Alive In The World
Alive In The World
Composer(s): Jackson Browne
Performer(s): Jackson Browne; David Howard
I want to live in the world, not inside my head
I want to live in the world, I want to stand and be counted
With the hopeful and the willing
With the open and the strong
With the voices in the darkness
Fashioning daylight out of song
And the millions of lovers
Alive in the world
I want to live in the world, not behind some wall
I want to live in the world, where I will hear if another voice should call
To the prisoner inside me
To the captive of my doubt
Who among his fantasies harbors the dream of breaking out
And taking his chances
Alive in the world
To open my eyes and wake up alive in the world
To open my eyes and fully arrive in the world
With it's beauty and it's cruelty
With it's heartbreak and it's joy
With it constantly giving birth to life and to forces that destroy
And the infinite power of change
Alive in the world
To open my eyes and wake up alive in the world
To open my eyes and fully arrive in the world
To open my eyes and wake up alive in the world
To open my eyes and fully arrive in the world

Which Way Are You Goin'?
Which Way Are You Goin'?
Composer(s): Jim Croce
Performer(s): Jim Croce
Which way are you going, which side will you be on
Will you stand and watch while, all the seeds of hate are sown
Will you stand with those who say, let his will be done
One hand on the bible
One hand on the gun
One hand on the bible
One hand on the gun
Which way are you looking, is it hard to see
Do you say what's wrong for him, is not wrong for me
You walk the streets, righteousness but you refuse to understand
You say you love the baby
Then you crucify the man
You say you love the baby
Then you crucify the man
Everyday, things are changing, words once honored turned to lies
People wondering, can you blame them
Its to far to run, and to late to hide
Now you turn your back on, all the things that you used to preach
Now its let him live in freedom, if he lives like me
Well you light has changed, confusion rains, what have you become
All your olive branches turned to spears
When your flowers turned to guns
Your olive branches turned to spears
When your flowers turned to guns

Alive Again
Alive Again
Composer(s): James Pankow
Performer(s): Chicago
Yesterday I would not have believed
That tomorrow the sun would shine
Then one day you came into my life
I am alive again I am alive again
All the empty yesterdays have disappeared
Now that you have filled my life with love
No one else could ever mean so much to me
Every day my high lasts longer
As our love grows ever stronger
Yesterday I would not have believed
That tomorrow the sun would shine
Then one day you came into my life
I am alive again I am alive again
When you gave your love to me you changed my life
Dreams that once seemd hopeless come with ease
Thank you girl for being just the way you are
I would never try to change you
All I live for is to love you
I'm feeling alive again
I'm feeling alive again

Which One Of Us Is To Blame
Which One Of Us Is To Blame
Composer(s): Sunny Dull; Redd Stewart
Performer(s): Billy Walker;
and various other artists
The nicest thing that's come my way is you
But I can't offer you my heart or name
It isn't fair to love the way we do
I wonder which one of us is to blame
It doesn't bother me at all
What other people say
Because if loving you could be such a crime
I'm guilty all the way
Your nearness makes me tremble with desire
Your ruby red lips can set my soul aflame
For you I'd be a beggar, thief or liar
I wonder which one of us is to blame
Somehow I can't blame myself
Although I guess I should
And I can't place the blame on you
I wouldn't if I could
We've made ourselves the gossip of the town
The things we've done can only bring us shame
We've let our passion drag our honour down
I wonder which one of us is to blame

Alive (Bee Gees)
Alive
Composer(s): Barry Gibb - Maurice Gibb
Performer(s): Bee Gees
Maybe you talk too high, man
Maybe I talk too slow
But you've got to live a little bit faster
'cause you've got a little less time to go
I ain't lost and I ain't searching
But then you know me very well
And I can't change the wind and make it blow the other way
I'm a fool and I can tell
That I'm alive and that's all
That I can get up just as fast as I fall
And I can walk and run but I'll never crawl
And in the end it doesn't matter at all
I don't know about the people that I read about in books
And the Kings and Queens around my room with their quiet dirty looks
I know I should be going somewhere, I just can't arrive
There's a reason for believing that I've never been alive, alive
I ain't lost and I ain't searching
But then you know me very well
And I can't change the world and make it go the other way
I'm a fool and I can tell
That I'm alive and that's all
That I can get up just as fast as I fall
And I can walk and run but I'll never crawl
And in the end it doesn't matter at all
I don't know about those people that I read about in books
And the Kings and Queens around my room with their quiet dirty looks
I know I should be going somewhere, I just can't arrive
There's a reason for believing that I've never been alive
I know I should be going somewhere I just can't arrive.
There's a reason for believing that I've never been alive, alive, alive

