Im on a see-saw You throw me up and you throw me down I dont know when Im here or there Those dreams that we saw You took them up and you knocked them down I dont whether you even care
First I was heaven-bound Then I found you turned round And as I hit the ground Gee, that aint right, you know that
Im on a see-saw You throw me up and you throw me down And altogether you dont prepare
Oh my, Im on a see-saw Oh, you throw me up and you throw me down Altogether you dont prepare

I'm Old Fashioned Composer(s): Jerome Kern; Johnny Mercer First release by: Fred Astaire & Nan Wynn - 1942 Covered by multiple other artists
I am not such a clever one about the latest fads I admit I was never one adored by local lads Not that I ever tried to be a saint Im the type that they classify as quaint
Im old fashioned, I love the moonlight I love the old fashioned things The sound of rain upon a window pane The starry song that April sings This years fancies are passing fancies But sighing sighs, holding hands These my heart understands
Im old fashioned but I dont mind it Thats how I want to be As long as you agree To stay old fashioned with me
Im old fashioned but I dont mind it Thats how I want to be As long as you agree To stay old fashioned with me
Everytime I See Him Composer(s): Tom Crain; Charlie Daniels; Taz DeGregorio; Fred Edwards; Charlie Hayward; James Marshall Performer(s): The Charlie Daniels Band
Thinks he's a toughguy Superfly Stays high Sneakin down the alleyway to make another buy
Talkin bout a big deal Big wheel Nothins real Wouldn't know the truth if it looked him in the eye
Sneakin out the back door Top floor Dirt poor You know the boys gonna get himself in jail
Living on the back street Concrete Fast speed Lost in the jungle with the tiger by the tail
Everytime I see him Everytime I see him Everytime I see him He's just barely getting by Everytime I see him Everytime I see him Everytime I see him He's down there getting high
Midnight siren Whats it mean Bad dreams Shiverin and shakin in the middle of the night
Down in a cold sweat In debt Upset Hidin in the back room to keep ot of sight
Walkin that tough walk Jivetalk Double cross Sneakin down the side street hidin from the sun
Makin them big plans Big man Be this man Gonna make a million but he never gets it done
Everytime I see him Everytime I see him Everytime I see him He's just barely getting by Everytime I see him Everytime I see him Everytime I see him He's down there getting high
Thinks he's a loverboy Super joy Tough toy Thinks he's kinda sexy but the ladies say he ain't
Nothing but a no class Jiveass Movin fast Wants to be a winner but the monkey says he can't
After hours nightspot Whatcha got Hot shot Gotta keep movin just to keep from going down
The boy won't ever learn Slow burn Overturn End up in a coffin there six feet in the ground
Everytime I see him Everytime I see him Everytime I see him He's just barely getting by Everytime I see him Everytime I see him Everytime I see him He's down there getting high
Everytime Composer(s): Eddie Jacobson; Olly Thomas; Dave Crane; Damien Green Performer(s): Butterfingers
Every time I clean my room I make another mess Every time I miss the bus Im late for a test Every time Im reincarnated its in the lowest form I leave my window open every time there is a storm Every time I have a hang over I have to go to work Every time I masturbate dry it tends to hurt Every time I pat a dog he bites me on the hand Every time I talk to aliens they dont understand Every time I skate I get another bruise Every time I get drunk I vomit on my shoes Every time I scratch the needle jumps Every time I drink milk it comes out in lumps Every time I freestyle I just talk shit Every time I catch the bus theres nowhere to sit Every time I catch the train Im hassled for a ticket Every time I bat in cricket first ball takes a wicket Every time Im drunk at a party in a toga I pull a damn hamstring to prove I do yoga Every time I eat I get a pain in my chest Every time I think its heartburn its cardiac arrest Every time I make a phone call waiting interrupts Every time I dump a load at someones house it wont flush Every time it wont flush it stains the ceramic If you ever see me happy its because Im manic
(Chorus) Born to fail Born to fail
Every time I give advice it comes out wrong Every time I get raided my lips are on the bong Every time I score I get shitty leaf I was living with another hobo until he heard me dis his chief But every time we smoke a joint I end up with the roach Every time I skip sport I get drilled by the coach Every time I play footy I get tackled in the dirt And I crack another rib and it really fucking hurts Every time I brush my teeth I find another cavity Every time I try to fly I discover gravity Every time I have a craving of were out of food Every time we spin the bottle Im the one who ends up nude Every time I give a girl an orgasm she fakes Every time I jam it in the condom breaks Every time I gamble I lose all my chips And every time I eat all bran I get the shits But every time I shit it takes about an hour And theres never any paper so I have to have a shower But every time I shower the towels already wet And its not wet with water but wet with cum and sweat Every time I pluck my pubic hairs to make my self attractive My dick gets sore and I fuck like a spastic Every time I write a song radio stations ban it Because when you play my records in reverse theyre satanic Worship Satan Worship Satan Worship Satan Worship Satan Worship Satan Worship Satan Worship Satan Worship Satan Every time I make a joke people take me serious Every time I go down on a girl shes on her periods Every time I drive a car a cop will pull me over But I say that Im someone else and that Im sober Every blind date turns out to be blind My looks are all I have and that is why I mind Every time I have the dream where Im at the school dance Every one is looking at me cos I dont have any pants Every time we play piggy in the middle Im the pig Every time we play tiggy Im the one whos it Every time I lick a toad I get worts on my tongue And every time I see a killer bee its when Im getting stung Every time I play scrabble I make the word AT Every wet fart leaves a stain where I sat Every time I fuck your mum she wants it in the bum And every time Im done its not because Ive cum Every time I crack onto a chick I pull my sack out Every time I try to suck my dick I put my back out Every time I catch a wave I hit a coral reef And every time I order vegetarian I get beef
(Chorus) x2 Born to fail (I get paid) Born to fail (a chick is not a vegetable)
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

Everythingll work out if you let it Everythingll work out if you let it Everythingll 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 Hes got a pain in his heart he feels like crying So lonesome for love he feels like dying
But dont stop the dream He can fix it, I know he can Hes the worlds worlds 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 Hed love to look inside her heart And see if she agrees
But dont stop the dream He can fix it, I know he can Hes good, hes great At the work that he does And theres magic in the air
(chorus 2) Everythingll work out if you let it Everythingll work out if you let it Everythingll work out if you let it Let it in your heart
Good times, bad times dont know what to do Half the time and all the time Dont know if its true Someday, somewhere know if its true Shell look inside her heart and decide Its really you..... whoah
