All The Way Strong Composer(s): Stephen Coore - D. Mair Performer(s): Third World
There isn't a simple way To tell you how I feel for you I hope this is just a game you're playing 'Cause I don't want us to be through
My love is all the way strong My love is all the way strong To help us carry on To help us carry on
And my kind of happiness Is living in love with you, baby But lately you seem so uninspired and so unwilling baby To see things as I do
My love is all the way strong My love is all the way strong To help us carry on To help us carry on
You're the sunshine, baby You're the magic in my eyes You're the sunshine, baby You're the magic in my eyes
My love is all the way strong My love is all the way strong To help us carry on To help us carry on
All the way strong, baby 'Cause you're my sunshine Can't you see you're magic in my eyes Hey, you pick me up when I'm falling down Oh my baby, my baby, my baby, my baby Ooh...You're the magic in my yes You're the sunshine, baby Can't you see it shining so bright...
Wildfire Composer(s): Larry Cansler; Michael Martin Murphey Performer(s): Michael Murphey
She comes down from Yellow Mountain On a dark, flat land she rides On a pony she named Wildfire With a whirlwind by her side On a cold Nebraska night
Oh, they say she died one winter When there came a killing frost And the pony she named Wildfire Busted down its stall In a blizzard he was lost
She ran calling Wildfire
By the dark of the moon I planted But there came an early snow There's been a hoot-owl howling by my window now For six nights in a row She's coming for me, I know And on Wildfire we're both gonna go
We'll be riding Wildfire
On Wildfire we're gonna ride Gonna leave sodbustin' behind Get these hard times right on out of our minds Riding Wildfire
All The Way Home Composer(s): Bruce Springsteen Performer(s): Southside Johnny & The Asbury Jukes
I know what it's like to have failed baby With the whole world lookin' on I know what it's like to have been so sure Wake up and find it all gone Now you've got no reason to trust me And tonight my confidence is a little rusty It's getting late And if you don't feel leavin' alone Well maybe I can walk you baby All the way home
Our old fears and failures Well they do linger (oh yes they do) Like the shadow of that ring That was on your finger Well those days darling, Those days are dead and gone Oh I could walk you baby All the way home
Now there's things no one can rearrange We both have yesterdays that we can't change It's closing time - bartender's ringing last call These days I don't stand on pride and I've learned how to take a fall Now the time has come And if your first choice - he's gone Well that's alright baby 'Cause I can walk you all the way home All the way home All the way home
Let me sing, a song for you And let me be your star Every time I look into your eyes Im really fine Never knowing what to say Or knowing what to do All the goods things in my life Are just a part of you
You are just a wild bird playing In the silver sky Im a tree that waits for you To let you rest a while You can hide here if you want From winter storm and snow In the shelter of my arms You let your feelings show
So sweet little wild bird Wont you sing this song with me Together we shall sing In perfect tune and harmony And if you stay here long Yes in the winter you must die As I will teach you how to walk You teach me how to fly, fly
So sweet little wild bird Wont you sing this song with me Together we shall sing In perfect tune and harmony And if you stay here long Yes in the winter you must die As I will teach you how to walk You teach me how to fly, fly
All The Way Home Composer(s): Steve Allen - Buddy Kaye Performer(s): Andy Williams
All the way home I thought of our parting All the way home from your loving arms Were we too young to know about real romance? Did we give up without giving love a chance? All the way home I thought it all over How could we have been so blind about love? And all at once there was but one thing to do I turned around and ran all the way home to you
Were we too young to know about real romance? Did we give up without giving love a chance? So all the way home I thought it all over How could we have been so blind about love? And all at once there was but one thing to do I turned around, around, around I turned and ran, and ran, and ran I turned around and ran all the way home to you
Wild! Composer(s): Appell; Mann Performer(s): Dee Dee Sharp
Baby, baby you're no good Never treat me like a lover should And I know in the end You're gonna leave me, my friend But I go onnnnn, oh, when you kiss me (when you kiss me) And I go onnnnn when you hug me (when you hug me) You're gonna break my heart, I know And if I played it smart I'd go But I'm so wiiiild, wild about you baby
Baby, baby every day I take my mind up and away But I find love is blind One kiss and I change my mind Yes, I go wiiiild, when you kiss me (when you kiss me) And I go wiiiild, oh, when you hug me (when you hug me) Because I love you so, I try But if you ever go I'd die But I'm so wiiiiild, wild about you baby (wild about you baby) Yay, yay, yay (wild about you baby) Oh, I'm (wild about you baby) (oh, you drive me crazy) Can't think of anything, I'm a' wiiiild, (wild about you baby). . . .
All The Way From Memphis Composer(s): Ian Hunter First release by: Mott the Hoople - 1973
Forgot my six-string raiser - hit the sky Half way to Memphis 'fore I realised Well I rang the information - my axe was cold They said she rides the train to Oreoles
Now its a mighty long way down the dusty trail And the sun burns hot on the cold steel rails 'N I look like a bum 'n I crawl like a snail All the way from Memphis
Well I got to Oreoles y'know - it took a month And there was my guitar, electric junk. Some spade said "Rock'n'rollers, you're all the same. Man that's your instrument." I felt so ashamed.
