Danny Boy Composer(s): Frederick Edward Weatherly Originally performed by: Ernestine Schumann-Heink Covered by various other artists
Oh, Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling From glen to glen, and down the mountain side The summer's gone, and all the roses falling It's you, it's you must go and I must bide
But come ye back when summer's in the meadow Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow It's I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow Oh, Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so!
But when ye come, and all the flowers are dying If I am dead, as dead I well may be Ye'll come and find the place where I am lying And kneel and say an Avè there for me And I shall hear, though soft you tread above me And all my grave will warmer, sweeter be For you will bend and tell me that you love me And I shall sleep in peace until you come to me!
And So To Bed Composer(s): Vincent Crane Performer(s): Atomic Rooster

My name should be trouble My name should be woe For trouble and heartache Is all that I know But Danny, yes, Danny is my name

You're the lips that make the laughter you're the sunshine in the snow shining out on everything you feel you're the bird that dropped the berry on the island far below finding out that everything is real

We are loved and we are lonely we are many, we are few make it out odf love and build a dream we are hoboes, we are holy we are me and we are you can't it be as easy as it seems?

Oh, Daniela, la vie n'est qu'un jeu pour toi Oh, Daniela, pourtant, ne croit pas Que tu peux, oh, Daniela, jouer avec l'amour Sans risquer de te bruler un jour
Oh, Daniela, tu prends ton air innocent Oh, Daniela, pour faire un serment Et tu dis les mots les plus beaux du monde Sans jamais les penser un instant Mais si tu n'as pas vingt temps Tu n'es plus une enfant Chaque nuit, tu attends en rêvant Un visage adoré qui viendra t'éveiller En posant sur tes lèvres un baiser...
Oh, Daniela, la vie n'est qu'un jeu pour toi Oh, Daniela, pourtant, ne croit pas Que tu peux, oh, Daniela, jouer avec l'amour Sans risquer de te bruler un jour
Oh, Daniela, tu découvriras Oh, Daniela, celui qui saura Partager tes jours, tes rêves et tes peines Pour en faire un univers de joie Ce jour là, ta vie commencera
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)

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
