When A Man Loves A Woman


When A Man Loves A Woman
Composer(s): Calvin Lewis; Andrew Wright
Performer(s): Percy Sledge



When a man loves a woman
Can't keep his mind on nothin' else
He'd change the world for the good thing he's found
If she is bad, he can't see it
She can do no wrong
Turn his back on his best friend if he put her down
When a man loves a woman
He'll spend his very last dime
Tryin' to hold on to what he needs
He'd give up all his comforts
And sleep out in the rain
If she said that's the way
It ought to be
Well, this man loves you, woman
I gave you everything I have
Tryin' to hold on to your hot blood long
Baby, please don't treat me bad
When a man loves a woman
Down deep in his soul
She can bring him such misery
If she is playin' him for a fool
He's the last one to know
Lovin' eyes can never see
When a man loves a woman
he can do her no wrong
he can never hug
some other girl
Yes, when a man loves a woman
I know exactly how he feels
'Cause baby, baby, you're
When a man loves a woman....

Agricultural Irish Girl


Agricultural Irish Girl
Composer(s): J.F. Mitchell
Performer(s): Val Doonican



If all the girls in Ireland
Were gathered up together
There's none like my Mary Ann
In every kind of weather
The rain won't wash the powder off her face
She doesn't wear it
And her figure and face are all her own
The truth I must declare it

She's a fine stout lump
Of agricultural Irish girl
Her face is worth a fortune
And her figure is all her own
She can strike that hard you would think
That you were hit by the kick of a mule
But the full of a house of Irish love
Is Mary Ann Malone

She was never e-d-u-cated
She doesn't know her letters
But she's all a lady wants my boys
And better than her betters
She doesn't speak ital-i-an
Or read the sporting papers
But she knows the horse will win the race
She knows the form by jabers

She was only seventeen last year
But still she's growing greatly
I wonder what her form will be
When she fills out completely
You's think your hand was in a vice
The minute that she'd take it
And if there's any cake at hand
Tis Mary Ann will ate it

She's a fine stout lump
Of agricultural Irish girl
Her face is worth a fortune
And her figure is all her own
She can strike that hard you would think
That you were hit by the kick of a mule
But the full of a house of Irish love
Is Mary Ann Malone

For she's a fine stout lump
Of an agricultural Irish girl
Her face is worth a fortune
And her figure is all her
But she can hit that hard....Oooh
You'ld think it the kick of a mule you got
The fill of your arms of Irish love
Is Mary Ann Malone

When A Guitar Plays The Blues


When A Guitar Plays The Blues
Performer(s): Albert Collins



You get the strangest kinda feelin'
that's when the guitar plays the blues
I say, you get the strangest kinda feelin'
that's when a guitar plays the blues
Your body gets the message
and you know, you know, your soul has just got to move

You might even bat your eye
You might even snap or cry
The feelin' you're feelin' within you babe
You know you just can't hide

You're kinda strokin' like that
You're kinda bendin' like this
And it reaches down inside you
And your soul just can't resist
You get the same kinda feelin'
When the guitar plays the blues
Your body sure gets the message
Yes, you know, you know, your soul has just got to move

And when the music is over
And it's time to turn out the lights
You know the blues goes home with ya
Soothes you through the night

You get the strange kinda feelin'
When the guitar plays the blues
Your body gets the message
And you know, you know, you know
Your soul has just got to move

Agora Falando Sério


Agora Falando Sério
Composer(s): Chico Buarque
Performer(s): Chico Buarque



Agora falando sério
Eu queria não cantar
A cantiga bonita
Ue se acredita
Que o mal espanta
Dou um chute no lirismo
Um pega no cachorro
E um tiro no sabiá
Dou um fora no violino
Faço a mala e corro
Pra não ver a banda passar

Agora falando sério
Eu queria não mentir
Não queria enganar
Driblar, iludir
Tanto desencanto
E você que está me ouvindo
Quer saber o que está havendo
Com as flores do meu quintal?
O amor-perfeito, traindo
A sempre-viva, morrendo
E a rosa, cheirando mal

Agora falando sério
Preferia não falar
Nada que distraísse
O sono difícil
Como acalanto
Eu quero fazer silêncio
Um silêncio tão doente
Do vizinho reclamar
E chamar polícia e médico
E o síndico do meu prédio
Pedindo pra eu cantar

