A King At Nightfall ~ Pete Atkin
The ring hangs on a string inside your shirt You wedge the stable door You eat your beans and bunk down in the straw A king at nightfall
You're gonna have to learn to live with this As you work or beg your way towards the border And shade your face to miss The multiplying eyes of the new order
You spun the crown away into a ditch And saw the water close The army that you fed now feeds the crows A king at nightfall
You're gonna have to watch your manners now And never let your face show what you're missing Don't wait for them to bow Stick out your hand for shaking, not for kissing
Tomorrow's men who trace you from the field Will be in it for the bread There'll be a price on your anointed head A king at nightfall
You're gonna have to learn how quick to run And that means slowly, watching all the angles Don't try to use that gun Stay very loose and cool, and out of tangles
You reach to brush your collar free of straw And then you feel the string There's light enough for one look at the ring And it's lovely but it doesn't mean a thing A king at nightfall A king at nightfall
next word................tangles

Foolish Games ~ Jewel
you took your coat off and stood in the rain, you were always crazy like that I watched from my window, always felt I was outside looking in on you you were always the mysterious one with dark eyes and careless hair, you were fashionably sensitive, but too cool to care then you stood in my doorway, with nothing to say besides some comment on the weather well in case you failed to notice, in case you failed to see, this is my heart bleeding before you, this is me down on my knees
these foolish games are tearing me apart you thoughtless words are breaking my heart you're breaking my heart next word: GAMES

Pavement Cracks ~ Annie Lennox
The city streets are wet again with rain But I'm walkin' just the same Skies turn to the usual grey When you turn to face the day And love don't show up in the pavement cracks All my water colours fade to black I'm goin' nowhere and I'm ten steps back All my dreams have fallen flat
(Love don't show in the pavement cracks There will be no turning back)
Time and space will pass us by and by When we don't see eye to eye I would have done anything For happiness to bring ... But it don't show up in the pavement cracks I can't even cover up my tracks I'm goin' nowhere and I'm light years back Ooh I wish you well
next word: SPACE Thanks Siren I love Norah. She has a great voice.

I've had this song stuck in my head since Siren posted "everlasting", but I only remembered one line from it, something about "an everlasting love" from the eighties, I think. I could hear the singers so perfectly in my head singing, "an everlasting love". Almost impossible to two minute drill; just too many songs with the same name, but I think this is the one that's still stuck in my head.
Everlasting Love ~ Howard Jones
He wasn't looking for a pretty face She wasn't searching for the latest style He didn't want someone who walked straight off the TV She needed someone with an interior smile
She wasn't looking for a cuddle in the back seat He wasn't looking for a five minute thrill She wasn't thinking of tomorrow or of next week This vacancy he meant to permanently fill
I need an everlasting love I need a friend and a lover divine An everlasting precious love Wait for it, wait for it, give it some time
Back in the world of disposable emotion In the climate of temporary dreams He wasn't looking for a notch on his bedpost A love to push, pull and burst at the seams
This is love worth waiting for Something special, something pure
This is love worth waiting for Bitterness will die for sure Something special, something pure This is love worth waiting for
next word: vacancy

No Vacancy ~ Neil Sedaka
I'm livin' in a house on the other side of town They're makin' a highway so they're rippin' my buildin' down I gotta find a place, within a week Or else I'll be sleepin' out on the street Woe is me, I'm lookin' for a vacancy
All day long I'm walkin' 'round (no vacancy) Walkin' up and walkin' down (no vacancy) I've been searchin' 'round the town (no vacancy) No apartment to be found (no vacancy) On my dishwasher's pay (can't find a place to stay)
I found myself a place but the rent sure is a crime It's a cold water flat that was built in Lincoln's time The paint is peelin' right off of the wall Good golly, the bathroom is in the hall Woe is me, I'm lookin' for a vacancy
I could budget myself, scrimp and save to get along But it ain't no fun givin' up wine, women and song So I'll have a roof up above my head But under those conditions I would rather be dead Woe is me, I'm lookin' for a vacancy
All day long I'm walkin' 'round (no vacancy) Walkin' up and walkin' down (no vacancy) I've been searchin' 'round the town (no vacancy) No apartment to be found (no vacancy) On my dishwasher's pay (can't find a place to stay)
All day long I'm walkin' 'round (no vacancy) Oh, All day long I'm walkin' 'round (no vacancy) All day long I'm walkin' 'round (no vacancy) All day long I'm walkin' 'round (no vacancy) All day long I'm walkin' 'round (no vacancy)

She moved into my old APARTMENT That's how we got this whole thing started She called and said that I had MAIL waiting there for me
I told her that I'd come and get it How could I know in just a minute That I'd be standing face to face with my own destiny
Oh, how we sat there talking just like we were old friends Oh, then I asked her, "Can I see you again?" She said "Yes!" And I said "Wow!" She said "When?" and I said "How about right now?" Love can't wait Then I asked if she believed in fate And she said "Yes."

After The Goldrush ~ Neil Young
Well, I dreamed I saw the knights In armor coming, Saying something about a queen. There were peasants singing and Drummers drumming And the archer split the tree. There was a fanfare blowing To the sun That was floating on the breeze. Look at mother nature on the run In the nineteen seventies. Look at mother nature on the run In the nineteen seventies.
I was lying in a burned out basement With the full moon in my eyes. I was hoping for replacement When the sun burst thru the sky. There was a band playing in my head And I felt like getting high. I was thinking about what a Friend had said I was hoping it was a lie. Thinking about what a Friend had said I was hoping it was a lie.
Well, I dreamed I saw the silver Space ships flying In the yellow haze of the sun, There were children crying And colors flying All around the chosen ones. All in a dream, all in a dream The loading had begun. They were flying mother natures Silver seed to a new home in the sun. Flying mother natures Silver seed to a new home.
