All Over The World Composer(s): Françoise Hardy Performer(s): Françoise Hardy
All over the world, people must meet and part There's someone like me feeling the pain in their heart Some may meet agin, under that same white star If maybe some night you come back from afar Who cares if tonight I don't know where you are?
Are you thinking of me now Missing having me around? If you have forgotten me My world will come tumbling down
All over the world, others are sad tonight There's someone like me watching the sun's fading light All over the sky there is the same warm glow Here under that star I'm wanting you to know Wherever you are, that I still love you so
Wide Eyed And Legless Composer(s): Andy Fairweather Low Performer(s): Andy Fairweather Low
Wherever I go and whatever I do I seem to spend some of my time Trying to turn the black night, blue Well Im tired of it all Its the same thing every night But the rhythm of the glass Is stronger than the rhythm of night
Wide eyed and legless Ive gone and done it again Wide eyed and legless This world is full of my shame Shame, I cant get free from these chains Oh, oh-oh
Wide eyed and legless Ive gone and done it again Wide eyed and legless This world is full of my shame Shame, I cant get free from these chains Oh, oh-oh
Ive been here before But this time it feels like the end I shouldve known better, I know But my memorys no friend Well, Ive tried every thing That I know will get rid of this fling And I cant understand Why Im wide eyed and legless again
Wide eyed and legless Ive gone and done it again Wide eyed and legless This world is full of my shame Shame, I cant get free from these chains Oh, oh-oh
Wicked Messenger Composer(s): Bob Dylan Performer(s): The Small Faces; and various other artists
There was a wicked messenger from Eli he did come With a mind that multiplied the smallest matter When questioned who had sent for him he answered with a thumb For his tongue it could not speak, but only flatter
He stayed behind the assembly hall it was there that he made his bed Often times he could be seen returning Until one day he just appeared with a note in his hand which read "The soles of my feet, I swear they're burning"
The leaves began to fallin' And the seas began to part And the people that confronted him were many And he was told these last few words Which opened up his heart "If ye cannot bring good news, then don't bring any"
All Over The Place Composer(s): Andrew Eyton - Noel Gay Performer(s): Billy Thorburn and multiple other artists
All over the place Wherever the sea may happen to be A sailor is found, knocking around All over the place
All over the place The North and the South the East or the West There's half of the world tattooed on his chest And all over the place
All around the universe in any port of call Getting his fun, the son of a gun Never staying very long in any place at all He's here, he's there, he's every-bloomin'-where
He's all over the place The ladies adore to get him ashore He's theirs for the day And then he's away All over the place
Wichita Lineman Composer(s): Jimmy Webb Performer(s): Glen Campbell
I am a lineman for the county And I drive the main road Searchin' in the sun for another overload I hear you singing in the wires I can hear you through the whine And the Wichita lineman is still on the line
I know I need a small vacation But it don't look like rain And if it snows that that stretch down south Won't ever stand the strain And I need you more than want you And I want you for all time And the Wichita lineman is still on the line
And I need you more than want you And I want you for all time And the Wichita lineman is still on the line
All Over Nothing At All Composer(s): J. Keirn Brennan - Paul Cunningham - James Rule
Our dreaming, our scheming, was all in vain One lover's quarrel brought endless pain We had a wonderful start Who ever thought we would part?
How could we, why should we say it's the end Is this the one break nothing can mend? When there is so much at stake Why let our hearts ache and ache?
All over nothing at all Was our affections so small? Must I go on living like this Without the bliss of a sweet kiss? I'm so sorry I made you cry We could patch it up if we'd try Why must we both say Good Bye All over nothing at all!
Why'd Ya Make Me Fall In Love Composer(s): Walter Donaldson Performer(s): Benny Goodman; Glenn Miller
Why'd ya make me fall in love Why'd ya mention stars above Why'd ya make me fall in love with you? When I thought that love was blind Why'd ya make me change my mind Why'd ya make me fall in love with you? Fine thing Mister Smarty Fine thing thought you had a party Why'd ya make me fall so hard Should-a stayed in your own backyard Why'd ya make me fall in love with you?
