Three Time Loser Composer(s): Rod Stewart Performer(s): Rod Stewart
Stand here ev'ry night I'm wearin' my number but she said wear it touching up another fool In a jukebox job downin' blues in her leopard-skin anklehigh boots while I'm jackin' off readin' Playboy on a hot afternoon
I'm a three time loser Caught it up in Monterey shook it up in East Virginia now my friends say it's here to stay
How dare you have a party in a Chelsea basement when the poor excited Jezebel said come outside She felt me up and kissed my face put her dirty hands down in my pants She took all of my money left me naked by the silvery moon
I'm a three time loser Caught it up in Monterey shook it up in East Virginia now my friends say it's here to stay
Roll away, roll away, all of you women I don't think I need you anymore There'll be no more doctor's bills there'll be no more swallowing pills And I've found a woman that can witness that in blood out of me
I'm a three time loser Caught it up in Monterey shook it up in East Virginia now my friends say it's here to stay
I'm a three time loser Caught it up in Monterey shook it up in East Virginia now my friends say it's here to stay
Crystal Chandeliers Composer(s): Ted Harris First release by: Carl Belew - 1965
Oh the crystal chandeliers light up the paintings on your wall The marble statuettes are standing stately in the hall But will the timely crowd that has you laughing loud help you dry your tears When the new wears off of your crystal chandeliers
I never did fit in too well with the folks you knew And it's plain to see that the likes of me don't fit with you So you traded me for the gaiety of the well to do And you turned away from the love I offered you Oh the crystal chandeliers...
I see your picture in the news most every day You're the chosen girl of the social world so the stories say But a paper smile only lasts a while then it fades away And the love we knew will come home to you some day Oh the crystal chandeliers... When the new wears off of your crystal chandeliers
(I'm Just A) Redneck In A Rock & Roll Bar Composer(s): Bill Anthony; Bob Morrison Performer(s): Jerry Reed
Instrumental Intro
Well hello, Boogie Palace I'm sittin' here alone Listening to the music Of electric saxophones
Now, there ain't no sexy dresses And there ain't no beehive hair Just boys who look like girls Who look like boys, who look like Cher
I'm just a redneck In a Rock 'n' Roll bar I miss the fiddle And a steel guitar They're starin' at me Like a bug in a jar I'm just a redneck In a Rock 'n' Roll bar
I stopped in here to have a beer To ask some gal to dance But, I been waitin' patient now And I ain't had the chance
'Cause they ain't played any walzes Nothing like a Texas swing And with no belly rubbin' music How in the hell can I do my thing?
I'm just a redneck In a Rock 'n' Roll bar I miss the fiddle And a steel guitar They're starin' at me Like a bug in a jar I'm just a redneck In a Rock 'n' Roll bar
Well goodbye, Boogie Palace I'm a gettin' outta here Back to Country music And back to Lone Star beer
Where the women look like women And they dress so you can tell And the men are good ol' boys Just drinkin' beer and raisin' hell
I'm just a redneck In a Rock 'n' Roll bar I miss the fiddle And a steel guitar They're starin' at me Like a bug in a jar I'm just a redneck In a Rock 'n' Roll bar
[Fade to End]
I'm just a redneck In a Rock 'n' Roll bar I miss the fiddle And a steel guitar They're starin' at me Like a bug in a jar I'm just a redneck In a Rock 'n' Roll bar

Crystal balls (balls!) To fortune tellers Reveal a swarm of what-will-bees (zoom zoom zoom zoom) All in all (all in all) Like clocks and watches (Bong - Cuckoo!) We got time on our hands and destinies
I've heard the squeal of tyres around a corner I've broken down and I've been towed I've seen everything I ever hoped and dreamed for Squashed like a hedgehog in the road
Crystal balls (balls!) To fortune tellers Reveal a swarm of what-will-bees (zoom zoom zoom zoom) All in all (all in all) Like clocks and watches (Bong Cuckoo!) We got time on our hands and destinies
Just give me wide open spaces and clean living As long as I've a banjo to pluck I'll sing to the cactus and coyotes Hippity-hi, hippity-ho, que serarrr!
Crystal balls (balls!) To fortune tellers Reveal a swarm of what-will-bees (zoom zoom zoom zoom) All in all (all in all) Like clocks and watches (Bong - Cuckoo!) We got time on our hands and destinies

