New Highway
New Highway
Composer(s): Homer Jackson
Performer(s): Larry Sparks
I read a book about a man
Who never went to school
He could tell you more things about life
Than any man I ever knew
He didn't study to be a carpenter
But things he could build
Would stand the storms life could bring
No matter how small or big
And he built a new highway to Heaven
And few there'll be that travel thereon
He put me on a new highway to Heaven
There's no detour sign, you don't have to travel alone
He didn't study to be a scientist
Or have a doctor's degree
He knew more than any surgeon
Of this world could ever teach
He can remove a stony heart
Put a new one in its place
Jesus does this from inside out
Leaves no scars, no other trace
And he built a new highway to Heaven
And few there'll be that travel thereon
He put me on a new highway to Heaven
There's no detour sign, you don't have to travel alone
He put me on a new highway to Heaven
And few there'll be that travel thereon
He put me on a new highway to Heaven
There's no detour sign, you don't have to travel alone
He put me on a new highway to Heaven

Into My Arms
Into My Arms
Composer(s): Nick Cave
First release by: Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - 1997
I don't believe in an interventionist God
But I know, darling, that you do
But if I did I would kneel down and ask Him
Not to intervene when it came to you
Not to touch a hair on your head
To leave you as you are
And if He felt He had to direct you
Then direct you into my arms
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms
And I don't believe in the existence of angels
But looking at you I wonder if that's true
But if I did I would summon them together
And ask them to watch over you
To each burn a candle for you
To make bright and clear your path
And to walk, like Christ, in grace and love
And guide you into my arms
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms
And I believe in Love
And I know that you do too
And I believe in some kind of path
That we can walk down, me and you
So keep your candlew burning
And make her journey bright and pure
That she will keep returning
Always and evermore
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms

New Harmony
New Harmony
Composer(s): Craig Johnson
Performer(s): Jim Ringer
Evening hillside, summertime
Jars we filled with fireflies
I remember you and I
Say, it's been a long long time
And I've been sitting by the Ohio
Watching the tow boats rollin' up slow
Thinkin' of the places we used to go
You've been on my mind
Rain across the bottom land
broken stones from an old mill dam
West wind blowin' in the dawnin' day
Enough to blow the blues my way
And I've been sitting by the Ohio
Watching the tow boats rollin' up slow
Thinkin' of the places we used to go
You've been on my mind
Rusty rails, an old river town
Whistle blowin' New Orleans bound
Cornfields waitin' for the plow
All the things I can't tell you now
And I've been sitting by the Ohio
Watching the tow boats rollin' up slow
Thinkin' of the places we used to go
You've been on my mind
Indiana country roads,
Winter's sky so deep and cold
New moon's arms, cradle the old
Come home songs on the radio
And I've been sitting by the Ohio
Watching the tow boats rollin' up slow
Thinkin' of the places we used to go
You've been on my mind

Into Money
Into Money
Composer(s): Robin Trower
Performer(s): Robin Trower
You've got your house, you've got your car
You live up on the hill among the stars
You say you did what you had to do
But was it really worth what they put you through
You know these things we believed in
It didn't touch you at all
I hate to see you like this baby
With your back to the wall
You lost your heart, when you lost your nerve
Maybe you lost your grip on that first curve
You used to talk about bein' free
Why, you're so tied up you can't even breathe
You know these things we believed in
They didn't touch you at all
I hate to see you like this baby
With your back to the wall
Money into money
Money into money
Money into money
Money into money
You're into money, into money
You're into money, money
Into money yeah, yeah
Into money
Into money, into money, into money yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

New Europeans
New Europeans
Composer(s): Warren Cann; Chris Cross;
Billy Currie; Ultravox; Midge Ure
Performer(s): Midge Ure; Ultravox
In a quiet street washed by the rain
a room within the home
A lonely man sits cheek to cheek with unique designs in chrome
The mellow years have long gone by, but now he sits alone
He has a brand new radio, but never turns it on
New Europeans
Young Europeans
New Europeans
A photograph of lovers lost lies pressed in magazines
Her eyes belong to a thousand girls, she's the wife who's never seen
Their educated son has left in search of borrowed dreams
His television's in his bed, he's frozen to the screen
New Europeans
Young Europeans
New Europeans
On a crowded beach washed by the sun, he puts his headphones on
His modern world revolves around the synthesizer's song
Full of future thoughts and thrills, his senses slip away
He's a European legacy, a culture for today
New Europeans
Young Europeans

