At The Crossroads
At The Crossroads
Composer(s): Doug Sahm
First release by: Sir Douglas Quintet - 1969
Leaving me girl and moving on down the road
You left me many burdens such a heavy load
And it sure does bring me out when I think about what went down
Well the crossroads all my life it has been
And I'm so afraid but now I'm trying to see
I just rode on through life till I took the time to concentrate on you
Well you can preached me like a lesson
You can bring me a lot of gold
But you just can't live in Texas
If you don't have a lot of soul
I'm leaving here tonight for the very last time
Yes I'm leaving you babe 'cause now I know that you ain't mine
And where you're living now you'll find out and how that you never had a friend
Well you can preached me like a lesson
You can bring me a lot of gold
But you just can't live in Texas
If you don't have a lot of soul
Well I'm leaving here tonight for the very last time
Yes I'm leaving you girl 'cause now I know that you ain't mine
Some day a change will come and you'll be there beside me one more time
One more time
Yeah!
And you'll be there beside me
One more time
Yes you'll be there beside me
One more time

Dogs
Dogs
Composer(s): David Gilmour - Roger Waters
First release by: Pink Floyd - 1977
You gotta be crazy, you gotta have a real need
You gotta sleep on your toes, and when you're on the street
You gotta be able to pick out the easy meat with your eyes closed
And then moving in silently, down wind and out of sight
You gotta strike when the moment is right without thinking
And after a while, you can work on points for style
Like the club tie, and the firm handshake
A certain look in the eye, and an easy smile
You have to be trusted by the people that you lie to
So that when they turn their backs on you
You'll get the chance to put the knife in
You gotta keep one eye looking over your shoulder
You know it's going to get harder, and harder, and harder as you get older
And in the end you'll pack, fly down south
Hide your head in the sand
Just another sad old man
All alone and dying of cancer
And when you loose control, you'll reap the harvest that you've sown
And as the fear grows, the bad blood slows and turns to stone
And it's too late to loose the weight you used to need to throw around
So have a good drown, as you go down alone
Dragged down by the stone
I gotta admit that I'm a little bit confused
Sometimes it seems to me as if I'm just being used
Gotta stay awake, gotta try and shake of this creeping malaise
If I don't stand my own ground, how can I find my way out of this maze?
Deaf, dumb, and blind, you just keep on pretending
That everyone's expendable and no-one had a real friend
And it seems to you the thing to do would be to isolate the winner
And you believe at heart, everyone's a killer
Who was born in a house full of pain
Who was trained not to spit in the fan
Who was told what to do by the man
Who was broken by trained personnel
Who was fitted with collar and chain
Who was given a seat in the stand
Who was breaking away from the pack
Who was only a stranger at home
Who was ground down in the end
Who was found dead on the phone
Who was dragged down by the stone

At The Codfish Ball
At The Codfish Ball
Composer(s): Lew Pollack - Sidney D. Mitchell
Performer(s): Shirley Temple
Next Friday night you're all invited
To dance from eight to five
All the fishes still alive are havin' a ball
It's some affair, they'll all be there, from the Herring to the Whale
They'll turn out to shake a scale in Neptune's Hall!
Come along and follow me to the bottom of the sea
We'll join in the jamboree at the Codfish Ball
Lobsters dancing in a row, shuffle off to Buffalo
Jellyfish sway to and fro at the Codfish Ball
Fin and Haddie lead the Eels through an Irish reel
The Catfish is a dandy man
But he can't Can Can like the Sardine can!
Tunas truckin' left and right, Minnie's moochin', what a night!
There won't be a hook in sight at the Codfish Ball!
Each Red Snapper's looking dapper, dressed up to the gills
The octopuses all have fun
As they wait to see all the grunion run!
Tunas struttin' left and right, Minnie's moochin', such delight
There won't be a hook in sight at the Codfish Ball!
Chorus 2: At the bottom of the sea everyone is family
Come and join this jamboree called the Codfish Ball
All the Swordfish love to play
Every clam is here today
To shell-a-brate this holiday at the Codfish Ball
Shark and Salmon play backgammon till the break of day
And each Seahorse is here of course, this is the place where the plaice all play!
So come along and follow me to the bottom of the sea
We'll join in the jamboree at the Codfish Ball
At the Codfish Ball
At the Cod - fish Ball!

