Fools Fall In Love


Fools Fall In Love
Composer(s): Jerry Leiber; Mike Stoller
Performer(s): The Drifters;
and various other artists



Well, fools fall in love in a hurry
Fools give their hearts much too soon
Just play them two bars of Stardust
Just hang out one silly moon, oh, oh

They've got their love torches burning
When they should be playing it cool
I used to laugh but now I understand
Shake the hand of a brand new fool

Well, fools fall in love
Just like schoolgirls
Blinded by rose colored dreams

They build their castles on wishes
With only rainbows for beams, oh, oh

They're making plans for the future
When they should be right back in school
I used to laugh but now I understand
Shake the hand of a brand new fool

Oh, oh, they're making plans for the future
When they should be right back in school
I used to laugh but now I understand
Shake the hand of a brand new fool

'Cause I'm In Love With You
Composer(s): Don Kirshner - Rogers
Performer(s): Buddy Knox; Jimmy Bowen; Rhythm Orchids



Now baby doll hear what I crave
You make me want to misbehave
If you were mine, I'd be your slave
'Cause I'm in love with you
'Cause I'm in love with you

All the charm you radiate
Makes you the perfect mate
If you were mine, I'd celebrate
'Cause I'm in love with you
'Cause I'm in love with you

Please be my own
Oh, can't you see
I'll be true to you
If you'll be true to me

Hope that you won't make me blue
Don't make me sad and lonely too
I'm going wild and crazy too
'Cause I'm in love with you
'Cause I'm in love with you

I'll never never change my tune
So let's get married purty soon
I'll wait for you from night till noon
'Cause I'm in love with you
'Cause I'm in love with you

Please be my own
Oh, can't you see
I'll be true to you
If you'll be true to me

Now baby doll hear what I crave
You make me want to misbehave
If you were mine, I'd be your slave
'Cause I'm in love with you
'Cause I'm in love with you
'Cause I'm in love with you

Fools


Fools
Composer(s): Brown; Larry Wallis
Performer(s): Motörhead



This is a song for all you managers and agents out there
Are ya listening? Good!

They take your money, break your soul
They say it's only rock 'n' roll
They think they're cool to wheel and deal
Without a thought to how we feel
They pick you up and drop you flat
Then tell you life can be like that
You blew it all the day you signed
Your stupid name on some dotted line
We hate the men, who make the rules
The ones who always try so hard to make us look like Fools!

They say we need them it ain't true
The music's down to me and you
We play their games, play real nice
We gotta hear their dumb advice
We hate the men, who make the rules
The ones who always try so hard to make us look like Fools!

So many lies, they get confused
You start to feel you're being used
If ten percent is all they take
What happens to all the bread you make?
Every day it gets a little harder
Just to keep on keeping on
Do we really need all this bullshit
So long now all the thrill has gone
We hate the men, who make the rules
The ones who always try so hard to make us look like Fools!

It's so hard to make us look like you!

The Flame


The Flame
Composer(s): Nicholas Lynedoch Graham - Bobby Mitchell
First release by: Cheap Trick - 1988



Another night slowly closes in and I feel so lonely
Touching heat freezing on my skin I pretend you still hold me
I'm going crazy, I'm losing sleep
I'm in too far, I'm in way too deep over you
I can't believe you're gone
You were the first, you'll be the last

Wherever you go I'll be with you
Whatever you want I'll give it to you
Whenever you need someone to lay your heart and head upon
Remember after the fire after all the rain
I will be the flame
I will be the flame

Watching shadows move across the wall feels so fright'ning
I wanna run to you, I wanna call, but I've been hit by lightning
Just can't stand up for falling apart
Can't see through this veil across my heart over you
You'll always be the one
You were the first, you'll be the last

Wherever you go I'll be with you
Whatever you want I'll give it to you
Whenever you need someone to lay your heart and head upon
Remember after the fire after all the rain
I will be the flame
I will be the flame

I'm going crazy, I'm losing sleep
I'm in way too deep over you
You'll always be the one
You were the first, you'll be the last

Wherever you go I'll be with you
Whatever you want I'll give it to you
Whenever you need someone to lay your heart and head upon
Remember after the fire after all the rain
I will be the flame
I will be the flame

Foolish Questions


Foolish Questions
Composer(s): A. Baldwin Sloane; William Lee
Performer(s): Bill Haley;
and various other artists



Now you've all heard foolish questions and no doubt you've wondered why
Some person will ask a foolish question and expect a sensible reply
Like when you take your girl some candy, say maybe just after tea
You notice how she'll grab it and then she'll say, "Is this for me?"

