International Heroes Composer(s): Kim Fowley; Kerry Scott First release by: Kim Fowley - 1973
Bobby and Sue still go to school Falling asleep and it aint too cool Time and day stuck in the rain At every concert the bus leaves early Were just wasting time Wondering what well find when its all over
I think Ill cut my hair off And start a new game Why bother being different Were all the same Hey friend, its gotta end I dont care what you wear Its what you are that makes you a star
International heroes You got the teenage blues Change has gotta come soon Or else were gonna lose
Noise I hear year after year Aint done nothing more than become unclear Hey everybody what have we got Old clothes and records starting to rot Dont throw them away Open yourselves to the sounds of the future
International heroes You got the teenage blues Change has gotta come soon Or else were gonna lose (lose lose)
International heroes You got the teenage blues Change has gotta come soon Or else were gonna lose
International heroes You got the teenage blues Change has gotta come soon Or else were gonna lose
New Blowtop Blues Composer(s): Jane Feather; Leonard Feather Performer(s): Dinah Washington; Deborah Cox; Lavay Smith & Her Red Hot Skillet Lickers
I've got bad news baby, and you're the first to know Yes I've got bad news baby, and you're the first to know Well I discovered this morning that my wig is about to blow
Well I've been rocking on my feet and I've been talking all out of my head Yes I've been rocking on my feet and I've been talking all out of my head And when I get through talking, I can't remember a thing I've said
Now I used to be a sharpie All dressed in the latest styles But now I'm walking down Broadway Wearing nothing but a smile I see all kinds of little men Although they're never there I tried to push a subway train And poured whiskey in my hair I'm a gal who blew a fuse, I've got those blowtop blues
Last night I was five feet tall Today I'm eight feet ten Every time I fall downstairs, I float right up again When someone turned the lights on me it like to drove me blind I woke up this morning in Bellevue but I've left my mind behind I'm a gal you can't excuse, 'cause I've got those blowtop blues
Well I got high last night, and I took my man to his wife's front door Yes I got juiced last night and I took my man to his wife's front door Oh but she was a 45-packin' mama, and I ain't goin' to try that no more!
Interlude (Time) Composer(s): Georges Delerue; Hal Shaper First performance by: Timi Yuro - 1968
Time is like a dream And now for a time you are mine Let's hold fast to the dream That tastes and sparkles like wine
Who knows if it's real Or just something we're both dreaming of What seems like an interlude now Could be the beginning of love Loving you is a world that's strange So much more than my heart can hold Loving you makes the whole world change Loving you I could not grow old No, nobody knows when love will end So till then, sweet friend
Time is like a dream And now for a time you are mine Let's hold fast to the dream That tastes and sparkles like wine
New And Different Way Composer(s): Jim Messina Performer(s): Jim Messina
I think that I can finally see A change in my reality In a new and different way The way that I can tell that I'm right Is everything looks fresh and bright In a new and different way Well I feel that from this special place You see another kind of face On those that didn't show Then suddenly you find You're not coming from your mind anymore
That's when you let your heart come through The feeling that you find is you In a new and different way The place that you will learn to know Is a place that in your life you'll show In a new and different way Well I found that music is my play And I'm living my life from day to day With those I really love And in return for what I give The love I get will surely live forever Ever and ever
Then suddenly you find You're not coming from your mind anymore That's when you let your heart Come through The feeling that you find is you In a new and different way The place that you will learn to know Is a place that in your life you'll show In a new and different way Well I found that music is my play And I'm living my life from day to day With those I really love And in return for what I give The love I get will surely live forever Ever and ever
When Reginald was home with flu, uh huh The doctor knew just what to do He cured the infection With one small injection While Reginald uttered some interjections Hey! That smarts! Ouch! That hurts! Yow! That's not fair Giving a guy a shot down there! Interjections! Show excitement or emotion They're generally set apart from a sentence By an exclamation point or by a comma when the feeling's not as strong Though Geraldine played hard to get, uh huh Geraldo knew he'd woo her yet He showed his affection Despite her objections And Geraldine hollered some interjections Well! You've got some nerve! Oh! I've never been so insulted in all my life! Hey! You're kinda cute!
