Words ... don't come easy to me
how can I find a way
to make you see I love you?
words don't come easy
Words ... don't come easy to me
This is the only way
for me to say I love you

Well I'm just a music man
melody's so far my best friend
but my words are coming out wrong
and I ... I reveal my heart to you and
hope that you believe it's true
.... 'cause
Words ... don't come easy to me
how can I find a way
to make you see I love you?
words don't come easy
This is just a simple song
that I've made for you on my own
There's no hidden meaning you know
when I ... when I say I love you honey
please believe I really do
.... 'cause
Words ... don't come easy to me
how can I find a way
to make you see I love you?
words don't come easy
It isn't easy ...
words don't come easy
Words ... don't come easy to me
how can I find a way
to make you see I love you?
words don't come easy
Words ... don't come easy to me
This is the only way
for me to say I love you
words don't come easy

Words Are Not Enough
Words Are Not Enough
Composer(s): Ace Frehley; Jimmy Keneally
Performer(s): Ace Frehley
Can't stop tossin' and turnin' at night
It gets harder each day, fighting with this feeling inside
You can swear that you love me
By every star in the sky
But when you're close to me
You get that look in you eye
A burning feeling, you just can't disguise
Chorus:
Words are not enough
to make me feel like a man in love
Words are not enough
to make me feel like a man in love
We need eachother its easy to see
You know I'm shaking all over thinking how good this could be
You can tell me you need me
And you can tell me you're mine
But when you're in my arms
The words starts spinning and we lose all track of time
Chorus

Ambush (Mark Lindsay)
Ambush
Composer(s): Robert Irving - Mark Lindsay
Performer(s): Mark Lindsay
You thundered in -- all your sabers were blazing
Fired your guns in a mighty barrage
Under a full moon I fell by the water
As you rode away with your cold entourage
I cried for peace but your eyes filled with venom
A drop fell between us -- it drove us apart
I was racing the wind singing songs with my brothers
Your Winchester bullet went straight through my heart
Oh... oh... -- take me to my hunting ground
Oh... oh... -- wheel is turning 'round
Oh... oh... -- waiting for the buffalo
Pounding like drums on the ground
It's been so long since I swam Crooked River
Running the banks chasing clouds in the sky
Watching the salmon charge up through the rapids
Fighting to spawn and to die
The prairies are gone and the forests have fallen
A river of tears flows away to the sea
I lie with my pony 'neath ground that God gave me
An arrowhead marker for all eyes to see
Oh... oh... -- take me to my hunting ground
Oh... oh... -- wheel is turning 'round
Oh... oh... -- waiting for the buffalo
Pounding like drums on the ground
Fish cannot fly over dams in the river
Ravens are dark in the sky
Oh... oh... -- take me to my hunting ground
Wheel of weeping slowly turns around
Now I'm sleeping waiting for the buffalo
Pounding like drums on the ground
Oh... oh... -- take me to my hunting ground
Oh... oh... -- wheel is turning 'round
Oh... oh... -- waiting for the buffalo
Pounding like drums on the ground

Words And Music
Words And Music
Composer(s): Andy Gibb
Performer(s): Andy Gibb
Words and music make a song for our hearts to sing along
Like a choir within the air, there'll be music ev'rywhere
A bitter tear across your cheek
A smile from you is all I need
We'll give them cause to breathe the air
There'll be lovers ev'rywhere
I'll be your singer and your song
for all the love you've brought along
I'll be your day, I'll be your night
I'll see that ev'rything's all right
I'll turn the ocean into sand
Like my heart at your command
I'll make the raindrops turn to snow
And then ev'ryone will know that we're in love
Yeah, yeah, yeah
And when the morning brings it's light
And Mister Moonlight says goodbye
My hand is shaking when you smile
You make me feel just like a child
My mind is searching for a way
so that you won't have to say
You've got to go and can't come back
But I can't think you'd make me sad
I'll be your singer and your song
for all the love you've brought along
I'll be your day, I'll be your night
I'll see that ev'rything's all right
I'll turn the ocean into sand
Like my heart at your command
I'll make the raindrops turn to snow
And then ev'ryone will know that we're in love
(take away the pain in me)
I'll be your singer and your song
(soon you'll see a change in me)
for all the love you've brought along
(what's the point of going on)
I'll be your day, I'll be your night
(the story ends, the feelings gone)
I'll see that ev'rything's all right
I'll turn the ocean into sand
Like my heart at your command
I'll make the raindrops turn to snow
And then ev'ryone will know that we're in love
(the story ends, the feelings gone)
I'll see that ev'rything's all right
I'll turn the ocean into sand
Like my heart at your command
I'll make the raindrops turn to snow
And then ev'ryone will know that we're in love

