I'm Not Afraid Of Life
Composer(s): Douglas Colvin
First release by: The Ramones - 1984
Covered by multiple other artists



I am not afraid of life
Of the poor man's struggle
Of the killer's knife
I am not afraid of life
Of an insane rage
Of the minimum wage
I am not afraid of life

I am not afraid of life
I am not afraid of life

But I see an old lady with a shopping bag
And I wonder is life a drag

I am not afraid of life
But it hurts so bad
I feel so mad
No one see the truth
There's nothing to gain
A life goes down the drain
Don't want to die at an early age

I am not afraid of life
I am not afraid of life

But I see a street crazy shivering with cold
Is it a crime to be old

There's the threat of the nuclear bomb
We know it's wrong
We know it's wrong
Is there a chance for peace
Will the fighting ever cease
Mankind's almost out of luck
A maniac could blow us up

I am not afraid of life
I am not afraid of life

But I get down on my knees and I pray
Is there hope for the world today

Everything Is Fresh Today ((aka The Raspberry Song (The Goons))
Composer(s): Gunn
Performer(s): Jack Hodges



In a little town where I belong
There's a most accomplished fellow
He's the leader of the village choir
And his voice is warm and mellow

He drives a fruit cart around the street
And everybody knows it
He doesn't sing or rave about his fruit
He simply blows it

He's doing it all day long
It's better than any song
Though it isn't very pretty
You've got to admit it's cute
So, all together, let it go
Eat more fruit

It's certainly come to stay
It's a treat to hear him say
Hey, fruit's in season, plenty berries
Apples, plums and the old raspberries
Everything is fresh today

Every friday night when work is done
He never wastes a minute
To the village hall he hurries 'round
Where he sings just like a linnet

To hear him blow a melody
It's great, you can't deny it
And if you've nothing else to do
I'd like you all to try it

Get ready and do it now
It's easy when you know how
Though it isn't very pretty
You've got to admit it's cute
So, all together, let it go
Eat more fruit

It's certainly come to stay
It's a treat to hear him say
Hey, do-te-la-so-fa-me-re-do
Everything is fresh today

It's certainly come to stay
It's a treat to hear him say
Hey, fruit's in season, plenty berries
Apples, plums and the old raspberries
Everything is fresh today 

Everything Is Broken
Composer(s): Bob Dylan
Performer(s): Bob Dylan;
and various other artists



Broken lines, broken strings
Broken threads, broken springs
Broken idols, broken heads
People sleeping in broken beds
Ain't no use jiving
Ain't no use joking
Everything is broken

Broken bottles, broken plates
Broken switches, broken gates
Broken dishes, broken parts
Streets are filled with broken hearts
Broken words never meant to be spoken
Everything is broken

Seem like every time you stop and turn around
Something else just hit the ground

Broken cutters, broken saws
Broken buckles, broken laws
Broken bodies, broken bones
Broken voices on broken phones
Take a deep breath, feel like you're chokin'
Everything is broken

Every time you leave and go off someplace
Things fall to pieces in my face

Broken hands on broken ploughs
Broken treaties, broken vows
Broken pipes, broken tools
People bending broken rules
Hound dog howling, bull frog croaking
Everything is broken 

I'm Not Afraid
Composer(s): Roger Hodgson
Performer(s): Roger Hodgson



Oh what a way to go, we're goin' down slow
We're movin' to the rhythm, we're letting it flow
We're steppin' out of time, it's freaking your mind
We're livin' in the body, and we're doin' just fine

Tell me, tell me that you love me
Tell me, where's you milk and honey
You know we're doin' alright

Well round and round we go, we're goin' down slow
We're shakin' to the rhythm, we're letting it flow
We're not afraid of time, it imprisons your mind
We're livin' in the body, and we're doin' just fine

Tell me, tell me that you love me
Tell me, where's you milk and honey
You know we're doin' alright

Tell me, tell me that you love me
Tell me, where's you milk and honey
You know we're doin' alright

