A flight of steel eagles tearing by The ripped silk screaming of the rended sky Flame on through sound and make time fly What a good way to go... What a good way to go
In the aero space age... inferno
Fly through the ground like a circus hound Through the burning hoop in just one bound So not even your ashes will be found What a good way to go... What a good way to go
In the aero space age... inferno
Set the controls for the heart of the Earth The silver machine's worth more than you're worth But the phoenix soul is bound for rebirth What a good way to go... What a good way to go
Call Any Vegetable
Composer(s): Frank Zappa
Performer(s): The Mothers of Invention
(Cheesey, Cheesey)
(This is a song about vegetables, they keep ya regular
They're real good for yo)
Call any vegetable
Call it by name
Call one today When you get off the train
Call any vegetable And the chances are good
Aw, The vegetable will respond to you
(Some people don't go for prunes ...
I don't know, I've always found that if they ...)
Call any vegetable
Pick up your phone
Think of a vegetable
Lonely at home
Call any vegetable
And the chances are good
That a vegetable will *respond* to you
Rutabaga, Rutabaga
Rutabaga, Rutabaga
Rutabay-y-y-y ...
(A prune isn't really a vegetable ...
Cabbage is a vegetable ...)
No one will know
If you don't want to let them know
No one will know
'Less it's you that might tell them so
Call and they'll come to you
Covered with dew
Vegetables dream
Of responding to you
Standing there shiny and proud by your side
Holding your hand while the neighbors decide
Why is a vegetable something to hide?
Falling Out Of Love Can Be Fun Composer(s): Irving Berlin Performer(s): Mary McCarty; and various other artists
Crocodile tears will not be shed They're not for a lady like I'm I can recall what my aunt said When she married for the twentieth time
Falling out of love can be fun After love is over and done It's an awful blow and although it's upsetting So much you can do while you're forgetting Falling out of love can be fun
When you've find your lover has gone Get your second wind and go on There's an old affair that is there for renewing In your grief, do you know what you're doing? Falling out of love can be fun
Soon, you'll be swinging in a hammock on a porch One arm wrapped around someone else The other arm carrying a torch
Love can give a lady a clout And she may be down but not out Get yourself a date, don't you wait for the count of ten, then Falling out of love can be falling in love again
Falling out of love can be fun Someone else can soon be the one By another name, he's the same as his brother Close your eyes and one is like the other Falling out of love can be fun
When he goes before you have wed And the stork is over your head Soon you're gonna be with a she or a laddie Smile as you go shopping for a daddy Falling out of love can be fun
Soon, you'll be losing all your troubles and your fears One eye winking at someone else The other eye filling up with tears
When you find your lovin' romance Gets a sudden kick in the pants Get yourself surrounded and bounded with lots of men, then Falling out of love can be falling in love again
The Adventures Of Robin Hood Composer(s): Carl Sigman
Robin Hood, Robin Hood, riding through the glen Robin Hood, Robin Hood, with his band of men Feared by the bad, loved by the good Robin Hood! Robin Hood! Robin Hood!
He called the greatest archers to a tavern on the green They vowed to help the people of the King They handled all the trouble on the English country scene And still found plenty of time to sing
Robin Hood, Robin Hood, riding through the glen Robin Hood, Robin Hood, with his band of men Feared by the bad, loved by the good Robin Hood! Robin Hood! Robin Hood!
Falling Leaves Composer(s): Grandpa Jones; Louis Jones Performer(s): Grandpa Jones; Pam Linton; Cliff Waldron; Billy Walker
By the grave site of this near forgotten man On this cold November morning here I stand Thinking of the friends he lost for the love of gold This story through the years has often been told
Falling leaves that lie scattered on the ground The birds and flowers that were here cannot be found All the friends that he once knew are not around They're all scattered like the leaves upon the ground
Some folks drift along through life and never thrill To the feeling that a good deed brings until It's too late and they are ready to lie down There beneath the leaves that's scattered on the ground
Lord, let my eyes see every need of every man Make me stop and always lend a helping hand Then when I'm laid beneath that little grassy mound There'll be more friends around than leaves upon the ground
To your grave there's no use taking any gold You cannot use it when it's time for hands to fold When you leave this earth for a better home someday The only thing you'll take is what you gave away
The Adventures Of Jim Bowie Composer(s): Ken Darby Performer(s): The King's Men
Jim Bowie! Jim Bowie! He was a fighter, a fearless and mighty adventurin' man! He roamed the wilderness unafraid From Natchez to Rio Grande With all the might of his gleaming blade Flashing from either hand Jim Bowie! Jim Bowie! He was a fighter, a fearless and mighty adventurin' man!

