Plot
From Elvis to Obama, Celebrity Impersonators or Tribute Artists as they are commonly known have been entertaining the masses for decades. Gathering under one roof, these men and women, professionals and beginners alike, come together annually at the Sunburst Convention. De Niro, Bush, and Oprah are names that have inspired thousands if not millions of people to dream of greater possibilities in their own lives, but some have chosen to become these very names or at least to impersonate them. When fans cannot get close to the real thing, these professionals step in and fill the void. "Just About Famous: Celebrity Impersonation" will go behind the persona and delve into the minds and hearts of the people who make a living impersonating others. How did they get started? How has this path changed their lives? Why they do what they do? From Kenny Rogers being accosted at K-Mart for an autograph to Elvis being announced every time he enters the Home Depot leaving him to ask the ultimate question, 'Can't I just buy some lumber?' Each impersonator has a story to tell. As the old adage goes, 'Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.' Take a trip into the intriguing, enlightening, and often times surreal life of the celebrity impersonator...
A film about famous people....well, almost.
Impersonation is the sincerest form of flattery.
Are you Just About Famous?

Roderick David "Rod" Stewart, CBE (born 10 January 1945) is a British singer-songwriter, born and raised in North London, England, and currently residing in Epping. He is of Scottish and English ancestry.
With his distinctive raspy singing voice, Stewart came to prominence in the late 1960s and early 1970s with The Jeff Beck Group and then Faces. He launched his solo career in 1969 with his debut album An Old Raincoat Won't Ever Let You Down (US: The Rod Stewart Album). His work with The Jeff Beck Group and Faces influenced heavy metal genres.
With his career in its fifth decade, Stewart has sold over 100 million records worldwide, making him one of the best selling artists of all time. In the UK, he has had six consecutive number one albums, and his tally of 62 hit singles include 31 that reached the top 10, six of which gained the number one position. He has had 16 top ten singles in the U.S, with four of these reaching number one on the Billboard Hot 100. In 2008, Billboard magazine ranked him the 17th most successful artist on the "The Billboard Hot 100 Top All-Time Artists". He was voted at #33 in Q Magazine's list of the top 100 Greatest Singers of all time, and #59 on Rolling Stone 100 Greatest Singers of all time. As a solo artist, Stewart was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1994, and was inducted a second time, as a member of Faces, in April 2012.
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.
Jo Jo left his home in Tucson Arizona,
for some California grass.
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.

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 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.

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)

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
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

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
I'm just waitin' for the heartaches to come

Standing in the shadows of love
I'm getting ready for the heartaches to come
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)
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 meNow 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.
(Stewart, Davis, Brock)
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 awayI¡¯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
(Wood, Stewart, Lane)
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'll be seeing you
In all the old familiar places
That this heart of mine embraces
All day through
In that small cafe
The park across the way
The children's carousel
The chestnut tree
The wishing well
I'll be seeing you
In every lovely summer's day
In everything that's light and gay
I'll always think of you that way
I'll find you in the morning sun
And when the night is new
I'll be looking at the moon
Are the stars out tonight?
I don't know if it's cloudy or bright
Cause I only have eyes for you dear
The moon may be high
But I can't see a thing in the sky
Cause I only have eyes for you
I don't know if we're in a garden
Or on a crowded avenue
You are here, so am I
Maybe millions of people go by
But they all disappear from view
And I only have eyes for you
I don't know if we're in a garden
Or on a crowded avenue
You are here, so am I
Maybe millions of people go by
But they all disappear from view
And I only have eyes
Yes I only have eyes for you
I can tell by your eyes that you've probably been crying forever
And the stars in the sky don't mean nothing to you they're a mirror
I don't want to talk about it
How you broke my heart
If I stay here just a little bit longer
If I stay here won't you listen to my heart
Oh oh oh my heart
If I stand alone will the shadows hide the colour of my heart
blue for tears,black for the night,fears the stars in the sky don't mean nothing to you they're a mirror
I don't want to talk about it
How you broke my heart
If I stay here just a little bit longer
If I stay here won't you listen to my heart
I love you for sentimental reasons
I hope you do believe me
I'll give you my heart
I love you and you alone were meant for me
Please give your loving heart to me
And say we'll never part
I think of you every morning
Dream of you every night
Darling, I'm never lonely
Whenever you are in sight
I love you for sentimental reasons
I hope you do believe me
I've given you my heart
I love you for sentimental reasons
I hope you do believe me
For all we know
We may never meet again
Before you go
Make this moment sweet again
We won't say goodnight
Until the last minute
I'll hold out my hand
And my heart will be in it
For all we know
This may only be a dream
We come and go
Like a ripple on a stream
So love me, tonight
Tomorrow was made for some
Tomorrow may never come
For all we know
Tomorrow may never come
Fly me to the moon, let me play among the stars
Let me see what spring is like on Jupiter and Mars.
In other words, hold my hand
In other words, darling, kiss me.
Fill my heart with song and let me sing for ever more
You are all I long for, all I worship and adore.
In other words, please, be true
In other words, I love you.
In other words, hold my hand
In other words, darling, kiss me.
Fill my life with song and let me sing for ever more
You are all I long for, all I worship and adore.
In other words, please, please, be true
You sheltered me from harm
Kept me warm, kept me warm
You gave my life to me
Set me free, set me free
The finest years I ever knew
Were all the years I had with you
I would give anything I own
Give up me life, my heart, my home
I would give everything I own
Just to have you back again
You taught me how to love
What its of, what its of
You never said too much
But still you showed the way
And I knew from watching you
Nobody else could ever know
The part of me that can't let go
I would give anything I own
Give up me life, my heart, my home
I would give everything I own
Just to have you back again
Is there someone you know
You're loving them so
But taking them all for granted
You may lose them one day
Someone takes them away
And they don't hear the words you long to say
I would give anything I own
Give up me life, my heart, my home
I would give everything I own

