Evil


Evil
Composer(s): Willie Dixon
Performer(s): Canned Heat



It's a long way from home
Can't sleep at night
Call on your telephone
Something just ain't right
That's evil, evil is going on wrong
I want to warn you brother
You better watch your happy home

You make it to your house
Knock on the front door
Run 'round to the back
You'll catch him just before he goes
That's evil, evil is going on
I have warned you brother
You better watch your happy home

If you call on the telephone
And she answers long and slow
Grab the first thing smoking
And you have to haul her home
That's evil, evil is going on wrong
I have warned you brother
You better watch your happy home

I'm On The Lamb But I Ain't No Sheep


I'm On The Lamb But I Ain't No Sheep
Composer(s): Eric Bloom; Albert Bouchard; Sandy Pearlman
Performer(s): Blue Öyster Cult; Stalk-Forrest Group



Canadian mounted baby, a police force that works
Red and black, that's their color scheme
get their man, in the end
It's all right, it's all right

Frontenac chateau baby
I'll cross the frontier at ten
Got a whip in my hand baby
And a girl or a husky at leather's end
It's all right, it's all right
My lovely bel punice, you'd kill and you'd maim

Hornswoop me bungo pony, dogsled on ice
Make a dash for freedom baby, don't skate on polar ice
It's to thick to be sliced by the light
Of long and white polar nights
It's all right, it's all right
My lovely bel punice, you'd kill and you'd maim

Evie


Evie
Performer(s): Stevie Wright



I got some money in my pocket, I got the car keys in my hand
I got myself a couple of tickets, to see a rock 'n' rollin' band
Come on girl just get on your shoes we're gonna hear some sou-ou-ounds
Come on babe you know there ain't no time to mess around (round, round, round, round)

Evie, Evie, Evie let your hair hang down
Evie, Evie, Evie let your hair hang down
Evie, Evie, Evie let your hair hang down
Evie, Evie - let your hair hang down

You got the body of a woman, the way you move it like a queen
You got the face to raise a riot, and still you're only seventeen
But little girl you're oh so shy, you hardly make a sou-ou-ound
Come on babe you know there ain't no time to mess around (round, round, round, round)

Evie, Evie, Evie let your hair hang down
Evie, Evie, Evie let your hair hang down
Evie, Evie, Evie let your hair hang down
Evie, Evie - let your hair hang down
Aaaahhhh

So won't you try it baby, I'll take you by the hand
'Cause there's a world out there for you, you're goin' to understa-and
You've got the chance so take it, you've just gotta pick and choose
Why don't you give it just one try, I know you can't lo-o-ose

The body of a woman, you nearly make me lose my breathe
You know you give me such a feeling, you almost scare me half to death, Ow
But little girl you're so reserved, you hardly make a sou-ou-ound
Come on baby, don't you be so shy, don't mess around (round, round, round, round)

Ow, Evie, Evie, Evie let your hair hang down (yeah, yeah, yeah-eah)
Evie (yeah), Evie, Evie let your hair hang down (Aaaahhh)
Evie, Evie, Evie let your hair hang down
(Ow Evie) Evie, Evie - let your hair hang down
Let your hair hang down, let your hair hang down
Let your hair hang down, let your hair hang down

Come on baby, Let your hair hang down
(There's a world out there for me and you to share)
Let your hair hang down, Let your hair hang down
(Try it girl, let your hair-air-air-air-air - hang down)

I'm On My Way To Mandalay


I'm On My Way To Mandalay
Composer(s): Al. Bryan; Fred Fisher



One I love, far away, far away, far away
Land of Love, Mandalay Mandalay, Mandalay
Where the waving trees kiss the ocean breeze
In a garden fair, 'mid the roses there
I'm goin' to find someone who waits for me across the sea

All night long, by the sea, by the sea, by the sea
Her love song Rings for me, rings for me, rings for me
All the world will seem just a lovely dream
And I'll never stray far from Mandalay
I'll live for one who lives alone for me in days to be

