I'm Gonna Get Lit Up (When The Lights Go On In London)
Composer(s): Hubert Gregg
Performer(s): Carroll Gibbons; Joe Loss & His Orch.



I'm gonna get lit up when the light go up in London
I'm gonna get lit up as I've never been before
You will find me on the tiles
You will find me wreathed in smiles
I'm gonna get so lit up I'll be visible for miles
The city will sit up when the lights go up in London
We'll all be lit up as the Strand was only more, much more
And before the plot is played out
They will fetch the fire brigade out
To the lit-est up-est scene you ever saw

Every Breath I Take

Performer(s): Gene Pitney;
Barry Holdship; Gene Miller



(dip-dip, dooba bop bop) (dip-dip, dooba bop bop)
I hardly ever thank the stars above
For sending me your very precious love
You never hear me say a prayer
Of thanks to someone 'way up there
Who gave me such a lucky *break*

Oh, no, darling
Only with ev'ry breath I take

And every time we have to be apart
I hardly ever find you in my heart
And when it comes to thinking of
The thought of losing all your love
I never worry how my heart would ache

Oh, no, darling
Only with ev'ry breath I *take*
Only with ev'ry little step I *make*
Only with ev'ry little beat of my *heart*
And ev'ry single minute I'm *awake*

Oh, no, darling
Only with ev'ry breath I *take*
Only with ev'ry little step I *make*
Only with ev'ry little beat of my *heart*
And ev'ry single minute I'm awake

Oh-aah, ev'ry little breath I take
Ev'ry little step I *make*
Ah, ah, ah, ah, uh, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ev'ry breath I take

(dip-dip, dooba bop bop) (dip-dip, dooba bop bop)

I'm Gonna File My Claim
Composer(s): Ken Darby; Lionel Newman
Performer(s): Marilyn Monroe; Twentieth Century Fox Orch.



I've looked around the country and I've seen it all
and what I want I'm ready to name
It's big and strong and handsome and it's 6 feet tall
I'm gonna file my claim
I've struck a real bonanza and he's rough and rash
but what he's got I'm ready to tame
He's worth a fancy fortune but it's not in cash
I'm gonna file my claim!
I got the fever, ooh, the fever, but not for gold in the ground
I want the title to something vital that I can throw my fences around
A girl should never hustle with a pick and pan to dig for gold
that isn't her game
I'll find the man who found it then I'll get that man
who's gonna help me file my claim?
I'm gonna file my claim
Ooh, looking for nuggets? 
Ooh, mush!
A, B, C, D, who's gonna file me under love?
There ain't a man, not a single man!
There ain't a man alive who wouldn't trade his gold
for what it takes to stay in the game
So have you fun and spend before you get too old
Who's gonna help me file my claim?
Who's gonna help me, help, help me
who's gonna help me file my claim ... tonight

Every Beat Of My Heart
Composer(s): Johnny Otis

With every beat of my heart
There's a beat for you
In every toast of wine
There's a toast for you, oh, yes, it is

In all of my, my conversation
Your my, my inspiration
And everything I do
I do for you

Although we're, we're so far apart
My, my love is true, so true, true
In every, in every, every beat of my heart
There's a beat for you

(With every beat of my heart)

Never could believe the things you do to me
Never could believe the way you are
Every day I bless the day that you got through to me

I’m gonna clap my hands, I’m gonna snap my fingers

Eversleep
Composer(s): Richard Gibbs; Loudon Wainwright III
Performer(s): Loudon Wainwright III



I'd rather be dreaming than living
Living's just too hard to do
It's chances not choices
Noises not voices
A day's just a thing to get through
Living's just too hard to do

I'd rather be dreaming than talking
There's nothing to hear or to say
With ears covered, mouth closed
The world is opposed
Nothing gets in or away
There's nothing to hear ot to say

I'd rather be dreaming than thinking
Thoughts are small comfort to me
Dreams might be pretend
But at least dreams end
And I just can't stop thinking, you see
Thoughts are small comfort to me

I'd rather be dreaming than sleeping
Just sleeping you're just as well dead
In dreams I can fly, in dreams I don't die
That's why I lie here in this bed
Just sleeping you're just as well dead

I'd rather be dreaming... 

