Where Were You When I Needed You
Where Were You When I Needed You
Composer(s): Steve Barri; P.F. Sloan
Performer(s): The Grass Roots;
and various other artists
Don't bother crying
Don't bother calling
It's all over now
There's no use in stalling
The love I once felt
I don't feel anymore for you
This time I'll even open the door for you
You walked out when I was down
Well now I'm well off
And look, look whose comin' round
Where were you when I needed you
Where were you when I wanted you
Where were you when I need you
Where
You're looking good, it's hard to fight it
But no use explain'
I've already decided
That goin' with you
Is worse than without you
I won't spend a lifetime worryin' about you
When things got bad
You disappeared
But I'm back on my feet
And look, look whose standin' there
Where were you when I neeed you
Where were you when I wanted you
Where were you when I needed you
Where
You were so young
And you were so wild
I knew you were nobody's innocent child
That first day I saw you
You really got to me
I thought I could change you
What good did it do me
When times got rought
Ah, you would't wait
Well now you're trippin' back
And babe, babe it's too late
Where were you when I needed you
Where were you when I wanted you
Where were you when I needed you
Where (etc.)

Alice Long
Composer(s): Tommy Boyce - Bobby Hart
Performer(s): Fortune & Maltese
You're still my favorite girlfriend
Alice Long
And I don't forget about you
When you're gone
Even though right now you feel you don't belong
You're still my favorite girlfriend
Alice Long
We both agreed that to get along
To talk things over as they come up
So if you think we don't see each other enough
Then let's talk it over
When we're together
Nothing can keep us apart
But if I ever forget to (??-unclear)
But whatever
You're still a part of my heart
Can't you see
Can't you see
Oh you're still my favorite girlfriend
Alice Long
But you can't hold on to love by holding on
When I am with you girl or when I'm gone
Just remember
You're still my favorite girlfriend
Alice Alice Alice Alice Alice Alice
You're still my favorite girlfriend
Alice Long
And I don't forget about you
When you're gone
Even though right now you feel you don't belong
You're still my favorite girlfriend
You're still my favorite girlfriend
You're still my favorite girlfriend
Alice Long ...

Performer(s): Lloyd Price;
and various other artists
Where were you on our wedding day
I got the bad news that you went away
Where were you little girl I say
Where were you on our wedding day
Give me back my ring
I ain`t gonna let you keep a thing
Where were you when I said I do
Everybody laughing at my fine new suit
Now where were you on our wedding day
Where were you little girl I say
Give me back my ring.
I ain`t gonna let you keep a thing
Now where were you when I searched the town
I turned the whole neighbourhood up side down
Now where were you little girl I say.
Where were you on our wedding day
Give me back my ring
I ain`t gonna let you keep a thing
Give me back my ring
I ain`t gonna let you keep a thing

Alice Is At It Again
Alice Is At It Again
Composer(s): Noël Coward
Performer(s): Noël Coward
and multiple other artists
In a dear little village
Remote and obscure
A beautiful maiden resided
As to whether or not
Her intentions were pure
Opinions were sharply divided
She loved to lie
Out 'neath the darkening sky
And allow the night breeze
To entrance her
She whispered her dreams
To the birds flying by
But seldom received any answer
Over the field and along the lane
Gentle Alice would love to stray
When it came to the end of the day
She would wander away
Unheeding
Dreaming her innocent dreams she strode
Quite unaffected by heat or cold
Frequently freckled or soaked with rain
Alice was out in the lane
Who she met there
Every day
Was a question
Answered by none
But she'd get there
And she'd stay there
'Til whatever she did
Was undoubtedly done
Over the field and along the lane
Both her parents would call in vain
Sadly, sorrowfully, they'd complain
'Alice is at it again'
Although that dear little village
Surrounded by trees
Had neither a school, nor a college
Gentle Alice acquired
From the birds and the bees
Some exceedingly practical knowledge
The curious secrets that nature revealed
She refused to allow to upset her
But she thought
When observing the beasts of the field
That things might have been organised better
Over the field and along the lane
Gentle Alice would make up
And take up
Her stand
The road was not exactly arterial
But it led to a town nearby
Where quite a lot of masculine material
Caught her rolling eye
She was ready to hitchhike
Cadillac or motorbike
She wasn't proud or choosy
All she
Was aiming to be
Was a pinked-up
Minked-up
Fly-by-night floozy
When old Rogers
Gave her pearls as large as
Nuts on a chestnut tree
All she'd say was
'Fiddle-di-dee!
The wages of sin will be the death of me!'
Over the field and along the lane
Gentle Alice's parents
Would wait
Hand in hand
Her dear old white-headed mother
Wistfully sipping champagne
Said 'We've spoiled our child
Spared the rod
Open up the caviar and say "Thank God!"
We've got no cause to complain!
Alice is at it again!'