I'm on my way to Mandalay
Beneath the shelt'ring palms I want to stray
Oh, let me live and love for aye
On that Island far away
I'm sentimental for my Oriental love, so sweet and gentle
That's why I'm on my way to Mandalay
I've come to say "Good-bye"

Evidence Of Love


Evidence Of Love
Composer(s): Steve Diamond; Chris Farron
Performer(s): Gregg Allman



When I look for the love in your eyes
You turn away
And there's nothing as loud as the words
We never say
Look at us now, standing on the edge again
Look at us now, it's not too late to try again
I need some...

Evidence of love, to keep me going on
Please show me some
Evidence of love, and I'll be here
I still believe we can see it through
There's just so much, that I can do
It doesn't make sense, without some evidence of love

There's a cold, cold look on your face
Is it saying good-bye?
'Cause there's nothing as cold as the ashes
When the fire has died
Talk to me now, tell me what you're missing
Talk to me now, I'll try and find your heart again
I need some...

Evidence of love, to keep me going on
Please show me some
Evidence of love, and I'll be here
I still believe we can see it through
There's just so much, that I can do
It doesn't make sense, without some evidence of love

Stand and fight
Try to say what's on your mind, baby
So much is on the line
There's a chance we'll make it right

Look at us now, standing on the edge again
Look at us now, it's not too late to try again
I need some...

Evidence of love, to keep me going on
Please show me some
Evidence of love, and I'll be here

I'm On My Way To Dublin Bay


I'm On My Way To Dublin Bay
Composer(s): Stanley Murphy
Performer(s): The Peerless Quartet



Michael Shea he marched away with the Dublin Fusiliers
And he left the town in cheers, but he left his girl in tears
But in the rattle of the battle, Michael stood his test
And he won a Sergeant's uniform and a medal on his chest
He got a two month's furlough and he started on his way
His Irish eyes a dancin' as the Boys heard him say

Goodbye! I'm on my way to dear old Dublin Bay
That's why I'm feelin' gay
For oh! I know sweet Molly-O
My colleen, fair to see, is waiting there for me
Her heart with love a bubblin'
On Dublin Bay

Michael Shea reached Dublin Bay when the spring was in the air
And he found his colleen fair, and he hugged her like a bear
He took her down to Dublin town and Father John Malloy
Tied a doublin' knot right on the spot for Molly and her boy
Then on an Irish jaunting car beside her bold gossoon
She learned to sing this chorus by the risin' o' the moon

Goodbye! I'm on my way to dear old Dublin Bay
That's why I'm feelin' gay
For oh! I know sweet Molly-O
My colleen, fair to see, is waiting there for me
Her heart with love a bubblin'
On Dublin Bay

Goodbye! I'm on my way to dear old Dublin Bay
That's why I'm feelin' gay
For oh! I know sweet Molly-O
My colleen, fair to see, is waiting there for me
Her heart with love a bubblin'
On Dublin Bay

Évidemment


Évidemment
Composer(s): Michel Berger
Performer(s): France Gall; Attila Bardoczy;
Eva Fabian; Lara Fabian; Laurence Jalbert



Y a comme un goût amer en nous
Comme un goût de poussière dans tout
Et la colère qui nous suit partout

Y a des silences qui disent beaucoup
Plus que tous les mots qu'on avoue
Et toutes ces questions qui ne tiennent pas debout

Evidemment
Évidemment
On danse encore
Sur les accords
Qu'on aimait tant

Évidemment
Évidemment
On rit encore
Pour les bêtises
Comme des enfants
Mais pas comme avant

Et ces batailles dont on se fout
C'est comme une fatigue, un dégoût
A quoi ça sert de courir partout
On garde cette blessure en nous
Comme une éclaboussure de boue
Qui n'change rien, qui change tout

Évidemment
Évidemment
On rit encore
Pour les bêtises
Comme des enfants
Mais pas comme avant
Pas comme avant

