An Cailín Gaelach
An Cailín Gaelach
(Traditional)
Performer(s): Maighread Ní Dhomnaill
B'aite liom féin a bheith 'r thaoibh mhalaidh shléibhe
'Gus cailín Gaelach a bheith 'mo chóir
Bheinn dá bréagadh is a' teannadh léithe
'Gus dar liom féin 'riú gur dheas ar ndóigh
'G éirí domh féin ar maidin an lae ghil
'S mé ag gabháil fán choill chraobhaigh is mé ag seoladh bó
Tharlaigh domh 'n spéirbhean 'na suí ar a' léana
'S a fallaing léithe is í lán de chnódhann'
D'fhiafair mé daoithe go ciúin 's go céillí
An nglacfaidh tú póg uaim, a stór mo chroí?
D'fhoscail sí a béilín 'gus labhair sí
Béarla Sé dúirt sí: Pray, sir, and let me be
'S maith an airí ar na buaibh s sanntú
'Gus bheinnse dá seoladh amuigh sa lá
Im agus bainne ghil ar theacht an tsamhraidh
'S mar gheall ar bhólacht a phóstar mná

An Awful Thing To Waste
An Awful Thing To Waste
Composer(s): Rick Davies
Performer(s): Supertramp
You say that you could do with a break
Had about all you can take
You need to find somewhere you can run to
Somewhere a long way from here
Somewhere where the skies are all clear
Somewhere you can think all your thoughts through
It took a long time to make me understand
You gotta meet life and shake it by the hand
You gotta use your emotion
You talk a nice line to put your mind at ease
You want to sit back and count your memories
But that's no solution
I don't want to harp about it
But what you gonna do about it?
Look at how you're set in your ways
You used to be so willing to face
Any kind of problem before you
Life is not as long as you think
Open up your mind and you'll see
Don't destroy yourself I implore you
You've got a fine wife, a perfect family
You had it all planned to live so carefully
But where does it get you
They say the mind is an awful thing to waste
And that's a fact that you must come to face
What more can I tell you?
I don't want to harp about it
But what you gonna do about it?
You have everything that you need
You only have to try to succeed
And realize it's all waiting for you
Living life this way is a bust
If you have to suffer you must
Don't you know we want to applaud you

An Arm's Length From You
An Arm's Length From You
Composer(s): Jim Stewart - Wynn Stewart
Performer(s): Wynn Stewart
I'm just a smile away from crying
Whenever I'm this close to you
Just a touch away from heartache
Just an arm's length from you
I'm just a step away from sadness
A memory away from blue
A happy moment away from lonesome
Just an arm's length from you
Though I know it would be heaven
While my arms were holding you
I'm afraid you'd only leave me
I'm just a kiss from missing you
So close to something, right next to nothing
And you know how I love you
And you know you'll always find me
Just an arm's length from you

Thou shall hev a haddock when the boat comes in
Our Tommy's always fuddling

But he's kind to me
I hope he'll never fail
Thou shall hev a fishy on a little dishy
Thou shall hev a mackerel when the boat comes in

And thou, my bonny bairn
Will lik´t as well as I
Thou shall hev a fishy on a little dishy
Thou shall hev a salmon when the boat comes in

An Apple For The Teacher
An Apple For The Teacher
Composer(s): Johnny Burke - James V. Monaco
Performer(s): Linda Ware & Bing Crosby
and multiple other artists
An apple for the teacher
That seems the thing to do
Because I want to learn
About romance from you
An apple for the teacher
To show I'm meek and mild
If you insist on saying
That I'm just a problem child
You'll get all my attention
Your wish will be my rule
And maybe you'll be good to me
And keep me after school
An apple for the teacher
That's how I'd better start
Then after while you may give in
And let me bring my heart
An apple for the teacher
Will always do the trick
When you don't know
Your lesson in arithmetic
An apple for the teacher
Will meet with great success
If you forgot to memorize
The Gettysburg Address
A little bit of glamour
A charm that's cute and quaint
And he'll excuse your grammar
And believe you're what you ain't
You may be just a lemon
But he'll think you're a peach
Just bring an apple for the teacher
When he starts to teach

