Spotlight

(eric carmen)
Get my guitar
Get the car Im gonna take a little strip out of town
Gotta go do a show
Rock and roll until Im upside down
(I see the light) I see the light
Hear the crowd
Clappin loud, they want the show to start
Oh, and now the stage is dark
Mmm, I can feel my heart
Cant you feel your heart
Spotlight, lighting the stage
I gotta go a little crazy tonight
Spotlight, take me away
Im gonna rock till I feel alright
Here it comes
Feel the drums pound the rhythm of a jungle beat
And all around
Hear the sounds that go up and down the city street
(play that guitar) play that guitar
Play it hard
Open up and let it move your soul
Oh, Im goin out of control
Im goin out of control
Cant you feel it grow
Spotlight, lighting the stage
I gotta go a little crazy tonight
Spotlight, take me away
Im gonna rock till I feel alright
Spotlight, give me the heat
Im gonna burn like a star in the sky
Spotlight, Im gonna explode now
Im ready to go, Im ready to go
Alright
Spotlight, lighting the stage
I gotta go a little crazy tonight
Spotlight, take me away
Im gonna rock till I feel alright
Spotlight, give me the heat
I wanna burn like a star in the sky
Spotlight, I wanna explode now (yeah)
Im ready to go, Im ready to go
Alright, alright
Alright, alright
(give it to me)
Spotlight
Feel the drums pound the rhythm of a jungle beat
Spotlight
Cant you feel it, feel it, feel it, feel it

Spotlight Kid

You dont know whats happening, you want to go home
But theres nowhere to hide
You walk out on stage, your first time alone
The crowds going wild
And you feel so alive
You could stand up and take this all night
They love you but youre in love with the spotlight
Youre the spotlight kid
Jokers and women they hang round your door
Theyre all part of the scene
Just like a junkie youve got to have more
Its a pleasure machine
And you fly every night
But the dressing room mirror dont lie
They love you but youre in love with the spotlight
Youre the spotlight kid
Your audience died, faded away
Leaving you on the stage
Its been so many years since that first matinee
It seems like an age
Encore one more time
For the ghosts of the past in your mind
They love you but youre in love with the spotlight
Youre the spotlight kid
Youre living in a dream
Youre the spotlight kid
Youre in love with the spotlight

Spotlight
In the spotlight life is so peachy yeah, yeah, yeah
Wouldnt you like to retire with a million?
A million beating hearts
Behind brick and cold steel piping
Fighting for the top
Fighting for the room to breathe
Bench parks sleepers lie
Cold blanket bed less babies
Here this must stop
I cannot stay
Damn you, big city, black city
Rising up around me, steal my soul away
Big city, black city
Rise and take me over, steal my soul away
But all out in this world
The night it crawls it falls much harder than I recall
Out in this world
A siren calls from every corner
In the spotlight life is so peachy, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
All of us in the spotlight for a reason, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Caught for stealing somebodys riches, no, no, no, no
Wouldnt you like to retire with a million bucks?
Yeah
Came here from a small town
I see my dreams here in the big city
Sour disappointment
I cannot stay
Damn you, big city, black city
Rising up around me, steal my soul away
Big city, black city
Rise and take me over, steal my soul away
But all out in this world
The night it crawls it falls much harder than I recall
Out in this world
A siren calls from every corner
In the spotlight life is so peachy, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
All of us in the spotlight for a reason, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Caught for stealing somebodys riches, no, no, no, no
Wouldnt you like to retire with a million bucks?
Yeah
Yeah....
Yeah....
Yeah....
Yeah....

