I'm Gonna Be Strong
I'm Gonna Be Strong
Composer(s): Barry Mann; Cynthia Weil
Performer(s): Gene Pitney
and multiple other artists
I can see you're slipping away from me
And you're so afraid I'll plead with you to stay
But I'm gonna be strong and let you go your way
Our love is gone, there's no sense in holding on
'Cause your pity now would be too much to bear
So I'm gonna be strong and pretend I don't care
I'm gonna be strong and stand as tall as I can
Yes, I'm gonna be strong and let you run along and take it like a man
When you say it's the end I'll just hand you a line
I'll smile and say "Don't you worry, I'm fine"
And you'll never know, darling, after you kiss me goodbye
How I'll break down and cryeye-eye-eye

Evergreen
Evergreen
Composer(s): Paul Williams; Barbra Streisand
Performer(s): Barbra Streisand
Love, soft as an easy chair
Love, fresh as the morning air
One love that is shared by two
I have found with you
Like a rose under the April snow
I was always certain love would grow
Love, ageless and evergreen
Seldom seen by two
You and I will
make each night the first
Everyday a beginning
Spirits rise and their dance is unrehearsed
They warm and excite us
'Cause we have the brightest love
Two lights that shine as one Morning glory and midnight sun
Time, we've learned to sail above
Time, won't change the meaning of one love
Ageless and ever evergreen

Composer(s): Jesse Ashlock; Bob Wills
Performer(s): Bob Wills & His Texas Playboys
The worst thing I did was when I married you
You’re givin’ me a bad time and you won’t be true
Better heed my warnin’ woman, this can’t go on
I’m Gonna Be Boss from Now on
If you ever told the truth you would apologize
I know that you’ve been callin’ up other guys
Shut your big mouth and get away from that phone
I’m Gonna Be Boss From Now On
You’re half lazy and the other half mean
You never make the bed and kitchen ain’t clean
Make up that bed woman get in that kitchen where you belong
I’m Gonna Be Boss from Now On
I can’t love you woman, ‘cause your heart ain’t clean
You’re the trifl’nest woman that I’ve ever seen
Your time’s up baby and you’d better get gone
I’m Gonna Be Boss from Now On

Otis Redding
Otis Redding
Composer(s): Everclear; Art Alexakis
Performer(s): Everclear
Do you remember when we were hungry?
Do you remember when we were cold?
Do you remember when we were happy?
Do you remember? Do you remember?
Do you remember when we were lucky?
We were livin' the life almost every night
I would wrap you in my thin white arms
Sit and watch the stars glide
Yeah, do you remember when we were the losers?
Do you remember when we were the lame?
Do you remember when we were the lepers?
Do you remember? Do you remember?
Do you remember when we were strung out?
Eatin' top ramen, macaroni and cheese
We would get so lost in that basement room
Let the Otis Redding sing us to sleep
I wish I had one more life
I don't wanna be wasted
I don't wanna live inside this daydream anymore
I just wanna be happy again
I don't wanna be wasted, I dont wanna be blind
I don't wanna be wasted
I don't wanna live inside this daydream anymore
I just wanna be happy again
I don't wanna be wasted, I don't wanna be (blind)
I don't wanna be wasted, I don't wanna be (blind)
I don't wanna be wasted, I don't wanna be blind
I wish I could be like all my heroes
I wish I could be like all yours too
I wish I could sing like Otis Redding
I wish I could play this guitar in tune
Do you remember when we were hungry?
Do you remember when we were cold?
Do you remember when we were happy in a way
No one outside could ever know?
I wish I had one more life
How I wish I had one more life to live
I don't wanna be wasted
I don't wanna live inside of this daydream anymore
I just wanna be happy again
I don't wanna be wasted, I don't wanna be (blind)
I don't wanna be wasted
No, I don't wanna live inside of this daydream anymore
I just wanna be happy again
I dont wanna be wasted, I don't wanna be
I dont wanna be wasted, I don't wanna be
I dont wanna be wasted, I don't wanna be blind
No, I don't want to be blind
No, I don't want to be blind

