    Ain't Livin' Long Like This
    Composer(s): Rodney Crowell
    Performer(s): Foghat
    and multiple other artists



    I looked for trouble and found it son
    Straight down the barrel of a lawman's gun
    I'd try to run but I don't think I can

    If I move I'm a dead man

    Ain't livin' long like this
    I can't live at all like this can I baby
    He slipped the cuffs on behind my back
    Then left me freezing on a steel rail rack
    They got `em all in the jailhouse don't they baby
    I ain't livin' long like this
    Can't live at all like this can I baby

    Grew up in Houston off a wayside drive
    Son of a carhop in an all-night dive
    He drove a stock car to an early death
    All I remember is a drunk man's breath
    Ain't livin' long like this
    I can't live at all like this can I baby

    We know the story how the wheel goes `round
    Don't let `em take you to the man downtown
    I can't sleep at all in the jailhouse can I baby
    Ain't livin' long like this
    I can't live at all like this can I baby

    I live for Angel she's the roadhouse queen
    Make Texas Ruby look like Sandra Dee
    I want to love her but I don't know how

    I'm at the bottom of the jailhouse now
    Ain't livin' long like this
    I can't live at all like this can I baby

    You know the story `bout the jailhouse rock
    Go on and do it just don't get caught
    They got `em all in the jailhouse don't they baby
    Ain't livin' long like this
    I can't live at all like this can I baby

    Ain't livin' long like this
    I swear I can't live at all like this can I baby
    Oh baby
    Take it home for me
    Ain't livin' long like this am I baby

    When It's Night-Time In Italy
    It's Wednesday Over Here
    Composer(s): Lew Brown; James Kendis
    Performer(s): The Everly Brothers;
    and various other artists



    A Rah-Rah-Rah-Rah college boy threw all his books away
    He said, "I've lost my appetite, my hair is turning grey
    I know my Greek and History, and Latin is a "pie"
    But if East is East and West is West, then won't you tell me why

    When it's night time in Italy it's Wednesday over here
    When it's fish day in Germany
    You can't get shaved in Massachusetts
    How high is up? I'd like to know
    How low is down? And when will we have snow?
    If you bump into Gallager you'll find that Sean is near
    When it's night-time in Italy it's Wednesday over here"

    When it's night time in Italy it's Wednesday over here
    When it's Christmas in Albany
    They're catching fish in Scandinavia
    That's right, you're wrong
    No, no; you're wrong; that's right
    Although the days are long
    It's always cool at night
    If you can't play the piccolo
    The holidays are near
    When it's night time in Italy and Wednesday over here

    This Rah-Rah-Rah-Rah college boy stood up in class and said
    "I looked up my Geography, and found out Ceasar's dead!
    The reason I speak Portuguese is I'm some clever guy
    But if "parley vous" means "how are you"
    then won't you tell me why

    When it's night-time in Italy it's Wednesday over here
    All the onions in Sicily make people cry in California
    You drive a horse. I drive a Ford
    That doesn't prove a sailor is a board
    If you talk to an Eskimo his breath will freeze your ear
    When it's night-time in Italy it's Wednesday over here

    When it's night-time in Italy it's Wednesday over here
    When it's wash day in Piccardy
    They're eating ice cream cones in Georgia
    Sixteen and four makes thirty one
    Take eight from five and your day's work is done
    There are people who hesitate, but corned-beef makes them cheer
    When it's night-time in Italy and Wednesday over here

    When it's night time in Italy, it's Wednesday over here
    When the wind blows in Louisville
    I always dream of Julius Caesar
    Young folks are young, of course
    And old folks are old, why not
    Fire is very hot, but ice is sometimes cold
    Try and fondle a porcupine, what makes ice cream so dear?
    When it's night time in Italy, it's Wednesday over here

    I saw a Chinaman
    Fight a Scandinavian
    Up steped an Englishman, and said, "I'd like to speak
    Why kick this man around?
    Why strike him when he's down?
    Just hit him with a hammer and then bite him on his cheek!"

