I remember when I first saw him Something told me that I couldn't ignore him & I've been dreamin' of him every night ever since we met 'Cause he's the kind of boy you can't forget (He's the kind of boy you can't forget)
I remember when I first kissed him He touched my hand & then I couldn't resist him & though he kissed me 'bout a week ago, I ain't got over it yet 'Cause he's the kind of boy you can't forget (He's the kind of boy you can't forget)
Wo wo wo wo wo, wo wo wo wo wo I could be so happy knowing he was mine (yeah yeah yeah) all the time & I could make him happy, I would treat him good, yes I would, wo wo Wo wo wo wo wo, wo wo wo wo wo
Gotta tell him that I adore him There is nothin' that I wouldn't do for him I won't be happy till I make him mine & a wedding day is set 'Cause he's the kind of boy you can't forget (He's the kind of boy you can't forget)
Chances Are
Composer(s): Bob Seger
First release by: Bob Seger & Martina McBride - 1998
Chances are you'll find me Somewhere on your road tonight Seems I always end up driving by Ever since I've known you It seems you're on my way
All the rules of logic don't apply I long to see you in the night Be with you 'til morning light
I remember clearly how you looked The night we met I recall your laughter and your smile I remember how you made me Feel so at ease I remember all your grace and your style
And now you're all I long to see You've come to mean so much to me
Chances are I'll see you In my dreams tonight You'll be smiling like the night we met Chances are I'll hold you and I'll offer All I have
You're the only one I can't forget Baby you're the best I've evermet
And I'll be dreaming of the future And hoping you'll be by my side And in the morning I'll be longing for the night For the night
Chances are I'll see you Somewhere in my dreams tonight You'll be smiling like the night we met Chances are I'll hold you and I'll offer All I have
You're the only one I can't forget Baby you're the best I've ever met
Friends Will Be Friends Composer(s): Freddie Mercury; John Deacon Performer(s): Queen; Prince Lasha; The London Symphony Orch.; The Starlite Orch.
Another red letter day So the pound has dropped and the children are creating The other half ran away Taking all the cash and leaving you with the lumber Got a pain in the chest Doctor's on strike what you need is a rest
It's not easy love but you've got friends you can trust Friends will be friends When you're in need of love they give you care and attention Friends will be friends When you're through with life and all hope is lost Hold out your hands 'cos friends will be friends right till the end
Now it's a beautiful day The postman delivered a letter from your lover Only a phone call away You tried to track him down but somebody stole his number As a matter of fact You're getting used to life without him in your way
It's so easy love 'cos you got friends you can trust Friends will be friends When you're in need of love they give you care and attention Friends will be friends When you're through with life and all hope is lost Hold out your hands 'cos friends will be friends right till the end
It's so easy love 'cos you got friends you can trust Friends will be friends When you're in need of love they give you care and attention Friends will be friends When you're through with life and all hope is lost Hold out your hands 'cos friends will be friends right till the end
Friends will be friends When you're in need of love they give you care and attention Friends will be friends When you're through with life and all hope is lost Hold out your hands 'cos right till the end Friends will be friends

Under blue moon I saw you So soon you'll take me Up in your arms, too late to beg you Or cancel it, though I know it must be The killing time Unwillingly mine
Fate Up against your will Through the thick and thin He will wait until You give yourself to him
In starlit nights I saw you So cruelly you kissed me Your lips a magic world Your sky all hung with jewels The killing moon Will come too soon
Fate Up against your will Through the thick and thin He will wait until You give yourself to him
Under blue moon I saw you So soon you'll take me Up in your arms, too late to beg you or cancel it though I know it must be The killing time Unwillingly mine
Fate Up against your will Through the thick and thin He will wait until You give yourself to him
Fate Up against your will Through the thick and thin He will wait until You give yourself to him You give yourself to him
La la la la la...
Fate Up against your will Through the thick and thin He will wait until You give yourself to him You give yourself to him
La la la la la...
Fate Up against your will Through the thick and thin He will wait until You give your... self to him
Fate Up against your will Through the thick and thin He will wait until You give yourself to him

