I.G.Y.
I.G.Y.
Composer(s): Donald Jay Fagen
First release by: Donald Fagen - 1982
Covered by multiple other artists
Standing tough under stars and stripes
We can tell
This dream's in sight
You've got to admit it
At this point in time that it's clear
The future looks bright
On that train all graphite and glitter
Undersea by rail
Ninety minutes from New York to Paris
Well by seventy-six we'll be A.O.K
What a beautiful world this will be
What a glorious time to be free
Get your ticket to that wheel in Space
While there's time
The fix is in
You'll be a witness to that game of chance in the sky
You know we've got to win
Here at home we'll play in the city
Powered by the sun
Perfect weather for a streamlined world
There'll be spandex jackets one for everyone
What a beautiful world this will be
What a glorious time to be free
On that train all graphite and glitter
Undersea by rail
Ninety minutes from New York to Paris
(More leisure for artists everywhere)
A just machine no make big decisions
Programmed by fellows with compassion and vision
We'll be clean when their work is done
We'll be eternally free and eternally young
What a beautiful world this will be
What a glorious time to be free

Twisting By The Pool
Composer(s): Mark Knopfler
Performer(s): Dire Straits
We're going on a holiday now
Gonna take a villa, a small chalet
On the Costa del Magnifico
Where the cost of living is so low
Yeah, we're gonna be so neat
Dance to the Eurobeat
Yeah, we're gonna be so cool
Twisting by the pool
Sitting in a small cafe now
Swing, swing, swingin to the cabaret
You wanna see a movie, take in a show now
Meet new people at the disco
Yeah, we're gonna be so neat
Dance to the Eurobeat
Yeah, we're gonna be so cool
Twisting by the pool
And we can still get information
Reading all about inflation
And you're never gonna be out of reach
There's a call-box on the beach
Mmm, you're gonna look so cute
Sunglasses and bathing suites
Be the baby of my dreams
Like the ladies in the magazine
Yeah, we're gonna be so neat
Dance to the Eurobeat
Yeah, we're gonna be so cool
Twisting by the pool
I'm a twisting fool
Just twisting, yeah twisting
Twisting by the pool

Venus, My Shining Love
Venus, My Shining Love
Composer(s): George M. Cohan
Performer(s): Harry Leighton
Most ev'ryone has a sweetheart
With beautiful eyes that shine
I'm not acquainted with your love
But you're well acquainted with mine
Excelling all other ladles
Fairer than any by far
You must admit that the brightest of all
Is Venus, my shining star
Venus, beautiful Venus, how bright you shine
None shall e'er come between us, sweet Venus mine
None as bright as my darling so far up above
Venus, my beautiful Venus, my shining love
Some say true love ne'er runs smoothly
But with them I disagree
Not a cross word has been uttered
'Twixt Venus, my loved one, and me
Leading my star to the altar
Was my most beautiful dream
When I compare her with Saturn or Mars
Like darkness to her they seem
Venus, beautiful Venus, how bright you shine
None shall e'er come between us, sweet Venus mine
None as bright as my darling so far up above
Venus, my beautiful Venus, my shining love

Composer(s): Doc Pomus; Mort Shuman
Performer(s): Elvis Presley;
and various other artists
Kiss me quick, while we still have this feeling
Hold me close and never let me go
'Cause tomorrows can be so uncertain
Love can fly and leave just hurting
Kiss me quick because I love you so
Kiss me quick and make my heart go crazy
Sigh that sigh and whisper oh so low
Tell me that tonight will last forever
Say that you will leave me never
Kiss me quick because I love you so
Let the band keep playing while we are swaying
Let's keep on praying that we'll never stop
Kiss me quick just can't stand this waiting
'Cause your lips are lips I long to know
Oh that kiss will open heaven's door
And we'll stay there forevermore
Kiss me quick because I love you so

I've been alive forever, and I wrote the very first song
I put the words and the melodies together
I am music and I write the songs
I write the songs that make the whole world sing
I write the songs of love and special things
I write the songs that make the young girls cry
I write the songs, I write the songs
My home lies deep within you
And I've got my own place in your soul
Now, when I look out through your eyes
I'm young again, even though I'm very old
I write the songs that make the whole world sing
I write the songs of love and special things
I write the songs that make the young girls cry
I write the songs, I write the songs
Oh my music makes you dance
And gives you spirit to take a chance
And I wrote some rock 'n' roll so you can move
Music fills your heart
Well, that's a real fine place to start
It's from me it's for you
It's from you, it's for me
It's a worldwide symphony
I write the songs that make the whole world sing
I write the songs of love and special things
I write the songs that make the young girls cry
I write the songs, I write the songs
I write the songs that make the whole world sing
I write the songs of love and special things

Kiss Me Sweet
Performer(s): Butterbeans & Susie
Instrumental Intro
I was so blue, and lonely too
You went away, I longed you'd stay
To hold you, dear, and
Press your lovin' lips to mine
I thought I'd die
I don't know why
But seems to me
In certainty
That waitin' for you
Mama, was a waste of time
Lordy, just sing that thing
I'm gonna kiss you sweet
And fill you with sensation
Honey, kiss me swett
I need some inspiration
Now put your arms around me
Look me straight in my eye
Lordy, if this gonna kill me
Lay a sweet body down
Kiss me now
I can't wait no longer
Need some arms
My love is growin' stronger
You goin' on
I've known you for years
I can feel the caring here
Without shiftin' a gear
My love ain't complete
Honey, till you kiss me sweet
-Instrumental Break-
Kiss me now
I can't wait no longer
Seems somehow
My love is growin' stronger
With your arms up around me tight
Mama, lookin' in your eyes so bright
My love ain't complete
Honey, till you kiss me sweet

