Accidents Never Happen
Composer(s): Jimmy Destri
First release by: Blondie - 1979



No, I don't believe in luck
No, I don't believe in circumstance no more
Accidents never happen in a perfect world, so I won't believe in luck
I saw you walking in the dark, so I slipped behind your footsteps for a while
Caught you turning 'round the block...
Fancy meeting in a smaller world
After all, accidents never happen
Could have planned it all
Precognition in my ears
Accidents never happen in a perfect world
Complications disappear
Now you love me
I, yeah, I can tell
I never lied
I never cried
And you, you knew so well
Like the Magi on the hill, I can divinate your presence from afar
And I'll follow you until I can bring you to a perfect world
Accidents never happen in a perfect world
Accidents never happen

Wedding Song (There Is Love)

First release by: Noel Paul Stookey - 1971
Covered by multiple other artists

Version In Other Languages:
1974 - C'est L'amour - Nana Mouskouri
1983 - 'K Hou Van Jou (Bonnie St. Claire)



He is now to be among you
at the calling of your hearts
Rest assured this troubadour
is acting on His part

The union of your spirits here
has caused Him to remain
For whenever two or more of you
are gathered in His name
There is Love, there is Love 

Well, a man shall leave his mother
and a woman leave her home
They shall travel on to where
the two shall be as one

As it was in the beginning
is now and till the end
Woman draws her life from man
and gives it back again
There is Love, there is Love 

Well, there must have been a reason
for becoming man and wife
Is it love that brings it here
or Love that brings you life? 

(Is it law that brings you here
or Love that gives you life?) 

For if Loving is the answer
then who's the giving for?
Do you believe in something
that you've never seen before?
Oh, there is Love
Oh, there's Love 

Oh, the marriage (union) of your spirits here
has caused Him to remain
For whenever two or more of you
are gathered in His name
There is Love, there is Love

Accidentally On Purpose
Composer(s): Darrell Edwards - George Jones
Performer(s): George Jones
and multiple other artists



In the papers I saw you this morning
You were lovely, dressed in your wedding gown
And it said you would marry a stranger to me
That had drifted into our old home town

Accident'ly, you met him one ev'ning
And you say it was love at first sight
Accident'ly on purpose you're marryin'
Accident'ly on purpose, for spite

For you say that you saw me out painting the town
That I was just a fool with the heart of a clown
Accident'ly, you were mistaken that night
Accident'ly on purpose, for spite

Yes, you say that you saw me out painting the town
That I was just a fool with the heart of a clown
Accident'ly, you were mistaken that night
Accident'ly on purpose, for spite 

Wedding Bells (Are Breaking Up That Old Gang Of Mine)
Performer(s): The Four Aces;
and various other artists



(Those wedding bells are breakin' up)
(That old gang of mine)

Not a soul down on the corner
That's a pretty certain sign
That wedding bells are breakin' up
That old gang of mine

All the boys are singin' love songs
They forgot Sweet Adeline
Those wedding bells are breakin' up
That old gang of mine

Their goes Jack, their goes Jim
Down to lovers' lane
Now and then we meet again
But they don't seem the same

Gee, I get a lonesome feelin'
When I hear the church bells chime
Those wedding bells are breakin' up
That old gang of mine

(Not a soul down on the corner)
(That's a pretty certain sign)
That wedding bells are breakin' up
That old gang of mine

(All the boys are singin' love songs)
(They forgot Sweet Adeline)
Those wedding bells are breakin' up
That old gang of mine

Their goes Jack, their goes Jim
Down to lovers' lane
Now and then we meet again
But they don't seem the same

Gee, I get a lonesome feelin'
When I hear the church bells chime
Those wedding bells are breakin' up
That old gang of mine

Those wedding bells are breakin' up
That old gang of mine

Accident Prone
Composer(s): Pip Williams - Pete Hutchins
Performer(s): Status Quo



I'm a lay-by lover
And you're just another
Who just wants to hit and run
Now your on your own
'Cos I'm accident prone
And I hope that you have your fun

They say the devil loves his own
And lady you just got the roll
He drives you modus-operandi
Well lady you don't get this soul
What you call love I can't take no more
Go knock on someone else's door

