Chains of love

Chains of love

Until the day I die

Well, if you're gonna leave me
Please won't you set me free
Well, if you're gonna leave me
Please won't you set me free
I can't stay here with these chains

Yeah, three 'o clock in the morning
The moon is shining bright
I'm just sitting here wondering

Friends
Composer(s): Elton John - Bernie Taupin
First release by: Elton John - 1971



I hope the day will be a lighter highway
For friends are found on every road
Can you ever think of any better way
For the lost and weary travellers to go
Making friends for the world to see
Let the people know you got what you need
With a friend at hand you will see the light
If your friends are there then everything's all right
It seems to me a crime that we should age
These fragile times should never slip us by
A time you never can or shall erase
As friends together watch their childhood fly

The Juicer
Composer(s): Mick Stewart
Performer(s): Sweet



Somewhere, where am I
Don't know when I'm high
People lookin' at me
Is there, what did I see

Man with a bible
Won't somebody tell me please
Somebody help me
Tell me what's happened to me

Fever night and day
Woman, hear what I say
Daze all, lighter come
This life won't be long

Man with a bible won't
Somebody tell me please
Somebody help me
Tell me what's happened to me

Woman, hear my plead
Come on, rescue me
Signs all, death has come
Woman look what you've done

Man with a bible
Won't somebody tell me please
Somebody help me
Tell me what's happened to me

Man with a bible
Won't somebody tell me please
Somebody help me
Tell me what's happened to me
To me 

Chains Around Your Heart
Composer(s): Brian Setzer
Performer(s): Brian Setzer



It's a late cool autumn evening
And the sunset melts into night
With a v-twin throbbing beneath me
And my head's spinning allright
Ritchie and me we started as kids
In a rock 'n' roll band on the street where we lived
It's a long hard ride till the morning
As the trees and wind start to sing

Chains around your heart that bind
Break away and leave them behind

Well once there was a time in this rock 'n' roll dream
This here town would be rip apart at the seams
Now I'm out of money and Billy's out of work
Eddie's pushin' pencils for the county clerk
Everybody's job is getting pushed out of town
Life is just knockin' 'em down
Boyhood dreams are run into the ground
Long dark shadows hang over this town

Cast away the chains that bleed
Break away and I leave you free

Take my hand come leave with me
As nighttime fades away
we'll ride the hills and desert sand
Cross the barren land

All the families have all gone
Their jobs went before them I'm sure
They knocked down the corner barber shop
And put up a super triple level parking lot
There once was a time you could vote for a man
Who wouldn't try and stick a gun in your hands
So cut out all your talkin'
And make love with me through the night

Chains around your heart that bind
Break away and leave them behind
Just leave them behind
Just leave them behind

Friends
Composer(s): Mark "Moogy" Klingman; Buzzy Linhart
Performer(s): Bette Midler



Oh, you got to have friends
The feeling's oh so strong
You got to have friends
To make that day last long
Had some friends, but they're gone
Somethin' came and took them away
And from the dusk 'til the dawn
Here's where I will stay

Standing at the end of the road, boys
Waitin' for my new friends to come
I don't care if I'm hungry or cold, freezing
I got to get me some

'Cause you got to have friends
Ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba
Friends
"Oh, that's the favorite part of my voice, you know
I really like to get up
Hm"
Oh, friends
"Thank you"
Oh, friends, friends, friends, friends
I had some firends, oh, but they're all gone, gone
Somethin' took 'em away
And from the dusk 'til the dawn
Here is where I'm gonna stay, you know, oh

Standing at the end of a real long road, Jack
And I'm waitin' for those new friends to come
And I don't care if I'm jungry or freezing, freezing cold
You gotta, you gotta get me some

'Cause you gotta have
"You gotta have friends
I'm telling you
I am speaking 'cause I know
It's going too fast
We're all going too fast! 
I'm trying to tell you to slow down! 
They're hard to come by! 
Those friends are hard to come by! 
I didn't have many friends, you know
But, things are getting better now
And I think it's gonna be okay, 'cause I have a couple now"

Friends
You gotta, you gotta, you gotta have friends, friends
You gotta, you gotta, you gotta have friends, friends
Oh, friends ...

The Juice Of The Barley
Composer(s): Liam Clancy
Performer(s): The Clancy Brothers & Tommy Makem



In the sweet country Lim'rick, one cold winter's night
All the turf fires were burning when I first saw the light
And a drunken old midwife went tipsy with joy
As she danced round the floor with her slip of a boy

Singing ban-ya-na mo if an-ga-na
And the juice of the barley for me

Well when I was a gossoon of eight years old or so
With me turf and me primer to school I did go
To a dusty old school house without any door
Where lay the school master blind drunk on the floor

At the learning I wasn't such a genius I'm thinking
But I soon bet the master entirely at drinking
Not a wake or a wedding for five miles around
But meself in the corner was sure to be found
One Sunday the priest thread me out from the altar
Saying you'll end up your days with your neck in a halter
And you'll dance a fine jig between heaven and hell
And his words they did frighten me the truth for to tell

So the very next morning as the dawn it did break
I went down to the vestry the pledge for to take
And there in that room sat the priests in a bunch
Round a big roaring fire drinking tumblers of punch

Well from that day to this I have wandered alone
I'm a jack of all trades and a master of none
With the sky for me roof and the earth for me floor
And I'll dance out my days frinking whiskey galore

Chains Around My Heart
Composer(s): Richard Marx - Fee Waybill
Performer(s): Richard Marx



Out of my sight
But the vision is still the same
Out of my mind
But the memory remains unchanged
Stones thrown in anger hold twice the hurt
Return to sender could only make things worse

Girl, you've got to break these chains around my heart
'Cause I've been lonely too long
You've got to break these chains around my heart
So I can finally get on with my life

Don't ask me why
Why I've lived with this all alone
Locked up inside
And it's cutting me to the bone
Love is a stranger avoiding me
Beware of danger's the only sign I see

Girl, you've got to break these chains around my heart
Cause I've been lonely too long
You've got to break these chains around my heart
So I can finally get on with my life

Are you listening
Is there something that you'd like to say
Am I getting through
Are you just gonna leave me this way
Yeah

Girl, you've got to break these chains around my heart
Before it tears me in two
You've got to break these chains around my heart
That's all I'm asking of you
You've got to break these chains around my heart
'Cause I've been lonely too long
You've got to break these chains around my heart
So I can finally get on with my life

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

But, darlin', I'm imprisoned by these... 
Chains, my baby's got me locked up in chains

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

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

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...
