    The Journey
    Composer(s): Rick Wakeman
    Performer(s): Rick Wakeman



    By horse, by rail, by land, by sea, our journey starts
    Two men incensed by one man's journey from the past
    In Iceland, where the mountain stood with pride
    They set off with their guide
    To reach the mountain side

    Roped as one for safety through the long descent
    Into the crater of volcanic rock they went
    Look up from our telescopic laair
    One star for us to share
    We continue on our prayer

    Crystals of opaque quartz, studded limpid tears
    Forming magic chandeliers, lighting blistered galleries

    Chains, my baby's got me locked up in chains
    And they ain't the kind that you can see
    Whoa, oh, these chains of love got a hold on me, yeah
    Chains, well I can't break away from these chains
    Can't run around, 'cause I'm not free
    Whoa, oh, these chains of love won't let me be, yeah
    I wanna tell you, pretty baby
    I think you're fine
    I'd like to love you
    But, darlin', I'm imprisoned by these...
    Chains, my baby's got me locked up in chains
    And they ain't the kind that you can see
    Oh, oh, these chains of love got a hold on me
    Please believe me when I tell you
    Your lips are sweet
    I'd like to kiss them
    But I can't break away from all of these...
    Chains, my baby's got me locked up in chains
    And they ain't the kind that you can see

    Thee I love, more than the meadows so green and still
    More than the mulberries on the hill

    Arms have I, strong as the oak for this occasion
    Lips have I to kiss thee too, in friendly persuasion

    Thee is mine, though I don't know many words of praise
    Thee pleasures me in a hundred ways
    Put on your bonnet, your cape and your glove
    And come with me, for thee I love

    Friendly persuasion
    Thee is mine, though I don't know many words of praise
    Thee pleasures me in a hundred ways
    Put on your bonnet, your cape, and your glove
    And come with me, for thee I love

    The Jones Boy
    Composer(s): Vic Mizzy - Mann Curtis
    Performer(s): The Mills Bros.



    The whole town's talking about the Jones Boy
    The Jones Boy
    The Jones Boy
    The whole town's talking about the Jones Boy
    He acts mighty peculiar now

    The whole town's saying he was a good boy
    a nice boy
    a swell boy
    The whole town's saying he's not a well boy
    He just isn't the same somehow

    he hops
    he jumps
    so merrily over the water pumps
    he stops and then
    he comes to a pump and he'll jump again

    the buzz is over the fences
    that he's going out of his senses

    The whole town's talking about the Jones boy
    the poor boy
    the Jones boy

    But I just happen to be the Jones boy
    and I happen to be in love

    Chained To A Memory Composer(s): Jenny Carson Performer(s): Eddy Arnold and multiple other artists



    Makes no difference that we two are far apart, Dear
    I could never, ever love somebody new
    For there isn't any room inside my heart, Dear
    While I'm chained to a memory of you

    If the world should end tomorrow, I'd be satisfied
    You're gone and there is nothing I can do
    But I'll never tell another that our love would die
    While I'm chained to a memory of you

    Maybe time will wear the links away and then, Dear
    They'll break and set me free to love anew
    But I'll never care for someone else again, Dear
    While I'm chained to a memory of you

    If the world should end tommorrow, I'd be satisfied
    You're gone and there is nothing I can do
    All my precious dreams and hopes of yesterday have died
    Yet I'm chained to a memory of you

    Friendly Advice
    Composer(s): Tommy Shaw
    Performer(s): Tommy Shaw



    My suitcase is packed
    It's sitting by the door
    I've gone over all the facts
    I can't take them any more

    But every time my feet hit the street
    My head starts aching and
    My knees get week
    I turn back around I let myself in
    I feel like a dog
    No matter what I come back again

    My friends all try to give me friendly advice
    They all agree I shouldn't be so nice
    Women really like it when you push them around
    But it's not me

    So here I go again
    Ignoring all the signs
    It doesn't take a scientist
    To read between the lines

