Living At The Canterbury Composer(s): Wiedlin Performer(s): The Go-Go's
Okay living in the city Whores outside a-posing Traffic noise a lullaby Skyscapers better than the blue skies We can do what we want We can say what we please We can be who we want Being poor's okay by me Proud I don't have no TV
Living at the Canterbury (My friends think I'm a fool) Living at the Canterbury I guess it's pretty cool
Living at the Canterbury Fighting off the roaches Like being in a dormitory Till rental due approaches (Don't know where we'll get the cash) Spent it all on booze I'm no fool with credit cards It's better not to think Sometimes little I like to think!

When our kisses fly like oak leaves Caught in a gust of wind My heart beats fast, a clickty-clack Like a train goin' round a bend I call that Lovin' Up a Storm! I said that's Lovin Up a Storm!

Living A Lie Composer(s): Peter DeAngelis - Jean Sawyer Performer(s): Al Martino
Why cry when she tells you she's leaving? A teardrop or two won't keep her loving you Be grateful she's gone, no more to lead you on Only fools want to try living a li-i-i-ie
You can't change her mind with your grievin' It's wrong to pretend, let it end This first love may die but you've still got time, give it one more try And that's better than living a lie
Be grateful she's gone, no more to lead you on Only fools want to try living a li-i-i-ie
This first love may die but you've still got time, give it one more try And that's better than living a lie And that's better than livin' a lie
Living Composer(s): Alice Cooper Performer(s): Alice Cooper
Living is only one part of being Believing is to know just what your feeling You weren't supposed to think you know You heard I'm sure you knowing your growing and it's you Thinking is your own world of living Dreaming is the one way to feeling Yopu wind and your eye can see everything that you The only real person you need to know is you

I live on the West side she lives on the East side of the stree-ee-eet And though they say that East is East and West is West And never the twain shall meet Each morning I face her window and pray that our love can be 'cause that brownstone house where my baby lives Is Mecca (Mecca, Mecca, Mecca) Mecca (Mecca, Mecca) to me-e-e-e-e-e
Oh she's my dream goddess and her ruby lips are so div-i-ine And though her folks say we're too young to know of love I worship at her shrine Each morning I face her window and pray that our love can be 'cause that brownstone house where my baby lives Is Mecca (Mecca, Mecca, Mecca) Mecca (Mecca, Mecca) to me-e-e-e-e-e

Livin' Without You Composer(s): David Cassidy - Rick Neigher - Sue Shifrin Performer(s): David Cassidy
Swore I would find you if it takes me forever God only knows it might take that long Keep walkin' down these empty sidewalks Thinkin' I see you but I'm always wrong Since you've been gone baby nothin's gone right When you kissed me goodbye it was the kiss of death Ever since you left There's no livin' without you I've tried But I'm not livin' without you As long as I'm alive I'm not livin' without you You sent me off to this lonely prison I serve my sentence all alone You wanted blood - that's what you're gettin' Pay with my life every day you're gone I'd die for a chance just to hold you again I'd give anything to taste your kiss of life Don't let a good thing die There's no livin' without you I've tried But I'm not livin' without you As long as I'm alive I'm not livin' without you Baby you could save me Come back to me and then You could help me Through this long night Breathe life into me again There's no livin' without you I've tried But I'm not livin' without you As long as I'm alive I'm not livin' without you

