Turning Away
Composer(s): Tim Krekel
First release: Crystal Gayle - 1984



None of your friends come near you
They've given up trying to steer you
Because your turning away
Turning away from love

Lately you look so ragged
The edge of your heart's become jagged
And you're turning away
Turning away from love

I say you're turning away, turning away from love
I say you're turning away, turning away from love
Well she gives it to you without asking
A piece of her heart ever lasting
But you're turning away
Turning away from love

Just when this old world needs all of the love it can get
You're turning away
Turning away from the one who really cares
You're turning away from love

I say you're turning away, turning away from love
I say you're turning away, turning away from love

Just when this old world needs all of the love it can get
You're turning away
Turning away from the one who really cares
You're turning away from love

I say you're turning away, turning away from love
I say you're turning away, turning away from love
Well she gives it to you without asking
A piece of her heart ever lasting
But you're turning away
Turning away from love

I say you're turning away, turning away from love
I say you're turning away, turning away from love
I say you're turning away, turning away from love
I say you're turning away, turning away from love
No, no, no turning away, turning away from love
I say you're turning away, turning away from love...

I Wish I Were A Princess
Composer(s): Luigi Creatore; Hugo Peretti; George David Weiss
Performer(s): Little Peggy March; Sara Hickman



I wish I were a princess
I wish I were a princess
I wish I were a princess
and you were my prince

I wish I were a princess
so beautiful to see
I'd pass the greatest law in history
A lovely little law
that I hope you'll never break
and it would make you fall in love with me

And if I were a princess
the next thing I would do
is plan a celebration in the land
Oh, what a happy day
when the people hear you say,
"My princess, I'm asking for your hand!"

I wish I were a princess
I wish I were a princess
I'd have you sit beside me
so handsome, so bold
I wish I were a princess
and you were my prince
Oh, we'd live happily ever after
as in days of old

I wish I were a princess
I wish I were a princess
I'd have you sit beside me
so handsome, so bold
I wish I were a princess
and you were my prince
Oh, we'd live happily ever after
as in days of old!

I wish I were a princess
I wish I were a princess
I wish I were a princess
I wish I were a princess

Yes, I wish...

Know By Now
Composer(s): Robert Palmer
Performer(s): Robert Palmer



You ought to know by now 

Baby when our hearts awoke
Think of all the rules we broke
In the name of love we hoped
Little did we know

Darling all the time we spent
Ignoring all the consequences 
And hiding from big evidence
Hoping things would change

But the yearning grew like the loneliness of a castaway
To be near to you was the only thing in my heart each day
Keeping me alive till your rescue came

Honey you mean everything to me
You ought to know by now
Love means everything
You ought to know by now
Only love can bring happiness

Wishful thinking spent in vain
What to loose and what to gain
All the guilt and all the pain seemed to come away 
And baby when our hearts awoke 
Think of all the rules we broke
In the name of love we spoke 
Little did we know
But the hope was there 
like a ray of sun on a cloudy day
Any change from impossibility to the only way
Love can conquer all
And its here to stay

Honey you mean everything to me
You ought to know by now
Love means everything
You ought to know by now
Only love can bring happiness
You ought to know by now 
Love means everything
You ought to know by now
Only love can bring happiness

You ought to know by now
You ought to know by now
You ought to know by now
You ought to know by now

I Wish I Was In Glasgow
Composer(s): Billy Connolly
Performer(s): Iain MacKintosh



Oh I wish I was in Glasgow
With some good old friends of mine
Some good old rough companions
And some good old smooth red wine
We could talk about the old days
And the old town's sad decline
And drink to the boys on the road

Oh I was born in Glasgow
Near the center of the town
I would take you there and show you
But they've torn the building down
And when I think about it
It always makes me frown
They bulldozed it all to make a road

And that great old place I miss so much
Has seen much better days
And still we talk about it
As we go our separate ways
Oh but Glasgow gave me more
Than it ever took away
And prepared me for life on the road

And that great old place I miss so much
Has seen much better days
And still we talk about it
As we go our separate ways
Oh but Glasgow gave me more
Than it ever took away
And prepared me for life on the road

