Forever
Composer(s): Brian Holland;
Lamont Dozier; Freddie Gorman
Performer(s): Brenda & The Tabulations;
and various other artists
Darlin', forever, forever
You can break my heart
Forever, if you want to
I'll play the part of a fool
Just to be with you forever
Forever, darling, forever
You can taunt me
Take my love for granted
But I'll always be just a fool
Just to be with you forever
I'll be your slave
For the rest of my days
Love you more in so many ways
Just to be with you thrills me through and through
And darlin', forever, forever
You can taunt me
Take my love for granted
But I'll always be just a fool
Just to be with you forever
Forever, forever, I'll love you so

Girl In The Wood
Girl In The Wood
Composer(s): Terry Gilkyson - Neal Stuart
Performer(s): Frankie Laine
(Remember me, remember me)
(Remember for the rest of your life)
Oh when I was a young boy
And drove my mother wild
I met a maiden in the woods
And she said, "Child,
Look deep into my green eyes
And at my autumn hair
When your a man you'll never see
A girl quite as fair
Remember me, oh, remember me"
(Remember for the rest of your life)
Her eyes were green as grassy pools
Lookin' right at me
Her hair was red and grown with leaves
Just like an autumn tree
She moved her tiny hands
And she made a litle turn
She swayed in the wind
Just like a graceful fern
I swore as she vanished
That when I was full grown
I'd have a girl just like her
To be my very own
And now I am a man
Would I'd marry if I could
For I can't lose the memory
Of the girl in the wood
Remember me oh remember me
(Remember)
Remember for the rest of your life
(Remember)
I wished a hundred times
That she'd never looked at me
With the first wild beauty
That only you can't see
For man cannot find it
When he's lookin for a wife
And he'll end up in bachelorhood
The rest of his life
Remember me, oh, remember me
Remember for the rest of your life
Remember me, remember me
Remember for the rest of your life

Celle Que J'oublie
Celle Que J'oublie
Composer(s): J.M. Rivat
Performer(s): Joe Dassin
Il est temps que je te quitte
Notre amour s'en est allé
Couché près de toi je n'ai plus que sommeil
Mais tes yeux se font plus tendres
Tu ne sembles pas comprendre
Que tu n'as plus rien à faire dans ma vie
Aujourd'hui tu n'es que celle que j'oublie
C'est fini, je fais peau neuve
Quand je partirai demain
Tu seras une lumiere qui s'éteint
Toi qui étais mon Espagne
Toi mon pays de cocagne
Toi tu n'as plus rien à faire dans ma vie
Aujourd'hui tu n'es que celle que j'oublie

Forever (And Always)
Composer(s): Lefty Frizzell; Leslie Lyle
Performer(s): Lefty Frizzell
Forever and always my love will be true
I'd wait for a lifetime if you asked me to
You make me so happy, then leave me so blue
But I'd wait forever and always for you
Each night I pray that God above will let my dreams come true
To hear my prayer and make you care my life I'd offer you
For riches won't buy you a heart true as gold
Forever and always to have and to hold
Each night I pray that God above will let my dreams come true
To hear my prayer and make you care my life I'd offer you
For riches won't buy you a heart true as gold
Forever and always to have and to hold