I'm a lay-by lover
And you're just another
Who just wants to hit and run
Now your on your own
'Cos I'm accident prone
And I hope that you have your fun

'Cos you specialise your own kind of lies
Lady you just hit and run
I just wanna say you keep driving that way
And one day you will be undone

I try to love you my way
But lady you just wouldn't slow down
You drove a right on through me
When other guys came around
What you call love wouldn't give to a stray
I wouldn't treat a dog that way

I'm a lay-by lover
And you're just another
Who just wants to hit and run
Now your on your own
'Cos I'm accident prone
And I hope that you have your fun

'Cos you specialise your own kind of lies
Lady you just hit and run
I just wanna say you keep driving that way
And one day you will be undone

One day you'll have to slow down
And lady it could be too late
You keep on acceleratin'
And lady I could see your fate
No-one wants a second-hand car
They know it been push too far

I'm a lay-by lover
And you're just another
Who just wants to hit and run
Now your on your own
'Cos I'm accident prone
And I hope that you have your fun

'Cos you specialise your own kind of lies
Lady you just hit and run
You're draggin'me down with this riding around
And one day you will be undone

I'm a lay-by lover
And you're just another
Who just wants to hit and run
Now your on your own
'Cos I'm accident prone
And I hope that you have your fun

Wedding Bells
Composer(s): Claude Boone
Performer(s): Bill Carlisle
and multiple other artists



I have the invitation that you sent me
You wanted me to see you change your name
I couldn't stand to see you wed another
But, dear, I hope you're happy just the same
Wedding bells are ringing in the chapel
That should be ringing out for you and me
Down the aisle with someone else you're walking
Those wedding bells will never ring for me
I planned a little cottage in the valley
I even bought a little band of gold
I hoped someday I'd place it on your finger
But now the future looks so dark and cold
Wedding bells are ringing in the chapel
I hear the children laughing out with glee
At home alone I hang my head in sorrow
Those wedding bells will never ring for me
I fancy that I see a bunch of roses
A blossom from an orange tree in your hair
While the organ plays 'I love you truly'
Please let me pretend that I am there
Wedding bells they say will ring in Heaven
As the angel chorus sweetly sings
But as long as I am on this earth, dear
Those wedding bells for me will never ring

Ac-Cen-Tchu-Ate the Positive
Composer(s): Johnny Mercer - Harold Arlen
First performance/First recording by: Bing Crosby & Sonny Tufts - 1944/Oscar Peterson - 1954
Covered by multiple other artists



You've gotta ac-cen-tchu-ate the positive, eli-mi-nate the negative
Latch on to the affirmative, don't mess with Mister In-between
You gotta spread joy up to the maximum, bring gloom down to the minimum
Have faith or pandemonium's li'ble to walk upon the scene
To illustrate my last remark, Jonah in the whale, Noah in the Ark
What did theyou do just when everything looked so dark
Man, they said we better
Ac-cen-tchu-ate the positive, eli-mi-nate the negative
Latch on to the affirmative, don't mess with Mister In-between
Don't mess with Mister In-between

Bill, I love you so, I always will
I look at you and see the passion eyes of May
Oh, but am I ever gonna see my wedding day

Oh, I was on your side Bill when you were losin'
I'd never scheme or lie Bill, there'd been no foolin'
But kisses and love won't carry me until you marry me Bill

I love you so, I always will 
And in your voice I hear a choir of carousels
Ah, but am I ever gonna hear my wedding bells

I was the one who came runnin' when you were lonely
I haven't lived one day not lovin' you only
But kisses and love won't carry me until you marry me Bill

I love you so, I always will
And though devotion rules my heart I take no bows 
Ah, but Bill you know I wanna take those wedding vows
Come on Bill, come on Bill

Kisses and love won't carry me until you marry me Bill
I love you so, I always will
Come on Bill

Wont'cha marry me Bill
I love you so, I always will
Come on Bill

Wont'cha marry me Bill

Acaso
Performer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute



Acaso una mirada me bastara
mirarte y encontrar una palabra
nada

Tu nada con la mía entre las cosas
decirse dos silencios infinitos
juntar las bocas
abrir los grifos
que inunden nuestros hijos las alcobas

