[Hey, it ain't over]

Me, I hope that I'm crazy
I feel you driving and you're only the wheel
Slow down, let some-one love you
Oww, I've never touched you since I started to feel
If there's nothing to hide me,
then you've never seen me hanging naked and wired
Somebody lied,
but I say it's hip
to be alive

{chorus}
Now your smile is spreading thin
Seems you're trying not to lose
Since I'm not supposed to grin
All you've got to do is win

[Oww, that's all ya gotta do]
[Oww, it ain't over]

Me, I'm fresh on your pages
Secret thinker, sometimes listening aloud
Life lies dumb on its' heroes
Wear your wound with honor, make someone proud
Someone like you
should not be allowed
to start any fires

{chorus}

[Oww, that's all ya gotta do]
[Oww, it ain't over]

{chorus}

[Oww, thats all ya gotta do]
[Oww] Got to do is win [it ain't over]
Well, your smile is spreading thin
[Oww, seek and believe in you]
Since you're trying not to lose
[Oww, it ain't over, no, no]
Since I'm not supposed to grin
[Oww, that's all ya gotta do]
All you've got to do is win
[Oww, it ain't over, no]
[Oww, seek and believe in you]
All you've got to do is win
[Oww, it ain't over, no, no]
Oww, all you've got!
Is all you've got
[It ain't over]
Min-no-va

All You Pretty Girls


All You Pretty Girls
Composer(s): Andy Partridge
Performer(s): XTC



Do something for me, boys
If I should die at sea, boys
Write a little note, boys
Set it off afloat, saying

Bless you, bless you, all of you pretty girls
Village and city girls by the quayside
Bless you, bless you, all of you pretty girls
Watching and waiting by the sea

Bless you, bless you, all of you pretty girls
Quiet or witty girls by the quayside
Bless you, bless you, all of you pretty girls
Watching and waiting by the sea

I think about your pale arms waving
When I see the caps upon the green
And the rocking roller-coaster ocean
Think about you every night when I'm fathoms asleep
And in my dreams
We are rocking in a similar motion

I think about the salt sea rolling
Down in pearly tears upon your cheeks
Just like the day the harbour pulled away
I think about your warm white sheets unfolding
The more I have to drink
The more that I can think to say

What a lot of talk about it
Ooh such a lotta talk about willpower
Ooh talkin' talkin' talkin' willpower

Running head first down that slide
Burnin' up so bad inside
So much bullshit on the front
Give'm more of what they want

Willow Weep For Me


Willow Weep For Me Composer(s): Ann Ronell First release by: Ted Fio Rito & His Orch. - 1932 Covered by multiple other artists



Willow weep for me Willow weep for me Bend your branches green along the stream that runs to sea Listen to my plea Hear me willow and weep for me Gone my lovers dream Lovely summer dream Gone and left me here to weep my tears into the stream Sad as I can be Hear me willow and weep for me Whisper to the wind and say that love has sinned Left my heart a-breaking, and making a moan Murmur to the night to hide its starry light So none will see me sighing and crying all alone Weeping willow tree Weep in sympathy Bend your branches down along the ground and cover me When the shadows fall, hear me willow and weep for me Oh, Weeping willow tree Weep in sympathy Bend your branches down along the ground and cover me When the shadows fall, hear me willow and weep for me

All You Get From Love Is A Love Song


All You Get From Love Is A Love Song
Composer(s): Steve Eaton
Performer(s): The Carpenters



Like sailin' on a sailin' ship to nowhere
Love took over my heart like an ocean breeze
As season fly I knew that I was losing
Love was washed away with the driftin' tide

Oh it's a dirty old shame that all you get from love is a love song
It's gotcha layin' up nights waiting for the music to start
It's such a dirty old shame when you got to take the blame for a love song
Because the best love song is writing with a broken heart

Now the tears in my eyes are ever blindin'
The future that lies before me I cannot see
Although tomorrow I know the sun is rising
Lightin' up the world for everyone, but not for me

