    It's Not Easy
    Composer(s): Barry Mann; Cynthia Weil
    Performer(s): Normie Rowe
    and multiple other artists



    Hey girl, what can I do with you
    When you take this ol' heart and tear it in two
    Is it asking so much for you to be true
    I'm an easy going man who takes all that he can

    But I tell you
    It's not easy loving you, baby
    It's not easy wanting you so
    It's not easy loving you, baby
    But it's harder, girl, to let you go
    Harder, girl, to let you go

    Girl, I give everything I've got inside
    How much more do you need to keep you satisfied
    I put up with so much, Lord knows I've tried
    And in spite of all the pain, I try not to complain

    But I tell you
    It's not easy loving you, baby
    It's not easy wanting you so
    It's not easy loving you, baby
    But it's harder, girl, to let you go
    Harder, girl, to let you go

    It's not easy loving you, baby
    No, it's not easy
    It's not easy loving you so
    Loving you, baby
    It's not easy loving you, baby
    It's not easy
    Loving you so ...

    Come And See What's Happenin' In The Barn
    Composer(s): Gloria Gaither; Bill Gaither
    Performer(s): Bill & Gloria Gaither



    Come and see what’s happenin’ in the barn!
    I’ve seen nothin’ like this since I’ve been on this farm!
    Those strangers that camped out there have a baby in their arms
    Come and see what’s happenin’ in the barn!

    Must have been sometime ‘bout close to midnight
    A big ole’ guy came knockin’ at my door
    He said his wife was ‘bout to have a baby
    And she just couldn’t travel anymore
    I said the rooms had all been rented out
    But they’d find shelter out there in the barn
    They could throw some blankets in the stable
    At least, they would be dry and safe from harm

    Sometime before dawn I was awakened
    Light was floodin’ through the windowpane
    A star as bright as moonlight was a shinin’
    And pretty music I could not explain
    I ran downstairs to have a look around
    I tell you I could not believe my eyes
    A crowd had gathered all around the manger
    And they were talkin’ ‘bout God’s big surprise

    The shepherds said that they’d been on the hillside
    Tellin’ stories just to stay awake
    The baby lambs were sleepin’ near the campfire
    The ewes were huddled by the stone fence gate
    And then the sky just seemed to open wide
    With light and sound that they could hardly bear
    And what they swore were angels sang in chorus
    “You’ll find the new Messiah over there.”

    “Go and see what’s happening in the barn”
    There’s been nothin’ like it ever happened on this farm!
    The strangers that camped out there have a baby in their arms
    Go and see what’s happenin’ in the barn!

    It's No Secret
    Composer(s): Marty Balin
    Performer(s): Jefferson Airplane



    It's no secret
    how strong my love is for you
    It's no secret
    when I tell you what I'm gonna do
    'cause I love you, yes I love you

    It's no secret

    It's no secret
    when I say my love is real
    'cause I love you, yes I love you

    It's no secret
    when you got me jumping up and down
    It's no secret
    'cause my heart is chained and bound
    I love you, yes I love you, Yeah

    It's no secret
    everybody knows how I feel

    As I get older
    the year sake get's heavy for you
    wow

    I feel like my whole life is through
    yearh, when I stop
    feeling how strong my

    wow
    I know I'll be empty
    watching your love
    like I do

    It's no secret (no)
    when you got me jumping up and down
    It's no secret
    'cause my heart is chained and bound
    I love you, yes I love you, Yeah

    It's no secret
    everybody knows how I feel
    It's no secret

    Christy Christmas
    Composer(s): Tony Starr - Marty Symes
    Performer(s): Brenda Lee



    Santa's got a brand new helper
    You're the first one to be told
    He wears a hat that's trimmed with fur
    And his boots are made of gold

    His name is Christy Christmas
    He's cute as he can be
    He's made of wood
    `Cause Santa carved him from a Christmas Tree

    Christy Christmas
    Is loading Santa's Sleigh
    He'll hook up all the reindeer
    And they'll soon be on their way

    Christy Christmas
    Is Santa's pride and joy
    He picks out all the presents
    For each little girl and boy

    Perhaps you'll get a toyland playground
    Full of skates and kiddie car
    It has a great big slide bar you can ride
    And swing that hanging star

