We're Ready


We're Ready
Composer(s): Tom Scholz
Performer(s): Boston



I'm ready for more
The feelin' now that I'm besides you
We'll open the door
Do anything that we decide to
And I know that there's something that's just out of sight
And I feel like I'm finally seein' the light

Holdin' on girl -- I know it's right
I know it's right

We're ready!

You and I will find a reason
To simplify a change of season
And I feel like it's time we were off on our way
We can go so much farther than we've come today
Holdin' on girl and come what may
Come what may

We're ready!

We're ready
Come on
We can find a way

We're ready now
Catchin' a wave to ride on
Steady now
Headin' where we decide on
And I know that there's something that's just out of sight
And I feel like we're trying to do something right
Come on make it if we hold on tight
Hold on tight

We're ready!

We're ready
Come on
We can find a way

We're ready now
We're ready now
We're ready now

Add It Up


Add It Up
Composer(s): Ray Davies
Performer(s): The Kinks



The first time that I saw you, you were modestly waiting for a bus
Now you're driving around in hired limousines
And you talk so upper class.

The cost is high, but it's not the only price you ultimately pay
Add it up, you might have got some money
But you lost me on the way

Add it up, oh
Add it up, oh
Add it up, oh
Add it up, oh

Ah, Gucci, Gucci, Gucci
Cartier, Cartier
Gucci, Gucci, Gucci

Add it up,
You multiplied and multiplied but what's it leading to?
Add it up,
The only thing subtracted is the love I had for you
So add it up, oh
Add it up, oh
Add it up, oh
Add it up, oh

Symbols of perversion and insanity
Symbols of social immorality
Symbols of economic cruelty
Symbolize all what you did to me

Ah, Gucci, Gucci, Gucci
Cartier, Cartier
Gucci, Gucci, Gucci
Cartier, Cartier

Money can't cover up the fact you're getting older every day
And you can't disguise your sad little eyes that give your loneliness away

Add it up, oh
Add it up, oh
Add it up, oh
(repeat)

We're On Our Way To France


We're On Our Way To France
Composer(s): Irving Berlin
Performer(s): Irving Berlin;
and various other artists



All is ready so just hold steady
We'll soon be going to the pier
No more waiting or hesitating
The time to sail is here
Bye-bye mothers and all the others
Who'll come to shed a little tear
Don't cry
Bye-bye
Give us a parting cheer

[Refrain:]
We're on our way to France
There's not a minute to spare
That's why
For when the Yanks advance
You bet we wanna be there
Goodbye

Old Hoboken is bent and broken
From soldiers marching on her pier
While you slumber, a great big number
Of soldiers disappear
To the millions of brave civilians
That we are leaving over here

We say
Day day
Give us a parting cheer

Adam's Apple


Adam's Apple
Composer(s): Steven Tyler
First release by: Aerosmith - 1975



Back when Cain was able
Way before the stable
Lighting struck right down from the sky
A mother ship with fate said let's give it a try
Conscience was related
Man he was created
Lady luck took him by surprise
A sweet and bitter fruit it surely opened his eyes
Well she ate it
Lordy it was love at first bite
Well she ate it
Never knowin wrong from right right right
Even Eve in Eden
Voices tried deceiving
With lies that showed the lady the way
At first she stopped and turned and tried to walk away
Man he was believer
Lady was deceiver
So the story goes but you see
The snake was he and she just climbed right up his tree
So she ate it
Lordy it was love at first bite
Well she ate it
Never knowin wrong from right right right
Whooooaaa......
Conscience was related
Man he was created
When lady luck took him by surprise
The sweet and bitter fruit it surely opened his eyes
Evil came like reignin
Who knows who's to blamin
Something tried to lay her to waste
And all she want and need was just a little taste
Whooa, she ate it
Lordy it was love at first bite
Well she ate it
Never knowin wrong from right right right
Well she ate it
Lordy it was love at first bite
Yeah she ate it
Never knowin wrong from right right
Oh that's right

Because of the wonderful things he does
We're off to see the Wizard, the wonderful Wizard of Oz

Adam et Eve c'est toi et moi
On est faits tous deux pour vivre ensemble
Adam et Eve c'est toi et moi
Et pour nous la vie commence

Adam et Eve c'est toi et moi
On est faits tous deux pour vivre ensemble
Adam et Eve c'est toi et moi
Et pour nous la vie commence

Rien n'a existé, rien ne s'est passé
Avant que l'on se rencontre
Le monde aujourd'hui est mécanisé
Mais l'amour n'a pas changé

