1.2 - Far Far Away
Slade

I've seen the yellow lights go down the Mississippi
I've seen the bridges of the world and they're for real
I've had a red light of the wrist
Without me even gettin' kissed
It still seems so unreal

I've seen the morning in the mountains of Alaska
I've seen the sunset in the east and in the west
I've sang the glory that was Rome
And passed the hound dog singer's home
It still seems for the best

And I'm far far away with my head up in the clouds
And I'm far far away with my feet down in the crowds
Lettin' loose around the world
But the call of home is loud still as loud

I've seen the Paris lights from high upon Montmartre
And felt the silence hanging low in no mans land
And all those Spanish nights were fine
It wasn't only from the wine
It still seems all in hand

And I'm far far away with my head up in the clouds
And I'm far far away with my feet down in the crowds
Lettin' loose around the world
But the call of home is loud still as loud

And I'm far far away with my head up in the clouds
And I'm far far away with my feet down in the crowds
And I'm far far away
But the sound of home is loud still as loud

1.3 - Swinging On A Star
Spooky And Sue

Would you like to swing on a star
Carry moonbeams home in a jar
And be better off than you are
Or would you rather be a mule

A mule is an animal with long funny ears
He Kicks up at anything he hears
His back is brawny but his brain is weak
He's just plain stupid with a stubborn streak
And by the way, if you hate to go to school
You may grow up to be a mule

Would you like to swing on a star
Carry moonbeams home in a jar
And be better off than you are
Or would you rather be a pig

A pig is an animal with dirt on his face
His shoes are a terrible disgrace
He has no manners when he eats his food
He's fat and lazy and extremely rude
But if you don't care a feather or a fig
You may grow up to be a pig

Would you like to swing on a star
Carry moonbeams home in a jar
And be better off than you are
We could be swingin on a start
We could be swingin on a start

1.5 - Your Baby Ain’t Your Baby
Paul Da Vinci

Ain't your babe, ain't your baby
Ain't your babe, ain't your babe
Ain't your babe, ain't your baby
Ain't your babe, ain't your babe

Take my hand don't be so sad and lonely
Understand darling, although it hurts you it's over
And it's not like before
'Cos your baby ain't your baby anymore

Ain't your babe, ain't your baby
Ain't your babe, ain't your babe now

If you try you can forget your sorrow
Darling I'll make you so glad tomorrow it's over
He's not worth waiting for
'Cos your baby ain't your baby anymore

Ain't your babe, ain't your baby now
Ain't your babe, ain't your babe now
Ain't your babe, ain't your babe now
It’s over 'Cos your baby ain't your baby anymore

Love is blind forget your other lover
You will find, baby the second time around its better
So don't cry anymore
'Cos your baby ain't your baby anymore
And the love you found is stronger than before
'Cos your baby ain't your baby anymore

Ain't your babe, ain't your baby now
……………………………

1.6 - Sad Sweet Dreamer
Sweet Sensation

Sad sweet dreamer
It's just one of those things you put down to experience
Sad sweet dreamer
It's just one of those things you put down to experience

Ooh-wah-wah ooh-wah-wah ooh
Ooh-wah-wah ooh-wah-wah ooh

Been another blue day without you girl
Been another sad summer song
I've been thinking about you girl
All night long

Been another sad tear on my pillow
Been another memory to tell me you're the one girl
I've been thinking about you girl
All night long

Sad sweet dreamer
It's just one of those things you put down to experience

Was so happy when I found you
But how was I to know?
That you would leave me walking down that road.....

Been another hard luck story
Been another man who thought that he was oh so strong
I've been thinking about you girl
All night long

Sad sweet dreamer
It's just one of those things you put down to experience
Sad sweet dreamer
It's just one of those things you put down to experience
Sad sweet dreamer
It's just one of those things you put down to experience
Sad sweet dreamer
It's just one of those things you put down to experience

Cats

Ah rock me from the bay of Mexico
I row me to the shores of Montego bay.
I met a lady please let me stay.
Here in your warm brown arms
Till I melt away.

