Fool In The Rain


Fool In The Rain
Composer(s): John Paul Jones; Jimmy Page; Robert Plant
Performer(s): Led Zeppelin;
Azzlzz Band; Maná; Rick Wakeman



Well there's a light in your eye that keeps shining
Like a star that can't wait for the night
I hate to think I've been blinded baby
Why can't I see you tonight?

And the warmth of your smile starts a-burnin'
And the thrill of your touch gives me fright
And I'm shaking so much, really yearning
Why don't you show up, make it all right?
Yeah, it's all right

And if you promised you'd love so completely
and you said you would always be true
You swore that you would never leave me, baby
What ever happened to you?

And you thought it was only in movies
As you wish all your dreams would come true
It ain't the first time believe me, baby
I'm standin here feeling blue
Yeah I'm blue

Now I will stand in the rain on the corner
I'll watch the people go shuffling downtown
Another ten minutes no longer
And then I'm turning around

The clock on the wall's moving slower
My heart it sinks to the ground
And the storm that I thought would blow over
Clouds the light of the love that I found

Now my body is starting to quiver
And the palms of my hands getting wet
I've got no reason to doubt you baby,
It's all a terrible mess

I'll run in the rain till I'm breathless
When I'm breathless I'll run till I drop, hey
The thoughts of a fool's kind of careless
I'm just a fool waiting on the wrong block, oh yeah
Light of the love that I found...

The Finger Of Suspicion


The Finger Of Suspicion
Composer(s): Paul Mann - Lewis
Performer(s): Dickie Valentine & The Stargazers



Someone broke into my heart and stole a beat or two
The finger of suspicion points at you
Someone took away my sleep and never left a clue
The finger of suspicion points at you

Just as soon as they can make the guilty one confess
I know exactly what I'm gonna do
I'll take and lock her charms forever in my arms
Then who is bound to be the guilty who
The finger of suspicion points at you

Someone broke into my heart and stole a beat or two
The finger of suspicion points at you
Someone took away my sleep and never left a clue
The finger of suspicion points at you

Just as soon as they can make the guilty one confess
I know exactly what I'm gonna do
I'll take and lock her charms forever in my arms
Then who is bound to be the guilty who
The finger of suspicion points at you

Catherine Cares


Catherine Cares
Composer(s): Pete Ham
Performer(s): Pete Ham



The things I said to her are on my mind
Things I said so selfishly, didn't mean a thing to me
But now I know that she was being kind
Didn't want me to be hurt, no one there to change my shirt

Catherine cares
Now I know she does, oh yes she does, oh yeah
Catherine cares
Yeah, I know that I was wrong
Catherine cares
Yeah, the only thing she wants is to have her baby home

No matter what I got, I just complained
She'd give her last to see me smile, tried to keep me dressed in style
But I had this ambition in my brain
So I walked out and left her there without a thought, without a care

Catherine cares
Now I know she does, oh yes she does, oh yeah
Catherine cares
Yeah, I know that I was wrong
Catherine cares
Yeah, the only thing she wants is to have her baby home

Each time that I come home she says the same
"C'mon home, you're getting thin, see the state your clothes are in"
She's my mom and Catherine's her name
Gives a pound to see me straight, sits back in her chair to wait

Catherine cares
Now I know she does, oh yes she does, oh yeah
Catherine cares
Yeah, I know that I was wrong
Catherine cares
Yeah, the only thing she wants is to have her baby home

(She wants her baby home)

Catherine cares
Now I know she does, yeah I know
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know she does, oh yeah
Catherine cares
Catherine cares
I know that I was selfish to you, selfish to you, my mom
Catherine cares
Please forgive me...

Fool Hearted Memory


Fool Hearted Memory
Composer(s): Blake Mevis; David Wills
Performer(s): George Strait



Nickels and dimes
Memories and wines
She's on his mind once again
The same old fool
The same old stool
Played by the rules but didn't win
There's an old love in his heart that he can't lose
He tried forgetting but he knows that it's no use

He's got a fool hearted memory
That won't let him see
That she walked out the door
He's got a fool hearted memory
He sits patiently
Here every night so it can fool him more

She was his girl
His only world
That string of pearls that slipped away
A thousand dimes
A thousand times
He doesn't mind what they say
He fills the jukebox
And plays the same old song
He fills his glass
And then he turns her memory on

He's got a fool hearted memory
That won't let him see
That she walked out the door
He's got a fool hearted memory
He sits patiently
Here every night so it can fool him more

He's got a fool hearted memory
That won't let him see
That she walked out the door
He's got a fool hearted memory
He sits patiently
Here every night so it can fool him more

Finest Drops


Finest Drops
Composer(s): Wire
Performer(s): Wire



The island monkeys love the dark
No one is home, they're thin-skinned sharks
Hue exchanging gives sea-leg walks
No one is home, the chemicals talk