Adam et Eve c'est toi et moi
On est faits tous deux pour vivre ensemble
Adam et Eve c'est toi et moi
Et pour nous la vie commence

Tu es mon premier homme
Et je suis ta première femme
L'un à l'autre on s'est donné une âme
Tu es mon guide je veux te suivre
Sincère et attentive

Adam et Eve c'est toi et moi
On est faits tous deux pour vivre ensemble
Adam et Eve c'est toi et moi
Et pour nous la vie commence

Chaque instant de pluie, de ténèbres ou de soleil
Devient un signe providentiel
Depuis ce tendre premier matin
Confiante je t'appartiens

Adam et Eve c'est toi et moi
On est faits tous deux pour vivre ensemble
Adam et Eve c'est toi et moi
Et pour nous la vie commence ...

(We're Not) The Jet Set


(We're Not) The Jet Set
Composer(s): Bobby Braddock
Performer(s): John Prine;
and various other artists



By a fountain back in Rome I fell in love with you
In a small cafe in Athens You said you loved me too
And it was April in Paris when I first held you close to me
Rome, Georgia, Athens, Texas And Paris, Tennessee

No, we're not the jet set
We're the old Chevro-let set
There's no Riviera
In Festus, Missouri
And you won't find Onassis
In Mullinville, Kansas
No, we're not the jet set
We're the old Chevro-let set
But ain't we got love

No, we're not the jet set
We're the old Chevro-let set
Our steak and martinis
Is draft beer with weenies
Our Bach and Tchaikovsky
Is Haggard and Husky
No, we're not the jet set
We're the old Chevro-let set
But ain't we got love

No, We're not the jet set
We're the old Chevro-let set
The Prine and DeMent set
Ain't the flaming suzette set
Our Bach and Tchaikovsky
Is Haggard and Husky
We're the old Chevro-let set
But ain't we got love

Adam And I


Adam And I
Composer(s): Nicky James - Ray Thomas
Performer(s): Ray Thomas



I waited so long, for you to come along
Hoping and praying, my love would bear a son
Now I see that love, it shines within your eyes
We're gonna take our journey, Adam and I

We'll ignore all boarders, for our spirit must stay free
Free as the wind that blows, there's so much for you to see
We'll ride on a moonbeam, and never pass one by
We're gonna take our journey, Adam and I

When we reach the land of the setting sun
You'll be overjoyed, you'll see the sights
So reach and take your father's hand
And may the Lord have mercy on our flight
Adam and I, Adam and I, Adam and I, and I

The river of life flows swiftly, into the sea of time
Our lives were made for living, my joy is in your smile
We'll talk to the heron, and he can teach us how to fly
We're gonna take our journey, Adam and I

Our Lord is in his heaven, He watches us below
His seed was made for sowing, and we reap what we sow
But he's a man of love, divine he's on high
We're gonna take our journey, Adam and I
Adam and I, Adam and I, Adam and I
My son and I

We're Not Kids Anymore


We're Not Kids Anymore
Composer(s): Loretta Lynn
Performer(s): Loretta Lynn & Ernest Tubb



We're not kids anymore, not a little girl and boy
But we break each other's heart like a child breaks a toy
We're a woman and a man watchin' love slip through our hands
Let's grow up, we're not kids anymore

I go out of my way to hurt you more every day
And you cry out like your little heart will break
And every time you make me blue, I make the point to hurt you too
And I wonder how much more our love can take

We're not kids anymore, not a little girl and boy
But we break each other's heart like a child breaks a toy
We're a woman and a man watchin' love slip through our hands
Let's grow up, we're not kids anymore

We're not kids anymore, not a little girl and boy
But we break each other's heart like a child breaks a toy
We're a woman and a man watchin' love slip through our hands
Let's grow up, we're not kids anymore
Let's grow up, we're not kids anymore

Adam And Evil


Adam And Evil
Composer(s): Randy Starr - Fred Wise
First recording/First release by: Elvis Presley - 1966



Now Adam and Evil, they go hand in hand
Eve taught him sin, that's the way it all began
But every time you kiss me, my heart pounds like a drum
So trouble is a woman, trouble here I come

I'm lonely like Adam, you're evil like Eve
I shouldn't take forbidden fruit 'cause I believe
I'll be heading straight for heartache
I should cut loose and run
But if loving you means heartache
Heartache, here I come

You're not the angel that I dreamed about
But you're the devil I don't want to live without
A woman's a woman, a man is a man
I can't be free I'm just putty in your hands
Who cares about tomorrow, I need your love tonight

