    True Blue
    Composer(s): Rod Stewart - Ron Wood
    Performer(s): Rod Stewart



    Never been a millionaire
    and I tell you mama I don't care
    Never gonna own a race-horse
    or a fast back mid-engine Porsche
    Don't think I'll own a private jet
    on the Stock Exchange I'm no threat
    So won't you help me make up my mind
    Don't you think I'd better get myself back home

    Sitting in the moonlight glow
    excuse me if my feelings show
    Watching all the trucks roll by
    dreaming up an alibi
    You see, back home I'm considered the fool
    but maybe they're right I don't know
    So can't you help make up my mind
    Don't you think I'd better get myself back home
    Who cares

    Daddy says he'll buy me car
    to drive just as far as I need
    He wants me back at any expense
    He's got a lot more money than sense
    Funny but now that I'm gone
    they all wanna be concerned
    Oh please can you make up my mind
    Don't you think I'd better get myself back home
    Just don't know what to do
    Maybe I'll walk, maybe I'll ride, maybe I'll never ever decide

    Get out da way
    I gotta get on home
    I gotta get home as soon as I can

    Eee-0 Eleven
    Composer(s): Sammy Cahn - James Van Heusen
    Performer(s): Sammy Davis Jr.



    One day I'll have me a chauffeur...
    And a block long limousine
    Eee-o Eleven
    Eee-o Eleven

    Someday I'll have me a penthouse
    Stacks and stacks of folding green
    Eee-o Eleven
    Eee-o Eleven

    It's all a state of mind
    Whether or not you'll fine
    That place down there or heaven
    In the meantime

    Eee-o-Eee-o
    Eee-o Eleven
    Eee-o Eleven
    Eee-o Eleven

    Show me a man without a dream
    And I'll show you a man that's dead
    Real Dead

    Once I had me a dream
    But that dream got kicked in the head
    Dream dead

    I nearly had me that chauffeur
    And that block long limousine
    Eee-o Eleven
    Eee-o Eleven

    I nearly had me that penthouse
    All them stacks of folding green
    Eee-o Eleven
    Eleven

    Some Judge is gonna say
    I'm putting you away
    For four score years and seven
    In the meantime
    Eee-o Eleven
    Eee-o Eleven

    Hey True Blue, don't say you've gone
    Say you've knocked off for a smoko
    And you'll be back later on
    Hey True Blue, Hey True Blue

    Give it to me straight
    Face to face
    Are you really disappearing
    Just another dying race
    Hey True Blue

    True Blue, is it me and you?
    Is it Mum and Dad, is it a cockatoo?
    Is it standing by your mate
    When he's in a fight?
    Or just Vegemite
    True Blue, I'm asking you...

    Hey True Blue, can you bear the load?
    Will you tie it up with wire
    Just to keep the show on the road?
    Hey True Blue, Hey True Blue, now be Fair Dinkum

    Is your heart still there?
    If they sell us out like sponge cake
    Do you really care?
    Hey True Blue

    True Blue, is it me and you?
    Is it Mum and Dad, is it a cockatoo?
    Is it standing by your mate
    When she's in a fight?
    Or just Vegemite
    True Blue, I'm asking you...
    True Blue, is it me and you?
    Is it Mum and Dad, is it a cockatoo?
    Is it standing by your mate
    When he's in a fight?
    Or just Vegemite
    True Blue... True Blue

    I Should Care

    First performance/First release by: Bob Allen & the Tommy Dorsey Orch. - 1945/Martha Tilton & Orch. - 1945
    Covered by multiple other artists



    I guess I should pity me
    But I don't because you see
    I have loved and I have learned
    And as far as I'm concerned

    I should care
    I should go around weeping
    I should care
    I should go without sleeping
    Strangley enough I sleep well
    'Cept for a dream or two
    But then I count my sheep well
    Funny how sheep can lull you to sleep

    I should care
    I should let it upset me
    I should care
    But it just doesn't get me
    Maybe I won't find someone
    as lovely as you!
    But I should care and I do!

