Witches Hat
Witches Hat
Composer(s): Robin Williamson
Performer(s): Robin Williamson; The Incredible String Band
Certainly
The children have seen them
In quiet places where the moss grows green
Coloured shells
Jangle together
The wind is cold, the year is old
The trees whisper together
And bent in the wind they lean
If I was a witches hat
Sitting on her head like a paraffin stove
I'd fly away and be a bat
Across the air I would rove
Stepping like a tightrope walker
Putting one foot after another
Wearing black cherries for rings
If I was a witches hat
Sitting on her head like a telegraph pole
Id fly away and be a bat
Across the air I would roll
Stepping like a tightrope walker
Putting one foot after another
Wearing black cherries for rings

Almost There
Almost There
Composer(s): Gloria Shayne
Performer(s): Andy Williams
Almost there, we're almost there
We're, we're almost there
How wonderful, wonderful our love will be
For you, for me
We're almost there where we will share
A warm caress, tenderness, a dream come true
For me, for you
Love has waited such a long time
Now we're a kiss apart
Darling, this is the right time
To let the kisses start
For you're almost mine and soon we'll find
Our paradise, paradise so rare
Close your eyes for we're almost there
You're almost mine and soon we'll find
Our paradise, paradise so rare
Close your eyes, close your eyes
Close your eyes for we're almost there
Almost there
A-a-almost there

Performer(s): Janie Jones
Hey hey-hey hey-hey, ho ho-ho
I’m stirring my witches brew for you
I’m stirring my witches brew
How could you know that you were right
When you called me a little witch last night?
I use naughty charms that work taboo
I decided you’re mine, I just gotta have you
Hey hey-hey hey-hey, ho ho-ho
I’m stirring my witches brew for you
Stirring my witches brew
Don’t take fright, ho ho-ho
If I drop in on my broomstick to say hello
Now that I’ve fallen in love with you
I’m gonna cast a spell to make you love me too
Hey hey-hey hey-hey, ho ho-ho
I’m stirring my witches brew for you
Stirring my witches brew
(Drink her brew and you’ll be all right
For she decided to make you first tonight)
Drink my brew and you’ll be all right
‘Cause I’ve decided to make you mine tonight
Hey hey-hey hey-hey, ho ho-ho
I’m stirring my witches brew for you
I’m stirring my witches brew
I’m stirring my witches brew for you
I’m stirring my witches brew

Outside my window, I can hear the radio
And I know that motor wagon is ready to fly
'Cause it's almost Saturday night
Bye bye, tomorrow, Jody's gone to the rodeo
And you know some good old boys are ready to ride
'Cause it's almost Saturday night
Gonna push the clouds away, let the music have it's way
Let it steal my heart away, and you know I'm-a-goin'!
Outside the ringing, the night train is bringin' me home
When you hear that locomotion get ready to ride
'Cause it's almost Saturday night
Gonna push the clouds away, let the music have it's way
Let it steal my heart away, and you know I'm-a-goin'!
Outside the ringing, the night train is bringin' me home
When you hear that locomotion get ready to ride
'Cause it's almost Saturday night
Oh yeah!

Almost Said Goodbye
Almost Said Goodbye
Composer(s): Peter Frampton - Dennis Greaves - Mark Hudson
Performer(s): Peter Frampton
Living inside myself I -- Didn't need no one else
I was alright Yeah -- Alright Yeah
Every night was lonely -- And nobody ever told me
Look inside -- Look inside
I was blind and I couldn't see that was right in front of me
You could tell that I lived in a shadow
Locked away in my darkness and pain
And my heart was shut down and in prison
You were sent here to free it again
And the moment I almost went under
you came through cause I almost said goodbye
Shattered and broke down I -- Was hopin to turn it round
There's no way -- There's no way
I couldn't find a reason -- When there's nothing to believe in
Anyway -- Anyway
I was blind and I couldn't see what was right in front of me
I been contemplating -- Been so down I wanna die
Almost said goodbye
And in the end I -- Hope I find a friend who's
Just like you -- Just like you
Happiness surrounds you
Now that I finally found me too -- Me and you

Witchcraft
Witchcraft
Composer(s): Carolyn Leigh; Cy Coleman
Performer(s): Frank Sinatra;
and various other artists
Those fingers in my hair
That sly come-hither stare
That strips my conscience bare
It's witchcraft
And I've got no defense for it
The heat is too intense for it
What good would common sense for it do?
'Cause it's witchcraft, wicked witchcraft
And although I know it's strictly taboo
When you arouse the need in me
My heart says "Yes indeed" in me
Proceed with what you're leading me to
It's such an ancient pitch
But one that I wouldn't switch
'Cause there's no nicer witch than you
'Cause it's witchcraft, that crazy witchcraft
And although I know it's strictly taboo
When you arouse the need in me
My heart says "Yes indeed" in me
Proceed with what you're leading me to
It's such an ancient pitch
But one that I'd never switch
'Cause there's no nicer witch than you

