A Little Respect Vince Clarke, Andy Bell (1988) / Erasure

I tried to discover a little something to make me sweeterOh baby refrain from breaking my heart

I'm so in love with you, I'll be forever blueThat you give me no reason why you're making me work so hardThat you give me no (x3) soulI hear you callingOh baby please, give a little respect to me

And if I should falterWould you open your arms out to me?We can make love, not warAnd live at peace with our hearts.

I'm so in love with you, I'll be forever blue.What religion or reason Would drive a man to forsake his lover?Don't you tell me no (x3) soulI hear you callingOh baby please, give a little respect to me.

I'm so in love with youI'll be forever blueThat you give me no reasonYou know you're making me work so hardThat you give me no (x3) soulI hear you calling.Oh baby please, give a little respect to me. [<]

A Summer PlaceMax Steiner, Mack Discant (1959) / Andy Williams

There's a summer placeWhere it may rain or stormYet I'm safe and warmFor within that summer placeYour arms reach out to meAnd my heart is free from all careFor it knows...

There are no gloomy skies whenSeen through the eyes ofThose who are blessed with loveAnd the sweet secret of

A summer placeIs that it's anywhereWhen two people shareAll their hopes, all their dreamsAll their love.

There's a summer placeWhere it may rain or stormYet I'm safe and warmIn your arms, in your armsIn your arms. [<]

And I Love You SoDon McLean (1973)

And I love you so. The people ask me how.How I’ve lived till now. I tell them I don’t know.

I guess they understand how lonely life has beenBut life began again the day you took my hand.

And, yes, I know how lonely life can be.The shadows follow me, and the night won’t set me free.But I don’t let the evening get me downNow that you’re around me.

And you love me too; your thoughts are just for meYou set my spirit free. I’m happy that you did.

The book of life is brief, and once a page is readAll but love is dead. That is my belief.

And, yes, I know how loveless life can be.The shadows follow me, And the night won’t set me free.But I don’t let the evening bring me downNow that you’re around me.

And I love you so. The people ask me how,How I’ve lived till now. I tell them I don’t know. [<]

AngelSarah McLachlin (1997)

Spend all your time waiting for that second chanceFor a break that would make it okay.There's always some reason to feel not good enoughAnd it's hard at the end of the day.I need some distraction. oh beautiful releaseMemory seeps from my veins.Let me be empty and weightless and maybeI'll find some peace tonight.

! in the arms of the angel, fly away from here! from this dark cold hotel room! and the endlessness that you fear! you are pulled from the wreckage ! of your silent reverie! you're in the arms of the angel! may you find some comfort here

So tired of the straight line and everywhere you turnThere's vultures and thieves at your back.And the storm keeps on twisting You keep on building the lieThat you make up for all that you lack.It don't make no difference escaping one last timeIt's easier to believe In this sweet madness, oh this glorious sadness That brings me to my knees...! (CHORUS)

! you're in the arms of the angel! may you find some comfort here. [<]

Angel Of The MorningChip Taylor (1966) / Merillee Rush, Juice Newton, etc

! just call me angel of the morning, angel! just touch my cheek before you leave me, baby! just call me angel of the morning, angel! then slowly turn away from me.

Maybe the sunlight will be dimBut it won’t matter anyhowIf morning’s echoes say we’ve sinnedThen it was what I wanted nowAnd if we’re victims of the nightI won’t be blinded by the light...! (CHORUS)

Baby baby...! (CHORUS) (2x) [...]

AngelsRobbie Williams, Guy Chambers (1997)

I sit and waitDoes an angel Contemplate my fate?Do they know The places where we goWhen we're gray and old.'Cause I've been toldThat salvation Lets their wings unfold

So when I'm lyin' in my bedThoughts runnin' through my headAnd I feel that love is deadI'm lovin' angels instead.

! and through it all ! (s)he offers me protection! a love and affection, ! whether I'm right or wrong! and down the waterfall ! wherever it may take me! i know that life won't break me! when I come to call! (s)he won't forsake me! i'm lovin' angels instead

When I'm feelin' weakAnd my pain walks down A one way streetI look above and I know I'll always be Blessed with loveAnd as the feeling growsShe breathes flesh to my bonesAnd when love is dead, I'm lovin' angels instead...! (CHORUS)

(instrumental bridge)... !(CHORUS) [<]

Annie’s SongJohn Denver (1974)

You fill up my sensesLike a night in the forestLike the mountains in springtime, Like a walk in the rain.Like a storm in the desert, Like a sleepy blue oceanYou fill up my senses; Come fill me again.

Another DayPaul McCartney (1970)

Everyday she takes a morning bathShe wets her hairWraps a towel around herAs she's heading for the bedroom chairIt's just another daySlipping into stockings, stepping into shoesDipping in the pocket of her raincoatIt's just another day

At the office where the papers growShe takes a breakDrinks another coffee And she finds it hard to stay awakeIt's just another dayDo do do do do do it's just another day (2x)

So sad, so sad, sometimes she feels so sadAlone in her apartment she'd dwellTill the man of her dreams comes to Break the spellOh, stay, don't stand aroundAnd he comes and he staysBut he leaves the next day, so sadSometimes she feels so sad

As she posts another letter to the sound of fivePeople gather 'round herAnd she finds it hard to stay aliveIt's just another dayDo do do do do do it's just another day (2x)

(repeat bridge and first verse)Do do do do do do it's just another day (2x) [<]

We can never know about the days to come But we think about them anyway And I wonder if I'm really with you now Or just chasing after some finer day

! anticipation, anticipation ! is making me late; keeping me waiting

And I tell you how easy it feels to be with youAnd how right your arms feel around meBut I rehearsed those words just late last night,When I was thinking about how right Tonight might be....(CHORUS)

And tomorrow, we might not be together.I’m no prophet, oh I don't know nature's way.So I’ll try and see into your eyes right now. And stay right here 'cos these are the good old daysAnd stay right here 'cos these are the good old days! [these are the good old days] (x3)

Are You Lonesome TonightLou Handman, Roy Turk (1926)

Are you lonesome tonight,Do you miss me tonight?Are you sorry we drifted apart?Does your memory stray To a brighter sunny dayWhen I kissed you and called you sweetheart?

Do the chairs in your parlor Seem empty and bare?Do you gaze at your doorstep And picture me there?

Is your heart filled with pain, Shall I come back again?Tell me dear, are you lonesome tonight? [<]

As Tears Go ByMick Jagger, Keith Richards, Andrew Long Oldham (1965) / Rolling Stones

It is the evening of the day,I sit and watch the children play.Smiling faces I can see,But not for me,I sit and watch as tears go by.

My riches can't buy everything,I want to hear the children sing.All I hear is the sound of rain Falling on the ground,I sit and watch as tears go by.

It is the evening of the day,I sit and watch the children play.Doing things I used to doThey think are new.I sit and watch as tears go by [...]

As Time Goes ByHerman Hupfield (1931)

You must remember this, A kiss is still a kiss, a sigh is just a sigh,The fundamental things apply as time goes by.

And when two lovers woo, They still say I love you, on that you can relyNo matter what the future bringsAs time goes by

Moonlight and love songs never out of dateHearts filled with passion, jealousy and hateWoman needs womanAnd man must have his mateThat no one can deny.

It's still the same old storyA fight for love and gloryA case of do or dieThe world will always welcome loversAs time goes by. [<]

I'm a light world away, From the people who make me stay Sittin' on the bad side of the moon ...! (CHORUS)

There ain't no need for watchdogs here, To justify our ways We lived our lives in manacles, The main cause of our stay

And exiled here from other worlds, My sentence comes to soon Why should I be made to pay On the bad side of the moon

I'm a light world away, From the people who make me stay Sittin' on the bad side of the moon ...! (CHORUS) [...]

Ballad Of Gilligan’s IsleSherwood Schwartz, George Wyle (1964) / Wellingtons

Just sit right back and you’ll hear a tale,A tale of a fateful tripThat started from this tropic port,Aboard this tiny Ship.

The mate was a mighty sailin’ man,The Skipper brave and sure,Five passengers set sail that dayFor a three hour tour.A three hour tour. (sound of thunder)

The weather started getting rough,The tiny ship was tossed.If not for the courage of the fearless crew,The Minnow would be lost.The Minnow would be lost.

10

The ship’s aground on the shore of thisUncharted desert isleWith Gilligan, the Skipper too,The Millionaire and his wife,A movie star, the Professor and Mary Ann,Here on Gilligan’s Isle!

So this is the tale of our castaways,They’re here for a long, long timeThey’ll have to make the best of things,It’s an uphill climb.

The first mate and the Skipper too,Will do their very best,To make the others comfortable,In their tropic island nest.

No phone! No light! No motor car!Not a single luxury,Like Robinson C-ru-soe, It’s primitive as can be.

So join us here each week my friends,You’re sure to get a smile,From seven stranded castways,Here on “Gilligan’s Isle.” [<]

People always told me, "Be careful what you do,Don’t go around breaking young girls hearts"And mother always told me, "Be careful who you loveBe careful what you do‘Cause the lie becomes the truth" hey

! billie jean is not my lover! she’s just a girl who ! claims that I am the one! but the kid is not my son.! she says I am the one ! but the kid is not my son.

For forty days and forty nights, Law was on her sideBut who can stand when she’s in demand, Her schemes and plans‘Cause we danced on the floor in the roundSo take my strong adviceJust remember to always think twiceDo think twice (do think twice)

She told my baby we danced still threeThen she looked at me, then showed a photo my baby cried‘cause his eyes were like mine, oh noTho’ we'd dance on the floor in the round, baby

People always told me,"Be careful what you doDon’t go around breaking young girls hearts”But she came and stood right by meThen the smell of sweet perfumeThis happened much too soon, She called me to her room, hey...! (CHORUS) (2x) [...]

Well, in a neat little town they call Belfast, apprentice to trade I was boundMany an hours sweet happinesshave I spent in that neat little townTil a sad misfortune came over me, Which caused me to stray from the landFar away from my friends and relations,Betrayed by the black velvet band Black Velvet Band cont’d ...

! her eyes they shone like diamonds! i thought her the queen of the land! and her hair it hung over her shoulder! tied up with a black velvet band

I took a stroll down Broadway, Meaning not long for to stayWhen who should I meet but this pretty fair maid comes a tripping along the highwayShe was both fair and handsome, Her neck it was just like a swansAnd her hair it hung over her shoulder, Tied up with a black velvet band ...! (CHORUS)

I took a stroll with this pretty fair maid, And a gentleman passing us byWell I knew she meant the doing of him, By the look in her roguish black eyeA goldwatch she took from his pocket And placed it right in to my handAnd the very first thing that I said was Bad luck to the black velvet band ...! (CHORUS)

Before the judge and the jury, Next morning I had to appearThe judge he says to me: "Young man, Your case it is proven clearWe'll give you seven years penal servitude, To be spent faraway from the landFar away from your friends and companions,Betrayed by the black velvet band" ...! (CHORUS)

Yes, how many years can a mountain existBefore it's washed to the sea ?Yes, how many years can some people existBefore they're allowed to be free ?Yes, how many times can a man turn his headPretending he just doesn't see ?...! (CHORUS)

Yes, how many times must a man look upBefore he can see the sky ?Yes, how many ears must one man haveBefore he can hear people cry ?Yes, how many deaths will it take till he knowsThat too many people have died ?...! (CHORUS) [<]

Blue BayouRoy Orbison, Joe Melson (1963)

I feel so bad I've got a worried mindI'm so lonesome all the timeSince I left my baby behind on Blue BayouSavin' nickels, savin' dimesWorkin' till the sun don't shineLookin' forward to happier times on Blue Bayou

I'm goin' back some day, Come what may, To Blue BayouWhere you sleep all day And the catfish play On Blue BayouAll those fishin' boats With their sails afloat, If I could only seeThat familiar sunrise Through sleepy eyes How happy I'd be.

Oh, to see my baby againAnd to be with some of my friendsMaybe I'd be happy then on Blue Bayou

I'm goin' back some day,Gonna stay On Blue BayouWhere the folks are fineAnd the world is mine On Blue BayouAh, that girl of mine by my side, The silver moon And the evening tideAh, some sweet day Gonna take away This hurtin' inside

I'll never be blue, My dreams come trueOn Blue Bayou. [<]

Blue MoonRichard Rodgers, Lorenz Hart (1934)

Blue Moon now I'm no longer aloneWithout a dream in my heartWithout a love of my own [...]

Both Sides NowJoni Mitchell (1970)

Bows and flows of angel hair And ice cream castles in the airAnd feather canyons everywhere, I've looked at cloud that way.But now they only block the sun, They rain and snow on everyone.So many things i would have done But clouds got in my way.

! i've looked at clouds from both sides now,! from up and down, and still somehow! it's cloud illusions i recall.! i really don't know clouds at all.

Moons and Junes and ferris wheels, The dizzy dancing way you feelAs every fairy tale comes real; I've looked at love that way.But now it's just another show. You leave 'em laughing when you goAnd if you care, don't let them know, Don't give yourself away....! (chorus substituting “love” for “clouds”)

Tears and fears and feeling proud To say "i love you" right out loud,Dreams and schemes and circus crowds, I've looked at life that way.But now old friends are acting strange, They shake their heads, they say I've changed.Something's lost but something's gainedIn living every day....! (chorus substituting “life” for “clouds”)...! (original chorus with “clouds”) [<]

Break It To Them GentlyBurton Cummings (1979)

Break it to them gently When you tell my Mom and DadWhen you see my baby sisterBe as kind as you canAnd break it to my Grandma, Who said, "That boy's wild and bad"Break it to them gently when you tell themThat I won't be coming home again.

! 'cause I'm running with a gun ! and it isn't any fun as a fugitive! fightin' for my life ! and I don't know if I'll make it alone! running with a gun ! and it isn't any fun as a fugitive! god I wanna go home,! lord I wish I was home

When you see my lady With the twinkle in her eyesTell it to her softly And hold her if she criesTell her that I love her And I will till the day I dieTell it to her gently when you tell her that I won't be coming home again

I got in too deep with strangersThinking they could help me find my wayNobody warned me of the dangersAnd it's always the young and foolish that have to pay

So break it to them gently When you tell my Mom and DadThank them for the good years And all the lovin' that I hadAnd break it to my Grandma,Who said, "The boy is wild and bad"Break it to them gently when you tell themThat I won't be comin' home again...! (CHORUS) [...]

Breaking Up Is Hard To DoHoward Greenfield, Neil Sedaka (1961)

Do-do-do down doobie-doo-down-down. Com-a, com-a, .... Breakin' up is hard to do.

Don't take your love away from me. Don't you leave my heart in misery. If you go then I'll be blue. 'Cause breakin' up his hard to do. Remember when you held me tight? And you kissed me all through the night? Think of all that we've been through. And breakin' up is hard to do.

(Bridge:)They say that breakin' up is hard to do. Now I know, I know that it's true. Don't say that this is the end. Instead of breakin' up, I wish that we were makin' up again.

