Conquistador Composer(s): Gary Brooker - Keith Reid First release by: Procol Harum - 1967
Conquistador your stallion stands in need of company And like some angel's haloed brow You reek of purity I see your armor plated breast Has long since lost its sheen And in your death mask face There are no signs which can be seen
And though I hoped for something to find I could see no place to unwind
Conquistador a vulture sits, upon your silver sheath And in your rusty scabbard now, the sand has taken seed And though your jewel-encrusted blade Has not been plundered still The sea has washed across your face And taken of its fill
And though I hoped for something to find I could see no place to unwind
Conquistador there is no time, I must pay my respect And though I came to jeer at you I leave now with regret And as the gloom begins to fall I see there is no, only all Though you came with sword held high You did not conquer, only die
And though I hoped for something to find I could see no place to unwind
And though I hoped for something to find I could see no place to unwind

There He Goes Composer(s): Eddie Miller - Durwood Haddock - W.S. Stevenson Performer(s): Patsy Cline
There he goes, he's walkin' away Each step he takes brings heartaches my way She won his heart, I lost him someway There he goes, he's walkin' away
If I hadn't cheated and I hadn't lied I'd be the one, walkin' by his side I love him still and I guess that it shows He's walkin' away, there he goes
Oh, if I hadn't cheated and I hadn't lied I'd be the one walkin' by his side I love him still and I guess that is shows He's walkin' away, there he goes
Roundabout Composer(s): Jon Anderson; Steve Howe Performer(s): Yes
I'll be the roundabout The words will make you out 'n' out And change the day your way Call it morning driving thru the sound and in and out the valley
The music dance and sing They make the children really ring I'll spend the day your way Call it morning driving thru the sound and in and out the valley
In and around the lake Mountains come out of the sky and they stand there One mile over we'll be there and we'll see you Ten true summers we'll be there and laughing too Twenty four before my love you'll see I'll be there with you
I will remember you Your silhouette will charge the view Of distance atmosphere Call it morning driving thru the sound and even in the valley
In and around the lake Mountains come out of the sky and they stand there One mile over we'll be there and we'll see you Ten true summers we'll be there and laughing too Twenty four before my love you'll see I'll be there with you
Along the drifting cloud the eagle searching down on the land Catching the swirling wind the sailor sees the rim of the land The eagles dancing wings create as weather spins out of hand Go closer hold the land feel partly no more than grains of sand We stand to lose all time a thousand answers by in our hand Next to your deeper fears we stand Surrounded by a millions years
I'll be the round about The words will make you out 'n' out I'll be the round about The words will make you out 'n' out
I'll be the round about The words will make you out 'n' out And change the day your way Call it morning driving thru the sound and in and out the valley
In and around the lake Mountains come out of the sky and they stand there One mile over we'll be there and we'll see you Ten true summers we'll be there and laughing too Twenty four before my love you'll see I'll be there with you
I felt the warmnest of your breath It's hard to tell, is it now or then... Our past our life so far apart never to question never to ask why...
There has never been a lover ever to satisfy my warmest desire... until you came along from where, I don't know...
When sunlight shines on your face my heart race to the other place... where we met so long ago... Hold my hands promises to never let me go... To sickness and in health...
There has never been a lover ever to satisfy my warmest desire... until you came along from where, I don't know...
There has never been a lover ever to satisfy my warmest desire... Baby, Baby until you came along and sealed my faith...
Father I ask of you to make it last just long enough until I can feel That lift you once blessed us with once before.. My true love have looked me in the eyes again for this last time...
There has never been a lover ever to satisfy my warmest desire... until you came along from where, I don't know...
There has never been a lover ever to satisfy my warmest desire... until you came along from where, I don't know...
The pleasure I feel from this lover that has never been.. A lover ever, a lover ever to love me like you yes you baby to satisfy my warmest desire until you came along and sealed my faith...
Conjured Composer(s): Denise Craig; William Robert Emerson Performer(s): Wynonie Harris
You said it was love made me stutter when I talk But is it love that makes me stagger when I walk?
The Gypsy woman told me "She's got you conjured, son" Well, somebody's lyin' -- you are that Gypsy one
You said I was jealous when I didn't go to work You sprinkled my shoes with graveyard dirt
The Gypsy woman told me "She's got you conjured, son" Well, somebody's lyin' -- you are that Gypsy one
The whiskey you bought me, I was afraid to unscrew it The Gypsy woman told me it was embalming fluid You got a Black Cat Bone and a Buzzard Feather A John the Conquer Root and they're all tied together
The Gypsy woman told me "She's got you conjured, son" Well, somebody's lyin' -- you are that Gypsy one
The whiskey you bought me, I was afraid to unscrew it The Gypsy woman told me it was embalming fluid You got a Black Cat Bone and a Buzzard Feather A John the Conquer Root and they're all tied together

