After The Gold Rush
Composer(s): Neil Young
First release by: Neil Young - 1970
Covered by multiple other artists



Well, I dreamed I saw the knights 
In armor coming
Saying something about a queen
There were peasants singing and 
Drummers drumming 
And the archer split the tree 
There was a fanfare blowing 
To the sun 
That was floating on the breeze
Look at Mother Nature on the run 
In the nineteen seventies
Look at Mother Nature on the run 
In the nineteen seventies 

I was lying in a burned out basement 
With the full moon in my eyes
I was hoping for replacement 
When the sun burst thru the sky
There was a band playing in my head 
And I felt like getting high
I was thinking about what a 
Friend had said 
I was hoping it was a lie
Thinking about what a 
Friend had said 
I was hoping it was a lie 

Well, I dreamed I saw the silver 
Space ships flying 
In the yellow haze of the sun
There were children crying 
And colors flying 
All around the chosen ones
All in a dream, all in a dream 
The loading had begun
They were flying Mother Nature's 
Silver seed to a new home in the sun
Flying Mother Nature's 
Silver seed to a new home

What You Leave Behind
Composer(s): Brad Delp; Barry Goudreau
Performer(s): Delp & Goudreau; RTZ



It's a constant revelation
Ever changing over time
As we chart our destination
Take our places on the line
Were we put here for a reason
Part of someone's grand design
Or does the answer come from living
Taking one step at a time

And we build on our traditions
Taking hope in what we find
And we strengthen our positions
On what's been left behind

It's a constant education
In a world of give and take
Along the way sometimes we stumble
But we learn from our mistakes
Always looking for an answer
To find the reason in the rhyme
There's a million burning questions
And we keep looking for a sign

And some call on intuition
Some call on the divine
In the end it doesn't matter
It's what you leave behind

And some call on inner vision
Some call on the divine
No matter what the inspiration
There's always something on the line
So don't squander what you're given
Make the most of precious time
Life's not only for the living
It's what you leave behind

After The Glitter Fades
Composer(s): Stevie Nicks
Performer(s): Glen Campbell; Stevie Nicks



Well I never thought I'd make it
Here in Hollywood...
I never thought I'd ever
Want to stay...
What I seem to touch these days
Has turned to gold...
What I seem to want
Well you know I'll find a way 

For me...it's the only life
That I've ever known
And love is only one...
Fine star...away
Even though the living
Is sometimes laced with lies...
It's alright...
The feeling remains
Even after the glitter fades 

The loneliness of a one night stand
Is hard to take
We all chase something
And maybe this is a dream
The timeless face of a rock and roll
Woman...while her heart breaks
Oh you know...the dream keeps coming
Even when you forget to feel 

For me...it's the only life...
That I've ever know
And love is only one...fine star away
Even though the living
Is sometimes laced with lies...
It's alright...
The feeling remains...
Even after the glitter fades 

For me...it's the only life
That I've ever known
And love is only one fine star away
Even though the living
Is sometimes laced with lies
It's alright...
The feeling remains
Even after the glitter fades
Oh you know...the feeling remains
Even after the glitter fades
Oh the feeling remains...
Even after the glitter...fades

After The Fox
Composer(s): Hal David - Burt Bacharach
First release by: The Hollies & Peter Sellers - 1966



Who is the fox - I am the fox 
Who are you - I am me 
Who is me - Me is a thief 
You'll bring your poor, poor mother grief 

So after the fox, after the fox 
Off to the hunt with chains and locks 
So after the fox, after the fox 
Someone is always chasing after the fox 

Where is the gold - It's on the truck 
Where's the truck - I won't tell 
You must tell - Then I will lie 
You'll make your poor, poor sister cry 

So after the fox, after the fox 
Off to the hunt with chains and locks 
So after the fox, after the fox 
Someone is always chasing after the fox 

Why do you steal - So I'll be rich 
Why not work - Work is hard 
You'll be caught - I never fail 
All little crooks wind up in jail - Not me not me 

So after the fox, after the fox 
Off to the hunt with chains and locks 
So after the fox, after the fox 
Someone is always chasing after the fox 

After the fox 

After the fox

After the fox

What Would I Be?
Composer(s): Jackie Trent
Performer(s): Petula Clark; Val Doonican



