I'm The One (Black Flag)
I'm The One
Composer(s): Kira Roessler; Henry Rollins
Performer(s): Black Flag
I was looking for a lover
Living underneath the sun
I thought I was the other
When I knew I was the one
Caught a handle on the rising sun
Took a day to rise and fall
At the end of the trail I was scarred and burned
But I felt no pain at all
Walking through a world of lies
With a heart made out of stone
I looked deep into my eyes
And I knew I was alone
I'm a son of a son
I'm the son of the sun
My death trip
Has just begun

Eyesight To The Blind
Eyesight To The Blind
Composer(s): Sonny Boy Williamson
Performer(s): Sonny Boy Williamson;
and various other artists
You're talking about your woman
I wish to God, man, that you could see mine
You're talking about your woman, I wish to God that you could see mine
Every time the little girl start to loving, she bring eyesight to the blind
Lord, her daddy must been a millionaire, 'cause I can tell by the way she walk
Her daddy must been a millionaire, because I can tell by the way she walk
Every time she start to loving, the deaf and dumb begin to talk
I remember one Friday morning, we was lying down across the bed
Man in the next room a-dying, stopped dying and lift up his head, and said
"Lord, ain't she pretty, and the whole state know she fine!"
Every time she start to loving, she bring eyesight to the blind
(Spoken: All right and all right, now
Lay it on me, lay it on me, lay it on me
Oh lordy, what a woman, what a woman!)
Yes, I declare she's pretty and the whole state knows she's fine
Man, I declare she's pretty, God knows I declare she's fine
Every time she starts to loving, whoo, she brings eyesight to the blind
(I've got to get out of here, now, let's go, let's go, let's go now)

I'm The Lonesomest Gal In Town
I'm The Lonesomest Gal In Town
Composer(s): Lew Brown; Harry Von Tilzer
Performer(s): Kay Starr
and multiple other artists
I'm the lonesomest gal in town
Everybody has thrown me down
I got no angel child to ever call me dear
Got no honey man to ever cuddle near
But I'm learnin' to roll my eyes
And someday you may be surprised
When I steal someone's lovin' man
And kiss him with a smack
I'll hug him and I'll squeeze him
But I'll never give him back
`Cos I`m lonesome, so very lonesome
I'm the lonesomest gal in this here town
If you read in the papers some day
That some poor girl has passed away
Don't shed a tear if you should hear
That gal was me, and if you see
My picture in the paper with a smile on my face
I was broken hearted, that smile was out of place
If you wanna save a gal from her grave
Find me a man if you can
I'm the lonesomest gal in town
Everybody is throwin' me down
I got no angel child to ever call me dear
Got no honey man to ever cuddle near
But I'm learnin', I'm gonna roll my eyes
And someday you're gonna be surprised
When I steal someone's lovin' man
And kiss him with a smack
I'll hug him and I'll squeeze him
But I'll never give him back
`Cos I`m lonesome, so very lonesome
I'm the lonesomest gal in this or any other town

Eyes Without A Face
Eyes Without A Face
Composer(s): Billy Idol; Steve Stevens
Performer(s): Billy Idol;
and various other artists
I'm all out of hope
One more bad dream could bring a fall
When I'm far from home
Don't call me on the phone
To tell me you're alone
It's easy to deceive
It's easy to tease
But hard to get release
Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face
Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face
Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face
Got no human grace your eyes without a face
I spend so much time
Believing all the lies
To keep the dream alive
Now it makes me sad
It makes me mad at truth
For loving what was you
Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face
Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face
Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face
Got no human grace your eyes without a face
When you hear the music you make a dip
Into someone else's pocket then make a slip
Steal a car and go to Las Vegas oh, the gigolo pool
I'm on a bus on a psychedelic trip
Reading murder books tryin' to stay hip
I'm thinkin' of you you're out there so
Say your prayers
Say your prayers
Say your prayers
Now I close my eyes
And I wonder why
I don't despise
Now all I can do
Is love what was once
So alive and new
But it's gone from your eyes
I'd better realise
Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face
Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face
Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face
Got no human grace your eyes without a face
Such a human waste your eyes without a face
And now it's getting worse

I'm The King Of Broken Hearts
I'm The King Of Broken Hearts
Composer(s): Frederick Tobias; Jerry Tobias
Performer(s): Tony Bennett
My castle's a room where each night I'm alone
A chair in the corner is my only throne
And all that I rule is a now-silent phone
I'm the King of Broken Hearts
My minstral sings lovesongs on my phonograph
Each song brings back mem'ries of your haunting laugh
And each face in my court looks like your photograph
I'm the King of Broken Hearts
I thought that I'd forget in time
The tender kiss you gave
But now I realize that I'm
A ruler who's only a slave
A scarf that you left now is my royal cloak
On my coat of arms are the love words you spoke
And my crown is a dream that has vanished in smoke
I'm the King of Broken Hearts

