Two Steps Forward
Composer(s): Loretta Lynn
Performer(s): Loretta Lynn



Well here you come and I know what I'm gonna say
My mind's made up and I'm a leavin' you today
Well I'm tired of askin' you where you've been 
I'm tired of all this mis'ry I'm in
Two steps forward and six steps back again

Well my clothes're packed and I'm a headin' for the door
Don't look for me back cause I won't be back no more
Well I may think of you now and then
But don't hold your breath cause I don't know when
Two steps forward and six steps back again

Two steps forward and six steps back 
You think I didn't want to go
These tears in my eyes they're not so real 
I'm just puttin' on a show
I'm leavin' this town and that's for certain
Not much I ain't a cryin' not much I ain't a hurtin'
Two steps forward and six steps back again

Two steps forward and six steps back...
Yeah two steps forward and six steps back again

I'd Love To Live In Loveland (With A Girl Like You)
Composer(s): W.R. Williams
Performer(s): The Chordettes; Dennis Day



I want to tell you a story
A story of love that is true
Fill'd with adventure and glory
Of wonderful things we can do
Though we have trouble with Cupid
Love always finds the way
Though the story is old
'Tis the sweetest that's told
So dearie, I just want to say

Ev'rything's lovely in loveland
Where ev'ry heart's beating in tune
Like turtle doves are in Doveland
And life seems a grand honeymoon
There we can stroll in the moonlight
By babbling brooks we'll stray
Won't you come, girl of mine
To that wonderful clime
And lovelight will show us the way

I'd love to live in loveland with a girl like you
And ev'ry day a holiday with skies of baby blue
Where roses bloom forever, and sweethearts are always true
I'd love to live in loveland with a girl like you

I'd love to live in loveland with a girl like you
And ev'ry day a holiday with skies of baby blue
Where roses bloom forever, and sweethearts are always true
I'd love to live in loveland with a girl like you

Killarney, My Home Ov'r The Sea
Composer(s): Frederic Knight Logan



There's a place in Old Ireland that's dear to my heart
't Is the scene of my childhood so fair
From its hills and its valleys, 't was sadness to part
From the Lakes of Killarney
With beauty so rare
Tho' a stranger, alone o'er this wide world I stray
And thy lakes and thy mountains no longer I see
Still the bloom of that valley in mem'ry shall stay
For Erin, Mavourneen, my heart beats for thee

Sure there ne'er was a land where the grass grew so green
Nor a place where the sky was more fair
With the rocks and the rills one harmonious scene
By the Lakes of Killarney
With beauty so rare
I remember the colleens and lads who were there
As they danced in the glen on a bright summer's night
To the pipers glad tune as it rang on the air
Oh to think of that scene, fills my heart with delight

And I long for dear Ireland, Green Isle of the West
Where the shamrock and flow'rs bloom'd for me
There the Angels of Peace fold their bright wings and rest 
By the Lakes of Killarney, my home o'er the sea

Two Steps Behind
Composer(s): Joe Elliott
Performer(s): Def Leppard; Madcap



Walk away - if you want to
It's OK - if you need to
Well you can run
But you can never hide
From the shadow that's creeping up beside you
There's a magic running through your soul
But you can't have it all

(Whatever you do) I'll be two steps behind you
(Wherever you go) I'll be there to remind you
That it only takes a minute of you precious time
To turn around - I'll be two steps behind

Take the time to think about it
Just walk the line - you know you just can't fight it
Take a look around - you'll see what you can find
Light the fire that's burning up inside me
There's a magic running through your soul
But you can't have it all

(Whatever you do) I'll be two steps behind you
(Wherever you go) I'll be there to remind you
That it only takes a minute of you precious time
To turn around - I'll be two steps behind

Now there's a magic running through your soul
But you, you can't have it all

(Whatever you do) I'll be two steps behind you
(Wherever you go) I'll be there to remind you
That it only takes a minute of you precious time
To turn around - I'll be two steps behind

Yeah baby, two steps behind
Oh sugar, two steps behind

Composer(s): Louis Gaste; George Koger; Sonny Miller

I'd love to fall asleep
And wake up in the arms
Of someone I've been dreaming of

When I turn out my light
That's why I pray each night
To every shining star above

