All That Meat And No Potatoes Composer(s): Ed Kirkeby - Fats Waller Performer(s): Fats Waller and multiple other artists
A man works hard, then comes on home Expects to find stew with that fine ham bone He opens the door then start to lookin' Says, "Woman, what's this stuff you're cookin'?"
All that meat, and no potatoes Just ain't right, like green tomatoes Yeah, I'm waiting, palpatatin' But all that meat, and no potatoes
All that meat, and no potatoes All that food, to the alligators, yeah Hold me steady, I am ready With all that meat and no potatoes
I don't think that peas are bad With me, most anything goes I look in the pot, I'm fit to fight 'Cause woman, you know that mess ain't right
All that meat, and no potatoes Just ain't right, like green tomatoes Yes, I'm steamin', I'm really screamin' All that meat and no potatoes
Wild Horses Composer(s): Mick Jagger; Keith Richards Performer(s): The Rolling Stones
Childhood living is easy to do The things you wanted I bought them for you Graceless lady you know who I am You know I can't let you slide through my hands
Wild horses couldn't drag me away Wild, wild horses, couldn't drag me away
I watched you suffer a dull aching pain Now you decided to show me the same No sweeping exits or offstage lines Could make me feel bitter or treat you unkind
Wild horses couldn't drag me away Wild, wild horses, couldn't drag me away
I know I dreamed you a sin and a lie I have my freedom but I don't have much time Faith has been broken, tears must be cried Let's do some living after we die
Wild horses couldn't drag me away Wild, wild horses, we'll ride them some day
Wild horses couldn't drag me away Wild, wild horses, we'll ride them some day
The love in you and the love in me, is all that matters All the rest is vanity That time will shatter The only treasure in the life we live, is the measure of the love we give All that matters in the end will be The love in you and the love in me, that's all that matters
Every heart must change it's shape To fit the space a lifetime makes Some regrets and some mistakes We touch happiness but we can't hold her Feelings come and then disappear I know the laughter, I've cried those tears I should know better after all these years But I'm no wiser, I'm just older
It's all a question of priority We've got so much that we just don't need But if it ain't got love then it's luxury We can learn to live without it
Wild Horses Composer(s): Roy Freeland; Gino Vannelli Performer(s): Gino Vannelli
As the sun goes down on the arizona plain and the wind whistles by like a runaway train hey hey hey it's a beautiful thing well it's me and you and a flatbed truck my heart kicking over like a whitetail buck hey hey hey in the middle of spring
You can cut me deep you can cut me down you can cut me loose don't you know it's okay you can kick and scream you can slap my face you can set my wheels on a high speed chase hey no matter what you do
Wild horses could not drag me away from you Wild horses could not drag me away from you
As the sky falls down from the midnight blue spittin' like bullets on a hot tin roof hey hey hey it's a beautiful sound well it's me and you in a flatbed truck in a foot of mud just my luck hey hey hey a hundred miles out of town
You can call me a fool you can call me blind you can call it quits can't hear a word you say cause if I had you once I'm gonna have you twice I'm gonna follow my heart instead of good advice hey no matter what you do
Wild horses could not drag me away from you Wild horses could not drag me away from you
All That Keeps Me Goin' Composer(s): Bill Anderson Performer(s): Bill Anderson
All that keeps me goin' Is knowin' that you love me and you're mine All that keeps me goin' Is knowin' you're gonna see me through troubled times
This morning when I woke up that ole sun didn't wanna shine So I just laid back and let your mem'ry fell down across my mind And suddenly it was yesterday and I was lying in your arms And somehow just the thought of you turned my world on and made me warm
All that keeps me goin'... All that keeps me goin'...
I was talkin' to Chuck in his Genghis Khan suit and his wizard's hat He spoke of his movie and how he was makin' a new sound track
And then we spoke of kids on the coast and different types of organic soap And the way suicides don't leave notes Then we spoke of Lorraine always back to Lorraine
I was speakin' to Phil who was given to pills and small racing cars He had given them up since his last crack-up had carried him too far
Then we spoke of the movies and verse and the way an actress held her purse And the way life at times can get worse Then we spoke of Lorraine always back to Lorraine
Ah, she's a wild child and nobody can get at her She's a wild child oh, and nobody can get to her
Sleepin' out on the street Oh, livin' all alone without a house or a home and then she asked you, please hey, baby, can I have some spare change Oh, can I break your heart?
She's a wild child, she's a wild child
I was talkin' to Betty about her auditions how they made her ill But life is the theater, is certainly fraught with many spills and chills
But she'd come down after some wine which is what happens most of the time Then we sat and both spoke in rhymes Till we spoke of Lorraine ah, always back to Lorraine
I was talking to Ed who'd been reported dead by mutual friends He thought it was funny that I had no money to spend on him
So we both shared a piece of sweet cheese and sang of our lives and our dreams And how things can come apart at the seams And we talk of Lorraine always back to Lorraine
She's a wild child oh, and nobody can get at her She's a wild child oh, and nobody can get to her
Sleepin' out on the street Oh, livin' all alone without a house or a home and then she asked you, please, oh, baby, can I have some spare change Now can I break your heart?"
Wild Bill Jones (Traditional) Performer(s): The Stanley Brothers; and various other artists
As I went down for to take a little walk I came upon that Wild Bill Jones He was a walkin and a talkin by my true lovers side And I bid him to leave her alone
He said my age is twenty-one Too old to be controlled I pulled my revolver from my side And I destroyed that poor boys soul
He reeled and he staggered, and he fell to the ground And then he gave one dying moan He wrapped his arms around my little girls neck Saying honey wont you take me home
So put them handcuffs on me boys And lead me to that freight car gate I have no friends or relations there No-one for to go my bail
So pass around that old long necked bottle And well all go on a spree For today was the last of that Wild Bill Jones And tomorrow will be the last of me
They sent me to prison for twenty long years This poor boy longs to be free But Wild Bill Jones and that long-necked bottle Have been the ruin of me
All That I Need Composer(s): Blind Melon Performer(s): Blind Melon
All that I need is the air that I breathe And all that I need are things I don't need And all that really matters is what matters to me And who of you are like me
If I was to smile and I held out my hand If I opened it now would you not understand Because you know if I'm to benefit I'll do everything that I can And who of you are like me
It will make you feel good, over my shoulder It'll get me down and got me tied up 'Till I grow older, but feel me inside of you Like you want it to
But is it just the pains in your head That are thrilling me Another life's falling down onto it's knees But I'll never smile the way, that I did like that day
Everything will be Okay Everything will be Okay It'll be Okay

