We Just Disagree
We Just Disagree
Composer(s): Jim Krueger
Performer(s): Dave Mason;
and various other artists
Been away, haven't seen you in a while
How've you been?, have you changed your style?
And do you think that we've grown up differently?
Don't seem the same, seems you've lost your feel for me
Chorus
So let's leave it alone 'cause we can't see eye-to-eye
There ain't no good guys, there ain't no bad guys
There's only you and me and we just disagree
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Oh, oh, oh
I'm goin' back to a place that's far away, how 'bout you?
Have you got a place to stay? Why should I care?
When I'm just tryin' to get along, we were friends
But now it's "depend upon a love song"
Chorus x2
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

Above And Beyond
Above And Beyond
Composer(s): Maurice Gibb - Barry Gibb - Robin Gibb
Performer(s): Bee Gees
Woman in a million to me
I never loved so much
Is it any wonder I'm alive
No one ever knows what makes a
Virtue or a vice
Let it be the spell I'm under
(These naked eyes)
Let it be the rain and thunder comes
I go above and beyond the sun
Some love never dies
Story of our lives, ohh,
Swear by the stars above
And late at night I pray to myself
That you and I got everything we need
I'd give it all for you and me
Love is the earth and the wind
And the fire and the soul
Love is above and beyond any eye to behold
Love is the key and the cause
And it's makin' us whole
Made me a little crazy, but I
Soon realize my fate
Every little touch I'm paralyzed
No one ever know what makes
An angel in disguise
Let me be the one to taste you
Those naked eyes
No pity if the city ever crumbles down
I go above and beyond the sun
Some love never dies
Story of our lives, ohh
Swear by the stars above
And late at night I pray to myself
That you and I got everything we need
I'd give it all for you and me
Love is the earth and the wind
And the fire and we share
Love is the force and the edge
And it's ready for those who dare
Love is above and beyond
And I'm taking you there
(And baby, I'll take you there)
I go above and beyond the sun
Some love never dies
Story of our lives, ohh
Swear by the stars above
And late at night I pray to myself
That you and I got everything we need
I'd give it all for you and me
Love is the earth and the wind
And the fire and the soul
Love is the key and the cause
And it's makin' us whole
Love is the force and the edge
And it's yours if you dare
Love is above and beyond
And I'm taking you there
(Baby, I'll take you there)
I go above and beyond the sun
Some love never dies
Story of our lives, ohh
Swear by the stars above
And late at night I pray to myself
That you and I got everything we need
I'd give it all for you and me

We Just Couldn't Say Goodbye
We Just Couldn't Say Goodbye
Composer(s): Harry Woods
Performer(s): Guy Lombardo;
and various other artists
We thought that love was over
That we were really through
I said I didn't love him
That we'd begin anew
And you can all believe me
We sure intended to
But we just couldn't say goodbye
The chair and then the sofa
They broke right down and cried
The curtains started waving
For me to come inside
I tell you confidentially
The tears were hard to hide
And we just couldn't say goodbye
The clock was striking twelve o'clock
It smiled on us below
With folded hands it seemed to say
"We'll miss you if you go"
So I went back and kissed him
And when I looked around
The room was singing love songs
And dancing up and down
And now we're both so happy
Because at last we've found
That we just couldn't say goodbye
People in love are funny
They’re mighty hard to explain
One minute they quarrel
Then they’re back together again
Take my case for instance
We had a little fuss
Now listen, ladies and gentlemen
Here’s what happened to us
I said I didn't love him
That we'd begin anew
But we just couldn’t say goodbye
The chair and then the sofa
They broke right down and cried
I tell you confidentially
The tears were hard to hide
And we just couldn't say goodbye
So I went back and kissed him
And when I looked around
The room was singing love songs
And dancing up and down
And now we're both so happy
Because at last we've found
That we just couldn't say goodbye

Above All
Above All
Composer(s): Lenny LeBlanc - Paul Baloche
Performer(s): Michael W. Smith
Above all powers
Above all things
Above all nature and all created things
Above all wisdom and all the ways of man
You were here before the world began
Above all kingdoms
Above all thrones
Above all wonders the world has ever known
Above all wealth and treasures of the earth
There's no way to measure what You're worth
Crucified
Laid behind the stone
You lived to die
Rejected and alone
Like a rose trampled on the ground
You took the fall
And thought of me
Above all

We Have No Secrets
We Have No Secrets
Composer(s): Carly Simon
Performer(s): Carly Simon
We have no secrets
We tell each other everything
About the lovers in our past
And why they didn't last
We share a cast of characters
From A to Z
We know each other's fantasies
And though we know each other better
When we explore
Sometimes I wish, often I wish
That I never knew
Some of those secrets of yours
The water was cold
The beach was empty but for one
Now you were lying in the sun
Wanting and needing no one
Then some child came
You never asked for her to come
She drank a pint of your rum
And later when you told me
You said she was a bore
Sometimes I wish, oft times I wish
That I never, never knew
Some of those secrets of yours
In the name of honesty,
In the name of what is fair
You always answer my questions
But they don't always answer my prayers
And though I know you say
That it's me that you adore
Sometimes I wish, often I wish
That I never, never, never knew
Some of those secrets of yours
Some of those secrets of yours
Some of those secrets of yours
We have no secrets
Telling each other most everything now

