Glad To Be Unhappy
Glad To Be Unhappy
Composer(s): Richard Rodgers; Lorenz Hart
Performer(s): The Mamas & The Papas;
and various other artists
Fools rush in, so here I am
Awfully glad to be unhappy
I can't win but here I am
More than glad to be unhappy
Unrequited love's a bore, yeah
And I've got it pretty bad
But for someone you adore
It's a pleasure to be sad
Like a straying baby lamb
With no mama and no papa
I'm so unhappy, yeah
Unrequited love's a bore, yeah
And I've got it pretty bad
But for someone you adore
It's a pleasure to be sad
Like a straying baby lamb
With no mama and no papa
I'm so unhappy, yeah
But oh so glad

Talk Talk
Talk Talk
Composer(s): Sean Bonniwell
First release by: The Music Machine - 1966
Covered by multiple other artists
I got me a complication
And it's an only child
Concernin' my reputation
As something more than wild
I know it serves me right
But I can't sleep at night
Have to hide my face
Or go some other play-ay-ay-ay-ay-ace
I won't cry out for justice
Admit that I was wrong
I'll stay in hibernation
'Til the talk subsides to gone
My social life's a dud
My name is really mud
I'm up to here in lies
Guess I'm down to size
To size
Can't seem to talk about
The things that bother me
Seems to be
What everybody has
Against me
Oh, oh, all right
Here's the situation
And how it really stands
I'm out of circulation
I've all but washed my hands
My social life's a dud
My name is really mud
I'm up to here in lies
Guess I'm down to size
To size

Composer(s): Jeff Lynne
Originally performed by: Electric Light Orchestra
Covered by various other artists
Sun is shinin' in the sky
There ain't a cloud in sight
It's stopped rainin'
Everybody's in a play
And don't you know
It's a beautiful new day
Runnin' down the avenue
See how the sun shines brightly
In the city on the streets
Where once was pity
Mr. Blue Sky is living here today
Mr. Blue Sky, please tell us why
You had to hide away
For so long where did we go wrong
Hey there Mr. Blue
We're so pleased to be with you
Look around see what you do
Everybody smiles at you
Hey you with the pretty face
Welcome to the human race
A celebration Mr. Blue Sky's
Up there waitin' and today
Is the day we've waited for
Mr. Blue Sky, please tell us why
You had to hide away
For so long where did we go wrong
Mr. Blue you did it right
But soon comes Mr. Night
Creepin' over, now his
Hand is on your shoulder
Never mind I'll remember you this way
Mr. Blue Sky, please tell us why
You had to hide away
For so long where did we go wrong

Glad Rags
Glad Rags
Composer(s): Johnny Bond
Performer(s): Johnny Bond;
Jimmy Dean; Mac Wiseman
Now honey, you do the dishes and I'll feed the old sow
Also the chickens and our one Jersey cow
Take down yur curlers and powder your nose
Big time at Jones' place, so wear your best clothes
There'll be no evening gowns, not even a tux
They'll come in wagons, buggies and pick-up trucks
We'll do square dancin' under kerosine light
We'll wear glad rags tonight, my honey
We'll wear glad rags tonight
Big time at Jones' place, so wear your best clothes
Silvester comin', hum and fiddle a tune
Red headed kids will swipe away his spittoon
Then run and hide behind a bale of hay
But that old sittin' hen will scare 'em away
Look for me beside the old cider keg
I'll set my cup down and we'll both shake a leg
Never a ballroom had a prettier sight
We'll wear glad rags tonight, my honey
We'll wear glad rags tonight

Tales Of Brave Ulysses
Tales Of Brave Ulysses
Composer(s): Eric Clapton - Martin Sharp
First release by: Cream - 1967
Covered by multiple other artists
You thought the leaden winter would bring you down forever
But you rode upon a steamer to the violence of the sun
And the colours of the sea blind your eyes with trembling mermaids
And you touch the distant beaches with tales of brave Ulysses
How his naked ears were tortured by the sirens sweetly singing
For the sparkling waves are calling you to kiss their white-laced lips
And you see a girl's brown body dancing through the turquoise
And her footprints make you follow where the sky loves the sea
And when your fingers find her, she drowns you in her body
Carving deep blue ripples in the tissues of your mind
The tiny purple fishes run laughing through your fingers
And you want to take her with you to the hard land of the winter
Her name is Aphrodite and she rides a crimson shell
And you know you cannot leave her for you touched the distant sands
With tales of brave Ulysses; how his naked ears were tortured
By the sirens sweetly singing
The tiny purple fishes run laughing through your fingers
And you want to take her with you to the hard land of the winter

