    Islands
    Composer(s): Robert Fripp; Peter Sinfield
    Performer(s): King Crimson



    Earth, stream and tree encircled by sea
    Waves sweep the sand from my island
    My sunsets fade
    Field and glade wait only for rain
    Grain after grain love erodes my
    High weathered walls which fend off the tide
    Cradle the wind to my island

    Gaunt granite climbs where gulls wheel and glide
    Mournfully glide o'er my island
    My dawn bride's veil, damp and pale
    Dissolves in the sun
    Love's web is spun - cats prowl, mice run
    Wreathe snatch-hand briars where owls
    know my eyes
    Violet skies
    Touch my island
    Touch me

    Beneath the wind turned wave
    Infinite peace
    Islands join hands
    'Neath heaven's sea

    Dark harbour quays like fingers of stone
    Hungrily reach from my island
    Clutch sailor's words - pearls and gourds
    Are strewn on my shore
    Equal in love, bound in circles
    Earth, stream and tree return to the sea
    Waves sweep sand from my island, from me

    Night Train
    Composer(s): Rickie Lee Jones
    Performer(s): Rickie Lee Jones



    Here I'm going
    Walking with my baby in my arms
    Cuz I am in the wrong end of this eight ball black
    And the devil, see, he's right behind us
    And this worker said she's gonna take my little baby
    My little angel black
    But they won't getcha
    Cuz I'm right here witcha
    On the Night Train

    Swing low, Saint Cadillac
    Tearin' down the alley
    And I'm reaching so high for ya
    Don't let 'em take me back
    Broken like valiums and chumps in the rain
    That cry and quiver
    When a Blue Horizon is sleeping in the station
    With a ticket for a train
    Surely mine will deliver me there

    Here she comes...

    I'm safe here with you
    On the Night Train
    Oh mamma, mamma
    Concrete is wheeling by
    Down at the end of a lullaby
    On the Night Train

    Islands
    Composer(s): Mike Oldfield
    Performer(s): Bonnie Tyler



    Islands, from the first time we saw
    We could wait for this moment, like rocks on the shore
    We can never be closer, somehow
    For the moment that lasts, is this moment now
    When the night's on fire, will you keep the candlelight burning?
    Hold on to your heart's desire (When the night's on fire)
    When you see one bird into the wind, another one's turning
    And the two can fly much higher

    We are islands, but never too far
    We are islands
    And I need your light tonight
    And I need your light tonight
    We are islands, but never too far
    We are islands
    And I need your light tonight
    And I need your light tonight

    Islands, never been to before
    And we climb so high to where the wild birds soar
    There's a new path that we found just today
    I was lost in the forest and you showed me the way

    When the night's on fire, will you keep the candlelight burning?
    Hold on to your heart's desire (When the night's on fire)
    When you see one bird into the wind, another one's turning
    And the two can fly much higher

    Island Of Lost Souls
    Composer(s): Debbie Harry; Christopher Stein
    First release by: Blondie - 1982



    In Babylon
    On the boulevard of broken dreams
    My will power at the lowest ebb
    Oh what can I do?
    Oh buccaneer
    Can ya help me put my truck in gear?
    Can ya take me far away from here?
    Save my soul from sin?

    You wanna get away you've had it man
    Nothing's going right
    So come sit on the sands of the island
    Island of Lost Souls

    No luxuries, no no amenities
    Too dull, your senses
    Oh oh only primitive
    "Hey hey really get away," is what he said

    Where did he go?
    I'm tired of waiting here for him
    Where can he be?
    He's not with me
    Where did he go?
    What will I do alone?
    Why did he run, run away from me?

    The sky is blue the sea is warm and clear
    And golden sands are calling out to you inviting
    Make a new man outa you

    You can come for a while come with a friend
    Forget about work start all over again
    Let the real you through, here's what we do

    Where did he go?
    I'm tired of waiting here for him
    Where can he be?
    He's not with me
    Where did he go?
    What will I do alone?
    Why did he run, run away from me?

