    The Rudder And The Rock
    Composer(s): William Oliver - Ray Glaser - Fred Warren - Kenneth McGehen
    Performer(s): David Whitfield



    One night a sailor at full look out
    Heard a lonely seagull cry
    He caught a sudden smell of brimstone
    And a strange ship floated by
    A dead man’s hand was on the tiller
    As it sailed beneath the moon
    He heard the ghostly captain holler
    Your time is coming soon
    Who does not answer to the rudder
    Shall answer to the rock
    If you don’t watch the compass brother
    You’ll never make the dock
    You’ll end your days right on the bottom
    Under Davy Jones’s lock
    Who does not answer to the rudder
    Shall answer to the rock

    The crew sang out a devil’s shanty
    As they hauled their mainsail tight
    Their dungarees were rags and tatters
    And their bones were gleaming white
    The bosun held an empty spyglass
    Where the captain’s eye should be
    For they were doomed to sail the ocean
    For all eternity
    Who does not answer to the rudder
    Shall answer to the rock
    If you don’t watch the compass brother
    You’ll never make the dock
    You’ll end your days right on the bottom
    Under Davy Jones’s lock
    Who does not answer to the rudder
    Shall answer to the rock

    A crash of thunder shook the heavens
    As the sailor shook with fear
    The lightning flickered round the ghost ship
    As he watched it disappear
    He knew it was the Flying Dutchman
    Come to warn him to take heed
    He vowed when he got back to harbour
    A better life he’d lead
    Who does not answer to the rudder
    Shall answer to the rock
    If you don’t watch the compass brother
    You’ll never make the dock
    You’ll end your days right on the bottom
    Under Davy Jones’s lock
    Who does not answer to the rudder
    Shall answer to the rock
    Shall answer to the rock

    First release by: Nat King Cole - 1952
    Covered by multiple other artists



    There's a warm red ecstasy to love
    That makes you tremble with its fire
    And there's a pure white majesty to love
    When you have both, you have your heart's desire

    Can love be as warm as the ruby
    Can love be as pure as the pearl
    Just look in the heart of my love for you
    You'll find the ruby and the pearl

    My love will endure as the diamond
    And shine with the shimmer of gold
    It glows as the bright star above for you
    A thing of beauty to behold

    Come close and cling to my kiss
    Stay close and share the passion of this

    Yes, love is as warm as the ruby
    And love is as pure as the pearl
    Just look in the heart of my love for you
    You'll find the ruby and the pearl

    The ruby and the pearl

    Close your eyes and leave the world behind you
    Close your eyes till morning comes to find you
    While the stars are shining above
    Only our love dreams will remind you

    Through the skies a silver moon is sweeping
    Close your eyes and soon you will be sleeping
    Say "goodnight" and then turn out the light
    And close your eyes

    Performer(s): Minnie Riperton



    Days... floating round the bend
    Thru the rainbow's end
    Return to forever

    Nights... ring around the moon
    ending all too soon
    Return to forever

    When we reach the Autumn's bend
    Will we wish that we were young again
    Laughing in the face of time
    If only we knew now, what we did then

    Clouds... billow cross the sky
    Changing as they fly
    Return to forever

    Waves... rush to kiss the shore
    Once and nevermore
    Go back, return to forever

    How I wish that you were mine
    And we could live again that summertime
    To be that happy just this once again
    If only we felt now as we did then

    Child... holding out your hand
    Please try to understand
    Return to forever, return to forever

    The Rubberband Man
    Composer(s): Linda Creed - Thom Bell
    Performer(s): The Spinners; Youssou N'Dour; Electric Six



    Hand me down my walkin’ cane, hand me down my hat
    Hurry now and don’t be late, ‘cause we ain’t got time to chat
    You and me, we’re goin’ out to catch the latest sounds
    Guaranteed to blow your mind so high you won’t come down!

    Hey, y’all prepare yourself for The Rubberband Man!
    You never heard a sound like The Rubberband Man!
    You’re bound to lose control when The Rubberband starts to jam!

    Oh, Lord, this dude is outta sight!
    Everything he does seems to come out right!

    Once I went to hear him play at a club outside of town
    I was so surprised, I was hypnotized by the sound this cat’s puttin’ down!
    When I saw this short fat guy stretch a band between his toes
    Hey, I laughed so hard ‘cause the man got down when he finally reached his nose!

    Hey, y’all prepare yourself for The Rubberband Man!
    You never heard a sound like The Rubberband Man!
    You’re bound to lose control when The Rubberband starts to jam!