All Over Composer(s): Phoebe Snow Performer(s): Phoebe Snow
Nine of diamonds, Nine of diamonds Lord, that's a lucky card We'll celebrate it, when we've made it I'll jump all over your yard I'll jump all over your yard, I'll jump all over... I don't know what hit me but I'm seeing Stars This comic book life is like being on Mars Thousands of warm hands are touching me All over, All over, I hope this will never be all over All over, All over, I hope this will never be all over The night queen fright wig street Parade may fade When we laugh at the statues of gods we have made Oceans of love-waves are washing me All over, All over, I hope this will never be all over All over, All over, I hope this will never be all over Nine of diamonds, Nine of diamonds Lord, that's a lucky card We'll celebrate it, when we've made it I'll jump all over your yard I'll jump all over your yard, I'll jump all over... When you feel that your train of thought's been derailed Let out your wild wishes from where they've been jailed You feel the future embracing you All over, All over, I hope this will never be all over All over, All over, I hope this will never be all over
Something is going wrong With the singer and the song And the music isn't gentle anymore There's a mist across the moon And the sun's too hot at noon And the house is dark behind the broken door Where the flowers used to grow With their leaves are hanging low And the constant shadow lies across the floor There's a strange and empty sky Where the wild birds used to fly And I never tasted bitter rain before
And will the grass be gone from underneath the sky Will the golden flower wither soon and die Will the fire burn out the land And the sea fill-up with sand Will the last word ever spoken be why? Will the last word ever spoken be why?
Someone's lost the plan For the brotherhood of man And no one's trying to find it anymore And the winds become a sigh For those who hate and those who die And the waves are black and slow along the shore
And will the grass be gone from underneath the sky Will the golden flower wither soon and die Will the fire burn out the land And the sea fill-up with sand Will the last word ever spoken be why? Will the last word ever spoken be why, why, why? Will the last word ever spoken be Why?
All Out Of Love ((French Version: Avec Ou Sans Toi (by Dave) - 1981)) Composer(s): Graham Russell - Clive Davis First release by: Air Supply - 1980 Covered by multiple other artists
I'm lying alone With my head on the phone Thinking of you till it hurts I know you're hurt too But what else can we do? Tormented and torn apart I wish I could carry y Our smile and my heart For times when my life seems so low It would make me believe What tomorrow could bring When today doesn't really know Doesn't really know
I'm all out of love I'm so lost without you I know you were right Believing for so long I'm all out of love What am I without you I can't be too late To say that I was so wrong
I want you to come back And carry me home Away from these long lonely nights I'm waiting for you Are you feeling it too Does the feeling seem oh so right And what would you say If I called on you now And said that I can't hold on There's no easy way It gets harder each day Please love me or I'll be gone I'll be gone
Oh, what are you thinking of? What are you thinking of? Oh, what are you thinking of? What are you thinking of?
Why Worry Composer(s): Mark Knopfler Performer(s): Dire Straits
Baby I see this world has made you sad Some people can be bad The things they do, the things they say But baby I'll wipe away those bitter tears I'll chase away those restless fears That turn your blue skies into grey
Why worry, there should be laughter after the pain There should be sunshine after rain These things have always been the same So why worry now
Baby when I get down I turn to you And you make sense of what I do I know it isn't hard to say But baby just when this world seems mean and cold Our love comes shining red and gold And all the rest is by the way
Why worry, there should be laughter after pain There should be sunsh ine after rain These things have always been the same So why worry now
Avec Ou Sans Toi ((Adapted from: All Out Of Love (by Air Supply) - 1980)) Composer(s): Graham Russell - Clive Davis - Patrick Loiseau Performer(s): Dave - 1981
Les larmes d'un homme ne regardent personne C'est une question de pudeur Je tiendrai debout, courageux jusqu'au bout Sans laisser flancher mon coeur Tu peux partir tranquille, ce n'est pas mon style De fermer la cage aux oiseaux Envole-toi vers ton île Les adieux difficiles N'aie pas peur, je t'en fais cadeau Je t'en fais cadeau!
Avec ou sans toi, aucune importance Bien sûr, quelquefois les nuits seront longues Avec ou sans toi, j'existe et je pense Qu'on n'est pas si mal, tout seul dans ce bon vieux monde
Surtout ne t'inquiète pas, j'suis plus un enfant Je m'en sortirai comme un grand J'travaillerai beaucoup, on s'habitue à tout Il suffit d'le vouloir vraiment Je sais qu't'es pressée mais, avant d'me laisser Souris-moi une dernière fois On peut s'embrasser, le plus dur est passé Va-t'en et ne t'en fais pas T'en fais pas!