The angry voices raised in vain
The feeling deep inside of pain
Sometimes I think it's not worthwhile
Until once more I see you smile
What would I be without your love I'll never know
If I were free what could I do where would I go
I'm only me and I love you so

Unspoken thoughts we both regret
Forgive the past but can't forget
Sometimes I just don't understand
Until once more I hold your hand
What would I be without your love I'll never know
If I were free what could I do where would I go
I'm only me and I love you so

Sometimes it seems I can't go on
Sometimes it feels that everything we had is gone

But though there may be many tears
We'll stay together through the years
You only have to love me too
And I need no one else but you
What would I be without your love I'll never know
If I were free what could I do where would I go
I'm only me and I love you so

What would I be without your love I'll never know
If I were free what could I do where would I go
I'm only me and I love you so

After The Fire Is Gone
Composer(s): L.E. White
Performer(s): Loretta Lynn
and multiple other artists



Love is where you find it
When you find no love at home
And there's nothin' cold as ashes
After the fire is gone

The bottle is almost empty
The clock just now struck ten
Darlin' I had to call you
To our favorite place again

We know it's wrong for us to meet
But the fire's gone out at home
And there's nothin' cold as ashes
After the fire is gone

Love is where you find it
When you find no love at home
And there's nothin' cold as ashes
After the fire is gone

Your lips are warm and tender
Your arms hold me just right
Sweet words of love you remember
That the one at home forgot

Each time we say is the last time
But we keep hangin' on
And there's nothin' cold as ashes
After the fire is gone

Love is find it
When you find no love at home
And there's nothin' cold as ashes
After the fire is gone

What Will I Do Without You
Composer(s): Leon Russell
Performer(s): Leon Russell



I want to sing you this sad song
And I just want you to know
That this music that you hear is just for you
And when you hear this melody
Just know it's you I'm talking to
And tell me what will I do without you?

Oh, darlin', please don't judge me
Just remember when you loved me
Before you broke my heart and went away
Now what can I say in my defense
Where you would believe it's true
Well tell me, what will I do without you?

Darlin', it's so hard to forget you
With all this pain inside my heart
I remember the night I met you
I'm wondering why we're so far apart?

Oh, darlin', please don't judge me
Just remember when you loved me
Before you broke my heart and went away
Now what can I say in my defense
Where you would believe it's true
Well, tell me, what will I do without you?
Yes, tell me what will I do without you?

After The Fall
Composer(s): Steve Perry - Jonathan Cain
Performer(s): Journey



So now love is gone
And I can't go on
Love is gone
I want to say - now it's just to late
Waited far too long

Should'a told you then I knew
Should'a told you right from the start - yeah
But the words didn't come out right
So I'll tell you straight from my heart

You meant more to me
Then I let you see
You held on somehow
All your tenderness and your sweet caress
I miss you now

But a head strong stubborn man
Only works it out the best he can
Valentines he never sent
There's not enough time he's a working man

Can't stop falling
Heartaches calling
Finds you after the fall
Saints or sinners
Take no prisoners
What's left - after you fall
No not much no

I said love is gone
I can't go on
Now love is gone
I want to say but it's just too late
Waited far too long

Should'a told you then I knew
Should'a told you right from the start - yeah
But the words didn't come out right
So I'll tell you straight from my heart

Can't stop falling
Heartaches calling
Finds you after the fall
Saints or sinners
Take no prisoners
What's left - after you fall
No not much no

Oh no not much
After the fall
After you fall
After you - fall

What To Do
Composer(s): Buddy Holly
Performer(s): Buddy Holly;
and various other artists



What to do now that she doesn’t want me
That’s what haunts me - what to do

What to do to keep from feeling lonely
Want her only - what to do

The record hops & all the happy times we had
The soda shop - the walks to school now make me sad, oh

What to do - I know my heartache’s showing
Still not knowing - what to do

The record hops & all the happy times we had
The soda shop - the walks to school now make me sad, oh

What to do - I know my heartache’s showing
Still not knowing - what to do

After The Ball
Composer(s): Charles K. Harris
Performer(s): J. Aldrich Libbey
and multiple other artists



A little maiden climbed an old man's knee
Begged for a story, "Do, Uncle, please"
Why are you single; Why live alone?
Have you no babies, have you no home?"

