Shine On Brightly Composer(s): Gary Brooker; Keith Reid Performer(s): Procol Harum
My Prussian-blue electric clock's alarm bell rings, it will not stop and I can see no end in sight and search in vain by candlelight for some long road that goes nowhere for some signpost that is not there And even my befuddled brain is shining brightly, quite insane The chandelier is in full swing as gifts for me the three kings bring of myrrh and frankincense, I'm told and fat old Buddhas carved in gold And though it seems they smile with glee I know in truth they envy me and watch as my befuddled brain shines on brightly quite insane Above all else confusion reigns And though I ask no-one explains My eunuch friend has been and gone He said that I must soldier on And though the Ferris wheel spins round my tongue it seems has run aground and croaks as my befuddled brain shines on brightly, quite insane
Shine A Little Love Composer(s): Jeff Lynne Electric Light Orchestra; Meanstreet Boys; Jason Prince
Although the things you've done I wouldn't criticize I guess you had your way You see I gotta make you understand I know it sounds a foolish thing to say But it don't matter baby 'cos' today's another day
You shine a little love on my life You shine a little love on my life You shine a little love on my life and let me see
Remember,tonight we're gonna run till dawn Remember,tonight we're gonna say We'll never stop we got a good thing goin' on I know you've heard it all before But I really need you darlin' every day I need you more
You shine a little love on my life You shine a little love on my life You shine a little love on my life and let me see
Can you understand (Yes I understand) Can you feel it's right (I know it is) Will you be the same (I'll do it all again)
It's been a year now and it's getting so much better You came home without a word Though everybody said you'll soon forget her Thay couldn't see and they just didn't understand And lookin' in the mirror there were fools at either hand
Can you understand (Yes I understand) Can you feel it's right (I know it is) Will you be the same (I'll do it all again)
How many days had I been waiting there to tell you I really can't believe We're walkin' out into the world tonight We'll do it all again until the break of light And the feelin' in your heart will soon be shinin' in your eyes
You shine a little love on my life You shine a little love on my life You shine a little love on my life and let me see
Shine Composer(s): Lew Brown - Ford Dabney - Cecil Mack Performer(s): Ella Fitzgerald and multiple other artists
'Cause my hair is curly Just because my teeth are pearly Just because I always wear a smile Like to dress up in the latest style
'Cause I'm glad I'm livin' I take these troubles all with a smile Just because my color's shady, That's the difference, maybe, why they call me
Shine, sway your blues'ies. Why don't you shine? Start with your shoes'ies. Shine each place up, make it look like new. Shine your face up, I want to see you wear a smile or two.
Why don't you shine your these and thoseies? You'll find everything gonna turn out right fine Folks will shine up to ya' Everybody's gonna howdy doody do-ya' You'll make the whole world shine
Oh chocolate drop, that's me...
'Cause my hair is curly, (man's got curly hair) Now just because my teeth are pearly, (also got pearly teeth) Just because I always wear a smile, (oh keep on smiling) Like to dress us, babe, in the latest style.
'Cause I'm glad I'm livin' I take these troubles all with a smile Now just because my color's shady (you's a shady baby) That's the difference, maybe, why they call me...
Shine away your blues'ies Shine, start with your shoes'ies You'll make the whole world shine
Shimmy Shimmy Ko-Ko-Bop Shimmy Shimmy Bop Shimmy Shimmy Ko-Ko-Bop Shimmy Shimmy Bop Sittin' in a native hut All alone and blue Sittin' in a native hut Wonderin' what to do Along came a native girl Did a native dance It was like in paradise Put me in a trance
Going Shimmy Shimmy Ko-Ko-Bop Shimmy Shimmy Bop Shimmy Shimmy Ko-Ko-Bop Shimmy Shimmy Bop Joined her in her dancin' spree Felt my spine a-tingle Held her tight and close to me Man I'm glad I'm single Then she showed me what to do First I was amazed Soon I learned a step or two Put me in a daze
Going Shimmy Shimmy Ko-Ko-Bop Shimmy Shimmy Bop Shimmy Shimmy Ko-Ko-Bop Shimmy Shimmy Bop Shimmy Shimmy Ko-Ko-Bop Shimmy Shimmy Bop You can do the ko-ko-bop Now's no time to stop Left foot forward right one back Bring them side by side Uh syncopate your last two steps Now you're going to glide Keep along the rhythm track Girls please show 'em how Now you start to arch your back Man you got it now
Shilo
Composer(s): Neil Diamond
Performer(s): Neil Diamond; Ray Gehring
Young child with dreams
Dream ev'ry dream on your own
When children play
seems like you end up alone
Papa says he'd love to be with you
If he had the time
So you turn on the only friend you can find
There in your mind
Shilo, when I was young
I used to call you name
When no one else would come
Shilo, you always came
And we'd play
Young girl with fire
Something said she understood
I wanted to fly
She made me feel like I could
Held my hand out, and I let her take me
Blind as a child
All I saw was the way that she made me smile
She made me smile
Shilo, when I was young
I used to call you name
When no one else would come
Shilo, you always came
And you'd stay
Had a dream, and it filled me with wonder
She had other plans
Got to go, and I know that you'll understand
I understand
Shilo, when I was young
I used to call you name
When no one else would come
Shilo, you always came
Come today