I beg of you, don't say goodbye. Can't we give our love another try? Come on, baby, let's start anew. 'Cause breakin' up is hard to do.

BreatheStephanie Bentley, Holly Lamar (1999) / Faith Hill

I can feel the magic floating in the air.Being with you gets me that wayI watch the sunlight dance across your faceAnd I've never been this swept away.

All my thoughts just seem to settle on the breeze When I'm lying wrapped up in your armsThe whole world just fades away;The only thing I hear is the beating of your heart

! i can feel you breathe,! it's washing over me. ! suddenly I'm melting into you.! there's nothing left to prove! baby all we need is just to be.! caught up in the touch,! the slow and steady rush! baby isn't that the way ! that love’s supposed to be.! i can feel you breathe....just breathe.

In a way I know my heart is waking upAs all the walls come tumbling downI'm closer than I've ever felt before And I know and you know, There's no need for words right now....! (CHORUS)

I can feel the magic floating in the airBeing with you gets me that way. [<]

He's like the son I might have known If God had granted me a son. The summers die one by one

Can We Still Be FriendsTodd Rundgren (1879)

We can't play this game anymore butCan we still be friends?Things just can't go on like before butCan we still be friends?

Let's admit we made a mistake butCan we still be friends?Heartbreak's never easy to take butCan we still be friends?

It's a strange, sad affairSometimes seems like we just don't careDon't waste time feeling hurtWe've been through hell togetherla la la (4x)

Canadian Railroad TrilogyGordon Lightfoot (1967)

There was a time in this fair landWhen the railroad did not runWhen the wild majestic mountains Stood alone against the sunLong before the white man and Long before the wheelWhen the green dark forest was too silent to be real.

But time has no beginningsAnd history has no boundsAs to this verdant country They came from all aroundThey sailed upon her waterways And they walked the forests tall

And they built the mills and the factories For the good of us all

And when the young man's fancy Was turnin' to the springThe railroad men grew restless for To hear the hammers ringTheir minds were overflowing with the visions of their dayAnd many a fortune lost and won And many a debt to pay.

For they looked in the future and what did they see?They saw an iron road runnin' from the sea to the seaBringin' the goods to a young growin' landAll up through the seaports and into their hands Look away said they across this mighty landFrom the eastern shore to the western strand

Bring in the workers and bring up the railsWe gotta lay down the tracks and tear up the trailsOpen her heart let the life blood flowGotta get on our way 'cause we're movin' too slowGet on our way 'cause we're movin' too slow

Behind the blue Rockies the sun is declinin'The stars they come stealin' at the close of the dayAcross the wide prairie our loved ones lie sleepingBeyond the dark oceans in a place far away

We are the navvies who work upon the railwaySwingin' our hammers in the bright blazin' sunLivin' on stew and drinkin' bad whiskeyBendin' our old backs 'til the long days are done

We are the navvies who work upon the railwaySwingin' our hammers in the bright blazin' sunLayin' down track and buildin' the bridgesBendin' our old backs 'til the railroad is done

So over the mountains and over the plainsInto the muskeg and into the rainUp the St. Lawrence all the way to GaspeSwingin' our hammers and drawin' our payDrivin' 'em in and tyin' 'em downAway to the bunkhouse and into the town

24

A dollar a day and a place for my headA drink to the livin' and a toast to the dead

Oh the song of the future has been sungAll the battles have been wonO'er the mountain tops we standAll the world at our commandWe have opened up the soilWith our teardrops and our toil

(repeat first verse)When the green dark forest wasToo silent to be realAnd many are the dead men ...Too silent to be real. [<]

Candle In The WindElton John, Bernie Taupin (1973)

Goodbye Norma JeanThough I never knew you at allYou had the grace to hold yourselfWhile those around you crawledThey crawled out of the woodworkAnd they whispered into your brainThey set you on the treadmillAnd they made you change your name

! and it seems to me you lived your life! like a candle in the wind! never knowing who to cling to! when the rain set in! and I would have liked to have known you! but I was just a kid! your candle burned out long before! your legend ever did

Loneliness was toughThe toughest role you ever playedHollywood created a superstarAnd pain was the price you paidEven when you diedOh the press still hounded youAll the papers had to sayWas that Marilyn was found in the nude...! (CHORUS)

Carefree HighwayGordon Lightfoot (1974)

Pickin' up the pieces Of my sweet shattered dreamI wonder how the old folks are tonightHer name was Ann and I'll be damned If I recall her faceShe left me not knowin' what to do Carefree highway, let me slip away on youCarefree highway, you seen better daysThe mornin' after blues From my head down to my shoesCarefree highway, let me slip awaySlip away on you

Turnin' back the pages to the times I love bestI wonder if she'll ever do the sameNow the thing that I call livin' Is just bein' satisfiedWith knowin' I got no one left to blame Carefree highway, got ta see you my old flameCarefree highway, you seen better daysThe mornin' after blues From my head down to my shoesCarefree highway, let me slip awaySlip away on you

Searchin' through the fragments of my Dream-shattered sleepI wonder if the years have closed her mindI guess it must be wanderlust or tryin' to get freeFrom the good old faithful feelin' we once knew Carefree highway, let me slip away on youCarefree highway, you seen better daysThe mornin' after blues From my head down to my shoesCarefree highway, let me slip awaySlip away on you

Carefree highway, good to see you my old flameCarefree highway, you seen better daysThe mornin' after blues from my head down to my shoesCarefree highway, let me slip awaySlip away on you [...]

CareyJoni Mitchell (1971)

The wind is in from Africa. Last night I couldn't sleepOh, you know it sure is hard to leave here CareyBut it's really not my home.My fingernails are filthy, I got Beach tar on my feetAnd I miss my clean white linen and my Fancy French cologne.

! oh Carey get out your cane! and I'll put on some silver! oh you're a mean old Daddy,! but I like you fine.

Come on down to the Mermaid Cafe and I willBuy you a bottle of wineAnd we'll laugh and toast to nothing andSmash our empty glasses down.Let's have a round for these freaks and soldiersA round for these friends of mineLet's have another round for the bright red devilWho keeps me in this tourist town....! (CHORUS)

Maybe I'll go to AmsterdamOr maybe I'll go to RomeAnd rent me a grand piano and Put some flowers 'round my room.But let's not talk about fare-thee-welIs nowThe night is a starry dome.And they're playin' that scratchy rock and rollBeneath the Matalla Moon....! (CHORUS)

The wind is in from AfricaLast night I couldn't sleepOh, you know it sure is hard to leave hereBut, it's really not my home.Maybe it's been too long a time since I wasScramblin' down in the street, now they got meUsed to that clean white linen and that Fancy French cologne.

Dark and silent late last nightI think I might have heard the highway callingGeese in flight and dogs that biteSigns that might be omens say I going, goingI'm gone to Carolina in my mind

With a holy host of others standing around meStill I'm on the dark side of the moonAnd it seems like it goes on like this foreverYou must forgive meIf I'm up and gone to Carolina in my mind...! (CHORUS)

Gone to Carolina in my mind ... [...]

Carolina In The MorningGus Kahn, Walter Donaldson (1922)

Nothing could be finer than to be in Carolina in the morningNo one could be sweeter than my sweetie when I meet her in the morning

When a morning glory went around the doorWhispering pretty stories I long to hear once more

Rolling with my girly Where the dew is pearly early in the morning.Butterflies all flutter up And kiss each little buttercup at dawning.

If I had Aladdin's lamp for only a dayI'd make a wish and here's what I'd say:Nothing could be finer than to be in Carolina in the morning!

(instrumental verse)

When a morning glory wind around the doorWhispering pretty stories I long to hear once more(repeat second verse) [<]

Carrickfergustraditional

I wish I was in CarrickfergusWhere the castle looks out to sea.I would swim over the deepest oceanFor my love to be with me.But the sea is wide and I can not swim over Nor have I the wings to flyI wish I had a handsome boatman,To ferry me over, my love and I.

I wish I was in the land of Eire,Where the mountains reach the sea.Where flowers blossom as I do remember.Where my true love came to me.But the sea is wide and I can not swim over.Nor have I the wings to fly.I wish I was in CarrickfergusTo be together .. my love and I. [<]

CherishTerry Kirkman (1968) / The Association

Cherish is the word I use to describeAll the feeling that I have hiding here for you insideYou don't know how many times I've wished that I had told youYou don't know how many times I've wished that I could hold youYou don't know how many times I've wished that I could mold you into someoneWho could cherish me as much as I cherish you

Perish is the word that more than appliesTo the hope in my heart each time I realizeThat I am not gonna be the one To share your dreamsThat I am not gonna be the one To share your schemesThat I am not gonna be the one To share what seems to be the life that you couldCherish as much as I do yours

Oh I'm beginning to think that man has never foundThe words that could make you want meThat have the right amount of letters, just the right soundThat could make you hear, make you seeThat you are drivin' me out of my mind

Oh I could say I need you but then you'd realizeThat I want you just like a thousand other guysWho'd say they loved you with all the rest of their liesWhen all they wanted was to touch your face, your hands, and gaze into your eyes

(repeat first verse)And I do cherish you, and I do cherish youCherish is the word. [<]

The Circle GameJoni Mitchell (1967)

Yesterday, a child came out to wanderCaught a dragonfly inside a jarFearful, when the sky was full of thunderand tearful at the falling of a star

! and the seasons ! they go round and round! and the painted ponies go up and down! we're captive on the carousel of time! we can't return, we can only look! behind from where we came! and go round and round and round ! in the circle game

Then the child moved ten times round the seasonsSkated over ten clear frozen streamsWords like when you're older must appease himAnd promises of someday make his dreams...! (CHORUS)

Sixteen springs And sixteen summers gone nowCartwheels turn to carwheels through the townAnd they tell him take your time,It won't be long now'Til you drag your feet to slow the circles down...! (CHORUS)

So the years spin by And now the boy is twentyThough his dreams have lost some grandeurComing trueThere'll be new dreams, Maybe better dreams, and plentyBefore the last revolving year is through...! (CHORUS)

And go round and round and round In the circle game [<]

The Circle Of LifeElton John, Tim Rice (1994) / The Lion King

From the day we arrive on the planetAnd blinking, step into the sunThere's more to be seen than can ever be seenMore to do than can ever be done

Some say eat or be eatenSome say live and let liveBut all are agreed as they join the stampedeYou should never take more than you give

! in the circle of life, ! it's the wheel of fortune! it's the leap of faith, ! it's the band of hope! ‘til we find our place ! on the path unwinding! in the circle, the circle of life

Some of us fall by the waysideAnd some of us soar to the starsAnd some of us sail through our troublesAnd some have to live with the scars.

There's far too much to take in hereMore to find than can ever be foundBut the sun rolling high through the sapphire skyKeeps great and small on the endless round...! (CHORUS) [<]

Climb Every MountainRichard Rogers, Oscar Hammerstein II (1959) / The Sound Of Music

Cold Cold HeartHank Williams (1951)

I tried so hard my dear To show that you're my every dream.Yet you're afraid each thing I do Is just some evil schemeA memory from your lonesome past Keeps us so far apartWhy can't I free your doubtful mindAnd melt your cold cold heart

Another love before my time Made your heart sad and blue

And so my heart is paying nowFor things I didn't doIn anger unkind words are saidThat make the teardrops startWhy can't I free your doubtful mind,And melt your cold cold heart

You'll never know how much it hurtsTo see you sit and cryYou know you need and want my loveYet you're afraid to tryWhy do you run and hide from life,To try it just ain't smartWhy can't I free your doubtful mindAnd melt your cold cold heart

There was a time when I believedThat you belonged to meBut now I know your heart is shackled To a memoryThe more I learn to care for you,The more we drift apartWhy can't I free your doubtful mindAnd melt your cold cold heart [<]

Come DancingRay Davies (1983) / The Kinks

They put a parking lot on a piece of land Where the supermarket used to stand. Before that they put up a bowling alley On the site that used to be the local Palais. That's where the big bands used to come to play. My sister went there on a Saturday. Come dancing, All her boyfriends used to come and call. Why not come dancing, it's only natural?

Another Saturday, another date. She would be ready but she'd always make him wait In the hallway, in anticipation, He didn't know the night would end up in frustration He'd end up blowing all his wages for the week All for a cuddle and a peck on the cheek. Come dancing, That's how they did it when I was just a kid, And when they said come dancing, My sister always did.

My sister should have come in at midnight, And my mum would always sit up and wait. It always ended up in a big row When my sister used to get home late.

(Out of my window I can see them in the moonlight, two silhouettes saying goodnight by the garden gate.)

The day they knocked down the Palais My sister stood and cried. The day they knocked down the Palais. Part of her childhood died, just died.

Now I'm grown up and playing in a band, And there's a car park where the Palais used to standMy sister's married and she lives on an estate. Her daughters go out, now it's her turn to wait. She lets them get away with things she never couldBut if I asked her I wonder if she would, Come dancing, Come on sister, have yourself a ball.

Don't be afraid to come dancing, It's only natural.

Come dancing, Just like the Palais on a Saturday. And all her friends would come dancing Where the big bands used to play. [<]

CrazySeal, Guy Sigsworth (1991) / Seal

A man decides after seventy years, That what he goes there for is to unlock the doorWhile those around him criticize and sleep.And through a fractal on a breaking wall, I see you my friend and touch your face again.Miracles will happen as we trip.

but we're never gonna survive unlesswe get a little crazyno we're never gonna survive, unlesswe are a little ... crazy.

This thing called love, it cries in a cradle all nightIt swings, it jives, it shakes all over like a jelly fishI kinda like it. Crazy little thing called love

There goes my baby. She knows how to rock n' rollShe drives me crazyShe gives me hot and cold fever Then she leaves me in a cool cool sweat.

Creeque AlleyJohn Phillips, Michelle Phillips (1967) / Mamas and the Papas

John and Mitchy were gettin' kind of itchyJust to leave their folk music behind;Zal and Denny workin' for a pennyTryin' to get a fish on the line.In a coffee house Sebastian sat,And after every number they'd pass the hat.McGuinn and McGuire just a-gettin' higherin L.A., you know where that's at.and no one's gettin' fat except Mama Cass.

Zal he said, "Denny, you know there aren't many who can sing a song the way that you do; Let's go south." Denny said, "Zally, golly, don't you think that I wishI could play guitar like you."Zal, Denny, and Sebastian sat (at the Night Owl)And after every number they'd pass the hat.McGuinn and McGuire just a-gettin' higher

in L.A., you know where that's at.and no one's gettin' fat except Mama Cass.

When Cass was a sophomore, planned to go to SwarthmoreBut she changed her mind one day.Standin' on the turnpike, thumb out to hitchhike"Take me to New York right away."When Denny met Cass he gave her love bumps;Called John and Zal and that was the Mugwumps.McGuinn and McGuire couldn't get no higherBut that's what they were aimin' at.And no one's gettin' fat except Mama Cass.

