I provided transcriptions of the 25 songs for the singers. As far as I can tell from a Mudcat search, 10 of them don't seem to be available in the DT/Forum database. I might as well post those here for anyone who may be interested. I thought I found lyrics here for this first one but, if so, a Mudcat search doesn't unearth them now. MIRACLES (Jim Woodland) If you sit back a while, rest and smile, and close your eyes When you wake up, everything will be all right Just take a little rest, get it off your chest, and close your eyes When you wake up, everything will be all right But they don't fool me I don't believe in miracles I don't believe that's true One light One fight One little dance, and that's all you do I don't believe in fairy tales I don't believe in lies You don't need to fly You just have to try And that's all you do I'm ready to believe that the dead will rise and the blind will see And the sun will shine from underneath the sea I can easily accept that a man could walk across the sky But when they ask me to believe the rich would let the poor go free I don't believe in miracles And I don't believe that's true One light One fight One little dance, and that's all you do I don't believe in fairy tales And I don't believe in lies You don't need to fly You just have to try And that's all you do I've seen your dreams nailed to a tree and left up there to die And I'm ready to believe that one day they will rise I can feel it in my bones, if you roll away the stones, you can step into the light And the meek will inherit everything here, but not by being meek I fear I don't believe in miracles I don't believe that's true One light One fight One little dance, and that's all you do I don't believe in fairy tales I don't believe in lies You don't need to fly You just have to try And that's all you do Everybody knows that the yellow brick road goes straight up to the sky And the fairy lives on top of the Christmas tree And pigs can talk and fish can walk and dogs can probably fly Ah but when they ask me just to wait for my reward at the pearly gate I don't believe in miracles I don't believe that's true One light One fight One little dance, and that's all you do I don't believe in fairy tales I don't believe in lies You don't need to fly You just have to try And that's all you do That's all you do Source: Transcription from Roy Bailey 'Never Leave a Story Unsung' --Stewie. |
