The Morning: Another Morning


The Morning: Another Morning
Composer(s): Ray Thomas
Performer(s): The Moody Blues



Balloons flying
Children sighing
What a day to go kite flying
Breezy school
Away from school
Cowboys fighting out a duel

Time seems to stand quite still
In a child's world it always will

Fishes biting
So exciting
Lunchtime sounds so inviting
At the bill
He gets a thrill
Sitting, watching Bobby Quill

Time seems to stand quite still
In a child's world it always will

Yesterday's dreams
Are tomorrow's sighs
Watch children playing
They seem so wise

Mary Green
Today's a queen
One thousand dollies are her dream
In cotton frocks
And golden locks
Her palace is an orange box

Time seems to stand quite still
In a child's world it always will

Dear Christine


Dear Christine
Composer(s): John Woloschuk
Performer(s): Klaatu



'Twas one long year today
I left Bournemouth and you
Adventure, salt and spray
King's service I must do
But dear Christine I hold you dearly
If only you could hear me
I send my love sincerely
In hopes that we're not merely hanging on
At sea there's time for thought
My head was filled with you
With quill in hand I sought
To bridge the endless blue
But dear Christine I hold you dearly
If only you could hear me
I send my love sincerely
In hopes that we're not merely hanging on
On and on
And dear Christine I'm just a man who
Believes in dreams that come true
And if you feel like I do
When I return I'll find you hanging on

Another Meaning


Another Meaning
Composer(s): Joe Egan
Performer(s): Gerry Rafferty & Stealers Wheel



And when I take a look around me
I wonder how the sun's so sure
He knows the way

And why he doesn't stray
And if he spends the day
Looking for another meaning

Still don't know what I really believe in
Aha!
Will someone please put on the light
Make me feel all right
I've searched my head all night
Looking for another meaning

I've tried so hard to find
What I had on my mind
When I had no axe to grind
And everything was all right
All right!
All right!

And it looks like everyday
Gets a little bit harder
For me
Me
Me
Me

Dear Boy


Dear Boy Composer(s): Paul McCartney - Linda McCartney Performer(s): Paul McCartney & Linda McCartney and multiple other artists



I guess you never knew
Dear boy, what you had found
I guess you never knew
Dear boy, that she was just the cutest thing around
I guess you never knew what you had found,
Dear boy

I stepped in, my heart was down and out
But her love came through and brought me 'round
got me up and about

I guess you never saw
Dear boy, that love was there
And maybe when you look too hard
Dear boy, you never do become aware

I guess you never did become aware
Dear Boy
When I stepped in, my heart was down and out
But her love came through and brought me 'round
got me up and about

I hope you never know, dear boy
how much you missed
And even when you fall in love
Dear boy, it won't be half as good as this
I hope you never know how much you missed, dear boy

I stepped in, my heart was down and out
But her love came through and brought me 'round
got me up and about
Dear boy, how much you missed
Dear boy

Another Man's Woman


Another Man's Woman
Composer(s): Rick Davies - Roger Hodgson
Performer(s): Supertramp



If there's no way of knowing where's the answer
You should know if you need me by now
Tell me how

You saw me in the first place
Who d'you think I am
How can you be so two-faced
And tell me where I stand
Yeah, we've been here once before
I see you by the door
You said you knew an all night party
Yeah, you know you just can't lose
All you have to do is choose
Let me in on where your heart is

You ain't nothing but another man's woman
Living on another man's land
At night I hear a hound dog calling
Calling me a cheating man
I'll tell you something, I need good loving
But you don't understand
At night I see your cannonball coming
To blow me to the promised land

If there's no way of showing where your love lies
Is it me? Is it him? Or no-one?
What will be done?

About the mess you made me
Oh don't you give a damn
You're gonna drive me crazy
It's more than I can stand
'Round and 'round we always go
First it's yes and then it's no
Oh whatever keeps me staying?
I'm so helpless, can't you see?
Did you cast a spell on me
Say you love me please, I'm praying

You ain't nothing but another man's woman
Living on another man's land
At night I hear a hound dog calling
Calling me a cheating man
I'll tell you something, I need good loving
But you don't understand
At night I see your cannonball coming
To blow me to the promised land

Another Lullaby


Another Lullaby
Composer(s): Jimmy Webb
Performer(s): Art Garfunkel



Close your eyes my pretty child, though the night is dark and the wind is wild
I will stand beside your bed, tonight there is nothing you need fear or dread
You can sleep now, go to sleep, the rain falls and the windows weep
I'm standing by to sing a lullaby