The Girl In The Little Green Hat
The Girl In The Little Green Hat
Composer(s): Jack Scholl - Bradford Browne - Max Rich
Performer(s): Rudy Vallée & His Connecticut Yankees
and multiple other artists
There's a lake in the park
There's a house by the lake
There's a girl in the house in the park by the lake
And the girl in the house by the lake in the park
Is the girl in the little green hat
And tonight after eight
That's when I've got a date
When the moon's riding high and the stars light the sky
With the girl in the house by the lake in the park
The girl in the little green hat
There's no water in the lake
there's no roof upon the house
No treesies in the park at all
But she'll wait beside the lake
I'll be welcome at the house
I'll meet her by the garden wall
There's a ship on the lake
There's a sailor on the shore
There's a girl in his arms, she's the girl I adore
So goodbye to the house by the lake in the park
And the girl in the little green hat
There's a storm on the lake
There's a ship in the storm
There's a girl on the ship in the storm on the lake
And the girl in the lake on the ship in the storm
Is the girl in the little green hat
As the ship starts to dip
She is losing her grip
Every dip makes a tip, not the girl, but the ship
But the girl on the ship has the pip from the trip
The girl in the little green hat
She's been sailing quite enough
She's been clinging to the rails
She's been dying to be home once more
'Cause the lake is rather rough
And the girl is rather pale
She's glad to get her feet on shore
Ah, she gave up the ship
And the captain and his men
Bought a round ticket trip to my arms once again
Now I'm back in the park at the house by the lake
With the girl in the little green hat

Cell Of Fame
Cell Of Fame
Composer(s): Andy Powell - Laurie Wisefield - Mervyn Spence - Steve Upton
Performer(s): Wishbone Ash
Isadora
Dancing
Can you see her?
Che guavara
Marching beside her
Valentino
Loving every minute?
Don’t you see them looking
Looking down on you?
Pictures on the walls of your room
Gonna help you play the parts
Of your ever changing mood
Lying low
The cast is set around your bones
When all you ever wanted to be
Was plain Mister Jones
Cell of fame
It’s gonna trap you forever
Self confessions
And your back’s against the wall
Idolized by the hands that hold the key
Not even time will set you free
When it’s your turn to leave
Hung at dawn
Then you will join up
With the faces looking on
That’s where you belong
Cell of fame
It’s gonna trap you forever
Self confessions
And your back’s against the wall

Forest For The Trees
Forest For The Trees
Composer(s): Jerome Fletcher;
Bill Gibson; Huey Lewis; Loggins
Performer(s): Huey Lewis & The News
When you're a young man, down and out
You really need someone to help you out
It looks like life or death is your only choice
It's really hard to see
The forest for the trees
The forest for the trees
And when you get angry and everything's black or white
You should know that it isn't that simple, no one's always right
You know that your life is worth living
You gotta start taking if no one else is giving
And if you're not afraid to open your eyes
You may be pleasantly surprised
Things are never as bad as they seem
You just gotta learn to see
The forest for the trees
So if you need somebody, tell them please
If you want someone, get up off your knees
Things are never as bad as they seem
You just gotta learn to see
The forest for the trees

When she goes out walking
She has the town talking
The girl in the bonnet of blue
My heart goes completely
When she smiles so sweetly

A lady of quality
Gracious and sweet
If fate is kind to me
One day we'll meet
And maybe I'll talk with
And maybe I'll walk with
The girl in the bonnet of blue
A lady of quality
Gracious and sweet
If fate is kind to me
One day we'll meet
And maybe I'll talk with
And maybe I'll walk with
The girl in the bonnet of blue

