Shilo Composer(s): Neil Diamond Performer(s): Neil Diamond; Ray Gehring



Young child with dreams Dream ev'ry dream on your own When children play seems like you end up alone Papa says he'd love to be with you If he had the time So you turn on the only friend you can find There in your mind Shilo, when I was young I used to call you name When no one else would come Shilo, you always came And we'd play Young girl with fire Something said she understood I wanted to fly She made me feel like I could Held my hand out, and I let her take me Blind as a child All I saw was the way that she made me smile She made me smile Shilo, when I was young I used to call you name When no one else would come Shilo, you always came And you'd stay Had a dream, and it filled me with wonder She had other plans Got to go, and I know that you'll understand I understand Shilo, when I was young I used to call you name When no one else would come Shilo, you always came Come today

Shield Of Faith


Shield Of Faith
Composer(s): Ron Block
Performer(s): Alison Krauss; Ernie Cox



Sometimes I'm battle weary
I forget to use my shield
The arrows pierce my armor
And I stumble in the filed

A shield won't do much good if it's hangin' by your side
Keep the shield of faith before you if you want to stay alive

I'll think my life is over
But the Lord he comes to me
He heals my wounded spirit
And he sets me on my feet

A shield won't do much good if it's hangin' by your side
Keep the shield of faith before you if you want to stay alive

Sometimes your battle weary
But the war's already won
Keep your head and hold your shield high
'Til your days of life are done

A shield won't do much good if it's hangin' by your side
Keep the shield of faith before you if you want to stay alive

Keep the shield of faith before you if you want to stay alive

She's The One You Need


She's The One You Need
Composer(s): Ian M. Camochan
Performer(s): The Vibrators



She's the one you want
She's the one you need
Yeah she's the one
The one you see in all your dreams

She's the one you wanna tell the world about
The one that you can't do without
The one who makes you pull your hair out
You're the one on her lil' roundabout

She's the one who's got you cryin'
With your head down between your knees
She's the one you need

She's the one you need
She's the one your imagination feeds
She's the one you see in all your dreams
But to her you don't mean a thing

She's the one whose got you runnin'
Like tomorrow's never comin'
She's the one you need
(Yeah)

She's the one you want
She's the one you need
Yeah, she's the one
The one your imagination feeds

She's the one you think's so perfect
The one you can't forget
You're the one caught in her net
Yeah you're the one she treats as a lil' pet

Stay home, I stay home, stay home, stay home
It's all over, the party's over!
It's all over, the party's over!
The party's over!

Okay, I'll do what you say baby, it's okay
You want breakfast in bed? You got breakfast in bed
You want me to hold all calls? I'll hold all calls
You want me to fix your hair? I'll fix your hair
You want me to fix you dinner? I'll fix you dinner
You want me to stay up late? I'll stay up late
No problem, no problem

Composer(s): Mick Jagger; Keith Richards
First release by: The Rolling Stones - 1980
Covered by multiple other artists



I'm so hot for her, I'm so hot for her
I'm so hot for her and she's so cold
I'm so hot for her, I'm on fire for her
I'm so hot for her and she's so cold

I'm the burning bush, I'm the burning fire
I'm the bleeding volcano
I'm so hot for her, I'm so hot for her
I'm so hot for her and she's so cold

Yeah, I tried re-wiring her, tried re-firing her
I think her engine is permanently stalled
She's so cold she's so cold
She's so cold cold cold
Like a tombstone
She's so cold, she's so cold
she's so cold cold cold like an ice cream cone
She's so cold she's so cold
And when I touch her my hand just froze

Yeah, I'm so hot for hot for her, I'm so hot for her
I'm so hot for her and even so
Put your hand on the heat, put your hand on the heat
Aw C'mon baby, let's go

She's so cold, she's so cold, cold, she's so c-c-c-old
But she's beautiful, though

Yeah, she's so cold

She's so cold, she's so cold
She was born in an arctic zone
She's so cold she's so cold, cold, cold
And when I touch her my hand just froze

She's so cold, she's so goddamn cold she's so
Cold cold cold she's so cold

Who would believe you were a beauty indeed
When the days get shorter and the nights get long
Lie awake when the rain comes
Nobody will know, when you're old
When you're old, nobody will know
that you was a beauty, a sweet sweet beauty
A sweet sweet beauty, but stone stone cold

