A Memory Away
A Memory Away
Composer(s): Warren Robb - David Kirby
Performer(s): Gene Watson
I woke up this morning
Thinking 'bout those times
You and love and I were more
Only on my mind
I let myself go drifting
Way back in my dreams
Let my memory bring you back to me
Your love is just a memory away
I can count on yesterday
I can have you, antyime I want to
You're always just a memory away
Love can change a beggar
Make a poor man king
Love can build a castle
Out of almost anything
Minds can still work miracles
That even I can see
When my memory brings you back to me
Your love is just a memory away
I can count on yesterday
I can have you, anytime I want to
You're always just a memory away
You're always just a memory away

How Could I Love Her So Much?
How Could I Love Her So Much?
Composer(s): Hugh Moffatt
Performer(s): Johnny Rodriguez; Hugh Moffatt
I went over to him, said you may not know me
But I sure do know who you are
Don't worry my anger was spent long ago
And only the memory remains
But Lord, how I suffered, sometimes I still wonder
And maybe now you can explain
Tell me how could I love her so much
And then lose her so quickly to someone like you
How did you know how to hold her and please her
How did you know what to do
After all of the time I spent learning to love her
And be what she needed me to
Tell me how could I love her so much
And then lose her so quickly to someone like you
He said, Friend let me buy you a drink
And I'll tell you a story that's sad, but it's true
How I loved her and held her till some licker stole her
From me, like I stole her from you
I guess no one can own her, her heart's like a soldier
Of fortune, her love's like the wind
Till all I can think of is finding a new love
And asking this question again
How could I love her so much
And then lose her so quickly to someone like you
How did you know how to hold her and please her
How did you know what to do
After all of the time I spent learning to love her
And be what she needed me to
Tell me how could I love her so much
And then lose her so quickly to someone like you
How could I love her so much
And then lose her so quickly to someone like you

A Means To An End
A Means To An End
Composer(s): Ian Curtis - Peter Hook - Stephen Morris - Bernard Sumner
First recording/First release by: Joy Division - 1979/1980
Covered by multiple other artists
A legacy so far removed
One day will be improved
Eternal rights we left behind
We were the better kind
Two the same, set free too
I always looked to you
I always looked to you
I always looked to you
We fought for good, stood side by side
Our friendship never died
On stranger waves, the lows and highs
Our vision touched the sky
Immortalists with points to prove
I put my trust in you
I put my trust in you
I put my trust in you
A house somewhere on foreign soil
Where ageless lovers call
Is this your goal, your final needs
Where dogs and vultures eat
Committed still I turn to go
I put my trust in you
I put my trust in you
I put my trust in you
I put my trust in you
In you, in you, in you
Put my trust in you, in you

How Come? (Youssou N'Dour)
How Come?
Composer(s): Charles Alexander; Wyclef Jean; Youssou N'Dour
Performer(s): Youssou N'Dour
Yo
As the universe expands
I contemplate whether it was God
or the Big Bang that made man
Sometimes I wonder how come
We can't live without guns
What would have been the outcome if the South won
Think about that son
What in the hell caused the assassination of Malcolm
The federal communications commission
listens to politicians in the position to
Make certain decisions like puttin' minorities in prison
To decimating the population of women
It's called socialism
From the United States to the United Kingdom
Aahhkk, spit into the sky and extinguish the sun
but how come
In the future
The location is planet Earth
The time and date is 1999, December 31st 11:59 p.m.
the anticipation of what I think's about to happen, got my heart 'beatin
We got less than a minute left before the planet Jupiter is united into a star
I know it sounds bizarre but it's mathematics
A specific sign for some of the planet's inhabitants
Those who understand know what I'm sayin' is accurate
Our country is corrupt from the president to the cabinet
In the year 2, followed by three 0's
The space probe Galileo will welcome us all to channel zero
but how come

