Stinkfoot


Stinkfoot
Composer(s): Frank Zappa
Performer(s): Frank Zappa



In the dark
Where all the fevers grow
Under the water
Where the shark bubbles blow
In the mornin'
By yer radio
Do the walls close in t' suffocate ya
You ain't got no friends . . .
An' all the others: they hate ya
Does the life you been livin' gotta go, hmmm?
Well, lemme straighten you out
About a place I know . . .
(Get yer shoes 'n socks on people
It's right aroun' the corner!)
Out through the night
An' the whispering breezes
To the place where they keep
The Imaginary Diseases
Out through the night
An' the whispering breezes
To the place where they keep
The Imaginary Diseases, mmm . . .

This has to be the disease for you
Now scientists call this disease
Bromidrosis
But us regular folks
Who might wear tennis shoes
Or an occasional python boot
Know this exquisite little inconvenience
By the name of
Stinkfoot
Y'know, my python boot is too tight
I couldn't get it off last night
A week went by, an' now it's July
I finally got it off
An' my girl-friend cry
"You got Stinkfoot!
Stinkfoot, darlin'
Your Stinkfoot puts a hurt on my nose!
Stinkfoot! Stinkfoot! I ain't lyin'
Can you rinse it off, d'you suppose?"
Here Fido . . . Fido . . .
C'mere little puppy . . . bring the slippers
"Arf, arf, arf!" (crash-crumble-bump-bump-bump)
Heh heh heh . . . sick . . .

Well then Fido got up off the floor an' he rolled over
An' he looked me straight in the eye
An' you know what he said?
Once upon a time
Somebody say to me
(This is a dog talkin' now)
What is your Conceptual Continuity?
Well, I told him right then
(Fido said)
It should be easy to see
The crux of the biscuit
Is the Apostrophe(')
Well, you know
The man who was talkin' to the dog
Looked at the dog an' he said: (sort of staring in disbelief)
"You can't say that!"
He said
"It Doesn't, 'N You Can't!
I Won't, 'N It Don't!
It Hasn't, It Isn't, It Even Ain't
'N It Shouldn't . . .
It Couldn't!"
He told me No No No!
I told him Yes Yes Yes!
I said: "I do it all the time . . .
Ain't this boogie a mess!"

Honey Don't


Honey Don't
Composer(s): Carl Perkins
Performer(s): The Beatles



Well how come you say you will when you won't
say you do, baby, when you don't?
Let me know honey how you feel
tell the truth now, is love real?
But ah ah well honey don't, well honey don't
honey don't, honey don't, honey don't
I say you will when you won't, ah ah, honey, don't

Well I love you, baby, and you ought to know
I like the way you wear your clothes
everything about you is so doggone sweet
you got that sand all over your feet
But ah ah well honey don't, honey don't
honey don't, honey don't, honey don't
I say you will when you won't, ah ah, honey, don't

(Ah, rock on George, one time for me)
(I feel fine)

Well sometimes I love you on a Saturday night
Sunday morning you don't look right
You've been out painting the town
ah ah baby, been stepping around
But ah ah well honey don't, I said honey don't
honey don't, honey don't, honey don't
I say you will when you won't, ah ah, honey, don't

(Ah, rock on George, for Ringo one time)
well honey don't, well honey don't
I say you will when you won't, ah ah, honey, don't

Honey Come Back


Honey Come Back
Composer(s): Jimmy Webb
Performer(s): Glen Campbell;
and various other artists



(Honey, I know I've said it too many times before
I said I'd never say it again
I guess I shouldn't say anything at all since you're supposed to belong to him
But I just can't let you go without telling you just how much I love you)

So that is why I'm gonna say it one more time

Chorus:
Honey, come back I just can't stand
Each lonely day's a little bit longer
Than the last time I held you
Seems like a hundred years ago
Back to his arms and never know
The joy of love that used to taste like
Honey, come back where you belong to only me

(Well, I guess that's about all I gotta say
So I'm just gonna take my bags and I'm gonna walk
I know those bright lights are callin' ya, honey
Big fine cars and fancy clothes
But if you ever want somebody to just love ya, and some day you just may
just give me a call-you know where I am)

And here is what I'll say

Chorus
Honey, come back where you belong to only me
Honey, come back

where you belong to only me
Honey, come back where you belong to only me

Let Me Love You (Tamara, Vrcak & Adrijan)


Let Me Love You
Composer(s): Rade Vrcakovski
First performance by: Tamara, Vrcak & Adrijan - 2008



