I'm On Fire (5000 Volts)


I'm On Fire
Composer(s): Tony Eyers
Performer(s): 5000 Volts



If you want a sweet, sweet love tonight
Call me and I'll make you feel alright
When you're out and running around
Playing games all over town
Turn around, come on down, I'll be there
Yeah, yeah
If you want some sweet , sweet love from me
Take a chance with someone new you'll see
I can make your fire burn with the touch of just one kiss
Turn you on all night long
You'll be gone, gone, gone

Honey, now I'm on my way
I'm on fire
Yes, I am, I'm on fire
Honey, now I'm on my way
I'm on fire
I'm on fire, baby
Honey, now I'm on my way
I'm on fire, yes I am my baby
Honey, now I'm on my way
I'm on fire
I'm on fire, baby

Everytime I Turn Around


Everytime I Turn Around
Composer(s): Judy Hart Angelo; Gary Portnoy
Performer(s): Gary Portnoy



Maybe the world is blind
Or just a little unkind
Don't know

Seems you can't be sure
Of anything anymore
Although

You maybe lonely and then
One day you're smilin' again
Every time I turn around
I see the girl that turns my world around
Standing there

Everytime I turn around
Her spirit's lifting me right off the ground
What's gonna be?
Guess we'll just wait and see

I'm On A See-Saw


I’m On A See-Saw
Composer(s): Benny Carter; Vivian Ellis
Performer(s): Fats Waller
and multiple other artists



I’m on a see-saw
You throw me up and you throw me down
I don’t know when I’m here or there
Those dreams that we saw
You took them up and you knocked them down
I don’t whether you even care

First I was heaven-bound
Then I found you turned round
And as I hit the ground
Gee, that ain’t right, you know that

I’m on a see-saw
You throw me up and you throw me down
And altogether you don’t prepare

Oh my, I’m on a see-saw
Oh, you throw me up and you throw me down
Altogether you don’t prepare

Everytime I Think Of You


Everytime I Think Of You ((French Version: La Nuit Crie Au Secours (by Johnny Hallyday) - 1981)) Composer(s): Jack Conrad - Ray Kennedy First release by: The Babys - 1979



Everytime I think of you
It always turns out good
Everytime I've held you
I thought you understood
People say a love like ours
Will sure pass
But I know a love like ours
Will last and last
And baby I was wrong
Not knowing how
our love should go
(How our love)
(How our love should go)
But then I wasn't wrong
In knowing how our love would grow
(How our love)
(How our love would grow)
And everytime I think of you
Everytime
Everytime I think of you
Every single time
It always turns out good
Seasons come and seasons go
But our love will never die
Let me hold you darling
So you won't cry
Cause people say that our love affair
Will never last
But we know a love like ours
Will never pass
And baby I was wrong
Not knowing how our love should go
(How our love)
(How our love should go)
But then I wasn't wrong
In knowing how our love would grow
(How our love)
(How our love would grow)
And everytime I think of you
Everytime
Everytime I think of you
Every single time
It always turns out good
People say a love like ours
Will surely pass
But I know a love like ours
Will last and last
And baby I was wrong
Not knowing how our love should go
(How our love)
(How our love should go)
But I wasn't wrong
In knowing how our love would grow
(How our love)
(How our love would grow)
Everytime I think of you
Everytime I think of you
Everytime I think of you
It always turns out good
Everytime I think of you
Everytime I think of you
Everytime I think of you
Everytime
Everytime I think of you
Everytime I think of you (everytime)
Everytime I think of you
Everytime I think of you
Everytime I think of you (everytime)
Everytime I think of you
Everytime I think of you
Everytime I think of you (everytime)
Everytime I think of you

I'm Old Fashioned


I'm Old Fashioned
Composer(s): Jerome Kern; Johnny Mercer
First release by: Fred Astaire & Nan Wynn - 1942
Covered by multiple other artists



I am not such a clever one about the latest fads
I admit I was never one adored by local lads
Not that I ever tried to be a saint
I’m the type that they classify as quaint

