I Might Have Been Queen


I Might Have Been Queen
Composer(s): Rupert Hine; Jamie West-Oram
Performer(s): Tina Turner



I’m a new pair of eyes everytime I am born
An original mind because I just died
And I’m scanning the horizon
For someone recognizing that I might have been queen
For every sun that sets there is a new one dawning
For every empire crushed there is a brand new nation
Let the waters rise, I have ridden each tide
From the gates of the city where the first born died

And I might have been queen
I remember the girl in the fields with no name
She had a love
But the rivers won’t stop for me
No, the rivers won’t stop to me

I’m a new pair of eyes, an original mind
With my senses of old and the heart of a giant
And I’m searching through the wreckage
For some recollection that I might have been queen
For every sage that falls there’s an ancient child

And I might have been queen
I remember the girl in the fields with no name
She had a love
But the rivers won’t stop for me
No, the rivers won’t stop to me

I look up to the stars with my perfect memory
I look through it all and my future is no shock to me
I look down but I see no tragedy
I look up to the stars till I find my destiny
I look up to my past, a spirit running free
I look down, I look down and I’m there in history
I’m a soul survivor

A soul survivor
On the river
But it won’t stop

Just The Two Of Us


Just The Two Of Us
Composer(s): Ralph MacDonald;
William Salter; Bill Withers
Performer(s): Grover Washington Jr.;
and various other artists



I see the crystal raindrops fall
And the beauty of it all
when the sun comes shining through
To make those rainbows in my mind
When I think of you some time
And I want to spend some time with you

Chorus:
Just the two of us
We can make it if we try
Just the two of us
Just the two of us
Building castles in the sky
Just the two of us
You and I
We look for love, no time for tears
Wasted waters's all that is
And it don't make no flowers grow
Good things might come to those who wait
Not to those who wait to late
We got to go for all we know

Chorus

I hear the crystal raindrops fall
On the window down the hall
And it becomes the morning dew
Darling, when the morning comes
And I see the morning sun
I want to be the one with you

Just the two of us
We can make it if we try
Just the two of us
Just the two of us
Building big castles way on high
Just the two of us
You and I

Just the two of us
Let's get together, baby
Just the two of us
We can make it
Just the two of us
We can make it
Just the two of us
Just the two of us we can make it

Train Of Love


Train Of Love
Composer(s): Paul Anka
Performer(s): Annette Funicello



Oh the train of love keeps a movin' on down the track
Well I left so fast that I even forgot to pack
Well I called my baby on the telephone
Told him to meet me at the station, 'cause I'm coming home
Ya Ya

Woo woo, shovel more coal in the fire (wooo wooo... wooo wooo)
Well I'm coming home... home to my desire (wooo wooo... wooo wooo)
Well I miss him so, how much you'll never know
And when I get back I'll never let him go
No No

Oh my heart keeps beatin', beatin' away
It seems to tell me...
It seems to say
Get right home, just as quick as you can
Into the arms of your loving man

Oh the train of love keeps a movin' on down the line (wooo wooo... wooo wooo)
Well on the locomotive there's a number ninety-nine (wooo wooo... wooo wooo)
That's for ninety-nine kisses I'm a gonna give
And ninety-nine hugs and we're gonna live
Ya Ya

Oh my heart keeps beatin', beatin' away
It seems to tell me...
It seems to say
Get right home just as quick as you can
Into the arms of your lovin' man

Oh the train of love keeps a movin' on down the line (wooo wooo... wooo wooo)
Well on the locomotive there's a number ninety-nine (wooo wooo... wooo wooo)
That's for ninety-nine kisses I'm a gonna give
And ninety-nine hugs and we're gonna live
Ya Ya

That's for ninety-nine kisses I'm a gonna give
And ninety-nine hugs and we're gonna live
Ya Ya
That's for ninety-nine kisses I'm a gonna give
And ninety-nine hugs and we're gonna live
Ya Ya

I Might


I Might
Composer(s): Barrie Guard; Stewart Leatherwood; Gary Sulsh
Performer(s): Shakin' Stevens; The Vees



I Might, (Ooooooooooooh)
I might just fall in love with you tonight
If your kiss lingers still
And my lips think it will
Then I just might

I could
I could surrender in your arms tonight
Just hold me close once more
And kiss me like before and I just might

Lately I found my resistance is down
Every time that I look in your eyes
My head starts to spin, I try not to give in
But if you catch my heart by surprise

I might, (Ooooooooooooh)
I might give up my heart without a fight
I never thought I would
But now I think I could
And I just might

Wooh, wooh

What can I do with a girl sweet as you
Can't kiss all my defenses away
Tonight you may find that you've made up my mind
'Cause it's getting much harder to say

I might, (Ooooooooooooh)
I might give up my heart without a fight
I never thought I would
But now I think I could
And I just might

(Ooooooh), I Might, (Ooooooooooooh)
I might just fall in love with you tonight
If your kiss lingers still
And my lips think it will
Then I just might

I could,
I could surrender in your arms tonight
Just hold me tight once more
And kiss me like before and I just might

I might just fall in love with you tonight
I never thought I would
But now I think I could and I ...

