The Damage Is Done
The Damage Is Done
Composer(s): Lou Gramm - Mick Jones
Performer(s): Foreigner
Is there a reason
For things that you say?
The way you're treating me
All the games I won't play
Well it's too late, no longer one
Don't want you, the damage is done
Will you miss me
When I leave you behind?
Will you tell your friends
I treated you unkind?
Well it's over now, and I'm on the run
I don't want you, the damage is done
There have been rumors
That my sense of humor is lacking in some ways
To me that's no reason, it's tantamount to treason
See what the judge has to say
You need to find someone half as blind
As I am to your games
And maybe you'll find out what it's all about
And it can drive you insane
Ooh the damage is done
And now I feel it's too late
The damage is done
It's over
Now I'm on the run
And baby you and I know
The damage is done
I feel it's too late
The damage is done

Cargo Culte
Cargo Culte
Composer(s): Serge Gainsbourg
Performer(s): Serge Gainsbourg; Jane Birkin
Je sais moi des sorciers qui invoquent les jets
Dans la jungle de Nouvelle-Guinée
Ils scrutent le zénith convoitant les guinées
Que leur rapporterait le pillage du fret
Sur la mer de corail au passage de cet
Appareil ces créatures non dénuées
De raison ces papous attendent des nuées
L'avarie du Viscount et celle du Comet
Et comme leur totem n'a jamais pu abattre
À leurs pieds ni Bœing ni même D.C. quatre
Ils rêvent de hijacks et d'accidents d'oiseaux
Ces naufrageurs naïfs armés de sarbacanes
Qui sacrifient ainsi au culte du cargo
En soufflant vers l'azur et les aéroplanes
Où es-tu Melody et ton corps disloqué
Hante-t-il l'archipel que peuplent les sirènes
Ou bien accrochés au cargo dont la sirène
D'alarme s'est tue, es-tu restée
Au hasard des courants as-tu déjà touché
Ces lumineux coraux des côtes guinéennes
Où s'agitent en vain ces sorciers indigènes
Qui espèrent encore des avions brisés
N'ayant plus rien à perdre ni Dieu en qui croire
Afin qu'ils me rendent mes amours dérisoires
Moi, comme eux, j'ai prié les cargos de la nuit
Et je garde cette espérance d'un désastre
Aérien qui me ramènerait Melody
Mineure détournée de l'attraction des astres
"Tu t'appelles comment?
Melody
Melody comment?
Melody Nelson"

From A Moving Train
From A Moving Train
Composer(s): Gerry Beckley
Performer(s): America
I've seen the ides of march
And I've seen the fall of rome
I've seen all kinds of stuff
But I never see my home
If my life-line is
These million miles of track
One thing I know by now
There is no turning back
From a moving train
From a moving train
From a moving train
From a moving train
If every venture was
A path to no avail
I'd still be rolling down
This never ending trail
If we had a destination
In our sights
We would be helpless as
We passed it in the night
From a moving train (hear the engine running)
From a moving train (you can get on board)
From a moving train (hear the motor humming)
From a moving train (see, you've gotta see the light)
And if by chance you find a woman
That you might love along the way
You better hold her tight
Tell her everything's alright
Or she might jump along the way
From a moving train (hear the engine running)
From a moving train (you can get on board)
From a moving train (hear the motor humming)
From a moving train (see, you've gotta see the light)
From a moving train (hear the engine running)
From a moving train (you can get on board)
From a moving train (hear the motor humming)
From a moving train (see, you've gotta see the light)

Fiskar'n Och Jungfrun
Fiskar'n Och Jungfrun
English Title: Bend In The Water
Composer(s): Ola Magnell; Gordon Lightfoot
Performer(s): Lill Lindfors
Kom min vän, flyg min tärna
Till mitt sommarsund
Vagga fram längs vassar och holmar
Till ett aborrgrund
Glid mot land och lys min stjärna
På min friarstråt
Vagga fram längs vassar och holmar
I din fiskebåt
Men det tar sin tid i panik och trafik
Att bli fri och få sin frid på vattnet i min vik
Vagga fram längs vassar och holmar
Till ett aborrgrund
Glid till land och lys min stjärna
Kom och sitt en stund
Drick ditt vin för en gångs skull
Utan oro för nästa dag
Se månen lika fin och full
Som du och jag är svag
Men det tar sin tid att få känna rustik
Och banal och gammal galen romantik
Kom min vän, flyg min tärna
Till mitt sommarsund
Vagga fram längs vassar och holmar
Till ett aborrgrund
Ro min vän och lys min stjärna
På min friarstråt
Vagga fram längs vassar och holmar
I din fiskebåt