About To Die
About To Die
Composer(s): Keith Reid - Robin Trower
Performer(s): Procol Harum
About to die - the crowds applaud you
About to die - they'll resurrect you
Light a candle up in kingdom come
Light the way for the saviour's son
A candle burning bright enough to tear the city down
About to die - the crowds reward you
About to die - their cheers ignore you
Light a candle up in kingdom come
Light the way for the chosen one
No candle burned with fire enough to tear that city down
About to die - the crowds applaud me
About to die - they'll resurrect me
Light a candle up in kingdom come
Light the way for the saviour's son

We Have A Date
We Have A Date
Composer(s): Al Hoffman; Alexander P. Kaeck; Dick Manning
Performer(s): Andy Williams
We have a date to meet again remember
It's been so wonderful to be with you
Till we meet again please think of me
'Cause I will be thinking of you
We have a date to dream again remember
We have a date to dream all through the night
There's so much more that I have to tell you
Next time I hold you tight
I'll call you every day my darling
And I'll get through the week somehow
Hate to break away my darling
So long for now, so long for now
We have a date to love again remember
It's been so wonderful to be with you
Counting the moments until I see you
That's what my heart and I will do
Counting the moments until I see you
That's what my heart and I will do

About The Weather
About The Weather
Composer(s): Howard Devoto - Dave Formula
Performer(s): Magazine
The weather’s variable - so are you
Changes, changes
But I can’t do a thing about the weather
Do you have your ticket!
Can you foresee
Changes, changes
Another time when we might be together!
You have a broken window
Through which the rain pours in my ear
This week’s been all ears and edges
It’s getting like a career
A chain of events
A change of heart
A chain of events
A change of heart
I will study your change of heart in depth
The weather’s variable ...
Now you’re leaning on a fountain
With the sunshine on your shoes
You dislike the climate but you like the place
I hope you learn to live with what you choose
A chain of events ...
I’m so changeable - it’s so frightening

We Gotta Stop
We Gotta Stop
Composer(s): J. Graffagnino; Eric Franssen
Performer(s): Liliane Saint-Pierre
We gotta stop
Denk er eens over
Voor dat je zegt 'ik hou van jou'
Horen wij wel bij elkander
Ben je zo zeker van je trouw
We gotta stop
Denk er eens over
Voor dat w' elkaar veel pijn gaan doen
Zo dat we eens kunnen zeggen
Het is nog altijd net als toen
Ohohoh, al zo vaak heb ik gezien
Anderen begingen ook die fout
Net als wij waren zij te jong
Na het jawoord kwam het berouw
We gotta stop
Denk er eens over
Voor dat je zegt 'ik hou van jou'
Horen wij wel bij elkander
Ben je zo zeker van je trouw
Ben je zo zeker van je trouw
Ben je zo zeker van je trouw
Ben je zo zeker van je trouw

About Insomnia
About Insomnia
Composer(s): Mark Gane - Martha Ladly
Performer(s): Martha and the Muffins
Waiting for the dawn for a dream
A chance to lie down
That confused imitation of life
Eludes me now
All routes of resistance impaired by your face
Oh fugitive hope will I see you today?
In a tunnel, on a bridge or a viaduct
We'll meet just by chance
And in a moment or maybe just an hour or so
Renew our romance
And if the charms of foreign places call
For changing tableaux
We will auction all our paintings
And our furniture
And take to the road ...
Do you suppose?
The patterns on the wall never change but shadows grow long
Vous n'assassinez de la realité
C'est malheuresement
As daylight disperses the spectres of night
My nocturnal musings don wings
And take flight

We Gotta Get You A Woman
We Gotta Get You A Woman
Composer(s): Todd Rundgren
Performer(s): Todd Rundgren; Joe Walsh
Leroy, boy, is that you?
I thought your post-hangin' days were through
Sunk-in eyes and full of sighs
Tell no lies, you get wise
I tell you now we're gonna pull you through
There's only one thing left that we can do
We gotta get you a woman
It's like nothin' else to make you feel sure you're alive
We gotta get you a woman
We better get walkin', we're wastin' time talkin' now
Leroy, boy, you're my friend
You say how and I'll say when
Come and meet me down the street
Take a seat, it's my treat
You may not ever get this chance again
That empty feeling's just about to end
Talkin' 'bout life and what it means to you
It don't mean nothin' if it don't run through
I got one thing to say, you know it's true
You got to find some time to get this thing together
Talkin' 'bout things about that special one
They may be stupid but they sure are fun
I'll give it to you while we're on the run
Because we ain't got time to get this thing together, 'cause we
Got to get together with a woman who has been around
One who knows better than to let you down
Let's hope there's still one left in this whole town
And that she'll take some time to get this thing together
We gotta get you a woman
And when we're through with you
We'll get me one too

