Not That Girl
For Good
Morning Glow
Marking Time (if you can find a recording, cut from PIPPIN, maybe on BANNED IN BOSTON series of CD's)
Good Time Ladies Rag (if you can find the lyrics recorded, it's the dance music for the Manson Trio, but the words were cut from PIPPIN)
some of the 2000 tour versions of GODSPELL songs, the arrangements are great and more contemporary

No One Mourns the Wicked

I'm not that girl
I forgot about GLORY...love that song. Hell, stay all night and play them ALL!
How about "Out There" and "God Help the Outcasts"? I know he didn't write the music for Hunchback, but I think it's his best lyrical effort.
I agree if you're going outside the three titles, some of Schwartz's best lyric writing is when someone else sets his form and he has to "fit" to it.....(another composer).
