Agricultural Irish Girl Composer(s): J.F. Mitchell Performer(s): Val Doonican
If all the girls in Ireland Were gathered up together There's none like my Mary Ann In every kind of weather The rain won't wash the powder off her face She doesn't wear it And her figure and face are all her own The truth I must declare it
She's a fine stout lump Of agricultural Irish girl Her face is worth a fortune And her figure is all her own She can strike that hard you would think That you were hit by the kick of a mule But the full of a house of Irish love Is Mary Ann Malone
She was never e-d-u-cated She doesn't know her letters But she's all a lady wants my boys And better than her betters She doesn't speak ital-i-an Or read the sporting papers But she knows the horse will win the race She knows the form by jabers
She was only seventeen last year But still she's growing greatly I wonder what her form will be When she fills out completely You's think your hand was in a vice The minute that she'd take it And if there's any cake at hand Tis Mary Ann will ate it
She's a fine stout lump Of agricultural Irish girl Her face is worth a fortune And her figure is all her own She can strike that hard you would think That you were hit by the kick of a mule But the full of a house of Irish love Is Mary Ann Malone
For she's a fine stout lump Of an agricultural Irish girl Her face is worth a fortune And her figure is all her But she can hit that hard....Oooh You'ld think it the kick of a mule you got The fill of your arms of Irish love Is Mary Ann Malone
When A Guitar Plays The Blues Performer(s): Albert Collins
You get the strangest kinda feelin' that's when the guitar plays the blues I say, you get the strangest kinda feelin' that's when a guitar plays the blues Your body gets the message and you know, you know, your soul has just got to move
You might even bat your eye You might even snap or cry The feelin' you're feelin' within you babe You know you just can't hide
You're kinda strokin' like that You're kinda bendin' like this And it reaches down inside you And your soul just can't resist You get the same kinda feelin' When the guitar plays the blues Your body sure gets the message Yes, you know, you know, your soul has just got to move
And when the music is over And it's time to turn out the lights You know the blues goes home with ya Soothes you through the night
You get the strange kinda feelin' When the guitar plays the blues Your body gets the message And you know, you know, you know Your soul has just got to move
Agora falando sério Eu queria não cantar A cantiga bonita Ue se acredita Que o mal espanta Dou um chute no lirismo Um pega no cachorro E um tiro no sabiá Dou um fora no violino Faço a mala e corro Pra não ver a banda passar
Agora falando sério Eu queria não mentir Não queria enganar Driblar, iludir Tanto desencanto E você que está me ouvindo Quer saber o que está havendo Com as flores do meu quintal? O amor-perfeito, traindo A sempre-viva, morrendo E a rosa, cheirando mal
Agora falando sério Preferia não falar Nada que distraísse O sono difícil Como acalanto Eu quero fazer silêncio Um silêncio tão doente Do vizinho reclamar E chamar polícia e médico E o síndico do meu prédio Pedindo pra eu cantar
Agora falando sério Eu queria não cantar Falando sério
Agora falando sério Preferia não falar Falando sério
When A Boy Falls In Love Composer(s): Sam Cooke; Clinton Levert Jr. Performer(s): Sam Cooke
I've heard them say love was a wonderful thing Something you couldn't hide on a shelf But to me they no longer have to explain Because I know for myself
He awakens each morn with a smile on his face When a boy is in love and the world to him is a beautiful place When a boy is in love
He's up and he's gone, there's no breakfast for him 'Cause he lives on the love of his sweet little gem The days are through, though it's not very long Before he must talk to his girl on the phone That's how it is when a boy falls in love
His girl's voice on the phone brings him wondrous delight When a boy is in love If there's been any darkness and all face from sight When a boy is in love
He can hardly wait till the moment they meet For he knows when he sees her, his day will be complete When they're finally alone and he kisses her lips The world sings a love song and his heart turns a flip That's how it is when a boy falls in love
At the end of the day the time comes they must part The strains of regret tear away at his heart and late in the night, as he sleeps in his bed Visions of her sweet charm, how they dance in his head & before you know, he is buying a ring To capture forever that sweet darlin' thing That's how it is when a boy falls in love
Agnese Composer(s): Ivan Graziani - Di I. Elaborazione Performer(s): Ivan Graziani
Se la mia chitarra piange dolcemente stasera non è sera di vedere gente e i giochi nella strada che ho chiusi dentro al petto mi voglio ricordare
Io penso ad un barcone rovesciato al sole in un giorno in pieno agosto le biciclette in riva al mare Agnese mi parlava e la sabbia era infuocata ed io non so perché non l'ho dimenticata
Lei mi raccontava di quello che la gente diceva del suo corpo con malizia ed allegria ed io che sto provando le cose che provavo ieri non ho capito ancora se è gelosia se sono prigioniero di questo cielo nero e di un ricordo che fa male e se continuo a bere i miei liquori inquinati è vero che quei giorni non li ho dimenticati
E' uscito un po' di sole da questo cielo nero l'inverno cittadino sembra quasi uno straniero Agnese dolce Agnese color di cioccolata adesso che ci penso non ti ho mai baciata
Agnese dolce Agnese color di cioccolata adesso che ci penso
