Little Bird, Little Bird
Little Bird, Little Bird
Composer(s): Joe Darion - Mitch Leigh
Anselmo, Pedro:
(two Muleteers)
Little bird, little bird
In the cinnamon tree
Little bird, little bird
Do you sing for me?
Do you bring me word
Of one I know?
Little bird, little bird
I love her so
Little bird, little bird
I have to know
Little bird, little bird
Beneath this tree
This cinnamon tree
We learned to love
We learned to cry
For here we met
And here we kissed
And here one cold and moonless night
We said goodbye
Anselmo:
Little bird, little bird
Oh have pity on me
Bring her back to me now
'Neath the cinnamon tree
I have waited too long
Without a song
Little bird, little bird
Please fly, please go
little bird, little bird
And tell her so
Little bird, little bird
Pedro, Muleteers:
Little bird, little bird, ...

Magic Power
Magic Power
Composer(s): Rik Emmett; Michael Levine; Gil Moore
Performer(s): Triumph; Hugo
Something's at the edge of your mind, you don't know what it is
Somethin' you were hopin' to find but your not sure what it is
Then you hear the music and it all comes crystal clear
The music does the talkin' says the things you want to hear
I'm young, I'm wild and I'm free
I got the magic power of the music in me
I'm young, I'm wild and I'm free
I got the magic power of the music in me
She climbs into bed, pull the covers overhead and turns her little radio on
She's had a rotten day so she hopes the DJ's gonna play her favorite song
It makes her feel much better, brings her closer to her dreams
A little magic power makes it better that it seems
She's young now, she's wild now, she wants to be free
She gets the magic power of the music in me
If you're thinkin' it over but you just can't sort it out
Do you want someone to tell you what they think it's all about
Are you the one and only who's sad and lonely, reachin' for the top
Well the music keeps you goin' and it's never gonna stop
Never gonna stop
Never gonna, never gonna, never gonna stop
The world is full of compromise, and infinite red tape
But the music's got the magic, it's your one chance for escape
So turn me on - turn me up - it's your turn to dream
A little magic power makes it better than it seems
I'm young, I'm wild and I'm free
I got the magic power of the music in me
I'm young, I'm wild and I'm free
I got the magic power of the music in me

Magic Moments
Magic Moments
Composer(s): Hal David; Burt Bacharach
Originally performed by: Perry Como
Covered by various other artists
Magic moments, when two hearts are carin'
Magic moments, mem'ries we've been sharing
I'll never forget the moment we kissed the night of the hay ride
The way that we hugged to try to keep warm while takin' a sleigh ride
Chorus
Magic moments, mem'ries we've been sharin'
Magic moments, when two hearts are carin'
Time can't erase the memory of
These magic moments filled with love
The telephone call that tied up the line for hours and hours
The Saturday dance I got up the nerve to send you some flowers
Chorus
(The way that we cheered whenever our team was scoring a touchdown)
The time that the floor fell out of my car when I put the clutch down
(The penny arcade, the games that we played, the fun and the prizes)
The Halloween hop when everyone came in funny disguises
Magic moments filled with love

Little Arrows
Little Arrows
Composer(s): Albert Hammond - Lee Hazlewood
Performer(s): Leapy Lee
There's a boy--a little boy--shooting arrows in the blue
And he's aiming them at someone but the question is at who
Is it me or is it you? It's hard to tell until you're hit
But you'll know it when they hit you ‘cause they hurt a little bit
Here they come falling out of the blue--little arrows for me and for you
You're falling in love again, falling in love again
Little arrows in your clothing, little arrows in your hair
when you 're in love you'll find those little arrows everywhere
Little arrows that will hit you once, and hit you once again
Little arrows that hit everybody every now and then
Whoa-oh-oh the pain…
Some folks run and others hide, but there is nothing they can do
And some folks put on armor, but the arrows go straight through
So you see, there's no escape, so why not face it and admit
That you love those little arrows when they hurt a little bit
Here they come falling out of the blue--little arrows for me and for you
You're falling in love again, falling in love again
Little arrows in your clothing, little arrows in your hair
when you're in love you'll find those little arrows everywhere
Little arrows that will hit you once and hit you once again
Little arrows that hit everybody every now and then

