Talk Talk
Composer(s): Sean Bonniwell
First release by: The Music Machine - 1966
Covered by multiple other artists



I got me a complication
And it's an only child
Concernin' my reputation
As something more than wild
I know it serves me right
But I can't sleep at night
Have to hide my face
Or go some other play-ay-ay-ay-ay-ace

I won't cry out for justice
Admit that I was wrong
I'll stay in hibernation
'Til the talk subsides to gone
My social life's a dud
My name is really mud
I'm up to here in lies
Guess I'm down to size
To size

Can't seem to talk about
The things that bother me
Seems to be
What everybody has
Against me
Oh, oh, all right

Here's the situation
And how it really stands
I'm out of circulation
I've all but washed my hands
My social life's a dud
My name is really mud
I'm up to here in lies
Guess I'm down to size
To size

Mr. Blue Sky
Composer(s): Jeff Lynne
Originally performed by: Electric Light Orchestra
Covered by various other artists



Sun is shinin' in the sky
There ain't a cloud in sight
It's stopped rainin'
Everybody's in a play
And don't you know
It's a beautiful new day

Runnin' down the avenue
See how the sun shines brightly
In the city on the streets
Where once was pity
Mr. Blue Sky is living here today

Mr. Blue Sky, please tell us why
You had to hide away
For so long where did we go wrong

Hey there Mr. Blue
We're so pleased to be with you
Look around see what you do
Everybody smiles at you

Hey you with the pretty face
Welcome to the human race
A celebration Mr. Blue Sky's
Up there waitin' and today
Is the day we've waited for

Mr. Blue Sky, please tell us why
You had to hide away
For so long where did we go wrong

Mr. Blue you did it right
But soon comes Mr. Night
Creepin' over, now his
Hand is on your shoulder
Never mind I'll remember you this way

Mr. Blue Sky, please tell us why
You had to hide away
For so long where did we go wrong

Glad Rags
Composer(s): Johnny Bond
Performer(s): Johnny Bond;
Jimmy Dean; Mac Wiseman



Now honey, you do the dishes and I'll feed the old sow
Also the chickens and our one Jersey cow
Take down yur curlers and powder your nose
Big time at Jones' place, so wear your best clothes
There'll be no evening gowns, not even a tux
They'll come in wagons, buggies and pick-up trucks
We'll do square dancin' under kerosine light
We'll wear glad rags tonight, my honey
We'll wear glad rags tonight

Big time at Jones' place, so wear your best clothes

Silvester comin', hum and fiddle a tune
Red headed kids will swipe away his spittoon
Then run and hide behind a bale of hay
But that old sittin' hen will scare 'em away
Look for me beside the old cider keg
I'll set my cup down and we'll both shake a leg
Never a ballroom had a prettier sight
We'll wear glad rags tonight, my honey
We'll wear glad rags tonight

Tales Of Brave Ulysses
Composer(s): Eric Clapton - Martin Sharp
First release by: Cream - 1967
Covered by multiple other artists



You thought the leaden winter would bring you down forever
But you rode upon a steamer to the violence of the sun

And the colours of the sea blind your eyes with trembling mermaids
And you touch the distant beaches with tales of brave Ulysses
How his naked ears were tortured by the sirens sweetly singing
For the sparkling waves are calling you to kiss their white-laced lips

And you see a girl's brown body dancing through the turquoise
And her footprints make you follow where the sky loves the sea
And when your fingers find her, she drowns you in her body
Carving deep blue ripples in the tissues of your mind

The tiny purple fishes run laughing through your fingers
And you want to take her with you to the hard land of the winter

Her name is Aphrodite and she rides a crimson shell
And you know you cannot leave her for you touched the distant sands
With tales of brave Ulysses; how his naked ears were tortured
By the sirens sweetly singing

The tiny purple fishes run laughing through your fingers
And you want to take her with you to the hard land of the winter

Mr. Blue
Composer(s): DeWayne Blackwell
Originally performed by: The Fleetwoods
Covered by various other artists



Our guardian star lost all his glow
The day that I lost you
He lost all his glitter the day you said "No"
And his silver turned to blue
Like him, I am doubtful that your love is true
But if you decide to call on me
Ask for Mr. Blue

I'm Mr. Blue (wah-a-wah-ooh)
When you say you love me (ah, Mr. Blue)
Then prove it by goin' out on the sly
Provin' your love isn't true
Call me Mr. Blue

I'm Mr. Blue (wah-a-wah-ooh)
When you say you're sorry (ah, Mr. Blue)
Then turn around, head for the lights of town
Hurtin' me through and through
Call me Mr. Blue

I stay at home at night (I stay at home)
Right by the phone at night (right by the phone)
But you won't call
And I-I won't hu-urt my pride (call me Mr.)

