Cat's In The Cradle


Cat's In The Cradle Composer(s): Sandy Chapin - Harry Chapin First release by: Harry Chapin - 1974 Covered by multiple other artists



My child arrived just the other day He came to the world in the usual way But there were planes to catch, and bills to pay He learned to walk while I was away And he was talking 'fore I knew it, and as he grew He'd say, "I'm gonna be like you, dad You know I'm gonna be like you" And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon Little boy blue and the man in the moon "When you coming home, dad?" "I don't know when But we'll get together then You know we'll have a good time then" My son turned ten just the other day He said, "Thanks for the ball, dad, come on let's play Can you teach me to throw?" I said, "Not today I got a lot to do" He said, "That's ok" And he walked away, but his smile never dimmmed Said, "I'm gonna be like him, yeah You know I'm gonna be like him" And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon Little boy blue and the man in the moon "When you coming home, dad?" "I don't know when But we'll get together then You know we'll have a good time then" Well, he came from college just the other day So much like a man I just had to say "Son, I'm proud of you Can you sit for a while?" He shook his head, and he said with a smile "What I'd really like, dad, is to borrow the car keys See you later Can I have them please?" And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon Little boy blue and the man in the moon "When you coming home, son?" "I don't know when But we'll get together then, dad You know we'll have a good time then" I've long since retired and my son's moved away I called him up just the other day I said, "I'd like to see you if you don't mind" He said, "I'd love to, dad, if I could find the time You see, my new job's a hassle, and the kid's got the flu But it's sure nice talking to you, dad It's been sure nice talking to you" And as I hung up the phone, it occurred to me He'd grown up just like me My boy was just like me And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon Little boy blue and the man in the moon "When you coming home, son?" "I don't know when But we'll get together then, dad You know we'll have a good time then"

Fool, Fool, Fool (The Clovers)


Fool, Fool, Fool
Composer(s): Ahmet Ertegun
Performer(s): The Clovers
and multiple other artists



Fool, fool, fool that I was to fall for you
Fool, fool, fool that I was to fall for you
Oh what a fool I was, to think you could love me too

Well, the first time that I saw you, you looked so doggone sweet
When you walked down the street, I said 'There goes my meat'
(Needless to say, Kay Starr's version didn't have this line)

Fool, fool, fool that I was to fall for you
Oh what a fool I was, to think you could love me too

I can't forget you darlin', though I'm left out in the cold
I guess I still love you, and will always feel the same

Fool, fool, fool that I was to fall for you
Oh what a fool I was, to think you could love me too

The First Hello, The Last Goodbye


The First Hello, The Last Goodbye
Composer(s): Cardew Robinson - Roger Whittaker
Performer(s): Roger Whittaker



They say when you gain a lover
You begin to lose a friend
That the end of the beginning’s
The beginning of the end
They say the moment that you’re born
Is when you start to die
And the first time that we said hello
Began our last goodbye

We know each summer’s coming
Means the winter’s waiting there
And gold would not be precious
If we all had gold to spare
You only know how low is low
The first time that you fly
And the first time that we said hello
Began our last goodbye

If I could live forever
It is certain I would never know
Another single second so sublime
At the moment of our meeting
When our hands first touched in greeting
How I wanted to hold back the hands of time

When they begin the overture
They start to end the show
When you think I’ll never need you
Then I knew that you would go
The sound of all our laughter
Is now echoed in a sigh
And the first time that we said hello
Began our last goodbye

If I could live forever
It’s certain I would never know
Another single second so sublime
At the moment of our meeting
When our hands first touched in greeting
How I wanted to hold back the hands of time, oh yes

When they begin the overture
They start to end the show
When you think I’ll never need you
Then I knew that you would go
The sound of all our laughter
Is now echoed in a sigh
And the first time that we said hello
Began our last goodbye
And the first time that we said hello
Began our last goodbye

