And She Was Composer(s): David Byrne First release by: Talking Heads - 1985
And she was lying in the grass And she could hear the highway breathing And she could see a nearby factory She's making sure she is not dreaming See the lights of a neighbor's house Now she's starting to rise Take a minute to concentrate And she opens up her eyes
The world was moving and she was right there with it (and she was) The world was moving she was floating above it (and she was) and she was
And she was drifting through the backyard And she was taking off her dress And she was moving very slowly Rising up above the earth Moving into the universe Drifting this way and that Not touching ground at all Up above the yard
The world was moving and she was right there with it (and she was) The world was moving she was floating above it (and she was) and she was
She was glad about it... no doubt about it She isn't sure where she's gone No time to think about what to tell them No time to think about what she's done And she was
And she was looking at herself And things were looking like a movie She had a pleasant elevation She's moving out in all directions
The world was moving and she was right there with it (and she was) The world was moving she was floating above it (and she was) and she was
... And Roses And Roses Composer(s): Ray Gilbert - Dorival Caymmi Performer(s): Andy Williams and multiple other artists
Every day I sent another present Just to let her know how very much I care I wrote a little love note with each present But it didn't seem to get me anywhere
My poor worried heart was almost certain That this love affair would never be Then I sent a dozen yellow roses and From that moment she belonged to me
Roses, roses, roses, I thank all the roses that bloom in the spring Love is a wonderful thing, the rest of my life I will bring her Roses and roses and roses of love
Roses, roses, roses, I thank you for saying what I couldn't say Oh, what a wonderful way to tell her "I love you" each day With roses and roses and roses of love
Roses, roses, roses, I thank all the roses that bloom in the spring Love is a wonderful thing, the rest of my life I will bring her Roses and roses and roses of love (Roses and roses and roses and roses of love)

And On The 8th Day Composer(s): Gene Simmons - Vinnie Vincent Performer(s): Kiss
The sky is fallin' and the wheels of life are grindin' out a brand new beat The streets are burnin' with the call of the wild, and I can feel the heat They'll call you names and spit in your face, but legends never die Just pick up your guitar, on your knees and pray and hold your head up high
And on the 8th day God created rock and roll On the 8th day God created rock and roll
Out of the ashes came the dawn and the shape of things to come Never surrender, just carry on, straight to kingdom come
You sold your soul and virginity, ya can't rape a heart of gold Yes you're born to rule, it's destiny, now it can be told
And on the 8th day God created rock and roll (rock and roll) And on the 8th day God created rock and roll And on the 8th day God created rock and roll (rock and roll) And on the 8th day God created rock and roll
Rock of ages carry the news to the heart of a brave new world Feel the noise in the name of rock, let the heavens roar
And on the 8th day God created rock and roll (rock and roll) And on the 8th day God created rock and roll And on the 8th day God created rock and roll (rock and roll) And on the 8th day God created rock and roll ...

