Alfie 
((Swedish Version: Alfie (by Sylvia Vrethammar) - 1969))
Composer(s): Burt Baccharach - Hal David
First release by: Cilla Black - 1966
Covered by multiple other artists



What's it all about, Alfie?
Is it just for the moment we live?
What's it all about when you sort it out, Alfie?
Are we meant to take more than we give or are we meant to be kind?
And if only fools are kind, Alfie
then I guess it's wise to be cruel
And if life belongs only to the strong, Alfie
what will you lend on an old golden rule?
As sure as I believe there's a heaven above, Alfie
I know there's something much more
something even non-believers can believe in
I believe in love, Alfie
Without true love we just exist, Alfie
Until you find the love you've missed you're nothing, Alfie
When you walk let your heart lead the way
and you'll find love any day, Alfie, Alfie

Performer(s): The Lettermen;
and various other artists



(Mrs. Soweberry):
Right then, Oliver Twist
your bed's underneath the counter
You don't mind sleeping
among coffins I suppose?
It don't much matter whether you do
or you don't cause you can't sleep
nowhere else!

(Oliver):
Where is love?
Does it fall from skies above?
Is it underneat the willow tree
That I've been dream of?
Where is she?
Who I close my eyes to see?
Will I ever know the sweet "hello"
That's only meant for me?
Who can say where she may hide?
Must I travel far and wide?
'Til I am bedside the someone who
I can mean somethin to ...
Where...?
Where is love?

Who can say where...she may hide?
Must I travel...far and wide?
'Til I am beside...the someone who
I can mean...something to...
Where?
Where is love?

Don't Talk To Me
Composer(s): Milt Gabler - Bert Kaempfert - Herbert Rehbein
Performer(s): Vikki Carr; Bert Kaempfert; Wayne Newton



Don't talk to me of loves you have known
Don't talk to me of years that have flown
Each whispered word reminds me
Tomorrow night will find me
With no-one to sweet-talk me!
Don't talk to me of heaven above
Don't talk to me unless it's of love!
My heart won't need a reason
And words are out of season
So kiss me more and don't talk to me!
My heart won't need a reason
And words are out of season
So kiss me more
Oh kiss me more
So kiss me more and don't talk to me!
Come on and kiss me more!
Don't talk to me!
Just kiss me more
Don't talk to me!

Where In The World
Composer(s): Ray Austin; Paul Herrick; Freddy Martin
Performer(s): Anne Shelton



Do you mind if I ask you some questions
Questions that explain this lovely glow

Where in the world can a sunbeam at noon
Take the place of the moon
And where in the world can the stars of the skies
Shine in two lovely eyes

And where did I first find the answer to my prayer
May I remind you that you were there

Oh where in the world can a touch of the lips
Bring a total eclipse of cares in the world
And the future for two is the one thing in view
And where can I be sure that all my dreams come true
Oh where in the world, only with you

Don't Take Away Your Love
Performer(s): Johnny Nash



Take away the autumn leaves
Take away the summer breeze
But don't take away, don't take away your love
Take away the moonlit skies
Take the sunshine from my eyes
But don't take away, don't take away your love

Let me touch your lips and know the thrill of all your charms
Then I'll hold the world, the very world within my arms

Take away the kiss of spring
Take away my everything
But don't take away, don't take away your love
No, no, no, don't take away, don't take away your love

I'm begging you, please, don't take away your love

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, darling don't take away your love

Aw, just let me touch your lips and know the thrill of all your charms
Then I'll hold the world, the very world within my arms

Take away the kiss of spring
Take away my everything
But don't take away, don't take away your love
Don't take away, don't take away your love
No, no, no, no, no, no, don't take away your love 

Where In The World
Composer(s): Mack Gordon; Harry Revel
Performer(s): Larry Clinton



Where in the world can my lover be
Where in this wonderful world is there someone for me
He may be standing in a corner on a lonely street
But tell me how will we happen to meet
Where in the world is that moment divine
Where are those arms
Where are those lips to whisper "will you be mine"
Where are you if you're waiting, patiently waiting for me
Oh how in the world will I know
Where in the world you may be

