Rubber Ball

-Artist: Bobby Vee from "Very Best of Bobby Vee"-United Artists UA LA 332-E
-peak Billboard position # 6 in 1960-61
-Words and Music by Aaron Schroeder and Ann Orlowski

Rubber ball, I come bouncin' back to you

Rubber ball, I come bouncin' back to you
Ah-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

I'm like a rubber ball

Baby that's all that I am to you (bouncy, bouncy) (bouncy, bouncy)
Just a rubber ball
'cause you think you can be true to two (bouncy, bouncy) (bouncy, bouncy)
You bounce my heart around (You don't even put her down)
And like a rubber ball, I come bouncin' back to you
Rubber ball, I come bouncin' back to you

If you stretch my love till it's thin enough to tear

I'll just stretch my arms to reach you anywhere
And like a rubber ball, I'll come bouncin' back to you
Rubber ball, I'll come bouncin' back to you

<instrumental interlude>

You bounce my heart around (You don't even put her down)
And like a rubber ball, I come bouncin' back to you
Rubber ball, I come bouncin' back to you
Ah-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
(Bouncy, bouncy) (bouncy, bouncy)
(Bouncy, bouncy) (bouncy, bouncy)
Eee-eee-eee

I'm like a rubber band

When on my shoulder you do tap (bouncy, bouncy) (bouncy, bouncy)
Just a rubber band
Because my heartstrings, they just snap (bouncy, bouncy) (bouncy, bouncy)
You go and squeeze me till I'm all aflame
(She calls you by some other guy's name)
But like a rubber ball, I come bouncin' back to you
Rubber ball, I come bouncin' back to you
Rubber ball, I'll come bouncin' back to you
FADE
Rubber ball, I'll come bouncin' back to you
Rubber ball, I'll come bouncin' back to you

RUBBER BISQUIT
Blues Brothers

Note: Most of the song consists of unintelligible chanting like

"rum dum doo dibble dibble" and "ring ting ooh jibble habble"
but there are several intervals of spoken sentences while the
babbling pauses. There will always be a twilight zone for these
kind of songs - the Surfaris WIPEOUT "lyrics" are the single word
"wipeout" screamed at the begining of an instrumental song - but
here are the spoken parts:

Ooh do that again

Did you ever hear of a wish sandwich? Well it's the kind of sandwich
where you're supposed to take two pieces of bread and wish you had some
meat

The other day I ate a ricochet bisquit. Well it's the kind of a bisquit
that's supposed to bounce off a wall back into your mouth. If it don't
bounce back (boo-hoo) you go hungry

The other day I ate a cold water sandwich and a Sunday go to meeting bun

What do you want for nothing? A rubber bisquit?

Rubber Duckie you're my very best friend it's true
I find a little fellow who's cute and yellow and chubby

Hand me down my walkin' cane

Hand me down my hat
Hurry now and don't be late
'Cause we ain't got time to chat
You and me were goin' out
To catch the latest sound
Guranteed to blow your mind
so high you won't come down

Hey y'all prepare yourself for the rubberband man

You've never heard a sound
lLike the rubberband man
You're bound to lose control
When the rubberband starts to jam

Once I went to hear them play

at a club outside of town

RUBEN JAMES
Kenny Rogers and the First Edition

Ruben James, in my song you live again

And the phrases that I rhyme
Are just the footsteps out of time
From the time when I knew you Ruben James

Ruben James all the folks around Madison County

Cussed your name just a no
Count share croppin colored man
Who would steal anything he can
And they always laid the blame on Ruben James

Ruben James, you still walk furrowed fields on my mind

The faded skirt the weathered brow
The calloused hand up on the plow
I loved you then and I love you now Ruben James
Flora James, Ruben James

Gray, a gossip of Madison County died with child

And although your skin was black
It was you that would not turn your back
On a hungry white child with no name, Ruben James

Ruben James, with your mind on my soul

And the bible in your right hand
You said turn the other cheek
A better world is a waiting for the meek
In my head those words remain from Ruben James

Ruben James one dark cloudy day

That brought you from the fields
And to your lonely pine box came
Just a preacher, me and the rain
To sing one last refrain for Ruben James

Ruben James*
The Kingston Trio

Did not chart, but they included it on their 1961 LP "Close Up"
Written by Alex Harvey and Barry Etris
NOT to be confused with a totally different song with the same title by Kenny
Rogers and the First Edition in 1969

Have you heard of the ship called "The Good Ruben James?"
Armed by hard-fighting men both of honor and of fame
She flew the Stars and Stripes of the land of the free
But tonight she's in her grave at the bottom of the sea

CHORUS
Oh, tell me what were their names?, tell me what were their names?
Did you have a friend on The Good Ruben James?
Oh, tell me what were their names?, tell me what were their names?
Did you have a friend on The Good Ruben James?

