Teacher Composer(s): Ian Anderson Performer(s): Jethro Tull
Well the dawn was coming heard him ringing on my bell He said, "My name's the teacher that is what I call myself And I have a lesson that I must impart to you It's an old expression but I must insist it's true
Jump up, look around, find yourself some fun no sense in sitting there hating everyone No man's an island and his castle isn't home the nest is for nothing when the bird has flown"
So I took a journey threw my world into the sea With me went the teacher who found fun instead of me
Hey man, what's the plan, what was that you said? Sun-tanned, drink in hand, lying there in bed I try to socialize but I can't seem to find what I was looking for, got something on my mind
Then the teacher told me it had been a lot of fun Thanked me for his ticket and all that I had done
Hey man, what's the plan, what was that you said? Sun-tanned, drink in hand, lying there in bed I try to socialize but I can't seem to find what I was looking for, got something on my mind
My Eyes Adored You Composer(s): Robert Crewe; Kelly Nolan Performer(s): Andy Williams
My eyes adored you Though I never laid a hand on you My eyes adored you Like a million miles away from me you couldn't see how I adored you So close, so close and yet so far
Carried your books from school Playing "make-believe you're married to me" You were fifth-grade, I was sixth When we came to be Walking home every day over Barnegat Bridge and Bay Till we grew into the me and you Went our separate ways
My eyes adored you Though I never laid a hand on you My eyes adored you Like a million miles away from me you couldn't see how I adored you So close, so close and yet so far
Headed for city lights Climbed the ladder up to fortune and fame I worked my fingers to the bone Made myself a name Funny I seemed to find That no matter how the years unwind Still I reminisce 'bout the girl I miss And the love I left behind
My eyes adored you Though I never laid a hand on you My eyes adored you Like a million miles away from me you couldn't see how I adored you So close, so close and yet so far
(My eyes adored you) All my life I will remember (Though I never laid a hand on you) How warm and tender we were way back then, whoa, whoa, baby (Like a million miles away from me you couldn't see how I adored you) Oh, the feeling, sad regrets (So close, so close and yet so far) I know I won't ever forget you, my childhood friend
(My eyes adored you) (Though I never laid a hand on you) (My eyes adored you) (Like a million miles away from me you couldn't see how I adored you)
Good Shepherd Composer(s): Jorma Kaukonen Performer(s): Jefferson Airplane
If you want to get to heaven Over on the other shore Stay out of the way of the blood-stained bandit Oh good shepherd Feed my sheep One for Paul One for Silas One for to make my heart rejoice Can't you hear my lambs acallin Oh good shepherd Feed my sheep If you want to get to heaven Over on the other shore Stay out of the way of the long-tongue liar Oh good shepherd Feed my sheep If you want to get to heaven Over on the other shore Stay out of the way of the gun shot devil Oh good shepherd Feed my sheep
Teach Your Children Composer(s): Graham Nash First release by: Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young - 1970 Covered by multiple other artists
You, who are on the road Must have a code that you can live by And so, become yourself Because the past is just a goodbye Teach your children well Their father's hell did slowly go by And feed them on your dreams The one they pick, the one you'll know by
Don't you ever ask them why, if they told you, you will cry So just look at them and sigh and know they love you
And you, of tender years Can't know the fears that your elders grew by And so please help them with your youth They seek the truth before they can die Teach your parents well Their children's hell will slowly go by And feed them on your dreams The one they pick, the one you'll know by
Don't you ever ask them why, if they told you, you will cry So just look at them and sigh and know they love you...
My Elusive Dreams Composer(s): Curly Putman; Billy Sherrill Originally performed by: Curly Putman Covered by various other artists
I followed you to Texas I followed you to Utah We didn't find it there, so we mo-oved on I followed you to Alabam' Things looked good in Birmingham We didn't find it there, so we moved on
I know you're tired of followin' My elusive dreams and schemes For they're only fleeting things My elusive dreams
I had your child in Memphis You heard of work in Nashville We didn't find it there, so we moved on To a small farm in Nebraska To a gold mine in Alaska We didn't find it there, so we moved on
And now we've left Alaska Because there was no gold mine But this time, only two of us move on Now all we have is each other And a little memory to cling to And still you won't let me go on alone
I know you're tired of followin' My elusive dreams and schemes For they're only fleeting things My elusive dreams (Ahh-ahh-ahh-ahh) For they're only fleeting things My elusive dreams

Well, what do you know He smiled at me in my dreams last night My dreams are getting better all the time And, what do you know he smiled at me in a different light My dreams are getting better all the time

Good Planets Are Hard To Find Composer(s): Steve Forbert Performer(s): Steve Forbert
Good planets are hard to find Temp'rate zones and tropic climes True currents in thriving seas Winds blowin' through breathing trees Strong ozone and safe sunshine Good planets are hard to find
Good planets are in demand Clean beaches and sparkling sand Land masses with room to spare Jet streams and perfect air High forests and low wetlands Good planets are in demand
And the mind don't know If the heart can't see Let the blind man go To his destiny...
Good planets are rare indeed Rain fallin' on crops and seed Big rivers and good topsoil Fuel sources from cane to oil Green gardens of all we need Good planets are rare indeed
And the mind don't know If the heart can't see Let the blind man go To his destiny...
Good planets are scarce and few Earthworms and caribou Strong food chains and tasty meals Textiles and plants that heal Iron mountains and skies of blue Good planets are scarce and few
Teach Me Tonight ((Danish Version: Lær Os Det Nu (Ulla & Grethe) - 1968)) Composer(s): Sammy Cahn - Gene DePaul First release by: Janet Brace - 1954 Covered by multiple other artists
Did you say that I've got a lot to learn Well don't think I'm trying not to learn Since this is the perfect spot to learn Teach me tonight
Starting with the ABC of it Getting right down to the XYZ of it Help me solve the mystery of it Teach me tonight
The sky's a blackboard high above you And if a shooting star goes by I'll use that star to write "I love you" A thousand times across the sky
One thing isn't very clear my love Teachers shouldn't stand so near my love Graduation's almost here my love You'd better teach me tonight
I've played loves scenes in a flick or two And I've also met a chick or two But I still can learn a trick or two Hey teach me tonight
I who thought I knew the score of it Kind of think I should know much more of it Off the wall, the bed, the floor of it Hey teach me tonight
The midnight hours come slowly creeping When there's no one there but you There must be more to life than sleeping Single in a bed for two
What I need most is post graduate What I feel is hard to articulate If you want me to matriculate You'd better teach me tonight
What do you get for lessons Teach me... come on and teach me... teach me tonight
Good Ole Boys Like Me Composer(s): Bob McDill; Don Williams Performer(s): Don Williams
When I was a kid uncle Remus he put me to bed With a picture of Stonewall Jackson above my head With gin in his breath and a bible in his hand And he talked about honor and things I should know Then he staggered a little as he went out the door
(Chorus)
And I still hear the soft southern wind in the live oak trees Those Williams boys they still mean a lot to me Hank and Tennessee I guess were all gonna be what were gonna be So what do you do with good ole boys like me?
Well, nothing makes a sound in the night like the wind does But you aint afraid if youre washed in the blood like I was John R. and the wolfman kept me company By the light of the radio by my bed With Thomas Wolfe whispering in my head
(Chorus)
When I was in school I ran with a kid down the street And I watched him burn himself up on bourbon and speed But I was smarted than most, and I could choose Learned to talk like the man on the six oclock news When I was eighteen, lord, I hit the road But it dont seem to matter how far I go
