A Visit From Diotima ll
D Do you like it?
MM Hell, yes.
D What do you like about it?
MM I dunno. It's...different.
D The second verse reprises the first.
MM Oh?
D Check it out.
(sings)
'Our love is so odd, odd, odd-
Baby, oh, baby, oh, baby,
Odd, odd, odd, odd, odd! -
How do you like it, so far?
MM Well, English is a funny language.
But I like it-oddly enough.
If you could only not sing so loud...
It's after three, remember.
D What does it matter?
(there is a pounding on the ceiling)
MM It's Louise. You woke her up. Now you've done it!
She's Russian. She works for the Post Office.
D What a racket! What's she saying?
MM How should I know? She doesn't communicate in Morse code.
But she doesn't sound happy. Now, Diotima, that's enough.
I only hope she goes back to sleep.
D I wouldn't be intimidated, if I were you.
MM Easy for you to say.

Man, Its So Loud In Here
They fixed up the corner store like it was a night club
Its permanently disco
Everyone is dressed so oddly I cant recognize them
I cant tell the staff from the customers
Baby check this out, Ive got something to say
Man, its so loud in here
When they stop the drum machine and I can think again
Ill remember what it was
You have to carry all your things
You cant misplace them
Theres nowhere to place anything
Baby check this out, Ive got someting to say
Man, its so loud in here
When they stop the drum machine and I can think again
Ill remember what it was
Theyre all shouting something at us, waving and pointing
They revamped the airport completely now it looks just like a night club
Everyones excited and confused
Baby check this out, Ive got someting to say
Man, its so loud in here
When they start the love machine and I can love again
Ill remember what it was
Baby check this out, Ive got someting to say
Man, its so loud in here

A Visit From Diotima lll
MM Easy for you to say.
(a pounding at the door. Shouting from outside)
L Hey, cut the racket in there, I'm trying to sleep.
Third time this week! Do you know what time it is?
One more peep, I'll rip your eyes out!
MM Sorry, Louise, really. It won't happen again.
L Right! I'm calling the super, tomorrow...I mean, today.
It's time this building got a little pest control!
MM It won't happen again, Louise. Sorry.
(she leaves)
D So that's Louise. She sounds like a mob of one.
MM Yeah. Now are you amused?
D I hope so-I'm a muse, after all.
MM I mean as in satisfied. Louise was pissed and it's your fault.
D Excuse me? I don't know what you mean.
MM You were singing a little loud. Given the hour.
D Oh, don't try to put this on me! Fine, when you need me around.
But when I need you-it's MY FAULT.
MM Ssh, she'll be back.
D Wuss! Ask me if I care.You might cope with your neighbors
if you had any balls!
MM Diotima, I think it's time.
D (standing up on the bed) Are you throwing me out?
I know my rights! (shouts) RAPA! RAPA!
MM Stop! And watch those heels. This is a water bed.
D The last one in the country! Why don't you get a real bed?
MM My back. Doctor's orders. Besides, I like it.
Now, if you'll excuse me.

Don't Wonder Why
(Verse 1)
You never see, the little sparkle, in my eye
I wonder why
Sometimes I wish, you stop and hold me, but you pass right by
I wonder why
I tried, everything I could, I even change my walk, the way that I stood
But you, pass by me, and pretend that you don't, even see me
But I want you to know (Uuuummmm)
If one day you decide to smile, and say hello and I say goodbye (Uuuummmm)
Don't wonder why my baby (no) Don't wonder why my baby
(Verse 2)
When I think of how you hurt me, it brings the tears, to my eyes
I just can't seem to make you happy, no matter how hard I try
I wonder why
Seems like, no matter what I do, it's never good, enough for you
My pain, it shows loud, but it still can't let go now, but I want you to know,
now
Nights grow old and winds blow cold, so old if my loves grows cold
And I, don't wonder why my baby (woooo)baby don't wonder why
Oh yeah!
(Instrumental)
(Yeaaahhh) Seems like, no matter what I do, i'am never, never, never, never,
never good enough for you
My pain it shows loud, oh you know I still just no matter I just can't let go
now, but I want you to know!!!
Love me bab
Nights grow old and winds blow cold, and so old, if my love grows cold
And I've, don't wonder why bab
No, no, no, no, don't wonder why my baby
Baby don't wonder why, don't wonder why my baby
Don't wonder why ,my baby
No, no, no, no don't wonder why my baby (Ooohhh)
don't wonder why my baby
Can you hear me, can you hear me