Io vado in bicicletta per sentirmi vivo alle 5 di mattina con la nebbia nei polmoni però non c'è più Agnese seduta sul manubrio a cantar canzoni a cantar canzoni
When A Blind Man Cries Composer(s): Ritchie Blackmore; Ian Gillan; Roger Glover; Jon Lord; Ian Paice Performer(s): Deep Purple; and various other artists
If you're leaving, close the door I'm not expecting people anymore Hear me greaving, lying on the floor Whether I'm drunk or dead I really ain't too sure
I'm a blind man, I'm a blind man And my world is pale When a blind man cries Lord you know there ain't no sadder tale
Had a friend once, in a room Had a good time, but it ended much to soon In a cold month, in that room Found a reason for the things we had to do
I'm a blind, I'm a blind man Now my world is cold When a blind man cries Lord you know he feels it from his soul
Agnes Composer(s): Mark Avsec - Ierace Performer(s): Donnie Iris
We were standing on the corner one night Me and Agnes She had these tight jeans on And these high shoes Bad
It was a warm September night Wind was blowin' through the trees This dude Louie was looking for a fight
He knocked me down with all his might
He put a gun up to my head Stay away from her or you'll be dead Don't you ever see that girl he said
Agnes was a waitress at our bar Louie said she'd never go too far Louie didn't see her in my car Louie didn't see her in my car After that fight at Louie's bar
Yeah Agnes Caused you all this sadness (He didn't know that you were out of your mind) What you did was madness (He didn't know it was the end of the line) Someday we're gonna pay (He had it coming to him) We gotta watch out (Watch out) There's been talk about (I didn't know that you were out of your mind) Soon they're gonna find out (I didn't know it was the end of the line) What we did that day Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
She got off work at 2 o'clock We drove away so we could talk We didn't see Louie in the dark
Louie pulled me out onto the ground Then I saw Louie start to run He didn't know she had his gun (He didn't know she had his gun) I didn't know she had his gun
Oh-oh Agnes He caused you all this sadness (He didn't know that you were out of your mind) It was madness (He didn't know it was the end of the line) We're gonna pay (He had it coming to him) Oh oh we have to watch out (Watch out) You know there's been alotta talk about (I didn't know that you were out of your mind) Someday soon they're gonna find out (I didn't know it was the end of the line) You better never look back (He had it coming to him) Baby don't look back We got to run now Baby throw away the gun now (He didn't know that you were out of your mind) Baby baby baby it's tough now Someday we're gonna pay

Wheezy Anna Composer(s): Leslie Sarony Performer(s): Ray Noble
Theres a girl, a great big girl, and all whove ever seen her They know that every time she breathes shes like a concertina When she was young she bought a small mouth-organ for a tanner She swallowed it and ever since they call her Wheezy Anna
Wheezy Anna, Wheezy Anna, down where the watermelons grow (And theyve got big pips in) Wheezy Anna, Wheezy Anna, shes the grandest girl I know
Whos got eyes that are the best? - Wheezy Anna One looks east and the other looks west - Wheezy Anna Whos got eyes as black as night? Wheezy Anna With the left one blacker than the right Wheezy Anna
Wheezy Anna, Wheezy Anna, down where the watermelons grow (Melons wet your ears so) Wheezy Anna, Wheezy Anna, shes the grandest girl I know
Whos got teeth that are so bright? Wheezy Anna Like the stars, come out at night Wheezy Anna Whos conceited boy, and how? Wheezy Anna When it thunders, takes a bow Wheezy Anna
Whos the fattest girl in town Wheezy Anna Whos the female Teddy Brown Wheezy Anna When she tries to phone, they say - Wheezy Anna Always presses Button A Wheezy Anna
Wheezy Anna, Anna, Wheezy Anna, Anna down where the watermelons grow (All the flies came off them) Wheezy Anna, Anna, Wheezy Anna, shes the grandest girl I know
Whos tattooed upon her back? Wheezy Anna Stars and Stripes and Union Jack Wheezy Anna Snakes and things upon her vest Wheezy Anna Close your eyes and guess the rest Wheezy Anna
Wheezy Anna, Wheezy Anna, down where the watermelons grow (Like a great big football) Wheezy Anna, Wheezy Anna, shes the grandest girl I know
Aggravation Composer(s): Ray Davies Performer(s): The Kinks
Life grinds on day after day In the city streets and motorways The tension spreads just like a plague Killing reason on the way Like wildfire it spreads through the nation Chocking us with aggravation
Who needs it? The aggravation the daily goddam hassle It's a bummer, who gives a dam? Bumper to bumper in the traffic jam Clench your jaw, getting all up tight Breathing fumes, stuck in a tin can Trapped, trapped Hate, frustration, no escape Glaring eyes all filled with hate Arteries throb, coronaries pound Aggravation all around Like wildfire it spreads through the nation Choking us with aggravation They won the peace, we lost the war So what are we still fighting for? The highway's blocked, is this my end To follow a Mercedes Benz? Hey, Mitzibushi and Toyota, who said that the war was over? Aggravations everywhere, get outta my way get out of my hair Another jam, another day, another hair is turning grey I wanna scream, I wanna say Get outta my hair, get out of my way Who needs it? Aggravation, aggravation Had enough of all this aggravation Tension choking up blocking my circulation I've had enough, I've had enough of all this aggravation While traffic jams and tempers break The city streets are full of hate The lights are red, it's all too late How much can a poor man take?
