First topic message reminder :

"Dancing With Myself"

On the floor of Tokyo
Or down in London town to go, go
With the record selection
And the mirror's reflection
I'm dancing with myself

When there's no-one else in sight
In the crowded lonely night
Well I wait so long
For my love vibration
And I'm dancing with myself

Oh dancing with myself
Oh dancing with myself
Well there's nothing to lose
And there's nothing to prove
I'll be dancing with myself

If I looked all over the world
And there's every type of girl
But your empty eyes
Seem to pass me by
Leave me dancing with myself

So let's sink another drink
'Cause it'll give me time to think
If I had the chance
I'd ask the world to dance
And I'll be dancing with myself

Oh dancing with myself
Oh dancing with myself
Well there's nothing to lose
And there's nothing to prove
I'll be dancing with myself

If I looked all over the world
And there's every type of girl
But your empty eyes
Seem to pass me by
Leave me dancing with myself

So let's sink another drink
'Cause it'll give me time to think
If I had the chance
I'd ask the world to dance
And I'll be dancing with myself

Oh dancing with myself
Oh dancing with myself
If I had the chance
I'd ask the world to dance
If I had the chance
I'd ask the world to dance
If I had the chance
I'd ask the world to dance

[Scat]

Dancing with myself
Dancing with myself
Dancing with myself
Dancing with myself

If I looked all over the world
And there's every type of girl
But your empty eyes
Seem to pass me by
Leave me dancing with myself

So let's sink another drink
'Cause it'll give me time to think
If I had the chance
I'd ask the world to dance
And I'll be dancing with myself

Oh dancing with myself
Oh dancing with myself
If I had the chance
I'd ask the world to dance
If I had the chance
I'd ask the world to dance
If I had the chance
I'd ask the world to dance

"Winter Wonderland"

Sleigh bells ring, are you listening,
In the lane, snow is glistening
A beautiful sight, We're happy tonight.
Walking in a winter wonderland.

Gone away is the bluebird,
Here to stay is the new bird
He sings a love song, as we go along,
Walking in a winter wonderland.

In the meadow we can build a snowman,
and pretend that he is Parson Brown
He'll say: Are you married? We'll say: No man,
But you can do the job when you're in town.

Later on, we'll conspire,
As we dream by the fire
To face unafraid, The plans that we've made,
Walking in a winter wonderland.

As we dream by the fire
To face unafraid, The plans that we've made,
Walking in a winter wonderland.
Walking in a winter wonderland.
Walking in a winter wonderland.
We'll be walking in a winter wonderland

"Run Rudolph Run"

Out of all the reindeer you know you're the mastermind
Run, run Rudolph, Randalph's way too far behind
Run, run Rudolph, Santa's got to make it to town
Santa make him hurry, tell him he can take the freeway down
Run, run Rudolph, reelin' like a merry-go-round

Said Santa to a boy child "What have you been longing for?"
"All I want for Christmas is a Rock and Roll electric
guitar"
And then away went Rudolph, whizzing like a shooting star

Run, run Rudolph, Santa has to make it to town
Santa make him hurry, tell him he can take the freeway down
Run, run Rudolph, reelin' like a merry-go-round

Run, run Rudolph, Santa has to make it to town
Santa make him hurry, tell him he can take the freeway down
Run, run Rudolph, reelin' like a merry-go-round

Said Santa to a girl child "What would please you most to
get?"
"A little baby doll that can cry, sleep, drink and wet"
And then away went Rudolph whizzing like a Saber jet

Run, run Rudolph, Santa has to make it to town
Santa make him hurry, tell him he can take the freeway down
Run, run Rudolph, reelin' like a merry-go-round

Run, run Rudolph, Santa has to make it to town

"Blue Christmas"

I'll have a blue Christmas without you
I'll be so blue just thinking about you
Decorations of red on a green Christmas tree
Won't be the same, dear, if you're not here with me

And when those blue snowflakes start falling
That's when those blue memories start calling
You'll be doin' all right with your Christmas of white
But I'll have a blue, blue, blue, blue Christmas

You'll be doin' all right with your Christmas of white
But I'll have a blue, blue, blue, blue Christmas

"Jingle Bell Rock"

Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells swing and jingle bells ring
Snowing and blowing up bushels of fun
Now the jingle hop has begun

Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time
Dancing and prancing in Jingle Bell Square
In the frosty air

What a bright time, it's the right time
To rock the night away
Jingle bell time is a swell time
To go gliding in a one-horse sleigh

Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and a-mingle in the jingling feet
That's the jingle bell rock

