(1) EVERYBODY'S TALKING (Fred Neil)
Everybody's talking at me
But I don't hear a word they're saying
Only the echos of my mind
People stopping, staring
But I can't see their faces
Only the shadows of their eyes
I'm going where the sun keeps shining
Through the pouring rain
Going where the weather fits my clothes
Backing off from the northeast wind
Sailing on summer breeze
Skipping over the ocean like a stone
(2) BENNIE AND THE JETS (Elton John, Bernie Taupin)
Hey kids, shake it loose together
The spotlight's hitting something
That's been known to change the weather
We'll kill the fatted calf tonight
So stick around
You're gonna hear electric music
Solid walls of sound
Say, Candy and Ronnie, have you seen them yet
But they're so spaced out, Bennie and the Jets
Oh but they're weird and they're wonderful
Oh Bennie she's really keen
She's got electric boots a mohair suit
You know I read it in a magazine
Bennie and the Jets
Hey kids, plug into the faithless
Maybe they're blinded
But Bennie makes them ageless
We shall survive, let us take ourselves along
Where we fight our parents out in the streets
To find who's right and who's wrong
(3) SUMMER BREEZE (Jim Seals, Dash Crofts)
See the curtains hanging in the window
In the evening on a Friday night
A little light a shining through the window
Lets me know everything's alright
Chorus:
Summer breeze makes me feel fine
Blowing through the jasmine in my mind (2x)
See the paper laying in the sidewalk
A little music from the house next door
So I walk on up to the doorstep
Through the screen and across the floor
Chorus
Sweet days of summer, the jasmine in bloom
July is dressed up and playing her tune
And I come home from a hard day's work
And you're waiting there, not a care in the world
See the smile awaiting in the kitchen
Food cooking and plates for two
Feel the arms that reach out to hold me
In the evening when the day is through
Chorus
(4) NORWEGIAN WOOD (John Lennon, Paul McCartney)
I once had a girl, or should I say, she once had me.
She showed me her room, isn't it good, norwegian wood?
She asked me to stay and she told me to sit anywhere,
So I looked around and I noticed there wasn't a chair.
I sat on a rug, biding my time, drinking her wine.
We talked until two and then she said, "It's time for bed".
She told me she worked in the morning and started to laugh.
I told her I didn't and crawled off to sleep in the bath.
And when I awoke I was alone, this bird had flown.
So I lit a fire, isn't it good, norwegian wood.
(5) SOMETIMES IT SNOWS IN APRIL
(Prince, Rogers Nelson, Wendy Melvoin, Lisa Coleman)
Tracy died soon after a long fought civil war,
just after I'd wiped away his last tear
I guess he's better off now than he was before,
A whole lot better off than the fools he left here
I used to cry for Tracy because he was my only friend
Those kind of cars don't pass u every day
I used to cry for Tracy because I wanted to see him again,
But sometimes sometimes life ain't always the way...
Sometimes it snows in April
Sometimes I feel so bad, so bad
Sometimes I wish that life was never ending,
But all good things, they say, never last
Springtime was always my favorite time of year
A time for lovers holding hands in the rain
Now springtime only reminds me of Tracy's tears
Always cry for love, never cry for pain
He used to say so strong, "Oh, I'm not afraid to die"
Unafraid of the death that left me hypnotized
You know, staring at his picture I realize
No one could cry the way my Tracy cried
Sometimes it snows in April
Sometimes I feel so bad
Sometimes I wish that life was never ending
But all good things, they say, never last
I often dream of heaven and I know that Tracy's there
I know that he has found another friend
Maybe he's found the answer to all the April snow
Maybe one day I'll see my Tracy again
Sometimes it snows in April
Sometimes I feel so bad, so bad
Sometimes I wish that life was never ending
But all good things, they say, never last
All good things that say, never last
And love, it isn't love until it's past
(6) FIFTY WAYS TO LEAVE YOUR LOVER (Paul Simon)
"The problem is all inside your head", she said to me
"The answer is easy if you take it logically
I'm here to help you if you're struggling to be free
There must be fifty ways to leave your lover"
She said "It's really not my habit to intrude
For the more I hope my meaning won't be lost or misconstrued
But I'll repeat myself, at the risk of being crude
There must be fifty ways to leave your lover
fifty ways to leave your lover
Chorus:
Just slip out the back, Jack
Make a new plan, Stan
You don't need to be coy, Roy
Just listen to me
Hop on the bus, Gus
You don't need to discuss much
Just drop off the key, Lee
And get yourself free
She said, "It grieves me so to see you in such pain
I wish there was something I could do to make you smile again"
I said, "I appreciate that, then would you please explain About the fifty ways?"
