Another Lullaby
Another Lullaby
Composer(s): Jimmy Webb
Performer(s): Art Garfunkel
Close your eyes my pretty child, though the night is dark and the wind is wild
I will stand beside your bed, tonight there is nothing you need fear or dread
You can sleep now, go to sleep, the rain falls and the windows weep
I'm standing by to sing a lullaby
Close your eyes my sister fair, though the snow is falling and the trees are bare
And I will hold you by the hand, tonight there is nothing you need try to understand
You can sleep now, go to sleep
The daytime's dying and the nighttime's so deep
I'm standing by to sing a lullaby
Close your eyes my mother wise when the waves are angry and the north train cries
I stopped those ghosts outside your door, Mama, don't worry about those ghosts no more
You can sleep now, go to sleep, tomorrow comes but it will keep
I'm standing by to sing a lullaby, another lullaby, another lullaby, another lullaby

Deal
Deal
Composer(s): Jerry Garcia - Robert Hunter
First release by: Grateful Dead - 1981
Covered by multiple other artists
Since it costs a lot to win, and even more to lose
You and me are bound to spend some time wondrin' what to choose
Goes to show, you don't ever know
Watch each card you play and play it slow
Wait until that deal come round
Don't you let that deal go down, no, no
I been gamblin' hereabouts for ten good solid years
If I told you all that went down it would burn off both of your ears
Goes to show you don't ever know
Watch each card you play and play it slow
Wait until that deal come round
Don't you let that deal go down, no, no
Since you poured the wine for me and tightened up my shoes
I hate to leave you sittin' there, composin' lonesome blues
Goes to show you don't ever know
Watch each card you play and play it slow
Wait until that deal come round, don't you let that deal go down
Wait until that deal come round, don't you let that deal go down
Wait until that deal come round, don't you let that deal go down
Don't you let that deal go down, don't you let that deal go down

Another Lonely Man
Another Lonely Man
Composer(s): Neil Innes
Performer(s): Neil Innes
I don't want to fall in love again
I know my heart could never stand the pain
Meanwhile I'll try to get by if I can
From now on I'll be another lonely man
I'd like to thank you
For the way you held my hand
That moonlit night
Down by the old Rio Grande
Now even Paris in the spring
Does not mean a thing
But the streetlights seem to understand
That I don't want to fall in love again
I know my heart could never stand the pain
Meanwhile I'll try to get by if I can
From now on I'll be another lonely man
When I come home at night
A little worse for drink
I see my empty room
and razor by the sink
But it's no use to me
It runs on batteries
And I got to get some new ones
I think
Oh I don't want to fall in love again
I know my heart could never stand the pain
Meanwhile I'll try to get by if I can
From now on I'll be another lonely man
I still remember the things we used to do
Mixing cocktails and sharing our shampoo
And that night you lost your key
You blamed it all on me
Because we were both dressed up as
kangaroos
Oh I don't want to fall in love again
I know my heart could never stand the pain
Meanwhile I'll try to get by if I can
From now on I'll be another lonely man
From now on I'll be another lonely man

Och en dans på Brännö brygga

Se där ute i Väst

Från Vinga Sand (Dunk dunk dunk dunk dunk)
hörs in till land (Dunk dunk dunk dunk dunk)
blandat med dragspelslåt
dunket från en fiskebåt
Dansen den går (Dunk dunk dunk dunk dunk)
Hjärtat det slår (Dunk dunk dunk dunk dunk)
Slår för en hjärtevän
och för Bohuslän
Ada och Beda och Kålle och ja´
tar en vickning i ruffen på "Flory"
och "preppen" den hänger i tamp, som den ska´
men i sällskap, ed "trallallala"
Kålle som är på ett prima humör
elegant bjuder upp med ett: "Ska vi?"
och med Ada i famn går han in för en dans
som om tyngdlagen alls inte fanns
Det ä´dans på Brännö brygga
en gammal och kär tradition
Fullt med publik