Acaso una mirada me bastara
mirarte y encontrar una palabra
nada

Que el tiempo no dependa de las horas
que sólo nos apuren los latidos
quemar las ropas
sudar tomillo
desnudos comulgar con la escayola

Acaso una mirada me bastara
mirarte y encontrar una mirada
nada

Perderse en una fiebre sin memoria
que nadie nos rescate del instinto
romper parodias
hacerse añicos
residuos de una absurda ceremonia

Acaso una mirada me bastara
mirarte y encontrar una palabra
nada

Weather Report Suite
Composer(s): Eric Anderson; John Perry Barlow; Bob Weir
Performer(s): Grateful Dead



Winter rain, now tell me why
Summers fade, and roses die
The answer came 
The wind and rain

Golden hills, now veiled in grey
Summer leaves have blown away
Now what remains? 
The wind and rain

And like a desert spring 
My lover comes and spreads her wings
Knowing, like a song that's born to soar the sky
Flowing, flowing 'til the waters all are dry
Growing, the loving in her eyes

Circle songs and sands of time 
Seasons will end in tumbled rhyme
And little change, the wind and rain

And like a desert spring
My lover comes and spreads her wings
Knowing, Like a song that's born to soar the sky
Flowing, Flowing 'til the rivers all are dry
Growing, the loving in her eyes

Winter gray and falling rain 
We'll see summer come again
Darkness falls and seasons change 
(gonna happen every time)
Same old friends the wind and rain
(we'll see summer by and by)
Winter gray and falling rain
(summers fadeand roses die)
We'll see summer come again
Like a song that's born to soar the sky

Acapulco Sun
Composer(s): Ned Albright - Steven Soles
Performer(s): The Monkees



Acapulco sun, leaving work undone
Dream about the nighttime till she comes
She'll take my hand and walk with me
Down along the sea
Hear the pretty song she sings for free
She sings songs of love so sweet (oh so sweet)
And the words she's saying are so simple and complete
"I love you, truly do"

Acapulco sun, tells me she's the one
Dream about the sunset till she comes
She'll take my hand and walk with me
Down along the sea
Hear the pretty song she sings for free
She sings songs of love so sweet (oh so sweet)
And the words she's saying are so simple and complete
"I love you, truly do"

Acapulco sun, leaving work undone
Dream about the nightttime till she comes

Wearin' O' The Green
(Traditional)



"O Paddy dear, and did ye hear the news that's goin' round?
The shamrock is by law forbid to grow on Irish ground!
No more Saint Patrick's Day we'll keep, his color can't be seen
For there's a cruel law ag'in the Wearin' o' the Green" 

I met with Napper Tandy, and he took me by the hand
And he said, "How's poor old Ireland, and how does she stand?"
"She's the most distressful country that ever yet was seen
For they're hanging men and women there for the Wearin' o' the Green" 

"So if the color we must wear be England's cruel red
Let it remind us of the blood that Irishmen have shed
And pull the shamrock from your hat, and throw it on the sod
But never fear, 'twill take root there, though underfoot 'tis trod

When laws can stop the blades of grass from growin' as they grow
And when the leaves in summer-time their color dare not show
Then I will change the color too I wear in my caubeen
But till that day, please God, I'll stick to the Wearin' o' the Green"

Acapulco Goldie
Composer(s): Shel Silverstein
Performer(s): Dr. Hook & the Medicine Show



(Hey play the guitars)
(I love to hear the guitars play)
(Oh I love to sing, I love to sing)

She was dancing when I seen her, in a Mexican cantina
In a neighbourhood they call La Zona Roja (hahahaha)
She had a child's smile, but she told me, in a while
It would take a lot of gold to get to know her (Oh)

Acapulco Goldie, donde did you go
You said you'd always hold me
But you run away with me Acapulco gold

(Oh that's a terrible thing you did)

I knew there's no-one cuter, then she said she was a puta
I said "What does puta mean?" Hmm and so she told me... (Oh no)
Then we went to meet a dealer, we smoked and drank tequila
Then the lights went out and I guess that's where she rolled me (just like)

