Can You Feel What I'm Saying
Can You Feel What I'm Saying
Composer(s): Minnie Riperton - Richard Rudolph - Leon Ware
Performer(s): Minnie Riperton
First we learn how to care
Magical dreams, midnight summer air
Wouldn’t it be nice to find that some... warm... to share
What I care
Maybe someone to love for a lifetime
Oooh, I have love supreme
Mystical movements making me flow free
Slippin’ in between the stars we find that shine all the time
Now they’re yours
Now they’re mine
Now there’s someone to love for a life time
Ohh, can you feel what I’m saying
Touching you... touching... touching me
Can you feel what I’m saying
Touching you... touching... touching me

Father & Son
Father & Son
Performer(s): James Griffin
When I was a child
I was free runnin wild
And my mother said
Look what your father's done
You will not obey
Won't do nothin' I say
Then she shook her head
I was my father's son
Father and son
We were a lot like each other
Father and son
You know the blood is thicker than water
Night after night
My parents would tight
Till my mother said
Hush up you'll wake the kid
And then came the day when he just went away
And I sat and I cried
And wondered why he did
Father and son
We couldn't be together
Father and son
You know the blood is thicker than water
----- years later
But as I go wanderin' on
I still believe he'll come along
And we could talk as if nothin' were wrong
Of things that we done
Only to talk to him father to son

The Battle Of New Orleans
The Battle Of New Orleans ((aka The Battle Of Kookamonga (Homer & Jethro))
((Adapted from: The 8th Of January (Traditional))
Composer(s): Jimmie Driftwood
First release by: Jimmie Driftwood - 1958/1959
and multiple other artists
In 1814 we took a little trip
Along with Colonel Jackson down the mighty Mississip
We took a little bacon and we took a little beans
And we caught the bloody British in the town of New Orleans
We fired our guns and the British kept a'comin'
There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago
We fired once more and they began to runnin'
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
We looked down the river and we seed the British come
And there must have been a hundred of 'em beatin' on the drum
They stepped so high and they made their bugles ring
We stood behind our cotton bales and didn't say a thing
We fired our guns and the British kept a'comin'
There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago
We fired once more and they began to runnin'
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
Old Hickory said we could take 'em by surprise
If we didn't fire our muskets till we looked 'em in the eyes
We held our fire till we seed their faces well
Then we opened up our squirrel guns and gave 'em...
Well... we...
... fired our guns and the British kept a'comin'
There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago
We fired once more and they began to runnin'
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
Yeah they ran through the briars and they ran through the brambles
And they ran through the bushes where a rabbit couldn't go
They ran so fast that the hounds couldn't catch 'em
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
We fired our cannon till the barrel melted down
So we grabbed an alligator and we fought another round
We filled his head with cannonballs 'n' powdered his behind
And when we touched the powder off, the gator lost his mind
We fired our guns and the British kept a'comin'
There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago
We fired once more and they began to runnin'
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
Yeah they ran through the briars and they ran through the brambles
And they ran through the bushes where a rabbit couldn't go
They ran so fast that the hounds couldn't catch 'em
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico

Can You Feel The Love Tonight?
Can You Feel The Love Tonight?
Composer(s): Elton John - Tim Rice
First release by: Joseph Williams & Sally Dworsky - 1994
Covered by multiple other artists
There's a calm surrender to the rush of day
When the heat of a rolling wind can be turned away
An enchanted moment, and it sees me through
It's enough for this restless warrior just to be with you
And can you feel the love tonight
It is where we are
It's enough for this wide-eyed wanderer
That we got this far
And can you feel the love tonight
How it's laid to rest
It's enough to make kings and vagabonds
Believe the very best
There's a time for everyone if they only learn
That the twisting kaleidoscope moves us all in turn
There's a rhyme and reason to the wild outdoors
When the heart of this star-crossed voyager beats in time with yours