    Got that rubberband up on his toes!
    And then he wriggled it up all around his nose!

    (Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo)
    Guaranteed to blow your mind!
    (Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo)
    Playin’ all that music, yet keepin’ time!
    (Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo)
    Where in the world did he learn that?! Oh, Lord!
    (Doo doo doo doo doo)
    Lord, help him get away!

    Hey, y’all prepare yourself for The Rubberband Man!
    You never heard a sound like The Rubberband Man!
    You’re bound to lose control when The Rubberband starts to jam!

    Doo doo doo doo doo,
    Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo!
    Doo doo doo doo doo,
    Rubberband Man, Rubberband Man!

    (Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo)
    Doo doo doo doo doo!
    (Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo)
    Mmm! Watch him! He keep a-move, a-just a mo-vin'!
    (Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo)
    Got a groovin' on the corner!
    (Doo doo doo doo doo)
    He's had enough, y’all!
    Whoa-oh-oh!

    Hey, y’all prepare yourself for The Rubberband Man!
    You never heard a sound like The Rubberband Man!
    You’re bound to lose control when The Rubberband starts to jam!

    Ah-yah-yah-yah-yah!
    Whoa, that Rubberband Man's a doozy!
    Move so quick, Lord, he makes me lose it!

    (Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo)
    And then he stops the show, now!
    He wiggled it up, he wiggled it down!
    (Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo)
    Got his feet to movin', and that Rubberband off the ground!
    (Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo)
    He lifted it way up high, ha!
    In the sky, 'y'all!
    (Doo doo doo doo doo)
    Oh get with it, y’all!

    Hey, y’all prepare yourself for The Rubberband Man!
    You never heard a sound like The Rubberband Man!
    You’re bound to lose control when The Rubberband starts to jam!

    Doo doo doo doo doo doo
    Doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo!
    Doo doo doo doo doo doo
    Rubberband Man, oh!

    (Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo)
    How much of this stuff do he think we can stand?
    (Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo)
    So much rhythm, grace and debonair from one man, Lord!
    (Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo)
    And then he had nerve to wiggle his left toe!
    (Doo doo doo doo doo)
    To his knee, got the feelin’ in his head, y’all!
    Ah, come on, baby!

    Hey, y’all prepare yourself for The Rubberband Man!
    You never heard a sound like The Rubberband Man!
    You’re bound to lose control when The Rubberband starts to jam!

    Rubberband Man starts to jam,
    Movin’ up and down across the land!
    Got people all in his ways,
    Everything about him seems out of place!

    (Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo)
    Just a movin’, just a movin’, just a move-move-movin’
    Just a Rubberband, Rubberband Man!
    (Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo)
    Just a movin’, just a movin’, just a move-move-movin’
    Just a Rubberband, Rubberband Man, get down!
    (Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo)
    Oh, get down lover, uh-huh!
    (Doo doo doo doo doo)
    Oh, he can jam, y'all!

    Hey, y’all prepare yourself for The Rubberband Man!
    You never heard a sound like The Rubberband Man! (He never fails to groove!)
    You’re bound to lose (And did you see him move?) control when The Rubberband starts to jam!

    Oohwee! What's he doin' to me?!
    Rhythms I ain't felt before!
    Just move 'em up by me!

    (Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo)
    Gotta move! I gotta groove!
    Rubberband Man, oh-oh-oh!
    (Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo)
    Ah-yah-yah-yah!
    (Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo)
    The way he twiddles his toes and can play it on his nose is twofold!
    (Doo doo doo doo doo)
    How does he do it, y’all?!
    I don't know!

    Hey, y’all prepare yourself for The Rubberband Man!
    You never heard a sound like The Rubberband Man!
    You’re bound to lose control when The Rubberband starts to jam!

    I'm ready to jam, ugh! Gonna do my Rubberband!
    I'm ready to jam, ugh! Gonna do my Rubberband!

    (Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo)
    Twang-a-twang-a-twang-a-twang-a-twang!
    Ugh! Lord, have mercy!
    (Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo)
    Twang-a-twang-a-twang-a-twang-a-twang!
    Ugh! Just stopped me in my bones!
    (Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo)
    Twang-a-twang-a-twang-a-twang-a-twang!
    Don't mess with me, y'all! I got a groove when I'm here!
    (Doo doo doo doo doo)
    Ah-yah-yah-yah!

    Hey, y’all prepare yourself for The Rubberband Man!
    You never heard a sound like The Rubberband Man!
    You’re bound to lose control when The Rubberband starts to jam!

