The Diamantina Drover
The Diamantina Drover
Composer(s): Hugh MacDonald
Performer(s): John Williamson
and multiple other artists
The faces in the photograph have faded
And I can't believe he looks so much like me
For it's been ten years today
Since I left for Old Cork Station
Sayin' I won't be back till the drovin's done
For the rain never falls on the dusty Diamantina
And a drover finds it hard to change his mind
For the years have surely gone
Like the drays from Old Cork Sta-ation
And I won't be back till the drovin's done
Well it seems like the sun comes up each mornin'
Sets me up and takes it all away
For the dreaming by the light
Of the camp fire at ni-ight
Ends with the burning by the day
For the rain never falls on the dusty Diamantina
And a drover finds it hard to change his mind
For the years have surely gone
Like the drays from Old Cork Sta-ation
And I won't be back till the drovin's done
Sometimes I think I'll settle back in Sydney
But it's been so long it's hard to change my mind
For the cattle trail goes on and on
And the fences roll forever
And I won't be back till the drovin's done
For the rain never falls on the dusty Diamantina
And a drover finds it hard to change his mind
For the years have surely gone
Like the drays from Old Cork Sta-ation
And I won't be back till the drovin's done
For the rain never falls on the dusty Diamantina
And a drover finds it hard to change his mind
For the years have surely gone
Like the drays from Old Cork Station
And I won't be back till the drovin's done

Carousel
Carousel
Composer(s): James - Ray Thomas
Performer(s): Ray Thomas
The world's like a big carousel
turning in space with the whole human race hanging on
but the sounds that are played on that penny arcade
turn me on
Then I need a little romance
if you play me that song
then you'll get me to dance
I can dance
sing me a slow song and maybe then I'll take a chance
For there's something in the air
and it's turning spinning
seems like I float everywhere
For there's something in the air
and it's turning spinning
seems like I float everywhere
Oh I need some loving tonight
someone to hold me and make me feel alright tonight
and I can't explain why the whole human race
wants to fight
For the world is a beautiful place
so small but it's all that we have to stand on
you and I
so won't you join me on my carousel in the sky
For there's something in the air
and it's turning spinning
seems like I float everywhere

Flamingos Fly
Flamingos Fly
Composer(s): Van Morrison
Performer(s): Van Morrison; Sammy Hagar
Go for a ride
In the still of the night
And morning brings forth
All this wonderful delight
Couldn't have made it more plain
When I heard that soft refrain
And I heard you gently sigh
Wanna take you where flamingos fly, flamingos fly
Way over yonder in the clear blue sky
That's where flamingos fly
Lie in the dark
With the sound of the nightingale
Listen for a lark
I will tell you a tale
Breeze is blowin', blowin' outside
Wanna take that moonlight ride
When I hear you gently sigh
Wanna take you where flamingos fly, flamingos fly
Way over yonder in the clear blue sky
That's where flamingos fly
Well we're here and we're waiting
For that morning light to shine
And I'm looking at you looking at me looking right back at you
And I'm anticipating
Sounds along the way
Looking at you looking at me looking right back at you, hey
I'll follow the road
That will take me, take me right back home
And carry that load
Where the deer and the provincial angels roam
Happiness touches, touches me now
I know where it came from and how
When I hear you gently sigh
Wanna take you where flamingos fly, flamingos fly
Way over yonder in the clear blue sky
That's where flamingos fly, flamingos fly
Way over the rooftops of the houses
I heard it one time, I heard it one time in a lullaby
I heard it one time, I heard it one time in a lullaby
Somewhere, somewhere, somewhere way over the rooftops of the houses
Heard it one time in a lullaby
Heard it one time, heard it one time in a lullaby

The Devil Went Down To Georgia
The Devil Went Down To Georgia
Composer(s): Charlie Daniels - Charles Hayward - Tom Crain - Fred Edwards - Taz DiGregorio - James Marshall
First release by: The Charlie Daniels Band - 1979
Covered by multiple other artists
The devil went down to Georgia
He was looking for a soul to steal
He was in a bind
'Cause he was way behind
And he was willing to make a deal
When he came upon this young man
Sawing on a fiddle and plain' it hot
And the devil jumped
Up on a hickory stump
And said boy let me tell you what
Now you play a pretty good fiddle, boy
But give the devil his due
I'll bet a fiddle of gold
Against your soul
'Cause I think I'm better than you
The boy said my name's Johnny
And it might be a sin
But I'll take your bet
And you're gonna regret
'Cause I'm the best there's ever been
The devil opened up his case
And he said I'll start this show
And fire flew from his fingertips
As he rosined up his bow
Then he pulled the bow across the strings
And it made a [sic] evil hiss
And a band of demons joined in
And it sounded something like this
When the devil finished
Johnny said well you're pretty good old son
Just sit right in that chair right there
And let me show you how it's done
He played Fire on the Mountain
Run boys, run
The devil's in the House of the Rising Sun
Chicken in a bread pan picking out dough
Granny does your dog bite
No child, no
The devil bowed his head
Because he knew that he'd been beat
And he laid that golden fiddle
On the ground and Johnny's feet
Johnny said, Devil just come on back
If you ever want to try again
I done told you once you son of a bitch
I'm the best there's ever been
And he played Fire on the Mountain
Run boys, run
The devil's in the House of the Rising Sun
Chicken in a bread pan picking out dough
Granny does your dog bite
No child, no