I remember finding out about you
Every day, my mind is all around you
Looking out from my lonely room, day after day
Bring it home, baby, make it soon
I give my love to you
I remember holding you while you sleep
Every day, I feel the tears that you weep
Looking out of my lonely gloom, day after day
Bring it home, baby, make it soon
I give my love to you
Looking out of my lonely room, day after day
Bring it home, baby, make it soon
I give my love to you
I remember finding out about you
Every day, my mind is all around you
Looking out of my lonely gloom, day after day
Bring it home, baby, make it soon
I was blue, just as blue as I could be
Ev'ry day was a cloudy day for me
Then good luck came a-knocking at my door
Skies were gray but they're not gray anymore
Blue skies smiling at me
Nothing but blue skies do I see
Bluebirds singing a song
Nothing but bluebirds all day long
Never saw the sun shining so bright
Never saw things going so right
Noticing the days hurrying by
When you're in love, my how they fly
Blue days, all of them gone
Nothing but blue skies from now on
I should care if the wind blows east or west
I should fret if the worst looks like the best
I should mind if they say it can't be true
Blue moon
You saw me standing alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
Blue moon
You know just what I was there for
You heard me saying a prayer for
Someone I really could care for
And then there suddenly appeared before me
The only one my arms will hold
I heard somebody whisper please adore me
And when I looked to the moon it turned to gold
Blue moon
Now I'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
And then there suddenly appeared before me
The only one my arms will ever hold
I heard somebody whisper please adore me
And when I looked the moon had turned to gold
Blue moon
Now I'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
Blue moon
Now I'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
After one whole quart of brandy
Like a daisy I awake
With no Bromo Seltzer handy,
I don't even shake.
Men are not a new sensation;
I've done pretty well, I think.
But this half-pint imitation
Put me on the blink
I'm wild again
Beguiled again
A simpering, whimpering child again
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered am I
Listen, baby
I couldn't sleep
And wouldn't sleep
Until I could sleep where I shouldn't sleep
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered am I
Lost my heart but what of it?
My mistake I agree.
Oh she's such a laugh, and I love it
Although the laugh's on me.
Oohh I'll sing to him
Bring springs to him
And worship the trousers that cling to him
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered am I
Oh you're so cute
Oh she's kept enough, she's slept enough
And yet, where it counts she's adapt enough
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered am I
When he talks he is seeking
Words to get off his chest.
Horizontally speaking
She's at her very best.
Oh we've seen a lot
I mean a lot
And now we're like sweet seventeen a lot
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered am I
Oh, we're vexed again
Perplexed again
Thank God we can't be over-sexed again
There were bells on a hill
But I never heard them ringing
No, I never heard them at all
Till there was you
There were birds in the sky
But I never saw them winging
No, I never saw them at all
Till there was you
Then there was music and wonderful roses
They tell me in sweet fragrant meadows
Of dawn and dew
There was love all around
But I never heard it singing
No I never heard it at all
Till there was you
Then there was music and wonderful roses
They tell me in sweet fragrant meadows
Of dawn and dew
There was love all around
But I never heard it singing
No, I never heard it at all
Till there was you
This day and age we're living in
Gives cause for apprehension
With speed and new invention
And things like third dimension
Yet we get a trifle weary
With Mr. Einstein's theory
So we must get down to earth at times
Relax relieve the tension
And no matter what the progress
Or what may yet be proved
The simple facts of life are such
They cannot be removed
You must remember this
A kiss is still a kiss,
A sigh is just a sigh
The fundamental things apply
As time goes by
And when two lovers woo
They still say, "I love you"
On that you can rely
No matter what the future brings
As time goes by
Moonlight and love songs
Never out of date
Hearts full of passion
Jealousy and hate
Woman needs man
And man must have his mate
That no one can deny
Well, it's still the same old story
A fight for love and glory
A case of do or die
The world will always welcome lovers
As time goes by
Times don't change, right?
Sing it to me, Latifah
Oh, I'm singing it to you right now
Cause we're talking about
Moonlight and love songs
Never out of date
Hearts full of passion
Jealousy and hate
Woman needs man
And man must have his mate
That no one can deny
Well, it's still the same old story
A fight for love and glory
A case of do or die
The world will always welcome lovers
As time goes by
As time goes by
(James Harris III, Terry Lewis)
Driving down
From the Highland Line
We'd done some gigs
On the Clyde of the Tyne
They flew us in
From a Hamburg strip
The taste of Dusseldorf
Still on our lips
And on the bus
There's a friend of mine
We go way back
To the scene of the crime
Sit up front
And share a cigarette
And try to remember
What we tried to forget
He said, "do you remember"
He said, "do you recall"
I said, "Yeah I remember
Oh I remember it all"
*Everytime the cold wind blows
Everytime I hear the sound
Late night trains
Shuntin' down by the river
I remember Windy Town
We've come so far
And we moved so fast
Makin' haste
See it all grow past
Round the world
And around again
Up and down
On that gravy train
** Everytime the cold wind blows
Everytime I hear the sound
East coast crosswinds
On the cold wet stone
I remember Windy Town
I've seen it all before
The freezing corners
And the empty streets
The burning passion
And the cold wet feet
Three tricky miles home every night
Dodging from the shadows
Underneath the overlights
Nocard for kissin'
And nowhere to go
'Cept inside each other
And I love you so
I held your face
As you shivered in the rain
Girl, I'll ALLWAYAS LOVE YOU
AND I´LL love you again
Oh everytime, yeah everytime
(*Repeat)
(** Repeat)
There it goes, there it goes
Windy Town
I tried to do the things in my own way
I tried to do what people say
but I was going nowhere fast
And now I'm turning to you at last
(1) What do you want me to do
What so you want me to do
What do you want me to do, Lord
I can see the lights of home
But I can't get there on my own
I can see the landing strip
But I need you to guide my ship
[Repeat (1)]
I've been a fool and I've been a clown
I've let the enemy turn me around
I've wasted love and I've wasted time
I've been proud and I've been blind
There's such a lot of things to change
A whole world to arrange
And if you show me how
I'll begin right now
[Repeat (1)]
What do you want me to do, Lord
What do you want me to do, Lord
'Cause I'm listenin'
I'm listenin'
Lord, I'm listenin'
I'm listenin'
Stand here ev'ry night,
I'm wearin' my number,
but she said wear it,
touching up another fool.
In a jukebox job downin' blues
in her leopard-skin anklehigh boots
while I'm jackin' off
readin' Playboy on a hot afternoon.
I'm a three time loser.
Caught it up in Monterey,
shook it up in East Virginia,
now my friends say it's here to stay.
How dare you have a party
in a Chelsea basement
when the poor excited Jezebel said come outside.
She felt me up and kissed my face,
put her dirty hands down in my pants.
She took all of my money,
left me naked by the silvery moon.
I'm a three time loser.
Caught it up in Monterey,
shook it up in East Virginia,
now my friends say it's here to stay.
Roll away, roll away, all of you women;
I don't think I need you anymore.
There'll be no more doctor's bills,
there'll be no more swallowing pills.
And I've found a woman
that can witness that in blood out of me.
I'm a three time loser.
Caught it up in Monterey,
shook it up in East Virginia,
now my friends say it's here to stay.
I'm a three time loser.
Caught it up in Monterey,
shook it up in East Virginia,
now my friends say it's here to stay.
What good are words I say to you?
They can't convey to you what's in my heart
If you could hear instead
The things I've left unsaid
Time after time
I tell myself that I'm
So lucky to be loving you
So lucky to be
The one you run to see
In the evening, when the day is through
I only know what I know
The passing years will show
You've kept my love so young, so new
And time after time
You'll hear me say that I'm
So lucky to be loving you
I only know what I know
The passing years will show
You've kept my love so young, so new
And time after time
You'll hear me say that I'm
So lucky to be loving you
The Best Of My Love
[Originally by The Eagles]
Every night I'm lyin' in bed
Holdin' you close in my dreams
Thinkin' about all the things that we said
And comin' apart at the seams
We try to talk it over
But the words come out too rough
I know you were tryin'
To give me the best of your love
Beautiful faces and loud, empty places
Look at the way that we live
Wastin' our time on cheap talk and wine
Left us so little to give
That same old crowd
Was like a cold dark cloud
That we could never rise above
But here in my heart I give you the best of my love
Oh sweet darlin' you get the best of my love, oh
Sweet darlin', you get the best of my love
I'm goin' back in time
And it's a sweet dream
It was a quiet night
And I would be all right
If I could go on sleepin'
But every mornin'
I wake up and worry
What's gonna happen today
You see it your way
And I see it mine
But we both see it slippin' away
You know we always had each other baby
I guess that wasn't enough
Oh, but here in my heart
I give you the best of my love
Oh, sweet darlin'
You get the best of my love
Oh, sweet darlin'
You get the best of my love
Every night and day,
You get the best of my love
Oh, sweet darlin' you get the best of my love
Oh, sweet darlin' you get the best of my love..
(J. Rod)

Everywhere I hear the sound
of marching, charging feet boy
'Cause the summer's here
and the time is right for
fighting in the street boy
Hey think the time is right
for a palace revolution
Where I live the game to play
is just to compromise my solution
What can a poor boy do
except to sing for a rock 'n' roll band
'Cause you see bein' London town
there's just no other place
for a street fighting man
Hey did I tell you that my name
was called disturbance
And I'll shout and scream
and I'll kill the king and
I'll rail at all his servants
What can a poor boy do
except to sing for a rock 'n' roll band
'Cause you see bein' London town
there's just no place
for a street fighting man
Everywhere I hear the sound
of marching, charging feet boy
'Cause the summer's here
and the time is right for
fighting in the street boy
What can a poor boy do
except to sing for a rock 'n' roll band
'Cause you see bein' London town
there's just no other place

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 sky
I am flying, passing high clouds
To be with you, who can say
Can you hear me, can you hear me
Through the dark night, far away?
I am dying, forever crying
To be with you, who can say
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me, can you hear me
Through the dark night far away?
I am dying, forever crying
To be with you, who can say, who can say
We are sailing, we are sailing
Home again '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 my Lord, to be near you, to be free
Oh my Lord, to be near you, to be free
Single file in the girls corridor
Come along, Stewart laddie!
Stewart boy, you'll never be much,
'cause you're too busy acting the fool.
Thank you Sir for them few kind words,
on my last day of school.
Oh, but my mama said, I could be a success,
if I'd only get myself out of bed.
Words of wisdom, but I wasn't list'ning,
I had plans in my head.
Only a boy,
trying it on,
coming on strong,
restless to roam,
only a boy,
silly and proud,
reckless and loud,
impressing the crowd,
only a boy.
Rock'n' Roll was in my brain,
Eddie Cochrane running through my brain.
Skin tight trousers in council houses,
the unemployment exchange.
The blues I played were Mississippi made
and ev'ry Friday night I'd fall in love.
Football fields and teenage pills
nothing's enough.
Only a boy,
dressing to kill,
passion to spill,
hand in the till.
Only a boy,
slipping it in,
thin as a pin,
chasing a dream,
only a boy.
climb down off the school roof laddie
Oh and them dukes of freedom, I used to believe them,
and all their rebelious vows.
The critics, the cynics, who never understood it,
where are they now
And all the wondering and the stumbling
that goes hand in hand with change.
The yearning, the earning was it all part of learning,
or am I still the same
Only a boy
laughing aloud,
quick as a shot,
nobody can stop.
Only a boy,
plans of his own,
leaving his home,
knows where he's going,
only a boy.
only a boy,
only a boy,
only a boy, ha ha, oh
Missing You
[Originally by John Waite]
Missing you...
Every time I think of you, I always catch my breath
And I'm still standing here, and you're miles away
And I'm wonderin' why you left
And there's a storm that's raging through my frozen heart
Tonight
I hear your name in certain circles, and it always makes me smile
I spend my time thinkin' about you, and it's almost driving me wild
And there's a heart that's breaking down this long distance line tonight
I ain't missing you at all since you've been gone away
I ain't missing you, no matter what I might say
There's a message in the wire, and I'm sending you this signal tonight
You don't know how desperate I've become
And it looks like I'm losing this fight
In your world I have no meaning, though I'm trying hard to understand
And it's my heart that's breaking down this long distance line tonight
I ain't missing you at all
Since you've been gone away
I ain't missing you,
No matter what my friend's missing
And there's a message that I'm sending out,
Like a telegraph to your soul
And if I can't bridge this distance,
Stop this heartbreak Overload
I ain't missing you,
I ain't missing you,
I can lie to Myself
And there's a storm
That's raging through my frozen heart tonight
I ain't missing you at all
Since you've been gone away
I ain't missing you,
No matter what my friend's missing
I ain't missing you
I ain't missing you
I can't lie to myself
I ain't missing you
I ain't missing you
I ain't missing you
I'm lying to myself
Oh yes
I ain't missing you
Missing you...
(Danny whitten, 1977)
I can tell by your eyes that you've probably been cryin' forever,
And the stars in the sky don't mean nothin' to you, they're a mirror.
I don't want to talk about it, how you broke my heart.
If I stay here just a little bit longer,
If I stay here, won't you listen to my heart, whoa, my heart?
If I stand all alone, will the shadow hide the color of my heart?
Blue for the tears, black for the night's fears.
The stars in the sky don't mean nothin' to you, they're a mirror.
I don't want to talk about it, how you broke my heart.
If I stay here just a little bit longer,
If I stay here, won't you listen to my heart, whoa, my heart?
I don't want to talk about it, how you broke this ol' heart.
If I stay here just a little bit longer,
If I stay here, won't you listen to my heart, whoa, my heart?
Hang on St. Christopher
Through the smoke and the oil
Pumpin' iron around the scene
Let the radiator boil
Got no back down shift
And a two dollar grill
Got an '85 cab
......
(1) Hang on St. Christopher
On the passenger side
Open it up tonight
So the devil can ride
Hang on St. Christopher
With a ballast door
Kick me up ...
Throw me out in the fog
Tell ... Jack ...
Drive a stake through his heart
Do a hundred on the grapevine
Do a jump on the start
Hang on St. Christopher
Now don't let me go
Get me to Reno
And bring it in low, low
Hang On St. Christopher
With the hammer to the floor
Put a highball in the crankcase
Nail a crow to the door
Give me a bottle for the jockey
Give me a two ...
There's a certain ...
Bustin' down Johnny's door
[Repeat (1)]
Let the devil ride
Let the devil ride
Let the devil ride
Hang On St. Christopher
Now don't let me go
Get me to Reno
Got to bring it in low
Put my baby on a flatcar
Tell 'em to burn down the caboose
Get 'em all jacked up with whiskey
And we'll turn the mad dog loose
[Repeat (1)]
Let him ride, let him ride
Let him ride, let him ride
Let him ride, let him ride
HAng on St. Christopher
Through the smoke and the oil
Get me to Reno
And bring it in low, low ...
Have I told you lately that I love you
Have I told you there's no one else above you
Fill my heart with gladness
take away all my sadness
ease my troubles that's what you do
For the morning sun in all it's glory
greets the day with hope and comfort too
You fill my life with laughter
and somehow you make it better
ease my troubles that's what you do
There's a love that's divine
and it's yours and it's mine like the sun
And at the end of the day
we should give thanks and pray
to the one, to the one
Have I told you lately that I love you
Have I told you there's no one else above you
Fill my heart with gladness
take away all my sadness
ease my troubles that's what you do
There's a love that's divine
and it's yours and it's mine like the sun
And at the end of the day
we should give thanks and pray
to the one, to the one
And have I told you lately that I love you
Have I told you there's no one else above you
You fill my heart with gladness
take away my sadness
ease my troubles that's what you do
Take away all my sadness
fill my life with gladness
ease my troubles that's what you do
Take away all my sadness
fill my life with gladness
ease my troubles that's what you do
Everyday I get up
And drag myself out of bed
While you're still sleeping
On your tummy
With your long legs spread
Call me a copy cat
Dressed
Kiss you good-bye
I'm like a lion in winter
I don't want to say good-bye
I'm trying to pull
On my socks
You get me horny and hot, darling
That's why I'm late on the job
(1) You're delicious
You're delicious, babe
You're delicious
Just keep on doing
What you are doing
Doing
Doing to me
Ah, yeah
You're like a cold beer, darling
On a long-hot summer's day
Yes, you are
You're the words I'm planning
Five part Chekov play
You make a rich man poor
And make a blind man see again
You're ......
As hard as diesel train
And while I'm driving to work
You spill all over my shirt
You're just a wonderful flirt
[Repeat (1)]
'The Old man' line ain't gonna
Take you from my side
I've had the new caviar
Fort Wall and pink champagne
I've seen the Mona Lisa
Drank the wine in France and Spain
I've smelled the rose of Finnland
Tulips of Amsterdam
I've heard the crew line coal train
The bells of Notre dame
But you know what honey
You fill me up
With desire
You've set my soul aflying
Lifted me down to the wire
[Repeat (1)]
Gimme one time
[Repeat (1)]
Please, bass guitar