"I had a sweetheart, years, years ago
Where she is now, pet, you soon will know
List to the story, I'll tell it all
I believed her faithless, after the Ball" 

After the ball is over
After the break of dawn
After the dancer's leaving
After the stars are gone
Many a heart is aching
If you could read them all
Many the hopes that have vanished
After the ball

Bright lights were flashing in the grand ballroom
Softly the music, playing sweet tunes
There came my sweetheart, my love, my own
I wished some water, left her alone

When I returned, dear, there stood a man
Kissing my sweetheart, as lovers can
Down fell the glass, pet, broken that's all
Just as my heart was, after the ball 

After the ball is over
After the break of dawn
After the dancer's leaving
After the stars are gone
Many a heart is aching
If you could read them all
Many the hopes that have vanished
After the ball

Long years have passed, child, I've never wed
True to my lost love, though she is dead
She tried to tell me, tried to explain
I would not listen, pleadings were in vain

One day a letter came from that man
He was her brother, the letter ran
That's why I'm lonely, not home at all
I broke her heart 
After the ball 

After the ball is over
After the break of dawn
After the dancer's leaving
After the stars are gone
Many a heart is aching
If you could read them all
Many the hopes that have vanished
After the ball

After the ball is over
After the break of dawn
After the dancer's leaving
After the stars are gone
Many a heart is aching
If you could read them all
Many the hopes that have vanished
After the ball 

What The World Needs Now
Composer(s): Burt Bacharach; Hal David
Performer(s): Dionne Warwick



What the world needs now
What the world needs now
Is love, sweet love
It's the only thing
That there's just too little of
What the world needs now
Is love, sweet love
No not just for some
But for everyone

Lord, we don't need
Another mountain
There are mountains
And hillsides enough to climb
There are oceans
And rivers enough to cross
Enough to last
Till the end of time

What the world needs now
Is love, sweet love
It's the only thing
That there's just too little of
What the world needs now
Is love, sweet love
No, not just for some
But for everyone

Lord, we don't need
Another meadow
There are cornfields
And wheat fields enough to grow
There are sunbeams
And moonbeams enough to shine
Oh listen, lord
If you want to know

What the world needs now
Is love, sweet love
It's the only thing
That there's just too little of
What the world needs now
Is love, sweet love
No, not just for some
But for everyone

No, not just for some
Oh, but just for everyone

After School
Composer(s): Warren Nadel - Dick Wolf
Performer(s): Teresa Brewer; Randy Starr



Yesterday I waited for you
At the corner candy store
The way I always do
The hours passed, the gang went home
I was left there all alone
Waiting just for you

After school waiting for you
Am I a fool to wait for you the way I do
After school

I wonder if it could be true
That you had found somebody new
To take the place I've known
Finally, it got so late
I saw I was a fool to wait
So I walked home alone

After school waiting for you
Am I a fool to wait for you the way I do
After school

Here I am just like before
Waiting at the candy store
The way I always do
Will it be him/her, will it be me
I'm wondering who it will be
Walking home with you

After school waiting for you
Am I a fool to wait for you the way I do
After school

What The Well-Dressed Man In Harlem Will Wear
Composer(s): Irving Berlin
Performer(s): James Cross



There's a change in fashion that shows
In those Lennox Avenue clothes
Mister Dude has disappeared with his flashy tie
You'll see in the Harlem Esquire
What the well-dressed man will desire
When he's struttin' down the street with his sweetie-pie

Sun tan
Shade of green
Or an olive drab color scheme
That's what the well-dressed man in Harlem will wear

Dressed up
In O.D.'s
With a tin hat for overseas
That's what the well-dressed man in Harlem will wear

Top hat, white tie and tails no more
They've been put away till after the war

If you
Want to know
Take a look at Brown Bomber Joe
That's what the well-dressed man in Harlem will wear

After My Laughter Came Tears
Composer(s): Charles Tobias - Roy Turk
Performer(s): Big Joe Turner
and multiple other artists



I laughed the day I saw you leave, I laughed and said Id never grieve
But now after my laughter came tears (after my laughter came tears)

I told my friends, I didnt care, I laughed about a whole affair
But say now after my laughter came tears

My cryin' helped me from showin' them that I was blue (listen)
By myself you'll never know what I've been through (just what I'm goin' through)

My lips conceal a hurtin' pain, I make believe but all in vain
I said now after my ...

