Strong In Reason
Composer(s): Chris Difford - Glenn Tilbrook
Performer(s): Squeeze



You get your trunks out of the drawer
You see your self as once before
The empty box lies on the chair
Another steroid grease your hair
The sun ray lamp is put away
There is no reason to be afraid
So fix yourself into a shape
Your audience is half awake
The time has come to flex your back
Another day for you meat rack

Strong in vigour
Strong in arm
Strong with almost perfect charm
Strong in tension
Strong in strength
Strong in almost every sense

Out on the stage the lights are green
It's one step forward now you've been seen
The right arm up the left arm down
Open mouthed the vacant crowd
Your chest of wax flips like a coin
Into the rhythm into the join
The ladies in the comfortable seats
They look at you with eyes so deep
Don't take a bow because your get the sack
I'm pleased to slag you off meat rack

You Are My Love
Composer(s): Constantine Callinicos; Paul Francis Webster
Performer(s): Mario Lanza; Hank Jones



You are my love
you're the sun in my sky
You're the love song that I
will remember

You are my love
you're the warm, golden moon
you're the promise of June
in December

No other arms, no other lips, no other smile sets my heart afire
No other dream, no other sighs, no
other kiss burns with such desire

You are my love, till the oceans run dry, till the stars in the sky fail to shine

You'll always be - my love to me
So tell me you'll always be mine!

Strong Enough To Bend
Composer(s): Beth Nielsen Chapman - Don Schlitz
Performer(s): Tanya Tucker
and multiple other artists



There's a tree out in the backyard
That never has been broken by the wind
And the reason its still standing
It was strong enough to bend

For years, we have stayed together
As lovers and as friends
What we have will last forever
If we're strong enough to bend

When you say something that you can't take back
Big wind blows and you hear a little crack
When you say "Hey well I might be wrong"
You can sway with the wind till the storm is gone
Sway with the wind till the storm is gone

Like a tree out in the backyard
That never has been broken by the wind
Our love will last forever
If we're strong enough to bend

When you start thinkin' that you know it all
Big wind blows and a branch will fall
When you say "Hey this job takes two"
We can sway with the wind till the skies turn blue
Sway with the wind till the skies turn blue

Like a tree out in the backyard
That never has been broken by the wind
Our love will last forever if we're strong enough to bend
Our love will last forever if we're strong enough to bend

You Are My Love
Performer(s): Liverpool Express



You are my love 
You are the one that I adore 
You are my love 
You are what I have waited for
Oh, you are my love 
Oh, you are my love 
Oh, you are my love

You change my winter into spring 
You came my way 
And then my heart began to sing 
Oh, you are my love 
Oh, you are my love 
Oh, you are my love

Strong Enough
Composer(s): Paul Barry - Mark Taylor
Performer(s): Cher



I don't need your sympathy 
There's nothing you can say or do for me 
And I don't want a miracle 
You'll never change for no one 
I hear you reasons why 
Where did you sleep last night? 
And was she worth it, was she worth it? 

Now I'm strong enough to live without you 
Strong enough and I quit crying long enough 
Now I'm strong enough to know you gotta go 
There's no more to say 
So save your breath 
And then walk away 
No matter what I hear you say 
I'm strong enough to know you gotta go 

So you feel misunderstood 
Baby, have I got news for you 
One being used, I could write the book 
But you don't wanna hear about it 

I've been losing sleep 
You've been going cheap 
She ain't worth half of me it's true 
Now I'm telling you 

That I'm strong enough to live without you 
Strong enough and I quit crying long enough 
Now I'm strong enough to know you've gotta go 

Come hell or waters high 
You'll never see me cry 
This is our last goodbye, it's true 

I'm telling you 

Now I'm strong enough to live without you 
Strong enough and I quit crying long enough 
Now I'm strong enough to know you gotta go 
There's no more to say 
So save your breath 
And then walk away 
No matter what I hear you say 
I'm strong enough to know you gotta go

