East Orange, New Jersey
East Orange, New Jersey
Performer(s): Bob Dylan
First time I ever worked in East Orange, New Jersey
Folks, never go to East Orange, New Jersey
It's a horrible town
I one had to play in a coffeehouse out there
It was so bad -- uh -- so bad
People playing chess out there -- uh --
It's all they thought about
Was chess 'n' chess 'n' chess
People come up to me
You play a song, you play a real quiet song'
In the middle of the song ya hear "check"
And "Hey, that was a good move"
And all kinds of stuff like that
Yes, folks, it was so bad I had a little dream out there
The first night I worked
About this chess playing stuff
I dreamed I went to work out in East Orange, New Jersey
And -- uh -- about the time I quit in two days
I went there to ask the guy for my money
"I worked two days for you"
He says, "Uh, well, o.k., we don't pay money around here, though"
I says, "Uh, yeah?" He says, "Uh, well"
He says, "Uh, we pay chessmen"
I said, "Uh, well, gimme my chessmen then
I worked for two days"
I was sort of -- didn't really figure --
I thought he was lying at first
But I took it anyway
He gave me a king and a queen for working two days
I says, "Uh, fine, that's o.k."
So I took my king and queen, went down to a bar, the nearest bar I could find
I walked in the bar and ordered a pint
Down the bar, the bartender
I says, "Can I have a pint?"
I'll be damned, he give me a pint
He asks me for the money
I gave him my king and queen
I'll be damned, he took that king and queen
Threw it under the counter
And brought me out four pawns, two bishops, and a rook for change

I Don't Want To
I Don't Want To
Composer(s): Janice Torre; Fred Spielman
First release by: Elvis Presley - 1962
I don't want to, I don't want to
I don't want to let you know how much I want you
Don't come near me, I don't trust you
I don't trust the way you thrill me when I touch you
I was happy free and easy, I could go around
And do the things that please me
I don't want to get tied down with a girl like you
I don't want to ... love you, but I do
I was happy free and easy, I could go around
And do the things that please me
I don't want to get tied down with a girl like you
I don't want to ... love you, but I do
I don't want to love you, but I do

Jérusalem
Jérusalem
Composer(s): M. Chabrier; Jo Moutet
Performer(s): Edith Piaf
Seul...
Dans le désert et brûlé par le soleil
De Jérusalem, de Jérusalem
Seul...
Un homme en blanc, au loin, assiste au réveil
De Jérusalem, de Jérusalem
Dans Ses yeux, il y a bonté du monde
Dans Son cœur, il y a tout l'amour du monde
Dans Ses mains, il y a la magie du monde
Tout l'univers est là grâce à Lui dans ce désert
Et l'Homme seul
Transfiguré, va, guidé par l'oiseau blanc
Vers Jérusalem, vers Jérusalem
Là...
Il marche parmi les soldats et les gens
De Jérusalem, de Jérusalem
Dans les yeux, il y a la misère du monde
Dans les cœurs, il y a la douleur du monde
Dans leurs mains, il y a la colère du monde
Mais l'Homme en blanc sourit
le regard posé sur eux
Le tambour bat
Pour announcer que s'accomplit le destin
De Jérusalem, de Jérusalem
Car...
Un homme est tombé sur les pierres du chemin
De Jérusalem, de Jérusalem
Dans Ses yeux, il y a le pardon du monde
De Son cœur, se répand tout l'amour du monde
De Ses mains, a surgi la Lumière du monde
C'est un soleil nouveau qui renaît dans le soleil...
De Jérusalem...
De Jérusalem...

To Whom It Concerns
To Whom It Concerns
Composer(s): Chris Andrews
Performer(s): Chris Andrews; Keith; Ken Woodman
My friends, please, hear me do
I've got a message just for you
Now have you someone who you really love
A special person who you think the whole world of
And does this someone have a hold on you
And they won't let go, but you don't want them to
And so, to whom it concerns
All yours in love, that's whom it concerns
You can't help it, you like it feeling this way
You wanna be loved everyday
You can't sleep at night 'cos love is on your mind
And that's how love can sometimes treat you so unkind
When at last sleep comes, who do you dream of
The most wonderful person, yes, the one you love
And so, to whom it concerns
All yours in love, that's whom it concerns
You can't help it, you like it feeling this way
You wanna be loved everyday...