Ja va´var en vals utan dragspelets ton
Och en dans på Brännö brygga

Goin' Back
Goin’ Back
Composer(s): Gerry Goffin - Carole King
Performer(s): Dusty Springfield
I think I’m goin’ back
To the things
I learned so well
In my youth
I think I’m returning to
Those days
When I was young enough
To know the truth
Now there are no games
To only pass the time
No more colouring books
No christmas bells to chime
But thinking young
And growing older
Is no sin
And I can play
The game of life to win
I can recall the time
When I wasn’t ashamed
To reach out to a friend
And now I think I’ve got
A lot more than
A skipping rope to lend
Now there’s more to do
Than watch my sailboat glide
And everyday can be
My magic carpet ride
And I can play hide and seek with my fears
And live my days instead of counting my years
Let everyone debate the true reality
I’d rather see the world the way it used to be
A little bit of freedom’s
All we lack
So catch me if you can
I’m goin’ back

Crossin' the highway late last night
He shoulda looked left and he shoulda looked right
He didn't see the station wagon car
The skunk got squashed and there you are!
You got yer
Dead skunk in the middle of the road
Dead skunk in the middle of the road
You got yer dead skunk in the middle of the road
Stinkin' to high Heaven!
Take a whiff on me, that ain't no rose!
Roll up yer window and hold yer nose
You don't have to look and you don't have to see
'Cause you can feel it in your olfactory
You got yer
Dead skunk in the middle of the road
Dead skunk in the middle of the road
You got yer dead skunk in the middle of the road
Stinkin' to high Heaven!
Yeah you got yer dead cat and you got yer dead dog
On a moonlight night you got yer dead toad frog
Got yer dead rabbit and yer dead raccoon
The blood and the guts they're gonna make you swoon!
You got yer
Dead skunk in the middle of the road
Dead skunk in the middle of the road
You got yer dead skunk in the middle of the road
Stinkin' to high Heaven!
C'mon stink!
You got it!
It's dead, it's in the middle
Dead skunk in the middle!
Dead skunk in the middle of the road
Stinkin' to high heaven!
All over the road, technicolor man!
Oh, you got pollution
It's dead, it's in the middle
And it's stinkin' to high, high Heaven!

Another Hit And Run
Another Hit And Run
Composer(s): Joe Elliott - Rick Savage
Performer(s): Def Leppard
Union Jack is back with a hole in his head
He's gettin' badly burned every time
He's laughin' at me and dancin' on my sneakers
And his sixties songs are blowin' up my speakers
I say you got no respect
Respect for authority
You're just playing your dirty tricks
And then come cryin' to me
Hit and run, hit and run
It's just a hit and run
Another hit and run
The bulldog lost his bite and his breath has gone bad
And the whole damn world is really laughin' mad
I say you got no respect
Respect for authority
You're just playing your dirty tricks
And then come cryin' to me
Hit and run, hit and run
It's just a hit and run
Another hit and run
Hit it!!
Oh bring it down
Oh you bring it down
I say you ain't got no respect
I say you ain't got no respect
No you ain't got no respect
And you hit me when I'm down
Hit and run, hit and run
It's just another hit and run
I said it's just another hit and run
Oh yeah, hit and run
Oh yeah, hit and run
Oh yeah, hit and run
Oh yeah, hit and run
Oh yeah, hit and run
It's just another hit and run
Hit and run

Dead Presidents
Dead Presidents
Composer(s): Billy "The Kid" Emerson - Willie Dixon
First release by: Little Walter - 1964
Covered by multiple other artists
Them dead presidents
Them dead presidents
Well I ain't broke but I'm badly bent
Everybody loves them dead presidents
A little bit of Lincoln can't park the car
Washington he can't go too far
Jefferson is good, played the track
If you think you're gonna bring some big bitch back
Them dead presidents...
Hamilton on a ten can get you straight
But Jackson on a twenty is really great
And if you're talkin about a poor man's friend
Grant will get you out of whatever you're in
Them dead presidents...
A hundred dollar Franklin is really sweet
A five hundred McKinley is the one for me
If I get a Cleveland I'm really set
A thousand dollar Cleveland is hard to get
Them dead presidents...

