Summer journeys to Niag'ra
and to other places aggra-
vate all our cares.
We'll save our fares!
I've a cozy little flat in
what is known as old Manhattan
we'll settle down
right here in town!
We'll have Manhattan
the Bronx and Staten
Island too.
It's lovely going through
the zoo!
It's very fancy
on old Delancy
street you know.
The subway charms us so
when balmy breezes blow
to and fro.
And tell me what street
compares with Mott Street
in July?
Sweet pushcarts gently gli-ding by.
The great big city's a wonderous toy
just made for a girl and boy.
We'll turn Manhattan
into an isle of joy!
We'll go to Yonkers
Where true love conquers
In the whiles
And starve together dear, in Chiles
We'll go to Coney
And eat baloney on a roll
In Central Park we'll stroll
Where our first kiss we stole
Soul to soul
And "My Fair Lady" is a terrific show they say
We both may see it close, some day
The city's glamour can never spoil
The dreams of a boy and goil
We'll turn Manhattan
Jo Jo was a man who thought he was a loner,
But he knew it couldn't last.

for some California grass.

(Get back Jo Jo)
Get back!

Sweet Loretta Martin
thought she was a woman,
But she was another man.
All the girls around her
say she's got it coming
But she gets it while she can.
Get back!
Get back!
Get back to where you once belonged
Get back!
Get back!
Get back to where you once belonged.
(Get back Jo Jo)
Get back!
Get back!
Get back to where you once belonged
Get back!
Get back!
Get back to where you once belonged.
Spoken ad lib:
Get back, Loretta, your momma's waitin' for you
Wearin' her high hell shoes and a low neck sweater.
Angel came down from heaven yesterday
stayed with me long enough to rescue me
And she told me a story yesterday
about the sweet love between the moon and the deep blue sea
Then she spread her wings high over me
she said sheÚFFFF92s goin' now, come back tomorrow
And I said, "Fly on my sweet angel, fly on through the sky
Fly on my sweet angel tomorrow IÚFFFF92m gonna be by your side"
Fly away, high away, fly away
Sure enough this morning came unto me
silver wings silhouetted against a childÚFFFF92s sunrise
And my angel she said unto me
TodayÚFFFF92s the day for you to rise
Take my hand, youÚFFFF92re gonna be my man, youÚFFFF92re gonna rise
Then she took me high over yonder
And I said, "Fly on my sweet angel, fly on through the sky
Fly on my sweet angel forever I will be by your side"
And I said, "Fly on my sweet angel, fly on through the sky
Fly on my sweet angel forever I will be by your side"
Pay-day Friday and the weekend's here
I've been workin' all week tryin' to pay for this gear
Gonna raise Hell on Union Street
Thirteen guys and a packet of three
And if I don't get laid I'll sure die tryin'
Tonight this city's gonna be all mine
I wanna talk about motorbikes, cars and things
No sophistication or designer jeans
I'm no angel, but I know what I like
A little rough and tumble on a Friday night
I'm like a cornered rat, I gotta explode
Goodbye baby don't know when I'll be home
Tora, Tora, Tora, out with the boys
Tora, Tora, Tora, out with the boys
Tora, Tora, Tora, out with the boys tonight
By eleven o'clock I'll be flyin' high
Ain't nothing in the world that I won't try
Jimmy got smashed, took his trousers off
Barman said, " You boys have had enough
Join the army, get yourself a decent job"
Indecent exposure in a parking lot
Tora, Tora, Tora, out with the boys
Tora, Tora, Tora, out with the boys
Tora, Tora, Tora, out with the boys tonight
Tora, Tora, Tora, out with the boys
Tora, Tora, Tora, out with the boys
Tora, Tora, Tora, out with the boys tonight
Bundle on the dance floor, a jaw got bust
Swear to God that it wasn't one of us
A seven foot bouncer called the police
We got pulled in for disturbing the peace
Well if you can't take a joke
Then there ain't no point in living
Sunday morning I woke up laughin'
Tora, Tora, Tora, out with the boys
Tora, Tora, Tora, out with the boys
Tora, Tora, Tora, out with the boys tonight
What d' you say?
Tora, Tora, Tora, where's my old man?
Tora, Tora, Tora, where's my old man?
Tora, Tora, Tora, out with the boys
Tora, Tora, Tora, out with the boys
Tora, Tora, Tora, out with the boys
Tora, Tora, Tora, out with the boys tonight
Tora, Tora, Tora, out with the boys
Tora, Tora, Tora, out with the boys
Tora, Tora, Tora, out with the boys
Some day, when I'm awfully low,
When the world is cold,
I will feel a glow just thinking of you
And the way you look tonight.
You're lovely, with your smile so warm
And your cheeks so soft,
There is nothing for me but to love you,
And the way you look tonight.
With each word your tenderness grows,
Tearing my fears apart
And that laugh that wrinkles your nose,
Touches my foolish heart.
Yes you're lovely, never, ever change
Keep that breathless charm.
Won't you please arrange it?
'Cause I love you
Just the way you look tonight.
With each word your tenderness grows,
Tearing my fears apart
And that laugh that wrinkles your nose,
Touches my foolish heart.
Yes you're lovely, never, ever change
Keep that breathless charm.
Won't you please arrange it?
'Cause I love you
Just the way you look tonight.
Just the way you look tonight.
Darling
The very thought of you
And I forget to do
The little ordinary things
That everyone ought to do
I'm living in a kind of daydream
I'm happy as a king and foolish
Though it may seem to me
That's everything
The mere idea of you
The longing here for you
You'll never know
How slow the moments go
Till I'm near to you
I see your face in every flower
You eyes in stars above
It's just the thought of you
The very thought of you my love
The mere idea of you
The longing here for you
You'll never know
How slow the moments go
Till I'm near to you
I see your face in every flower
You eyes in stars above
It's just the thought of you
The very thought of you my love
The very thought of you my love
It's not the pale moon that excites me
That thrills and delights me, oh no
It's just the nearness of you
It isn't your sweet conversation
That brings this sensation, oh no
It's just the nearness of you
When you're in my arms and I feel you so close to me
All my wildest dreams come true
I need no soft lights to enchant me
But if you'll only grant me the right
To hold you ever so tight
And to feel in the night ooh the nearness of you
When you're in my arms and I feel you so close to me
All my wildest dreams come true
I need no soft lights to enchant me
But if you'll only grant me the right
To hold you ever so tight
Bring over some of your old Motown records
We'll put the speakers in the window and we'll go
On the roof and listen to the miracles
Echo to the alley down below
Let's dance together just for the night
Let's don't worry about the future or nothin' else
'Cause just like the music's sayin' you gotta take chances
Go ahead just do it and trust yourself
There's a soul in the city
Watching over us tonight
There's a soul in the city
Saying everything's gonna be all right
So bring over some of your old Motown records
We'll put the speakers in the window and we'll go
On the roof and listen to the miracles
Echo to the alley down below
They wish us luck but they think we're just dreaming
Let's prove them wrong baby
'Cause you know what luck is, luck is believing you're lucky
That's all and showing just a little bit of faith
There's a soul in the city
Watching over us I swear
There's a soul in the city
There's a whole world waiting out there
Listen, I got plans for us, playing like a skip on a record
Through my head all night long
But when we walk that darkened stairway and step out on the roof
I know what we're feeling can't be wrong
Bring over some of your old Motown records
We'll put the speakers in the window and we'll go
On the roof and listen to the miracles
Echo to the alley down below
Bring over some of your old Motown records
We'll put the speakers in the window and we'll go
On the roof and listen to the miracles
Echo to the alley down below
Let the temptations sing it one time
Bring over some of you old Motown records
We'll put the speakers in the window and we'll go
On the roof and listen to the miracles
Echo to the alley down below
Bring over some of you old Motown records
We'll put the speakers in the window and we'll go
On the roof and listen to the miracles
Echo to the alley down below
How sweet it is honey
Bring over some of you old Motown records
We'll put the speakers in the window and we'll go
On the roof and listen to the miracles
Echo to the alley down below
Bring over some of you old Motown records
Feels like I'm goin' insane
I'm loosin' my brain
I can't stand the pain I'm feelin'
Open my arms, they don't reach
I want you to teach me
What do I do now, baby
What do I do now, baby
Cry every day I exist
I wanna be missed
I wanna be needed, baby
Don't wanna put on a show
So where do I go
and what do I do now, baby
what do I do now, baby
Sometimes it seems to me
Like my whole worlds fallin' apart
I miss you so much, dear
Won't you come back to my arms
Oh yeah
Thoughts spinnin' round in my head
the things that you said
I wanna be sleepin', baby
Open my eyes, there's no one
The damage is done
Oh what do I do now, baby
what do I do now, baby
what do I do now, baby
(repeat and fade)
Well I've Seen her
Down the alley
And over the hill
To steel her away
She was as hot as
Georgia asphalt
When the aircraft came
To adore her brain
So leave Virginia alone
Leave Virginia alone
She's not like you
And me
She's not like you
And me
You should've seen her
Back in the city
Poetry and jewels
Broke all the rules
She was as high as
A Georgia palm tree
(1) So Leave Virginia alone
Leave Virginia alone
She's not like you
And me
She's not like you
And me
Some sunny day
When the h... of times have
Gone farewell
You'll understand
Why it was so hard
To run away
To run away
She's a loser
She's a forgiver
She still finds good
When no one could
You want her
More than money
Cadillac can rust
Diamond and dust
[Repeat (1)]
Ah, yeah
Leave Virginia alone
Leave Virginia alone
She's not like you
And me
She's not like you
And me
Ah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah ,...
La, la, la, leave her alone
Oh, Virginia
Oh, Virginia
Leave her alone
(R. Stewart, C. Kentis, J. Golub, C. Rojas)
He wakes up in the morning like a newborn baby
The message on the machine says "you're driving me crazy"
His feet don't touch the ground
he can hardly wait to see her tonight
Now every new song on the radio reminds him of her
He says hello to strangers and he's singing in the shower
The sign in his eyes says this guy's got a problem so nice so nice
She don't know what she's doing to him
Every day's like Christmas it sure ain't a dream
When a man's in love when a man's in love
he'll fight like a tiger fly like a dove when a man's in love
He's early on the job and all his friends begin to sense
his attitude has changed he's serene and contented
His feet don't touch the ground he can hardly wait to see her tonight
And he calls her on the telephone about a dozen times an hour
She's flattered by the avalanche of attention and flowers
He tells all his buddies "Boys, I've finally found someone for me"
She don't know what she's doing to him
Every day's like Christmas it sure ain't a dream
When a man's in love, when a man's in love
ain't nothin' too hard or too tough when a man's in love
When a man's in love, when a man's in love
he'll fight like a tiger fly like a dove when a man's in love
When a man's in love
She dominates his every thought and dream and conversation
He talks about her constantly with an air of jubilation
There ain't nothin' in the world he wouldn't do to make her little face smile
But oh don't it make you want to smile and dance
May God bless us all with a little romance
When a man's in love, when a man's in love
she's in his heart and running through his blood
when a man's in love
When a man's in love
he'll fight like a tiger, fly like a dove
when a man's in love
when a man's in love
There ain't nothing he can't do
when a man's in love
when a man's in love
(Glenn Sutton)
[B side of Mercury 6052 198, 1972]
It's late and she is waiting, and I know I must go home,
But every time I start to leave, they play another song,
Then someone buys another round and whatever drinks are free,
What made Milwaukee famous has made a loser out of me.
