Where the Streets Have no Name
by U2
I want to run
I want to hide
I want to tear down the walls
That hold me inside
I want to reach out
And touch the flame
Where the streets have no name
I want to feel sunlight on my face
I see the dust cloud disappear
Without a trace
I want to take shelter from the poison rain
Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
We're still building
Then burning down love
Burning down love
And when I go there
I go there with you
It's all I can do
The city's aflood
And our love turns to rust
We're beaten and blown by the wind
Trampled in dust
I'll show you a place
High on a desert plain
Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
We're still building
Then burning down love
Burning down love
And when I go there
I go there with you
It's all I can do
Our love turns to rust
We're beaten and blown by the wind
Blown by the wind
Oh, and I see love
See our love turn to rust
We're beaten and blown by the wind
Blown by the wind
Oh, when I go there
I go there with you
It's all I can do
James Taylor Tribute
Sweet Baby James: Clay Aiken
There is a young cowboy he lives on the range
His horse and his cattle are his only companions
He works in the saddle and he sleeps in the canyons
Waiting for summer, his pastures to change
There's a song that they sing when they take to the highway
A song that they sing when they take to the sea
A song that they sing of their home in the sky
Maybe you can believe it if it helps you to sleep
But singing works just fine for me
~Chorus~
Goodnight you moonlight ladies
Rockabye sweet baby James
Deep greens and blues are the colors I choose
Won't you let me go down in my dreams
And rockabye sweet baby James
~Repeat chorus~
And rockabye sweet baby James
How Sweet it is: - Angela
How sweet it is to be loved by you
I needed the shelter of someone's arms, and there you were
I needed someone to understand my ups and downs, and there you were
With sweet love and devotion
Deeply touching my emotion
I want to stop and thank you baby
I want to stop and thank you baby
How sweet it is to be loved by you
How sweet it is to be loved by you
How sweet it is to be loved by you
Fire and Rain: Jacob
Just yesterday morning they let me know you were gone
Susanne the plans they made put an end to you
I walked out this morning and I wrote down this song
I just can't remember who to send it to
I've seen fire and I've seen rain
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I’d see you again (repeat this line)
Your Smiling Face: Quianna
Whenever I see your smiling face
I have to smile myself
Because I love you (yes, I do)
And when you give me that pretty little pout
It turns me inside out
There's something about you, baby (I don't know)
Isn't it amazing a girl like me
Can feel this way
Tell me how much longer
I will grow stronger every day
Oh, how much longer
I thought I was in love
A couple of times before
With the boy next door
But that was long before I met you
Now I'm sure that I won't forget you
And I thank my lucky stars
That you are who you are
And not just another lovely (something ?)
Sent down to break my heart
Isn't it amazing a girl like me
Can feel this way
Tell me how much longer
I can grow stronger every day
How much longer
You've Got a Friend: JACQ
If the sky above you
Should turn dark and full of clouds
And that old north wind should begin to blow
Keep your head together and call my name out loud
And soon I will be knocking upon your door.
You just call out my name and you know where ever I am
I'll come running to see you again. (Just to see you again)
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you’ve got to do is call
And I'll be there (yes I will)
Hey, ain't it good to know that you've got a friend?
People can be so cold.
They'll hurt you and they’ll desert you.
Well they'll take your soul if you let them.
Oh yeah, but don't you let them.
You just call out my name (out my name) and you know wherever I am
I'll come running to see you again. (Just to see you again)
Oh, don't you know that
Winter spring summer or fall,
All you've got to do is call.
And I'll be there, yes I will.
You've got a friend.
You've got a friend.
Don’t you know you've got a friend.
You’ve got a friend.
Ain't it good to know you've got a friend.
You’ve got a friend.
You've got a friend.
Rosanna
by Toto
All I wanna do when I wake up in the morning is see you eyes
Rosanna, Rosanna
I never thought that a girl like you could ever care for me, Rosanna
All I wanna do in the middle of the evening is hold you tight
Rosanna, Rosanna
I didn't know you were looking for more than I could ever be
Not quite a year since she went away, Rosanna
Now she's gone and I have to say
[Chorus:]
Meet you all the way, Rosanna
Meet you all the way, Rosanna
I can see your face still shining through the window on the other side
Rosanna, Rosanna
I didn't know that a girl like you could make me feel so sad, Rosanna
All I wanna tell you is now you'll never ever have to compromise
Rosanna, Rosanna
I never thought that losing you could ever hurt so bad
Not quite a year since she went away, Rosanna
Now she's gone and I have to say
[Repeat chorus]
[Instrumental break]
Not quite a year since she went away,
Who is it? Rosanna
Now she's gone and I have to say
[Repeat chorus]
Meet you all the way, Rosanna
Meet you all the way, Rosanna
You Were There
by Avalon
I wonder how it must have felt
When David stood to face Goliath on a hill
I imagine that he shook with all his might
Until You took his hand, and held on tight
'Cause You were there, You were there
In the midst of danger's snare
You were there, You were there always
You were there when the hardest fight
Seemed so out of reach
Oh, You were there, You were always there
You were always there
So there he stood upon that hill
Abraham with knife in hand was poised to kill
But God in all his sovereignty had bigger plans
And just in time, You brought a lamb
'Cause You were there,
You were there
In the midst of the unclear
You were there, you were there always
You were there when obedience
Seemed to not make sense
You were there, You were always there
You were always there
So haven't I learned that my ways
Aren't as high as Yours are
And You alone keep the universe
From crumbling into dust
You are God and though we would
Not have understood You
There You were
Hanging blameless on a cross
You would rather die than leave us in the dark
Every moment, every planned coincidence
Just all makes sense
With Your last breath
You were there, You were there
During history's darkest hour
You were there, You were there always
You were the Victor and the King
You were the power in David's swing
You were the calm in Abraham
You are the God who understands
You are the strength when we have none
You are the living, Holy one
You were, You are and You will always be
the Risen Lamb of God
You were, You are and You will always be
The Risen Lamb of God

