Tears Of Rage Composer(s): Bob Dylan - Richard Manuel First recording/First release by: Bob Dylan & The Band - 1967/1975 Covered by multiple other artists
We carried you in our arms on Independence Day And now you'd throw us all aside and put us all away Oh, what dear daughter 'neath the sun could treat a father so? To wait upon him hand and foot and always tell him "No"
Tears of rage, tears of grief Why must I always be the thief? Come to me now, you know we're so low And life is brief
It was all very painless When you went out to receive All that false instruction Which we never could believe And now the heart is filled with gold As if it was a purse But, oh, what kind of love is this Which goes from bad to worse?
Tears of rage, tears of grief Why must I always be the thief? Come to me now, you know we're so low And life is brief
We pointed you the way to go And scratched your name in sand Though you just thought it was nothing more Than a place for you to stand I want you to know that while we watched You discovered no one would be true And I myself was among The ones who thought It was just a childish thing to do
Tears of rage, tears of grief Why must I always be the thief? Come to me now, you know we're so low And life is brief
My Friend The Doctor Composer(s): Leslie Bricusse Originally performed by: Anthony Newley Covered by various other artists
Matthew: He's altogether a marvellous man, an' he understands the Irish! ..........and any man who understands the Irish Can't be reckoned altogether bad The same way that a lunatic Whose patron saint is Patrick Can't be reckoned altogether mad
The doctor's very smart He's an Irishman at heart His favourite colour, sure it must be green Also he's a man Who'll blarney when he can Let me explain the sort of thing I mean
My friend the doctor says The moon is made of apple pie And once a month it's eaten by the sun And that is why Up in the sky You'll find as every month goes by Somebody in the sky's makin' another one!
My friend the doctor says The sun is made of cheddar cheese The doctor even knows the reason why The facts are these Try if you please Pretendin' you're a lonely cheese Wouldn't you want to try findin' an apple pie?
Of course you would!
Maybe what the doctor tells me Isn't altogether true But I love every tale he tells me I don't know any better ones - do you?
My friend the doctor says The world is full of fantasy And who are you and I to disagree? Let's hope and pray That is the way The life we love will always stay For my friend the doctor And me!
Matthew & Company: My friend the doctor says The stars are made of lemon drops The bigger ones are lollipops and ice The clouds have shops Up on the tops That sell you sweets and soda - pops What do they call the place - isn't it paradise?
Company: My friend the doctor says That every time it starts to rain And people run indoors again in swarms If you remain Out in the rain You'll think you're drinkin' pink champagne! And you'll spend your life Prayin' for thunderstorms!
Maybe what the doctor tells me Isn't altogether true But I love every tale he tells me I don't know any better ones - do you?
Matthew: My friend the doctor says The world is full of fantasy And who are you and I to disagree? Let's hope and pray That is the way The life we love will always stay For my friend the doctor My friend the doctor and me!
Goodbye Composer(s): Robert Stolz; Harry Graham Performer(s): Josef Locke; Vernon Midgley; David Whitfield
My heart is broken But what care I? Such pride inside me has woken I'll try my best not to cry By and by When the final farewells must be spoken I'll join the Legion That's what I'll do And in some far distant region Where human hearts are staunch and true I shall start my life anew Good-bye, it's time I sought a foreign clime Where I may find there are hearts more kind Than I leave behind And so, I go To fight a savage foe Although I know that I'll be sometimes missed by the girls I've kissed In some Abyssinian French Dominion I shall do my bit And fall for the flag if I must Where the desert sand is nice and handy I'll be full of grit You won't see my heels for the dust I'll do or die You'll know the reason why When told of bold Leopold's last stand For the Fatherland
Good-bye, it's time I sought a foreign clime Where I may find There are hearts more kind Than I leave behind And so, I go To fight a savage foe Although I know that I'll be sometimes misses by the girls I've kissed In some Abyssinian French Dominion I shall do my bit And fall for the flag if I must Where the desert sand is nice and handy I'll be full of grit You won't see my heels for the dust I'll do or die You'll know the reason why When told of bold Leopold's last stand For the Fatherland Good-bye Good-bye I wish you all a last Good-bye Good-bye Good-bye. I wish you all a last Good-bye
Umbrellas Composer(s): Bruce Dedrick Performer(s): The Free Design
