Always Unknowing Composer(s): Bryan Ferry Performer(s): Roxy Music
Following the morning star But there´s no sense In always running Take what you want to know Just give me time Always unknowing World passing by That´s how it looks Always unknowing Don´t you leave my side There is no sense In always running Just one more time Is all I need Always unknowing Hold back tonight With your sight Always unknowing
Woman In Black Composer(s): Mick Jones Performer(s): Foreigner
I knew the moment I walked through that door I felt so close to a burning sensation It got so warm As I moved across the floor My body aching with anticipation
I saw a dark silhouette, at the table I tried to talk, but I was unable She drew me in right under her spell I was hypnotized by the sudden temptation
Of that woman in black, she's a mystery She's everything a woman should be Woman in black, she's got a hold on me She's in control, she won't set me free
She is a woman She's not a girl anymore The kind that stirs up a young man's imagination She's dressed to kill And I'm so ready to fall Into her world full of strange fascination
I see that dark silhouette, at the table I can't resist, my body's not able She draws me in, but she teaches me well I never need any explanation
From that woman in black, she's a mystery She's everything a woman should be I said, woman in black, got a hold on me She's in control, she won't set me free
Ooh, woman in black It's too late now I can't turn back 'Cause I'm a fool for that woman Woman in black Ooh, ooh, woman in black
Ooh, that woman in black, she's a mystery She's everything a woman should be That woman in black, she's got a hold on me She's in control, she won't set me free
She's my mysterious mistress But she leaves me so helpless My woman in black She's a dark senorita My woman in black No Sunday school teacher My woman in black We're keeping it a secret We meet in the night We're partners in silence Strangers in daylight

Woman Down In Memphis Composer(s): Carson J. Robison; Frank Luther Performer(s): The Red Clay Ramblers
Woman down in Memphis Bought myself a forty-four Listen to my warning Stay away from my front door Gone and thought the whole thing over Now I know you had me blind Oh! Woman down in Memphis Goin' to get you off my mind
Woman down in Memphis Told me that your love was true Said that we would soon get married Said you'd always do me right Oh! Woman, you was triflin' Soon as I was out of sight
I went to the doctor Asked him what was wrong with me Said I'd have to leave this country Get away from Memphis town Oh! He said I'd been grievin' 'Till my health was all broke down
Woman down in Memphis Listen to my lonesome song Woman down in Memphis Won't be singin' very long When they take me to the graveyard Lay me in the cold cold ground Oh! Woman down in Memphis Hope the Lord will strike you down
Always Have, Always Will Composer(s): Johnny Mears Performer(s): Janie Fricke
It seems funny I remember your number After all this time And I know that it's late And I hope that I'm not out o' line
But for some crazy reason I bin thinkin' 'bout you all day And every three hours now I bin thinkin' of somethin' to say I
love you like a fool Always have, always will But you know that it's just my point of view But I love you still Always have, always will Always have, always will love you
Well now, are you sleepin' any better Now that I'm gone And I wanna know who's holdin' you tight Or are you just holdin' on
You're awfully quiet, I guess you're tired So I'll hang up the phone But you know that this ol' heart Can't leave well enough alone
I love you like a fool Always have, always will But you know, yes you know that it's just my point of view But I, I love you still Always have, always will Always have, always will love you
Woman (Uh-Huh) Composer(s): Dick Gleason Performer(s): José Ferrer & Rosemary Clooney; Johnny Desmond
Ferrer: Oh woman, oh woman, oh what can she be Whatever she is, she's necessary
A woman is something both evil and good But too complicated to be understood An angel when lovin', a devil when mad A woman can make you both happy and sad
Uh-huh (Clooney: Um-hum) Uh-huh (Clooney: Um-hum) Uh-huh (Clooney: Um-hum) Uh-huh (Clooney: Um-hum) Oh woman, oh woman, oh what can she be Whatever she is, she's necessary
Afraid of a cricket, she'll scream at a mouse But she'll tackle a husband as big as a house She'll take him for better, she'll take him for worse She'll bust his head open and then be his nurse
Uh-huh (Clooney: Um-hum) Uh-huh (Clooney: Um-hum) Uh-huh (Clooney: Um-hum) Uh-huh (Clooney: Um-hum) Oh woman, oh woman, oh what can she be Whatever she is, she's necessary
She's bashful, deceitful, keen sighted and blind Simple and crafty, and cruel and kind In the morning she does, in the evening she don't You're always a thinkin' she will, but she won't
Uh-huh (Clooney: Um-hum) Uh-huh (Clooney: Um-hum) Uh-huh (Clooney: Um-hum) Uh-huh (Clooney: Ha-ha-ha) Oh woman, oh woman, oh what can she be Whatever she is, she's necessary
Clooney: Girls, turn this record over and listen to the Wife's side!