Another Hand Shakin' Goodbye
Another Hand Shakin' Goodbye
Composer(s): Dallas Frazier
Performer(s): Jerry Lee Lewis
No matter who I'm dreaming with
Honey you start talking in my sleep
Then I wake up and start making up
A lie while you sleep
Like an old time friend I squeeze her hand
And I walk away unsatisfied
Another Try
Another Cry
Another Hand Shakin' Goodbye
I laughed a lot with Mary Ann
I cried with Melody
And Rose Marie was more than just a little close to Jerry Lee
I can't count the hearts I've stepped on
Because of loving you
Another Try
Another Cry
Another Hand Shakin' Goodbye
I laughed a lot with Mary Ann
I cried with Melody
Rose Marie was more than just a little close to Jerry Lee
Lord I can't count the hearts I've stepped on
Because of loving her
Another Try
Another Cry
Another Hand Shakin' Goodbye
Another Try
Another Cry
Another Hand Shakin' Goodbye
Have Mercy Baby ...

Dead Man's Curve
Dead Man's Curve
Composer(s): Jan Berry - Roger Christian - Artie Kornfeld - Brian Wilson
First release by: Jan & Dean - 1963
Covered by multiple other artists
I was cruisin' in my Stingray late one night
When an XKE pulled up on the right
He rolled down the window of his shiny new Jag
And challenged me then and there to a drag
I said "You're on buddy -- my mill's running fine
Let's come off the line now at Sunset and Vine
But I'll go you one better, if you've got the nerve
Let's race all the way -- to Dead Man's Curve"
(Dead Man's Curve) is no place to play
(Dead Man's Curve) you'd best keep away
(Dead Man's Curve) I can hear 'em say
"Won't come back from Dead Man's Curve"
The street was deserted late Friday night
We were buggin' each other while we sat out the light
We both popped the clutch when the light turned green
You shoulda heard the whine from my screamin' machine!
I flew past La Brea, Schwab's and Crescent Heights
And all the Jag could see were my six taillights
He passed me at Doheny then I started to swerve
But I pulled her out and there we were - at Dead Man's Curve
(Dead Man's Curve) is no place to play
(Dead Man's Curve...)
"Well, the last thing I remember, Doc
I started to swerve
And then I saw the Jag slide into the curve
I know I'll never forget that horrible sight
I guess I found out for myself that everyone was right"
Won't come back from Dead Man's Curve...
(Dead Man's Curve) is no place to play
(Dead Man's Curve) you'd best keep away
(Dead Man's Curve) I can hear 'em say
"Won't come back from Dead Man's Curve"
(Dead Man's Curve) is no place to play
(Dead Man's Curve) you'd best keep away
(Dead Man's Curve) I can hear 'em say
"Won't come back from Dead Man's Curve"

Another Girl
Another Girl
Composer(s): John Lennon - Paul McCartney
First recording/First release by: The Beatles - 1965
For I have got another girl, another girl
You're making me say that I've got nobody but you
But as from today well I've got somebody that's new
I ain't no fool and I don't take what I don't want
For I have got another girl, another girl
She's sweeter that all the girls and I've met quite a few
Nobody in all the world can do what she can do
And so I'm telling you this time you'd better stop
For I have got another girl
Another girl who will love me till the end
Through thick and thin she will always be my friend
I don't wanna say that I've been unhappy with you
But as from today, well I've seen somebody that's new
I ain't no fool and I don't take what I don't want
For I have got another girl
Another girl who will love me till the end
Through thick and thin she will always be my friend
For I have got another girl
Another girl who will love me till the end
Through thick and thin she will always be my friend
For I have got another girl