    Christy Christmas
    Will make your dreams come true
    And you'll love Christy Christmas
    Just as much as he loves you

    Christy Christmas
    Will bring you pretty toys
    Like talking dolls for little girls
    And choo choo trains for boys

    Christy Christmas
    Will serve good things to eat
    He'll give your little tummy tum
    A cake and candy treat

    Before you go to bed this Christmas
    Better leave a snack or two
    They'll be someone else with Santa
    When he comes to visit you

    Christy Christmas
    They'll make into a toy
    And all you children soon can play
    With Santa's little boy

    Composer(s): David Bowie
    Performer(s): David Bowie



    Part 1:

    1
    2
    1-2-2

    Shiruetto ya kage ga kakumei o miteiru
    Mo tengoku no giyu no kaidan wa nai2

    Silhouettes and shadows
    watch the revolution
    No more free steps to heaven
    It's no game

    Ore genjitsu kara shime dasare
    Nani ga okkote irunoka wakara nai
    Doko ni kyokun wa arunoka
    Hitobito wa yubi o orareteiru
    Konna dokusaisha ni iyashime rareru nowa kanashii

    I am barred from the event
    I really don't understand the situation
    And it's no game

    Documentaries on refugees
    Couples 'gainst the target
    You throw a rock against the road
    And it breaks into pieces
    Draw the blinds on yesterday
    and it's all so much scarier
    Put a bullet in my brain
    and it makes all the papers 2

    Nammin no kiroku eiga
    Hyoteki o se ni shita koibito tachi
    Michi ni ishi o nage reba
    Kona gona ni kudake
    Kino ni huta o sureba
    Kyohu wa masu
    Ore no atama ni tama o buchi kome ba
    Shinbun wa kaki tateru

    So where's the moral
    when people have their fingers broken2
    To be insulted by these fascists
    it's so degrading
    And it's no game

    Shut up! Shutu...




    Part 2:

    Silhouettes and shadows
    watch the revolution
    No more free steps to heaven
    Just walkie-talkie - heaven or hearth
    Just big heads and drums - full speed and pagan
    And it's no game

    I am barred from the event
    I really don't understand the situation
    So where's the moral
    People have their fingers broken
    To be insulted by these fascists it's so degrading
    And it's no game

    Documentaries on refugees
    couples 'gainst the target
    Throw a rock against the road
    and it breaks into pieces
    Draw the blinds on yesterday
    and it's all so much scarier
    Put a bullet in my brain
    and it makes all the papers

    And it's no game

    Children round the world
    put camel shit on the walls

    They're making carpets on treadmills
    or garbage sorting

    And it's no game

    Christmas Without You Composer(s): Dolly Parton - Steve Goldstein First release by: Dolly Parton & Kenny Rogers - 1984



    Christmas without you
    White Christmas and I'm blue
    Like fireworks with no fuse
    Christmas without you
    The fireplace keeps burning and my thoughts keep turning
    The pages of memories of time spent with you
    Old Christmas songs we knew and used to make love to
    Make it hard to get used to
    Christmas without you

    Christmas without you
    White Christmas and I'm blue
    I love you I miss you
    So sad but so true
    Christmas without you
    Like a mystery with no clues
    Like fireworks with no fuse
    Christmas without you

    The sweetest gift I know would be if the new snow
    Could fall on your footsteps on this Christmas Eve
    The most joyous Christmas if luck could be with us
    Would be if Saint Nicholas brought you home to me

    Christmas without you
    White Christmas and I'm blue
    I love you I miss you I need you
    So sad but so true
    Like a mystery with no clues
    Like fireworks with no fuse
    Christmas without you

    It's Nice To Go Trav'ling
    Composer(s): Sammy Cahn; Jimmy Van Heusen
    Frank Sinatra; David Newton; Si Zentner & His Orch.



    It's very nice to go trav'lin'
    To Paris, London, and Rome
    It's oh, so nice to go trav'lin'
    But it's so much nicer
    Yes, it's so much nicer to come home

    It's very nice to just wander
    The camel route to Iraq
    It's oh, so nice to just wander
    But it's so much nicer
    Yes it's oh, so nice to wander back

    The mam'selles and frauleins
    And the senoritas are sweet
    But they can't compete
    'Cause they just don't have
    What the models have on Madison Ave.

