What will they say
Monday at school?
Sandy, can't you see
I'm in misery?
You made a start, now we're apart
There's nothing left for me
Love has flown all alone
I sit and wonder why, oh?
Why you left me, oh Sandy
Oh Sandy, baby, someday
When high school is done
Somehow, someway
Our two worlds will be one
In Heaven forever
And ever we will be
Oh please, say you'll stay
Oh Sandy
Sandy my darlin', you hurt me real bad
You know it's true
But baby you gotta believe me when I say
I'm helpless without you
Love has flown all alone
I sit I wonder why
Why you left me, oh Sandy?
Oh, I'm loving what I see
Each time you smile at me
I love the look of what you're thinking
I know how it feels to fly
I'm glowing like the sky that's on fire
As the sun is sinking
Oh, you set my dreams to music
As you spend the whole night making them come true
And in my whole life
I have never had a dream as sweet as you
No-one else I ever knew
Touch me quite like you
Or say as much
Without a word now
Love, I'm hoping you can see a song's inside of me
That holds more love
Than any song you've heard, now
Oh, you set my dreams to music
As you spend the whole night making them come true
And in my whole life
I have never had a dream as sweet as you
And in my whole life
I got chills they're multiplying
And I'm losing control
Cause the power you're supplying
It's Electrifying!
You better shape up cause I need a man
And my heart is set on you
You better shape up, you better understand
To my heart I must be true(nothin left, nothin left for me to do)
You're the one that I want(You are the one I want) oh oh oh honey
You're the one that I want(You are the one I want) oh oh oh honey
You're the one that I want(You are the one I want) oh oh oh honey
The one that I neeeeeed oh yes indee-ee-heed
If you're filled with affection
You're too shy to convey
Meditate in my direction
Feel your way
I better shape up, cause you need a man (I need a man)
Who can keep me satisfied
I better shape up, if I'm gonna prove (you better prove)
That my faith is justified
Are you sure? Yes I'm sure down deep inside
You're the one that I want (You are the one I want)oh oh oh honey
You're the one that I want(You are the one I want) oh oh oh honey
You're the one that I want(You are the one I want) oh oh oh honey

Whenever I´m away from you, baby
There´s nothin´ much I wanna do, oh baby
If you could only see
What I´ve been goin´ through (goin´ through)
Without you (without you)
Each day I smile so well, but they can´t see
The real me that´s inside hurtin´
I read my books to occupy myself
The therapy, it´s just not workin´
And it´s only my imagination
Somethin´ in mind
´Cause the only indication
Is I´m wastin´ my time
I´ve lived in fairytales and nursery rhymes
An uphill climb without an ending
Although my life with you had ups and downs
Smiles and frowns, just pretending
And it´s only my imagination
Somethin´ in mind
´Cause the only indication
Is I´m wastin´ my time
Whenever I´m away from you, baby
There´s nothin´ much I want to do, oh baby
I´m just livin´ for the day I make you mine (make you
mine)
What would they say if we up and ran away
From the roaring crowd
And the worn out city faces
Would they carry on and on
When they found out we were gone
Or would they let us go
Would they tag along or would they just...
Leave us alone, we´d live in the country
Leave us alone, we´d make it just fine
Happy in a one-room shack
And we´d not look back
Now would we
What would they do if they found out we were through
With the little lies and the downtown aggravations
That we traded them away for a quiet country day
That we had hoped to share
Would they try to find out where we were, or...
We go together like ra ma la ma
La ma ka dinga kading a dong
Remember forever, as shoo wop
Shoo waddy waddy yippity boom de boom
Chang chang changity chang shoo bop
That's the way it should be, wahoo yeah
We're one of the kind, like dip da dip da dip
Doo wop da doo dee doo
Our names are signed, a boogedy boogedy boogedy
Boogedy shooby shoo wop she bop
Chang chang changity chang shoo bop
We'll always be like one wa wa wa one
When we go out at night
And stars are shining bright
Up in the skies above
Or at the highschool dance
Where you can find romance
Baby, it might be love
Ra ma la ma la ma ka dinga kading a dong
Shoo wop shoo waddy waddy yippity boom de boom
Chang chang changity chang shoo bop
Dip da dip da dip doo wop da doo dee doo

We'll always be together, wahoo, yeah

We'll always be together
You know what the problem with Hollywood is?
They make shit.
Unbelievable, unremarkable shit.
Now I'm not some grungy wannabe filmmaker
that's searching for existentialism
through a haze of bong smoke or something.
No, it's easy to pick apart bad acting, short-sighted
directing,
and a purely moronic stringing together of words that
many of the studios term as "prose".
