You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet


You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet Composer(s): Randy Bachman First release by: Bachman-Turner Overdrive - 1974 Covered by multiple other artists



I met a devil woman
She took my heart away
She said, I had it comin' to me
But I wanted it that way
I think that any love is good lovin', and
So I took what I could get mmh
Oooh, oooh she looked at me with big brown eyes
And said
You ain't seen nothin' yet
B-B-B-Baby, you just ain't seen nothin' yet
Here's something that you never gonna forget
B-B-B-Baby, you just ain't seen nothin' yet
And now I'm feelin' better
'Cause I found out for sure
She took me to her doctor
And he told me of a cure
He said that any love is good love
So I took what I could get mmh
Oooh, oooh she looked at me with big brown eyes
And said
You ain't seen nothin' yet
B-B-B-Baby, you just ain't seen nothin' yet
Here's something that you never gonna forget
B-B-B-Baby, you just ain't seen nothin' yet
Any love is good love
So I took what I could get mmh
Oooh, oooh she looked at me with big brown eyes
And said
You ain't seen nothin' yet
B-B-B-Baby, you just ain't seen nothin' yet
Here's something that you never gonna forget
B-B-B-Baby, you just ain't seen nothin' yet

You Ain't Got A Hold On Me


You Ain't Got A Hold On Me
Composer(s): Bon Scott; Malcolm Young; Angus Young
Performer(s): AC/DC;
Mark Kozelek; New Eden



You can roll me round your finger
You can roll me if I'm blind
You can roll me tally ho ho
I'm easy rollin' kind
But don't think I'm facin' down hill
'Cause soon you'll see
You'll lose your grip and slip
'Cause you ain't got a hold on me

Chorus:
You ain't got a hold on me
You ain't got a hold on me
Why don't you let me free
'Cause you ain't got a hold on me

You can take me to your bedroom
You can take me to your heart
You can take me to a climax
I won't fall apart
But don't count on me givin' it
All back to you
Just because I'm hooked on livin
Doesn't mean I'm hooked on you

Chorus

You Ain't Going Nowhere


You Ain't Going Nowhere
Composer(s): Bob Dylan
Performer(s): Bob Dylan;
and various other artists



Clouds so swift
Rain won't lift
Gate won't close
Railings froze
Get your mind off wintertime
You ain't goin' nowhere
Whoo-ee! Ride me high
Tomorrow's the day
My bride's gonna come
Oh, oh, are we gonna fly
Down in the easy chair!

I don't care
How many letters they sent
Morning came and morning went
Pick up your money
And pack up your tent*

You ain't goin' nowhere
Whoo-ee! Ride me high
Tomorrow's the day
My bride's gonna come
Oh, oh, are we gonna fly
Down in the easy chair!

Buy me a flute
And a gun that shoots
Tailgates and substitutes
Strap yourself
To the tree with roots
You ain't goin' nowhere
Whoo-ee! Ride me high
Tomorrow's the day
My bride's gonna come
Oh, oh, are we gonna fly
Down in the easy chair!

Genghis Khan
He could not keep
All his kings
Supplied with sleep
We'll climb that hill no matter how steep
When we get up to it
Whoo-ee! Ride me high
Tomorrow's the day
My bride's gonna come
Oh, oh, are we gonna fly
Down in the easy chair!


*(other version by Dylan:
Pack up your money, pull up your tent, McGuinn, you ain't going nowhere)

Ah, Bleak And Chill The Wintry Wind


Ah, Bleak And Chill The Wintry Wind
Composer(s): Alfred Shaddick Burt - Rev. Bates Gilbert Burt
Performer(s): The Singers Unlimited
and multiple other artists



Ah, bleak and chill the wintry wind
But colder far be he
Who hath no warmth of love to share
With Christ the babe that Mary bare
On His nativity, on His nativity

Dark, dark the night when Christ was born
But deeper shadows be
Within the heart that has no joy
With Mary and her heavenly boy
On His nativity, on His nativity

Peace be to them, and right good cheer
Who carol merrily
And hie them forth when church bells ring
To kneel before their newborn King
On His nativity, on His nativity

You (The Moody Blues)


You
Composer(s): Justin Hayward; John Lodge
Performer(s): The Moody Blues



You don't even know my name
Time was when you would
Take the love you've given all away
Take a part of me

You don't even walk my road
Can't find where you turned
Looked away and you were gone
Now we're on our own
Old man is this why we're alone?