Let's go

Let's go, let's go, let's go
What ya gonna do if I let you know
You're the only one I've been dreaming for
I've never felt love like this before

Let's go, let's go, let's go
Where the moon is full and the lights are low
We can do it so slow, kiss in slo-mo
Until dawn breaks, then I ride out solo

You always knew how to make me cry
I feel so helpless without you
I'm starting to lose my mind
I wanna be with you tonight

The stars above glow like they're making love
I'm running under the moonlight
Alone in the sleepless night
Just to be right by your side

Let me love you, just let me love you
Unfold your angel wings
Fly out from my wildest dreams
Let me love you, just let me love you
Kiss me and let me die
Before you tell me goodbye

Let's go, let's go, let's go
What ya gonna do if I let you know
You're the only one I've been dreaming for
I've never felt love like this before

Let's go, let's go, let's go
Where the moon is full and the lights are low
We can do it so slow, kiss in slo-mo
Until dawn breaks, then I ride out solo

You always knew how to make me cry
Who needs a smile when my tears
Are so full of love inside
And they are stronger than my pride

Let me love you, just let me love you
Unfold your angel wings
Fly out for my wildest dreams
Let me love you, just let me love you
Kiss me and let me die
Before you tell me goodbye

Let me love you, just let me love you
Kiss me and let me die
Before you tell me goodbye

Honey Chile (Martha & The Vandellas)


Honey Chile
Composer(s): Richard Morris; Sylvia Moy
Performer(s): Martha & The Vandellas;
and various other artists



You're shiftless and you're lazy
Just like the hound dog, Daisy
I had when grandma raised me
Honey chile, poor Granny
Got too old to scorn me
Dear old auntie warned me
You sure was no good for me
Honey chile, but your kiss
Is sweeter than the cake
That grandma used to make
Oh them sweet little things about ya
Sure enough takes the cake
You ain't gonna amount to nothing
'Cause you ain't gonna work for nothing
Without you, I'm good for nothing
Honey chile, honey chile
Sure 'bout to drive me wild
And I love you so
Can't let go
Now honey chile oh sugar chile
I'd walk a country mile
Just to be with you
And to stay with you, now honey chile

I try to act like a lady
But you've been courtin' Sadie
Your reputation's shady
Honey chile, hey you even took out Sally
Who lives across the alley
Oh I've been keeping tally
Honey chile you're like the grapes
Upon the vine at winning pretty wine
'Cause like that home made wine so sweet
You sure enough drove me out of my mind now
You ain't nothing but a playboy
Using me for a play toy
You're ruining my pride and joy
Now honey chile, honey chile
Sure 'bout to drive me wild
And I love you so, can't let go
Now honey, ,oh sugar chile
I'd walk a country mile
Just to be with you
And to stay with you, now honey chile

One day I'm gonna get stronger
And I won't need you no longer
This feeling will be a goner
Honey chile, hey now I can't take disgracin'
That ain't the way granny raised me
You're gonna just hurt like crazy
Honey chile, sugar chile
I'd walk a country mile
Just to be with you
And to stay with you, honey chile
Hey honey chile sure 'bout to drive me wild

Stinker


Stinker
Composer(s): Elton John - Bernie Taupin
Performer(s): Elton John



Say what you will but I'm a stinker
I come crawling up out of my hole
Dirt in my toes, dirt up my nose
I'm a perfect curse to pest control

Seeds and weeds and muddy meals
Crawling around the earth
Down in the ground where the sun don't pound
I hibernate in English turf

Better believe it, I'm a stinker
Burning vermin stink
Watch me get as high as a heat wave honey
Tell me what you hound dogs think

Set in my styles with a beady eye
I got connections with the underground
Call me a common rodent boy
Sitting here safe and sound

Some mole hill mother sauntered by
Acting like the ace of spades
Don't give that cutey no reason to shoot me
When I'm living on the eggs she layed

Royal Crown Revue; Johnny Williams



Sometimes your love is just like honey
So sweet and wild-so sweet and wild
Sometimes your love is just like menthol
So cool and nice-so cool and nice
That's why I don't want no other lover
Nobody but you

Honey child, honey child

You got a funny little way
A way of teasing
Feels so right, yeah so right
You've got a way-such a way
Through the night, all through the night
That's why I don't want no other lovin'
Nobody but you

Honey child

You got a brand of lovin'
That sets my soul on fire
You got a brand of kissin'
That drives me wild
That's why I don't want no other lover

