    The Final Cut
    Composer(s): Roger Waters
    First release by: Pink Floyd - 1983



    Through the fish-eyed lens of tear stained eyes
    I can barely define the shape of this moment in time
    And far from flying high in clear blue skies
    I'm spiraling down to the hole in the ground where I hide

    If you negotiate the minefield in the drive
    And beat the dogs and cheat the cold electronic eyes
    And if you make it past the shotgun in the hall
    Dial the combination, open the priesthole
    And if I'm in I'll tell you what's behind the wall

    There's a kid who had a big hallucination
    Making love to girls in magazines
    He wonders if you're sleeping with your new found faith
    Could anybody love him
    Or is it just a crazy dream?

    And if I show you my dark side
    Will you still hold me tonight?
    And if I open my heart to you
    And show you my weak side
    What would you do?
    Would you sell your story to Rolling Stone?
    Would you take the children away
    And leave me alone?
    And smile in reassurance
    As you whisper down the phone?
    Would you send me packing?
    Or would you take me home?

    Thought I oughta bare my naked feelings
    Thought I oughta tear the curtain down
    I held the blade in trembling hands
    Prepared to make it but just then the phone rang
    I never had the nerve to make the final cut

    "Hello? Listen, I think I've got it
    Okay, listen it's a HaHa!"

    Catfish John Composer(s): Bob McDill - Allen Reynolds First release by: Johnny Russell - 1972 Covered by multiple other artists



    Momma said don't go near that river
    Don't be hangin' 'round old Catfish John
    But come the morning I'd always be there
    Walking in his footsteps in that sweet delta dawn

    Born a slave in the town of Vicksburg
    Traded for a chestnut mare
    But he never spoke in anger
    Though his load was hard to bear

    Momma said don't go near that river
    Don't be hangin' 'round old Catfish John
    But come the morning I'd always be there
    Walking in his footsteps in that sweet delta dawn

    Let me dream of another morning
    Of a time so long ago
    Where the sweet magnolias blossom
    And cotton fields were white as snow

    Momma said don't go near that river
    Don't be hangin' 'round old Catfish John
    But come the morning I'd always be there
    Walking in his footsteps in that sweet delta dawn

    Fool For You Anyway
    Composer(s): Mick Jones
    Performer(s): Foreigner; The Average White Band



    Well I miss you honey
    A little more every day
    And I know if I kissed you
    You'd be comin' back home to stay

    'Cause I know I was wrong
    But how long do I have to pay?

    You know you belong here beside me
    I'm a fool for you anyway
    I'm a fool for you anyway
    'Cause I'm a fool for you anyway

    Well I cried for you so long
    My river of tears ran dry
    And I tried to be so strong
    But grew weaker as time went by

    You know your love left a mark on me
    I don't think it will fade away

    I'll sit here and wait 'til you come home
    'Cause I'm a fool for you anyway
    I'm a fool for you anyway
    Fool for you anyway

    You know your love left a mark on me, on me
    I don't think it will fade away

    I'll sit here and wait 'til you come home
    'Cause I'm a fool for you anyway
    'Cause I'm a fool for you anyway
    I'm a fool for you anyway

    Fool for you anyway
    Fool for you anyway
    'Cause I'm a fool for you anyway
    A fool for you anyway
    Fool for you anyway
    I'm a fool for you anyway

    Fields Of Athenry
    Composer(s): Pete St. John
    First recording/First release by: Danny Doyle - 1979/1980
    Covered by multiple other artists



    By a lonely prison wall, I heard a young girl calling
    "Michael, they have taken you away
    For you stole Trevelyan's corn
    So the young might see the morn
    Now a prison ship lies waiting in the bay"

    Low lie the fields of Athenry
    Where once we watched the small free birds fly
    Our love was on the wing
    We had dreams and songs to sing
    It's so lonely round the fields of Athenry

    By a lonely prison wall, I heard a young man calling
    "Nothing matters, Mary, when you're free
    Against the famine and the crown
    I rebelled, they cut me down
    Now you must raise our child with dignity"

    Low lie the fields of Athenry
    Where once we watched the small free birds fly
    Our love was on the wing
    We had dreams and songs to sing
    It's so lonely round the fields of Athenry

    By a lonely harbor wall, she watched the last star fall
    As the prison ship sailed out against the sky
    For she lived to hope and pray for her love in Botany Bay
    It's so lonely round the fields of Athenry