I, I believe
What is lost forever
Has brought the change in me
I, I believe
What is lost forever
Has brought the change in me

You don't even know my world
I've tried hard to see
If I'd found the world you're looking for
There'd be a change in me

You don't even know my name
Time was when you would
Take the love you've given all away
Take a part of me
You've gone and changed the world I see

I, I believe
What is lost for ever has brought the change in me
I, I believe
What is lost for ever has brought the change in me

Street Of Dreams (Bing Crosby)


Street Of Dreams
Composer(s): Sam Lewis - Victor Young
First recording/First release by: Bing Crosby - 1932/1933
Covered by multiple other artists



Love laughs at a king
Kings don't mean a thing
On the street of dreams
Dreams broken in two
Can be made like new
On the street of dreams
Gold, silver and gold
All you can hold
Is in the moonbeams
Poor, no one poor
Long as love is sure
On the street of dreams

Love laughs at a king
‘cos Kings don't mean a thing
On the street of dreams
Dreams that’s all broken in two
You can make ‘em just like new
On the street of dreams
Now you take gold, silver and gold
All that you can hold
Is way up yonder in the moonbeams
Poor? Ain’t nobody poor
Long as love is sure
On that old street of dreams

Love laughs at a king
Kings don't mean a thing
On the street of dreams
Dreams broken in two
Can be made like new
On the street of dreams
Gold, silver and gold
All you can hold
Is in the moonbeams
Poor, no one is poor
Long as love is sure
On the street of dreams

You (Nils Lofgren)


You
Composer(s): Nils Lofgren
Performer(s): Nils Lofgren



Ah, you, wake me with the genlest touch
When you, kiss me, oh, I feel I must I have you
You have everything I need
Except a burning love for me

When I first saw you that day
I had to ask you stay
We ate and drank to much
And our hearts softly touched
Now, in us I do believe
Or have I been deceived

Ah, you; you come down like early rain, and you
Wash away my every pain, and you
You have everything I need
Except a burning love for me

Well we had this for a while
And when we make love, you'd always smile
Still, there's a distance I can't close
I'm in deeper, and it shows
It shows

Well, while our hearts are young and there's still time
Tell me what to do to make you mine
Oh, mine, ah, you
You walk outside and birds start to sing, ah, you
You look at me and know everything I feel
I feel, grant me one wish, and I'll be free
I want you more in love with me
I want you more in love with me, ah, you

Street Of Dreams (Rainbow)


Street Of Dreams
Composer(s): Ritchie Blackmore - Joe Lynn Turner
First release by: Rainbow - 1983



I heard the sound of voices in the night
Spell bound there was someone calling
I looked around no on was sight
Pulled down I just kept on falling
I've seen this place before
You were standing by my side
I've seen your face before tonight
Maybe I just see what I want to be
I know it's a mystery
Do you remember me on a street of dreams
Running through my memory
On the street of dreams

There you stood a distant memory
So good like we never parted
Said to myself I knew you'd set me free
And here we are right back where we started
Something's come over me
And I don't know what to feel
Maybe this fantasy is real
Now it's still a mystery

Do you remember me on a street of dreams
Running through my memory
On the street of dreams
You are on every face I see
On the street of dreams

Tell me have you always been
On the street of dreams
Will we ever meet again my friend
Do you know just who you'll see do ya
On the street of dreams
You can be who you want to be oh yeh
I can hear you calling me
I can feel you haunting me
Haunting me

Street Of Dreams (Lindsay Buckingham)


Street Of Dreams
Composer(s): Lindsay Buckingham - Richard Dashut
Performer(s): Lindsay Buckingham



Can’t get going
Fear is showing
On this lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely
Street of dreams