Baby's begged me not to go, so many times before,
She said love and happiness can't live behind those swingin' doors,
Now she's gone and I'm to blame, too late I finally see,
What made Milwaukee famous has made a loser out of me.
Baby's begged me not to go, so many times before,
She said love and happiness can't live behind those swingin' doors,
Now she's gone and I'm to blame, too late I finally see,
What made Milwaukee famous has made a loser out of me.
What made Milwaukee famous has made a loser out of me,
What made Milwaukee famous has made a loser out of me.
What made Milwaukee famous has made a loser out of me.
You must be crazy or half insane
Look at your eyeballs, street cocaine
You drink that white rum, you hit the roof
What do you expect, one-five-one proof
You drive your mustang down Sunset Strip
And in the back seat, a big black whip
Look at your lipstick, all 'round your face
Everything you do is in bad taste
Chorus:
Baby I think you're cute
But there's no substitute for love
Honey it's a crying shame
This whole mad town thinks you're insane
You take me dancing but I can't dance
but when I try to, you start to laugh
You shake your hips child like a rattle snake
You make me jealous make no mistake
You went to Woodstock and all that trash
Your generation is fading fast
You wear them hot pants, they're out of style
You like brown sugar, I think it's vile
(Chorus)
One of these nights child, it won't be long
Somebody somewhere who's big and strong
In a dark alley, a blood stained coat
He'll stick his long thing right down your throat
(Chorus)
Lord have mercy
Hey baby, I think you're insane baby
You got no brain, you're insane
Tell me baby, can you play harp
Can you play bass
Can you play guitar
Can you play drum
Then you're insane
See your bag's packed and you're ready to go
There's just one thing I think that you all ought to know
You're my girl, you're my girl
I don't wanna discuss it woman
ain't no need to try
I don't wanna discuss it baby
come on baby try
You're my girl, listen baby, you're my girl
I don't wanna talk about it
I don't wanna hear you say
I don't wanna even discuss it woman
I don't wanna hear what you say
'cause you know that
You're my girl, you're my girl
You're my girl, you're my girl, no no
I know that you've been running 'round
with another man in town
Tried to put you right woman
but you keep on putting me down
Listen to me now, you're my girl
You're my girl
You're my girl
get in there
I don't wanna talk about it woman
'cause I know you got another man
I don't wanna say another word
just get back where you're at
You got to tell me 'cause
You're my girl, come on baby
You're my girl, you're my girl oh-oh
You're my girl
You're my girl
You're my girl
Today I saw somebody who looked just like you
She walked like you do I thought it was you
As she turned the corner I called out your name
I felt so ashamed but it wasn't you, wasn't you
You are everything and everything is you
You are everything and everything is you
Oh you are everything and everything is you
How can I forget when each face that I see
brings back memories of being with you
I just can't go on livin' life as I do
comparing each girl to you
knowing they just won't do, they're not you
You are everything
Everything is you
You're everything to me girl
I miss you baby
Everything is you
You are everything
Every little thing
You're all I've got
Girl, you're everything to me
You are everything and everything is you
Everything to me
I remember just like it was yesterday
A summer's night, a small cafe
We laughed so much, we almost cried
Then I heard you say
"I think I'm falling in love with you"
I said "Yeah, I'm the same way, too!
I let you in
You danced inside this old heart of mine
I've realized, baby
You and I could never be
But I just wanna thank you
for the memories
When I was your man
When I was your man
When I was your man
Everything in my world
seemed good and right
I remember each and every day with you
And every way I made love to you
The way you made each day special
God, I miss you so.
You made me dance, you made me sing
You showed me what happiness
loving could bring
The way we spent last summer together
Seems so far away
Excuse me, baby
If I sound a little blue
The best times I ever had
I spent with you
When I was your man
When I was your man
When I was your man
Everything in my world
seemed good and right
I'm trying hard to carry on
But the thought of you still ingers on
The robe you wore
Still hangs behind my bedroom door
Your dress rehearsals
And schoolgirl pranks
Your saxophone lessions, your cowboy hats
the way we planned our lives together
seems so far away
When I was your man
When I was your man
When I was your man
Everything in this world
seemed good and right
When I was your man
When I was your man
When I was your man
Everything in this world
No tears
No fears
Remember there's always tomorrow
So what if we have to part
We'll be together again
Your kiss
Your smile
Are memories I'll treasure forever
So try thinking with your heart
We'll be together again
Times when I know you'll be lonesome
Times when I know you'll be sad
Don't let temptation surround you
Don't let the blues make you bad
Some day
Some way
We both have a lifetime before us
For parting is never goodbye
We'll be together again.
Times when I know you'll be lonesome
Times when I know you'll be sad
Don't let temptation surround you
Don't let the blues make you bad
Some day
Some way
We both have a lifetime before us
For parting is not goodbye
Lost in time, I can't count the words
I said when I thought they went unheard
All of those harsh thoughts, so unkind
'Cause I wanted you, I wanted you
And now I sit here, I'm all alone
So here sits a bloody mess, tears fly home
A circle of angels deep in war
'Cause I wanted you, I wanted you
Weak as I am, no tears for you
Weak as I am, no tears for you
Deep as I am, I'm no one's fool
Weak as I am
So what am I now but love's last home
I'm all of the soft words, I once owned
If I opened my heart there'd be no space for air
'Cause I wanted you, I wanted you
Weak as I am, no tears for you
Weak as I am, I'm too much for you
Deep as I am, I'm no one's fool
Weak as I am
With this changing soul in this weak old heart
Oh baby, ain't I too much for you
With this changing soul in this weak old heart
Oh baby, ain't I too much for you
Lost in time, I can't count the words
I said when I thought they went unheard
All of those harsh thoughts, so unkind
'Cause I wanted you, I wanted you
Weak as I am, no tears for you
Weak as I am, I'm nobody's fool
Deep as I am, no tears for you
Weak as I am
Weak as I am, I'm too much for you
Weak as I am, no tears for you
Weak as I am, I'm nobody's fool
Weak as I am
Weak as I am
Weak as I am
Weak as I am
Stay away from my window
Stay away from my backdoor too
Disconnect the telephone line
Relax baby and draw that blind
Kick off your shoes, and sit right down
Loosen up that pretty French gown
Let me pour ya a good long drink
Ooh, baby don't you hesitate, 'cause
Tonight's the night
It's gonna be alright
'cause I love you girl
Ain't nobody gonna stop us now
C'mon, angel, my hearts on fire
Don't deny your man's desire
You'd be a fool to stop this tide
Spread your wings and let me come inside, 'cause
Tonight's the night
It's gonna be alright
'cause I love you girl
Ain't nobody gonna stop us now
Don't say a word, my virgin Child
Just let your inhibitions run wild
The secret is about to unfold
Upstairs before the night's too old
Tonight's the night
It's gonna be alright
'cause I love you girl
Ain't nobody gonna stop us now
Stay away from my window
Stay away from my back door too
Disconnect the telephone line
Relax baby and draw that blind
Kick off your shoes and sit right down
Loosen up the back of your pretty French gown
Let me pour you a good long drink
Ooh baby don't you hesitate 'cause
(Chorus)
Tonight's the night
It's gonna be alright
'Cause I love you girl
Ain't nobody gonna stop us now
C'mon angel my heart's on fire
Don't deny yours man desire
You'd be a fool to stop this time.
Spread your wings and let me come inside
(Chorus)
Don't say a word my virgin child
Just let your inhibitions run wild
The secret is about to unfold
Upstairs before the night's too old
In the morning
Don't say you love me
Cause I'll only kick you out of the door
I know your name is Rita
Cause your perfum smelling sweeter
Since when I saw you down on the floor
guitar
Won't need to much pursuading
I don't mean to sound degrading
But with a face like that
You got nothing to laugh about
Red lips hair and fingernails
I hear your a mean old jezabel
Lets go up stairs and read my tarot cards
Stay with me
Stay with me
For tonight you better stay with me
Stay with me
Stay with me
For tonight you better stay with me
So in the morning
Please don't say you love me
Cause you know I'll only kick you out the door
Yea I'll pay your cab fare home
You can even use my best colonge
Just don't be here in the morning when I wake up
Stay with me
Stay with me
Cause tonight you better stay with me
Sit down, get up, get down
Stay with me
Stay with me
Cause tonight your going stay with me
Hey, whats your name again
oh no, get down, wooo
Oh, yeah
A shoulder to cry on
Someone to lean on
Someone to take you away
Someone to talk to
And somewhere to walk to
I need to remind you someway
Whenever you need me
I'll make the time
To be with you (be with you)
To be with you (be with you)
A night to remember
The rain in September
I want to share it with you
The month by the ocean
We swore our devotion
Making all our wishes come true, come true
Whenever you need me
I'll make the time
To be with you (be with you)
To be with you (be with you)
I want you to know
I've never before
Felt this way
No other words can say
I was lost just yesterday
Until I found you
Oh, yeah
Whenever you need me
I'll make the time
To be with you (be with you)
To be with you (be with you)
The night to remember
The rain in September
I want to share it with you
The month by the ocean
We swore our devotion
Making all our wishes come true, come true
Oh, oh, yeah
Oh, yeah
Ooh, ooh
You wouldn't read my letters if I wrote them
You ask me not to call you on the phone
But there's something I've been waiting for to tell you
So I wrote it in the words of this song
Chorus:
I didn't know God made honky tonk angels
I might have known you'd never make a wife
You gave up the only one that ever loved you
And went on back to the wild side of life
The glamour of the gay nightlife has lured you
to the places where the wine and liquor flow
Where you wait to be somebody else's baby
And forget the truest love you'll ever know
(chorus)
The glamour of the gay nightlife has lured you
to the places where the wine and liquor flow
Where you wait to be somebody else's baby
And forget the truest love you'll ever know
(chorus)
I saw you last night and got that old feeling
When you came in sight I got that old feeling
The moment that you danced by I felt a thrill
And when you caught my eye
My heart stood still
Once again I seemed to feel that old yearning
And I knew the spark of love was still burning
There'll be no new romance for me
It's foolish to start
For that old, old feeling is still in my heart
Once again I seemed to feel that old yearning
And I knew the spark of love was still burning
There'll be no new romance for me
It's foolish to start
For that old, old feeling is still in my heart
Still in my heart
Come on, little baby, let's tear that dance floor up
Come on, little baby, let's tear that dance floor up.