Dead Giveaway
Dead Giveaway
Composer(s): Joey Gallo - Leon F. Sylvers III - Marquis Dair
Performer(s): Shalamar
How long you gonna carry on
This one on one charade
Let's don't and then say we did
That's the game you like to play
We've been through this so many times
The end results always the same
I always end up complaining
When I've got myself to blame
You're just a dead giveaway
You'd think I'd learn to handle this by now
You're just a dead giveaway
Girl you can't deny it
(Even though you try)
You keep trying to hide it
(Baby we know why)
I get a call about 2am
Saying you don't want to be alone
Now I'm tired and half asleep
But emotions are just a little too strong
I figure that I'd call your bluff
Cause you want me to come on by
Girl you know it's your love I've always wanted
And this time I won't be denied
Cause you're a dead giveaway
Girl you want me like I want you
A dead giveaway
You're scared but you won't admit it
(Even though you try)
But tonight you're committed
(Baby we know why)
Cause you're just a dead giveaway
You're not that naive girl
(I'm finding out)
Is playing deceiver
(What you're all about)
Well now that you're serious
It's time to take off that disguise
You want more that mental stimulation
I can see it in your eyes
For years I've been your analyst
I've been as patient as I've been kind
For years you've played off believing
That I loved you for only your mind
'Cause you're a dead giveaway
I can tell by the look in your eye
That you're a dead giveaway
I'm finding out
What you're all about
You're just a dead giveaway

Another Door
Another Door
Composer(s): Carly Simon
Performer(s): Carly Simon
Some destination
A footstep in the sand
Some indication
A truth to understand
I'm going hunting
To find it if I can
But it might be just an arrow
To still some other plan
Hidden meanings and love's strange ways
Keep me looking for more and more
But all I find is that behind
Each new door is another door
Time's printed pages
Words you won't forget
go out and try to live them
you'll be an angel yet
I'm going hunting
I think I'll win the bet
But it might end up winning me sorrow
And leaving my soul in debt
Hidden meanings and love's strange ways
Keep me looking for more and more
But all I find is that behind
Each new door is another door

Dead Flowers

Composer(s): Mick Jagger - Keith Richards
First release by: The Rolling Stones - 1971
Covered by multiple other artists
Well, when you're sitting there
In your silk upholstered chair
Talking to some rich folks that you know
Well I hope you won't see me
In my ragged company
You know I could never be alone
Take me down little Susie, take me down
I know you think you're the Queen of the Underground
And you can send me dead flowers every morning
Send me dead flowers by the mail
Send me dead flowers to my wedding
And I won't forget to put roses on your grave
Well, when you're sitting back
In your rose pink Cadillac
Making bets on Kentucky Derby Day
I'll be in my basement room
With a needle and a spoon
And another girl to take my pain away
Take me down little Susie, take me down
I know you think you're the Queen of the Underground
And you can send me dead flowers every morning
Send me dead flowers by the mail
Send me dead flowers to my wedding
And I won't forget to put roses on your grave
Take me down little Susie, take me down
I know you think you're the Queen of the Underground
And you can send me dead flowers every morning
Send me dead flowers by the US mail
Say it with dead flowers at my wedding
And I won't forget to put roses on your grave
No I won't forget to put roses on your grave

Another Deal Goes Down
Another Deal Goes Down
Composer(s): Will Jennings - Steve Winwood
Performer(s): Steve Winwood
Midnight comes and the devil's loose
What you want? He's got everything there
What you've got he'll take
And leave you in the cold
One more soul drowns, another deal goes down
The night is full of danger, another deal goes down
On the street, the refugees
From a war that was lost in the heart
No one wants to see them
And the fire is burning slow
Tell me what you're searching for, will you, sister?
Emptiness inside, you will never fill it up with another thrill
Money's spent, all the words are said
Nothing helps, streets are falling apart
Through the night they're burning and the devil's on a roll

