Would Jesus Wear A Rolex
Would Jesus Wear A Rolex
Composer(s): Margaret Archer; Chet Atkins
Performer(s): Ray Stevens
Woke up this mornin' turned on my TV set
There in livin' color was somethin' I can't forget
This man was preachin' at me.. yeah.. layin' on the charm
Asking me for 20 with 10,000 on his arm
He wore designer clothing and a big smile on his face
Selling me salvation while they sang Amazing Grace
Asking me for money when he had all the signs of weath
Almost wrote a check out.. yeah.. but then I asked myself…
Would He wear a pinky ring, would He drive a fancy car
Would His wife wear furs and diamonds, would His dressing room have a star
If he came back tomorrow there's something I'd like to know
Would Jesus wear a rolex on His television show
Would Jesus be political if he came back to earth
Have his second home in Palm Springs.. yeah.. but try to hide his worth
Take money from those poor folks when He comes back again
And admit He's talked to all those preachers who said they'd been-a talking to Him
Would He wear a pinky ring, would He drive a fancy car
Would His wife wear furs and diamonds, would His dressing room have a star
If he came back tomorrow there's something I'd like to know
Could ya tell me - Would Jesus wear a rolex
Would Jesus wear a rolex
Would Jesus wear a rolex on His television show
Would Jesus wear a rolex on His television show

Would I Lie To You?
Would I Lie To You?
Composer(s): Annie Lennox; David A. Stewart
Originally performed and made famous by: Eurythmics
Would I lie to you?
Would I lie to you honey?
Now would I say something that wasn't true?
I'm asking you sugar
Would I lie to you?
My friends - know what's in store
I won't be here anymore
I've packed my bags
I've cleaned the floor
Watch me walkin'
Walkin' out the door
(Believe me - I'll make it make it)
Tell you straight - no intervention
To your face - no deception
You're the biggest fake
That much is true
Had all I can take
Now I'm leaving you
(Believe me - I'll make it make it)
(Chorus)
(Watch me - watch me! Ooh yea)

From the movie "The Little Princess" (1939)
Composer(s): Albert Chevalier; Charles Ingle
Originally performed by: Shirley Temple
Covered by various other artists
Last week down our alley came a toff
Nice old geezer with a nasty cough
Sees my missus, takes his topper off
In a very gentlemanly way
"Wot cher!" all the neighbors cried
"Who yer gonna meet, Bill
Have yer bought the street, Bill"?
Laugh! I thought I should've died
Knocked 'em in the Old Kent Road
Ev'ry evenin' at the stroke of five
Me and the missus takes a little drive
You'd say, "Wonderful they're still alive"
If you saw that little donkey go
When we starts the blessed donkey stops
He won't move, so out I quickly lops
Pals start whackin' him, when down he drops
Someone says he wasn't made to go
"Wot cher!" all the neighbors cried
"Who yer gonna meet, Bill
Have yer bought the street, Bill"?
Laugh! I thought I should've died
Knocked 'em in the Old Kent Road

Composer(s): Ray Burns; Captain Sensible
Originally performed by: Captain Sensible
Covered by: Lismore
When I woke up this morning I was feelin' fine
But this cat starts banging man what a swine
So I called reception but to no avail
That's why I'm telling you this sorry tale
It went bang - I said shut up
It went bang - I said rap up
Well I'm aware that the guy must do his work
But the piledriver man drove me berserk
He said captain
I said wot
He said captain
I said wot
He said captain
I said wot
He said captain
I said wot d'ya want
Once a lifetime
twice a day
If you don't work you get no pay
I been to the east
I been to the west
But the girls I like best are the ones undressed
Well
hello Adam
where you been?
I said a'stand aside 'cause I'm feelin' mean
I've had a gutful of you and I'm feelin' bad
'Cause you're an ugly old pirate and ain't I glad
He said captain
I said wot
He said captain
I said wot

