Young Man Blues


Young Man Blues
Composer(s): Mose Allison
Performer(s): The Who;
and various other artists



Uh, well, a young man ain't got nothing in the world these days
I said a young man, ain't got nothing in the world these days
Well you know in the old days
When a young man was a strong man
All the people the stepped back
When a young man walked by
But you know nowadays
It's the old man, he's got all the money
And a young man, ain't got nothing in the world these days, I say
They ain't got nothing
They got nothing, pissed off
Ooh yeah
Ahh, yeah
Get it!
Everybody knows
Everybody knows
Everybody knows
Everybody knows that a young man ain't got nothin
Oooh yeah
Ohhh, the young man
Get it
Everybody knows, everybody knows
In the old days
Everybody stepped back
When a young man walked, walked by
They stepped back
They stepped back
They stepped back
Nowadays if you're the young man
You ain't got nothing in the world these days, I said
You ain't got nothing
They got sweet fuck all

Swimming


Swimming
Composer(s): Mark Gane - Andy Haas - Daniel Lanois
Performer(s): Martha and the Muffins



Another fight on the street below
They've got things to prove
Shouting threats and sending out a counterglow
All they do is walk, talk, knit socks, wind clocks
and crawl on their bellies like a reptile

I have no idea at all...
I hear a sound...

We talk of parks and simple places
Sense the thickness of the air
Highly strung like nervous guitars
My fingers make waves in you

We're afraid to call it love
Let's call it swimming...

Swim, Little Fish


Swim, Little Fish
Composer(s): Phil Parke - Harry Parr-Davies
Performer(s): George Formby



Now once upon a time there was a little fish
And he lived in a long long stream
And to make his way to the great wide world
Was this little fish's dream

So a wise old trout who'd been about
Advised him what to do
Now he said "fishes wishes won't come true
If they dream the whole day through

So swim little fish swim on, swim little fish swim on
We're two ambitious fishes you and I, we'll get our wishes if we try try try
Swim little fish swim on, swim little fish swim on
Blow little bubbles all the long day through
Show little troubles that they can't stop you
For everything in life worthwhile is hard to get my friend
So don't give up and don t give in, it's worthwhile in the end

Swim little fish swim on, swim little fish swim on
Swim little fella till your dreams come true
You'll meet the very little fish for you
You can be happy if you swim, swim, swim, swim, swim little fish swim on

Swim little fish swim on, swim little fish swim on
If you are weary at the river mouth, ask for a lift upon the next wave south
Swim little fish swim on, swim little fish swim on
Be very careful and you'll find it pays, mind how you cross the gulf and look both ways

A chap can get a good square meal and all that he can wish
The wise fish goes to smokey roes, a good pull in for fish
Swim little fish swim on, swim little fish swim on
Always remember mother's good advice
Steer clear of fishes who are not quite nice
Do nothing fishy fishy, swim swim swim swim
Swim little fish swim on
O.K.

Performer(s): Sonny James;

They say for every boy and girl
There's just one love in this whole world
And I know I've found mine
The heavenly touch of your embrace
Tells me no one could take your place
Ever in my heart

Young love, first love
Filled with true devotion
Young love, our love
We share with deep emotion

Just one kiss from your sweet lips
Will tell me that you love is real
And I can feel that it's true
We will vow to one another
There will never be another
Love for you or for me

Young love, first love
Filled with true devotion
Young love, our love
We share with deep emotion

Young In Love


Young In Love
Composer(s): Richard Dehr; Terry Gilkyson
Performer(s): Michael Holliday; The Easy Riders



Young in love
Through the years together
Young in love ...