Load up the spoiled goods
Hook up the spoiled gods
Fill up the kindness cups
Drink up the finest drops

Feeding frenzy, sleepless attacks
No one is home, power attracts
Death on a raft, life in a whale
No one is home to finish the tale

Paint it red, light it in blue
No one is home over at the zoo
Lashing together, a timbre design
No one is home, no one is blind

The last boat launched, cling to the rail
No one is home, they're in full sail
Forging chains, caught on the tracks
No one is home and they're not coming back

The island monkeys love the dark
No one is home, they've gone for a walk
The island monkeys love the dark
No one is home, the chemicals talk

Cathedral


Cathedral
Composer(s): Graham Nash
Performer(s): Crosby, Stills & Nash



Six o' clock
In the morning, I feel pretty good
So I dropped into the luxury of the Lords
Fighting dragons and crossing swords
With the people against the hordes
Who came to conquer

Seven o'clock
In the morning, here it comes
I taste the warning and I am so amazed
I'm here today, seeing things so clear this way
In the car and on my way
To Stonehenge

I'm flying in Winchester cathedral
Sunlight pouring through the break of day
Stumbled through the door and into the chamber
There's a lady setting flowers on a table covered lace
And a cleaner in the distance finds a cobweb on a face
And a feeling deep inside of me tells me
This can't be the place

I'm flying in Winchester cathedral
All religion has to have its day
Expressions on the face of the Saviour
Made me say
I can't stay

Open up the gates of the church and let me out of here!
Too many people have lied in the name of Christ
For anyone to heed the call
So many people have died in the name of Christ
That I can't believe it all

And now I'm standing on the grave of a soldier that died in 1799
And the day he died it was a birthday
And I noticed it was mine
And my head didn't know just who I was
And I went spinning back in time
And I am high upon the altar
High upon the altar, high

I'm flying in Winchester cathedral
It's hard enough to drink the wine
The air inside just hangs in delusion
But given time
I'll be fine

Fool For Your Loving


Fool For Your Loving
Composer(s): David Coverdale;
Bernie Marsden; Micky Moody
Performer(s): Whitesnake;
and various other artists



I was born under a bad sign, left out in the cold
I'm a lonely man who knows just what it means to lose control
But I took all the heartache and turned it to shame
Now I'm movin', movin' on and I ain't taking the blame

(chorus:)
Don't come running to me, I know I've done all I can
A hard loving woman like you just makes a hard loving man
So I can say it to you, babe: I'll be a fool for your loving no more
A fool for your loving no more
I'm so tired of trying, I always end up crying\
A fool for your loving no more, I'll be a fool for your loving no more

I'm tired of hiding my feelings, you left me lonely too long
I gave my heart and you tore it apart
Oh, baby you done me wrong
(chorus)

The Final Cut


The Final Cut
Composer(s): Roger Waters
First release by: Pink Floyd - 1983



Through the fish-eyed lens of tear stained eyes
I can barely define the shape of this moment in time
And far from flying high in clear blue skies
I'm spiraling down to the hole in the ground where I hide

If you negotiate the minefield in the drive
And beat the dogs and cheat the cold electronic eyes
And if you make it past the shotgun in the hall
Dial the combination, open the priesthole
And if I'm in I'll tell you what's behind the wall

There's a kid who had a big hallucination
Making love to girls in magazines
He wonders if you're sleeping with your new found faith
Could anybody love him
Or is it just a crazy dream?

And if I show you my dark side
Will you still hold me tonight?
And if I open my heart to you
And show you my weak side
What would you do?
Would you sell your story to Rolling Stone?
Would you take the children away
And leave me alone?
And smile in reassurance
As you whisper down the phone?
Would you send me packing?
Or would you take me home?

Thought I oughta bare my naked feelings
Thought I oughta tear the curtain down
I held the blade in trembling hands
Prepared to make it but just then the phone rang
I never had the nerve to make the final cut

"Hello? Listen, I think I've got it
Okay, listen it's a HaHa!"

Catfish John


Catfish John Composer(s): Bob McDill - Allen Reynolds First release by: Johnny Russell - 1972 Covered by multiple other artists



Momma said don't go near that river
Don't be hangin' 'round old Catfish John
But come the morning I'd always be there
Walking in his footsteps in that sweet delta dawn

Born a slave in the town of Vicksburg
Traded for a chestnut mare
But he never spoke in anger
Though his load was hard to bear

Momma said don't go near that river
Don't be hangin' 'round old Catfish John
But come the morning I'd always be there
Walking in his footsteps in that sweet delta dawn

Let me dream of another morning
Of a time so long ago
Where the sweet magnolias blossom
And cotton fields were white as snow

Momma said don't go near that river
Don't be hangin' 'round old Catfish John
But come the morning I'd always be there
Walking in his footsteps in that sweet delta dawn

Fool For You Anyway


Fool For You Anyway
Composer(s): Mick Jones
Performer(s): Foreigner; The Average White Band



Well I miss you honey
A little more every day
And I know if I kissed you
You'd be comin' back home to stay

'Cause I know I was wrong
But how long do I have to pay?

