White Shoes


White Shoes
Composer(s): Jack Tempchin
Performer(s): Emmylou Harris; Randy Meisner



I want 'em
I need 'em
And I'm gonna go out and get 'em
White shoes
I know I'll
Feel better
When I slide down into the leather
White shoes

You know she left me with a lonesome blues
Been sittin' around too long with nothin' to do
Yeah, she really made me pay those dues
But, I'm going out on the town tonight
In white shoes
White shoes
Woah, woah, white shoes
White shoes
Woah, woah -- white shoes

Well, I woke up
Form a dream
When I saw 'em in a magazine
White shoes
I said, Jack
You gotta start new
And the first thing you gonna do
Is get some white shoes

You know she left she with a lonesome blues
Been sittin' around too long with nothin' to do
Yeah, she really made me pay those dues
But, I'm goin' out on the town tonight
In white shoes
White shoes
Woah, woah, white shoes
White shoes
Woah, woah -- white shoes

I want 'em
I need 'em
Yes, and I went out
And got 'em
White shoes

That new girl
When I see her
I'm gonna walk right up
And meet her in
White shoes

You know she left me with a lonesome blues
Been sittin' around too long with nothin' to do
Yes, she really made me pay those dues
But, I'm goin' out on the town tonight
In white shoes
White shoes, woah, woah
White shoes
Woah, woah -- white shoes

All Fired Up


All Fired Up
Composer(s): P. Giraldo - Kerryn Tolhurst
Performer(s): Pat Benatar



Livin' with my eyes closed, goin' day to day
I never knew the difference, I never cared either way
Lookin' for a reason, searchin' for a sign
Reachin' out with both hands, I gotta feel the kick inside
All Fired up
Now I believe there comes a time
All fired up
When everything just falls in line
All fired up
We live an' learn from our mistakes
All fired up, fired up, fired up - Hey

Ain't nobody livin', in a perfect world
Everybody's out there, cryin' to be heard
Now I got a new fire, burnin' in my eyes
Lightin' up the darkness, movin' like a meteorite

All fired up
Now I believe there comes a time
All fired up
When everything just falls in line
All fired up
We live an' learn from our mistakes
All fired up, fired up, fired up
The deepest cuts are healed by faith
Now I believe there comes a time
When everything just falls in line
We live an' learn from our mistakes
The deepest cuts are healed by faith

Now I believe there comes a time
When everything just falls in line
We live an' learn from our mistakes
The deepest cuts are healed by faith
Now I believe there comes a time
When everything just falls in line
We live an' learn from our mistakes
The deepest cuts are healed by faith
Now I believe there comes a time
When everything just falls in line
We live an' learn from our mistakes
The deepest cuts are healed by faith
Now I believe

All fired up
Now I believe there comes a time
All fired up
When everything just falls in line
All fired up
We live an' learn from our mistakes
All fired up, fired up, fired up
The deepest cuts are healed by faith
Now I believe there comes a time
When everything just falls in line
We live an' learn from our mistakes
The deepest cuts are healed by faith

White Room


White Room
Composer(s): Jack Bruce; Pete Brown
Performer(s): Cream



In a white room
With black curtains
Near the stations
Blackroof country
No gold pavements
Tired starlings
Silver horses
Ran down moonbeams
In your dark eyes
Dawn-light smiled
On you leaving
My contentment

I'll wait in this place
Where the sun never shines
Wait in this place
Were the shadows run from themselves

You said no things
Could secure you
At the station
Platform tickets
Restless diesels
Goodbye windows
In walked into
such a sad time
At the station
As I walked out
Felt my own need
Just beginning

I'll wait in the queue
When the trains come back
Lie with you
Where the shadows run from themselves

At the party
She was kindness
In the hard crowd
Consolation
For the old wounds
Now forgotten
Yellow tigers
Crouched in jungles
In het dark eyes
She's just dressing
Goodbye windows
Tired starlings

I'll sleep in this place
With the lonely crowd
Life in the dark
Where the shadows run from themselves

All Fall Down


All Fall Down
Composer(s): Phil Bates - Bev Bevan
Performer(s): Electric Light Orchestra



What can you tell me, of the perfect man
What can you tell me, now I don't quite understand
We lose our grip, we glide and stall
Some things come easy, some don't come at all

We chip away at the perfect man
What can you show me, now I don't quite understand
Eye to eye nothing left to say
But will you really throw it all away

We trip, we stumble, and we all fall down
Things go wrong, though are strong
We slip, we fumble, and we all fall down
Round and round, we all fall down
Sometime....

