Runaway Child, Running Wild
Runaway Child, Running Wild
Composer(s): Barrett Strong; Norman Whitfield
Performer(s): The Temptations;
and various other artists
You played hooky from school
And you can't go out to play, yeah
Mama said for the rest of the week
In your room you gotta stay, yeah
Now you feel like
The whole world's pickin on you
But deep down inside you know it ain't true
You've been punished cause your mother
Wants to raise you the right way, yeah
But you don't care
Cause you already made up your mind
You wanna run away, yeah
You're on your way
Run away child, running wild
Run away child, running wild
Better come back home
Better come back home
Where you belong
Where you belone
Roaming through the city
Going nowhere fast
You're on your own at last
Hey it's getting late, where will you sleep
Gettin kind-a hungry
You forgot to bring something to eat
Oh lost with no money, you start to cry
But remember you left home
Wanting to be grown
So dry your weepin eyes
Siren screamin down, neon light is flickin
You want your mama
Ah there's nothing for you
You're frightened and confused
I want my mama
But she's much too far away
She can't hear a word you say
You heard some frightening news on the radio
About little boys running away from home
And their parents don't see them no more
You wanna hitch a ride and go home
But your mama told you never trust a stranger
And you don't know which way to go
Streets are dark and deserted
Not a sound nor sign of life
How you long to hear your mother's voice
Cause you're lost and alone
But remember you make the choice
Run away child, running wild
Better go back home where you belong
Run away child, running wild
Better go back home where you belong
You're lost in this great big city
(Go back home where you belong)
Not one familiar face
Ain't it a pity
(Go back home where you belong)
Oh run away child, running wild
You better go back home where you belong
Mama, mama please come and see about me
But she's much too far away
She can't hear a word you say
I want my mama
You're frightened and confused
Which way will you choose

There's An Island
There's An Island
Composer(s): Meshel - Welch - Gilutin
Performer(s): Engelbert Humperdinck
In the pictures that I saw
It looked so pretty
But that's before I lived here
In the city
But there's money to be made
And girl, that's why we stayed
Now it won't be long
Until we're on our way
There's an island in the sun
Shines its light on every one
And the sky's painted blue
Instead of gray
There's an island where I know
We can find the room to grow
And that island's where I'm taking you some day
Girl, we have a dream
Let's not forsake it
Help me find the strength
And we can make it
To where the water's sweet as wine
And it's sunny all the time
And it won't be long until
It's yours and mine
There's an island in the sun
Shines its light on every one
And the sky's painted blue
Instead of gray
There's an island where I know
We can find the room to grow
And that island's where I'm taking you some day
We will be there, you and me there
On an island in the sun
Shines its light on every one
And the sky's painted blue
Instead of gray
There's an island where I know
We can find the room to grow
And that island's where I'm taking you some day
On an island in the sun
Shines its light on every one
And the sky's painted blue
Instead of gray
There's an island where I know
We can find the room to grow
And that island's where I'm taking you some day

Runnin' Down A Dream
Runnin' Down A Dream
Composer(s): Mike Campbell; Jeff Lynne; Tom Petty
Performer(s): Tom Petty
It was a beautiful day, the sun beat down
I had the radio on, I was drivin'
Trees flew by, me and Del were singin' little Runaway
I was flyin'
Chorus:
Yeah runnin' down a dream
That never would come to me
Workin' on a mystery, goin' wherever it leads
Runnin' down a dream
I felt so good like anything was possible
Hit cruise control and rubbed my eyes
The last three days the rain was un-stoppable
It was always cold, no sunshine
Chorus
I rolled on; the sky grew dark
I put the pedal down to make some time
There's something good waiting down this road
I'm pickin' up whatever is mine
Chorus

Runaway Boys
Composer(s): Slim Jim Phantom; Brian Setzer
Performer(s): Stray Cats;
Brian Setzer; The Top Cats
Get kicked out for coming home at dawn
Mom and Dad cursed the day you were born
Throw your clothes into a duffle bag
shoutin' as ya slam the door home is a drag
Who can I turn to and where can I stay?
I heard a place is open all night and all day
There's a place you can go where the cops don't know
You can act real wild they don't treat you like a child
Runaway boys
Your hair's all greasy and you feel like a slob
You're only fifteen and you can't get a job
Go into the luncheonette and shoot a few games
Losing all your quarters, man it's always the same
Steal a couple of bucks to buy a new toy
Slip into the alley with the
Runaway boys
Runnin' faster, faster all the time
You're under age and God knows, that's a crime!
Runaway boys

