I'm Not Losing Sleep
Composer(s): David Bowie
Performer(s): David Bowie



Yes, I've read the morning papers
Telling me that you've made money
Do you think I'm gonna crawl, then think again

Though I'm dressed in rags, I'm richer
Though I eat from tins, I'm healthier
Though I live in slums, I'm purer than you, my friend

Too bad, I'm not losing sleep
(Too bad) I'm just counting sheep
(Too bad) I'm not losing sleep, my friend

Look around and see the friends
The ones you left, our friends deserted
See the guys that used to talk and drink with you

Don't look down your nose at me
'Cause I won't ask your sympathy
I won't be your yes-sir man for anything

Too bad, I'm not losing sleep
(Too bad) I'm just counting sheep
(Too bad) I'm not losing sleep, my friend

I would walk with you
Talk with you, drink with you
If you drop that halo that you're wearing on the ground

Too bad, I'm not losing sleep
(Too bad) I'm just counting sheep
(Too bad) I'm not losing sleep, my friend

I can't get my satisfaction
Knowing you won't get reaction
What makes me the big attraction anyway

It's too bad, I'm not losing sleep
(Too bad) I'm just counting sheep
(Too bad) I'm not losing sleep, my friend
Too bad, I'm not losing sleep
(Too bad) I'm just counting sheep
(Too bad) I'm not losing sleep, my friend
Oh, it's too bad, I'm not losing sleep
(Too bad) I'm just counting sheep
(Too bad) I'm not losing sleep, my friend

Everything Works If You Let It
Composer(s): Rick Nielsen
Performer(s): Cheap Trick; Enuff Z'Nuff



Everything’ll work out if you let it
Everything’ll work out if you let it
Everything’ll work out if you let it
Let it in your heart

(chorus 1)
Everything works if you let it
If you let it in your heart
Yeah everything works if you let it
If you let it in your heart

She is the girl of his dreams
He wants her, he thinks ’forget it’
He’s got a pain in his heart he feels like crying
So lonesome for love he feels like dying

But don’t stop the dream
He can fix it, I know he can
He’s the world’s world’s greatest
At the work that he does
When he moves on down the line

(chorus 1)

She is the girl of his dreams
He wants her, he thinks ’forget it’
He’d love to look inside her heart
And see if she agrees

But don’t stop the dream
He can fix it, I know he can
He’s good, he’s great
At the work that he does
And there’s magic in the air

(chorus 2)
Everything’ll work out if you let it
Everything’ll work out if you let it
Everything’ll work out if you let it
Let it in your heart

Good times, bad times don’t know what to do
Half the time and all the time
Don’t know if it’s true
Someday, somewhere know if it’s true
She’ll look inside her heart and decide
It’s really you..... whoah

(chorus 2)

(chorus 1) 

I’m Not Looking For An Angel
Composer(s): Billy Hughes
Performer(s): Ernest Tubb



I’m not looking for an Angle
‘Cause an angel I won’t find
But if I could find an angle
Then I could never be her kind

I’m not looking for perfection
‘Cause I’m imperfect as can be
I’m just looking for a someone
Who’ll be kind and true to me

One who’ll take care of my money
And save enough to get along
One who’ll be there when I need her
Not dressed up and out and gone

One who’s had a lot of livin’
One who’ll cast her lot with me
I’m Not Looking For An Angel
Just hunting one who wants to be

One who’s had a lot of livin’
One who’ll cast her lot with me
I’m Not Looking For An Angel
Just hunting one who wants to be

Everything That Touches You
Composer(s): Terry Kirkman
Performer(s): The Association



In my most secure moments, I still can't believe
I'm spending those moments with you
And the ground I am walking, the air that I breathe
Are shared at those moments with you
You love for real, you show the feel
Of everything that touches you
In the songs I've been singing, quite often a phrase
Comes close to the feeling of you
But I never suspected that one of those days

The wish of the song would come true
You love for real, you show the feel
Of everything that touches you
You are of gracefulness, you are of happiness
You are what I would guess to be most like
What I've been singing of
Love, love, love, love
In the songs I've been singing, quite often a phrase
Comes close to the feeling of you
But I never suspected that one of those days
The wish of the song would come true
You love for real, you show the feel
Of everything that touches you
Love, love, love, love 

