Home Is Where The Heart Is (Elvis Presley)


Home Is Where The Heart Is
Composer(s): Sherman Edwards; Hal David; Donald Meyer
Performer(s): Elvis Presley



Home is where the heart is
And my heart is anywhere you are
Anywhere you are is home

I don't need a mansion
On a hill that overlooks the sea
Anywhere you're with me is home

Maybe I'm a rolling stone
Who won't amount to much
But everything that I hold dear
Is close enough to touch

For home is where the heart is
And my heart is anywhere you are
Anywhere you are is home

Maybe I'm a rolling stone
Who won't amount to much
But everything that I hold dear
Is close enough to touch

For home is where the heart is
And my heart is anywhere you are
Anywhere you are is home, home, home, home, home

Stick It On The Wall, Mrs. Riley


Stick It On The Wall, Mrs. Riley
Composer(s): Arion - Madden
Performer(s): Billy Cotton & His Band



Stick it on the wall, Mrs. Riley
Enough’s enough for any old bit of fluff

(Alan)
Mrs. Riley wears a fur that really is a sight
A cross between a door mat and a cat that lost a fight
She wears it summer, autumn, spring,
Whenever she goes out
And when she’s coming down the street
You’ll hear the neighbours shout

Stick it on the wall, Mrs. Riley
Don’t you think you’ve had it long enough
Stick it in the fire, Mrs. Riley
There comes an end to every bit of fluff
It’s made a meal for every moth
That’s fluttered round the town
It’s worn and torn and all forlorn
It’s time you laid it down
So stick it on the wall, Mrs. Riley
The poor old thing is getting much too rough
I mean your bit of beaver, Mrs. Riley
Enough’s enough for any old piece of fluff

(Billy)
Why don’t you stick it on the wall, Mrs Riley

(Alan)
Splendid idea, William

(Billy)
Don’t you think you’ve had it long enough

(Alan)
Yes and actually I should stick it in the fire, Mrs Riley

(Billy)
Good a place as any

(Alan)
There comes an end to every bit of fluff

(Billy)
March of time, old boy
It’s made a meal for every moth
that’s fluttered round the town

(Alan)
It’s worn and torn and all forlorn
It’s time you laid it down

(Both)
So stick it on the wall, Mrs Riley

(Alan)
The poor old thing is getting much too rough

(Billy)
Wear and tear, old man
We mean your bit of beaver, Mrs Riley

(Alan)
Of course

(Both)
Enough’s enough for any old piece of fluff

Stick it on the wall, Mrs. Riley

Home In The Woods


Home In The Woods
Composer(s): Robert Ellen
Performer(s): Lightnin' Hopkins



I'm gonna find me another home
I'm gonna find it way out in the woods
I'm gonna find me another home, find it way out in the woods
So I can let all them no good women know, whoa, I don't mean them no good

Yes everybody tells me
in my neighborhood
You mess with a woman she don't mean you no good
I'm gonna find me a home, way out in the woods
So I can let all these old no-good women know, I don't mean them no good

She used to be a good woman but she didn't do what she should
And that's the reason I'm gonna find me a home out in the woods
I don't mean them no good
Still I want you to know
I did the best I could

Peace Will Come


Peace Will Come
Composer(s): Kim Breitburg - Karen Kavaleryan
First performance by: Diana Gurtskaya - 2008



Look, the sky is crying cold bitter tears
Weeping for the people lost in fear
While we fight for nothing, my eyes run dry
Are you still so blind to ask me why?
Why?

Say it out loud: peace will come
Everybody, shout: peace will come
When you stop and tame your rage
Something's gotta change
Something's gotta change

Say it out loud: peace will come
Everybody, shout: peace will come
Blow the trumpet, beat the drum
Peace will come

Sometimes words kill faster than bullets do
But the face of war is never true
Kids with guns are always too young to die
Are you still so deaf to ask me why?
Why?

Say it out loud: peace will come
Everybody, shout: peace will come
When you stop and tame your rage
Something's gotta change
Something's gotta change

Say it out loud: peace will come
Everybody, shout: peace will come
Blow the trumpet, beat the drum
Peace will come

My land is still crying, torn in half
My world is slowly dying
My heart is only crying
Peace and love
Oh no, no, no

Say it out loud: peace will come
Everybody, shout: peace will come
When you stop and tame your rage
Something's gotta change
Something's gotta change

Say it out loud: peace will come
Everybody, shout: peace will come
Blow the trumpet, beat the drum
Peace will come

