Deeper Well


Deeper Well Composer(s): Dave Ohey - Daniel Lanois - Emmylou Harris Performer(s): Emmylou Harris and multiple other artists



The sun burned hot, it burned my eyes
Burned so hot I thought I'd died
Thought I'd died and gone to hell
Lookin' for the water from a deeper well
I went to the river but the river was dry
I fell to my knees an I looked to the sky
I looked to the sky and the spring rain fell
I saw the water from a deeper well

Well...lookin' for the water from a deeper well
Well...lookin' for the water from a deeper well

I was ready for love I was ready for the money
Ready for the blood and ready for the honey
Ready for the winnin', ready for the bell
Lookin' for the water from a deeper well
I found some love and I found some money
Found that blood would drip from the honey
Found I had a thirst that I could not quell
Lookin' for the water from a deeper well

Well...lookin' for the water from a deeper well
Well...lookin' for the water from a deeper well

Well I did it for kicks and I did it for faith
I did it for lust and I did it for hate
I did it for need and I did it for love
Addiction stayed on tight like a glove
So I ran with the moon and I ran with the night
And the three of us were a terrible sight
Nipple to the bottle to the gun to the cell
To the bottom of a hole of a deeper well

Well...lookin' for the water from a deeper well
Well...lookin' for the water from a deeper well

I rocked with the cradle and I rolled with the rage
I shook those walls and I rattled that gage
I took my trouble down a deadend trail
Reachin' out a hand for a holier grail
Hey there mama did you carry that load
Did you tell your baby 'bout the bend in the road
'Bout the rebel yell 'bout the one that fell
Lookin' for the water from a deeper well

Well...lookin' for the water from a deeper well
Well...lookin' for the water from a deeper well

Ant Rap


Ant Rap
Composer(s): Adam Ant - Marco Pirroni
Performer(s): Adam & The Ants



Put some wax on the trax and slide on onta here
hane hane hane hane hane

hatchets in the corner ears to the ground
improve to the groove get down to the sound
buttons and bows and bleu blanc rouge
all things lively must be used
liberté, egalité, aujourd'hui c'est très très très
voici l'opportunité nous
Incroyables

I got the moves they got the grooves
summoned the Gods and they all approved
bad vibes akimbo on the shelf
bit of a rap thing going for myself
this gold on the teeth's no sense at all
it only matters when it's on the wall

I'm standing here with my four men
let's start that rapping thing again

Marco, Merrick, Terry Lee, Gary Tibbs and yours truly
in the naughty North and in the sexy South
we're all singing I have the mouth
in the naughty North and in the sexy South
we're all singing I have the mouth
I have the mouth

So tired of anarchists looking at me
don't need their credibility
"destroy," they say, "defy! condemn!"
as long as you don't destroy them
with twenty years of drugs and drink
I thought the time had come to think
about standing up and saying that
It's tragedy and such old hat

I'm standing here with my four men
let's start that rapping thing again

(I got) Marco, Merrick, Terry Lee, Gary Tibbs and yours truly
in the naughty North and in the sexy South
we're all singing I have the mouth
in the naughty North and in the sexy South
we're all singing I have the mouth
I have the mouth

these happy feet are all we need
summoned the Gods and they all agreed
these feet won't stop they're in such a hurry
I knock it on the head and I go for a curry
staying sober can be neat
get drunk on these here happy feet
keep on trying to pin me down
"why a title for your sound?"
I'm standing here with my four men
let's do this rapping thing again

I got Marco, Merrick, Terry Lee, Gary Tibbs and yours truly
in the naughty North and in the sexy South
we're all singing I have the mouth...

and I have the mouth
and you have the mouth
and they got the mouth

Deeper Still


Deeper Still Composer(s): Beth Nielsen Chapman - David Wilcox Performer(s): Beth Nielsen Chapman; Harry Chapin; David Wilcox



In the tears you gave to me
I found a river to an ocean
Concrete sky and a stone cold sea
Came to where the emptiness cracked open

Then all my fears came crashing through
And met the fire of my sorrow
But I found my strength in forgiving you
I never even knew how far my heart could go

I live my life beyond each death
From the deeper well of trust
To know that when there's nothing left
You will always have what you gave to love

In this life the love you give
Becomes the only lasting treasure
So that what you lose will be what you win
A well that echoes down too deep to measure

A silver coin rings down that well
You can never spend too much
A diamond echoes deeper still
You will always have what you gave to love
You will always have what you gave to love

Bella Maria


Bella Maria
Performer(s): George Baker



I have always been a dreamer
I will never settle down
Yes, the grass is always greener over there
The highway is my home

Let me be a freeborn lover
Let me be just what I am
Let me live and let me love just for a while
Then we try again