Performer(s): Cliff Richard - 1965
and multiple other artists
Magic is the moonlight
On this lover's June night
As I see the moonlight
Shining in your eyes
Can't resist the power
In this moonlit hour
Love began to flower
This is paradise
Living in the splendor
Of your kiss so tender
Make my heart surrender
To a love divine
Magic is the moonlight
More than any June night
Magic is the moonlight
For it made you mine

Little 69
Composer(s): Richardson - Cootie Williams
Performer(s): Rubettes
I got a brand new set of wheels
and I got to know how it feels
to be cruisin' down the road at ninety five
it's a brand new speed machine
I'm gonna need to keep it clean
the print is red with leatherette inside
Little sixty nine sixty nineer
Little sixty nine nothing finer
Cruisin' out in mine with my diner
In my little sixty nine
In my motor car with my baby
Underneath the stars don't mean maybe
Everything is fine with my diner
In my little sixty nine
She's gonna beat the fastest time
I know she really moves just fine
Cruisin' down the road at ninety five
And everyone that we see
Will be looking at you and me
Don't you feel it's good to be alive
Little sixty nine sixty niner ...
Cruisin' down the road I gotta make it fly
You know I gotta try
Little sixty nine sixty niner ...

Magic Mind
Magic Mind
Composer(s): Maurice White; Verdine White; Fred White;
Larry Dunn; Philip Bailey; Al McKay
Performer(s): Earth, Wind & Fire; Al McKay Allstars
Hey, we heard the news that someone`s crying the blues
`Cause words still go unsaid as hungry minds are never fed
Take a chance as you dance in romance
In a trance to advance and expand
Got a dime and a rhyme brilliant mind
Still inclined in your prime to design
For man`s great strength to meet another trembling heart`s defeat
Is read between the lines when change of mind is hard to find
The blossoms that you reap from binding challenges complete
And wisdom`s gentle rain imensely crowns your brain
Take a chance as you dance in romance
In a trance to advance and expand
Moving soon upper room
Paid your dues `cause you`re through feelin` blue
Take a chance as you dance in romance
In a trance to advance and expand
Got a dime and a rhyme brilliant mind
Still inclined in your prime to design
Moving soon upper room
Paid your dues `cause you`re through feelin` blue

Litet Solskensbarn
Litet Solskensbarn
((Adapted from: Little Altar Boy (by Vic Dana) - 1961))
Composer(s): Howlett Smith - K.G. Lundqvist
Performer(s): Agnetha Fältskog - 1970
Litet solskensbarn, en skugga faller över dig
Litet solskensbarn, de stora frågar ej
Frågar dig ej om råd eller vad som sker
Litet solskensbarn, vår värld är inget för dig
Litet solskensbarn, som bygger slott av sand och sten
Litet solskensbarn, din dag har blivit sen
Sanden har trampats ner, skratt, det hörs ej mer
Litet solskensbarn, är det ej fel det som sker
Högt i det blå, där lyser solen klar
Kanske ändå att hoppet ännu finns kvar
För kärleken att nå, överallt
Kanske ändå vi en gång lär oss förstå
Litet solskensbarn, en sorgsen blick som följer mig
Litet solskensbarn, vem frågar efter dig
Världen är hård och kall, ingen glädje mer
Litet solskensbarn, nog är det fel det som sker
Nog är det fel det som sker

Magic Man
Magic Man
Composer(s): Ann Wilson; Nancy Wilson
Performer(s): Heart
Cold late night so long ago
When I was not so strong you know
A pretty man came to me
Never seen eyes so blue
I could not run away
It seemed we'd seen each other in a dream
It seemed like he knew me
He looked right through me
"Come on home, girl" he said with a smile
"You don't have to love me yet
Let's get high awhile
But try to understand
Try to understand
Try try try to understand
I'm a magic man"
Winter nights we sang in tune
Played inside the months of moon
Never think of never
Let this spell last forever
Summer over passed to fall
Tried to realize it all
Mama says she's worried
Growing up in a hurry
"Come on home, girl" mama cried on the phone
"Too soon to lose my baby yet my girl should be at home!"
"But try to understand, try to understand
Try try try to understand
He's a magic man, mama
He's a magic man"
"Come on home, girl" he said with a smile
"I cast my spell of love on you a woman from a child!
But try to understand, try to understand
I'm a magic man!"

