How To Get Depressed
How To Get Depressed
Composer(s): Bob Lind
Performer(s): Bob Lind
Beginning with the basics, you sit right down
And give a lot of thought to yourself
If any higher value should cross your mind
Consider the state of your health
Think of what that strange little cough could mean
And what you should have said to that jerk
Start with the assumption that something's wrong
And anything you think of will work
Make a list of who's slighted you
And all the things it's too late to do
Think of all your mistakes
And how little difference you make
You're halfway there
Don't be like the amateurs who waste their time
Counting up the bad breaks they've known
Use your time efficiently and call to mind
All of the good breaks you've blown
Think of all those chances for happiness
Chances that only knock once
Watch the clock and remind yourself
How the days keep turning to months
Judge people that you never met
Watch the news every chance you get
Spend your mornings inside
Keep defending your pride
You're almost there
Think about those sneaky middle-eastern creeps
Think about your backstabbing friends
Sit around remembering the good old days
Life was so much simpler then
If right now someone's heart is reaching out to you
Shut it hard away from your mind
You know you're prob'ly too cool for her
He's gonna suck up your time
Think of Hemingway, Monroe and van Gogh
Remind yourself of how the great ones go
Geniuses don't ask for help
You're kind of brilliant yourself
There you are

A New Love
A New Love
Composer(s): Dave Loggins
Performer(s): Reba McEntire
Love’s the only thing I know in this life
That’s cut me deeper than the sharpest knife
And once again here I am and I’m paying the price for a new love
I still hurt the one I lost
Standing here on a bridge that I can’t get across
And I can’t burn but I will when I walk with a new love
I believe
It’s gonna be better then ever before
Thats why I’m looking for
A new love
For this old heart
A new love
And I just can’t wait to start
I wanna feel that way again
Oh when I find a new love
For this old heart of mine
Say I’m looking for a new love
Somebody tell me where I find a new love
For this old heart of mine
Love’s the only thing that’s ever made me cry
Nothing’s ever made me feel more alive
Thats why once again here I am
Looking for the eyes of a new love
I know that somewhere in this world tonight
There’s a guy (she goes high on this part and I have no clue what she says)
I’d even look if I thought I might find a new love
I believe
It’s gonna be better then ever before
Thats why I’m looking for
A new love
For this old heart
A new love
And I just can’t wait to start
I wanna feel that way again
Oh when I find a new love
For this old heart of mine
I believe
It’s gonna be better then ever before
Thats why I’m looking for
A new love
For this old heart
A new love
And I just can’t wait to start
I wanna feel that way again
Oh when I find a new love
For this old heart of mine
Oh I’m looking for a new love
For this old heart of mine
Oh I’m looking for a new love
For this old heart of mine
Say I need a new love
For this old heart of mine
Oh I’m looking for a new love
Somebody tell me where I’ll find
For this old heart of mine

How To Catch A Man
Composer(s): Cy Coben; Minnie Pearl
Performer(s): Minnie Pearl
Now, when a handsome feller smiles at you
What harm can a little flirtin' do?
And if he steals a kiss, now don't get sore
Remember, you've got plenty more!
How to catch a man, how to catch a man
Girls are always askin' me
"How do you catch a man?"
Catch him while you can
With the Minnie Pearl plan
Here's a little tip on how to catch a man
Hog-tie him!
Tell him this and keep a straight face, hon
Tell him two can live as cheap as one!
Promise him anything, and you will find
That after you are married, you can change your mind!
How to catch a man, how to catch a man
Girls are always askin' me
"How do you catch a man?"
Catch him while you can
With the Minnie Pearl plan
Here's a little tip on how to catch a man
Get a Bear trap!

A New Fangled Tango
A New Fangled Tango
Composer(s): Matt Dubey - Harold Karr
Performer(s): Ethel Merman
and multiple other artists
Everybody's mambo crazy
Cha-cha happy, but I'm lazy
I don't dig that frantic turpsichord
When I trip the light fantastic
I don't wanna be gymnastic
That's not what a dancing floor is for
What I got in mind is a big improvement
With a very minimum amount of movement
Let the other couples push and shove
What I got in mind I think you're gonna love
I got a new-fangled tango
And there's nothing to it
You just sort of stand there
And just sort of do it
You stand close together
There's no wasted motion
A new fangled tango
An old fashioned motion
The floor may be crowded
But that doesn't matter
It's not necessary to move
Don't move, why move
It may be crowded
But that's all the better
It's just like romancing, while dancing
Who's dancin'
You start off with one step
And cling to each other
And you know how one step
Can lead to another
Oh, there's nothing wrong with
A waltz or fandango
But oh, what can come from
A new fangled tango
You cling to your partner
And sway to the rhythm
You can't lose your partner
'Cause you're right there with him
You don't have to be worry
About fast or slow steps
The nice part about it
In this dance, you don't need steps
You don't have to worry
If your dancing won't do
It's not what you do do
It's more what you don't do
You don't need a waltz
Or a fancy fandango
You just need a man
And a new fangled tango
Forget the fandango
Give up the mambo
Do the tango

