Brand New Tennessee Waltz
Composer(s): Jesse Winchester
First release by: Jesse Winchester - 1970
Covered by multiple other artists



Oh you have such a pretty face
You favor a girl I once knew
I imagine that she's in Tennessee
Oh Lord I should be there too

But I left Tennessee in a hurry dear
The same way that I'm leaving you
For love is mainly just memories
And everyone's got them but few

It's a brand new Tennessee waltz
You're literally just waltzing on air
It's a brand new Tennessee waltz
With no telling who will be there

When I leave it'll be like I found you love
Descending victorian stairs
I'm feeling like one of your photographs
With not even you left to care

Have all your passionate violins play
A tune for a Tennessee kid
Who's feeling like leaving another town
With no place to go if he did

Can't Shake Loose
Composer(s): Russ Ballard
First release by: Agnetha Fältskog - 1983



I don't wanna stay here but I can't leave 
I'm in the spell of the magic you weave 
Somebody wake me up 
I wish I could break it up 
But I can't shake loose 
Can't shake loose 
I can't shake loose 
Can't shake loose 
Any move I'll make in the end I will loose 
I can't shake loose 
I try and I try but it ain't no use 
I could go like I did before 
But these old shoes keep walking to your door 

I wanna hide but when I hear you call 
If I turn around I know I will fall 
One step people shake 
No matter what move I make 

Cos' I can't shake loose 
Can't shake loose 
I can't shake loose 
Can't shake loose 
Any move I'll make in the end I will loose...... 
I don't wanna stay here 
But you know I can't leave 
Please let me go dear 
Please let me leave 

I can't shake loose 
I can't shake loose 
I can't shake loose 
Can't shake loose 
Any move I'll make in the end I will loose 
I can't shake loose 
I try and I try but it ain't no use 
I could go like I did before 
But these old shoes keep walking to your door 
I can't shake loose......

Fifteen Years Ago
Composer(s): Ray Smith
Performer(s): Conway Twitty; Daryle Singletary; 
The Statler Brothers; Billy Walker



I saw a man today who said he'd talked to you
Not so long ago I think a month or two
As my mind goes back in time I pray
Oh lord don't let it show
He thinks I forgot you fifteen years ago

Fifteen years ago and I still feel the same
Why did he have to mention your name
I'm as broken up inside as if it's been a week ago
It takes a mighty long time
To get a real love off your mind
I know I've tried since fifteen years ago

I've got a lovely wife who thinks the world of me
Promised her my love through all eternity
I've tried hard to make her happy
But so far she doesn't know
I can't shake this thing from fifteen years ago

Fifteen years ago and I still feel the same
Why did he have to mention your name
I'm as broken up inside as if it's been a week ago
It takes a mighty strong love
To keep a man thinking of a girl
He hasn't seen since fifteen years ago

It takes a mighty long time
To get a real love off your mind
I know I've tried since fifteen years ago

The Bragging Song 
(aka "I Was Born Ten Thousand Years Ago"; "I Was Born About Ten Thousand Years Ago"; "I Was Borned About Four Thousand Years Ago"; "The Liar")
(Traditional)
Performer(s): Kelly Harrell
and multiple other artists



I was born ten thousand years ago
And there's nothing in this world that I don't know
I saw Pater, Paul, and Moses playing ring around the roses
And I'll lick the guy that say it isn't so

I saw Satan when he looked the garden o'er
I saw Eve and Adam driven from the door
And behind the bushes peepin', saw the apple they were eatin'
And I swear that I'm the guy that ate the core

I saw Jonah when he was within the whale
And thought he'd never live to tell the tale
But old Jonah'd eaten garlic, and he gave the whale the colic
So he coughed him up and let him out of jail

I saw Israel in the battle of the Nile
The arrows were flying thick and fast and wild
I saw David with his sling pop Goliath on the wing
I was doing forty seconds to the mile

I saw Sampson when he laid the village cold
Saw Daniel tame the lions in their hold
I helped build the Tower of Babel up as high as they were able
And there's many other things I haven't told