That get you down
Like Bernie
Bernie liked to chew gum
No, not chew... Pop!
So I came home this one day
And I am reAlly irritated
And looking for a little sympathy
And there's Bernie layin' on the couch
Drinkin' a beer and chewin'
No, not chewin'... Poppin'
So, I said to him
I said, "You pop that gum one more time..."
And he did.
So I took the shotgun off the wAll
And I fired two warning shots... into his head!
All:
He had it coming
He had it coming
He only had himself to blame
If you'd have been there
If you'd have heard it
I betcha you would
Have dome the same
Annie:
I met Ezekiel Young from Salt Lake city
About two years ago
And he told me he was single
And we hit it off right away
So, we started living together
He'd go to work, he'd come home
I'd fix him a drink, we'd have dinner
And then I found out
"Single" he told me?
Single, my ass!
Not only was he married
Oh, no, he had six wives!
One of those Mormons, you know
So that night, when he came home
I fixed him his drink as usual
You know, some guys just can't hold their arsenic!
All:
He had it coming
He had it coming
He took a flower
In its prime
And then he used it
And he abused it
It was a murder
But not a crime!
June:
Now, I'm standing in the kitchen
Carvin' up the chicken for dinner
Minding my own business
And in storms my husband Wilbur
In a jealous rage
"You been screwin' the milkman!" he says
He was crazy and he kept screamin'
"You been screwin the milkman!"
And then he ran into my knife
He ran into my knife ten times!
All:
If you'd have been there
If you'd have seen it
I betcha you would have done the same
Hunyak:
Mit kersek, en itt? Azt mondjok
Hogy a hires lakem lefogta
A ferjemet en meg lecsaptam a fejet
De nem igaz, en artatlan vagyok
Nem tudom mert mondja
Uncle Sam hogy en tettem
Probaltam a rendorsegen megmayarazni de nem ertettek meg
June:
Yeah, but did you do it?
Hunyak:
Uh uh! Not guilty!
Velma:
My sister, Veronica and I did this double act
And my husband, Charlie, used to travel round with us
Now, for the last number in our act
we did these 20 acrobatic tricks in a row
One, two, three, four, five... splits, spread-eagles
Back flips, flip flops, one right after the other
So this one night before the show
We're down at the hotel Cicero, the three of us, boozin'
Havin' a few laughs and we ran out of ice
So I go out to get some
I come back, open the door, and there's Veronica and Charlie
Doing Number Seventeen, the spread-eagle
Well, I was in such a state of shock
I completely blacked out, I can't remember a thing
It wasn't until later when I was washing the blood off my hands
I even knew they were dead.
Velma: They had it coming
Girls: They had it coming
Velma: They had it coming

How could you tell me that I was wrong?
Mona:
I loved Al Lipschitz more than I can possibly say
He was a real artistic guy... sensitive... a painter
But he was always trying to find himself
He'd go out every night looking for himself
And on the way he found Ruth, Gladys, Rosemary and Irving
I guess you can say we broke up because of artistic differences
He saw himself as alive and I saw him dead!
All:
The dirty bum, bum, bum, bum, bum

Forest Fire
Forest Fire
Composer(s): Dead Kennedys
Performer(s): Dead Kennedys
No junk food, just earthly goods
I ate weird berries in the woods
Now I'm seeing colors
I'm getting higher
I think I'll start a forest fire
There's a forest fire climbin' the hill
Burnin' wealthy California homes
Better run run run run run
From the fire
But some of us stay and watch
And we think of your insurance cost
And we laugh laugh laugh laugh laugh laugh
At your lives
Windows covered with bars
Security guards
Is that a house or a fortress
Against the world
Windows covered with bars
Security guards
Is that a house or a prison
How you gonna get out?
Electric bull and your tennis courts
Pink sports cars and your boat
Getting fried fried fried fried fried fried
By the fire
Windows covered by bars
Floodlights for the yard
It's a pleasure to watch you
Watch it all melt
But hey!
What about the cocaine
Stockpiled in the basement
Be a hero and save it
You know you're gonna need it
Where's your brand new pretty wife
She might still be inside
Either save her or your cocaine from the fire
But the gates and doors are locked
Cause the burglar alarms went off
Ever wonder why we laugh laugh
At your lives
Windows covered with bars
Fences spiked with barbed wire
Never looked so helpless
Engulfed in flames
Cameras watchin' the walls
Don't forget the dogs
Now you're trapped in your prison
How you gonna get out
See the gerbil
Run run run run run run run run
Run run run run run run run run
Run run run run run run run run
From the fire