That's why I don't want no other lover
That's why I don't want no other lover
Say, that's why I don't want no other lover
Say, that's why I don't want no other lover, baby

Nomads In The Night


Nomads In The Night
Composer(s): Vytautas Diškevicius - Jeronimas Milius
First performance by: Jeronimas Milius - 2008



Through passing days, I close my eyes and feel silk burning me
Your skin, those gorgeous lips I've kissed so long ago
Tonight I'll try to rip out this aching heart, it's filled with you
It's filled with lonely pain – obey

Moon, I follow you in darkness
It seems we're nomads in the night
Your cold turns me into the heartless
Until the sunrise burning light brings down her sky blue shining eyes

This hollow day, like days before I walk through thousand smiles
And try to find the look that heals all wounds inside
But still I'm here at the world's edge falling like stone to you
Shining so high, alone – like me

Moon, I follow you in darkness
It seems we're nomads in the night
Your cold turns me into the heartless
Until the sunrise burning light

Seems we're nomads in the night
Your cold turns me into the heartless
Until the sunrise burning light brings down her sky blue shining eyes

Honey Boy
Composer(s): Brian Holland; Lamont Dozier; Eddie Holland
Performer(s): Mary Wells; The Supremes



Chorus (x2):
He's my Honey Boy, my ever-lovin' Honey Boy
Mmm hmm hmm mmm, mmm hmm hmm mmm

Sweet kisses are his claim to fame
In my heart he'll always remain
True fine lovin' is his game
Honey Boy is his name
He's sugar, he's spice, he's everything that's nice

(chorus)

I'd never have another love this time
Than all the gold in the Fort Knox mine
My whole life he'll inspire
Loving him is my desire
Always near when I need him most
That's why I just love to boast

(chorus)

If you see me in my prettiest dress
Then for him I look my best
Nobody can take his love from me
Because he has lasting loyalty
He's sugar, he's spice, he's everything that's nice

(chorus)

(over backup singing of chorus):
He's sugar, he's spice, he's everything that's nice
Mmm hmm, mmm hmm, Honey Boy, Honey Boy
Sugar & spice, mmm hmm, mmm, hmm

Stilla och tyst som nu
vid blånande hav
stilla och tyst som nu
din kärlek du gav mej
Kärlekens röda ros
svindlande skön

Solen stack ner sin brand
havet drack ur dess blod
guldröda fiskar sam
djupt in i nattens flod
Stilla och tyst som nu
vid blånande hav
stilla och tyst som nu
din kärlek du gav

Honey


Honey Composer(s): Bobby Russell First release by: Bob Shane - 1968 Covered by multiple other artists Titles In Other Languages: 1968 - Tous Les Arbres Sont En Fleurs 1968 - Amore Mi Manchi 1968 - Kære 2003 - Mijn Liefste Ik Mis Je



See the tree, how big it´s grown, but friend, then it hasn´t been too long, it wasn´t big I laughed at her and she got mad, the first day that she planted it was just a twig Then the first snow came and she ran out to brush the snow away, so it wouldn´t die Came runnin´ in all excited, slipped and almost hurt herself, I laughed 'till I cried She was always young at heart, kinda dumb and kinda smart and I loved her so I surprised her with a puppy, kept me up all Christmas Eve, two years ago And it would sure embarrass her when I came home from working late ´cause I would know That she´d been sittin´ there and cryin´ over some sad and silly late, late show And honey, I miss you and I´m bein´ good And I´d love to be with you, if only I could She wrecked the car and she was sad, and so afraid that I´d be mad, but what the heck Though I pretended hard to be, guess you could say she saw through me and hugged my neck I came home unexpectedly and found her crying needlessly in the middle of a day And it was in the early Spring, when flowers bloom and Robins sing, she went away And honey, I miss you and I´m bein´ good And I´d love to be with you, if only I could Yes, one day, while I wasn't home, while she was there and all alone, the angels came Now all I have is memories of Honey, and I wake up nights and call her name Now my life´s an empty stage, where Honey lived, and Honey played, and love grew up A small cloud passes overhead and cries down in the flower bed that Honey loved And see the tree, how big it´s grown But friend, it hasn´t been too long, it wasn´t big I laughed at her and she got mad, the first day that she planted it was just a twig ...