Composer(s): Tommy Coe
Performer(s): Jerry Wallace
dickey-doo-oo-oo-oo) (dickey-doo-oo-oo-oo)
(dickey-doo-oo-oo) (locka-day-ay)
How the time flies
When I'm near you
When I'm near you
How the time flies
Seems like heaven
When I'm near you
When I'm near you
How the time flies
Wonder why when we're alone
The hours always pass so fast
A kiss or two and then you're gone
Gee, the time just doesn't last
If the night would never pass
And the sun would never rise
Not one moment would we waste
But, darling, how the time, it flies
How the time flies
When I'm near you
When I'm near you
How the ti-i-i-ime flies
(dickey-doo-oo-oo-oo) (dickey-doo-oo-oo-oo)
(dickey-doo-oo-oo) (locka-day-ay)
How the time flies
When I'm near you
When I'm near you
How the ti-i-i-ime flies

A New England
A New England
Composer(s): Billy Bragg
First release by: Billy Bragg - 1983
Covered by multiple other artists
I was twenty-one years when I wrote this song
I'm twenty-two now, but I won't be for long
People ask me when will I grow up to understand
Why the girls I knew at school are already pushing prams
I loved you then as I love you still
Though I put you on a pedestal, you put me on the pill
I don't feel bad about letting you go
I just feel sad about letting you know
I don't want to change the world
I'm not looking for a new england
Are you looking for another girl
I loved the words you wrote to me
But that was bloody yesterday
I can't survive on what you send
Every time you need a friend
I saw two shooting stars last night
I wished on them, but they were only satellites
It's wrong to wish on space hardware
I wish, I wish, I wish you'd care
I don't want to change the world
I'm not looking for a new england
Are you looking for another girl
My dreams were full of strange ideas
My mind was set despite the fears
But other things got in the way
I never asked that boy to stay
Once upon a time at home
I sat beside the telephone
Waiting for someone to pull me through
When at last it didn't ring, I knew it wasn't you
I don't want to change the world
I'm not looking for a new england
Are you looking for another girl

How Sweet You Are
How Sweet You Are
Composer(s): Frank Loesser; Arthur Schwartz
Performer(s): Geraldo & His Orch.;
and various other artists
How sweet you are
How sweet you are
How dear your tenderly smiling face
Through days all bitter and gray and grim
Through nights when even the stars are dim
How sweet to know my heart can glow
From just the warmth of our first embrace
The world’s a lovelier place by far
When I remember how sweet you are
How sweet to know my heart can glow
From just the warmth of our first embrace
The world’s a lovelier place by far
When I remember how sweet you are
When I remember how sweet you are

A New Day Yesterday
A New Day Yesterday
Composer(s): Ian Anderson
Performer(s): Jethro Tull
My first and last time with you
and we had some fun
Went walking through the trees, yeah!
And then I kissed you once
Oh I want to see you soon
but I wonder how
It was a new day yesterday
but it's an old day now
Spent a long time looking
for a game to play
My luck should be so bad now
to turn out this way
Oh I had to leave today
just when I thought I'd found you
It was a new day yesterday
But it's an old day now

How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved By You)
How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved By You)
Composer(s): Lamont Dozier; B. Holland; Eddie Holland
Performer(s): James Taylor
How sweet it is to be loved by you
How sweet it is to be loved by you
I needed the shelter of someone's arms and there you were
I needed someone to understand my ups and downs and there you were
With sweet love and devotion
Deeply touching my emotion
I want to stop and thank you baby
I just want to stop and thank you baby
How sweet it is to be loved by you
How sweet it is to be loved by you
I close my eyes at night
Wondering where would I be without you in my life
Everything I did was just a bore
Everywhere I went it seems I'd been there before
But you brighten up for me all of my days
With a love so sweet in so many ways
I want to stop and thank you baby
I just want to stop and thank you baby
How sweet it is to be loved by you
How sweet it is to be loved by you
You were better for me than I was for myself
For me, there's you and there ain't nobody else
I want to stop and thank you baby
I just want to stop and thank you baby
How sweet it is to be loved by you
How sweet it is to be loved by you

