Seasons In the Sun  (Original version)
Adieu, Emile, my trusted friend,
we've known each other since we were nine or ten.
Together we climbed hills and trees,
learned of love and A B Cs,
skinned our hearts and skinned our knees.
Adieu, Emile, it's hard to die
when all the birds are singing in the sky. Now
that the Spring is in the air
Pretty girls are ev'rywhere.
Think of me and I'll be there.

Chorus:
We had joy. We had sun.
We had seasons in the sun,
but the hills we would climb
were just seasons out of time.

Adieu, Papa, please pray for me.
I was the black sheep of the family.
You tried to teach me right from wrong.
Too much wine and too much song,
wonder how we got along.
Adieu, Papa, it's hard to die
when all the birds are singing in the sky.
Now that the Spring is in the air
Little children ev'rywhere.
When you see them, I'll be there.

Chorus

Adieu, Francoise, my trusted wife,
without you I'd have had a lonely life.
You cheated lots of times but then,
I forgave you in the end
though your lover was my friend.
Adieu, Francoise, it's hard to die
when all the birds are singing in the sky.
Now that spring is in the air
With your lovers ev'rywhere;
just be careful, I'll be there.

All our lives we had fun.
We had seasons in the sun,
but the hills we would climb
were just season out of time.

Adieu, Emile. Adieu, Papa. Adieu, Francoise.

All our lives, we had fun.
We had seasons in the sun,
but the hills that we climbed
were just seasons out of time.
All our lives, we had fun.
We had seasons in the sun,
but the stars we could reach
were just starfish on the beach.

Seasons In The Sun( Terry Jacks )

    Goodbye to you my trusted friend
    We've known each other since we were nine or ten
    Together we climbed hills and trees
    Learned of love and A B C's
    Skinned our hearts and skinned our knees.

    Goodbye my friend it's hard to die
    When all the birds are singing in the sky
    Now that the spring is in the air
    Pretty girls are everywhere
    Think of me and I'll be there

    We had joy we had fun
    We had seasons in the sun
    But the hills that we climbed were just seasons
    Out of time......

    Goodbye Papa please pray for me
    I was the black sheep of the family
    You tried to teach me right from wrong
    Too much wine and too much song
    Wonder how I got along.

    Goodbye Papa its hard to die
    When all the birds are singing in the sky
    Now that the spring is in the air
    Little children everywhere
    When you see them I'll be there.

    We had joy we had fun
    We had seasons in the sun
    But the wine and the song like the seasons
    Have all gone.

    We had joy we had fun
    We had seasons in the sun
    But the wine and the song like the seasons
    Have all gone.

    Goodbye Michelle my little one
    You gave me love and helped me find the sun
    And every time that I was down
    You would always come around
    And get my feet back on the ground.

    Goodbye Michelle it's hard to die
    When all the birds are singing in the sky
    Now that the spring is in the air
    With the flowers everywhere
    I wish that we could both be there

    We had joy we had fun
    We had seasons in the sun
    But the stars we could reach
    Were just starfish on the beach

    We had joy we had fun
    We had seasons in the sun
    But the stars we could reach
    Were just starfish on the beach

    We had joy we had fun
    We had seasons in the sun
    But the wine and the song like the seasons
    Have all gone

    All our lives we had fun
    We had seasons in the sun
    But the hills that we climbed were just seasons
    Out of time......

    We had joy we had fun
    We had seasons in the sun

Dead Man's Curve - Jan & Dean
(Christian/Berry/Kornfeld/Wilson)

I was cruisin' in my Stingray late one night
When an XKE pulled up on the right
And rolled down the window of his shiny new Jag
And challenged me then and there to a drag
I said, "you're on, buddy, my mill's runnin' fine
Let's come off the line, now, at Sunset and Vine
But I'll go you one better if you've got the nerve
Let's race all the way
To Dead Man's Curve"

Chorus:

Dead Man's Curve, it's no place to play
Dead Man's Curve, you must keep away
Dead Man's Curve, I can hear 'em say:
"Won't come back from Dead Man's Curve"

The street was deserted late Friday night
We were buggin' each other while we sat out the light
We both popped the clutch when the light turned green
You shoulda heard the whine from my screamin' machine
I flew past LaBrea, Schwab's, and Crescent Heights
And all the Jag could see were my six taillights
He passed me at Doheny then I started to swerve
But I pulled her out and there we were
At Dead Man's Curve

Partial chorus:

Dead Man's Curve, it's no place to play
Dead Man's Curve

Dramatic interlude:

Well - the last thing I remember, Doc, I started to swerve
And then I saw the Jag slide into the curve
I know I'll never forget that horrible sight
I guess I found out for myself that everyone was right

"Won't come back from Dead Man's Curve"

[repeat chorus to fade]

Paint It Black
By Jagger/Richards

I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes

I see a line of cars and they're all painted black
With flowers and my love both never to come back
I see people turn their heads and quickly look away
Like a new born baby it just happens ev'ry day

I look inside myself and see my heart is black
I see my red door and it has been painted black
Maybe then I'll fade away and not have to face the facts
It's not easy facin' up when your whole world is black

No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue
I could not foresee this thing happening to you

If I look hard enough into the settin' sun
My love will laugh with me before the mornin' comes

I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes

Hmm, hmm, hmm,...

I wanna see it painted, painted black
Black as night, black as coal
I wanna see the sun blotted out from the sky
I wanna see it painted, painted, painted, painted black
Yeah!

(Moody river, moody river)

CHORUS
Moody river, more deadly than the vainest knife
Moody river, your muddy water took my baby's life

Last Saturday evenin' came to the old oak tree
It stands beside the river where you were to meet me
On the ground your glove I found
With a note addressed to me
It read "Dear love, I've done you wrong"
"Now I must set you free"
"No longer can I live with this hurt and this sin"
"I just couldn't tell you that guy was just a friend"

CHORUS

I looked into the muddy water and what could I see?
I saw a lonely, lonely face just lookin' back at me
Tears in his eyes and a prayer on his lips
And the glove of his lost love at his fingertips

CHORUS

Endless Sleep
Artist: Jody Reynolds (1958)
words and music by Jody Reynolds and Dolores Nance

The night was black, rain fallin?down
Looked for my baby, she�s nowhere around
Traced her footsteps down to the shore
�fraid she�s gone forever more
I looked at the sea and it seemed to say
I took your baby from you away.? Stole her away from the angry sea
I looked at the sea and it seemed to say
You took your baby from me away.? 

"Endless Sleep" - Billy Idol

The night was black rain fallin' down
I looked my baby she's no where aroun'
Chased her footsteps down to the shore
Afraid she's gone for ever more

Well I looked at the sea, seemed to say
I took your baby from you away
I heard a voice cry in the deep
Come join me baby in my endless sleep

Why did we quarrel why did we fight
Why did I leave her alone last night
That's why her foot steps ran down to the sea
That's wy my baby has gone from me

Well I looked at the sea seemed to say
I took your baby from you away
Well I heard a voice cry in the deep
Come join me baby in my endless sleep
Endless sleep

Out in the water heart full of fear
There in the breaker I saw her near
Reached for my darlin' held her to me
Dragged her away from the angry sea

Well I looked at the sea seemed to say
I took your baby from you away
I heard a voice cryin' in the deep
I took your baby from the endless sleep
I grabbed my baby from the endless sleep

With You In Your Dreams

If I'm gone when you wake up
Please don't cry
And if I'm gone when you wake up
Please don't sigh
Don't look back at this time
as a time of heartbreak and distress
Remember me, remember me
'Cause I'll be with you in your dreams

Don't cry I'm with you
Don't sigh I'm by your side
Don't cry I'm with you
Don't sigh I'm by you side
And though my flesh is gone
I'll still be with you at all times
And though my body is gone
I'll be there to comfort you at all times

I don't want you to cry and weep
I want you to go on living your life
I'm not sleeping an endless sleep
'Cause in your heart you have all of our good times

El Paso
(written and performed by Marty Robbins)
from the 1959 Columbia LP, Gunfighter Ballads & Trail Songs, CL 1349

Out in the West Texas town of El Paso
I fell in love with a Mexican girl
Nighttime would find me in Rosa's cantina
Music would play and Feleena would whirl

Blacker than night where the eyes of Feleena
Wicked and evil while casting her spell
My love was deep for this Mexican maiden
I was in love, but in vain I could tell

One night a wild young cowboy came in
Wild as the West Texas wind
Dashing and daring, a drink he was sharing
With wicked Feleena, the girl that I loved

So in anger
I challenged his right for the love of this maiden
Down went his hand for the gun that he wore
My challenge was answered in less than a heartbeat
The handsome young stranger lay dead on the floor

Just for a moment I stood there in silence
Shocked by the foul, evil deed I had done
Many thoughts raced through my mind as I stood there
I had but one chance and that was to run

Out through the back door of Rosa's I ran
Out where the horses were tied
I caught a good one, it looked like it could run
Up on its back and away I did ride

Just as fast as
I could from the West Texas town of El Paso
Out to the badlands of New Mexico

Back in El Paso my life would be worthless
Everything's gone in life, nothing is left
It's been so long since I've seen the young maiden
My love is stronger than my fear of death

I saddle up and away I did go
Riding alone in the dark
Maybe tomorrow a bullet will find me
Tonight nothing's worse than this pain in my heart

And at last here
I am on the hill overlooking El Paso
I can see Rosa's cantina below
My love is strong and it pushes me onward
Down off the hill to Feleena I go

Off to my right I see five mounted cowboys
Off to my left are a dozen and more
Shouting and shooting I can't let them catch me
I have to make it to Rosa's back door

Something is dreadfully wrong for I feel
A deep burning pain in my side
Though I am trying to stay in the saddle
I'm getting weary, unable to ride

But my love for
Feleena is strong, and I rise where I've fallen
Though I am weary I can't stop to rest
I see the white puff of smoke from the rifle
I feel the bullet go deep in my chest

From out of nowhere Feleena has found me
Kissing my cheek as she kneels by my side
Cradled by two loving arms that I'll die for
One little kiss and Feleena, goodbye 

One of Us - Patti Page
Peak: #31  Lyrics by: ???
Year: 1960  Week peaked:

Two men have quarreled, so two men will fight 
Oh, stop them before its too late 
Lord, stop them from doing this terrible thing 
For the sake of two women who wait. 

Or one of us will weep tonight, 
One of wont sleep tonight, 
One of us will walk forth tomorrow, 
Out of a happy life, 
Into a lonely life, 
Wearing the black dress of sorrow 

Out is the street now they reach for their guns, 
Please stop them before its too late 
But a bullet rings out and the pain can be felt 
In ...

Gloomy Sunday
(Billie Holliday)

Sunday is gloomy,
my hours are slumberless.

Dearest the shadows
I live with numberless.

Little white flowers
will never awaken you.

Not where the black coach
of sorrow has taken you.

Leader Of The Pack - The Shangri-Las 

  (Spoken)
  Is she really going out with him?
  Oh, there she is. Let's ask her.
  Betty, is that Jimmy's ring you're wearing?
  Mm-hmm
  Gee, it must be great riding with him
  Is he picking you up after school today?
  Uh-uh
  By the way, where'd you meet him?

I met him at the candy store 
He turned around and smiled at me
You get the picture? (Yes, we see)
That's when I fell for (the leader of the pack)

My folks were always putting him down (down, down)
They said he came from the wrong side of town
(Whatcha mean when ya say that he came from the wrong side of town?)
They told me he was bad
But I knew he was sad
That's why I fell for (the leader of the pack)

I had to tell my Jimmy we're through
(Whatcha mean when ya say that ya better go find somebody new?)
He stood there and asked me why
But all I could do was cry
I'm sorry I hurt you (the leader of the pack)

  (Spoken)
  He sort of smiled and kissed me goodbye
  The tears were beginning to show
  As he drove away on that rainy night
  I begged him to go slow
  But whether he heard, I'll never know

Look out! Look out! Look out! Look out!

I felt so helpless, what could I do?
Remembering all the things we'd been through
In school they all stop and stare
I can't hide the tears, but I don't care
I'll never forget him (the leader of the pack)

(Gone..)
The leader of the pack - now he's gone...
The leader of the pack - now he's gone...
The leader of the pack - now he's gone...
The leader of the pack - now he's gone...

Teen angel, teen angel, teen angel, ooh, ooh
That fateful night the car was stalled upon the railroad track
I pulled you out and we were safe, but you went running back
CHORUS
Teen angel, can you hear me?
Teen angel, can you see me?
Are you somewhere up above
And I am still your own true love?
What was it you were looking for that took your life that night?
They said they found my high school ring clutched in your fingers tight
CHORUS
Just sweet sixteen, and now you're gone
They've taken you away.
I'll never kiss your lips again
They buried you today
CHORUS
Teen angel, teen angel, answer me, please

Blasphemous Rumours - Depeche Mode

Girl of sixteen, whole life ahead of her
Slashed her wrists, bored with life
Didn't succeed, thank the Lord
For small mercies

Fighting back the tears, mother reads the note againcandles burn in her mind
She takes the blame, it's always the same
She goes down on her knees and prays

I don't want to start any blasphemous rumours
But I think that God's got a sick sense of humor
And when I die I expect to find Him laughing

Girl of eighteen, fell in love with everything
Found new life in Jesus Christ
Hit by a car, ended up
On a life support machine

Summer's day, as she passed away
Birds were singing in the summer sky
Then came the rain, and once again
A tear fell from her mother's eye

I don't want to start any blasphemous rumours
But I think that God's got a sick sense of humor
And when I die I expect to find Him laughing

Billy Don't Be A Hero ( Bo Donaldson and the Heywoods )

    The marchin' band came down along Main Street
    The soldier blues fell in behind
    I looked across and there I saw Billy
    Waiting to go and join the line
    And with her head upon his shoulder
    His young and lovely fiancee
    From where I stood I saw she was cryin'
    And through her tears I heard her say

    Billy, don't be a hero, don't be a fool with your life
    Billy, don't be a hero, come back and make me your wife
    And as he started to go she said, Billy, keep your head low
    Billy, don't be a hero, come back to me

    The soldier blues were trapped on a hillside
    The battle raging all around
    The sergeant cried, We've got to hang on, boys!
    We've got to hold this piece of ground
    I need a volunteer to ride up
    And bring us back some extra men
    And Billy's hand was up in a moment
    Forgettin' all the words she said

    She said
    Billy, don't be a hero, don't be a fool with your life
    Billy, don't be a hero, come back and make me your wife
    And as he started to go she said, Billy, keep your head low
    Billy, don't be a hero, come back to me

    I heard his fiancee got a letter
    That told how Billy died that day
    The letter said that he was a hero
    She should be proud he died that way
I heard she threw that letter away ...

