Child Of The 50's
Child Of The 50's
Composer(s): Don Reid
Performer(s): The Statler Brothers
Don:
I grew up a child of the 50s
Learned to dance to the beat of rock & roll
Television was my friend
I Love Lucy, Rin Tin Tin
Kissed my first girl when I was 10 years old
Phil:
Took a turn for the worse in the 60s
Saw some real people die on TV
I learned love's hard cold facts
Paid my first income tax
One small step for the man I'm gonna be
I'll never feel bad 'bout the times that we had
I'll never look back in regret
The heaven you gave I will treasure and save
'Cause it might be as close as I get
Lew:
The 70s were 10 years of reruns
News of Watergate was nothin' new
The Democrats got it, we fell in love again
When Elvis died, we all knew that we could too
Harold:
Now I'm facin' the most of the 80s
Old enough to run for President
It's hard to think it's me, the father of 3
Oh America, I don't know where it went
I'll never feel bad 'bout the times that we had
I'll never look back in regret
The heaven you gave I will treasure and save
'Cause it might be as close as I get
The heaven you gave I will treasure and save
'Cause it might be as close as I get

Really Waltzing
Really Waltzing
Composer(s): Peter Myers; Ronnie Cass
Performer(s): Cliff Richard & Michael Sammes Singers
Cliff:
Is...this...me here, really waltzing?
Is this me here, being so square?
Although I know this kind of mu-sic
Makes me sick and you sick
Still I'm aware...
Yeah, it's me here, really waltzing
To a Viennese one-two-three
And if you'll pardon me the simile
I'm a Romberg and Frim'l-y (??)
How can this be me?
Bass Voice (mock Austrian accent):
I've got zee urge to vear short leather trousers
And dance za vay Strauss-es made their mous-es
Cliff joins in (with mock accent):
Give me some frau-ses dressed up in cute blouses
Helping their spouses tie bells on their cows-es
Cliff (with accent):
Oh... here I'm really waltzing
Though I shudder at the idea
And though I really should know better
Here am I in operetta
Really waltzing here
Cliff & Full Chorus:
And...so...we're here, really waltzing
As we take our partners and bow
We say "a plague upon the houses of all the three Strausses"
But, all the same, we must kow-tow
To the rhythm, catchy rhythm
For the violins play and we've got to go with 'em
Yes, we're waltzing, really waltzing
Look at us, really waltzing...now!

The Martins And The Coys
The Martins And The Coys
Composer(s): Alan Cameron - Ted Weems
Performer(s): Gene Autry
Gather 'round me children and I'll tell a story
Of the mountains and the days when guns was law
When two fam'lies got to feudin'
It was bound to end in shootin'
So just listen close, I'll tell you what I saw
Oh, the Martins and the Coys they were reckless mountain boys
And they took up family feudin' when they'd meet
They would shoot each other quicker
Than it took your eye to flicker
They could knock a squirrel's eye out at ninety feet
All this fightin' started out one sunday morning
When old grandpa Coy was full of mountain dew
Just as quite as a churchmouse, he stole in the Martin's henhouse
'Cause the Coys they needed eggs for breakfast, too
Oh, The Martins and the Coys, they were reckless mountain boys
Coz old grandpa Coy's gone where angels live
When they found him on the mountain
He was bleedin' like a fountain
'Cause they punctured him 'til he looked like a sieve
After that they started out to fight in earnest
And they scarred the mountains up with shot and shell
There was uncles, brothers, cousins
Why they bumped them off by dozens
Just how many bit the dust is hard to tell
Oh, The Martins and the Coys, they were reckless mountain boys
At the art of killin' they become quite deft
They all know'd they shouldn't do it
But before they hardly knew it
On each side they only had one person left
Now the sole remainin' Martin was a maiden
And as purty as a picture was this Grace
While the one survivin' boy was the handsome Henry Coy
And the folks all knew they'd soon meet face to face
Oh, The Martins and the Coys, they were reckless mountain boys
But their shootin' and their killin' sure played [hob]
And it didn't bring no joy to know that Grace and Henry Coy
Both had sworn that they would finish up the job
So, they finally met upon a mountain pathway
And young Henry Coy he aimed his gun at Grace
He was set to pull the trigger, when he saw her purty figure
You could see that love had kicked him in the face
Oh, The Martins and the Coys, they were reckless mountain boys
But they say their ghostly cussin' gives them chills
But the hatchet sure was buried, when sweet Grace and Henry married
It broke up the best durn feud in these here hills
You may think this is where the story ended
But I'm tellin' you the ghosts don't cuss no more
'Cause since Grace and Henry wedded
They fight worse than all the rest did
And they carry on the feud just like before

