OTHER LYRICS

I turn on the tube and what do I see
A whole lotta people cryin' "Don't blame me"
They point their crooked little fingers ar everybody else
Spend all their time feelin' sorry for themselves
Victim of this, victim of that
Your momma's too thin; your daddy's too fat

Get over it
Get over it
All this whinin' and cryin' and pitchin' a fit
Get over it, get over it

You say you haven't been the same since you had your little crash
But you might feel better if I gave you some cash
The more I think about it, Old Billy was right
Let's kill all the lawyers, kill 'em tonight
You don't want to work, you want to live like a king
But the big, bad world doesn't owe you a thing

Get over it
Get over it
If you don't want to play, then you might as well split
Get over it, Get over it

It's like going to confession every time I hear you speak
You're makin' the most of your losin' streak
Some call it sick, but I call it weak

You drag it around like a ball and chain
You wallow in the guilt; you wallow in the pain
You wave it like a flag, you wear it like a crown
Got your mind in the gutter, bringin' everybody down
Complain about the present and blame it on the past
I'd like to find your inner child and kick its little ass

Get over it
Get over it
All this bitchin' and moanin' and pitchin' a fit
Get over it, get over it

Get over it
Get over it
It's gotta stop sometime, so why don't you quit
Get over it, get over it

Well, I heard some people talkin' just the other day
And they said you were gonna put me on a shelf
But let me tell you I got some news for you
And you'll soon find out it's true
And then you'll have to eat your lunch all by yourself

'Cause I'm already gone
And I'm feelin' strong
I will sing this vict'ry song, woo, hoo,hoo,woo,hoo,hoo

The letter that you wrote me made me stop and wonder why
But I guess you felt like you had to set things right
Just remember this, my girl, when you look up in the sky
You can see the stars and still not see the light (that's right)

And I'm already gone
And I'm feelin' strong
I will sing this vict'ry song, woo, hoo,hoo,woo, hoo,hoo

Well I know it wasn't you who held me down
Heaven knows it wasn't you who set me free
So often times it happens that we live our lives in chains
And we never even know we have the key

But me, I'm already gone
And I'm feelin' strong
I will sing this vict'ry song
'Cause I'm already gone
Yes, I'm already gone
And I'm feelin' strong
I will sing this vict'ry song
'Cause I'm already gone
Yes, I'm already gone
Already gone
All right, nighty-night 

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 reasons
These things that are pleasin' you
Can hurt you somehow

Don' you draw the queen of diamonds, boy
She'll beat you if she's able
You know the queen of heats is always your best bet

Now 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 youger
Your pain and your hunger, they're drivin' you home
And 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 loosin' 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 you
You better let somebody love you, before it's too late

City girls just seem to find out early
How to open doors with just a smile
A rich old man and she won't have to worry
She'll dress up all in lace and go in style

Late at night a big old house gets lonely
I guess ev'ry form of refuge has its price
And it breaks her heart to think her love is only
Given to a man with hands as cold as ice

So she tells him she must go out for the evening
To comfort an old friend who's feelin' down
But he knows where she's goin' as she's leavin'
She is headed for the cheatin' side of town

You can't hide your lyin' eyes
And your smile is a thin disguise
I thought by now you'd realize
There ain't no way to hide your lyin eyes

On the other side of town a boy is waiting
with fiery eyes and dreams no one could steal
She drives on through the night anticipating
'Cause he makes her feel the way she used to feel

She rushes to his arms, they fall together
She whispers that it's only for awhile
She swears that soon she'll be comin' back forever
She pulls away and leaves him with a smile

You can't hid your lyin' eyes
And your smile is a thin disguise
I thought by now you'd realize
There ain't now way to hide you lyin' eyes

She gets up and pours herself a strong one
And stares out at the stars up in the sky
Another night, it's gonna be a long one
She draws the shade and hangs her head to cry

She wonders how it ever got this crazy
She thinks about a boy she knew in school
Did she get tired or did she just get lazy?
She's so far gone she feels just like a fool

My, oh my, you sure know how to arrange things
You set it up so well, so carefully
Ain't it funny how your new life didn't change things
You're still the same old girl you used to be

You can't hide your lyin eyes
And your smile is a thin disguise
I thought by now you'd realize
There ain't no way to hide your lyin' eyes
There ain't no way to hide your lyin' eyes
Honey, you can't hide your lyin' eyes 

One of these nights
One of these crazy old nights
We're gonna find out
Pretty mama
What turns on your lights

The full moon is calling
The fever is high
And the wicked wind whispers
And moans

You got your demons
You got desires
Well, I got a few of my own

Oo, someone to be kind to in
Between the dark and the light
Oo, coming right behind you
Swear I'm gonna find you
One of these nights

One of these dreams
One of these lost and lonely dreams
We're gonna find one
One that really screams

I've been searching for the daughter of the devil himself
I've been searching for an angel in white
I've been waiting for a woman who's a little of both
And I can feel her but she's nowhere in sight

Oo, loneliness will blind you
In between the wrong and the right
Oo, coming right behind you
Swear I'm gonna find you
One of these nights

One of these nights
In between the dark and the light
Coming right behind you
Swear I'm gonna find you
Get 'ya baby one of these nights
One of these nights
One of these nights
I can feel it
I can feel it
One of these nights
Coming right behind you
Swear I'm gonna find you now
One of these nights..etc....

I like the way your sparkling earrings lay,
against your skin, it's so brown
and I wanna sleep with you in the desert tonight
with a billion stars all around
'cause I gotta peaceful easy feeling
and I know you won't let me down
'cause I'm already standing on the ground

And I found out a long time ago
what a woman can do to your soul
Ah, but she can't take you anyway
You don't already know how to go

And I gotta peaceful, easy feeling
and I know you won't let me down
'cause I'm already standing on the ground

I get this feeling I may know you 
as a lover and a friend
but this voice keeps whispering in my other ear,
tells me I may never see you again

'cause I get a peaceful, easy feeling
and I know you won't let me down
'cause I'm already standing on the ground
'cause I'm already standing...
on the ground oooo, oooo 

Well, I'm running down the road
tryin' to loosen my load
I've got seven women on my mind,
Four that wanna own me,
Two that wanna stone me,
One says she's a friend of mine

Take It easy, take it easy
Don't let the sound of your own wheels drive you crazy
Lighten up while you still can
don't even try to understand
Just find a place to make your stand
and take it easy

Well, I'm a standing on a corner
in Winslow, Arizona
and such a fine sight to see
It's a girl, my Lord, in a flatbed Ford
slowin' down to take a look at me

Come on, baby, don't say maybe
I gotta know if your sweet love is gonna save me
We may lose and we may win
though we will never be here again
so open up, I'm climbin' in,
so take it easy

Well I'm running down the road
trying to loosen my load,
got a world of trouble on my mind
lookin' for a lover who won't blow my cover,
she's so hard to find

Take it easy, take it easy
don't let the sound of your own wheels make you crazy
come on baby, don't say maybe
I gotta know if your sweet love is gonna save me,

Oh oh oh
Oh we got it easy
We oughta take it easy 





TAKE IT TO THE LIMIT - THE EAGLES 

All alone at the end of the of the evening
And the bright lights have faded to blue
I was thinking 'bout a woman who might have loved me
and I never knew

You know I've always been a dreamer
(spent my life running 'round)
And it's so hard to change
(Can't seem to settle down)
But the dreams I've seen lately
Keep on turning out and burning out
And turning out the same

So put me on a highway
And show me a sign
And take it to the limit one more time

You can spend all your time making money
You can spend all your love making time
If it all fell to pieces tomorrow
Would you still be mine?

And when you're looking for your freedom
(Nobody seems to care)
And you can't find the door
(Can't find it anywhere)
When there's nothing to believe in
Still you're coming back,
you're running back for more

So put me on a highway
And show me a sign
And take it to the limit one more time

Take it to the limit
Take it to the limit
Take it to the limit one more time 




TEQUILA SUNRISE - THE EAGLES 

It's another tequila sunrise
Starin' slowly 'cross the sky, said goobye
He was just a hired hand
Workin' on the dreams he planned to try
The days go by

Ev'ry night when the sun goes down
Just another lonely boy in town
And she's out runnin' 'round

She wasn't just another woman
And I couldn't keep from comin' on
It's been so long

Oh, and it's a hollow feelin'
when It comes down to dealin' friends
It never ends

Take another shot of courage
Wonder why the right words never come
You just get numb

It's another tequila sunrise,
this old world still looks the same,
Another frame, mm... 
   



THE BEST OF MY LOVE - THE EAGLES 

Every night I'm lyin' in bed
Holdin' you close in my dreams
Thinkin' about all the things that we said
And comin' apart at the seams
We try to talk it over
But the words come out too rough
I know you were tryin' to give me the best of your love

Beautiful faces and loud, empty places
Look at the way that we live
Wastin' our time on cheap talk and wine
Left us so little to give
That same old crowd
Was like a cold dark cloud
That we could never rise above
But here in my heart I give you the best of my love

Oh sweet darlin' you get the best of my love,
Oh Sweet darlin', you get the best of my love

I'm goin' back in time
And it's a sweet dream
It was a quiet night
And I would be all right
If I could go on sleepin'

But every mornin'
I wake up and worry
What's gonna happen today
You see it your way
And I see it mine
But we both see it slippin' away

You know we always had each other baby
I guess that wasn't enough
Oh, but here in my heart
I give you the best of my love

Oh, sweet darlin'
You get the best of my love
Oh, sweet darlin'
You get the best of my love
Every night and day,
You get the best of my love
Oh, sweet darlin' you get the best of my love
Oh, sweet darlin' you get the best of my love..
etc..
   



HOTEL CALIFORNA - THE EAGLES 

On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
Warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air
Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
I had to stop for the night

There she stood in the doorway;
I heard the mission bell
And I was thinking to myself,
'This could be Heaven or this could be Hell'
Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way
There were voices down the corridor,
I thought I heard them say...

Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place
Such a lovely face
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
Any time of year, you can find it here

Her mind is Tiffany-twisted,
she got the Mercedes bends
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys, that she calls friends
How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat.
Some dance to remember, some dance to forget

So I called up the Captain,
'Please bring me my wine'
He said,'We haven't had that spirit here since nineteen sixty nine'
And still those voices are calling from far away,
Wake you up in the middle of the night
Just to hear them say...

Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place
Such a lovely face
They livin' it up at the Hotel California
What a nice surprise, bring your alibis

Mirrors on the ceiling,
The pink champagne on ice
And she said 'We are all just prisoners here, of our own device'
And in the master's chambers,
They gathered for the feast
The stab it with their steely knives,
But they just can't kill the beast

Last thing I remember, I was
Running for the door
I had to find the passage back
To the place I was before
'Relax,'said the night man,
We are programmed to receive.
You can checkout any time you like,
but you can never leave




I SAW HER STANDING THERE _ THE BEATLES 

1 - 2 - 3 - 4 !
Well, she was just 17,
You know what I mean,
And the way she looked was way beyond compare.
So how could I dance with another (ooh)
And I saw her standin' there.

Well she looked at me, and I, I could see
That before too long I'd fall in love with her.
She wouldn't dance with another (whooh)
And I saw her standin' there.

Chorus:
Well, my heart went "boom,"
When I crossed that room,
And I held her hand in mine...

Whoah, we danced through the night,
And we held each other tight,
And before too long I fell in love with her.
Now I'll never dance with another (whooh)
Since I saw her standing there

Chorus

Repeat last verse





ALL MY LOVING - THE BEATLES 

Close your eyes and I'll kiss you,
Tomorrow I'll miss you;
Remember I'll always be true.
And then while I'm away,
I'll write home every day,
And I'll send all my loving to you.

I'll pretend that I'm kissing  the lips I am missing
And hope that my dreams will come true.
And then while I'm away,
I'll write home every day,
And I'll send all my loving to you.
   
All my loving I will send to you.
All my loving, darling I'll be true.
   
Close your eyes and I'll kiss you,
Tomorrow I'll miss you;
Remember I'll always be true.
And then while I'm away,
I'll write home every day,
And I'll send all my loving to you.
   
All my loving I will send to you.
All my loving, darling I'll be true.
All my loving, All my loving ooh,
All my loving I will send to you.




A HARD DAYS NIGHT - THE BEATLES  

It's been a hard day's night, and I been working like a dog
It's been a hard day's night, I should be sleeping like a log
but when I get home to you I'll find the things that you do
will make me feel alright
   
You know I work all day to get you money to buy you things
and it's worth it just to hear you say you're going to give me everything
So why on earth should I moan, 'cause when I get you alone
you know I feel ok
   
When I'm home everything seems to be right
When I'm home feeling you holding me tight, tight (Ummm)
Owww!
   
So why on earth should I moan, 'cause when I get you alone
you know I feel ok
you know I feel alright
you know I feel alright




I SOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER - THE BEATLES 

I should have known better with a girl like you,
that I would love everything that you do;
and I do, hey, hey, hey, and I do.

Whoa, oh, I never realized what a kiss could be,
this could only happen to me;
can't you see, can't you see,

That when I tell you that I love you, oh,
you're gonna say you love me too, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, oh,
And when I ask you to be mine,
you're gonna say you love me too.
You love me too, you love me too.




IF I FELL - THE BEATLES  

If I fell in love with you
would you promise to be true
and help me understand
'cause I've been in love before
and I found that love was more
than just holding hands

If I give my heart to you
I must be sure
from the very start
that you would love me more than her

If I trust in you oh please
don't run and hide
if I love you too oh please
don't hurt my pride like her
'cause I couldn't stand the pain
and I would be sad if our new love was in vain

So I hope you see that I
would love to love you
and that she will cry
when she learns we are two
if I fell in love with you




CAN’T BUY ME LOVE - THE BEATLES 

Can't buy me love, love
can't buy me love

I'll buy you a diamond ring my friend if it makes you feel alright
I'll get you anything my friend if it makes you feel alright
'cause I don't care too much for money, money can't buy me love

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you love me too
I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you
I don't care too much for money, money can't buy me love

Can't buy me love, everybody tells me so
can't buy me love, no no no, no

Say you don't need no diamond ring and I'll be satisfied
tell me that you want the kind of thing that money just can't buy
I don't care too much for money, money can't buy me love

Owww!




THINGS WE SAID TODAY - THE BEATLES 

You say you will love me
If I have to go.
You'll be thinking of me,
Somehow I will know.

Wishing you weren't so far away,
Then I will remember
The things we said today.

You say you'll be mine, girl,
Until the end of time.
These days such a kind girl
Seems so hard to find.

Someday when we're dreaming,
Deep in love, not a lot to say.
Then we will remember
The things we said today.

Me, I'm just the lucky kind.
Love to hear you say that love is luck.
And, though we may be blind,
Love is here to stay. And that's enough

To make you mine, girl,
Be the only one.
Love me all the time, girl.
We'll go on and on.

Someday when we're dreaming,
Deep in love, not a lot to say.
Then we will tremember
The things we said today.

Love me all the time, girl.
We'll go on and on.
Someday when we're dreaming,
Deep in love, not a lot to say.
Then we will remember
The things we said today.






EIGHT DAYS A WEEK - THE BEATLES 

Ooh I need your love babe,
guess you know it's true.
Hope you need my love babe,
Just like I need you.
Hold me, love me, hold me, love me.
Ain't got nothin' but love babe,
Eight days a week.

Love you every day girl,
always on my mind.
One thing I can say girl,
love you all the time.
Hold me, love me, hold me, love me.
Ain't got nothin' but love babe,
Eight days a week.

Eight days a week
I love you.
Eight days a week
is not enough to show I care.

Ooh I need your love babe,

Hold me, love me, hold me, love me.
Ain't got nothin' but love babe,
Eight days a week.
Eight days a week.
Eight days a week.




HELP! - THE BEATLES 

Help, I need somebody,
Help, not just anybody,
Help, you know I need someone, help.

When I was younger, so much younger than today,
I never needed anybody's help in any way.
But now these days are gone, I'm not so self assured,
Now I find I've changed my mind and opened up the doors.

Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate you being round.
Help me, get my feet back on the ground,
Won't you please, please help me.

And now my life has changed in oh so many ways,
My independence seems to vanish in the haze.
But every now and then I feel so insecure,
I know that I just need you like I've never done before.

Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate you being round.
Help me, get my feet back on the ground,
Won't you please, please help me.

When I was younger, so much younger than today,
I never needed anybody's help in any way.
But now these daya are gone, I'm not so self assured,
Now I find I've changed my mind and opened up the doors.

Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate you being round.
Help me, get my feet back on the ground,
Won't you please, please help me, help me, help me, oh.




YOU’VE GOT TO HIDE YOUR LOVE AWAY - THE BEATLES 

Here I stand head in hand
Turn my face to the wall
If she's gone I can't go on
Feelin' two-foot small

Everywhere people stare
Each and every day
I can see them laugh at me
And I hear them say

Hey you've got to hide your love away
Hey you've got to hide your love away

How can I even try
I can never win
Hearing them, seeing them
In the state I'm in

How could she say to me
Love will find a way
Gather round all you clowns
Let me hear you say

Hey you've got to hide your love away
Hey you've got to hide your love away




TICKET TO RIDE - THE BEATLES 

I think I'm gonna be sad,
I think it's today, yeah.
The girl that's driving me mad
Is going away.

She's got a ticket to ride,
She's got a ticket to ride,
She's got a ticket to ride,
But she don't care.

She said that living with me
Is bringing her down yeah.
For she would never be free
When I was around.

She's got a ticket to ride,
She's got a ticket to ride,
She's got a ticket to ride,
But she don't care.

I don't know why she's ridin' so high,
She ought to think twice,
She ought to do right by me.
Before she gets to saying goodbye,
She ought to think twice,
She ought to do right by me.

I think I'm gonna be sad,
I think it's today yeah.
The girl that's driving me mad
Is going away, yeah.

She's got a ticket to ride,
She's got a ticket to ride,
She's got a ticket to ride,
But she don't care.

I don't know why she's ridin' so high,
She ought to think twice,
She ought to do right by me.
Before she gets to saying goodbye,
She ought to think twice,
She ought to do right by me.

She said that living with me,
Is bringing her down, yeah.
For she would never be free
When I was around.

Ah, she's got a ticket to ride,
She's got a ticket to ride,
She's got a ticket to ride,
But she don't care.
My baby don't care, my baby don't care.
My baby don't care, my baby don't care.
My baby don't care, my baby don't care.




YESTERDAY - THE BEATLES 

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away
Now it looks as though they're here to stay
Oh, I believe in yesterday.

Suddenly, I'm not half the man I used to be,
There's a shadow hanging over me.
Oh, I yesterday came suddenly.

Why she had to go I don't know she wouldn't say.
I said something wrong, now I long for yesterday.

Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play.
Now I need a place to hide away.
Oh, I believe in yesterday.

Why she had to go I don't know she wouldn't say.
I said something wrong, now I long for yesterday.

Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play.
Now I need a place to hide away.
Oh, I believe in yesterday.
Mm mm mm mm mm mm mm.




NORWEGIAN WOOD (THIS BIRD HAS FLOWN) - THE BEATLES 

I once had a girl, or should I say, she once had me.
She showed me her room, isn't it good, norwegian wood?
She asked me to stay and she told me to sit anywhere,
So I looked around and I noticed there wasn't a chair.
I sat on a rug, biding my time, drinking her wine.
We talked until two and then she said, "It's time for bed".
She told me she worked in the morning and started to laugh.
I told her I didn't and crawled off to sleep in the bath.
And when I awoke I was alone, this bird had flown.
So I lit a fire, isn't it good, norwegian wood.




