DANCING IN THE DARK Bruce Springsteen (#2,1984)
I GET UP IN THE EVENIN' AND I AIN'T GOT NOTHIN' TO SAY
I COME HOME IN THE MORNING--I GO TO BED FEELIN' THE SAME WAY
I AIN'T NOTHIN' BUT TIRED--MAN I'M JUST TIRED AND BORED WITH MYSELF
HEY THERE BABY, I COULD USE JUST A LITTLE HELP
CHORUS 1:
YOU CAN'T START A FIRE--YOU CAN'T START A FIRE WITHOUT A SPARK
THIS GUN'S FOR HIRE EVEN IF WE'RE JUST DANCIN' IN THE DARK
MESSAGE KEEPS GETTIN' CLEARER
RADIO'S ON AND I'M MOVIN' 'ROUND MY PLACE
I CHECK MY LOOK IN THE MIRROR
I WANT TO CHANGE MY CLOTHES, MY HAIR, MY FACE
MAN, I AIN'T GETTIN' NOWHERE--I'M JUST LIVIN' IN A DUMP LIKE THIS
THERE'S SOMETHIN' HAPPENIN' SOMEWHERE
BABY, I JUST KNOW THERE IS (chorus 1)
BRIDGE:
YOU SIT AROUND GETTIN' OLDER
THERE'S A JOKE HERE SOMEWHERE AND IT'S ON ME
I SHAKE THIS WORLD OFF MY SHOULDERS
COME ON BABY THIS LAUGH'S ON ME
STAY ON THE STREETS OF THIS TOWN
AND THEY'LL BE CARVIN' YOU UP ALL RIGHT
THEY SAY YOU GOTTA STAY HUNGRY
HEY BABY, I'M JUST ABOUT STARVIN' TONIGHT
I'M DYIN' FOR SOME ACTION
I'M SICK OF SITTIN' 'R0UND HERE TRYIN' TO WRITE THIS BOOK
I NEED A LOVE REACTION--COME ON BABY GIVE ME JUST ONE LOOK
CHORUS 2 & 3:
CAN'T START A FIRE SITTIN' 'ROUND HERE WITH A BROKEN HEART
THIS GUN'S FOR HIRE EVEN IF WE'RE JUST DANCIN' IN THE DARK
CAN'T START A FIRE
WORRYIN' 'BOUT YOUR LITTLE WORLD FALLIN' APART
THIS GUN'S FOR HIRE EVEN IF WE'RE JUST DANCIN' IN THE DARK
EVEN IF WE'RE JUST DANCIN' IN THE DARK . . .

DANIEL Elton John (#2,1973)
DANIEL IS TRAVELING TONIGHT ON A PLANE
I CAN SEE THE RED TAIL LIGHTS HEADING FOR SPAIN
OH, AND I CAN DANIEL WAVING GOOD-BYE
GOD, IT LOOKS LIKE DANIEL MUST BE THE CLOUDS IN MY EYES
CHORUS:
THEY SAY SPAIN IS PRETTY THOUGH I'VE NEVER BEEN

OH, AND HE SHOULD KNOW--HE'S BEEN THERE ENOUGH
LORD, I MISS DANIEL--OH I MISS HIM SO MUCH
OH DANIEL, MY BROTHER, YOU ARE OLDER THAN ME

DESPERADO Eagles
DESPERADO, WHY DON'T YOU COME TO YOUR SENSES
YOU BEEN OUT RIDIN' FENCES FOR SO LONG NOW
OH, YOU'RE A HARD ONE--I KNOW THAT YOU GOT YOUR REASONS
THESE THINGS THAT ARE PLEASIN' YOU CAN HURT YOU SOMEHOW
DON'T YOU DRAW THE QUEEN OF DIAMONDS BOY
SHE'LL BEAT YOU IF SHE'S ABLE
YOU KNOW THE QUEEN OF HEARTS IS ALWAYS YOUR BEST BET
NOW IT SEEMS TO ME SOME FINE THINGS
HAVE BEEN LAID UPON YOUR TABLE
BUT YOU ONLY WANT THE ONES YOU CAN'T GET
DESPERADO, OH YOU AIN'T GETTIN' NO YOUNGER
YOUR PAIN AND YOUR HUNGER--THEY'RE DRIVIN' YOU HOME
AND FEEDOM--WELL, THAT'S JUST SOME PEOPLE TALKIN'
YOUR PRISON IS WALKIN' THROUGH THIS WORLD ALL ALONE
DON'T YOUR FEET GET COLD IN THE WINTER TIME
THE SKY WON'T SNOW AND THE SUN SON'T SHINE
IT'S HARD TO TELL THE NIGHT TIME FROM THE DAY
YOU'RE LOSIN' ALL YOUR HIGHS AND LOWS
AIN'T IT FUNNY HOW THE FEELIN' GOES AWAY
DESPERADO WHY DON'T YOU COME TO YOUR SENSES
COME DOWN FROM YOUR FENCES--OPEN THE GATE
IT MAY BE RAININ', BUT THERE'S A RAINBOW ABOVE YOU

