Livin In The Limelight
**everybody wants to be a star
Living in the limelight
A big house and a fancy car
Living in the limelight
Everybody gonna know your name
Surely pleased to meet you
Ask you for your autograph

In the middle of the middle of a dream
Living in the limelight
See yourself on the silver screen

Hypnotisin the roar of the crowd

Limelight
Im in the limelight
No time for sun ray
We are the happening
This day is our day
Im in the limelight ah ah
Big on my block now ah ah
Im in the limelight ah ah
Im in the limelight
Im in love
With myself
Please dont break the spell
Or give to someone else
I am a success
At least for a short while
I make decisions
Influence people

Limelight
(alan parsons/ eric woolfson)
Producer for bonnie: stephan power
I can see the glow
Of the distant sun
I can feel it inside
Maybe this day
Could be the one
I can hear the roar
Of the distant crowd
They are waiting for me
Calling my name
Shouting out loud
Limelight
You were all I ever wanted, since it all began
Limelight
Shining on me, telling the world who I am
Oh, limelight
Dont let me slip right through you fingers
Theres along way to fall
After all the years of waiting
Im going to show them all
I can see the world
In a different light
Now its easy to say
Where I went wrong
What I did right
Holding on isnt always easy
I am gonna change my mind
Limelight
You were all I ever wanted, since it all began
Limelight
Shining on me, telling the world who I am
Oh, limelight
Dont let me slip right through you fingers
Theres along way to fall
(instrumental)
Limelight
You were all I ever wanted, since it all began
Limelight
Shining on me, telling the world who I am
Yeah, limelight
Dont let me slip right through you fingers
Theres along way to fall
Maybe the roads not easy
Im gonna show them all

Starry Night
My wig is stupendous
My dress so bizarre,
With make-up that's tremendous,
I'm bound to go far.
My shoes are so snazzy,
My bosom is vast,
With colours so jazzy,
I'm ready at last.
The bell rings for starters,
I rush out of the door,
Quick pull on my garters,
And I'm ready, for sure.
I walk into the limelight,
Of this great hall of fame,
Because, just for tonight,
I'm a 'Pantomime Dame! '

Are You Ready?
Are you ready, are you ready?
Are you ready, are you ready?
Are you ready to meet jesus?
Are you where you ought to be?
Will he know you when he sees you
Or will he say, depart from me?
Are you ready, hope youre ready.
Am I ready, am I ready?
Am I ready, am I ready?
Am I ready to lay down my life for the brethren
And to take up my cross?
Have I surrendered to the will of god
Or am I still acting like the boss?
Am I ready, hope Im ready.
When destruction cometh swiftly
And theres no time to say a fare-thee-well,
Have you decided whether you want to be
In heaven or in hell?
Are you ready, are you ready?
Have you got some unfinished business?
Is there something holding you back?
Are you thinking for yourself
Or are you following the pack?
Are you ready, hope youre ready.
Are you ready?
Are you ready for the judgment?
Are you ready for that terrible swift sword?
Are you ready for armageddon?
Are you ready for the day of the lord?
Are you ready, I hope youre ready.

The artist must create a spark before he can make a fire and before art is born, the artist must be ready to be consumed by the fire of his own creation.

Of Deceit and Honorable Hypocrisy!
People aren't just thrusted into the limelight,
For doing absolutely nothing.
They may be seen doing absolutely nothing noteworthy,
When they are actually there.
But to come from nowhere...
To then be everywhere?
With a hype unlike found under microscope,
Day and night!
To then proclaim...
An unawareness?
Not too many of us 'trip' like this!
And not to intentionally bring attention upon oneself?
Even lunatics can create better excuses.
People aren't just thrusted into the limelight,
For doing absolutely nothing.
That's been done too many times by those who create wars.
Those who stick their busy noses into places...
Then proclaim an innocence.
Like a child found with a mouthful of mints.
After being told too many times...
Lieing does not make sense!
When their misdeeds are exposed,
With a spreading of the evidence.
And pictures of them posing wickedly,
Smiling in front of unusually familiar...
Although conquered foreign doors.
Knowing they've been warned many times before.
People aren't just thrusted into the limelight,
For doing absolutely nothing.
Something done that they did or do,
Got them exactly what they wanted.
With the aid of those who empathize,
With lies reeking...
Of deceit and honorable hypocrisy!

Maybe this day could be the one

They are waiting for me

Shouting out loud
Holding on isnt always easy
I aint gonna change my mind
Limelight you were all I ever wanted
Since it all began
Limelight shining on me
Telling the world who I am
Limelight dont let me slip right through your fingers
Theres a long way to fall
After the years of waiting
Im gonna show them all
I can see the world in a different light
Now its easy to say
Where I went wrong
What I did right
I can hear the beat of a different drum
Take it all in my stride
Hold my head high
Second to none
Holding on wasnt always easy
Nothing can change my mind
Limelight you were all I ever wanted since it all began
Limelight shining on me telling the world who I am
Limelight dont let me slip right through your fingers
Theres a long way to fall
After the years of waiting Im gonna show them all
Maybe the roles not easy, maybe the prize is small
After the years of waiting Im gonna show them all

Lady Limelight is a jealous lady. She wants all of your attention. You don't have any time to think of anything else but Lady Limelight, because pretty soon that light will be shinning on somebody else. So you better do it while you can.

