I'm Tired (Savoy Brown)


I'm Tired
Composer(s): Chris Youlden
Performer(s): Savoy Brown



I'm tired of being a fool
And my mind going from hot to cool
And trying to conform to others ideas
And someone else's rules

The life I'm living ain't mine
I'm supposed to feel that's fine
I didn't make the world I'm living in
And I ain't gonna toe the line

I'm tired of trying to be something I know ain't me
I'm tired of living up to what people expect me to be
You know some people are different
Now ain't that a crying shame
Now wouldn't be a real drag if we were all the same

And I'm not going to try to please
Eyes that just don't see
If I get myself together
You'll have the blues not me

I'm tired of trying to be something I know ain't me
I'm tired of living up to what people expect me to be
You know some people are different
Now ain't that a crying shame
Now wouldn't be a real drag if we were all the same

And I'm not going to try to please
Eyes that just don't see
If I get myself together
You'll have the blues not me

You'll have the blues not me

A Sailor's Christmas


A Sailor's Christmas
Composer(s): Jimmy Buffett; Roger Guth
Performer(s): Jimmy Buffett



Sail on the horizons gotta landfall rendezvous
Captain steers a well-known course, he steers straight and true
As he trims the sheets, he sings a song
He learned on boats and bars
Sailor spends his Christmas in a harbour 'neath the stars

He's traveled through the doldrums, typhoons and hurricanes
He's logged a million soggy miles with water on his brain
But Christmas is the season better suited for dry land

He'll tell some lies, meet some spies
And dance barefoot in the sand

(Chorus)
The sailor spends his Christmas in a harbour on the hook
Caye con les, no work today, let's shell the ol' log book
The waterfront is reveling, the season has begun
The sailor spends his Christmas in a harbour having fun

There's a party down at Le Selecte, music, rum and cheers
Faces in the shadows, God, I haven't seen for years
A mast and shroud fill with lights
'Neath the waning of the moon
They're an airy celebration in the realm of King Neptune

(Chorus)

Jesus was a fisherman who walked upon the sea
The North Pole is ocean's remote frozen balcony
The continents keep drifting but the children sing and play
'Cause nothing really matters, after all it's Christmas day

The sailor spends his Christmas in a harbour on the hook
Vaye con les, no work today, he read it in a book
The waterfront is reveling, the season has begun
A sailor spends his Christmas in a harbour having fun
A sailor spends his Christmas in a harbour having fun
Havin' fun... havin' fun...havin' fun

Im Tiefen Keller


Im Tiefen Keller
Composer(s): Ludwig Fischer; Karl Müchler
Performer(s): Ivan Rebroff; Letzenbergstare



Im tiefen Keller sitz' ich hier
Bei einem Faß voll Reben
Bin frohen Mut's und lasse mir
Vom Allerbesten geben
Der Küfer holt mir gleich 'ne neue Flasche vor
Gehorsam meinem Winke
Füllt mir das Glas
Ich hielt's empor
Und trinke, trinke, trinke

Mich plagt ein Dämon, Durst genannt
Und um ihn zu verscheuchen
Neh'm ich mein großes Glas zur Hand
Und lass mir Wodka reichen
Die ganze Welt, na ja, erscheint mir nun
In rosaroter Schminke
Ich könnte keinem böses tun
Wenn ich trinke, trinke, trinke!

I'm Through With Love


I'm Through With Love
Composer(s): Fud Livingston; Matty Malneck; Gus Kahn
Performer(s): Marilyn Monroe
and multiple other artists



I have given you my true love
But you love a new love
What am I supposed to do now
With you now, you're through?
You'll be on your merry way
And there's only this to say

I'm through with love
I'll never fall again
Said adieu to love
Don't ever call again
For I must have you or no one
Because I'm through with love

I've locked my heart
I'll keep my feelings there
I have stocked my heart
With an icy, Frigidaire
For I mean to care for no one
Because I'm through with love

Why did you lead me
to think you could care?
You didn't need me
for you had your share
of slaves around you
to hound you and swear
with deep emotion, devotion to you

Goodbye to spring and all it meant to me
It could never bring the things that used to be
For I must have you or no one
So I am through with love

Goodbye to spring and all it meant to me
It can never bring the thing that used to be
For I must have you or no one
Because I'm through with love

