Sugar Mice Composer(s): Derek William Dick - Mark Kelly - Ian Mosley - Steve Rothery - Pete Trewavas Performer(s): Marillion; Chaneton; Fish
I was flicking through the channels on the tv On a sunday in milwaukee in the rain Trying to piece together conversations Trying to find out where to lay the blame
But when it comes right down to it there's no use trying to pretend For when it gets right down to it there's no one here that's left to blame Blame it on me, you can blame it on me We're just sugar mice in the rain
I heard sinatra calling me through the floorboards Where you pay a quarter for a partnership in rhyme To the jukebox crying in the corner While the waitress is counting out the time
For when it comes right down to it there's no use trying to pretend For when it gets right down to it there's no one really left to blame Blame it on me, you can blame it on me We're just sugar mice in the rain
'cause I know what I feel, know what I want I know what I am Daddy took a raincheck Cos I know what I want, know what I feel I know what I need Daddy took a raincheck, your daddy took a raincheck Ain't no one in here that's left to blame but me Blame it on me, blame it on me
Well the toughest thing that I ever did was talk to the kids on the phone When I heard them asking questions I knew that that you were all alone Can't you understand that the government left me out of work I just couldn't stand the looks on their faces saying, what a jerk
So if you want my address it's number one at the end of the bar Where I sit with the broken angels clutching at straws and nursing our scars Blame it on me, blame it on me Sugar mice in the rain Your daddy took a raincheck, your daddy took a raincheck
You Could've Heard A Heart Break Composer(s): Mark Rossi Performer(s): Johnny Lee
Behind the bar I see some crazy things I watch those disappearing wedding rings A telephone call pagin' so and so There he is shakin' his head no 'Cause he's got this girl hangin' all over him He can't quit now, he's gone out on a limb Then the place turns quiet as a mummy's tomb Guess who happened to walk in the room
You could've heard a heart break You could've heard a tear drop I feel so bad for her sake Now what's she gonna do The chances that a fool takes Never knowin' when to stop You could've heard a heart break Breakin' right in two
She walks on over Tears in her eyes And knows she's gonna hear a pack of lies The silence is deafening All eyes are on her What will she say to that innocent girl Her hands start shakin' 'Cause the words don't come She's in shock, her whole body is numb Everyone there is holdin' their breath With the slightest whisper, we'll know what she says
You could've heard a heart break You could've heard a tear drop I feel so bad for her sake Now what's she gonna do The chances that a fool takes Never knowin' when to stop You could've heard a heart break Breakin' right in two
You could've heard a heart break You could've heard a tear drop I feel so bad for her sake Now what's she gonna do The chances that a fool takes Never knowin' when to stop You could've heard a heart break Breakin' right in two
Sugar Me ((German Version: Komm Doch (by Alexandra Friedmann - 1972)) Composer(s): Lynsey De Paul - Barry Blue First release by: Lynsey De Paul - 1972 Covered by multiple other artists
One for you and one for me But one and one and one Pardon me - comes to three Looking sweet and all the while Hid behind the smile was saccharine I'm a go between
Save me, save me Baby, baby sugar me Gotta get my candy free Sugar me by day Sugar me my baby, baby sugar me Gotta get my candy free Sugar me by day, sugar me by night Sugar sugar sugar sugar sugar sugar sugar
Count me in from one to two But nothing more or less will do Just me and you Honey sweet and harmony Will melt away the bitter memory It's gotta be
Save me, save me Baby, baby sugar me I gotta get my candy free Sugar me by day Sugar me my baby, baby sugar me I gotta get my candy free Sugar me by day, sugar me my night Sugar sugar sugar sugar
You Couldn't Be Cuter Composer(s): Jerome Kern; Dorothy Fields Performer(s): Margaret Whiting; and various other artists
(You couldn't be nicer Couldn't be sweeter Couldn't be better Couldn't be smarter Couldn't be cuter baby than you are)
Your poise! Your pose! That cute fantastic nose! You're mighty like a knock-out, You're mighty like a rose! I'm sold, I'm hooked! The well known goose is cooked! You got me little fella I'm sunk! I'm gone! I'm hooked!