Caroline, No
Composer(s): Tony Asher - Brian Wilson
First recording/First release by: Brian Wilson - 1966
Covered by multiple other artists
Where did your long hair go
Where is the girl I used to know
How could you lose that happy glow
Oh, Caroline no
Who took that look away
I remember how you used to say
You'd never change, but that's not true
Oh, Caroline you
Break my heart
I want to go and cry
It's so sad to watch a sweet thing die
Oh, Caroline why
Could I ever find in you again
Things that made me love you so much then
Could we ever bring 'em back once they have gone
Oh, Caroline no

Flamingo

Performer(s): Duke Ellington;
and various other artists
Flamingo, like a flame in the sky
Flying over the island
To my lover nearby
Flamingo, with your tropical hue
For it's you I rely on
And the love that is true
The wind sings a song to you as you go
The song that I hear below
The murmuring heart
Flamingo, when the sun meets the sea
Say farewell to my lover
And hasten to me
Aah-ooh, aah-ooh, ooh-ooh
Flamingo....
Flamingo....
Flamingo, when the sun meets the sea
Say farewell to my lover
And hasten to me
Aah-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-aah

Daisey, where are you growin'?
Are you sowin' some new seed?
Daisey, I can feel you growin' on me

And if you're willin' to take time, Daisey
You can show me the way, girl
'Cause I know if we make time, Daisey
Every month would be like May
Aaah aaah aaah aaah
Aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah

And if you're willin; to take time, Daisey
You know you might wanna stay, girl

No need for thumbin' a new ride
Daisey
We can get it on if we try
We can get it on if we try
We can get it on if we try...

Caroline, Caroline
Caroline, Caroline
Composer(s): Louis Benech - Vincent Scotto
Performer(s): André Bourvil; Mireille Ponsard
Voilà huit heures qui sonnent, c'est dimanche coco
Déjà l'soleil rayonne à travers les rideaux
J'ai touché ma quinzaine, si tu le veux tantôt
Nous irons à Vincennes, dîner au bord de l'eau
Vite en bas du lit, passe moi mes habits
Et jetons du jus dans Paris
Caroline, Caroline, mets tes p'tits souliers vernis
Ta robe blanche des dimanches
Et ton grand chapeau fleuri
Caroline, Caroline, t'arrêt' pas comm' ça en ch'min
Marche plus vite, ma petite
Tu vas nous fair' rater l'train
Installons-nous ma chère sur le bord du talus
Mets un journal par terre, on va manger là-d'ssus
Pourquoi qu'tu fais la tête, tu n'as qu'à faire comme moi
Quand on n'a pas d'fourchettes, on mange avec les doigts
T'as fini déjà, ah! quel estomac
Où qu't'as donc fourré tout ça?
Caroline, Caroline, on a tout d'même bien dîné
Plus personne, viens mignonne
C'est l'moment d'aller s'prom'ner
Caroline, Caroline, les p'tits oiseaux font cui-cui
Sur la mousse, fraîche et douce
Moi j'le ferais bien aussi
Mais là-bas il y a la fête, j'entends l'accordéon
Prépare tes gambettes, on va faire un boston
J'cède à tous tes caprices, j'te paie un mirliton
Un cochon d'pain d'épice, ous' qu'il y a mon nom
Tu le mangeras
Quand j'serai pas là
Ça t'fera penser à moi
Caroline, Caroline, relév' ta jupe en dansant
Aie d'l'allure, va en mesure
On s'croirait chez l'Président
Caroline, Caroline, qu'est c'qu'ils ont à nous r'garder
Tu m'fais honte, allons, r'monte
Ton pantalon qu'est tombé
C'est pas d'chance, ma poulette, voilà qu'il tombe de l'eau
Mets ta jupe sur ta tête pour garer ton chapeau
Moi j'te suis par derrière, ta ch'mise dépasse un peu
Mais, grâce à ta bannière, j'te perdrai pas des yeux
Nous v'là arrivés
C'qu'on est éreinté
C'est pas trop tôt d'se reposer
Caroline, Caroline
Ah! c'qu'on est bien dans son lit
Tu soupires, tu veux rire
Ça c'est pas pour aujourd'hui
Caroline, Caroline, veux-tu bien r'tirer ta main
Pas d'tapage, si t'es sage
Ça s'ra pour dimanche prochain

