The Fast-Talkin' Agent
Composer(s): Horton
Performer(s): The Duke Of Paducah



Son, you better listen to Clagmouth Clackett
If you wanna make it big in the showbiz racket
You got a big hit, Boy, but that ain't enough
You need a fast-talkin' agent to handle your stuff
And that's me, Son, Clagmouth's the name
Big wheelin' and dealin', that's the name of the game
I'll put you in the big time, set you up a firm
Gizmo Productions, earn while you learn
Me and you's partners, just sign your name
And, Son, you're on your way to the Hall of Fame
Sign here... Fried Chicken... Roast Beef...
Boy, that's where the gravy is...
T'ain't no joke, Son
You gotta get a big shiny automobile
And a great big house on Luxury Hill
Great inspiration, lookin' down below
For writin' them songs about Poverty Row
And you cut 'em, and I'll plug 'em
But you gotta be honest, Boy, tell it like it is
'Cos you can't be a phoney in today's showbiz
Once upon a time you could be a big star
Singin' through your nose to a tinny guitar
With a ten gallon hat and a rhinestone suit
And a flat-top Martin, you could grind some loot
But that's gone, Son... Flat, dead and gone
Time's are a-changin'... There's a new put-on
Today makin' records is a whole new gig
You can't make a silk purse out of a pig
Forget about Ragtime and all that Jazz
Now you gotta have a message with your razzamatazz
Knock somethin'... Hate somebody
Mommy and Daddy... They're the ones to blame
They squeeezed all the sugar out o' Sugarfoot Rag
Now you gotta get a gimmick from a brand new bag
Picked all the petals from the Wildwood Flower
Now you gotta peddle soul with your guitar power
Start peddlin', Son... If you wanna get the bread
That's where it is, Boy... Cornball's dead
Leave that barnyard stuff for the chickens
The County Fair's where it's still good pickins
Old Aunt Martha pays a buck and a half
For a record and a picture, free autograph
She's happy... So's Uncle Jim
They know you're a good man...
Why you sang 'em a Hymn
Sock it to 'em, Boy, with a poverty pitch
For without poor people you'd be diggin' a ditch
And who buys the records that's makin' you rich
That's right, Boy, don't you ever forget it
It's them poor, poor people...
I've got me a Star...
Get away from be, Boy, you bother me...

Catch The Wind
((French Version: Autant Chercher À Retenir Le Vent (Richard Anthony) - 1965))
Composer(s): Donovan
First release by: Donovan - 1965
Covered by multiple other artists



In the chilly hours and minutes
Of uncertainty, I want to be
In the warm hold of your loving mind

To feel you all around me
And to take your hand, along the sand
Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind

When sundown pales the sky
I wanna hide a while, behind your smile
And everywhere I'd look, your eyes I'd find

For me to love you now
Would be the sweetest thing, 'twould make me sing
Ah, but I may as well, try and catch the wind

When rain has hung the leaves with tears
I want you near, to kill my fears
To help me to leave all my blues behind

For standin' in your heart
Is where I want to be, and I long to be
Ah, but I may as well, try and catch the wind

Folsom Prison Blues
Composer(s): Johnny Cash
Performer(s): Johnny Cash



I hear that train a-commin', it's rollin' around the bend
And I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when
I'm stuck in Folsom prison and time keeps draggin' on
But that train keeps a-rollin' on down to San Antone
When I was just a baby, my mama told me, son
Always be a good boy, don't ever play with guns
But I shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die
When I hear that whistle blowin', I hang my head and cry

I bet there's rich folks eatin' in a fancy dining car
They're probably drinking coffee and smoking big cigars
But I know I had it coming, I know I can't be free
But those people keep a-movin' and that's what tortures me

Well if that freed me from this prison
and that railroad train was mine
I bet I'd move it on a little farther down the line
Far from Folsom prison, that's where I want to stay
And I'd let that lonesome whistle blow my blues away

When evening falls
She'll run to me
Like whispered dreams
Your eyes can't see, ooh

Ride the wind to the sun
Sail away on ships of wonder

But life's not a wheel
With chains made of steel
So bless me

Come the dawn
Come the dawn

We believed we'd catch the rainbow
Ride the wind to the sun
Sail away on ships of wonder

But life's not a wheel
With chains made of steel
So bless me, oh bless me yeah, bless me

Come the dawn

Following In Your Footsteps
Composer(s): Ian Hunter; Mick Ronson
Performer(s): Ian Hunter; 
The Hunter Ronson Band



Some folk leave courage
some folk leave you hope 
Why am I out here hangin'
like a fool at the end o' my rope 
Some folk leave you wisdom
some folk leave you signs 
You can never be sure 
what went on before 
Life is just a matter of time 

Picture of you 
clouding my view 
I'm following in your footsteps
tryin' to make some sense of it all 
Maybe it's a sign of weakness
but that's where my footsteps fall 
I'm following in your footsteps
tryin' to hang on to your dreams 
You never got what you wanted 
So I never got what I need 
I'm following in your footsteps 
'cos that's where the footsteps lead 

