And The Beat Goes On – original lyrics by Sonny Bono/ altered and additional lyrics by Eleonora
Drums keep poundin' a rhythm to the brain
la - di - da - di - dee ..... la - di - da - di - dah ...
Jazz and jive was once the rage, uh - huh
History has turned a page, uh - huh
I-pod is the current thing, uh - huh
Deejay is our new born king, uh - huh
And the beat goes on ... the beat goes on
Drums keep poundin' a rhythm to the brain
la - di - da - di - dee ..... la - di - da - di - dah ...
The super-mart a home-grown shop, uh - huh
Children put their finger up, uh - huh
And God’s wife got a record deal, uh - huh
Fate was not that good to me, uh - huh
And the beat goes on ... the beat goes on
Drums keep poundin' a rhythm to the brain
la - di - da - di - dee ..... la - di - da - di - dah ...
Grandmas without wrinkles reminisce
Younger men’s the answer to their ticks
The cars keep goin' faster all the time
Bum still cries, "Hey buddy, got a dime?"
And the beat goes on ... the beat goes on
Drums keep poundin' a rhythm to the brain
la - di - da - di - dee ..... la - di - da - di - dah ...

Forever For Now – lyrics by Harry Connick Jr.
Meet me on the corner of close and soon
I’ll have a song in my head
And my hands on a tune
Nothing lasts forever
So I guess I better
Take you forever, for now
Meet me in the lobby of destiny
I’ll have a ribbon on my shoulders
And a halo over me
If nothing lasts forever
Then I guess I better
Take you forever, for now
Under a clock by an information desk
I’ll be there with bells on
By an old oak, a fountain in the park
Just don’t be long
By the ticket counter for love in spring
I’ll be standin’ there with cupid
And he can aim that thing
Nothing lasts forever
So I figure I better
Love you forever, for now

The Look Of Love

The Look Of Love - lyrics by Burt Bacharach
The look of love is in your eyes.
A look your smile can't disguise.
The look of love is saying so much more than
just words could ever say.
And what my heart has heard, well, it takes my breath away.
I can hardly wait to hold you,
Feel my arms around you.
How long I have waited,
Waited just to love you,
Now that I have found you.
You've got that look of love, it's on your face.
The look that time can't erase.
Be mine tonight, let this be just the start of
So many nights like this.
Let's take a lover's vow and then seal it with a kiss.
I can hardly wait to hold you,
Feel my arms around you.
How long I have waited,
Waited just to love you,
Now that I have found you,
Don't ever go.
Don't ever go.
I love you so.

Sainte Augustine In Hell -lyrics by Gordon Sumner /altered and additional lyrics by Eleonora
If somebody up there likes me, somebody up there cares
deliver me from evil, save me from these wicked snares
not into temptation, not to cliffs of fall
on to revelation, and lessons for us all
He walked into the room on the arm of my best friend
I knew whatever happened our friendship would end
chemical reaction, desire at first sight
mystical attraction, turned out all my lights
The minute I saw his face, the second I caught his eye
the minute I touched the flame I knew it would never die
The minute I saw his face, the second I caught his eye
the minute I touched the flame I knew it would never die
I don't know if it's pain or pleasure that I seek
my flesh was all too willing, my spirit guide was weak
I was deadly certain her thoughts for me weren't kind
A switchblade in her pocket, murder on her mind
Blessed St. Theresa the whore of Babylon
Madonna and my mother all rolled into one
you've got to understand me, I'm not a piece of wood
Francis of Assisi could never be this good
The minute I saw his face, the second I caught his eye
the minute I touched the flame I knew it would never die
The minute I saw his face, the second I caught his eye
the minute I touched the flame I knew it would never die
Relax, have another cocktail, make yourself at home.
Hell is full of rock stars, actors, failed saints.
We've got jazz singers, scorned lovers, desperate houswives,
fallen angels, players, music critics, they're all here.
You're not alone, you're never alone, not here you're not.
OK break's over...
The minute I saw his face, the second I caught his eye
the minute I touched the flame I knew it would never die
The minute I saw his face, the second I caught his eye
the minute I touched the flame I knew it would never die
The less I need the more I get, make me chaste but not just yet
It's a promise or a lie, I'll repent before I die

