I Leave My Heart In An English Garden
I Leave My Heart In An English Garden
Composer(s): Harry Parr Davies; Christopher Hassall
Performer(s): Edmund Hockridge; William Rayner
Breezes in the long grass ruffling my hair
Hollyhock and bluebell scenting the air
Nothing in the world can ever be
Such a sweet memory
Nothing in the world was ever so fair
I leave my heart in an English garden
Safe where the elm and the oak stand by
Though the years rise and roll away
Still shall those watchmen stay
Bold in the blue of an English sky
I leave my dreams in an English garden
Safe where the breezes of England blow
When the highways are dark and drear
I know there’s sunshine here
Bright where the roses of England grow
I leave my heart in an English garden
Safe where the elm and the oak stand by
Though the years rise and roll away
Still shall those watchmen stay
Bold in the blue of an English sky
I leave my dreams in an English garden
Safe where the breezes of England blow
When the highways are dark and drear
I know there’s sunshine here
Bright where the roses of England grow

June Bride
June Bride
Composer(s): Gene DePaul; Johnny Mercer
Performer(s): Ferlin Husky; Virginai Gibson
Liza:
Oh, they say when you marry in June
You're a bride all your life
Sarah:
And the bridegroom who marries in June
Gets a sweetheart for a wife
Ruth:
Winter weddings can be gay
Like a Christmas holiday
Martha:
But the June bride hears the song
Of the spring that lasts all summer long
Dorcas:
By the light of the silvery moon
Home you ride, side by side
Liza:
With the echo of Mendelssohn's tune
Liza, Sarah & Alice:
In your hearts as you ride
All Brides:
For they say when you marry in June
You will always be a bride
Liza:
The day a maiden marries is a day she carries through the years
Martha & Dorcas:
The Church is full of flowers, bridal showers all passe
All Brides:
The groom's waiting at the altar, here comes the bride
They're each promising to love and obey
Liza:
There's madness celebrating
Every bridesmaid waiting
Just to see which one of them will catch the wedding bouquet
All Brides:
For they say when you marry in June
You will always, always, always, be a bride
Alice, Sarah & Dorcas:
In November, the snow starts to fly
Piling up, ankle-high
Liza, Martha & Ruth:
Come December, it's up to your knee
Still a bride's a bride-to-be
All Brides:
January, higher still
To the parlor window sill
Milly:
February finds a drift
And the storm that seems never to lift
Liza, Sarah & Dorcas:
March comes in like a lion, what else?
Still the snow never melts
Liza & Alice:
April showers will come, so they say
Liza:
But they don't, and it's May
All Brides:
You're about to forget the whole thing
All at once, one day, it's Spring

Such a feelin's coming over me
There is wonder in most ev'ry thing I see
Not a cloud in the sky
got the sun in my eyes
And I -- won't be surprised if it's a dream
Ev'rything I want the world to be
Is now coming true especially for me
And the reason is clear
It's because you are here
You're the nearest thing to heaven that I've seen
I'm on the -- top of the world lookin' down on creation and the only explanation I can find
Is the love that I've found, ever since you've been around
Your love's put me at the top of the world
Something is the wind has learned my name
and it's tellin' me that things are not the same
In the leaves on the trees
And the touch of the breeze, there's a pleasin' sense of happiness for me
There is only one wish on my mind
When this day is through I hope that I will find
That tomorrow will be just the same for you and me
All I need -- will be mine if you are here
I'm on the -- top of the world lookin' down on creation and the only explanation I can find
Is the love that I've found, ever since you've been around
Your love's put me at the top of the world

I Know You're Out There Somewhere
I Know You're Out There Somewhere
Composer(s): Justin Hayward
Performer(s): The Moody Blues
and multiple other artists
I know you're out there somewhere
Somewhere, somewhere
I know I'll find you somehow
Somehow, somehow
And somehow I'll return again to you
The mist is lifting slowly
I can see the way ahead
And I've left behind the empty streets
That once inspired my life
And the strength of the emotion
Is like thunder in the air
'Cos the promise that we made each other
Haunts me to the end
I know you're out there somewhere
Somewhere, somewhere
I know you're out there somewhere
Somewhere you can hear my voice
I know I'll find you somehow
Somehow, somehow
I know I'll find you somehow
And somehow I'll return again to you
The secret of your beauty
And the mystery of your soul
I've been searching for in everyone I meet
And the times I've been mistaken
It's impossible to say
And the grass is growing
Underneath our feet
I know you're out there somewhere
Somewhere, somewhere
I know you're out there somewhere
Somewhere you can hear my voice
I know I'll find you somehow
Somehow, somehow
I know I'll find you somehow
And somehow I'll return again to you
From the words that I remember
From my childhood still are true
That there's no so blind
As those who will not see
And to those who lack the courage
And say it's dangerous to try
Well they just don't know
That love eternal will not be denied
I know you're out there somewhere
Somewhere, somewhere
I know you're out there somewhere
Somewhere you can hear my voice
I know I'll find you somehow
Somehow, somehow
I know I'll find you somehow
And somehow I'll return again to you
Yes I know it's going to happen
I can feel you getting near
And soon we'll be returning
To the fountain of our youth
And if you wake up wondering
In the darkness I'll be there
My arms will close around you
And protect you with the truth
I know you're out there somewhere
Somewhere, somewhere
I know you're out there somewhere
Somewhere you can hear my voice
I know I'll find you somehow
Somehow, somehow
I know I'll find you somehow
And somehow I'll return again to you