STILL THE ONE
We've been together since way back when, sometimes I never want to see you again
But I want you to know, after all these years, you're still the one I want whisperin' in my ear
You're still the one I want to talk to in bed, still the one that turns my head
We're still having fun, and you're still the one
I looked at your face every day, but I never saw it 'til I went away
When winter came, I just wanted to go, deep in the desert, I longed for the snow
You're still the one that makes me laugh, still the one that's my better half
We're still having fun, and you're still the one
You're still the one that makes me strong, still the one I wannna take along
We're still having fun, and you're still the one
Changing, our love is going gold, even though we grow old, it grows new
You're still the one that I love to touch, still the one and I can't get enough
We're still having fun, and you're still the one
You're still the one who can scratch my itch, still the one and I wouldn't switch
We're still having fun, and you're still the one
You're still the one that makes me shout, still the one that I dream about
We're still having fun, and you're still the one
You are still the one, still the one, we're still having fun, and you're still the one

I KNEW YOU WERE WAITING (FOR ME)
Aretha Franklin & George Michael
(Simon Climie, Dennis Morgan)
Like a warrior that fights
And wins the battle
I know the taste of victory
Though I went through some nights
Consumed by the shadows
And was crippled emotionally
Somehow I made it through the heartache
I escaped
I found my way out of the darkness, kept my faith
Kept my faith
(Chorus)
When the river was deep I didn't falter
When the mountain was high I still believed
When the valley was low it didn't stop me
I knew you were waiting
Knew you were waiting for me
With an endless desire
I kept on searching
Sure in time our eyes would meet
And the bridge is on fire
The hurt is over
One touch and you set me free
I don't regret a single moment
Looking back, when I think of all those disappointments
I just laugh, I just laugh
(Chorus)
So we were drawn together through destiny
I know this love we share was meant to be
I knew you were waiting
Knew you were waiting
Knew you were waiting for me

As per Claymatose's request, I've tried to figure out the lyrics for Fool. I tried Google-ing and searching other forums but couldn't find. You're welcome Claymatose, I love this song too.
FOOL
by Clay and Cherie [Duet performed at Foxwoods (Mashantucket) 07/29/04]
Somewhere out there
I know that you're waiting for me
I'm still believing
Dreaming that one day you'll be
Everybody tells me I've still got so much to learn
They don't seem to understand
It's a fool that falls in love
And still they told me
Dreams are not enough
Or so they tell me
Someday, some way, somehow
You will find your way to me
Then you will see
That fool is me
Every moment I live without you
Breaks my heart
There's no one better
So why must we still be apart
No one ever told me
You'd be the last one to learn
Gotta make you understand
It's a fool that falls in love
And still they told me
Dreams are never enough
Or so they tell me
Someday, some way, somehow
You will find your way to me
I believe that
Love plays a game with my heart
And there's nothing I can do
*(Cherie sings two lines I can't decipher)
It's a fool that falls in love
And still they told me
Dreams are never enough
Or so they tell me
Someday, some way, somehow
You will find your way to me
Then you will see
That fool is me
Claymatose - August 18, 2004 04:10 PM (GMT)
Awwh man thank you thank you thank you!!