Flaming Star
Composer(s): Sid Wayne; Sherman Edwards
Performer(s): Elvis Presley; The Headliners
Ev'ry man has a flaming star
A flaming star over his shoulder
And when a man sees his flaming star
He knows his time, his time has come
Flaming star, don't shine on me, flaming star
Flaming star, keep behind me, flaming star
There's a lot o' livin' I got to do
Give me time to make a few dreams come true
Flaming star (Flaming star)
When I ride, I feel that flaming star
That flaming star over my shoulder
And so I ride, front of that flaming star
Never lookin' around, never lookin' around
Flaming star, don't shine on me, flaming star
Flaming star, keep behind me, flaming star
There's a lot o' livin' I gotta do
Give me time to make a few dreams come true
Flaming star (Flaming star)
One fine day, I'll see that flaming star
That flaming star over my shoulder
And when I see that old flaming star
I'll know my time, my time has come
Flaming star, don't shine on me, flaming star
Flaming star, keep behind me, flaming star
There's a lot o' livin' I gotta do
Give me time to make a few dreams come true

The Desert Song
Composer(s): Sigmund Romberg - Otto Harbach - Oscar Hammerstein II
Performer(s): Mario Lanza with Judith Raskin
and multiple other artists
Why spend your time in vague romancing
When life itself is at your call
I come to you my heart advancing
O come with me and you will be my all
You turn away and yet you tremble
My little bird has wings it seems
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
My desert is waiting
Dear, come there with me
I'm longing to teach you
Love's sweet melody
I'll sing a dream-song to you
Painting a picture for two
Blue heaven and you and I
And sand kissing a moonlit sky
A desert breeze whisp'ring a lullaby
Only stars above you
To see I love you
Oh, give me that night divine
And let my arms in yours entwine
The desert song calling
Its voice enthralling
Will make you mine

There is a girl
She really is fine, so fine
I know one day
She's gonna be mine, be mine
She is so fine
I'll make her mine
Her name is Caroline, Carol-i-yi-yi-yine
Caroline, Carol-i-yi-yi-yine
She is the fairest of them all
And I'll come runnin' when she calls
She is the girl
The girl of my dreams, my dreams
She's on my mind
Forever it seems, it seems
We'll hope forever
We'll dream together
Just me and Caroline, Carol-i-yi-yi-yine
Caroline, Carol-i-yi-yi-yine ...

Flaming
Flaming
Composer(s): Syd Barrett
Performer(s): Pink Floyd; Pentagram
Alone in the clouds all blue
Lying on an eiderdown
Yippee! You can't see me
But I can you
Lazing in the foggy dew
Sitting on a unicorn
No fair, you can't hear me
But I can you
Watching buttercups cup the light
Sleeping on a dandelion
Too much, I won't touch you
But then I might
Screaming through the starlit sky
Travelling by telephone
Hey ho, here we go
Ever so high
Alone in the clouds all blue
Lying on an eiderdown
Yippee! You can't see me
But I can you

The Deepest Shelter In Town
The Deepest Shelter In Town
Composer(s): Jones
Performer(s): Florence Desmond
Don't run away mister
Oh, stay and play mister
Don't worry if you hear the sirens go
Though I'm not a lady of the highest virtue
I wouldn't dream of letting anything hurt you
And so before you go, I think you ought to know
I've got a cosy flat, there's a lace for your hat
I wear a pink chiffon négligé gown
And do I know my stuff, but if that's not enough
I've got the deepest shelter in town
I've got a room for two, a radio that's new
An alarm clock that won't let you down
And I've got central heat, but to make it complete
I've got the deepest shelter in town
Every modern comfort I can just guarantee
If you hear the siren call then it's probably me
And, sweetie, to revert, I'll keep you on the alert
I won't even be wearing a frown
So you can hang around here until the all clear
In the deepest shelter in town
Now honey, I don't sing of an Anderson thing
Climbing in one you look like a clown
But if you came here to see, why Sir John would agree
I've got the deepest shelter in town
Now Mr. Morrison says he's getting things done
And he's a man of the greatest renown
But before it gets wrecked, I hope you'll come and inspect
The deepest shelter in town
Now I was one of the first to clear my attic of junk
But when it comes to shelters nowadays it's all bunk
So honey, don't get scared, it's there to be shared
And you'll feel like a king with a crown
So please don't be mean, better men than you have been
In the deepest shelter
The neatest shelter
The deepest shelter in town