I’m old fashioned, I love the moonlight
I love the old fashioned things
The sound of rain upon a window pane
The starry song that April sings
This years fancies are passing fancies
But sighing sighs, holding hands
These my heart understands

I’m old fashioned but I don’t mind it
That’s how I want to be
As long as you agree
To stay old fashioned with me

I’m old fashioned but I don’t mind it
That’s how I want to be
As long as you agree
To stay old fashioned with me

Everytime I See Him


Everytime I See Him
Composer(s): Tom Crain; Charlie Daniels; Taz DeGregorio;
Fred Edwards; Charlie Hayward; James Marshall
Performer(s): The Charlie Daniels Band



Thinks he's a toughguy
Superfly
Stays high
Sneakin down the alleyway to make another buy

Talkin bout a big deal
Big wheel
Nothins real
Wouldn't know the truth if it looked him in the eye

Sneakin out the back door
Top floor
Dirt poor
You know the boys gonna get himself in jail

Living on the back street
Concrete
Fast speed
Lost in the jungle with the tiger by the tail

Everytime I see him
Everytime I see him
Everytime I see him
He's just barely getting by
Everytime I see him
Everytime I see him
Everytime I see him
He's down there getting high

Midnight siren
Whats it mean
Bad dreams
Shiverin and shakin in the middle of the night

Down in a cold sweat
In debt
Upset
Hidin in the back room to keep ot of sight

Walkin that tough walk
Jivetalk
Double cross
Sneakin down the side street hidin from the sun

Makin them big plans
Big man
Be this man
Gonna make a million but he never gets it done

Everytime I see him
Everytime I see him
Everytime I see him
He's just barely getting by
Everytime I see him
Everytime I see him
Everytime I see him
He's down there getting high

Thinks he's a loverboy
Super joy
Tough toy
Thinks he's kinda sexy but the ladies say he ain't

Nothing but a no class
Jiveass
Movin fast
Wants to be a winner but the monkey says he can't

After hours nightspot
Whatcha got
Hot shot
Gotta keep movin just to keep from going down

The boy won't ever learn
Slow burn
Overturn
End up in a coffin there six feet in the ground

Everytime I see him
Everytime I see him
Everytime I see him
He's just barely getting by
Everytime I see him
Everytime I see him
Everytime I see him
He's down there getting high

I'm Nothing Without You


I'm Nothing Without You
Composer(s): Cy Coleman; David Zippel
Performer(s): Mel Tormé; Cleo Laine; Michael Feinstein



I'm nothing without you
Without you I lack what it takes
Unless we're combined
I have half a mind
To blow all my chances and breaks

Without you I'm bupkis
A flop who keeps dropping the ball
It's time to stop quaking
Start taking the lead
And you are the singular buddy i need

I'm nothing without you
Without you I'm nothing...

Stone:
Let's give this a Hollywood ending!

Stine, Stone & Gabby:
I'm nothing without you

Stone:
No hero

Stine:
A zero

Stine & Stone:
That's me

Gabby:
With you by my side

Stone:
There's no better guide

All Three:
On how to be all I can be

I'm nowhere without you
To doubt you is where I went wrong

And greatness can come from the sum of our parts

All:
From now and with on I'm with you
You is where I belong

Everytime


Everytime
Composer(s): Eddie Jacobson;
Olly Thomas; Dave Crane; Damien Green
Performer(s): Butterfingers



Every time I clean my room I make another mess
Every time I miss the bus I’m late for a test
Every time I’m reincarnated it’s in the lowest form
I leave my window open every time there is a storm
Every time I have a hang over I have to go to work
Every time I masturbate dry it tends to hurt
Every time I pat a dog he bites me on the hand
Every time I talk to aliens they don’t understand
Every time I skate I get another bruise
Every time I get drunk I vomit on my shoes
Every time I scratch the needle jumps
Every time I drink milk it comes out in lumps
Every time I freestyle I just talk shit
Every time I catch the bus there’s nowhere to sit
Every time I catch the train I’m hassled for a ticket
Every time I bat in cricket first ball takes a wicket
Every time I’m drunk at a party in a toga
I pull a damn hamstring to prove I do yoga
Every time I eat I get a pain in my chest
Every time I think it’s heartburn it’s cardiac arrest
Every time I make a phone call waiting interrupts
Every time I dump a load at someone’s house it won’t flush
Every time it won’t flush it stains the ceramic
If you ever see me happy it’s because I’m manic