Now its a mighty long way down rock'n'roll Through the Bradford Cities and the Oreoles 'N you look like a star but you're still on the dole All the way from Memphis
Yeah it's a mighty long way down rock'n'roll >From the Liverpool docks to the Hollywood Bowl 'N you climb up the mountains 'n you fall down the holes All the way from Memphis
Yeah its a mighty long way down rock'n'roll As your name gets hot so your heart grows cold 'N you gotta stay young man, you can never be old All the way from Memphis
Yeah its a mighty long way down rock'n'roll Through the Bradford Cities and the Oreoles 'N you look like a star but you're really out on parole! All the way from Memphis
Wild World Composer(s): Cat Stevens Performer(s): Cat Stevens
Now that I've lost everything to you You say you wanna start something new And it's breakin' my heart you're leavin' Baby, I'm grievin' But if you wanna leave, take good care I hope you have a lot of nice things to wear But then a lot of nice things turn bad out there
Oh, baby, baby, it's a wild world It's hard to get by just upon a smile Oh, baby, baby, it's a wild world I'll always remember you like a child, girl
You know I've seen a lot of what the world can do And it's breakin' my heart in two Because I never wanna see you a sad girl Don't be a bad girl But if you wanna leave, take good care I hope you make a lot of nice friends out there But just remember there's a lot of bad and beware
Chorus
Baby, I love you But if you wanna leave, take good care I hope you make a lot of nice friends out there But just remember there's a lot of bad and beware
All The Way ((Spanish Version: Todo El Camino (by Dean Reed) - 1962)) Composer(s): Sammy Cahn - Jimmy Van Heusen First performance by: Frank Sinatra - 1957 Covered by multiple other artists
When somebody loves you It's no good unless he loves you - all the way Happy to be near you When you need someone to cheer you - all the way
Taller than the tallest tree is That's how it's got to feel Deeper than the deep blue see is That's how deep it goes - if its real
When somebody needs you It's no good unless he needs you - all the way Through the good or lean years And for all the in between years - come what may
Who know where the road will lead us Only a fool would say But if you'll let me love you It's for sure I'm gonna love you - all the way, all the way
Wild Wood Composer(s): Paul Weller Performer(s): Paul Weller
High tide - mid afternoon People fly by in the traffics boom Knowing - where you're blowing Getting to where you should be going Don't let them get you down Making you feel guilty about Golden rain bring you riches All the good things - you deserve now Climbing forever trying Find your way out - of the wild wild wood Now there's no justice There's only yourself - that you can trust in And I said - high tide mid afternoon People fly by in the traffics boom Knowing - just where you're blowing Getting to where you should be going Day by day your world fades away Waiting to feel - all the dreams that say Golden rain will bring you riches All the good things - you deserve now - and I say Climbing forever trying Find your way out - of the wild wild wood
Wild Women (Don't Have The Blues) Composer(s): Ida Cox Performer(s): Ida Cox & Coleman Hawkins; and various other artists
I hear these women raving 'bout their monkey men About their trifling husbands and their no good friends These poor women sit around all day and moan Wondering why their wandering papa's don't come home But wild women don't worry, wild women don't have no blues
Now when you've got a man, don't never be on the square 'Cause if you do he'll have a woman everywhere I never was known to treat no one man right I keep 'em working hard both day and night 'Cause wild women don't worry, wild women don't have their blues
I've got a disposition and a way of my own When my man starts kicking I let him find another home I get full of good liquor, walk the streets all night Go home and put my man out if he don't act right Wild women don't worry, wild women don't have their blues
You never get nothing by being an angel child You better change your ways and get real wild I wanna tell you something, I wouldn't tell you a lie Wild women are the only kind that really get by 'Cause wild women don't worry, wild women don't have their blues
All The Time In The World Composer(s): Shel Silverstein - Even Stevens Performer(s): Dr. Hook
Lay down Let's explore this tenderness between us There ain't no one around at all to see us And baby would you mind If maybe you and I Took a little time to find each other?
Baby, we got all the time in the world So why don't we just take it nice and slow? We got everything we need To plant a lovin' seed And all the time we need to watch it grow
Stay down Stay at least until the fire stops burnin' At least until the room has stopped its turnin' And when the embers dyin' low We're lyin' in the afterglow It'll be as sweet as anything we've ever known
Baby, we got all the time in the world So why don't we just take it nice and slow? We got everything we need To plant a lovin' seed And all the time we need to watch it grow
Baby, we got all the time in the world So why don't we just take it nice and slow? We got everything we need To plant a lovin' seed And all the time we need to watch it grow
Baby, we got all the time in the world So why don't we just take it nice and slow?...
