Wallflower
Wallflower
Composer(s): Peter Gabriel
Performer(s): Peter Gabriel
6x6 - from wall to wall
Shutters on the windows, no light at all
Damp on the floor you got damp on the bed
They're trying to get you crazy - get you out of your head
They feed you scraps and they feed you lies
To lower your defences, no compromise
Nothing you can do, they day can be long
You mind is working overtime, you body's not too strong
Hold on, hold on
They put you in a box so you can't get heard
Let your spirit stay unbroken, may you not be deterred
Hold on, you have gambled with your own life
And you face the night alone
While the builders of the cages
They sleep with bullets, bars and stone
They do not see your road to freedom
That you build with flesh and bone
They take you out - the light burns your eyes
To the talking room - it's not surprise
Loaded questions from clean white coats
Their eyes are all as hidden as their Hipppcratic Oath
They tell you - how to behave, hehave as their guest
You want to resist them, you do your best
They take you to your limits, they take you beyond
For all that they are doing there's no way to respond
Hold on, hold on
They put you in a box so you can't get heard
Let your spirit stay unbroken, may you not be deterred
Hold on, you have gambled with your own life
And you face the night alone
While the builders of the cages
They sleep with bullets, bars and stone
They do not see your road to freedom
That you build with flesh and bone
Though you may disappear, you're not forgotten here
And I will say to you, I will do what I can do
You may disappear, you're not forgotten here
And I will say you you, I will do what I can do
And I will do what I can do
And I will do what I can do

A Thousand Thoughts Of You
A Thousand Thoughts Of You
Composer(s): Sammy Gallop - Ulpio Minucci
Performer(s): Nat King Cole; Lou Lanza
A thousand thoughts of you
Will haunt me ever after
The music of your laughter
Will serenade my heart
A thousand thoughts of you
Will roam the night and find me
With chains of love they'll bind me
To dreams that won't depart
Your face, your smile
The moonlight in your hair
Your lips, your eyes
I'll see them everywhere
A thousand kisses too
Will keep me reminiscing
For there'll be no dismissing
A thousand thoughts of you
A thousand kisses too
Will keep me reminiscing
For there'll be no dismissing
A thousand thoughts of you

Ain't no guy in town
Who would ever try to put me down
When I'm walkin' walkin' with my angel, whoa-uh-oh

When I'm walkin' walkin' with my angel (angel)

I'm as happy as can be
Aww, she's the prettiest girl in town
And everyone can see she belongs to me
Well I feel so proud

When I'm walkin' walkin' with my angel
Aww, when we're strollin' hand in hand
I'm as happy as can be
'cause she's the prettiest girl in town
And everyone can see she belongs to me
Well I feel so proud
It's as good as walkin' on a cloud
When I'm walkin' walkin' with my angel
Aww, when I'm walkin' walkin' with my angel
Yeah, when I'm walkin' walkin' with my angel

Walking The Floor Over You
Walking The Floor Over You
Composer(s): Ernest Tubb
Performer(s): Ernest Tubb;
and various other artists
You left me and you went away
You said that you'd be back in just a day
You've broken your promise and you left me all alone
I don't know why you did dear, but I do know that you're gone
Chorus:
I'm walking the floor over you
I can't sleep a wink that is true
I'm hoping and I'm praying as my heart breaks right in two
Walking the floor over you
Now darling you know I love you well
I love you more than I can ever tell
I thought that you wanted me and always would be mine
But you went and left me here with troubled mind
Chorus
Now someday you may be lonesome too
Walking the floor is good for you
Just keep right on walking and it won't hurt you to cry
Remember that I love you and I will until I die
Chorus

Thousand Miles From Nowhere
Thousand Miles From Nowhere
Composer(s): Dwight Yoakam
Performer(s): Dwight Yoakam; Tim O'Brien; Richard D. Shank
I'm a thousand miles from nowhere
Time don't matter to me
'Cause I'm a thousand miles from nowhere
And there's no place I wanna be
I got heartaches in my pocket
I got echoes in my head
And all that I keep hearing
Are the cruel, cruel things that you said
I'm a thousand miles from nowhere
Time don't matter to me
'Cause I'm a thousand miles from nowhere
And there's no place I wanna be
Oh I, oh I, oh I------I, I---I...
I've got bruises on my memories
I've got tearstains on my hands
And in the mirror there's a vision
Of what used to be a man
I'm a thousand miles from nowhere
Time don't matter to me
'Cause I'm a thousand miles from nowhere
And there's no place I wanna be
I'm a thousand miles from nowhere
Time don't matter to me
'Cause I'm a thousand miles from nowhere
And there's no place I wanna be