There’s no telling
What they’re selling
On this lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely
Street of dreams

There’s a shadow on my daddy’s stone, where he was laid, laid to rest.
I ask him is this just a dream, or is it just another test?
I turn my back against the cold, I turn my face into the wind
And I wonder will I ever, ever make it home again?
Shadow on daddy’s stone, ten years gone, it seems
I ask him will i ever stop, ever stop dreaming dreams?!
He said never, never, never

And I was praying
You’d be staying
On this lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely
Street of dreams

You (Charles Aznavour)


You
French Title: Je Ne Connais Que Toi
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour



You are all I've ever known
Through every dreamless night
Through every empty dawn
You and only you alone
Were my moment of truth
Were my promise of youth reborn
Far in the corners of my mind
In shadows hard to find
You were godlike, a voice
That lingered in the air
When every hope was gone
You called me ever on
Through my time of despair

You are words I'll never find
Too full to ever say
Too deep to understand
You make music in my mind
Can't imagine a day
Without wishing to find your hand
Some may wait a lifetime long
And never hear the song
That makes all heaven smile
And when they ask me
Who has made my life worthwhile
As if you didn't know
I owe it all to you

Street Life


Street Life
Composer(s): Will Jennings - Joe Sample
Performer(s): Randy Crawford & The Crusaders



I still hang around neither lost nor found
Hear the lonely sound of music in the night
Nights are always bright
That's all that's left for me, yeah
I play the street life
Because there's no place I can go
Street life, it's the only way I know
Street life
And there's a thousand cards to play
Until you play your life away
You dress and walk and talk
You're who you think you are
Street life, you can run away from time
Street life, for a nickel, for a dime
Street life, but you better not get old
Or you're gonna feel the cold
There's always love for sale
A grown up fairy tale
Prince charming always smiles
Behind a silver spoon
And if you keep t young
Your song is always sung
Your love will pay your way beneath the silver moon
Street life, street life, street life, oh street life...

You (Bonnie Raitt)


You
Composer(s): John Shanks; Bob Thiele; K. Tonio
Performer(s): Bonnie Raitt



Nobody else could make me happy
No one could hurt me like you do
You were the only one that mattered
Then you were gone......love had moved on
Left me alone thinking of...

You......there was never any other
You......and I were created to be true

Isn't it love that keeps us breathing
Isn't it love we're sent here for
Wasn't that love that we were feeling
(that was something baby)
Deep in our soul......deeper than we know
Keeping me holding out for

You......there was never any question
You'll be forever on my mind
You and I, we were meant to be together
True hearts in a world where love is dyin'

I might as well have been dyin', when we were apart
When you came back I felt the beating of my heart

You and I, there was never any question
You'll be forever on my mind
You and I, we were meant to be together
You.....
It was always you....yeah baby
Only you

Street Kids


Street Kids
Composer(s): Elton John - Bernie Taupin
Performer(s): Elton John



They must have had the whole thing planned
There must have been a hundred
If we make a stand
I think we'll be outnumbered
If I'd had the chance
Then I could understand
Why I'm a juvenile delinquent
In an East End gang

And if you think you've seen gasoline burning in my eyes
Don't be alarmed, tell yourself it's good to be, it's good to be alive

It's just another street kid on your tail
Running on the wrong side of the rails
With my boot lace tie and my hand-me-downs
You know I run the toughest bunch this side of town
Those street kids making news just being around

I've been bottled and been brained
Squealers can't be trusted
If we fight tonight
You can bet we'll all be busted
I'd like to break away
From the rut I'm in
But beggars can't be choosers
And I was born to sin

Let's hear it for the street kids
Making news just being around

Yosemite Sam


Yosemite Sam
Composer(s): Alan Livingston;
Warren Foster; Mike Maltese; Billy May
Performer(s): Mel Blanc



Oh, I'm the toughest hombre that ever lived out West
Although I'm only two feet tall, my shootin' is the best
I like to hunt for big black ducks a-way up in the sky
I like to see if I can hit a duck that's on the fly

