I'm Getting Better
Composer(s): Jim Reeves
Performer(s): Jim Reeves



I walked by the river
Where we said good-bye
Thought of your kisses
And didn't even cry 
I'm gettin' better, I'm gettin' better

I talked with an old friend
he asked about you
I managed to tell him
With just a tear or two
I'm gettin' better, I'm gettin' better

I know I'll never be the same 
I was standin' too close to the flame
But it doesn't hurt so much
To hear your name
I think I'll make it -- I'm gettin' better

Eve Wasn't Modest Till She Ate That Apple
(We'll Have To Pass The Apples Again)
Composer(s): Chas. McCarron; Albert Von Tilzer



Everybody loves a girl who's modest
Everybody loves a girl who's shy
When a girl is modest and retiring 
You can bet she'll always get by
Modesty began in the garden of Eden
In every book you'll find 
I'll admit it started in the Garden of Eden
But just bear this in mind

Just suppose that every girl was modest
Just suppose that every girl was shy
There would be no dust when days are windy 
To blow right in the naughty man's eye 
We'd have better business in our marriage market
Each man would surely mate 
When they start proposing they can see what they're getting
That's why some hesitate

Eve wasn't modest till she ate that apple 
That old apple to blame 
The minute that she ate it
she felt humiliated and hid behind the apple tree till darkness came 
If one little apple made the first girl modest
It ought to work now as well as then 
Once they only wore a leaf 
Clothes are getting just as brief
If every mother's daughter, wears dresses any shorter
We'll have to pass the apples again

Eve wasn't modest till she ate that apple 
That old apple to blame 
The minute that she ate it
she felt humiliated and hid behind the apple tree till darkness came 
If one little apple made the first girl modest
It ought to work now as well as then 
Way back in the olden days 
Men were fooled by girlie ways
For then we never knew them
but now we see right through them
We'll have to pass the apples again

I'm From Outer Space
Composer(s): Shel Silverstein; Even Stevens
Performer(s): Even Stevens



Well, I know this may surprise you, for you've known me for so long 
But I've tricked you with my music, and I've fooled you with my song
But my mission here is over, and I've watched the Human Race
And now the truth can be revealed, I'm from Outer Space

And my given name is Gilpage, and I'm really 2 foot 8
And when you think you've shook my hand, you've really slapped my face
And I'm the son of the seventh Zorb, from a distant dying race
Sent to see if it was safe, for us from Outer Space

But I'm leaving in the mornin' on a Q-Electra-Blue 
I'll hang a right at Jupiter on the far side of the Moon
And I'll stand before the Elders and they'll ask me of this place
And if the Earth could be a home for folks from Outer Space

But I'll tell 'em how you love to fight and how you love to war
And how you never seem to learn from mistakes you made before
And I'll tell 'em how you treat the old and what you teach the young
And how you've melted down your plows and turned them into guns

So it's been real fine to know you, but I'll soon be with my own
And I guess we'll take our chances, and leave your world alone
And perhaps we'll even meet again, in another time and place
But this ain't a healthy atmosphere for folks from Outer Space

So I'm leaving in the mornin' on a Q-Electra-Blue
And I'll hang a right at Jupiter on the far side of the Moon
And I'll stand before the Elders and when they'll ask me of this place
I'll tell 'em that there ain't no room for folks from Outer Space

Eve Of Destruction
Composer(s): P.F. Sloan
Performer(s): Barry McGuire



The eastern world, it is explodin’
Violence flarin’, bullets loadin’
You’re old enough to kill, but not for votin’
You don’t believe in war, but what’s that gun you’re totin’
And even the Jordan River has bodies floatin’

But you tell me
Over and over and over again, my friend
Ah, you don’t believe
We’re on the eve
of destruction

Don’t you understand what I’m tryin’ to say
Can’t you feel the fears I’m feelin’ today?
If the button is pushed, there’s no runnin’ away
There’ll be no one to save, with the world in a grave
Take a look around you boy
It’s bound to scare you boy

And you tell me
Over and over and over again, my friend
Ah, you don’t believe
We’re on the eve
of destruction

