    Into The Valley
    Composer(s): Stuart Adamson; Richard Jobson
    First release by: The Skids - 1979
    Covered by multiple other artists



    Into the Valley
    Betrothed and divine
    Realisations no virtue
    But who can define
    Why soldiers go marching
    Those masses a line
    This disease is catching
    From victory to stone

    Ahoy! Ahoy! Land, sea and sky
    Ahoy! Ahoy! Boy, man and soldier
    Ahoy! Ahoy! Deceived and then punctured
    Ahoy! Ahoy! Long may they die

    Out of concealment
    Blank and stark eyed
    Why so uncertain
    This culture deceives
    Prophesised, brainwashed
    Tomorrow's demise
    All systems failing
    The placards unroll

    Ahoy! Ahoy! Land, sea and sky
    Ahoy! Ahoy! Boy, man and soldier
    Ahoy! Ahoy! Deceived and then punctured
    Ahoy! Ahoy! Long may they die

    Time for the audit
    The gathering trial
    A collectors dilemma
    Repositioned and filed

    New Orleans
    Composer(s): Frank Guida; Joseph Royster
    Performer(s): Gary "U.S." Bonds



    Come on everybody take a trip with me
    Down the Mississippi down to New Orleans
    The honey suckle is bloomin on the honeysuckle vine
    And love is blomin there all the time
    Every Southern elle is a Mississippi queen
    Down the Mississippi down in New Orleans
    Come on take a stroll down to Basin Street
    And listen to the music with the Dixieland beat
    The magnolia bloosoms fills the air
    If you ain't been to heaven, then you ain't been there
    French moss hangin' from a big oak tree
    Down the Mississippi down in New Orleans
    Come on everybody take a trip with me
    Down the Mississippi down to New Orleans
    The honey suckle is bloomin on the honeysuckle vine
    And love is blomin there all the time
    Every Southern elle is a Mississippi queen
    Down the Mississippi down in New Orleans

    Into The Mystic
    Composer(s): Van Morrison
    First release by: Van Morrison - 1970
    Covered by multiple other artists



    We were born before the wind
    Also younger than the sun
    Ere the bonnie boat was won as we sailed into the mystic
    Hark, now hear the sailors cry
    Smell the sea and feel the sky
    Let your soul and spirit fly into the mystic

    And when that fog horn blows I will be coming home
    And when the fog horn blows I want to hear it
    I don't have to fear it

    And I want to rock your gypsy soul
    Just like way back in the days of old
    And magnificently we will flow into the mystic

    When that fog horn blows you know I will be coming home
    And when that fog horn whistle blows I got to hear it
    I don't have to fear it

    And I want to rock your gypsy soul
    Just like way back in the days of old
    And together we will flow into the mystic
    Come on girl...

    Too late to stop now...

    New Orleans

    (Y'all come down to New Orleans)
    (Y'all come down to New Orleans)

    Y'all come down to New Orleans
    To the city where the king is the blues
    Y'all come down to New Orleans
    Where the rhythm travels down to your shoes

    Jambalaya and potato pies
    Creole babies with their pretty eyes
    You'll find them there in New Orleans
    They got 'em there in New Orleans

    They learn from their Mammy and Pappy
    To dance till the break of the day
    Folks there know the way to be happy
    A-let me tell ya, now what do you say

    Y'all come down to New Orleans
    To the city where the king is the blues
    Y'all come down to New Orleans
    Where the rhythm travels down to your shoes

    Well, the shrimp boats are comin' up the Mississip'
    Uh-huh-huh, pack your bags, c'mon and make the trip
    'Cause when you get to New Orleans
    You'll like it there in New Orleans

    (Instrumental Break)

    They learn from their Mammy and Pappy

    New Math
    Composer(s): Tom Lehrer
    Performer(s): Tom Lehrer



    Some of you who have small children
    may have perhaps been put in the embarrassing position
    of being unable to do your child's arithmetic homework
    because of the current revolution in mathematics teaching
    known as the New Math
    So as a public service here tonight
    I thought I would offer a brief lesson in the New Math
    Tonight, we're gonna cover subtraction

    This is the first room I've worked for a while that didn't have a blackboard
    so we will have to make do with more primitive visual aids
    as they say in the ed biz
    Consider the following subtraction problem
    which I will put up here: 342 minus 173
    Now, remember how we used to do that:
    But in the new approach, as you know
    the important thing is to understand what you're doing
    rather than to get the right answer
    Here's how they do it now:

    You can't take three from two
    Two is less than three
    So you look at the four in the tens place
    Now that's really four tens
    So you make it three tens
    Regroup, and you change a ten to ten ones
    And you add 'em to the two and get twelve
    And you take away three, that's nine
    Is that clear?