Woh! Bop-do-day (oh, what a girl)
Oh, bop-do-day (oh, what a girl)
Boo-dow, boo-day, a-bop-do-day (oh, what a girl)
I caught the train, I met a real dame
She was a hipster and a gone dame
She was pretty, from New York City
And she trucked on down the ol' fair lane
With a hee, and a hoo
And I just couldn't let her go
So get along, sweet little woman get along
Better be on your way
Get along, sweet little woman get along

Mmm, the train kept a-rollin' (all night long)
Oh, the train kept a-rollin' (all night long)
And I still wouldn't let 'er go

We made a stop at Albuquerque
She must have thought I was a real gone jerk
We got off the train in El Paso
Her lovin' was so fine Jack, I couldn't let 'er go
Get along, sweet little woman get along
Better be on your way
Get along, sweet little woman get along
Better be on your way
With a hee, and a hoo
And I sure couldn't let her go
Yeah, the train kept a-rollin' (all night long)
Oh, the train kept a-rollin' (all night long)
Ooh, the train kept a-rollin' (all night long)

Rose Of England


Rose Of England
Composer(s): Ivor Novello; Christopher Hassall
Performer(s): Vera Lynn



Grown in one land alone
Where proud winds have blown
There’s not a flower born of the shower
Braver than England’s own
Though gales of winter blow
Piercing hail and snow
Shining she stays bright as in days of yore
Old England’s pride still blossoms
Fresh on England’s shore

Rose of England thou shall fade not here
Proud and bright from growing year to year
Red shall thy petals be as rich wine untold
Shared by thy warriors who served thee of old
Rose of England breathing England’s air
Flower of chivalry beyond compare
While hand and heart endure to cherish thy prime
Thou shall blossom to the end of time

Rose of England breathing England’s air
Flower of liberty beyond compare
While hand and heart endure to cherish thy prime
Thou shall blossom to the end of time

Just The Same


Just The Same
Composer(s): Kerry Minnear; Derek Shulman
Performer(s): Gentle Giant; Jordan Rudess



See me, what I am, what I was, what I'll be
Hear me, understand that I'm not what you see
Take this, take the man, middle term, common me
Don't you see that I'm just doing what I want to do
Nothing more and nothing less than you
Read no thoughts I didn't think myself
Just the same as anybody else

Make me someone else, put me up on a stand
Something that I don't really want on my hands
Use me, idolise all you can understand
Don't you see that I'm just doing what I want to do
Nothing more and nothing less than you
Read no thoughts I didn't think myself
Just the same as anybody else

Change it, what you think, what you thought, what you say
Look for something more than you sought yesterday
I don't want to be part of your life today
Don't you see that I'm just doing what I want to do
Nothing more and nothing less than you
Read no thoughts I didn't think myself
Just the same as anybody else

Train In Vain


Train In Vain
Composer(s): Mick Jones - Joe Strummer
First release: The Clash- 1979
Covered by multiple other artists



Say you stand by your man
Tell me something I don't understand
You said you love me and that's a fact
Then you left me, said you felt trapped

Well some things you can explain away
But my heartache's in me till this day

Did you stand by me
No, not at all
Did you stand by me
No way

All the times
When we were close
I'll remember these things the most
I see all my dreams come tumbling down
I won't be happy without you around

So all alone I keep the wolves at bay
There is only one thing that I can say

Did you stand by me
No, not at all
Did you stand by me
No way

You must explain why this must be
Did you lie when you spoke to me

Did you stand by me
No, not at all

Now I got a job
But it don't pay
I need new clothes
I need somewhere to stay
But without all these things I can do
But without your love I won't make it through

But you don't understand my point of view
I suppose there's nothing I can do

Did you stand by me
No, not at all
Did you stand by me
No way

You must explain why this must be
Did you lie when you spoke to me?