Im walking down the street in the rain, my umbrella high above my head High above my head Puddles along the wet sidewalks and gutters, (pitter patter) Rain lightly falling from the sky (pitter patter) Rain lightly falling from the sky
Red and green and free design Umbrellas are in bloom, nourished by the rain
Im walking down the street in the rain, my umbrella high above my head High above my head
Though the clouds, the blackness and rain I see the lightning strike as though it were pain Rain falling hard on a sea of umbrellas A colorful bottomless ocean Then the wind it blows and it blows I see the umbrellas bend, they creak and they groan Gusting down alleys and through streets of cars Causing unbottled unspent commotion
I spy a patch of blue through a cloud A patch of blue through a shroud Hopefully umbrellas hide and shrink and close As the noonday sun peeks through the clouds
My Friend Composer(s): Howard Greenfield; Neil Sedaka Performer(s): Neil Sedaka
When I'm unhappy and feeling lonely and this old world of mine comes tumbling down you are the someone on who I can depend it's nice to know that I have you, my friend
When I get crazy, you understand me you overlook the things I don't mean to say You're there beside me whenever things go wrong I'm never lonely knowing you're along
You and me, the two of us together we go on and face the world whatever happens No matter what gets in our way we see it through from day to day Right up until the very end it's gonna be me and my friend
We share the good times, we share the bad times we meet life head-on with its ups and its downs Some people tell ya that life's a lonely ride but not for us who travel side by side
You and me, the two of us together we go on and face the world whatever happens No matter what gets in our way we see it through from day to day Right up until the very end it's gonna be me and my friend
I'm never lonely knowing you're along You and me, the two of us together we go on and face the world whatever happens No matter what gets in our way we see it through from day to day Right up until the very end it's gonna be me and my friend
Goodbye Composer(s): Gordon Jenkins Performer(s): Frank Sinatra; and various other artists
I'll never forget you I'll never forget you I'll never forget how we promised one day To love one another forever that way We sad we'd never say, goodbye
But that was long ago Now you've forgotten I know No use to wonder why Let's say farewell, with a sigh, let love die But we'll go on living Our own way of living
So you take the high road And I'll take the low It's time that we parted It's much better so But kiss me as you go, goodbye
Don't Turn Away Composer(s): Chris Dedrick Performer(s): The Free Design
If we have a troubled time, do you stop admiring me? When we see that we arent perfect, do you stop desiring me? I could keep your eyes from crying Please dont turn your back on me You could keep my heart from dying Let me hold you, tenderly
Dont turn away from me dont increase the distance between us when things arent right I love you truly so help me, oh Please let me bury my face in your hair and my hopes in your care My love in your body, my life in your heart beating sadly on nights such as this Dissolved in one kiss
I could keep your eyes from crying Please dont turn your back on me You could keep my heart from dying Let me hold you, tenderly
Dont turn away from me dont increase the distance between us when things arent right I love you truly so help me, oh Please let me bury my face in your hair and my hopes in your care My love in your body, my life in your heart beating sadly on nights such as this Dissolved in one warm, wet, willing kiss
My Friend Composer(s): Ervin Drake; Jimmy Shirl Performer(s): Frankie Laine and various other artists
My friend is the king of all kings And yet my friend walks beside me My friend rules the earth and the sun And yet my friend stops to guide me My friend takes my hand just when all appears in vain And makes it plain, through joy or pain He'll remain my friend My friend tells me life is a road And though it ends at the bending My friend tells me then there's a road beyond this road that is unending Some day when I walk up that happy road that lies around the bend Who will there be to welcome me My friend
Tears In My Heart Composer(s): Leonard Whitcup - Teddy Powell - Walter Samuels Performer(s): Mildred Bailey and multiple other artists
Tears in my heart Oh how my soul cries for you! I'm just a fool, broken hearted Tears in my heart what lonely nights I live through My empty arms call for you
Once there were moonbeams That used to dance around my heart You brought the storm clouds The lightning flash Then the thunder crash
Oh where can there be Another love just for me To turn all the tears in my heart to joy?
My Foolish Heart Composer(s): Ned Washington; Victor Young Originally performed by: Martha Mears Covered by various other artists
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 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 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!
