Ship Of Fools Composer(s): John Densmore; Robbie Krieger; Ray Manzarek; Jim Morrison Performer(s): The Doors
The human race was dyin' out Noone left to scream and shout People walking on the moon Smog will get you pretty soon
Everyone was hanging out Hanging up and hanging down Hanging in and holding fast Hope our little world will last
Yeah, along came Mr. Goodtrips Looking for a new a ship Come on, people better climb on board Come on, baby, now we're going home Ship of fools, ship of fools
The human race was dyin' out Noone left to scream and shout People walking on the moon Smog will get you pretty soon Ship of fools, ship of fools Ship of fools, ship of fools Ship of fools, ship of fools ...
When you look back through the time What did you find in your life What do you see, through your heart Is there still a strength in you or are you falling apart
Come let me hold you in my arms I'll always be here for you Close your eyes and rest your soul Let me wipe away your tears I'll kiss away your fears So you can fly again spread your wings up high and touch that one endless sky
Shining star, sparkling in the sky Like a diamond shining in your special way I see you twinkling light night and day Shining star, shining way up high In the dark sky, you are the guiding light forever shining bright out there in the night
There's light inside your eyes Is it for tomorrows dreams That you believe, light of hope Could it be the tears you cry from those sad memories
Come let me hold you in my arms I'll always be here for you Close your eyes and rest your soul There's so many dreams to see, just let your heart go free Sail on the winds of time Keep on searching cause your dream are just a touch away
Shining star, sparkling in the sky I feel you so close to me, you are my light I see your twinkling light rain or shine Shining star, shining way up high Keep on shining even on stormy nights you're always shining right here in my heart
Shining star, sparkling in the sky Like a diamond shining in your special way I see you twinkling light night and day Shining star, shining way up high In the dark sky, you are the guiding light forever shining bright out there in the night

Go ahead with what youre doing, you dont have to pay me any mind Dont think I wont get to it, I got plans for her tonight You can watch her dance forever, you wont hold her in your arms tonight When its all said and done, I will be the one to hold her tight
So let her shine, shine, shine Sit back and let that little girl shine, shine, shine When the night is over shell be mine, mine, mine Sit back and let that little girl shine
Shes like a brand new penny, even though she never had a dime See her sparkle see her glisten, no one holds a candle when she shines She turns a mile a minute, see her twirl just like spinning top But one thing that youll find, its me whos on her mind when the music stops
So let her shine, shine, shine Sit back and let that little girl shine, shine, shine When the night is over shell be mine, mine, mine Sit back and let that little girl shine
You can watch her dance forever, you wont hold her in your arms tonight When its all said and done, I will be the one to hold her tight
So let her shine, shine, shine Sit back and let that little girl shine, shine, shine When the night is over shell be mine, mine, mine Sit back and let that little girl shine
Let her shine Sit back and let that little girl shine, shine, shine Sit back and let that little girl shine, shine, shine When the night is over shell be mine, mine, mine Sit back and let that little girl shine
Shine On, Harvest Moon Composer(s): Nora Bayes; Jack Norworth First performance by: Nora Bayes & Jack Norworth - 1908 Covered by multiple other artists
The night was mighty dark so you could hardly see And the moon refused to shine Couple sittin' underneath the willow tree; for love they pined The little maid was kinda 'fraid of darkness, so She said, "I guess I'll go" The boy began to sigh, looked up in the sky And told the moon his little tale of woe
"Shine on, shine on, harvest moon up in the sky I ain't had no lovin' since January, February, June or July Snow time ain't no time to stay outdoors and spoon So shine on, shine on, harvest moon, for me and my gal"
I can't see why a boy should cry when by his side Is a girl he loves so true All he has to say is "Won't you be my bride, for I love you" But why should I be telling you this secret when I know that you can guess? Harvest moon will smile, shine on all the while If the little girl should answer "Yes"!
"Shine on, shine on, harvest moon up in the sky I ain't had no lovin' since January, February, June or July Snow time ain't no time to stay outdoors and spoon So shine on, shine on, harvest moon, for me and my gal"
Shine On You Crazy Diamond Composer(s): Roger Waters; Richard Wright; David Gilmour First release by: Pink Floyd - 1975 Covered by multiple other artists
Remember when you were young, you shone like the sun Shine on you crazy diamond Now there's a look in your eyes, like black holes in the sky Shine on you crazy diamond You were caught on the crossfire of childhood and stardom blown on the steel breeze Come on you target for faraway laughter come on you stranger, you legend, you martyr, and shine! You reached for the secret too soon, you cried for the moon Shine on you crazy diamond Threatened by shadows at night, and exposed in the light Shine on you crazy diamond Well you wore out your welcome with random precision rode on the steel breeze Come on you raver, you seer of visions come on you painter, you piper, you prisoner, and shine!
Nobody knows where you are, how near or how far Shine on you crazy diamond Pile on many more layers and I'll be joining you there Shine on you crazy diamond And we'll bask in the shadow of yesterday's triumph sail on the steel breeze Come on you boy child, you winner and loser come on you miner for truth and delusion, and shine
Shine On Brightly Composer(s): Gary Brooker; Keith Reid Performer(s): Procol Harum
My Prussian-blue electric clock's alarm bell rings, it will not stop and I can see no end in sight and search in vain by candlelight for some long road that goes nowhere for some signpost that is not there And even my befuddled brain is shining brightly, quite insane The chandelier is in full swing as gifts for me the three kings bring of myrrh and frankincense, I'm told and fat old Buddhas carved in gold And though it seems they smile with glee I know in truth they envy me and watch as my befuddled brain shines on brightly quite insane Above all else confusion reigns And though I ask no-one explains My eunuch friend has been and gone He said that I must soldier on And though the Ferris wheel spins round my tongue it seems has run aground and croaks as my befuddled brain shines on brightly, quite insane
Shine A Little Love Composer(s): Jeff Lynne Electric Light Orchestra; Meanstreet Boys; Jason Prince
Although the things you've done I wouldn't criticize I guess you had your way You see I gotta make you understand I know it sounds a foolish thing to say But it don't matter baby 'cos' today's another day
You shine a little love on my life You shine a little love on my life You shine a little love on my life and let me see
Remember,tonight we're gonna run till dawn Remember,tonight we're gonna say We'll never stop we got a good thing goin' on I know you've heard it all before But I really need you darlin' every day I need you more
You shine a little love on my life You shine a little love on my life You shine a little love on my life and let me see
Can you understand (Yes I understand) Can you feel it's right (I know it is) Will you be the same (I'll do it all again)
It's been a year now and it's getting so much better You came home without a word Though everybody said you'll soon forget her Thay couldn't see and they just didn't understand And lookin' in the mirror there were fools at either hand
Can you understand (Yes I understand) Can you feel it's right (I know it is) Will you be the same (I'll do it all again)
How many days had I been waiting there to tell you I really can't believe We're walkin' out into the world tonight We'll do it all again until the break of light And the feelin' in your heart will soon be shinin' in your eyes
You shine a little love on my life You shine a little love on my life You shine a little love on my life and let me see
Shine Composer(s): Lew Brown - Ford Dabney - Cecil Mack Performer(s): Ella Fitzgerald and multiple other artists
'Cause my hair is curly Just because my teeth are pearly Just because I always wear a smile Like to dress up in the latest style