Livin' Thing Composer(s): Jeff Lynne First release by: Electric Light Orchestra - 1976 Covered by multiple other artists
Sailin' away on the crest of a wave It's like magic Rollin' and ridin' and slippin' & slidin' It's magic
And you, and your sweet desire You took me, higher and higher It's a livin' thing It's a terrible thing to lose It's a given thing What a terrible thing to lose
Making believe this is what you've conceived From your worst day, Moving in line when you look back in time To your first day
And you, and your sweet desire You took me, higher and higher It's a livin' thing It's a terrible thing to lose It's a given thing What a terrible thing to lose
Takin' a dive 'cos you can't halt the slide Floating downstream, So let her go don't start spoiling the show It's a bad dream
And you, and your sweet desire You took me, higher and higher It's a livin' thing It's a terrible thing to lose It's a given thing What a terrible thing to lose
Meat Balls Composer(s): Lil Johnson Performer(s): Lil Johnson; Dana Gillespie
Got out late last night, in the rain and sleet Tryin' to find a butcher that grind my meat Yes I'm lookin' for a butcher He must be long and tall If he want to grind my meat 'Cause I'm wild about my meat balls
A no good man but he's so doggone stout Before he starts to grindin' he's all worn out Somebody send me a butcher He must be long and tall If he want to grind my meat 'Cause I'm wild about my meat balls
He can clean my fish, even pick my crabs But what I need is my meat ground bad Yes I'm lookin' for a butcher He must be long and tall If he want to grind my meat 'Cause I'm wild about my meat balls
You can have your roast chicken and your good lamb stew But for my choice them old meat balls will do Somebody send me a butcher He must be long and tall If he want to grind my meat 'Cause I'm wild about my meat balls
Now look here papa, don't try to stall If you can't grind a long time, don't grind at all Yes I'm lookin' for a butcher He must be long and tall If he want to grind my meat 'Cause I'm wild about my meat balls
All Of It Composer(s): Garry Ó Briain Performer(s): Skylark and multiple other artists
Oh, dear, what's the matter, they're rowin' and squabblin' There seems to be something awry For the last forty nights they've been having a fight And we always can hear the same cry
Give me all of it, all of it, not just a bit of it None of your quarters, your thirds or your halves For the long and the tall, and the rise and the fall of it All of it, all of it, all
The Priest at the altar was noticed to falter And he seemed to be weak at the knees When the Deacon poured drops of red wine from his cups We could make out his virtuous pleas
Give me all of it, all of it, not just a bit of it None of your quarters, your thirds or your halves For the long and the tall, and the rise and the fall of it All of it, all of it, all
The fiddler was playin' below in the kitchen In the wee after hours that are best When he left out a beat in the turn of the reel And the dancers all stopped to request
Give me all of it, all of it, not just a bit of it None of your quarters, your thirds or your halves For the long and the tall, and the rise and the fall of it All of it, all of it, all
The barman was spilling, and wiping and spilling And the drinkers discussed this and that When his thumb in the measure he aroused their displeasure And he brought this response from one pat
Give me all of it, all of it, not just a bit of it None of your quarters, your thirds or your halves For the long and the tall, and the rise and the fall of it All of it, all of it, all
Now I've not the gumption nor hard neck to finish This song's nothing less than obscene But I trust your good taste, and I know you won't waste Yours and my precious time if you scream
Give me all of it, all of it, not just a bit of it None of your quarters, your thirds or your halves For the long and the tall, and the rise and the fall of it All of it, all of it, all
Livin' Lovin' Doll Composer(s): Jim Gustard - Johnny May First recording/First release by: Cliff Richard & The Drifters - 1958/1959
You drive me crazy when we're bopping at the hop You squeeze me tight, my heart goes flippity-flop Your brand of kisses drives me right up the wall Oh oh oh, you livin' lovin' doll You treat me mean and nasty, don't come when I call Oh oh oh, you livin' lovin' doll, well ...
All of a sudden when your lips knocked me out Your eager arms taught me what love's all about I need you summer winter springtime and fall Oh oh oh, you livin' lovin' doll You treat me mean and nasty, don't come when I call Oh oh oh, you livin' lovin' doll

Mama Composer(s): Mark Charron Performer(s): B.J. Thomas
Who's the one who tied your shoe when you were young And knew just when to come and see what you had done? Mama, oh Mama And who's the one who patched your eye and told you not to cry 'cause he was too big for you to try? Mama, Ma-a-ma
And who's the one you didn't need to plead To give her time to the Little League? It was Mama, oh, ma-a-a-ma-a-a And who's the one who gave her shoulder When you told her your first love was over she'd met someone older Mama, Mama
It was Mama, my ma-a-a-ma-a-a
Ma-a-ma, oh ma-a-ma
Who's the one who taught you obligation then dedication result graduation? Mama, Mama And who's the one who's shown the friends you've known A home away from home when they were tired and all alone? Mama, Mama
And who's the one who held a tear inside When you introduced your future bride? And who's the one who didn't mean to cry As you walked down the aisle, the tears you saw her smile Mama, oh, Mama Ma-a-m-a-a, my Ma-a-ma-a It was Ma-a-m-a-a
Liverpool Town Composer(s): Stan Kelly - Leon Rosselson Performer(s): Liverpool Town
Oh I wish I was back in Liverpool Liverpool town where I was born Where there ain't no trees, no scented breeze No fields of waving corn Where there's lots of girls with peroxide curls And the black and tan flows free Where there's six in a bed by the old pier head And it's Liverpool town for me
Now t'is seven long years since I've wandered away To sail the wide sea over I took me a trip on an old steamship That was bound for Baltimore I was seven days sick, I just could not stick That bobbing up and down And I told him, Jack, you'd better turn back For dear old Liverpool town
Now there's every race and color of face There's every kind of name But the pigeons on the pier head Sure they treat you all the same If you walk on down Parliament Street You'll see faces black and brown And I've also seen them orange and green In dear old Liverpool town