Alexis
Composer(s): Tommy Bolin - Jeff Cook
Performer(s): Tommy Bolin; The James Gang



Alexis thank you for the pleasant southern days
Spent on the levee throwing pennies in the bay
Talking of the rich folks on the big boats that pass that way
You were just a young girl and I just could not stay

Alexis I can't remember how we met back then
Was on my way to Atlanta and on that road again
Not really poor I had money just not to spend
You were just a young girl and I was in need of a friend 

Alexis you always used to talk about leaving your hometown heading on south
Maybe down to New Orleans and you wanted me to help you out
But you were just a young girl and I was just a hobo
I had my doubts

Alexis I did not want to leave you there
Sometimes this life we live is so unfair
I wanted to take you with me but I did not dare
You were just a young girl and I couldn't pay your fare

Alexis you always used to talk about leaving your hometown heading on south
Maybe down to New Orleans and you wanted me to help you out
But you were just a young girl and I was just a hobo
I had my doubts

Alexis you always used to talk about leaving your hometown heading on south
Maybe down to New Orleans and you wanted me to help you out
But you were just a young girl and I was just a hobo
I had my doubts

Where In The World
Composer(s): Buddy Kaye; Carl Lampl
Performer(s): Dick Haymes



Where in the world will I find you
Where in the world, I wish I knew
Though I'm not near you, I hear you so well
Though I can't see you, to me
You are magic things that weave a spell

Did you just go by and say a word
Was it a sigh or breeze I heard
I'd go from here to right clear to a star
Anywhere in the world
To be where you are

Did you just go by and say a word
Was it a sigh or breeze I heard
I'd go from here to right clear to a star
Anywhere in the world
To be where you are

Barges
Composer(s): Ralph McTell
Performer(s): Ralph McTell



Me and my brother returned to the water
I saw a pike that was two feet long
Two small magicians, each with a jam jar
Cast spells on the water with hazel twig wands

Country boys catch tadpoles, dive into water
Made shy by their laughter, we wandered down stream
And summer rolled o'er us with no complications
'Cept thinking of Mama sometimes in dreams

Stand by the drawbridge, waiting for barges
Waiting around for smiles from the man
Lifting the bridge whilst watching the horses
Dragging the slow boats up the canal

I do remember the times but no number
After the day, but before evening comes
Waiting for castles and kettles with roses
Painted on barges that sailed into the sun

Oh, see the river run, that was by man begun
Open the locks, let the boats sail on,
Taking their castles and kettles with roses
With summers of childhood leaving smiles on the man

Where I Ought To Be
Composer(s): Harlan Howard
Performer(s): Skeeter Davis



I got your wedding invitation
I'm surprised you thought of me
But I don't believe your wedding
Is just where I ought to be

For you put your arms around her
Kissed her lips so tenderly
As she's standing there beside you
That's just where I ought to be

Like a fool I introduced you
I said, "Baby, meet my friend"
Never thought that I could lose you
But I lost you there and then

I took the diamond ring you gave me
Threw it way out in the sea
And I had an awful feeling
That's just where I ought to be

Da da da de de dee da...

Like a fool I introduced you
I said, "Baby, meet my friend"
Never thought that I could lose you
But I lost you there and then

I took the diamond ring you gave me
Threw it way out in the sea
And I had an awful feeling
That's just where I ought to be

Where I Am Going
Composer(s): Jimmy Webb
Performer(s): Glen Campbell



Feel like I'm coming out of the storm
Watching dark clouds drift away
Saying goodbye to all the pain I used to know
It's time to let it go

Just can't seem to make myself conform
To what the world wants me to be
But the difference doesn't hurt me anymore
I know they'll welcome me

Where I am going there will be no compromise
No tears will come to cloud my eyes
Where I am going
And all the precious world I've had to sacrifice
Will be given to me twice
Because He paid the price
And it's worth it all just knowing
Where I am going

Do you want to go riding with me
To a place that lasts forevermore
Please don't think that you are one among the few
I'm different just like you
Where I am going there will be no alibis
No might-have-beens or sacrifice
Where I am going

And all the questions still unanswered in my mind
Lord, I'll leave 'em all behind
I'll only find the answers
I'll only keep on going (Keep on going)
Where I'm going
(Where I am going) There will be no compromise
No tears will come to cloud my eyes
Where I am going
And all the precious world I've had to sacrifice
Will be given to me twice
Because He paid the price
And it's worth it all just knowing
Where I am going
(Where I am going there will be no alibis)
Where I am going
(Where I am going)
(And all the precious .......)

