Glory Glory

Glory Glory
Composer(s): Eddie Brigati; Felix Cavaliere
Performer(s): The Rascals

I saw a child
He was carrying a light
I asked where it came from
He blew it right out
His eyes looked into me
His voice was a song
He said tell me tell me do you
Know where it's gone

(Chorus)
Glory, Glory
My eyes have seen the mountain
My soul can sing the song
Glory, Glory
Singing Hallelujah
The truth is marching on

Every morn' the sun lights us all
The trees ask for nothing
They just let their fruit fall
Fire's the same no matter
What the source
The flame of life burns on
It's never, never lost

(Repeat chorus)

Mr. Monday

Mr. Monday
Composer(s): Dennis Lambert; Brian Potter

He gets up at eight o’clock
On cold clear winter days
He eats his food at half past eight
And clears the pots away
He drives his car in the city streets
And he meets along the way
A lot of tall dark people
Who stand there all the day
He’s Mister Monday
He works all day from nine to five
He’s Mister Monday
He lives alone in the city
I see him in the evening
I pass him at the door
I say, “Hello, how are you?”
And I know he’s very poor
He looks at the street through his window
He watches the people pass by
He loves little dogs and children
And he never tells a lie
He’s Mister Monday ...

Glory Of Love

Glory Of Love
Composer(s): Peter Cetera;
David Foster; Diane Nini
Performer(s): Peter Cetera

Tonight it's very clear
Cause we're both lying here
There's so many things I wanna say
I will always love you
I will never leave you alone
Sometimes I just forget, say things I might regret
It breaks my heart to see you crying
I don't want to lose you
I could never make it alone

I am a man who would fight for your honor
I'll be the hero you're dreaming of
We'll live forever knowing together
That we did it all for the glory of love

You keep me standing tall
You help me through it all
I'm always strong when you're beside me
I have always needed you
I could never make it alone

I am a man who would fight for your honor
I'll be the hero you've been dreaming of
We'll live forever knowing together
That we did it all for the glory of love

It's like a knight in shining armor
From a long time ago
Just in time I will save the day
Take you to my castle far away

I am the man who will fight for your honor
I'll be the hero that you're dreaming of
We're gonna live forever knowing together
That we did it all for the glory of love

We live forever knowing together
That we did it all for the glory of love

We did it all for love
We did it all for love
We did it all for love
We did it all for love...

glory days in the wink of a young girls eye
glory days, glory days

well there's a girl that lives up the block
back in school she could turn all the boys heads
sometimes on a Friday I'll stop by
and have a few drinks after she put her kids to bed
her and her husband Bobby, well they split up
I guess its two years gone by now
we just sit around talking about the old times
she says when she feels like crying
she starts laughing, thinking about

But darling, so am I

All the sun on the outside

Gettin' stronger & stronger

Glory bound to that everlastin' feelin'
Glory bound, oh I'm never never comin' down

It's 5:00 in the mornin'

If I'm with you it's a sunny day
You make me feel so close to heaven
Whenever I'm beside you

I need the comfort I see in your smile
I need the touch of your hand
Come on & bring out the best in me, girl
Don't you know that you can

Talking World War III Blues

Talking World War III Blues
Composer(s): Bob Dylan
Performer(s): Bob Dylan

Some time ago a crazy dream came to me
I dreamt I was walkin' into World War Three
I went to the doctor the very next day
To see what kinda words he could say
He said it was a bad dream
I wouldn't worry 'bout it none, though
They were my own dreams and they're only in my head

I said "Hold it, Doc, a World War passed through my brain"
He said "Nurse, get your pad, this boy's insane"
He grabbed my arm, I said "Ouch!"
As I landed on the psychiatric couch
He said "Tell me about it"

Well, the whole thing started at 3 o'clock fast
It was all over by quarter past
I was down in the sewer with some little lover
When I peeked out from a manhole cover
Wondering who turned the lights on

Well, I got up and walked around
And up and down the lonesome town
I stood a-wondering which way to go
I lit a cigarette on a parking meter
And walked on down the road
It was a normal day

Well, I rung the fallout shelter bell
And I leaned my head and I gave a yell
"Give me a string bean, I'm a hungry man"
A shotgun fired and away I ran
I don't blame them too much though
I know I look funny

Down at the corner by a hot-dog stand
I seen a man, I said, "Howdy friend
I guess there's just us two"
He screamed a bit and away he flew
Thought I was a Communist

Well, I spied a girl and before she could leave
"Let's go and play Adam and Eve"
I took her by the hand and my heart it was thumpin'
When she said, "Hey man, you crazy or sumpin'
You see what happened last time they started"

