    Away From You
    Composer(s): Sheldon Harnick - Richard Rodgers - Steve Walsh
    Performer(s): Sarah Brightman



    Away from you
    There is no music
    There is no sunlight
    The world is gray
    Away from you
    The clocks are frozen
    And time's a traveller
    Who's lost his way

    The people I meet
    Might as well be statues
    The words we exchange
    Might as well be Greek
    The room that I'm in
    May be bright and cheerful
    But to me
    It's dim and bleak

    I'm half alive
    Until the moment
    The door swings open
    And you walk through
    Now my world starts to glow
    Like a stained-glass window
    And what was old and cold
    Is warm and new
    And so you see
    Why I can never be
    Away from you

    Away from you
    The world is lifeless
    As though creation
    Has gone awry
    The trees are bare
    There are no flowers
    The fields are thirsty
    The streams are dry

    We live, you and I
    For a breath of sunlight
    So brief an escape
    From a world of gray
    Our moments of warmth
    Have been touch and go, love
    But tonight, we'll touch
    And stay

    The people I meet
    Might as well be statues
    The words we exchange
    Might as well be Greek
    The room that I'm in
    May be bright and cheerful
    But to me
    It's dim and bleak

    I'm half alive
    Until the moment
    The door swings open
    And you walk through
    Now my soul is afloat
    On a wave of music
    That I could feel such joy
    I never knew
    And so you see
    Why I can never be
    Away from you

    Don't Look Back
    Composer(s): Tom Scholz
    Performer(s): Boston



    Don't look back
    A new day is breaking
    It's been too long since I felt this way
    I don't mind where I get taken
    The road is calling
    Today is the day
    I can see
    It took so long to realise
    I'm much too strong
    Not to compromise
    Now I see what I am is holding me down
    I'll turn it around
    I finally see the dawn arriving
    I see beyond the road I'm driving
    Far away and left behind
    It's a new horizon and I'm awaking now
    Oh I see myself in a brand new way
    The sun is shining
    the clouds are breaking
    'Cause I can't lose now, there's no game to play
    I can tell
    There's no more time left to criticise
    I've seen what I could not recognise
    Everything in my life was leading me on
    but I can be strong
    I finally see the dawn arriving
    I see beyond the road I'm driving
    Far away and left behind

    Away From You
    Composer(s): Rodney Sturgis
    Performer(s): Louis Jordan



    It made me cry
    To say good-bye
    I'm sad and blue
    Now that you've gone
    I can't go on
    Away from you

    I smile to hide
    The tears inside
    It's hard to do
    My happiness
    My life's success
    Depends on you

    The hours seem long
    The world goes wrong
    When we're apart
    My skies are gray
    What can I say
    To soothe my heart?

    It is the end
    I can't pretend
    That I'm not blue
    Oh, can't you see
    Life's misery
    Away from you!

    The hours are long
    The world goes wrong
    When we're apart
    My skies are gray
    What can I say
    To soothe my heart?

    It is the end
    I can't pretend
    That I'm not blue
    Oh, can't you see
    Life's misery
    Away from you!
    Away from you!

    Don't Look Away
    Composer(s): Pete Townshend
    Performer(s): The Who



    Don't go and hide
    Yesterday you were my girlfiend
    If you do
    My inside goes around and around in a whirlwind

    There's a stone in my shoe
    So I can't catch you up
    My head's in a lion's mouth
    Wants to eat me up
    Right here today
    Don't look away
    I've always been true
    And I still love you
    So don't look away
    There's a lot you can do
    To get me away
    You've got to stay
    Don't look away
    Don't look away

    I once heard you say
    If I ever was down you would help me
    Now my head's being chewed up
    You pretend that you don't see

    There's a stone in my shoe
    So I can't catch you up
    My head's in a lion's mouth
    Wants to eat me up
    Right here today
    Don't look away
    I've always been true
    And I still love you
    So don't look away
    There's a lot you can do
    To get me away
    You've got to stay
    Don't look away
    Don't look away

