Living Together, Growing Together Composer(s): Burt Bacharach - Hal David Performer(s): The 5th Dimension and multiple other artists
Start with a man and you have one Add on a woman and then you have two Add on a child and what have you got? You've got more than three You've got what they call a family
Living Together, Growing Together, just being together That's how it starts Three loving hearts all Pulling together, working together, just building together That makes you strong If things go wrong we'll still get along somehow Living and growing together
It just takes wood to build a house Fill it with people and you have a home Fill it with love and people take root It's just like a tree Where each branch becomes a family that's Living Together, Growing Together, just being together That's how it starts Three loving hearts all Pulling together, working together, just building together That makes you strong If things go wrong we'll still get along somehow Living and growing together
Living Together, Growing Together, just being together That's how it starts Three loving hearts all Pulling together, working together, just building together That makes you strong If things go wrong we'll still get along somehow Living and growing Just like we're doing now, together
Moonlighting Composer(s): Frank Farrell; Leo Sayer Performer(s): Leo Sayer
He sees her at the same time every night At the Mexican discotheque She gives him French kisses He gives her French cigarettes They sit at the same table every time The lights are low, but their eyes shine Just digging the music from those sweet soul bands She keeps him outta fights, holds on to his hand He whispers slowly "Tonights the night" Months of planning so its gotta be right Under the table her bag is bursting at the seams She made sure to bring everything
Moonlighting Theyre leaving everything Moonlighting Theyre losing all their friends Moonlighting Its the only way Its frightening But it means theyll stay Together Theyre gonna make it together
His blue Morris van is parked in an alley Just by Montague Street His friend Eddie he did the re-spray So he couldnt drive it all last week And it cost most of the money that he had saved up To pay Eddies receipt But he figures its worth it cos the disguise is a must When they go missing theyre gonna look for the van first She whispers slowly "Itll be alright I took some cash from my building society And my monthly cheque came in just right" If only they knew they were giving it away
Moonlighting Theyre leaving everything Moonlighting Theyre losing all their friends Moonlighting Its the only way Its frightening But it means theyll stay Together Theyre gonna make it together
9:15 Monday morning at the printing works The boss notices someones not clocked in And the water department of the council offices has a message That Mrs. Parks daughter is missing Meanwhile, the Carlisle turn-off of the M6 Motorway Drinking cold black coffee, eating hot cup-cakes She stares at him with his beard unshaved Wonders at his powers of staying awake He whispers slowly "You did just fine" They shared the driving all through the night She laughs "My mother will have lost her mind Were only ten miles to Gretna, theyre three hundred behind"
Moonlighting Theyre leaving everything Moonlighting Theyre losing all their friends Moonlighting Its the only way Its frightening But it means theyll stay Together Theyre gonna make it together Moonlighting Theyre leaving everything Moonlighting Theyre losing all their friends Moonlighting Its the only way Its frightening But it means theyll stay Together Theyre gonna make it together
Living Together (In Sin) Composer(s): J. Cobb - Van McCoy Performer(s): The Whispers
Your folks and mine want to disown us We're two sinners, they say They don't approve of how we're livin' But we're happy this way
They say we're living together in sin 'Cause we're not married Living together in sin But both of us are grown And love is ours to choose To each his own, we're in love
All of our friends never invite us And they don't come around But that's alright, we have each other The world, they put us down
And say we're living together in sin 'Cause we're not married Living together in sin But both of us are grown And love is ours to choose To each his own, we're in love
They say we're living together in sin They don't understand You're my woman and I'm you're man You and me against the world I'm you're man and you're my girl
If loving you is a sin Then I'm gonna sin again and again and again and again Mom and Dad, can't you see That we love each other, why can't it be?
For you, I'd turn my back on family and friends For you, I'd do it again and again and again, and again, and again and again, and again, and again ...
Why does love have to? Where does it go to Outta my door? How much have you got? Is it enough for me Or will I want more?