Agora falando sério
Eu queria não cantar
Falando sério

Agora falando sério
Preferia não falar
Falando sério

When A Boy Falls In Love


When A Boy Falls In Love
Composer(s): Sam Cooke; Clinton Levert Jr.
Performer(s): Sam Cooke



I've heard them say love was a wonderful thing
Something you couldn't hide on a shelf
But to me they no longer have to explain
Because I know for myself

He awakens each morn with a smile on his face
When a boy is in love
and the world to him is a beautiful place
When a boy is in love

He's up and he's gone, there's no breakfast for him
'Cause he lives on the love of his sweet little gem
The days are through, though it's not very long
Before he must talk to his girl on the phone
That's how it is when a boy falls in love

His girl's voice on the phone brings him wondrous delight
When a boy is in love
If there's been any darkness and all face from sight
When a boy is in love

He can hardly wait till the moment they meet
For he knows when he sees her, his day will be complete
When they're finally alone and he kisses her lips
The world sings a love song and his heart turns a flip
That's how it is when a boy falls in love

At the end of the day the time comes they must part
The strains of regret tear away at his heart
and late in the night, as he sleeps in his bed
Visions of her sweet charm, how they dance in his head
& before you know, he is buying a ring
To capture forever that sweet darlin' thing
That's how it is when a boy falls in love

Agnese


Agnese
Composer(s): Ivan Graziani - Di I. Elaborazione
Performer(s): Ivan Graziani



Se la mia chitarra piange dolcemente
stasera non è sera di vedere gente
e i giochi nella strada che ho chiusi dentro al petto
mi voglio ricordare

Io penso ad un barcone rovesciato al sole
in un giorno in pieno agosto le biciclette in riva al mare
Agnese mi parlava e la sabbia era infuocata
ed io non so perché non l'ho dimenticata

Lei mi raccontava di quello che la gente
diceva del suo corpo con malizia ed allegria
ed io che sto provando le cose che provavo ieri
non ho capito ancora
se è gelosia se sono prigioniero
di questo cielo nero e di un ricordo che fa male
e se continuo a bere i miei liquori inquinati
è vero che quei giorni non li ho dimenticati

E' uscito un po' di sole da questo cielo nero
l'inverno cittadino sembra quasi uno straniero
Agnese dolce Agnese color di cioccolata
adesso che ci penso non ti ho mai baciata

Agnese dolce Agnese color di cioccolata
adesso che ci penso

Io vado in bicicletta per sentirmi vivo
alle 5 di mattina con la nebbia nei polmoni
però non c'è più Agnese seduta sul manubrio
a cantar canzoni a cantar canzoni

When A Blind Man Cries


When A Blind Man Cries
Composer(s): Ritchie Blackmore; Ian Gillan;
Roger Glover; Jon Lord; Ian Paice
Performer(s): Deep Purple;
and various other artists



If you're leaving, close the door
I'm not expecting people anymore
Hear me greaving, lying on the floor
Whether I'm drunk or dead I really ain't too sure

I'm a blind man, I'm a blind man
And my world is pale
When a blind man cries
Lord you know there ain't no sadder tale

Had a friend once, in a room
Had a good time, but it ended much to soon
In a cold month, in that room
Found a reason for the things we had to do

I'm a blind, I'm a blind man
Now my world is cold
When a blind man cries
Lord you know he feels it from his soul

Agnes


Agnes
Composer(s): Mark Avsec - Ierace
Performer(s): Donnie Iris



We were standing on the corner one night
Me and Agnes
She had these tight jeans on
And these high shoes
Bad

It was a warm September night
Wind was blowin' through the trees
This dude Louie was looking for a fight

He knocked me down with all his might

He put a gun up to my head
Stay away from her or you'll be dead
Don't you ever see that girl he said

Agnes was a waitress at our bar
Louie said she'd never go too far
Louie didn't see her in my car
Louie didn't see her in my car
After that fight at Louie's bar

Yeah Agnes
Caused you all this sadness
(He didn't know that you were out of your mind)
What you did was madness
(He didn't know it was the end of the line)
Someday we're gonna pay
(He had it coming to him)
We gotta watch out
(Watch out)
There's been talk about
(I didn't know that you were out of your mind)
Soon they're gonna find out
(I didn't know it was the end of the line)
What we did that day
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh

She got off work at 2 o'clock
We drove away so we could talk
We didn't see Louie in the dark

