Twist In My Sobriety
Composer(s): Tanita Tikaram
First release: Tanita Tikaram - 1988
Covered by multiple other artists



All God's children need travelling shoes
Drive your problems from here
All good people read good books
Now your conscience is clear 
Now your conscience is clear

In the morning when I wipe my brow
Wipe the miles away
I like to think I can be so willed
And never do what you say 
And never do what you say

Look my eyes are just holograms
Look your love has drawn red from my hands
From my hands you know you'll never be
More than twist in my sobriety
More than twist in my sobriety
More than twist in my sobriety

We just poked a little pie
For the fun that people have at night
Late at night don't need hostility
The timid smile and pause to free

I don't care about their different thoughts
Different thoughts are good for me
Up in arms and chaste and whole
All God's children took their toll

Look my eyes are just holograms
Look your love has drawn red from my hands
From my hands you know you'll never be
More than twist in my sobriety
More than twist in my sobriety
More than twist in my sobriety

Cup of tea take time to think yeah
Time to risk a life a life a life
Sweet and handsome soft and porky
You pig out 'til you've seen the light
Pig out 'til you've seen the light

Half the people read the papers
Read them good and well
Pretty people nervous people
People have got to sell
News you have to sell

Look my eyes are just holograms
Look your love has drawn red from my hands
From my hands you know you'll never be
More than twist in my sobriety
More than twist in my sobriety
More than twist in my sobriety

Venetian Blue
Composer(s): Shawn Colvin; Leventhal
Performer(s): Shawn Colvin



It still hasn't snowed in a lifetime
And I am still frozen in time
Where did you come from?
How could you leave
And why can't you be mine?

I'm caught in between a lifeline
And a love so deep I will drown
Let it pour like silver
In this empty room
And wear this memory down

So come to me soon and I'll hold you
We'll be eye to eye, skin to skin
And I'll stroke the fire
Of this cruel December
Until I see you again

Then I'll lay you down in May
I'll have my way with you
The water town
Is raining down
Pools of Venetian Blue

Let it pour like silver
In this empty room
Pools of Venetian Blue

Kiss The Boys Goodbye
From the film "Kiss The Boys Goodbye"
Composer(s): Frank Loesser; Victor Schertzinger
Performer(s): Anne Shelton;
and various other artists



We're such a happy pair
That it isn't right, no, it isn't fair
To all those other boys I gave the air...

So, Daddy, let me stay out late
For tomorrow is our wedding date
Let the Baby kinda celebrate
Kiss the boys goodbye

Daddy, let me wear the mink
What's the difference what the neighbours think
Let the Baby linger on the brink
Oh, kiss the boys goodbye

And while I'm kissing them sentiment'ly
Keep the liberal point of view
Because I'm breaking it to them gently
That my heart belongs to you

So, Daddy, please remember this
That tomorrow starts a life of bliss
Let me show them what they're gonna miss
Kiss the boys goodbye

----------


As sung by Mary Martin:

So

Refrain

Let the baby kinda celebrate
Kiss the boys goodbye
Daddy, let me wear the mink
What's the diff'rence what the neighbors think?

Chorus:
Let the baby linger on the brink
Kiss the boys goodbye
And while I'm kissing them sentiment'ly
Keep the liberal point of view
Because I'm breaking it to them gently

Chorus and Martin:
That my heart belongs to you

Chorus:
So, Daddy, please remember this
That tomorrow starts a life of bliss

Girl:
Let me show them what they're gonna miss

Chorus:
Kiss the boys goodbye

Reprise

Martin:
Oh, Daddy, let me stay out late
Can't the baby kinda celebrate?
Beat me, Daddy, with an old whisk broom
Kiss the boys goodbye
Oh, Daddy, let me wear the mink
I don't know the words, but I think
We'll stick around and go to town
Kiss the boys goodbye

I Won't Take Less Than Your Love
Composer(s): Paul Overstreet; Don Schlitz
First release by: Tanya Tucker, Paul Davis & Paul Overstreet - 1987



How much do I owe you? said the husband to his wife
For standing beside me through the hard years of my life
Shall I bring you diamonds, shall I buy you furs?
Say the word and it's yours
And his wife said: I won't take less than your love, sweet love
No, I won't take less than your love
All the riches of the world could never be enough
And I won't take less than your love

How much do I owe you? to the mother said the son
For all that you have taught me in the days that I was young
Shall I bring expensive blankets to cast upon your bed?
And a pillow for to rest your weary head

And the mother said: I won't take less than your love, sweet love
No, I won't take less than your love
All the comforts of the world could never be enough
And I won't take less than your love

How much do I owe you? said the man to his Lord
For giving me this day and every day that's gone before
Shall I build a temple, shall I make a sacrifice?
Tell me Lord and I will pay the price

And the Lord said: I won't take less than your love, sweet love
No, I won't take less than your love
All the treasures of the world could never be enough
And I won't take less than your love

I won't take less than your love, sweet love
No, I won't take less than your love
All the treasures of the world could never be enough
And I won't take less than your love