Marion Michael Morrison
Marion Michael Morrison
Composer(s): C.W. Kalb Jr.
Performer(s): Ray Stevens
He was born in the little farming town of Winterset
On The New Frontier, a mid-west native son
But his star would shine as bright as any star can ever get
And he would Cast A Giant Shadow before he was done
Tall In The Saddle, he went to Reap The Wild Wind
In Old California and across the Rio Grande
From Stagecoach on The Big Trail to Rio Bravo and back again
He rode on Wings Of Eagles, this Quiet Man
Here's to you, Marion Michael Morrison
Here's to you for all our battles that you fought and won
A true American hero, a straight-shootin' son-of-a-gun
Here's to you, Marion Michael Morrison
Singin' Sandy, Sergeant Stryker, McLintock and McQ
Katie's Elder Son and Big Jim McLean
Brannigan and Rooster, Hondo and Big Jake
Yeah, we knew him by a hundred different names
On the Sands Of Iwo Jima, Back To Bataan
The Flying Tigers and The Green Berets
He was with The Fighting Seabees and ev'ry American fighting man
At The Alamo and on that Longest Day
And here's to you, Marion Michael Morrison
Here's to you for all our battles that you fought and won
A true American hero, a straight-shootin' son-of-a-gun
Here's to you, Marion Michael Morrison
There might be a few who would dare to say
The star you hung might fade away
But I can hear you tell 'em
"Pilgrim, that'll be the day"
Here's to you, Marion Michael Morrison
Here's to you for all our battles that you fought and won
A true American hero, a straight-shootin' son-of-a-gun
Here's to you, Marion Michael Morrison
Here's to you, Marion Michael Morrison

How Soon? (Will I Be Seeing You)
Composer(s): Carroll Lucas; Jack Owens
Performer(s): Bing Crosby;
and various other artists
How soon will I be seeing you?
How soon?
I wish I really knew
And when will you be saying words I want to hear?
Tender little love words story old, meaning clear
How soon will I be close to you?
And dance the way we used to do
I see your star eyes gleaming
Don't mind me if I'm dreaming
Tell me, darling, now
How soon?

A New Day
A New Day
Composer(s): Killing Joke
Performer(s): Killing Joke
You
You wake up to a new day
Forwards
We move towards a new way oh
Come with me
Gather with your torches
Singing
Dance by night we all are strong
A new day....oh, a new day
A new way...oh, a new way
Somewhere the sun shines in the east
A new day....oh, a new day
Touch me
Tell me I'm still human
And wild
We'll run until we run ??run long??
Our bodies talk, words are lost
Hand in hand we follow
All around
A man becomes the people
A new day....oh, a new day
A new way...oh, a new way
Somewhere the sun shines in the east
A new day....oh, a new day
You
You caught me in your spell
Hypnotized
You touched me and now I'm ??gone??
Conflict
Every day the same
Wishing
Wishing we could see the way
A new day....oh, a new day
A new way...oh, a new way
Somewhere the sun shines in the east
A new day....oh, a new day
We watch the sun rise in the east
A new day....oh, a new day
A new day....oh, a new day
A new day....oh, a new day
A new day....oh, a new day

How Soon
How Soon
Composer(s): Al Stillman; Henry Mancini
Performer(s): Henry Mancini;
and various other artists
How soon the flame of love can die
How soon "goodnight" becomes "goodbye"
You're gone now, and life goes on now
And ev'rything seems out of tune
But time can bring a change of heart
And love can make another start
Someday, you may come back to me to stay
But who can say how soon?

A Needle In A Haystack
A Needle In A Haystack
Composer(s): Con Conrad - Herb Magidson
Performer(s): Fred Astaire
It's just like looking for a needle in a haystack
Searching for a moonbeam in the blue
Still I've got to find you
It's just like looking for a raindrop in the ocean
Searching for a dewdrop in the dew
Still I've got to find you
I'll roam the town in hope that we'll meet
Look at each face I pass on the street
Sometimes I feel the beat of your feet
But it's just my imagination
Though it's like looking for a needle in a haystack
Still I'll follow everything you do
'Cause I've got to find you

How Sad Venice Can Be
How Sad Venice Can Be ((aka Venice In Blue (Bobby Darin) - 1965))
((Adapted from: Que C'est Triste Venise (Charles Aznavour) - 1964))
Composer(s): Charles Aznavour - Françoise Dorin
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour - 1965
Versions In Other Languages:
1965 - Venedig In Grau (Corry Brokken)
1965 - Venecia Sin Ti (Charles Aznavour)
1965 - É Tão Triste Veneza (Agnaldo Timóteo)
1970 - Com'è Triste Venezia (Charles Aznavour)
How sad Venice can be
When you return alone
A fond memory
In every paving stone
I walk among the birds
That fill San Marco's Square
With echoes of her words
Around me in the air
How sad Venice can be
When mandolins play
A song she sung for me
One unforgotten day
Like images of sleep
The gondoliers go by
But when I try to weep
I find my tears are dry
How sad Venice can be
When mist is in your eyes
And you can hardly see
As pigeons fill the skies
I find the little street
And then the old cafe
Where we would always meet
To dream away the day
How sad Venice can be
Beneath the silent moon
That rises from the sea
And silvers the lagoon
I hear the vespers chime
And cross the Bridge of Sighs
I know that it is time
To bid my last goodbye
There's nothing more to say
I pass beneath the light
And then I turn away
From Venice in the night
How sad Venice can be
It's too lonely to bear
When you have lost the love
That you discovered there