Honesty


Honesty
Composer(s): Billy Joel
Performer(s): Billy Joel



If you search for tenderness
it isn't hard to find
You can have the love you need to live
But if you look for truthfulness
You might just as well be blind
It always seems to be so hard to give

Honesty is such a lonely word
Everyone is so untrue
Honesty is hardly ever heard
And mostly what I need from you

I can always find someone
to say they sympathize
If I wear my heart out on my sleeve
But I don't want some pretty face
to tell me party lies
All I want is someone to believe

Honesty is such a lonely word
Everyone is so untrue
Honesty is hardly ever heard
And mostly what I need from you

I can find a lover
I can find a friend
I can have security until the bitter end
Anyone can comfort me
with promises again
I know, I know

When I'm deep inside of me
don't be too concerned
I won't as for nothin' while I'm gone
But when I want sincerity
tell me where else can I turn
Because you're the one I depend upon

Honesty is such a lonely word
Everyone is so untrue
Honesty is hardly ever heard
And mostly what I need from you

Have Some Fun


Have Some Fun
Composer(s): Stano Šimor - Gordon Pogoda
First performance by: Tereza Kerndlová - 2008



(We're gathered here today)

Sometimes we open a door to hope
Then baby we're hopin' the door won't close
We look all around, our future is standing there
Can't you see you're my future?

We really get along
Just like the sun goes with the sunshine
Like a grape goes with a grapevine
But you think in a blink that I'll be bad to you

If you wanna have some fun, don't run
Don't walk away when I'm your summer sun
If you wanna know real love and have some fun
Hmm... then baby don't run

I know your history makes you shy
Oh baby, it's no mystery why you fly
I'm not like the girls, the girls who just come and go
And with me you won't go solo

We really get along
Just like the stars go with the starshine
Like a ring goes with a bell chime
But you say I won't stay, you think I'll pull away

If you wanna have some fun, don't run
Don't turn away from me when I am the one
I'm the one who shakes your clouds away
Whenever rainy days make you insane

If you wanna have some fun, don't run
Don't walk away when I'm your summer sun
If you wanna know real love and have some fun
Hmm... then baby don't run

I'll even walk you to the moon
Walk down the beach all afternoon
I just wanna be your friend for fun, fun, fun

If you wanna have some fun, don't run
Don't walk away when I'm your summer sun
I'm the one who shakes your clouds away
Whenever rainy days make you insane

If you wanna have some fun, don't run
Don't walk away when I'm your summer sun
If you wanna know real love and have some fun
Hmm....then baby don't run

Honest Lullaby


Honest Lullaby
Composer(s): Joan Baez
Performer(s): Joan Baez



Early early in the game
I taught myself to sing and play
And use a little trickery
On kids who never favored me
Those were years of crinoline slips
And cotton skirts and swinging hips
And dangerously painted lips
And stars of stage and screen
Pedal pushers, ankle socks
Padded bras and campus jocks
Who hid their vernal equinox
In pairs of faded jeans
And slept at home resentfully
Coveting their dreams

And often have I wondered
How the years and I survived
I had a mother who sang to me
An honest lullaby

Yellow, brown, and black and white
Our Father bless us all tonight
I bowed my head at the football games
And closed the prayer in Jesus' name
Lusting after football heroes
tough Pachuco, little Neroes
Forfeiting my A's for zeroes
Futures unforeseen
Spending all my energy
In keeping my virginity
And living in a fantasy
In love with Jimmy Dean
If you will be my king, Jimmy, Jimmy
I will be your queen

And often have I wondered
How the years and I survived
I had a mother who sang to me
An honest lullaby

I travelled all around the world
And knew more than the other girls
Of foreign languages and schools
Paris, Rome and Istanbul
But those things never worked for me
The town was much too small you see
And people have a way of being
Even smaller yet
But all the same though life is hard
And no one promised me a garden
Of roses, so I did okay
I took what I could get
And did the things that I might do
For those less fortunate

And often have I wondered
How the years and I survived
I had a mother who sang to me
An honest lullaby

Now look at you, you must be growing
A quarter of an inch a day
You've already lived near half the years
You'll be when you go away
With your teddy bears and alligators
Enterprise communicators
All the tiny aviators head into the sky
And while the others play with you
I hope to find a way with you
And sometimes spend a day with you
I'll catch you as you fly
Or if I'm worth a mother's salt
I'll wave as you go by

And if you should ever wonder
How the years and you'll survive
Honey, you've got a mother who sings to you
Dances on the strings for you
Opens her heart and brings to you
An honest lullaby