Where Was I?
Where Was I?
Composer(s): Al Dubin; W. Francis Harling
Performer(s): Charlie Barnett;
and various other artists
Oh where was I the night
that you surrendered to a sigh
Where was I
The moon was high the night
that you first listened to a lie
Where was I
I always felt
that you would melt
in someon`s arms some night
And I was right
The moment came
but what a shame
that someone else came by
Where was I

Alice In Wonderland (Rosemary Clooney)
Alice In Wonderland
Composer(s): Sammy Fain - Bob Hilliard
Performer(s): Rosemary Clooney
and multiple other artists
Alice in Wonderland
How do you get to Wonderland?
Over the hill or underland?
Or just behind a tree?
When clouds go rolling by
They roll away and leave the sky
Where is the land beyond the eye?
The people cannot see
Where can it be?
Where do the stars go?
Where is the crescent moon?
They must be somewhere in the sunny afternoon
Alice in Wonderland
Where is the path to Wonderland?
Over the hill or here or there?
I wonder where?

Where To Now St. Peter?
Where To Now St. Peter?
Composer(s): Bernie Taupin; Elton John
Performer(s): Elton John;
and various other artists
I took myself a blue canoe
And I floated like a leaf
Dazzling, dancing
Half enchanted
In my Merlin sleep
Crazy was the feeling
Restless were my eyes
Insane they took the paddles
My arms they paralyzed
So where to now St. Peter
If it's true I'm in your hands
I may not be a Christian
But I've done all one man can
I understand I'm on the road
Where all that was is gone
So where to now St. Peter
Show me which road I'm on
Which road I'm on
It took a sweet young foreign gun
This lazy life is short
Something for nothing always ending
With a bad report
Dirty was the daybreak
Sudden was the change
In such a silent place as this

Where There's A Will, There's A Way
Composer(s): Bonnie Bramlett; Bobby Whitlock
Performer(s): Delaney & Bonnie
Honey, when we're together
It seems like we've both got a whole lot of nothing to say
But I know if we try, we can work it out someday, good lord
I know if we try, we can work it out someday
[Chorus:]
Because I believe if there's a will
Sure enough, honey, there's a way
If there's a will, yeah yeah
Sure enough, honey, there's a way, oh lord
There ain't no need to worry
'Cause nothing's wrong, it just ain't the time or place, no no
And you can believe nearly every word I say, oh yeah
You can believe nearly every word I say
[Chorus]
Got to get a thing together
Little less talking, we have lot's more to say
When we're alone, it's going to happen anyway
When we're alone, it's going to happen anyway
[Chorus 3x]

Alice In Wonderland (King's Singers)
Alice In Wonderland
Composer(s): Spike Milligan - Alan Clare
Performer(s): King's Singers
Alice in Wonderland would understand
A little Queen of Hearts like you
But in my book it said: Off with his head!
And that's exactly what you'd do
Indeed, I lost my head completely when
On the river one summer's day
All in the golden afternoon
We glided far away
Oh, Alice, how I loved you
The fairy cakes you made, the lemonade
The funny stories that I told
How Tweedle-Dum and Dee could not agree
And Father William who was very old
Mad Hatter on a spree, Doormouse dunked in the tea
All of that day to me was gold
We let the silent sand run though our hands
The setting sun became a glow
I recall, down the long years between
Where did my Queen of Hearts go?
Alice in Wonderland
Where are you now, my love?

Where There Was Darkness
Where There Was Darkness
Composer(s): Nickolas Ashford; Valerie Simpson
Performer(s): Diana Ross
Where there was darkness
You came and now there's
An abundance of light
Nothing but sinkin' sand
Suddenly I reach out
There's your hand
What a feeling it is to know
You're in my corner
And you won't let me go
And now I know that
I won't be alone no more
I'll give you all I have
And if you teach me
I will learn to give you more
You are my anchor now
And like a ship at sea
Ooh, your love will steady me
What a feeling this is to know
You're in my corner
And you won't let me go
And now I know that
I won't be alone no more
I'm so glad
Just wanna thank you baby
What a feeling this is to know
You're in my corner
And you won't let me go
What a feeling this is to know
You're in my corner
And you won't let me go
What a feeling this is to know
You're in my corner
And you won't let me go
Thank you baby
What a feeling this is to know
You're in my corner
And you won't let me go

Alice In The Looking Glass
Alice In The Looking Glass
Composer(s): Matraca Berg - Gary Harrison
Performer(s): Matraca Berg
At nine o'clock each morning down on Charlotte Avenue
The bus driver stops and lets her off
Before the first shampoo
Alice started working there when she was just a girl
And now she mans the second chair
At Thelma's Cut and Curl
A trim is just ten dollars and the conversation's free
She recreates the latest styles of 1963
With a lipstick-circled cigarette constantly aflame
She greets all her clientele
By first and middle names
And even though that mirror paints a picture much too clear
She'll mix you up some magic and she'll dye away the years
And, oh, they come and go so fast
Don't they, Alice -- Alice in the looking glass
One time she was married, but now she lives alone
But there's a little ancient poodle
Waiting there for her at home
And she'll tell you all about him like he was her only child
And rubs her swollen ankles
While she waits for you to dry
There's a picture on the mirror there of her at seventeen
The day that Thelma did her hair when she was football queen
And, oh, they come and go so fast
Don't they, Alice -- Alice in the looking glass
Even though that mirror paints a picture much too clear
She'll mix you up some magic and she'll dye away the years
And, oh, they keep coming back
Don't they, Alice -- Alice in the looking glass