Almost Persuaded
Almost Persuaded
Composer(s): Billy Sherrill - Glenn Sutton
First release by: David Houston - 1966
Covered by multiple other artists
Last night all alone in a barroom
Met a girl with a drink in her hand
She had ruby red lips, coal black hair
And eyes that would tempt any man
Then she came and sat down at my table
As she placed her soft hands in mine
I found myself wanting to kiss her
For temptation was flowing like wine
And I was almost persuaded to strip myself of my pride
Almost persuaded to push my conscience aside
Then we danced and she whispered, "I need you
Take me away from here and be my man"
Then I looked into her eyes and saw it
The reflection of my wedding band
And I was almost persuaded to let strange lips lead me on
Almost persuaded but your sweet love made me stop and go home

Witch Hunt
Witch Hunt
Composer(s): The Misfits
Performer(s): The Misfits
Wipe out the weak and dying
I've got no use for you
Sent from Hell, I know they're lying
Just another sacrifice
We are on a witch hunt
Hunt her down, for will she sink or float?
We want independace from her spell
Exterminate the undetermined
I've got no use for you
Sent from Hell, I know they're lying
Hang her by her neck to die
We are on a witch hunt
Hunt her down, for will she sink or float
We want independance from her spell
We're on a head hunt
We're on a blood hunt
We're on a witch hunt
And we're gonna get you
We're coming after you too
We're under a spell

Almost Paradise
Almost Paradise
Composer(s): Eric Carmen - Dean Pitchford
Performer(s): Eric Carmen
and multiple other artists
I thought that dreams belonged to other men
'cause each time I got close
They'd fall apart again
I feared my heart would beat in secrecy
I faced the nights alone
Oh, how could I have known
That all my life i only needed you?
Whoa
Almost paradise
We're knockin' on heaven's door
Almost paradise
How could we ask for more?
I swear that I can see forever in your eyes
Paradise
It seems like perfect love's so hard to find
I'd almost given up
You must have read my mind
And all these dreams I saved for a rainy day
They're finally coming true
I'll share them all with you
'cause now we hold the future in our hands

So I went out and found myself
A guy that's so much wiser
And he taught me the way to win your heart
My friend the witch doctor, he taught me what to say
My friend the witch doctor, he taught me what to do
I know that you'll be mine when I say this to you
Oh, Baby ....

Wishing Well
Wishing Well
Composer(s): John "Rabbit" Bundrick; Simon Kirke;
Paul Kossoff; Paul Rodgers; Tetsu Yamauchi
Performer(s): Free
Take off your hat
kick off your shoes
I know you ain't going anywhere
Run 'round the town
singing your blues
I know you ain't going anywhere
You have always been
a good friend of mine
but you're always saying farewell
and the only time that you are satisfied
is with your feet in the wishing well
Throw down your gun
you might shoot yourself
or is that what you are tryin' to do
put up a fight
you believe to be right
and someday the sun will shine through
You have always got
something to hide
something you just can't tell
and the only time that you are satisfied
is with your feet in the wishing well
Oh!
But I know what you're wishing for
Love and a peaceful world
Yeah
Love and a peaceful world
Oh! Yeah
Love and a peaceful world
You have always been
a good friend of mine
but you're always saying farewell
and the only time that you are satisfied
is with your feet in the wishing....well
Yes
I wish you well
I wish you well
everybody has a wish
everybody has a dream
I wish you well

Almost Medieval
Almost Medieval
Composer(s): Ian Craig Marsh - Philip Oakey
Performer(s): The Human League
There's something in your soul that makes me feel so old
In fact I think I've died about six hundred times
There's less of me now and more of me then
I'm moving back to the age of men
Jump off the tarmac there's no stagecoach speed limit
Outside the office hangs the man on the gibbet
Soft lenses
Grow to glasses
Small world
Dimly seen through cataracts
Your program
Newspaper
So they say
Rumour spread by word of mouth
Jump onto the escalator
Press the button on the lift
Raise the dust on old stair carpets
Endless treads like waves of regret
Now it seems I'm going madder
Falling off this rotting ladder
Soft lenses
Grow to glasses
Small world
Dimly seen through cataracts
Jump onto the escalator
Press the button on the lift
Raise the dust on old stair carpets
Endless treads like waves of regret
Now it seems I'm going madder
Falling off this rotting ladder
Your program
Newspaper
So they say
Rumour spread by word of mouth
Jump onto the escalator
Press the button on the lift
Raise the dust on old stair carpets
Endless treads like waves of regret
Now it seems I'm going madder
Falling through this rotting ladder
There's something in your soul that makes me feel so old
In fact I think I've died about six hundred times
There's less of me now and more of me then
I'm moving back to the age of men
Jump off the tarmac there's no stagecoach speed limit
Outside the office hangs the man on the gibbet
Jump off the tarmac there's no stagecoach speed limit
Outside the office swings the man on the gibbet