(Chorus)
So when you're happy Or sad Or frightened Or mad Or excited Or glad An interjection starts a sentence right!
The game was tied at seven all, uh huh When Franklin found he had the ball He made a connection In the other direction And the crowd starting shouting out interjections Aw! You threw the wrong way! Darn! You just lost the game! Hurray! I'm for the other team!
(Chorus)
So when you're happy Or sad or frightened or mad or excited or glad An interjection starts a sentence right!
(Chorus)
Interjections! Show excitement or emotion! Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah yeah!

Another Version:
Waiting for the phone to ring Diamond necklace on my shoulder Waiting for the phone to ring Lipstick on my naked shoulder It seems to be my fancy to make it with Franky and sue ann
Over the bridge we go Looking for love Over the bridge we go Looking for love Ill come running to you, hey baby if you want me Ill come running to you, baby if you want me
Looking at my hands today Look to me that theyre made of ivory I had a funny call today Someone died and someone married You know that its my fancy to make it with Franky and sue ann
Over the bridge they go Looking for love Over the bridge we go Looking for love Ill come running to you, hey baby if you want me Ill come running to you, baby if you want me
Somethings got a hold on me And I dont know what
Somethings got a hold on me And I dont know what
Its the beginning of a new age Its the beginning of a new age

Nevertheless (I'm In Love With You) Composer(s): Harry Ruby; Bert Kalmar Performer(s): Frank Sinatra; and various other artists
I knew the time had to come When I'd be held under your thumb I'm like a pawn in your hand Moved and compelled, at your command Whether it's for bad or for good I would never change it if I could
Maybe I'm right, maybe I'm wrong Maybe I'm weak, maybe I'm strong But nevertheless I'm in love with you Maybe I'll win, maybe I'll lose And maybe I'm in for crying the blues But nevertheless I'm in love with you
Somehow, I know at a glance, the terrible chances I'm taking Fine at the start, then left with a heart that is breaking
Maybe I'll live a life of regret, and maybe I'll give much more than I get But nevertheless, I'm in love with you
In spite of all I could do I went ahead falling for you So if I laugh or I cry I made my bed, that's where I'll lie For what happens there's no excuse I put my own head in the noose
Interdit Au Moins De Treize Ans Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday
Quand tu marches dans la rue les garçons se retournent Malgré leur jeune âge ils ont déjà envie de toi Tu sais qu'on devrait t'interdire Comme un film au moins de treize ans
Tes cheveux qui dansent, tes jambes et tes belles dents Tes seins et tes hanchent font rêver tous les garçons Tu sais qu'on devrait t'interdire Comme un film au moins de treize ans
Mais les garçons n'ont pas le droit De voir ce que moi Je vais faire ce soir avec toi Et quand j'étais petit garçon Je rêvais comme eux D'une fille comme toi dans mes bras
Quand tu marches dans la rue les hommes se retournent À n'importe quel âge ils ont toujours envie de toi Tu sais qu'on devrait t'interdire Comme un film au moins de treize ans
Mais les hommes savent très bien Ce que toi et moi Nous ferons ce soir dans nos draps Ils ne sont plus petit garçon Et ils rêvent tous D'une fille comme toi dans leurs bras
Tes deux seins sous ton maillot comme de jolies formes Tes deux longues cuisses empêchent de dormir les hommes Ouais, quand tu marches dans la rue les hommes se retournent Malgré ton jeune âge ils ont déjà envie de toi Ouais, malgré ton jeune âge ils ont déjà envie de toi

I'd like to run away from you but if you never found me I would die I'd like to break the chains you put around me but I know I never will You stay away and all I do is wonder why the hell I wait for you But when did common sense prevail for lovers when we know it never will Impossible to live with you but I know, I could never live without you For whatever you do I never, never, never want to be in love with anyone but you
You never treat me like you should, so what's the good of loving as I do? Although you always laugh at love, nothing else would be good enough for you Impossible to live with you, but I know, I could never live without you For whatever you do I never, never, never want to be in love with anyone but you
You make me laugh, you make me cry, you make me live, you make me die for you You make me sing, you make me sad, you make me glad, you make me mad for you
