[Dusty Springfield cover]
It isn't the way that you look And it isn't the way that you talk It isn't the things that you say or do Make me want you so It is nothing to do with the wine Or the music that's flooding my mind But never before have I been so sure You're the someone I dreamed I would find It's the way you make me feel The moment I am close to you It's a feeling so unreal Somehow I can't believe it's true The pounding I feel in my heart The hoping that we'll never part I can't believe this is really happening to me I close my eyes and count to ten And when I open them you're still here I close my eyes and count again I can't believe it but you're still here We were strangers a moment ago With a few dreams but nothing to show The world was a place With a frown on its face And tomorrow was just, I don't know But the way you make me feel The moment I am close to you Makes today seem so unreal Somehow I can't believe it's true Tomorrow will you still be here? Tomorrow will come but I fear That what is happening to me Is only a dream I close my eyes and count to ten And when I open them you're still here I close my eyes and count again I can't believe it but you're still here I close my eyes and count to ten And when I open them you're still here |

[Al Stewart cover]
The subway station's closed again Sleeps beneath its veil of rain My footprints broken trail behind Steals the nightlights from my mind The dark deserted streets then clear Today has lived and died in here So I leave the chapel gloom To find the shelter of my tiny room But it's alright while the lights of the city shine so bright It's all right till the last winding train fades from sight Then alone in my room I must stay to lose or win While these wild bedsitter images come back to hem me in The panneled patens (patterns?) on the door Chase shivering shadows to the floor Upon the pillow worn and thin The memories of hopes begin The carpet with its flowers and shredding Spires a foot before my bed The crack that won't return again Advancing through my broken window pane But it's alright while the lights of the city shine so bright It's all right till the last winding train fades from sight Then alone in my room I must stay to lose or win While these wild bedsitter images come back to hem me in The friends I've left back home all write With laughing words that warm my sight Saying "Tell us, how's the city life?" I reply and say just fine (why?) And so you see I can't go back Until I either win or crack I'm standing in a one way street The stage is set The story incomplete But it's alright while the lights of the city shine so bright It's all right till the last winding train fades from sight Then alone in my room I must stay to lose or win While these wild bedsitter images come back to hem me in |

[David Bowie cover]
Cow bell strikes another night Your eyes are heavy and your limbs all ache You've bought some coffee, butter and bread You can't make a thing cause the meter's dead You moved away Hold your folks you're gonna stay away Bright lights, Soho, Wardour street You hope you make friends with the guys that you meet Somebody shows you round Now you've met the London boys Things seem good again, someone cares about you Oh, the first time that you tried a pill You feel a little queasy, decidedly ill You're gonna be sick, but you mustn't lose faith To let yourself down would be a big disgrace With the London boys, with the London boys You're only seventeen, but you think you've grown In the month you've been away from your parents' home You take the pills too much You don't give a damn about that jobs you've got So long as you're with the London boys A London boy, oh a London boy Your flashy clothes are your pride and joy A London boy, a London boy You're crying out loud that you're a London boy You think you've had a lot of fun But you ain't got nothing, you're on the run It's too late now, cause you're out there boy You've got it made with the rest of the toys Now you wish you'd never left your home You've got what you wanted but you're on your own With the London boys Now you've met the London boys (3 times) |

[Fran Landesman cover]
Sing a song of sad young man Glasses full of rye All the news is bad again so Kiss your dreams goodbye All the sad young men Sitting in the bars Knowing neon nights Missing all the stars All the sad young men Drifting through the town Drinking up the night Trying not to drown All the sad young men Singing in the cold Trying to forget That they're growing old All the sad young men Choking on their worth Trying to be brave Running from the truth Autumm turns the leaves to gold Slowly dies the heart Sad young men are growing old That's the cruelest part All the sad young men Seek a certain smile Someone they can hold for a little while Tired little girl does the best she can Trying to be gay for her sad young man While the grimy moon Watches from above All the sad young men Play of making love Misbegotten moon Shine for sad young men Let your gentle light Guide them home tonight All the sad young men |

