Where In The World (Dick Haymes)
Where In The World
Composer(s): Buddy Kaye; Carl Lampl
Performer(s): Dick Haymes
Where in the world will I find you
Where in the world, I wish I knew
Though I'm not near you, I hear you so well
Though I can't see you, to me
You are magic things that weave a spell
Did you just go by and say a word
Was it a sigh or breeze I heard
I'd go from here to right clear to a star
Anywhere in the world
To be where you are
Did you just go by and say a word
Was it a sigh or breeze I heard
I'd go from here to right clear to a star
Anywhere in the world
To be where you are

Barges
Barges
Composer(s): Ralph McTell
Performer(s): Ralph McTell
Me and my brother returned to the water
I saw a pike that was two feet long
Two small magicians, each with a jam jar
Cast spells on the water with hazel twig wands
Country boys catch tadpoles, dive into water
Made shy by their laughter, we wandered down stream
And summer rolled o'er us with no complications
'Cept thinking of Mama sometimes in dreams
Stand by the drawbridge, waiting for barges
Waiting around for smiles from the man
Lifting the bridge whilst watching the horses
Dragging the slow boats up the canal
I do remember the times but no number
After the day, but before evening comes
Waiting for castles and kettles with roses
Painted on barges that sailed into the sun
Oh, see the river run, that was by man begun
Open the locks, let the boats sail on,
Taking their castles and kettles with roses
With summers of childhood leaving smiles on the man

Where I Ought To Be
Where I Ought To Be
Composer(s): Harlan Howard
Performer(s): Skeeter Davis
I got your wedding invitation
I'm surprised you thought of me
But I don't believe your wedding
Is just where I ought to be
For you put your arms around her
Kissed her lips so tenderly
As she's standing there beside you
That's just where I ought to be
Like a fool I introduced you
I said, "Baby, meet my friend"
Never thought that I could lose you
But I lost you there and then
I took the diamond ring you gave me
Threw it way out in the sea
And I had an awful feeling
That's just where I ought to be
Da da da de de dee da...
Like a fool I introduced you
I said, "Baby, meet my friend"
Never thought that I could lose you
But I lost you there and then
I took the diamond ring you gave me
Threw it way out in the sea
And I had an awful feeling
That's just where I ought to be

Where I Am Going
Where I Am Going
Composer(s): Jimmy Webb
Performer(s): Glen Campbell
Feel like I'm coming out of the storm
Watching dark clouds drift away
Saying goodbye to all the pain I used to know
It's time to let it go
Just can't seem to make myself conform
To what the world wants me to be
But the difference doesn't hurt me anymore
I know they'll welcome me
Where I am going there will be no compromise
No tears will come to cloud my eyes
Where I am going
And all the precious world I've had to sacrifice
Will be given to me twice
Because He paid the price
And it's worth it all just knowing
Where I am going
Do you want to go riding with me
To a place that lasts forevermore
Please don't think that you are one among the few
I'm different just like you
Where I am going there will be no alibis
No might-have-beens or sacrifice
Where I am going
And all the questions still unanswered in my mind
Lord, I'll leave 'em all behind
I'll only find the answers
I'll only keep on going (Keep on going)
Where I'm going
(Where I am going) There will be no compromise
No tears will come to cloud my eyes
Where I am going
And all the precious world I've had to sacrifice
Will be given to me twice
Because He paid the price
And it's worth it all just knowing
Where I am going
(Where I am going there will be no alibis)
Where I am going
(Where I am going)
(And all the precious .......)

Where Have We Met Before?
Where Have We Met Before?
Composer(s): E.Y. Harburg; Vernon Duke
Performer(s): Victor Young
Where have we met before
Do you remember me
My heart keeps saying
"You're someone I know"
Where have we met before
Is this the mystery
That started
Ages and ages ago
Wasn't knighthood in flower
When I saw you somewhere
In a Babylon Tower
Or, perhaps, Berkeley Square
Where have we met before
Fate told me instantly
That you'd come back once more
Destined for me

Alexander The Medium
Alexander The Medium
Composer(s): Paul Kantner
Performer(s): Jefferson Airplane
When the time does come near again
When the day does seem clear again
Make it in the night time
The dreams ands in the light time
All of you come away
Just a bow shot away
Let me tell you 'bout a story now
A tale of glory and power
And I don't even know your name
But I thought I'd tell you all about it just the same
We are all creatures of fame, lightness and liberty
In the times of the olden times
Of ancient ladies and maritime splendor
Priests of Karnak and Thebes
Could walk through the ocean and the seas
When the pyramid she would sigh
The waters streamed from the sky
The ocean you know is your firend
Your brother and sister just as sure as sin
Put your hands in the water
Rest your feet on the sea
You don't have to let your body die
You can come back again if you try, if you try
This song was made then by you and me
A billion years before these oceans rolled
Oh I can see you burning brightly
You shine like silver like sun gold
And a hundred years from today
All you people will be gone away
Down into the heart of the sea
Bak to the time of wonderwhy you and me
And I don't even know your name
But I thought I'd tell you all about it just the same
If you laugh real hard you win the game - hands down
Before old Alexander 'twas just the same as now
Can you smell the blood of fame, lightness and liberty?