    Now instead of four in the tens place
    You've got three
    'Cause you added one
    That is to say, ten, to the two
    But you can't take seven from three
    So you look in the hundreds place

    From the three you then use one
    To make ten ones...
    (And you know why four plus minus one
    Plus ten is fourteen minus one?
    'Cause addition is commutative, right!)...
    And so you've got thirteen tens
    And you take away seven
    And that leaves five...

    Well, six actually...
    But the idea is the important thing!

    Now go back to the hundreds place
    You're left with two
    And you take away one from two
    And that leaves...?

    Everybody get one?
    Not bad for the first day!

    Hooray for New Math
    New-hoo-hoo Math
    It won't do you a bit of good to review math
    It's so simple
    So very simple
    That only a child can do it!

    Now, that actually is not the answer that I had in mind
    because the book that I got this problem out of wants you to do it in base eight
    But don't panic!
    Base eight is just like base ten really - if you're missing two fingers!
    Shall we have a go at it?
    Hang on...

    You can't take three from two
    Two is less than three
    So you look at the four in the eights place
    Now that's really four eights
    So you make it three eights
    Regroup, and you change an eight to eight ones
    And you add 'em to the two
    And you get one-two base eight
    Which is ten base ten
    And you take away three, that's seven
    Ok?

    Now instead of four in the eights place
    You've got three
    'Cause you added one
    That is to say, eight, to the two
    But you can't take seven from three
    So you look at the sixty-fours...

    Sixty-four? "How did sixty-four get into it?"
    I hear you cry!
    Well, sixty-four is eight squared, don't you see?
    Well, ya ask a silly question, ya get a silly answer...!

    From the three, you then use one
    To make eight ones
    You add those ones to the three
    And you get one-three base eight
    Or, in other words
    In base ten you have eleven
    And you take away seven
    And seven from eleven is four!
    Now go back to the sixty-fours
    You're left with two
    And you take away one from two
    And that leaves...?

    Now, let's not always see the same hands!
    One, that's right
    Whoever got one can stay after the show and clean the erasers

    Hooray for New Math
    New-hoo-hoo Math!
    It won't do you a bit of good to review math
    It's so simple
    So very simple
    That only a child can do it!

    Come back tomorrow night...we're gonna do fractions!

    Into The Great Wide Open
    (Italian Version: Nel Grande Spazio Aperto - 1992)
    Composer(s): Tom Petty; Jeff Lynne
    Performer(s): Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers - 1991



    Eddie waited til' he finished high school
    He went to Hollywood, got a tattoo
    He met a girl out there with a tattoo too
    The future was wide open

    They moved into a place they both could afford
    He found a night club he could work at the door
    She had a guitar and she taught him some chords
    The sky was the limit

    Into the great wide open
    Under them skies of blue
    Out in the great wide open
    A rebel without a clue

    The papers said Ed always played from the heart
    He got an agent and a roadie named Bart
    They made a record and it went in the charts
    The sky was the limit

    His leather jacket had chains that would jingle
    They both met movie stars, partied and mingled
    Their A&R man said: "I don't hear a single"
    The future was wide open

    Into the great wide open
    Under them skies of blue
    Out in the great wide open
    A rebel without a clue

    Into the great wide open
    Under them skies of blue
    Into the great wide open
    A rebel without a clue

    Performer(s): The Eagles;
    and various other artists



    There's talk on the street, it sounds so familiar
    Great expectations, everybody's watching you
    People you meet they all seem to know you
    Even your old friends treat you like you're something new
    Johnny-come-lately, the new kid in town
    Everybody loves you, so don't let them down

    You look in her eyes, the music begins to play
    Hopeless romantics, here we go again
    But after a while you're looking the other way
    It's those restless hearts that never mend
    Johnny-come-lately, the new kid in town
    Will she still love you when you're not around?