Be my day
Honey be my night.
If I drift away
Honey be my light.
Shine on let your light shine on.
And I will sail on home.
Shine on let your light shine on
And I will sail on home.

Sing a la la la
And I sing hey
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
And I will sail on home

Sing a la la la
And I sing hey
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
And I will sail on home

Sing a la la la
And I sing hey
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
And I will sail on home

Rubettes

Tonight won't be like any night
Tonight the stars up in the sky
Will be shining for me and my baby tonight

Tonight we'll climb the highest height
Just talking till the morning light
Me and my baby tonight
Tonight

Tonight was made for me and my baby
To hold each other so tight
And all the darkness will fade away
The light in your eyes tonight

Tonight won't be like any night
Tonight the stars up in the sky
Will be shining for me and my baby tonight

Tonight we'll climb the highest height
Just talking till the morning light
Me and my baby tonight
Tonight

Tonight was made for me and my baby
To hold each other so tight
And all the darkness will fade away
The light in your eyes tonight

Tonight the stars up in the sky
Will be shining for me and my baby tonight

Tonight we'll climb the highest height
Just talking till the morning light
Me and my baby tonight
Oh Tonight

2.1 - Kung Fu Fighting
Carl Douglas

Everybody was kung-fu fighting
Those cats were fast as lightning
In fact it was a little bit frightning
But they fought with expert timing

They were funky China men from funky Chinatown
They were chopping them up and they were chopping them down
It's an ancient Chinese art and everybody knew their part
From a feint into a slip, and a kicking from the hip

Everybody was kung-fu fighting
Those cats were fast as lightning
In fact it was a little bit frightning
But they fought with expert timing

There was funky Billy Chin and little Sammy Chung
He said here comes the big boss, let’s get it on
We took a bow and made a stand, started swinging with the hand
The sudden motion made me skip now we're into a brand knew trip

Everybody was kung-fu fighting
Those cats were fast as lightning
In fact it was a little bit frightning
Make sure you have expert timing

Kung-fu fighting, had to be fast as lightning

2.2 - Dirty Ol’ Man
Three Degrees

Dirty
You are a dirty ol' man
You can't keep your hands to yourself.
You are a dirty ol' man
Go mess around with somebody else.

That I've done told you
You can look but please don't touch.
Cause you don't understand what I mean
Can't you see I'm not old enough.
You say that ain't, ain't nothing but a number-number
You're much too experienced for me.
Oh all you wanna do is take my love
AII you want is another victory.

Dirty ol' man
You can't keep your hands to yourself.
You are a dirty ol' man
Go mess around with somebody else.

Next time you see me
You can speak but please don't stuck
Cause I believed every word you said
And here I am with a broken heart.
You won your game now
Don't waste it on a date
No cause you're a married man
And I'm still free.
Oh all you wanna do is take my love
AII you want is another victory.

Dirty ol' man
You can't keep your hands to yourself.
Dirty ol' man
Go mess around with somebody else.
Dirty ol' man
Dirty ol' man

2.6 - Such A Night
Ricky Gordon

It was a night
Oo what a night it was, it really was
Such a night
The moon was bright
Oo how bright it was it really was
Such a night
The night was alive
With the stars above
Oo when she kissed
I had to fall in love.

Oo it was a kiss
Oo what a kiss it was, it really was
Such a kiss
How she could kiss
Oo what a kiss it was, it really was
Such a kiss
Just the part of her lips sets me in fire
I reminisce, I'm filled with desire.

