Gang Bang
Gang Bang
Performer(s): Alex Harvey
There once was a woman with wings
Happy with the simple things
She had silk suspenders
and high heeled, stocking thighs
Helping me in my need
She was a friend, indeed
She was my baby until the day she died
Ain't nothin' like a gang bang
Ain't nothin' like a gang bang
Ain't nothin' like a gang bang to blow away the blues
(repeat)
She was a woman who was twice my size
She looked into my eyes
She said "Only you can blow my blues away"
She said "I'll tell you what to do
Bring all your friends with you
And you can come up and see me any ol' time of day"
Ain't nothin' like a gang bang
Ain't nothin' like a gang bang
Ain't nothin' like a gang bang to blow away the blues, ahhh
(repeat)
There were twenty-seven guys
An unexpected surprise
She just kept on rockin' 'til the night was gone
She was smilin' through the tears
For a hundred and fifty years
Just lickin' her lips and helpin' me along
Ain't nothin' like a gang bang
Ain't nothin' like a gang bang
Ain't nothin' like a gang bang to blow away the blues

Love Lifted Me
Love Lifted Me
Composer(s): Preston Ross - Howard Smith
Performer(s): Kenny Rogers
I was sinking deep in sin
Far from the peaceful shore
Very deeply stained within
Sinking to rise no more
But the Master of the sea
Heard my despairing cry
From the waters lifted me
Now safe am I
Love lifted me! Love lifted me!
When nothing else could help
Love lifted me
Love lifted me! Love lifted me!
When nothing else could help
Love lifted me
Souls in danger look above
Jesus completely saves
He will lift you by his love
Out of the angry waves
But the master of the sea
Billows His will obey
He your saviour wants to be
Be saved today
Love lifted me! Love lifted me!
When nothing else could help
Love lifted me
Love lifted me! Love lifted me!
When nothing else could help
Love lifted me

Mississippi (John Phillips)
Mississippi
Composer(s): John Phillips
Performer(s): John Phillips
Hit it, Hal
Early in the morning, she hitched a ride down to Louisville
Holding onto a hundred dollar bill
Dressed herself like a Cajun Queen in New Orleans, baby
Yeah, she looked good, like a lady
Do it to me, James
And the Mississippi River runs like molasses in the summertime
And me, you know, I don't hardly mind
Sipping on a beer in Bourbon Street and I'm sitting easy
Don't get me wrong, it takes a lot to please me
Have a seat and take a load off your feet, and she said ´Yes´
So I said, ´I like your dress'
Swamps all around make you feel kind of funny, don't they, honey
She crossed her legs and looked at me funny
Down on the bayou, why, you never know just what you're doing
Down on the bayou, why, you never know just what you're doing (what you're doing)
Down on the bayou, why, you never know just what you're doing
Down on the bayou, why, you never know just what you're doing
Joseph
Early in the morning, she hitched a ride down to Louisville (Louisville)
Holding onto a hundred dollar bill
Dressed herself like a Cajun Queen in New Orleans, baby
Yeah, she looked good, like a lady
And the Mississippi River, it runs like molasses in the summertime
And me, you know, I don't hardly mind
Sipping on a beer in Bourbon Street and I'm sitting easy
Don't get me wrong, it takes a lot to please me
Everybody sing
Down on the bayou, why, you never know just what you're doing (2x)
Have a seat, take a load off your feet, and she said ´Yes´
So I said, ´I like your dress
Swamps all around make you feel kind of funny, don't they, honey
She crossed her legs and looked at me funny
Down on the bayou, why, you never know just what you're doing
Down on the bayou, why, you never know just what you're doing (what you're doing)
Down on the bayou, why, you never know just what you're doing
Down on the bayou, why, you never know just what you're doing (what you're doing)
Down on the bayou, why, you never know just what you're doing

Love Lies Bleeding
Love Lies Bleeding
Composer(s): Elton John - Bernie Taupin
Performer(s): Elton John
The roses in the window box
Have tilted to one side
Everything about this house
Was born to grow and die
Oh it doesn't seem a year ago
To this very day
You said I'm sorry honey
If I don't change the pace
I can't face another day
And love lies bleeding in my hand
Oh it kills me to think of you with another man
I was playing rock and roll and you were just a fan
But my guitar couldn't hold you
So I split the band
Love lies bleeding in my hands
I wonder if those changes
Have left a scar on you
Like all the burning hoops of fire
That you and I passed through
You're a bluebird on a telegraph line
I hope you're happy now
Well if the wind of change comes down your way girl
You'll make it back somehow