Foolish Questions! You can answer when you can
"No I bought this candy for your Ma or Pa, or for John the hired hand
"I just thought you'd like to see it. Now I'm gonna take it away"
Now wasn't that a foolish question? You'll hear `em ev'ry day

And then most every morning, there is someone `round the place
Who sees you take the shaving brush and lather up your face
And as you give the razor a preliminary wave
This fool will walk up and ask you, "Are you gonna take a shave?"

Foolish questions! Your answer is, I hope
"No! I ain't prepared for shavin', I just like the taste of soap!
I kinda like to take the shaving brush and paint myself this way"
Now wasn't that a foolish question? You'll hear `em ev'ry day!

Now then there's this fella who meets you on your way
And asks you why your all dressed up and listens while you say
That you just been returning from the funeral of poor old Uncle Ned
As soon as you have told him, he will say, "Is Ned dead?"

Foolish questions! You might as well reply
"No, he thought he'd have the funeral now. Then later on he'd die
You know Ned was always so original, he wanted it that way"
Now wasn't that a Foolish Question? You'll hear `em ev'ry day!

Now suppose the elevator guy should forget to close the door
And you should tumble down, oh say forty-seven floors
And when you reach the bottom and you're lying there inert
Some fool will stick his head down the shaft and holler, "Are you hurt?"

Foolish Questions! Your dying words are
"No! I was in an awful hurry and that elevator's just too slow
Usually saves a lot of time, you know, comin' down this way"
Now wasn't that a Foolish Question? You'll hear `em ev'ry day!

That was a Foolish Question! You'll hear `em ev'ry day!

Yeah, come on all of you, big strong men
Uncle Sam needs your help again
He's got himself in a terrible jam
Way down yonder in Vietnam
So put down your books and pick up a gun
We're gonna have a whole lotta fun

And it's one, two, three
What are we fighting for?
Don't ask me, I don't give a damn
Next stop is Vietnam
And it's five, six, seven
Open up the pearly gates
Well there ain't no time to wonder why
Whoopee! we're all gonna die

Well, come on generals, let's move fast
Your big chance has come at last
Gotta go out and get those reds
The only good commie is the one who's dead
And you know that peace can only be won
When we've blown 'em all to kingdom come

And it's one, two, three
What are we fighting for?
Don't ask me, I don't give a damn
Next stop is Vietnam
And it's five, six, seven
Open up the pearly gates
Well there ain't no time to wonder why
Whoopee! we're all gonna die

Huh!

Well, come on Wall Street, don't move slow
Why man, this is war au-go-go
There's plenty good money to be made
By supplying the Army with the tools of the trade
Just hope and pray that if they drop the bomb
They drop it on the Viet Cong

And it's one, two, three
What are we fighting for?
Don't ask me, I don't give a damn
Next stop is Vietnam
And it's five, six, seven
Open up the pearly gates
Well there ain't no time to wonder why
Whoopee! we're all gonna die

Well, come on mothers throughout the land
Pack your boys off to Vietnam
Come on fathers, don't hesitate
Send 'em off before it's too late
Be the first one on your block
To have your boy come home in a box

And it's one, two, three
What are we fighting for?
Don't ask me, I don't give a damn
Next stop is Vietnam
And it's five, six, seven
Open up the pearly gates
Well there ain't no time to wonder why
Whoopee! we're all gonna die

Causas Y Azares


Causas Y Azares
Composer(s): Silvio Rodríguez
Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez; Miguel Bosé; La Sonora Ponceña



Cuando pedro salió a su ventana
no sabía, mi amor, no sabía
que la luz de esa clara mañana
era luz de su último día

y las causas lo fueron cercando
cotidianas, invisibles
y el azar se le iba enredando
poderoso, invencible

cuando juan regresaba a su lecho
no sabía, oh alma querida
que en la noche lluviosa y sin techo
lo esperaba el amor de su vida

y las causas lo fueron cercando
cotidianas, invisibles
y el azar se le iba enredando
poderoso, invencible

cuando acabe este verso que canto
yo no sé, yo no sé, madre mía
si me espera la paz o el espanto
si el ahora o si el todavía

pues las causas me andan cercando
cotidianas, invisibles
y el azar se me viene enredando
poderoso, invencible

Foolish Little Girl


Foolish Little Girl
Composer(s): Helen Miller; Howard Greenfield
Performer(s): The Shirelles;
and various other artists



You broke his heart and made him cry
And he's been blue since then
Now he's found somebody new
and you want him back again..

