Conscience Point Composer(s): Billy Squier Performer(s): Billy Squier
Freedom rider...though youve tried Words are not enough for you now... Its hard on your pride I cant find you...though I know you You are just a step out of line... Come closer to me
When the lines are drawn And no one comes to break us down And the walls that stood between us Tumble to the ground Its time to find someone to run to
Ive got a place in mind Its known as conscience point Its where the clouds roll by They say that nothin really matters Im goin out to find Why people come this way And put the past behind You know there really is a reason
Changing faces...trading places Nothing lasts anymore...its hard when you try Star-crossed lovers run for cover I dont know if its right...but I know how I feel
When youre tired of all those things You never said before And although youve tried you never opened that door Its time to find someone to run to
Well run the roads tonite Well meet at conscience point I look into your eyes You say that nothin really matters If I could change your mind If you would look my way And leave it all behind Youd know you really mean so much to me
When youve tired of all those things Youve never done before And you never took the time To fall in love before Youve got to find someone to...yea
Well run the roads tonite Well meet at conscience point Ill look into your eyes And know that somethin really matters cause we can change our minds And we can find our way And leave it all behind cause you really mean that much to me
Conscience point...take a walk with me And put it all behind Well make some history

And then he'd row, row, row Way up the river he would row, row, row A hug he'd give her Then he'd kiss her now and then She would tell him when, They'd fool around and fool around And then they'd kiss again. And then he'd row, row, row A little further he would go, oh, oh, oh Then he'd drop both his oars Take a few more encores And then he'd row, row, row
And then he'd row, row, row Way up the river he would row, row, row A hug he'd give her Then he'd kiss her now and then She would tell him when, They'd fool around and fool around And then they'd kiss again. And then he'd row, row, row A little further he would go, oh, oh, oh Then we'll drop both our oars Take a round of applause And then we'll go, go, go

Conquistador Composer(s): Gary Brooker - Keith Reid First release by: Procol Harum - 1967
Conquistador your stallion stands in need of company And like some angel's haloed brow You reek of purity I see your armor plated breast Has long since lost its sheen And in your death mask face There are no signs which can be seen
And though I hoped for something to find I could see no place to unwind
Conquistador a vulture sits, upon your silver sheath And in your rusty scabbard now, the sand has taken seed And though your jewel-encrusted blade Has not been plundered still The sea has washed across your face And taken of its fill
And though I hoped for something to find I could see no place to unwind
Conquistador there is no time, I must pay my respect And though I came to jeer at you I leave now with regret And as the gloom begins to fall I see there is no, only all Though you came with sword held high You did not conquer, only die
And though I hoped for something to find I could see no place to unwind
And though I hoped for something to find I could see no place to unwind

There He Goes Composer(s): Eddie Miller - Durwood Haddock - W.S. Stevenson Performer(s): Patsy Cline
There he goes, he's walkin' away Each step he takes brings heartaches my way She won his heart, I lost him someway There he goes, he's walkin' away
If I hadn't cheated and I hadn't lied I'd be the one, walkin' by his side I love him still and I guess that it shows He's walkin' away, there he goes
Oh, if I hadn't cheated and I hadn't lied I'd be the one walkin' by his side I love him still and I guess that is shows He's walkin' away, there he goes
Roundabout Composer(s): Jon Anderson; Steve Howe Performer(s): Yes
I'll be the roundabout The words will make you out 'n' out And change the day your way Call it morning driving thru the sound and in and out the valley
The music dance and sing They make the children really ring I'll spend the day your way Call it morning driving thru the sound and in and out the valley
In and around the lake Mountains come out of the sky and they stand there One mile over we'll be there and we'll see you Ten true summers we'll be there and laughing too Twenty four before my love you'll see I'll be there with you
I will remember you Your silhouette will charge the view Of distance atmosphere Call it morning driving thru the sound and even in the valley
In and around the lake Mountains come out of the sky and they stand there One mile over we'll be there and we'll see you Ten true summers we'll be there and laughing too Twenty four before my love you'll see I'll be there with you
Along the drifting cloud the eagle searching down on the land Catching the swirling wind the sailor sees the rim of the land The eagles dancing wings create as weather spins out of hand Go closer hold the land feel partly no more than grains of sand We stand to lose all time a thousand answers by in our hand Next to your deeper fears we stand Surrounded by a millions years
I'll be the round about The words will make you out 'n' out I'll be the round about The words will make you out 'n' out
I'll be the round about The words will make you out 'n' out And change the day your way Call it morning driving thru the sound and in and out the valley
In and around the lake Mountains come out of the sky and they stand there One mile over we'll be there and we'll see you Ten true summers we'll be there and laughing too Twenty four before my love you'll see I'll be there with you
I felt the warmnest of your breath It's hard to tell, is it now or then... Our past our life so far apart never to question never to ask why...
There has never been a lover ever to satisfy my warmest desire... until you came along from where, I don't know...
When sunlight shines on your face my heart race to the other place... where we met so long ago... Hold my hands promises to never let me go... To sickness and in health...
There has never been a lover ever to satisfy my warmest desire... until you came along from where, I don't know...
There has never been a lover ever to satisfy my warmest desire... Baby, Baby until you came along and sealed my faith...
Father I ask of you to make it last just long enough until I can feel That lift you once blessed us with once before.. My true love have looked me in the eyes again for this last time...
There has never been a lover ever to satisfy my warmest desire... until you came along from where, I don't know...
There has never been a lover ever to satisfy my warmest desire... until you came along from where, I don't know...
The pleasure I feel from this lover that has never been.. A lover ever, a lover ever to love me like you yes you baby to satisfy my warmest desire until you came along and sealed my faith...
Conjured Composer(s): Denise Craig; William Robert Emerson Performer(s): Wynonie Harris
You said it was love made me stutter when I talk But is it love that makes me stagger when I walk?
The Gypsy woman told me "She's got you conjured, son" Well, somebody's lyin' -- you are that Gypsy one
You said I was jealous when I didn't go to work You sprinkled my shoes with graveyard dirt
The Gypsy woman told me "She's got you conjured, son" Well, somebody's lyin' -- you are that Gypsy one
The whiskey you bought me, I was afraid to unscrew it The Gypsy woman told me it was embalming fluid You got a Black Cat Bone and a Buzzard Feather A John the Conquer Root and they're all tied together
The Gypsy woman told me "She's got you conjured, son" Well, somebody's lyin' -- you are that Gypsy one
The whiskey you bought me, I was afraid to unscrew it The Gypsy woman told me it was embalming fluid You got a Black Cat Bone and a Buzzard Feather A John the Conquer Root and they're all tied together

'Round Midnight Composer(s): Bernie Hanighen; Thelonious Monk; Cootie Williams Performer(s): Julie London; and various other artists
It begins to tell 'round midnight, midnight I do pretty well, till after sundown Suppertime I'm feelin' sad But it really gets bad 'round midnight
Memories always start 'round midnight Haven't got the heart to stand those memories When my heart is still with you And ol' midnight knows it, too When a quarrel we had needs mending Does it mean that our love is ending Darlin' I need you, lately I find You're out of my heart And I'm out of my mind
Let our hearts take wings' 'round midnight, midnight Let the angels sing for your returning Till our love is safe and sound And old midnight comes around Feelin' sad really gets bad Round, Round, Round Midnight
