The Boys Of Summer Composer(s): Mike Campbell - Don Henley First release by: Don Henley - 1984 Covered by multiple other artists
Nobody on the road Nobody on the beach I feel it in the air The summer's out of reach Empty lake, empty streets The sun goes down alone I'm drivin' by your house Though I know you're not at home
But I can see you Your brown skin shinin' in the sun You got your hair combed back and your sunglasses on, baby And I can tell you my love for you will still be strong After the boys of summer have gone
I never will forget those nights I wonder if it was a dream Remember how you made me crazy? Remember how I made you scream Now I don't understand what happened to our love But babe, I'm gonna get you back I'm gonna show you what I'm made of
I can see you Your brown skin shinin' in the sun I see you walkin' real slow and you're smilin' at everyone I can tell you my love for you will still be strong After the boys of summer have gone
Out on the road today, I saw a Deadhead sticker on a Cadillac A little voice inside my head said, "Don't look back You can never look back" I thought I knew what love was What did I know? Those days are gone forever I should just let them go but
I can see you Your brown skin shinin' in the sun You got that top pulled down and that radio on, baby And I can tell you my love for you will still be strong After the boys of summer have gone
I can see you Your brown skin shinin' in the sun You got that hair slicked back and those Wayfarers on, baby I can tell you my love for you will still be strong After the boys of summer have gone
Can't Run But Composer(s): Paul Simon Performer(s): Paul Simon
I can't run but I can walk much faster than this Can't run but I can't run but I can walk much faster than this Can't run but
A cooling system Burns out in the Ukraine Trees and umbrellas Protect us from the new rain Armies of engineers To analyze the soil The food we contemplate The water that we boil
I can't run but I can walk much faster than this Can't run but I can't run but I can walk much faster than this Can't run but Oo-we Oo-we
I had a dream about us In the bottles and the bones of the night I felt a pain in my shoulder blade Like a pencil point? A love bite? A couple was rubbing against us Rubbing and doing that new dance The man was wearing a jacket and jeans The woman was laughing in advance
I can't run but I can walk much faster than this Can't run but I can't run but I can walk much faster than this Can't run but
A winding river Gets wound around a heart Pull it Tighter and tighter Until the muddy waters part Down by the river bank A blues band arrives The music suffers The music business thrives
I can't run but I can walk much faster than this Can't run but I can't run but I can walk much faster than this Can't run but Oo-we Oo-we
Fields Of Gold Composer(s): Sting Performer(s): Sting; and various other artists
You'll remember me when the west wind moves Upon the fields of barley You'll forget the sun in his jealous sky As we walk in the fields of gold
So she took her love For to gaze awhile Upon the fields of barley In his arms she fell as her hair came down Among the fields of gold
Will you stay with me, will you be my love Among the fields of barley We'll forget the sun in his jealous sky As we lie in the fields of gold
See the west wind move like a lover so Upon the fields of barley Feel her body rise when you kiss her mouth Among the fields of gold I never made promises lightly And there have been some that I've broken But I swear in the days still left We'll walk in the fields of gold We'll walk in the fields of gold
Many years have passed since those summer days Among the fields of barley See the children run as the sun goes down Among the fields of gold You'll remember me when the west wind moves Upon the fields of barley You can tell the sun in his jealous sky When we walked in the fields of gold When we walked in the fields of gold When we walked in the fields of gold
The Boys Are Back In Town Composer(s): Phil Lynott First release by: Thin Lizzy - 1976 Covered by multiple other artists
Guess who just got back today? Those wild-eyed boys that had been away Haven't changed, haven't much to say But man, I still think those cats are great
They were asking if you were around How you was, where you could be found I told them you were living downtown Driving all the old men crazy
The boys are back in town
You know the chick that used to dance a lot Every night she'd be on the floor shaking what she'd got Man when I tell you she was cool, she was red hot I mean she was steaming
That night over at Johnny's place Well this chick got up and she slapped Johnny's face Man we just fell about the place If that chick don't want to know, forget her
Friday night they'll be dressed to kill Down at Dino's bar and grill The drink will flow and blood will spill If the boys want to fight, you'd better let them
That jukebox in the corner blasting out my favorite song The nights are getting warmer, it won't be long It won't be long till summer comes Now that the boys are here again
Fields Of France Composer(s): Al Stewart Performer(s): Al Stewart
His flying jacket still has her perfume Memories of the night Play across his mind High above the fields of France
A single biplane in a clear blue sky 1917, no enemy was seen High above the fields of France
Oh she looks But there's nothing to see Still she looks Saying "Come back to me"
He tells her "Just remember me this way Here am I more true Than anything I do High above the fields of France"
Oh she looks Though he'll never come back And the letter that came Was bordered in black
She'll find somebody else But not forget Leaving her regrets Like vapour trails of jets High above the fields of France High above the fields of France
The Boy With The Beatle Hair Composer(s): Kenneth Gamble - William Jackson - Joe Renzetti - Jerry J. Ross Performer(s): The Swans
Oh, look at that boy over there The one with the Beatle hair I wish that he would come and dance with me I see him ev'rywhere The boy with the Beatle hair I wish that he would come and talk to me
The boy with the Beatle hair ???? next to me in school All the girls adore him, they think he's really cool If he looked my way, I know just what I'd say Be mine forever, forever
Oh, look at that boy over there The one with the Beatle hair I wish that he would come and dance with me I see him ev'rywhere The boy with the Beatle hair I wish that he would come and talk to me
Oh, look at that boy over there The one with the Beatle hair I wish that he would come and dance with me
Could this be the day, boy, it's really lookin' fine He's so sweet and gentle, I gotta make him mine Gotta tell him right away what's in my heart today We belong together, together
Oh, look at that boy over there The one with the Beatle hair I wish that he would come and dance with me I see him ev'rywhere The boy with the Beatle hair...