Our Time Has Come

Our time has come, we're gonna
Walk in the sun,oh
I've packed my hopes,
We're ready to roll,
We're on our way
With a little faith we can
Step from the shadows and
Tell everyone
Turn the spotlight on
Now our time has come
Our time has come, we're heading
Strait for the sun, oh
With heart and soul,
Watch us go,
We're on our way
With a little love we know
Nothing can stop us, so
Tell everyone
Turn the spotlight on
Now our time has come
Are you ready to wish upon a star?
Well i'll be ready to follow my own heart
Are you ready to be set free?
Well i'll be ready to reach out for that dream
Just over the horizon

A Lure For The Spotlight

A lure for the spotlight
lies in everyone somewhere.
At some point in our lives,
everyone wants the centre stage
and have the spotlight on them.
Some just dream about it
to pass the time away,
other have a natural gift
and in the spotlight stay.
When the spotlight shines on you
scrutinizing everything you do,
you want it to go away.
You want your life
to go back to the way it was.
However, when the spotlight
has been on you
it will never leave you alone.
It will be with you
for the rest of your days.

15 May 2008

Standing Or Dancing Under Spotlight

Why aren't you dancing under the spotlight?
Why not dazzle the audience,
With that side of your talents?

'I am sitting here amazed,
How that light can beam centerstage...
And all I want to do is to observe it! '

Why?

'It just occurred to me...
I've never sought spotlight.
And there it is as if teasing.'

Aren't you tempted to bask in it?

'Not at all.
Immediately I would get bored with it.'

Why?

'People would expect me to want to be,
Under it all the time.
Waiting for me to entertain them somehow.
And nothing bores me more than routine.

I am more interested to know...
How someone who controls that spotlight,
Maintains such patience...
Following someone with such ego,
Who seems to want that light on them all the time!
I bet that person has an interesting conversation.'

I never thought about that!

'Me either.
Not until I began to smell that peach cobbler.
Can you smell it? '

Yeah!
Yeah I can!

'When was the last time saw anyone,
Standing under spotlight eating?
Anything? '

Performers aren't allowed to eat onstage.

'On stage?
Performers aren't expected to eat, period.

Stage Fright

Now deep in the heart of a lonely kid
Who suffered so much for what he did,
They gave this ploughboy his fortune and fame,
Since that day he aint been the same.
See the man with the stage fright
Just standin up there to give it all his might.
And he got caught in the spotlight,
But when we get to the end
He wants to start all over again.
Ive got fire water right on my breath
And the doctor warned me I might catch a death.
Said, you can make it in your disguise,
Just never show the fear thats in your eyes.
See the man with the stage fright,
Just standin up there to give it all his might.
He got caught in the spotlight,
But when we get to the end
He wants to start all over again.
Now if he says that hes afraid,
Take him at his word.
And for the price that the poor boy has paid,
He gets to sing just like a bird, oh, ooh ooh ooh.
Your brow is sweatin and your mouth gets dry,
Fancy people go driftin by.
The moment of truth is right at hand,
Just one more nightmare you can stand.
See the man with the stage fright
Just standin up there to give it all his might.
And he got caught in the spotlight,
But when we get to the end
He wants to start all over again, hmm hmm,
You wanna try it once again, hmm hmm,
Please dont make him stop, hmm hmm,
Let him take it from the top, hmm hmm,
Let him start all over again.

Made To Lie

It's late again
Across the bar her night just began
Her search will end
She spots her tonight friend, but then
She's been made to lie
She's out of the airwaves and into the spotlight
She can't make it right
There's got to be some way to bring back her first sight
She woke up alone
While he slept she took off for home
Left a note by the phone
No number or name to be shown, but then
She's been made to lie
She's out of the airwaves and into the spotlight
She can't make it right
There's got to be some way to bring back her first sight
Day to night
Never ending fight
Trapped forever alone
She's been made to lie
She's out of the airwaves and into the spotlight
She can't make it right
There's got to be some way to bring back her first sight

