Above The Clouds Composer(s): Jeff Lynne First release by: Electric Light Orchestra - 1976
I came along to see your face But the only thing I got from you Was telling me it's fantasy That you would always be with me I can tell you that it's true I'm waiting here But it's alright It's alright with me You better believe me now I guess it's like a mountain side You gotta climb it to the top Floating in a sea of dreams The only thing that you can see Is the view above the clouds I'm waiting here But it's alright Still it's alright with me You better believe me now
We Just Disagree Composer(s): Jim Krueger Performer(s): Dave Mason; and various other artists
Been away, haven't seen you in a while How've you been?, have you changed your style? And do you think that we've grown up differently? Don't seem the same, seems you've lost your feel for me
Chorus So let's leave it alone 'cause we can't see eye-to-eye There ain't no good guys, there ain't no bad guys There's only you and me and we just disagree
Ooh, ooh, ooh Oh, oh, oh
I'm goin' back to a place that's far away, how 'bout you? Have you got a place to stay? Why should I care? When I'm just tryin' to get along, we were friends But now it's "depend upon a love song"
Above And Beyond Composer(s): Maurice Gibb - Barry Gibb - Robin Gibb Performer(s): Bee Gees
Woman in a million to me I never loved so much Is it any wonder I'm alive No one ever knows what makes a Virtue or a vice Let it be the spell I'm under (These naked eyes) Let it be the rain and thunder comes
I go above and beyond the sun Some love never dies Story of our lives, ohh, Swear by the stars above And late at night I pray to myself That you and I got everything we need I'd give it all for you and me
Love is the earth and the wind And the fire and the soul Love is above and beyond any eye to behold Love is the key and the cause And it's makin' us whole
Made me a little crazy, but I Soon realize my fate Every little touch I'm paralyzed No one ever know what makes An angel in disguise Let me be the one to taste you Those naked eyes No pity if the city ever crumbles down
I go above and beyond the sun Some love never dies Story of our lives, ohh Swear by the stars above And late at night I pray to myself That you and I got everything we need I'd give it all for you and me
Love is the earth and the wind And the fire and we share Love is the force and the edge And it's ready for those who dare Love is above and beyond And I'm taking you there (And baby, I'll take you there)
I go above and beyond the sun Some love never dies Story of our lives, ohh Swear by the stars above And late at night I pray to myself That you and I got everything we need I'd give it all for you and me
Love is the earth and the wind And the fire and the soul Love is the key and the cause And it's makin' us whole Love is the force and the edge And it's yours if you dare Love is above and beyond And I'm taking you there (Baby, I'll take you there)
I go above and beyond the sun Some love never dies Story of our lives, ohh Swear by the stars above And late at night I pray to myself That you and I got everything we need I'd give it all for you and me
We Just Couldn't Say Goodbye Composer(s): Harry Woods Performer(s): Guy Lombardo; and various other artists
We thought that love was over That we were really through I said I didn't love him That we'd begin anew And you can all believe me We sure intended to But we just couldn't say goodbye
The chair and then the sofa They broke right down and cried The curtains started waving For me to come inside I tell you confidentially The tears were hard to hide And we just couldn't say goodbye
The clock was striking twelve o'clock It smiled on us below With folded hands it seemed to say "We'll miss you if you go"
So I went back and kissed him And when I looked around The room was singing love songs And dancing up and down And now we're both so happy Because at last we've found That we just couldn't say goodbye
People in love are funny Theyre mighty hard to explain One minute they quarrel Then theyre back together again Take my case for instance We had a little fuss Now listen, ladies and gentlemen Heres what happened to us
I said I didn't love him That we'd begin anew
But we just couldnt say goodbye The chair and then the sofa They broke right down and cried
I tell you confidentially The tears were hard to hide And we just couldn't say goodbye
So I went back and kissed him And when I looked around The room was singing love songs And dancing up and down And now we're both so happy Because at last we've found That we just couldn't say goodbye
Above All Composer(s): Lenny LeBlanc - Paul Baloche Performer(s): Michael W. Smith
Above all powers Above all things Above all nature and all created things Above all wisdom and all the ways of man You were here before the world began
Above all kingdoms Above all thrones Above all wonders the world has ever known Above all wealth and treasures of the earth There's no way to measure what You're worth
Crucified Laid behind the stone You lived to die Rejected and alone Like a rose trampled on the ground You took the fall And thought of me Above all
We Have No Secrets Composer(s): Carly Simon Performer(s): Carly Simon
We have no secrets We tell each other everything About the lovers in our past And why they didn't last We share a cast of characters From A to Z We know each other's fantasies And though we know each other better When we explore Sometimes I wish, often I wish That I never knew Some of those secrets of yours
The water was cold The beach was empty but for one Now you were lying in the sun Wanting and needing no one Then some child came You never asked for her to come She drank a pint of your rum And later when you told me You said she was a bore Sometimes I wish, oft times I wish That I never, never knew Some of those secrets of yours
