Eight More Miles To Louisville
Eight More Miles To Louisville
Composer(s): Grandpa Jones - Louis Jones
First release: Grandpa Jones - 1946
Covered by multiple other artists
I've traveled o'er this country wide seeking fortune fair
Up and down the two coast lines I've traveled everywhere
From Portland East to Portland West back along the line
I'm going now to the place that's best that old hometown of mine
Eight more miles and Louisville will come into my view
Eight more miles on this old road and I'll never more be blue
I knew some day that I'd come back I knew it from the start
Eight more miles to Louisville the hometown of my heart
There's bound to be a gal somewhere that you like best of all
Mine lives down in Louisville she's long and she is tall
But she's the kind that you can't find a traveling through the land
I'm on my way this very day to win her heart and hand
Now I can picture in my mind a place we'll call our home
A humble little hut for two we'll never want to roam
The place that's right for that love sight is in those bluegrass hills
Where gently flows the Ohio by a place called Louisville

Try Too Hard
Try Too Hard
Composer(s): Dave Clark - Mike Smith
First release: The Dave Clark Five - 1966
Tell me, do you want my love
Tell me what you're thinkin' of
I've been waitin' 'round so long
You don't try too hard
You don't try too hard
I hope you're not tryin' to make a fool of me
'Cause if you are I know there's going to be
Some tears fallin' and they won't be mine
You don't try too hard
You don't try too hard
Some people may want many loves my friend
But we both know what happens to them in the end
So please listen to these words of mine
And let me know that I'm not wasting my time
I'm sure that we could get along very fine
You don't try too hard
You don't try too hard
You don't try too hard
You don't try too hard
You don't try too hard
You don't try too hard

I Talk To The Wind
I Talk To The Wind
Composer(s): Ian McDonald; Peter Sinfield
Performer(s): King Crimson
and multiple other artists
Said the straight man to the late man
Where have you been
I've been here and I've been there
And I've been in between
I talk to the wind
My words are all carried away
I talk to the wind
The wind does not hear
The wind cannot hear
I'm on the outside looking inside
What do I see
Much confusion, disillusion
All around me
You don't possess me
Don't impress me
Just upset my mind
Can't instruct me or conduct me
Just use up my time
I talk to the wind
My words are all carried away
I talk to the wind
The wind does not hear
The wind cannot hear

Eight Miles High
Eight Miles High
((Italian Version: Vado Su In Alto (Gli Astrali) - 1995))
Composer(s): Gene Clark - Roger McGuinn - David Crosby
First release: The Byrds - 1966
Covered by multiple other artists
Eight miles high and when you touch down
You'll find that it's stranger than known
Signs in the street that say where you're going
Are somewhere just being their own
Nowhere is there warmth to be found
among those afraid of losing their ground
Rain gray town known for its sound
In places small faces unbound
Round the squares huddled in storms
Some laughing some just shapeless forms
Sidewalk scenes and black limousines
Some living some standing alone

I Talk To The Trees
I Talk To The Trees
Dutch Title: We Zullen Wel Zien - 1970
Composer(s): Alan Jay Lerner; Frederick Loewe
First recording by: Tony Bavaar & Olga San Juan - 1951
Covered by multiple other artists
I talk to the trees
But they don't listen to me
I talk to the stars
But they never hear me
The breeze hasn't time
To stop and hear what I say
I talk to them all in vain
But suddenly my words
Reach someone else's ear
At someone else's heart strings too
I tell you my dreams
And while you're listening to me
I suddenly see them come true
I can see us some April night
Looking out across a rollin' farm
Having supper in the candlelight
Walking later, arm in arm
Then I'll tell you how I pass the day
Thinking mainly how the night would be
Then I'll try to find the words to say
All the things you mean to me
I tell you my dreams
And while you're listening to me
I suddenly see them come true

Eight Line Poem
Eight Line Poem
Composer(s): David Bowie
Performer(s): David Bowie
The tactful cactus by your window
Surveys the prairie of your room
The mobile spins to its collision
Clara puts her head between her paws
They've opened shops down West side
Will all the cacti find a home
But the key to the city
Is in the sun that pins
the branches to the sky

Try Not To Look So Pretty
Try Not To Look So Pretty
Performer(s): Dwight Yoakam
Try not to look so pretty
The next time that we meet
Please don't look so pretty
And I won't act so weak
Please don't look so pretty
You're lovely but it's just cruel
Try not to look so pretty
And I'll try not to be your fool
You walk in and steal my mind
But who gave you the right
To treat me like some useless thought
You throw away each night
Please don't look so pretty
You're lovely but it's just cruel
Try not to look so pretty
And I'll try not to be your fool
You make it hard on me
But I'll try to pretend
That you're just a lovesick dream
That always has to end
Please don't look so pretty
You're lovely but it's just cruel
Try not to look so pretty
And I'll try not to be your fool

Eight Is Enough
Eight Is Enough
Composer(s): Lee Holdridge - Molly-Ann Leikin
Performer(s): Grant Goodeve
There's a magic in the early morning we've found
When the sunrise smiles on everything around
It's a portrait of the happiness that we feel and always will
Oh, eight is enough to fill our lives with love
Oh, we're lucky we can share this beautiful space
So many find the world an empty place
Anyone who asks to stand alone is always standing still
And eight is enough to fill our lives with love
Oh, love makes all the difference now
And one that really shows
Just look at everyone of us
See how it overflows
Oh, We spend our days like bright and shiny new dimes
If we're ever puzzled by the changing times
There's a plate of homemade wishes on the kitchen window sill
And eight is enough to fill our lives with love
More than enough to fill our lives with love

