    A Soapbox Opera
    Composer(s): Rick Davies - Roger Hodgson
    Performer(s): Supertramp



    "I want to tell you something
    Listen to me
    I'm trying to say, I'm better than you
    I am only what I am"

    "We must not stand still
    For the night is coming
    Every man, every woman and child
    Everybody help me"

    I hear, only what I want to hear
    But, I have to believe in something
    Have to believe in just one thing
    I said Father Washington, you're all mixed up
    Collecting sinners in an old tin cup
    Well, spare a listen for a restless fool
    There's something missing when I need your rule

    Well, hey there
    You tell me you're a holy man
    But, although I am just a beginner
    I don't see you as a winner
    I said, Sister Washington, you're all washed up
    Collecting teardrops in a paper cup
    If I could tell you what you need to know
    If I could tell you to get on with the show

    I'd rather never leave her
    There's a storm in my head
    Makes me hear what you say
    Just was it true?
    So, what have I to do?
    Well, what has he to do?
    Oh, what is there to-oo do
    What oh-oh-ohoh

    "All creatures great and small
    all things wise and wonderful, the lord god made them all"

    Mary, oh tell me what I'm living for
    'Cause I feel like I'm tossed in the river
    Oh' have you a son to deliver

    I said, Father Washington, you're all mixed up
    Collecting sinners in an old tin cup
    you tell the children what you need to know
    But, will they listen when it's time to go

    Oh, Sister Robinson, you're all washed up
    Collecting teardrops in a paper cup
    Can someone tell me what I need to know
    Can someone help me to get on with the show

    A Smile Like Yours
    Composer(s): Diane Warren
    Performer(s): Natalie Cole; Skyler Jett



    Ooh-ooh
    Thought I'd seen everything
    There was to see in this world
    Now I'm not so sure
    I've really seen anything at all
    I thought life, could show me no surprises
    And then you came, and showed me I was wrong

    I have seen the bluest skies
    Rainbows that would make you cry
    I have seen miracles that moved my soul
    Days that changed my life
    I have seen the brightest stars
    Shine like diamonds in the dark
    Seen all the wonders of the world
    But I've never seen a smile
    As beautiful as yours, ooh-ooh, yeah

    Oh I thought I'd been everywhere
    I'd climbed a mountain so high
    Sailed the sea, crossed the sky
    And still I was nowhere at all
    Until that day, oh, you came to my senses
    And your smile it made sense out of it all

    I have seen the bluest skies
    Rainbows that would make you cry
    I have seen miracles that moved my soul
    Days that changed my life
    I have seen the brightest stars
    Shine like diamonds in the dark
    Seen all the wonders of the world
    But I've never seen a smile
    As beautiful as yours, ooh-ooh, yeah

    A smile so beautiful, so beautiful
    Come one time in a lifetime
    A smile this beautiful
    I never dreamed I'd ever see, ah, ah, ah

    I have seen the bluest skies
    Rainbows that would make you cry
    I have seen miracles that moved my soul
    Days that changed my life
    I have seen the brightest stars
    Shine like diamonds in the dark
    Seen all the wonders of the world
    But I've never seen a smile
    As beautiful as yours, ooh-ooh, yeah

    A smile before as beautiful
    As beautiful as yours

    A Smile And A Ribbon
    Composer(s): Mark McIntyre
    Performer(s): Patience and Prudence; Percy Faith



    A smile is something special
    A ribbon is something rare
    So I'll be special and I'll be rare
    With a smile and a ribbon in my hair

    To be a girl they notice
    Takes more than a fancy dress
    So I'll be noticed because I'll dress
    With a smile and a ribbon in my dresses

    The bigger my toothy grin is
    The smaller my troubles grow
    The louder I say I'm happy
    The more I believe it's so
    So I'll have that extra something
    Because I know what to wear

    So I'll be special and I'll be rare
    I'll be something beyond compare
    I'll be noticed because I'll wear
    A smile and a ribbon in my hair