Du bist für mich wie die sonne chérie
Du gibst mir das leben
Nur immer worte nichts als das, das alte lied
Wie soll ich es dir nur erklären
Sag mir nichts mehr
Du bist die göttin der liebe und ich bete dich an
Schon wieder worte schmeichelei rederei
Mein morgen mein gestern
Das ist vorbei
Du bist für immer meine grol3e Liebe
Es ist vorbei der traum zu ende auch
Die erinnerung für uns zwei
Wie schön sie auch sei
Du bist wie der wind der den klang der geigen und
Den duft der rosen weit mit sich tragt
Süsse worte leere rederei
Was willst du damit sagen
Schenk sie einer andern, die den wind liebt und rosen und geigen
Die noch nicht weiss, dass es gut ist zu schweigen
zärtliche worte von Liebe und schmerz, sie gehn in mein ohr
Doch nimmer in mein herz
Ein wort noch
Worte, nur Worte, nur Worte
Bitte hör doch
Worte, nur Worte, nur Worte
Alles wird anders
Worte, nur Worte, nur Worte
So glaube mir
Worte, nur Worte, nur Worte, nur Worte
Die worte die du da redest will nicht mal der wind
Es ist mein schicksal bei dir zu bleiben dich zu lieben ... für immer
Immer nur worte nichts als das das alte lied
Könntest du mich nar verstchen
Sag mir nichts mehr
Würdest du mir nur zuhören
Die stimme lügt das wort betrügt es klingt so fahl
Du verfolgst mich im traum
Du bist ein narr
Du tust mir weh was bin ich ohne dich
Nun schweig einmal so halt doch ein
Du redest wie ein wasserfall als wärst du allein
Du bist der himmel der in mein dunkel das helle Licht der sterne trägt
Susse Worte das alte lied
Wenn es dich nicht gäbe, man mül3te dich erfinden
Danke nicht für mich doch bitteschön versuch's bei einer andern
Bei der die sterne auch am himmel tanzen
Zärtliche worte von liebe und schmerz sie gehn in mein ohr
Doch nimmer in mein herz
Ein Wort noch ein einziges Wort
Worte, nur Worte, nur Worte!
Bitte hör doch
Worte, nur Worte, nur Worte!
Alles wird anders
Worte, nur Worte, nur Worte!
So glaube mir
Worte, nur Worte, nur Worte, nur Worte!
Die Worte, die du da redest, will nicht mal der wind.
Wie bist du schön !
Worte, nur Worte, nar Worte!
Wie bist du schön !
Worte, nur Worte, nur Worte!
Wie bist du schön !
Worte, nur Worte, nur Worte!
Wie bist du schön !
Worte, nur Worte, nur Worte, nur Worte!
Die Worte, die du da redest, will nicht mal der wind

Worry (Free)
Worry
Composer(s): Paul Rodgers
Performer(s): Free
If it's the cold black night
that's eating up your heart
the cold damp sweat
keep you and sleep apart
The ticking clock
just watching on the table
the wind that howls
as much as it is able
Then worry baby worry
there's a reason for you to
there's a silent, deadly message
in the wind that's meant for you
And the sleeping streets
have closed their tired eyes
The fear that creeps
Will move & slowly rise
your beating heart
will hammer at your breast
your aching brain
will cry aloud for rest
Worry baby worry
there's a reason for you to
there's a silent, deadly message
in the wind that's meant for you
Worry baby worry
there's a reason for you to
there's a silent, deadly message
in the wind that's meant for you