You Are My First Love
Composer(s): Bobby Powell; C.L. Roberts
Performer(s): Nat King Cole; Ruby Murray



You are my first love
My first and last love
We'll make this love last forever

We'll prove a love as
Young as spring keeps growing
Even though the chill
November winds keep blowing

We'll show that two hearts
Two young but true hearts
Can do what few hearts
Have done before

Til the sun grows cold
Til time stands still
We'll feel the magic thrill
Of our first love

Strong As Steel
Performer(s): Gladys Knight & The Pips



We've been so close to each other
Can't think of a moment that you weren't there
We've been through so much together
Can't think of a feeling that we haven't shared

Ooh, how many lovers
Ever find the kind of love that we haven't got?
Ooh, and many others
`Cause you know what we got is a rare thing
Ooh, it's everlasting

This love is as strong as steel
Can't break it up or break it down
It's always gonna be around
This love is a love that's real
It's as deep as any ocean goes
It's gonna last, don't you know?
This love's strong as steel

I want to tell you...Oh baby

We've been right here for each other
Even through the times when times were hard for us
Any rain we came through shining
Oh, I knew we'd make it all it takes is trust

Ooh, and now there's nothing
That could ever come between me and you
Oh, baby…Ooh, our love is one thing
That just keeps on getting better
The more that we're together

This love is as strong as steel
Can't break it up or break it down
It's always gonna be around
This love is a love that's real
It's as deep as any ocean goes
It's gonna last, don't you know?
This love's strong as steel

Oh-oh, there ain't no raging river
Gonna sweep this love away
Gonna stand together heart to heart
Nothing's gonna tear this love apart…this ove

This love's strong…as steel
This love's strong as steel
Break it up or break it down
It's always gonna be around
This love is a love that's real
It's as deep as any ocean goes
It's gonna last, don't you know?
This love, strong as steel
Strong as steel now, baby
Strong as steel now, darlin'
This love (I want to tell you)
It's as deep as any ocean goes
It's gonna last, don't you know?
This love (it's as) strong as steel

Can't break it up or break it down
It's always gonna be around

Strolling
Performer(s): Flanagan & Allen



Strolling, just strolling
In the cool of the evening air
I don't envy the rich in their automobiles
For a motor car is phoney
I'd rather have Shanks's pony
When I'm strolling, just strolling
With the light of the moon above
Ev'ry night I go out strolling
And I know my luck is rolling 
When I'm strolling with the one I love

Strolling, just strolling
In the cool of the evening air
Ev'ry man and his dog keeps on walking for miles 
And we don't care who tramps most
But they can never pass one lamp post
When they're strolling, just strolling
In the light of the moon above 
Though we might think we're good planners
But the blighters won't learn manners
Though they're strolling with the ones they love

You Are Love
Composer(s): Jerome Kern; Oscar Hammerstein
Performer(s): Frank Sinatra;
and various other artists



Once a wandering ne'er-do-well
Just a vagrant roaming fellow
I went my way
Life was just a joke to tell
Like a lonely Punchinello
My role was gay
But I knew the joke was aimless
Time went on, I liked the game less
For you see
Somewhere lurked a spark divine
And I kept wondering whether mine
Would come to me.

Then my fortune turned and I found you
Here you are with my arms around you
You will never know what you meant to me
You're the prize that heaven has sent to me
Here's a bright and beautiful world anew
Wrapped up in you

You are love
Here in my arms
Where you belong
And here you will stay
I'll not let you away
I want day after day with you

You are spring
Bud of romance unfurl'd
You taught me to see
One truth forever true

You are love
Wonder of all the world
Where you go with me
Heaven will always be!

You are love
Here in my arms
Where you belong
And here you will stay
I'll not let you away
I want day after day with you

You are spring
Bud of romance unfurl'd
You taught me to see
One truth forever true

You are love
Wonder of all the world.
Where you go with me
Heaven will always be!