Everywhere in every home
Hope is burning bright
While millions of hearts
Are kneeling, saying tonight
Wherever you are
Our hearts are with you

All through the darkness
Our faith is your guiding star
May God bless you all
Wherever you are
All through the darkness
Our faith is your guiding star
May God bless you all
Wherever you are
May God bless you all
God bless you
Wherever you are

Alive (Beastie Boys)
Alive
Performer(s): Beastie Boys
"I have never been more ready in my entire life to do this right now
Never
It's all been leading up to this moment
All right now, right here
My whole life, right here...."
We got rhyme selections in a wide array
J'ai des bonsbons pour vous à manger (I have some goodie goods for you to eat)
The party people scream "Oui, oui c'est vrai!" (Yes yes, it's true)
'Cause I got a remote for my B-Day
Hey I'm A-d-r-o-c-k
I use a microphone like Picasso* used clay
Down with records from around the way
Peace to Bambatta and Jazzy Jay
I rock on the mic from here to Bombay
I'll give it my best and say "Come what may"
'Cause everybody's got their dues to pay
I'm lookin' sideways like my man Pel
Gettin' old, like Ali "Boomba Yay"*
So fed up with my Caesar toupee
It's time to speak up and not turn away
Make the sun shine when it's sorry and gray
D-D-Dive*
So-Socialize
Open up your ears and clean out your eyes
If you learn to love, you're in for a surprise
It could be nice to be alive
I'm takin' doodie rhymes to a brand new height
I shine on the mic like Ultra Bright
Created a monster with these rhymes I write
Don't say mine are wack, please say goodnight
Now here's a little something that you might not like
My DJ's name is Mix Master Mike
It's a real pity that you people gotta bite
But I can understand 'cause he sounds so nice
Readin' in the news, 'cause I'm Country Mike
Use a microphone like Shazam use tights
Try to keep clear of that hate and spite
So I keep my mind still, like the still of night
Now who in the world do you want to fight
It's against the system we should unite
Homophobics say "Alright..."
If you learn to love then you might love life
Bringin' back that old New York rap....
Now you can shuffle numbers but facts is facts
So many billionaires while so many lacks*
To afford the poor decide to react
Come on party people, share up your stacks
Now, I'm a' break it down to the brass tacks*
Do the Biz Marke Dance and Cabbage Patch
You're tried to turn the key but then you broke the latch
Sneakin' through my files for some rhymes to snatch
I'd like to have a say on the income tax
Don't wanna help build bombs and that's the facts
No money for health care, so what's the catch?
The man got you locked with no keys to the latch
Mike and Adam have got my back
You bring the mic and we'll bring the raps
Turn on the P.A. and rock your shack
Don't smoke cheeba, can't stand crack*
Bringin' back that old New York rap....

Where's The Playground Susie?
Where's The Playground Susie?
Composer(s): Jimmy Webb
Performer(s): Glen Campbell
The end has come and found us here
With our toys scattered all around us here
The puzzle that we never found an answer for
Still asks us, darlin', just what all the games were for
And here we stand in a box of sand
Where's the playground Susie?
You're the one who's supposed to know her way around
Where's the playground Susie
If I don't stay around?
If I don't stay around?
The carousel has stopped us here
It twirled a time or two and then it dropped us here
And still you're not content with something about me
But what merry-go-round can you ride without me
To take your hand ?
How would you stand?
Where's the playground Susie
If I decide to let you go and play around?
Where's the playground Susie
If I don't stay around?
If I don't stay around?
Where's the playground Susie?
You're the one who's supposed to know her way around
Where's the playground Susie
If I decide to let you go and play around?