(Chorus)
Born to fail
Born to fail

Every time I give advice it comes out wrong
Every time I get raided my lips are on the bong
Every time I score I get shitty leaf
I was living with another hobo until he heard me dis his chief
But every time we smoke a joint I end up with the roach
Every time I skip sport I get drilled by the coach
Every time I play footy I get tackled in the dirt
And I crack another rib and it really fucking hurts
Every time I brush my teeth I find another cavity
Every time I try to fly I discover gravity
Every time I have a craving of we’re out of food
Every time we spin the bottle I’m the one who ends up nude
Every time I give a girl an orgasm she fakes
Every time I jam it in the condom breaks
Every time I gamble I lose all my chips
And every time I eat all bran I get the shits
But every time I shit it takes about an hour
And there’s never any paper so I have to have a shower
But every time I shower the towel’s already wet
And it’s not wet with water but wet with cum and sweat
Every time I pluck my pubic hairs to make my self attractive
My dick gets sore and I fuck like a spastic
Every time I write a song radio stations ban it
Because when you play my records in reverse they’re satanic
Worship Satan
Worship Satan
Worship Satan
Worship Satan
Worship Satan
Worship Satan
Worship Satan
Worship Satan
Every time I make a joke people take me serious
Every time I go down on a girl she’s on her periods
Every time I drive a car a cop will pull me over
But I say that I’m someone else and that I’m sober
Every blind date turns out to be blind
My looks are all I have and that is why I mind
Every time I have the dream where I’m at the school dance
Every one is looking at me cos I don’t have any pants
Every time we play piggy in the middle I’m the pig
Every time we play tiggy I’m the one who’s it
Every time I lick a toad I get worts on my tongue
And every time I see a killer bee it’s when I’m getting stung
Every time I play scrabble I make the word “AT”
Every wet fart leaves a stain where I sat
Every time I fuck your mum she wants it in the bum
And every time I’m done it’s not because I’ve cum
Every time I crack onto a chick I pull my sack out
Every time I try to suck my dick I put my back out
Every time I catch a wave I hit a coral reef
And every time I order vegetarian I get beef

(Chorus) x2
Born to fail (I get paid)
Born to fail (a chick is not a vegetable)

I'm Not Your Fool Anymore


I'm Not Your Fool Anymore
Performer(s): Teddy Edwards



I'm not your fool
I'm not your fool
I'm not your fool
Not anymore

There was times when you were good to me
Now you can go, go, go
Never come back no more
It's all over It's all over

I'm not your fool
Not anymore
I'm not your fool
Not anymore

I tried, you know I tried
I tried so hard
I tried so hard
I tried so hard to satisfy you

I came runnin' at your every beck and call
And there were times you wouldn't even call at all
It's all over, It's all over

I'm not your fool
Not anymore
Not, not anymore

I don't need you
I don't need you
I don't need you
Not anymore

I used to lie awake at night
Cryin' the whole night through
But now I've found somebody new
To take the place of you
It's all over
It's all over

I'm not your fool
I'm not your fool
I'm not your fool
Not anymore

I'm not your fool
I'm not your fool
I'm not your fool
Not anymore
Not anymore
Not anymore

Everything's Up To Date In Kansas City


Everything's Up To Date In Kansas City
Composer(s): Richard Rodgers; Oscar Hammerstein II
Performer(s): Will Parker



I went to Kansas City on a Friday
By Saturday I learned a thing or two
But up 'till then I didn't have an idea
Of what the mod'rn world was comin' to
I counted twenty gas buggies goin' by theirselves
Almost every time I took a walk
An' then I put my ear to a bell telephone
An' a strange woman started into talk
What next! What next?