My granny was a cleaner
My grandad drove a tram
My father an engineer
Made me all I am
They have seen the city come and go
Still they give a damn
There's so much to learn along the road

And Glasgow gave me more
Than it ever took away
And prepared me for life on the road

Know One Knows
Composer(s): Pete Ham
Performer(s): Pete Ham; Badfinger



No one knows it
No one knows it
No one knows it, no
No one knows how good I feel
When I see you glow

No one knows it
No one knows it
No one knows it, no
No one knows how good I feel
When you let it show

Keep it coming, keep it long
Caress me with your body song
Reach it higher with each sigh
Knowing soon that we will fly

No one knows it
No one knows it
No one knows it, no
No one knows how good I feel
When I see you glow

No one knows it
No one knows it
No one knows it, no
No one knows how good I feel
When you let it flow

Keep it moving, keep it bright
And guide me with your body light
Come in closer with each sigh
Knowing soon that we will fly

[Mika's Japanese cooing over guitar solo (Pete Ham):
No one knows
No one knows
No one knows
No one knows how good I feel
When you let it show

No one knows
No one knows how good I feel
When you let it flow]

Keep on feeling, keep it whole
And lead me with your body soul
Take me higher with each sigh
Knowing you can make me fly

No one knows it
No one knows it
No one knows it, no
No one knows how good I feel
When I see you glow

Turn Your Love Around
Composer(s): Bill Champlin - Jay Graydon - Steve Lukather
Performer(s): George Benson



You've got the love 
You've got the power 
But you just don't understand 
Girl, you've been charging by the hour 
For your love 

I'm trying to show how much I love you 
Still believe in romance 
You're taking way too many chances 
With my love 

I remember 
When you used to be 
The talk of the town 
All you get is lonely 

Turn your love around 
Don't you turn me down 
I can show you how 
Turn your love around 

Without the woman I can make it 
But I need the girl to stay 
Oh, don't you let the lady take it 
Away 
When all I need's a taste of yesterday 
But you stay at home 
All they get is lonely 

Turn your love around 
Don't you turn me down 
I can show you how 
Turn your love around 

Oh girl you know me 
I'm alone until you show me 
That you're still in love with me 
We're gonna make it 
We're gonna take it 
Back where we belong 

Turn your love around 
Don't you turn me down 
I can show you how 
Turn your love around 

Turn your love around 
This time the girl became a woman 
Don't you turn me down 
Every woman needs a man 
I can show you how 
I love the girl, I love the woman 
Turn your love around 

Turn your love around 
This time the girl became a woman 
Don't you turn me down 
Every woman needs a man 
I can show you how 
I love the girl, I love the woman 
Turn your love around 

Turn your love around 
This time the girl became a woman 
Don't you turn me down 
Every woman needs a man 
I can show you how...

I Wish I Was Eighteen Again
Composer(s): Sonny Throckmorton
Performer(s): Jerry Lee Lewis
and multiple other artists



At a bar down in Dallas an old man chimed in
And I thought he was out of his his head
Just being a young man, I just laughed it off
When I heard what that old man had said

He said I'll never again turn the young ladies heads
Or go running off into the wind
I'm three quarters home from the start to the end
And I wish I was eighteen again

I wish I was eighteen again
And going where I've never been
But old folks and old oaks
Standing tall just pretend
I wish I was eighteen again

Now time turns the pages and oh, life goes so fast
The years turn the black hair all grey
I talked to some young folks, hey they don't understand
The words this old man's got to say

I wish I was eighteen again
And going where I've never been
But old folks and old oaks
Standing tall just pretend
I wish I was eighteen again

Lord, I wish I was eighteen again!

