Time is truly wastin'
There's no guarantee
Smile's in the makin'
You gotta fight the powers that be
Got so many forces
Stayin' on the scene
Givin' up all around me
Faces full a' pain
I can't play my music
They say my music's too loud
I kept talkin about it
I got the big run around
When I rolled with the punches
I got knocked on the ground
With all this bullshit going down
Time is truly wastin'
There's no guarantee
Smile's in the makin'
You gotta fight the powers that be
I don't understand it
People wanna see, ya
Those that got the answers
Red tape in the way
I could take you in easy
That's just half the fun, oh boy
Seeking satisfaction
Keeps me on the run
I can't play my music
They say my music's too loud
I kept talkin about it
I got the big run around
When I rolled with the punches
I got knocked on the ground
With all this bullshit going down
Time is truly wastin'
There's no guarantee
Smile's in the makin'
You gotta fight the powers that be
If you & I can - we got the power
Fight it, got the power fight it........baby, baby
Fight it, fight the power

Can't Stay Away From You
Can't Stay Away From You
Composer(s): Gloria Estefan
Performer(s): Gloria Estefan & Miami Sound Machine
and multiple other artists
Time flies
When you're having fun
I heard somebody say
But if all I've been is fun
Then baby let me go
Don't wanna be in your way
And I don't wanna be your second choice
Don't wanna be just your friend
You keep telling me that you're not in love
You wanna throw it all away
But I can't stay away form you
I don't wanna let you go
And though it's killing me that's true
There's just some things I can't control
Your love is slipping through my hands
And though I've heard it all before
I know you're telling me the truth
I know it's just no use
But I can't stay away from you
Hold on to every bit of hope, that's all I ever do
Hoping you might change your mind
And call me up to say how much you need me too
And though you're leaving me no other choice
Than to turn and walk away
Look over your shoulder, I'll be there
You can count on me to stay ...
'Cause I can't stay away from you
I don't wanna let you go
And though it's killing me that's true
There's just some things I can't control
Your love slipping through my hands
And though I've heard it all before
I know you're telling me the truth
I know it's just no use
But I can't stay away from you
I know you're telling me the truth
I know it's just no use
But I can't stay away from you

Figaro
Composer(s): Tony Hiller; Martin Lee; Lee Sheridan
Performer(s): Brotherhood Of Man
Every morning when sun is dawning
You'll see him down on the beach
Look out girl, beware
Better take good care
Keep yourself out of reach
He's out to make a killing, girl
He's out to make a score
And maybe if you're willing, girl
He's gonna ask for more
Oh, oh Figaro
He's got magic, oh oh
Oh, oh Figaro
He's a Romeo, oh
See him down on the beach
He'll be looking for someone new
Searching down on the beach
Figaro, Figaro
When he plays guitar
At the disco bar
He's the star of the show
As the girls go by
He just winks an eye
See those pretty girls glow
He's out to make a killing girl
When dancing on the floor
And maybe if you're willing girl
He's gonna ask for more
Oh, oh Figaro
He's got magic, oh oh
Oh, oh Figaro
He's a Romeo, oh
See him down on the beach
He'll be looking for someone new
Searching down on the beach
Figaro, Figaro
Oh, oh Figaro
He's got magic, oh oh
Oh, oh Figaro
He's a Romeo, oh
Oh, oh Figaro
He's got magic, oh oh

Performer(s): Ray Charles
and multiple other artists
Some people cry the blues, I never could
I had no time for tears, life was too good
I had the brightest smile in town, oh yeah
Till you came along, and you turned it upside down
Everything went my way, life was a ball
But then you came along and changed it all
You took the brightest smile in town
Yeah you took it baby, and you turned it upside down
You brought me love, oh tender love
That made my whole world glow
And then you took it all away
Just why, I'll never know
I'll soon forget in time, And smile again
But I can never smile as I did then
You took the brightest smile in town, oh Yeah
You took it baby, and you turned it upside down
Baby, woooh, yeah baby, you turned it upside down

Composer(s): Paul Simon
First release: Paul Simon - 1975
Covered by multiple other artists