You know you belong here beside me
I'm a fool for you anyway
I'm a fool for you anyway
'Cause I'm a fool for you anyway

Well I cried for you so long
My river of tears ran dry
And I tried to be so strong
But grew weaker as time went by

You know your love left a mark on me
I don't think it will fade away

I'll sit here and wait 'til you come home
'Cause I'm a fool for you anyway
I'm a fool for you anyway
Fool for you anyway

You know your love left a mark on me, on me
I don't think it will fade away

I'll sit here and wait 'til you come home
'Cause I'm a fool for you anyway
'Cause I'm a fool for you anyway
I'm a fool for you anyway

Fool for you anyway
Fool for you anyway
'Cause I'm a fool for you anyway
A fool for you anyway
Fool for you anyway
I'm a fool for you anyway

Fields Of Athenry


Fields Of Athenry
Composer(s): Pete St. John
First recording/First release by: Danny Doyle - 1979/1980
Covered by multiple other artists



By a lonely prison wall, I heard a young girl calling
"Michael, they have taken you away
For you stole Trevelyan's corn
So the young might see the morn
Now a prison ship lies waiting in the bay"

Low lie the fields of Athenry
Where once we watched the small free birds fly
Our love was on the wing
We had dreams and songs to sing
It's so lonely round the fields of Athenry

By a lonely prison wall, I heard a young man calling
"Nothing matters, Mary, when you're free
Against the famine and the crown
I rebelled, they cut me down
Now you must raise our child with dignity"

Low lie the fields of Athenry
Where once we watched the small free birds fly
Our love was on the wing
We had dreams and songs to sing
It's so lonely round the fields of Athenry

By a lonely harbor wall, she watched the last star fall
As the prison ship sailed out against the sky
For she lived to hope and pray for her love in Botany Bay
It's so lonely round the fields of Athenry

Low lie the fields of Athenry
Where once we watched the small free birds fly
Our love was on the wing
We had dreams and songs to sing
It's so lonely round the fields of Athenry

Fool For Love


Fool For Love
Performer(s): Michael Bolton & Johnny Hallyday



Je vous préviens, n'approchez pas
Que vous soyez flic ou badaud
Je tue celui qui fait un pas
Je ne ferai pas de cadeau

Eteignez tous ces projecteurs
Et baissez ces fusils braqués
Non, je ne vais pas m'envoler sans elle

I took her life, her tender life
I couldn't bear the thing to see
And life and love and give herself
To any other man than me

So if my world will end tonight
I will not cry
I do not care
I'll meet her in another life somewhere

I was a fool, a fool for love
A fool who believed
That she came from above
I'll stay a fool until I die
She was my world, my breath, my sky

I'm just a fool who lost her control
Along with my soul
In time a fool becomes a clown
And you will laugh as I fall down

We'll never be in peace again
I'll never feel her warm caress
And live each day just thinking of
My angel in a pale blue dress

Je vais ouvrir grand les volets
Crevez-moi le cœur je suis prêt
Je veux m'endormir pour toujours près d'elle

I was a fool, a fool for love
A foll who believed that she came
From above
I'll stay a fool until I die
She was my world, my breath, my sky
I'm just a fool who lost her control
Along with my soul
In time a fool becomes a clown
And you will laugh as I
As I fall down

First release by: Joni Mitchell - 1969
Covered by multiple other artists



And so once again
My dear Johnny my dear friend
And so once again you are fightin' us all
And when I ask you why

You raise your sticks and cry, and I fall
Oh, my friend
How did you come
To trade the fiddle for the drum

You say I have turned
Like the enemies you've earned
But I can remember
All the good things you are
And so I ask you please
Can I help you find the peace and the star
Oh, my friend
What time is this
To trade the handshake for the fist

And so once again
Oh, America my friend
And so once again
You are fighting us all
And when we ask you why
You raise your sticks and cry and we fall
Oh, my friend
How did you come
To trade the fiddle for the drum

You say we have turned
Like the enemies you've earned
But we can remember
All the good things you are
And so we ask you please
Can we help you find the peace and the star
Oh my friend
We have all come
To fear the beating of your drum

Red, yellow, black or tan
Makes no difference: a man's a man
They oughta live together now if they could
Then the whole wide world would be feelin' good
Feelin' good, feelin' good
All the money in the world spent on feelin' good
Feelin' good, feelin' good
All the money in the world spent on feelin' good