    Tout le monde les bras en l'air
    Ne faites pas d'histoires Edouard
    Reste bien les bras en l'air
    Derrière ton comptoir Edouard
    Le premier qui n'est pas content
    N'aura plus jamais mal aux dents

    Reste bien les bras en l'air
    Ferme ton tiroir Edouard
    Car on ne veut rien en faire
    Garde tes dollars Edouard
    On ne veut pas ton argent
    Que personne ne bouge à présent

    On va trouver notre affaire
    Derrière le comptoir Edouard
    Il y a là ce qu'on préfère
    Il y a le ricard Edouard
    Tous les bras en l'air
    Et pas d'histoires
    Tu vas nous servir un ricard

    Composer(s): Gary Kemp
    Performer(s): Spandau Ballet



    So true funny how it seems
    always in time, but never in line for dreams
    Head over heels when toe to toe
    This is the sound of my soul
    this is the sound

    I bought a ticket to the world
    but now I've come back again
    Why do I find it hard to write the next line?
    Oh I want the truth to be said

    Huh huh huh hu-uh huh
    I know this much is true
    Huh huh huh hu-uh huh
    I know this much is true

    With a thrill in my head and a pill on my tongue
    dissolve the nerves that have just begun
    Listening to Marvin (all night long)
    This is the sound of my soul
    this is the sound

    Always slipping from my hands
    Sets a time of its own
    Take your seaside arms and write the next line
    Oh I want the truth to be known

    Huh huh huh hu-uh huh
    I know this much is true
    Huh huh huh hu-uh huh
    I know this much is true

    I bought a ticket to the world
    but now I've come back again
    Why do I find it hard to write the next line?
    Oh I want the truth to be said

    Huh huh huh hu-uh huh
    I know this much is true
    Huh huh huh hu-uh huh
    I know this much is true

    This much is true

    I know, I know, I know this much is true

    I Should Be Sleeping
    Composer(s): Lisa Drew; Shaye Smith
    Performer(s): Emerson Drive; Hit Crew



    I never knew there were such great movies
    On TV at 3 a.m.
    I never guessed that at midnight Tuesday
    I'd could have pizza ordered in
    I never been a real night owl
    But these days I'm all turned around
    There's only one thing I'm sure of right now

    I should be sleepin'
    Instead of keepin' these late hours I've been keepin'
    I've been pacing and retracing
    Every step of every move
    And even though I'm feelin' so right
    I'm so happy still I know
    I should be sleepin'
    Instead of dreamin' about you

    I never knew that I was funny and
    I went and made you laugh
    Never like a girl to call me honey
    But you did and I like that
    I keep thinkin' about your smile
    Tryin' to read between the lines
    Looks like I'll be up for awhile

    I should be sleepin'
    Instead of keepin' these late hours I've been keepin'
    I've been pacing and retracing
    Every step of every move
    And even though I'm feelin' so right
    I'm so happy still I know
    I should be sleepin'
    Instead of dreamin' about you

    How could just three days (just three days)
    One great kiss (one great kiss)

    It's way too soon (way too soon)
    To be obsesssing like this

    I should be sleepin'
    Instead of keepin' these late hours I've been keepin'
    I've been pacing and retracing
    Every step of every move
    And even though I'm feelin' so right
    I'm so happy still I know
    I should be sleepin'
    Instead of dreamin' about you

    Dreamin' about you
    I should be sleepin'

    Editions Of You
    Composer(s): Bryan Ferry First release by: Roxy Music - 1973 Covered by multiple other artists



    Well I´m here looking through an old picture frame
    Just waiting for the perfect view
    I hope something special will step in to my life
    Another fine edition of you
    A pin-up done in shades of blue
    Sometimes you find a yearning for the quiet life
    The country air and all its joys
    But badgers couldn’t compensate at twice the price
    For just another night with the boys oh yeah
    And boys will be boys, will be boys
    They say love´s a gamble, hard to win, easy lose
    And while sun shines you´d better make hay
    So if life is your table and fate is the wheel
    Then let the chips fall where they may
    In modern times the modern way