Fool To Myself


Fool To Myself
Composer(s): Gerry Marsden
Performer(s): Gerry & The Pacemakers



I've been a fool, yes a fool to myself
To think that you were mine I never thought you'd be so wild
You played around with everyone anytime at all
I thought you were bein' friendly when you took them home to tea
I've been a fool, yes a fool to myself
I've been a fool, yes a fool to myself
When I used to ring you & you said you were ill in bed
I should've realized, yes you were ill but in your head
There's only one thing left for me to say, it's this, my friend
I've been a fool, yes a fool to myself
I've been a fool, yes a fool to myself
Life, I know, is not a dream
A dream of your A T
But must you go & try to make some kind of monkey out of me?
If this life you're livin' suits your temperament & your face
I'm ever tryin' to change it, I will leave you in disgrace
There's only one thing left for me to say, it's this, my friend
I've been a fool, yes a fool to myself
I've been a fool, yes a fool to myself

Composer(s): L. Miller - E. Cassen - M. Littman - R. Butler
Performer(s): Lou Preager Orch. And Eileen Orchard



I’ve made a date for the first day of summer
A date when the skies are blue
There’ll be songbirds to meet me
And rosebuds to greet me
When I’m on my way to you

We will meet at the church of St. Mary
When the joy bells begin to chime
What a wonderful day for a wedding
The first day of summer time

What a wonderful day for a wedding
The first day of summer time

Cathy's Clown


Cathy's Clown ((French Version: Le P'tit Clown De Ton Coeur (Johnny Hallyday) - 1960)) Composer(s): Don Everly First release by: The Everly Brothers - 1960 Covered by multiple other artists



Don't want your love anymore
Don't want your kisses that's for sure
I die each time I hear this sound
Here he comes, that's Cathy's clown

I've gotta stand tall
You know a man can't crawl
For when he knows you're tellin' lies
And he lets them pass him by

He's not a man at all
Don't want your love anymore
Don't want your kisses that's for sure
I die each time I hear this sound

Here he comes, that's Cathy's clown
When you see me shed a tear
And you know that it's sincere
Don't you think it's kind of sad

That you're treating me so bad
Or don't you even care
Don't want your love anymore
Don't want your kisses that's for sure

I die each time I hear this sound
Here he comes, that's Cathy's clown
That's Cathy's clown.....

Composer(s): Cat Stevens
First release by: P.P. Arnold - 1967
Covered by multiple other artists



I would have given you all of my heart
but there's someone who's torn it apart
and she's taking almost all that I've got
but if you want, I'll try to love again
baby I'll try to love again but I know

The first cut is the deepest, baby I know
The first cut is the deepest
'cause when it comes to being lucky she's cursed
when it comes to lovin' me she's worse
but when it comes to being loved she's first
that's how I know

The first cut is the deepest, baby I know
The first cut is the deepest

I still want you by my side
just to help me dry the tears that I've cried
cause I'm sure gonna give you a try
and if you want, I'll try to love again
but baby, I'll try to love again, but I know

The first cut is the deepest, baby I know
The first cut is the deepest

'Cause when it comes to being lucky she's cursed
when it comes to lovin' me she's worse
but when it comes to being loved she's first
that's how I know

The first cut is the deepest, baby I know
The first cut is the deepest

Cathy


Cathy Composer(s): Sammy Cahn - Jimmy Van Heusen Performer(s): Vic Damone; Shelly Manne; Buddy Rich



If you never met an angel then you must meet Cathy
Cathy's everything you've dreamed an angel ought to be
There's music everytime she sighs
Her smile is every sweet surprise
You simply won't believe your eyes wait and see

Chapel windows when they catch the morning sun that's Cathy
How can merely touching someone's hand seem so divine
You might as well prepare to fall in love with Cathy
Or you'll lose your heart to Cathy just as I lost mine

You might as well prepare to fall in love with Cathy
Or you'll lose your heart to Cathy just as I lost mine
Yes you'll lose your heart to Cathy just as I lost mine

Fool That I Am


Fool That I Am
Composer(s): Floyd Hunt
Performer(s): Etta James;
and various other artists