A New Dial


A New Dial (aka In Those Twelve Days)
(Traditional)



What are they that are but one?
We have one God alone
In heaven above sits on His throne

What are they which are but two?
Two testaments, the old and new
We do acknowledge to be true

What are they which are but three?
Three persons in the Trinity
Which make one God in unity

What are they which are but four
Four sweet Evangelists there are
Christ's birth, life, death which do declare

What are they which are but five?
Five senses, like five kings, maintain
In every man a several reign

What are they which are but six?
Six days to labor is not wrong
For God himself did work so long

What are they which are but seven?
Seven liberal arts hath God sent down
With divine skill man's soul to crown

What are they which are but eight?
Eight Beatitudes are there given
Use them right and go to heaven

What are they which are but nine?
Nine Muses, like the heaven's nine spheres
With sacred tunes entice our ears

What are they which are but ten?
Ten statutes God to Moses gave
Which, kept or broke, do spill or save

What are they which are but eleven?
Eleven thousand virgins did partake
And suffered death for Jesus' sake

What are they which are but twelve?
Twelve are attending on God's son
Twelve make our creed
The Dial's done

I'm The Urban Spaceman


I'm The Urban Spaceman
Composer(s): Neil Innes
Performer(s): The Bonzo Dog Band



I'm the urban spaceman baby, I've got speed
I've got everything I need
I'm the urban spaceman baby, I can fly
I'm a supersonic guy

I don't need pleasure
I don't feel pain
If you were to knock me down
I'd just get up again
I'm the urban spaceman babe and
I'm making out
I'm all about

I wake up every morning
with a smile upon my face
My natural exuberance
spills out all over the place
I'm the urban spaceman
I'm intelligent and clean
Know what I mean?

I'm the urban spaceman, as a lover second to none
It's a lot of fun

I never let my friends down
I've never made a boob
I'm a glossy magazine
an advert in the tube
I'm the urban spaceman babe, but here comes the twist
I don't exist

A Mom's Night Before Christmas


A Mom's Night Before Christmas



It was the night before Christmas, when all through the abode Only one creature was stirring, and she was cleaning the commode The children were finally sleeping, all snug in their beds While visions of Nintendo and Barbie, flipped through their heads The dad was snoring in front of the TV With a half-constructed bicycle on his knee So only the mom heard the reindeer hooves clatter Which made her sigh, "Now what's the matter?" With toilet bowl brush still clutched in her hand She descended the stairs, and saw the old man He was covered with ashes and soot, which fell with a shrug "Oh great!!" muttered the mom "Now I have to clean the rug" "Ho-Ho-Ho!!" cried Santa "I'm glad you're awake Your gift was especially difficult to make" "Thanks, Santa, but all I want is some time alone" "Exactly!!" he chuckled "I've made you a clone" "A clone?" she asked "What good is that? Run along, Santa I've no time for chit-chat" It was the mother's twin Same hair, same eyes, same double chin "She'll cook, she'll dust, she'll mop every mess You'll relax, take it easy, watch the Young and the Restless" "Fantastic!!" the mom cheered "My dream come true! I'll shop I'll read I'll sleep a whole night through!" From the room above, the youngest began to fret "Mommy?!? I'm scared, and I'm wet" The clone replied "I'm coming, sweetheart" "Hey," the mom smiled "She knows her part" The clone changed the small one, and hummed a tune As she bundled the child, in a blanket cocoon "You're the best mommy ever I really love you" The clone smiled and sighed "I love you, too" The mom frowned and said "Sorry, Santa, no deal That's my child's love that she's trying to steal" Smiling wisely Santa said "To me it is clear Only one loving mother is needed here" The mom kissed her child, and tucked her into bed "Thank you, Santa, for clearing my head I sometimes forget it won't be very long When they'll be too old, for my cradle-song" The clock on the mantle began to chime Santa whispered to the clone "It works every time" With the clone by his side, Santa said "Good night Merry Christmas, Mom You'll be alright"

I'm The Toughest
Composer(s): Peter Tosh
Performer(s): Peter Tosh; Bunny Wailer



Anything you can do
I can do it better
I'm the toughest
I'm the toughest
And I can do what you can't do
You'll never try to do what I do
I'm the toughest
I'm the toughest

