I'm The Guy Who Found The Lost Chord


I'm The Guy Who Found The Lost Chord
Composer(s): Earl Brent; Jimmy Durante
Performer(s): Jimmy Durante; Roy Bargy



I was sitting at my piano, the other day
But my mind was ill at ease
They were coming to take it away that afternoon
I was all by myself in a mellow mood
Improvising symphonies
My right hand was playing Mozart's minuet
And at the same time my left hand was playing; have a banana; from Carmen
And at the same time my mouth was whistling a sextet from Luicini
And at the same time What do you think my foot was doing?
While keeping time it was cracking walnuts; see I had to eat too
Then in the midst of all soliloquy
I found it, I found it
The Lost Chord
The Lost Chord!
So let's celebrate I'm feeling great
I'm the guy that found the Lost chord
I'll have my name in the hall of fame
'cos I went and found that lost chord

Everyone knows Tchaikovsky wasn't recognised for 300 years
Brahms wasn't recognised for 400 years
Beethoven wasn't recognised for 500 years
But I can't wait that long I've only got two changes of clothes!

People said I was mad. but that didn't trouble me
They said Mozart was mad
They said Puccini was mad
They said Louis was mad
Who's Louis?
My uncle, he was mad!

So let's celebrate I'm feeling great
I'm the guy that found the Lost chord

You know it wasn't easy finding that Lost chord
Working in my attic I didn't sleep for days and days
I'd be in terrible shape if I hadn't slept nights!
First I put an A flat with a B minor
Then I put a B minor with and F major
Then I put and F minor with a B major
Then I tried an A and a B and a B and a C
And a C and a D and a D and E and an E and a F
And a F and a G
What a piano no apostrophe's!

And this is what I came up with (plays wrong chord)

What's happened that isn't the chord (plays wrong chord)
Neither is that (plays wrong chord)
Neither is that (plays wrong chord)
And neither is that!
I lost the chord a catatstrophe
I'm gonna sit down on the keyboard of this piano until the chord is return

(sits down bum plays the right chord)

That's it the lost chord!
I found it, I found by sitting on the piano keyboard
Strange I usually play by ear!

So let's celebrate I'm feeling great
I'm the guy that found the Lost chord

I'm The Greatest


I'm The Greatest
Composer(s): John Lennon
Performer(s): Ringo Starr; David Hentschel; John Lennon



When I was a little boy
Way back home in Liverpool
My mama told me, I was great

Then when I was a teenager
I knew that I had got something going
All my friends told me I was great

And now I'm a man
A woman took me by the hand
And you know what she told me ... I was great

I was in the greatest show on earth
For what it was worth
Now I'm only thirty-two
And all I wanna do, is boogaloo

Hey!

I looked in the mirror
I saw my wife and kids
And you know what they told me ... I was great

Yes, my name is Billy Shears
You know it has been for so many years
Now I'm only thirty-two
And all I wanna do, is boogaloo

Hey, hey, hey, (hey, hey, hey) yeah

(hey, hey, hey)

I'm the greatest and you better believe it, baby

Ho! Ho! Ho!

I'm gonna be the greatest in this world (ho!)
In the next world and in any world! (hey!)

Alright, alright, alright, alright, alright, alright
Alright, alright, alright, alright, alright, alright

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, all right

Eyes Of The Immigrant


Eyes Of The Immigrant
Composer(s): Eric Andersen
Performer(s): Eric Andersen



They came by day, and they came by night
They came like cattle they were packed so tight
They rolled on the stairways and they slept on the decks
And the only thing they knew was they could not turn back
They came from Sweden and they came from France
They came from up and down along the continent
They came in floods and they came in waves
They came for glory and they came to escape
Some held their breath in the morning light
As New York Harbor came into sight
They leaned on the rails and the decks just to see
A statue of a lady known as "Liberty"
Their hands gripped the rails and their eyes peered up
Some were crying with their eyes; some were crying with their hearts
They were dreaming of the future; they were crying for a chance
Maybe the son of a shipper could even be the president