But I gave my heart to her in sweet surrender (doo wah, doo wah)
Oh how I remember! (Doo wah, doo wah)
I'll always remember... (Doo wah, doo wah)

Oo that night
Oo what a night it was, it really was
Such a night
Came the dawn
And my heart and her love and the night were gone
But I'll never forget her kiss in the moonlight
Oo such a kiss
Such a night

What a night
Oo what a night it was, it really was
Such a night
Came the dawn
And my heart and her love and the night were gone
But I know I'll never forget her kiss in the moonlight
Oh I remember!
I'll always remember

2.7 - It Keeps Right On A Hurting
Albert West

I cry myself to sleep each night
Wishing I could hold you tight
Life seems so empty since you went away
And the pillow where you lay your head
Now holds my empty dreams instead
And it keeps right on a-hurtin'
Since you're gone

It keeps right on a'hurtin every minute of the day
Every hour you're away I feel so lonely
And I can't help it, I don't think I can go on
And it keeps right on a-hurtin' since you're gone

It keeps right on a'hurtin every minute of the day
Every hour you're away I feel so lonely
And I can't help it, I don't think I can go on
And it keeps right on a-hurtin' since you're gone
Yes, it keeps right on a-hurtin' since you're gone

2.8 - Honey Honey
Abba

Honey honey, how you thrill me, ah-hah, honey honey
Honey honey, nearly kill me, ah-hah, honey honey
I'd heard about you before
I wanted to know some more
And now I know what they mean, you're a love machine
Oh, you make me dizzy

Honey honey, let me feel it, ah-hah, honey honey
Honey honey, don't conceal it, ah-hah, honey honey
The way that you kiss goodnight
(The way that you kiss me goodnight)
The way that you hold me tight
(The way that you're holding me tight)
I feel like I wanna sing when you do your thing

I don't wanna hurt you, baby, I don't wanna see you cry
So stay on the ground, girl, you better not get too high
But I'm gonna stick to you, boy, you'll never get rid of me
There's no other place in this world where I rather would be

Honey honey, how you thrill me, ah-hah, honey honey
Honey honey, nearly kill me, ah-hah, honey honey
I heard about you before
I wanted to know some more
And now I know what they mean, you're a love machine

2.9 - Stuck In The Middle With You
Stealers Wheel

Well, I don’t know why I came here tonight,
I got the feeling that something ain’t right.
I’m so scared in case I fall off my chair,
And I’m wondering how I’ll get down the stairs.
Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right,
Here I am, stuck in the middle with you.

Yes, I’m stuck in the middle with you,
And I’m wondering what it is I should do.
It’s so hard to keep this smile from my face,
Losing control, yeah, I’m all over the place.
Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right,
Here I am, stuck in the middle with you.

Well, you started off with nothing,
And you’re proud that you’re a self-made man.
And your friends they all come crawlin’,
Slap you on the back and say, “Please, please.”

Trying to make some sense of it all,
But I can see it makes no sense at all.
Is it cool to go to sleep on the floor?
Well, I don't think I can take anymore.
Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right,
Here I am, stuck in the middle with you.

Well, you started out with nothing,
And you’re proud that you’re a self-made man.
And your friends they all come crawlin’,
Slap you on the back and say, “Please, please.”

Yeah, I don’t know why I came here tonight,
I got the feeling that something ain’t right,
I’m so scared in case I fall off my chair,
And I’m wondering how I’ll get down the stairs,
Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right,
Here I am, stuck in the middle with you.
Yes I’m, stuck in the middle with you,
Stuck in the middle with you,
Here I am, stuck in the middle with you

2.10 - Lady Of The Night
Donna Summer

They call her the lady of the night
She’s a woman of the world
And easy-living girl with love for sale

That’s what they call her the lady of the night
No one seems to know her name
And even less about the place
From where she came

Every evening when the night is close at hand
You’ll find the lady on the rue d’Avignon
In a half lit hotel doorway the lady advertises warmly
It’s just a job but she’ll do the best she can

Round here they call her the lady of the night
In a perfume hotel room
Shadows dance upon the wall and fate at dawn
She’s no beginner this lady of the night
Never try that funny stuff
’cause lady can be tough
Be warned!

(she is the lady of the night)
She’s a lot like you and me
(she is the lady of the night)
And never just what she seems
(she is the lady of the night)
No one seems to know her name
(she is the lady of the night)
Or the place from where she came