Op Het Dak Van De Wereld
Op Het Dak Van De Wereld
((Adapted from: Top Of The World (The Carpenters - 1972))
((Finnish Version: Tänään Huipulla (Fredi) - 1974))
Composer(s): John Bettis - Richard Carpenter - Nelly Byl
Performer(s): Dana Winner - 1993
Ik heb vandaag zo'n wonderlijk gevoel
Slechts verliefden weten echt wat ik bedoel
Helder blauw is de lucht en ik straal van geluk
Want mijn leven heeft nu eindelijk een doel
Al m'n lege dagen zijn voorbij
En de zon schijnt dag en nacht alleen voor mij
Tot in 't diepst van mijn hart, dat op jou heeft gewacht
En nu dat je hier bent, voel ik me zo blij
'k Zit op het dak van de wereld en ik kijk naar beneden
Waar er niets of niemand mij nog raken kan
'k Zit nooit meer aan de grond, sinds de dag dat ik je vond
Zit ik heerlijk op het dak van de wereld
Alles wat ik droomde is gebeurd
En 't is net of alles zich daarom verheugd
Elke bloem, ieder blad lijkt zo glanzend en glad
En de toekomst heeft ee nieuwe roze kleur
Er is nog een ding dat ik vraag
Dat je morgen van me houdt zoals vandaag
Als je voor eeuweig lang dicht bij mij blijven kan
Is er echt niets anders meer dat ik verlang
'k Zit op het dak van de wereld en ik kijk naar beneden
Waar er niets of niemand mij nog raken kan
'k Zit nooit meer aan de grond, sinds de dag dat ik je vond
Zit ik heerlijk op het dak van de wereld

I Know You Rider (aka "Woman's Blues" or "Circle Round The Sun" or "I Know My Rider")
(Traditional)
Performer(s): Bob Coltman
and multiple other artists
Well I know you rider, gonna miss me when I'm gone
Well I know you rider, gonna miss me when I'm gone
You gonna miss your mama from rolling in your arms
Well I know my baby he's bound to love me some
Well I know my baby he's bound to love me some
He throws his arms around me like a circle round the sun
Well I laid down and I tried to take my rest
I laid down and I tried to take my rest
but my mind it just kept wandering like some wild geese in the west
I’m going down the road where I get better care
I’m going down the road where I get better care
I believe I’ll go babe, I just don’t feel welcome here
Just as sure as the bird fly in the sky above
Just as sure as the bird fly in the sky above
Life ain’t worth living if you ain’t with the man you love
The sun’s gonna shine in my back door some day
The sun’s gonna shine in my back door some day
The wind’s gonna rise and blow my blues away
To love you baby, it’s easy as falling off a log
To love you baby, it’s easy as falling off a log
Wanna be your baby but I sure won’t be your dog

Jumping Someone Else's Train
Composer(s): Michael Dempsey;
Robert Smith; Lol Tolhurst
Performer(s): The Cure;
and various other artists
Don't say what you mean
You might spoil your face
If you walk in the crowd
You won't leave any trace
It's always the same
You're jumping someone else's train
It won't take you long
To learn the new smile
You'll have to adapt
Or you'll be out of style
It's always the same
You're jumping someone else's train
If you pick up on it quick
You can say you were there
Again and again and again
You're jumping someone else's train
It's the latest wave
That you've been craving for
The old ideal
Was getting such a bore
Now you're back in line
Going not quite quite as far
But in half the time
Everyone's happy
They're finally all the same
'cause everyone's jumping
Everyone else's train
Jumping someone else's train
Jumping someone else's train
Jumping someone else's train