Blow the trumpet, beat the drum
Peace will come

Home In The Mountains


Home In The Mountains
Composer(s): Don Reno
Performer(s): Don Reno



I want to go back to my home in the mountains
Where shade trees grow all around
Where grass grows so green and flowers are still blooming
I'm leaving and that's where I'm bound

I'm only a man, I don't care for riches
I'm tired of living this way
I'm going back to my home in the mountains
And this time I'm going to stay

I want to be free where the birds are still singing
And whippoorwills call out at night
The air is still clear and neighbors say howdy
And stars in Heaven shine bright

I'm only a man, I don't care for riches
I'm tired of living this way
I'm going back to my home in the mountains
And this time I'm going to stay

Stick Around


Stick Around
Performer(s): AC/DC



You've been smiling lately baby
You've been singing in the bath
You've been acting like a lady
Not a dirty photograph
Then tonight you came home early
Packed a bag or two
It's been worrying me honey
Just what you're gonna do, ooh

Stick around, yeah, stick around
Stick around, baby, stick around

Well you came on like a hurricane, hey
About a month ago
Blowing like a stiff breeze
Always on the go
All the good times that we had baby
All stayed in the past
All the good lays that I get
Never seem to last

Stick around, yeah, stick around
Stick around, baby, stick around
Come on baby, sit on this

What have I been doing lately
To make you wanna go
I take you out dancing
Honey we can go out to a show
Spend a night romancing
Nights out on the town
Listen to me baby
You'll be glad you stuck around

Stick around, yeah, stick around, oh honey
Stick around, yeah, stick around
Stick around, around, around, around, around
Stick around, c'mon baby stick around don't let me down
Stick around, yeah, stick around

Home For Sale


Home For Sale
Composer(s): Dwight Yoakam
Performer(s): Dwight Yoakam



Home for sale
That's much too large
Too many rooms
Big ole empty yard
Far more space
Than the owner needs
Price includes
All memories

Home for sale
Restored like new
Just a place
Two lives outgrew
A change in heart
Forces move away
Would like to keep
But just can't stay

Listen close and you might
hear the sound
Of what you think is rainfall
leaking down
The roof is fine
Set aside your fears
It's just a few remaining tears

Home for sale
Not all that old
A family's dream
Stands dark and cold
Scenic views
That go for free
Of all the love
That used to be

Home for sale
That's much too large

Airport (Wet Willie)


Airport
Composer(s): John Anthony
Performer(s): Wet Willie



My baby came in a plane last night
We went down to meet her, but I had the wrong flight
Yea the man at the desk said that she wasn't due
He said she wouldn't be in for an hour or too

No, no, no

We waited, we waited, until i broke
I said to myself this must be a joke
I went up to the desk and said look here man
What time did you say my baby's gonna land?
Well he looked at his book and he said hey sport
You got the right plane baby, but the wrong airport

I finally got to see my baby you see
A half an hour later she was laying next to me
She was lookin real good and she sounded alright
Ya know my baby knocked me around and she found a fight

Outa sight

Home Before Dark


Home Before Dark
Composer(s): Jimmy McHugh; Sammy Cahn



Home before dark
I hurry home before dark
Before the sun goes to rest
I must fly to my nest like the lark
Home before dark
I must get home before dark
It’s almost ready to storm
And love waits with a warm remark

Home before dark
It’s good to be home before dark
So good to be held in the arms
The arms of the one I love

Airport (The Motors)


Airport
Composer(s): Andy McMaster
Performer(s): The Motors



So many destination faces going to so many places
Where the weather is much better
And the food is so much cheaper
Well I help her with her baggage for her baggage is so heavy
I hear the plane is ready by the gateway to take my love away
And I can't believe that she really wants to leave me and it's getting me so
It's getting me so

Airport
Airport, you've got a smiling face
You took the one I love so far away
Fly her away - fly her away - airport
Airport, you've got a smiling face
You took my lady to another place
Fly her away - fly her away

The plane is on the move
And the traces of the love we had in places
Are turning in my mind - how I wish I'd been much stronger
For the wheels are turning faster as I hear the winds are blowing
And I know that she is leaving
On the jet plane way down the runaway
And I can't believe that she really wants to leave me - and it's
Getting me so
It's getting me so

Airport
Airport, you've got a smiling face ...

Airport
Airport, you've got a smiling face ...