Ambush (Harry Nilsson)
Ambush
Composer(s): Harry Nilsson
Performer(s): Harry Nilsson
The lamp that lights the way
Is a light from yesterday
The drum which leads the way
Is a sound from yesterday
The road is filled with shadows
Of a million, living leaves
Darkness all around us
And not a friend in sight
We sang a song together
To help us through the night
The song was sung with spirit
But soft, and like a choir
And as the others sang along
Our voices lifted higher
We sang until we reached the bridge
We crossed, then saw the wire
But by the time we stopped the song
The enemy had opened fire
Now, we ain't gonna sing that song no more
Ain't gonna sing that song no more
Just don't pay to sing no more
Especially when you're in a war
A war
Now, this time through
We want everybody to listen to the punchline
All right
All right
All right!
All right!
The song was sung with spirit
But soft and like a choir
But by the time we stopped the song
The enemy had opened fire
Now, we ain't gonna sing that song no more
Ain't gonna sing that song no more
Just don't pay to sing no more
Especially when you're in a war

Words (The Monkees)
Words
Composer(s): Tommy Boyce; Bobby Hart
Performer(s): The Monkees
Girl, don't you know everytime I see you smiling
It hurts so bad, 'cause when I see you, I start crying
I've tried everything to stop, but there's no denying
Falling in love with you, girl, is just like dying
Oh, don't walk away
How, how can I make you stay
Don't turn away
I can still hear you saying those words that never were true
Spoken to help nobody but you
Words with lies inside
But, small enough to hide till your playing was through, ahh
Girl, don't you know we could work it out with talking
You won't turn around or slow down your walking
I've given you everything with a kiss to seal it
You had to get your kicks out of trying to steal it
Now, I'm standing here
Strange, strange voices in my ears
I feel the tears
But, all I can hear are those words that never were true
Spoken to help nobody but you
Words with lies inside
But, small enough to hide till your playing was through, ahh
Now, I'm standing here
Strange, strange voices in my ears
I feel the tears
But, all I can hear are those words that never were true
Spoken to help nobody but you
Words with lies inside
But, small enough to hide till your playing was through
Words that never were true
Spoken to help nobody but you
Words with lies inside
But, small enough to hide till your playing was through
Words that never were true
Just spoken to help nobody but you...

Ambulance Blues
Ambulance Blues
Composer(s): Neil Young
First release by: Neil Young - 1974
Back in the old folky days
The air was magic when we played
The riverboat was rockin' in the rain
Midnight was the time for the raid
Oh, Isabela, proud Isabela
They tore you down and plowed you under
You're only real with your make-up on
How could I see you and stay too long?
All along the Navajo Trail
Burn-outs stub their toes on garbage pails
Waitresses are cryin' in the rain
Will their boyfriends pass this way again?
Oh, Mother Goose, she's on the skids
Sure ain't happy, neither are the kids
She needs someone that she can scream at
And I'm such a heel for makin' her feel so bad
I guess I'll call it sickness gone
It's hard to say the meaning of this song
An ambulance can only go so fast
It's easy to get buried in the past
When you try to make a good thing last
I saw today in the entertainment section
There's room at the top for private detection
To Mom and Dad this just doesn't matter
But it's either that or pay off the kidnapper
So all you critics sit alone
You're no better than me for what you've shown
With your stomach pump and your hook and ladder dreams
We could get together for some scenes
I never knew a man could tell so many lies
He had a different story for every set of eyes
How can he remember who he's talkin' to?
'Cause I know it ain't me, and I hope it isn't you
Well, I'm up in T.O. keepin' jive alive
And out on the corner it's half past five
But the subways are empty
And so are the cafes
Except for the Farmer's Market
And I still can hear him say
You're all just pissin' in the wind
You don't know it but you are
And there ain't nothin' like a friend
Who can tell you you're just pissin' in the wind
I never knew a man could tell so many lies
He had a different story for every set of eyes
How can he remember who he's talking to?
Cause I know it ain't me, and hope it isn't you

Words (Pat Boone)
Words
Performer(s): Pat Boone
Words are easy to be spoken
I know that and so do you
But when I said "I love you, Darling"
Every word of it was true
Fancy words, I've never used them
Since I met you from the start
Plain old simple words are better
They come directly from the heart
When I take your hand forever
All the chapel bells will chime
Woh-oh-oh-oh, we will say I do together
And with these words, I'll make you mine
(With these words)