Last Kiss - J. Frank Wilson

[Chorus]
Oh where oh where can my baby be
The Lord took her away from me
She's gone to heaven soI got to be good
So I can see my baby when I leave this world

We were out on a date in my daddy's car
We hadn't driven very far
There in the road straight up ahead
A car was stalled the engine was dead
I couldn't stop so I swerved to the right
I'll never forget the sound that night
The screaming tires the busting glass
The painful scream that I heard last

[Chorus]

When I woke up the rain was pouring down
There were people standing all around
Somethign warm flowing through my eyes
But somehow I found my baby that night
I lifted her head she looked at me and said
Hold me darling just a little while
I held her close I kissed her our last kiss
I found the love that I knew i have missed
Well now she's gone even though I hold her tight
I lost my love my life that night

[Chorus]

Woh (x4)
Ohh (x4) 

Tell Laura I Love Her ( Ray Peterson )

    Laura and Tommy were lovers
    He wanted to give her everything
    Flowers, presents,
    But most of all, a wedding ring

    He saw a sign for a stock car race
    A thousand dollar prize it read
    He couldn't get Laura on the phone
    So to her mother, Tommy said

    Tell Laura I love her
    Tell Laura I need her
    Tell Laura I may be late
    I've something to do, that cannot wait

    He drove his car to the racing grounds
    He was the youngest driver there
    The crowed roared as they started the race
    Around the track they drove at a deadly pace

    No one knows what happened that day
    Or how his car overturned in flames
    But as they pulled him from the twisted wreck
    With his dying breath, they heard him say

    Tell Laura I love her
    Tell Laura I need her
    Tell Laura not to cry
    My love for her will never die

    Now in the chapel where Laura prays
    For her poor Tommy, who passed away
    It was just for Laura he lived and died
    Alone in the chapel she can hear him cry

    Tell Laura I love her
    Tell Laura I need her
    Tell Laura not to cry
    My love for her will never die

    Tell Laura I love her
    Tell Laura I need her
    Tell Laura not to cry
My love for her will never die

Patches - Dickie Lee

Down by the river that flows by the coal yards.
Stands wooden houses with shutters torn down
There lives a girl everybody calls Patches
Patches my darling of Old Shanty town

We plan to marry when June brought the summer
I couldn't wait to make Patches my bride
Now I don't see how that ever can happen
My folks say No, and my heart breaks inside

Patches oh what can I do
I swear I'll always love you
But a girl from that place would just bring me disgrace
So my folks won't let me love you

Each night I cry as I think of that shanty
And pretty Patches there watching the door
She dosn't know that I can't come to see her
Patches must think that I love her no more

I hear a neighbor tellin my father
He said a girl name of Patches was found
Floating face down in that dirty old river
That flows by the coal yards in Old Shanty Town

Patches oh what can I do
I swear I'll always love you
It may not be right But I'll join you tonight
Patches I'm coming to you.

Patches - Clarence Carter

SPOKEN:
I was born and raised down in Alabama
On a farm way back up in the woods
I was so ragged the kids would call me patches
Papa used to kid me about it
Of course deep down inside
He was thinkin he had done all he could do
My papa was a great old man
I can see him with a shovel in his hand
See, education he never had
But he did wonders when the time got bad
A little money from the crops he raised
Barely paid the bills we made
Oh life had kicked him down to the plow
When he tried to get up life would kick him back down
One day papa called me to his dyin bed
Put his hands on my shoulders And in tears he said
Patches, I'm depending on you son
To pull the family through My son, it's all left up to you

SPOKEN:
Two days later papa passed away
I became a man that day
So I told mama I was gonna quit school
But she said that was dad's strictest rule
So every morning 'fore I went to school
I fed the chickens and I chopped wood too
Sometimes I felt that I couldn't go on
I wanted to leave this but I wanted a home
But I always remembered what my daddy said
With tears in his eyes on his dyin bed
He said, "Patches, I'm depending on you son
I tried to do my best, It's up to you to do the rest

SPOKEN:
But then one day a strong rain came
And washed all the crops away
And at the age of thirteen I thought I was carrying
The weight of the whole world on my shoulders
And you know, mama knew what I was going through, Cause
Everyday I had to work the fields
Cause that's the only way we got our meals
You see, I was the oldest of a family
And everybody else depended on me
Every night I heard my mama pray
Lord, give him the strength to face another day
Though years have passed and all the kids are gone
I aimed to take my mama to a brand new home
God knows people that I shed a tear
My daddy's voice helped me through the years
Sayin, "Patches, I'm depending on you son
To pull the family through My son, it's all left up to you
I could still hear papa when he'd say
Patches, I'm depending on you son
I tried to do my best It's up to you to do the rest".

Running Bear
Artist: Johnny Preston (peak Billboard position # 1 in 1959-60)
Words and Music by J P Richardson (The Big Bopper)
background sounds by Richardson and George Jones)



On the banks of the river stood Runnin' Bear, young Indian brave
On the other side of the river stood his lovely Indian maid
Little White Dove was-a her name, such a lovely sight to see
But their tribes fought with each other so their love could never be

CHORUS
Runnin' Bear loved Little White Dove with a love big as the sky
Runnin' Bear loved Little White Dove with a love that couldn't die

He couldn't swim the raging river 'cause the river was too wide
He couldn't reach Little White Dove, waiting on the other side
In the moonlight he could see her blowing kisses 'cross the waves
Her little heart was beating faster, waiting there for her brave

CHORUS

Runnin' Bear dove in the water, Little White Dove did the same
And they swam out to each other through the swirling stream they came
As their hands touched and their lips met, the ragin' river pulled them down
Now they'll always be together in that happy hunting ground

CHORUS

(With a love that couldn't die)

Laurie (Strange Things Happen) - Dickey Lee

Last night at the dance I met Laurie
So lovely and warm
An angle of a girl
Last night I fell in love with Laurie
Strange things happen in this world

As I walked her home she said it was her birthday
I pulled her close and said
Will I see you anymore
And suddenly she asked for my sweater
And said that she was very very cold
I kissed her goodnight at her door and started home
Then thought about my sweater
And went right back and said
I knocked at her door
And a man appeared
I told him why i'd come
And he said

You're wrong son
You weren't with my daughter
How can you be so cruel
To come to me this way
My daughter left this world on her birthday
She died a year ago today

A strage force drew me to the graveyard
I stood in the cold
I saw the shadows gleam
And then I saw my sweater
Lying there upon her grave
Strange things happen in this world

Ode To Billie Joe
    ( Bobbie Gentry )

    It was the third of June, another sleepy, dusty Delta day
    I was out choppin' cotton and my brother was balin' hay
    And at dinner time we stopped and walked back to the house to eat
    And Mama hollered out the back door "y'all remember to wipe your feet"
    And then she said "I got some news this mornin' from Choctaw Ridge"
    "Today Billy Joe MacAllister jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge"

    And Papa said to Mama as he passed around the blackeyed peas
    "Well, Billy Joe never had a lick of sense, pass the biscuits, please"
    "There's five more acres in the lower forty I've got to plow"
    And Mama said it was shame about Billy Joe, anyhow
    Seems like nothin' ever comes to no good up on Choctaw Ridge
    And now Billy Joe MacAllister's jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge

    And Brother said he recollected when he and Tom and Billie Joe
    Put a frog down my back at the Carroll County picture show
    And wasn't I talkin' to him after church last Sunday night?
    "I'll have another piece of apple pie, you know it don't seem right"
    "I saw him at the sawmill yesterday on Choctaw Ridge"
    "And now you tell me Billie Joe's jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge"

    And Mama said to me "Child, what's happened to your appetite?"
    "I've been cookin' all morning and you haven't touched a single bite"
    "That nice young preacher, Brother Taylor, dropped by today"
    "Said he'd be pleased to have dinner on Sunday, oh, by the way"
    "He said he saw a girl that looked a lot like you up on Choctaw Ridge"
    "And she and Billy Joe was throwing somethin' off the Tallahatchie Bridge"

    A year has come 'n' gone since we heard the news 'bout Billy Joe
    And Brother married Becky Thompson, they bought a store in Tupelo
    There was a virus going 'round, Papa caught it and he died last Spring
    And now Mama doesn't seem to wanna do much of anything
    And me, I spend a lot of time pickin' flowers up on Choctaw Ridge

And drop them into the muddy water off the Tallahatchie Bridge

"The Kids Aren't Alright"
The Offspring

When we were young the future was so bright
The old neighborhood was so alive
And every kid on the whole damn street
Was gonna make it big and not be beat

Now the neighborhood's cracked and torn
The kids are grown up but their lives are worn
How can one little street
Swallow so many lives

Chances thrown
Nothing's free
Longing for
What used to be
Still it's hard
Hard to see
Fragile lives
Shattered dreams

Jamie had a chance, well she really did
Instead she dropped out and had a couple o' kids
Mark still lives at home cause he's got no job
He just plays guitar and smokes a lot of pot

Jay committed suicide
Brandon OD'd and died
What the hell is going on
The cruelest dream, reality

Chances thrown
Nothing's free
Longing for
What used to be
Still it's hard
Hard to see
Fragile lives
Shattered dreams

The Homecoming Queen has Got a Gun
Julie Brown
It was homecoming night at my high school
Everyone was there, it was totally cool
I was so excited, I almost wet my jeans
'Cause my best friend Debbie was homecoming Queen

She looked so pretty in pink chiffon
Riding the float with her tiara on
Holding this humoungous bouqet in her hands
She looked straight out of Disneyland
You know like the Cinderella ride? Definitely an E ticket
{E ticket}

The crowd was cheering, everyone was stoked
It was like the whole school was totally coked, or something
The band was playing "Evergreen"
When all of a sudden, somebody screamed,

"Look out! The homecoming Queen's got a gun!"

Everybody run, the Homecoming Queen's got a gun
Everybody run, the Homecoming Queen has got a gun

Debbie's smiling and waving her gun
Picking off cheerleaders one by one
Oh, Buffy's pompon just blew to bits
Oh no, Mitzi's head just did the splits
God, my best friend's on a shooting spree
Stop it, Debbie, you're embarrassing me!

Everybody run, the Homecoming Queen has got a gun
Everybody run, the Homecoming Queen has got a gun
Stop it, Debbie, you're making a mess
Powder burns all over your dress

An hour later the cops arrived
By then the entire Glee Club had died--No big loss
You should have seen what they brought to stop her
Tear gas, machine guns--even a chopper

"Throw down your gun and tiara and come out of the float."

Debbie didn't listen to what the cop said
She aimed and fired and now the math teacher's dead
Oh, it's really sad, but kind of a relief
I mean, we had this big test coming up next week.

Everybody run, the Homecoming Queen has a gun
Everybody run, the Homecoming Queen has got a gun
She's really having a blast
She's wasting half of the class

The cops fired a warning shot that blew her off the float
I tried to scream "Debbie!" but it stuck in my throat
She hit the ground and did a flip, it was real acrobatic
But I was crying so hard I couldn't work my Insta-matic

I ran down to Debbie
I had to find out
Why'd she do it?
What made her freak out?

I saw the bullet had got her right in the ear
It was then I knew the end was near

So, I ran down and I said, in her good ear
"Debbie, why'd you do it?"
She raised her head and said
"I-I did it for Jonny."

Jonny?
Well, like, who's Jonny?
Answer me Debbie, who's Jonny?
Does anybody here know Jonny?
Are you Jonny?
There was one guy named Jonny, but he was a total geek and always had food in his braces
Answer me Debbie who's Jonny?

Oh, god this is like that movie Citizen Kane
You know where you later find out Rosebud was the sled
And now we'll never know who Jonny is,
'Cause, like, she's dead

Everybody run, the Homecoming Queen has got a gun.... repeat to end...

 The Music of Romeo and Juliet 1968
"What is a Youth"

by Nino Rota, words by Eugene Walter
What is a youth? Impetuous fire.
What is a maid? Ice and desire.
The world wags on,
a rose will bloom....
It then will fade:
so does a youth,
so does the fairest maid.
Comes a time when one sweet smile
has a season for a while....
Then love's in love with me.
Some they think only to marry,
others will tease and tarry.
Mine is the very best parry.
Cupid he rules us all.
Caper the cape, but sing me the song,
Death will come soon to hush us along.
Sweeter than honey... and bitter as gall,
Love is a task and it never will pall.
Sweeter than honey and bitter as gall.
Cupid rules us all."