I Don't Want Our Loving To Die
Composer(s): Howard Blaikley; Ken Howard
First release by: The Herd - 1968
Covered by multiple other artists
Only you can help yourself
So try not to mislead her
You've done many foolish things
But deep inside you need her
Ugh!
You've got to believe me, just open your mind
My tangled emotions I need to unwind
'Cause baby, though you know I'd never leave you
I've never wanted to deceive you
Although I do
But I don't want our loving to die
And I'm so tired of living a lie
Though I know I've been weak I can try
Yeah I'll try
You've got to believe me, I mean what I say
I try not to wander when you go away
But baby, though I never make advances
Seems there are no end of chances
To go astray
But I don't want our loving to die
And I'm so tired of living a lie
Though I know I've been weak I can try
Yeah I'll try
Only you can help yourself
So try not to mislead her
You've done many foolish things
But deep inside you need her
'Cause baby, though you know I'd never leave you
I've never wanted to deceive you
Although I do
But I don't want our loving to die
And I'm so tired of living a lie
Though I know I've been weak I can try
Yeah I'll try

Jersey Thursday
Composer(s): Donovan Leitch
Performer(s): Donovan;
Douglas Fir; Greater California
"In a tiny piece of colored glass
My love was born
And reds and golds and yellows
Were the colors in the dawn
Night brought on its purple cloak
Of velvet to the sky
And the girls were wheeling, spinning
On jersey Thursday
In a tiny piece of colored glass
My love was born
And reds and golds and yellows
Were the colors in the dawn
Night brought on its purple cloak
Of velvet to the sky
And the girls were wheeling, spinning
On jersey Thursday"

To Wait For Love
To Wait For Love
Composer(s): Burt Bacharach - Hal David
First recording/First release by: Jay & The Americans - 1963/1964
Covered by multiple other artists
Every day without love
Is a day of sorrow
Don`t wait til tomorrow
To wait for love is just
To waste your life away
Dreams come true and if you
Get too far behind them
Someone else will find them
To wait for love is just
To waste your life away
So press your lips
Against my lips
And thrill me with the
Warmth of your caress
The time for love is late
So please don`t wait
Together, we can
Find happiness
I know that
Every day without love
Is a day of sadness
Let me bring you gladness
To wait for love is just
To waste your life away
Hear what I say
Tomorrow
True love may fly away

Got no time for the corner boys
down in the street makin' all that noise
Don't want no whores on eighth avenue
'cause tonight I'm gonna be with you
'Cause tonight I'm gonna take that ride
across the river to the Jersey side
Take my baby to the carnival
and I'll take you on all the rides
sing sha la la la la la sha la la la
Down the shore everything's alright
you with your baby on a Saturday night
Don't you know that all my dreams come true
when I'm walkin' down the street
with you, sing sha la la la la la sha la la la
You know she thrills me with all her charms
when I'm wrapped up in my baby's arms
my little angel gives me everything
I know someday that she'll wear my ring
So don't bother me cause I got no time
I'm on my way to see that girl of mine
nothin' else matters in this whole wide world
when you're in love with a Jersey girl
sing sha la la la la la la
And I call your name
I can't sleep at night

To The Morning
To The Morning
Composer(s): Dan Fogelberg
First release by: Dan Fogelberg - 1972
Watching the sun
Watching it come
Watching it come up over the rooftops
Cloudy and warm
Maybe a storm
You can never quite tell
From the morning
And it's going to be a day
There is really no way to say no
To the morning
Yes it's going to be a day
There is really nothing left to
Say but
Come on morning
Waiting for mail
Maybe a tail
From an old friend
Or even a lover
Sometimes there's none
But we have fun
Thinking of all who might
Have written
And maybe there are seasons
And maybe they change
And maybe to love is not so strange
The sounds of the day
They hurry away
Now they are gone until tomorrow
When day will break
And you will wake
And you will rake your hands
Across your eyes
And realize
That it's going to be a day
There is really no way to say no
To the morning
Yes it's going to be a day
There is really nothing left to say but
Come on morning