Ambitious
Ambitious
Composer(s): Nile Rodgers
Performer(s): Jeff Beck
Here is a rich boy, a bit of a brat
To him life's just a fling
Phi Beta Kappa and first in his class
He's treated just like a king
And he says, "I'm not sure what it is I must have
so I guess I'll just take everything"
He's just ambitious
He's not a bad man
He's just ambitious
He's not a bad man
Just ambitious
Whooah, yeah!
Just ambitious
Here is a young girl, born down and out
Locked up in jail when she was ten
Now in the courtroom, she's got a bit of doubt
Sits on the judge side of the bench
She's just ambitious
She's not a bad girl
She's just ambitious
She's not a bad girl
Just ambitious
Whooah, yeah!
Just ambitious
Here is a wild man who thirsts for a fight
And his cool streak gets him by
All these four-letter words in his mind
Here is a man who'll survive
He's just ambitious
He's just a wild man
He's just ambitious
He's just a wild man
Just ambitious
Whooah, yeah!
Just ambitious
Here is a wild man who thirsts for a fight
Just ambitious
Always a four-letter word in his mind
Just ambitious
Don't you know, I'm just ambitious
I'm not a bad man, just ambitious
I'm not a bad man, just ambitious
Whooah, yeah!
Just ambitious
I'm not a bad man, just ambitious
I'm not a bad man, just ambitious
I'm not a bad man, just ambitious

Originally performed by: Bee Gees
Covered by various other artists
Smile an everlasting smile
A smile could bring you near to me
Don't ever let me find you gone
'Cause that would bring a tear to me
This world has lost its glory
Let's start a brand new story
Now my love right now there'll be
No other time and I can show you
How my love
Talk in everlasting words
And dedicate them all to me
And I will give you all my life
I'm here if you should call to me
You think that I don't even mean
A single word I say
It's only words, and words are all
I have to take your heart away
You think that I don't even mean
A single word I say
It's only words, and words are all
I have to take your heart away
It's only words, and words are all
I have to take your heart away

Amber Tresses (Tied In Blue)
Amber Tresses (Tied In Blue)
Composer(s): A.P. Carter
Performer(s): Flatt & Scruggs
Far away in sunny mountains
Where the merry sunbeams play
There I wandered thru the clover
Singing to a village maid
She was dearer than the dearest
Ever loving kind and true
And she wore beneath her bonnet
Amber tresses tied in blue
Fact decreed that we be parted
Ere the leaves of autumn fell
Then two hearts were separated
That had loved each other well
She was all I had to cherish
Every loving king and true
Now I see in every vision
Amber tresses tied in blue

Wop She 'Ad It-Io
Wop She 'Ad It-Io
(Traditional)
Performer(s): The Copper Family
Now once I courted a pretty girl I courted her quite well
Her name was Kitty-mariga Maria and mine was Bobby Wells
One night when I was courting Kit when her father was at home
He said, If I catch you here again I'll tickle your bot-tum
With a wop she 'ad it I tell you I 'ad it O wop she 'ad it-io
O wop she 'ad it I tell you I 'ad it O wop she 'ad it-io
Now Kit and I we did agree a ladder for to bring
We placed it under the window and by gum, it was just the thing
We laughed and chattered and chattered and talked when all at once, by gum
My foot slipped through the ladder and I fell and cut my bot-tum
With a wop she 'ad it I tell you I 'ad it O wop she 'ad it-io
O wop she 'ad it I tell you I 'ad it O wop she 'ad it-io
They wheeled me home in a wheelbarrow they wheeled me home with care
And when I got to the farmyard gate, oh, didn't the old folks stare
My brother Jim came running out and said what have you done
I've been a-courting Kit, said I, and fell and cut my bot-tum
With a wop she 'ad it I tell you I 'ad it O wop she 'ad it-io
O wop she 'ad it I tell you I 'ad it O wop she 'ad it-io
They took me to the doctor's and there I showed my case
And didn't they do a grin when I showed 'em my Sunday face
They thought I was making a fool of them, but a fool of them, by gum
I thought they were making a fool of me when they turpentined my bum
With a wop she 'ad it I tell you I 'ad it O wop she 'ad it-io
O wop she 'ad it I tell you I 'ad it O wop she 'ad it-io
Now Kit and I we did agree for to get wed
She made me a sling to put my bum in and through it I cocked my leg
As we were walking down the street the kids did shout, by gum
There goes the man with his bum in a sling that fell and cut his bot-tum
With a wop she 'ad it I tell you I 'ad it O wop she 'ad it-io
O wop she 'ad it I tell you I 'ad it O wop she 'ad it-io

