MR. SANDMAN

 

The Chordettes

(music & lyrics: Pat Ballard)

 

Mister Sandman, bring me a dream

Make it the cutest that I've ever seen

Give her two lips like roses in clover

Then tell her that my lonesome nights are over

 

Mister Sandman, I'm so alone

Don't have nobody to call my own

Please turn on your magic beam

Mister Sandman, bring me a dream

 

Mister Sandman, bring me a dream

Make it the cutest that I've ever seen

Give her the word that I'm not a rover

Then tell her that my lonesome nights are over

 

Mister Sandman, I'm so alone

Don't have nobody to call my own

Please turn on your magic beam

Mister Sandman, bring me a dream

 

Mister Sandman, bring us a dream

Give her a pair of eyes with a congeal of gleam

Give her a lonely heart like Harlehatschi

And not so wavy hair like Liberatschi

 

Mister Sandman, someone to hold

Would be so peachy before we're to old

So please turn on your magic bean

Mister Sandman, brings us

Please, please, please

Mister Sandman, bring us a dream

Yeah...

 

 

 

 

SURFIN' U.S.A.

 

Beach Boys

(Chuck Berry/Brian Wilson)

 

 

If everybody had an ocean

Across the U. S. A.

Then everybody'd be surfin'

Like Californi-a

You'd seem 'em wearing their baggies

Huarachi sandals too

A bushy bushy blonde hairdo

Surfin' U. S. A.

 

You'd catch 'em surfin' at Del Mar

Ventura County line

Santa Cruz and Trestle

Australia's Narabine

All over Manhattan

And down Doheny Way

 

Everybody's gone surfin'

Surfin' U.S. A.

 

We'll all be planning that route

We're gonna take real soon

We're waxing down our surfboards

We can't wait for June

We'll all be gone for the summer

We're on surfari to stay

Tell the teacher we're surfin'

Surfin' U. S. A.

 

Haggerties and Swamies

Pacific Palisades

San Anofree and Sunset

Redondo Beach L. A.

All over La Jolla

At Waimia Bay

 

Everybody's gone surfin'

Surfin' U.S. A.

 

Everybody's gone surfin'

Surfin' U.S. A.

 

Everybody's gone surfin'

Surfin' U.S. A.

 

 

 

 

BRIGHT EYES

 

 

Fool just another

fool just another

...

 

I've been waiting

for signs of god

 

create- enslaved- behaved-

everything is out of control

 

Leave me alone

isolation bears hope

there's something else waiting

a promised destiny

freezing me

I feel restless and low

these days full of sadness

had joyfully changed

into fear

 

My freakshow will start tonight

don't miss the right time

 

Ref.:

Bright eyes

blinded by fear of life

no Merlin is by my side

 

everything is out of control

everything is out of control

in my future plans

everything is out of control

noone's left to hurt

everything is out of control

sorrow's gone away

 

Broken memories

walking upstairs

step by step

I see the whole world burning

the poet dies in Neverland

how it burns

 

Hey, mother stubborn

I really hate you

if you say yes I will say no

ashes to ashes

but dust won't be dust

if you go there

I will go back

 

Ref.:

Bright eyes

blinded by fear of life

betrayed by sunrise

bright eyes

blinded by fear of life

no Merlin is by my side

 

Hey, father stubborn

you're ying

and I'm young

I feel alone

who really cares

Born into ashes

to lose all the games

with a smiling face

 

Ref.:

Bright eyes

blinded by fear of life

and dark dragons rise

bright eyes

blinded by fear of life

no Merlin is by my side

 

So I sit still in my room, today

winter's here

in summer's season

shall I say

I was wrong

if I'm right

farewell to my last hope

 

 

 

 

LORD OF THE RINGS

 

 

There are signs on the ring

which make me feel so down

there's one to enslave all rings

to find them all in time

and drive them into darkness

forever they'll be bound

Three for the Kings

of the elves high in light

nine to the mortal

which cry

(solo: Marcus)

 

Ref.: Slow down and I sail on the river

Slow dawn and I walk to the hill

 

and there's now way out

Mordor

dark land under Sauron's spell

threatened a long time

threatened a long time

Seven rings to the gnoms

in their halls made of stone

into the valley

I feel down

One ring for the dark lord's hand

sitting on his throne

in the land so dark

where I've to go

(solo: Marcus)

 

Ref.: Slow down and I sail on the river

Slow down and I walk to the hill

Lord of the rings

 

 

 

 

THE WIZARD

 

Uriah Heep

 

 

He was the wizard of a thousand kings

And I chanced to meet him one night wandering

He told me tales and he drank my wine

Me and my magic man kinda feeling fine

 

He had a cloak of gold and eyes of fire

And as he spoke I felt a deep desire

To free the world of its fear and pain

And help the people to feel free again

 

Why don't we listen to... the voices in our hearts

Cause then I know we'll find... we're not so far apart

Everybody's got to be happy...everyone should sing

For we know the joy of life... the peace that love can bring

 

So spoke the Wizard in his mountain home

The vision of his wisdom means we'll never be alone

And now I will dream of my magic night

And the million silver stars that guide me with their light

 

 

 

 

SPREAD YOUR WINGS

 

Queen

 

 

Sammy was low,

just watching the show,

over and over again.

He knew it was time,

he'd made up his mind,

to leave his dead life behind.