(Traditional)
Performer(s): Steeleye Span
Alison Gross that lives in yon tower
The ugliest witch in the North Country
Has trysted me one day up to her bower
And many a fair speech she made to me
She stroked my head and she combed my hair
She set me down softly on her knee
Saying if you will be my lover so true
So many good things I would give to you
Away, away, you ugly witch
Go far away and let me be
I never will be your lover so true
And wish I were out of your communy
Alison Gross she must be
The ugliest witch in the North Country
Alison Gross she must be
The ugliest witch in the North Country
She showed me a mantle of red scarlet
With golden flowers and fringes fine
Saying if you will be my lover so true
This goodly gift it shall be thine
She showed me a shirt of the softest silk
Well wrought with pearls abound the band
Saying if you will be my lover so true
This goodly gift you shall command
Alison Gross she must be
The ugliest witch in the North Country
Alison Gross she must be
The ugliest witch in the North Country
She showed me a cup of the good red gold
Well set with jewels so fair to see
Saying if you will be my lover so true
This goodly gift I will give to thee
Away, away, you ugly witch
Go far away and let me be
I never would kiss your ugly mouth
For all of the gifts that you could give
Alison Gross she must be
The ugliest witch in the North Country
Alison Gross she must be
The ugliest witch in the North Country
She turned her right and round about
And thrice she blew on a grass-green horn
She swore by the moon and the stars of above
That she'd make me rue the day I was born
The out she has taken a silver wand
She's turned her three times round and round
She muttered such words till my strength it did fail
And she's turned me into an ugly worm
Alison Gross she must be
The ugliest witch in the North Country
Alison Gross she must be
The ugliest witch in the North Country

Where's The Boy? Here's The Girl!
Where’s The Boy? Here's The Girl!
Composer(s): George Gershwin; Ira Gershwin
Performer(s): Betty Comden
There is no doubt about the fact that life
Without a lord and master is a disaster
But I’ve not met as yet the one I’d like to get
But some I seek well, but none’s my equal
There’s just one man and it’s high time
He came to take up my time
In dreams I see this he who’s all the world to me
Though I’ve not met him, I can’t forget him
Where’s the boy, what’s he waiting for?
Where’s the boy, here’s the girl
What is he hesitating for?
Can’t he see, here’s the girl
Maybe we shall meet on some romantic mountain
Probably I’ll meet him at a soda fountain
He’ll bring me joy
But what’s he waiting for?
Where’s the boy, here’s the girl
Oh where’s the boy, what’s he waiting for?
Where’s the boy, here’s the girl
Oh what is he hesitating for?
Can’t he see, here’s the girl
Maybe we shall meet on some romantic mountain
Probably I’ll meet him at a soda fountain
He’ll bring me joy
But what’s he waiting for?
Where’s the boy, here’s the girl

Covered by multiple other artists
Oh it's so funny to be seeing you after so long, girl
And with the way you look I understand
that you are not impressed
But I heard you let that little friend of mine
take off your party dress
I'm not going to get too sentimental
like those other sticky valentines
'cause I don't know if you've been loving somebody
I only know it isn't mine
Alison, I know this world is killing you
Oh, Alison, my aim is true
Well I see you've got a husband now
Did he leave your pretty fingers lying in the wedding cake?
You used to hold him right in your hand
I'll bet he took all he could take
Sometimes I wish that I could stop you from talking
when I hear the silly things that you say
I think somebody better put out the big light
cause I can't stand to see you this way
Alison, I know this world is killing you
Oh, Alison, my aim is true
My aim is true