Into Each Life Some Rain Must Fall
Into Each Life Some Rain Must Fall
Composer(s): Doris Fisher; Allan Roberts
Performer(s): Ella Fitzgerald & The Ink Spots
and multiple other artists
Into each life some rain must fall
But too much is falling in mine
Into each heart some tears must fall
But some day the sun will shine
Some folks can lose the blues in their hearts
But when I think of you another shower starts
Into each life some rain must fall
But too much is falling in mine
Into each and every life some rain has got to fall
But too much of that stuff is fallin' into mine
And into each heart some tears gotta fall
And I know that someday that sun is bound to shine
Some folks can lose the blues in their heart
But when I think of you another shower starts
Into each life some rain must fall
But too much is fallin' in mine

New Cut Road
New Cut Road
Composer(s): Guy Clark
Performer(s): Guy Clark;
Bobby Bare; Johnny Cash;
The Coal Porters; Emmylou Harris
Coleman Bonner was a fiddle playin' fool
He's a backwoods rounder and a breaker of mules
Coleman Bonner's got a wore out bow
He's been playin' all day down the new cut road
Coleman's little sister said you better act right
Daddy's gone to Louisville he'll be back tonight
He's gonna get another wagon and a good pair of mules
And we gonna move to Texas we just waitin' on you
Coleman's daddy pulled up in the yard
He said pack up your lives kids it's gettin' too hard
Kentucky's alright but there's too many people
Just the other day I thought I saw a church steeple
Coleman said daddy don't you worry bout me
I'm gonna stay here in Kentucky till the day I d
I'm gonna drink that sourmash and gonna race that mare
And find that woman with the fox red hair
Now you all been movin' west since the day you got married
Well I'm gettin' off the wagon daddy I'm too old to be carried
Gonna stay here in Kentucky where the bluegrass grow
I'm gonna play it all night down the new cut road
Coleman's daddy said now what's it all comn' to
Young people these days are just as stubborn as mules
You can't make him go he's too old for that
It's that damned old fiddle and that bowler hat
Coleman's mama said let the boy stay
He's raised up solid and he can find his own way
But as for me honey I'm with you
I always thought Kentucky was just passin' through
Coleman's little sister then she started into a cryin'
And his daddy shook his head for the very last time
Coleman's mama said somebody's gotta do it
Wouldn't be no Kentucky less you didn't stick to it
Coleman Booner stood on the porch of that cabin
Watched 'em all go to Texas in a covered wagon
He pulled out his fiddle and he rosined up his bow
And he played a little tune called the new cut road

International Heroes
International Heroes
Composer(s): Kim Fowley; Kerry Scott
First release by: Kim Fowley - 1973
Bobby and Sue still go to school
Falling asleep and it ain’t too cool
Time and day stuck in the rain
At every concert the bus leaves early
We’re just wasting time
Wondering what we’ll find when it’s all over
I think I’ll cut my hair off
And start a new game
Why bother being different
We’re all the same
Hey friend, it’s gotta end
I don’t care what you wear
It’s what you are that makes you a star
International heroes
You got the teenage blues
Change has gotta come soon
Or else we’re gonna lose
Noise I hear year after year
Ain’t done nothing more than become unclear
Hey everybody what have we got
Old clothes and records starting to rot
Don’t throw them away
Open yourselves to the sounds of the future
International heroes
You got the teenage blues
Change has gotta come soon
Or else we’re gonna lose (lose lose)
International heroes
You got the teenage blues
Change has gotta come soon
Or else we’re gonna lose
International heroes
You got the teenage blues
Change has gotta come soon
Or else we’re gonna lose

