Rock On
Rock On
Composer(s): David Essex
Performer(s): David Essex
Hey kids rock and roll
Rock on, ooh my soul
Hey kids boogey too, did ya
Hey shout, summertime blues
Jump up and down in my blue suede shoes
Hey kids rock and roll, rock on
And where do we go from here?
Which is the way that's clear
Still looking for that blue jean, baby queen
Prettiest girl I've ever seen
See her shake on the movie screen, Jimmy Dean
James Dean, rock on

The Village Of St. Bernadette
The Village Of St. Bernadette
Composer(s): Eula Parker
Performer(s): Andy Williams; Jack Jones; Vera Lynn
I've travelled far, the land and the sea
Beautiful places I happened to be
One little town I'll never forget
Is Lourdes, the village of St. Bernadette
Ave, ave, ave Ma-ri-a
Ave, ave, ave Ma-ri-i-ia
There, like a dream, this wonderful night
I gazed at the grotto aglow in the light
A feeling divine swept over me there
I fell to my knees as I whispered the prayer
Ave, ave, ave Ma-ri-a
Ave, ave, ave Ma-ri-i-ia
Now I am home, I'm happy to be
Telling of places I've travelled to see
One little town I'll never forget
Is Lourdes, the village of St. Bernadette
Ave, ave, ave Ma-ri-a
Ave, ave, ave Ma-ri-i-ia
Ave, ave, ave Ma-ri-a
Ave, ave, ave Ma-ri-a

Rock Of Faith
Rock Of Faith
Composer(s): Clive Nolan; John Wetton
Performer(s): John Wetton
Sanctuary
When all hope deserted me
This will forever, always be
Something so close to me
My Rock of Faith
Pulling me
Like the heat of the sun
Calling to Mercury
Now till eternity
Before my eye
I’ll never stand alone, for I
Have the foundation stone I knew
So as my spirits rise anew
Then with all speed
To the path
That will lead
Surely back to You……
Strangely now
How the air’s getting cold
Shadows appear on the wall
The feeling of old
Lifting me up again
My Rock of Faith
And if I start to fall
I fear nothing at all…

The Very Thought Of You
The Very Thought Of You
((French Version: Obsession (Julien Clerc) - 2003))
Composer(s): Ray Noble
First release by: Ray Noble and His Orch. - 1934
Covered by multiple other artists
The very thought of you and I forget to do
The little ordinary things that everyone ought to do
I'm living in a kind of daydream
I'm happy as a king
And foolish though it may seem
To me that's everything
The mere idea of you, the longing here for you
You'll never know how slow the moments go till I'm near to you
I see your face in every flower
Your eyes in stars above
It's just the thought of you
The very thought of you, my love
The mere idea of you, the longing here for you
You'll never know how slow the moments go till I'm near to you
I see your face in every flower
Your eyes in stars above
It's just the thought of you
The very thought of you, my love

Was misery for company
Memories of a love gone wrong
That keep Coming On Strong [Coming On Strong]

Rock 'N Roller
Rock 'N Roller
Composer(s): Eric Faulkner; Stuart "Woody" Wood
Performer(s): Bay City Rollers; Nixon's Head
I get my kicks from rock and roll
A 12 bar boogie gonna bless my soul
Wanna dance to that rhythm
Get down to that rockin' beat
I don't wanna play no heavy jazz
With high class music
And its stuffed shirt nights
'Cos I wanna be a rock 'n roll star
And make my money out of playin' guitar
*'Cos I'm a rock and roller
I'm gonna rock it, gonna roll all over
I'm gonna shake it to the midnight stroller
And rock the night away
*repeat
I don't wanna play no Memphis soul
I don't want funk - just rock and roll
Gonna dance to the rhythm get down to that rockin' beat
Make my name in the headline news
There I'm busted singin' the blues
I must find myself a rock 'n roll band
I'll play my music just as fast as I can
*chorus
Okay people
Get your rockin' shoes on
Stroll us with the
Rock and roller
Rock and Roller
yes I'm a rock and roller
Yes I'm a rock and roller
*chorus