I was born and raised the only son of a lawyer
till I was approximately the age of four or perhaps five
I lost both my mother and my father
Killed in a fire way up on the fourteenth floor
Struck down by the time I was ten by an illness
which robbed me of the sight of the morning sun
And that ain't all
A homeless child for the next five years
with my dog Clown by my side and my only friend
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I fought my way through school
Sound and touch the thing on which I could depend
And you know what the, the, the kids
down my street weren't too playful
And right then it seemed like the whole world picked on me
And ah yeah
I worked my fingers to the bone
Stretchin' hide for a boot man in Jersey Town
But then, but then I lost the last thing I had
When fate reared its ugly head and took my dog Clown
I wandered way up north found a girl that loved like a woman
Sixteen years old and felt like a woman
But, but, but, but, but what I'm trying to say is
God please don't take her away from me
I lost everything that I ever had
you kicked my name into the dirt
Tread my name into the dirt yeah
I lost everything that I ever had
you kicked my name into the dirt
What could I do
I never knew how much love could hurt me
But it never ever come my way before
No, no, no, no, no
I never knew how much love could hurt me
Good God it ain't never come my way before
Oh but, but you know what I'm trying to say
really what I'm trying to say is
God please don't take her away from me
Ah turn it down
I lost everything that I ever had
you kicked my name into the dirt
You got a lotta lotta lost everything
that I ever had ever had
Been in pain and I've been in shame
But ain't love a bitch
I been in fights, locked away for nights
But ain't love a bitch
I been tailed, impaled, strung up
and nailed and left without a stitch
I been scratched 'n' taxed 'n' finally axed
But ain't love a bitch
Oh I didn't understand till I was seventeen
She took me way upstairs and she wiped me clean
Oh I didn't realize she made a first class fool out of me
Oh Maggie if you're still out there the rest is history
You're all alone in the freezing cold
by the underground
Your hands are numb and you're feeling dumb
cos you been let down
You thought you were rough and kinda tough
and maybe out of reach
You're acting chic, playing hide 'n' seek
But ain't love a bitch
Oh I must state right here I been there before
My eyes were closed and so my friends
I still don't know the score
Oh don't underestimate the strength of it
It may be unwise to analyze even the cause of it
You're driving home late one night and on the radio
Comes an old familiar song you used to know so well
(you know a lot about that)
Oh I can't comprehend this thing called love
Maybe it's a matter of fact I just can't grow up
Deep down ain't we all a little juvenile
All I really wanna know is there one sweet angel
that can make me smile
Ain't love a bitch
Torrential rains, wars and hurricanes
I wouldn't budge an inch
Your rent's unpaid and your team lose again
But ain't love a bitch
You can lose your job, your home and your health
But ain't love a bitch
Take it or leave it some day you'll feel it
'cos love is the bitch
Ain't love the bitch, ain't love a bitch
Ain't love a bitch, ain't love a bitch
Ain't love a bitch
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
(ronnie lane)
Well well hello
And how are you
Fancy seeing you here
Don’t let it show
No look, no one must know
Why there playing tracks of my tears
Just pretend it’s all over
Like you have for so long
I thought time was a healer
But I guess I was wrong
I held you to blame
But we were so young
Oh how was I to know, hey
But you said you still want me
Oh you opened up an old wound
Then you left me here bleeding
And my minds black and blue
Now you got yours
And I got mine
And theres no debts owed you
Oh what can we do