Amber Cascades
Amber Cascades
Composer(s): Dewey Bunnell
Performer(s): America
Amber cascades all over today
Then we walk on a crooked catwalk
Only to be delayed
Bubbles of blue burst into two
Eaten up by the incoming tide
Of the new
Then we call to the man who walks on the water
We talk of a plan to stop all the slaughter in view
It's in view
Granite charades are played in the rain
Till we fall through a sand castle window
To avoid the pain
Summer canoe paddles up to you
'cause it's time for another beer run
Or something that's equally true
Then we call to the man who walks on the water
We talk of a plan to stop all the slaughter in view
Then we call to the man who walks on the water
We talk of a plan to stop all the slaughter in view
It's in view

Ambar Violeta
Ambar Violeta
Composer(s): Fito Páez
Performer(s): Fito Páez; Elena Roger
Rayos del sol a la hora del sol
Ella estaba en cualquiera
En cualquier estación esperando una fatalidad
o un llamado del cielo
Siente un mareo de baja presión
Por lo menos le queda ese poco de humor
¿Para qué? si una pasa buscando
y perdiendo certezas
Solo cuando se va
Solo cuando no está en esto, amor
Le hace bien
Meterse en su laberinto carrousel
Le hace bien
Nada está aquí ni mejor ni peor
Solamente sus ojos cambian de color
A una hora del día
Se tiñen de un ámbar violeta
Nadie ni nadie la vio
Ahora tiene un gran cuerno bajo el corazón
Y se escapa de todos los hombres
Que quieren tenerla
Solo cuando se va
Solo cuando no está en esto amor

Woody's Rag/Hard Work
Woody's Rag/Hard Work
Composer(s): Woody Guthrie
Performer(s): Arlo Guthrie
While we're on the subject of hard work
I just wanted to say that I always was a man to work
I was born working and I worked my way up by hard work
I ain't never got nowhere yet but I got there by hard work
Work of the hardest kind
I been down and I been out and I've been busted, disgusted and couldn't be trusted
I worked my way up and I worked my way down
I've been drunk and I've been sober
I've had hard times and I got hijacked and been robbed for cash and robbed on credit
Worked my way into jail and outta jail and I woke up
a lotta mornings and I didn't even know where I was at
But the hardest work I ever done is when I was trying
to get myself a worried woman to ease my worried mind
Now I'm gonna tell you just about how much hard
work I had to do to get this here woman that I'm a-tellin' you about
I shook hands with 97 of her kinfolks and her blood
relatives and I done the same with 86 people that was
just her friends and her neighbors
Kissed 73 babies and put dry pants on 34 of 'em, as well
as others, and done the When thing several times, as well
as a lot of other things just about like this
I held 125 head of wild horses, put saddles and bridles
on more than that, harnessed some of the craziest
wildest teams in the whole country. I rode 14 loco
broncos to a dead standstill and let 42 hound dogs lick me all over
7 times I was bit by hungry dogs and I was chewed
all to pieces by water moccasins and rattlesnakes on
2 separate river bottoms
I chopped and I carried 314 arm loads of stoved wood
100 buckets of coal, and I carried a gallon of
kerosene 18 miles and lost a good pair of shoes in a mud hole
And I chopped and I weeded 48 rows of short cotton
13 acres of bad corn and cut the sticker weeds out of
11 back yards, all on account a 'cause I wanted to
show her that I was a man and I liked to work
I cleaned out 9 barnloads, and cranked 31 automobiles
all makes and models, pulled 3 cars out of mud
holes and 4 out of snowdrifts
I dug 5 cisterns of water for some of her friends and
neighbors and run all kinds of errands
I played the fiddle for 9 church meetings and I joined
11 separate denominations. I signed up and joined
up for 7 of the best trade unions I could find and paid
my dues about 6 weeks ahead of time, waded 40
miles of swamps, 60 big rivers, walked across 2
mountain ranges and crossed 3 deserts
I got the fever and I got the sun stroke and I got the
malaria and I got the flu and I got moonstruck and
skeeter bit, the poison ivy and the 7 year itch and the blind staggers
I was given up for lost and dead about 2 dozen times
Struck by lightning, struck by Congress, struck
by friends and kinfolks, as well as by 3 cars on
the highways and a lotta times in peoples' henhouses
I been hit and run down and run over and
walked on and knocked around and I'm just
settin' here now trying to study up what else I
can do to show that woman that I still ain't afraid of hard work