New Blowtop Blues
New Blowtop Blues
Composer(s): Jane Feather; Leonard Feather
Performer(s): Dinah Washington;
Deborah Cox; Lavay Smith & Her Red Hot Skillet Lickers
I've got bad news baby, and you're the first to know
Yes I've got bad news baby, and you're the first to know
Well I discovered this morning that my wig is about to blow
Well I've been rocking on my feet and I've been talking all out of my head
Yes I've been rocking on my feet and I've been talking all out of my head
And when I get through talking, I can't remember a thing I've said
Now I used to be a sharpie
All dressed in the latest styles
But now I'm walking down Broadway
Wearing nothing but a smile
I see all kinds of little men
Although they're never there
I tried to push a subway train
And poured whiskey in my hair
I'm a gal who blew a fuse, I've got those blowtop blues
Last night I was five feet tall
Today I'm eight feet ten
Every time I fall downstairs, I float right up again
When someone turned the lights on me it like to drove me blind
I woke up this morning in Bellevue but I've left my mind behind
I'm a gal you can't excuse, 'cause I've got those blowtop blues
Well I got high last night, and I took my man to his wife's front door
Yes I got juiced last night and I took my man to his wife's front door
Oh but she was a 45-packin' mama, and I ain't goin' to try that no more!

Composer(s): John Gilutin; Bunny Hull; Sharon Robinson
Performer(s): Patti LaBelle;
and various others
Running hot
Running cold
I was running into overload
That was extreme
I took it so high, so low, so long
There was no where to go like a bad dream
Somehow that wire's uncrossed
The tables were turned
Never knew I had such a lesson to learn
I'm feeling good from my hat to my shoe
know where I am going and I know what to do
I've tidied up my point of view
I've got a new attitude
I'm in control
My worries are few
'Cause I got love like I never knew
ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo...
I've got a new attitude
I am wearing a new dress, a new hat
Brand ideas
As a matter of fact
I've changed for good
Must have been the cold nights, new moon
Night changes
Or forget your love for just being like I should

Interlude (Time)
Interlude (Time)
Composer(s): Georges Delerue; Hal Shaper
First performance by: Timi Yuro - 1968
Time is like a dream
And now for a time you are mine
Let's hold fast to the dream
That tastes and sparkles like wine
Who knows if it's real
Or just something we're both dreaming of
What seems like an interlude now
Could be the beginning of love
Loving you is a world that's strange
So much more than my heart can hold
Loving you makes the whole world change
Loving you I could not grow old
No, nobody knows when love will end
So till then, sweet friend
Time is like a dream
And now for a time you are mine
Let's hold fast to the dream
That tastes and sparkles like wine

New And Different Way
New And Different Way
Composer(s): Jim Messina
Performer(s): Jim Messina
I think that I can finally see
A change in my reality
In a new and different way
The way that I can tell that I'm right
Is everything looks fresh and bright
In a new and different way
Well I feel that from this special place
You see another kind of face
On those that didn't show
Then suddenly you find
You're not coming from your mind anymore
That's when you let your heart come through
The feeling that you find is you
In a new and different way
The place that you will learn to know
Is a place that in your life you'll show
In a new and different way
Well I found that music is my play
And I'm living my life from day to day
With those I really love
And in return for what I give
The love I get will surely live forever
Ever and ever
Then suddenly you find
You're not coming from your mind anymore
That's when you let your heart
Come through
The feeling that you find is you
In a new and different way
The place that you will learn to know
Is a place that in your life you'll show
In a new and different way
Well I found that music is my play
And I'm living my life from day to day
With those I really love
And in return for what I give
The love I get will surely live forever
Ever and ever

Interjections!
Interjections!
Composer(s): Lynn Ahrens
Performer(s): Essra Mohawk
When Reginald was home with flu, uh huh
The doctor knew just what to do
He cured the infection
With one small injection
While Reginald uttered some interjections
Hey! That smarts!
Ouch! That hurts!
Yow! That's not fair
Giving a guy a shot down there!
Interjections!
Show excitement or emotion
They're generally set apart from a sentence
By an exclamation point
or by a comma when the feeling's not as strong
Though Geraldine played hard to get, uh huh
Geraldo knew he'd woo her yet
He showed his affection
Despite her objections
And Geraldine hollered some interjections
Well! You've got some nerve!
Oh! I've never been so insulted in all my life!
Hey! You're kinda cute!
(Chorus)
So when you're happy
Or sad
Or frightened
Or mad
Or excited
Or glad
An interjection starts a sentence right!
The game was tied at seven all, uh huh
When Franklin found he had the ball
He made a connection
In the other direction
And the crowd starting shouting out interjections
Aw! You threw the wrong way!
Darn! You just lost the game!
Hurray! I'm for the other team!
(Chorus)
So when you're happy
Or sad
or frightened
or mad
or excited
or glad
An interjection starts a sentence right!
(Chorus)
Interjections!
Show excitement
or emotion!
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah yeah!
Darn, that's the end