I'm not afraid of nothing, I'm not afraid to cry
I'm not afraid to live, I'm not afraid to love, I'm not afraid to die
I'm not afraid of laughter, I'm not afraid of tears
I'm not afraid to look, I'm not afraid to learn, I'm not afraid to hear
I'm not afraid of darkness, I'm not afraid of night
I'm not afraid to win, I'm not afraid to lose, I'm not afraid to fight
I'm not afraid of anger, I'm not afraid of war
I'm not afraid to live, I'm not afraid to die, I'm not afraid at all
'Cause it's a time for singing, and it's a time to dance
And it's a time to run, and it's a time to jump, and it's a time to chance
And it's a time for giving, and it's a time to share
And it's a time to choose, and it's a time to do, and it's a time to dare

Everything Is Beautiful
Composer(s): Ray Stevens
Performer(s): Ray Stevens;
and various other artists



Jesus loves the little children
All the children of the world
Pretty yellow black and white
They are precious in his sight
Jesus loves the little children of the world

Everything is beautiful
in it's own way
like a starry summer night
on a snow covered winter's day
And everybody's beautiful
In an own way
Under god's heaven
The world's gonna find a way

There is none so blind
As he who will not see
We must not close up minds
We must let our thoughts be free

Every hour that passes by
You know the world gets a little bit older
It's time to realize
That people lies
in the eyes of the beholder

Everything is beautiful

We shouldn't care about the length of his hair
Of the color of his skin
Don't worry about what shows from without
But the love that lives within

We're gonna get old again now
Everything is gonna work out fine
Just take a little time to the calm good side my friend
And spittle in out in your mind
Everything is beautiful 

I'm Not A Know-It-All
Composer(s): Buddy Kaye; Fred Spielman
Performer(s): Frankie Lymon & The Teenagers; Cecil Barber; Garland Jeffreys



I'm not a know-it-all
Don't know why the grass is tall
Don't know why there's morning dew
I only know that I love you

I'm not a know-it-all
Don't know why the raindrops fall
Don't know what's beyond the blue
I only know that I love you

With things that are not of you alone
I'm not so wise
And still I could write a book of my own
When I look in your eyes!

I'm not a know-it-all
Yet I know I'll run to you
The very moment that you call
I love you, know you know it all!

Everything I Own 
Composer(s): David Gates
Performer(s): Bread;
and various other artists



You sheltered me from harm
Kept me warm, kept me warm
You gave my life to me
Set me free, set me free
The finest years I ever knew
were all the years I had with you

Chorus:
I would give anything I own
Give up me life, my heart, my home
I would give everything I own
just to have you back again

You taught me how to love
What its of, what its of
You never said too much
but still you showed the way
and I knew from watching you
Nobody else could ever know
the part of me that can't let go

Chorus

Is there someone you know
you're loving them so
but taking them all for granted
You may lose them one day
someone takes them away
and they don't hear the words you long to say

Chorus
Just to touch you once again... 

I'm Nobody's Baby 
Composer(s): Benny Davis; Milton Ager; Lester Santley
Performer(s): Judy Garland



I'm nobody's baby, I wonder why
Each night and day I pray the Lord up above
Please send me down somebody to love
But nobody wants me, I'm blue somehow
Won't someone hear my plea and take a chance with me
Because I'm nobody's baby now

No, nobody's baby
And I've got to know the reason why
Last week I was walking down the street and met a boy and I said
"Hey, maybe I was meant for you"
But he only tipped his hat and shook his head
Kept on walking down the avenue

Oh, nobody wants me, I'm might blue somehow
Won't someone hear my plea and take a little chance with me?

Because I'm no-nobody's baby, I'm blue somehow
Won't someone hear my plea and take a chance with me?
There's no denying I'm crying
I'm lonesome on my own-some
I don't mean maybe, I'm nobody's baby!

