Man Of Many Words
Man Of Many Words
Composer(s): Buddy Guy
Originally performed by: Buddy Guy
I don't care what nobody say
I'm a man of a many words
I can speak things to you darlin' I do
I can swear that you never heard
I rap strong and I know it right along
Come on mama let me turn you on
Now come on
Alright
When I grab my game and call your name
You would never be the same
In the midnight hours when you dream my darling
I swear you will call my name
I rap strong when I know it right along
Come on mama let me turn you on
Now come on
I was hauled off to jail late last night
With no one to go my bail
I rapped strong to the judge early this morning
And the judge put the cops in jail
I rap strong and I know it right along
Come on mama let me turn you on
Now come on
Let me tell you about it baby
I gotta tell you
I'm gonna preach about it
I want the world to know about it
I want to know what you did to me
Let me tell you
Listen
Can you hear me
I wanna know do you hear me now
I gotta know do you hear me
I wanna know do you need me
Lord
Lord
Ohhhhhh, baby
Let's talk about it
Let me tell ya

1941
Composer(s): Harry Nilsson
Performer(s): Harry Nilsson;
Tom Northcott; Joel Grey
Well in nineteen-forty-one
A happy father had a son
And by nineteen-forty-four
The father walked right out the door
And in forty-five
The mom and son were still alive
But who could tell in forty-six
If the two were to survive
Well the years were passing quickly
But not fast enough for him
So he closed his eyes till fifty-five
And he opened them up again
When he looked around he saw a clown
And the clown seemed very gay
And he set that night to join
That circus clown and run away
Yoh-dod-dle-doh-da-dat-un-dee-dee (Scat Solo)
Well he followed every railroad track
And every highway sign
And he had a girl in each new town
And the towns he left behind
And the open road
Was the only road he knew
But the colour of his dreams
Slowly turned into blue
Then he met a girl
The kind of girl he wanted all his life
She was soft and kind and good to him
So he took her for a wife
And they got a house not far from town
And in a little while
The girl had seen the doctor
And she came home with a smile
Now in nineteen-sixty-one
A happy father had a son
And by nineteen-sixty-four
The father walked right out the door
And in sixty-five
The mom and son were still around
But what will happen to the boy
When the circus comes to town
Ba-dom-ba-da-da..... (Scat Solo........Fade)

Man Made Paradise
Man Made Paradise
Composer(s): Freddie Mercury
Performer(s): Freddie Mercury
I want to gaze into your eyes and see the fire in their glow
But it's the same old story
Want you to melt inside my arms like falling rain upon the snow
But you say no, you say no
Want you to help me through deep waters when my ship is in a storm
Want you to give me all the power like a king on his throne
But you don't care, you don't care
History repeats itself, I seem to be all by myself again
Come into my life, it's a man made paradise
Come into my life, it's a man made paradise
Come into my life, it's a man made paradise
Come into my life, it's a man made paradise, paradise
One day I'll look into your mind and understand which way to go
But it's the same old story
When you refuse me all the time I'm suicidal on my own
But you don't know, you don't know
I want to be beside you now, lie in the stand and kiss your brow
I want to fly beyond the moon and do the things we do for love
But you don't care, you don't care
History repeats itself, I seem to be all by myself again
Come into my life, it's a man made paradise
Come into my life, it's a man made paradise
Come into my life, it's a man made paradise
Come into my life, it's a man made paradise, paradise
I want to be beside you now, lie in the sand and kiss your brow
I want to fly beyond the moon and do the things we do for love
But you say no, you say no
History repeats itself, I seem to be all by myself again

