    The Flame
    Composer(s): Nicholas Lynedoch Graham - Bobby Mitchell
    First release by: Cheap Trick - 1988



    Another night slowly closes in and I feel so lonely
    Touching heat freezing on my skin I pretend you still hold me
    I'm going crazy, I'm losing sleep
    I'm in too far, I'm in way too deep over you
    I can't believe you're gone
    You were the first, you'll be the last

    Wherever you go I'll be with you
    Whatever you want I'll give it to you
    Whenever you need someone to lay your heart and head upon
    Remember after the fire after all the rain
    I will be the flame
    I will be the flame

    Watching shadows move across the wall feels so fright'ning
    I wanna run to you, I wanna call, but I've been hit by lightning
    Just can't stand up for falling apart
    Can't see through this veil across my heart over you
    You'll always be the one
    You were the first, you'll be the last

    Wherever you go I'll be with you
    Whatever you want I'll give it to you
    Whenever you need someone to lay your heart and head upon
    Remember after the fire after all the rain
    I will be the flame
    I will be the flame

    I'm going crazy, I'm losing sleep
    I'm in way too deep over you
    You'll always be the one
    You were the first, you'll be the last

    Wherever you go I'll be with you
    Whatever you want I'll give it to you
    Whenever you need someone to lay your heart and head upon
    Remember after the fire after all the rain
    I will be the flame
    I will be the flame

    Foolish Questions
    Composer(s): A. Baldwin Sloane; William Lee
    Performer(s): Bill Haley;
    and various other artists



    Now you've all heard foolish questions and no doubt you've wondered why
    Some person will ask a foolish question and expect a sensible reply
    Like when you take your girl some candy, say maybe just after tea
    You notice how she'll grab it and then she'll say, "Is this for me?"

    Foolish Questions! You can answer when you can
    "No I bought this candy for your Ma or Pa, or for John the hired hand
    "I just thought you'd like to see it. Now I'm gonna take it away"
    Now wasn't that a foolish question? You'll hear `em ev'ry day

    And then most every morning, there is someone `round the place
    Who sees you take the shaving brush and lather up your face
    And as you give the razor a preliminary wave
    This fool will walk up and ask you, "Are you gonna take a shave?"

    Foolish questions! Your answer is, I hope
    "No! I ain't prepared for shavin', I just like the taste of soap!
    I kinda like to take the shaving brush and paint myself this way"
    Now wasn't that a foolish question? You'll hear `em ev'ry day!

    Now then there's this fella who meets you on your way
    And asks you why your all dressed up and listens while you say
    That you just been returning from the funeral of poor old Uncle Ned
    As soon as you have told him, he will say, "Is Ned dead?"

    Foolish questions! You might as well reply
    "No, he thought he'd have the funeral now. Then later on he'd die
    You know Ned was always so original, he wanted it that way"
    Now wasn't that a Foolish Question? You'll hear `em ev'ry day!

    Now suppose the elevator guy should forget to close the door
    And you should tumble down, oh say forty-seven floors
    And when you reach the bottom and you're lying there inert
    Some fool will stick his head down the shaft and holler, "Are you hurt?"

    Foolish Questions! Your dying words are
    "No! I was in an awful hurry and that elevator's just too slow
    Usually saves a lot of time, you know, comin' down this way"
    Now wasn't that a Foolish Question? You'll hear `em ev'ry day!

    That was a Foolish Question! You'll hear `em ev'ry day!

    Yeah, come on all of you, big strong men
    Uncle Sam needs your help again
    He's got himself in a terrible jam
    Way down yonder in Vietnam
    So put down your books and pick up a gun
    We're gonna have a whole lotta fun

    And it's one, two, three
    What are we fighting for?
    Don't ask me, I don't give a damn
    Next stop is Vietnam
    And it's five, six, seven
    Open up the pearly gates
    Well there ain't no time to wonder why
    Whoopee! we're all gonna die

    Well, come on generals, let's move fast
    Your big chance has come at last
    Gotta go out and get those reds
    The only good commie is the one who's dead
    And you know that peace can only be won
    When we've blown 'em all to kingdom come

    And it's one, two, three
    What are we fighting for?
    Don't ask me, I don't give a damn
    Next stop is Vietnam
    And it's five, six, seven
    Open up the pearly gates
    Well there ain't no time to wonder why
    Whoopee! we're all gonna die

    Huh!

