Look over yonder
On the buryin' ground
On the buryin' ground
Look over yonder
On the burying ground
Yon' stand ten thousand
Standin' still to let me down, yeah

Your Song
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, ha
But then again, no
Or a man who makes potions in a traveling 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

And you can tell everybody
This is your song
It may be quite simple, but now that it's done
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind
That I put down in the 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

And you can tell everybody
This is the 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 the words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world

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

Safe in the Arms of Love
Wild Choir

My heart's not ready for the rocking chair

I need somebody who really cares

So tired of livin' solitaire

Someday I'm gonna be
Safe in the arms of love

Strip your heart and it starts to snow

Love is a high-wire act I know

Someday I'll find a net below

Someday I'm gonna be
Safe in the arms of love
Safe in the arms of love

I want arms that know how to rock me
Safe in the arms of love
I wanna fall and know that love has caught me
Safe in the arms of love
Safe in the arms of love

Love

I want a heart to be forever mine

Want eyes to see me satisfied

Gonna hang my heartache out to dry

Some day I'm gonna be
Safe in the arms of love
Safe in the arms of love

I want arms that know how to rock me
Safe in the arms of love
I wanna fall and know that love has caught me

Safe in the arms of love
Safe in the arms of love
Safe in the arms of love

Love

Darling Be Home Soon
The Lovin' Spoonful
Come and talk of all the things we did today
Hear and laugh about our funny little ways
While we have a few minutes to breathe
And I know that it's time you must leave

But darling, be home soon
I couldn't bear to wait an extra minute if you dawdled
My darling, be home soon
It's not just these few hours but I've been waiting since I toddled
For the great relief of having you to talk to

And now a quarter of my life is almost past
I think I've come to see myself at last
And I see that the time spent confused
Was the time that I spent without you
And I feel myself in bloom

So darling, be home soon
I couldn't bear to wait an extra minute if you dawdled
My darling, be home soon
It's not just these few hours but I've been waiting since I toddled
For the great relief of having you to talk to

So darling, my darling, be home soon
I couldn't bear to wait an extra minute if you dawdled
My darling, be home soon
It's not just these few hours but I've been waiting since I toddled
For the great relief of having you to talk to

Go and beat your crazy head against the sky
Try and see beyond the houses and your eyes
It's okay to shoot the moon

Darling, be home soon
I couldn't bear to wait an extra minute if you dawdled
My darling, be home soon
It's not just these few hours but I've been waiting since I toddled
For the great relief of having you to talk to

Trucker Speed
Fred Eaglesmith
I got her letter in an old mail box
I forgot I had at a little truck stop
And I read it once, and then I read it again
I could hardly keep from cryin'

I've been drivin' around the last week or so
With an empty truck, I don't have a load
And I don't care 'cause to tell you the truth
I think I might be dying

And it's trucker speed, benzedrine
Percocets, amphetamines
Black beauties and West Coast turnarounds
When the coast is clear, I drive with my knees
I mix it all up like a recipe
Coca-cola and coffee to wash it down
Sometimes I feel like my wheels ain't touchin' the ground

At the side of the road, he said you're a mess
When I told him she didn't leave an address
Then he got another call said wait right here
I'll be back in a little while

I put my head across my arms
Slept on the wheel for an hour or more
And I started it up and took off into the night

And it's trucker speed, benzedrine
Percocets, amphetamines
Black beauties and West Coast turnarounds
When the coast is clear, I drive with my knees
I mix it all up like a recipe
Coca-cola and coffee to wash it down
Sometimes I feel like my wheels ain't touchin' the ground

I've been high-centered, low throttle
When I couldn't stop, I peed in a bottle
I've been so lonesome I made Hank Williams
Look like a party of five

I've been beat up, broke down
Loaded on a truck and driven into town
I always thought she'd be there at the end of the line
I always thought she'd be there at the end of the line

