Away From You (Louis Jordan)
Away From You
Composer(s): Rodney Sturgis
Performer(s): Louis Jordan
It made me cry
To say good-bye
I'm sad and blue
Now that you've gone
I can't go on
Away from you
I smile to hide
The tears inside
It's hard to do
My happiness
My life's success
Depends on you
The hours seem long
The world goes wrong
When we're apart
My skies are gray
What can I say
To soothe my heart?
It is the end
I can't pretend
That I'm not blue
Oh, can't you see
Life's misery
Away from you!
The hours are long
The world goes wrong
When we're apart
My skies are gray
What can I say
To soothe my heart?
It is the end
I can't pretend
That I'm not blue
Oh, can't you see
Life's misery
Away from you!
Away from you!

Don't Look Away
Don't Look Away
Composer(s): Pete Townshend
Performer(s): The Who
Don't go and hide
Yesterday you were my girlfiend
If you do
My inside goes around and around in a whirlwind
There's a stone in my shoe
So I can't catch you up
My head's in a lion's mouth
Wants to eat me up
Right here today
Don't look away
I've always been true
And I still love you
So don't look away
There's a lot you can do
To get me away
You've got to stay
Don't look away
Don't look away
I once heard you say
If I ever was down you would help me
Now my head's being chewed up
You pretend that you don't see
There's a stone in my shoe
So I can't catch you up
My head's in a lion's mouth
Wants to eat me up
Right here today
Don't look away
I've always been true
And I still love you
So don't look away
There's a lot you can do
To get me away
You've got to stay
Don't look away
Don't look away
I've always been true
And I still love you
So don't look away
There's a lot you can do
To get me away
You've got to stay
Don't look away
Don't look away
Don't look away
Don't look away
Don't look away

Polly In A Porny
Polly In A Porny
Composer(s): Shel Silverstein
Performer(s): Shel Silverstein
Haha I kissed Polly goodnight
Haha as we stood at her front door
Now she's quite a proper lady
So I didn't ask for anything more
But haha I was feeling oh so groovie
That I went down to the movie
And I sat down and guess just what I saw
I saw Polly in a porny
Down at the dirty flicks
I saw Polly in a porny
I didn't know she knew them tricks
What I seen nearly struck me blind
I never knew she was the artically inclined
I saw Polly in a porny with a pony
And I've nearly blowed my mind
Was she gallopin' (no no no)
Oh was she trottin' (no no no)
Oh was she riding across the country
with some tall dark handsome person
Oh was she wearin' her cowboy hat
Haha well not exactly that
But at least I recall she had her spurs on
I love ol' Polly in a porny
I keep on going back
Yeah in the very last row I'm singin' low
With my coat bouncin' in my lap
Ooh I spend each dime I can afford
I swear she's gonna win an academy award
I saw Polly in a porny with a pony
And the pony seemed a little bored
Ooh oh ride
Polly ride slide
Polly slide

Don't Look At Me That Way
Don't Look At Me That Way
Composer(s): Cole Porter
Performer(s): Irene Bordoni
and multiple other artists
Oh, Im so mad about a lad
It's too deep to express
And when he tries to use his eyes
They have instant success
So full of passion, these pupils are
That girls forget what their scruples are
So when he turns them on me
I murmur tenderly.....
I think you're great, I think you're grand
And I don't mind if you hold my hand
But don't look at me that way
Your kisses, too, are heavenly
And oh, so full of variety
But don't look at me that way
When you tell me sweetly you're mine completely
I always give a long cheer
But those sudden flashes behind your lashes
Are nobody's business, dear
Since you began to play your role
I've lost my heart and I've lost my soul
But as for losing my self-control
Don't look at me that way
I just adore your loving arms
In fact, they're two of your greatest charms
But don't look at me that way
I'm very mild, I'm very meek
My will is strong, but my won't is weak
So don't look at me that way
When that strange expression of indiscretion
Begins to show in your stare
There's a hocus-pocus about your focus
That gives me a terrible scare
I feel a thrill when you arrive
And while you're near I simply thrive
But if you want to get home alive
Don't look at me that way