Foolish little girl
Fickle little girl
You didn't want him when he wanted you
He's found another love
It's her he's dreaming of
And there's not a single thing that you can do..

(But I love Him)
No you don't, it's just your pride that's hurt..
(I still love him)
If you got him back again
You'd go right out and do him dirt

Foolish little girl
Fickle little girl
You didn't want him when he wanted you
He's found another love
It's her he's dreaming of
And there's not a single thing that you can do..

(But I love Him)
It's too late to have a change of heart..
(I still love Him)
Tomorrow is his wedding day
And you'll keep quiet if you're smart

You foolish little girl
Fickle little girl
You didn't want him when he wanted you
He's found another love
It's her he's dreaming of
And there's not a single thing that you can do..

(But I love Him)
Forget him cause he don't belong to you
(I still love him)
It's too late he's found somebody new
(I really love him)
There's not a single thing that you can do...

The First Time I Saw You


The First Time I Saw You
Composer(s): Nat Shilkret - Allie Wrubel
Performer(s): Frances Farmer
and multiple other artists



Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah (In Gracie's unique soprano)

The first time I saw you
I knew at a glance
I was meant to be yours, yours alone

When I look in your eyes
I am thrilled to the skies
And I feel like a queen (king) on a throne

The first time I saw you
I knew at a glance
I was meant to be yours, yours alone

My heart was fancy free
One love meant nothing to me
Until one grand and glorious night
You chanced to come my way
You turned that night into day
It must have been love at first sight

The first time I saw you
I knew at a glance
I was meant, meant to be yours, yours alone

As I stood before you
My heart seemed to dance
And I prayed you would call, call me your own

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah (In Gracie's unique soprano)

The first time I saw you
I knew at a glance
I was meant to be yours, yours alone

Caught In The Balance


Caught In The Balance Composer(s): Bobby Kimball - Steve Lukather - Stan Lynch - David Paich - Simon Phillips - Mike Porcaro Performer(s): Toto



What happened to me
Oh it seems so long ago
The cuts run deep
But the scars still show

I live in the shadows
Where it’s been so hard to grow
I’m still a servant in a nobleman’s robes

You know my weakness girl you know my kind
You helped me see when I was blind

It’s a crime to live my life without you
Serve out my years in darkness
Inside these walls I die without you
And when I close my eyes
I’m caught in the balance

Afraid of the hurricane
I hide in my domain
I need release from all this pain
Please don’t forsake me
In these ruins of your home
I can’t wait forever
Don’t leave me alone

I have a secret if you want to learn
I will surrender in return

It’s a crime to live my life without you
Serve out my years in darkness
Inside these walls I die without you
And when I close my eyes
I’m caught in the balance

You know my weakness girl you know my kind
You helped me see when I was blind

It’s a crime to live my life without you
Serve out my years in darkness
Inside these walls I die without you
And when I close my eyes
I’m caught in the balance

It’s a crime to live my life without you
Serve out my years in darkness
Inside these walls I die without you
And when I close my eyes
I’m caught in the balance

Foolish Heart


Foolish Heart
Composer(s): Steve Perry; Randy Goodrum
Performer(s): Steve Perry;
and various other artists



I need a love that grows
I don't want it unless I know
With each passin' hour
Someone, somehow
Will be there, ready to share

I need a love that's strong
I'm so tired of being alone
But will my lonely heart
Play the part
Of the fool again, before I begin

Foolish heart, hear me calling
Stop before you start falling
Foolish heart, heed my warning
You've been wrong before
Don't be wrong anymore

Feelin' that feelin' again
Playin' a game I can't win
Love's knockin' on the door
Of my heart once more
Think I'll let her in
Before I begin

Foolish heart, hear me calling
Stop before, you start falling
Foolish heart, heed my warning
You've been wrong before
Don't be wrong anymore
Foolish heart
Foolish, foolish heart
You've been wrong before