I'm gonna be a wheel one day, I'm gonna be somebody
I'm gonna be a real gone cat, then I won't want you

Ever Since The World Began (The Yardbirds)
Ever Since The World Began
Composer(s): Chris Dreja; Jim McCarty;
Jeff Beck; Keith Relf; Paul Samwell-Smith
Performer(s): The Yardbirds
Ever since the world began
Satan's followed every man
Trapping evil if he can
I tell you now his greatest plan
Invented when I cannot tell
Defied the thoughts of man so well
Man wants money for his need
But soon it sows it's evil seed
Unhappiness it only brings
As man wants more and better things
If not enough the evil lies
But soon you'll find somebody dies
Throughout the years there have been wars
Power and richness have been the cause
Trapped in money's evil net
Man wants more than he can get
You don't need money
No, no, no, no
You don't need money
No, no, no, no
You don't need money
... etc.
It'll never bring you love
No more than the sun above
You'll never see the end
The money you will surely spend
But ask for help if you sin
Reclaim yourself, what a state you're in
The devil has you in his grasp
There ain't no mercy you can ask
More and more you will need
You're strangled in the clutch of greed
You can't get out, no place to go
You sold your soul - the answer's no!

I'm Going To Write Home
I'm Going To Write Home
Composer(s): Foster Carling
Performer(s): Spike Jones
Johnny Jones got very lonesome
When he went away
Mary Smith was right there with him
And she heard him say
When I need you most, and I feel you close
Darling, just supposing I do
I'll write right home to you
If I can't caress you, why, heaven bless you
I guess you know what I'll do
I'll write right home to you
In dreams I'll see you always near to me
Everywhere that I may roam
So promise me to shun that apple tree
Till I come marchin' home
And until that day, if I'm asked to stray
From the straight and narrow and true
I'll write right home to you
And until that day, if I'm asked to stray
From the straight and narrow and true
I'll write right home to you

Ever Since The World Began (Survivor)
Ever Since The World Began
Composer(s): Jim Peterik; Frankie Sullivan
Performer(s): Survivor
I never knew what brought me here
As if somebody led my hand
It seems I hardly had to steer
My course was planned
A destiny that guides us all
And by its hand we rise and fall
But only for a moment time
Enough to catch our breath again
And we're just another piece of the puzzle
Just another part of the plan
Oh, when life touches the other
It's so hard to understand
Still we walk this road together
We travel through as far as we can
And we have waited for this moment in time
Ever since the world began
Takin' in the times gone by
We wonder how it all began
We never know and still we try to understand
And even though the seasons change
The reasons still remain the same
It's love that keeps us holdin' on
Till we can see the sun again
And we're just another piece of the puzzle
Just another part of the plan
And we have waited for this moment in time
Ever since the worl began
And I stand alone, a man of stone, against the drivin' rain
And the night it's got your number and the wind it passes your name
And we search for truth, win or lose to whisper on again
Where hopes still burn eternal
We're the people of the plain

I'm Goin' To Settle Down Outside Of London Town (When I'm Dry, Dry Dry)
I'm Goin' To Settle Down Outside Of London Town (When I'm Dry, Dry Dry)
Composer(s): James V. Monaco; Joe McCarthy
Performer(s): Irving Kaufman
America, I must say I love you
You're more than a mother to me
And although I must stray, I must go away
Still my home you will always be
So goodbye, I am leaving you soon
I must sail with the last day of June
I'm goin' to settle down, outside of London Town
Down in a village by the sea
And you will find me there with the country air
Where everything is free
And when I'm over there
My heart will still be here
And I hate to say "Goodbye"
But I'm a man who must have a little liquor when I'm dry, dry dry
America, you're such a young nation
You are just like a big bouncing boy
You've been happy and gay, I loved you that way
Your freedom the world could enjoy
I am sorry to leave you behind
I'll come back here when you've changed your mind
I'm goin' to settle down, outside of London Town
Down in a village by the sea
And you will find me there with the country air
Where everything is free
And when I'm over there
My heart will still be here
And I hate to say "Goodbye"
But I'm a man who must have a little liquor when I'm dry, dry dry