May we stay young in love
As we are today
Always so young in love
We will find our way

Take this ring for your finger
With much more than gold
While its memories linger
We’ll be young in love, even when we’re old

As we travel through life
May the roses bloom
For a man and a wife
For a bride and groom

And may each little blessing find us
In a little white house we’re dreaming of
And above all we have
May we stay young in love

Take this ring for your finger
With much more than gold
While its memories linger
We’ll be young in love, even when we’re old

As we travel through life
May the roses bloom
For a man and a wife
For a bride and groom

And may each little blessing find us
In a little white house we’re dreaming of
And above all we have
May we stay young in love

Ma Biche


Ma Biche
((Adapted from: Sweets For My Sweet (by The Drifters) - 1961))
Composer(s): Mort Shuman - Doc Pomus - Vline Buggy
Performer(s): Frank Alamo - 1963



Biche, ô ma biche
Lorsque tu soulignes
Au crayon noir tes jolis yeux
Biche, ô ma biche
Moi je m'imagine
Que ce sont deux papillons bleus

Biche, ô ma biche
Lorsque tu soulignes
Au crayon noir tes jolis yeux
Biche, ô ma biche
Moi je m'imagine
Que ce sont deux papillons bleus

Tenant d'un main ta petite glace ronde
Tu plisses ton front enfantin
Et de l'air le plus sérieux du monde
Tu dessines en un tour de main
Un œil de ...

Biche, ô ma biche
Lorsque tu soulignes
Au crayon noir tes jolis yeux
Biche, ô ma biche
Moi je m'imagine
Que ce sont deux papillons bleus

Tu vois depuis le premier jour qu'on s'aime
Frappé par ton regard ailé
J'ai oublié ton nom de baptême
Tout de suite je t'ai appelée
Ma douce ...

Biche, ô ma biche
Lorsque tu soulignes
Au crayon noir tes jolis yeux
Biche, ô ma biche
Moi je m'imagine
Que ce sont deux papillons bleus

Je me demande pourquoi tu te maquilles
Si tu veux mon avis à moi
Sans rien tu sais tu es très très jolie
Je ne vois vraiment pas pourquoi...
Pourquoi tu triches
Ô ma biche
Je t'en prie de grâce
Laisse tes yeux sans rien autour
Pour moi ma biche quoi que tu leur fasses
Tes yeux sont les yeux de l'amour
Tes yeux sont les yeux de l'amour
Tes yeux sont les yeux de l'amour....

Young Hearts Run Free


Young Hearts Run Free
Composer(s): David Crawford
Performer(s): Candi Staton;
and various other artists



What's the sense in sharing, this one and only life
Endin' up, just another lost and lonely wife
You'll count up the years, and they will be filled with tears
Love only breaks up, to start over again
You'll get the baby, but you won't have your man
While he is busy loving every woman that he can, uh-huh
Say I'm gonna leave a hundred times a day
It's easier said than done
When you just can't break away (when you just can't break away)

Chorus:
Oh young hearts run free
Never be hung up, hung up like my man and me, my man and me
Ooh, young hearts, to yourself be true
Don't be no fool when love really don't love you, don't love you

It's high time now just one crack at life
Who wants to live in, in trouble and strife
My mind must be free, to learn all I can about me, uh-hmm

I'm gonna love me, for the rest of my days
Encourage the babies every time they say
"Self preservation is what's really going on today"

Say I'm gonna turn loose a thousand times a day
But how can I turn loose
When I just can't break away (when I just can't break away)

Oh young hearts run free
They'll never be hung up, hung up like my man and me, you and me
Ooh, young hearts, to yourself be true
Don't be no fool when love really don't love you, don't love you

(Saxophone solo)

Repeat Chorus

Sweets For My Sweet


Sweets For My Sweet
((French Version: Ma Biche (by Frank Alamo) - 1963))
Composer(s): Doc Pomus - Mort Shuman
First release by: The Drifters - 1961
Covered by multiple other artists



If you wanted a star that shines so brightly
To match the stardust in your eyes
Darling, I would chase that bright star nightly
And try to steal it from the skies

Cuz I'd give sweets for my sweet, sugar for my honey
Your perfect kiss thrills me so
Sweets for my sweet, sugar for my honey
I'll never ever let you go