And it's trucker speed, benzedrine
Percocets, amphetamines
Black beauties and West Coast turnarounds
When the coast is clear, I drive with my knees
I mix it all up in a recipe
Coca-cola and coffee to wash it down
Sometimes I feel like my wheels ain't touchin' the ground

Sometimes I feel like my wheels ain't touchin' the ground
Sometimes I feel like my wheels ain't touchin' the ground

Only the Lonely
Roy Orbison
Only the lonely
Only the lonely

Only the lonely
Know the way I feel tonight
Only the lonely
Know this feeling ain't right

There goes my baby
There goes my heart
They're gone forever
So far apart

But only the lonely
Know why
I cry
Only the lonely

Only the lonely
Only the lonely

Only the lonely
Know the heartaches I've been through
Only the lonely
Know I cry and cry for you

Maybe tomorrow
A new romance
No more sorrow
But that's the chance
You gotta take

If your lonely heart breaks
Only the lonely

Getting to Know You
Rodgers & Hammerstein
ANNA

(Spoken) It's a very ancient saying,
But a true and honest thought,
That if you become a teacher,
By your pupils you'll be taught.

(Singing) As a teacher I've been learning --
You'll forgive me if I boast --
And I've now become an expert,
On the subject I like most.

(Spoken) Getting to know you.

(Singing) Getting to know you,
Getting to know all about you.
Getting to like you,
Getting to hope you like me.

Getting to know you,
Putting it my way,
But nicely,
You are precisely,
My cup of tea.

Getting to know you,
Getting to feel free and easy
When I am with you,
Getting to know what to say

Haven't you noticed
Suddenly I'm bright and breezy?
Because of all the beautiful and new
Things I'm learning about you
Day by day.

Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is
Chicago
As I was walkin' down the street one day
A man came up to me and asked me
What the time was that was on my watch? Yeah
I said

(I don't) does anybody really know what time it is?
(Care about time) does anybody really care?
If so, I can't imagine why
(Oh no, no) we've all got time enough to cry

And I was walking down the street one day
A pretty lady looked at me
And said her diamond watch had stopped cold dead
And I said

(I don't) does anybody really know what time it is?
(Care about time) does anybody really care?
If so, I can't imagine why
(Oh no, no) we've all got time enough to cry

And I was walking down the street one day (people runnin' everywhere)
Being pushed and shoved (don't know where to go)
By people trying to beat the clock (I don't know where I am)
Although, I just don't know (I can't see past the next step)
I don't know, I don't know (don't have time to see past the last snow)
And I said (you have no time to look around, they just run around and run around)
Yes, I said (and see what?)

(I don't) does anybody really know what time it is?
(Care about time) does anybody really care?
If so, I can't imagine why
(Oh no, no) we've all got time enough to die

Everybody's worryin' (I don't care)
I don't care
(About time) about time
(Oh no, no) I don't care

By A Fire Of Gidgee Coal
Slim Dusty
By a warm electric heater and a softly padded chair
In a lounge room brightly lighted by a glowing chandelier
Since my early days of drovin' the years have taken toll
But I somehow miss my swag wrap by a fire of Gidgee coal

When I wake from sleep each morning and I ring the bedside bell
The maid brings in my breakfast and she fills my pipe as well
There are cakes and sweetened coffee on a tray of sparkling gold
But I miss black tea and damper by a fire of Gidgee coal

I am driven' out each evening by a chauffeur spruce and neat
Through the flowered parks and gardens and the crowded city streets
But I drift back through the ages while the big CAR softly rolls
To a stock route and a wagonette and a fire of Gidgee coal

I attend all social parties in the rich parts of the town
Drinking wine from fancy glasses as the waiters go their rounds
But I'd rather share a bottle with those drovin' mates of old
In a pair of dusty moleskins by a fire of Gidgee coal
In a pair of dusty moleskins by a fire of Gidgee coal

Tell Laura I Love Her
Ricky Valance
Laura and Tommy were lovers
He wanted to give her everything
Flowers, presents and most of all, a wedding ring

