You Don't Even Know My Name (aka The Soldier Song)
Composer(s): Sally Mudd
Performer(s): Sally Mudd
You got a call to leave today No long goodbyes You were instructed to be brave Soldier, dry your eyes You've got to leave your fam'ly behind So I can be with mine And you don't even know my name
I'm the man, I'm the babies I'm the little old ladies Who lay down their heads at night With peaceful dreams of a world to be 'Cause you're fighting for our lives And you don't even know my name
I think about you ev'ry day And what you're going through Are you cold, are you afraid Are you wonderin' why God chose you Will I ever be able to tell you how grateful I am for who you are When you don't even know my name
I'm the man, I'm the babies I'm the little old ladies Who lay down their heads at night With peaceful dreams of a world to be 'Cause you're fighting for our lives And you don't even know my name (Don't know my name, don't know my name) And you don't even know my name (Don't know my name, don't know my name)
I wanna say thank you, thank you, thank you Thank you, thank you, thank you I wanna say thank you, thank you, thank you Soldier

You Don't Bring Me Flowers Composer(s): Neil Diamond; Alan & Marilyn Bergman Performer(s): Neil Diamond; and various other artists
You don't bring me flowers You don't sing me love songs You hardly talk to me anymore When you come through the door At the end of the day
I remember when You couldn't wait to love me Used to hate to leave me Now after lovin' me late at night When it's good for you And you're feeling alright Well you just roll over And you turn out the light And you don't bring me flowers anymore
It used to be so natural To talk about forever But 'used to be's' don't count anymore They just lay on the floor 'Til we sweep them away
And baby, I remember All the things you taught me I learned how to laugh And I learned how to cry Well I learned how to love Even learned how to lie You'd think I could learn How to tell you goodbye 'Cause you don't bring me flowers anymore

Don't you think it's a little too late to show those tears Just look at the way you're treatin' me all these years I'm a full grown woman but you're treatin' me like a kid You didn't like my lovin' so I found someone that did

Far as I'm concerned you can turn and walk out that door Cause the way we'd made it don't make it with me no more Where your head used to lay there's another head there instead You didn't like my lovin' so I found someone that did
You didn't like my lovin' so I found someone that did And the one I found really made me flip my lid After all that's past I'm learnin' to live at last You didn't like my lovin' so I found someone that did
You didn't like my lovin' so I found someone that did

Lindy Lou and Jasper in the fields of sugar cane Down in Loosiana, Jasper was so love sick, that his heart was filled with pain For his Lindy Lou When the sun was shining bright He'd make love with all his might Lindy'd say: "You're acting like a loon Don't come fussin' 'round at noon Nighttime is the time to spoon Underneath the sugar moon"
Jasper says to Lindy: "Won't you be my lovin' bride?" Sugar moon am shinin' Lindy says "Uh huh", and cuddles closer to his side Wedding mighty soon Gwine to have a barbecue Gwine to roast an ox or two Possum pie 'simmon jam and coon Can't you hear the banjos ring Can't you hear Miss Lindy sing Underneath the sugar moon?
When the sugar moon am moonin' You can spoon and keep on spoonin' Croon a tune and keep on croonin' When you croon, croon a tune, that a coon can croon in June For I love to hear you hummin' And I dearly love to spoon But my lovin' coon, turtle dovin' coon Underneath the sugar moon

Sugar Mice Composer(s): Derek William Dick - Mark Kelly - Ian Mosley - Steve Rothery - Pete Trewavas Performer(s): Marillion; Chaneton; Fish
I was flicking through the channels on the tv On a sunday in milwaukee in the rain Trying to piece together conversations Trying to find out where to lay the blame
But when it comes right down to it there's no use trying to pretend For when it gets right down to it there's no one here that's left to blame Blame it on me, you can blame it on me We're just sugar mice in the rain
I heard sinatra calling me through the floorboards Where you pay a quarter for a partnership in rhyme To the jukebox crying in the corner While the waitress is counting out the time
For when it comes right down to it there's no use trying to pretend For when it gets right down to it there's no one really left to blame Blame it on me, you can blame it on me We're just sugar mice in the rain
'cause I know what I feel, know what I want I know what I am Daddy took a raincheck Cos I know what I want, know what I feel I know what I need Daddy took a raincheck, your daddy took a raincheck Ain't no one in here that's left to blame but me Blame it on me, blame it on me
Well the toughest thing that I ever did was talk to the kids on the phone When I heard them asking questions I knew that that you were all alone Can't you understand that the government left me out of work I just couldn't stand the looks on their faces saying, what a jerk
So if you want my address it's number one at the end of the bar Where I sit with the broken angels clutching at straws and nursing our scars Blame it on me, blame it on me Sugar mice in the rain Your daddy took a raincheck, your daddy took a raincheck
You Could've Heard A Heart Break Composer(s): Mark Rossi Performer(s): Johnny Lee
Behind the bar I see some crazy things I watch those disappearing wedding rings A telephone call pagin' so and so There he is shakin' his head no 'Cause he's got this girl hangin' all over him He can't quit now, he's gone out on a limb Then the place turns quiet as a mummy's tomb Guess who happened to walk in the room
You could've heard a heart break You could've heard a tear drop I feel so bad for her sake Now what's she gonna do The chances that a fool takes Never knowin' when to stop You could've heard a heart break Breakin' right in two
She walks on over Tears in her eyes And knows she's gonna hear a pack of lies The silence is deafening All eyes are on her What will she say to that innocent girl Her hands start shakin' 'Cause the words don't come She's in shock, her whole body is numb Everyone there is holdin' their breath With the slightest whisper, we'll know what she says
You could've heard a heart break You could've heard a tear drop I feel so bad for her sake Now what's she gonna do The chances that a fool takes Never knowin' when to stop You could've heard a heart break Breakin' right in two
You could've heard a heart break You could've heard a tear drop I feel so bad for her sake Now what's she gonna do The chances that a fool takes Never knowin' when to stop You could've heard a heart break Breakin' right in two

My ma will show you an album Of me that will bore you to tears! And you'll attract all the relatives We have dodged for years and years
And what'll they tell me? Exactly what'll they tell me? They'll say you couldn't be nicer, Couldn't be sweeter, couldn't be better Couldn't be smoother, couldn't be cuter Baby, than you are!
