I'm gonna pack up my pain

I Guess I'll Get The Papers (And Go Home)


I Guess I'll Get The Papers (And Go Home)
Composer(s): Hughie Prince; Dick Rogers; Hal Kanner
Performer(s): The Mills Brothers
and multiple other artists



Yes, I guess I'll get the papers and go home
Like I've been doin' ever since we've been apart
I get some consolation when I read
Of someone elses lonely heart, yes
I wonder if you get the papers too
And if you feel as melancholy as I do
Until you're in my arms again, never more to roam
I guess I'll get the papers and go home, yes

I guess I'll get the papers and go home
Like I've been doin' ever since we've been apart
Yes, I get some consolation when I read
Of someone elses lonely heart
Mmm, I wonder if you get the papers too (bah-ba-dee-do-do-do)
And if you feel as melancholy as I do
Baby, till you're in my arms again, never more to roam
I guess I'll get the papers and go home
Yes, I guess I'll get the papers and go home

Join Together


Join Together
Composer(s): Pete Townshend
Performer(s): The Who; Tony Stevens



When you hear this sound coming
Hear the drummer drumming
Won't you join together with the band
We don't move in any particular direction
And we don't make no collections
Won't you join together with the band

Do you really think I care
What you eat or what you wear
Won't you join together with the band
There's a million ways to laugh
Every one's a path
Won't you join together with the band

Everybody join together
Won't you join together
Come on and join together with the band
We need to join together
Won't you join together
Come on and join together with the band

You don't have to play
You can follow or lead the way
Won't you join together with the band
We don't know where we're going
But the season's right for knowing
Won't you join together with the band

It's the singer not the song
That makes the music move along
Won't you join together with the band
This is the biggest band you'll find
It's as deep as it is wide
Won't you join together with the band

Everybody join together ... etc.

Tomorrow's Clown


Tomorrow's Clown
Performer(s): Marty Wilde



In the evenin', when the lights are low
I hear him say he'll love you so
But don't believe him, he's leavin' town
And he'll make you, uum-uum, tomorrow's clown

Oh, can't you see, he's playing it cool
Don't let him make you such a fool
If you don't see how he'll let you down
You have no wish to be tomorrow's clown

Tomorrow's clown will be so lonely
Tomorrow's clown won't be so gay
Tomorrow's clown will love me only
But I might have flown away

You better take a listen, little dreamer
You won't be dreamin' long
He's gonna leave ya, he's gonna do you so wrong
And if you don't see how he'll let you down
You have no wish, you have no wish
To be tomorrow's clown

Performer(s): The Supremes; The Isley Brothers; The Valadiers



I guess I'll always love you
You've got the love I need
You've got the love I need

Open up your arms
And let me walk on in
Open up your heart
And let me live again

When you left you left with me
A dream no longer reality
I live the shadows of our past
With this love that's born to last

I guess I'll always love you
You've got the love I need
You've got the love I need

The only time I'm happy
Is when you're on my mind
Every day I live
All my love I give

I've been a thousand places
Seen your smile on a thousand faces
No matter what I try to do
I'm always dreaming of you

I guess I'll always love you
You've got the love I need
You've got the love I need

Every boy that passes by
I see your sparkle in his eye
Right away I stop and stare
Close my eyes and see you there

Whenever I feel almost free
Memories take hold of me
I love you now so much more
Than I ever did before

I guess I'll always love you
I guess I'll always love you
I guess I'll always love youI guess I'll always love you
You've got the love I need
You've got the love I need

Open up your arms
And let me walk on in
Open up your heart
And let me live again

When you left you left with me
A dream no longer reality
I live the shadows of our past
With this love that's born to last

I guess I'll always love you
You've got the love I need
You've got the love I need

The only time I'm happy
Is when you're on my mind
Every day I live
All my love I give

I've been a thousand places
Seen your smile on a thousand faces
No matter what I try to do
I'm always dreaming of you

I guess I'll always love you
You've got the love I need
You've got the love I need

Every boy that passes by
I see your sparkle in his eye
Right away I stop and stare
Close my eyes and see you there

Whenever I feel almost free
Memories take hold of me
I love you now so much more
Than I ever did before

I guess I'll always love you
I guess I'll always love you
I guess I'll always love you

Johnny, Tu N'Es Pas Un Ange


Johnny, Tu N'Es Pas Un Ange
Italian Title: Caro John
Composer(s): Francis Lemarque; Les Paul
Performer(s): Edith Piaf;
and various other artists



Johnny, tu n'es pas un ange
Ne crois pas que ça m'dérange
Jour et nuit, je pense à toi
Toi, te souviens-tu de moi
Qu'au moment où ça t'arrange?
Et quand revient le matin
Tu t'endors sur mon chagrin
Johnny, tu n'es pas un ange!