He saw a sign for a stock car race
A thousand dollar prize it read
He couldn't get Laura on the phone
So to her mother Tommy said

Tell Laura I love her, tell Laura I need her
Tell Laura I may be late
I've something to do that cannot wait

He drove his car to the racing grounds
He was the youngest driver there
The crowd roared as they started the race
'Round the TRACK they drove at a deadly pace

No one knows what happened that day
How his car overturned in flames
But as they pulled him from the twisted wreck
With his dying breath, they heard him say

Tell Laura I love her, tell Laura I need her
Tell Laura not to cry
My love for her will never die

And in the chapel where Laura prays
For her Tommy who passed away
It was just for Laura he lived and died
Alone in the chapel she can hear him cry

Tell Laura I love her, tell Laura I need her
Tell Laura not to cry
My love for her will never die
Tell Laura I love her, tell Laura I need her

Burn for You
John Farnham
Got myself into some trouble tonight
Guess I'm just feelin' blue
It's been so long
Since I've seen your face
This distance between me and you

That voice you showed me is not the one that I know
I must be strung out, on what I do
Don't hang up again
There's nothing else I know how to do

But I burn for you
What am I gonna do?
Burn for you

I guess it feels like you're always alone
And I feel that way too
It's so hard to explain to you
Please understand what I do

I burn for you
What am I gonna do?
I burn for you
Burn for you

Took my trouble to a bar tonight
For another point of view
But there's nothing new
I'm missing you

I burn for you
What am I gonna do?
Burn for you
Burn for you

I burn for you
What am I gonna do?
I burn for you

Burn for you
What am I gonna do?
I burn for you
Burn for you

You

Steal My Kisses"

I pulled into Nashville, Tennessee, but you wouldn't even come around to see me
And since your headin' up to Carolina, You know I'm gonna be right there behind
you

'Cause I always have to steal my kisses from you
Always have to steal my kisses from you

Now I love to feel that warm southern rain, just to hear it fall is the
sweetest sounding thing
And to see it fall on your simple country dress it's like heaven to me I must
confess

'Cause I always have to steal my kisses from you
Always have to steal my kisses from you

Now I've been hangin around you for days, but when I lean in you just turn your
head away
Oh no, you didn't mean that
She said I love the way you think, but I hate the way you act

'Cause I always have to steal my kisses from you
Always have to steal my kisses from you

Rhythm of the Rain
The Cascades
Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain
Telling me just what a fool I've been
I wish that it would go and let me cry in vain
And let me be alone again

The only girl I care about has gone away
Looking for a brand-new start
But little does she know that when she left that day
Along with her, she took my heart

Rain, please tell me now, does that seem fair
For her to steal my heart away when she don't care?
I can't love another when my heart's somewhere far away

The only girl I care about has gone away
Looking for a brand-new start
But little does she know that when she left that day
Along with her, she took my heart

Rain, won't you tell her that I love her so?
Please ask the sun to set her heart aglow
Rain in her heart and let the love we knew start to grow

Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain
Telling me just what a fool I've been
I wish that it would go and let me cry in vain
And let me be alone again

Oh, listen to the falling rain

Now it's out of my hands
Stand on my head and say
Oh, I was just a boy

Try a Little Tenderness
Otis Redding
Oh, she may be weary
And young girls they do get wearied
Wearing that same old shaggy dress, yeah, yeah
But when she gets weary
Try a little tenderness, yeah, yeah

You know she's waiting
Just anticipating
For things that she'll never, never, never, never possess, yeah, yeah
But while she's there waiting, without them
Try a little tenderness
That's all you gotta do

It's not just sentimental, no, no, no
She has her grief and care, yeah, yeah-yeah
But the soft words, they are spoke so gentle, yeah
It makes it easier, easier to bear, yeah

You won't regret it, no, no
Some girls they don't forget it
Love is their own happiness, yeah
But it's all so easy
All you gotta do is try
Try a little tenderness, yeah
All you gotta do is, man
Hold her where you want her

Squeeze her
Don't tease her
Never leave her

Even In The Quietest Moments
Supertramp
Even in the quietest moments
I wish I knew what I had to do
And even though the sun is shining
Well, I feel the rain, here it comes again, dear

And even when you showed me
My heart was out of tune
For there's a shadow of doubt
That's not letting me find you too soon

The music that you gave me
The language of my soul
Lord, I want to be with you
Won't you let me come in from the cold?