You couldn't be cuter Plus that you couldn't be smarter Plus that intelligent face you have A disgraceful charm for me
You couldn't be keener You look so fresh from the cleaner You are the little grand slam I'll bring to my family
My ma will show you an album Of me that will bore you to tears! And you'll attract all the relatives We have dodged for years and years
And what'll they tell me? Exactly what'll they tell me? They'll say you couldn't be nicer, Couldn't be sweeter, couldn't be better Couldn't be smoother, couldn't be cuter Baby, than you are!
Sugar Magnolia Composer(s): Robert Hunter - Bob Weir First release by: The Grateful Dead - 1970
Sugar magnolia, blossoms blooming, heads all empty and I don't care Saw my baby down by the river, knew she'd have to come up soon for air
Sweet blossom come on, under the willow, we can have high times if you'll abide We can discover the wonders of nature, rolling in the rushes down by the riverside
She's got everything delightful, she's got everything I need Takes the wheel when I'm seeing double, pays my ticket when I speed
She comes skimmin' through rays of violet, she can wade in a drop of dew She don't come and I don't follow, waits backstage while I sing to you
Well, she can dance a Cajun rhythm, jump like a willys in four wheel drive She's a summer love for spring, fall and winter. She can make happy any man alive
Sugar magnolia, ringing that bluebell, caught up in sunlight, come on out singing I'll walk you in the sunshine, come on honey, come along with me
She's got everything delightful, she's got everything I need A breeze in the pines and the sun and bright moonlight, lazing in the sunshine yes indeed
Sometimes when the cuckoo's crying, when the moon is half way down Sometimes when the night is dying, I take me out and I wander around, I wander 'round
Sunshine, daydream, walking in the tall trees, going where the wind goes Blooming like a red rose, breathing more freely Ride our singin', I'll walk you in the morning sunshine Sunshine, daydream. Sunshine, daydream. Walking in the sunshine
You Comb Her Hair Composer(s): Hank Cochran; Harlan Howard Performer(s): George Jones; Jim Ed Brown; Johnny Cash; Del Reeves; The Statler Brothers
I know that you wonder who I dream about And if I've met someone who thrills me so Well, I finally met a girl who turns me inside out I'll tell you about her, for you ought to know
You comb her hair ev'ry mornin' And make sure she's dressed just right You comb her hair ev'ry mornin' And put her to bed ev'ry night
When she's around me, sometimes I can hardly speak I stammer and I walk right into doors And just to hold her hand in mine makes me feel weak Oh, you know her, honey, don't you know it's you
You comb her hair ev'ry mornin' And make sure she's dressed just right You comb her hair ev'ry mornin' And put her to bed ev'ry night
Sugar In Your Coffee Composer(s): Ray Griff Performer(s): Bill Anderson
I came downstairs and found the morning paper by my plate A glass of orange juice waitin' there for me I looked across the table and I saw the sweetest face And she smiled at me and then I heard to say Do you want sugar in your coffee honey on your toast Or baby would you rather that I hold you close Do you want scrambled eggs and bacon a bowl of shredded wheet Do you want sugar in your coffee or loving warm and sweet I watched her as she moved and knew that she was heaven sent I lived again sweet memories in my head I never knew real happiness or what it really meant Until my baby turned to me and said Do you want sugar in your coffee honey on your toast Or baby would you rather that I hold you close Do you want fingertips to touch you and kisses on your cheek Do you want sugar in your coffee or loving warm and sweet Do you want sugar in your coffee...