Yeah, my blood’s so mad feels like coagulatin’
I’m sitting here just contemplatin’
You can’t twist the truth, it knows no regulation.
Handful of senators don’t pass legislation
And marches alone can’t bring integration
When human respect is disintegratin’
This whole crazy world is just too frustratin’

And you tell me
Over and over and over again, my friend
Ah, you don’t believe
We’re on the eve
of destruction

Think of all the hate there is in Red China
Then take a look around to Selma, Alabama
You may leave here for 4 days in space
But when you return, it’s the same old place
The poundin’ of the drum, the pride and disgrace
You can bury your dead, but don’t leave a trace
Hate your next-door neighbor, but don’t forget to say prayers

And… tell me over and over and over and over again, my friend
You don’t believe
We’re on the eve
Of destruction
Mm, no no, you don’t believe
We’re on the eve of destruction

I'm Free From The Chain Gang Now
Composer(s): Lou Hersher; Saul Kelin
Performer(s): Johnny Cash
and multiple other artists



I got rid of the shackles that bound me and the guards that were always around me
There were tears on the mail mother sent me in jail
But I'm free from the chain gang now
Back home I was known and respected then one day I was wrongly suspected
So they put me in chains in a cold freezin' rain but I'm free from the chain gang now

All the years I was known by a number how I kept my mind is a wonder
And the bare prison cell that was one step from hell
But I'm free from the chain gang now
I prayed that the gossip will spare me when I return to the one I will marry
Like a bird in a tree I got my liberty and I'm free from the chain gang now

Eve
Composer(s): Jim Capaldi
Performer(s): Jim Capaldi



Eve, there's a woman in your eyes 
Ooo Eve you made me realize 
Eve give me a smile 
Ooo Eve you're only a child 

But it's making me turn my head all the time 
'cause looking at your face is like seeing the sunshine 

Eve I'll never let you down 
Ooo Eve I'll always be around 

And it's making me turn my head all the time 
'cause looking at your face is like seeing the sunshine 

Eve give me a smile 
Ooo Eve you're only a child

I'm Free
Composer(s): Pete Townshend
First release: The Who - 1969



I'm free, I'm free
And freedom tastes of reality
I'm free, I'm free
And I'm waiting for you to follow me

If I told you what it takes to reach the highest high
You'd laugh and say nothing's that simple
But you've been told many times before
Messiahs pointed to the door
No one had the guts to leave the temple

I'm free, I'm free
And freedom tastes of reality
I'm free, I'm free
And I'm waiting for you to follow me

How can we follow, how can we follow

Evangelina
Composer(s): Hoyt Axton; Kenneth Higginbotham
Performer(s): Hoyt Axton;
and various other artists



And I dream in the morning
That she brings me water
And I dream in the evening
That she brings me wine
Just a poor man's daughter
From Puerta Pinasco
Evangelina in old Mexico

There's a great hot desert
Down in Mexicali
And if you don't have water
Boy, you'd better not go
Tequila won't get you
Across that desert
To Evangelina, in old Mexico

Chorus

And the fire I feel for the woman I love
Is drivin' me insane
Knowin' she's waitin'
And I can't get there
God only knows that I wracked my brain
To try and find a way
To reach that woman
In old Mexico

And I met a kind man
He guarded the border
He said, "You don't need papers
I'll let you go
I can tell that you love her
By the look in your eyes, now"
She's the rose of the desert
In old Mexico

Repeat Chorus

And I dream in the morning
That she brings me water
And I dream in the evening
That she brings me wine
Just a poor man's daughter
From Puerta Pinasco
South of the border
In old Mexico
Evangelina,I miss you so
I miss you so

I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles
Composer(s): John William Kellette; James Kendis; James Brockman; Nat Vincent
Performer(s): June Caprice
and multiple other artists



I'm dreaming dreams, I'm scheming schemes
I'm building castles high
They're born anew, their days are few
Just like a sweet butterfly
And as the daylight is dawning
They come again in the morning

I'm forever blowing bubbles
Pretty bubbles in the air
They fly so high
Nearly reach the sky
Then like my dreams they fade and die
Fortune's always hiding
I've looked ev'rywhere
I'm forever blowing bubbles
Pretty bubbles in the air

