Brings jasmine tea on a painted tray and bends to kiss my frown away But I'm still still stuck in the August rain stuck out in the cloudburst once again The cover's on, the coast is clear We're all battened down, only us here But I'm still still stuck in the August rain stuck out in the cloudburst once again She walks between the lines and she can read my signs
Stuck out in the August rain Out in the cloudburst once again
Single-minded in my gloom I appear to revel in this darkened room But I'm still still stuck in the August rain stuck out in the cloudburst once again She walks between the lines and she can read my signs
Stuck out in the August rain Out in the cloudburst once again
I'm not afraid Of anything in this world There's nothing you can throw at me That I haven't already heard I'm just trying to find A decent melody A song that I can sing In my own company
I never thought you were a fool But darling look at you You gotta stand up straight Carry your own weight These tears are going nowhere baby
You've got to get yourself together You've got stuck in a moment And now you can't get out of it Don't say that later will be better Now you're stuck in a moment And you can't get out of it
I will not forsake The colors that you bring The nights you filled with fireworks They left you with nothing I am still enchanted By the light you brought to me I listen through your ears Through your eyes I can see
And you are such a fool To worry like you do I know it's tough And you can never get enough Of what you don't really need now My, oh my
You've got to get yourself together You've got stuck in a moment And you can't get out of it Oh love, look at you now You've got yourself stuck in a moment And you can't get out of it
I was unconscious, half asleep The water is warm 'til you discover how deep I wasn't jumping, for me it was a fall It's a long way down to nothing at all
You've got to get yourself together You've got stuck in a moment And you can't get out of it
Don't say that later will be better Now you're stuck in a moment And you can't get out of it
And if the night runs over And if the day won't last And if our way should falter Along the stony pass
And if the night runs over And if the day won't last And if your way should falter Along this stony pass
You Are Not Alone Composer(s): Robert Kelly Performer(s): Michael Jackson; Ovid Alexis; Robert Avellanet; Ron Brown; Pam Hall; Rupert Parker; Diana Ross; Spectrum; Kim Waters
Another day has gone I'm still all alone How could this be You're not here with me You never said goodbye Someone tell me why Did you have to go And leave my world so cold
Everyday I sit and ask myself How did love slip away Something whispers in my ear and says That you are not alone For I am here with you Though you're far away I am here to stay
But you are not alone For I am here with you Though we're far apart You're always in my heart But you are not alone
'Lone, 'lone Why, 'lone
Just the other night I thought I heard you cry Asking me to come And hold you in my arms I can hear your prayers Your burdens I will bear But first I need your hand Then forever can begin
Everyday I sit and ask myself How did love slip away Something whispers in my ear and says That you are not alone For I am here with you Though you're far away I am here to stay
For you are not alone For I am here with you Though we're far apart You're always in my heart For you are not alone
Whisper three words and I'll come runnin' And girl you know that I'll be there I'll be there
You are not alone For I am here with you Though you're far away I am here to stay For you are not alone For I am here with you Though we're far apart You're always in my heart
For you are not alone For I am here with you Though you're far away I am here to stay
For you are not alone For I am here with you Though we're far apart You're always in my heart

Cowpunchers Cantata Composer(s): Max Bygraves Performer(s): Max Bygraves
I travelled across to America And when I arrived in America They said, Son, you know, you cant go wrong If you finish your show with a cowboy song So I practiced all day to get the song right And I dreamed of those songs all through the night
That night I heard the wild goose cry Hed got mixed up with the riders in the sky Tried to sleep, but it was in vain Have you ever tried sleeping on a mule train
Iyyyyeeeeeeiiiiiiiiioooooooowwwww!
My heart goes where the mule train goes And I must go where the mule train goes Brother goose, mother goose, dont you fear Cos Ive arrived, and to prove it Im ere
Iyyyyeeeeeeiiiiiiiiiooooooooooooooooowwwww! Aha, Yma Sumac?