One hundred men went down to their dark and watery grave
When that good ship went down, only forty-four were saved
Was the last day of October, they saved forty-four
From the dark, icy waters of that cold Iceland shore

CHORUS

It was there in the dark of that cold and watery night

They watched for the U-boat and they waited for a fight
Then a whine and a rock and a great explosion's roar
They laid the Ruben James on the cold ocean floor

CHORUS

Many years have passed since those brave men are gone
Those cold icy waters, they're still and they're calm
Many years have passed and still I wonder why
The worst of men must fight and the best of men must die

CHORUS

*TRANSCRIBER'S NOTE: This is a true story. The Ruben James (sometimes

spelled "Reuben") was the first American ship lost in World War 2.

Ruby

Artist: Ray Charles (peak Billboard position # 28 in 1960)

Words by Mitchell Parish and Music by Heinz Roemheld
from the movie "Ruby Gentry" starring Charlton Heston
There were 4 Top-30 versions of this song in 1953.

They say, Ruby you're like a dream

Not always what you seem
And though my heart may break when I awake
Let it be so, I only know
Ruby, it's you

They say, Ruby you're like a song

You just don't know right from wrong
And in your eyes I see heartaches for me
Right from the start, who stole my heart?
Ruby, it's you

I hear your voice and I must come to you (must come to you)
I have no choice, so what else can I do ? (what else can I do?)

They say, Ruby you're like a flame

Into my life you came
And though I should beware, still I just don't care
You thrill me so, I only know
Ruby, it's you

(I hear your voice and I must come to you)

(I have no choice, what else can I do ?-what can I do?)

They say, Ruby you're like a flame

Into my life you came
And though I should beware, still I don't care
You thrill me so, I only know
Ruby, it's you

RUBY ANN
Marty Robbins
Written by R. Bellamy

Recorded April 10, 1962 in Nashville

I said hello to the man that tried to win your hand

A long time ago.
I tried to smile as he talked of the days
When he was your beau,

But I could see he was a-shamin me

When he talked of his wealth and fame --
Ruby Ann took the hand of this poor, poor man,
Aint true love a funny thing?

Big man, you got money in your hand,

So what?
Youre at a table for two, but still theres only you,
Big shot!
Well, your money cant buy if your power cant hold,
You cant romance your fame --
Ruby Ann took the hand of this poor, poor man,
Aint true love a funny thing?

(lead break)

Big man, you got money in your hand,

So what?
Youre at a table for two, but still theres only you,
Big shot!
Well, your money cant buy if your power cant hold,
You cant romance your fame --
Ruby Ann took the hand of this poor, poor man,
Aint true love a funny thing?
Ruby Ann took the hand of this poor, poor man,
Aint true love a funny thing?

Ruby Tuesday
The Rolling Stones
(Mick Jagger/Keith Richards)

She would never say where she came from

Yesterady 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 change with every new day
Still I'm gonna miss you

Don't question 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 change with every new day
Still I'm gonna miss you

"There's no time to lose", I heard her say

Catch 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 change with every new day
Still I'm gonna miss you

Ruby Don't Take Your Love To Town

Kenny Rogers
Music & Lyrics : M. Tillis

You've painted up your lips and rolled and curled your tinted hair,
Ruby are you contemplating going out somewhere?
The shadows on the wall tell me the sun is going down,
Oh Ruby, don't take your love to town.

It wasn't me that started that old crazy Asian war,

But I was proud to go and do my patriotic chore,
And yes, it's true that I'm not the man I used to be,
Oh Ruby, I still need some company.

It's hard to love a man whose legs are bent and paralyzed,
And the wants and needs of a woman your age really I realize,
But it won't be long, I've heard them say, until I'm not around,
Oh Ruby, don't take your love to town.

She's leaving now cause I just heard the slamming of the door,
The way I know I heard its slams one hundred times before,
And if I could move I'd get my gun and put her in the ground,
Oh Ruby, don't take your love to town.

Oh Ruby, for God's sake, turn around

Rum and Coca-Cola

- words by Morey Amsterdam, music by Jeri Sullavan and Paul Baron
- lyrics written by comedian Morey Amsterdam who played Buddy Sorrell on The
Dick Van Dyke Show. He died of a heart attack Sunday, October 27, 1996
at the age of 87.
- as recorded by The Andrews Sisters with Vic Schoen & His Orchestra
October 18, 1944.