Everything's up to date in Kansas City
They gone about as fer as they can go
They went an' built a skyscraper seven stories high
About as high as a buildin' orta grow
Everything's like a dream in Kansas City
It's better than a magic lantern show
You can turn the radiator on whenever you want some heat
With every kind of comfort every house is all complete.
You could walk the privees in the rain and never wet your feet!
They've gone about as fer as they can go
They've gone about as fer as they can go!

Everything's up to date in Kansas City
They've gone about as fer as they can go
They got a big theatre they call a burleque
For fifty cents you could see a dandy show!
One of the gals is fat and pink and pretty
As round above as she was round below
I could swear that she was padded from her shoulder to her heel
But then she started dancin' and her dancin' made me feel
That every single thing she had was absolutely real!
She went about as fer as she could go
Yes, Sir! She went about as fer as she could go!

I'm Not Too Sorry (Now That You're Gone)
Composer(s): John Cale; Lou Reed
Performer(s): The Velvet Underground



If you think that it’s all right
You know what you’ll have to do
You’re walkin’ down 5th avenue
You’re seein’ things that aren’t true
Without you I ain’t gonna be waitin’
You’re not a hesitating, here it comes

I’m not too sorry
Now that you’re gone
I don’t think I’ll miss you
I found a new one

If you know that it’s not right
That I’ll see you some other night
But if you want it when you’re gone
You’ll find yourself another one
So now, ok
Worry, it’s around, oh, oh

I’m not too sorry
Now that you’re gone
I don’t think I’m sorry
’cause I found a new one
It wouldn’t break my heart
It wouldn’t make it hard to go around

Everything's Got A Time
Composer(s): Willie Dixon
Performer(s): Willie Dixon



Everything's got a time
From start to end
Somebody tell me
Where time begins
Please tell me the time
Tell me the time of day
Tell me must I go
Tell me must I stay

There's a time to eat
There's a time to drink
A time to act
There's a time to think
A time to save
And a time to spend
A time to start
And a time to end

There's a time to reap
There's a time to sow
A time to come
There's a time to go
A time to laugh
And a time to cry
A time to live
And a time to die

You'll be swell, you'll be great
Gotta have the whole world on a plate
Starting here, starting now
Honey, everything's coming up roses!
Clear the decks, clear the tracks
You got nothing to do but relax
Blow a kiss, take a bow
Honey, everything's coming up roses!

Now it's your inning
Stand the world on it's ear
Said it's spinning
That'll be just the beginning

Curtain up, light the lights
You got nothing to hit, but the heights
You'll be swell, you'll be great
I can tell, just you wait
The lucky star I talk about is due
Honey, everything's coming up roses
For me and for you!

You can do it
All you need is a hand
We can do it
Momma is gonna see to it

Curtain up, light the lights
We got nothing to hit but the heights
I can tell, wait and see
There's a bell, follow me
And nothing's gonna stop us
Till we're through
Honey, everything's coming up roses
And`daffodils
Everything's coming up
Sunshine and Santa Claus
Everything's gotta be
Bright lights and lollipops
Everything's coming up roses

For me and for you...

I'm Not The Marrying Kind
Composer(s): Hal David; Sherman Edwards
Performer(s): Elvis Presley



Show me a girl with a dimple on her cheek
Butter melts in her mouth when she opens it to speak
Show me a girl who is acting so refined
And I'll show you a girl with one thing on her mind

So I say "You know what?"
She says "What?", I say "What?
Oh, I'm not the marryin' kind
Well, you got what it takes
And it takes what you got
But I'm not the marryin' kind
Don't kiss me, don't claw me
Don't pet me, don't paw me
I won't leave my freedom behind"

I'm Not Moving


I'm Not Moving
Composer(s): Phil Collins
Performer(s): Phil Collins



If you feel it do it
You don't need a reason
For all you know it could be good for you
To show your feelings
Don't just leave them
Do the things you believe in, it's alright
Don't worry turn around, I will still be here
I'm not moving...no really
You just try and push me out
No, I'm not moving...no really
No, I'm not going anywhere tonight
If you think it, say it
'Cause no-one will stop you
Don't keep quiet, just 'cause you think you ought to
Feel free to shout it loud, speak your mind, spit it out
'Cause I'm not moving...no really
You just try and push me out
No I'm not moving I can sit it out
No really, there's no hurry
So don't worry turn around, I will still be here
If it hurts don't do it
'Cause no-one can take you make you drink
And no-one can tell you what you think
Remember if your spirit starts to sink
Don't worry turn around, I will still be here