She's Single Again Composer(s): Charlie Craig; Pete McCann Performer(s): Janie Fricke; Reba McEntire
I just gotta tell ya what I saw last night I wished I was guessing but I know I'm right She walked in this place with a smile on her face and I wondered why she was alone Every man watched as she swayed on by The way she was looking every woman could cry and then I saw her sit down with her lawyer and I knew what was going on
She's single again, hold on to your men She'll make us worried wives And bring us broken lives and heartaches that never end She's single again She's no woman's friend and she'd making her move She's got nothing to lose Look out she's single again
Tell me is this number four or is this number five Tell me how many husbands has she buried alive She uses the favors that the good Lord gave her with the devil's design OOOh I know she's thinking she's on top of the world I've seen her working and I'm warning you girls She's single again She's got a way with men, but she'd better get away from mine
She's single again, hold on to your men She'll make us worried wives And bring us broken lives and heartaches that never end She's single again She's no woman's friend and she'd making her move She's got nothing to lose Look out she's single again ...

She's Out Of My Life She's Out Of My Life Damned Indecision And Cursed Pride Kept My Love For Her Locked Deep Inside And It Cuts Like A Knife She's Out Of My Life
She's only a bird In a gilded cage A beautiful sight to see You may think she's happy And free from care She's not Tho' she seems to be 'Tis sad when you think Of her wasted life For youth cannot mate with age And her beauty was sold For an old man's gold She's a bird in a gilded cage

She even kisses me like you used to do And it's just breaking my heart 'cause she's not you

Je suis seul avec ma peine Quand tu n'es pas là Et je ne suis plus le même Quand tu n'es pas là

Et je crierai très loin en te voyant Et je crierai, fier, au vu de ces gens Tant pis s'ils me croient fou Que m'importe après tout Tu seras là
Dans la vie tout m'indiffère Quand tu n'es pas là Et je ne sais plus que faire Quand tu n'es pas là
Mais demain Je pourrai te dire Combien je t'aime Oh oui combien! Enfin, je pourrai te dire "Te voilà!"
Et si je crie, tu ne m'en voudras pas Et si je crie, tu crieras avec moi Un heureux de retour Heureux de cet amour Nous serons là

She's Never Been Seen Since Then Composer(s): Jack Cottrell Performer(s): George Formby
It's marvellous to me the way some people lead their lives Especially the men who've got what we call naggin' wives And really it's quite simple folks as far as I can see Now married men just use your brains and take a tip from me
Oh, she's never been seen since then She's never been seen since then My old girl, what a proper nark I took her for a walk with me one night around the park We were goin' by the lake and it had only just gone dark And she's never been seen since then No, never been seen since then
Oh, she's never been seen since then She's never been seen since then Her father told her that she was a pest She ran away to London 'cause she thought it would be best She couldn't find a room, so she stayed in a sailor's rest And she's never been seen since then No, never been seen since then
Oh, she's never been seen since then Never been seen since then Someone said, "What a silly ass" She didn't care a bit, she had a face as bold as brass One night she struck a match and put a penny in the gas And she's never been seen since then No, never been seen since then
Oh, she's never been seen since then She's never been seen since then My best pal, boy named Wood Said he'd tame his ma-in-law, but found he never could One night he took her on a bridge and someone heard a thud And she's never been seen since then No, never been seen since then
Oh, she's never been seen since then She's never been seen since then Married one year, had an awful life Asked me how I'd like a woman like her for my wife I said what, and you a butcher with a chopper and a knife And she's never been seen since then No, never been seen since then