Mugwumps, high jumps, low slumps, big bumpsDon't you work as hard as you play.Make up, break up, everything is shake up;Guess it had to be that way.Sebastian and Zal formed the Spoonful;Michelle, John, and Denny gettin' very tuneful.McGuinn and McGuire just a-catchin' fire in L.A., you know where that's at.And everybody's gettin' fat except Mama Cass.

Broke, busted, disgusted, agents can't be trusted,And Mitchy wants to go to the sea.Cass can't make it; she says we'll have to fake it-We knew she'd come eventually.Greasin' on American Express cards;Tents low rent, but keeping out the heat's hard.Duffy's good vibrations and our imaginationsCan't go on indefinitely.And California dreamin' is becomin' a reality [...]

Crooked TeethBenjamin Gibbard (2005) / Death Cab For Cutie

It was one hundred degreesAs we sat beneath a willow tree,Who's tears didn't care, they just hung in the airAnd refused to fall, to fall.

And I knew I'd made horrible call,And now the state line felt like the Berlin wall,And there was no doubt about which side I was on. Oo hoo….

34

Cause I built you a home in my heart,With rotten wood, it decayed from the start.

! cause you can't find nothing at all! if there was nothing there all along.! no you can't find nothing at all! if there was nothing there all along.

I braved treacherous streets,And kids strung out on homemade speed.And we shared a bed in which I could not sleepAt all, woo hoo, woo hoo

Cause at night the sun in retreatMade the skyline look like crooked teeth,In the mouth of a man who was devouringUs both.

You're so cute when you're slurring your speechBut they’re closing the bar and they want us to leave...! (CHORUS)

(Bridge:)I'm a war of head versus heart, and it's always this wayMy head is weak, my heart always speaks Before I know what it will say.

The Day Before You CameBenny Anderson, Bjorn Ulvaeus (1982) / ABBA

I must have left my house at 8, because I always do My train, I'm certain, left the station just when it was due I must have read the morning paper Going into town

And having gotten through the editorial, No doubt I must have frowned I must have made my desk around a quarter after 9 With letters to be read, and heaps of papersWaiting to be signed I must have gone to lunch at half past 12 or so The usual place, the usual bunch And still on top of this I'm pretty sure it must have rainedThe day before you came

I must have lit my 7th cigarette at half past two And at the time I never even noticed I was blue I must have kept on dragging through the business of the day Without really knowing anything, I hid a part of me away At 5, I must have left, there's no exception to the rule A matter of routine, I've done it ever since I finished school The train back home again Undoubtedly I must have read The evening paper then Oh yes I'm sure my life was well within it's usual frame The day before you came

Must have opened my front door at 8 o'clock or so And stopped along the way to buy some Chinese food to go I'm sure I had my dinner watching something on TVThere's not, I think, a single episode of Dallas that I didn't see I must’ve gone to bed around a quarter after 10 I need a lot of sleep, and so I like to be in bed by then I must have read a while The latest one by Marilyn French Or something in that style It's funny, but I had no sense of living without aim The day before you came

And turning out the light I must have yawned and cuddled up for yet another night And rattling on the roof I must have heard the sound of rain The day before you came. [...]

DaydreamJohn Sebastian (1966) / Lovin Spoonful

What a day for a daydreamWhat a day for a daydreamin' boyAnd I'm lost in a daydreamDreamin' 'bout my bundle of joyAnd even if time ain't really on my sideIt's one of those days for taking a walk outsideI'm blowing the day to take a walk in the sunAnd fall on my face on somebody's new-mown lawn

I've been having a sweet dreamI been dreaming since I woke up todayIt's starring me and my sweet thing'Cause she's the one makes me feel this wayAnd even if time is passing me by a lotI couldn't care less about the dues you say I gotTomorrow I'll pay the dues for dropping my loadA pie in the face for being a sleepy bull toad

..And you can be sure that if you're feeling rightA daydream will last long into the nightTomorrow at breakfast you may prick up your earsOr you may be daydreaming for a thousand years

What a day for a daydreamCustom made for a daydreaming boyAnd now I'm lost in a daydreamDreaming 'bout my bundle of joy [...]

Daydream BelieverJohn Stewart (1967) / The Monkees

Oh, I could hide 'neath the wings Of the bluebird as she singsThe six o'clock alarm would never ringBut it rings and I rise Wipe the sleep out of my eyesThe shavin' razor's cold, and it stings

! Cheer up, sleepy Jean, oh what can it mean! To a daydream believer and a ! homecoming queen?

DesperadoGlenn Frey, Din Henley (1973) / The Eagles

Desperado, why don't you come to your senses? You been out ridin' fences for so long now Oh, you're a hard one. I know that you got your reasonsThese things that are pleasin' you Can hurt you somehow

Don't you draw the queen of diamonds, boy She'll beat you if she's able The queen of hearts is always your best betNow it seems to me, some fine things Have been laid upon your table But you only want the ones that you can't get

Desperado, oh, you ain't gettin' no younger Your pain and your hunger, they're drivin' you homeAnd freedom, oh freedom Well, that's just some people talkin' Your prison is walking through this world all alone

Don't your feet get cold in the winter time? The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine It's hard to tell the night time from the day You're losin' all your highs and lows Ain't it funny how the feeling goes away?

Desperado, why don't you come to your senses? Come down from your fences, open the gate It may be rainin' but there's a rainbow above youYou’d better let somebody love you, You’d better let somebody love you Before it's too late. [<]

Do You Believe In Magic?John Sebastian (1965) / Lovin Spoonful

Do you believe in magic in a young girl's heartHow the music can free her, whenever it startsAnd it's magic, if the music is groovyIt makes you feel happy like an old-time movieI'll tell you about the magic, and it'll free your soulBut it's like trying to tell a stranger 'bout rock and roll

If you believe in magic don't bother to chooseIf it's jug band music or rhythm and bluesJust go and listen it'll start with a smileIt won't wipe off your face no matter how hard you tryYour feet start tapping and you can't seem to findHow you got there, so just blow your mind

If you believe in magic, come along with meWe'll dance until morning 'til there's just you and meAnd maybe, if the music is rightI'll meet you tomorrow, sort of late at nightAnd we'll go dancing, baby, then you'll seeHow the magic's in the music and the music's in me

Yeah, do you believe in magicYeah, believe in the magic of a young girl's soulBelieve in the magic of rock and rollBelieve in the magic that can set you freeOhh, talking 'bout magic

Do you believe like I believe... [...]

Do you know the way to San Jose?I've been away so longI may go wrong and lose my way

Do you know the way to San JoseI'm going back to findSome piece of mind in San Jose

L. A. is a great big freewayPut a hundred down a by a carIn a week maybe two they'll make you a starWeeks turn into years and quickly passAnd all the stars there never were

Are parkin' cars and pumpin' gas

Don’t Ask Me WhyBilly Joel (1980)

All the waiters in your grand cafeLeave their tables when you blinkEvery dog must have his everydayEvery drunk must have his drinkDon't wait for answers, just take your chancesDon't ask me why

All your life you've had to stand in lineStill you're standing on your feetAll your choices make you change your mindNow your calendar's completeDon't wait for answers, just take your chancesDon't ask me why

You can say the human heart Is only make-believeAnd I am only fighting fire with fireYou are still the victim of the accidents you leaveSure as I'm a victim of desire

All the servants in your new hotelThrow their roses at your feetFool them all but baby I can tellYou're no stranger to the streetDon't ask for favors, don't talk to strangersDon't ask me why

(instrumental bridge)

Yesterday you were an only childNow your ghosts have gone awayYou can kill them in the classic styleNow you parlez-vous francaisDon't look for answers, you took your chancesDon't ask me why.Don't ask me why [<]

Don’t Dream It’s OverNeil Finn (1986) / Crowded House

There is freedom within, there is freedom withoutTry to catch the deluge in a paper cupThere's a battle ahead, many battles are lostBut you'll never see the end of the roadWhile you're traveling with me

! hey now, hey now, don't dream it's over! hey now, hey now, when the world comes in! they come, they come to build a wall between us! we know they won't win.

Now I'm towing my car, there's a hole in the roofMy possessions are causing me suspicion but there's no proofIn the paper today, tales of war and of wasteBut you turn right over to the TV page...! (CHORUS)

Now I'm walking again to the beat of a drumAnd I'm counting the steps to the door of your heartOnly shadows ahead, barely clearing the roofGet to know the feeling of liberation and release...! (CHORUS)

Well, don't let them winHey now, hey nowDon't let them winDon't let them win, yeah [...]

Don’t Fence Me InCole Porter, Robert Fletcher (1934)

Oh give me land, lots of land under starry skies aboveDon't fence me inLet me ride thru the wide-open country that I loveDon't fence me in

Let me be by myself in the evening breezeListen to the murmur of the cottonwood treesSend me off forever, but I ask you pleaseDon't fence me in.

Just turn me loose, let me straddle my old saddle underneath the western skiesOn my cayuse let me wander over yonder till I see the mountains rise

I want to ride to the ridge where the west commencesGaze at the moon until I loose my sensesI can't look at hobbles and I can't stand fencesDon't fence me in

Don’t Get Me WrongChrissie Hynde (1986) / Pretenders

Don't get me wrong if I'm looking kind of dazzledI see neon lights whenever you walk byDon't get me wrong if you say hello and I take a rideUpon a sea where the mystic moonIs playing havoc with the tideDon't get me wrong.

Don't get me wrong if I'm acting so distractedI'm thinking about the fireworksthat go off when you smileDon't get me wrong if I split like light refractedI'm only off to wander across a moonlit mile

Once in a while two people meetSeemingly for no reason they just pass on the streetSuddenly thunder, showers everywhereWho can explain the thunder and rainBut there's something in the air

(instrumental verse)

Don't get me wrong if I come and go like fashionI might be great tomorrow but hopeless yesterdayDon't get me wrong if I fall in the mode of passionIt might be unbelievable but let's not say so long

It might just be fantastic don't get me wrong [<]

I waited 'til I saw the sundon't know why I didn't comeI left you by the house of fundon't know why I didn't come bydon't know why I didn't come

When I saw the break of dayI wished that I could fly awayInstead of kneeling in the sandCatching teardrops in my hand

My heart is drenched in wineBut you'll be on my mind forever

You wander around on your own little cloudWhen you don't see the why or the wherefore.You walk out on me when we both disagree'Cause to reason is not what you care for.

I've heard it all a million times before.Take off your coat, my love, and close the door.

! don't sleep in the subway, darlin'.! don't stand in the pouring rain.! don't sleep in the subway, darlin'.! the night is long.! forget your foolish pride.! nothing's wrong,! now you're beside me again.

Good-bye means nothing when it's all for show.So why pretend you've somewhere else to go?...! (CHORUS) (2x) [...]

Early Morning RainGordon Lightfoot (1966)

In the early morning rain with a dollar in my handWith an aching in my heart And my pockets full of sandNow, I'm a long way from home And I miss my loved ones soIn the early morning rain with no place to go

Out on runway number nine, big 707's set to goBut, I'm stuck here in the grass Where the cold wind blowsNow, the liquor tasted good And the women all were fastWell, there she goes, my friend, Well she's going down at last

Hear the mighty engines roar See the silver bird on highShe's away and westward bound Far above the clouds she'll flyThere the morning rain don't fall And the sun always shinesShe'll be flying over my home In about three hours time

This old airport's got me downIt's no earthly good to me'Cause I'm stuck here on the ground As cold and drunk as I can beYou can't jump a jet plane Like you can a freight trainSo, I'd best be on my way In the early morning rain [<]

The eastern world it is explodin',Violence flarin', bullets loadin',You're old enough to kill but not for votin',You don't believe in war, But what's that gun you're totin',And even the Jordan river has bodies floatin',

! but you tell me ! over and over and over again my friend, ! ah, you don't believe ! we're on the eve of destruction.

Don't you understand what I'm trying to say? Can't you feel the fears that I'm feeling today? If the button is pushed, there's no running away, There'll be no one to save with the world in a graveTake a look around you, boy, it's bound to scare you, boy,

...! (CHORUS)

Yeah, my blood's so mad, feels like coagulatin',I'm sittin' here, just contemplatin',I can't twist the truth, it knows no regulation,Handful of Senators don't pass legislation,And marches alone can't bring integration,When human respect is disintegratin',This whole crazy world is just too frustratin',...! (CHORUS)

Think of all the hate there is in Red China! Then take a look around to Selma, Alabama! Ah, you may leave here, for four days in space,But when your return, it's the same old place, The poundin' of the drums, the pride and disgraceYou can bury your dead, but don't leave a trace, Hate your next-door-neighbour, but don't forget to say grace,...! (CHORUS)! mmm, no, no. you don't believe! we're on the eve of destruction. [<]

EvergreenBarbra Syreisand, Paul Williams (1976)

Love soft as an easy chair; Love fresh as the morning airOne love that is shared by two, I have found with youLike a rose under the April snowI was always certain love would growLove ageless and evergreen, seldom seen by two

You and I will make each night a firstEvery day a beginningSpirits rise and their dance is unrehearsedThey warm and excite us 'cause we have the brightest love

Two lives that shine as oneMorning glory and midnight sunTime we've learned to sail aboveTime won't change the meaning of one loveageless and ever evergreen. [<]

! and in this crazy life,! and through these crazy times! it's you, it's you, you make me sing.! you're every line, you're every word, ! you're everything.

You're a carousel, you're a wishing well,And you light me up, when you ring my bell.You're a mystery, you're from outer space,You're every minute of my everyday.And I can't believe, uh that I'm your man,And I get to kiss you baby just because I can.Whatever comes our way, we'll see it through,And you know that's what our love can do....(CHORUS) (2x) [<]

Father And SonCat Stevens (1970)

It's not time to make a change,Just relax, take it easy.You're still young, that's your fault,There's so much you have to know.Find a girl, settle down,If you want you can marry.Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy.

I was once like you are now, And I know that it's not easy,To be calm when you've found something going onBut take your time, think a lot,Why, think of everything you've got.For you will still be here tomorrow,But your dreams may not.

How can I try to explain, When I do he turns away again.It's always been the same, same old story.From the moment I could talk I was ordered to listen, nowThere's a way and I know that I have to go awayI know I have to go.

(repeat first verse)

All the times that I cried, Keeping all the things I knew inside,It's hard, but it's harder to ignore it.If they were right, I'd agree, But it's them you know not me, nowThere's a way and I know that I have to go awayI know I have to go. [<]

Can you hear the drums Fernando?I remember long ago another starry night like thisIn the firelight FernandoYou were humming to yourself and softly strumming your guitarI could hear the distant drums and sounds of bugle calls were coming from afar

They were closer now FernandoEvery hour every minute seemed to last eternallyI was so afraid FernandoWe were young and full of life and none of us prepared to dieAnd I'm not ashamed to say the roar of guns and cannons almost made me cry

! There was something in the air that night,! The stars were bright, Fernando! They were shining there for you and me ! For liberty, Fernando! Though we never thought that we could lose,! There's no regret! If I had to do the same again, ! I would my friend, Fernando! If I had to do the same again, ! I would my friend, Fernando

Now we're old and gray FernandoSince many years I haven't seen a rifle in your handCan you hear the drums Fernando?Do you still recall the faithful night we crossed the Rio Grande?I can see it in your eyes how proud you were to fight for freedom in this land....!(CHORUS) (2x)

! yes if I had to do the same again, ! i would my friend, Fernando [<]

From A DistanceJulie Gold (1987) / Nanci Griffith

From a distance the world looks blue and green, And the snow-capped mountains white. From a distance the ocean meets the stream, And the eagle takes to flight.