I love you, hate you, love you, hate you But I'll want you till the world stops turning For whatever you do I never, never, never want to be in love with anyone but you I love you, hate you, love you, hate you
But I'll want you till the world stops turning For whatever you do I never, never, never want to be in love with anyone but you I love you, hate you, love you, hate you
But I'll want you till the world stops turning For whatever you do I never, never, never want to be in love with anyone but you
Instinction Composer(s): Gary Kemp Performer(s): Spandau Ballet; Hadley, Norman & Keeble
Cheap bed, in the red sleep the words out of your head cold floor, nice and raw eat the meat that's on the floor high tide, some disguise loving makes the cream taste nice new shore, final score fresh demand, I'm wanting more this might not last too long so always take it this might not last too long so always take it Reasons, reasons were here from the start it's my instiction, its' my instiction reasons, reasons are part of the art it's my instiction, it's my instiction you cry, justify but deep beneath the feelings lie photo, looking old memory makes the day feel cold they've gone, sing your song walk the flow, ah, too slow post boom,second doom stealing cake to eat the moon this might not last too long so always take it Reasons, reasons were here from the start this might not last too long so always take it Reasons, reasons were here from the start it's my instiction, its' my instiction reasons, reasons are part of the art it's my instiction, it's my instiction stealing cake to eat the moon
If you have known only tears of sorrow And you cry out for a glad tomorrow Then never turn back Never turn back again
Your trust in man May have once been shaken But faith in man Must not be forsaken So never turn back Never turn back again
Look up in the sky Hold your head up high And make a wish on a star or a ball
If you have hope in your heart Time will heal every scar And soon you'll know laughter and love
Though now you walk Empty dreams inside you Have faith, have faith And your heart will guide you And never turn back You'll never turn back Never, no, never turn back
Instinct For Survival Composer(s): Jim Glaser Performer(s): Skeeter Davis
Believe me I ain't sayin' this just to hurt your pride But I can live without you without breaking up inside I just can't stay here with you now the way you're doing me wrong Guess my instinct for survival is a little too strong a little too strong
It's hard for me to understand just what you're searchin' for And why the touch that thrilled you doesn't move you anymore You're like the friends you're runnin' with and I just don't belong Guess my instinct for survival is a little too strong a little too strong
There's something deep inside of me that's begging me to leave And I can't stop this feeling without killing part of me
If I sound cold and uncaring well I don't mean to be You know the love I have for you is such a part of me But before I'll let you ruin my life I'll pack up and be gone Guess my instinct for survival is a little too strong a little too strong
Never Trust A Stranger Composer(s): Toy Caldwell Performer(s): The Marshall Tucker Band
We were ridin' through the flatlands We were searchin' for two prisoners Who just broke jail Tall one and a lean one Rode a chestnut stallion And the word was from the main man He was mean as hell An outlaw is a man who never understands A word called danger He learns to shoot and ride as a child And never trust a stranger And he's always called a better man We chased him to the border All the way to El Paso The ride was long the ride was hard But the sheriff said "we can't let him go" He said "let me tell you somethin'" "I been trackin' for a long time" They never trust a stranger And they take care of their own An outlaw is a man who never understands A word called danger He learns to shoot and ride as a child And never trust a stranger And he's always called a better man Today's man is an outlaw On that long road to freedom You work him hard you take his pride And then you try to cheat him Then one day you figure out it's a long,long story An outlaw is a man that takes care of his own An outlaw is a man who never understands A word called danger He learns to shoot and ride as a child And never trust a stranger And he's always called a better man Never trust a stranger Never trust a stranger Never trust a stranger