She said, "Why don't we both just sleep on it tonight
I'm sure in the morning you'll begin to see the light"
And then she kissed me and I realized
She probably was right, there must be
Fifty ways to leave your lover
Fifty ways to leave your lover
chorus
(7) I'M HAVING A GAY TIME (Alberta Hunter)
After tonight, after tonight
Consider me gone
I'm having a good time
Please don't blame me
I'm knocking myself out
Don't you try to tame me
Let me have my fun
I ought to have my flame
Some folks say I'm blowing the top off
But talk don't mean a thing
I'm living my life while I'm living
Tomorrow I may die
That's why I'm having a ball today
I ain't passing nothing by
So if I make my bed high
That's my problem, let me lay
Having a good time living my life today
(8) THAT'S WHY GOD MADE THE MOVIES (Paul Simon)
When I was born my mother died
She said bye bye baby, bye bye
I said, "Where you going?
I'm just born"
She said I'll only be gone for a while
My mother loved to leave in style
That's why God made the movies
Well I laid around in my swaddling clothes
Until the doctor came and turned out the light
Then I packed my bag
And my nametag
And stole away into the night
Hoping things would work out right
That's why God made the movies
Say you will, say you will
Say you'll take me to your loving breast
Say you'll nourish me with your tenderness
The way the ladies sometimes do
Say you won't, say you won't
Say you won't leave me for no other man
Say you'll love me just the way I am
Say you'll love me
Say you will, say you will
When I was born my mother died
She said bye bye baby, bye bye
And since that day
I've paid my way
The notorious boy of the wild
Adopted by the wolves when he was a child That's why God. That's why God.
That's why God made the movies
(9) WALKING AWAY BLUES (Sonny Terry, Ry Cooder)
You can't plant cotton
And fix to have a tongue
You can't right people and make them wrong
Keep on walking
Walking my blues away
Well the sun is gonna shine on my backdoor someday
I once had a car
It was painted white and black
Couldn't keep up the payment
The man they took it back
Keep on walkin'
Walkin' my blues away
Well the sun is gonna shine on my backdoor someday
You know something people
That really gave me the blues
Didn't have no bottom on my walking shoes
Keep on walking
Walking my blues away
Well the sun is gonna shine on my backdoor someday
(10) STILL... YOU TURN ME ON (Greg Lake)
Do you want to be an angel?
Do you want to be a star?
Do you want to play some magic on my guitar?
Do you want to be a poet?
Do you want to be my string?
You could be anything
Do you want to be the lover
of another undercover?
You could even be the man on the moon
Do you want to be the player?
Do you want to be the string?
Let me tell you something
It just don't mean a thing
You see it really doesn't matter
When you're buried in disguise
By the dark glass of your eyes
Though your flesh has crystallised
Still... you turn me on
Do you want to be the pillow where I lay my head?
Do you want to be the feathers lying in my bed?
Do you want to be a colour cover magazine?
Create a scene
Every day a little sadder
A little madder
Someone get me a ladder
Do you want to be the singer?
Do you want to be the song?
