puff the magic dragon lived by the sea
and frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called honalee.
little jackie paper loved that rascal puff,
and brought him strings and sealing wax and other fancy stuff.

puff the magic dragon lived by the sea
and froliced in the autumn mist in a land called honalee.
puff the magic dragon lived by the sea
and froliced in the autumn mist in a land called honalee.

together they would travel on a boat with billowed sail
jackie kept a lookout perched on puff's gigantic tail.
noble kings and princes would bow whene'er they came.
pirate ships would lower their flags when puff roared out his name.

puff the magic dragon lived by the sea
and frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called honalee.
puff the magic dragon lived by the sea
and frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called honalee.

a dragon lives forever but not so little boys,
painted wings and giant strings make way for other toys.
one grey night it happened, jackie paper came no more,
and puff that mighty dragon he ceased his fearless roar.

his head was bent in sorrow, green scales fell like rain,
puff no longer went to play along the cherry lane.
without his life-long friend, puff could not be brave,
so puff that mighty dragon sadly slipped into his cave.

puff the magic dragon lived by the sea
and frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called honalee.
puff the magic dragon lived by the sea
and frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called honalee.

Roxette - It Must Have Been Love

Lay a whisper on my pillow
Leave the winter on the ground
I wake up lonely, is there a silence
In the bedroom and all around

Touch me now, I close my eyes
And dream away...

It must have been love, but it's over now
It must have been good, but I lost it somehow
It must have been love, but it's over now
From the moment we touched till the time had run out

Make believing we're together
That I'm sheltered by your heart
But in and outside I turn to water
Like a teardrop in your palm

And it's a hard winter's day
I dream away...

It must have been love, but it's over now
It was all that I wanted, now I'm living without
It must have been love, but it's over now
It's where the water flows, it's where the wind blows

It must have been love, but it's over now
It must have been good, but I lost it somehow
It must have been love, but it's over now
From the moment we touched till the time had run out

There's A Place In The World For A Gambler,
There's a burden that only he can bear,
There's a place in the world for a gambler,
And he sees...oh, yes he sees...
And he sees...oh, yes he sees...

There's a song in the heart of a woman,
That only the truest of loves can release
There's a song in the heart of a woman
Set it free...oh, set it free
Set it free...oh, set it free
Set it free...oh, set it free

There's a light in the depths of your darkness
There's a calm at the eye of every storm
There's a light in the depths of your darkness
Let it shine...oh, let it shine
Let it shine...oh, let it shine
Let it shine...oh, let it shine
Let it shine...

Lyrics for Song: I Want You To Live
Lyrics for Album: Somebody Wrote Love

When she got the news
The phone hit the floor
She fell to her knees and cried his name
He had just kissed her lips
And both of the kids
Their lives will never be the same
At the end of her hardest day
The only words she could say were

I want you to live, I want you to love
I wanna go back to the way it was
To hear you say my name again
I wanna see your smile again
I want you to live

Takes all of her strength to go through his things
It feels like she’s holdin’ him again
The letters he wrote the books that he’d read
and some of the shirts still have his scent
The picture in Florida
she holds to her heart and cries out loud

I want you to live, I want you to love
I wanna go back to the way it was
To hear you say my name again
I wanna see your smile again
I want you to live

Lying awake in the middle of the night
Trying not to let the kids hear her cry
She prays for answer or some little sign
She closes her eyes
and swears she
hears him say

I want you to live, I want you to love
I want you to go on and not give up
I want you to live, I want you to try
I want you to know that I’m alright
I want you to fall in love again
I wanna see you smile again and again
I want you to live

on a lighter note...
 

PROPANE

by Dennis Hoaglin


(SUNG TO THE TUNE OF "COCAINE" AND TO THE

ACCOMPANIMENT OF AIR GUITAR)

If you wanna get chilled, blown up or killed -- PROPANE.

Forget the rules, act like a fool -- PROPANE.

Its a gas, its a gas, its a gas -- PROPANE.

If sprayed with this gas, it’ll freeze off your ass --- PROPANE

And if splashed in the face, you’ll be blinded and maced -- PROPANE

Wear the shield! Wear the gloves! Don’t be dumb! -- PROPANE

If you ain’t got no brain, try a smoke or a flame -- PROPANE.

A bad way to die, you can kiss it good-bye -- PROPANE.

Don’t get hurt, don’t get burnt, be alert -- PROPANE.

A tank overfilled is a bomb that can kill -- PROPANE.

When you see a white puff, the tank’s had enough -- PROPANE.

Shut it off, shut it off, shut it off! -- PROPANE.

When you fill up your truck don’t bet on your luck -- PROPANE.

Follow the rules if you wanna be cool -- PROPANE!

