Come to my house

Come to this house!
Into this house

Young and old people

Come to this house!
Into this house
Ask along that man who's wearing a carnation
Bring every single person

Go into that hospital
bring nurses and patients
Everybody go home and fetch their relations!
Come to this house

Lovely bright home

We need more room
build an extension
A colourful palace
spare no expense!
Welcome to this house
be one of us
Come into this house
be one of us
Come to our house
come to this house!

I Got Stoned And I Missed It

and multiple other artists



I was sitting in my basement
I just rolled myself a taste
Of something green and gold and glorious
To get me through the day
Then my friend yelled through the transom
"Grab your coat and get your hat son
There's a nut down on the corner
Givin' dollar bills away"

But I laid around a bit
Then I had another hit
Then I rolled myself a bauma
Then I thought about my mama
Then I fooled around, played around
Jacked around a while and then...

I got stoned and I missed it
I got stoned and I missed it
I got stoned and it rolled right by
I got stoned and I missed it
I got stoned and I missed it
I got stoned... oh me... oh my

It took seven months of urgin'
Just to get that local virgin
With the sweet face, up to my place
To fool around a bit
Next day she woke up rosy
And she snuggled up so cozy
When she asked me how I liked it
Lord it hurts me to admit...

I got stoned and I missed it
I got stoned and I missed it
I got stoned and it rolled right by
I got stoned and I missed it
I got stoned and I missed it
I got stoned... oh me... oh my

I'm makin' no excuses
For the many things I uses
Just to sweeten up my relationships
And brighten up my day
When my earthly race is over
And I'm ready for the clover
And they ask me how my life has been
I guess I'll have to say...

I got stoned and I missed it
I got stoned and I missed it
I got stoned and it rolled right by
I got stoned and I missed it
I got stoned and I missed it
I got stoned... oh me... oh my

Johnny
Composer(s): Phil Lynott
Performer(s): Thin Lizzy



Somewhere on the waterfront Johnny's hiding with a gun
Swears he'll kill any man that tells his story
He's not sorry for what he's doen

He broke into a drugstore
To cure his daily need
He didn't mean to shoot the guard
But he was blinded by the greed

Oh Johnny

You see that nun, she's his sister
She doesn't know that he's gone bad
When they told it to his father
It drove the old man mad

Just as his mother warned him
From her dying bed
It's alright to lose your heart
But never lose your head

Oh Johnny

Now the cops have got him surrounded
And he doesn't stand a hope
He wonders how he could be in so much trouble
Over just a little dope

Five to one he gets away
That's the odds I'm going to give
Five to four they blast him away
Three to one he's going to live

Oh Johnny

Back in the alley where he was slain
I thought I heard something move
Beside the trash can lay a heart and chain
The picture had been removed

Just another juiced up junkie
Looking for a bed
It's alright to lose your heart
But never lose your head

Oh Johnny

Covered by multiple other artists



Days can be sunny, with never a sigh
Don't need what money can buy
Birds in the trees sing their day full of song
Why shouldn't we sing along?

I'm chipper all the day, happy with my lot
How do I get that way? Look at what I've got

I got rhythm, I got music
I got my man
Who could ask for anything more?
I got daisys, in green pastures
I got my man
Who could ask for anything more?

Old man trouble
I don't mind him
You won't find him 'round my door
I got starlight
I got sweet dreams
I got my man
Who could ask for anything more?

Old man trouble
I don't mind him
You won't find him, 'round my door
I got startlight
I got sweet dreams

Fair young maid all in her garden
Strange young man come riding by
Saying fair young maid will you marry me?
And this dear sir was her reply

Oh no dear sir I cannot marry thee
For I've a love who sails the deep salt sea
Though he's been gone for seven years
Still no man shall marry me

What if he's died all in some battle slain?
Or if he's drownded in the deep salt sea
What if he's found another love
He and his new love both married be?

Well if he's died all in some battle slain
Or if he's drownded in the deep salt sea
I'll remember his good name
And still no man shall marry me

And if he's found some other love
He and his true love both married be
I wish them health and happiness
Where they now live all across the sea

He picked her up all in his arms
And kisses gave her one two and three
Saying weep no more my own true love
For I'm your long lost John Riley
Saying weep no more my own true love
For I'm your long lost John Riley

Sensation
Composer(s): Pete Townshend
First release: The Who - 1969



Tommy:
I overwhelm as I approach you
make your lungs hold breath inside!
Lovers break caresses for me
love enhanced when I've gone by
You'll feel me coming
a new vibration
From afar you'll see me
I'm a sensation
They worship me and all I touch
hazy eyed they catch my glance
Pleasant shudders shake their senses
my warm momentum throws their stance
You'll feel me coming
a new vibration
From afar you'll see me
I'm a sensation
I leave a trail of rooted people
mesmerised by just the sight
The few I touched now are disciples
Love as One, I Am the Light...
Soon you'll see me, can't you feel me
I'm coming...
Send your troubles dancing, I know the answer
I'm coming...
I'm a sensation