Voiles sur les filles
Barques sur le Nil
Je suis dans ta vie
Je suis dans tes bras

Alexandra, Alexandrie
Alexandrie où l'amour danse avec la nuit
J'ai plus d'appétit qu'un barracuda
Barracuda
Je boirai tout le Nil si tu n'me regardes pas
Je boirai tout le Nil si tu n'me retiens pas
Alexandrie, Alexandra
Alexandrie où l'amour danse au fond des bras
Ce soir j'ai de la fièvre et toi tu meurs de froid

Les sirènes du port d'Alexandrie
Chantent encore la même mélodie
La lumière du phare d'Alexandrie
Fait naufrager les papillons de ma jeunesse

Voiles sur les filles
Et barques sur le Nil
Je suis dans ta vie
Je suis dans tes draps

Alexandra, Alexandrie
Alexandrie où tout commence et tout finit
J'ai plus d'appétit qu'un barracuda
Barracuda
Je te mangerais crue si tu n'me reviens pas
Je te mangerais crue si tu n'me retiens pas

Alexandrie, Alexandra
Alexandrie, ce soir je danse dans tes draps
Je te mangerais crue si tu n'me retiens pas

Where Have We Met Before?
Composer(s): E.Y. Harburg; Vernon Duke
Performer(s): Victor Young



Where have we met before
Do you remember me
My heart keeps saying
"You're someone I know"

Where have we met before
Is this the mystery
That started
Ages and ages ago

Wasn't knighthood in flower
When I saw you somewhere
In a Babylon Tower
Or, perhaps, Berkeley Square

Where have we met before
Fate told me instantly
That you'd come back once more
Destined for me

Alexander The Medium
Composer(s): Paul Kantner
Performer(s): Jefferson Airplane



When the time does come near again
When the day does seem clear again
Make it in the night time
The dreams ands in the light time
All of you come away
Just a bow shot away
Let me tell you 'bout a story now
A tale of glory and power
And I don't even know your name
But I thought I'd tell you all about it just the same
We are all creatures of fame, lightness and liberty
In the times of the olden times
Of ancient ladies and maritime splendor
Priests of Karnak and Thebes
Could walk through the ocean and the seas
When the pyramid she would sigh
The waters streamed from the sky
The ocean you know is your firend
Your brother and sister just as sure as sin
Put your hands in the water
Rest your feet on the sea
You don't have to let your body die
You can come back again if you try, if you try
This song was made then by you and me
A billion years before these oceans rolled
Oh I can see you burning brightly
You shine like silver like sun gold
And a hundred years from today
All you people will be gone away
Down into the heart of the sea
Bak to the time of wonderwhy you and me
And I don't even know your name
But I thought I'd tell you all about it just the same
If you laugh real hard you win the game - hands down
Before old Alexander 'twas just the same as now
Can you smell the blood of fame, lightness and liberty?

Where Have All The Boot Boys Gone
Composer(s): Wayne Barrett; Michael J. Rossi
Performer(s): Slaughter & The Dogs;
Adolf & the Piss Artists



Wearing boots and short hair cuts
We will kick you in the gut
But no luck they've all grown up
They drink tea from a cup
Some get married and settle down
Others they leave for a foreign town
Fighting gangs every night
We use sticks hit 'em in the Kite

(Chorus) 
Where have all the boot boys gone?
Hammy, Jacko, Boots and John

Where have all the boot boys gone?
It looks like I'm the only one 
The one !!!!! 