Fool that I am
For falling in love with you
And, fool that I am
For thinking you loved me, too

You took my heart
Then played the part of little coquette
And, my dreams just disappeared
Like the smoke from a cigarette

Fool that I am
For hoping you’d understand
And thinking you
Would listen, too
And, oh, the things I had planned

But we couldn’t see eye to eye
So, darling, darling, darling
This is goodbye
But I still care, but I still care
And oh, fool that I am
Oh, but I still care
Fool that I am

The Fireman
Composer(s): Mack Vickery - Wayne Kemp
Performer(s): George Strait



Well they call me the fireman, that's my name
Making my rounds all over town, putting out old flames
Well everybody'd like to have a what I got
I can cool 'em down when they're smold'ring hot
I'm the fireman, that's my name

Last night they had a bad one a mile or two down the road
Well my buddy walked out and left his woman burning out of control
Well I was down there in about an hour or so
With a little mouth to mouth she was ready to go
I'm the fireman, that's my name

Well they call me the fireman, that's my name
Making my rounds all over town, putting out old flames
Well everybody'd like to have a what I got
I can cool 'em down when they're smold'ring hot
I'm the fireman, that's my name

Got a fire engine red - T - bird automobile
In a minute or less I can be dressed fit to kill
I work 24 on, 24 off
When they get too hot, they just give me a call
I'm the fireman, that's my name

Well they call me the fireman, that's my name
Making my rounds all over town, putting out old flames
Well everybody'd like to have a what I got
I can cool 'em down when they're smold'ring hot
I'm the fireman, that's my name

They call me the fireman, that's my name

Cathouse Blues


Cathouse Blues
Performer(s): Stevie Nicks



Cathouse blues
I wear the high airs
The high heel shoes
Whoa ...
Darling, it's hard to be surrounded
Where the women are lazy
And the men are rude
I got the cat walk, don't talk blues
I creep on cat's feet
I don't speak loose
Your self in velvet
Forget we ever met
I got the clothes
And the cathouse blues
Blue-gray eyes that say
I guess you don't remember
I guess that I was younger
To say the cat sleeps alone
Sleeps only in the sun
But shield away the night
And she'll be gone
Singing the cathouse blues
I need some new red velvet shoes
I'm still a dreamer's fancy
They say I'm pretty classy
I'm just a feline-silky cat come true
I'm just a feline-silky cat come true
I'm just a feline-silky cat come true
Yeah ...

Fool Number One


Fool Number One
Composer(s): Kathryn R. Fulton
Performer(s): Brenda Lee



Am I fool number one or am I fool number two
How many other girls have been fooled by you
I suppose that the number is far from being small
And I'll bet that I'm the biggest fool of all

If I had the chance I guess I'd do it all again
I'd go down that same old road even knowing at the end
You'll leave me when your heart hears a new love call
So I'll guess that I'm the biggest fool of all

Am I fool number one or am I fool number two
How many other girls have been fooled by you
I suppose that the number is far from being small
And I'll guess that I'm the biggest fool of all

Composer(s): Bob Seger
First release by: Bob Seger & the Silver Bullet Band - 1976
Covered by multiple other artists



Here comes old Rosie she's looking mighty fine
Here comes hot Nancy she's steppin' right on time
There go the street lights bringin on the night
Here come the men faces hidden from the light
All through the shadows they come and they go
With only one thing in common
They got the fire down below

Here comes the rich man in his big long limousine
Here comes the poor man all you got to have is green
Here comes the banker and the lawyer and the cop
One thing for certain it ain't never gonna stop
When it all gets too heavy
That's when they come and go
With only one thing in common
They got the fire down below

It happens out in Vegas happens in Moline
On the blue blood streets of Boston
Up in Berkeley and out in Queens
And it went on yesterday and it's going on tonight
Somewhere there's somebody ain't treatin' somebody right

And he's looking out for Rosie and she's looking mighty fine
And he's walking the streets for Nancy
And he'll find her everytime
When the street light flicker bringing ont he night
Well they'll be slipping into darkness slipping out of sight
All through the midnight
Watch 'em come and watch 'em go
With only one thing in common
They got the fire down below

Fool In The Rain


Fool In The Rain
Composer(s): John Paul Jones; Jimmy Page; Robert Plant
Performer(s): Led Zeppelin;
Azzlzz Band; Maná; Rick Wakeman



Well there's a light in your eye that keeps shining
Like a star that can't wait for the night
I hate to think I've been blinded baby
Why can't I see you tonight?