I taught Soloman his little A-B-C's
I helped Brigham Young to make limberger cheese
And while sailing down the bay with Methusala one day
I saved his flowing whiskers from the breeze

Queen Elizabeth, she fell in love with me
We were married in Milwaukee secretly
But I schemed around and shook her, then she went with General Hooker
To shoot mosquitoes down in Tenessee

I remember when the country had a king
I saw Cleopatra pawn her wedding ring
And I saw th flags a'flyin' when George Washington stopped lyin'
On the night when Patty first begin to sing

So, you see I am an educated man
To keep my brains in my head I plan
Cause I been on earth so long, that I use to sing a song
While Abraham and Issac played the band

I was born ten thousand years ago
And there's nothing in this world that I don't know
I saw Peter, Paul and Moses playing ring-around-the-roses
And I can lick the guy that says it is'nt so

Can't Set Rules About Love
Composer(s): Adam Ant - Marco Pirroni
Performer(s): Adam & the Ants



I feel suspended in space
In another time and place
To talk would burst the bubble
Just want to lie next to you
And appreciate the view
And hope it lasts forever

We do not have to play games
Or listen to all the names
They have for Russian roulette
If it's good enough for the gemini guys
Then it's good enough for me

You can't set rules about love
You can't set rules about love

So the I becomes we
We make our own chemistry
To move is too much trouble
I hope we won't separate
Return to our normal state
As long as we're together

So if it's yes or it's no
Chime time says the radio
Why don't you kiss me deadly
If and when you slip away
Just don't let me hear you say
Good morning and goodbye

Revolution -- the fourth and final part
Revolution -- afterplay with my heart

Fields Of Regret
Composer(s): Alice Cooper
Performer(s): Alice Cooper



Forever I'll enjoy you undertaking
Come to see you every day now if I can
Is it not the time for everybody
I still wake on the fields of regret

There is something to this dream we're all involved in
Can I see it?  Can I say it may exist?
Why then don't the night show really matters
If we dwell in the fields of regret

What horror must invade the mind
When the approaching judge shall find
Sinful Deeds from all mankind

With death and nature in surprise
Behold the wretched sinners rise
To meet the judge's searching eyes

And when the doomed no more can flee
From the flames of misery
Assist me while I die

Wander through those ever thoughts though if imagined
But come down on it's so easy to resist
Rest me, hide my years upon the planet
Sound another, no part over, won't forget
When we laugh at the fields of regret

The Brady Bunch 
Composer(s): Frank DeVol - Sherwood Schwartz



Here's the story of a lovely lady 
Who was bringing up three very lovely girls
All of them had hair of gold, like their mother
The youngest one in curls

Here's the story, of a man named Brady
Who was busy with three boys of his own
They were four men, living all together 
Yet they were all alone

Till the one day when the lady met this fellow 
And they knew it was much more than a hunch
That this group would somehow form a family 
That's the way we all became the Brady Bunch 
The Brady Bunch 
That's the way we all became the Brady Bunch 
The Brady Bunch

Can't Say Goodbye
Composer(s): Bobby Caldwell - George "Chocolate" Perry
Performer(s): Bobby Caldwell



Ever since the day we met
I knew that I would not regret
I could never leave you for another
But you treat me like a fool
I can't keep on being cool
Now I need some time just to recover
With a ticket to a distant place
I could leave you far behind
Your love has put me into outer space
I'm about to lose my mind
There are things about you
I will never understand
And although our love
Is not exactly what I planned
It was meant to be
Darling can't you see
You and I just can't say goodbye
Till the day I die
I will love you
Maybe it would be worthwhile
If I could make you change your style
Darling you would never have that notion
You would have to rearrange
The things that you would never change
Tell me why you play with my emotions
If you see confusionon my face
Well, it's just my state of mind

Fields Of People
Composer(s): Wyatt Day; Jon Pierson
Performer(s): The Move; Ars Nova