Eyes That Say "I Love You"
Eyes That Say "I Love You"
Composer(s): Fred Fisher
I've often heard it said that eyes are just windows of the soul
And in that little game of love, they play the leading role
I've studied every color, and learn'd to realize
The wondrous charm that lies within a pair of roguish eyes
A mother tells her baby just by looking in its eyes
A doctor with a single glance, knows where the trouble lies
We tell a cook that's clever that she must Hooverize
But you can't tell a woman just by looking in her eyes
Eyes that are always telling lies, naughty eyes
Eyes that are blue or grey
What do they want to make those eyes at me for, at you for
Just to steal your heart away
Eyes that can fool the very wise
Wicked eyes
Eyes that can look you thru
But of all the eyes I see, only two look good to me
They're the eyes that say "I love you"

I'm The Guy Who Found The Lost Chord
I'm The Guy Who Found The Lost Chord
Composer(s): Earl Brent; Jimmy Durante
Performer(s): Jimmy Durante; Roy Bargy
I was sitting at my piano, the other day
But my mind was ill at ease
They were coming to take it away that afternoon
I was all by myself in a mellow mood
Improvising symphonies
My right hand was playing Mozart's minuet
And at the same time my left hand was playing; have a banana; from Carmen
And at the same time my mouth was whistling a sextet from Luicini
And at the same time What do you think my foot was doing?
While keeping time it was cracking walnuts; see I had to eat too
Then in the midst of all soliloquy
I found it, I found it
The Lost Chord
The Lost Chord!
So let's celebrate I'm feeling great
I'm the guy that found the Lost chord
I'll have my name in the hall of fame
'cos I went and found that lost chord
Everyone knows Tchaikovsky wasn't recognised for 300 years
Brahms wasn't recognised for 400 years
Beethoven wasn't recognised for 500 years
But I can't wait that long I've only got two changes of clothes!
People said I was mad. but that didn't trouble me
They said Mozart was mad
They said Puccini was mad
They said Louis was mad
Who's Louis?
My uncle, he was mad!
So let's celebrate I'm feeling great
I'm the guy that found the Lost chord
You know it wasn't easy finding that Lost chord
Working in my attic I didn't sleep for days and days
I'd be in terrible shape if I hadn't slept nights!
First I put an A flat with a B minor
Then I put a B minor with and F major
Then I put and F minor with a B major
Then I tried an A and a B and a B and a C
And a C and a D and a D and E and an E and a F
And a F and a G
What a piano no apostrophe's!
And this is what I came up with (plays wrong chord)
What's happened that isn't the chord (plays wrong chord)
Neither is that (plays wrong chord)
Neither is that (plays wrong chord)
And neither is that!
I lost the chord a catatstrophe
I'm gonna sit down on the keyboard of this piano until the chord is return
(sits down bum plays the right chord)
That's it the lost chord!
I found it, I found by sitting on the piano keyboard
Strange I usually play by ear!
So let's celebrate I'm feeling great
I'm the guy that found the Lost chord

I'm The Greatest
I'm The Greatest
Composer(s): John Lennon
Performer(s): Ringo Starr; David Hentschel; John Lennon
When I was a little boy
Way back home in Liverpool
My mama told me, I was great
Then when I was a teenager
I knew that I had got something going
All my friends told me I was great
And now I'm a man
A woman took me by the hand
And you know what she told me ... I was great
I was in the greatest show on earth
For what it was worth
Now I'm only thirty-two
And all I wanna do, is boogaloo
Hey!
I looked in the mirror
I saw my wife and kids
And you know what they told me ... I was great
Yes, my name is Billy Shears
You know it has been for so many years
Now I'm only thirty-two
And all I wanna do, is boogaloo
Hey, hey, hey, (hey, hey, hey) yeah
(hey, hey, hey)
I'm the greatest and you better believe it, baby
Ho! Ho! Ho!
I'm gonna be the greatest in this world (ho!)
In the next world and in any world! (hey!)
Alright, alright, alright, alright, alright, alright
Alright, alright, alright, alright, alright, alright
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, all right