Turn To Stone
Composer(s): Jeff Lynne
First release: Electric Light Orchestra - 1977



The city streets are empty now (the lights don't shine no more)
and so the songs are way down low (turning, turning, turning)
A sound that flows into my mind (the echoes of the daylight)
of everything that is alive (in my blue world)
I turn to stone when you are gone, I turn to stone
Turn to stone when you comin' home, I can't go on
The dying embers of the night (a fire that slowly fades till dawn)
still glow upon the wall so bright (burning burning burning)
The tired streets that hide away (from here to everywhere they go)
roll past my door into the day (in my blue world)
I turn to stone when you are gone, I turn to stone
Turn to stone when you comin' home, I can't go on
Turn to stone when you are gone, I turn to stone
Yes, I'm turnin' to stone 'cos you ain't comin' home
Why you ain't comin' home if I'm turnin' to stone?
You've been gone for so long and I can't carry on
yes, I'm turnin', I'm turnin', I'm turnin' to stone
The dancing shadows on the wall (the two-step in the hall)
are all I see since you've been gone (turning turning turning)
Through all I sit here and I wait (I turn to stone I turn to stone)
You will return again some day (to my blue world)
I turn to stone when you are gone, I turn to stone
Turn to stone when you comin' home, I can't go on
Turn to stone when you are gone, I turn to stone.
I turn to stone when you are gone, I turn to stone
Turn to stone when you comin' home, I can't go on
Turn to stone when you are gone, I turn to stone

I Wish I Was A Lesbian (aka IWIWAL)
Composer(s): Loudon Wainwright III
Performer(s): Loudon Wainwright III



I wish I was a lesbian, and not a hetero
I wouldn't have to deal with men and all their come and go
And all their yucky yucky facial hair and all their machis'mo!
I wish I were a lesbian and not a hetero!

I wish I was a lesbian and that I wasn't straight
I'd sleep with women only 
Man, it would be great
I'd throw away my diaphragm, I wouldn't want to mate
I wish I was a lesbian, and that I wasn't straight!

I wish I were a lesbian, I'd like to be a dyke
I'd hang with K.D. Lang 
Mel Gibson, take a hike!
I think it would be nice to love someone who was alike
I wish I was a lesbian, I'd like to be a dyke!

I wish I was a lesbian, that's why this song is sung
It shouldn't really matter how somebody is hung
Other things are more important - like how you use your tongue!
I wish I was a lesbian, that's why this song is sung!

I dare Casey Kasem to play this!

I wish I was a lesbian, and not a hetero
I wouldn't have to deal with men and all their come and go
And all their yucky facial hair and all their machis'mo
(I hate that machis'mo!)
I wish I was a lesbian and not a hetero

Knowing
Composer(s): Keith Relf
Performer(s): The Yardbirds



Laughed and loved, when others sang
Their songs of love, nothing rang
Of truth to me
And then I did not see reality
But now I know

Sad in mind, I thought I'd lost
Someone who would share the cost
Of being here
But now you're always near
And I must sing

Knowing 'bout the happiness
Of sharing nights with you
Knowing 'bout the loneliness
When I'm away from you
Knowing is another song
But this time for you

Always wanting things not there
Making fun, I didn't care
For other's dreams
But now to me it seems
That I was wrong

Knowing 'bout the happiness
Of sharing nights with you
Knowing 'bout the loneliness
When I'm away from you
Knowing is another song
But this time for you

I see when lovers cry
They're trying to touch the sky
But only find
[Their arms are only blind
To pains of love?]

I Wish I Knew The Way To Your Heart
Composer(s): Carlo Alberto Rossi; Al Stillman
Performer(s): Nat King Cole



I wish I knew
Wish I knew if you want me to spend all my life loving you
The way that I feel is hard to conceal 
But you don't reveal if you feel that way too

And I wish I knew
Wish I knew that you loved me as I care for you from the start

I found all your charms your lips and your arms
I wish I knew, I wish I knew
I wish I knew the way to your heart

And I wish I knew
Wish I knew that you loved me as I care for you from the start

I found all your charms, your lips and your arms
I wish I knew, I wish I knew
I wish I knew the way to your heart

Knowing Me, Knowing You

Performer(s): ABBA;

No more carefree laughter
Silence ever after
Walking through an empty house, tears in my eyes
Here is where the story ends, this is goodbye

Knowing me, knowing you (ah-haa)
There is nothing we can do
Knowing me, knowing you (ah-haa)
We just have to face it, this time we're through
(This time we're through, this time we're through
This time we're through, we're really through)
Breaking up is never easy, I know but I have to go
(I have to go this time
I have to go, this time I know)
Knowing me, knowing you
It's the best I can do