Goodbye Composer(s): Lucio Dalla Performer(s): Lucio Dalla
La luce della luna Le ombre del cortile Un fischio nella notte lontano La voglia di partire Intorno alla città che dorme Milioni di respiri insieme Cosa debbo fare Per farmi voler bene
Tempo dammi tempo Non mi massacrare Tra poco mi addormento lo sento Aiutami a sognare La nave che era in porto è già lontana È un punto in mezzo al mare Per farmi voler bene Che cosa debbo fare
Goodbye Andare via e non tornare mai Ad occhi chiusi non fermarsi mai Con un foglio d'erba in tasca te ne vai
Tempo dammi tempo ancora Non so cosa succede Adesso sto dormendo eppure Mi scorri nelle vene Cisa rà pure un posto dove il cuore Non ha più catene Oppure dimmi il trucco Per farsi voler bene
Goodbye Andare via, non tornare mai Ad occhi chiusi non fermarti mai Con un foglio d'erba in tasca te ne vai
La luna che era in cielo scende Chissà dov'è che va a dormire Si sente già la gente Che è pronta per uscire
Goodbye Andare via, non tornare mai Ad occhi chiusi non fermarsi mai Con un foglio d'erba in tasca te ne vai
Tears In My Beer Composer(s): Roddy Byers - The Specials Performer(s): The Specials
Tears in my beer Well it just ain't clear I had a dream Well so it seems She's in the sun Not having fun And I'm standing here Just the lonely one
Tears in my beer Here comes another year Seen it all before Just like a closing door There was a time When she was mine Well it's so long ago Does she want to know?
I know you just think that I'm just singing the blues But I've got nothing to lose
Tears in my beer It's getting clear Her face I see Right next to me She's drinking wine And looking fine I'm feeling sad It's just a dream I had
I know you just think that I'm just singing the blues But I've got nothing to lose
Tears in my beer It just ain't clear I had a dream Well so it seems She's in the sun Just having fun While I'm standing here Tears in my beer
My Fist Your Face Composer(s): Aerosmith Performer(s): Aerosmith
Wake up baby, what you in for Start the day upon your knees What you pissin' in the wind for You musta snorted too much bleas East house pinball wizard Full tilt bozo plague Second floor trekkie Makin' warp speed out the door Julio Afrokeluchie He the only one who stayed Countin' up the days Please no more
My Fist Your Face That's for sure
Hey Betty Boop you got me droolin' I'm buzzing 'round your hive tonight You play the hooky stead of schoolin' Son of a bitch put out the light Thirteen year old hookers Take a sack right trough the bars You wonder why the man's outside the door Junior achivers, got the old bull by the horns Back in the saddle gets you sore
My Fist Your Face That's for sure
East house pinball wizard Full tilt bozo plague Second floor trekkie Makin' warp speed out the door Julio Afrokeluchie He the only one who stayed Countin' up the days Please no more
Ah, my fist your face That's for sure Oh-hoo yeah My fist your face That's for sure oh-hooo My fist your face That's for sure oh-hoo My fist your face That's for sure
Goodbye Composer(s): Francesco Paolo Tosti; G.J. Whyte-Melville Performer(s): John McCormack & Fritz Kreisler; Enrico Caruso; Richard Crooks
Falling leaf and fading tree Lines of white in a sullen sea Shadows rising on you and me Shadows rising on you and me The swallows are making them ready to fly Wheeling out on a windy sky Good-bye, Summer! Good-bye, Good-bye, Summer Good-bye!
Hush! A voice from the faraway! Listen and learn, it seems to say All tomorrows shall be as today All tomorrows shall be as today The chords is frayed the cruse is dry The link must break, and the lamp must die Good-bye, to Hope! Good-bye, Good-bye! Good-bye, to Hope! Good-bye, Good-bye!
What are we waiting for? Oh! My heart! Kiss me straight on the brows! And part! Again! Again! My heart! What are we waiting for, you and I? A pleading look, a stifled cry Good-bye, forever! Good-bye, forever! Good-bye, Good-bye, Good-bye!