Eyes Of The Immigrant
Eyes Of The Immigrant
Composer(s): Eric Andersen
Performer(s): Eric Andersen
They came by day, and they came by night
They came like cattle they were packed so tight
They rolled on the stairways and they slept on the decks
And the only thing they knew was they could not turn back
They came from Sweden and they came from France
They came from up and down along the continent
They came in floods and they came in waves
They came for glory and they came to escape
Some held their breath in the morning light
As New York Harbor came into sight
They leaned on the rails and the decks just to see
A statue of a lady known as "Liberty"
Their hands gripped the rails and their eyes peered up
Some were crying with their eyes; some were crying with their hearts
They were dreaming of the future; they were crying for a chance
Maybe the son of a shipper could even be the president
Chorus:
Eyes of the healthy and eyes of the lame
Eyes of the free and the eyes of the chain
Eyes of the wealthy and eyes of the poor
Eyes of an Indian who rides nevermore
Always remember and never forget
Beneath all the dirt and beneath all the sweat
Who looked to the future and knew what it meant
But the hearts and the minds and the souls and the dreams
In the eyes, eyes of the Immigrant
Out of Ellis Island they poured like sheep
Onto the land and into the streets
With their hands on their children and their coats on their backs
They brought nothing more than they could fit in their sacks
Carpenters, steel workers, firemen, and cops
Peddled rags full of shoes in all the neighborhood shops
They worked with their hands and they worked with their backs
Bringin' coal from the ground and puttin' smoke up the stacks
Wave after wave the flood never stopped
Soon the ones on the bottom they rose to the top
They dreamed and they said no matter how its gotten bad
You give to your kids the things that you never had
Be doctors and lawyers and chairmen of the boards
Be the guardians of peace and protectors in the wars
You work with your knowledge and your skills and your minds
Now its everybody's future that you hold in your sights
Chorus
Some tried to settle, some couldn't out of fear
Some kept dreaming of the new frontier
Everybody was convinced they had a place in the sun
That it wasn't what you were so much as what you could become
Everybody's future wasn't everybody's dream
The land could be barren and the streets could be mean
It was a fact in the suburbs and the farms and the shacks
That you only knew ahead there ain't no room to fall back
This is the land and the home of the free
That's what we want the whole world to believe
Not everybody makes it to the top of the heap
Some were brought in chains from far across the sea
Some lost their way and some lost track
And some realized that you can't look back
And sometimes you hear it but you don't know where
The sound of the waves still crashing in your ear
Chorus
Of the immigrant

I'm The Fool In Love With The Fool
I'm The Fool In Love With The Fool
Performer(s): Reba McEntire
You don't know me but I know who you are
Mind if I sit down?
Do I look familiar?
If I don't well I see
I'm sure you've seen me around
I know you've probably heard my name
Though we've not been introduced
I'm the fool in love with the fool
Who's still in love with you
If you've got a minute
I'll buy you a drink
I've got something to say
It might sound crazy
But last night in his sleep
I heard him call out your name
This ain't the first time
He's done it before
And it's hard to face the truth
I'm the fool in love with the fool
Who's still in love with you
I know love is a fragile thing
But I'm trying hard to make it last
But it ain't easy holding onto my dream
When he's holding onto the past
Just one more thing before I go
I'm not here to put you down
You don't love him and that's a fact
Girl I've seen you around
But you hold his heart in the palm of you hands
And it's breaking mine in two
Cos I'm the fool in love with the fool
Who's still in love with you
I'm the fool in love with the fool
Who's still in love with you

Eyes Of The Girl
Eyes Of The Girl
Composer(s): Wang Chung
Performer(s): Wang Chung
On her televison, on her mamma’s radio
She could paint a picture
More alive than all she ought to know
Her imagination running wild, she let it grow
In her imagination
Oh she felt she loved him so
Chorus:
The eyes of the girl are following me
Looking for the man that she pinned on me
The tears for a love that could never be
Now it’s all over
They’re raining on me
Oh it’s raining
It’s an empty world with a lifetime on your hands
Oh we must believe that
Something someone somewhere understands
Our imagination wants to capture what we feel
In our imagination
Everything is real
Repeat chorus
Tears fall from the eyes of the girl
And the girl is watching me
Tears fall from the eyes of the girl
And the girl is watching me
Baby, please release me from the power of your mind
Baby, please release me, leave this crazy scheme behind
Baby, please release me
Baby, please release me
Repeat chorus
Tears fall from the eyes of the girl
And the girl is watching me