A Matter Of Trust
A Matter Of Trust
Composer(s): Billy Joel
Performer(s): Billy Joel
Some love is just a lie of the heart
The cold remains of what began with a passionate start
And they may not want it to end
But it will, it's just a question of when
I've lived long enough to have learned
The closer you get to the fire the more you get burned
But that won't happen to us
Because it's always been a matter of trust
I know you're an emotional girl
It took a lot for you to not lose your faith in this world
I can't offer you proof
But you're gonna face a moment of truth
It's hard when you're always afraid
You just recover when another belief is betrayed
So break my heart if you must
It's a matter of trust
You can't go the distance
With too much resistance
I know you have doubts
But for God's sake don't shut me out
This time you've got nothing to lose
You can take it, you can leave it
Whatever you choose
I won't hold back anything
And I'll walk away a fool or a king
Some love is just a lie of the mind
It's make believe until it's only a matter of time
And some might have learned to adjust
But then it never was a matter of trust
I'm sure you're aware love
We've both had our share of
Believing too long
When the whole situation was wrong
Some love is just a lie of the soul
A constant battle for the ultimate state of control
After you've heard lie upon lie
There can hardly be a question of why
Some love is just a lie of the heart
The cold remains of what began with a passionate start
But that can't happen to us
Because it's always been a matter of trust

How Come? (The Small Faces)
How Come?
Composer(s): Ronnie Lane; Kevin Westlake
Performer(s): The Small Faces; The Pogues
How come when I cut the ace of hearts
You always draw the ace of spades?
How's it when your best friend
Brings you lillies on your birthday?
How come, how come
I ain't superstitious, but these things I seen
How come, how come
I ain't a superstitious fella, but it worries me
How come when the local clergy calls
He tells me that you shouldn't wear black?
What kind of bread are you gonna bake
With that hemlock in your spice rack?
How come, how come
I ain't superstitious, but these things I seen
How come, how come
I ain't a superstitious fella, but it worries me
The spider's run, the cobweb's gone
Did you eat it when the moon was new?
I drowned your cat, what do you say about that?
I've even broken up your broom
How come, how come
I ain't superstitious, but these things I seen
How come, how come
I ain't a superstitious fella, but it worries me

A Matter Of Time
A Matter Of Time
Performer(s): Barclay James Harvest
It's a matter of time before we know
If you follow the signs, let your feelings show
Oh babe, you've got nothing to lose
We can talk for a while and that's all right
I can see in your eyes what you feel inside
You don't know what you've been doing
Leave me standing here
We are on the edge of reality
We've gone too far
Not the way that it's meant to be
It's a matter of time
It's just a matter of time
It's a matter of time before we say
We got out of line looking for the way
Oh babe, you've got something to hide
You can stay for a while and that's all right
I see in your smile what you feel tonight
You don't know what you've been doing
Leave us standing here
We are on the edge of reality
We've gone too far
Not the way that it's meant to be
It's a matter of time
It's just a matter of time
Are you really looking for someone
Who'll turn you on
And always be around you?
Take another look and you will see
That I will be waiting
It's a matter of time
It's a matter of time
Oh babe, it's just a matter of time

How Come?
Composer(s): Robert B. Sherman; Richard M. Sherman
Performer(s): Johnny Whitaker
How come
I hear the sun
Laughin'
Up in the skies?
How come
I see the grass
Growin'
Before my eyes?
Crazy
What's happenin'?
Feel like
I'm ten feet high
Nothin'
Is impossible
If I try
I could fly
Wonderin'
What's just begun
Tinglin'
Yet sorta numb
How come?
How come?
How come?

A Matter Of Feeling
A Matter Of Feeling
Composer(s): Simon LeBon - Nick Rhodes - Andy Taylor
Performer(s): Duran Duran
How does it feel, when everyone surrounds you?
How do you deal, do crowds make you feel lonely?
What do you say?
When people come and try to pin you down?
Aquaintainces smile, but that's no understanding
How after a while, you keep falling off the same mountain
Try to explain it, but nothing really gets that high
Steal away in the morning, love's already history to you
Just a habit you're forming, this body's desperate for something new
Just a matter of feeling
This moment's madness sure to pass
And tears will dry as you're leaving
Who knows you might find something to last..
Emotion's a game , saved up for a rainy monday
But you laugh just the same, 'cause it's been pouring on sunday
Call up your numbers and never let the zeros let you down
How does it feel?
Is time to heavy to hold, whatever you decide for the moment is holy
Whenever you slow down to see life is passing by
Steal away in the morning, love's already history to you
Just a habit you're forming, this body's desperate for something new
Just a matter of feeling
This moment's madness sure to pass
And tears will dry as you're leaving
Who knows you might find something to last..
(you can..)
Steal away in the morning, love's already history to you
Just a habit you're forming, this body's desperate for something new
Just a matter of feeling
This moment's madness sure to pass
And tears will dry as you're leaving
Who knows you might find something to last..
A matter of feeling..
A matter of feeling..
A matter of feeling..
A matter of feeling..

