MOWTOWN MEDLEY
(This song is from the 1996 MTV Europe Music Awards.)

RONAN: Calling out around the world,
are you ready, for a brand-new beat, yeah
The summer's here and the time is right
we're dancing in the street
We're dancing in Chicago (dancing in the street)
We're down in New Orleans (dancing in the street)
In New York City (dancing in the street)
MIKEY: All we need is music, sweet music
There'll be music everywhere
There'll be dancin', swayin', the records playin'
We're dancing in the street ...

PETER ANDRE: Ooh yeah,
it doesn't matter of what you wear
just as long as you are there
So come on, every guy, grab a girl
everywhere, around the WORLD!

ALL: We'll be dancing (dancing in the street)
RO: yeah, dancing in the street (dancing in the street)
Come on!
They'll be dancing (dancing in the street)
We're dancing in the street (dancing in the street) ...

PETE: Like a fool I went and stayed too long
Now I'm back and not a thing is up,
oooh, baby, here I am!
Signed, sealed delivered, I'm yours!
In that time I went and said good-bye
Now I'm back and not ashamed to cry
oooh, baby, here I am!
Signed, sealed, delivered, I'm yours!
ALL: Yeah, here I am baby, signed sealed delivered, I'm yours!
Signed, sealed, delivered ...

STEVE: I never can say good-bye
No no no no no
I never can, say good-bye
And every time I think of adding up
I start heading for the door
There's a very strange vibration that paces for me right to the door
PETE: It says "turn around you fool
you know you love her more and more"
Tell me why (tell me why)
Is it so? (Is it so?)
STEVIE: Don't wanna to let you go
I never can say good-bye, girl
PETE: ooh, ooh, ooh, oh baby
ALL: Don't wanna let you
STEVIE: I never can say good-bye
no no no, no no no, no no no
Oh, oh oh,
I never can say good-bye girl
PETE: Ooh, ooh, ooh, oh baby
ALL: Don't want to let you
STEVIE & PETE: I never can say good-bye
ALL: no no no, no no no, no no no!

RONAN: Let's all celebration!
ALL: Celebrate good times, come on!
RO: Let's celebrate..
There's a party going on right here
a celebration, to last throughtout the years
STEVIE: So pay your good times, and you're left out too
MIKEY: We're going to celebrate, gonna party with you

ALL: Celebration!
RO: We're going to celebrate, and have a good time, yeah

MELTING POT (ASIAN VERSION)

Take a pinch of one man
Wrap him up in suntan
Add a touch of blue blood
And a little bitty bit of
whatever you choose

Curly black and kinky
Mix it with love and let's see
If you lump it altogether
Well you've got a recipe
for a get along scene...
Oh what a beautiful dream
If it could only come true
You know you know...

What we need is a great big melting pot
Big enough to take the world
and all it's got
Keep it stiring for a hundred years or more
Turn out coffee colored people
by the score
Yeah...no

Mick and Lady Faithful
And everyone who's graceful
You know the living could be tasteful
And we should all get together
in a mixing machine
Yeah yeah yeah

The poorest and the wealthy
Weakest and the healthy
If you lump it all together
Well you gotta recipe
for a get along scene
I'd better call up the Queen
It's only fair that she know
you know you know...

CHORUS to fade

MELTING POT (ORIGINAL VERSION)

Take a pinch of white man
Wrap him up in black skin
Add a touch of blue blood
And a little bitty-bit of red indian boy..

Curly, black and kinky
Oriental sexy
If you lump it all together
Well, you've got a recipe for a get-along scene
Oh what a beautiful dream
If it could only come true
You know, you know..

What we need is a great big melting pot
Big enough to take the world and all it's got
Keep it stiring for a hundred years or more
Turning out coffee-colored people by the score

Rappers in the fires
Bishops and the gurus
We had the Beatles and the Sun-Gods
a long time ago (it's true)
But then it really didn't matter
What religion you choose
No no no

Mick and Lady Faithful
and everyone who's graceful
You know the living could be tasteful
Why don't we all get together in a lovin' machine
I'd better call up the Queen
It's only fair that she know
You know, you know..

MUST HAVE BEEN HIGH

(And I must have been high
And I must have been high)

I thought of every reason
Excuses I could give
But all it took was one to break your heart
(And I must have been high)
I thought it would be easy
Assumed you would forgive
But now I gotta beg you girl
Can't stand to be apart

And I must've been high
Girl to let you by
No good reason why
There's no you and I
And I must've been low
Girl to let you go
How was I to know
I would miss you so
(Girl I'd miss you so)

I wanted to move on girl
No time to settle down
Didn't wanna give my love to only you
But since you have been gone girl
I took a look around
And if I've gotta beg you girl
That's what I'm gonna do

CHORUS

Oh girl
I'll give you everything I gotta give
Oh girl
And I will make it all up I swear to you
Oh girl
All I'm askin' you please is to forgive me girl
That's what you gotta do

And I must have been...
(So high...
So high...)
And I must have been high
(oooh oh yeah now tell me baby)
(oooh)

And I must've been high
Girl to let you by
No good reason why
There's no you and I
(And I must have been high now baby)
And I must've been low
Girl to let you go
How was I to know
I would miss you so
(to fade)

MYSTICAL EXPERIENCE

Looking for you, lost in my emptiness
When the night makes me weary, cold and lonely
Looking for ecstasy to make me live again
A supernatural feeling when you hold me
Every time you're here beside me
There is thunder, there is lightning
I feel the earth move and it's a different story
All the power, the heaven and the glory

It's almost like a mystical experience
To feel I'm born again when you come near me
To reach the stars above me the minute that you love me
Oh, it's like a mystical experience
Almost like a mystical experience
To rise with every step as you come near me
And when I'm closer to you, your kisses halleluyah
Take me to a mystical experience

Won't you please hurry back now that I need you so
To drive away all my sorrow and to guide me
Bring the sound of your happiness into my loneliness
To exorcise all the demons that live inside of me
Life without you's like a stranger
Full of shadows, full of danger
And when you're with me the world is full of passion
And when you touch me a magical reaction
