Caribbean Queen (No More Love On The Run)
Caribbean Queen (No More Love On The Run)
Composer(s): Billy Ocean - Keith Diamond
First release by: Billy Ocean - 1984
Covered by multiple other artists
She dashed by me in painted on jeans
And all heads turned 'cause she was the dream
In the blink of an eye I knew her number and her name yeah
Ah she said I was the tiger she wanted to tame
Caribbean queen
Now we're sharing the same dream
And our hearts they beat as one
No more love on the run
I lose my cool when she steps in the room
And I get so excited just from her perfume
Electric eyes that you can't ignore
And passion burns you like never before
I was in search of a good time
Just running my game
Love was the furthest
Furthest from my mind
Caribbean queen
Now we're sharing the same dream
And our hearts they beat as one
No more love on the run
Caribbean queen
Now we're sharing the same dream
And our hearts they beat as one
No more love on the run
Caribbean queen
Now we're sharing the same dream
And our hearts they beat as one
No more love on the run

Fit As A Fiddle
Fit As A Fiddle
Composer(s): Al Hoffman;
Al Goodhart; Arthur Freed
Performer(s): Gene Kelly;
and various other artists
Fit as a fiddle, and ready for love
I can jump over the moon up above
fit as a fiddle, and ready for love
Haven't a worry, haven't a care
I feel like a feather just floating on air
Fit as a fiddle and ready for love
Soon the church bells will be ringing
And we'll march with Ma and Pa
How the church bells will be ringing
With a hey nonny, nonny and a ha cha, cha!
Hi diddle, diddle, my baby's okay
Ask me a riddle and what does she say?
Fit as a fiddle and ready for love!

The Damned
The Damned
Composer(s): Rod Swenson
Performer(s): Plasmatics; The Coup de Grace
Black visions from the satellite sky
deaf ears hear not their cries
fat jackals howl at the moon
flies buzzing playing death's tune
night ends but the sun it don't rise
tombs open and the dead they will rise
black market buys your soul real cheap
no escaping what you sow you will reap
prisoners of the damned
find another land
planet of the lost
land of fire and frost
prisoners of the dead
fear the unknown dread
tidal waves at sea
set the serpents free
coup d'état on a global scale
opposition locked up in jail
domination the goons are the boss
human race nailed to a cross

Caribbean
Caribbean
Composer(s): Mitchell Torok
Performer(s): Mitchell Torok
and multiple other artists
Oh, have you ever been down to Haiti
When the summer sun was sinkin' low
There's nothin' but romance just everwhere you glance
And the native hearts are all aglow
But when the Cuban Queen comes upon the scene
They all stare like a statue out of stone
And when they realize what's before their eyes
The other girls are left all alone
Down in the Caribbean it's not a dream you're seein'
When you get a glimpse of the lady with the charm
But from miles away you can see her sway
To the beat of the Cuban Conga line that forms
Up in a tree so high, way up in the sky
Sits a wide eyed monkey on a limb
He wonders why the people go to so much trouble
Just to try and be like him
He doesn't understand that it's a lady's hand
That makes a heart feel so sublime
But before too long he starts to sing the song
And then he gets in the Conga line
Down in the Caribbean it's not a dream you're seein'
When you get a glimpse of the lady with the charm
But from miles away you can see her sway
To the beat of the Cuban Conga line that forms
Columbus searched for spices
But he missed the nicest part of the Caribbean
He didn't see the charms and the open arms
It was the gold that he was seein'
But I'm glad he missed the sweetest thing I've kissed
'Cause we're on our honeymoon
I'm so sorry Chris to talk about you like this
But you were five hundred years too soon
Down in the Caribbean it's not a dream you're seein'
When you get a glimpse of the lady with the charm
But from miles away you can see her sway
To the beat of the Cuban Conga line that forms

Fist City
Fist City
Composer(s): Loretta Lynn
Performer(s): Loretta Lynn;
and various other artists
You've been makin' your brags around town
that you've been a lovin' with my man
But the man I love when he picks up trash
he puts it in a garbage can
And that's what you look like to me
and what I see is a pity
You'd better close your face
and stay out of my way
If you don't wanta go to Fist City
If you don't wanna go to Fist City
you'd better detour round my town
'Cause I'll grab you by the hair of the head
and I'll lift you off of the ground
I'm not a sayin' my baby is a saint
'Cause he ain't
And that he won't cat around with a kitty
I'm here to tell you gal to lay off of my man
if you don't wanna go to Fist City
Come on and tell me what you told my friends
if you think you're brave enough
And I'll show you what a real woman is
since you think you're hot stuff
You'll bite off more than you can chew
if you get too cute or witty
You better move your feet if you don't wanna eat
a meal that's called Fist City
If you don't wanna go to Fist City
you'd better detour round my town
'Cause I'll grab you by the hair of the head
and I'll lift you off of the ground
I'm not a sayin' my baby is a saint
'Cause he ain't
And that he won't cat around with a kitty
I'm here to tell you gal to lay off of my man
if you don't wanna go to Fist City
I'm here to tell you gal to lay off of my man
you don't wanna go to Fist City

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

Fishnet Stockings
Composer(s): Brian Setzer
Performer(s): Stray Cats;
Mad Marge & The Stonecutters;
The Quakes; Brian Setzer
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!

The Curse Of An Aching Heart
The Curse Of An Aching Heart
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

Love, oh love, oh careless love
Love, oh love, oh careless love

Once I wore my apron low
Oh it's once I wore my apron low
You'd follow me through rain and snow
Now I wear my apron high
Now I wear my apron high
Oh it's now I wear my apron high
You'll see my door and pass it by
I cried last night and the night before
I cried last night and the night before
Oh I cried last night and the night before
Going to cry tonight and cry no more
Love, oh love, oh careless love
Love, oh love, oh careless love
Oh it's love, oh love, oh careless love
You see what careless love has done
