Everything That Glitters (Is Not Gold)
Everything That Glitters (Is Not Gold)
Composer(s): Bob McDill; Dan Seals
Performer(s): Dan Seals
Saw your picture on a poster in a café out in Phoenix
Guess you're still the sweetheart of the rodeo
As for me and little Casey, we still make the circuit
In a one horse trailer and a mobile home
And she still asks about you all the time
And I guess we never even cross your mind
But oh, sometimes I think about you
And the way you used to ride out
In your rhinestones and your sequins
With the sunlight on your hair
And oh, the crowd will always love you
But as for me I've come to know
Everything that glitters is not gold
Well Old Red, he's getting older, and last Saturday he stumbled
But you know I just can't bear to let him go
Little Casey, she's still growing, and she's started asking questions
And there's certain things a man just doesn't know
Her birthday came and you never even called
I guess we never cross your mind at all
But oh, sometimes I think about you
And the way you used to ride out
In your rhinestones and your sequins
With the sunlight on your hair
And oh, the crowd will always love you
But as for me I've come to know
Everything that glitters is not gold
But oh, sometimes I think about you
And the way you used to ride out
In your rhinestones and your sequins
With the sunlight on your hair
And oh, the crowd will always love you
But as for me I've come to know
Everything that glitters is not gold

Composer(s): Graham Gouldman; Eric Stewart
First release by: 10 cc - 1975
Covered by multiple other artists
I'm not in love, so don't forget it
It's just a silly phase I'm going through
And just because I call you up
Don't get me wrong, don't think you've got it made
I'm not in love, no-no
(It's because …)
(Be quiet, big boys don't cry)
(Big boys don't cry)
(Big boys don't cry)
(Big boys don't cry)
(Big boys don't cry)
(Big boys don't cry)
(Big boys don't cry)
I keep your picture upon the wall
It hides a nasty stain that's lying' there
So don't you ask me to give it back
I know you know it doesn't mean that much to me
I'm not in love, no-no
(It's because …)
Ooh, you'll wait a long time for me
Ooh, you'll wait a long time
Ooh, you'll wait a long time for me
Ooh, you'll wait a long time
I'm not in love, so don't forget it
It's just a silly phase I'm going through
And just because I call you up
Don't get me wrong, don't think you've got it made
I'm not in love, I'm not in love …

Everything Stops For Tea
Everything Stops For Tea
Composer(s): Al Goodhart; Al Hoffman; Maurice Sigler
Performer(s): Jack Buchanan; John Baldry;
Graham Dalby; Pasadena Roof Orch.
Every nation in creation has its favourite drink
France is famous for its wine, it's beer in Germany
Turkey has its coffee and they serve it blacker than ink
Russians go for vodka and England loves its tea
Oh, the factories may be roaring
With a boom-a-lacka, zoom-a-lacka, wee
But there isn't any roar when the clock strikes four
Everything stops for tea
Oh, a lawyer in the courtroom
In the middle of an alimony plea
Has to stop and help 'em pour when the clock strikes four
Everything stops for tea
It's a very good English custom
Though the weather be cold or hot
When you need a little pick-up, you'll find a little tea cup
Will always hit the spot
You remember Cleopatra
Had a date to meet Mark Anthony at three
When he came an hour late she said "You'll have to wait"
For everything stops for tea
Oh, they may be playing football
And the crowd is yelling "Kill the referee!"
But no matter what the score, when the clock strikes four
Everything stops for tea
Oh, the golfer may be golfing
And is just about to make a hole-in-three
But it always gets them sore when the clock yells "four!"
Everything stops for tea
It's a very good English custom
And a stimulant for the brain
When you feel a little weary, a cup'll make you cheery
And it's cheaper than champagne
Now I know just why Franz Schubert
Didn't finish his unfinished symphony
He might have written more but the clock struck four
And everything stops for tea