Blue Daniel – Frank Rosolino all lyrics by Eleonora
Here’s a picture in my scrapbook
It’s my parents, if you take a close look
Back in the days when mum and dad used to take
Of their siblings
They both look so very handsome
Still in love, unaware of the bad luck and tension
That would hit ‘em and would make them lose their faith
In people and in living
In the sixties marriage was a big thing
None of them knew how much the other longed to be
On the freeway
They both wanted something different
They were trapped in convention and marriage commitment
Yet I wonder, were they happy in their own way?
Interlude:
Waking up one night to the sound of screaming madness
Daddy holding mummy very tight
Next morning showed no signs of my parents’ weird behaviour
Till I saw this strange look in her eyes
Like she was cleaning up and wiping out all traces
Of passionate loving
Her cleaning and scrubbing and hosing and rubbing
It drove ‘em apart

Another Face In The Crowd – Arie Kuit & Eleonora all lyrics by Eleonora
Like little Alice grew tall in a day
I got addicted, once the music came my way
Those days are gone, but I’m still hooked, can’t you see?
Alice left the building, just in time for her tea
Each crowd’s a burden to you, I so agree
Who do you see when you’re looking at me?
And do you care what I read or what I wear?
I try to meet your standards, how much more can I bear?
Chorus:
(Look at me) I’m only a little voice
(Ooh me) I’ll always be second choice
(My heels) never grow higher
Than just another face in the crowd
I watched when you started out in a club
Bought all your records, so you made it to the top
From rags to riches, you’ve got so much appeal
I don’t want your money, just a part of the deal
Without me, honey, there would be no you
I think we are connected, don’t you feel it too?
I know you’re willing, though you’re acting kinda slow
Save it all for later, we’ve a long way to go
Chorus:
(Look at me) I’m only a little voice
(Ooh me) I’ll always be second choice
(My heels) never grow higher
Than just another face in the crowd
Just another face in the crowd

Now Baby Or Never – lyrics attributed to Billie Holiday
Hey there, daddy, make up your mind
Cos I’ve been waiting such a long, long time
Now baby, or never, cos I’ve been so good to you
Now baby, or never, cos I’ve been so lonesome too
Now baby, or never, if I mean anything to you
Now baby, or never, cos you’ve wasted so much time
Now baby, or never, cos you can’t make up your mind
Now baby, or never, and it ain’t no fault of mine
It’s gotta be yes or no
It’s either you stay or go
You can’t leave me on the shelf
You gotta commit yourself
It’s either you will, baby, or won’t fall in love with me
Gonna call you once more on the telephone
I’ll give you till twelve then I’ll be gone
Now baby, or never, cos I’ve been so good to you
Now baby, or never, cos I’ve been so lonesome too
Now baby, or never, if I mean anything to you
Now baby, or never, cos you’ve wasted so much time
Now baby, or never, cos you can’t make up your mind
Now baby, or never, and it ain’t no fault of mine
It’s gotta be yes or no
It’s either you stay or go
You can’t leave me on the shelf
You gotta commit yourself
It’s either you will, baby, or won’t fall in love with me
I waited last night for you to call
You’re giving me no consideration at all
Now baby, or never, cos you’ve wasted so much time
Now baby, or never, and you must make up your mind
Now baby, or never, and it ain’t no fault of mine
It’s gotta be yes or no
It’s either you stay or go
You can’t leave me on the shelf
You gotta commit yourself
It’s either you will, baby, or won’t,
You do, baby, or don’t
Either you will, baby, or won’t fall in love with me

