Everything's Up To Date In Kansas City Composer(s): Richard Rodgers; Oscar Hammerstein II Performer(s): Will Parker
I went to Kansas City on a Friday By Saturday I learned a thing or two But up 'till then I didn't have an idea Of what the mod'rn world was comin' to I counted twenty gas buggies goin' by theirselves Almost every time I took a walk An' then I put my ear to a bell telephone An' a strange woman started into talk What next! What next?
Everything's up to date in Kansas City They gone about as fer as they can go They went an' built a skyscraper seven stories high About as high as a buildin' orta grow Everything's like a dream in Kansas City It's better than a magic lantern show You can turn the radiator on whenever you want some heat With every kind of comfort every house is all complete. You could walk the privees in the rain and never wet your feet! They've gone about as fer as they can go They've gone about as fer as they can go!
Everything's up to date in Kansas City They've gone about as fer as they can go They got a big theatre they call a burleque For fifty cents you could see a dandy show! One of the gals is fat and pink and pretty As round above as she was round below I could swear that she was padded from her shoulder to her heel But then she started dancin' and her dancin' made me feel That every single thing she had was absolutely real! She went about as fer as she could go Yes, Sir! She went about as fer as she could go!

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 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

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, 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 )

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