Bright lights, big city
Gone to my baby’s head
Ah bright lights, big city
They’ve gone to my baby’s head
Well I tried to tell you woman
But you don’t listen to what I said
Alright, pretty baby
You’ll knock yourself out some day
Oh alright, pretty baby
You’ll knock yourself out some day
Well I tried to tell you woman
But you don’t listen to what I say
(hopkins, wood, stewart)
I’ve woken up on mornings such as this
And thought exactly the same as I’m thinking now
Every night for a year I’ve slept alone
My cold damp room looks worse than me.
I got a fear of death that creeps on every night
I know I won’t die soon but then again I might
Just like water down the drain I’m wasting away
And oh, doctors can’t help. a ghost of a man, that’s me.
I’m going far
Ah, ah, ah
And oh, water down the drain flows to the sea
The pattern of my life keeps a-hauntin’ me
Like moisture from the ocean fills the sky
Comes on down to the ground as time goes by.
Ah, ah, ah
Please don’t weep for me when I’m gone
Ah, ah, ah
I got a fear of death that creeps on every night
I know I won’t die soon but then again I might
Please don’t weep for me when I’m gone
Ah, ah, ah
A fear of death that creeps on every night
(Ron Wood)
[Instrumental]
It must have been Moonglow,
Way up in the blue,
It must have been Moonglow,
That led me straight to you
I still hear you sayin'
Dear one hold me fast,
And I start to prayin'
Oh Lord, please let this last,
We seem to float right through the air,
Heavenly songs seem to come from everywhere,
And now when there's Moonglow,
Way up in the blue,
I always remember,
That Moonglow gave me you
That Moonglow gave me you
We seem to float right through the air,
Heavenly songs seemed to come from everywhere,
And now when there's Moonglow
Way up in the blue,
I always remember,
That Moonglow gave me you,
That Moonglow gave me you,
(ronnie lane)
May the smile on your face
Come straight from your heart
Takes a lady like you
To write that for me
To wake up with you
Makes my morning so bright
Wipes the sleep from my eyes
When you tell me your dreams
And it goes on and on
Way beyond and out of reach
It’s a well known old secret
Go and tell everyone
Tell everyone
The smile on your face
Comes straight from your heart
If you look you will find
And you wrote that for me
Ooh-hoo-hoo
***THIS IS SIR ELTON JOHN***
It's a little bit funny this feeling inside
I'm not one of those who can easily hide
I don't have much money but boy if I did
I'd buy a big house where we both could live
If I was a sculptor but then again no
Or a man who makes potions in a travelling show
I know it's not much but it's the best I can do
My gift is my song and this one's for you
(Chorus)
And you can tell everybody that this is your song
It may be quite simple but now that it's done
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world
I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss
Well a few of the verses well they've got me quite cross
But the sun's been quite kind while I wrote this song
It's for people like you that keep it turned on
So excuse me forgetting but these things I do
You see I've forgotten if they're green or they're blue
Anyway the thing is what I really mean
Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen
(Chorus)
I don't like you but I love you
Seems that I'm always thinking of you
Oh, you treat me badly, I love you madly
You've really got a hold on me
You've really got a hold on me, baby
I don't want you but I need you
Don't want to kiss you but I need to
Oh, you do me wrong now, my love is strong now
You've really got a hold on me
You've really got a hold on me, baby
I love you and all I want you to do is
Just hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me
Tighter, tighter
I wanna leave you, don't wanna stay here
Don't wanna spend another day here
Oh, I wanna split now, I can't quit now
You've really got a hold on me
You've really got a hold on me, baby
I love you and all I want you to do is
Just hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me
You've really got a hold on me
I said you've really got a hold on me, baby
You've really got a hold on me
Oh, you've really got a hold on me
I said you've really got a hold on me
(Ian McLagan, Ronnie Lane)
My mom she likes you
She thinks your swell
Got the makings of a dance hall girl
Your lowcut frock and your birds nest hair
Stepping up heels and the way that you smell
She says to take you back
To see my folks again
On Sunday
Why it looks as though theres nobody in
They've all went out to see my Auntie Renny
Don't you worry you just come right in
I'm sure we'll pass the time til they come home
Well let me take your coat
Take off your shoes, warm your toes
Try the sofa
Its getting dark we'll miss the late night bus
It's only eight but I'm not taking any chances
Whats that noise why'd they come back so soon
Straighten your dress you're really looking a mess
I'll wet my sox pretend we just got caught in the rain
Oh your so rude
(willie dixon and j.b. lenore)
You know you shook me,
You shook me all night long, yes you did.
You know you shook me,
You shook me all night long.
And the way that you love me baby, (you know what you do? )
You mess up my happy home.
(dig this)
You know you love me,
Just like a hurricane.
You know you love me,
Just like a hurricane.
And the way that you love me baby,
You mess up my happy home, (you’re so bad).
Come on ...
Darling you send me
I know you send me
Darling you send me
Honest you do, honest you do
Honest you do, whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
You thrill me
I know you, you, you thrill me
Darling you, you, you, you thrill me
Honest you do
At first I thought it was infatuation
But woo, it's lasted so long
Now I find myself wanting
To marry you and take you home
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
You, you, you, you send me
I know you send me
I know you send me
Honest you do
Whoa-oh-oh, whenever I'm with you
I know, I know, I know when I'm near you
Mmm hmm, mmm hmm, honest you do, honest you do
Whoa-oh-oh, I know-oh-oh-oh
I know, I know, I know, when you hold me
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh, whenever you kiss me
Mmm hmm, mmm hmm, honest you do
At first I thought it was infatuation
But woo, it's lasted so long
Now I find myself wanting
To marry you and take you home
I know, I know, I know, you send me
I know you send me
Whoa-oh-oh-oh, you you you you send me
(rafferty/egan)
I can look out my window
Or stare at the wall
It really didn’t matter
Na, I just didn’t care at all
Could be sitting by the water
Counting every stone
But nothing means nothing
When your empty and on your own
Cause you put something better
Inside of me
You put something better
Inside of me
Makes me so much stronger
I’m amazed at the change in me
Well I knew what I was doing
I was running away
Busy going nowhere
Just wasting the time of day
I was walking down the road
Kicking at the stones
Nothing means nothing
When your empty and on your own
Know why?
You put something better inside of me
Makes me so much stronger
I’m amazed at the change in me
You put something better inside of me
Makes me so much stronger
I’m amazed at the change in me
You made me so much stronger
I’m amazed at the change in me
Take me home
My love, I'll never find the words, my love
To tell you how I feel, my love
Mere words could not explain
Precious love, you held my life within your hands
Created everything I am
Taught me how to live again
Only you cared when I needed a friend
Believed in me through thick and thin
This song is for you filled with gratitude and love
God bless you, you make me feel brand new
For God blessed me with you, you make me feel brand new
I sing this song 'cause you make me feel brand new
My love, whenever I was insecure
You built me up and made me sure
You gave my pride back to me
Precious friend, with you I'll always have a friend
Someone who I can depend
To walk a path that sometimes bends
Without you life has no meaning or rhyme
Like notes to a song out of time
How can I repay you for having faith in me?
God bless you, you make me feel brand new
For God blessed me with you, you make me feel brand new
I sing this song 'cause you, you make me feel brand new
I sing this song for you, for you
I'll sing it to you, darling
I'll sing it to you everyday
(Rod Stewart, Ron Wood, Kenny Jones, Tetsu Yamauchi, Ian McLagan)
Hey baby, I wanna say somethin' to ya', listen
Sometimes when I get out of my head
And I say all the wrong things
Sometimes I know I stay out late at night
And I get back fighting, hey babe
Somehow all my plans
Keep slippin' through my hands
And I end up crying, but listen
I can be a millionaire
Honey when you're standing there
You're so exciting
You can make me dance, you can make me sing,
You can make me do just any old thing, and I love it
Sometimes I wanna get up so early
And get away from here girl
Summer's gone, and before long
North winds blow, that bring the snow
I'll keep us warm girl
My schemes it seems, are merely dreams
Fading with each morning, hey babe
But this old heart of mine
Is far too proud not to keep on tryin'
You can make me dance, you can make me sing,
You can make me do just any old thing, yeah baby
Ah yeah
So little bird don't fly away
Want you here every day
Don't ever leave me
I'd rather lose both my eyes
Than never see your smiling face again girl
You can make me dance, you can make me sing,
You can make me do just any old thing
You can make me dance, you can make me sing,
You can make me do just any old thing
Hey babe
Keep on loving me babe, yeah
Keep on loving me babe
Just keep on loving me babe
Just keep on loving me babe
Just keep on loving, ooh babe
Just keep on loving me darling
Just keep on loving me darling
Just keep on loving me darling, darling, darling, darling
Ha ha
Woww, alright
Hey baby
Oh darling
Keep on loving me darling
Just keep on loving me darling
Just keep on loving me darling
Just keep on loving me darling
(bob dylan)
There was a wicked messenger, from eli he did come,
With a mind that multiplied the smallest matter
When questioned who had sent for him he answered with a thumb.
For his tongue it could not speak but only flatter
He stayed behind the assembly hall, it was there that he made his bed.
And often times he could be seen returning. oh oh
Until one day he just appeared with a note in his hand which read,
"the soles of my feet, I swear they’re burning".
Ooh hoo hoo
The leaves began to falling and the seas began to part,
And the people that confronted him were many
The leaves began to falling and the seas began to part,
And the people that confronted him were many
And he was told these last few words which opened up his heart,
"if you cannot bring good news, then don’t bring any"
Oh oh
If you cannot bring good news, then don’t bring any
Oooh hoo hoo hoo
And opened up his heart
Oooh hoo hoo

You know it ain't right to beat a man when he's down
Know it ain't right to eat when the hunger's around
It keeps on worryin' me, as all around I see
And still it goes on
Why does it go on ?
Why does it go on ?
You know it ain't right to take another man's life
You know it ain't right to take another man's wife
Keeps gettin' through to me, as everywhere I see
Why does it go on ?
Why does it go on ?
Why does it go on ?
They don't want love today
It's headin' all the way
They'll burn your book and pencil boy
Throw your mind away
A man don't steal, but has to work for his pay
(let me tell you one thing)
A poker man deals from the top when he plays
But all good things we take
We don't build, we just break
Why does it go on ?
Why does it go on ?
Why does it go on ?
They don't want love today
It's headin' all the way
They'll burn your book and pencil boy
Throw your mind away
A man don't steal, but has to work for his pay
(let me tell you one thing)
A poker man deals from the top when he plays
But all good things we take
We don't build, we just break
Why does it go on ?
Why does it go on ?
Why does it go on ? yeah
Well I arrived on time
My courduroy suit and me bottle of wine
There were women wall to wall
It's Saturday night and I wanted them all
everyone
Sidled up for a dance
I tried a new step and fell in the plants
I told a joke, about the Pope
It wasn't as funny as I would've hoped
Nobody told me she was the daughter
of the mayor
I was so embarrassed, I just wished the
ground would swallow me up
Accidentally my elbow hit the record player
The rock 'n' roll stopped
and everybody just stared
(oh no)
Who's gonna take me home
I'm tired and I wanna go to bed
Who's gonna take me home
This party's gone right to my head
I didn't worry, not me
Panic ain't in my vocabulary
Smashed beyond reproach
Suddenly I wanted to take off my clothes
All hell broke loose
I started to take off my trousers and shoes
And so I tried to look cool
I stepped back and fell in the pool
The hostess helped me out
and asked for my dismissal
I said I was sorry, but I've been
under so much pressure
just lately, baby
I felt as popular as a Russian guided missile
The last thing I remember, I left with a girl
on a motor bike
That weighed three hundred pounds and
what's wrong with that
Who's gonna take me home
I'm tired and I wanna go to bed
Who's gonna take me home
This party's gone right to my head
to my head
I woke up on the floor
Still in my suit and she told me I snored
I never felt so cheap
I had a good laugh at the size of her feet
Holy Moses, I don't like this single living
I think I'll find me a nice local girl and
settle on down, now
With a home and a garden
and a nature quite forgiving
Then again maybe I'll just hang around
Who's gonna take me home
I'm tired and I wanna go to bed, right now
Who's gonna take me home
This party's gone right to my head
to my head
Now who's gonna take me home
Hey Brian could you give me a lift 'cos I don't live
too far from you, boy
Mary c'mon I've known you so long please give
me a lift home, oh c'mon
Jim oh c'mon boys would you just
give me a lift home
I don't live too far from here and I'm so tired
(R. Stewart, K. Savigar, J. Davis)

Jim oh c'mon boys would you just
give me a lift home
I don't live too far from here and I'm so tired
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,

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.
As I walk this land of broken dreams
I have visions of many things
But happiness is just an illusion
Filled with sadness and confusion
What becomes of the brokenhearted
Who had love that's now departed?
I know I've got to find some kind of peace of mind, maybe
The roots of love grow all around
But for me they come a-tumbling down
Everyday heartaches grow a little stronger
I can't stand this pain much longer
I walk in shadows, searching for light
Cold and alone, no comfort in sight
Hoping and praying for someone who cares
Always moving but going nowhere
What becomes of the brokenhearted
Who had love that's now departed?
I know I've got to find some kind of peace of mind, help me please
I'm searching though I don't succeed
For someone's love, there's a growing need
All is lost, there's no place for beginning
All that's left is an unhappy ending
Now what becomes of the brokenhearted
Who had love that's now departed?
I know I've got to find some kind of peace of mind
I'll be searching everywhere just to find someone to care
I'll be looking everyday, I know I've gotta find a way
Nothing's gonna stop me now, I'll find a way somehow
I'll be searching everywhere just to find someone who cares
I'll be looking everyday, I know I've gotta find a way
What becomes of the brokenhearted?
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