Falling In Love With Love Composer(s): Lorenz Hart; Richard Rodgers Performer(s): Frances Langford; and various other artists
Falling in love with love is falling for make-believe Falling in love with love is playing the fool Caring too much is such a juvenile fancy Learning to trust is just for children in school
I fell in love with love one night when the moon was full I was unwise with eyes unable to see I fell in love with love, with love everlasting But love fell out with me
Oh, I fell in love with love one night when the moon was full I was unwise with eyes unable to see I fell in love with love, with love everlasting But love fell out with me
Do I Love You Because You're Beautiful Composer(s): Richard Rodgers - Oscar Hammerstein II Performer(s): Julie Andrews & Jon Cypher and multiple other artists
Prince: Do I love you because you're beautiful, or are you beautiful because I love you? Am I making believe I see in you a girl too lovely to be really true? Do I want you because you're wonderful, or are you wonderful because I want you? Are you the sweet invention of a lover's dream or are you really as beautiful as you seem?
Cinderella: Am I making believe I see in you a man too perfect to be really true? Do I want you because you're wonderful, or are you wonderful because I want you?
Both: Are you the sweet invention of a lover's dream or are you really as wonderful as you seem?

Performer(s): Marlene Dietrich - 1930
Covered by multiple other artists
Falling in love again Never wanted to What am I to do? Can't help it
Love's always been my game Play it as I may I was born that way Can't help it
Men flock around me Like moths around a flame And if their wings burn I know I'm not to blame
Falling in love again Never wanted to What am I to do? Can't help it
Love's always been my game Play it as I may I was born that way Can't help it

California, Here I Come
Composer(s): Al Jolson - Bud De Sylva - Joseph Meyer
First recording/First release by: Al Jolson - 1924
Covered by multiple other artists
When the wintry winds are blowing and the snow is starting in to fall then my eyes turn west-ward knowing that's the place I love the best of all California , I've been blue, since I've been away from you I can't wait 'til I get going Even now I'm starting in to call Oh...
California, here I come right back where I started from Where Bowers of flowers bloom in the spring Each morning at dawning, birdies sing an' everything A sunkist miss said, "Don't be late" that's why I can hardly wait Open up that Golden Gate California here I come
Any one who likes to wander ought to keep this saying in his mind "Absence makes the heart grow fonder" of the good old place you leave behind When you've hit the train awhile, seems you rarely see a smile that's why I must fly out yonder, where a frown is mighty hard to find! Oh....
California, here I come right back where I started from Where Bowers of flowers bloom in the spring Each morning at dawning, birdies sing an' everything A sunkist miss said, "Don't be late" that's why I can hardly wait Open up that Golden Gate California here I come

The Actor Composer(s): Justin Hayward Performer(s): The Moody Blues
The curtain rises on the scene With someone shouting to be free The play unfolds before my eyes There stands the actor who is me
The sleeping hours takes us far From traffic, telephones and fear Put out your problems with the cat Escape until a bell you hear
Our reasons are the same But there's no-one we can blame For there's nowhere we need go And the only truth we know comes so easily
The sound I have heard in your hello Oh, oh, darling, you're almost part of me Oh, oh, darling, you're all I'll ever see Ah, ah, ah
It's such a rainy afternoon No point in going anywhere The sounds just drift across my room I wish this feeling I could share
It's such a rainy afternoon She sits and gazes from her window Her mind tries to recall his face The feeling deep inside her grows
Our reasons are the same But there's no-one we can blame For there's nowhere we need go And the only truth we know comes so easily
The sound I have heard in your hello Oh, oh, darling, you're almost part of me Oh, oh, darling, you're all I'll ever see The sound I have heard in your hello Oh, oh, darling, you're all I'll ever see Oh, oh, darling, you're almost part of me Ah, ah, ah