No, I'm talking about the lack of realism.
Realism; not a pervasive element in today's modern
American cinematic vision.
Take Dog Day Afternoon, for example.
Arguably Pacino's best work, short of Scarface and
Godfather Part 1, of course.
Masterpiece of directing, easily Lumet's best.
The cinematography, the acting, the screenplay, all
top-notch.
But... they didn't push the envelope.
Now what if in Dog Day, Sonny REALLY wanted to get away
with it?
What if - now here's the tricky part - what if he
started killing hostages right away? No mercy, no
quarter.
"Meet our demands or the pretty blonde in the
bellbottoms gets it the back of the head." Bam, splat!
What, still no bus? Come on! How many innocent victims
splattered across a window would it take to have the
city reverse its policy on hostage situations? And this
is 1976; there's no CNN, there's no CNBC, there's no
internet!
Now fast forward to today, present time, same
situation.
How quickly would the modern media make a frenzy over
this?
In a matter of hours, it'd be biggest story from Boston
to Budapest!
Ten hostages die, twenty, thirty; bam bam, one after
another.
All caught in high-def, computer-enhanced, color
corrected.
You can practically taste the brain matter.
All for what? A bus, a plane?
A couple of million dollars that's federally insured?
I don't think so. Just a thought. I mean, it's not
Summer lovin' had me a blast
Summer lovin' happened so fast
I met a girl crazy for me
Met a boy cute as can be
Summer days driftin' away
To uh, oh those summer nights
Uh well-a, well-a, well-a, uh!
Tell me more, tell me more
Did you get very far?
Tell me more, tell me more
Like, does he have a car?
She swam by me, she got a cramp
He ran by me, got my suit damp
I saved her life, she nearly drowned
He showed off splashing around
Summer sun, something's begun
But uh, oh those summer nights
Uh well-a, well-a, well-a, uh!
Tell me more, tell me more
Was it love at first sight?
Tell me more, tell me more
Did she put up a fight?
Took her bowlin' in the arcade
We went strollin', drank lemonade
We made out under the dock
We stayed out 'til ten o'clock
Summer fling don't mean a thing
But uh, oh those summer nights
Woah, woah, woah
Tell me more, tell me more
But you don't gotta brag
Tell me more, tell me more
'Cause he sounds like a drag
He got friendly holdin' my hand
Well, she got friendly down in the sand
He was sweet, just turned eighteen
Well, she was good, you know what I mean
Woah!
Summer heat, boy and girl meet
But uh, oh those summer nights
Woah, woah, woah
Tell me more, tell me more
How much dough did he spend?
Tell me more, tell me more
Could she get me a friend?
It turned colder, that's where it ends
So I told her we'd still be friends
Then we made our true love vow
Wonder what she's doin' now
Summer dreams ripped at the seams
But oh, those summer nights
Sun goes down on a silky day
And quarter moon walkinī through the Milky Way
Itīs you and me baby
We could think of somethinī to do, īcause
Itīs the right time of the night
The stars are winkinī above
And itīs the right time of the night
For makinī love
No use talkinī when the shadows fall
Nightbirdīs callinī and he says it all
And itīs me and you baby
We could think of somethinī to do
(Somethinī to do)
Hey, īcause
I got you and you got me
Honey, thatīs the way our momma
Always said it should be
Youīll be sweet, Iīll be kind
Weīll be bad, if you donīt mind
Yes...