It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World
It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World
Composer(s): Ernest Gold - Mack David
It's a mad, mad, mad, mad world
In France the girls wear scanties
While on lamb chops they put panties
I'm telling you it's a mad, mad, mad, mad world
A Japanese named Luey
Says the Chinese hate chop suey
Without a doubt
It's a mad, mad, mad, mad world
The only thing you are sure of
Is that nothing is sure
Have a ball, live it up, only fools give it up
Toujours the amour, but toujours
So be a happy gaffer
Be a screamer, be a laugher
Let boys be gay and say, "What the hey"
It's a mad, mad, mad, mad world
My dear old Uncle Herman
Says that French Toast should be German
Jawohl, that's right
It's a mad, mad, mad, mad world
I know it may sound jerky
But in Turkey who eats turkey
Yes, yes, confess
It's a mad, mad, mad, mad world
Out traffic is so congested
Mass confusion on wheels
But Detroit is adroit, what they'll do in Detroit
Is make bigger automobiles
So be a happy fellow
Be a clown, boy, Punchinello
Get off the shelf and enjoy yourself
It's a mad, mad, mad, mad
It's a mad, it's a mad, it's a mad, it's a mad world!

Don't Like Goodbyes
Don't Like Goodbyes
Composer(s): Harold Arlen - Truman Capote
Performer(s): Pearl Bailey
and multiple other artists
Don't like goodbyes, tears or sighs
I'm not too good at leavin' time
I got no taste for grievin' time
No, no, not me
You've been my near one's, always my dear one's
I never thought that I would find
Another love, a diff'rent kind
But it came to be
Well, if you think I'm telling you lies
Go try your luck and look into his eyes
But remember, you must remember he's mine
And my world overhead has a clear new shine
Have I found the answer
Yes, he's the only answer
Guess I won't have to guide him, jus' walk beside him
Can't you see it clearly that I love him dearly
Don't want to leave you, sorry to grieve you
It's trav'lin' time and I must move on
Found the man to lean upon, and if I could arrange it
Oh, would I care to change it
Not me!

Mary's Vineyard
Mary's Vineyard
Composer(s): Wayne Carson Thompson - Bob Wilkins
Performer(s): Claude King
The grapes in Mary's vineyard are the sweetest on the vine
Old man Oscar Dill lived back in the Tennessee hills
He's got him two or three stills and he makes heavy water
Oh I worked for him one time runnin' sour mash across the line
And he warned me to pay no mind to his three daughters
Yeah one was eighteen and one was twenty two one was just my age
One by one I opened the door to the gilded cage (yes I did now)
He don't know and I ain't gonna tell him what I've done one time
Cause he thinks he raised three little angels ah I think that's fine
I made love to his sweet Martha and pretty little Caroline
But the grapes in Mary's vineyard are the sweetest on the vine
Now old man Oscar Dill said he wouldn't hesitate to kill
Anybody messin' round his stills or his three daughters
But even so late at night when the moon wasn't shining too bright
I'd sneaked around get brave all right sippin' his heavy water
Yeah one was eighteen...
I made love to his sweet Martha...

Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me
Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me
Composer(s): Elton John - Bernie Taupin
First release by: Elton John - 1974
Covered by multiple other artists
I can't light no more of your darkness
All my pictures seem to fade to black and white
I'm growing tired and time stands still before me
Frozen here on the ladder of my life
Too late to save myself from falling
I took a chance and changed your way of life
But you misread my meaning when I met you
Closed the door and left me blinded by the light
Don't let the sun go down on me
Although I search myself, it's always someone else I see
I'd just allow a fragment of your life to wander free
But losing everything is like the sun going down on me
I can't find, oh the right romantic line
But see me once and see the way I feel
Don't discard me just because you think I mean you harm
But these cuts I have they need love to help them heal

Away From You
Composer(s): Gerry Marsden - John Chadwick
First release by: Gerry & The Pacemakers - 1963
When I'm away from you
No wonder I feel blue
Without your love (without your love)
Without your charms
Want you in my arms
I dream about you every night
Hopin', waitin' for you to write
Until at last (until at last)
I find, can't get you off my mind
(off my mind, can't get you off my mind)
If you only knew
How my poor heart yearns for you
Then darling you'll be
Ever true and faithful to me
So when I'm by your side
Please remember how I cried
For your love (for your love)
For your charms
Want you in my arms (in my arms, want you in my arms)
If you only knew
How my poor heart yearns for you
Then darling you'll be
Ever true and faithful to me
So when I'm by your side
Please remember how I cried
For your love (for your love)
For your charms
Want you in my arms

