    An American Trilogy
    Composer(s): Mickey Newbury
    First release by: Mickey Newbury - 1971
    Covered by multiple other artists



    Oh I wish I was in the land of cotton
    Old things they are not forgotten
    Look away, look away, look away Dixieland
    Oh I wish I was in Dixie, away, away
    In Dixieland I take my stand to live and die in Dixie
    Cause Dixieland, that's where I was born
    Early Lord one frosty morning
    Look away, look away, look away Dixieland

    Glory, glory hallelujah
    Glory, glory hallelujah
    Glory, glory hallelujah
    His truth is marching on

    So hush little baby
    Don't you cry
    You know your daddy's bound to die
    But all my trials, Lord will soon be over

    Dance The Night Away With You
    Composer(s): Mac Rebennack; Doc Pomus
    Performer(s): Dr. John



    We could drink until we get real high
    try to drink every bar dry
    Taste so good that high price stuff
    you never know when you've had enough
    But there is nothin' I would rather do
    than to dance, dance the night away with you

    We could talk the whole darm night away
    'cos we got so much to say
    I could talk holes in your head
    remember every word I said
    But there is nothin' I would rather do
    than to dance, dance the night away with you

    We could climb a mountain high
    or walk a valley deep
    or we could get stoned
    and fall off a lover's leap

    We could talk the whole darn night away
    'cos we got so much to say
    I could talk holes in your head
    remember every word I said
    But there is nothin' I would rather do
    than to dance, dance the night away with you

    There is nothin' I would rather do
    than to dance, dance the night away with you
    There is nothin' I would rather do
    than to dance, dance the night away with you
    There is nothing I would rather do
    than to dance, dance the night away with you

    An Affair To Remember
    Composer(s): Harold Adamson - Leo McCarey - Harry Warren
    Performer(s): Nat King Cole



    Our love affair is a wondrous thing
    That we'll rejoice in remembering
    Our love was born with our first embrace
    And a page was torn out of time and space

    Our love affair, may it always be
    A flame to burn through eternity
    So take my hand with a fervent prayer
    That we may live and we may share
    A love affair to remember

    Our love affair is a wondrous thing
    That we'll rejoice in remembering
    Our love was born with our first embrace
    And a page was torn out of time and space

    Our love affair, may it always be
    A flame to burn through eternity
    So take my hand with a fervent prayer
    That we may live and we may share
    A love affair to remember

    Have you seen her?
    So fine and pretty
    Fooled me with her style and ease
    And I feel her from across the room
    Yes, it's love in the third degree
    Ooh, baby, baby
    Won'tcha turn your head my way?
    Ooh, baby, baby
    Come on, take a chance
    You're old enough to dance the night away
    Oh, come on, baby, dance the night away
    A live wire
    Barely a beginner, but just watch that lady go
    She's on fire, 'cause dancing gets her higher than anything else she knows
    Ooh, baby, baby
    Won'tcha turn your head my way?
    Ooh, baby, baby
    Well, don't skip romance, 'cause you're old enough to dance the night away
    Oh, come on, baby, dance the night away
    Dance the night away
    Dance, dance, dance the night away

    Amusement Parks, U.S.A.
    Composer(s): Mike Love - Brian Wilson
    Performer(s): The Beach Boys



    Let's take your car and to amusement parks USA
    At Palisades in Salisbury Parks the rolly coasters are flyin
    At Euclid Beach on the flying turns I'll bet you can't keep her smilin'
    Buy your girl a cotton candy while you're down on the ground
    Then take her on the twirl-a-way and spin her around
    Let's take your car and mess around at the park all day

    The parachutes at Riverview Park will shake us up all day
    And Disneyland and P.O.P. is worth a trip to L.A.
    Watchin' girls in the air can really get you bad
    And I'll bet the laughin' lady makes you laugh like mad
    Let's pick up our friends and do amusement parks USA

    Hurry, hurry, hurry folks step right up to the Beach Boy circus
    The best little show in town
    Hurry, hurry, hurry, it's only a dime folks, one thin dime, just one tenth of a dollar
    Come on in and see Stella the snake dancer (Is it real?)
    She walks, she talks, she wiggles on her belly like a snake
    (She looks like a fake to me) (Let's go see her) (It costs too much)
    Hurry, hurry, hurry folks, come on and see Stella
    She shimmies, she shakes. . . .