Oh,oh, you tell me you just want some fun Oh, oh, I'm trapped between the fire and the man with the gun
Time in a vacuum Waiting for someone to say what they think But all that pretending doesn't convince me 'cause they just want to buy me a drink
Oh, oh, you tell me you want to be free Oh, oh, baby, I'm trapped between the devil and the deep blue sea
It's night in the city I'm filled with self-pity I'm taking the air If somebody hits me Here in this city I swear I just don't care Oh, oh, just looking for proof Oh, oh, I'm trapped like a cat on a hot tin roof Oh, oh, just looking for proof Oh, oh, O'm trapped like a cat on a hot tin roof
I got to have proof I got to have proof I got to have proof I got to have proof (repeat)
Moonlight Swim Composer(s): Sylvia Dee; Ben Weisman Performer(s): Anthony Perkins; Elvis Presley
Lets go on a moonlight swim Far away from the crowd, all alone upon the beach Our lips and our arms close, within each others reach Well be on a moonlight swim
Lets go on a moonlight swim To the raft we can race in just a little while Or sit and pretend that youre on a desert isle with me On a moonlight swim
Though the air is filled with kisses, oh so sweet Ill keep you warm, so very warm From head to feet
Lets go on a moonlight swim Were in love and the thought theres a crazy old balloon That sits winkin down and invitin us to come on in On a moonlight swim
Though the air is filled with kisses, oh so sweet Ill keep you warm, so very warm From head to feet
Living On The Island Composer(s): Chris de Burgh Performer(s): Chris de Burgh
Day by day they drink and dream Old men staring out to sea From the island, living on the island
And down in the harbour, it's a show Watching all the people as they come and go On the island, living on the island
And up in the mountains, they're alright Tasting the first of the summer wine On the island, living on the island
I wanna feel that sunshine in my heart And let it blow my worries away I wanna spend a night in the ocean with her
That little lady lover who's in love with me Prettiest little lady that I've ever seen On the island, living on the island ...
Ooh, and when I finally sail away I know for sure I'll be back someday On the island, living on the island On the island, living on the island I wanna feel that sunshine on my back On the island, living on the island On the island, we'll be living on the island I wanna feel that wind blow in my hair Living on the island ...
Moonlight Shadow Composer(s): Mike Oldfield Originally performed by: Mike Oldfield
The last that ever she saw him Carried away by a moonlight shadow He passed on worried and warning Carried away by a moonlight shadow Lost in a riddle that Saturday night Far away on the other side He was caught in the middle of a desperate fight And she couldn't find how to push through
The trees that whisper in the evening Carried away by a moonlight shadow Sing a song of sorrow and grieving Carried away by a moonlight shadow All she saw was a silhouette of a gun Far away on the other side He was shot six times by a man on the run And she couldn't find how to push through
I stay, I pray See you in heaven far away I stay, I pray See you in heaven one day
Four a.m. in the morning Carried away by a moonlight shadow I watched your vision forming Carried away by a moonlight shadow Stars roll slowly in a silvery night Far away on the other side Will you come to terms with me this night But she couldn't find how to push through
I stay, I pray See you in heaven far away I stay, I pray See you in heaven one day
Caught in the middle of a hundred and five The night was heavy and the air was alive But she couldn't find how to push through
Living On The Highway Composer(s): Gordon Russell - Don Nix Performer(s): Freddie King and multiple other artists
It was twenty years ago, I was about fourteen years old When I first heard that Wolfman's howl He sneaked me through the door, there was whisky on the floor And the fuzz they were on the prowl It seems so long ago I'm living on the Highway now
He's a giant of a man, He always understands The very best notes to use His hand make two of mine, his heart beat right on time He taught me how to sing the blues He's the reason why I choose to live on the highway now
I played the blues with Walter, and Muddy pulled me through I know a Jimmy Rogers song or two But there's one thing I know, no matter where I go I can do a little howling too That's why I sing these blues, I'm living on the highway now
The years have come and gone but the blues still go on I only sing my songs for fun If you ask me to, I'll do a song for you 'Cause the women like to see me come Me and my guitar, my band, we're living on the highway now
Moonlight Serenade French Title: Dansez Maintenant Performer(s): Glenn Miller; Mitchell Parish Originally performed by: Glenn Miller Covered by various other artists
I stand at your gate and the song that I sing is of moonlight I stand and I wait for the touch of your hand in the June night The roses are sighing a Moonlight Serenade
The stars are aglow and tonight how their light sets me dreaming My love, do you know that your eyes are like stars brightly beaming? I bring you and I sing you a Moonlight Serenade
Let us stray till break of day in love's valley of dreams Just you and I, a summer sky a heavenly breeze kissin' the trees
So don't let me wait come to me tenderly in the June night I stand at your gate and I sing you a song in the moonlight A love song, my darling a Moonlight Serenade
Living On My Own Composer(s): Freddie Mercury Performer(s): Freddie Mercury
Sometimes I feel I'm gonna break down and cry (so lonely) nowhere to go nothing to do with my time I get lonely so lonely living on my own Sometimes I feel I'm always walking too fast and everything is coming down on me donwn on me I go crazy oh so crazy living on my own

sometimes I feel nobody gives me no warning find my head is always up in the clouds in a dream world It's not easy living on my own
Overhead, the moon is beaming White as blossoms on the bough Nothing is heard but the song of a bird filling all the air with dreaming Would my heart but still it's beating Only you can tell it how, beloved From your window give me greeting Hear my eternal vow
Soft in the trees lies the echo of my longing while all around you my dreams of rapture throng My soul, my joy, my hope, my fear Your heart must tell you that I am near List from above while I pour out my love For you know through my life you are love'd Oh, hear my longing cry, oh, love me or I die!