You Can't Talk Composer(s): David Bowie Reeves Gabrels; Hunt Sales; Tony Sales Performer(s): Tin Machine
Beauty shrieks "Beast in booties" Coming home so lay the table Look at you calling shots Call you over under out
I was under, backwards, forwards Holding hands in the dark Kissing some, kissing cousins Kissing this in cover Kissing cousins, kissing that
Over under out Over under out Over under out
(Chorus) You can't talk You can't see me drowning You can't talk I don't see you swimming You can't talk You want go your way You can't talk I know you don't love me
Look at this heart's a poppin' Guess it's over Crazy action mine's a breakin' Guess it's over (Here we go)
(Chorus)
Oh-oh-oh
Beauty shrieks 'Beast in booties' Coming home so lay the table Look at you calling shots Call you over under out I was under, backwards, forwards Holding hands in the dark Kissing some, kissing cousins Kissing this
(Chorus) (twice)
You can't talk (twice) I know you don't love me (repeat ad infinitum)

Oma kultasein, söpö kultasein en pahaa sulle tehdä vois oma kultasein, söpö kultasein siis pyyhi kyyneleet pois
Kun tiennyt en, noiden lauseiden sua loukanneen, kuuluu kyyneleet kaiken minkä teet, vain rakkauteen
Oma kultasein, söpö kultasein en pahaa sulle tehdä vois oma kultasein, söpö kultasein siis pyyhi kyyneleet pois
Jos rakastaa, antaa ja myös saa anteeksi kaiken, unohtaa
Luota rakkauteen, luota tunteeseen kun sen ymmärtää, niin pois huolet jää
You Can't Stop Rock 'N' Roll Composer(s): Dee Snider Performer(s): Twisted Sister
Here it comes, you're never gonna top it On a run, no way you can stop it Total style, perfection in decay Running wild, flat out all the way
Now you can ride it high And you can light the way Lift up your hands in praise You can't stop rock 'n' roll You can't stop rock 'n' roll You can't stop rock 'n' roll
Like a charging bull, it's a juggernaut With steam at full, never to be caught Incarnate power, roaring from the sky While others cower, rock ain't gonna die
Now you can ride it high And you can light the way Lift up your hands in praise You can't stop rock 'n' roll You can't stop rock 'n' roll You can't stop rock 'n' roll
It's an angry steed On a never ending course With grace and speed It's an unrelenting force His head thrown back, defiantly proud Under constant attack It's blasting, fast and loud
Now you can ride it high And you can light the way Lift up your hands in praise You can't stop rock 'n' roll You can't stop rock 'n' roll You can't stop rock 'n' roll
Can't stop, can't you stop it Can't stop you can't stop it Can't stop, can't you stop it Can't stop you can't stop it Can't stop, can't you stop it Can't stop you can't stop it Can't stop, can't you stop it Can't stop you can't stop it

Suez Composer(s): Will Pancoast - Ferdie Grofé - Peter De Rose Performer(s): Fog City Stompers; The New Leviathan Oriental Foxtrot Orch.
In Old Suez, under mystic sky Near the old Red Sea, where the ships go by There where the palm trees sway Your lips and eyes plead with me to stay In
When far away, with the caravan There I pitch my tent, on the desert sand Then o'er the blazing plain, I wander back love to you again In
Suez, wond'rous Suez Where I was captured with your love sigh All day And thru the night To be with you I cry When you enfold me in your sweet loving arms I feel the thrill of all your charms Dear Suez, wond'rous Suez I lost me heart to you
You Can't Make Love Composer(s): Don Henley; Danny Kortchmar Performer(s): Don Henley
You can make money, you can make good friends You can make mistakes and you can make amends You can make it easy when push comes to shove, but You can't make love
You can make advances, you can make big plans Plant sloppy kisses all over her hands You can tell her everything you're dreamin' of, but You can't make love
Love's a little word that's been kicked around Used too much, beaten down What in the world are you thinkin' of? You can't make love
You can go through the motions with your magic spells Buy all the potions that Fifth Avenue sells You can try to call down all the stars above, but You can't make love
You can buy her diamonds, you can go out in style You can make a promise, you can walk down the aisle You can make a life for her that fits like a glove, but You can't make love
Oh it takes so long You gotta be strong Before it's gone What in the world were you thinkin' of, boy You can't make love