Friends Of Mine Composer(s): Chris White Performer(s): The Zombies; Chrysanthemums
When we're all in a crowd And you catch her eye
And then you both smile I feel so good inside And when I'm with her She talks about you The things that you say The things that you do
It feels so good to know two people So in love... So in love...
They are friends of mine (Joyce and Terry) They are friends of mine (Paul and Molly) And they've got something (Liz and Brian) It's so hard to find (Joy and David) They are friends of mine (Kim and Maggie) They are friends of mine (June and Daffy) And they've got something (Jean and Jim) You don't often find (And Jim and Christine)
She takes your hand When the world stays outside That's something to see That's nothing to hide
And when I feel bad When people disappoint me That's when I need you two To help me believe
It feels so good to know two people So in love... So in love...
They are friends of mine (Joyce and Terry) They are friends of mine (Paul and Molly) And they've got something (Liz and Brian) It's so hard to find (Joy and David) They are friends of mine (Kim and Maggie) They are friends of mine (June and Daffy) And they've got something (Jean and Jim) You don't often find (And Jim and Christine)

The Kid's Last Fight Composer(s): Bob Merrill Performer(s): Frankie Laine; The Statler Brothers
It was Tiger Wilson versus Kid McCoy In the summer of `ninety-three Now the Kid was everybody's pride and joy Just as game as a kid could be
And his darlin' Bess was in the second row She was prayin' with all her might Sayin, "Kid, we need that little bungalow Oh, you've just gotta win tonight"
Come on, Kid, come on, Kid Let's hit him with a left and a right Go on, Kid, go on, Kid But how were they to know it was the Kid's last fight (But how were they to know it was the Kid's last fight)
Now the Kid had fever to the very bone But nobody would ever guess He was in there fightin' on his heart alone 'Cause he just had to win for Bess
Oh, the Kid was battered, the Kid was floored But the count never got to ten Though his brain was reelin' when the people roared He was up on his feet again
Come on, Kid, come on, Kid Let's hit him with a left and a right Go on, Kid, go on, Kid But how were they to know it was the Kid's last fight (But how were they to know it was the Kid's last fight)
Said the Tiger, scowlin', don't you know you're through I can whip you just like a child I'm gonna take the fight and take your woman too When he heard that the Kid went wild
Said the Kid, "For that I'll tear you limb from limb" And he sprang like an angry colt He said a punch a-flyin at the Tiger's chin Knocked him out like a thunderbolt
Come on, Kid, come on, Kid Let's hit him with a left and a right Go on, Kid, go on, Kid But how were they to know it was the Kid's last fight (But how were they to know it was the Kid's last fight)
To the crowd that saw it there was little doubt That the Kid was a champ that night But the champ would never have another bout `Twas the fever that won the fight
Gather round, I'm bettin' even money folks There's a bell soundin' way up high And the champ is climbin' through the golden ropes Of the Big Ring up in the sky
Come on, Kid, come on, Kid Let's hit him with a left and a right Go on, Kid, go on, Kid But how were they to know it was the Kid's last fight