Close your eyes my sister fair, though the snow is falling and the trees are bare
And I will hold you by the hand, tonight there is nothing you need try to understand
You can sleep now, go to sleep
The daytime's dying and the nighttime's so deep
I'm standing by to sing a lullaby

Close your eyes my mother wise when the waves are angry and the north train cries
I stopped those ghosts outside your door, Mama, don't worry about those ghosts no more
You can sleep now, go to sleep, tomorrow comes but it will keep
I'm standing by to sing a lullaby, another lullaby, another lullaby, another lullaby

Deal


Deal Composer(s): Jerry Garcia - Robert Hunter First release by: Grateful Dead - 1981 Covered by multiple other artists



Since it costs a lot to win, and even more to lose
You and me are bound to spend some time wondrin' what to choose
Goes to show, you don't ever know
Watch each card you play and play it slow
Wait until that deal come round
Don't you let that deal go down, no, no

I been gamblin' hereabouts for ten good solid years
If I told you all that went down it would burn off both of your ears
Goes to show you don't ever know
Watch each card you play and play it slow
Wait until that deal come round
Don't you let that deal go down, no, no

Since you poured the wine for me and tightened up my shoes
I hate to leave you sittin' there, composin' lonesome blues
Goes to show you don't ever know
Watch each card you play and play it slow
Wait until that deal come round, don't you let that deal go down

Wait until that deal come round, don't you let that deal go down
Wait until that deal come round, don't you let that deal go down
Don't you let that deal go down, don't you let that deal go down

Another Lonely Man


Another Lonely Man
Composer(s): Neil Innes
Performer(s): Neil Innes



I don't want to fall in love again
I know my heart could never stand the pain
Meanwhile I'll try to get by if I can
From now on I'll be another lonely man

I'd like to thank you
For the way you held my hand
That moonlit night
Down by the old Rio Grande
Now even Paris in the spring
Does not mean a thing
But the streetlights seem to understand

That I don't want to fall in love again
I know my heart could never stand the pain
Meanwhile I'll try to get by if I can
From now on I'll be another lonely man

When I come home at night
A little worse for drink
I see my empty room
and razor by the sink
But it's no use to me
It runs on batteries
And I got to get some new ones
I think

Oh I don't want to fall in love again
I know my heart could never stand the pain
Meanwhile I'll try to get by if I can
From now on I'll be another lonely man

I still remember the things we used to do
Mixing cocktails and sharing our shampoo
And that night you lost your key
You blamed it all on me
Because we were both dressed up as
kangaroos
Oh I don't want to fall in love again
I know my heart could never stand the pain
Meanwhile I'll try to get by if I can
From now on I'll be another lonely man
From now on I'll be another lonely man

Goin' Back


Goin’ Back
Composer(s): Gerry Goffin - Carole King
Performer(s): Dusty Springfield



I think I’m goin’ back
To the things
I learned so well
In my youth

I think I’m returning to
Those days
When I was young enough
To know the truth

Now there are no games
To only pass the time
No more colouring books
No christmas bells to chime

But thinking young
And growing older
Is no sin
And I can play
The game of life to win

I can recall the time
When I wasn’t ashamed
To reach out to a friend
And now I think I’ve got
A lot more than
A skipping rope to lend

Now there’s more to do
Than watch my sailboat glide
And everyday can be
My magic carpet ride
And I can play hide and seek with my fears
And live my days instead of counting my years

Let everyone debate the true reality
I’d rather see the world the way it used to be
A little bit of freedom’s
All we lack
So catch me if you can
I’m goin’ back

Dead Skunk


Dead Skunk ((Dutch Version: Een Witte Eend (Op Het Midden Van De Weg) (Ciska Peters & Ronnie Tober) - 1974)) Composer(s): Loudon Wainwright III First release by: Loudon Wainwright III - 1972 Covered by multiple other artists



Crossin' the highway late last night
He shoulda looked left and he shoulda looked right
He didn't see the station wagon car
The skunk got squashed and there you are!

You got yer
Dead skunk in the middle of the road
Dead skunk in the middle of the road
You got yer dead skunk in the middle of the road
Stinkin' to high Heaven!

Take a whiff on me, that ain't no rose!
Roll up yer window and hold yer nose
You don't have to look and you don't have to see
'Cause you can feel it in your olfactory

You got yer
Dead skunk in the middle of the road
Dead skunk in the middle of the road
You got yer dead skunk in the middle of the road
Stinkin' to high Heaven!

Yeah you got yer dead cat and you got yer dead dog
On a moonlight night you got yer dead toad frog
Got yer dead rabbit and yer dead raccoon
The blood and the guts they're gonna make you swoon!
You got yer
Dead skunk in the middle of the road
Dead skunk in the middle of the road
You got yer dead skunk in the middle of the road
Stinkin' to high Heaven!