    Waiting For Tonight Composer(s): Tom Petty Performer(s): Tom Petty



    I went walking down the Boulevard Past the skateboards and the beggars I was out looking in the windows Just out walking, letting my mind roam If she hung around too much I might take her for granted But when I was away, she seemed an angel The only one who really cared about me The only one without an angle For so long I've been lonely Now I'm too weak to fight I've been waiting for tonight I've been waiting for tonight (Good night my love, sleep tight my love) Yes and I had a little time to kill As I crossed the parking lot And I was feeling lucky to have a place to go Yeah my nerves were feeling shot For so long I've been weary There was no end in sight I've been waiting for tonight I've been waiting for tonight (Good night my love, sleep tight my love) Oh I've been waiting 'round For a night like this Yeah I felt it coming down Since her first kiss (Good night my love) Yeah and I'm wrestling with my overcoat Yeah I'm fighting with my thoughts I'm gonna trust my intuition I'm gonna hope I don't get lost For some time I've been lonely I've been too weak to fight I've been waiting for tonight I've been waiting for tonight (Good night my love, sleep tight my love)

    Way down on the levy in old Alabamy There's Daddy and Mammy There's Ephraim and Sammy On a moonlight night you can find them all While they are waiting, The banjos are syncopating What's that they're saying? What's that they're saying? While they keep playing A - humming and swaying It's the good ship Robert E. Lee that's come to carry the cotton away! Watch them shuffling along See them shuffling along! Go take your best gal, real pal Go down to the levy, I said to the levy and join that shuffling throng Hear that music and song! It's simply great, mate, waiting on the levy Waiting for the Robert E. Lee! The whistles are blowing, the smokestacks are showing the ropes they are throwing, excuse me I'm going to the place where all is harmonious even the preacher, he is the dancing teacher! Have you been down there? Were you around there? If you ever go there you'll always be found there why, dog-gone, here comes my baby on the good old Robert E. Lee! Watch them shuffling along See them shuffling along Go take your best gal, real pal Go down to the levy, I said to the levy And join that shuffling throng Hear that music and song! It's simply great, mate, waiting on the levy Waiting for the Robert E. Lee!

    A Small Cigar
    Composer(s): Ian Anderson
    Performer(s): Jethro Tull



    A small cigar can change the world
    I know, I've done it frequently at parties
    Where I've won all the guests' attention
    With my generosity and suave gentlemanly bearing
    A little flat tin case is all you need
    Breast-pocket conversation opener
    And one of those ciggie lighters that look rather good
    You can throw away when empty
    Must be declared a great success
    My small cigars all vanish within minutes

    Excuse me, mine host, that I may visit
    A nearby tobacconist
    To replenish my supply of small cigars
    And make the party swing again

    I know my clothes seem shabby
    And don't fit this Hampstead soiree
    Where unread copies of Rolling Stone
    Well-thumbed Playboys
    Decorate the hi-fi stereo record shelves
    If you ask me they're on their way
    To upper-middle-class oblivion
    The stupid twits, they roll their only
    One cigarette between them
    My small cigar's redundant now
    In the haze of smoking pleasure
    Call it a day
    Get the hell away
    Go down the cafe
    For a cup of real tea

    By the tube station, there's a drunk old fool
    Who sells papers in the rush hour
    I hand to him ten small cigars
    He smiles, says, ``Son, God bless you''

    A small cigar
    Has changed his world, my friend
    A small cigar
    Has changed the world again

    A small cigar . . .

    Well here I am, back in town Just as the night is comin' down Warm wind blowin' through the trees I watch them swing, I watch them sway Lie here waiting for the day Sleep won't come, I need a drink Stop my head, don't wanna think Wishing I could be with you But I know you're so far away And I'm here waiting for the day Water of life pour your light down on me Take me out of this darkness, sweet star of the sea Water so sweet you can open my eyes You can bring down the rain on this desert so dry Out on the street, shadows fall Silence speaks, I hear it call City of the living dead Count the lights on the motorway Lie here waiting for the day (alright) Water of life pour your light down on me Take me out of this darkness, sweet star of the sea Water so sweet you can open my eyes You can bring down the rain on this desert so dry Yes here I am, back in town Just as the night is comin' down Warm wind blowin' through the trees I watch them swing, I watch them sway Lie here waiting for the day (alright)