Everything's All Right


Everything's All Right
Swedish Title: Nu Skall Du Bli Stilla
Composer(s): Andrew Lloyd Webber; Tim Rice
Performer(s): The Starlite Orchestra & Singers;
and various other artists



Mary:
Try not to get worried, try not to turn on to
problems that upset you, oh, don't you know
everything's all right, yes, everything's fine
and we want you to sleep well tonight
Let the world turn without you tonight
If we try, we'll get by, so forget all about us tonight

Sleep, and I shall soothe you, calm you and annoint you
myrrh for your hot forehead, oh, then you'll feel
everything's all right, yes, everything's fine
and it's cool and the ointment's sweet
for the fire in your head and feet
Close your eyes, close your eyes and relax
think of nothing tonight

Judas:
Woman, your fine ointment
brand new and expensive
could have been saved for the poor
Why has it been wasted?
We could have made maybe
three hundred silver pieces or more
People who are hungry, people who are starving
matter more than your feet and hair!

Mary:
Try not to get worried, try not to turn on to
problems that upset you, oh, don't you know
everything's all right, yes, everything's fine
and we want you to sleep well tonight
Let the world turn without you tonight
If we try, we'll get by, so forget all about us tonight

Jesus:
Surely you're not saying
we have the resources
to save the poor from their lot?
There will be poor always
pathetically struggling
Look at the good things you've got!
Think! While you still have me
Move! While you still see me
You'll be lost
You'll be so so sorry when I'm gone!

Mary:
Sleep, and I shall soothe you, calm you and annoint you
myrrh for your hot forehead, oh, then you'll feel
everything's all right, yes, everything's fine
and it's cool and the ointment's sweet
for the fire in your head and feet
Close your eyes, close your eyes and relax
think of nothing tonight
Close your eyes, close your eyes and relax
Close your eyes, close your eyes and relax
Close your eyes, close your eyes and relax
Close your eyes, close your eyes and relax
Close your eyes, close your eyes and relax
Close your eyes, close your eyes and relax
Close your eyes, close your eyes and relax
Close your eyes, close your eyes and relax
Close your eyes, close your eyes and relax
Close your eyes, close your eyes and relax

I'm Not Losing Sleep


I'm Not Losing Sleep
Composer(s): David Bowie
Performer(s): David Bowie



Yes, I've read the morning papers
Telling me that you've made money
Do you think I'm gonna crawl, then think again

Though I'm dressed in rags, I'm richer
Though I eat from tins, I'm healthier
Though I live in slums, I'm purer than you, my friend

Too bad, I'm not losing sleep
(Too bad) I'm just counting sheep
(Too bad) I'm not losing sleep, my friend

Look around and see the friends
The ones you left, our friends deserted
See the guys that used to talk and drink with you

Don't look down your nose at me
'Cause I won't ask your sympathy
I won't be your yes-sir man for anything

Too bad, I'm not losing sleep
(Too bad) I'm just counting sheep
(Too bad) I'm not losing sleep, my friend

I would walk with you
Talk with you, drink with you
If you drop that halo that you're wearing on the ground

Too bad, I'm not losing sleep
(Too bad) I'm just counting sheep
(Too bad) I'm not losing sleep, my friend

I can't get my satisfaction
Knowing you won't get reaction
What makes me the big attraction anyway

It's too bad, I'm not losing sleep
(Too bad) I'm just counting sheep
(Too bad) I'm not losing sleep, my friend
Too bad, I'm not losing sleep
(Too bad) I'm just counting sheep
(Too bad) I'm not losing sleep, my friend
Oh, it's too bad, I'm not losing sleep
(Too bad) I'm just counting sheep
(Too bad) I'm not losing sleep, my friend
