Whirlwind Soldier


Whirlwind Soldier
Composer(s): Cassandra Wilson
Performer(s): Cassandra Wilson



We speak in separate words
We love in differeent colors
Our love is madness how can it be?
This is a mystery to me

You broke into my world
shattering all the lies that I'd heard all my life
You were a whirlwind bending the trees, bending the trees
I am a summer breeze

Can I ride with you?
I know that the road is long
Can I ride with you?
I know I will be strong

Until the journey's end
we are forever friends
You and I
You were a whirlwind bending the trees, bending the trees
I'll be a summer breeze

All Around Cowboy Of 1964


All Around Cowboy Of 1964
Composer(s): Buddy Alan - R. McDonald
Performer(s): Buck Owens



Folks used to think that
I could ride any bronc or bull alive
Maybe in my younger days I could
But now I'm slowin' down a bit
friends tell me that I should quit
And if I didn't love it so I would

I recall when folks thought
I was great and all the riders used to hate
To see my name upon the entry door
'Cause I could ride and I could rope
The others seem they have no hope
A lookin' at a buckle that I wore

It's that all around cowboy of nineteen sixty four
Long days and lucky breaks have me alone
Workin' hard and ridin' fast and sleepin' in the cold
Made me all around cowboy of nineteen sixty four

Folks don't seem to realize
the thrill I get from every ride
That bronc feels like you're dynamite to me
Scratched and bruised my body aches
from day to day to use it's takes
Lord, only knows the way that sets me free

Now my days have shortened up
I'm out of breakes and out of luck
And things will never be the same old way
As I look back and shed a tear
Sometimes I can almost hear
The echo of the judges, they would say

You're the all around cowboy of nineteen sixty four
Long days and lucky breaks have me alone
Workin' hard and ridin' fast and sleepin' in the cold
Made me all around cowboy of nineteen sixty four

Yes, I'm the all around cowboy of nineteen sixty four...

Whipping Post


Whipping Post
Composer(s): Gregg Allman
Performer(s): The Allman Brothers Band



I've been run down
I've been lied to
I don't know why
I let that mean woman make me a fool
She took all my money
wrecked my new car
Now she's with one of my good time buddies
They're drinkin' in some crosstown bar

Sometimes I feel, sometimes I feel
Like I've been tied to the whipping post
Tied to the whipping post
Tied to the whipping post
Good lord, I feel like I'm dyin'

My friends tell me
that I've been such a fool
And I have to stand by and take it baby
all for lovin' you
Drown myself in sorrow
and I look at what you've down
But nothin' seems to change
the bad times stay the same
And I can't run

Sometimes I feel, sometimes I feel
Like I've been tied to the whipping post
Tied to the whipping post
Tied to the whipping post
Good lord, I feel like I'm dyin'

All Around


All Around
Composer(s): Andrew Farriss - Michael Hutchence
Performer(s): INXS



I see the rising sun
I feel the warming one
We've come a circle
To the way we once begun

No one's really sure
How to make it up
Or give a name to the way
We've been acting lately

All around

A man he buys a gun
He is his father's son
But one day he takes to gun
And takes the lives of one and many

Looking out one day
A message comes to me
I saw a woman tell the truth
And end up behind bars

I walked an empty street
Proud to spill a tear
Then came my shame
My fear to blame
The one and only

See the rising sun
Feel the warming one
We've come a circle
To the way we once begun

Whiplash, whiplash
Whiplash, whiplash
In 1851
The great Australian gold rush
The only law a gun
The only shelter wild bush
Whiplash, whiplash
Umm-uum, uum-uum-uuum
Uum-uum

We’re all American girls
And we love that life that we lead
We’re all American girls
Hear what we say, know what we mean

We’re all American girls
And we love that life that we lead
We’re all American girls

The day has finally come
We’re reachin’ out for number one
We’ve worked hard all of our lives

We’re all American girls
And we love that life that we lead
We’re all American girls
Hear what we say, know what we mean

Sometimes the struggle gets rough
You give your all, but it’s not enough
A vacant job at the top
Don’t let ‘em tell you that right you’re not

We’re not asking to reverse
Roles so long rehearsed
Give us an equal share
That’s just fair

We’re all American girls
And we love that life that we lead
We’re all American girls
Hear what we say, know what we mean

We’re all American girls
And we love that life that we lead
We’re all American girls
Hear what we say, know what we mean