Instantáneas de la calle veo una separación, un choque un estallido, una universidad viven haciendo las pases hay un chico que se escapa un toro, una señora, un cielo, un capitán y yo sigo con vos sabés se hace difícil seguir anclado aquí sin tu amor Instantáneas de la calle hay dos tipos en la esquina uno hace una seña, el otro que se va hace frío en Buenos Aires música en los automóviles caen del walkman gotas de humedad y yo sigo con vos sabés se hace difícil seguir anclado aquí sin tu amor Ya sé, siempre soy yo andar siempre buscando y siempre volviendo a tu corazón y pienso que estamos al borde al borde de un cielo sin sol después no hay retorno ni tiempo mi amor y el circo se va de la city y Olmedo se ríe de todo después no hay retorno ni tiempo mi amor
Never Too Much Composer(s): Luther Vandross Performer(s): Luther Vandross; and various other artists
I can't fool myself, I don't want nobody else to ever love me You are my shinin' star, my guiding light, my love fantasy There's not a minute, hour, day or night that I don't love you You're at the top of my list 'cause I'm always thinkin' of you
I still remember in the days when I scared to touch you How I spent my day dreamin' plannin' how to say I love you You must have known that I had feelings deep enough to swim in That's when you opened up your heart and you told me to come in
Oh, my love A thousand kisses from you is never too much I just don't wanna stop
Oh, my love A million days in your arms is never too much I just don't wanna stop
Too much, never too much, never too much, never too much
Woke up today, looked at your picture just to get me started I called you up, but you weren't there and I was broken hearted Hung up the phone, can't be too late, the boss is so demandin' Opened the door up and to my surprise there you were standin'
Well, who needs to go to work to hustle for another dollar I'd rather be with you 'cause you make my heart scream and holler Love is a gamble and I'm so glad that I'm winnin' We've come a long way and yet this is only the beginnin'
Oh, my love A thousand kisses from you is never too much (Never too much, never too much, never too much) I just don't wanna stop
Oh, my love A million days in your arms is never too much (Never too much, never too much, never too much) And I just don't wanna stop
Oh, my love A thousand kisses from you is never (Never too much, never too much, never too much) I just don't wanna stop
Oh, my love A million days in your arms is never too much
Instants De Trêve Composer(s): Yves Duteil Performer(s): Yves Duteil
Ton univers se penche au bord de ma misère Et ton regard s'éclaire en rencontrant le mien Je voudrais que ça dure encore un millénaire C'est comme une oasis au milieu du chagrin
Je voudrais boire encore à cette source fraîche Sentir couler ta voix dans le creux de mon cur Éprouver du bonheur, avoir la gorge sèche En caressant tes seins comme on touche une fleur
Poser sur tes cheveux des paillettes de lune Et diriger mes doigts par des chemins cachés Qui s'effacent en s'ouvrant comme sable de dunes Vers une plage offerte en perles de rosée
Croquer de ton jardin tous les fruits de tendresse Sur ta peau qui frissonne au fil de mes baisers Y goûter la folie qui mène à la sagesse Et cueillir un soleil qui passe à ma portée
Je voudrais croire encore à ces instants de trêve Où plus rien du dehors ne peut nous arriver Quand nos regards se perdent au plus profond du rêve Que nos heures se confondent avec l'éternité
Oublier quelque temps l'ombre de la tristesse Pendant que le bonheur s'endort à nos côtés Bercés par la douceur du vent qui nous caresse Perdus dans la langueur d'un infini baiser
Berçés par la douceur du vent qui nous caresse Perdus dans la langueur d'un infini baiser
Never Thought You'd Leave Me Composer(s): Dave Leone Performer(s): The Pleasure Seekers and various other artists
Never, never thought you'd leave-a me baby Never thought you'd leave me alone A dream of mine and many other other guys The minute you tell 'em you're gone The minute you tell 'em you're gone
I see that you lied, you put the hurt on me And really, really did me wrong Now that I see what you done to me I just sit here by the phone Sittin' here by the phone
(Instrumental Break)
I tried to block you out like a bad dream baby Like blocking out the sun in the day The clouds have past, but the light's too bad And I think of you night and day Think of you night and day
Never, never thought you'd leave-a me baby Never thought you'd leave me alone A dream of mine and many other guys The minute you tell 'em you're gone The minute you tell 'em you're gone The minute you tell 'em you're..... Go on home Baby, you know I wan't you so much You lied to me, but I don't care Baby I love you so much