It's so good, It's so good, when we rock in the spotlight tonight
It's so good, It's so good, It's a magical wonderful midnight
It's so good, It's so good, when we rock in the spotlight tonight
So come on and get up cause the feeling is here and it's big time
It's so good, It's so good, when we rock in the spotlight tonight
Tonight we party like the last day of 1999
Tonight we party like the last day of 1999
The crowd is up we are here you're with the crowd
This happy bunch is your friends you hear them shout
We gonna drive them eternally insane with our gags
The world around us the war the rain
Don't mean much to me, don't mean much to us
We're here to party let's dance the night away
Hey come alive baby join this magic ride
And get together and play let's make abau
You'lle see it's easy this night was ment for all
Let's shout a rocket and count the stars
We're the man from mars, we're the man from mars
hey keep her in and the countdown starts

Its Not The Spotlight

(gerry goffin, barry goldberg, 1973/1976)
If I ever feel the light again shining down on me,
I dont have to tell you what a welcome it will be.
I felt the light before but I let it slip away,
But I still keep on believing that itll come back some day.
Its not the spotlight, its not the camra light,
Its not the street lights of some old street of dreams.
It aint the moonlight, not even the sunlight,
But Ive seen it shining in your eyes and you know what I mean.
Some times I try to tell myself the light was never real,
Just a fantasy that used to be, the way I used to feel.
But you and I know better, even though its been so long,
If your memory really serves you well, youll never tell me no wrong.
Its not the spotlight, its not the camra light,
Its not the streetlights of some old street of dreams.
It aint the moonlight, not even the sunlight,
But Ive seen it shining in your eyes you know what I mean.
So if I ever feel the light again shining down on me,
I dont have to tell you what a welcome it would be.
I felt the light before but I let it slip away,
But I still keep on believing that itll come back some day.
Its not the spotlight, its not the camra light,
Its not the streetlights of some old street of dreams.
It aint the moonlight, not even the sunlight,
But Ive seen it shining in your eyes and you know what I mean.

Dancing Girls

(coverdale)
I dont need a doctor, I dont need a priest,
I dont need no superstitious cures for my release
Im flesh an blood, skin an bone
A little petticoat company cant get me stoned
So just gimme the night,
Skin it back to the bone,
Turn on the spotlight
Cmon, bring on the dancing girls,
Bring on the dancing girls,
Bring on the dancing girls
You can dance, dance,
Dance for me,
Dance for your daddy all night...
I got a one track notion on a feminine squeeze,
A sackfull of love an a mindful of fantasies
A midnight rider on a stallion steam,
I got an old mans weakness hanging on a young mans dream
So just gimme the night,
Skin it back to the bone,
Turn on the spotlight
Cmon, bring on the dancing girls,
Bring on the dancing girls,
Bring on the dancing girls
You can dance, dance,
Dance for me,
Dance for your daddy all night...
So just gimme the night,
Skin it back to the bone,
Turn on the spotlight
Cmon, bring on the dancing girls,
Bring on the dancing girls...

To Speak Or Not To Speak?

social contexts
public blunders
entrapment potentials

contrast expectations
when I've said too much!
with I haven't said enough!

context carefully consider this?
explore image fixation artists
spaz set in spotlight comments...

love primary paradoxes
mystery more is less
pulling potent stories

picture portrait contrast
sitting lost in shadow corners
paparazzi media out of sight

genuine personality private
versus intense public spotlight
interior exterior dialogues...

speaker is actually famous
trendy celebrity performer face
caught pants down or on red carpet

paparazzi blitz frames in spotlight
is literal versus unknown in public
metaphor for unknown unseen out about

paparazzi nose tease pout delivers
six degrees of celebrity connections
paparazzi pride dissects best tidbits...

Spotlight

I want to be seen in the spotlight and,
You want to be seen in the spotlight as well;
So it is now like a competition to us all! !
But i will let my sweet love lead the way.

Spotlight II

Spotlight, hot, hit, hits, sit, it, is, pit, pits, tight, plight, sight, log, logs;
Seeing things in black and white! !
However, i can see what you cannot see in this bush.