You're so cold, you're so cold, cold, cold
You're so cold, you're so cold

I'm so hot for you, I'm so hot for you
I'm so hot for you and you're so cold

I'm the burning bush, I'm the burning fire
I'm the bleeding volcano

She's Single Again


She's Single Again
Composer(s): Charlie Craig; Pete McCann
Performer(s): Janie Fricke; Reba McEntire



I just gotta tell ya what I saw last night
I wished I was guessing but I know I'm right
She walked in this place with a smile on her face
and I wondered why she was alone
Every man watched as she swayed on by
The way she was looking every woman could cry
and then I saw her sit down with her lawyer and I knew what was going on

She's single again, hold on to your men
She'll make us worried wives
And bring us broken lives and heartaches that never end
She's single again
She's no woman's friend and she'd making her move
She's got nothing to lose
Look out she's single again

Tell me is this number four or is this number five
Tell me how many husbands has she buried alive
She uses the favors that the good Lord gave her with the devil's design
OOOh I know she's thinking she's on top of the world
I've seen her working and I'm warning you girls
She's single again
She's got a way with men, but she'd better get away from mine

She's single again, hold on to your men
She'll make us worried wives
And bring us broken lives and heartaches that never end
She's single again
She's no woman's friend and she'd making her move
She's got nothing to lose
Look out she's single again ...

She's Out Of My Life
Composer(s): Tom Bahler
First release by: Michael Jackson - 1979
Covered by multiple other artists



She's Out Of My Life
She's Out Of My Life
And I Don't Know Whether To Laugh Or Cry
I Don't Know Whether To Live Or Die
And It Cuts Like A Knife
She's Out Of My Life

It's Out Of My Hands
It's Out Of My Hands
To Think For Two Years She Was Here
And I Took Her For Granted I Was So Cavalier
Now The Way That It Stands
She's Out Of My Hands

So I've Learned That Love's Not Possession
And I've Learned That Love Won't Wait
Now I've Learned That Love Needs Expression
But I Learned Too Late

She's Out Of My Life
She's Out Of My Life
Damned Indecision And Cursed Pride
Kept My Love For Her Locked Deep Inside
And It Cuts Like A Knife
She's Out Of My Life

She's Only A Bird In A Gilded Cage


She's Only A Bird In A Gilded Cage
(Traditional)



She's only a bird
In a gilded cage
A beautiful sight to see
You may think she's happy
And free from care
She's not
Tho' she seems to be
'Tis sad when you think
Of her wasted life
For youth cannot mate with age
And her beauty was sold
For an old man's gold
She's a bird in a gilded cage

She's Not You

First release by: Elvis Presley - 1962
Covered by multiple other artists



Her hair is soft and her eyes are oh so blue
She's all the things a girl should be
But she's not you

She knows just how to make me laugh when I feel blue
She's ev'rything a man could want
But she's not you

And when we're dancing
It almost feels the same
I've got to stop myself from
Whisp'ring your name

She even kisses me like you used to do
And it's just breaking my heart
'cause she's not you

No one told me about her
The way she lied

How many people cried

Well, it’s too late to say you’re sorry
How would I know, why should I care
Please don’t bother trying to find her
She’s not there...oh oh oh

Nobody told me about her
What could I do
Well, nobody told me about her
Though they all knew

Well, it’s too late to say you’re sorry
How would I know, why should I care
Please don’t bother trying to find her
She’s not there....

Well, let me tell you about the way she looked
The way she acted, the color of her hair
Her voice is soft and cool
Her eyes are clear and bright
But she’s not there...

(Adapted from: She's Not There - 1964)
(French Version: Te Voilà - 1964)
Composer(s): Rod Argent; Giuseppe Cassia
Performer(s): I Kings - 1965



E' cosi' triste il tuo pianto
Ma lui non e' qui'
Tu sai capire soltanto
Che lui non e' qui'
E non importa che io ti amo
Perche' nel cuor hai solo lui
Se con gli occhi ci incontriamo
Pero' tu
Ma non e' giusto quello che fai tu
No non e' giusto di far soffrire me
Non lo aspettare piu'
Non tornera' lo sai
Mai piu' con te
Ma quello che tu non dici
Io posso capir
Lui ti farebbe felice
Ma lui non e' qui
Non ti dovrei piu' dire t'amo
Ma gia' lo so che non potrei
Non saprei pensarti mai vicino a lui
Ma non e' giusto quello che fai tu
No non e' giusto di far soffrire me
Non lo aspettare piu'
Non tornera' lo sai
Mai piu' da te
E non importa che io ti amo
Perche' nel cuor hai solo lui
Se con gli occhi ci incontriamo
Pero' tu
Ma non e' giusto quello che fai tu
No non e' giusto di far soffrire me
Non lo aspettare piu'
Non tornera' lo sai
Mai piu' da te

