I'm On My Way To Mandalay Composer(s): Al. Bryan; Fred Fisher
One I love, far away, far away, far away Land of Love, Mandalay Mandalay, Mandalay Where the waving trees kiss the ocean breeze In a garden fair, 'mid the roses there I'm goin' to find someone who waits for me across the sea
All night long, by the sea, by the sea, by the sea Her love song Rings for me, rings for me, rings for me All the world will seem just a lovely dream And I'll never stray far from Mandalay I'll live for one who lives alone for me in days to be
I'm on my way to Mandalay Beneath the shelt'ring palms I want to stray Oh, let me live and love for aye On that Island far away I'm sentimental for my Oriental love, so sweet and gentle That's why I'm on my way to Mandalay I've come to say "Good-bye"
Evidence Of Love Composer(s): Steve Diamond; Chris Farron Performer(s): Gregg Allman
When I look for the love in your eyes You turn away And there's nothing as loud as the words We never say Look at us now, standing on the edge again Look at us now, it's not too late to try again I need some...
Evidence of love, to keep me going on Please show me some Evidence of love, and I'll be here I still believe we can see it through There's just so much, that I can do It doesn't make sense, without some evidence of love
There's a cold, cold look on your face Is it saying good-bye? 'Cause there's nothing as cold as the ashes When the fire has died Talk to me now, tell me what you're missing Talk to me now, I'll try and find your heart again I need some...
Evidence of love, to keep me going on Please show me some Evidence of love, and I'll be here I still believe we can see it through There's just so much, that I can do It doesn't make sense, without some evidence of love
Stand and fight Try to say what's on your mind, baby So much is on the line There's a chance we'll make it right
Look at us now, standing on the edge again Look at us now, it's not too late to try again I need some...
Evidence of love, to keep me going on Please show me some Evidence of love, and I'll be here
I'm On My Way To Dublin Bay Composer(s): Stanley Murphy Performer(s): The Peerless Quartet
Michael Shea he marched away with the Dublin Fusiliers And he left the town in cheers, but he left his girl in tears But in the rattle of the battle, Michael stood his test And he won a Sergeant's uniform and a medal on his chest He got a two month's furlough and he started on his way His Irish eyes a dancin' as the Boys heard him say
Goodbye! I'm on my way to dear old Dublin Bay That's why I'm feelin' gay For oh! I know sweet Molly-O My colleen, fair to see, is waiting there for me Her heart with love a bubblin' On Dublin Bay
Michael Shea reached Dublin Bay when the spring was in the air And he found his colleen fair, and he hugged her like a bear He took her down to Dublin town and Father John Malloy Tied a doublin' knot right on the spot for Molly and her boy Then on an Irish jaunting car beside her bold gossoon She learned to sing this chorus by the risin' o' the moon
Goodbye! I'm on my way to dear old Dublin Bay That's why I'm feelin' gay For oh! I know sweet Molly-O My colleen, fair to see, is waiting there for me Her heart with love a bubblin' On Dublin Bay
Goodbye! I'm on my way to dear old Dublin Bay That's why I'm feelin' gay For oh! I know sweet Molly-O My colleen, fair to see, is waiting there for me Her heart with love a bubblin' On Dublin Bay
Évidemment Composer(s): Michel Berger Performer(s): France Gall; Attila Bardoczy; Eva Fabian; Lara Fabian; Laurence Jalbert
Y a comme un goût amer en nous Comme un goût de poussière dans tout Et la colère qui nous suit partout
Y a des silences qui disent beaucoup Plus que tous les mots qu'on avoue Et toutes ces questions qui ne tiennent pas debout
Evidemment Évidemment On danse encore Sur les accords Qu'on aimait tant
Évidemment Évidemment On rit encore Pour les bêtises Comme des enfants Mais pas comme avant
Et ces batailles dont on se fout C'est comme une fatigue, un dégoût A quoi ça sert de courir partout On garde cette blessure en nous Comme une éclaboussure de boue Qui n'change rien, qui change tout
Évidemment Évidemment On rit encore Pour les bêtises Comme des enfants Mais pas comme avant Pas comme avant
Mets ton masque à gaz Sokolov Que tes fermentations anaérobies Fassent éclater les tubas de ta renommée Et que les vents irrépressibles Transforment abscisses et ordonnées En de sublimes anamorphoses
I'm On My Way Composer(s): Alan Jay Lerner; Frederick Loewe

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)
