When I Was Young (Danielle Dax)
When I Was Young
Composer(s): Danielle Dax; David Knight; Steve Reeves
Performer(s): Danielle Dax
When I was young
The sky seemed so tall
Everything shone in the happiest sunlight
For ever
And tunnels of leaves
Made specially for me
Led to a magic place
Where I could hide for a while
And hope filled the air
My treasures were there
When I was young
The Summers were long
Under the beach-huts
My brother and I would be playing
And we would find shells
To put on my sill
Gathering dust
As they lay unattended till Spring
And hope filled the air
My treasures were there
La, la, la, la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la
La, la, la, la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la
When I was young
The wind knew my name
Clouds would make castles
And creatures with faces I'd dream of
The sweet-scented breeze
Was special to me
Kept in a place near my heart
Where I go when I'm sad
And hope filled the air
My treasures were there
La, la, la, la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la
La, la, la, la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la

And I'm gonna keep it
I've got the life
And nobody's gonna take it away
I've got the life

When I Was A Young Boy
When I Was A Young Boy
Composer(s): Chris Youlden
Performer(s): Savoy Brown
When I was a young boy
Advice I would scorn
Now I'm getting a little older
I know I gotta lot to learn
Yesterday's illusions
Are tomorrow's smiles
I look back and laugh
Baby sometimes in a while
And it always seems the same
And who knows what's to blame
If I knew then what I know now
The mistakes I wouldn't have made
But you can't get a sneak preview
Of a what you're gonna go thru
And you have to rely on your body and mind
To save you life from shame
Life's the same but time does change
Respective of your view
You're lookin' for the mystery
But you can't find a clue
Some say a man makes his life
Some say that it's fate
But when you find out what to do
Oh sometimes it's too late
And it always seems the same
And who knows what's to blame
If I knew then what I know now
The mistakes I wouldn't have made
But you can't get a sneak preview
Of a what you're gonna go thru
and you have to rely on your body and mind
To save you life from shame
Life's the same but time does change
Respective of your view
You're lookin' for the mystery
Oh you can't find a clue
Some say a man makes his life
Some say that it's fate
But when you find out what to do
Oh sometimes it's too late

Ain't Got Not Money
Ain't Got Not Money
Composer(s): Frankie Miller
Performer(s): Bob Seger & the Silver Bullet Band
Well I'm looking for a woman
About five foot six
Who ain't into glamour
She's just into kicks
Just a sweet fashion lady
Stepping dynamite
Who's gonna take me for granted
In the heat of the night
Come on baby
Don't run away
Look here in my face
Be it night or day
I ain't got no money
But I sure got a whole lotta love
Well I'm walking down the street
And my heart's feeling heavy
Swaying with the beat
'Cause I'm more than just ready
She's looking at me
I can feel it in my bones
Step right on up
And I'll be taking you home
Don't turn away
Look here in my face
Be it night or day
I ain't got no money
But I sure got a whole lot of love
A whole lot of love
Well I'm looking for a woman
Who's looking for a man
Who's looking for a time
Like she ain't ever had
Just a sweet fashion lady
Stepping dynamite
Who's gonna take me for granted
In the heat of the night
Come on baby don't run away
Look here in my face
Be it night or day
I ain't got no money
But I sure got a whole lotta love

When I Was A Boy I Watched The Wolves
When I Was A Boy I Watched The Wolves
Composer(s): Grace Slick; Paul Kantner
Performer(s): Paul Kantner
When I was a boy I watched the wolves
When I was a boy I watched wolfpack
Run, I watched the wolves
till the mornin' sun
And as I grew I soon found the wolfpack grow on me
Laser bright feel the lunar light comin down on me
Moonlight, leave me be, comin down on me
We Roll and we go thru the mountain snow
Wolfpack silver, down to the water
Timber line leader gonna find you
Getcha goin down to the nighttime
No eyes shine on the mind protected
No light shines on the fang neglected
Run with the wolfpack
When I was young and low out here in San Francisco
I could rely on the fire of my friends, now I can
Carry a few and I do when I can we get
By however we can
Me and my friends we roll thru the hills in the nighttime
Me and my friends run into the mornin sunshine
I suppose you could yell at your dog
He'd be barking his face right back
I imagine you calling yourself big fang
Observing you run with the pack
Wolfpack werewolf, gleaming on the hillside
She-wolf dripping come here and find me
Down by the cool clear waterside
Down by the nighttime
Bow to the moon / lean to the morning sun
Feel how clean / when the night when your nite is done
Run with the wolfpack
Get down be bright go back, run with the wolfpack
We have the mountains, we have the town now
Battle cruiser, two tone silver loser
Run with the wolfpack
Run with the wolfpack
Run with the wolfpack