Chorus:
Eyes of the healthy and eyes of the lame
Eyes of the free and the eyes of the chain
Eyes of the wealthy and eyes of the poor
Eyes of an Indian who rides nevermore
Always remember and never forget
Beneath all the dirt and beneath all the sweat
Who looked to the future and knew what it meant
But the hearts and the minds and the souls and the dreams
In the eyes, eyes of the Immigrant

Out of Ellis Island they poured like sheep
Onto the land and into the streets
With their hands on their children and their coats on their backs
They brought nothing more than they could fit in their sacks
Carpenters, steel workers, firemen, and cops
Peddled rags full of shoes in all the neighborhood shops
They worked with their hands and they worked with their backs
Bringin' coal from the ground and puttin' smoke up the stacks
Wave after wave the flood never stopped
Soon the ones on the bottom they rose to the top
They dreamed and they said no matter how its gotten bad
You give to your kids the things that you never had
Be doctors and lawyers and chairmen of the boards
Be the guardians of peace and protectors in the wars
You work with your knowledge and your skills and your minds
Now its everybody's future that you hold in your sights

Chorus

Some tried to settle, some couldn't out of fear
Some kept dreaming of the new frontier
Everybody was convinced they had a place in the sun
That it wasn't what you were so much as what you could become
Everybody's future wasn't everybody's dream
The land could be barren and the streets could be mean
It was a fact in the suburbs and the farms and the shacks
That you only knew ahead there ain't no room to fall back
This is the land and the home of the free
That's what we want the whole world to believe
Not everybody makes it to the top of the heap
Some were brought in chains from far across the sea
Some lost their way and some lost track
And some realized that you can't look back
And sometimes you hear it but you don't know where
The sound of the waves still crashing in your ear

Chorus

Of the immigrant

I'm The Fool In Love With The Fool


I'm The Fool In Love With The Fool
Performer(s): Reba McEntire



You don't know me but I know who you are
Mind if I sit down?
Do I look familiar?
If I don't well I see
I'm sure you've seen me around
I know you've probably heard my name
Though we've not been introduced

I'm the fool in love with the fool
Who's still in love with you

If you've got a minute
I'll buy you a drink
I've got something to say
It might sound crazy
But last night in his sleep
I heard him call out your name
This ain't the first time
He's done it before
And it's hard to face the truth

I'm the fool in love with the fool
Who's still in love with you

I know love is a fragile thing
But I'm trying hard to make it last
But it ain't easy holding onto my dream
When he's holding onto the past

Just one more thing before I go
I'm not here to put you down
You don't love him and that's a fact
Girl I've seen you around
But you hold his heart in the palm of you hands
And it's breaking mine in two

Cos I'm the fool in love with the fool
Who's still in love with you
I'm the fool in love with the fool
Who's still in love with you

Eyes Of The Girl


Eyes Of The Girl
Composer(s): Wang Chung
Performer(s): Wang Chung



On her televison, on her mamma’s radio
She could paint a picture
More alive than all she ought to know
Her imagination running wild, she let it grow
In her imagination
Oh she felt she loved him so

Chorus:
The eyes of the girl are following me
Looking for the man that she pinned on me
The tears for a love that could never be
Now it’s all over
They’re raining on me
Oh it’s raining

It’s an empty world with a lifetime on your hands
Oh we must believe that
Something someone somewhere understands
Our imagination wants to capture what we feel
In our imagination
Everything is real

Repeat chorus

Tears fall from the eyes of the girl
And the girl is watching me
Tears fall from the eyes of the girl
And the girl is watching me

Baby, please release me from the power of your mind
Baby, please release me, leave this crazy scheme behind
Baby, please release me
Baby, please release me

Repeat chorus

Tears fall from the eyes of the girl
And the girl is watching me

I'm The Boy


I'm The Boy
(English Version: Boy Toy - 2006)
Composer(s): Serge Gainsbourg
First release by: Serge Gainsbourg - 1984



