Looking For Eden Composer(s): Ian Anderson Performer(s): Ian Anderson
As I drove down the road to look for Eden saw two young girls but left them standing there They were too late to get home on the underground and probably too drunk, too drunk to care
Can anyone tell me the way to Eden? I'll ask them there, have they a job for me I'm not a fussy man, I can weed and hoe I'll be her Adam, she can be my Eve
And where on earth are all those songs of Eden The fairy tales, the shepherds and wise men Just one old dosser lurching down Oxford Street to spend his Christmas lying in the rain
Don't anybody know the way to Eden I'm tired of living my life in free-fall They say it's somewhere out on the edge of town Perhaps it isn't really there at all
Ah OwoooOwooo yea Soul heaven, Soul Heaven Had a dream last night Soul heaven, Soul Heaven
Last night I dreamed I was in a concert So many people you had to stand in line One night only in Soul Heaven I didn't want to wake up I was having such a good time
All of the Bar-keys were tuning up on stage Jimi had his guitar getting ready to play Sam was singing A Change Gonna Come Otis was there Sitting On The Dock Of The Bay
There was a party in Soul Heaven Superstars from the past Standing room only so you better hurry Buy your ticket, cause there going fast
Twenty Miles took a mean soul Junior Walker had them dancing in the aisles (Shoot`em Before They Run Now) They stood up when Jackie sang Lonely Teardrops When Sammy danced the crowd went wild (Mr. Bojangles)
I thought I saw Ella standing with Mahalia Backstage was Elvis with his Blue Suede Shoes It started raining everybody just stayed there To hear Z.Z. sing about home blues
Well now, there's a party Soul Heaven In Soul Heaven Soul Heaven Superstars from the past Soul Heaven Standing room only Soul Heaven so you better hurry Soul Heaven Buy your ticket, Soul Heaven Cause there going fast
There's a party in Soul Heaven Superstars from the past
The Great Alan Jackson was a holding down the beat When Marvin sang Let's Get It On They jumped to their feet Everybody start screaming they were standing on patience When the curtain come up the mighty Temptations King Curtis Blue Soul Serenade Thought I saw Lady Day sitting in the shade I Got Two Lovers And I Ain't Ashamed Lord I love the way sweet Mary sang
It was getting kinda late, it was time to go Two o'clock in bed they closed the show I didn't want to wake up I was havin' such a good time Ahhhh I didn't want to wake up I was havin' a good time
Pearl Baily Soul Heaven She was there Soul Heaven Duke and Count Soul Heaven They were there Soul Heaven Donny Hathaway Soul Heaven I saw him there Soul Heaven And Satchmo Soul Heaven I saw him there Soul Heaven It was a party Soul Heaven In Soul Heaven Soul Heaven Oh, you should've been there Soul Heaven I know you should've been there Soul Heaven Yeah Everybody was havin' such a good time Soul Heaven OwooOwoo yeah

Lookin' For A Reason Composer(s): John C. Fogerty Performer(s): Creedence Clearwater Revival
I'm looking for a reason to stay I'm all wound up and tied in knots today I'm looking for a reason not to go When the morning comes, I'll be on my way
Every night I ask myself again Just what it was that made our dream begin It seemed like a good idea way back then But I'm wondering now what daydream took me in
I'm looking for a reason to stay I'm all wound up and tied in knots today I'm looking for a reason not to go When the morning comes, I'll be on my way
Yesterday I tried once more to find A way to share the trouble on my mind It seems like you turn away every time I used to like it here, I can't remember why

Through The Eyes Of Love Composer(s): Marvin Hamlisch - Carole Bayer Sager
First release by: Melissa Manchester - 1979
Covered by multiple other artists
Please, don't let this feeling end
It's ev'rything I am
Ev'rything I wanna be
I can see what's mine now
Finding out what's true
Since I found you
Lookin' through the eyes of love
Now I can take the time
I can see my life
As it comes up shining now
Reaching out to touch you
I can feel so much
Since I found you
Lookin' through the eyes of love
And now I do believe
That even in a storm, we'll find some light
Knowing you're beside me
I'm alright
Please, don't let this feelin' end
It might not come again
And I want to remember
How it feels to touch you
How I feel so much
Since I found you
Lookin' through the eyes of love
And now I do believe
That even in a storm, we'll find some light
Knowing you're beside me
I'm alright
Now I can take the time
I can see my life
As it comes up shining now
Reaching out to touch you
I can feel so much
Since I've found you
Lookin' through the eyes of love
Looking For A Lady Composer(s): Dan Fogelberg Performer(s): Dan Fogelberg; Blake C; Lil' Cease
Looking for a lady I'm looking for a lady To change my night to day Looking for a lady I'm looking for a lady To chase my blues away
Well, I have a few in mind but none in particular I have had them before but nothing that was for sure And I'm in no position to barter And I'm in no condition to play the martyr And I'm sadder certainly but I'm smarter And I find myself
Looking for a lady I'm looking for a lady To share my empty bed Looking for a lady I'm looking for a lady To soothe my aching head
And my feelings have grown rigid like a wooden post And my love is like a curtain that has been drawn closed And my life just isn't going the way I thought it was supposed to And I'm crying and I find myself
Looking for a lady I'm looking for a lady To change my night to day
Soul Kitchen Composer(s): Jim Morrison - John Densmore - Robby Krieger - Ray Manzarek First release by: The Doors - 1967 Covered by multiple other artists
Well, the clock says it's time to close - now I guess I'd better go - now; I'd really like to stay here all - night The cars crawl past all stuffed with eyes street lights shed their hollow glow your brain seems bruised with numb surprise Still one place to go still one place to go
Let me sleep all night in your soul kitchen warm my mind near your gentle stove Turn me out and I'll wander, baby stumbling in the neon groves