The D Song
The D Song
D, D, D, D
Daddy dear, oh daddy dear
do dogs have dreams, do ducks have ears?
Do dragons dance, why do gophers dig holes?
Do gophers dress up in their dirty clothes?
Dogs dream of meat and their dreams are delicious
Ducks do have ears but they don't do the dishes
Gophers dig holes to hide their candy bars
Dragons don't dance and they don't smoke cigars
Daddy dear, oh daddy sweet
do dandylions roar, do daisies have feet?
May I have a drink of water and a dish of tadpoles?
Daddy how deep is a doughnut hole?
Dandylions roar and your daddy is deaf
The daisies drank the water and the tadpoles left
Your eyes are drooping darling daughter and you're dizzy in the head
The toads are eating dinner so it's time to go to bed
Little dolly go to bed

Carey Gully
Carey Gully
Performer(s): Bon Scott
You go down Piggy Lane through the flowers
That paint the hills as far as you can see
And that´s where I while away my hours
Hours of eternity
In a little tin shed on the hillside
Where we sit and drink our peppermint tea
And the candlelight flickers inside
`Cos we haven´t got electricity
But I know I´ve found peace in Carey Gully
And I haven´t known that state of mind before
And I sing as I walk down in the valley
`Cos those city-things don´t bother me no more
Well it´s taken such a long time to get there
And we´ve travelled a long winding road
Now I sit in my old rocking chair
And my darling I never will go
But I know I´ve found peace in Carey Gully
And I haven´t known that state of mind before
And I sing as I walk down in the valley
`Cos those city-things don´t bother me no more
No, those city-things don´t bother me no more

Well my sweet baby wears fishnet stockings
When she starts a rockin' there ain't no stoppin'
Singing wop bop a doo dop fishnet stockings
Shoo wop a doo dop when she's rockin'
Bop bop a doo dop there ain't no stoppin'
Rockin' with my baby in her fishnet stockings
Well she's got a pair in pink
She's got a pair in red
When she puts the black ones she makes me loose my head
Singing wop bop a doo dop fishnet stockings
Shoo wop a doo dop when she's rockin'
Bop bop a doo dop there ain't no stoppin'
Rockin' with my baby in her fishnet stockings
One time
Well she's got a pair in pink
She's got a pair in red
When she puts the black ones she makes me loose my head
Singing wop bop a doo dop fishnet stockings
Shoo wop a doo dop when she's rockin'
Bop bop a doo dop there ain't no stoppin'
Rockin' with my baby in her fishnet stockings
Rock it again now
Well my sweet baby wears fishnet stockings
When she starts a rockin' there ain't no stoppin'
Singing wab bop a doo dop fishnet stockings
Shoo wop a doo dop when she's rockin'
Bop bop a doo dop there ain't no stoppin'
Rockin' with my baby in her fishnet stockings

The Curtain Falls
The Curtain Falls
Composer(s): Sol Weinstein
Performer(s): Bobby Darin
and multiple other artists
Off comes the makeup, off comes the clown's disguise
The curtain's falling, the music softly dies
But I hope you're smiling as you're filing out the door
As they say in this biz that's all there is, there isn't any more
We've shared our moment, and as the moment ends
I've got a funny feeling we're parting now as friends
Your cheers and laughter will linger
After they've torn down these dusty walls
If I had this to do again
And the evening were new again
I would spend it with you again
But now the curtain falls
People say I was made for this
Nothing else would I trade for this
And just think I get paid for this
Good night, Ladies and Gentlemen and God love you

Careless Memories
Careless Memories
Composer(s): Simon LeBon - Nick Rhodes - Andy Taylor - John Taylor - Roger Taylor
First release by: Duran Duran - 1981
So soon
just after you've gone
my senses sharpen
But it always takes
so damned long
before I feel how much
my eyes have darkened
Fear hangs a plane of gunsmoke
drifting in our room
so easy to disturb
with a thought
with a whisper...
with a careless memory
On the table
signs of love lie scattered...
and the walls break
with a crashing within
It's not as though
as though you really mattered
But being close
how could I let you go
without some feeling
some precious sympathy following
Fear hangs a plane of gunsmoke
drifting in our room
so easy to disturb
with a thought
with a whisper...
with a careless memory
I walk out into the sun
I try to find a new day
but the whole place
it just screams in my eyes
where are you now?
cuz I don't want to meet you
I think I'd die
I think I'd laugh at you
I think I'd cry
What am I supposed to do
follow you?
Outside the thoughts
come flooding back now...
I just try to forget you...
So easy to disturb
with a thought...
with a whisper...
with a careless memory...