"A Time For Us" (Love Theme From Romeo and Juliet)

Facts:
- peak Billboard position # 96 in 1969
- competing instrumental version by Henry Mancini charted at # 1
- from the 1968 film produced by Franco Zeffirelli and starring 
  Leonard Whiting and Olivia Hussey
- Words by Larry Kusik and Eddie Snyder and Music by Nino Rota


A time for us, some day there'll be
When chains are torn by courage born of a love that's free
A time when dreams so long denied can flourish
As we unveil the love we now must hide

A time for us, at last to see
A life worthwhile for you and me

And with our love, through tears and thorns
We will endure as we pass surely through every storm
A time for us, some day there'll be a new world
A world of shining hope for you and me

For you and me

And with our love, through tears and thorns
We will endure as we pass surely through every storm
A time for us, some day there'll be a new world
A world of shining hope for you and me

A world of shining hope for you and me

Pinks Turns To Blue - Husker Du

going out each day to score 
she was no whore 
but for me celebrating every day 
the way she thought it shoud be 
and i don't know what to do 
now that pink has turned to blue 
she was always by my side 
and never tried to leave 
standing up for me and like a tree 
for what she believed 

Arthur - Hoodoo Gurus
(D. Faulkner / R. Radalj)

Arthur played the bass.
He had an angel's face.
Jiving with the Hoodoos, man,
No-one could take his place
No, No, No!
He needed extra cash
So he drove his brother's cab.
The day we heard the news, you know
It really hit us bad.
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah!
That was the day that Arthur died.

A black gelato van
Finished for the day,
Met with Arthur's taxi head-on
Down St. Kilda way
(By the Prince Of Wales).
That was the way that Arthur died
Upon the day that Arthur died.

Dig It Up - Hoodoo Gurus
(Dave Faulkner)
 
My girlfriend lives in the ground.
My friends ask why she's not around,
She won't come home.
I'm so alone (you'll never know!).
You can't bury love,
You've gotta dig it up.
Yeah, you've gotta live it up.

I take her flowers each day.
I place them over her grave.
I want her back
Because I look so bad, so bad in black
(Like a maniac)

You can't bury love,
You've gotta dig it up,
Yeah, you've gotta live it up.

Please, darling, come home to me.
Well, I'll make you so happy, you will see!
I'll paint your room
In pink and blue
(I'll even choose the colour scheme for you!).
You can't take away my love
I'll never give it up!
Yeah, I'm gonna dig it up.

(Don't!)
(Don't! I Don't want to know!)

My girlfriend lives in the ground.
My friends, you ask me why she's six feet down,
I can't tell you why 'cos if I even try
I'd fall down flat on my face
And I'd cry, "You can't take away my love!"
I'm gonna dig it up!
I'm gonna live it up, yeah,
I'm gonna dig it up, dig it up.
I'm never gonna stop
With that loving cup.
Gotta fill it up. 

Leilani - Hoodoo Gurus
(D. Faulkner / J. Baker / K. Rendall / R. Radalj)
 
Somewhere on a South Pacific island
Sits a young man staring at the surf.
His native girlfriend died a death quite violent
A tribal sacrifice made to the earth.

She was brown, her hair was black, her eyes were blue.
A chief's daughter, Leilani was her name.
She and her young man made a handsome two
But lava tore them both apart again.

Leilani, don't go to the volcano (he'd say).

They were saving for a little hut,
She collected sea-shells every day.
Everynight they'd share a cigarette
But The ancient, angry gods got in the way.

Leilani, don't go to the volcano (he'd plead).

(CEREMONY:)
Katoomba, Hey! Macumbah, Ho!
Umgawah! Hey! Ho! Hey-eh! Ah...
Leilani - crula-bula-ulladulla-wok-a-tai
Aba-laba-laba, Hut!

Leilani-nevageta-huta-tera-cota-tile
Aba-laba-laba Hut!
Umgawah!!!

Still the young man sits upon the beach,
He's staring misty-eyed out into space.
He's thinking about his girlfriend (of late, deceased),
At least her death had purpose; now his life is a waste!
Leilani, don't go to the volcano (he'd beg her) 

I Was A Kamikaze Pilot - Hoodoo Gurus
(Dave Faulkner)

I was a, was a kamikaze pilot
They gave me a plane - I couldn't fly it home.
Taught how to take off, I don't know how to land.
They say it doesn't matter and I just cannot understand.
I was a kamikaze pilot,
They gave me a plane - I couldn't fly it home.

Left my happy homeland in a Zero,
I got engine trouble so I couldn't be a hero
(Do you think I care?).
Now I'll keep my two feet on the ground
'Cos when you're in the clouds
Everybody tries to shoot you down
I was a kamikaze pilot,
They gave me a plane - I couldn't fly it home

On an island there ain't too much to do
Look after number one 'cos I think I can see
Lee Marvin chasin' after you.
I was a kamikaze pilot
They gave me a plane - I couldn't fly it home.

Cherry blossoms falling down.

Hayride To Hell - Hoodoo Gurus
(Dave Faulkner)

Charlie was a driver and he hardly spent a night at home.
He rarely saw his family, trucking loads those long weeks on the road.
And Charlie would drive
For miles and miles.

Charlie had a teenage daughter he thought of as a little girl
But one day he came home his little girl had grown-up news to tell.
"Oh Daddy", she cried "Oh Daddy, I tried but on the hayride how I fell
That was a hayride bound for Hell."

Now Billy Jackson was the father but he wasn't man enough to own.
And his daddy was the mayor and he said,
"Charlie, just leave my Billy-boy alone."
Billy had to hide
But there was guilt inside
And you can't hide from yourself.
That's just a hayride bound for Hell.
Charlie's daughter died whilst giving birth to Billy Jackson's child
And Billy Jackson ain't been seen around these parts for quite a while.
And Charlie would drive
For miles and miles
And his tail-lights say farewell
He's a hayride bound for Hell.

The Ledge - The Replacements

All eyes look up to me
High above the filthy streets
Heed no bullhorn when it calls
Watch me fly and die, watch me fall

I'm the boy they can't ignore,
For the first time in my life, I'm sure
All the love sent up high to pledge
Won't reach the ledge

Wind blows cold from the west
I smell coffee, I smell doughnuts for the press (on their breath?)
A girl that I knew once years ago
Is tryin' to be reached on the phone

I'm the boy she can't ignore,
for the first time in my life, I'm sure
All the love sent up high to pledge...

(Repeat)

Priest kneels silent, all is still
Policeman reaches from the sill
Watch him, watch him try his best
There'll be no medal pinned to his chest

I'm the boy they couldn't ignore,
for the first time in my life, I'm sure

(Repeat)

I'm the boy for the last time in my life

All the love that they pledge
For the last time will not reach the ledge
 

Richard Hung Himself - D.I.

Needles stabbed in to the walls
The executioner's curtain call
Fighting back he found his life drowning
And there was no way out
Cuz Richard hung himself, Richard hung himself
It happened just the other day
Jesus come and pushed him off the shelf
He thought he'd find a better way with slashing and stabbing
and maiming and ramming
The death through his black curtains
where clothes once lied
The roof kicked out and the rope tied to the rafters
A quick of the chair and it's all through
If Richie only knew
Cuz Richard hung himself, Richard hung himself
It happened just the other day
Jesus come and push him off the shelf
He thought he find a better way
With needles, injecting, and shooting subutanuly
His life suddenly flashed right before his eyes
What a swingin' guy
Turning grey with mold
This is when he died
Give it up, give it up, throw it all away
Boiling acid bath
Pulmonary wrath
Feel the pulling surge
It won't let you go
Throw it all away, throw it all away,
Throw it all a, throw it all a,
Throw it all away
Swinging in his room Richard won't come out to play
Cuz Richie hung himself the other day
Oh how the years seems to fly by
Is death the final high
Cuz Richard hung himself, Richard hung himself
It happened just the other day
Jesus come and push him off the shelf
He thought he'd find a better way with learning
and stabbing and ripping and stabbing
and treading and stabbing and shredding
and stabbing and ripping and tearing
and tacking and maiming
taking the body God gave to you
I gotta get out
What do I do? Die
Just to name a few
Richard hung himself
Cuz Richard hung himself
Richard hung himself
Cuz Richie swung himself
Richard hung himself
Richard strung himself
Richard hung himself
The needles stung himself
Richard hung himself
They pushed him of the shelf
Richard hung himself
Cuz Richard hung himself
Richard hung himself
Richard hung himself
Richard hung

People Who Died

By Jim Carroll

Teddy sniffing glue he was 12 years old
Fell from the roof on East Two-nine
Cathy was 11 when she pulled the plug
On 26 reds and a bottle of wine
Bobby got leukemia, 14 years old
He looked like 65 when he died
He was a friend of mine

Refrain:
Those are people who died, died
Those are people who died, died
Those are people who died, died
Those are people who died, died
They were all my friends, and they died

G-berg and Georgie let their gimmicks go rotten
So they died of hepatitis in upper Manhattan
Sly in Vietnam took a bullet in the head
Bobby OD'd on Drano on the night that he was wed
They were two more friends of mine
Two more friends that died / I miss 'em--they died

Repeat Refrain

Mary took a dry dive from a hotel room
Bobby hung himself from a cell in the tombs
Judy jumped in front of a subway train
Eddie got slit in the jugular vein
And Eddie, I miss you more than all the others,
And I salute you brother/ This song is for you my brother

Repeat Refrain

Herbie pushed Tony from the Boys' Club roof
Tony thought that his rage was just some goof
But Herbie sure gave Tony some bitchen proof
"Hey," Herbie said, "Tony, can you fly?"
But Tony couldn't fly . . . Tony died

Repeat Refrain:

Brian got busted on a narco rap
He beat the rap by rattin' on some bikers
He said, hey, I know it's dangerous,
but it sure beats Riker's
But the next day he got offed
by the very same bikers

Repeat Refrain; repeat song to Eddie

Give Us Your Blessings - The Shangri-las

Run, run, run,
Mary, run, run, run,
Jimmy, run, run, run,
Mary, run, run, run,

Mary and Jimmy were both very young
But as much in love
As two people could be
And all they wanted
Was to share that love eternally

They went to their folks they told them
That someday soon they'd be wed
Their folks just laughed
And called them kids
So Mary said

Give us your blessing
Please don't make us Run away
Give us your blessing
Say you'll be there on our wedding day

They wouldn't have laughed at Mary
If they could have seen through the door
But Jimmy was waiting in the car
While Mary begged once more

Give us your blessing
Please don't make us Run away
Give us your blessing
Say you'll be there on our wedding day

Well as they drove off they were crying
And nobody knows for sure
That, that's why they didn't see the sign
That read detour

The next day they found them
Mary and Jimmy were dead
And as their folks
Knelt beside them in the rain
They couldn't help but hear
The last words that Mary and Jimmy had said

Give us your blessing
Please don't make us Run away
Give us your blessing
Say you'll be there on our wedding day

Run, run, run,
Mary, run, run, run,
Jimmy, run, run, run,
Mary, run, run, run,

The Everly Brothers - Ebony Eyes

On a weekend pass I wouldn�t have had time
To get home and marry that baby of mine
So I went to the chaplain and he authorized
Me to send for my ebony eyes

My ebony eyes was coming to me
From out of the skies on Flight 1203
In an hour or two I would whisper "I do"
To my beautiful ebony eyes

SPOKEN
The plane was way overdue so I went inside to the airlines desk and I said "Sir, I
wonder why 1203 is so late?" He said "Aww, they probably took off late or they
may have run into some turbulent weather and had to alter their course." I went
back outside and I waited at the gate and I watched the beacon light from the
control tower as it whipped through the dark ebony skies as if it were searching for
(my ebony eyes.) And then came the announcement over the loudspeaker-
"Would those having relatives or friends on flight number 1203 please report to the
chapel across the street at once."

Then I felt a burning break deep inside
And I knew the heavenly ebony skies
Had taken my life�s most wonderful prize
My beautiful ebony eyes

If I ever get to heaven I�ll bet
The first angel I�ll recognize
She�ll smile at me and I know she will be
My beautiful ebony eyes

Honey
-Artist: Bobby Goldsboro
-the # 16 song of the 1960-1969 rock era
-was # 1 for 5 weeks in 1968
-Words and Music by Bobby Russell (who also wrote "Little Green Apples" and 
-"The Night the Lights Went Out In Georgia")

See the tree, how big it's grown but friend it hasn't been too long it wasn't big
I laughed at her and she got mad, the first day that she planted, it, was just a twig
Then the first snow came and she ran out to brush the snow away
So it wouldn't die
Came runnin' in all excited, slipped and almost hurt herself
And I laughed till I cried
She was always young at heart, kinda dumb and kinda smart and I loved her so
And I surprised her with a puppy
Kept me up all Christmas Eve two years ago
And it would sure embarrass her 
When I came in from workin' late 'cause I would know
That she'd been sittin' there and cryin'
Over some sad and silly late, late show

And honey, I miss you and I'm bein' good
And I'd love to be with you if only I could

She wrecked the car and she was sad
And so afraid that I'd be mad but what the heck
Though I pretended hard to be
Guess you could say she saw through me and hugged my neck
I came home unexpectedly and caught her cryin' needlessly
In the middle of a day
And it was in the early Spring when flowers bloom and robins sing
She went away

And honey, I miss you and I'm bein' good
And I'd love to be with you if only I could 

One day while I was not at home while she was there and all alone
The angels came
Now all I have is memories of Honey and I wake up nights and call her name
Now my life's an empty stage where Honey lived and Honey played
And love grew up
And a small cloud passes overhead and cries down on the flower bed
That Honey loved

And see the tree how big it's grown but friend it hasn't been too long it wasn't big
And I laughed at her and she got mad
The first day that she planted it, was just a twig

Ohio - Neil Young

Tin soldiers and Nixon coming,
We're finally on our own.
This summer I hear the drumming,
Four dead in Ohio.

Gotta get down to it
Soldiers are cutting us down
Should have been done long ago.
What if you knew her
And found her dead on the ground
How can you run when you know?

Gotta get down to it
Soldiers are cutting us down

This summer I hear the drumming,
Four dead in Ohio.

