All The Nasties


All The Nasties
Composer(s): Elton John - Bernie Taupin
Performer(s): Elton John



If it came to pass that they should ask
What could I tell them
Would they criticize behind my back
Maybe I should let them
Oh if only then and only then
They would understand
They'd turn a full-blooded city boy
Into a full-blooded city man

If they could face it
I could take it in their eyes
Oh I know I'd make it
Their tiny minds
And sacred cows just fake it
If only then and only then
They would understand
They'd turn a full-blooded city boy
Into a full-blooded city man

But I know the way they want me
In the way they publicize
If they could turn their focus off
To the image in their eyes
Maybe it would help them, help them understand
Maybe it would help them, help them understand
Maybe it would help them, help them understand
That a full-blooded city boy
Is now a full-blooded city man

Oh my soul
Oh my soul
Oh my soul

Wild Tales


Wild Tales
Composer(s): Graham Nash
Performer(s): Crosby, Stills & Nash



You came over here with wild tales from the East
about the floods that are rushing 'round your door
about your old lady who up and walked away from your feast
So you flew your bike over Highway 1
you were lucky to land on your feet
and you started crying 'cause you bent the key
but it was your lady that landed underneath
And it is alright
take it as it comes
you will find a way
to get there
So tell me your company's being reviewed
by the people that sit on the stand
and you tell me your factory's been renewed
with computers instead of hands
So you filmed Old faithful in super-8
and you monitored all of her calls
'cause you caught the milkman with double-cream
he was delivering down your halls
But it's all right
take it as it comes
you will find a way
to get there

All The Man That I Need


All The Man That I Need
Composer(s): Dean Pitchford - Michael Gore
First release by: Linda Clifford - 1982
Covered by multiple other artists



I used to cry myself to sleep at night
But that was all
Before he came
I thought love had to hurt to turn out right
But now he's here
It's not the same
It's not the same

He fills me up
He gives me love
More love than I've ever seen
He's all I've got
He's all I've got in this world
But he's all the man that I need

And in the morning when I kiss his eyes
He takes me down
And rocks me slow
And in the evening when the moon is high
He holds me close
And won't let go
He won't let go

He fills me up
He gives me love
More love than I've ever seen
He's all I've got
He's all I've got in this world
But he's all the man that I need

Wild Rose


Wild Rose
Composer(s): Cindy Walker
Performer(s): Jim Reeves



A rose should be
Where the sun shines through
Not where the wine is red
And the smoke is blue

A rose should be
Blooming in the light
Not in a rendezvous
Blooming in the night

And you are a rose
May be a wild rose
But I'll be proud to take you home
For all to see

To stand with me
Where the candles glow
With orange blossoms
All around the wild, wild rose

And you are a rose
May be a wild rose
But I'll be proud to take you home
For all to see

To stand with me
Where the candles glow
With orange blossoms
All around the wild, wild rose...

All The Love In The World


All The Love In The World
Composer(s): Barry Gibb
Performer(s): Dionne Warwick



In your eyes I see only one - find me the place for us
That's where I belong
There we rise - your glory and mine
Your pain is over now
I make you shine - still believing
All the love in the world won't take me away from you

My love is stronger I am what you make me
All the love in the world won't take you away from me

In all my wonder I forever lay down here with you
I find when love slips away
reach out for all you can
Before it's too late
there you fly returnin' to me
Out of your darkest nights I stand alone - still believing
All the love in the world won't take me away from you

My love is stronger I forever lay down here with you
My love is true
all your darkest nights - I stand alone - still believing
All the love in the world won't take me away from you

My love is stronger I forever lay down here with you
All the love in the world won't take me away from you

Wild Ride


Wild Ride
Composer(s): Dwight Yoakam
Performer(s): Dwight Yoakam



I walked in
There sat Slim
Cleaning up his memory
With some sapphire gin
Mr. Paine grabbed my arm
Pulled me aside
And said, kid are you ready for the wild ride

I looked up
There she stood
I said, if you didn't look so great
I'd say you look good
Ah, she took her hand
Ran it up my thigh
And said, cowboy you ready for the wild ride

Come on now junior take the wild ride
See can you make it on the wild ride
Don't try no shakin' on the wild ride
'Cause things start breakin' on the wild ride

Layin' on the highway
I saw my mind
In tiny little pieces
Thrown from side to side
My heart was shattered
Along with my pride
Guess you can't keep 'em on the wild ride

Come on now junior take the wild ride
See can you make it on the wild ride
Don't try no shakin' on the wild ride
'Cause things start breakin' on the wild ride

I was crawlin' 'cross the floor
I was tryin' to leave
When I felt something tuggin' what was
Left of my sleeve
I heard a little voice with a
Gold-plated vibe
Say, I bought a ticket for the wild ride

Come on now junior take the wild ride
See can you make it on the wild ride
Don't try no shakin' on the wild ride
We might just break it on the wild ride

Come on now junior take the wild ride
See can you make it on the wild ride
Don't try no shakin' on the wild ride
We might just break it on the wild ride

