Things We Said Today


Things We Said Today
((French Version: Ces Mots Qu’on Oublie Un Jour (Dick Rivers) - 1964))
Composer(s): John Lennon - Paul McCartney
First release by: The Beatles - 1964
Covered by multiple other artists



You say you will love me
If I have to go
You'll be thinking of me
Somehow I will know
Someday when I'm lonely
Wishing you weren't so far away
Then I will remember
The things we said today
You say you'll be mine, girl
Until the end of time
These days such a kind girl
Seems so hard to find
Someday when we're dreaming
Deep in love, not a lot to say
Then we will remember
The things we said today
Me, I'm just the lucky kind
Love to hear you say that love is luck
And, though we may be blind
Love is here to stay
And that's enough
To make you mine, girl
Be the only one
Love me all the time, girl
We'll go on and on
Someday when we're dreaming
Deep in love, not a lot to say
Then we will remember
The things we said today
Love me all the time, girl
We'll go on and on
Someday when we're dreaming
Deep in love, not a lot to say
Then we will remember
The things we said today

Things To Do In Denver When You're Dead


Things To Do In Denver When You're Dead
Performer(s): Warren Zevon



I called up my friend LeRoy on the phone
I said, Buddy, I'm afraid to be alone
I got some weird ideas in my head
About things to do in Denver when you're dead

I was working on a steak the other day
I saw Waddy in the Rattlesnake Cafe
Dressed in black, tossing back a shot of rye
Finding things to do in Denver when you die

You won't need a cab to find a priest
Maybe you should find a place to stay
Some place where they never change the sheets
And you just roll around Denver all day

LeRoy says there's something you should know
Not everybody has a place to go
And home is just a place to hang your head
And dream up things to do in Denver when you're dead

You won't need a cap to find a priest
Maybe you should find a place to stay
Some place where they never change the sheets
And you jut roll around Denver all day
You just roll around Denver all day

Things In Life


Things In Life
Composer(s): Don Stover
Performer(s): Don Stover
and multiple other artists



Look up, look down this lonesome road
Hang down your head and cry
For we often lose some things in life
That makes us wonder why

Oh the fairest love I ever had
Now sleeps beneath the clay
I live in hopes and dreams of her
That we'll meet again someday

I often sit and wonder why
Life has to be this way
But after all is said and done
I'm sure God has his say

I'd like to be a small part of life
With some few things to achieve
Just to know I've been a fruitless cause
Would give my poor heart grief

Now when they lower my casket down
In some lonesome grave to rest
And you take your last look at my face
You can say I done my best

Things I'd Like To Say


Things I'd Like To Say
Performer(s): New Colony Six



Baby is he looking after you
Is he showing you the same love
The warm love just like we knew
Baby, baby, it's you I'm thinking of
In the morning when I wake up
In the evening, it's you that I dream of
Sometimes love hurts and sometimes love's unkind
And sometimes you might feel blue
But remember now darlin
If his words are real
This will never, never happen to you
Baby, baby these things I'd like to say
I was hoping that with our love
We would get married some day

Things I Should Have Said


Things I Should Have Said
Composer(s): P.F. Sloan - Steve Barri
Performer(s): The Grass Roots



I didn't cry
I just stood and watched her say goodbye
She closed the do-or
And said "I don't want to see you anymore"

Things I should have said to her
That maybe would have changed her mind to stay
Things I should have said to her
Like "girl, I love you so let love find a way"

Was it that she
Just couldn't understand a man like me
Was I to blame
Did I leave too many things unexplained?

Things I should have said to her
That maybe would have changed her mind to stay
Things I should have said to her
Like "girl, I love you so let love find a way

Why didn't I try telling her
She was all I had
Why didn't I try telling her
Now she's gone and I feel oh so bad

I didn't cry
I just stood and watched her say goodbye
She closed the do-or
And said "I don't want to see you anymore"
Things I should have said to her (repeat)...