Stroll On

Performer(s): The Yardbirds



Strollin' on
'Cos it's all gone
The reason why
You made me cry
By tellin' me
You didn't see
The future bore
Our love no more
If you want to know
I love you so
And I don't want to let you go

I'm strollin' on
Gonna make you see
I'm strollin' on
You'll find you really love me
I'm strollin' on
Be your turn to cry
I'm strollin' on
You wish you'd never lied
You're going to change your mind
But you ain't gonna find
Any more of my kind

I'm strollin' on
'Cos it's all gone
The reason why
You made me cry
By tellin' me
You didn't see
The future bore
Our lovin' no more
If you want to know
I love you so
I don't want to let you go

I'm strollin' on
Gonna make you see
I'm strollin' on
You'll find you really love me
I'm strollin' on
Be your turn to cry
I'm strollin' on
You wish you'd never lied
You're going to change your mind
But you ain't gonna find
Any more of my kind

You Are For Loving
Composer(s): Ralph Blane; Hugh Martin
Performer(s): Liza Minnelli;
Michael Feinstein; Audrey Morris



When we met, the spring was nearly summer
The lilacs were in blossom, I recall
Later on, with summer nearly autumn

I knew I'd fallen long before the fall
Autumn has turned into winter
So spring can't be very far away
And I have learned a head can be turned
In a year, in a month, in a day
Songs are for singing
Bouquets are for bringing
Hopes are for clinging to
Wheels of fortune are for spinning

And games are for winning
Tunes are for humming
Guitars are for strumming
Dreams are for coming true
And you are for loving
And loving, and loving, and loving
By someone just as wonderful as you
Which makes me wonder if I'll do

Strokin'
Composer(s): Clarence Carter
Performer(s): Clarence Carter; Vas-tie Jackson; Poonanny



When I start makin´ love 
I don´t just make love... 
I be strokin´ 
That´s what I be doin´, huh 
I be strokin´ 
I stroke it to the east 
And I stroke it to the west 
And I stroke it to the woman that I love the best 
I be strokin´ 
Let me ask you somethin´... 
What time of the day do you like to make love 
Have you ever made love just before breakfast 
Have you ever made love while you watched the late, late show 
Well, let me ask you this 
Have you ever made love on a couch 
Well, let me ask you this 
Have you ever made love on the back seat of a car 
I remember one time I made love on the back seat of a car 
And the police came and shined his light on me, and I said: 
´I´m strokin´, that´s what I´m doin´, I be strokin´´ 
I stroke it to the east 
And I stroke it to the west 
And I stroke it to the woman that I love the best 
I be strokin´ 
Let me ask you something... 
How long has it been since you made love, huh? 
Did you make love yesterday 
Did you make love last week 
Did you make love last year 
Or maybe it might be that you plannin´ on makin´ love tonight 
But just remember, when you start making love 
You make it hard, long, soft, short 
And be strokin´ 
I be strokin´ 
I stroke it to the east 
And I stroke it to the west 
And I stroke it to the woman that I love the best, huh 
I be strokin´ 
Now when I start making love to my woman 
I don´t stop until I know she´s sas-ified 
And I can always tell when she gets sas-ified 
´Cause when she gets sas-fied she start calling my name 
She´d say: ´Clarence Carter, Clarence Carter, Clarence Carter 
Clarence Carter, ooooh shit, Clarence Carter´ 
The other night I was strokin´ my woman 
And it got so good to her, you know what she told me 
Let me tell you what she told me, she said: 
´Stroke it Clarence Carter, but don´t stroke so fast 
If my stuff ain´t tight enough, you can stick it up my...´ WOO! 
I be strokin´ Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! 
I be strokin´ 
I stroke it to the east 
And I stroke it to the west 
And I stroke it to the woman that I love the best, huh 
I be strokin´ 
I be strokin´ Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! 
I be strokin´, Yeah! 
I be strokin´ 
I stroke it to the north 
I stroke it to the south 
I stroke it everywhere 
I even stroke it with my... Woo! 
I be strokin´ 
I be strokin´ Ha! Ha! 
I be strokin´