No matter how we try to keep things straight
It makes no difference, while we cause our fate
We burn our candle unaware
While on our knees we cry in prayer

We trip, we stumble, and we all fall down
Pain wont last, this too shall pass
We slip, we fumble, and we all fall down
Round and round, time and time, again

But ahhhh
If it's so simple then explain to me
How pain is so close to ecstasy
How change can make you feel so free

Ahhhh
If we were meant to be such perfect fools
Then why do we always break the rules
Crashing through life's scenery

We trip, we stumble, and we all fall down
Angry cries and desperate lies
We slip, we fumble, and we all fall down
Hearts to mend, sun comes up again

White Rabbit


White Rabbit
Composer(s): Grace Slick
Performer(s): Jefferson Airplane



One pill makes you larger
And one pill makes you small
And the ones that mother gives you
Don't do anything at all
Go ask Alice
When she's ten feet tall
And if you go chasing rabbits
And you know you're going to fall
Tell 'em a hookah smoking caterpillar
Has given you the call
Call Alice
When she was just small
When the men on the chessboard
Get up and tell you where to go
And you've just had some kind of mushroom
And your mind is moving low
Go ask Alice
I think she'll know
When logic and proportion
Have fallen sloppy dead
And the White Knight is talking backwards
And the Red Queen's "off with her head!"
Remember what the dormouse said
"Feed your head
Feed your head
Feed your head"

All Eyes On You


All Eyes On You
Performer(s): Peter Frampton



I'll believe you when I see you cry
No one needs to tell me reasons why
And I'm scared of losing, losing all we have

When there's all eyes on you
All eyes on you
Let it be my eyes on you

Stop this feeling
Make it go away
I had to change things
Soon as yesterday
As I watch you fading, fading out on me

Now there's all eyes on you
All eyes on you
All eyes on you
All eyes on you
Let it be my eyes on you

If I tell you I'll be there
Won't you give me one more chance to change
If you listen to what I say
I know you are the only one for me

I'll believe you when I see you cry
No one needs to tell me reasons why

When there's all eyes on you

All eyes on you
All eyes on you
All eyes on you
Let it be my eyes on you
(Repeats)

White On White


White On White
Composer(s): Lor Crane; Bernice Ross
Performer(s): Danny Williams



White on white, lace on satin
Blue velvet ribbons on her bouquet
White on white, lace on satin
My little angel is getting married today

Here she comes in her wedding gown lookin' like a queen
She has been my only love since she was thirteen
I've been dreaming of this day and how proud I'd be
When she came walkin' down the aisle and held out her hand to me

White on white, lace on satin
Blue velvet ribbons on her bouquet
White on white, lace on satin
My little angel is getting married today

I'll be waiting to kiss the bride when her name is new
Standing oh, so close to her silently saying "I do"
I'll be holding back my tears till she's gone away
'cause she'll belong to someone else when the organ starts to play

White on white, lace on satin
Blue velvet ribbons on her bouquet
White on white, lace on satin
My little angel is ge-e-etting ma-a-rried today

All Eyes


All Eyes
Composer(s): Greg Bloch - Connie - Laura Kinghtlinger - Holly Knight
Performer(s): Heart



Hey hot shot boy
Hand on your hip
You're wasting your time
Giving me lip
When you look at me, it melts my legs
And wraps me around your fingertip

You don't have to say a word
To get hold of me
Take me...shake me
Burning gravity baby
Look at me
Look at me

You're all eyes - all eyes
Touching me in the night
You're all eyes - and those eyes
Are tearing me up inside

We go walking you and I
If some woman turns your eye
I pull you back in my direction
Too keep you by my side

You don't have to go nowhere
To get where you should be
You don't have to look around
Just you look at me - look at me - look at me