I'm the boy that can enjoy invisibility
I'm the boy le garçon qui a le don d'invisibilité

Ombre parmi les ombres
Des nocturnes torrides
Je me perds dans le nombre
Pour atteindre au sordide

I'm the boy that can enjoy invisibility
I'm the boy le garçon qui a le don d'invisibilité

Masque parmi les masques
Tragiques ou d'amertume
Le cuir noir et les casques
Scintillant sous la lune

I'm the boy that can enjoy invisibility
I'm the boy le garçon qui a le don d'invisibilité

Âme parmi les âmes
Fébriles dans leurs angoisses
Lorsque brille une lame
Ou un regard salace

I'm the boy that can enjoy invisibility
I'm the boy le garçon qui a le don d'invisibilité

Homme parmi les hommes
Dans le noir ou l'ivoire
Recherchant les symptômes
D'orgasmes illusoires

I'm the boy that can enjoy invisibility
I'm the boy le garçon qui a le don d'invisibilité

Putain parmi les putes
J'enfonce dans la fange
Où s'étreignent les brutes
Et se saignent les anges

I'm the boy that can enjoy invisibility
I'm the boy le garçon qui a le don d'invisibilité

Eyes Of Love


Eyes Of Love
Composer(s): Bob Ezrin; Trevor Rabin
Performer(s): Trevor Rabin



Are you waiting for your freedom
Or a love you just don't know?
I can see you through my window
Did you know your feelings show?
Are you looking towards the border?
Hold out for something new

Does the white, bright, right and degradation
Wear you down the way we want it to
Calling on you for confirmation
In a way that we feel is good for you

Chorus
Eyes of love look!
Down on me
When you gonna see
Eyes of love send down the key
Will you deliver me

Are you searching for an answer?
Are you questioning it all?
I can reach you
But I can't feel you
Are you living in surrender
Or just waiting for a call?

Does the white, bright, right and degradation
Wear you down the way we want it to
We will control the information
In a way that we feel is good for you

Chorus

Boy Toy (Marc Almond)


Boy Toy
(Adapted from: I'm The Boy - 1984)
Composer(s): Serge Gainsbourg; Paul Ives, Boris Bergman
Performer(s): Marc Almond & Trash Palace - 2006



A shadow within shadows
Uncounted nights of sleaze
A pointed, broken arrow
To sting, to hurt, to please
A mask within masks
Pathetic and bitter
Black leather's in to last
Shining eyes lead to glitter
I'm the boy who can enjoy invisibility
I'm the boy who can enjoy invisibility
I'm the boy, a see-through toy that no-one else can see
A soul within souls
Weakened from the fear
A blade, a look, that's all

Takes two to get that near
A man within manhood
Back room without a view
White nights long, black nights good
Wounded knees for Soldier Blue
I'm the boy who can enjoy invisibility
I'm the boy who can enjoy invisibility
I'm the boy, a see-through toy that no-one else can see
A hooker amongst the whores
On a rough ride to hell
Where the big boys play ball
While angels won't tell
I'm the boy who can enjoy invisibility
I'm the boy who can enjoy invisibility
I'm the boy who can enjoy invisibility
I'm the boy, a see-through toy that no-one else can see

Eyes Of Fire


Eyes Of Fire
Composer(s): Ritchie Blackmore;
Joe Lynn Turner; Bob Rondinelli
Performer(s): Rainbow



Hungry and wild she was born to the night
A demon, a daughter or madness
One look from her eyes could burn you alive...
Drown you in oceans of sadness
Oh - even the deadly shades of night
Won't let me hide...from her eyes of fire

Face in the mirror we meet eye to eye
Passions of eternal fire
Desperately wanting and out of control
Dancing on winds of desire
Oh - even the deadly shades of night
Won't let me hide...from her eyes of fire

Curtain of darkness, screams of delight
Taunts me with her sirens calling...
I got to be strong but I can't hang on
Into the flames I am falling...
Oh - even the deadly shades of night
Won't let me hide (no, no, no, no)
from her eyes of fire...

