Transistor Radio Composer(s): Benny Hill Performer(s): Benny Hill
My babys got a transistor radio She takes it everywhere we go She takes it when we go out a-walking Even to a movie show Well now, just last night, in the pale moonlight I asked her for a kiss But instead of hearing her whisper sweet words of love All that I could hear was this (Radio: 4 lines of high-pitched singing, sounding like Pinky & Perky)
I went round to the house where my baby lives To ask her for a date There I was, walking up the garden path Round about half past eight When I heard a sound, made my poor heart pound It stopped me in my stride I seemed to hear the voice of another guy Coming from inside
(Radio: Elvis take-off, singing I wonder if youre lonesome tonight - Maybe thats cause youre eleven feet tall And all the worlds a stage, I have often heard that said But I dont have a wooden heart I have a wooden head)
Id like to take her transistor radio And throw it in the deep blue sea Im so jealous of her transistor radio Cause it takes her mind off me I said, Oh baby, please be mine I want you for my own Tell me, is your love for somebody else? Or is it for me alone?
(Radio: Male presenting dance music requests from British Honduras, New Guinea, and British West Hartlepool)
I swore to her that I would always be true And love her all the while And oh, that oh so happy day I took her down the aisle Now, do you take this man to be your loving husband? The preacher softly said But he never heard you say, I do Cause this is what he heard instead
(Radio: Singing, Yeah, yeah You told me you were just eighteen on the telephone I thought that you meant eighteen years But you meant eighteen stone Big fat mama}
We went to spend our honeymoon down on the Island of Capri I found myself a very small hotel as quiet as could be But when I got up to our room upon our wedding night This is the sound that reached my ears As I switched out the light
(Wife) Darling? (Husband) Ere, wheres the radio? (Wife) Music he wants!
I Must Have Been Blind Composer(s): Tim Buckley First release by: Tim Buckley - 1969 Covered by multiple other artists
Here I am believin' words again Here I am tryin' to find your love again Here I am down on my knees again Prayin' for a love That we used to know
Both of us know How hard it is to love And let it go Both of us know How hard it is to go on living that way When so few understand what it means To fall in love And so few know how hard it is to live without it I must have been blind I must have been blind Lord, I must have been blind
To hold something real And not believe it To live in her life And never trustin' To give all you know and never feel it To hold back each day Until it dies away
Both of us know How hard it is to love And let it go Both of us know How hard it is to go on Living that way When so few undersand what it means To fall in love And so few know how hard it is to live without it I must have been blind I must have been blind Lord, I must have been blind
Just When Composer(s): Alan Rhody; Bill Caswell Performer(s): George Jones
Just when I learned how to dance, they changed the music Just when I learned how to sing, they changed the song Just when I learned how to love, you changed your mind, babe Just when I thought I'd found everything, my everything was gone
Just when love felt so right, I found I was wrong Just when I learned to trust, he came along Suddenly nothing I said made any difference Just when I thought I'd found everything, my everything was gone
You know that ol' lonesome world could But it can sure make you cry Oh, and a love I thought would last Ah, it's now just a thing of the past
Just when love felt so right, I found I was wrong Just when I learned to trust, he came along Suddenly nothing I said made any difference Just when I thought I'd found everything, my everything was gone
Just when I thought I'd found everything, my everything was gone
Transfusion Composer(s): Justin Drake First release: Nervous Norvus - 1956
Toolin' down the highway doin' seventy-nine I'm a twin-pipe poppa and I'm feelin' fine Hey man, dig that! Was that a red stop sign?
