Ain't It Amazing Gracie
Ain't It Amazing Gracie
Composer(s): Buck Owens - Glen Garrison
Performer(s): Buck Owens
Well, I left my Gracie and I caught a big train
Searchin' for wealth and fame
But every clickety-clack of the railroad track
Seemed to ring out my Gracie's name
Yeah, ain't it amazing Gracie how much that I love you
I've been all over this world
But no other girl ever thrilled me the way that you do
Ain't it amazing how I love you
Now she's not the prettiest girl in the world
I know she's not the smartest one, too
But she's always there and I know she cares
And I know her little heart is true
Yeah, ain't it amazing Gracie how much that I love you
I've been all over this world
But no other girl ever thrilled me the way that you do
Ain't it amazing how I love you
I met a lot of pretty girls where ever I'd go
But none could ever take her place
Cause every time I'd look into their eyes
I keep a seein' my Gracie's face
Yeah, ain't it amazing Gracie how much that I love you
I've been all over this world
But no other girl ever thrilled me the way that you do
Ain't it amazing how I love you

When I'm Cleaning Windows
When I'm Cleaning Windows
Composer(s): George Formby; Gifford Cliffe
Performer(s): George Formby; The Brass Pennies;
Jim MacLeod; Rockin' Berries
I go window cleaning to earn an honest bob
For a nosey parker it's an interesting job
Now it's a job that just suits me, a window cleaner you will be
If you could see what I can see
When I'm cleaning windows
The honeymooning couples too, you should see them bill and coo
You'd be surprised at things they do
When I'm cleaning windows
In my profession I work hard, but I'll never stop
I'll climb this blinking ladder ‘‘til I get right to the top
The blushing bride she looks divine, the bridegroom he is doing fine
I'd rather have his job than mine
When I'm cleaning windows
The chambermaid sweet names I call, it's a wonder I don't fall
My minds not on my work at all
When I'm cleaning windows
I know a fellow such a swell, he has a thirst it's plain to tell
I've seen him drink his bath as well
When I'm cleaning windows
In my profession I work hard, but I'll never stop
I'll climb this blinking ladder ‘til I get right to the top
Pyjamas lying side by side, ladies nighties I have spied
I've often seen what goes inside, when I'm cleaning windows
There's a famous talkie queen, looks a flapper on the screen
She's more like eighty than eighteen
When I'm cleaning windows
She pulls her hair all down behind, then pulls down her, never mind
After that pulls down the blind
When I'm cleaning windows
In my profession I work hard, but I'll never stop
I'll climb this blinking ladder ‘til I get right to the top
At eight o'clock a girl she wakes, at five past eight a bath she takes
When I'm cleaning windows

Ain't It A Shame (The B-52's)
Ain't It A Shame
Composer(s): Keith Strickland - Cindy Wilson - Ricky Wilson
Performer(s): The B-52's
Flying saucers could land
And it wouldn't make much difference to my man
I could walk aboad and thank the lord
And leave this damn town in seconds flat
Check my bags and never come back
Oh, our love is
Like a fuse that's burned out
Oh, our love is
Like a fuse that's burned out
Oh, I've been unkind
Not like you
Ain't I ashamed
Being misused
Oh, our love is
Like a fuse that's burned out
Oh, our love is
Like a fuse that's burned out
I liked your Chevy Duster
I liked your brand new trailer
I liked your colour TV
But you looked at that colour TV
More than me
More than me
Oh, our love is
Like a fuse that's burned out
Oh, our love is
Like a fuse that's burned out

When I'm Away From You
When I'm Away From You
Composer(s): Frankie Miller
Performer(s): Frankie Miller;
The Bellamy Brothers; Kim Carnes
When I'm away from you well I can't stay still
My thoughts won't move from the way I feel
It happens time and time again
And the circle never ends
When I'm away from you
Well it hurts to say
My sense has gone so far away
I'm up all through the night
And I can't tell wrong from right
When I'm away from you I see great big clouds
In the fog and rain all the lonely crowds
They seem to be so blue
Every night I'm missing you
When I'm away from you well the sun don't shine
The mood don't come
The words don't rhyme
When I'm away from you I can't let go
And you know, oh you know
It's all the things you do that make life worth while
Like the way you talk and the way you smile
It's all the things you do keep me hanging on
And you know, don't you know
When I'm away from you well the wine won't flow
The tides don't turn and the wind don't blow
I'm up all through the night
And I can't tell wrong from right
When I'm away from you well the sun don't shine
The mood don't come
The words don't rhyme
When I'm away from you I can't let go
And you know, oh you know
It's all the things you do that make life worth while
Like the way you talk and the way you smile
It's all the things you do keep me hanging on
And you know, don't you know
When I'm away from you
Well it hurts to say
My sense has gone so far away
It happens time and time again
And the circle never ends
When I'm away from you well the sun don't shine
The mood don't come
The words don't rhyme
When I'm away from you I can't let go
And you know, oh you know
It's all the things you do that make life worth while
Like the way you talk and the way you smile
It's all the things you do keep me hanging on
And you know, don't you know
When I'm away from you well the sun don't shine
The mood don't come
The words don't rhyme
When I'm away from you I can't let go
And you know, oh you know...

