Take This Job And Shove It
Composer(s): David Allan Coe
Performer(s): David Allan Coe



Take this job and shove it
I ain't workin' here no more
My woman done left and took all of the reasons
That I was workin' for

You better not try to stand in my way
When I'm walkin' out the door
Take this job and shove it
I ain't workin' here no more

Well, I've been working in this factory
Pretty close to 15 years
I've seen some of my best friends women
Drownin' in a pool of tears

I've seen a lot of kinfolks dyin'
I had a lot of bills to pay
Lord, I'd give the shirt right often my back
If I had the guts to say, say what?

Take this job and shove it
I ain't workin' here no more
My woman's done left and took all of the reasons
That I was workin' for

You better not try to stand in my way
When I'm walkin' out the door
Take this job and shove it
I ain't workin' here no more

The foreman is a regular S.O.B.
And the night boss, he's a fool
He got himself a brand new flattop haircut
Lord, he really thinks that's cool

One of these days I'm gonna blow my top
And that's shockin', he's gonna pay it
Well I can't wait to see their faces
When I get the nerve to say, say what?

Take this job and shove it
I ain't workin' here no more
My woman done left and took all of the reasons
That I was workin' for

You better not try to stand in my way
When I'm walkin' out the door
Take this job and shove it
I ain't workin' here no more
Take this job and shove it

Move With Me
Composer(s): Tim Buckley
Performer(s): Tim Buckley; Jack Knife and the Sharps



I went down to the meat rack tavern
And found myself a big ol' healthy girl
Now she was drinkin' alone
Aw what a waste of sin
So I went on over to sweet talk that girl
Lord I moved on in
Lord I whispered come on and move with me
Move with me move with me move with me darlin'
Aw don't be shy
I'm gonna mess witcha, mess witcha, mess witcha
Mess witcha, mess witcha mind 
Well, I don't care if you tell me you're married
'Cause I can be your man when your husband ain't home
Now if he should walk in you just tell him I'm your houseboy
And that you just can't stand to sleep here alone...no more 

I wanna move with you, move with you, move with you
Move with you darlin'
I wanna mess witcha mess witcha mess witcha
Mess witcha mind 

Well now he finally walked in
And Lord that man filled up the doorway
Well he grabbed me by my throat
And he bounced me down the stairs
And Lord I swear, he broke every bone in my body
But it was worth every second that I was there
Cause she would whisper to me... 

Move with me, move with me, move with me
Move with me darlin'
I'm gonna mess witcha, mess witcha, mess witcha
Mess witcha mind 

Well now I

The food is cold
Your eyes are cold
The window's cold
The bed's cold 
Give me something that's not cold, come on, come on (3x)
Give me, give me, give me 
The chair's hard
Your voice is hard
The money's hard
The living's hard 
Give me something that's not hard, come on, come on (3x)
Give me, give me, give me 
I'll give you my heartbeat
And a bit of tear and flesh
It's not very much but while it's there
You can have it, you can have it

(Take these chains from my heart and set me free)

Take these chains from my heart and set me free
You've grown cold and no longer care for me
All my faith in you is gone but the heartaches linger on
Take these chains from my heart and set me free 

Take these tears from my eyes and let me see
Just a spark of the love that used to be
If you love somebody new, let me find a new love, too
Take these chains from my heart and set me free

Give my heart just a word of sympathy (sympathy)
Be as fair to my heart as you can be (you can be)
Then if you no longer care for the love that's beating there
Take these chains from my heart and set me free

Take these chains from my heart and set me free (set me free) 

Move Over Ms. L.
Composer(s): John Lennon
Originally performed by: Keith Moon
Covered by: John Lennon



One, two, a one, two, three, four

Well now the underground and overjoyed they come on just the same
Don't wanna get too real man, just wanna play the game
I guess ya knew it all along we were just singing in the rain
Can't get hipped to the down trip, the ship is sailing yet
And if it sinks, you know that all you really get is wet!

Move over Ms. L.
You know I wish you well
Move over Ms. L. you know I wish you well
Move over Ms. L.