The Vegetarian
The Vegetarian
Composer(s): Leslie Bricusse
Dolittle:
The Day That I Became A Vet'rinarian
I Had A Sudden Overwhelming Wish
To Be A Pure And Simple Vegetarian
And Give Up Eating All That Meat And Fish
Tommy
I Think That's Marvellous!
Matthew
Meat's Very Unhealthy For You!
Dolittle
Yes...
So Now I Live On Healthy Food Instead!
Like Apple Cores
And Parsnip Juice
And Chunks Of Plain Brown Bread!
When I See My Fellow Men
Consuming Sirloin Steak
And I Find Myself Enjoying Tea And Dundee Cake
There Is Really Only One Conclusion I Can Make
I'm A Devoted Vegetarian!
No, You Don't, You Little Pig! You've Had Yours! Oh All Right, Then - But Only
A Little! You See What I Mean? This Is His Tenth Meal Today!
When My Host At Dinner Offers
Succulent Roast Beef
Proudly I Refuse It
People Stare In Disbelief
Lost In Admiration As I Nibble On A Leaf
A Very Noted Vegetarian!
I Don't Even Eat Horseradish, In Case I Upset The Horses!
I Stay Away From Devilled Ham On Principle!
I Wouldn't Eat Roast Duckling If I Could!
Will Power Has Made Me Invincible!...
My Word, Those Sausages Do Look Good!
Turnip Pie And Peanuts
That's The Sort Of Filth I Eat!
Any Sort Of Rubbish
That Is Wholesome And Discreet!
Why Don't I Admit That My Hypocrisy's Complete?
If I Should Live To Be A Centenarian
Become Our Most Adored Humanitarian
I'll Never Make A Decent Vegetarian!
I'm A Cheat!
I Love Meat
I'm A Cheat
Yes, I Am!
I Love Red-Blooded Juicy Chunks Of Meat!
Legs Of Lamb!
Sides Of Beef 'N' Chops 'N' Steak 'N' Veal!
And Pork, Of Course! - My Favourite Meal!
And Then I Hear Poor Gub-Gub Squeal!
Oh Me! Oh My!
A Reluctant But Sincere Vegetarian
Am I!

The Vegetable Song (The Barnyard Dance)
The Vegetable Song (The Barnyard Dance)
Composer(s): Carl Martin
Performer(s): Steve Goodman
It was late one nite by the pale moonlight
all the vegetables gave a spree
they put out a sign that said the dancing's at nine
and all the admission was free
there was peas and greens and cabbage and beans
it was the biggest crowd you ever did see
and when mister cucumber struck up that number
you should have heard those vegetables screams
Oh little turnip top was doin' the backwards flop
the cabbage is doin' the shimmy, she couldn't stop
the little red beet shook its feet
and the watermelon died of the cockeyed heat
little tomato, agitator, shook the shimmy with the sweet potato
and old man garlic dropped dead of the colic
down at the barnyard dance
late this morning
down at the barnyard dance
Oh little turnip top was doin' the backwards flop
the cabbage is doin' the shimmy, she couldn't stop
the little red beet shook its feet
and the watermelon died of the cockeyed heat
Little tomato, agitator, shook the shimmy with the sweet potato
and old man garlic dropped dead of the colic
down at the barnyard dance
late this morning
down at the barnyard...
late this morning
down at the barnyard dance

Rock 'N' Roll Suicide
Rock 'N' Roll Suicide
Composer(s): David Bowie
Performer(s): David Bowie;
and various other artists
Time takes a cigarette, puts it in your mouth
You pull on your finger
then another finger, then your cigarette
The wall-to-wall is calling, it lingers, then you forget
Ohhh, you're a rock 'n' roll suicide
You're too old to lose it, too young to choose it
And the clocks waits so patiently on your song
You walk past a cafe but you don't eat when you've lived too long
Oh, no, no, no, you're a rock 'n' roll suciide
Chev brakes are snarling as you stumble across the road
But the day breaks instead so you hurry home
Don't let the sun blast your shadow
Don't let the milk float ride your mind
They're so natural - religiously unkind
Oh no love! you're not alone
You're watching yourself but you're too unfair
You got your head all tangled up but if I could only make you care
Oh no love! you're not alone
No matter what or who you've been
No matter when or where you've seen
All the knives seem to lacerate your brain
I've had my share, I'll help you with the pain
You're not alone
Just turn on with me and you're not alone
Let's turn on with me and you're not alone
Let's turn on and be not alone
Gimme your hands 'cause you're wonderful
Gimme your hands 'cause you're wonderful
Oh gimme your hands

The Vegetable Song
The Vegetable Song
Composer(s): Bob Mitchell
Ladies and gentleman
as far as I know there’s never been a love song written for those courageous hard working tillers of the soil that feed our Nation
To those down to earth beings this song is dedicated
I’ve a got a garden in my heart
That Mushrooms with love
Whenever you Turnip
So nothing maters to me
If it’s Okra with you
Lettuce never Squash our love
And how I Radish
The thought of Beans with you
And how my Artichoke skips a beet
Nothing maters to me
If it’s Okra with you
Lettuce never Squash our love
It’s just an old fashioned Vegetable Song folks comin’ down in two beet harmony
It takes Parsley you and Parsley me
To make Asparagus
So if Cucumber to me my Melon Collard baby
I’ll Carrot your heart
And how I’ll Radish
The thought of beans with you
And how my Artichoke skips a beet
Nothing Maters to me
If it’s Okra with you
Lettuce never Squash our love
Lettuce never Squash our love