Mission In The Rain
Mission In The Rain
Composer(s): Jerry Garcia; Robert Hunter
Performer(s): Jerry Garcia;
Emory Joseph; RatDog
I turn and walk away then I come 'round again
It looks as though tomorrow I'll do pretty much the same
I must turn down your offer but I'd like to ask a break
You know I'm ready to give everything for anything I take
Someone called my name you know I turned around to see
It was midnight in the Mission and the bells were not for me
Come again, walking along in the Mission in the rain
Come again, walking along in the Mission in the rain
Ten years ago, I walked this street my dreams were riding tall
Tonight I would be thankful Lord, for any dream at all
Some folks would be happy just to have one dream come true
But everything you gather is just more that you can lose
Come again, walking along in the Mission in the rain
Come again, walking along in the Mission in the rain
All the things I planned to do I only did half way
Tomorrow will be Sunday born of rainy Saturday
There's some satisfaction in the San Francisco rain
No matter what comes down the Mission always looks the same
Come again, walking along in the Mission in the rain

Games Without Frontiers
Games Without Frontiers
Composer(s): Peter Gabriel
Performer(s): Peter Gabriel; Pop Will Eat Itself
A one, two, one two four
Jeux sans frontières
Jeux sans frontières
Jeux sans frontières
Jeux sans frontières
Hans plays with Lotte, Lotte plays with Jane
Jane plays with Willi, Willi is happy again
Suki plays with Leo, Sacha plays with Britt
Adolf builts a bonfire, Enrico plays with it
Whistling tunes we hide in the dunes by the seaside
Whistling tunes we're kissing baboons in the jungle
It's a knockout
If looks could kill, they probably will
In games without frontiers, war without tears
If looks could kill, they probably will
In games without frontiers, war without tears
Games without frontiers, war without tears
Jeux sans frontières
Jeux sans frontières
Jeux sans frontières
André has a red flag, Chiang Ching's is blue
They all have hills to fly them on except for Lin Tai Yu
Dressing up in costumes, playing silly games
Hiding out in tree-tops shouting out rude names
Whistling tunes we hide in the dunes by the seaside
Whistling tunes we piss on the goons in the jungle
It's a knockout
If looks could kill they probably will
In games without frontiers, war without tears
If looks could kill they probably will
In games without frontiers, war without tears
Games without frontiers, war without tears
Jeux sans frontières (repeat to fade)

Love Letters In The Sand
Love Letters In The Sand
((Danish Version: Breve I Sandet (Gustav Winckler) - 1957))
Composer(s): Nick Kenny - Charles Kenny - J. Fred Coots
First release by: Dolly Dawn - 1931
Covered by multiple other artists
On a day like today
We pass the time away
Writing love letters in the sand
Oh, you laughed when I cried
Each time I saw the tide
Take our love letters in the sand
You made a vow that you would always be true
But somehow, that vow meant nothing to you
Now my poor heart just aches
With every wave that breaks
Over love letters in the sand

Mission Bell
Mission Bell
Composer(s): William Michael; Jesse Hodges
Performer(s): Donnie Brooks;
Gene Pitney; P.J. Proby
Say you love me
Say those three words and
I will give my love to you
My love is higher than a mission bell (how deep?)
Deeper than a wishing well (how strong?)
Stronger than a magic spell
My love, for you
It's wider than the widest sea (how long?)
Longer than a memory (How sweet?)
Sweeter than a honey tree
My love, uhmmm, for you
Give me your heart of gold
Your heavenly magic touch
To cherish have and hold
I need your love so much
Say you love me
Say those three words and
I will give my love to you
My love is warmer than a day in spring (how bright?)
Brighter than a diamond ring (how great?)
Greater than a mighty king
My love, for you
Is taller than the tallest tree (how soft?)
Softer than a summer breeze
Oh I ask you please
Give your love, your love
Sweet love to me
How high (ummm)
How deep (ummm)
How strong (ummm)
How wide (ummm)
How long (ummm)

