When I Was A Boy I Watched The Wolves Composer(s): Grace Slick; Paul Kantner Performer(s): Paul Kantner
When I was a boy I watched the wolves When I was a boy I watched wolfpack Run, I watched the wolves till the mornin' sun And as I grew I soon found the wolfpack grow on me Laser bright feel the lunar light comin down on me Moonlight, leave me be, comin down on me We Roll and we go thru the mountain snow Wolfpack silver, down to the water Timber line leader gonna find you Getcha goin down to the nighttime
No eyes shine on the mind protected No light shines on the fang neglected Run with the wolfpack
When I was young and low out here in San Francisco I could rely on the fire of my friends, now I can Carry a few and I do when I can we get By however we can
Me and my friends we roll thru the hills in the nighttime Me and my friends run into the mornin sunshine
I suppose you could yell at your dog He'd be barking his face right back I imagine you calling yourself big fang Observing you run with the pack Wolfpack werewolf, gleaming on the hillside She-wolf dripping come here and find me Down by the cool clear waterside Down by the nighttime Bow to the moon / lean to the morning sun Feel how clean / when the night when your nite is done
Run with the wolfpack Get down be bright go back, run with the wolfpack We have the mountains, we have the town now Battle cruiser, two tone silver loser Run with the wolfpack Run with the wolfpack Run with the wolfpack

And when I touch you I feel the same way too I feel the mountains rise I feel them touch the skies Your love holds all these keys Why can 't I be free From thoughts of bitter rage White lions in their cage I, I won't see you any more I, I won't see you any I will not see you any more....More....More
When I touch you When I touch you Ahaa....Ahaa.... Mmmmm....Mmmmm.... Mmmmm....Mmmmm
When I Take My Sugar To Tea Composer(s): Sammy Fain; Irving Kahal; Pierre Norman Connor Performer(s): Leon Redbone
I'm just a little "Jackie Horner" since I met my sugar cane That gang of mine has been revealin' that they're feelin' sore I left the lamp light on the corner for the moon in lover's lane I'm doing things I never did before
When I take my sugar to tea, all the boys are jealous of me, 'cause I never take her where the gang goes When I take my sugar to tea
I'm a rowdy dowdy, that's me She's a high hat baby, that's she So I never take her where the gang goes When I take my sugar to tea
Ev'ry Sunday afternoon we forget about our cares rubbing elbows at the Ritz with those millionaires
When I take my sugar to tea I'm as Ritzy as can be 'cause I never take her where the gang goes When I take my sugar to tea

When I Take My Morning Promenade Composer(s): A.J. Mills; Bennett Scott Performer(s): Marie Lloyd; Patricia Rowlands
Since Mother Eve in the Garden long ago Started the fashion, fashion's been a passion Eve wore a costume we might describe as brief Still every season brought its change of leaf She'd stare if she could come to town Oh! what would Mother Eve think of my new Parisian gown?
When I take my morning promenade Quite a fashion card, on the Promenade Oh! I don't mind nice boys staring hard If it satisfies their desire Do you think my dress is a little bit Just a little bit..... Well not too much of it Though it shows my shape just a little bit That's the little bit the boys admire
Fancy the girls in the prehistoric days Each wore a bearskin covering her fair skin Lately Salome has charmed us to be sure Wearing some rows of beads and not much more Fancy my dressing like that, too The 'Daily Mirror' man would surely want an interview
When I take my morning promenade Quite a fashion card, on the Promenade Oh! I don't mind nice boys staring hard If it satisfies their desire Do you think my dress is a little bit Just a little bit..... Well not too much of it Though it shows my shape just a little bit That's the little bit the boys admire
I've heard my Grandmother wore the crinoline Then came the bussle Oh! it was a tussle Women were tied up and loaded up with dress Now, fashion plates decree we must wear less Each year our costume grows more brief I wonder when we'll get back to the good old fashioned leaf?
When I take my morning promenade Quite a fashion card, on the Promenade Oh! I don't mind nice boys staring hard If it satisfies their desire Do you think my dress is a little bit Just a little bit..... Well not too much of it Though it shows my shape just a little bit That's the little bit the boys admire