    You'll crash and burn in the bumper cars at Jersey's steel pier
    You'll crack 'em up when you stand in front of all the crazy mirrors
    At first you'll be a chicken at the jackhammer ride
    But you'll do it with a girl sittin' right by your side
    Let's take your car and mess around at the park all day

    Gonna build myself a castle
    High up in the clouds
    There'll be skies outside my window
    Lose these streets and crowds
    Dance the night away

    Will find myself an ocean
    Sail into the blue
    Live with golden swordfish
    Forget the time of you
    Dance the night away

    Dance myself to nothing
    Vanish from this place
    Gonna turn myself to shadow
    So I can't see your face
    Dance the night away

    Amused To Death
    Composer(s): Roger Waters
    Performer(s): Roger Waters



    Doctor Doctor what is wrong with me
    This supermarket life is getting long
    What is the heart life of a colour TV
    What is the shelf life of a teenage queen
    Ooh western woman
    Ooh western girl
    News hound sniffs the air
    When Jessica Hahn goes down
    He latches on to that symbol
    Of detachment
    Attracted by the peeling away of feeling
    The celebrity of the abused shell the belle
    Ooh western woman
    Ooh western girl
    And the children of Melrose
    Strut their stuff
    Is absolute zero cold enough
    And out in the valley warm and clean
    The little ones sit by their TV screens
    No thoughts to think
    No tears to cry
    All sucked dry
    Down to the very last breath
    Bartender what is wrong with me
    Why am I so out of breath
    The captain said excuse me ma'am
    This species has amused itself to death
    Amused itself to death
    Amused itself to death
    We watched the tragedy unfold
    We did as we were told
    We bought and sold
    It was the greatest show on earth
    But then it was over
    We ohhed and aahed
    We drove our racing cars
    We ate our last few jars of caviar
    And somewhere out there in the stars
    A keen-eyed look-out
    Spied a flickering light
    Our last hurrah
    And when they found our shadows
    Grouped around the TV sets
    They ran down every lead
    They repeated every test
    They checked out all the data on their lists
    And then the alien anthropologists
    Admitted they were still perplexed
    But on eliminating every other reason
    For our sad demise
    They logged the only explanation left
    This species has amused itself to death
    No tears to cry no feelings left
    This species has amused itself to death

    (Switch Channels)

    (Alf Razzell:)
    "Years later, I saw Bill Hubbard's name on the memorial to the missing at Aras(?)
    And I...when I saw his name I was absolutely transfixed;
    it was as though he was now a human being
    instead of some sort of nightmarish memory of how I had to leave him, all those years ago
    And I felt relieved, and ever since then I've felt happier about it
    because always before, whenever I thought of him
    I said to myself, 'Was there something else that I could have done?'

    (Background:
    "I'd rather die, I'd rather die...")

    And that always sort of worried me
    And having seen him, and his name in the register
    - as you know in the memorials there's a little safe, there's a register in there with every name -
    and seeing his name and his name on the memorial; it sort of lightened my...heart, if you like"

    (Woman)
    "When was it that you saw his name on the memorial?"
    "Ah, when I was eighty-seven, that would be a year, ninete...eighty-four, nineteen eighty-four"

    Dance, dance on little girl
    In the arms of someone new
    As you dance as you twirl
    My heart dances with you

    Dance, dance on little girl
    Tell me what I've done wrong
    Why should he hold you tight
    While they're playing our song

    I am watching you
    Oh no, no it cannot be
    While I'm watching you
    I'm wishing, hoping it's for me

    Dance, dance on little girl
    Tell me why did we part
    Dance, dance on little girl
    Dance out of my heart

    I am watching you
    Oh no, no it cannot be
    While I'm watching you
    I'm wishing, hoping it's for me

    Dance, dance on little girl
    Tell me why did we part
    Dance, dance on little girl
    Dance out of my heart
    Oh look at you
    There you go, go, go
    Oh yes you know
    That you're wrong, wrong, wrong.....

