WHERE IS LOVE
From "Oliver!"
Words and original Music by Lionel Bart

Where is Love?
Does it fall from skies above?
Is it underneath the willow tree
that I've been dreaming of?

Where is she,
Who I close my eyes to see?
Will I ever know the sweet "hello"
That's meant for only me?

Who can say where she may hide?
Must I travel far and wide,
Till I am beside the someone who,
I can mean something to?
Where, where is love?

Every night I kneel and pray
Let tomorrow be the day,
When I see the face of someone
Who I can mean something to.
Where, where is Love?

COME OUT, MR. TWO-TIME- LOSER TERRORIST!
Lot of words totally remembered by George W. Bush.

Where is he?
Where can old Bin Laden be?
Is he in a cave or down a well,
Or up some olive tree?

Where's that man?
Is he in Afghanistan?
In some gloomy valley in a tent,
Amongst the Taliban?

Who can know where he may hide,
Is he on some camel ride?
Is he like a feline with nine lives?
Does he have twenty wives?
Where, where is he?

No-one knows if he lives still
Wow! Are those videos for real?
Or some tatty family home-movie
Edited effectively;
Where, where is he?

LUCY IN THE SKY WITH DIAMONDS
by
The Beatles

Picture yourself in a boat on a river,
With tangerine trees and marmalade skies
Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly,
A girl with kaleidoscope eyes.

Cellophane flowers of yellow and green,
Towering over your head.
Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes,
And she's gone.

{REFRAIN}
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Ah... Ah...

Follow her down to a bridge by a fountain
Where rocking horse people eat marshmallow pies,
Everyone smiles as you drift past the flowers,
That grow so incredibly high.
Newspaper taxis appear on the shore,
Waiting to take you away.
Climb in the back with your head in the clouds,
And you're gone.

{REFRAIN}
Lucy in the sky with diamonds ...

Picture yourself on a train in a station,
With plasticine porters with looking glass ties,
Suddenly someone is there at the turnstile,
The girl with kaleidoscope eyes.

{REFRAIN}
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds ...

SO WISELY, I BUY THE GIRL DIAMONDS
Wrinkly Mick

I sing with the Stones yet this tune is by Lennon,
A writer for whom I've a healthy respect,
Now he is dead, yes, yet I am still rollin',
A wrinkly rock-god of sex.

Girls still lust for me, yet not for the wealth,
Leastwise it's what they all say,
So what happens when I lose my wow-appeal,
When it goes ...?

{REFRAIN}
Lucky I can buy the girl diamonds
Lucky I can buy the girl diamonds
Lucky I can buy the girl diamonds
Hee...He...

Follow her down to the Tiffany counter
To fish out the dosh while she picks out a stone
Everyone smiles as you pass the display stands
With prices that cause you to groan.
Newspaper writers appear in the store
Eager to eye your new maiden,
Dash out the back-door and into a car
And you're gone.

{REFRAIN}
Lucky I can buy the girl diamonds...
Hee... He...

Followed and worshipped in towns that I visit
I bed any young girl when I so require
Someone says, "Hey, take a look in the mirror,"
Aw shit, I look wrinkled and tired.

{REFRAIN}
Lucky I can buy the girl diamonds...
Hee... He...

Life is real! Life is earnest!
And the grave is not its goal;
Dust thou art, to dust returnest,
Was not spoken of the soul.

Life is nature! Nature's soul!
Vital; restless; passing;
And if its wonder thee forget,
Look out the door at that sunset!

"Cry 'Havoc,' and let slip the dogs of war;
That this foul deed shall smell above the earth
With carrion men, groaning for burial."

Having hatched Caesar's past murder, the guilt-filled Roman, Antony, voices the horrible foreboding that war shall follow.