I'm Gonna Change The World
Composer(s): Eric Burdon

There's one thing I've got to say
There's got to be some changes made
No more black or white
No more left or right
I'm gonna change the world, baby
I'm gonna change the world, yeah!
I'll switch the wrong to right (her on to right ?)
You can bet your life, baby, bet your life

Hold you far (cool your fire ?) and listen mister
Don't cause no trouble for my brother and sister
Why don't you look me in the face
Either that or leave my place
I'm gonna change the world, baby
I'm gonna change the world, waah yeah!
I'll switch the wrong to right (her on to right ?)
You can bet your life, baby, bet your life, my life yeah!

Forget about what your folks told you
Make up your mind just what you wanna do
Just accept people for what they are
Or this old world won't get very far
I'm gonna change the world, baby
I'm gonna change the world, oh yeah!
I'll switch the wrong to right (her on to right ?)
You can bet your life, bet your life

You can bet your life, just bet your life
Well (..?)
There's gotta be some changes made
I'm gonna change this world
I'm gonna change this world, waah yeah

Everlovin' Woman
Composer(s): J.J. Cale
Performer(s): J.J. Cale; Georgie Fame



I've got a woman, I love her, lordy lord
She cooks my breakfast on Sunday, just like my ma
I hang my hat in her house, she don't charge a dime
Love me, trust me, never cuss me, you know she's mine
I'm talking 'bout, I'm talking 'bout, I'm talking in rhyme
I'm talking 'bout that everlovin' woman of mine
Oh, when I'm gone you know she don't hang around
And when I'm gone you know she don't follow me down
She keeps the night-light burning, lord, she waits for me
Taking care of business, lord, she's taking care of me
I'm talking 'bout, I'm talking 'bout, I'm talking in rhyme
I'm talking 'bout that everlovin' woman of mine
She'd have me do it if I'd do it at all
You know I love her, do I love her, lordy-lord
I hang my hat in her house, honey, she don't charge a dime
Taking care of business, she's taking care of business of mine
I'm talking 'bout, I'm talking in rhyme
I'm talking 'bout that everlovin' woman of mine

Yeah, I'm gonna change everything
That holds a memory of you 
Oh! Yeah

Move the chairs around, take the window curtains down and burn 'em
Everything I see, reminds me you were here
Yeah, I'm gonna change everything that holds a memory of you

Take the carpet off the floor, throw it out the door, it's filled with tears

Oh! Yeah, Mmm

Everlasting Love

Performer(s): Love Affair;
and various other artists



Hearts gone astray, keeping up when they go 
I went away, just when you, you need me so 
You won't regret, I'll come back begging you 
Don't you forget, welcome love we once knew 

Open up your eyes, then you'll realize 
Here I stand with my, everlasting love 
Need you by my side, girl to be my pride 
You'll never be denied, everlasting love 
From the very start, open up your heart 
Be a lasting part of everlasting love 

Real love to last forever 
Real love to last forever 

Where life really flows, no one really knows 
Till someone's there to show the way to lasting love 
Like the sun it shines, endlessly it shines 
You always will be mine, with eternal love 
Whenever love went wrong, ours would still be strong 
We'd have our very own, everlasting love 

Real love to last forever 
Real love to last forever 

Open up your eyes, then you'll realize 
Here I stand with my, everlasting love 
Need you by my side, girl to be my pride 
You'll never be denied, everlasting love 
From the very start, open up your heart 
Be a lasting part of everlasting love 
Whenever love went wrong, ours would still be strong 
We'd have our very own, everlasting love

I'm Gonna Be Warm This Winter
Composer(s): Mark Barkan; Hank Hunter
Performer(s): Connie Francis



We met at a ski lodge, and we fell in love...

Right by a fireplace
We shared our first embrace
And then inside my heart
I felt a fire start
It's gonna snow outside -- the weather will be cold
But I'm gonna be warm this winter! Uh-huh-huh!

