^^^ RIP Dan McCafferty - unique voice.......

… Over the past few years
To the traditional sounds of the English summer
The drone of lawnmowers
The smack of leather on willow

… Has been added a new noise
What were the skies like when you were young?
They went on forever and they, when I, we lived in Arizona
And the skies always had little fluffy clouds in them and, er
They were long and clear and

… There were lots of stars at night
And, er, when it would rain it would all turn, it, they were beautiful
The most beautiful skies, as a matter of fact
Uh, the sunsets were
Purple and red and yellow and on fire
And the clouds would catch the colors everywhere.....

Performed by The Orb, vocalisation by Rickie Lee Jones

[Canary42]

Red and yellow and pink and green
Purple and orange and blue
I can sing a rainbow
Sing a rainbow
Sing a rainbow too

From the Hotel Sheets in downtown Plunketville, the Comptikan Broadcasting Company presents the music of Pete DeAngelis and His Loyal Plunketvillevanians. Here in the beautiful gold, yellow, copper, steel, iron ballroom at the Hotel Sheets in downtown Plunketville, overlooking the uptown section of downtown Pottstown. Stay with us, won't you, and enjoy the sweetest music this side of the Monongahela River. One mile high, two and a half blocks from the center of old New Orleans. Ah, there's gaiety, merriment and dancing in the Hotel Sheets nightly. Now to get things underway, Pete and His Loyal Banditos play a medley of old standard favorites commencing with:-

Your Red Scarf Matches Your Eyes,
Close Cover Before Striking,
Your Father Had The Shipfitter Blues,
And Loving You Has Made Me Bananas.

This beautiful picture and lovely lyric portrayed vocally by Dickie Ryan.

Oh, your red scarf matches your eyes........

When I look in your eyes
You're all I ever wanted
I always want you to be mine
Let's make a promise
Till the end of time
We'll always be together
And our love will never die

So, here we are face to face and heart to heart
I want you to know we will never be apart
Now, I believe that wishes can come true
'Cause I see my whole world
I see only you

Promised you a miracle
Belief is a beauty thing
Promises, promises
As golden days break wondering

as love takes a train
Summer breeze and brilliant light
Only love she sees, he controls on love
Love sails to a new life

Promised you a miracle
Belief is a beauty thing
Promises, promises
As golden days break wondering

Only love she sees, he controls on love
Life mirrors a cure, everything is possible
With promises, everything is possible, no!

I promised you a miracle.....

But now and then
Miracles still happen
Oh, I know they do
'Cause I found you

[mushroom25]

I searched for love before
For a love that I thought I couldn't find
I searched day in and day out
For the one that was mine all mine

I played around with love before
I was silly and you know that I played the fool
But then you came into my life and you changed it
Cause I know what I want and where it's at Yeah

I found lovin'
Since I found you
I'm in love with you
I found lovin'
Since I found you
I'm in love with you
I found lovin'

My sun rises on your face
When I see that certain glow
But picture that's so bright you're my delight
And that's why I love you so

[Hazlinny]

I love you because my heart is lighter
Every time I'm walking by your side
I love you because the future's brighter
The door to happiness, you open wide

No matter what the world may say about me
I know your love will always see me through
I love you for a hundred thousand reasons
But most of all I love you cause you're you...

In the dark of night
By my side
In the dark of night
By my side
I wish you were

INXS. Thank you Hazi and a Merry Christmas to you Xx

[Hazlinny]

On the day that you were born, the angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moon dust in your hair of gold
And starlight in your eyes of blue


That is why all the girls in town (Girls in town)
Follow you (Follow you) all around (All around)
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you
Just like me (Just like me), they long to be
Close to you

Carpenters

Stay with me
My love, I hope you'll always be
Right here by my side if ever I need you
Oh, my love

In your arms
I feel so safe and so secure
And everyday is such a perfect day to spend
Alone with you

I will follow you, will you follow me?
All of the days and nights that we know will be
I will stay with you, will you stay with me?
Just one single tear in each passing year

Lyrics

All my bags are packed
I'm ready to go
I'm standin' here outside your door
I hate to wake you up to say goodbye
But the dawn is breakin'
It's early morn
The taxi's waitin'
He's blowin' his horn
Already I'm so lonesome
I could die

So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go
'Cause I'm leavin' on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go

John Denver

[Arksided]

Now I won't stop you from leaving 'cause I know
The way to keep you would be to let you go
And I'm prepared to wait a thousand years or more
It's a love worth waiting for

If you should leave me, oh, please remember me
In my heart there's a fire a flame of desire for your charms

Shaky

[mushroom25]

Makin' my way downtown
Walkin' fast
Faces pass
And I'm homebound

Starin' blankly ahead
Just makin' my way, makin' a way
Through the crowd

And I need you
And I miss you
And now I wonder

If I could fall into the sky
Do you think time
Would pass me by?
'Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you
Tonight.........

Vanessa Carlton

Sing a song and light up the lights
We need to make this Christmas bright
Hang your favorite dream on a star
Wish upon it Christmas night
Sing about the better things
The friends we have, the joy they dream
Hang a dream upon a star and wish it Christmas night
Peace on earth we dream for the world
Time to love and time to share
We can wish for love in the world
Time to give and time to care

[maggiebee]

When you wish upon a star
Makes no difference who you are
Anything your heart desires
Will come to you

If your heart is in your dream
No request is too extreme
When you wish upon a star
As dreamers do

[mushroom25]

Dreamer, you know you are a dreamer
Well, can you put your hands in your head? Oh no!
I said, dreamer, you're nothing but a dreamer
Well, can you put your hands in your head? Oh no!

I said, "far out, what a day, a year, a life it is!"
You know, well, you know you had it comin' to you
Now there's not a lot I can do

Dreamer, you stupid little dreamer
So, now you put your head in your hands, oh no!
Woo!

Hodgson, performed by Supertramp

[Hazlinny]

I dreamed a dream in time gone by
When hope was high and life worth living
I dreamed that love would never die
I dreamed that God would be forgiving

Now everything's cool, Drac's a part of the band
And my Monster Mash is the hit of the land
For you, the living, this Mash was meant too
When you get to my door, tell them Boris sent you

then you can Monster Mash
(The Monster Mash) and do my graveyard smash
(Then you can Mash) you'll catch on in a flash
(Then you can Mash) then you can Monster Mash

Mash good!
Easy, Igor, you impetuous, young boy
Mash good! (Monster Mash)....