Worried Life Blues
Worried Life Blues
Performer(s): Bessie Smith & James P. Johnson
I lived a life but nothing I've gained
Each day I'm full of sorrow and pain
No one seems enough for poor me
To give me a word of sympathy
Oh me, oh my
Wonder what will the end be
Oh me, oh my
Wonder what will become of poor me
No father to guide, no mother to care
Must bear my troubles all alone
Not even a brother to help me share
This burden I must bear alone
Oh me, oh my
Wonder what will the end be
Oh me, oh my
Wonder what will become of poor me
I'm sittin' and thinkin' of the days gone by
They fills my heart with pain
I'm too weak to stand and too strong to lie
But I'm forgettin' it all in vain
Oh me, oh my
Wonder what will the end be
Oh me, oh my
Wonder what will become of poor me
I've travelled and wandered almost everywhere
To get a little joy from life
Still I've gained but worries and despair
Still struggling in this world of strife
Oh me, oh my
Wonder what will the end be
Oh me, oh my
Wonder what will become of poor me

Worried
Composer(s): Marty Robbins
Performer(s): Marty Robbins
Worried, yes I'm worried
Because she just told me goodbye
Tell me what on earth am I to do
Worried, yes I'm worried
Because she just walked out on me
Worried, disapointed, sad and blue
I feel just like I wanna die
I know I've got a right to cry
Lovin' her is all I want to do
Worried, yes I'm worried
And I've got a right to be
She means more than this whole wide world to me
I feel just like I wanna die
I know I've got a right to cry
Lovin' her is all I want to do
Worried, yes I'm worried
And I've got a right to be
She means more than this whole wide world to me

Worn Down Piano
Worn Down Piano
Originally performed by: Mark & Clark Band
Each Tuesday morning, they'd all stand in line
the auction would open promptly at nine
The gavel came down on the auctioneer's block
and the bidding began on a grandfather's clock
Next up for bids in the rear of the room
a piano worn down and a bit out of tune.
Who'll start the bidding?, the auctioneer cried
No voices rang out, so just put it aside
Shouts filled the room and the auction went on
when the cries of the crowd were stopped by a song
Everyone turned to the rear of the room
to that worn down piano, a bit out of tune
Oh the days long ago when the crowds came around
to hear that piano ring out with sound
but the crowds have all gone and the symphony's through
and the piano cries out: 'let me play once for you'
A man with a torn coat and a hole in one shoe
sat playing the song that nobody knew
The music rang out and that song filled the room
from that worn down piano, a bit out of tune
Then from the crowd a man shouted a bid
One thousand dollars for that piano I'll give
Two thousand, Three thousand, and the bidding went on
as the man in the torn coat kept playing that song
The bidding grew tense each bid more and more
'til the five thousand figure rang out from the floor
the man in the torn coat just sat there and stared
playing that song as if no-one were there
Oh the days long ago when the crowds came around
to hear that piano ring out with sound
but the crowds have all gone and the symphony's through
and the piano cries out: let me play once for you
The man in the torn coat played as if to say
I too want you, piano but I've nothing to pay
I'd give all I own if you could be mine
but all I can bid is this bottle of wine
The sound of the gavel rang out through the air
the auctioneer cried: Top that bid if you dare
Just give him the piano, maestro play on
but where has the man, in the torn coat gone?
It's a quarter past five and the bidding is done
everything's sold and now leave one by one
The auction is over and left in that room
is that worn down piano, still a bit out of tune
Oh the days long ago when the crowds came around
to hear that piano ring out with sound
but the crowds have all gone and the symphony's through
and the piano cries out: let me once play for you

Worms
Worms
Nobody likes me, everybody hates me
Think I'll go and eat worms
Long thin skinny ones
Big fat juicy ones
See how they wriggle and squirm
Bite their heads off
Suck their blood out
Throw their skins away
Nobody knows how much I thrive
On worms three times a day
Long thin skinny ones slip down easily
Big fat juicy ones stick
Hold your head back
Squeeze their tail
And their juice just goes drip, drip

I need somebody to help me thru the night

World On A String
World On A String
Composer(s): Neil Young
Originally performed by: Neil Young
Covered by: Nils Lofgren
You know I lose, you know I win
you know I call for the shape I'm in
It's just a game you see me play
only real in the way that I feel from day to day
Although the answer is not unknown
I'm searchin', searchin', and how I've grown
It's not all right to say goodbye
and the world on a string doesn't mean a thing
No, the world on a string doesn't mean a thing
It's only real in the way that I feel from day to day
Day to day