ELEANOR RIGBY - THE BEATLES 

Ah, look at all the lonely people
Ah, look at all the lonely people

Eleanor Rigby picks up the rice in the church where a wedding has been
Lives in a dream
Waits at the window, wearing the face that she keeps in a jar by the door
Who is it for?

All the lonely people
Where do they all come from ?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong ?

Father McKenzie writing the words of a sermon that no one will hear
No one comes near.
Look at him working. Darning his socks in the night when there's nobody there
What does he care?

All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?

Eleanor Rigby died in the church and was buried along with her name
Nobody came
Father McKenzie wiping the dirt from his hands as he walks from the grave
No one was saved

All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?




YELLOW SUBMARINE - THE BEATLES 

In the town where I was born
Lived a man who sailed to sea
And he told us of his life
In the land of submarines

So we sailed up to the sun
Till we found the sea of green
And we lived beneath the waves
In our yellow submarine

We all live in our yellow submarine,
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine
We all live in our yellow submarine, 
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine

And our friends are all on board
Many more of them live next door
And the band begins to play

We all live in our yellow submarine,
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine
We all live in our yellow submarine,
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine

As we live a life of ease
Everyone of us has all we need
Sky of blue and sea of green
In our yellow submarine.

We all live in our yellow submarine,
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine
We all live in our yellow submarine,
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine
We all live in our yellow submarine,
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine
We all live in our yellow submarine,
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine




A LITTLE HELP FROM MY FRIENDS - THE BEATLES 

What would you think if I sang out of tune,
Would you stand up and walk out on me.
Lend me your ears and I'll sing you a song,
And I'll try not to sing out of key.

I get by with a little help from my friends,
I get high with a little help from my friends,
Going to try with a little help from my friends.

What do I do when my love is away.
(Does it worry you to be alone)
How do I feel by the end of the day
(Are you sad because you're on your own)

No I get by with a little help from my friends,
I get high with a little help from my friends,
Going to try with a little help from my friends.

Do you need anybody,
I need somebody to love.
Could it be anybody
I want somebody to love.

Would you believe in a love at first sight,
Yes I'm certain that it happens all the time.
What do you see when you turn out the light,
I can't tell you, but I know it's mine.

Oh I get by with a little help from my friends,
Get high with a little help from my friends,
Oh I'm going to try with a little help from my friends.

Do you need anybody,
I just need somebody to love,
Could it be anybody,
I want somebody to love.

Oh I get by with a little help from my friends,
Going to try with a little help from my friends,
Oh I get high with a little help from my friends.

Yes I get by with a little help from my friends,
With a little help from my friends.




WHEN I’M SIXTY FOUR - THE BEATLES 

When I get older losing my hair,
Many years from now.
Will you still be sending me a valentine
Birthday greetings bottle of wine.
If I'd been out till quarter to three
Would you lock the door,
Will you still need me, will you still feed me,
When I'm sixty-four.

You'll be older too,
And if you say the word,
I could stay with you.

I could be handy, mending a fuse
When your lights have gone.
You can knit a sweater by the fireside
Sunday mornings go for a ride,
Doing the garden, digging the weeds,
Who could ask for more.
Will you still need me, will you still feed me,
When I'm sixty-four.

Every summer we can rent a cottage,
In the Isle of Wight, if it's not too dear
We shall scrimp and save
Grandchildren on your knee
Vera, Chuck & Dave

Send me a postcard, drop me a line,
Stating point of view
Indicate precisely what you mean to say
Yours sincerely, wasting away
Give me your answer, fill in a form
Mine for evermore
Will you still need me, will you still feed me,
When I'm sixty-four.




WE CAN WORK IT OUT – 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 alright. 
Think of what I'm saying, 
We can work it out and get it straight, or say good night.

We can work it out, 
We can work it out.

Life is very short, and there's no time 
For 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 way 
There's a chance that we may fall apart before too long.

We can work it out,
We can work it out.

Life is very short, and there's no time

While you see it your way 
There's a chance that we may fall apart before too long.

PENNY LANE - THE BEATLES 

In Penny Lane there is a barber showing photographs
Of every head he's had the pleasure to know.
And all the people that come and go
Stop and say hello.

On the corner is a banker with a motorcar,
The little children laugh at him behind his back.
And the banker never wears a mack
In 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 hourglass
And in his pocket is a portrait of the Queen.
He likes to keep his fire engine clean,
It's a clean machine.

Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes.
A four of fish and finger pies
In summer, meanwhile back

Behind the shelter in the middle of a roundabout
The pretty nurse is selling poppies from a tray
And tho' she feels as if she's in a play
She is anyway.

In Penny Lane the barber shaves another customer,
We see the banker sitting waiting for a trim.
And then the fireman rushes in
From 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.
Penny lane is in my ears and in my eyes.
There beneath the blue suburban skies,
Penny Lane.




ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE - THE BEATLES 

Love, Love, Love.
Love, Love, Love.
Love, Love, Love.

There's nothing you can do that can't be done.
Nothing you can sing that can't be sung.
Nothing you can say but you can learn how to play the game.
It's easy.

Nothing you can make that can't be made.
No one you can save that can't be saved.
Nothing you can do but you can learn how to be you in time.
It's easy.

All you need is love.
All you need is love.
All you need is love, love.
Love is all you need.

All you need is love.
All you need is love.
All you need is love, love.
Love is all you need.

Nothing you can know that isn't known.
Nothing you can see that isn't shown.
Nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be.
It's easy.

All you need is love.
All you need is love.
All you need is love, love.
Love is all you need.

All you need is love (All together, now!)
All you need is love. (Everybody!)
All you need is love, love.
Love is all you need (love is all you need).

Yee-hai!
Oh yeah!
She loves you, yeah yeah yeah.
She loves you, yeah yeah yeah.




BACK IN THE U.S.S.R. - THE BEATLES 

Flew in from Miami Beach BOAC
Didn't get to bed last night
On the way the paper bag was on my knee
Man I had a dreadful flight
I'm back in the U.S.S.R.
You don't know how lucky you are boy
Back in the U.S.S.R.

Been away so long I hardly knew the place
Gee it's good to be back home
Leave it till tomorrow to unpack my case
Honey disconnect the phone
I'm back in the U.S.S.R.
You don't know how lucky you are boy
Back in the U.S.S.R.

Well the Ukraine girls really knock me out
They leave the West behind
And Moscow girls make me sing and shout
That Georgia's always on my mind.

I'm back in the U.S.S.R.
You don't know how lucky you are boys
Back in the U.S.S.R.

Show me round your snow peaked mountains way down south
Take me to your daddy's farm
Let me hear your balalaika's ringing out
Come and keep your comrade warm.
I'm back in the U.S.S.R.  You don't know how lucky you are boys
Back in the U.S.S.R.




SOMETHING - THE BEATLES 

Something in the way she moves
Attracts me like no other lover
Something in the way she woos me
I don't want to leave her now
You know I believe and how

Somewhere in her smile she knows
That I don't need no other lover
Something in her style that shows me
Don't want to leave her now
You know I believe and how

You're asking me will my love grow
I don't know, I don't know
You stick around now it may show
I don't know, I don't know

Something in the way she knows
And all I have to do is think of her
Something in the things she shows me
I don't want to leave her now
You know I believe and how




HERE COMES THE SUN - THE BEATLES 

Here comes the sun,
Here comes the sun, and I say
it's all right

Little darling, it's been a long cold lonely winter
Little darling, it feels like years since it's been here
Here comes the sun,
Here comes the sun, and I say
it's all right

Little darling, the smiles returning to the faces
Little darling, it seems like years since it's been here
Here comes the sun,
Here comes the sun, and I say  it's all right

Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...

Little darling, I feel that ice is slowly melting
Little darling, it seems like years since it's been clear
Here comes the sun,
Here comes the sun, and I say
it's all right

Here comes the sun,
Here comes the sun, and I say
it's all right
it's all right




LET IT BE - THE BEATLES 

When I find myself in times of trouble
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
And in my hour of darkness
She is standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
Let it be, let it be.
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.

And when the broken hearted people
Living in the world agree,
There will be an answer, let it be.
For though they may be parted there is
Still a chance that they will see
There will be an answer, let it be.
Let it be, let it be. Yeah
There will be an answer, let it be.

And when the night is cloudy,
There is still a light that shines on me,
Shine on until tomorrow, let it be.
I wake up to the sound of music
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
Let it be, let it be.
There will be an answer, let it be.
Let it be, let it be,
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.




THE LONG AND WINDING ROAD - THE BEATLES 



The long and winding road that leads to your door,
Will never disappear,
I've seen that road before It always leads me here,
leads me to your door.