It Be's That Way Sometime
When your guy has got his hat, and made himself hard to find
It doesn? mean you should go crazy, it be? that way sometime
Find yourself another love who will treat you good and kind
Return that love he gives to you, it also be? that way sometime
Baby, yes it does
Baby, yes it does
Baby, yes it does
Baby, yes it does
Baby
When you think you?e found a love and you have peace of mind somebody else
steals his heart
Yes it also be? that way sometime
Baby, yes it does
Baby, yes it does
Baby, yes it does
Baby, yes it does
Baby
Don? let the problems of this world drive you slowly out of your mind
Just smile look at the problem and say it be? that way sometime

You Come Through
Baby, baby I dont understand
I hope you never take a swing across town
That would leave me stranded
Oh, little honey pie
Theres a lot of people lonely
Ive had a few of them scratchin my back
Wantin to control me
And they say only fools believe
Anything is guaranteed
But when I need you baby you come through
When I need you baby you come through
Oh baby nothin will console me
I could use somebody scratchin my back
Honey will you hold me?
Cause I could never quite believe
Anything is guaranteed
But when I need you baby you come through
When I need you baby you come through
Heaven knockin on your door
Oh whats the matter baby
I guess thats what friends are for
Baby, baby Im about to lose it
Little girl it isnt easy
Can you get me through it
Cause they say only fools believe
Anything is guaranteed
But when I need you baby you come through
Oh when I need you baby you come through
When I need you baby you come through
When I need you baby you come through

Crazy Baby
(Chorus)
If you get your say, baby
your gonna have your way
not gonna be too easy, baby
keeping tabs on me, maybe
your gonna make me, crazy baby
watching every move I make.
(Verse 1)
checking up on me, daily
doesn`t` change a thing
I just need my space, baby
always in my face book, lately
staying up all night,
you can`t take my link, away.
(Verse 2)
always there`s a controversy
never showing me no mercy
If I give in today, baby
doing things your way
you got to back away, giving
up control of me.
(Verse3)
Now we got an understanding
might be kind of underhanded
seeing how you, got control of me
wasn`t` really hard, Knowing
how to play my cards
Cause it`s where, I think we got to be.
(Chorus)
If you get your say, baby
your gonna have your way
not gonna be too easy, baby
keeping tabs on me, maybe
your gonna make me crazy baby
watching ever move I make.

A Christmas Lullabay
A Christmas Lullaby
Sleep, baby, sleep! The Mother
sings:
Heaven's angels kneel and fold
their wings.
Sleep, baby, sleep!
With swathes of scented hay Thy
bed
By Mary's hand at eve was
spread.
Sleep, baby, sleep!
At midnight came the shepherds,
they
Whom seraphs wakened by the
way.
Sleep, baby, sleep!
And three kings from the East
afar,
Ere dawn came, guided by the
star.
Sleep, baby, sleep!
They brought Thee gifts of gold
and gems,
Pure orient pearls, rich diadems.
Sleep, baby, sleep!
Thou who liest slumbering there,
Art King of Kings, earth, ocean,
air.
Sleep, baby, sleep!
Sleep, baby, sleep! The shepherds
sing:
Through heaven, through earth,
hosannas ring.
Sleep, baby, sleep!

Show Me
Baby I love you
And god knows it too
I’ll put no one above you
For the reason that my love is true
As a matter of fact
I give you my heart and I don’t want it back
Baby if you want me
You got to show me love
Baby if you want me
I act crazy but all I want is a hug
Baby you know I love you
I will never let u go for you are of great value
Baby you've got my devotion
And I stop fight the ocean
This love is overwhelming
And I hope your heart isn’t pending
Baby if you love me
You’ve got to show me love
At times I act crazy but I’ll simmer down with yr tender touch
Baby you know I Love You
And I’ll tell it to the whole world
I love u that much I’ll gladly give you a baby boy or girl
Baby if you love me
You got to show me love
Baby I love you
Every second of every minute you are the one I’m thinking of
What I need from you is to hold my hand
I think you are the epitome of a real man
Come with your heart in your hand
For my love is guaranteed
At nights I can’t wait to sleep
Because in my dreams you’re all I see
Words are so easy to say
You know I love you because I show it in every possible way
Baby if you want me
You got to make me believe...that this love is more than real
I’m ready to come out of my shell for there is so much of me to reveal
This love I have (that belongs to) can’t retreat
I look forward to your kisses...Your lips taste so sweet
Baby I just want you
And I hope u want me too
You got to show me...you got to show me
You got to show me love...
I’m baring it all my glove has come off
Whenever I call I need you to be there
Show me you love me and tell me you'll always care