 

His boss said to him

boy, you'd better begin

to get those crazy notions

right out of your head

Sammy who do you think that you are?

You should have been sweeping,

at the emerald bar.

 

spread your wings and fly away,

fly away, far away.

Spread your little wings and fly away

fly away, far away.

Pull yourself together,

'cause you know you should do better,

that's because you're a free man.

 

He spends his evenings alone,

in his hotelroom.

Keeping his thoughts to himself,

he'd be leaving soon.

Wishing he was miles and miles away,

nothing in this world, nothing,

would make him stay.

 

Since he was small,

had no luck at all,

nothing came easy to him.

Now it was time,

he'd made up his mind,

this could be my last change

 

His boss said to him

now listen boy, you're always dreaming,

you got no real ambition,

you won't get worried for.

Sammy, boy don't you know who you are?

why can't you be happy,

at the emerald bar?

 

(So honey) spread you wings and fly away,

fly away, far away.

spread your little wings and fly away,

fly away, far away.

pull yourself together,

'cause you know you should do better,

that's because your a free man.

come on honey (fly with me)...

 

 

 

 

MORDRED'S SONG

 

 

I've lost my battle before it starts

my first breath wasn't done

my spirit's sunken deep

into the ground

why am I alone

I can hear my heartbeat

silence's all around

 

See hat will rise

so don't come closer

fear your child

born with a king's heart

but fate fooled me

and changed my cards

noone asked if I want it

if I like it

 

Ref.:

Pain inside is rising

I am the fallen one

a figure in an old game

no Joker's on my side

I plunged into misery

I'll turn off the light

and murder the dawn

turn off the light

and murder the dawn

 

Nothing else,

but laughter is around me

forevermore

noone can heal me

nothing can save me

noone can heal me

I've gone beyond the truth

it's just another lie

wash away the blood on my hands

my father's blood

in agony we're unified

 

I never wanted to be

what they told me to be

fulfill my fate then I'll be free

god knows how long

I tried to change fate

 

(Solo)

 

Ref.

 

(Solo)

 

I plunged into misery

I'll turn off the light

and murder the dawn

turn off the light

and murder the dawn

 

 

 

 

THE BLACK CHAMBER

 

 

I am lost in the black chamber

There's no way to turn back

It takes me down forevermore

And death would be so sweet

I'm possessed by the old creature

Who had planned all

To take my soul

Too late for me

 

In my hands

It liest I thought

But I failed

Now he's in me

 

My soul is lost

In his black chamber

 

I'm gone

 

 

 

 

THE BARD'S SONG (live)

 

 

Now You all know

The bards and their songs

When hours have gone by

I'll close my eyes

In a world far away

We may meet again

But now hear my song

About the dawn of the night

Let's sing the bards' song

 

Ref.:

Tomorrow will take us away

Far from home

Noone will ever know our names

But the bards' songs will remain

Tomorrow will take it away

The fear of today

It will be gone

Due to our magic songs

 

There's only one song

Left in my mind

Tales of a brave man

Who lived far from here

Now the bard songs are over

And it's time to leave

Noone should ask You for the name

Of the one

Who tells the story

 

Ref.:

Tomorrow will take us away

Far from home

Noone will ever know our names

But the bards' songs will remain

Tomorrow all will be known

And You're not alone

So don't be afraid

In the dark and cold

'Cause the bards' songs will remain

They all will remain

 

In my thoughts and in my dreams

They're always in my mind

These songs of hobbits, dwarves and men

And elves

Come close Your eyes

You can see them, too

A PAST AND FUTURE SECRET

 

 

Oh, I haven't been here for a while

in blindness and decay

the circle's been closed, now

 

My song of the end

I've seen it all

 

Listen crowd

I'll tell you everything

though I have to say

I don't know much

talking about a past

and future secret

most called him once

and future king

far back in the past

I saw his ending

long before it started

I knew his name

he's the one who took the sword

out of the stone

it's how that ancient tale began

I hear it in the cold winds

 

My song of the end

I had seen it in my dreams

my song of the end

I can't stop the darkening clouds

 

I feel cold

when I cry out for the bark

take him back to Avalon

dwell on for a new age

so long sleep well my friend

take him back to Avalon

I will wait and guard

the future king's crown

 

My song of the end

it was nice but now it's gone

my song of the end

it was fixed the whole time

my song of the end

I saw it all

 

 

 

 

TO FRANCE

 

music & lyrics: Mike Oldfield

 

Taking on water,

Sailing a restless sea

From a memory,

A fantasy.

The wind carries

Into white water,

Far from the islands.

Don't you know you're

 

[Chorus]

Never going to get to France.

Mary, Queen of Chance, will they find you?

Never going to get to France.

Could a new romance ever bind you?

 

Walking on foreign ground,

Like a shadow,

Roaming in far off

Territory.

Over your shoulder,

Stories unfold, you're

Searching for sanctuary.

You know you're

 

[Repeat Chorus]

 

I see a picture

By the lamp's flicker.

Isn't it strange how

Dreams fade and shimmer?

 

[Repeat Chorus]

 

I see a picture

By the lamp's flicker.

Isn't it strange how

Dreams fade and shimmer?

 

[Repeat Chorus]

 

Never going to get to France.

Never going to....

 

Never going to get to France.

Never going to....

 

Never going to get to France.

Never going to....