Wildflowers grow everywhere
Vibrations flow, things will have to change
(Good evening, madam. It's a recording. Yes.)
Strange new ideas fill the air
Some people leave, others grieve
Some were bare but things will change
Old concepts go, new ones grow
All at once the world begins to love again
(..... Hello Uncle Bill)
And the wildflowers grow out of fields
Fields of people
There's no such thing as a weed
Seeds of hatred
Plant them and soon they will breed
(Going to the pub, are you? Evening madam.)
Wildflowers grow everywhere
Love of people
There's no such thing as a weed
Seeds of hatred
Plant them and soon they will breed
Fields of people
There's no such thing as a weed
Seeds of hatred
Plant them and soon they will feed
Wildflowers grow everywhere
(There's a bloke out here looking for the band)
Fields of people
Fields of people
Fields of people
(Here we are now in Great Portland Street. Ah, good evening sir, 
I wonder would you like to come over here and say a few words in the microphone. 
Oh. It catches one a bit off balance suddenly to be interrupted in the street. 
I got one. Hello, I don't wanna taxi. What I want is this. You're a taxi driver, 
and we wanna taxi driver's opinion on pop music.
I think it's very good mate. Just cause I gettin' a bit ancient 
don't mean to say I don't enjoy it.
Good. Toot your organ and we'll be away.)
(Hold it. One more time, it's a bit ragged. Try one more. Here we go.)

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

The boys are back in town

Can't Let Go
Composer(s): Maurice White - Bill Myers - Allee Willis
Performer(s): Earth, Wind & Fire



Love that is born in truth
All the doubt removed
Lover's eyes are blessed
Only sees the best

I can't let go
Off a love that grows
You're my woman, baby love
You know I love you, so

Empty hearts are free
Bring your love to me
Soul chase the moon
Shadows hug the room

Turn off the light
Sneak in bed at night
Darkness shut its eyes
Baby, I open mine to you

I can't let go
Off a love that grows
You know I love you, so
Can't let go
You know I love you, so

I can't let go
Off a love that grows
You're my woman, baby love
You know I love you, so

I love you, so, I
I love you, oh

I can't let go
Off a love that grows
You're my woman, baby love
You know I love you, so

I can't let go
Off a love that grows
You're my woman, baby love
You know I love you, so

I can't let go
Off a love that grows
You're my woman, baby love
You know I love you, so

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...

Can't Hide Your Love
Composer(s): Jeffrey Cohen - Herbie Hancock - Narada Michael Walden
Performer(s): Herbie Hancock



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

You can´t hide your love away from me
It´s your destiny, don´t you see
You can´t hide your love away from me
You´re a part of me, gotta be

You say you´re on the run, well so am I
You´re not the only one who´s ever tried
If your heart leads the way, there´s on reason to pretend
I got my mind made up, I´ll get you in the end

You can´t hide your love away from me
It´s your destiny, don´t you see
You can´t hide your love away from me
You´re a part of me, gotta be

Baby when you´re close to me
I am lost in my fantasy
Oh my love, when you touch me, burn me
I feel the fire...I feel the fire

You can´t hide your love away from me
It´s your destiny, don´t you see
You can´t hide your love away from me
You´re a part of me, gotta be

Fields Of Fire

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"

First release by: Helen Morgan - 1927
Covered by multiple other artists



Oh listen, sister
I love my mister man and I can't tell you why
Dere ain't no reason why I should love dat man
It must be sumpin' dat de angels done plan
De chimbley's smokin'
De roof is leakin' in
But he don't seem to care
He can be happy
With jes' a sip of gin
I even loves him when his kisses got gin

Fish got to swim and birds got to fly
I got to love one man till I die
Can't help lovin' that man of mine

Tell me he's lazy
Tell me he's slow
Tell me I'm crazy, maybe, I know
Can't help lovin' that man of mine

When he goes away
Dat's a rainy day
And when he comes back dat day is fine
The sun will shine

He can come home as late as can be
Home without him ain't no home to me
Can't help lovin' that man of mine

He can come home as late as can be
Home without him ain't no home to me
Can't help lovin' that man the way I do
Oh Can't help lovin' that man of mine