Someone must have given me anger
someone must have given me hate 
Or why would I stand here shakin'
when there's so many chances to take 

Pictures of you
climb into view 
I'm following in your footsteps
tryin' to make some sense of it all 
Maybe it's a sign of weakness
but that's where my footsteps fall 

I'm following in your footsteps
watchin' my children grow 
They're following in my footsteps 
Takin' it on the road 
We're following in your footsteps 
'cos that's where the footsteps go 
We're following in your footsteps, yeah 
'cos that's where your footsteps go

The Family Of Man
Composer(s): Jack Conrad - Paul Williams
Performer(s): Three Dog Night



This tired city was somebody's dream
Billboard horizons as black as they seem
Four level highways across the land
We're building a home for the family of man
And it's so hard whatever we are coming to
Yes it's so hard with so little time
And so much to do
Time running out for the family of man
One man to lead us with so much to say
Moving the mountains that got in our way
Prayer books and meetings to find a plan
Deciding the fate of the family of man
Memories replacing the loves that we've lost
Burning our bridges as soon as they're crossed
Factories built where the rivers ran
And time running out for the family of man

Catch A Wave ((aka Sidewalk Surfin' (Jan & Dean) - 1964))
Composer(s): Brian Wilson
First release by: The Beach Boys - 1963
Covered by multiple other artists



Catch a wave and you're sitting on top of the world
Don't be afraid to try the greatest sport around
Everybody tries it once
Those who don't just have to put it down
You paddle out turn around and raise
And baby that's all there is to the coastline craze
You gotta catch a wave and you're sittin' on top of the world
Not just a fad cause it's been going on so long
All the surfers going strong
They said it wouldn't last too long
They'll eat their words with a fork and spoon
And watch 'em they'll hit the road and all be surfin' soon
And when they catch a wave they'll be sittin' on top of the world
Catch a wave and your sittin' on top of the world
So take a lesson from a top-notch surfer boy
Every Saturday boy
But don't treat it like a toy
Just get away from the shady turf
And baby go catch some rays on the sunny surf
And when you catch a wave you'll be sittin on top of the world
Catch a wave and you'll be sittin' on top of the world
Catch a wave and you'll be sittin' on top of the world
Catch a wave and you'll be sittin' on top of the world

Follow the river
The river knows the way
Come to me, I pray
I miss you more each day

Follow the river
Wherever you may be
Follow the river back to me

Sometimes I feel like I will jump for the moon
And tell the sky up high
Does it matter how full is the moon
If you've an empty heart

Bring back the great love
The love that once we knew
Make my dream come true
The dream I had with you

Follow the river
Wherever you may be
Follow the river back to me

Catch a train to my place

50 Jaar Televisie
((Adapted from: De Lichtjes Van De Schelde (Bobbejaan Schoepen) - 1952))
Performer(s): Ronny Mosuse
Composer(s): Bobbejaan Schoepen - Jan Stevens - Anton Beuving - Karel Vereertbrugghen



Doedoedoedoe...

Zeg weet je nog schat onze eerste TV
Ik ben hem toen zelf nog gaan halen
Hij stond op die kast, op een stuk toile cirée
Die doos ging ons leven bepalen

Jij hebt leren koken met 'Penelope'
Ik viel voor Regine in 'Zuid-Noord'
En weet je nog wel, onze dochter Josée
Is verwekt tijdens 't Is maar een woord'

Zie ik de beelden op de schermen
Dan gaat mijn hart wat sneller slaan
Daar ligt er eentje luid te kermen
Daar loopt een ventje op de maan

50 jaar lang al televisie
50 jaar lang die schone buis
Lichtpunt in het lastig leven
Een halve eeuw een vriend aan huis

Het paringsgedrag van de roodborsttapuit
Problemen met tandartspraktijken
Het beste beleg voor een zeemansbeschuit
Wij weten het dankzij veel kijken

De kinderen zijn groot en wij zijn nu alleen
Dat valt allemaal nog wel mee
Wij maken nooit ruzie, wij zijn nooit gemeen
We zitten gewoon voor TV

Zie ik de beelden op de schermen
Lalalalalalalala
Daar ligt er eentje luid te kermen
Lalalalalalalala

50 jaar lang al televisie
50 jaar lang die schone buis
Lichtpunt in het lastig leven
Een halve eeuw een vriend aan huis

Doedoedoedoe...

Catch A Star
Composer(s): Colin Hay
Performer(s): Men At Work



Experience babe, kickin' stones and cans
Experience babe, cigarette-stained hands
It's not too late, hear it in the wind
It's not too late, feel passion creepin' in
Intoxication, familiar smells of the hotels
Infatuation, of knowing who you are

You and I, You and I, You and I
Arrow through my heart
Catch a star

Isolation, rows and rows of cars
Isolation, like Jupiter and Mars
Staring faces, set in celluloid
Welcome to the late show, starring Null and Void
Complications, things get in the way
Sweet sensation of knowing you are near and not too far

You and I, You and I, You and I
Arrow through my heart
Catch a star

You and I, You and I, You and I
Freeway through your heart
Catch a star

Catch a star!

