Somebody's Back In Town Composer(s): Don Helms - Teddy Wilburn - Doyle Wilburn Performer(s): The Wilburn Brothers and multiple other artists
I just heard the saddest news Somebody's back in town And I know just what he's gonna do He'll pick up where he left off His last time around Oh how it hurts to keep on losing you
Somebody's back in town to steal your love from me The fear I've had so long is now reality The only chance I have is when he throws you down My chance is gone somebody's back in town
I know that I can't change your ways We've been through that before His trap is set and you will walk right in He only wants a fly by night affair and nothing more And you're just fool enough to fall again
Somebody's back in town why can't he stay away You should know he never loved you anyway He'll let you live a little then he'll throw you down Sad news today somebody's back in town

Oh, my love, my darling I've hungered for your touch a long, lonely time Time goes by so slowly and time can do so much Are you still mine? I need your love, I need your love God speed your love to me
Lonely rivers flow to the sea, to the sea To the open arms of the sea Lonely rivers sigh "Wait for me, wait for me" "I'll be coming home, wait for me!"
Are you still mine? I need your love, I need your love God speed your love to me
Uncle Bernie's Farm Composer(s): Frank Zappa Performer(s): The Mothers Of Invention
I'm dreaming (Oh no-o-o!)
There's a bomb to blow yo mommy up A bomb for your daddy too (Ouch!) A baby doll that burps and pees A case of airplane glue A hungry plastic troll To scarf yo buddy's arm A box of ugly plastic things marked Uncle Bernie's Farm!
There's a little plastic congress There's a nation you can buy (I'll take two) There's a doll that looks like mommy She'll do anything but cry (I seen her) There's a doll that looks like daddy He's a funny little man Push a button and ask for money There's a dollar in his hand (Check his wallet)
We gotta send Santa Claus back to the Rescue Mission Christmas don't make it no more Don't you know that murder and destruction Scream the toys in every store (Think this'll sell in New York?)
There's a man who runs the country There's a man who tried to think And they're all made out of plastic When they melt they start to stink There's a book with smiling children Nearly dead with Christmas joys! And smiling in his office Is the creep who makes the toys
Frank Zappa: We got this car, when it hits the wall you see the guy dying. Got the little plastic puddles of blood by the car. I'm dreaming!
Ray Collins: He has intestines, he has plastic intestines you can stuff back into his stomach.
Frank Zappa: There's this other thing, I've got bombs. I've got rockets, I've got a, I've got a stilson wrench and plastic brass knuckles.
Ray Collins: And it comes with a tape recorder with sound effects
Uncle John's Band Composer(s): Jerry Garcia; Robert Hunter Performer(s): The Grateful Dead; Jimmy Buffett; David Cullen; Indigo Girls; Key West; Billy & Terry Smith; Wake the Dead
Well the first days are the hardest days don't you worry anymore 'Cause when life looks like Easy Street there is danger at your door Think this through with me let me know your MIND Whoa-oh, what I want to know is are you kind?
It's a buck dancer's choice, my friends better take my advice You know all the rules by now and the fire from the ice Will you come with me? Won't you come with me? Whoa-oh, what I want to know will you come with me?
Goddamn, I declare, have you seen the light? Their walls are built of cannonballs their motto is "Don't tread on me" Come hear Uncle John's Band playing to the tide Come with me, or go alone he's come to take his children home
It's the same story the crow told me it's the only one he know Like the morning sun you come and like the wind you go Ain't no time to hate barely time to wait Whoa-oh, what I want to know where does the time go?
I live in a silver mine and I call it Beggar's Tomb I got me a violin and I beg you call the tune Anybody's choice I can hear your voice Whoa-oh, what I want to know how does the song go?
Come hear Uncle John's Band by the riverside Got some things to talk about here beside the rising tide Come hear Uncle John's Band playing to the tide Come on along or go alone he's come to take his children home
Whoa-oh, what I want to know how does the song go? Come hear Uncle John's Band by the riverside Got some things to talk about here beside the rising tide Come hear Uncle John's Band playing to the tide Come on along or go alone he's come to take his children home
Somebody Wants To Love You Composer(s): Mike Appel - Jim Cretecos - Wes Farrell The Partridge Family; The Mr. T Experience
On your own, far away from home There doesn't seem to be a friend when you're alone People stare, you wonder if they care So, you turn your back on someone with love to spare Try to see, it's gotta be Lovin' one another is the only possibility So, when you're down and losin' ground Don't get to thinkin' love can't be found
Hey, stop, stop! And look around Somebody wants to love you Stop, stop! And turn around Somebody wants to love you Somebody wants to love you
Ooooo....
Hey, you! It's nothin' new Love will be around no matter what you do Or will you try every alibi and fool yourself some more then wonder why So try to see, it's gotta be When you turn your back on love, you miss the opportunity And once again, you're at a dead end And nowhere to turn without a friend
Hey, stop, stop! And look around Somebody wants to love you Stop, stop! And turn around Somebody wants to love you Somebody wants to love you
Love you....
Hey, stop, stop! And look around Somebody wants to love you Stop, stop! And turn around Somebody wants to love you Somebody wants to love you
Hey, stop, stop! And look around Somebody wants to love you Stop, stop! And turn around Somebody wants to love you Somebody wants to love you ...
Uncle Penn Composer(s: Bill Monroe Performer(s): Bill Monroe; and various other artists
Oh, the people would come from far away They'd dance all night till the break of day When the caller hollered ""Do-se-do"" He knew Uncle Penn was ready to go
Chorus: Late in the evenin' about sundown High on the hill and above the town Uncle Penn played the fiddle, oh how it would ring You can hear it talk, you can hear it sing
He played an old piece he called ""Soldier's Joy"" And the one called ""The Boston Boy"" The greatest of all was ""Jenny Lynn"" To me that's where the fiddle begins
(Repeat Chorus)
I'll never forget that mournful day When Uncle Penn was called away They hung up his fiddle, hung up his bow They knew it was time for him to go

Und Es War Sommer Composer(s): Christian Heilburg; Joachim Heider Performer(s): Peter Maffay
Es war ein schoener Tag, der letzte im Augst Die Sonne brannte so, als haette sie's gewusst Die Luft war flirrend heiss und um allein zu sein Sagte ich den ander'n: Ich hab' heut keine Zeit
Dann traf ich sie und sah in ihre Augen Und irgendwie hatt' ich das Gefuehl Als winkte sie mir zu und schien zu sagen: Komm setz dich zu mir:
Ich war 16 und sie 31 Und ueber Liebe wusste ich nicht viel Sie wusste alles und sie liess mich spueren Ich war kein Kind mehr
Und es war Sommer ...
Sie gab sich so, als sei ich ueberhaupt nicht da Und um die Schultern, trug sie nur ihr langes Haar Ich war verlegen und wusste nicht wohin Mit meinem Blick, der wie gefesselt an ihr hing
Ich kann verstehen, hoerte ich sie sagen Nur weil du jung bist, tust du nicht was du fuehlst Doch bleib bei mir bis die Sonne rot wird Dann wirst du sehen
Wir gingen beide hinunter an den Strand Und der Junge nahm schuechtern ihre Hand Doch als ein Mann sah ich die Sonne aufgeh'n Und es war Sommer und es war Sommer
Und es war Sommer Das erste Mal im Leben Und es war Sommer Das allererste Mal Doch als ein Mann sah ich die Sonne aufgeh'n Und es war Sommer
Und es war Sommer Das erste Mal im Leben Und es war Sommer Das allererste Mal Doch als ein Mann sah ich die Sonne aufgeh'n Und es war Sommer