I had a dream Oh what a dream I saw the shape Of things to come Then I awoke It was no joke I'd seen the shape Of things to come. Kitsch is a beautiful word It's a beautiful word It's a beautiful lullabye. I saw a queen All dressed in green But I could see She had no soul I see the moon Shining in June What we all need Is Rock and Roll. Kitsch is a beautiful word It's a beautiful word It's a beautiful lullabye. Old plastic macs And caddilacs Prawn cocktails Steak And lovely wine Just do your thing And we'll all sing So here we go Now take your time. Kitsch is a beautiful word It's a beautiful word It's a beautiful lullabye. |

A thousand hands applaud tonight I sing my songs my star shines bright I stop and smile, I take by bow I leave the stage and then somehow Backstage I'm lonely Backstage I cry You've gone away and each night I seem to die a little Out on that stage I play the star I'm famous now I've come so far A famous fool I let love go I didn't know I'd miss you so Backstage I'm lonely Backstage I cry Hating myself since I let you say goodbye Every night a different girl Every night a different club And yet I'm lonely all the time When I sign my autograph When I hold an interview Can't get you out of my mind Come back my love Come back to me I need you now so desperately What good is fame it's just a game I'd give it all to be the same Backstage I wait now hoping I'll see Your smiling face waiting there backstage for me Your smiling face waiting there backstage for me Backstage, Backstage |

There's a certain sound always follows me around When you're close to me you will hear it It's the sound that lovers hear when they discover There could be no other for their love CHORUS It's my happy heart you hear Singing loud and singing clear And it's all because you're near me, my love Take my happy heart away Let me love you night and day In your arms I wanna stay, oh my love Feeling more and more like I've never felt before You have changed my life so completely Music fills my soul now, I've lost all control now I'm not half, I'm whole now with your love CHORUS Repeat CHORUS with "La-la's" Repeat CHORUS with "La-la's" and FADE |

Don't miss the me I used to be
Don't miss the wild depravity Perfumes and powders in my nose The feeling of those leather clothes The me that I was I never lost, just took a little time to see Don't miss the places that I've been Don't miss the people that I've seen The making love on [????] While planning revolutions, breaking resolutions And now it all seems like a dream There's a hammer, hear some voices singing Bells are ringing in the still of the night I want that music to soothe all my bruises Turn darkness into light I need some beautyin my life I'm tired of trouble, tired of strive To dig for diamonds, dive for pearls Beauty will redeem the Beauty will redeem the world There were times I would've been outrageous There were moments, it seemed too [???] I danced my way through subterranean sellers Chasing stars up alley ways [???] doorways Covered in glitter Falling in and out of clubs and bars It's not too far to fall to the gutter from the stars There's a hammer, hear some voices singing Bells are ringing in the still of the night I want that music to soothe all my bruises Turn darkness into light I need some beautyin my life I'm tired of trouble, tired of strive To dig for diamonds, dive for pearls Beauty will redeem me I need some beautyin my life I'm tired of trouble, tired of strive To dig for diamonds, dive for pearls Beauty will redeem the world Beauty will redeem the world Beauty will redeem me Beauty will redeem me Beauty will redeem me Redeem me Don't miss the me I used to be It takes the strangest things to see But in my heart, I'm the same man The me I was, the me I am |

[Sol Weinstein cover,
Sung by Bobby Darin - 1963] Off comes the makeup, off comes the clown's disguise The curtain's falling, the music softly dies But I hope you're smiling as you're filing out the door As they say in this biz that's all there is, there isn't any more We've shared our moment, and as the moment ends I've got a funny feeling we're parting now as friends Your cheers and laughter will linger After they've torn down these dusty walls If I had this to do again And the evening were new again I would spend it with you again But now the curtain falls People say I was made for this Nothing else would I trade for this And just think I get paid for this Good night, Ladies and Gentlemen and God love you |
