Train Round The Bend Composer(s): Lou Reed First release: The Velvet Underground - 1970 Covered by multiple other artists
Train round the bend Takin' me away from the country I'm sick of the trees Take me to the city Train goin' round the bend Train comin' round the bend
Been in the country much too long Trying to be a farmer But nothing that I planted ever seemed to grow Train comin' round the bend Train comin' round the bend
Hey, I am just a city boy I'm really not the country kind I miss the city streets and the neon lights See the train comin' round the bend The train comin' round the bend
Once, she's goin' twice She's gonna do it all up and down She's goin' once, she's goin' twice She's goin', train's comin' round the bend You know the train's comin' round the bend
Hey, up and down, out of nowhere Taking me back where I belong I've been here once and I don't dig it tonight The train's coming round the bend The train's coming round the bend
I Might Have Been Queen Composer(s): Rupert Hine; Jamie West-Oram Performer(s): Tina Turner
Im a new pair of eyes everytime I am born An original mind because I just died And Im scanning the horizon For someone recognizing that I might have been queen For every sun that sets there is a new one dawning For every empire crushed there is a brand new nation Let the waters rise, I have ridden each tide From the gates of the city where the first born died
And I might have been queen I remember the girl in the fields with no name She had a love But the rivers wont stop for me No, the rivers wont stop to me
Im a new pair of eyes, an original mind With my senses of old and the heart of a giant And Im searching through the wreckage For some recollection that I might have been queen For every sage that falls theres an ancient child
And I might have been queen I remember the girl in the fields with no name She had a love But the rivers wont stop for me No, the rivers wont stop to me
I look up to the stars with my perfect memory I look through it all and my future is no shock to me I look down but I see no tragedy I look up to the stars till I find my destiny I look up to my past, a spirit running free I look down, I look down and Im there in history Im a soul survivor
Just The Two Of Us Composer(s): Ralph MacDonald; William Salter; Bill Withers Performer(s): Grover Washington Jr.; and various other artists
I see the crystal raindrops fall And the beauty of it all when the sun comes shining through To make those rainbows in my mind When I think of you some time And I want to spend some time with you
Chorus: Just the two of us We can make it if we try Just the two of us Just the two of us Building castles in the sky Just the two of us You and I We look for love, no time for tears Wasted waters's all that is And it don't make no flowers grow Good things might come to those who wait Not to those who wait to late We got to go for all we know
Chorus
I hear the crystal raindrops fall On the window down the hall And it becomes the morning dew Darling, when the morning comes And I see the morning sun I want to be the one with you
Just the two of us We can make it if we try Just the two of us Just the two of us Building big castles way on high Just the two of us You and I
Just the two of us Let's get together, baby Just the two of us We can make it Just the two of us We can make it Just the two of us Just the two of us we can make it

I Might Composer(s): Barrie Guard; Stewart Leatherwood; Gary Sulsh Performer(s): Shakin' Stevens; The Vees
I Might, (Ooooooooooooh) I might just fall in love with you tonight If your kiss lingers still And my lips think it will Then I just might
I could I could surrender in your arms tonight Just hold me close once more And kiss me like before and I just might
Lately I found my resistance is down Every time that I look in your eyes My head starts to spin, I try not to give in But if you catch my heart by surprise
I might, (Ooooooooooooh) I might give up my heart without a fight I never thought I would But now I think I could And I just might
Wooh, wooh
What can I do with a girl sweet as you Can't kiss all my defenses away Tonight you may find that you've made up my mind 'Cause it's getting much harder to say
I might, (Ooooooooooooh) I might give up my heart without a fight I never thought I would But now I think I could And I just might
(Ooooooh), I Might, (Ooooooooooooh) I might just fall in love with you tonight If your kiss lingers still And my lips think it will Then I just might
I could, I could surrender in your arms tonight Just hold me tight once more And kiss me like before and I just might
I might just fall in love with you tonight I never thought I would But now I think I could and I ...