Avec ou sans toi, aucune importance Bien sûr, quelquefois les nuits seront longues Avec ou sans toi, j'existe et je pense Qu'on n'est pas si mal, tout seul dans ce bon vieux monde
Que reste-t-il d'un homme? Que reste-t-il d'un homme Quand il n'a plus personne? Quand il n'a plus personne
Avec ou sans toi, aucune importance Bien sûr, quelquefois les nuits seront longues Avec ou sans toi, j'existe et je pense Qu'on n'est pas si mal, tout seul dans ce monde
Avec ou sans toi, aucune importance Bien sûr, quelquefois les nuits seront longues
Avec ou sans toi, aucune importance Bien sûr, quelquefois les nuits seront longues Avec ou sans toi, j'existe et je pense Qu'on n'est pas si mal, tout seul dans ce monde Qu'on n'est pas si mal, tout seul dans ce monde
All Our Dreams Are Sold Composer(s): Gary Brooker - Keith Reid - Robin Trower Performer(s): Procol Harum
Rings upon your fingers Bells upon your toes Evry days a game of chance Evry body knows In the kings apartment Heavy lies the crown There must be a thousand ways To bring that castle down
Wave the mighty dollar Make us live again Lead and we will follow Faithful to the end Wave the mighty dollar Pave the streets with gold Lead us by the collar All our dreams are sold
Rings upon your finger Stardust in your hair Jumping through that wall of fire All for the market share In the kings apartment Desperate human greed Try to find a diffrent way Satisfy that need
Wave the mighty dollar Make us live again Lead and we will follow Faithful to the end Wave the mighty dollar Pave the streets with gold Lead us by the collar All our dreams are sold
Why Walk When You Can Fly Composer(s): Mary Chapin Carpenter Performer(s): Mary Chapin Carpenter; and various other artists
In this world there's a whole lot of trouble, baby In this world there's a whole lot of pain In this world there's a whole lot of trouble But a whole lot of ground to gain Why take when you could be giving, why watch as the world goes by It's a hard enough life to be living, why walk when you can fly
In this world there's a whole lot of sorrow In this world there's a whole lot of shame In this world there's a whole lot of sorrow And a whole lotta ground to gain When you spend your whole life wishing, wanting and wondering why It's a long enough life to be living, why walk when you can fly
In this world there's a whole lot of cold In this world there's a whole lot of blame In this world you've a soul for a compass And a heart for a pair of wings There's a star on the far horizon, rising bright in an azure sky For the rest of the time that you're given, why walk when you can fly
All Our Days Composer(s): Sandy Denny First release by: Sandy Denny - 1977
We search for everything Keeping what we would win Orchids or tiny flowers Wooden huts or ivory towers Centuries or hours
Dark are the winter days Holy in many ways Vaults of time unshaken Whilst as through them we are taken Sleeping forests wake Ice melts on the lake Birds begin in making their way back home
The frost and the fire goes East winds and winter snows Sun upon the daffodils Dancing on the verdant hills Lambs in the fields
Warmer grows the morning sun Days of youthfulness and fun The prime of the year begun The song of summer to be sung Everything is one Working day is done Watch the river running through our lives
How slowly the colours change We feel the drops of rain Mists of evening rise again We rarely stroll the shadowed lanes As autumn night draws in
We sit upon the sand Warmth draining from the land Watching the ruby sun Setting on the ocean The echoes in the caves The flame upon the waves Memories for saving all our days
Why Should I Love You? Composer(s): Kate Bush Performer(s): Kate Bush; Mike Scott
This chapter says, put it out of your mind and give it time the violent purple the purest gold the red of the sacred heart the grey of the ghost the "l" of the lips are open to the "o" of the host the "v" of the velvet
Chorus
of all the people in the world why should I love you? there's just something bout you there's just something bout you of all the people in the world why should I love you?
have you ever seen a picture of Jesus laughing mmm do you think he had a beautiful smile a smile that healed
Chorus
of all the people in the world why should I love you (why should I love you) why should I love you (why should I love you)
All Or Nothing At All Composer(s): Arthur Altman - Jack Lawrence First release by: Bob Eberly & Jimmy Dorsey - 1939 Covered by multiple other artists
All or nothing at all Half a love, never appealed to me If your heart, never could yield to me Then I'd rather have nothing at all
All or nothing at all If it's love, there is no in between Why begin then cry, for something that might have been No I'd rather have nothing at all
But please don't bring your lips so close to my cheek Don't smile or I'll be lost beyond recall The kiss in your eyes, the touch of your hand makes me weak And my heart may go dizzy and fall
And if I fell under the spell of your call I would be, caught in the undertow So you see, I've got to say "No, No" All or nothing at all
Why Should I Cry Over You? Composer(s): Chester Conn; Ned Miller Performer(s): Frank Sinatra; and various other artists
I dont know why I should Cry over you Sigh Over you Even be blue
I should have known that youd leave me alone And break my heart in two Although you have left me alone to pine And all my love was a [big fat] waste of time Someday your heart will be broken like mine So why should I cry over you (x2)
You broke my heart, you took it apart So pack up your bags and beat it Why should I cry over yooouuuuuu?