I won't tell you (wah-a-wah-ooh)
Why you paint the town (ah, Mr. Blue)
A bright red to turn it upside down
I'm paintin' it too
But I'm paintin' it blue
Call me Mr. Blue (wah-a-wah-ooh)
Call me Mr. Blue (wah-a-wah-ooh)

Call me Mr. Blue

Tal Vez Cheché
Performer(s): Jaime Roos



Allá en el cielo te están llamando
Y en una de esas lo vas a oír
Allá en el suelo te están llamando
Y en una de esas vas a morir 

Tal vez Cheché
Te digo che 

Allá en el viento te estás buscando
Y en una de esas anunciarán
Que el jugador seguirá en el campo
Aunque sus alas no quieran más 

Tal vez Cheché
Te digo che 

Y cuando nadie recuerde tu alma
Cuando se incendie una catedral
Manos de fuego abrirán tus alas
Y tu graznido renacerá 

Tal vez Cheché
Te digo che

(Oh yeah, ooh)
Mr. Big Stuff
Who do you think you are
Mr. Big Stuff 
You're never gonna get my love

Now because you wear all those fancy clothes (oh yeah)
And have a big fine car, oh yes you do now
Do you think I can afford to give you my love (oh yeah)
You think you're higher than every star above

Mr. Big Stuff 
Who do you think you are
Mr. Big Stuff 
You're never gonna get my love

Now I know all the girls I've seen you with
I know you broke their hearts one after another now, bit by bit
You made 'em cry, many poor girls cry
When they try to keep you happy, they just try to keep you satisfied

Mr. Big Stuff, tell me tell me
Who do you think you are
Mr. Big Stuff 
You're never gonna get my love

I'd rather give my love to a poor guy that has a love that's true (oh yeah)
Than to be fooled around and get hurt by you
'Cause when I give my love, I want love in return (oh yeah)
Now I know this is a lesson Mr. Big Stuff you haven't learned

Mr. Big Stuff, tell me
Who do you think you are
Mr. Big Stuff 
You're never gonna get my love

Mr. Big Stuff
You're never gonna break my heart

Just who do you think you are
Mr. Big Stuff 
You're never gonna get my love

Thank you kindly for thinking of me
If I'm not smiling I'm just thinking

Glad and sorry, happy or sad
When all is done and spoken
You're up or I'm down

Can you show me a dream
Can you show me one that's better than mine
Can you stand it in the cold light of day
Neither can I

Can you show me a dream
Can you show me one that's better than mine
Can you stand it in the cold light of day
Neither can I

Tal Vez
Performer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute



Qué hacer cuando ser uno mismo
es cine de terror
qué hacer cuando el deseo
es policía del amor
qué hacer cuando es un éxito
matar al perdedor
qué hacer cuando la máscara
le sobra al impostor
Tal vez huir
huir a la vida
tal vez vivir
vivir en la huida
tal vez
Qué hacer cuando mirar no es ver
aquello que se ve
qué hacer cuando el futuro
es un espejo en la pared.
qué hacer cuando el mercado
de almas es dogma de fe
qué hacer cuando ser libre
es preguntarse: ¿para qué?
Tal vez huir...
Qué hacer cuando los héroes
persiguen un balón
qué hacer cuando es anónima
la carne de cañón
qué hacer cuando los monstruos
se han cargado de razón
qué hacer cuando el latido
ya dispara al corazón
Tal vez huir...