One More Suicide by Marcy Playground from the album Marcy Playground

Christopher O' Malley
went out on a bridge
Down in Chehalis
And clutching his bible
and a letter from her
Fell into the river
Pity no one was there
No angels in the air
And the morning paper ran
One more suicide
His mama stayed by
the river side
Down in Chehalis
And clutching her bible
and a letter from him
Fell into crying
Pity no one was there
No angels in the air
And the morning paper ran
One more suicide
Pity no one was there
No angels in the air
And the morning paper ran
One more suicide
One more suicide
One more suicide 

Adam's Song  by  Blink 182

I never thought I'd die alone
I laughed the loudest who'd have known?
I traced the cord back to the wall
No wonder it was never plugged in at all
I took my time, I hurried up
The choice was mine I didnt think enough
I'm too depressed to go on
You'll be sorry when Im gone
I never conquered, rarely came
16 just held such better days
Days when I still felt alive
We couldn't wait to get outside
The world was wide, too late to try
The tour was over, I'd survived
I couldn't wait til I got home
To pass the time in my room alone
I never thought I'd die alone
Another six months I'll be unknown
Give all my things to my friends
You'll never set foot in my room again
You'll close it off, board it up
Remember the time I spilled the cup
Of apple juice in the hall
Please tell mom this is not her fault
I never conquered, rarely came
Tomorrow just holds such better days
Days when I can still felt alive
When I can't wait to get outside
The world is wide, the time goes by
The tour is over, I've survived
I can't wait til I get home
To pass the time in my room alone

Run Joey Run by David Geddes

Daddy please don't, it wasn't his fault, he means so much to me
Daddy please don't, we're gonna get married...just you wait and see.

She called me up, late last night, she said Joe, don't come over
My dad and I just had a fight, and he stormed out the door
I've never seen him act his this way, my God, hes going crazy
He says he's gonna make you pay, for what we've done, he's got a gun, so

Run Joey Run Joey Run
Daddy please don't, it wasn't his fault, he means so much to me
Daddy please don't, we're gonna get married...just you wait and see.

I got in my car and I drove like mad, till I reached Julie's place
She ran to me, with tears in her eyes, and bruises on her face
All at once, I saw him there, sneaking up behind me, WATCH OUT!
Then Julie yelled, he's got a gun, and she stepped in front of me
Suddenly, a shot rang out, and I saw Julie falling
I ran to her, I held her close, when I looked down, my hands were red,
and heres the last words Julie said...

Daddy please don't, it wasn't his fault, he means so much to me
Daddy please don't, we're gonna get married.....aaahhh..ahhhh
ahhhh....ahhhhh

Emma by Hot Chocolate

We were together since we were five
She was so pretty
Emma was a star in everyone's eyes
And when she said she'd be a movie queen
Nobody laughed
A face like an angel
She could be anything

Emmaline
Emma, Emmaline
I'm gonna write your name high on that silver screen
Emmaline
Emma, Emmaline
I'm gonna make you the biggest star this world has ever seen

At seventeen we were wed
I'd work day and night
To earn our daily bread
And every day Emma would go out
Searching for that play
That never, ever came her way
You know sometimes she'd come home
So depressed
I'd hear her crying in the back room
Feel so distressed
And I'd remember back when she was five
To the words that used to make
Emmaline come alive
It was :
"Emmaline,
Emma, Emmaline,
I'm gonna write your name high on that silver screen.
Emmaline,
Emma, Emmaline
I'm gonna make you the biggest star this world has ever seen."

It was a cold and dark December night
When I opened up the bedroom door
To find her lying still and cold
Upon the bed
A love letter lying on the bedroom floor
It read :
"Darling I love you,
But I just can't keep on living on dreams no more.
I tried so very hard not to leave you alone.
I just can't keep on trying no more."

Emmaline ...
Aaargh, Emmaline ...
Aaargh ...
Emma, Emmaline ...
Aaargh ...
Emma, Emmaline ...

The Freshmen  by  The Verve Pipe

when i was young and knew everything
and she a punk who rarely ever took advice
now i'm guilt stricken,
sobbing with my head on the floor
stop a baby's breath and a shoe full of rice
i can't be held responsible
cause she was touching her face
i won't be held responsible
she fell in love in the first place
for the life of me i cannot remember
what made us think that we were wise and
we'd never comprimise
for the life of me cannot believe
we'd ever die for these sins
we were merely freshman
my best friend took a week's
vacation to forget her
his girl took a week's worth of
valium and slept
now he's guilt stricken sobbing with his
head on the floor
think's about her now and how he never really
wept he says
we've tried to wash our hands of all of this
we never talk of our lacking relationships
and how we're guilt stricken sobbing with our
heads on the floor
we fell through the ice when we tried not to
slip, we'd say

While My Dad Gently Weeps by Furnaceface
["Punctuality is stressed in this household. By that, I mean hair is combed and faces and hands scrubbed before the boys come to the table so they won't delay the meal. Now, mother and daughter put the finishing touches on the dinner. Father, too, looks forward to this date with the family. He has had a hard day at the office and in his briefcase are some contracts which must be looked over tonight. But in the meantime, he will relax at dinner with those he loves."]

Let's grab some cash from Dad's wallet while he's asleep
and while we're at it, let's steal the old man's keys
We'll take his Volvo downtown, cruise around, check out the scene
We'll buy some beer and then do donuts in the parking lot across the street

CHORUS:
While the old man is asleep
into his bedroom we will creep
We'll steal his money and his keys
while the old man is asleep

Let's crack open his liquor cabinet and have a few
A couple for me, 15 for you!
Hey, take it easy, that's Dad's favourite chair you're covering in puke!
Ah, what the hell--what's he gonna do?--CHORUS

["Children are not possessions."]

Let's play his records at 78
You know, at this speed, Paul Anka sounds great
Let's pop a couple of his heart pills just for fun
and when we're really pissed, we'll play with his gun--CHORUS

["Mr. Cook?"
"Yes?"
"You have a son named Robin? Robin Cook, age 17?"
"Yes."
"I'm sorry, Mr. Cook. You better come down to the station house. Your son is dead."]

AAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! OH YEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAH-HAA-HAA-HAAA!!!!!!

Hey, I don't hear him snoring anymore
Hey, hey, hey, he's in my van, and he's listening to hardcore!
Isn't that my wallet on the dash?
Isn't that my girlfriend in his lap??

I guess I musta been asleep
Into my bedroom he did creep
He stole my money and my girl
I guess I musta been asleep

["He died of an overdose."
"Oh, my God...sob...sob..."]
["Things get a little easier once you understand."]

Terry By Twinkle
 
Terry, Terry
 
He said to me he wanted to be near to me
He said he never wanted to be out of my sight
But it's too late to give this boy my love tonight
Please wait at the gate of heaven for me, Terry.
 
He said to me he wanted to be close by my side
We had a quarrel, I was untrue on the night he died
And it's too late to tell this boy how great was
Please wait at the gate of heaven for me, Terry.
 
He rode into the night, accelerated his motorbike
I cried to him in fright, don't do it, don't do it, don.t do it.

He said to me you are the one I want to be with
He said to me you are the one who my love I shall give
One day he'll know how hard I prayed for him to live
Please wait at the gate of heaven for me, Terry.

He rode into the night, accelerated his motorbike
I cried to him in fright, don't do it, don't do it, don.t do it.

He said to me you are the one I want to be with
He said to me you are the one who my love I shall give
One day he'll know how hard I prayed for him to live
Please wait at the gate of heaven for me, Terry.

Black Denim Trousers
The Diamonds 
Words and Music by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller

-as sung on "The Diamonds Collection"-Stardust CD-1010
-charted by The Cheers at # 6 in 1955

He wore black denim trousers and motorcycle boots
And a black leather jacket with an eagle on the back
He had a hopped-up 'cicle that took off like a gun
That fool was the terror of Highway 101

Well, he never washed his face and he never combed his hair
He had axle grease imbedded underneath his fingernails
On the muscle of his arm was a red tattoo
A picture of a heart saying "Mother, I love you"

He had a pretty girlfriend by the name of Mary Lou
But he treated her just like he treated all the rest
And everybody pitied her and everybody knew
He loved that doggone motorcycle best

He wore black denim trousers and motorcycle boots
And a black leather jacket with an eagle on the back
He had a hopped-up 'cicle that took off like a gun
That fool was the terror of Highway 101



Mary Lou, poor girl, she pleaded and she begged him not to leave
She said "I've got a feeling if you ride tonight I'll grieve"
But her tears were shed in vain and her every word was lost
In the rumble of an engine and the smoke from his exhaust

: Then he took off like the Devil and there was fire in his eyes!!  He 
said "I'll go a thousand miles before the sun can rise."  But he hit a screamin' diesel 
that was California-bound"    And when they cleared the wreckage, all 
they found

Was his black denim trousers and motorcycle boots
And a black leather jacket with an eagle on the back
But they couldn't find the 'cicle that took off like a gun
And they never found the terror of High   way 1   oh    1

D.O.A by Bloodrock from Bloodrock 2

Laying here looking at the ceiling 
Someone lays a sheet across my chest 
Something warm is flowing down my fingers 
Pain is flowing all through my back 

I try to move my arms and there's no feeling 
And when I look I see there's nothing there 
The face beside me stopped it totally bleeding 
The girl I knew has such a distant stare 

I remember 
We were flying along and hit something in the air 
I remember 
We were flying along and hit something in the air 

Then I looked straight at the attendant 
His face is pale as it can be 
He bends and whispers something softly 
He says there's no chance for me 

I remember 
We were flying along and hit something in the air 
I remember 
We were flying along and hit something in the air 

Life is flowing out my body 
Pain is flowing out with my blood 
The sheets are red and moist where I'm lying 
God in Heaven, teach me how to die 

I remember 
We were flying along and hit something in the air 
I remember 
We were flying along and hit something in the air 

A Rush And A Push And The Land Is Ours by The Smiths

HELLO
I am the ghost of Troubled Joe
hung by his pretty white neck
some eighteen months ago
I travelled to a mystical time zone
but I missed my bed
so I soon came home
they said:
"there's too much caffeine
in your blood stream
and a lack of real spice
in your life"
I said:
"leave me alone because I'm alright, dad
just surprised to still be on my own...."
Ooh, but don't mention love
I'd hate the strain of the pain again
a rush and a push and the land that
we stand on is ours
it has been before
so it shall be again
and people who are uglier than you and I
they take what they need, and leave
Ooh, but don't mention love
I'd hate the pain of the strain all over again
a rush and a push and the land that
we stand on is ours
it has been before
so why can't it be now?
and people who are weaker than you and I
they take what they want from life
Ooh, but don't mention love
no - just don't mention love!
a rush and a push and the land that we stand on is ours
your youth may be gone
but you're still a yound man
so phone me, phone me, phone me
so phone me, phone me, phone me
Ooh, I think I'm in love
Ooh, I think I'm in love
Ooh, I think I'm in love
Urrgh, I think I'm in love

STRAIGHT A'S by Dead Kennedys
words: Biafra. music: 6025

Sixteen, on the honor roll
I wish that I was dead
Parents hate me, I got zits
And bruises round my head

Pressure's on to get good grades
So I can be like them
Do my homework all the time
I can't go out just then

People they ain't friends at all
They tease and suck me dry
Yell at me when I fuck up
And party while I cry
I look so big on paper
I feel so fucking small
Wanna die and you don't care
Just stride on down the hall

Suicide, suicide
Read the paper, wonder why
Turn the light out, then you cry
It's your fault, you made me die

Touch me won't you touch me now
So frozen I can't love
When I was born my mama cried
And picked me up with gloves

Girls, they kick me in the eye
Want answers to the tests
When they get them they drive off
And leave me home to rest

Hold my head
Make me warm
Tell me I am loved
Give me hope
Let me cry
Make me feel
Give me touch

The window's broken, bleeding screaming
Lying in the hall
I'm gone no one remembers me
A picture on the wall
'He was such a bright boy
The future in his hands...'
Or a spineless human pinball
Shot around by your demands

Suicide, suicide
Goin' to sleep and when I die
You'll look up and realize
Then look down and wipe your eyes
Then go back to your stupid lives
Aw shit. 

Tonight by Iggy Pop

Oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh

I saw my baby
She was turning blue
Oh,  I knew that soon
Her young life was through.

And so I got down on my knees
Down by her bed
And these are the words
To her I said.

(Bowie)
Everything will be all right
Tonight.
Everything will be all right
Tonight.

No one moves
No one talks
No one thinks
No one walks.
Tonight.

Everyone will be all right
Tonight.
Everyone will be all right
Tonight.

No one moves
No one talks
No one thinks
No one walks
Tonight.
Tonight.

I am gonna love her to the end.
I am gonna love her to the end.


I will love her 'til I die.
I will see her in the sky.

Tonight.
Tonight.
Tonight.
Tonight.
Tonight.

Paint It Black by the Rolling Stones
(Jagger/Richards)

I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes

I see a line of cars and they're all painted black
With flowers and my love both never to come back
I see people turn their heads and quickly look away
Like a new born baby it just happens ev'ry day

I look inside myself and see my heart is black
I see my red door and it has been painted black
Maybe then I'll fade away and not have to face the facts
It's not easy facin' up when your whole world is black

No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue
I could not foresee this thing happening to you

If I look hard enough into the settin' sun
My love will laugh with me before the mornin' comes

I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes

Hmm, hmm, hmm,...

I wanna see it painted, painted black
Black as night, black as coal
I wanna see the sun blotted out from the sky
I wanna see it painted, painted, painted, painted black
Yeah! 