I'm On My Way Back To The Old Home


I'm On My Way Back To The Old Home
Composer(s): Bill Monroe
Performer(s): Bill Monroe
and multiple other artists



Back in the day of my childhood
In the evening when everything was still
I used to listen to the foxes
And my dad in them old Kentucky hills

I'm on my way back to the old home
That road winds on up the hill
But there's no light in the window
That shines long ago where I lived

Soon my childhood days are over
I had to leave my old home
For dad and mom was called to heavebn
We'll I'm left in this world all alone

I'm on my way back to the old home
That road winds on up the hill
But there's no light in the window
That shines long ago where I lived

High in the hills of old Kentucky
Stands a fond spot in my memory
I'm on my way back to the old home
That light in the window I want to see

I'm on my way back to the old home
That road winds on up the hill
But there's no light in the window
That shines long ago where I lived

Evguénie Sokolov
Performer(s): Serge Gainsbourg



Mets ton masque à gaz Sokolov
Que tes fermentations anaérobies
Fassent éclater les tubas de ta renommée
Et que les vents irrépressibles
Transforment abscisses et ordonnées
En de sublimes anamorphoses

I'm On Fire (Bruce Springsteen)


I'm On Fire
Composer(s): Bruce Springsteen
First release by: Bruce Springsteen - 1984
Covered by multiple other artists



Hey little girl is your daddy home
Did he go away and leave you all alone
I got a bad desire
I'm on fire

Tell me now baby is he good to you
Can do to you the things that I do
I can take you higher
I'm on fire

Sometimes it's like, someone took a knife
Baby edgy and dull and cut a six-inch
Valley through the middle of my soul

At night I wake up with the sheets
Soaking wet and a freight train running
Through the middle of my head
Only you can cool my desire
I'm on fire

Everywhere
Composer(s): Larry Kahn; Tolchard Evans
Performer(s): David Whitfield; Tony Martin



You are everywhere, everywhere you’re there
Night and day you share with me
Now I know you’re gone
You still linger on
You’re a haunting memory

I walk an empty street
And somehow we meet
Yet no-one’s there but me
For now I’m on my own
I’ll never walk alone
For you are everywhere with me

I walk an empty street
And somehow we meet
Yet no-one’s there but me
For now I’m on my own
I’ll never walk alone
For you are everywhere with me

Everytime I Turn Around


Everytime I Turn Around
Composer(s): Judy Hart Angelo; Gary Portnoy
Performer(s): Gary Portnoy



Maybe the world is blind
Or just a little unkind
Don't know

Seems you can't be sure
Of anything anymore
Although

You maybe lonely and then
One day you're smilin' again
Every time I turn around
I see the girl that turns my world around
Standing there

Everytime I turn around
Her spirit's lifting me right off the ground
What's gonna be?
Guess we'll just wait and see

Composer(s): Benny Carter; Vivian Ellis
Performer(s): Fats Waller
and multiple other artists



I’m on a see-saw
You throw me up and you throw me down
I don’t know when I’m here or there
Those dreams that we saw
You took them up and you knocked them down
I don’t whether you even care

First I was heaven-bound
Then I found you turned round
And as I hit the ground
Gee, that ain’t right, you know that

I’m on a see-saw
You throw me up and you throw me down
And altogether you don’t prepare

Oh my, I’m on a see-saw
Oh, you throw me up and you throw me down
Altogether you don’t prepare

Everytime I Think Of You


Everytime I Think Of You ((French Version: La Nuit Crie Au Secours (by Johnny Hallyday) - 1981)) Composer(s): Jack Conrad - Ray Kennedy First release by: The Babys - 1979