Come on, little mama, let me see you strut your stuff.
I'm a' leavin', little baby, gonna be gone a long, long time.
I'm a' leavin', little baby, gonna be gone a long, long time.
Well come on honey and show me a real good time.
Tear it up! Tear it up!
Tear it up! Tear it up!
Come on little baby let me see you strut your stuff.
[instrumental verse]
Tear it up! Tear it up!
Tear it up! Tear it up!
Come on little baby let me see you strut your stuff.
Well you step back baby, and you move my way,
step around again and let me hear you say
Tear it up! Tear it up!
Come on little baby, let me see you strut your stuff.
Tear it up! Tear it up!
Tear it up! Tear it up!
Come on little mama let me see you strut your stuff.
Tear it up! Tear it up!
Tear it up! Tear it up!
Come on little mama let me see you strut your stuff.
Never get to bed before sunup,
alway get caught in the rain;
sometimes I might get in trouble,
never was one to complain.
Now gentleman, you must agree
ain't it worth it when you're out on cloud thirty-three
to be stone cold sober again,
down in the alley again,
stone cold sober again.
Never found a dime in a gutter,
always get my best friends drunk.
If the pres'dent tries to call me,
say Rodney, come on over for lunch ;
I'd say, Gentlemen, exuse me please
but I'm busy with my buddies up on cloud thirty-three.
Yeah, stone cold sober again,
down in the alley again,
stone cold sober again.
Sunday is a drag, so forget it,
Monday you can make up for that;
Tuesday, take a taste for dinner,
if you're all right spend it in bed.
But on Thursday prepare for your weekend
and let Friday disappear into Saturday mornin'
when you're stone cold sober again,
down in the alley again,
stone cold sober again.
stone cold sober again,
down in the alley again,
stone cold sober again.
I don't mind stone cold sober again,
down in the alley again,
stone cold sober again.

So much to say and so little time to say it in
I've got so much to say, baby, ha
But so little time to say it in
But whatever I tell ya'
I hope that you will obey
Now listen
Say your prayers ev'ry night
And be so good while I'm away
Now listen here
Say your prayers ev'ry night
and be so good while I'm away
Because you know I won't be gone for long
I'll be back home with you one of these little old days, hmm-mm
I know, I know, I know
As I'd have said so many times
I got so much to say and so little time to say it in
So much to say and so little time to say it in
And I know you'll be be a good little girl
while I'm away
Oh yeah hmm
I am sailing, I am sailing home again 'cross the sea.
I am sailing stormy waters, to be near you, to be free.
I am flying, I am flying like a bird 'cross the sea.
I am flying passing high clouds, to be near you, to be free.
Can you hear me, can you hear me, thru' the dark night far away?
I am dying, forever trying to be with you; who can say?
Can you hear me, can you hear me, thru' the dark night far away?
I am dying, forever trying to be with you; who can say?
We are sailing, we are sailing 'cross the sea.
We are sailing stormy waters, to be near you, to be free.
Oh Lord, to be near you, to be free.
Oh Lord, to be near you, to be free.
People get ready
There's a train a-coming
You don't need no baggage
You just get on board
All you need is faith
To hear the diesels humming
Don't need no ticket
You just thank the Lord
People get ready
For the train to Jordan
Picking up passengers
From coast to coast
Faith is the key
Open the doors and board them
There's room for all
among the loved the most
There ain't no room
for the hopeless sinner
Who would hurt all mankind just
To save his own
Have pity on those
whose chances are thinner
Cause there's no hiding place
From the Kingdom's Throne
So people get ready
for the train a-comin'
You don't need no baggage
you just get on board !
All you need is faith
to hear the diesels humming
Don't need no ticket
you just thank, you just thank the Lord
Yeah
Yeah
I'm getting ready
I'm getting ready
this time I'm ready
this time I'm ready
We might have been meant for each other
To be or not to be, let our hearts discover
I have a feelin', it's a feelin' I'm concealin', I don't know why
It's just a mental, incidental, sentimental, alibi
But I adore you, so strong for you
Why go on stallin', I'm fallin', love is callin', why be shy?
Let's fall in love
Why shouldn't we fall in love?
Our hearts are made of it
Let's take a chance, why be afraid of it?
Let's close our eyes
And make our own paradise
Little we know of it
Still we can try to make a go of it
Now, we might have been meant for each other
To be or not to be, let our hearts discover
Let's fall in love
Why shouldn't we fall in love?
Now is the time for it, while we are young
Let's fall in love
Let's fall in love
All around all of the guys call her flamingo
'cause her hair glows like the sun
and her eyes light up the sky
When she walks by
she moves so fine like a flamingo
Crimson dress that clings so tight
She's out of reach and out of sight
When she walks by
she brightens up the neighborhood
and every guy would take her hand
If he just could, if she just would
Some sweet day
I'll make her mine, pretty flamingo
and every guy will envy me
cause paradise is where I'll be
When she walks by
she brightens up the neighborhood
and every guy would take her hand
If he just could, if she just would
Some sweet day
I'll make her mine, pretty flamingo
and every guy will envy me
cause paradise is where I'll be
Miss you babe
Miss you babe
She's everywhere I go
She's everything I know
And now I think she's finally
Touched my soul
She's heaven here on earth
Much more than I deserve
And I don't wanna ever let her go
I'm getting used to all her ways
Everything she says
Her smiles, her frowns
Her ups and all her downs
She's every move that I make
She's every breath I take
She's got a hold on me
That I don't wanna break
I mean my girl bring her home to me
My girl can't wait for you to see
My girl means everything to me
My girl my girl
My friends keep coming round
Saying come out on the town
What's wrong, you ain't the guy
We used to know
And I tell them I say
Without her by my side
I'm only half alive
I love her so bad
And I don't care if it shows
I mean my girl
Bring her home to me
My girl, means everything to me
My girl, can't wait for you to see
My girl, my girl, my girl
At last my heart has found a home
This time I know where I belong
I mean my girl
Bring her home to me
My girl, can't wait for you to see
My girl, means everything to me
My girl, I just wanna see
My girl, my girl, my girl,my girl
Wake up Maggie, I think I've got something to say to you
It's late September and I really should be back at school
I know I keep you amused
But I fell I'm being used
Oh Maggie, I couldn't have tried any more
You led me away from home
Just to save you from being alone
You stole my heart and that's what really hurts
The morning sun when it's in your eyes really shows your age
But that don't worry me none, in my eyes you're everything
I laughed at all of your jokes
My love you didn't need to coax
Oh Maggie, I couldn't have tried any more
You led me away from home
Just to save you from being alone
You stole my soul and that's a pain I can do without
All I needed was a friend to lend a helping hand
But you turned into a lover and mother, what a lover, you wore me out
All you did was wreck my bed
And in the morning kick me in the head
Oh Maggie, I couldn't have tried any more
You led me away from home
'Cause you didn't want to be alone
You stole my heart, I couldn't leave you if I tried
I suppose I could collecd my books and go on back to school
Or steal my daddy's cue and make a living at playing pool
Or find myself a rock and roll band
That needs a helping hand
Oh Maggie, I wished I'd never seen your face
You made a first class fool out of me
But I'm as blind as a fool can be
You stole my heart but I love you anyway
I'd never seen your face
I'll get on back home, one of these days
(P.Sears)
[instrumental]
In these days of changing ways
so called liberated days
a story comes to mind of a friend of mine
Georgie boy was gay I guess
nothin' more or nothin' less
the kindest guy I ever knew
His mother's tears fell in vain
the afternoon George tried to explain
that he needed love like all the rest
Pa said there must be a mistake
how can my son not be straight
after all I've said and done for him
Leavin' home on a Greyhound bus
cast out by the ones he loves
A victim of these gay days it seems
Georgie went to New York town
where he quickly settled down
and soon became the toast of the great white way
Accepted by Manhattan's elite
in all the places that were chic
No party was complete without George
Along the boulevards he'd cruise
and all the old queens blew a fuse
Everybody loved Georgie boy
The last time I saw George alive
was in the summer of seventy-five
he said he was in love I said I'm pleased
George attended the opening night
of another Broadway hype
but split before the final curtain fell
Deciding to take a short cut home
arm in arm they meant no wrong
A gentle breeze blew down Fifth Avenue
Out of a darkened side street came
a New Jersey gang with just one aim
to roll some innocent passer-by
There ensued a fearful fight
screams rang out in the night
Georgie's head hit a sidewalk cornerstone
A leather kid, a switchblade knife
He did not intend to take his life
He just pushed his luck a little too far that night
The sight of blood dispersed the gang
A crowd gathered, the police came
An ambulance screamed to a halt on Fifty-third and Third
Georgie's life ended there
but I ask who really cares
George once said to me and I quote
He said "Never wait or hesitate
Get in kid, before it's too late
You may never get another chance
'Cos youth a mask but it don't last
live it long and live it fast"
Georgie was a friend of mine
Oh Georgie stay, don't go away
Georgie please stay you take our breath away
Oh Georgie stay, don't go away
Georgie please stay you take our breath away
Oh Georgie stay, don't go away
Georgie, Georgie please stay you take our breath away
Oh Georgie stay
(John Lennon)What we really came back to play was this number - Jealous Guy
I was dreaming of the past
and my heart was beatin' fast,
I began to lose control
I began to lose control
I didn't want to hurt you
And I'm sorry I made you cry, no
I didn't want to hurt you (no I didn't care)
I'm just a jealous guy
I was feeling insecure
You might not need me anymore
I was shivering inside
I was shivering inside
I didn't want to hurt you
And I'm sorry I made you cry, oww
I didn't want to hurt you (no I didn't care)
I'm just a jealous guy
I'm just a jealous guy
I'm just a jealous guy
I'm just a jealous guy
I'm just a jealous guy
I don't want nobody messing with you, oh no
Jealous guy
Goodnight cheers. Drive carefully home.
Thank you for your time, and your money.

Every day I spend my time
Drinkin' wine, feelin' fine
Waitin' here to find the sign
That I can understand
Yes I am.