All About Love is by Steven Curtis Chapman. He's a Christian singer. Need the lyrics?
ALL ABOUT LOVE
by Steven Curtis Chapman
We've got CD sets and videos, radio and TV shows
Conferences, retreats and seminars
We've got books and magazines to read on everything from A to Z
And a web to surf from anywhere we are
But I hope with all this information buzzing through our brains
That we will not let our hearts forget the most important thing
Is love, love, love, love, love
It's all about love, love, love, love, love
Everything else comes down to this
Nothing any higher on the list than love
It's all about love
Now they're fighting in the middle east
And they're fighting down on Seventh Street
And there are fights in my own house on given days
It's like something's lurking deep inside
Can't seem to be satisfied
But life was not meant to be lived this way
'Cause it's true for every man and woman
Every boy and girl
That our only hope for living here together in this world
Is love, love, love, love, love
It's all about love, love, love, love, love
Everything else comes down to this
Nothing any higher on the list than love
This is the reason we were made
To know the love of our Creator
And to give the love He's given us away
Yeah, the Maker, and the Father, and the God of everything
He says to love, love, love
He says love, love, love
Love, love, love
'Cause after all, it's all about love
Gods says love, love, love, love, love
It's all about love, love, love, love, love
Everything else comes down to this
Nothing any higher on the list than love
'Cause after all, it's all about love
That's right, yeah (laugh)
Woo!
It's all about, yea yea
It's all about
All about love, love, love, love, love
It's all about love, love, love
After all don't you know?
That it really all comes down to love
After all don't you know that
Gonna tell you what it's all about, yeah
Yeah, it's all about love
Yeah, it's all about love, yeah
It's all about love,
Love, love, love

need to add Chain of Fool and Sign Sealed Delivered
starry007 - December 23, 2004 03:28 PM (GMT)
Chain of Fools - LyricsChain, chain, chain (chain, chain, chain)
Chain, chain, chain (chain, chain, chain)
Chain, chain, chain (chain, chain, chain)
Chain of fools
For five long years I thought you were my man
But I found out I'm just a link in your chain.
You got me where you want me
I ain't nothin' but your fool
You treated me mean
Ooh, you treated me cruel
Chain, chain, chain (chain, chain, chain)
Chain of fools
Every chain has got a weak link
And I might be weak, child
But I'll give you strength
You told me to leave you alone
My father said, "Come on home"
My doctor said, "Take it easy"
But your lovin' is much too strong
I'm welded to your...
Chain, chain, chain (chain, chain, chain)
Chain of fools
Chain, chain, chain (chain, chain, chain)
Chain of fools
One of these mornings the chain is gonna break
But up until then I'm gonna take all I can take
(repeat and fade):
Chain, chain, chain (chain, chain, chain)
Chain of fools
Chain, chain, chain (chain, chain, chain)
Chain of fools
Sign Sealed Delivered - LyricsLike a fool I went and stayed too long
Now I’m wondering if you love’s still strong
Ooh baby, here I am signed, sealed, delivered, I’m yours
Here I am baby, you got the future in your hands
Here I am baby, you got the future in your hands
I’ve done a lot of foolish things
That I really didn’t mean
Seen lot of things in this old world
When I touched them they did nothing for this girl
Ooh baby, here I am signed, sealed, delivered, I’m yours
Chorus: Here I am baby, signed, sealed, delivered, I’m yours
Here I am baby, signed, sealed, delivered, I’m yours
Here I am baby, signed, sealed, delivered, I’m yours
Here I am baby, you got the future in your hands
I’ve done a lot of foolish things
That I really didn’t mean
Oh baby, you set my soul on fire
That’s why I know you’re my heart’s only desire
Here I am, signed, sealed, delivered, I’m yours

The Christmas Waltzby Harry Connick, Jr [and a lotta other people including Clay ;)]
Frosted windowpanes
Candles gleaming inside
Painted candy canes on the tree
Santa's on his way
He's filled his sleigh with things
Things for you and me
It's that time of year
When the world falls in love
Ev'ry song you hear seems to say
Merry Christmas
May your New Year dreams come true
And this song of mine
In three-quarter time
Wishes you and yours
The same thing too
The Music Of Christmasby Steven Curtis Chapman
There's a man who stands in the cold wind tonight,
And he greets everyone passing by
With a smile and a ringing bell;
And the song that he's playing, is his own way of saying:
Love is here, it's the music of Christmas.
And there's a lady who sits all alone with her thoughts,
And the memories of all that she's lost,
When she hears a sound at her door,
And a song comes to find her, as a gentle reminder:
Love is here, it's the music of Christmas.
CHORUS
So listen, listen with your heart
And you will hear a song in the laughter of a child.
Oh won't you listen for the sound of hope,
And you will hear the music of Christmas,
For the music of Christmas is love;
Oh, its love.
So light the fire, tell the family to gather around,
And the walls will echo the sound
Of memories that are and will be;
And their voices, like a chorus, will sing it so sweetly for us;
Love is here, it's the music of Christmas.
(chorus)
Long ago, a baby was born in the night,
And as He let out His very first cry,
The sound was bringing hope alive.
Stars were shining, angels singing;
All heaven and earth was ringing:
Love is here, this is the music of Christmas.
(chorus)

