Fallin'
Fallin'
Composer(s): Neil Sedaka; Howard Greenfield
Performer(s): Connie Francis;
and various other artists
I got to feelin' I'm a-fallin'
Like a star up in the blue
Like I was fallin' off Niag'ra
In a paddle boat canoe
I got to feelin' I'm a-fallin'
And it's all because o' you
Like I was walkin' on a tight rope
Swingin' in the breeze
And though I try to keep my balance
Well I just weaken in the knees
I got to feelin' I'm a-fallin'
Oh lover, help me please
Like a leaf falls from a branch
Like a rock slide avalanche
Like the rain on a stormy day
I never thought I'd fall this way
I thought that love could never touch me
Yeah, I was ridin' high
And then my iv'ry tower toppled
And I tumbled from the sky
I got to feelin' I'm a-fallin'
And lover, you're the reason why
Like Goliath when he met his foe
Like the walls of Jericho
Like Delilah's holy town
And Samson tore it down
I thought that love could never touch me
Yeah, I was ridin' high
But then my iv'ry tower toppled
And I tumbled from the sky
I got to feelin' I'm a fallin'
And you're the reason why
Oooh, you're the reason why
Yeah, you're the reason why
Baby, you're the reason why
Yeah, you're the reason why
Oooh, you're...........

He loved her very much, in fact he loved her so much that he

And every time I start to tell you
Words come to my throat but they stick there
Bright moon tray fiddlee run by through
Around and up to,
That's why I love you so much
That's why I love you like I do
In other words there are no words to say how much I care

Words come to my throat but they stick there
Bright moon tray fiddlee run by through

That's why I love you so much
That's why I love you like I do

Well East coast girls are hip
I really dig those styles they wear
And the Southern girls with the way they talk

Fallen Angel (The Bee Gees)
Fallen Angel
Composer(s): Barry Gibb; Maurice Gibb; Robin Gibb
Performer(s): The Bee Gees
Fool in the night on the stair
With the light by the window
Out in the jungle of life she was
Yearning to go
All of the years I've been there for the tears
She will sell you
Out in the city she search for the face
That she knew
Did you believe that a love so alive
Could be over
(Chorus)
Caroline
Fallen Angel
Caroline
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
oh oh oh oh
Fallen Angel
I'm so lost
Tonight, lonely tonight
Lonely tonight
Fool is the father who clings to the
Child he is losing
Mother too weary to question
The wisdom of youth
There with your head in your hand
As you pray to her picture
Out in the rain she would search
For somebody to hold
Did you believe you could find
What you need with a stranger
(Chorus)
Did you believe that a love so alive
Could be over
(Chorus)

That's Why God Is Singing The Blues
That's Why God Is Singing The Blues
Composer(s): Ian Gillan
Performer(s): Deep Purple
We took the p out of paradise
just to produce this hell
And all we're going to leave behind is this decaying putrid smell
We've lived in this world
seen her used and abused
That's why god is singing the blues
They felled a great oak over there
they filled a duck pond over here
We've got a glass and concrete monster now that feeds and caters to
our fears
Maybe it's too late
to spoil another view
That's why god is singing the blues
Forgive us father
for we know not what we do
Blame it on each other
and in the name of you
Forgive us mother
for the pain we caused
we destroyed what's yours
That's why papa's singing the blues
Polluted all the oceans
pulped all the trees
Plagued by chronic boredom
we blew a hole in the atmosphere
We tore out her heart
left her battered and bruised
That's why god is singing the blues
Forgive us father
for we know not what we do
Blame it on each other
and in the name of you
Forgive us mother
for the pain we caused
we destroyed what's yours
That's why papa's singing the blues
You may believe in evolution
you may believe in god's great creation
The only thing we know for sure
we got a man made situation
We turned this whole world
into a dying zoo
That's why god is singing the blues
You better live on your feet
than die on your knees
I stole that from some graffiti
lord have mercy please
Living in this babylon
keeps us confused
That's why god is singing the blues