In the days between the hours
Ivory towers, bloody flowers
Push their heads in to the air
I don't care if I ever know
There I go
Don't push your love too far
Your wounds won't leave a scar
Right now is where you are
In a broken dream
Did someone bow their head ?
Did someone break the bread ?
Good people are in bed
Before nine o'clock.
On the pad before my eyes
Paper cries, tellin' lies
The promises you gave
From the grave of a broken heart
Every day I spend my time
Drinkin' wine, feelin' fine
Waitin' here to find the sign
That I can understand
Yes I am. Oh.
I sit here in my lonely room
Don't push your love too far
You know your wounds won't even leave a scar
Right now is where you are
In a broken dream
And don't you forget what I say
Hoo, hoo
Early in the morning and I can't sleep
I can't work and I can't eat.
I feel drunk all day can't concentrate
maybe I'm making a big mistake.
Cut me down like a killer shark
It's like a railroad nunning right through my heart.
Jekyll and hyde the way I behave
feel like I'm running on a empty gauge.
O no
not again
it hurts so good I don't understand - infatuation.
Infatuation - infatuation - infatuation.
Heart beats heavy like a big bass drum
losing all equilibrium.
Gets so hard in the middle of the week
maybe this woman's just all I need.
O no
not again
it hurts so good I don't understand - infatuation. . . .
Spirits soar when I'm by her side
she put a little love in this heart of mine.
Maybe I'm lucky
maybe I'm freed
maybe this woman's just all I need.
O no
not again
it hurts so good I understand - infatuation.
The mystery of you and me
Is coloured blue on blue
We wanted more than we could give
We couldn't see it through
You won't believe these words from me
But still they're mine to say
I will always love you In my own crazy way
I tried to keep my sanity
By being someone else
Someone that you could hold on to
I only fooled myself
I knew the part, but in my heart
The role I couldn't play
But I will always love you
In my own crazy way
I know I didn't do the little things
That could make a woman's heart sing, forgive me
And darling if I brought you any pain
I'm trying to explain
In my heart, I was always true
The memories of you and me
Are written on the wind
And sometimes, girl, I'd give the world
To do it all again
And if you need to call me I'won't be far away
(A. Lerner / F. Loewe)
[instrumental]
I wish you bluebirds in the spring
To give your heart a song to sing
And then a kiss
But more than this
I wish you love
And in July a lemonade
To cool you in some leafy glade
I wish you health
And more than wealth
I wish you love
My breaking heart and I agree
That you and I could never be
So with my best, my very best
I set you free
I wish you shelter from the storm
A cozy fire to keep you warm
But most of all
When snowflakes fall
I wish you love
I wish you shelter from the storm
A cozy fire to keep you warm
But most of all
When snowflakes fall
Yeah (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Yeah (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Yeah (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Yeah (ooh, ooh)
Yeah, yeah
How can I tell ya how much I love ya
Never put no one above ya
It's just you in my heart
And you're makin' me wild
How can I tell ya how much I need ya
Without you I'm just a bleedin' man
Yeah
So girl, let's ride it
Get excited
I can't deny it
When it feels this good
Yeah, yeah
How high the number
How much I dig ya
Oh, babe, there ain't no figure
It's just you in my heart
You're makin' me wild
How can I tell ya just what I'm feelin'
I'm gonna jump off the ceiling now
And get down
Girl, let's ride it (oh, oh)
Get excited (oh, oh)
I can't deny it (no, oh)
When it feels this real (yeah, yeah)
I long to touch you (yeah)
The way you touch me (please)
Cause then you'll love me, girl
The way I love you, yeah
And baby, I just can't stop cryin' (cryin', cryin')
Since I found you my hearts dyin'
Girl, let's ride it (oh, oh)
And get excited (oh, oh)
I can't deny it (no, oh)
When it feels this real (yeah, yeah)
I long to touch you (yeah)
The way you touch me (please)
Cause then you'll love me, girl
The way I love you (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh

When you're makin me feel like
I wanna get down to the real me
I wanna show you the real me, baby
I wanna show you what I'm made of
It's all love, it's all love, it's all love, it's all love
(One more time)
It's all love, it's all love, it's all love, it's all love
(Girl, let's ride it)
(One more time)
It's all love, it's all love, it's all love, it's all love
(Girl, let's ride it, yeah)
It's all love, it's all love, it's all love, it's all love
(You make me feel so good)
It's all love, it's all love, it's all love, it's all love
(Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
It's all love, it's all love, it's all love, it's all love
(It's all love)
Spent some time feelin' inferior
standing in front of my mirror
Combed my hair in a thousand ways
but I came out looking just the same
Daddy said, "Son, you better see the world
I wouldn't blame you if you wanted to leave
But remember one thing don't lose your head
to a woman that'll spend your bread"
So I got out
Paris was a place you could hide away
if you felt you didn't fit in
French police wouldn't give me no peace
They claimed I was a nasty person
Down along the Left Bank minding my own
Was knocked down by a human stampede
Got arrested for inciting a peacful riot
when all I wanted was a cup of tea
I was accused
I moved on
Down in Rome I wasn't getting enough
of the things that keeps a young man alive
My body stunk but I kept my funk
at a time when I was right out of luck
Getting desperate indeed I was
Looking like a tourist attraction
Oh my dear I better get out of here
'for the Vatican don't give no sanction
I wasn't ready for that, no no
I moved right out east yeah!
On the Peking ferry I was feeling merry
sailing on my way back here
I fell in love with a slit eyed lady
by the light of an eastern moon
Shangai Lil never used the pill
She claimed that it just ain't natural
She took me up on deck and bit my neck
Oh people I was glad I found her
Oh yeah I was glad I found her
I firmly believe that I didn't need anyone but me
I sincerely thought I was so complete
Look how wrong you can be
The women I've known I wouldn't let tie my shoe
They wouldn't give you the time of day
But the slit eyed lady knocked me off my feet
God I was glad I found her
And if they had the words I could tell to you
to help you on the way down the road
I couldn't quote you no Dickens, Shelley or Keats
'cause it's all been said before
Make the best out of the bad just laugh it off
You didn't have to come here anyway
[instrumental]
(Bob Dylan)
If you're traveling in the north country fair
Where the winds hit heavy on the borderline
Remember me to the one who lives there
She was once a true love of mine
And if you're goin' when the snowflakes storm
When the rivers freeze and summer ends
Please see for me she has a coat so warm
to keep her from the howling wind
Would you see for me that her hair's hanging long
That it rolls and flows all down her breasts
See for me that her hair's hanging long
'Cause that's the way I remember her bestBut I'm a-wondering if she remembers me at all
Many times I've often prayed
in the darkness of my night
in the brightness of my day
So if you're traveling in the north country fair
Where the winds hit heavy on the borderline
Remember me to the one who lives there
'Cause she was once, she was once a true love of mine
And she'll always be a true love of mine
And I never, never, never, never give her up
(Sonny Boy Williamson)

Good morning little schoolgirl
Good morning little schoolgirl
Can I come home with
Can I come home with you
Tell your mama and your papa
I once was a schoolboy too
Sometimes I don't know what
Sometimes I don't know what
What in the world
What in the world to do
Oh I don't want to hurt your feelings
Or even get mad at you
At all
I'm gonna buy me an airplane
I'm gonna buy me an airplane
Fly right over
Fly right over town
If I don't find my baby
Ain't gonna put my airplane down
Good morning little schoolgirl
Good morning little schoolgirl
Can I come home with
Can I come home with you
Tell your mama and your papa
I once was a schoolboy too
Porter
Every time we say goodbye
I die a little
Every time we say goodbye
I wonder why a little
Why the Gods above me
who must be in the know
Think so little of me
They allow you to go
When you're near
there's such an air
of Spring about it
I can hear a lark somewhere
begin to sing about it
Theres no love song finer
But how strange the change
From major to minor
Every time we say goodbye
Is it my imagination
Or have I finally found something worth living for?
I was looking for some action
But all I found was cigarettes and alcohol
You could wait for a lifetime
To spend your days in the sunshine
You might as well do the white line
Cos when it comes on top . . .
You gotta make it happen!
Is it worth the aggravation
To find yourself a job when there's nothing worth working for?
It's a crazy situation
But all I need are cigarettes and alcohol!
You could wait for a lifetime
To spend your days in the sunshine
You might as well do the white line
Cos when it comes on top . . .
Silent as a willow tree
This road moves like a, a river to me
Sun goes down on Wisdom Street
Break the glass and throw away the key
Somewhere out where the fates collide (collide)
Cigarettes and candlelight
I sit here in the lone cafe
So stripped away (oh, oh)
So stripped away
Ah, huh€
Huh€huh
Oh, ah, oh, ah
Everybody knows
I'm your street corner Romeo
Everybody knows
You're my Juliet in rags
And Charlie Parker loves me
Sit with me forever more
Is the draft too cold when they open door
Seem to me whenever you're drunk
And we'll drift away, drift away (drift away)
Ah, huh€
Huh€huh
Oh, ah, oh, ah
Everybody knows (everybody)
I'm your street corner Romeo (oh, yeah)
Everybody knows
You're my Juliet in rags
And Charlie Parker loves me (ooh€)
I feel your heart beat underneath my skin
Like a New Orleans night
But the rain can't get in
So red-hot dig the beat up underneath a cool, cool night
And the glass moonlight of spring
Everybody knows (ooh€)
I'm your street corner Romeo (oh, yeah)
Everybody knows (know, yeah)
You're my Juliet in rags
Everybody knows (everybody knows)
I'm your street corner Romeo, yes, I am
(Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Everybody knows (yeah)
You're my Juliet in rags
And Charlie Parker loves me (ooh€)
Everybody knows
(I'm listenin' to ya, Charlie)
I'm your street corner Romeo
(Bird is fly high tonight)
Everybody knows
Everybody knows
Charlie Parker loves me
Everybody knows [yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah]
(Fly away, Charlie)
I'm your street corner Romeo
(I'm listenin' to ya, Charlie) [oh, yeah-eh]
Everybody knows
(Everybody, everybody knows)
You're my Juliet in rags
And Charlie Parker loves me
Charlie Parker loves me
Charlie Parker loves me
Every day I wake
Every word I speak
Got you on my mind
I've made love to you
And I may not be
The answer to your prayer
Give me just one night
And I'll take you there
I can read your mind
Honey I ain't blind
You want love so hard
It's no federal crime
Chorus:
Someone's gotta tell me
That you're mine all mine
Take me to your river honey
Fracture my mind
I'll be bad for you
So very bad for you
I've got my brand on you
I'll be bad for you
When you turn around
I'll be standing there
Anywhere you go
I will follow you
Any place you walk
Any words you talk
I'll be by your side
I won't let you down
(Chorus)
I'll be bad for you
So very bad for you
I put my brand on you
I'll be bad for you
Bad for you
Listen to me
Be bad for me
Every day I wake
Every word I speak
Got you on my mind
I've made love to you
When the night gets hot
You're my only thought
Can't control myself
I'll make love to you
(Chorus)
I'll be bad for you
So very bad for you
Ain't nothin' you can do
I'll be bad for you
Bad for you
Nothing you can do
I'm so bad for you baby
I'll be bad for you baby
If loving you is wrong I don't wanna be right
If being right means being without you
I'd rather live a wrong doing life
Your mama and daddy say it's a shame
It's a downright disgrace
Long as I got you by my side
I don't care what your people say
Your friends tell you there's no future
in loving a married man
If I can't see you when I want to
I'll see you when I can
If loving you is wrong I don't wanna be right
If loving you is wrong I don't wanna be right
Am I wrong to fall so deeply in love with you
knowing I got a wife and two little children
depending on me too
And am I wrong to hunger
for the gentleness of your touch
knowing I got somebody else at home
who needs me just as much
And are you wrong to fall in love
with a married man
And am I wrong trying to hold on
to the best thing I ever had
If loving you is wrong I don't wanna be right
If loving you is wrong I don't wanna be right
Are you wrong to give your love
to a married man
And am I wrong trying to hold on
to the best thing I ever had
If loving you is wrong I don't wanna be right
If loving you is wrong I don't wanna be right
I don't wanna be right
if it means sleeping alone at night
I don't wanna be right
if it means coming home at night
I don't wanna, I don't wanna
I don't wanna never, never, never be right
If not for you, babe, I couldn't find the door
Couldn't even see the floor
I'd be sad and blue if not for you.