1976 - Gute Gründe, Um Zu Gehen (Daliah Lavi)
1979 - Trente Manières De Quitter Une Fille (Michel Delpech)
2005 - 50 Plus (Tom Van Stiphout en Paul Poelmans)
The problem is all inside your head she said to me
The answer is easy if you take it logically
I'd like to help you in your struggle to be free
There must be fifty ways to leave your lover
She said it's really not my habit to intrude
Furthermore, I hope my meaning won't be lost or misconstrued
But I'll repeat myself at the risk of being crude
There must be fifty ways to leave your lover
Fifty ways to leave your lover
You just slip out the back, Jack
Make a new plan, Stan
You don't need to be coy, Roy
Just get yourself free
Hop on the bus, Gus
You don't need to discuss much
Just drop off the key, Lee
And get yourself free
She said it grieves me so to see you in such pain
I wish there was something I could do to make you smile again
I said I appreciate that and would you please explain
About the fifty ways
She said why don't we both just sleep on it tonight
And I believe in the morning you'll begin to see the light
And then she kissed me and I realized she probably was right
There must be fifty ways to leave your lover
Fifty ways to leave your lover
You just slip out the back, Jack
Make a new plan, Stan
You don't need to be coy, Roy
Just get yourself free
Hop on the bus, Gus
You don't need to discuss much
Just drop off the key, Lee
And get yourself free

The Bridge Washed Out
Composer(s): Jimmy Louis - Mel Melshee - Sandra Smith
Performer(s): Rick Nelson
and multiple other artists
The bridge washed out I can't swim and my baby's on the other side
When I awoke this a morning the rain was a pouring down
I was gonna wed the little river girl just over the bridge across town
Now I'm a runnin' up and down the river and my nerves are drivin' me wild
Because the bridge washed out I can't swim and my baby's on the other side
Rain oh rain stop a fallin' dark clouds hurry from the sky
The preacher and my bride are waitin' and the weddin' bells are startin' to chime
I can't kiss and hold her and it's drivin' me out of my mind
'Cause the bridge washed out I can't swim and my baby's on the other side
Now I got one foot in the river one foot solid on the ground
I try to swim that ragin' old river but I know if I try I'd drown
There's not a boat around me they walked on out with the tide
'Cause the bridge washed out I can't swim and my baby's on the other side
'Cause the bridge washed out I can't swim and my baby's on the other side

Composer(s): Chris Arnold - David Martin - Geoff Morrow
First release by: David Martin - 1975
Covered by multiple other artists
You know I can't smile without you
I can't smile without you
I can't laugh and I can't sing
I'm finding' it hard to do anything
You see I feel sad when you're sad
I feel glad when you're glad
If you only knew what I'm going through
I just can't smile without you
You came along just like a song
And brightened my day
Who'd believed that you were part of a dream?
Now it all seems light years away
And now you know I can't smile without you
I can't smile without you
I can't laugh and I can't sing
I'm finding' it hard to do anything
You see, I feel sad when you're sad
I feel glad when you're glad
If you only knew what I'm going through
I just can't smile without you
Now some people say happiness takes so very long to find
Well I'm finding it hard leaving' your love behind me
And you see I can't smile without you
I can't smile without you
I can't laugh and I can't sing
I'm finding' it hard to do anything
You see I feel glad when you're glad
I feel sad when you're sad
If you only knew what I'm going through
I just can't smile without you...

Fifty Percent
Fifty Percent
Composer(s): Billy Goldenberg;
Alan Bergman; Marilyn Bergman
Performer(s): Helen Reddy;
and various other artists
I don't iron his shirts
I don't sew on his buttons
I don't know all the jokes he tells
Or the songs he hums
Though I may hold him all through the night
He may not be here when the morning comes
I don't pick out his ties
Or expect his tomorrows
But I feel when he's in my arms
He's where he wants to be
We have no memories
Bittersweet with time
And I doubt if he'll spend New Year's Eve with me
I don't share his name
I don't wear his ring
There's no piece of paper saying that he's mine
But he says he loves me, and I believe it's true
Doesn't that make someone belong to you
So I don't share his name
So I don't wear his ring
So there's no piece of paper saying that he's mine
So we have don't have the memories
I have enough memories
I've watched enough mornings
I've cried enough evenings
I've had enough birthdays to know what I want
Like there's anyone's guess
It's a constant surprise
Though you don't plan to fall in love
When you fall you fall
I'd rather have fifty percent of him
Or any percent of him
Than all of anybody else at all