Mr. Blue
Mr. Blue
Composer(s): DeWayne Blackwell
Originally performed by: The Fleetwoods
Covered by various other artists
Our guardian star lost all his glow
The day that I lost you
He lost all his glitter the day you said "No"
And his silver turned to blue
Like him, I am doubtful that your love is true
But if you decide to call on me
Ask for Mr. Blue
I'm Mr. Blue (wah-a-wah-ooh)
When you say you love me (ah, Mr. Blue)
Then prove it by goin' out on the sly
Provin' your love isn't true
Call me Mr. Blue
I'm Mr. Blue (wah-a-wah-ooh)
When you say you're sorry (ah, Mr. Blue)
Then turn around, head for the lights of town
Hurtin' me through and through
Call me Mr. Blue
I stay at home at night (I stay at home)
Right by the phone at night (right by the phone)
But you won't call
And I-I won't hu-urt my pride (call me Mr.)
I won't tell you (wah-a-wah-ooh)
Why you paint the town (ah, Mr. Blue)
A bright red to turn it upside down
I'm paintin' it too
But I'm paintin' it blue
Call me Mr. Blue (wah-a-wah-ooh)
Call me Mr. Blue (wah-a-wah-ooh)
Call me Mr. Blue

Tal Vez Cheché
Performer(s): Jaime Roos
Allá en el cielo te están llamando
Y en una de esas lo vas a oír
Allá en el suelo te están llamando
Y en una de esas vas a morir
Tal vez Cheché
Te digo che
Allá en el viento te estás buscando
Y en una de esas anunciarán
Que el jugador seguirá en el campo
Aunque sus alas no quieran más
Tal vez Cheché
Te digo che
Y cuando nadie recuerde tu alma
Cuando se incendie una catedral
Manos de fuego abrirán tus alas
Y tu graznido renacerá
Tal vez Cheché
Te digo che
Fénix Fénix
No baja

(Oh yeah, ooh)
Mr. Big Stuff
Who do you think you are
Mr. Big Stuff
You're never gonna get my love
Now because you wear all those fancy clothes (oh yeah)
And have a big fine car, oh yes you do now
Do you think I can afford to give you my love (oh yeah)
You think you're higher than every star above
Mr. Big Stuff
Who do you think you are
Mr. Big Stuff
You're never gonna get my love
Now I know all the girls I've seen you with
I know you broke their hearts one after another now, bit by bit
You made 'em cry, many poor girls cry
When they try to keep you happy, they just try to keep you satisfied
Mr. Big Stuff, tell me tell me
Who do you think you are
Mr. Big Stuff
You're never gonna get my love
I'd rather give my love to a poor guy that has a love that's true (oh yeah)
Than to be fooled around and get hurt by you
'Cause when I give my love, I want love in return (oh yeah)
Now I know this is a lesson Mr. Big Stuff you haven't learned
Mr. Big Stuff, tell me
Who do you think you are
Mr. Big Stuff
You're never gonna get my love

You're never gonna break my heart

You're never gonna make me cry

Just who do you think you are
Mr. Big Stuff
You're never gonna get my love

Golden Smog; Ian McLagan; Susan Voelz
Thank you kindly for thinking of me
If I'm not smiling I'm just thinking
Glad and sorry, happy or sad
When all is done and spoken
You're up or I'm down
Can you show me a dream
Can you show me one that's better than mine
Can you stand it in the cold light of day
Neither can I
Can you show me a dream
Can you show me one that's better than mine
Can you stand it in the cold light of day
Neither can I

Tal Vez
Tal Vez
Performer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute
Qué hacer cuando ser uno mismo
es cine de terror
qué hacer cuando el deseo
es policía del amor
qué hacer cuando es un éxito
matar al perdedor
qué hacer cuando la máscara
le sobra al impostor
Tal vez huir
huir a la vida
tal vez vivir
vivir en la huida
tal vez
Qué hacer cuando mirar no es ver
aquello que se ve
qué hacer cuando el futuro
es un espejo en la pared.
qué hacer cuando el mercado
de almas es dogma de fe
qué hacer cuando ser libre
es preguntarse: ¿para qué?
Tal vez huir...
Qué hacer cuando los héroes
persiguen un balón
qué hacer cuando es anónima
la carne de cañón
qué hacer cuando los monstruos
se han cargado de razón
qué hacer cuando el latido
ya dispara al corazón
Tal vez huir...