    And as I was drifting past the Lorelei
    I heard those slinky sirens wail - whooo
    So look out sailor when you hear them croon
    You´ll never been the same again oh no
    Their crazy music drives you insane - this way

    So love, leave me, do what you will
    - who knows what tomorrow might bring?
    Learn from your mistakes is my only advice
    And stay cool is still the main rule
    Don’t play yourself for a fool
    Too much cheesecake too soon
    Old money´s better than new
    No mention in the latest tribune
    And don´t let this happen to you

    Truckin'
    Composer(s): Jerry Garcia - Philip Lesh - Bob Weir - Robert Hunter
    First release: Grateful Dead - 1970
    Covered by multiple other artists



    Truckin' got my chips cashed in
    Keep truckin', like the do-dah man
    Together, more or less in line, just keep truckin' on

    Arrows of neon and flashing marquees out on Main Street
    Chicago, New York, Detroit and it's all on the same street
    Your typical city involved in a typical daydream
    Hang it up and see what tomorrow brings

    Dallas, got a soft machine
    Houston, too close to New Orleans
    New York's got the ways and means
    But just won't let you be, oh no

    Most of the cats that you meet on the streets speak of true love
    Most of the time they're sittin' and cryin' at home
    One of these days they know they better get goin'
    Out of the door and down on the streets all alone

    Truckin', like the do-dah man once told me "You've got to play your hand"
    Sometimes your cards ain't worth a dime, if you don't lay'em down

    Sometimes the light's all shinin' on me
    Other times I can barely see
    Lately it occurs to me
    What a long, strange trip it's been

    What in the world ever became of sweet Jane?
    She lost her sparkle, you know she isn't the same
    Livin' on reds, vitamin C, and cocaine
    All a friend can say is "Ain't it a shame?"

    Truckin', up to Buffalo
    Been thinkin', you got to mellow slow
    Takes time, you pick a place to go, and just keep truckin' on

    Sittin' and starin' out of the hotel window
    Got a tip they're gonna kick the door in again
    I'd like to get some sleep before I travel
    But if you got a warrant, I guess you're gonna come in

    Busted, down on Bourbon Street, set up, like a bowlin' pin
    Knocked down, it get's to wearin' thin
    They just won't let you be, oh no

    You're sick of hangin' around and you'd like to travel
    Get tired of travelin' and you want to settle down
    I guess they can't revoke your soul for tryin'
    Get out of the door and light out and look all around

    Sometimes the light's all shinin' on me
    Other times I can barely see
    Lately it occurs to me
    What a long, strange trip it's been

    Truckin', I'm a goin' home
    Whoa whoa baby, back where I belong
    Back home, sit down and patch my bones, and get back truckin' on
    Hey now get back truckin' home

    I Should Be Dancing
    Performer(s): The Emotions



    I should be dancing
    We should be romancing
    I should be dancing
    In the moonlight with you

    I sit home night after night
    Just waiting for your call
    But I never get one
    I end up just
    Tossing in my bed
    And staring at the walls
    Wondering what I did wrong

    You say I'm the only one
    If that's true
    Tell me, why can't I see you

    We go for days and days
    Without a word
    Tell me, have I blown my single

    I should be dancing
    We should be romancing
    I should be dancing
    In the moonlight with you

    I should be dancing
    Love is enchanting
    Let the music
    Bring my heart together with you

    Saturday night
    Seems to be much lonelier than the rest
    How much longer
    Must I wait
    Don't make me wait
    I really care for you
    But I can't sit here forever, baby
    Come to me
    Take your place

    I should be dancing
    We should be romancing
    I should be dancing
    In the moonlight with you

    I should be dancing
    Love is enchanting
    Let the music
    Bring my heart together with you

    I should be dancing
    We should be romancing
    I should be dancing
    In the moonlight with you

    I should be dancing
    Love is enchanting
    Let the music
    Bring my heart together with you