My cryin' helped me from showin' them that I was blue (listen)

My lips conceal a hurtin' pain, I make believe but all in vain

What The Hell
Composer(s): Terry Cashman; Gene Pistilli; Tommy West
Performer(s): Jim Croce & Ingrid Croce



Oh my room will always have some people
You see Johnny Carson is a friend of mine
And my music box will always play me something
If something's what I need to ease my mind
Take what you want
I'll feel much better
Don't hang around
Till I get myself together
You can leave those pieces right there where they fell
Someone else will come along and pick 'em up
Say what the hell

If I don't see you in the morning
Guess the sun might come up anyway
And without you here to love and stand beside me
Guess I just might make it through the day
If you should call from time to time
Don't be surprised
If the voice that answers ain't mine
'Cause you left the pieces right there where they fell
Someone else just came along and picked 'em up
Say what the hell

If you should call from time to time
Don't be surprised
If the voice that answers ain't mine
'Cause you left those pieces right there where they fell
Someone else just came along and picked 'em up
Say what the hell

If she don't love me come tomorrow
If you can't get what you want, want what you got
And I won't be drugged with words like joy and sorrow
I won't feel one way or the other
Like as not
I'll soon forget you
Leave my life
Guess you thought I'd never let you
'Cause you left those pieces right there where they fell
Someone else just came along and picked 'em up
Say what the hell

After midnight, we're gonna let it all hang down
After midnight, we're gonna chug-a-lug and shout
We're gonna stimulate some action
We're gonna get some satisfaction
We're gonna find out what it is all about
After midnight, we're gonna let it all hang down

After midnight, we're gonna shake your tambourine
After midnight, it's all gonna be peaches and cream
We're gonna cause talk and suspicion
We're gonna give an exhibition
We're gonna find out what it is all about
After midnight, we're gonna let it all hang down

After midnight, we're gonna let it all hang down

After midnight, we're gonna shake your tambourine
After midnight, it's all gonna be peaches and cream

What Part Of No 
Composer(s): Wayne Perry; Gerald Smith
Performer(s): Lorrie Morgan;
and various other artists



Sir if you don't mind, I'd rather be alone
From the moment I walked in tonight, you've been comin' on
If I told you once, I told you twice, I'm just here to unwind
I'm not interested in romance or what you have in mind

What part of no don't you understand
I'll put it plain and simple, I'm not into one night stands
I'll be glad to explain it, if it's too hard to comprehend
What part of no don't you understand

I appreciate the drink and the rose was nice of you
I don't mean to be so bleak, I don't think I'm gettin' through
I don't need no company and I don't want to dance
What part of no don't you understand

What part of no don't you understand
I'll put it plain and simple, I'm not into one night stands
I'll be glad to explain it, if it's too hard to comprehend
What part of NO don't you understand

I appreciate the drink and the rose was nice of you
I don't mean to be so bleak, I don't think I'm gettin' through
I don't need no company and I don't want to dance
What part of no don't you understand

Covered by multiple other artists



But now after loving you
what else is there to do
For honey, all the rest is just 
gonna have to be second best
I know I'll go through life comparing her to you
That's 'cause I'm no good
I'm no good to anyone after loving you
Your precious love cannot be erased 
by just another woman with a pretty face
And your memory
you know it will remain for it cannot be erased
Other loves may come along
they can't live up to you
That's 'cause I'm no good 
I'm no good to anyone after loving you
Your precious love cannot be erased 
by just another woman with a pretty face
And your memory 
you know it will remain for it cannot be erased
Other loves may come along
they can't live up to you
That's 'cause I'm no good 
I'm no good to anyone after loving you
I said I'm no good
I'm no good to anyone after loving you
I said I'm no good 
I'm no good, I'm no good to anyone
To anyone, to anyone
to anyone after loving you
That's 'cause I'm no good
I'm no good to anyone after loving you

What now my love
Now that you left me
How can I live through another day
Watching my dreams turn into ashes
And all my hopes into bits of clay
Once I could see, once I could feel
Now I am numb
I've become unreal

I walk the night, oh, without a goal
Stripped of my heart, my soul
What now my love
Now that it's over
I feel the world closing in on me
Here come the stars
Tumbling around me
And there's the sky where the sea should be

What now my love
Now that you're gone
I'd be a fool to go on and on
No one would care, no one would cry
If I should live or die

What now my love
Now there is nothing
Only my last goodbye
Only my last goodbye