    It's very nice to be footloose
    With just a toothbrush and comb
    It's oh, so nice to be footloose
    But your heart starts singin'
    When you're homeward wingin' 'cross the foam

    And you know your fate is
    Where the Empire State is
    All you contemplate is the view
    From Miss Liberty's dome
    It's very nice to go trav'lin'
    But it's oh, so nice to come home

    You will find the maedchen
    And the gay muchachas are rare
    But they can't compare with that sexy line
    That parades each day at Sunset and Vine

    It's quite the life to play gypsy
    And roam as Gypsies will roam
    It's quite the life to play gypsy
    But your heart starts singin'
    When you're homeward wingin' 'cross the foam

    And the Hudson River
    Makes you start to quiver
    Like the latest flivver
    That's simply drippin' with chrome
    It's very nice to go trav'ling
    But it's oh, so nice to come home

    No more Customs
    Burn the passport
    No more packin'
    And unpackin'
    Light the home fires
    Get my slippers
    Make a pizza

    Christmas Without Daddy
    Composer(s): Jay Lee Webb
    Performer(s): Loretta Lynn



    Christmas Day is getting closer
    But there's sadness mixed with joy
    Every day a few more questions
    From our little girl and boy
    Not alone, but they'll be lonely
    For their Daddy won't be here
    And just like the air at Christmas
    There'll be a chill upon the chill

    Christmas without Daddy
    Will be such a lonesome day
    We'll send a prayer and
    All our love to you so far away
    Your son just wrote to Santa
    Asked him to send you home
    Yes Christmas without Daddy
    We'll be blue and all alone

    Christmas without Daddy
    I don't know what we're gonna do
    On the present from your baby
    She wrote, "Daddy, I love you"
    Your son just wrote to Santa
    Asked him to send you home
    Yes Christmas without daddy
    We'll be blue and all alone

    It's Never Too Late To Be Sorry
    Composer(s): James E. Dempsey; Joseph A. Burke



    I watched a sweet rose droop and die
    for want of rain and wondered why
    the rain drops, when at last, they came
    could not restore its bloom again
    you're like the rose, I'm like the rain
    you wanted me and called in vain
    perhaps you wondered why I'm here
    I've come to say I'm sorry dear

    I know on God's unerring slate the charge against me must be great
    and every sinful move I've made is entered as a debt unpaid
    but in the book we all know of I've found these tender words of love
    "When tears of sweet contrition flow then scarlet sins are made as snow"

    It's never too late to be sorry
    I'm sorry I taught you to care
    I wish I could lift from your shoulders the cross I have made you bear
    I can't mend a heart I have broken there isn't a thing I can do
    but its never too late to be sorry and God knows I'm for you

    It's Christmas Eve, and snow is on the ground
    Mistletoe and holly all around
    Yes, all the world is happy, but since you went away
    My Christmas will be just another lonely day
    Yeah, another lonely day, yeah

    My tree is trimmed with pretty colored lights
    And at the top, the Christmas star shines bright
    Yes, everything around me is very bright and gay
    But Christmas will be just another lonely day
    Yeah, another lonely day, yeah

    I had a lonely September, October, November, too
    But December is twice as lonely without you

    For soon it will be time for Santa Claus
    And surely he will bring you back, because
    Without you here beside me, my world will be so gray
    And Christmas will be just another lonely day
    Yeah, another lonely day, yeah
    Another lonely day, yeah
    Another lonely day, yeah

    Nobody knows where my Johnny has gone
    Judy left the same time
    Why was he holding her hand
    When he's supposed to be mine

    It's my party, and I'll cry if I want to
    Cry if I want to, cry if I want to
    You would cry too if it happened to you

    Playing my records, keep dancing all night
    Leave me alone for a while
    'Till Johnny's dancing with me
    I've got no reason to smile

    It's my party, and I'll cry if I want to
    Cry if I want to, cry if I want to
    You would cry too if it happened to you

    Judy and Johnny just walked through the door
    Like a queen with her king
    Oh what a birthday surprise
    Judy's wearing his ring

    It's my party, and I'll cry if I want to
    Cry if I want to, cry if I want to
    You would cry too if it happened to you