From a distance, there is harmony, And it echoes through the land. It's the voice of hope, it's the voice of peace, It's the voice of every man.

From a distance we all have enough, And no one is in need. And there are no guns, no bombs and no diseaseNo hungry mouths to feed.

From a distance we are instruments Marching in a common band. Playing songs of hope, playing songs of peace. They're the songs of every man.

! god is watching us. god is watching us. ! god is watching us from a distance.

From a distance you look like my friend, Even though we are at war. From a distance I just cannot comprehend What all this fighting is for.

From a distance there is harmony, and it echoes through the land. And it's the hope of hopes, it's the love of loves, It's the heart of every man.

It's the hope of hopes, it's the love of loves. This is the song of every man. ...! (CHORUS) (2x) [<]

Hard To SayDan Fogelberg (1980)

Lucky at love, well maybe soThere's still a lot of things you'll never knowLike why each time the sky begins to snow, you cry.

You're faithful to her in your careless waySo you miss her when she's far awayBut every time you think you've got it straight you fall.

You face the future with a weary pastThose dreams you banked upon are fading fastYou know you love her but it may not last, you fear.

It's never easy and it's never clearWho's to navigate and who's to steerSo you flounder drifting ever near the rocks.

(Bridge:)It's hard to say where love went wrongIt's hard to say just when (it’s hard to say)It's hard to walk away from loveIt may never come again.

You do your best to keep your hand in playAnd try to keep those lonesome blues at bayYou think you're winning but it's hard to saySometimes.

(repeat bridge and first verse) [<]

If I'm laden at all, I'm laden with sadnessThat everyone's heart isn't filled with the gladnessOf love for one another.

It's a long long road from which there is no returnWhile we're on the way to there, why not share.And the load doesn't weigh me down at allHe ain't heavy, he's my brother.He's my brotherHe ain't heavy, he's my brother... [...]

Hey ThereRichard Adler, Jerry Ross (1954) / The Pajama Game

Hey there, you with the stars in your eyes,Love never made a fool of you. You used to be too wise.Hey there, you on that high-flying cloud,Though he won’t throw a crumb to you, You think some day he’ll come to you.

Better forget him, him with his nose in the air.He's got you dancing on a string. Break it and he won’t care.

Won’t you take this advice I hand you like a mother?Or are you not seeing things too clear?Are you too much in love to hear?Is it all goin_ in one ear and out the other?And out the other? [<]

Another summer day has come and gone awayIn Paris and Rome, but I wanna go home.Maybe surrounded by a million people IStill feel all alone, I just wanna go homeOh, I miss you, you know.

And I’ve been keeping all the lettersThat I wrote to youEach one a line or two“I’m fine baby, how are you?”Well I would send them but I know That it’s just not enoughMy words were cold and flatAnd you deserve more than that

Another aeroplane, another sunny placeI’m lucky, I know, but I wanna go homI’ve got to go home

Let me go homeI’m just too far from where you areI wanna come home

And I feel just like I’m living someone else’s lifeIt’s like I just stepped outsideWhen everything was going rightAnd I know just why you could notCome along with me'Cause this was not your dreamBut you always believed in me

Another winter day has come and gone awayIn even Paris and Rome, and I wanna go homeLet me go homeAnd I’m surrounded bya million people IStill feel all alone, oh let me go homeOh, I miss you, you know

Let me go home, I’ve had my run, Baby I’m done, I gotta go home.Let me go home, it’ll all be alright, I’ll be home tonight, I’m coming back home [<]

! home, home on the range! where the deer and the antelope play! where seldom is heard a discouraging word! and the skies are not cloudy all day

! homeward bound, I wish I was! homeward bound! home, where my thoughts escapin’ ! home, where my music's playin'! home, where my love lies waitin' ! silently for me

Every day's an endless stream Of cigarettes and magazinesAnd each town looks the same to me,The movies and the factories

And every stranger's face I seeReminds me that I long to be...! (CHORUS)

I can find a lover, I can find a friendI can have security until the bitter endAnyone can comfort me with promises againI know, I know

When I'm deep inside of me don't be too concernedI won't ask for nothin' while I'm goneWhen I want sincerity, tell me where else can I turn'Cause you're the one that I depend upon...! (CHORUS) [<]

A Horse With No NameDewey Bunnell (1971) / America

On the first part of the journeyI was looking at all the lifeThere were plants and birds and rocks and thingsThere was sand and hills and ringsThe first thing I met was a fly with a buzzAnd the sky with no cloudsThe heat was hot and the ground was dryBut the air was full of sound

! i’ve been through the desert ! on a horse with no name! it felt good to be out of the rain! in the desert you can remember your name! ‘cause there ain’t no one for to give you no pain! la la la la la...

After two days in the desert sunMy skin began to turn redAfter three days in the desert funI was looking at a river bedAnd the story it told of a river that flowedMade me sad to think it was dead, you see...! (CHORUS)

After nine days I let the horse run free‘Cause the desert had turned to seaThere were plants and birds and rocks and thingsThere was sand and hills and rings

The ocean is a desert with its life undergroundAnd a perfect disguise aboveUnder the cities lies a heart made of groundBut the humans will give no love, you see...! (CHORUS) [...]

House Of The Rising SunTraditional / The Animals

There is a house in New Orleans,They call the Rising Sun,And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy,And God I know I'm one.

My mother was a tailor, She sewed my new bluejeansMy father was a gamblin man,Down in New Orleans.

Now the only thing a gambler needs,Is a suitcase and trunk,And the only time he's satisfied,Is when he's on a drunk.

Oh mother tell your children,Not to do what I have done:To spend your life in sin and misery,In the house of the Rising Sun.

Well I got one foot on the platform,The other foot on the train,I'm going back to New Orleans,To wear that ball and chain.

I Don’t Know How To Love HimAndrew Lloyd Webber, Tim Rice (1970) / Jesus Christ Superstar

I don't know how to love him,What to do, how to move him.I've been changed, yes, really changed.In these past few days when I've seen myselfI seem like someone else.

I don't know how to take thisI don't see why he moves me.He's a man, he's just a man.And I've had so many men beforeIn very many ways. He's just one more

Should I bring him down? Should I scream and shout?Should I speak of love - let my feelings out?I never thought I'd come to thisWhat's it all about?

Don't you think it's rather funnyI should be in this position?I'm the one who's always beenSo calm, so cool, no lover's foolRunning every show. He scares me so.

I never thought I'd come to this -What's it all about?

Yet, if he said he loved meI'd be lost, I'd be frightened.I couldn't cope, just couldn't cope.I'd turn my head, I'd back away,I wouldn't want to know. He scares me so.I want him so. I love him so. [<]

! tell me why - I don’t like Mondays (3x)! i wanna shot the whole day down

The Telex machine is kept so clean And it types to a waiting worldAnd mother feels so shockedFather’s world is rockedAnd their thoughts turn to their own little girlSweet 16 ain’t that peachy keenNow that ain’t so neat to admit defeatThey can see no reasons 'cos there are no reasonsWhat reasons do you need? Oh oh oh oh...! (CHORUS)

And all the playing's stopped in the playground nowShe wants to play with the toys a whileAnd school's out early and soon we'll be learningAnd the lesson today is how to die. And thenThe bullhorn crackles and the captain tacklesWith the problems of the how's and why'sAnd he can see no reasons 'cos there are no reasonsWhat reason do you need to die, die? Oh Oh Oh...!

You want me to act like we've never kissedYou want me to forget, pretend we've never metAnd I try, and I try, but I haven't yetYou walk by and I fall to pieces.

I fall to pieces each time someone speaks your nameI fall to pieces, time only adds to the blame

If You Could Read My MindGordon Lightfoot (1970)

If you could read my mind, love,What a tale my thoughts could tell.Just like an old time movie,'Bout a ghost from a wishing well.In a castle dark or a fortress strong,With chains upon my feet.You know that ghost is me.And I will never be set freeAs long as I'm a ghost that you can't see.

If I could read your mind, love,What a tale your thoughts could tell.Just like a paperback novel,The kind the drugstores sell.When you reached the part where the heartaches come,The hero would be me.But heroes often fail,And you won't read that book againBecause the ending's just too hard to take!

I'd walk away like a movie starWho gets burned in a three way script.Enter number two:A movie queen to play the sceneOf bringing all the good things out in me.But for now, love, let's be real;I never thought I could act this wayAnd I've got to say that I just don't get it.I don't know where we went wrong,But the feeling's goneAnd I just can't get it back.

If you could read my mind, love,What a tale my thoughts could tell.Just like an old time movie,'Bout a ghost from a wishing well.In a castle dark or a fortress strong.With chains upon my feet.But stories always end,And if you read between the lines,You'll know that I'm just tryin' to understandThe feelings that you lack.

I never thought I could feel this wayAnd I've got to say that I just don't get it.I don't know where we went wrong,But the feelin's goneAnd I just can't get it back. [<]

In My LifeJohn Lennon, Paul McCartney (1965) / The Beatles

There are places I'll rememberAll my life though some have changedSome forever not for betterSome have gone and some remain

All these places had their momentsWith lovers and friends I still can recallSome are dead and some are livingIn my life I've loved them all

86

But of all these friends and loversThere is no one compares with youAnd these memories lose their meaningWhen I think of love as something new

(instrumental)

Though I know I'll never lose affectionFor people and things that went beforeI know I'll often stop and think about themIn my life I love you more

(repeat from “Though I...”)In my life I love you more. [<]

In My PlaceGuy Berryman, Jonny Buckland, Will Champion, Chris Martin (2002) / Coldplay

In my place in my place Were lines that I couldn't change,I was lost, oh yeah,

I was lost, I was lost, Crossed lines I shouldn't have crossed, I was lost, oh yeah.

Yeah, how long must you wait for it? Yeah how long must you pay for it? Yeah how long must you wait for it? Oh, for it.

I was scared, I was scared,Tired and under-prepared,But I'll wait for it.

And if you go, if you go, Don't leave me down here on my own, And I'll wait for it,

(CHORUS)

Singing please, please, please, Come back and sing to me, To me, me. Come on and sing itLoud, now, now, Come on and sing it out, To me, me. Come back and sing it.

In my place, in my place Were lines that I couldn't change. I was lost, oh yeah, Oh yeah. [<]

Into The MysticVan Morrison (1970)

We were born before the windAlso younger than the sunEre the bonnie boat was won As we sailed into the mystic

Hark, now hear the sailors crySmell the sea and feel the skyLet your soul and spirit fly into the mystic

And when that fog horn blows I will be coming homeAnd when the fog horn blows I want to hear it - I don't have to fear it

And I want to rock your gypsy soulJust like way back in the days of oldAnd magnificently we will float into the mystic

It Might As Well Be SpringRichard Rogers, Oscar Hammerstein II (1945) / State Fair

I'm as restless as a willow in a windstormI'm as jumpy as puppet on a stringI'd say that I had spring feverBut I know it isn't spring

I am starry eyed and vaguely discontentedLike a nightingale without a song to singO why should I have spring feverWhen it isn't even spring

I keep wishing I were someone elseWalking down a strange new streetAnd hearing words that I've never headFrom a girl I've yet to meet

I'm as busy as spider spinning daydreamsI'm as giddy as a baby on a swingI haven't seen a crocus or a rosebudOr a robin on the wingBut I feel so gay in a melancholy wayThat it might as well be springIt might as well be Spring [<]

It’s Not UnusualLes Reed, Gordon Mills (1965) / Tom Jones

It's not unusual to be loved by anyoneIt's not unusual to have fun with anyoneBut when I see you hanging about with anyoneIt's not unusual to see me cry, oh I wanna' die

It's not unusual to go out at any timeBut when I see you out and about it's such a crimeIf you should ever want to be loved by anyone,It's not unusual it happens every day

No matter what you sayYou find it happens all the time. Love will never doWhat you want it toWhy can't this crazy love be mine?

It's not unusual to be mad with anyoneIt's not unusual to be sad with anyoneBut if I ever find that you've changed at anytimeIt's not unusual To find out that I'm in love with you Whoa whoa .... [...]

It’s Only A Paper Moon Harold Arlen, Billy Rose, E.Y Harburg (1933) / Nat King Cole

Say it is only a paper moonHanging over a cardboard sea,But it wouldn't be make believeIf you believed in me.

Yes It is only a canvas skySailing over a muslin tree,But it wouldn't be make believe If you believed in me.

Without your love, it's a honky-tonk parade.Without your love, it's a melody playedIn a penny arcade.

It's a Barnum and Bailey world,Just as phony as it can be,But it wouldn't be make believeIf you believed in me.

It’s Still Rock-n-Roll To MeBilly Joel (1980)

What's the matter with the clothes I'm wearing?Can't you tell that your tie's too wide?Maybe I should buy some old tab collars?Welcome back to the age of jive.Where have you been hidin' out lately, honey?You can't dress trashy till you spend a lot of moneyEverybody's talkin' 'bout the new soundFunny, but it's still rock and roll to me

What's the matter with the car I'm driving?Can't you tell that it's out of style?Should I get a set of while wall tires?Are you gonna cruise the miracle mile?Nowadays you can't be too sentimentalYour best bet's a true baby blue Continental.Hot funk, cool punk, even if it's old junkIt's still rock and roll to me

Oh, it doesn't matter what they say in the papers'Cause it's always been the same old scene.There's a new band in townBut you can't get the soundFrom a story in a magazine...Aimed at your average teen.

How about a pair of pink sidewindersAnd a bright orange pair of pants?You could really be a Beau Brummel babyIf you just give it half a chance.Don't waste your money on a new set of speakers,You get more mileage from a cheap pair of sneakers.Next phase, new wave, dance craze, anywaysIt's still rock and roll to me

(instrumental bridge)

90

What's the matter with the crowd I'm seeing?Don't you know that they're out of touch?Should I try to be a straight `A' student?If you are then you think too much.Don't you know about the new fashion honey?All you need are looks and a whole lotta money.It's the next phase, new wave, dance craze, anyways, it's still rock and roll to me

Everybody's talkin' 'bout the new soundFunny, but it's still rock and roll to me. [<]

It’s Too LateCarole King (1971)

Stayed in bed all morning just to pass the timeThere's something wrong here,There can be no denyingOne of us is changing,Or maybe we've stopped trying

! and it's too late, baby, now it's too late! though we really did try to make it! something inside has died and I can't hide! and I just can't fake it

It used to be so easy living here with youYou were light and breezyAnd I knew just what to doNow you look so unhappy,And I feel like a fool...! (CHORUS)

(instrumental bridge)

There'll be good times again for me and youBut we just can't stay together,Don't you feel it tooStill I'm glad for what we had, And how I once loved you...! (CHORUS)

It’s too late, babyIt’s too late, now darlingIt;s too late. [<]

Jamaica FarewellIrving Burgie (1958) / Harry Belafonte

Don't go trying some new fashionDon't change the color of your hairYou always have my unspoken passionAlthough I might not seem to care

I don't want clever conversationI never want to work that hardI just want someone that I can talk toI want you just the way you are.