Your fingers weave quick mi-na-rets speaking in secret al-pha-bets I light another ci-ga-rette learn to forget learn to forget learn to forget learn to forget
Let me sleep all night in your soul kitchen warm my mind near your gentle stove Turn me out and stumbling in the neon groves
Well the clock says it's time to close - now I know I'll have to go now I really want to stay here all night All - night All night
Lookin' Out My Back Door Composer(s): John Fogerty Performer(s): Creedence Clearwater Revival; Euro Grass; The Traveling Band
Just got home from Illinois, lock the front door, oh boy! Got to sit down, take a rest on the porch Imagination sets in, pretty soon I'm singin'
Doo, doo, doo, lookin' out my back door
There's a giant doing cartwheels, a statue wearin' high heels Look at all the happy creatures dancing on the lawn A dinosaur Victrola list'ning to Buck Owens
Doo, doo, doo, lookin' out my back door
Tambourines and elephants are playing in the band Won't you take a ride on the flyin' spoon? Doo, doo, doo Wondrous apparition provided by a magician
Doo, doo, doo, lookin' out my back door
Tambourines and elephants are playing in the band Won't you take a ride on the flyin' spoon? Doo, doo, doo Bother me tommorrow, today I'll buy no sorrows
Doo, doo, doo lookin' out my back door
Forward troubles Illinois, lock the front door, oh boy! Look at all the happy creatures dancing on the lawn Bother me tommorrow, today, I'll buy no sorrows
Looking Back To See Composer(s): Jim Ed Brown - Maxine Brown First recording/First release by: Jim Edward Brown & Maxine Brown - 1954 Covered by multiple other artists
I was looking back to see if you were looking back to see If I was looking back to see if you were looking back at me You were cute as you could be standing looking back at me And it was plain to see that I'd enjoy your company
One Sunday afternoon as I was ridin' down the street I met a cute little girl all dressed up so neat And the way that she was stacked I wish I'd've had a Cadillac For who would notice me just drivin' this model T
I was looking back to see if you were looking back to see If I was looking back to see if you were looking back at me You were cute as you could be standing looking back at me And it was plain to see that I'd enjoy your company
Now listen baby it don't matter to me Even in your model T you're as cute as you can be If you'll take me for a ride I will set close by your side And I will guarantee that we'll have fun on man alive
I was looking back to see if you were looking back to see If I was looking back to see if you were looking back at me You were cute as you could be standing looking back at me And it was plain to see that I'd enjoy your company
Oh gee oh me perhaps you'd notice me If I wadn't drivin' this model T
I was looking back to see if you were looking back to see If I was looking back to see if you were looking back at me You were cute as you could be standing looking back at me And it was plain to see that I'd enjoy your company
Making Your Mind Up Composer(s): John Danter - Andy Hill First release by: Bucks Fizz - 1981
You gotta speed it up And then you gotta slow it down 'Cause if you believe that our love can hit the top You gotta play around But soon you will find that there comes a time For making your mind up
You gotta turn it on And then you gotta put it out You gotta be sure that it's something Everybody's gonna talk about Before you decide that the time's arrived For making your mind up
Don't let your indecision Take you from behind Trust your inner vision Don't let others change your mind
And now you really gotta burn it up And make another fly by night Get a run for your money And take a chance and it'll turn out right But when you can see how it's gotta be You're making your mind up
And try to look as if you don't care less But if you wanna see some more Bending the rules of the game Will let you find the one you're looking for And then you can show that you think you know You're making your mind up
Don't let your indecision Take you from behind Trust your inner vision Don't let others change your mind
And now you really gotta speed it up And then you gotta slow it down 'Cause if you believe that our love can hit the top You gotta play around But soon you will find that there comes a time For making your mind up
And now you really gotta speed it up And then you gotta slow it down 'Cause if you believe that our love can hit the top You gotta play around But soon you will find that there comes a time For making your mind up For making your mind up For making your mind up For making your mind up
You Don't Need A License For That Composer(s): Fred E. Cliffe - George Formby Performer(s): George Formby
If you've a pub or a small hotel You need a license for all you sell! Huh, you may think I'm romancin' But they even tax you for singin' and dancin'!
You need a license, whatever you do One or two things they've exempted, it's true Lumbago, the gout, or a touch o' the 'flu You don't need a license for that!
Now I've got a license for chickens to lay One of them sat on a brick yesterday And then started cluckin', as much as to say "He-he! You won't need a license for that!"
We've had a good time A "wines in the wood" time if it were duty free We'd cut the taxes With our battleaxes Then roll out the barrel for me!
There is much license, you bet on your life If you keep a cow, then there's trouble and strife! As farmer Dean said when he looked at his wife "By gum, I'll not need a license for that!"
You need a license for shootin' down game But I'd rather flirt with a beautiful dame 'Cause I get the sport with the birds just the same And I don't need a license for that!
We sit in the pictures, as warm as a glove In the back row of the circle above Two bobs' worth of dark and a basin of love And I don't need a license for that!
We've had a good time A "wines in the wood" time if it were duty free We'd cut the taxes With our battleaxes Then roll out the barrel for me!
Fishing at Richmond is licensed by law A chap to his girl said, "Now you hold your jaw! He-he! You know exactly what I'm fishing for And I don't need a license for that, no sir! And I don't need a license for that!
