Wide Eyed And Legless
Wide Eyed And Legless
Composer(s): Andy Fairweather Low
Performer(s): Andy Fairweather Low
Wherever I go and whatever I do
I seem to spend some of my time
Trying to turn the black night, blue
Well I’m tired of it all
It’s the same thing every night
But the rhythm of the glass
Is stronger than the rhythm of night
Wide eyed and legless
I’ve gone and done it again
Wide eyed and legless
This world is full of my shame
Shame, I can’t get free from these chains
Oh, oh-oh
Wide eyed and legless
I’ve gone and done it again
Wide eyed and legless
This world is full of my shame
Shame, I can’t get free from these chains
Oh, oh-oh
I’ve been here before
But this time it feels like the end
I should’ve known better, I know
But my memory’s no friend
Well, I’ve tried every thing
That I know will get rid of this fling
And I can’t understand
Why I’m wide eyed and legless again
Wide eyed and legless
I’ve gone and done it again
Wide eyed and legless
This world is full of my shame
Shame, I can’t get free from these chains
Oh, oh-oh

All Over The World (Electric Light Orchestra)
All Over The World
Performer(s): Electric Light Orchestra
She cried to the southern wind
About a love that was sure to end
Every dream in her heart was gone
Headin’ for a showdown
Bad dreamer, what’s your name
Looks like we’re ridin’ on the same train
Looks as through there’ll be more pain
There’s gonna be a showdown
And it’s rainin’ all over the world
It’s raining all over the world
Tonight, the longest night
She came to me like a friend
She blew in on a southern wind
Now my heart is turned to stone again
There’s gonna be a showdown
Save me, oh save me
It’s unreal, the suffering
There’s gonna be a showdown
And it’s rainin’ all over the world
It’s raining all over the world
Tonight, the longest night

Wicked Messenger
Wicked Messenger
Composer(s): Bob Dylan
Performer(s): The Small Faces;
and various other artists
There was a wicked messenger
from Eli he did come
With a mind that multiplied
the smallest matter
When questioned who had sent for him
he answered with a thumb
For his tongue it could not speak, but only flatter
He stayed behind the assembly hall
it was there that he made his bed
Often times he could be seen returning
Until one day he just appeared
with a note in his hand which read
"The soles of my feet, I swear they're burning"
The leaves began to fallin'
And the seas began to part
And the people that confronted him were many
And he was told these last few words
Which opened up his heart
"If ye cannot bring good news, then don't bring any"

All Over The Place
All Over The Place
Composer(s): Andrew Eyton - Noel Gay
Performer(s): Billy Thorburn
and multiple other artists
All over the place
Wherever the sea may happen to be
A sailor is found, knocking around
All over the place
All over the place
The North and the South the East or the West
There's half of the world tattooed on his chest
And all over the place
All around the universe in any port of call
Getting his fun, the son of a gun
Never staying very long in any place at all
He's here, he's there, he's every-bloomin'-where
He's all over the place
The ladies adore to get him ashore
He's theirs for the day
And then he's away
All over the place

Wichita Lineman
Wichita Lineman
Composer(s): Jimmy Webb
Performer(s): Glen Campbell
I am a lineman for the county
And I drive the main road
Searchin' in the sun for another overload
I hear you singing in the wires
I can hear you through the whine
And the Wichita lineman is still on the line
I know I need a small vacation
But it don't look like rain
And if it snows that that stretch down south
Won't ever stand the strain
And I need you more than want you
And I want you for all time
And the Wichita lineman is still on the line
And I need you more than want you
And I want you for all time
And the Wichita lineman is still on the line

All Over Nothing At All
All Over Nothing At All
Composer(s): J. Keirn Brennan - Paul Cunningham - James Rule
Our dreaming, our scheming, was all in vain
One lover's quarrel brought endless pain
We had a wonderful start
Who ever thought we would part?
How could we, why should we say it's the end
Is this the one break nothing can mend?
When there is so much at stake
Why let our hearts ache and ache?
All over nothing at all
Was our affections so small?
Must I go on living like this
Without the bliss of a sweet kiss?
I'm so sorry I made you cry
We could patch it up if we'd try
Why must we both say Good Bye
All over nothing at all!

Why'd Ya Make Me Fall In Love
Why'd Ya Make Me Fall In Love
Composer(s): Walter Donaldson
Performer(s): Benny Goodman; Glenn Miller
Why'd ya make me fall in love
Why'd ya mention stars above
Why'd ya make me fall in love with you?
When I thought that love was blind
Why'd ya make me change my mind
Why'd ya make me fall in love with you?
Fine thing Mister Smarty
Fine thing thought you had a party
Why'd ya make me fall so hard
Should-a stayed in your own backyard
Why'd ya make me fall in love with you?