Don't you let the sun fade away
Don't you let the sun fade away
Don't you let the sun be leaving
Won't you come to me soon?

And even though the stars are listening
And the ocean's deep, I just go to sleep
And then I create the silent movie
You become the star. Is that what you are, dear?

Your whisper tells a secret
Your laughter brings me joy
And a wonder of feeling
I'm nature's own little boy

But still the tears keep falling
They're raining from the sky
Well, there's a lot of me, got to go under
Before I get high

Don't you let the sun disappear
Don't you let the sun disappear
Don't you let the sun be leaving
No, you can't be leaving my life

Say that you won't be leaving my life
Say that you won't be leaving my life
Say won't you please, stay won't you please?
Say won't you please, stay won't you please?

Lord, won't you come and get into my life
Lord, won't you come and get into my life
Say won't you please, stay won't you please
Say won't you please, stay won't you please
Lord, don't go

And even when the song is over
Where have I been, was it just a dream?
And though your door is always open
Where do I begin, may I please come in, dear?

The Long Black Veil
Johnny Cash
Ten years ago on a cold dark night
Someone was killed 'neath the town hall lights
There were few at the scene, but they all agreed
That the slayer who ran looked a lot like me

Now,she walks these hills, in a long black veil
She visits my grave, when the night winds wail
Nobody knows, nobody sees
Nobody knows, but me

The scaffold was high, and eternity's near
She stood in the crowd, and shed not a tear
But sometimes at night, when the cold wind moans
In a long black veil, she cries over my bones

She walks these hills, in a long black veil
She visits my grave, when the night winds wail
Nobody knows, nobody sees
Nobody knows, but me

The Judge said son, what is your alibi
If you were somewhere else, then you won't have to die
I spoke not a word, though it meant my life
I'd been in the arms of my best friend's wife

She walks these hills, in a long black veil
She visits my grave, when the night winds wail

If You Leave Me Can I Come Too?
Mental As Anything
Words were exchanged last night
You could call it a fight
It's such a shame, I never thought we would
Wouldn't be so bad, if it weren't so good
I've had enough of that
With other loves in days gone by
It wasn't much I know
Mmm just enough, enough to make me cry

If you leave me, can I come too?
We can always stay
But if you leave me, can I come too?
And if you go, can I come too?

Don't let it happen again
'Cause that I couldn't take
Ooh once was quite enough
It's easy to forgive, harder to forget

If you leave me, can I come too?
We can always stay
But if you leave me, can I come too?
And if you go, can I come too?

I've had enough of that

Yay, yay, yay-ay, yay-ay
Can I come too?

The Mountain
Steve Earle
I was born on this mountain
A long time ago
Before they knocked down the timber
And strip-mined the coal
When you rose in the mornin'
Before it was light
To go down in that dark hole
And come back up at night

I was born on this mountain
This mountain's my home
She holds me and keeps me
From worry and woe
Well, they took everything that she gave
Now they're gone
But I'll die on this mountain
This mountain's my home

I was young on this mountain
But now I am old
And I knew every holler
Every cool swimmin' hole
'Til one night I lay down
And woke up to find
That my childhood was over
And I went down in the mine

I was born on this mountain
This mountain's my home
She holds me and keeps me
From worry and woe
Well, they took everything that she gave
Now they're gone
But I'll die on this mountain
This mountain's my home