    Well, come on Wall Street, don't move slow
    Why man, this is war au-go-go
    There's plenty good money to be made
    By supplying the Army with the tools of the trade
    Just hope and pray that if they drop the bomb
    They drop it on the Viet Cong

    And it's one, two, three
    What are we fighting for?
    Don't ask me, I don't give a damn
    Next stop is Vietnam
    And it's five, six, seven
    Open up the pearly gates
    Well there ain't no time to wonder why
    Whoopee! we're all gonna die

    Well, come on mothers throughout the land
    Pack your boys off to Vietnam
    Come on fathers, don't hesitate
    Send 'em off before it's too late
    Be the first one on your block
    To have your boy come home in a box

    And it's one, two, three
    What are we fighting for?
    Don't ask me, I don't give a damn
    Next stop is Vietnam
    And it's five, six, seven
    Open up the pearly gates
    Well there ain't no time to wonder why
    Whoopee! we're all gonna die

    Causas Y Azares
    Composer(s): Silvio Rodríguez
    Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez; Miguel Bosé; La Sonora Ponceña



    Cuando pedro salió a su ventana
    no sabía, mi amor, no sabía
    que la luz de esa clara mañana
    era luz de su último día

    y las causas lo fueron cercando
    cotidianas, invisibles
    y el azar se le iba enredando
    poderoso, invencible

    cuando juan regresaba a su lecho
    no sabía, oh alma querida
    que en la noche lluviosa y sin techo
    lo esperaba el amor de su vida

    y las causas lo fueron cercando
    cotidianas, invisibles
    y el azar se le iba enredando
    poderoso, invencible

    cuando acabe este verso que canto
    yo no sé, yo no sé, madre mía
    si me espera la paz o el espanto
    si el ahora o si el todavía

    pues las causas me andan cercando
    cotidianas, invisibles
    y el azar se me viene enredando
    poderoso, invencible

    You broke his heart and made him cry
    And he's been blue since then
    Now he's found somebody new
    and you want him back again..

    Foolish little girl
    Fickle little girl
    You didn't want him when he wanted you
    He's found another love
    It's her he's dreaming of
    And there's not a single thing that you can do..

    (But I love Him)
    No you don't, it's just your pride that's hurt..
    (I still love him)
    If you got him back again
    You'd go right out and do him dirt

    Foolish little girl
    Fickle little girl
    You didn't want him when he wanted you
    He's found another love
    It's her he's dreaming of
    And there's not a single thing that you can do..

    (But I love Him)
    It's too late to have a change of heart..
    (I still love Him)
    Tomorrow is his wedding day
    And you'll keep quiet if you're smart

    You foolish little girl
    Fickle little girl
    You didn't want him when he wanted you
    He's found another love
    It's her he's dreaming of
    And there's not a single thing that you can do..

    (But I love Him)
    Forget him cause he don't belong to you
    (I still love him)
    It's too late he's found somebody new
    (I really love him)
    There's not a single thing that you can do...

    and multiple other artists



    Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
    Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah (In Gracie's unique soprano)

    The first time I saw you
    I knew at a glance
    I was meant to be yours, yours alone

    When I look in your eyes
    I am thrilled to the skies
    And I feel like a queen (king) on a throne

    The first time I saw you
    I knew at a glance
    I was meant to be yours, yours alone

    My heart was fancy free
    One love meant nothing to me
    Until one grand and glorious night
    You chanced to come my way
    You turned that night into day
    It must have been love at first sight

    The first time I saw you
    I knew at a glance
    I was meant, meant to be yours, yours alone

    As I stood before you
    My heart seemed to dance
    And I prayed you would call, call me your own

    Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
    Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah (In Gracie's unique soprano)

    The first time I saw you
    I knew at a glance
    I was meant to be yours, yours alone

    Caught In The Balance Composer(s): Bobby Kimball - Steve Lukather - Stan Lynch - David Paich - Simon Phillips - Mike Porcaro Performer(s): Toto



    What happened to me
    Oh it seems so long ago
    The cuts run deep
    But the scars still show

    I live in the shadows
    Where it’s been so hard to grow
    I’m still a servant in a nobleman’s robes

    You know my weakness girl you know my kind
    You helped me see when I was blind

    It’s a crime to live my life without you
    Serve out my years in darkness
    Inside these walls I die without you
    And when I close my eyes
    I’m caught in the balance

    Afraid of the hurricane
    I hide in my domain
    I need release from all this pain
    Please don’t forsake me
    In these ruins of your home
    I can’t wait forever
    Don’t leave me alone

    I have a secret if you want to learn
    I will surrender in return

    It’s a crime to live my life without you
    Serve out my years in darkness
    Inside these walls I die without you
    And when I close my eyes
    I’m caught in the balance

    You know my weakness girl you know my kind
    You helped me see when I was blind