Man In The Mirror (Michael Jackson)
Man In The Mirror
Composer(s): Siedah Garrett; Glen Ballard
Performer(s): Michael Jackson
I'm gonna make a change
for once im my life
It's gonna feel real good
gonna make a diference
Gonna make it right...
As I, turn up the collar on
my favorite winter coat
This wind is blowing my mind
I see the kids in the streets
with not enought to eat
Who am I to be blind?
Pretending not to see their needs
A summer disregard,a broken bottle top
And a one man soul
They follow each other on the wind ya' know
'Cause they got nowhere to go
That's why I want you to know
I'm starting with the man in the mirror
I'm asking him to change his ways
And no message could have been any clearer
If you wanna make the world a better place
(If you wanna make the world a better place)
Take a look at yourself, and then make a change
(Take a look at yourself, and then make a change)
(Na na na, na na na, na na, na nah)
I've been a victim of a selfish kind of love
It's time that I realize
That there are some with no home, not a nickel to loan
Could it be really me, pretending that they're not alone?
A willow deeply scarred, somebody's broken heart
And a washed-out dream
(Washed-out dream)
They follow the pattern of the wind ya' see
'Cause they got no place to be
That's why I'm starting with me
(Starting with me!)
I'm starting with the man in the mirror
(Ooh!)
I'm asking him to change his ways
(Ooh!)
And no message could have been any clearer
If you wanna make the world a better place
(If you wanna make the world a better place)
Take a look at yourself, and then make a change
(Take a look at yourself, and then make a change)
I'm starting with the man in the mirror
(Ooh!)
I'm asking him to change his ways
(Change his ways - ooh!)
And no message could have been any clearer
If you wanna make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself and then make that..
(Take a look at yourself and then make that..)
Change!
I'm starting with the man in the mirror
(Man in the mirror - Oh yeah!)
I'm asking him to change his ways
(Better change!)
No message could have been any clearer
(If you wanna make the world a better place)
(Take a look at yourself and then make the change)
(You gotta get it right, while you got the time)
('Cause when you close your heart)
You can't close your... your mind!
(Then you close your... mind!)
That man, that man, that man, that man
With the man in the mirror
(Man in the mirror, oh yeah!)
That man, that man, that man,
I'm asking him to change his ways
(Better change!)
You know... that man
No message could have been any clearer
If you wanna make the world a better place
(If you wanna make the world a better place)
Take a look at yourself and then make the change
(Take a look at yourself and then make the change)
Hoo! Hoo! Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!
Na na na, na na na, na na, na nah
(Ooooh...)
Oh no, no no...
I'm gonna make a change
It's gonna feel real good!
Come on!
(Change...)
Just lift yourself
You know
You've got to stop it
Yourself!
(Yeah! - Make that change!)
I've got to make that change, today!
Hoo!
(Man in the mirror)
You got to
You got to not let yourself...
brother
Hoo!
(Yeah! - Make that change!)
You know - I've got to get
that man, that man...
(Man in the mirror)
You've got to
You've got to move! Come on!
Come on!
You got to...
Stand up! Stand up! Stand up!
(Yeah! - Make that change)
Stand up and lift yourself, now!
(Man in the mirror)
Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!
Aaow!
(Yeah! - Make that change!)
Gonna make that change...
come on!
You know it!
You know it!
You know it!
You know it...

1952 Vincent Black Lightning
1952 Vincent Black Lightning
Composer(s): Richard Thompson
Performer(s): Richard Thompson
Oh says Red Molly to James
"That's a fine motorbike
A girl could feel special on any such like"
Says James to Red Molly "My hat's off to you
It's a Vincent Black Lightning, 1952
And I've seen you at the corners and cafes it seems
Red hair and black leather, my favourite colour scheme"
And he pulled her on behind and down to Boxhill they did ride
Oh says James to Red Molly "Here's a ring for your right hand
But I'll tell you in earnest I'm a dangerous man
For I've fought with the law since I was seventeen
I robbed many a man to get my Vincent machine
Now I'm 21 years, I might make 22
And I don't mind dying, but for the love of you
And if fate should break my stride
Then I'll give you my Vincent to ride"
"Come down, come down, Red Molly" called Sergeant McRae
"For they've taken young James Adie for armed robbery
Shotgun blast hit his chest, left nothing inside
Oh come down, Red Molly to his dying bedside"
When she came to the hospital, there wasn't much left
He was running out of road, he was running out of breath
But he smiled to see her cry
He said "I'll give you my Vincent to ride"
Says James "In my opinion, there's nothing in this world
Beats a 52 Vincent and a red headed girl
Now Nortons and Indians and Greeves won't do
Ah, they don't have a soul like a Vincent 52"
Oh he reached for her hand and he slipped her the keys
Said "I've got no further use for these
I see angels on Ariels in leather and chrome
Swooping down from heaven to carry me home"
And he gave her one last kiss and died
And he gave her his Vincent to ride

Man In The Mirror (Dan Fogelberg)
Man In The Mirror
Composer(s): Dan Fogelberg
Performer(s): Dan Fogelberg
The man in the mirror
He keeps getting nearer
But I am not moving
The man in the backstreet
Is holding a trackmeet
But I will not run
Someplace inside you a
Seed has been born
You've got to watch it grow
Someplace inside you
A river is waiting to flow
Will you let it go?
Those voices you're hearing
Are never worth fearing
They're only inside you
They'll tempt you and taunt you
They'll help you and haunt you
But don't try to hide
Sometimes the sun will be
Right at your shoulder
Helping you keep your stride
Sometimes you might have to give up
A piece of your pride
Have you even tried?
The man in the mirror
He keeps getting nearer
But I am not moving
The man in the backstreet
Is holding a trackmeet
But I will not run
Someplace inside you a
Seed has been born
You've got to watch it grow
Someplace inside you
A river is waiting to flow
Will you let it go?