All Over
All Over
Composer(s): Phoebe Snow
Performer(s): Phoebe Snow
Nine of diamonds, Nine of diamonds
Lord, that's a lucky card
We'll celebrate it, when we've made it
I'll jump all over your yard
I'll jump all over your yard, I'll jump all over...
I don't know what hit me but I'm seeing Stars
This comic book life is like being on Mars
Thousands of warm hands are touching me
All over, All over, I hope this will never be all over
All over, All over, I hope this will never be all over
The night queen fright wig street Parade may fade
When we laugh at the statues of gods we have made
Oceans of love-waves are washing me
All over, All over, I hope this will never be all over
All over, All over, I hope this will never be all over
Nine of diamonds, Nine of diamonds
Lord, that's a lucky card
We'll celebrate it, when we've made it
I'll jump all over your yard
I'll jump all over your yard, I'll jump all over...
When you feel that your train of thought's been derailed
Let out your wild wishes from where they've been jailed
You feel the future embracing you
All over, All over, I hope this will never be all over
All over, All over, I hope this will never be all over

Why (Roger Whittaker)
Why
Performer(s): Roger Whittaker
Something is going wrong
With the singer and the song
And the music isn't gentle anymore
There's a mist across the moon
And the sun's too hot at noon
And the house is dark behind the broken door
Where the flowers used to grow
With their leaves are hanging low
And the constant shadow lies across the floor
There's a strange and empty sky
Where the wild birds used to fly
And I never tasted bitter rain before
And will the grass be gone from underneath the sky
Will the golden flower wither soon and die
Will the fire burn out the land
And the sea fill-up with sand
Will the last word ever spoken be why?
Will the last word ever spoken be why?
Someone's lost the plan
For the brotherhood of man
And no one's trying to find it anymore
And the winds become a sigh
For those who hate and those who die
And the waves are black and slow along the shore
And will the grass be gone from underneath the sky
Will the golden flower wither soon and die
Will the fire burn out the land
And the sea fill-up with sand
Will the last word ever spoken be why?
Will the last word ever spoken be why, why, why?
Will the last word ever spoken be …
Why?

All Out Of Love
All Out Of Love
((French Version: Avec Ou Sans Toi (by Dave) - 1981))
Composer(s): Graham Russell - Clive Davis
First release by: Air Supply - 1980
Covered by multiple other artists
I'm lying alone
With my head on the phone
Thinking of you till it hurts
I know you're hurt too
But what else can we do?
Tormented and torn apart
I wish I could carry y
Our smile and my heart
For times when my life seems so low
It would make me believe
What tomorrow could bring
When today doesn't really know
Doesn't really know
I'm all out of love
I'm so lost without you
I know you were right
Believing for so long
I'm all out of love
What am I without you
I can't be too late
To say that I was so wrong
I want you to come back
And carry me home
Away from these long lonely nights
I'm waiting for you
Are you feeling it too
Does the feeling seem oh so right
And what would you say
If I called on you now
And said that I can't hold on
There's no easy way
It gets harder each day
Please love me or I'll be gone
I'll be gone
Oh, what are you thinking of?
What are you thinking of?
Oh, what are you thinking of?
What are you thinking of?

Why Worry
Why Worry
Composer(s): Mark Knopfler
Performer(s): Dire Straits
Baby I see this world has made you sad
Some people can be bad
The things they do, the things they say
But baby I'll wipe away those bitter tears
I'll chase away those restless fears
That turn your blue skies into grey
Why worry, there should be laughter after the pain
There should be sunshine after rain
These things have always been the same
So why worry now
Baby when I get down I turn to you
And you make sense of what I do
I know it isn't hard to say
But baby just when this world seems mean and cold
Our love comes shining red and gold
And all the rest is by the way
Why worry, there should be laughter after pain
There should be sunsh ine after rain
These things have always been the same
So why worry now

Avec Ou Sans Toi
Avec Ou Sans Toi
((Adapted from: All Out Of Love (by Air Supply) - 1980))
Composer(s): Graham Russell - Clive Davis - Patrick Loiseau
Performer(s): Dave - 1981
Les larmes d'un homme ne regardent personne
C'est une question de pudeur
Je tiendrai debout, courageux jusqu'au bout
Sans laisser flancher mon coeur
Tu peux partir tranquille, ce n'est pas mon style
De fermer la cage aux oiseaux
Envole-toi vers ton île
Les adieux difficiles
N'aie pas peur, je t'en fais cadeau
Je t'en fais cadeau!
Avec ou sans toi, aucune importance
Bien sûr, quelquefois les nuits seront longues
Avec ou sans toi, j'existe et je pense
Qu'on n'est pas si mal, tout seul dans ce bon vieux monde
Surtout ne t'inquiète pas, j'suis plus un enfant
Je m'en sortirai comme un grand
J'travaillerai beaucoup, on s'habitue à tout
Il suffit d'le vouloir vraiment
Je sais qu't'es pressée mais, avant d'me laisser
Souris-moi une dernière fois
On peut s'embrasser, le plus dur est passé
Va-t'en et ne t'en fais pas
T'en fais pas!
Avec ou sans toi, aucune importance
Bien sûr, quelquefois les nuits seront longues
Avec ou sans toi, j'existe et je pense
Qu'on n'est pas si mal, tout seul dans ce bon vieux monde
Que reste-t-il d'un homme?
Que reste-t-il d'un homme
Quand il n'a plus personne?
Quand il n'a plus personne
Avec ou sans toi, aucune importance
Bien sûr, quelquefois les nuits seront longues
Avec ou sans toi, j'existe et je pense
Qu'on n'est pas si mal, tout seul dans ce monde
Avec ou sans toi, aucune importance
Bien sûr, quelquefois les nuits seront longues
Avec ou sans toi, aucune importance
Bien sûr, quelquefois les nuits seront longues
Avec ou sans toi, j'existe et je pense
Qu'on n'est pas si mal, tout seul dans ce monde
Qu'on n'est pas si mal, tout seul dans ce monde