Good News
Fold your hands
For a moment let your sorrow fade
Why, oh, why are you afraid?
Has this world stripped you of your faith?
Close your eyes and on bended knee
Listen to an angel pray
And once again prepare the way
So you'll see a gift that's given
For you a time of joy
Behold a baby boy
Good News. Good News
An angel brings good news
Good News. Good news
I leave you with Good news
Bow your head
Speak not a word
Let the silence take you far from here
The spirit of a child dry every tear
And may your doubts, they disappear.
Bow your head and on bended knee
Hear the story once again
The child grew up to wear a cross
A child grew up to pledge a life
For us a time of joy
Behold, Christ a baby boy
Good News. Good News
An angel brings good news
Good News. Good News
I leave you with good news.
For us is born this night (choir)
In a manger wrapped in swaddling clothes
Christ the Savior, Christmas day
All our burdens washed away
We break the bread
We pour the wine
And angels decend with a heavenly sigh
Good News, Good News
An angel brings good news
Good News, Good News
I leave you with good news.
Good News. Good News.
An Angel brings good news.
Oh I will bring you
Good News
An angel brings good news.

I'll Be Home for Christmas
Written by Walter Kent/J. Kimball Gannon, 1943
First recorded by Bing Crosby, October 1943
I'm dreaming tonight of a place I love
Even more than I usually do
And although I know it's a long road back
I promise you
I'll be home for Christmas
You can plan on me
Please have snow and mistletoe
And presents by the tree
Christmas Eve will find me
Where the love light gleams
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams
I'll be home for Christmas
You can plan on me
Please have snow and mistletoe
And presents by the tree
Christmas Eve will find me
Where the love light gleams
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams
If only in my dreams

anyone has Merry Xmas With Love?
starry007 - January 8, 2005 01:34 PM (GMT)
Merry Christmas With LoveShe leaned with her head on the window
Watching evergreen bend in the snow
Remembering Christmas the way it had been
So many seasons ago.
When children would reach for their stockings
And open the presents they found
The lights on the tree would shine bright in their eyes
Reflecting the love all around.
This year there's no one to open the gifts
No reason for trimming the tree
And just as a tear made its way to the floor
She heard voices outside start to sing.
Merry Christmas to all who may dwell here
Merry Christmas if even just one
May the joy of the season surround you
Merry Christmas with love.
Carolers sang as she opened the door
Faces of friends in the crowd
And all of the shadows of lonely reminders
Driven away by the sound.
Now the heart that for years had been silent
Was suddenly filled with a song
As she clung to their hands like a child in the night
She found her self singing along.
Merry Christmas to all who may dwell here
Merry Christmas if even just one
May the joy of the season surround you
Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas to all who may dwell here
Merry Christmas if even just one
May the joy of the season surround you
Merry Christmas with love

December 1963 (Oh, What A Night)
Oh what a night Late December back in '63 What a very special time for me As I remember what a night!
Oh what a night, You know I didn't even know her name But I was never gonna be the same What a lady, what a night!
Oh, I got a funny feeling when she walked in the room And I, as I recall it ended much too soon
Oh what a night, Hypnotizing, mesmerizing me She was everything I dreamed she'd be Sweet surrender, what a night!
I felt a rush like a rolling bolt of thunder Straining my head around and taking my body under
(Oh what a night!)
Oh, I got a funny feeling when she walked in the room And I, as I recall it ended much too soon
Oh what a night!
Oh what a night, Why'd it take so long to see the light? Seemed so wrong, but now it seems so right What a lady, what a night!
I felt a rush like a rolling bolt of thunder Straining my head around and taking my body under
(Oh what a night!)
I felt a rush like a rolling bolt of thunder Straining my head around and taking my body under Oh what a night! |