Wolf Creek Pass Composer(s): Bill Fries; Chip Davis Performer(s): C.W. McCall
Me an' Earl was haulin' chickens On a flatbed outa Wiggins And we had spent all night on the uphill side Of thirty seven miles of hell called Wolf Crick Pass Which was up on the great divide
And we was sittin' there suckin' toothpicks And drinkin' Nehis an' onion soup mix And I says "Earl, let's mail a card to mother And then send them chickens on down t'other side" Yeah, lets give them hens a ride
Wolf Crick Pass way up on the great divide Truckin' on down, the other side
Well Earl put down his bottle Mashed his foot down on the throttle And then a couple of boobs, with a thousand cubes In a 1948 Peterbuilt screamed to life We woke up the chickens
We roared up off'n that shoulder Sprayin' pine cones rocks 'n boulders And put four hundred head of them Road Island Reds And a couple of burnt out roosters on the line Look out below... 'cause here we go
Wolf Crick Pass way up on the great divide Truckin' on down, the other side
Well we commenced a truckin' And them hens commenced a cluckin' Then Earl took out a match, and scratched his pants And lit up the unused half of a dollar cigar And took a puff Says "My ain't this pretty up here"
And I says "Earl this hill can spill us You better slow down or you gonna kill us Just make one mistake and it's the pearly gates For them eighty five crates Of USDA approved cluckers You wanna hit second?"
Wolf Crick Pass way up on the great divide Truckin' on down, the other side
Well Earl grabbed on the shifter And he stabbed her into fifth gear And then the chromium plated, fully illuminated Genuine ac-cessory shift knob Come right off in his hand I says "you wana screw that thing back on Earl?"
He was tryin' to thread it on there When the fire fell off a his cigar And dropped on down sorta rolled around And lit the cuff of Earls pants And burnt a whole in his sock Yeah it sorta set him right on fire
I looked on outa the window An' I started in a countin' phone poles Goin' by at the rate of four to the seventh power I put two an' two together Added twelve, an' carried five Come up with twenty two thousand telephone poles an hour
I looked at Earl an' his eyes was wide His lip was curled and his leg was fried And his hands was froze to the wheel Like a tongue to a sled in the middle of a blizzard And I said Earl I'm not the type to complain But the time has come for me to explain That if you don't apply some brake real soon They're gonna have to pick us up with a stick an' a spoon
Well Earl rared back Cocked his leg Stepped down as hard as he could on the brake And the pedal went clear to the floor And stayed - right there on the floor Says it's sorta like steppin' on a plum Well from there on down it just wasn't real pretty It was hairpin county and switchback city One of 'em looked like a can full of worms Another one looked like malaria germs Right in the middle of the whole damn show Was a real nice tunnel now wouldn't you know Sign says clearance to the twelve foot line But them chickens was stacked to thirteen nine Well we shot that tunnel at a hundred an' ten Like gas through a funnel an' eggs through a hen An' we took that top row of chickens off Slicker 'n the scum off a Louisiana swamp Went down an' around an' around an' down An' we run outta ground at the edge of town An' bashed on into the side of a feed store In downtown Pagosa Springs
Wolf Crick Pass way up on the great divide Truckin' on down, the other side

Wolf Call Composer(s): Bill Giant; Bernie Baum; Florence Kaye Performer(s): Elvis Presley
Flip, flop an' fly-eye What a cutie pie I see Oops shoopa doo-wah Lips of honey that's for me
Shim sham shimmie I can't forget you baby, there's no doubt I saw you standing 'gainst the wall I whistled and I gave my all Now don't tell me you don't fall For a little wolf call
Just a little kiss'll put me in a whirl I'll never whistle dearie at another girl You love me well we'll have a ball Why do you try to stall Now don't tell me you don't fall For a little wolf call For that wolf call For that wolf call
Althea Composer(s): Jerry Garcia - Robert Hunter Performer(s): Grateful Dead; Culture; Pickin' On