Its a gas, its a gas, its a gas -- PROPANE.

I try to discover
A little something to make me sweeter
Oh baby refrain from breaking my heart
Im so in love with you
Ill be forever blue
That you give me no reason
Why youre making me work so hard

That you give me no
That you give me no
That you give me no
That you give me no

Soul, I hear you calling
Oh baby please give a little respect to me

And if I should falter
Would you open your arms out to me
We can make love not war
And live at peace in our hearts
Im so in love with you
Ill be forever blue
What religion or reason
Could drive a man to forsake his lover

Dont you tell me no
Dont you tell me no
Dont you tell me no
Dont you tell me no

Soul, I hear you calling
Oh baby please give a little respect to me

Im so in love with you
Ill be forever blue
That you give me no reason
You know youre making me work so hard

That you give me no
That you give me no
That you give me no
That you give me no

Soul, I hear you calling
Oh baby please give a little respect to me

Soul, I hear you calling
Oh baby please give a little respect to me

Iris by the Goo Goo Dolls

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

And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything feels like the movies
Yeah you bleed just to know you're alive

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

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

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

I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am

Cocaine Cowgirl - Matt Mays & El Torpedo

Looking back, through the chapters of your life
Searching for a storyline
Cuz the one you're leading now is doing nothing for you
Say goodbye to your friends and the ones who love you
Moving on

JJ's song has been pushing you along
Gypsy man on a one night stand
Moving to the night far from the lights
On an asphalt path drifting over the white line
Gypsy man nobody knows

Cocaine cowgirl, she's out catching eyes
On the other end of the desert sky
Taking you down to the dark side of town
A dark side of town
Cocaine cowgirl nobody knows

Looking back, through the chapters of your life
Searching for a storyline

Cuz any line is a good time for you
Living what the World's been writing for you
Cocaine cowgirl nobody knows

Cuz any line is a good time for you
Living what the world has written for you
Gypsy man nobody knows

Cuz any line is a good time for you
Living what the world has written for you
Cocaine cowgirl nobody knows

And old fave from Sam Cooke



Darling you send me
I know you send me
Darling you send me
Honest you do, honest you do
Honest you do, whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

You thrill me
I know you, you, you thrill me
Darling you, you, you, you thrill me
Honest you do

At first I thought it was infatuation
But woo, it's lasted so long
Now I find myself wanting
To marry you and take you home
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

You, you, you, you send me
I know you send me
I know you send me
Honest you do

Whoa-oh-oh, whenever I'm with you
I know, I know, I know when I'm near you
Mmm hmm, mmm hmm, honest you do, honest you do
Whoa-oh-oh, I know-oh-oh-oh

I know, I know, I know, when you hold me
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh, whenever you kiss me
Mmm hmm, mmm hmm, honest you do

At first I thought it was infatuation
But woo, it's lasted so long
Now I find myself wanting
To marry you and take you home

I know, I know, I know, you send me
I know you send me
Whoa-oh-oh-oh, you you you you send me
Honest you do

great song^^^

this is one from big, big world. it's a show the boy and i like to watch.

the curve of the world.

from the distance i can see
a world that is for everyone
i can hear
a dawning that has just begun
and everywhere i go
i see creatures that are big and small
all within the curve of the world


the curve of the world is blue and green and green and blue
gre-e-en and blue
the curve of the world is for you and me and me and you
me-e-e and you


we can see
a world that is for everyone
we can hear
a dawning that has just begun
and everywhere we go
we see creatures that are big and small
all within the curve of the world

all within the curve of the world

you and me and the curve of the world

A bottle of white, a bottle of red
Perhaps a bottle of rose instead
We'll get a table near the street
In our old familiar place
You and I--face to face

A bottle of red, a bottle of white
It all depends on your appetite
I'll meet you any time you want
In our Italian Restaurant.

Things are okay with me these days
Got a good job, got a good office
Got a new wife, got a new life
And the family's fine
We lost touch long ago
You lost weight
I did not know
You could ever look so good after
So much time.

I remember those days hanging out
At the village green
Engineer boots, leather jackets
And tight blue jeans
Drop a dime in the box play the
Song about New Orleans
Cold beer, hot lights
My sweet romantic teenage nights

Brenda and Eddie were the popular steadies
And the king and the queen of the prom
Riding around with the car top down and the radio on
Nobody looked any finer
Or was more of a hit at the Parkway Diner
We never knew we could want more than that out of life
Surely Brenda and Eddie would always know how to survive.

Brenda and Eddie were still going steady in the summer of '75
When they decided the marriage would be at the end of July
Everyone said they were crazy
"Brenda you know you're much too lazy
Eddie could never afford to live that kind of life."
But there we were wavin' Brenda and Eddie goodbye.