Doggone, I've Done It
Doggone, I've Done It
Composer(s): Dave Franklin
Performer(s): Boswell Sisters
Doggone I’ve done it, I’ve fallen in love
Doggone, it hit me from heaven up above
The day I met him, my, I knew I was gone
My heart went kerplunk oh, boy I was sunk
Doggone I’ve done it, I fell with a thud
It must be springtime ‘cos it’s in my blood
Mr. Cupid sneaked behind and gave me a shove
Doggone I’ve done it, I’ve fallen in love, oh you dove!
I don’t use strong expressions
I’m known for my repression
Nobody ever heard me swear
But something’s gone and changed me
It’s really disarranged me
I’m cuttin’ loose and I don’t care
Doggone I’ve done it, I’ve fallen in love
Doggone, it hit me from heaven above
The day I met him I just knew I was gone
Heart went kerplunk, oh boy I was sunk
Doggone I’ve done it, I fell with a thud
It must be springtime ‘cos it’s in my blood
Mr. Cupid sneaked behind and gave me a shove
Doggone I’ve done it, I’ve fallen in love
Doggone I’ve done it I’ve fallen in love
Doggone, it hit me from heaven above
Day I met him I knew I was gone
Heart went kerplunk, oh boy I was sunk
Doggone I’ve done it I fell with a thud
It must be springtime ‘cos it’s in my blood
Mr. Cupid gave me a shove
Doggone I’ve done it, I’ve fallen in love

We were born to be alive
We were born to be alive
Born, born to be alive
(Won't you be alive)
You see you were born
Born, born
(Born to be alive)
People ask me why
I never find a place to stop
And settle down, down, down
But I never wanted all those things
People need to justify
Their lives, lives, lives
You see you were
Born, born, born to be alive
(Born to be alive)
You see you were
Born, born, born
(Born to be alive)
It's good to be alive
To be alive
To be alive
It's good to be alive
To be alive
To be alive
It's good to be alive
Time was on my side
When I was running down the street
It was so fine, fine, fine
A suitcase and an old guitar
And something new to occupy
My mind, mind, mind
You see you were born, born
Born to be alive
(Born to be alive)
You see you were born, born, born
(Born to be alive)
You see you were born, born
Born to be alive
(Born to be alive)
You see you were born, born, born
(Born to be alive)
You see you were born, born
Born to be alive
(Born to be alive)
You see you were born, born, born
(To be alive)
Born, born to be alive
(Born to be alive)
You see you were born, born, born
(Born to be alive)
Born, born to be alive

Doggone, My Dog's Gone
That Doggone Dog I Own Is Gone From Me
Doggone, My Dog's Gone

The Local Hounds Will Have His Service Free
Doggone, My Dog's Gone
That Doggone Dog I Own Is Gone From Me
Doggone, My Dog's Gone

Doggone, My Dog's Gone
That Doggone Dog I Own Is Gone From Me
Doggone, My Dog's Gone
And His Value Is Declining Rapidly

You'd better stop, yeah, doooogin' around

Yes, put you down
I don't wanna do it
But I'll have to put you down...
I love you, baby
But I'll still have to put you down