Come on, Come
Take me on a wild ride
See can you make me on the wild ride
Come on and shake me on the wild ride
You might just break me on the wild ride

All The Love I Have Inside


All The Love I Have Inside
Composer(s): Chris de Burgh
Performer(s): Chris de Burgh



When I wake up in the morning she is there
With her sleepy smile and a long night of windy hair
And when I hold her close beside me
Well it feels so good
That I'd like to stay here all day long
If there's a way that I could

And when we go downstairs and start off onto the day
Just one more cup of coffee, and I'm on my way
We may not have perfection
But we're halfway there
And I know it's sentimental
But I just wanted to say

That all the love I have inside me is for you
All the love I have inside me is for you
All the love I have inside me is for you

And when I've had a heavy day and I'm going home
She gives me time if she sees I want to be alone
Ah but when the evening's over
And we go to bed
Here comes the same old feeling
It's like a song in my head

Well all the love I have inside me is for you
All the love I have inside me is for you
All the love I have inside me is for you
Here's my love song to you, you...

Wild One
Performer(s): UHF



Change your life wild one
Change your life
Make it strong
Change your life wild one
Sing your own song

Now
Now that the dark has come
And the virgin green was made unclean
By the foolish one
Now
Everyone has to pay
And the more that we resist the more the blindness stays
Yeah the more that we resist the more the blindness stays

All The Good Times Are Past & Gone


All The Good Times Are Past & Gone
(Traditional)
Performer(s): Fred & Gertrude Gossett
and multiple other artists



I wish to the Lord I'd never been born
Or died when I was young
I never would have seen your sparkling blue eyes
Or heard your lying tongue

All the good times are past and gone
All the good times are o'er
All the good times are past and gone
Little darlin', don't weep no more

Don't you see that passing train
Coming around the bend
It's taking away my own true love
Never to return again

Don't you see that turtle dove
That flies from pine to pine
He's mourning for his own true love
Just like I mourn for mine

If you see my own true love
There's something I want you to tell her
Tell her to quit wastin' her time
Runnin' 'round with some other feller

Woody knows nothin' but peckin' on a bow
Under skies of blue
I never knew 'til I met you
What love, oh love could do

Come back, come back, my own true love
And stay awhile with me
For if ever I've had a friend in this world
You've been that friend to me

All the good times are past and gone
All the good times are o'er
All the good times are past and gone
Little darlin', don't weep no more

All The Gold In California


All The Gold In California
Composer(s): Larry Gatlin
Performer(s): Larry Gatlin & The Gatlin Brothers Band



All the gold in California
Is in a bank in the middle of Beverly Hills
In somebody elses name
So if you're dreaming about California
It dont matter at all where you've played before
California's a brand new game

Trying to be a hero, winding up a zero
Can scar a man forever right down to your soul
Living on the spotlight can kill a man outright
'Cause everything that glitters is not gold

All the gold in California
Is in a bank in the middle of Beverly Hills
In somebody elses name
So if you're dreaming about California
It dont matter at all where you've played before
California's a brand new game

Wild Night


Wild Night
Composer(s): Van Morrison
Performer(s): Van Morrison;
and various other artists



As you brush your shoes, you stand before your mirror
And you comb your hair, grab your coat and hat

And you walk the streets trying to remember, ee-yea
All those wild nights breeze through your mind

And every thing looks so complete
When you're walking down on the streets
And the wind, it catches your feet
Sets you flying, crying

Ooh ooh-ooh wee, wild night, is calling
Ooh ooh-ooh wee, wild night, is calling

All the girls walk by, dressed up for each other
And the boys, do the boogie-woogie
On the corner of the stree-ee-eet

And the people passing by, just stare with wild wonder, yea
And inside the juke box roars just like thunder

And every thing looks so complete
When you're walking down on the streets
And the wind, it catches your feet
Sets you flying, crying

Wi-i-i-ild night, is calling
The wi-i-ild night a-is calling
C'mon out and dance, c'mon out and dance
C'mon out and make romance, c'mon out and dance
C'mon out and dance, c'mon out and make romance

Ooh ooh-ooh we the wild night, is calling

Wild Montana Skies


Wild Montana Skies
Composer(s): John Denver
Performer(s): John Denver;
Francesca; Emmylou Harris



He was born in the Bitteroot Valley in the early morning rain
Wild geese over the water, heading north and home again
Bringing a warm wind from the south, bringing the first taste of the spring
His mother took him to her breast, and softly she did sing
Oh Montana, give this child a home
Give him the love of a good family and a woman of his own
Give him a fire in his heart, give him a light in his eyes
give him the wild wind for a brother and the wild Montana Skies

His mother died that summer and he never learned to cry
He never knew his father and he never did ask why
He never knew the answers that would make an easy way
but he learned to know the wilderness and to be a man that way
His mother's brother took him in to his family and his home
gave him a hand that he could lean on and a strength to call his own
And he learned to be a farmer, and he learned to love the land
and he learned to read the seasons and he learned to make a stand
Oh Montana, give this child a home
Give him the love of a good family and a woman of his own
Give him a fire in his heart, give him a light in his eyes
give him the wild wind for a brother and the wild Montana Skies