Falling In And Out Of Love Composer(s): Craig Fuller Performer(s): Pure Prairie League
More than what I feel... Touchin' what is real... All our thoughts are reelin' round... Carolina's feelin' down... To-day Falling in and out of love with you... Falling in and out of love with you Don't know what I'm gonna do I keep falling in and out of love with you
I can see why you think you belong to me I never tried to make you think Or let you see one thing for your self But now your off with someone else and I'm alone You see I thought that I might keep you for my own Well I guess I was wrong
Amie what you wanna do, I think I could stay with you For a while, maybe longer if I do
Don't you think the time is right for us to find All the things we thought weren't proper could be right in time And can't you see, which way we should turn together or alone I can never see what's right or what is wrong (And you take to long to tell me)
Amie what you wanna do, I think I could stay with you For a while, maybe longer if I do
Now it's come to what you want you've had your way And all the things you thought before just faded into gray And can you see, That I don't know if its you or if its me If its one of us I'm sure we'll both will see So take a good long look and tell me...
Amie what you wanna do, I think I could stay with you For a while, maybe longer if I do (Longer if I do) (Repeat) I'd just keep... Falling in and out of love with you Falling in and out of love with you Don't know what I'm gonna do, I keep Falling in and out of love, with you
Accrington Pals Composer(s): Mike Harding Performer(s): Mike Harding
Smoky town where they were born Down in the valley, smoky little streets They were pals from childhood days Climbing trees and running through the fields And they all played together through the turning of the years Sharing their laughter, sharing all their fears The Seasons saw them growing and Seasons passing turned them round With the changing, changing, changing years Accrington Pals
Schooldays' end, the lads all went To work, some spinning, some weaving in the sheds On the land or down the pit Working hard to earn their daily bread. And they all went walking up old Pendle Hill On Sundays the larks sang high above the dales Little Willie Riley played his mandolin and sang They were laughing, they were smilingsinging then Accrington Pals
1916, came the call "We need more lads to battle with the Hun Lads of Lancashire, heed the call With God on our side, the battle will soon be won" So they all came marching to the beating of the drums Down from the fields and factories they come Smiling at the girls who Came to see them on their way They were marching, marching, marching away Accrington Pals
Blue sky shining on a perfect day A lark was singing, high above the Somme Brothers, pals and fathers lay Watching that sweet bird sing in the quiet of the dawn And they all went walking out towards the howling guns Talking and laughing, calmly walking on Believing in the lies that Left them dying in the mud And they're lying, lying, lying still Accrington Pals
Smoky town which heard the news Down in the valley, smoky little streets Houses quiet and curtains drawn All round the town a silent shroud of grief And the larks were singing still above old Pendle Hill The wind was in the bracken and the sun was shining still A lark was singing sweetly as The evening fell upon the Somme...
For Edward Parkinson, Bobby Henderson, Willie Clegg, Johnny Molloy, Norman Jones, Albert Berry, Willie Riley The Accrington Pals

Like a sound you hear That lingers in your ear But you can't forget From sundown to sunset It's all in the air You hear it everywhere No matter what you do It's gonna get a hold on your It's California soul, California soul
They say the sun comes up every morning And if you listen carefully The winds that ride on the high time Whistle in melody And so the people started to sing And that's how the surf gave birth untold It's California soul, California soul
When you hear the beat You wanna pat your feet And you've got to move cause It's really such a groove Puts a brand new thing in your mind And you can't go wrong Cause you're happy all day long It's California soul, California soul
They had the melody and the beat But it still doesn't seem complete Until they saw two lovers kissin They knew just what was missin So happy they were rockin and reelin Because that added that lovin feeling To California soul, California soul Like a sound you hear That lingers in your ear