The Fever


The Fever
Composer(s): Bruce Springsteen
First release by: Bruce Springsteen - 1998
Covered by multiple other artists



When I get home from my job
I turn on my T.V.
But I can't keep my mind on the show
When I lay down at night
I don't get no sleep
So I turn on the radio
But, Lord, the only thing I hear
Is you whisperin' in my ear
The words that you used to say
Well, now the days grow longer
My love grows stronger
And the fever gets worse every day

I got a fever for a girl
He's got the fever
Oh, he's got the fever
Nothing that a boy can do
When he's got the fever for a girl
He's got the fever
Oh, he's got the fever
Left this little boy blue

I can remember comin' home
See you standin' at the stove
With the dishes on the table
Dinner ready to go
Or maybe out to a movie show
Something that you'd like to see
Oh, you were my sun in the morning
And my moon at night
When you put your arms around me
Made me fell alright
Well, now the days grow longer
And my love just grows stronger
And the fever gets so bad at night

I got a fever for a girl
He's got the fever
Oh, he's got the feverNothing that a boy can do
When he's got the fever for a girl
He's got the fever
Oh, he's got the fever
Left this little boy blue

It's gonna be alright, now
If I can make it to the morning
I'm gonna be alright, now
If I can just make it to the morning

It's just this long and lonely nights
Everytime I close my eyes
All I see is her face
Everytime I shut my eyes
All I see is her face
But I'm gonna be alright, now
I'll be alright, now
When I shut down all the lights
When I turn off all the lights
When I turn down all the lights
And when I lay my head on the pillow
I can't stop myself in thinking
"Baby, where are you tonight?"
"Where is she tonight?"

Fool (If You Think It's Over)


Fool (If You Think It's Over)
Composer(s): Chris Rea
Performer(s): Chris Rea;
and various other artists



A dying flame, you're free again
Who could love and do that to you
All dressed in black, he won't be coming back
Save your tears, you've got years and years
The pains of seventeen's
Unreal they're only dreams
Save your crying for the day

Fool if you think it's over
'Cos you said goodbye
Fool if you think it's over
I'll tell you why
New born eyes always cry with pain
At the first look at the morning sun
You're a fool if you think it's over
It's just begun

Miss teenage dream, such a tragic scene
he knocked your crown and ran away
First wound of pride and how you cried and cried
But save your tears you've got years and years

Fool if you think it's over
'Cos you said goodbye
Fool if you think it's over
I'll tell you why
New born eyes always cry with pain
At the first look at the morning sun
You're a fool if you think it's over
It's just begun

I'll buy your first good wine
We'll have a real good time
Save your crying for the day
That may not come but anyone
Who had to pay would laugh at you and say

Fool if you think it's over
'Cos you said goodbye
Fool if you think it's over
I'll tell you why

Father Of A Boy Named Sue


Father Of A Boy Named Sue
Composer(s): Shel Silverstein
Performer(s): Shel Silverstein



OK, now, years ago, I wrote a song called "A Boy Named Sue"
And, that was OK and everything except, then I started to think about it, and I thought, it is unfair
I am, I am looking at the whole thing from the poor kid's point of view
And as I get more older and more fatherly, I begin to look at things from old men's point of view
So, I decided to give the old man equal time
OK, here we go...

Yeah, I left home when the kid was three
And it sure felt good to be fancy free
Though I knew it wasn't quite the the fatherly thing to do
But that kid kept screaming and throwing up
And pissing in his pants till I had enough
So just for revenge I went and named him Sue
Yeah!

It was Gatlinburg in mid July
I was getting drunk but getting by
Getting old and going from bad to worse

When through the door with an awful scream
Comes the ugliest queen I've ever seen
He says, "My name is Sue, how do you do?"
Then he hits me with his purse

Now this ain't the way he tells the tell
But he scratched my face with his fingernails
And then he bit my thumb
And kicked me with his high heel shoe

So I hit him in the nose and he started to cry
And he threw some perfume in my eye
And it sure ain't easy fighting an old boy named Sue

So I hit him in the head with a cane back chair
And he screamed, "Hey dad, you mussed my hair!"
And he hit me in the navel and knocked out a piece of my lint

He was spitting blood, I was spitting teeth
And we crashed through the wall and out into the street
Kicking and gouging in the mud and the blood and the crème de menthe

Then out of his garter he pulls a gun
I'm about to get shot by my very own son
He's screaming about Sigmund Freud and looking grim - woo
So I though fast and I told him some stuff
How I named him Sue just to make him tough
And I guess he bought it 'cause now I'm living with him

Yea he cooks and sews and cleans up the place
He cuts my hair and shaves my face
And irons my shirts better than a daughter could do
And on the nights that I can't score
Well, I can't tell you any more
But it sure is a joy to have a boy named Sue
Yeah a son is fun but it's a joy to have a boy named Sue!
