And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite simple but now that it’s done
I hope you don’t mind
I hope you don’t mind
That I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you’re in the world
Elton
We go to a party and everyone turns to see,
This beautiful lady that’s walking around with me.
And then she asks me, “Do you feel all right?”
And I say, “Yes, I feel wonderful tonight”

When I catch Alfonso Spigoni the Toreador, tralala boom boom, tralala boom boom
With one mighty swipe I will dislocate his bally jaw, tralala etc
When I catch that bull fighter the blighter I’ll kill
He shall die, he shall die, he shall die tildlyee itie tie tie tie tie tie tie
He shall die, he shall die… ie
For I’ll raise a bunion on his Spanish onion when I catch him bending tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight!
The Spaniard That Blighted My Life. Al Jolson
Toreador-a,
Don’t spit on the floor-a.
Use the cuspidor-a,

Conquistador your stallion stands in need of company
And like some angel’s haloed brow
You reek of purity
Procul Harum
In the arms of the angel
Fly away from here
From this dark, cold hotel room
And the endlessness that you fear
Angel, Sarah Mclachlan
Cast adrift from past relationships in her life
Hoisted up the ideal, this was her saving grace
Seas of rage that once assailed her concern for the truth
Had passed her by and left her high and dry
In her saviour’s arms
Enigma of the Absolute, Dead Can Dance
Amazing Grace! How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found
Was blind, but now I see.
Traditional
Blinded by the light
Revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night
Blinded by the light
Revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night

I saw the light, I saw the light
No more darkness, no more night
Now I’m so happy no sorrow in sight
Praise the Lord I saw the light
Hank Williams
There’s a light over at the Frankenstein place.
RHPS
He’s the hairy handed gent who ran amuck in Kent
Lately he’s been overheard in Mayfair
Better stay away from him
He’ll rip your lungs out, Jim
I’d like to meet his tailor

Hey there, Little Red Riding Hood,
You sure are looking good.
You’re everything a Big Bad Wolf could want.

Oh, I asked her for water, she brought me gasoline
Oh, I asked her for water, she brought me gasoline
That’s the troublingest woman, that I ever seen
I Asked For Water (She Gave Me Gasoline). Howlin’ Wolf
I am woman, hear me roar
In numbers too big to ignore
And I know too much to go back an’ pretend.
'Cause I’ve heard it all before
And I’ve been down there on the floor
No one’s ever gonna keep me down again.
Helen Reddy (1941-2020 … RIP) - I Am Woman
And when one of us is gone,
and one of us is left to carry on
Then remembering will have to do
Our Memories alone will get us through
Think about the days of me and you,
You and Me Against the World
Helen Reddy
I’ll be your candle on the water
My love for you will always burn
I know you’re lost and drifting,
But the clouds are lifting
Don’t give up you have somewhere to turn.
Helen Reddy
Little sisters of the sun lit
candles in the rain
fed the world on oats and raisins
candles in the rain
lit the fire to the soul
who never knew his friend
Meher Baba lives again
candles in the rain
to be there is to remember
lay it down again
Melanie Candles in the Rain
Ever since I could remember, I have known
That children, by candle light,
Have seen a shadow on the wall
And have chased it all night through.
This shadow, I liken it
To this world and yesterday.
Delerium, Aria