I Wouldn't Leave My Little Wooden Hut For You
I Wouldn't Leave My Little Wooden Hut For You
Composer(s): Tom Mellor; Chas. Collins
Performer(s): Ian Whitcomb
Once on a cannibal isle there dwelt a dark-eyed maid
She lived all alone in a little log hut 'neath the palm tree's shade
And on that island she reigned as queen
One day a stranger appeared on the scene
Said he, 'Why waste your time out in this awful clime?
Oh, come with me, my pretty southern maid to my home across the sea'
But he went fairly red when she turned up her nose and said
'I wouldn't leave my little wooden hut for you
I've got one lover, and I don't want two
What might happen there is no knowing
If he comes around, so you'd better be a-going
For I wouldn't leave my little wooden hut for you!'

Composer(s): Dennis W. Morgan; Kye Fleming; Charles Quillen
First release by: Ronnie Milsap - 1981
Our paths may never cross again
Maybe my heart will never mend
But I'm glad for all the good times
'Cause you brought me so much sunshine
Love was the best it's ever been
I wouldn't have missed it for the world
Wouldn't have missed loving you girl
You've made my whole life worth while, with your smile
I wouldn't trade one memory, cause you mean too much to me
Even though I lost you girl
I wouldn't have missed it for the world
They say that all good things must end
Love comes and goes just like the wind
You've got your dreeams to follow
But if I had the chance tomorrow
You know I'd do it all again.
I wouldn't have missed it for the world
Wouldn't have missed loving you girl
You've made my whole life worth while, with your smile
I wouldn't trade one memory, cause you mean too much to me
Even though I lost you girl
I wouldn't have missed it for the world
Oh I wouldn't trade one memory, cause you mean too much to me
Even though I lost you girl, I wouldn't have missed it for the world
I wouldn't have missed it for the world
Wouldn't have missed loving you girl
You've made my whole life worth while, with your smile
I wouldn't trade one memory, cause you mean too much to me
Even though I lost you girl
I wouldn't have missed it for the world ...

Sitting by the window, feeling sad & blue
All because I haven't heard from you
& then my mama said "Look! Look!
Here comes the postman twistin' down the avenue
He's got a letter in his hand
& I know it has to be for you
He's got the mail sack twisted 'round his back
'Cause he's a (twistin' postman)"
Now he's a-twistin' to the left, twistin' to the right

Kiss Of Fire
Kiss Of Fire
Composer(s): A.G. Vilodo; Lester Allen; Robert Hill
Performer(s): Georgia Gibbs;
and various other artists
I touch your lips and all at once the sparks go flying
Those devil lips that know so well the art of lying
And though I see the danger, still the flame grows higher
I know I must surrender to your kiss of fire
Just like a torch, you set the soul within me burning
I must go on, I'm on this road of no returning
And though it burns me and it turns me into ashes
My whole world crashes without your kiss of fire
I can't resist you, what good is there in trying?
What good is there denying you're all that I desire?
Since first I kissed you my heart was yours completely
If I'm a slave, then it's a slave I want to be
Don't pity me, don't pity me
Give me your lips, the lips you only let me borrow
Love me tonight and let the devil take tomorrow
I know that I must have your kiss although it dooms me
Though it consumes me, your kiss of fire
(Instrumental Break)
Since first I kissed you my heart was yours completely
If I'm a slave, then it's a slave I want to be
Don't pity me, dDon't pity me
Give me your lips, the lips you only let me borrow
Love me tonight and let the devil take tomorrow
I know that I must have your kiss although it dooms me
Though it consumes me......your kiss of fire!!!

Twist Of Fate
Twist Of Fate
Composer(s): Kipner - Becket
Performer(s): Olivia Newton-John
Do we deserve a second chance?
How did we fall into this circumstance?
We weren't so straight and narrow
This is much more than we deserve
A higher voice has called the tune:
"Two hearts that lost the beat will now resume!"
This gift of life extension
By divine intervention
It's gotta be a strange twist of fate
Telling me that Heaven can wait
Telling me to get it right this time
Life doesn't mean a thing
Without the love you bring
Love is what we've found
The second time around
Don't understand what's going on
Woke up this morning, all the hurt was gone
This is a new beginning
I'm back in the land of the living
It's gotta be a strange twist of fate
Telling me that Heaven can wait
Telling me to get it right this time
Life doesn't mean a thing
Without the love you bring
Love is what we've found
The second time around
It's gotta be a strange twist of fate
Telling me that Heaven can wait
Oh, I'm gonna get it right this time
Life doesn't mean a thing
Without the love you bring
Love is what we've found
The second time around
It's gotta be a strange twist of fate
Telling me that Heaven can wait
You know, I'm gonna get it right
I'm gonna make it work this time
Life doesn't mean a thing
Without the love you bring
Love is what we've found
The second time around
It's gotta be a strange twist of fate
Telling me that Heaven can wait
Life doesn't mean a thing
Without the love you bring
Love is what we've found
The second time around