Let me tell you something
You just couldn't be more wrong
You see I really have to tell you
That it all gets so intense
From my experience
It just doesn't seem to make sense
Still... you turn me on
(11) COOL WATER (Bob Nolan, revised lyrics by Joni Mitchell)
All day I face the barren waste
Without a taste of water, cool water
Old Dan and I, our throats slate dry
Our spirits cry out for water
Cool, clear water
Keep on movin' Dan, some devils had a plan
Buried poison in the sand, don't drink it man
It's in the water
Cool, clear water
In my mind I see a big green tree
And a river flowing free, waiting up ahead
For you and me
Cool, clear water
The nights are cool and I'm a fool
Each star is a pool of water
Cool water
But come the dawn
We carry on
We won't last long without water
Cool, clear water
Keep on moving Dan, we're still in no man's land
Dry bones and sand
People never planned here for water
Cool clear water
In my mind I see a big green tree
And a river flowing free, waiting up ahead
For you and me
Cool, clear water
The shadows sway, they seem to say
Tonight we pray for water
Cool water
And way up there, if you care
Please show us where there's good water
Cool, clear water
(12) VENTURA HIGHWAY (Deney Bunnel)
Chewing on a piece of grass
Walking down the road
Tell me, how long you're gonna stay here, Joe?
Some people say this town don't look good in snow
You don't care, I know
Ventura Highway, in the sunshine
Where the days are longer
The nights are stronger than moonshine
You're gonna go, I know
'Cause the free wind is blowing through your hair
And the days surround your daylights there
Seasons crying, no despair
Alligator lizards in the air
Wishing on a falling star
Waiting for the early train
Sorry boy, but I've been hit by purple rain
Aw, come on Joe, you can always change your name
Thanks a lot son, just the same
Ventura Highway in the sunshine
Where the days are longer
The nights are stronger than moonshine
You're gonna go, I know
'Cause the free wind is blowing through your hair
And the days surround your daylights there
seasons crying, no despair
Alligator lizards in the air
in the air
(13) I SHOT THE SHERIFF (Bob Marley)
I shot the sheriff
but I didn't shoot the deputy
I shot the sheriff
but I didn't shoot no deputy
All around in my home town
They're trying to track me down
They say they want to bring me in guilty
For the killing of a deputy
For the life of a deputy
But I say
I shot the sheriff
But I swear it was in self defence
I shot the sheriff
And they say it is a capital offence
Sheriff John Brown always hated me
For what I don't know.
Every time that I plant a seed
He said, "Kill it before it grows"
He said, "Kill it before it grows"
But I say
I shot the sheriff
But I swear it was in self defence
I shot the sheriff
But I swear it was in self defence
Freedom came my way one day
And I started out of town
All of a sudden I see sheriff John Brown
He was aiming to shoot me down
So I shot, I shot him down
But I say
I shot the sheriff
But I didn't shoot the deputy
I shot the sheriff
But I didn't shoot the deputy
Reflexes are the better of me
And what is to be must to be.
Every day the bucket goes to the well
But I say one day the bottom will drop out
Yes, one day the bottom will drop out
But I say
I shot the sheriff
But I didn't shoot the deputy
I shot the sheriff
But I didn't shoot the deputy.
(14) RUBY TUESDAY (Mick Jagger, Keith Richards)
She would never say where she came from
Yesterday don't matter if it's gone
While the sun is bright or in the darkest night
No one knows, she comes and goes
Goodbye, Ruby Tuesday
Who could hang a name on you
When you changed with every new day
Still I'm gonna miss you
Don't ask her why she needs to be so free
She'll tell you it's the only way to be
She just can't be chained to a life where nothing's gained
And nothing's lost at such a cost
Goodbye, Ruby Tuesday
Who could hang a name on you
When you changed with every new day
Still I'm gonna miss you
There's no time to lose, I heard her say
Cash your dreams before they slip away
Dying all the time, lose your dreams and you
Will lose your mind, ain't life unkind
Goodbye, Ruby Tuesday
Who could hang a name on you
When you changed with every new day
Still I'm gonna miss you
Goodbye, Ruby Tuesday
Who could hang a name on you
When you changed with every new day
Still I'm gonna miss you
