 Don't want  to dis-cuss  it,
 I think it's time  for a change.
 You may  get dis-gusted,
 And start thinkin'  that I'm actin' strange.
 In that case,  I'll go underground;
 Get some heavy rest.
Never  have to worry,
 About what is worst  and what is best.  Hit it!
 Oh, oh,  Domi-no,
 Roll me over,  Rome-o, there  you go. I said...
 Oh... oh...  Domi-no,

 2...CRAZY FACE... by Van Morrison
-----------------................
 All the people were waiting for  Crazy Face,
 He said he'd meet them at his favourite  place.
 Dressed in black satin, white linen  and lace,
 With his head held high and a smile  on his face. And he said;
 "Ladies and gentlemen; The Prince  is late",
 As he stood outside the church-yard  gate.
 And polished up on his .38  and said;
 "I got it from Jesse James".

 5...CALL ME UP IN DREAMLAND... by Van Morrison
------------------------------................
 Well, I tried,  and I tried,  but the river  seems so wide.
 And my head hurts  and my hands are tied.
 And it's so... hard,  when you're standing  on the yard,
 Every time  that your number  comes a-round.
 Call me up in Dreamland,  radio to me  man.
 Get the message to  me, anyway you can.
 Well, let your river roll,  a-way down in your soul,
 Never to grow old...  on the saxo-phone.
 From the airport,  to the plane,  a-way  to the railroad trains.
 Why can't we take  it from the top,  and start all over  again?
 Everytime you hear  that whistle blow,  you know  you gotta put  on your show;
 Every time  your number  comes a-round.
 Call me up in Dreamland,  radio to me  man.
 Get the message to  me, anyway you can.
 Well, let your river roll,  a-way down in your soul,
 Never to grow old...  on the saxo-phone.
 From the car,  to the bar;  or why  don't you pour it in a jar?
 An put a label  on it, and send  it off to the lost and found.
 You've gotta get  it in your brain,  but be-fore  you go in-sane;
 Every time  your number  comes a-round.  (Here it comes);
 Call me up in Dreamland,  radio to me  man.
 Get the message to  me, anyway you can.
 Well, let your river roll,  a-way down in your soul,
 Never to grow old...  on the saxo-phone.
 Never to grow old...  on the saxo-phone.
 Never to grow old...  on the saxo-phone. (Lord  have mercy!)

 6...I'LL BE YOUR LOVER TOO... by Van Morrison
-----------------------------................
 I'll be your man,  I'll under-stand.
 And do my best to take  good care of you.
 You'll be my queen,  I'll be your king.
 And I'll be  your lover too.
 Derry Down Green,  colours my dream.
 A dream that's daily  coming true.
 When day is through,  I will come to you,
 And tell you of your  many charms.
 You'll look at me,  with eyes that see.
 And melt into each  other's arms.
 And so I come,  to be the one.
 Who's always standing  next to you.
 Reach out for me,  so I can be.
 The one who's always reaching  out for you.
 You'll be my queen,  I'll be your king,
 And I'll be your lover too.
 (Spoken):
 "How was that?"

 Light up your  golden smile take a-way all your misery  and gloom.
 Let your laughter fill  the room,
 Let your laughter fill  the room.
 Let us shake you by the hand;  let us help you under-stand.
 Take your head  out of the sand and shake it free  now.
 Let us help you to go on;  we are here to lean up-on.
 Now you know ex-actly  just who you want to be  now.  Come on...
 Sit down, funny face;  let your laughter fill  the room.
 Light up your  golden smile take a-way all your misery  and gloom.
 Let your laughter fill  the room,
 Let your laughter fill  the room.
 Let us lift you up on high;  see the twinkle in your eye.
 Raise your head  up to the sky, and say it's easy.
 Hey, let the trumpets ring  it,  let the angels sing  it.
 Let your pretty  feet go dancing,
 Let your worn out mind go prancing.  And...
 Sit down, funny face;  let your laughter fill  the room.
 Light up your  golden smile take a-way all your misery  and gloom.
 Let your laughter fill  the room,
 Let your laughter fill  the room.
 Let your laughter fill  the room,
 Let your laughter fill  the room.

 11...IF I EVER NEEDED SOMEONE... by Van Morrison
--------------------------------................
 Lord, if I ever,  needed someone;  I need you.
 Lord, if I ever,  needed someone;  I need you.
 To see me through the daytime,  and through the long lonely night.
 To lead me through the darkness,  and on into the light.
 To stand with me when I'm troubled,  and help me through my strife.
 When times get so un-certain  I turn,  to you, in my young  life.
 Lord, if I ever,  needed someone;  I need you.
 Lord, if I ever,  needed someone;  I need you.
 Someone to hold onto,  and keep me from all fear.
 Someone to be my guiding  light,  and keep me ever dear.
 To keep me from my selfishness,  to keep me from my sorrow.
 To lead me on to giving-ness,  so I can see a new to-morrow.
 Lord, if I ever,  needed someone;  I need you.
 Lord, if I ever,  needed someone;  I need you.
 Someone to walk  with, someone  to hold by the hand.
 Someone to talk  with, someone  to under-stand.
 To call on when I need  you,  and I need you very much.
 To open up my arms to you,  and feel your tender touch.
 To feel it and to keep  it,  just right here in my soul.
 And care for it, and keep it with  me;  never to grow old.
 Lord, if I ever,  needed someone;  I need you.
 Lord, if I ever,  needed someone;  I need you.

 (Original Key: )
 Street choir; sing  me the song  for the new  day.
 Don't make it long,  and re-member  to sing  it the old  way.
 Let it all out; let  your voice  ring in the street  now.
 My fun, will  be this one  to com-plete  now.
 Why did you  leave A-merica?
 Why did you let  me down?
 And now that things  seem better  off;
 Why do you come a-round?
 You know I just  can't see  you now,
 In my new world crystal ball.
 You know I just  can't free  you now;
 That's not my job at all.
 Move it on  up, move  it on  up by the window.
 Mag-nificent flow; let  it all go,  in the moonglow.
 I'll take the wine, I'll  take the wine  in the gravy.
 Ask you the time,  and just  send the bill  to my baby.
 Why did you  leave A-merica?
 Why did you let  me down?
 And now that things  seem better  off;
 Why do you come a-round?
 You know I just  can't see  you now,
 In my new world crystal ball.
 You know I just  can't free  you now;
 That's not my job at all.
 Why did you  leave A-merica?

You've gotta [A]get it in your [E7]brain, but be-[D]fore you go in-[A]sane;
Every [D]time your [E7]number comes a-[A]round. (Here it comes);

Call me up in [A]Dreamland, radio to [D]me man.
