    Words Are Not Enough
    Composer(s): Ace Frehley; Jimmy Keneally
    Performer(s): Ace Frehley



    Can't stop tossin' and turnin' at night
    It gets harder each day, fighting with this feeling inside
    You can swear that you love me
    By every star in the sky
    But when you're close to me
    You get that look in you eye
    A burning feeling, you just can't disguise

    Chorus:
    Words are not enough
    to make me feel like a man in love
    Words are not enough
    to make me feel like a man in love
    We need eachother its easy to see
    You know I'm shaking all over thinking how good this could be
    You can tell me you need me
    And you can tell me you're mine
    But when you're in my arms
    The words starts spinning and we lose all track of time

    Chorus

    Ambush
    Composer(s): Robert Irving - Mark Lindsay
    Performer(s): Mark Lindsay



    You thundered in -- all your sabers were blazing
    Fired your guns in a mighty barrage
    Under a full moon I fell by the water
    As you rode away with your cold entourage

    I cried for peace but your eyes filled with venom
    A drop fell between us -- it drove us apart
    I was racing the wind singing songs with my brothers
    Your Winchester bullet went straight through my heart

    Oh... oh... -- take me to my hunting ground
    Oh... oh... -- wheel is turning 'round
    Oh... oh... -- waiting for the buffalo
    Pounding like drums on the ground

    It's been so long since I swam Crooked River
    Running the banks chasing clouds in the sky
    Watching the salmon charge up through the rapids
    Fighting to spawn and to die
    The prairies are gone and the forests have fallen
    A river of tears flows away to the sea
    I lie with my pony 'neath ground that God gave me
    An arrowhead marker for all eyes to see

    Oh... oh... -- take me to my hunting ground
    Oh... oh... -- wheel is turning 'round
    Oh... oh... -- waiting for the buffalo
    Pounding like drums on the ground

    Fish cannot fly over dams in the river
    Ravens are dark in the sky

    Oh... oh... -- take me to my hunting ground
    Wheel of weeping slowly turns around
    Now I'm sleeping waiting for the buffalo
    Pounding like drums on the ground

    Oh... oh... -- take me to my hunting ground
    Oh... oh... -- wheel is turning 'round
    Oh... oh... -- waiting for the buffalo
    Pounding like drums on the ground

    Words And Music
    Composer(s): Andy Gibb
    Performer(s): Andy Gibb



    Words and music make a song for our hearts to sing along
    Like a choir within the air, there'll be music ev'rywhere
    A bitter tear across your cheek
    A smile from you is all I need
    We'll give them cause to breathe the air
    There'll be lovers ev'rywhere

    I'll be your singer and your song
    for all the love you've brought along
    I'll be your day, I'll be your night
    I'll see that ev'rything's all right
    I'll turn the ocean into sand
    Like my heart at your command
    I'll make the raindrops turn to snow
    And then ev'ryone will know that we're in love
    Yeah, yeah, yeah

    And when the morning brings it's light
    And Mister Moonlight says goodbye
    My hand is shaking when you smile
    You make me feel just like a child
    My mind is searching for a way
    so that you won't have to say
    You've got to go and can't come back
    But I can't think you'd make me sad

    I'll be your singer and your song
    for all the love you've brought along
    I'll be your day, I'll be your night
    I'll see that ev'rything's all right
    I'll turn the ocean into sand
    Like my heart at your command
    I'll make the raindrops turn to snow
    And then ev'ryone will know that we're in love

    (take away the pain in me)
    I'll be your singer and your song

    (soon you'll see a change in me)
    for all the love you've brought along

    (what's the point of going on)
    I'll be your day, I'll be your night

    (the story ends, the feelings gone)
    I'll see that ev'rything's all right
    I'll turn the ocean into sand
    Like my heart at your command
    I'll make the raindrops turn to snow
    And then ev'ryone will know that we're in love

    (the story ends, the feelings gone)
    I'll see that ev'rything's all right
    I'll turn the ocean into sand
    Like my heart at your command
    I'll make the raindrops turn to snow
    And then ev'ryone will know that we're in love

    Performer(s): Harry Nilsson



    The lamp that lights the way
    Is a light from yesterday
    The drum which leads the way
    Is a sound from yesterday

    The road is filled with shadows
    Of a million, living leaves
    Darkness all around us
    And not a friend in sight

    We sang a song together
    To help us through the night
    The song was sung with spirit
    But soft, and like a choir

    And as the others sang along
    Our voices lifted higher
    We sang until we reached the bridge
    We crossed, then saw the wire

    But by the time we stopped the song
    The enemy had opened fire

    Now, we ain't gonna sing that song no more
    Ain't gonna sing that song no more
    Just don't pay to sing no more
    Especially when you're in a war
    A war

    Now, this time through
    We want everybody to listen to the punchline
    All right
    All right
    All right!
    All right!