    Low lie the fields of Athenry
    Where once we watched the small free birds fly
    Our love was on the wing
    We had dreams and songs to sing
    It's so lonely round the fields of Athenry

    Well I wish
    I was a catfish
    swimmin' in a oh, deep, blue sea
    I would have all you good lookin' women

    Fishin', fishin' after me
    Sure 'nough, a-after me

    You know, my husband just now left
    Sure 'nough, he just now left
    Sure 'nough, he just now left"
    Sure 'nough, oh well, oh well

    Well, my mother told my father
    just before hmmm, I was born
    "I got a boy child's comin'
    He's gonna be, he's gonna be a rollin' stone
    Sure 'nough, he's a rollin' stone
    Sure 'nough, he's a rollin' stone"
    Oh well he's a, oh well he's a, oh well he's a

    Well, I feel, yes I feel

    Back down the road I'm goin'
    Back down the road I'm goin'
    Sure 'nough back, sure 'nough back

    Fool For Love
    Performer(s): Michael Bolton & Johnny Hallyday



    Je vous préviens, n'approchez pas
    Que vous soyez flic ou badaud
    Je tue celui qui fait un pas
    Je ne ferai pas de cadeau

    Eteignez tous ces projecteurs
    Et baissez ces fusils braqués
    Non, je ne vais pas m'envoler sans elle

    I took her life, her tender life
    I couldn't bear the thing to see
    And life and love and give herself
    To any other man than me

    So if my world will end tonight
    I will not cry
    I do not care
    I'll meet her in another life somewhere

    I was a fool, a fool for love
    A fool who believed
    That she came from above
    I'll stay a fool until I die
    She was my world, my breath, my sky

    I'm just a fool who lost her control
    Along with my soul
    In time a fool becomes a clown
    And you will laugh as I fall down

    We'll never be in peace again
    I'll never feel her warm caress
    And live each day just thinking of
    My angel in a pale blue dress

    Je vais ouvrir grand les volets
    Crevez-moi le cœur je suis prêt
    Je veux m'endormir pour toujours près d'elle

    I was a fool, a fool for love
    A foll who believed that she came
    From above
    I'll stay a fool until I die
    She was my world, my breath, my sky
    I'm just a fool who lost her control
    Along with my soul
    In time a fool becomes a clown
    And you will laugh as I
    As I fall down

    And so once again
    My dear Johnny my dear friend
    And so once again you are fightin' us all
    And when I ask you why

    You raise your sticks and cry, and I fall
    Oh, my friend
    How did you come
    To trade the fiddle for the drum

    You say I have turned
    Like the enemies you've earned
    But I can remember
    All the good things you are
    And so I ask you please
    Can I help you find the peace and the star
    Oh, my friend
    What time is this
    To trade the handshake for the fist

    And so once again
    Oh, America my friend
    And so once again
    You are fighting us all
    And when we ask you why
    You raise your sticks and cry and we fall
    Oh, my friend

    You say we have turned

    But we can remember
    All the good things you are
    And so we ask you please
    Can we help you find the peace and the star
    Oh my friend
    We have all come
    To fear the beating of your drum

    When I get home from my job
    I turn on my T.V.
    But I can't keep my mind on the show
    When I lay down at night
    I don't get no sleep
    So I turn on the radio
    But, Lord, the only thing I hear
    Is you whisperin' in my ear
    The words that you used to say
    Well, now the days grow longer
    My love grows stronger
    And the fever gets worse every day

    I got a fever for a girl
    He's got the fever
    Oh, he's got the fever
    Nothing that a boy can do
    When he's got the fever for a girl
    He's got the fever
    Oh, he's got the fever
    Left this little boy blue

    I can remember comin' home
    See you standin' at the stove
    With the dishes on the table
    Dinner ready to go
    Or maybe out to a movie show
    Something that you'd like to see
    Oh, you were my sun in the morning
    And my moon at night
    When you put your arms around me
    Made me fell alright
    Well, now the days grow longer
    And my love just grows stronger
    And the fever gets so bad at night

    I got a fever for a girl
    He's got the fever
    Oh, he's got the feverNothing that a boy can do
    When he's got the fever for a girl
    He's got the fever
    Oh, he's got the fever
    Left this little boy blue

    It's gonna be alright, now
    If I can make it to the morning
    I'm gonna be alright, now
    If I can just make it to the morning