Taking The Chance
Composer(s): Graham Russell
Performer(s): Air Supply



You're in-between a page of life you never dreamed
The answer won't come from that magazine
This time it's real and you're not sure just what to feel
Who can I trust to say
Should I give love now should I take love now

I'm taking the chance
And giving myself to you
If something's not right then tell me I'm wrong
I just want our love to carry on

Sometimes the fear of losing you has been so near
I needed to make this choice on my own
To let love in when I'm so scared when things begin
Don't ever run away I feel close to you now
You know I need you now

I'm taking the chance
And giving myself to you
If something's not right then tell me I'm wrong
I just want our love to carry on

I'm taking the chance
I can't let this feeling leave
I don't want those nights of waiting so long
I'm taking the chance before it's gone

Taking the chance
Taking the chance
Taking the chance
Taking the chance
On you

I'm taking the chance
I can't let this feeling leave
I don't want those nights of waiting so long
I'm taking the chance before it's gone

Mr. Bad Example
Composer(s): Jorge Calderon; Warren Zevon
Performer(s): Warren Zevon



I started as an altar boy working at the church
Learning all my holy moves doing some research
Which led me to a cash box labelled "Children's Fund"
I'd leave the change and tuck the bills inside my cumberbund

I got a part-time job at my father's carpet store
Laying tackless stripping and housewives by the score
I loaded up their furniture and took it to Spokane
Auctioned off every last naugahyde divan

I'm very well acquainted with the seven deadly sins
I keep a busy schedule trying to fit them in
I'm proud to be a glutton and I don't have time for sloth
I'm greedy and I'm angry and I don't care who I cross

I'm, intruder in the dirt
I llike to have a good time and I don't care who gets hurt
I'm, take a look at me
I'll live to be a hundred and go down in history

Of course I went to law school and got a law degree
And counselled all my clients to plead insanity
Then worked in hair replacement swindling the bald
Where very few are chosen, fewer still are called

Then on to Monte Carlo play chemin de fer
I threw away the fortune I made transplanting hair
I put my last few francs down on a prostitute
Who took me up to her room to perform the flag salute

Whereupon I stole her passport and her wig
And headed for the airport and the midnight flight, you dig?
Fourteen hours later I was down in Adelaide
Looking through the want ads sipping Foster's in the shade

I opened up an agency somewhere down the line
To hire aboriginals to work the opal mines
But I attached their wages and took a whopping cut
And whisked away their workman's comp and pauperized the lot

I'm, intruder in the dirt
I llike to have a good time and I don't care who gets hurt
I'm, take a look at me
I'll live to be a hundred and go down in history

I bought a first class ticket on Malaysian Air
Landed in Sri Lanka none the worse for wear
I'm thinking of retiring from all my dirty deals
See you in the next life, wake me up for meals

Glad All Over

Ain't no doubt about it
Ain't no doubt about it, this must be love
One little kiss from you and I feel glad all over
Ooh baby, hot-dang-dilly, it's so silly but I'm glad all over
I got goose pimples baby, 'cause it feels so good
When you cuttle me like you do and I feel glad all over
Ooh mercy, I'm a real cool pappy and I'm happy
And I'm glad all over
Well your touch goes through me like electric fire
Well, every part of me glows
It don't take much lookin' to see what I got
'Cause it shows, shows!
Come on honey please one more time
Everytime you do, well I feel glad all over
Ooh mercy, hot-dang-dilly, it's so silly but I'm glad all over

Well I'm tryin' to tell you I'm cookin' inside
When we're cheek to cheek
Temperature's low but my fever is hot
I can't speak, I'm so weak
Come on honey-bunny kiss me one more time
Everytime you do, well I feel glad all over
Ooh mercy, hot-dong-dilly, it's so silly but I'm glad all over
Hot-dang-dilly, it's so silly but I'm glad all over
Ooh, hot-dang-dilly, it's so silly but I'm glad all over

Let's come on and get together
Like the sky gets to the sea
Just taking some time on
Let's come on and make it better

To talk about the hidden feelings of their mind
Let's come on and get together
Let's come on and get together

Like the sky with the sea
Just taking some time on

Let's come on and tell the story
Of the way it used to be
Just taking some time on
Let's come on and sing a song now
Of the days when we were free
Just taking some time on
For those who feel inclined
To talk about the hideen feelings of their mind
Let's come on and get together

Mr. Apollo
Composer(s): Vivian Stanshall; Neil Innes
Performer(s): The Bonzo Dog Band



I have seen Mr. Apollo uproot trees with his bare hands
I have seen Mr. Apollo's body-building plan
He's the strongest man the world has ever seen
And if you take his courses, he'll make you big and rough
And-- and you can beat up bullies until they cry
"oh lor'! 
Oh, crikey let go, you rotter 
Don't punish me!"