Johnny! Johnny!
Si tu étais plus galant
Johnny! Johnny!
Je t'aimerais toujours autant

Johnny, tu n'es pas un ange
Ne crois que pas que ça m'dérange
Si tu me réveilles la nuit
C'est pour dire que tu t'ennuies
Que tu veux une vie de rechange
Mais, quand revient le matin
Tu t'endors sur mon chagrin
Johnny, tu n'es pas un ange!

Johnny! Johnny!
Si tu étais plus galant
Johnny! Johnny!
Je t'aimerais tout autant

Johnny, tu n'es pas un ange
Entre nous, qu'est-ce que ça change?
L'homme saura toujours trouver
Toutes les femmes du monde entier
Pour lui chanter ses louanges
Dès qu'il en sera lassé
Elles seront vite oubliées
Vraiment, vous n'êtes pas des anges

Johnny! Johnny!
Depuis que le monde est né
Johnny! Johnny!
Il faut tout vous pardonner

Ahhh! Johnny!...

Johnny Merci
Composer(s): Claude Moine; M. Shuman
Performer(s): Eddy Mitchell



J'étais heureux, heureux
Mon ciel était bleu
Oui mais voilà, tu as changé
J'en suis fâché
Dis-moi ce qui s'est passé
Qui a pu te transformer
Dis-moi ce qui se passe en toi
Quand tu rêves
Très souvent tu me dis: "Oh Johnny"
Mais mon nom c'est Eddy
Je ne sais plus quoi penser
Es-tu prête à me tromper
Dis-moi où est la vérité
Si ma confianc' en toi
Faiblit c'est que je pense
Que tu te joues de moi
Riant de mes avances
Si Johnny veut bien t'aimer
S'il peut te supporter
Va t'en sans perdre de temps
Bye !
Depuis qu'tu es partie
J'ai changé de vie
J'ai des nouvelle de toi
Car Johnny m'a écrit
Il va te laisser tomber
Il va bientôt te quitter
Oh Johnny tu m'as vengé, merci

Composer(s): Billy Idol - Mark Younger-Smith
Performer(s): Billy Idol



A time warp scene
A cy-fi story
A dirt coloured love
Hey hope for glory
I like to fight
I kill global oppression
If I quit, no hope of redemption

Blue eyes crying in the rain
For how long
Tomorrow people
I laugh tomorrow gone
For how long
Tomorrow people
Tomorrow people

Well you know I'm free on arrival
Left behind my babe, by guilt of survival
I don't know where I'm runnin' to
I lost my love, lost my hold
I lost my heaven too

Blue eyes crying in the rain
For how long
Tomorrow people
I laugh tomorrow gone
For how long
Tomorrow people

Blue eyes crying in the rain
For how long
Tomorrow people
I laugh tomorrow gone
For how long, soon come
Tomorrow people
Tomorrow people
Yah come on loud

Now my life is truly misspent
I said
I'm here to tell you, to tell you
That I won't repent
World War III
Death pain
It's fate lets do it again
Tomorrow man
Tomorrow people
Tomorrow man
Tomorrow people
Tomorrow man

A time warp scene
A ci-fy story (Tomorrow people)
A dirt coloured sky (Tomorrow people)
New hope for glory

I like to fight
I kill global oppression

When I quit, new hope for redemption
(Tomorrow people)

Blue eyes crying in the rain
Tomorrow people
I laugh tomorrow gone

Johnny, I Hardly Knew Ye


Johnny, I Hardly Knew Ye
(Traditional)
Performer(s): The Clancy Brothers;
and various other artists



While going the road to sweet Athy, hurroo, hurroo
While going the road to sweet Athy, hurroo, hurroo
While going the road to sweet Athy
A stick in me hand and a drop in me eye
A doleful damsel I heard cry
Johnny I hardly knew ye

With your drums and guns and drums and guns, hurroo, hurroo
With your drums and guns and drums and guns, hurroo, hurroo
With your drums and guns and drums and guns
The enemy nearly slew ye
Oh my darling dear, ye look so queer
Johnny I hardly knew ye