    The song was sung with spirit
    But soft and like a choir
    But by the time we stopped the song
    The enemy had opened fire

    Now, we ain't gonna sing that song no more
    Ain't gonna sing that song no more
    Just don't pay to sing no more
    Especially when you're in a war

    Girl, don't you know everytime I see you smiling
    It hurts so bad, 'cause when I see you, I start crying
    I've tried everything to stop, but there's no denying
    Falling in love with you, girl, is just like dying

    Oh, don't walk away
    How, how can I make you stay
    Don't turn away
    I can still hear you saying those words that never were true
    Spoken to help nobody but you
    Words with lies inside
    But, small enough to hide till your playing was through, ahh

    Girl, don't you know we could work it out with talking
    You won't turn around or slow down your walking
    I've given you everything with a kiss to seal it
    You had to get your kicks out of trying to steal it

    Now, I'm standing here
    Strange, strange voices in my ears
    I feel the tears
    But, all I can hear are those words that never were true
    Spoken to help nobody but you
    Words with lies inside
    But, small enough to hide till your playing was through, ahh

    Now, I'm standing here
    Strange, strange voices in my ears
    I feel the tears
    But, all I can hear are those words that never were true
    Spoken to help nobody but you
    Words with lies inside
    But, small enough to hide till your playing was through

    Words that never were true
    Spoken to help nobody but you
    Words with lies inside
    But, small enough to hide till your playing was through

    Words that never were true
    Just spoken to help nobody but you...

    Ambulance Blues Composer(s): Neil Young First release by: Neil Young - 1974



    Back in the old folky days The air was magic when we played The riverboat was rockin' in the rain Midnight was the time for the raid Oh, Isabela, proud Isabela They tore you down and plowed you under You're only real with your make-up on How could I see you and stay too long? All along the Navajo Trail Burn-outs stub their toes on garbage pails Waitresses are cryin' in the rain Will their boyfriends pass this way again? Oh, Mother Goose, she's on the skids Sure ain't happy, neither are the kids She needs someone that she can scream at And I'm such a heel for makin' her feel so bad I guess I'll call it sickness gone It's hard to say the meaning of this song An ambulance can only go so fast It's easy to get buried in the past When you try to make a good thing last I saw today in the entertainment section There's room at the top for private detection To Mom and Dad this just doesn't matter But it's either that or pay off the kidnapper So all you critics sit alone You're no better than me for what you've shown With your stomach pump and your hook and ladder dreams We could get together for some scenes I never knew a man could tell so many lies He had a different story for every set of eyes How can he remember who he's talkin' to? 'Cause I know it ain't me, and I hope it isn't you Well, I'm up in T.O. keepin' jive alive And out on the corner it's half past five But the subways are empty And so are the cafes Except for the Farmer's Market And I still can hear him say You're all just pissin' in the wind You don't know it but you are And there ain't nothin' like a friend Who can tell you you're just pissin' in the wind I never knew a man could tell so many lies He had a different story for every set of eyes How can he remember who he's talking to? Cause I know it ain't me, and hope it isn't you

    Words are easy to be spoken
    I know that and so do you
    But when I said "I love you, Darling"
    Every word of it was true

    Fancy words, I've never used them
    Since I met you from the start
    Plain old simple words are better
    They come directly from the heart

    When I take your hand forever
    All the chapel bells will chime
    Woh-oh-oh-oh, we will say I do together
    And with these words, I'll make you mine
    (With these words)

    Composer(s): Nile Rodgers

    Here is a rich boy, a bit of a brat
    To him life's just a fling
    Phi Beta Kappa and first in his class
    He's treated just like a king
    And he says, "I'm not sure what it is I must have
    so I guess I'll just take everything"

    He's just ambitious
    He's not a bad man
    He's just ambitious
    He's not a bad man
    Just ambitious
    Whooah, yeah!
    Just ambitious

    Here is a young girl, born down and out
    Locked up in jail when she was ten
    Now in the courtroom, she's got a bit of doubt
    Sits on the judge side of the bench

    She's just ambitious
    She's not a bad girl
    She's just ambitious
    She's not a bad girl
    Just ambitious
    Whooah, yeah!
    Just ambitious

    Here is a wild man who thirsts for a fight
    And his cool streak gets him by
    All these four-letter words in his mind
    Here is a man who'll survive

    He's just a wild man
    He's just ambitious
    He's just a wild man
    Just ambitious
    Whooah, yeah!