Shilo
Composer(s): Neil Diamond
Performer(s): Neil Diamond; Ray Gehring
Young child with dreams
Dream ev'ry dream on your own
When children play
seems like you end up alone
Papa says he'd love to be with you
If he had the time
So you turn on the only friend you can find
There in your mind
Shilo, when I was young
I used to call you name
When no one else would come
Shilo, you always came
And we'd play
Young girl with fire
Something said she understood
I wanted to fly
She made me feel like I could
Held my hand out, and I let her take me
Blind as a child
All I saw was the way that she made me smile
She made me smile
Shilo, when I was young
I used to call you name
When no one else would come
Shilo, you always came
And you'd stay
Had a dream, and it filled me with wonder
She had other plans
Got to go, and I know that you'll understand
I understand
Shilo, when I was young
I used to call you name
When no one else would come
Shilo, you always came
Come today

She's Single Again Composer(s): Charlie Craig; Pete McCann Performer(s): Janie Fricke; Reba McEntire
I just gotta tell ya what I saw last night I wished I was guessing but I know I'm right She walked in this place with a smile on her face and I wondered why she was alone Every man watched as she swayed on by The way she was looking every woman could cry and then I saw her sit down with her lawyer and I knew what was going on
She's single again, hold on to your men She'll make us worried wives And bring us broken lives and heartaches that never end She's single again She's no woman's friend and she'd making her move She's got nothing to lose Look out she's single again
Tell me is this number four or is this number five Tell me how many husbands has she buried alive She uses the favors that the good Lord gave her with the devil's design OOOh I know she's thinking she's on top of the world I've seen her working and I'm warning you girls She's single again She's got a way with men, but she'd better get away from mine
She's single again, hold on to your men She'll make us worried wives And bring us broken lives and heartaches that never end She's single again She's no woman's friend and she'd making her move She's got nothing to lose Look out she's single again ...

She's Out Of My Life She's Out Of My Life Damned Indecision And Cursed Pride Kept My Love For Her Locked Deep Inside And It Cuts Like A Knife She's Out Of My Life
She's only a bird In a gilded cage A beautiful sight to see You may think she's happy And free from care She's not Tho' she seems to be 'Tis sad when you think Of her wasted life For youth cannot mate with age And her beauty was sold For an old man's gold She's a bird in a gilded cage