1954 Boogie Blues
Composer(s): Daryl Dragon
Performer(s): Captain & Tennille
I wanta hear me some boogie played
like I heard in 1954
I wanta hear me some boogie played
like I heard in 1954
You know the way that Fats played the boogie
You just don't hear that anymore
I was just a little thing when I heard it on the radio
i was just a little thing when I heard it on the radio
Jerry Lee and Little Richard
You just don't hear that anymore
It was a rompin', stompin', finger-poppin'
Good-time music for my soul
And when the drums were talkin' and the bass went walkin'
That started it
Rock and Roll, oh!
I wanta hear me some boogie played like I heard in 1954
I wanta hear my Captain play some boogie now like I heard in 1954
You know the way my Captain plays the boogie
You just don't hear that anymore

Man In The Middle
Man In The Middle
Performer(s): Tom Petty
Like an inventor
He is a symbol of a new age
He glides above the realms
Of you and me
He flows through your life
And makes you feel quite small
You may sit up in your chair
He doesn’t care at all
He’s the man in the middle
You can tell which way he lays
He’s the man in the middle
And he realises
And he realises
And he realises
Beauty pays
His gowns come from paris
Occasionally from rome
He can go anywhere
Say back to his home
He flows through your life
And makes you feel quite small
Flashing to the white collars
Ha, he doesn’t care at all
He’s the man in the middle
You can tell which way he lays
He’s the man in the middle
And he realises
And he realises
And he realises
Beauty pays
Please...
He’s the man in the middle
You can tell which way he lays
He’s the man in the middle
And he realises
And he realises
And he realises
Beauty pays
He’s the man in the middle
You can tell which way he lays
He’s the man in the middle
And he realises
And he realises
And he realises
Beauty pays
Please...

1959
1959
Composer(s): Gary Gentry
Performer(s): John Anderson
Cigarettes were a quarter then
bobby socks and jeans were in
Elvis sang the songs that we loved so
and the most important thing to us
was keeping gas in my old truck
so I could take us to the drive-in show
Then graduation finally came
Uncle Sam called me away
you married someone else while I was gone
but I've kept your letter all these years
and I can't help but shed a tear
when I read the words you wrote me years ago
Baby I'm yours
I'll love you always
I'm gonna stand by you until the end of time
remember all of the good things that we shared together
signed
love Betty
nineteen fifty nine
I never will forget the day
when you and I went all the way
I was the first for you
and you for me
I've still got the truck that we loved in
it takes me back there now and then
back to fifty nine in my memory
Repeat Chorus

Man In Black
Man In Black
Composer(s): Johnny Cash
Originally performed by: Johnny Cash
Well, you wonder why I always dress in black
Why you never see bright colors on my back
And why does my appearance seem to have a somber tone
Well, there's a reason for the things that I have on
I wear the black for the poor and the beaten down
Livin' in the hopeless, hungry side of town
I wear it for the prisoner who has long paid for his crime
But is there because he's a victim of the times
I wear the black for those who never read
Or listened to the words that Jesus said
About the road to happiness through love and charity
Why, you'd think He's talking straight to you and me
Well, we're doin' mighty fine, I do suppose
In our streak of lightnin' cars and fancy clothes
But just so we're reminded of the ones who are held back
Up front there ought 'a be a Man In Black
I wear it for the sick and lonely old
For the reckless ones whose bad trip left them cold
I wear the black in mournin' for the lives that could have been
Each week we lose a hundred fine young men
And, I wear it for the thousands who have died
Believen' that the Lord was on their side
I wear it for another hundred thousand who have died
Believen' that we all were on their side
Well, there's things that never will be right I know
And things need changin' everywhere you go
But 'til we start to make a move to make a few things right
You'll never see me wear a suit of white
Ah, I'd love to wear a rainbow every day
And tell the world that everything's OK
But I'll try to carry off a little darkness on my back
'Till things are brighter, I'm the Man In Black