Mem'ries (mem'ries), good days (good days), bad days (bad days)
They'll be (they'll be), with me (with me) always (always)
In these old familiar rooms children would play
Now there's only emptiness, nothing to say

Knowing me, knowing you (ah-haa)
There is nothing we can do
Knowing me, knowing you (ah-haa)
We just have to face it, this time we're through
(This time we're through, this time we're through
This time we're through, we're really through)
Breaking up is never easy, I know but I have to go
(I have to go this time
I have to go, this time I know)
Knowing me, knowing you
It's the best I can do

I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel to be Free
Composer(s): Dick Dallas; Billy Taylor
First release by: Billy Taylor Trio - 1963
Covered by multiple other artists



And I wish I knew how
It would feel to be free
I wish that I could break
All the chains holding me
I wish I could say
All the things that I'd like to say
Say 'em loud say 'em clear
For the whole round world to hear
I wish I could share
All the love that's in my heart
Remove every doubt
It keeps us apart
And I wish you could know
What it means to be me
Then you'd see and agree
Every man should be free

I wish I could live

Like I'm longin' to live
I wish I could give
What I'm longin' to give
And I wish I could do
All the things I'd like to do
You know they'll still miss part of you
Yes Sir...
And I'm way way over due

I wish I could be like a bird up in the sky
How sweet it would be
If I found out I could fly
So long to my song
And look down upon Ihe sea
And I sing because I know
I would see you
I sing because I know
I would see you
And I sing because I know
I would see you
To be free 
Yea

Knoxville Girl
(Traditional)
Performer(s): The Wilburn Brothers;
and various other artists



I met a little girl in Knoxville
a town we all know well
And every Sunday evening 
out in her home I'd dwell
We went to take an evening walk
about a mile from town
I thought of how she cheated me so I knocked that fair girl down
I picked a stick up off the ground and knocked that fair girl down
Oh Willy dear don't kill me here I'm not prepare to die
She never spoke another word I only beat her more
Until the ground around me within her blood did flow

[ fiddle - guitar ]

I took her by her golden ces I dragged her round and round
Then threw her into the river that flows through Knoxville town
Go there go there you Knoxville girl with dark and rolling eyes
Go there go there you Knoxville girl you'll never be my wife
I rolled and tumbled the whole night through my dreams were living hell
And then they came from Knoxville and carried me to jail
I'm here to waste my life away and time is passing slow
Because I killed that Knoxville girl the girl I loved so

Turn That Heartbeat Over Again
Composer(s): Donald Fagen - Walter Becker
Performer(s): Steely Dan



With stocking face I bought a gun 
The plan was set the plan was done 
Looked at my watch and started for the door 
Now the food here ain't so good no more 
And they closed the package store 

Love your mama, love your brother 
Love 'em till they run for cover 
Turn the light off, keep your shirt on 
Cry a jag on me 

Oh Michael Oh Jesus you know I'm not to blame 
You know my reputation for playing a good clean game 
Oh Michael Oh Jesus I'll keep my promise when 
You turn that heartbeat over again 

My poison's named you know my brand 
So please make mine a double, Sam 
Stir it up nice I'll eat it right here 
This highway runs from Paraguay 
And I've just come all the way 

Love your mama, love your brother 
Love 'em till they run for cover 
Turn the light off, keep your shirt on 
Cry a jag on me 

We warned the corpse of William Wright 
Not to cuss and drink all night 
Ticket in hand I saw him laid to rest 
But zombie see and zombie do 
He's here with me and you 

Love your mama, love your brother 
Love 'em till they run for cover 
Turn the light off, keep your shirt on 
Cry a jag on me

Performer(s): Dick Haymes

Is this the night I've waited, oh, so long for
Is this my dream at last come true
Are you the one my heart has saved its song for
How can I tell, I wish I knew

I wish I knew someone like you could love me
I wish I knew you place no one above me
Did I mistake this for a real romance
I wish I knew, but only you can answer

If you don't care, why let me hope and pray so
Don't lead me on, if I'm a fool just say so
Should I keep dreaming on or just forget you
What shall I do, I wish I knew

If you don't care, why let me hope and pray so
Don't lead me on, if I'm a fool just say so
Should I keep dreaming on or just forget you
What shall I do, I wish I knew