    A Slow Song
    ((German Version: Langsames Lied (by Ulla Meinecke) - 1991))
    Composer(s): Joe Jackson
    First release by: Joe Jackson - 1982



    Music has charms they say
    But in some people's hands
    It becomes a savage beast
    Can't they control it
    Why don't they hold it back

    You see my friend and me
    Don't have an easy day
    And at night we dance not fight
    And we need the energy
    If not the sympathy

    But I'm brutalized by bass
    And terrorized by treble
    I'm open to change my mood but
    I always get caught in the middle

    And I get tired of DJ's
    Why's it always what he plays
    I'm gonna push right through
    I'm gonna tell him too
    Tell him to
    Play us
    Play us a slow song

    It's late - I'm winding down
    Am I the only one
    To want a strong and silent sound
    To pick me up and undress me
    Lay me down and caress me

    I feel you touch my hand
    And whisper in my ear
    Ask me how I'm feeling now
    And I want to get near you
    But I can't even hear you

    But this is a fine romance
    If we have to be so demanding
    We need just one more dance to
    Leave here with an understanding

    And I get tired of DJ's
    Why's it always what he plays
    I'm gonna push right through
    I'm gonna tell him too
    Tell him to
    Play us
    Play us a slow song

    Waiting For My Real Life To Begin Composer(s): Colin Hay; Thom Mooney Performer(s): Colin Hay



    Any minute now, my ship is coming in I'll keep checking the horizon I'll stand on the bow, feel the waves come crashing Come crashing down down down, on me And you say, be still my love Open up your heart Let the light shine in But don't you understand I already have a plan I'm waiting for my real life to begin When I awoke today, suddenly nothing happened But in my dreams, I slew the dragon And down this beaten path, and up this cobbled lane I'm walking in my old footsteps, once again And you say, just be here now Forget about the past, your mask is wearing thin Let me throw one more dice I know that I can win I'm waiting for my real life to begin Any minute now, my ship is coming in I’ll keep checking the horizon And I'll check my machine, there's sure to be that call It's gonna happen soon, soon, soon It's just that times are lean And you say, be still my love Open up your heart, let the light shine in Don't you understand I already have a plan I'm waiting for my real life to begin

    and multiple other artists



    When you're in love
    And you are wondering
    If he really is the one
    There's an ancient sign sure to tell you
    If your search is over and done

    Catch a bee
    And if he don't sting you
    You're in a spell that's just begun
    It's a guarantee till the end of time
    Your true love you have won, have won

    When a bee lies sleeping
    In the palm of your hand
    You're bewitched
    And deep in love's long looked after land

    Where you'll see a sun up sky
    With a morning new
    And where the days go laughing by
    As love comes a-calling on you

    Sleep on bee don't waken
    Can't believe what just passed
    He's mine for the taking
    I am happy at last

    Maybe I dream, but he seems
    Sweet golden as a crown

    A sleepin' bee done told me
    I will walk with my feet off the ground
    When my one true love
    I has found

    Valentino's got a booky shop and what he takes He gives for what he's got And what he's got he says he has not Stolen from anyone It's not that he don't tell the truth Or even that he misspent his youth It's just that he holds the proof But you feel there's something's wrong Waiting for an alibi Waiting for an alibi Waiting for an alibi Waiting for an alibi Valentino's in a cold sweat, placed all his money on that last bet Against the odds he smokes another cigarette Says that it helps him to forget That he's a nervous wreck It's not that he misses much Or even that he's lost his lucky touch It's just that he gambles so much And you know that it's wrong Waiting for an alibi Waiting for an alibi Waiting just to catch your eye Waiting for an alibi Waiting for an alibi Try to say I told you I told you Waiting for an alibi Waiting just to get you Waiting for an alibi Waiting for an alibi To say I told you Waiting for an alibi Waiting for an alibi

    A Singer Must Die
    Composer(s): Leonard Cohen
    First release by: Leonard Cohen - 1974
    Covered by multiple other artists