World Of Pain
World Of Pain
Composer(s): Gail Collins; Felix Pappalardi
Performer(s): Cream; Masaki Batoh
Outside my window is a tree
Outside my window is a tree
There only for me
And it stands in the gray of the city
No time for pity for the tree or me
There is a world of pain
In the falling rain
Around me
Is there a reason for today?
Is there a reason for today?
Do you remember?
I can hear all the cries of the city
No time for pity for a growing tree

World In Flames
World In Flames
Spanish Title: Mundo En Llamas
Performer(s): Pedro Aznar
When your heart breaks up and you see only darkness
When you no longer have any will or strength to go on
When everything becomes a farce that you don't care to decipher
Sinking in front of a beach
with no lighthouse, no home, no final destination
Walking amidst a thousand faces, between unspoken words
The same doubt in their throats: how did they get here
Everyone carries a shadow that they wish weren't there
The pain that names everyone
worse than loneliness is to lose humanity
How to live in a world in flames
without having your heart turn to ice
How to write a new plot
Feeling that as your life pulses, it lives in me
When we no longer find anything or anyone else to conquer
and our hunger, still dissatisfied, has nothing left to devastate
To tie ourselves to the past, we need only remember
but the future is more cumbersome
and today is the time to think what kind of tomorrow will come
How to live in a world in flames
without having your heart turn to ice
How to write more than just tragedy
Feeling that as my life pulses, it lives in you

World Away From Me
World Away From Me
Composer(s): Woody Guthrie
Performer(s): Arlo Guthrie
I've been keeping on the run
I've been traveling with the sun
I've been singing all my life and getting by
Got to keep up with what's goung on
In this place I've been so long
And I guess I'll just keep singing all my life
And it's so good to come home
To a woman all alone
Forgeting how hnd loneliness can be
She will take me from this world
Then she'll gently take the world away from me
l'll be coming home at night
While the kids are sleeping tight
She'll be lit by firelight and looking fine
And the kids jump out of bed
Hello Daddy, what did you get
Did you think of anything on down the line
She'll be talking with her smile
Saying, honey, wait awhile
The kids have missed you, soon they'll be asleep
She will take me from this world
Then she'll gently take the world away from me
Oh the prophets and the sages
And the wise men through the ages
All that's written down on pages from above
Just can't adequately describe
What I'm feeling here inside
It's just useless to be living without love
And I'll take her by her hand
Just a woman and a man
Without trying to understand what we should be
She will take me from this world
Then she'll gently take the world away from me

(Chorus)
Now, I found, that the world is round
and of course it rains everyday
Living tomorrow, where in the world will I be tomorrow?
How far am I able to see?
Or am I needed here?
(chorus)
If I remember all of the things I have done
I'd remember all of the times I've gone wrong
Why do they keep me here?
(chorus)
And (chorus)
And (chorus)

Working On The Road
Working On The Road
Composer(s): Alvin Lee
Performer(s): Ten Years After
I've been working on the road about fifteen years
Been blowing my mind, I've been blasting my ears
Don't you know, babe?
I've been sleeping all day and working all night
I made a lot of money, but it don't feel right
Don't you know, babe?
Well, I've seen the world and it's seen me
In a strange kind of way I guess I'm free
Don't you know, babe?
Well, I've seen it bad and I've seen it good
But, now, I want to clear my blood
Don't you know, babe?
I've got a feeling for home
Somewhere that I call my own
Well, I tried to live the way I should
I've shed some tears and sweated blood
Don't you know, babe?
And I think it's time I took a break
'Cause I have took all I can take
Don't you know, babe?
I've got a feeling for home
Somewhere that I call my own
Take me home, babe