There's a hole in this mountain
It's dark and it's deep
And God only knows
All the secrets it keeps
There's a chill in the air
Only miners can feel
There're ghosts in the tunnels
That the company sealed

I was born on this mountain
This mountain's my home
She holds me and keeps me
From worry and woe
Well, they took everything that she gave
Now they're gone
But I'll die on this mountain
This mountain's my home

Gimme Three Steps
Lynyrd Skynyrd
I was cuttin' the rug down at a place called The Jug
With a girl named Linda Lou
When in walked a man with a gun in his hand
And he was looking for you know who
He said, "Hey there fellow with the hair colored yellow
What you trying to prove?
'Cause that's my woman there and I'm a man who cares
And this might be all for you"
I said, "Excuse me"

I was scared and fearing for my life
I was shaking like a leaf on a tree
'Cause he was lean, and mean, and
Big and bad, Lord, a-pointing that gun at me
"Oh wait a minute, mister, I didn't even kiss her
Don't want no trouble with you
And I know you don't owe me, but I wish you would let me
Ask one favor from you"

"Oh, won't you give me three steps, gimme three steps, mister
Gimme three steps towards the door?
Gimme three steps, gimme three steps, mister
And you'll never see me no more
For sure"

Well, the crowd cleared away and I began to pray
And the water fell on the floor
And I'm telling you, son, well, it ain't no fun
Staring straight down a forty-four
Well, he turned and there screamed at Linda Lou
And that's the break I was looking for
And you could hear me screaming a mile away
As I was headed out towards the door

"Oh, won't you give me three steps, gimme three steps, mister
Gimme three steps towards the door?
Gimme three steps, gimme three steps, mister
And you'll never see me no more
Show me the back door"

Two of Us
The Beatles
"I Dig a Pygmy" by Charles Hawtrey and the Deaf Aids
Phase one, in which Doris gets her oats

Two of us riding nowhere
Spending someone's hard-earned pay
You and me Sunday driving
Not arriving on our way back home

We're on our way home
We're on our way home
We're going home

Two of us sending postcards
Writing letters on my wall
You and me burning matches
Lifting latches on our way back home

We're on our way home
We're on our way home
We're going home

You and I have memories
Longer than the road that stretches out ahead

Two of us wearing raincoats
Standing solo in the sun
You and me chasing paper
Getting nowhere on our way back home

We're on our way home
We're on our way home
We're going home

You and I have memories
Longer than the road that stretches out ahead

Two of us wearing raincoats
Standing solo in the sun
You and me chasing paper
Getting nowhere on our way back home

We're on our way home
We're on our way home
We're going home

We're going home

Better believe it
Goodbye

Jailbreak
Thin Lizzy

Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak
Somewhere in this town
See me and the boys we don't like it
So we're getting up and going down

Hiding low, looking right to left
If you see us coming I think it's best
We'll move away, do you hear what I say?
From under my breath

Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak
Somewhere in the town
Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak
So don't you be around

Don't you be around

Tonight there's gonna be trouble
Some of us won't survive
See the boys and me mean business
Bustin' out dead or alive

I can hear the hound dogs on my trail
All hell breaks loose, alarm and sirens wail
Like the game if you lose
Go to jail

Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak
Somewhere in the town
Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak
So don't you be around

Tonight there's gonna trouble
I'm gonna find myself in
Tonight there's gonna be trouble
So woman stay with a friend

You know it's safer

Breakout!

Tonight there's gonna be a breakout
Into the city zones
Don't you dare to try and stop us
No one could for long

Searchlight on my trail
Tonight's the night all systems fail
Hey you good lookin' female
Come here!

Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak
Somewhere in the town
Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak
So don't you be around

Tonight there's gonna be trouble
I'm gonna find myself in
Tonight there's gonna be trouble
So woman stay with a friend

I've Never Been To Me
Charlene
Hey lady, you lady
Cursing at your life
You're a discontented mother
And a regimented wife
I 've no doubt
You dream about the things you'll never do
But I wish someone had a talk to me like I wanna talk to you

Ooh, I've been to Georgia and California and anywhere I could run
Took the hand of a preacher man
And we made love in the sun
But I ran out of places and friendly faces
Because I had to be free

I've been to paradise but I've never been to me...

Please lady please lady
Don't just walk away
'Cause I have this need to tell you
Why I'm all alone today
I can see so much of me
Still living in your eyes

Won't you share a part
Of a weary heart that has lived a million lives

Ooh, I've been to Nice and the Isle of Greece
When I sipped champagne on a yacht
I moved like Harlow in Monte Carlo
And showed them what I've got

I've been undressed by kings
And I've seen some things that a woman ain't s'posed to see
I've been to paradise but I've never been to me...

Hey, you know what paradise is?
It's a lie
A fantasy we created about people and places
As we like them to be
But you know what truth is?

It's that little baby you're holding
and it's that man you fought with this morning
The same one you are gonna make love to tonight
That's truth that's love

Sometimes I've been to crying for unborn children
That might have made me complete
But I, I took the sweet life
I never knew I'd be bitter from the sweet

I spent my life exploring
The subtle whoring
That costs too much to be free
Hey lady I've been to paradise
But I've never been to me...

I've been to paradise - never been to me
(I've been to Georgia and California, and anywhere I could run)
I've been to paradise - never been to me
(I've been to Nice and the isle of Greece
While I sipped champagne on a yacht)
I've been to paradise - never been to me

Never Gonna Give You Up
Rick Astley
We're no strangers to love

A full commitment's what I'm thinkin' of
You wouldn't get this from any other guy

I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling
Gotta make you understand

Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry, never gonna say goodbye

Your heart's been aching, but you're too shy to say it
Inside, we both know what's been going on
We know the game and we're gonna play it

And if you ask me how I'm feeling
Don't tell me you're too blind to see

Never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down

Never gonna run around and desert you

(Ooh) never gonna give, never gonna give (give you up)

We've known each other for so long
Your heart's been aching, but you're too shy to say it
Inside, we both know what's been going on
We know the game and we're gonna play it

I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling
Gotta make you understand

Never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry, never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you

Never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry, never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you

Never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry, never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you

Meet Me In The Middle Of The Air
Paul Kelly
I am your True Shepherd
I will lead you there
Beside still waters
Come and meet me in the middle of the air
I will meet you in the middle of the air

I will lay you down
In pastures green and fair
Every soul shall be restored
I will meet them in the middle of the air
Come and meet me in the middle of the air

Through the lonesome valley
My rod and staff you'll bear
Fear not death's dark shadow
I will meet you in the middle of the air
Come and meet me in the middle of the air (ooh)

With oil, I shall anoint you
A table shall I prepare (ooh)
Your cup will runneth over
Come and meet me in the middle of the air
I will meet you in the middle of the air

In my house you'll dwell forever
You shall not want for care
Surely goodness and mercy will follow you
Come and meet me in the middle of the air
I will meet you in the middle of the air
Come and meet me in the middle of the air

Carry That Weight"

Boy, you're gonna carry that weight,
Carry that weight a long time
Boy, you're gonna carry that weight
Carry that weight a long time

I never give you my pillow
I only send you my invitations
And in the middle of the celebrations
I break down

Boy, you're gonna carry that weight
Carry that weight a long time
Boy, you're gonna carry that weight
Carry that weight a long time

Play Me
Neil Diamond
She was morning, and I was night time
I one day woke up
To find her lying beside my bed
I softly said, "Come take me"

For I've been lonely in need of someone
As though I've done someone wrong somewhere
But I don't know where
I don't know where, come lately

You are the sun, I am the moon
You are the words, I am the tune
Play me

Songs you sang to me
Songs you brang to me
Words that rang in me
Rhyme that sprang from me
Warmed the night, and what was right
Became me