Ever Fallen In Love (With Someone You Shouldn't've)?
Ever Fallen In Love (With Someone You Shouldn't've)?
Composer(s): Pete Shelley
Performer(s): Buzzcocks; Nouvelle Vague
You spurn my natural emotions
You make me feel like dirt
And I’m hurt
And if I start a commotion
I run the risk of losing you
And that’s worse
Ever fallen in love with someone
Ever fallen in love
In love with someone
Ever fallen in love
In love with someone
You shouldn’t’ve fallen in love with
I can’t see much of a future
Unless we find out what’s to blame
What a shame
And we won’t be together much longer
Unless we realize that we are the same
Ever fallen in love with someone
Ever fallen in love
In love with someone
Ever fallen in love
In love with someone
You shouldn’t’ve fallen in love with
You disturb my natural emotions
You make me feel like dirt
And I’m hurt
And if I start a commotion
I’ll only end up losing you
And that’s worse
Ever fallen in love with someone
Ever fallen in love
In love with someone
Ever fallen in love
In love with someone
You shouldn’t’ve fallen in love with
Ever fallen in love with someone
Ever fallen in love
In love with someone
Ever fallen in love
In love with someone
You shouldn’t’ve fallen in love with
Fallen in love with
Ever fallen in love with someone
You shouldn’t’ve fallen in love with

I'm Going To Climb The Blue Ridge Mountains Back To You
I'm Going To Climb The Blue Ridge Mountains Back To You
Composer(s): Robert Levenson; George B. McConnell
Somewhere in the Blue Ridge Mountains
far above the sad blue sea
somewhere there's a heart that's yearning
that is where I long to be
In my dreams you're near and yet so far
I'll come back to where you are
I can see the love light gleaming, guiding me along the way
to a little lonely cabin where I'll be with you for aye
As we sit beside the cabin door, I'll sing this refrain once more
I'm on my way back to you
like the mountains, dear, I know you're blue
Tho' the road is hard and long
still my love has grown so strong
that I'd follow you the whole world through
Where the mountains and the skies above are bluer
I will find someone I know is truer than skies above
pretty mountains rose, doll up in your gingham clothes
I'm goin' to climb the Blue Ridge Mountains back to you

Evening: Time To Get Away
Evening: Time To Get Away
Composer(s): John Lodge
Performer(s): The Moody Blues
Evening has come to pass
The time of day doesn't last
Evening has earned its place today
I'm tired of working away
Working, living it brings
Only way to have those things
Toiling has bought too many tears
Turn round all those past years
Evening time to get away
Evening time to get away
Evening time to get away
Till next day
Live all you people
You can see where you're at
It doesn't really hurt you
So that can depend
Evening time to get away
Live all you people
You can see where you're at
It doesn't really hurt you
So that can depend
Evening time to get away
Evening time to get away

Performer(s): Tim Curry & Chorus
and multiple other artists
Dr. Frank-N-Furter:
On the day I went away (Goodbye)
Was all I had to say (Now)
I want to come again and stay (Oh my)
Smile, and that will mean I may
'Cause I've seen blue skies
Through the tears in my eyes
And I realise I'm going home (I'm going home)
Everywhere, it's been the same (Feeling)
Like I'm outside in the rain (Wheeling)
Free to try and find a game (Dealing)
Cards for sorrow
Cards for pain
'Cause I've seen blue skies
Through the tears in my eyes
And I realsze I'm going home
(I'm going home)
(I'm going home)
(I'm going home)