On the eve of his 2lst birthday, he set out on his own
He was 30 years and running when he found his way back home
Riding a storm across the mountains and an aching in his heart
said he came to turn the pages and to make a brand new start
Now he never told a story of the time that he was gone
Some say he was a lawyer, some say he was a John
There was something in the city that he said he couldn't breathe
there was something in the country that he said he couldn't leave
Now some say he was crazy, some are glad he’s gone
Some of us will miss him and try to carry on
giving a voice to the forest, giving a voice to the dawn
Giving a voice to the wilderness and the land that he lived on
Oh Montana, give this child a home
Give him the love of a good family and a woman of his own
Give him a fire in his heart, give him a light in his eyes
give him the wild wind for a brother and the wild Montana Skies
Oh Montana, give this child a home
Give him the love of a good family and a woman of his own
Give him a fire in his heart, give him a light in his eyes
give him the wild wind for a brother and the wild Montana Skies

All The Girls Love Alice


All The Girls Love Alice
Composer(s): Elton John - Bernie Taupin
Performer(s): Elton John



Raised to be a lady by the golden rule
Alice was the spawn of a public school
With a double barrel name in the back of her brain
And a simple case of mummy-doesn’t-love-me blues

Reality it seems was just a dream
She couldn’t get it on with the boys on the scene
But what do you expect from a chick who’s just sixteen
And hey, hey, hey, you know what I mean

All the young girls love alice
Tender young alice they say
Come over and see me
Come over and please me
Alice it’s my turn today

All the young girls love alice
Tender young alice they say
If I give you my number
Will you promise to call me
Wait till my husband’s away

Poor little darling with a chip out of her heart
It’s like acting in a movie when you got the wrong part
Getting your kicks in another girl’s bed
And it was only last tuesday they found you in the subway dead

And who could you call your friends down in soho
One or two middle-aged dykes in a go-go
And what do you expect from a sixteen year old yo-yo
And hey, hey, hey, oh don’t you know

Wild Is The Wind


Wild Is The Wind
Composer(s): Dimitri Tiomkin; Ned Washington
Performer(s): Johnny Mathis



Love me, love me, love me, love me
Say you do
Let me fly away with you
For my love is like the wind
And wild is the wind
Wild is the wind

Give me more than one caress
Satisfy this hungriness
Let the wind blow through your heart
Oh wild is the wind
Wild is the wind

You touch me
I hear the sound of mandolins
You kiss me
With your kiss my life begins
You're Spring to me
All things to me
Don't you know
You're life itself!

Like the leaf
Clings to the tree
Oh my darling cling to me
For we're like creatures of the wind
And wild is the wind
Wild is the wind

You touch me
I hear the sound of mandolins
You kiss me
With your kiss my life begins
You're Spring to me
All things to me
Don't you know
You're life itself!

Like the leaf
Clings to the tree
Oh my darling cling to me
For we're like creatures of the wind
And wild is the wind
Wild is the wind, wild is the wind
Wild is the wind, wild is the wind

Wild Indian Woman


Wild Indian Woman
Composer(s): Andy Fraser; Paul Rodgers
Performer(s): Free



She was a wild Indian woman and she drove me wild
She was a wild Indian woman till she had my child

You don't need your horses baby, you got me to ride
You don't need your feathers, I'll keep you warm inside
she's got dark brown eyes and long long black hair
she's got a peaceful side but I just don't know where

she used to sleep on the prairie with the stars above
she used to hunt in the woods till I caught her love

You don't need your horses baby, you got me to ride
You don't need your feathers, I'll keep you warm inside
she's got dark brown eyes and long long black hair
she's got a peaceful side but I just don't know where

All The Best


All The Best
Composer(s): John Prine
First release by: John Prine - 1991
Covered by multiple other artists



I wish you love and happiness
I guess I wish you all the best
I wish you don’t do like I do
And ever fall in love with someone like you
'Cause if you fell just like I did
You’d probably walk around the block like a little kid
But kids don’t know they can only guess
How hard it is to wish you happiness

I guess that love is like a Christmas card
You decorate a tree you throw it in the yard
It decays and dies and the snowmen melt
Well I once knew love I knew how love felt
Yeah I knew love love knew me
And when I walked love walked with me
And I got no hate and I got no pride
Well I got so much love that I cannot hide

Say you drive a Chevy say you drive a Ford
You say you drive around the town till you just get bored
Then you change your mind for something else to do
And your heart gets bored with your mind and it changes you
Well it’s a doggone shame and it’s an awful mess
I wish you love I wish you happiness
I wish you love I wish you happiness
I guess I wish you all the best

Wild In The Country


Wild In The Country
Composer(s): George Wise; Hugo Peretti; Luigi Creatore
Performer(s): Elvis Presley



A rose grows wild in the country
A tree grows tall as the sky
The wind blows wild in the country
And part of the wild, wild country, am I
Wild, wild, like the deer and the dove
Wild and free is this land that I love

A dream grows wild in the country
A love grows tall as the sky
A heart beats wild in the country
And here with a dream in my heart
Part of the wild, wild country, am I