She keeps burning...
She keeps burning me, burning me
Burning me, burning me down
Eyes of fire

I'm telling you now
I'm telling you right away
I'll be staying for many a day
I'm in love with you now

I'm telling you now

Eyes Of Blue


Eyes Of Blue
Composer(s): Paul Carrack
Performer(s): Paul Carrack



I want to know how does it feel
Behind those eyes of blue
You’ve made your mistakes
And now your heart aches
Behind those eyes of blue

People may say you’ve had your chance
And let it slip away
But hard as they try
There’s a dream that won’t die
Behind those eyes of blue

Maybe once in a while
There’s a trace of a smile
Behind those eyes of blue
But it’s painfully clear
There’s a river of tears
Behind those eyes of blue

You know life is too short
For comprimising
Take a hold of your dream
And realise it

You know there’s nothing left
To stand in your way
Except yourself and I know
Though your heart's full of pain
That a hope still remains
Behind those eyes of blue

I'm Tellin' The Birds, Tellin' The Bees


I'm Tellin' The Birds, Tellin' The Bees (aka How I Love You)
Composer(s): Lew Brown; Cliff Friend
Performer(s): The Westerners
and multiple other artists



Through fields of golden flowers
Where we spent sunny hours
I'm strolling along, thinking of you

I told the four leaf clover
My lonesome days are over
I talk about you all the day through

I'm tellin' the birds, tellin' the bees
Tellin' the flowers, tellin' the trees
How I love you

I'm tellin' the moon, tellin' the sun
Tellin' the stars and tellin' each one
How I love you

I feel so happy and I show it
I want the whole wide world to know it

The shady old nook, the shadows that fall
The little old brook, I'm tellin' them all
How I love you

Tellin' the birds, tellin' the bees
Tellin' the flowers and tellin' the trees
How I love you

Tellin' the moon, tellin' the sun
Tellin' the stars and tellin' each one
How I love you

I feel so happy and I show it
I want the whole wide world to know it

The shady old nook, the shadows that fall
The little old brook, I'm tellin' them all
How I love you

Eyes Of A Stranger


Eyes Of A Stranger
Composer(s): Andy Summers
Performer(s): Andy Summers



Beautiful building
burning on 14th street
eyes of a stranger
sleeping through August heat

We could be lovers
we could even be friends
holding each other
haking the heroes end

My eyes have seen them

Everything's perfect
there's not a cloud in the sky
knife in the water
everything passing us by

We could be lovers
building a perfect wall
holding each other
taking the beautiful fall

My eyes have seen them

Composer(s): Chuck Berry
Performer(s): Chuck Berry
and multiple other artists



Let me tell you 'bout a girl I know
I met her walking down an uptown street
She's so fine, you know, I wish she was mine
I get shook up every time we meet

I'm talkin' 'bout you
Nobody but you
Gal, I do mean you
I'm just tryin' to get a message to you

Let me tell you 'bout a girl I know
I tell you now she looks so good
Got so much skill, such a beautiful build
She ought to be somewhere in Hollywood

I'm talkin' bout you
Nobody but you
Come on give me a cue
So I can get a message to you

Let me tell you 'bout a girl I know
Sittin' right here by my side
Lovely indeed, that's why I asked her if she'd
Promise me someday she would be my bride

I'm talkin' 'bout you
I do mean you
Nobody but you
Come on let me get a message through...

Eye Of The Zombie


Eye Of The Zombie
Composer(s): John C. Fogerty
Performer(s): John C. Fogerty



Hoo! Oooooh!

Shadows on the mountain, and the night begins to fall
Gather up the children, 'fore the darkness takes us all
Tribe has come together, standin' naked against the night
Twenty feet from the fire, the evil waits with zombie eyes

Chorus:
Eye-eye-eye eye of the Zombie!
Eye-eye-eye eye of the Zombie!

Oh! Sneakin' through the long grass on leopard feet silently
A beast already dead comes to join the dance on the zombie
Ooh! Time has come again - again the moment of truth
The terror is at hand, and there's nothin' you can do

Chorus

Oh! Hoo! Aaa-aah! Hoo! Aaa-aaa-aaaah!