Sometimes i feel like i don't know
Sometimes i feel like checkin' out
I want to get it wrong
Can't always be strong
And love it won't be long...
Oh sugar, don't you cry
Oh child, wipe the tears from your eyes
You know i need you to be strong
And the day is as dark as the night is long
Feel like trash, you make me feel clean
I'm in the black, can't see or be seen
Baby, baby, baby...light my way
(alright now)
Baby, baby, baby...light my way
You bury your treasure
Where it can't be found
But your love is like a secret
That's been passed around
There is a silence that comes to a house
Where no one can sleep
I guess it's the price of love
I know it's not cheap
(oh, come on)
Baby, baby, baby...light my way
(oh, come on)
Baby, baby, baby...light my way
Oh...ultraviolet...
Ultraviolet...
Ultraviolet...
Ultraviolet...
Baby, baby, baby...light my way
I remember
When we could sleep on stones
Now we lie together
In whispers and moans
When i was all messed up
And i had opera in my head
Your love was a light bulb
Hanging over my bed
Baby, baby, baby...light my way
(oh, come on)
Baby, baby, baby...light my way
Ultraviolet...

my world would be worth giving if the last thing I saw was you
If today was the last day I could see…oh baby if you knew
That my sight would be worth giving if the last thing I saw was you
If today was the last day I could ever hear a sound
Baby I wouldn’t give a hell, as long as you would be around
Sweetheart if today was the last day I could feel your touch
I would savor the last moment you hugged me so I wouldn’t care as much
Babes if It happened that someone took my voice away
I wouldn’t care because you know already what I would say
Oh if someday I did something to which you would not agree
It would be okay, because baby I know you would forgive me
Baby, maybe I’m addicted
Just by this love afflicted
Because Maybe, baby this is untrue
But I figure if I never have you, ill never lose you
Or maybe baby I’m over thinking just a bit
Maybe ill never get this message to transmit
Maybe, baby, I just want to stay
Maybe this crush isn’t really going away
Maybe, baby….I might love you
baby if you only just knew
That my world would be worth giving if the last thing I saw was you……

When I See You Again
Written by stevie nicks.
When I see you again
Will it be the same
When I see you again
Will it be over
When I see you again
Will your great eyes still say
Whats the matter, baby
Whats the matter, baby
Whats the matter, baby, baby, baby
Whats the matter, baby
Whats the matter, baby
Whats the matter, baby, baby
So she walks slowly down the hall
There are many doors in the hallway
And she stares at the stairs
Ooh there are many things to stare at these days
If she sees him again
Will your very best friend
Will your very best friend
Oh, have been replaced by some other
Whats the matter, baby
Whats the matter, baby
Whats the matter, baby, baby, baby
Whats the matter, baby
Whats the matter, baby
Whats the matter, baby, baby
And the dream says I want you
And the dream is gone
So she stays up night on end
Well at least there is a dream left
If I see you again
Will it be over
If I see you again
Will it be the same
If I see you again
Will it be over
Again and again
Over and over

Women got legs, men got pants
I got the picnic, you got the ants,
Put it in the fire heaven knows
Take my torch and touch your toes in hell
Its a burning hell
You can burn in hell

You can burn in hell
Its a burning hell
Women dont fret, boys dont bet
Let me see your silhouette in hell
Women above me take my love
Love, love, love, love, love, love, love

Baby, baby, baby, Im hell

Girl stop moving, boy behave
Baby, Ill put you in an early grave in hell
Love on the ceiling, love on the floor
Im gonna leave you burning for more
Burn in the country, burn downtown
All the best people are burning down in hell, hell, ah hell
Its a burning hell
Youll burn in hell
Its a big, burning, giant, colossal matter

Act Of Love
Neil Young - "Mirror Ball") (performed live on various dates)
The fruit of love was in the future
Around the corner and over the hill
The act of love was slowly pounding, slowly pounding, slowly pounding.
The Holy War was slowly building
Heroes leaving for the Great Crusade
Seek reward in the ever after, ever after, ever after.
Don't wanna have to lose you baby
Don't want to have to take you back
You know I'll never lose you baby, abuse you baby, use you baby.
You know I'll always help you baby, but you know I just can't do that.
I know I said I'd help you baby, here's ny wallet, call me sometime.

Oh, Baby, sssss, oh, it's so good, hm, umm,
Umm, umm, umm, umm, umm, hm, get it, Baby, get it
You've been with me through the hardest times
And you've kept my heart, body, soul and mind together
(You, you, you) It's been us two against the world
It ain't been easy but we sho' made it together
Thanks to (you, you, you) you, you, you
All I wanna say is Baby (Baby) oh my Baby (Baby)

Oh, yeah, Baby (Baby) oh my Baby (Oh my Baby)

Hoo, yeah, yeah
When my world had fallen to the ground
Your love was there always around
And I love you, and I love you, hoo, I love you, hoo, hoo
Ho, oh---, the world keeps changing in which we live
Sometimes people just don't have the time to give
That very special part of them that keeps our love together
Oh Baby, take my love, I hope you keep this forever
You (I love you) God bless you
(I love you) I love you (I really do)
Oh, hoo (Hey, hey and I love, I love you) I love you (I love you)