No, I won't take less than your love

Kiss The Children
Composer(s): Gram Parsons & Rick Grech
Performer(s): Gram Parsons;
Rick Grech; Bill & Audrey



Well, it's said my life is been so free and easy
But I'll tell you now the story isn't so
Cause I've spent a lot of time down on the corner
Tasting tears and spilling whisky on the floor

Such a shame that it's so hard from me
To tell the truth to you
But by now you know the kind of man I am
So don't turn your pretty face away from me, dear
Cause there's kids and this game don't understand

James Burton Electric Guitar solo 

One more night like this would put me six feet under
But my heart will still be fighting for your love
Just remember, little darling, that I love you
And kiss the children for me, please, before you go

Pedal Steel Guitar solo

So don't play this crazy game with me no longer
Cause I won't be able to resist my rage
And the gun that's hangin on the kitchen wall, dear
Is like the road sign pointing straight to satan's cage
And the gun that's hangin on the kitchen wall, dear
Is like the road sign pointing straight to satan's cage

I Won't Send Roses
From "Mack & Mabel"
Composer(s): Jerry Herman
and multiple other artists



Mack:
I won't send roses
Or hold the door
I won't remember
Which dress you wore
My heart is too much in control
The lack of romance in my soul
Will turn you grey, kid
So stay away, kid
Forget my shoulder
When you're in need
Forgetting birthdays
Is guaranteed
And should I love you, you would be
The last to know
I won't send roses
And roses suit you so

My pace is frantic
My temper's cross
With words romantic
I'm at a loss
I'd be the first one to agree
That I'm preoccupied with me
And it's inbred, kid
So keep your head, kid
In me you'll find things
Like guts and nerve
But not the kind of things
That you deserve
And so while there's a fighting chance
Just turn and go
I won't send roses
And roses suit you so

Kiss You All Over
Composer(s): Mike Chapman; Nicky Chinn
Performer(s): Exile;
and various other artists



When I get home, babe, gonna light your fire
All day I've been thinkin' about you, babe
You're my one desire

Gonna wrap my arms around you
Hold you close to me
Oh, babe I wanna taste your lips
I wanna fill your fantasy, yeah

I don't what I'd do without you, babe
Don't know where I'd be
You're not just another lover
No, you're everything to me

Ev'rytime I'm with you, baby
I can't believe it's true
When you're layin' in my arms 'n' you do the things you do

You can see it in my eyes
I can feel it in your touch
You don't have to say a thing
Just let me show how much
Love you, need you, yeah

I wanna kiss you all over
And over again
I wanna kiss you all over
Till the night closes in
Till the night closes in

Stay with me, lay with me, holding me, loving me, baby
Here with me, near with me, feeling you close to me, baby

So show me, show me ev'rything you do
'cause baby no one does it quite like you

Love you, need you, oh, babe

I wanna kiss you all over
And over again
I wanna kiss you all over
Till the night closes in
Till the night closes in
Till the night closes in
Till the night closes in

I Won't Mention It Again
Composer(s): Cam Mullins
Performer(s): Ray Price
and multiple other artists



I know you're tired of being all I ever wanted
You no longer feel the love I have for you
What happens now, what will I do with all the mem'ries
And the dreams of all the things we'll never do

But I won't mention it again
I won't think about tomorrow
Just let it happen
Live each hour, day by day
But let me tell you before you go
How much I love you
Then I won't mention it again
I won't mention it again

I feel my life has reached an early sign of autumn
In my heart the leaves are falling, love is cold
And everything that once was warm and new is gone now
Leaving nothing but this hunger in my soul

But I won't mention it again
I won't think about tomorrow
Just let it happen
Live each hour, day by day
But let me tell you before you go
How much I love you
Then I won't mention it again
I won't mention it again

But let me tell you before you go
How much I love you
Then I won't mention it again
I won't mention it again

Kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss me love
Just one kiss, kiss will do
Kiss ,kiss, kiss, kiss me love
Just one kiss, kiss will do 
Why death
Why life
Warm hearts
Cold darts 
Kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss me love
I'm bleeding inside 
It's a long, long story to tell
And I can only show you my hell 
Touch, touch, touch, touch me love
Just one touch, touch will do
Touch, touch, touch, touch me love
Just one touch, touch will do 
Why me
Why you
Broken mirror
White terror 
Touch, touch, touch, touch me love
I'm shaking inside 
It's that faint, faint sound of the childhood bell
Ringing in my soul 
Kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss me love
Just one kiss, kiss will do

I Won't Last A Day Without You
Composer(s): Roger Nichols; Paul Williams
First release by: The Carpenters - 1972
Covered by multiple other artists



Day after day I must face a world of strangers
Where I don't belong, I'm not that strong
It's nice to know that there's someone I can turn to
Who will always care, you're always there

When there's no getting over that rainbow
When my smallest of dreams won't come true
I can take all the madness the world has to give
But I won't last a day without you