I'm Not Gonna Let It Bother Me Tonight
I'm Not Gonna Let It Bother Me Tonight
Composer(s): Buddy Buie; Dean Daughtry; Robert Nix
Performer(s): Atlanta Rhythm Section
I picked up the paper this morning
And read all the daily blues
The world is one big tragedy
I wonder what I can do
About all the pain and injustice
About all of the sorrow
We're living in a danger zone
The world could end tomorrow
But I'm not gonna let it bother me tonight
I'm not gonna let it bother me tonight
Tomorrow I might go as far as suicide
But I won't let it bother me tonight
Life on the street is a jungle
A struggle to keep up the pace
I just can't beat that old dog eat dog
The rats keep winning the rat race
But I'm not gonna let it bother me tonight
I'm not gonna let it bother me tonight
The world is in an uproar and I see no end in sight
But I won't let it bother me tonight
I'm not gonna let it bother me tonight
Tomorrow I might go as far as suicide
But I won't let it bother me tonight
Lord, Lord, Lord
We got nothing but trouble
I've done all I can do today
So bartender pour me a double, right now
But I'm not gonna let it bother me tonight
I'm not gonna let it bother me tonight
The world is in an uproar and I see no end in sight
But I won't let it bother me tonight
I'm not gonna let it bother me tonight
No I'm not gonna let it bother me tonight
Tomorrow I might go as far as suicide
But I will not let it bother me tonight

Everything Possible
Everything Possible
Composer(s): Fred Small
Performer(s): Shaina Noll;
and various other artists
We have cleared off the table, the leftovers saved
Washed the dishes and put them away
I have told you a story and tucked you in tight
At the end of your knockabout day
As the moon sets its sails to carry you to sleep
Over the midnight sea
I will sing you a song no one sang to me
May it keep you good company
Chorus:
You can be anybody you want to be
You can love whomever you will
You can travel any country where your heart leads
And know I will love you still
You can live by yourself, you can gather friends around
You can choose one special one
And the only measure of your words and your deeds
Will be the love you leave behind when you're done
There are girls who grow up strong and bold
There are boys quiet and kind
Some race on ahead, some follow behind
Some go in their own way and time
Some women love women, some men love men
Some raise children, some never do
You can dream all the day never reaching the end
Of everything possible for you
Don't be rattled by names, by taunts, by games
But seek out spirits true
If you give your friends the best part of yourself
They will give the same back to you
Chorus

I'm Not Getting Any Better
I'm Not Getting Any Better
Composer(s): Holland Dozier; Brian Holland
Performer(s): Freda Payne
I lost my sunshine in a cloudy sky
I threw forever away when I said goodbye
I went away hoping to find someone
Someone to give me peace of mind
But still, ever constant, ever true
Is the love and memory I have for you
Here it comes again...those memories...
Pounding and pounding inside my mind
Like a shadow, you dance through my mind
And disappear into lost time
I'm not getting any better
Time has hurt me more
Oh no
I'm not getting any better
My love is greater than before
I'm cursed with this need for you
Can't get over making plans for two
The pain your memory brings, I can't endure
I thought tomorrow would bring a cure
Can't live without you, you are my life
(You are my life, you are my life, can't live without you)
I'm not getting any better
Time has hurt me more (time has hurt me more)
Oh no (no no)
I'm not getting any better
My love is greater than before (greater than before)
I'm like a child who's lost from home
With no experience to face this world alone
I fall and stumble trying to regain
Those pleasures that once spoke your name
Can't live without you, you are my life
(You are my life, you are my life, can't live without you)
I'm lost in a sea of despair
I'm on a downhill journey going nowhere
I'm not strong enough to accept this change
Life seems so unreal, so different, so strange
I still need you...I still love you...
Can't live without you, you are my life
(You are my life, you are my life, can't live without you)
I'm not getting any better
Time has hurt me more
Oh no
I'm not getting any better
My love is greater than before
Your memory is all around me
You're in every passing face I see
I'm like a poet without rhyme
Like a clock that's run out of time
Can't live without you, you are my life
(You are my life, you are my life, can't live without you)
(I'm not getting any better
Oh no, no no no no no no
I'm not getting any better
Oh no, no no no no no no)
(Without you, I can't live without you)