When shadows creep, when I'm asleep
To lands of hope I stray
Then at daybreak, when I awake
My bluebird flutters away
Happiness, you seem so near me
Happiness, come forth and cheer me

I'm forever blowing bubbles
Pretty bubbles in the air
They fly so high
Nearly reach the sky
Then like my dreams they fade and die
Fortune's always hiding
I've looked ev'rywhere
I'm forever blowing bubbles
Pretty bubbles in the air

Eva
Composer(s): Silvio Rodríguez
Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez



Eva no quiere ser para Adán
la paridora pagada con pan
Eva prefiere también parir
pero después escoger donde ir
Por eso adquiere un semental
y le da uso sin dudas normal
Eva cambio la señal

Eva sale a cazar en celo
Eva sale a buscar semillas
Eva sale y remonta vuelo
Eva deja de ser costilla

Eva no intenta vestir de tul
Eva no cree en un príncipe azul
Eva no inventa falso papel
el fruto es suyo con padre o sin él
Eva se enfrenta al que dirán
firme al timón como buen capitán
y encoge hombros Adán

I'm Feeling You
Composer(s): Michelle Branch; Kara DioGuardi; John Shanks
Performer(s): Santana; The Wreckers



Sometimes, I imagine the world without you
But most times, I’m just so happy that I ever found you
It’s a complicated web, that you weave inside my head
So much pleasure with such pain
How we always, always stay the same

I’m feelin’ the way you cross my mind
And you save me in the nick of time
I’m ridin’ the highs, I’m diggin’ the lows
‘Cause at least I feel alive
I’ve never faced so many emotional days
But my life is good
I’m feelin’ you
I’m feelin’ you

You go, and then I can finally breathe in
‘Cause baby I know, in the end you’re never leavin’
Well we’re rarely ever sane, I drive you crazy and you do the same
But your fire fills my soul
And it wounds me up like no one knows

'Cause I’m feelin’ the way you cross my mind
And you save me in the nick of time
I’m ridin’ the highs, I’m diggin’ the lows
‘Cause at least I feel alive
I’ve never faced so many emotional days
But my life is good
I’m feelin’ you
I’m feelin’ you

I’m feelin’ the way you cross my mind
And you save me in the nick of time
I’m ridin’ the highs, I’m diggin’ the lows
‘Cause at least I feel alive
I’ve never faced so many emotional days
I’m feelin’ you
I’m feelin’ you
I’m feelin’ you
I’m feelin’ you

Oh I’m feelin’ the way that you cross my mind
And the way that you save me in the nick of time
Oh I’m feelin’ the way when you walk on by
I feel light, I feel love, I feel butterflies

I feel butterflies

Eva is 16 en heeft pijn
een overdosis kreeg haar bijna klein
een verhaal van drugs en pillen
van bedrog en van ontkennen en al zou Eva het willen
het lukt niet te ontwennen
Want ze is en blijft een junkie
't is haar dood maar ook haar leven
En niet ma, en ook niet pa die zo heel veel om haar geven
maar de dealer in de straat
die weet pas waar het om gaat
waar de hemel zich bevind de drugs haar leven, haar vijand en haar vriend 

Oordeel niet te snel
het is een kind van deze tijd
misschien gebeurd het morgen jou en mij geen ouder is er van bevrijd
het is een kind van deze tijd

Geef hun liefde geef hun aandacht
en zeg niet het niet te weten
't jou zoon, het is jou dochter
maar een kind zoals zo velen
want de dealer in de straat
die weet pas waarom het gaat
hij heeft tijd en hij heeft macht
en wacht 

Oordeel niet te snel
het is een kind van deze tijd
misschien gebeurd het morgen jou en mij geen ouder is er van bevrijd
het is een kind van deze tijd 

Oordeel niet te snel
Oordeel niet te snel
het is een kind van deze tijd 

misschien gebeurd het morgen jou en mij
geen ouder is er van bevrijd
het is een kind van deze tijd

I'm Falling In Love With Someone
Composer(s): Victor Herbert; Rida Johnson Young
Performer(s): Nelson Eddy
and multiple other artists