Where's My Apple Pie?
Where's My Apple Pie?
Composer(s): Joan Baez
Performer(s): Joan Baez
Been sitting on old park benches
Brother, hasn't it been fun?
But you remember me from the trenches
I fought in World War One
Yes, you saw us off at the troop train
Smiling a brave goodbye
But where were you when we came home
To claim our apple pie
Oh where's our apple pie, my friends?
Where's our apple pie?
We've walked and wheeled from the battlefield
Now where's our apple pie?
World War Two was a favorite
God was surely on our side
The teenage kids enlisted with
The blessings of their daddys' pride
Well the wars may change but not so the glaze
In the young boys' eyes
When they cry out for their mamas
In the hours before they die
Oh where's our apple pie, my friends?
Where's our apple pie?
We've walked and wheeled from the battlefield
Now where's our apple pie?
I volunteered for the last one
And I don't want to moralize
But somehow I thought we deserved the best
For the way we threw away our lives
For we all believed in something
I know it wasn't very clear
But I know it wasn't rats in a hospital room
And a broken-down wheelchair
Oh where's our apple pie, my friends?
Where's our apple pie?
We've walked and wheeled from the battlefield
Now where's our apple pie?
Yes, Johnny finally got his gun
Before he got his apple pie
Now he hasn't got a hand to eat it with
But still he doesn't want to die
Because he prefers to go on fighting
And let his baby brother know
When the next time around the call goes out
It's "Hell no, we won't go!"
There'll be no World War Three, my friends
There'll be no World War Three
We've walked and wheeled from the battlefield
There'll be no World War Three

Ik sta op een brug, het wordt avond
Daar in het water, zie ik jouw gezicht
Ik wil jouw beeld, heel zachtjes strelen
Blijf je nog even, deel mijn verdriet
'k Voel me zo leeg, zo leeg
Aline, 'k wil jou terug
'k Voel me zo leeg, zo leeg
Oh, 'k had nooit zo'n verdiet
Ik heb jou gezocht
Dagen en weken
Bij vrienden en vreemden
Maar van jou geen spoor
Jouw huis staat nu leeg
De tijd zo verlaten
Ik moet jou vergeten
Maar 'k wil jou terug
'k Voel me zo leeg, zo leeg
Aline, 'k wil jou terug
'k Voel me zo leeg, zo leeg
Oh, 'k had nooit zo'n verdiet
Er is geen mens
Met wie ik wil praten
Wie kan mij begrijpen
Alleen jij, Aline
'k Voel me zo leeg, zo leeg
Aline, 'k wil jou terug
'k Voel me zo leeg, zo leeg
Oh, 'k had nooit zo'n verdiet

Where's Me Shirt?
Where's Me Shirt?
Performer(s): Ken Dodd
Well it all began in the year of one
When Adam was the first man
And a girl called Eve, so we believe
Was made to be his woman
She led him up the Garden of Eden, by a tree
Then she offered him her apple
And he cried out suddenly (eee-eeee-eeeee)
Where's me shirt?
Where's me shirt?
I feel a proper twazzer without me shirt
I've got me tickling-tackle and me nicky-nocky-noo
But I must confess I feel undressed
Like this, in front of you
Where's me shirt?
I can't find me shirt anywhere
It's twenty-five past five in the Garden of Eden and I can't find me shirt
Fancy leaving me in a garden with no shirt on, like this
Look at all these creepy-crawly things here
Ooh, look, there's a serpent
Go 'way
Go 'way you nasty old serpent
Go on, shoo!
Go on, shoo!
Since the days of old, we've all been told
Of men like Bonaperte
His great retreat and his first defeat
Was the thing that broke his heart
He stuck just outside Moscow and then made history
He stuck his hand inside his coat
And cried out bitterly (eee-eeee-eeeee)
Where's me shirt?
Where's me shirt?
I can't go on like zis, wizout my shirt
I've had my tickle-tonic on my nicky-nocky-nee
But I just can't go through all this snow
Without a shirt on me
Where's me shirt?
Oh, sacre blue
Sacre flippin' blue, where's me shirt?
By Jove, t'ain't 'alf frosty
Ooh, ooh, this tent isn't 'alf drafty
I don't know where the draft's comin' from, but I know where it's goin' to
Back in eighty-one, in the mid-day sun
In Tombstone, one September
Wyatt Earp was due to go into
A gunfight he'd remember
The Clanton's and McLourys started firin' suddenly
As the gunsmoke cleared and the twonsfolk cheered
Wyatt Earp said quietly (eee-eeee-eeeee)
Where's me shirt?
Where's me shirt?
I feel a proper twit without me shirt
I've lost me ticklin'-tackle and me nicky-nocky-nee
But I feel a twerp, me Wyatt Earp
With my shirt shot off o' me
Ere, where's me shirt?
Where's me gunfightin' shirt?
Ooh, I say, here comes the Indians
'Ere, you be careful where you're shootin' those arrows
Where's me shirt?
Where's me shir...
I can't find me shirt anywhere
D'you know, I'm sure I had it when I came out
Where's me shirt?