    Now the courtroom is quiet, but who will confess
    Is it true you betrayed us?
    The answer is Yes
    Then read me the list of the crimes that are mine
    I will ask for the mercy that you love to decline
    And all the ladies go moist, and the judge has no choice
    A singer must die for the lie in his voice
    And I thank you, I thank you for doing your duty
    You keepers of truth, you guardians of beauty
    Your vision is right, my vision is wrong
    I'm sorry for smudging the air with my song

    Oh, the night it is thick, my defences are hid
    In the clothes of a woman I would like to forgive
    In the rings of her silk, in the hinge of her thighs
    Where I have to go begging in beauty's disguise
    Oh goodnight
    Goodnight, my night after night
    My night after night, after night, after night, after night, after night

    I am so afraid that I listen to you
    Your sun glassed protectors they do that to you
    It's their ways to detain, their ways to disgrace
    Their knee in your balls and their fist in your face
    Yes and long live the state by whoever it's made
    Sir, I didn't see nothing, I was just getting home late

    Waiting For A Train Composer(s): Jimmie Rodgers Performer(s): Jimmie Rodgers



    All around the water tank Waitin' for a train A thousand miles away from home Sleeping in the rain I walked up to a brakeman To give him a line of talk He says if you've got money I'll see that you don't walk I haven't got a nickle Not a penny can I show He said get off you railroad bum And slammed the boxcar door Oh la-ee, oh la-ee, oh la-ee Oh la-ee, oh la-ee, oh He put me off in Texas A place I surely love Wide open spaces 'round me The moon and stars above Nobody seems to want me Or lend me a helping hand I'm on my way from 'Frisco Goin' back to Dixieland My pocketbook is empty And my heart is filled with pain I'm a thousand miles away from home Just waiting for a train Oh la-ee, oh la-ee, oh la-ee Oh la-ee, oh la-ee, oh

    A Simple Thing Like Cry
    Composer(s): Nickolas Ashford - Valerie Simpson
    Performer(s): Diana Ross



    If it didn't hurt so bad
    If it didn't hurt so bad
    Maybe I could cry

    If I thought it was all a joke
    And you were putting me on
    If I could just make a wish
    And this moment would be all gone
    If I could see a trace of hope
    Somewhere in your eyes
    Maybe then I could do
    A simple thing like cry

    If it didn't hurt so bad
    If it didn't hurt so bad
    Maybe I could cry

    Don't you know I plan to spend
    Every moment of my life with you
    Now you're trying to tell me
    That my dreams just won't come true
    Thanks for giving me a million reasons why
    But it hurts too bad to do
    A simple thing like cry

    If I thought it was all a joke
    And you were putting me on
    If I could just make a wish
    And this moment would be all gone
    If I could see a trace of hope
    Somewhere in your eyes
    Maybe then I could do
    A simple thing like cry

    If it didn't hurt so bad
    If it didn't hurt me so bad
    Maybe I could
    If it didn't hurt so bad
    Maybe I could cry
    I could cry, cry
    If it didn't hurt me
    If I didn't love you
    Hurt me

    Waiting For A Star To Fall Composer(s): George Merrill; Shannon Rubicam Performer(s): Boy Meets Girl; and various other artists



    I hear your name whispered on the wind It's a sound that makes me cry I hear a song blow again and again Through my mind and I don't know why I wish I didn't feel so strong about you Like happiness and love revolve around you Trying to catch your heart Is like trying to catch a star So many people love you baby That must be what you are Waiting for a star to fall And carry your heart into my arms That's where you belong In my arms baby, yeah I've learned to feel what I cannot see But with you I lose that vision I don't know how to dream your dream So I'm all caught up in superstition I want to reach out and pull you to me Who says I should let a wild one go free Trying to catch your heart Is like trying to catch a star But I can't love you this much baby And love you from this far Waiting for a star to fall And carry your heart into my arms That's where you belong In my arms baby, yeah Waiting (however long...) I don't like waiting (I'll wait for you...) It's so hard waiting (don't be too long...) Seems like waiting (makes me love you even more...) Waiting for a star to fall And carry your heart into my arms That's where you belong In my arms baby, yeah