Now there are three steps to heaven Just listen and you will plainly see And as I travel on and things go wrong Just call it steps one, two and three
The formula for heaven's very simple Just follow the rules and you will see And as I travel on and things go wrong Just call it steps one, two and three
Step one, you find a girl to love Step two, She falls in love with you Step three, you kiss and hold her tightly Yeah! that sure seems like heaven to me
Crystal Ball Composer(s): Tommy Shaw Performer(s): Styx
I used to like to walk the straight and narrow line I used to think that everything was fine Sometimes I'd like to sit and gaze for days through sleepless dreams All alone and trapped in time All alone and trapped in time
I wonder what tomorrow has in mind for me Or am I even in it's mind at all Perhaps I'll get a chance to look ahead and see Soon as I find myself a crystal ball Soon as I find myself a crystal ball
Tell me, tell me where I'm going I don't know where I've been Tell me, tell me, won't you tell me And then tell me again My heart is breaking, my body's aching And I don't know where to go Tell me, tell me, won't you tell me I've just got to know
Crystal ball There's so many things I need to know Crystal ball There's so many things I've got to know Crystal ball
If you should see me walking Through your dreams at night Would you please direct me Where I ought to be I've been looking for a crystal ball To shed the light To find a future in me... To find a future in me...
Crystal ball There's so many things I need to know Crystal ball There's so many things I've got to know Crystal ball
(I'm Afraid) The Masquerade Is Over ((aka The Masquerade Is Over (Ambrose & His Orch.) - 1939))
Composer(s): Herb Magidson - Allie Wruble
Performer(s): Milt Jackson - 1958
and multiple other artists
My blue horizon is turning grey
And my dreams are drifting away
Your eyes don't shine like they used to shine
And the thrill is gone when your lips meet mine
I'm afraid the masquerade is over
And so is love, and so is love
Your words don't mean what they used to mean
They were once inspired, now they're just routine
I'm afraid the masquerade is over
And so is love, and so is love
I guess I'll have to play Pagliacci
And get myself a clown's disguise
And learn to laugh like Pagliacci
With tears in my eyes
You look the same, you're a lot the same
But my heart says "no, no, you're not the same"
I'm afraid the masquerade is over
And so is love, and so is love
I guess I'll have to play Pagliacci
And get myself a clown's disguise
And learn to laugh like Pagliacci
With tears in my eyes
You look the same, you're a lot the same
But my heart says "No, no, you're not the same"
I'm afraid the masquerade is over
And so is love, and so is love
J'irai Au Paradis ((Adapted from: Three Steps To Heaven (Eddie Cochran) - 1960)) Composer(s): Eddie Cochran - Bob Cochran - Eddy Mitchell Performer(s): Eddy Mitchell - 1964
J'irai avec elle au paradis, l'amour est plus fort que la vie On dit que là-haut les hommes sont égaux Et l'amour au Ciel n'a pas de prix
Si Dieu le veut, j'irai au paradis, l'Éternité sera mon amie Si le Dieu le veut, je partirai sans un bruit Et mon âme reposera au paradis
J'irai avec elle au paradis, les anges seront nos amis Le soleil brillera pour toi et moi, notre amour survivra au paradis
Sur Terre, la vie souvent n'est que misère Sur Terre, les hommes ont des curs de pierre Au Ciel, le repos est éternel, le vrai bonheur est ici au paradis Oui, j'irai avec elle au paradis
Do you always trust your first initial feeling
Special knowledge holds truth bears believing
I turned around
And the water was closing all around
Like a glove
Like the love that had finally, finally found me
Then I knew
In the crystalline knowledge of you
Drove me thru the mountains
Thru the crystal-like clear water fountain
Drove me like a magnet
To the sea
How the faces of love have changed turning the pages
And I have changed oh, but you... you remain ageless
I turned around
And the water was closing all around
Like a glove
Like the love that had finally, finally found me
Then I knew
In the crystalline knowledge of you
Drove me thru the mountains
Thru the crystal-like clear water fountain
Drove me like a magnet
To the sea

Three Ring Circus Composer(s): Bobby Eli - Vinnie Barrett Performer(s): Blue Magic; Barry Biggs
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls Children of all ages Welcome to the big top See the ferocious lions Thrill to the fabulous monkeys Laugh along with the hilarious clowns See them, life is a three ring circus
The whistle blows as he makes his rounds He's seen every town west of Mississippi He's just a face painted all in smiles Jumpin' up and down and makin' people happy
Though deep inside a shadow grows He could laugh and no one knows There's a lonely man inside
Life is a three ring circus All of the ups and downs of a carousel That I know so well Life is a three ring circus Just one little ride on a merry-go-round Goin' `round and `round and `round and `round and `round
He does the best like the minstrel did Just to please the kids and keep the people laughing But no one knows that beneath the clothes And his turned up nose lies a lonely beggar
He needs the love he spreads around Bu tin life he's just a clown Till they bring the curtain down
Life is a three ring circus All of the ups and downs of a carousel That I know so well Life is a three ring circus Just one little ride on a merry-go-round Goin' `round and `round and `round and `round and `round
He needs the love that can't be found But you're just too blind to see That the clown is really needy
Life is a three ring circus All of the ups and downs of a carousel That I know so well Life is a three ring circus Just one little ride on a merry-go-round Goin' `round and `round and `round and `round and `round
Goin' `round and `round and `round and `round and `round Goin' `round and `round and `round and `round and `round Goin' `round and `round and `round and `round and `round Goin' `round and `round and `round and `round and `round
Goin' `round and `round and `round and `round and `round Goin' `round and `round and `round and `round and `round