Can I have your autograph
He said to the fat blonde actress
You know I’ve seen every movie you’ve been in
From paths of pain to jewels of glory
And when you kissed robert mitchum
Gee but I thought you’d never catch him
Over the hill right now
And you’re looking for love
You’re over the hill right now
And you’re looking for love
I’ll come running to you honey when you want me
I’ll come running to yoy honey when you want me
Can I have your autograph
He said to the fat blonde actress
You know I know everything you’ve done
Anyway I hate divorces
To the left is a marble shower
It was fun even for an hour
Your’re over the hill right now
And you’re looking for love
You’re over the hill right now
And you’re looking for love
I’ll come running to you honey when you want me
I’ll come running to you honey when you want me
Something’s got a hold on me
And I don’t know what
Something’s got a hold on me
And I don’t know what

It’s the beginning of a new age
It’s a new age

Another Version:
Waiting for the phone to ring
Diamond necklace on my shoulder
Waiting for the phone to ring
Lipstick on my naked shoulder
It seems to be my fancy to make it with
Franky and sue ann
Over the bridge we go
Looking for love
Over the bridge we go
Looking for love
I’ll come running to you, hey baby if you want me
I’ll come running to you, baby if you want me
Looking at my hands today
Look to me that they’re made of ivory
I had a funny call today
Someone died and someone married
You know that it’s my fancy to make it with
Franky and sue ann
Over the bridge they go
Looking for love
Over the bridge we go
Looking for love
I’ll come running to you, hey baby if you want me
I’ll come running to you, baby if you want me
Something’s got a hold on me
And I don’t know what
Something’s got a hold on me
And I don’t know what
It’s the beginning of a new age
It’s the beginning of a new age
It’s a new age

Nevertheless (I'm In Love With You)
Composer(s): Harry Ruby; Bert Kalmar
Performer(s): Frank Sinatra;
and various other artists
I knew the time had to come
When I'd be held under your thumb
I'm like a pawn in your hand
Moved and compelled, at your command
Whether it's for bad or for good
I would never change it if I could
Maybe I'm right, maybe I'm wrong
Maybe I'm weak, maybe I'm strong
But nevertheless I'm in love with you
Maybe I'll win, maybe I'll lose
And maybe I'm in for crying the blues
But nevertheless I'm in love with you
Somehow, I know at a glance, the terrible chances I'm taking
Fine at the start, then left with a heart that is breaking
Maybe I'll live a life of regret, and maybe I'll give much more than I get
But nevertheless, I'm in love with you
In spite of all I could do
I went ahead falling for you
So if I laugh or I cry
I made my bed, that's where I'll lie
For what happens there's no excuse
I put my own head in the noose

Interdit Au Moins De Treize Ans
Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday
Quand tu marches dans la rue les garçons se retournent
Malgré leur jeune âge ils ont déjà envie de toi
Tu sais qu'on devrait t'interdire
Comme un film au moins de treize ans
Tes cheveux qui dansent, tes jambes et tes belles dents
Tes seins et tes hanchent font rêver tous les garçons
Tu sais qu'on devrait t'interdire
Comme un film au moins de treize ans
Mais les garçons n'ont pas le droit
De voir ce que moi
Je vais faire ce soir avec toi
Et quand j'étais petit garçon
Je rêvais comme eux
D'une fille comme toi dans mes bras
Quand tu marches dans la rue les hommes se retournent
À n'importe quel âge ils ont toujours envie de toi
Tu sais qu'on devrait t'interdire
Comme un film au moins de treize ans
Mais les hommes savent très bien
Ce que toi et moi
Nous ferons ce soir dans nos draps
Ils ne sont plus petit garçon
Et ils rêvent tous
D'une fille comme toi dans leurs bras
Tes deux seins sous ton maillot comme de jolies formes
Tes deux longues cuisses empêchent de dormir les hommes
Ouais, quand tu marches dans la rue les hommes se retournent
Malgré ton jeune âge ils ont déjà envie de toi
Ouais, malgré ton jeune âge ils ont déjà envie de toi