No matter where you go, I´m right behind There ain´t a secret place that I can´t find If you look in your heart of hearts, you´ll find me there I´ve been there from the start and I ain´t goin´ nowhere

Fields Of Fire Composer(s): Richard Feldman; Midge Ure Performer(s): Midge Ure
If I could make a wish I think I'd pass Can't think of anything I need No cigarettes, no sleep, no light, no sound Nothing to eat no books to read Making love with you, has left me peaceful warm inside What more could I ask There's nothing left to be desired Sometimes all I need is the air that I breathe and to love you All I need is the air that I breathe yes to love you Just to have you now All I need is the air that I breathe you're all I want Peace came upon me and it breathes in me Don't sleep silent angel don't you sleep
The Boy Who Came Back Composer(s): Marc Almond Performer(s): Marc Almond & the Willing Sinners
He woke to the sound of the birds in the morning Felt charged with a new lease of life Time to break out of his present surroundings A mother, a child and a wife He'd not said good-bye to his last thread of childhood It lay just beyond his front gate So he packed just a few things And he packed in his job And he prayed he'd not left it too late
He turned and he said "Well we always have time Time on our side And there's time for this boy to turn back"
Joy held his heart As he took to the road Cast all his sorrow To the breeze Knew in his heart It was the right thing to do For he had to search out His belief Spring came and fall went The year ran away Love, hate and heartache ran too Felt himself drift Into memories of home And the loneliness he lived on through
He turned and he said "Well we always have time Time on our side And there's time for this boy to turn back"
And he'd learnt about life But he'd lost out on love He was no longer only a boy There were lines on his face From the sun and the wind But no lines there through Laughter or joy
Shoes full of holes But with fire in his soul He walked down the dirt beaten track Mother was gone But his wife and child were living on And they cried "It's the boy who came back" Goodbye through the evening Goodbye through the night Goodbye through the dreams Through the sleep Goodbye to our yesterdays Hello tomorrow It seems we were destined to meet
He turned and he said "Well we always have time Time on our side And there's time for this boy to turn back"

Fields Of Clover Composer(s): Dan Penn; Spooner Oldham Performer(s): The Box Tops
You're walking in fields of clover I hear you finally made it to the classy side of town It made me sad, got to feeling bad, until I thought it over And now I'm all right, because you're all right Baby, baby, I know you're sleeping warm tonight
You crossed the tracks in a hurry Yes you did You didn't even stop, to tell me goodbye, yeah But them pretty dresses that you're wearing, baby Are payment enough You're sure looking tough I always told you, ah, that you had the stuff Yeah, yeah

The Boy Next Door Composer(s): Hugh Martin - Ralph Blane Performer(s): Judy Garland
The moment I saw him smile I knew he was just my style My only regret is we've never met Though I dream of him all the while
But he doesn't know I exist No matter how I may persist So it's clear to see there's no hope for me Though I live at fifty-one-thirty-five Kensington Avenue And he lives at fifty-one-thirty-three
How can I ignore the boy next door I love him more than I can say Doesn't try to please me Doesn't even tease me And he never sees me glance his way
And though I'm heart-sore, the boy next door Affection for me won't display I just adore him So I can't ignore him The boy next door
I just adore him So I can't ignore him The boy next door