And you're tough (You're very fit)
Your voice is gruff (It sounds like grit)
You are so strong (and proud of it)
Thanks to Mr. Apollo
Follow Mr. Apollo
Everybody knows he's the greatest benefactor of mankind
Follow Mr. Apollo
Everybody knows that a healthy body makes a healthy mind

You know
He's the strongest man the world has ever seen
And if you take his courses, he'll make you big and rough
And-- you can kick the sand right back in their faces 
Kick! (laugh)

Chorus

(Chorus In Background)
Yes 
Just give me ten years of your life 
and I'll trade in that puny flab for living muscle 
The physique you deserve! 
Strong
Chesty shoulders to hold your shirt up (He can do it for you)
Five years ago, I was a four-stone apology 
Today, I am two separate gorillas 
No tiresome excercises 
No tricks 
No unpleasant bending 
Wrestle poodles and win! 
Play beachball!
Shave your legs (Yes, he can do it for you)
Knock over walls 
Tease people! 
Brush them aside as though they were matchsticks 
Impress your friends

Giving Up
Composer(s): Van McCoy
Performer(s): Donny Hathaway;
and various other artists



Giving up is hard to do
When you really love someone
Giving up .... so hard to do
When you still depend upon
Her warm and tender touch
Her kiss and her hug..........her caress
Oooooh that used to mean so much
And bring you happiness
Woooo ooooooooh

Giving up, so hard to do
I've tried
But it just ain't no use
Giving up, so hard to do
I said I've tried
But it just ain't no use
But my light of hope is burning dim
But
But in my heart I pray
That my love and faith in the girl
My love...will bring her back someday

I'm talking 'bout when you really love someone

Whether
Whether she knows or not
She really needs me too
The little girl is all I got
Yes she is
And giving, giving up is hard to do
Giving up
So hard to do
Heey...giving up
So very hard to do
I said I've tried
Hey, but I just can't get loose
Giving up
So hard for me to do
I don't want to lose you
Cause you mean so much to me

Taking My Business Elsewhere
Composer(s): Richard Thompson
Performer(s): Richard Thompson



If she's not here by now, then I guess she's not coming
If she's not here by now, then I guess she don't care
Oh waiter, I won't waste your time anymore
You've already started to sweep down the floor
And I guess she's not coming, so I'll head for the door
I'll be taking my business elsewhere

It wasn't for me, that spark in her eyes
It wasn't for me, that halo in her hair
When she touched me a lump rose up into my throat
But she must act that way with any old soak
And waiter you don't seem to share in the joke
So I'll be taking my business elsewhere

She called me her fantasy
And boldly she kissed me
I'll never get over the sheer surprise
Of her acting that way
And I'm healing okay
But for the eyes of her...

Oh it's cold in the rain and it's dark and it's sad
And I'll miss her tonight on my lonely back stair
I'm sorry for taking so much of your space
I'll move down the street to some friendlier place
'Cause I guess she's not coming, and you're sick of my face
I'll be taking my business elsewhere

Mr. And Mrs. Used To Be
Composer(s): Joe Deaton
Performer(s): Ernest Tubb;
Loretta Lynn; Leon Redbone



Now we go our separate ways Mr. and Mrs. Used To Be
For oh so long I've loved you I know that you loved me
But time moved on and we grew far apart
It's not the way I wanted but the judge has set you free
Although you're still the first one in my heart

I just don't understand it how people such as we
Could know the love that we have known but somehow disagree
I hope that you'll be happy the same to you from me
Now we go our separate ways Mr. and Mrs. Used To Be

At first it was like heaven on earth for you and me
But heaven's sure has changed a lot since then
I can't put all the blame on you for some belongs to me
What started out as heaven reached an end

I guess we could have made it but pride stood in our way
For love to live it must have worked we never seemed the same
And so I say goodbye now, kiss the kids for me
Now we go our separate ways Mr. and Mrs. Used To Be