The wild and windy night the rain washed away,
Has left a pool of tears crying for the day.
Why leave me standing here, let me know the way
Many times I've been alone and many times I've cried
Anyway you'll never know the many ways I've tried, but
Still they lead me back to the long and winding road
You left me standing here a long, long time ago
Don't leave me waiting here, lead me to you door
Da, da, da, da—




RUNNING ON EMPTY - JACKSON BROWNE 

Looking out at the road rushing under my wheels
Looking back at the years gone by like so many summer fields
In sixty-five I was seventeen and running up one-o-one
I don't know where I'm running now, I'm just running on
Running on - running on empty
Running on - running blind
Running on - running into the sun
But I'm running behind

Gotta do what you can just to keep your love alive
Trying not to confuse it with what you do to survive
In sixty-nine I was twenty-one and I called the road my own
I don't know when that road turned onto the road I'm on
Running on - running on empty
Running on - running blind
Running on - running into the sun
But I'm running behind

Everyone I know, everywhere I go
People need some reason to believe
I don't know about anyone but me
If it takes all night, that'll be all right
If I can get you to smile before I leave

Looking out at the road rushing under my wheels
I don't know how to tell you all just how crazy this life feels
I look around for the friends that I used to turn to to pull me through
Looking into their eyes I see them running too
Running on - running on empty
Running on - running blind
Running on - running into the sun
But I'm running behind

Honey you really tempt me
You know the way you look so kind
I'd love to stick around but I'm running behind
You know I don't even know what I'm hoping to find
Running into the sun but I'm running behind




THE ROAD - JACKSON BROWNE 

Highways and dancehalls
A good song takes you far
Your write about the moon
And you dream about the stars
Blues in old motel rooms
Girls in daddy's car
You sing about the nights
And you laugh about the scars
Coffee in the morning cocaine afternoons
You talk about the weather
And you grin about the rooms
Phone calls long distance
To tell how you've been
Forget about the losses, you exaggerate the wins
And when you stop to let 'em know
You've got it down
It's just another town along the road

The ladies come to see you
If your name still rings a bell
They give you damn near nothin'
And they'll say they knew you well
So you tell 'em you'll remember
But they know it's just a game
And along the way their faces
All begin to look the same
And when you stop to let 'em know
You got it down
It's just another town along the road

Well it isn't for the money
And it's only for a while
You stalk about the rooms
And you roll away the miles
Gamblers in the neon, clinging to guitars
You're right about the moon
But you're wrong about the stars
And when you stop to let 'em know
You got it down
It's just another town along the way




ROSIE - JACKSON BROWNE 

She was standing at the load-in
When the trucks rolled up
She was sniffing all around
Like a half grown female pup
She wasn't hard to talk to
Looked like she had nowhere to go
So I gave her my pass
So she could get in and see the show

Well I sat her down right next to me
And I got her a beer
While I mixed that sound on stage
So the band could hear
The more I watched her watch them play
The less I could think of to say
And when they walked off stage
The drummer swept that girl away

But Rosie you're all right -- you wear my ring
When you hold me tight -- Rosie that's my thing
When you turn out the light -- I've got to hand it to me
Looks like it's me and you again tonight Rosie

Well I guess I might have known from the start
She'd come for a star
Might have told my imagination not to run too far
Of all the times that I've been burned
By now you'd think I'd have learned
That it's who you look like
Not who you are

But Rosie you're all right -- you wear my ring
When you hold me tight -- Rosie that's my thing
When you turn out the light -- I've got to hand it to me
Looks like it's me and you again tonight Rosie




YOU LOVE THE THUNDER - JACKSON BROWNE 

When you look over your shoulder
And you see the life that you've left behind
When you think it over do you ever wonder?
What it is that holds your life so close to mine

You love the thunder and you love the rain
What you see revealed within the anger is worth the pain
And before the lightning fades and you surrender
You've got a second to look at the dark side of the man

You love the thunder and you love the rain
You know your hunger like you know your name
And I know you wonder how you ever came
To be a woman in love with a man in search of the flame

Draw the shade and light the fire
For the night that holds you and calls your name
And just like your lover, knows your desire
And the crazy longing that time will never tame

You love the thunder and you love the rain
You know your hunger like you know your name
I got your number if it's still the same
You can dream
But you can never go back the way you came




COCAINE - JACKSON BROWNE 

You take Sally and I'll take Sue
Their ain't no difference between the two
Cocaine, running all 'round my brain

Headin' down Scott, turnin' up Main
Looking for that girl that sells cocaine
Cocaine, runnin' all 'round my brain

Late last night about a quarter past four
Ladanyi come knockin' down my hotel room door
Where's the cocaine--
It's runnin' all 'round my brain

I was talking to my doctor down at the hospital
He said, "Son, it says here you're twenty-seven,
But that's impossible
Cocaine-- you look like you could be forty-five"

Now I'm losing touch with reality and I'm almost out of blow
It's such a fine line-- I hate to see it go
Cocaine, runnin' all 'round my brain




SHAKY TOWN - JACKSON BROWNE 

I've witnessed those one night stands
Must have played in a thousand bands
But I'm just here tonight, tomorrow I'll be gone
Seen folks show their blacker sides
Seen them die just for foolish pride
And those drivers always ask to hear that same old song

That's a big ten-four
From your back door
Just put that hammer down
This young man feels
Those eighteen wheels
That keep turning 'round to take me down to Shaky Town

I've heard all those hard luck tales
From all of you U.S. males
I've heard you tell those lies about the love you've know
And I've followed those highway signs
And I've run down those thin white lines
Like those drivers this old road is all I call my own

That's a big ten-four
From your back door
Just put that hammer down
This young man feels
Those eighteen wheels
That keep turning 'round to take me down to Shaky Town




NOTHING BUT TIME - JACKSON BROWNE 

Rolling down 295 out of Portland, Maine
Still high from the people up there and feeling no pain
Gonna make it to New Jersey, gonna set it up and do it again

I got a bottle of wine (pass it over)
I got a broken white line (I'm still sober)
There ain't nothin but time between this Silver Eagle
And that New Jersey line

Well it's a rock and roll band or a movie you can take your pick
And it ain't bad work if you can get it
But you gotta make it stick
But getting any kind of sleep on this rolling motel--that's the trick

It's just a bottle of wine (pass it over)
It's just a broken white line (I'm still sober)
It's just a whole lot of time in the twilight zone
Between me and these friends of mine




THE LOAD-OUT - JACKSON BROWNE 

Now the seats are all empty
Let the roadies take the stage
Pack it up and tear it down
They're the first to come and last to leave
Working for that minimum wage
They'll set it up in another town
Tonight the people were so fine
They waited there in line
And when they got up on their feet they made the show
And that was sweet--
But I can hear the sound
Of slamming doors and folding chairs
And that's a sound they'll never know

Now roll them cases out and lift them amps
Haul them trusses down and get'em up them ramps
'Cause when it comes to moving me
You guys are the champs
But when that last guitar's been packed away
You know that I still want to play
So just make sure you got it all set to go
Before you come for my piano

But the band's on the bus
And they're waiting to go
We've got to drive all night and do a show in Chicago
or Detroit, I don't know
We do so many shows in a row
And these towns all look the same
We just pass the time in our hotel rooms
And wander 'round backstage
Till those lights come up and we hear that crowd
And we remember why we came

Now we got country and western on the bus
R and B, we got disco in eight tracks and cassettes in stereo
We've got rural scenes & magazines
We've got truckers on the CB
We've got Richard Pryor on the video
We got time to think of the ones we love
While the miles roll away
But the only time that seems too short
Is the time that we get to play

People you've got the power over what we do
You can sit there and wait
Or you can pull us through
Come along, sing the song
You know you can't go wrong
'Cause when that morning sun comes beating down
You're going to wake up in your town
But we'll be scheduled to appear
A thousand miles away from here




STAY - JACKSON BROWNE 

People stay just a little bit longer
We want to play -- just a little bit longer
Now the promoter don't mind
And the union don't mind
If we take a little time
And we leave it all behind and sing
One more song…




AMERICAN PIE – DON MCLEAN 

A long, long time ago... I can still remember how 
That music used to make me smile.
And I knew if I had my chance,
That I could make those people dance,
And maybe they'd be happy for a while. 
But February made me shiver,
With every paper I'd deliver,
Bad news on the doorstep...
I couldn't take one more step. 
I can't remember if I cried
When I read about his widowed bride
But something touched me deep inside,
The day the music died.

Soo..Bye, bye miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
And good ol' boys were drinking whisky and rye?
Singing this will be the day that I die
this will be the day that I die

Did you write the book of love
And do you have faith in God above
If the Bible tells you so
Do you believe in rock n roll
Can music save your mortal soul
Then you can teach me to dance real slow 
Well I know that you're in love with him
'Cause I saw you dancing in the gym
You both kicked off your shoes
Then I dig those rhythm and blues 
I was a lonely teenage broncin' buck
With a pink carnation and a pickup truck
but I knew that I was out of luck
The day the music died  I started singin'...

Bye, bye miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
And good ol' boys were drinking whisky and rye?
Singing this will be the day that I die
this will be the day that I die

Now for 10 years we've been on our own
And moss grows fat on a rolling stone
But that's not how it used to be
When the jester sang for the king and queen
In a coat he borrowed from James Dean
In a voice that came from you and me
And while the King was looking down
The jester stole his thorny crown
The courtroom was adjourned
No verdict was returned 
While Lennon read the book of Marx
The quartet kept practice in the park
And we sang dirges in the dark
The day the music died  We were singin'

Bye, bye miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
And good ol' boys were drinking whisky and rye?
Singing this will be the day that I die
this will be the day that I die

Helter Skelter in a summer swelter
The birds flew off with the fallout shelter
Eight miles high and falling fast 
It landed foul on the grass
The players tried for a forward pass
With the jester on the sidelines in a cast 
Now the halftime air was sweet perfume
While sergeants played a marching tune
We all got up to dance
Oh, but we never got the chance 
'Cause the players tried to take the field,
The marching band refused to yield. 
Do you recall what was revealed,
The day the music died?
We started singing

Bye, bye miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
And good ol' boys were drinking whisky and rye?
Singing this will be the day that I die
this will be the day that I die

There we were all in one place
A generation lost in space
With no time left to start again
So come on Jack be nimble, Jack be quick
Jack Flash sat on a candle stick
'Cause fire is the devil's only friend
As I watched him on the stage 
My hands were clenched in fists of rage
No angel born in hell
Could break that satan's spell
And as flames climbed high into the night 
To light the sacrificial rite
I saw satan laughing with delight
the day the music died.
He was singin’..

Bye, bye miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
And good ol' boys were drinking whisky and rye?
Singing this will be the day that I die
this will be the day that I die

I met a girl who sang the blues
And I asked her for some happy news  
But she just smiled and turned away 
I went down to the sacred store
Where I'd heard the music years before
But the man there said the music wouldn't play 
And in the streets the children screamed
The lovers cried and the poets dreamed
But not a word was spoken
The church bells all were broken
And the three men I admire most
The Father Son and Holy Ghost
They caught the last train for the coast
The day the music died 
They were singin' 

Bye, bye miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
And good ol' boys were drinking whisky and rye?
Singing this will be the day that I die
this will be the day that I die




KNIGHTS IN WHITE SATIN – 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 defend,
Just 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'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, oh how I love you.

