Jumping Someone Else's Train
Jumping Someone Else's Train
Composer(s): Michael Dempsey;
Robert Smith; Lol Tolhurst
Performer(s): The Cure;
and various other artists
Don't say what you mean
You might spoil your face
If you walk in the crowd
You won't leave any trace
It's always the same
You're jumping someone else's train
It won't take you long
To learn the new smile
You'll have to adapt
Or you'll be out of style
It's always the same
You're jumping someone else's train
If you pick up on it quick
You can say you were there
Again and again and again
You're jumping someone else's train
It's the latest wave
That you've been craving for
The old ideal
Was getting such a bore
Now you're back in line
Going not quite quite as far
But in half the time
Everyone's happy
They're finally all the same
'cause everyone's jumping
Everyone else's train
Jumping someone else's train
Jumping someone else's train
Jumping someone else's train

Performer(s): Van Halen
Some friends of mine, just the other night
went to hear this cool cat blow
They say he sang so good that the roof fell in
and they didn't even stop the show
They don't remember the place, but they remember the face
and now everybody wanna go
Top Jimmy cooks, Top Jimmy swings
He's got the look
Top Jimmy, he's the king
Jimmy on the television, famous people laughing with him
Jimmy on the news at five
Jimmy on the radio and even on the video
that baddest cat alive
Driving all the women crazy, only want Jimmy-baby
love it when he rolls his eyes
Top Jimmy cooks, Top Jimmy swings
He's got the look
Top Jimmy, he's the king
Juke-joint Jimmy is the latest thing
he's got the sound that everybody digs
And the joint been jumpin' when the band been pumpin'
and you know they're playing crazy gigs
Well you ain't been living till you've seen the living thing
Top Jimmy and his Rhythm Pigs
Top Jimmy cooks, Top Jimmy swings
He's got the look

I Know Why (And So Do You)
Composer(s): Harry Warren; Mack Gordon
Performer(s): Glenn Miller
and multiple other artists
Why do robins sing in December
Long before the Springtime is due
And even though it's snowing, violets are growing
I know why and so do you
Why do breezes sigh ev'ry evening
Whispering your name as they do
And why have I the feeling stars are on my ceiling
I know why and so do you
When you smile at me
I hear gypsy violins
When you dance with me
I'm in heaven when the music begins
I can see the sun when it's raining
Hiding ev'ry cloud from my view
And why do I see rainbows when you're in my arms
I know why and so do you

Top Hat, White Tie And Tails
Top Hat, White Tie And Tails
Composer(s): Irving Berlin
First performance/First recording: Fred Astaire - 1935
Covered by multiple other artists
I just got an invitation through the mails
"Your presence requested this evening
It's formal, a top hat, a white tie and tails"
Nothing now could take the wind out of my sails
Because I'm invited to step out this evening
With top hat and white tie and tails
I'm putting on my top hat
Tying up my white tie
Brushing off my tails
I'm duding up my shirtfront
Putting in the shirt studs
Polishing my nails
I'm stepping out, my dear
To breathe an atmosphere
That simply reeks with class
And I trust that you'll excuse my dust
When I step on the gas
For I'll be there
Putting down my top hat
Mussing up my white tie
Dancing in my tails

I Know Where I'm Going
I Know Where I'm Going
(Traditional)
I know where I'm going
I know who's going with me
I know who I love
And my dear knows who I'll marry
I know where I'm going
I know who's going with me
I know who I love
And my dear knows who I'll marry
I have stockings of silk
And shoes of bright green leather
Combs to buckle my hair
And a ring for every finger
I know where I'm going
I know who's going with me
I know who I love
And my dear knows who I'll marry
Feather beds are soft
And painted rooms are bonnie
But I would give them all
For my handsome winsome Johnny
I know where I'm going
I know who's going with me
I know who I love
And my dear knows who I'll marry
Some say he is poor
But I say he's bonnie
Fairest of them all
Is my handsome winsome Johnny
I know where I'm going
I know who's going with me
I know who I love
And my dear knows who I'll marry

Jumpin' Jack Flash
Composer(s): Mick Jagger; Keith Richards
Performer(s): The Rolling Stones
I was born in a cross-fire hurricane
And I howled at my ma in the driving rain
But it's all right now, in fact, it's a gas!
But it's all right
I'm Jumpin' Jack Flash
It's a gas!
Gas! Gas!
I was raised by a toothless, bearded hag
I was schooled with a strap right across my back
But it's all right now, in fact, it's a gas!
But it's all right
I'm Jumpin' Jack Flash
It's a gas!
Gas! Gas!
I was drowned, I was washed up and left for dead
I fell down to my feet and I saw they bled
I frowned at the crumbs of a crust of bread
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I was crowned with a spike right thru my head
But it's all right now, in fact, it's a gas!
But it's all right
I'm Jumpin' Jack Flash
It's a gas!
Gas! Gas!
Jumpin' Jack Flash, it's a gas
Jumpin' Jack Flash, it's a gas
Jumpin' Jack Flash, it's a gas
Jumpin' Jack Flash, it's a gas