I Don't Wanna Live Without You
I Don't Wanna Live Without You
Composer(s): Jackie Lomax
Performer(s): Jackie Lomax
I don't wanna live with you this way
But I don't wanna live without you
I don't wanna live with you this way
But I don't wanna live without you
I don't wanna live without you
But I can't live with your ways
I begin to doubt you
In all those subtle ways
I don't wanna live with you this way
But I don't wanna live without you
I don't wanna live with you this way
But I don't wanna live without you
I don't wanna tell you your business
But something's seriously wrong
There's no love lost between us
Just can't go on for long
I don't wanna live without you
I don't wanna have to
I don't wanna live without you
I don't wanna have to
I don't wanna live without you
I don't wanna have to doubt you
But I don't wanna live without, without you
I don't wanna live with you this way
But I don't wanna live without you
I don't wanna live with you this way
But I don't wanna live without you
I don't wanna live in this vacuum
There's no space, and no breathable air
I've sung the end of that tune
I know we ain't goin' nowhere
I don't wanna live without you
I don't wanna have to
I don't wanna live without you
I don't wanna have to
I don't wanna live without you
I don't wanna have to doubt you
I don't wanna live without, without you

J'Erre
J'Erre
Performer(s): Guy Béart
J'erre, j'erre, j'erre, la terre est légère
et mon corps aussi, Dieu merci!
J'erre, j'erre, j'erre, la route est légère
et mon pied aussi, Dieu merci!
Je n'ai rien demandé à la terre et rien aux buissons
Elle m'a donné ses fruits, ses sources et sa chanson
J'erre, j'erre, j'erre, ma poche est légère
et ma bouche aussi, Dieu merci!
J'erre, j'erre, j'erre, ma bouche est légère
et mon ventre aussi, Dieu merci!
Je n'ai demandé rien à l'aubergiste, à l'épicier
Le sel et le pain me sont offerts par ton amitié
J'erre, j'erre, j'erre, ma femme est légère
et mon cœur aussi, Dieu merci!
J'erre, j'erre, j'erre, sa robe est légère
et sa jambe aussi, Dieu merci!
Je n'ai demandé rien d'éternel à mon jeune amour
et c'est bien pour ça peut-être qu'il durera toujours
J'erre, j'erre, j'erre, ma joie est légère
et ma peine aussi, Dieu merci!
J'erre, j'erre, j'erre, ma nuit est légère
et mon rêve aussi, Dieu merci!
Je n'ai demandé rien à l'étoile du firmament
mais de temps en temps Dieu m'interpelle amicalement
J'erre, j'erre, j'erre, ma vie est légère
et ma mort aussi, Dieu merci!
J'erre, j'erre, j'erre, ma vie est légère
et ma mort aussi, Dieu merci!

Come Into The Garden
Come Into The Garden
Composer(s): Nick Drake
Performer(s): Nick Drake
In the bright red sky
In the heat of an evening
When only prisoners sleep
She said she couldn't
Come to the garden
See an old man wheel
She said her dreams
What too far to be thought of
As scars too white to view
She said she couldn't
Come to the garden
See a blind man kneel
She sailed away
To a blue horizon
In floating thoughts she'd sway
She said she couldn't
Come to the garden
See an old man pray
She wished them luck
As they left on their journey
Maybe she'd join them soon
But she lost her grip
At the tip of life's finger
Went home and worshipped the moon

Performer(s): Phil Collins
It's over, oh yes it's all over
And it's been a long time coming
Some say it's too long
She said it, and now she'll regret it
But if she'd ask anyone
I know they'll tell her to her face, that it's too late
Cos I don't wanna know
No, I don't wanna know
She can cry all she wants
She's not gonna bring me back, no no
I don't wanna know
I don't wanna know
She can try all she wants
It's not gonna get me back, oh oh, no no
They warned me
Oh yes they all warned me
They told me, don't lose your heart to her
She'll never give it back, no no
Oh it's too late
She made a big mistake
It wouldn't be the first one anyway
Tell me how many more, no no no
No I don't wanna know (what she said)
No I don't wanna know (what she said)
She can cry all she wants
She's not gonna bring me back, no no
I don't wanna know (what she said)
No I don't wanna know (what she said)
She can try all she wants
It's not gonna get me back, oh oh, no no
It's over
Oh oh it's all over
And it's been a long time coming
Some say it's too long, oh oh
They warned me
Yes they all warned me
They told me, now don't lose your head to her
She'll never give it back, no no, no no
I don't wanna know (what she said)
No I don't wanna know (what she said)
She can cry all she wants
She's not gonna get me back, no no
I don't wanna know (what she said)
No I don't wanna know (what she said)
She can try all she wants
She's not gonna bring me back, no no...

