White Rabbit


White Rabbit
Composer(s): Grace Slick
Performer(s): Jefferson Airplane



One pill makes you larger
And one pill makes you small
And the ones that mother gives you
Don't do anything at all
Go ask Alice
When she's ten feet tall
And if you go chasing rabbits
And you know you're going to fall
Tell 'em a hookah smoking caterpillar
Has given you the call
Call Alice
When she was just small
When the men on the chessboard
Get up and tell you where to go
And you've just had some kind of mushroom
And your mind is moving low
Go ask Alice
I think she'll know
When logic and proportion
Have fallen sloppy dead
And the White Knight is talking backwards
And the Red Queen's "off with her head!"
Remember what the dormouse said
"Feed your head
Feed your head
Feed your head"

All Eyes On You


All Eyes On You
Performer(s): Peter Frampton



I'll believe you when I see you cry
No one needs to tell me reasons why
And I'm scared of losing, losing all we have

When there's all eyes on you
All eyes on you
Let it be my eyes on you

Stop this feeling
Make it go away
I had to change things
Soon as yesterday
As I watch you fading, fading out on me

Now there's all eyes on you
All eyes on you
All eyes on you
All eyes on you
Let it be my eyes on you

If I tell you I'll be there
Won't you give me one more chance to change
If you listen to what I say
I know you are the only one for me

I'll believe you when I see you cry
No one needs to tell me reasons why

When there's all eyes on you

All eyes on you
All eyes on you
All eyes on you
Let it be my eyes on you
(Repeats)

White On White


White On White
Composer(s): Lor Crane; Bernice Ross
Performer(s): Danny Williams



White on white, lace on satin
Blue velvet ribbons on her bouquet
White on white, lace on satin
My little angel is getting married today

Here she comes in her wedding gown lookin' like a queen
She has been my only love since she was thirteen
I've been dreaming of this day and how proud I'd be
When she came walkin' down the aisle and held out her hand to me

White on white, lace on satin
Blue velvet ribbons on her bouquet
White on white, lace on satin
My little angel is getting married today

I'll be waiting to kiss the bride when her name is new
Standing oh, so close to her silently saying "I do"
I'll be holding back my tears till she's gone away
'cause she'll belong to someone else when the organ starts to play

White on white, lace on satin
Blue velvet ribbons on her bouquet
White on white, lace on satin
My little angel is ge-e-etting ma-a-rried today

All Eyes


All Eyes
Composer(s): Greg Bloch - Connie - Laura Kinghtlinger - Holly Knight
Performer(s): Heart



Hey hot shot boy
Hand on your hip
You're wasting your time
Giving me lip
When you look at me, it melts my legs
And wraps me around your fingertip

You don't have to say a word
To get hold of me
Take me...shake me
Burning gravity baby
Look at me
Look at me

You're all eyes - all eyes
Touching me in the night
You're all eyes - and those eyes
Are tearing me up inside

We go walking you and I
If some woman turns your eye
I pull you back in my direction
Too keep you by my side

You don't have to go nowhere
To get where you should be
You don't have to look around
Just you look at me - look at me - look at me

You're all eyes - all eyes
Touching me in the night
You're all eyes - and those eyes
Are tearing me up inside

White Lightning


White Lightning
Composer(s): J.P. Richardson
Performer(s): George Jones



Well in North Carolina, way back in the hills
Me and my old pappy had a hand in a still
We brewed white lightnin' 'til the sun went down
Then he'd fill him a jug and he'd pass it around
Mighty, mighty pleasin, pappy's corn squeezin'
Whshhhoooh . . . white lightnin'

(Chorus)
Well the "G" men "T" men revenuers, too
Searchin' for the place where he made his brew
They were looking, tryin to book him, but my pappy kept a-cookin'
Whshhhoooh . . . white lightnin'

Well I asked my old pappy why he called his brew
White lightnin' 'stead of mountain dew
I took a little sip and right away I knew
As my eyes bugged out and my face turned blue
Mighty, mighty pleasin, pappy's corn squeezin'
Shhhoooh . . . white lightnin'

(Chorus)

Well a city slicker came and he said "I'm tough"
I think I wanna taste that powerful stuff
He took one s-s-sip and drank it right down
And I heard him a moaning as he hit the ground
Mighty, mighty pleasin, pappy's corn squeezin'
Whshhhoooh . . . white lightnin'

(Chorus)

I'm all dressed up
With a broken heart
Pretending I'm with you
Someone else in my arms
Only bring back your charms

And the teardrops start
I realize it's true
I'm all dressed up
With a broken heart
And still in love with you

When I'm alone
And the teardrops start
I realize it's true
I'm all dressed up
With a broken heart
And still in love with you

White Days Of Spring


White Days Of Spring
Spanish Title: Días Blancos De Primavera
Performer(s): Pedro Aznar



White days of Spring
To awaken with the green that's sprung
its perfume comes to give you a quick spray
White days of Spring
this blue will take your pain away
farther than the cold, to some frozen corner

Days without peace, no longer will there be days without peace
If you've already drowned from crying
If you've already cleansed your soul anew
Back to shining, release your grief, back to shining