And It's Better Now Composer(s): Francis Rossi - Rob Young Performer(s): Status Quo
Riding along on the words of a song in my head Thinking all day of the thoughts in my mind never said I have needed a friend, over and over again Everyone sings of a God they have known Now I have a God of my own
And it's better now, been a long, long time And it's better now that the words can rhyme
Gotta have something to sing about, everyone must have a song Now I got something to sing about, everyone's singing my song Gotta have something to sing about, everyone must have a song Now I got something to sing about, everyone's singing my song
Dreaming away, never wishing to be anyone Never a question or reason to find right or wrong When I looked at the end, over and over again Riding along on the words of a song Thinking my time had all gone
And it's better now, been a long, long time And it's better now that the words can rhyme
Gotta have something to sing about, everyone must have a song Now I got something to sing about, everyone's singing my song Gotta have something to sing about, everyone must have a song Now I got something to sing about, everyone's singing my song
And It Stoned Me Composer(s): Van Morrison Performer(s): Van Morrison and multiple other artists
Half a mile from the county fair And the rain came pourin' down Me and Billy standin' there With a silver half a crown Hands full of a fishin' rods And the tackle on our backs We just stood there gettin' wet With our backs against the fence
Oh, the water Oh, the water Oh, the water Hope it don't rain all day
And it stoned me to my soul Stoned me just like Jelly Roll And it stoned me And it stoned me to my soul Stoned me just like goin' home And it stoned me
Then the rain let up, and the sun came up And we were gettin' dry Almost let a pick-up truck nearly pass us by So we jumped right in and the driver grinned And he dropped us up the road We looked at the swim and we jumped right in Not to mention the fishing poles
Oh, the water Oh, the water Oh, the water Feel it run all over me
And it stoned me to my soul Stoned me just like Jelly Roll And it stoned me And it stoned me to my soul Stoned me just like goin' home And it stoned me
On the way back home we sang a song But our throats were getting dry Then we saw the man from across the road With the sunshine in his eyes Well he lived all alone in his own little home With a great big gallon jar There were bottles too, one for me and you And he said, "Hey! there you are"
Oh, the water Oh, the water Oh, the water Get it myself from the mountain stream
And it stoned me to my soul Stoned me just like Jelly Roll And it stoned me And it stoned me to my soul Stoned me just like goin' home And it stoned me
Dangerous Man Composer(s): Dwight Yoakam Performer(s): Dwight Yoakam
He's a dangerous man He's got blood in his plans Better watch out where you stand 'Cause he's a dangerous man He'll make you believe that he's your friend But don't forget it's just pretend And he's a dangerous man
He'll tell you the right things About all the wrong people He'll smile and he'll say "Hey you and me We think just the same" You better make sure that you read All the rules first 'Cause he runs a crooked game
He's a dangerous man He's got blood in his plans Better watch out where you stand 'Cause he's a dangerous man He'll make you believe that he's your friend But don't forget it's just pretend And he's a dangerous man
His words are all vain And his promise is empty His message is loud But it ain't meant to be clear He hides all the clues That have left his hands stained and dirty And he'll wash them with your tears
'Cause he's a dangerous man He's got blood in his plans Better watch out where you stand 'Cause he's a dangerous man He'll make you believe that he's your friend But don't forget it's just pretend And he's a dangerous man
And It Shook Me Composer(s): Graham Parker Performer(s): Graham Parker
And it shook me, it shook me up, it shook me up, yeah
I remember the way you looked when we first met There are some things in this world you cant forget You were standing underneath the light I lost my heart, it felt all right And it shook me, and Im still shaking now
I remember rainy nights I thought Id drown Was it london new york paris or amsterdam I forget the details no I must admit but you were there through all of it And it shook me, and Im still shaking now
And it shook me, it shook me up, it shook me up, yeah
Will you hold on and hope our grip dont fail Sometimes lovers hammer in their own coffin nails I just read how universes start, continually they blow apart And it shook me and Im still shaking now
Some believe in a heaven up above With a God that forgives all with his great love Well I forgive you if you forgive me, hey! who needs the third party anyway And it shook me and Im still shaking now
And it shook me, it shook me up, it shook me up, yeah ...
Dangerous Dan McGrew Composer(s): Alex Kramer; Joan Whitney Performer(s): Guy Lombardo
A bunch of the boys were whoopin it up At the Malamute Café And the ragtime kid at the music box Was a jazz and a tune that was gay And back of the bar in a poker game Sat a man that everyone knew He was grim and cold, he was bad and bold He was dangerous Dan McGrew
And while dangerous Dan was a-playin his hand And keeping his mind on his game You could see standing by with a gleam in her eye And her hair just as red as a flame A gal who was tall, with a face like a doll And her fingernails painted blue Oh, a gal who was tall, with a face like a doll The lady thats known as Lou
Then out of the night which was fifty below And into the din and the glare A man staggered in who was haggard and thin And his face was filled with despair Now he looked all around until he had found The lady thats known as Lou And then the stranger turned And his eyes they burned On dangerous Dan McGrew
Then suddenly wham! All the lights went out And a voice cried Die, you must! And then a woman screamed and a shot rang out And somebody bit the dust And then the lights flashed on And the north-west mounted police Came a-crashin through They drew their guns and they said Which one is dangerous Dan McGrew?
