Alice In The Looking Glass
Composer(s): Matraca Berg - Gary Harrison
Performer(s): Matraca Berg



At nine o'clock each morning down on Charlotte Avenue
The bus driver stops and lets her off
Before the first shampoo
Alice started working there when she was just a girl
And now she mans the second chair
At Thelma's Cut and Curl

A trim is just ten dollars and the conversation's free
She recreates the latest styles of 1963
With a lipstick-circled cigarette constantly aflame
She greets all her clientele
By first and middle names

And even though that mirror paints a picture much too clear
She'll mix you up some magic and she'll dye away the years
And, oh, they come and go so fast
Don't they, Alice -- Alice in the looking glass

One time she was married, but now she lives alone
But there's a little ancient poodle
Waiting there for her at home
And she'll tell you all about him like he was her only child
And rubs her swollen ankles
While she waits for you to dry

There's a picture on the mirror there of her at seventeen
The day that Thelma did her hair when she was football queen
And, oh, they come and go so fast
Don't they, Alice -- Alice in the looking glass

Even though that mirror paints a picture much too clear
She'll mix you up some magic and she'll dye away the years
And, oh, they keep coming back
Don't they, Alice -- Alice in the looking glass

Where The Wind Blows
Composer(s): Terry Gilkyson
Performer(s): Frankie Laine



Gotta travel through rain and snow
And follow the trail where the mountains grow
Where the winds blow, where the winds blow
Maybe I'll ride over yonder
Maybe I'll hide, maybe I'll wander
Gotta have time just to ponder my soul
Maybe I'll go where the winds blow
(Where the winds blow)
Sheriff is ridin' behind me
Thinkin' that he is going to find me
To the live oak he will bind me, I know
Danglin' low, where the winds blow

Keep a-movin' on ya darned old Charlie horse
Take me to the hills
You gotta be right in a two gun fight
Or push up the daffodils
But if you beat him to the draw
You gotta get shot or break the law
Keep a-movin' on you darned old Charlie horse
Where the winds may blow

Maybe my gal knows my sorrow
Maybe I'll see her tomorrow
Gotta have time I can borrow
But no, can't let her go where the winds blow
Wonder if she is thinkin' of me
Watchin' the same stars above me
How can I ask her to love me and go
Where the winds blow, where the winds blow

Gotta travel through rain and snow
And follow the trail where the mountains grow
Where the winds blow, where the winds blow

Where the winds blow 

Alice Blue Gown
Composer(s): Harry Tierney - Joseph McCarthy
First performance/First recording by: Edith Day - 1919/Columbia Light Opera Company - 1920
Covered by multiple other artists



I once had a gown, it was almost new
Oh, the daintiest thing, it was sweet Alice blue
With little forget-me-nots placed here and there
When I had it on, I walked on the air
And it wore, and it wore, and it wore
'Til it went, and it wasn't no more

In my sweet little Alice blue gown
When I first wandered down into town
I was both proud and shy, as I felt every eye
And in every shop window I primped passing by
Then in manner of fashion, I'd frown
And the world seemed to smile all around
'Til it wilted, I wore it, I'll always adore it
My sweet little Alice blue gown

The little silk worms that made silk for that gown
Just made that much silk and then crawled in the ground
For there never was anything like it before
And I don't dare to hope there will be any more
But it's gone, 'cause it just had to be
Still it wears in my memory

In my sweet little Alice blue gown
When I first wandered down into town
I was both proud and so shy, as I felt every eye
And in every shop window I primped passing by
Then in manner of fashion, I'd frown
And the world seemed to smile all around
So it wouldn't be proper if made of silk were another
My sweet little Alice blue gown

Steve Hackett; Anthony Phillips; Mike Rutherford
Performer(s): Genesis



We're waiting for you
Come and join us now
We need you with us
Come and join us now

Look inside your mind
See the darkness creeping out
I can see the softness there
Where the sunshine is gliding in
Fill your mind with love
Find the world of future glory

You can meet yourself
Where the sour turns to sweet
Leave your ugly selfish shell
To melt in the glowing flames
Can you sense the change
See your eyes, now listen