Willing To Forgive


Willing To Forgive
Composer(s): Babyface; Daryl Simmons
Performer(s): Aretha Franklin; Pam Hall



I read her letters
And I saw her picture
And I smelled her cheap perfume, hmm
It must have come from you

How could you touch her
Lay down beside her
Well, there just ain't no excuse
You shouldn't have been so loose

I saw the telephone bill
You must be out of your mind
If you think you can smooth it over
Then you're wasting your time

Well, I'm willing to forgive you but I can't forget
'Cause you really, really, really, really hurt me this time
And I guess I can go on although I must admit
I've been busy, busy, busy, busy thinkin' that I'm gonna mess around some time

You're such a liar
You took her and her children
Out for the afternoon
While I was sittin' waitin' on you

How could you do it
You should've been here with me
You just couldn't do it
You had to be in the streets, uh

Well, I heard through the grapevine
You've been messin' around
When you thought you were gettin' over
That's when my baby I found, oh...
Well, I'm willing to forgive you but I can't forget
'Cause you really, really, really, really hurt me this time (You really hurt me)
And I guess I can go on although I must admit
I've been busy, busy, busy, busy thinkin' that I'm gonna mess around some time

I gave my heart, gave my time
Gave my soul 'cause love was blind
I can't explain this poor excuse
Of a man of a boy who was born to lose

I paid the rent, washed your clothes
Cooked your food and I only God knows
Only God knows why I stay with you
I guess (Guess I) I'm in love

Well, I'm willing to forgive you but I can't forget
(Oh, baby, I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love)
'Cause you really, really, really, really hurt me this time
(Ooh, you really hurt me this time, baby)
And I guess I can go on although I must admit (Although I must admit)
I've been busy, busy, busy, busy thinkin' that I'm gonna mess around some time
(I'm gonna mess around some time)

I gave my heart, gave my time
Gave my soul 'cause love was blind
I can't explain this poor excuse
Of a man of a boy who was born to lose

I paid the rent, I washed your clothes
Cooked your food and I only God knows
Only God knows why I stay with you
I guess (Guess I) I'm in love

Well, I'm willing to forgive you but I can't forget
'Cause you really, really, really, really hurt me this time
(Ooh, oh, baby, you hurt me, you hurt me)
And I guess I can go on although I must admit
I've been busy, busy, busy, busy thinkin' that I'm gonna mess around some time

I'm willing to forgive you but I can't forget
(I'm willin', I'm willin' and able)
'Cause you really, really, really, really hurt me this time

Hello, hello
Is there anyone?
You don't know

A thousand hearts, a million miles of dreams and thoughts of you

All we neeed is a night
All we need is a night to call our own
All we need, we need is a dream
All we need is one night
All we need is a dream to call our own
All we need...
Hello, hello
It's for everyone
That you know who needs someone
To help you make it through

I can't eat in the morning
I can't sleep through the night
I walk the floor and beg for more

For matrimony baby
But I just can't afford a ring

Well, I want your lovin' for breakfast
A great big hug for lunch
I walk the line, just say you're mine
Gimme 'n itty bitty, I'm a-willing and a-ready

All We Ever Wanted Was Everything


All We Ever Wanted Was Everything
Composer(s): Daniel Ash - Kevin Haskins - David J - Peter Murphy
First release by: Bauhaus - 1982
Covered by multiple other artists



All we ever wanted was everything
All we ever got was cold
Get up, eat jelly
Sandwich bars, and barbed wire
Squash every week into a day

The sound of drums is calling
The sound of the drum has called
Flash of youth shoot out of darkness
Factorytown

Oh to be the cream
(repeat)

Willin'


Willin'
Composer(s): Lowell George
Performer(s): Little Feat



I been warped by the rain, driven by the snow
I'm drunk and dirty, don't ya know
And I'm still, oh I'm still

Out on the road late at night
I seen my pretty Alice in every head light
Alice, Dallas Alice

And I've been from Tucson to Tucumcari, Tehachapi to Tonapah
Driven every kind of rig that's ever been made
Driven the back roads so I wouldn't get weighed
And if you give me weed, whites, and wine
And you show me a sign
I'll be willin', to be movin'