Wild Women Do Composer(s): Sam Lorber; Greg Prestopino; Matthew Wilder Performer(s): Natalie Cole
You tell me you want a woman who's As simple as a flower Well if you want me to act like that You'd better pay me by the hour
Don't want to travel in the danger zone Take another number Don't want a lover who can hold her own Baby step aside if you don't want to ride Because
Chorus Wild women do And they don't regret it Wild women show What they're goin' through Wild women do What you think they'll never What you only dream about Wild women do
You think that love is a vision of A princess in a picture Well let me tell you something, little boy You wouldn't know love if it hit ya
Scared of someone who is off the wall Kickin' and a screamin' Don't you want a lover who can do it all? Listen to me Jack I ain't holdin' back Cos
Chorus
Come on and wild with me baby Everybody come on Everybody get wild
Wild Women Composer(s): Benny Hill Performer(s): Benny Hill
Now I don't want you folks to misconstrue What I'm about to say to you But I'm gonna tell you about the women in my life Now I know some gals who are real refined But I always seem to get the other kind And maybe that's why I've never found a wife
Now I used to know a gal in Crewe She was five foot two and eyes of blue And, well she told me that her name was Lotty But I think she was funny in the head 'cause she used to sleep underneath the bed Her parents thought she was a little potty
But I kind of liked the way she'd smile So I went around with her for a while And I kind of thought of her as my bride to be I said, "You're the one girl in my life And I'd like to have you for my wife" She said, "Now what would your wife do with me?"
Chorus: Beware of wild women, those wild, wild women Those wild, wild women around Beware of wild women, those wild, wild women And never ever let 'em get you down
One day I met a movie star She was just getting out of her Rolls Royce car And she was all covered in diamonds and mink Now I kind of liked a gal with money And this one, well, she was a real honey So I said, "Maybe one day you and I could have a little drink"
She said, "You're just my kind of man" She stuck a phone number in my hand She said, "Now phone me up next time that you're in town" I said, "Is this your penthouse," she said, "No It's the fish and chip shop down below But you just phone me up and they'll call me down"
Chorus
Now I was in a Chelsea bar one day And there was a chap stood about five feet away And we was both admiring a girl about twenty-one I said, "You just can't help but stare At that cute little chick with the long blonde hair" He said, "That chick just happens to be my son"
I said, "I didn't mean to offend You must let me make amends I mean at least let me buy you another rum I said, "You must think me an awful cad I didn't know you was his dad" He said, "I'm not, you twit, I'm his mum"
All The Time Composer(s): Barry Manilow - Marty Panzer First release by: Barry Manilow - 1976
All The Time I thought there's only me crazy in a way that no one else could be I would have given everything I own If someone would have said you're not alone All The Time all the wasted time All the years waiting for a sign To think I had it all All The Time All The Time I thought that I was wrong wanting to be but needing to belong If I had just believed in all I had If someone would have said you're not so bad All The Time all the wasted time All the years waiting for a sign To think I had it all All The Time All The Time I Thought there's only me crazy in a way that no one else could be I can't believe that you were somewhere too thinking All The Time there's only you All The Time all the wasted time All the years waiting for a sign To think I had it all All The Time
Wild Wild Angel Composer(s): Jennifer Blake Performer(s): Smokie
Oh the ocean is deep And my heart cannot sleep 'Cause the wind blows my heart to you And it cuts like a knife Every time you say goodbye You're a wild wild angel just for me 'Cause my heart cries so loud But you don't hear the sound I can love you till I die
Wild wild angel rescue me Wild wild angel can't you see Oh wild wild angel it's too late to cry Wild wild angel come to me Wild wild angel can't you see Oh wild wild angel gimme one more try
Oh you're hearing my heart But it's breaking apart 'Cause your love is so hard to find And I'm too proud to cry But too real to live a lie You're a wild wild angel all the time 'Cause my heart has no pride And I know it's not right I will love you till I die My wild wild angel
All The Things She Said Composer(s): Charlie Burchill - Mel Gaynor - John Giblin - Jim Kerr - Mick MacNeil Performer(s): Simple Minds
Don't you look back on a big lost world Crying out tomorrow Don't you look down like the heroes say Come tell me all about it Take me to the streets where the bonfires burn Take me in your arms and I'll fade away When I hear you say what you got to say Anywhere you go, you know I'll still be waiting All the things she said, she said Little darling close your eyes, there'll be no compromising Of all the things she said, she said
Throw me to the street where the heartbeats beating "beating all around me" To the peaceful revolution And the perfect wave, surround me Tell me 'bout the ocean moving in slow motion I see it glitter in the sun Then it's freezing in the moonlight Never look back, never look back, never look away
If freedom comes and goes, you know I'll still be waiting All the things she said, she said You've fought the fight so long, no surrender to temptation Of all the things she said, she said
Stars will fall out for you Luck will surrender I'm calling out to you
Oh to be near you in the first morning light I'd be with you, I dream about you If I could leave here, I would leave here tonight I'd be with you, I'd stay with you tonight Tonight
Anywhere you go, you know I'll still be waiting Of all the things she said, she said When I look into your eyes, I see a new day rising Oh all the things she said, she said Through the eyes of love, and to never know what hate is Of all the things she said, she said She said, this is our time, she said, this is our place This is the space my heart wants to be Little darling close your eyes, there'll be no compromising All the things she said, she said