Wishing You Were Here
Wishing You Were Here
Composer(s): Peter Cetera
Performer(s): Chicago
Sleepless hours and creepless nights and far aways
Ooo ooo ooo, wishing you were here
Heaven knows and lord it shows when I'm away
Ooo ooo ooo, wishing you were here
Same old show in a different town on another day
Ooo ooo ooo, wishing you were here
Even though you're far away, you're on my mind
Ooo ooo ooo, wishing you were here
And I'd like to change my life, and you know I would
Just to be with you tonight, baby, if I could
But I've got my job to do, and I do it well
Change my life
So I guess that's how it is
Ooo ooo ooo, wishing you were here
Ooo ooo ooo, wishing you were here
On the road it's a heavy load, but I'll be by
Ooo ooo ooo, wishing you were here
Pay the price, make a sacrifice, and still I'll try
Ooo ooo ooo, wishing you were here

Wishing On The Moon
Wishing On The Moon
Composer(s): Dan Fogelberg
Performer(s): Dan Fogelberg
How many eyes will you sack in sorrow
Seeking to borrow some sight of your own?
How many lies will you have to suffer
Until you discover there's nobody home?
How many roads will you have to wander
How many dead end streets?
How many dreams will you have to squander
Dodging your own defeat?
Chorus:
Wishing on the moon tonight
There's not a lucky star in sight
Just wishing on the moon tonight
How many doors will have to open
Desperately hoping each one's the last?
How many more will you close behind you
Bitter and blind to the shadows you cast?
How many fools will you have to follow
How many wayward winds?
How many sins will you have to swallow
Until the truth sinks in... that you've been

Almost Lucy
Almost Lucy
Composer(s): Al Stewart
Performer(s): Al Stewart
Lucy works a different club every day
And 'tho she puts her mind to it
Her heart is never in it
She stays around just long enough to get paid
She won't pass the time with you
She can't stay a minute
And all these changing faces never bothered her at all
They just existed like a back-drop or a pattern on the wall
Lucy looks like someone who is waiting for a call
She knows he'll come, but noone else can hear at all
Lucy finds the dressing room and the bar
Hangs her clothes up, hopes tonight
The contract won't be broken
Well, they kick you round so much when you're not a star
Make you play all night just for a pittance or a token
But all these imperfections never bothered her at all
She says it sharpens your perception when your back's against the wall
There's something that enables her to rise above it all
To shrug it off, just when it seems to go too far
Hey, Hey, Hey, I think you almost, feel the pain comin' on inside
Hey, Hey, hey, I think you almost, feel it now and you don't why
You don't know why ooh
The last time that I saw her she had given up the chase
Moved away to California, got a suntan on her face
She said that life was just another time another space
It's over now, she learned a lot, it's not a waste
Hey, Hey, Hey, I think you almost, feel the pain comin' on inside
Hey, Hey, hey, I think you almost, feel it now and you don't why
You don't know why ooh
Hey, Hey, Hey, I think you almost, feel the pain comin' on inside
Hey, Hey, hey, I think you almost, feel it now and you don't why
You don't know why ooh

Wishing For Your Love
Wishing For Your Love
Composer(s): Horton Sampson
Performer(s): The Voxpoppers; The Clovers
Wishing for your love
Oh, I am wishing
Longing and yearning for your kiss
Wishing and praying
And longing for that heavenly bliss
Yes, I am hoping
Yes, hoping
That one day I'll be blessed
When you say I'm
Your only happiness
Wishing, wishing, wishing is all I do
Waiting, waiting, waiting in vain for you
If you'll say that you'll be mine
And make all my dreams come true
I'll be completely, forever yours
I pray that someday
You'll say what I long to hear
My dear, so I'll keep waiting
And wishing for your love
Wishing, wishing, wishing, wishing
Wishing for your love

Almost Like Being In Love
((French Version: C’est Peut-Être L’amour (by Nicole Croisille) - 1961))
Composer(s): Alan Jay Lerner - Frederick Loewe
First performance by: David Brooks & Marion Bell - 1947
Covered by multiple other artists
What a day this has been
What a rare mood I'm in
Why, it's almost like being in love
There's a smile on my face
For the whole human race
Why, it's almost like being in love
All the music of life seems to be
Like a bell that is ringing for me
And from the way that I feel
When that bell starts to peal
I would swear I was falling
I could swear I was falling
It's almost like being in love