Midnight winds are landing at the end of time

A true story wants to be mine

In the morning of my winter

A dragonfly laying in a coat of snow

I'm Going Higher Someday
Performer(s): Bill Gaither, Gloria Gaither, & Homecoming Friends
I'm going higher, yes higher someday
I'm going higher, yes higher to stay
Over the mountain, beyond the blue sky
Going where none ever sicken or die
Loved ones will meet in that sweet by and by
I'm going higher someday
Often my soul has been lifted above
Lost in the ocean of God's mighty love
Higher and higher, but once still I say
I'm going higher someday
I'm going higher, yes higher someday
I'm going higher, yes higher to stay
Over the mountain, beyond the blue sky
Going where none ever sicken or die
Loved ones will meet in that sweet by and by
I'm going higher someday
Soon will the Saviour appear, bless His name
And in a moment, we all will be changed
Then when he calls for his bright come away
We're going higher someday
I'm going higher, yes higher someday
I'm going higher, yes higher to stay
Over the mountain, beyond the blue sky
Going where none ever sicken or die
Loved ones will meet in that sweet by and by
I'm going higher and higher and higher
I'm going higher, yes higher someday
I'm going higher, yes higher to stay
Over the mountain, beyond the blue sky
Going were none ever sicken or die
Loved ones will meet in that sweet by and by
I'm going higher someday
I'm going higher someday
I'm going higher and higher and higher and higher someday

Evening In June
Evening In June
Composer(s): Van Morrison
Performer(s): Van Morrison
By the light of the moon
When the night holds the secrets
Of the sleepy lagoon
I´m contemplating moonlight
On the water
When I´m walking with you
On an evening in June
On an evening in June
It can get so sentimental
When I´m thinking of you
And I can´t think of anything
Except being with you
When the summer is through
On an evening in June
On an evening in June
Well it lifts me up
When I´m talking to you
On an evening in June
When the flowers are in bloom
And the sky is so blue
Well there´s so many things
Taking place
That it´s hard to keep up with it all
Keep your eye on the ball
And to make the right call
When we´re longing for fall
On this evening in June
On an evening in June
Well it lifts me up
When I´m talking to you
On an evening in June
When the flowers are in bloom
And the sky is so blue
Well there´s so many things taking place
That it´s hard to keep up with it all
Keep your eye on the ball
And to make the right call
When we´re longing for fall
On this evening in June
By the sleepy lagoon
On an evening in June
By the light of the moon
By the sleepy lagoon
On an evening in June
On an evening in June
By the sleepy lagoon
By the light of the moon
By the sleepy lagoon
On an evening in June

I'm Going Back To Where I Came From
I'm Going Back To Where I Came From
Composer(s): Jessie Mae Robinson
Performer(s): Spike Jones
I'm goin' back to where I come from
Where the honeysuckle smells so sweet it durn near makes you sick
I used to think my life was hum-drum
But I sure have leared a lesson that is bound to stick
There ain't no use of me pretendin'
The city just ain't no place for a guy like me to end in
Goin' back to where I come from
Where the mockin' bird is singin' in the lilac bush
I used to go down to the station
Every evenin' just to watch the Pullman train come rollin' in
And then one night, that great temptation
Got too great, so I just up and left my kith and kin
I took my hat and fourteen dollars
And I went through all the troubles of the plight that always follows
When you're rich and huntin' romance
But my huntin' days are over, I can tell you that
I met a man in Kansas City
An' he winked and asked me if I'd like to step around
I said "Why, yes, why sure, that's what I'm here for, betcha life"
So he said he'd take me to the hottest spots in town
He mentioned things he'd have to fix up
So he took my fourteen dollars but there must have been a mix up
He's been gone since Monday evenin'
And I've gotta hunch I'll never see that guy no more
I'm goin' back to where I come from
Where the mockin' bird is singin' in the lilac bush

Ev'ry night you come and you find me, oh Lord
And you always come and remind me, oh yes

Evenin'
Can't you see I'm deeply in your power, oh Lord?
Every minute seems like an hour, oh Lord
Since my gal, she's gone, my baby's gone, my baby's gone
Now shadow's fallin', well,
Are on the wall
That's the time I miss your kiss, most of all
Even though I try, how can I go on, oh yes, go on
Pretty baby
Evenin'
Let me sleep 'til the gray dawn is breakin', oh yes
I don't care if I don't awaken, oh Lord
Since my gal she's gone, my baby's gone, oh yes she's gone
Evenin'
Let me sleep 'til gray dawn is breakin', oh Lord
I don't care if I don't awaken, oh yes, since my gal she's gone
My baby's gone, my baby's gone
My baby's gone