Everything Old Is New Again
Everything Old Is New Again
Composer(s): Peter Allen; Carole Bayer Sager
Performer(s: Peter Allen; Laurie Bower;
Hugh Jackman; Anne Murray; Mike Vax
I'm happy to be here...
It's been awhile since I've performed for you dear
I'm as nasty as I've always been
'Cause everything old is new again
I'm Hattie, still Batty...
The folks remember me in Cincinnati
I'm as wicked as I was back then
'Cause everything old is new again
Got out my black cape, my boots, and my broom
Let's get down and liven up this tune
Come join the lady you thought was long gone
She is back still going strong
Don't throw the past away
you might need it some rainy day
Dreams can come true again
When everything old is new again
Got out my black cape, my boots, and my broom
Let's get down and liven up this tune
Come join the lady you thought was long gone
She is back still going strong
Don't throw the past away
you might need it some rainy day
Dreams can come true again
When everything old is new again
I said, when everything old is new again!

I'm Not At All In Love
I'm Not At All In Love
Composer(s): Richard Adler; Jerry Ross
Performer(s): Janis Paige
and multiple other artists
Babe: "Love, are you nuts?"
Girls: "Some people can't tell when it hits 'em!"
Babe:
All you gotta do is say hello to a man
And they've got you whispering in his ear
All you gotta is be Polite with him
And they've got you spending the night with HIM
If there's a guy you merely have a bicker with
They've got you setting the wedding date
It seems they've just gotta have some dirt
To bend your ear with
So before you start
I hear with...state
I'm not, at all in love, not at all in love, not I!
Not a bit
Not a might
Though I'll admit he's quite a hunk a guy
But he's not, my cup of tea, not my cup of tea, not he!
Not an ounce
Not a pinch
He's just an inch, too sure of himself for me
Girl: Well of course you've noticed his manly physique and that look in his eye
Girl: Well I'm sure he can cut almost any man out of size!
Girl: He must he as fierce as a tiger when he's mad
Girl: And I'll bet he cries like a little boy when he's sad
Babe: But I'm not at all in love, not at all in love not I!
Not a straw
Not a hair
I don't care if he's as strong as a lion
Or if he has the rest of you sighing
You may be sold but this girl aint buying!!
I'm not at all in love!
Girls: She's not at all in love, not at all in love, oh no
Babe: Not a pin, not a crumb
Girls: Must be the summer heat that gives her that glow
Cuz she's not at all in love, not at all in love, she cries!
Babe: Not a snip, not a bite
Girls: Must be the light from the ceiling shining there in her eyes
He's young and handsome, and smart, and we can't get over it
Babe: but this ladies heart he doesn't effect a bit
Girls: It's easy to see that her daffy grin is a grin she always wears
And she's breathless because she ran up a flight of stairs!
Girls: "obviously"
"naturally"
"Certainly"
"naturally"
"Certainly"
Ha!
She's not at all in love, not at all in love, not she
Babe: No I'm not!
Girls: Not a dot
Babe: Not a touch
Girls: No not much
Babe: When I fall in love, there will be no doubt about it
Cuz you will know by the way that I shout it
Girls (softly): Your shouting
Babe (softly): I haven't fallen
Girls: she hasn't fallen
Babe: I'm not at all in love!
Girls( pick up when she says at): She's not at all in love!

Everything Must Change
Everything Must Change
Composer(s): Bernard Ighner
Performer(s): Quincy Jones;
and various other artists
Everything must change
Nothing stays the same
Everyone must change
No one stays the same
The young become the old
And mysteries do unfold
Cause that's the way of time
Nothing and no one goes unchanged
There are not many things in life
You can be sure of
Except rain comes from the clouds
Sun lights up the sky
And hummingbirds do fly
Winter turns to spring
A wounded heart will heal
But never much too soon
Yes everything must change
The young become the old
And mysteries do unfold
Cause that's the way of time
Nothing and no one goes unchanged
There are not many things in life
You can be sure of
Except rain comes from the clouds
Sun lights up the sky
And butterflies do fly
Rain comes from the clouds
Sun lights up the sky
And music
And music
Makes me cry