J'avais dessiné sur le sable
Son doux visage, qui me souriait
Puis il a plu, sur cette plage
Dans cet orage, elle a disparu
Et j'ai crié, crié Aline pour qu'elle revienne
Et j'ai pleuré, pleuré oh j'avais trop de peine
Je me suis assis, auprès de son âme
Mais la belle dame, s'était enfuie
Je l'ai cherché, sans plus y croire
Et sans un espoir, pour me guider
Et j'ai crié, crié Aline pour qu'elle revienne
Et j'ai pleuré, pleuré oh j'avais trop de peine
Je n'ai gardé, que ce doux visage
Comme une épave, sur le sable mouillé
Et j'ai crié, crié Aline pour qu'elle revienne
Et j'ai pleuré, pleuré oh j'avais trop de peine
Et j'ai crié, crié Aline pour qu'elle revienne
Et j'ai pleuré, pleuré oh j'avais trop de peine
Et j'ai crié, crié Aline pour qu'elle revienne
Et j'ai pleuré, pleuré oh j'avais trop de peine

Wherefore And Why
Wherefore And Why
Composer(s): Gordon Lightfoot
Performer(s): Gordon Lightfoot;
and various other artists
When I awoke this mornin', something inside of me
Told me this would be my day
I heard the mornin' train, I felt the wind change
Too many times I'm on my way
Come on sunshine, what can you show me
Where can you take me and make me understand
The wind can shake me, brothers forsake me
The rain can touch me, but can I touch the rain
Then I saw the Sun rise above the cotton sky
Like a candycane delight
I saw the milkman, I saw the business man
I saw the only road in sight
Then I got to thinkin' what makes you want to go
To know the wherefore and the why
So many times now, oh Lord, I can't remember
If it's September or July
Come on sunshine, what can you show me
Where can you take me and make me understand
The wind can shake me, brothers forsake me
The rain can touch me, but can I touch the rain
Then all at once it came to me, I saw the wherefore
And you can see it if you try
It's in the Sun above, it's in the one you love
You'll never know the reason why
Come on sunshine, what can you show me
Where can you take me to make me understand
The wind can shake me, brothers forsake me
The rain can touch me, but can I touch the rain
So much to lose, so much to gain

Covered by multiple other artists
In the wintertime keep your feet warm
But keep your clothes on and don't forget me
Keep the memories
But keep your powder dry too
In the summer by the poolside
While the fireflies are all around you
All miss you when I'm lonely
I'll miss the alimony too
Don't forget me - don't forget me
Take it easy if only for a little while
You know I think about you
Let me know you think about me too
And when we're older and full of cancer
It doesn't matter, come on get happy
`Cause nothing lasts forever
But I will always love you
Don't forget me, please don't forget me
Make it easy if just for a little while
You know I think about you
Let me know you think about me too

Where You Lead
Where You Lead
Composer(s): Carole King; Toni Stern
Performer(s): Faith Hill;
and various other artists
Wanting you the way I do
I only want to be with you
And I would go
To the ends of the earth
`Cause, darling
To me that's what
You're worth
Where you lead, I will follow
Anywhere that you tell me to
If you need, you need me to be with you
I will follow where you lead
If you're out on the road
Feeling lonely, and so cold
All you have to do is call my name
And I'll be there on the next train
Where you lead, I will follow
Anywhere that you tell me to
If you need, you need me to be with you
I will follow where you lead
I always wanted a real home
With flowers in the window sill
But if you want to live in New York City
Honey, you know I will
I never thought I could get satisfaction
From just one man
If anyone can keep me happy
You're the one who can
Where you lead, I will follow
Anywhere that you tell me to
If you need, you need to be with you
I will follow
Where you lead, I will follow
Anywhere that you tell me to
If you need, you need to be with you
I will follow where you lead
Oh, yes I will
Oh, I'm gonna follow where you lead
I'm gonna follow where you lead
Oh, I'm gonna follow where you lead
I will follow
I will follow
Oh, yes I will