We're waiting for you
Come and join us now
We want you with us
Come and join us now

Paint your face all white
To show the peace inside
Drift away while the saffron burns
To the land where the rainbow ends
Can you sense the change?
See your eyes in focus

We're waiting for you
Come and join us now
We need you with us
Come and join us now

We're waiting for you
Come and join us now
We need you with us
Come and join us now

We want you with us
Come and join us now
We need you with us
Come and join us now 

Alice
Composer(s): Tom Waits - Kathleen Brennan
First release by: Tom Waits - 2002



It's dreamy weather we're on
You waved your crooked wand
Along an icy pond with a frozen moon
A murder of silhouette crows I saw
And the tears on my face
And the skates on the pond
They spell Alice

I disappear in your name
But you must wait for me
Somewhere across the sea
There's a wreck of a ship
Your hair is like meadow grass on the tide
And the raindrops on my window
And the ice in my drink
Baby all I can think of is Alice

Arithmetic arithmetock
Turn the hands back on the clock
How does the ocean rock the boat?
How did the razor find my throat?
The only strings that hold me here
Are tangled up around the pier

And so a secret kiss
Brings madness with the bliss
And I will think of this
When I'm dead in my grave
Set me adrift and I'm lost over there
And I must be insane
To go skating on your name
And by tracing it twice
I fell through the ice
Of Alice

And so a secret kiss
Brings madness with the bliss
And I will think of this
When I'm dead in my grave
Set me adrift and I'm lost over there
And I must be insane
To go skating on your name
And by tracing it twice
I fell through the ice
Of Alice
There's only Alice 

Where The Morning Glories Grow
Composer(s): Richard Whiting - Ray Egan - Gus Kahn
Performer(s): Bing Crosby
and multiple other artists



I remember, I remember the place where I was born
Where the morning glories twine around the door at early morn
I've forgotten, I've forgotten how long I've been away
But I'd like to wander back again down the lane to yesterday
I want to wake up in the morning where the morning glories grow
Where the sun comes peepin' in where I'm sleepin' and the songbirds say "Hello"
I long to wander in the wildwood where the rippling waters flow
And go drifting back to childhood, where the morning glories grow
I remember, I remember the schoolhouse on the hill
And I wonder if the tiny folks are climbing up there still
I can picture, I can picture the dear old swimming pool
And the happy days that I spent there when I should have been in school
I want to wake up in the morning where the morning glories grow
Where the sun comes peepin' in where I'm sleepin' and the songbirds say "Hello"
I long to wander in the wildwood where the rippling waters flow
And go drifting back to childhood, where the morning glories grow

Performer(s): Sham 69



Alice, Alice had a dream
She dreamt Elizabeth Taylor was her next door neighbour
She's candy floss in a 60s skirt
She's I learn to pogo
But she ain't no flirt
She dresses in pink yellowy blue
She walks around with nothing to do
Shes Richard and Judy
Cider and sleep
The one that you look at walking down the street

Alice let's get drunk tonight
Alice it'll be alright
Alice let's get drunk tonight
Alice it'll be alright

Alice, Alice had a dream
She dreamt her Dr Martens turned to ice cream
She's a strawberry girl with a Robert Smith poster
She's fishnet and lipstick but she didn't nick it
She's all tattoo and laces polka dot and stripe
The girl on the bus not the one on the bike
She's 77 all of the day
And I know that you're listening
When you're hearing me say

Alice let's get drunk tonight
Alice it'll be alright
Alice let's get drunk tonight
Alice it'll be alright

Alice, Alice had a dream
She had sex with a rabbit in the forest of Dean
She's chocolate in an Oxfam wispa
She's all upstairs and downstairs
She comes from Gloucester
She's Manchester, Brighton, Weybridge and home
She'll tell you all about it when she's on the phone
She's oh what a bargain and that's really nice
And if you have her for dinner no meat only rice

Alice let's get drunk tonight
Alice it'll be alright
Alice let's get drunk tonight
Alice it'll be alright
Alice let's get drunk tonight
Alice it'll be alright
Alice let's get drunk tonight
Alice it'll be alright 