When I Touch You
When I Touch You
Composer(s): Jay Ferguson
Performer(s): Spirit
Often in my dreams
I see the strangest things
I see the mountains rise
I see them touch the skies
When I'm near to you
I feel the same way too
I feel the mountains rise
I feel them touch the skies
I, I won't see you any more
I, I won't see you any
I will not see you any
more....More....More
And when I touch you
I feel the same way too
I feel the mountains rise
I feel them touch the skies
Your love holds all these keys
Why can 't I be free
From thoughts of bitter rage
White lions in their cage
I, I won't see you any more
I, I won't see you any
I will not see you any
more....More....More
When I touch you
When I touch you
Ahaa....Ahaa....
Mmmmm....Mmmmm....
Mmmmm....Mmmmm

Ain't Got No Gal In This Town
Composer(s): Greer - J. Russel Robinson
Performer(s): Cab Calloway
Poor me, I ain't got a gal in this town
All of them turned me down
'Cause I ain't got a gal in this town
Eee-eee-eee...
All yellows and browns
All of them turned me down
'Cause I ain't got a gal in this town
Boo-hoo, you hear my mournful wail
I even looked in jail
For a familiar frail
Oooh-doo, you, you, you got me down
Stop your dragging me 'round
'Cause I ain't got a gal in this town
I've got a million gals in Memphis
I've got a gal way out in Saint Paul
I took my hat and left them flat
'Cause they couldn't kick the gong
Poor me, I ain't got a gal in this town
All of them turned me down
'Cause I ain't got a gal in this town
Eee-eee-eee...
All yellows and browns
All of them turned me down
'Cause I ain't got a gal in this town
Boo-hoo, you hear my mournful wail
I even looked in jail
For a familiar frail
Oooh-doo, you, you, you got me down
Stop your dragging me 'round
'Cause I ain't got a gal in this town

When I Take My Sugar To Tea
When I Take My Sugar To Tea
Composer(s): Sammy Fain; Irving Kahal; Pierre Norman Connor
Performer(s): Leon Redbone
I'm just a little "Jackie Horner"
since I met my sugar cane
That gang of mine has been revealin'
that they're feelin' sore
I left the lamp light on the corner
for the moon in lover's lane
I'm doing things I never did before
When I take my sugar to tea, all the
boys are jealous of me, 'cause I
never take her where the gang goes
When I take my sugar to tea
I'm a rowdy dowdy, that's me
She's a high hat baby, that's she
So I never take her where the gang goes
When I take my sugar to tea
Ev'ry Sunday afternoon
we forget about our cares
rubbing elbows at the Ritz
with those millionaires
When I take my sugar to tea
I'm as Ritzy as can be
'cause I never take her where the gang goes
When I take my sugar to tea

Ain't Gonna Lie
Ain't Gonna Lie
Composer(s): George Fischoff - Tony Powers
Performer(s): Keith; David Garrick
Ain't gonna lie
That's one thing
You and I could never see
So as we kiss goodbye
If I cry don't let these
Tears I shed today
Hold you back in any way
He's waiting for your smile so hurry
I'll be fine now don't you worry
Ain't gonna lie
If you say he's the guy
I won't stand in your way
Though it hurts me today
I'll get by
And I ain't gonna lie
Ain't gonna lie
Baby don't cry
Though my heart is breaking
I'm glad that you
Told the truth
Instead of some
Pack of lies
To us a lie's the only sin
At least we'll end the way we've been
By being truthful to each other
Girl I hope I find another
Ain't gonna lie
I'll be out by and by
Maybe I'll never meet
Anyone half as sweet
But I'll try
And I ain't gonna lie
To us a lie is the only sin
At least we'll end the way we've been
By being truthful to each other
Girl I hope I find another
Ain't gonna lie
Maybe I'll never meet
Anyone half as sweet
But I'll try
And I ain't gonna lie
I ain't gonna lie
No I ain't gonna lie...

When I Take My Morning Promenade
When I Take My Morning Promenade
Composer(s): A.J. Mills; Bennett Scott
Performer(s): Marie Lloyd; Patricia Rowlands
Since Mother Eve in the Garden long ago
Started the fashion, fashion's been a passion
Eve wore a costume we might describe as brief
Still every season brought its change of leaf
She'd stare if she could come to town
Oh! what would Mother Eve think of my new Parisian gown?
When I take my morning promenade
Quite a fashion card, on the Promenade
Oh! I don't mind nice boys staring hard
If it satisfies their desire
Do you think my dress is a little bit
Just a little bit.....
Well not too much of it
Though it shows my shape just a little bit
That's the little bit the boys admire
Fancy the girls in the prehistoric days
Each wore a bearskin covering her fair skin
Lately Salome has charmed us to be sure
Wearing some rows of beads and not much more
Fancy my dressing like that, too
The 'Daily Mirror' man would surely want an interview
When I take my morning promenade
Quite a fashion card, on the Promenade
Oh! I don't mind nice boys staring hard
If it satisfies their desire
Do you think my dress is a little bit
Just a little bit.....
Well not too much of it
Though it shows my shape just a little bit
That's the little bit the boys admire
I've heard my Grandmother wore the crinoline
Then came the bussle
Oh! it was a tussle
Women were tied up and loaded up with dress
Now, fashion plates decree we must wear less
Each year our costume grows more brief
I wonder when we'll get back to the good old fashioned leaf?
When I take my morning promenade
Quite a fashion card, on the Promenade
Oh! I don't mind nice boys staring hard
If it satisfies their desire
Do you think my dress is a little bit
Just a little bit.....
Well not too much of it
Though it shows my shape just a little bit
That's the little bit the boys admire