First release by: Jimmy Dorsey & His Orch. - 1940
Covered by multiple other artists
The breeze and I are saying with a sigh
That you no longer care
The breeze and I are whispering goodbye
To dreams we used to share
Ours was a love song that seemed constant as the moon
Ending in a strange, mournful tune
And all about me, they know you have departed without me
And we wonder why, the breeze and I
The breeze and I

Can't Shake The Sands Of Texas From My Shoes
Composer(s): Gene Autry - Diane Johnston - Kenneth Pitts
Performer(s): Gene Autry; Don Edwards; Riders in the Sky
I'm sad, I got the blues
Can't shake the sands of Texas from my shoes
I sigh, and don't know why
I guess I got those dear old Texas blues
The smell of the rain, the roll of the plain
The feel of my seat in the saddle
I'd give all I own if I could be home
Back on the range punchin' cattle
I guess I got the blues
Can't shake the sands of Texas from my shoes

Fifty Million Frenchmen Can't Be Wrong
Fifty Million Frenchmen Can't Be Wrong
Composer(s): Fred Fisher; Willie Raskin; Billy Rose
Performer(s): Sophie Tucker
They say the French are naughty
They say the French are bad
They all declare that over there
The French are going mad
They have a reputation of being very gay
I just got back from Paris, and I just want to say
When they go parley-vee and parley-vou
This for me, zat for you
Fifty million Frenchmen can't be wrong
When they go
Ohh la la la la la la la
On the bully boulevard
Fifty million Frenchmen can't be wrong
They shake-a the hand
They shake-a the feet
They roll ze eyes and kiss cafe right on the street
Even though the Irish and the Dutch
Say it don't amount to much
Fifty million Frenchmen can't be wrong
All of our fashions come from gay Par-ee
And if they come above the knee
Fifty million Frenchmen can't be wrong
And if they give the world a new design
To prove a lady has a spine
Fifty million Frenchmen can't be wrong
They shorten them here
They shorten them there
And if her name is Teddy, they make Teddy bare
If they prefer to see their women dressed
With more or less of less and less
Fifty million Frenchmen can't be wrong
When they put on a show, and it's a hit
No one tries to censor it
Fifty million Frenchmen can't be wrong
And when a book is selling at it's best
It isn't stopped; it's not suppressed
Fifty million Frenchmen can't be wrong
Whenever they're dry
For brandy or rye
To get it, they don't gave to give up their right eye
And when we brag about our liberty
And they laugh at you and you and you and me
Fifty million Frenchmen can't be wrong
In Viva la France
They're full of romance
You'll find policemen with embroidery on their pants
And when they start to sing the Marseillaise
They sing it forty different ways
Fifty million Frenchmen can't be wrong

Brand New Tennessee Waltz
Brand New Tennessee Waltz
Composer(s): Jesse Winchester
First release by: Jesse Winchester - 1970
Covered by multiple other artists
Oh you have such a pretty face
You favor a girl I once knew
I imagine that she's in Tennessee
Oh Lord I should be there too
But I left Tennessee in a hurry dear
The same way that I'm leaving you
For love is mainly just memories
And everyone's got them but few
It's a brand new Tennessee waltz
You're literally just waltzing on air
It's a brand new Tennessee waltz
With no telling who will be there
When I leave it'll be like I found you love
Descending victorian stairs
I'm feeling like one of your photographs
With not even you left to care
Have all your passionate violins play
A tune for a Tennessee kid
Who's feeling like leaving another town
With no place to go if he did

Can't Shake Loose
Can't Shake Loose
Composer(s): Russ Ballard
First release by: Agnetha Fältskog - 1983
I don't wanna stay here but I can't leave
I'm in the spell of the magic you weave
Somebody wake me up
I wish I could break it up
But I can't shake loose
Can't shake loose
I can't shake loose
Can't shake loose
Any move I'll make in the end I will loose
I can't shake loose
I try and I try but it ain't no use
I could go like I did before
But these old shoes keep walking to your door
I wanna hide but when I hear you call
If I turn around I know I will fall
One step people shake
No matter what move I make
Cos' I can't shake loose
Can't shake loose
I can't shake loose
Can't shake loose
Any move I'll make in the end I will loose......
I don't wanna stay here
But you know I can't leave
Please let me go dear
Please let me leave
I can't shake loose
I can't shake loose
I can't shake loose
Can't shake loose
Any move I'll make in the end I will loose
I can't shake loose
I try and I try but it ain't no use
I could go like I did before
But these old shoes keep walking to your door
I can't shake loose......