Acapulco Goldie, por que did you go?
You said you'd always hold me
But you vamos away with me Acapulco gold
Yes, you run away with me Acapulco gold

(Oh Goldie)
(How can you do these things to me?)
(Where's my gun?)
(Who took my gun?)
(On no, I don't feel good)
(I don't feel good babe)
(Start the guitars)
(Start the guitars)

Nanana, nanana, na, we're heading for the road
Following the sun to Mexico
Nanana, nanana, na, gotta leave this New York cold
Check out without control, look for Acapulco gold

Everybody tells me the sun is shining there
Lots of groovy people everywhere
We don't need much money, enough to pay the fare
I could tie my woman, living without a care
I'm singing

Nanana, nanana, na, we're heading for the road
Following the sun to Mexico
Nanana, nanana, na, gotta leave this New York cold
Check out without control, look for Acapulco gold

Women in the market, baskets on their head
Everything you need to feel alright
Pretty senoritas strolling in the slare
Marihage playing, singing without a care
I hear them

Nanana, nanana, na, we're heading for the road
Following the sun to Mexico
Nanana, nanana, na, gotta leave this New York cold
Check out without control, look for Acapulco gold

Nanana, nanana, na, we're heading for the road
Following the sun to Mexico
Nanana, nanana, na, gotta leave this New York cold
Check out without control, look for Acapulco gold

Nanana, nanana, na, we're heading for the road
Following the sun to Mexico
Nanana, nanana, na, gotta leave this New York cold

Wear My Ring Around Your Neck
Composer(s): Bert Carroll; Russell Moody
Performer(s): Elvis Presley;
and various other artists



Won't you wear my ring up around your neck
To tell the world I'm yours, by heck
Let them see your love for me
And let them see by the ring around your neck

Won't you wear my ring up around your neck
To tell the world I'm yours, by heck
Let them know I love you so
And let them know by the ring around your neck

They say that going steady is not the proper thing
They say that we're too young to know the meaning of a ring
I only know I love you and that you love me too
So, darling, please do what I ask of you

Won't you wear my ring around your neck
To tell the world I'm yours, by heck
Let them see your love for me
And let them see by the ring around your neck

Won't you wear my ring around your neck
To tell the world I'm yours, by heck
Let them know I love you so
And let them know by the ring around your neck

Acapulco
Performer(s): Luis Mariano



Je me souviendrai d'Acapulco
Et j'entendrai comme un écho
Cette musique
Et sous d'autres cieux
Loin du paradis que l'on trouve ici
Je regretterai la volupté
L'enchantement des nuits d'été
Du pacifique
Tous les jours heureux
Dont le souvenir
Ne saurait mourir

Quand la chanson du vent
Se mêle doucement
Au bruit de l'océan
De ces deux mélodies
Naît une symphonie
Que jamais on oublie

Je me souviendrai d'Acapulco
Et quand voguera mon bateau
Loin du Mexique
Je n'aurai bientôt
Plus qu'un seul désir
C'est d'y revenir

Pays, pays d'amour
Depuis le premier jour
J'ai retrouvé par toi
Le bonheur et la joie

Je me souviendrai d'Acapulco
Et j'entendrai comme un écho
Cette musique
Et sous d'autres cieux
Loin du paradis que l'on trouve ici
Je regretterai la volupté
L'enchantement des nuits d'été
Du pacifique
Tous les jours heureux
Dont le souvenir
Ne saurait mourir

Sous le soleil couchant
C'est un ravissement
C'est l'heure des amants
Les fleurs ont des couleurs
Les femmes une fraîcheur
Qu'elles n'ont pas ailleurs

Je me souviendrai d'Acapulco
Et quand voguera mon bateau
Loin du Mexique
Je n'aurai bientôt
Plus qu'un seul désir
C'est d'y revenir

Acapulco, Acapulco

We, Your Dearest Friends
Composer(s): Carly Simon
Performer(s): Carly Simon



We, your dearest friends
Are having dinner without you 
We're witty and we use it to be vicious 
In just another minute 
We'll be laughing about you 
To the untrained eye
It wouldn't look suspicious 