I Know What I Want
Composer(s): Rick Nielsen
Performer(s): Cheap Trick
I've been around the world and met a million girls
Still, I know I wanna be with you
You've got more than anyone else
And I want you more than anything
'cause I know what I want, and I know how to get it
I know what I want, and I know how to get it
I know what I want, and I know how to get it from you, from you
I knew I'd meet you, I had a dream about you
We were walkin' hand in hand
We were talkin' 'bout love
It was love at first sight
When I looked into your eyes
I was blinded by the feelings in my heart
'cause I know what I want, and I know how to get it
I know what I want, and I know how to get it
I know what I want, and I know how to get it from you, from you
I know, I know, I know, I know what I want!
I know what I want!
I want it!
Well, ya knew I'd meet you
Ya know I dreamt about you
We were walkin' hand in hand
We were talkin' 'bout love
Love at first sight, when I looked into your eyes
I was blinded by the feelings in my heart
I know you feel it, there's no doubt about it
It's gettin' stronger every day
It's a one in a million, I was shootin' for the stars
You're the world's greatest lover and you're mine
'cause I know what I want, and I know how to get it
I know what I want, and I know how to get it
I know what I want, and I know how to get it from you, from you
I know what I want, and I know how to get it

Jumping At Shadows

Performer(s): Fleetwood Mac;
and various other artists
Now, what can you say - there isn't much to tell
But I'm going down hill, but I blame myself
I've been - jumpin' at shadows, thinkin' - about my life
Now, everybody - they point their hand at me
but I know I'm just a picture - of what I could have been
I've been jumping at shadows, thinkin' about my life
Now, God, have mercy - 'cause I think I'm going insane
The devil's been gettin' at me - he's got me down again
I've been - jumpin' at shadows
Thinkin', oh, about my life

Ruthless People
Ruthless People
((aka Toothless People ("Weird Al" Yankovic) - 1986))
Composer(s): Daryl Hall - Mick Jagger - Dave Stewart
First release: Mick Jagger - 1986
Hey! Stand up! Ruthless people!
Hey! Stand up! Ruthless people! Real and evil!
They love the smell of the killing, the flesh
Gorging 'til they've had their fill of success
Dealing their mother to get into paradise
Pay Jesus special protection, and ain't it wise!
Hey! Stand up! Ruthless people!
So deceitful! I wanna tell you...
Hey! (Come on! ) Stand up!... Get on your feet!
Ruthless people! Real and evil! What I say...
Greedy forever and ever, success
Greedy and ever so clever, a mess
Given the right on to creep into paradise
They'll even blackmail St. Peter then pay the price!
Hey! Stand up!... Get on your feet!
Ruthless people! Greed and evil! Oh yes!
You can have it if you want it
It might take the rest of your life
If you want it you can have it
To a balancing act on a knife
You can have it if you want it
If you think it's cheap at the price
If you want it you can have it
But sweat your sweet soul out of lives!
Ruthless people!
Ruthless people!
Ruthless people!
Ruthless people!
You better watch your back now!
Hey!
Ruthless people!
Ruthless, ruthless, ruthless, ruthless people!
Hey! Stand up!

First release by: Frida - 1982
Covered by multiple other artists
I can see that it won't be long
You grow cold when you keep holding on
You know you've changed and your words, they lie
That's something you can't deny
I call, you're not at home
You're home, but you're not alone
If you wanna leave then why don't you say
Your love has gone anyway
I Know there's something going on
I Know there's something going on
I know it won't be long
Won't be long before you're gone
There's something going on
There's something going on
I know a good thing must come to an end
But it's hard to take loosing a friend
I know what you think and what's in your mind
So darling look, why pretend
I know there's something going on...

Performer(s): "Weird Al" Yankovic - 1986
They only show you their gums when they smile
Ain't got a tooth in their heads now, how vile
Only can eat things like pudding and applesauce
They never have to buy toothpicks or dental floss
Hey, stand up
Toothless people, their breath is lethal, wanna tell you
Hey, come on, stand up, get on your feet
Toothless people, old and feeble, what I say
No more of those pearly whites will they possess
Their oral hygiene is frightful, a mess
Lots of 'em suffering from trench mouth and gum disease
At least they don't have to worry 'bout cavities
Hey, stand up, take out your teeth
Toothless people, old and feeble, oh yes
You can brush 'em, you can floss 'em
They're something you just can't ignore
If you lose 'em, you're in trouble
'Cause the tooth fairy won't come no more
You need something to show your dentist
The next time he makes you say "Ah"
You don't wanna have to wind up
Eating all of your food through a straw
(Like toothless people, toothless people)
You'd better brush your teeth now (hey)
Toothless, toothless, toothless, toothless people
Hey, stand up, toothless people

Life's a game, but who can play it all alone
Ev'ry chap should hold a heart that's all his own

When I found you
So, darling, I know that you know
That I'll go where you go
I choose you, won't lose you
I wish you knew how much I long to hold you in my arms
This time is my time
T'will soon be goodbye time
Then in the star light, hold me tight
With one more little kiss say nighty night
So, darling, I know that you know
That I'll go where you go
I choose you, won't lose you
I wish you knew how much I long to hold you in my arms