Overhead, the moon is beaming White as blossoms on the bough Nothing is heard but the song of a bird filling all the air with dreaming Would my heart but still it's beating Only you can tell it how, beloved From your window give me greeting I swear my eternal love

Versions In Other Languages: 1977 - La Porte D'en Face (by Sacha Distel) 1977 - Alice (by Flemming Bamse Jørgensen)
Sally called, when she got the word She said 'I suppose you've heard about Alice' So, I rushed to the window, and I looked outside And I could hardly believe my eyes A big limousine pulled slowly into Alice's drive
I don't why why she's leaving, or where she's gonna go I guess she's got her reasons but I just don't wanna know 'Cause for twenty four years I've been living next door to Alice Twenty four years, just waitin' for a chance To tell her how I'm feeling, maybe get a second glance Now I've gotta get used to not living next door to Alice
We grew up together, two kids in the park Carved our initials deep in the bark ... Me and Alice Now she walks to the door with her head held high And just for a moment, I caught her eye As the big limousine pulled slowly out of Alice's drive
I don't why why she's leaving, or where she's gonna go I guess she's got her reasons but I just don't wanna know 'Cause for twenty four years I've been living next door to Alice Twenty four years, just waitin' for a chance To tell her how I'm feeling, maybe get a second glance Now I've gotta get used to not living next door to Alice
Then Sally called back, and asked how I felt She said 'I know how to help get over Alice' She said 'Now, Alice is gone, but I'm still here And you know I've been waiting twenty four years ...' And the big limousine disappeared ...
I don't why why she's leaving, or where she's gonna go I guess she's got her reasons but I just don't wanna know 'Cause for twenty four years I've been living next door to Alice Twenty four years, just waitin' for a chance To tell her how I feel and maybe get a second glance But I'll never get used to not living next door to Alice
No, I'll never get used to not living next door to Alice ...

Moonlight In Vermont Composer(s): John Blackburn; Karl Suessdorf Originally performed by: Billy Butterfield & His Orch. Covered by various other artists
Pennies in a stream Falling leaves a sycamore Moonlight in Vermont
Gentle finger waves Ski trails down a mountain side Snowlight in Vermont
Telegraph cables, how they sing down the highway As they travel each bend in the road And when people meet, in this romantic setting They're so hypnotized be the lovely...
Evening summer breeze Sweet warblings of the meadowlark Moonlight in Vermont

Moonlight In Samosa Composer(s): Robbie Blunt; Robert Plant Performer(s): Robert Plant
Time and again I see you walking down the street Over and over, just like before Once in a while you stop and say hello to me Just like you used to do before Time and again, it's like we were in love and then Over and over - nobody keeping score Once in a while I think you notice when I smile That love still lingers in my eyes
It can't go wrong, it can't go wrong It lingers on, it lingers on
Day after day I turn it over in my mind Dream after dream it's hard to tell you how I find Out of the blue I'm suddenly so close to you Despite the years that I've been gone Will you stop - will you wait a minute - please remember Can you stop - can you just give me one minute to explain I will not cause a fuss, I will not rock the boat - believe me darling Oh what is, what was, it's all the same
Living In The Plastic Age Composer(s): Geoffrey Downes - T. Horn Performer(s): Buggles
Every day my metal friend Shakes my bed at 6am Then the shiny serving clones Run in with my telephones
Talking fast I make a deal Buy the fake and sell what's real What's this pain here in my chest? Maybe I should take a rest
They send the heart police to put you under Cardiac arrest and as they drag you the door They tell you that you've failed the test
Living in the ... Living in the plastic age Looking only half my age Hello doctor lift my face
I wish my skin could stand the pace In the bed I read my mind Remember how the mice were blind I watch them fighting in their cage Could this be the plastic age?
They send the heart police to put you under cardiac arrest and as they drag you the door they tell you that you've failed the test
Living in the Plastic age Plastic age Plastic age
They send the heart police to put you under Cardiac arrest and as they drag you the door They tell you that you've failed the test
Moonlight Gambler Composer(s): Bob Hilliard; Phil Springer Originally performed by: Frankie Laine
You can gamble for match sticks, you can gamble for gold The stakes may be heavy or small But if you haven't gambled for love and lost you haven't gambled at all
They call me a moonlight gambler I've gambled for love and lost When I gamble for love and it isn't in the cards Oh, what heartaches it can cost me
Win or lose, I'm a moonlight gambler And a winner is what I long to be So I'll gamble for love just as long as I live Till the day Lady Luck smiles at me
You can gamble for match sticks You can gamble for gold The stakes may be heavy or small But if you haven't gambled for love and lost Then you haven't gambled at all
No, if you haven't gambled for love in the moonlight Then you haven't gambled at all
So I'll gamble for love just as long as I live Till the day Lady Luck smiles at me
They call me the moonlight gambler They call me the moonlight gambler