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




PLEASANT VALLEY SUNDAY – THE MONKEES 

The local rock group down the street
Is trying hard to learn their song 
Serenade the weekend squire, who just came out to mow his lawn 

Another Pleasant Valley Sunday 
Charcoal burning everywhere 
Rows of houses that are all the same 
And no one seems to care 

See Mrs. Gray she's proud today
because her roses are in bloom 
Mr. Green he's so serene,
He's got a t.v. in every room 

Another Pleasant Valley Sunday 
Here in status symbol land 
Mothers complain about how hard life is 
And the kids just don't understand 

Creature comfort goals 
They only numb my soul and make it hard for me to see
My thoughts all seem to stray, to places far away 
I need a change of scenery Ta Ta Ta...

Another Pleasant Valley Sunday
Charcoal burning everywhere 
Another Pleasant Valley Sunday 
Here in status symbol land 
Another Pleasant Valley Sunday... 




I’M A BELIEVER – THE MONKEES 

I thought love was only true in fairy tales
Meant for someone else but not for me.
Love was out to get me  That's the was it seemed.
Disappointment haunted all my dreams.

Then I saw her face, now I'm a believer
Not a trace of doubt in my mind.
I'm in love, I'm a believer!
I couldn't leave her if I tried.

I thought love was more or less a given thing,
Seems the more I gave the less I got.
What's the use in tryin'? All you get is pain.
When I needed sunshine I got rain.

Then I saw her face, now I'm a believer
Not a trace of doubt in my mind.
I'm in love, I'm a believer!
I couldn't leave her if I tried.

Sent inside forever,
Never seeing no one,
Nice Again,
Like you, Mama

Though of giving it all away
To a registered charity,
All I need is a pint a day.

Well, the rain exploded with a mighty crash
as we fell into the sun.

"I hope you’re having fun!"

And the jailer man and sailor sam,
Were searching ev’ryone,
For the Band on the run,

Seeing no one else had come.
And the bell was ringing in the village square,
For the rabbits on the run.

Well, the night was falling as the dessert world
Began to settle down.
In the town they’re searching ev’rywhere,
But we never will be found.

Band on the run,
Band on the run,
And the County Judge, who held a grudge,
Will search for evermore,
For the Band on the run,
For the Band on the run,
The Band on the run, yeah,
The Band on the run, yeah.

MULL OF KINTYRE - 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 seen,
Dark distant mountains and valleys of green.
Past painted deserts, the sun set’s on fire,
As he carries me home to the Mull of Kintyre.

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

Sweep through the heather like deer in the glen,
Carry me back to the days I knew then.
Night when we sang like a heavenly choir
Of the life and the times of the Mull of Kintyre.

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

Smiles in the sunshine and tears in the rain,
Still takes me back wher my mem’ries remain.
Flickering embers grow higher and higher
As they carry me back to the Mull of Kintyre.

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

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

Ooh hoo!
La la la la – Mull of Kintyre,
La la la la – Mull of Kintyre.




LIFE’S BEEN GOOD – JOE WALSH 

I have a mansion, forget the price.
Ain't never been there, they tell me it's nice.
I live in hotels, tear out the walls.
I have accountants pay for it all.
They say I'm crazy, but I have a good time.
I'm just lookin' for clues at the scene of the crime.
Life's been good to me so far...

My Maserati does 185.
I lost my license, now I don't drive.
I have a limo, ride in the trunk.
I lock the doors in case I get drunk.

I make hit records, my fans they can't wait.
They write Tim letters, tell Glenn Don's great.
So I got me an office, gold records on the wall.
Just leave a message, maybe I'll call.

Lucky I'm sane after all I've been through
Everybody say I'm cool (He's cool).
I can't complain but sometimes I still do.
Life's been good to me so far...

I go to parties sometimes until four.
It's hard to leave when you can't find some more.
It's tough to handle this fortune and fame.
Everybody's so different, we're all insane.

They say I'm lazy, but it takes all my time.
Everybody say "Oh, yeah." (Oh Yeah.)
I keep on going, guess I'll never know why.
Life's been good to me so far...




ROCK MOUNTAIN WAY - JOE WALSH 

Spent the last year
Rocky Mountain Way
Couldn't get much higher
Out to pasture
Think it's safe to say
Time to open fire

And we don't need the ladies
Crying 'cuz the storie's sad
'Cuz the Rocky Mountain Way
Is better than the way we had

Well he's tellin' us this
And he's tellin' us that
Changes it every day
Say's it doesn't matter
Bases are loaded and Casey's at bat
Playin' it play by play
Time to change the batter

And we don't need the ladies
Crying 'cuz the storie's sad, uh huh
Rocky Moutain Way
Is better than the way we had
Hey, hey, hey, hey

 



BRIDGE OVER TROUBLED WATERS – SIMON AND GARFUNKEL 

When you're weary
Feeling small
When tears are in your eyes
I will dry them all

I'm on your side
When times get rough
And friends just can't be found
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down

When you're down and out
When you're on the street
When evening falls so hard
I will comfort you

I'll take your part
When darkness comes
And pain is all around
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down

Sail on Silver Girl,
Sail on by
Your time has come to shine
All your dreams are on their way

See how they shine
If you need a friend
I'm sailing right behind
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind




SOUNDS OF SILENCE – 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 brain
Still 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 night
And 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 share
And 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 fell,
And 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 prophets are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls."
And whisper'd in the sounds of silence.




THE BOXER – SIMON AND GARFUNKEL 

I am just a poor boy.
Though my story's seldom told,
I have squandered my resistance
For a pocket full of mumbles, Such are promises
All lies and jests
Still a man hears what he wants to hear
And disregards the rest.

When I left my home
And my family,
I was no more than a boy
In the company of strangers
In the quiet of the railway station,
Running scared,
Laying low,
Seeking out the poorer quarters
Where the ragged people go
Looking for the places
Only they would know

Lie la lie ...

Asking only workman's wages
I come looking for a job,
But I get no offers,
Just a come-on from the whores
On Seventh Avenue
I do declare,
There were times when I was so lonesome
I took some comfort there.

Lie la lie ...

Then I'm laying out my winter clothes
And wishing I was gone,
Going home
Where the New York City winters
Aren't bleeding me,
Leading me,
Going home.

In the clearing stands a boxer,
And a fighter by his trade
And he carries the reminders
Of ev'ry glove that laid him down
And cut him till he cried out
In his anger and his shame,
"I am leaving, I am leaving."
But the fighter still remains
Lie la lie..........




WHERE DO YOU GO TO MY LOVELY - PETER SARSTED 

You talk like Marlene Dietrich 
And you dance like Zizi Jean-Maire.
Your clothes are all made by Balmain 
And there's diamonds and pearls in your hair.
Yes there are

You live in a fancy apartment
Off the Boulevard St. Michel
Where you keep your Rolling Stones records
And a friend of Sasha Distel.
Yes you do

But where do you go to my lovely, 
When you're alone in your bed. 
Tell me the thoughts that surround you, 
I want to look inside your head. 
Yes I Do

I've seen all your qualifications
That you got from the Sorbonne 
And the painting you stole from Picasso
Your loveliness goes on and on.
Yes it does, 

When you go on your summer vacation,
You go to Juan-les-Pins
With your carefully designed topless swimsuit
You get an even suntan 
On your back and on your legs. 

And when the snow falls you're found in St. Moritz
With the others of the jet set.
And you sip your Napoleon brandy,
but you never get your lips wet.
No you don't

But where do you go to my lovely,
When you're alone in your bed.
Won't you tell me the thoughts that surround you,
I want to look inside your head.
Yes I Do

Your name it is heard in high places
You know the Agha Khan.
He sent you a race horse for Christmas
and you keep it just for fun,
for a laugh, aha aha.

They say that when you get married,
It will be to a millionaire.
But they don't realize where you came from
And I wonder if they really care,
Or give a damn.

Where do you go to my lovely,
When you're alone in your bed.
Tell me the thoughts that surround you,
I want to look inside your head.
Yes I Do

Ah, remember the back streets of Naples,
Two children begging in rags
Both touched with a burning ambition
To shake off their lowly-born tags,
So they try.

So look into my face Marie-Claire
And remember just who you are.
Then go and forget me forever
But I know you still bear the Scar
deep inside, yes, you do.

Ah, I know where you go to my lovely
When you're alone in your bed.
I know the thoughts that surround you,
'Cause I can look inside your head.




YOU’RE SO VAIN – CARLY SIMON 

You walked into the party
Like you were walking onto a yacht
Your hat strategically dipped below one eye
Your scarf it was apricot

You had one eye in the mirror
As you watched yourself gavotte
And all the girls dreamed that they'd be your partner
They'd be your partner, and

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?

You had me several years ago
When I was still quite naive
Well, you said that we made such a pretty pair
And that you would never leave

But you gave away the things you loved
And one of them was me
I had some dreams they were clouds in my coffee
Clouds in my coffee, and

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?

I had some dreams they were clouds in my coffee
Clouds in my coffee, and

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, I hear you went up to Saratoga
And your horse naturally won
Then you flew your Lear jet up to Nova Scotia
To see the total eclipse of the sun

Well, you're where you should be all the time
And when you're not, you're with
Some underworld spy or the wife of a close friend
Wife of a close friend, and

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? Don't you?

