A House With Love In It Composer(s): Sylvia Dee - Sidney Lippman Performer(s): Nat King Cole and multiple other artists
A house with love in it is rich indeed Altho there are a thousand things That house may need The carpet may be old The room so plain and bare And yet, it's beautiful somehow When love is living there A house with love in it Just seems to bloom As tho the month of May Were filling ev'ry room So, darling, thru the years With all my heart I'll pray A house with love in it Is where we'll stay
You're The Only One Composer(s): Seth Justman; Peter Wolf Performer(s): J. Geils Band; Brooke Shields
It's very hard to define it Just why I feel this way There must be all kinds of reasons So many things I could say And I know I'm not mistaken This is love and that's for sure
(Chorus) You, you're the only one You're the only one You, you're the only one
There are times I remember It wasn't so long ago I was lonely, sad and confused I didn't know where to go But baby I want to tell you Just how good you make me feel
A House That Has Everything Composer(s): Roy Bennett - Sid Tepper Performer(s): Elvis Presley
I can see you now living like a queen In a house that has everything, everything but love Crystal chandeliers, chauffeured limousines Yes you'll really have everything, everything but love
I see diamonds, sables, sapphires and pearls And as the picture clears Poor little rich girl sitting all alone Counting her treasures in tears Better just a shack where two people care Than a house that has everything, everything but love
I see diamonds, sables, sapphires and pearls And as the picture clears Poor little rich girl sitting all alone Counting her treasures in tears Better just a shack where two people care Than a house that has everything, everything but love Than a house that has everything, everything but love
You're The One That I Want Composer(s): John Farrar Performer(s): Olivia Newton-John & John Travolta
I got chills They're multiplyin' And I'm losin' control 'Cause the power you're suplyin' it's electrifyin'!
You better shape up 'Cause I need a man and my heart is set on you You better shape up you better understand to my heart I must be true

Are you sure? Yes, I'm sure down deep inside
You're the one that I want You, o,o, oo, honey The one that I want You, o,o, oo, honey The one that I want You, oo, oo are what I need Oh, yes indeed
A House Of Hopes And Dreams Composer(s): Peter Sinfield Performer(s): Peter Sinfield
Across the floor lie broken bowls of pride Unlatch the door and scratch holes in the night She'll be there someday, tides turn, winds change You know, Oh you know
A house of hopes and dreams I built one too Drunk on gypsy violins like you Ran naked through the flames and burnt like you
Unbuttoned times when two laid down as one Eyes on eyes where catherine wheels spun Now every stale day is a haywire highway Alone, so alone
A house of hopes and dreams I built one too Danced upon the tables just like you Swam the sea of dreams and drowned like you
The cave of tears you choked and almost cried Emotions horse's roped and staked inside Never could show her but somehow hoped to know her Again, again, again to build A house of hopes and dreams upon a pack of painted cards To build a house of hopes and dreams with bricks of loaded dice To build a house of hopes and dreams with roulette wheels for stairs To build a house of hopes and dreams Secured and bound with love With love, with love, with love, with love Build strong and sure with love ...
You're The One Composer(s): Petula Clark; Tony Hatch Performer(s): The Vogues
Every time we meet Everything is sweet Ooh, you're so tender I must surrender My love is your love Now and forever
You're the one that I long to kiss Baby, you're the one that I really miss You're the one that I'm dreaming of Baby, you're the one that I love
Keep me in your heart Never let us part Ooh, never leave me Please don't deceive me I want you only You must believe me
You're the one that I long to kiss Baby, you're the one that I really miss You're the one that I'm dreaming of Baby, you're the one that I love
I adore you And no one before you Could make me feel this way Since I met you I just can't forget you I love you more each day
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
There may be some tears Through the coming years Ooh, all the while I know you'll be smilin' You love will guide me Though every mile 'cause
You're the one that I long to kiss Baby, you're the one that I really miss You're the one that I'm dreaming of Baby, you're the one that I love (repeat to fade)
A House Needs A Roof Composer(s): Tony Banks Performer(s): Tony Banks
Wandering in a daze Through a cold mechanical maze I am lost and confused I am always the loser You tell me theres a place Where I can be alive
Is it near is it far is it somewhere between This land you say exists that Ive never seen Call me please talk to me tell me the truth I need to believe like a house needs a roof Is it strange is it wonderful I need to know Do you have a picture that you can show The minute to capture the moment has come The minute to capture the moment has come
Its easy to believe But less easy to imagine Ive grown so used to not coping Waiting eternally hoping Wishes come and go But this one will stay I know Could the time for adventure be Just around the corner
Is it near is it far is it somewhere between The land you say exists that Ive never seen Call me please talk to me tell me the truth I need to believe like a house needs a roof Is it strange is it wonderful I need to know Do you have a picture that you can show The minute to capture the moment has come The minute to capture the moment has come
I wonder if its true Do I put my faith in you Do I risk one more failure To add to this tale Or do I turn my back And slowly walk away Please tell me if you know
Is it near is it far is it somewhere between The land you say exists that Ive never seen Call me please talk to me tell me the truth I need to believe like a house needs a roof Is it strange is it wonderful I need to know Do you have a picture that you can show The minute to capture the moment has come The minute to capture the moment has come
A House Is Not A Home Composer(s): Burt Bacharach - Hal David First release by: Brook Benton - 1964 Covered by multiple other artists
Titles In Other Languages: 1964 - Un Toit Ne Suffit Pas (by Les Surfs) 1972 - Et Hus Er Ik' Et Hjem (by Ulla Neumann)
A chair is still a chair Even when there's no one sitting there But a chair is not a house And a house is not a home When there's no one there to hold you tight And no one there you can kiss good night
A room is still a room Even when there's nothing there but gloom But a room is not a house And a house is not a home When the two of us are far apart And one of us has a broken heart
Now and then I call your name And suddenly your face appears But it's just a crazy game When it ends it ends in tears
Darling, have a heart Don't let one mistake keep us apart I'm not meant to live alone Turn this house into a home When I climb the stair and turn the key Oh, please be there still in love with me
A Horse With No Name ((German Version: Ein Mensch Ohne Namen (P. Bernd)) Composer(s): Dewey Bunnell First release by: America - 1971 Covered by multiple other artists
On the first part of the journey I was looking at all the life There were plants and birds and rocks and things There was sand and hills and rings The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz And the sky with no clouds The heat was hot and the ground was dry But the air was full of sound
I've been through the desert on a horse with no name It felt good to be out of the rain In the desert you can remember your name 'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain La, la ...
After two days in the desert sun My skin began to turn red After three days in the desert fun I was looking at a river bed And the story it told of a river that flowed Made me sad to think it was dead
You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name It felt good to be out of the rain In the desert you can remember your name 'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain La, la ...
After nine days I let the horse run free 'Cause the desert had turned to sea There were plants and birds and rocks and things there was sand and hills and rings The ocean is a desert with it's life underground And a perfect disguise above Under the cities lies a heart made of ground But the humans will give no love
You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name It felt good to be out of the rain In the desert you can remember your name 'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain La, la ...