    I should be dancing
    We should be romancing
    I should be dancing
    In the moonlight with you

    I should be dancing
    Love is enchanting

    D'abord y a cette fille
    Dans la boîte de verre
    Qui dit "Bonne nuit, à demain"
    Sur un bout de musique
    Des bonshommes à l'envers
    Et puis après plus rien
    J'étais là à huit heures
    Pour les mauvaises nouvelles
    Elle m'a laissé tout seul
    Avec mes envies d'elle
    Derrière son visage
    Un paysage de neige
    Et puis après plus rien
    Après je prends mon pote
    Sur la radio locale
    Au milieu d'un discours
    C'est le temps qu'il espère
    Au-dessus de son bocal
    S'il arrive à faire jour
    Parce qu'il paraît qu'y a le feu
    À la moitié de la Terre
    Et qu'on attend du mieux
    Juste pour les sagittaires
    Après un dernier verre
    Le souffle des étoiles
    Et puis après plus rien
    Et puis après plus rien
    Et puis après Edition Spéciale, Edition Spéciale
    En couleur naturelle
    Mes envies d'elle
    Et puis après Edition Spéciale, Edition Spéciale
    En grandeur nature
    Ses yeux sur le mur
    Et puis après je cherche
    Quelqu'un que je connais
    Qui soit encore debout
    Faut pas que je me leurre
    À l'heure qu'il est
    On doit pas être beaucoup
    J'ai du mal à dormir
    À côté de personne
    Et le silence m'attend
    Je l'entends qui résonne
    "Allez, salut bonsoir !"
    Le bruit quand je raccroche
    Et puis après plus rien
    Et puis après plus rien
    Et puis après Edition Spéciale, Edition Spéciale
    En grandeur nature
    Ses yeux sur le mur
    Et puis après Edition Spéciale, Edition Spéciale
    En couleur naturelle
    Mes envies d'elle
    Quand je me lève
    La fille dans la boîte de verre
    A déjà dit bonjour
    Mon pote est reparti
    Sur une autre colère
    Dans un autre discours
    Mais la nuit arrive vite
    À ceux qui ont peur d'elle
    Y a des choses qu'on évite
    Pas facile avec elle
    Après-midi tranquille
    Après-midi banal
    Et puis après...
    Et puis après...
    Et puis après...

    Truckin'
    Composer(s): James Griffin - Robb Royer
    Performer(s): Bread



    Truckin' down the highway
    Get outta my way
    Always in a hurry
    Always in between
    That's where you can find me
    Truckin' down the highway
    Sittin' in the cab of
    A ten ton machine

    Gettin' pretty tired of stoppin'
    In old run down cafes
    Some day I'm gonna find me a woman
    Rich enough to pay my way

    Gonna make some inroads
    Drivin' home a payload
    Truckin' down the highway
    Like you never seen

    Gettin' pretty tired of lookin'
    In truck stop cabarets
    Some day I'm gonna find me a woman
    Rich enough to pay my way

    Then you're gonna find me
    Truckin' down the highway
    Sittin' in the back of
    A long limousine

    Kiss Them For Me
    From the film "Kiss Them For Me" (1957)
    Composer(s): Lionel Newman; Carroll Coates
    Performer(s): The McGuire Sisters



    Kiss them, kiss them, kiss them for me

    Goodbye my honey though you gotta go now
    Least I know now I'm the one whose won
    So if the losers need some sympathy
    You can kiss them, kiss them for me

    It sounds kinda funny but I won't be jealous
    When you fellas, find you're far from home
    If you need a little femininity
    You can kiss them, kiss them for me

    There's safety in numbers, so it's quite okay
    Kiss the darling day, kiss the blues away
    It'd sure be the biggest thrill they'd ever had
    But I won't get mad, 'cause I won't be there to see

    Make hay while it's sunny so you love me
    Oh, please if you're lonely I will understand
    And you'll thank my lips for waiting faithfully
    When you kiss them, kiss them, kiss them for me
    Kiss them for me