    Amused As Always
    Composer(s): Billy Mackenzie - Alan Rankine
    Performer(s): The Associates



    Praise be to chance
    For meeting us here
    We cannot dance
    We dance by ear

    Feet tap in time
    Out in the streets
    We walk in straight lines
    Like some naval fleet

    And still we're trying to find some interesting things to say
    Let's talk of a manor or the affluent way
    For what its worth amused as always
    Amused as always

    Don't be so sure
    Of days in advance
    They might never come
    Praise be to chance

    Praise be to chance
    For setting no rules
    The chance it might take
    May never be cruel

    And still we're trying to find some interesting things to say
    Let's talk of a manor or the affluent way
    For what its worth amused as always
    Amused as always
    Amused
    Amused as always

    Praise be to chance
    For meeting us here
    We cannot dance...

    Dance On
    French Title: Je Me Sens Bien (Auprès De Toi)
    Performer(s): Kathy Kirby



    Don’t talk of love right now, dance on
    Although the lights are low, forget it
    Wait until we're alone, wait until we go home
    Come on please, I don’t tease
    Just dance on

    Don't try and kiss me now, dance on
    You might be feeling quite romantic
    But I'll dance cheek to cheek
    Or we’ll miss every beat
    Just dance on

    Give me the sweet talk when we're leaving
    From midnight on it's worth believing

    You know the night has just begun
    And while the music keeps on playing
    Hold me close, hold me near
    And I promise you’ll hear
    How the beat of my heart will dance on

    Give me the sweet talk when we're leaving
    From midnight on it's worth believing

    You know the night has just begun
    And while the music keeps on playing
    Hold me close, hold me near
    And I promise you’ll hear
    How the beat of my heart will dance on

    Amurkiriki
    Performer(s): Les Paul & Mary Ford



    Amurkiriki, amukiriki, amukiriki
    The Lord willing I'll be with you
    A distant journey, a safe tomorrow
    Amukiriki
    Then you'll hold me as I always want you to

    In Mexico, amukiriki is as old as Mexico
    and it means the Lord be willing
    If the Lord shall will it so
    Only then will there be harvest
    Only then will rivers flow
    No ore adios to you
    I'll be close to you
    If the Lord shall will it so

    So I say "amukiriki" with you
    Deep inside my heart
    Knowing that the Lord be willing
    We won't always be apart
    After many purple twilight's
    We still see a morning glow
    and I will run to you
    Bring the sun to you
    If the Lord shall will it so

    Performer(s): Curved Air



    Take me from this crowded room
    Give me room to hold you close
    Hold so close to come unfold
    Take my body with your soul
    Loose yourself inside my arms
    Two as one can steal the stars
    Torn and free, beyond control
    Take my body with your soul

    Do the dance
    the dance of love
    Dance of love
    Do the dance
    the dance of love
    Dance with me

    Touching deep, we feel the world
    Reaching deep inside ourselves
    Cutting loose from roots of home
    Scattered winds, the winds of change
    Weightlessly, we drift in sleep
    Drifting circles of our dream
    Dreams of love, beyond control
    Take my body with your soul

    Do the dance
    the dance of love
    Dance of love
    Do the dance
    the dance of love
    Dance with me

    Do the dance
    the dance of love
    Dance of love
    Do the dance
    the dance of love
    Dance with me
    Do the dance
    the dance of love
    Dance of love
    Do the dance
    the dance of love
    Dance with me

    When the music starts to play
    It makes the troubles go away
    It makes my heartache disappear
    And I forget he isn't here
    I forget about the past
    About the dreams that didn't last
    Suddenly my heart is gay
    My head is spinning like a top
    When the music starts to play
    Oh never, never let it stop

    He said
    he'd call
    But he forgot
    Though I
    Loved him
    He loves me not
    So what
    I will do as they say
    Dance my troubles away

    I loved
    A boy
    But he is gone
    The joys
    That I
    Counted upon
    He's gone
    So I do as they say
    Dance my troubles away

    When the music starts to play
    It makes the troubles go away
    Trouble, trouble go away
    And never come another day
    It makes the heartaches disappear
    And I forget he isn't here
    The magic in the atmosphere
    Makes me forget he isn't here
    I forget about the past
    About the dreams that didn't last
    About the words of love he spoke
    About the promises he broke
    About the other girl he found
    And as I'm dancing round and round
    Suddenly my heart is gay
    My head is spinning like a top
    When the music starts to play
    Oh never, never let it stop

    In the port of Amsterdam
    There's a sailor who sings
    Of the dreams that he brings
    From the wide open sea

    In the port of Amsterdam
    There's a sailor who sleeps
    While the riverbank weeps
    To the old willow tree