An Apple Blossom Wedding
An Apple Blossom Wedding
Composer(s): James Kennedy - Nat Simon
Performer(s): Sammy Kaye
and multiple other artists
We saw an apple blossom wedding
Underneath the May-time bloom
And at that apple blossom wedding
I fell in love with you
We realised where we were heading
Booked the little church and then
We planned an apple blossom wedding
When Spring came round again
So I waited for the flowers
Dreaming of a wedding ring
But I only found the showers
You took away the Spring
I saw the apple blossom wedding
From the balcony above
You had your apple blossom wedding
I lost my apple blossom love
So I waited for the flowers
Dreaming of a wedding ring
But I only found the showers
You took away the Spring
I saw the apple blossom wedding
From the balcony up above
You had your apple blossom wedding
I lost my apple blossom love

Jenseits Von Eden
Jenseits Von Eden
Performer(s): Nino de Angelo
Wenn selbst ein Kind nicht mehr lacht wie ein Kind
dann sind wir jenseits von Eden
Wenn wir nicht fühlen: die Erde sie weint
wie kein and'rer Planet
dann haben wir umsonst gelebt
Wenn eine Träne nur Wasser noch ist
dann sind wir jenseits von Eden
Wenn man für Liebe bezahlen muß nur
um einmal zärtlich zu sein
dann haben wir umsonst gelebt
Laß uns jeden Tag das Leben endlos spür'n
und uns niemals uns're Ehrlichkeit verlier'n
Wenn uns gar nichts mehr zusammenhält
verlöscht vielleicht das letzte Licht der Welt
Wenn unser Glaube nicht mehr siegen kann
dann sind wir jenseits von Eden
wenn jede Hoffnung nur ein Horizont ist
den man niemals erreicht
dann haben wir umsonst gelebt
Dann haben wir umsonst gelebt
Ich will mit Dir eine neue Liebe spür'n
((Neue liebe spür'n))
wenn wir uns auch in Gedanken nur berühr'n
Irgendwann muß ich für immer geh'n
dann will ich sagen: diese Welt war schön
Wenn selbst ein Kind nicht mehr lacht wie ein Kind
dann sind wir jenseits von Eden
Wenn wir nicht fühlen: die Erde sie weint
wie kein and'rer Planet
dann haben wir umsonst gelebt
Wenn eine Träne nur Wasser noch ist
dann sind wir jenseits von Eden
Wenn man für Liebe bezahlen muß nur
um einmal zärtlich zu sein
dann haben wir umsonst gelebt
Dann haben wir umsonst gelebt
Dann haben wir umsonst gelebt

An American Trilogy
Composer(s): Mickey Newbury
First release by: Mickey Newbury - 1971
Covered by multiple other artists
Oh I wish I was in the land of cotton
Old things they are not forgotten
Look away, look away, look away Dixieland
Oh I wish I was in Dixie, away, away
In Dixieland I take my stand to live and die in Dixie
Cause Dixieland, that's where I was born
Early Lord one frosty morning
Look away, look away, look away Dixieland
Glory, glory hallelujah
Glory, glory hallelujah
Glory, glory hallelujah
His truth is marching on
So hush little baby
Don't you cry
You know your daddy's bound to die
But all my trials, Lord will soon be over

Dance The Night Away With You
Dance The Night Away With You
Composer(s): Mac Rebennack; Doc Pomus
Performer(s): Dr. John
We could drink until we get real high
try to drink every bar dry
Taste so good that high price stuff
you never know when you've had enough
But there is nothin' I would rather do
than to dance, dance the night away with you
We could talk the whole darm night away
'cos we got so much to say
I could talk holes in your head
remember every word I said
But there is nothin' I would rather do
than to dance, dance the night away with you
We could climb a mountain high
or walk a valley deep
or we could get stoned
and fall off a lover's leap
We could talk the whole darn night away
'cos we got so much to say
I could talk holes in your head
remember every word I said
But there is nothin' I would rather do
than to dance, dance the night away with you
There is nothin' I would rather do
than to dance, dance the night away with you
There is nothin' I would rather do
than to dance, dance the night away with you
There is nothing I would rather do
than to dance, dance the night away with you

An Affair To Remember
An Affair To Remember
Composer(s): Harold Adamson - Leo McCarey - Harry Warren
Performer(s): Nat King Cole
Our love affair is a wondrous thing
That we'll rejoice in remembering
Our love was born with our first embrace
And a page was torn out of time and space
Our love affair, may it always be
A flame to burn through eternity
So take my hand with a fervent prayer
That we may live and we may share
A love affair to remember
Our love affair is a wondrous thing
That we'll rejoice in remembering
Our love was born with our first embrace
And a page was torn out of time and space
Our love affair, may it always be
A flame to burn through eternity
So take my hand with a fervent prayer
That we may live and we may share
A love affair to remember