Stop from doing wrongs
Change your foolish plans
Stop from doing wrongs
Just live up like a man

I'm the toughest
I'm the toughest

Now my little brothers
You've got to be good
Do what's right
Don't be bad-minded
Just take what's yours
And there'll be no fuss or fight

Stop from doing wrongs
Change your foolish plan
Stop from doing wrongs
Just live up like a man

I'm the toughest
I'm the toughest

Now my brothers
You've got to be good
Just do what you know is right
Don't be bad minded
Just take what's yours
And there'll be no fuss or fight

I said I love my brothers
I said I love my sisters
I don't covet my neighbor
And I love my neighbor

A Merry Christmas At Grandmother's


A Merry Christmas At Grandmother's
(Traditional)
Performer(s): The Andrews Sisters



Over the river and through the woods
To Grandmother's house we go
The horses await to carry the sleigh
Through the white and drifting snow

Over the river and through the woods
Oh how the wind does blow
It stings the toes and bites the nose
As over the ground we go

Oh, over the river and through the woods
Now Grandmother's cap I spy
Hurrah for the fun, is the pudding done
Hurrah for the pumpkin pie

Over the river and through the woods
And straight to the farmyard gate
Spring over the ground like a hunting hound
For this is Christmas day

Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas
Hark the bells are ringing
Hear the children singing
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas
Merry, Merry Christmas and a Glad New Year

Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas
Hark the bells are ringing
Hear the children singing
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas
Merry, Merry Christmas and a Glad New Year

Oh, over the river and through the woods
We must hurry, we mustn't be late
We seem to be going extremely slow
It is so hard to wait

Over the river and through the woods
Oh, how the wind does blow
Hurrah for the fun, is the pudding done
For this is Christmas day

Merry, Merry, Merry Christmas
Merry, Merry, Merry Christmas
Hark, all the bells are ringing
Hear the children singing

Merry, Merry, Merry Christmas
Merry, Merry, Merry Christmas
Merry, Merry Christmas and a Glad New Year

Merry, Merry, Merry Christmas
Merry, Merry, Merry Christmas
Merry, Merry, Merry, Merry, Merry, Merry Christmas
And a Glad New Year

I'm The Only Man On The Island


I'm The Only Man On The Island
Composer(s): Bob Merrill; Dave Mann
Performer(s): Tommy Steele



I'm the only man on the island
The only man on the island
To a hundred and fifty native girls
I'm the King of the Coral Sea

When my sailboat sank in the ocean
How quick they came to my rescue
They haven't had a man to hula for
Since nineteen-forty-three

Oh-oh-oh, it's nice, livin' in a tropical paradise
They cook me all kinds of food
And pour sweet wime in my cup
So if I'm dreamin', I don't wanna wake up

Well, hey number one girl, wave that fan
Hey number two girl, hold my hand
Hey number three girl, kiss me sweet
Hey number four girl, rub my feet

Hey number five girl, bake some pies
Hey number six girl, swat them flies
Hey number seven girl, sweep the shack
Hey number eight girl, scratch my back

I'm the only man on the island
The only man on the island
There's a hundred and fifty girls to love
Underneath the coconut tree

And the only man on the island is me

A Great And Mighty Wonder


A Great And Mighty Wonder
Composer(s): St. Germanus; John M. Neale



A great and mighty wonder
A full and holy cure
The Virgin bears the Infant
With virgin honor purel
Repeat the hymn again
"To God on high be glory
And peace on earth to men!"

The Word becomes incarnate
And yet remains on high
And cherubim sing anthems
To shepherds from the sky
Repeat the hymn again
"To God on high be glory
And peace on earth to men!"

While thus they sing your Monarch
Those bright angelic bands
Rejoice, ye vales and mountains
Ye oceans, clap your hands
Repeat the hymn again
"To God on high be glory
And peace on earth to men!"

Since all He comes to ransom
By all be He adored
The Infant born in Bethl'em
The Savior and the Lord
Repeat the hymn again
"To God on high be glory
And peace on earth to men"

And idol forms shall perish
And error shall decay
And Christ shall wield His scepter
Our Lord and God for aye
Repeat the hymn again
"To God on high be glory
And peace on earth to men!"