    In the port of Amsterdam
    There's a sailor who dies
    Full of beer, full of cries
    In the drunken town fight

    In the port of Amsterdam
    There's a sailor who's born
    On a hot muggy morn
    By the dawn's early light

    In the port of Amsterdam
    Where the sailors all meet
    There's a sailor who eats
    Only fish head and tails
    And he'll show you his teeth
    That have rotted too soon
    That can haul up the sails
    That can swallow the moon
    And he yells to the cook
    With his arms open wide
    Hey! bring me more fish
    Throw it down by my side
    And he once sought to belch
    But he's too full to try
    So he stands up and laughs
    And he zips up his fly

    In the port of Amsterdam
    You can see the sailors dance
    And they're bursting their pants
    Grinding women to porch
    They've forgotten the tune
    That their whiskey voice croaked
    Splitting the night with the
    Roar of their jokes
    And they turn and they dance
    And they laugh and they lust
    Til the rancid sound of the
    Accordion bursts and then
    Out of the night
    With their pride in their pants
    And the sluts that they tow
    Underneath the street lamps

    In the port of Amsterdam
    There's a sailor who drinks
    And he drinks
    And he drinks
    And he drinks once again
    He'll drink to the health
    Of the whores of Amsterdam
    Who've given their bodies
    To a thousand other men
    Yeah they bargain their virtue
    Their goodness all gone
    For a few dirty coins
    When they just can't go on
    Blows his nose to the sky
    On the sea up above
    And he pisses like I cry
    In the port of Amsterdam
    In the port of Amsterdam

    Dance Me To The End Of Love
    Composer(s): Leonard Cohen
    Performer(s): Leonard Cohen
    and various other artists



    Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin
    Dance me through the panic 'til I'm gathered safely in
    Lift me like an olive branch and be my homeward dove
    Dance me to the end of love
    Dance me to the end of love
    Oh let me see your beauty when the witnesses are gone
    Let me feel you moving like they do in Babylon
    Show me slowly what I only know the limits of
    Dance me to the end of love
    Dance me to the end of love

    Dance me to the wedding now, dance me on and on
    Dance me very tenderly and dance me very long
    We're both of us beneath our love, we're both of us above
    Dance me to the end of love
    Dance me to the end of love

    Dance me to the children who are asking to be born
    Dance me through the curtains that our kisses have outworn
    Raise a tent of shelter now, though every thread is torn
    Dance me to the end of love

    Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin
    Dance me through the panic till I'm gathered safely in
    Touch me with your naked hand or touch me with your glove
    Dance me to the end of love
    Dance me to the end of love
    Dance me to the end of love

    In dat oud-Amsterdam
    in de buurt van de haven
    gaan de zeelui zich laven
    drinken 't hek van de dam
    In dat oud-Amsterdam
    liggen zeelieden dronken
    als een wimpel zo lam
    in de dokken te ronken
    In dat oud-Amsterdam
    krijgt een zeeman de stuipen
    tot hij zich grauw van gram
    in het bier wil verzuipen
    Maar in oud-Amsterdam
    zie je zeelui ontkatert
    als de ochtendzon schatert
    over Damrak en Dam
    In dat oud-Amsterdam
    zie je zeelieden wikken
    zilveren haringen slikken
    bij de staart uit de hand
    Van de hand in de tand
    smijten zij met hun knaken
    want ze zullen hem raken
    als een kat in het want
    En ze stinken naar aal
    in hun grofblauwe truien
    en ze stinken naar uien
    daarmee doen ze hun maal
    Na dat maal staan ze op
    om hun broek op te hijsen
    en dan gaan ze weer hijsen
    tot het boert in hun krop
    In dat oud-Amsterdam
    zie je zeelieden zwieren
    en de meiden versieren
    lijf aan lijf, warm en klam
    en draaien hun wals
    als een wentelende zon
    op de klank, dun en vals
    van een akkordeon
    En zo rood als een kreeft
    happen zij naar wat lucht
    tot opeens, met een zucht
    de muziek het begeeft
    Met een air van gewicht
    voeren zij, met wat spijt
    dan hun Mokkumse meid
    weer terug in het licht
    In dat oud-Amsterdam
    gaan de zeelui aan 't drinken
    Aan 't drinken en drinken
    en daar nog eens op drinken
    tot het oude kerksplein
    op hun thuishaven lijkt
    en de hoer in 't kozijn
    net als moedertje kijkt
    En haar borst is de borst
    van verloofde of vrouw
    en daarna weer zo'n dorst
    en de nacht wordt al grauw
    Want op de terugvaart is beschuit
    en de kater breekt aan
    en ze slikken het uit
    tegen meerpaal en kraan
    In dat oud-Amsterdam
    In dat oud-Amsterdam
    In dat oud-Amsterdam
    In dat oud-Amsterdam