Friends In Love Composer(s): Bill Champlin; David Foster; Jay Graydon Performer(s): Johnny Mathis; The Countdown Singers; Dionne Warwick
Sometimes, lonely nights turn into sunny days I never thought I'd feel this way I never knew that you and I were meant to be in love Oh, darling, you've always been around to see me through How was I to know you'd make my dreams come true? Time and time again before, always on our own but now we're friends in love
Hoping that we'll always still be friends in love It's dawn and we're together Darling, now we got forever and a day Don't you go away
Remember everytime you cried you came to me Much to my surprise, I found someone to see Even nights of loneliness you were always there for me We're friends in love
repeat chorus
You turned around, looked my way I can't say that it hasn't crossed my mind I've loved you all along Ah now we're leavin' yesterday behind we'll never be alone We're friends in love
The Kids Are Alright ((Finnish Version: Sexi On In (Clifters) - 1989)) Composer(s): Pete Townshend First release by: The Who - 1965 Covered by multiple other artists
I don't mind other guys dancing with my girl That's fine, I know them all pretty well But I know sometimes I must get out in the light Better leave her behind with the kids, they're alright The kids are alright
Sometimes, I feel I got to get away Bells chime, I know I got to get away And I know if I don't, I'll go out of my mind Better leave her behind with the kids, they're alright The kids are alright
I know if I go things would be a lot better for her I had things planned, but her folks wouldn't let her
I don't mind other guys dancing with my girl That's fine, I know them all pretty well But I know sometimes I must get out in the light Better leave her behind with the kids, they're alright The kids are alright
Sometimes, I feel I got to get away Bells chime, I know I got to get away And I know if I don't, I'll go out of my mind Better leave her behind with the kids, they're alright The kids are alright
Champs Du Possible Composer(s): Bernard Lavilliers Performer(s): Bernard Lavilliers
Devant nous l'an 2000, quelques heures nous séparent Quel ordre se profile, quel rapport de pouvoir? Devant nous l'an 2000 Qui aurait pu prévoir Qu'il ne restait qu'un fil accroché à l'histoire?
Les champs magnétiques de ma déraison Les voix qui me dictent les cris d'alarme Les mots d'amour Qui me hantent, qui m'entourent, qui me hantent Qui m'entourent
Devant nous l'an 2000 et le monde en furie Le grand ordre mondial et les nations unies Pas de contre-pouvoir aux dollars qui défilent Et puis dans les couloirs les banquiers qui se faufilent Derrière nous 2000 ans et des années lumières Quelques tyrans sanglants, quelque beaux militaires
Les champs magnétiques de ma déraison Les voix qui me dictent les cris d'alarme Les mots d'amour Qui me hantent, qui m'entourent, qui me hantent Qui m'entourent
Devant nous l'an 2000 et le champ du possible Il faut revisiter en partant du sensible Aux artistes il échoit des choses à inventer Et prendre quelques rêves pour la réalité
Les champs magnétiques de ma déraison Les voix qui me dictent les cris d'alarme Les mots d'amour Qui me hantent, qui m'entourent, qui me hantent Qui m'entourent
Friends And Neighbors Composer(s): Malcolm Lockyer; Marvin Scott Performer(s): Sammy Kaye; Billy Cotton
When you've got friends and neighbors All the world is a happier place Friends and neighbors Put a smile on the gloomiest face Just take your little troubles and share `em With the folks next door Make's it twice as easy to bear `em That's what friends are for `Cos if you've friends and neighbors That is something money won't buy You can hold your head up high Although you've not a penny And your house may be tumbling down With friends and neighbors You're the richest man in town
`Cos if you've friends and neighbors That is something money won't buy You can hold your head up high Although you've not a penny And your house may be tumbling down With friends and neighbors You're the richest man in town

What would you say if I told you I've always wanted to hold you? I don't know what we're afraid of Nothing would change if we made love

Champion At Keeping Them Rolling
Composer(s): Ewan MacColl
Performer(s): The Dubliners; Eric Andersen
I am an old-timer, I travel the road I sit in me wagon and lumber me load Me hotel is the jungle, a camp me abode And I'm well known to Blondie and Mary Me liquor is diesel oil laced with strong tea And the old highway code was me first ABC And I cut me eye teeth on an old AEC And I'm champion at keeping them rolling
I've sat in the cabin and broiled in the sun Been snowed up on scaffs on the Manchester run I've crawled through the fog with me twenty-two ton Of fish that was stinking like blazes From London to Glasgow to the Newcastle quay From Liverpool, Preston and Bristol City The polons on the road give the thumb sign to me But I'm champion at keeping them rolling
You may sing of your soldiers and sailors so bold But there's many and many a hero untold Who sits at the wheel in the heat and the cold Day after day without sleeping So watch out for cops and slow down at the bend Check all your gauges and watch your big end And zing with your lights when you pass an old friend You'll be champion at keeping them rolling
So watch out for cops and slow down at the bend Check all your gauges and watch your big end And zing with your lights when you pass an old friend You'll be champion at keeping them rolling