Well, I seen a Cadillac window uptown
And there was nobody aroun'
I got into the driver's seat
And I drove 42nd Street
In my Cadillac
Good car to drive after a war

Well, I remember seein' some ad
So I turned on my Conelrad
But I didn't pay my Con Ed bill
So the radio didn't work so well
Turned on my player
It was Rock-A-Day, Johnny singin'
"Tell Your Ma, Tell Your Pa
Our Loves Are Gonna Grow Ooh-wah, Ooh-wah"

I was feelin' kinda lonesome and blue
I needed somebody to talk to
So I called up the operator of time
Just to hear a voice of some kind
"When you hear the beep
It will be three o'clock"
She said that for over an hour
And I hung it up

Well, the doctor interrupted me just about then
Sayin, "Hey I've been havin' the same old dreams
But mine was a little different you see
I dreamt that the only person left after the war was me
I didn't see you around"

Well, now time passed and now it seems
Everybody's having them dreams
Everybody sees themselves walkin' around with no one else
Half of the people can be part right all of the time
Some of the people can be all right part of the time
But all the people can't be all right all the time
I think Abraham Lincoln said that
"I'll let you be in my dreams if I can be in yours"
I said that

Originally performed by: Bobby Vinton

Lonely, I'm Mr. Lonely
I have nobody for my own
I am so lonely, I'm Mr. Lonely
Wish I had someone to call on the phone

Now I'm a soldier, a lonely soldier
Away from home through no wish of my own
That's why I'm lonely, I'm Mr. Lonely
I wish that I could go back home

Letters, never a letter
I get no letters I the mail
I've been forgotten, yes, forgotten
Oh how I wonder, how is it I failed

Now I'm a soldier, a lonely soldier
Away from home through no wish of my own
That's why I'm lonely, I'm Mr. Lonely
I wish that I could go back home

First release by: Crystal Gayle - 1978
Covered by multiple other artists

Three o'clock in the morning
And it looks like it's gonna be another sleepless night
I've been listenin' to your dreams and gettin' very low
Wondering what I can do

Maybe I'm being foolish
'Cause I haven't heard you mention anybody's name at all
How I wish I could be sure it's me that turns you on
Each time you close your eyes
I've heard it said that dreamers never lie

You've been talkin' in your sleep
Sleepin' in your dreams
Wish some sweet lover
Holdin' on so tight loving her the way
You used to love me
Talkin' in your sleep with lovin' on your mind

Gloria (Italian Version - Umberto Tozzi)

Gloria
Composer(s): Umberto Tozzi
Performer(s): Umberto Tozzi

Gloria
manchi tu nell'aria
manchi ad una mano
che lavora piano
manchi a questa bocca
che cibo piu non tocca
e sempre questa storia
che lei la chiamo Gloria
Gloria sui tuoi fianchi
la mattina nasce il sole
entra odio ed esce amore
dal nome Gloria
Gloria manchi tu nell'aria
manchi come il sale
mi manchi piu del sole
sciogli questa neve
che soffoca il mio petto
t'aspetto Gloria
Gloria chiesa di campagna
acqua nel deserto
lascio aperto il cuore
scappa senza far rumore
dal lavore dal tuo letto
dai gradini di un altare
ti aspetto Gloria
Gloria per chi attende il giorno
e invece di dormire
con la memoria torna
a un tuffo nei papaveri
in una terra libera
per chi respira nebbia
per chi respira rabbia
per me che senza Gloria
con te nuda sul divano
faccio stelle di cartone
pensando a Gloria

Talking Guitar Blues

Talking Guitar Blues
Composer(s): Ernest Tubb
Performer(s): Lonnie Donegan

‘Ere, if you wanna get in trouble
Let me tell you how to do it
Get yourself a guitar and then you’re right into it
You play all day and you play all night
People say you’ll never learn to play the thing right
Always messing about, groaning at you
Moaning, won’t let you practise

So I bought meself a guitar about a year ago
The man said I could learn it in a week or so
Gave me a little book, pick or two
Said ‘here y’are mate, it’s up to you’
Dirty rotter, cost me ten nicker, all the loot I had
Good guitar, though – call it a pluckit

Anyway, spent me dough
And I couldn’t let it all go to waste, you know
So I took the book, guitar, and all
And I went back home where the trees are tall
Down in Woodford - good place to be if you’ve got a guitar
Pretty rotten if you ain’t

Well, for weeks and weeks I worked hard
And I tried to learn a few main chords
Book says they’re easy as ABC
Cor, my fingers is killing me
Got sore on the ends
Couldn’t hold the strings down
Wanted to pack up, cor, I felt rough

