Mr. Sandman (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...

Mr. Sandman

Bring me a dream

Make it the cutest I've ever seen

Give her two lips like roses and clover

And tell her that her lonesome nights are over

Sandman

I'm so alone

Don't have nobody to call my own

Please turn on your magic beam

Mr. Sandman bring me a dream

Mr. Sandman

Bring me a dream

Make her the cutest I've ver seen

Give her the word that I'm not a rover

And tell her that her lonesome nights are over

Sandman

I'm so alone

Don't have nobody to call my own

Please turn on your magic beam

Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream

Mr. 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

Would be so peachy

Before we're to old

So please turn on your magic beam

Mr. Sandman bring us

Please Please Please

Mr. Sandman

Bring us a dream

 

Surfin' USA (The Beach Boys)

If everybody had an ocean

Across the U.S.A.

Then everybody'd be surfing

Like California

You'd see 'em wearin' their baggies

Huarachi sandals, too

A bushy, bushy blond hairdo

Surfin U.S.A.

You'd catch 'em surfin' at Del Mar

(Inside, outside, U.S.A.)

Ventura County line

(Inside, outside, U.S.A.)

Santa Cruz and Tressels

(Inside, outside, U.S.A.)

Australia's Narabine

(Inside, outside, U.S.A.)

All over Manhattan

(Inside, outside, U.S.A.)

And down Doheny way

(Inside, outside, U.S.A.)

Everybody's gone surfin'

Surfin' U.S.A.

We'll all be planning out a route

We're gonna take real soon

We're waxin' down our surfboards

We can't wait for June

We'll all be gone for the summer

We're on safari to stay

Tell the teacher we're surfin'

Surfin' U.S.A.

At Haggerty's and Swami's

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 dying
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

I’ll keep the rings for a sorrow

I’ll keep the rings till I die

I’ll keep the rings for a sorrow

I’ll keep the rings till I die

 

Ref.:

Slow down and I sail on the river

Slow down and I walk to the hill

Slow down and I sail on the river

Slow down 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

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

I’ll keep the ring

I’ll keep the ring

I’ll keep the ring

...

Till I

Slow down and I sail on the river

Slow down and I walk to the hill

Till I

Slow down and I sail on the river

Slow down and I walk to the hill

I’ll keep the ring

Till I

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 a chance to meet him one night wondering.

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 see.

For we know the joy of life and 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 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

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 you that you are?

You should've been sweeping up the Emerald Bar"

Ref.:

Spread your wings and fly away

Fly away, far away

Spread your little wings and fly away

Fly away, far away

Pull yourself together

'Cos you know you should do better

That's because your a free man

He spends his evenings alone in his hotel room

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 chance"

His boss said to him, "Now listen boy!

You're always dreaming

You've got no real ambition, you won't get very far

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

Why can't you be happy at the Emerald Bar?"

So honey,

Ref.

 

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

and don't come closer

fear your child

born with a king's heart

but fate fooled me

and changed my cards

no one 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

no one can heal me

nothing can save me

no one 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

 

Black Chamber

I am lost in the black chamber

There's no way to turning back

There still live

in a different World

It takes me down forevermore

And death could be so sweet

dancing on, in an empty room

a cruel and painful game

I'm possessed by the old creature

Who had planned

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 - In The Forest

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

No one 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

No one should ask You for the name

Of the one

Who tells the story

Ref.:

Tomorrow will take us away

Far from home

No one 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

 

Barbara Ann (The Regents) / Long Tall Sally (Little Richard)

(Bar-bar-bar, Bar-bar-bar Ann, Bar-bar-bar, Bar-bar-bar Ann)

Chorus:

Barbara Ann, just take my hand, Barbara Ann

You got me rockin' and a-rollin',

Rockin' and a-reelin',

Barbara Ann, Bar-bar, Bar-bar-bar Ann

Went to a dance, lookin' for romance, Saw Barbara Ann, so I thought I'd take a chance.

Chorus

Played my fav'rite tune, danced with Betty Lou, Tried Peggy Sue, but I knew they wouldn't do.

Chorus

(Bar-bar-bar, Bar-bar-bar Ann, Bar-bar-bar, Bar-bar-bar Ann)

Chorus

...

Gonna tell Aunt Mary 'bout Uncle John

He says he has the blues but he has a lotta fun

Oh, baby

Woooh, baby, yeah

Oh, baby, some fun tonight

We're gonna have some fun tonight

We're gonna have some fun tonight, woooh

Everything's alright

We're gonna have some fun tonight

We're gonna have some fun, some fun tonight

Woo-o-o-oh!

 

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

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

My song of the end

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 (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 grounds,

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...