All American
All American girls

And we love that life that we lead (‘Cause)

Whip It


Whip It
Composer(s): Gerald V. Cassale; Mark Mothersbaugh
Performer(s): Devo;
and various other artists



Crack that whip
Give the past the slip
Step on a crack
Break your momma's back

When a problem comes along
You must whip it
Before the cream sits out too long
You must whip it
When something's going wrong
You must whip it

now whip it
into shape
shape it up
get straight
go forward
move ahead
try to detect it
it's not too late
to whip it
whip it good

When a good time turns around
You must whip it
You will never live it down
Unless you whip it
No one gets their way
Until they whip it

I say whip it
Whip it good

All American Alien Boy


All American Alien Boy
Composer(s): Ian Hunter
Performer(s): Ian Hunter; Mott the Hoople



I packed my bags - in the land of rags
'Cos I don't believe in them dimmo drags
Don't wanna vote for the left wing - don't wanna vote for the right
I gotta have both-to make me fly

Just a whitey from Blighty - heading out west
Got my little green card 'n my bulletproof vest
Goin' to old tube city - where the buzz is the best
On down the line (down the line) down the line (down the line)

Well I was born (on the line) 'n I was raised (on the line)
I was schooled (on the line) 'n I was fazed (on the line)
'N I was used (on the line) 'n I was dazed (on the line)
Just had to split (off the line) 'cos I was crazed (off the line)

'N I remember all the good times - me 'n Miller enjoyed
Up and down the M1 in some luminous yo-yo toy
But the future has to change - and to change I've got to destroy
Oh look out Lennon here I come - land ahoy-hoy-hoy

All American Alien Boy All American Alien Boy

Don't look down put your feet on the ground don't drown in the big aquarium
Don't walk slow - put on a big show - shove your meat down vegetarians
Don't get slugged, get mugged, get bugged, or they'll sling you in the jug
Shove you under some rug, give you some drug - pull out the plug and then...

And they're telling me this hamburger's cheaper than the other
'N this television's cheaper than the other
And they're selling me hotdogs cheaper than the other
'N these pizzas cheaper than the other
And I don't understand all this - I'm just an All American Alien Boy

'N they're telling me rifles are shot in Connecticut
They're telling me pistols are shot in Westchester
You can get a Saturday Night Special on Flatbush, on the Bowery, or the Bronx

Or on 42nd Street - And I don't understand all this - being an All American Alien Boy

I've got sodium nitrate rotting in my guts
My head's full of ulcers I got lungs full of butts
My heart wants a transplant - it thinks that I'm nuts
My logic won't open - my eyes won't shut
'N I'm beginning to dig all this - being an All American Alien Boy

And your women are always right (alright)
They always know so much more
'Cos the women came from heaven
'N the men came outta some store
'N they don't know who they are and they don't know what they're for

I'm an All American Alien Boy - look out Mary Tyler Moore - All American Alien Boy ...

Ten Bears, Two Bears, Standing Bear, Plenty Bear
Old Bear, Brave Bear, Hollow Horn Bear
Silver Knife, Spotted Tail, Yellow Hand, Red Cloud
Red Fox, Red Horse, Black Kettle
White Ghost, White Bull, White Thunder, White Hog
hold on a minute gotta frog in my throat
Cochise, Alchise, Roman Nose, Geronimo - hold on a minute - more to go
Sitting Bull, Tall Bull, Crazy Horse and Short Bull
Low Dog, Red Dog, Yellow Wolf, Low Wolf
Loco, Victorio, Chato, Little Crow, Dead Eyes, Jak, Taza 'n Colorow
My mouth's exploiting that's enough of this noise
I guess we're all - All American Alien Boys

While We're Young


While We're Young
Composer(s): Alec Wilder; Morty Palitz; Bill Engvick
Performer(s): Peggy Lee



Songs were meant to sing while we're young
Ev'ry day is spring while we're young
None can refuse; time flies so fast
Too dear to lose, and too sweet to last

Though it may be just for today
Share our love we must, while we may
How blue the sky, all sweet surprise
Shines before our eyes while we're young

How blue the sky, all sweet surprise
Shines before our eyes while we're young

All Along The Watchtower


All Along The Watchtower
((Italian Version: Lungo I Merli Di Vedetta (by Tito Schipa Jr.) - 1987))
Composer(s): Bob Dylan
First release by: Bob Dylan - 1967
Covered by multiple other artists