I'm Not Afraid Of Life
I'm Not Afraid Of Life
Composer(s): Douglas Colvin
First release by: The Ramones - 1984
Covered by multiple other artists
I am not afraid of life
Of the poor man's struggle
Of the killer's knife
I am not afraid of life
Of an insane rage
Of the minimum wage
I am not afraid of life
I am not afraid of life
I am not afraid of life
But I see an old lady with a shopping bag
And I wonder is life a drag
I am not afraid of life
But it hurts so bad
I feel so mad
No one see the truth
There's nothing to gain
A life goes down the drain
Don't want to die at an early age
I am not afraid of life
I am not afraid of life
But I see a street crazy shivering with cold
Is it a crime to be old
There's the threat of the nuclear bomb
We know it's wrong
We know it's wrong
Is there a chance for peace
Will the fighting ever cease
Mankind's almost out of luck
A maniac could blow us up
I am not afraid of life
I am not afraid of life
But I get down on my knees and I pray
Is there hope for the world today

Everything Is Fresh Today
Everything Is Fresh Today ((aka The Raspberry Song (The Goons))
Composer(s): Gunn
Performer(s): Jack Hodges
In a little town where I belong
There's a most accomplished fellow
He's the leader of the village choir
And his voice is warm and mellow
He drives a fruit cart around the street
And everybody knows it
He doesn't sing or rave about his fruit
He simply blows it
He's doing it all day long
It's better than any song
Though it isn't very pretty
You've got to admit it's cute
So, all together, let it go
Eat more fruit
It's certainly come to stay
It's a treat to hear him say
Hey, fruit's in season, plenty berries
Apples, plums and the old raspberries
Everything is fresh today
Every friday night when work is done
He never wastes a minute
To the village hall he hurries 'round
Where he sings just like a linnet
To hear him blow a melody
It's great, you can't deny it
And if you've nothing else to do
I'd like you all to try it
Get ready and do it now
It's easy when you know how
Though it isn't very pretty
You've got to admit it's cute
So, all together, let it go
Eat more fruit
It's certainly come to stay
It's a treat to hear him say
Hey, do-te-la-so-fa-me-re-do
Everything is fresh today
It's certainly come to stay
It's a treat to hear him say
Hey, fruit's in season, plenty berries
Apples, plums and the old raspberries
Everything is fresh today

Everything Is Broken
Everything Is Broken
Composer(s): Bob Dylan
Performer(s): Bob Dylan;
and various other artists
Broken lines, broken strings
Broken threads, broken springs
Broken idols, broken heads
People sleeping in broken beds
Ain't no use jiving
Ain't no use joking
Everything is broken
Broken bottles, broken plates
Broken switches, broken gates
Broken dishes, broken parts
Streets are filled with broken hearts
Broken words never meant to be spoken
Everything is broken
Seem like every time you stop and turn around
Something else just hit the ground
Broken cutters, broken saws
Broken buckles, broken laws
Broken bodies, broken bones
Broken voices on broken phones
Take a deep breath, feel like you're chokin'
Everything is broken
Every time you leave and go off someplace
Things fall to pieces in my face
Broken hands on broken ploughs
Broken treaties, broken vows
Broken pipes, broken tools
People bending broken rules
Hound dog howling, bull frog croaking
Everything is broken

Composer(s): Roger Hodgson
Performer(s): Roger Hodgson
Oh what a way to go, we're goin' down slow
We're movin' to the rhythm, we're letting it flow
We're steppin' out of time, it's freaking your mind
We're livin' in the body, and we're doin' just fine
Tell me, tell me that you love me
Tell me, where's you milk and honey
You know we're doin' alright
Well round and round we go, we're goin' down slow
We're shakin' to the rhythm, we're letting it flow
We're not afraid of time, it imprisons your mind
We're livin' in the body, and we're doin' just fine
Tell me, tell me that you love me
Tell me, where's you milk and honey
You know we're doin' alright
Tell me, tell me that you love me
Tell me, where's you milk and honey
You know we're doin' alright
I'm not afraid of nothing, I'm not afraid to cry
I'm not afraid to live, I'm not afraid to love, I'm not afraid to die
I'm not afraid of laughter, I'm not afraid of tears
I'm not afraid to look, I'm not afraid to learn, I'm not afraid to hear
I'm not afraid of darkness, I'm not afraid of night
I'm not afraid to win, I'm not afraid to lose, I'm not afraid to fight
I'm not afraid of anger, I'm not afraid of war
I'm not afraid to live, I'm not afraid to die, I'm not afraid at all
'Cause it's a time for singing, and it's a time to dance
And it's a time to run, and it's a time to jump, and it's a time to chance
And it's a time for giving, and it's a time to share
And it's a time to choose, and it's a time to do, and it's a time to dare