From out of nowhere he's there, flashing hideous teeth
Panic in the crowd, helter-skelter, we're brought to our knees
Back to the darkness, back on the mountain he stands
You can't fight a shadow, you can't kill a dead man

I'm Stone In Love With You


I'm Stone In Love With You
Composer(s): Thom Bell; Linda Creed
Performer(s): Johnny Mathis



If I could I'd like to be, a great big movie star
Overnight sensation; drive a big expensive car
I would buy you everything your little heart desires
These things I do, 'cause I'm stone in love with you
(Stone in love with you)

If I were a businessman, I'd sit behind a desk
I'd be so successful; I would scare Wall Street to death
I would hold a meeting for the press to let them know
I did it all, 'cause I'm stone in love with you
(Stone in love with you)

I'm just a man, an average man
doing everything the best I can
But if I could, I'd give the world to you...

I'd like to someday be the owner of the first house on the moon
There would be no neighbours, and no population boom
You might say that all I do is dream my life away
I guess it's true, 'cause I'm stone in love with you
I guess it's true, 'cause I'm stone in love with you
I guess it's true, 'cause I'm stone in love with you

Eye Of The Tiger


Eye Of The Tiger
Composer(s): Jim Peterik; Frank Sullivan
Performer(s): Survivor;
and various other artists



Risin' up, back on the street
Took my time, took my chances
Went the distance
Now I'm back on my feet
Just a man and his will to survive
So many times, it happened too fast
You trade your passion for glory
Don't lose your grip on the dreams of the past
You must fight just to keep them alive

* It's the eye of the tiger
It's the thrill of the fight
Risin' up to the challenge
Of our rival
And the last known survivor
Stalks his prey in the night
And his fortune must always be
Eye of the tiger

Face to face, out in the heat
Hangin' tough, stayin' hungry
They stack the odds
Still we take to the street
Fot the kill with the skill to survive
(Repeat *)

Risin' up straight to the top
Had the guts, got the glory
Went the distance
Now I'm not gonna stop
Just a man and his will to survive
(Repeat *)

The eye of the tiger
The eye of the tiger
The eye of the tiger
The eye of the tiger

I'm Still Waiting Here For You


I'm Still Waiting Here For You
Composer(s): Paul Anka
Performer(s): Paul Anka



(You didn't even say goodbye)
So I sit here and I cry
there's nothing left for me to do
but I'm still waiting here for you

(You didn't even say you cared)
Now my love in you is shared
I don't know why you made me blue
but I'm still waiting here for you

I will walk through the storm
All my tears fell like the rain
I will long & I will mourn
Till you're back in my arms once again

(So darling, won't you hear my plea)
And please return your love to me
And then I will not be so blue
And I'll no longer wait for you

(So darling, won't you hear my plea)
Darling, hear my plea
(Please return your love to me)
Return your love to me
And I will not be so blue
And I'll no longer wait for you
(You didn't even say goodbye)

Eye In The Sky


Eye In The Sky
Composer(s): Eric Woolfson; Alan Parsons
Performer(s): The Alan Parsons Project;
and various other artists



Don't think sorry's easily said
Don't try turning tables instead
You've taken lots of Chances before
But I'm not gonna give anymore
Don't ask me
That's how it goes
Cause part of me knows what you're thinkin'

Don't say words you're gonna regret
Don't let the fire rush to your head
I've heard the accusation before
And I ain't gonna take any more
Believe me
The sun in your Eyes
Made some of the lies worth believing

Chorus:
I am the eye in the sky
Looking at you
I can read your mind
I am the maker of rules
Dealing with fools
I can cheat you blind
And I don't need to see any more
To know that
I can read your mind, I can read your mind

Don't leave false illusions behind
Don't Cry cause I ain't chnaging my mind
So find another fool like before
Cause I ain't gonna live anymore believing
Some of the lies while all of the Signs are deceiving