Louie pulled me out onto the ground
Then I saw Louie start to run
He didn't know she had his gun
(He didn't know she had his gun)
I didn't know she had his gun

Oh-oh Agnes
He caused you all this sadness
(He didn't know that you were out of your mind)
It was madness
(He didn't know it was the end of the line)
We're gonna pay
(He had it coming to him)
Oh oh we have to watch out
(Watch out)
You know there's been alotta talk about
(I didn't know that you were out of your mind)
Someday soon they're gonna find out
(I didn't know it was the end of the line)
You better never look back
(He had it coming to him)
Baby don't look back
We got to run now
Baby throw away the gun now
(He didn't know that you were out of your mind)
Baby baby baby it's tough now
Someday we're gonna pay

When, when you smile, when you smile at me
Well, well I know our love will always be

Wheezy Anna


Wheezy Anna
Composer(s): Leslie Sarony
Performer(s): Ray Noble



There’s a girl, a great big girl, and all who’ve ever seen her
They know that every time she breathes she’s like a concertina
When she was young she bought a small mouth-organ for a tanner
She swallowed it and ever since they call her Wheezy Anna

Wheezy Anna, Wheezy Anna, down where the watermelons grow
(And they’ve got big pips in)
Wheezy Anna, Wheezy Anna, she’s the grandest girl I know

Who’s got eyes that are the best? - Wheezy Anna
One looks east and the other looks west - Wheezy Anna
Who’s got eyes as black as night? – Wheezy Anna
With the left one blacker than the right – Wheezy Anna

Wheezy Anna, Wheezy Anna, down where the watermelons grow
(Melons wet your ears so)
Wheezy Anna, Wheezy Anna, she’s the grandest girl I know

Who’s got teeth that are so bright? – Wheezy Anna
Like the stars, come out at night – Wheezy Anna
Who’s conceited – boy, and how? Wheezy Anna
When it thunders, takes a bow – Wheezy Anna

Who’s the fattest girl in town – Wheezy Anna
Who’s the female Teddy Brown – Wheezy Anna
When she tries to phone, they say - Wheezy Anna
Always presses Button ‘A’ – Wheezy Anna

Wheezy Anna, Anna, Wheezy Anna, Anna – down where the watermelons grow
(All the flies came off them)
Wheezy Anna, Anna, Wheezy Anna, she’s the grandest girl I know

Who’s tattooed upon her back? – Wheezy Anna
Stars and Stripes and Union Jack – Wheezy Anna
Snakes and things upon her vest – Wheezy Anna
Close your eyes and guess the rest – Wheezy Anna

Wheezy Anna, Wheezy Anna, down where the watermelons grow
(Like a great big football)
Wheezy Anna, Wheezy Anna, she’s the grandest girl I know

Aggravation


Aggravation
Composer(s): Ray Davies
Performer(s): The Kinks



Life grinds on day after day
In the city streets and motorways
The tension spreads just like a plague
Killing reason on the way
Like wildfire it spreads through the nation
Chocking us with aggravation

Who needs it?
The aggravation the daily goddam hassle
It's a bummer, who gives a dam?
Bumper to bumper in the traffic jam
Clench your jaw, getting all up tight
Breathing fumes, stuck in a tin can
Trapped, trapped
Hate, frustration, no escape
Glaring eyes all filled with hate
Arteries throb, coronaries pound
Aggravation all around
Like wildfire it spreads through the nation
Choking us with aggravation
They won the peace, we lost the war
So what are we still fighting for?
The highway's blocked, is this my end
To follow a Mercedes Benz?
Hey, Mitzibushi and Toyota, who said that the war was over?
Aggravations everywhere, get outta my way get out of my hair
Another jam, another day, another hair is turning grey
I wanna scream, I wanna say
Get outta my hair, get out of my way
Who needs it? Aggravation, aggravation
Had enough of all this aggravation
Tension choking up blocking my circulation
I've had enough, I've had enough of all this aggravation
While traffic jams and tempers break
The city streets are full of hate
The lights are red, it's all too late
How much can a poor man take?

Aggravation in my mind my body and my soul
There's no solution to it all, it's out of control
Out of control
Is it my imagination, am I seeing what is true?
If we are living in damnation
I'd live in hell to be with you, what more can I do?