And make my life a song
Just like an angel from above

I'd love to fall asleep
And wake up in your arms
The arms of the one I love

Two Sparrows In A Hurricane
Composer(s): Mark Alan Springer
Performer(s): Tanya Tucker



She's fifteen and he's barely driving a car
She's got his ring and he's got the keys to her heart
It's just matter of time
They'll spread their wings and fly

Like two sparrows in a hurricane
Trying to find their way
With a head full of dreams
And faith that can move anything
They've heard it's all uphill
But all they know is how they feel
The world says they'll never make it, love says they will

There's a baby crying and one more on the way
There's a wolf at the door with a big stack of bills
They can't pay
The clouds are dark and the wind is high
But they can see the other side

Like two sparrows in a hurricane
Trying to find their way
With a head full of dreams
And faith that can move anything
They've heard it's all uphill
But all they know is how they feel
The world says they'll never make it, love says they will

She's eighty-three and he's barely driving a car
She's got his ring and he's got the key to her heart
It's just a matter of time
They'll spread their wings and fly

Like two sparrows in a hurricane
Trying to find their way
With a head full of dreams
And faith that can move anything
They've heard it's all uphill
But all they know is how they feel
The world says they'll never make it, love says they will

I'd Love To Change The World
Composer(s): Alvin Lee
Performer(s): Ten Years After
and multiple other artists



Everywhere is freaks and hairies
Dykes and fairies, tell me where is sanity
Tax the rich, feed the poor
Till there are no rich no more?

I'd love to change the world
But I don't know what to do
So I'll leave it up to you

Population keeps on breeding
Nation bleeding, still more feeding economy
Life is funny, skies are sunny
Bees make honey, who needs money, Monopoly

I'd love to change the world
But I don't know what to do
So I'll leave it up to you

World pollution, there's no solution
Institution, electrocution
Just black and white, rich or poor
Them and us, stop the war

I'd love to change the world
But I don't know what to do
So I'll leave it up to you

Killer On The Loose
Composer(s): Phil Lynott
Performer(s): Thin Lizzy; Paul Di'Anno



Some people they call me Jack
Some people they call me insane
I'm looking for somebody
And I don't even know her name
I might be looking for you
Wherever you may be
For there is something I've got to do to you honey
And it's between you and me
Now you might think it's funny
Or maybe it's a joke
But you've got plenty of reason to worry honey
`Cause you wouldn't stand a hope

There's a killer on the loose again
A killer on the loose
There's a killer on the loose again
A ladykiller on the loose

Now I'm not trying to be nasty
Or I'm not trying to make you scared
But there's a killer on the loose
Or haven't you heard
He'll be walking around this town
Just about midnight
Yes, that's Chinatown
That's right
That's right

Now you might think I'm messing
Or he don't exist
But honey I'm confessing
I'm a mad sexual rapist

There's a killer on the loose again
A killer on the loose
There's a killer on the loose again
A ladykiller on the loose

"I'll be standing in the shadows of love
Waiting for you
Don't unzip your zipper
`Cause you know I'm Jack the Ripper
Now don't wail, don't..."

There's a killer on the loose again
Standing in the shadows
A killer on the loose
There's a killer on the loose again
Coming to get you
A ladykiller on the loose
There's a killer on the loose again
Standing in the shadows of love

A killer on the loose
There's a killer on the loose again
That's right Jack
A ladykiller on the loose
There's a killer on the loose again
Standing in the shadow
A killer on the loose again, of love
There's a killer on the loose again
Oooh
You better watch out
A killer on the loose
Play that back
Check it back

Two Sleepy People
Composer(s): Hoagy Carmichael - Frank Loesser
Performer(s): Bing Crosby & Marilyn Maxwell
and multiple other artists



Here we are, out of cigarettes
Holding hands and yawning; look how late it gets
Two sleepy people, by dawn's early light
Too much in love to say good-night
Say, here we are, in this cozy chair
Picking on a wishbone from the Frigidaire
Two sleepy people, with nothing to say
Much to much in love to break away
Do you the remember the nights we used to linger in the hall?
Papa didn't like you at all
But I was crazy 'bout you, baby!
Do you remember the reason why we married in the Fall?
To rent this little nest, and get a bit of rest!
Well, here we are, just about the same
Gawky little fellow, dizzy little dame
Two sleepy people, by dawn's early light
Much to much in love to say good-night
Good-night! 