Rose Of England Composer(s): Ivor Novello; Christopher Hassall Performer(s): Vera Lynn
Grown in one land alone Where proud winds have blown Theres not a flower born of the shower Braver than Englands own Though gales of winter blow Piercing hail and snow Shining she stays bright as in days of yore Old Englands pride still blossoms Fresh on Englands shore
Rose of England thou shall fade not here Proud and bright from growing year to year Red shall thy petals be as rich wine untold Shared by thy warriors who served thee of old Rose of England breathing Englands air Flower of chivalry beyond compare While hand and heart endure to cherish thy prime Thou shall blossom to the end of time
Rose of England breathing Englands air Flower of liberty beyond compare While hand and heart endure to cherish thy prime Thou shall blossom to the end of time
Just The Same Composer(s): Kerry Minnear; Derek Shulman Performer(s): Gentle Giant; Jordan Rudess
See me, what I am, what I was, what I'll be Hear me, understand that I'm not what you see Take this, take the man, middle term, common me Don't you see that I'm just doing what I want to do Nothing more and nothing less than you Read no thoughts I didn't think myself Just the same as anybody else
Make me someone else, put me up on a stand Something that I don't really want on my hands Use me, idolise all you can understand Don't you see that I'm just doing what I want to do Nothing more and nothing less than you Read no thoughts I didn't think myself Just the same as anybody else
Change it, what you think, what you thought, what you say Look for something more than you sought yesterday I don't want to be part of your life today Don't you see that I'm just doing what I want to do Nothing more and nothing less than you Read no thoughts I didn't think myself Just the same as anybody else
Train In Vain Composer(s): Mick Jones - Joe Strummer First release: The Clash- 1979 Covered by multiple other artists
Say you stand by your man Tell me something I don't understand You said you love me and that's a fact Then you left me, said you felt trapped
Well some things you can explain away But my heartache's in me till this day
Did you stand by me No, not at all Did you stand by me No way
All the times When we were close I'll remember these things the most I see all my dreams come tumbling down I won't be happy without you around
So all alone I keep the wolves at bay There is only one thing that I can say
Did you stand by me No, not at all Did you stand by me No way
You must explain why this must be Did you lie when you spoke to me
Did you stand by me No, not at all
Now I got a job But it don't pay I need new clothes I need somewhere to stay But without all these things I can do But without your love I won't make it through
But you don't understand my point of view I suppose there's nothing I can do
Did you stand by me No, not at all Did you stand by me No way
You must explain why this must be Did you lie when you spoke to me?
Did you stand by me Did you stand by me No, not at all Did you stand by me No way Did you stand by me No, not at all Did you stand by me No way
I met my baby in Macys in Gentlemens Underwear I met my baby in Macys and thats where I learned to care We looked at a cottage on the Mezzanine With a toaster and an iron and a washing machine I met my baby in Macys in Gentlemens Underwear
I asked my baby to wed me in higher-priced Langerie I asked my baby and said we should honeymoon rightaway Should head right for heaven on the 2nd floor And well buy all the romance that theyve got in the store I asked my baby to wed me in higher-priced Langerie
And then my baby refused me and told me she didnt care I found my baby in Macys so I just returned her there Theyre giving me credit but Im all alone So I think Ill take the door, see what Gimballs are showin Who wants my baby in Macys in Gentlemens Underwear I left my heart on one of those clothing trees Between the mens cologne and the b.b.b. When I lost my baby in Macys in Gentlemens Underwear
Just Tell Her Jim Said Hello Composer(s): Jerry Leiber; Mike Stoller Performer(s): Elvis Presley
She's sitting right over there I'd know that face anywhere I'd run up and embrace her But Im ashamed to face her Just tell her Jim said hello
I'd like to pour out my heart But I don't know where to start I'd like to tell her What Im really feeling but Just tell her Jim said hello
Just tell her Jim said hello Just tell her Jim and she'll know
Don't tell her Im feeling blue That's just between me and you Don't say Im thinking of her Don't tell her I still love her Just tell her Jim said hello
Just tell her Jim said hello Just tell her Jim said hello Just tell her Jim said hello
I love the fresh air, it's great, I declare Wide open spaces for me With trailer and car I set out afar A rover I meant to be Over the hills and dales Over the slugs and snails Trailing around in a trailer Eee, it's champion campin' out
It's just like a real gypsy life To make it look more real, a gypsy lent me his wife I'd only one pair of pyjamas It was awkward there's no doubt We shared the suit between us, but we found it too tight She had got the left leg on, so I put on the right The tape it broke and I never got a wink of sleep all night Eee, it's champion campin' out
On a farm t'other night, I was doin' all right A dairy maid sat on me knee One kiss it begun at a quarter-to-one And it lasted till half-past-three For breakfast we'd eggs and ham Then I thought it was time to scram and go Ttrailin around in me trailer Eee, it's champion campin' out
To shut the window one day I tried I banged it in a hurry with me head still inside When I was doin' some fishin' A girl strayed round about She smiled and whispered, "Any luck?", she seemed a gay spark As far as fishin' went, it's true me luck was off the mark But I had a bit of luck with her as soon as it was dark Eee, it's champion campin' out