Well now to err is something human and forgiving so divine
I'll forgive your trespasses, if you forgive me mine
Life's a deal, you knew it, when you signed the dotted line
They nail you to the paper, put a rope around your neck
And so we sing along, the boy stood on the burning deck!

Move over Ms. L.
You know I wish you well
Move over Ms. L. you know I wish you well
Move over Ms. L.

Well now momma poppa told me son you better watch your head
Your head is fulla snakes boy, you're better red than dead
They're starving back in China, that's what they always said!
Can't get head in the head shop, yer jeans are fulla crap
You're full of beans, you're in your teens, you lost your momma's road map!

Move over Ms. L.
You know I wish you well
Move over Ms. L. you know I wish you well
Move over Ms. L.

(Can I) Find The Right Words (To Say)
Composer(s): Jimmy Destri - Debbie Harry
Performer(s): Blondie



Look up the right words
The ones for today
And use them correctly
And mean what I say
Answer the questions
Crossword confession
Interrogation
I'm down, can we meet
Is it true, do you cheat?
How far can I go?
How much do you know?
What's the definition?
How much did she mention?
How much does she know?
Can I find the right words to say?
The right words are so hard to say

It's a challenger puzzle
From the magazine section
Across with the questions
Do the ethics of reference
One hundred twenty brain teasers to torment you
One hundred thoughts
I can't find the right words to say
My meaning's not quite getting through
The right words are so hard to say
Can I find the right words for you?

Let's not hedge our bets
'Cause the odds are dependent
Please listen instead
Now the whispers are ending
The point's misleading
As points often do
Can I find the right words for you?

Move Over Moon
Composer(s): Kate McGarrigle
Performer(s): Kate & Anna McGarrigle



My horoscope warns me don't talk to strangers
Talk dark and handsome or short bald and plain
My soothsayer says to sit tight
And wait for my stars to get rearranged

So don't talk to me
Don't bother me
I'm just waiting for my heavens to change

Move over Moon
Get out of Uranus
'cause this house is anxious
For the sun to come in
'cause it's on the rise
It's on the rise
It's time for my new day to begin
So move over Moon

I sit at my window
By the first light of dawn
Tapping on the glass
As I worry out loud
I'm waiting for a wind to blow
And break up this sinister cloud
Till the stillness and calm of the early morning snaps
With the screeching of tires and the honkin' of the horns
They're pushin' and shovin' downtown
God knows nerves are frayed and badly torn
Still don't talk to me, don't bother me
I don't know yet what aspect is formed

Here is my nickel and here is my dime
Go down to the corner and buy me the Times
And look it up, look it up
Tell me if my planets are all in a line
All in a line

Move Over Moon
Get out of Uranus
'cause this house is anxious for the Sun to come in
'cause it's on the rise, it's on the rise
It's time for my new day to begin
So Move over Moon

Composer(s): Eddie Holland - Lamont Dozier - Brian Holland
First release by: The Miracles - 1966
Covered by multiple other artists



Now you say every time you need some affection
The one you love goes in another direction
And you just sit there in a daze reminiscing
When you know some other lips he's been kissing

Now when you need the love he's never shown you come round here
And when you need some loving arms to hold you come round here
Now I may not be the one you want
Oh But I know I'm the one you need
Said I may not be the one you want
Ooh but I know I'm the one you need

Your life stands still the minute he goes
You count the hours just hoping he shows
Girl can't you see while you're longing for his touch
That I'm the one who loves you so much
While you're longing for his embrace
You're all alone there with tears on your face

Now when you feel the need to cry to someone cry to me
And when you feel the need to lean on someone lean on me
Now I may not be the one you want but I sure 'nuff the one you need
Oh baby I may not be the one you want ooh but I know I'm the one you need

Now the days the days you sit alone by yourself
He's out fooling round with somebody else
Leaving you alone here with nothing to do
Just waiting 'till he has time for you

Now when the loneliness gets hard to bear girl come round here
And when you need a little tender loving care girl come round here
Now I may not be the one you want
But I know I'm the one you need ...