    Edith And The Kingpin
    Composer(s): Joni Mitchell First release by: Joni Mitchell - 1975 Covered by multiple other artists



    The big man arrives
    Disco dancers greet him
    Plainclothes cops greet him
    Big man, small town, fresh lipstick glistening
    Sophomore jive
    From victims of typewriters
    The band sounds like typewriters
    The big man he's not listening
    His eyes hold Edith
    His left hand holds his right
    What does that hand desire
    That he grips it so tight

    Edith in the ring
    The passed-over girls are conferring
    The man with the diamond ring is purring
    All claws for now withdrawn
    One by one they bring
    His renegade stories to her
    His crimes and his glories to her
    In challenge they look on
    Women he has wanted grow old too soon
    He tilts their tired faces
    Gently to the spoon

    Edith in his bed
    A plane in the rain is humming
    The wires in the walls are humming
    Some song-some mysterious song
    Bars in her head
    Beating frantic and snowblind
    Romantic and snowblind
    She says-his crime belongs
    Edith and the Kingpin
    Each with charm to sway
    Are staring eye to eye
    They dare not look away
    You know they dare not look away

    Truckin'
    Composer(s): Rube Bloom - Ted Koehler
    Performer(s): Billy Cotton & His Band



    We had to get something new
    A dance to do up here in Harlem
    So someone started truckin'
    ???? as soon as the news got round
    Well the folks down town came up to Harlem
    And what they see, boy
    Everybody was truckin'
    It didn't take long before
    The highbrows were doin' it
    Park Avenue-in' it, all over town
    You'll see them shufflin', shufflin'
    Truckin' along
    Boy, it's spreadin' like a forest blaze
    It became a craze, thanks to Harlem nights
    Now, everybody's truckin'

    I Shot The Sheriff
    Composer(s): Bob Marley
    First release by: Bob Marley & The Wailers - 1973
    Covered by multiple other artists



    (I shot the sheriff
    But I didn't shoot no deputy, oh no!
    Oh!
    I shot the sheriff
    But I didn't shoot no deputy
    Ooh, oo-ooh)
    All around in my home town
    They tryin' to track me down
    They say they want to bring me in guilty
    For the life of a deputy
    For the life of a deputy
    But I say, yeah

    (I shot the sheriff
    But I swear it was in self-defence)
    I swear it was in selfdefence, yea-ea-eah!
    It was I who shot the sheriff
    (And they say it is a) capital offence
    (Oo-ooh)

    Sheriff John Brown always hates me
    For what, I don't know
    Every time I plant a seed
    He say, "Kill them before they grow"
    He say, "Kill them before they grow", now
    And so, yeah - and so

    I shot the sheriff
    But I didn't shoot no deputy
    (Oh no! Oh!)
    It was I shot the sheriff
    But I (didn't shoot no deputy)
    I didn't shoot no deputy
    (Oo-ooh)
    No-no-no-no-no!

    Freedom came my way one day
    And I started out of town, yeah!
    Then all of a sudden I saw sheriff John Brown
    He was aiming to shoot I down
    So I shot, yes, I shot - shot him down and I say, yeah

    By-by-by - I shot the sheriff
    Love, I didn't shoot no deputy
    (oh, no! Oh!)
    It was I shot the sheriff
    But I didn't shoot no deputy
    (Oo-ooh)

    Reflexes had the better of me
    And what is to be must be
    Every day the bucket goes to the well
    I say, one day the bottom a-go drop out
    One day the bottom will drop out

    And so - and so, read it!
    (I shot the sheriff
    But I didn't shoot no deputy
    Oh no, oh!
    I shot the sheriff
    But I didn't shoot no deputy
    Oo-ooh)

    Edge Of Seventeen
    Composer(s): Stevie Nicks First release by: Stevie Nicks - 1981 Covered by multiple other artists