    I've always been true
    And I still love you
    So don't look away
    There's a lot you can do
    To get me away
    You've got to stay
    Don't look away
    Don't look away
    Don't look away
    Don't look away
    Don't look away

    Polly In A Porny
    Composer(s): Shel Silverstein
    Performer(s): Shel Silverstein



    Haha I kissed Polly goodnight
    Haha as we stood at her front door
    Now she's quite a proper lady
    So I didn't ask for anything more
    But haha I was feeling oh so groovie
    That I went down to the movie
    And I sat down and guess just what I saw

    I saw Polly in a porny
    Down at the dirty flicks
    I saw Polly in a porny
    I didn't know she knew them tricks
    What I seen nearly struck me blind
    I never knew she was the artically inclined
    I saw Polly in a porny with a pony
    And I've nearly blowed my mind
    Was she gallopin' (no no no)
    Oh was she trottin' (no no no)
    Oh was she riding across the country
    with some tall dark handsome person
    Oh was she wearin' her cowboy hat
    Haha well not exactly that
    But at least I recall she had her spurs on
    I love ol' Polly in a porny
    I keep on going back
    Yeah in the very last row I'm singin' low
    With my coat bouncin' in my lap
    Ooh I spend each dime I can afford
    I swear she's gonna win an academy award
    I saw Polly in a porny with a pony
    And the pony seemed a little bored
    Ooh oh ride
    Polly ride slide
    Polly slide

    Don't Look At Me That Way Composer(s): Cole Porter Performer(s): Irene Bordoni and multiple other artists



    Oh, Im so mad about a lad
    It's too deep to express
    And when he tries to use his eyes
    They have instant success
    So full of passion, these pupils are
    That girls forget what their scruples are
    So when he turns them on me
    I murmur tenderly.....

    I think you're great, I think you're grand
    And I don't mind if you hold my hand
    But don't look at me that way

    Your kisses, too, are heavenly
    And oh, so full of variety
    But don't look at me that way

    When you tell me sweetly you're mine completely
    I always give a long cheer
    But those sudden flashes behind your lashes
    Are nobody's business, dear

    Since you began to play your role
    I've lost my heart and I've lost my soul
    But as for losing my self-control
    Don't look at me that way

    I just adore your loving arms
    In fact, they're two of your greatest charms
    But don't look at me that way

    I'm very mild, I'm very meek
    My will is strong, but my won't is weak
    So don't look at me that way

    When that strange expression of indiscretion
    Begins to show in your stare
    There's a hocus-pocus about your focus
    That gives me a terrible scare

    I feel a thrill when you arrive
    And while you're near I simply thrive
    But if you want to get home alive
    Don't look at me that way

    It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World
    Composer(s): Ernest Gold - Mack David



    It's a mad, mad, mad, mad world
    In France the girls wear scanties
    While on lamb chops they put panties
    I'm telling you it's a mad, mad, mad, mad world

    A Japanese named Luey
    Says the Chinese hate chop suey
    Without a doubt
    It's a mad, mad, mad, mad world

    The only thing you are sure of
    Is that nothing is sure
    Have a ball, live it up, only fools give it up
    Toujours the amour, but toujours

    So be a happy gaffer
    Be a screamer, be a laugher
    Let boys be gay and say, "What the hey"
    It's a mad, mad, mad, mad world

    My dear old Uncle Herman
    Says that French Toast should be German
    Jawohl, that's right
    It's a mad, mad, mad, mad world

    I know it may sound jerky
    But in Turkey who eats turkey
    Yes, yes, confess
    It's a mad, mad, mad, mad world

    Out traffic is so congested
    Mass confusion on wheels
    But Detroit is adroit, what they'll do in Detroit
    Is make bigger automobiles

    So be a happy fellow
    Be a clown, boy, Punchinello
    Get off the shelf and enjoy yourself
    It's a mad, mad, mad, mad
    It's a mad, it's a mad, it's a mad, it's a mad world!