I heard they exploded
The underground blast
What they say's gonna happen
Gonna happen at last
That's the way it appears
They tell me the fault line runs right through here
So that may be
That may be
What's gonna happen gonna happen to me
That's the way it appears
They tell me the fault line runs right through here
Atlantis will rise
Sunset Boulevard will fall
Where the beach used to be
Won't be nothing at all
That's the way it appears
They tell me the fault line runs right through here
So that may be
That may be
What's gonna happen gonna happen to me
That's the way it appears
They tell me the fault line runs right through here

Fallen Angel (King Crimson)
Fallen Angel
Composer(s): Robert Fripp;
Richard Palmer-James; John Wetton
Performer(s): King Crimson
Tears of joy at the birth of a brother
Never alone from that time
Sixteen Years through knife fights and danger
Strangely why his life not mine
West side skyline crying
Fallen angel dying
Risk a life to make a dime
Lifetimes spent on the streets of a city
Make us the people we are
Switchblade stings in one tenth of a moment
Better get back to the car
Snow white side streets of cold New York City
Stained with his blood it all went wrong
Sick and tired blue wicked and wild
God only knows for how long
Fallen angel
Fallen angel
West side skyline
Crying for an angel dying
Life expiring in the city
Fallen angel...

The way you soothe me so I won't complain
And when you kiss me with your ruby red lips
It thrills me so, I turn a back-over flip

Fallait-Il?
Composer(s): Michel Vaucaire; Charles Dumont
Performer(s): Edith Piaf; Charles Dumont
Pour partir de chez moi
Pour partir de chez toi
Pour laisser tout tomber
Sans regarder derrière soi
Fallait-il, fallait-il
Fallait-il que l'on s'aime...
Fallait-il en avoir
De l'amour, toi et moi...
Pour chaque fois se quitter
Sur un mot maladroit
Pour chaque fois le regretter
Et chaque fois recommencer
Fallait-il, fallait-il
Fallait-il que l'on s'aime...
Fallait-il en avoir
De l'amour, toi et moi...
Pour s'aimer aussi mal
Aussi mal qu'on s'aimait
Pour se faire autant de mal
Autant de mal qu'on s'est fait
Fallait-il, fallait-il
Fallait-il que l'on s'aime...
Fallait-il en avoir
De l'amour, toi et moi...
Pour n'avoir jamais pu
Être heureuse...
Être heureuse après toi...

That's Where My Money Goes
Performer(s): Webb Pierce
Oh boy that's where my money goes
I've got a gal in Monroeville she won't dance but her sister will
Oh boy that's where my money goes
And I've got a gal out in Florida she won't swing but the show will sway
Oh boy that's where my money goes
Work my fingers to the bone so I can take more dollars home
Workin' over time at the mill turn the pay for my baby's bills
My gal wears fancy clothes red tall shoes and rolldown hose
Oh boy that's where my money goes
My gal drives a limousine and you know who buys the gasoline
Oh boy that's where my money goes
My gal lives like a movie star pink champaigne and caviar
Oh boy that's where my money goes
Work my fingers to the bone...
Oh boy that's where my money goes

Performer(s): Aerosmith
Looking through the looking glass
Looking back at me
I got X-Ray rear view vision
But I don't like what I see
Now, I'd should not bitch and moan
But there's not much I can do
When you're hangin' by a thread
And I'm hangin' on to you
Baby we can fall apart
Or we can fall together
It's a long, way down
We can make a new start
Never say never
We can fall apart
Or we can fall together
Now I know you feel compelled
When you're so down in the dumps
Every road can take some turns
And every road has got it's bumps
Now you got to know yourself
Yeah, you got to play it smart
'Cause you'll suffer for your sanity
If you suffer for your art
Baby we can fall apart
Or we can fall together
It's a long way down
We can make a new start
Never say never
We can fall apart
Or we can fall together
Now honey I got this feelin' somethin's funny
But I don't know what it is
My knees are shakin'
And the ground's about to give
Or we can fall together
It's a long way down
We can make a new start
Never say never
We can fall apart
Or we can fall together
Baby we can fall apart
Or we can fall together
It's a long way down
We can make a new start
Never say never
We can fall apart
Or we can fall together
Fall together
Fall together
Fall together, right now
You and me