Everything I Love

If I were Lord Byron
I'd write you, sweet siren
A poem inspiring'
A killer diller ooh
Too bad, I'm no poet
I happen to know it
But anyway
Here's a roundelay
That I wrote last night about you

You are to me everything
My life to be, everything
When in my sleep you appear
Fair skies of deep blue appear
Each time our lips touch again
I yearn for you, oh, so much again
You are my favorite star
My haven in heaven above
You are everything I love

Don't care how you do it, babe, just so you please
Take my kisses till your weary heart's at ease

I can give you kisses till you walk on air
Love me, honey, love me till I just don't care

You're my new ace in the hole
Aw, let me have ya now before the night is gone
Come on, flank this joint, so we can carry on
I can make it heaven where the shades are drawn
I'm no angel

Everything I Know About The Blues
Composer(s): Delbert McClinton;
Gary Nicholson; Benmont Tench
Performer(s): Delbert McClinton



I learned to swim when daddy threw me in the river
The Army taught me how to shine my shoes
The years have shown me that nothin' lasts forever
But everything I know about the blues
I learned from you

I thought I'd seen my share of bad luck and hard times
But nothin' set me up for what you put me through
I learned a lesson that will hurt me for a lifetime
'Cause everything I know about the blues
I learned from you

I know that promises are things that just get broken
And you can't trust a woman's tears
And if love is what you place your hope in
All your hope may disappear

In certain circles I've aquired a reputation
But I give credit where credit is due
Yes it's true I got a first rate education
'Cause everything I know about the blues
I learned from you 

I'm No Angel

Performer(s): Gregg Allman
and multiple other artists



No I'm no angel 
No I'm no stranger to the street
I`ve got my label 
So I won't crumble at your feet
And I know baby 
So I've got scars upon my cheek
And I'm half crazy 
Come on and love me baby

So you find me hard to handle, well I'm easier to hold
So you like my spurs that jingle and I never leave you cold
So I might steal your diamonds I'll bring you back some gold
I'm no angel

No I'm no angel 
No I'm no stranger to the dark
Let me rock your cradle 
Let me start a fire with your spark
Oh come on baby 
Come and let me show you my tatoo
Let me drive you crazy 
Come on and love me baby

So you don't give a darn about me 
I never treat you bad
I won't ever lift a hand to hurt you and I'll always leave you glad
So I might steal your diamonds I'll bring you back some gold
I'm no angel

No I'm no angel 
No I'm no stranger to the dark
Let me rock your cradle 
Let me start a fire in your heart
Oh come on baby 
Come and let me show you my tatoo
Let me drive you crazy 
Come on and love me baby

Everything I have is yours, you're a part of me
Everything I have is yours, my destiny
I would gladly give the sun to you

My love is yours alone
You came and captured a heart that was free
Now I've nothing left I call my own!
Everything I have is yours, for you're a part of me
Everything I have is yours, my destiny

Waiting at your beck and call
Everything I have is yours

I'm My Own Grandpaw (aka I'm My Own Grandmaw)
Composer(s): Moe Jaffe; Dwight Latham
Performer(s): Lonzo & Oscar
and multiple other artists



It sounds funny, I know
But it really is so
Oh, I'm my own grandpa

I'm my own grandpa
I'm my own grandpa
It sounds funny, I know
But it really is so
Oh, I'm my own grandpa

Now many, many years ago, when I was twenty-three
I was married to a widow who was pretty as could be
This widow had a grown-up daughter who had hair of red
My father fell in love with her, and soon they, too, were wed

This made my dad my son-in-law and changed my very life
My daughter was my mother, cause she was my father's wife
To complicate the matter, even though it brought me joy
I soon became the father of a bouncing baby boy

My little baby then became a brother-in-law to Dad
And so became my uncle, though it made me very sad
For if he was my uncle, then that also made him brother
Of the widow's grown-up daughter, who, of course, was my stepmother

Father's wife then had a son who kept him on the run
And he became my grandchild, for he was my daughter's son
My wife is now my mother's mother, and it makes me blue
Because, although she is my wife, she's my grandmother, too

Now if my wife is my grandmother, then I'm her grandchild
And everytime I think of it, it nearly drives me wild
For now I have become the strangest case you ever saw
As husband of my grandmother, I am my own grandpa!