I need to know that you will always beThe same old someone that I knewAh what will it take 'til you believe in meThe way that I believe in you.

I said I love you, and that's foreverAnd this I promise from the heartI could not love you any betterI love you just the way you are.

I pushed her away, I walked to the doorI fell to the floor, I got down on my kneesThen I looked at her and she at me

That's the way that I want it to stayI always want it to be that way For my Lola, L-L-LolaGirls will be boys and boys will be girlsIt's a mixed up muddled up, shook up worldExcept for Lola, L-L-Lola

Well, I left home just a week beforeAnd I'd never ever kissed a woman beforeBut Lola smiled and took me by the handAnd said, "Dear boy, I'm gonna make you a man"

Well, I'm not the world's most masculine manBut I know what I am and I'm glad I'm a manAnd so is Lola, L-L-Lola, L-L-LolaLola, L-L-Lola, L-L-Lola [...]

Mariner’s RevengeColin Meloy (2005) / The Decemberists

We are two mariners, our ship's sole survivorsIn this belly of a whaleIts ribs are ceiling beams, its guts are carpetingI guess we have some time to kill

You may not remember me, I was a child of threeAnd you, a lad of eighteenBut, I remember you, and I will relate to youHow our histories interweave.

At the time you were a rake and a roustaboutSpending all your moneyOn the whores and hounds (oh, oh)

You had a charming air, so cheap and debonairMy widowed mother found so sweetAnd so she took you in, her sheets still warm with himNow filled with filth and foul disease.

As time wore onYou proved a debt-ridden drunken messLeaving my mother A poor consumptive wretch (oh, oh)

And then you disappeared, your gambling arrearsThe only thing you left behindAnd then the magistrate reclaimed our small estateAnd my poor mother lost her mind.

Then, one day in spring My dear sweet mother diedBut, before she didI took her hand as she, dying, cried (oh, oh)

"Find him, bind him, tie him to a poleAnd break his fingers to splintersDrag him to a hole until he wakes up nakedClawing at the ceiling of his grave"

It took me fifteen years to swallow all my tearsAmong the urchins in the streetUntil a priory took pity and hired meTo keep their vestry nice and neat

But, never once in the employ of these holy menDid I ever, once turn my mindFrom the thought of revenge (oh, oh)

One night I overheard the prior exchanging wordsWith a penitent whaler from the sea.The captain of his ship who matched you toe to tipWas known for wanton cruelty.

The following day I shipped to sea with a privateerAnd in the whistle of the wind I could almost hear (oh, oh)

"Find him, bind him, tie him to a poleAnd break his fingers to splintersDrag him to a hole until he wakes up nakedClawing at the ceiling of his grave...

....There is one thing I must say to youAs you sail across the seaAlways, your mother will watch over youAs you avenge this wicked deed"

(instrumental 3/4, slower tempo, 3 verses)

And then, that fateful nightWe had you in our sightAfter twenty months at seaYour starboard flank abeamI was getting my muskets cleanWhen came this rumbling from beneath

The ocean shook, the sky went black and the captain quailedAnd before us grew the angry jaws of a giant whale (oh..)

Don't know how I survivedThe crew all was chewed aliveI must have slipped between his teethBut, oh, what providence, What divine intelligenceThat you should survive as well as meIt gives my heart great joy to see your eyes fill with fearSo lean in close and I will whisper the last words you'll hear (oh, oh) [<]

Feel I'm goin' back to Massachusetts,Something's telling me I must go home.And the lights all went down in MassachusettsThe day I left her standing on her own.

Tried to hitch a ride to San Francisco,Gotta do the things I wanna do.And the lights all went down in MassachusettsThey brought me back to see my way with you.

Me And Bobby McGeeKris Kristofferson, Fred Foster (1969) / Roger Miller

Busted flat in Baton Rouge, waiting for a trainAnd I's feeling nearly as faded as my jeans.Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rainedIt rode us all the way to New Orleans.

I pulled my harpoon out of my dirty red bandanaI was playing soft while Bobby sang the blues.Windshield wipers slapping time, I was holding Bobby's hand in mine,We sang every song that driver knew.

! Freedom's just another word for! Nothing left to lose! Nothing don't mean nothing honey ! if it ain't free, now now.! And feeling good was easy, Lord, !! When he sang the blues,! You know feeling good ! Was good enough for me! Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee.

From the Kentucky coal mines to the California sunHey, Bobby shared the secrets of my soul.Through all kinds of weather, through everything we done,Hey Bobby baby kept me from the cold.

One day up near Salinas,I let him slip away,He's looking for that home and I hope he finds itBut I'd trade all of my tomorrows for just one yesterdayTo be holding Bobby's body next to mine....! (CHORUS) [...]

MemoryAndrew Lloyd Webber, Trevor Nunn (1981) / Cats

Daylight, see the dew on the sunflowerAnd a rose that is fading, roses whither awayLike the sunflowerI yearn to turn my face to the dawnI am waiting for the day . . .

Midnight, not a sound from the pavementHas the moon lost her memory?She is smiling aloneIn the lamplightThe withered leaves collect at my feetAnd the wind begins to moan

Memory, all alone in the moonlightI can smile at the old days, I was beautiful thenI remember the time I knew what happiness wasLet the memory live again

Every streetlamp seems to beatA fatalistic warningSomeone mutters and the streetlamp guttersAnd soon it will be morning

Daylight, I must wait for the sunriseI must think of a new life and I musn't give inWhen the dawn comes, tonight will be a memory tooAnd a new day will begin

Burnt out ends of smoky daysThe stale cold smell of morningThe streetlamp dies, another night is overAnother day is dawning

Touch me, it's so easy to leave meAll alone with the memoryOf my days in the sunIf you touch me, you'll understand what happiness is Look, a new day has begun [<]

More Than WordsNuno Bettencourt, Gary Cherone (1991) / Extreme

Saying "I love you"Is not the words I want to hear from youIt's not that I want youNot to say, but if you only knew how easyIt would be to show me how you feel

More than wordsIs all you have to do to make it realThen you wouldn't have to say That you love me'Cause I'd already know

What would you do if my heart was torn in twoMore than words to show you feelThat your love for me is real

What would you say if I took those words awayThen you couldn't make things newJust by saying "I love you"More than words...

Now but I've tried to talk to youAnd make you understand

All you have to do is close your eyesAnd just reach out your handsAnd touch meHold me close, don't ever let me go

More than wordsIs all I ever needed you to showThen you wouldn't have to say That you love me'Cause I'd already know

What would you do if my heart was torn in twoMore than words to show you feelThat your love for me is real

What would you say if I took those words awayWhen you couldn't make things newJust by saying "I love you"More than words.... [<]

Morning Has BrokenEleanor Farjeon (1931) to a Gaelic tune

Morning has broken, like the first morningblackbird has spoken, like the first birdPraise for the singing, praise for the morningPraise for the springing fresh from the world

Sweet the rain's new fall, sunlit from heavenLike the first dewfall, on the first grassPraise for the sweetness of the wet gardenSprung in completeness where his feet pass

Mine is the sunlight, mine is the morningBorn of the one light, Eden saw playPraise with elation, praise every morningGod's recreation of the new day

Mr. BojanglesJerry Jeff Walker (1968)

I knew a man, Bojangles, and he'd dance for youIn worn out shoesSilver hair and ragged shirt and baggy pants,He did the old soft shoeHe'd jump so high, he'd jump so high, Then he’d lightly touch down.

I met him in a cell in New Orleans, I was Down and outHe looked to me to be the eyes of ageAs the smoke ran outHe talked of life, he talked of life, Life clipped his heels instead

He said the name’s Bojangles and he danced a lickAcross the cellHe grabbed his pants to spread his stanceHe jumped so high And then he clicked his heelsHe let go a laugh, he let go a laugh, Shook back his clothes all around

! Mr. Bojangles (3x)! Dance.

He danced for those at minstrel shows And county fairsThroughout the southHe spoke with tears of 15 years How his dog and him Travelled aboutHis dog up and died, he up and died, After 20 years he still grieves.

He said I dance now at every chance At honky-tonksFor drinks and tipsBut most the time I spend behind These county barsCause I drinks a bitHe shook his head, And as he shook his head, I heard someone ask him, please,...! (CHORUS) [<]

! Hey Mr Tambourine Man, play a song for me! I'm not sleepy ! And there is no place I'm going to! Hey Mr Tambourine Man, play a song for me! In the jingle jangle morning ! I'll come followin' you.

Though I know that evenin's empire Has returned into sandVanished from my handLeft me blindly here to stand But still not sleeping, my weariness amazes me, I'm branded on my feetI have no one to meetAnd the ancient empty street's too dead for dreaming....! (CHORUS)

Take me on a trip upon Your magic swirlin' shipMy senses have been stripped, My hands can't feel to gripMy toes too numb to step, Wait only for my boot heels to be wanderin'I'm ready to go anywhere, I'm ready for to fadeInto my own parade, Cast your dancing spell my way, I promise to go under it....! (CHORUS)

Though you might hear laughin', spinnin'Swingin' madly across the sunIt's not aimed at anyone, It's just escapin' on the runAnd but for the sky there are no fences facin'And if you hear vague traces of Skippin' reels of rhymeTo your tambourine in time, It's just a ragged clown behindI wouldn't pay it any mind, It's just a shadow you're Seein' that he's chasing....! (CHORUS)

Then take me disappearin' through the Smoke rings of my mindDown the foggy ruins of time, Far past the frozen leavesThe haunted, frightened trees, Out to the windy beachFar from the twisted reach of crazy sorrowYes, to dance beneath the diamond sky With one hand waving freeSilhouetted by the sea, Circled by the circus sandsWith all memory and fate Driven deep beneath the wavesLet me forget about today until tomorrow....! (CHORUS) [<]

Mull Of KintyrePaul McCartney, Denny Laine (1977) / Wings

! Mull of Kintyre, ! Oh mist rolling in from the sea! My desire is always to be here! Oh Mull of Kintyre

Far have I travelled and much have I seenDark distant mountains with valleys of greenPast painted deserts, the sun sets on fireAs he carries me home to the Mull of Kintyre...! (CHORUS)

Sweep through the heather like deer in the glenCarry me back to the days I knew thenNights when we sang like a heavenly choirOf the life and the times of the Mull of Kintyre...! (CHORUS)

Smiles in the sunshine and tears in the rainStill take me back where my mem'ries remainFlickering embers grow higher and higherAs they carry me back to the Mull of Kintyre...! (CHORUS) [<]

My Favorite ThingsRichard Rogers, Oscar Hammerstein II (1959) / The Sound Of Music

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittensBright copper kettles and warm woolen mittensBrown paper packages tied up with stringsThese are a few of my favorite things

Cream colored ponies and crisp apple streudelsDoorbells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodlesWild geese that fly with the moon on their wingsThese are a few of my favorite things

Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashesSnowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashesSilver white winters that melt into springsThese are a few of my favorite things

When the dog bitesWhen the bee stingsWhen I'm feeling sadI simply remember my favorite thingsAnd then I don't feel so bad [<]

I hope that the days come easy And the moments pass slow,And each road leads you where you want to go,And if you're faced with a choice, And you have to choose,I hope you choose the one That means the most to you.And if one door opens to another door closed,I hope you keep on walkin' Till you find the window,If it's cold outside, Show the world the warmth of your smile,

But more than anything, More than anything,

! My wish, for you, is that this life ! Becomes all that you want it to,! Your dreams stay big, and your ! Worries stay small,! You never need to carry more than you can hold! And while you're out there getting ! Where you're getting to,! I hope you know somebody loves you, ! And wants the same things too,! Yeah, this, is my wish.

I hope you never look back, But you never forget,All the ones who love you in the places you left,I hope you always forgive, And you never regret,And you help somebody every chance you get,Oh, you find your grace in every mistake,And you always give more than you take.But more than anything, more than anything,...!

The Night They Drove Old Dixie DownRobbie Robertson (1969) / The Band

Virgil Caine is the name, And I served on the Danville train,'Til Stoneman's cavalry came And tore up the tracks again.In the winter of '65, we were hungry, Just barely alive.By May the tenth, Richmond had fell, It's a time I remember, oh so well,

Nights In White SatinJustin Hayward (1967) / The Moody Blues

Nights in white satin, never reaching the end,Letters I've written, never meaning to send.Beauty I'd always missed with these eyes before.Just what the truth is, I can't say anymore.

'Cos I love you, yes I love you, Oh how I love you.

Gazing at people, some hand in hand,Just what I'm going through They can't understand.Some try to tell me thoughts they cannot defendJust what you want to be, you will be in the end.

And I love you, yes I love you,Oh how I love you, oh how I love you.

Nights in white satin, never reaching the end,Letters I've written, never meaning to send.Beauty I've always missed with these eyes beforeJust what the truth is, I can't say anymore.

There’s a bright golden haze on the meadow,There’s a bright golden haze on the meadow,The corn is as high as an elephants eye,An’ it looks like it’s climbing clear up in the sky.

! Oh, What a beautiful mornin’,! Oh, What a beautiful day.! I got a beautiful feelin’! Ev’erything’s goin’ my way.

All the cattle are standin’ like statues,All the cattle are standin’ like statues,They don’t turn their heads as they see me ride byBut a little brown mav’rick is winkin’her eye....! (CHORUS)

There’s an ol’ man called the MississippiThat’s the old man that I’d like to beWhat does he care that the world’s got troublesWhat does he care if the land ain’t free.

Ol' man river, that ol' man riverHe must know somethin’ but don't say nothin’He just keeps rollin', he keeps on rollin' along.

He don't plant taters, he don't plant cotton,And them that plants 'em is soon forgotten,But ol'man river, he just keeps rollin' along.

I gets weary and sick of tryin'I’m tired of livin' and scared of dyin',But ol' man river, he just keeps rolling' along.

Colored folks work on the Mississippi,Colored folks work while de white folks play,Pullin' dose boats from de dawn to sunset,Gittin' no rest till de judgement day.

Don't look up an' don't look down,You don' dast make de white boss frown.Bend your knees an'bow your head,An' pull date rope until you' dead.

Let me go 'way from the Mississippi,Let me go 'way from de white man boss;Show me dat stream called de river Jordan,Dat's de ol' stream dat I long to cross.