It's a bright time, it's the right time
To rock the night away
Jingle bell time is a swell time
To go gliding in a one-horse sleigh

Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and a-mingle in the jingling feet
That's the jingle bell rock

Christmas is coming
I just want to be with you
Nothing else that I could do
I'm wrapping myself up with you

Don't you know it's Christmas?
And I want you baby, by my side

Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and a-mingle in the jingling feet
That's the jingle bell rock

Yeah, that's the jingle bell rock
That's the jingle bell rock
Yeah, break it down for 'em real quick
It's Christmas baby, and I been waiting
You're all I need, I need, I need

"Christmas Love"

Have a merry Christmas
And a happy new year
Give everyone your blessin'
And spread the good cheer

The best gift you can give
Is the gift of love
It's what the whole world needs
It's what we're dreamin' of

So light up the fire
Walk through the snow
Come and stand with me now
Under the mistletoe

We all need some Christmas love
Gonna get my Christmas love
We all need some Christmas love

Children wrap your presents
Put them underneath the tree
If everybody gives
Then everyone receives

I see your pretty face
In the Christmas light
Children are excited
'Cause Santa comes tonight

So light up the fire
Walk through the snow
Come and stand with me now
Under the mistletoe

We all need some Christmas love
Gonna get my Christmas love
We all need some Christmas love

Well, I see Santa's been here
There's a smile on my face
He's brought all the presents
Put them right in their place

He's probably flyin' high
Across the moon
He'll be at your chimney
Any time soon

So light up the fire
Walk through the snow
Come and stand with me now
Under the mistletoe

We all need some Christmas love
Gonna get my Christmas love
We all need some Christmas love
That is what I'm thinkin' of
We all need some Christmas love

We all need some Christmas love
We all need some Christmas love
We all need some Christmas love
We all need some Christmas love

Christmas love, alright
Oh, Christmas love, I'm alright
We all need some Christmas love
We all need some Christmas love

"Silent Night"

Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon Virgin Mother and Child

Holy Infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace
Silent night, holy night!
Shepherds quake at the sight
Glories stream from heaven afar
Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia!
Christ, the Saviour is born
Christ, the Saviour is born

Silent night, holy night
Son of God, love's pure light
Radiant beams from Thy holy face
With the dawn of redeeming grace
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth

"Auld Lang Syne"

Should auld acquaintance be forgot
and never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
and (the) days of auld lang syne?
For auld lang syne, my dear,
for auld lang syne,
we'll take a cup of kindness yet, (cheer, my dear)
for auld lang syne.

[Billy eliminated the second verse:]

Should auld acquaintance be forgot
and never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
and days of auld lang syne?
And here's a hand, my trusty friend
And gie's a hand o' thine
We'll tak' a cup o' kindness

"Bitter Pill"

Riding down this road
Like I've riden down a million
I've run thru the epic rome
But I can't miss town
I laughed at all the signs
They say speed will kill ya'
A hit of you to slow me down

And I've forgotten
How to fly
But I'll remember
Before I die

It's a crooked line I follow
It's a rocky road I ride
It's a bitter pill I swallow
Just to keep you by my side
Oh my

I'm driving without sleep
There just ain't no tommorow
Because misery is always colorblind
I've taken every remedy for ignorance and sorrow
Something to cure this wicked mind

And I've forgotten
How to fly
But I'll remember
Before I die

It's a crooked line I follow
It's a rocky road I ride
It's a bitter pill I swallow
Just to keep you by my side
Just to keep you satisfied

And I've forgotten
The reason why
But I'll remember
Before I die

It's a crooked line I follow
It's a rocky road I ride
It's a bitter pill I swallow
Just to keep you by my side
Just to keep you satisfied

It's a crooked line I follow
It's a rocky road I ride
It's a bitter pill I swallow
Just to keep you by my side
Just to keep you satisfied
Just to keep you by my side
Satisfied
Satisfied
It's a wicked world baby

I'm riding down this road
Like I've riden down a million
I've run thru the epic rome
But I can't miss town
I laughed at all the signs
They say speed will kill ya'
It took you to slow me down

A hit of you to slow me down
It took of you to slow me down

A hit of you to slow me down
It took of you to slow me down

A hit of you to slow me down
It took you to slow me down, baby

A hit of you to slow me down
It took you to slow me down

"Buried Alive"

It's the season of the dark horse
The ocean of night
It's the angel of mercy
Leaving you behind
In this moment
You ache for the cure
You're pleading
Save me
Give me some more

There's no shelter tonight
Escape from the pain
There is nothing
No end to this game