    Oh, he's a big, fat man that moves real good!
    Everybody oughta knock on wood!
    When you see The Man do his stuff
    Oh, Lord, I done seen enough!

    (Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo)
    A groovy show! Gotta standing room, side-to-side!
    (Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo)
    Oh, gimme a grip and then a-hold on tight!
    (Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo)

    Music play
    something dreamy for dancing
    while we're here romancing
    It's love's holiday
    And Love will be our guide

    Close your Eyes
    When you open them dear
    I'll be right hear by your side
    So...

    Close your eyes
    rest your head on my shoulder and sleep
    Close your eyes
    And I will close mine

    Close your eyes
    Let's pretend that we're both counting sheep
    Close your eyes
    This is divine

    Return To Camp Grenada
    Performer(s): Allan Sherman



    Hello muddah, hello faddah
    I am back at Camp Grenada
    And I'm writing you this letter
    Just to say my compound fracture's getting better

    Noone here knows where my trunk is
    And my bunk is where the skunk is
    But the food here is improving
    'Cause the little black things in it are not moving

    Our camp nurse is quite a swimmer
    She says swimming makes you slimmer
    Her name's Mrs. Pellagrini
    Have you ever seen a whale in a bikini?

    All our bathrooms have such thin doors
    Gee I'd wish they'd move them indoors
    We're all tired of mother goose here
    So next Friday night they're having Lenny Bruce here

    Let me stay, oh muddah, faddah let me stay
    I love Grenada every night the campfire's really keen
    Oh ma please send some unguintine

    Let me stay, up here in muddah nature's land
    And tiptoe through the tulips grand
    To leave would be a shame
    Besides, I'd miss the poker game

    Please don't worry, faddah, muddah
    I'll take care of little brudda
    He plays ball here and he rows here
    And I hope they teach him how to blow his nose here

    He wakes up half past six hand
    Goes directly to the quicksand
    He was lonely, now he's better
    He's like all of us except his bed is wetter

    The Royal Scam
    Composer(s): Donald Fagen - Walter Becker
    Performer(s): Steely Dan



    And they wandered in
    From the city of St. John
    Without a dime
    Wearing coats that shined
    Both red and green
    Colors from their sunny island
    From their boats of iron
    They looked upon the promised land
    Where surely life was sweet
    On the rising tide
    To New York City
    Did they ride into the street

    See the glory
    Of the royal scam

    They are hounded down
    To the bottom of a bad town
    Amid the ruins
    Where they learn to fear
    An angry race of fallen kings
    Their dark companions
    While the memory of
    Their southern sky was clouded by
    A savage winter
    Every patron saint
    Hung on the wall, shared the room
    With twenty sinners

    See the glory
    Of the royal scam

    By the blackened wall
    He does it all
    He thinks he's died and gone to heaven
    Now the tale is told
    By the old man back home
    He reads the letter
    How they are paid in gold
    Just to babble in the back room
    All night and waste their time
    And they wandered in
    From the city of St. John without a dime

    See the glory
    Of the royal scam

    Close Your Eyes
    Performer(s): Edward Bear



    Close Your Eyes
    I dreamed she came back home last night
    Asked her where she'd been
    She said I've been around the world and
    It almost did me in
    She said I hope you didn't wait too long
    I have no sense of time
    I see you've written one Last Song
    And I realized it's mine
    Think of all the times we talked
    Sing a nursery rhyme

    Close your eyes
    I'm right beside you
    Run for miles you know I'll find you
    Cause it's all the same
    Change your lovers
    Change your name
    If you need a friend
    Close your eyes
    I'm back again

    She really came back home last night
    Seemed as if she'd changed
    Said that she go back to school
    And try things once again
    But you know it didn't take too long
    Till she lost her way
    And all the reason in the world could see
    She couldn't stay
    As I helped her pack her things
    It didn't hurt to say

    Close your eyes
    I'm right beside you
    Run for miles you know I'll find you
    Cause it's all the same
    Change your lovers
    Change your name
    If you need a friend
    Close your eyes
    I'm back again

    'Cause it's all the same
    Change your lovers
    Change your name
    If you need a friend
    Close your eyes
    I'm back again

    Return Of The Grievous Angel
    Composer(s): Thomas S. Brown; Gram Parsons
    Performer(s): Gram Parsons;
    and various other artists



    Won't you scratch my itch sweet Annie Rich
    And welcome me back to town
    Come out on your porch or I'll step into your parlor
    And I'll show you how it all went down

    Out with the truckers and the kickers and the cowboy angels
    And a good saloon in every single town