So many times when the city seems to be without a friendly face
A lonely place
It's nice to know that you'll be there if I need you
And you'll always smile, it's all worthwhile

When there's no getting over that rainbow
When my smallest of dreams won't come true
I can take all the madness the world has to give
But I won't last a day without you

Touch me and I end up singing
Troubles seem to up and disappear
You touch me with the love you're bringing
I can't really lose when you're near

If all my friends have forgotten half their promises
They're not unkind, just hard to find
One look at you and I know that I could learn to live
Without the rest, I found the best

When there's no getting over that rainbow
When my smallest of dreams won't come true
I can take all the madness the world has to give
But I won't last a day without you

When there's no getting over that rainbow
When my smallest of dreams won't come true
I can take all the madness the world has to give
But I won't last a day without you

Kisses (The Sweetest Kisses Of All)
Composer(s): Alex Sullivan; Lynn Cowan



Ever since the world began
kisses have been tempting man
though the kisses have helped to make history 
it's funny different they can be

Every one just love to kiss, every lad and every miss
though many are bashful, we know, it's true
they love their hugs and kisses too

There's the kiss that you get from baby
there's the kiss that you get from dad 
there's the kiss that you get from mother
that's the first real kiss you had
there's the kiss of a tender meeting
other kisses you recall
but the kisses I get from you sweetheart
are the sweetest kisses of all

Twins
Composer(s): L. Smokey Bates - Skip Scarborough 
Performer(s): Philip Bailey & Little Richard



What happened to you 
Hey I could feel it 
I smile and cry 
Without knowing why 
The join the pain would be so real 
I felt like my life was happening to me 
And now I know, its cause you're part of me 
Was it my choice, it was meant to be 
We were connected even when apart 
We got together right from the start 

Twins, united that's how it is 
When you're twins, the magic just never ends 

If one day is good then two is better 
I can't complain cause I'm ahead of the game 
Please pick the pain double the pleasure 
I'm starting to feel my philosophy 
Now we're not just your average family 
We got better this suppose people never seen 
And if I had a chance to live and again 
I wouldn't want it unless I was your twin 

Twins, united that's how it is 
When you're twins, the magic just never ends

I Won't Hold You Back
Composer(s): Steve Lukather
Performer(s): Toto
and multiple other artists



If I had another chance tonight
I'd try to tell you that the things we had were right
Time can't erase the love we shared
But it gives me time to realize just how much you cared

Now you're gone, I'm really not the same
I guess I have myself to blame
Time can't erase the things we said
But it gives me time to realize that you're the one instead

You know I won't hold you back now
The love we had just can't be found 
You know I can't hold you back now

Now that I'm alone it gives me time to think about the years that 
you were mine
Time can erase the love we shared
But it gives me time to realize just how much you cared

You know I won't hold you back now
The love we had just can't be found (Listen to me baby)
You know I can't hold you back now

You know I won't hold you back now
The love we had just can't be found
You know I can't hold you back now
The love we had just can't be found

(Repeat)

Twinkle, twinkle lucky star
Can you send me luck from where you are

Can you make a rainbow shine that far
Twinkle, twinkle lucky star

Can you really make a wish come true
And do you shine on just a chosen few

Is it over, have I gone to far
Twinkle, twinkle lucky star

Like two ships on the ocean, we drifted apart
And you found an island at sea

I'm still adrift with this pain in my heart
Won't you send her sweet love back to me

Twinkle, twinkle lucky star

Twinkle, twinkle lucky star
Can you send me luck from where you are

Can you make a rainbow shine that far
Twinkle, twinkle lucky star

I Won't Grow Up
Composer(s): Moose Charlap; Carolyn Leigh
Performer(s): Rickie Lee Jones
and multiple other artists



I won’t grow up
I don’t want to go to school
Just to learn to be a parrot
And recite a silly rule
If growing up means it would be
Beneath my dignity to climb a tree
I’ll never grow up, never grow up,
Never grow up! Not me! Not I! Not me!

I won’t grow up
I don’t want to wear a tie
And a serious expression
In the middle of July
And if it means I must prepare
To shoulder burdens with a worried air
I’ll never grow up, never grow up
Never grow up, not me! Not I! Not me!
So there!

Never gonna be a man! I won’t!
Like to see somebody try and make me
Anyone who wants to try and make me 
turn me to a man
Catch me if you can!

I won’t grow up
Not a penny will I pinch
I will never grow a moustache
Or a fraction of an inch
Cause growing up is awfuller
Than all the awful things that ever were
I’ll never grow up, never grow up,
Never grow up, no sir! Not I! Not me! So there!

I won’t grow up!
I will never even try
I will do what Peter tells me
And I’ll never ask him why
We won’t grow up

We will never grow a day
And if someone tries to make us
We will simply run away

I won’t grow up
No, I  promise that I won’t
I will stay a boy forever
Or be banished if I don’t
And Neverland will always be
The home of youth and joy and liberty
I’ll never grow up, never grow up
Never grow up, Not me! No sir! Not me!
