All We Ever Wanted Was Everything
Composer(s): Daniel Ash - Kevin Haskins - David J - Peter Murphy
First release by: Bauhaus - 1982
Covered by multiple other artists



All we ever wanted was everything
All we ever got was cold
Get up, eat jelly
Sandwich bars, and barbed wire
Squash every week into a day

The sound of drums is calling
The sound of the drum has called
Flash of youth shoot out of darkness
Factorytown

Oh to be the cream
(repeat)

Willin'
Composer(s): Lowell George
Performer(s): Little Feat



I been warped by the rain, driven by the snow
I'm drunk and dirty, don't ya know
And I'm still, oh I'm still

Out on the road late at night
I seen my pretty Alice in every head light
Alice, Dallas Alice

And I've been from Tucson to Tucumcari, Tehachapi to Tonapah
Driven every kind of rig that's ever been made
Driven the back roads so I wouldn't get weighed
And if you give me weed, whites, and wine
And you show me a sign
I'll be willin', to be movin'

I've been kicked by the wind, robbed by the sleet
Had my head stoved in but I'm still on my feet
And I'm still

Smuggled some smokes and folks from Mexico
Baked by the sun, every time I go to Mexico
And I'm still

I've been from Tucson to Tucumcari, Tehachapi to Tonapah
Driven every kind of rig that's ever been made
Driven the back roads so I wouldn't get weighed
And if you give me: weed, whites, and wine
and you show me a sign
I'll be willin', to be movin'

All Touch
Composer(s): Carole Pope - Kevan Staples
Performer(s): Rough Trade



I pushed her tense face away from me
I pushed her tense face away from me
The hard smile the voice going on like a razor blade on glass
All touch but no contact
It hit me like it hit me like
It hit me like a slap
All touch and no contact

I pushed his hand away from me
I pushed his hand away from me
Splintering fragments of conversation
Never got down to cold hard facts
All touch but no contact
It stabbed me like it stabbed me like
It stabbed me like
A knife in the back
All touch and no contact

Tense my body for the final attack
All touch and no contact

I pushed her tense face away from me
I pushed her tense face away from me
The hard smile the voice going on like a razor blade on glass
All touch but no contact
It hit me like it hit me like
It hit me like a slap
All touch and no contact

Challenging eyes over the rim of a cocktail glass
Hoping I'd react
All touch but no contact

Willie, Waylon And Me
Composer(s): David Allan Coe
Performer(s): David Allan Coe



I'd heard The Burritos out in California
could fly higher than The Byrds
Roger McGuinn had a 12 string guitar
It was like nothing I'd ever heard
And The Eagles flew in from the west coast
Like The Byrds they were trying to be free
While in Texas the talk turned to Outlaws
Like Willie and Waylon and me.

Hey!
Well they say Texas music is in the make
And we've been making music that is free
Doing one night stands and playing with our bands
Willie, Waylon and me

Oh Mad Dog!

They say The Beatles were just the beginning
of everything music could be
Just like The Stones I was rolling along
Like a ship lost out on the sea
And Joplin would die for the future
And Dylan would write poetry
And in Texas the talk turned to Outlaws
Like Willie and Waylon and me

Hey!
My name is David Allen Coe and I'm from Dallas Texas
They say Texas music is in the make
And we've been making music that is free
Doing one night stands and playing with our bands
Willie, Waylon and me

Big Jim!

I'd heard The Burritos out in California
could fly higher than The Byrds

It was like nothing I'd ever heard
And The Eagles flew in from the west coast
Like The Byrds they were trying to be free
While in Texas the talk turned to Outlaws
Like Willie and Waylon and me

All Too Soon
Composer(s): Carl Sigman - Duke Ellington
Performer(s): Ella Fitzgerald



All too soon
We had to part
The moment you had touched my heart
And with you went my dream
All too soon

All too sweet
Was our affair
And you put all the sweetness there
What a shame that it's gone
All too soon

I knew the strange delights
That only you in love could bring
And as I reached the heights
The bottom fell from everything

You should know as well as I
Our love deserves another try
For we whispered goodbye
All too soon
Too soon

Willie can you do them true?
Willie can, Willie can, Willie can, fair lady
If Willie takes a shine to you

All Tomorrow's Parties
((German Version: Alle Morgens Parties (by Kendra Smith) - 1987))
Composer(s): Lou Reed
First release by: The Velvet Underground & Nico - 1967
Covered by multiple other artists