Each time your lips touch mine
They taste like sparkling wine
I feel so warm a glow
Just 'cause I love you so
It's cozy in your arms, I'm yours to have and to hold
And I'm gonna be warm this winter!

Ice skating on a frozen lake
Sleigh-riding down a mountainside
Roasting popcorn, dancing till the dawn
That was how I knew love was born-born-born-born

It's just like make-believe
Each night is New Year's Eve
Each day is Christmas Day
You make me feel this way
It's gonna snow outside -- the weather will be cold
But I'm gonna be warm this winter!

It's gonna snow outside -- the weather will be cold
But I'm gonna be warm this winter!
Whoa, whoa, whoa, honey, make me warm this winter!
Mmmm, baby, make me warm this winter!
Whoa, whoa, whoa, I'll be warm this winter!

Ever-Grumbling Joe
Composer(s): A.S. Gatty; Terry Kluytmans



He didn't like chicken
He didn't like bread
He didn't like anything
Anyone said
He didn't like mornings
Or going to bed
Didn't Grumbling
Ever-grumbling Joe

He didn't like toys
Or his big sister Jayne
He didn't like travelling
By bus or by train
He didn't like sunshine
He didn't like rain
Didn't Grumbling
Ever-grumbling Joe

He didn't like school
And he didn't like fun
He didn't like walking
There's no way he'd run!
He never would listen
Not to anyone!
No, not Grumbling
Ever-grumbling Joe

Well, Joe's Mom and Dad
They soon had quite enough
Of little Joe's grumbling
And so they got tough
They started to take away
All of his stuff!
That cured Grumbling
Ever-grumbling Joe!

And now he likes chicken
He even likes Jayne!
He plays in the sunshine
He reads in the rain
He runs for the paper
He rides on the train
No more Grumbling
Ever-grumbling Joe!

I'm Gonna Be Strong
Composer(s): Barry Mann; Cynthia Weil
Performer(s): Gene Pitney
and multiple other artists



I can see you're slipping away from me
And you're so afraid I'll plead with you to stay
But I'm gonna be strong and let you go your way

Our love is gone, there's no sense in holding on
'Cause your pity now would be too much to bear
So I'm gonna be strong and pretend I don't care

I'm gonna be strong and stand as tall as I can
Yes, I'm gonna be strong and let you run along and take it like a man
When you say it's the end I'll just hand you a line
I'll smile and say "Don't you worry, I'm fine"
And you'll never know, darling, after you kiss me goodbye
How I'll break down and cryeye-eye-eye

Evergreen
Composer(s): Paul Williams; Barbra Streisand
Performer(s): Barbra Streisand



Love, soft as an easy chair
Love, fresh as the morning air
One love that is shared by two
I have found with you
Like a rose under the April snow
I was always certain love would grow
Love, ageless and evergreen
Seldom seen by two
You and I will
make each night the first
Everyday a beginning
Spirits rise and their dance is unrehearsed
They warm and excite us
'Cause we have the brightest love
Two lights that shine as one Morning glory and midnight sun
Time, we've learned to sail above
Time, won't change the meaning of one love
Ageless and ever evergreen

Composer(s): Jesse Ashlock; Bob Wills
Performer(s): Bob Wills & His Texas Playboys



The worst thing I did was when I married you
You’re givin’ me a bad time and you won’t be true
Better heed my warnin’ woman, this can’t go on
I’m Gonna Be Boss from Now on
If you ever told the truth you would apologize
I know that you’ve been callin’ up other guys
Shut your big mouth and get away from that phone
I’m Gonna Be Boss From Now On

You’re half lazy and the other half mean
You never make the bed and kitchen ain’t clean
Make up that bed woman get in that kitchen where you belong
I’m Gonna Be Boss from Now On
I can’t love you woman, ‘cause your heart ain’t clean
You’re the trifl’nest woman that I’ve ever seen
Your time’s up baby and you’d better get gone
I’m Gonna Be Boss from Now On

Otis Redding
Composer(s): Everclear; Art Alexakis
Performer(s): Everclear



Do you remember when we were hungry? 
Do you remember when we were cold? 
Do you remember when we were happy? 
Do you remember? Do you remember? 