On The Street Where You LiveFrederick Lowe, Alan Jay Lerner (1956) / My Fair Lady

I have often walked down this street before; But the pavement always stayed Beneath my feet before. All at once am I several stories high. Knowing I'm on the street where you live. Are there lilac trees in the heart of town? Can you hear a lark in any other part of town? Does enchantment pour out of ev'ry door? No, it's just on the street where you live!

And oh! The towering feeling Just to know somehow you are near. The overpowering feeling That any second you may suddenly appear!

People stop and stare. They don't bother me. For there's no where else on earth That I would rather be. Let the time go by, I won't care if I Can be here on the street where you live. [<]

On The Sunny Side Of The StreetJimmy McHugh, Dorothy Fields (1930) / Lew Leslie’s International Review

Grab your coat and get your hat Leave your worries on the doorstepLife can be so sweet on the sunny side of the street

Can't you hear the pitter-patAnd that happy tune is your stepLife can be complete on the sunny side of the street

(Bridge:)I used to walk in the shade With my blues on paradeBut I'm not afraid. This rover's crossed over

If I never had a cent I'd be rich as RockefellerGold dust at my feet on the sunny side of the street

One Hundred YearsJohn Ondrasik (2004) / Five For Fighting

I'm 15 for a moment, caught in between 10 and 20And I'm just dreaming, Counting the ways to where you are.

I'm 22 for a moment, (S)he feels better than ever and we're on fire, Making our way back from Mars.

15 there's still time for you, Time to buy and time to lose15, there's never a wish better than thisWhen you only got a hundred years to live

I'm 33 for a moment, And still the one, but you see “I'm” a “they”A kid on the way, babe, a family on my mind

I'm 45 for a moment, The sea is high and I'm heading into a crisis, Chasing the years of my life.

15 there's still time for you, Time to buy and time to lose yourself Within a morning star15, I'm all right with you15, there's never a wish better than thisWhen you only got a hundred years to live

Half-time goes by, suddenly you're wiseAnother blink of an eye, 67 is goneThe sun is getting high, we're moving on.

I'm 99 for a moment, dying for just another momentAnd I'm just dreaming, Counting the ways to where you are.

15 there's still time for you, 22 I feel it too33 you're on your way, every day's a new day ooh

15 there's still time for youTime to buy and time to chooseHey 15, there's never a wish better than thisWhen you only got 100 years to live. [<]

Over The RainbowHarold Arlen, E.Y.Harburg (1939) / The Wizard Of Oz

When all the world is a hopeless jumbleAnd the raindrops tumble all aroundHeaven opens a magic laneWhen all the clouds darken up the skywayThere’s a rainbow highway to be foundLeading from your window paneTo a place behind the sunJust a step beyond the rain...

Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high,There's a land that I heard of once in a lullaby.Somewhere over the rainbow skies are blue,And the dreams that you dare to dreamReally do come true.

Someday I'll wish upon a starAnd wake up where the clouds are farBehind me.Where troubles melt like lemon dropsAway above the chimney topsThat's where you'll find me.

Somewhere over the rainbow bluebirds fly.Birds fly over the rainbow.Why then, oh why can't I?

If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbowWhy, oh why can't I? [<]

Paint It BlackMick Jagger, Keith Richards (1966) / The Rolling Stones

I see a red door and I want it painted blackNo colors anymore I want them to turn blackI see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothesI have to turn my head until my darkness goes

I see a line of cars and they're all painted blackWith flowers and my love both never to come backI see people turn their heads and quickly look awayLike a new born baby it just happens every day

I look inside myself and see my heart is blackI see my red door and must have it painted blackMaybe then I'll fade away and not have to face the factsIt's not easy facin' up when your whole world is black

No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blueI could not foresee this thing happening to youIf I look hard enough into the settin' sunMy love will laugh with me before the mornin' comes

Penny LaneJohn Lennon, Paul McCartney (1967) / The Beatles

Penny Lane There is a barber showing photographsOf every head he's had the pleasure to knowAnd all the people that come and goStop and say hello

On the corner is a banker with a motorcarThe little children laugh at him behind his backAnd the banker never wears a macIn the pouring rain...Very strange

! Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes! There beneath the blue suburban skies! I sit, and meanwhile back

In Penny Lane There is a fireman with an hourglassAnd in his pocket is a portrait of the Queen.He likes to keep his fire engine cleanIt's a clean machine

(instrumental)

Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyesFour of fish and finger piesIn summer, meanwhile back

Behind the shelter in the middle of a roundaboutA pretty nurse is selling poppies from a trayAnd though she feels as if she's in a playShe is anyway

Penny Lane the barber shaves another customerWe see the banker sitting waiting for a trimThen the fireman rushes inFrom the pouring rain...Very strange

Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyesThere beneath the blue suburban skiesI sit, and meanwhile backPenny Lane is in my ears and in my eyesThere beneath the blue suburban skies...Penny Lane. [<]

A dragon lives forever But not so little boysPainted wings and giants' rings Make way for other toys.One grey night it happened, Jackie Paper came no moreAnd Puff that mighty dragon, He ceased his fearless roar.

His head was bent in sorrow, Green scales fell like rain,Puff no longer went to play Along the cherry laneWithout his lifelong friend, Puff could not be brave,So Puff that mighty dragon sadly Slipped into his cave. Oh! ...! (CHORUS) [<]

The Rain SongJimmy Page, Robert Plant (1973) / Led Zeppelin

This is the springtime of my lovingThe second season I am to know You are the sunlight in my growingSo little warmth I've felt before. It isn't hard to feel me glowingI watched the fire that grew so low.

It is the summer of my smilesFlee from me Keepers of the Gloom. Speak to me only with your eyes. It is to you I give this tune. Ain't so hard to recognizeThese things are clear to all from time to time.

Talk Talk - I've felt the coldness of my winter I never thought it would ever go. I cursed the gloom that set upon us... But I know that I love you so

These are the seasons of emotion And like the winds they rise and fall This is the wonder of devotionI see the torch we all must hold. This is the mystery of the quotientUpon us all a little rain must fall. [<]

The Rainbow ConnectionPaul Williams, Kenneth Ascher (1979) / The Muppet Movie

Why are there so many songs about rainbowsAnd what's on the other side?Rainbows are visions, but only illusions,And rainbows have nothing to hide.

So we've been told and some choose to believe itI know they're wrong, wait and see.Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection,The lovers, the dreamers and me.

Who said that every wish would be heard and answeredWhen wished on the morning star?Somebody thought of that and someone believed itAnd look what it's done so far.

What's so amazing that keeps us stargazing?And what do we think we might see?Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection,The lovers, the dreamers and me.

All of us under its spell,we know that it's probably magic....

Have you been half asleepAnd have you heard voices?I've heard them calling my name.Is this the sweet sound that calls the young sailors?The voice might be one and the same.

I've heard it too many times to ignore it.It's something that I'm supposed to be.Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection,the lovers, the dreamers and me. [<]

Rainy Days And MondaysRoger Nichols, Paul Williams (1971) / The Carpenters

Talkin' to myself and feelin' oldSometimes I'd like to quitNothing ever seems to fitHangin' around, nothing to do but frownRainy Days and Mondays always get me down.

What I've got they used to call the bluesNothin' is really wrong, feelin' like I don't belongWalkin' around, some kind of lonely clownRainy Days and Mondays always get me down.

Funny but it seems I always wind up here with youNice to know somebody loves meFunny but it seems That it's the only thing to doRun and find the one who loves me.

What I feel has come and gone beforeNo need to talk it out, we know what it's all aboutHangin' around, nothing to do but frownRainy Days and Mondays always get me down. [<]

RasputinFrank Farian, Fred Jay, George Reyam (1977) / Boney M

There lived a certain man in Russia long agoHe was big and strong, in his eyes a flaming glowMost people looked at him with terror and with fearBut to Moscow chicks he was such a lovely dearHe could preach the bible like a preacherFull of ecstasy and fireBut he also was the kind of teacherWomen would desire

Ra Ra Rasputin, lover of the Russian queenThere was a cat that really was goneRa RA Rasputin, Russia's greatest love machineIt was a shame how he carried on

He ruled the Russian land and never mind the czarBut the Kasachok he danced really wunderbarIn all affairs of state he was the man to pleaseBut he was real great when he had a girl to squeezeFor the queen he was no wheeler dealerThough she'd heard the things he'd doneShe believed he was a holy healerWho would heal her son.

Ra Ra Rasputin, lover of the Russian queenThere was a cat that really was goneRa RA Rasputin, Russia's greatest love machineIt was a shame how he carried on

(But when his drinking and lusting and his hunger for power became known to more and more people, the demands to do something about this outrageous man became louder and louder.)

"This man's just got to go!" declared his enemiesBut the ladies begged "Don't you try to do it, please"No doubt this Rasputin had lots of hidden charmsThough he was a brute they just fell into his armsThen one night some men of higher standingSet a trap, they're not to blame"Come to visit us" they kept demandingAnd he really came

Ra Ra Rasputin, lover of the Russian queenThey put some poison into his wineRa Ra Rasputin Russia's greatest love machineHe drank it all and said "I feel fine"

Ra Ra Rasputin, lover of the Russian queenThey didn't quit, they wanted his headRa Ra Rasputin, Russia's greatest love machineAnd so they shot him till he was dead

(Oh, those Russians...) [<]

Rhinestone CowboyLarry Weiss (1975) / Glen Campbell

I've been walking these streets so longSinging the same old songI know every crack in these dirty sidewalks of BroadwayWhere hustle is the name of the gameAnd nice guys get washed away like the snow and the rainThere's been a load of compromisingOn the road to my horizonBut I'm gonna be where the lights are shining on me

! Like a rhinestone cowboy! Riding out on a horse ! In a star spangled rodeo! Like a rhinestone cowboy! Getting cards and letters! From people I don't even know! And offers coming over the phone

Well I really don't mind the rainAnd a smile can hide all the painBut you're down when you're riding a trainThat's taking the long wayAnd I dream of the thing I'll doWith a subway token and a dollar tucked inside my shoeThere's been a load of compromisingOn the road to my horizonBut I'm gonna be where the lights are shining on me...!

The River Of DreamsBilly Joel (1993)

In the middle of the nightI go walking in my sleepFrom the mountains of faithTo the river so deepI must be lookin' for somethingSomething sacred i lostBut the river is wideAnd it's too hard to cross

Even though I know the river is wide, I walk Down every evening and stand on the shoreI try to cross to the opposite side, so I can Finally find what I've been looking for.

In the middle of the nightI go walking in my sleepThrough the valley of fearTo a river so deepI've been searching for somethingTaken out of my soulSomething I'd never loseSomething somebody stole.

I don't know why I go walking at night, but nowI'm tired and I don't want to walk anymoreI hope it doesn't take the rest of my life until IFind what it is I've been looking for

In the middle of the nightI go walking in my sleepThrough the jungle of doubtTo the river so deepI know I'm searching for somethingSomething so undefinedThat it can only be seenBy the eyes of the blindIn the middle of the night

(instrumental verse)

I’m not sure about a life after thisGod knows I've never been a spiritual manBaptized by the fire, I wade into the riverThat is runnin' through the promised land

In the middle of the nightI go walking in my sleepThrough the desert of truthTo the river so deepWe all end in the oceanWe all start in the streamsWe're all carried alongBy the river of dreamsIn the middle of the night... woooo .... [...]

! And I think it's gonna be a long long time! Till touch down brings me round ! Again to find! I'm not the man they think I am at home! Oh no no no I'm a rocket man! Rocket man burning out his fuse! Up here alone.

Mars ain't the kind of place to raise your kidsIn fact it's cold as hellAnd there's no one there to raise them if you did

And all this science I don't understandIt's just my job five days a weekA rocket man, a rocket man...! (CHORUS) (2x)

Rolling In The DeepAdele, Paul Epworth (2010)

There's a fire starting in my heartReaching a fever pitch, And it's bringing me out the darkFinally I can see you crystal clear

Go ahead and sell me out And I'll lay your ship bareSee how I'll leave with every piece of youDon't underestimate the things that I will do

There's a fire starting in my heartReaching a fever pitchAnd it's bringing me out the dark

(You're gonna wish you ! ! never had met me)! And you played it to the beat! ! (Tears are gonna fall, ! ! rolling in the deep)

Think of me in the depths of your despairMaking a home down thereAs mine sure won't be shared

Throw your soul through every open doorCount your blessings to find what you look for.Turn my sorrow into treasured goldYou pay me back in kind And reap just what you sow.

The RoseAmanda McBroom (1979) / Bette Midler

Some say love, it is a riverthat drowns the tender reed.Some say love, it is a razorthat leaves your soul to bleed.Some say love, it is a hunger,an endless aching need.I say love, it is a flower,and you its only seed.

It's the heart afraid of breakingthat never learns to dance.It's the dream afraid of wakingthat never takes the chance.It's the one who won't be taken,who cannot seem to give,and the soul afraid of dyin'that never learns to live.

When the night has been too lonelyand the road has been to long,and you think that love is onlyfor the lucky and the strong,just remember in the winterfar beneath the bitter snowslies the seed that with the sun's lovein the spring becomes the rose. [<]

Side By SideGus Kahn, Harry M. Woods (1927)

Oh, we ain't got a barrel of money,Maybe we're ragged and funny;But we'll travel along, singin' a song,Side by side.

Don't know what's comin' tomorrow,Maybe it's trouble and sorrow;But we'll travel the road, sharin' our load,Side by Side.Through all kinds of weather,What if the sky should fall; Just as long as we're together, it doesn't matter at all.

When they've all had their quarrels and parted,We'll be the same as we started;Just travelin' along, singin' a song,Side by Side.

Every time that I started to travelAnd when I’m hittin’ the gravelThere’s one pal who’ll be always with meSide by Side

Now it isn’t a gal or a fellaBut I’m all ready to tell yaThat things are ok, just as long as we staySide by Side

Other pals may shake meWhen my money’s all goneBut this pal will make me keep carrying on

And when I see trouble a-comingOn my guitar I start strummingAnd that’s how we lose all of the bluesSide by side. [<]

Singing In The RainArthur Freed, Nacio Herb Brown (1927)

I'm singing in the rain, just singing in the rainWhat a glorious feelin', I'm happy againI'm laughing at clouds so dark up aboveThe sun's in my heart and I'm ready for love

Let the stormy clouds chase everyone from the placeCome on with the rain, I've a smile on my faceI walk down the lane with a happy refrainJust singin', singin' in the rain

Dancin' in the rainDee-ah dee-ah dee-ah...I'm happy again!I'm singin' and dancin' in the rain! [<]

SmileCharlie Chaplin, John Turner, Geoffrey Parsons (1938) / Modern Times

Smile, though your heart is achingSmile, even though it’s breakingWhen there are clouds in the sky, you’ll get by

If you smile through your fear and sorrowSmile and maybe tomorrowYou’ll see the sun come shining through for you

Light up your face with gladnessHide every trace of sadness Although a tear may be ever so near

That’s the time you must keep on tryingSmile what’s the use of cryingYou’ll find that life is still worthwhileIf you’ll just smile. [<]

Smoke Gets In Your EyesJerome Kern, Otto Harbach (1933) / Roberta

They asked me how I knewMy true love was true, ohI of course repliedSomething here inside cannot be denied

They said someday you'll findAll who love are blindOh, when your heart's on fireYou must realize, smoke gets in your eyes

So I chaffed them and I gaily laughedTo think they could doubt my loveYet today my love has flown awayI am without my love

Now laughing friends derideTears I can not hide, ohSo I smile and sayWhen a lovely flame dies, smoke gets in your eyesSmoke gets in your eyes. [<]

Solsbury HillPeter Gabriel (1977)

Climbing up on Solsbury HillI could see the city lightsWind was blowing, time stood stillEagle flew out of the nightHe was something to observeCame in close, I heard a voiceStanding stretching every nerveHad to listen had no choice

I did not believe the information[I] just had to trust imaginationMy heart going boom boom boom"Son," he said "Grab your things,I've come to take you home."