I've a very strange feeling I've ne'er felt before
It's a kind of a grind of depression
My heart's acting strangely, it feels rather sore
At Least, it gives me that impression
My pulses beat madly without any cause
Believe me, I'm telling you truly
I'm gay without pause, then sad without cause
My spirits are truly unruly

For I'm falling in love with some one, some one girl
I'm falling in love with someone head a-whirl
Yes, I'm falling in love with someone plain to see
I'm sure I could love someone madly
If someone would only love me

Yes, I'm falling in love with someone plain to see
I'm sure I could love someone madly
If someone would only love me

Ik houd de wereld in mijn hand 
Het glazen ei vol land en wolken 
Ik zal de hemel gaan bevolken 
Ik roep de varens uit het zand 
Ik schud de apen uit mijn mouw 
De spikkelpanters en de mieren 
Het blauw konijn, de krabbeldieren 
Ik strooi topaas azuur en dauw 
Ik weet nu dat ik alles kan 
Ik ken de dieren aan hun vel 
De vogels aan hun notenspel 
En ik geef namen aan de man 

De verf die ik morste vliegt plots'ling in brand 
't Palet valt vlammend uit mijn hand 
De aarde zwaait open, ik zie haar lopen 
In mijn eigen groene gras 
Wil jij soms wit wezen, dat ik je niet ken 
En dat ik niet almachtig ben 
Jij wilt me vergeten, mijn vruchten eten 
En me bedriegen met je man 

Hier in je lichaam van albast 
Zie ik de roze vlammen branden 
En wat je wilt valt in je handen 
Je hebt mijn wereld aangetast 
Daar sluipt de groengevlekte kat 
En heeft de merel al te grazen 
De leguaan gaat bellen blazen 
Kruipt op vijf poten over 't pad 
De vleesboom rijst het water uit 
En rinkelt met zijn glazen snaren 
Er zit in de kristalpilaren 
Een uil die schuine liedjes fluit 

Hier sta ik voor zot in mijn kamerjapon 
Ik dacht wel dat ik alles kon 
En ben ik verdwenen, dan komt op zijn tenen 
De engel met het grote mes

I'm fallin' for you, I'll never be blue
What can I say and what can I do
Darlin' I'm fallin' for you

My friends all declare that it isn't fair
For you to say you really don't care
Darlin' I'm fallin' for you

Although I'm a fool dear
If there should come a time
There's only one thing that I'll ever ask
If the maker will make you mine

For you're tops in my world
My love is unfurled
No I'm not a clown, my love is just down
Darlin', I'm fallin' for you

Darlin', I'm fallin' for you

Although I'm a fool dear
If there should come a time
There's only one thing that I'll ever ask
If the maker will make you mine

For you're tops in my world
My love is unfurled
No I'm not a clown, my love is just down

Danger or fear

To some good old fashioned love
That's what I've got plenty of, 'cause

You killed your European son
You spit on those under twenty-one
But now your blue car’s gone
You better say so long
Hey hey, bye bye bye

You made your wallpapers green
You want to make love to the scene
Your European son is gone
You’d better say so long
Your clowns bid you goodbye

It's not my way to love you just when no one's looking
It's not my way to take your hand if I'm not sure
It's not my way to let you see what's going on inside of me
When it's a love you'll not be needing, you're not free
Please stop pulling at my sleeve if you're just playing 
If you'll not take the things you make me want to give 
I never cared too much for games and this one's driving me insane
You're not half as free to wander as you claim
I'm easy, I'm easy 
Say the word, I'll play your game
As though that's how it ought to be 
I'm easy
Don't lead me on if there's nowhere for you to take me
If loving you will have to be a sometime thing
I can't put bars on my insides; my love is something I can't hide 
I still hurt when I recall the times I've tried 
I'm easy, I'm easy
Take my hand and pull me down
I won't put up any fight, because I'm easy
Don't do me favors, let me watch you from a distance
Cause when you're near, it's hard for me to keep my head
When your eyes throw light at mine, it's enough to change my mind 
Make me leave my cautious ways and world behind
I'm easy 
I'm easy

Well now she taught school when she moved west