You're so vain
You probably think this song is about you
You're so vain
You probably think this song is about you

You're so vain
You probably think this song is about you

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




CATCH THE WIND - DONOVAN  

In the chilly hours and minutes 
of uncertainty I want to be
in the warm hold of your lovin' mind
To feel you all around me,
and to take your hand a long the sand
Ah but I may as well try and catch the wind

When sundown pales the sky 
I want to hide a while behind your smile
And ev'rywhere I'd look, your eyes I'd find
For me to love you now 
would be the sweetest thing t'would make me sing
Ah but I may as well try and catch the wind

When rain has hung the leaves with tears
I want you near to kill my fears
To help me to leave all my blues behind
Standin' in your heart 
is where I want to be and long to be
Ah but I may as well try and catch the wind





COLOURS - DONOVAN 

Yellow is the colour of my true loves hair
in the morning when we rise
in the morning when we rise
That's the time thats the time I love the best

Green's the colour of the sprklin' corn
in the morning when we rise
in the morning when we rise
That's the time thats the time I love the best

Mellow is the feelin' that I get
when I see her Mm hmm
when I see her uh - huh
That's the time thats the time I love the best

Freedom is a word I rarely use
Without thinkin' mm - hmm
without thinkin' mm -hmm
of the time of the time when I've been loved 





YOU'VE GOT A FRIEND - CAROLE KING 

When you're down and troubled and you need some lovin' care
And nothing, nothing is going right 
Close your eyes and think of me and soon I will be there
To brighten up even your darkest nights 

You just call out my name, and you know, wherever I am,
I come running to see you again 
Winter spring summer or fall all you got to do is call
And I'll be there, yes I will
You've got a friend 

If the sky above you grows dark and full of clouds,
and that old north wind begins to blow
Keep your head together, and call my name out loud
Soon you'll hear me knocking at your door

You just call out my name, and you know, wherever I am,
I come running to see you again 
Winter spring summer or fall all you got to do is call
And I'll be there, yes I will
You've got a friend 

Now ain't it good to know that you've got a friend
When people can be so cold
The'll hurt you, yes and desert you and take your soul if you
let them
But don't you let them 

You just call out my name, and you know, wherever I am,
I come running to see you again 
Winter spring summer or fall all you got to do is call
And I'll be there, yes I will
You've got a friend 





IT'S TOO LATE - CAROLE KING 

Stayed in bed all morning just to pass the time
There's something wrong here there can be no denying
One of us is changing or maybe we've just 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 you
You were light and breezy and I knew just what to do
Now you look so unhappy and I feel like a fool

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

There'll be good times again for me and you
But we just can't stay together don't you feel it too
Still I'm glad for what we had, and how I once loved you

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





WHERE YOU LEAD - CAROL KING 

Wanting you the way I do 
I only want to be with you 
And I would go to the ends of the earth
Cause, darling, to me that's you're worth 

Where you lead, I will follow 
Anywhere that you tell me to 
If you need, you need me to be with you
I will follow where you lead 

If you're out on the road 
Feeling lonely, and so cold 
All you have to do is call my name
And I'll be there on the next train 

Where you lead, I will follow 
Anywhere that you tell me to 
If you need, you need me to be with you
I will follow where you lead 

I always wanted a real home with flowers on the window sill 
But if you want to live in New York City, honey, you know I will
I never thought I could get satisfaction from just one man 
But if anyone can keep me happy, you're the one who can 

And where you lead, I will follow 
Anywhere that you tell me to 
If you need, you need me to be with you
I will follow where you lead 





NEW WORLD IN THE MORNING - ROGER WHITTAKER  

Everybody talks about a new world in the morning new world in the morning,
so they sa-a-a-ay

THREE STEPS TO HEAVEN – EDDIE COCHRAN 

Now there are three steps to heaven
Just listen and you will plainly see
And as I travel on and things go wrong
Just call it steps one, two and three.

The formula for heaven's very simple.
Just follow the rules and you will see
And as I travel on and things go wrong
Just call it steps one, two and three.

Step one, you find a girl to love.
Step two, She falls in love with you
Step three, you kiss and hold her tightly
Yeah! that sure seems like heaven to me.




STONEY END – BARBARA STRIESAND 

I was born from love
And my poor mother worked the mines  
I was raised on the good book Jesus  
Till I read between the lines  
Now I don't believe I want to see the mornin' 
Going down to stoney end 
I never wanted to go down to stoney end 
Mama let me start all over 
Cradle me 
Mama cradle me again

I can still remember him 
With lovelight in his eyes  
But the light flickered out and parted  
As the sun began to rise 
Now I don't believe I want to see the mornin' 
Going down to stoney end 
I never wanted to go down to stoney end 
Mama let me start all over 
Cradle me  
Mama cradle me again  

Never mind the forecast
'Cause the sky has lost control  
'Cause the fury and the broken thunder's 
Come to match my ragin' soul 
Now I don't believe I want to see the mornin' 
Going down to stoney end 
I never wanted to go down to stoney end 
Mama let me start all over 
Cradle me 
Mama cradle me again 




MY WAY – FRANK SINATRA 

And now, the end is near;
And so I face the final curtain.
My friend, I'll say it clear,
I'll state my case, of which I'm certain.

I've lived a life that's full.
I've traveled each and ev'ry highway;
But more, much more than this,
I did it my way.

Regrets, I've had a few;
But then again, too few to mention.
I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exemption.

I planned each charted course;
Each careful step along the byway,
But more, much more than this,
I did it my way.

Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew.
But through it all, when there was doubt,
I ate it up and spit it out.
I faced it all and I stood tall;
And did it my way.

I've loved, I've laughed and cried.
I've had my fill; my share of losing.
And now, as tears subside,
I find it all so amusing.
To think I did all that;
And may I say - not in a shy way,
"No, oh no not me,
I did it my way".

For what is a man, what has he got?
If not himself, then he has naught.
To say the things he truly feels;
And not the words of one who kneels.
The record shows I took the blows -
And did it my way!




SCARBOROUGH FAIR - SIMON & GARFUNKLE 

Are you going to Scarborough Fair
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Remember me to one who lives there
For once she was a true love of mine

Have her make me a cambric shirt
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Without no seam nor fine needle work
And then she'll be a true love of mine

Tell her to weave it in a sycamore wood lane
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
And gather it all with a basket of flowers
And then she'll be a true love of mine
Have her wash it in yonder dry well
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
where water ne'er sprung nor drop of rain fell
And then she'll be a true love of mine

Have her find me an acre of land
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Between the sea foam and over the sand
And then she'll be a true love of mine

Plow the land with the horn of a lamb
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Then sow some seeds from north of the dam
And then she'll be a true love of mine

Tell her to reap it with a sickle of leather
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
And gather it all in a bunch of heather
And then she'll be a true love of mine

If she tells me she can't, I'll reply
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Let me know that at least she will try
And then she'll be a true love of mine

Love imposes impossible tasks
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Though not more than any heart asks
And I must know she's a true love of mine

Dear, when thou has finished thy task
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Come to me, my hand for to ask
For thou then art a true love of mine





THE BOYS OF SUMMER - DON HENLEY  

Nobody on the road 
Nobody on the beach 
I feel it in the air 
The summer's out of reach 
Empty lake, empty streets 
The sun goes down alone 
I'm drivin' by your house 
Though I know you're not home 
But I can see you, your brown skin shinin' in the sun 
You got your hair combed back and your sunglasses on, baby 
And I can tell you my love for you will still be strong 
After the boys of summer have gone 

I never will forget those nights, I wonder if it was a dream 
Remember how you made me crazy 
Remember how I made you scream 
Now I don't understand what happened to our love 
But babe, I'm gonna get you back 
I'm gonna show you what I'm made of 

I can see you, your brown skin shinin' in the sun 
I see you walkin' real slow and you're smilin' at everyone 
I can tell you my love for you will still be strong 
After the boys of summer have gone 

Out on the road today, 
I saw a Dead-head sticker on a Cadillac 
A little voice inside my head said 
Don't look back, you can never look back 

I thought I knew what love was, What did I know 
Those days are gone forever I should just let them go but 
I can see you, your brown skin shinin' in the sun 
You got that top pulled down and that radio on, baby 

And I can tell you my love for you will still be strong 
After the boys of summer have gone 
I can see you, your brown skin shinin' in the sun 
You got that hair slicked back and those Wayfarers on, baby 

I can tell you my love for you will still be strong 
After the boys of summer have gone...





MAKE ME SMILE (COME UP AND SEE ME) - STEVE HARLEY 

You've done it all, you've broken every code
And pulled the rebel to the floor
You spoilt the game, no matter what you say
For only metal - what a bore!

Blue eyes, blue eyes, how come you tell so many lies? 
Come up and see me, make me smile
Or do what you want, run on wild 
There's nothing left, all gone and run away

Maybe you'll tarry for a while
It's just a test, a game for us to play
Win or lose, it's hard to smile
Resist, resist, it's from yourself you have to hide 

Come up and see me, make me smile
Or do what you want, run on wild 
There ain't no more, you've taken everything
From my believe in Mother Earth

How can you ignore my faith in everything
When I know what Faith is and what it's worth
Away, away, and don't say maybe you'll try 
Come up and see me, make me smile

Or do what you want, run on wild





JUMPIN’ JACK FLASH - ROLLING STONES  

I was born in a cross-fire hurricane
And I howled at my ma in the driving rain
But it's all right now, in fact, it's a gas!
But it's all right now, I'm Jumpin' Jack Flash
It's a gas! Gas! Gas! 

I was raised by a toothless, bearded hag
I was schooled with a strap right across my back
But it's all right now, in fact, it's a gas!
But it's all right now, I'm Jumpin' Jack Flash
It's a gas! Gas! Gas! 

I was drowned, I was washed up and left for dead
I fell down to my feet and I saw they bled
I frowned at the crumbs of a crust of bread
I was crowned with a spike right thru my head
But it's all right now, in fact, it's a gas!
But it's all right now, I'm Jumpin' Jack Flash
It's a gas! Gas! Gas!
Jumpin' Jack Flash, it's a gas





MISS YOU - ROLLING STONES  

I've been holding out so long
I've been sleeping all alone
Lord I miss you
I've been hanging on the phone
I've been sleeping all alone
I want to kiss you

Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
Oooh oooh oooh

Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
Oooh oooh oooh oooh

Well, I've been haunted in my sleep
You've been starring in my dreams
Lord I miss you
I've been waiting in the hall
Been waiting on your call
When the phone rings
It's just some friends of mine that say,
"Hey, what's the matter man?
We're gonna come around at twelve
With some Puerto Rican girls that are just dyin' to meet you.
We're gonna bring a case of wine
Hey, let's go mess and fool around
You know, like we used to"

Aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah
Aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah
Aaah aaah aaah aaah

Oh everybody waits so long
Oh baby why you wait so long
Won't you come on! Come on!