And what costume shall the poor girl wear
To all tomorrow's parties
A hand-me-down dress from who knows where
To all tomorrow's parties
And where will she go and what shall she do
When midnight comes around
She'll turn once more to Sunday's clown
And cry behind the door

And what costume shall the poor girl wear
To all tomorrow's parties
Why silks and linens of yesterday's gowns
To all tomorrow's parties

And what will she do with Thursday's rags
When Monday comes around
She'll turn once more to Sunday's clown
And cry behind the door

And what costume shall the poor girl wear
To all tomorrow's parties
For Thursday's child is Sunday's clown
For whom none will go mourning

A blackened shroud, a hand-me-down gown
Of rags and silks, a costume
Fit for one who sits and cries
For all tomorrow's parties 

Willie And The Hand Jive 
Composer(s): Johnny Otis
Performer(s): Johnny Otis



I know a cat named way out Willie
He got a cool little chick named rockin' Millie
He can dance and stroll and Susie-Q
Do that crazy hand jive too

Papa told Willie you'll ruin my home
Say you and that hand jive just got to go
Willie told Papa don't put me down
Doing that hand jive all over town

Chorus
Hand jive
Hand jive
Doing that crazy hand jive

Mama, mama look at Uncle Joe
He's doing that hand jive with sister Flo
And grandma gave baby sister a dime
Do that hand jive just one more time

Doctor and a lawyer and an Indian chief
Lord, they all digging that crazy beat
Way out Willie gives them all a treat
Lord he's doing that hand jive with his feet

Willie and Lily got married last fall
They had a little Willie Junior, and that ain't all
The kid got famous in his crib, you see
Lord he's doing that hand jive on TV

All Together
Composer(s): Miles Rudge - Ted Dick
Performer(s): Anthony Newley



It goes all together, with a pum tiddle liddle
Can't think whether there's a pum in the middle
Once you've heard it you'll sing it all day long 
What a lovely song! Hang on a mo--

It goes all together, and it -- no, wait a minute 
Can't think whether there's a pum tiddle in it 
What a pity, I've forgotten it because
You'd love it, I know, if I knew what it was

The bit in the middle is kind of sort of
More like a waltz gone wrong.
A singable song of the sort that we're short of
As soon as I begin
You'll want to join in 

It goes all together, but there's no use in going
Hell for leather, when there's no way of knowing
Even whether I'm singing it all wrong
So hang on a mo--
While I have a go
At sorting out this simple yet very unforgettable song.

The fella what sung it was kind of, sort of
More or less drunk with song
Long in the hair, it was breath he was short of
As soon as I heard it I knew every word
Of this song that I heard

It goes all together with a pum tiddle liddle
Can't think whether there's a pum in the middle
Words were clever, what a lovely song
No, hang on a mo--
I remember every part of it
Oh, let yourself go
And we'll do it from the start of it
Now, all together, we're getting in the mood
No, hang on a mo--
It's rude!

William Tell
Composer(s): Gioacchino Rossini; Harold Purcell
Performer(s): David Whitfield



Come away, come away with William Tell
Come away to the land he loved so well
What a day, what a day when the apple fell
For Tell and Switzerland

Come away with Tell to the mountainside
Looking down to the pass where the tyrants ride
Set a bolt to your bow and down they go
For Tell and Switzerland

We are simple peasant folk
We will not fell a foreign yoke
Our freedom song will echo on
We’ll fight for what is right

Hurry on, hurry on there’s a pungent cell
Hurry on, hurry on there’s a noose as well
What we must face from the jaws of hell
For Tell and Switzerland

We lived our lives, we loved our friends
We never wanted more
We had the skill to plough and till
But not the art of war
But now the tyrant from the plains
Steals up to take our lands
Instead of spade we wield the blade
Our life is in our hands

Follow on, follow on with the leaders feel
With a thrust of a pike and a clash of steel
Follow on with the fight till the tyrants reel
For Tell and Switzerland

Give ‘em one for the day they bared the grain
Give ‘em two for the night that Fritz was slain
Give ‘em three, give ‘em four and hooray for more
For Tell and Switzerland

The shepherd’s crook, the reaping hook
Has taken on a warlike look
With blades we’ve beaten from the plough
We reap a harvest now.