Gamblin' Man
Gamblin' Man
Composer(s): Woody Guthrie; Lonnie Donegan
Performer(s): Lonnie Donegan
I've gambled down in Washington
And I've gambled up in Maine
I'm going down into Georgia
To knock down my last game
I'm a gamblin' man man man
I'm a gamblin' man
Well I'd not been in Washington
Many more weeks than three
When I fell in love with a pretty little girl
And she fell in love with me
I'm a gamblin' man
I'm a gamblin' man
I'm a gamblin' man man man
I'm a gamblin' man man man
I'm a gamblin' man man man
I'm a gamblin' man
I'm a gamblin' man man man
I'm a gamblin' man man man
I'm a gamblin' man man man
I'm a gamblin' man
She took me in her parlour
Cooled me with her fan
She said oh mother, mother
I'm in love with a gamblin' man
He's a gamblin' man man man
He's a gamblin' man
She said oh daughter, daughter
How could you treat me so
Leave your poor old mother
With that gambler go
He's a gamblin' man man man
He's a gamblin' man
He's a gamblin' man man man
He's a gamblin' man man man
A gamblin' man man man
He's a gamblin' man
He's a gamblin' man man man
He's a gamblin' man man man
He's a gamblin' man man man
He's a gamblin' man
I would not marry a farmer
He's always in the rain
I'd rather marry a gamblin' man
With a gold watch and chain
He's a gamblin' man man man
He's a gamblin' man
And I'd never marry a railroad man
Here's the reason why
I've never known a railroad man
Wouldn't tell his wife a life
He's a gamblin' man man man
He's a gamblin' man
He's a gamblin' man man man
He's a gamblin' man man man
He's a gamblin' man man man
He's a gamblin' man
He's a gamblin' man man man
He's a gamblin' man man man
He's a gamblin' man man man
He's a gamblin' man
How about Jimmy
He's a gamblin' man man man
He's a gamblin' man man man
He's a gamblin' man man man
He's a gamblin' man
How about
I hear that train a-coming
A-coming round the curve
Whistling, a-screaming
straining every nerve
He's a gamblin' man man man
He's a gamblin' man

I memorize every line
And I kiss the name that you sign
And, darling, then I read again right from the start
Love letters straight from your heart
I memorize every line
And I kiss the name that you sign
And, darlin', then I read again right from the start
Love letters straight from your heart

Mi Manchi Tu
Mi Manchi Tu
English Title: Missing You
Performer(s): Paola Turci
(Originally performed by: John Waite)
Non lo sai ma ci sei tu
In fondo a questo cuore
E poi ancora tu la cosa migliore
Che non ritroverò mai più
Così lontano perché
Io che ti vorrei vicino a me
Mi bevo un the
Vaniglia e lacrime
E un sapore di malinconia
È colpa tua o è colpa mia
Il fatto che tu non ci sia
Mi manchi tanto lo sai
Ma sei troppo lontano ormai
Non senti che ti chiamo
Ma non lo sai cos’è
Ti sto gridando ti amo
E allora perché
Perché guardo tra i dettagli
E non mi piaccio più comunque sia
Mi convinco che sono magica
E pronta per un’altra follia
E poi sbaglio e poi piango
E poi magari è colpa mia
Mi manchi tanto lo sai
Ma sei così lontano ormai
Non senti che ti chiamo
Ma cosa fai cos’è
Ti sto gridando ti amo
E allora perché
Perché la notte non perdona mai
E tu come me allora soffrirai
Ma sei così lontano io che ti vorrei
Ma dove sei? Dove sei?
Non senti che ti chiamo
Quando verrai dame
Ti sto gridando ti amo
Ecco cos’è è che
È che mi manchi tu
Oh mi manchi tu
Perché la notte non perdona mai
E mi sento sola ormai
Non senti che ti chiamo
Ma non lo sai cos’è
È che mi manchi tu
E allora ecco cos’è
Mi manchi tu
Oh mi manchi tu
Non senti che ti chiamo

I don't know what love is, but I think I must have it bad
Yeah, you I don't know what love is, people
whoah, but I think I must have it bad
Yeah, you know some people say love is just a gamble
but whatever it is, it's enough to drive old me mad
They say love is just a proposition, people
it's strictly a game of give and take
Yeah, they tell me love, love, love is a proposition
people, they say it's strictly a game of give and take
Whoah, but my woman took all I gave her

Oh, I don't claim to be no gambler people

I don't know the reason why
She just got up early this mornin'
didn't even say good-bye
But I love you, I love you

Yes, there are a lot of women who love me
oh, but how you satisfy

I'm gonna find me a plot of ground
That nobody else has ever found
In the middle of the desert or the deep blue sea

A country all of its own
It'll even go down in history

No cost in money, you can get it free
So pack your heart and hurry up

Before I'm all sold out
A true true love and honesty
That's gonna be my policy

Oh what we'll do to foreign relations
Everybody's gonna say
"Hip hip hip hooray
For Lovey-Lovey-Love, Love Land, USA!"
Oh oh oh