I've been walking Central Park
Singing after dark
People think I'm crazy
I've been stumbling on my feet
Shuffling through the street
Asking people,
"What's the matter with you boy?"
Sometimes I want to say to myself
Sometimes I say

Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
Oooh oooh oooh

Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh

I won't miss you child
I guess I'm lying to myself
It's just you and no one else
Lord I won't miss you child
You've been blotting out my mind
Fooling on my time
No, I won't miss you, baby, yeah

Lord, I miss you child

Aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah
Aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah
Aaah aaah aaah aaah

Lord, I miss you child

Aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah
Aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah
Aaah aaah aaah aaah

Lord, I miss you child

Aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah
Aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah
Aaah aaah aaah aaah.





STUCK IN THE MIDDLE WITH YOU - STEALERS WHEEL 

Well I don't know why I came here tonight
I got the feeling that something ain't right
I'm so scared in case I fall of my chair
And I'm wondering how I'll get down the stairs
Clowns to the left of me
Jokers to the right
Here I am 
Stuck in the middle with you

Yes I am stuck in the middle with you
And I'm wondering what it is I should do
It's so hard to keep this smile from my face
Losing joy yer, I'm all over the place

Clowns to the left of me
Jokers to the right
Here I am 
Stuck in the middle with you

Clowns to the left of me
Jokers to the right
Here I am 
Stuck in the middle with you

Well you started off with nothing
And you're proud that you're a self made man
And your filthy uncle calling 
Slap you on the back and say
Please!
Please! 

Tried to make some sense at all
But I can see it makes no sense at all
Is it cool to go to sleep on the floor?
You don't think that I can take anymore

Clowns to the left of me
Jokers to the right
Here I am 
Stuck in the middle with you

Well you started off with nothing
And you're proud that you're a self made man
And your filthy uncle calling 
Slap you on the back and say
Please!
Please! 

Clowns to the left of me
Jokers to the right
Here I am 
Stuck in the middle with you

Yes I'm stuck in the middle with you
Stuck in the middle of you
Here I am stuck in the middle with you





PEGGY SUE - BUDDY HOLLY  

If you knew Peggy Sue,
then you'd know why I feel blue 
About Peggy, 'bout Peggy Sue 
Oh, well, I love you gal, yes, I love you Peggy Sue 

Peggy Sue, Peggy Sue,

GOING UNDERGROUND - THE JAM 

Some people might say my life is in a rut,
But I'm quite happy with what I got
People might say that I should strive for more,
But I'm so happy I can't see the point. 

Somethings happening here today
A show of strength with your boy's brigade 
and I'm so happy and you're so kind
You want more money, of course I don't mind
To buy nuclear textbooks for atomic crimes 

And the public gets what the public wants
But I want nothing this society's got 
I'm going underground (going underground)
Well the brass bands play and feet start to pound
Going underground (going underground)
Well let the boys all sing and let the boys all shout for tomorrow 

Some people might get some pleasure out of hate
Me, I've enough already on my plate
People might need some tension to relax
Me, I'm too busy dodging between the flak 

What you see here is what you get
You've made your bed, you better lie in it
You choose your leaders and place your trust
As their lies wash you down and their promises rust
You'll see kidney machines replaced by rockets and guns 

And the public wants what the public gets
But I don't get what this society wants
I'm going underground (going underground)
Well let the brass bands play and feet start to pound
Going underground (going underground)
So let the boys all sing and the boys all shout for tomorrow 

We talk and talk until my head explodes
I turn on the news and my body froze
These braying sheep on my TV screen
Make this boy shout, make this boy scream

Going underground, I'm going underground
I'm going underground, I'm going underground
These braying sheep on my tv screen...
Make this boy shout, make this boy scream...
Going underground (going underground)

Well let the brass band play and feet start to pound
Going underground (going underground)
Well let the boys all sing, and the boys all shout
Going underground (going underground)
Well let the brass band play and feet go pow pow pow
Going underground (going underground)
So let the boys all sing and let the boys all shout.....
.....for tomorrow





OCTOPUS’S GARDEN - THE BEATLES  

I'd like to be under the sea
In an octopus's garden in the shade.
He'd let us in, knows where we've been,
In his octopus's garden in the shade.
I'd ask my friends to come and see
An octopus's garden with me.
I'd like to be under the sea
In an octopus's garden in the shade. 

We would be warm below the storm
In our little hideaway beneath the waves. 
Resting our head on the sea bed, 
In an octopus's garden near a cave
We would sing and dance around
Beacause we know we can't be found. 

I'd like to be under the sea
In an octopus's garden in the shade. 
We would shout and swim about 
The coral that lies beneath the waves.
Oh what joy for every girl and boy
Knowing they're happy and they're safe.

We would be so happy, you and me.
No one there to tell us what to do. 
I'd like to be under the sea
In an octopus's garden with you. 
In an octopus's garden with you. 
In an octopus's garden with you. 





SUNNY AFTERNOON - THE KINKS 

The taxman's taken all my dough
And left me in my stately home
Lazing on a sunny afternoon 

And I can't sail my yacht
He's taken everything I've got
All I've got's this sunny afternoon 

Save me, save me, save me from this squeeze 
I got a big fat mama trying to break me 
And I love to live so pleasantly
Live this life of luxury 
Lazing on a sunny afternoon 
In a summertime, in a summertime, in a summertime 

My girlfriend's run off with my car
And gone back to her Ma and Pa
Telling tales of drunkenness and cruelty 
Now I'm sitting here
Sipping at my ice cool beer
Lazing on a sunny afternoon 

Help me, help me, help me sail away
Well give me two good reasons why I ought to stay 
'Cause I love to live so pleasantly
Live this life of luxury
Lazing on a sunny afternoon
In a summertime, in a summertime, in a summertime 

Save me, save me, save me from this squeeze 
I got a big fat mama trying to break me 
And I love to live so pleasantly
Live this life of luxury 
Lazing on a sunny afternoon 
In a summertime, in a summertime, in a summertime 
In a summertime, in a summertime 




HE AINT HEAVY, HE’S MY BROTHER - THE HOLLIES 

The road is long, with many a winding turn, 
that leads us to who knows where, who knows where 
but I'm strong, strong enough to carry him, 
he ain't heavy he's my brother.

So on we go, his welfare is my concern, 
no burden is he, to bear, we'll get there. 
For I know, he would not encumber me, 
he aint heavy, he's my brother, 

If I'm laden at all, I'm laden with sadness, 
that everyone's heart, isn't filled, 
with the gladness, of love, for one another. 

It`s a long, long road, from which there is no return, 
while we`re on the way to there, why not share? 
And the load, doesn't weigh me down, at all, 
he ain't heavy, he's my brother 
he ain't heavy, he's my brother, 
he ain't heavy, he's my brother. 





OLIVER’S ARMY - ELVIS COSTELLO 

Don't start that talking
I could talk all night
My mind goes sleep walkin'
While I'm puttin' the world to right
Call careers information
Got yourself an occupation

Oliver's army is here to stay
Oliver's army are on their way
And I would rather be anywhere else
Than here today

There was a checkpoint Charlie
He didn't pack a smile
But it's no laughing party
When you've been on the murder mile
Only takes one inch of trigger
One more widow, one less white nigger

Oliver's army is here to stay
Oliver's army are on their way
And I would rather be anywhere else
Than here today

Hong Kong is up for grabs
London is full of arabs
We could be in Palestine
Overrun by the chinese line
With the boys from the mersey
And the thames and the tyne

But there's no danger
It's a professional carrer
Though it could be arranged
With just a word in Mr. Churchill's ear
If you're out of luck or out of work
We could send you to Johannesburg

Oliver's army is here to stay
Oliver's army are on their way
And I would rather be anywhere else
Than here today
And I would rather be anywhere else
Than here today
And I would rather be...





GOLDEN BROWN - THE STRANGLERS 

Golden brown texture like sun
Lays me down with my mind she runs
Throughout the night
No need to fight
Never a frown with golden brown

Every time just like the last
On her ship tied to the mast
To distant lands
Takes both my hands
Never a frown with golden brown

Golden brown finer temptress
Through the ages she's heading west
From far away
Stays for a day
Never a frown with golden brown

Never a, never a, never a frown
With golden, with golden brown 

Never a, never a, never a frown
With golden, with golden brown 

Never a, never a, never a frown
With golden, with golden brown 

Never a, never a, never a frown
With golden, with golden brown 

Never a, never a, never a frown ..... 





MR TAMBORINE MAN - BOB DYLAN 

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 sand,
Vanished from my hand,
Left me blindly here to stand but still not sleeping.
My weariness amazes me, I'm branded on my feet,
I have no one to meet
And the ancient empty street's too dead for dreaming.

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.

Take me on a trip upon your magic swirlin' ship,
My senses have been stripped, my hands can't feel to grip,
My 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 fade
Into my own parade, cast your dancing spell my way,
I promise to go under it.

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 you might hear laughin', spinnin', swingin' madly across the sun,
It's not aimed at anyone, it's just escapin' on the run
And but for the sky there are no fences facin'.
And if you hear vague traces of skippin' reels of rhyme
To your tambourine in time, it's just a ragged clown behind,
I wouldn't pay it any mind, it's just a shadow you're
Seein' that he's chasing.

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.

Then take me disappearin' through the smoke rings of my mind,
Down the foggy ruins of time, far past the frozen leaves,
The haunted, frightened trees, out to the windy beach,
Far from the twisted reach of crazy sorrow.
Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free,
Silhouetted by the sea, circled by the circus sands,
With all memory and fate driven deep beneath the waves,
Let me forget about today until tomorrow.