Do you remember when we were lucky? 
We were livin' the life almost every night 
I would wrap you in my thin white arms 
Sit and watch the stars glide 

Yeah, do you remember when we were the losers? 
Do you remember when we were the lame? 
Do you remember when we were the lepers? 
Do you remember? Do you remember? 

Do you remember when we were strung out? 
Eatin' top ramen, macaroni and cheese 
We would get so lost in that basement room 
Let the Otis Redding sing us to sleep 
I wish I had one more life 

I don't wanna be wasted 
I don't wanna live inside this daydream anymore 
I just wanna be happy again 
I don't wanna be wasted, I dont wanna be blind 

I don't wanna be wasted 
I don't wanna live inside this daydream anymore 
I just wanna be happy again 
I don't wanna be wasted, I don't wanna be (blind) 
I don't wanna be wasted, I don't wanna be (blind) 
I don't wanna be wasted, I don't wanna be blind 

I wish I could be like all my heroes 
I wish I could be like all yours too 
I wish I could sing like Otis Redding 
I wish I could play this guitar in tune 

Do you remember when we were hungry? 
Do you remember when we were cold? 
Do you remember when we were happy in a way 
No one outside could ever know? 
I wish I had one more life 
How I wish I had one more life to live 

I don't wanna be wasted 
I don't wanna live inside of this daydream anymore 
I just wanna be happy again 
I don't wanna be wasted, I don't wanna be (blind) 

I don't wanna be wasted 
No, I don't wanna live inside of this daydream anymore 
I just wanna be happy again 
I dont wanna be wasted, I don't wanna be 
I dont wanna be wasted, I don't wanna be 
I dont wanna be wasted, I don't wanna be blind 
No, I don't want to be blind 
No, I don't want to be blind

I'm Gonna Be A Wheel Someday 
Composer(s): Fats Domino; Dave Bartholomew; Roy Hayes
First release by: Bobby Mitchell & The Toppers - 1957
Covered by multiple other artists



I'm gonna be a wheel someday, I'm gonna be somebody
I'm gonna be a real gone cat, then I won't want you
Everything's gonna go my way, and I won't need nobody
I'm gonna be a real gone cat, then I won't want you

You will cry, you will cry
You'll be wondering why I don't look at you when I go strolling by
I'm gonna be a wheel one day, I'm gonna be somebody
I'm gonna be a real gone cat, then I won't want you

I'm gonna be a wheel one day, I'm gonna be somebody
I'm gonna be a real gone cat, then I won't want you
Everything's gonna go my way, and I won't need nobody
I'm gonna be a real gone cat, then I won't want you

You will cry, you will cry
You'll be wondering why I don't look at you when I go strolling by
I'm gonna be a wheel one day, I'm gonna be somebody
I'm gonna be a real gone cat, then I won't want you

Ever Since The World Began
Composer(s): Chris Dreja; Jim McCarty;
Jeff Beck; Keith Relf; Paul Samwell-Smith
Performer(s): The Yardbirds



Ever since the world began
Satan's followed every man
Trapping evil if he can
I tell you now his greatest plan
Invented when I cannot tell
Defied the thoughts of man so well
Man wants money for his need
But soon it sows it's evil seed
Unhappiness it only brings
As man wants more and better things
If not enough the evil lies
But soon you'll find somebody dies
Throughout the years there have been wars
Power and richness have been the cause
Trapped in money's evil net
Man wants more than he can get
You don't need money
No, no, no, no
You don't need money
No, no, no, no
You don't need money
... etc.
It'll never bring you love
No more than the sun above
You'll never see the end
The money you will surely spend
But ask for help if you sin
Reclaim yourself, what a state you're in
The devil has you in his grasp
There ain't no mercy you can ask
More and more you will need
You're strangled in the clutch of greed
You can't get out, no place to go
You sold your soul - the answer's no!