I gotta violent streak caused by
We're getting uptight, wanna fight, everybody back bite
Now we can't turn back the future's bleak
I gotta mean appetite
I gotta get my daily fill of aggravation
Don't push 'cos I'm really pumped
I'm ready when you are, punk

So step aside, unless your dumb
I'm all wound up with aggravation

Had enough of all this aggravation
Winding up, stress filled, mad intimidation
And it touches all the passers-by
As dog eats dog to stay alive
Then moves on through the population
Till there's mass contamination
With violent streets all filled with fear
Pollution in the atmosphere
The ozone's gone and that's no fun
I've had enough of this, old son
Who needs it?
Aggravation.
And I don't have any answers
I just got an attitude
Do what it takes just to survive it
Another day but I'll get through
What more can I do?

Wheels Of Love


Wheels Of Love
Composer(s): Marjy Plant
Performer(s): Emmylou Harris



The wheels of love turn around and around
Keep on rolling till you've found
the perfect partner, somebody just right
to have and hold every day and every night

So she's halfway to Texas with all of her dreams
The world ain't as bad as what it might seem
You got a whole lot of living, honey, left to do
There's still a whole lot of love inside of you

The wheels of love turn around and around
They'll take you for a ride like a merry-go-round
Don't let the heartache hold you down
when there's plenty of love left to be found on the wheels
riding on the wheels of love

Catch you a ride imagine what you might find
Just the right girl at just the right time
Ready and waiting, she'll look you in the eyes
Ah, but the wheels of love will never compromise

So she broke your heart, honey, don't look back
You got to keep on rolling down the track
and maybe the next time you'll keep your feet on the ground
when the wheels of love spin you around

The wheels of love turn around and around
They'll take you for a ride like a merry-go-round
Don't let the heartache hold you down
when there's plenty of love left to be found on the wheels
riding on the wheels of love

The wheels of love turn around and around
They'll take you for a ride like a merry-go-round
Don't let the heartache hold you down
when there's plenty of love left to be found on the wheels
riding on the wheels of love

Oh, the wheels
riding on the wheels of love

Aggravatin' Papa


Aggravatin' Papa
Composer(s): Roy Turk - John Robinson - Addie Britt
Performer(s): Bessie Smith
and multiple other artists



I know a drivin' man
They call him Driver Sam
He lives in Birmingham
Way down in Alabam

Now, the other night
He had a fight with a gal named Mandy Brown
She kept on saying he was aggravatin'
And she shouted out to him

Aggravatin' Papa, don't you try to two-time me!
I said, don't two-time me!
Aggravatin' Papa, treat me kind or let me be
I mean, just let me be!
It's been awhile, I'll get you told
Stop messin' round, sweet jellyroll
If you stay out with a high-brown baby
I'll smack you down, and I don't mean maybe!

Aggravatin' Papa, I'll do anything you say
Anything you say
But when you go struttin', do your strut around my way!
So, papa, just treat me pretty, be nice and kind!
The way you treated me will make me lose my mind!
Aggravatin' Papa, don't you try to two-time me!

Just treat me pretty, be nice and sweet!
I got a darn forty-four that don't repeat
Aggravatin' Papa, don't you try to two-time me!

Wheels Of Confusion


Wheels Of Confusion
Composer(s): Geezer Butler; Tony Iommi;
Ozzy Osbourne; Bill Ward
Performer(s): Black Sabbath;
Cathedral; New Eden



Long ago I wandered through my mind
in the land of fairy tales and stories
Lost in happiness I knew no fears
Innocence and love was all I knew
was it illusion?

Soon the days went passing into years
Happiness just didn't come so easy
Life was more than fairy tales and daydreams
Innocence was just another word
was it illusion?

Lost in the wheels of confusion
Running through valleys of tears
Eyes full of angered illusion
Hiding in everyday fears

So I found that life is just a game
But you know there's never been a winner
Try your hardest, just to be a loser
The world will still be turning when you're gone
Yeah when you're gone!

I remember when I made you cry
Ages and ages ago
I'll never blame you for our last goodbye
Ages and ages ago

Someone told me when you walked away
That time would make me miss you so
And though it happened only yesterday
It seems like ages and ages ago

Someone told me when you walked away
That time would make me miss you so
And though it happened only yesterday
It seems like ages and ages ago

Someone came along and took my place
How wrong I was to let you go
And though it happened only yesterday
It seems like ages and ages ago

It seems like ages and ages ago

Wheel Of Fortune
Composer(s): Bennie Benjamin; George David Weiss
Performer(s): Johnny Hartman;
and various other artists



The wheel of fortune
Goes spinning around
Will the arrow point my way?
Will this be my day?