Here are the lyrics to the 50s Medley. I haven't found Let's Go To The Hop yet. Can anyone who has it post it up here? I've been trying to find it.
50s Medley
Twistin The Night Away
Let me tell you 'bout a place
Somewhere up-a New York way
Where the people are so gay
Twistin' the night away-ay
Here they have a lot of fun
Puttin' trouble on the run
Man, you find the old and young
Twistin' the night away
They're twistin', twistin', everybody's feelin' great
They're twistin', twistin', they're twistin' the night away
Here's a man in evenin' clothes
How he got here, I don't know, but
Man, you oughta see him go
Twistin' the night away-ay
He's dancin' with the chick in slacks
She's a-movin' up and back
Oh man, there ain't nothin' like
Twistin' the night away
They're twistin', twistin', everybody's feelin' great
They're twistin', twistin', they're twistin' the night away
Let's twist a while!
Lean up, lean back
Lean up, lean back
Twistin', twistin', man, everybody's feelin' great
Twistin', twistin', they're twistin' the night away
Johnny Be Good
Way down Louisiana close to New Orleans,
Way back up in the woods among the evergreens
There stood a log cabin made of earth and wood,
Where lived a country boy named Johnny B. Goode...
He never ever learned to read or write so well,
But he could play the guitar just like ringing a bell.
Go Go
Go Johnny Go Go
Go johnny Go Go
Go johnny Go Go
Go johnny Go Go Go
Johnny B. Goode
Rockin' Robin (Bobby Day)
Tweedily deedily dee, Tweedily deedily dee,
Tweedily deedily dee, Tweedily deedily dee,
Tweedily deedily dee, Tweedily deedily dee,
Tweedily deedily dee, Tweedily deedily dee,
Tweet, tweet, tweet tweet
He rocks in the treetops all day long,
Hoppin' and a-boppin' and a-singin' his song.
All the little birds on J-Bird Street,
Love to hear the robin go tweet, tweet, tweet.
Rockin' robin (tweet, tweet, tweet);
Rock, rock, rockin' robin (tweet, tweedle-dee);
Go rockin' robin, we're really gonna rock tonight.
The Great Pretender (The Platters)
Oh yes, I'm the great pretender (Ooooo)
Pretending that I'm doing well (Ooooo)
My need is such, I pretend too much
I'm wearing my heart like a crown
Pretending that you're still around
Only You (The Platters)
Only you can make all this world seem bright
Only you can make the darkness bright
When you hold my hand I understand
The magic that you do
You're my dream come true
My one and only you
Mr Sandman
Mr. Sandman,
bring me a dream
Make him the cutest
that I've ever seen
Give him two lips
like roses and clover
Then tell him that his lonesome nights are over.
Sandman, (Yes?)
I'm so alone
Don't have nobody
to call my own
Please turn on your magic beam!
Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream.
That'll Be The Day
That’ll be the day - when you say goodbye
that’ll be the day - when you make me cry
you say you’re gonna leave - I know it’s a lie cause
that’ll be the day when I die
Well, you give me all your loving and your turtle-dovin’
all your hugs and kisses and your money too, we-hecka
you know you love me baby - until you tell me maybe
that someday well, I’ll be through
That’ll be the day - when you say goodbye
that’ll be the day - when you make me cry
you say you’re gonna leave - I know it’s a lie cause
that’ll be the day when I die
Great Balls of Fire
You shake my nerves and you rattle my brain
Too much love drives a man insane
You broke my will, but what a thrill
Goodness, gracious, great balls of fire!!
I laughed at love 'cause I thought it was funny
but You came along and moooooved me honey
I've changed my mind, this girl is fine
Goodness, gracious, great balls of fire!!
Kiss me baby, ooooh it feels good
Hold me baby, let me love you like a lover should
Your fine, so kind
Got to tell this world that your mine mine mine mine
Rock n Roll Is Here To Stay
Rock 'n roll is here to stay, it will never die
It was meant to be that way, though I don't know why
I don't care what people say, rock 'n roll is here to stay
(We don't care what people say, rock 'n roll is here to stay)

60s Medley
Daydream Believer
Oh, I could hide beneath the wings of the blue bird as she sings
The six o'clock alarm would never ring
But it rings and we rise wipe the sleep out of our eyes
The shaving razor's cold and it stings.
Cheer up sleepy Jean
Oh what can it mean
To a daydream believer and a homecoming queen.
Downtown
When you're alone and life is making you lonely
You can always go - downtown.
When you've got problems all the noise and the hurry
Seems to help
I know - downtown.
Just listen to the music of the traffic in the city
Linger on the sidewalk where the neon signs are pretty
How can you lose?
The lights are much brighter there
you can forget all your troubles
Forget all your cares
so go - downtown
Things 'll be great when you're - downtown
No finer place for sure - downtown
Everything's waiting for you - downtown.
Can't Buy Me Love
Can't buy me love, love
Can't buy me love
I'll buy you a diamond ring my friend if it makes you feel alright
I'll get you anything my friend if it makes you feel alright
'Cause I don't care too much for money, money can't buy me love
Can't buy me love, everybody tells me so
Can't buy me love, no no no, no
Sugar Sugar
Sugar, ah honey honey
You are my candy girl
And you've got me wanting you.
Honey, ah sugar sugar
You are my candy girl
And you've got me wanting you.
I just can't believe the loveliness of loving you
(I just can't believe it's true)
I just can't believe the one to love this feeling to.
(I just can't believe it's true)
So Happy Together
Imagine me and you, I do
I think about you day and night, it's only right
To think about the girl you love and hold her tight
So happy together
If I should call you up, invest a dime
And you say you belong to me and ease my mind
Imagine how the world could be, so very fine
So happy together
I can't see me lovin' nobody but you
For all my life
When you're with me, baby the skies'll be blue
For all my life