I'd Love To Build A Love-Nest For You
Composer(s): W.R. Williams



I was blue till I met you for everything was wrong
Now the world seems wonderful and gaily rolls along
And I'm mighty happy since you came my way
Glad I met you, can't forget you, and I'm here to say

Our lovenest will be the best for rest that can be found
Just like castles in the air but built right on the ground
Roses in the garden for our happiness
Birds a singing, bells a ringing, if you'll just say yes

You are my star and little rainbow 
Just like the sunshine from above 
With your winning smile, you make things worth while
just say "yes," for I'll confess 'twill complete our happiness
For you are the star that leads to Love-land
You're the sweetest girl I ever knew
And you make me forget every other girl I've met
I'd love to build a love nest for you

Killer Queen
Composer(s): Freddie Mercury
Performer(s): Queen; 
and various other artists



She keeps Moet et Chandon
In her pretty cabinet
'Let them eat cake' she says
Just like Marie Antoinette
A built-in remedy
For Kruschev and Kennedy
At anytime an invitation
You can't decline

Caviar and cigarettes
Well versed in etiquette
Extraordinarily nice

(chorus)
She's a Killer Queen
Gunpowder, gelatine
Dynamite with a laser beam
Guaranteed to blow your mind
Anytime

Recommended at the price
Insatiable an appetite
Wanna try?

To avoid complications
She never kept the same address
In conversation
She spoke just like a baroness
Met a man from China
Went down to Geisha Minah
Then again incidentally
If you're that way inclined

Perfume came naturally from Paris
For cars she couldn't care less
Fastidious and precise

(chorus)

Drop of a hat she's as willing as
Playful as a pussy cat
Then momentarily out of action
Temporarily out of gas
To absolutely drive you wild, wild..
She's all out to get you

(chorus)

Recommended at the price
Insatiable an appetite
Wanna try?
You wanna try...

Two Sides To Every Story
Composer(s): Bil Owens - Dolly Parton
Performer(s): Porter Wagoner & Dolly Parton



Both:
Two sides to every story
We can straighten this out, it will take time
Two sides to every story
You tell yours and I'll tell mine
Porter:
Well where were you last night when I came home
When I came in you were out and gone
Dolly:
Well I waited up till after two, then I went downtown to look for you
So how's about tellin' me where you were at
Porter:
Well me and the boys stopped off for a drink or two
(Dolly: Now ain't you a pretty thang)
Well we got to drinkin' and I guess the time just flew
Dolly:
Well the time must've flown for you alright
'Cause I thought you're gonna stay out all night
And I told myself I ain't a puttin' up with that
Both:
There's always two sides to every story
We can straighten this out, it will take time
Two sides to every story
You tell yours and I'll tell mine
Porter:
You said you went downtown to look for me
Did you have to dress up fancy as could be
Dolly:
You know I never leave the house in no tacky clothes lookin' like a trout
And I's downtown just a-lookin' my best for you
Porter:
Now I'm not accusin' you of doin' wrong
But that's awful late for you to be out and gone
Dolly:
Now look who's talkin' bout 'bein' late, I wasn't about to sit and wait
While you were out there with it ain't no tellin' who
Both:
There's always two sides to every story
We can straighten this out, it will take time
Two sides to every story
You tell yours and I'll tell mine
There's always two sides to every story
We can straighten this out, it will take time
Two sides to every story
You tell yours and I'll tell mine

I'd like to build the world a home
And furnish it with love
Grow apple trees and honey bees
And snow-white turtle doves

All standing hand in hand
And hear them echo through the hills
For peace throughout the land

Grow apple trees and honey bees

Put your hand in my hand
Help me find the way

Killing Me Softly With His Song
Composer(s): Charles Fox; Norman Gimble
Performer(s): Roberta Flack;
and various other artists