Chorus It's four in the mornin' and you're all alone With no place to go why don't you come home I'll be right here, baby, waitin' for you I know you've been wild and blue

Wig-Wam Bam Composer(s): Mike Chapman; Nicky Chinn Performer(s): The Sweet
Hiawatha didn't bother too much 'Bout Minnie Ha-Ha and her tender touch Till she took him to the silver stream Then she whispered words like he had never heard That made him all shudder inside when she said Wig-wam bam, gonna make you my man Wam bam bam, gonna get you if I can Wig-wam bam, wanna make you understand Try a little touch, try a little too much Just try a little wig-wam bam

All Stood Still Composer(s): Warren Cann - Chris Cross - Billy Currie - Midge Ure Performer(s): Ultravox
The lights went out (the last fuse blew) The clocks all stopped (it can't be true) The program's wrong (what can we do?) The printout's blocked (it relied on you)
The turbine cracked up The buildings froze up The system choked up What can we do?
Please remember to mention me In tapes you leave behind
We stood still We all stood still Still stood still We're standing still
The screen shut down (there's no reply) The lifts all fall (a siren cries) And the radar fades (a pilot sighs) As the countdowns stall (the readout lies)
The turbine cracked up The buildings froze up The system choked up What can we do?
Please remember to mention me In tapes you leave behind
We stood still We all stood still Still stood still We're standing still
The black box failed (the codes got crossed) And the jails decayed (the keys got lost) Everyone kissed (we breath exhaust) In the new arcade (of the holocaust)
The turbine cracked up The buildings froze up The system choked up What can we do?
Please remember to mention me In tapes you might leave behind
We stood still We all stood still Still stood still We're standing still
We stood still We all stood still Still stood still We're standing still