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.





LEAVING ON A JET PLANE - JOHN DENVER 

All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go, 
I'm standin' here outside your door,
I hate to wake you up to say goodbye
But the dawn is breakin', it's early morn, 
the taxi's waitin', he's blowin his horn,
already I'm so lone some I could die 

So kiss me and smile for me,
tell me that you'll wait for me
hold me like you'll never let me go
'cause I'm leaving on a jet plane,
don't know when I'll be back again
oh babe, I hate to go... 

There's so many times I've let you down, 
so many times I've played around,
I tell you now they don't mean a thing
Every place I go I'll think for you, 
ev'ry song I sing, I sing for you,
when I'll come back I'll bring your wedding ring 

So kiss me and smile for me,
tell me that you'll wait for me
hold me like you'll never let me go
'cause I'm leaving on a jet plane,
don't know when I'll be back again
oh babe, I hate to go... 

Now the time has come to leave you 
one more time let me kiss you,
close your eyes, I'll be on my way
Dream about the days to come 
when I won't have to leave alone,
about the times I won't have to say : 

So kiss me and smile for me,
tell me that you'll wait for me
hold me like you'll never let me go
'cause I'm leaving on a jet plane,
don't know when I'll be back again
oh babe, I hate to go... 





BOTH SIDES NOW - JONI MITCHELL 

Rows and flow of angel hair 
And ice cream castles in the air 
And feather canyons everywhere, 
I've looked at clouds 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 clouds illusions I recall. 
I really don't know clouds at all. 

Moons and Junes and Ferris wheels 
The dizzy dancing way you feel 
As every fairy tale comes real, 
I've looked at love that way, 

But now it's just another show. 
You leave them laughing when you go. 
And if you care, don't let them know, 
Don't give yourself away 

I've looked at love from both sides now. 
From give and take, and still somehow, 
It's loves illusions I recall. 
I really don't know love at all. 

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. 
Well something's lost, but something's gained, 
In living every day. 

I've looked at life from both sides now. 
From win and lose and still somehow, 
It's life's elusions I recall. 
I really don't know life at all.





DURHAM TOWN - ROGER WHITTAKER 

I've gotta leave old Durham town 
I've gotta leave old Durham town 
I've gotta leave old Durham town 
And that leavin's going to get me down

Back in 1944
I remember Daddy walking out the door
Mama told me he was going to war
He was leaving Leaving, leaving, leaving, leaving me.

I've gotta leave old Durham town 
I've gotta leave old Durham town 
I've gotta leave old Durham town 
And that leavin's going to get me down

When I was a boy I spent my time
Sitting on the banks of the River Thyme
Watching all the ships going down the line
They were leaving Leaving, leaving, leaving, leaving me.

I've gotta leave old Durham town 
I've gotta leave old Durham town 
I've gotta leave old Durham town 
And that leavin's going to get me down

Last week Mama passed away 
"Goodbye Son," was all she'd say
There's no cause for me to stay
So I'm leaving Leaving, leaving, leaving, leaving leaving. 

I've gotta leave old Durham town 
I've gotta leave old Durham town 
I've gotta leave old Durham town 
And that leavin's going to get me down





THE UNIVERSE SONG - MONTY PYTHON 

Whenever life get's you down, Mrs. Brown, 
And things seem hard or tough. 
When people are stupid, obnoxious or daft, 
And you feel that you've had quite enough... 

Just remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving. 
Revolving at nine hundred miles an hour. 
It's orbiting at nineteen miles a second, so it's reckoned, 
The sun that is the source of all our power. 

The sun and you and me, and all the stars that we can see, 
Are moving at a million miles a day 
In an outer spiral arm at forty thousand miles an hour 
Of the galaxy we call the milky way. 

The galaxy itself contains a hundred billion stars. 
It's a hundred thousand lightyears side-to-side. 
It bulges in the middle, sixteen thousand lightyears thick, 
But out by us it's just three thousand lightyears wide. 

We're thirty thousand lightyears from galactic central point. 
We go 'round every two hundred million years. 
And our galaxy is only one of millions of billions 
In this amazing and expanding universe. 

[musical, animated interlude] 

The universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding 
In all of the directions it can whizz. 
As fast as it can go, at the speed of light, you know? 
Twelve million miles a minute and that's the fastest speed there is. 

So remember when you're feeling very small and insecure, 
How amazingly unlikely is your birth 
And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere up in space, 
'Cause there's bugger all down 'ere on Earth! 





THE LUMBERJACK SONG - MONTY PYTHON 

I never wanted to do this job in the first place!
I... I wanted to be...

A LUMBERJACK!

(piano vamp)

Leaping from tree to tree! As they float down the mighty 
rivers of British Columbia! With my best girl by my side!
The Larch!
The Pine!
The Giant Redwood tree!
The Sequoia!
The Little Whopping Rule Tree!
We'd sing! Sing! Sing!

Oh, I'm a lumberjack, and I'm okay,
I sleep all night and I work all day.

He's a lumberjack, and he's okay,
He sleeps all night and he works all day.

I cut down trees, I eat my lunch,
I go to the lava-try.
On Wednesdays I go shoppin'
And have buttered scones for tea.

Mounties: He cuts down trees, he eats his lunch,
He goes to the lava-try.
On Wednesdays 'e goes shoppin'
And has buttered scones for tea.

He's a lumberjack, and he's okay,
He sleeps all night and he works all day.

I cut down trees, I skip and jump,
I like to press wild flowers.
I put on women's clothing,
And hang around in bars.

Mounties: He cuts down trees, he skips and jumps,
He likes to press wild flowers.
He puts on women's clothing
And hangs around.... In bars???????

He's a lumberjack, and he's okay,
He sleeps all night and he works all day.

I chop down trees, I wear high heels,
Suspendies and a bra.
I wish I'd been a girlie
Just like my dear papa.

Mounties: He cuts down trees, he wears high heels
Suspendies?? and a .... a Bra????
(spoken, raggedly) What's this? 
Wants to be a *girlie*? Oh, My!
And I thought you were so rugged! Poofter!

He's a lumberjack, and he's okay,
He sleeps all night and he works all day.

All: He's a lumberjack, and he's okaaaaaaayyy..... (BONG)

==========================================================
Dear Sir,
I wish to complain on the strongest possible terms 
about the previous entry in this file about the lumberjack 
who wears womens' clothes. Some of my best friends are 
lumberjacks, and only a FEW of them are transvestites.

Yours faithfully,
Brigadier Sir Charles Arthur Strong, Mrs.

P.S. I have never kissed the editor of the radio times.

SHE’S ALWAYS A WOMAN - BILLY JOEL 

She can kill with a smile
She can wound with her eyes
She can ruin your faith
With her casual lies
And she'll only reveal
What she wants you to see
She hides like a child
But she's always a woman to me

She can lead you to love
She can take you or leave you
She can ask for the truth
But she'll never believe you
And she'll take what you give her
As long as it's free
Yeah, she steals like a thief
But she's always a woman to me

Oh, she takes care of herself
She can wait if she wants
She's ahead of her time
Oh, and she never gives out
And she never gives in
She just changes her mind

And she'll promise you more than the Garden of Eden
Then she'll carelessly cut you
And laugh while you're bleeding
But she'll bring out the best
And the worst you can be
Blame it all on yourself
'Cause she's always a woman to me

Oh, she takes care of herself
She can wait if she wants
She's ahead of her time
Oh, and she never gives out
And she never gives in
She just changes her mind

She is frequently kind
And she's suddenly cruel
She can do as she pleases
She's nobody's fool
But she can't be convicted
She's earned her degree
And the most she will do
Is throw shadows at you
But she's always a woman to me
Hmmm





EVERBODY’S TALKIN’ - HARRY NILSSON 

Everybody's talkin' at me
I don't hear a word their sayin'
Only the echos of my mind
People stop and stare
I can't see their faces
Only the shadows of their eyes 

I'm goin' where the sun keeps shinin'
Through the pourin' rain
Goin where the weather suits my clothes
Bankin off of the northeast winds
Sailin on summer breeze
And skippin over the ocean like a stone
I'm goin' where the sun keeps shinin'
Through the pourin' rain
Goin where the weather suits my clothes
Bankin off of the northeast winds
Sailin on summer breeze
And skippin over the ocean like a stone 

Everybody's talkin' at me
Can't hear a word their sayin'
Only the echos of my mind
I won't let you leave my love behind
No i won't let you leave
I won't let you leave my love behind





TEENAGE DIRTBAG - WHEATUS 

Her name is Noelle.
I have a dream about her.
She rings my bell.
I got gym class in hell.
For an hour..Oh how she rocks.
in Keds and tube socks.

But she doesn't know who I am.
And she doesn't give a damn about me.

Cause I'm just a teenage dirtbag, baby.
Yeah, I'm just a teenage dirtbag, baby.
Listen to Iron Rain and maybe with me.

Her boyfriend's a dick
and he brings a gun to school.
He'd simply kick
my ass if he knew the truth.
He lives on my block
and he drives and I rock.
But he doesn't know who I am
and he doesn't give a damn about me.

Cause I'm just a teenage dirtbag baby.
Yeah, I'm just a teenage dirtbag baby.
Listen to Iron Rain, and maybe with me.

Oh yeah, dirtbag. No, she doesn't know what she's missing.
Oh yeah, Dirtbag. No, she doesn't know what she's missing.

Man, I feel like mold.
It's prom night and I am lonely.
Low and behold, she's walking over to me.
This must be fake, my lip starts to shake.
How does she know who I am?
And why does she give a damn about me?

( I'n girl's voice)
" I've got two tickets to Iron Rain, and maybe.
Come with me Friday don't say maybe.
I'm just a teenage dirtbag baby, like you"

Oh yeah, dirtbag. No, she doesn't know what's she's missing.
Oh yeah, dirtbag. No, she doesn't know what's she's missing.