Missing You (John Waite)
Missing You
Italian Title: Mi Manchi Tu
Composer(s): Mark Leonard; Charles Sandford; John Waite
Originally performed by: John Waite
Covered by various other artists
Everytime I think of you, I always catch my breath
And I'm still standing here, and you're miles away
And I'm wonderin' why you left
And there's a storm that's raging through my frozen heart tonight
I hear your name in certain circles, and it always makes me smile
I spend my time thinkin' about you, and it's almost driving me wild
And there's a heart that's breaking down this long distance line tonight
I ain't missing you at all since you've been gone away
I ain't missing you, no matter what I might say
There's a message in the wire, and I'm sending you this signal tonight
You don't know how desperate I've become
And it looks like I'm losing this fight
In your world I have no meaning, though I'm trying hard to understand
And it's my heart that's breaking down this long distance line tonight
Chorus:
I ain't missing you at all since you've been gone away
I ain't missing you, no matter what my friends say
And there's a message that I'm sending out, like a telegraph to your soul
And if I can't bridge this distance, stop this heartbreak overload
(chorus)
I ain't missing you, I ain't missing you, I can lie to myself
And there's a storm that's raging through my frozen heart tonight
(chorus)
Ain't missing you, I ain't missing you
I ain't missing you, I can lie to myself
Ain't missing you, I ain't missing you
I ain't missing you, I ain't missing you
I ain't missing you, I ain't missing you, ain't missing you, oh no
No matter what my friends might say, I ain't missing you...

Gamble Gold (Robin Hood)
Gamble Gold (Robin Hood)
(Traditional)
Performer(s): Steeleye Span
There chanced to be a pedlar bold
A pedlar bold he chanced to be
He rolled his pack all on his back
And he came tripping o'er the sea
By chance he met two troublesome blades
Troublesome blades they chanced to be
One of them was Robin Hood
The other was little John so free
Chorus
Gentlemen on high born blood
Gamble Gold and Robin Hood
``Oh pedlar, pedlar what's in the pack
Come speedily and tell to me''
``I've several suits of the gay green silk
And silken bow strings two of three''
``If you have suits of the gay green silk
And silken bow strings two of three''
``Then by my body'' cries Robin Hood
``Half your pack belongs to me''
Chorus
``Oh no, oh no,'' says the pedlar bold
``No that can never be
There's never a man in Nottingham
Can take one half my pack from me!''
The Robin Hood he drew his sword
And the pedlar by his pack did stand
They fought 'till the blood in streams did flow
And he cried ``Pedlar hold hold your hand''
Chorus
``Oh pedlar, pedlar what's thy name
Come speedily and tell to me''
``I'm Gamble Gold of the gay green woods
I've travelled far beyond the sea''
``If you're Gamble Gold of the gay green woods
Then my cousin you must be
Let us away to a tavern near
And bottles crack most merrily''
Chorus

Love Itself
Love Itself
Composer(s): Leonard Cohen - Sharon Robinson
Performer(s): Leonard Cohen; Sharon Robinson
The light came through the window
Straight from the sun above
And so inside my little room
There plunged the rays of Love
In streams of light I clearly saw
The dust you seldom see
Out of which the Nameless makes
A Name for one like me
I'll try to say a little more
Love went on and on
Until it reached an open door
Then Love Itself
Love Itself was gone
All busy in the sunlight
The flecks did float and dance
And I was tumbled up with them
In formless circumstance
I'll try to say a little more
Love went on and on
Until it reached an open door
Then Love Itself
Love Itself was gone
Then I came back from where I'd been
My room, it looked the same
But there was nothing left between
The Nameless and the Name
All busy in the sunlight
The flecks did float and dance
And I was tumbled up with them
In formless circumstance
I'll try to say a little more
Love went on and on
Until it reached an open door
Then Love itself
Love Itself was gone
Love Itself was gone

Missing You (Diana Ross)
Missing You
Composer(s): Lionel Richie
Performer(s): Diana Ross
Since you've been away
I've been down and lonely
Since you've been away
I've been thinking of you
Trying to understand
The reason you left me
What were you going through?
I'm missing you
Tell me why the road turns
Ooh ooh
I'm missing you
Tell me why the road turns
As I look around
I see things that remind me
Just to see you smile
Made my heart fill with joy
I'll still recall
All those dreams we shared together
Where did you run to, boy?
I'm missing you
Tell me why the road turns
Ooh ooh
I'm missing you
Tell me why the road turns
Sometimes I've wondered
I didn't understand
Just where you were trying to go
Only you knew the plan
And I tried to be there
But you wouldn't let me in
But now you've gone away boy
I feel so broken hearted
I knew the day we started
That we were meant to be
If only you'd let me!
I've cried so many tears
Gotta face now all my fears
We let time slip away
I need you boy
Here today!
There was so much you gave me
To my heart
To my soul
There was so much of your dreams
That were never told
You had so much hope
For a brighter day
Why were you my flower
Plucked away
I'm missing you
Tell me why the road turns
Ooh ooh
I'm missing you
Tell me why the road turns