At The Chime Of A City Clock
At The Chime Of A City Clock
Composer(s): Nick Drake
First release by: Nick Drake - 1970
A city freeze
Get on your knees
Pray for warmth and green paper
A city drought
You're down and out
See your trousers don't taper
Saddle up
Kick your feet
Ride the range of a london street
Travel to a local plane
Turn around and come back again
And at the chime of the city clock
Put up your road block
Hang on to your crown
For a stone in a tin can
Is wealth to the city man
Who leaves his armour down
Stay indoors
Beneath the floors
Talk with neighbours only
The games you play
Make people say
You're either weird or lonely
A city star
Won't shine too far
On account of the way you are
And the beads
Around your face
Make you sure to fit back in plac
And at the beat of the city drum
See how your friends come in twos
Or threes or more
For the sound of a busy place
Is fine for a pretty face
Who knows what a face is for
The city clown
Will soon fall down
Without a face to hide in
And he will lose
If he won't choose
The one he may confide in
Sonny boy
With smokes for sale
Went to ground with a face so pale
And never heard
About the change
Showed his hand and fell out of range
In the light of a city square
Find out the face that's fair
Keep it by your side.
When the light of the city falls
You fly to the city walls
Take off with your bride
But at the chime of a city clock
Put up your road block
Hang on to your crown
For a stone in a tin can
Is wealth to the city man
Who leaves his armour down

The Tattooed Lady (The Kingston Trio)
The Tattooed Lady
Composer(s): Dave Guard - Nick Reynolds - Bob Shane
Performer(s): The Kingston Trio; Jethro Burns
We came to town to see
That old tattooed lady
She was a sight to see
Tattooed from head to knee
My uncle Ned was there
He came to gape and stare
"I've never!" he declared
"Seen such a freak so fair"
And on her jaw
Was the Royal Flying Corp
And on her back was the Union Jack
Now could you ask for more?
All up and down her spine
Marched the Queen's own guards in line
And all around her hips
Sailed a fleet of battleships
And over her left kidney
Was a bird's eye view of Sidney
But what we liked best was upon her chest
My little home in Waikiki! (What did you say?)
We came to town to see
That old tattooed lady
She was a sight to see
Tattooed from head to knee
My uncle Ned was there
He came to gape and stare
"I've never!" he declared
"Seen such a freak so fair"
And on her jaw

And on her back was the Union Jack
Now could you ask for more?
All up and down her spine
Marched the Queen's own guards in line
And all around her hips
Sailed a fleet of battleships
And over her left kidney

My little home in Waikiki! (What did you say?)

Because I Love You (Buddy Holly)
Because I Love You
Performer(s): Buddy Holly
Well they say what you don't know won't hurt you
And I believe that it's so
So don't tell me that you found someone new
To go thru life with you
Because I love you my darling, my dearest I love you
You're the one I want nearest, may I love you
And I will bet you love me too
Oh, I'd rather die thinking you love me
Than to go on thru life without you
And you with someone new
To go thru life with you
Well, because I love you, I love you, my darling
My dearest I love you, I love you
You're the one I want nearest, may I love you, I love you
And I will bet you love me too
Oh, I'd rather die thinking you love me
Than to go on thru life without you
And you with someone new
To go thru life with you

Dog And Butterfly
Dog And Butterfly
Composer(s): Ann Wilson - Nancy Wilson - Sue Ennis
Performer(s): Heart; Kat Zotos
There I was with the old man
stranded again, so off I'd ran
A young world crashing around me
no possibilities of getting what I need
He looked at me and smiled
said, "No no no no no child"
See the dog and butterfly
Up in the air he like to fly
Dog and butterfly
Below she had to try
She roll back down to the warm soft ground
Laughing, she don't know why
She don't know why
Dog and butterfly
Well I stumbled upon your secret place
Safe in the trees you had tears on your face
Wrestling with your desires
frozen strangers stealing your fires
The message hit my mind
Only words that I could find
See the dog and butterfly
Up in the air he like to fly
Dog and butterfly
Below she had to try
She roll back down to the warm soft ground
Laughing to the sky
Up to the sky
Dog and butterfly
We're getting older
the world's getting colder
For the life of me
I don't know the reason why
Maybe it's living, making us give in
Hearts rolling in, taken back on the tide
We're balanced together, ocean upon the sky
Another night in a strange town
Moonlight holding me light as down
Voice of confusion inside of me
begging to go back where I'm free
Feels like I'm through
Then the old man's words are true
See the dog and butterfly
Up in the air he like to fly
Dog and butterfly
Below she had to try
She roll back down to the warm soft ground
with a little tear in her eye
She had to try...she had to try
Dog and butterfly