If not for you, baby, I'd lay awake all night
Wait for the morning light
To shine in through
But it will not be new if not for you.
If not for you, my sky would fall, rain would gather too
Without your love I'd be nowhere at all
I'd be lost if not for you
And you know it's true.
If not for you, my sky would fall, rain would gather too
Without your love I'd be nowhere at all
Oh what would I do if not for you ?
If not for you, winter would have no spring
I couldn't hear the robins sing
I just wouldn't have a clue
Anyway it wouldn't ring true if not for you
Here I go again
I hear those trumpets blow again
All aglow again
Taking a chance on love
Here I slide again
About to take that ride again
I'm starry eyed again
Taking a chance on love
I thought the cards were a frame-up
I never would try
But now I'm taking the game up
And the ace of hearts is high
All things are mending now
I see a rainbow blending now
We'll have a happy ending now
Taking a chance on love
Here I slip again
About to take that trip again
Got my grip again
Taking a chance on love
Now I prove again
That I can make life move again
In the groove again
Taking a chance on love
I walk around with a horseshoe
In clover I lie
And brother rabbit of course you
Better kiss your foot good-bye
On the ball again
I'm riding for a fall again
I'm gonna give my all again
Taking a chance on love
My funny Valentine
Sweet comic Valentine
You make me smile with my heart
Your looks are laughable
Unphotographable
Yet you're my fav'rite work of art
Is your figure less than Greek
Is your mouth a little weak
When you open it to speak
Are you smart?
Don't change a hair for me
Not if you care for me
Stay little Valentine
Stay!
Each day is valentine's day
Is your figure less than Greek
Is your mouth a little weak
When you open it to speak
Are you smart?
Don't change a hair for me
Not if you care for me
Stay little Valentine
Stay, oh stay!
They're writing songs of love
But not for me
A lucky star's above
But not for me
With love to lead the way
I've found more clouds of gray
Than any Russian play
Could guarantee
I was a fool to fall
And get that way
Hi ho! Alas!
And also, lackaday!
Although I can't dismiss
The memory of her kiss
I guess
She's not for me
It all began so well
But what an end
This is the time
A fellow needs a friend
When every happy plot
Ends with a the marriage knot
And there's
I'm in the mood for love
Simply because you're near me
Funny, but when you're near me
I'm in the mood for love
Heaven is in your eyes
Bright as the stars we're under
Oh, is it any wonder
That I'm in the mood for love?
Why stop to think of whether
This little dream might fade?
We've put our hearts together
Now we are one, I'm not afraid
And if there's a cloud above
If it should rain, we'll let it
But for tonight forget it
I'm in the mood for love
Oh yeah
Why stop to think of whether
This little dream might fade?
We've put our hearts together
Now we are one, I'm not afraid
And if there's a cloud above
If it should rain, we'll let it
But, for tonight, forget it
Cause I'm in the mood for love
I'm in the mood for love
When I need you
I just close my eyes and I'm with you
And all that I so want to give you
it's only a heart beat away
When I need love
I hold out my hand and I touch love
I never knew there was so much love
keeping me warm night and day
Miles and miles of empty space in between us
A telephone can't take the place of your smile
But you know I won't be traveling forever
It's cold out but hold out and do like I do
When I need you
I just close my eyes and I'm with you
And all that I so want to give you baby
it's only a heart beat away
It's not easy when the road is your driver
Honey that's a heavy load that we bear
But you know I won't be traveling a lifetime
It's cold out so hold out and do like I do
When I need you
When I need love
I hold out my hands and I touch love
I never knew there was so much love
keeping me warm night and day
When I need you
I close my eyes
I hold out my hand and I've got you darlin'
It's only a heart beat away
Now listen
When I need you darlin'
I hold you, feel ya
Give it to me baby
And I miss ya baby
Just close my eyes and I'm with you
And I need you tonight
You know it's only a heart beat away
When it's love you give
I'll be your man of good faith
When it's love you live
I'll make a stand I won't break
I'll be the rock you can lean on
Be there when you're old
To have and to hold
When there's love inside
I swear I'll alway's be strong
And there's a reason why
I'll prove to you we belong
I'll be the wall that protects you
from the wind and the rain
from the hurt and the pain
Let's make it all for one and all for love
Let the one you hold be the one you want
the one you need
Cause when it's all for one it's one for all
When there's someone that you know
then just let your feelings show
and make it all for one and all for love
When it's love you make
I'll be the fire in your night
Then it's love you take
I will defend I will fight
I'll be there when you need me
When honor's at stake
This vow I will make
That it's all for one and all for love
Let the one you hold be the one you want
the one you need
Cause when it's all for one it's one for all
When there's someone that you know
then just let your feelings show
and make it all for one and all for love
Don't lay our love to rest
cause we could stand up to the test
We got everything and more than we had planned
More than the rivers that run inland
We got it all in our hands
Now it's all for one and all for love
Let the one you hold be the one you want
the one you need
Cause when it's all for one it's one for all
When there's someone that you know
then just let your feelings show
When there's someone that you want
When there's someone that you need
Let's make it all all for one
and all for love
I don't want you
to come round here no more
I beg you for mercy
You don't know how strong
my weakness is
Or how much it hurts me
Cause when you said it over with him
I want to believe it's true
So I let you in knowing tomorrow
I'm gonna wake up missing you
wake up missing you
When the one you love's
in love with someone else
Don't you know it's torture
I mean it's a living hell
No matter how I try to convince myself
this time I won't lose control
One look in your blue eyes
And suddenly my heart can't tell you no
I don't want you
To call me up no more
Saying you need me
You're crazy if you think
just half your love
could ever please me
Still I want to hold you, touch you
when you look at me that way
There's only one solution I know
You gotta stay away from me
Stay away from me
When the one you love's
in love with someone else
Don't you know it's torture
I mean it's a living hell
No matter how I try to convince myself
this time I won't lose control
One look in your sad eyes
And suddenly my heart can't tell you no
My Heart can't tell you no
I don't want you
to come round here no more
I beg you for mercy
You don't know how strong
my weakness is
Or how much it hurts me
Cause when you say its over with him
I want to believe it's true
So I let you in knowing tomorrow
I'm gonna wake up missing you
Wake up missing you
When the one you love's
in love with someone else
Don't you know it's torture
I mean it's a living hell, a living hell
When the one you love's
in love with someone else
Don't you know it's torture
I mean it's a living hell, a living hell
What do you want from me
When will you ever see
I gave it all nothing less
The feeling ain't mutual I guess
Why am I so confused
Why do I feel so used
This game at hand was made for two
But somehow I played without you
No I'm not sad
Nothin' lasts forever
Head over heels
Better late than never
Chorus:
My heart is on the line
Running out of time
Love stop making a fool out of me
My heart is on the line
Running out of time
Love stop making a fool out of me
Telling my friends you're fine
Even our favorite wine
But you're not there and it hurts
Nobody knows how it hurts
Maybe I thought I knew
That I belonged to you
I dreamed a dream I couldn't have
I foolishly let myself dance
Inside your eyes
Oh don't be sad
I should've known better
Why didn't I realize
(Chorus)
Love stop making a fool out of me
Love stop making a fool out of me
Whenever you call me up
Everything else must stop
My heart says stay but I go
'Cause I need you and you know
You're inside of me
I want you now and forever
Come on back to me
(Chorus)
My heart is on the line
Running out of time
Love stop making a clown out of me
Love stop making a fool out of me
Love stop making a clown out of me
Love stop making a fool out of me

He wakes up in the morning like a newborn baby
The message on the machine says ";you're driving me crazy";
His feet don't touch the ground
he can hardly wait to see her tonight
Now every new song on the radio reminds him of her
He says hello to strangers and he's singing in the shower
The sign in his eyes says this guy's got a problem so nice so nice
She don't know what she's doing to him
Every day's like Christmas it sure ain't a dream
When a man's in love when a man's in love
he'll fight like a tiger fly like a dove when a man's in love
He's early on the job and all his friends begin to sense
his attitude has changed he's serene and contented
His feet don't touch the ground he can hardly wait to see her tonight
And he calls her on the telephone about a dozen times an hour
She's flattered by the avalanche of attention and flowers
He tells all his buddies ";Boys, I've finally found someone for me";
She don't know what she's doing to him
Every day's like Christmas it sure ain't a dream
When a man's in love, when a man's in love
ain't nothin' too hard or too tough when a man's in love
When a man's in love, when a man's in love
he'll fight like a tiger fly like a dove when a man's in love
When a man's in love
She dominates his every thought and dream and conversation
He talks about her constantly with an air of jubilation
There ain't nothin' in the world he wouldn't do to make her little face smile
But oh don't it make you want to smile and dance
May God bless us all with a little romance
When a man's in love, when a man's in love
she's in his heart and running through his blood
when a man's in love
When a man's in love
he'll fight like a tiger, fly like a dove
when a man's in love
when a man's in love
There ain't nothing he can't do
when a man's in love
when a man's in love
He wakes up in the morning like a newborn baby
The message on the machine says you're driving me crazy
His feet don't touch the ground
he can hardly wait to see her tonight
Now every new song on the radio reminds him of her

when a man's in love
when a man's in love
Can I tell you what you mean to mean
You're as central as the air I breathe
Almost impossible to believe that you're mine
You're like weekends all year long
under a hot Jamaican sun
You are a winner at a hundred to one
yes you are
Something you've got is something I need right now
You don't have to prove it no more
I'm down on my bended knees honey
What am I gonna do I'm so in love with you
What am I gonna say if ever you go away
One in a million oh so rare
a nightengale in Berkeley Square