Yes, itīs the right time of the night
The stars are winkinī above
And itīs the right time of the night
Oh baby, letīs make love
Yes, itīs the right time of the night
Baby, letīs make love
(The stars are winkinī above)
Baby, letīs make love
(Itīs the right time of the night)
No use pretendin things can still be right
Theres really nothin more to say
Ill get along without your kiss goodnight
Just close the door and walk away
Never gonna fall in love again
I dont wanna start with someone new
Cause I couldnt bear to see it end
Just like me and you
No, I never wanna feel the pain
Of rememberin how it used to be
Never gonna fall in love again
Just like you and me
At first we thought that love was here to stay
The summer made it seem so right
But like the sun we watched it fade away
The rich gal she ride in an automobile
Poor gal do quite the same
My gal she rides an old ugly hay wagon
But she's getting round just the same
(Chorus:)
Well I'll be there in the morning if I live
(If I live)
I'll be there in the morning if I don't get killed
(If I don't get killed)
If I never, never see you no more
Why don't you please remember me
The rich gal when she's fighting, she'll bop you with a stick
Poor gal do quite the same
My gal get a rusty razor and run you all over town
Because she's raising hell just the same
(Chorus)
The rich gal, she drink that good ol' whiskey
Poor gal she drink quite the same
But my gal she drinks that nasty old Thunderbird wine
And she gets twisted just the same
(Chorus)
A rich gal she'll kiss you nice, she'll kiss you oh so sweet
Poor gal she do quite the same
My gal she'll jump on you, she'll snaggle on your lips
And she will loving you just the same
Look at the rain and look at the stars tonight
All fallin´ down on me
See them tumble through my door
I look at your face
The light is in your eyes
And there´s something there I need
I long to hold a little more
Moonlight lady, let me in
Take me in your arms again
I´m Lost in trouble here tonight
Moonlight lady, hold my hands
And let me know you understand
When I say I need a friend
Stay here with me till the end
Deep in the heart of nowhere
I´m still on the lookout for a sign
That there´s an answer in the cards
The more apart, the more I need you at my side
To shine the light you have
To guide me through the stars
Stay here with me till the end
I'm different today, hey-hey
Somethin' she said has stuck in my head
And I can't get away
Gonna let her in
Gonna let her in, um-hmm
Gonna let her in my life
You know what I find, I find
A look at her face and there isn't a trace
Of doubt in my mind
Gonna let her in
Gonna let her in, um-hmm
Gonna let her in my life
Let her in my life
Gonna open up
After so long
Gonna open up
After so long
With my feet stuck on the ground
And my head against the wall
I've been called
And I can't answer why, why-hy
Somethin' inside and it can't be denied
And I'm ready to try
Gonna let her in
Gonna let her in, um-hmm
Gonna let her in my life
Gonna let her in
Gonna let her in, um-hmm
Gonna let her in my life
Let her in my life
Gonna let her in, woah-woah
Gonna let her in my life
Let her in my li-fe
Gonna let her in, woah-woah
Gonna let her in my life
How many arms have held you
And hated to let you go?
How many? How many? I wonder
But I really don't want to know
And how many lips have kissed you
And set your soul aglow?
How many? How many? I wonder
But I really don't want to know
So always make me wonder
And always make me guess
Even if I ask you
Darlin', don't confess
No you just let that remain your secret
'Cause darlin', I do love you so
How many? How many? I wonder
But I really don't want to know
How many? How many? I wonder
Have you ever heard of Harry Houdini?
Well he wasn't like today's magicians who are only
interested in television ratings. He was an artist. He
could make an elephant disappear in the middle of a
theater filled with people, and do you know how he did
that? Misdirection.
What the fuck are you talking about?
Misdirection. What the eyes see and the ears hear, the
Ladies and gentlemen, the one, the only

'Twas in the merry month of May
When green buds all were swellin'
Sweet William on his death bed lay
For the love of Barbara Allen
He sent his servant to the town
To the place where she was dwellin'
Saying, "You must come to my master dear,
If your name be Barb'ry Allen"
So slowly, slowly she got up,
And slowly she drew nigh to him,
And the only words to him did say
"Young man, I think you're dying"
He turned his face unto the wall
And death was in him welling
Goodbye, goodbye to my friends all
Be kind to Barb'ry Allen
When he was dead and laid in grave
She heard the death bells knellin'
And every stroke to her did say
"Hard-hearted Barb'ry Allen"
"Oh mother, oh mother, go dig my grave
Make it both long and narrow
Sweet William died of love for me
And I will die of sorrow"
"Oh father, oh father, go dig my grave
Make it both long and narrow
Sweet William died on yesterday
And I will die tomorrow"
Barb'ry Allen was buried in the old church-yard
Sweet William was buried beside her
Out of Sweet William's heart there grew a rose
Out of Barb'ry Allen's, a briar
They grew and gew in the old church-yard
'Til they could grow no higher
At the end they formed a true lovers' knot
I just can´t get enough of you, baby
There just ain´t enough of you to go around
And just when I´m needing you, baby
You ain´t nowhere to be found
Baby, it´s getting´ me down, because I´m...
All strung out on you, baby
All strung out on you, baby
All strung out on you, baby
Oh, baby-baby, why can´t you love me
Baby-baby be thinkin´ of me
Baby-baby I´m all strung out on you
It hurts when you needle me, baby
But I´d rather have the pain then lose your love
I know you´re no good for me, baby
But I´ll keep trippin´ around
Trackin´ you all over town, because I´m...
I love you
Just the way you are
Like a little fallen star
I´m gonna catch you someday
(Gonna catch you someday)
And you´ll never get away
(Never get away), because I´m...
I´m all strung out on you, baby
All strung out on you, baby
All strung out on you, baby
All strung out on you, baby
(Baby, I´m all strung out)
(All strung out)
(All strung out)