You're all eyes - all eyes
Touching me in the night
You're all eyes - and those eyes
Are tearing me up inside

White Lightning


White Lightning
Composer(s): J.P. Richardson
Performer(s): George Jones



Well in North Carolina, way back in the hills
Me and my old pappy had a hand in a still
We brewed white lightnin' 'til the sun went down
Then he'd fill him a jug and he'd pass it around
Mighty, mighty pleasin, pappy's corn squeezin'
Whshhhoooh . . . white lightnin'

(Chorus)
Well the "G" men "T" men revenuers, too
Searchin' for the place where he made his brew
They were looking, tryin to book him, but my pappy kept a-cookin'
Whshhhoooh . . . white lightnin'

Well I asked my old pappy why he called his brew
White lightnin' 'stead of mountain dew
I took a little sip and right away I knew
As my eyes bugged out and my face turned blue
Mighty, mighty pleasin, pappy's corn squeezin'
Shhhoooh . . . white lightnin'

(Chorus)

Well a city slicker came and he said "I'm tough"
I think I wanna taste that powerful stuff
He took one s-s-sip and drank it right down
And I heard him a moaning as he hit the ground
Mighty, mighty pleasin, pappy's corn squeezin'
Whshhhoooh . . . white lightnin'

(Chorus)

I'm all dressed up
With a broken heart
Pretending I'm with you
Someone else in my arms
Only bring back your charms

And the teardrops start
I realize it's true
I'm all dressed up
With a broken heart
And still in love with you

When I'm alone
And the teardrops start
I realize it's true
I'm all dressed up
With a broken heart
And still in love with you

White Days Of Spring


White Days Of Spring
Spanish Title: Días Blancos De Primavera
Performer(s): Pedro Aznar



White days of Spring
To awaken with the green that's sprung
its perfume comes to give you a quick spray
White days of Spring
this blue will take your pain away
farther than the cold, to some frozen corner

Days without peace, no longer will there be days without peace
If you've already drowned from crying
If you've already cleansed your soul anew
Back to shining, release your grief, back to shining

White days of Spring
flower in bloom waiting to give its all
by barely asking you to look at it

Back to shining, release your grief, back to shining
Because winter will return
today is time for warmth
Sunny day, may today be a sunny day
Don't insist on looking back
for one day, soon, days will freeze

Every Spring day
Every petal carries a song
that it prepared while the cold drowned its voice

Sunny day, may today be a sunny day
If you've already drowned from crying
If you've already cleansed your soul anew
Days of love, days for giving, days of love

White days of Spring
This white blossom of today holds the fruit
May all of life shine in Spring
inside and out the Sun returns

White Car In Germany


White Car In Germany
Composer(s): Billy Mackenzie; Alan Rankine
Performer(s): Associates



Aberdeen's an old place
Dusseldorf's a cold place
Cold as spies can be
Lisp your way through Zurich
Walk on eggs in Munich
Rub salt in its knee

I'm not one for surgery
Premature senility
White car in Germany

Anonymous as bathrooms
Androgynous as Dachshunds
Try them out and see
If some brat annoys you
Do what's felt impromptu
Kick them in their own

Is this your infirmary
On the road to recovery
White car in Germany

White car
White car
White car in Germany

And ask me to say to
Do something for her love

White Bird


White Bird
Composer(s): David LaFlamme; Linda LaFlamme
Performer(s): It's A Beautiful Day;
and various other artists



White bird in a golden cage
On a winter's day, in the rain
White bird in a golden cage
Alone

The leaves blow 'cross the long black road
To the darkened sky, in its rage
But the white bird just sits in her cage
Unknown

White bird must fly or she will die
The white bird dreams of the aspen tree
With her dying leaves turning gold
But the white bird just sits in her cage
Growing old

White bird must fly or she will die
White bird must fly or she will die

The sunsets come, the sunsets go
The clouds float by, the earth turns slow
And a young bird's eyes do always glow
And she must fly
And she must fly
And she must fly

White bird in a golden cage
On a winter's day, in the rain
White bird in a golden cage
Alone

White bird must fly or she will die
White bird must fly or she will die
White bird must fly or she will die
White bird must fly