EL PASO
(written and performed by Marty Robbins)
from the 1959 Columbia LP, GUNFIGHTER BALLADS & TRAIL SONGS, CL 1349

Out in the West Texas town of El Paso
I fell in love with a Mexican girl
Nighttime would find me in Rosa's cantina
Music would play and Feleena would whirl

Blacker than night where the eyes of Feleena
Wicked and evil while casting her spell
My love was deep for this Mexican maiden
I was in love, but in vain I could tell

One night a wild young cowboy came in
Wild as the West Texas wind
Dashing and daring, a drink he was sharing
With wicked Feleena, the girl that I loved

So in anger
I challenged his right for the love of this maiden
Down went his hand for the gun that he wore
My challenge was answered in less than a heartbeat
The handsome young stranger lay dead on the floor

Just for a moment I stood there in silence
Shocked by the foul, evil deed I had done
Many thoughts raced through my mind as I stood there
I had but one chance and that was to run

Out through the back door of Rosa's I ran
Out where the horses were tied
I caught a good one, it looked like it could run
Up on its back and away I did ride

Just as fast as
I could from the West Texas town of El Paso
Out to the badlands of New Mexico

Back in El Paso my life would be worthless
Everything's gone in life, nothing is left
It's been so long since I've seen the young maiden
My love is stronger than my fear of death

I saddle up and away I did go
Riding alone in the dark
Maybe tomorrow a bullet will find me
Tonight nothing's worse than this pain in my heart

And at last here
I am on the hill overlooking El Paso
I can see Rosa's cantina below
My love is strong and it pushes me onward
Down off the hill to Feleena I go

Off to my right I see five mounted cowboys
Off to my left are a dozen and more
Shouting and shooting I can't let them catch me
I have to make it to Rosa's back door

Something is dreadfully wrong for I feel
A deep burning pain in my side
Though I am trying to stay in the saddle
I'm getting weary, unable to ride

But my love for
Feleena is strong, and I rise where I've fallen
Though I am weary I can't stop to rest
I see the white puff of smoke from the rifle
I feel the bullet go deep in my chest

From out of nowhere Feleena has found me
Kissing my cheek as she kneels by my side
Cradled by two loving arms that I'll die for
One little kiss and Feleena, goodbye 

I Want My Baby Back - Jimmy Cross

I want my baby back
Gotta have my baby back
I miss her oh so much
Can't live without her touch

[Spoken]
I don't hardly know where to begin.  I remember we were cruising home from the 
Beatles concert.  I'd had such a wonderful evening, sitting there watching my 
baby screaming, and tearing her hair out, and carrying on.  She was so full of life.  
Then, well, we were about three miles from home when all of a sudden it started to 
rain.  And I do mean rain.  I couldn't hardly see nothing.  Well, we kept driving for 
about another mile when all of a sudden I see this stalled car right smack in front 
of me.  Well, I wasn't about to slam on the brakes 'cause I didn't have none to 
start with.  So I swerved to the left.  And what do I see - some mushhead on a 
motorcycle headin' right at us.  And I knew at last me and my baby were about 
to meet the leader of the

[Crash sounds]
pack

Well, when I come to, I looked around
And there was the leader
And there was the pack
And over there was my baby
And over there was my baby
And way over there was my baby

I want my baby back
Gotta have my baby back
I miss her oh so much
Can't live without her touch

[Spoken]
It's been many months now since that fateful night.  And you know something, 
I've tried.  Believe me, I have tried.  But I just can't make without my baby.  So 
I've decided I'm going to have her back one way or another.  Oh, baby, I 
dig you so much.  Hot dang, pay dirt.

[Digging and creaking]
I've got my baby back
Now, I've got my baby back
I love her oh so much
Can't live without her touch

I've got my baby back

Car Crash - The Cadets

[Crash sounds]

[Scat lyrics alternated with repeated 'Baby']

There's my baby lying there on the ground
I can see crowd start to get around
I know I drove too fast
Thought she would get a thrill
Now I see my baby lying there on the road
Whoa, baby, why don't you open your eyes?
Please, please baby, say you ain't goin' to die
I'm so sorry, baby
So sad as I can be
Please, please speak to me

[Sobbing and sirens]

Please, baby, speak to me.
Please, darling, open your eyes.
Please, darling, say something to me?

Well, the Lord's with my baby out on the
And they're covering her with a big white sheet
All I can say
Please, please, please don't take her away

[Sobbing and sirens]

The Pickup - Mark Dinning

I made a date on the dare of a friend

If I'd known how it would end,
I'd have turned around and ran away right then
From the pickup

I was a boy looking for fun
She looked so lost and all alone
And I didn't know my heart would be won
By the pickup

How could know her lips were so warm?
Or how big I'd feel with her in my arms?
How could I know?  How could I see?
I'd fall in love with her, and she would love me

I should have told her I loved her right then
I couldn't face all of my friends
So I told my darling I couldn't see her again
I lost the pickup

The morning papers told how she died
Jumped from a bridge, suicide
And nobody knows that the heart in me cries
For the pickup

For the pickup

Death of an Angel - Donald Woods & the Vel-Aires

My baby's gone
And left me left me all alone
My baby's gone
And she left me all alone
So alone, I want my baby home

I still remember
The day she went away
That was the day
My angel me left me to stay
Oh, no, no, I want my baby home

I know that she is gone
Ooh-ooh-ooh?
[weeping]

That was a day
Of an angel, don't know
Why, oh, why
I want to be beside her
But I'm afraid to died
Oh, oh, oh I want my baby back home
I want my baby home
I know that she is gone
But still I want her home
 
Don't leave me

[weeping to FADE]

Ballad of an Angel - Bobby Swanson

Well, this is the story
Of my little girl
Angel my darling
Who's gone from this world
 
We met at a party
And then we fell in love
She said she'd be faithful
And swore by stars above
 
Although she's gone
Angel is still a part of me
 
We went to the movies
And to the high school prom
And our love grew stronger
And true from that time on
 
Although she's gone
Angel is still a part of me
 
And then one day
My angel went
Up to heaven so bright
And since she's gone
Well, I'm all alone

Tears fill my eyes every night
 
Dear God up above,
Take care of my true love
And, darling, I love you
You're all I'm dreaming of
 
Although she's gone
Angel is in my memory
 
Angel

By the way, where'd ya meet her? 

I met her one day at the Laundromat.
[She turned around and smiled at me, ya get the picture?  Yes, we see.]
And that's when I fell in love with the Leader of the Laundromat
 
My folks were always putting her down (down, down)
Because her laundry came back brown (brown, brown)
I don't care if they think she?s bad
I fell in love 'cause she looked so sad
I got a date tonight with the Leader of the Laundromat
 
[Motorcycle revs, sputters, and stalls.]
 
[Spoken]
Dang it!
 
My dad said "Find a laundry that's new" (find a laundry that's new)
How can I tell my baby we're through (tell my baby we?re through)
Gotta drive right into town
I don't care if my shirts are brown
I got a date tonight with the Leader of the Laundromat
 
[Motorcycle revs, sputters, and stalls.]
 
[Spoken]
Dang it!
 
[Spoken]
When I finally got there, I told her it was all over between us.  I'll 
never forget the hurt and the funny look in her eye. She grabbed my 
laundry and ran into the street, directly into the path of a runaway 
garbage truck.  I yelled "Watch out! Watch out! Watch out! Watch out!"
[Crash sounds]
[Spoken]
Dang it!
 
I felt so messy standing there (messy standing there)
My daddy's shorts were everywhere (daddy's shorts were everywhere)
Tenderly I kissed her goodbye
Picked up my clothes, they were finally dry
But I won't forget you, oh Leader Of the Laundromat
 
[Motorcycle runs smoothly.]
 
[Spoken, as dialogue]
Who's that bangin' on the piano?
I don't know.

Wreck-Age - Rollins Band

I take a look around me and it makes me mad
Another friend of mine in rehab
Try to pull himself from a plastic bag
He's callin' from the Halfway House he says he's doing fine
Says he got himself out just in time
Says his friends woulda let him turn blue and die

Someday becomes yesterday
Your life goes and crawls away
You gotta take it on the Black Train, Jack
You can't even feel the fire burnin' your back
Her boyfriend left her broken and alone
She took some pills and crawled to the death zone
Her mother found her just in time
She strapped to a bed in psych ward doin' fine
Aww girl, what happened, what happened, what happened to you
What's goin' on? What's goin' on?

Someday becomes yesterday
Your life goes and crawls away
You're walkin' hand in hand with a death trip
You can't even feel the power in it's grip Sometimes I wanna take you by your shoulders and shake you
You've got to open your eyes, man, how long will it take you
Runnin' through life blind, man, what a waste
Shot down and neutralized, man, what a case
What happened, what happened to you?
What's goin on? What's going on with you?

Someday becomes yesterday
Your life goes an crawls away
You've got to take it on the Black Train, Jack
You can't even feel the fire on your back

I don't wanna die in the wreckage
Don't wanna go blind in the wreckage
Don't wanna go down in the wreckage
Don't wanna get stuck in the wreckage
Sometimes it's all I can see
The wreckage is all around me
The human wreckage, the human wreckage
To you, I say goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, bye-bye, bye-bye

Dead Bob - Nomeansno

Quiet es a mouse
Gentle es a lamb
Happy es a clam
Dead es a...
Doorknob

Roses am red
Violets are blue
I hung myself
So fuck you

DEAD BOB

Button up your overcoat
When the skies are gray
Put a rope around your neck
And kick the chair away
My father was of the sky
My mother was of the earth
And I am a stupid cringing
Ignorant fucking little goof

DEAD BOB

Everyone is so polite
So completely awfully nice
I'm going to get a butcher knife
And cut you all a juicy slice
Mary had a little lamb
And the she had some veal
She stuck her finger down her throat
And threw up...
Everything

I will leave a little note
Hanging from a knotted rope
Please excuse my thoughlessness
I am sorry for the mess

ARE YOU HAPPY NOW? 

Leah - Roy Orbison
Words and music by Roy Orbison

Le-Leah, Leah! Le-Leah, Leah!
Here I go,
From the hut to the boat, to the sea
For Leah.

Ah-hah, I gotta go diving in the bay,
Gotta get a lot of oysters, find some pearls today,
To make a pretty necklace for Leah,
Le-e-ah.

I?ve gotta go deep and find the ones just right --
I?ll bet my Leah?ll be surprised tonight.
I?ll place the pearls around the only girl for me,
Le-e-ah.

But something?s wrong, I cannot move around --
My leg is caught, it?s pulling me down,
But I?ll keep my hand shut tight, for if they find me,
They?ll find the pearl for Leah.

And now it?s over, I?m awake at last --
Old heartaches and memories from the past.
It was just another dream about my lost love,
?Bout Le-e-ah.

Le-Leah, Leah! Le-Leah, Leah!
Here I go,
Back to sleep, and in my dreams, I?ll dream
With Leah, Leah, Le-ah!

Indian Wedding - Roy Orbison
(Orbison)

There once was an Indian brave by the name of Yellow Hand
He fell in love with a maiden know as White Sands
They vowed their love would last forever more
Then came the day that they had waited for.

Yellow Hand brought her a golden feather
White Sands said a prayer for good weather
The ceremonial dance grew loud and strong
Then Yellow Hand began their wedding song.

Oooooh Oooooh Oooh Ooooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh
Tonight, tonight, We will be one
We'll walk in the land of the midnight sun
Oh White Sands, come hold my lonely hand.

Then they left the warmth of the raging fire
And rode into the hills climbing higher
And suddenly the snow came swirling down
They were lost the trail could not be found.

Oooooh Oooooh Oooh Ooooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh
Tonight, tonight We will be one
We'll walk in the land of the midnight sun
Oh White Sands, Come hold my lonely hand.

They never returned from Paradise
They went to their places in the sky
And the old ones still say when the snowflakes fly
If you'll listen close you'll hear him cry:

Oooooh Oooooh Oooh Ooooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh
Tonight, tonight We will be one
We'll walk in the land of the midnight sun
Oh White Sands, Come hold my lonely hand.

If you decide to leave me, if you decide to leave me
I'll cry, I'll cry, I'll cry

Wildfire
song written by Larry Cansler and Michael Martin Murphy

She comes down from Yellow Mountain
On a dark, flat land she rides
On a pony she named Wildfire
With a whirlwind by her side
On a cold Nebraska night

Oh, they say she died one winter
When there came a killing frost
And the pony she named Wildfire
Busted down its stall
In a blizzard he was lost

She ran calling Wildfire

By the dark of the moon I planted
But there came an early snow
There's been a hoot-owl howling by my window now
For six nights in a row
She's coming for me, I know
And on Wildfire we're both gonna go

We'll be riding Wildfire

On Wildfire we're gonna ride
Gonna leave sodbustin' behind
Get these hard times right on out of our minds
Riding Wildfire

Old Shep - Elvis Presley

When I was a lad
And old Shep was a pup
Over hills and meadows we'd stray
Just a boy and his dog
We were both full of fun
We grew up together that way

I remember the time at the old swimmin' hold
When I would have drowned beyond doubt
But old Shep was right there
To the rescue he came
He jumped in and then pulled me out

As the years fast did roll
Old Shep he grew old
His eyes were fast growing dim
And one day the doctor looked at me and said
I can do no more for him Jim

With hands that were trembling
I picked up my gun
And aimed it at Shep's faithful head
I just couldn't do it
I wanted to run
I wish they would shoot me instead

He came to my side
And looked up at me
And laid his old head on my knee
I had struck the best friend that a man ever had
I cried so I scarcely could see

Old Shep he has gone
Where the good doggies go
And no more with old Shep will I roam
But if dogs have a heaven
There's one thing I know
Old Shep has a wonderful home 

Timothy - The Buoys
(Rupert Holmes)

Trapped in a mine that had caved in
And everyone knows the only ones left
Were Joe and me and Tim
When they broke through to pull us free
The only ones left to tell the tale
Were Joe and me

Timothy, Timothy, where on earth did you go?
Timothy, Timothy, God why don't I know?