Walking On Velvet Green
Walking On Velvet Green
Performer(s): Jethro Tull
Walking on Velvet Green
Scotch pine growing
Isn't it rare to be taking the air?
Sitting
Walking on Velvet Green
Walking on Velvet Green
Distant cows lowing
Never a care
With your legs in the air
Loving
Walking on Velvet Green
Won't you have my company
Yes, take it in your hands
Go down on Velvet Green with a country man
Who's a young girl's fancy and an old maid's dream
Tell your mother that you walked all night on Velvet Green
One dusky half-hour's ride up to the north
There lies your reputation and all that you're worth
Where the scent of wild roses turns the milk to cream
Tell your mother that you walked all night on Velvet Green
And the long grass blows in the evening cool
And August's rare delights may be April's fool
But think not of that my love
I'm tight against the seam
And I'm growing up to meet you down on Velvet Green
Now let me tell you that it's love and not just lust
And if we live the lie let's lie in trust
On golden daffodils to catch the silver stream
That washes out the wild oat seed on Velvet Green
We'll dream as lovers under the stars
But civilization's raging afar
And the ragged dawn breaks on your battle scars
As you walk home cold and alone upon Velvet Green
Walking on Velvet Green
Scotch pine growing
Isn't it rare to be taking the air?
Sitting
Walking on Velvet Green
Walking on Velvet Green
Distant cows lowing
Never a care
With your legs in the air
Loving
Walking on Velvet Green

You're a thousand miles away-ay
Bu-u-t I still have your love to remember you by
Oh, my dar-ar-ar-arling, dry your eyes
Daddy's coming home soon
On my knees every day-ay
All I do is pray, baby, just for you
Hope you a-a-a-always want me too
Daddy's coming home soon
It may be on a Sunday morning
It may be on a Tuesday afternoon
But no matter what the day is
I'm going to make it my business to get home soon
You're (a thousand miles away)
Bu-u-ut I still have your love to remember you by
Oh, my dar-ar-ar-arling, dry your eyes
Daddy's coming ho-ome so-oo-oo-oo-oon

Walking On Thin Ice
Walking On Thin Ice
Composer(s): Yoko Ono
Performer(s): Yoko Ono;
and various other artists
Walking on thin ice
I'm paying the price
For throwing the dice in the air
Why must we learn it the hard way
And play the game of life with your heart
I gave you my knife
You gave me my life
Like a gush of wind in my hair
Why do we forget what's been said
And play the game of life with our hearts
I may cry some day
But the tears will dry whichever way
And when our hearts return to ashes
It'll be just a story
It'll be just a story
"I knew a girl
Who tried to walk across the lake
'Course it was winter and all this was ice
That's a hell of a thing to do, you know
They say this lake is as big as the Ocean
I wonder if she knew about it?"

A Thousand Kisses Deep
A Thousand Kisses Deep
Composer(s): Sharon Terea Robinson - Leonard Cohen
First release by: Leonard Cohen - 2001
Covered by multiple other artists
The ponies run, the girls are young
The odds are there to beat
You win a while and then it’s done
Your little winning streak
And summoned now to deal
With your invincible defeat
You live your life as if it’s real
A Thousand Kisses Deep
I’m turning tricks, I’m getting fixed
I’m back on Boogie Street
You lose your grip, and then you slip
Into the Masterpiece
And maybe I had miles to drive
And promises to keep
You ditch it all to stay alive
A Thousand Kisses Deep
And sometimes when the night is slow
The wretched and the meek
We gather up our hearts and go
A Thousand Kisses Deep
Confined to sex, we pressed against
The limits of the sea
I saw there were no oceans left
For scavengers like me
I made it to the forward deck
I blessed our remnant fleet
And then consented to be wrecked
A Thousand Kisses Deep
I’m turning tricks, I’m getting fixed
I’m back on Boogie Street
I guess they won’t exchange the gifts
That you were meant to keep
And quiet is the thought of you
The file on you complete
Except what we forgot to do
A Thousand Kisses Deep
And sometimes when the night is slow
The wretched and the meek
We gather up our hearts and go
A Thousand Kisses Deep
The ponies run, the girls are young
The odds are there to beat…

Walking On The Milky Way
Walking On The Milky Way
Composer(s): Nigel Ippinson; Andy McCluskey; Keith Small
Performer(s): Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark
When I was only 17
My head was full of brilliant dreams
My heart would call and I would gladly go
At 21 the world was mine
And I was yours and your divine
And nothing else would matter to a soul
I don't believe in destiny
I don't believe in love
I don't believe that anything will ever be enough
(Chorus)
Oh, man you should have seen us
On the way to Venus
Walking on the Milky Way
It was quite a day
Walking on the big stuff
Acting like we're real tough
Baby we were on our way
So what you say
As time goes by reality
Destroys your hope and dignity
There's nothing left but shadows on the wall
But just remember who you are
And where you've been you've come so far
And never ever let them see you fall
I don't believe in miracles
I don't believe in truth
I don't believe that anything can recreate your youth
Chorus
Walking on the Milky Way
Chorus (repeat twice)

