Evil Ways


Evil Ways
Composer(s): Sonny Henry; Joe Zack
Performer(s): Santana



You've got to change your evil ways, baby
Before I stop lovin' you
You've got to change, baby
And every word that I say is true
You've got me runnin' and hidin'
All over town
You've got me sneakin' and a peepin'
And runnin' you down
This can't go on
Lord knows you've got to change
Baby, baby


When I come home, baby
My house is dark and my pots are cold
You're hanging around, baby
With Jean and Joan and a who knows who
I'm getting tired of waiting and fooling around
I'll find somebody who won't
Make me feel like a clown
This can't go on
Lord knows you've got to change

I'm Past My Prime


I'm Past My Prime
Composer(s): Gene de Paul; Johnny Mercer
Emily Skinner & Alice Ripley



Daisy Mae
Marryin' Sam
I'm past my prime
What a shame
And I'm losin' time
Guess the old clock's run down
Seventeen last spring
My, what a wasted life
Still without a ring
When will you be a wife?
I'm past my peak
You're an early antique
Look at this physique
Just hear the old bones creak
Where there was a glow
There ain't a glow no more
Now the wrinkles show
Where art Thou Romeo?

Who'd think of marryin' an octogenarian,
Oh, me, oh, my
Eighty-seven year old hag
When you're in this position you'll lose your disposition
Oh, me, oh, my
All the time it's nag, nag, nag

Life's like a song
And the happiest thing
When you're young and strong
Most everyday is spring
But it's just a crime
You can't get off the time
When you're past your prime

You's past your prime
Gettin' grumpy and grey
You's on over time
Ain't making take-home pay
Every sun that sets
All through the day I frets
Brings ya more regrets
And larger silhouettes
You's climb the heights
I is over the hill
Of romantic nights
My hand has lost it's skill
Comes the cruel dawn
I's feelin' pale and drawn
Lover boy has gone
Dog gone!

I ask you who's elated when you's Methusilated
Oh, me, oh, my
Like a mummy underground
When you is antiquated ors/and dejectaquated
Oh, me, oh, my
They'd prefers you in the round

Life's just like pie
Huckleberry or peach?
When you're young and spry
Heaven's within your reach
But it's just a crime
How can it be sublime
When you're past your prime?
When you're past your prime?
When you're past your prime?

Evil Love Chain


Evil Love Chain
Composer(s): Barry Hay; George Kooymans
Performer(s): Golden Earring



She took my money
She stole my car
Broke my heart
And smashed my guitar
She slandered my name
And laughed in my face
And on Saturday night
She went and trashed the whole place

She's driving me crazy
Beyond insane
She plays with my mind
As if it's a game
And most of all
Stranger than strange
I come begging for more
Again and again

I can't break away
From the circle of pain
I can't break away
This evil love-chain

She's mean when she's happy
Cruel when she's sad
She finds something good
And she turns it to bad
She's young and good-looking
And shakes the whole bed
While black magic voodoo
Lives inside her head

The girl is a menace
A danger,a threat
Can't get no worse
She's as bad as it gets
She looks like a princess
But I know instead
She's Dracula's daughter
And the angel of death

I'm Only Sleeping


I'm Only Sleeping
Composer(s): John Lennon; Paul McCartney
First release by: The Beatles - 1966
Covered by multiple other artists



When I wake up early in the morning
Lift my head, I'm still yawning
When I'm in the middle of a dream
Stay in bed, float upstream (float upstream)
Please don't wake me, no, don't shake me
Leave me where I am, I'm only sleeping

Everybody seems to think I'm lazy
I don't mind I think they're crazy
Running everywhere at such a speed
Till they find there's no need (there's no need)

Please don't spoil my day, I'm miles away
And after all I'm only sleeping
Keeping an eye on the world going by my window
Taking my time, lying there and staring at the ceiling
Waiting for a sleepy feeling

Please don't spoil my day, I'm miles away
And after all I'm only sleeping
Keeping an eye on the world going by my window
Taking my time

When I wake up early in the morning
Lift my head, I'm still yawning
When I'm in the middle of a dream
Stay in bed, float upstream (float upstream)
Please don't wake me, no, don't shake me
Leave me where I am, I'm only sleeping

Evil Hearted Man


Evil Hearted Man
Composer(s): Brownie McGhee
Performer(s): Josh White; Dick Curless



Well, I woke up this mornin'
I was feeling mighty bad
Well, my baby said, "Good mornin'"
Hell, it made me so mad
Because l'm evil, well, evil hearted me
I'm so doggone evil, evil as a man can be

Well, she even cooked my breakfast
And she brought it to my bed
I took a sip of coffee
And threw the cup at her head
Because l was evil, evil hearted me
I'm just doggone evil, evil as a man can be

Now I don't even care
If my baby leaves me flat
'Cause I got forty-seven others
If it comes to that
Because l'm evil, evil hearted me
I'm so doggone evil, evil as a man can be