Where The Golden Sliprails Are Down
Performer(s): Slim Dusty



Let's walk down that long road together
the road that we know as lifes span
if you'll be my wife, 'til the end of my life
I'll be your true lovin' man
we'll take each steep grade together
let showers of strife tumble down
we'll share every bend 'til we find in the end
Where the golden sliprails are down

Let's walk down that long road together
'til lifes long journey is done
our thoughts straight ahead, like the great saviour said
we'll find his home one by one
in the glory of his tender blessing
eternal love will abound
no gates will be closed, in that heavenly abode
Where the golden sliprails are down

Let's walk down that long road together
the light from our love will show the way
your sweet tender smile will lighten each mile
and roll the dark clouds away
so come let us walk to the altar, our lives forever be bound
then we'll go as one towards the setting sun
Where the golden sliprails are down 

Alice
Composer(s): Ian Hunter
Performer(s): Mott The Hoople



Now Alice needed money I put $10 on the breeze
As the wind died away she sank way below her knees
And as a hurricane passed by she clutched the money from the sky
She must have been at least a fathom high
She works the 42nd beat on 42nd street
with all her golden ambitions and dead rhinestones in her feet
and when a stranger said she sucked she just smiled believing luck
as she climed into his truck to make a buck
Oh my god, she's running round the trees
Said she couldn't touch them because they're so real
Alice you remind me of Manhattan
The seedy and the snaz, the shoeboys and the satins
Like a throne made of gilt that too many johns have sat in
Oh, I got my eyes on you
Now keep a watch on your watch and a watch on her watch
cause if you ain't too careful he's gonna kick you in the crotch
and you're out in the cold and you know that you've been rolled
and the cops don't even stop and you feel old
See Alice really liked you but you stayed a while too long
now she wants you to forget it and come back before too long
but make it quick if you could, she's gonna star in Hollywood
the producer seems to think, she's kinda good
Me and my camera eyes sitting on a fence
laughing at the lights of New York City
Alice you remind of Manhattan
the seedy and snaz, the shoeboys and the satins
like a throne made of gilt that too many johns have sat in
Oh, just come over
Roll Up
See Alice on the palace where her name adorns the boards
ain't no flash in her Cannes, she got the willpower of a horse
and it's a long way to Broadway from a 42nd lay
or is it really just a couple of blocks away
Now I wonder if she wonders if I wonder if she wonders
about the times I put her down when she seemed to be right under?
She told me morals are traditions, contradictions, superstitions
see Alice is always based on split decisions
Me and my stupidity sittin' on a fence
and digging what I thought was New York City
Oh Alice, you remind me of Manhattan
the seedy and snaz, the shoeboys and the satins
like a throne made of gilt that too many johns have sat in
Oh, I like you
Yeah Alice, the lights were meant for you
your weaknesses successful and your selfishness the clue
you gotta lose what you get and for what you get you lose
Oh, I know it
Oh Alice, don't stop and think a minute
or your brain is gonna get ya, drop your heart right in it
and you're a shooting star and you'll die if you don't win it
Yeah
You didn't make the book

Where The Boys Are
Composer(s): Howie Greenfield; Neil Sedaka
Performer(s): Connie Francis



Where the boys are, someone waits for me
A smilin' face, a warm embrace, two arms to hold me tenderly
Where the boys are, my true love will be
He's walkin' down some street in town and I know he's lookin' there for me

In the crowd of a million people I'll find my valentine
And then I'll climb to the highest steeple and tell the world he's mine

Till he holds me I wait impatiently
Where the boys are, where the boys are
Where the boys are, someone waits for me

Till he holds me I wait impatiently
Where the boys are, where the boys are
Where the boys are, someone waits for me 

Alice
Composer(s): Claude Moine - Pierre Papadiamondis
Performer(s): Eddy Mitchell



Alice, ton pays aux merveilles n'existe plus
Alice, quand tu sors du sommeil tu n'y crois plus

Ce pays que j'ai cherché sans toi
M'obsédait des jours entiers
Et je voulais vivre dans cet endroit
Afin de pouvoir t'aimer... t'aimer

Alice, si tu entends ma voix te supplier
Oh Alice, je t'en prie répond-moi, viens me chercher

Je t'en prie viens me chercher
Car l'enfant que j'étais n'a cessé cessé de t'aimer

Ce pays que j'ai cherché sans toi
M'obsédait des jours entiers
Mais je voulais vivre dans cet endroit
Afin de pouvoir t'aimer... t'aimer

Alice, ton pays aux merveilles n'existe plus
Alice, quand tu sors du sommeil tu n'y crois plus
Oh Alice ...