Bella Maria, come on, don't cry
There is the crazy moon in the sky
It was so good to be here with you
But I must do what I must do

Bella Maria, come on, don't cry
This is the time that we say goodbye
It was so nice to be a while with you
But I must do what I must do

Come on, baby, let me kiss you
Yes, forever I will miss you
Memories are going with me
On the open roads, girl I have to go

Bella Maria, come on, don't cry
This is the time that we say goodbye
It was so nice to be a while with you
But I must do what I must do

Bella Maria, come on, don't cry
There is the crazy moon in the sky
It was so good to be here with you
But I must do what I must do

Bella Maria, come on, don't cry
This is the time that we say goodbye
It was so nice to be a while with you
But I must do what I must do

Come on, baby, let me kiss you
Yes, forever I will miss you
Memories are going with me
On the open roads, girl I have to go

Bella Maria, come on, don't cry
This is the time that we say goodbye
It was so nice to be a while with you
But I must do what I must do

It was so nice to be a while with you
But I must do what I must do

Deeper In Love


Deeper In Love
Composer(s): Dana Meyers; Wardell Potts Jr.; Dominic Leslie
Performer(s): Tavares



Keep fallin’ deeper in love
Keep fallin’ deeper in love

When it comes to love I’ve got to be for real
I never hesitate to show just how I feel
For too often my heart’s been filled with pain
And it seems I’ll never learn to play the game

Girl, in my deepest thoughts
How I wonder if your heart is true
There is a chance it’s not
Still I just can’t help thinking of you, and I

Keep fallin’ deeper in love
Deeper in love, deeper in love with you
Keep fallin’ deeper in love

At times I ask myself just what I’m lookin’ for
Girl, I find it all in you and so much more
There can be no doubt that you’re the one I need
Open eyes will see the signs are there to read

I’ve got to find a way
To break through this dark cloud of indecision
My heart says play it safe
But I’d rather find out what I’m missing, so I

Keep fallin’ deeper in love
Deeper in love, deeper in love with you
Keep fallin’ deeper in love
Sinkin’ deeper, no matter what I do

Keep fallin’ deeper in love
I won’t let love slip through my hands again
Keep fallin’ deeper in love
This time I’m holdin’ on to love, woo...hoo...hoo...

I’m fallin’ deeper
Fallin’ deeper

I was so lost in pride
So afraid one day I’d have to face rejection
But now I realize
That it hurts more to lock love inside, and I

Keep fallin’ deeper in love
Deeper in love, deeper in love with you
Keep fallin’ deeper in love
No matter what I do, said I

Keep fallin’ deeper in love
Love’s really got me hooked this time
Keep fallin’ deeper in love
I’m fallin’ deeper in love, said I

Keep fallin’ deeper in love
Deeper in love, deeper in love
Keep fallin’ deeper in love
I won’t let love slip through my hands again

Keep fallin’ deeper in love
Ooh...hoo...hoo...
Keep fallin’ deeper in love

Keep fallin’ deeper in love

But in God`s garden only

Deeper And Deeper


Deeper And Deeper Composer(s): Ronald Dunbar - Norma Toney - Edyth Wayne Performer(s): Freda Payne



Deeper and deeper, I'm falling in love with you
My life grows sweeter every day
There must be something in the things you do
That makes me love you in a helpless way
You're my joy, my all and all
A fountain of love that keeps me falling

Deeper and deeper in love with you
Each day gets sweeter and sweeter just being with you
I'm so in love with you

Stronger and stronger, my heart beats for you
You give me a feeling I can't explain
And every day you prove your love is true
You give me comfort like no others can
You're my dream, my one desire
You're the hope that lifts me higher

Deeper and deeper in love with you
Each day gets sweeter and sweeter just being with you

Soldiers Who Want To Be Heroes


Soldiers Who Want To Be Heroes
Composer(s): Rod McKuen
Performer(s): Rod McKuen



Soldiers Who Want To Be Heroes number practically zero
But there are millions who want to be civilians
Soldiers Who Want To Be Heroes number practically zero
But there are millions who want to be civilians

Come and take my eldest son, show him how to shoot a gun
Wipe his eyes if he starts to cry when the bullets fly
Give him a rifle, take his hoe, show him a field where he can go
To lay his body down and die without asking why

Soldiers Who Want To Be Heroes number practically zero
But there are millions who want to be civilians
Soldiers Who Want To Be Heroes number practically zero
But there are millions who want to be civilians

Sticks and stones can break your bones; even names can hurt you
But the thing that hurts the most is when a man deserts you
Don’t you think its time to weed the leaders that no longer lead
From the people of the land who’d like to see their sons again?