We, your dearest friends 
Don't really care if you have needs 
Your hopes and dreams 
Are trivial by our standards 
We make fun of how you sing 
And then we imitate your speech 
And the stupid things 
You say we like to slander 

But we won't reel you out too far 
'Cause after all, we need you for 
Our ongoing quest 

We've bonded here in faithlessness 
To undermine your happiness 
Toying with your paranoia 
Everything you do annoys us 
It annoys us 

We remember how 
You bought us all those gifts 
You liked to make us think 
You were so generous 
Be careful in the future 
Of everything you say and do 
`Cause it can and will be used 
Against you by us 

We your dearest friends 
Judge you "guilty" 
Here and now 
Of thinking you're a star 
When it's all over 
Nobody wants you
And we the least of all 
It's been a long time since 
You had those famous lovers 

But we won't reel you out too far 
`Cause after all, we need you for 
Our ongoing quest 

We've bonded here 
In faithlessness 
To undermine your happiness 
Toying with your paranoia 
Everything you do annoys us
(it annoys the hell out of us) 

It's not the straw 
No, it's the final straw you'll say 
Finally you've grown a sturdy backbone 
There'll be no invitation to 
Your rocky coast this year 
Your queenly voice will 
Ice us down the telephone 

You'll never guess who's joining us 
For brandy later on 
That's right, it's your bête noir from hell
That's who 
Are you worried we might spill the beans 
Are you worried we might tell 
About your little visit to the bin when 
You were cuckoo? 

But we won't reel you out too far 
`Cause after all, we need you for 
Our ongoing quest 

We've bonded here in faithlessness 
To undermine your happiness 
Toying with your paranoia 
Everything you do annoys us
It annoys us 

Toying with your paranoia 

You have an unforgiveable personality 
Unforgettable, yes 
We were so happy once in the Garden of 
The Finzi-Continis 
Oh, yes we were 
Never more, never more 
Here comes the waiter
We'll just put it on your house charge 
You'll never know the difference 
Never notice

Acalanto Para Um Punhal
Composer(s): Robertinho de Recife - Herman Torres - Fausto Nilo
Performer(s): Raimundo Fagner



Dorme bandoleiro
Dorme punhal, coração
Dos irmãos dos cavalos
Ponta de sal na raiz dos gemidos

Arma branca das trevas
Invejará o ardor
Do teu aço na flor
Que esconde a beleza em profundas crateras

Sangue na prata da lua
Fere a paixão no capim
Dorme em leito carmim

Clarão, violão
Mesmo sol de Sevilha

Acordarás com meu grito
Rasga o silêncio do amor
Mancha o leito de dor
Punhal, coração
Amanhece a campina

We Work The Black Seam
Composer(s): Sting
Performer(s): Sting; Pat Kilbride



This place has changed for good
Your economic theory said it would
It's hard for us to understand
We can't give up our jobs the way we should
Our blood has stained the coal
We tunneled deep inside the nation's soul
We matter more than pounds and pence
Your economic theory makes no sense

One day in a nuclear age
They may understand our rage
They build machines that they can't control
And bury the waste in a great big hole
Power was to become cheap and clean
Grimy faces were never seen
But deadly for twelve thousand years is carbon fourteen
We work the black seam together

The seam lies underground
Three million years of pressure packed it down
We walk through ancient forest lands
And light a thousand cities with our hands
Your dark satanic mills
Have made redundant all our mining skills
You can't exchange a six inch band
For all the poisoned streams in Cumberland

One day in a nuclear age
They may understand our rage
They build machines that they can't control
And bury the waste in a great big hole
Power was to become cheap and clean
Grimy faces were never seen
But deadly for twelve thousand years is carbon fourteen
We work the black seam together

Our conscious lives run deep
You cling onto your mountain while we sleep
This way of life is part of me
The is no price so only let me be
And should the children weep
The turning world will sing their souls to sleep
When you have sunk without a trace
The universe will suck me into place

One day in a nuclear age
They may understand our rage
They build machines that they can't control
And bury the waste in a great big hole
Power was to become cheap and clean
Grimy faces were never seen
But deadly for twelve thousand years is carbon fourteen
We work the black seam together