Child Of Mine
Composer(s): Gerry Goffin - Carole King - Bill Staines
Performer(s): Carole King
and multiple other artists
Although you see the world
Different that me
Sometimes I can touch upon
The wonders that you see
All the new colours
In pictures you've designed
Oh yes sweet darling
So glad you are a child of mine
Child of mine, child of mine
Oh yes sweet darling
So glad you are a child of mine
You don't need direction
You know which way to go
And I don't want to hold you back
I just want to watch you grow
You're the one who taught me
You don't have to look behind
Oh yes sweet darling
So glad you are a child of mine
Child of mine, child of mine
Oh yes sweet darling
So glad you are a child of mine
Nobody's gonna to kill your dreams
Or tell you how to live your life
The'll always be people
To make it hard for awhile
But you'll change their heads
When they see you smile
The times you were born in
May not have been the best
But you can live the times to come
Better than the rest
I know you will be honest
If you can't always be kind
Oh yes sweet darling
So glad you are a child of mine
Child of mine, child of mine
Oh yes sweet darling
So glad you are a child of mine

Performer(s): Chico Buarque
Estou vendendo um realejo
Quem vai levar
Quem vai levar
Já vendi tanta alegria
Vendi sonhos a varejo
Ninguém mais quer hoje em dia
Acreditar no realejo
Sua sorte, seu desejo
Ninguém mais veio tirar
Então eu vendo o realejo
Quem vai levar
Estou vendendo um realejo
Quem vai levar
Quem vai levar
Quando eu punha na calçada
Sua valsa encantadora
Vinha moça apaixonada
Vinha moça casadoura
Hoje em dia já não vejo
Serventia em seu cantar
Então eu vendo o realejo
Quem vai levar
Estou vendendo um realejo
Quem vai levar
Quem vai levar
Quem comprar leva consigo
Todo encanto que ele traz
Leva o mar, a amada, o amigo
O ouro, a prata, o praça, a paz
E ded quebra leva o harpejo
De sua valsa se agradar
Estou vendendo um realejo
Quem vai levar

The Marriage Machine
The Marriage Machine
Composer(s): Gilbert O'Sullivan
Performer(s): Gilbert O'Sullivan
There will be days
We'll be in each other's way
Down each others throats
Like you wouldn't believe
But then who was it said
Married life begins in bed
And ends up somewhat disparagingly
You say to me that you love me truly
I say to you likewise I feel just the same
But then who really knows
When two people get that close
That their feelings to each other
Won't change
I'll kiss you and then I'll kiss you once again
And pray to God once we get married there (there)
Just won't come a time
When we'll wish we'll have changed our minds
A problem to end all our dreams
I'll kiss you and then I'll kiss you once again
And pray to God once we get married there (there)
Just won't come a time
When we'll wish we'll have changed our minds
A problem to end all our dreams
So there will be days
We'll be in each other ways
Down each others throats
Just you wait and see
But don't be upset
After all that's what you get
When you become part of The Marriage Machine
Part of The Marriage Machine

Child Of Innocence
Child Of Innocence
Composer(s): Kerry Livgren
Performer(s): Kansas; Falconer
Sweet child of innocence
Living in the present tense
Father Time will take his toll
Rack your body and steal your soul
What became of all the years
Are you drowning in your tears
Who will catch you when you fall
Who will hear you when you call
I will comfort you, take your hand and see you through
I will take you through the door
Who do you think you are
Try to live forever and you won't get far
I wait behind your door
Makes no difference if you're rich or poor
Though you're weary and afraid
Still you try to flee my blade
Come and walk in my new land
If you'll only take my hand
In the image of those who have walked before me here
I am cast in the web of an ancient spell
I am holding on to life, I'm drifting in the stream
Everything's much clearer now
We live within a dream and never wake
Judge not by what you see
More than you can count are here with me
Give up your foolish pride
All that walk the earth have died!

Her Mantle So Green
Her Mantle So Green (aka The Mantle So Green)
(Traditional)
Performer(s): Sinead O'Connor
and multiple other artists
As I went out walking one morning in June
To view the fair fields and the valleys in bloom
I spied a pretty fair maid she appeared like a queen
With her costly fine robes and her mantle so green
Says I, "My pretty fair maid, won't you come with me
We'll both join in wedlock, and married we'll be
I'll dress you in fine linen, you'll appear like a queen
With your costly fine robes and your mantle so green"
Says she now, "You Young man, you must be excused
For I'll wed with no man, you must be refused
To the green woods I will wander to shun all men's view
For the lad that I love fell in famed Waterloo"
"O, then, if you won't marry, tell me your love's name
For I being in battle, I might know the same"
"Draw near to my garment and there will be seen
His name is embroidered on my mantle so green"
In raising her mantle there I did behold
His name and his surname in letters of gold
Young William O'Reilly appeared in my view
He was my chief comrade back in famed Waterloo
But when he was dying I heard his last cry
'If you were here, Lovely Nancy, contented I'd die'
Now Peace is proclaimed, and the truth I declare
Here is your love token, the gold ring I wear"
O, Nancy, dear Nancy, 'tis I won your heart
In your father's garden that day we did part
Now the wars are all over, no trouble is seen
And I'll wed with my true love in her mantle so green"