    Don't Like Goodbyes Composer(s): Harold Arlen - Truman Capote Performer(s): Pearl Bailey and multiple other artists



    Don't like goodbyes, tears or sighs
    I'm not too good at leavin' time
    I got no taste for grievin' time
    No, no, not me

    You've been my near one's, always my dear one's
    I never thought that I would find
    Another love, a diff'rent kind
    But it came to be

    Well, if you think I'm telling you lies
    Go try your luck and look into his eyes
    But remember, you must remember he's mine
    And my world overhead has a clear new shine

    Have I found the answer
    Yes, he's the only answer
    Guess I won't have to guide him, jus' walk beside him
    Can't you see it clearly that I love him dearly

    Don't want to leave you, sorry to grieve you
    It's trav'lin' time and I must move on
    Found the man to lean upon, and if I could arrange it
    Oh, would I care to change it
    Not me!

    Mary's Vineyard
    Composer(s): Wayne Carson Thompson - Bob Wilkins
    Performer(s): Claude King



    The grapes in Mary's vineyard are the sweetest on the vine
    Old man Oscar Dill lived back in the Tennessee hills
    He's got him two or three stills and he makes heavy water
    Oh I worked for him one time runnin' sour mash across the line
    And he warned me to pay no mind to his three daughters
    Yeah one was eighteen and one was twenty two one was just my age
    One by one I opened the door to the gilded cage (yes I did now)
    He don't know and I ain't gonna tell him what I've done one time
    Cause he thinks he raised three little angels ah I think that's fine
    I made love to his sweet Martha and pretty little Caroline
    But the grapes in Mary's vineyard are the sweetest on the vine

    Now old man Oscar Dill said he wouldn't hesitate to kill
    Anybody messin' round his stills or his three daughters
    But even so late at night when the moon wasn't shining too bright
    I'd sneaked around get brave all right sippin' his heavy water
    Yeah one was eighteen...
    I made love to his sweet Martha...

    Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me Composer(s): Elton John - Bernie Taupin First release by: Elton John - 1974 Covered by multiple other artists



    I can't light no more of your darkness
    All my pictures seem to fade to black and white
    I'm growing tired and time stands still before me
    Frozen here on the ladder of my life

    Too late to save myself from falling
    I took a chance and changed your way of life
    But you misread my meaning when I met you
    Closed the door and left me blinded by the light

    Don't let the sun go down on me
    Although I search myself, it's always someone else I see
    I'd just allow a fragment of your life to wander free
    But losing everything is like the sun going down on me

    I can't find, oh the right romantic line
    But see me once and see the way I feel
    Don't discard me just because you think I mean you harm
    But these cuts I have they need love to help them heal

    Composer(s): Earl Randle
    First release by: Ann Peebles - 1973 Covered by multiple other artists



    You think you've got it all set up
    you think you've got the perfect plan
    to charm everyone you see
    and playing any game you can

    But I've got news for you
    I hope it don't hit you too hard
    One of these days while you're at play
    I'm gonna catch you off guard

    I'm gonna tear your playhouse down pretty soon
    I'm gonna tear your playhouse down room by room

    You think love is just fun and games
    Trying to be a playboy.
    All you do is run around Using hearts as play toys

    You've been playing daddy with every mama in town
    What you gonna do when you look up one day
    and see your playhouse tumbling down

    I'm gonna tear your playhouse down pretty soon
    I'm gonna tear your playhouse down room by room

    I'm gonna tear your playhouse down pretty soon
    I'm gonna tear your playhouse down room by room
    Yeaah Yeaah

    ... Pretty soon
    I'm gonna tear your playhouse down room by room

    Away From You
    Composer(s): Gerry Marsden - John Chadwick
    First release by: Gerry & The Pacemakers - 1963



    When I'm away from you
    No wonder I feel blue
    Without your love (without your love)
    Without your charms
    Want you in my arms

    I dream about you every night
    Hopin', waitin' for you to write
    Until at last (until at last)
    I find, can't get you off my mind
    (off my mind, can't get you off my mind)

    If you only knew
    How my poor heart yearns for you
    Then darling you'll be
    Ever true and faithful to me

    So when I'm by your side
    Please remember how I cried
    For your love (for your love)
    For your charms
    Want you in my arms (in my arms, want you in my arms)