Fishin' In The Dark
Composer(s): Wendy Waldman; Jim Photoglo
Performer(s): The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band;
and various other artists
Lazy yellow moon comin' up tonite
shinin' thru the trees
Crickets are singin' and lightning bugs
are floatin on the breeze
Baby get ready.....
Across the field where the creek turns back by
the ole stump road
I'm gonna take you to a special place that
nobody knows
Baby get ready.....
OooooooOooo
You and me going fishing in the dark
Lying on our backs and counting the stars
Where the cool grass grows
Down by the river in the full moon light
We'll be fallin' in love in the middle of the night
Just movin' slow...
Stayin' the whole night thru
feels so good to be with you...
Spring is almost over and the summer's come
and the days are gettin' long
Waited all winter for the time to be right
just to take you along
Baby get ready.....
And it don't matter if we sit forever and the fish don't bite
Jump in the river and cool ourselves from the heat of the night
Baby get ready.....
OoooooooOoo.
Repeat Chorus (x3)
You and me going fishin' in the dark!

Composer(s): Henry Fink - Al Piantadosi
Performer(s): Will Oakland
and multiple other artists
You made me what I am today, I hope you're satisfied
You dragged and dragged me down until the soul within me died
You've shattered each and every dream, fooled me right from the start
And though you're not true, may God bless you
That's the curse of an aching heart
You made me what I am today, I should hope you're satisfied
You dragged, you dragged me down until the soul within me died
You've shattered each and every dream, you fooled me right from the start
And although you're not true, may God bless you
That's the curse of an aching heart
You made me what I am today
I hope you're satisfied
You dragged me down and down until
the soul within me died
You shattered each and every hope
I loved you from the start
And although, you're not true, May God bless you
That's the curse of an aching heart

Curragh Of Kildare
Curragh Of Kildare
(Traditional)
Performer(s): Christy Moore
and multiple other artists
The winter it is past and the summer's come at last
The birds they are singing in the trees
Their little hearts are glad, but mine is very sad
For my true love is far away from me
And straight I will repair to the Curragh of Kildare
For it's there I'll find tidings of my dear
The rose upon the briar by the water running clear
Brings joy to the linnet and the deer
Their little hearts are blessed, but mine know no rest
For my true love is far away from me
And straight I will repair to the Curragh of Kildare
For it's there I'll find tidings of my dear
A livery I will wear and I'll comb back my hair
And in velvet so green I will appear
And straight I will repair to the Curragh of Kildare
For it's there I'll find tidings of my dear
And straight I will repair to the Curragh of Kildare
For it's there I'll find tidings of my dear
I'll wear a cap of black with some frills around my neck
Golden rings on my fingers I will wear
Oh yes, this I'll undertake for my own true lover's sake
For he lives in the Curragh of Kildare
And straight I will repair to the Curragh of Kildare
For it's there I'll find tidings of my dear
Oh, you who are in love and cannot it remove
I pity the pain you do endure
For experience lets me know that your hearts are full of woe
Yes, a woe that no other can cure
And straight I will repair to the Curragh of Kildare
For it's there I'll find tidings of my dear

First release by: Mel Tormé - 1949
Covered by multiple other artists
I let my heart fall into careless hands
Careless hands broke my heart in two
You held my dreams like worthless grains of sand
Careless hands don't care when dreams slip through
I brought you joy
And girl I loved you so
But all that sunshine didn't make the roses grow
If you don't change
Someday you'll know the sorrow of careless hands
That can't hold onto love
I let my heart fall into careless hands
Careless hands broke my heart in two
You held my dreams like worthless grains of sand
Careless hands don't care when dreams slip through
I brought you joy
And dear I loved you so
But all that sunshine didn't make the roses grow
If you don't change
Someday you'll know the sorrow of careless hands
That can't hold onto love
Careless hands that can't hold onto love
Talking 'bout those hands
That can't hold onto love
Talking 'bout those hands
That can't hold onto love

But when they `eard me Uncle shoutin' out aloud there
They come to see what all the blinkin' noise was for
From Acton Town to `Ackney Wick an' all around
They flocked to Uncle's like it was a football ground
A fish `e didn't sell, but still they paid `im well
Just to `ear `is great new sound………

An' offered him a concert at the Albert `All

It's just because me voice is everybody's choice
Would you like to `ear it?" ………

Performer(s): Ernest Tubb
and multiple other artists
You said you'd love me and me alone
And that you'd always by mine my own
But someone new came and you did not
Care to remember so you forgot
Oh Careless Darlin', how carelessly
You broke the vow that you made to me
With all my heart I believed in you
But Careless Darlin' you were untrue
Your last goodbye will forever ring
Within my ear and will heartaches bring
I kept my promise, I kept my vow
But you kept nothing it's so plain now
Oh Careless Darlin', how carelessly
You broke the vow that you made to me
With all my heart I believed in you
But Careless Darlin' you were untrue
Now if tomorrow these bygone years
These olden mem-ries should bring you tears
Think of our parting that luckless day
You carelessly threw my love away
Oh Careless Darlin', how carelessly
You broke the vow that you made to me
With all my heart I believed in you
But Careless Darlin' you were untrue