John Looked Down
Composer(s): Arlo Guthrie
Performer(s): Arlo Guthrie



Chorus:
Lying on the side of the road
Feeling like he heard a sound
Shivered with the feelin' that he knowed
John looked down, John looked down
John looked down the long, long road

She gave John a present that was fine
So fine that he had to go
Went to see what it was that he knowed
John looked down, John looked down
John looked down the long, long road

And I know it's hard
But what did you expect of her?
John looked down

If you see the lady in your mind
Even in her nothingness
Standing through the darkest night
And the people want to fight
But first ask if it's all right
John looked down, John looked down
John looked down the long, long road

Chorus

And I know it's hard
But what did you expect of her?
John looked down

Smash The Mirror
Composer(s): Pete Townshend
First release: The Who - 1969



Mother:
You don't answer my call, with even a nod or a twitch
but you gaze at your own reflection!
You don't seem to see me, but I think you can see yourself
How can the mirror affect you?
Can you hear me, or do I surmise that you fear me, can you feel my temper rise?
Do you hear or fear or do I smash the mirror?
Do you hear or fear or do I smash the mirror?  
Smash!

I Got Mine 
(Traditional) 
Performer(s): Ry Cooder



And I went down to a big crap game
'Twas certainly against my will
I lost every doggone nickel I had 
But a greenback dollar bill
Forty dollar that laid on the floor 
My buddy's point was nine 
Well, the police they come in there 
And caught all of 'em 
But I got mine

I got mine, let me tell ya 
I got mine 
I grabbed that money 
Out the back door I went flying 
Well, ever since the big crap game 
I've been livin' on chicken and wine
I'm the leader of society 
Since I got mine

I know a barber shop 
It's a way cross town 
Down on Norfolk street 
It's the only place on a Saturday night 
That us gamblers gets to meet 
Some comes for a haircut 
And others come for a scrap 
And when you see me and my buddies up there, man 
We means to shoot some crap 
Hollering: "Seven, eleven, won't you come, come, come!!! 
If you don't seven, eleven them 
You're done, done, done" 
If I see the police before he sees me 
I'm gonna run, run, run 
I'm the leader of society 
Since I got mine 

Well, I went down to my best girl's house 
The hour was just about nine 
I wasn't dressed up like Henry Ford 
But I was feeling just as fine 
I caught her sitting on another man's knee 
And I didn't like that sign 
Well, I told them what I thought about it, boys 
And I got mine 

I got mine, I got mine 
I grabbed my hat and through the window 
I went flying 
I ran as fast as I could run 
But I didn't get there in time 
Because the rascal grabbed a shotgun, Lord 
And I got mine

John Lennon's Guitar
Composer(s): John Lees
Performer(s): Barclay James Harvest



Back in the autumn of Seventy
On the night shift at Abbey Road
Four young men were recording a song named 'Galadriel'
For an album they'd call "once again"
The producer was Norman Smith
Who'd engineered with the Beatles and John
Whose guitar was to be instrumental that day
When I came to play

I remember it well, as if it was yesterday
The day that I played
John Lennon's guitar
I remember it well, as if it was yesterday
The day that I played
John Lennon's guitar

Back in the autumn of Seventy
As I played on my borrowed guitar
How could I know the Beatles would split the next day
My heroes break up and go their own way

Now autumns they come and they go
But my friends and my memories remain
And my heroes, well some of them fell from the stage
But their light still remains

I remember it well, as if it was yesterday
The day that I played
John Lennon's guitar
I remember it well, as if it was yesterday
The day that I played
John Lennon's guitar

I remember the day
I remember the day
I remember the day
I remember the day
The day that I played
John Lennon's guitar
I remember the day, as if it was yesterday
And I know that the memories will never fade
I remember the day, as if it was yesterday
The day that I played
John Lennon's guitar

I Got Mexico

Performer(s): Eddy Raven
and multiple other artists



I just got tired of that same old job
Tired of fightin' that freeway mob
I bet you never thought I'd really go
I'd never get as far as Mexico

But I've even learned to speak the language some
Down on the beach drinkin' coke and rum
You wouldn't know me with this golden glow
Soakin' sun in Mexico

I'm eatin right and I'm livin' good
Doin' everything I said I would
I should have left a long time ago
Who needs you? I got Mexico

Through it all nothing's really changed
No matter what honey that's a shame
I still love you that's the way it goes
He's got you, I've got Mexico

But I'm eatin' right and I'm livin' good
Doin' everything I said I would
I should have left a long time ago
Who needs you? I got Mexico

I'm eatin' right and I'm livin' good
Doin' everything I said I would
I should have left a long time ago
Who needs you? I got Mexico

I'm eatin' right and I'm livin' good
Doin' everything I said I would
I should have left a long time ago
Who needs you? I got Mexico ...