    Oh, and I remember something you once told me
    And I'll be damned if it did not come true
    Twenty thousand roads I went down, down, down
    And they all lead me straight back home to you

    `Cause I headed West to grow up with the country
    Across those prairies with the waves of grain
    And I saw my devil,
    and I saw my deep blue sea
    And I thought about a calico bonnet from
    Cheyenne to Tennessee

    We flew straight across that river bridge
    last night a half past two
    The switchman wave his lantern goodbye
    and so long as we went rolling through
    Billboards and truckstops pass by the grievous angel
    And now I know just what I have to do

    And the man on the radio won't leave me alone
    He wants to take my money for something
    that I've never been shown

    And I saw my devil
    and I saw my deep blue sea
    And I thought about a calico bonnet from
    Cheyenne to Tennessee

    The news I could bring I met up with the king
    On his head an amphetamine crown
    He talked about unbuckling that old bible belt
    And lighted out for some desert town

    Out with the truckers and the kickers and the cowboy angels
    And a good saloon in every single town

    Oh, but I remembered something you once told me
    And I'll be damned if it did not come true
    Twenty thousand roads I went down, down, down
    And they all lead me straight back home to you

    Twenty thousand roads I went down, down, down
    And they all lead me straight back home to you

    The Roving Kind
    (Adapted from: The Pirate Ship)
    Composer(s): Jesse Cavanaugh - Arnold Stanton
    Performer(s): Guy Mitchell
    and multiple other artists



    (She had a dark and a rovin' eye-i-eye)
    (And her hair hung down in ring-a-lets)
    (She was a nice girl, a proper girl)
    (But one of the rovin' kind)

    As I cruised out one eve-a-ning upon a night's career
    I spied a lofty clipper ship and to her I did steer
    I heisted out my sig-a-nals, which she so quickly knew
    And when she saw my bunting fly, she immediately hove too-oo-oo

    (She had a dark and a rovin' eye-i-eye)
    (And her hair hung down in ring-a-lets)
    (She was a nice girl, a proper girl)
    (But one of the rovin' kind)

    I took her for some fish and chips and treated her so fine
    And hardly did I realise she was the rovin' kind
    I kissed her lips, I missed her lips and found to my surprise
    She was nothin' but a pirate ship rigged up in a disgui-i-ise

    (She had a dark and a rovin' eye-i-eye)
    And her hair hung down in ring-a-lets
    (She was a nice girl, a proper girl)
    (But one of the rovin' kind)

    So come all ye good sailor men who sail the wint'ry sea
    And come all you apprentice lads, a warnin' take from me
    Beware of lofty clipper ships, they'll be the ruin of you
    For it t'was there that she made me walk the plank and pushed me under
    too-hoo-hoo

    (She had a dark and a rovin' eye-i-eye)
    (And her hair hung down in ring-a-lets)
    She was a nice girl, a proper girl
    But one of the rovin' kind
    (She was a nice girl, a proper girl)
    But one of the rovin' kind

    Close Up The Honky Tonks
    Composer(s): Red Simpson
    Performer(s): Buck Owens
    and various other artists



    She's in some honky tonk tonight I know
    She's dancing where the music's loud and lights are low
    In a crowed bar she likes to hang around
    And as long as there's a honky tonk, she'll never settle down

    So close up the honky tonks, lock all the doors
    Don't let the one I love go there any more
    Close up the honky tonks, throw away the key
    Then maybe the one I love will come back to me

    I wish I had the power to turn back the time
    And live again the hours when she was all mine
    But it hurts to see her running with that crowd down
    And as long as there's a honky tonk, she'll never settle down

    Return Of The Farmer's Son
    Composer(s): Brian Downey; Phil Lynott
    Performer(s): Thin Lizzy



    Well my father is a farmer
    A damn good one at his trade
    And he's always loved my mama
    Though we laid her in the grave

    I've been down, I've been down
    A hustler and a cheat
    I'll always love my father
    His kind heart can't be beat

    Oh...

    I'd spit in your face if you laughed at me
    Don't you know, don't you know
    I might be a dipper, but I ain't a thief
    Don't you know, don't you know

    Oh yeah...
    Come on...