There must be some kind of way outta here
said the joker to the thief
There´s too much confusion...
I can´t get no relief

Business men they drink my wine
Plowman, dig my earth
None of them along the line
Know what any of it is worth
hey, hey

No reason to get excited
The thief he kindly spoke
There are many here among us
Who feel that life is but a joke
But, uh...but you and I, we´ve been through that
And this is not our fate
So let us stop talkin´ falsely now
The hour´s getting late, hey

All along the watchtower
Princes kept the view
While all the women came and went
Barefoot servants, too
Outside in the cold distance
A wildcat did growl
Two riders were approaching
And the wind began to howl

While You're Away "Pack Up Your Cares In A Bundle Of Joy"


While You're Away "Pack Up Your Cares In A Bundle Of Joy"
Composer(s): L. Wolfe Gilbert; Anatole Friedland



His furlough time was over, he was told to say goodbye
And though his heart was staunch and true
A tear drop dimmed his eye
His little mother by his side she smiled to hide her pain
And whispered softly let's be brave
Your tear drop is in vain

As brave as any soldier is the mother of her son
Her golden soul has done it's share
In every vict'ry won
In years gone by and those to be, the soldier can recall
The message from his mother dear
He treasures more than all

While you're away
While you're away I'll keep the lovelight bright
So at night it will light, your way, dear
Just think of me wheree'er you'll be
I'll do my share, and bear, for someday
While you're away
You'll write and say
Our work is done and I am sailing homeward today
Pack up your cares in a bundle of joy
I'll wait for you till it's over my boy
May God bless you while you're away

All Alone In Vienna


All Alone In Vienna
Composer(s): Lewis Ilda - Leo Towers - Morton Morrow
Performer(s): Vera Lynn



All alone in Vienna
In that old rendezvous
There's the same old moon on high
Oh, Why must I be here without you

All alone in Vienna
Where we sang love's refrain
In this city of romance
Have we no chance of meeting again

Two lonely hearts I see
Carved on the linden tree
Do you still think of me
While I'm alone

All alone in Vienna
With a prayer in my heart
But some day we'll meet again
And then remain together sweetheart

While You See A Chance


While You See A Chance
Composer(s): Winwood; Jennings
Performer(s): Joe Cocker



Stand up in a clear blue morning
until you see what can be
alone in a cold day dawning
are you still free, can you be
when some cold tomorrow finds you
when some sad old dream reminds you
how the endless road unwinds you
when there's no one left to leave you
even you don't quite believe you
and that old grey wind is blowing
and there's nothing left worth knowing
while you see a chance take it
find romance, fake it
because it's all on you

All Alone In California


All Alone In California
Composer(s): Dan Hill
Performer(s): Dan Hill



He caught her signal
As she strolled in the bar
Amidst all the lonely people
Out to prove they're popular
And he came upon her slowly
Not sure of what to say
Trying to sound clever - but words got in the way

Conversation wandered -
Though their eyes seldom met
They both knew what they were after
And they played it step by step
And his mind was getting foggy
The drinks were coming fast
Momentary friendship - with no future and no past

All alone in California
Looking for some fun
His eyes were feeling heaving
He kind of wished that he could run
The colours started spinning
As she kissed away his doubts
The night was just beginning
As his body began to melt…

She watched the sunrise
While he slept in dreams unknown
And she wondered what his name was
Though she barely knew her own
And she slowly started crying
Though she wasn't white sure why
Trying to fight an emptiness
That haunted her insides

All alone in California
Looking for some fun
His eyes were feeling heaving
He kind of wished that he could run
The colours started spinning
As she kissed away his doubts
The night was just beginning
As his body began to melt…

While The Stars In The Heavens Shine On


While The Stars In The Heavens Shine On
Composer(s): Harry D. Kerr; Henry W. Petrie



Heart of my heart you seem, dear
to doubt that my love is true
Sometimes I think you feel, dear
It may not all be for you
Doubt that the sun is shining, doubt that the sky is blue
doubt the whole world, if you will, dear but doubt not my love for you

Birds to their mates are singing, the song that they love to hear
each flow'r with sweetend perfume, speaks love to the one that's near
soul speaks to soul, the answer never has yet been wrong
this is love's message to you, dear, and this is my own love song

While the stars in heaven shine on!
While the warm summer sun greets the dawn
the love that I give, will grow stronger and live
till the light of the world will be gone!
With a heart that shall beat just for you
all my vows every day I'll renew tho' the ocean may dry
love like mine shall not die while the stars in the heavens shine on!