About A Boy
About A Boy
Composer(s): Patti Smith
Performer(s): Patti Smith
Toward another
he has gone
to breathe an air
beyond his own
toward a wisdom
beyond the shelf
toward a dream
that dreams itself
about a boy
beyond it all
about a boy
beyond it all
from the forest
from the foam
from the field
that he had
known
toward a river
twice as blessed
toward the inn
of happiness
about a boy
beyond it all
about a boy
beyond it all
from a chaos
raging sweet
from the deep
and dismal street
toward another
kind of peace
toward the great
emptiness
about a boy
beyond it all
about a boy
beyond it all
I stood among them
I stood alone
boy boy
just a boy
just a little boy
just a little boy
who will never grow

Go-go music really makes us dance
Do the pony puts us in a trance

We got the beat
Yeah

Everybody get on your feet
We know you can dance to the beat
Jumpin'-get down
Round and round and round

Aborigine
Aborigine
Composer(s): Jarvis Cocker - Candida Doyle - Peter Mansell - Russell Senior
Performer(s): Pulp
Starts so slowly, just a place to stay
Somewhere warm where they can spend their days
Air is stagnant and he feels unclean
Hair hangs greasy and he smells obscene
Something's happened and it's not so good
broken bottles in the face of love
Mottled flesh under the harsh strip-light
Nylon sheets to keep them warm at night
Once it's started it can never stop
fills his head with a dark damp fog
In the distance is a constant cry
growing louder as the years go by
Days get longer and he starts to drink
spews his stomach in the kitchen sink
Tells his children they should have respect
Tells his wife that she's a nervous wreck
He hates his wife and he hates them all
He hates his wife and he hates them all
Can't be bothered when it's all the same
leave it long enough, it goes away
In the meantime stomach turns to fat
She tries to tell him but he can't have that
She's only jealous and she's telling lies
Standing naked in his flesh disguise
It took him months to get her into bed
now he's got her he just wants her dead
She wants excitement and she needs romance
all she gets are dirty underpants
Stupid animal that can't know why
something's wrong so someone has to die
The wind is blowing and the rain falls down
Sends his family on a trip down town
Sees them die in a burning wreck
Sees them burn, smokes a cigarette
He hates his wife and he hates them all
He hates his wife and he hates them all
He knows he's finished but he can't stop now
and he wants to end it but he can't see how
and it's all in pieces, thrown it all away
Oh, but he's not ugly, he just looks that way
And he wants some quiet and he needs it now
but the scream he's started's getting far too loud
and he still pretends he does it just for now
His day will come he'll lose it all somehow
Killing time until his ship arrives
been dead ten years but he's still alive
and the time is wasted and the ship has sunk
but he hasn't noticed and he comes home drunk
and he's just dead weight, he'll never leave the ground
He tries to stand but he keeps falling down
and it's hard to know he doesn't count for much
He's not a has-been, just a never-was
Oh he hates his wife and he hates them all
He hates his wife and he hates them all
Hates his wife
Hates them all

We Got Paid By Cash
We Got Paid By Cash
Composer(s): Harold Reid; Don Reid
Performer(s): The Statler Brothers
It started March of sixty-four, many years ago
We were hired by Johnny Cash to open up his show
Four boys, a worn out Cadillac with a road map on the dash
For the next eight and one half years, we got paid by Cash
He took us down to Nashville to Columbia studio
Not knowing where we came from, they told us where to go
But Johnny said "I like 'em! Don't you give them no trash"
You see we were Johnny's little boys and we got paid by Cash
We were there when June became Johnny's lovin' bride
And we sang to him that mornin' our buddy Luther died
And we were there when the son was born that filled them both with pride
And we were there when John remembered God was on his side
We watched him on the concert stage, we watched him write his songs
And saw the things we had to do and the things that could go wrong
And if we had to start again we'd do it in a flash
'Cause we learned more than we earned when we got paid by Cash
Then came the time when our career demanded that we go
And through some tears we all shook hands that last and final show
All those years we never had a contract or a clash
Whatever we may be today we owe it all to Cash
We were there when June became Johnny's lovin' bride
And we sang to him that mornin' our buddy Luther died
And we were there when the son was born that filled them both with pride
And we were there when John remembered God was on his side
Now John will tell you there were years when times were good and bad
But we can tell you they were some of the best we ever had
Carl Perkins, and the Carters, and the Tennessee Three
We were one big happy family and would have done it all for free
don don don don don don ... don don ...