Comin' Back To Me
Comin' Back To Me
Composer(s): Marty Balin
First release by: Jefferson Airplane
The summer had inhaled
And held its breath too long
The winter looked the same
As if it had never gone
And through an open window
Where no curtain hung
I saw you, I saw you
Coming back to me
One begins to read between
The pages of a look
The sound of sleepy music
And suddenly, you're hooked
I saw you, I saw you
Coming back to me
You came to stay and live my way
Scatter my love like leaves in the wind
You always say that you won't go away
But I know what it always has been
It always has been
A transparent dream
Beneath an occasional sigh...
Most of the time
I just let it go by
Now I wish it hadn't begun
I saw you, I saw you
Coming back to me
Strolling the hill
Overlooking the shore
I realize I've been here before
The shadow in the mist
Could have been anyone
I saw you, I saw you
Coming back to me
Small things like reasons
Are put in a jar
Whatever happened to wishes
Wished on a star?
Was it just something
That I made up for fun?
I saw you, I saw you
Coming back to me

Rock 'N' Roll Singer
Rock 'N' Roll Singer
Composer(s): Bon Scott; Angus Young; Malcolm Young
Performer(s): AC/DC;
The Glasspack; Mark Kozelek
My Daddy was workin' nine to five
When my Momma was havin' me
By the time I was half alive
I knew what I was gonna be
I left school and grew my hair
They didn't understand
They wanted me to be respected as
A doctor or a lawyer man
(But I had other plans)
Gonna be a rock 'n' roll singer
Gonna be a rock 'n' roll star
Gonna be a rock 'n' roll singer
I'm gonna be a rock 'n' roll
A rock 'n' roll star
Well I worked real hard and bought myself
A rock 'n' roll guitar
I gotta be on top some day
I wanna be a star
I can see my name in lights
And I can see the queue
I got the devil in my blood
Tellin' me what to do
(And I'm all ears)
Gonna be a rock 'n' roll singer
Gonna be a rock 'n' roll star
Gonna be a rock 'n' roll singer
I'm gonna be a rock 'n' roll
a rock 'n' roll star
(I hear it pays well)
Well you can stick your nine to five livin'
And your collar and your tie
And stick your moral standards
'Cause it's all a dirty lie
You can stick your golden handshake
And you can stick your silly rules
And all the other shit
That they teach to kids in school
('Cause I ain't no fool)
Gonna be a rock 'n' roll singer
Gonna be a rock 'n' roll star
Gonna be a rock 'n' roll singer
I'm gonna be a rock 'n' roll
A rock 'n' roll star
Gonna be a rock 'n' roll singer
Gonna be a rock 'n' roll star
Gonna be a rock 'n' roll singer
I'm gonna be a rock 'n' roll
A rock 'n' roll star
Yes I are!

The Vatican Rag
The Vatican Rag
Composer(s): Tom Lehrer
Performer(s): Tom Lehrer
Another big news story of the year concerned the ecumenical council in Rome, known as Vatican II
Among the things they did, in an attempt to make the church more... commercial
was to introduce the vernacular into portions of the Mass to replace Latin
and to widen somewhat the range of music permissible in the liturgy
But I feel that if they really want to sell the product in this secular age
what they ought to do is to redo some of the liturgical music in popular song forms
I have a modest example here; it's called The Vatican Rag!
First you get down on your knees
Fiddle with your rosaries
Bow your head with great respect
And genuflect, genuflect, genuflect!
Do whatever steps you want if
You have cleared them with the Pontiff
Everybody say his own
Kyrie eleison
Doin' the Vatican Rag
Get in line in that processional
Step into that small confessional
There the guy who's got religion'll
Tell you if your sin's original
If it is, try playin' it safer
Drink the wine and chew the wafer
Two, four, six, eight
Time to transubstantiate!
So get down upon your knees
Fiddle with your rosaries
Bow your head with great respect
And genuflect, genuflect, genuflect!
Make a cross on your abdomen
When in Rome do like a Roman
Ave Maria
Gee, it's good to see ya
Gettin' ecstatic an' sorta dramatic an'
Doin' the Vatican
Rag!

Coming Back To Life
Coming Back To Life
Composer(s): David Gilmour
Performer(s): Pink Floyd
and various other artists
Where were you when I was burned and broken
While the days slipped by from my window watching
Where were you when I was hurt and I was helpless
Because the things you say and the things you do surround me
While you were hanging yourself on someone else’s words
Dying to believe in what you heard
I was staring straight into the shining sun
Lost in thought and lost in time
While the seeds of live and the seeds of change were planted
Outside the rain fell dark and slow
While I pondered on this dangerous but
I took a heavenly ride through one silence
I knew the moment had arrived
For killing the past and coming back to life
I took a heavenly ride trough our silence
I knew the waiting had begin
And headed straight... into the shining sun