Father And Daughter
Father And Daughter
Composer(s): Paul Simon
Performer(s): Paul Simon; Bobby Osborne
If you leap awake
In the mirror of a bad dream
And for a fraction of a second
You can't remember where you are
Just open your window
And follow your memory upstream
To the meadow in the mountain
Where we counted every falling star
I believe the light that shines on you
Will shine on you forever
And though I can't guarantee
There's nothing scary hiding under your bed
I’m gonna stand guard
Like a postcard of a Golden Retriever
And never leave till I leave you
With a sweet dream in your head
I'm gonna watch you shine
Gonna watch you grow
Gonna paint a sign
So you'll always know
As long as one and one is two
There could never be a father
Who loved his daughter more than I love you
Trust your intuition
It's just like going fishing
You cast your line
And hope you'll get a bite
But you don't need to waste your time
Worrying about the market place
Try to help the human race
Struggling to survive its harshest night
I'm gonna watch you shine
Gonna watch you grow
Gonna paint a sign
So you'll always know
As long as one and one is two
There could never be a father
Who loved his daughter more than I love you
I'm gonna watch you shine
Gonna watch you grow
Gonna paint a sign
So you'll always know
As long as one and one is two
There could never be a father
Who loved his daughter more than I love you

Composer(s): Abrams - Medley
Performer(s): Jimmy Charles
It's a hap-hap-happy time to be in my town
It's a hap-hap-happy time to be in your town
It's a snow-filled, mistletoe-filled holiday

There are jing-jing-jingle bells that ring on my street
There are jing-jing-jingle bells that ring on your street
Their's a joy-filled, toy-filled Santa on his way
That's Christmasville U.S.A.
It's a place where girls and boys are in their glory
And it tells each year that old familiar story
Of a very merry Yuletide here in my town
And a very merry Yuletide there in your town
So, by golly-gee, be good, be glad, be gay
That's Christmasville
That's Christmasville
That's Christmasville U.S.A.

Fate Of A Fool
Fate Of A Fool
Composer(s): J.J. Cale
Performer(s): J.J. Cale
Spending my life in a cold hard bar-room
Drinking that long black whisky down
I play the guitar, for me it's a living
Well, I know, just a hanging-around
Dancing girls, oh, they drive me crazy
All they want is a fancy name
Don't you know is I might not make it
That's the fate of a fool and a guitar man
Yeah, been down to the palace of pleasure
Honky-tonk, where I come from
Smoke's so thick I can't imagine
Wine flows fast by the rule of a gun
One of these mornings it'll come up Sunday
I won't have a good time again
That time ain't now, it's a whole new dream
That's the fate of a fool and a guitar man
One more night, one more dollar
One more song, can you do it again
I don't know, I may not make it
That's the fate of a fool and a guitar man
That's the fate of a fool and a guitar man

((Adapted from: The 8th Of January (Traditional); The Battle Of New Orleans (Jimmie Driftwood) - 1958/1959))
Composer(s): Jimmie Driftwood
Performer(s): Homer & Jethro
In 1959 we took a little hike
With our scout master down to Lake Oneeganite
We took a little pizza and we took some saurkrauts
And we marched along together till we heard The Girl Scouts
We're the boys from Camp Kookamonga!
Our mothers sent us here for to study nature's ways
We learned to make sparks by rubbing sticks together
But if we catch the girls then we'll set the woods ablaze!
(And I was mad because me mother sent me up here! Ha-ha-ha!)
Well we crept up to the water and we see the girls a-swimmin'
There musta been 100 of them pretty young women!
They looked so fine even birds forgot to sing!
We lay down in the poison oak and didn't say a thing
We're the boys from Camp Kookamonga!
Our mothers sent us here for to study nature's ways
We learned to make sparks by rubbing sticks together
But if we catch the girls then we'll set the woods ablaze!
(And I was mad because me mother sent me up here! Ha-ha-ha!)
(Hey, will one of you fellas scratch my back?)
Well our counselor said we could take them by surprise
If we didn't say a word till we looked them in the eyes
We kept real still and we had our eyes aglued!
We saw how they were dressed they were swimming in the... wellll now!
We're the boys from Camp Kookamonga!
Our mothers sent us here for to study nature's ways
We learned to make sparks by rubbing sticks together
But if we catch the girls then we'll set the woods ablaze!
(And I was mad because me mother sent me up here! Ha-ha-ha!)
Well they ran through the briars and they ran through the brambles
And they ran through the bushes where a rabbit couldn't go!
They ran so fast even we couldn't catch them
From Lake Oneeganite all the way to Buffalo!
(Hey, fellers, wait for me!)
Well we ran right after them till everyone was pooped
So we rested for a moment and our forces we regrouped
Then we saw the girls behind some evergreens
Captured by a company of United States Marines!
We're the boys from Camp Kookamonga!
Our mothers sent us here for to study nature's ways
We learned to make sparks by rubbing sticks together
But if we catch the girls then we'll set the woods ablaze!
(And I was mad because me mother sent me up here! Ha-ha-ha!)
(Aww, them big guys get everything!)
Well they ran through the briars and they ran through the brambles
And they ran through the bushes where a rabbit couldn't go!
They ran so fast even we couldn't catch them
From Lake Oneeganite all the way to Buffalo!
A-rootie-toot-toot, a-rootie-toot-toot
A-we are the boys from the Boy Scout troop!
We don't smoke and we don't chew
And we don't go where the girls that do!...