    There's so many things you should have told her
    But night after night you're willing to hold her
    Just hold her, tears on your shoulder

    There's talk on the street, it's there to remind you
    That it doesn't really matter which side you're on
    You're walking away and they're talking behind you
    They will never forget you till somebody new comes along

    Where you been lately?
    There's a new kid in town
    Everybody loves him, don't they?
    Now he's holding her
    And you're still around, oh my my
    There's a new kid in town
    Just another new kid in town

    Oo-hoo, everybody's talking 'bout the new kid in town
    Oo-hoo, everybody's walking like the new kid in town
    There's a new kid in town (I don't want to hear it)
    There's a new kid in town (I don't want to hear it)
    There's a new kid in town
    There's a new kid in town
    There's a new kid in town (Everybody's talking)
    There's a new kid in town (People started walking)
    There's a new kid in town
    There's a new kid in town
    (repeat & fade)

    (Adapted from: Into The Great Wide Open - 1991)
    Composer(s): Tom Petty; Jeff Lynne; Massimo Bubola
    Performer(s): Cristiano De Andrè - 1992



    Carlo finì le scuole e prese coraggio
    andò a Milano e si fece un tatuaggio
    la sua ragazza lo portava all'orecchio
    il futuro era aperto
    poi si affitarono una casa da soli
    lui trovò un posto in disco da buttafuori
    lei gli insegnò delle chitarre il segreto
    il cielo era il tetto

    Nel grande spazio aperto
    sopra quel cielo blu
    nel grande spazio aperto
    sei un ribelle senza tribù

    Le recensioni erano buone davvero
    prese un agente ed un bravo scudiero
    fecero un disco che iniziava a salire
    il cielo era il confine

    Sopra il giubbotto aveva catene e chiodi
    era invitato ai parties più prestigiosi
    ma il grande capo disse "Non è successo!"
    il futuro era aperto

    Nel grande spazio aperto
    sopra quel cielo blu
    nel grande spazio aperto
    sei un ribelle senza tribù

    Nel grande spazio aperto
    sopra quel cielo blu
    nel grande spazio aperto
    sei un ribelle senza tribù

    I've had dreams enough for one
    And I've got love enough for three
    I have my hopes to comfort me
    I've got my new horizons out to sea

    Chorus
    But I'm never gonna lose your precious gift
    It will always be that way
    And I know I'm gonna find my own peace of mind
    Someday, someway

    Where is this place that we have found
    Nobody knows where we are bound
    I long to hear, I need to see
    Cos' I've shed tears too many for me

    Chorus

    On the wind, soaring free
    Spread your wings, I'm beginning to see
    Out of mind, far from view
    Beyond the reach, of the nightmare come true

    I've had dreams enough for one
    And I've got love enough for three
    I have my hopes to comfort me
    I've got my new horizons out to sea

    Bring him into the arena
    And let the lion win again
    A triumph for the worst
    Or for the better

    Escaping remains uncertain

    A victim of his prophecies
    But we do much believe
    He may not wish all to see

    The dare
    May be surrender

    New Highway
    Composer(s): Homer Jackson
    Performer(s): Larry Sparks



    I read a book about a man
    Who never went to school
    He could tell you more things about life
    Than any man I ever knew

    He didn't study to be a carpenter
    But things he could build
    Would stand the storms life could bring
    No matter how small or big

    And he built a new highway to Heaven
    And few there'll be that travel thereon
    He put me on a new highway to Heaven
    There's no detour sign, you don't have to travel alone

    He didn't study to be a scientist
    Or have a doctor's degree
    He knew more than any surgeon
    Of this world could ever teach

    He can remove a stony heart
    Put a new one in its place
    Jesus does this from inside out
    Leaves no scars, no other trace

    And he built a new highway to Heaven
    And few there'll be that travel thereon
    He put me on a new highway to Heaven
    There's no detour sign, you don't have to travel alone

    He put me on a new highway to Heaven
    And few there'll be that travel thereon
    He put me on a new highway to Heaven
    There's no detour sign, you don't have to travel alone
    He put me on a new highway to Heaven

    Into My Arms
    Composer(s): Nick Cave
    First release by: Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - 1997



    I don't believe in an interventionist God
    But I know, darling, that you do
    But if I did I would kneel down and ask Him
    Not to intervene when it came to you
    Not to touch a hair on your head
    To leave you as you are
    And if He felt He had to direct you
    Then direct you into my arms