I'm The Boy
I'm The Boy
(English Version: Boy Toy - 2006)
Composer(s): Serge Gainsbourg
First release by: Serge Gainsbourg - 1984
I'm the boy that can enjoy invisibility
I'm the boy le garçon qui a le don d'invisibilité
Ombre parmi les ombres
Des nocturnes torrides
Je me perds dans le nombre
Pour atteindre au sordide
I'm the boy that can enjoy invisibility
I'm the boy le garçon qui a le don d'invisibilité
Masque parmi les masques
Tragiques ou d'amertume
Le cuir noir et les casques
Scintillant sous la lune
I'm the boy that can enjoy invisibility
I'm the boy le garçon qui a le don d'invisibilité
Âme parmi les âmes
Fébriles dans leurs angoisses
Lorsque brille une lame
Ou un regard salace
I'm the boy that can enjoy invisibility
I'm the boy le garçon qui a le don d'invisibilité
Homme parmi les hommes
Dans le noir ou l'ivoire
Recherchant les symptômes
D'orgasmes illusoires
I'm the boy that can enjoy invisibility
I'm the boy le garçon qui a le don d'invisibilité
Putain parmi les putes
J'enfonce dans la fange
Où s'étreignent les brutes
Et se saignent les anges
I'm the boy that can enjoy invisibility
I'm the boy le garçon qui a le don d'invisibilité

Eyes Of Love
Eyes Of Love
Composer(s): Bob Ezrin; Trevor Rabin
Performer(s): Trevor Rabin
Are you waiting for your freedom
Or a love you just don't know?
I can see you through my window
Did you know your feelings show?
Are you looking towards the border?
Hold out for something new
Does the white, bright, right and degradation
Wear you down the way we want it to
Calling on you for confirmation
In a way that we feel is good for you
Chorus
Eyes of love look!
Down on me
When you gonna see
Eyes of love send down the key
Will you deliver me
Are you searching for an answer?
Are you questioning it all?
I can reach you
But I can't feel you
Are you living in surrender
Or just waiting for a call?
Does the white, bright, right and degradation
Wear you down the way we want it to
We will control the information
In a way that we feel is good for you
Chorus

Boy Toy (Marc Almond)
Boy Toy
(Adapted from: I'm The Boy - 1984)
Composer(s): Serge Gainsbourg; Paul Ives, Boris Bergman
Performer(s): Marc Almond & Trash Palace - 2006
A shadow within shadows
Uncounted nights of sleaze
A pointed, broken arrow
To sting, to hurt, to please
A mask within masks
Pathetic and bitter
Black leather's in to last
Shining eyes lead to glitter
I'm the boy who can enjoy invisibility
I'm the boy who can enjoy invisibility
I'm the boy, a see-through toy that no-one else can see
A soul within souls
Weakened from the fear
A blade, a look, that's all
Takes two to get that near
A man within manhood
Back room without a view
White nights long, black nights good
Wounded knees for Soldier Blue
I'm the boy who can enjoy invisibility
I'm the boy who can enjoy invisibility
I'm the boy, a see-through toy that no-one else can see
A hooker amongst the whores
On a rough ride to hell
Where the big boys play ball
While angels won't tell
I'm the boy who can enjoy invisibility
I'm the boy who can enjoy invisibility
I'm the boy who can enjoy invisibility
I'm the boy, a see-through toy that no-one else can see

Eyes Of Fire
Eyes Of Fire
Composer(s): Ritchie Blackmore;
Joe Lynn Turner; Bob Rondinelli
Performer(s): Rainbow
Hungry and wild she was born to the night
A demon, a daughter or madness
One look from her eyes could burn you alive...
Drown you in oceans of sadness
Oh - even the deadly shades of night
Won't let me hide...from her eyes of fire
Face in the mirror we meet eye to eye
Passions of eternal fire
Desperately wanting and out of control
Dancing on winds of desire
Oh - even the deadly shades of night
Won't let me hide...from her eyes of fire
Curtain of darkness, screams of delight
Taunts me with her sirens calling...
I got to be strong but I can't hang on
Into the flames I am falling...
Oh - even the deadly shades of night
Won't let me hide (no, no, no, no)
from her eyes of fire...
She keeps burning...
She keeps burning me, burning me
Burning me, burning me down
Eyes of fire

Say you love me and I will be sure
I'm in love with you now
I'm in love with you now

Eyes Of Blue
Eyes Of Blue
Composer(s): Paul Carrack
Performer(s): Paul Carrack
I want to know how does it feel
Behind those eyes of blue
You’ve made your mistakes
And now your heart aches
Behind those eyes of blue
People may say you’ve had your chance
And let it slip away
But hard as they try
There’s a dream that won’t die
Behind those eyes of blue
Maybe once in a while
There’s a trace of a smile
Behind those eyes of blue
But it’s painfully clear
There’s a river of tears
Behind those eyes of blue
You know life is too short
For comprimising
Take a hold of your dream
And realise it
You know there’s nothing left
To stand in your way
Except yourself and I know
Though your heart's full of pain
That a hope still remains
Behind those eyes of blue