Things Goin' On


Things Goin' On
Composer(s): Gary Rossington - Ronnie Van Zant
Performer(s): Lynyrd Skynyrd



Have you ever lived down in the ghetto?
Have you ever felt the cold wind blow?
If you don't know what I mean
Won't you stand up and scream?
'Cause there's things goin' on that you don't know

Too many lives they've spent across the ocean
Too much money been spent upon the moon
Well, until they make it right
I hope they never sleep at night
They better make some changes
And do it soon

They're goin ruin the air we breathe
Lord have mercy
They're gonna ruin us all, by and by
I'm telling you all beware
I don't think they really care
I think they just sit up there
And just get high

You can bring joy
Like I never had
I'm gonna' be right near you

But you can be found
And I ain't lonely baby
You're always around
That's why

Things get better baby

Things get better baby

You stay on my mind

Things get better baby
When I'm with you
Things get better baby
When I'm with you

Things Fall Apart


Things Fall Apart
Performer(s): Jerry Harrison



You said that
You'd never be the one to break up
You felt you
Were too steady to fall down
You thought that
No matter what, you could take it
You thought that
Whatever happened we would make up
You felt that
You'd never be the one to fall down
You said that
You were so steady
You could never break down
You said that
You'd never let yourself get shook up
From the start
You'd never let yourself get worked up

Falling all apart
Breaking all the rules
Falling all apart
Breaking all the rules
Falling all apart
Breaking all the rules
Falling all apart

How does it feel to have lost your way?
How does it feel to have your walls collapse?
How does it feel to have nothing to say?
Current hits, won't quit, got to break the straps?

So convinced of your own point of view
In any event
You thought you'd know just what to do
As the world fell
You thought that you'd just, just be fine
That no matter what, you could always walk that line

So

How does it feel to have lost your way?
How does it feel to have your walls collapse?
How does it feel to have nothing to say?
Current hits, won't quit, got to break the straps?

How does it feel?...

Things Behind The Sun


Things Behind The Sun
Composer(s): Nick Drake
First release by: Nick Drake - 1972
Covered by multiple other artists



Please beware of them that stare
They'll only smile to see you while
Your time away
And once you've seen what they have been
To win the earth just won't seem worth
Your night or your day
Who'll hear what I say
Look around you find the ground
Is not so far from where you are
But not too wise
For down below they never grow
They're always tired and charms are hired
From out of their eyes
Never surprise

Take your time and you'll be fine
And say a prayer for people there
Who live on the floor
And if you see what's meant to be
Don't name the day or try to say
It happened before

Don't be shy you learn to fly
And see the sun when day is done
If only you see
Just what you are beneath a star
That came to stay one rainy day
In autumn for free
Yes, be what you'll be
Please beware of them that stare
They'll only smile to see you while
Your time away
And once you've seen what they have been
To win the earth just won't seem worth
Your night or your day
Who'll hear what I say

Open up the broken cup
Let goodly sin and sunshine in
Yes that's today
And open wide the hymns you hide
You find reknown while people frown
At things that you say
But say what you'll say
About the farmers and the fun
And the things behind the sun
And the people round your head
Who say everything's been said
And the movement in your brain
Sends you out into the rain

Things Are Changing


Things Are Changing
Composer(s): Brian Wilson - Phil Spector
Performer(s): Jay & The Americans
and multiple other artists



Girls, have you got the kind of man everyone looks up to?
Well, if you don't, listen; I'll tell you what to do
Get your man, take him by the hand, and come on here to me
I'm here to tell you about equal opportunity

There was a time when the world was fickle
And it may have been hard to succeed
Well, times have changed now
And school and training is what you really need
It doesn't matter who you may be
Everyone's equal with the same opportunity

Things are changing for the better
Things are changing for the better
Now's the time for you to better yourself

Life's got problems, but you can make it
And I'm gonna tell you why
Just like the early bird that catches the worm
You gotta get up, go out and try
Your race or color won't stand in your way
Don't wait for tomorrow; today is your day

Things are changing for the better
Things are changing for the better
Now's the time for you to better yourself

Good jobs are out there, just waiting to be found
But they won't come to you, uh uh!
You gotta get up and look around!

It doesn't matter who you may be
Everyone's equal with the same opportunity

Things are changing for the better
Things are changing for the better
Now's the time for you to better yourself

(repeat):
Things are changing for the better...