Friday came we go to a dance hall
Battering stuff we have a ball 
We don't know what we've done
We go see United coz we're having fun
We get released on 50 quid bail
But I know I'll end up in jail
I was a leader I was so proud  
I hung with a gang, what a crowd 

(Chorus) 

Now it's been five years or more
I'm a skin don't know what for 
I don't know what I am
I don't see or give a damn 
I must stop this M.O.D
I must try, try and be me
I must listen 
I must try. 
I must move 
Move or die! 

(Chorus) 

C'mon 
Do ya wanna scrap? 
Get Ready then 
Where have all the boot boys gone?

Alexander The Great
Composer(s): Steve Harris
Performer(s): Iron Maiden; Eleventh Hour



My son, ask for thyself another kingdom
For that which I leave is to small for thee

Near to the East, in a part of ancient Greece
In an ancient land called Macedonia
Was born a son to Philip of Macedon
The legend his name was Alexander

At the age of nineteen, he became the Macedon king
And swore to free all of Asia Minor
By the Aegian Sea in 334 BC
He utterly beat the armies of Persia

Alexander the Great
His name struck fear into hearts of men
Alexander the Great
Became a legend 'mongst mortal men

King Darius the third, Defeated fled Persia
The Scythians fell by the river Jaxartes
Then Egypt fell to the Macedon king as well
And he founded the city called Alexandria

By the Tigris river, he met King Darius again
And crushed him again in the battle of Arbela
Entering Babylon and Susa, treasures he found
Took Persepolis, the capital of Persia

Alexander the Great
His name struck fear into hearts of men
Alexander the Great
Became a god amongst mortal men

A Phrygian King had bound a chariot yoke
And Alexander cut the "Gordion knot"
And legend said that who untied the knot
He would become the master of Asia

Helonism he spread far and wide
The Macedonian learned mind
Their culture was a western way of life
He paved the way for Christianity

Marching on, Marching on

The battle weary marching side by side
Alexander's army line by line
They wouldn't follow him to India
Tired of the combat, pain and the glory

Alexander the Great
His name struck fear into hearts of men
Alexander the Great
He died of fever in Babylon

Where Do You Go To (My Lovely)?
Composer(s): Peter Sarstedt
Performer(s): Peter Sarstedt



You talk like Marlene Dietrich 
And you dance like Zizi Jeanmaire 
Your clothes are all made by Balmain 
And there's diamonds and pearls in your hair, yes there are 

You live in a fancy apartment 
Off the Boulevard Saint-Michel 
Where you keep your Rolling Stones records 
And a friend of Sacha Distel, yes you do 

But where do you go to my lovely 
When you're alone in your bed 
Tell me the thoughts that surround you 
I want to look inside your head, yes I do 

I've seen all your qualifications 
You got from the Sorbonne 
And the painting you stole from Picasso 
Your loveliness goes on and on, yes it does 

When you go on your summer vacation 
You go to Juan-les-Pins 
With your carefully designed topless swimsuit 
You get an even suntan on your back and on your legs 

And when the snow falls you're found in Saint Moritz 
With the others of the jet-set 
And you sip your Napoleon brandy 
But you never get your lips wet, no you don't 

But where do you go to my lovely 
When you're alone in your bed 
Won't you tell me the thoughts that surround you 
I want to look inside your head, yes I do 

Your name, it is heard in high places 
You know the Aga Khan 
He sent you a racehorse for Christmas 
And you keep it just for fun, for a laugh a-ha-ha-ha 

They say that when you get married 
It'll be to a millionaire 
But they don't realize where you came from 
And I wonder if they really care, or give a damn 

Where do you go to my lovely 
When you're alone in your bed 
Tell me the thoughts that surround you 
I want to look inside your head, yes I do 

I remember the back streets of Naples 
Two children begging in rags 
Both touched with a burning ambition 
To shake off their lowly-born tags, so they try 

So look into my face Marie-Claire 
And remember just who you are 
Then go and forget me forever 
But I know you still bear the scar, deep inside, yes you do 

I know where you go to my lovely 
When you're alone in your bed 
I know the thoughts that surround you 
'Cause I can look inside your head