A Thousand Clowns
A Thousand Clowns
Composer(s): Judy Holliday - Gerry Mulligan
A thousand clowns I'll bring you
Just to make you laugh
A blue baboon
And a red raccoon
A lavender giraffe
A thousand stars I'll string you
To weave into a crown
And pale perfume
From a rose's bloom
And a peacock-feather coat
A thousand songs I'll sing you
To help you with your dreams
Of rainbow's ends
And loving friends
And sparkling silver streams
A thousand years I'll love you
Our love will never die
And when a thousand years from now
They're looking at the sky
They'll see two stars together
As close as they could be
One star will be you my love
The other will be me

Walking On Sunset
Walking On Sunset
Composer(s): John Mayall; Mick Taylor
Performer(s): John Mayall;
John Slaughter Blues Band
Watching all the people like the waves along the shore
They hang around he whiskey and every open store
Chorus
I'm walking on sunset
And I'll never reach the end
I'm walking on sunset
Everything is like a friend
All the pretty women, never seen a better crop
Music all around, the flashing lights will never stop
Standing at the corner watching every kind of car
Friendly people come and say they wanna see your star
The cops were in the car but they never bothered me
A new magic world - I never felt so free

A Thought In My Heart
A Thought In My Heart
Composer(s): Robert F. Calder
Performer(s): Jo Stafford; Gordon MacRae; Paul Weston
For every beautiful rose that ever grew
I'll keep a thought in my heart for you
For every bird in the sky that ever flew
There'll be a thought in my heart for you
For each star that twinkles far away
And every clock that ticks away the time of day
I'll think of you
For every ripple upon the ocean blue
I'll have a thought in my heart for you
For each star that twinkles far away
And every clock that ticks away the time of day
I'll think of you
For every ripple upon the ocean blue
I'll have a thought in my heart for you
I'll have a thought in my heart for you

Walking My Baby Back Home
Walking My Baby Back Home
Composer(s): Fred E. Ahlert; Harry Richman; Roy Turk
Performer(s): Nat King Cole;
and various other artists
Gee it's great after being out late
Walking my baby back home
Arm in arm over meadow and farm
Walking my baby back home
We go along harmonizing a song
Or I’m reciting a poem
Hours go by and they give me the eye
Walking my baby back home
We stop for a while, she gives me a smile
And snuggles her head to my chest
We start in to pet, and that’s when I get
Her powder all over my vest
After I kind of straighten my tie
She has to borrow my comb
One kiss then we continue again
Walking my baby back home
She’s afraid of the dark
So I had to park outside of her door till it's light
She says if I try to kiss her she’ll cry
I dry her tears all through the night
Hand in hand to a barbeque stand
Right from her doorway we roam
Eat and then it’s a pleasure again
Walking my baby, talking my baby
Loving my baby, I don’t mean maybe
Walking my baby back home

Performer(s): J.J. Cale
Look here we got a thing going on
Never fear we got a thing going on
Ain't nothing to it
Got to get down and do it

Lord, Lord, we got a thing going on
Something in this place
It's on every face
It's catching fever
You just can't leave her
Look here we got a thing going on
Never fear we got a thing going on
What we gonna do
We're gonna roll through
Do it right, keep it light
Lord, Lord, we got a thing going on
Look here we got a thing going on
Never fear we got a thing going on

Walking In Your Shadow
Walking In Your Shadow
Composer(s): David Byron; Paul Newton
Performer(s): Uriah Heep
I'm walking in your shadow
Ever since you went away
And the clock on the wall
Really hasn't very much to say
For you left me bleeding
And left me needing you
In so very many ways
I was trying to attract your mind
But I'm the lonely one
'Cause I had to leave it all behind
Lied and deceiving
Why should I be grieving you
Ride on a golden wave
Set sail for the sun
Make every cloud your slave
Don't be alone
When I get back from trip of the ocean wall
Still walking in your shadow
And still looking for somewhere to hide
If I am worse off
It's all because of you

A Thing Called Love
A Thing Called Love
Composer(s): Jerry Reed
First recording/First release by: Jerry Reed - 1968
Covered by multiple other artists
Six foot six he stood on the ground
Weighed two hundred and thirty-five pounds
But I saw that giant of a man brought down
To his knees by love
He was the kind of man to gamble on luck
Look you in the eye and never back up
But I saw him crying like a little whipped pup
Because of love
Can't see it with your eyes, hold it in your hand
Like the wind it covers our land
Strong enough to rule the heart of any man
This thing called love
It can lift you up, it can put you down
Take your world and turn it all around
Ever since time nothin's ever been found
Stronger than love
Most men are like me, they struggle and doubt
Trouble their minds day in and day out
Too busy with livin' to worry about
A thing called love
But then I see a mother's tenderness
As she holds her young close to her breast
Then I thank my God this world was blessed
With a thing called love
Can't see it with your eyes, hold it in your hand
Like the wind it covers our land
Strong enough to rule the heart of any man
This thing called love
It can lift you up, it can put you down
Take your world and turn it all around
Ever since time nothin's ever been found
Stronger than love