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

Individually quite unique

The day will come when out of empty space
A flash of fire will light the children’s face
Hopelessly, their last tears they will cry
Be too late to ask our leaders why
The day will come, a day of sorrow
A day we’ll see them strollin’ out to tomorrow.
The song of life that once we knew so well
Will not be heard as we’re led into hell
Death is close, yes I can see the sign
And down your street the blood will flow like wine
The day will come, a day of sorrow
A day we’ll see them strollin’ out tomorrow
The day will come and swallow up the sun
We can’t escape, we’ve got nowhere to run
The generals must be found some work to do
The medals must be bought by me and you, yeah
The day will come of pain and sorrow
And we’ll see them strollin’ out tomorrow
The day will come
The day will come
The day will come
People say I'm the life of the party
'Cause I tell a joke or two
Although I might be laughing loud and hearty
Deep inside I'm blue
So take a good look at my face
You'll my smile looks out of place
If you look closer it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears
I need you, need you
Since you left me if you see me with another girl
Seeming like I'm having fun
Although she might be cute, she's just a substitute
Because you're the permanent one
So take a good look at my face
You'll see my smile looks out of place
If you look closer it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears
I need you, I need you
I need you, I need you
Outside I'm masquerading, inside my hope is fading
I'm just a clown, just a clown since you put me down
My smile is my makeup I wear since my breakup with you
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, take a good look at my face
Yeah, you'll see my smile looks out of place
If you look closer it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears
Baby, baby, baby, baby, take a good look at my face
Yeah, you'll see my smile looks out of place
If you look closer it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears, the tracks of my tears
If you look closer it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears
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.
[instrumental verse]
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,
Tora, Tora, Tora, out with the boys tonight.
playing fast, ain't it
(ron wood/rod stewart)
Too bad we was thrown downstairs
You never got a chance to sing
We were quite polite
With one invite
To keep us off the streeet
We mingled for a minute or two
With the high class clientele
And then somebody said who invited them
Them that crowd of refugees
What an insult to be shown the door
Before we could shake a leg
I was most intrigued by the colored queen
Bleeding on the kitchen door
Then I was ushered with my friends
By the butler who was twelve feet tall
Well let me please explain
That were not to blame
We just don’t have the right accent
No, no
All we wanted to do was to socialize
Oh you know it’s a shame
I was always getting the pain
All we wanted to do was to socialize
Oh you know it’s a shame
How we always get the blame
Twenty girls, damp hotels
Is where I’m gonna stay
Cause now I see what it’s all about
I didn’t at the old school side
Don’t worry we had more fun
Waiting for the all night bus
Too bad my regional tongue
Gave us away again
There's a somebody I'm longing to see
I hope that she turns out to be
Someone who'll watch over me
I'm a little lamb who's lost in a wood
I know I could always be good
To one who'll watch over me
Although I may not be the man
Some girls think of as handsome
But to her heart
I carry the key
Won't you tell her please to put on some speed
Follow my lead, oh how I need
Someone to watch over me
I'm a little lamb who's lost in a wood
I know I could always be good
To one who'll watch over me
Although I may not be the man
Some girls think of as handsome
But to her heart
I carry the key
And this world would be like heaven, if she'd
Follow my lead, oh how I need
Someone to watch over me
(Barry and Robin Gibb)
with Booker T. & the MG's (1975)
There's a light,
a certain kind a' light
that never shone on me.
I want my life to be, to live with you.
To live with you.
And there's a way, ev'rybody says,
to do each and ev'ry little thing.
But what does it mean
if I ain't got you, if ain't got you?
'Cause you don't know what it's like
you don't know what it's like
to love somebody,
to love somebody
the way I love you.
If I pray
I see your face again;
But I know not where to find
You ain't got to be so blind
I'm blind, so very very blind
I'm a man,
can't you see what I am?
I move heaven and earth for you
But what does this man do
if he ain't got you, if he ain't got you?
'cause you don't know what it's like, baby,
you don't know what it's like
to love somebody,
to love somebody
the way I love you, I love you, I love you
'cause you don't know what it's like, baby,
you don't know what it's like
to love somebody,
to love somebody
the way I love you, I love you, I love you, ha
Ooh yeah
Ooh yeah
Oh baby
you don't know what it's like
you never never know what it's like
to love somebody,
to love somebody
the way I love you, I love you, I love you
yeah
you never, never know what it's like,
honey
ooh baby
I love ya, I love ya, I love ya
God almighty, I love ya
(rod stewart, ian mclagen)
I don’t need no one’s opinion
On the matter concerning my dress.
I was raised in a clinic down in oklahoma,
There were many things I did not possess.
Well I never complained, because my father said,
"son you get your chance before you’re my age".
Then he took me upstairs and gave me this suit
(? ) written all over his face
He said, "others may come and others may go,
But that suit will be around wherever you’re goin’"
Three button hand me down
Three button hand me down
Hold on a minute
Now I had my fair share of neat women,
But they came between me and my suit.
That was a filly from boston, a barmaid from houston,
Not forgetting the one in detroit.
They said, "we like you boy and we think you’re sweet,
But can’t you lose your suit? "
I said, "nononono, you can’t do that to me"
I remember what my father said:
He said, "others may come and others may go,
But that suit will be around wherever you’re goin’"
Three button hand me down, ha ha,
Three button hand me down
I’ve never been a tidy dresser
And the fold in my trousers it ain’t straight.
Still I know a good cloth when I see one.
That’s why I’m clad in this gray flannel suit.
Sometimes I wonder if I should visit a tailor
And get myself a smooth outfit.
Then I remember what my father said to me.
I make it from the open road, you all know this
He said, "others may come and others may go,
But that suit will be around wherever you go"
Three button hand me down,
Three button hand me down, ha ha
Down below on Baker Street
Lay your head back
On this field of dreams
And close your eyes
There's a few that find love
On Sundays down by the sea
And they wash clean like angels
High above the waves so free
I have no words to say to you
I have no dream to take you to
I have no ring for you to kiss
Baby, all I have is this
Pray for grace
Keep the faith
Walk on down the road
Wait for me, look for love
Are you fearless, reckless
Homeless and all alone
Can you make love, heal things
Make my heart go wild again
(1) I have no words to say to you
I have no dream to take you to
I have no ring for you to kiss
Baby, all I have is this
I have no way to hold you now
I have no time to show you how
I have no gold, nothing to risk
Baby, all I have is this
And she says
It doesn't matter anymore
There's a few that find love
On Sundays down by the sea
And they wash clean
Like angels' wings
High above the waves so free
[Repeat (1)]
All I have is on my sleeve
All I want is your sweet love, baby
All I saw was open space
Walk down the road
Fearless, fearless
All I have is this
This is an instrumental by David Rose Orchestra and was popular in the early 1960's. Rod Stewart used it as an introduction to many of his concerts with the Faces. Rod Stewart and / or Faces never recorded it.
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
In these days of changing ways

