Melanie still rocks.

She ain't no spring chicken any longer but she puts on a tremendous show and still writes great music. She was always a sort of guilty pleasure for me since her audience base was young girls but this wasn't her doing and times have changed.

There's a chance peace will come in your life please buy one

For sometimes when I am feeling as big as the land
With the velvet hill in the small of my back
And my hands are playing the sand

And my feet are swimming in all of the waters
All of the rivers are givers to the ocean
According to plan, according to man

Well sometimes when I am feeling so grand
And I become the world
And the world becomes a man

And my song becomes a part of the river
I cry out to keep me just the way I am
According to plan

According to man, according to plan
According to man, according to plan

For sometimes when we have reached the end
With the velvet hill in the small of my backs
And our hands are clutching the sand

Will our blood become a part of the river
All of the rivers are givers to the ocean
According to plan, according to man

There's a chance peace will come
In your life please buy one.

Oh sure it's a girly song (as intended) but they all aren't.

Backing vocals: Stevie Nicks

Come on down Miranda
Your window's open wide
Take a chance on a midnight dance
So I can see it in your eyes

Come on down Miranda
No need to fix your hair
Shake the town with the windows down
Fly in the midnight air
Fly in the midnight air

There are dreams that fly in the midnight wind
Souls that cry in the midnight wind
Lovers who try in the midnight wind
You and I in the midnight wind

Come on down Miranda
You know your time has come
You Beauty Queens come on so clean
But you're, you're missing all the fun
Yeah you're missing all the fun

There are dreams that fly in the midnight wind
Souls that cry in the midnight wind
Lovers who try in the midnight wind
You and I in the midnight wind

Midnight wind
Midnight wind

There are dreams that fly in the midnight wind
Souls that cry in the midnight wind
Lovers who try in the midnight wind
I said you and I in the midnight wind

Midnight wind (repeat several times)

C'mon down (repeat several times)

There are dreams that fly in the midnight wind
Souls that cry in the midnight wind
Lovers who try in the midnight wind
You and I in the midnight wind

Midnight wind (repeat several times)

C'mon down (repeat several times)

Oh please babe