    Up stepped an Irish cop
    Who said, "This fight will have to stop
    I'd like to know what the scrap is all about"
    They said, "When we tell you
    It will drive you nutty too"
    And so they held the traffic up while they tried to figure out

    When it's night-time in Italy, it's Wednesday over here
    When the snow falls in Araby
    They're squeezing grapes in California
    Look at you here. Grass on the dew
    Leather shoes are black, but other shoes are new
    If there's sunshine in Washington, what makes the moonshine dear?
    When it's night time in Italy, it's Wednesday over here

    If you lay on a mattress, you'll find that spring is near
    If you haven't an appetite, just think of Paul Revere
    By the time that they pass a bill to bring back wine and beer
    It'll be night-time in Italy and Wednesday over here

    Temptation
    Composer(s): Tom Waits
    Performer(s): Tom Waits



    Rusted brandy in a diamond glass
    everything is made from dreams
    time is made from honey slow and sweet
    only the fools know what it means
    temptation, temptation, temptation
    oh, temptation, temptation, I can't resist
    I know that she is made of smoke
    but I've lost my way
    she knows that I am broke
    so that I must play
    temptation, temptation, temptation
    oh, whoa, temptation, temptation, I can't resist
    Dutch pink and Italian blue
    she is waiting there for you
    my will has disappeared
    now my confusion's oh so clear
    temptation, temptation, temptation
    whoa, whoa, temptation, temptation

    When It's Moonlight On The Rio Grande
    Composer(s): Casper Nathan; Earl K. Smith



    Oh, Mandy Lee, your smile is haunting me
    and in my dreams it always seems
    I'm going back to scenes that used to be
    when we stood beside the dear old Rio Grande

    Oh, Mandy Lee, there's joy for you and me
    beside the stream where we could dream of golden days
    the days that used to be when we strolled beside the dear old Rio Grande

    When it's moonlight on the Rio Grande, and the stars shine on the gleaming sand
    that's the time I'm coming back to see if the moonlight brings your love to me
    When the moonbeams gleam up on the dew I will tell my love for you
    I'll be coming back to claim your hand when it's moonlight on the Rio Grande

    Sex
    Temptation
    Lust
    Pop go mama

    Everybody on this earth has got a vice
    And mine, little darlin', mine is the opposite of ice
    Mine is the running hot water of the daughter of morality
    In other words, this little prince thinks a lot about U, see?
    Baby, baby, baby
    I'm guilty in the first degree

    Temptation
    Working my body with a hot flash of animal lust
    Temptation
    All my fingers in the pool go splash we must

    Everybody in this room
    Everybody in this room has got an urge
    What's yours, baby?
    Mine is temptation, it reigns at a party where lovers splurge
    Pop go mama when daddy gets a little 2 much
    You know what I'm talkin' 'bout?
    Purplelectricity whenever our bodies touch
    Ooh baby, I love it when our bodies touch

    Temptation
    Working my body with a hot flash of animal lust
    Temptation
    All my fingers in the pool go splash we must

    Temptation, temptation, temptation

    Wait a minute now

    Temptation
    Working my body with a hot flash of animal lust
    Temptation
    All my fingers in the pool go splash we must

    Temptation
    Working my body, working my body, working my body

    Temptation
    I'm not talkin' about just ordinary temptation, people
    I'm talking about the kind of temptation that'll make U do things
    Oh, oh, temptation
    Oh, darling, I can almost taste the wetness between your... temptation, temptation
    I'm not talking about any ol' kind of temptation, people
    I'm talkin' about, I'm talkin' about... sexual temptation
    A lover
    I need a lover, a lover, I need a...right now
    U, I want U
    I want U in the worst way
    I want U

    "Oh, silly man, that's not how it works
    You have 2 want her 4 the right reasons"

    I do!

    "U don't, now die!"

    No! No!

    Let me go, let me go

    I'm sorry
    I'll be good
    This time I promise
    Love is more important than sex
    Now I understand
    I have 2 go now
    I don't know when I'll return
    Good-bye

    When It's Moonlight In Tokio
    Composer(s): Bobby Heath; Charles P. Shisler; Billy James



    Dear old Japan I hear you calling me, though I am far away
    I dream of you, too, though all the night and day
    I have spent my time in many lands
    I've seen beauty everywhere
    but Tokyo, when bathed in moonlight's glow is beauty sweet and rare

    I long to go to dear old Tokyo, beneath those Eastern skies
    its gardens fair and poppy perfumed air, bring dreams of paradise
    Japanese lovers strolling though the town, lanterns swinging to and fro
    each moonlight Jap lover's hearts are bright, in dear old Tokyo

    When it's moonlight in Tokyo, mid the flowers
    when the lanterns are burning low, Happy Hours!
    every girlie in old Japan finds she's loving some Japanese man
    sings while holding his little hand: "Hurry up, hurry up, I'm waiting"
    Down through Japanese Lover's Lane they are strolling
    each boy humming the same refrain
    "My butterfly, I love but you, tell me you love me true"
    when it's moonlight in Tokyo!