Where The Wind Blows
Where The Wind Blows
Composer(s): Terry Gilkyson
Performer(s): Frankie Laine
Gotta travel through rain and snow
And follow the trail where the mountains grow
Where the winds blow, where the winds blow
Maybe I'll ride over yonder
Maybe I'll hide, maybe I'll wander
Gotta have time just to ponder my soul
Maybe I'll go where the winds blow
(Where the winds blow)
Sheriff is ridin' behind me
Thinkin' that he is going to find me
To the live oak he will bind me, I know
Danglin' low, where the winds blow
Keep a-movin' on ya darned old Charlie horse
Take me to the hills
You gotta be right in a two gun fight
Or push up the daffodils
But if you beat him to the draw
You gotta get shot or break the law
Keep a-movin' on you darned old Charlie horse
Where the winds may blow
Maybe my gal knows my sorrow
Maybe I'll see her tomorrow
Gotta have time I can borrow
But no, can't let her go where the winds blow
Wonder if she is thinkin' of me
Watchin' the same stars above me
How can I ask her to love me and go
Where the winds blow, where the winds blow
Gotta travel through rain and snow
And follow the trail where the mountains grow
Where the winds blow, where the winds blow
Where the winds blow

Alice Blue Gown
Alice Blue Gown
Composer(s): Harry Tierney - Joseph McCarthy
First performance/First recording by: Edith Day - 1919/Columbia Light Opera Company - 1920
Covered by multiple other artists
I once had a gown, it was almost new
Oh, the daintiest thing, it was sweet Alice blue
With little forget-me-nots placed here and there
When I had it on, I walked on the air
And it wore, and it wore, and it wore
'Til it went, and it wasn't no more
In my sweet little Alice blue gown
When I first wandered down into town
I was both proud and shy, as I felt every eye
And in every shop window I primped passing by
Then in manner of fashion, I'd frown
And the world seemed to smile all around
'Til it wilted, I wore it, I'll always adore it
My sweet little Alice blue gown
The little silk worms that made silk for that gown
Just made that much silk and then crawled in the ground
For there never was anything like it before
And I don't dare to hope there will be any more
But it's gone, 'cause it just had to be
Still it wears in my memory
In my sweet little Alice blue gown
When I first wandered down into town
I was both proud and so shy, as I felt every eye
And in every shop window I primped passing by
Then in manner of fashion, I'd frown
And the world seemed to smile all around
So it wouldn't be proper if made of silk were another
My sweet little Alice blue gown

Composer(s): Tony Banks; Peter Gabriel;
Steve Hackett; Anthony Phillips; Mike Rutherford
Performer(s): Genesis
We're waiting for you
Come and join us now
We need you with us
Come and join us now
Look inside your mind
See the darkness creeping out
I can see the softness there
Where the sunshine is gliding in
Fill your mind with love
Find the world of future glory
You can meet yourself
Where the sour turns to sweet
Leave your ugly selfish shell
To melt in the glowing flames
Can you sense the change
See your eyes, now listen
We're waiting for you
Come and join us now
We want you with us
Come and join us now
Paint your face all white
To show the peace inside
Drift away while the saffron burns
To the land where the rainbow ends
Can you sense the change?
See your eyes in focus
We're waiting for you
Come and join us now
We need you with us
Come and join us now
We're waiting for you
Come and join us now
We need you with us
Come and join us now
We want you with us
Come and join us now
We need you with us
Come and join us now

Alice (Tom Waits)
Alice
Composer(s): Tom Waits - Kathleen Brennan
First release by: Tom Waits - 2002
It's dreamy weather we're on
You waved your crooked wand
Along an icy pond with a frozen moon
A murder of silhouette crows I saw
And the tears on my face
And the skates on the pond
They spell Alice
I disappear in your name
But you must wait for me
Somewhere across the sea
There's a wreck of a ship
Your hair is like meadow grass on the tide
And the raindrops on my window
And the ice in my drink
Baby all I can think of is Alice
Arithmetic arithmetock
Turn the hands back on the clock
How does the ocean rock the boat?
How did the razor find my throat?
The only strings that hold me here
Are tangled up around the pier
And so a secret kiss
Brings madness with the bliss
And I will think of this
When I'm dead in my grave
Set me adrift and I'm lost over there
And I must be insane
To go skating on your name
And by tracing it twice
I fell through the ice
Of Alice
And so a secret kiss
Brings madness with the bliss
And I will think of this
When I'm dead in my grave
Set me adrift and I'm lost over there
And I must be insane
To go skating on your name
And by tracing it twice
I fell through the ice
Of Alice
There's only Alice