You Are Everything
Composer(s): Thom Bell; Linda Creed
Performer(s): Rod Stewart



Today I saw somebody who looked just like you
She walked like you do I thought it was you
As she turned the corner I called out your name
I felt so ashamed but it wasn't you, wasn't you
You are everything and everything is you
You are everything and everything is you
Oh you are everything and everything is you

How can I forget when each face that I see
brings back memories of being with you
I just can't go on livin' life as I do
comparing each girl to you
knowing they just won't do, they're not you

You are everything
Everything is you
You're everything to me girl
I miss you baby
Everything is you

You are everything
Every little thing
You're all I've got
Girl, you're everything to me
You are everything and everything is you
Everything to me

Stroker's Theme
Composer(s): Charlie Daniels
Performer(s): The Charlie Daniels Band



Stroker Ace was born to race 
He had a mean streak ten feet wide 
A son of a gun with a taste for fun 
And more than his share of pride 
Take a dirt road curve with the Devil's nerve 
And make a car dance across the mud 
Haulin' shine was his regular line 
'Til the track got in his blood 

He was a real hot shot and he bragged a lot 
But man, that fool could drive 
Cause he loved the feel of a steering wheel and the girls with the bedroom eyes 
And in a racing tight or a bar room fight 
Old Stroker stole the show 
A back street blazer and a real hell raiser and a racetrack Romeo 

Mama lock your daughters up that wild bunch is back in town 
And them little girls get frisky when they hear that racecar sound 
They bringin out the yellow flag, somebody's brakes have failed 
There's an oilslick on the inside and a wreck along the rail 
You better stand on it, Stroker, cause a bandit's on your tail. 

It's a downright joy for a country boy 
When he hears them engines moan 
But you gotta hang tough and it gets real rough 
When you're out there on your own 
Cause they'll push you around, they'll knock you down 
When you're up there against the wall 
And you always know when an engine blows 
That a man can't win 'em all 
You could push that car just a little too far any Sunday afternoon 
And if you break your neck in some d*** fool's wreck they'd forget about you soon 
But old Stroker Ace was born to race and it's worth all the trying 
Just to drink champagne in the Victory Lane and to hear that concrete whine 

Stroker get your dander up this ain't no time to lag 
You've got to make a lap up if you want to take that checkered flag 
Number ten is closin' in to even up the score 
It's time to wave bye-bye and put the pedal on the floor 
You better stand on it Stroker cause you're blowin' off their doors. 

Blow their doors off, Stroker 
Stand on it, Son 
Ah, you good lookin' devil, you

You Are Beautiful
Composer(s): Oscar Hammerstein II; Richard Rodgers
Performer(s): Johnny Mathis;
and various other artists



You are beautiful, small, and shy
You are the girl whose eyes met mine just as your boat sailed by
This I know of you, nothing more
You are the girl whose eyes met mine passing the river shore

You are the girl whose laugh I heard
Silver and soft and bright
Soft as the fall of lotus leaves
Brushing the air of night

While your flower boat sailed away
Gently your eyes looked back on mine
Clearly you heard me say
"You are the girl I will love some day"

While your flower boat sailed away
Gently your eyes looked back on mine
Clearly you heard me say
"You are the girl I will love some day"

Stroke Of Genius
Composer(s): Tim Mosher - Fred Schneider
Performer(s): Fred Schneider & Six Finger Satellite



Where's your spirit, baby?
Is it in your room?
The aura of lemon yellow
Will be gone soon

There's nothing I can do
No, there's nothing I can do
I just need to concentrate
Sort my feelings
Keep them straight

Stroke of genius
I'm a liar
Emotions surface
I perspire
Stroke of genius
You're the liar
Emotions surface
I'm so tired
Emotions surface
I'm so tired