And the warmth of your smile starts a-burnin'
And the thrill of your touch gives me fright
And I'm shaking so much, really yearning
Why don't you show up, make it all right?
Yeah, it's all right

And if you promised you'd love so completely
and you said you would always be true
You swore that you would never leave me, baby
What ever happened to you?

And you thought it was only in movies
As you wish all your dreams would come true
It ain't the first time believe me, baby
I'm standin here feeling blue
Yeah I'm blue

Now I will stand in the rain on the corner
I'll watch the people go shuffling downtown
Another ten minutes no longer
And then I'm turning around

The clock on the wall's moving slower
My heart it sinks to the ground
And the storm that I thought would blow over
Clouds the light of the love that I found

Now my body is starting to quiver
And the palms of my hands getting wet
I've got no reason to doubt you baby,
It's all a terrible mess

I'll run in the rain till I'm breathless
When I'm breathless I'll run till I drop, hey
The thoughts of a fool's kind of careless
I'm just a fool waiting on the wrong block, oh yeah
Light of the love that I found...

Catherine Cares


Catherine Cares
Composer(s): Pete Ham
Performer(s): Pete Ham



The things I said to her are on my mind
Things I said so selfishly, didn't mean a thing to me
But now I know that she was being kind
Didn't want me to be hurt, no one there to change my shirt

Catherine cares
Now I know she does, oh yes she does, oh yeah
Catherine cares
Yeah, I know that I was wrong
Catherine cares
Yeah, the only thing she wants is to have her baby home

No matter what I got, I just complained
She'd give her last to see me smile, tried to keep me dressed in style
But I had this ambition in my brain
So I walked out and left her there without a thought, without a care

Catherine cares
Now I know she does, oh yes she does, oh yeah
Catherine cares
Yeah, I know that I was wrong
Catherine cares
Yeah, the only thing she wants is to have her baby home

Each time that I come home she says the same
"C'mon home, you're getting thin, see the state your clothes are in"
She's my mom and Catherine's her name
Gives a pound to see me straight, sits back in her chair to wait

Catherine cares
Now I know she does, oh yes she does, oh yeah
Catherine cares
Yeah, I know that I was wrong
Catherine cares
Yeah, the only thing she wants is to have her baby home

(She wants her baby home)

Catherine cares
Now I know she does, yeah I know
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know she does, oh yeah
Catherine cares
Catherine cares
I know that I was selfish to you, selfish to you, my mom
Catherine cares
Please forgive me...

Fool Hearted Memory


Fool Hearted Memory
Composer(s): Blake Mevis; David Wills
Performer(s): George Strait



Nickels and dimes
Memories and wines
She's on his mind once again
The same old fool
The same old stool
Played by the rules but didn't win
There's an old love in his heart that he can't lose
He tried forgetting but he knows that it's no use

He's got a fool hearted memory
That won't let him see
That she walked out the door
He's got a fool hearted memory
He sits patiently
Here every night so it can fool him more

She was his girl
His only world
That string of pearls that slipped away
A thousand dimes
A thousand times
He doesn't mind what they say
He fills the jukebox
And plays the same old song
He fills his glass
And then he turns her memory on

He's got a fool hearted memory
That won't let him see
That she walked out the door
He's got a fool hearted memory
He sits patiently
Here every night so it can fool him more

He's got a fool hearted memory
That won't let him see
That she walked out the door
He's got a fool hearted memory
He sits patiently
Here every night so it can fool him more