Transfusion, transfusion I'm just a solid mess of contusions Never, never, never gonna speed again Slip the blood to me, Bud

Transfusion, transfusion Oh man I got the cotton-pickin' convolutions I'm never, never, never gonna speed again Shoot the juice to me, Bruce
My foot's on the throttle and it's made of lead But I'm a fast-ridin' daddy with a real cool head I'm a-gonna pass a truck on the hill ahead
Transfusion, transfusion My red corpsuckles are in mass confusion Never, never, never gonna speed again Pour the crimson in me, Jimson
I took a little drink and I'm a-feeling right I can fly right over everything, everything in sight There's a slow-pokin' cat, I'm gonna pass him on the right
Transfusion, transfusion I'm a real gone paleface and that's no illusion I'm a-never, never, never gonna speed again Pass the claret to me, Barrett
A-rollin' down the mountain on a rainy day Oh when you see me comin' better start to pray I'm a-cuttin' up the road and I'm the boss all the way
Transfusion, transfusion Oh Doc, pardon me for this crazy intrusion I'm never, never, never gonna speed again Pump the fluid in me, Louis
I'm burnin' up the freeway a-early this morn' And I'm passin' everyone, oh nothin' but corn Man out of my way, I don't drive on my horn
Transfusion, transfusion Oh Nurse, I'm gonna make a new resolution I'm never, never, never gonna speed again Put a gallon in me, Alan
Oh barnyard drivers are found in two classes Blind crowding hogs and speeding jackasses So remember to slow down today
I Must Go Composer(s): Lindsey Buckingham; Gordon Fordyce Performer(s): Lindsey Buckingham
I've been trying just to get to you Hey little girl, leave the little drug alone I just can't seem to get through Hey little girl, leave the little drug alone You leave in the morning but you don't come back Hey little girl, leaving me all alone Hey little girl, you're on the wrong track Hey little girl, leave the little drug alone

You just can't choose between the lie and the fact Hey little girl, leave the little drug alone Hey little girl, you're on the wrong track Hey little girl, leave the little drug alone
I've been waiting, contemplating Now I know If you're aching, heart is breaking Let the forewinds blow

And this is why I must go Why I must go Why I must go Why I must go I must go
And this is why I must go Why I must go Why I must go Why I must go I must go
And this is why I must go Why I must go Why I must go Why I must go I must go
Just What I Needed Composer(s): Ric Ocasek Performer(s): The Cars; and various other artists
I don't mind you coming here And wasting all my time 'Cause when you're standing oh so near I kinda lose my mind
It's not the perfume that you wear It's not the ribbons in your hair I don't mind you coming here And wasting all my time
I don't mind you hanging out And talking in your sleep It doesn't matter where you've been As long as it was deep, yeah
You always knew to wear it well, and You look so fancy I can tell I don't mind you hanging out And talking in your sleep
Chorus: I guess you're just what I needed (Just what I needed) I needed someone to feed I guess you're just what I needed (Just what I needed) I needed someone to bleed
I don't mind you coming here And wasting all my time, time 'Cause when you're standing oh so near I kinda lose my mind, yeah
It's not the perfume that you wear It's not the ribbons in your hair I don't mind you coming here And wasting all my time
Chorus x2
So bleed me You're just what I needed You're just what I needed You're just what I needed
Transfiguraciones Composer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute - Pau Riba Performer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute
Subo al Verbo partido por tres tres tiempos que me dividen en pasado, futuro y hoy o yóh teh amoh y bajo a tu sustantivo Amor, multiplicado por tres Transfigúrate en tres que seis son
Primer parto Lo Uno se rompió y Di vino a ser Aquí empieza el Verso Desde entonces el Universo es Di verso
Segunda parte non, impar, transgresor de sí mismo Persigue el hombre la Unidad en su ecuación imposible Transfigúrate en tres que seis son Muda la cara y quieto el paisaje en el amor conocer por qué tú no eres yo Yo que sin ti no soy Celeste pasión del verbo único así en el cielo como en el infierno amor cambiamos, amor
I Missed Me Composer(s): Bill Anderson First recording/First release by: Jim Reeves - 1960 Covered by multiple other artists
Last night was the worst night of my life no doubt 'Cause while I stayed at home, someone else took you out I cried 'cause I love you with all of my might And I missed me, how I missed me at your house last night
I missed holding hands, walking out on your lawn I missed the sweet kiss that was mine for so long Were you happy with new arms wrapped around you so tight Did you miss me, like I missed me at your house last night
Did the neighbours say they noticed anything strange Like a diff'rent car parked in your drive for a change Did they watch as he kissed you beneath the porch light And did they miss me like I missed me at your house last night
Transatlantic Lullaby Composer(s): Geoff Wright - Robert McDermott Performer(s): Adelaide Hall and multiple other artists
New Yorks skyscrapers are sleeping Dawn comes creeping on Street lamps are shining more clearly Night has nearly gone Papa and mama both are yawning now All their goodnights will soon be said It wont be long until the morning now And time to go to bed
Soft Manhattan evenings fall A velvet dust envelops all On Hudson River, distant tugboats cry Ship to ship and shore to shore The waters make a shining floor And hum a transatlantic lullaby
The sky is silky dark, its cool in Central Park The traffic cars all clanging past A busy day is done, the lights fade one by one And Broadway goes to bed at last
Tomorrow seems a distant beam And still the rocky waters gleam And hum a sleepy transatlantic lullaby