Where are your eyes that were so mild, hurroo, hurroo
Where are your eyes that were so mild, hurroo, hurroo
Where are your eyes that were so mild
When my heart you so beguiled
Why did ye run from me and the child
Oh Johnny, I hardly knew ye

Where are your legs that used to run, hurroo, hurroo
Where are your legs that used to run, hurroo, hurroo
Where are your legs that used to run
When you went for to carry a gun
Indeed your dancing days are done
Oh Johnny, I hardly knew ye

It grieved my heart to see you sail, hurroo, hurroo
It grieved my heart to see you sail, hurroo, hurroo
It grieved my heart to see you sail
Though from my heart you took leg-bail
Like a cod you're doubled-up head and tail
Johnny I hardly knew ye

With your drums and guns and drums and guns, hurroo, hurroo
With your drums and guns and drums and guns, hurroo, hurroo
With your drums and guns and drums and guns
The enemy nearly slew ye
Oh my darling dear, ye look so queer
Johnny I hardly knew ye

Ye haven't an arm, ye haven't a leg, hurroo, hurroo
Ye haven't an arm, ye haven't a leg, hurroo, hurroo
Ye haven't an arm, ye haven't a leg
Ye're an armless, boneless, chickenless egg
Ye'll have to put with a bowl out to beg
Oh Johnny I hardly knew ye

I'm happy for to see ye home, hurroo, hurroo
I'm happy for to see ye home, hurroo, hurroo
I'm happy for to see ye home
All from the island of Sulloon*
So low in flesh, so high in bone
Oh Johnny I hardly knew ye

But sad as it is to see you so, hurroo, hurroo
But sad as it is to see you so, hurroo, hurroo
But sad as it is to see you so
And I think of you now as an object of woe
Your Peggy'll still keep ye on as her beau
Johnny, I hardly knew ye

With your drums and guns and drums and guns, hurroo, hurroo
With your drums and guns and drums and guns, hurroo, hurroo
With your drums and guns and drums and guns
The enemy never slew ye
Oh my darling dear, ye look so queer
Johnny I hardly knew ye

I Gotta Get Drunk


I Gotta Get Drunk
Composer(s): Willie Nelson
First release by: Willie Nelson - 1970
Covered by multiple other artists



Well I gotta get drunk and I sure do dread it
'Cause I know just what I'm gonna do
I'll start to spend my money
Callin' everybody honey
And wind up singin' the blues
I'll spend my whole paycheck on some old wreck
And brother I can name you a few

Well I gotta get drunk I just can't stay sober
There's a lot of good people in town who wanna hear me holler
See me spend my dollars
and I wouldn't think of lettin' `em down

There's a lot of doctors that tell me
I better start slowin' it down
But there's more old drunks than there are old doctors
So I think that I'll have another round!

Johnny Will
Composer(s): Frederick K. Tobias; Paul Evans
Performer(s): Pat Boone; Paul Evans



I gotta get some money and get it right away
Because my baby she gave me the word today
She's tired of sittin' home each night, she says she's had her fill
And if I don't take her to the dance next week, Johnny will

I checked and found they're sellin' tickets at five bucks each
And all that kinda money ain't within my reach
But if I wanna be the guy who is her only thrill
I'd better take her to the dance next week or Johnny will

Oh, that Johnny, that no-good Johnny
He's been tryin' to steal my lovin' baby away
Sends her candy, sends her flowers
And I never saw her smile the way she smiled at him today

I tried to borrow it from my friends, but they said "no"
Still somehow, some way I just gotta get that dough
My future happiness depends on one ten-dollar bill
'Cos if I don't take her to the dance next week, Johnny will, Johnny will

Oh, that Johnny, that no-good Johnny
He's been tryin' to steal my lovin' baby away
Sends her candy, sends her flowers
And I never saw her smile the way she smiled at him today

I tried to borrow it from my friends but they said "no"
Still somehow, some way I just gotta get that dough
My future happiness depends on one ten-dollar bill
'Cos if I don't take her to the dance next week, Johnny will, Johnny will

Oh that Johnny, Johnny will, Johnny will…....

First release: The Beatles - 1966
Covered by multiple other artists



Turn off your mind, relax and float downstream
It is not dying
It is not dying
Lay down all thoughts, surrender to the void
It is shining, oh it is shining
That you may see the meaning of within
It is beginning, oh it is beginning
That love is all and love is everyone
It is knowing, oh it is knowing
And ignorance and hate may mourn the dead
It is believing, oh it is believing
So play the game, existence to the end
Of the beginning, of the beginning
Of the beginning, of the beginning...