Aggravation in my mind my body and my soul There's no solution to it all, it's out of control Out of control Is it my imagination, am I seeing what is true? If we are living in damnation I'd live in hell to be with you, what more can I do?
I gotta violent streak caused by We're getting uptight, wanna fight, everybody back bite Now we can't turn back the future's bleak I gotta mean appetite I gotta get my daily fill of aggravation Don't push 'cos I'm really pumped I'm ready when you are, punk
So step aside, unless your dumb I'm all wound up with aggravation
Had enough of all this aggravation Winding up, stress filled, mad intimidation And it touches all the passers-by As dog eats dog to stay alive Then moves on through the population Till there's mass contamination With violent streets all filled with fear Pollution in the atmosphere The ozone's gone and that's no fun I've had enough of this, old son Who needs it? Aggravation. And I don't have any answers I just got an attitude Do what it takes just to survive it Another day but I'll get through What more can I do?
Wheels Of Love Composer(s): Marjy Plant Performer(s): Emmylou Harris
The wheels of love turn around and around Keep on rolling till you've found the perfect partner, somebody just right to have and hold every day and every night
So she's halfway to Texas with all of her dreams The world ain't as bad as what it might seem You got a whole lot of living, honey, left to do There's still a whole lot of love inside of you
The wheels of love turn around and around They'll take you for a ride like a merry-go-round Don't let the heartache hold you down when there's plenty of love left to be found on the wheels riding on the wheels of love
Catch you a ride imagine what you might find Just the right girl at just the right time Ready and waiting, she'll look you in the eyes Ah, but the wheels of love will never compromise
So she broke your heart, honey, don't look back You got to keep on rolling down the track and maybe the next time you'll keep your feet on the ground when the wheels of love spin you around
The wheels of love turn around and around They'll take you for a ride like a merry-go-round Don't let the heartache hold you down when there's plenty of love left to be found on the wheels riding on the wheels of love
The wheels of love turn around and around They'll take you for a ride like a merry-go-round Don't let the heartache hold you down when there's plenty of love left to be found on the wheels riding on the wheels of love
Aggravatin' Papa Composer(s): Roy Turk - John Robinson - Addie Britt Performer(s): Bessie Smith and multiple other artists
I know a drivin' man They call him Driver Sam He lives in Birmingham Way down in Alabam
Now, the other night He had a fight with a gal named Mandy Brown She kept on saying he was aggravatin' And she shouted out to him
Aggravatin' Papa, don't you try to two-time me! I said, don't two-time me! Aggravatin' Papa, treat me kind or let me be I mean, just let me be! It's been awhile, I'll get you told Stop messin' round, sweet jellyroll If you stay out with a high-brown baby I'll smack you down, and I don't mean maybe!
Aggravatin' Papa, I'll do anything you say Anything you say But when you go struttin', do your strut around my way! So, papa, just treat me pretty, be nice and kind! The way you treated me will make me lose my mind! Aggravatin' Papa, don't you try to two-time me!
Just treat me pretty, be nice and sweet! I got a darn forty-four that don't repeat Aggravatin' Papa, don't you try to two-time me!
Wheels Of Confusion Composer(s): Geezer Butler; Tony Iommi; Ozzy Osbourne; Bill Ward Performer(s): Black Sabbath; Cathedral; New Eden
Long ago I wandered through my mind in the land of fairy tales and stories Lost in happiness I knew no fears Innocence and love was all I knew was it illusion?