You are the sun, I am the moon
You are the words, I am the tune
Play me

And so it was that I came to travel
Upon a road that was thorned and narrow
Another place, another grace
Would save me

You are the sun, I am the moon
You are the words, I am the tune
Play me

You are the sun, I am the moon
You are the words, I am the tune
Play me

Helping Hand
The Screaming Jets
Sometimes, things get a little hazy
Sometimes, I think I'm just a little crazy
I don't even know my own name
Soon all of me will go on up in flames again

Wearing scars on my arms and in my eyes
Are you friends or enemies in disguise?
So hard, when everything just runs against me
Jealous words, go! (Turn into a love, hate frenzy)

Won't someone please understand?
Won't someone lend me a helping hand?

Time is up, to do the time that's left undone
It's time to grab my hat, grab my coat, I better load my gun
Silly things always are the ones that turn out worst
And it seems, go! (The ones who love you always hurt you the most)

Won't someone please understand?
Won't someone lend me a helping hand?
Won't someone please take the time to think?
Your actions and words
They don't always say what they mean
No, they don't always

Rock on!
Whoa, yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah

Since I was a child, I used to dream of many things
Superstars, the bizarre kings and their pretty queens
Now it seems that I need a shot, a drink to jog my thoughts
Why does it happen all the time?
Is it, is it just because

Because no one will understand?
No, no, no, someone lend me a helping hand
Whoa-yeah, won't someone please take the time to think?
Your actions and words
They don't always say what they mean

They don't always say
Why won't (somebody say what they mean)
Whoa, yeah
Say what they

Long As I Can See the Light
Creedence Clearwater Revival
Put a candle in the window

'Cause I feel I've got to move

Though I'm going, going
I'll be coming home soon
Long as I can see the light

Pack my bag and let's get moving
'Cause I'm bound to drift a while

Though I'm gone, gone
You don't have to worry, no
Long as I can see the light

Guess I've got that old traveling bone

'Cause this feeling won't leave me alone

But I won't, won't

Be losing my way, no, no
Long as I can see the light

Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Oh, yeah

Put a candle in the window

'Cause I feel I've got to move
Though I'm going, going
I'll be coming home soon
Long as I can see the light

Long as I can see the light

Long as I can see the light

Long as I can see the light

You Never Can Tell
Chuck Berry
It was a teenage wedding and the old folks wished them well
You could see that Pierre did truly love the Mademoiselle
And now the young Monsieur and Madame have rung the chapel bell
"C'est la vie" say the old folks
It goes to show you never can tell

They furnished off an apartment with a two room roebuck sale
The coolerator was crammed with TV dinners and ginger ale
But when Pierre found work, the little money comin' worked out well
"C'est la vie" say the old folks
It goes to show you never can tell

They had a hi-fi phono boy did they let it blast?
Seven hundred little records all rock, rhythm, and jazz
But when the sun went down the rapid tempo of the music fell
"C'est la vie" say the old folks
It goes to show you never can tell

They bought a souped-up jitney was a cherry red '53
And drove it down New Orleans to celebrate their anniversary
It was there where Pierre was wedded to the lovely Mademoiselle
"C'est la vie" say the old folks
It goes to show you never can tell

They had a teenage wedding and the old folks wished them well
You could see that Pierre did truly love the Mademoiselle
And now the young Monsieur and Madame have rung the chapel bell
"C'est la vie" say the old folks
It goes to show you never can tell

Wild Night
Van Morrison
As you brush your shoes
Stand before the mirror
And you comb your hair
Grab your coat and hat

And you walk wet streets
Tryin' to remember
All the wild night breezes
In your memory ever

And everything looks so complete
When you're walkin' out on the street
And the wind catches your feet
Sends you flyin', cryin'

Ooh, woo-wee
Wild night is calling, alright
Ooh, woo-wee
Wild night is calling

All the girls walk by
Dressed up for each other
And the boys do the boogie-woogie
On the corner of the street