'Round Midnight Composer(s): Bernie Hanighen; Thelonious Monk; Cootie Williams Performer(s): Julie London; and various other artists
It begins to tell 'round midnight, midnight I do pretty well, till after sundown Suppertime I'm feelin' sad But it really gets bad 'round midnight
Memories always start 'round midnight Haven't got the heart to stand those memories When my heart is still with you And ol' midnight knows it, too When a quarrel we had needs mending Does it mean that our love is ending Darlin' I need you, lately I find You're out of my heart And I'm out of my mind
Let our hearts take wings' 'round midnight, midnight Let the angels sing for your returning Till our love is safe and sound And old midnight comes around Feelin' sad really gets bad Round, Round, Round Midnight

Conjunction Junction, what's your function? Hooking up words and phrases and clauses in complex sentences like In the morning, when I am usually wide awake I love to take a walk through the gardens and down by the lake, where I usually see a duck and a drake, and I wonder as I walk by what they would say if they could speak although I know that's an absurd thought
Conjunction Junction, what's your function? Hooking up cars and making them function Conjunction Junction, how's that function?

Round And Round Composer(s): Lou Stallman; Joe Shapiro Performer(s): Perry Como
Find a wheel and it goes round, round, round As it skims along with a happy sound As it goes along the ground, ground, ground Till it leads you to the one you love
Then your love will hold you round, round, round In your heart's a song with a brand new song And your head goes spinning round, round, round 'cause you've found what you've been dreamin' of
In the night you see the oval moon Going round and round in tune And the ball of sun in the day Makes a girl and boy wanna say
Find a ring and put it round, round, round And with ties so strong that two hearts are bound Put it on the one you've found, found, found For you know that this is really love
Find a wheel and it goes round, round, round As it skims along with a happy sound As it goes along the ground, ground, ground Till it leads you to the one you love
Then your love, you'll hold her round, round, round In your heart's a song with a brand new song And your head goes spinning round, round, round 'cause you've found what you've been dreamin' of
In the night you see the oval moon Going round and round in tune And the ball of sun in the day Makes a girl and boy wanna say
Find a ring and put it round, round, round And with ties so strong your two hearts are bound Put it on the one you've found, found, found For you know that this is really love
Find a ring, out it on For you know that this is really love, really love, really love
There's a brand new dance That just hit this town Makes you feel so good This dance they call the round and round Round and round, up and down Round and round, up and down You know the kids got a bloodhound Out on the playing ground And when they want to have some fun They start to goin' round and round Round and round, up and down Round and round, up and down I got an elevator man In the heart of town And when he's feeling right He will carry you round and round Round and round, up and down Round and round, up and down Baby don't be jealous When I come to town I'm just a country girl Everybody's tryin to push poor me around Round and round, up and down Round and round, up and down
There Goes My First Love Composer(s): Greenaway - Mason Performer(s): The Drifters
There goes my girl there goes my first love With the guy I used to call my friend There goes love I thought would never end And I can't forget her my heart is breaking When I see her holding hands with him Can't help thinking how it might have been She's still my first love
My first love is still around She never left this part of town Now I see her most ev'ry day but she don't look my way There goes my first love with the guy I used to call my friend
She loved me but not for long. I wish I knew where I went wrong Now ev'ry day those pretty feet come walking on down the street
There goes my first love with the guy I used to call my friend...

Congratulations and celebrations When I tell everyone that you're in love with me Congratulations and Jubilations I want the world to know I'm happy as can be

I hear footsteps slowly walking As they gently walk across a lonely floor And a voice is softly saying Darling, this will be good-bye for ever more
There goes my reason for living There goes the one of my dreams There goes my only possession There goes my everything
As my memory turns back the pages I can see the happy years we had before Now the love that kept this old heart beating Has been shattered by the closing of the door
There goes my reason for living There goes the one of my dreams There goes my only possession There goes my everything