    You came, I was alone
    I should have known you were temptation
    You smiled, luring me on
    My heart was gone, you were temptation

    It would be thrilling if you were willling
    If it can never be, pity me
    For you were born to be kissed
    I can't resist
    You are temptation and I am yours
    Here is my heart
    Take it and say we'll never part
    I'm just a slave, only a slave
    To you, temptation

    For you were born to be kissed
    I can't resist
    You are temptation and I am yours
    Here is my heart
    Take it and say we'll never part
    I'm just a slave, only a slave

    Composer(s): Harold Goodman; Sam C. Hart;
    Joe Lyons; Curt Poulton; Dean Upson
    Performer(s): Tex Ritter;
    and various other artists



    There's a lamp burning bright in a cabin
    In a window it's shining for me
    And I know that my mother is praying
    For her boy she is longing to see

    When it's lamplighting time in the valley
    Then in dreams I go back to my home
    I can see that old light in the window
    It will guide me wherever I roam

    In the lamplight each night I can see her
    As she rocks in her chair to and fro
    Though she prays that I'll come back to see her
    Still I know that I never can go

    When it's lamplighting time in the valley
    Then in dreams I go back to my home
    But I've sinned against my home and my loved ones
    And now I must evermore roam

    So she lights up the lamp and keeps waiting
    For she knows not the crime I have done
    But I'll change all my ways and I'll meet her
    Up in Heaven when life's race is run

    When it's lamplighting time in the valley
    Then in dreams I go back to my home
    I can see that old light in the window
    It will guide me wherever I roam

    Performer(s): UFO



    Kick out the cat / turn back the clock
    Ain’t life sweet baby look what I got
    They took the tv honey
    Oh babe now they took the car
    I skipped the bills yeah
    And I’ve been drinking at the bar

    Ain’t life a treat, it ain’t so sweet
    When you’re down on down / down on down

    The bank’s foreclosing
    And there’s a foot inside my door
    The telephone’s not ringing
    And I can’t take it anymore

    I’m off the track / my last six pack
    And I’m down on down / going down
    Ain’t life a treat it ain’t so sweet
    When you’re going down / down on down

    Hit me shorty

    My God the kids are screaming
    And the help she ain’t been paid
    My baby upped and left me
    Well I hope she’s getting laid

    Ain’t life a treat it ain’t so sweet
    When you’re down on down / going down
    I’m just bad luck looks like I got stuck
    Down on down / down on down

    I took it to the limit, now I’m really in it
    Going down / right on down
    Just like the I.R.S. oh, more is less
    Going down / down on down

    When it's darkness on the delta
    That's the time my heart is light
    When it's darkness on the delta
    Let me linger in the shelter of the night

    Fields of cotton all around me
    Darkies singin' sweet and low**
    Lord I'm lucky that you found me
    Where the muddy Mississippi waters flow

    Lounging on the levee
    List'nin' to the nightingales way up above
    Laughter on the levee, no one's heart is heavy
    All God's chillun got someone to love

    When it's darkness on the delta
    Only heaven is in sight
    When it's darkness on the delta
    let me linger in the shelter of the night

    Tonight I’ll meet the one I love again

    I never meet the one I love at all when I am awake
    I wonder how long that will take

    When is sometime?
    How many days until sometime?
    For my dreams make it clear
    That my lover is near
    And she ought to be here about some time
    Who is someone?
    Who is the wonderful someone?
    Oh I’m keeping my heartstrings in tune
    And hoping that sometime is soon

    Who is someone?
    Who is this wonderful someone?
    Oh I’m keeping my heartstrings in tune
    And hoping that sometime is soon

    Ain't It Sad
    Composer(s): Chris Difford - Glenn Tilbrook
    Performer(s): Squeeze