I'll hunt down game, I'll blast away
I'll shoot where ere I can
I'll aim my gun, I never miss
Or my name's not Yosemite Sa-a-a-a-a-am

Sometimes I reach a rabbit without a single sound
And then I pull the trigger and the rabbit hits the ground
Squirrels too are very cute as they go up a tree
But with my trusty rifle, they can't excape from me

Oh, I'll hunt down game, I'll blast away
I'll shoot what ere I can
I'll aim my gun, I never miss
Or my name's not Yosemite Sa-a-a-a-a-am

I sometimes hunt for possum when there's nothin' else to shoot
Or aim at birds as they fly by, I don't much give a hoot
I'll even shoot the little deer who run so very fast
No matter how they run away, they can't escape my blast

Oh, I'll hunt down game, I'll blast away
I'll shoot what ere I can
I'll aim my gun, I never miss
Or my name's not Yosemite Sa-ay-ay-yam

But I must really tell you, I know you will be glad
That though I shoot a lot of things, I'm not so very bad
For from my little rifle, an animal never drops
For instead of usin' bullets, I load it with gumdrops

Oh, I'll hunt down game, I'll blast away
I'll shoot what ere I can
I'll aim my gun, I never miss
Or my name's not Yosemite Sa-a-a-a-a-am

YAA-HAAA!

After December Slips Away


After December Slips Away
Composer(s): Lowell Alexander - Bonnie Keen
Performer(s): First Call; Donnie Osmond



The season comes but once a year
A gift of precious wonder
For all who hold it dear
But past the sights and coloured lights
Lord, far beyond December
I will remember

After the carols fade away
After the Yule fire dies down
When there are no longer dreams to open and see
Because You are hope and joy and peace
Because You're the only gift I need
In my heart the season will remain
After December slips away

Years ago beneath a tree
Fell the drops of crimson
That set the faithful free
The gift was life sent in love
Lord, far beyond December
I will remember

After the carols fade away
After the Yule fire dies down
When there are no longer dreams to open and see
Because You are hope and joy and peace
Because You're the only gift I need
In my heart the season will remain
After December slips away

No matter how bright the glitter shines
No matter how many hopes come true
I know that all I have
Begins and ends with You

After the carols fade away
After the Yule fire dies down
When there are no longer dreams to open and see
Because You are hope and joy and peace
Because You're the only gift I need
In my heart the season will remain
After December slips away
In my heart the season will remain
After December slips away

Yonder Comes A Sucker


Yonder Comes A Sucker
Composer(s): Jim Reeves
Performer(s): Jim Reeves



(Chorus:)
Railroad, steamboat, river and canal
Yonder comes a sucker, and he’s got my gal
And she’s gone, gone, gone
And she’s gone, gone, gone
And I’ll bid her my last farewell

I fell in love with a pretty little thing
I thought that wedding bells would ring
She was as sweet as sweet could be
‘Till I found out what she did to me

(Repeat Chorus)

I asked her mother to let her go
She whispered, “Mother, please tell him no
Though he may think that I am true
There’s plenty more who think so too”

(Repeat Chorus)

Now, I won’t cry my life away
Some other sucker will have to pay
And when he finds that she is gone
I guess I’ll hear him sing this song

(Repeat Chorus)

Street Corner Serenade


Street Corner Serenade
Composer(s): Michael Duke - Jack Hall - Marshall Smith
Performer(s): Wet Willie



Down on the corner in my home town
Me and the fellows used to gather round
The song we sang it sounded so sweet
I can still hear that harmony
Singin de de de de deet
Who, whoa oh ah ah

Guide he's the one that sang down low
Crazy Larry sang the baritone
I'm the one that sang the lead
Little Jackie made our song complete
Singin de de de de deet
Who, whoa oh ah ah

When a pretty girl would come passing by
We tried too hard to catch her eye
And when she stopped to check us out
That's when we really sang out loud
Singin de de de de deet
Who, whoa oh ah ah

I still remember those happy days
We passed our time in carefree ways
Maybe someday we'll get together again
Down on the corner with my old friends
Singin de de de de deet
Who, whoa oh ah ah