Love is just for dreamers
When it seems so true
My words are too contained
And there's nothing I can do

Coffee on my garden
Flowers grow higher
Candles on the lawn
Start a forest fire
Coffee on my garden
Flowers grow higher
Candles on the lawn
Start a forest fire
Candles on the lawn
Start a forest fire

Stroke of genius
I'm a liar
Emotions surface
I perspire
Stroke of genius
You're the liar
Emotions surface
I'm so tired
Emotions surface
I'm so tired

Where's your spirit, baby?
Was it smoke and air?
Everything's off balance
What gave you such a scare?

No, there's nothing I can do
I just need to concentrate
Sort my feelings
Keep them straight

Coffee on my garden
Flowers grow higher
Candles on the lawn
Start a forest fire
Coffee on my garden
Flowers grow higher
Candles on the lawn
Start a forest fire
Coffee on my garden
Flowers grow higher
Candles on the lawn
Start a forest fire
Candles on the lawn
Start a forest fire

You Are

Baby you'll find
There's only one love
Yours and mine
I've got so much love

And needing you so
My love for you
I'll never let go
I've got so much love

All I want is to hold you
Let me show how much I love you baby (Show you)
I don't mind and I don't mind (Loving you)
Girl I love you
There's no one above you

(Chorus)
You are the sun
You are the rain
That makes my life this foolish game
You need to know
I love you so
And I'd do it all again and again

Tell me it's true
I can't believe you do what you do
I've got so much love
And my love you'll see
We'll stay together, just you and me
I've got so much love

Only you (know me)
Tell me how to love you baby (show me)
I don't mind and I don't mind (tell me)
Girl, I love you
Always thinking of you

(Chorus)
You are the sun
You are the rain
That makes my life this foolish game
You need to know
I love you so
And I'd do it all again and again

I know you know the way I feel
And I need your love for always
Cause when I'm with you 
I fall in love
Again and again and again, Baby

(Repeat Chorus)

Strip Polka
Composer(s): Johnny Mercer
Performer(s): The Andrews Sisters
and multiple other artists



There's a burlesque theatre where the gang loves to go
To see Queenie the cutie of the burlesque show
And the thrill of the evening is when out Queenie skips
And the band plays the polka while she strips

"Take it off," "Take it off" Cries a voice from the rear
"Take it off," Take it off" Soon it's all you can hear
But she's always a lady even in pantomime
So she stops! And always just in time

She's as fresh and as wholesome as the flowers in May
And she hopes to retire to the farm someday
But you can't buy a farm until you're up in the chips
So the band plays the polka while she strips

"Take it off," "Take it off" all the customers shout,
"Down in front" "Down in front" while the band beats it out
But she's always a lady even in pantomime
So she stops! And always just in time

Queenie, Queen of them all
Queenie, someday you'll fall
Someday church bells will chime
In strip polka time

Oh! She hates corny waltzes and she hates the gavotte
And there's one big advantage if the music's hot
It's a fast moving exit just in case something rips
So the band plays the polka while she strips

Drop around, take it in, it's the best in the west
"Take it off," "Take it off" you can yell like the rest
Take her out when it's over, she's a peach when she's dressed
But she stops! And always just in time

Queenie, Queen of them all
Queenie, someday you'll fall
Someday church bells will chime
In strip polka time

You Angel You

Alpha Band; Bob Dylan; The New Riders Of The Purple Sage



You angel you
You got me under your wing
And the way you walk
And the way you talk
Feel I could almost sing

You angel you
You're as fine as ev'rything's fine
Though I just walk
And I watch you talk
Your memory's on my mind

Even though I can't sleep at night for trying
Well I never did feel this way before
Never did get up and walk the floor
If this is love then give me more
and more and more
and more and more

You angel you
You're as fine as fine can be
And the way you walk
And the way you talk
Is the way it ought to be

You angel you