How Come, How Long
How Come, How Long
Composer(s): Babyface; Stevie Wonder
Performer(s): Babyface; Stevie Wonder
There was a girl I used to know
She was oh so beautiful
But she's not here anymore
She had a college degree
Smart as anyone could be
She had so much to live for
But she fell in love
With the wrong kinda man
He abused her love and treated her so bad
There was not enough education in her world
That could save the life of this little girl
How come, how long
It's not right, it's so wrong
Do we let it just go on
Turn our backs and carry on
Wake up, for it's too late
Right now, we can't wait
She won't have a second try
Open up your hearts
As well as your eyes
She tried to give a cry for help
She even blamed things on herself
But no one came to her aid
Nothing was wrong as far as we could tell
That's what we'd like to tell ourselves
But no, it wasn't that way
So she fell in love
With the wrong kinda man
And she paid with her life
For loving that man
So we cannot ignore
We must look for the signs
And maybe next time
We might save somebody's life
Hook
I on occasion met that guy
He stirred up bad feelings deep inside
Something about him wasn't right
The way he proves himself a man
By beatin' his woman with his hands
Oh I wish she'd seen the light
How can someone like that
Call himself a man
In reality he's far more less than that
And we cannot ignore
Whenever we see the signs
'Cause any kinda of abuse
God knows isn't right
Hook

A Marshmallow World
Composer(s): Peter de Rose - Carl Sigman
Performer(s): Brenda Lee
and multiple other artists
Ahhhh, it's a marshmallow world in the winter
When the snow comes to cover the ground
It's the time for play, it's a whipped cream day
I wait for it the whole year round!
Those are marshmallow clouds being friendly
In the arms of the evergreen trees
And the sun is red like a pumpkin head
It's shining so your nose won't freeze!
The world is your snowball, see how it grows
That's how it goes, whenever it snows
The world is your snowball just for a song
Get out and roll it along!
It's a yum-yummy world made for sweethearts
Take a walk with your favorite girl
It's a sugar date, so what if spring is late
In winter it's a marshmallow world!
It's a marshmallow day in the winter
When the snow comes to cover the ground
It's the time for play, it's a whipped cream day
And we wait for it the whole year round!
Just you remember that
Those are marshmallow clouds being friendly
In the arms of the evergreen trees
And the sun is red like a pumpkin head
It's shining so your nose won't freeze!
You must remember that
The world is your snowball, see how it grows
That's how it goes whenever it snows
The world is your snowball just for a song
Get out and roll it along!
It's a yum-yummy world made for sweethearts
Take a walk with your favorite girl
It's a sugary date, so what if spring is late
In winter it's a marshmallow world...
In winter it's a marshmallow world...
In winter it's a marshmallow world...

I wonder where's my baby tonight
She ain't never around when I want her
Hey Southside, have you seen my baby?

Are you sure you haven't seen my baby?
Oh no.
Here, here she goes now
Well step out the way
I got to do some talking
Listen here baby to what I say
I break my back working hard all day
And just when I need a little simpaty
you ain't home
I know now baby that I don't ask much
Just a little respect and a loving touch
If I support two people the why am I living alone
Then I wonder
How come you treat me so bad
Your the most loving woman I ever had
How come you treat me so bad
girl I got to know
I got to find out what's going on
All the women stop and they give me the eye
But the woman I love don't even wonder why
I ain't good looking, but I know spending my money
Another man might get her off town
But if your the one that's like messing around
Well I ain't laughing
But something sure seems funny
Don't it
Hey Southside, there's something familiar about that shirt
Well eh..
I like to talk to you but I got to play a little something here
I ask for coocking and you give me food
I ask for ..... and you give me .....
I am asking for time and you tell me I am already to late
what you mean?
Someday girl you might change you mind
You realize what you left behind
I got news for you baby
I just might not wait, no more
How come you treat me so bad
Your the most loving woman I ever had
How come you treat me so bad
I am tired of being lonly and I feel so sad
How come you treat me so bad
Your the most loving woman I ever had
How come you treat me so bad
girl I got to know
That woman makes me so tired
How long can this go on
She's just like her mother
Yeah I know what you mean
What you mean, you know what I mean?
Well don't get excited
I am talking about my baby
Who your talking about?
I was just...
Hey where did you get that shirt?
This is my shirt
Did my baby give you my shirt?
Wait a minute
I paid 12 dollars for that shirt
This is my shirt