Ain't a-gonna grieve no more, no more
Ain't a-gonna grieve no more, no more
And ain't a-gonna grieve no more
Brown and blue and white and black
All one color on the one-way track
We got this far and ain't a-goin' back
And ain't a-gonna grieve no more
Well, I ain't a-gonna grieve no more, no more
Ain't a-gonna grieve no more, no more
Ain't a-gonna grieve no more, no more
I ain't a-gonna grieve no more
We're gonna notify your next of kin
You're gonna raise the roof until the house falls in
If you get knocked down get up again
We ain't a-gonna grieve no more
Well, I ain't a-gonna grieve no more, no more
Ain't a-gonna grieve no more, no more
Ain't a-gonna grieve no more, no more
I ain't a-gonna grieve no more
We'll sing this song all night long
Sing it to my baby from midnight on
She'll sing it to you when I'm dead and gone
Ain't a-gonna grieve no more
Well, I ain't a-gonna grieve no more, no more
Ain't a-gonna grieve no more, no more
Ain't a-gonna grieve no more, no more
I ain't a-gonna grieve no more

When I stop loving you, baby
That'll be the day
That'll be the day
When I stop loving you, baby
That'll be the day

The day the world stops going 'round
And today my heartbeat starts to pound
When I stop loving you, baby

When you stop loving me, baby

When you stop loving me, baby
That'll be the day
The day my heart would ache and break
The day there'd be no wedding cake
When you stop loving me, baby
That'll be the day
That'll be the day
Yes, I'll stop loving you
I'll say that we're through
When earth and skies disappear
But just as long as there's an earth
And as long as there's a sky
I'll always love you dear
If you should say goodbye, baby
That'll be the day
That'll be the day
If you should say goodbye, baby
That'll be the day
That'll be the day
The day that tear drops from my eyes
It fell like raindrops from the skies
If you should say goodbye, baby
That'll be the day
That'll be the day
Yes, I'll stop loving you
I'll say that we're through
When earth and skies disappear
But just as long as there's an earth
And as long as there's a sky
I'll always love you dear
If you should say goodbye, baby
That'll be the day
That'll be the day
If you should say goodbye, baby
That'll be the day

The day that tear drops from my eyes
It fell like raindrops from the skies
If you should say goodbye, baby

Ain't Gonna Cry No More
Ain't Gonna Cry No More
Composer(s): David Coverdale - Micky Moody
Performer(s): Whitesnake; The Company of Snakes; M3
Rising with the morning sun
I turn to greet the dawn
Knowing I must face another day
Sleepless night behind me
Just a memory of pain
My heart has always
been a cross to bear
Lord I know the sunshine
But, I feel the tears of rain
Falling down to wash my sins away
I'll try, hard to remember
So I won't be fooled again
Hey, ain't gonna cry no more today
All around me, shadows fall
Tho' day has just begun
I realise I'm on my own again
Memories of broken dreams
As distant as the sun
Are drifting like an echo in the wind
Lord, I know the sunshine
But, I feel the tears of rain
Falling down to wash my sins away
I'll try, hard to remember
So I won't be fooled again
Hey, ain't gonna cry no more today
Babe, I thought about it
But, it just ain't done good
You hold my heart and
soul within your hand
All the time, you're in my mind
I never thought you could be so blind
Maybe someday I will understand
Lord, I know the sun shine
But I feel the tears of rain
Falling down to wash my sins away
I'll try hard to remember
So I won't be fooled again
Hey, ain't gonna cry no more today, no more
Hey, mama you drive me crazy
Knowing you're my heart's desire
Why'd you go and hang me up this way
You've given me love, given me love
Now tell me what you were thinking of
Why'd you go and steal my soul away
Lord I know the sunshine
But, I feel the tears of rain
Falling down to wash my sins away
I'll try hard to remember
So I won't be fooled again
Hey, ain't gonna cry no more today
I ain't gonna cry no more
Lord I know the sunshine
But, I feel the tears of rain
Falling down to wash my sins away
I'll try hard to remember
So I won't be fooled again
Hey, ain't gonna cry no more today
Ain't gonna cry no more
Hey, I ain't gonna cry no more today...

When I Stop Dreaming
When I Stop Dreaming
Composer(s): Ira Louvin; Charlie Louvin
Performer(s): Emmylou Harris;
and various other artists
The worst that I've ever been hurt
In my life
The first time I ever have
Wanted to die
Was the night when you told me
You loved someone new
And you asked me if I could forget
When I stop dreaming
That's when I'll stop loving you
You may teach the flowers
To bloom in the snow
You may take a pebble
And teach it to grow
You may teach all the raindrops
To return to the clouds
But you can't teach my heart
To forget
