Ain't It A Shame Composer(s): Keith Strickland - Cindy Wilson - Ricky Wilson Performer(s): The B-52's
Flying saucers could land And it wouldn't make much difference to my man I could walk aboad and thank the lord And leave this damn town in seconds flat Check my bags and never come back
Oh, our love is Like a fuse that's burned out Oh, our love is Like a fuse that's burned out
Oh, I've been unkind Not like you Ain't I ashamed Being misused
Oh, our love is Like a fuse that's burned out Oh, our love is Like a fuse that's burned out
I liked your Chevy Duster I liked your brand new trailer I liked your colour TV But you looked at that colour TV More than me More than me
Oh, our love is Like a fuse that's burned out Oh, our love is Like a fuse that's burned out
When I'm Away From You Composer(s): Frankie Miller Performer(s): Frankie Miller; The Bellamy Brothers; Kim Carnes
When I'm away from you well I can't stay still My thoughts won't move from the way I feel It happens time and time again And the circle never ends
When I'm away from you Well it hurts to say My sense has gone so far away I'm up all through the night And I can't tell wrong from right
When I'm away from you I see great big clouds In the fog and rain all the lonely crowds They seem to be so blue Every night I'm missing you
When I'm away from you well the sun don't shine The mood don't come The words don't rhyme When I'm away from you I can't let go And you know, oh you know
It's all the things you do that make life worth while Like the way you talk and the way you smile It's all the things you do keep me hanging on And you know, don't you know
When I'm away from you well the wine won't flow The tides don't turn and the wind don't blow I'm up all through the night And I can't tell wrong from right
When I'm away from you well the sun don't shine The mood don't come The words don't rhyme When I'm away from you I can't let go And you know, oh you know
It's all the things you do that make life worth while Like the way you talk and the way you smile It's all the things you do keep me hanging on And you know, don't you know
When I'm away from you Well it hurts to say My sense has gone so far away It happens time and time again And the circle never ends
When I'm away from you well the sun don't shine The mood don't come The words don't rhyme When I'm away from you I can't let go And you know, oh you know It's all the things you do that make life worth while Like the way you talk and the way you smile It's all the things you do keep me hanging on And you know, don't you know
When I'm away from you well the sun don't shine The mood don't come The words don't rhyme When I'm away from you I can't let go And you know, oh you know...

Ain't Had Enough Fun Composer(s): Paul Barrère - Shaun Murphy - Bill Payne - Chick Stand - Fred Tackett Performer(s): Little Feat
Woke up this mornin' just about noon Rolled back on over, it was way too soon My sensibilities hadn't stirred you see Might bother some, but it don't bother me
'Cause some people say ain't had enough fun Some people say ain't had enough fun I'll tell ya when I'm done But until that time, ain't had enough fun
Right 'round the corner, right over the hill Somebody's waitin' for some new thrill They can wait there all of their life Spinnin' them wheels 'til the time is right As for me, I think I'll jump right into the fight
'Cause some people say ain't had enough gun Some people say ain't had enough gun I'll tell ya when I'm done But until that time, ain't had enough fun
Why some people sure wound up tight I'm here to tell ya Lord -- I got too many chills To feel 'em all in one night
Now who says ya can't teach an old dog new tricks Jus' fire off a few rounds at the poor boy's kicks Ruler boy says don't worry The monkey ain't dead so what's your hurry The show ain't over so people please grab your seats
'Cause some people say ain't had enough gun Some people say ain't had enough gun My time ain't yet begun So don't say I'm finished, no I'll tell ya when I'm done Until that time, I ain't had enough fun

The rooms were so much colder then My father was a soldier then And times were very hard When I was young

When I was young I met my first love at thirteen She was brown, and I was pretty green And I learned quite a lot When I was young When I was young
When I was young it was more important Pain more painful, laughter much louder, yeah When I was young
When I was young My faith was so much stronger then I believed in fellow men And I was so much older then When I was young When I was young When I was young When I was young When I was young

When I Was A Boy I Watched The Wolves Composer(s): Grace Slick; Paul Kantner Performer(s): Paul Kantner
When I was a boy I watched the wolves When I was a boy I watched wolfpack Run, I watched the wolves till the mornin' sun And as I grew I soon found the wolfpack grow on me Laser bright feel the lunar light comin down on me Moonlight, leave me be, comin down on me We Roll and we go thru the mountain snow Wolfpack silver, down to the water Timber line leader gonna find you Getcha goin down to the nighttime
No eyes shine on the mind protected No light shines on the fang neglected Run with the wolfpack
When I was young and low out here in San Francisco I could rely on the fire of my friends, now I can Carry a few and I do when I can we get By however we can
Me and my friends we roll thru the hills in the nighttime Me and my friends run into the mornin sunshine
I suppose you could yell at your dog He'd be barking his face right back I imagine you calling yourself big fang Observing you run with the pack Wolfpack werewolf, gleaming on the hillside She-wolf dripping come here and find me Down by the cool clear waterside Down by the nighttime Bow to the moon / lean to the morning sun Feel how clean / when the night when your nite is done
Run with the wolfpack Get down be bright go back, run with the wolfpack We have the mountains, we have the town now Battle cruiser, two tone silver loser Run with the wolfpack Run with the wolfpack Run with the wolfpack

When I Take My Sugar To Tea Composer(s): Sammy Fain; Irving Kahal; Pierre Norman Connor Performer(s): Leon Redbone
I'm just a little "Jackie Horner" since I met my sugar cane That gang of mine has been revealin' that they're feelin' sore I left the lamp light on the corner for the moon in lover's lane I'm doing things I never did before
When I take my sugar to tea, all the boys are jealous of me, 'cause I never take her where the gang goes When I take my sugar to tea
I'm a rowdy dowdy, that's me She's a high hat baby, that's she So I never take her where the gang goes When I take my sugar to tea
Ev'ry Sunday afternoon we forget about our cares rubbing elbows at the Ritz with those millionaires
When I take my sugar to tea I'm as Ritzy as can be 'cause I never take her where the gang goes When I take my sugar to tea

When I Take My Morning Promenade Composer(s): A.J. Mills; Bennett Scott Performer(s): Marie Lloyd; Patricia Rowlands
Since Mother Eve in the Garden long ago Started the fashion, fashion's been a passion Eve wore a costume we might describe as brief Still every season brought its change of leaf She'd stare if she could come to town Oh! what would Mother Eve think of my new Parisian gown?
When I take my morning promenade Quite a fashion card, on the Promenade Oh! I don't mind nice boys staring hard If it satisfies their desire Do you think my dress is a little bit Just a little bit..... Well not too much of it Though it shows my shape just a little bit That's the little bit the boys admire
Fancy the girls in the prehistoric days Each wore a bearskin covering her fair skin Lately Salome has charmed us to be sure Wearing some rows of beads and not much more Fancy my dressing like that, too The 'Daily Mirror' man would surely want an interview
When I take my morning promenade Quite a fashion card, on the Promenade Oh! I don't mind nice boys staring hard If it satisfies their desire Do you think my dress is a little bit Just a little bit..... Well not too much of it Though it shows my shape just a little bit That's the little bit the boys admire
I've heard my Grandmother wore the crinoline Then came the bussle Oh! it was a tussle Women were tied up and loaded up with dress Now, fashion plates decree we must wear less Each year our costume grows more brief I wonder when we'll get back to the good old fashioned leaf?
When I take my morning promenade Quite a fashion card, on the Promenade Oh! I don't mind nice boys staring hard If it satisfies their desire Do you think my dress is a little bit Just a little bit..... Well not too much of it Though it shows my shape just a little bit That's the little bit the boys admire