At The Ball, That's All
Composer(s): T. Marvin Hatley
Performer(s): Laurel & Hardy & The Avalon Boys
Commence advancin', commence advancin'
Just start a prancin', right and left a-glancin'
A moochee dancin', slide and glide entrancin'
You do the tango jiggle
With a Texas Tommy wiggle
Take your partner, and you hold her
Lightly enfold her, a little bolder
Just work your shoulder
Snap your fingers one and all, in the hall
At the ball, that's all, some ball

Doesn't Somebody Want To Be Wanted
Doesn't Somebody Want To Be Wanted
Composer(s): Mike Appel - Jim Cretecos - Wes Farrell
Performer(s): The Partridge Family
I go downtown and roam all around
But every street I walk I find another dead end
I'm on my own but I'm so all alone
I need somebody so I won't have to pretend
I know there's someone just waiting somewhere
I look around for her but she's just not there
Oh doesn't somebody want to be wanted like me
Where are you
Doesn't somebody want to be wanted like me
Just like me
I'm running free but I don't want to be
I couldn't take a day like yesterday
I'm dead on my feet from walking the street
I need somebody to help me find my way
I gotta get outta this town (outta this town)
Before I do I'll take a last look around
Oh doesn't somebody want to be wanted like me
Where are you
Doesn't somebody want to be wanted like me
Just like me
You know, I'm no different from anybody else... start and end each night
It gets real lonely when you're by yourself
Now where is love, and who is love
I gotta know
Oh doesn't somebody want to be wanted like me
Where are you
Doesn't somebody want to be wanted like me
Just like me

At The Balalaika
At The Balalaika
Composer(s): George Forrest - Eric Maschwitz - Simon Posford - Herbert Stothart - Robert B. Wright
Performer(s): Nelson Eddy & Jeanette Macdonald
and multiple other artists
When the melancholy shadows fall
My heart is melancholy too
Then I hear the Balalaika's call
And life is gay and bright and new
At the Balalaika
Where there is magic in the sparkling wine
And mellow music in the candles' shine
I have a rendezvous!
At the Balalaika
Who knows what ecstasy tonight may bring
What lovely melody my heart may sing
Before the night is through
I hear a violin, a haunting gypsy violin
And when it sighs its strangely tender song
I know that I belong
At the Balalaika
Oh let me linger there till break of day
Where hearts are young and balalaikas play
I have a rendezvous!
At the Balalaika
Oh let me linger there till break of day
Where hearts are young and balalaikas play
I have a rendezvous!

Doesn't Anybody Stay Together Anymore?
Doesn't Anybody Stay Together Anymore?
Composer(s): Phil Collins - Daryl Stuermer
Performer(s): Phil Collins; Paul D'Adamo
You keep on walking so you don't fall down
It's the same old story
You keep on hiding so you can't be found
It's the same old story
Oh but I know you, you're the one who ran
You know why, it's because you can, oh
It's alright, cos I don't mind
I'm just trying to help, but I wonder why
Doesn't anybody stay together anymore
I wonder why, doesn't anybody stay together anymore
My friends keep falling and they can't get up
It's the same old story
Well one says white and the other one black
It's the same old story
And I don't know why you keep emotions walled up
Your heart's on your sleeve, but your sleeve is rolled up
But it's alright, cos I don't mind
I'm just trying to help, but I wonder why
Doesn't anybody stay together anymore
I wonder why, doesn't anybody stay together anymore
Things can change, from a misunderstanding
Nobody talks, nobody hears, oh oh oh
Makes me wonder why, doesn't anybody stay together anymore
Oh I wonder why, doesn't anybody stay together anymore
You keep on looking for that higher ground
It's the same old story
Your glass is empty and the chips are down
It's the same old story
But I don't know why, your emotions walled up
Your heart's on your sleeve, but your sleeve is rolled up
But it's alright, cos I don't mind
I'm just trying to help, but I wonder why
Doesn't anybody stay together anymore
I wonder why, doesn't anybody stay together anymore
Oh I wonder why, doesn't anybody stay together anymore
