Lovers In A Dangerous Time Composer(s): Bruce Cockburn First release by: Bruce Cockburn - 1984 Covered by multiple other artists
Don't the hours grow shorter as the days go by You never get to stop and open your eyes One day you're waiting for the sky to fall The next you're dazzled by the beauty of it all When you're lovers in a dangerous time Lovers in a dangerous time
These fragile bodies of touch and taste This vibrant skin -- this hair like lace Spirits open to the thrust of grace Never a breath you can afford to waste When you're lovers in a dangerous time Lovers in a dangerous time
When you're lovers in a dangerous time Sometimes you're made to feel as if your love's a crime But nothing worth having comes without some kind of fight Got to kick at the darkness 'til it bleeds daylight When you're lovers in a dangerous time Lovers in a dangerous time And we're lovers in a dangerous time Lovers in a dangerous time
Lover's Cross Composer(s): Jim Croce First release by: Jim Croce - 1973
Guess that it was bound to happen Was just a matter of time But now I've come to my decision And it's a-one of the painful kind 'Cause now it seems that you wanted a martyr Just a regular guy wouldn't do But baby I can't hang upon no lover's cross for you
You really got to hand it to ya 'Cause girl you really tried But for every time that we spent laughin' There were two times that I cried And you were tryin' to make me your martyr And that's the one thing I just couldn't do 'Cause baby, I can't hang upon no lover's cross for you
'Cause tables are meant for turnin' And people are bound to change And bridges are meant for burnin' When the people and memories they join aren't the same
Still I hope that you can find Another who can take what I could not He'll have to be a super guy Or maybe a super god 'Cause I never was much of a martyr before And I ain't bout to start nothin' new And baby, I can't hang upon no lover's cross for you

Lover Boy Composer(s): Rick Davies - Roger Hodgson Performer(s): Supertramp
I'll tell you from the start He's gonna break your heart You can't stop the lover boy You can't stop the lover boy
He's gonna tell you lies But you won't realize Because you can't stop the lover boy You can't stop the lover boy
He's got a thing in his head It's from a book he's read It's got a funny title, It tells you how to be vital He took a lot of time Over every line Because it's guaranteed To satisfy
He's gonna knock 'em dead The boy's got that book read You can't stop the lover boy You can't stop the lover boy
Right from the clothes he wears The way he combs his hair You can't stop him now, because he knows all the tricks He used to have a problem but he got it fixed He took a small apartment Above a shoe department And he could see from his window All the lights in the street glow There's a club on the corner And tonight he will go there To find a new affair So all you ladies beware
He's got to have a good time in the city He's got to have a good time every night He's gonna love 'em and leave 'em, cheat and deceive 'em He's gonna show 'em who's wrong and who's right

When your shoelace breaks And your toothache aches And you need a few more bucks Dont you pout, just sing out Heavenly weather for what could be better for Lovely weather for ducks
Though all your cares seem double Theres good in every bad So sneer at Old Man Trouble And hell go away mad
When your shoelace breaks And your toothache aches And you need a few more bucks Dont you pout, just sing out Heavenly weather for what could be better for Lovely weather for ducks

You're lovely to look at It's thrilling to hold you terribly tight For we're together, the moon is new And oh, it's lovely to look at you tonight!

Little Pony Composer(s): Jon Hendricks - Neal Hefti Performer(s): The Pointer Sisters and multiple other artists
I said hurry up, dig a little pony I know Say that so I said hurry up, dig a little pony, we'll blow Ride, ride, ride
He's blowin' pretty, what a musical treat Say that so Look at him, blowin' steady, what a wonderful beat Ride, ride, ride
Hurry up, hurry up Do me the ditty up Hurry up, hurry up Go wake the city up Hurry up, hurry up Once more I wanna repeat
People pass word He's the last word That's the mass word They don't dig 'til he's big, then they wig
Wanna say a lot about a little pony Wanna celebrate the night the pony booted up the big beat And by the time he got to cookin' everybody started lookin'
Well I can't stop telling about what he was doin' To blow as though his heart was in it every minute Singin' a pretty kind of sound, really givin' every pound Neve acting like the greatest cat around
Every body dug him and he had 'em really drinking Like the did a lot of swiggin' from a gallon jug And then he cooled a while, sentimental style
Later on a little while he had 'em swinging, stompin' the floor Little pony went a ridin', illustratin' what a horn was for Had 'em comin' back for more, when they added up the score It was joy galore!
Been down east, did up the west Come to find, this little pony's the best Blow your horn, do up the sound Sing your song, you're really puttin' it down
Well, a little bit of listenin' with a passable ear We'll get an awful lot of messages anywhere
Ride, pony ride, Be my wailing guide Keep on singin', I dig, you're bringin' the word Go pony, go, put me in the know Dig me wiggin', that way, you're diggin' I heard
If anybody ever made it out to the coast They can tell ya what I'm talkin' about Little pony wailin' on the alto saxophone Holler giddyup and gallop
Ball, pony, ball, don't be slow at all Don't bashful, be like you're blowing for me
Gotta get along speedily Got to get along, and do the coda It's really the end, you see Well thanks a lot, but pretty baby I must quit this scene If you know what I mean
Don't be quittin', just when you're hittin' the peak Get a record that'll play all week Could be good bebop, could be!

The joys of love The joys of love Are but a moment strong The pain of love endures A whole life long
His eyes kissed mine I saw the love in them shine A rainbow brightened my window Such love divine
And now he's gone Like a dream that melts with the dawn His memory stays locked in my heartstrings He was ne'er mine
Little Queen Composer(s): Ann Wilson - Howard Leese - Michael DeRosier - Nancy Wilson - Roger Fisher -Steve Fossen Performer(s): Heart
You'd rather have wine than gin Only the finest by your skin Always running after Time - catching You're fancy with rhyme Shining on the front page again
Hot on the presses today - little queen Making your passion play - little queen Nobody knows your melancholy mind Little queen
Away from the sellers, the papers said Your crown was tight and heavy on your head Still you danced and you sang - all night The telephone rang Music kept on playing from your pen
Hot on the presses today - little queen Making your passion play - little queen Nobody knows your melancholy mind Little queen
Raining Raining- he knows your Soul ain't free Raining Raining- he feels you little queen
Slipping away with your gypsy band Hot on your music and playing a winning hand He was standing in the line, thinking how you Moved his mind Feeling like he held you in his hand