To keep in silence I resignedMy friends would think I was a nutTurning water into wineOpen doors would soon be shutSo I went from day to dayTho' my life was in a rut‘Til I thought of what I'd sayWhich connection I should cut

I was feeling part of the sceneryI walked right out of the machineryMy heart going boom boom boom"Hey" he said "Grab your thingsI've come to take you home."

When Illusion spins her netI'm never where I want to beAnd Liberty she pirouettesWhen I think that I am freeWatched by empty SilhouettesWho close their eyes but still can seeNo one taught them etiquetteI will show another me

Today I don't need a replacementI'll tell them what the smile on my face meantMy heart going boom boom boom"Hey" I said "You can keep my things,They've come to take me home." [...]

Somebody To LoveDarby Slick (1967) / Jefferson Airplane

When the truth is found to be liesAnd all the joy within you dies

! Don't you want somebody to love! Don't you need somebody to love! Wouldn't you love somebody to love! You better find somebody to love

When the garden flowers baby are dead yesand your mind is so full of red...! (CHORUS)

Your eyes, I say your eyes may look like hisBut in your head baby I'm afraid you don't know where it is...! (CHORUS)

tears are running, they're all running down your breastand your friends baby they treat you like a guest...! (CHORUS) [...]

Something To Sing AboutOscar Brand (1971)

I have walked on the strand of the Grand Banks of NewfoundlandR’laxed on the ridge of the MiramichiSeen the waves tear and roar On the stone coast of LabradorWatched them roll back to the Great Northern Sea

! From the Vancouver Island to the ! Alberta Highlands! 'Cross the Prairies, the lakes ! To Ontario's towers! From the sound of Mount Royal's chimes! Up to the Maritimes! Something to sing about, this land of ours.

138

I have welcomed the dawn from the Fields of SaskatchewanFollowed the sun to the Vancouver shoreWatched it climb shiny new Up the snow peaks of CaribouUp to the clouds where the wild Rockies soar...! (CHORUS)

I have heard the wild wind sing The places that I have beenBay Bull and Red Deer and Strait of Bells IsleNames like Grand Mere and SilverthorneMoose Jaw and Marrowbone,Trails of the pioneer, named with a smile...! (CHORUS)

I have wandered my way to the Wild wood of Hudson BayTreated my toes to Quebec's morning dewWhere the sweet summer breeze kissed theLeaves of the maple treesSharing this song that I'm sharing with you...! (CHORUS)

Yes there's something to sing about, Tune up a string aboutCall out in chorus or quietly humOf a land that is still young, With a ballad that's still unsungTelling the promise of great things to come...! (CHORUS) [<]

SomewhereLeonard Bernstein, Stephen Sondheim (1957) / West Side Story

There's a place for us, somewhere a place for usPeace and quiet and open air wait for us somewhere

There's a time for us, some day a time for usTime together with time to spareTime to learn, time to care

Someday, somewhereWe'll find a new way of livingWe'll find a way of forgiving... somewhere

There's a place for us, a time and place for usHold my hand and we're halfway thereHold my hand and I'll take you thereSomehow, someday, somewhere [<]

Sounds Of SilencePaul Simon (1964) / Simon and Garfunkel

Hello darkness, my old friend. I've come to talk with you again. Because a vision softly creeping Left its seeds while I was sleeping And the vision that was planted in my brainStill remains within the sound of silence.

In restless dreams I walked alone, Narrow streets of cobblestone 'Neath the halo of a street lamp, I turned my collar to the cold and damp When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light That split the nightAnd touched the sound of silence.

And in the naked light I saw Ten thousand people, maybe more. People talking without speaking, People hearing without listening. People writing songs that voices never shared, No one dared disturb the sound of silence.

"Fools," said I, "you do not know, Silence like a cancer grows. Hear my words that I might teach you, Take my arms that I might reach you." But my words like silent raindrops fellAnd echoed in the wells of silence.

And the people bowed and prayed To the neon god they made And the sign flashed out its warning In the words that it was forming. And the sign said "The words of the prophetsAre written on the subway walls And tenement hallsAnd whispered in the sound of silence." [<]

SpookyDennis Yost, Mike Shapiro (1967) / Classics IV

In the cool of the evening When ev'rything is gettin' kind of groovy,I call you up and ask you If you want to go and meet and see a movie,First you say no, You've got some plans for the night,And then you stop, and say, "All right."Love is kinda crazy With a spooky little girl like you.

You always keep me guessin', I never seem to know what you are thinkin'.And if a fella looks at you, It's for sure your little eye will be a-winkin'.I get confused 'cos I don't know where I standThen you smile, and hold my hand.Love is kinda crazy With a spooky little girl like you. Spooky!

If you decide someday To stop this little game that you are playin',I'm gonna tell you all the things My heart has been a-dyin' to be sayin'.Just like a ghost, you've been hauntin' my dreams,So I'll propose... on Halloween.Love is kinda crazy With a spooky little girl like you. Spooky! [...]

Star Of The County DownTraditional

Near Banbridge town, in the County DownOne morning in JulyDown a bóithrín green came a sweet cailínAnd she smiled as she passed me by.Oh she looked so sweet from her two bare feetTo the sheen of her nut brown hairSuch a coaxing elf, sure I shook myselfTo be sure I was really there.

! And from Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay! And from Galway to Dublin town! No maid I've seen like the sweet cailín! That I met in the County Down.

As she onward sped I shook my headAnd I gazed with a feeling rareAnd I said, says I, to a passerby"Who's the maid with the nut-brown hair?"He smiled at me, and with pride says he,"That's the gem of Ireland's crown.She's young Rosie McCann from the banks of the BannShe's the star of the County Down."...! (CHORUS)

I've travelled a bit, but never was hitSince my roving career beganBut fair and square I surrendered thereTo the charms of young Rose McCann.I'd a heart to let and no tenant yetDid I meet with in shawl or gownBut in she went and I asked no rentFrom the star of the County Down....! (CHORUS)

At the crossroads fair I'll be surely thereAnd I'll dress in my Sunday clothesAnd I'll try sheep's eyes, and deludhering liesOn the heart of the nut-brown rose.No pipe I'll smoke, no horse I'll yokeThough with rust my plow turns brownTill a smiling bride by my own firesideSits the star of the County Down....! (CHORUS) [<]

Won't you press your sweet lips to mine Won't you say you love me all of the time

StillTony Dekker (2009) / Great Lake Swimmers

i'm still turning myself to the great keyI'm still i'm stillI'm still mining for light in dark wellsI'm still i'm still I'm still a frequency swaying a leaf in the windI'm still i'm stillI'm still searching for whispers in between yellsI'm still i'm still I'm still swimming in harmonyI'm still dreaming of flightI'm still lost in the waves night after night I'm still an arrow unshot fixed in a bowI'm still i'm stillI'm still a fire unlit ready to goI'm still i'm still  I'm still loaded and waitingWith anticipation to flyI'm still studying the patterns in the night sky I'm still a note that's unplayed ink on a pageI'm still i'm stillI'm still a cry in the night lonesome and highI'm still i'm still I'm still tuned to an instrumentOf greater and unknown designI'm still looking for direction, some kind of sign I'm still tuning myself to the great keyI'm still i'm still.

! Stop! In the name of love! Before you break my heart

Baby, baby, I'm aware of where you goEach time you leave my doorI watch you walk down the streetKnowing your other love you'll meetBut this time before you run to herLeaving me alone and hurt(Think it over) Haven’t I've been good to you ?(Think it over) After I've been sweet to you ?

! Stop! In the name of love! Before you break my heart! Stop! In the name of love! Before you break my heart! Think it over. Think it over.

I've known of your, your secluded nightsI've even seen her maybe once or twiceBut is her sweet expressionWorth more than my love and affection ?This time before you leave my armsAnd rush off to her charms(Think it over) Haven't I been good to you ?(Think it over) After I been sweet to you ?...! (CHORUS)

I've tried so hard, hard to be patientHoping you'd stop this infatuationBut each time you are togetherI'm so afraid I'll be losing you forever...! (CHORUS) [...]

Surrey With The Fringe On TopRichard Rogers, Oscar Hammerstein II (1943) / Oklahoma!

When I take you out, tonight, with me, Honey, here's the way it's goin' to be: You will set behind a team of snow white horses, In the slickest gig you ever see!

Chicks and ducks and geese better scurry When I take you out in the surrey, When I take you out in the surrey with the fringe on top!

Watch that fringe and see how it flutters When I drive them high steppin' strutters. Nosey pokes'll peek thru' their shutters and their eyes will pop!

The wheels are yellow, the upholstery's brown, The dashboard's genuine leather, With Eisenglass curtains you can roll right down, In case there's a change in the weather.

Two bright sidelight's winkin' and blinkin', Ain't no finer rig I'm a-thinkin' You can keep your rig if you're thinkin'That I’d care to swap For that shiny little surrey with the fringe on the top!

Would you say the fringe was made of silk?Wouldn't have no other kind but silkHas it really got a team of snow white horses?One's like snow, the other's more like milk

All the world'll fly in a flurryWhen I take you out in the surreyWhen I take you out in the surrey with the fringe on top

When we hit that road hell-for-leatherCats and dogs will dance in the heatherBirds and frogs will sing all together and the toads will hop!

The wind'll whistle as we rattle alongThe cows'll moo in the cloverThe river will ripple out a whispered songAnd whisper over and over

Don't you wish you'd go on foreverDon't you wish you'd go on foreverDon't you wish you'd go on foreverAnd you'd never stop?In that shiny little surrey with the fringe on the top

I can see the stars gettin' blurryWhen we ride back home in the surreyRidin' slowly home in the surrey with the fringe on topI can feel the day gettin' olderFeel a sleepy head near my shoulderNoddin’, droopin’, close to my shoulder till it falls kerplop

The sun is swimming on the rim of a hillThe moon is taking a headerAnd just when I'm thinking all the earth is stillA lark'll wake up in the meadow

Hush, you bird, my baby's a sleepin'Maybe got a dream worth a keepin'Whoa, you team and just keep a creepin' at a slow clip clopDon't you hurry little surreyWith the fringe on the top. [<]

Teach Your ChildrenGraham Nash (1969) / Crosby Stills Nash & Young

You, who are on the road Must have a code that you can live by.And so become yourself Because the past is just a good bye.Teach your children well, Their father's hell did slowly go by,And feed them on your dreams, The one they picks, the one you're known by.Don't you ever ask them why, If they told you you would cry,So just look at them and sigh And know they love you.

And you, of the tender years Can't know the fears that your elders grew by,And so please help them with your years, They seek the truth before they can die.Teach your parents well, Their children's hell will slowly go by,And feed them on your dreams, The one they picks, the one you're known by.Don't you ever ask them why, If they told you, you would cry,So just look at them and sigh And know they love you.

Tennessee WaltzRedd Stewart, Pee Wee King (1946) / Cowboy Copas

I was dancin' with my darlin To the Tennessee Waltz When an old friend I happened to see. I introduced her to my darlin' And while they were dancin' My friend stole my sweetheart from me.

I remember the night and the Tennessee Waltz Now I know just how much I have lost Yes, I lost my little darlin' The night they were playin' That beautiful Tennessee Waltz

Now I wonder how a dance likeThe Tennessee Waltz Could have broken my heart so complete

Well I couldn't blame my darlin', And who could help fallin' In love with my darlin' so sweet

Well it must be the fault of the Tennessee Waltz Wish I'd known just how much it would cost But I didn't see it comin', It's all over but the cryin' Blame it all on the Tennessee Waltz

(S)he goes dancin' with the darkness to the Tennessee Waltz And I feel like I'm falling apart And it's stronger than drink and It's deeper than sorrow This darkness (s)he left in my heart

I remember the night and the Tennessee Waltz Cause I know just how much I have lost Yes I lost my little darlin' The night they were playin' That beautiful Tennessee Waltz [<]

Then He Kissed MePhil Spector, Ellie Greenwich, Jeff Barry (1963) / The Crystals

Well, he walked up to meAnd he asked me if I wanted to danceHe looked kinda niceAnd so I said, "I might take a chance"

When he danced, he held me tightAnd when he walked me home that nightAll the stars were shinin' brightAnd then he kissed meEach time I saw himI couldn't wait to see him againI wanted to let him knowThat he was more than a friend

I didn't know just what to doSo I whispered, "I love you"And he said that he loved me tooAnd then he kissed me

He kissed me in a wayThat I've never been kissed beforeHe kissed me in a wayThat I wanna be kissed forever more

I knew that he was mineSo I gave him all the love that I hadAnd one day he took me homeTo meet his mom and his dad

Then he asked me to be his brideAnd always be right by his sideI felt so happy, I almost criedAnd then he kissed me

(instrumental verse)

Then he asked me to be his brideAnd always be right by his sideI felt so happy, I almost criedAnd then he kissed me (3x) [<]

This Land Is Your LandWoody Guthrie (1940)

This land is your land, this land is my landFrom Bona Vista to Vancouver IslandFrom the Arctic Circle to the Great Lakes watersThis land was made for you and me.

As I went walking that ribbon of highwayI saw above me that endless skywayI saw below me that golden valleyThis land was made for you and me.

I roamed and I rambled and followed my footstepsTo the fir-clad forests of our mighty mountainsAnd all around me a voice was calling,This land was made for you and me.

When the sun came shining, and I was strollingAnd the wheat fields waving and the dust clouds rollingA voice was chanting, as the fog was lifting,This land was made for you and me.

Nobody living can ever stop me,As I go walking that freedom highway;Nobody living can ever make me turn backThis land was made for you and me.

In the squares of the city, in the shadow of a steeple;By the relief office, I'd seen my people.As they stood there hungry, I stood there asking,Is this land made for you and me?

This MasqueradeLeon Russell (1972)

Are we really happy with This lonely game we play,Looking for the right words to say?Searching but not finding Understanding anyway,We're lost in this masquerade.