    Ce qui me plaît
    J'ai décidé
    Ce soir de m'amuser

    Il y a juste une année aujourd'hui

    À boire et à danser

    J'ai décidé
    Ce soir de m'amuser

    Sur le passé j'ai tracé une croix

    Seems like only yesterday
    We put our Christmas things away
    Now here's another Christmas Day with you
    When you're in love, how time does fly
    And this year that's just flown by
    Had been one happy holiday for two

    Christmas to Christmas
    Wrapped in your arms
    Love's always in season
    And always so warm
    Till my days on Earth are through
    I will spend Christmas to Christmas lovin' you

    Yes, the givin' season's here again
    Time to love your fellow man
    Yuletide smiles are in demand, it's true
    The love we share is for all time
    We'll feel its glow right through July
    To melt the cold when winter flies anew

    Christmas to Christmas
    Wrapped in your arms
    Love's always in season
    And always so warm
    Till my days on earth are through
    I will spend Christmas to Christmas lovin' you

    Till my days on earth are through
    I will spend Christmas to Christmas lovin' you

    First release by: The Animals - 1965
    Covered by multiple other artists



    It's a hard world to get a break in
    All the good things have been taken
    But girl there are ways
    To make certain things pay
    Though I'm dressed in these rags
    I'll wear sable some day
    Hear what I say
    I'm gonna ride the serpent
    No more time spent sweatin' rent
    Hear my command
    I'm breakin' loose, it ain't no use
    Holdin' me down, stick around

    And baby, baby
    Remember, remember
    It's my life and I'll do what I want
    It's my mind and I'll think like I want
    Show me I'm wrong, hurt me sometime
    But some day I'll treat you real fine

    There'll be women and their fortunes
    Who just want to mother orphans
    Are you gonna cry
    While I'm squeezin' them dry
    Takin' all I can get, no regrets
    When I, openly lie
    And live on their money
    Believe me honey, that money
    Can you believe, I ain't no saint
    No complaints
    So girl throw out
    Any doubt

    And baby (baby)
    Remember (remember)
    It's my life and I'll do what I want
    It's my mind and I'll think like I want
    Show me I'm wrong, hurt me sometime
    But some day I'll treat you real fine

    (It's my life and I'll do what I want) Don't push me
    (It's my mind and I'll think like I want) It's my life
    (It's my life and I'll do what I want) And I can do what I want
    (It's my mind and I'll think like I want) You can't tell me
    (It's my life and I'll do what I want)

    Christmas Time's A-Coming
    Composer(s): Tex Logan
    Performer(s): Bill Anderson;
    and various other artists



    Christmas time's a-comin', Christmas time's a-comin'
    Christmas time's a-comin' and I know I'm going home

    Snowflakes are falling, my old home's a calling
    Tall pines are humming, Christmas time's a-coming
    Can't you hear them bells ringing, ringing joy, joy hear them singing
    When it's snowing I'll be going back to my country home
    Christmas time's a-comin', Christmas time's a-comin'
    Christmas time's a-comin' and I know I'm going home

    Holly's in the window, home's where the wind blows
    Can't walk for running, Christmas time's a-comin'
    Can't you hear them bells ringing, ringing joy, joy hear them singing
    When it's snowing I'll be going back to my country home
    Christmas time's a-comin', Christmas time's a-comin'
    Christmas time's a-comin' and I know I'm going home

    White candles burning, my old heart's a yearning
    For the folks at home when Christmas time's a-coming
    Can't you hear them bells ringing, ringing joy, joy hear them singing
    When it's snowing I'll be going back to my country home
    Christmas time's a-comin', Christmas time's a-comin'
    Christmas time's a-comin' and I know I'm going home

    It's My Job
    Composer(s): Mac McAnally
    Performer(s): Jimmy Buffett
    and multiple other artists



    In the middle of late last night, I was sittin' on a curb
    Didn't know what about but something had me quite disturbed
    Street sweeper comes whistling by and he's bouncing every step
    Seems strange how good he felt so I asked him while he swept

    He said it's my job to be cleaning up this mess
    And that's the best reason to go for me
    It's my job to be better than the rest
    And that makes the day for me

    Got an uncle that owns a bank, he's a self made millionaire
    Never had anyone to thank, never had no one to care
    He always seemed kind of sad to me so I asked him why that was
    And he told me it's because in my contract there's a clause