I'm Not Lisa
((Dutch Version: Lisa Is Lisa (by Ann Christy) - 1976))
Composer(s): Jessi Colter
First release by: Jessi Colter - 1975
Covered by multiple other artists



I'm not Lisa 
My name is Julie
Lisa left you years ago
My eyes are not blue, but mine won't leave you
`Till the sunlight has touched your face

She was your morning light
Her smile told of no night
Your love for her grew
With each rising sun

And then one winter day
His hand led her away
She left you here drowning in your tears
Here where you've stayed for years
Crying Lisa, Lisa

I'm not Lisa 
My name is Julie
Lisa left you years ago
My eyes are not blue, but mine won't leave you
`Till the sunlight has touched your face

Everything That Glitters (Is Not Gold)
Composer(s): Bob McDill; Dan Seals
Performer(s): Dan Seals



Saw your picture on a poster in a café out in Phoenix
Guess you're still the sweetheart of the rodeo
As for me and little Casey, we still make the circuit
In a one horse trailer and a mobile home
And she still asks about you all the time
And I guess we never even cross your mind

But oh, sometimes I think about you
And the way you used to ride out
In your rhinestones and your sequins
With the sunlight on your hair
And oh, the crowd will always love you
But as for me I've come to know
Everything that glitters is not gold

Well Old Red, he's getting older, and last Saturday he stumbled
But you know I just can't bear to let him go
Little Casey, she's still growing, and she's started asking questions
And there's certain things a man just doesn't know
Her birthday came and you never even called
I guess we never cross your mind at all

But oh, sometimes I think about you
And the way you used to ride out
In your rhinestones and your sequins
With the sunlight on your hair
And oh, the crowd will always love you
But as for me I've come to know
Everything that glitters is not gold

But oh, sometimes I think about you
And the way you used to ride out
In your rhinestones and your sequins
With the sunlight on your hair
And oh, the crowd will always love you
But as for me I've come to know
Everything that glitters is not gold 

I'm Not In Love

I'm not in love, so don't forget it
It's just a silly phase I'm going through
And just because I call you up
Don't get me wrong, don't think you've got it made
I'm not in love, no-no
(It's because …)

(Be quiet, big boys don't cry)
(Big boys don't cry) 
(Big boys don't cry)
(Big boys don't cry)
(Big boys don't cry)
(Big boys don't cry)
(Big boys don't cry)

I keep your picture upon the wall
It hides a nasty stain that's lying' there
So don't you ask me to give it back
I know you know it doesn't mean that much to me
I'm not in love, no-no
(It's because …)

Ooh, you'll wait a long time for me
Ooh, you'll wait a long time

Ooh, you'll wait a long time for me
Ooh, you'll wait a long time
I'm not in love, so don't forget it
It's just a silly phase I'm going through
And just because I call you up
Don't get me wrong, don't think you've got it made

I'm not in love, I'm not in love …

Everything Stops For Tea
Composer(s): Al Goodhart; Al Hoffman; Maurice Sigler
Performer(s): Jack Buchanan; John Baldry; 
Graham Dalby; Pasadena Roof Orch.



Every nation in creation has its favourite drink
France is famous for its wine, it's beer in Germany
Turkey has its coffee and they serve it blacker than ink
Russians go for vodka and England loves its tea

Oh, the factories may be roaring
With a boom-a-lacka, zoom-a-lacka, wee
But there isn't any roar when the clock strikes four
Everything stops for tea

Oh, a lawyer in the courtroom
In the middle of an alimony plea
Has to stop and help 'em pour when the clock strikes four
Everything stops for tea

It's a very good English custom
Though the weather be cold or hot
When you need a little pick-up, you'll find a little tea cup
Will always hit the spot

You remember Cleopatra
Had a date to meet Mark Anthony at three
When he came an hour late she said "You'll have to wait"
For everything stops for tea

Oh, they may be playing football
And the crowd is yelling "Kill the referee!"
But no matter what the score, when the clock strikes four
Everything stops for tea

Oh, the golfer may be golfing
And is just about to make a hole-in-three
But it always gets them sore when the clock yells "four!"
Everything stops for tea

