Dance This Mess Around

Written by Keith Strickland, Kate Pierson, Cindy Wilson, Rick Wilson and Fred Schneider

Performed by The B-52s

Remember when you held my hand
Say, remember when you were my man
Walk, talk in the name of love
Before you break my heart
Think it over
Roll it over in your mind

Why don't you dance with me?
I'm not no Limburger
Why don't you dance with me?
I'm not no Limburger

Oh say, why don't you dance with me?
I'm not no Limburger
Just a limber girl
Just a limber girl
Just a limber girl
Just a limber girl

Channel Z

Written by Kate Pierson, Fred Schneider, and Keith Strickland

Performed by The B-52s

I am livin' on Channel Z
Getting nothing but static, getting nothing but static
Static in my attic from Channel Z
Getting nothing but static, getting nothing but static.
Static filling my attic from Channel Z

I don't know-I feel like something's happening
Something good is happening!
I feel love has got to come on, and I want it
Something big and lovely

I want the world to change for me! Gotta get away
Away from Z - Living on the edge of Z
Space junk - laser bombs - ozone holes
Better put up my umbrella!
Giant stacks blowin' smoke
Politicrits pushin' dope

All I know - we've got to change what's happening
Something good could happen
I feel light has got to come through - and I need it
Something big and lovely

I want the world to change for me - gotta get away - away from Z
Living on the edge of Z
Waste dumps - toxic fog - irradiate - and keep it fresh forever
Good old boys - tellin' lies
'Bout time - I got wise

Getting nothing but static
Static in my attic from Channel Z

Gotta tune in - pico waves. Gotta tune out - PCB's
Gotta tune in - market crash. Gotta tune out - polar shift
Gotta tune in - narrow minds. Gotta tune out - space junk
Gotta tune in - bombs. Gotta turn out - atomic lasers falling from the sky

Where's my umbrella?
Gonna shoot that static down the drain
Gonna put that static out of my brain
Gonna put up my antennae. FREE!

Hamburger ads! - Pop up in my head
On the edge of Aquarius - I'm living on the edge
Secret wars! - Take my money away!

I know I feel a change is happening - Something good will happen
I feel love is coming on strong, and I want it
We can make it happen

I want the world to change for me - gotta get away - away from Z
Living on the edge of - ZZZZZZZZ

Channel Z's all static all day forever
time to take this information and shove it in a shredder

Market crash, polar shift
space junk, narrow minds,
bombs

Arthur's Theme (Best That You Can Do)

Written by Christopher Cross, Burt Bacharach, Peter Allen and Carole Bayer Sager

Performed by Christopher Cross

Once in your life you find her
Someone that turns your heart around
And next thing you know you're closing down the town
Wake up and it's still with you
Even though you left her way 'cross town
Wondering to yourself, "Hey, what've I found?"

When you get caught between the moon and New York City
I know it's crazy, but it's true
If you get caught between the moon and New York City
The best that you can do
The best that you can do
Is fall in love

Arthur, he does as he pleases
All of his life, his master's toys
Deep in his heart, he's just, he's just a boy
Living his life one day at a time
And showing himself a pretty good time
Laughing about the way they want him to be

When you get caught between the moon and New York City
I know it's crazy, but it's true
If you get caught between the moon and New York City
The best that you can do (The best that you can do)
The best that you can do
Is fall in love

When you get caught between the moon and New York City
I know it's crazy, but it's true
If you get caught between the moon and New York City
The best that you can do (The best that you can do)
The best that you can do
Is fall in love

When you get caught between the moon and New York City
I know it's crazy, but it's true
If you get caught between the moon and New York City
The best that you can do (The best that you can do)
The best that you can do
Is fall in love

When you get caught between the moon and New York City
I know it's crazy, but it's true

I Can't Make You Love Me

Written by Allen Shamblin & Michael Reid

Performed by Bonnie Raitt

Turn down the lights, turn down the bed
Turn down these voices inside my head
Lay down with me, tell me no lies
Just hold me close, don't patronize - don't patronize me

Cause I can't make you love me if you don't
You can't make your heart feel something it won't
Here in the dark, in these final hours
I will lay down my heart and I'll feel the power
But you won't, no you won't
'Cause I can't make you love me, if you don't

I'll close my eyes, then I won't see
The love you don't feel when you're holding me
Morning will come and I'll do what's right
Just give me till then to give up this fight
And I will give up this fight

Cause I can't make you love me if you don't
You can't make your heart feel something it won't
Here in the dark, in these lonely hours
I will lay down my heart and I'll feel the power
But you won't, no you won't
'Cause I can't make you love me, if you don't

Life In A Northern Town

Written by Gilbert Alexander Gabriel and Nick Laird-Clowes

Performed by Dream Academy

A Salvation Army band played
And the children drank lemonade
And the morning lasted all day
All day

And through an open window came
Like Sinatra in a younger day
Pushing the town away
Ah