Why do I try to draw you near me?
Why do I do I cry? You never hear me

All Our Dreams Are Sold
All Our Dreams Are Sold
Composer(s): Gary Brooker - Keith Reid - Robin Trower
Performer(s): Procol Harum
Rings upon your fingers
Bells upon your toes
Ev’ry day’s a game of chance
Ev’ry body knows
In the king’s apartment
Heavy lies the crown
There must be a thousand ways
To bring that castle down
Wave the mighty dollar
Make us live again
Lead and we will follow
Faithful to the end
Wave the mighty dollar
Pave the streets with gold
Lead us by the collar
All our dreams are sold
Rings upon your finger
Stardust in your hair
Jumping through that wall of fire
All for the market share
In the king’s apartment
Desperate human greed
Try to find a diff’rent way
Satisfy that need
Wave the mighty dollar
Make us live again
Lead and we will follow
Faithful to the end
Wave the mighty dollar
Pave the streets with gold
Lead us by the collar
All our dreams are sold

Why Walk When You Can Fly
Why Walk When You Can Fly
Composer(s): Mary Chapin Carpenter
Performer(s): Mary Chapin Carpenter;
and various other artists
In this world there's a whole lot of trouble, baby
In this world there's a whole lot of pain
In this world there's a whole lot of trouble
But a whole lot of ground to gain
Why take when you could be giving, why watch as the world goes by
It's a hard enough life to be living, why walk when you can fly
In this world there's a whole lot of sorrow
In this world there's a whole lot of shame
In this world there's a whole lot of sorrow
And a whole lotta ground to gain
When you spend your whole life wishing, wanting and wondering why
It's a long enough life to be living, why walk when you can fly
In this world there's a whole lot of cold
In this world there's a whole lot of blame
In this world you've a soul for a compass
And a heart for a pair of wings
There's a star on the far horizon, rising bright in an azure sky
For the rest of the time that you're given, why walk when you can fly

All Our Days
All Our Days
Composer(s): Sandy Denny
First release by: Sandy Denny - 1977
We search for everything
Keeping what we would win
Orchids or tiny flowers
Wooden huts or ivory towers
Centuries or hours
Dark are the winter days
Holy in many ways
Vaults of time unshaken
Whilst as through them we are taken
Sleeping forests wake
Ice melts on the lake
Birds begin in making their way back home
The frost and the fire goes
East winds and winter snows
Sun upon the daffodils
Dancing on the verdant hills
Lambs in the fields
Warmer grows the morning sun
Days of youthfulness and fun
The prime of the year begun
The song of summer to be sung
Everything is one
Working day is done
Watch the river running through our lives
How slowly the colours change
We feel the drops of rain
Mists of evening rise again
We rarely stroll the shadowed lanes
As autumn night draws in
We sit upon the sand
Warmth draining from the land
Watching the ruby sun
Setting on the ocean
The echoes in the caves
The flame upon the waves
Memories for saving all our days

Why Should I Love You?
Why Should I Love You?
Composer(s): Kate Bush
Performer(s): Kate Bush; Mike Scott
This chapter says, put it out of your mind
and give it time
the violent purple
the purest gold
the red of the sacred heart
the grey of the ghost
the "l" of the lips are open
to the "o" of the host
the "v" of the velvet
Chorus
of all the people in the world
why should I love you?
there's just something bout you
there's just something bout you
of all the people in the world
why should I love you?
have you ever seen a picture
of Jesus laughing
mmm do you think
he had a beautiful smile
a smile that healed
Chorus
of all the people in the world
why should I love you
(why should I love you)
why should I love you
(why should I love you)
Repeat

All Or Nothing At All
All Or Nothing At All
Composer(s): Arthur Altman - Jack Lawrence
First release by: Bob Eberly & Jimmy Dorsey - 1939
Covered by multiple other artists
All or nothing at all
Half a love, never appealed to me
If your heart, never could yield to me
Then I'd rather have nothing at all
All or nothing at all
If it's love, there is no in between
Why begin then cry, for something that might have been
No I'd rather have nothing at all
But please don't bring your lips so close to my cheek
Don't smile or I'll be lost beyond recall
The kiss in your eyes, the touch of your hand makes me weak
And my heart may go dizzy and fall
And if I fell under the spell of your call
I would be, caught in the undertow
So you see, I've got to say "No, No"
All or nothing at all

Why Should I Cry Over You?