Hungry as hell no food to eat
And Joe said that he would sell his soul
For just a piece of meat
Water enough to drink for two
And Joe said to me, "I'll have a swig
And then there's some for you."

Timothy, Timothy, Joe was looking at you
Timothy, Timothy, God what did we do?

I must have blacked out just around then
'Cause the very next thing that I could see
Was the light of the day again
My stomach was full as it could be
And nobody ever got around
To finding Timothy
Timothy...

ANGELICA - The Litter
(Weil/Mann)

Each night I meant to say
I missed her through the day
But I'd forget it
I never said it

I passed the flower shop
Lord knows I meant to stop
But I said tomorrow
Perhaps tomorrow

	Tomorrow there'd be time
	There'd always be another spring
	Time to make her laughter ring
	Time to give her everything

		Angelica, my Angelica
		There's so much you never knew
		So much I always meant to say
		And do, for you, for you
		Angelica

And then the cold winds came
And when I spoke her name
And felt her near me
She couldn't hear me

Her shadow had been cast
Too many springs had passed
For Angelica
Sweet Angelica

	Now in my solitude
	I tend the flowers that I buy
	As they slowly fade and die
	Watered by the tears I cry

		for my Angelica, my Angelica
		There's so much you never knew
		So much I always meant to say
		And do, for you, for you
		Angelica
		Angelica
		Angelica
		Angelica

Think - Once You Understand

(Things get a little easier, once you understand) 
[repeated in background over and over and over until the end of the song]

[spoken dialog]
[Dad]
I'll be expecting you to get a haircut by Friday
[Boy]
Forget it dad, that won't change anything
[Dad]
Forget, nothing, you'll do as I say as long as you are living in my house.

[Mom]
He knows I'm not feeling well
And yet he doesn't take out one second out to help his mother
His only concern is for himself
[Boy]
Come on ma, what do you want from me
[Dad]
Don't argue with your mother, just shut up and listen

[Girl]
But mom, all my friends will be there
[Mom]
I said no, you can't go
[Girl]
But why
[Mom]
I don't want you in that neighborhood
[Girl]
Why, what's wrong with that neighborhood
[Mom]
I don't like the kind of people living there
[Girl]
What's wrong with them
[Mom]
Never mind, some day you will thank me

[Mom]
Are you sure nobody kept you company tonight while you were baby sitting
[Girl]
What's that supposed to mean
[Mom]
Just curious
[Girl]
Admit it mom, you don't trust me

[Mom]
Where are you going now
[Son]
To my friend's house
[Mom]
Don't you have things to do in the house
Don't you have homework
Why don't you sit down and read a book
[Son]
Oh ma
[Mom]
Don't oh ma me
You're wasting your life away with foolish things
[Son]
What are you talking about
How about your bridge club and your ladies groups
and your parties and your daytime programs
How about all that
[Mom]
That's different

[Girl]
Ma, I'll be home at 11
[Mom]
You better be home at 10 or don't bother to come home at all

[Dad]
When I was your age, I was working 12 hours a day
6 days a week helping to pay for the food and the rent
[Son]
I don't understand, what's that got to do with me
[Dad]
If you can't figure that out for yourself, you're stupid

[Boy]
Hey dad, did you see my new guitar, I joined a group
[Dad]
Son, there's a little more to life than joining a group and playing a guitar
[Boy]
Yeah dad, what is there to life (life, life)

[Music and background singing stop]
[Police officer]
Mr Cook, 
[Dad]
Yes
[Police officer]
Do you have a son named Robin, Robin Cook age 17
[Dad]
Yes
[Police officer]
I'm sorry Mr Cook, you better come down to the station house
Your son is dead
[Dad]
Dead?  How
[Police officer]
He died of a overdose
[Dad]
Oh my god 
[crying]

[music starts again and the 'things get a little easier singing too]

Don't Drag No More - Susan Lynne
Capitol 45, 45-51983 (1964)

I begged him to not drag anymore
But he sped off in a roar
I knew he'd head off to dead man's curve
Just to prove he had the nerve

Don't drag no more, baby please
Don't drag no more (3x)

I'm so afraid when you go the the strip
I can't help but think this may be your last trip
Dragging means so much to you
There's nothing I can do but say

Don't drag no more, baby please
Don't drag no more (3x)

Why can't you ever say no to a drag
Why can't you see if you race I get mad
Baby please hear what I say
Won't you put your keys away for me

Don't drag no more, baby please
Don't drag no more (3x)

Can't say no right now
Gotta go right now.

Baby please hear what I say
Won't you put your keys away for me

Don't drag no more, baby please
Don't drag no more (3x)

Eating (by Compulsion):

Lying on the floor
is the early edition
his head in his hands,
his daughter's gone
everthing he said seems to whisper
she's dead
I want my supper
I want my supper now
she tried to force herself in the mirror she dance on the scales
"oh god I'm fat"
all he does is jeer
got to get away from here
I want my supper
I want my supper now
eating
they dragged the lake,
took three men to lift her
no motive is known,
no note was found
beauty is a dream,
is as does,
is as seen,
supper.
                                                                                

Barry Manilow - Copacabana (At the Copa)
-Artist: Barry Manilow as sung on "Greatest Hits" -Arista A2L 8601
-peak Billboard position # 8 in 1978
-Words and Music by Barry Manilow, Bruce Sussman, and J. Feldman



Her name was Lola, she was a showgirl
With yellow feathers in her hair and a dress cut down to there
She would merengue and do the cha-cha
And while she tried to be a star, Tony always tended bar
Across a crowded floor, they worked from 8 till 4
They were young and they had each other
Who could ask for more?

At the Copa (CO!), Copacabana (Copacabana)
The hottest spot north of Havana (here)
At the Copa (CO!), Copacabana
Music and passion were always the fashion
At the Copa....they fell in love

(Copa Copacabana)

His name was Rico, he wore a diamond
He was escorted to his chair, he saw Lola dancin' there
And when she finished, he called her over
But Rico went a bit too far, Tony sailed across the bar
And then the punches flew and chairs were smashed in two
There was blood and a single gun shot
But just who shot who?

At the Copa (CO!), Copacabana (Copacabana)
The hottest spot north of Havana (here)
At the Copa (CO!), Copacabana
Music and passion were always the fashion
At the Copa....she lost her love

(Copa. . Copacabana)
(Copa Copacabana) (Copacabana, ahh ahh ahh ahh)
(Ahh ahh ahh ahh Copa Copacabana)
(Talking Havana have a banana)
(Music and passion...always the fash--shun)



Her name is Lola, she was a showgirl
But that was 30 years ago, when they used to have a show
Now it's a disco, but not for Lola
Still in the dress she used to wear, faded feathers in her hair
She sits there so refined, and drinks herself half-blind
She lost her youth and she lost her Tony
Now she's lost her mind!

At the Copa (CO!), Copacabana (Copacabana)
The hottest spot north of Havana (here)
At the Copa (CO!), Copacabana
Music and passion were always the fashion
At the Copa....don't fall in love

(Copa) don't fall in love
Copacabana

Blondie - "Susie And Jeffrey"

Even though Jeff was worried
They weren't in a hurry
They planned a lovely honeymoon
Sue had a brand new Chevy
Conservative, in good taste
Only 30 payments due
They had outstanding tickets
They had no car insurance
But they had lots of things to do
They were getting organised
They had their plans all finalised
The date was set for Saturday

Susie and Jeffrey, they're gonna get married
They're going for a blood test

What if I don't pass my blood test?
What about our marriage licence?
What if I can't be deprogrammed?
Don't act like it's your last chance
We could have fun at the Spahn Ranch.
It's not like Gordon Avenue

Susie and Jeffrey, they're gonna get married
They're going for a blood test
Jeffrey said "Let's wait"
Sue took her foot off of the brake
He drove into a wall

Don't get excited, now don't shout!
I'll scratch your eyes out
Now we can't have our honeymoon!"
Don't touch she's my fiance!
Say, but I like the way you play
An autograph from Orson Welles

I'm a fan, here's my record
It's one we can't get programmed
We want to give to all of you
They had a little argument
Sue took her foot off of the brake
He drove the car into a wall
They had a little argument
Sue took her foot off of the brake
He drove the car into a wall
They had a disagreement
Sue took her foot off of the brake
He drove the car into a wall

The Three Bells - Artists; The Browns (peak Billboard position # 1 in 1959)
Originally a French tune written in 1945, it was charted at " # 14 in 1952 by Les
Compagnons de la Chanson. Variously known as "Les Trois Cloches" and "While
the Angelus Was Ringing."
Original French words by Bert Reisfeld and Music by Jean Villard
English words added by Dick Manning


There's a village hidden deep in the valley
Among the pine trees half forlorn
And there on a sunny morning
Little Jimmy Brown was born

(bung, bung, bung, bung)
All the chapel bells were ringing in the little valley town
And the song that they were singing was for baby Jimmy Brown
Then the little congregation prayed for guidance from above
"Lead us not into temptation, bless this hour of meditation"
"Guide him with eternal love"

There's a village hidden deep in the valley
Beneath the mountains high above
And there, twenty years thereafter
Jimmy was to meet his love

(bung, bung, bung, bung)
All the chapel bells were ringing, 'twas a great day in his life
'cause the songs that they were singing was for Jimmy and his wife
Then the little congregation prayed for guidance from above
"Lead us not into temptation, bless, oh Lord this celebration"
"May their lives be filled with love"

From the village hidden deep in the valley
One rainy morning dark and gray
A soul winged its way to heaven
Jimmy Brown had passed away

(bung, bung, bung, bung)
Just a lonely bell was ringing in the little valley town
'twas farewell that it was singing to our little Jimmy Brown
And the little congregation prayed for guidance from above
"Lead us not into temptation, may his soul find the salvation"
"Of thy great eternal love"

Paula Cole - Hush, Hush, Hush 

Long white arms
Losing their strength and form
Sixty year man on twenty year old skin
Skeleton, your eyes have lost their warmth
Look to your father for some support

CHORUS:

Hush hush hush
Says your daddy's touch
Sleep sleep sleep
Says the hundredth sheep
Peace peace peace
May you go in peace

Cruel joke you waited so long to show
The one that you wanted wasn't a girl
All your life you kept it hidden inside
Now when you step
You stumble
You die

Chorus

Oh maybe next time
You'll be henry the V3
Wake up tomorrow, alexander the great
Open your eyes in a new life again
Oh maybe next time
You'll be given a chance

Hush hush hush
Hush hush hush
Hush hush hush
Hush hush hush
Hush... 

Eleanor Rigby - Beatles

ah, look at all the lonely people!
ah, look at all the lonely people!

eleanor rigby picks up the rice in the church
where a wedding has been
lives in a dream
waits at the window
wearing a face that she keeps in a jar by the door
who is it for?

all the lonely people
where do they all come from?
all the lonely people
where do they all belong?

father mckenzie, writing the words of a sermon 
that no one will hear
no one comes near
look at him working, darning his socks in the night
when there's nobody there
what does he care?

all the lonely people
where do they all come from?
all the lonely people
where do they all belong?

ah, look at all the lonely people!
ah, look at all the lonely people!

eleanor rigby died in the church
and was buried along with her name
nobody came
father mckenzie wiping the dirt from his hands
as he walks from the grave
no one was saved

all the lonely people...
(ah, look at all the lonely people!)
where do they all come from?
all the lonely people...
(ah, look at all the lonely people!)
where do they all belong?

Die Like Someone - Eve's Plum

I don't really know your name I saw you in a magazine I used to want to 
be the same as you I've seen your photos since I was ten Your designer 
armament I used to want to be the same but now

Write a letter before five Then I don't want you alive But I can't tell 
if I want you dead Or if envy's fucked my head

I wanna die like someone I wanna die like you I wanna die like someone I 
wanna die like someone I wanna die I think I wanna die... Like you

You define the fantasy You define how girls should be It's a trick that 
I'm told to be like you are You're not at all like the girls I know 
You're not real we don't look that way Still I can't tell if my envy's 
gone away

You always get the guy on the top I won't compete, it won't get me far I 
still think that I want you dead 'Cause my envy's fucked my head

I wanna die like someone I wanna die like you I wanna die like someone I 
wanna die like someone I wanna die I think I wanna die... Like you

I wanna die like someone I wanna die like you I wanna die like someone I 
wanna die like someone I wanna die I think I wanna die... Like you 

Delia's Gone - Johnny Cash

Delia, oh, Delia Delia all my life If I hadn't have shot poor Delia I'd 
have had her for my wife Delia's gone, one more round Delia's gone

I went up to Memphis And I met Delia there Found her in her parlor And I 
tied to her chair Delia's gone, one more round Delia's gone

She was low down and trifling And she was cold and mean Kind of evil 
make me want to Grab my sub machine Delia's gone, one more round Delia's 
gone

First time I shot her I shot her in the side Hard to watch her suffer 
But with the second shot she died Delia's gone, one more round Delia's 
gone

But jailer, oh, jailer Jailer, I can't sleep 'Cause all around my 
bedside I hear the patter of Delia's feet Delia's gone, one more round 
Delia's gone

So if you woman's devilish You can let her run Or you can bring her down 
and do her Like Delia got done Delia's gone, one more round Delia's gone

St. Lawrence River - David Usher 
Little Songs

Smells on the air
See there it's crushing the final impression
The stains on the paper
Where words fell like water
Unearth all the changes that never did matter
I think it's beginning to freeze here

Caught in the rage and the fire of things
All the brightness that burns me
I'm fumbling through like a child in the dark
When the nakedness comes
I am shocked by the colour the glorious weight of your skin
Comes alive
And I never thought we'd make it back so soon
Might be nice
But I knew you'd be your own destroyer
Comes a time
And I always thought I'd make it up to you