You always said living with me was impossible
Try it I said just like the wind I'm changeable
We ain't got money but we sure got laughs
lots of loving too
So I confess on my behalf
you're giving me honestly
the best days of my life
Your whispering girls said don't be a fool
don't give into him
He's an animal treat you like dirt
then he'll turn you in
You two are not compatible
It'll never never last
They said I wasn't even suitable
But you're giving me honestly
the best days of my life
Sometimes I wonder
why does she bother with me at all
So staid in my ways
Let's face it my dear, I'm insufferable
The crazy nights spilling into days
with all my noisy friends
But they all love you as much as I
Giving me constantly
the best days of my life
And a day without you at this point my dear
seems unthinkable
A night without you more often
than not is unbearable
But if it all can't work out
one can never never tell
In my heart there is no doubt
you gave to me unselfishly
the best days of my life
But if it all can't work out one can never never tell
(Swaying back and forth)
And I never thought I'd feel this way
And as far as I'm concerned
I'm glad I got the chance to say
That I do believe I love you
And if I should ever go away
Well then close your eyes and try
To feel the way we do today
And then if you can remember
(Chorus)
Keep smiling, keep shining
Knowing you can always count on me for sure
That's what friends are for
For good times, and bad times
I'll be on your side forevermore
That's what friends are for
Well you came and opened me
And now there's so much more I see
So by the way I thank you
And then for the times when we're apart
Well then close your eyes and know
These words are coming from my heart
And then if you can remember
(Chorus)
(Ron Wood/Rod Stewart)
Sit right down if you can spare me a minute
I got a tale thats bound to break your heart
Concerns my brother who's thin and played violin
Got it in his head that an IQ is all you need
He went his way I couldn't discover mine
I didn't worry if I ever saw him again
He's made a profit while I don't even own a pocket
And the last I heard he was sitting at the top of the tree
Wait a minute
Late last night reading my underground press
Came a knock on the door thought it was the third world war
Lord above I did not recognize him
I said have a cup of coke here maybe thats all you need
He said the smell of the city
Kid it's trying to kill me
My eyes are getting muddy
Christ I'm aging fast
My kind of music I knew it wasn't gonna to be simple
But have a quick listen kid maybe thats all you need
Don't stop you make me feel much better
Tell me my brother do you think that's all I need
yea yea
Don't it make you happy
Well, well, well, well, well
That's all you need
That's all you need
That's all you need
That's all you need
(repeat and fade)
(stewart)
By the time I was home
I was feeling bad
Never the less I go mine
Straight out of bed
I was feeling my head
But i’m
So, tired I just got to get home
So, tired I just got to get home
Surely it’s time
You should face the facts
I’m not the one that you need
I don’t need to feed you
Or need you or lead you im
So, tired I just want to get home
So, tired I just wanna get home
I’ve never been one
For just putting around
Keep it in my trousers all night
Surely I’m right
When you stay out all night
And i’m
So, tired I just wanna go home
So, tired I just wanna, wanna,
Wanna go home
And you know that your
Out of your depth my dear
When you take home
Someone like me
Its been such a long time
I can hardly stay out
And i’m
So, tired I just wanna go home
So, tired I just wanna go home
So, tired I just wanna go home
And I’m so
Well the pressure's down,
the boss ain't here
he's gone North for a while
They said that vanity
Got the best of him
But he sure left here after sundown.
By the way, that's a cute hat that you're wearing
And that smile so hard to resist
What's a sweetheart like you doing in a dump like this?
You know I once knew a woman who looked like you
She wanted a whole man, not just a half
She used to call me Sweet Daddy, when I was a child
You kind of remind me of her when you laugh
To deal in this game, you must make the queen disappear
It's done with a flick of the wrist
What's a sweetheart like you doing in a dump like this?
You know a woman like you should be at home
It's where you truly belong
Watching out for someone who loves you true
Who would never never do you no wrong
Just how much abuse you can take? - Well,
There's no way to tell by that first lonely kiss
What's a sweetheart like you doing in a dump like this?
You know you could make a name of yourself
You can hear those tyres squeal
You can be known as the most beautiful woman
Whoever crawled across cut glass to make a deal ...
You know the news of you has come down the line
Even before you came in the door
They say in your father's house there's many mansions
Each one of them got a fire-proof floor
Snap out of it Baby, people are jealous of you
They smile in your face, but behind your back they hiss
What's a sweetheart like you doing in a dump like this?
Got to be an important person to come in here honey
Got to have done some evil deed
Got to have your own harm when you come in the door
Got to play your harp until your lips bleed ...
They say patriotism is the last refuge
To which a scoundrel claime
Steal a little, and they'll throw you in jail
Steal a lot, and they'll make you a king
There's only one step down from here Baby
It's the land of the permanent bliss -
So what's a sweetheart like you doing in a dump like this?
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
Here we go babe putting each other down
I don't know how long this love will last
if we keep kicking it around
We threaten each other with leaving
neither one of us giving in
We're walking on thin ice baby
I don't wanna see it end
And oh I've never let any woman this close to me
Don't let me down
put in some trust don't give up on us
Strangers again
We should talk it over
Strangers again
Let's make love and say we're sorry
Strangers again
We both need a shoulder, don't let it go
I can't stand the silence
when we don't get along
Both of us believing
that the other must surely be wrong
So strange how two people
can be so very cruel
Both of us should know by now
neither one's the other one's fool
And oh I've never let any woman this close to me
So don't let me down
put in some trust don't give up on us
Strangers again
We should talk it over
Strangers again
Let's make love and say we're sorry
Strangers again
We both need a shoulder, don't let it go
Oh I've never let any woman this close to me
So don't let me down
Why don't ya put in some trust
don't give up on us
Strangers again
We should talk it over
Strangers again
Let's make love and say we're sorry
Strangers again
We both need a shoulder, don't let it go
Strangers again
I don't know what happened
Strangers again
Yesterday was full of passion
Strangers again
We both need a shoulder, don't let it go
(ron wood, ronnie lane)
Well I shake and I shudder and I shiver
In my bath while it’s cold and my windows are broken,
As my poor dog lays a-chokin’ on the floor.
Well I cried to my father and my mother,
There’s no justice divine, I wonder when I get mine.
’cause I’m so sick and tired of waitin’ for the lord.
I find just what it is I’m looking for
Ooh hoo hoo
Oh yeah
There’s a man that wants to show me the river.
Hoofing at five I’ll be more dead than alive.
I find a reason to survive when I’m too old.
Should I walk in the lightning and the thunder
On a hilltop so high and show my face to the sky ?
Will I find just what it is I’m looking for ?
I find just what it is I’m looking for
I find just what it is I’m looking for
I find just what it is
I was told by a good friend
you were untouchable, out of my reach.
But the first time ever I saw you,
I spilled my cherry lime over your dress.
You said, Don't you worry, it's not my best one.
First encounter, hardly the best.
But I would not change a thing
if I could do it all over again.
All I'm tryin' to say in my awkward way is,
I still love you.
Didn't I try to impress you,
but my old Chevy van kept breakin' down.
And my one room over the drugstore,
we watched the neon lights go out over town.
And some nights we'd go out dancin',
come home singin' by the Erie Canal.
two hearts gently poundin'
as that mornin' train came janglin' through.
But I would not change a thing
if I could do it all over again.
All I'm tryin' to say in my awkward way is,
I still love you.
Well darlin', didn't I promise
I'd never go so far away again?
But here I am writin' this letter;
goodbye to you, my love, see you again.
But I would not change a thing
if I could do it all over again.
All I'm tryin' to say in my awkward way is,
I still love you.
No one looks as I walk by
Just an invitation would have been just fine
Said no to her again, again and again
First she took my heart then she ran
No one knows just how I feel
What I say unless you read between the lines
One girl walked away from me
First she took my head and then she
Take me home.
Stand back, stand back
In the middle of my room
I did not hear from you
It's all right, it's all right
You'll be standing in line
You'll be standing in line
I will cry
Do not turn away my friend
Like a river I can bend
No one calls out my name
And no one came
So I walked on down the line and waited for you
Maybe your protected from all that you do
One girl, did not call
She asked me for my love and that was all
Stand back, Stand back
In the middle of my room
I did not hear from you
It's alright, it's alright
You'll be standing in line
You'll be standing in line
I will cry
So I walked on down the line and waited for you
Maybe your attention was more than I could do
One girl, did not fall
She asked me for my love and that was all
Stand back, Stand back
In the middle of my room
I did not hear from you
It's alright, it's alright
You'll be standing in line
You'll be standing in line
I will cry
Gotta find a little sympathy ....
Try and ask me anything....
Gotta find a little sympaty....
Can I find a little sympathy.....
(beck, stewart, wood)
I used to work and take a salary
In a hole up near a foundry
But it did not take me too long
To get my boots on a "so long!"
Long spanish boots on a "so long!"
I took a day job in bethlehem
I nearly threw in the towel then
But it did not take me too long
To get my boots on a "so long!"
High spanish boots on a "so long!"
Dig it
I took a spanish haberdashery
Restored with 15th century tapestry
But oh, mr. nesbitt got the best of me
So I strapped on my boots and said "so long!"
Laced up my high boots and "so long!"
Goodbye
... am on a job you see
’cause my old boots they mean too much to me
Leather boots are just a mystery
Put on my boots and said "so long!"
High spanish boots on and "so long!"
Put on my boots and said "so long!"
Those old spanish boots
Put on my boots and said "so long!"
High spanish boots
No one ever told me, no one ever said
No one ever loved me, till I was goin' outta my head
No one ever listened, to the things I tried to say
You gave me everything I needed, that's your way
You gave me hope, you gave me love
You gave me faith to carry on
Good God have mercy on me
Don't you desert me, baby
I wanna be together soul on soul this time
[Believe me, baby] believe me, baby
Don't ever leave me lonely
I wanna be together soul on soul this time
No one ever held me, as good as this before
No one ever stopped me, when I was runnin' out of the door
You set me free, you made me shine
You gave me arms to make you mine
Good God have mercy on me
Don't you desert me, baby
I wanna be together soul on soul this time
[Believe me, baby] believe me, baby
Don't ever leave me lonely
I wanna be together soul on soul this time
Love made me so gun shy
Don't say, don't say another word
Love feels so radical
That I lose my way, when you're here by me
Good God have mercy on me
Don't you desert me, baby
I wanna be together soul on soul this time
[Believe me, baby] believe me, baby
Don't ever leave me lonely
I wanna be together soul on soul this time
Good God have mercy on me (have mercy)
Don't you desert me, baby
I wanna be together soul on soul this time
(I wanna be together soul on soul this time)
[Believe me, baby] believe me, baby (believe me, baby)
Don't ever leave me lonely
(Don't ever, ever leave me)
I wanna be together soul on soul this time (soul on soul this time)
Good God have mercy on me
(Good God have mercy on me)
Don't you desert me, baby
(Don't you desert me, baby)
I wanna be together soul on soul this time (soul on soul this time)
[Believe me, baby] (ooh, ooh) believe me, baby
Don't ever leave me lonely
I wanna be together soul on soul this time
(I wanna be together soul on soul this time)
(1) Soothe Me, Baby
Soothe me
Soothe me with your eyes
Though I know
Your powerful loving is
Soothing to me
I used to hire a lot of girls
Hot and big and small
Since I meet this baby of mine
I don't want mother girls at all
(2) Soothe me, baby
Soothe me
Soothe me with your kindness
Though I know your powerful loving is
Soothing to me
Oh, how I used to ramble
Oh, how I used to roam
Since I found this pretty little baby
All I want to do
Is stay at home
At home
[Repeat (1)]
One more time, man
(3) Soothe me baby
Soothe me
Soothe me with your kindness
Though I know
Your mama don't like it
It's soothing to me
Oh, once I was a worried man
I was drinking night and day
Now, I've got this angel by my side
All my worries have drifted away
[Repeat (3)]
Soothe me, baby
Soothe me, baby
Soothe me, baby
[Repeat (2)]

Wait a minute honey
I don’t think the joke’s so too funny, no
I stayed up all night
Checking out the doctor’s guide
Wait a minute honey
Stop pretending you’re a bunny
Well I might’ve guessed
You been to see a specialist.
I remember you said
That we gotta keep a breast of time
But obviously you don’t know where to draw the line, well
Don’t try to tell me it’s a-what you been eating
Since when have you been forty-four around (get on with the song, yeah)
Dig this, at the moulin rouge tell you baby, we could knock’em dead
Just sign right here all I need is ten per cent.
Well, now you make me feel like a pimp in the white house
For a senator’s daughter you’re stealing all the headline news,
All the headline news.
Oh shake me, shake me, shake me up all night long
We all need a laugh and I guess you’re just the one
Well you got more front than haig museum
Oh home grown silicone you really got the best of me
You got the best of me
People were standing, all around
At a shot gun wedding, here in this town
And I'm a victim oh yea
of a shotgun wedding
Cause your fathers got a gun
and there ain't no place to run
Shotgun wedding and oh listen to me
Well I got to find a job
You, me, baby makes three
Shotgun, shotgun, shotgun, wedding oh yea
Cause your fathers got a gun
and there ain't no place to run
Shotgun wedding
And all I could hear that day was
Do you take this woman
to be your lawful wedded wife
my my my my shotgun, shotgun, shotgun, shotgun wedding
I looked around
I looked around
and all I could see was a shotgun wedding....listen
But I tried to run from town
but her mother tracked me down
She said before I meet my maker,
some mans gonna make an honest woman of my daughter
so it might as well be you
Oh daddy may be poor
but he owns a forty forty
Shotgun wedding
and oh I'm walking up the aisle right now
Here comes the bride singing
Shotgun, shotgun, shotgun, shotgun, shotgun.....yea yeaaaa
I could of run away oh no I could be living high
Nobody could stop me now oh shotgun, shotgun
Just give me one more chance
Let me hear that bass boys that bass boys
breaking my heart
breaking my heart
breaking my heart........