Yes I know I’ve been untrue
And I have hurt you through and through
But please have mercy on this heart of mine
Take me back and Try Me One More Time
If my darling you could see
Just what you’re leavings done to me
You’d know that love is still the tie that binds
Take me back and Try Me One More Time
Ah here’s Leon
Now in my dreams I see your face
It seems there’s someone in my place
But does he know that you were once just mine?
Take me back and Try Me One More Time
If you’ll just forgive me now
I will make it up to you somehow
I promise never again to be unkind
Take me back and Try Me One More Time

I Take It Back
French Title: Je Retire Tout - 1968
Composer(s): Buddy Buie; James Cobb
Performer(s): Sandy Posey - 1967
Here he comes now
I've got to tell him somehow
I could put it off till later but it's best I do it now
Baby listen to me there is something I must try to say
I've put it off so long but I've decided that today is the day
My love for you is dying
Oh no, please don't start crying
I take it back
I didn't mean it
Please forget the things I said
I take it back
I'm sorry
I must have been out
Of my head
He's such a man
It must have hurt him a lot if he let me see him cry
But I must try again...this time I'll say goodbye
Baby you've been good to me you've always been the best you could
So try to understand me now the way you've always understood
I can't go on another day
Oh please, don't look at me that way
I take it back
I didn't mean it
Please forget what I just said
I take it back
I'm sorry
I must have been out
Of my head
Sometimes it's better to be loved, than it is to love

Composer(s): Joseph Meyer; Jack Yellen; Cliff Friend
Performer(s): Alice Faye
What happened to you mister
You used to treat me like a sister
But how you have blazed
And am I amazed
You started very sweetly
Now you have changed your way completely
From a meek and mild man
You’ve become a wild man
Oh, oh you rascal you
What a man you turned into
What pretty things you’ve learned to do
Oh, I didn’t know you’d get that way
I didn’t realise
That little twinkle in your eyes
Was only hotcha in disguise
Oh, I didn’t know you’d get that way
My heart is full of joy that I never knew
You great big naughty boy
How d’you do, do, do
What you do, do, do
There isn’t any doubt
You know what love is all about
And am I glad I found it out
Oh, I didn’t know you’d get that way
Oh, oh you rascal you
What a man you turned into
What pretty things you’ve learned to do
Oh, I didn’t know you’d get that way
I didn’t realise
That little twinkle in your eyes
Was only hotcha in disguise
Oh, I didn’t know you’d get that way
My heart is full of joooooooooyyyyy
You great big naughty boy
How d’you do, do, do
What you do, do, do
There isn’t any doubt
You know what love is all about
And am I glad I found it out
Oh, I didn’t know, you rascal you
Oh, I didn’t know, but now I do
Oh, you rascal you, I didn’t know you’d get that way

Eiffeltornet
Eiffeltornet
Composer(s): Kenneth Gärdestad - Ted Gärdestad
Performer(s): Ted Gärdestad; Patrik Isaksson
Jag såg i tidningen
att nu finns det en chans
för mig att åka billigt utomlands
Det är tur för mig
men synd om dig aha
för om jag ser dig le
mot nån annan kis
tar jag planet till Paris
Jag bor på hotell
för en kväll
skyll dig själv
Jag tänker hoppa ner från Eiffeltornet
om du sviker mig
men jag hoppas att jag
stoppas i hissen upp av dig
Ja jag hoppar ner från Eiffeltornet
om du sviker mig
men jag hoppas att jag
stoppas i hissen upp av dig
Du vet att jag begär
en liten bagatell
jag vill ha dig för mig själv
jag försöker att
ta det kallt aha
det är väl ganska bra
att du är populär
men det ställer bara till besvär
Jag blir vilseledd
förbisedd av dig
Jag tänker hoppa ner
från Eiffeltornet
om du lämmnar mig osv

Composer(s): Berry Gordy
Performer(s): The Temptations
Now you're moving on up, pretty baby
You're leaving me behind
Everybody seems to love you
Ooh, you're doing just fine, fine, fine
Take away your good looks
And all your fancy clothes
I bet you want to try it baby
And you'll see
That nobody loves you but me
Now what do you think about that?
Hey, Melvin
Now you tell me that you so busy
Ooh, baby you ain't got much time
Oh, how will I remember, babe
When all your time was mine, mine, mine
Well move on back cross the track
Yeah, where you came from
Yeah, why don't you just try it baby
And you'll see
Nobody loves you but me
Yeah, nobody but me
Try it
If you think I'm lying
Try it
Try it baby
Ooh, well move on back cross the track, baby
Yeah, where you came from
Come on and try, try it honey, try it baby, try it sweet
And you'll see
Nobody loves you but me
Nobody loves you but me
Listen, I really want to hold you, pretty baby
In my arms again
But I can't get close to you
For all your love afraid
But take your name from the bad list
And tear me your arms through
Come on and try it baby
I'm gonna try it sweetheart
Try it honey
You'll see, nobody loves you but me
Nobody but me

I see the questions in your eyes
I know what's weigh in on your mind
But you can be sure I know my part
'Cause I'll stand beside you through the years
You'll only cry those happy tears
And though I'll make mistakes
I'll never break your heart
I swear by the moon and the stars
in the sky I'll be there
I swear like the shadow that's by your side
I'll be there
For better or worse
Till death do us part
I'll love you with every beat of my heart
I Swear
I'll give you everything I can
I'll build your dreams with these two hands
We'll hang some memories on the walls
And when, there's silver in your hair
you won't have to ask if I still care
'Cause as time turns the page
My love won't age at all
I swear by the moon and the stars
in the sky I'll be there
I swear like the shadow that's by your side
I'll be there
For better or worse
Till death do us part
I'll love you with every beat of my heart
I Swear
I swear by the moon and the stars
in the sky I'll be there
I swear like the shadow that's by your side
I'll be there
For better or worse
Till death do us part
I'll love you with every beat of my heart
