Book Of Saturday - King Crimson

If I only could deceive you 
Forgetting the game 
Every time I try to leave you 
You laugh just the same 

'Cause my wheels never touch the road 
And the jumble of lies we told 
Just returns to my back to weigh me down... 

We lay cards upon the table 
The backs of our hands 
And I swear I like your people 
The boys in the band 

Reminiscences gone astray 
Coming back to enjoy the fray 
In a tangle of night and daylight sounds... 

All completeness in the morning 
Asleep on your side 
I'll be waking up the crewmen 
Banana-boat ride 

She responds like a limousine 
Brought alive on the silent screen 
To the shuddering breath of yesterday... 

There's the succour of the needy 
Incredible scenes 
I'll believe you in the future 
Your life and death dreams 

As the cavalry of despair 
Takes a stand in the lady's hair 
For the favour of making sweet sixteen... 

You make my life and times 
A book of bluesy Saturdays 
And I have to chose...

Promises - Eric Clapton

I don't care if you never come home
i don't mind if you just keep on rowin' away on a distant sea
cus i don't love you and you don't love me
You cause a commotion when you come to town
you give 'em a smile and they melt
and your lovers and friends is all good and fine
but i don't like yours and you don't like mine
La la la la la la
la la la la la la la la
I don't care what you do at night
oh, i don't care how you get you delites
we'll leave it alone and just let it be 
i don't love you and you don't love me
I got a problem can you relate 
i got a woman callin' love hate 
we made a vow we'd always be friends
how could we know that promises end
I tried to love for years upon years
you refuse to take me for real 
it's time you saw what i want you to see
i'd still love you if you'd just love me

Smoke Gets In Your Eyes - The Platters

Smoke gets in your eyes
the platters 
words by otto harbach and music by jerome kern
Peak billboard position # 1 in 1958
in 1934, four versions charted: paul whiteman (#1), leo reisman (#3), 
emil coleman (#4), and ruth etting (#15)
in 1941 artie shaw took it to # 24.
from the 1933 musical "roberta" starring bob hope

they asked me how i knew my true love was true
i of course replied "something here inside cannot be denied"
they said "someday you'll find all who love are blind"
when your heart's on fire, you must realize smoke gets in your eyes
so i *chaffed* them and i gaily laughed to think they could doubt my love
yet today my love has flown away, i am without my love
Now laughing friends deride tears i cannot hide
so i smile and say "when a lovely flame dies, smoke gets in your eyes"
(smoke gets in your eyes, smoke gets in your eyes)
Smoke-gets-in-your-eyes

Missing - Everything But The Girl

2-i step off the train
i'm walking down your street again
and past your door, but you don't live there anymore
it's years since you've been there
now you've disappeared somewhere, like outer space
you've found some better place
1-and i miss you, like the deserts miss the rain
and i miss you, like the deserts miss the rain
Could you be dead?
you always were two steps ahead, of everyone
we'd walk behind while you would run
i look up at your house
and i can almost hear you shout down to me
where i always used to be
(repeat 1)
Back on the train, i ask why did i come again?
can i confess, i've been hanging round your old address?
and the years have proved
to offer, nothing since you've moved
you're long gone, but i can't move on
(rpt 1, 2, 1...)

Aquarius - The 5th Dimension

When the moon is in the seventh house

And jupiter aligns with mars
Then peace will guide the planets
And love will steer the stars

This is the dawning of the age of aquarius
The age of aquarius
Aquarius!
Aquarius!

Harmony and understanding
Sympathy and trust abounding
No more falsehoods or derisions
Golding living dreams of visions
Mystic crystal revalation
And the mind's true liberation
Aquarius!
Aquarius!

When the moon is in the seventh house
And jupiter aligns with mars
Then peace will guide the planets
And love will steer the stars

This is the dawning of the age of aquarius
The age of aquarius
Aquarius!
Aquarius!

As our hearts go beating through the night
We dance unto the dawn of day
To be the bearers of the water
Our light will lead the way

We are the spirit of the age of aquarius
The age of aquarius

Harmony and understanding
Sympathy and trust abounding
Angelic illumination
Rising firey constellation
Travelling our starry courses
Guided by the cosmic forces
O care for us
Aquarius

Another Star - Stevie Wonder

For you
There might be another star
But through my eyes the light of you it's all I see
For you
There might be another song
But all my heart can hear is your melody
So long ago my heart without demanding
Informed me that no other love could do
But listen did I not though understanding
Fell in love with one
Who would break my heart in two
For you
Love might bring a toast of wine
But which each sparkle know the best for you I pray
For you
Love might be for you to find
But I will celebrate our love of yesterday
So long ago my heart without demanding
Informed me that no other love could do
But listen did I not though understanding
Fell in love with one
Who would break my heart in two
For you
There might be another star
But through my eyes the light of you it's all I see
For you
There might be another song
But in my heart your melody will stay with me