Shelly my love
I only long to be where you are
Shelly my love
Now and forevermore
Shelly my love
When I see you I catch fire
And soon I'm all aflame
I feel it start
Whenever you call my name
All around I feel a passion
That thrills my very soul
I put it down
To that I love you so
Shelly my love
I only long to be where you are
Shelly my love
Now and forevermore
Shelly my love
Oh Shelly my love
All around I feel a passion
That thrills my very soul
I put it down
To that I love you so
Oh Shelly my love
If this time I'm into somethin'
That is not of this world
The love I've got
It's supernatural, girl
Shelly my love
I only long to be where you are
Shelly my love
Now and forevermore
Shelly my love
Shelly, my love
Shelly, my love
Shelly, my love
Nighttime is only the other side of daytime
but if you've ever waited for the sun
you know what it's like to wish daytime would come
And don't it seem like a long time
seem like a long time, seem like a long, long time
Hard times are only the other side of good times
but if you ever wished hard times were gone
you know what it's like to wish good times would come
And don't it seem like a long time
seem like a long time, seem like a long, long time
Help me, seems like a long time
seems like a long time, seems like a long, long time
And don't it seem like a long time
seem like a long time, seem like a long, long time
And don't it seem like a long time
seem like a long time, seem like a long, long time
And don't it seems like a long time
seems like a long time, seems like a long, long time
You know it makes me sad
seems like a long time, seems like a long time
seems like a long, long time
War time is only the other side of peace time
but if you've ever seen how wars are won
you know what it's like to wish peace time would come
And don't it seem like a long time
seem like a long time, seems like a long, long time
Secret heart, what are made of
What are you so afraid of
Could it be three simple words
Or the fear of being overheard
What's wrong
Let her in your secret heart
Secret Heart, why so mysterious
Why so sacred, why so serious
Maybe you're just acting tough
Maybe you're just not bad enough
What's wrong
(1) Let her in on your secret heart
This very secret
You're trying to conceal
is the very same one
You're dying to reveal
Go tell her how you feel
[Repeat (1)]
Look at all the problems
That we've been through
How can you tell me
That there's somebody new
I don't believe that I'm hearing this
I don't really think that you're serious
Well you picked a fine time to hesitate
See it my way I've nothing left
You can take my heart but don't steal my pride
Think it over before I'm pushed aside
And tell me
Say it ain't true
That's all you gotta do, baby
Say it ain't true
Well I thought this one was bound to last
Together forever oh what a laugh
It's going to hurt when I set you free
I've been loving you too long
You're a part of me
So tell me
Say it ain't true, Tell me baby
Say it ain't true
Put yourself in my place for a little while
Going out of fashion growing out of style
No one to laugh with nobody to share
No one to lean on nobody to care
Nothing left but a memory
I gave you my heart so stay with me
And tell me
Say it ain't true
Say it ain't true
Tell me baby
Say it ain't true
I love you baby
I love you baby
I just want to do right by you honey
Wouldn't do you no wrong
(Hopkins, Wood, Stewart)
I've woken up on mornings such as this
And thought exactly the same as I'm thinking now
Every night for a year I've slept alone
My cold damp room looks worse than me.
I got a fear of death that creeps on every night
I know I won't die soon but then again I might
Just like water down the drain I'm wasting away
And oh, doctors can't help. A ghost of a man, that's me.
I'm going far
Ah, ah, ah
And oh, water down the drain flows to the sea
The pattern of my life keeps a-hauntin' me
Like moisture from the ocean fills the sky
Comes on down to the ground as time goes by.
Ah, ah, ah
Please don't weep for me when I'm gone
Ah, ah, ah
I got a fear of death that creeps on every night
I know I won't die soon but then again I might
Please don't weep for me when I'm gone
Ah, ah, ah
A fear of death that creeps on every night
(Oscar Hammerstein II and Jerome Kern)
Old man river, that old man river,
He don't say nothin', but he must know somethin'
That old man river, he just keeps rolling along.
He don't plant tater's,
and we all know he don't pick cotton.
But them that plant 'em, are soon forgotten, that
Old man river, he just keeps rolling along, oh yes he does.
You and me, we sweat and toil,
Our bodies all achin' and racked with pain, now listen!
Lift that bar, you'd better, tote that bail,
And if ya' get a little drunk,
You'll land in jail.
I'm so weary, and sick of tryin',
I'm tired of livin', but afraid of dyin'.
That, that god-darn' old river, he just keeps rolling along.
Keep on rollin' along.
Keep on rollin' along.
Old man river don't you stop your way.
Keep on runnin' from the north, the south, the east or west,
you gotta roll it ...
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ooh, ooh (ooh, ooh)
No matter how long it takes, baby
It would never be a day too long
All the mistakes I made
And the games that I played
Didn't know I was needin' you so bad
But I never thought that I would feel so lonely
And I never thought that I would feel so sad
I wanna run back into your arms tonight
I want you back here where you belong
I wanna take back all of those lies I told
I was wrong, so wrong
And now you're gone
Oh, yeah
Now you're gone
Just give me another chance, baby
To show you how much I really care
All that I put you through
I never knew
Didn't know I was makin' you so sad
Baby, now that you have given me a reason
And the time has come for me to understand
I wanna run back into your arms tonight
I want you back here where you belong
I wanna take back all of those lies I told
I was wrong, so wrong
And now you're gone
Now you're gone
Ooh, ooh
But you never miss the water till the well runs dry
But ya left me cold and lonely
And I know the reason why
I wanna run back into your arms tonight
I want you back here where you belong
I wanna take back all of those lies I told
I was wrong, so wrong
And now you're gone
Now you're gone
And now you're gone
All alone
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
I miss you, baby
I wanna run back to your arms
Sometime
Yeah, hey, babe
And now you're gone
Now you're gone
And now you're gone
Ever since I was a young boy
I played the silver ball
from Soho down to Brighton
I must have played them all
But I ain't seen anyone like him
In any amusement hall
that deaf dumb and blind kid
sure pays a mean pin ball
He stands like a statue
becomes part of the machine
feeling all the bumpers
always playing clean
he plays by intuition
never seen him fall
that deaf dumb and blind kid
sure plays a mean pin ball
he's a pin ball wizard
there has to be a twist
the pin ball wizard
has gor a supple wrist
How do you think he does it ?
I don't know
What makes him so good?
He ain't got no distraction
he can't hear the buzz and bells
he don't see lights a flashing
he plays by sense of smell
always gets the replay
the digit counter falls
that deaf dumb and blind kid
sure plays a mean pin ball
he's a pin ball wizard
there has to be a twist
the pin ball wizard
has got a supple wrist
(ronnie lane)
I wish i
I wish I was in richmond
I do, I would i
I wish i
I wish I was back home
I’m waitin’ here in new york city
The rain is falling
There’s no one who cares
There’s no one loves me here
The women
They may look very pretty
And some they know it
But some look good
They show a leg and smile
But they all look like the flowers
In someone else’s garden
I’ll not act on love
For anyone but you
Hmm-mmm, hmm-mmm
(beck, wood, hopkins, newman)
[instrumental]
I picked her up about a quarter to nine
My brother told me I was wasting my time
A woman like that'll only cause you confusion
but go ahead you may find it amusing
She came to the door wearing a suit and tie
her hair cropped short I couldn't figure out why
Rebel heart don't be a loner
Rebel heart I'm your lover
Rebel heart I wanna discover
where you from and where you belong
and everything that turns you on
I wanted to dance but she flatly refused
I told her jokes but she was not amused
Tried to kiss her but she wouldn't stand still
Started thinking this was overkill
Next thing I know I was flyin' for cover
it was her steady girlfriend and a live-in lover
Rebel heart why don't you try it
Rebel heart you can't deny it
Rebel heart you may like it
I'll change your mind if you'll give me time
about everything that's on your mind
I stayed awake all last night fantasizing about you baby
You know I'd walk a million miles across broken glass
or a red hot Arabian desert
if I could just have one night in your long brass bed
Evening wound up on a very sad note
I drove her home and then she went for my throat
She said, it's fairly obvious I ain't attracted to you
You bore me to tears honest you do
And by the way I can't stand your British
I said, don't start something, honey, you know you can't finish
Rebel heart I won't forget ya
Rebel heart I'm glad I met ya
Rebel heart give me an answer
where you're from and where you belong
and everything that turns you on
You came, you saw, you conquered me
When you did that to me I knew that it had to be
I'd lift you up with my own arms honey
I can't get enough
I'd walk down Fifth Avenue entirely naked
I promise I won't drink, swear, womanize
I'd go to church every Sunday
for just one night with you
Rebel heart I'm your lover
Rebel heart I wanna discover
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Rebel heart I won't forget ya
Rebel heart I'm glad I met ya
Rebel heart give me an answer
Oh yeah oh yeah
Rebel heart I won't forget ya
Rebel heart give me an answer
Oh yeah oh yeah
I gave trust like an innocent kid
I believed everything you said
A parasite that fed on doubt
yeah it's you that I'm talking about
You rode heavy on my fame
then you scandalized my name
You robbed me blind with a ( )
You lacerated your closest friend
I don't know how you sleep at
night with your conscience
Do they still kiss your feet
and is life as sweet in my absence
I'm ready now, ready now for what I gotta give
I'm ready now, ready now for how I want to live
I don't want no sweet revenge
it'll come and get you in the end
Laugh now while the truth's unknown
cause pretty soon it'll be my turn
One of these days and it won't be long
I will find you
Lock up your gates
you'll need all of your snakes
to defend you
I'm ready now, ready now for what I gotta give
I'm ready now, ready now for how I want to live
I'm bitter now, but wait and see
You ain't heard the last of me
I'll dance on your grave
when they finally put you away
What'd I do to deserve all this evil attention
A thousand years will never buy you redemption
Are you ready now, ready now for what you gotta give
Are you ready now, ready now for how you gotta give
Are you ready
Hoverin' by my suitcase
Tryin' to find a warm place to spend the night
Heavy rain fallin'
Seems I hear your voice callin' it's all right
A rainy night in Georgia
Such a rainy night in Georgia
It seems like it's rainin' all over the world
And I feel like it's rainin' all over the world
Neon signs are flashin'
Taxi cabs and buses passin' through the night
A distant moanin' of a train
Seems to play a sad refrain to the night
A rainy night in Georgia
Such a rainy night in Georgia
Lord, I believe it's rainin' all over this world
I feel like it's rainin' all over the world
How many times I've wondered
It still comes out the same
No matter how you look at it or think of it
It's life and you just gotta play the game, play the game
I find me a place in a box car
So I take my guitar to pass some time
Late at night when it's hard to rest
I hold your picture to my chest and I feel fine
But it's a rainy night in Georgia
Baby, it's a rainy night in Georgia
I feel like it's rainin' all over the world
Kinda lonely now 'cause it's rainin' all over the world
It's rainin', rainin', rainin', rainin'
Rainin' all over the world
I'm cold and I'm lonely and it's rainin'
Rainin' all over the world
It's rainin', rainin', rainin', rainin' all over the world
(rod stewart, ron wood)
Sweatin’ hard, I didn’t get a shower
All I did was stand around and get too hot
Knowin’ all the people walkin’ on my side
Losin’ all my money and I’m killin’ time
Ol’ bill he come a-runnin’ like he’s gettin’ some
Makes you kind of jealous but it sure is fun
I don’t mind but he wants my lady too
You know the crowd gets bigger
As the word goes ’round
Pool hall king was playin’ back in town
Minnesota fats standin’ up at the back
Tryin’ to hide himself in a plastic mack
You ought to hear the silence
When the kid walks in
His reputation’s bigger than gasoline
I don’t mind but he’s tryin’ to fill my lady too, ha ha
Pool hall richard
You’re far too wicked we know, ha
Pool hall richard
Kid you’re wicked, we know
You broke my heart
Same as you ... could ever do
With your yellow carnation
And your pink satin shoe
You make me jealous, but I worship you
One day soon I’m gonna beat you clean
Wipe that smile right off your chin
Everybody gonna drive from miles around
Cuein’ up to see me take away your crown
Then you’ll never never ever take my lady then
Get out
Pool hall richard
You’re far too wicked we know, ha
Pool hall richard
Kid you’re wicked, we know
You broke my heart
Same as you ... could ever do
Dig this
Bam goes the brown, that’s another one down
Know they play much better when the sun goes down
Bang goes the green, you’re so obscene
Your hands are dirty but your scent is clean
Bam goes the blue, lock away your cue
The pool hall king is hustlin’ you
Bam goes the 8-ball, didn’t see it spin at all
This kid can play, oh yeah
Bam goes the brown, ooh another one down
Know they play much better when the sun goes down
Bang goes the green, you’re so obscene
Your hands are dirty, your scent is clean
Damn the pink, one more to sink
Gonna beat you someday
’cause you’re makin’ me sick
Down on the black, at the back of the pack
Aw, you nearly missed, you ain’t so hot
Pool hall richard
Kid you’re wicked, we know
You broke my heart
Same as you ... could ever do
You’re breakin’ my heart
But you’re stealin’ my tart, no no no
Shut up
Poor old Granddad I laughed at all his words
I thought he was a bitter man
He spoke of women's ways
They'll trap you, then they use you before you even know
For love is blind and you're far too kind
Don't ever let it show
I wish that I knew what I know now
When I was younger.
I wish that I knew what I know now
When I was stronger.
The can-can such a pretty show
Will steal your heart away
But backstage back on earth again
The dressing rooms are grey
They come on strong and it ain't too long
For they make you feel a man
But love is blind and you soon will find
You're just a boy again
When you want her lips, you get her cheek
Makes you wonder where you are
If you want some more then she's fast asleep
you're just twinkling with the stars.
Poor young grandson, there's nothing I can say
You'll have to learn, just like me
And that's the hardest way, ooh la la
Ooh la la, la la, yeah
I wish that I knew what I know now
When I was younger.
I wish that I knew what I know now
When I was stronger.
Single file in the girls corridor
Come along, Stewart laddie!
Stewart boy, you'll never be much,
'cause you're too busy acting the fool.
Thank you Sir for them few kind words,
on my last day of school.
Oh, but my mama said, I could be a success,
if I'd only get myself out of bed.
Words of wisdom, but I wasn't list'ning,
I had plans in my head.
Only a boy,
trying it on,
coming on strong,
restless to roam,
only a boy,
silly and proud,
reckless and loud,
impressing the crowd,
only a boy.
Rock'n' Roll was in my brain,
Eddie Cochrane running through my brain.
Skin tight trousers in council houses,
the unemployment exchange.
The blues I played were Mississippi made
and ev'ry Friday night I'd fall in love.
Football fields and teenage pills
nothing's enough.
Only a boy,
dressing to kill,
passion to spill,
hand in the till.
Only a boy,
slipping it in,
thin as a pin,
chasing a dream,
only a boy.
climb down off the school roof laddie
Oh and them dukes of freedom, I used to believe them,
and all their rebelious vows.
The critics, the cynics, who never understood it,
where are they now?
And all the wondering and the stumbling
that goes hand in hand with change.
The yearning, the earning was it all part of learning,
or am I still the same?
Only a boy
laughing aloud,
quick as a shot,
nobody can stop.
Only a boy,
plans of his own,
leaving his home,
knows where he's going,
only a boy.
only a boy,
only a boy,
only a boy, ha ha, oh