It's a very good English custom
And a stimulant for the brain
When you feel a little weary, a cup'll make you cheery
And it's cheaper than champagne

Now I know just why Franz Schubert
Didn't finish his unfinished symphony
He might have written more but the clock struck four
And everything stops for tea 

I'm Not Gonna Let It Bother Me Tonight
Composer(s): Buddy Buie; Dean Daughtry; Robert Nix
Performer(s): Atlanta Rhythm Section



I picked up the paper this morning
And read all the daily blues
The world is one big tragedy 
I wonder what I can do

About all the pain and injustice
About all of the sorrow
We're living in a danger zone
The world could end tomorrow

But I'm not gonna let it bother me tonight
I'm not gonna let it bother me tonight
Tomorrow I might go as far as suicide
But I won't let it bother me tonight

Life on the street is a jungle
A struggle to keep up the pace
I just can't beat that old dog eat dog
The rats keep winning the rat race

But I'm not gonna let it bother me tonight
I'm not gonna let it bother me tonight
The world is in an uproar and I see no end in sight
But I won't let it bother me tonight

I'm not gonna let it bother me tonight
Tomorrow I might go as far as suicide
But I won't let it bother me tonight

Lord, Lord, Lord
We got nothing but trouble
I've done all I can do today
So bartender pour me a double, right now

But I'm not gonna let it bother me tonight
I'm not gonna let it bother me tonight
The world is in an uproar and I see no end in sight
But I won't let it bother me tonight

I'm not gonna let it bother me tonight
No I'm not gonna let it bother me tonight
Tomorrow I might go as far as suicide
But I will not let it bother me tonight

Everything Possible
Composer(s): Fred Small
Performer(s): Shaina Noll;
and various other artists



We have cleared off the table, the leftovers saved
Washed the dishes and put them away
I have told you a story and tucked you in tight
At the end of your knockabout day
As the moon sets its sails to carry you to sleep
Over the midnight sea
I will sing you a song no one sang to me
May it keep you good company

Chorus:
You can be anybody you want to be
You can love whomever you will
You can travel any country where your heart leads
And know I will love you still
You can live by yourself, you can gather friends around
You can choose one special one
And the only measure of your words and your deeds
Will be the love you leave behind when you're done

There are girls who grow up strong and bold
There are boys quiet and kind
Some race on ahead, some follow behind
Some go in their own way and time
Some women love women, some men love men
Some raise children, some never do
You can dream all the day never reaching the end
Of everything possible for you

Don't be rattled by names, by taunts, by games
But seek out spirits true
If you give your friends the best part of yourself
They will give the same back to you

Chorus 

I'm Not Getting Any Better
Composer(s): Holland Dozier; Brian Holland
Performer(s): Freda Payne



I lost my sunshine in a cloudy sky
I threw forever away when I said goodbye
I went away hoping to find someone
Someone to give me peace of mind
But still, ever constant, ever true
Is the love and memory I have for you

Here it comes again...those memories...
Pounding and pounding inside my mind
Like a shadow, you dance through my mind
And disappear into lost time

I'm not getting any better
Time has hurt me more
Oh no
I'm not getting any better
My love is greater than before

I'm cursed with this need for you
Can't get over making plans for two
The pain your memory brings, I can't endure
I thought tomorrow would bring a cure
Can't live without you, you are my life
(You are my life, you are my life, can't live without you)

I'm not getting any better
Time has hurt me more (time has hurt me more)
Oh no (no no)
I'm not getting any better
My love is greater than before (greater than before)

I'm like a child who's lost from home
With no experience to face this world alone
I fall and stumble trying to regain
Those pleasures that once spoke your name
Can't live without you, you are my life
(You are my life, you are my life, can't live without you)

I'm lost in a sea of despair
I'm on a downhill journey going nowhere
I'm not strong enough to accept this change
Life seems so unreal, so different, so strange

I still need you...I still love you...