Composer(s): Wayne Barrett; Michael J. Rossi
Performer(s): Slaughter & The Dogs;
Adolf & the Piss Artists
Wearing boots and short hair cuts
We will kick you in the gut
But no luck they've all grown up
They drink tea from a cup
Some get married and settle down
Others they leave for a foreign town
Fighting gangs every night
We use sticks hit 'em in the Kite
(Chorus)
Where have all the boot boys gone?
Hammy, Jacko, Boots and John
Where have all the boot boys gone?
It looks like I'm the only one
The one !!!!!
Friday came we go to a dance hall
Battering stuff we have a ball
We don't know what we've done
We go see United coz we're having fun
We get released on 50 quid bail
But I know I'll end up in jail
I was a leader I was so proud
I hung with a gang, what a crowd
(Chorus)
Now it's been five years or more
I'm a skin don't know what for
I don't know what I am
I don't see or give a damn
I must stop this M.O.D
I must try, try and be me
I must listen
I must try.
I must move
Move or die!
(Chorus)
C'mon
Do ya wanna scrap?
Get Ready then
Where have all the boot boys gone?

Alexander The Great
Alexander The Great
Composer(s): Steve Harris
Performer(s): Iron Maiden; Eleventh Hour
My son, ask for thyself another kingdom
For that which I leave is to small for thee
Near to the East, in a part of ancient Greece
In an ancient land called Macedonia
Was born a son to Philip of Macedon
The legend his name was Alexander
At the age of nineteen, he became the Macedon king
And swore to free all of Asia Minor
By the Aegian Sea in 334 BC
He utterly beat the armies of Persia
Alexander the Great
His name struck fear into hearts of men
Alexander the Great
Became a legend 'mongst mortal men
King Darius the third, Defeated fled Persia
The Scythians fell by the river Jaxartes
Then Egypt fell to the Macedon king as well
And he founded the city called Alexandria
By the Tigris river, he met King Darius again
And crushed him again in the battle of Arbela
Entering Babylon and Susa, treasures he found
Took Persepolis, the capital of Persia
Alexander the Great
His name struck fear into hearts of men
Alexander the Great
Became a god amongst mortal men
A Phrygian King had bound a chariot yoke
And Alexander cut the "Gordion knot"
And legend said that who untied the knot
He would become the master of Asia
Helonism he spread far and wide
The Macedonian learned mind
Their culture was a western way of life
He paved the way for Christianity
Marching on, Marching on
The battle weary marching side by side
Alexander's army line by line
They wouldn't follow him to India
Tired of the combat, pain and the glory
Alexander the Great
His name struck fear into hearts of men
Alexander the Great
He died of fever in Babylon

Where Do You Go To (My Lovely)?
Where Do You Go To (My Lovely)?
Composer(s): Peter Sarstedt
Performer(s): Peter Sarstedt
You talk like Marlene Dietrich
And you dance like Zizi Jeanmaire
Your clothes are all made by Balmain
And there's diamonds and pearls in your hair, yes there are
You live in a fancy apartment
Off the Boulevard Saint-Michel
Where you keep your Rolling Stones records
And a friend of Sacha Distel, yes you do
But where do you go to my lovely
When you're alone in your bed
Tell me the thoughts that surround you
I want to look inside your head, yes I do
I've seen all your qualifications
You got from the Sorbonne
And the painting you stole from Picasso
Your loveliness goes on and on, yes it does
When you go on your summer vacation
You go to Juan-les-Pins
With your carefully designed topless swimsuit
You get an even suntan on your back and on your legs
And when the snow falls you're found in Saint Moritz
With the others of the jet-set
And you sip your Napoleon brandy
But you never get your lips wet, no you don't
But where do you go to my lovely
When you're alone in your bed
Won't you tell me the thoughts that surround you
I want to look inside your head, yes I do
Your name, it is heard in high places
You know the Aga Khan
He sent you a racehorse for Christmas
And you keep it just for fun, for a laugh a-ha-ha-ha
They say that when you get married
It'll be to a millionaire
But they don't realize where you came from
And I wonder if they really care, or give a damn
Where do you go to my lovely
When you're alone in your bed
Tell me the thoughts that surround you
I want to look inside your head, yes I do
I remember the back streets of Naples
Two children begging in rags
Both touched with a burning ambition
To shake off their lowly-born tags, so they try
So look into my face Marie-Claire
And remember just who you are
Then go and forget me forever
But I know you still bear the scar, deep inside, yes you do
I know where you go to my lovely
When you're alone in your bed
I know the thoughts that surround you
'Cause I can look inside your head
(na na-na-na na na-na-na na-na na na na na)