A Hole To Hide In Composer(s): Roger Earl - Lonesome Dave Peverett - Rod Price Performer(s): Foghat
Woke up this mornin' and I crawled out of bed I made a cup of coffee just to clear my head I felt all right 'til I looked on the floor There was a pile of bills stacked against the door I went in the kitchen and drank another cup I sat down at the table and added it up When I discovered how much I owe I said, ooh, ooh, it's time to go
Mailman stay away from my door Got too many bills I don't need no more I don't know what I'm gonna do, but while I'm deciding To save my soul, I'm going to find me a hole to hide in
Everyday it's the same old thing I know in advance what the man's gonna bring Registered letters from all over town Those final reminders are gettin' me down I once had money, but it's all been spent And now the landlord said he needs the rent Telephone company cuttin' off my phone Why don't they all just leave me alone?
Mailman keep away from my door Got too many bills I don't need no more I don't know what I'm gonna do, but while I'm deciding To save my soul, I'm going to find me a hole to hide in
Mailman, stay away from my door Mailman stay away from my door Mailman stay away from my door Mailman yea, stay away from my door, whoo

A Hole To Fill
Composer(s): Bob Geldof
Performer(s): Bob Geldof
Everybody's got a hole to fill
It doesn't matter if your name is Jack or Jill
Everybody's got a hole that they need filled
She wakes up
Still looking lost
And says what's the point of this
And I say not a lot
Still she gets up
And through her weary smile
She tries to find the strength
To carry on a while
Two days ago
She wrote away
To a mail order guru
Her postal sage
Who promised answers
By return of mail
Explaining why
Sometimes it seems
The world has failed
He wrote back
I left the pub last night
And I was just in time
To see them break my windows
And slash my tyres
I'm a liberal I thought
As I felt my anger rise
I was desperately searching
For my feminine side
But my feminine side
Was on her morning coffee break
I beat the shit out of one
And boy, I felt great
Hey Bob, he said don't get annoyed
We all find different ways
To fill up the void
And I said yeah
A Higher Place Composer(s): Tom Petty Performer(s): Tom Petty
We gotta get to a higher place And we gotta leave by night Before that river takes us down We gotta find somewhe re that's dry We gotta run like we never run Or we're gonna lose the light If we don't get to a higher place and Find somebody, can help somebody Might be nobody no more
We gotta get to a higher place And I hope we all arrive together We gotta get to a higher place If we wanna survive the weather
Well, I fool myself and I don't know why I thought we could ride this out I was up all night making up my mind But now I got my doubts I got my eye on the waterline Trying to keep my sense of humor But if we don't get to a higher place and Find somebody, can help somebody Might be nobody no more
We gotta get to a higher place And I hope we all arrive together We gotta get to a higher place If we wanna survive the weather
I remember walking with her in town Her hair was in the wind I gave her my best kiss She gave it back again When I add up what I've left behind I don 't want to lose no more But if we don't get to a higher place and Find somebody, can help somebody Might be nobody no more