Come away, come away with William Tell
Come away to the land he loved so well
Fit a bolt to your bow, and away we go
For Te-e-e-ell, and Switzerland

All Time High
((Dutch Version: Alsof Ik Zweef (by Liliane Saint-Pierre) - 1998))
Composer(s): John Barry - Tim Rice
First release by: Rita Coolidge - 1983
Covered by multiple other artists



All I wanted was a sweet distraction for an hour or two
Had no intention to do the things we've done
Funny how it always goes with love, when you don't look, you find 
But then we're two of a kind, we move as one

We're an all time high, we'll change all that's gone before
Doing so much more than falling in love
On an all time high, we'll take on the world and wait
So hold on tight, let the flight begin

I don't want to waste a waking moment, I don't want to sleep
I'm in so strong and so deep, and so are you
In my time I've said these words before, but now I realiz
My heart was telling me lies, for you they're true

We're an all time high, we'll change all that's gone before ...
So hold on tight, let the flight begin 
We're an all time high

William Burke's Execution
(Traditional)



Let old and young unto my song
A while attention pay
The news I'll tell will please you well
The monster Burke's away
At the head of Libberton Wynd
He finished his career
There's few, I'm sure, rich or poor
For him would shed a tear

Chorus:
Now Burke, the murderer, is dead
His troubles here are o'er
We can't tell where his spririt's fled
He'll Burke the folk no more

Eighteen hundred and twenty nine
Let it recorded be
Twenty eight day of January
He suffer'd on a tree
To Edinbro', numbers did go
That day before 'twas noon
For to see Burke, that cruel Turk
Receive his awful doom

They brought him from Calton Jail
Some time in the night
They thought the crowd would do the job
Had they waited till light
From the Lock-up they brought Burke
Out about the hour of eight
Where about forty-thousand folk
Impatiently did wait

The injur'd crowd, they groan'd aloud
This monster to behold
Who in his time had thought no crime
To murder young and old
When the scaffold he did ascend
The people all did cry
Bring out Will Hare, we think it fair
That he should also die

As round his neck the rope it went
The shouts did rend the sky
It's "Burke him, Burke him," the bloodhound
The people all did cry
The shouts they did continue on
Until he was cut down
The like was never heard before
In Edinbro' town

His bloody den, it does remain
For strangers to behold
Where him and Hare, they did not spare
The lives of young or old
In memory his bones will be
Preserved for years to come
Ye Burkites! now beware, lest you
Do meet with the same doom

Chorus

Alsof Ik Zweef
((Adapted from: All Time High (by Rita Coolidge) - 1983))
Composer(s): John Barry - Tim Rice - Mary Boduin
Performer(s): Liliane Saint-Pierre - 1998



Ik was enkel maar een avontuurtje voor een korte nacht
En meer had ik niet gedacht voor jij verscheen
Gek toch hoe het in de liefde gaat wanneer je niets verwacht
Maar door die aantrekkingskracht zijn wij als één

Net alsof ik zweef, als jij met die ogen kijkt
Ik opnieuw herleef, alles lente lijkt
Net alsof ik zweef, je laat me de wereld zien
Zo zalig vrij allebei, zijn wij

Oh ik wil geen enkele minuut verliezen dus slaap ik niet meer
Ik zoek je altijd maar weer en jij vindt mij
Zo vaak dacht ik dat ik eindelijk 't geluk gevonden had
Maar het was meestal niet dat en het ging voorbij

Net alsof ik zweef, als jij met die ogen kijkt
Ik opnieuw herleef, alles lente lijkt
Net alsof ik zweef, je laat me de wereld zien
Zo zalig vrij allebei, zijn wij
Zo zalig vrij allebei, zijn wij

Net alsof ik zweef, als jij met die ogen kijkt
Ik opnieuw herleef, alles lente lijkt
Net alsof ik zweef, je laat me de wereld zien
Zo zalig vrij allebei, zijn wij
Zo zalig vrij allebei, zijn wij
Net alsof ik zweef

Will You?
Composer(s): Brian Gibson
Performer(s): Hazel O'Connor



You drink your coffee and I sip my tea
And we're sitting here playing so cool 
thinking "What will be, will be"
But it's getting kind of late now
Oh I wonder if you'll stay now, stay now, stay now, stay now
Or will you just politely say goodnight?

I move a little closer to you, not knowing quite what to do
And I'm feeling all fingers and thumbs, I spill my tea, oh silly me!
But it's getting kind of late now
I wonder if you'll stay now, stay now, stay now, stay now
Or will you just politely say goodnight?