Soon the days went passing into years Happiness just didn't come so easy Life was more than fairy tales and daydreams Innocence was just another word was it illusion?
Lost in the wheels of confusion Running through valleys of tears Eyes full of angered illusion Hiding in everyday fears
So I found that life is just a game But you know there's never been a winner Try your hardest, just to be a loser The world will still be turning when you're gone Yeah when you're gone!
Wheel Of Fortune Composer(s): Bennie Benjamin; George David Weiss Performer(s): Johnny Hartman; and various other artists
The wheel of fortune Goes spinning around Will the arrow point my way? Will this be my day?
Oh, wheel of fortune Please don't pass me by Let me know the magic of A kiss and a sigh
While the wheel is spining, spinning, spinning I'll not dream of winning fortune or fame While the wheel is turning, turning, turning I'll be yearning, yearning For love's precious flame
Oh, wheel of fortune I'm hoping somehow If you ever smile on me Please let it be now
While the wheel is spining, spinning, spinning I'll not dream of winning fortune or fame While the wheel is turning, turning, turning I'll be yearning, yearning For love's precious flame
Oh, wheel of fortune I'm hoping somehow If you ever smile on me Please let it be now
Agents Of The Heart Composer(s): Leo Sayer - Alan Tarney Performer(s): Leo Sayer
Restless as the ocean Stumbling in the dark Blinded by emotion Wishing on a star Yeah I was yours from the start And no stranger could tear us apart Let me in to your heart tonight
When Im beside you I see the child In you tonight I see a wild youth inside of you Burning so bright
Let my love create the spark Split the ocean wide apart Agents of the heart be kind tonight
Yeah I was yours from the start And no stranger could tear us apart Agents of the heart please be kind to me tonight
When Im beside you I see the child In you tonight I see a wild youth inside of you Burning so bright
Let the lightning break the dark Let your love create the spark Agents of the heart be kind tonight
Whaz' Zat Composer(s): Shawn Phillips Performer(s): Shawn Phillips
Lightning slaying shadows In the tremors of the night While he creeps among the alleys Bringing fear before the fright
She sleeps in tattered trousers In the ballroom's decadence Moaning gently of her dreaming By escorted precedence Antiquated babblings From a constant stream of thought Sensitively wringing out The rags that he has caught
Patting yet her bulging belly She so slowly cries a smile In anticipated suffering Of her slowly growing child He is speeding in a vacuum Going nowhere but, of course He might believe in discipline Of a bloody kind of sort
Naturally a state of race A never-changing spate of hate While everything in some weird way Does manage to relate To her it doesn't matter more Its chasms have been leapt And she leans upon the skepticism of her chosen fate
Stand tall, you spittle-smattered son of man Stand up, you hear them say To slap you down and kick your teeth And smile across the bay
Irrelevant eloquent pleading Wasn't what she did this year She passed it by and told a lie And shed a crystal tear For him to see, from valley's edge From 0plateaus in the sand And yet he has beshit himself For being just a man
A bragging crowing sort of twit A cast-off shade of pink Who's brought himself and all the rest Unto the very brink Yet that magic urge Continues on and plays continuum A song of pleasure and of pain Until that will be done
Double-O-Soul! I dig rock and roll music I can do the twine and the jerk I wear strictly continental suits And high collared shirts I´ve got a reputation of bein´ Gentle but bold And that´s why they call me Agent Double-O-Soul baby! Agent Double-O-Soul They call me Double-O-Soul baby I´m Agent Double-O-Soul I don´t carry no pistol I don´t wear a false mustache And you´ll never see me carrying Around a little black bag My real name´s no secret But from me it will never be told I´m just known as Agent Double-O-Soul baby! Agent Double-O-Soul They call me Double-O-Soul baby I´m Agent Double-O-Soul
There once was a fella Who was down on rock and roll He couldn´t get himself together He didn´t have no kind of soul The office put me on his case And I tracked him down right away Now he´s a deejay on a radio show A station that everybody knows Call me Double-O-Soul Call me Double-O-Soul
What's Your Story, Morning Glory? Composer(s): Jack Lawrence; Paul Francis Webster; Mary Lou Williams Performer(s): Duke Robillard; and various other artists
What's your story, morning glory What makes you look so blue The way that you've been acting I don't know what to do For I love you, sure as one and one make two What's your story, morning glory Got a feeling there's a lot you're concealing So, won't you let me know your point of view
What is your story, morning glory You've got me worried too The postman came this morning And left a note for you Did you read it, then you know that I love you What's your story, morning glory Give your answer to this patient romancer Oh, won't you tell me that you love me too