Soldiers Who Want To Be Heroes number practically zero
But there are millions who want to be civilians
Soldiers Who Want To Be Heroes number practically zero
But there are millions who want to be civilians

God if men could only see the lessons taught by history
That all the singers of this song cannot right a single wrong
Let all men of good will stay in the fields they have to till
Feed the mouths they have to fill and cast away their arms

Soldiers Who Want To Be Heroes number practically zero
But there are millions who want to be civilians
Soldiers Who Want To Be Heroes number practically zero
But there are millions who want to be civilians
Soldiers Who Want To Be Heroes number practically zero
But there are millions who want to be civilians
Soldiers Who Want To Be Heroes number practically zero
But there are millions who want to be civilians
Soldiers Who Want To Be Heroes number practically zero

Deep Water


Deep Water Composer(s): Alexander Performer(s): Grapefruit



Torn apart I sit and wonder
think double way and see you
Been so long since you been gone
and I just want to be near you
I'm swimming in the deep water
and I really don't think that ought to be

Understand I was the man
you wanted to be somebody
I could be too
and more for you
but without you I am no one
I'm swimming in the deep water
but I really don't think that ought to be

If you want to help someone
if you want to safe me
come on
come on
come on
come on do it
Can you hear me begging you
show a man some mercy
come on
come on
come on
come on do it

You know your fascination
brought me to you
your last inclination
I'm in deepest
deepest
deepest
deep water I am
deep water

You gave me understanding
you gave me all
and I need your help again
I'm in deepest
deepest
deepest
deep water I am - deep water - deep water
deep water I am - deep water

Answering Machine


Answering Machine
Composer(s): Rupert Holmes
Performer(s): Rupert Holmes



A little while ago I went and placed a call
To tell this girl I know that she could have it all
The wedding, the ring, the whole darn thing
I was willing to tie the knot
So I called her up, and this is the answer I got

"I'm so sorry you have just reached my answering machine
I'm not in at present, I'm sure you know the whole routine
Leave your name and number, and I'll try to get back to you
You have 30 seconds to talk to me before you're through"

And I said
"Baby let's go get married, I need to hear you're mine
I am hanging on, I am hanging on, I am hanging on this line
And if I can leave one message before you go to bed
I would say to you..."

And the phone went dead

So I stepped out to buy some dog food for the cat
Of course she called about three minutes after that
Would she be my wife and share my life?
Well of course you can write the plot
Cause she called me up, and this is the answer she got

"I'm so sorry you have just reached my answering machine
I'm not in at present, I'm sure you know the whole routine
Leave your name and number, and I'll try to get back to you
You have 30 seconds to talk to me before you're through"

And she said
"Baby I got your message, I am answering your call
I have thought it out, I have thought it out and I think that, all-in-all
If you ask if we can marry, and make it for all time then my answer is..."

and the phone went

"I'm so sorry, you have just reached my answering machine..."

With your eyes you simply called me over
And the flames of our roaring inside
Arab music play, I felt in clover

With your piercing and you make me weak
And we danced the whole night cheek to cheek

Linda Linda, my Linda
Linda Linda, I love you
The magic of your eyes
The spirit of your soul
The presence of your love
My whole life through

Deep Purple


Deep Purple
Composer(s): Mitchell Parish - Peter de Rose
First release by: Paul Whiteman and His Concert Orch. - 1934
Covered by multiple other artists



When the deep purple falls, over sleepy garden walls
And the stars begin to flicker in the sky
Through the mist of a memory, you wander back to me
Breathing my name with a sigh
In the still of the night, once again I hold you tight
Though you're gone, your love lives on
When moonlight beams
And as long as my heart will beat, lover, we'll always meet
Here in my deep purple dreams

Answer To The Master


Answer To The Master
Composer(s): Steve Clark - Joe Elliot - Rick Savage - Pete Willis
Performer(s): Def Leppard



When the night time unfolds
And the memories that you hold
Bring a light to your eyes
Though you know it's disguise
When the night turns to day
You turn around and say
Magic mirror please tell
Is this heaven or hell?

Answer to the master
Can you look to the sky?
Can you live through your lie?
Of the thoughts you can't trace
Which time can't erase

To a face on the wall
Do you often recall
What you said on the night
When the new full moon was rising?
Answer to the master
Oh yeah

When the night time unfolds
And the memories that you hold
Bring a light to your eyes
Though you know it's disguise
When the night turns to day
And you turn around and say
Magic mirror please tell
Is this heaven or hell?