The sky is silky dark, its cool in Central Park The charley cars all clanging past A busy day is done, the lights fade one by one And Broadway goes to bed at last
Tomorrow seems a distant beam And still the rocky waters gleam And hum a sleepy transatlantic lullaby
I Missed Again Composer(s): Phil Collins Performer(s): Phil Collins
So you finally came right out and said it girl What took you so long It was in your eyes, that look's been there for too long I'm waiting in line Would you say if I was wasting my time
Or did I miss again I think I missed again oh
I think about it from time to time When I'm lonely and on my own
I try to forget and yet, still rush to the telephone I'm waiting in line Would you say if I was wasting my time
Or did I miss again I think I missed again oh Or did I miss again I think I missed again oh
Well it feels like something you want so bad Then you think you've got it, but it's something you already had You can feel it all around you, but it's something you just can't touch And I feel it coming at me I can feel it coming at me
Or did I miss again I think I missed again oh Or did I miss again I think I missed again
I'm waiting in line, but would you say if I was wasting my time
Just Walk In My Shoes Composer(s): H. Mastor; K. Miller Performer(s): Gladys Knight & The Pips; and various other artists
Well I just can't get myself together anymore I believe I need the love I had Oh baby, we had it all
Walk in my shoes This hurt inside is too much for me Just walk in my shoes You'll see I want the love that used to be Try on my heartache Go ahead and try it on for size Just walk in my shoes And you'll see through someone else's eyes
What you've done to me I fell apart when you walked out And I just can't get myself together anymore I believe I need the love I had Oh baby, we had it all
Why don't you walk and walk into my shoes And you'll wear a smile that isn't real Just walk in my shoes And you'll know how broken up I feel Try out each new day Wear the cloak of loneliness I know Just walk in my shoes Or do you since you let me go
Keep on walkin', walk on, ye-e-e-a-a-ah You got to keep on walking, baby
Darlin' I fell apart Baby, baby, baby, when you walked out And I just can't get myself together anymore 'Cause I need, I need the love we had Oh baby, why did you go
Why don't you walk an' walk an' walk an' walk into my shoes Ye-e-e-a-ah, you gotta, gotta, gotta walk in my shoes Well, why doncha walk, you gotta, gotta........

Just Visiting Composer(s): Lynsey De Paul Performer(s): Lynsey De Paul
When we first began And man received his present name We were worshipping the sun and moon And hoping it would rain Thinking we were puppets of some universal power We expected his arrival any hour
Suddenly it came A chariot across the sky Roaring like an angry tiger Giving us a great surprise And what was surely God indeed Stepped out a burning plane Proceeding to explain
I'm not your maker An angel or a saint divine Not your Creator Giving you a holy sign I am a spaceman And I'm just visting the earth You are an apeman And I've been visiting you Ever since your birth
Man was but a child And little did he understand And he couldn't write this story down So his children heard it second hand And what was pure and simple Now a miracle became The spaceman was its name
I'm not your maker An angel or a saint divine Not your Creator Giving you a holy sign I am a spaceman And I'm just visting the earth You are an apeman And I've been visiting you Ever since your birth
And now we've joined the race Travellers in outer-space Very soon we too might have to say
I'm not your maker An angel or a saint divine Not your Creator Giving you a holy sign I am a spaceman And I'm just visting your earth You are an apeman And I've been visiting you Ever since your birth...
Down by the river, foggy and grey Only a young girl kneeling to pray Down in the water, muddy and cold Eyes red from crying A torn, ragged soul
Once so young and gay Once in dreams of yesterday
Down by the river, foggy and grey Only an old tramp shuffles his way He saw that the water, that the water so wide Held the young body of a love that had died
Once so young and fair Once, and now despair
Down by the reeds, they found him next day Dead like the young girl, in the water so grey That muddy old river took two of a kind A tramp and a young girl That love left behind
I Miss You So
Composer(s): Jimmy Henderson - Sydney Robin - Bertha Scott
Performer(s): The Cats & The Fiddle
and multiple other artists
Those happy hours I spent with you
That lovely afterglow
But most of all I miss you so
Your sweet caresses each rendezvous
Your voice so soft and low
But most of all I miss you so
You once filled my heart
There's no regrets, no, no fears
And now you'll find my heart
Filled to the top with tears
I'll always love you and want you too
How much, how much you'll never know
But most of all I miss you so
But most of all I miss you so
I Miss You Honey, Miss You All The Time Composer(s): Charles K. Harris
I can see a picture of a cottage In a valley 'neath a Southern sky I can see her standing 'mid the flowers Where we plighted troth, my love and I Just a lovers quarrel, then we parted She may love another, I suppose But my heart goes out to her with yearning And I wonder if my Honey knows
Violets are growing in the meadow Honey suckles twine around her door I can see her in the grassy orchard Over her the pink white blossoms pour There is something calls me back to Honey 'T is no use, I'm going home today Take her in my arms once more and tell her How I longed to see her and to say
Oh, how I miss you Honey, miss you Could I only kiss you, kiss you If I could but hold you in my arms again For, oh, my heart is sad and weary Just for you, my little dearie How I miss you, honey, miss you all the time