Did you stand by me
Did you stand by me
No, not at all
Did you stand by me
No way
Did you stand by me
No, not at all
Did you stand by me
No way

I Met My Baby In Macy's


I Met My Baby In Macy’s
Composer(s): Tommy Dorsey



I met my baby in Macy’s in Gentlemen’s Underwear
I met my baby in Macy’s and that’s where I learned to care
We looked at a cottage on the Mezzanine
With a toaster and an iron and a washing machine
I met my baby in Macy’s in Gentlemen’s Underwear

I asked my baby to wed me in higher-priced Langerie
I asked my baby and said we should honeymoon rightaway
Should head right for heaven on the 2nd floor
And we’ll buy all the romance that they’ve got in the store
I asked my baby to wed me in higher-priced Langerie

And then my baby refused me and told me she didn’t care
I found my baby in Macy’s so I just returned her there
They’re giving me credit but I’m all alone
So I think I’ll take the door, see what Gimballs are showin’
Who wants my baby in Macy’s in Gentlemen’s Underwear
I left my heart on one of those clothing trees
Between the men’s cologne and the b.b.b.
When I lost my baby in Macy’s in Gentlemen’s Underwear

Just Tell Her Jim Said Hello


Just Tell Her Jim Said Hello
Composer(s): Jerry Leiber; Mike Stoller
Performer(s): Elvis Presley



She's sitting right over there
I'd know that face anywhere
I'd run up and embrace her
But I’m ashamed to face her
Just tell her Jim said hello

I'd like to pour out my heart
But I don't know where to start
I'd like to tell her
What I’m really feeling but
Just tell her Jim said hello

Just tell her Jim said hello
Just tell her Jim and she'll know

Don't tell her I’m feeling blue
That's just between me and you
Don't say I’m thinking of her
Don't tell her I still love her
Just tell her Jim said hello

Just tell her Jim said hello
Just tell her Jim said hello
Just tell her Jim said hello

Trailing Around In A Trailer


Trailing Around In A Trailer
Composer(s): Harry Gifford - Fred E. Cliffe
Performer(s): George Formby



I love the fresh air, it's great, I declare
Wide open spaces for me
With trailer and car I set out afar
A rover I meant to be
Over the hills and dales
Over the slugs and snails
Trailing around in a trailer
Eee, it's champion campin' out

It's just like a real gypsy life
To make it look more real, a gypsy lent me his wife
I'd only one pair of pyjamas
It was awkward there's no doubt
We shared the suit between us, but we found it too tight
She had got the left leg on, so I put on the right
The tape it broke and I never got a wink of sleep all night
Eee, it's champion campin' out

On a farm t'other night, I was doin' all right
A dairy maid sat on me knee
One kiss it begun at a quarter-to-one
And it lasted till half-past-three
For breakfast we'd eggs and ham
Then I thought it was time to scram and go
Ttrailin around in me trailer
Eee, it's champion campin' out

To shut the window one day I tried
I banged it in a hurry with me head still inside
When I was doin' some fishin'
A girl strayed round about
She smiled and whispered, "Any luck?", she seemed a gay spark
As far as fishin' went, it's true me luck was off the mark
But I had a bit of luck with her as soon as it was dark
Eee, it's champion campin' out

Just Someone I Used To Know

Performer(s): Porter Wagoner & Dolly Parton;
and various other artists



There's a picture that I carry
One we made some time ago
When they ask who's in the picture with me
I say just "Someone I used to know"

Just someone, I used to spend some time with
Just a flame, that's lost its glow
But I don't them of the nights I cried without you
I say just "Someone I used to know"

Just someone, I use to run around with
Just a friend from long ago
I don't tell them, how lost I am without you
I say just "Someone I used to know"

I say just "Someone I used to know"

Trail Of Tears


Trail Of Tears
Composer(s): Roger Cook - Allen Reynolds
Performer(s): Nick Lowe
and multiple other artists



I've seen shadow, I've seen shine
I know what and what is not mine
I've seen glitter and I've seen gold
And I've heard everything I've been told
And I don't want to spend my life time walking
A trail of tears
I don't want to spend my whole life walking
Along a trail of tears
Trail of tears
Well you know battle, you know war
You know what and what you are for
Scared of you and I'm scared of me
Scared of letting my future be
And I don't want to spend my life time walking
A trail of tears
I don't want to spend my life time walking
A trail of tears
Trail of tears
Nobody in their right mind
Could fail to see unless they were blind
It's gone, true love has gone
Nobody wants to throw it away
But oh my darling how can I stay
When it's gone, good has gone
I've seen shadow, I've seen shine
I know what and what is not mine
I've seen glitter, I've seen gold
And I've heard everything I've been told
And I don't want to spend my life time walking
A trail of tears
I don't want to spend my whole life walking
Along trail of tears
Trail of tears

I Met Her In Church


I Met Her In Church
Composer(s): Spooner Oldham; Dan Penn
Performer(s): The Box Tops; Tony Borders



I met her in church, I met her in church
On a Sunday morning
She looked at me with eyes aglow
As the choir sang hallelujah
hallelujah
I met her in church, I met her in church
We fell in love on a Sunday morning
Then all at once I heard angels singing
Singing Hallejulah
Singing hallelujah, hallelujah
Saturday night turned into Sunday light
I found love on a back row seat
In a little church just down the street
Met her in church, had a wedding in church
Church, had the wedding in church
The lord willing and the creek don't rise
We're gonna be happy the rest of our lives
I met her in church, I met her in church
Hallejulah
I met her in church, I met her in church
Hallejulah
I met her in church, I met her in church
Hallejulah ...