Alexander Graham Bell
Composer(s): Mike Chapman - Nicky Chinn
Performer(s): Sweet
A candle flickers in a window
Two thousand miles away she waits there
There's a young man thinking by a window
How was she to know just how much he cared
He always knew just what he could do
He always knew that his dream would come true
Alexander Graham Bell, well, he knew darned well
That he could find the only way to talk across the USA
Telephone, telephone, never be on your own
Many, many years ago
He started something with his first "Hello, hello"
Alexander Graham Bell
Alexander Graham Bell
Alexander Graham, Alexander Graham
Alexander Graham Bell
The sun rises early in the morning
Millions of people still unaware
Of something he discovered without warning
So he could show a girl just how much he cared
He always knew just what he could do
He always knew that his dream would come true
Alexander Graham Bell, well, he knew darned well
That he could find the only way to talk across the USA
Telephone, telephone, never be on your own
Many, many years ago
He started something with his first "Hello, hello"
Alexander Graham Bell
Alexander Graham Bell
Alexander Graham Bell, well, he knew darned well
That he could find the only way to talk across the USA
Telephone, telephone, never be on your own
Many, many years ago
He started something with his first "Hello, hello"
Alexander Graham Bell, well, he knew darned well
That he could find the only way to talk across the USA
Telephone, telephone, never be on your own
Many, many years ago
He started something with his first "Hello, hello"

Where Do You Go From Here
Where Do You Go From Here
Composer(s): Sammy King
Performer(s): Houghton Weavers
Arthur Edward Pickersgill
Workin' 'ard at mill
Sorting out the bales
The ones to empty and to fill
It's Sat'day night, he's rushing home
To check his football pools
While Chelsea won and let him down
And so did Hartlepools
So off at dawn on Monday morn
Working for his rent
Money's hard to come by
And half's already spent
'Cause Billy wants a pair of shoes
And Tilly wants a dress
And Freda wants some curling pins
She says her hair's a mess
And so, where do you go from here
Where in life do you belong
You've work so hard throughout your life
To make your country great
And now it runs away from you
Leaving you behind and out of date
Every week your Sunday joint's
No bigger than your thumb
With eight of us to share it
And that's not including Mum
But first you've got to find it
And the kids are lookin' out
It's there, Dad, in the processed peas
Behind that Brussels sprout
And Freda's getting married soon
You'll 'ave to pay for do
Invitin' all the folks we know
Will cost a bob or two
And after all the toastin'
And the speeches and the gags
It's back to working overtime
And rolling your own fags
And so, where do you go from here
Where in life do you belong
You fought for King and Country
And your comrades in the war
And is it any different now
You're fighting to exist just like before
And so, where do you go from here
Life's inclined to hurry by
Your clogs went out with ration books
But still you carry on, forever if you can
'Cause you're the kind of man who can't
Afford to die

Alexander Beetle
Alexander Beetle
Composer(s): A.A. Milne - Melanie Safka
Performer(s): Melanie Safka
I had a little beetle
So that beetle was his name
And I called him Alexander
And he answered just the same
And I put him in a matchbox
And I kept him all the day
But nanny let my beetle out
Yes nanny let my beetle out
She went and let my beetle out
And beetle ran away
She said she didn't mean it
And I never said she did
She said she wanted matches
And she just took off the lid
She said I mustn't worry
And I really mustn't mind
That there's lots and lots of beetles
The she's certain we could find
She said I mustn't worry
But it's difficult to catch
An excited sort of beetle
You've mistaken for a match
If we looked in all the places
That a beetle might be near
And we made the kind of noises
That a beetle likes to hear
And I heard a kind of something
And I gave a sort of shout
It was a beetle house
And Alexander beetle coming out
It was Alexander beetle
I'm as certain as can be
And he had that kind of look as though
He thought it might be me
And he had that kind of look as though
He thought he ought to say
"I'm really very sorry that I tried to run away"
And nanny's very sorry too
Cause you know what she did
And she's writing Alexander
Very blackly on the lid
So nan and me are friends because
It's difficult to catch
An excited Alexander
You've misstaken for a match

Where do you come from
Tell me who you are
Do you come from another world
Or from some distant star
Where do you come from
Are you what you seem
Are you real, are you standing there
Or is it just a dream
Tell me more about yourself
Do you feel the way I feel
Are you just a vision,
Or are you really real
Where do you come from
Angel won't you say
Tell me all that there is to know
And tell me that you'll stay

Alex Chilton
Alex Chilton
Composer(s): Paul Westerberg - Chris Mars - Tommy Stinson
First release by: The Replacements - 1987
If he was from Venus, would he feed us with a spoon?
If he was from Mars, wouldn't that be cool?
Standing right on campus, would he stamp us in a file?
Hangin' down in Memphis all the while
Children by the million sing for Alex Chilton when he comes 'round
They sing "I'm in love
What's that song?
I'm in love with that song"
Cerebral rape and pillage in a village of his choice
Invisible man who can sing in a visible voice
Feeling like a hundred bucks, exchanging good lucks face to face
Checkin' his stash by the trash at St. Mark's place
Children by the million sing for Alex Chilton when he comes 'round
They sing "I'm in love
What's that song?
I'm in love with that song"
I never travel far, without a little Big Star
Runnin' 'round the house, Mickey Mouse and the Tarot cards
Falling asleep with a flop pop video on
If he was from Venus, would he meet us on the moon?
If he died in Memphis, then that'd be cool, babe
Children by the million sing for Alex Chilton when he comes 'round
They sing "I'm in love
What's that song?
I'm in love with that song"