    Just like the white winged dove... sings a song... Sounds like she's singing... whoo... whoo... whoo Just like the white winged dove... sings a song... Sounds like she's singing... ooo... baby... ooo... said ooo And the days go by... like a strand in the wind In the web that is my own... I begin again Said to my friend, baby... Nothin' else mattered He was no more... than a baby then Well he... seemed broken hearted... something within him But the moment... that I first laid... Eyes... on... him... all alone... On the edge of... seventeen Just like the white winged dove... sings a song... Sounds like she's singing... whoo... whoo... whoo Just like the white winged dove... sings a song... Sounds like she's singing... ooo... baby... ooo... said ooo I went today... maybe I will go again... tomorrow And the music there it was hauntingly... familiar And I see you doing... what I try to do for me With the words from a poet... and the voice from a choir And a melody... nothing else mattered Just like the white winged dove... sings a song... Sounds like she's singing... whoo... whoo... whoo Just like the white winged dove... sings a song... Sounds like she's singing... ooo... baby... ooo... said ooo The clouds... never expect it... when it rains But the sea changes colours... but the sea... Does not change And so... with the slow... graceful flow... of age I went forth... with an age old... desire... to please On the edge of... seventeen Just like the white winged dove... sings a song... Sounds like she's singing... whoo... whoo... whoo Just like the white winged dove... sings a song... Sounds like she's singing... ooo... baby... ooo... said ooo Well then suddenly... there was no one...left standing In the hall... yeah, yeah... In a flood of tears That no one really ever heard fall at all Oh I went searchin' for an answer... Up the stairs... and down the hall Not to find an answer... just to hear the call Of a nightbird... singing... come away... come away... Just like the white winged dove... sings a song... Sounds like she's singing... whoo... whoo... whoo Just like the white winged dove... sings a song... Sounds like she's singing... ooo... baby... ooo... said ooo Well I hear you in the morning... and I hear you... At nightfall... sometime to be near you... Is to be unable... to hear you... my love... I'm a few years older than you... are (I'm a few years older than you) my love Just like the white winged dove... sings a song... Sounds like she's singing... ooo baby... ooo... said ...

    Trucker's Paradise
    Composer(s): Jerry I. Allison
    Performer(s): Del Reeves



    There's a place called Trucker's Paradise just south of San Berdo
    And the drivers all stop in there for a laugh and a cup or two
    There's a woman waitin' tables and I'll tell you boys, she's nice
    They call her the fallen angel at the Trucker's Paradise

    She knows about the roads and the overloads
    And fillin' out those phoney logs
    And the story 'bout the time when a tire caught fire
    And burned up a truckload o' hogs
    If coffee goes up to a dollar a cup I suppose we'll pay the price
    Just to be with the fallen angel at Trucker's Paradise

    No need to ask her what her name is, she won't say
    But she's better off than most of us in tips and take home pay
    She used to be Miss Washington, almost Miss USA
    Then a big producer from Hollywood led her astray
    It turned out he was married and her heart turned cold as ice
    And that's why they call her the fallen angel of Trucker's Paradise

    No need to ask her what her name is, she won't say
    She's better off than most of us in tips and take home pay
    She used to be Miss Washington, almost Miss USA
    Then a big producer from Hollywood led her astray
    It turned out he was married and her heart turned cold as ice
    And that's why they call her the fallen angel of Trucker's Paradise

    And that's why they call her the fallen angel of Trucker's Paradise

    I shall sing, sing my song
    Be it right, be it wrong
    In the night, in the day
    Anyhow, anyway, I shall sing

    La la la la la la la la
    La la la la la la la
    La la la la la la la la
    La la la la la la la la la la la

    With my heart, with my soul
    For the young, for the old
    When I'm high, when I'm low
    When I'm first, when I'm slow, I shall sing

    La la la la la la la la
    La la la la la la la
    La la la la la la la la
    La la la la la la la la la la la

    I shall sing, sing my song
    Be it right, be it wrong
    In the night, in the day
    Anyhow, anyway, I shall sing

    La la la la la la la la
    La la la la la la la la la la la