    But right about the time
    I'm sure I've had enough
    I've decided to call it quits and I'm
    Ready to get tough
    You turn it on with those
    Those big brown eyes
    The next thing you know
    I'm out buying long-stem roses

    I'm like my daddy
    Old-fashioned
    I don't know what to do

    I'm a creature of habit
    I don't know what else to do

    It's like a game
    That's been rigged
    So nobody wins

    The Jolly Tar And The Milkmaid
    Composer(s): George Gershwin - Ira Gershwin
    Performer(s): Fred Astaire, Jan Duggan, Mary Dean, Betty Rone, Jack George, Pearl Amatore & Chorus



    There was a jolly British tar
    Who met a milkmaid bonny
    He said, "How beautiful you are"
    With a hey and a nonny
    With a hey and a nonny

    "Such golden hair I ne'er did see
    With lips to shame the cherry
    Oh, buxom milkmaid marry me!"
    With a down-a-derry
    With a down-a-down-a-derry

    "Our hearts could rhyme," said she
    "'Tis flattered I'm," said she
    "But oh, ah me, you see, you see
    You see, you see, I happen to be
    I happen to be the mother of three
    A wife already and mother of three
    Of three, of three, of three, of three, of three
    The mother of three!"

    The jolly tar he laughed a laugh
    "'Tis for the best, my bonny
    That you won't be my better half"
    With a hey and a nonny
    With a hey and a nonny

    "I near forgot on seeing you
    That I've a wife in Kerry
    In Spain and also Timbuktu"
    With a down-a-derry
    With a down-a-down-a-derry

    "You've got me thinking twice
    Goodbye to shoes and rice
    For oh, ah me, just now you see
    Just now you see I happen to be
    I happen to be the husband of three
    A-spliced already and husband of three
    Of three, of three, of three, of three, of three
    The husband of three!"

    Chained To A Memory Composer(s): Richard Ahlert - Kay Rogers First release by: Betty Everett - 1974 Covered by multiple other artists



    Why am I chained to a memory?
    Why does the thought of you still torture me?
    When will I find someone to set me free?
    So I won't be chained to a memory, mmm

    Why am I chained to the hurt I knew?
    Each day the thought of something so cruel to do
    Where in this world will I escape from you?
    So I won't be chained to a memory

    Your letters threw them on the fire
    Your pictures out the window
    All that I could find that reminded me of you
    I threw them all away

    I get up in the morning
    I'm pacing the floor
    Like I'm expecting you to walk in the door
    I keep forgetting I won't see you anymore
    Guess I'm doomed to be chained to a memory

    Oh, yes I am
    I get up in the morning
    I'm pacing the floor
    Like I'm expecting you to walk in the door
    I keep forgetting I won't see you anymore
    Guess I'm doomed to be chained to a memory
    Yes I am

    In duh valley of duh jolly... (Ho - ho - ho)

    Heard about the Jolly Green Giant (potatoes)
    He's so big and mean (artichoke hearts)
    He stands there laughin' with his hands on his hips
    And then he hits you with a can of beans

    He lives down there in his valley (Brussels sprouts)
    The cat stands tall and green (spinach)
    Well, he ain't no prize, and there's no women his size
    And that's why the cat's so mean
    One day he left His valley pad
    I mean to say This cat was mad
    Now listen 'round He wasn't gone long
    And then he ran into an Amazon
    Well, this changed his whole complexion (broccoli)
    He had never seen such a beautiful sight (corn)
    Well, he looked at her
    And she looked at him
    And she almost passed out from fright
    He looked at her Thought, "what a dilly"
    He touched her once She slapped him silly
    This was something He had never sensed
    He looked at her As she commenced
    Now listen, pal This ain't no fluke
    I can't see goin' with a big green kook"

    You've heard about the Jolly Green Giant (eggplant)
    Don't let his troubles cross your mind (celery stalks)
    He couldn't get Sally, so went back to his valley
    The cat was color-blind...