But stop your crying when the birds sing
Oh no no no

And it can always come again
So don't let the sun catch you crying
Don't let the sun catch you crying, baby
Tomorrow in the morning light
Everything gonna be all right

Away From The Numbers
Away From The Numbers
Composer(s): Paul Weller
First release by: The Jam - 1977
Things are getting just too cozy for me
I now see people as they see me
Gonna break away and gain control
You free your mind
You free your soul
I was the type who knocked at old men (history's easy)
Who together at tables sit and drink beer (somewhere is really)
Then I saw that I was really the same
So this link's breaking away from the chain
Away from the numbers
Away from the numbers
Is where I'm gonna be
Away from the numbers
Away from the numbers
Is where I am free
Away from the numbers
Away from the numbers
Is where i'm gonna be
I was sick and tired of my little niche
I'm gonna break away and find where life is
And all those fools I thought were my friends
(coaching is easy)
They now stare at me and don't see a thing
(reality's so hard)
Till their life is over and they start to moan
How they never had the chance to make good
Away from the numbers
Away from the numbers
Is where I'm gonna be
Away from the numbers
Away from the numbers
Is where I am free
Is where I am free
Is where I'm gonna be
It's reality
Reality's so hard, reality's so hard, reality's so hard
Reality's so hard, reality's so hard, reality's so hard

Don't Let The Stars Get In Your Eyes
Composer(s): Slim Willet
First release by: Slim Willett and the Brush Cutters - 1952
and multiple other artists
Don't let the stars get in your eyes
Don't let the moon break your heart
Love blooms at night
In the daylight it dies
Don't let the stars get in your eyes
Oh, keep your heart for me
For someday I'll return
And you know you're the only one I'll ever love
Too many nights, too many stars
Too many moons to change your mind
If I'm gone too long don't forget where you belong
When the stars come out remember you are mine
Don't let the stars get in your eyes
Don't let the moon break your heart
Love blooms at night
In the daylight it dies
Don't let the stars get in your eyes
Oh, keep your heart for me
For someday I'll return
And you know you're the only one I'll ever love
Too many miles, too many days
Too many nights to be alone
Ah please keep your heart while we are apart
Don't you linger in the moonlight when I'm gone
Don't let the stars get in your eyes
Don't let the moon break your heart
Love blooms at night
In the daylight it dies
Don't let the stars get in your eyes
Oh, keep your heart for me
For someday I'll return
And you know you're the only one I'll ever love
You're the only one I'll ever love

Away From It All
Away From It All
Performer(s): Graham Gouldman
He was born in a very bad part of town
Where the sun never shone
And the people went round with their heads hung low
There was no work to do nowhere to go
And so he was born to lose
Well he got up one morning and he switched on his TV
There was a whole lot of people
One big happy family
And he knew that's the place he had to be
So he got himself up
He brushed himself down
He read some books and he oiled his brain
He started to work and he started to train
And he knew he'd never be the same again
No more were you born to lose
Hey boy what you gonna do
When there ain't no future here for you
You gotta pick yourself up and pull yourself out
'Cause you know you were born to lose
Now he takes his place as one of the family
All together different colours and lookin' so fine
In the same place and at the same time
'Cause he pulled himself up
And got himself out
He read some books and he oiled his brain
He started to work and he started to train
And he knew he'd never be the same again
No more you were born to lose
Hey boy what you gonna do
When there ain't no future here for you
You gotta pick yourself up and pull yourself out
'Cause you know you were born to lose
Hey boy ...

Away From Home
Away From Home
Performer(s): Stewart Copeland
I finally got away from home
I got apartment of my own
Eccentric posing is allowed
And I can play the music loud
I'm gonna abuse my brand new pad
My lousy manners are O.K.
I finally got away from home
I got apartment of my own
I entertain my rancid date
And she can hang around till late
Oh boy!
Away from home
O-Oh
I got a place of my own
O-Oh
Away from home
O-Oh
I got a place of my own
O-Oh
And I don't have to hide the fumes
So I don't have to clean my room
And I don't have to hide my toys
Won't hide my dealings
Oh Boy
I finally got away from home
I got apartment of my own
Not sure exactly 'bout the rent
My weekly pay won't even dent
Won't hide my dealings
Oh boy Oh Boy!