C'mon stink!

You got it!
It's dead, it's in the middle
Dead skunk in the middle!
Dead skunk in the middle of the road
Stinkin' to high heaven!
All over the road, technicolor man!
Oh, you got pollution
It's dead, it's in the middle
And it's stinkin' to high, high Heaven!

Another Hit And Run


Another Hit And Run
Composer(s): Joe Elliott - Rick Savage
Performer(s): Def Leppard



Union Jack is back with a hole in his head
He's gettin' badly burned every time
He's laughin' at me and dancin' on my sneakers
And his sixties songs are blowin' up my speakers

I say you got no respect
Respect for authority
You're just playing your dirty tricks
And then come cryin' to me

Hit and run, hit and run
It's just a hit and run
Another hit and run

The bulldog lost his bite and his breath has gone bad
And the whole damn world is really laughin' mad

I say you got no respect
Respect for authority
You're just playing your dirty tricks
And then come cryin' to me

Hit and run, hit and run
It's just a hit and run
Another hit and run

Hit it!!
Oh bring it down
Oh you bring it down

I say you ain't got no respect
I say you ain't got no respect
No you ain't got no respect
And you hit me when I'm down

Hit and run, hit and run
It's just another hit and run
I said it's just another hit and run

Oh yeah, hit and run
Oh yeah, hit and run
Oh yeah, hit and run
Oh yeah, hit and run
Oh yeah, hit and run
It's just another hit and run
Hit and run

Dead Presidents


Dead Presidents Composer(s): Billy "The Kid" Emerson - Willie Dixon First release by: Little Walter - 1964 Covered by multiple other artists



Them dead presidents
Them dead presidents
Well I ain't broke but I'm badly bent
Everybody loves them dead presidents

A little bit of Lincoln can't park the car
Washington he can't go too far
Jefferson is good, played the track
If you think you're gonna bring some big bitch back

Them dead presidents...

Hamilton on a ten can get you straight
But Jackson on a twenty is really great
And if you're talkin about a poor man's friend
Grant will get you out of whatever you're in

Them dead presidents...

A hundred dollar Franklin is really sweet
A five hundred McKinley is the one for me
If I get a Cleveland I'm really set
A thousand dollar Cleveland is hard to get

Them dead presidents...

Another Hand Shakin' Goodbye


Another Hand Shakin' Goodbye
Composer(s): Dallas Frazier
Performer(s): Jerry Lee Lewis



No matter who I'm dreaming with
Honey you start talking in my sleep
Then I wake up and start making up
A lie while you sleep
Like an old time friend I squeeze her hand
And I walk away unsatisfied
Another Try
Another Cry
Another Hand Shakin' Goodbye

I laughed a lot with Mary Ann
I cried with Melody
And Rose Marie was more than just a little close to Jerry Lee
I can't count the hearts I've stepped on
Because of loving you
Another Try
Another Cry
Another Hand Shakin' Goodbye

I laughed a lot with Mary Ann
I cried with Melody
Rose Marie was more than just a little close to Jerry Lee
Lord I can't count the hearts I've stepped on
Because of loving her
Another Try
Another Cry
Another Hand Shakin' Goodbye
Another Try
Another Cry
Another Hand Shakin' Goodbye
Have Mercy Baby ...

Dead Man's Curve


Dead Man's Curve Composer(s): Jan Berry - Roger Christian - Artie Kornfeld - Brian Wilson First release by: Jan & Dean - 1963 Covered by multiple other artists



I was cruisin' in my Stingray late one night
When an XKE pulled up on the right
He rolled down the window of his shiny new Jag
And challenged me then and there to a drag
I said "You're on buddy -- my mill's running fine
Let's come off the line now at Sunset and Vine
But I'll go you one better, if you've got the nerve
Let's race all the way -- to Dead Man's Curve"
(Dead Man's Curve) is no place to play
(Dead Man's Curve) you'd best keep away
(Dead Man's Curve) I can hear 'em say
"Won't come back from Dead Man's Curve"
The street was deserted late Friday night
We were buggin' each other while we sat out the light
We both popped the clutch when the light turned green
You shoulda heard the whine from my screamin' machine!
I flew past La Brea, Schwab's and Crescent Heights
And all the Jag could see were my six taillights
He passed me at Doheny then I started to swerve
But I pulled her out and there we were - at Dead Man's Curve
(Dead Man's Curve) is no place to play
(Dead Man's Curve...)
"Well, the last thing I remember, Doc
I started to swerve
And then I saw the Jag slide into the curve
I know I'll never forget that horrible sight
I guess I found out for myself that everyone was right"
Won't come back from Dead Man's Curve...
(Dead Man's Curve) is no place to play
(Dead Man's Curve) you'd best keep away
(Dead Man's Curve) I can hear 'em say
"Won't come back from Dead Man's Curve"
(Dead Man's Curve) is no place to play
(Dead Man's Curve) you'd best keep away
(Dead Man's Curve) I can hear 'em say
"Won't come back from Dead Man's Curve"

