All American Alien Boy
Composer(s): Ian Hunter
Performer(s): Ian Hunter; Mott the Hoople



I packed my bags - in the land of rags
'Cos I don't believe in them dimmo drags
Don't wanna vote for the left wing - don't wanna vote for the right
I gotta have both-to make me fly

Just a whitey from Blighty - heading out west
Got my little green card 'n my bulletproof vest
Goin' to old tube city - where the buzz is the best
On down the line (down the line) down the line (down the line)

Well I was born (on the line) 'n I was raised (on the line)
I was schooled (on the line) 'n I was fazed (on the line)
'N I was used (on the line) 'n I was dazed (on the line)
Just had to split (off the line) 'cos I was crazed (off the line)

'N I remember all the good times - me 'n Miller enjoyed
Up and down the M1 in some luminous yo-yo toy
But the future has to change - and to change I've got to destroy
Oh look out Lennon here I come - land ahoy-hoy-hoy

All American Alien Boy All American Alien Boy

Don't look down put your feet on the ground don't drown in the big aquarium 
Don't walk slow - put on a big show - shove your meat down vegetarians
Don't get slugged, get mugged, get bugged, or they'll sling you in the jug
Shove you under some rug, give you some drug - pull out the plug and then... 

And they're telling me this hamburger's cheaper than the other
'N this television's cheaper than the other
And they're selling me hotdogs cheaper than the other
'N these pizzas cheaper than the other
And I don't understand all this - I'm just an All American Alien Boy

'N they're telling me rifles are shot in Connecticut
They're telling me pistols are shot in Westchester
You can get a Saturday Night Special on Flatbush, on the Bowery, or the Bronx 

Or on 42nd Street - And I don't understand all this - being an All American Alien Boy

I've got sodium nitrate rotting in my guts
My head's full of ulcers I got lungs full of butts
My heart wants a transplant - it thinks that I'm nuts
My logic won't open - my eyes won't shut
'N I'm beginning to dig all this - being an All American Alien Boy

And your women are always right (alright)
They always know so much more
'Cos the women came from heaven
'N the men came outta some store
'N they don't know who they are and they don't know what they're for

I'm an All American Alien Boy - look out Mary Tyler Moore - All American Alien Boy ...

While We're Young
Composer(s): Alec Wilder; Morty Palitz; Bill Engvick
Performer(s): Peggy Lee



Songs were meant to sing while we're young
Ev'ry day is spring while we're young
None can refuse; time flies so fast
Too dear to lose, and too sweet to last

Though it may be just for today
Share our love we must, while we may
How blue the sky, all sweet surprise
Shines before our eyes while we're young

How blue the sky, all sweet surprise
Shines before our eyes while we're young  

All Along The Watchtower
((Italian Version: Lungo I Merli Di Vedetta (by Tito Schipa Jr.) - 1987))
Composer(s): Bob Dylan
First release by: Bob Dylan - 1967
Covered by multiple other artists



There must be some kind of way outta here 
said the joker to the thief 
There´s too much confusion... 
I can´t get no relief 

Business men they drink my wine 
Plowman, dig my earth 
None of them along the line 
Know what any of it is worth 
hey, hey 

No reason to get excited 
The thief he kindly spoke 
There are many here among us 
Who feel that life is but a joke 
But, uh...but you and I, we´ve been through that 
And this is not our fate 
So let us stop talkin´ falsely now 
The hour´s getting late, hey 

All along the watchtower 
Princes kept the view 
While all the women came and went 
Barefoot servants, too 
Outside in the cold distance 
A wildcat did growl 
Two riders were approaching 
And the wind began to howl

While You're Away "Pack Up Your Cares In A Bundle Of Joy"
Composer(s): L. Wolfe Gilbert; Anatole Friedland



His furlough time was over, he was told to say goodbye 
And though his heart was staunch and true 
A tear drop dimmed his eye 
His little mother by his side she smiled to hide her pain
And whispered softly let's be brave
Your tear drop is in vain

As brave as any soldier is the mother of her son 
Her golden soul has done it's share 
In every vict'ry won 
In years gone by and those to be, the soldier can recall
The message from his mother dear
He treasures more than all