Home And Dry


Home And Dry
Composer(s): Gerry Rafferty
Performer(s): Gerry Rafferty



This silver bird takes me 'cross the sky
Just one more hour and I'll be home and dry
'Cross the ocean, way above the clouds I come stealin'

Feelin' tired, but I feel good
Cause I did everything I said I would
I think of you, and I know how you'll be feelin'

I gotta see you, I gotta be with you
We'll make it better now in every way
It's gotta be you, it's gotta be you
Yes from now on I'll tell you everyday

Way up here above this timeless sea
I realize just what it is you mean to me
You give me somethin' when I thought that everything we had was dyin'

I need a reason just to make me carry on
Well I know better now, I know where I belong
I can't imagine how I ever let myself just give up tryin'

I gotta see you, I gotta be with you
We'll make it better now in every way
It's gotta be you, it's gotta be you
Yes from now on I'll tell you everyday

Oooooh, yes home and dry

Ain't nothin' up here gonna slow me down
You know I never had to take the long way 'round
I think of you, 'cause I know how you'll be feelin'

This silver bird takes me 'cross the sky
Just one more hour and I'll be home and dry
'Cross the ocean, way above the clouds I come stealin'

I gotta see you, I gotta be with you
We'll make it better now in every way
It's gotta be you, it's gotta be you
Yes from now on I'll tell you everyday

Oooooh, yes home and dry

Hello Walls, No. 2


Hello Walls, No. 2
Composer(s): Willie Nelson - Sheb Wooley
Performer(s): Ben Colder



Holy mackerel there!

Hello wall
I didn't see you standin' there
Did I hurt you?
Boy I sure did hit you square
Now one of us is plastered and I'll let you guess who
Just imagine bumpin' in to you

Hey wall (hello hello)
Why did you let them move the door
And the ceiling, why it used to be the floor
Someone came while I was out and changed you all around
Or could it be that I'm standin' upside down

That chandalier is all lit up
It just took a swing at me
And someone put the bathtub
Where the kitchen sink used to be

Hello bedsheet (hello hello)
I guess I'd better lay me down
You know I can't sleep if this bed keeps spinnin' round
There's a picture on the head board, hey I've seen them folks before
Son of a gun! I'm in the house next door (hello hello)
Hello neighbor

Home Among The Gum Trees


Home Among The Gum Trees
Composer(s): Bob Brown; Walter Johnson Jr.
Performer(s): John Williamson; Bloodwood



I've been around the world
A couple of times or maybe more
I've seen the sights, I've had delights
On every foreign shore
But when my friends all ask me
The place that I adore
I tell them right away

(chorus)
Give me a home among the gum trees
With lots of plum trees
A sheep or two and a kangaroo
A clothes lines out the back
Veranda at the front
And an old rocking chair

You can see me in the kitchen
Cooking up a roast
Or vegemite on toast
Just you and me and a cup of tea
Later on we'll settle down
And loll upon the porch
And watch the possums play

(chorus)

Some people like their houses
With fences all around
Others live in mansions
And some beneath the ground
But me I like the bush you know
With rabbits runnin' round
And a pumpkin vine out the back

(chorus twice)

Country Music In My Soul


Country Music In My Soul
Composer(s): Bobby Bond
Performer(s): George Hamilton IV



I been travelin' down the highways with my guitar for so long
Shakin' hands and meetin' lots of folks
Living my life my way with a handshake and a song
Caring little if I was rich or broke

Cause there's country music in my soul
People music for the young and the old
I'll keep on singing a song keep on keeping on
Cause there's country music in my soul

Well I met a man in Illinois who came to hear our show
Well he brought his wife and all his fourteen kids
Why he took the trouble Lord I swear I'll never know
Well we'd give 'em everything we had to give

Cause there's country music in my soul...

When the final curtain falls and I go to meet the Lord
If he asks me what I think I'd like to do
I'll humbly request he seat the people on the floor
Cause I kinda like to sing 'em all the tune

Cause there's country music in my soul
People music for the young and the old
I'll keep on singing a song keep on keeping on
Cause there's country music in my soul
Yeah yeah yes there's country music in my soul
Oh oh yes there's country music in my soul

Home Again
Composer(s): Barry Manilow; Marty Panzer
Performer(s): Barry Manilow



Always, and always
now
where there was just one
there 'll be two
And you won't be alone again

I'm home again

Over, and over
now
we'll make up for nights
that we missed
And kiss like we once kissed again

I'm home again

Close your eyes
I'll close mine

Remember how much we once had
and babe, I'm so glad
to be home again

love you I love you
now there's no one but you in my life
And I won't let you go again

I'm home again

love you I love you
more than anything else in my life
And I won't let you go again
I'm home again

When The Blues Come In From The Rain


When The Blues Come In From The Rain
Composer(s): Jack Blanchard
Performer(s): Jack Blanchard & Misty Morgan