Dead End Street
Dead End Street
Composer(s): Ray Davies
First release by: The Kinks - 1966
There's a crack up in the ceiling
And the kitchen sink is leaking
Out of work and got no money
A Sunday joint of bread and honey
What are we living for?
Two-roomed apartment on the second floor
No money coming in
The rent collector's knocking, trying to get in
We are strictly second class
We don't understand
(Dead end!)
Why we should be on dead end street
(Dead end!)
People are living on dead end street
(Dead end!)
Gonna die on dead end street
Dead end street (yeah)
Dead end street (yeah)
On a cold and frosty morning
Wipe my eyes and stop me yawning
And my feet are nearly frozen
Boil the tea and put some toast on
What are we living for?
Two-roomed apartment on the second floor
No chance to emigrate
I'm deep in debt and now it's much too late
We both want to work so hard
We can't get the chance
(Dead end!)
People live on dead end street
(Dead end!)
People are dying on dead end street
(Dead end!)
Gonna die on dead end street
Dead end street (yeah)
Dead end street (yeah)
(Dead end!)
People live on dead end street
(Dead end!)
People are dying on dead end street

Gonna die on dead end street
Dead end street (yeah)
Dead end street (yeah)
Dead end street (yeah)
Head to my feet (yeah)
Dead end street (yeah)
Dead end street (yeah)
Dead end street (yeah)
How's it feel? (yeah)
How's it feel? (yeah)
Dead end street (yeah)
Dead end street (yeah)
I just couldn't breath
The air was too thin up there
I wanted to leave but nobody seemed to care
Then you came into my life
Brought me hope so I could see my way
And now my life's changed in so many ways
I've been fooling myself, thinking that I.....could make it all by myself
That's living a lie
Then you came into my life
Picked me up when I thought I was lost
And now I'll keep you, no matter what the cost
I won't make it home
I've already been shown
I won't see another day or it's gone
I'm pushin' hard 'cause I'm so afraid of dyin'
I've got to make it home to see her one more time
Mistakes I've made will follow me home
They won't be paid till I'm dead and gone
Till I'm dead and gone
Till I'm ...............dead and gone

Another Day, Another Town
Another Day, Another Town
Composer(s): Jim Croce
Performer(s): Jim & Ingrid Croce
My dusty feet have kicked the stones
Between a thousand railroad ties
From Boston down to New Orleans
I left the girls a cryin'
But I've still got some ramblin' in me
Got some miles left on my shoes
And before I take a job again
I'll have to be low-down
Cryin' the blues
So it's goodbye, baby, the whistle is a blowin'
If I miss the train I'll have to stay around
But as long as those railroad tracks go on unending
I'll be off to another day in another town
You say you'd like to ramble with me
This ain't no life for a girl
Too many people out to get you in a hobo's world
And it gets mighty cold when you're on the road
'Cause a boxcar never was a home
But you could join me if you want
I'm gettin' mighty tired of bein' alone
So it's goodbye, baby, the whistle is a blowin'
If we miss the train we'll have to stay around
But as long as those railroad tracks go on unending
We'll be off to another day in another town
But as long as those railroad tracks go on unending
We'll be off to another day in another town
We'll be off to another day in another town

Dead And Gone
Composer(s): Enrico Rosenbaum
Performer(s): Gypsy
Six days of runnin'
I've been trying to make it home
And they pursue me till they get back what I stole
Mistakes I've made will follow me home
They won't be paid till I'm dead and gone
I know they're closin' in
I feel them close behind
I just can't shake 'em,
It's as if they knew my mind
Mistakes I've made will follow me home
They won't be paid till I'm dead and gone
I won't make it home
I've already been shown
I won't see another day or it's gone
I'm pushin' hard 'cause I'm so afraid of dyin'
I've got to make it home to see her one more time
Mistakes I've made will follow me home
They won't be paid till I'm dead and gone
Till I'm dead and gone
Till I'm ...............dead and gone
I fell in this hole
Nothing but darkness there
I lost all control believing I'd die there
Then you came into my life
Picked me up when I thought I was lost
And now I'll keep you, no matter what the cost
I just couldn't breath
The air was too thin up there
I wanted to leave but nobody seemed to care
Then you came into my life
Brought me hope so I could see my way
And now my life's changed in so many ways
I've been fooling myself, thinking that I.....could make it all by myself