Foolish heart, hear me calling
Stop before you start falling
Foolish heart, heed my warning
You've been wrong before
Don't be wrong anymore
Foolish heart

Oh foolish foolish heart
You've been wrong before

Foolish foolish heart
Foolish heart

Then what will the answer be

But when will I know (Ooh-ooh-aah)
How long must I wait (Ooh-ooh-aah)
When will it show (Ooh-ooh)
What is my fate

The Garden Of Roses


The Garden Of Roses
Composer(s): J.E. Dempsey - Johann C. Schmid



Come into the garden of roses, dear
And stand where the sunbeams fall
The roses that bloom in the garden, dear
Must wither and fade someday

But perfume arises like incense pure
To one who is fairer than all!
Time only adds to the rose of love
A charm that can never decay

Beautiful garden of roses
Kiss'd by the golden dew
Each pretty flower discloses
Virtues I find in you

White means your soul so pure, dear
Red is your love most true
You are my garden of beautiful roses
My own rose
My one rose, that's you
That's you

Cats Under The Stars


Cats Under The Stars Composer(s): Jerry Garcia - Robert Hunter Performer(s): Jerry Garcia Band; Pickin' On; Melvin Seals



Cats on the blacktop, birdie in the treetop
Someone plays guitar that sounds like cla-vi-nette
I ain't ready yet, to go to bed
Think I'll take a walk downtown instead

Cats on the bandstand
Give'em each a big hand
Anyone who sweats like that must be all right
No one wants to fight; no blackeye
Just another cat beneath the stars tonight

Cats in the limelight, feels like it's alright
Everybody wants something they might not get
I ain' ready yet, it ain't complete
That's why I am headin' down to Alleycat Street

Sa-tin blouse unbuttoning
Sa-tin blouse unbuttoning
Time is a stripper doin' it just for you
Time is a stripper doin' it just for you

Just for you
Just For You

Knock in the brass tacks, cover up your tracks Jack
You ain't nowhere till you can pay your own way back
What else do you lack to make it right
But cats down under the stars tonight

Fooled Around And Fell In Love


Fooled Around And Fell In Love
Composer(s): Elvin Bishop
Performer(s): Elvin Bishop;
and various other artists



I must have been through about a million girls
I'd love 'em then I'd leave 'em alone
I didn't care how much they cried, no sir
Their tears left me cold as a stone

But then I fooled around and fell in love
I fooled around and fell in love, yes I did
I fooled around and fell in love, I fooled around and fell in love

It used to be when I'd see a girl that I liked
I'd get out my book and write down her name
But when the grass got a little greener over on the other side
I'd just tear out that page

I fooled around and fell in love
I fooled around and fell in love, since I met you baby
I fooled around and fell in love, I fooled around and fell in love

Free, on my own is the way I used to be
Ah, but since I met you baby, love's got a hold on me
It's got a hold on me now, I can't let go of you baby

I fooled around and fell in love
I fooled around and fell in love, oh yes I did
I fooled around, fooled around, fooled around, fooled around,
fooled around, fooled around, fell in love
Fooled around, fooled around, fooled around, fooled around,
fooled around, fooled around, fell in love
I fooled around, fell in love
I fell in love, I fell in love, yes I did

The First Thing You Know


The First Thing You Know
Composer(s): Alan Jay Lerner - André Previn
Performer(s): Lee Marvin



God made the mountains
God made the sky
God made the people
God knows why

He fixed up the planet
As best as He could
Then in come the people
And gum it up good

The first thing you know

They civilized the foothills
And everywhere He put hills
The mountains and valley below

They come along and take 'em
And civilize and make 'em
A place where no civilized
Person would go

The first thing you know
The first thing you know

They civilize what's pretty
By puttin' up a city
Where nothin' that's
Pretty can grow

They muddy up the winter
And civilize it into
A place too uncivilized
Even for snow

The first thing you know

They civilize left
They civilize right
Till nothing is left
Till nothing is right

They civilize freedom
Till no one is free
No one except
By coincidence, me

The first thing you know

The boozer's in prison
And the criminally isn't
And only the rascals have dough

When I see a parson
I gotta put my arse in
A wagon that follows the tail of a crow

The first thing you know
I pick up a blow!
The first thing you know