    It's just this long and lonely nights
    Everytime I close my eyes
    All I see is her face
    Everytime I shut my eyes
    All I see is her face
    But I'm gonna be alright, now
    I'll be alright, now
    When I shut down all the lights
    When I turn off all the lights
    When I turn down all the lights
    And when I lay my head on the pillow
    I can't stop myself in thinking
    "Baby, where are you tonight?"
    "Where is she tonight?"

    and various other artists



    A dying flame, you're free again
    Who could love and do that to you
    All dressed in black, he won't be coming back
    Save your tears, you've got years and years
    The pains of seventeen's
    Unreal they're only dreams
    Save your crying for the day

    Fool if you think it's over
    'Cos you said goodbye
    Fool if you think it's over
    I'll tell you why
    New born eyes always cry with pain
    At the first look at the morning sun
    You're a fool if you think it's over
    It's just begun

    Miss teenage dream, such a tragic scene
    he knocked your crown and ran away
    First wound of pride and how you cried and cried
    But save your tears you've got years and years

    Fool if you think it's over
    'Cos you said goodbye
    Fool if you think it's over
    I'll tell you why
    New born eyes always cry with pain
    At the first look at the morning sun
    You're a fool if you think it's over
    It's just begun

    I'll buy your first good wine
    We'll have a real good time
    Save your crying for the day
    That may not come but anyone
    Who had to pay would laugh at you and say

    Fool if you think it's over
    'Cos you said goodbye
    Fool if you think it's over
    I'll tell you why

    Father Of A Boy Named Sue
    Composer(s): Shel Silverstein
    Performer(s): Shel Silverstein



    OK, now, years ago, I wrote a song called "A Boy Named Sue"
    And, that was OK and everything except, then I started to think about it, and I thought, it is unfair
    I am, I am looking at the whole thing from the poor kid's point of view
    And as I get more older and more fatherly, I begin to look at things from old men's point of view
    So, I decided to give the old man equal time
    OK, here we go...

    Yeah, I left home when the kid was three
    And it sure felt good to be fancy free
    Though I knew it wasn't quite the the fatherly thing to do
    But that kid kept screaming and throwing up
    And pissing in his pants till I had enough
    So just for revenge I went and named him Sue
    Yeah!

    It was Gatlinburg in mid July
    I was getting drunk but getting by
    Getting old and going from bad to worse

    When through the door with an awful scream
    Comes the ugliest queen I've ever seen
    He says, "My name is Sue, how do you do?"
    Then he hits me with his purse

    Now this ain't the way he tells the tell
    But he scratched my face with his fingernails
    And then he bit my thumb
    And kicked me with his high heel shoe

    So I hit him in the nose and he started to cry
    And he threw some perfume in my eye
    And it sure ain't easy fighting an old boy named Sue

    So I hit him in the head with a cane back chair
    And he screamed, "Hey dad, you mussed my hair!"
    And he hit me in the navel and knocked out a piece of my lint

    He was spitting blood, I was spitting teeth
    And we crashed through the wall and out into the street
    Kicking and gouging in the mud and the blood and the crème de menthe

    Then out of his garter he pulls a gun
    I'm about to get shot by my very own son
    He's screaming about Sigmund Freud and looking grim - woo
    So I though fast and I told him some stuff
    How I named him Sue just to make him tough
    And I guess he bought it 'cause now I'm living with him

    Yea he cooks and sews and cleans up the place
    He cuts my hair and shaves my face
    And irons my shirts better than a daughter could do
    And on the nights that I can't score
    Well, I can't tell you any more
    But it sure is a joy to have a boy named Sue
    Yeah a son is fun but it's a joy to have a boy named Sue!

    Food, Glorious Food
    Composer(s): Lionel Bart
    Performer(s): Tony Osborne Orch.;
    and various other artists



    Boys:
    Is it worth the waiting for?
    If we live 'til eighty four
    All we ever get is gru...el!
    Ev'ry day we say our prayer
    Will they change the bill of fare?
    Still we get the same old gru...el!
    There is not a cust, not a crumb can we find
    Can we beg, can we borrow, or cadge
    But there's nothing to stop us from getting a thrill
    When we all close our eyes and imag...ine

    Food, glorious food!
    Hot sausage and mustard!
    While we're in the mood
    Cold jelly and custard!
    Pease pudding and saveloys!
    What next is the question?
    Rich gentlemen have it, boys
    In-di-gestion!