Baby baby, oh yeah, I my
Just seven numbers can straighten out my life
But my pride won't let me phone
Just seven numbers can put me through to you girl
(Doot- do-do-do-do)
Then I'll know you're really at home

You haven't been fair to me
Playin' on like jealousy
You say you're seein' some other guy
I don't know the truth from a lie
If I only knew where you were (only knew)

Just seven numbers can straighten out my life
If my fingers would only turn the dial
Just seven numbers can put me through to you girl
(Doot-do-do-do-do)
Just your hello, make me smile

I haven't been fair to myself
I tried to call someone else
But after she said 'hi' I hung up the telephone line
If I only knew where you were (only knew)
Just seven numbers can put me straight through to you

ay, yeah.....baby.....whoa
(Just seven numbers) has taken out my life, oh girl
But my fingers don't turn the dial
(Just seven numbers) can put me through to you, baby
Just your hello would make me smile
(Just seven numbers, seven numbers)

Lift up the wire and turn the dial!
(Seven numbers)
You'd straighten out my life
Whoa whoa, yeah baby, yeah
(Just seven numbers) I hi-hi
Yeah, I-hi-hi-hi

Traigo El Corazón Herido


Traigo El Corazón Herido
Composer(s): Roberto Livi - Alejandro Vezzani
Performer(s): Raphael



Traigo el corazón herido
Escondido aquí en mi pecho
No se escuchan sus latidos
Por el mal que tú le has hecho
Traigo el corazón herido
Él está que ya se muere
Y hay un solo responsable
Este tonto que te quiere
Traigo el corazón herido
Y lo dejo aquí en tu puerta
Si la cierras me lo matas
Tienes que dejarla abierta
Tú sabes que está en tus manos
Que se salve o que se muera
Se salva si lo recoges
Se muere si queda afuera
Tú sabes que está en tus manos
Escucha bien lo que digo
Mi corazón se me muere
Si no se queda contigo

I Met A Girl
Composer(s): Jule Styne; Betty Comden; Adolph Green
Performer(s): Sydney Chaplin
and multiple other artists



Yoo-hoo! I met a girl, a wonderful girl
She's really got a lot to recommend her for a girl
Fabulous creature without any doubt
Hey! What am I getting so excited about?
She's just a girl, an ev'ry day girl
And yet I guess she's really rather special for a girl
For once you have seen her the others are out
Hey! What am I getting so excited about?
But so what, what has she got others have not?
Two eyes, two lips, a nose, all girls have some of those
But when she looks up at me, what do I see?
The most enchanting face, my pulse begins to race
Hey! I met a girl, a marvellous girl
She's rarer than uranium and fairer than a pearl
Found me a treasure and I want to shout
Hey! What am I getting so excited about?
But so what, what has she got others have not?
Two eyes, two lips, a nose, all girls have some of those
But when she looks up at me, what do I see?
The most enchanting face, my pulse begins to race
Hey! (He met a girl, a marvellous girl)
(She's rarer than uranium and fairer than a pearl)
Found me a treasure and I want to shout
This is what I'm getting so excited about
I met a girl and I fell in love today

Just Rollin' On


Just Rollin' On
Composer(s): Ernest Tubb
Performer(s): Ernest Tubb



You ask me where I’m goin’ I’m sure I do not know
But it does not matter much just so I’m on the go
I’m searching for that somethin’ I know I’ll never find
But just let me drift along and dream away my time

Rollin’ On just Rollin’ On
Rollin’ On you see
But I’d rather roll along I don’t want company
Everything I’ve ever planned always turned out wrong
So if it’s all the same to you I’ll just keep Rollin’ On

Now happiness is somethin’ that most folks never find
But we all can dream of it leave that troubled mind
The only love I’ve ever known left me with a scar
A memory that’s haunting me though I’ve traveled far

Rollin’ On just Rollin’ On
Rollin’ On you see
But I’d rather roll along I don’t want company
Everything I’ve ever planned always turned out wrong
So if it’s all the same to you I’ll just keep Rollin’ On

There’s no use my pretending of course I’m really sad
But I’ve find some good things all mixed up with the bad
I’ve been a lot of places I’ve done a lot that’s wrong
But perhaps I’ll win the fight if I keep Rollin’ On

Rollin’ On just Rollin’ On
Rollin’ On you see
But I’d rather roll along I don’t want company
Everything I’ve ever planned always turned out wrong
So if it’s all the same to you I’ll just keep Rollin’ On
