Into My Arms Composer(s): Nick Cave First release by: Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - 1997
I don't believe in an interventionist God But I know, darling, that you do But if I did I would kneel down and ask Him Not to intervene when it came to you Not to touch a hair on your head To leave you as you are And if He felt He had to direct you Then direct you into my arms
Into my arms, O Lord Into my arms, O Lord Into my arms, O Lord Into my arms
And I don't believe in the existence of angels But looking at you I wonder if that's true But if I did I would summon them together And ask them to watch over you To each burn a candle for you To make bright and clear your path And to walk, like Christ, in grace and love And guide you into my arms
Into my arms, O Lord Into my arms, O Lord Into my arms, O Lord Into my arms
And I believe in Love And I know that you do too And I believe in some kind of path That we can walk down, me and you So keep your candlew burning And make her journey bright and pure That she will keep returning Always and evermore
Into my arms, O Lord Into my arms, O Lord Into my arms, O Lord Into my arms
Into Money Composer(s): Robin Trower Performer(s): Robin Trower
You've got your house, you've got your car You live up on the hill among the stars You say you did what you had to do But was it really worth what they put you through You know these things we believed in It didn't touch you at all I hate to see you like this baby With your back to the wall
You lost your heart, when you lost your nerve Maybe you lost your grip on that first curve You used to talk about bein' free Why, you're so tied up you can't even breathe
You know these things we believed in They didn't touch you at all I hate to see you like this baby With your back to the wall Money into money Money into money
Money into money Money into money You're into money, into money You're into money, money Into money yeah, yeah Into money Into money, into money, into money yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Into money
New Europeans Composer(s): Warren Cann; Chris Cross; Billy Currie; Ultravox; Midge Ure Performer(s): Midge Ure; Ultravox
In a quiet street washed by the rain
a room within the home A lonely man sits cheek to cheek with unique designs in chrome The mellow years have long gone by, but now he sits alone He has a brand new radio, but never turns it on
New Europeans Young Europeans New Europeans
A photograph of lovers lost lies pressed in magazines Her eyes belong to a thousand girls, she's the wife who's never seen Their educated son has left in search of borrowed dreams His television's in his bed, he's frozen to the screen
New Europeans Young Europeans New Europeans
On a crowded beach washed by the sun, he puts his headphones on His modern world revolves around the synthesizer's song Full of future thoughts and thrills, his senses slip away He's a European legacy, a culture for today
Into Each Life Some Rain Must Fall Composer(s): Doris Fisher; Allan Roberts Performer(s): Ella Fitzgerald & The Ink Spots and multiple other artists
Into each life some rain must fall But too much is falling in mine Into each heart some tears must fall But some day the sun will shine
Some folks can lose the blues in their hearts But when I think of you another shower starts Into each life some rain must fall But too much is falling in mine
Into each and every life some rain has got to fall But too much of that stuff is fallin' into mine And into each heart some tears gotta fall And I know that someday that sun is bound to shine
Some folks can lose the blues in their heart But when I think of you another shower starts Into each life some rain must fall But too much is fallin' in mine
New Cut Road Composer(s): Guy Clark Performer(s): Guy Clark; Bobby Bare; Johnny Cash; The Coal Porters; Emmylou Harris
Coleman Bonner was a fiddle playin' fool He's a backwoods rounder and a breaker of mules Coleman Bonner's got a wore out bow He's been playin' all day down the new cut road
Coleman's little sister said you better act right Daddy's gone to Louisville he'll be back tonight He's gonna get another wagon and a good pair of mules And we gonna move to Texas we just waitin' on you
Coleman's daddy pulled up in the yard He said pack up your lives kids it's gettin' too hard Kentucky's alright but there's too many people Just the other day I thought I saw a church steeple
Coleman said daddy don't you worry bout me I'm gonna stay here in Kentucky till the day I d I'm gonna drink that sourmash and gonna race that mare And find that woman with the fox red hair
Now you all been movin' west since the day you got married Well I'm gettin' off the wagon daddy I'm too old to be carried Gonna stay here in Kentucky where the bluegrass grow I'm gonna play it all night down the new cut road
Coleman's daddy said now what's it all comn' to Young people these days are just as stubborn as mules You can't make him go he's too old for that It's that damned old fiddle and that bowler hat
Coleman's mama said let the boy stay He's raised up solid and he can find his own way But as for me honey I'm with you I always thought Kentucky was just passin' through
Coleman's little sister then she started into a cryin' And his daddy shook his head for the very last time Coleman's mama said somebody's gotta do it Wouldn't be no Kentucky less you didn't stick to it
Coleman Booner stood on the porch of that cabin Watched 'em all go to Texas in a covered wagon He pulled out his fiddle and he rosined up his bow And he played a little tune called the new cut road
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!

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

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