    Food, glorious food!
    We're anxious to try it
    Three banquets a day
    Our favourite diet!

    Just picture a great big steak
    Fried, roasted or stewed
    Oh, food
    Wonderful food
    Marvellous food
    Glorious food

    Food, glorious food!
    What is ther emore handsome?
    Gulped, swallowed or chewed
    Still worth a kin's ransom
    What is it we dream about?
    Wat brings on a sigh?
    Piled pieahes and cream, about
    Six feet high!

    Food, glorious food!
    Eat right through the menu
    Just loosen your belt
    Two inches and then you
    Work up a new appetite
    In this interlude
    The food
    Once again, food
    Fabulous food
    Glorious food

    Food, glorious food!
    Don't care what it looks like
    Burned!
    Underdone!
    Crude!
    Don't care what the cook's like
    Just thinking of growing fat
    Our senses go reeling
    One moment of knowing that
    Full-up feeling!

    Food, glorious food!
    What wouldn't we give for
    That extra bit more
    That's all that we live for
    Why should we be fated to
    Do nothing but brood
    On food
    Magical food
    Wonderful food
    Marvellous food
    Fabulous food

    Oliver:
    Beautiful food

    Boys:
    Glorious food

    The Fatal Glass Of Beer
    Composer(s): Charlie Case
    Performer(s): W.C. Fields



    There was once a poor boy
    And he left his country home
    And he came to the city to look for work

    He promised his ma and pa
    He would lead a civilized life
    And always shun the fatal curse of drink

    Once in the city
    He got a situation in a quarry
    And there he made the acquaintance of some college students

    He little thought they were demons
    For they wore the best of clothes
    But the clothes do not always make the gentleman

    They tempted him to drink
    And they said he was a cow'rd
    And at last he took the fatal glass of beer

    When he'd found what he'd done
    He dashed the glass upon the floor
    And he staggered through the door with delerium tremens

    Once upon the sidewalk
    He met a Salvation Army girl
    And wickedly he broke her tambourine

    All she said was, "Heaven bless you"
    And placed a mark upon his brow
    With a kick she'd learned before she had been saved

    Now, as a moral to young men
    Who come down to the city
    Don't go 'round breaking people's tambourines

    Catchin' On Fast Composer(s): Bill Giant - Bernie Baum - Florence Kaye Performer(s): Elvis Presley



    Won't you show me how to kiss
    Put your lips on mine
    Do you do it just like this
    Tell me I'm doing fine
    We got a good thing going now take your time
    Come on and make it last
    Love may be new to you but
    Oooh, I'm catchin' on fast

    Give, give, gimme all you've got to give
    Love, love, love every moment you live
    Now you've taught me all you know
    Have I passed the test
    Show me all you've got to show
    Baby you're the best

    But tell me I've learned quickly and I know each trick
    I'm sure love's gonna last
    Love maybe new to you but
    Oooh I'm catchin' on fast

    Food For Thought
    Composer(s): UB40
    Performer(s): UB40; Stylus Junkies



    Ivory madonna dying in the dust
    Waiting for the manna coming from the west
    Barren is her bosom, empty as her eyes
    Death a certain harvest scattered from the skies

    Skin and bones is creeping, does`nt know he`s dead
    Ancient eyes are peeping, from his infant head
    Politician`s argue sharpening their knives
    Drawing up their Bargains, trading baby lives

    (Chorus)

    Ivory madonna dying in the dust
    Waiting for the manna coming from the west

    Hear the bells are ringing, Christmas on it`s way
    Hear the angels singing, what is that they say?
    Eat and drink rejoicing, joy is here to stay
    Jesus son of mary is born again today

    (Chorus)

    Ivory madonna dying in the dust
    Waiting for the manna coming from the west
    Ivory madonna dying in the dust
    Waiting for the manna coming from the west

    They call, they call me the fat man
    'Cause I weight two hundred pounds
    All the girls they love me
    'Cause I know my way around

    I was standing, I was standing on the corner
    Of Rampart and Canal
    I was watching, watching
    Watching those people gather

    Wah, wah, wah, wah, wah
    Wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah
    Wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah
    Wah, wah, wah

    I'm going, I'm going, going away
    And I'm going, going to stay
    'Cause we be in this fast life
    Can't stand this, going away
