She's A Mystery To Me Composer(s): Dr. David Evans; Paul Hewson Performer(s): Roy Orbison; The Hungry Ghost
Darkness falls and she will take me by the hand Take me to some twilight land Where all but love is grey Where I can't find my way Without her as my guide
Night falls I'm cast beneath here spell Daylight comes our heaven torn to hell Am I left to burn And burn eternally She's a mystery to me She's a mystery girl She's a mystery girl
In the night of love words tangled in her hair Words soon to disappear A love so sharp it cut like a switchblade to my heart Words tearing me apart She tears again my bleeding heart I want to run she's pulling me apart Fallen angel cries Then I just melt away She's a mystery to me She's a mystery girl She's a mystery girl She's a mystery girl
Haunted by her side is the darkness in her eyes That so enslaves me But if my love is blind then I don't want to see She's a mystery to me
Night falls I'm cast beneath her spell Daylight comes our heaven torn to hell Am I left to burn And burn eternally She's a mystery to me She's a mystery girl She's a mystery girl She's a mystery girl

Shepherd Of The Hills Composer(s): Horatio Nicholls; Edgar Leslie Performer(s): Jack Hylton
When day is breaking and birds are awaking I'm blue when the sun starts to beam Night-time a-stealing is much more appealing As I lay me down to dream I see my homeland where love is supreme....
Shepherd of the hills, I hear you calling Shepherd of the hills, when twilight falls I seem to picture the black sheep returning I miss the fold, and my sad heart is yearning For the daffodils and crimson clover By the rocks and rills I long to roam Back to the near ones and dear ones who love me Shepherd of the hills, I'm coming home
Over the highway as I'm wending my way I look toward the house in the lane There with her knitting I see someone sitting She looks through the window pane She knows her waiting has not been in vain....
Shepherd of the hills, I hear you calling Shepherd of the hills, when twilight falls I seem to picture the black sheep returning I miss the fold, and my sad heart is yearning For the daffodils and crimson clover By the rocks and rills I long to roam Back to the near ones and dear ones who love me Shepherd of the hills, I'm coming home

I can't conceal the tender feeling Now that you are close to me I look at you with tender feeling And can't help kiss you tenderly

Sheep Composer(s): Roger Waters First release by: Pink Floyd - 1977
Harmlessly passing your time in the grassland away Only dimly aware of a certain unease in the air You better watch out There may be dogs about I've looked over Jordan, and I have seen Things are not what they seem
What do you get for pretending the danger's not real Meek and obedient you follow the leader Down well trodden corridors into the valley of steel What a surprise! A look of terminal shock in your eyes Now things are really what they seem No, this is no bad dream
The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want He makes me down to lie Through pastures green He leadeth me the silent waters by With bright knives He releaseth my soul He maketh me to hang on hooks in high places He converteth me to lamb cutlets For lo, He hath great power, and great hunger When cometh the day we lowly ones Through quiet reflection, and great dedication Master the art of karate Lo, we shall rise up And then we'll make the bugger's eyes water
Bleating and babbling I fell on his neck with a scream Wave upon wave of demented avengers March cheerfully out of obscurity into the dream
Have you heard the news? The dogs are dead! You better stay home And do as you're told Get out of the road if you want to grow old

She'd Rather Be Homeless Composer(s): Anne Dailey; Shel Silverstein Performer(s): Old Dogs; Marley's Ghost
It was our twenty-fifth anniversary And I was watching the Super Bowl When suddenly she started cursing me Hell, I almost dropped my remote control And she said "That's that!" and grabbed her hat And headed out into the snow And that was almost two long years ago....
Now see her shuffling down the street Combat boots on her dainty feet Pushing her belongings in a cart from the A&P See her bumming cigarettes, On the sidewalk where she sits Lord, she'd rather be homeless, than here at home with me
She'd rather be sleeping in some doorway Than lolling in the lap of luxury And when the cold wind starts to blow Lord, it hurts me so to know She'd rather be homeless, than here at home with me
She said all my friends were dumb And she called me "Yuppee scum!" She said she didn't give a damn 'bout my BMW or my AT&T She said to take these credit cards of mine, And stick'm where the sun don't shine Cause she'd rather be homeless, than here at home with me
I see her sitting on her full length mink And as I walk by she winks Saying "Spare some change for a lady, a lady who's finally free" She don't want my bonds and stocks, Living in her cardboard box Oh, She'd rather be homeless, than here at home with me
She'd rather eat soup down at the shelter Than at the Country Club sipping fine Chablis And as I throw her a dime Lord, it breaks this heart of mine to know She'd rather be homeless, than here at home with me
Yes, she'd rather be homeless, than here at home with me
She Works Hard For The Money Composer(s): Donna Summer; Michael Omartian First release by: Donna Summer - 1983
She works hard for the money So hard for it, honey She works hard for the money So you better treat her right
Onetta here in the corner stand and wonders where she is And it's strange to her, some people seem to have everything 9 am on the hour hand and she's waiting for the bell And she's looking real pretty She's waiting for her clientele
She works hard for the money So hard for it, honey She works hard for the money So you better treat her right
Twentyeight years have come and gone And she's seen a lot of tears of the ones who come in They really seem to need her there It's a sacrifice working day to day For little money just tips for pay But it's worth it all just to hear them say that they care
She works hard for the money So hard for it, honey She works hard for the money So you better treat her right
She already knows she's seen her bad times She already knows these are the good times She'll never sell out, she never will, not for a dollar bill She works haaaaard.........
She works hard for the money So hard for it, honey She works hard for the money So you better treat her right