    That says it's my job to be worried half to death
    And that's the thing people respect in me
    It's my job and without it I'd be less
    Than what I expect to be

    I've been lazy most all my life, singing songs and sleeping late
    Any manual labor I've done is purely by mistake
    If street sweepers can smile then I got no right to feel upset
    But sometimes I still forget till the lights come on and the stage is set
    And the song hits home and you feel that sweat

    It's my job to be different from the rest
    And that's the best reason to go for me
    It's my job to be better than the rest
    And that's a tough break for me

    It's my job to be cleaning up this mess
    And that's the best reason to go for me
    It's my job to be different from the rest
    And that makes the day for me

    Christmas time will soon be over
    Christmas time will soon be over

    It's Movin' Day
    Composer(s): Andrew B. Sterling; Harry Von Tilzer
    Charlie Poole & the North Carolina Ramblers



    Landlord said this morning to me
    'Give me your key, this lot ain't free
    I can't get no rent out of you
    Pack up your act and skidoo, you'
    'I've been waiting till my Bill comes home
    He's my honey from the honeycomb
    He'll have money for he told me so this morning'

    Because it's moving day, moving day
    I rip the carpet up off the floor
    Load your oil stove and out the door
    Because it's moving day
    Pack your bed quilts and get away
    If you spend every cent you can live out in a tent
    It's moving day

    Moving day, moving day
    I rip the carpet up off the floor
    Load your oil stove and out the door
    Because it's moving day
    Pack your bed quilts and get away
    If you spend every cent you can live out in a tent
    It's moving day

    Christmas-Time Seems Years And Years Away
    Composer(s): Ted Snyder - Irving Berlin



    In a garden fair, sat a happy pair
    'Neath a shady maple tree
    She had promised him
    "We'll be married, Jim
    To the chimes of Trinity
    "Tis the month of May, but next Christmas Day
    I will be your blushing bride
    Don't you worry dear
    It will soon be here"
    But he looked at her and sighed

    "Christmas chimes mean happy times, for you and me, sweetheart
    Winter time means you'll be mine, and never more to part
    Honeymoon can't shine too soon, I wish it were today
    Girlie mine, don't Christmas time seem years and years away?"

    "There is nothing, dear, that I have to fear
    If I can't afford the ring
    Santa Claus is kind
    And I'm sure he'll find
    Just a plain gold band to bring
    It's been just a year since I met you, dear
    But it seems like just a day
    If I only could, girlie dear, I would
    Turn December into May"

    "Christmas chimes mean happy times, for you and me, sweetheart
    Winter time means you'll be mine, and never more to part
    Honeymoon can't shine too soon, I wish it were today
    Girlie mine, don't Christmas time seem years and years away?"

    It's Midnight And I'm Not Famous Yet
    Composer(s): Jimmy Buffett; Steve Goodman
    Performer(s): Jimmy Buffett



    Catch the elevator from the penthouse suite
    And take it down to the casino
    The god-almighty sound of money movin' round
    Can be heard all the way to Reno

    Well it's midnight and I'm not famous yet
    Tryin' to win it all with one more bet
    Nothin' can stop my thirty-two hop
    Or my ten dollar yo yo yo
    It's midnight, I'm just gettin' ready to roll

    (Midnight)
    Now Lester Polyester signs another marker
    Like the high rollers do
    Seven come eleven
    His brand new baby needs Gucci shoes

    Well it's midnight she's not famous yet
    Tryin' to break the bank with one more bet
    Nothin' can stop my thirty-two hop
    Or my ten dollar yo yo yo
    It's midnight, Lester's gettin' ready to roll

    Midnight (midnight)
    Midnight

    (Midnight)
    They're pagin' someone we know, Lester hits a keno
    He's not leavin' yet
    Vacuum cleaners hummin' lounge act still is strummin'
    It's their twenty-fourth set
    Well it's midnight they're not famous yet
    Tryin' to win it all with one more bet
    Nothin' can stop my thirty-two hop
    Or my ten dollar yo yo yo
    It's midnight, got nowhere to go (Oh oh)

    Midnight (midnight)
    (Oh oh oh)
    Midnight (midnight)

    (Oh oh oh, Midnight)
    (Oh oh oh, Midnight)
    (Oh oh oh, Midnight)
    (Oh oh oh)