Both afraid to say we're just too far awayFrom being close together from the start.We try to talk it over, But the words got in the wayWe're lost inside this lonely game we play.

Thoughts of leaving disappearEach time I see your eyes,And no matter how hard I tryTo understand the reason why We carry on this wayWe're lost in this masquerade.

Times Of Your LifeRoger Nichols, Bill Laine (1975) / Paul Anka

Good morning, yesterdayYou wake up and time has slipped awayAnd suddenly it's hard to findThe memories you left behindRemember, do you remember

The laughter and the tearsThe shadows of misty yesteryearsThe good times and the bad you've seenAnd all the others in betweenRemember, do you rememberThe times of your life.

Reach back for the joy and the sorrowPut them away in your mindThe memories are time that you borrowTo spend when you get to tomorrow

Here comes the saddest partThe seasons are passing one by oneSo gather moments while you mayCollect the dreams you dream todayRemember, will you rememberThe times of your life.

To Sir With LoveDon Black, Mark London (1967) / Lulu

Those schoolgirl days, Of telling tales and biting nails are gone,But in my mind,I know they will still live on and on,

But how do you thank someone, Who has taken you from crayons to perfume?It isn't easy, but I'll try.

If you wanted the sky I would Write across the sky in letters, that would Soar a thousand feet high, To Sir, with Love

The time has come,For closing books and long last looks must end,And as I leave,I know that I am leaving my best friend.

A friend who taught me right from wrong, And weak from strong, that's a lot to learn,What, what can I give you in return?

If you wanted the moon I would Try to make a start, but I Would rather you let me give my heart,To Sir, with Love.(repeat)

She may be weary, women do get wearyWearing the same shabby dressAnd when she's weary, Try a little tenderness

Try To RememberHarvey Schmidt, Tom Jones (1960) / The Fantasticks

Try to remember the kind of SeptemberWhen life was slow and oh, so mellow.Try to remember the kind of SeptemberWhen grass was green and grain was yellow.Try to remember the kind of SeptemberWhen you were a tender and callow fellow.Try to remember, and if you remember,Then follow.

Try to remember when life was so tenderThat no one wept except the willow.Try to remember when life was so tenderThat dreams were kept beside your pillow.Try to remember when life was so tenderThat love was an ember about to billow.Try to remember, and if you remember,Then follow.

Deep in December, it's nice to remember,Although you know the snow will follow.Deep in December, it's nice to remember,Without a hurt the heart is hollow.Deep in December, it's nice to remember,The fire of September that made us mellow.Deep in December, our hearts should rememberAnd follow. [<]

The ValleyJane Siberry (1989)

I live in the hills, you live in the valleysand all that you know are these blackbirds.You rise every morning, Wondering what in the world Will the world bring todayWill it bring you joy or will it take it away.

And every step you take is guided byThe map of the light on the landand the blackbird's cryYou will walk, you will walkYou will walk in good company

The valley is dark, the burgeoning holdingThe stillness obscured by their judging.You walk through the shadows, Uncertain and surely hurtingDeserted by the blackbirds And the staccato of the staff

And though you trust the light towards Which you wend your waySometimes it feels all that you wantedHas been taken awayYou will walk, you will walkYou will walk in good company

I love the best in you, You love the best in meAnd though it is not always easy. Lovely? Lonely?

We will walk, we will walkWe will walk in good company.

The shepherd upright and flowingYou see. [<]

Viva La VidaGuy Berryman, Jonny Buckland, Will Champion, Chris Martin (2008) / Coldplay

I used to rule the worldSeas would rise when I gave the wordNow in the morning I sleep aloneSweep the streets I used to own

I used to roll the diceFeel the fear in my enemy's eyesListen as the crowd would sing"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"

One minute I held the keyNext the walls were closed on meAnd I discovered that my castles standUpon pillars of salt and pillars of sand

! I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing! Roman Cavalry choirs are singing! Be my mirror, my sword and shield! My missionaries in a foreign field! For some reason I can't explain! Once you go there was never! Never an honest word! And that was when I ruled the world

It was the wicked and wild windBlew down the doors to let me inShattered windows and the sound of drumsPeople couldn't believe what I'd become

Revolutionaries waitFor my head on a silver plateJust a puppet on a lonely stringOh who would ever want to be king?...! (CHORUS)

Oh......(CHORUS) [<]

! Waiting, waiting on the world to change ! We keep on waiting ! Waiting on the world to change

It's hard to beat the system When we're standing at a distance So we keep waitingWaiting on the world to change

It's not that we don't care, We just know that the fight ain't fair So we keep on waiting Waiting on the world to change

Now as the rain beats down upon my weary eyesFor me it cries

The Way We WereAlan Bergman, Marilyn Bergman, Marvin Hamlisch (1973) / The Way We Were

Memories light the corners of my mindMisty watercolor memories of the way we wereScattered pictures of the smiles we left behindSmiles we gave to one anotherFor the way we were

Can it be that it was all so simple thenOr has time rewritten every lineIf we had the chance to do it all againTell me - Would we? Could we?

Memories may be beautiful and yetWhat's too painful to rememberWe simply choose to forgetSo it's the laughter we will rememberWhenever we remember the way we were. [<]

We Can Work It OutJohn Lennon, Paul McCartney (1965) / The Beatles

Try to see it my way,Do I have to keep on talking till I can't go on?While you see it your way,Run the risk of knowing That our love may soon be gone.We can work it out, we can work it out.

Think of what you're saying.You can get it wrong and still you think That it's all right.Think of what I'm saying,We can work it out and get it straight, Or say goodnight.We can work it out, we can work it out.

(Bridge:)Life is very short, and there's no timeFor fussing and fighting, my friend.I have always thought that it's a crime,So I will ask you once again.

Try to see it my way,Only time will tell if I am right or I am wrong.

While you see it your wayThere's a chance that we might fall apart Before too long.We can work it out, we can work it out.

(repeat bridge and last verse) [<]

And if you’re strung out like a kiteor stoned awake at nightIt’s alright to be frightened

! there’s a light what light! there’s a light what light! there’s a light white light inside of you

If you think you might need somebodyTo pick you up when you’re draggedDon’t lose sight of yourselfDon’t let anyone change your bag

And if the whole world’s singing your songsAnd all of your paintings have been hungJust remember what was yoursIs everyone’s from now on

And that’s not wrong or rightBut you can struggle with it all you likeYou’ll only get uptight....!(CHORUS)

Where To Now St. Peter?Elton John, Bernie Taupin (1970)

I took myself a blue canoe And I floated like a leafDazzling, dancing half enchantedIn my Merlin sleep

Crazy was the feelingRestless were my eyesInsane they took the paddlesMy arms they paralyzed

! So where to now St. Peter! If it's true I'm in your hands! I may not be a Christian! But I've done all one man can! I understand I'm on the road! Where all that was is gone! So where to now St. Peter! Show me which road I'm on! Which road I'm on

It took a sweet young foreign gunThis lazy life is shortSomething for nothing always endingWith a bad report

Dirty was the daybreakSudden was the changeIn such a silent place as thisBeyond the rifle range...! (CHORUS)

I took myself a blue canoe. [<]

I don't know why nobody told you how to unfold your love I don't know how someone controlled you they bought and sold you

I look at the world and I notice it's turning While my guitar gently weeps With every mistake we must surely be learning Still my guitar gently weeps

I don't know how you were diverted No one alerted youI don't know how you were inverted You were perverted too

I look at you all see the love there that's sleeping While my guitar gently weeps I look at you all Still my guitar gently weeps [...]

Who’ll Stop The RainJohn Fogerty (1970) / Creedence Clearwater Revival

Long as I remember The rain been comin' down.Clouds of mystery pourin' Confusion on the ground.Good men through the ages, Tryin' to find the sun;And I wonder, still I wonder, Who'll stop the rain.

I went down Virginia, Seekin' shelter from the storm.Caught up in the fable, I watched the tower grow.Five year plans and new deals, Wrapped in golden chains.And I wonder, still I wonder Who'll stop the rain.

Heard the singers playin', How we cheered for more.The crowd had rushed together, Tryin' to keep warm.Still the rain kept pourin', Fallin' on my ears.And I wonder, still I wonder Who'll stop the rain. [<]

And when we've had a few more daysI wonder if I'll get to sayYou didn't have to be so niceI would have liked you anyway

Today I said the time was right for me to follow youI knew I'd find you in a day or two, and it's trueYou didn't have to be so niceI would have liked you anywayIf you had just looked once or twiceAnd gone upon your quiet way. [...]

You Don’t Have To Say You Love MePino Donaggio, Vito Palavicini, Vicki Wickham, Simon Napier-Bell (1965) / Dusty Springfield

When I said I needed youYou said you would always stayIt wasn't me who changed but youAnd now you've gone away

Don't you see that now you've goneAnd I'm left here on my ownThat I have to follow youAnd beg you to come home?

! You don't have to say you love me! Just be close at hand! You don't have to stay forever I will understand! Believe me, believe me I can't help but love you! But believe me I'll never tie you down

Left alone with just a memoryLife seems dead and so unrealAll that's left is lonelinessThere's nothing left to feel...! (CHORUS)

You LearnAlanis Mirossette. Glen Ballard (1995) / Alanis Morissette

I recommend getting your heart trampled on To anyoneI recommend walking around naked in Your living roomSwallow it down (what a jagged little pill)It feels so good (swimming in your stomach)Wait until the dust settles

! you live you learn - you love you learn! you cry you learn - you lose you learn! you bleed you learn - you scream you learn

I recommend biting off more then you can chewTo anyone, I certainly doI recommend sticking your foot in your mouthAt any time, feel freeThrow it down (the caution blocks you from the wind)Hold it up (to the rays)You wait and see when the smoke clears...! (CHORUS)

(instrumental bridge 8 bars)Wear it out (the way a three-year-old would do)Melt it down (you're gonna have to eventually anyway)The fire trucks are comin’ up around the bend...! (CHORUS)

! You grieve you learn - you choke you learn! You laugh you learn - you choose you learn! You pray you learn - you ask you learn! You live you learn. [<]

You Needed MeRandy Goodrum (1978) / Anne Murray

I cried a tear. You wiped it dry. I was confused. You cleared my mind. I sold my soul. You bought it back for me And held me up, and gave me dignity. Somehow you needed me.

You gave me strength to stand alone again, To face the world out on my own again. You put me high upon a pedestal, So high that I could almost see eternityYou needed me, you needed me.

(Bridge:)And I can't believe it's you, I can't believe it's true.I needed you and you were thereAnd I'll never leave, why should I leave, I'd be a fool'Cause I finally found someone who really cares.

176

You held my hand when it was cold. When I was lost you took me homeYou gave me hope when I was at the end, And turned my lies back into truth again. You even called me "friend".

You gave me strength to stand alone again, To face the world out on my own again. You put me high upon a pedestal, So high that I could almost see eternityYou needed me, you needed me.

(repeat bridge and last verse)

You needed me, you needed me. [<]

You Won’t See MeJohn Lennon, Paul McCartney (1965) / The Beatles

When I call you up, your line's engagedI have had enough so act your ageWe have lost the time that was so hard to findAnd I will lose my mind if You won't see me (you won't see me) (2x)

I don't know why you should want to hideBut I can't get through, my hands are tiedI won't want to stay, I don't have much to sayBut I can't turn away, and You won't see me (you won't see me) (2x)

Time after time, you refuse to even listenI wouldn't mind if I knew what I was missing

Though the days are few, they're filled with tearsAnd since I lost you it feels like yearsYes, it seems so long girl since you've been goneAnd I just can't go on if You won't see me (you won't see me) (2x)

(repeat bridge and last verse) [...]

You’re SixteenRobert Sherman, Richard Sherman (1960) / Johnny Burnette

You come on like a dream, peaches and cream,Lips like strawberry wine.You're sixteen, you're beautiful and you're mine. You're all ribbons and curls, ooh, what a girl,Eyes that sparkle and shine.You're sixteen, you're beautiful and you're mine.

You're my baby, you're my pet,We fell in love on the night we met.You touched my hand, my heart went pop,Ooh, when we kissed, i could not stop.

You walked out of my dreams, into my arms,Now you're my angel divine.You're sixteen, you're beautiful, and you're mine(instrumental verse)

You’re So VainCarly Simon (1972)

! You're so vain! You probably think this song is about you! You're so vain ! I'll bet you think this song is about you! Don't you? Don't you?

Well you had me several years agoWhen I was still quite naiveAnd you said that we made such a pretty pairAnd that you would never leaveBut you gave away the things you lovedAnd one of them was meI had some dreams they were clouds in my coffeeClouds in my coffee, and...! (CHORUS)

Here I stand head in hand, turn my face to the wallIf she's gone I can't go on feelin' two-foot smallEverywhere people stare each and every dayI can see them laugh at me and I hear them say

Hey you've got to hide your love away (x2)

How can I even try, I can never winHearing them, seeing them in the state I'm inHow could she say to me love will find a wayGather round all you clowns, let me hear you say

Hey you've got to hide your love away (2x) [<]

They say for every boy and girl,There's just one love in this old world,And I, I kn-ow, I, I, I've found mine.The heavenly touch of your embrace,Tells me no one will take your place,A, A, A, A, ever in my heart.

! Young love, first love, filled with true devotion! Young love, our love, we share with deep emotion.

Just one kiss from your sweet lips,Will tell me that your love is real,And I, I, I can fe-el that it's true.We will vow to one another,There will never be another,Lo-ve for you, or for me....! (CHORUS) [<]

Your Cheating HeartHank Williams (1952)

Your cheatin' heart will make you weep,You'll cry and cry, and try to sleep,But sleep won't come the whole night through,Your cheatin heart, will tell on you...

When tears come down like falling rain,You'll toss around and call my name,You'll walk the floor the way I do,Your cheatin' heart, will tell on you.

Your cheatin' heart will pine some day,And crave the love you threw away,The time will come when you'll be blue,Your cheatin' heart will tell on you...

(repeat bridge and last verse) [<]

Your SongElton John, Bernie Taupin (1970)

It's a little bit funny this feeling insideI'm not one of those who can easily hideI don't have much money but boy if I didI'd buy a big house where we both could live

If I was a sculptor, but then again, noOr a man who makes potions in a traveling showI know it's not much but it's the best I can doMy gift is my song and this one's for you

! And you can tell everybody this is your song! It may be quite simple but now that it's done! I hope you don't mind! I hope you don't mind ! That I put down in words! How wonderful life is while you're in the world

I sat on the roof and kicked off the mossWell a few of the verses well they've got me quite crossBut the sun's been quite kind While I wrote this songIt's for people like you that keep it turned on

So excuse me forgetting but these things I doYou see I've forgotten if they're green or they're blueAnyway the thing is What I really meanYours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen...! (CHORUS)

! I hope you don't mind! I hope you don't mind ! That I put down in words! How wonderful life is while you're in the world [<]