    No luxuries, no no amenities
    Too dull, your senses
    Oh oh only primitive
    Hey hey really get away
    Island of Lost Souls

    Ayya ayya ayya Island of Lost Souls

    Get up in the morning kick the covers from my bed
    The sunlight in my eyes is playing tricks with my head
    I work like a dog on the job every day
    I'm tryin make some money so I can go and play

    In the night time
    That's the right time
    In the night time
    That's the right time
    I wanna be with you in the night time

    I come home from work you know I'm tired and I'm beat
    I run in the kitchen get me something to eat
    I jump in the shower wash the world off my back
    I'm gonna get you baby that's a natural fact!

    In the night time
    That's the right time
    In the night time
    That's the right time
    I wanna be with you in the night time

    A hundred million people they got nothing to say
    They're running around in circles they just live for today
    Stick with me baby I'll show you how to fly
    We'll make such pretty music watch the world go by

    In the night time
    That's the right time
    In the night time
    That's the right time
    I wanna be with you in the night time

    Get up in the morning kick the covers from my bed
    The sunlight in my eyes is playing tricks with my head
    I work like a dog on the job every day
    I'm tryin make some money so I can go and play

    In the night time
    That's the right time
    In the night time
    That's the right time
    Here we go
    I wanna be with you in the night time
    In the night time

    and multiple other artists



    I wandered the streets and the gay crowded places
    Trying to forget you but somehow it seems
    My thoughts ever stray to our last sweet embraces
    Over the sea on the Island of Dreams

    High in the sky is the bird on the wing
    Please carry me with you
    Far far away from the mad rushing crowd
    Please carry me with you

    Again I would wander where memories infold me
    There on the beautiful Island of Dreams

    High in the sky is the bird on the wing
    Please carry me with you
    Far far away from the mad rushing crowd
    Please carry me with you

    Again I would wander where memories infold me
    There on the beautiful Island of Dreams
    Far far away on the Island of Dreams

    Ooh … Satisfaction guaranteed if I can get my way
    Satisfaction, yes indeed, there's nothing more to say
    Only that boys will be boys, and they rise to the occasion
    Girls, lovely girls, wanna start your night starvation

    Chorus
    I want to feel them (they like it), I want to squeeze them (you like it)
    I want to hold them (we want it) more, oh yeah
    I want to touch them (they like it), I want to squeeze them (you like it)
    I want to hug them (we want it) more, oh yeah

    Inter-action guaranteed, the fire down below
    They may be called the weaker sex, but female dynamo
    Only that boys will be boys, and they're out to kill the passion
    Girls, lovely girls, always wanna be in the fashion

    Chorus
    I want to feel them (they like it), I want to squeeze them (you like it)
    I want to hug them (we want it) more, oh yeah
    I want to touch them (they like it), I want to feel them (you like it)
    I want to hold them (we want it) more an' more an' more

    L-l-lazy lovers ain't no use, you end up needing more
    You've had a hard day's no excuse, we've heard it all before
    And that boys will be boys, they pissin' it an' shoutin' out now
    Girls, lovely girls, oh what would we do without them

    Chorus
    I want to feel them (they like it), oh, I want to squeeze them (you like it)
    I want to hold them (we want it) more, oh yeah
    I want to touch them, ooh ah ah (they like it), I want to feel them, uh uh uh (you like it)
    I want to hug them (we want it) more an' more an' more

    I want to touch them, hold them
    Squeeze them, feel them, kiss them
    Clean them, stroke them, hug them
    Ooh, more an' more an' more an' more

    I want to hug them, tease them
    Squeeze them, hold them, touch them
    Squeeze them, hold them, rub them
    Ooh, more an' more an' more … an' more an' more … an' more an' more

    Island In The Sun
    (German Version: Wo Meine Sonne Scheint)
    Composer(s): Harry Belafonte; Lord Burgess
    Performer(s): Harry Belafonte



    This is my island in the sun
    Where my people have toiled since time begun
    I may sail on many a sea
    Her shores will always be home to me

    Oh, island in the sun
    Willed to me by my father's hand
    All my days I will sing in praise
    Of your forest, waters, your shining sand