Everytime I think of you
It always turns out good
Everytime I've held you
I thought you understood
People say a love like ours
Will sure pass
But I know a love like ours
Will last and last
And baby I was wrong
Not knowing how
our love should go
(How our love)
(How our love should go)
But then I wasn't wrong
In knowing how our love would grow
(How our love)
(How our love would grow)
And everytime I think of you
Everytime
Everytime I think of you
Every single time
It always turns out good
Seasons come and seasons go
But our love will never die
Let me hold you darling
So you won't cry
Cause people say that our love affair
Will never last
But we know a love like ours
Will never pass
And baby I was wrong
Not knowing how our love should go
(How our love)
(How our love should go)
But then I wasn't wrong
In knowing how our love would grow
(How our love)
(How our love would grow)
And everytime I think of you
Everytime
Everytime I think of you
Every single time
It always turns out good
People say a love like ours
Will surely pass
But I know a love like ours
Will last and last
And baby I was wrong
Not knowing how our love should go
(How our love)
(How our love should go)
But I wasn't wrong
In knowing how our love would grow
(How our love)
(How our love would grow)
Everytime I think of you
Everytime I think of you
Everytime I think of you
It always turns out good
Everytime I think of you
Everytime I think of you
Everytime I think of you
Everytime
Everytime I think of you
Everytime I think of you (everytime)
Everytime I think of you
Everytime I think of you
Everytime I think of you (everytime)
Everytime I think of you
Everytime I think of you
Everytime I think of you (everytime)

I'm Old Fashioned


I'm Old Fashioned
Composer(s): Jerome Kern; Johnny Mercer
First release by: Fred Astaire & Nan Wynn - 1942
Covered by multiple other artists



I am not such a clever one about the latest fads
I admit I was never one adored by local lads
Not that I ever tried to be a saint
I’m the type that they classify as quaint

I’m old fashioned, I love the moonlight
I love the old fashioned things
The sound of rain upon a window pane
The starry song that April sings
This years fancies are passing fancies
But sighing sighs, holding hands
These my heart understands

I’m old fashioned but I don’t mind it
That’s how I want to be
As long as you agree
To stay old fashioned with me

I’m old fashioned but I don’t mind it
That’s how I want to be
As long as you agree
To stay old fashioned with me

Everytime I See Him


Everytime I See Him
Composer(s): Tom Crain; Charlie Daniels; Taz DeGregorio;
Fred Edwards; Charlie Hayward; James Marshall
Performer(s): The Charlie Daniels Band



Thinks he's a toughguy
Superfly
Stays high
Sneakin down the alleyway to make another buy

Talkin bout a big deal
Big wheel
Nothins real
Wouldn't know the truth if it looked him in the eye

Sneakin out the back door
Top floor
Dirt poor
You know the boys gonna get himself in jail

Living on the back street
Concrete
Fast speed
Lost in the jungle with the tiger by the tail

Everytime I see him
Everytime I see him
Everytime I see him
He's just barely getting by
Everytime I see him
Everytime I see him
Everytime I see him
He's down there getting high

Midnight siren
Whats it mean
Bad dreams
Shiverin and shakin in the middle of the night

Down in a cold sweat
In debt
Upset
Hidin in the back room to keep ot of sight

Walkin that tough walk
Jivetalk
Double cross
Sneakin down the side street hidin from the sun

Makin them big plans
Big man
Be this man
Gonna make a million but he never gets it done

Everytime I see him
Everytime I see him
Everytime I see him
He's just barely getting by
Everytime I see him
Everytime I see him
Everytime I see him
He's down there getting high

Thinks he's a loverboy
Super joy
Tough toy
Thinks he's kinda sexy but the ladies say he ain't

Nothing but a no class
Jiveass
Movin fast
Wants to be a winner but the monkey says he can't

After hours nightspot
Whatcha got
Hot shot
Gotta keep movin just to keep from going down

The boy won't ever learn
Slow burn
Overturn
End up in a coffin there six feet in the ground

Everytime I see him
Everytime I see him
Everytime I see him
He's just barely getting by
Everytime I see him
Everytime I see him
Everytime I see him
He's down there getting high