You're so wicked
Evil and cruel
It won't save you
Save me
From what I'm gonna do

You're just a number
You're just a victim
A dead man walking
Buried alive

Hold out for a better hand
Wait for better days
You can feel it coming
The fury of my rage
My vengeance
Will rain down on you
There's no mercy
Have mercy
In what I'm gonna do

"Don't You (Forget About Me)"

[Originally performed by Simple Minds]

Hey, hey, hey ,hey
Watching ooh... yeah

Won't you come see about me?
I'll be alone, dancing and you know it baby

Tell me your troubles and doubts
Giving me everything inside and out, out
Love's strange so real in the dark
Think of the tender things that we were working on

Slow change may pull us apart
I'll get us back together at heart, baby

Don't You Forget About Me
Don't Don't Don't Don't
Don't You Forget About Me

Will you stand above me?
Look my way and never love me
Rain keeps falling, rain keeps falling
Down, down, down

Would you recognise me?
Call my name or walk on by
Rain keeps falling, rain keeps falling
Down, down, down

Hey, hey, hey, hey
Watching ooh..... yeah

Don't you try and pretend
It's my feeling we'll win in the end
I won't harm you or touch your defenses
Vanity and security

Don't you forget about me
I'll be alone, dancing and you know it baby
Going to take you apart
I'll put us back together at heart, baby

Don't You Forget About Me
Don't Don't Don't Don't
Don't You Forget About Me

As you walk on by
Will you call my name?
As you walk on by
Will you call my name?
As you walk on by
(As you walk on by)

Or will you walk on by?
Will you walk away?
Come on - call my name
Come on - call my name
Will you call my name?

I say
La la la...

Will you walk on by?
Would you call my name?
As you walk on by
Would you call my name?

Oh yeah
Come on and call my name
As you walk on by
Hey baby call my name!
When you walk on by
Would you call my name
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah....

"Into The Night"

And you say you wanna live forever
And you've got all the time to kill
And you're living in the dark forever
In your own little private hell

I wanna rule this world
I wanna walk the night
I wanna bleed this girl
Wanna shake it all night till the morning light

I wanna lead this world
I wanna wake the dead
And all the undead souls who walk the night

Are you sure you're so clean and pure
As you lie here in front of me now
And you're tempting the lord of darkness
As you see what's forbidden to see

I wanna rule this world
I wanna walk the night
I wanna bleed this girl
Wanna do it all night till the morning light

I wanna rule this world
I'm gonna wake the dead
And all the undead souls who walk the night

Oh yeah you know it's true
Yeah you yeah

When people say I'm from the underworld
Every kind of sin you best belive it girl
You come on over here from the other side
Come back to hell it's warm inside

I sleep through the day coz I'm into the night
I wanna through the day coz I live through the night
I sleep through the day coz I'm into the night
I wanna through the day coz I live through the night

Yeah you

I wanna rule this world, yeah
I'm gonna walk the night
I wanna rule this world
I wanna rule this night

And all the undead souls I wanna wake the dead
I wanna get you girl
I'm gonna rule this world

It's gonna be alright
Yeah

"Shakin' All Over (Live)"

Well I feel you right up close to me
That's when I get the shakes all over me
Well it quivers in my backbone
Ooh the shakes in the kneebone
Ooh shakin' in the thighbone
Shakin' all over

"Speed"

Running from the nightmare
In the middle of the road
Hell's no place for sleeping
In a world beyond control
Caught in the headlights
Coming after you
When I woke up this morning
I had to do what I gotta do
Blast me to Heaven for loving you
Blast me to Heaven for loving you

Speed
Give me what I need
Yeah
White lightning
Let's speed, on speed
On wheels, on wheels
Speed
Oh, let it bleed
Yeah
Greased lightning
Let's speed, on speed
On wheels, on wheels

I've seen a train full of pain
On the edge of overload
We're in Heaven, baby
You are gonna implode
I've got these crazy feelings
That I can't explain
I've gotta save you baby
Or I'll die in vain
Blast me to Heaven for loving you
I said blast me to Heaven just for loving you

I said speed
Give me what I need
Yeah
White lightning
Let's speed, on speed
On wheels, on wheels
Speed
Oh, let it bleed
Yeah
Greased lightning
Let's speed, on speed
On wheels, on wheels

Blast me to Heaven for loving you
I said blast me to Heaven for loving you

Now I'm rushing on the run, yeah

Give me what I need
Oh, set me free
Let's speed
On wheels, on wheels, on wheels
Said speed

On wheels, on wheels