Here please forgive me
Could we escape all the bitterness piled upon bitterness
Held in the face of the things that I don't understand
Intellectualize over and over
This helplessness suits us
Funny how quiet has slipped to our corners
Worn all our edges away
You are watching breathing and baiting
Wanting and warming and cautiously waiting
For some simple signal to creep cross your conscience
Uncover redemption and oh did I mention
I carried you down to the St. Lawrence River
The banks running dirty the water's beginning to freeze here
Solid by morning
And I'll freeze here
Winter by morning

Comes a lie
And I never thought you'd get me back so soon
Might be nice
But it's only if my own destroyer
Comes alive
And I always knew I'd make it up to you

I saw on your face such a curious grin
As I let go your hand
I was desperate to hold you again
But you're sinking so deep in the water
Outsmarted myself and so easily gave up what I wanted
Solid by morning
What I wanted
Winter by morning

Comes alive
And I never thought you'd make it up so soon
Night be nice
But I always knew you're my destroyer
Comes a time
And I always thought I'd make it up to you

Solid by morning
And I'll freeze here
Winter by morning 

Where The Wild Roses Grow - Nick Cave
(feat. Kylie Minogue)

They call me The Wild Rose
But my name was Elisa Day
Why they call me it I do not know
For my name was Elisa Day
From the first day I saw her I knew she was the one
She stared in my eyes and smiled
For her lips were the colour of the roses
That grew down the river, all bloody and wild
When he knocked on my door and entered the room
My trembling subsided in his sure embrace
He would be my first man, and with a careful hand
He wiped at the tears that ran down my face
[Chorus]
On the second day I brought her a flower
She was more beautiful than any woman I'd seen
I said, "Do you know where the wild roses grow
So sweet and scarlet and free?"
On the second day he came with a single red rose
Said: "Will you give me your loss and your sorrow"
I nodded my head, as I lay on the bed
He said, "If I show you the roses, will you follow?"
[Chorus]
On the third day he took me to the river
He showed me the roses and we kissed
And the last thing I heard was a muttered word
As he knelt (stood smiling) above me with a rock in his fist
On the last day I took her where the wild roses grow
And she lay on the bank, the wind light as a thief
And I kissed her goodbye, said, "All beauty must die"
And lent down and planted a rose between her teeth
[Chorus]

All Apologies - Nirvana

What else should I be
All apologies
What else should I say
Everyone is gay
What else could I write
I don't have the right
What else should I be
All apologies

In the sun
In the sun I feel as one
In the sun
In the sun
I'm married
buried

I wish I was like you
Easily amused
Find my nest of salt
Everything is my fault
I'll take all the blame
Aqua seafoam shame
Sunburn with freezerburn
Choking on the ashes of her enemy
All in all we all are

"Shannon" By Henry Gross

"Another day is at end
Mama says she's tired again
No one can even begin to tell her

I hardly know what to say
But maybe it's better that way
If Papa were here I'm sure he'd tell her

Shannon is gone
I heard she's drifted out to sea
She always loved to swim away
Maybe she'll find an island
With a shady tree
Just like the one in our backyard

Mama tries hard to pretend
That things will get better again
Somehow she's keeping it all inside her

But finally the tears fill our eyes
And I know that somewhere tonight
She knows how much we really miss her

Shannon is gone
I heard she's drifted out to sea
She always loved to swim away
Maybe she'll find an island
With a shady tree
Just like the one in our backyard"

Remember Walking In The Sand - The Shangri-Las

Seems like the other day My baby went away
He went away 'cross the sea
It's been two years or so Since I saw my baby go
And then this letter came for me
It said that we were through He found somebody new
Oh, let me think, let me think, what can I do?
Oh no, oh no, oh no no no no no
CHORUS: (remember) walkin' in the sand
(remember) walkin' hand in hand
(remember) the night was so exciting
(remember) smile was so inviting
(remember) then he touched my cheek
(remember) with his fingertips
Softly, softly we'd meet with our lips

Whatever happened to
The boy that I once knew?
The boy who said he'd be true
Oh, what will happen to
The life I gave to you?
What will I do with it now?

The Message - Grandmaster Flash
(E.Fletcher, S.Robinson, C.Chase, M.Glover -
SugarHill Records '82)

Broken glass everywhere
People pissing on the stairs, 
you know they just don't care
I can't take the smell, I can't take the noise
Got no money to move out, I guess I got no choice
Rats in the front room, roaches in the back
Junkie's in the alley with a baseball bat
I tried to get away, but I couldn't get far
Cause the man with the tow-truck repossessed my car
Chorus:
Don't push me, cause I'm close to the edge
I'm trying not to lose my head
It's like a jungle sometimes, it makes me wonder
How I keep from going under

Standing on the front stoop, hangin' out the window
Watching all the cars go by, roaring as the breezes blow
Crazy lady, livin' in a bag
Eating out of garbage piles, used to be a fag-hag
Search and test a tango, skips the life and then go
To search a prince to see the last of senses
Down at the peepshow, watching all the creeps
So she can tell the stories to the girls back home
She went to the city and got so so so ditty
She had to get a pimp, she couldn't make it on her own

Chorus:
It's like a jungle sometimes, it makes me wonder
How I keep from goin' under

My brother's doing fast on my mother's T.V.
Says she watches to much, is just not healthy
All my children in the daytime, Dallas at night
Can't even see the game or the Sugar Ray fight
Bill collectors they ring my phone
And scare my wife when I'm not home
Got a bum education, double-digit inflation
Can't take the train to the job, there's a strike
at the station
Me on King Kong standin' on my back
Can't stop to turn around, broke my sacroiliac
Midrange, migraine, cancered membrane
Sometimes I think I'm going insane, I swear I might
hijack a plane!

Chorus:

My son said daddy I don't wanna go to school
Cause the teacher's a jerk, he must think I'm a fool
And all the kids smoke reefer, I think it'd be cheaper
If I just got a job, learned to be a street sweeper
I dance to the beat, shuffle my feet
Wear a shirt and tie and run with the creeps
Cause it's all about money, ain't a damn thing funny
You got to have a con in this land of milk and honey
They push that girl in front of a train
Took her to a doctor, sowed the arm on again
Stabbed that man, right in his heart
Gave him a transplant before a brand new start
I can't walk through the park, cause it's crazy after the dark
Keep my hand on the gun, cause they got me on the run
I feel like an outlaw, broke my last fast jaw
Hear them say you want some more, livin' on a seesaw

Chorus:

A child was born, with no state of mind
Blind to the ways of mankind
God is smiling on you but he's frowning too
Cause only god knows what you go through
You grow in the ghetto, living second rate
And your eyes will sing a song of deep hate
The places you play and where you stay
Looks like one great big alley way
You'll admire all the number book takers
thugs, pimps, pushers and the big money makers
Driving big cars, spending twenties and tens
And you wanna grow up to be just like them
Smugglers, scrambles, burglars, gamblers
Pickpockets, peddlers and even pan-handlers
You say I'm cool, I'm no fool
But then you wind up dropping out of high school
Now you're unemployed, all null 'n' void
Walking around like you're pretty boy Floyd
Turned stickup kid, look what you done did
Got send up for a eight year bid
Now your man is took and you're a May tag
Spend the next two years as an undercover fag
Being used and abused, and served like hell
Till one day you was find hung dead in a cell
It was plain to see that your life was lost
You was cold and your body swung back and forth
But now your eyes sing the sad sad song
Of how you lived so fast and died so young

Chorus:

7-11 - Ramones

I met her at the 7-11
Now I'm in 7th heaven
Tell me, tell me
Can this be true
I never though I'd ever
meet a girl like you

She was standing by the Space Invaders
So I said can I see you later
Yeah we went for a little spin
Down to the Holiday Inn

We was young and in love
We was young and in love
And you're the only girl
I'm ever thinking of

We went down to the record swap
The kids were dancing
to the blitzkrieg bop
Bop-shoo-wop shoo-wop shoo-wop
Bop-shoo-wop shoo-wop shoo-wop

What ever happend to the radio
And where did all the fun songs go
Summer fun, with the Beach Boys on
But we all know what went wrong
Oh-wo-wo

We was young and in love
We was young and in love
And you're the only girl
I'm ever dreaming of

And we went down to the dance
Which turned into a whole romance
And after just one night
I never knew that things could be so right
Oh-no-no-no-no-no-no-no

I kissed her and hugged her
And I said good-bye
Last thing I knew
She wouldn't make it alive
Oncoming car went out of control
It crushed my baby
And it crushed my soul
Now all I've got is sorrow and pain
Standing out here in the rain
The crash, shattering glass
The sirens, and pain
Is driving me insane oh-yeah

We was young and in love
We was young and in love
And you're the only girl
I'm ever thinking of
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Eye Of The Hurricane by David Wilcox
Album	: How Did You Find Me Here

Tank is full, switch is on
Night is warm, cops are gone
Rocket bike is all her own
It's called a hurricane

She told me once it's quite a ride
It's shaped so there's this place inside
Where if you're moving you can hide
Safe within the rain

She wants to run away
But there's nowhere that she can go
Nowhere the pain won't come again
But she can hide
Hide in the pouring rain
She rides the eye of the hurricane

Tell the truth, explain to me
How you got this need for speed
She laughed and said "it might just be
The next best thing to love."

Hope is gone and she confessed
When you lay your dream to rest
You can get what's second best
But it's hard to get enough

She wants to run away
But there's nowhere that she can go
Nowhere the pain won't come again
But she can hide
Hide in the pouring rain
She rides the eye of the hurricane

We saw her ride so fast last night
Racing by a flash of light
Riding quick, the street was dark
A shining truck she thought was parked
It blocked her path, stopped her heart
But not the hurricane

She saw her chance to slip the trap
There was just the room to pass in back
But then it moved, closed the gap
She never felt the pain

She wants to run away
But there's nowhere that she can go
Nowhere the pain won't come again
But she can hide
Hide in the pouring rain
She rides the eye of the hurricane
She rides the eye of a hurricane.

"I Love You" by Black Flag from My War

I put my fist through the door 
I hate myself for you 
I love you 
Suspicion rules my very soul 
My knife is sharp, 
My thoughts are cold 
I love you I love you 
Because, I love you 

I can't talk, I can't think 
My feelings burn inside of me 
I love you 
I run through the door, to the liquor store
The doors are closed, you're catching crows (?)  
I love you I love you 
Because, I love you 

I practice my knife, I feel the power 
I look in the mirror and I want to destroy her 
I love you 
I gave you my life, but what did I get? 
Now its time to take it back 
I love you I love you 
Because, I love you 

I hear a car, your footsteps outside 
Knife in hand, love in heart 
Sweating - I wait 
I love you 
You screamed, you bled, you laid on the floor 
But now I know you'll leave me no more 
I love you I love you 
Because, I love you.

Bobby Swanson - Janie's Face (1961)
[Donna Records 1336 - (Janie's Face / Peggy's Last Birthday)]
 
Well I went to bed so lonely and blue
Just thinking of my long lost love
And then I woke in the still of the night 
A heavenly glow shone above

Stood there before me
Tear drops on her face
Told me she loved me
No one could take my place
Well, if I live forever
I won't forget that sign
How I saw Janie's face 
In my dreams last night

She came to me then
And I heard her cry
She touched held my hand tight
Tears filled her eyes
Well if I die tomorrow 
I won't forget that sign
How I saw Janie's face 
in my dreams last night

Took off her red scarf
Her golden hair glowed
Kissed me goodbye
And then off did she go
Woke up this morning
And looked on my bed
There laid a red scarf
From Janie's head
Well if I live forever
I won't forget that sign
How I saw Janie's face 
in my dreams last night

A YOUNG GIRL OF 16
(Aznavour / Chauvigny / Brown)
Noel Harrison

She left he neighbourhood in which
everyone was filthy rich.
She left her parents' home and went straight
with a vagabond who made
vows of love she'd never heard,
and she believed his every word.
She left no following address,
just took her youth and happiness
as with the boy she vanished in,
the secret sweetness of their sin.

A young girl,
a young girl who is sixteen
child of springtime, still green,
lying here by the road.

He told her love demanded space,
so they rode from place to place.
Although she realized she'd sin,
she threw cautions to the wind
as she followed him around
and he slowly dragged her down.
So overpowering was her love
that it made him the captain of
a young girl's heart and soul and mind.
In other words: love drove her blind.

A young girl,
a young girl who is sixteen
child of springtime, still green,
lying here by the road.

Too much emotions for a girl
she let her heart become her world.
But worlds that God has never wrought
for a thunder [...].
Had she been wiser she would have known
she could not feed him love alone.
She should have known the day would come
when he would quit her just for crumbs.
He needed fresh new meat to carve
and left her heart and mind to starve.

A young girl,
a young girl who is sixteen
child of springtime, still green,
lying here by the road.

Dead. 
                                                                                

Jenny Brown - Smothers Brothers

Spoken:
Tommy:
My brother, my brother and myself have banded together
in an organization, an organization called the siblings.
A small crawling animal, the point is, my brother and myself are starting...

Dick:
What Tommy is trying to say is we are planning on trying to change our
type of music and change the direction in which we want to sing
we want to sing more to the teenagers, teenage love songs, 
passionate songs, because teenagers need to understand they are in 
a very difficult time of life
And there's a lot of people who sing just for teenagers
and they are very very successful

Tommy:
The Beatles  are they ...

Dick:
They are as successful as you can get

Tommy:
And they have Beatle wigs

Dick:
Right

Tommy:
And if you and I ever get that popular we couldn't have Smothers' wigs

Dick:
No we could

Tommy:
Because of our hairline, so we are going to have plastic ears

Dick:
Tommy why don't you tell them the song we would like to try and 
launch this new career with.