Anyway, kept on playing with all me might
I could see mum’s hair was turning white
And her face was lined with discontent
She said her patience was pretty near spent
She was nervous, ears ringing, wanted to scream
You know, couldn’t get no relief

So sister, anyway, she took it worst of all
‘Cause she got married the following fall
She said ‘for love’ but I got me doubts
I think the guitar chased her out
She’s a game girl, though
Just couldn’t take it, you know
Limit to everything

Dad, he took it a different way
He said, you can turn your mum’s hair grey
Drive your sister away from home
But you or me boy’s gonna start to roam
And I ain’t going - never intend to
You figure it out – so I did, fast, you know

Anyway, next day had me clothes all packed
And I slung me guitar across me back
Caught meself a great long train
Searched the world for me share of fame
Ain’t found none - just hardships, messing about

Told it in the words of a song
So I will have another drink to the jukebox

Gloria (English Version - Laura Branigan)

Gloria
Composer(s): Giancarlo Bigazzi; Umberto Tozzi
Performer(s): Laura Branigan

Gloria, you're always on the run now
Running after somebody
you gotta get him somehow
I think you've got to slow down
before you start to blow it
I think you're headed for a breakdown
so be careful not to show it

You really don't remember
was it something that he said?
Are the voices in your head
calling, Gloria?
Gloria, don't you think you're fallin'?
If everybody wants you,
why isn't anybody callin'?
You don't have to answer
Leave them hangin' on the line
Oh oh oh
calling Gloria

Gloria, Gloria!
I think they got your number, Gloria!
I think they got the alias, Gloria!
that you've been living under Gloria!
But you really don't remember
was it something that they said?
Are the voices in your head calling, Gloria?

Ha ha, a ha ha, Gloria
how's it gonna go down?
Will you meet him on the main line
or will you catch him on the rebound?
Will you marry for the money
take a lover in the afternoon?
Feel your innocence slipping away
don't believe it's comin' back soon

And you really don't remember
was it something that he said?
Are the voices in your head calling
Gloria?
Gloria, don't you think you're fallin'?
If everybody wants you
why isn't anybody callin'?
You don't have to answer
Leave them hangin'
on the line, oh oh oh
calling Gloria

Talkin' Silver Cloud Blues

Talkin' Silver Cloud Blues
Composer(s): Gordon Lightfoot
Performer(s): John D. Loudermilk

I've been singing rock most all my life
I got three little boys and a sweet young wife
I feed 'em good cause I make good bread
Thank God for the man that said
Rock 'n' roll is the answer son
You can't beat 'em join 'em
Get your guitar get your drum
Get your set of iron ear drums
A thousand watt column
And you're in the business son
Got my first Cadillac in '54
Since then I had about five more
Mercedez Benz and a Porsche too
The other day I was thinking this wouldn't do
Cause the price of a Cadillac times two
Comes out to the cost of a Rolls Royce new
But soon the Cadillac's obsolete
And the Rolls Royce is still a running sleek
Figure four years instead of two
Before you gotta buy something new
Put an extra fifteen hundred in
to pay for the bar and air-conditionin'
You don't need no chauffer
Get your bartender and ride baby

So the other day I drove down from the hill
Went to my bank to get me some bills
And boots and Levi's worn and tan
I ambled into the Rolls Royce stand
Showroom four was quiet that day
I walked up to a silver grey
Silver Cloud all sleek and long
Standin' there loose and so alone
Such a beautiful sight I never did see
Sparkled and shone like a Christmas tree
He was really something to admire
I moved in close and I kicked the tire
Had to get some attention, I got some quickly
Well I was comin' my hair down in the chrome
When up steps a man in a herring bone
Said good morning son may I help you
I said yes sir I'd like to testdrive
This new Silver Cloud II
Well he jumped back his face was sore
He looked me over from my head to my toe
His face formed into a sneer
He said sorry kid this car stays here
And don't you kick tose tires
Don't open the doors, don't touch the chrome
You're gettin' dandruff on the radiator

Well I got put on for an hour or more
They ushered me in the bossman's door
It wasn't long till I came out
The bossman followed up with a shout
Open the door there look alive
And take this boy for a testdrive
In the silver grey Silver Cloud
The little cat's loaded
Lumps in is clothes, gotta look for those
How do you think I got where I am today hmm
Now I'm driving along ole 501
Listening to them big wheels hum
Gotta get home before it's five
Take my wife and kids for a drive
Now the moral is the part that's best
Never judge a man by the way he is dressed
Don't you brush him off or treat him wrong
He may be the singer of rock songs
Don't you forget it

What's that pounding noise what's burning
Well the temperature is up and the oil is down
Termites running around and around on my dashboard
Spots on my windshield... trading time

Eng. Songs
