THE MOON by Cat Power
(from the album The Greatest 2006)

The moon is not only beautiful
It is so far away
The moon is not only ice cold
It is here to stay

When I lay me down
Will you still be around
When they put me six feet underground
Will the big bad beautiful you be around

Everyone says they know you
Better than you know who
Everyone says they own you
More than you do

When I lay me down
Will you still be around
When they put me six feet underground
Will the big bad beautiful you be around

'Cause the moon is not only beautiful
It is so far away
The moon is not only ice cold
It is here to stay

Everyone says they know you
Better than you know who
Everyone says they own you
More than you do

Moon Crazy
by Blue Oyster Cult (from the Mirrors album 1978)

Did you catch the fever
Flying toward the moon
Sailing in space to a distant shore
You kind of wonder
What they came here for

We lived days for lovin’
Falling for all we met
A world gone crazy from the lunacy
The tides kept rising and falling like you and me

Moon crazy
Summer of changes
Let the night shine on and on
And on and on
Shine on
Until the feeling is gone
Dreaming about
What could be
Summer’s embraces
Had a hold on me

On the hill they danced till dawn
While the video flickered along
But in your heart was an empty need
You just didn’t know
Where the dream would lead

Moon crazy
Summer of changes
Let the night shine on and on
And on and on
Shine on
Shine on

Moon crazy
Summer of changes
Let the night shine on and on
And on and on
Shine on
Until the feeling is gone
Dreaming about
What could be
Summer’s embraces
Had a hold on me

Moon crazy
Summer of changes
Let the night shine on and on
And on and on
Shine on
Shine on

Moon crazy
Summer of madness
Let the night shine on and on
And on and on
Shine on
Shine on

Moonstone by Cat Stevens

Well, first I have to tell you that I'm not insane
and that once I was a famous archaeologist {named}
{who ran} a recent expedition in a distant land
I just happened to passin' my hand in the sand

and then I stopped, looked, and then I was hooked

I saw a flash, then a sparkle from a moonstone
then the mist started, started to clear
I saw a face, a face in the moonstone
then it started to disappear

well, I walked and walked and never talked
for many days
and without a friend the desert is a lonely place
I was just about to turn around and make way home
when something told me that i had to see it again

Avuray....etc.

MOONGLOW
by Rod Stewart

It must have been Moonglow,
Way up in the blue,
It must have been Moonglow,
That led me straight to you

I still hear you sayin'
Dear one hold me fast,
And I start to prayin'
Oh Lord, please let this last,
We seem to float right through the air,
Heavenly songs seem to come from everywhere,
And now when there's Moonglow,
Way up in the blue,
I always remember,
That Moonglow gave me you
That Moonglow gave me you

We seem to float right through the air,
Heavenly songs seemed to come from everywhere,
And now when there's Moonglow
Way up in the blue,
I always remember,
That Moonglow gave me you,
That Moonglow gave me you,
That Moonglow gave me you

As the Moon Speaks (to the waves of the sea)
by Captain Beyond

Listen:
Jump on a moonbeam and ride
Ride it, glide it, all the way
As the moon speaks
To the waves of the sea
And the ocean relic
Of the time it used to be
Many years have past
Since your vision came to me
And I think of you only
As the moon speaks to the sea!

We Went To The Moon in 1969
by Evan Stevens

We went to the moon in 1969
Um, not 1968, but a year later
We went to the moon in 1969
That's when the astronauts first walked inside a crater

We went to the moon in 1969
Not 1970 but a year sooner
We went to the moon in 1969
That's when thet made a landing that was lunar
We didn't go up to the sun or stars
We didn't go to Mercury or Mars

But we went to the moon in 1969
Not 1968 but the year after
And once they got there the astronauts felt fine
They smiled at each other and there was laughter
We went to the moon in 1969
Not 1970, a year before, uh-huh
The rocket that flew had a really neat design
When it took off it the engines made a roar

We went to the moon in 1969
The trip wasn't all that easy
And when we got there we were surprised to find
That it was solid and it wasn't cheesy
We went up to the M-double-O-N
We went up to the moon sing it again
We went to the moon in 1969
Not 1970 but a year sooner
We went to the moon in 1969
That's when they made a landing that was lunar

Goddess Of The Moon
by Tilt

Standing in a crater in my leaden shoes
I am held here by more than gravity
She's been hit so many times with heavenly abuse
Quite a history of catastrophe
But the footprints on her face are merely made by man
She is shining despite the rough terrain
I think she picks her teeth with the staff of a flag
She plucked from her teeth with playful disdain

Glowing survivor
Gorgeous in orbit
Throwing a spotlight
Over the chasm
Glowing survivor
Gorgeous in orbit
Over the sea ("Heavens" @ end)

Geological samples held up to the light
Teach very little of her life
Astronomers deny what they can divine
By merely gazing up into her eyes
Every lunar cycle she begins anew
Not afraid to show herself in full
The man is a myth
Lovers share the view
All God's howling dogs to her are dutiful

If you come at nightfall
You can see all her magnitude
Her tidal tears have fallen
Reflective of the sun
Beaming her gratitude

Moonstruck by Atrosity

A lonely shining light
takes the viens of night
Each shaft another thought
thought of different ways
ways of dust you see
dusty air you breath
Dark clouds are passing by
clearing up the darkened sky
face in the teeth of the wind
to watch the rising fight
Nightly scene
nocturnal game
moon obsessed
With my lonely beating heart
step by step, so close to you
punding, pounding amid the glade
I raise my arms up to the sky
I'm dressed up
for the splendour in silver-grey
moon-struck
I dance the moonlight dance
Changing garment night by night
appearing in habitual grace
ocean dressed in silver clothes
the ercscent keeps my thoughts
Confidence
devoutness
moon obsessed
The old calaboose memories
fleshing through my mind
from time immemorial
you guide my blood-damned life
I'm dressed up
for thwe splendout in silver-grey
moon-struck
I dance the moonlight dance
With my lonely beating heart
step by step, so close to you
pounding, pounding amid the glade
I raise my arms up to the sky
I'm dressed up
for the splendour in silver-grey
moon-struck

Power Of Moonlite by Tiger Army

Riding along through the night
Things couldn't be farther from the night
Who made this world of misery?
I want no part of it- I think I'm gonna leave (that's when the)
The Power of Moonlight- Shines down on me and seeps into my soul
The Power of Moonlight-It calls to me from ages long ago
The Power of Moonlight- A haunting whisper
That I'll never grow old
Far away nighttime tides are calling to me...
(Reject the daylight/full moon tonite)
All the filth and all the dirt
The madness of this spinning world
Trapped down here, brought down and down and then-
Just like the moon and twilight I will rise again (that's right the)
The Power of Moonlight- Shines down on me and seeps into my soul
The Power of Moonlight-It calls to me from ages long ago
The Power of Moonlight- A haunting whisper
That I'll never grow old
Far away nighttime tides are calling to me...
(The moon's purity/Your power unto me)
And just like the moon...
Just like the moon...
Just like the moon...
I will rise again
Rise again