Elvis Medley
Love Me Tender
Love me tender,
love me sweet,
never let me go.
You have made my life complete,
and I love you so.
Love me tender,
love me true,
all my dreams fulfilled.
For my darlin' I love you,
and I always will.
Hound Dog
You ain't nothin' but a hound dog
cryin' all the time.
You ain't nothin' but a hound dog
cryin' all the time.
Well, you ain't never caught a rabbit
and you ain't no friend of mine.
Blue Suede Shoes
Well, it's one for the money,
Two for the show,
Three to get ready,
Now go, cat, go.
But don't you step on my blue suede shoes.
You can do anything but lay off of my Blue suede shoes.
Don't Be Cruel
You know I can be found
Sittin' home all alone
If you can't come around
At least please telephone
Don't be cruel to a heart that's true
I don't want no other love
Baby it's still you I'm thinking of
Heartbreak Hotel
Well, since my baby left me,
I found a new place to dwell.
It's down at the end of lonely street
at Heartbreak Hotel.
You make me so lonely baby,
I get so lonely,
I get so lonely I could die.
Jailhouse Rock
The warden threw a party in the county jail.
The prison band was there and they began to wail.
The band was jumpin' and the joint began to swing.
You should've heard those knocked out jailbirds sing.
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock.
Everybody in the whole cell block
was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock.
was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock.
Everybody in the whole cell block
was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock.
I Can't Help Falling In Love With You
Wise men say
Only fools rush in
But I can't help falling in love with you
Like a river flows
Surely to the sea
Darling so it goes
Some things are meant to be
Take my hand
Take my whole life too
For I can't help
Falling in love with you
Suspicious Minds
We're caught in a trap
I can't walk out
Because I love you too much baby
Why can't you see
What you're doing to me
When you don't believe a word I say?
We can't go on together
With suspicious minds
And we can't build our dreams
On suspicious minds
So, if an old friend I know
Drops by to say hecko
Would I still see suspicion in your eyes?
Here we go again
Asking where I've been
You can't see these tears are real
I'm crying
We can't go on together
With suspicious minds
And be can't build our dreams
On suspicious minds
Oh let our love survive
Or dry the tears from your eyes
Let's don't let a good thing die
When honey, you know
I've never lied to you
Mmm yeah, yeah
We're caught in a trap
I can't walk out
Because I love you too much baby
Why can't you see
What you're doing to me
When you don't believe a word I say?
We can't go on together
With suspicious minds
And we can't build our dreams
On suspicious minds

Oh What A Night
Oh, what a night.
Late December back in '63.
What a very special time for me,
'Cause I remember what a night.
Oh, what a night.
You know, I didn't even know her name,
But I was never gonna be the same.
What a lady. What a night.
Oh, I. I got a funny feeling when she walked
In the room and I,
As I recall it ended much too soon.
September
Do you remember the 21st night of September?
Love was changing the mind of pretenders
While chasing the clouds away
Our hearts were ringing
In the key that our souls were singing.
As we danced in the night,
Remember - how the stars stole the night away, yeah yeah yeah.
Hey hey hey,
Ba de ya - say do you remember
Ba de ya - dancing in September
Ba de ya - never was a cloudy day
Ba duda, ba duda, ba duda, badu
Ba duda, badu, ba duda, badu
Ba duda, badu, ba duda
Nights On Broadway
Here we are in the room full of strangers,
Standing in the dark where your eyes couldn't see me
Well, I have to follow you
Though you didn't want me to.
But that won't stop my lovin' you
I can't stay away
Blaming it all on the nights on Broadway
Singin' them sweet songs,
Singin' them straight to the heart songs.
Blamin' it all on the nights on Broadway
Singin' them sweet sounds
To that crazy, crazy town.
Too Much Heaven
Nobody gets too much heaven no more
It's much harder to come by
I'm waiting in line
Nobody gets too much love anymore
It's as high as a mountain
And harder to climb
Oh you and me girl
Got a lot of love in store
And it flows through you, and it flows through me
And I love you so much more
And my love
I can see beyond forever
Everything we own will never die
Love is such a beautiful thing
Oh you make my world a summer day
Are you just a dream to fade away
I Feel The Earth Move
I feel the earth move under my feet
I feel the sky tumbling down, tumbling down
I feel my heart start to trembling
Whenever you're around
Ooh, baby, when I see your face
Mellow as the month of May
Oh, darling, I can't stand it
When you look at me that way
I feel the earth move under my feet
I feel the sky tumbling down, tumbling down
And I couldn't resist but put this in as well. :lol:
Mandy
I remember all my life
Raining down as cold as ice
A shadow of a man
A face through a window
Crying in the night
The night goes into
Morning, just another day
Happy people pass my way
Looking in their eyes
I see a memory
I never realized
you made me so happy, oh Mandy
Well you came and you gave without taking
but I sent you away, oh Mandy
well you kissed me and stopped me from shaking
I need you today, oh Mandy
I'm standing on the edge of time
I walked away when love was mine
Caught up in a world of uphill climbing
The tears are in my eyes
And nothing is rhyming, oh Mandy
Well you came and you gave without taking
but I sent you away, oh Mandy
well you kissed me and stopped me from shaking
And I need you today, oh Mandy
Yesterday's a dream I face the morning
Crying on the breeze
the pain is calling, oh Mandy
Well you came and you gave without taking
but I sent you away, oh Mandy
well you kissed me and stopped me from shaking
And I need you today, oh Mandy