I've been kicked by the wind, robbed by the sleet
Had my head stoved in but I'm still on my feet
And I'm still

Smuggled some smokes and folks from Mexico
Baked by the sun, every time I go to Mexico
And I'm still

I've been from Tucson to Tucumcari, Tehachapi to Tonapah
Driven every kind of rig that's ever been made
Driven the back roads so I wouldn't get weighed
And if you give me: weed, whites, and wine
and you show me a sign
I'll be willin', to be movin'

All Touch


All Touch
Composer(s): Carole Pope - Kevan Staples
Performer(s): Rough Trade



I pushed her tense face away from me
I pushed her tense face away from me
The hard smile the voice going on like a razor blade on glass
All touch but no contact
It hit me like it hit me like
It hit me like a slap
All touch and no contact

I pushed his hand away from me
I pushed his hand away from me
Splintering fragments of conversation
Never got down to cold hard facts
All touch but no contact
It stabbed me like it stabbed me like
It stabbed me like
A knife in the back
All touch and no contact

Tense my body for the final attack
All touch and no contact

I pushed her tense face away from me
I pushed her tense face away from me
The hard smile the voice going on like a razor blade on glass
All touch but no contact
It hit me like it hit me like
It hit me like a slap
All touch and no contact

Challenging eyes over the rim of a cocktail glass
Hoping I'd react
All touch but no contact

Willie, Waylon And Me


Willie, Waylon And Me
Composer(s): David Allan Coe
Performer(s): David Allan Coe



I'd heard The Burritos out in California
could fly higher than The Byrds
Roger McGuinn had a 12 string guitar
It was like nothing I'd ever heard
And The Eagles flew in from the west coast
Like The Byrds they were trying to be free
While in Texas the talk turned to Outlaws
Like Willie and Waylon and me.

Hey!
Well they say Texas music is in the make
And we've been making music that is free
Doing one night stands and playing with our bands
Willie, Waylon and me

Oh Mad Dog!

They say The Beatles were just the beginning
of everything music could be
Just like The Stones I was rolling along
Like a ship lost out on the sea
And Joplin would die for the future
And Dylan would write poetry
And in Texas the talk turned to Outlaws
Like Willie and Waylon and me

Hey!
My name is David Allen Coe and I'm from Dallas Texas
They say Texas music is in the make
And we've been making music that is free
Doing one night stands and playing with our bands
Willie, Waylon and me

Big Jim!

I'd heard The Burritos out in California

All Too Soon


All Too Soon
Composer(s): Carl Sigman - Duke Ellington
Performer(s): Ella Fitzgerald



All too soon
We had to part
The moment you had touched my heart
And with you went my dream
All too soon

All too sweet
Was our affair
And you put all the sweetness there
What a shame that it's gone
All too soon

I knew the strange delights
That only you in love could bring
And as I reached the heights
The bottom fell from everything

You should know as well as I
Our love deserves another try
For we whispered goodbye
All too soon
Too soon

All Tomorrow's Parties


All Tomorrow's Parties
((German Version: Alle Morgens Parties (by Kendra Smith) - 1987))
Composer(s): Lou Reed
First release by: The Velvet Underground & Nico - 1967
Covered by multiple other artists



And what costume shall the poor girl wear
To all tomorrow's parties
A hand-me-down dress from who knows where
To all tomorrow's parties
And where will she go and what shall she do
When midnight comes around
She'll turn once more to Sunday's clown
And cry behind the door

And what costume shall the poor girl wear
To all tomorrow's parties
Why silks and linens of yesterday's gowns
To all tomorrow's parties

And what will she do with Thursday's rags
When Monday comes around
She'll turn once more to Sunday's clown
And cry behind the door

And what costume shall the poor girl wear
To all tomorrow's parties
For Thursday's child is Sunday's clown
For whom none will go mourning

A blackened shroud, a hand-me-down gown
Of rags and silks, a costume
Fit for one who sits and cries
For all tomorrow's parties