Fifteen Years Ago
Fifteen Years Ago
Composer(s): Ray Smith
Performer(s): Conway Twitty; Daryle Singletary;
The Statler Brothers; Billy Walker
I saw a man today who said he'd talked to you
Not so long ago I think a month or two
As my mind goes back in time I pray
Oh lord don't let it show
He thinks I forgot you fifteen years ago
Fifteen years ago and I still feel the same
Why did he have to mention your name
I'm as broken up inside as if it's been a week ago
It takes a mighty long time
To get a real love off your mind
I know I've tried since fifteen years ago
I've got a lovely wife who thinks the world of me
Promised her my love through all eternity
I've tried hard to make her happy
But so far she doesn't know
I can't shake this thing from fifteen years ago
Fifteen years ago and I still feel the same
Why did he have to mention your name
I'm as broken up inside as if it's been a week ago
It takes a mighty strong love
To keep a man thinking of a girl
He hasn't seen since fifteen years ago
It takes a mighty long time
To get a real love off your mind
I know I've tried since fifteen years ago

The Bragging Song
The Bragging Song
(aka "I Was Born Ten Thousand Years Ago"; "I Was Born About Ten Thousand Years Ago"; "I Was Borned About Four Thousand Years Ago"; "The Liar")
(Traditional)
Performer(s): Kelly Harrell
and multiple other artists
I was born ten thousand years ago
And there's nothing in this world that I don't know
I saw Pater, Paul, and Moses playing ring around the roses
And I'll lick the guy that say it isn't so
I saw Satan when he looked the garden o'er
I saw Eve and Adam driven from the door
And behind the bushes peepin', saw the apple they were eatin'
And I swear that I'm the guy that ate the core
I saw Jonah when he was within the whale
And thought he'd never live to tell the tale
But old Jonah'd eaten garlic, and he gave the whale the colic
So he coughed him up and let him out of jail
I saw Israel in the battle of the Nile
The arrows were flying thick and fast and wild
I saw David with his sling pop Goliath on the wing
I was doing forty seconds to the mile
I saw Sampson when he laid the village cold
Saw Daniel tame the lions in their hold
I helped build the Tower of Babel up as high as they were able
And there's many other things I haven't told
I taught Soloman his little A-B-C's
I helped Brigham Young to make limberger cheese
And while sailing down the bay with Methusala one day
I saved his flowing whiskers from the breeze
Queen Elizabeth, she fell in love with me
We were married in Milwaukee secretly
But I schemed around and shook her, then she went with General Hooker
To shoot mosquitoes down in Tenessee
I remember when the country had a king
I saw Cleopatra pawn her wedding ring
And I saw th flags a'flyin' when George Washington stopped lyin'
On the night when Patty first begin to sing
So, you see I am an educated man
To keep my brains in my head I plan
Cause I been on earth so long, that I use to sing a song
While Abraham and Issac played the band
I was born ten thousand years ago
And there's nothing in this world that I don't know
I saw Peter, Paul and Moses playing ring-around-the-roses
And I can lick the guy that says it is'nt so

Can't Set Rules About Love
Can't Set Rules About Love
Composer(s): Adam Ant - Marco Pirroni
Performer(s): Adam & the Ants
I feel suspended in space
In another time and place
To talk would burst the bubble
Just want to lie next to you
And appreciate the view
And hope it lasts forever
We do not have to play games
Or listen to all the names
They have for Russian roulette
If it's good enough for the gemini guys
Then it's good enough for me
You can't set rules about love
You can't set rules about love
So the I becomes we
We make our own chemistry
To move is too much trouble
I hope we won't separate
Return to our normal state
As long as we're together
So if it's yes or it's no
Chime time says the radio
Why don't you kiss me deadly
If and when you slip away
Just don't let me hear you say
Good morning and goodbye
Revolution -- the fourth and final part
Revolution -- afterplay with my heart