Deep Inside Of You


Deep Inside Of You Composer(s): Neil Diamond - Beth Nielsen Chapman Performer(s): Neil Diamond; Beth Nielsen Chapman; Ray Grant



Good morning
I love you
Now that you're here where you belong
I want to be the man you need
Just tell me you love me
Because I need to hear it, too
Just let me be the one you carry deep inside of you

I need you beside me; the road is so long
You run through my heart
Like the words of a bitter-sweet song
I'd travel the whole world
Across the earth, around the sun
If I could be the one you carry deep inside of you

Without you beside me, the road is so long
You live in my heart
And it hurts when I think of you gone
I need you in my way
I have no right to love so true
But let me be the one, the one who lives inside of you
Just let me be the one you carry deep inside of you

Deep Inside My Heart


Deep Inside My Heart Composer(s): Eric Kaz - Randy Meisner Performer(s): Randy Meisner



I stayed up all night
Waiting for you to call
But something ain't right
Night after night
I get lonely

It's been awhile
Since I've seen that look in your eyes
Now that you're gone
I can't go on
Without you

Deep inside my heart
I had a feelin' right from the start
You didn't love me
Deep inside my heart
I had a feelin' you tore apart
You didn't want me
Like I wanted you

I turned out the light
I tossed and I turned until dawn
I couldn't sleep
And just couldn't keep
From cryin'

I'll never learn
Whatever I do I get burned
You went away
Now I face the day
Without you

It's morning I open my eyes
And everything's still the same
I turn to the guy who stayed last night
And ask him: "What's your name?"

This seems to happen more and more
I love those men one and all
Each new one I meet makes heart beat faster
When I see them so strong and tall

So many men, so little time
How can I lose?
So many men, so little time
How can I choose?

They tell me I'm up to no good
I should just settle down
But I don't wanna stay with just one man
I wanna sample what's around

Feels like I'm in heaven every night
Being here with someone new
A physical thrill, a beautiful smile
And wonderful muscles too

So many men, so little time
How can I lose?
So many men, so little time
How can I choose?

So really who cares about love?
The ones that feel, take it away
For 52 weeks of every year
That's a new man every day

It's too hard a choice to make up my mind
So many men turn on my light
Still want to go some, don't want brains
Just give me their bodies tonight

So many men, so little time
How can I lose?
So many men, so little time
How can I choose?

Just to like them by the two
No, I don't want just one
The more I have, the more the fun

Ooohooohooohooo
Ooohooohooooooo

So really who cares about love?
The ones that feel, take it away
For 52 weeks of every year
That's a new man every day

It's too hard a choice to make up my mind
So many men turn on my light
Still want to go some, don't want brains
Just give me their bodies tonight

So many men, so little time
How can I lose?
So many men, so little time
How can I choose?

So many men, so little time
How can I lose?
So many men, so little time
How can I choose?

So many men, so little time
How can I lose?
So many men, so little time

Deep In The Heart Of Texas


Deep In The Heart Of Texas Composer(s): June Hershey - Don Swander Performer(s): Bing Crosby



The stars at night are big and bright (clap, clap, clap, clap)
Deep in the heart of Texas
The prairie sky is wide and high (clap, clap, clap, clap)
deep in the heart of Texas
The sage in bloom is like perfume (clap, clap, clap, clap)
deep in the heart of Texas
Reminds me of the one I love (clap, clap, clap, clap)
deep in the heart of Texas
The coyotes wail along the trail (clap, clap, clap, clap)
deep in the heart of Texas
The rabbits rush around the brush (clap, clap, clap, clap)
deep in the heart of Texas
The cowboys cry ki yippee yi (clap, clap, clap, clap)
deep in the heart of Texas
The dawgies bawl and bawl and bawl (clap, clap, clap, clap)
deep in the heart of Texas

Answer To 'œWalking The Floor Over You'


Answer To “Walking The Floor Over You”
Composer(s): Ernest Tubb
Performer(s): Ernest Tubb



I left you and I went away the reason is needless to say
You know that I love you but it just could never be
All I ask from of dear is don’t blame it all on me

I’m walkin’ the floor same as you
What else is there for me to do
Every time I try to sleep my heartache start anew
I’m walkin’ the floor same as you

(Ah Jimmie Short walk awhile)

Now years ago I thought that love was kind
I never had a worry on my mind
But all I’ve had is trouble since the day that we first met
No matter what I tell the world you know I love you yet

I’m walkin’ the floor same as you
What else is there for me to do
Every time I try to sleep my heartache start anew
I’m walkin’ the floor same as you

(Ah here comes Jimmie again)

I pray that you’ll know in years to come
That you’re not the only lonely one
It’s tear for tear were shedding dear no matter who’s to blame
You may learn to hate me but I’ll love you just the same

I’m walkin’ the floor same as you
What else is there for me to do
Every time I try to sleep my heartache start anew
I’m walking the floor same as you
