Torn And Frayed Composer(s): Mick Jagger - Keith Richards First recording/First release: The Rolling Stones - 1971/1972 Covered by multiple other artists
Hey let him follow you down Way underground wind and he's bound Bound to follow you down Just a dead beat right off the street Bound to follow you down Well the ballrooms and smelly bordellos And dressing rooms filled with parasites On stage the band has got problems They're a bag of nerves on first nights He ain't tied down to no home town Yeah, and he thought he was wreckless You think he's bad, he thinks you're mad Yeah, and the guitar player gets restless
And his coat is torn and frayed It's seen much better days Just as long as the guitar plays Let it steal your heart away Let it steal your heart away
Joe's got a cough, sounds kind a rough Yeah, and the codeine to fix it Doctor prescribes, drug store supplies Who's gonna help him to kick it
Well his coat is torn and frayed It`s seen much better days Just as long as the guitar plays Let it steal your heart away Let it steal your heart away
I Left My Heart In San Francisco Composer(s): George C. Cory Jr.; Douglass Cross Performer(s): Tony Bennett - 1962 Covered by multiple other artists
The loveliness of Paris Seems somehow sadly gay The glory that was Rome Is of another day I've been terribly alone and forgotten in Manhattan I'm coming home to my city by the bay
I left my heart in San Francisco High on a hill, it calls to me To be where little cable cars Climb halfway to the stars! The morning fog may chill the air
I don't care
My love waits there in San Francisco Above the blue and windy sea When I come home to you, San Francisco Your golden sun will shine for me!
Junebug Composer(s): Kate Pierson; Fred Schneider; Keith Strickland; Cindy Wilson Performer(s): The B-52's

The mouth of the river is laughing at us, Junebug You know wh at I'm talking about Junebug, Junebug, Junebug, Junebug
On the wildest run in the wild kingdom She's the wildest thang to float down! Well there's snakes and snappers on cypress knees So come on down, I like to play in the water with you, Junebug Well don't you listen to what they say 'Cause we're a little different anyway Ain't it the truth!
Let's glide behind a wall of vegetation; no prying eyes on A love celebration! Let's glide behind that wall of vegetation I don't want no prying eyes when I give you a love sensation! The mouth of the river is laughing at us, Junebug, Junebug
Hey there Junebug, you sure look good danci ng in the mud... In the red mud! Mosquitoes and water moccasins, 'gators and crocodiles June's imagination really drives me wild!
Go Girl Go Girl Go Girl Go! Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa! Let's get in the mud, I think I'm in love! Junebug! Go Go Go Junebug Go Go Go Junebug!

I Left My Hat In Haiti Composer(s): Burton Lane; Alan Jay Lerner Performer(s): Fred Astaire and multiple other artists
I left my hat in Haiti In some forgotten flat in Haiti I couldn't tell you how I got there I only know it was so hot there
She took my hat politely And wound her arms around me tightly But I remember nothing clearly Except the flame when she came near me
Her eyes had the glow of surrender And her touch, it was tender And with someone as fiery as that You forget about your hat
So if you go to Haiti There is a girl I know in Haiti If you can find her you'll adore 'er Just look around 'til you've found Someone who has a blue-gray fedora
Her eyes had the glow of surrender And her touch, it was tender And with someone as fiery as that You forget about your hat
So if you go to Haiti There is a girl I know in Haiti If you can find her you'll adore 'er Just look around 'til you've found Someone who has a blue-gray fedora

Nettie: March went out like a lion A-wavin' up the weather in the bay Then April cried and stepped aside And lone came pretty little May! May was full of promises But she didn't keep it quick enough for some And the crowd up doubtin' of promises Was predictin' that the summer'd never come
Men: But the summer's by God We can feel it come You can feel it in your heart You can see it in the ground
Girls: You can see it in the trees You can smell it in the breeze
All: Look around! Look around! Look around!
Nettie: June is bustin' out all over The ladies and men are payin' court Lots of ships are keepin' anchor Just because the captain hanker For the comfort they can only get in port
Chorus: You can hear it comin'!

Nettie and Chorus: Because it's June... June, June, June Just because it's June, June, June!

