The Thin Ice Composer(s): Roger Waters Performer(s): Pink Floyd and multiple other artists
Momma loves her baby And Daddy loves you, too And the sea may look warm to ya, Babe And the sky may look blue
Oooooo Babe Oooooooo Baby Blue Oooooo Ooohh Babe
If you should go skating On the thin ice of modern life Dragging behind you the silent reproach Of a million tear-stained eyes Don't be surprised when a crack in the ice Appears under your feet You slip out of your depth and out of your mind With your fear flowing out from behind You as you claw the ice
Come On Eileen Composer(s): Kevin Rowland; Jim Paterson; Billy Adams; Micky Billingham Originally performed by: Dexys Midnight Runners Covered by various other artists
Poor old Johnny Ray Sounded sad upon the radio He moved a million hearts in mono Our mothers cried and sang along and who'd blame them Now you're grown, so grown, now I must say more than ever Go toora loora toora loo rye aye And we can sing jsut like our fathers
Come on Eileen, well I swear (what he means) At this moment, you mean everything With you in that dress my thoughts I confess Verge on dirty Ah come on Eileen
These people round here wear beaten down eyes Sunk in smoke dried faces They're so resigned to what their fate is But not us, no not us We are far too young and clever Eileen I'll sing this tune forever
Come on Eileen well I swear (what he means) Ah come on, let's take off everything That pretty red dress Eileen (tell him yes) Ah come on Eileen
Rite Of Passage Composer(s): Bob Seger Performer(s): Bob Seger
It's the age of reason for the anarchist It's a change of venue for the lobbyist It's a dream of justice buried in the grist
It's a secret briefing based on need to know It's a condescending rationale from command control Feel the sense of wonder at the overthrow
It's a rite of passage through a hurricane Through a rolling thunder through a screaming rain Hear the shriek of Abel hear the cry of Cain
And Abraham will take his son Five billion years from now the cruelty will be done
Make a destination Of the greater truth Make 'em hang their heads and eat their words When you find the proof This is all you're given It's your only move
It's a rite of passage for the everyman To a higher ground To a brighter light To a promised land You can feel the power Of the master's hand
The Texas Troubadour Composer(s): Porter Wagoner Performer(s): Ernest Tubb
The New York City folks say I'm too country The Grenache Village hippies all call me square But at the Long Horn barroom down in Dallas Texas They call me the Texas Troubadour there
My home state of Texas you've been good to me Your wide open spaces treat me fair The girls are so much prettier down in Texas They don't breathe that New York City polluted air
Ah Buddy
The New York City sidewalks filled with people Too busy to say hello to you there With hearts as cold as the concrete that they walk on They sure could use some clean fresh Texas air
Now Texas folks don't judge you till they know you And they don't judge you then by what you wear And you can feel at home anyplace in Texas If you don't own a thing or if you're a millionaire
Now My home state of Texas you've been good to me Your wide open spaces treat me fair The girls are so much prettier down in Texas They don't breathe that New York City polluted air

Rising Sun Composer(s): John Fiddler Performer(s): Medicine Head; British Lions
Come on down the road before the sun Get high in your heart and have some fun Hey, cravin' like the way you look You're open like a child's first book

Come on baby, jump inside my truck Don't worry, you know you got good luck All you do is put your right foot out That move'll show you what's all about

Little children do not worry Oh, you still got lot's o' time There's no need in walkin' backwards Turn around and rise and shine 'Cause the good Lord said he loves you And through him new strength you'll find And even though the world may use you Get up now, go rise and shine
Rise and shine early mornin' Shine your light all through the day Makes no difference how they treat you Stand right up and have your say 'Cause the good Lord said he loves you And through him new strength you'll find And even though the world may use you Get up now, go rise and shine
Look at how they done poor Jesus Why, they nailed him to the cross When he died out there on Calvary So the world would not be lost So no matter how they treat you If they slap you in your face Just remember Jesus loves you And all because he took your place
Shine early mornin' Shine your light all through the day Makes no difference how they treat you Stand right up and have your say 'Cause the good Lord said he loves you And through him new strength you'll find And even though the world may use you Get up now, go rise and shine
Look at how they done poor Lazarus When he begged for the rich man's crumbs But the rich man, high and mighty He refused and gave him none Now he's placed himself with Jesus In that large house up above 'Cause the good book plainly tells us Lazarus learned to live on love
Rise and shine ev'ry mornin' Shine your light all through the day Makes no difference how they treat you Stand right up and have your say 'Cause the good Lord said he loves you And through him new strength you'll find And even though the world may use you Get up now, go rise and shine
Rise and shine into the mornin' Shine your light all through the day Makes no difference how they treat you Stand by and have your say 'Cause the good Lord said he loves you And through him new strength you'll find And even though the world may use you Get up now, go rise and shine.......

Headin' up to San Francisco for the Labor Day weekend show I've got my hush-puppies on I guess I never was meant for glitter rock and roll And honey I didn't know that I'd be missin' so

Riptide Composer(s): Walter Donaldson; Gus Kahn Performer(s): Al Bowlly; and various other artists
Riptide, caught in a riptide Torn between two loves, the old and the new Riptide, lost in a riptide Where will it take me, what shall I do?
My heart is tossed on a sea of emotion One love offers romance, the other devotion A new love is calling, the old love is bleeding Im caught in a riptide, what shall I do?

Ripple Composer(s): Jerry Garcia; Robert Hunter Performer(s): Grateful Dead; and various other artists
If my words did glow with the gold of sunshine And my tunes were played on the harp unstrung Would you hear my voice come thru the music Would you hold it near as it were your own?
It's a hand-me-down, the thoughts are broken Perhaps they're better left unsung I don't know, don't really care Let there be songs to fill the air
Ripple in still water When there is no pebble tossed Nor wind to blow
Reach out your hand if your cup be empty If your cup is full may it be again Let it be known there is a fountain That was not made by the hands of men
There is a road, no simple highway Between the dawn and the dark of night And if you go no one may follow That path is for your steps alone
Ripple in still water When there is no pebble tossed Nor wind to blow
But if you fall you fall alone If you should stand then who's to guide you? If I knew the way I would take you home
La dee da da da, La da da da da, Da da da, Da da, Da da da da da La da da da, La da da, Da da, La da da da, La da, Da da
The Tears Of A Clown Composer(s): Stevie Wonder - Smokey Robinson - Henry Cosby First release by: Smokey Robinson & The Miracles - 1967 Covered by multiple other artists
Now if there's a smile on my face It's only there trying to fool the public But when it comes down to fooling you Now honey that's quite a different subject
But don't let my glad expression Give you the wrong impression Cos really I'm sad, Oh I'm sadder than sad Well I'm hurt and I want you so bad Like a clown I appear to be glad ooh yeah
Well they're some sad things known to man But ain't too much sadder than The tears of a clown when there's noone around Oh yeah, baby baby, oh yeah baby baby
Now if I appear to be carefree It's only to camouflage my sadness And honey to shield my pride I try To cover this hurt with a show of gladness But don't let my show convince you That I've been happy since you Cos I need to go, oh I need you so Look I'm hurt and I want you to know For others I put on a show...
Well they're some sad things known to man But ain't too much sadder than The tears of a clown when there's noone around Oh yeah, baby baby, oh yeah baby baby
Just like Pagliacci did I try to keep my surface hid Smiling in the crowd I try But in a lonely room I cry The tears of a clown When there's noone around, oh yeah, baby baby Now if there's a smile on my face Don't let my glad expression Give you the wrong impression Don't let this smile I wear Make you think that I don't care Cos really I'm sad...