80s Medley
All Night Long
Well, my friends, the time has come
To raise the roof and have some fun
Throw away the work to be done
Let the music play on
(Play on, play on)
Everbody sing, everybody dance
Lose yourself in wild romance
We're going to party
Karamu, fiesta, forever
Come on and sing along!
All night long! (all night)
All night long! (all night)
All night long! (all night)
Yeah, once you get started
You can't sit down
Come join the fun
It's a merry go round
Everyone's dancing
Their troubles away
Come join our party
See how we play!
Never Gonna Give You Up
We're no strangers to love
You know the rules and so do I
A full commitment's what I'm thinking of
You wouldn't get this from any other guy
I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling
Gotta make you understand
Never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry, never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
Alone
I hear the ticking of the clock
I'm lying here, the room's pitch dark
I wonder where you are tonight
no answer on the telephone
and the night goes by so very slow
oh, I hope that it won't end though
Alone
Till now I always got by on my own
I never really cared until I met you
and now it chills me to the bone
how do I get you alone
how do I get you alone

90s Medley
End of the Road
Girl you know we belong together
I have no time for you to be playing with my heart like this
You'll be mine forever baby, you just see
We belong together
And you know that I'm right
Why do you play with my heart,
Why do you play with my mind?
Said we'd be forever
Said it'd never die
How could you love me and leave me and never say good-bye?
Still I can't sleep at night without holding you tight
Girl, each time I try I just break down and cry
Pain in my head oh I'd rather be dead
Spinnin' around and around
Although we've come to the End Of The Road
Still I can't let you go
It's unnatural, you belong to me, I belong to you
Come to the End of the Road
Still I can't let you go
It's unnatural, you belong to me, I belong to you
Iris
And I'd give up forever to touch you
Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't want to go home right now
And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
Cause sooner or later it's over
I just don't want to miss you tonight
And I don't want the world to see me
Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
Livin' La Vida Loca
She's into superstitions
Black cats and voodoo dolls
I feel a premonition
That girl's gonna make me fall
She's into new sensations
New kicks in the candlelight
She's got a new addiction
For every day and night
She'll make you take your
Clothes off and go dancing in the rain
She'll make you live her crazy life
But she'll take away your pain
Like a bullet to your brain
Upside inside out
She's livin' la vida loca
She'll push and pull you down
Livin' la vida loca
Her lips are devil red
And her skin's the color mocha
She will wear you out
Livin' la vida loca
Livin' la vida loca
She's livin' la vida loca