They got an apartment with deep pile carpet
And a couple of paintings from Sears
A big waterbed that they bought with the bread
They had saved for a couple of years
They started to fight when the money got tight
And they just didn't count on the tears.

They lived for a while in a very nice style
But it's always the same in the end
They got a divorce as a matter of course
And they parted the closest of friends
Then the king and the queen went back to the green
But you can never go back there again.

Brenda and Eddie had had it already
By the summer of '75
From the high to the low
To the end of the show
For the rest of their lives
They couldn't go back to the greasers
The best they could do was pick up the pieces
We always knew they would both find a way to get by
That's all I heard about Brenda and Eddie
Can't tell you more than I told you already
And here we are wavin' Brenda and Eddie goodbye.

A bottle of red, and bottle of white
Whatever kind of mood you're in tonight
I'll meet you anytime you want
In our Italian Restaurant.

Can't Stop Running

Time marches on
I learn to crawl, I learn to walk
You couldn't stop me from running
Stop me from running
Before I heard my name
Before I learned to talk
I knew I was running to something
Running to something
Into the arms of my god

Time marches on
And I awaken to the world
And I'm still running to something
Running to something far away
Unseen by the others in the herd
I'm only running to something
Running to something
Into the arms of my dream

I can't stop running
I can't stop running
I have a vision of myself breaking the finish line string
I still can hear it
This dream is calling
So I'll keep running

Time marches on
I start to trip, I start to fall
And now I'm running from something
Running from something on my tail
Can't turn to look, can't hear the call
I'm only running from something
Running from something
Running in fear I will fail

Meanwhile
Time marches on and on
And the strength to run may soon be gone
Now I watch the young ones coming
And it's on their legs I'm running
Into the arms of my god

Can you hear it? Can you hear it?
Feet don't fail me now

gracie fields or eileen barton, take your pick


If I knew you were comin' I'd've baked a cake, baked a cake, baked a cake
If I knew you were comin' I'd've baked a cake
Howdya do, howdya do, howdya do?

Had you dropped me a letter, I'd a-hired a band, grandest band in the land
Had you dropped me a letter, I'd a-hired a band
And spread the welcome mat for you

Oh, I don't know where you came from
'cause I don't know where you've been
But it really doesn't matter
Grab a chair and fill your platter
And dig, dig, dig right in

If I knew you were comin' I'd've baked a cake, hired a band, goodness sake!
If I knew you were comin' I'd've baked a cake
Howdya do, howdya do, howdya do?

If I knew you were comin' I'd've baked a cake, baked a cake, baked a cake
If I knew you were comin' I'd've baked a cake
Howdya do, howdya do, howdya do?

Had you dropped me a letter, I'd a-hired a band, grandest band in the land
Had you dropped me a letter, I'd a-hired a band
Spread the welcome mat for you

Oh, I don't know where you came from
'cause I don't know where you've been
But it really doesn't matter
Grab a chair and fill your platter
And dig, dig, dig right in

If I knew you were comin' I'd've baked a cake, hired a band, goodness sake!
If I knew you were comin' I'd've baked a cake
Howdya do, howdya do, howdya do?

Howdya do, howdya do, howdya do?
Howdya do-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Across the Universe
 

Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup,
They slither while they pass, they slip away across the universe.
Pools of sorrow waves of joy are drifting through my opened mind,
Possessing and caressing me.

Jai Guru De Va Om
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world.
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world.

Images of broken light which dance before me like a million eyes,
They call me on and on across the universe,
Thoughts meander like a restless wind
Inside a letter box they
Tumble blindly as they make their way
Across the universe

Jai Guru De Va Om
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world.
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world.

Sounds of laughter shades of life are ringing
Through my open ears inciting and inviting me.
Limitless undying love which shines around me like a million suns,
Ands calls me on and on across the universe

Jai Guru De Va Om
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world.
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world.

Jai Guru De Va
Jai Guru De Va
Jai Guru De Va
Jai Guru De Va

Bony Moronie
The Who

I got a girl named bony moronie
She's as skinny as a stick of macaroni
I see her rock and roll with her blue jeans on
Not very fat, just skin and bones

I love her, and she loves me
Boy, how happy we can be
Makin love underneath the apple tree

My one and only, she's my hearts desire
She's a real upsetter, she's a real live wire
Gonna get married on a night in june
Rock and roll by the light of the silvery moon

I love her, and she loves me
Boy, how happy we can be
Makin love underneath the apple tree

Told her mama and her papa too
Just exactly what we're gonna do
We're gonna get married in a night in june
To rock and roll in the light of the silvery moon

I love her, and she loves me
Boy, how happy we can be
Makin love underneath the apple tree