    As morning breaks the heaven on high
    I lift my heavy load to the sky
    Sun comes down with a burning glow
    Mingles my sweat with the earth below

    Oh, island in the sun
    Willed to me by my father's hand
    All my days I will sing in praise
    Of your forest, waters, your shining sand

    I see woman on bended knee
    Cutting cane for her family
    I see man at the waterside
    Casting nets at the surging tide

    Oh, island in the sun
    Willed to me by my father's hand
    All my days I will sing in praise
    Of your forest, waters, your shining sand

    I pray the day will never come
    When I can't awake to the sound of drum
    Never let me miss carnival
    With calypso songs philosophical

    Oh, island in the sun
    Willed to me by my father's hand
    All my days I will sing in praise
    Of your forest, waters, your shining sand

    Now a fish kinda likes the water
    And that's just where he wants to be
    And a monkey kinda digs bananas
    So he lives in the top of a tree
    But my eyes are made for darkness
    So the nightime is right for me
    'Cause I'm a night owl honey, sleep all day long
    I'm a night owl honey, sleep all day long

    Most folks they like the daytime
    'Cause they like to see the shining sun
    They're up in the mornin'
    Off and a runnin' till they're too tired for havin' fun
    But when the sun goes down
    And the bright lights shine
    My daytime has just begun
    'Cause I'm a night owl honey, sleep all day long
    I'm a nightowl honey, sleep all day long

    Won't you turn out them bright lights baby
    They're just about to drive me blind
    Oh won't you draw then curtains for me papa
    Watch and you'll see my love light shine

    Now there are two sides to this great big world
    And one of them is always night
    If you can take care of business in the sunshine baby
    I guess you're gonna be alright
    But don't come looking for me to lend you a hand
    My eyes just can't stand the light
    'Cause I'm a night owl honey, sleep all day long
    'Cause I'm a night owl honey, sleep all day long

    Island In The Stream
    Performer(s): Kenny Rogers



    Baby
    when I met you there was peace unknown
    I set out to get you with a fine tooth comb
    I was soft inside
    there was something goin' on
    You do something to me that I can't explain
    Hold me closer and I feel no pain

    Ev'ry beat of my heart
    we got something goin' on
    Tender love is blind
    it requires a dedication
    All this love we feel needs no conversation
    We ride it together
    makin' love with each other
    Islands in the stream that is what we are

    No one in between
    how can we be wrong
    Sail away with me to another world
    And we rely on each other from one lover to another
    I can't love without you if the love was gone
    Ev'rything is nothing if you got no one
    And you did walk in the night slowly losin' sight of the real thing.
    But than won't happen to us and we got no doubt

    Too deep in love and we got no way out and the message is clear

    This could be the year for the real thing
    no more will you cry
    Baby
    I will hurt you never
    We start and end as one in love forever
    We can ride it together
    makin' love with each other . . .
    Sailing
    hey
    you can sail away with me.
    Islands in the stream that is what we are . . .

    Who's defending whose attack?

    The only thing I know is that you`re only real to me
    I see your hair hang down around your shoulders, and your collar
    I lean your head upon a pillow made of leaves and straw
    Night of the long grass, night of the long grass

    The night was warm, the moon was bright, your perfume filled the air
    as I looked down on you, you ran your fingers through my hair
    With lips apart, I thought that you were going to call my name
    instead the kiss that followed was enough to knock my brain
    Night of the long grass, night of the long grass
    I'm plainly left with misty dreams, they're in my mind
    my life was shattered on that night that you were mine
    and now there`s nothing left, except the memory
    or is it misery, of how things used to be
    Night of the long grass, night of the long grass

    I walk along in dreams, I cannot feel, I cannot see
    The only thing I know is that you`re only real to me
    I see your hair hang down around your shoulders, and your collar
    I lean your head upon a pillow made of leaves and straw
    Night of the long grass, night of the long grass

    Night of the long grass
    night of the long grass ... (rep. and fade)

    Island
    Performer(s): Eddy Raven



    There was a time
    There was a place I loved
    That was my moment
    That's just the way it was
    Careless and crazy
    Running to God knows where
    Now where is that heart?
    Where is the one who cares?