There's Always Tomorrow
There's Always Tomorrow
Performer(s): Jack Buchanan
There’s always tomorrow to bring us a smile
Maybe we should borrow that thought for a while
For then we’ll both remember that life is but a game
We’ll fan the dying ember and coax it into flame
Tomorrow we’ll borrow a thought from a song
To capture the rapture of days that are gone
For when we’re reunited we’ll have a bit to say
Tomorrow was yesterday
Tomorrow was yesterday

The shorter cut is quicker
But ... Ha! Ha! Time is here to stay!
Look at you fooling you!
The deeper in debt

Need more room to play!
Look at you fooling you!
Another day
You're farther away
Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!
A longer trip back home!

There's A Village In A Valley
There's A Village In A Valley
Composer(s): Mitchell Paris - Abner Silver
Performer(s): Sammy Kaye
There's a village in a valley
Down among the sleepy hills
Where we used to stroll along
And hear the song of whip-poor-wills
In that village in the valley
Once we parted in the rain
As we kissed, remember how we made a vow to meet again ?
Soon, my darling, the wedding bells will chime
From the chapel in apple blossom time
There's a village in a valley
There are roses 'round the door
Where the sky is blue above
We'll live and love forever more

First release by: Del Shannon - 1961
Covered by multiple other artists
As I walk along I wonder a-what went wrong
With our love, a love that was so strong
And as I still walk on, I think of the things we've done
Together, a-while our hearts were young
I'm a-walkin' in the rain
Tears are fallin' and I feel the pain
Wishin' you were here by me
To end this misery
And I wonder
I wa-wa-wa-wa-wonder
Why
Ah-why-why-why-why-why she ran away
And I wonder where she will stay
My little runaway, run-run-run-run-runaway
I'm a-walkin' in the rain
Tears are fallin' and I feel the pain
Wishin' you were here by me
To end this misery
And I wonder
I wa-wa-wa-wa-wonder
Why
Ah-why-why-why-why-why she ran away
And I wonder where she will stay
My little runaway, run-run-run-run-runaway

There's A Tear In My Beer
Composer(s): Hank Williams
First recording/First release by: Hank Williams - 1951/1998
There's a tear in my beer
'Cause I'm cryin' for you, dear
You are on my lonesome mind
Into these last nine beers
I have shed a million tears
You are on my lonely mind
I'm gonna keep drinkin' until I'm petrified
And then maybe these tears will leave my eyes
There's a tear in my beer
'Cause I'm cryin' for you, dear
You were on my lonely mind
Last night I walked the floor, and the night before
You were on my lonely mind
It seems my life is through and I'm so goddam blue
You were on my lonely mind
I'm gonna keep drinkin' till I can't move a toe
And then maybe my heart won't hurt me so
There's a tear in my beer
'Cause I'm cryin' for you, dear
You were on my lonely mind
Lord, I've tried and I've tried
But my tears I can't hide
You were on my lonely mind
All these blues that I've found
Have really got me down
You are on my lonely mind
I'm gonna keep on drinkin' till I can't even think
'Cause in the last week I ain't slept a wink
There's a tear in my beer
'Cause I'm cryin' for you, dear
You were on my lonely mind

Cordoba
Cordoba
Composer(s): Reginald Connelly; Enric Madriguera; Eddie Woods
Performer(s): Dalida
Là-bas, là-bas
À l'horizon lointain s'étend Cordoba
Entourée de jardins couronnée d'oiseaux fleuris de jasmin
Et de jets d'eau
Et je suis là
Pour te prouver qu'à mes premières amours je reviens toujours
Toi je sais bien que tu m'attends
Toi tu n'oublies pas nos vingt ans
Là-bas
Nous monterons les rues usées par les pas
Des amants qui s'aimaient tous à Cordoba
Là-bas
Sous le poids du soleil s'endort Cordoba
Tant d'étranges senteurs de cuir et de miel de poivre et de fleurs
Tandis qu'au ciel
Le jour se meurt
Et que dans l'ombre bleue s'appelle des voix
Se cherchent des cœurs
Toi nous revoici tous les trois
Toi notre amour et Cordoba
Tout bas
Pour me bercer ce soir au creux de tes bras
Chanteront les guitares de Cordoba
Là-bas, là-bas, là-bas