Tears In Heaven Composer(s): Eric Clapton - Will Jennings First release by: Eric Clapton - 1991 Covered by multiple other artists
Would you know my name If I saw you in heaven Will it be the same If I saw you in heaven I must be strong, and carry on 'Cause I know I don't belong Here in heaven
Would you hold my hand If I saw you in heaven Would you help me stand If I saw you in heaven I'll find my way, through night and day 'Cause I know I just can't stay Here in heaven
Time can bring you down Time can bend your knee Time can break your heart Have you begging please Begging please
Beyond the door There's peace I'm sure And I know there'll be no more... Tears in heaven
Would you know my name If I saw you in heaven Will it be the same If I saw you in heaven I must be strong, and carry on 'Cause I know I don't belong Here in heaven
My Filipino Rose Composer(s): Hank Snow Performer(s): Hank Snow; Ernest Tubb
The postman dropped a letter at my door The address wasnt plain but I could see It had traveled far across the great Pacific From My Filipino Rose across the sea
But Im still praying that the trade wind sends you sailing across the blue In my harbor of dreams youll anchor, where your lonely Filipino waits for you
The writing from her trembling hands was blurred The paper it was sadly stained with tears It read, they tell me you have wed another After I have longed and waited all these years
But Im still praying that the trade wind sends you sailing across the blue In my harbor of dreams youll anchor, where your lonely Filipino waits for you
I promised her that Id return someday I told her she had won my heart and hand I told her a line cause I was lonely Far from home a stranger in a foreign land
But Im still praying that the trade wind sends you sailing across the blue In my harbor of dreams youll anchor, where your lonely Filipino waits for you
She wrote, Ive watched the driftwood float on by Ive watched the sea roll on its weary way I have watched the silver sails out on the ocean Hoping you might return to me someday
But Im still praying that the trade wind sends you sailing across the blues In my harbor of dreams youll anchor, where your lonely Filipino waits for you
The chains of my love may never set you free But thru the years as memories fonder grow This broken heart will always wait for you, dear It was signed your lonely Filipino Rose
But Im still praying that the trade wind sends you sailing across the blue In my harbor of dreams youll anchor, where you Filipino waits for you
Goodbat Nightman Composer(s): John Gorman; Roger McGough; Mike McGear Performer(s): The Scaffold
God bless all policemen and fighters of crime May thieves go to jail for a very long time They've had a hard day helping clean up the town Now they hang from the mantle piece, both upside down A glass of warm blood and then straight up the stairs Batman and Robin are saying their prayers
Batman & Robin: God bless Superman and Superwoman! Aquaman and Aquawoman! Ironman and Ironwoman! Spiderman and Spiderwoman! Plasticman and Plasticwoman! Crazyman an-
Robin: B-b-Batman
Batman: Yes Robin
Robin: W-w-was there ever a Batwoman?
Batman: There was once, Boy Wonder, a long time back
Robin: Where is she now?
Batman: I'm afraid she's no longer with us
Robin: Oh, you mean...?
Batman: Yes, she's in the great belfry up there in the sky
Robin: Holy Saint Batwoman, what happened?
Batman: She rather foolishly got in the way of the batmobile
Robin: Suicide?
Batman: Batricide!
Robin: Gosh, why didn't I think of that
They've locked all the doors and they've put out the bat (Meouw!) Put on the batjamas (We like doing that!) Filled the batwater-bottles, made the batbeds With two springy batrasses for sleepy batheads They're closing red eyes and they're counting black sheep Batman and Robin are falling asleep
My Brother Woody Composer(s): Chris Dedrick Performer(s): The Free Design; Bart Davenport
Hikin a football between his knees runnin to catch a pass Climbing up the friendly trees fallin in the grass My brother Woody
Singin a song and playin guitar laughin at every goof Tryin to touch the morning star from the toolshed roof My brother Woody
Dont go away and leave the lights on Curtain strings dont get yanked Gotta watch out for Mom "the Bomb" Be good enough not to get spanked My brother Woody
Filipino Baby Composer(s): Billy Cox; Clark Van Ness; Ernest Tubb Performer(s): Ernest Tubb and various other artists
When the warships left Manila, sailing proudly over the sea All, the sailors hearts were filled with found regret Looking backward to this island where they spent such happy hours Making love to ever pretty girl they met
Then up step a little sailor with his bright eyes all aglow Saying, take a look at my gals photograph Then the sailors gathered around him Just to look upon her face And he said I love my Filipino Baby
Shes my Filipino Baby Shes my treasure and my pet Her teeth are bright and pearly And her hair is black as jet O her lips are sweet as honey And her heart is true I know Shes my darling little Filipino Baby
In a little rustic cottage in the far off Philippines Dwells a lonely little maiden all alone She is thinking of her true love, though he is far across the sea And her heart beats true for him and him alone
Then one day he whispered "Darlin Ive come back from Caroline" "Ive come back to claim the only girl I love" Then that night there was a wedding while the ships crew gathered round And he wed his little Filipino Baby
Shes my Filipino Baby Shes my treasure and my pet Her teeth are bright and pearly And her hair is black as jet O her lips are sweet as honey And her heart is true I know Shes my darling little Filipino Baby