Bring Him Home
God on high
Here my pray
In my need
You have always been there
He is young
He's afraid
Let him rest
Heaven blessed
Bring him home
Bring him home
Bring him home
He's like the son I might have known
If God had granted me a son
The summer's die one by one
How soon they fly on and on
Before I'm old before I'm gone
Bring him peace
Bring him joy
He is young
He is only a boy
You can take you can give
Let him be let him live
If I die, let me die
Let him live
Bring him home
Bring him home
Bring him home

Ready For You
(graham russell)
Painted sands and makeshift hands
Take us round and round
Horizon clear will soon be near
Im walking on the ground
Ive been round the corner
Sinking all the doubts in sight
If you sail across the border
We can float into the night
Oh Im ready for you
Im ready for you
Im ready for you
Im ready for you
Cloudy sky the wind is high
Im trying to break the spell
But Ill be here when you appear
I see the night as well
A feelings not a feeling
If you cant believe its true
Id sooner be believing
When the ship comes sailing through
Im ready for you
Im ready for you
Im ready for you
Im ready for you
Shifting sea, believe in me
And bring this boat to home
Ive waited long my heart is strong
And faithful to its own
My eyes wont start this sleeping
Till they see the face they love
Theres so much Ive been keeping
And Ive kept it long enough
Im ready for you
Im ready for you
Im ready for you
Im ready for you

Stroll into Your Limelight!
Stroll into your limelight!
Brave.
Let gusto push you front and center.
Others still wait for unanswered prayers,
Stored and saved...
To show gold fingers to adorn deflated egos.
Attached without obstacles...
Gift wrapped and packaged to camouflage pain!
Trinkets can be sold, borrowed and stolen.
Faith is not a commodity!
Discovery is bliss...
If you,
Stroll into your limelight!
Brave.
Say goodbye to nightmares.
Say goodbye to foolishness,
Trapped by the passing of hat tricks!
And dare your dreams to come true!
Demand they appear.
Not as others wish they do for you!
But as you know them to be!
It's time for you to shine.
You can!
Just do.
Be brave...
Stroll into your limelight,
And glow!

Hit Between The Eyes
Music :rudolf schenker
Lyrics:herman rarebell, klaus meine, jim vallance
Late at night when youre all alone
Take a ride to the danger zone
If someone wants to cut you down to size
You never argue with a loaded .45
Just when youve had enough
Its really getting tough
Im ready for that hit between the eyes
Someone get me out of here alive
Im ready for that hit between the eyes
Cant you see Im much too young to die
You can feel the tension in the street
Theres no escape, getting closer to the heat
You play with fire, get your fingers burned
Its too late, past the point of no return
Just when youve had enough
Its really getting tough
Im ready for that hit between the eyes
Someone get me out of here alive
Im ready for that hit between the eyes
Cant you see Im much too young to die
Late at night when youre all alone
Take a ride to the danger zone
If someone wants to cut you down to size
You never argue with a loaded .45
Just when youve had enough
Its really getting tough
Im ready for that hit between the eyes
Someone get me out of here alive
Im ready for that hit between the eyes
Cant you see Im much too young to die
Im ready for that hit between the eyes
Someone get me out of here alive
Im ready for that hit between the eyes
Cant you see Im much too young to die

A Nude Artist
A Nude Artist
he says he is a nude artist
because he is naked when he paints
such nakedness has
nothing to do with being a nude artist
a naked artist who paints a cat or a chicken
is not a nude artist
there is no nude cat
thyere is no nude chicken
just paint a naked woman
and he will be called a nude artist
an artist is not an art
he must know that

Bring em all in, bringem all in, bring em all in,
Bring em all in, bring em all into my heart
Bring em all in, bring em all in, bring em all in
Bring em all in, bring em all into my heart
Bring the little fishes

Bring em out of purdah
Bring em out of store
Bring em out of hiding
Lay them at my door
Bring the unforgiven

Friday The Thirteenth
Friday the thirteenth
Lets see what you bring
Any more misery than usual
I’ve seen it all already
Double my work load
Are you going to try break me
Or hurt and leave me
Come on lets see what you’ve got
Bring it on, I can take it
I’m ready for the abuse
I’m ready for it to hit the fan
The day is still early
And I’m calling you out
I want to see what you’re made of
Friday the thirteenth
Lets see what you bring

Too Young
-artist: nat king cole
-peak billboard position # 1 for 5 weeks in 1951
-words by sylvia dee and music by sid lippman
-also charted by donny osmond at # 13 in 1972
They try to tell us were too young
Too young to really be in love
They say that loves a word
A word weve only heard
But cant begin to know the meaning of
And yet were not too young to know
This love will last though years may go
And then some day they may recall
We were not too young at all
And yet were not too young to know
This love will last though years may go
And then some day they may recall
We were not too young at all

Well I\'m ready for you... I hope you ready for me

Know you feel like I ain\'t nowhere
But stop what\'chor doin\' honey... come over here

Now I\'m ready for you... I hope you ready for me
Look out...

The main reason he wanted to be a recording artist was because it gives you much more freedom in your writing. You only have to please the artist and the artist is you so you can be more daring and experimental.