Don't Explain – lyrics by Holiday & Herzog
Hush now, don't explain, just say you'll remain
I'm glad you're back, don't explain
My love, don't explain, what is there to gain?
Skip that lipstick, don't explain
You know that I love you and what love endures
All my thoughts are of you, for I'm so completely yours
Cry to hear folks chatter and I know you cheat
Right or wrong don't matter when you're with me, sweet
Hush now, don't explain, you're my joy and pain
My life's yours love, don't explain

Feelin' Good – lyrics by Leslie/Bricusse
Birds flying high, you know how I feel
Sun in the sky, you know how I feel
Breeze driftin' by, you know how I feel
It's a new dawn, it's a new day
It's a new life for me
And I'm feelin' good
Fish in the sea, you know how I feel
River runnin' free, you know how I feel
Blossom on the tree, you know how I feel
It's a new dawn, it's a new day
It's a new life for me
And I'm feelin' good
Dragonfly out in the sun, you know what I mean
Butterflies all havin' fun, you know what I mean
Sleep in peace when day is done, that's what I mean
And this old world is a new world
And a bold world for me
Stars when you shine, you know how I feel
Scent of the pine, you know how I feel
Freedom is mine and I know how I feel
It's a new dawn, it's a new day
It's a new life for me
And I'm feelin' good

Moondance - lyrics by Van Morrison
Well, it's a marvelous night for a moondance
With the stars up above in your eyes
A fantabulous night to make romance
'Neath the cover of October skies
And all the leaves on the trees are falling
To the sound of the breezes that blow
You know I'm trying to please to the calling
Of your heart-strings that play soft and low
You know the night's magic seems to whisper and hush
You know the soft moonlight seems to shine in your blush
Chorus:
Can I just have one more moondance with you, my love
Can I just make some more romance with a-you, my love
Well I wanna make love to you tonight
I can't wait till the morning has come
Y'know I know now the time is just right
And straight into my arms you will run
And when you come my heart will be waiting
To make sure that you're never alone
There and then all my dreams will come true, dear
There and then I will make you my own
And everytime I touch you, you just tremble inside
And I know how much you want me that you can't hide
Chorus:
Can I just have one more moondance with you, my love
Can I just make some more romance with a-you, my love

Epilogue ( Nothing 'Bout Me) - lyrics by Gordon Sumner
Lay my head on a surgeons’ table
take my fingerprints if you are able
pick my brains, pick my pockets
steal my eyebrows and come back for the sockets
run any kind of test from a to z
but you still know nothin’ bout me
Run my name through your computer
mention me in passing to your college tutor
check my records check my fax
check if I’ve paid my income tax
pour over everything in my cv
but you still know nothin’ bout me
still know nothin’ bout me
Only to me, the looks of my history
I’m a simple man, there’s no big mystery
In the cold weather a hand needs a glove
In times like these a lonely man like me
needs love
Search my house with a fine tooth comb
turn over everything because I won't be at home
take out your microscope and tell me what you see
but you still know nothin’ bout me
still know nothin’ bout me
still know zip about me
still know nothin’ bout me

These Boots Are Made For Walking - original lyrics by Nancy Sinatra / altered and additional lyrics by Eleonora
You keep saying you've got something for me.
something you call love, but confess.
You've been a messin' where you shouldn't have been a messin'
and now some Italian whore is gettin' all your best.
These boots are made for walking, and that's just what they'll do
one of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you.
You keep saying you do so much for me
and I’m telling you that true love can’t be bought.
This wedding ring here doesn’t mean that you own me.
Least of all my heart, my brains, my thoughts.
These boots are made for walking, and that's just what they'll do
one of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you.
You keep sayin' that you so adore me
But then why, Sir, won’t you listen to the truth?
I just can’t be silenced any longer,
So I’ll set my score, I’m giving you the boot.
These boots are made for walking, and that's just what they'll do
one of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you.