Spotlight, spot, pot, top, sot, pots, to, so, light, spit, go, slight, hog, got, shot!
Teaching people,
Helping people,
But, staying with you was a great joy! !
And like the water of love in the land of many rivers,
But, i can see something in this bush that you cannot see.

Always The Winner

Always the winner, baby.
Youre always the center, baby.
But dont you ever get lonely at night
When the clouds have gone away?
Its always,
Youre showing her the lady,
Always the lady.
Youre full of
Yourself, you know,
Gone crazy.
There was a time when you cared for their hearts,
And the need to show them love was tearing you apart.
But you changed, you know,
Become the star of the show.
Now youve got nothing to give;
Where is the truth you once lived?
Youre just lonely.
Dont you feel lonely?
Turn out the spotlight, Im tired. turn out the spotlight.
My mind will die, lord, Im crying.
Oh, Im to turn my gaze back, lord, to you,
Youre the only one who knows me.
Just mold me back to you.

The Show Must Go On

(carly simon)
Some folks like to stay at home
Some folks like to be alone
So when they finally come out of their nest
Ive got to turn it on
Ive got to be my best
The street may be slick with ice
And im sick with butterflies
And some other girl may be the talk of the town
I could lose my voice
Or i could split my gown
But when im in the spotlight
Its got to be a hot night
Even when im feeling down
The show must go on
The show must go on
The show must go on
The show must go on
Ive won some and i have lost
But what i enjoy the most
Is never knowing how the evening will end
Will i be the joke or the comedienne
And when im in the spotlight
Its got to be a hot night
Even when im shivering cold
The show must go on
The show must go on
The show must go on
The show must go on
Repeat to end.
Background answers:
Even in a hurricane
Your contact lens goes down the drain
When your agent goes insane
When you can hardly stay awake
Youd rather stay at home and bake
When youve got a tummy-ache
To an audience of one
And you think hes got a gun
When laughing isnt any fun
You want to watch the end of cheers?

A Lover's Clown

Tiny peices of my heart
Like confetti everywhere
Hidden sorrows in the dark
You can feel it in the air
The spotlight finds me
I can no longer hide my frown
Say hello to a lover's clown
Distorted mirror images
Turn the good to bad
If that's not the way it is
Why am I so sad?
Strangers laughter is the only sound
Silence from a lover's clown
Girl that's me everybody's laughing at
With a big red nose and the tears and the silly act
Comedy, tragedy, reality
It all plays the same
If you don't want me
Tumbling from the high wire
Without a net
You're saying I'll stop falling for you
But I haven't yet
The spotlight dims and the bigtop's coming down
Curtains o'er the lover's clown
Girl, that's me everybodies laughing at
With a big red nose and the tears and the silly act
Comedy, tragedy, reality
It all plays the same
If you don't want me
Tiny peices of my heart
Scattered everywhere
Like a fool I played my part
But you were never really there
A new day dawns and the bigtop's leaving town
You can say goodbye to a lover's clown
Say goodbye

Man In The Mirror

This is the story of a star
He gave up reality for fame
He's the man in the mirror
Money was his best friend
Lludadi dadida
Lights are off, the curtains closed
No one is here now
Ludadi dadida
To turn back the hands of time
Hes the man, in the dark
Trying to see the light again
Hes the man, in the dark
To fall is hard to understand
He's the man in the mirror
He was a hero, he was a superstar
He's the man in the mirror
Searching the spotlight, Searching a fame bizarre
He's the man in the mirror
Ludadi dadida
Hes living inside a nasty world
No one was honest
Ludadi dadida
Searching for the fame he lost
He's the man in the mirror
He was a hero, he was a superstar
He's the man in the mirror
Searching the spotlight, Searching the fame bizarre
The curtain is closed
The camera is off
The make up is washed away
Hes looking in the mirror
Trying to find his inner self
The real world is waiting
He's so afraid to be alone
Time is getting over
Ludadi dadida
The past is running through his hands
No one is waiting
Ludadi dadida
The show is over he's alone