Amusement Parks, U.S.A.
Amusement Parks, U.S.A.
Composer(s): Mike Love - Brian Wilson
Performer(s): The Beach Boys
Let's take your car and to amusement parks USA
At Palisades in Salisbury Parks the rolly coasters are flyin
At Euclid Beach on the flying turns I'll bet you can't keep her smilin'
Buy your girl a cotton candy while you're down on the ground
Then take her on the twirl-a-way and spin her around
Let's take your car and mess around at the park all day
The parachutes at Riverview Park will shake us up all day
And Disneyland and P.O.P. is worth a trip to L.A.
Watchin' girls in the air can really get you bad
And I'll bet the laughin' lady makes you laugh like mad
Let's pick up our friends and do amusement parks USA
Hurry, hurry, hurry folks step right up to the Beach Boy circus
The best little show in town
Hurry, hurry, hurry, it's only a dime folks, one thin dime, just one tenth of a dollar
Come on in and see Stella the snake dancer (Is it real?)
She walks, she talks, she wiggles on her belly like a snake
(She looks like a fake to me) (Let's go see her) (It costs too much)
Hurry, hurry, hurry folks, come on and see Stella
She shimmies, she shakes. . . .
You'll crash and burn in the bumper cars at Jersey's steel pier
You'll crack 'em up when you stand in front of all the crazy mirrors
At first you'll be a chicken at the jackhammer ride
But you'll do it with a girl sittin' right by your side
Let's take your car and mess around at the park all day

Dance The Night Away
Composer(s): Jack Bruce; Pete Brown
Performer(s): Jack Bruce
Gonna build myself a castle
High up in the clouds
There'll be skies outside my window
Lose these streets and crowds
Dance the night away
Will find myself an ocean
Sail into the blue
Live with golden swordfish
Forget the time of you
Dance the night away
Dance myself to nothing
Vanish from this place
Gonna turn myself to shadow
So I can't see your face
Dance the night away

Amused To Death
Amused To Death
Composer(s): Roger Waters
Performer(s): Roger Waters
Doctor Doctor what is wrong with me
This supermarket life is getting long
What is the heart life of a colour TV
What is the shelf life of a teenage queen
Ooh western woman
Ooh western girl
News hound sniffs the air
When Jessica Hahn goes down
He latches on to that symbol
Of detachment
Attracted by the peeling away of feeling
The celebrity of the abused shell the belle
Ooh western woman
Ooh western girl
And the children of Melrose
Strut their stuff
Is absolute zero cold enough
And out in the valley warm and clean
The little ones sit by their TV screens
No thoughts to think
No tears to cry
All sucked dry
Down to the very last breath
Bartender what is wrong with me
Why am I so out of breath
The captain said excuse me ma'am
This species has amused itself to death
Amused itself to death
Amused itself to death
We watched the tragedy unfold
We did as we were told
We bought and sold
It was the greatest show on earth
But then it was over
We ohhed and aahed
We drove our racing cars
We ate our last few jars of caviar
And somewhere out there in the stars
A keen-eyed look-out
Spied a flickering light
Our last hurrah
And when they found our shadows
Grouped around the TV sets
They ran down every lead
They repeated every test
They checked out all the data on their lists
And then the alien anthropologists
Admitted they were still perplexed
But on eliminating every other reason
For our sad demise
They logged the only explanation left
This species has amused itself to death
No tears to cry no feelings left
This species has amused itself to death
(Switch Channels)
(Alf Razzell:)
"Years later, I saw Bill Hubbard's name on the memorial to the missing at Aras(?)
And I...when I saw his name I was absolutely transfixed;
it was as though he was now a human being
instead of some sort of nightmarish memory of how I had to leave him, all those years ago
And I felt relieved, and ever since then I've felt happier about it
because always before, whenever I thought of him
I said to myself, 'Was there something else that I could have done?'
(Background:
"I'd rather die, I'd rather die...")
And that always sort of worried me
And having seen him, and his name in the register
- as you know in the memorials there's a little safe, there's a register in there with every name -
and seeing his name and his name on the memorial; it sort of lightened my...heart, if you like"
(Woman)
"When was it that you saw his name on the memorial?"
"Ah, when I was eighty-seven, that would be a year, ninete...eighty-four, nineteen eighty-four"