Follow That Dream
German Title: Ich Vertraue Dem Traum
Composer(s): Fred Wise; Ben Weisman
Performer(s): Elvis Presley; Cheyenne Jackson



(Follow that dream, I've got to follow that dream)
Keep a-movin', move along, keep a movin'
I've gotta follow that dream
wherever that dream may lead
I gotta follow that dream to find the love I need

When your heart gets restless, time to move along
When your heart gets weary, time to sing a song
But when a dream is calling you
There's just one thing that you can do

You've gotta follow that dream 
wherever that dream may lead
You gotta follow that dream 
to find the love you need

Keep a-movin', move along, keep a movin'

Gotta find me someone whose heart is free
Someone to look for my dream with me
And when I find her I may find out
That's what my dreams are all about

I've gotta follow that dream wherever that dream may lead
I gotta follow that dream to find the love I need

I-I-I gotta to follow that dream wherever that dream may lead
I gotta to follow that dream to find the love I need

(Keep a-movin', move along)
Keep a-movin', move along
Keep a-movin', move along
Keep a-movin'..........

The Faithful Hussar (Don't Cry My Love)
Performer(s): Vera Lynn



A soldier boy, so brave and gay
With head held high, he marched away
His sweetheart wept, but every night
He'd think of her and he would write
Don't cry, my love, while I am gone
Don't sigh, my love, just carry on

The leaves of green turned brown and gold
The days grew short and nights were cold
But when the winter winds blew chill
Afire with love, he'd write her still
Don't cry, my love, while I am gone
Don't sigh, my love, just carry on

Then came the day he'd hungered for
When he need live on dreams no more
For he could write and it was true
My dear, I'll soon be home to you
Don't cry, my love, I'm coming home
Don't sigh, my love, no more I'll roam

We two again will never part
Stand easy, love, you've won my heart

Catch A Falling Star

First recording/First release by: Perry Como - 1957/1958



Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket 
Never let it fade away 
Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket 
Save it for a rainy day 

For love may come and tap you on the shoulder some starless night 
Just in case you feel you want to hold her 
You'll have a pocketful of starlight 

Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket 
Never let it fade away 
Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket 
Save it for a rainy day 

For love may come and tap you on the shoulder some starless night 
Just in case you feel you want to hold her 
You'll have a pocketful of starlight 
(Pocketful of starlight, hm,hm,hm,hm,hm,hm) 

Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket 
Never let it fade away 
Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket 
Save it for a rainy day 

(Save it for a rainy, save it for a rainy, rainy, rainy, day) 

For when your troubles start multiplyin' and they just might 
It's easy to forget them without tryin' 
With just a pocketful of starlight 

Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket 
Never let it fade away 
Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket 
Save it for a rainy day 

(Save it for a rainy day) 
Save it for a rainy day

Follow My Leader
Performer(s): Harry Hemsley



Follow my leader, follow my leader
Follow my leader, down to the mill
Follow my leader , follow my leader
Through the green meadow, and over the hill
Over the bridge, and along by the stream, with
Never a thought of a stumble, or spill
Follow my leader, follow my leader
Follow my leader, down to the mill

Follow my leader, follow my leader
Follow my leader, down to the farm
Follow my leader, follow my leader
Be sure when you follow, you come to no harm
Down shady lanes, and through hedges, and ditches
Careful to cause wandering hens, no alarm
Passing the hen-coops, barns, and the cow-sheds
Follow my leader, down to the farm

Follow my leader, follow my leader
Follow my leader, down to the sea
Follow my leader, follow my leader
Heedless of waves, and the wind blowing free
Over the rocks, that lay bare in the sunlight
shouting and laughing in pure childish glee
Follow my leader, follow my leader
Follow my leader, down to the sea

The Fairest Of The Seasons
Composer(s): Gregory Copeland - Jackson Browne
Performer(s): Nico



Now that it's time
Now that the hour hand has landed at the end
Now that it's real
Now that the dreams have given all they had to lend
I want to know do I stay or do I go
And maybe try another time
And do I really have a hand in my forgetting?

Now that I've tried
Now that I've finally found that this is not the way
Now that I turn
Now that I feel it's time to spend the night away
I want to know do I stay or do I go
And maybe finally split the rhyme
And do I really understand the undernetting?

Yes and the morning has me
Looking in your eyes
And seeing mine warning me
To read the signs carefully

Now that it's light
Now that the candle's falling smaller in my mind
Now that it's here
Now that I'm almost not so very far behind
I want to know do I stay or do I go
And maybe follow another sign
And do I really have a song that I can ride on?

Now that I can
Now that it's easy, ever easy all around
Now that I'm here
Now that I'm falling to the sunlights and a song
I want to know do I stay or do I go
And do I have to do just one
And can I choose again if I should lose the reason?

Yes, and the morning
Has me looking in your eyes
And seeing mine warning me
To read the signs more carefully

Now that I smile
Now that I'm laughing even deeper inside
Now that I see
Now that I finally found the one thing I denied
It's now I know do I stay or do I go
And it is finally I decide
That I'll be leaving
In the fairest of the seasons