Mike reid, troy seals
Call me a fool
Send me away
I’ve got to say
It’s you I adore
Alone and in love
Falling apart
I followed my heart
Straight to your door
Face to face
With all honesty
I would be greatful
If you’d give to me
One night, to lay in your arms
One night, could it be that I was born
To make every dream you never had come true
Oh oh oh oh
One night, just one night with you
Call me baby
Standing this close
The sound of your voice
Leaves me no choice
Am I so worng
To think ( )
’cause baby you’re all
You’re all I’m thinking of
Face to face
With all honesty
I would be greatful
If you’d give to me
One night, to lay in your arms
One night, could it be that I was born
To make every dream you’ve ever had come true
Oh oh oh oh
One night, just one night with you
One night, to lay in your arms
One night, could it be that I was born
One night with you
In all honesty
Just one night
To lay in your arms
Just one, just one night, that’s all I want baby
Oh yeah
(wood, lane)
I don’t care who is watching
Don’t mind what the surfing heads might say
And though I may not be no charlie atlas
Gonna take my shirt off anyway
Now skin and bones sits easy on the high tide
And I’m not one for castles in the sand
I’ve seen a girl I once knew from the east side
I think I spy a bottle in her hand
I think I spy a bottle in her hand
I don’t need to know your birthday
’cause what you tell her I don’t claim to be
There’s a place I know of called the tick tock
Won’t you come and take a walk with me
Won’t you come and take a walk with me
Didn’t take too much hard work to get her
Melted like a chocolate in my arms
If ... had ever seen it better
It never did the scenery no harm
Never did the scenery no harm.
When the blue shirts run out in Argentina
Our hearts will be beating like a drum
And your nerves are so shattered you can't take it
Automatically you reach out for the run
But there really isn't any cause for panic
Ally's army had it all under control
It's not merely speculations
It's not just imagination
To bring the World Cup home is Scotland's goal
Ole ola, Ole ola
We're gonna bring that World Cup back from over there
Ole ola, Ole ola
We're gonna bring that World Cup back from over there
We got Dalglish, Buchan and Macari
We got Archie Gemmill, Johnstone and McQueen
We got Big Joe Jordan waiting at the middle and the best support
This world has ever seen
We got Donachie, Rioch and Don Masson
We got Andy Gray and Asa Hartford too
And with this lethal combination it's a fair estimation
That the World Cup will be ours the end of June
Ole ola, Ole ola
We're gonna bring that World Cup back from over there
Ole ola, Ole ola
We're gonna bring that World Cup back from over there
Oh, Brazil, this time I don't think so
Holland without Cruyff just ain't the same
Germany will, we feel, be a challenge
The Italians can still play the game
But there's really only one team in it
We'll be singing as we'll get off of the plane
We are bound for Buenos Aires, we don't care just what they tell us
Only wish we had Danny McGrain
Ole ola, Ole ola
We're gonna bring that World Cup back from over there
Willie Johnstone, then it goes to Dalglish. Lou Macari supporting. There's on opener, defended by Buchan, there's Kenny Dalglish in there. Oh, what a goal! Oh, yes! That does it!
They'll be singing up there in Aberdeen and Dundee
Glasgow will be reaching fever pitch
Cause with a nation of five million we're gonna really turn the heat on
Cause we invented football anyway
Ole ola, Ole ola
We're gonna bring that World Cup back from over there Yes, we are
Ole ola, Ole ola
We're gonna bring that World Cup back from over there
Ole ola, Ole ola
We're gonna bring that World Cup back from over there All together now:
Ole ola, Ole ola
We're gonna bring that World Cup back from over there. One more
Ole ola, Ole ola
We're gonna bring that World Cup back from over there Yes, we are
Ole ola, Ole ola
We're gonna bring that World Cup back from over there. I know, I know
Ole ola, Ole ola
We're gonna bring that World Cup back from over there
Ole ola, Ole ola
We're gonna bring that World Cup back from over there
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