While you're away 
While you're away I'll keep the lovelight bright
So at night it will light, your way, dear
Just think of me wheree'er you'll be 
I'll do my share, and bear, for someday 
While you're away 
You'll write and say 
Our work is done and I am sailing homeward today 
Pack up your cares in a bundle of joy 
I'll wait for you till it's over my boy 
May God bless you while you're away  

All Alone In Vienna
Composer(s): Lewis Ilda - Leo Towers - Morton Morrow
Performer(s): Vera Lynn



All alone in Vienna
In that old rendezvous
There's the same old moon on high
Oh, Why must I be here without you

All alone in Vienna
Where we sang love's refrain
In this city of romance
Have we no chance of meeting again

Two lonely hearts I see
Carved on the linden tree
Do you still think of me
While I'm alone

All alone in Vienna
With a prayer in my heart
But some day we'll meet again
And then remain together sweetheart

While You See A Chance
Composer(s): Winwood; Jennings
Performer(s): Joe Cocker



Stand up in a clear blue morning
until you see what can be
alone in a cold day dawning
are you still free, can you be
when some cold tomorrow finds you
when some sad old dream reminds you
how the endless road unwinds you
when there's no one left to leave you
even you don't quite believe you
and that old grey wind is blowing
and there's nothing left worth knowing
while you see a chance take it
find romance, fake it
because it's all on you  

All Alone In California
Composer(s): Dan Hill
Performer(s): Dan Hill



He caught her signal
As she strolled in the bar
Amidst all the lonely people
Out to prove they're popular
And he came upon her slowly
Not sure of what to say
Trying to sound clever - but words got in the way

Conversation wandered -
Though their eyes seldom met
They both knew what they were after
And they played it step by step
And his mind was getting foggy
The drinks were coming fast
Momentary friendship - with no future and no past

All alone in California
Looking for some fun
His eyes were feeling heaving
He kind of wished that he could run
The colours started spinning
As she kissed away his doubts
The night was just beginning
As his body began to melt…

She watched the sunrise
While he slept in dreams unknown
And she wondered what his name was
Though she barely knew her own
And she slowly started crying
Though she wasn't white sure why
Trying to fight an emptiness
That haunted her insides

All alone in California
Looking for some fun
His eyes were feeling heaving
He kind of wished that he could run
The colours started spinning
As she kissed away his doubts
The night was just beginning
As his body began to melt…

While The Stars In The Heavens Shine On
Composer(s): Harry D. Kerr; Henry W. Petrie



Heart of my heart you seem, dear
to doubt that my love is true
Sometimes I think you feel, dear 
It may not all be for you
Doubt that the sun is shining, doubt that the sky is blue 
doubt the whole world, if you will, dear 
but doubt not my love for you

Birds to their mates are singing, the song that they love to hear 
each flow'r with sweetend perfume, speaks love to the one that's near 
soul speaks to soul, the answer never has yet been wrong 
this is love's message to you, dear, and this is my own love song

While the stars in heaven shine on! 
While the warm summer sun greets the dawn 
the love that I give, will grow stronger and live
till the light of the world will be gone! 
With a heart that shall beat just for you 
all my vows every day I'll renew tho' the ocean may dry 
love like mine shall not die while the stars in the heavens shine on!  

All Alone Am I
((Adapted from: Min Ton Rotas Ton Ourano (by Tzeni Karezi) - 1959))
((Danish Version: Er Det Helt Forbi (by Birthe Kjær) - 1974))
Composer(s): Yiannis Ioanidis - Manos Hadjidakis - Arnie Altman
Performer(s): Brenda Lee - 1962
and multiple other artists



All alone am I ever since your goodbye 
All alone with just a beat of my heart
People all around but I don't hear a sound 
Just the lonely beating of my heart

No use in holding other hands 
For I'd be holding only emptiness
No use in kissing other lips
For I'd be thinking just of your caress

All alone am I ever since your goodbye 
All alone with just a beat of my heart
People all around but I don't hear a sound 
Just the lonely beating of my heart

No other voice can say the words
My heart must hear to ever sing again
The words you used to whisper low
No other love can ever bring again