And even if you're evil, baby hold me tight

You're not the angel that I dreamed about
But you're the devil I don't want to live without
A woman's a woman, a man is a man
I can't be free I'm just putty in your hands
Who cares about tomorrow, I need your love tonight

And baby if you're evil, baby hold me tight
Hold me tight
Hold me tight
Hold me tight

Performer(s): Al Jarreau;

It's like a diamond ring
It's a precious thing
And we never want to lose it
.. It's like a favorite song
That we love to sing
Every time we hear the music

chorus:
We're in this love together
We got the kind that lasts forever
We're in this love together
And like berries on the vine
It gets sweeter all the time

Its like a rainy night in candlelight
And,ooh it's so romantic
We got the whole thing working
out so right
And it's just the way we planned it

chorus:
We're in this love together
We got the kind that lasts forever
We're in this love together
And like berries on the vine
It gets sweeter all the time

chorus:
We're in this love together
We got the kind that lasts forever
We're in this love together
And like berries on the vine
It gets sweeter all the time

Adam And Eve


Adam And Eve
Performer(s): Paul Anka



In the garden of Eden, a long time ago
yeah, there was a story I'm sure you will know
I'm sure you remember, I know you believe
the story of Adam and Eve

In the garden of Eden where live began
yes the very beginning of woman and man
I'm sure you remember and I know you believe
the story of Adam and Eve

They were in the garden while they both fell in love
sheltered by the guiding hand of the one above
Life was filled with happiness until one day around
a very great temptation, you know how it goes

In the garden of Eden, a long time ago
there was a story I'm sure you will know
I'm sure you remember, I'm sure you believe
the story of Adam and Eve

In the garden of Eden, a long time ago, such a story ...

Well there's a leak in this old building
We're gonna move to a better, move to a better
Move to a better home

Adam


Adam
Composer(s): Richie Havens
Performer(s): Richie Havens



In the dawning waking hour
He'll lift his head and brush his eyes
With gentle strokes
That will only blindly mislead him
Into the first day of creation
Which he only sees in limitation

Now he sits upon his empty bed
His heart is warm, his heart is full
And he can see
But it is impossible for him to retain me
For his arms are without form
He cannot know the word
As his mind cries out absurd

Now he's standing inside the doorway
He is afraid but he believes all that he sees
On the floor
Where everything is merging
And pictures he sees are tragic
As he begins to believe in magic

Now he lies down in a hole
Down in the ground, where it is cold
And now he knows
Now he realizes his biggest mistake
That he never had to grow old
That he never had to grow cold and die

We're Gonna Make It


We're Gonna Make It
Composer(s): Billy Davis; Clifton Smith;
Raynard Miner; Gene Barge
Performer(s): Little Milton;
and various other artists



We may not have a cent to pay the rent
But we're gonna make it, I know we will
We may have to eat beans every day
But we're gonna make it, I know we will
And if a job is hard to find
And we have to stand in the welfare line
I've got your love and you know you got mine
So we're gonna make it, I know we will

We may not have a home to call our own
But we're gonna make it, I know we will
We may have to fight hardships alone
But we're gonna make it, I know we will
'Cause togetherness brings peace of mind
We can't stay down all the time
I've got your love and you know you got mine
So we're gonna make it, I know we will

Our car may be old, our two rooms cold
But we're gonna make it, I know we will
We may not can spare a roach a crumb
But we're gonna make it, I know we will
And if I have to carry 'round a sign
Sayin' "Help the deaf, the dumb, and the blind"
I got your love and you know you got mine
So we're gonna make it, I know we will

We're gonna make it
(We're gonna make it, we're gonna make it)
We're gonna make it, baby
(We're gonna make it, we're gonna make it)
It might seem hard sometime
(We're gonna make it, we're gonna make it)
But don't worry, darlin' baby
(We're gonna make it, we're gonna make it)
We're gonna keep on tryin'
(We're gonna make it, we're gonna make it)

Adalida

Performer(s): George Strait
and multiple other artists



Adalida, pretty little Cajun queen
Sweet Dixie flower, the bell of the bayou
You’re every young man's dream
Adalida, I’d walk through the hurricane
To stand beside ya sweet Adalida I’d swim the Ponchartrain

Oh no, here ya coming down the road
With your cotton dress a swishing
You’re getting some attention
From all the boys in Thibodaux
Oh my, you’re really filling up their eyes
Smiling and a winking
I know what they’re thinking
But I’m the only one who loves you so