And I don't even care
If it rains from now on
An' if the girl that I love
Ain't never been bo'n
Because l'm evil, evil hearted me
And I'm so doggone evil, evil as a man can be

Evil


Evil
Composer(s): Willie Dixon
Performer(s): Canned Heat



It's a long way from home
Can't sleep at night
Call on your telephone
Something just ain't right
That's evil, evil is going on wrong
I want to warn you brother
You better watch your happy home

You make it to your house
Knock on the front door
Run 'round to the back
You'll catch him just before he goes
That's evil, evil is going on
I have warned you brother
You better watch your happy home

If you call on the telephone
And she answers long and slow
Grab the first thing smoking
And you have to haul her home
That's evil, evil is going on wrong
I have warned you brother
You better watch your happy home

I'm On The Lamb But I Ain't No Sheep
Composer(s): Eric Bloom; Albert Bouchard; Sandy Pearlman
Performer(s): Blue Öyster Cult; Stalk-Forrest Group



Canadian mounted baby, a police force that works
Red and black, that's their color scheme
get their man, in the end
It's all right, it's all right

Frontenac chateau baby
I'll cross the frontier at ten
Got a whip in my hand baby
And a girl or a husky at leather's end
It's all right, it's all right
My lovely bel punice, you'd kill and you'd maim

Hornswoop me bungo pony, dogsled on ice
Make a dash for freedom baby, don't skate on polar ice
It's to thick to be sliced by the light
Of long and white polar nights
It's all right, it's all right
My lovely bel punice, you'd kill and you'd maim

Evie


Evie
Performer(s): Stevie Wright



I got some money in my pocket, I got the car keys in my hand
I got myself a couple of tickets, to see a rock 'n' rollin' band
Come on girl just get on your shoes we're gonna hear some sou-ou-ounds
Come on babe you know there ain't no time to mess around (round, round, round, round)

Evie, Evie, Evie let your hair hang down
Evie, Evie, Evie let your hair hang down
Evie, Evie, Evie let your hair hang down
Evie, Evie - let your hair hang down

You got the body of a woman, the way you move it like a queen
You got the face to raise a riot, and still you're only seventeen
But little girl you're oh so shy, you hardly make a sou-ou-ound
Come on babe you know there ain't no time to mess around (round, round, round, round)

Evie, Evie, Evie let your hair hang down
Evie, Evie, Evie let your hair hang down
Evie, Evie, Evie let your hair hang down
Evie, Evie - let your hair hang down
Aaaahhhh

So won't you try it baby, I'll take you by the hand
'Cause there's a world out there for you, you're goin' to understa-and
You've got the chance so take it, you've just gotta pick and choose
Why don't you give it just one try, I know you can't lo-o-ose

The body of a woman, you nearly make me lose my breathe
You know you give me such a feeling, you almost scare me half to death, Ow
But little girl you're so reserved, you hardly make a sou-ou-ound
Come on baby, don't you be so shy, don't mess around (round, round, round, round)

Ow, Evie, Evie, Evie let your hair hang down (yeah, yeah, yeah-eah)
Evie (yeah), Evie, Evie let your hair hang down (Aaaahhh)
Evie, Evie, Evie let your hair hang down
(Ow Evie) Evie, Evie - let your hair hang down
Let your hair hang down, let your hair hang down
Let your hair hang down, let your hair hang down

Come on baby, Let your hair hang down
(There's a world out there for me and you to share)
Let your hair hang down, Let your hair hang down
(Try it girl, let your hair-air-air-air-air - hang down)

I'm On My Way To Mandalay


I'm On My Way To Mandalay
Composer(s): Al. Bryan; Fred Fisher



One I love, far away, far away, far away
Land of Love, Mandalay Mandalay, Mandalay
Where the waving trees kiss the ocean breeze
In a garden fair, 'mid the roses there
I'm goin' to find someone who waits for me across the sea

All night long, by the sea, by the sea, by the sea
Her love song Rings for me, rings for me, rings for me
All the world will seem just a lovely dream
And I'll never stray far from Mandalay
I'll live for one who lives alone for me in days to be

I'm on my way to Mandalay
Beneath the shelt'ring palms I want to stray
Oh, let me live and love for aye
On that Island far away
I'm sentimental for my Oriental love, so sweet and gentle
That's why I'm on my way to Mandalay
I've come to say "Good-bye"

Evidence Of Love


Evidence Of Love
Composer(s): Steve Diamond; Chris Farron
Performer(s): Gregg Allman



When I look for the love in your eyes
You turn away
And there's nothing as loud as the words
We never say
Look at us now, standing on the edge again
Look at us now, it's not too late to try again
I need some...

Evidence of love, to keep me going on
Please show me some
Evidence of love, and I'll be here
I still believe we can see it through
There's just so much, that I can do
It doesn't make sense, without some evidence of love

There's a cold, cold look on your face
Is it saying good-bye?
'Cause there's nothing as cold as the ashes
When the fire has died
Talk to me now, tell me what you're missing
Talk to me now, I'll try and find your heart again
I need some...