Oh, wheel of fortune
Please don't pass me by
Let me know the magic of
A kiss and a sigh

While the wheel is spining, spinning, spinning
I'll not dream of winning fortune or fame
While the wheel is turning, turning, turning
I'll be yearning, yearning
For love's precious flame

Oh, wheel of fortune
I'm hoping somehow
If you ever smile on me
Please let it be now

While the wheel is spining, spinning, spinning
I'll not dream of winning fortune or fame
While the wheel is turning, turning, turning
I'll be yearning, yearning
For love's precious flame

Oh, wheel of fortune
I'm hoping somehow
If you ever smile on me
Please let it be now

Agents Of The Heart


Agents Of The Heart
Composer(s): Leo Sayer - Alan Tarney
Performer(s): Leo Sayer



Restless as the ocean
Stumbling in the dark
Blinded by emotion
Wishing on a star
Yeah I was yours from the start
And no stranger could tear us apart
Let me in to your heart tonight

When I’m beside you I see the child
In you tonight
I see a wild youth inside of you
Burning so bright

Let my love create the spark
Split the ocean wide apart
Agents of the heart be kind tonight

Yeah I was yours from the start
And no stranger could tear us apart
Agents of the heart please be kind to me tonight

When I’m beside you I see the child
In you tonight
I see a wild youth inside of you
Burning so bright

Let the lightning break the dark
Let your love create the spark
Agents of the heart be kind tonight

Whaz' Zat


Whaz' Zat
Composer(s): Shawn Phillips
Performer(s): Shawn Phillips



Lightning slaying shadows
In the tremors of the night
While he creeps among the alleys
Bringing fear before the fright

She sleeps in tattered trousers
In the ballroom's decadence
Moaning gently of her dreaming
By escorted precedence
Antiquated babblings
From a constant stream of thought
Sensitively wringing out
The rags that he has caught

Patting yet her bulging belly
She so slowly cries a smile
In anticipated suffering
Of her slowly growing child
He is speeding in a vacuum
Going nowhere but, of course
He might believe in discipline
Of a bloody kind of sort

Naturally a state of race
A never-changing spate of hate
While everything in some weird way
Does manage to relate
To her it doesn't matter more
Its chasms have been leapt
And she leans upon the skepticism of her chosen fate

Stand tall, you spittle-smattered son of man
Stand up, you hear them say
To slap you down and kick your teeth
And smile across the bay

Irrelevant eloquent pleading
Wasn't what she did this year
She passed it by and told a lie
And shed a crystal tear
For him to see, from valley's edge
From 0plateaus in the sand
And yet he has beshit himself
For being just a man

A bragging crowing sort of twit
A cast-off shade of pink
Who's brought himself and all the rest
Unto the very brink
Yet that magic urge
Continues on and plays continuum
A song of pleasure and of pain
Until that will be done

Agent Double-O Soul


Agent Double-O Soul
Composer(s): Charles Hatcher - Edwin Starr
Performer(s): Edwin Starr



Double-O-Soul!
I dig rock and roll music
I can do the twine and the jerk
I wear strictly continental suits
And high collared shirts
I´ve got a reputation of bein´
Gentle but bold
And that´s why they call me
Agent Double-O-Soul baby!
Agent Double-O-Soul
They call me Double-O-Soul baby
I´m Agent Double-O-Soul
I don´t carry no pistol
I don´t wear a false mustache
And you´ll never see me carrying
Around a little black bag
My real name´s no secret
But from me it will never be told
I´m just known as Agent Double-O-Soul baby!
Agent Double-O-Soul
They call me Double-O-Soul baby
I´m Agent Double-O-Soul

There once was a fella
Who was down on rock and roll
He couldn´t get himself together
He didn´t have no kind of soul
The office put me on his case
And I tracked him down right away
Now he´s a deejay on a radio show
A station that everybody knows
Call me Double-O-Soul
Call me Double-O-Soul

Double-O-Soul
Double-O-Soul
Double-O-Soul
Double-O-Soul

At my job I work real hard
I´m on the go
Rain, sleet, or snow
I´m Agent Double-O-Soul baby!
I´m Agent Double-O-Soul
They call me Double-O-Soul baby