Composer(s): Ian Hunter
Performer(s): Mott The Hoople
Old man Tyler had a crash in his car
down on the fortune highway
Doctor said it was his cruel sick heart didn't go to church on Sunday
Oh your pace is going to knock you dead
Out of the race you got time to spare
Jerkin' Crocus is the cause of the cross you bear
Didn't you wish you were there
I know what she want
Just a lick of your ice cream cone
I know what you say
Pappas in bed well hey hey hey
When he got stuck with a hole in his head she asked to try it my way
Get down low with all that haughty jive you don't know what it's like babe
Oh oh oh it's getting down around here
I got nothing to hide I'm to tired to fear
Jerkin' Crocus didn't kill me but she sure came near
She's a nads puller
I know what she want
A judo hold on a black mans balls
I know what you think
Ease over baby going to rock that thing
Alright!
I know what she want
Just a lick of your ice cream cone
I know what you say
Pappas in bed well hey hey hey
I know what she want
A judo hold on a black mans bones
I know what you think
Ease over baby going to rock that thing
Alright!
C'mon Jerkin'
C'mon Jerkin'

No no no no
Alright!
I know

No no no no

Performer(s): Nat King Cole
and multiple other artists
To the ends of the earth I’ll follow my star
To the ends of the earth just to be where you are
No matter where you roam I’ll never be far behind
Who cares where the path may wind
As long as I find you
Though the melody dies, the song lingers on
And a thousand goodbyes won’t convince me you’re gone
I’ll follow you, my love, you’ll never be free
To the ends of the earth till you’ve given your love to me

I Don't Wanna Grow Up
I Don't Wanna Grow Up
Italian Title: Non Voglio Crescere Più - 1994
Composer(s): Kathleen Brennan; Tom Waits
First release by: Tom Waits - 1992
Covered by multiple other artists
When I'm lyin' in my bed at night
I don't wanna grow up
Nothing ever seems to turn out right
I don't wanna grow up
How do you move in a world of fog that's
always changing things
Makes wish that I could be a dog
When I see the price that you pay
I don't wanna grow up
I don't ever want to be that way
I don't wanna grow up
Seems that folks turn into things
that they never want
The only thing to live for is today...
I'm gonna put a hole in my T.V. set
I don't wanna grow up
Open up the medicine chest
I don't wanna grow up
I don't wanna have to shout it out
I don't want my hair to fall out
I don't wanna be filled with doubt
I don't wanna be a good boy scout
I don't wanna have to learn to count
I don't wanna have the biggest amount
I don't wanna grow up
Well when I see my parents fight
I don't wanna grow up
They all go out and drinkin all night
I don't wanna grow up
I'd rather stay here in my room
Nothin' out there but sad and gloom
I don't wanna live in a big old tomb on grand street
When I see the 5 oclock news
I don't wanna grow up
Comb their hair and shine their shoes
I don't wanna grow up
Stay around in my old hometown
I don't wanna put no money down
I don't wanna get a big old loan
Work them fingers to the bone
I don't wanna float on a broom
Fall in love, get married then boom
How the hell did it get here so soon
I don't wanna grow up

Jericho
Jericho
Composer(s): Joni Mitchell
Performer(s): Joni Mitchell; K.D. Lang
I'll try to keep myself open up to you
That's a promise that I made to love
When it was new
"just like jericho" I said
"let these wall come tumbling down"
I said it like I finally found the way
To keep the good feelings alive
I said it like it was something to strive for
I'll try to keep myself open up to you
And approve your self expression
I need that, too
I need your confidence, baby
And the gift of your extra time
In turn I'll give you mine
Sweet darling, it's a rich exchange
It seems to me
It's a warm arrangement!
Anyone will tell you
Just how hard it is to make and keep a friend
Maybe they'll short sell you
Or maybe it's you
Judas, in the end
When you just can no longer pretend
That you're getting what you need
Or you're giving out anything for them to grow and feed on
I'll try to keep myself open up to you
It gets easier and easier to do
Just like jericho
Let these walls come tumbling down now
Let them fall right on the ground
Let all these dogs go running free
The wild and the gentle dogs
Kenneled in me