And then somebody said whoo, whoo, theyre so big! And skipped across the floor A-one, two, skip, hand on hip Right out through the open door Now was it the stranger a-takin his leave? Or the lady thats known as Lou? It was nobody else in this whole wide world But dangerous Dan McGrew
And In My Chair ((Adapted from: Et Moi Dans Mon Coin (Charles Azanavour) - 1966)) ((Italian Version: Ed Io Tra Di Voi (Charles Aznavour - 1970)) Composer(s): Charles Aznavour - David Newburge Performer(s): Charles Aznavour - 1998
He, he observes you from where he sits You, it unnerves you, you lose your wits He, he ignites you with eyes of flame You, it excites you, you like the game
And I in my chair, 'though I hardly speak I notice each innuendo And I in my chair, I'm stricken with fear At seeing the end so near
He, how to win you, views with a style You, you continue to coyly smile He, with his ????? ??? haunting laugh You, only sorry that I'm around
And I in my chair, 'though I hardly speak I see just how well he's doing And I in my chair, I'm trying to hide The dread that I hold inside
He, his eyes flatter, your glances touch You, now you chatter a bit too much He, like a gypsy, he serenades You, you grow tipsy, your laugh cascades
And I in my chair, 'though I hardly speak My heart's on the verge of crying And I in my chair, my heart understands My love is now changing hands
No, no, no it's nothing, perhaps a little tired only Why do you ask me to "compris" This was a beautiful evening Yes indeed a, a beautiful evening
Danger! Heartbreak Ahead Composer(s): Carl Barefoot; Stutz-Barefood Performer(s): Jaye P. Morgan; The Gaylords
Danger, heartbreak ahead Look out little fool, you're not wise Not wise to love so completely Or fall for that look in his eyes
Danger, heartbreak ahead Be sure little heart for you know Yes you know what happened to you before There's danger, travel slow
Does his kiss really mean what you think it means Are the words that he whispers, true Are you sure you understand, the touch of his hand Does his touch mean too much to you
Maybe, I could be wrong But go slow little fool for it's said That love either finds you, or love either blinds you To the danger of a heartbreak ahead
Does his kiss really mean what you think it means Are the words that he whispers, true Are you sure you understand, the touch of his hand Does his touch mean too much to you
Maybe, I could be wrong But go slow little fool for it's said That love either finds you, or love either blinds you To the danger of a heartbreak ahead
Danger Zone Composer(s): Percy Mayfield Originally performed by: Percy Mayfield
Sad, sad and lonely And sad and lonely all the time That's because I've got such a worried mind The world is in an uproar The danger zone everywhere It is everywhere
Just read your paper Read your paper and you'll see Just what exactly has been bothering me The world is in an uproar The danger zone everywhere It is everywhere
My love for the world It will always be the same Because the world has become a part of me And I'm so afraid of the progress that's being made toward eternity
Every morning, every morning Every morning, noon and night I keep on wishing and hoping that everything's gonna be alright The world is in an uproar The danger zone everywhere It is everywhere, everywhere
My love for the world will always be the same Because the world has become a part of me And I'm so afraid of the bloody progress that has been made toward eternity
Every morning, every morning Every morning, noon and night I keep on wishing and hoping that everything's gonna be alright The world is in an uproar Don't you know, don't you know The danger zone everywhere It is everywhere
And I'll Go Composer(s): Sonny Curtis Performer(s): The Everly Brothers
Look at me and tell me You don't want me around anymore And I'll go
Tell me that I don't mean Anything at all to you anymore And I'll go
If you wanna say our love's not right I'll turn away from you, run away from you Out of your life
Cause I love you and I want you to be free If I'm not the man you want me to be
Look at me and tell me You don't want me around anymore And I'll go
Look at me and tell me You don't want me around you anymore All you gotta do is let me know All you gotta do is tell me so And I'll go, I'll go And I'll go, I'll go