Girl In The Blue Velvet Band
Girl In The Blue Velvet Band
Composer(s): Cliff Carlisle - Mel Foree
Performer(s): Bill Monroe
and multiple other artists
One evening while out for a ramble
The hour was just about nine
I met a young maiden in 'Frisco
On the corner of Cherry and Pine
On her face there was beauty of nature
And her eyes seem to expand
Her hair was so rich and so brilliant
Entwined in a blue velvet band
We strolled down the long street together
In my pocket she placed a small hand
She Planted the evidence on me
A diamond that was worth ten grand
Then I heard the wild scream of the sirens
And the girl in the blue velvet band
She left me to face all the troubles
With a diamond that was worth ten grand
They sent me to San Quenton for stealin'
God knows I'm an innocent man
For the guilty one now she lies dyin'
That girl in the blue velvet band
Last night while bedtime was ringin'
I was standin' close to the bars
I fancied I could hear her voice callin'
From far out on the ocean of stars
I'll be out in a week then I'm leavin'
But I'll carry the name of a man
Who spent ten years in this prison
For the girl in the blue velvet band
Last night while bedtime was ringin'
I was standin' close to the bars
I fancied I could hear her voice callin'
From far out on the ocean of stars

Dis moi, Céline, les années ont passé
Pourquoi n'as tu jamais pensé à te marier?
De tout' mes sœurs qui vivaient ici
Tu es la seule sans mari
Non, non, non, ne rougis pas, non, ne rougis pas
Tu as, tu as toujours de beaux yeux
Ne rougis pas, non, ne rougis pas
Tu aurais pu rendre un homme heureux
Dis moi, Céline, toi qui es notre aînée
Toi qui fus notre mèr', toi qui l'as remplacée
N'as tu vécu pour nous autrefois
Que sans jamais penser à toi?
Non, non, non, ne rougis pas, non, ne rougis pas
Tu as, tu as toujours de beaux yeux
Ne rougis pas, non, ne rougis pas
Tu aurais pu rendre un homme heureux
Dis moi, Céline, qu'est il donc devenu
Ce gentil fiancé qu'on n'a jamais revu?
Est c' pour ne pas nous abandonner
Que tu l'as laissée s'en aller?
Non, non, non, ne rougis pas, non, ne rougis pas
Tu as, tu as toujours de beaux yeux
Ne rougis pas, non, ne rougis pas
Tu aurais pu rendre un homme heureux
Mais non, Céline, ta vie n'est pas perdue
Nous sommes les enfants que tu n'as jamais eus
Il y a longtemps que je le savais
Et je ne l'oublierai jamais
Ne pleure pas, non, ne pleure pas
Tu as toujours les yeux d'autrefois
Ne pleure pas, non, ne pleure pas
Nous resterons toujours près de toi
Nous resterons toujours près de toi

It's been such a long time
I think I should be goin', yeah
And time doesn't wait for me, it keeps on rollin'

I've gotta be on my way

The Girl I Loved Out In The Golden West
The Girl I Loved Out In The Golden West
Composer(s): Charles Avril - C.H. Scoggins
Twilight shadows come and go
In the evening's sunset glow
And the birds are singing goodnight in the dell
And I hear the robin trill
In its nest beneath the hill
Singing melodies my sad heart knows so well
While I listen in the glow
Of pale moon rising slow
I hear a voice of one I long best
Tho' she left me long before
Yet I see her as of yore
The girl I loved out in the golden west
Just like children running wild
For no care our world defiled
And our laughter echoed load among the hills
And we rambled in the dell
Near the spot I loved so well
When I think of her my heart with sadness fills
For one day down by the brook
'Neath a cool and shady nook
She laid her golden head upon my breast
It was there her first sweet kiss
Filled my raptured soul with bliss
The girl I loved out in the golden west
Once again I feel the spell
But no words of mine can tell
I can see her grave beneath the mountain crest
And I'm keeping green the place
Where tonight I see the face
Of the girl I loved out in the golden west