Ain't Gonna Cry No More Composer(s): David Coverdale - Micky Moody Performer(s): Whitesnake; The Company of Snakes; M3
Rising with the morning sun I turn to greet the dawn Knowing I must face another day Sleepless night behind me Just a memory of pain My heart has always been a cross to bear Lord I know the sunshine But, I feel the tears of rain Falling down to wash my sins away I'll try, hard to remember So I won't be fooled again Hey, ain't gonna cry no more today All around me, shadows fall Tho' day has just begun I realise I'm on my own again Memories of broken dreams As distant as the sun Are drifting like an echo in the wind Lord, I know the sunshine But, I feel the tears of rain Falling down to wash my sins away I'll try, hard to remember So I won't be fooled again Hey, ain't gonna cry no more today Babe, I thought about it But, it just ain't done good You hold my heart and soul within your hand All the time, you're in my mind I never thought you could be so blind Maybe someday I will understand Lord, I know the sun shine But I feel the tears of rain Falling down to wash my sins away I'll try hard to remember So I won't be fooled again Hey, ain't gonna cry no more today, no more Hey, mama you drive me crazy Knowing you're my heart's desire Why'd you go and hang me up this way You've given me love, given me love Now tell me what you were thinking of Why'd you go and steal my soul away Lord I know the sunshine But, I feel the tears of rain Falling down to wash my sins away I'll try hard to remember So I won't be fooled again Hey, ain't gonna cry no more today I ain't gonna cry no more
Lord I know the sunshine But, I feel the tears of rain Falling down to wash my sins away I'll try hard to remember So I won't be fooled again Hey, ain't gonna cry no more today Ain't gonna cry no more Hey, I ain't gonna cry no more today...

The worst that I've ever been hurt In my life The first time I ever have Wanted to die Was the night when you told me You loved someone new And you asked me if I could forget

When I See You Smile Composer(s): Diane Warren Performer(s): Ringo Starr; and various other artists
Sometimes I wonder If I'd ever make it through Through this world without having in you I just wouldn't have a clue
'Cause sometimes it seems like this world's closing in on me And there's no way of breaking free and then I see you reach for me
Sometimes I wanna give up wanna give in I wanna quit the fight And then I see you baby and everything's alright, everything's alright
When I see you smile I can face the world Oh you know I can do anything When I see you smile I see a ray of light Oh I see it shining right through the rain When I see you smile Baby when I see you smile at me
Baby there's nothing in this world that could ever do What the touch of your hand can do It's like nothing that I ever knew
And when the rain is falling, I don't feel it Cause you're here with me now I wanna ask you baby It's all I¹ll ever need, All I'll ever need
When I see you smile I can face the world Oh you know I can do anything When I see you smile I see a ray of light Oh I see it shining right through the rain When I see you smile baby Baby when I see you smile at me

When I See An Elephant Fly Composer(s): Oliver Wallace; Ned Livingston Performer(s): Cliff Edwards; and various other artists
I saw a peanut stand, heard a rubber band I saw a needle that winked its eye But I think I will have seen everything When I see an elephant fly
I saw a front porch swing, heard a diamond ring I saw a polka-dot railroad tie But I think I will have seen everything When I see an elephant fly
I seen a clothes horse he r'ar up and buck And they tell me that a man made a vegetable truck I didn't see that I only heard But just to be sociable I'll take your word I heard a fireside chat I saw a baseball bat And I just laughed till I thought I'd die But I'd been done seen about everything When I see an elephant fly
I even heard a chocolate drop I went into a store, saw a bicycle shop You can't deny the things you see but I know there's certain things that just can't be The other day by chance, saw an old barn dance And I just laughed til I thought I'd die But I think I will have seen everything when I see an elephant fly
Ain't Gone 'N' Give Up on Love Composer(s): Stevie Ray Vaughan Performer(s): Stevie Ray Vaughan and multiple other artists
I ain't gonna give up on love Love ain't gonna give up on me I ain't gonna give up on love Love ain't gonna give up on me Every tear I cried Only washed away the fear inside I just ain't gonna give up on love
Every beat of my heart Pounds with joy and not with pain Every beat of my heart Pounds with joy and not with pain All those painful memories They only brought me to my knees 'Cause I was giving up on love
Little Johnny Taylor told me so, so long ago All about the midnight crying, oh lord All the cheating and lying And about the price that must be paid 'Cause if we gave up on love Well, love will surely have its day If we don't give up on love
I ain't gonna give up on love Love ain't gonna give up on me I ain't gonna give up on love Love ain't gonna give up on me Every time I try Lord, it just won't let me be
