Mr. Moon Composer(s): Hugh Nicholson Performer(s): Blue
Last night Mr. Moon came calling He laid his silver just as sun was falling Sprinkled sparkling stardust in the sky So I pulled up close to the riverside Picked some sticks for firelight And sat and watched the sparks flying high
Oh, and it made me feel good Just to watch the burning wood As I sat and looked at my reflection Well I know I'm not so trouble free But on that night, I had to be The stars they commanded me to smile
Oh, and it made me feel good Just to watch the burning wood As I sat and looked on my reflection Well I maybe right and I maybe wrong But I got music for a little song When I gazed upon the magic moonlight night
Glory Glory Composer(s): Eddie Brigati; Felix Cavaliere Performer(s): The Rascals
I saw a child He was carrying a light I asked where it came from He blew it right out His eyes looked into me His voice was a song He said tell me tell me do you Know where it's gone
(Chorus) Glory, Glory My eyes have seen the mountain My soul can sing the song Glory, Glory Singing Hallelujah The truth is marching on
Every morn' the sun lights us all The trees ask for nothing They just let their fruit fall Fire's the same no matter What the source The flame of life burns on It's never, never lost

Mr. Monday Composer(s): Dennis Lambert; Brian Potter
He gets up at eight oclock On cold clear winter days He eats his food at half past eight And clears the pots away He drives his car in the city streets And he meets along the way A lot of tall dark people Who stand there all the day Hes Mister Monday He works all day from nine to five Hes Mister Monday He lives alone in the city I see him in the evening I pass him at the door I say, Hello, how are you? And I know hes very poor He looks at the street through his window He watches the people pass by He loves little dogs and children And he never tells a lie Hes Mister Monday ...

We live forever knowing together That we did it all for the glory of love

Talking World War III Blues Composer(s): Bob Dylan Performer(s): Bob Dylan
Some time ago a crazy dream came to me I dreamt I was walkin' into World War Three I went to the doctor the very next day To see what kinda words he could say He said it was a bad dream I wouldn't worry 'bout it none, though They were my own dreams and they're only in my head
I said "Hold it, Doc, a World War passed through my brain" He said "Nurse, get your pad, this boy's insane" He grabbed my arm, I said "Ouch!" As I landed on the psychiatric couch He said "Tell me about it"
Well, the whole thing started at 3 o'clock fast It was all over by quarter past I was down in the sewer with some little lover When I peeked out from a manhole cover Wondering who turned the lights on
Well, I got up and walked around And up and down the lonesome town I stood a-wondering which way to go I lit a cigarette on a parking meter And walked on down the road It was a normal day
Well, I rung the fallout shelter bell And I leaned my head and I gave a yell "Give me a string bean, I'm a hungry man" A shotgun fired and away I ran I don't blame them too much though I know I look funny
Down at the corner by a hot-dog stand I seen a man, I said, "Howdy friend I guess there's just us two" He screamed a bit and away he flew Thought I was a Communist
Well, I spied a girl and before she could leave "Let's go and play Adam and Eve" I took her by the hand and my heart it was thumpin' When she said, "Hey man, you crazy or sumpin' You see what happened last time they started"
Well, I seen a Cadillac window uptown And there was nobody aroun' I got into the driver's seat And I drove 42nd Street In my Cadillac Good car to drive after a war
Well, I remember seein' some ad So I turned on my Conelrad But I didn't pay my Con Ed bill So the radio didn't work so well Turned on my player It was Rock-A-Day, Johnny singin' "Tell Your Ma, Tell Your Pa Our Loves Are Gonna Grow Ooh-wah, Ooh-wah"
I was feelin' kinda lonesome and blue I needed somebody to talk to So I called up the operator of time Just to hear a voice of some kind "When you hear the beep It will be three o'clock" She said that for over an hour And I hung it up
Well, the doctor interrupted me just about then Sayin, "Hey I've been havin' the same old dreams But mine was a little different you see I dreamt that the only person left after the war was me I didn't see you around"
Well, now time passed and now it seems Everybody's having them dreams Everybody sees themselves walkin' around with no one else Half of the people can be part right all of the time Some of the people can be all right part of the time But all the people can't be all right all the time I think Abraham Lincoln said that "I'll let you be in my dreams if I can be in yours" I said that

Talking In Your Sleep Composer(s): Bobby Wood - Roger Cook First release by: Crystal Gayle - 1978 Covered by multiple other artists
Three o'clock in the morning And it looks like it's gonna be another sleepless night I've been listenin' to your dreams and gettin' very low Wondering what I can do
Maybe I'm being foolish 'Cause I haven't heard you mention anybody's name at all How I wish I could be sure it's me that turns you on Each time you close your eyes I've heard it said that dreamers never lie
You've been talkin' in your sleep Sleepin' in your dreams Wish some sweet lover Holdin' on so tight loving her the way You used to love me Talkin' in your sleep with lovin' on your mind
Gloria manchi tu nell'aria manchi ad una mano che lavora piano manchi a questa bocca che cibo piu non tocca e sempre questa storia che lei la chiamo Gloria Gloria sui tuoi fianchi la mattina nasce il sole entra odio ed esce amore dal nome Gloria Gloria manchi tu nell'aria manchi come il sale mi manchi piu del sole sciogli questa neve che soffoca il mio petto t'aspetto Gloria Gloria chiesa di campagna acqua nel deserto lascio aperto il cuore scappa senza far rumore dal lavore dal tuo letto dai gradini di un altare ti aspetto Gloria Gloria per chi attende il giorno e invece di dormire con la memoria torna a un tuffo nei papaveri in una terra libera per chi respira nebbia per chi respira rabbia per me che senza Gloria con te nuda sul divano faccio stelle di cartone pensando a Gloria
Talking Guitar Blues Composer(s): Ernest Tubb Performer(s): Lonnie Donegan
Ere, if you wanna get in trouble Let me tell you how to do it Get yourself a guitar and then youre right into it You play all day and you play all night People say youll never learn to play the thing right Always messing about, groaning at you Moaning, wont let you practise
So I bought meself a guitar about a year ago The man said I could learn it in a week or so Gave me a little book, pick or two Said here yare mate, its up to you Dirty rotter, cost me ten nicker, all the loot I had Good guitar, though call it a pluckit
Anyway, spent me dough And I couldnt let it all go to waste, you know So I took the book, guitar, and all And I went back home where the trees are tall Down in Woodford - good place to be if youve got a guitar Pretty rotten if you aint
Well, for weeks and weeks I worked hard And I tried to learn a few main chords Book says theyre easy as ABC Cor, my fingers is killing me Got sore on the ends Couldnt hold the strings down Wanted to pack up, cor, I felt rough
Anyway, kept on playing with all me might I could see mums hair was turning white And her face was lined with discontent She said her patience was pretty near spent She was nervous, ears ringing, wanted to scream You know, couldnt get no relief
So sister, anyway, she took it worst of all Cause she got married the following fall She said for love but I got me doubts I think the guitar chased her out Shes a game girl, though Just couldnt take it, you know Limit to everything
Dad, he took it a different way He said, you can turn your mums hair grey Drive your sister away from home But you or me boys gonna start to roam And I aint going - never intend to You figure it out so I did, fast, you know
Anyway, next day had me clothes all packed And I slung me guitar across me back Caught meself a great long train Searched the world for me share of fame Aint found none - just hardships, messing about
