I'm On My Way To Mandalay


I'm On My Way To Mandalay
Composer(s): Al. Bryan; Fred Fisher



One I love, far away, far away, far away
Land of Love, Mandalay Mandalay, Mandalay
Where the waving trees kiss the ocean breeze
In a garden fair, 'mid the roses there
I'm goin' to find someone who waits for me across the sea

All night long, by the sea, by the sea, by the sea
Her love song Rings for me, rings for me, rings for me
All the world will seem just a lovely dream
And I'll never stray far from Mandalay
I'll live for one who lives alone for me in days to be

I'm on my way to Mandalay
Beneath the shelt'ring palms I want to stray
Oh, let me live and love for aye
On that Island far away
I'm sentimental for my Oriental love, so sweet and gentle
That's why I'm on my way to Mandalay
I've come to say "Good-bye"

Evidence Of Love


Evidence Of Love
Composer(s): Steve Diamond; Chris Farron
Performer(s): Gregg Allman



When I look for the love in your eyes
You turn away
And there's nothing as loud as the words
We never say
Look at us now, standing on the edge again
Look at us now, it's not too late to try again
I need some...

Evidence of love, to keep me going on
Please show me some
Evidence of love, and I'll be here
I still believe we can see it through
There's just so much, that I can do
It doesn't make sense, without some evidence of love

There's a cold, cold look on your face
Is it saying good-bye?
'Cause there's nothing as cold as the ashes
When the fire has died
Talk to me now, tell me what you're missing
Talk to me now, I'll try and find your heart again
I need some...

Evidence of love, to keep me going on
Please show me some
Evidence of love, and I'll be here
I still believe we can see it through
There's just so much, that I can do
It doesn't make sense, without some evidence of love

Stand and fight
Try to say what's on your mind, baby
So much is on the line
There's a chance we'll make it right

Look at us now, standing on the edge again
Look at us now, it's not too late to try again
I need some...

Evidence of love, to keep me going on
Please show me some
Evidence of love, and I'll be here

I'm On My Way To Dublin Bay


I'm On My Way To Dublin Bay
Composer(s): Stanley Murphy
Performer(s): The Peerless Quartet



Michael Shea he marched away with the Dublin Fusiliers
And he left the town in cheers, but he left his girl in tears
But in the rattle of the battle, Michael stood his test
And he won a Sergeant's uniform and a medal on his chest
He got a two month's furlough and he started on his way
His Irish eyes a dancin' as the Boys heard him say

Goodbye! I'm on my way to dear old Dublin Bay
That's why I'm feelin' gay
For oh! I know sweet Molly-O
My colleen, fair to see, is waiting there for me
Her heart with love a bubblin'
On Dublin Bay

Michael Shea reached Dublin Bay when the spring was in the air
And he found his colleen fair, and he hugged her like a bear
He took her down to Dublin town and Father John Malloy
Tied a doublin' knot right on the spot for Molly and her boy
Then on an Irish jaunting car beside her bold gossoon
She learned to sing this chorus by the risin' o' the moon

Goodbye! I'm on my way to dear old Dublin Bay
That's why I'm feelin' gay
For oh! I know sweet Molly-O
My colleen, fair to see, is waiting there for me
Her heart with love a bubblin'
On Dublin Bay

Goodbye! I'm on my way to dear old Dublin Bay
That's why I'm feelin' gay
For oh! I know sweet Molly-O
My colleen, fair to see, is waiting there for me
Her heart with love a bubblin'
On Dublin Bay

Évidemment


Évidemment
Composer(s): Michel Berger
Performer(s): France Gall; Attila Bardoczy;
Eva Fabian; Lara Fabian; Laurence Jalbert



Y a comme un goût amer en nous
Comme un goût de poussière dans tout
Et la colère qui nous suit partout

Y a des silences qui disent beaucoup
Plus que tous les mots qu'on avoue
Et toutes ces questions qui ne tiennent pas debout

Evidemment
Évidemment
On danse encore
Sur les accords
Qu'on aimait tant

Évidemment
Évidemment
On rit encore
Pour les bêtises
Comme des enfants
Mais pas comme avant

Et ces batailles dont on se fout
C'est comme une fatigue, un dégoût
A quoi ça sert de courir partout
On garde cette blessure en nous
Comme une éclaboussure de boue
Qui n'change rien, qui change tout

Évidemment
Évidemment
On rit encore
Pour les bêtises
Comme des enfants
Mais pas comme avant
Pas comme avant

I'm On My Way Back To The Old Home


I'm On My Way Back To The Old Home
Composer(s): Bill Monroe
Performer(s): Bill Monroe
and multiple other artists



Back in the day of my childhood
In the evening when everything was still
I used to listen to the foxes
And my dad in them old Kentucky hills

I'm on my way back to the old home
That road winds on up the hill
But there's no light in the window
That shines long ago where I lived

Soon my childhood days are over
I had to leave my old home
For dad and mom was called to heavebn
We'll I'm left in this world all alone

I'm on my way back to the old home
That road winds on up the hill
But there's no light in the window
That shines long ago where I lived

High in the hills of old Kentucky
Stands a fond spot in my memory
I'm on my way back to the old home
That light in the window I want to see

I'm on my way back to the old home
That road winds on up the hill
But there's no light in the window
That shines long ago where I lived

Evguénie Sokolov
Performer(s): Serge Gainsbourg



Mets ton masque à gaz Sokolov
Que tes fermentations anaérobies
Fassent éclater les tubas de ta renommée
Et que les vents irrépressibles
Transforment abscisses et ordonnées
En de sublimes anamorphoses

Everywhere you go sunshine follows you
Everywhere you go skies are always blue
Children love you they seem to know

Teeth like the pearl
Eyes with the heaven's blue)

You made me love you
I'm in a whirl

The whole world says "hello"
Everywhere you go

"Hello"

Everywhere you go

I'm On Fire (Bruce Springsteen)


I'm On Fire
Composer(s): Bruce Springsteen
First release by: Bruce Springsteen - 1984
Covered by multiple other artists



Hey little girl is your daddy home
Did he go away and leave you all alone
I got a bad desire
I'm on fire

Tell me now baby is he good to you
Can do to you the things that I do
I can take you higher
I'm on fire

Sometimes it's like, someone took a knife
Baby edgy and dull and cut a six-inch
Valley through the middle of my soul

At night I wake up with the sheets
Soaking wet and a freight train running
Through the middle of my head
Only you can cool my desire
I'm on fire

Everywhere
Composer(s): Larry Kahn; Tolchard Evans
Performer(s): David Whitfield; Tony Martin



You are everywhere, everywhere you’re there
Night and day you share with me
Now I know you’re gone
You still linger on
You’re a haunting memory

I walk an empty street
And somehow we meet
Yet no-one’s there but me
For now I’m on my own
I’ll never walk alone
For you are everywhere with me

I walk an empty street
And somehow we meet
Yet no-one’s there but me
For now I’m on my own
I’ll never walk alone
For you are everywhere with me

If you want a sweet, sweet love tonight
Call me and I'll make you feel alright

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

Yes, I am, I'm on fire

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
