Every day I get in the queue (Too much, Magic Bus)
To get on the bus that takes me to you (Too much, Magic Bus)
I'm so nervous, I just sit and smile (Too much, Magic Bus)
You house is only another mile (Too much, Magic Bus)

Thank you, driver, for getting me here (Too much, Magic Bus)
You'll be an inspector, have no fear (Too much, Magic Bus)
I don't want to cause no fuss (Too much, Magic Bus)
But can I buy your Magic Bus? (Too much, Magic Bus)

Nooooooooo!

I don't care how much I pay (Too much, Magic Bus)
I wanna drive my bus to my baby each day (Too much, Magic Bus)

I want it, I want it, I want it, I want it ... (You can't have it!)

The 'oo

[Hazlinny]

I had to go back to that house one more time
To see if the camellias were in bloom
For so many reasons its been on my mind
The house on Belmont Avenue

Built up on cinder blocks off the ground
What with the rain and the soft swampy land
By the sweet honeysuckle that grew all around
Were switches when we were bad

I took a bus to Baton Rouge
I took a bus to Baton Rouge

Lucinda Williams

[mushroom25]

The fragrant honeysuckle spirals clockwise to the sun
And many other creepers do the same
But some climb anti-clockwise, the bindweed does, for one

Or convolvulus, to give her proper name
Rooted on either side a door, one of each species grew
And raced towards the window-ledge above

Each corkscrewed to the lintel in the only way it knew
Where they stopped, touched tendrils, smiled, and fell in love
Said the right-handed honeysuckle to the left-handed bindweed

Oh, let us get married, if our parents don't mind
We'd be loving and inseparable, inextricably entwined
We'd live happily ever after, said the honeysuckle to the bindweed

To the honeysuckle's parents it came as a shock
The bindweeds, they cried, are inferior stock
They're uncultivated, of breeding bereft
We twine to the right and they twine to the left!".....

You pass something down, no matter where or how
Well there'll be weeds or wildflowers fixed upon your brow
And there's a crooked burning cigarette rolling on your tongue
Will there be weeds or wildflowers when you're done

Carry on my wayward son
There'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Don't you cry no more

Kansas

[Hazlinny]

Don't cry for me
Don't shed a tear
The time I've shared with you will always be
And when I'm gone
Please carry on
Don't cry for me

Don't shed a tear

Sam Feldt & Whitney Houston

[Arksided]

If the sky that we look upon
Should tumble and fall
Or the mountain should crumble to the sea
I won't cry, I won't cry
No, I won't shed a tear
Just as long as you stand
Stand by me

Ben E. King

[Hazlinny]

Stand by your man
Give him two arms to cling to
And something warm to come to
When nights are cold and lonely

Stand by your man
And show the world you love him
Keep giving all the love you can
Stand by your man

Tammy Wynette

I want to run but there's no place to go
’Cause heartaches will follow me I know
Without your love, the love I need
It's the beginning of the end for me
You took away my reason for living
You pushed aside the love I been giving
Now wait a minute

Standing in the shadows of love 
Waiting for my heartaches to come
Standing in the shadows of love 
Waiting for my heartaches to come

Barry White

I'm gonna run to you
Yeah! - I'm gonna run to you
Cause when the feeling's right I'm gonna stay all night
I'm gonna run to you

[mushroom25]

Say it's true, there's nothing like me and you
I'm not alone, tell me you feel it too
And I would run away
I would run away, yeah, yeah
I would run away
I would run away with you

'Cause I have, I've fallen in love with you
No, I never have, I'm never gonna stop
Falling in love with you

Close the door, lay down upon the floor
And by candlelight, make love to me through the night (through the night)
'Cause I have run away
I have run away, yeah, yeah
I have run away, run away
I have run away with you

'Cause I have, I've fallen in love with you (fallen in love)
No, I never have, I'm never gonna stop
Falling in love with you
With you.......

As I walk along, I wonder
What went wrong with our love
A love that was so strong

And as I still walk on, I think of
The things we've done together
While our hearts were young

I'ma walkin' in the rain
Tears are fallin' and I feel the pain
Wishin' you were here by me
To end this misery

I wonder
I wo-wo-wo wonder
Why... why-why-why-why-why
She ran away
And I wonder where she will stay
My little runaway
Run-run-run-run runaway

Del Shannon

As I walk along, I wonder
What went wrong with our love
A love that was so strong

And as I still walk on, I think of
The things we've done together
While our hearts were young

I'ma walkin' in the rain
Tears are fallin' and I feel the pain
Wishin' you were here by me
To end this misery

Woah runaway horses
Woah take us through the night
You and I on runaway horses
Oooh, ooh, baby hold on tight
Ooooh, oooh, baby hold on tight

Out on this road
Everything changes
Though nothing ever stays the same
Faith comes and goes
Dreams are foresaken

[mushroom25]

There's a message floatin' in the air.
Crazy horses ridin' everywhere.
It's a warning, it's in every tongue.
Gotta stop them crazy horses on the run.

What a show, there they go smokin' up the sky, yeah.
Crazy horses all got riders, and they're you and I.
Crazy horses..... Crazy Horses

Never stop and they never die.
They just keep on puffin' how they multiply.
Crazy horses, will they never halt?
If they keep on movin' then it's all our fault.

What a show, there they go smokin' up the sky, yeah.
Crazy horses all got riders, and they're you and I.
Crazy horses..... Crazy Horses

The Osmonds

[Arksided]

Between men, between horses there is mistrust and fear
And it's only got deeper with the passing of years
We know this from paintings we know this from books
Some men had real magic while others just took
There were gypsies and showmen, and charlatan shamans
There were men who could softly whisper the devils away
John Solomon Rary tamed a horse of the Queen
Laid it down on the ground
Then he laid down beside it and put his head on it's hooves
You can imagine the scene

For secrets uttered softly into pricked and troubled ears
These men were known as whisperers
These men were known as whisperers

I was born in the wagon of a travelin' show
My mama used to dance for the money they'd throw
Papa would do whatever he could
Preach a little gospel, sell a couple bottles of Doctor Good

Gypsies, tramps, and thieves
We'd hear it from the people of the town
They'd call us gypsies, tramps, and thieves
But every night all the men would come around
And lay their money down

Picked up a boy just south of Mobile
Gave him a ride, filled him with a hot meal
I was sixteen, he was twenty-one
Rode with us to Memphis
And papa woulda shot him if he knew what he'd done

Gypsies, tramps, and thieves
We'd hear it from the people of the town
They'd call us gypsies, tramps, and thieves
But every night all the men would come around
And lay their money down.....