    I can hear you callin'
    Wandering boy come home soon
    I hear the music
    I see your face in the moon
    Who am I foolin'?
    There's no need for me to pretend
    I might sail forever
    And never find that island again

    I fight with my memory
    Find all the pieces I can
    Of a beautiful woman
    Who trusted her heart in my hands
    Now what kind of sailor
    Lets such a dream be lost?
    Tonight we'd be sailing
    Out under the Southern Cross

    I can hear you callin'
    Wandering boy come home soon
    I hear the music
    I see your face in the moon
    Who am I foolin'?
    There's no need for me to pretend
    I might sail forever
    And never find that island again

    Who am I foolin'?
    There's no need for me to pretend
    I might sail forever
    And never find that island again

    I might sail forever
    And never find that island again

    Night Of My Nights
    Composer(s): George Forrest; Robert C. Wright
    Performer(s): Vic Damone;
    Percy Faith; Marilyn Maye; David Rendall



    Play on the cymbal, the timbal, the lyre
    Play with appropriate passion
    Fashion songs of delight and delicious desire
    For the night of my nights
    Come where the so well beloved is waiting
    Where the rose and the jasmine mingle
    While I tell her the moon is formating
    And 'tis sin to be single!
    Let peacocks and monkeys in purple adornings
    Show her the way to my bridal chamber
    Then get you gone 'til the morn of my mornings
    After the night of my nights!
    'Tis the night of my nights!
    'Tis the night of my nights!

    Isis
    Composer(s): Bob Dylan; Jacques Levy
    First release by: Bob Dylan - 1976
    Covered by multiple other artists



    I married Isis on the fifth day of May
    But I could not hold on to her very long
    So I cut off my hair and I rode straight away
    For the wild unknown country where I could not go wrong

    I came to a high place of darkness and light
    The dividing line ran through the center of town
    I hitched up my pony to a post on the right
    Went in to a laundry to wash my clothes down

    A man in the corner approached me for a match
    I knew right away he was not ordinary
    He said "Are you looking for something easy to catch?"
    I said "I got no money"
    He said "That ain't necessary"

    We set out that night for the cold in the North
    I gave him my blanket he gave me his word
    I said "Where are we going ?"
    He said "We'd be back by the fourth"
    I said "That's the best new that I've ever heard"

    I was thinking about turquoise I was thinking about gold
    I was thinking about diamonds and the world's biggest necklace
    As we rode through the canyons through the devilish cold
    I was thinking about Isis how she thought I was so reckless

    How she told me that one day we meet up again
    And things would be different the next time we wed
    If I only could hang on and just be her friend
    I still can't remember all the best things she said

    We came to the pyramids all embedded in ice
    He said "There's a body I'm trying to find
    If I carry it out it'll bring a good prize"
    It was then that I knew what he had on his mind

    The wind it was howling and the snow was outrageous
    We chopped through the night and we chopped through the dawn
    When he died I was hoping that it wasn't contagious
    But I made up my mind that I had to go on.
    I broke into the tomb but the casket was empty
    There was no jewels no nothing I felt I'd been had
    When I saw that my partner was just being friendly
    When I took up his offer I must-a been mad

    I picked up his body and I dragged him inside
    Threw him down in the hole and I put back the cover
    I said a quick prayer and I felt satisfied
    Then I rode back to find Isis just to tell her I love her

    She was there in the meadow where the creek used to rise
    Blinded by sleep and in need of a bed
    I came in from the East with the sun in my eyes
    I cursed her one time then I rode on ahead

    She said "Where ya been?"
    I said "No place special?"
    She said "You look different"
    I said "Well I guess"
    She said "You been gone"
    I said "That's only natural"
    She said "You gonna stay?"
    I said "If you want me to, Yeah "

    Isis oh Isis you mystical child
    What drives me to you is what drives me insane
    I still can remember the way that you smiled
    On the fifth day of May in the drizzling rain