In the name of honesty, In the name of what is fair You always answer my questions But they don't always answer my prayers And though I know you say That it's me that you adore Sometimes I wish, often I wish That I never, never, never knew Some of those secrets of yours Some of those secrets of yours Some of those secrets of yours We have no secrets Telling each other most everything now
About To Die Composer(s): Keith Reid - Robin Trower Performer(s): Procol Harum
About to die - the crowds applaud you About to die - they'll resurrect you Light a candle up in kingdom come Light the way for the saviour's son A candle burning bright enough to tear the city down
About to die - the crowds reward you About to die - their cheers ignore you Light a candle up in kingdom come Light the way for the chosen one No candle burned with fire enough to tear that city down
About to die - the crowds applaud me About to die - they'll resurrect me Light a candle up in kingdom come Light the way for the saviour's son
We Have A Date Composer(s): Al Hoffman; Alexander P. Kaeck; Dick Manning Performer(s): Andy Williams
We have a date to meet again remember It's been so wonderful to be with you Till we meet again please think of me 'Cause I will be thinking of you
We have a date to dream again remember We have a date to dream all through the night There's so much more that I have to tell you Next time I hold you tight
I'll call you every day my darling And I'll get through the week somehow Hate to break away my darling So long for now, so long for now
We have a date to love again remember It's been so wonderful to be with you Counting the moments until I see you That's what my heart and I will do
Counting the moments until I see you That's what my heart and I will do
About The Weather Composer(s): Howard Devoto - Dave Formula Performer(s): Magazine
The weathers variable - so are you Changes, changes But I cant do a thing about the weather Do you have your ticket! Can you foresee Changes, changes
Another time when we might be together! You have a broken window Through which the rain pours in my ear This weeks been all ears and edges Its getting like a career
A chain of events A change of heart A chain of events A change of heart I will study your change of heart in depth
The weathers variable ...
Now youre leaning on a fountain With the sunshine on your shoes You dislike the climate but you like the place I hope you learn to live with what you choose
We Gotta Stop Composer(s): J. Graffagnino; Eric Franssen Performer(s): Liliane Saint-Pierre
We gotta stop Denk er eens over Voor dat je zegt 'ik hou van jou' Horen wij wel bij elkander Ben je zo zeker van je trouw
We gotta stop Denk er eens over Voor dat w' elkaar veel pijn gaan doen Zo dat we eens kunnen zeggen Het is nog altijd net als toen
Ohohoh, al zo vaak heb ik gezien Anderen begingen ook die fout Net als wij waren zij te jong Na het jawoord kwam het berouw
We gotta stop Denk er eens over Voor dat je zegt 'ik hou van jou' Horen wij wel bij elkander Ben je zo zeker van je trouw Ben je zo zeker van je trouw Ben je zo zeker van je trouw Ben je zo zeker van je trouw
About Insomnia Composer(s): Mark Gane - Martha Ladly Performer(s): Martha and the Muffins
Waiting for the dawn for a dream A chance to lie down That confused imitation of life Eludes me now All routes of resistance impaired by your face Oh fugitive hope will I see you today?
In a tunnel, on a bridge or a viaduct We'll meet just by chance And in a moment or maybe just an hour or so Renew our romance
And if the charms of foreign places call For changing tableaux We will auction all our paintings And our furniture And take to the road ... Do you suppose?
The patterns on the wall never change but shadows grow long Vous n'assassinez de la realité C'est malheuresement As daylight disperses the spectres of night My nocturnal musings don wings And take flight
We Gotta Get You A Woman Composer(s): Todd Rundgren Performer(s): Todd Rundgren; Joe Walsh
Leroy, boy, is that you? I thought your post-hangin' days were through Sunk-in eyes and full of sighs Tell no lies, you get wise I tell you now we're gonna pull you through There's only one thing left that we can do
We gotta get you a woman It's like nothin' else to make you feel sure you're alive We gotta get you a woman We better get walkin', we're wastin' time talkin' now
Leroy, boy, you're my friend You say how and I'll say when Come and meet me down the street Take a seat, it's my treat You may not ever get this chance again That empty feeling's just about to end
Talkin' 'bout life and what it means to you It don't mean nothin' if it don't run through I got one thing to say, you know it's true You got to find some time to get this thing together
Talkin' 'bout things about that special one They may be stupid but they sure are fun I'll give it to you while we're on the run Because we ain't got time to get this thing together, 'cause we Got to get together with a woman who has been around One who knows better than to let you down Let's hope there's still one left in this whole town And that she'll take some time to get this thing together
We gotta get you a woman And when we're through with you We'll get me one too
About A Quarter To Nine Composer(s): Al Dubin - Harry Warren Performer(s): Al Jolson and multiple other artists
The stars are gonna' twinkle and shine This evening about a quarter to nine My lovin' arms are gonna' tenderly twine Around you around a quarter to nine
I know I won't be late 'cause at half past eight I'm gonna' hurry there I'll be waiting where the lane begins, waiting for you on needles and pins
And then the world is gonna' be mine This evening about a quarter to nine...
