The Diary Composer(s): Neil Sedaka - Howard Greenfield Performer(s): Neil Sedaka; Walter Wanderley
(Ah, ah, ah, ah) (Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
How I'd like to look into that little book The one that has the lock and key And know the boy that you care for The boy who's in your diary
When it's late at night what is the name you write? Oh, what I'd give if I could see Am I the boy that you care for? The boy who's in your diary
Do you recall and make note of all The little things I say and do? The name you underline, I'm hoping that it's mine Darling, I'm so in love with you-oo
Please don't leave me blue, make all my dreams come true You know how much you mean to me Say I'm the boy that you care for The boy who's in your di-a-ry
Carpet Man
Composer(s): Jimmy Webb
Performer(s): The 5th Dimension
and multiple other artists
When you see some puddles on the ground You lay down so she don't have to walk around You think that will protect her from the rain But you'll never ever stop the pain She walks all over you You know she can, she knows she can You're a carpet man, you're a carpet man
You take such care to keep that girl's feet clean Like she's some kind of figurine The world's so far below her it's not her scene And so she uses you to stand between She walks all over you You know she can, she knows she can You're a carpet man, you're a carpet man
I would think you'd get tired of hurtin' Every now and then It's no good down there that's for certain And carpets do get thin And that's when they have to be thrown away That's what she'll say to herself some sunny day And she'll say come to my wedding and of course you do And then the groom and her will have a dance on you She walks all over you You know she can, she knows she can You're a carpet man, you're a carpet man
Un soir qu'à l'improviste chtac Je frappe à ma porte toc toc
Sans réponse je pousse le loqu Et j'écoute gémir le hamac Grincer les ressorts du paddock J'avance dans le block Out et mon kodak Impressionne sur les plaques Sensibles de mon cerveau une vision de claque Je sens mon rythme cardiaque Qui passe brusquement à mach Deux tic tac tic tac tic tac tic tac Comme sous un électrochoc Elle était entre deux macaques Du genre festival à Woodstock Et semblait une guitare rock À deux jacks L'un à son trou d'obus l'autre à son trou de balle Crac
Eh doc... Qui moi paranoïaque? Demandez donc un peu au vioque Qui est portier de nuit au Rox Y Hôtel si je débloque
C'est là à jamais sur le bloc Notes de ma mémoire black Sur white et quoique Je fasse ça me reviendra en flash back Bordel jusqu'à ce que j'en claque
The Diamantina Drover Composer(s): Hugh MacDonald Performer(s): John Williamson and multiple other artists
The faces in the photograph have faded And I can't believe he looks so much like me For it's been ten years today Since I left for Old Cork Station Sayin' I won't be back till the drovin's done
For the rain never falls on the dusty Diamantina And a drover finds it hard to change his mind For the years have surely gone Like the drays from Old Cork Sta-ation And I won't be back till the drovin's done
Well it seems like the sun comes up each mornin' Sets me up and takes it all away For the dreaming by the light Of the camp fire at ni-ight Ends with the burning by the day
For the rain never falls on the dusty Diamantina And a drover finds it hard to change his mind For the years have surely gone Like the drays from Old Cork Sta-ation And I won't be back till the drovin's done
Sometimes I think I'll settle back in Sydney But it's been so long it's hard to change my mind For the cattle trail goes on and on And the fences roll forever And I won't be back till the drovin's done
For the rain never falls on the dusty Diamantina And a drover finds it hard to change his mind For the years have surely gone Like the drays from Old Cork Sta-ation And I won't be back till the drovin's done
For the rain never falls on the dusty Diamantina And a drover finds it hard to change his mind For the years have surely gone Like the drays from Old Cork Station And I won't be back till the drovin's done
Flamingos Fly Composer(s): Van Morrison Performer(s): Van Morrison; Sammy Hagar
Go for a ride In the still of the night And morning brings forth All this wonderful delight Couldn't have made it more plain When I heard that soft refrain And I heard you gently sigh
Wanna take you where flamingos fly, flamingos fly Way over yonder in the clear blue sky That's where flamingos fly
Lie in the dark With the sound of the nightingale Listen for a lark I will tell you a tale Breeze is blowin', blowin' outside Wanna take that moonlight ride When I hear you gently sigh
Wanna take you where flamingos fly, flamingos fly Way over yonder in the clear blue sky That's where flamingos fly
Well we're here and we're waiting For that morning light to shine And I'm looking at you looking at me looking right back at you And I'm anticipating Sounds along the way Looking at you looking at me looking right back at you, hey
I'll follow the road That will take me, take me right back home And carry that load Where the deer and the provincial angels roam Happiness touches, touches me now I know where it came from and how When I hear you gently sigh
Wanna take you where flamingos fly, flamingos fly Way over yonder in the clear blue sky That's where flamingos fly, flamingos fly Way over the rooftops of the houses I heard it one time, I heard it one time in a lullaby I heard it one time, I heard it one time in a lullaby Somewhere, somewhere, somewhere way over the rooftops of the houses Heard it one time in a lullaby Heard it one time, heard it one time in a lullaby
The Devil Went Down To Georgia Composer(s): Charlie Daniels - Charles Hayward - Tom Crain - Fred Edwards - Taz DiGregorio - James Marshall First release by: The Charlie Daniels Band - 1979 Covered by multiple other artists