Can We Still Be Friends?
Can We Still Be Friends?
Composer(s): Todd Rundgren
First release by: Todd Rundgren - 1978
Covered by multiple other artists
We can't play this game anymore
But can we still be friends
Things just can't go on like before
But can we still be friends
We had something to learn
Now it's time for the wheel to turn
Grains of sand, one by one
Before you know it, all gone
Let's admit we made a mistake
But can we still be friends
Heartbreak's never easy to take
But can we still be friends
It's so strange, sad affair
Sometimes seems like we just don't care
Don't waste time feeling hurt
We been through hell together
La La La La...
We awoke from our dream
Things are not always what they seem
Memories linger on
It's like a sweet, sad old song

Fate
Fate
Composer(s): Byron Gay
Since the world began
It seems that man, no matter what his lot
he lays the blame on fate
Health his wealth his fame
Disgrace or shame, it's all the same
He lays the blame upon his fate
All things small or great
Life or death its fate
Truth can never fail
It must prevail
in all we do we must be true or live a lie
Fate is all there is
It's your ideas, for what you think
Is what you are, the same as I
Think what love commands
And fate is in your hands
My fate is all that I am
My fate is the law above
When fate seems wrong, it's a sham
The law that is real is love
Fate is our love for each other
Love, as I learned from my mother
Fate is a love that is true
So I knew it was fate
when I first met you

The Battle Of Evermore
The Battle Of Evermore
Composer(s): Robert Plant - Jimmy Page
First release by: Led Zeppelin - 1971
Covered by multiple other artists
Queen of Light took her bow
And then she turned to go
The Prince of Peace embraced the gloom
And walked the night alone
Oh, dance in the dark of night
Sing to the morning light
The dark Lord rides in force tonight
And time will tell us all
Oh, throw down your plow and hoe
Rest not to lock your homes
Side by side we wait the might of the darkest of them all
I hear the horses' thunder down in the valley blow
I'm waiting for the angels of Avalon, waiting for the eastern glow
The apples of the valley hold
The seeds of happiness
The ground is rich from tender care
Repay, do not forget, no, no
Dance in the dark of night, sing to the morning light
The apples turn to brown and black
The tyrant's face is red
Oh the war is common cry
Pick up you swords and fly
The sky is filled with good and bad that mortals never know
Oh, well, the night is long the beads of time pass slow
Tired eyes on the sunrise, waiting for the eastern glow
The pain of war cannot exceed the woe of aftermath
The drums will shake the castle wall, the ring wraiths ride in black
Ride on
Sing as you raise your bow, shoot straighter than before
No comfort has the fire at night that lights the face so cold
Oh dance in the dark of night
Sing to the morning light
The magic runes are writ in gold to bring the balance back
Bring it back
At last the sun is shining
The clouds of blue roll by
With flames from the dragon of darkness, the sunlight blinds his eyes

Can We All Come Together
Can We All Come Together
Composer(s): Randy Bachman
Performer(s): Bachman-Turner Overdrive
You are what you are
I am what I am
Can we all come together
With some kind of plan
I want you to laugh
But you want me to cry
Can we all come together
Hey, why don't we try
Can we all come together
Can we reach across the sea
There are worlds in between us
The sky is all we see
So let's all come together
Let's all come together
Why do we like different things
And we live different ways
Can we come together
For happier days
I want you to smile
But you let me down
Can we come together
Let's do it right now
I see you live for the sun
I live for the rain
Can we come together
Can we be the same
I want to settle down
But you want to run
Can we come together
Can we be like one