    It’s a crime to live my life without you
    Serve out my years in darkness
    Inside these walls I die without you
    And when I close my eyes
    I’m caught in the balance

    It’s a crime to live my life without you
    Serve out my years in darkness
    Inside these walls I die without you
    And when I close my eyes
    I’m caught in the balance

    and various other artists



    I need a love that grows
    I don't want it unless I know
    With each passin' hour
    Someone, somehow
    Will be there, ready to share

    I need a love that's strong
    I'm so tired of being alone
    But will my lonely heart
    Play the part
    Of the fool again, before I begin

    Foolish heart, hear me calling
    Stop before you start falling
    Foolish heart, heed my warning
    You've been wrong before
    Don't be wrong anymore

    Feelin' that feelin' again
    Playin' a game I can't win
    Love's knockin' on the door
    Of my heart once more
    Think I'll let her in
    Before I begin

    Foolish heart, hear me calling
    Stop before, you start falling
    Foolish heart, heed my warning
    You've been wrong before
    Don't be wrong anymore
    Foolish heart
    Foolish, foolish heart
    You've been wrong before

    Foolish heart, hear me calling
    Stop before you start falling
    Foolish heart, heed my warning
    You've been wrong before
    Don't be wrong anymore
    Foolish heart

    Oh foolish foolish heart
    You've been wrong before

    Foolish foolish heart
    Foolish heart

    The Garden Of Roses
    Composer(s): J.E. Dempsey - Johann C. Schmid



    Come into the garden of roses, dear
    And stand where the sunbeams fall
    The roses that bloom in the garden, dear
    Must wither and fade someday

    But perfume arises like incense pure
    To one who is fairer than all!
    Time only adds to the rose of love
    A charm that can never decay

    Beautiful garden of roses
    Kiss'd by the golden dew
    Each pretty flower discloses
    Virtues I find in you

    White means your soul so pure, dear
    Red is your love most true
    You are my garden of beautiful roses
    My own rose
    My one rose, that's you
    That's you

    Cats Under The Stars Composer(s): Jerry Garcia - Robert Hunter Performer(s): Jerry Garcia Band; Pickin' On; Melvin Seals



    Cats on the blacktop, birdie in the treetop
    Someone plays guitar that sounds like cla-vi-nette
    I ain't ready yet, to go to bed
    Think I'll take a walk downtown instead

    Cats on the bandstand
    Give'em each a big hand
    Anyone who sweats like that must be all right
    No one wants to fight; no blackeye
    Just another cat beneath the stars tonight

    Cats in the limelight, feels like it's alright
    Everybody wants something they might not get
    I ain' ready yet, it ain't complete
    That's why I am headin' down to Alleycat Street

    Sa-tin blouse unbuttoning
    Sa-tin blouse unbuttoning
    Time is a stripper doin' it just for you
    Time is a stripper doin' it just for you

    Just for you
    Just For You

    Knock in the brass tacks, cover up your tracks Jack
    You ain't nowhere till you can pay your own way back
    What else do you lack to make it right
    But cats down under the stars tonight

    Fooled Around And Fell In Love
    Composer(s): Elvin Bishop
    Performer(s): Elvin Bishop;
    and various other artists



    I must have been through about a million girls
    I'd love 'em then I'd leave 'em alone
    I didn't care how much they cried, no sir
    Their tears left me cold as a stone

    But then I fooled around and fell in love
    I fooled around and fell in love, yes I did
    I fooled around and fell in love, I fooled around and fell in love

    It used to be when I'd see a girl that I liked
    I'd get out my book and write down her name
    But when the grass got a little greener over on the other side
    I'd just tear out that page

    I fooled around and fell in love
    I fooled around and fell in love, since I met you baby
    I fooled around and fell in love, I fooled around and fell in love

    Free, on my own is the way I used to be
    Ah, but since I met you baby, love's got a hold on me
    It's got a hold on me now, I can't let go of you baby

    I fooled around and fell in love
    I fooled around and fell in love, oh yes I did
    I fooled around, fooled around, fooled around, fooled around,
    fooled around, fooled around, fell in love
    Fooled around, fooled around, fooled around, fooled around,
    fooled around, fooled around, fell in love
    I fooled around, fell in love
    I fell in love, I fell in love, yes I did

    The First Thing You Know
    Composer(s): Alan Jay Lerner - André Previn
    Performer(s): Lee Marvin



    God made the mountains
    God made the sky
    God made the people
    God knows why

    He fixed up the planet
    As best as He could
    Then in come the people
    And gum it up good

    The first thing you know

    They civilized the foothills
    And everywhere He put hills
    The mountains and valley below