Ain't I The Lucky One
Composer(s): Melvin Endsley
Performer(s): Marty Robbins; Ray Conniff
Look what I've gone and done
I let her steal my heart
I know we'll never part
She brings me joy, so much fun
Ain't I the lucky one
Well ain't I a happy man
She lets me hold her hand
And when the lights are low
She never tells me no
She's so sweet, so much fun
Aint I the lucky one
Well ain't I a doing fine
I'm gaining all the time
I like to hang around
After the sun goes down
Big blue eyes, hair of blonde
Ain't I the lucky one
Ain't I the lucky one
Feel like a son of a gun
I've got a perfect doll
She really drives me wild
She's so sweet so much fun
Ain't I the lucky one
Well ain't I the lucky one
Look what I've gone and done
I let her steal my heart
I know we'll never part
She brings me joy, so much fun
Ain't I the lucky one

When I'm Alone With You
Composer(s): Lynsey de Paul
Performer(s): Lynsey de Paul
When I'm alone with you
and I look in your eyes
it's no surprise
If there's a place for me
I only want to be
alone with you
I had nowhere I belonged to
till you gave my solo song
a lovely melody
now I'm a tune
and you my harmony
harmony, harmony
When I'm alone with you
no-one you knew before
could love you more
if there's a place for me
please won't you let it be
alone with you
I had nowhere I belonged to
till you gave my solo song
a lovely melody
now I'm a tune
and you my harmony
harmony, harmony
When I'm alone with you
and I look in your eyes
it's no surprise
If there's a place for me
I only want to be
alone with you

Ain't Had Enough Fun
Ain't Had Enough Fun
Composer(s): Paul Barrère - Shaun Murphy - Bill Payne - Chick Stand - Fred Tackett
Performer(s): Little Feat
Woke up this mornin' just about noon
Rolled back on over, it was way too soon
My sensibilities hadn't stirred you see
Might bother some, but it don't bother me
'Cause some people say ain't had enough fun
Some people say ain't had enough fun
I'll tell ya when I'm done
But until that time, ain't had enough fun
Right 'round the corner, right over the hill
Somebody's waitin' for some new thrill
They can wait there all of their life
Spinnin' them wheels 'til the time is right
As for me, I think I'll jump right into the fight
'Cause some people say ain't had enough gun
Some people say ain't had enough gun
I'll tell ya when I'm done
But until that time, ain't had enough fun
Why some people sure wound up tight
I'm here to tell ya Lord -- I got too many chills
To feel 'em all in one night
Now who says ya can't teach an old dog new tricks
Jus' fire off a few rounds at the poor boy's kicks
Ruler boy says don't worry
The monkey ain't dead so what's your hurry
The show ain't over so people please grab your seats
'Cause some people say ain't had enough gun
Some people say ain't had enough gun
My time ain't yet begun
So don't say I'm finished, no
I'll tell ya when I'm done
Until that time, I ain't had enough fun

When I Was Young
Performer(s): Eric Burdon & The Animals
The rooms were so much colder then
My father was a soldier then
And times were very hard
When I was young
When I was young

Pain more painful, the laughter much louder, yeah

She was brown, and I was pretty green
And I learned quite a lot

Pain more painful, laughter much louder, yeah

I believed in fellow men
And I was so much older then

When I Was Young (Danielle Dax)
When I Was Young
Composer(s): Danielle Dax; David Knight; Steve Reeves
Performer(s): Danielle Dax
When I was young
The sky seemed so tall
Everything shone in the happiest sunlight
For ever
And tunnels of leaves
Made specially for me
Led to a magic place
Where I could hide for a while
And hope filled the air
My treasures were there
When I was young
The Summers were long
Under the beach-huts
My brother and I would be playing
And we would find shells
To put on my sill
Gathering dust
As they lay unattended till Spring
And hope filled the air
My treasures were there
La, la, la, la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la
La, la, la, la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la
When I was young
The wind knew my name
Clouds would make castles
And creatures with faces I'd dream of
The sweet-scented breeze
Was special to me
Kept in a place near my heart
Where I go when I'm sad
And hope filled the air
My treasures were there
La, la, la, la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la
La, la, la, la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la