(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman
(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman
Composer(s): Carole King - Gerald Wexler - Gerry Goffin
First release by: Aretha Franklin - 1967
Covered by multiple other artists
Looking out on the morning rain
I used to feel uninspired
And when I knew I had to face another day
Lord, it made me feel so tired
Before the day I met you, life was so unkind
But your love was the key to peace my mind
'Cause you make me feel, you make me feel, you make me feel like
A natural woman
When my soul was in the lost-and-found
You came along to claim it
I didn't know just what was wrong with me
Till your kiss helped me name it
Now I'm no longer doubtful of what I'm living for
'Cause if I make you happy I don't need no more
Oh, baby, what you've done to me
You make me feel so good inside
And I just want to be close to you
You make me feel so alive

How Much Tequila (Did I Drink Last Night?)
How Much Tequila (Did I Drink Last Night?)
Composer(s): Steve Goodman; John Prine
Performer(s): Steve Goodman
How much tequila did I drink last night?
It's really anybody's guess
I poured them so fast, I couldn't keep them in the glass
But this morning I sure am a mess
My head is four or five times its normal size
And I got this big old cactus stuck between my eyes
I can't recall a single thing I did or said
Or the names of all these people sleeping in this bed
Tell me how, tell me how, tell me how, tell me how
Tell me how much tequila did I drink last night?
How did I get these cuts and bruises all over my body?
I must have fallen down somehow
I believe it had something to do with karate
It's all coming back to me now
I was standing in a bar with King Kong's cousin
He must have been seven foot three
His elbow gave me a bump, and so I said "Hey, chump
Would you like to step outside with me?"
Tell me how, tell me how, tell me how, tell me how
Tell me how much tequila did I drink last night?
My mouth is filled with cotton and my brain is sore
I left last night's dinner on this morning's floor
My stomach is swollen and my eyeballs shrunk
I drank so much that my hair got drunk
I see a big old worm about ten feet long
Hallucinating purple cows
Somebody moved the furniture while I was gone
Uh oh, this is not my house
I could call us a taxi on the telephone
If I only knew where we are
I guess I'm gonna have to drive myself back home
As soon as I can find the car
Tell me how, tell me how, tell me how, tell me how
Tell me how much tequila did I drink last night?

A Natural Man
A Natural Man
Composer(s): Sandy Baron - Bobby Hebb
Performer(s): Lou Rawls
You know, there was a time when, if someone told you to do somethin', you did it
Bam! Right on!
No questions asked
It was "Yes, sir" and "Yes, mam"
You never said no
You know? Huh
But, you know, things are changing nowadays
It's a new day, babies
Folks want to take their own lives into their hands and make their own choices
No longer do they wanna go along with the program 'cause everybody say it's right
You know what I mean?
Let me tell ya what I'm talkin' about, ya see, 'cause...
I don't want no gold watch for workin' fifty years from nine till five
A-while the boss is guzzling champagne and I'm beltin' beer in some dive
'Cause I want to be happy and free
Livin' and loving for me
I want to be happy and free
Livin' and lovin' for me
Like a natural man (like a natural man)
A natural man (like a natural man)
Well now, I refuse to listen to people's thinkin' that I live too high
I'm gonna taste it now before my one life streaks on by
'Cause I want to be happy and free
Livin' and lovin' for me
I want to be happy and free
Livin' and lovin' for me
Just like a natural man (like a natural man)
I said a natural man (just like a natural man)
Well now, I tried to do what others say that I should do
They say that I should fit in, fool 'em, fake it, well
Those kinda dues just make me crazy and blue
Man, I just can't take it
So when ya see me walkin', won't ya notice that proud look in my eyes
My feet are on the ground and my soul is searchin' for the sky
'Cause I want to be happy and free
Livin' and lovin' for me
I want to be happy and free
Livin' and lovin' for me
Just like a natural man (just like a natural man)
A natural man (just like a natural man)
Just like a natural man (just like a natural man)
My feet are on the ground (just like a natural man)
My soul is searchin' for the sky (just like a natural man)
Like a natural man (just like a natural man)
No more "Yes, sir" (just like a natural man)
No more "Yes, mam" (just like a natural man)
Huh, 'cause I'm a natural man (just like a natural man)
I'm a natural man (just like a natural man)