    They come along and take 'em
    And civilize and make 'em
    A place where no civilized
    Person would go

    The first thing you know
    The first thing you know

    They civilize what's pretty
    By puttin' up a city
    Where nothin' that's
    Pretty can grow

    They muddy up the winter
    And civilize it into
    A place too uncivilized
    Even for snow

    The first thing you know

    They civilize left
    They civilize right
    Till nothing is left
    Till nothing is right

    They civilize freedom
    Till no one is free
    No one except
    By coincidence, me

    The first thing you know

    The boozer's in prison
    And the criminally isn't
    And only the rascals have dough

    When I see a parson
    I gotta put my arse in
    A wagon that follows the tail of a crow

    The first thing you know
    I pick up a blow!
    The first thing you know

    Cat's In The Cradle Composer(s): Sandy Chapin - Harry Chapin First release by: Harry Chapin - 1974 Covered by multiple other artists



    My child arrived just the other day He came to the world in the usual way But there were planes to catch, and bills to pay He learned to walk while I was away And he was talking 'fore I knew it, and as he grew He'd say, "I'm gonna be like you, dad You know I'm gonna be like you" And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon Little boy blue and the man in the moon "When you coming home, dad?" "I don't know when But we'll get together then You know we'll have a good time then" My son turned ten just the other day He said, "Thanks for the ball, dad, come on let's play Can you teach me to throw?" I said, "Not today I got a lot to do" He said, "That's ok" And he walked away, but his smile never dimmmed Said, "I'm gonna be like him, yeah You know I'm gonna be like him" And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon Little boy blue and the man in the moon "When you coming home, dad?" "I don't know when But we'll get together then You know we'll have a good time then" Well, he came from college just the other day So much like a man I just had to say "Son, I'm proud of you Can you sit for a while?" He shook his head, and he said with a smile "What I'd really like, dad, is to borrow the car keys See you later Can I have them please?" And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon Little boy blue and the man in the moon "When you coming home, son?" "I don't know when But we'll get together then, dad You know we'll have a good time then" I've long since retired and my son's moved away I called him up just the other day I said, "I'd like to see you if you don't mind" He said, "I'd love to, dad, if I could find the time You see, my new job's a hassle, and the kid's got the flu But it's sure nice talking to you, dad It's been sure nice talking to you" And as I hung up the phone, it occurred to me He'd grown up just like me My boy was just like me And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon Little boy blue and the man in the moon "When you coming home, son?" "I don't know when But we'll get together then, dad You know we'll have a good time then"

    Fool, Fool, Fool
    Composer(s): Ahmet Ertegun
    Performer(s): The Clovers
    and multiple other artists



    Fool, fool, fool that I was to fall for you
    Fool, fool, fool that I was to fall for you
    Oh what a fool I was, to think you could love me too

    Well, the first time that I saw you, you looked so doggone sweet
    When you walked down the street, I said 'There goes my meat'
    (Needless to say, Kay Starr's version didn't have this line)

    Fool, fool, fool that I was to fall for you
    Oh what a fool I was, to think you could love me too

    I can't forget you darlin', though I'm left out in the cold
    I guess I still love you, and will always feel the same

    Fool, fool, fool that I was to fall for you
    Oh what a fool I was, to think you could love me too

    The First Hello, The Last Goodbye
    Composer(s): Cardew Robinson - Roger Whittaker
    Performer(s): Roger Whittaker



    They say when you gain a lover
    You begin to lose a friend
    That the end of the beginning’s
    The beginning of the end
    They say the moment that you’re born
    Is when you start to die
    And the first time that we said hello
    Began our last goodbye

    We know each summer’s coming
    Means the winter’s waiting there
    And gold would not be precious
    If we all had gold to spare
    You only know how low is low
    The first time that you fly
    And the first time that we said hello
    Began our last goodbye

    If I could live forever
    It is certain I would never know
    Another single second so sublime
    At the moment of our meeting
    When our hands first touched in greeting
    How I wanted to hold back the hands of time

    When they begin the overture
    They start to end the show
    When you think I’ll never need you
    Then I knew that you would go
    The sound of all our laughter
    Is now echoed in a sigh
    And the first time that we said hello
    Began our last goodbye

    If I could live forever
    It’s certain I would never know
    Another single second so sublime
    At the moment of our meeting
    When our hands first touched in greeting
    How I wanted to hold back the hands of time, oh yes

    When they begin the overture
    They start to end the show
    When you think I’ll never need you
    Then I knew that you would go
    The sound of all our laughter
    Is now echoed in a sigh
    And the first time that we said hello
    Began our last goodbye
    And the first time that we said hello
    Began our last goodbye
