h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

It's not the pale moon that excites me
That thrills and delights me, oh no
It's just the nearness of you


[Hoagy Carmichael]

Moonlight and roses
Bring wonderful memories of you
My heart reposes
In beautiful thoughts so true

Blue moon,
you saw me standing alone
without a dream in my heart
without a love of my own.

[Rogers & Hart/ Connie Boswell 1934]

Like a desert blooms with new fallen rains,
Like joy you bring me makes me live just the same,
Like a northern star that shines through the night,
The peace you offer feels so right, I can't live...
Without your love, without your love, if you were to leave me now,
I would be lost somehow, without your love...

Don't go wasting your emotion
Lay all your love on me


[Abba]

Lay, lady, lay, lay across my big brass bed
Lay, lady, lay, lay across my big brass bed
Whatever colors you have in your mind
I'll show them to you and you'll see them shine

Bob Dylan

I'm only happy when it rains
Pour some misery down on me
I'm only happy when it rains
Pour some misery down on me
I'm only happy when it rains
Pour some misery down on me
I'm only happy when it rains
Pour some misery down on me
I'm only happy when it rains
Pour some misery down on me

You're not a happy bunny then?

When you're weary, feeling small,
When tears are in your eyes, I will dry them all;
I'm on your side, when times get rough
And friends just can't be found,
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.
When you're down and out,
When you're on the street,my lord,
When evening falls so hard
I will comfort you.
I'll take your part when darkness comes,
And pains is all around,
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.

Hope that helps

I should apologise for the syntax in the latter part of the song which should of course read:-

When evening falls so hard
I will comfort you,
I'll take your part.
When darkness comes
And pain is all around,
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.

I am H.A.P.P.Y
I am H.A.P.P.Y
I know I am
I'm sure I am
I'm H.A.P.P.Y

Unknown (to me at least)

If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands
If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands
If you're happy and you know it, you surely want to show it
If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands

[children's song, origin equally obscure, sung to the tune
of 'She'll Be Comin' Round the Mountain']

Smiley Faces

Gnarls Barkley

..... want to be you whenever I see you smiling
Because its easily one of the hardest things to do
Your worries and fears become your friends
And they end up smiling at you

Put on a smiley face

Meet me in the crowd
People, people
Throw your love around
Love me, love me
Take it into town
Happy, happy
Put it in the ground
Where the flowers grow
Gold and silver shine
Shiny happy people holding hands
Shiny happy people holding hands
Shiny happy people laughing

REM ( I believe they hate this song - I love it!)

My joy would be complete, dear,
If you were only here,
But still I keep your hand
As a precious souvenir.

[from, Tom Lehrer - I Hold You Hand In Mine]

*Tom Lehrer's, 'I Hold Your Hand In Mine'

I got it from Agnes,
She got it from Jim.
We all agree it must have been
Louise who gave it to him.

She got it from Harry,
Who got it from Marie,
And everybody knows that Marie
Got it from me.

[I Got It From Agnes: Tom Lehrer]

I'm done
I'm not a whore
You've taken everything and
Oh, I can not give anymore
...give anymore

[Korn]

Well I went down to my best girl's house
The hour was just about nine
I wasn't dressed up like Henry Ford
But I was feeling just as fine
I caught her sitting on another man's knee
And I didn't like that sign
Well, I told them what I thought about it, boys
And I got mine
I got mine, I got mine
I grabbed my hat and through the window
I went flying
I ran as fast as I could run
But I didn't get there in time
Because the rascal grabbed a shotgun, Lord
And I got mine

No fellow could ignore
The little girl next door,
She sure looked sweet in her first evening gown.
Now there's a charge for what she used to give for free
In my home town.


[Tom Lehrer: My Home Town]