All alone am I ever since your goodbye 
All alone with just a beat of my heart
People all around but I don't hear a sound 
Just the lonely beating of my heart

While The Music Plays On
Composer(s): Irving Mills; Lupin Fein; Eddie Heim
Performer(s): Tony Bennett;
and various other artists



Each night in some café, I'm on display
Until the dark turns into dawn
Up upon the stand singing with the band
While the music plays on

Each night is just a long and endless song
Until the last couple has gone
Vainly I'm the star singing out my heart
While the music plays on

Oh what madness to discover
Music still possesses all its charms
As I serenade my lover
Dancing by in someone else's arms

But I am not allowed to show the crowd
What happens when romance has gone
I must hid my fears singing through the tears
While the music plays on

Oh what madness to discover
Music still possesses all its charms
As I serenade my lover
Dancing by in someone else's arms

But I am not allowed to show the crowd
What happens when romance has gone
I must hid my fears singing through the tears
While the music plays on  

All Alone
Performer(s): Marc Bolan & T. Rex



All alone I sit at home 
with my chrome guitar 
Even Michael Mouse 
he had a house with someone there 
You handsome bitch 
you movie twitch and seranade 
the dudes that move and 
smile so vile and masquerade. 
They masquerade, yeah. 

An adjacent kid with a 
Jamaican lid 
and a switch-blade knife 
steals the truth 
from your golden tooth 
then turns you in 

So hold hands tight 
on a marble night 
you may be dismissed 
but know that Zeus 
is never loose with his Grecian kiss 
his Grecian kiss 

Fiery skies 
in children's eyes 
fade into youth 
bleeding blood and tears 
on all the ears that heard your gold. 
so you walk the dog 
and you stroll the frog 
on a dome-sky earth 
to lie to hard is an English bard. 
You'd better hide your tracks 
Better watch your mind 

Ye-yeah, wo-wo-wo, do it to me baby now

While The Feeling's Good
Composer(s): Roger Bowling; Freddie Hart
Performer(s): Wayne Newton;
Kenny Rogers; B.J. Thomas



Take your gown out of the closet 
Put it on that's why I bought it 
Come stand in front of me and let me see 
Take the warm smile that you're wearing 
Place it on these lips that's burning 
To share this fire you've built inside of me 
Turn the light down in the bedroom 
Pull the sheet down from the pillow 
When we're like this 
Love's easy understood 
Let's walk through this house we live in 
To the room we always love in 
And let's love each other while the feeling's good

With all my will I promise 
With all of me I'll love you 
This feeling that I've got 
Just grows and grows 
I can't stop this wanting you 
And I can't stop this needing you 
No more than I can stop 
The wind that blows 
I'll hold to your sweet loving 
Long as we both have this feeling 
I'll love you everyway I know that's good 
Let's walk through this house we live in 
To the room we always love in 
And let's love each other while the feeling's good

While the feelings good 
Let's keep it going 
While the loving's good 
Let's keep it growing 
Let's walk through this house we live in 
To the room we always love in 
And let's love each other while the feeling's good  

All Alone
Composer(s): Irving Berlin
Performer(s): Frank Sinatra



All alone, I'm so all alone
There is no one else but you
All alone by the telephone
Waiting for a ring, a ting-a-ling

I'm all alone every evening
All alone, feeling blue
Wond'ring where you are and how you are
And if you are all alone too

I wonder where you are (remember me) and how you are 
(remember me)
And if you are (I love you) all alone (I love you) too

While The Angelus Was Ringing
Composer(s): Dick Manning; Jean Villard
Performer(s): Dick Haymes;
Allan Jones; Josef Locke



While the angelus was ringing
calling for the evening prayer
I could hear the choir singing
and I saw you standing there

Silently I stood beside you
how my heart was beating then
all my dreams had all come true
I was safely back with you
never more to roam again

Then the great cathedral spire
seemed to come alive and say
through the voices of the choir
there will be a wedding day

Then a golden ray of sunlight
from a window in the sky
shone upon us from above
heaven's blessing on our love
now our love will never die

Then a golden ray of sunlight
from a window in the sky
shone upon us from above
heaven's blessing on our love
now our love will never die  

All Across The Nation
Performer(s): Nick Gilder



All Across The Nation
(the wheels are rolling)