Composer(s): Rod Argent; Jacques Chaumelle
Performer(s): Noël Deschamps - 1964



Je suis seul avec ma peine
Quand tu n'es pas là
Et je ne suis plus le même
Quand tu n'es pas là

Mais demain
Je pourrai te dire
Combien je t'aime
Oh oui combien!
Enfin, je pourrai te dire
"Te voilà!"

Et je crierai très loin en te voyant
Et je crierai, fier, au vu de ces gens
Tant pis s'ils me croient fou
Que m'importe après tout
Tu seras là

Dans la vie tout m'indiffère
Quand tu n'es pas là
Et je ne sais plus que faire
Quand tu n'es pas là

Mais demain
Je pourrai te dire
Combien je t'aime
Oh oui combien!
Enfin, je pourrai te dire
"Te voilà!"

Et si je crie, tu ne m'en voudras pas
Et si je crie, tu crieras avec moi
Un heureux de retour
Heureux de cet amour
Nous serons là

Mais demain
Je pourrai te dire
Combien je t'aime
Oh oui combien!
Enfin, je pourrai te dire
"Te voilà!"

Et si je crie, tu ne m'en voudras pas
Et si je crie, tu crieras avec moi
Un heureux de retour
Heureux de cet amour
Nous serons là

She's Not Mine Anymore


She's Not Mine Anymore
Composer(s): Marshall Crenshaw
Performer(s): Robert Gordon



Now she's gone, it's true
I guess I always knew
That she wanted more from me
Than I had, you see
I knew what I was heading for
I got to be strong inside
'Cause it hurts my pride
To know she's not mine anymore

Well alright, okay, I tried
To make her stay
But she wanted more from me
Than I had, you see
I gave until there was no more
I'm gonna be strong somehow
'Cause it's over now
I know she's not mine anymore

I guess I'll be finding out
How to do without
The woman I was living for
I got to be strong inside
'Cause it hurts my pride
To know she's not mine anymore
She wanted more from me
Than I had, you see
And I gave until there was no more
And I'm gonna be strong somehow
'Cause it's over now
I know she's not mine... anymore

Julenissen Kommer I Kveld


Julenissen Kommer I Kveld

(Danish Version: Julemand'n Er Kommet Til By'n - 1978)
Composer(s): Fred Coots; Haven Gillespie; A. Bendiksen
Performer(s): Linn Therese



Vær flittig og snill,og ikke vær slem
Når det blir mørkt må du skynde deg hjem
Julenissen kommer i kveld
Da finner han ut hvor hen han skal dra
Hvem som skal få det de gjerne vil ha
Julenissen kommer i kveld

Han vet om alle sammen,for ingen lurer han
Han vet om du er riktig snill,så vær snill så godt du kan
Om alle kan si at du har vært grei
tror jeg nok sikkert han kommer til deg
Julenissen kommer i kveld

En lekesoldat, en dukke med hår
en kjelke med ratt og en bamse som går
julenissen kommer i kveld
En flygemaskin med trekkopp motor
en seilbåt med kjøl og skikkelig ror
julenissen kommer i kveld

I lekeland vil alle snart ha en orn'tlig fest
når det banker på, og de åpner opp for en julenissegjest
Om alle kan si at du har vært grei
tror jeg nok sikkert han kommer til deg
julenissen kommer i kveld

Julenissen kommer i kveld
(Når kommer han sa du?)

Han kommer i kveld!