    If you only knew
    How my poor heart yearns for you
    Then darling you'll be
    Ever true and faithful to me

    So when I'm by your side
    Please remember how I cried

    Don't let the sun catch you crying
    The night's the time for all your tears
    Your heart may be broken tonight
    But tomorrow in the morning light

    But stop your crying when the birds sing
    Oh no no no

    Oh yeah
    Oooo oooo

    Just don't forget that love's just a game
    And it can always come again
    So don't let the sun catch you crying

    Away From The Numbers
    Composer(s): Paul Weller
    First release by: The Jam - 1977



    Things are getting just too cozy for me
    I now see people as they see me
    Gonna break away and gain control
    You free your mind
    You free your soul
    I was the type who knocked at old men (history's easy)
    Who together at tables sit and drink beer (somewhere is really)
    Then I saw that I was really the same
    So this link's breaking away from the chain

    Away from the numbers
    Away from the numbers
    Is where I'm gonna be
    Away from the numbers
    Away from the numbers
    Is where I am free

    Away from the numbers
    Away from the numbers
    Is where i'm gonna be

    I was sick and tired of my little niche
    I'm gonna break away and find where life is

    And all those fools I thought were my friends
    (coaching is easy)
    They now stare at me and don't see a thing
    (reality's so hard)
    Till their life is over and they start to moan
    How they never had the chance to make good

    Away from the numbers
    Away from the numbers
    Is where I'm gonna be
    Away from the numbers
    Away from the numbers
    Is where I am free
    Is where I am free
    Is where I'm gonna be
    It's reality

    Reality's so hard, reality's so hard, reality's so hard
    Reality's so hard, reality's so hard, reality's so hard

    Don't Let The Stars Get In Your Eyes Composer(s): Slim Willet First release by: Slim Willett and the Brush Cutters - 1952 and multiple other artists



    Don't let the stars get in your eyes
    Don't let the moon break your heart
    Love blooms at night
    In the daylight it dies

    Don't let the stars get in your eyes
    Oh, keep your heart for me
    For someday I'll return
    And you know you're the only one I'll ever love

    Too many nights, too many stars
    Too many moons to change your mind
    If I'm gone too long don't forget where you belong
    When the stars come out remember you are mine

    Don't let the stars get in your eyes
    Don't let the moon break your heart
    Love blooms at night
    In the daylight it dies

    Don't let the stars get in your eyes
    Oh, keep your heart for me
    For someday I'll return
    And you know you're the only one I'll ever love

    Too many miles, too many days
    Too many nights to be alone
    Ah please keep your heart while we are apart
    Don't you linger in the moonlight when I'm gone

    Don't let the stars get in your eyes
    Don't let the moon break your heart
    Love blooms at night
    In the daylight it dies

    Don't let the stars get in your eyes
    Oh, keep your heart for me
    For someday I'll return
    And you know you're the only one I'll ever love
    You're the only one I'll ever love

    Away From It All
    Performer(s): Graham Gouldman



    He was born in a very bad part of town
    Where the sun never shone
    And the people went round with their heads hung low
    There was no work to do nowhere to go
    And so he was born to lose

    Well he got up one morning and he switched on his TV
    There was a whole lot of people
    One big happy family
    And he knew that's the place he had to be
    So he got himself up
    He brushed himself down
    He read some books and he oiled his brain
    He started to work and he started to train
    And he knew he'd never be the same again
    No more were you born to lose

    Hey boy what you gonna do
    When there ain't no future here for you
    You gotta pick yourself up and pull yourself out
    'Cause you know you were born to lose

    Now he takes his place as one of the family
    All together different colours and lookin' so fine
    In the same place and at the same time
    'Cause he pulled himself up
    And got himself out
    He read some books and he oiled his brain
    He started to work and he started to train
    And he knew he'd never be the same again
    No more you were born to lose

    Hey boy what you gonna do
    When there ain't no future here for you
    You gotta pick yourself up and pull yourself out
    'Cause you know you were born to lose

    Hey boy ...