and baby I ain't goin?nowhere without you
You are the goal that wins the game
the very last bus home in the rain
You're like rock and roll and champagne
all in one
Something you've got is something I need right now
Let's not mess around any more
I'm down on my bended knees honey
What am I gonna do I'm so in love with you
What am I gonna say if ever you go away
What am I gonna do I'm so in love with you
What am I gonna say if ever you go away
I'll be a sleek one of a kind
and so difficult to define
I could drink a case of you any time
The Sistine Chapel and the Eiffel Tower
a national anthem an April shower
tomorrow's fashion and now I've found you
I'm complete
Something you've got is something I need right now
You don't have to prove it no more
I'm down on my bended knees honey
What am I gonna do I'm so in love with you
What am I gonna say if ever you go away
I'm like a schoolboy in your hands
I wanna get up and sing and dance
You see one hell of a happy man standing here
Individually quite unique
You really swept me off my feet
and baby you look oh so neat
with nothing on
Standing in the shadows of love
I'm getting ready for the heartaches to come
Standing in the shadows of love
I'm just waitin' for the heartaches to come
I want to run but there's no place to go
'cause heartaches will follow me I know
Without your love the love I need
It's the beginning of the end for me
'Cause you've taking away all my reason for living
When you pushed aside all the love I been giving
Didn't I treat you right now baby didn't I
Didn't I do the best for you now didn't I
Don't you leave me
Standing in the shadows of love
I'm getting ready for the heartaches to come
Standing in the shadows of love
I'm getting ready for the heartaches to come
All alone I'm destined to be
with misery my only company
Might come today, might come tomorrow
but it's for sure I ain't got nothing but sorrow
Now don't your conscience kind of bother you
How can you watch me cry after all I done for you
Now hold on a minute
Didn't I treat you right now honey didn't I
Didn't I do the best for you now didn't I
So don't you leave me
Standing in the shadows of love
Getting ready for the heartaches to come
Standing in the shadows of love
I'm getting ready for the heartaches to come
I want to run but there's no place to go
'cause heartaches will follow me I know
Without your love the love that I need
It's the beginning of the end for me
Now don't your conscience kinda, kinda bother you
How can you watch me cry
after all the things I done for you
Didn't I treat you right now baby didn't I
Didn't I do the best for you couldn't I
Didn't I do right by you didn't I
Didn't I screw you right now
Kept you in luxury didn't I
Didn't I do the best for you didn't I
Didn't I treat you right now didn't I
Didn't I do the best for you now didn't I
I'm trying hard not to cry
You know my crying ain't gonna help me now
Without your love the love that I need
It's the beginning of the end for me
So don't you leave me
Standing in the shadows of love
I'm getting ready for the heartaches to come
Standing in the shadows of love
I'm getting ready for the heartaches to come
Standing in the shadows of love
I'm getting ready for the heartaches to come
Standing in the shadows of love

Sipping a sangria with a girl named Julia
Hot Jamaican sand beneath our feet
She purred like a cat in a Panama hat
She said my passport picture was unique
I said I did impersonations would you like to see
Turned around to buy her one more round
Then suddenly she disappeared
like I feared with another guy
Love always seems to let me down
Can be found anywhere around
The carnival had passed
and my heart was beating fast
All these married women, it ain't fair
Nervously I said would you like to come to bed
A cold silence pierced the evening air
Instantly she recognized my insecurities
Changing subjects quickly I agreed
Then suddenly she disappeared
like I feared with another guy, oo baby
Love always seems to let me down
Can be found anywhere around
Nowhere around
The tourist had all gone, winter's coming on
The hotel chambermaid didn't seem to care
Sharing a pina colada we broke into laughter
I'll never know how we made it up the stairs
We spent the night together
and she woke up in my arms
Kissed me tenderly and said goodbye
Then suddenly she disappeared
like I feared with another guy, oo baby
Love always seems to let me down
Can be found anywhere around
Nowhere around
Love always seems to let me down
Maybe I'll wait until next year, next year, next year
(Rod Stewart , 1975/76)
Went downtown on the two fourtynine,
play'n for recognition of the New York town.
See, me and the boys got a rock 'n' roll band;
they were so damn good, gonna lift up the man.
Well, we got ups, we got downs,
we got just so high till the sun goes down.
Got the ego, can be abused;
I got my two-toned shoes,
and I can sing the blues.
Look out, kids, it's the F B I;
we got a problem, you keep me high.
Put on your clothes, take the smile off your face
and put your money where your mouth is or get out this place.
New York town is a meanass town,
we got a thousand bands singin' underground.
Way down in New Orleans it's the same old thing;
emotion'l music a merry old thing.
Old King Soul, he final'y gave us a jolt;
he played the vibes till nine and read from ten to four.
He played upside down, he played inside out;
then a uniform band he was thrown into jail.
Look out, kids, it's the F B I;
we got a problem, you keep me high.
Put on your clothes, take the smile off your face
and put your money where your mouth is or get out this place.
Gettin' hungry I know little woman,
can't get a smell 'cause my nose is blocked.
I'm so high, I can't believe it;
hotel dogs are knockin' on my door.
Two night of singin' nearly out on the end,
left the two parts red, oh what a square.
As soon as the man, there's no sweeter song,
listen, Mc Cartney, we're the band on the run.
Look out, kids, it's the F B I;
we got a problem, you keep me high.
Put on your clothes, take the smile off your face
and put your money where your mouth is or get out this place.
Oh yeah
If you're traveling in the north country fair
Where the winds hit heavy on the borderline
Remember me to the one who lives there
She was once a true love of mine
And if you're goin' when the snowflakes storm
When the rivers freeze and summer ends
Please see for me she has a coat so warm
to keep her from the howling wind
Would you see for me that her hair's hanging long
That it rolls and flows all down her breasts
See for me that her hair's hanging long
'Cause that's the way I remember her best
But I'm a-wondering if she remembers me at all
Many times I've often prayed
in the darkness of my night
in the brightness of my day
So if you're traveling in the north country fair
Where the winds hit heavy on the borderline
Remember me to the one who lives there
'Cause she was once, she was once a true love of mine
And she'll always be a true love of mine
And I never, never, never, never give her up
Wasted and wounded
And it ain't what the moon did
I got what I paid for now
See you tomorrow
Hey Frank can I borrow
A couple of bucks from you
To go waltzing Matilda waltzing Matilda
You'll go waltzing Matilda with me
I'm an innocent victim
of a blinded alley
And I'm tired of all these soldiers here
No-one speaks English
And everything's broken
And my strength is soaking away
To go waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda
You'll go a waltzing Malitda with me
Now the dogs they are barking
and the taxi cab's parking
A lot they can do for me
I begged you to stab me
You tore my shirt open
And I'm down on my knees tonight
Old bushmills I staggered
You buried the dagger
Your silhouette window light
To go waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda
You'll go a waltzing Matilda with me
Now I've lost my St. Christopher
Now that I kissed her
And the one-arm bandit knows
And the maverick Chinaman
with the cold-blooded sigh
And the girls down by the striptease shows go
Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda
You'll go a waltzing Matilda with me
No I don't want your sympathy
Fugitives say
that the streets aren't for dreaming now
Manslaughter dragnet
and the ghost that sells memories
Want a piece of the action anyhow
Go waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda
You'll go waltzing Matilda with me
And you can ask any sailor
And the keys from the jailor
And the old men in wheelchairs know
That Matilda's the defendant
She killed about a hundred
And she follows wherever you may go
Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda
You'll go waltzing Matilda with me
And it's a battered old suitcase
in a hotel someplace
And a wound that would never heal
No prima donnas the perfume is on
and old shirt that is stained with blood and whiskey
And goodnight to the street-sweepers,
The night watchmen flame-keepers
And goodnight Matilda too
Goodnight Matilda too.
(Tom Waits)

Sweet Lady Mary has to rest her poor head
Wakes in the morning with her breakfast in bed
I tried to help her, but I did not know how
I tried to love her, but it's all over now
Nothing left to comfort me, except a sunny day
Steal away, steal away
Over the stones along the dusty old road
With every footstep one more tale is told
With every turning one more side to see
Sweet Lady Mary's seen the last of me
A lesson is learnt, I'll never come this way again
I'll steal away, steal away
Her Spanish habits are so hard to forget
The lady lied with every breath, I accept
Was a matter of time before my face did not fit
I knew all along I'd have to quit.
Anyway now, I better not waste anymore of your time
I'll steal away, steal away
I think I'll go back home and start all again
Where the Gulf Stream waters tend to ease the pain
And on a new day when I've mended the wound
Sweet Lady Mary's gate I swear I'll be bound
But before I sit down again and waste anymore of your time
I better steal away, steal away
Ooh-hoo
Steal away-ay.
(Paul Samwell-Smith, James McCarty and Keith Relf)
Shapes of things before my eyes
Has helped me to despise
will time make men more wise?
Here within my lonely frame.
My eyes just hurt my brain
will time make men more sane?
Come tomorrow will I be older?
Come tomorrow maybe a soldier (now listen)
Come tomorrow, maybe I'm older than today.
(Listen to this)
Here within my lonely frame.
My eyes just hurt my god-darn' brain
will time make men more sane?
(Norman Whitfield, Barret Strong, R. Penzabene)
How you doin' Annaheim ? I don't know what else to call ya'. If I knew all your names, I'd call ya' your bloody names.
Here's one that we did when we was here - were many of you here last night ?
Alright, well I changed me shirt anyway - no I haven't - changed me trousers.
Sunshine, blue skies, please go away,
My love has found another, gone away
Withered up my future, my life is filled with gloom,
Day after day I stay locked up in my room.
I know to you it might sound strange
But I wish it would rain.
Curse so badly, I don抰 want to go outside,
Everyone knows that a man ain抰 supposed to cry.
Listen, I抳e got to cry, 'cause crying sheds the pain.