If you needed a dream to keep you smiling
I'd tell the sandman you were blue
And I'd ask him to keep that sand piling
Until your dreams would all come true

Cuz I'd give sweets for my sweet, sugar for my honey
Your perfect kiss thrills me so
Sweets for my sweet, sugar for my honey
I'll never ever let you go

If you wanted a love to last forever
Then I would send my love your way
And my love won't only last forever
But forever and a day

Cuz I'd give sweets for my sweet, sugar for my honey
Your perfect kiss thrills me so
Sweets for my sweet, sugar for my honey
I'll never ever let you go

Cuz I'd give sweets for my sweet, sugar for my honey
Your perfect kiss thrills me so
Sweets for my sweet, sugar for my honey
I'll never ever let you go

Young Guns


Young Guns
Composer(s): UB40
Performer(s): UB40; Alpha Blondy



Hey hot shot
Your'e a one man band
The Don on the block
With a glock in your hand
With a girl and a ride
You don't wanna hear
Think you're getting respect
All you find is fear

The one damn thing
you sure to find
Is another gun
Where you're gonna hide
Said you'd never never run
I guess you lied
You're the fool in the crew that died
You're mother cried

Hold your fire, cool your temper, young guns never too bold
Hold your fire, just remember, young guns never grow old

The one damn thing
you sure to find
Is a bigger gun
To blow away your pride
You're young blood running in the roadside
And in the crossfire, innocents died
We all cried

Hold your fire ...

Sweetness


Sweetness
Composer(s): Jon Anderson - Clive Bailey - Chris Squire
Performer(s): Yes



She brings the sunshine to a rainy afternoon
She puts the sweetness in and stirs it with a spoon
She watches for my moods and never brings me down
She puts the sweetness in all around
She knows just what to say to make me feel so good inside
And when I'm all alone I feel I don't want to hide
Today she bought me in and told me where she'd been
She put my mind at rest and put the sweetness in
I'll ask her for some time to go and look around
She puts the sweetness in all around
She knows just what to say to make a sunny day
And when I'm all alone I really don't feel that way
Tell me how would you feel with no world of your own
And nobody to hold, I just can't see the way
I'm so glad it's today and you're here, you're here
Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo
Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo

She brings the sunshine to a rainy afternoon
She puts the sweetness in and stirs it with a spoon
She watches for all my moods never brings me down
She puts the sweetness in all around
She knows just what to say to make a sunny day
And when I'm all alone I really don't feel that way
Oh how I need her so, I know she'll never ever go
Do do do do do do
She'll never leave me, believe me - no
Do do do do do do
She'll never go, no no
No no no no no no no no no - no!

Young Girl Sunday Blues


Young Girl Sunday Blues
Composer(s): Marty Balin; Paul Kantner
Performer(s): Jefferson Airplane



In my heart I have a feeling and I don't know what I'm gonna do
Oh, what a beautiful world, the world, what should I do?
What should I do?
Don't you know what I have found?
Maybe you've found it too
Today is made up of yesterday and tomorrow
Young girl Sunday blues and all her sorrow

One side of me is filled with brightness, no matter what I might say
The days are made with waterfall colors, couldn't I make you stay?
If rain slides the sides of my face must be a rainy day
But I get lost in yesterday and tomorrow, tomorrow
Young girl Sunday blues and all her sorrow

I walk beside you laughing and I'm high, don't try to touch me with words
When I tell you I dream it might seem like silence, but so much can be heard
I think of things, what loving you brings, maybe my thing is her
Today is made of yesterday and tomorrow
Young girl Sunday blues, and all her sorrow

Ah! come into my mind, let yourself wander free and easy
Ah! come into my life, Sunday blues girl, young and new girl
You're the only true girl here can please me
I said, "Please me, yeah! Please me! Please me! Please me!"