All Alone Am I


All Alone Am I
((Adapted from: Min Ton Rotas Ton Ourano (by Tzeni Karezi) - 1959))
((Danish Version: Er Det Helt Forbi (by Birthe Kjær) - 1974))
Composer(s): Yiannis Ioanidis - Manos Hadjidakis - Arnie Altman
Performer(s): Brenda Lee - 1962
and multiple other artists



All alone am I ever since your goodbye
All alone with just a beat of my heart
People all around but I don't hear a sound
Just the lonely beating of my heart

No use in holding other hands
For I'd be holding only emptiness
No use in kissing other lips
For I'd be thinking just of your caress

All alone am I ever since your goodbye
All alone with just a beat of my heart
People all around but I don't hear a sound
Just the lonely beating of my heart

No other voice can say the words
My heart must hear to ever sing again
The words you used to whisper low
No other love can ever bring again

All alone am I ever since your goodbye
All alone with just a beat of my heart
People all around but I don't hear a sound
Just the lonely beating of my heart

While The Music Plays On


While The Music Plays On
Composer(s): Irving Mills; Lupin Fein; Eddie Heim
Performer(s): Tony Bennett;
and various other artists



Each night in some café, I'm on display
Until the dark turns into dawn
Up upon the stand singing with the band
While the music plays on

Each night is just a long and endless song
Until the last couple has gone
Vainly I'm the star singing out my heart
While the music plays on

Oh what madness to discover
Music still possesses all its charms
As I serenade my lover
Dancing by in someone else's arms

But I am not allowed to show the crowd
What happens when romance has gone
I must hid my fears singing through the tears
While the music plays on

Oh what madness to discover
Music still possesses all its charms
As I serenade my lover
Dancing by in someone else's arms

But I am not allowed to show the crowd
What happens when romance has gone
I must hid my fears singing through the tears
While the music plays on

All Alone (Marc Bolan & T. Rex)


All Alone
Performer(s): Marc Bolan & T. Rex



All alone I sit at home
with my chrome guitar
Even Michael Mouse
he had a house with someone there
You handsome bitch
you movie twitch and seranade
the dudes that move and
smile so vile and masquerade.
They masquerade, yeah.

An adjacent kid with a
Jamaican lid
and a switch-blade knife
steals the truth
from your golden tooth
then turns you in

So hold hands tight
on a marble night
you may be dismissed
but know that Zeus
is never loose with his Grecian kiss
his Grecian kiss

Fiery skies
in children's eyes
fade into youth
bleeding blood and tears
on all the ears that heard your gold.
so you walk the dog
and you stroll the frog
on a dome-sky earth
to lie to hard is an English bard.
You'd better hide your tracks
Better watch your mind

Ye-yeah, wo-wo-wo, do it to me baby now

While The Feeling's Good


While The Feeling's Good
Composer(s): Roger Bowling; Freddie Hart
Performer(s): Wayne Newton;
Kenny Rogers; B.J. Thomas



Take your gown out of the closet
Put it on that's why I bought it
Come stand in front of me and let me see
Take the warm smile that you're wearing
Place it on these lips that's burning
To share this fire you've built inside of me
Turn the light down in the bedroom
Pull the sheet down from the pillow
When we're like this
Love's easy understood
Let's walk through this house we live in
To the room we always love in
And let's love each other while the feeling's good

With all my will I promise
With all of me I'll love you
This feeling that I've got
Just grows and grows
I can't stop this wanting you
And I can't stop this needing you
No more than I can stop
The wind that blows
I'll hold to your sweet loving
Long as we both have this feeling
I'll love you everyway I know that's good
Let's walk through this house we live in
To the room we always love in
And let's love each other while the feeling's good

While the feelings good
Let's keep it going
While the loving's good
Let's keep it growing
Let's walk through this house we live in
To the room we always love in
And let's love each other while the feeling's good

All Alone (Frank Sinatra)


All Alone
Composer(s): Irving Berlin
Performer(s): Frank Sinatra



All alone, I'm so all alone
There is no one else but you
All alone by the telephone
Waiting for a ring, a ting-a-ling

I'm all alone every evening
All alone, feeling blue
Wond'ring where you are and how you are
And if you are all alone too

I wonder where you are (remember me) and how you are
(remember me)
And if you are (I love you) all alone (I love you) too