Evidence of love, to keep me going on
Please show me some
Evidence of love, and I'll be here
I still believe we can see it through
There's just so much, that I can do
It doesn't make sense, without some evidence of love

Stand and fight
Try to say what's on your mind, baby
So much is on the line
There's a chance we'll make it right

Look at us now, standing on the edge again
Look at us now, it's not too late to try again
I need some...

Evidence of love, to keep me going on
Please show me some
Evidence of love, and I'll be here

I'm On My Way To Dublin Bay


I'm On My Way To Dublin Bay
Composer(s): Stanley Murphy
Performer(s): The Peerless Quartet



Michael Shea he marched away with the Dublin Fusiliers
And he left the town in cheers, but he left his girl in tears
But in the rattle of the battle, Michael stood his test
And he won a Sergeant's uniform and a medal on his chest
He got a two month's furlough and he started on his way
His Irish eyes a dancin' as the Boys heard him say

Goodbye! I'm on my way to dear old Dublin Bay
That's why I'm feelin' gay
For oh! I know sweet Molly-O
My colleen, fair to see, is waiting there for me
Her heart with love a bubblin'
On Dublin Bay

Michael Shea reached Dublin Bay when the spring was in the air
And he found his colleen fair, and he hugged her like a bear
He took her down to Dublin town and Father John Malloy
Tied a doublin' knot right on the spot for Molly and her boy
Then on an Irish jaunting car beside her bold gossoon
She learned to sing this chorus by the risin' o' the moon

Goodbye! I'm on my way to dear old Dublin Bay
That's why I'm feelin' gay
For oh! I know sweet Molly-O
My colleen, fair to see, is waiting there for me
Her heart with love a bubblin'
On Dublin Bay

Goodbye! I'm on my way to dear old Dublin Bay
That's why I'm feelin' gay
For oh! I know sweet Molly-O
My colleen, fair to see, is waiting there for me
Her heart with love a bubblin'
On Dublin Bay

Évidemment


Évidemment
Composer(s): Michel Berger
Performer(s): France Gall; Attila Bardoczy;
Eva Fabian; Lara Fabian; Laurence Jalbert



Y a comme un goût amer en nous
Comme un goût de poussière dans tout
Et la colère qui nous suit partout

Y a des silences qui disent beaucoup
Plus que tous les mots qu'on avoue
Et toutes ces questions qui ne tiennent pas debout

Evidemment
Évidemment
On danse encore
Sur les accords
Qu'on aimait tant

Évidemment
Évidemment
On rit encore
Pour les bêtises
Comme des enfants
Mais pas comme avant

Et ces batailles dont on se fout
C'est comme une fatigue, un dégoût
A quoi ça sert de courir partout
On garde cette blessure en nous
Comme une éclaboussure de boue
Qui n'change rien, qui change tout

Évidemment
Évidemment
On rit encore
Pour les bêtises
Comme des enfants
Mais pas comme avant
Pas comme avant

I'm On My Way Back To The Old Home


I'm On My Way Back To The Old Home
Composer(s): Bill Monroe
Performer(s): Bill Monroe
and multiple other artists



Back in the day of my childhood
In the evening when everything was still
I used to listen to the foxes
And my dad in them old Kentucky hills

I'm on my way back to the old home
That road winds on up the hill
But there's no light in the window
That shines long ago where I lived

Soon my childhood days are over
I had to leave my old home
For dad and mom was called to heavebn
We'll I'm left in this world all alone

I'm on my way back to the old home
That road winds on up the hill
But there's no light in the window
That shines long ago where I lived

High in the hills of old Kentucky
Stands a fond spot in my memory
I'm on my way back to the old home
That light in the window I want to see

I'm on my way back to the old home
That road winds on up the hill
But there's no light in the window
That shines long ago where I lived

Mets ton masque à gaz Sokolov
Que tes fermentations anaérobies
Fassent éclater les tubas de ta renommée
Et que les vents irrépressibles
Transforment abscisses et ordonnées
En de sublimes anamorphoses

I'm On Fire (Bruce Springsteen)


I'm On Fire
Composer(s): Bruce Springsteen
First release by: Bruce Springsteen - 1984
Covered by multiple other artists



Hey little girl is your daddy home
Did he go away and leave you all alone
I got a bad desire
I'm on fire

Tell me now baby is he good to you
Can do to you the things that I do
I can take you higher
I'm on fire

Sometimes it's like, someone took a knife
Baby edgy and dull and cut a six-inch
Valley through the middle of my soul

At night I wake up with the sheets
Soaking wet and a freight train running
Through the middle of my head
Only you can cool my desire
I'm on fire

You are everywhere, everywhere you’re there
Night and day you share with me
Now I know you’re gone
You still linger on
You’re a haunting memory

I walk an empty street
And somehow we meet
Yet no-one’s there but me
For now I’m on my own
I’ll never walk alone
For you are everywhere with me

I walk an empty street
And somehow we meet
Yet no-one’s there but me
For now I’m on my own
I’ll never walk alone
For you are everywhere with me