Child Of Flames
Child Of Flames
Composer(s): J.J. Maus
Performer(s): The Walker Brothers
you can't reveal
the future fades
the terror's near
the granite blades
something wakes
moves and shifts
the contacts made
the shot that lifts
how long
can you survive
with a child of flames
how long
can you survive
with a child of flames
through each time
the thing still moves
the golden axe
the pounding hooves
you hear the sound
the naked shakes
start to count
the balance breaks
how long
can you survive
with a child of flames
how long
can you survive
with a child of flames

Real Thing (Kim D)
Real Thing
Composer(s): Armstead
Performer(s): Kim D
A change has come over me
My heart beats impatiently
I just can’t wait ‘til tonight
'Cause I know he’s gonna hold me tight
And it looks to me like this could be
The real thing
Well, it looks to me like this could be
The real thing
Lately I’ve been acting strange
In my eyes there’s been a change
I just didn’t know how sweet he was
And I’m so glad to be in love
And it looks to me like this could be
The real thing
Well, it looks to me like this could be
The real thing
I keep walking round and round
Talking about the love I found
I get such a feeling
My head keeps reeling
I’m so absent-minded
But really I don’t mind it
‘Cause it looks to me like this could be
Well it looks to me like this could be
Well, it looks to me like this could be
The real thing
Every time you call me honey
I start to act then funny
When you hold me, I feel so good
And you know you kiss me like you should
And it looks to me like this could be
The real thing
Well, it looks to me like this could be
Well, it looks to me like this could be
Well, it looks to me like this could be
The real thing

The Man's Too Strong
The Man's Too Strong
Composer(s): Mark Knopfler
Performer(s): Dire Straits
I'm just an ageing drummer boy
And in the wars I used to play
And I've called the tune
To many a torture session
Now they say I am a war criminal
And I'm fading away
Father please her my confession
I have legalised robbery
Called it a belief
I have run with the money
And hid like a theif
I have re-written history
With my armies and my crooks
Invented memories
I did burn all the books
And I can still hear his laughter
And I can still hear his song
The man's too big
The man's too strong
Well I have tried to be meek
And I have tried to be mild
But I spat like a woman
And sulked like a child
I have lived behind walls
That have made me alone
Striven for peace
Which I have never known
And I can still hear his laughter
And I can still hear his song
The man's too big
The man's too strong
Well the sun rose on the courtyard
And they all did hear him say
'You always were a Judas
But I got you anyway
You may have got your silver
But I swear upon my life
Your sister gave me diamonds
And I gave them to your wife'
Oh father please help me
For I have done wrong
The man's too big
The man's too strong

Child Of Clay
Child Of Clay
Composer(s): Jimmy Curtiss - Ernie Maresca
Performer(s): Jimmie F. Rodgers; Marc Almond; P.J. Proby
Into the darkness he was sent by parents'
Who were ignorant hm, hm
Tied down to his mother's strings
Unable to be anything hm, hm
Puzzled by the things he hears
The father thinking work comes first
Ain't got the time to quench a thirst
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
Once he was a child, a beautiful child
A child of clay shaped and molded
Into what he is today
But who is to blame for this child of clay
Going out into the street at night
The answers he may meet hm hm
With sick and twisted minds
He shares the searching questions
His heart bears hm hm
And from the dregs
The answers find their way into his supple mind
In time the planted seeds will grow
Into a twisted vine below
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
And now his aimless days begin
To drift into sordid sin hm, hm
And soon his dislike turns to hate
As the stamp of life seals his fate hm, hm
and so the night conceals his name
And the days sleep off his shame
Deprived of love and wrought by fear
A feeling that the end is near
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no, no, no

Real Thing (Kalapana)
Real Thing
Performer(s): Kalapana
Here comes the night
Once again
I'll be feeling lonely
Oh, if only things could work out like you plan
Where can love be
Tell me why it's so hard to find somebody
Who will stand by me
And take the time to understand
And show me love again
I want the real thing
Or nothing at all
I need someone that I can be sure will catch me
If I should fall
Someone who'll be there when I call
Then I'll know that it's the real thing
I want the real thing
To warm me each night
Someone to love me over and over
Making the future bright
Somebody who will make it all right
Just give me the real thing
Where is the moon?
Won't it smile
On just one more dreamer
Let your beams come down
And fill my empty room
Here comes the night
But if there's still a chance
That love can find me
I'll be here
Crossing my fingers
I want to know for sure
That I can feel secure
Knowing I've found an everlasting love
And once I get that under control
Then I won't let go