Caroline (Charles Aznavour)
Caroline
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
Dans le tumulte infernal
D'un gigantesque bal
De 14 juillet
Ton cœur fit à sa façon
Une révolution
Mais seul ton corps dansait
La carmagnole
Tu acceptais ton destin
Mais gardais néanmoins
Malgré tes airs frivoles
Ton cœur pour l'homme de ta vie
Caroline chérie
Dans l'immense tourbillon
Quand l'enfer des passions
Enflammait les esprits
Toi tout simplement armée
De ta seule beauté
Tu as su à tout prix
Garder ta tête
En faisant des concessions
Car l'âme a ses raisons
Que la raison rejette
L'amour vaut bien quelques folies
Caroline chérie
Tu vivais de la folle moisson
Des doux printemps de ta vie
Et quand tu criais non
Tout en toi semblait dire oui
À l'amour comme à l'amour
Tu as suivi le cours
Tracé par ton destin
Et ta jeunesse en péril
Suspendue à un fil
N'appartenait à rien, ni à personne
Mais rêvait à l'homme
Qui allume de ses nuits
Qui vous révolutionne
T'apportant la joie par ce cri
Caroline chérie

Flamethrower
Flamethrower
Composer(s): Seth Justman
Performer(s): J. Geils Band
All day long she holds it back
Back with all her might
She carries a burnin' torch inside
She holds it firm and tight
She punches out the clock
While it keeps punchin' out her life
She's a flamethrower, red-hot glower
Flamethrower at night
The things she wears at work
They hang off her kinda loose
Her blouse don't fit, the pants ain't right
She ain't no front page news
But when her work is done
And the daytime turns to night
The headlines flash in neon
That the girl has taken flight
Chairman of the board
Won't look her in the eye
The fire of her vision
His money just can't buy
Silently she waits
Silently she contemplates
She can make 'em tremble
You know the reason why
Chorus
She's a flame - flamethrower
She's a flamethrower at night
She's a flame - a red-hot glower
She's a flamethrower at night
You might think you're burnin'
All your candles at both ends
Maybe you should go to church
To make up some amends
But if you think you're fireproof
So cool and much too much
Don't dare go near my baby
'Cause she'll melt you with her touch
I forget the darkness
I forget the pain
When she's movin' through my heart
And when she's pumpin' through my veins
She's the part inside me
I never can control
And she's the only reason
I know I've got a soul
Chorus

The Death Of Little Kathy Fiscus
The Death Of Little Kathy Fiscus
Composer(s): Jimmie Osborne
Performer(s): Jimmie Osborne; Howard Vokes
On April the eighth, the year forty-nine
Death claimed a little child, so pure and so fine
Kathy they called her, met her doom that day
I know it was God that called her away
Playmates of Kathy were all havin' fun
The story was told, they all started to run
And as they looked back, she wasn't there
It's so sad to think of this tragic affair
Just like a beast in a forest that day
The abandoned well took Kathy away
For over two days the well was her tomb
Everyone kept prayin' they'd get her out soon
Thousands were there, from far and from near
Workmen they struggled, against sadness and tears
But after two days, their hopes grew so weak
They called down to Kathy, but she never did speak
After working so hard, both day and night
Digging for hours, she came into sight
The little darlin' was dead, her life it was gone
Now in San Merino there's a heartbroken home
I'm sure she's an angel in God's peaceful fold
Playing with children in a mansion of gold
As I stand alone, humbly I bow
I know Kathy's happy, up there with God now

Carolina Sunshine
Carolina Sunshine
Composer(s): Walter Hirsch - Erwin R. Schmidt
Down in Carolina where the sunbeams play
Down where all the world seems bright
Pickaninies romping all the day
In the cotton fields of white
How my heart is yearning to be there once more
Just to hear the darkies song
Carolina sunshine calls me back to the place where I belong
Carolina Sun I'm lonesome
Carolina Sun I'm blue
When the day is done I'm pining
For a sight of you
Makes no difference where I wander
Any place I chance to roam
When the golden sun sinks in the West
Then I think of home

Flames Of Paradise
Flames Of Paradise
Composer(s): Bruce Roberts; Andy Goldmark
Performer(s): Elton John; Jennifer Rush
You're walking, talking like a flame, baby
You're walking, talking like a flame, baby
Never knew what my heart would be facing
Guess I must have been blind saying goodbye yo you, baby
Close my eyes at night I can taste it
I'm running back in the fire where I once had you, baby
You said don't ever leave me
But I say that's something I won't ever do
I want you back in my arms
In the flames of paradise
In the flames of paradise
I want you back in my arms
In the flames of paradise
The flames of paradise
I give all of my love just to you
It's been so long baby
I give you all my love waits for you
Don't take too long baby
I've been making some brave conversation
Telling friends I'm way better off without you
Then I was living in my imagination
Thinking I could make it without you too baby
My heart tried to deceive me
But that's one thing it just can't do
You said don't ever leave me
Oh that's one thing I won't ever do