She's No Lady


She's No Lady
Composer(s): Lyle Lovett
First release by: Lyle Lovett - 1987
and multiple other artists



She hates my mama
She hates my daddy too
She love to tell me
How much she hates the things I do
She loves to lie beside me almost every night
She's no lady
She's my wife

The preacher asked her
And she said I do
The preacher asked me
And she said yes he does too
The preacher said I now pronounce you 99 to the life
She's no lady, she's your wife

And I can't remember
How I met her
It's like she's always been a-hanging off my arm
And I can't remember
How I ever
Thought I couldn't live without a woman's charm

And even though
She likes to smell a Frnch perfume
And even though
She walks around in high-heel shoes
All I know
Is I'm the one who pays the price
She's no lady, she's my wife

She's Never Been Seen Since Then


She's Never Been Seen Since Then
Composer(s): Jack Cottrell
Performer(s): George Formby



It's marvellous to me the way some people lead their lives
Especially the men who've got what we call naggin' wives
And really it's quite simple folks as far as I can see
Now married men just use your brains and take a tip from me

Oh, she's never been seen since then
She's never been seen since then
My old girl, what a proper nark
I took her for a walk with me one night around the park
We were goin' by the lake and it had only just gone dark
And she's never been seen since then
No, never been seen since then

Oh, she's never been seen since then
She's never been seen since then
Her father told her that she was a pest
She ran away to London 'cause she thought it would be best
She couldn't find a room, so she stayed in a sailor's rest
And she's never been seen since then
No, never been seen since then

Oh, she's never been seen since then
Never been seen since then
Someone said, "What a silly ass"
She didn't care a bit, she had a face as bold as brass
One night she struck a match and put a penny in the gas
And she's never been seen since then
No, never been seen since then

Oh, she's never been seen since then
She's never been seen since then
My best pal, boy named Wood
Said he'd tame his ma-in-law, but found he never could
One night he took her on a bridge and someone heard a thud
And she's never been seen since then
No, never been seen since then

Oh, she's never been seen since then
She's never been seen since then
Married one year, had an awful life
Asked me how I'd like a woman like her for my wife
I said what, and you a butcher with a chopper and a knife
And she's never been seen since then
No, never been seen since then

(No!) Never been seen since then!

She’s my lovely, my Venus
And don’t you agree, sir?
She’s my lovely
Serene as any Mona Lisa
She’s the sunset hour
When nothing looks grey
She’s the one set hour
I long for each day

For she’s my lovely
A hush that brings the pearly dawning
She’s my lovely
A thrush that sings at early morning
And the loveliest thing about her, you see
Is she’s so lovely to me

She’s my lovely
A hush that brings the pearly dawning
She’s my lovely
A thrush that sings at early morning
And the loveliest thing about her, you see
Is she’s so lovely to me

She's My Girl ((Scandinavian Version: Hän Jääköön! (by New Joys) - 1968)) Composer(s): Garry Bonner - Alan Gordon First release by: The Turtles - 1967



Mornin', mornin' glory
If you'd like to know where was I last night
Well I saw a girl with a boy in her eye
And she's so out of sight
She's my girl, and that's where I was last night
Off in a dream

She's my girl I took her away last night
We went for a ride
Off in the sky that's where I was last night

I just come back to tell you
There's a little bit of heaven underneath the apple tree
And every time I see you with that smile on your face
There's a little bit there for me and
She's my girl, and that's where I was last night
Went for a ride

She's my girl, I took her away last night
We went for a ride
My girl and that's where I was last night
Off in the sky

She's my girl, I took her away last night
Off in the sky
My girl and that's where I was last night
Gettin' so high
Off in the sky that's where I was last night

She's my girl, I took her away last night
We went for a ride
My girl and that's where I was last night
Gettin' so high

My girl, I took her away last night
Off in the sky
My girl and that's where I was last night
Gettin' so high

She's My Best Friend


She's My Best Friend
Composer(s): Lou Reed
First release by: Lou Reed - 1976
Covered by multiple other artists



She's my best friend, certainly not the average girl
She's my best friend, understands me when I'm falling down
Oh, it hurts to be that way
Oh, it hurts to know that you're that kinda fellow
Here's to Newspaper Joe, dropped his teeth on the floor
Caught his hand in the door
Guess that's the way the news goes

If you want to see me
Sorry, but I'm not around
If you want to be me
Turn around, I'm by the window where the light is

She's my best friend, better than a dog or cat
She's my best friend, understands me when I'm falling down
Oh, it hurts to be that way
Oh, it hurts to know that you're that kinda fellow
Here's to Mullberry Jane, she made jam when she came
Somebody cut off her feet, now jelly rolls in the street
If you want to see me
Sorry, but I'm not around
If you want to feel me
Turn around, I'm by the window where the light is

She's my best friend, certainly not the average girl
She's my best friend, understands me when I'm falling

Falling down, Falling down ...