Another Girl


Another Girl
Composer(s): John Lennon - Paul McCartney
First recording/First release by: The Beatles - 1965



For I have got another girl, another girl

You're making me say that I've got nobody but you
But as from today well I've got somebody that's new
I ain't no fool and I don't take what I don't want
For I have got another girl, another girl

She's sweeter that all the girls and I've met quite a few
Nobody in all the world can do what she can do
And so I'm telling you this time you'd better stop
For I have got another girl

Another girl who will love me till the end
Through thick and thin she will always be my friend

I don't wanna say that I've been unhappy with you
But as from today, well I've seen somebody that's new
I ain't no fool and I don't take what I don't want
For I have got another girl

Another girl who will love me till the end
Through thick and thin she will always be my friend

For I have got another girl

Another girl who will love me till the end
Through thick and thin she will always be my friend

For I have got another girl

Dead Giveaway


Dead Giveaway Composer(s): Joey Gallo - Leon F. Sylvers III - Marquis Dair Performer(s): Shalamar



How long you gonna carry on
This one on one charade
Let's don't and then say we did
That's the game you like to play

We've been through this so many times
The end results always the same
I always end up complaining
When I've got myself to blame

You're just a dead giveaway
You'd think I'd learn to handle this by now
You're just a dead giveaway

Girl you can't deny it
(Even though you try)
You keep trying to hide it
(Baby we know why)

I get a call about 2am
Saying you don't want to be alone
Now I'm tired and half asleep
But emotions are just a little too strong

I figure that I'd call your bluff
Cause you want me to come on by
Girl you know it's your love I've always wanted
And this time I won't be denied

Cause you're a dead giveaway
Girl you want me like I want you
A dead giveaway

You're scared but you won't admit it
(Even though you try)
But tonight you're committed
(Baby we know why)

Cause you're just a dead giveaway

You're not that naive girl
(I'm finding out)
Is playing deceiver
(What you're all about)

Well now that you're serious
It's time to take off that disguise
You want more that mental stimulation
I can see it in your eyes

For years I've been your analyst
I've been as patient as I've been kind
For years you've played off believing
That I loved you for only your mind

'Cause you're a dead giveaway

I can tell by the look in your eye
That you're a dead giveaway

I'm finding out
What you're all about

You're just a dead giveaway

Another Door


Another Door
Composer(s): Carly Simon
Performer(s): Carly Simon



Some destination
A footstep in the sand
Some indication
A truth to understand
I'm going hunting
To find it if I can
But it might be just an arrow
To still some other plan

Hidden meanings and love's strange ways
Keep me looking for more and more
But all I find is that behind
Each new door is another door

Time's printed pages
Words you won't forget
go out and try to live them
you'll be an angel yet
I'm going hunting
I think I'll win the bet
But it might end up winning me sorrow
And leaving my soul in debt

Hidden meanings and love's strange ways
Keep me looking for more and more
But all I find is that behind
Each new door is another door

Dead Flowers


Dead Flowers
((Danish Version: Sig Farvel Sigøjner (Peter Belli) - 1971))
Composer(s): Mick Jagger - Keith Richards
First release by: The Rolling Stones - 1971
Covered by multiple other artists



Well, when you're sitting there
In your silk upholstered chair
Talking to some rich folks that you know
Well I hope you won't see me
In my ragged company
You know I could never be alone

Take me down little Susie, take me down
I know you think you're the Queen of the Underground
And you can send me dead flowers every morning
Send me dead flowers by the mail
Send me dead flowers to my wedding
And I won't forget to put roses on your grave

Well, when you're sitting back
In your rose pink Cadillac
Making bets on Kentucky Derby Day
I'll be in my basement room
With a needle and a spoon
And another girl to take my pain away

Take me down little Susie, take me down
I know you think you're the Queen of the Underground
And you can send me dead flowers every morning
Send me dead flowers by the mail
Send me dead flowers to my wedding
And I won't forget to put roses on your grave

Take me down little Susie, take me down
I know you think you're the Queen of the Underground
And you can send me dead flowers every morning
Send me dead flowers by the US mail
Say it with dead flowers at my wedding
And I won't forget to put roses on your grave
No I won't forget to put roses on your grave