Ah-hey-ma-ma-ma
Dee-doo-din-nie-ya-ya
Ah-hey-ma-ma-ma
Hey-y-yah
Life in a northern town
Ah-hey-ma-ma-ma-ma

They sat on the stoney ground
And he took a cigarette out
And everyone else came down
To listen

He said, "In winter 1963
It felt like the world would freeze
With John F. Kennedy
And The Beatles"
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Ah-hey-ma-ma-ma
Dee-doo-din-nie-ya-ya
Ah-hey-ma-ma-ma
Hey-y-yah
Life in a northern town

Hey-ma-ma-ma-ma
Ah-hey-ma-ma-ma
Dee-doo-din-nie-ya-ya
Ah-hey-ma-ma-ma
Hey-y-yah
All the work shut down

The evening turned to rain (The evening turned to rain)
Watched the water roll down the drain
As we followed him down
To the station

And though he never would wave goodbye
You could see it written in his eyes
As the train rolled out of sight
Bye-bye

Ah-hey-ma-ma-ma
Dee-doo-din-nie-ya-ya
Ah-hey-ma-ma-ma
Hey-y-yah
Life in a northern town

Ah-hey-ma-ma-ma (Life in a northern town)
Ah-hey-ma-ma-ma
Dee-doo-din-nie-ya-ya
Ah-hey-ma-ma-ma (All the work shut down)
Hey-y-yah
Life in a northern town

Ah-hey-ma-ma-ma (Where ya goin' now?)
Ah-hey-ma-ma-ma
Dee-doo-din-nie-ya-ya
Ah-hey-ma-ma-ma
Hey-y-yah
Ah-hey-ma-ma-ma-ma
Take it easy on yourself

Ah-hey-ma-ma-ma
Dee-doo-din-nie-ya-ya
Ah-hey-ma-ma-ma
Hey-y-yah

Ah-hey-ma-ma-ma (Take it easy on yourself)
Ah-hey-ma-ma-ma
Dee-doo-din-nie-ya-ya
Ah-hey-ma-ma-ma
Hey-y-yah

Rhiannon

Written by Stephanie Nicks

Performed by Fleetwood Mac

Rhiannon rings like a bell through the night
And wouldn't you love to love her?
Takes to the sky like a bird in flight
And who will be her lover?
All your life you've never seen
Woman taken by the wind
Would you stay if she promised you heaven?
Will you ever win?
She is like a cat in the dark
And then she is to darkness
She rules her life like a fine skylark
And when the sky is starless
All your life you've never seen
Woman taken by the wind
Would you stay if she promised you heaven?
Will you ever win?
Will you ever win?
(Rhiannon)
(Rhiannon)
(Rhiannon)
(Rhiannon)
She rings like a bell through the night
And wouldn't you love to love her?
She rules her life like a bird in flight
And who will be her lover?
All your life you've never seen
Woman taken by the wind
Would you stay if she promised you heaven?
Will you ever win?
Will you ever win?
(Rhiannon)
(Rhiannon)
(Rhiannon)
Taken by taken by the sky
(ah-ah)
Taken by taken by the sky
(ah-ah)
Taken by taken by the sky
(ah-ah)
Dreams unwind
Love's a state of mind
Dreams unwind
Love's a state of mind

All I Need Is A Miracle

Written by Michael Rutherford and Christopher Neil

Performed by Mike + the Mechanics

I said go if you wanna go
Stay if you wanna stay
I didn't care if you hung around me
I didn't care if you went away

And I know you were never right
I'll admit I was never wrong
I could never make up my mind
I made it up as I went along

And though I treated you like a child
I'm gonna miss you for the rest of my life
Ah, ah, ah, ah

All I need is a miracle, all I need is you
All I need is a miracle, all I need is you
All I need is a miracle, all I need is you

I never had any time
And I never had any call
But I went out of my way just to hurt you
The one I shouldn't hurt at all

I thought I was being cool
Yeah, I thought I was being strong
But it's always the same old story
You never know what you got 'til it's gone

If I ever catch up with you
I'm gonna love you for the rest of your life
Ha, ah, ah, ah

All I need is a miracle, all I need is you (all I need is a miracle)
All I need is a miracle, all I need is you (all I need is a miracle)
All I need is a miracle, all I need is you

If I ever catch up with you
I'm gonna love you for the rest of your life
Ha, ah, ah, ah

All I need is a miracle, all I need is you (all I need is a miracle)
All I need is a miracle, all I need is you (all I need is a miracle)
All I need is a miracle, all I need is you (all I need is a miracle)
All I need is a, all I need is a
All I need is a miracle
All I need is a miracle, all I need, yeah

All I need is a miracle, all I need is you
All I need is a miracle, all I need is you
All I need is a miracle, all I need is you
All I need, all I need
All I need is a miracle
All I need is a miracle
All right
(All I need is a miracle)
All I need is a miracle
You will
(All I need is a miracle)
All I need, all I need
All I need is a miracle
All I need, all I need
All I need is a miracle
All I need is a miracle
All I need, yeah