Some friends of mine, just the other night

Composer(s): Harry Warren; Mack Gordon
Performer(s): Glenn Miller
and multiple other artists
Why do robins sing in December
Long before the Springtime is due
And even though it's snowing, violets are growing
I know why and so do you
Why do breezes sigh ev'ry evening
Whispering your name as they do
And why have I the feeling stars are on my ceiling
I know why and so do you
When you smile at me
I hear gypsy violins
When you dance with me
I'm in heaven when the music begins
I can see the sun when it's raining
Hiding ev'ry cloud from my view
And why do I see rainbows when you're in my arms
I know why and so do you

Top Hat, White Tie And Tails
Top Hat, White Tie And Tails
Composer(s): Irving Berlin
First performance/First recording: Fred Astaire - 1935
Covered by multiple other artists
I just got an invitation through the mails
"Your presence requested this evening
It's formal, a top hat, a white tie and tails"
Nothing now could take the wind out of my sails
Because I'm invited to step out this evening
With top hat and white tie and tails
I'm putting on my top hat
Tying up my white tie
Brushing off my tails
I'm duding up my shirtfront
Putting in the shirt studs
Polishing my nails
I'm stepping out, my dear
To breathe an atmosphere
That simply reeks with class
And I trust that you'll excuse my dust
When I step on the gas
For I'll be there
Putting down my top hat
Mussing up my white tie
Dancing in my tails

I know who's going with me
I know who I love
And my dear knows who I'll marry
I know where I'm going
I know who's going with me
I know who I love
And my dear knows who I'll marry
I have stockings of silk
And shoes of bright green leather
Combs to buckle my hair
And a ring for every finger
I know where I'm going
I know who's going with me
I know who I love
And my dear knows who I'll marry
Feather beds are soft
And painted rooms are bonnie
But I would give them all
For my handsome winsome Johnny
I know where I'm going
I know who's going with me
I know who I love
And my dear knows who I'll marry
Some say he is poor
But I say he's bonnie
Fairest of them all
Is my handsome winsome Johnny

I know who I love
And my dear knows who I'll marry

Performer(s): The Rolling Stones
I was born in a cross-fire hurricane
And I howled at my ma in the driving rain
But it's all right now, in fact, it's a gas!
But it's all right
I'm Jumpin' Jack Flash
It's a gas!
Gas! Gas!
I was raised by a toothless, bearded hag
I was schooled with a strap right across my back
But it's all right now, in fact, it's a gas!
But it's all right
I'm Jumpin' Jack Flash
It's a gas!
Gas! Gas!
I was drowned, I was washed up and left for dead
I fell down to my feet and I saw they bled
I frowned at the crumbs of a crust of bread
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I was crowned with a spike right thru my head
But it's all right now, in fact, it's a gas!
But it's all right
I'm Jumpin' Jack Flash
It's a gas!
Gas! Gas!
Jumpin' Jack Flash, it's a gas

Now, what can you say - there isn't much to tell
But I'm going down hill, but I blame myself
I've been - jumpin' at shadows, thinkin' - about my life
Now, everybody - they point their hand at me
but I know I'm just a picture - of what I could have been
I've been jumping at shadows, thinkin' about my life
Now, God, have mercy - 'cause I think I'm going insane
The devil's been gettin' at me - he's got me down again
I've been - jumpin' at shadows
Thinkin', oh, about my life

Ruthless People
((aka Toothless People ("Weird Al" Yankovic) - 1986))
Composer(s): Daryl Hall - Mick Jagger - Dave Stewart
First release: Mick Jagger - 1986
Hey! Stand up! Ruthless people!
Hey! Stand up! Ruthless people! Real and evil!
They love the smell of the killing, the flesh
Gorging 'til they've had their fill of success
Dealing their mother to get into paradise
Pay Jesus special protection, and ain't it wise!
Hey! Stand up! Ruthless people!
So deceitful! I wanna tell you...
Hey! (Come on! ) Stand up!... Get on your feet!
Ruthless people! Real and evil! What I say...
Greedy forever and ever, success
Greedy and ever so clever, a mess
Given the right on to creep into paradise
They'll even blackmail St. Peter then pay the price!
Hey! Stand up!... Get on your feet!
Ruthless people! Greed and evil! Oh yes!
You can have it if you want it
It might take the rest of your life
If you want it you can have it
To a balancing act on a knife
You can have it if you want it
If you think it's cheap at the price
If you want it you can have it
But sweat your sweet soul out of lives!
Ruthless people!
Ruthless people!
Ruthless people!
Ruthless people!
You better watch your back now!
Hey!
Ruthless people!
Ruthless, ruthless, ruthless, ruthless people!
Hey! Stand up!