Magic Hymie
Magic Hymie
Composer(s): Jerry Harrison; Nona Hendryx; B. Worrell
Performer(s): Jerry Harrison
It was my last attempt
It was my last defense
I didn’t think I could ever do it
Until I did it
It was my last attempt
It was my last defense
I didn’t think I could ever do it
Until I did it
If it were yesterday
Or any other day
I would have run away
Playing dumb
I would have stayed away
If it were afternoon
Or night or day
I would have run away
And put things off
And stayed away
Until another day, because
It was my last attempt
It was my last defense
I didn’t think I could ever do it
Until I did it
It was my last attempt
It was my last defense
I didn’t think I could ever do it
Until I did it
Sometimes you have to be
Stretched the wire
Before you can untie your hands
Before you move
Sometimes the gun must be
Held to your head
When there’s nothing left
When there’s nothing left
You can go ahead, because
It was my last attempt
It was my last defense
I didn’t think I could ever do it
Until I did it
It was my last attempt
It was my last defense
I didn’t think I could ever do it
Until I did it
Face the chair
Firing squad
Without the heat
To bring you fear
You’ll never know
What you can do
Keep it going (repeat)
So there’s a way out of that corner
you’ve painted yourself into
And maybe you’re just gonna have to dig that ditch
a little bit deeper before you can get out of it
Well do you just gotta stand up
I mean if you sit down all your life what are you gonna do?
I mean you’re just gonna have to climb up right over
yourself and get out of there
I mean that mess you’re in, you’re just gonna
have to get out of it
You’re gonna have to decide you gonna do it
You’re gonna have to decide you wanna do it, and
then you’re just gonna do it
So okay, all right, okay, okay, oh
It was my last attempt
It was my last defense
I didn’t think I could ever do it
Until I did it
It was my last attempt
It was my last defense
I didn’t think I could ever do it
Until I did it ...

Liten Och Trött
Liten Och Trött
Composer(s): K. Aneby - M. Försberg
Performer(s): Agnetha Fältskog & Christian Ulvaeus
När man är liten och trött behöver man
Nå'n som stoppar om en och kramas lite grann
För ibland är man rädd, det känns ensamt och då
Är det skönt att få hålla nå'n i hand
Att få hålla nå'n i hand
Och även om man blir stor och så väldigt klok
Så kan det hända att allting går på tok
Och fast man vet bäst, som vuxna alltig gör
Så är man ängslig när ingen ser och hör
För ibland är man rädd, det känns ensamt och då
Är det skönt att få hålla nå'n i hand
För ibland är man rädd, det känns ensamt och då
Är det skönt att få hålla nå'n i hand
Att få hålla nå'n i hand, att få hålla nå'n i hand

Magic Carpet Ride
Magic Carpet Ride
Composer(s): John Kay
Originally performed by: Steppenwolf
Covered by various other artists
I like to dream yes, yes, right between my sound machine
On a cloud of sound I drift in the night
Any place it goes is right
Goes far, flies near, to the stars away from here
Well, you don't know what we can find
Why don't you come with me little girl
On a magic carpet ride
You don't know what we can see
Why don't you tell your dreams to me
Fantasy will set you free
Close your eyes girl
Look inside girl
Let the sound take you away
Last night I held Aladdin's lamp
And so I wished that I could stay
Before the thing could answer me
Well, someone came and took the lamp away
I looked around, a lousy candle's all I found
Well, you don't know what we can find
Why don't you come with me little girl
On a magic carpet ride
Well, you don't know what we can see
Why don't you tell your dreams to me
Fantasy will set you free
Close your eyes girl
Look inside girl
Let the sound take you away

Magic
Composer(s): Ric Ocasek
Performer(s): The Cars
Summer turns me upside down
Summer summer summer
It's like a merry-go-round
I see you under the midnight
All shackles and bows
High shoes with the cleats a-clickin'
a temperamental glow
How far will you take it
Well no one knows
Don't let me go
I got a hold on you tonight
Oh oh it's magic
When I'm with you
Oh oh it's magic
You know it's true
Got a hold on you
Twisted under sideways down
I know you're getting twisted
And you can't calm down
I see you under the midnight
Love darts in your eyes
How far can you take it
Till you realize
There's magic in your eyes
Oh oh it's magic
When I'm with you
Oh oh it's magic
You know it's true
Got a hold on you