1960
1960
Composer(s): Gerry Beckley
Performer(s): America
How 'bout a tear for the year of 1960
I watched the fins of the Cadillac fall
I remember Dad explained about the Berlin Wall
How 'bout a tear for the torment and the trouble
That was brewing in the Asian way
I wore a smile like the faces that surround L.A.
In the city of the lost and found
It's hard to get a break
Hard to stop from getting turned around
And make the same mistakes
My reputation's on the line
The final day of '59
But like the sun, just watch me shine
Today
How 'bout a cheer for the piano virtuoso
I practiced 61 minutes a day
I could never reach the keys
But it was all OK
How 'bout a cheer for the humour in my brother
That could brighten up the darkest nights
It's just another sign of love
Whenever we would fight
It's all the same twenty years ago
As it is right now
Like a tour at the closing show
When I take my bow
My reputation's on the line
At the start of '79
But like the sun, just watch me shine
Today
I've played this part so many times
Since the end of '59
But like the sun, just watch me shine
Today

Man Full Of Yesterdays
Man Full Of Yesterdays
Performer(s): David Byron
He wanted to go to the sun
He wanted to swim in the rain
He waisted his time
Drinking whisky and wine
But now he's come back again
He's tried so hard to forget
What others would make him regret
But if I were he I'd listen to me
And keep myself in my head
Keep myself in my head ...
A man full of yesterdays
Climbing the ladder once again
But he can feel the strain
He's got to make it through
Forget the mistakes of his youth
He's come back again ...
A man full of yesterdays
Climbing the ladder once again
But he can feel the strain

Performer(s): Juan Carlos Baglietto
Ya no sere felíz
tal vez no importa
hay tantas otras cosas
en el mundo
un instante cualquiera
es mas profundo
y diverso que el mar
La vida es corta
y aunque las horas son tan largas
una oscura maravilla
nos asecha
la muerte, ese otro mar
esa otra flecha
que nos libra del sol
y de la luna y del amor
La dicha que me diste
y me quitaste
deben ser borradas
lo que era todo tiene
que ser nada
solo me queda el goce
de estar triste
Esa vana costumbre
que me inclina al sur
a cierta puerta, a cierta esquina

Well do you know that man that rode on the mule

Well do you know that man that walked on the water

He's the same man from down in Galilee
Well now he's a different man that walked on the water
He's a different man that healed the leper man
He's a different man that rode on the mule
He's the same man from down in Galilee
He's the same man from down in Galilee
Well do you know that man that rode on the mule
Do you know that man that rode on the mule

Man And Woman
Man And Woman
Composer(s): Jay Livingstone; Ray Evans
Performer(s): Rosemary Clooney & Bing Crosby
Both:
A man or a woman, we all will agree
To make life worth living is necessary
Rosemary:
A man is a creature we can’t overlook
As easy to read as a page in a book
He’ll boast and he’ll brag of the women he spurned
But just like a doorknob his head can be turned
Uh huh, (uh-huh), mm-mm, (uh-huh), uh-huh, (uh-huh), uh-huh, (uh-huh)
A man oh a man any woman will say
Whatever he is, we like him that way
Bing:
A woman is something both evil and good
But too complicated to be understood
An angel when loving, a devil when mad
A woman can make you both happy and sad
(Mm-mm), mm-mm, (mm-mm), mm-mm, (mm-mm), mm-mm, (mm-mm), mm-mm
A woman, a woman, oh what can she be
Whatever she is, she’s necessary
Rosemary:
Complains that he’s henpecked and treated so bad
But if he’s ignored, then he’ll holler like mad
He knows all the methods of landing a fish
But still can’t be trusted at drying a dish
Uh-huh, (uh-huh), uh-huh, (uh-huh), mm-mm, (mm-mm), mm-mm, (mm-mm)
A man, oh a man, any woman will say
Whatever he is, we like him that way
Bing:
Afraid of a cricket, she’ll scream at a mouse
But she’ll tackle a husband as big as a house
She’ll take him for better, she’ll take him for worse
She’ll bust his head open and then be his nurse
(Uh-huh), uh-huh, (uh-huh), uh-huh, (uh-huh), uh-uh, (uh-huh),uh-huh
Both:
A man or a woman, we all will agree
To make life worth living is necessary

Man
Man
Composer(s): Elton John; Bernie Taupin
Performer(s): Elton John
Man stands in all his glory
Sitting at the crossroads of the same old story
Man got his make-up, wears it like a mask
Hides inside a child, lives inside a glass
Man breathes his own deceit
Man worships his own defeat
Oh I'm a man, I know what it feels like
I'm a man, working on the living part of life
You see through me, I understand
But don't lose hope if you can
Have a little faith in man
Shakespeare's men got all the lines
Modern man lives back in time
Man got bravado in his big steel hands
Runs with the wolf, sleeps with the lamb
Man falls, cuts and bleeds
Man stumbles on his own belief
He's the hoax behind the thrill
The poison arrow, the bitter pill
Hard to swallow, hard to kill, hard to understand
He's the light behind the hill
The broken promise, the iron will
Hard to kill, hard to understand