Adalida, pretty little Cajun queen
Sweet Dixie flower, the bell of the bayou
You’re every young man's dream
Adalida, I’d walk through the hurricane
To stand beside ya sweet Adalida I’d swim the Ponchartrain

Oh no, the hottest little dish I know
I know that you can tell it
You’re making me so jealous
From my head down to my toes
Oh me, you could make a red neck green
The way that you’re a looking
You got me a cooking
And I ain’t talking bout Etoufee’

Adalida, pretty little Cajun queen
Sweet Dixie flower, the bell of the bayou
You’re every young man's dream
Adalida, I’d walk through the hurricane
To stand beside ya sweet Adalida I’d swim the Ponchartrain

Adalida, pretty little Cajun queen
Sweet Dixie flower, the bell of the bayou
You’re every young man's dream
Adalida, I’d walk through the hurricane
To stand beside ya sweet Adalida I’d swim the Ponchartrain

To stand beside ya sweet Adalida
To stand beside ya sweet Adalida
Just to stand beside of my sweet Adalida
I’d swim the Ponchartrain

Adagio (Mina)


Adagio
Composer(s): M. Nobile - V. Buffoli - P. Limiti
Performer(s): Mina



Adagio parla piano stasera
o gli altri capiranno di noi...
balliamo, ma non stringermi ancora
nel buio vedo gli occhi di lei...

Adagio, no, non farle capire
che il cuore scoppia dentro di noi...
non deve cominciare a soffrire
se t'amo non è colpa di lei

Amore non guardarmi così
non puoi guardarmi oppure non ce la farò...
Sul collo il tuo respiro ormai mi fa impazzire
ti prego non lo fare, no, o morirò! Morirò

Lontano sento battere l'ora...
il mondo è la fuori e lo sai
adagio piango adagio
stasera nel mondo tu ritorni con lei

Amore non guardarmi così
non puoi guardarmi oppure non ce la farò...
Sul collo il tuo respiro ormai mi fa impazzire
ti prego non lo fare, no, o morirò! Morirò, morirò

We're Gonna Hang Out The Washing On The Siegfried Line


We’re Gonna Hang Out The Washing
On The Siegfried Line
Composer(s): Michael Carr; Jimmy Kennedy
Performer(s): Flanagan & Allen; Chas & Dave



We're gonna hang out the washing on the Siegfried line
Have you any dirty washing, mother dear?
We're gonna hang out the washing on the Siegfried line
‘Cause the washing day is here

Whether the weather may be wet or fine
We'll just ride along without a care
We're gonna hang out the washing on the Siegfried line
If that Siegfried line's still there

Mother dear, I'm writing you from somewhere in France
Hoping this finds you well
Sergeant says I'm doing fine - a soldier and a half
Here's a song that we all sing
This'll make you laugh...

We're gonna hang out the washing on the Siegfried line
Have you any dirty washing, mother dear?
We're gonna hang out the washing on the Siegfried line
‘Cause the washing day is here

Whether the weather may be wet or fine
We'll just ride along without a care
We're gonna hang out the washing on the Siegfried line
If that Siegfried line's still there

Acute Schizophrenia Paranoia Blues


Acute Schizophrenia Paranoia Blues
Composer(s): Ray Davies
Performer(s): The Kinks



I'm too terrified to walk out of my own front door
They're demonstrating outside I think they're gonna start the third world war
I've been to my local head shrinker
To help classify my disease
He said it's one of the cases of acute schizophrenia he sees

Well the milkman's a spy, and the grocer keeps on following me
And the woman next door's an undercover for the K.G.B.
And the man from the Social Security
Keeps on invading my privacy
Oh there ain't no cure for acute schizophrenia disease

I've got acute schizophrenia paranoia too
Schizophrenia, schizophrenia
I've got it, you've got it, we can't lose
Acute schizophrenia blues

I'm lost on the river, the river of no return
I can't make decisions, I don't know which way I'm gonna turn
Even my old dad, lost some of the best friends he ever had
Apparently, his was a case of acute schizophrenia too

I got acute schizophrenia paranoia too
Schizophrenia, schizophrenia
I've got it, you've got it, we can't lose
Acute schizophrenia blues

They're watching my house and they're tapping my telephone
I can't trust nobody, but I'm much too scared to be on my own
And the income tax collector's got his beady eye on me
Oh there ain't no cure for acute schizophrenia disease

No there ain't no cure for Schizophrenia disease
