All About You
All About You
Composer(s): Mick Jagger - Keith Richards
Performer(s): The Rolling Stones
Well if you call this a life
Why must I spend it with you?
If the show must go on
Let it go on without you
So sick and tired hanging around with jerks like you
Who'll tell me those lies
And let me think they're true?
What am I to do
You want it, I got it too
Though the lies might be true
That's just cause the joke's about you
I'm so sick and tired hanging around with dogs like you
You're the first to get blamed, always the last bitch to get paid
Oh, tell me those lies
Let me think they're true
I heard one or two
They weren't about me, they weren't about her
They were all about you
I may miss you
But missing me just isn't you
I'm so sick and tired hanging around with dogs like you
Tell me those lies
Let me think they're true
I heard one or two, and they weren't about me, they weren't about her
They're all about you
I'm so sick and tired
What should I do
You want it, you get it...
So how come I'm still in love with you?

While My Guitar Gently Weeps
While My Guitar Gently Weeps
Composer(s): George Harrison
Performer(s): The Beatles
I look at you all see the love there that's sleeping
While my guitar gently weeps
I look at the floor and I see it needs sweeping
Still my guitar gently weeps
I don't know why nobody told you
How to untold your love
I don't know how someone controlled you
They bought and sold you
I look at the world and I notice it's turning
While my guitar gently weeps
I with every mistake we must surely be learning
Still my guitar gently weeps
I don't know how you were diverted you were perverted too
I don't know how you were inverted no one alerted you
I look at you all see the love there that's sleeping
While my guitar gently weeps
I look at you all
Still my guitar gently weeps

All About Soul
All About Soul
Composer(s): Billy Joel
Performer(s): Billy Joel; Anders Holst
She waits for me at night, she waits for me in silence
She gives me all her tenderness and takes away my pain
And so far she hasn't run, though I swear she's had her moments
She still believes in miracles while others cry in vain
It's all about soul
It's all about faith and a deeper devotion
It's all about soul
'Cause under the love is a stronger emotion
She's got to be strong
'Cause so many things getting out of control
Should drive her away
So why does she stay?
It's all about soul
She turns to me sometimes and asks me what I'm dreaming
And I realize I must have gone a million miles away
And I ask her how she knew to reach out for me that moment
And she smiles because it's understood there are no words to say
It's all about soul
It's all about knowing what someone is feeling
The woman's got soul
The power of love and the power of healing
This life isn't fair
It's gonna get dark, it's gonna get cold
You've got to be tough, but that ain't enough
It's all about soul
There are people who have lost every trace of human kindness
There are many who have fallen, there are some who still survive
She comes to me at night and she tells me her desires
And she gives me all the love I need to keep my faith alive
It's all about soul
It's all about joy that comes out of sorrow
It's all about soul
Who's standing now and who's standing tomorrow
You've got to be hard
Hard as the rock in that old rock 'n' roll
But that's only part, you know in your heart
It's all about soul

While I'm Waiting
While I'm Waiting
Composer(s): Gary Mallaber; John Massaro
Performer(s): The Steve Miller Band
I left my message on your number
In hopes that you might call
Riding high on good intentions
Still hanging on the wall
Although my words were never all too
Clear it’s understood
It’s never too late to say in other ways
Something in our lives we’ll rearrange
More than just your call on holiday
Ring me up, don’t bring me down
Don’t let me hear you won’t
Come through tonight
Ring me up, don’t bring me down
You know this lonely heart stands by me
While I’m waiting
Remembering how it came together
The meaning in your eyes
Now words fall out like perfect strangers
We both apologize
In all this time I thought I knew you
And over looked somehow the reasons why
You kept inside
Ring me up, don’t bring me down
Don’t let me hear you won’t
Come through tonight
This lonely heart stands by me
While I’m waiting
Ring me up, don’t bring me down
Don’t let me hear you won’t
Come through tonight
Ring me up, don’t bring me down
Here’s hoping the days gone by we’ll see again
This lonely heart stands by and I’m still waiting
Ooh still waiting
Ooh still waiting

All About Love
All About Love
Composer(s): Maurice White - Larry Dunn
Performer(s): Earth, Wind & Fire
We know it’s been time talking to you
So we figure we lay it on you
Let you know how we feel about, love
Paint a pretty smile, each day
Lovin, is a blessing
Never let it fade away
It’s all about love
Build yourself a true romance
There’s beauty that surround you
You deserve, just one more chance
My dear, my dear
Let the light snine, all through
Your mind feel your little, heart a glow
Take the time, make up your mind
It’s all about love
Talking to yourself is fine makes
You feel, much better
Know just where to draw the line
My dear, my dear
Bound to fall in love one day
Surely and you need it
Pretty smile will always say
It’s all about love
We want to take this moment to run
Down a couple of things about things
We see everyday
Now, I want you to stop whatever you’re doing
You’re doing
Just stop
You know, they say there’ s beauty
In the eyes which I say is not the fact
’cause you are as beautiful as your
Thoughts, right on
You know, for instance, we study all kin
Kinds of sciences, astrogy, mysticism
Religion, so forth we did
And like coming from here place, all these things help
Because if you’re inside your inner self
Have mercy!
Now
There’s an outer self we got to deal with
The one that likes to go to parties
One that likes to dress up and be cool
And look pretty, all ego-trips avel all this
Hear you all, I’m trying to tell you
You gotta love you. and learn all the beautiful things around you
Trees and birds. and if there ain’t no beauty
You got to make some beauty
Have mercy!
Listen to me, yeah!

While I'm Still Alive
While I'm Still Alive
Composer(s): Ultravox
Performer(s): Ultravox
Playing the game
With the chips on my shoulder
Checking in the mirror
As my coffee cup gets colder
Stagger and swagger
Combing my hair
If tomorrow's not there
Then at least today's all mine
Chorus:
While I'm still alive
While I'm still alive
While I'm still alive
Strutting my stuff
I'm blagging the damage
From coupling with headlines
I was suckled on salvage
The fighting's exciting
The age is dramatic
I'm crackling with static
Just jiving to survive
(Chorus)
Take a stroll down the side roads, I know you want to
A shock in the dark can be good for your heart, oh yeah
(Chorus)
Scuffling along
On the crest of a wave
Laughing and grafting
Or jerking and working
Striking a match
Where life is a gas
I need the flash
To make it all worthwhile
(Chorus)

All (James Darren)
All
Composer(s): Nino Oliviero - Raymond Jessel - Marian Grudeff
Performer(s): James Darren
All the words I can recall
Could never capture all
The loveliness of you
All the phrases I might sigh
Could never tell you why
I want so much to hold you and enfold you
All your love, bring to me
Come to me, darling, cling to me
And I promise you that
All my life I'll give my all
No task will be too small
And nothing be above me if you love me
All your love, bring to me
Come to me, darling, cling to me
And I promise you that
All my life I'll give my all
No task will be too small
And nothing be above me
If you love me
I will give my all

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
God bless you

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