Deedely dum dum dum
Deedely dum dum
(this is the mandolin playing the melody)
Here comes the man with the mandolin
(Mandolin playing melody again)
He'll cheer you up 'till your ship comes in
Loveable old fellow playing an old tune
He comes 'round every afternoon
Raggedy old minstrel, wearing a big grin
You'll love the man with the mandolin
All the kids foller, all the kids holler
To the windows above
Mamma throw a nickle and the man wil tick
A little tune we love
(mandolin plays melody again)
Open your heart let the music in
(mandolin again)
There goes the man with the mandolin

Child Of Babylon
Child Of Babylon
Composer(s): David Coverdale - Bernie Marsden
First release by: Whitesnake - 1981
When I heard the sound of thunder
On the day that I was born
I was blinded by the lighting
An' baptised in the storm
My father started crying
When he saw what he had done
But, my mother started praying
Have mercy on my son
He is a child of Babylon
I am a child of Babylon
Lord have mercy on a wayward son
Nowhere to hide, nowhere to run
I am a child
A child of Babylon
When I've fooled around so many times
When I've known it ain't been right
But, I paint it all in colours
When it really should be black and white
I sail my ship through muddy waters
Try to open every door
When I saw the seven wonders
It left me wanting more
I am a child of Babylon
Lord have mercy on a wayward son
Nowhere to hide, got no place to run
I am a child
A child of Babylon
On my day of judgement
I know how it will be
I'm prepared to meet my maker
With no hope for charity
I'll stand alone and pay the price
For everything I've done
'Cos there ain't guardian angel
For a child of Babylon
I am a child
A child of Babylon
I am a child of Babylon
Lord have mercy on a wayward son
Nowhere to hide, got no place to run
I am a child
A child of Babylon
Child of Babylon

Real Man
Real Man
Composer(s): Todd Rundgren
Performer(s): Todd Rundgren
When I was a child
I thought as a child
I spoke as a child
I didn't know better
But now I'm a man
I look like a man
I'm old as a man
And I should know better
Got my head in the sky
And my mind knows what it wants
But my body just drags me down
And my world is something you can't see
But it's still very real to me
You can find it in the whole where I keep my soul
There it is - way down inside me
There's a real man
Forget about my body and be a real man
I see with my heart
I hear with my heart
I feel with my heart
Sometimes it works better
And some so-called friends put me down
And they pity me for trying
Bad emotions push me around
But the vision shines on and on
It will shine when we all are gone
And I'd like to add a little sparkle while I'm here
Light it up - way down inside me
There's a real man
Forget about bad feelings and be real man
Some men's world is only hate and money
Afraid of everything and they laugh at nothing
And they only live to criticize
You can laugh at me now
But the time comes to everybody
And you must decide
When that day finally comes along
You might wish you'd been a little more strong
Then you'll wake up in the morning cryin'
"oh my God"
There it is - way down inside me
It's a real man
You got to grow up sometime
Be a real man
Suffer them slings and arrows
Be a real man
Don't sell yourself for nothing
Be a real man
Don't take no crap from no one
Be a real man
Get your trip together
Be a real man

Brave Strangers
Brave Strangers
((French Version: Deux Étrangers (Johnny Hallyday) - 1981))
Composer(s): Bob Seger
First release by: Bob Seger & the Silver Bullet Band - 1978
Nights were warm
Dreams were easy
No one standing overhead
Conversation didn't mean much
We were hungry but could not be fed
Radio blasting silly little love songs
We only listened for the beat
Taking our chances
Out there on the mean streets
Hiding in the shadows from the heat
We weren't lovers just brave strangers
As we fought and we tumbled
through the night
We were players not arrangers
As we jammed till the dawn's early light
Swimming in the big lake
Taking it easy
Taking any comfort we could find
Didn't need the real truth
Didn't need the meaning
Straight ahead ignoring every sign
Every sign
And oh I remember I know you do too
Oh that one evening
I know you do too
Baby
I know you remember it too
The moon was high
Moon was flying high
We were hiding in the backwoods
Hiding out in the backwoods
With the moon flying high
My hand was shaking
And you took my hand
And it went all right
And it went all right
It went all right
So we walked out hardly speaking
Disappearing in the night
Saw each other a few times after
But we never really got it right
We weren't lovers just brave strangers
As we rolled and we tumbled
through the night
We were players not arrangers
And we jammed till the
dawn's early light