    Well my father is a farmer
    Used to smack me on the ass
    Used to dress me up in my sunday best
    Get down, get down to sunday mass

    And I've been down, so down
    Don't you know, don't you know
    I'll always love my father
    I love him so

    The Rover
    Composer(s): Robert Plant - Jimmy Page
    First release by: Led Zeppelin - 1975
    Covered by multiple other artists



    I've been to London, seen seven wonders
    I know to trip is just to fall
    I used to rock it, sometimes I'd roll it
    I always knew what it was for
    There can be no denyin'
    That the wind'll shake 'em down
    And the flat world's flyin'
    There's a new plague on the land
    If we could just join hands
    If we could just join hands
    If we could just join hands
    Traversed the planet when heaven sent me
    I saw the kings who rule them all
    Still by the firelight and purple moonlight
    I hear the rested rivers call
    And the wind is crying
    From a love that won't grow cold
    My lover, she is lying
    On the dark side of the globe
    If we could just join hands
    If we could just join hands
    If we could just join hands
    You got me rockin'
    When I ought to be a-rollin'
    Darlin', tell me, darlin'
    Which way to go
    You keep me rockin', baby
    Then you keep me stolen
    Won't you tell me, darlin'
    Which way to go, that's right
    Oh how I wonder, oh how I worry
    And I would dearly like to know
    If all this wonder of earthly plunder
    Will it leave us anything to show
    And our time is flyin'
    See the candle burnin' low
    Is the new world rising
    From the shambles of the old?
    If we could just join hands

    Close To You
    Composer(s): K.K. Downing; Glenn Tipton
    Performer(s): Judas Priest



    So many years that we were one
    So many things we've done
    The memories alive
    But most of me has died

    As I struggle with events
    I'm offered words of strength
    They do not comprehend
    The passion we possessed

    People tell me what to do
    Tell me how I should get through
    But they haven't got a clue
    No-one else comes close to you

    I see your eyes before they closed
    They looked right inside my soul
    And they asked me not to grieve
    I tried but still I bleed

    I wake up, I break up
    I try hard to shake off
    The desolation as it grows
    As nothing else comes close

    And as I stand here by the grave
    And the wind calls out your name
    I know that time could never heal
    The emptiness I feel

    People try to give me hope
    Tell me how I should let go
    But they'll never really know
    'Cause there's nothing else comes close

    People tell me what to do
    Yell me how I should get through
    But they haven't got a clue
    No-one else comes close to you

    Anselmo Cabral; Zezé Di Camargo



    Onde a máquina me leva não há nada
    Horizontes e fronteiras são iguais
    Se agora tudo que eu mais quero já ficou pra trás
    Qualquer um que leva a vida nessa estrada
    Só precisa de uma sombra pra chegar
    A saudade vai batendo e o coração dispara

    Mas de repente a velocidade chora
    Não vejo a hora de voltar pra casa
    A luz do teu olhar no fim do túnel
    E no espelho a minha solidão
    O céu da ilusão que não se acaba
    A música do vento que não pára
    Será que a luz do meu destino vai te encontrar

    Vejo a manhã de sol entrando em casa
    Iluminando os gritos das crianças
    Os momentos mais bonitos na lembrança
    Não vão se apagar

    Ai quem me dera encontrar contigo agora
    E esquecer as curvas dessa estrada
    Eu prefiro sonhar com os rios
    E lavar minh’alma

    Alguém sentado à beira do caminho
    Jamais entenderá o que é que eu sinto agora
    Sou levado pelo movimento
    Que a tua falta faz
    Havia tanta paz no teu carinho
    Na despedida fez um dia lindo
    Quem sabe tudo estará sorrindo
    Quando eu voltar

    Composer(s): Charles Glover - Mordaunt Spencer
    Performer(s): Webster Booth
    and multiple other artists



    The pale moon was rising above the green mountain
    The sun was declining beneath the blue sea
    When I strayed with my love to the pure crystal fountain
    That stands in the beautiful vale of Tralee

    She was lovely and fair, as the rose of the summer
    Yet t'was not her beauty alone that won me
    Oh no, t'was the truth in her eyes ever dawning
    That made me love Mary, the Rose of Tralee!
    The cool shades of evening their mantle were spreading
    And Mary, all smiling, was listening to me
    The moon through the valley her pale rays was shedding
    When I won the heart of the Rose of Tralee

    Though lovely and fair, as the rose of the summer
    Yet t'was not her beauty alone that won me
    Oh no, t'was the truth in her eyes ever dawning
    That made me love Mary, the Rose of Tralee!

    Close to you, I will always stay
    Close to you, though you're far away

    You'll always be near as though you were here by my side
    No matter where - in my dreams I'll find you there
    Close to me, sharing you're caress
    Can't you see you're my happiness?

    Wherever you go, my heart will go, too
    What can I do?
    It only wants to be close to you
    Wherever you go, my heart will go, too
    What can I do?
    It only wants to be close to you