Taking The Chance
Taking The Chance
Composer(s): Graham Russell
Performer(s): Air Supply
You're in-between a page of life you never dreamed
The answer won't come from that magazine
This time it's real and you're not sure just what to feel
Who can I trust to say
Should I give love now should I take love now
I'm taking the chance
And giving myself to you
If something's not right then tell me I'm wrong
I just want our love to carry on
Sometimes the fear of losing you has been so near
I needed to make this choice on my own
To let love in when I'm so scared when things begin
Don't ever run away I feel close to you now
You know I need you now
I'm taking the chance
And giving myself to you
If something's not right then tell me I'm wrong
I just want our love to carry on
I'm taking the chance
I can't let this feeling leave
I don't want those nights of waiting so long
I'm taking the chance before it's gone
Taking the chance
Taking the chance
Taking the chance
Taking the chance
On you
I'm taking the chance
I can't let this feeling leave
I don't want those nights of waiting so long
I'm taking the chance before it's gone

Mr. Bad Example
Mr. Bad Example
Composer(s): Jorge Calderon; Warren Zevon
Performer(s): Warren Zevon
I started as an altar boy working at the church
Learning all my holy moves doing some research
Which led me to a cash box labelled "Children's Fund"
I'd leave the change and tuck the bills inside my cumberbund
I got a part-time job at my father's carpet store
Laying tackless stripping and housewives by the score
I loaded up their furniture and took it to Spokane
Auctioned off every last naugahyde divan
I'm very well acquainted with the seven deadly sins
I keep a busy schedule trying to fit them in
I'm proud to be a glutton and I don't have time for sloth
I'm greedy and I'm angry and I don't care who I cross
I'm, intruder in the dirt
I llike to have a good time and I don't care who gets hurt
I'm, take a look at me
I'll live to be a hundred and go down in history
Of course I went to law school and got a law degree
And counselled all my clients to plead insanity
Then worked in hair replacement swindling the bald
Where very few are chosen, fewer still are called
Then on to Monte Carlo play chemin de fer
I threw away the fortune I made transplanting hair
I put my last few francs down on a prostitute
Who took me up to her room to perform the flag salute
Whereupon I stole her passport and her wig
And headed for the airport and the midnight flight, you dig?
Fourteen hours later I was down in Adelaide
Looking through the want ads sipping Foster's in the shade
I opened up an agency somewhere down the line
To hire aboriginals to work the opal mines
But I attached their wages and took a whopping cut
And whisked away their workman's comp and pauperized the lot
I'm, intruder in the dirt
I llike to have a good time and I don't care who gets hurt
I'm, take a look at me
I'll live to be a hundred and go down in history
I bought a first class ticket on Malaysian Air
Landed in Sri Lanka none the worse for wear
I'm thinking of retiring from all my dirty deals
See you in the next life, wake me up for meals

Ain't no doubt about it
Ain't no doubt about it, this must be love
One little kiss from you and I feel glad all over
Ooh baby, hot-dang-dilly, it's so silly but I'm glad all over
I got goose pimples baby, 'cause it feels so good
When you cuttle me like you do and I feel glad all over
Ooh mercy, I'm a real cool pappy and I'm happy
And I'm glad all over
Well your touch goes through me like electric fire
Well, every part of me glows
It don't take much lookin' to see what I got
'Cause it shows, shows!
Come on honey please one more time
Everytime you do, well I feel glad all over
Ooh mercy, hot-dang-dilly, it's so silly but I'm glad all over
Well I'm tryin' to tell you I'm cookin' inside
When we're cheek to cheek
Temperature's low but my fever is hot
I can't speak, I'm so weak
Come on honey-bunny kiss me one more time
Everytime you do, well I feel glad all over
Ooh mercy, hot-dong-dilly, it's so silly but I'm glad all over
Hot-dang-dilly, it's so silly but I'm glad all over
Ooh, hot-dang-dilly, it's so silly but I'm glad all over

Mr. Apollo
Mr. Apollo
Composer(s): Vivian Stanshall; Neil Innes
Performer(s): The Bonzo Dog Band
I have seen Mr. Apollo uproot trees with his bare hands
I have seen Mr. Apollo's body-building plan
He's the strongest man the world has ever seen
And if you take his courses, he'll make you big and rough
And-- and you can beat up bullies until they cry
"oh lor'!
Oh, crikey let go, you rotter
Don't punish me!"
And you're tough (You're very fit)
Your voice is gruff (It sounds like grit)
You are so strong (and proud of it)
Thanks to Mr. Apollo
Follow Mr. Apollo
Everybody knows he's the greatest benefactor of mankind
Follow Mr. Apollo
Everybody knows that a healthy body makes a healthy mind
You know
He's the strongest man the world has ever seen
And if you take his courses, he'll make you big and rough
And-- you can kick the sand right back in their faces
Kick! (laugh)
Chorus
(Chorus In Background)
Yes
Just give me ten years of your life
and I'll trade in that puny flab for living muscle
The physique you deserve!
Strong
Chesty shoulders to hold your shirt up (He can do it for you)
Five years ago, I was a four-stone apology
Today, I am two separate gorillas
No tiresome excercises
No tricks
No unpleasant bending
Wrestle poodles and win!
Play beachball!
Shave your legs (Yes, he can do it for you)
Knock over walls
Tease people!
Brush them aside as though they were matchsticks
Impress your friends