To the world outside my tears I refuse to explain
I wish it would rain
Let it rain
Looking down at my tear stained face pressed against the window pane,
But I search the sky desperately for rain,
'Cause raindrops will hide my teardrops, no one will ever know
When I抦 crying, crying when I go outside.
To the world outside my tears I refuse to explain
I wish it would rain
Let it rain
Like that number ?
(Sam Cooke)
Well if you ever want to come home to me
I'll still be here waiting
If you ever change your mind
about leaving, leaving me behind
Baby bring it to me, bring your sweet loving
bring it on home to me
I know I laughed when you left
but now I know that I only hurt myself
Honey bring it to me, bring your sweet loving
bring it on home to me
Let me tell you all about it
I'll give you tulips and money too
That ain't all, that ain't all I'd do for you
If you'll bring it to me, bring you're sweet loving
bring it on home to meYou know I'll always be your slave
until I'm buried, buried in my grave
Oh honey bring it to me, bring your sweet loving
bring it on home to me
I tried to treat you right
but you stayed out, stayed out late at night
but I forgive you
Bring it to me, bring your sweet loving
bring it on home to me
Just remember this one thing darlin' that
You, you, you send me, you know this one
You, you know darlin' you send me
And I know that you, you thrill me
Honest you do, honest you do, honest you do
And I wanna tell you one thing that
And I know this one thing that
you send me honest you do, honest you do
honest you do, let me tell you
When I get home you're always there for me
and I know that you're gonna send me
Honest you do, honest you do, honest you do
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
Well you thrill me
Darlin' you're always gonna send me
Set me free why don't you baby
Get out of my life why don't you baby
You really don't want me
You just keep me hanging on
You really don't need me
You just keep me hanging on
Why do you keep coming around
playing with my heart
Why don't you get out of my life
and help me to make a new start
Let me get over you
the way you got over me
Set me free why don't you baby
Get out of my life why don't you baby
You really don't want me child
You just keep me hanging on
You never, never, never needed me
You just keep me hanging on
You said when we broke up
you just wanted to be friends
Tell me, how can we still be friends
when seeing you just breaks my heart again
and there ain't nothing I can do about it
You really don't need me
You just keep me hanging on
You really don't need me baby
You just keep me hanging on
Set me free why don't you baby
Set me free why don't you baby
Get out of my life why don't you honey
You just keep me hanging on
Here you stand with tears in your eyes
crying into my arms
pleading with me to take you back
teasing me with your charms
But you got a nerve to come round here
after all you've said and done
I thought I had seen everything
obviously I was wrong
'Cause where were you when the sun went down
Skies turned dark and gray
Where were you when the north winds blew
Honey tell me where were you
I heard you were living down in Brazil
with them high class friends of mine
I can't believe I was so naive
Did I never once cross your mind
You told them all I was down and out
My existence you even denied
Oh what pleasure it gives me now
to know that you're bleeding inside
You were my life, you were my breath
You were every move I ever made
But recently my opinion's changed
The joke's on you I'm afraid
'Cause I have a woman so beautiful
For you I could no longer wait
Please go away you may spoil everything
Your love has turned up too late
Go away, go away
Please, please go away
I loved you once
I don't love you now
Please, please go away
Ever since I was a kid at school
I messed around with all the rules
Apologised then realised
I'm not different after all
Me and the boys thought we had it sussed
Valentinos all of us
My dad said we looked ridiculous
But boy we broke some hearts
In and out of jobs, running free
Waging war with society
Dumb blank faces stare back at me
But nothing ever changed
Promises made in the heat of the night
Creeping home before it got too light
I wasted all that precious time
and blamed it on the wine
Chorus:
I was only joking my dear
Looking for a way to hide my fear
What kind of fool was I
I could never win
Never found a compromise
Collected lovers like butterflies
Illusions of that grand first prize
are slowly wearing thin
Susy baby you were good to me
Giving love unselfishly
But you took it all too seriously
I guess it had to end
(Chorus)
Now you ask me if I'm sincere
That's the question that I always fear
Verse seven is never clear
But I'll tell you what you want to hear
I try to give you all you want
But giving love is not my strongest point
If that's the case it's pointless going on
I'd rather be alone
'Cause what I'm doing must be wrong
Pouring my heart out in a song
Owning up for prosperity
For the whole damn world to see
Quietly now while I turn a page
Act one is over without costume change
The principal would like to leave the stage
The crowd don't understand
By the time you read this letter
I'll be outta your life
Gone forever more
But guess I'll survive
I'm gonna leave my records
And a forwarding address
Ain't you glad honey
That I'm offa your chest
You said you wanted Paris
Rome 'n' St. Tropez
Perfume by Chanel
And a ring by Cartier
But I gave you headaches
With my old fashioned ways
But that's all irrelevant
To what I'm tryin' to say
I'm a fool for you baby
Pride won't let me stay
I'm a fool for you honey
and I'll come back any day
Guess I'll always love you all my life
You can keep your Streisands
Bardots and Lorens
You're my everything
But now you're my end
It may be over
But just before I go
I can make a new start
But I can't mend a broken heart
So when I read about you
In all the national press
On the arm of so and so
I may get depressed
Cause I tried to love you
But didn't fit in
I came on the dust
I'll leave on the wind
I'm a fool for you baby
My pride won't let me stay
I'm a fool for you honey
I'll come back any day
I'm a fool for you baby
I don't care what your friends say
I'm a fool for you honey
And that's the way I'll stay
I guess I'll always love you all my life
Seems like only yesterday
We were laughing like a couple of kids
Fun we had when first met
Ain't been around much since
Sharing every hour every day
Funny how time slips away
But there's no replacement, baby
When the good times fade away
Oh how soon we changed
Oh how soon we changed
Funny how soon we change
Oh how soon we changed
You remember Casey's bar
and Maxfields after dark
We were different people then
Inseparable never apart
But now the novelty is wearing thin
We spend most time arguing
It was all so easy then
It'll never be again
Oh how soon we changed
Oh how soon we changed
Oh how soon we changed
Oh how soon we changed
I thought I knew you inside out
But obviously I was wrong
Makes no difference what I say
We just don't get along
Face the facts it can never last
We're driffing apart real fast
I'd gladly give up everything
to start all over again
Oh how soon we changed
Oh how soon we changed
Funny how soon we changed
Oh how soon we changed
Oh how soon we changed
Funny how soon we changed
Oh how soon we changed
Oh how soon we changed
The rain poured down the wind swept avenue
On another dark wet December afternoon
All my cherished memories are of you
All my warmth and comfort stayed with you
I would have wrote you a letter
but the telephone calls are free
Cause the boys in the next apartment
Are working all day
They're a great bunch of guys
But I think they're all gay
What am I doing
Avoiding what I'm trying to say
Oh God I wish I was home tonight
With you in my arms
Oh God I wish I was home tonight
Send me a naked picture
By the U.S. mail
Write a pornographic letter
You know I won't tell
Keep your legs closed tight
keep your body under lock and key
Stay home at night
And save all the best parts for me
Yeah baby
Oh God I wish I was home tonight
Yes I do baby
Oh God I wish I was home tonight, oh
I could be home in time for Christmas
If you want me to be
There's a plane leaves here at midnight
Arriving at three
But I'm a bit financially embarrased
I must admit
To tell you the truth my honey
I haven't a cent
Oh God I wish I was home tonight
Tonight baby
Oh God I wish I was home tonight
Guess I'd better ring off
Before the boys get home
My regards to all your family
And everyone at home
There's a lump comes in my throat
And a tear I can't hide
Cause I want to see you so badly
I just may die
And you know why baby
Oh God I wish I was home tonight
With the ones that I love
Oh God I wish I was home tonight
Oh God I wish I was home tonight
Oh my God I wish I was home tonight
Tonight, tonight
I've been hearing voices
Out on the street
They say you've found some one else
Who's really quite neat
But he doesn't move you like I do
Tell me what I wanna hear
That it just ain't true
(Glenn Sutton)[B side of Mercury 6052 198, 1972]
It's late and she is waiting, and I know I must go home,
But every time I start to leave, they play another song,
Then someone buys another round and whatever drinks are free,
What made Milwaukee famous has made a loser out of me.
Baby's begged me not to go, so many times before,
She said love and happiness can't live behind those swingin' doors,
Now she's gone and I'm to blame, too late I finally see,
What made Milwaukee famous has made a loser out of me.
Baby's begged me not to go, so many times before,
She said love and happiness can't live behind those swingin' doors,
Now she's gone and I'm to blame, too late I finally see,
What made Milwaukee famous has made a loser out of me.
What made Milwaukee famous has made a loser out of me,
What made Milwaukee famous has made a loser out of me.
What made Milwaukee famous has made a loser out of me.