All across the nation
I've seen this generation
In a silver plane
A subway train
The man was standing there

and I've got my intuition
There's a game called `recognition`
All around the world
The boys and girls
Are looking for the same

The wheels are rolling
All around the world
The wheels of fortune
Let me see you turn

Ticket for a destination
Aboard the new sensation
A wondering son
The lucky one
A London boy in flight

Looking for the satisfaction
Of that rock `n` roll reaction
Heres an invitation
A reservation
For all to hear the band

New places, new faces
This ever-winding road
Long races at fast paces
Can be a heavy load   

While Strolling Through The Park One Day
Composer(s): Ed Haley; Reinhard Keiser
Performer(s): Alvin & The Chipmunks



(Refrain)
While strolling through the park one day
In the merry merry month of May
I was taken by surprise
By a pair of roguish eyes
In a moment my poor heart was stole away

A smile was all she gave to me

Of course we were as happy as can be

Ah! I immediately raised my hat
And finally she remarked
I never shall forget
That lovely afternoon
I met her at the fountain in the park

While strolling through the park one day
In the merry merry month of May
I was taken by surprise
By a pair of roguish eyes
In a moment my poor heart was stole away

A smile was all she gave to me
Of course we are as happy as can be
Ah! I immediately raised my hat
And finally she remarked
I never shall forget
That lovely afternoon
I met her at the fountain in the park  

All Across The Havens 
Composer(s): Elton John - Bernie Taupin
Performer(s): Elton John



The sister of sunlight
Comes to my lonely life
Bearing the crosses I hung
I hung on my lonely wife
And the anchor told me
If I prayed by the river
That the sweet sound of water
Would always go with her

All across the havens to the waterfall
They told me I would meet her there
Inside those icy walls
But how on earth in this universe
Can they forgive me of my pains
For all across the havens
I must stumble locked in chains

Then the mother of mercy
Showed me her stable
And told me you would be safe
Safe in her cradle
And the waterfall opened
And the water withdrew
Leaving me standing
On a road leading through

While My Heart Is Still Beating
Composer(s): Bryan Ferry; Andy Mackay
Performer(s): Roxy Music



All of those people
Everywhere
Ever so needing
Where's it all leading
Tell me where
Nothing insincere
I'd better have pity
I'd better go easy
I never will lay down
While my heart is still beating
Where it's all leading
Walk on air
Am I still dreaming
Words to spare
Lost in their meaning
I'd better be strong now
I'd better stop dreaming
My heart has flown away now
Will it never stop bleeding?  

All About You 
Composer(s): Mick Jagger - Keith Richards
Performer(s): The Rolling Stones



Well if you call this a life 
Why must I spend it with you? 
If the show must go on 
Let it go on without you 
So sick and tired hanging around with jerks like you 

Who'll tell me those lies 
And let me think they're true? 
What am I to do 
You want it, I got it too 

Though the lies might be true 
That's just cause the joke's about you 
I'm so sick and tired hanging around with dogs like you 
You're the first to get blamed, always the last bitch to get paid 

Oh, tell me those lies 
Let me think they're true 
I heard one or two 
They weren't about me, they weren't about her 
They were all about you 

I may miss you 
But missing me just isn't you 
I'm so sick and tired hanging around with dogs like you 

Tell me those lies 
Let me think they're true 
I heard one or two, and they weren't about me, they weren't about her 
They're all about you 
I'm so sick and tired 
What should I do 
You want it, you get it... 
So how come I'm still in love with you? 

While My Guitar Gently Weeps
Composer(s): George Harrison
Performer(s): The Beatles



I look at you all see the love there that's sleeping
While my guitar gently weeps
I look at the floor and I see it needs sweeping
Still my guitar gently weeps

I don't know why nobody told you
How to untold your love
I don't know how someone controlled you
They bought and sold you

I look at the world and I notice it's turning
While my guitar gently weeps
I with every mistake we must surely be learning
Still my guitar gently weeps

I don't know how you were diverted you were perverted too
I don't know how you were inverted no one alerted you

I look at you all see the love there that's sleeping
While my guitar gently weeps
I look at you all
Still my guitar gently weeps
