Venus must have heard my plea She has sent someone along for me

We meet every night at eight And I don't get home till late I say to myself each day Baby, oh long, long live love Long, long live love
In The Baggage Coach Ahead Composer(s): Gussie L. Davis; Stephen Dankner
On a dark stormy night as the train rattled on all the passengers had gone to bed Except one young man with a babe in his arms who sat there with a bowed down head
The innocent one began crying just then as though its poor heart would break
One angry man said "Make that child stop its noise for it's keeping all of us awake"
"Put it out" said another "don't keep it in here we've paid for our berths and want rest"
But never a word said the man with the child as he fondled it close to his breast
"Where is it's mother go take it to her" this a lady then softly said
"I wish that I could" was the man's sad reply "but she's dead in the coach ahead"
While the train rolled onward a husband sat in tears thinking of the happiness of just a few short years
For baby's face brings pictures of a cherished hope that's dead
But baby's cries can't waken her in the baggage coach ahead
Every eye filled with tears when his story he told of a wife who was faithful and true
He told how he'd saved all his earnings for years just to build up a home for two
How when heaven had sent them this sweet little babe their young happy lives were blessed
His heart seemed to break when he mentioned her name and in tears tried to tell them the rest
Every woman arose to assist with the child There were mothers and wives on that train
And soon was the little one sleeping in peace with no thought of sorrow or pain
Next morn' at a station he bade all "Goodbye" "God Bless You" he softly said
Each one had a story to tell in their home of the baggage coach ahead
While the train rolled onward a husband sat in tears thinking of the happiness of just a few short years for baby's face brings pictures of a cherished hope that's dead
But, baby's cries can't waken her in the baggage coach ahead

Long Gone Composer(s): Burton Cummings - Domenic Troiano Performer(s): The Guess Who
Who in the Hell are you to criticize Every day and every night youre just a drag Youve been long gone, long gone ...
You are working from a point of depression Isnt it amazing when you find youre slipping Youve been long gone, long gone ...
I guess youve always been a power-hungry specimen You were raised with rank in mind Id gladly give away everything Ive ever owned For the chance to stab you from behind Cause Im tired of what youre saying Its not worth the paper its printed on It just doesnt cut it anymore
Each time the sun greets the new dawning Ill try to kick you while youre down Welcome to the Kingdom of Hatred Youll find out soon that I wear the crown Im tired of what you been sayin Its not worth the time to discuss it You just dont cut it anymore
Who in the Hell are you to criticize Youre still learning how to form an opinion Youve been long gone, long gone ...

Well, if you told me you were drowning I would not lend a hand I've seen your face before my friend But I don't know if you know who I am Well, I was there and I saw what you did I saw it with my own two eyes So you can wipe off the grin, I know where you've been It's all been a pack of lies

And I can feel it coming in the air tonight, Oh Lord...
