1)Set them free at the break of dawn-'Til one by one, they were gone-
2)I'll wait in this place-where the sun never shines!-Waiting this place-where the shadows run from themselves!
3)You saw me standing alone.-Without a dream in my heart-Without a love of my own-
4)And in the streets- the children screamed,-The lovers cried,- and the poets dreamed.
5)Home, to a new and a shiny place-Make our bed, and we'll say our grace-
6)Don’t come knockin’ around my door-Don’t wanna see your shadow no more-Coloured lights can hypnotize-Sparkle someone else’s eyes
7)Let music swell the breeze,- and ring from all the trees -sweet freedom's song
8)On the first part of the journey, I was looking at all the life.- There were plants and birds. -and rocks and things, -There was sand and hills and rings.
9)Sky rockets in flight-
10)He misses a step and cuts his hand, -but Showing nothing, he swoops like a song-She cries "Where have all Papa's heroes gone?"
11)A long, long time ago-On graduation day-You handed me your book-I signed this way:
12)I’m going to wichita-Far from this opera for evermore-I’m gonna work the straw-Make the sweat drip out of every pore-
13)Well, I guess I'll never see the light.-I get the blues most every night-
14)Let me tell you how it will be-There's one for you, nineteen for me-
15)Like a train that stops at every station-We all deal with trials and tribulations-Fear hangs the fellow that ties up his years-Entangled in yellow and cries all his tears-

Laura-If I hit the right category of music would it help?-If so, give me am idea of what stuff you listen to that's somewhat popular-(other than celtic).
kgmon-great job!-Yes I do pick songs that I think the people playing will have a chance at.-I usually throw in a few more recent ones, or hard rock in case others join in.
Lynne-looks like kgmom can give you a battle-wonder where ruthiej is?
#9 - Afternoon Delight but I can't remember the artist. Mid 70's?
#6 - American Woman - Guess Who, probably around 1969-70. Reminds me of my first boyfriend (the loser) LOL!