I told Althea I was feeling lost Lackin' in some direction Althea told me upon scrutiny that my Back might need protection I told Althea that treachery Was tearin' me limb from limb Althea told me, now, cool down boy Settle back, easy Jim
You may be Saturday's child all alone Movin' with tinge of grace You may be a clown in the burying ground Or just another pretty face You my be the fate of Ophelia Sleepin' and perchance to dream Honest to the point of recklessness Self-centered in the extreme
Ain't nobody messin' with you but you Your friends are getting most concerned Loose with the truth baby, it's your fire Baby, I hope you don't get burned When the smoke has cleared she said That's what she said to me Gonna want a bed to lay your head And a little sympathy
There are things you can replace And others you can not The time has come to weigh those things This space is getting hot You know this space is getting hot
I told Althea I'm a roving son And I was born to be a bachelor Althea told me, OK, that's fine So now I'm tryin' to catch her Can't talk to you without talkin' to me We're guilty of the same old thing Thinkin' a lot about less and less And forgetting the love we bring
Wolf At Your Door Composer(s): Marvin Lee Aday; Steve Buslowe Performer(s): Meat Loaf
Two a.m. with the lost and the lonely Walkin' past the kids, comin' back from the party Smiles on their faces, you remember so well how it was Nights in the back of that Buick that you got runnin' Your baby by your side, told the whole world you're comin'
Chorus: Work so hard to do what is right Believed in what you're doin', but so many fights Trusted too many, believed too much, workin' your life to the bone
There's a wolf at your door, he wants your money, wants your soul A wolf at your door, you give it all, he wants more There's a wolf at your door, he says he's playin' for keeps Breathin' down your neck, boy it's sure hard to sleep With a wolf at your door
They'll take it away, when you're not lookin' Look you in the eyes, tell you how good they're doin' Smiles on their faces, are lies to keep you from knowin' You're not guilty, you are the victim, but you still pay for the crime Don't look for trouble, it'll always find you in time
Work so hard to do what is right Believed in what you're doin', but so many fights Trusted too many, relieved too much, workin' your life to the bone
There's a wolf at your door, he says he's playin' for keeps Breathin' down your neck, boy it's sure hard to sleep With a wolf at your door
It won't be broken, I'll fight 'til I drop, blood burnin' hot in my veins But they won't be satisfied until they take everything
Alta Marea ((Adapted from: Don't Dream It's Over (Crowded House) - 1986)) Composer(s): Neil Finn - Antonello Venditti Performer(s): Antonello Venditti - 1991 and multiple other artists
Autostrada deserta al confine del mare sento il cuore più forte di questo motore sigarette mai spente sulla radio che parla io che guido seguendo le luci dell'alba Lo so, lo sai la mente vola fuori dal tempo e si ritrova sola senza più corpo ne prigioniera nasce l'aurora Tu sei dentro di me come l'alta marea che scompare e riappare portandoti via sei il mistero profondo la passione l'idea sei l'immensa paura che tu non sia mia lo so, lo sai il tempo vola ma quanta strada per rivederti ancora per uno sguardo per il mio orgoglio quanto ti voglio... quanto ti voglio... Tu sei dentro di me come l'alta marea che scompare e riappare portandoti via sei il mistero profondo la passione l'idea sei l'immensa paura che tu non sia mia Lo so, lo sai il tempo vola ma quanta strada per rivederti ancora per uno sguardo per il mio orgoglio quanto ti voglio... per dirti quanto ti voglio per dirti quanto ti voglio per dirti quanto ti voglio...
Woeful Heart With Grief Oppressed Composer(s): John Dowland Performer(s): Alice Babs
Woeful heart with grief oppressed since my fortune most distressed from my joys hath me removed Follow those sweet eyes adored those sweet eyes wherein are stored all my pleasures best beloved
Fly, my breast, leave me forsaken Wherein grief his seat hath taken all his arrows through me darting Thou mayst live by her sunshining I shall suffer no more pining by thy loss than by her parting