    Here is a wild man who thirsts for a fight
    Just ambitious
    Always a four-letter word in his mind
    Just ambitious

    Don't you know, I'm just ambitious
    I'm not a bad man, just ambitious
    I'm not a bad man, just ambitious
    Whooah, yeah!

    Smile an everlasting smile
    A smile could bring you near to me
    Don't ever let me find you gone
    'Cause that would bring a tear to me
    This world has lost its glory
    Let's start a brand new story
    Now my love right now there'll be
    No other time and I can show you
    How my love
    Talk in everlasting words
    And dedicate them all to me
    And I will give you all my life
    I'm here if you should call to me
    You think that I don't even mean
    A single word I say
    It's only words, and words are all
    I have to take your heart away
    You think that I don't even mean

    Composer(s): A.P. Carter
    Performer(s): Flatt & Scruggs



    Far away in sunny mountains
    Where the merry sunbeams play
    There I wandered thru the clover
    Singing to a village maid

    She was dearer than the dearest
    Ever loving kind and true
    And she wore beneath her bonnet
    Amber tresses tied in blue

    Fact decreed that we be parted
    Ere the leaves of autumn fell
    Then two hearts were separated
    That had loved each other well

    She was all I had to cherish
    Every loving king and true
    Now I see in every vision
    Amber tresses tied in blue

    Wop She 'Ad It-Io
    (Traditional)
    Performer(s): The Copper Family



    Now once I courted a pretty girl I courted her quite well
    Her name was Kitty-mariga Maria and mine was Bobby Wells
    One night when I was courting Kit when her father was at home
    He said, If I catch you here again I'll tickle your bot-tum
    With a wop she 'ad it I tell you I 'ad it O wop she 'ad it-io
    O wop she 'ad it I tell you I 'ad it O wop she 'ad it-io

    Now Kit and I we did agree a ladder for to bring
    We placed it under the window and by gum, it was just the thing
    We laughed and chattered and chattered and talked when all at once, by gum
    My foot slipped through the ladder and I fell and cut my bot-tum
    With a wop she 'ad it I tell you I 'ad it O wop she 'ad it-io
    O wop she 'ad it I tell you I 'ad it O wop she 'ad it-io

    They wheeled me home in a wheelbarrow they wheeled me home with care
    And when I got to the farmyard gate, oh, didn't the old folks stare
    My brother Jim came running out and said what have you done
    I've been a-courting Kit, said I, and fell and cut my bot-tum
    With a wop she 'ad it I tell you I 'ad it O wop she 'ad it-io
    O wop she 'ad it I tell you I 'ad it O wop she 'ad it-io

    They took me to the doctor's and there I showed my case
    And didn't they do a grin when I showed 'em my Sunday face
    They thought I was making a fool of them, but a fool of them, by gum
    I thought they were making a fool of me when they turpentined my bum
    With a wop she 'ad it I tell you I 'ad it O wop she 'ad it-io
    O wop she 'ad it I tell you I 'ad it O wop she 'ad it-io

    Now Kit and I we did agree for to get wed
    She made me a sling to put my bum in and through it I cocked my leg
    As we were walking down the street the kids did shout, by gum
    There goes the man with his bum in a sling that fell and cut his bot-tum
    With a wop she 'ad it I tell you I 'ad it O wop she 'ad it-io
    O wop she 'ad it I tell you I 'ad it O wop she 'ad it-io

    Amber Cascades
    Composer(s): Dewey Bunnell
    Performer(s): America



    Amber cascades all over today
    Then we walk on a crooked catwalk
    Only to be delayed
    Bubbles of blue burst into two
    Eaten up by the incoming tide
    Of the new

    Then we call to the man who walks on the water
    We talk of a plan to stop all the slaughter in view
    It's in view