And then we touch much too much
This moment has been waiting for a long long time
Makes me shiver, it makes me quiver
This moment I am so unsure
This moment I have waited for
Was it something you've been waiting for, waiting for too?

Take off your ice, bare your soul
Gather me to you and make me whole
Tell me your secrets, sing me the song
Sing it to me in the silent dawn
But it's getting kind of late now
I wonder if you'll stay now, stay now, stay now, stay now
Or will you just politely say goodnight?

All Through The Night

Performer(s): The Kingston Trio
and multiple other artists



Sleep, my Child, and peace attend Thee, all through the night
Guardian angels God will send Thee, all through the night
Soft the drowsy hours are creeping, hill and vale in slumber sleeping
God, His loving vigil keeping, all through the night

While the moon her watch is keeping, all through the night
While the weary world is sleeping, all through the night
Through Your dreams You're swiftly stealing, visions of delight revealing
Christmas time is so appealing, all through the night

You, my God, a Babe of wonder, all through the night
Dreams You dream can't break from thunder, all through the night
Children's dreams cannot be broken; life is but a lovely token
Christmas should be softly spoken all through the night

Will You Still Be Mine?
Composer(s): Tom Adair; Matt Dennis
Performer(s): Connie Haines;
and various other artists



Ever since my heart took such a tumble
I've wondered if your love for me would last
When landmarks fall and institutions crumble
Will it be just a memory of the past?

When lovers make no rendezvous
And stroll along Fifth Avenue
When this familiar world is through
Will you still be mine?

When cabs don't drive around the park
No windows light the summer dark
When love has lost its secret spark
Will you still be mine?

When moonlight on the Hudson's not romancy
And spring no longer turns a young man's fancy

When glamour girls have lost their charms
And sirens just mean false alarms
When lovers heed no call to arms
Will you still be mine?

When Elsa's parties are no fun
When FDR declines to run
When Eleanor of "My Day" is done
Will you still be mine?

When Garbo gives out interviews
And Harlem folk forget the blues
When G-Man Hoover's out of clues
Will you still be mine?

A song of love will just remain a gay note
When we have finally paid our FHA note

When Barrymore first hides his face
And when Yehudi leaves a trace
When Crosby's horses win a race
Will you still be mine?

All Through The Night

Covered by multiple other artists



All through the night
I'll be awake and I'll be with you
All through the night
This precious time when time is new
Oh, all through the night today
Knowing that we feel the same without saying

We have no past we won't reach back
Keep with me forward all through the night
And once we start the meter clicks
And it goes running all through the night
Until it ends there is no end

All through the night
stray cat is crying so stray cat sings back
All through the night
They have forgotten what by day they lack
Oh under those white street lamps
There is a little chance they may see

We have no past we won't reach back
Keep with me forward all through the night
And once we start the meter clicks
And it goes running all through the night
Until it ends there is no end

Oh the sleep in your eyes is enough
Let me be there let me stay there awhile

We have no past we won't reach back
Keep with me forward all through the night
And once we start the meter clicks
And it goes running all through the night
Until it ends there is no end
Keep with me forward all through the night
And once we start the meter clicks
And it goes running all through the night
Until it ends there is no end

Sweetheart, sweetheart, sweetheart

Sweetheart, sweetheart, sweetheart

Ah love is so sweet in the springtime
When blossoms are fragrant in May
No years that are coming can bring time
To make me forget dear, this day
I love you in life's gray December
The same as I love you today
My heart ever young will remember
The thrill it knew, that day in May

Sweetheart, sweetheart, sweetheart
Will you love me ever?
Will you remember this day?
When we were happy in May
My dearest one

Sweetheart, sweetheart, sweetheart
Though our paths may sever
To life's last faint ember
Will you Remember?
Springtime, lovetime, May
Springtime, lovetime, May

Soft the drowsy hours are creeping
Hill and dale in slumber steeping

All through the night

Will You Remember Mine
Composer(s): Willie Nelson
Performer(s): Willie Nelson; Timi Yuro



Sweet is the song, when the song is love
Love that has stood the test of time
And when you've heard all the songs of love
Will you remember mine

Gone are the days that I walked with you
And I held your hand in mine
Now when you hold another's hand
Will you remember mine

I have sat 'neath the trees while a cool summer's breeze
Blew away the sands of time
And I dreamed of days when you were here
Remembering when you were mine

But gone are the times when I held you close
And pressed your lips to mine
Now when you kiss another's lips
Will you remember mine

Will you remember mine