Fatalidad
Fatalidad
Performer(s): Miguel Mateos
Tengo lo sagrado
tengo lo prohibido
tengo lo que nadie ha tenido
Fatalidad, fatalidad...
no tengo tu amor
nada si no tengo tu amor
solo un corazón envuelto en llamas
Pilas de dinero
en el mundo entero
malgasto por un poco de alegría
Fatalidad, fatalidad...
no tengo tu amor
nada si no tengo tu amor
solo un corazón envuelto en llamas
Fatalidad, fatalidad...
no tengo tu amor
nada si no tengo tu amor
grande es mi pasión
y tu indiferencia
Fatalidad, llévate todo
si ella no está
serenidad, solo un poco
de serenidad.
Hablo con las brujas
consulto chamanes
para que me tengas en tus planes
Fatalidad, fatalidad...
no tengo tu amor
nada si no tengo tu amor
y no tengo tu amor
Tengo lo sagrado
tengo lo prohibido
tengo lo que nadie ha tenido
y no tengo tu amor...

The Battle
The Battle
Composer(s): Steve Katz - Dick Halligan
Performer(s): Blood, Sweat & Tears
While the king and queen lie sleeping
And their daughters smile so nice
Brothers wait through windows
And the peasants die for rice
And here I'm standing naked
Laughing madly at the sun
Though I wanted to sleep late today
The Battle's just begun
Oh, the Devil in all his wisdom
The father in all his grace
The servant's sons are washed in blood
And the man has run his race
A moving target looms behind the street where soldiers stood
Siren screams out desperately
Like only humans could
And standing on my balcony
I watch the battle run
Yes the war is never over
But the day is never done
Oh, the Devil in all his wisdom
the father in all his grace
The servant's sons are washed in blood
And the man has run his race
Six-white horses like the wind are running
Five are far behind
The captain lost his daughter
The sergeant lost his mind
The soldiers they still scream for riches
Even though they swore
That sons and daughters wouldn't live
Unless we won the war
Oh, the Devil in all his wisdom
the father in all his grace
The servant's sons are washed in blood
And the man has run his race

And we all know you ain't lying
And your boyfriend's name is eagle

Well your sister's got the feline touch, she touches up your mind
And your eagle lover likes his little bit of evil loving all the time

Because the eagle could say "yes" without a fight
Scratch out her eyes

Fat Old Sun
Fat Old Sun
Composer(s): David Gilmour
Performer(s): Pink Floyd;
Dogon; David Gilmour; Ox
When the fat old sun in the sky is falling
Summer evenin' birds are calling
Summer's thunder time of year
The sound of music in my ears
Distant bells, new mown grass
Smells so sweet
By the river holding hands
Roll me up and lay me down
And if you sit don't make a sound
Pick your feet up off the ground
And if you hear as the warm night falls
The silver sound from a time so strange
Sing to me, sing to me
When that fat old sun in the sky is falling
Summer evenin' birds are calling
Children's laughter in my ears
The last sunlight disappears
And if you sit don't make a sound
Pick your feet up off the ground
And if you hear as the warm night falls
The silver sound from a time so strange
Sing to me, sing to me
When that fat old sun in the sky is falling

Composer(s): Clarke - Ricks - Spencer
Performer(s): Slim Gaillard
Oh the Bartender is just like a mother
with his apron so clean and white
For he tries to make everyone happy
and he never looks for a fight
Whenever I'm sad and lonesome
he always gets me to smile
Oh the Bartender is just like a mother to me
and I am his favorite child
Oh the Bartender is just like a mother
and I know he's man's best friend
'Cause he passes the pretzels and peanuts
to the guy all alone on the end
Whenever my wife comes huntin'
he says "no, he hasn't been in"
Oh the Bartender is just like a mother to me
and I am his favorite kin
Oh the Bartender is just like a mother to me
for he knows when I've had enough
He refuses to give me another
when I ask for more of the stuff
He won't let me be forsaken
no matter how big my tab
Oh the Bartender is just like a mother to me
'cause the bar is owned by my Dad
Bartender, I surrender, bartender, some sender
Bartender is just like a mother to me