Now if someone could put the Motown ones up. Can't find alot of the songs. :)
claybaby - September 26, 2005 01:20 PM (GMT)
Motown is my fave era ever :spaz:*wishes she lived in 60s when all was much more simpler, or at least that what they said :P*
Midnight Train to Georgia - Glady's Knight
LA , proved too much for the man
he couldnt make it - so hes leaving a life he's come to know
say he's going back to find - what's left of his world
the world he left behind not so long ago
he's leaving on that midnight train to georgia
said he's going back to find a simpler place and time
i'll be with him on that midnight train to georgia
i'd rather live in his world, than live without him in mine
My Girl - Temptations
I've got sunshine on a cloudy day.
When it's cold outside I've got the month of May.
I guess you'd say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl (my girl, my girl)
Talkin' 'bout my girl (my girl).
I've got so much honey the bees envy me.
I've got a sweeter song than the birds in the trees.
I guess you'd say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl (my girl, my girl)
Talkin' 'bout my girl (my girl).
The Tears of a Clown - Smokey Robinson & The Miracles
Now if there's a smile on my face,
it's only there tryin' to fool the public,
but when it comes down to foolin' you;
Now honey, that's quite a different subject.
But don't let my glad expression
give you the wrong impression.
Really I'm sad.
I'm sadder than sad.
You're gone and I'm hurtin' so bad.
Like a clown I pretend to be glad.
(chorus)
Now there's some sad things known to man,
but ain't too much sadder than
the tears of a clown
when there's no one around.
Now if I appear to be carefree,
it's only to camouflage my sadness.
In order to keep my pride I try
to cover the hurt with a show of gladness.
But don't let my show convince you
that I've been happy since you
decided to go.
Oh, I need you so.
I'm hurt and I want you to know.
(chorus)
Just like Pagliacci did,
I try to keep my sadness hid.
(aaargh! I can't remember! It'll come to me and I'll send it along.)
But in my lonely room I cry
the tears of a clown
when there's no one around.
I'll Be There - Gloria Gaynor
Now if you feel that you can't go on
Because all your hope is gone
And your life is filled with confusion
And happiness is just an illusion
And your world around is tumblin' down
Darling, reach out
Reach out, for me.
I'll be there to love and confort you...(tell me baby)
I'll be there with the love I'll see you through
Now when you're lost and about to give up
'cause your best just ain't good enough
and you feel the world has grown cold
and you're driftin' on your own
when you need a hand to hold
darling, reach out
reach out, for me.
I'll be there to love and confort you
I'll be there with the love I'll see you through
I'll be there to love and confort you
I'll be there to with the love I'll see you through
Think - Joan Osborne
You better think (THINK!)
Think about what you're trying to do to me
Think (THINK THINK)
Let your mind go. Let yourself go free
Let's go back let's go back let's go way on back when
I didn't even know you. You couldn't 'o been too much more than 10
I ain't no psychiatrist I ain't no doctor with degrees
But it don't take too much IQ to see what you're doin' to me
You better think (THINK!)
Think about what you're trying to do to me
Think (THINK THINK)
Let your mind go. Let yourself go free
Freedom (freedom), Freedom (freedom)
There ain't nothing you could ask I can answer what you want
But I was gonna change my mind if you keep doin' things I don't
You better think (THINK!)
Think about what you're trying to do to me
Think (THINK THINK)
Let your mind go. Let yourself go free
People walkin' 'round everyday planning games and taking scores
Tryin to make other people lose their minds well be careful you don't lose
yours
You better think (THINK!)
Think about what you're trying to do to me
Think (THINK THINK)
Let your mind go. Let yourself go free
You need me and I need you
Without each other there ain't nothing we can do
(vamp)
Oh Freedom (freedom) Freedom (freedom) . . .
There ain't nothing you could ask I can answer what you want
But I was gonna change my mind if you keep doin' things I don't
You better think (THINK!)
Think about what you're trying to do to me
Think (THINK THINK)
Let your mind go. Let yourself go free
You need me and I need you
Without each other there ain't nothing we can do
(vamp)
Freedom . . .
Think ! . . .

At the Hop - Danny The Juniors
Bah-bah-bah-bah, bah-bah-bah-bah
Bah-bah-bah-bah. bah-bah-bah-bah, at the hop!
Well, you can rock it you can roll it
You can stop and you can stroll it at the hop
When the record starts spinnin
You *chalypso* when you chicken at the hop
Do the dance sensation that is sweepin the nation at the hop
Ah, lets go to the hop
Lets go to the hop, (oh baby)
Lets go to the hop, (oh baby)
Lets go to the hop
Come on, lets go to the hop
Well, you can swing it you can groove it
You can really start to move it at the hop
Where the jockey is the smoothest
And the music is the coolest at the hop
All the cats and chicks can get their kicks at the hop
Lets go!
Lets go to the hop
Lets go to the hop, (oh baby)
Lets go to the hop, (oh baby)
Lets go to the hop
Come on, lets go to the hop
Lets go!
instrumental interlude
Well, you can rock it you can roll it
You can stop and you can stroll it at the hop
When the record starts spinnin
You *chalypso* when you chicken at the hop
Do the dance sensation that is sweepin the nation at the hop
You can swing it you can groove it
You can really start to move it at the hop
Where the jockey is the smoothest
And the music is the coolest at the hop.
All the cats and chicks can get their kicks at the hop.
Lets go!
Lets go to the hop
Lets go to the hop, (oh baby)
Lets go to the hop, (oh baby)
Lets go to the hop
Come on, lets go to the hop