When I Was A Young Boy
When I Was A Young Boy
Composer(s): Chris Youlden
Performer(s): Savoy Brown
When I was a young boy
Advice I would scorn
Now I'm getting a little older
I know I gotta lot to learn
Yesterday's illusions
Are tomorrow's smiles
I look back and laugh
Baby sometimes in a while
And it always seems the same
And who knows what's to blame
If I knew then what I know now
The mistakes I wouldn't have made
But you can't get a sneak preview
Of a what you're gonna go thru
And you have to rely on your body and mind
To save you life from shame
Life's the same but time does change
Respective of your view
You're lookin' for the mystery
But you can't find a clue
Some say a man makes his life
Some say that it's fate
But when you find out what to do
Oh sometimes it's too late
And it always seems the same
And who knows what's to blame
If I knew then what I know now
The mistakes I wouldn't have made
But you can't get a sneak preview
Of a what you're gonna go thru
and you have to rely on your body and mind
To save you life from shame
Life's the same but time does change
Respective of your view
You're lookin' for the mystery
Oh you can't find a clue
Some say a man makes his life
Some say that it's fate
But when you find out what to do
Oh sometimes it's too late

Ain't Got Not Money
Composer(s): Frankie Miller
Performer(s): Bob Seger & the Silver Bullet Band
Well I'm looking for a woman
About five foot six
Who ain't into glamour
She's just into kicks
Just a sweet fashion lady
Stepping dynamite
Who's gonna take me for granted
In the heat of the night
Come on baby
Don't run away
Look here in my face
Be it night or day
I ain't got no money
But I sure got a whole lotta love
Well I'm walking down the street
And my heart's feeling heavy
Swaying with the beat
'Cause I'm more than just ready
She's looking at me
I can feel it in my bones
Step right on up
And I'll be taking you home
Don't turn away
Look here in my face
Be it night or day
I ain't got no money
But I sure got a whole lot of love
A whole lot of love
Well I'm looking for a woman
Who's looking for a man
Who's looking for a time
Like she ain't ever had
Just a sweet fashion lady
Stepping dynamite
Who's gonna take me for granted
In the heat of the night
Come on baby don't run away
Look here in my face
Be it night or day
I ain't got no money
But I sure got a whole lotta love

Composer(s): Grace Slick; Paul Kantner
Performer(s): Paul Kantner
When I was a boy I watched the wolves
When I was a boy I watched wolfpack
Run, I watched the wolves
till the mornin' sun
And as I grew I soon found the wolfpack grow on me
Laser bright feel the lunar light comin down on me
Moonlight, leave me be, comin down on me
We Roll and we go thru the mountain snow
Wolfpack silver, down to the water
Timber line leader gonna find you
Getcha goin down to the nighttime
No eyes shine on the mind protected
No light shines on the fang neglected
Run with the wolfpack
When I was young and low out here in San Francisco
I could rely on the fire of my friends, now I can
Carry a few and I do when I can we get
By however we can
Me and my friends we roll thru the hills in the nighttime
Me and my friends run into the mornin sunshine
I suppose you could yell at your dog
He'd be barking his face right back
I imagine you calling yourself big fang
Observing you run with the pack
Wolfpack werewolf, gleaming on the hillside
She-wolf dripping come here and find me
Down by the cool clear waterside
Down by the nighttime
Bow to the moon / lean to the morning sun
Feel how clean / when the night when your nite is done
Run with the wolfpack
Get down be bright go back, run with the wolfpack
We have the mountains, we have the town now
Battle cruiser, two tone silver loser
Run with the wolfpack
Run with the wolfpack
Run with the wolfpack

Often in my dreams
I see the strangest things
I see the mountains rise

From thoughts of bitter rage
White lions in their cage

When I touch you

When I Take My Sugar To Tea
When I Take My Sugar To Tea
Composer(s): Sammy Fain; Irving Kahal; Pierre Norman Connor
Performer(s): Leon Redbone
I'm just a little "Jackie Horner"
since I met my sugar cane
That gang of mine has been revealin'
that they're feelin' sore
I left the lamp light on the corner
for the moon in lover's lane
I'm doing things I never did before
When I take my sugar to tea, all the
boys are jealous of me, 'cause I
never take her where the gang goes
When I take my sugar to tea
I'm a rowdy dowdy, that's me
She's a high hat baby, that's she
So I never take her where the gang goes
When I take my sugar to tea
Ev'ry Sunday afternoon
we forget about our cares
rubbing elbows at the Ritz
with those millionaires
When I take my sugar to tea
I'm as Ritzy as can be
'cause I never take her where the gang goes
When I take my sugar to tea
