Bangkok Oriental setting And the city don't know that the city is getting The creme de la creme of the chess world in a Show with everything but Yul Brynner
Time flies -- doesn't seem a minute Since the Tirolean spa had the chess boys in it All change -- don't you know that when you Play at this level there's no ordinary venue
It's Iceland -- or the Philippines -- or Hastings -- or -- or this place!

Say goodnight, she waits for me to put out the light. Lay there still, She waits to break my will. Yes, if I know the truth, How bout you? (She got it) And in the daylight, A BLACKBIRD makes a fire inside. And when she is done, She sleeps beside the night. Yes, I know the truth, How bout you? (She got it)

In the night of love words tangled in her hair Words soon to disappear A love so sharp it cut like a switchblade to my heart Words tearing me apart She tears again my bleeding heart I want to run she's pulling me apart Fallen angel cries Then I just melt away She's a mystery to me She's a mystery girl She's a mystery girl She's a mystery girl

We can be happy underground Who's got the looks? Who's got the brains? Who's got everything? I've got this pain in my heart, that's all. (Hey you with the long and lonely face) There's got to be something else Let me tell you something else There was a girl that passed me by She gave a smile but I was shy and looked down (Don't look down no no! Go go underground) Now now there's a place to go. It's the morning now, its the evening It's everything. I click my heels and I'm there. --Ben Folds Five, "Underground"

I want a New Girl The kind everybody wants The kind that shout it out And then we laugh it off, I'll be her terrorist And she will be a looter Eye of Fatima painted on her motor scooter She puts on eye shadow A deeper shade, A deeper shade of blue And then she gets in bed with you

They want you to be Jesus They'll go down on one knee But they'll want their money back If you're alive at thirty-three And you're turning tricks With your crucifix You're a star
Of course you're not shy You don't have to deny love Hold me, thrill me, kiss me, kill me

They can’t tell me who to be, ‘Cause I’m not what they see. And the world is still sleepin’, While I keep on dreamin’ for me. And they’ll want to just whispers, And lies that I’ll never believe.
And I want a moment to be real, Wanna touch things I don't feel, Wanna hold on and feel I belong. And how can the world want me to change, They’re the ones that stay the same. I’m the one now, ‘Cause I’m still here.

Night time sharpens, heightens each sensation... Darkness stirs and wakes imagination Silently your senses abandon their defenses...
Slowly, deftly, music shall surround you hear it, feel it, closing in around you... Turn your face away from the garish LIGHT of day Turn your thoughts away from cold unfeeling LIGHT. And listen to the Music of the NIGHT....
Close your eyes and surrender to your darkest dreams, Purge your thoughts of the world you knew before... Close your eyes, let your spirit start to soar...... And you'll live as you never lived before....
Softly, gently night unfurls its splendor, Feel it, grasp it, Tremulous and tender, (something something something da sonething something something.... I've heard this song 134 times and still don't know two lines....) And listen to the Music Of The NIGHT.....
Oh, yeah, It's Music of the Night from Phantom of the Opera

We can walk our road together If our goals are all the same We can run alone and free If we pursue a different aim
Let the truth of love be lighted Let the love of truth shine clear Sensibility, armed with sense and liberty With the heart and mind united in a single perfect sphere.
Rush, Hemispheres
By the way, Annie, do you own any albums by any bands other than U2. I could suggest a few if you need some ideas.

(Koholos, is it "open up your mind, let your fantasies unwind, from the power of the music that i write"?)
Issue in question, a joy triumphant, Difficult to suppress. Simple suggestion, enjoy the moment, Agonize less. Logical premise from the start, Marrying both the mind and heart, Issue in question, Issue in question, No question, It's love!

This song is inspired by a good man And his tune Thinking good of others Sing Amazing Grace to you It doesn't really matter if you're all Jumbled up inside As long as you know love is Endless and the world is live.

jon Boy, I don't think that's by U2. I don't even think they covered it. Where have you heard it?

Hey - you edited that one out from under me
I'm from boring old America - I just have a fascination with world music, and a special penchant for Rai, a French-Algerian hybrid. I also have a lot in Spanish, French, German, some Turkish, Hindi, Swedish. Lately I've been on a Latin kick, which can be construed as cheesy, but I think Spanish is one of the languages best suited for the rhythm of music. Plus I'm trying frantically to learn Spanish for my trip to Mexico in three days!. Listening to music in a language really helps you remember word usage. And as a last resort, I can always fake like I'm fluent by busting out phrases like "Puedo escalar los Andes solo por ir a contar tus lunares" or "Te regalo mi locura y las pocas neuronas que queden ya..."

It's on this soundtrack. Sinead O'Connor does some of the vocals. There's also an instrumental version on one of the "Please" singles (the one with the Junk Day and Bitter Kiss mixes of "Dirty Day"). It says the music's by U2 and the lyrics are by Bono.
Oh, and I used "Big Girls Are Best" the other day. I don't know if it's against the rules to use the same song twice, but I felt I should point out that I beat you to it.

I'm pretty big into world music as well. Lately I've been getting into arabic jazz. There's a really great Tunisian oud player named Anouar Brahem. If you haven't heard of him, it's well worth it. I may even be able to point you to some sample tracks if you'd like. Rabih Abou-Khalil (from Lebanon) is really good also. And if you haven't heard any Hawaiian slack-key guitar, you need to.
As far as the latin music, I've got quite a bit of that. My favourite is Mana. That was actually what I'd added when I noticed it was too late and had to switch to Monty Python.
I'd ask you what kind of Turkish, German and Rai music you have, but I'm afraid if we do too many more non-lyric posts we're going to get in trouble. Perhaps a new thread or an email or something...
Good luck in Mexico. I'm jealous. I was in Galveston two weeks ago today, and the gulf was wonderful.

But I sent Bono a birthday card four days ago, so I'm still the bigger geek.
Back to the game, going off of Speed's since mine is apparently null and void:
I love you 'cause I need to Not because I need you I love you 'cause I understand That God has given me your hand He holds me in a tiny fist And still I need your kiss