    Into my arms, O Lord
    Into my arms, O Lord
    Into my arms, O Lord
    Into my arms

    And I don't believe in the existence of angels
    But looking at you I wonder if that's true
    But if I did I would summon them together
    And ask them to watch over you
    To each burn a candle for you
    To make bright and clear your path
    And to walk, like Christ, in grace and love
    And guide you into my arms

    Into my arms, O Lord
    Into my arms, O Lord
    Into my arms, O Lord
    Into my arms

    And I believe in Love
    And I know that you do too
    And I believe in some kind of path
    That we can walk down, me and you
    So keep your candlew burning
    And make her journey bright and pure
    That she will keep returning
    Always and evermore

    Into my arms, O Lord
    Into my arms, O Lord
    Into my arms, O Lord
    Into my arms

    Evening hillside, summertime
    Jars we filled with fireflies
    I remember you and I
    Say, it's been a long long time

    And I've been sitting by the Ohio
    Watching the tow boats rollin' up slow
    Thinkin' of the places we used to go
    You've been on my mind

    Rain across the bottom land
    broken stones from an old mill dam
    West wind blowin' in the dawnin' day
    Enough to blow the blues my way

    And I've been sitting by the Ohio
    Watching the tow boats rollin' up slow
    Thinkin' of the places we used to go
    You've been on my mind

    Rusty rails, an old river town
    Whistle blowin' New Orleans bound
    Cornfields waitin' for the plow
    All the things I can't tell you now

    And I've been sitting by the Ohio
    Watching the tow boats rollin' up slow
    Thinkin' of the places we used to go
    You've been on my mind

    Indiana country roads,
    Winter's sky so deep and cold
    New moon's arms, cradle the old
    Come home songs on the radio

    And I've been sitting by the Ohio
    Watching the tow boats rollin' up slow
    Thinkin' of the places we used to go
    You've been on my mind

    You've got your house, you've got your car
    You live up on the hill among the stars
    You say you did what you had to do
    But was it really worth what they put you through
    You know these things we believed in
    It didn't touch you at all
    I hate to see you like this baby
    With your back to the wall

    You lost your heart, when you lost your nerve
    Maybe you lost your grip on that first curve
    You used to talk about bein' free
    Why, you're so tied up you can't even breathe

    You know these things we believed in
    They didn't touch you at all
    I hate to see you like this baby
    With your back to the wall
    Money into money
    Money into money

    Money into money
    Money into money
    You're into money, into money
    You're into money, money
    Into money yeah, yeah
    Into money
    Into money, into money, into money yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
    Into money

    New Europeans
    Composer(s): Warren Cann; Chris Cross;
    Billy Currie; Ultravox; Midge Ure
    Performer(s): Midge Ure; Ultravox



    In a quiet street washed by the rain a room within the home
    A lonely man sits cheek to cheek with unique designs in chrome
    The mellow years have long gone by, but now he sits alone
    He has a brand new radio, but never turns it on

    New Europeans
    Young Europeans
    New Europeans

    A photograph of lovers lost lies pressed in magazines
    Her eyes belong to a thousand girls, she's the wife who's never seen
    Their educated son has left in search of borrowed dreams
    His television's in his bed, he's frozen to the screen

    New Europeans
    Young Europeans
    New Europeans

    On a crowded beach washed by the sun, he puts his headphones on
    His modern world revolves around the synthesizer's song
    Full of future thoughts and thrills, his senses slip away
    He's a European legacy, a culture for today

    Into Each Life Some Rain Must Fall
    Composer(s): Doris Fisher; Allan Roberts
    Performer(s): Ella Fitzgerald & The Ink Spots
    and multiple other artists



    Into each life some rain must fall
    But too much is falling in mine
    Into each heart some tears must fall
    But some day the sun will shine

    Some folks can lose the blues in their hearts
    But when I think of you another shower starts
    Into each life some rain must fall
    But too much is falling in mine

    Into each and every life some rain has got to fall
    But too much of that stuff is fallin' into mine
    And into each heart some tears gotta fall
    And I know that someday that sun is bound to shine

    Some folks can lose the blues in their heart
    But when I think of you another shower starts
    Into each life some rain must fall
    But too much is fallin' in mine