Take The Long Way Home
Composer(s): Rick Davies - Roger Hodgson
Supertramp - 1979



So you think you're a Romeo 
playing a part in a picture-show 
Take the long way home 
Take the long way home 

Cos you're the joke of the neighborhood 
Why should you care if you're feeling good 
Take the long way home 
Take the long way home 

But there are times that you feel you're part of the scenery 
all the greenery is comin' down, boy 
And then your wife seems to think you're part of the 
furniture oh, it's peculiar, she used to be so nice

When lonely days turn to lonely nights 
you take a trip to the city lights 
And take the long way home 
Take the long way home 

You never see what you want to see 
Forever playing to the gallery 
You take the long way home 
Take the long way home 

And when you're up on the stage, it's so unbelievable 
unforgettable, how they adore you, 
But then your wife seems to think you're losing your sanity
oh, calamity, is there no way out? 

Does it feel that you life's become a catastrophe? 
Oh, it has to be for you to grow, boy
When you look through the years and see what you could 
have been oh, what might have been
if you'd had more time

So, when the day comes to settle down
Who's to blame if you're not around? 
You took the long way home 

Move On Up 
Composer(s): Curtis Mayfield
Originally performed by: Curtis Mayfield
Covered by various other artists



Hush now child and don't you cry
Your folks might understand you by and by
Move on up towards your destination
You may find from time to time
Complications 

Bite your lip and take a trip
Though there may be wet road ahead
You cannot slip
So move on up and peace you will find
Into the steeple of beautiful people
Where there's only one kind

So hush now child and don't you cry
Your folks might understand you by and by
Just move on up and keep on wishing
Remember your dreams are your only schemes
So keep on pushing
Take nothing less - not even second best
And do not obey - you must have your say
You can past the test

Move on up!

Performer(s): The Motels; Barbie Anaka



Watching my hands
Holding my face
One more evening gone to waste
No longer do I know my place

Killing time and missing my cues
Watching her belong to you
Tears could only change my view

Take the "L" out of Lover and it's over
Take the "L" out of Lover and it's over

Growing up has always been tough
Good intentions never good enough
I would take you far away
Do anything to make you stay

Take the "L" out of Lover and it's over
Take the "L" out of Lover and it's over
Take the "L" out of Lover and it's over

Every drink and cigarette
All those times we never met
There are things we should forget
Now it's over, over

Take the "L" out of Lover and it's over
Take the "L" out of Lover and it's over
Take the "L" out of Lover and it's over
Take the "L" out of Lover and it's over
Take the "L" out of Lover and it's over
Take the "L" out of Lover and it's over

I feel so sad now that she's gone
I've been loving that woman too long
There is no place to go because my friends have all moved
Got nothing but sit in the sun
Got tired of crying, guess I'll move on alone

My bed is so empty and my heart is grown cold
guess I'll just die before I grow old
The place is untidy, that's `cos I ain't done my dirt
I just grown tired of thinking
Got tired of crying, guess I'll move on alone

Ça, c'est une aubaine
Ça, c'est merveilleux
Ça, c'est un coup d'veine
Du tonnerre de Dieu
Ça, c'est formidable
Ça, c'est mieux que bon
Ça, c'est incroyable
Une explosion

De plus doux, de plus tendre aussi
Plus cruel et plus âpre aussi

Ça, c'est une aubaine
Ça, c'est merveilleux
Ça, c'est un coup d'veine
Je suis amoureux
Y a du soleil sur son visage
De l'amour dans son cœur qui bat
Comme, accrochée à son corps sage
La vie qui veut rire aux éclats
Y a ses vingt ans qui vagabondent
Emportant mon cœur sur ses pas
Et je raconte à tout le monde
Et je crie par-dessus les toits
Ça, c'est une aubaine
Ça, c'est merveilleux
Ça, c'est un coup d'veine
Du tonnerre de Dieu
Ça, c'est formidable
Ça, c'est mieux que bon

Autre chose de plus cruel, de plus âpre aussi

Je suis, chérie
Je suis, mon doux
Je suis amoureux, amoureux de vous