Where The Blue Of Night (Meets The Gold Of The Day) 
Composer(s): Turk; Bing Crosby; Ahlert
Performer(s): Bing Crosby



Where the blue of the night meets the gold of the day 
Someone waits for me
And the gold of her hair crowns the blue of her eyes 
Like a halo tenderly 

If only I could see her
Oh how happy I would be 
Where the blue of the night meets the gold of the day 
Someone waits for me 

Alibis
Composer(s): Tony Mcaulay - Tom Snow
Performer(s): Sergio Mendes



It's nothin' I can put my finger on
But it's there, I swear
It's not somethin' I'm imaginin'
Each time you call
I know I'll get your "working late" routine again
Is there someone I should know about?
Tell me why do I have this doubt?

I'm sure your alibis are watertight
And you're where you have to be tonight
Whoa, oh, but I know you're slippin' away from me

I'm know your alibis are watertight
And you're where you say you are tonight
But honey, I can tell 
I know the pattern much too well
I don't fool so easily
Slippin' away from me

Your telephone service says you're out again
Somewhere, out there, you've got another rendezvous
I know the way you work
You'll be someplace where no one can check up on you
You think you're in the clear but don't forget
That's exactly the way we met

I'm sure your alibis are watertight
And you're where you have to be tonight
Whoa, oh, but I know you're slippin' away from me

I know your alibis are watertight
And you're where you say you are tonight
But honey, I can tell 
I know the pattern much too well
I don't fool so easily
Slippin' away from me

Is there someone I should know about?
Tell me why do I have this doubt

I'm sure your alibis are watertight
And you're where you have to be tonight
Whoa, oh, but I know you're slippin' away from me

I know your alibis are watertight
And you're where you say you are tonight
But honey, I can tell 
I know the pattern much too well
I don't fool so easily
Slippin' away from me

I'm sure your alibis are watertight
And you're where you have to be tonight
Whoa, oh, but I know you're slippin' away from me ...

Where The Black-Eyed Susans Grow
Composer(s): Dave Radford; Richard A. Whiting



I know a plain old fashioned farmhouse
down a pretty little lane
Where yellow daisies make a pathway 
to the fields of golden grain
There a little girl is waiting where I found her years ago 
Something tells me that I'm welcome 
where the Black-eyed Susans grow

Her daddy's just a plain old farmer, mother's just a farmer too
they surely raised some pretty Daisy when they raised my little Sue
You may have your pretty Roses, Violets and Pansies too 
you can keep your snow white Lilies, I will leave them all for you

I'm going back to a shack where the Black-eyed Susans grow
I love 'em so 
they're all around on the ground where I found the one I know so long ago 
The honey bees all know I'm comin', I seem to hear them softly hummin' 
"You'll be losin' your little Susan, you'd better be getting busy buzzin' around" 
To stroll again down the lane to the plain old rustic seat will be a treat 
and then I'll bring out the ring for the finger of my sweet 
She's mighty sweet 
And when I'm tied to the pride of the country side 
maybe I'll introduce you to my corn fed bride 
when I come back from the shack where the Black-eyed Susans grow 

Alibi
Composer(s): Christopher Cross - Rob Meurer
Performer(s): Christopher Cross



It's a calm wind blowing on my skin
And I've been dreaming again
Now that we're all here
We can share these notes and all this madness
We can talk of innocence
And of all the things we believe in

Is it an alibi
Is it the reason why
Is it the way we really feel inside
Set it free

The magic of those nights brings me closer to that light
That helps me see the path ahead of me
I can feel that something
A hint of mystery
A trace of dare
To live the truth I hide somewhere