    Darling now, you made me change my mind
    Can go no further, because you got me chained and bound, oh
    Taller than the tallest sky
    Sweeter than a grape on a vine, now
    Can go no further, because you got me chained and bound, right now, now

    Oh, I don't have to worry no more
    Oh my my my

    What kind of life is this kind I'm trying living
    Oh Lord, what kind of love is she trying to give me
    I feel like I'm standing up and telling the word
    I'm chained to your love

    Darling, oh
    Don't break this little heart of mine
    There's no greater love than this love of yours and mine, oh
    You walk with your head in the sky

    I lit out from Reno
    I was trailed by twenty hounds
    Didn't get to sleep that night
    Till the morning came around

    I set out running but I take my time
    A friend of the Devil is a friend of mine
    If I get home before daylight
    I might get some sleep tonight

    I ran into the Devil, babe
    He loaned me twenty bills
    I spent that night in Utah
    In a cave up in the hills

    I set out running but I take my time
    A friend of the devil is a friend of mine
    If I get home before daylight
    I might get some sleep tonight

    I ran down to the levee
    But the Devil caught me there
    He took my twenty dollar bill
    And he vanished in the air

    I set out running but I take my time
    A friend of the Devil is a friend of mine
    If I get home before daylight
    I might get some sleep tonight

    Got two reasons why I cry
    away each lonely night
    First one's named sweet Anne Marie
    and she's my heart's delight
    Second one is prison, baby
    the sheriff's on my trail
    If he catches up with me
    I'll spend my life in jail

    Got a wife in Chino, babe
    And one in Cherokee
    First one says she's got my child
    But it don't look like me

    I set out running but I take my time
    A friend of the Devil is a friend of mine
    If I get home before daylight
    I might get some sleep tonight

    Chain Reaction Composer(s): Robin Gibb - Barry Gibb - Maurice Gibb First release by: Diana Ross - 1985



    You took a mystery and made me want it
    You got a pedestal and put me on it
    You made me love you out of feeling nothing
    Something that you do
    And I was there and not dancing with anyone
    You took a little, then you took me over
    You set your mark on stealing my heart away
    Crying, trying, anything for you

    I’m in the middle of a chain reaction
    You give me all the after midnight action
    I wanna get you where I can let you make all that love to me
    I’m on a journey for the inspiration
    To anywhere and there ain’t no salvation
    I need you to get me nearer to you
    So you can set me free
    We talk about love, love, love
    We talk about love
    We talk about love, love, love
    We talk about love

    You make me tremble when your hand moves lower
    You taste a little then you swollow slower
    Nature has a way of yielding treasure
    Pleasure made for you, oh
    You gotta plan, your future is on the run
    Shine a light for the whole world over
    You never find your love if you hide away
    Crying, dying, all you gotta do is

    Get in the middle of a chain reaction
    You get a medal when you’re lost in action
    I wanna get your love all ready for the sweet sensation
    Instant radiation
    You let me hold you for the first explosion
    We get a picture of our love in motion
    My arms will cover, my lips will smother you
    With no more left to say
    We talk about love, love, love
    We talk about love
    You let me hold you for the first explosion
    Arms will cover you

    All you gotta do is get in the middle of a chain reaction
    You get a medal when you’re lost in action
    Don’t pass me by
    I wanna get your love all ready for the chain reaction ...

    But master you in luck 'cause up your sleeves
    You got a brand of magic never fails
    You got some power in your corner now
    Some heavy ammunition in your camp
    You got some punch, pizzazz, yahoo and how
    See all you gotta do is rub that lamp
    And I'll say

    Mister Aladdin, sir
    What will your pleasure be?
    Let me take your order
    Jot it down
    You ain't never had a friend like me
    No no no

    And I'm your maitre d'

    Yes sir, we pride ourselves on service
    You're the boss

    Say what you wish
    It's yours! True dish
    How about a little more Baklava?