Strumming my pain with his fingers
singing my life with his words
killing me softly with his song
killing me softly with his song
telling my whole life with his words
killing me softly with his song

I heard he sang a good song, I heard he had a style
And so I came to see him to listen for a while
And there he was this young boy, a stranger to my eyes

I felt all flushed with fever, embarrassed by the crowd
I felt he found my letters and read each one out loud
I prayed that he would finish but he just kept right on

He sang as if he knew me in all my dark despair
and then he looked right through me as if I wasn't there
But he just came to singing, singing clear and strong

Two Ships That Passed In The Moonlight
Performer(s): Michael Johnson



He was chasing fame and fortune, glory bound
He was too much in a hurry to slow down
And she was running from some devils that she had inside of her
I'd like to say it was romantic but the truth is that they were

Two ships that passed in the moonlight
Two stars that crossed around midnight
Without a chance either one might ever turn back
Two ships that passed in the moonlight
Two hearts that flashed on a hot night
And then sailed on till they lost sight
And never looked back

There the story might have ended but you see
On that cross was born a child and that child was me
And darling now I must be going even though this might be love
I'd like to stay a little longer but I'm just a product of

Two ships that passed in the moonlight
Two stars that crossed around midnight
Without a chance either one might ever turn back
Two ships that passed in the moonlight
Two hearts that flashed on a hot night
And then sailed on till they lost sight
And never looked back

Kind Hearted Woman
Composer(s): Robert Johnson
Performer(s): Muddy Waters;
and various other artists



I've got a kind hearted woman
she studies evil all the time
I've got a kind hearted woman
she studies evil all the time
You would do to quit me just to have it on your mind

I've got a kind hearted woman, do anything in this world for me
I've got a kind hearted woman, do anything in this world for me 
But these evil hearted women, Lord, and they will not let me be 

Now it ain't but one thing makes Mr. Clapton drink
I swear about how you treat me baby, I begin to think
Oh baby, my life don't feel the same
It breaks my heart when you call Mr. So-and-So's name

She's a kind hearted woman, she studies evil all the time
She's a kind hearted woman, she studies evil all the time 
You're best to quit me baby as just to have it on your mind

Two Purple Shadows
Composer(s): Dick Sanford - Sammy Mysels
Performer(s): Bobby Vinton; Jerry Vale; Franklin Bruno



Two purple shadows on the snow
Shone from her window to the street below
And I was so surprised, I stood there hypnotized
I never realized I loved her so

Two purple shadows on the snow
So close together, they were kissing, I know
That date she had with me, she broke so easily
That it was plain to see, I'd better go

What would you do in my place
What would you do
What would you do in my case
If it happened to you

The wind blew the fire from my heart
Somehow I found the courage to depart
And as I tore up two tickets for a show
They turned to two purple shadows on the snow

What would you do in my place
What would you do
What would you do in my case
If it happened to you

The wind blew the fire from my heart
Somehow I found the courage to depart
And as I tore up two tickets for a show
They turned to two purple shadows on the snow

I'd Like To Know What Happened To Mary
Composer(s): Brandon Walsh; Ernest Breuer



Simple Mary Brown, left her own home town 
For to see the Great White Way 
She was sweet and shy when she said "good-bye"
And she came back home to day 
At the railroad station, all the population waited for the two fifteen 
Her stylish dressing, had the rubes all guessing 
For they didn't know their village queen 
Said Mary's Ma, to Mary's Pa

Mary's Turkey Trots and her new Gavottes 
Had her home town dancing mad 
But the old barn dance, didn't have a chance 
With the loving Tango fad 
Hesitation was the big sensation 
They all tried to do it night and day 
The crops were flopping while the rubes were hopping 
To some brand new dance from gay Broadway
Said Mary's Pa, to Mary's Ma

"I'd like to know what happened to Mary 
Since she went to New York Town 
It surely don't seem like the same old Mary 
Who dressed in a ging ham gown 
She came back wearing seven kinds of hair 
Does the Tango to the Maiden's Pray'r 
I'd like to know what happened to Mary
Since Mary left the old home town"