John Henry
(Traditional)
Performer(s): Pete Seeger



John Henry was about three days old
sittin' on his papa's knee
He picked up a hammer and a little piece of steel
said, "Hammer's gonna be the death of me, Lord, Lord
Hammer's gonna be the death of me"
The captain said to John Henry
"Gonna bring that steam drill 'round
Gonna bring that steam drill out on the job
Gonna whop that steel on down 
Down
Down
Whop that steel on down"
John Henry told his captain
"A man ain't nothin' but a man
But before I let your steam drill beat me down
I'd die with a hammer in my hand 
Lord
Lord
I'd dies with a hammer in my hand"
John Henry said to his shaker
"Shaker, why don't you sing?
I'm throwin' thirty pounds from my hips on down
Just listen to that cold steel ring 
Lord, Lord
Listen to that cold steel ring"
The man that invented the stream drill
Thought he was mighty fine
But John Henry made fifteen feet
The steam drill only made nine 
Lord, Lord
The steam drill only made nine
John Henry hammered in the mountain
His hammer was striking fire
But he worked so hard, he broke his poor heart
He laid down his hammer and he died 
Lord
Lord
He laid down his hammer and he died
John Henry had a little woman
Her name was Polly Ann
John Henry took sick and went to his bed
Polly Ann drove steel like a man 
Lord
Lord
Polly Ann drove steel like a man
John Henry had a little baby
You could hold him in the palm of your hand
The last words I heard that poor boy say
"My daddy was steel-driving man 
Lord
Lord
My daddy was a steel-driving"
Well, every Monday morning
When the bluebirds begin to sing
You can hear John Henry a mile or more
You can hear John Henry's hammer ring
Lord 
Lord
You can hear John Henry's hammer ring

Go To The Mirror!
Composer(s): Pete Townshend
First release: The Who - 1969
Covered by multiple other artists



Doctor:
He seems to be completely unreceptive
The tests I gave him showed no sense at all
His eyes react to light, the dials detect it
He hears, but cannot answer to your call

Tommy:
See me, feel me, touch me, heal me 
See me, feel me, touch me, heal me 

Doctor:
There is no chance, no untried operation
All hope lies with him and none with me
Imagine though the shock from isolation
when he suddenly can hear and speak and see

Tommy :
See me, feel me, touch me, heal me 
See me, feel me, touch me, heal me 

Doctor:
His eyes can see, his ears can hear, his lips speak
All the time, the needles flick and rock
No machine can give the kind of stimulation, needed to remove his inner block
Go to the mirror boy! 
Go to the mirror boy!

Father:
I often wonder what he's feeling?
Has he ever heard a word I've said?
Look at him now in the mirror dreaming
what is happening in his head?

Tommy:
Listening to you I get the music
Gazing at you I get the heat
Following you I climb the mountain
I get excitement at your feet!
Right behind you I see the millions
On you I see the glory
From you I get the opinions, from you I get the story

Father:
What is happening in his head?
Ooh I wish I knew, I wish I knew

I Got Lucky
Composer(s): Dolores Fuller; Ben Weisman; Fred Wise
Performer(s): Elvis Presley



Never found a four leaf clover to bring good luck to me
No rabbits foot no lucky star no magic wishing tree
But I got lucky, yes I got lucky
When I found you, oh yeah!

Got no rainbow around my shoulder, no horseshoe on my door
But I got you to hold me tight and who could ask for more
Oh I got lucky, yes I got lucky
When I found you,

I always walk around with all my fingers crossed
Im afraid the love I found just might get lost
So wont you tell me that you love me, hurry up and name the day
And then Ill know that my good luck is really here to stay
Oh I got lucky, yes I got lucky
When I found you

I always walk around with all my fingers crossed
Im afraid the love I found just might get lost
So wont you tell me that you love me, hurry up and name the day
And then Ill know that my good luck is really here to stay
Oh I got lucky, yes I got lucky
When I found you
Oh I got lucky, yes I got lucky
When I found you

John Deere Green

The Country Dance Kings; Highliners



They were farm kids way down in Dixie
They met in high school in the sixties
Everyone knew it was love from the start
One July in the midnight hour
He climed the water tower
Stood on the rail and painted a 10ft heart
In John Deere green

On a hot summer night
He wrote Billy Bob loves Charlene
In letters 3 foot high
And the whole town said that he should have used red
But it looked good to Charlene
In John Deere green

They settled down on 80 acres
Raising sweet corn,kids and tomaters
They went together like a hand and a glove
On a clear day from their front yard
If you look and know what to look for
Off to the east you can still read his words of love
In John Deere green

On a hot summer night
He wrote Billy Bob loves Charlene
In letters 3 foot high
And the whole town said the boy should have used red
But it looked good to Charlene
In John Deere green

Now more then once the town has dicovered
Painting over it ain't no use
There ain't no paint in the world that'll cover it
The heart keeps showing through
In John Deere green

On a hot summer night
He wrote Billy Bob loves Charlene
In letters 3 foot high
And the whole town said that the fool should have used red
But it looked good to Charlene
In John Deere green

Ahh, paint it green boy
In John Deere green

On a hot summer night
He wrote Billy Bob loves Charlene
In letters 3 foot high
And the whole town said the boy should have used red
But it looked good to Charlene
In John Deere green

John Deere green

He lives in this town, let's see him tomorrow
Let's see him tomorrow