Performer(s): Rick Derringer; Edgar Winter
I'm thinkin' of jumpin' off a bridge
'Cause life has gotten down
Can't think of one reason to live
I guess I'll probably drown
I might as well jump, jump, jump
Think I'm gonna jump, jump, jump
The girls nowadays they all boss me around
You know I get less than their dogs
Pointless, and meaningless my friend
You know we're all lost,
In the fog
We might as well jump, jump, jump
The water's cold
I think I'm gonna jump, jump, jump
The water's cold
Everybody jump, jump, jump
I'll freeze,
My very soul
I wonder is anybody here
Or is this my private dream
I'm gonna pitch myself to sea
'Cause it's such a scary, scary, scary dream
I might as well jump, jump, jump
The water's cold
I think I'm gonna jump, jump, jump
The water's cold
Everybody jump, jump, jump
I''ll freeze

Performer(s): Woody Guthrie - 1940
and multiple other artists
Tom Joad got out of the old McAlester Pen
There he got his parole
After four long years on a man killing charge
Tom Joad come a walking down the road, poor boy
Tom Joad come a walking down the road
Tom Joad he met a truck driving man
There he caught him a ride He said
"I just got loose from McAlester's Pen On a charge called Homicide, A charge called Homicide"
That truck rolled away in a cloud of dust
Tommy turned his face toward home
He met Preacher Casey and they had a little drink
But they found that his family they was gone
He found that his family they was gone
He found his mother's old fashion shoe
Found his daddy's hat
And he found little Muley and Muley said
"They've been tractored out by the cats
They've been tractored out by the cats"
Tom Joad walked down to the neighbors farm
Found his family
They took Preacher Casey and loaded in a car
And his mother said "We got to git away"
His mother said 'We got to get away"
Now the twelve of the Joads made a mighty heavy load
But Grandpa Joad did cry
He picked up a handful of land in his hand
Said: "I'm stayin' with the farm till I die
Yes, I'm stayin' with my farm till I die"
They fed him short ribs and coffee and soothing syrup
And Grandpa Joad did die
They buried Grandpa Joad by the side of the road
Buried Grandma on the California side
They buried Grandma on the California side
They stood on a Mountain and they looked to the West
And it looked like the promised land
That bright green valley with a river running through
There was work for every single hand, they thought
There was work for every single hand
The Joads rolled away to Jungle Camp
There they cooked a stew
And the hungry little kids of the Jungle Camp Said
"We'd like to have some too"
Said: "We'd like to have some too"
Now a Deputy Sheriff fired loose at a man
Shot a woman in the back
Before he could take his aim again
Preacher Casey dropped him in his track
Preacher Casey dropped him in his track
They handcuffed Casey and they took him to Jail
And then he got away
And he met Tom Joad on the old river bridge
And these few words he did say, poor boy
These few words he did say
"I preached for the Lord a mighty long time
Preached about the rich and the poor
Us workin' folks got to all get together
'Cause we ain't got a chance anymore
We ain't got a chance anymore"
The Deputies come and Tom and Casey run
To the bridge where the water run down
But the vigilante they hit Casey with a club
They laid Preacher Casey on the ground
They laid Preacher Casey on the ground
Tom Joad he grabbed that Deputy's club
Hit him over the head
Tom Joad took flight in the dark rainy night
A Deputy and a Preacher lying dead, two men
A Deputy and a Preacher lying dead
Tom run back where his mother was asleep
He woke her up out of bed
Then he kissed goodbye to the mother that he loved
Said what Preacher Casey said, Tom Joad
He said what Preacher Casey said
"Ever'body might be just one big soul
Well it looks that a way to me
Everywhere that you look in the day or night
That's where I'm gonna be, Ma
That's where I'm gonna be
Wherever little children are hungry and cry
Wherever people ain't free
Wherever men are fightin' for their rights
That's where I'm gonna be, Ma
That's where I'm a gonna be

I Know That My Redeemer Lives
I Know That My Redeemer Lives
Composer(s): Lewis D. Edwards; Samuel Medley
I know that my Redeemer lives!
What comfort this sweet sentence gives!
He lives, he lives, who once was dead
He lives, my ever living head!
He lives triumphant from the grave
He lives eternally to save
He lives exalted, throned above
He lives to rule his Church in love
He lives to grant me rich supply
He lives to guide me with his eye
He lives to comfort me when faint
He lives to hear my soul’s complaint
He lives to silence all my fears
He lives to wipe away my tears
He lives to calm my troubled heart
He lives all blessings to impart
He lives to bless me with his love
He lives to plead for me above
He lives my hungry soul to feed
He lives to help in time of need
He lives, my kind, wise, heavenly friend
He lives and loves me to the end
He lives, and while he lives, I’ll sing
He lives, my Prophet, Priest, and King!
He lives and grants me daily breath
He lives, and I shall conquer death
He lives my mansion to prepare
He lives to bring me safely there
He lives, all glory to his name!
He lives, my savior, still the same
What joy this blest assurance gives
I know that my Redeemer lives!