Everything Is Beautiful
Everything Is Beautiful
Composer(s): Ray Stevens
Performer(s): Ray Stevens;
and various other artists
Jesus loves the little children
All the children of the world
Pretty yellow black and white
They are precious in his sight
Jesus loves the little children of the world
Everything is beautiful
in it's own way
like a starry summer night
on a snow covered winter's day
And everybody's beautiful
In an own way
Under god's heaven
The world's gonna find a way
There is none so blind
As he who will not see
We must not close up minds
We must let our thoughts be free
Every hour that passes by
You know the world gets a little bit older
It's time to realize
That people lies
in the eyes of the beholder
Everything is beautiful
We shouldn't care about the length of his hair
Of the color of his skin
Don't worry about what shows from without
But the love that lives within
We're gonna get old again now
Everything is gonna work out fine
Just take a little time to the calm good side my friend
And spittle in out in your mind
Everything is beautiful

I'm Not A Know-It-All
Composer(s): Buddy Kaye; Fred Spielman
Performer(s): Frankie Lymon & The Teenagers; Cecil Barber; Garland Jeffreys
I'm not a know-it-all
Don't know why the grass is tall
Don't know why there's morning dew
I only know that I love you
I'm not a know-it-all
Don't know why the raindrops fall
Don't know what's beyond the blue
I only know that I love you
With things that are not of you alone
I'm not so wise
And still I could write a book of my own
When I look in your eyes!
I'm not a know-it-all
Yet I know I'll run to you
The very moment that you call
I love you, know you know it all!

Composer(s): David Gates
Performer(s): Bread;
and various other artists
You sheltered me from harm
Kept me warm, kept me warm
You gave my life to me
Set me free, set me free
The finest years I ever knew
were all the years I had with you
Chorus:
I would give anything I own
Give up me life, my heart, my home
I would give everything I own
just to have you back again
You taught me how to love
What its of, what its of
You never said too much
but still you showed the way
and I knew from watching you
Nobody else could ever know
the part of me that can't let go
Chorus
Is there someone you know
you're loving them so
but taking them all for granted
You may lose them one day
someone takes them away
and they don't hear the words you long to say
Chorus
Just to touch you once again...

I'm Nobody's Baby
I'm Nobody's Baby
Composer(s): Benny Davis; Milton Ager; Lester Santley
Performer(s): Judy Garland
I'm nobody's baby, I wonder why
Each night and day I pray the Lord up above
Please send me down somebody to love
But nobody wants me, I'm blue somehow
Won't someone hear my plea and take a chance with me
Because I'm nobody's baby now
No, nobody's baby
And I've got to know the reason why
Last week I was walking down the street and met a boy and I said
"Hey, maybe I was meant for you"
But he only tipped his hat and shook his head
Kept on walking down the avenue
Oh, nobody wants me, I'm might blue somehow
Won't someone hear my plea and take a little chance with me?
Because I'm no-nobody's baby, I'm blue somehow
Won't someone hear my plea and take a chance with me?
There's no denying I'm crying
I'm lonesome on my own-some
I don't mean maybe, I'm nobody's baby!

If I were Lord Byron
I'd write you, sweet siren
A poem inspiring'
A killer diller ooh
Too bad, I'm no poet
I happen to know it
But anyway
Here's a roundelay
That I wrote last night about you
You are to me everything
My life to be, everything
When in my sleep you appear
Fair skies of deep blue appear
Each time our lips touch again
I yearn for you, oh, so much again
You are my favorite star
My haven in heaven above
You are everything I love