What'll I do? What'll I do? I'm just as sad as can be Something awful happened to me What'll I do? What'll I do? I'm in a terrible plight Like a great big fool I did a very silly thing last night
I left my door open and my daddy walked out Without a doubt Worried am I, wondering why He never stopped to say Goodbye I can't live without my loving daddy about That's why I shout He must come back, I'll lose my mind A good man's mighty hard to find He must have some loving now and then Maybe that will bring him back again I'm gonna keep my door wide open till my daddy comes back
What'll I do? What'll I do? I'm in a terrible rage Like a bird, he flew from his cage Daddy of mine, send me a line Say that you'll come back to me When you do, I'll lock the door And try my best to lose the key
I left my door open and my daddy walked out Without a doubt Worried am I, wondering why He never stopped to say Goodbye I can't live without my loving daddy about That's why I shout He must come back, I'll lose my mind A good man's mighty hard to find A good man's mighty hard to find He must have some loving now and then Maybe that will bring him back again I'm gonna keep my door wide open till my daddy comes back Till my daddy comes back Gonna keep my door open till my daddy comes back
June In January Composer(s): Ralph Rainger; Leo Robin Performer(s): Bing Crosby; and various other artists
A clouded moon creeps across the clouded sky Winds of January sigh and moan And yet it's June I can see a sky of blue Dear the miracle is due to you Just you It's June in January Because I'm in love It always is spring in my heart with you in my arms The snow is just white blossoms that fall from above And here is the reason, my dear Your magical charms The night is cold The trees are bare But I can feel the scent of roses in the air It's June in January Because I'm in love But only because I'm in love with you
Oh the night is cold! Won't it be to bear? But I can feel the scent of roses in the air It's June in January Because I'm in love But only because I'm in love with you
Showed me pictures in the gallery
Showed me novels on the shelf
Put my hands across the table
Gave me knowledge of myself
Showed me visions, showed me nightmares
Gave me dreams that never end
Showed me light out of the tunnel
When there was darkness all around instead
Tore down a la Rimbaud
And I wish my message would come
Tore down a la Rimbaud, you know it's hard some time
you know it's hard some time
Showed me ways and means and motions
Showed me what it's like to be
Gave me days of deep devotions
Showed me things I cannot see
Tore down a la Rimbaud
And I wish my purpose would come
Tore down a la Rimbaud, you know it's hard some time
You know it's hard some time
Showed me different shapes and colours
Showed me many different roads
Gave me very clear instructions
When I was in the dark night of the soul
Tore down a la Rimbaud
And I wish my writing would come
Tore down a la Rimbaud, you know it's hard some time
you know it's hard some time
I Leave My Heart In An English Garden Composer(s): Harry Parr Davies; Christopher Hassall Performer(s): Edmund Hockridge; William Rayner
Breezes in the long grass ruffling my hair Hollyhock and bluebell scenting the air Nothing in the world can ever be Such a sweet memory Nothing in the world was ever so fair
I leave my heart in an English garden Safe where the elm and the oak stand by Though the years rise and roll away Still shall those watchmen stay Bold in the blue of an English sky
I leave my dreams in an English garden Safe where the breezes of England blow When the highways are dark and drear I know theres sunshine here Bright where the roses of England grow
I leave my heart in an English garden Safe where the elm and the oak stand by Though the years rise and roll away Still shall those watchmen stay Bold in the blue of an English sky
I leave my dreams in an English garden Safe where the breezes of England blow When the highways are dark and drear I know theres sunshine here Bright where the roses of England grow

Such a feelin's coming over me There is wonder in most ev'ry thing I see Not a cloud in the sky got the sun in my eyes And I -- won't be surprised if it's a dream

I'm on the -- top of the world lookin' down on creation and the only explanation I can find Is the love that I've found, ever since you've been around Your love's put me at the top of the world
Something is the wind has learned my name and it's tellin' me that things are not the same In the leaves on the trees And the touch of the breeze, there's a pleasin' sense of happiness for me
There is only one wish on my mind When this day is through I hope that I will find That tomorrow will be just the same for you and me All I need -- will be mine if you are here
I'm on the -- top of the world lookin' down on creation and the only explanation I can find Is the love that I've found, ever since you've been around Your love's put me at the top of the world

Ik heb vandaag zo'n wonderlijk gevoel Slechts verliefden weten echt wat ik bedoel Helder blauw is de lucht en ik straal van geluk Want mijn leven heeft nu eindelijk een doel
Al m'n lege dagen zijn voorbij En de zon schijnt dag en nacht alleen voor mij Tot in 't diepst van mijn hart, dat op jou heeft gewacht En nu dat je hier bent, voel ik me zo blij
'k Zit op het dak van de wereld en ik kijk naar beneden Waar er niets of niemand mij nog raken kan 'k Zit nooit meer aan de grond, sinds de dag dat ik je vond Zit ik heerlijk op het dak van de wereld
Alles wat ik droomde is gebeurd En 't is net of alles zich daarom verheugd Elke bloem, ieder blad lijkt zo glanzend en glad En de toekomst heeft ee nieuwe roze kleur Er is nog een ding dat ik vraag Dat je morgen van me houdt zoals vandaag Als je voor eeuweig lang dicht bij mij blijven kan Is er echt niets anders meer dat ik verlang
'k Zit op het dak van de wereld en ik kijk naar beneden Waar er niets of niemand mij nog raken kan 'k Zit nooit meer aan de grond, sinds de dag dat ik je vond Zit ik heerlijk op het dak van de wereld

Just as sure as the bird fly in the sky above Just as sure as the bird fly in the sky above Life aint worth living if you aint with the man you love
The suns gonna shine in my back door some day The suns gonna shine in my back door some day The winds gonna rise and blow my blues away
To love you baby, its easy as falling off a log To love you baby, its easy as falling off a log Wanna be your baby but I sure wont be your dog