    No cameras, no lights, no stars in my eyes
    And no way of getting through to you
    No writing, nor call with a two-time tart
    And no way to make a dream come true
    Walking up the street, take a hold of my hand
    Its just a postcard of the place I knew
    Because ain't you sad girl, ain't it sad
    Ain't you sad girl, ain't it sad
    Funny little things I thought I never had
    No afternoon cafe(?), missing english and math
    And off to the slammin' summer coast
    No waiter, no tips no movies, no scripts
    And no way of getting into my post
    Riding up the street take a hold of my wheel
    Its just a life time and I make the most
    Because ain't you sad girl, ain't it sad
    Ain't you sad girl, ain't it sad
    Funny little things I thought I never had

    Because ain't you sad girl, ain't it sad
    Ain't you sad girl, ain't it sad
    Funny little things I thought I never had
    No walking down the beach, no girls left to speak
    And no time to mess around with a kiss
    No wlaking her home, when she is feeling alone
    And no time to get her under the peir
    Running up the steets, you can catch us if you can
    This is my lifetime and I will not fear
    Because ain't you sad girl, ain't it sad
    Ain't you sad girl, ain't it sad
    Funny little things I thought I never had
    Funny little things I thought I never had
    Funny little things I thought I never had

    When Irish Eyes Are Smiling
    Composer(s): Ernest R. Ball; Chauncey Olcott; George Graff Jr.
    Performer(s): Chauncey Olcott;
    and various other artists



    There's a tear in your eye
    And I'm wondering why
    For it never should be there at all
    With such pow'r in your smile
    Sure a stone you'd beguile
    So there's never a teardrop should fall

    When your sweet lilting laughter's
    Like some fairy song
    And your eyes twinkle bright as can be
    You should laugh all the while
    And all other times smile
    And now, smile a smile for me

    When Irish eyes are smiling
    Sure, 'tis like the morn in Spring
    In the lilt of Irish laughter
    You can hear the angels sing
    When Irish hearts are happy
    All the world seems bright and gay
    And when Irish eyes are smiling
    Sure, they steal your heart away

    For your smile is a part
    Of the love in your heart
    And it makes even sunshine more bright
    Like the linnet's sweet song
    Crooning all the day long
    Comes your laughter and light

    For the springtime of life
    Is the sweetest of all
    There is ne'er a real care or regret
    And while springtime is ours
    Throughout all of youth's hours
    Let us smile each chance we get

    When Irish eyes are smiling
    Sure, 'tis like the morn in Spring
    In the lilt of Irish laughter
    You can hear the angels sing
    When Irish hearts are happy
    All the world seems bright and gay
    And when Irish eyes are smiling
    Sure, they steal your heart away

    Ain't It Peculiar
    Composer(s): Tim Buckley
    Performer(s): Tim Buckley



    Ain't it peculiar now
    How our loves goes on and on
    Ain't it peculiar honey
    We take the bad with the wrong

    You know that time after time
    A misfortune smiled
    Ain't it peculiar woman
    You know we'll laugh our way through
    When will this long night of a prison ever end
    When will this long night of a prison ever end

    You know I'm ready to sell
    Lord you're the talk of the town
    The next minute you're busted
    Just listenin' to that jailhouse sound

    You know that time after time
    A misfortune smiled
    Ain't it peculiar woman
    How we'll just laugh our way through
    When will this long night of a prison ever end
    when will this long night of a prison ever end

    You know double talk is poison
    But that's the rule of the game
    Instead of back stabbing they practice
    Of all the little things that drive you insane

    You know that time after time
    A misfortune smiled
    You know it's peculiar
    I can still laugh our way through it

    When will this long night of a prison ever end
    When will this long night of a prison ever end

    Ain't it peculiar

    When In Rome (I Do As The Romans Do)
    Composer(s): Carolyn Leigh; Cy Coleman
    Performer(s): Tony Bennett;
    and various other artists



    When in Spain, for reasons I don't explain
    I remain enjoying a brew
    Don't deplore my fondness for fundador
    You know how a fundador can lead to a few
    And baby when in Rome, I do as the Romans do

    If per chance I'm saying farewell to France
    And romance drops in from the blue
    Cher amour, I beg of you, please endure
    My taking a brief detour with somebody new
    It's just that when in Rome, I do as the Romans do