They say we're young and we don't know
We won't find out until we grow
Well I don't know if all that's true
'Cause you got me, and baby I got you

Babe
I got you babe
I got you babe

They say our love won't pay the rent
Before it's earned, our money's all been spent
I guess that's so, we don't have a pot
But at least I'm sure of all the things we got

Babe
I got you babe
I got you babe

I got flowers in the spring
I got you to wear my ring
And when I'm sad, you're a clown
And if I get scared, you're always around

Don't let them say your hair's too long
'Cause I don't care, with you I can't go wrong
Then put your little hand in mine
There ain't no hill or mountain we can't climb

Babe
I got you babe

I got you to hold my hand
I got you to understand
I got you to walk with me
I got you to talk with me
I got you to kiss goodnight
I got you to hold me tight
I got you, I won't let go
I got you to love me so

I got you babe
I got you babe
I got you babe
I got you babe

Johnny The Fox Meets Jimmy The Weed


Johnny The Fox Meets Jimmy The Weed
Composer(s): Brian Downey;
Scott Gorham; Phil Lynott
Performer(s): Thin Lizzy; Mordred



Johnny the Fox he called to Jimmy the Weed
He said "Hey man, I know your name"
I seen you cruising with the low riders
Hanging out down on First street and Main

Tuned into and listen to the Hoodoo Rhythm Devils
Around the Bay
They've got some crazy DJs
Send you right out to heaven

Jimmy the Weed for greed was taken aback
Johnny the Fox you old sly cat
Cleverly the Fox concealed his stash
Crisp dollar bills leave no tracks

In the back of a black cadillac
The voodoo music travels
Down Skid Row only black men can go
The shady deal unravels

Johnny the Fox, hot to hustle
Jimmy the Weed won't use no muscle
that cat's so sly, slick and subtle
Johnny the Fox breaks out the bottle

Tuned into and listening to
The voodoo music travels
The beating drum for the lonely one
Sends you out to heaven

Tomorrow Mountain


Tomorrow Mountain
Composer(s): Duke Ellington - John Latouche
Performer(s): Lena Horne
and multiple other artists



Just across Tomorrow Mountain
There’s a happy city, they say
Where the people are grand and time is planned
So it’s Christmas every day

‘Neath the scotch and soda fountain
There’s a treat in store for us guys
Under cigarette trees, we’ll take our ease
While the cops fan off the flies

There you will be a lucky sinner
With no conscience for your guide
Each horse you pick will be a winner
And the doors of every bank are open wide

For across Tomorrow Mountain
There’s a life that‘s fancy and free
On a platinum street we’ll plant our feet
It’s the land that’s fair to see
Won’t you hurry there with me?

Just across Tomorrow Mountain
Every girl is Queen of the May
And the kitchens, I’m told
Are lined with gold
And there ain’t no bills to pay

Can’t you cross that distant mountain
Where it rains Chanel No.5?
And the gutters, I think, are paved with mink
And the diamond bushes thrive

Pigs trot around already roasted
Won’t you have a slice of ham?
Marshmallows bloom, already toasted
And the clouds are made of marmalade and jam

Can’t you see Tomorrow Mountain?
Can’t you watch it glimmer and glow?
It’s a wonderful town that’s upside-down
And it’s full of easy dough
Won’t you pack your bag and go?Just across Tomorrow Mountain
There’s a happy city, they say
Where the people are grand and time is planned
So it’s Christmas every day

‘Neath the scotch and soda fountain
There’s a treat in store for us guys
Under cigarette trees, we’ll take our ease
While the cops fan off the flies

There you will be a lucky sinner
With no conscience for your guide
Each horse you pick will be a winner
And the doors of every bank are open wide

For across Tomorrow Mountain
There’s a life that‘s fancy and free
On a platinum street we’ll plant our feet
It’s the land that’s fair to see
Won’t you hurry there with me?

Just across Tomorrow Mountain
Every girl is Queen of the May
And the kitchens, I’m told
Are lined with gold
And there ain’t no bills to pay

Can’t you cross that distant mountain
Where it rains Chanel No.5?
And the gutters, I think, are paved with mink
And the diamond bushes thrive

Pigs trot around already roasted
Won’t you have a slice of ham?
Marshmallows bloom, already toasted
And the clouds are made of marmalade and jam

Can’t you see Tomorrow Mountain?
Can’t you watch it glimmer and glow?
It’s a wonderful town that’s upside-down
And it’s full of easy dough
Won’t you pack your bag and go?