A Married Man's A Fool
A Married Man's A Fool
Composer(s): Willie McTell
Performer(s): Ry Cooder; Roy Book Binder; Willie McTell
Had a friend, Louie Brown, he was a deacon
Just as wise as he could be
Now I realized he could read the Good Book
Back from Revelations down to Genesee
You know last Sunday morning we was over to the church
My buddy wants to take him a stand
And he looks out upon the whole congregation
The Good Book in his hand
Now he cast his eye about, and then he looks over in the Amen Corner
All the sisters commenced to shout [What'd he say?]
He said a married man's a fool to think that his wife love nobody else but him
She stick by you all o' your life the chances is mighty slim
Now you read the Good Book, chapter twenty-one
Every married woman got to have a little fun
Read on over chapter twenty-two
It's a sin to let that woman make a fool outta you
Now you read a little further, chapter twenty-three
She two-time you, brother, like she double-crossed me
Read on back, over chapter ten
Shimmy one time, you got the problem again
'Cause a married man's a fool to think that his wife loves nobody else but him
I mean, loves nobody else but him
Well, a married man's a fool to think that his wife
Loves nobody else but him
She stick by you all your life the chances is mighty slim
Now you read on over twenty-fifth page
Married women's, Lord, is hard to engage
Read kinda careful, chapter twenty-six
Back door slamming you got to learn to get it fixed
Read on out, chapter twenty-eight
Who's that back slidin' out through yo' back gate?
I believe I'll close on chapter twenty-nine
Woman get tired of the same man all the time
'Cause a married man's fool to think that his wife loves nobody else but him
I mean love nobody else but him

A Married Man
Composer(s): Marian Grudeff - Raymond Jessel
Performer(s): Peter Sallis
A married man, a married man
How wonderful to be a married man
For now I know life's purpose
And it's plan since time began
A lonely man, I took a wife
And added love and laughter to my life
And realized there's no one richer than
A married man
With two to share each happiness
And two to bear each wound
And, oh, the woe seems so much less
And how the pleasures grow
The bachelor, the bachelor
I've lived his life
And I've lived with her
Well, led him lead his so-called
Merry life as best he can
But as for me, I'd rather be
A happy man, contented man
A married man
Yes, as for me, I'd rather be
A happy man, contented man
A married man

How Can You Tell
How Can You Tell
Composer(s): Chris Andrews
Performer(s): Sandie Shaw
My love says the sweetest things
Everyone who knows him tells me
That he brings me true loving
But I don't really know 'cause
How can you tell if somebody loves you
How d'you know they mean it
How can you tell if somebody loves you
Maybe he's just playing games with me
O woah woah woah
He smiles when I take his hand
Then he'll kiss me and I just don't understand
Why I doubt it
When he tells me he loves me
How can you tell if somebody loves you
How d'you know they mean it
How can you tell if somebody loves you
Maybe he's just playing games with me
O woah woah woah
I treasure every moment
He and I spent together
Sharing kisses
I wish it would last for ever and ever
Maybe I shouldn't speak of love
But since I met him it's the one thing I think of
And he tells me he feels the same way
And yet how can you tell if somebody loves you
How d'you know they mean it
How can you tell if somebody loves you
Maybe he's just playing games with me
O woah woah woah

Covered by multiple other artists
Tonight down here in the valley
I'm lonesome and oh, how I feel
As I sit here alone in your cabin
I can see your mansion on the hill
Do you remember when we parted?
The story to me you revealed
You said you could live without love, dear
In your loveless mansion on the hill
I've waited all through the years. love
To give you a heart true and real
Cos I know you are living in sorrow
In your loveless mansion on the hill
The light shines bright from your window
The trees stand so silent and still
I know you're alone with your pride, dear
In your loveless mansion on the hill