Wise men say, only fools rush in But I can't help falling in love with you Shall I stay, would it be a sin If I can't help falling in love with you
Like a river flows surely to the sea Darling so it goes Some things are meant to be
Take my hand, take my whole life too For I can't help falling in love with you For I can't help falling in love with you
Take my hand, take my whole life too For I can't help falling in love with you For I can't help falling in love with you
Fiel Composer(s): Pedro Ruíz; Miguel Gallardo Performer(s): Miguel Gallardo
Es fiel, quien camina sin temor fiel, fiel, quien no cambia de color en la gloria o el dolor, fiel Fiel, fiel, como es el río al mar fiel, fiel, como el viento al vendaval quiero ser, quiero ser Fiel a un dios, a un color a mi libertad, a mi amor a mis inquietudes seré fiel Fiel, fiel, al que entienda mi verdad fiel, fiel, a quien yo de mi amistad quiero ser, quiero ser Fiel a un dios, a un candor a mi juventud, al valor a mis inquietudes seré fiel Fiel a un dios, a un color a mi libertad, a mi amor a mis inquietudes seré fiel Seré fiel
The Boy In The Bubble Composer(s): Paul Simon - Forere Motloheloa First release by: Paul Simon - 1986 Covered by multiple other artists
It was a slow day And the sun was beating On the soldiers by the side of the road There was a bright light A shattering of shop windows The bomb in the baby carriage Was wired to the radio These are the days of miracle and wonder This is the long distance call The way the camera follows us in slo-mo The way we look to us all The way we look to a distant constellation That's dying in a corner of the sky These are the days of miracle and wonder And don't cry baby, don't cry Don't cry
It was a dry wind And it swept across the desert And it curled into the circle of birth And the dead sand Falling on the children The mothers and the fathers And the automatic earth These are the days of miracle and wonder This is the long distance call The way the camera follows us in slo-mo The way we look to us all The way we look to a distant constellation That's dying in a corner of the sky These are the days of miracle and wonder And don't cry baby, don't cry Don't cry
It's a turn-around jump shot It's everybody jump start It's every generation throws a hero up the pop charts Medicine is magical and magical is art, think of The Boy in the Bubble And the baby with the baboon heart
And I believe These are the days of lasers in the jungle Lasers in the jungle somewhere Staccato signals of constant information A loose affiliation of millionaires And billionaires and baby These are the days of miracle and wonder This is the long distance call The way the camera follows us in slo-mo The way we look to us all The way we look to a distant constellation That's dying in a corner of the sky These are the days of miracle and wonder And don't cry baby, don't cry Don't cry
Can't Go On
Composer(s): David Coverdale - Adrian Vandenberg
Performer(s): Whitesnake
Ive been feeling sentimental In a melancholy way Blues siting on my shoulder Getting heavier every day...
Staring into space One thing on my mind Ive been trying to drown The thought of you By drinking too much wine...
Then my imagination Starts running wild I snap my fingers And youre there by my side...
Cant go on without your love Theres no song without your love... Aint no reason, aint no rhyme Without your love Ill go out of my mind...
Been getting too lazy Letting myself go Feeling like a refugee No one cares for anymore... Endless lonely days I just try to get through And theres no escape Even when I sleep cause all I dream is you...
Then my imagination Gets the better of me cause youre everywhere I go In everything I see...
I cant go on without you love Theres no song without your love... There aint no reason, there aint no rhyme Without your love Ill go out of my mind...
You make me dance You make me sing When Im with you I can do anything... When Im cold You keep me warm. And give me shelter From the howling storm...
There aint no reason, there aint no rhyme Without your love Ill go out of my mind...
Cant go on without your love Theres no song without your love...
Fiddle Around Composer(s): Larry Kusik; Clint Ballard Jr. Performer(s): Jan & Dean
Wo wo wo fiddle around, fiddle around They would fiddle around and around
all over the town
Do you remember Judy? Her eyes were big and blue Her kisses were so tender and warm But her heart was so untrue She used to fiddle around, fiddle around She would fiddle around and around all over the town
Susie, she'd be faithful Kathy gave me her heart But they would start a-cheatin' on me Each time we were apart Oh they would fiddle around, fiddle around They would fiddle around and around all over the town
Well, I've had lots of girlfriends When all is said and done Baby, you're the only girl for me 'Cause you're the only one Who doesn't fiddle around, fiddle around You don't fiddle around and around all over the town You don't fiddle around and around all over the town

He's kinda tall, he's really fine Someday I hope to make him mine all mine And he's neat, and oh so sweet And just the way he looked at me swept me off my feet Oo-oo-weee, you ought to come and see How he walks, and how he talks
He's really down, and he's no clown He has the finest penthouse I've ever seen in town And he's cute, in his mohair suit And he keeps his pockets full of spending loot Oo-oo-wee, you ought to come and see His pretty bar, and his brand new car
Every time he says he loves me Chills run down my spine Every time he wants to kiss me Oo, he makes me feel so fi-i-ine (Oo-wah oo-wah...)
He can dance, and make romance And that's when I fell in love with just one glance He was shy, and so was I And now I know we'll never ever say goodbye Oo-oo-wee, you ought to come and see He's the most, from coast to coast