    New Cut Road
    Composer(s): Guy Clark
    Performer(s): Guy Clark;
    Bobby Bare; Johnny Cash;
    The Coal Porters; Emmylou Harris



    Coleman Bonner was a fiddle playin' fool
    He's a backwoods rounder and a breaker of mules
    Coleman Bonner's got a wore out bow
    He's been playin' all day down the new cut road

    Coleman's little sister said you better act right
    Daddy's gone to Louisville he'll be back tonight
    He's gonna get another wagon and a good pair of mules
    And we gonna move to Texas we just waitin' on you

    Coleman's daddy pulled up in the yard
    He said pack up your lives kids it's gettin' too hard
    Kentucky's alright but there's too many people
    Just the other day I thought I saw a church steeple

    Coleman said daddy don't you worry bout me
    I'm gonna stay here in Kentucky till the day I d
    I'm gonna drink that sourmash and gonna race that mare
    And find that woman with the fox red hair

    Now you all been movin' west since the day you got married
    Well I'm gettin' off the wagon daddy I'm too old to be carried
    Gonna stay here in Kentucky where the bluegrass grow
    I'm gonna play it all night down the new cut road

    Coleman's daddy said now what's it all comn' to
    Young people these days are just as stubborn as mules
    You can't make him go he's too old for that
    It's that damned old fiddle and that bowler hat

    Coleman's mama said let the boy stay
    He's raised up solid and he can find his own way
    But as for me honey I'm with you
    I always thought Kentucky was just passin' through

    Coleman's little sister then she started into a cryin'
    And his daddy shook his head for the very last time
    Coleman's mama said somebody's gotta do it
    Wouldn't be no Kentucky less you didn't stick to it

    Coleman Booner stood on the porch of that cabin
    Watched 'em all go to Texas in a covered wagon
    He pulled out his fiddle and he rosined up his bow
    And he played a little tune called the new cut road

    International Heroes
    Composer(s): Kim Fowley; Kerry Scott
    First release by: Kim Fowley - 1973



    Bobby and Sue still go to school
    Falling asleep and it ain’t too cool
    Time and day stuck in the rain
    At every concert the bus leaves early
    We’re just wasting time
    Wondering what we’ll find when it’s all over

    I think I’ll cut my hair off
    And start a new game
    Why bother being different
    We’re all the same
    Hey friend, it’s gotta end
    I don’t care what you wear
    It’s what you are that makes you a star

    International heroes
    You got the teenage blues
    Change has gotta come soon
    Or else we’re gonna lose

    Noise I hear year after year
    Ain’t done nothing more than become unclear
    Hey everybody what have we got
    Old clothes and records starting to rot
    Don’t throw them away
    Open yourselves to the sounds of the future

    International heroes
    You got the teenage blues
    Change has gotta come soon
    Or else we’re gonna lose (lose lose)

    International heroes
    You got the teenage blues
    Change has gotta come soon
    Or else we’re gonna lose

    International heroes
    You got the teenage blues
    Change has gotta come soon
    Or else we’re gonna lose

    New Blowtop Blues
    Composer(s): Jane Feather; Leonard Feather
    Performer(s): Dinah Washington;
    Deborah Cox; Lavay Smith & Her Red Hot Skillet Lickers



    I've got bad news baby, and you're the first to know
    Yes I've got bad news baby, and you're the first to know
    Well I discovered this morning that my wig is about to blow

    Well I've been rocking on my feet and I've been talking all out of my head
    Yes I've been rocking on my feet and I've been talking all out of my head
    And when I get through talking, I can't remember a thing I've said

    Now I used to be a sharpie
    All dressed in the latest styles
    But now I'm walking down Broadway
    Wearing nothing but a smile
    I see all kinds of little men
    Although they're never there
    I tried to push a subway train
    And poured whiskey in my hair
    I'm a gal who blew a fuse, I've got those blowtop blues

    Last night I was five feet tall
    Today I'm eight feet ten
    Every time I fall downstairs, I float right up again
    When someone turned the lights on me it like to drove me blind
    I woke up this morning in Bellevue but I've left my mind behind
    I'm a gal you can't excuse, 'cause I've got those blowtop blues

    Well I got high last night, and I took my man to his wife's front door
    Yes I got juiced last night and I took my man to his wife's front door
    Oh but she was a 45-packin' mama, and I ain't goin' to try that no more!