TAKE A CHANCE ON ME
By
Abba

If you change your mind, I'm the first in line
Honey I'm still free
Take a chance on me
If you need me, let me know, gonna be around
If you've got no place to go, if you're feeling down
If you're all alone when the pretty birds have flown
Honey I'm still free
Take a chance on me
Gonna do my very best and it ain't no lie
If you put me to the test, if you let me try

Take a chance on me
(That's all I ask of you honey)
Take a chance on me

We can go dancing, we can go walking, as long as we're together
Listen to some music, maybe just talking, get to know you better
'Cos you know I've got
So much that I wanna do, when I dream I'm alone with you
It's magic
You want me to leave it there, afraid of a love affair
But I think you know
That I can't let go

If you change your mind, I'm the first in line
Honey I'm still free
Take a chance on me
If you need me, let me know, gonna be around
If you've got no place to go, if you're feeling down
If you're all alone when the pretty birds have flown
Honey I'm still free
Take a chance on me
Gonna do my very best and it ain't no lie
If you put me to the test, if you let me try

Take a chance on me
(Come on, give me a break will you?)
Take a chance on me

Oh you can take your time baby, I'm in no hurry, know I'm gonna get you
You don't wanna hurt me, baby don't worry, I ain't gonna let you
Let me tell you now
My love is strong enough to last when things are rough
It's magic
You say that I waste my time but I can't get you off my mind
No I can't let go
'Cos I love you so

If you change your mind, I'm the first in line
Honey I'm still free
Take a chance on me
If you need me, let me know, gonna be around
If you've got no place to go, if you're feeling down
If you're all alone when the pretty birds have flown
Honey I'm still free
Take a chance on me
Gonna do my very best, baby can't you see
Gotta put me to the test, take a chance on me
(Take a chance, take a chance, take a chance on me)

Ba ba ba ba baa, ba ba ba ba baa
Honey I'm still free
Take a chance on me
Gonna do my very best, baby can't you see
Gotta put me to the test, take a chance on me
(Take a chance, take a chance, take a chance on me)

Ba ba ba ba baa, ba ba ba ba baa ba-ba
Honey I'm still free
Take a chance on me

CONNECT WITH ME!
A boogie by
Gordon 'Honesty' Brown

If you feel some doubt, thinking I lack clout,
Take it from a Scot,
I'm the best you've got,
If you need me then you must help me fight the fight,
Tell me if I'm doin' wrong, if I'm doin' right.
If I feel alone when voters all have flown,
Here's a humble plea
Take a chance on me;
Gonna do my very best to obtain your trust,
Keep you on your feet, aye aye, not let you go bust.

Take a chance on me
(Gee, be thankful I am not oily A.Blair)
Aye, take a chance on me.

We can go far and we can gain power, between us, if together,
Gain a new image, treasure the hour, aye things can get better!
'Cause you know I've got
So much I wanna do, pay off loans overdue,
Like magic,
Don't make me flee, I'm bound
To turn my nation around,
Aye, I think you know,
Ye can't let me go.

If you change your mind, I'm the man in line,
Take it from a Scot,
I'm the best you've got,
If you need me then you must help me fight the fight,
Tell me if I'm doin' wrong, if I'm doin' right.
If I feel alone when voters all have flown,
Here's a humble plea,
Take a chance on me,
Gonna do my very best to obtain your trust,
Keep you on your feet, aye aye, not let you go bust.

Take a chance on me
(Gee, be thankful I am not idiot A.Blair)
Aye, take a chance on me.

You can take your time, show me
That you want to know me, yes see I am bubbly,
See I'm not broody, weak, mean or moody, agree I am lovely,
I wanna tell you that
My nerve is strong enough, to abide when things get tough,
I'm magic;
You say I'm a waste of space but baby it ain't the case,
Aye, I think you know,
Ye won't let me go.

I may be a Jock, but I really rock,
And at least I care,
Not like Tony Blair,
I'm agile as hell, tho' I look flabby
I am neat as well, tho' I look shabby.
If I feel alone, and my voters all have flown,
Here's a humble plea,
Take a chance on me,
Gonna do my very best, with efficiency
If you take a chance and connect with me.
(Aye connect, aye connect, aye connect to me).

A-ba na na na naa, a-ba na na na naa,
Choose efficiency
And connect with me,
Gonna do my very best to unite my flock,
To go forth again, not turnin' back the clock.
(Aye connect, aye connect, aye connect to me)

A-ba ba na na naa, a-ba na na na naa,
ba-ba.
Let your heart beat free
And connect to me