When the river's running gray on a dark and cloudy day
And the winds that bring October
Make the reeds and weeds and cattails sway
Thinking my life over, I see your face again
When the blues come in from the rain
When the leaves are coming down on the sidewalks wet and brown
And the cars all have their lights on
As they make their way back home from town
Time may fade your picture, but it sure don't dull the pain
When the blues come in from the rain

Don't get me wrong, I'm not sayin' I'm to blame
Just the same, I've got an empty feeling inside
Sometimes I'd like to break right down and call your name
But all that I've got left now is my pride

When the blues come in from the rain
And your face appears, the tears are only
Raindrops on my window pane
Still, if I could live life over, I'd go back the way we came
When the blues come in from the rain

When the blues come in from the rain
And your face appears, the tears are only
Raindrops on my window pane
Still, if I could live life over, I'd go back the way we came
When the blues come in from the rain
When the blues come in from the rain

Home (Vic Damone)


Home
Composer(s): Peter Van Steeden; Harry Clarkson
Performer(s): Vic Damone



Ev'ning marks the close of day
Skies of blue begin to grey
Crimson hues are fading in the West
Ev'ning ever brings to me
Dreams of days that used to be
Memories of those I love the best

When shadows fall
And trees whisper day is ending
My thoughts are ever wending Home
When crickets call
My heart is ever yearning
Once more to be returning Home

When the hills conceal the setting sun
Stars begin a peeping one by one
Night covers all
And, though fortune may forsake me
Sweet dreams will ever take me Home

Home (Stephanie Mills)


Home Composer(s): Charles Smalls First release by: Stephanie Mills - 1975 Covered by multiple other artists



When I think of home
I think of a resting place
A place where there's peace, quiet, and serenity
And that's where some of my friends have gone
Friends who have traveled with me through my wonderful experience in Oz
A journey I'll never forget

When I think of home, I think of a place
Where there's love overflowing
I wish I was home, I wish I was back there
With the things I've been knowing

Wind that makes the tall grass bend into leaning
Suddenly the raindrops that fall they have a meaning
Sprinklin' the scene
Makes it all clean

(When I think of home)
Maybe there's a chance for me to go back
Now that I have some direction
(Maybe there's a chance I'll get home)
It sure would be nice to be back at home
Where there's love and affection

And just maybe I can convince time to slow up
Givin' me enough time, ooh, in my life to grow up
Time be my friend
And let me start again

Suddenly my world's gone and changed its fate
And I still know where I'm going
I have had my mind spun round in space
And watched it growing

And oh, if youre listening, God, please don't make it hard
To know if we should believe the things that we see
Tell us should we try and stay or should we run away (Should we run away)
Or will it be better just to let things, let them be, oh

Livin' here in this brand new world
Might be a fantasy
But it's taught me to love, oh, yeah
And it's real, it's so real, it's real to me

And I've learned that we must look
Inside our hearts to find
A world full of love
Like yours, like mine

Like home
Like, like home
(When I think of home)
My friends smilin' down on me
Givin' me their energy, oh
(When I think of home)
I think of a peaceful world and joy
All around me, yeah
(When I think of home)
And love that we share can never
Never, ever be taken away from me, yeah, yeah, yeah
(When I think of home)
I just sit down and think
And gets on down in my bone, bone, yeah
(When I think of home)
I can hear my friends tellin' me
Stephanie, please sing my song
I wanna sing, I wanna shout
I wanna tell you what it's all about

Big Black Bird (The Spirit Of Our Love)


Big Black Bird (The Spirit Of Our Love)
Composer(s): Jack Blanchard
Performer(s): Jack Blanchard & Misty Morgan



I woke up in the night and saw the moonlight shinin' through my windows
I sat up and looked around startled by the sound I thought I'd heard
Through the silver hills high above the treetops where the wind blows
Flies the spirit of my love like the shadow of a big black bird
There was something in the air I could feel it as I stood there by the windows
Like a sign of a lover or the whisper of a long forgotten words
Across the silver waters down the moonlit canyons where the wind blows
Flies the spirit of my love like the shadow of a big black bird
I heard the silent call as I saw a shadow fall across my windows
Burning tears filled my eyes as I recognized the voice my soul had heard
Across the silver years from beyond the sea of time where the wind blows
Flies the spirit of my love like the shadow of a big black bird
Across the silver years from beyond the sea of time where the wind blows
Flies the spirit of my love like the shadow of a big black bird
Flies the spirit of my love like the shadow of a big black bird
Flies the spirit of my love like the shadow of a big black bird