The riders loped on by him, he heard one call his name If youre looking for the wild goose, hes on the mule train So cowboy mend your ways today, forget your life of sin And you will be in time to meet the shrimp boats coming in
Oyoyoyoy, giddup there, go on old paint there, go on
My heart goes where the shrimp boats go And I must go where the shrimp boats go Im gonna ride that dusty trail Cos theyve locked up my lover in Allentown jail
You know this kinda reminds me of the first time I blew into Tombstone city Yessir, that night I slept on the prairie and all night long those prairie dogs kept howlin. I couldnt understand why they kept howlin, then I found out Aint no trees on the prairie, jest cactus.
If ever the devil was born Without a pair of horns It was you, Sonny Boy
You Are My Sunshine Composer(s): Charles Mitchell; Jimmy Davis Performer(s): Bing Crosby; and various other artists

Strong In Reason Composer(s): Chris Difford - Glenn Tilbrook Performer(s): Squeeze
You get your trunks out of the drawer You see your self as once before The empty box lies on the chair Another steroid grease your hair The sun ray lamp is put away There is no reason to be afraid So fix yourself into a shape Your audience is half awake The time has come to flex your back Another day for you meat rack
Strong in vigour Strong in arm Strong with almost perfect charm Strong in tension Strong in strength Strong in almost every sense
Out on the stage the lights are green It's one step forward now you've been seen The right arm up the left arm down Open mouthed the vacant crowd Your chest of wax flips like a coin Into the rhythm into the join The ladies in the comfortable seats They look at you with eyes so deep Don't take a bow because your get the sack I'm pleased to slag you off meat rack
Strong Enough To Bend Composer(s): Beth Nielsen Chapman - Don Schlitz Performer(s): Tanya Tucker and multiple other artists
There's a tree out in the backyard That never has been broken by the wind And the reason its still standing It was strong enough to bend
For years, we have stayed together As lovers and as friends What we have will last forever If we're strong enough to bend
When you say something that you can't take back Big wind blows and you hear a little crack When you say "Hey well I might be wrong" You can sway with the wind till the storm is gone Sway with the wind till the storm is gone
Like a tree out in the backyard That never has been broken by the wind Our love will last forever If we're strong enough to bend
When you start thinkin' that you know it all Big wind blows and a branch will fall When you say "Hey this job takes two" We can sway with the wind till the skies turn blue Sway with the wind till the skies turn blue
Like a tree out in the backyard That never has been broken by the wind Our love will last forever if we're strong enough to bend Our love will last forever if we're strong enough to bend
You are my love You are the one that I adore You are my love You are what I have waited for Oh, you are my love Oh, you are my love Oh, you are my love You are my day You change my winter into spring You came my way And then my heart began to sing Oh, you are my love Oh, you are my love Oh, you are my love
Strong Enough Composer(s): Paul Barry - Mark Taylor Performer(s): Cher
I don't need your sympathy There's nothing you can say or do for me And I don't want a miracle You'll never change for no one I hear you reasons why Where did you sleep last night? And was she worth it, was she worth it?
Now I'm strong enough to live without you Strong enough and I quit crying long enough Now I'm strong enough to know you gotta go There's no more to say So save your breath And then walk away No matter what I hear you say I'm strong enough to know you gotta go
So you feel misunderstood Baby, have I got news for you One being used, I could write the book But you don't wanna hear about it
I've been losing sleep You've been going cheap She ain't worth half of me it's true Now I'm telling you
That I'm strong enough to live without you Strong enough and I quit crying long enough Now I'm strong enough to know you've gotta go
Come hell or waters high You'll never see me cry This is our last goodbye, it's true
I'm telling you
Now I'm strong enough to live without you Strong enough and I quit crying long enough Now I'm strong enough to know you gotta go There's no more to say So save your breath And then walk away No matter what I hear you say I'm strong enough to know you gotta go