    Don't Let The Rain Come Down (Crooked Little Man)
    Composer(s): Ersel Hickey - Ed Miller
    Performer(s): Serendipity Singers; The Brothers Four



    (Ah, ah) Oh, no, don't let the rain come down
    (Ah, ah) Oh, no, don't let the rain come down
    (Ah, ah) Oh, no, don't let the rain come down
    My roof's got a hole in it and I might drown
    Oh, yes, my roof's got a hole in it and I might drown

    There was a crooked man and he had a crooked smile
    Had a crooked sixpence and he walked a crooked mile
    Had a crooked cat and he had a crooked mouse
    They all lived together in a crooked little house

    (Ah, ah) Oh, no, don't let the rain come down
    (Ah, ah) Oh, no, don't let the rain come down
    (Ah, ah) Oh, no, don't let the rain come down
    My roof's got a hole in it and I might drown
    Oh, yes, my roof's got a hole in it and I might drown

    Well, this crooked little man and his crooked little smile
    Took his crooked sixpence and he walked a crooked mile
    Bought some crooked nails and a crooked little bat
    Tried to fix his roof with a rat-tat-tat-tat-tat

    (Ah, ah) Oh, no, don't let the rain come down
    (Ah, ah) Oh, no, don't let the rain come down
    (Ah, ah) Oh, no, don't let the rain come down
    My roof's got a hole in it and I might drown
    Oh, yes, my roof's got a hole in it and I might drown

    Now this crooked little man and his crooked cat and mouse
    They all live together in a crooked little house
    Has a crooked door with a crooked little latch
    Has a crooked roof with a crooked little patch

    (Ah, ah) Oh, no, don't let the rain come down
    (Ah, ah) Oh, no, don't let the rain come down
    (Ah, ah) Oh, no, don't let the rain come down
    My roof's got a hole in it and I might drown
    Oh, yes, my roof's got a hole in it and I might drown

    (Ah, ah) Oh, no, don't let the rain come down
    (Ah, ah) Oh, no, don't let the rain come down
    (Ah, ah) Oh, no, don't let the rain come down
    My roof's got a hole in it and I might drown
    Oh, yes, my roof's got a hole in it and I might drown

    (Ah, ah) Oh, no, don't let the rain come down
    (Ah, ah) Oh, no, don't let the rain come down
    (Ah, ah) Oh, no, don't let the rain come down
    My roof's got a hole in it (my roof's got a hole in it)
    My roof's got a hole in it and I might drown

    Away From Home
    Performer(s): Stewart Copeland



    I finally got away from home
    I got apartment of my own
    Eccentric posing is allowed
    And I can play the music loud
    I'm gonna abuse my brand new pad
    My lousy manners are O.K.
    I finally got away from home
    I got apartment of my own
    I entertain my rancid date
    And she can hang around till late
    Oh boy!
    Away from home
    O-Oh
    I got a place of my own
    O-Oh
    Away from home
    O-Oh
    I got a place of my own
    O-Oh
    And I don't have to hide the fumes
    So I don't have to clean my room
    And I don't have to hide my toys
    Won't hide my dealings
    Oh Boy
    I finally got away from home
    I got apartment of my own
    Not sure exactly 'bout the rent
    My weekly pay won't even dent
    Won't hide my dealings
    Oh boy Oh Boy!

    Don't Let The Joneses Get You Down Composer(s): Barrett Strong - Norman Whitfield Performer(s): The Temptations



    Dennis:
    Ow, people gather round me, it's whom it may concern
    I'm not trying to run your life

    Melvin:
    But you're never too old to learn, huh

    Dennis:
    Stop worrying about your neighbors and the fancy things they got
    'Cause if you do you'll find it sure, you're gonna wind up on the spot

    Don't let the Jones
    Melvin:

    You're lying to yourself but you don't even know it
    You're so busy following the Joneses, you ain't got time to show it
    Keeping up with the Joneses, it'll only makes your life a mess
    Bill collectors, tranquilizers and getting deeper in debt

    Eddie:
    You better leave...