Tommy:
Our new career will be launched with a song, a teenage song,
a teenage song capturing the extremes of the emotional spectrum of excitement.
First, the song has the unhappiness and the tragedy, and the end of the world feeling
which a teenage love, or a young person's love when it goes wrong, it has its 
unhappiness which knows no bounds and knows no depths of sorrow and pain.
On the other extreme, we have elation, happiness, the teenage love is never a middle 
of the road thing, but the extremes, this song featuring my brother and myself will
feature his lyric voice, the compassion he has gained...

Dick:
Through bitter experience

Tommy:
Through bitter experience, my brother will sing now the tragic yet beautiful story of
the lovely teen angel.

Dick:
No, that's not the name of the song

Tommy:
The lovely teen angel, Jenny Brown.  Passionate form, vivacious eyes sparkling alive.
...Screwed up...   
Nobody's perfect.

Singing:
As I was walking by the shore,
I happened there to see,
A woman's form a-lyin' there,
As still as still could be.
The dress she wore was gingham blue,
Her hair all tumbled down;
It might have been my own true love,
My sweetheart Jenny Brown.

Her face was turned into the sand
Was who, I couldn't tell
But on her hand was a high school ring
A ring I knew too well
My heart stood still, I grasped her arm
And then I turned her round
Alas it was my own true love
My sweetheart Jenny Brown

Spoken:
Oh Jenny...Brown
Why did I treat you cru-el
Gosh wizz Jenny, there was tears in your eyes
And you ran away from me and now here I find you 
on the beach all still and sandy
And flies and stuff

Singing:
I stared into her loving face
A face that used to clown
I saw one eye a-flicker
Then wink and open round
Ha ha she laughed, then jumped up tall
"I'll bet you thought I'd drowned."
What a rotten sense of humor,
Has my sweetheart Jenny Brown.


(This is another version I found of this song)
As I was walking by the shore,
I happened there to see,
A woman's form a-lyin' there,
As still as still could be.
The dress she wore was gingham blue,
Her hair all tumbled down;
It might have been my own true love,
My sweetheart Jenny Brown.

I approached the body with despair,
Saw her bruised and battered feet.
I pulled the seaweed from her hair,
Where the crabs had begun to eat.
I had treated her so cruelly,
Never the proper way.
When I saw her last she cried,
And then she ran away.

I waffed the flies and bugs,
Away from her swollen and bloated chest.
I breathed in very deeply,
And then I held my breath.
I thought that I could keep it down,
But oh was I so wrong.
I'm sorry but I barfed upon,
My sweetheart, Jenny Brown.

A sense of quiet came over the beach,
Her death was painless and fast,
It seems that I had lost her now;
My true love was gone at last.
Then, "Aha," she jumped up and said,
"I'll bet you thought I'd drowned."
What a rotten sense of humor,
Has my sweetheart Jenny Brown. 

I Hold Your Hand In Mine
by Tom Lehrer
Album: Songs & More Songs By Tom Lehrer

I hold your hand in mine...

I hold your hand in mine, dear 
I press it to my lips 
I take a healthy bite from 
your lovely fingertips. 

My joy would be complete, dear 
If you were only here. 
But still I keep your hand 
As a lovely souvenir. 

The night you died I cut it off, 
I really don't know why. 
For now each time I kiss it, 
I get bloodstains on my tie. 

I'm sorry now I killed you,, 
For our love was something fine! 
Until they come to get me, 
I shall hold your hand in mine!

Dum, dum, dum it's the sound of my gun.
Dum, dum, dum, honey what have you done?
Dum, dum, dum it's the sound

Her whole world's come undone

But man, he had it comin' Now that Janie's got a gun
she ain't never gonna be the same.

Janie's got a gun

Her dog day's just begun
Now everybody is on the run

What did her daddy do?
It's Janie's last I.O.U.
She had to take him down easy and put a bullet in his brain
She said 'cause nobody believes me. The man was such a sleeze.
He ain't never gonna be the same.

Run away, run away from the pain yeah, yeah
yeah yeah yeah
Run away run away from the pain yeah yeah

Her dog day's just begun
Now everybody is on the run
Janie's got a gun

Johnny Cash - Don't Take Your Guns To Town
Album - The Essential Johnny Cash

A young cowboy named Billy Joe grew restless on the farm
A boy filled with wonderlust who really meant no harm
He changed his clothes and shined his boots
And combed his dark hair down
And his mother cried as he walked out

Chorus
Don't take your guns to town son
Leave your guns at home Bill
Don't take your guns to town

He laughed and kissed his mom
And said your Billy Joe's a man
I can shoot as quick and straight as anybody can
But I wouldn't shoot without a cause
I'd gun nobody down
But she cried again as he rode away

Chorus
Don't take your guns to town son
Leave your guns at home Bill
Don't take your guns to town

He sang a song as on he rode
His guns hung at his hips
He rode into a cattle town
A smile upon his lips
He stopped and walked into a bar
And laid his money down
But his mother's words echoed again

Chorus
Don't take your guns to town son
Leave your guns at home Bill
Don't take your guns to town

He drank his first strong liquor then to calm his shaking hand
And tried to tell himself he had become a man
A dusty cowpoke at his side began to laugh him down
And he heard again his mothers words

Chorus
Don't take your guns to town son
Leave your guns at home Bill
Don't take your guns to town

Filled with rage then
Billy Joe reached for his gun to draw
But the stranger drew his gun and fired
Before he even saw
As Billy Joe fell to the floor
The crowd all gathered 'round
And wondered at his final words

Chorus
Don't take your guns to town son
Leave your guns at home Bill
Don't take your guns to town

The Four Seasons - "No Surfing Today"

She was my surfer girl
she surfed in the sun
where are you surfer girl
now your fun is done
now your fun is done

Angry sea, took my love from me
no surfin' today
no surfin'

Way out beyond the reef
they said don't go (don't go! don't go!)
the undertow so deep
dragged her down below
dragged her down below

Angry sea, took my love from me
no surfin' today
no surfin

Just yesterday
We felt the ocean spray
While we were surfing side by side
I'll never hold her hand, she's too far away
I'll never understand, what else can I say
What else can I say

Angry sea, took my love from me
no surfin' today
no surfin'

Nightmare - The Whyte Boots

Spoken:  Yeah, no boy�s worth the trouble that I�m in.  My friends they told me, 
they said I could win.  They said, "Don�t let her get away 
with it," but I never should have listened.

You can beat her
You can win
Look out she�s sneering
Better wipe off her grin
Get her, get her
Push her to the ground
Ger her, get her
Push her down
 
Spoken:  "They�re right," I thought.  She did take my Bobby away, putting 
me down, showing everybody his ring.  Well, I thought I�d like to scare her 
a little, but I never meant to hurt her or anything.

You can beat her
You can win
Look out she�s sneering
Better wipe off her grin
Get her, get her
Push her to the ground
Ger her, get her
Push her down

(Fight sounds)

Oooh, oooh, oooh...

Spoken:  She lay so still.  I knew that something was wrong.  And I said, 
"Help me, girls.  What should I do?  What should I do?!"

Run, run, run...

I tried to run

But it was too late
The cop held me
Said, "Girl, you better wait."
"Get her, get her,"
That�s what they said
"Get her, get her"
It�s all my fault she�s dead

She didn�t want to fight
She didn�t want to fight
She didn�t want to fight...

Spoken:  I didn�t want to fight.  What could I do?  They were standing around.  
I didn�t want to fight.  Please don�t take me.  No.  Don�t take me.  Help me, 
somebody, please.  Don�t let �em do this.  No.  No.  No.  I didn�t want to fight.

Mr Turnkey - Zager & Evans

Mr Turnkey, it's 10 pm in Wichita Falls 
August 16, 1969 and I'm in some bar
Mr Turnkey, I need a woman and I'm ain't getting far
I never was the kind of man a woman looked for.

But Mr Turnkey, she looked at me with flirting eyes
Mr Turnkey, she was loveier than oil lights
Mr Turnkey, she led me on, she led me on,
She knew she wasn't going to let love her.

Mr Turnkey, there's been a rape in Wichita Falls
Mr Turnkey, I'm sitting here crying in my coveralls
Mr Turnkey, I don't want to be the man I am
Mr Turnkey, I'm calling from block number 4
Mr Turnkey, you ain't never seen nothing like this before
Mr Turnkey, I nailed my wrist to your wall, I'm going home

Mr Turnkey, I'm calling from block number 4
Mr Turnkey, I ain't got the strength to call once more
Mr Turnkey, I'm crying, hanging here dying
Tell her I'm sorry

River of No Return - Ian Whitcomb

Rambling river flows
Winding as it goes
In the end it goes to the sea
And it takes you, gently takes you, from me.

We were so in love
Very much in love
Now the river drags you away
And you�ll never, ever see another day.

Times when my baby was alive
Now make me cry deep inside

Soon she�ll reach the sea
Gone for good from me
Maybe her memory will fade
For the river, covers all� I�m afraid.

The Water Was Red - Johnny Cymbal (1961)
MGM 12978 45rpm - Bubbled Under 3/27/61 #108 3wk

A boy met a girl on a lonely beach 
and soon they were holding hands
they fell in love on that lonely beach
and kissed on the silver sand

Until the water was red and the day was done
until the water was red from the setting sun

They returned to the beach whenever they could
and stay until the moon was bright
and once they were swimming where the water was deep
and the white fin came into sight

The shark had struck and disappeared
and left his sweetheart dead
and as he pulled her to the shore
the mooring waves were red

Oh the water was red with what the shark done
Yes the water was red and his love was gone

He looked towards the water and he saw the fin
so he gently put her on the sand
he walked to the water with a tear in his eye
and a gleaming knife in his hand

And the water was red once again
Yes the water was red as he walked toward his sweetheart
with the fin in his hand

And the water was red once again
Yes the water was red 

Two Hour Honeymoon - Paul Hampton

(Car crash sounds)
(Cricket sounds)
(Swanky horn begins)

No don't move me, I'll be ok, are you all right?
Oh why did this have to happen on our wedding night, huh?
It seems all we had was one big blast and then pphhht
Well, we always said we would be together until the last
I guess you were right, honey.
We were driving too fast.

Honey, you were the most beautiful bride and I was filled
with such pride as you walked to me down the aisle.
While the music played, I prayed for you with all my heart
because I knew we would never part
So, here we are, together till the last.
I guess you were right, honey.
We were driving too fast.

I would have loved like no one else could have ever loved you
Yeah, come on, no tears, at least that I can see
No, you had your whole life to live
And so much love to give, so don't waste it on me
Just promise that me every once in a while, when you are alone
you will think of the happy times we had together and the way 
I kissed you, planning our new home, it is just so unfair that
it had to end so soon.  All we had was a two hour honeymoon.

(Police sirens and swanky horn mixed together)

Rocky
Austin Roberts
(Stevens)

-Austin collaborated on the 70's cartoon
series "Scooby Doo" and "Josie & the Pussycats".

Alone until my eighteenth year
We met four springs ago
She was shy and had a fear
Of things she did not know
But we got it on together
In such a super way
We held each other close at night
And traded dreams each day

And she said,
"Rocky, I've never been in love before
Don't know if I can do it
But if you let me lean on you
Take my hand, I might get through it" (through it)
I said, "Baby, oh sweet baby
It's love that sets us free
And God knows if the world should end
Your love is safe with me"

We found an old gray house
And you would not believe the way
We worked at night to fix it up
Took classes in the day
Paintin' walls and sippin' wine
Sleepin' on the floor
With so much love for just two
Soon we found there'd be one more

And she said,
"Rocky, I've never had a baby before
Don't know if I can do it
But if you let me lean on you
Take my hand, I might get through it" (through it)
I said, "Baby, oh sweet baby
It's love that sets us free
And God knows if the world should end
Your love is safe with me"

We had lots of problems then but
We had lots of fun
Like the crazy party
When our baby girl turned one
I was proud and satisfied
Life had so much to give
'Till the day they told me
That she didn't have long to live

She said,
"Rocky, I've never had to die before
Don't know if I can do it..."

Now it's back to two again
The little girl and I
Who looks so much like her sweet mother
Sometimes it makes me cry
I sleep alone at nights again
I walk alone each day
And sometimes when I'm about to give in
I hear her sweet voice say, to me

"Rocky, you know you've been alone before
You know that you can do it
But if you'd like to lean on me
Take my hand, I'll help you through it" (through it)
I said, "Baby, oh sweet baby
It's love that sets us free
And I told you when the world would end
Your love was safe with me"

She said,
"Rocky, you know you've been alone before
You know that you can do it
But if you'd like to lean on me...

Modey Lemon - Coffin Talk

Mmm, mm mm mm (4x)

My baby done
She long gone
picture on the wall
those flat eyeballs

Dead and in her grave
that long lived death of me
that foul flesh
but now ??

She used to scream, ooh Tommy
I used to scream, ooh Tommy
before she was buried in the earth

She used to talk back to me
and I used not ??
and when her mouth was full of worms

And now all she can say is
Mmm, mm mm mm (4x)

I leave the tombstone city every morning
And head out to her country grave
talk about the nightmares that I had
the night before and one thing lead
over my coffee and toast and eggs

She used to sing, ooh Tommy
I used to sing, ooh Tommy
before her mouth was full of worms

She used to talk back to me
and I used not ??
and when her mouth was full of worms

And all she can say is
Mmm, mm mm mm (4x)

And all she can say is
Mmm, mm mm mm (4x)

Now don't get me wrong
if she was here with me
we'd do that living dance again
I guess it's out now
I only dream of
doing that dance of the dead

She used to sing to me
She used to say, ooh Tommy
when she was put on the earth

She used to talk back to me
and I used dance with her
and when her mouth was full of worms

She says
Mmm, mm mm mm (4x)
See that's the coffin talk
Mmm, mm mm mm (4x)