Sweetie, Sweetie


Sweetie, Sweetie
Composer(s): Bart
Performer(s): Edmundo Ros



You have got me running around
Like a bee without a hive
I’ve got two feet on the ground
And it’s great to be alive
But you turned me old and grey
Before my wedding day
Oh Sweetie, Sweetie, hear my entreaty
And don’t you run away

Hear me calling to you, Sweetie, Sweetie
Yes, Sweetie, Sweetie
Sweetie, Sweetie, hear my entreaty
And don’t you run away

I’m calling Sweetie, Sweetie
My Sweetie, Sweetie
Sweetie, Sweetie, hear my entreaty
And don’t you run away

Now tell me, what’s a fellow to do
When a gal don’t want to know
I try everything new
But I guess I must be slow
‘Cos the only game you play
Is keeping me at bay
Oh Sweetie, Sweetie, hear my entreaty
And don’t you run away

Hear me calling to you, Sweetie, Sweetie
My, Sweetie, Sweetie
Sweetie, Sweetie, hear my entreaty
And don’t you run away

Come on Darling, Sweetie, Sweetie
Tell me, Sweetie, Sweetie
My Sweetie, Sweetie, hear my entreaty
And don’t you run away

Young Girl


Young Girl
Composer(s): Dee Clark; Jerry Fuller
Performer(s): Gary Puckett & The Union Gap



Young girl, get out of my mind
My love for you is way out of line
Better run, girl
You're much too young, girl
With all the charms of a woman
You've kept the secret of your youth
You led me to believe
You're old enough
To give me Love
And now it hurts to know the truth
Oh
Beneath your perfume and make-up
You're just a baby in disguise
And though you know
That it is wrong to be
Alone with me
That come on look is in your eyes
Oh
So hurry home to your mama
I'm sure she wonders where you are
Get out of here
Before I have the time
To change my mind
'Cause I'm afraid we'll go too far
Oh
Young girl

Sweetie O'mine


Sweetie O'mine
Composer(s): Haven Gillespie - Egbert Van Alstyne



Dearie, hear the joyful bells aringing gay
While the news is spreading of our wedding day
Cupid's in the aisle dressed in his Sunday smile
Awaiting there to guide us on our way

Since my sweetie named the day and everything
I've been saving up my pay to buy the ring
All the folks I see are wishing they were me
They say I'm as lucky as can be

The choir is singing, just for that Sweetie o' mine
The chimes are ringing for me and Sweetie o' mine
And to a cozy bungalow
Where pretty roses grow I'll soon be bringing, that Sweetie o' mine
Since dear old school days she's been a Sweetie o' mine
Since golden rule days, I've loved her all of the time
And you can tell the world for me, she's always going to be
The same old sweetheart, that Sweetie o' mine

Sweethearts In The Spring


Sweethearts In The Spring
Performer(s): Foster & Allen



It was on a summer's evening when all the world was still
Two lovers rambled down the lane to an old and wooden mill
He was leaving on the 'morrow for lands far far away
And as she nestles close to him she heard him softly say

I'll return my little sweetheart, in the Spring
And for us those wedding bells will gai-aily ring
And when all the wrongs are righted
Our hearts will be united
I'll return my little sweetheart, i-in the Spring

On the quay there stands a soldier in uniform so bright
He's waiting for a big troop ship to take him to the fight
The bugles they are blowing and the master climbed it high
And as the cable settled down from below there comes a sight

I'll return my little sweetheart, in the Spring
And for us those wedding bells will gai-aily ring
And when all the wrongs are righted
Our hearts will be united
I'll return my little sweetheart, i-in the Spring

In a cottage by a fireside sits a maiden young and fair
And as the tears roll down her cheeks, her letter she put there
And as she read it o'er and o'er it was more than she could bear
But ever' morning dawned for her she was gone for all was fair

So they laid in her in the graveyard in the Spring
And for her those wedding bells will never ring
For among the dead and dying her soldier boy was lying
When they laid her in the graveyard i-in the Spring

I'll return my little sweetheart in the Spring
And for us those wedding bells will gai-aily ring
And when all the wrongs are righted
Our hearts will be ...