I may not seem your ideal
when you look into my eyes
I don't smoke, I don't tell jokes
I'm not the custom made size
But baby let me take you
out on the highway for awhile
I'll show you where the man in me
is when he doesn't hide
He's cruisin' in the fast lane
stuck behind the wheel
Jekyll and Hyde going on inside
when I'm your automobile
And let me be your car for awhile child
shift me into gear and I'll be there
fill me up with five star gasoline
I'll be your car I'll take you anywhere
Don't you know I can't dance
I don't dig it, I can't see it at all
You say I'm just a specimen
and baby I can crawl
My physique just don't look
the way the physiques really should
But then again I've got an engine
underneath my hood
When I'm cutting up the road
with a sports car on my tail
Frankenstein's inside my mind
and the wind's inside my sails
Your love is fading I can feel your love fading
Woman it's fading away from me
'Cause your personal touch has grown cold
as if someone else controls your very soul
I fooled myself long as I can
I can feel the presence of another man
It's there when you speak my name
It's just not the same
Oh honey I'm losing you
I can feel it in the air, it's there everywhere
Oh I'm losing you
I can feel it in my bones
any day you'll be up and gone
Ooh I'm losing you
It's all over your face someone's takin' my place
Could it be that I'm losing you
When I look into your eyes a reflection of a face I see
Oh Lord I'm losing you
I'm hurt, downhearted and worried girl
'cause that face doesn't belong to me
Your love is fadin', I can feel it fadin'
Oh away from me
I can feel it in the air, it's there everywhere
ooh I'm losing you
I don't wanna lose you
but I know I'm gonna groove you
Oh Lord I'm losing you, and I'm a losin' you
Your love is fadin', I can feel it fadin'
I didn't know what day it was
when you walked into the room
I said hello unnoticed
You said goodbye too soon
Breezing through the clientele
spinning yarns that were so lyrical
I really must confess right here
the attraction was purely physical
I took all those habits of yours
that in the beginning were hard to accept
Your fashion sense, Beardsly prints
I put down to experience
The big bosomed lady with the Dutch accent
who tried to change my point of view
Her ad lib lines were well rehearsed
but my heart cried out for you
Chorus:
You're in my heart, you're in my soul
You'll be my breath should I grow old
You are my lover, you're my best friend
You're in my soul
My love for you is immeasurable
My respect for you immense
You're ageless, timeless, lace and fineness
You're beauty and elegance
You're a rhapsody, a comedy
You're a symphony and a play
You're every love song ever written
But honey what do you see in me
(Chorus)
You're an essay in glamour
Please pardon the grammar
but you're every schoolboy's dream
You're Celtic, United, but baby I've decided
You're the best team I've ever seen
And there have been many affairs
Many times I've thought to leave
But I bite my lip and turn around
'cause you're the warmest thing I've ever found
(Chorus)
(Chuck Berry)
Nineteen years old and as sweet as she could be
All dressed up like a downtown Christmas tree
Dancin' and hummin' a rock 'n' roll melody
She's the daughter of a well respected man
who taught her how to jerk and understand
then she became a rock 'n' roll music fan
Sweet little rock 'n' roller, sweet little rock 'n' roller
Her daddy doesn't have to scold her
Her partner can't hardly hold her
Because she never gets any older
Sweet little rock 'n' roller
Shoulda seen her eyes when the band began to play
and the famous singer sang and bowed away
When the stars were gone she screamed and yelled hurray
Ten thousand eyes were watchin' them leave the floor
Five thousand tongues are screaming out ";More"; and ";More";
About fifteen hundred waiting outside the door
Sweet little rock 'n' roller, sweet little rock 'n' roller
Her daddy doesn't have to scold her
Her partner can't hardly hold her
Because she never gets any older
Sweet little rock 'n' roller
Friday night she's dressed to kill
Fishnet tights wearing redhigh heels
All the boys say she's cold as ice
I won't sleep until I satisfied
Keep on watching her across the room
Waiting for the band to play a faster tune
I want her number but I'm scared to ask
I wanna dance and I want her ass
Why the fuck is she ignoring me
I don't know what's wrong with me
Dance with me
She won't dance with me
Why won't she dance with me
She won't dance with me
Dance, dance, dance, dance with me, yeah
Why won't you dance with me
Come on dance with me
Dance, dance, dance, dance with me
Here she comes floating down the street,
Sythesised eyed wearing cellophane jeans
Practiced in the art of sexuality
My tongue gets tied when I try to speak
Got a hard on honey that hurts like hell
If I don't ask her somebody else will
Dance with me,
( No, don't wanna dance with you)
Why won't you dance with me
( Why should I dance with you)
Dance, dance, dance please dance with me baby
(I won't dance with you
I won't dance with you
Why should I dance with you
I won't dance with you
Dance, dance, dance)
Started out like any one of you
Good intentions and a degree
But one hot night under the neon lights
Killed a boy just seventeen
Now I sit here rainin' on my Maker
Reprieve is all I'm praying for
Lord I fear the hangman's steps approachin'
Will the priest knock gently on my door
And I know I've let my daddy down
and I broke my mother's heart
I'd give anything turn back time again
Just give me one more start
I don't need no trial humiliation
Just tell me that I'm heaven bound
I don't want no two faced consolation
What use is that to me six feet underground
I'm going down to the engine shed
Put a gun up to my head
Blow myself into the promised land
We call it scarred and scared
And if you ever see my son again
Don't let on just how I fared
Tell him, tell him I went down big and strong
I was never, never, never scarred or scared
All the girls that once did gather 'round me
have moved along to someone else
Sitting here desperation is my close friend
What I'd give to kiss one of them now
Oo yeah I'll take you there
I'll take ya there
You go to my head and you linger like a haunting refrain
And I find you spinning 'round in my brain
Like the bubbles in a glass of champagne
You go to my head like a sip of sparkling Burgundy brew
And I find the very mention of you
Like the kicker in a julep or two
The thrill of the thought that you might give a thought to my plea
Cast a spell over me
Still I say to myself get a hold of yourself
Can't you see that it never can be
You go to my head with a smile that makes my temperature rise
Like a summer with a thousand Julys
You intoxicate my soul with your eyes
Though I'm certain that this heart of mine
Hasn't a ghost of a chance in this crazy romance
You go to my head
The thrill of the thought that you might give a thought to my plea
Cast a spell over me
Still I say to myself get a hold of yourself
Can't you see that it never can be
You go to my head with a smile that makes my temperature rise
Like a summer with a thousand Julys
You intoxicate my soul with your eyes
Though I'm certain that this heart of mine
Hasn't a ghost of a chance in this crazy romance
You go to my head
You go to my head
It seems we stood and talked like this before
We looked at each other in the same way then
But I can't remember where or when
The clothes you're wearing are the clothes you wore
The smile you are smiling you were smiling then
But I can't remember where or when
Some things that happened for the first time
Seem to be happening again
And so it seems that we have met before
And laughed before, and loved before
But who knows where or when
Some things that happened for the first time
Seem to be happening again
And so it seems that we have met before
And laughed before, and loved before
But who knows where or when
I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
I see skies of blue and clouds of white
The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
The colours of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people going by
I see friends shakin' hands, sayin' "How do you do?"
They're really saying "I love you"
I hear babies cryin', I watch them grow
They'll learn much more than I'll ever know
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
The way you wear your hat
The way you sip your tea
The memory of all that
No no they can't take that away from me
The way your smile just beams
The way you sing off key
The way you haunt my dreams
No no they can't take that away from me
We may never never meet again, on that bumpy road to love
Still I'll always, always keep the memory of
The way you hold your knife
The way we dance till three
The way you change my life
No no they can't take that away from me
No they can't take that away from me
Yeah yeah yeah
We may never never meet again, on this bumpy road to love
Still I'll always, always keep the memory of
The way you hold your knife
The way we dance till three
The way you change my life
No no they can't take that away from me
No they can't take that away from me
No they can't take that away from me
No they'll never never never never take that away from me
Grab your coat and get your hat, leave your worry at the doorstep
Just direct your feet to the sunny side of the street
Can't you hear that pitter pat or that happy tune is your step
Life can be so sweet on the sunny side of the street.
I used to walk in the shade with all them blues on parade
Now I'm not afraid 'cause this rover crossed over.
If I never had a cent, I'll be as rich as Rockefeller
Gold dust at my feet on the sunny side of the street, sunny side of the street.
I used to walk in the shade with all them blues on parade
Now I'm not afraid 'cause this rover crossed over.
If I never had a cent I'll be as loaded as old Rockefeller
Smile
Though your heart is aching
Smile
Even though it's breaking
When there are clouds
In the sky,
You'll get by
If you smile
Through your fear and sorrow
Smile
And maybe tomorrow
You'll see the sun
Come shining through
For you
Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear
May be ever so near
That's the time
You must keep on trying
Smile
What's the use of crying?
You'll find that life
Is still worth-while
If you just smile
Smile
Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear
May be ever so near
That's the time
You must keep on trying
Smile,
What's the use of crying?
You'll find that life
Is still worth-while
If you just smile
Keep on smiling
Oh yeah
Smile
Never, never, never stop smile
Maybe I'm right and maybe I'm wrong
Well maybe I'm weak and maybe I'm strong
But nevertheless I'm in love with you
Maybe I'll win and maybe I'll lose
Maybe I'm in for crying the blues
But nevertheless I'm in love with you
Somehow I know at a glance the terrible chances that I'm taking
Fine at the start that left with a heart that's breaking
Maybe I'll live a life of regret
And maybe I'll give so much more than I get
But nevertheless I'm in love with you
Somehow I know at a glance the terrible terrible chances I'm taking
Fine at the start but then left with a heart that's breaking
Maybe I'll live a life of regret
And maybe I'll give much more than I get
The night is like a lovely tune
Beware my foolish heart
How white the ever constant moon
Take care, my foolish heart.
There's a line between love and fascination
That's so hard to see on an evening such as this
For they give the very same sensation
When you are lost in the passion of a kiss.
For your lips are much too close to mine
Beware my foolish heart
But should our eager lips combine
Then let the fire start.
For this time it isn't fascination
Or a dream that will fade and fall apart
It's love this time, it's love, my foolish heart.
There's a line between love and fascination
That's so hard to see on an evening such as this
For they give the very same sensation
When you are lost in the passion of a kiss, oh yeah.
Your lips are much too close to mine
Beware my foolish heart
But should our eager lips combine
Then let the fire start.
For this time it isn't fascination
Or a dream that will fade and fall apart
Moon river, wider than a mile
I'm crossing you in style someday
You, dream maker, you, heartbreaker
Wherever you're going I'm going your way.
Two drifters off to see the world
There's such a lot of world to see
We're after the same rainbow's end
Waiting 'round the bend
My huckleberry friend
Moon river and me.
Two drifters off to see the world
There's such a lot of world to see
We're after the same rainbow's end
Waiting 'round the bend
My huckleberry friend
This suspense is killing me
I can't stand uncertainty
Tell me now, I've got to know
Whether you want me to stay or go.
Love me or leave me or let me be lonely
You won't believe me but I love you only
I'd rather be lonely then happy with somebody else.
You might find the night time, the right time for kissin'
But night time is my time for just reminiscin'
Regrettin' instead of forgettin' with somebody else.
There'll be no one unless that someone is you
I intend to be independently blue.
I want your love but I don't want to borrow
Have it today and give back tomorrow
For my love is your love, there's no love for nobody else, nobody else.
Oh yeah.
(Leave me, baby)
There'll be no one unless that someone is you
I intend to be independently blue.
I want your love but I don't want to borrow
So have it today andgive back tomorrow
My love is your love, there's no love for nobody else
I would have given you all of my heart
But there's someone who's torn it apart
And she's taken just all that I had
But if you want I'll try to love again
Baby I'll try to love again but I know
The first cut is the deepest
Baby I know the first cut is the deepest
But when it come to being lucky she's cursed
When it come to loving me she's the worst
I still want you by my side
Just to help me dry the tears that I've cried
And I'm sure going to give you a try
And if you want I'll try to love again
Baby I'll try to love again but I know
The first cut is the deepest
Baby I know the first cut is the deepest
But when it come to being lucky she's cursed
When it come to loving me she's the worst
I still want you by my side
Just to help me dry the tears that I've cried
But I'm sure gonna give you a try
'cause if you want I'll try to love again
Baby I'll try to love again but I know
The first cut is the deepest
Baby I know the first cut is the deepest
When it come to being lucky she's cursed
When it come to loving me she's the worst