    Night Of Fear
    Composer(s): Roy Wood
    Performer(s): The Move; Carl Wayne



    The silent night has turned to a night of fear
    With windows howling wind into your ear
    You listen to the spirits far behind
    These things you hear are too much for your mind

    The bell strikes and your spine chills like the grave
    The chill that turns your blood from red to grey
    You know that with these things you see and hear
    The silent night has turned to a night of fear

    Image on your bedroom wall
    Shadows marching in the hall
    Just about to flip your mind
    Just about to trip your mind
    Just about to flip your mind
    Just about to trip your mind

    The green and purple lights affect your sight
    Your mother cannot comfort you tonight
    Your brain calls out for help that's never there
    The silent night has turned to a night of fear

    Image on your bedroom wall
    Shadows marching in the hall
    Just about to flip your mind
    Just about to trip your mind
    Just about to flip your mind
    Just about to trip your mind

    The silent night has turned to a night of fear
    With windows howling wind into your ear
    You listen to the spirits far behind
    These things you hear are too much for your mind

    Just about to flip your mind
    Just about to trip your mind
    Just about to flip your mind
    Just about to trip your mind

    I'se The B'y
    (Traditional)
    Performer(s): Great Big Sea



    I'se the b'y that builds the boat
    And i'se the b'y that sails her!
    I'se the b'y that catches the fish
    And brings 'em home to Lizer

    Hip yer partner, Sally Tibbo'!
    Hip yer partner, Sally Brown!
    Fogo, Twillingate, Morton's Harbour
    All around the circle!

    I don't want your maggoty fish
    That's no good winter
    I could buy as good as that
    Down in Bonavista

    I took Lizer to a dance
    And faith, but she could travel'
    And every step that she did take
    Was up to her knees in gravel

    Night Of A Thousand Stars
    Composer(s): Warren Haynes; Robert Hunter; Phil Lesh & Friends
    Performer(s): Phil Lesh & Friends



    Full moon rising over Alcatraz
    Hangin' there like a big topaz
    Ruling this night of a thousand stars
    With a back seat full of broken guitars
    Raised in chains by Jehosaphat's daughter
    Served 20 years for walkin' on the water
    Just out fishin' for love in the rain
    From an easy chair in the passing lane
    If I had forgotten, I'd remember well
    The fruit and the tree from which it fell
    Many long years rollin' homeward bound
    Goin' hell-for-leather on this merry go round

    Night of a thousand stars
    The sound of sweet guitars
    On this night - on this night
    On this night - on this night
    Of a thousand blazing stars

    Down in the laundry with my head in my hands
    Doin' whatever the Lord commands
    Poppin' the hood off of a Ford V-8
    Disguised with an out of state license plate
    Payin' my taxes in whiskey and blood
    Mixed in a barrel floating on the flood
    Doing my penance for a life of crime
    Singing B minor Masses in double time
    Tiger and a lion hanging on the wall
    Between the head of a saint and a bocce ball
    I've been rebuked and I've been scorned
    But I can't ever say that I haven't been warned

    Night of a thousand stars
    The sound of sweet guitars
    On this night - on this night
    On this night - on this night
    Of a thousand stars

    I tried to serve you right - I
    Tried to serve you well - it
    Looked alright by morning light
    In hindsight - who can tell?

    If I could recapture one moment of truth
    From the firm foundation of a misspent youth
    I'd fall like rain on this thirsty earth
    A testament of beauty and worth

    But if it don't happen because it can't
    I hope and pray this wish you grant
    From one man's heart to a falling star
    We always remember who we are

    Remember the night of a thousand stars
    When love swam naked in the reservoir
    Writing mad sonnets in the midnight park
    Leaving tracks of tears for her watermark
    Drums of the jungle on the edge of night
    Only you could see with your perfect sight
    If you don't remember you can be excused
    'Cause it could never be reproduced

    Night of a thousand stars
    The sound of sweet guitars
    On this night - on this night
    On this night - on this night
    On this night - on this night
    - on this night
    Of a thousand stars