Can't live without you, you are my life
(You are my life, you are my life, can't live without you)

I'm not getting any better
Time has hurt me more
Oh no
I'm not getting any better
My love is greater than before

Your memory is all around me
You're in every passing face I see
I'm like a poet without rhyme
Like a clock that's run out of time
Can't live without you, you are my life
(You are my life, you are my life, can't live without you)

(I'm not getting any better
Oh no, no no no no no no
I'm not getting any better
Oh no, no no no no no no)

(Without you, I can't live without you)

Everything Old Is New Again

Performer(s: Peter Allen; Laurie Bower; 
Hugh Jackman; Anne Murray; Mike Vax



I'm happy to be here...
It's been awhile since I've performed for you dear
I'm as nasty as I've always been
'Cause everything old is new again

I'm Hattie, still Batty...
The folks remember me in Cincinnati
I'm as wicked as I was back then
'Cause everything old is new again
 
Got out my black cape, my boots, and my broom
Let's get down and liven up this tune
Come join the lady you thought was long gone
She is back still going strong
Don't throw the past away
you might need it some rainy day
Dreams can come true again
When everything old is new again
 
Got out my black cape, my boots, and my broom
Let's get down and liven up this tune
Come join the lady you thought was long gone
She is back still going strong
Don't throw the past away
you might need it some rainy day
Dreams can come true again
When everything old is new again
 
I said, when everything old is new again! 

I'm Not At All In Love
Composer(s): Richard Adler; Jerry Ross
Performer(s): Janis Paige
and multiple other artists



Babe: "Love, are you nuts?"
Girls: "Some people can't tell when it hits 'em!"

Babe:
All you gotta do is say hello to a man
And they've got you whispering in his ear

All you gotta is be Polite with him
And they've got you spending the night with HIM

If there's a guy you merely have a bicker with
They've got you setting the wedding date

It seems they've just gotta have some dirt
To bend your ear with

So before you start
I hear with...state

I'm not, at all in love, not at all in love, not I!
Not a bit
Not a might
Though I'll admit he's quite a hunk a guy

But he's not, my cup of tea, not my cup of tea, not he!
Not an ounce
Not a pinch
He's just an inch, too sure of himself for me

Girl: Well of course you've noticed his manly physique and that look in his eye
Girl: Well I'm sure he can cut almost any man out of size!
Girl: He must he as fierce as a tiger when he's mad
Girl: And I'll bet he cries like a little boy when he's sad

Babe: But I'm not at all in love, not at all in love not I!
Not a straw
Not a hair
I don't care if he's as strong as a lion
Or if he has the rest of you sighing
You may be sold but this girl aint buying!!
I'm not at all in love!

Girls: She's not at all in love, not at all in love, oh no

Babe: Not a pin, not a crumb

Girls: Must be the summer heat that gives her that glow
Cuz she's not at all in love, not at all in love, she cries!

Babe: Not a snip, not a bite
Girls: Must be the light from the ceiling shining there in her eyes
He's young and handsome, and smart, and we can't get over it

Babe: but this ladies heart he doesn't effect a bit

Girls: It's easy to see that her daffy grin is a grin she always wears
And she's breathless because she ran up a flight of stairs!

Girls: "obviously"
"naturally"
"Certainly"
"naturally"
"Certainly"
Ha!
She's not at all in love, not at all in love, not she

Babe: No I'm not!

Girls: Not a dot

Babe: Not a touch

Girls: No not much

Babe: When I fall in love, there will be no doubt about it
Cuz you will know by the way that I shout it

Girls (softly): Your shouting

Babe (softly): I haven't fallen

Girls: she hasn't fallen

Babe: I'm not at all in love!
Girls( pick up when she says at): She's not at all in love!

Everything Must Change
Composer(s): Bernard Ighner
Performer(s): Quincy Jones;
and various other artists



Everything must change
Nothing stays the same
Everyone must change
No one stays the same

The young become the old
And mysteries do unfold
Cause that's the way of time
Nothing and no one goes unchanged

There are not many things in life
You can be sure of
Except rain comes from the clouds
Sun lights up the sky
And hummingbirds do fly

Winter turns to spring
A wounded heart will heal
But never much too soon
Yes everything must change

The young become the old
And mysteries do unfold
Cause that's the way of time
Nothing and no one goes unchanged

There are not many things in life
You can be sure of
Except rain comes from the clouds
Sun lights up the sky
And butterflies do fly

Rain comes from the clouds
Sun lights up the sky
And music
And music
Makes me cry 

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

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!