    De Doodgewoonste Dingen
    Performer(s): Passe Partout



    De doodgewoonste dingen die brengen mij tot zingen
    Ik zing van al 't mooie dat ik zie
    Het dagelijkse leven is m'n allermooist gegeven
    In harmonie op melodie
    Soms zie ik 't vervagen, dat zijn de trieste dagen
    Die brengen mij dan even van m'n stuk
    Maar meestal zijn de dingen als de vogels die mooi zingen
    Van eindeloos geluk

    De hebzucht van de mensen moesten we meer verwensen
    Je ziet met angst en beven het oppervlakkig leven
    Van nooit tevreden mensen om je heen
    Het ego is me alsmaar nummer 1
    Maar rijkdom doet bedriegen, de mooiste droom vervliegen
    geluk is simpel, dat geldt algemeen

    De doodgewoonste dingen die brengen mij tot zingen
    Ik zing van al 't mooie dat ik zie
    Het dagelijkse leven is m'n allermooist gegeven
    In harmonie op melodie
    Soms zie ik 't vervagen, dat zijn de trieste dagen
    Die brengen mij dan even van m'n stuk
    Maar meestal zijn de dingen als de vogels die mooi zingen
    Van eindeloos geluk

    De wijsheid die we wensen, leeft onder alle mensen
    In alle regionen vaak onder doodgewonen
    De wijsheid die geluk voor ogen heeft
    En iedereen voldoende kansen geeft
    Om in dit korte leven elkaar geluk te geven
    Gelukkig doen waarvoor de mensheid leeft

    De doodgewoonste dingen die brengen mij tot zingen
    Ik zing van al 't mooie dat ik zie
    Het dagelijkse leven is m'n allermooist gegeven
    In harmonie op melodie
    Soms zie ik 't vervagen, dat zijn de trieste dagen
    Die brengen mij dan even van m'n stuk
    Maar meestal zijn de dingen als de vogels die mooi zingen
    Van eindeloos geluk

    Maar meestal zijn de dingen als de vogels die mooi zingen
    Van eindeloos geluk

    Amsterdam
    Composer(s): John Cale
    First release by: John Cale - 1970



    She's back from Amsterdam
    And I think the journey did her well
    Her face has lost it's touch
    The tell tale signs of loneliness inside

    But I love her still
    And need her company still more
    Come down, come down once more
    And I think, the journey, did her well

    She says she fell in love
    With men who knew the way to treat a lady
    Her life has settled for the best of things
    That I couldn't give her

    And it's not her fault, she's not the one to blame
    Come down, come down, come down once more
    And I do believe the journey did her well
    Yes I do believe the journey did her well

    Dance Little Lady Dance
    Composer(s): Biddu Appaiah; Ron Roker; Gerry Shury
    Performer(s): Tina Charles; Polly Browne



    Yeah, yeah …..
    Someone taught me how to dance last night
    What a move he was
    And someone taught me how to do it right
    What a groover he was
    He taught me all the steps he knew to rock ‘n roll
    I found my sense of rhythm but I lost my self-control
    When he said dance little lady, dance
    Dance, little lady, dance
    You know you’ve got only one chance
    So come on, dance, dance, oh!

    Someone taught me how to move last night
    What a looker he was
    Someone taught me how to do it right
    What a cooker he was
    Now we boogie and we bump until we’re fit to trop
    And when he gets me going, I don’t want to stop
    When he says, dance, little lady, dance
    Dance, little lady, dance
    You know you’ve only got one chance
    So come on, dance, dance, dance, oh!

    Yeah, yeah!
    We boogie and we bump until we’re fit to trop
    And when he gets me going, I don’t want to stop
    When he says, dance, little lady, dance
    Dance, little lady, dance
    You know you’ve only got one chance
    So come on, dance, dance, dance!
    That’s what he told me
    Oh, what a mover!
    That’s what he told me
    Oh, what a groover!
    Dance, little lady