    Have some of column "A"
    Try all of column "B"
    I'm in the mood to help you dude
    You ain't never had a friend like me

    Can your friends do this?
    Do your friends do that?
    Do your friends pull this out their little hat?
    Can your friends go, poof?
    Well, looky here
    Can your friends go, Abracadabra, let 'er rip
    And then make the sucker disappear?

    So doncha sit there slack jawed, buggy eyed
    I'm here to answer all your midday prayers
    You got me bona fide, certified
    You got a genie for your chare d'affaires
    I got a powerful urge to help you out
    So what-cha wish? I really wanna know
    You got a list that's three miles long, no doubt
    Well, all you gotta do is rub like so - and oh

    Mister Aladdin, sir, have a wish or two or three
    I'm on the job, you big nabob
    You ain't never had a friend, never had a friend
    You ain't never had a friend, never had a friend
    You ain't never had a friend like me
    You ain't never had a friend like me, hah!

    De Roker
    ((Adapted from: The Joker (Steve Miller Band) - 1973))
    Composer(s): Steve Miller - Ahmet Ertegun - Eddie Curtis - Patrick De Witte
    Performer(s): Pieter-Jan De Smet - 2003



    We mochten al niet meer op het vliegtuig
    Nu mag het niet meer op de trein
    Maar ik vrees dat uw klantenkring verkleint

    Roken is strikt verboden, baby
    Ook in het restaurant
    Dus, kleef pleisters, kleef pleisters
    Anders blijft u maar thuis

    Ik ben een roker, tabakstoker
    Ik heb een mooie sigarenkoker
    Mon brique est galvanisé

    Ik ben een blower, en ik wou er
    net één dicht gaan vouwen
    Stiekem op de mannenplee

    Roken is fataal, het leidt alleen naar de dood
    Niet-rokers sterven ook wel, maar (dan) met longen schoon
    Nicotine, nicotine, nicotine, 'k stop ermee
    Vaarwel Rizla, en Semois grove snee

    Chain Of Fools ((Italian Version: Ciao Ciao Ciao (Rocky Roberts & I Pirañas) - 1967)) Composer(s): Don Covay First release by: Aretha Franklin - 1967 Covered by multiple other artists



    Chain, chain, chain (chain, chain, chain)
    Chain, chain, chain (chain, chain, chain)
    Chain, chain, chain (chain, chain, chain)
    Chain of fools

    For five long years I thought you were my man
    But I found out I'm just a link in your chain.
    You got me where you want me
    I ain't nothin' but your fool
    You treated me mean
    Ooh, you treated me cruel

    Chain, chain, chain (chain, chain, chain)
    Chain of fools

    Every chain has got a weak link
    And I might be weak, child
    But I'll give you strength

    You told me to leave you alone
    My father said, "Come on home"
    My doctor said, "Take it easy"
    But your lovin' is much too strong
    I'm welded to your...

    Chain, chain, chain (chain, chain, chain)
    Chain of fools
    Chain, chain, chain (chain, chain, chain)
    Chain of fools

    One of these mornings the chain is gonna break
    But up until then I'm gonna take all I can take

    (repeat):
    Chain, chain, chain (chain, chain, chain)
    Chain of fools
    Chain, chain, chain (chain, chain, chain)
    Chain of fools

    Friend And A Lover
    Composer(s): Wes Farrell; Danny Janssen; Bobby Hart
    Performer(s): David Cassidy & The Partridge Family



    Na na na na na, na na na na na, na na na na na
    Na na na na na na na, na na na na na, na na na na na
    Na na na na na, na na na na na na na

    Caught in a dead end, you took the wrong bend
    To you I'm your friend, but I wanna be your lover
    Caught in a hurricane, out in the cold rain
    Couldn't make it much plainer, but you
    Still can't discover that I wanna be your lover

    Na na na na na, na na na na na, na na na na na
    Na na na, na na na na, na na na na na
    Na na na na na na na