Daybreak
In a place I've known before
Will I find me behind that final door

I can hear the footsteps of the past
I can feel the thunder and it's coming fast
I'm gonna spend some time with the moon
Pour myself a glass of midnight
Keep myself in tune

Is it an alibi
Is it the tears I cry
Is it the way I see it through your eyes

The magic of those nights brings me closer to that light
That helps me see the path ahead of me
I can feel that something
A hint of mystery
A trace of dare
To live the truth I hide somewhere

Where Or When
Composer(s): Richard Rogers; Lorenz Hart
Performer(s): Dion & The Belmonts;
and various other artists



It seems we stood and talked like this before
We looked at each other in the same way then
But I can't remember where or when

The clothes you're wearing are the clothes you wore
The smile you were smiling you were smiling then
But I can't remember where or when

Some things that happened for the first time
Seem to be happening again

And so it seems that we have met before
And laughed before and loved before
But who knows where or when? 

Ali Baba's Camel
Composer(s): Noel Gay
Performer(s): Cicely Courtneidge; The Bonzo Dog Band



You've heard of Ali Baba 
Forty thieves had he
Out for what we all want 
Lots of LSD
He also had a camel 
Stole it from a zoo
How he loved the camel, and the camel loved him too
Oh, how the how the camel loved Ali Ba(r)Ba(r)!

Ali Baba's camel loved Ali Baba so
No matter where he went to, that camel had to go
Some say that he's in heaven, but this I know is true
Wherever you think Ali has gone, his camel's gone there too

(oh, buddy cam-ee)

Crossing the equator, oooo, how hot it was
Poor old Ali Baba cursed and swore, because
He was so very thirsty, and everybody knows
It's horrible to walk for miles with sand between your toes
Oh, how the camel loved Ali Baba... brrrrr!

Ali Baba's camel turned 'round and licked his hand
He said, "Oh, Ali Baba, I surely understand"
"We must find an oasis and get a drink somehow"
"But, hark! I hear the temple bells! They'll all be open now"

They entered for the races at the desert sports
There goes Ali's camel in his filthy cotton shorts
The starter cracked his pistol off the camel's head
Ali Baba's camel wins by half a camel's hair
Hey Ali Baba, Hey Ali Baba 
Your camel loves you!
Your camel loves you!

Ali Baba's camel had run for miles and miles
His tail was pointing backwards 
That's how a camel smiles
But Ali and his camel, they both were out of breath
They'd run so far, they laughed so much
They laughed themselves to death

Oh! Gather 'round the campfire! Sing a rondelet!
But don't sing out of tune, though 
('Cause eggs are cheap today!)
Sing of Ali Baba 
Sing about his men
Sing about his camel, and then sing it all again
Oh, how the camel loved Ali Baba

Ali Baba's camel loved Ali Baba so
No matter where he went to, that camel had to go
Some say that he's in heaven, but this I know as well
Wherever you think Ali has gone, his camel's gone to 

(hey, give us a tune there, Jock! Yahoo!)

Where No Cabins Fall
Composer(s): Nolan Jeffress
Performer(s): The Country Gentlemen;
Chestnut Grove Quartet; Rhonda Vincent



As my mind wanders back to the quaint little shack
Where in childhood I used to play
There with mother and dad, we were happy and glad
As we whiled the sweet moments away
We would all kneel in prayer and in reverence there
We would praise the redeemer on high
Now in sadness I pine for that old home of mine
And I long for that mother’s love

(Chorus)

I’d like to go back to that quaint little tumble-down shack
I’d like to spend a day where in heaven forever I’ll stay
But time won’t turn back; we must travel till Jesus shall call
Then we’ll be happy in that land where no cabins fall

Though I drifted away from childhood’s sweet play
I can still hear those voices sweet
They are calling me back to that quaint little shack
Where the circle will never more meet
But til that happy day, up in heaven they say
We will praise the redeemer on high
Now in sadness I pine for that old home of mine
And I long for that mother’s love

(Chorus)

I’d like to go back to that quaint little tumble-down shack
I’d like to spend a day where in heaven forever I’ll stay
but time won’t turn back; we must travel til Jesus shall call
Then we’ll be happy in that land where no cabins fall

In that land where no cabins fall