    Granite charades are played in the rain
    Till we fall through a sand castle window
    To avoid the pain
    Summer canoe paddles up to you
    'cause it's time for another beer run
    Or something that's equally true

    Then we call to the man who walks on the water
    We talk of a plan to stop all the slaughter in view

    Then we call to the man who walks on the water
    We talk of a plan to stop all the slaughter in view
    It's in view

    Had two big horns
    And a wooly jaw

    Wooly Bully, Wooly Bully
    Wooly Bully, Wooly Bully

    Hattie told Mattie
    Don't you take no chance
    Don't you be L7
    Come and learn to dance

    Wooly Bully, Wooly Bully
    Wooly Bully, Wooly Bully
    Wooly Bully

    Hey watch it now, man
    Watch it, watch it

    Mattie told Hattie it's the thing to do
    Get yourself a filly
    To pull the wool with you

    Wooly Bully, Wooly Bully
    Wooly Bully, Wooly Bully

    Rayos del sol a la hora del sol
    Ella estaba en cualquiera
    En cualquier estación esperando una fatalidad
    o un llamado del cielo

    Siente un mareo de baja presión
    Por lo menos le queda ese poco de humor
    ¿Para qué? si una pasa buscando
    y perdiendo certezas

    Solo cuando se va
    Solo cuando no está en esto, amor
    Le hace bien
    Meterse en su laberinto carrousel
    Le hace bien

    Nada está aquí ni mejor ni peor
    Solamente sus ojos cambian de color
    A una hora del día
    Se tiñen de un ámbar violeta

    Nadie ni nadie la vio
    Ahora tiene un gran cuerno bajo el corazón
    Y se escapa de todos los hombres
    Que quieren tenerla

    Solo cuando se va
    Solo cuando no está en esto amor

    Woody's Rag/Hard Work
    Composer(s): Woody Guthrie
    Performer(s): Arlo Guthrie



    While we're on the subject of hard work
    I just wanted to say that I always was a man to work

    I was born working and I worked my way up by hard work
    I ain't never got nowhere yet but I got there by hard work

    Work of the hardest kind
    I been down and I been out and I've been busted, disgusted and couldn't be trusted

    I worked my way up and I worked my way down
    I've been drunk and I've been sober
    I've had hard times and I got hijacked and been robbed for cash and robbed on credit

    Worked my way into jail and outta jail and I woke up
    a lotta mornings and I didn't even know where I was at

    But the hardest work I ever done is when I was trying
    to get myself a worried woman to ease my worried mind

    Now I'm gonna tell you just about how much hard
    work I had to do to get this here woman that I'm a-tellin' you about

    I shook hands with 97 of her kinfolks and her blood
    relatives and I done the same with 86 people that was
    just her friends and her neighbors

    Kissed 73 babies and put dry pants on 34 of 'em, as well
    as others, and done the When thing several times, as well
    as a lot of other things just about like this

    I held 125 head of wild horses, put saddles and bridles
    on more than that, harnessed some of the craziest
    wildest teams in the whole country. I rode 14 loco
    broncos to a dead standstill and let 42 hound dogs lick me all over

    7 times I was bit by hungry dogs and I was chewed
    all to pieces by water moccasins and rattlesnakes on
    2 separate river bottoms

    I chopped and I carried 314 arm loads of stoved wood
    100 buckets of coal, and I carried a gallon of
    kerosene 18 miles and lost a good pair of shoes in a mud hole

    And I chopped and I weeded 48 rows of short cotton
    13 acres of bad corn and cut the sticker weeds out of
    11 back yards, all on account a 'cause I wanted to
    show her that I was a man and I liked to work

    I cleaned out 9 barnloads, and cranked 31 automobiles
    all makes and models, pulled 3 cars out of mud
    holes and 4 out of snowdrifts

    I dug 5 cisterns of water for some of her friends and
    neighbors and run all kinds of errands

    I played the fiddle for 9 church meetings and I joined
    11 separate denominations. I signed up and joined
    up for 7 of the best trade unions I could find and paid
    my dues about 6 weeks ahead of time, waded 40
    miles of swamps, 60 big rivers, walked across 2
    mountain ranges and crossed 3 deserts

    I got the fever and I got the sun stroke and I got the
    malaria and I got the flu and I got moonstruck and
    skeeter bit, the poison ivy and the 7 year itch and the blind staggers