DO YOU BELIEVE IN MAGIC Lovin' Spoonful (#9,1965)
DO YOU BELIEVE IN MAGIC IN A YOUNG GIRL'S HEART
HOW THE MUSIC CAN FREE HER WHENEVER IT STARTS
AND IT'S MAGIC IF THE MUSIC IS GROOVY
IT MAKES YOU FEEL HAPPY LIKE AN OLD-TIME MOVE
I'LL TELL YOU 'BOUT THE MAGIC AND I'LL FREE YOUR SOUL
BUT IT'S LIKE TRYIN' TO TELL A STRANGER 'BOUT ROCK AND ROLL
IF YOU BELIEVE IN MAGIC DON'T BOTHER TO CHOOSE
IF IT'S JUG BAND MUSIC OR RHYTHM AND BLUES
JUST GO AND LISTEN--IT WILL START WITH A SMILE
IT WON'T WIPE OFF YOUR FACE NO MATTER HOW HARD YOU TRY
YOUR FEET START TAPPIN' AND YOU CAN'T SEEM TO FIND
HOW YOU GOT THERE, SO JUST BLOW YOUR MIND
IF YOU BELIEVE IN MAGIC THEN COME ON WITH ME
WE'LL DANCE UNTIL MORNING 'TIL THERE'S JUST YOU AND ME
AND MAYBE IF THE MUSIC IS RIGHT
I'LL MEET YOU TOMORROW OR LATE AT NIGHT
AND WE'LL GO DANCIN' BABY THEN YOU'LL SEE
HOW THE MAGIC IS IN THE MUSIC AND THE MUSIC'S IN ME
ENDING:
AH--DO YOU BELIEVE IN MAGIC--AH
BELIEVE IN THE MAGIC OF A YOUNG GIRL'S SOUL
BELIEVE IN THE MAGIC OF ROCK AND ROLL
BELIEVE IN THE MAGIC THAT CAN SET YOU FREE--OH . . .
DO YOU BELIEVE IN MAGIC (DO YOU BELIEVE LIKE I BELIEVE)
DO YOU BELIEVE IN MAGIC (DO YOU BELIEVE LIKE I BELIEVE)
BELIEVE, BELIEVE-A (DO YOU BELIEVE LIKE I BELIEVE)
DO YOU BELIEVE IN MAGIC (DO YOU BELIEVE LIKE I BELIEVE) . . .

DON'T STOP Fleetwood Mac (#3,1977)
IF YOU WAKE UP AND DON'T WANT TO SMILE
IF IT TAKES JUST A LITTLE WHILE
OPEN YOUR EYES AND LOOK AT THE DAY
YOU'LL SEE THINGS A DIFFERENT WAY
CHORUS (after each verse):
DON'T STOP THINKIN' ABOUT TOMORROW
DON'T STOP--IT'LL SOON BE HERE
IT'LL BE HERE BETTER THAN BEFORE
YESTERDAY'S GONE, YESTERDAY'S GONE
WHY NOT THINK ABOUT TIMES TO COME
AND NOT ABOUT THE THINGS THAT YOU'VE DONE
IF YOUR LIFE WAS BAD TO YOU
JUST THINK WHAT TOMORROW WILL DO
ALL I WANT IS TO SEE YOU SMILE
IF IT TAKES JUST A LITTLE WHILE
I KNOW YOU DON'T BELIEVE THAT IT'S TRUE
I NEVER MEANT ANY HARM TO YOU
OOH . . . DON'T YOU LOOK BACK (x4)

ONLY FOR A MOMENT AND THE MOMENT'S GONE

PASS BEFORE MY EYES, A CURIOSITY
CHORUS (after each verse):
DUST IN THE WIND--ALL THEY ARE IS DUST IN THE WIND
SAME OLD SONG
JUST A DROP OF WATER IN AN ENDLESS SEA
ALL WE DO
CRUMBLES TO THE GROUND THOUGH WE REFUSE TO SEE
DON'T HANG ON
NOTHING LASTS FOREVER BUT THE EARTH AND SKY
IT SLIPS AWAY
ALL YOUR MONEY WON'T ANOTHER MINUTE BUY