We Gotta Get Out Of This Place Composer(s): Barry Mann; Cynthia Weil Performer(s): The Animals
In this dirty old part of the city Where the sun refused to shine People tell me there ain't no use in tryin'
Now my girl you're so young and pretty And one thing I know is true You'll be dead before your time is due, I know

Now my girl you're so young and pretty And one thing I know is true, yeah You'll be dead before your time is due, I know it
Watch my daddy in bed a-dyin' Watched his hair been turnin' grey, yeah He's been workin' and slavin' his life away I know he's been workin' so hard

Aborigine Composer(s): Jarvis Cocker - Candida Doyle - Peter Mansell - Russell Senior Performer(s): Pulp
Starts so slowly, just a place to stay Somewhere warm where they can spend their days Air is stagnant and he feels unclean Hair hangs greasy and he smells obscene Something's happened and it's not so good broken bottles in the face of love Mottled flesh under the harsh strip-light Nylon sheets to keep them warm at night Once it's started it can never stop fills his head with a dark damp fog In the distance is a constant cry growing louder as the years go by Days get longer and he starts to drink spews his stomach in the kitchen sink Tells his children they should have respect Tells his wife that she's a nervous wreck
He hates his wife and he hates them all He hates his wife and he hates them all
Can't be bothered when it's all the same leave it long enough, it goes away In the meantime stomach turns to fat She tries to tell him but he can't have that She's only jealous and she's telling lies Standing naked in his flesh disguise It took him months to get her into bed now he's got her he just wants her dead She wants excitement and she needs romance all she gets are dirty underpants Stupid animal that can't know why something's wrong so someone has to die The wind is blowing and the rain falls down Sends his family on a trip down town Sees them die in a burning wreck Sees them burn, smokes a cigarette
He hates his wife and he hates them all He hates his wife and he hates them all
He knows he's finished but he can't stop now and he wants to end it but he can't see how and it's all in pieces, thrown it all away Oh, but he's not ugly, he just looks that way And he wants some quiet and he needs it now but the scream he's started's getting far too loud and he still pretends he does it just for now His day will come he'll lose it all somehow Killing time until his ship arrives been dead ten years but he's still alive and the time is wasted and the ship has sunk but he hasn't noticed and he comes home drunk and he's just dead weight, he'll never leave the ground He tries to stand but he keeps falling down and it's hard to know he doesn't count for much He's not a has-been, just a never-was Oh he hates his wife and he hates them all
He hates his wife and he hates them all Hates his wife Hates them all
We Got Paid By Cash Composer(s): Harold Reid; Don Reid Performer(s): The Statler Brothers
It started March of sixty-four, many years ago We were hired by Johnny Cash to open up his show Four boys, a worn out Cadillac with a road map on the dash For the next eight and one half years, we got paid by Cash He took us down to Nashville to Columbia studio Not knowing where we came from, they told us where to go But Johnny said "I like 'em! Don't you give them no trash" You see we were Johnny's little boys and we got paid by Cash We were there when June became Johnny's lovin' bride And we sang to him that mornin' our buddy Luther died And we were there when the son was born that filled them both with pride And we were there when John remembered God was on his side We watched him on the concert stage, we watched him write his songs And saw the things we had to do and the things that could go wrong And if we had to start again we'd do it in a flash 'Cause we learned more than we earned when we got paid by Cash Then came the time when our career demanded that we go And through some tears we all shook hands that last and final show All those years we never had a contract or a clash Whatever we may be today we owe it all to Cash We were there when June became Johnny's lovin' bride And we sang to him that mornin' our buddy Luther died And we were there when the son was born that filled them both with pride And we were there when John remembered God was on his side Now John will tell you there were years when times were good and bad But we can tell you they were some of the best we ever had Carl Perkins, and the Carters, and the Tennessee Three We were one big happy family and would have done it all for free don don don don don don ... don don ...