    I was given up for lost and dead about 2 dozen times
    Struck by lightning, struck by Congress, struck
    by friends and kinfolks, as well as by 3 cars on
    the highways and a lotta times in peoples' henhouses

    I been hit and run down and run over and
    walked on and knocked around and I'm just
    settin' here now trying to study up what else I
    can do to show that woman that I still ain't afraid of hard work

    Amazonia
    Composer(s): Stephen Stills
    Performer(s): Stephen Stills



    Amazonia
    Amazonia

    From the heart of Amazonia
    Comes the very air we breathe

    But the people there are poor
    Can't see the forest for the trees

    In the time it takes to sing this song
    Another acre's gone

    Gotta save the Amazonia
    Before all of it is gone

    Amazonia
    Amazonia

    With so many people hungry
    All those children there to feed

    No use blaming the Sinterras
    They've got families

    Finding other ways to prosper
    Realize the damage done

    Educate them with an answer
    And take care of everyone

    In Amazonia

    Amazonia
    Amazonia

    Simple answers are much harder
    To accomplish than the rest

    And there's always someone getting hurt
    When you have to do what's best

    So put your imagination
    And your shoulder to the task

    Save the rain forest from ourselves
    There's no more we can ask

    Woodstock
    Composer(s): Joni Mitchell
    Originally performed by: Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
    Covered by various other artists



    I came upon a child of God
    He was walking along the road
    And I asked him, where are you going
    And this he told me
    I´m going on down to Yasgur´s farm
    I´m going to join in a rock ´n´ roll band
    I´m going to camp out on the land
    And try and get my soul free
    We are stardust
    We are golden
    And we´ve got to get ourselves
    Back to the garden

    Then can I walk beside you
    I have come here to lose the smog
    And I feel to be a cog in something turning
    Well maybe it is just the time of year
    Or maybe it´s the time of man
    I don´t know who l am
    But life is for learning
    We are stardust
    We are golden
    And we´ve got to get ourselves
    Back to the garden

    By the time we got to Woodstock
    We were half a million strong
    And everywhere there was song and celebration
    And I dreamed I saw the bombers
    Riding shotgun in the sky
    And they were turning into butterflies
    Above our nation
    We are stardust
    We are golden
    And we´ve got to get ourselves
    Back to the garden

    Amazone, À La Vie
    Composer(s): Étienne Roda-Gil - Julien Clerc
    Performer(s): Julien Clerc



    Un jour, tombe la feuille
    Même si le cœur s'en va
    Il reste l'Amazone
    Et l'automne attendra...

    Même si tombe la feuille
    Quand arrive le froid
    Ma vie est une blonde
    Qui danse la samba...

    Catastrophes et chantages
    Cyclones, inondations
    Pénurie et chômage
    Enfants dans le goudron...

    Industries qui se meurent
    La faim près de la maison
    La toit qui s'abandonne
    La pluie dans le salon

    Et même le téléphone
    Qui sonne sans raison
    Pour chaque vers une pomme
    Pour chaque honte un front...

    Un peu d'amour sauvage
    Un peu de café au lit
    Deux, trois fleurs libérées
    D'une serre sans vent ni pluie

    Un peu d'amour tout sage
    Des miettes au fond du lit
    Des gestes libérés
    De tout ce qui se paie...

    Amazone, Amazone, à la vie...

    Woodman! Spare That Tree!
    Composer(s): Henry Russell
    Performer(s): Douglas Jimerson; Americus Brass Band



    Woodman, spare that tree!
    Touch not a single bough!
    In youth it sheltered me
    And I'll protect it now
    'Twas my forefather's hand
    That placed it near his cot
    There, woodman, let it stand
    Thy axe shall harm it not!

    That old familiar tree
    Whose glory and renown
    Are spread o'er land and sea
    And wouldst thou hew it down?
    Woodman, forbear thy stroke!
    Cut not its earth-bound ties
    Oh, spare that aged oak
    Now towering to the skies!

    When but an idle boy
    I sought its grateful shade
    In all their gushing joy
    Here too my sisters played
    My mother kissed me here
    My father pressed my hand
    Forgive this foolish tear
    But let that old oak stand!

    My heart-strings round thee cling
    Close as thy bark, old friend!
    Here shall the wild-bird sing
    And still thy branches bend
    Old tree! the storm still brave!
    And, woodman, leave the spot
    While I've a hand to save
    Thy axe shall harm it not