    Night and day, day and night, night and day and night
    Whoa! I need you by my side
    Inside, outside, upside down
    Ev'rything is turned around without you

    Up on a tight rope, below is no hope
    'Cause I'm only a friend and I wanna be your lover
    Caught in a landslide, feel like it's low tide
    Well I swallowed my pride, but you
    Still can't discover that I wanna be your lover

    Na na na na na, na na na na na, na na na na na
    Na na na, na na na na, na na na na na
    Na na na na na, na na na na na na na na
    Na na na na na na na na na, na na na na na
    Na na na na na, na na na, na na na na

    The Jogger
    Composer(s): Shel Silverstein
    Performer(s): Bobby Bare



    Well, I’ve been a trucker now for 20 years
    from the Charleston coast to the Jersey piers
    An’ sharin’ the road with the race car nuts and loggers
    Sunday drivers, scouts on hikes
    Hells Angels on Harley bikes
    I never met a roader I didn’t like, 'cept them joggers…

    One day I’m rollin’ down 101, I got 18 wheels and a 14-ton
    Radio playin’ a good ol’ country rocker
    The day was surely a trucker’s dream
    the sky was sunny and the air was clean
    When up ahead on the road I seen one of them joggers

    He was dressed like they do in baby blue
    with shortie shorts and a headband too
    I yelled "Sweetie, I bet that you are the hit of the men’s room locker
    Well I’m a runnin’ late with an overload
    so get your Adidas off a this road
    I’m L.A. bound and I don’t slow down for dead raccoons or joggers"

    "Well without breakin’ stride or losin' poise"
    he said "You and that rig sure make some noise
    But I can’t talk now, ‘cause I’m racin’ against the clocker
    But it’s just nine miles to Forkers Leap
    and if you ain’t afraid to race that heap
    We’ll see how that ol’ rig holds up against a super jogger"

    Race, I must be hearin’ wrong
    the boy’s been runnin’ in the sun too long
    The only place he’s a racin’ to is a doctor
    But before I could say "Hey, thank ya, no"
    that fool yells "Ready, get set, go"
    And the race is on and we’re off and gone
    me and that maniac jogger

    I could’ve left him far behind
    but I played with him like a fish on a line
    And I stayed about a half a mile behind that sucker
    Then I pushed her up to forty-five
    and he sees me comin’ and he starts to fly
    So I kicked her to sixty and shift to high
    and finally catch that jogger, and it wasn’t easy

    Now I’m doin’ eighty and I turned to check
    and he’s stayin’ right with me neck in neck
    His hearts a thumpin’ like an engine goin’ poo poon pucker… prooon!!
    Then he yelled out
    "I hope you’re set, cuz I ain’t shifted into second yet"
    Then he unwinds and leaves me behind, eaten the dust of a jogger

    Then I see him a joggin’ up into the sky and he yells
    "Hey, thanks for the exercise’
    And I hope that losin’ the race was not too shockin’
    Ya see, my Dad says, ‘Heaven ain’t no place to run’
    I try to be an obedient son
    So I got to come down to earth to do my joggin’"

    Well that’s the story, take it or leave it
    my trucker buddies, they believe it
    So do them race car nuts and Harley hoggers
    And I’m still drivin’ much the same
    'cept I don’t call nobody names
    And I tip my hat each time I pass one of them good old joggers

    Hey, there’s one now
    Hey, everybody hangin’ in there
    It wasn’t…

    Chain Lightning Composer(s): Walter Becker - Donald Fagen Performer(s): Steely Dan and multiple other artists



    Some turnout, a hundred grand
    Get with it we'll shake his hand
    Don't bother to understand
    Don't question the little man
    Be part of the brotherhood
    Yes it's chain lightning
    It feels so good

    Hush brother, we cross the square
    Act natural like you don't care
    Turn slowly and comb your hair
    Don't trouble the midnight air
    We're standing just where he stood
    It was chain lightning
    It feels so good