And the people passing' by
Stare in wild wonder
And the inside jukebox roars out
Just like thunder

And everything looks so complete
When you walk out on the street
And the wind catches your feet
And sends you flying', crying'

Ooh, woo-wee
Wild night is calling, alright
Ooh, woo-wee
That wild night is calling, alright

Well, that wild night is calling
The wild night is calling
Come on out and dance
Woah, come on out and make romance
Yes, indeed
Come on out and dance
Come on out, make romance

The wild night is calling, alright
The wild night is calling
Come on out and dance
Yeah, come on out and make romance
Come on out and dance, alright
Come on out and make romance

Farewell
Bob Dylan
All I'm say, oh, it's fare thee well. my darlin' true
I'm leavin' in the first hour of the morn
I'm bound off for the bay of Mexico
Or maybe the coast of Californ

So it's fare thee well, my own true love
We'll meet another day, another time
It ain't the leavin' that's a-grievin' me
But my true love who's bound to stay behind

Oh, the weather is against me and the wind blows hard
And the rain, she's a-turnin' into hail
I still might strike it lucky on a highway goin' west
Though I'm travelin' on a path beaten trail

So it's fare thee well, my own true love
We'll meet another day, another time
It ain't the leavin' that's a-grievin' me
But my darling who's bound to stay behind

I will write you a letters, from time to time
As I'm ramblin', you can travel with me too
With my head, my heart and my hands, my love
I will send what I learn back home to you

So it's fare thee well, my own true love
We'll meet another day, another time
It ain't the leavin' that's a-grievin' me
But my true love who's bound to stay behind

I will tell you of the laughter and of troubles
Be them somebody else's or my own
With my hands in my pockets and my coat collar high
I will travel unnoticed and unknown

So it's fare thee well, my own true love
We'll meet another day, another time
It ain't the leavin' that's a-grievin' me
But my true love who's bound to stay behind

I've heard tell of a town where I might as well be bound
It's down around the old Mexican plains
They say that the people are all friendly there
And all they ask of you is your name

So it's fare thee well, my own true love
We'll meet another day, another time
It ain't the leavin' that's a-grievin' me
But my true love who's bound to stay behind

You Can Call Me Al
Paul Simon
A man walks down the street
He says, "Why am I soft in the middle now?
Why am I soft in the middle?
The rest of my life is so hard
I need a photo-opportunity
I want a shot at redemption
Don't want to end up a cartoon
In a cartoon graveyard"

Bonedigger, Bonedigger
Dogs in the moonlight
Far away, my well-lit door
Mr. Beerbelly, Beerbelly
Get these mutts away from me
You know, I don't find this stuff amusing anymore

If you'll be my bodyguard
I can be your long lost pal
I can call you Betty
And Betty, when you call me
You can call me Al

A man walks down the street
He says, "Why am I short of attention?
Got a short little span of attention
And whoa, my nights are so long
Where's my wife and family?
What if I die here?
Who'll be my role model?
Now that my role model is gone, gone"

He ducked back down the alley
With some roly-poly, little bat-faced girl
All along, along
There were incidents and accidents
There were hints and allegations

If you'll be my bodyguard
I can be your long lost pal
I can call you Betty
And Betty, when you call me
You can call me Al
Call me Al

A man walks down the street
It's a street in a strange world
Maybe it's the Third World
Maybe it's his first time around
He doesn't speak the language
He holds no currency
He is a foreign man

He is surrounded by the sound, sound
Cattle in the marketplace
Scatterings and orphanages
He looks around, around
He sees angels in the architecture
Spinning in infinity
He says, "Amen and Hallelujah!"

If you'll be my bodyguard
I can be your long lost pal
I can call you Betty
And Betty, when you call me
You can call me Al
Call me

If you'll be my bodyguard
I can call you Betty
If you'll be my bodyguard
I can call you Betty
If you'll be my bodyguard