White days of Spring
flower in bloom waiting to give its all
by barely asking you to look at it

Back to shining, release your grief, back to shining
Because winter will return
today is time for warmth
Sunny day, may today be a sunny day
Don't insist on looking back
for one day, soon, days will freeze

Every Spring day
Every petal carries a song
that it prepared while the cold drowned its voice

Sunny day, may today be a sunny day
If you've already drowned from crying
If you've already cleansed your soul anew
Days of love, days for giving, days of love

White days of Spring
This white blossom of today holds the fruit
May all of life shine in Spring
inside and out the Sun returns

White Car In Germany


White Car In Germany
Composer(s): Billy Mackenzie; Alan Rankine
Performer(s): Associates



Aberdeen's an old place
Dusseldorf's a cold place
Cold as spies can be
Lisp your way through Zurich
Walk on eggs in Munich
Rub salt in its knee

I'm not one for surgery
Premature senility
White car in Germany

Anonymous as bathrooms
Androgynous as Dachshunds
Try them out and see
If some brat annoys you
Do what's felt impromptu
Kick them in their own

Is this your infirmary
On the road to recovery
White car in Germany

White car
White car
White car in Germany

And if I had some time later in the day to
Do something for your love

But maybe by now she’ll see things my way
And ask me to say to
Do something for her love

White Bird


White Bird
Composer(s): David LaFlamme; Linda LaFlamme
Performer(s): It's A Beautiful Day;
and various other artists



White bird in a golden cage
On a winter's day, in the rain
White bird in a golden cage
Alone

The leaves blow 'cross the long black road
To the darkened sky, in its rage
But the white bird just sits in her cage
Unknown

White bird must fly or she will die
The white bird dreams of the aspen tree
With her dying leaves turning gold
But the white bird just sits in her cage
Growing old

White bird must fly or she will die
White bird must fly or she will die

The sunsets come, the sunsets go
The clouds float by, the earth turns slow
And a young bird's eyes do always glow
And she must fly
And she must fly
And she must fly

White bird in a golden cage
On a winter's day, in the rain
White bird in a golden cage
Alone

White bird must fly or she will die
White bird must fly or she will die
White bird must fly or she will die
White bird must fly

Whistling Away The Dark


Whistling Away The Dark
Composer(s): Johnny Mercer; Henry Mancini
Performer(s): Henry Mancini;
and various other artists



Often I think this sad old world is whistling in the dark
Just like a child, who, late from school
walks bravely home through the park
To keep their spirits soaring and keep the night at bay
Neither quite knowing which way they are going, they sing the shadows away
Often I think my poor old heart has given up for good
and then I see a brand new face, I glimpse some new neighborhood
So walk me back home, my darling, tell me dreams really come true
Whistling whistling here in the dark with you
Often I think my poor old heart has given up for good
and then I see a brand new face, I glimpse some new neighborhood
So walk me back home, my darling, tell me dreams really come true
Whistling whistling here in the dark with you

Whistle Your Cares Away


Whistle Your Cares Away
Composer(s): Milligan; Stephens
Performer(s): The Goons



(Eccles):
Oooohh! Who stuck that needle in my nut

(Milligan/Sprigs):
(Thank you, yes
Very good
Thank you maestro, I think I have it now)
Life is ... (sorry, I'll start again)
Life is full of modern type misfortune
Full of strife and woe and grief by fright
But even though you come upon misfortune
There's one thing that will save you in the end
When life is not all bliss, please remembering

(Secombe):
(Thank you)
When you're drowning in the water of a shark infested bay
Give a little [whistle] and whistle your cares away
When your standing on the gallows at the dreaded break of day
Give a little [whistle] and whistle your cares away

(Eccles):
Your beauty is a raphosdy -- classic melody
Hiding all refrain from most experienced regency

(Secombe):
If you'rr tied up to the railroad and the train is on its way
Give a little [whistle] and whistle your cares away

(Bluebottle):
Living in the dreaded London Town
But your life will not be half as dreary
If you do not let them get you down
So listen to my plea, for the price of one and three
Oh, thank you [splash]

(Little Jim):
He has fallen in the water

(Secombe):
... of a shark infested bay
Give a little help!

(Eccles):
... and whistle your cares away

(Minnie):
Henry! Henry! Henry!

(Secombe):
If you're tightened to the railroad and the train is on its way
Just give a little [toot! toot!] and whistle your cares away

(Eccles):
Oh!

All Comes Back To You


All Comes Back To You
Performer(s): Tina Charles



When I’m alone I reminisce
I see your face with in my mind
I taste the essence of your kiss
And as my silent dreams unwind
I feel the emptiness you left behind
For it all comes back to you, all comes back
To you
In all that I say and all I do
For it all comes back to you, all comes back
To you, my love

The memories that shut me in
I bring the light to change them all
Why did it have to end like this
If there’s an angel guarding me
Turn back the time to what it used to be
For it all comes back to you,
All comes back to you
In all that I say and all that I do
For it all comes back to you, all comes back
To you, my love

All comes back, it all comes back to you
In everything I say or do
Every little thing reminds me of you
It all, it all comes back to you
In everything I say or do
It all comes back to you
Oh baby, believe me
It all comes back …..