The devil went down to Georgia He was looking for a soul to steal He was in a bind 'Cause he was way behind And he was willing to make a deal
When he came upon this young man Sawing on a fiddle and plain' it hot And the devil jumped Up on a hickory stump And said boy let me tell you what
Now you play a pretty good fiddle, boy But give the devil his due I'll bet a fiddle of gold Against your soul 'Cause I think I'm better than you
The boy said my name's Johnny And it might be a sin But I'll take your bet And you're gonna regret 'Cause I'm the best there's ever been
The devil opened up his case And he said I'll start this show And fire flew from his fingertips As he rosined up his bow
Then he pulled the bow across the strings And it made a [sic] evil hiss And a band of demons joined in And it sounded something like this
When the devil finished Johnny said well you're pretty good old son Just sit right in that chair right there And let me show you how it's done
He played Fire on the Mountain Run boys, run The devil's in the House of the Rising Sun Chicken in a bread pan picking out dough Granny does your dog bite No child, no
The devil bowed his head Because he knew that he'd been beat And he laid that golden fiddle On the ground and Johnny's feet
Johnny said, Devil just come on back If you ever want to try again I done told you once you son of a bitch I'm the best there's ever been
And he played Fire on the Mountain Run boys, run The devil's in the House of the Rising Sun Chicken in a bread pan picking out dough Granny does your dog bite No child, no

Flaming Star Composer(s): Sid Wayne; Sherman Edwards Performer(s): Elvis Presley; The Headliners
Ev'ry man has a flaming star A flaming star over his shoulder And when a man sees his flaming star He knows his time, his time has come
Flaming star, don't shine on me, flaming star Flaming star, keep behind me, flaming star There's a lot o' livin' I got to do Give me time to make a few dreams come true Flaming star (Flaming star)
When I ride, I feel that flaming star That flaming star over my shoulder And so I ride, front of that flaming star Never lookin' around, never lookin' around
Flaming star, don't shine on me, flaming star Flaming star, keep behind me, flaming star There's a lot o' livin' I gotta do Give me time to make a few dreams come true Flaming star (Flaming star)
One fine day, I'll see that flaming star That flaming star over my shoulder And when I see that old flaming star I'll know my time, my time has come
Flaming star, don't shine on me, flaming star Flaming star, keep behind me, flaming star There's a lot o' livin' I gotta do Give me time to make a few dreams come true (Flaming star)
The Desert Song Composer(s): Sigmund Romberg - Otto Harbach - Oscar Hammerstein II Performer(s): Mario Lanza with Judith Raskin and multiple other artists
Why spend your time in vague romancing When life itself is at your call I come to you my heart advancing O come with me and you will be my all
You turn away and yet you tremble My little bird has wings it seems ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
My desert is waiting Dear, come there with me I'm longing to teach you Love's sweet melody
I'll sing a dream-song to you Painting a picture for two
Blue heaven and you and I And sand kissing a moonlit sky A desert breeze whisp'ring a lullaby Only stars above you To see I love you
Oh, give me that night divine And let my arms in yours entwine The desert song calling Its voice enthralling Will make you mine

The Deepest Shelter In Town Composer(s): Jones Performer(s): Florence Desmond
Don't run away mister Oh, stay and play mister Don't worry if you hear the sirens go Though I'm not a lady of the highest virtue I wouldn't dream of letting anything hurt you And so before you go, I think you ought to know
I've got a cosy flat, there's a lace for your hat I wear a pink chiffon négligé gown And do I know my stuff, but if that's not enough I've got the deepest shelter in town
I've got a room for two, a radio that's new An alarm clock that won't let you down And I've got central heat, but to make it complete I've got the deepest shelter in town
Every modern comfort I can just guarantee If you hear the siren call then it's probably me
And, sweetie, to revert, I'll keep you on the alert I won't even be wearing a frown So you can hang around here until the all clear In the deepest shelter in town
Now honey, I don't sing of an Anderson thing Climbing in one you look like a clown But if you came here to see, why Sir John would agree I've got the deepest shelter in town
Now Mr. Morrison says he's getting things done And he's a man of the greatest renown But before it gets wrecked, I hope you'll come and inspect The deepest shelter in town
Now I was one of the first to clear my attic of junk But when it comes to shelters nowadays it's all bunk
So honey, don't get scared, it's there to be shared And you'll feel like a king with a crown So please don't be mean, better men than you have been In the deepest shelter The neatest shelter The deepest shelter in town
Dans le tumulte infernal D'un gigantesque bal De 14 juillet Ton cur fit à sa façon Une révolution Mais seul ton corps dansait La carmagnole Tu acceptais ton destin Mais gardais néanmoins Malgré tes airs frivoles Ton cur pour l'homme de ta vie Caroline chérie
Dans l'immense tourbillon Quand l'enfer des passions Enflammait les esprits Toi tout simplement armée De ta seule beauté Tu as su à tout prix Garder ta tête En faisant des concessions Car l'âme a ses raisons Que la raison rejette L'amour vaut bien quelques folies Caroline chérie
Tu vivais de la folle moisson Des doux printemps de ta vie Et quand tu criais non Tout en toi semblait dire oui À l'amour comme à l'amour Tu as suivi le cours Tracé par ton destin Et ta jeunesse en péril Suspendue à un fil N'appartenait à rien, ni à personne Mais rêvait à l'homme Qui allume de ses nuits Qui vous révolutionne T'apportant la joie par ce cri Caroline chérie