I'm my own grandpa
I'm my own grandpa
It sounds funny, I know, but it really is so
Oh, I'm my own grandpa

John Paul Jones; Albert Lee;

Well, I can't get along no matter what I do
Well, we can't get along no matter what I do
Yes, everything I do is wrong, no matter what I do

Well, let's make it up baby, try it just one more time
Well, let's make it up baby, try it just one more time
Well, if we don't get together baby, won't be no fault of mine

Lay it down
Alright then

Well, it's been a long time baby, but it's all over now
Oh, it's been a long time baby, but it's all over now
We can't get together, baby, you were no good no how 

I'm Moving On
Composer(s): Yoko Ono
Performer(s): John Lennon



Save your sweet talk for when you score
Keep your Monday kisses for your glass lady
I want the truth and nothing more
I'm moving on, moving on you're getting phoney 
You didn't have to tell a white lie
You knew you scored me for life
Don't stick your finger in my pie
You know I'll see through your jive
I want the truth and nothing more
I'm moving, moving on we're getting phoney 
When you were angry you had love in your eyes
When you were sad you had dream in your voice
But now you're giving me your window smile
I'm moving on, moving on it's getting phoney 
Moving on! 

Everything Happens To Me
Composer(s): Tom Adair; Matt Dennis
Performer(s): Frank Sinatra;
and various other artists



I make a date for gown
you can bet your life it rains
Tried to give a party 
But the guy upstairs complains 
Guess I'll go through life 
catching colds and missing trains
Everything happens to me

I never miss a thing 
I've had the measles and the mumps
And everytime I play an ace 
My partner always trumps
Guess I'm just a fool 
who never looks before he jumps
everything happens to me

At first I thought that you would end this jinx for me
And love would turn the trick to end dispair
Now I just cant fool this head that thinks for me
I've mortgaged all my castles in the air
Well I've telegraphed and phoned
Sent an air mail special too
Your answer was goodby
There was even postage due
fell in love just once
And it had to be with you
Everything happens to me 

I'm Moody
Composer(s): Jack Fulton; Milton Samuels
Performer(s): Jack Jones



I'm moody, here I go again
Moody, why do I get so moody
At the sound of your name

Dreamer, am I only a dreamer
If I'm only a dreamer
Then my heart's unaware
It's a lost love affair

I tell myself there's no one else
Your heart is yearning for
Your lips are burning for
That we're not true
But then I panic at the thought
I may be losing you
And if I'm losing you
What will I do

I'm moody, here I go again
Moody, I will always be moody
It will cling like a vine
Till you say you are mine

Moody

Everything But You
Composer(s): Don George; Duke Ellington; Harry James
Performer(s): Duke Ellington;
and various other artists



You left me a horse from Texas
A house with installments due
A letter with lots of X-S
Everything but you

You left me some beans from Boston
A bicycle built for two
A memory to get lost in
Everything but you

Each day was so gay and so daring
I loved every breathtaking minute
for how could I know I was sharing
a kiss without a future in it

You left me a dream to room with
A coffee pot from Peru
A knife and fork to spoon with
Everything but you

You left me a horse from Texas
A house with installments due
A letter with lots of X-S
Everything but you

You left me some beans from Boston
A bicycle built for two
A memory to get lost in
Everything but you

Each day was so gay and so daring
I loved every breathtaking minute
for how could I know I was sharing
a kiss without a future in it

You left me a dream to room with
A coffee pot from Peru
A knife and fork to spoon with
Everything but you

Everything but you
You left me everything, everything but you 

I'm Mandy, Fly Me
Composer(s): Kevin Godley; Graham Gouldman; Eric Stewart
Performer(s): 10 cc



Just like a rolling stone 
I'm outside looking in 
But if your chance came would you take it 
Where on earth do I begin 
I'm Mandy fly me 
I've often heard her jingle 
It's never struck a chord 
With a smile as bright as sunshine 
She called me through the poster 
And welcomed me aboard 
She led me she fed me 
She read me like a book 
But I'm hiding in the small print 
Won't you take another look 
And take me away 
Try me Mandy fly me away 
The world was spinning like a ball 
And then it wasn't there at all 
And as my heart began to fall 
I saw her walking on the water 
As the sharks were coming for me 
I felt Mandy pull me up give me the kiss of life 
Just like the girl in Dr. No No No No 
Ah when they pulled me from the wreckage 
And her body couldn't be found 
Was it in my mind it seems 
I had a crazy dream 
I told them so but they said no no no no 
I found me on a street 
And staring at a wall 
If it hadn't have been for Mandy 
Her promise up above me 
Well I wouldn't be here at all 
So if you're travelling in the sky 
Don't be surprised if someone said Hi 
I'm Mandy fly me