    And though from Italy I lie to you prettily
    Why think of me bitterly?
    You know that I'm true
    'Cept now and then in Rome, I get that old yen in Rome
    And nat'rally when in Rome, I do as the Romans do

    If I write happily, "Best wishes from Napoli"
    Don't cable me snappily to tell me we're through
    'Cause once again in Rome, in somebody's den in Rome
    Well honey, when in Rome, I do as the Romans

    So just disregard the signs and the omens
    When in Rome I do as the Romans do

    Ain’t It Nice?
    Composer(s): Frank Davison
    Performer(s): The Bandits



    Ain’t it nice to know there’s always someone who
    Thinks the world of you and no one else will do
    Ain’t it nice to know it makes no difference where or when
    He’ll be glad to see you and he’ll hate to let you go again
    Ain’t it nice to think there’s someone you adore
    And it’s grand to know that they’re worth waiting for
    Ain’t it nice to know that he’s as true as the stars above
    Ain’t it nice to be in love

    Ain’t it nice to know there’s always someone who
    Thinks the world of you and no one else will do
    Ain’t it nice to know it makes no difference where or when
    She’ll be glad to see you and will hate to let you go again
    Ain’t it nice to think there’s someone you adore
    And it’s grand to know that they’re worth waiting for
    Ain’t it nice to know that he’s as true as the stars above
    Ain’t it nice to be in love

    When I'm Sixty-Four
    German Title: Wenn Ich 64 Bin
    Composer(s): John Lennon; Paul McCartney
    Performer(s): The Beatles



    When I get older losing my hair
    Many years from now
    Will you still be sending me a valentine
    Birthday greetings bottle of wine

    If I'd been out till quarter to three
    Would you lock the door
    Will you still need me, will you still feed me
    When I'm sixty-four

    You'll be older too
    And if you say the word
    I could stay with you

    I could be handy, mending a fuse
    When your lights have gone
    You can knit a sweater by the fireside
    Sunday mornings go for a ride

    Doing the garden, digging the weeds
    Who could ask for more
    Will you still need me, will you still feed me
    When I'm sixty-four

    Every summer we can rent a cottage
    In the Isle of Wight, if it's not too dear
    We shall scrimp and save
    Grandchildren on your knee
    Vera, Chuck & Dave

    Send me a postcard, drop me a line,
    Stating point of view
    Indicate precisely what you mean to say
    Yours sincerely, wasting away

    Give me your answer, fill in a form
    Mine for evermore
    Will you still need me, will you still feed me
    When I'm sixty-four

    Ain't It Nice
    Composer(s): J. Smith
    Performer(s): Chad & Jeremy



    Mama goose, she walks real proud
    Ask her just once and she'll tell you out loud about
    Papa goose while she struts on the ground
    Waitin' for the afternoon sun to go down
    Ain't it nice, ain't it nice
    Ain't it nice what love can do

    Now me, I love most ev'rything
    I've lived with the sorrow that love brings
    Spend most of my nights alone
    'Cause I can't be happy with just one home
    Ain't it nice, ain't it nice
    Ain't it nice what love can do

    Poor man might not know how to sing
    He spend his time learnin' better things
    He lives for today and forgets the rest
    At the happiness game the poor man's best
    Ain't it nice, ain't it nice
    Ain't it nice what love can do

    When I'm Not Near The Girl I Love
    Composer(s): E.Y. "Yip" Harburg; Burton Lane
    Performer(s): David Wayne;
    and various other artists



    Oh my heart is beating wildly
    And it's all because you're here
    When I'm not near the girl I love
    I love the girl I'm near
    Ev'ry femme that flutters by me
    Is a flame that must be fanned
    When I can't fondle the hand I'm fond of
    I fondle the hand at hand
    My heart's in a pickle
    It's constantly fickle
    And not too partickle, I fear
    When I'm not near the girl I love
    I love the girl I'm near

    I'm confessing a confession
    And I hope I'm not verbose
    When I'm not close to the kiss that I cling to
    I cling to the kiss that's close
    As I'm more and more a mortal
    I am more and more a case
    When I'm not facing the face that I fancy
    I fancy the face I face
    For Sharon I'm carin'
    But Susan I'm choosin'
    I'm faithful to whos'n is here
    When I'm not near the girl I love
    I love the girl I'm near