Sont trois jeunes garçons
S'en allant à la guerre

Tout droit en regrettant
Tout droit en regrettant
Bien leurs maîtresses
Le plus jeune des trois
Regrettait bien la sienne
Regrettait bien la sienne
Et il a bien raison
C'est la plus jolie fille
De tous les environs
Le bon soldat s'en va
Trouver son capitaine
"Bonjour, mon capitaine
Donnez-moi mon congé
Pour allez voir Céline
Qui ne fait que pleurer..."
Son capitaine répond
Comme un homme de guerre
Ton joli passeport
Va t'en, va voir ta fille
Tu reviendras d'abord
Puis le galant s'en va
Au château de son père
"Bonjour mon père, ma mère
Bonjour mes chers parents
Sans oublier Céline
Que mon cœur aime tant"
Son père lui répond
"Mais ta Céline est morte
Mais ta Céline est morte
Est morte en t'appelant
Son corps est dans la terre
Son âme, au Paradis"
Puis le galant s'en va
Pleurer dessus sa tombe
"Céline, ma Céline
Parle, parle, parle-moi!
Mon cœur se désespère
De jamais plus te voir..."
Céline lui répond
"Ma bouche est pleine de terre
Ma bouche est pleine de terre...
La tienne est pleine d'amour!
Je garde l'espérance
De te revoir un jour..."
Le bon soldat s'en va
Trouver son capitaine
"Bonjour, mon capitaine!
Me voici de retour
Puisque Céline est morte
Je servirai toujours..."

Foreign Sand
Foreign Sand
Composer(s): Roger Taylor; Yoshiki
Performer(s): Roger Taylor
Here we go - ain't it grand
Here we stand on foreign sand
And we're not alone
Why do we fear what we don't understand
Can't we reach out our hand to try just say 'hello'
Try to plant a seed - fulfil the need - to make it grow - just say hello
And when you're far from home try to learn from all you see
Your eyes will tell you everything you need
Why do we dread what we really don't know
Come not as concubine - come not as foe
Come with intentions clearly shown
Try to plant a seed - fulfil the need - to make it grow - just say
hello
And though you're far from home try to learn from all you see
Your mind will tell you everything you need - everything you need
Here we go ain't it grand
Here we stand on foreign sand
And we're not alone
Red, yellow, black and white
Every man stand in the light - stand not alone
It's not a lie - it's not a shame we play for keeps - it's not a scam
No bigotry - we're hand in hand - it ain't a cinch - we make a stand
We learn to live on foreign sand
Just say hello
Why do we despise when we can't even speak
We keep on spreading lies
As far as we know it's the only way to be
Try to plant a seed - fulfil the need - to make it grow - just say
hello
And though you're far from home try to learn what you could be
Your heart will tell you everything you need
even though you stand here you stand on foreign sand
Ain't it grand here we stand
On foreign sand
Together we stand
Here we stand
On foreign sand

Celia
Celia
Composer(s): Phil Ochs
Performer(s): Phil Ochs
When the wind from the island is rollin' through the trees
When a kiss from a prison cell is carried in the breeze
That's when I wonder how sad a man can be
Oh, when will Celia come to me?
I still remember the mountains of the war
Sierra Madre and the Philipino shore
When will I lie beside my Celia 'neath the trees?
Oh, when will Celia come to me?
So many years were stolen, so many years are gone
And the vision of my Celia make dreams to dream upon
Each hour is a day filled with memories
Oh, when will Celia come to me?
I wake each morning and I watch the sun arise
Wonder if my Celia sleeps, wonder if she cries
If hate must be my prison lock, love must be the key
Oh, when will Celia come to me?
The guns have stopped their firing, you may wander through the hills
They kept my Celia through the war, they keep her from me still
She waits upon island now, a prisoner of the sea
Oh, when will Celia come to me?
When the wind from the island is rolling through the trees
When a kiss from a prison cell is carried in the breeze
That's when I wonder how sad a man can be
Oh, when will Celia come to me?
Oh, when will Celia come to me?