If you ever go down Trinidad

They make you feel so very glad
Calypso sing and make up rhyme
Guarantee you one real good fine time

Drinkin' rum and Coca-Cola

Go down Point Koomahnah
Both mother and daughter
Workin' for the Yankee dollar

Oh, beat it man, beat it

Since the Yankee come to Trinidad

They got the young girls all goin' mad
Young girls say they treat 'em nice
Make Trinidad like paradise

Drinkin' rum and Coca-Cola

Go down Point Koomahnah
Both mother and daughter
Workin' for the Yankee dollar

Oh, you vex me, you vex me

From Chicachicaree to Mona's Isle

Native girls all dance and smile
Help soldier celebrate his leave
Make every day like New Year's Eve

Drinkin' rum and Coca-Cola

Go down Point Koomahnah
Both mother and daughter
Workin' for the Yankee dollar

It's a fact, man, it's a fact

In old Trinidad, I also fear

The situation is mighty queer
Like the Yankee girl, the native swoon
When she hear der Bingo croon

Drinkin' rum and Coca-Cola

Go down Point Koomahnah
Both mother and daughter
Workin' for the Yankee dollar

Out on Manzanella Beach

G.I. romance with native peach
All night long, make tropic love
Next day, sit in hot sun and cool off

Drinkin' rum and Coca-Cola

Go down Point Koomahnah
Both mother and daughter
Workin' for the Yankee dollar

Rumbleseat
John Cougar Mellencamp

All the leaves are green

All my friends are gone
I'm livin' in my hometown
I can barely get along
I feel sorry for myself
That's an easy thing to do
I feel sorry for the world
I feel sorry for you
Yes I am a pitiful sight
I can't even get one thing right
Chorus
I know just what it's like
To be ridin' in the rumbleseat
Yes I know just what it's like
To be a big time rider in the rumbleseat
Well I could have a nervous breakdown
But I don't believe in shrinks
I should be drunker than a monkey
But I don't like to drink
Call up some girls
But I'm afraid of the phone
I'm always talkin' to myself
I guess I'm never alone
Am I the only one that feels this way
I'd buy myself some stylish clothes
But I sure hate to pay
Chorus
The sun is coming up
Just goin' to bed
I combed my hair with my pillow
Still got some dreams left
Tomorrow is a new day
Gonna make these dreams come true
I'm gonna believe in myself
I'll tell you what I'm gonna do
I'm gonna stop puttin' myself down
I'm gonna turn my life around
I'll be ridin' high
With my feet kicked up in the rumbleseat
Yeah we'll go for a drive
And we'll be singin' shotgun from that rumbleseat
Yes I'll blow you a kiss
And we'll be ridin' big time in my rumbleseat

Rumors
Timex Social Club

How do rumors get started?

they're started by the jealous people and
they get mad about somthin'they had, and sombody else is holdin'
They tell me that temptation is very hard to resist
these wicked women, oohh they just persist
maybe you think it's cute, but girl I'm not impressed
I tell you one time only with my business please don't mess

Look at all these rumors running me everyday

I just need some time some time to get away from
from all these rumors I can't take it no more
my best friend say did you hear the one about me
and the girl next door?

Did you hear the one about tina?

some say she's much too loose
that came straight from a guy who claims he's tastin' her juice
Did you hear the one about Michael?
Some say he must be gay
I tried to argue but they said if he were straight he would'nt move that way
Did you hear the one about Susan?
some say she's just a tease
in a camosal she's six feet tall she'll knock you to you knees..

Look at all these rumors running me everyday

I just need some time some time to get away from
from all these rumors I can't take it no more
my best friend say did you hear the one about me
and the girl next door?

I can't go no place without somebody pointin' a finger

I can't show my face cuz when it comes to rumors I'm a dead ringer
I'll think I'll write my congressman and tell him to pass a bill
the next time they catch somebody started rumors-shoot to kill!

Look at all these rumors running me everyday

I just need some time some time to get away from
from all these rumors I can't take it no more
my best friend say did you hear the one about me
and the girl next door?

RUMORS ARE FLYING

Frankie Carle/Les Paul
- words and music by Bennie Benjamin and George Weiss
- lyrics as recorded in Los Angeles July 22, 1946 by The Andrews Sisters
with Les Paul (guitar) and Vic Schoen & His Orchestra

Rumors are flying

That you've got me sighing
That I'm in a crazy kind of a daze
A lazy sort of a haze
When I go walking
I hear people talking
They say our affair is not just a passing phase

And they whisper 'bout the flowers

You keep sending me by the dozen
And they wonder 'bout the hours
That you spend with me, it keeps them buzzin'

Rumors are flying

And I'm not denying
That people are sure I'm falling in love with you
'Cause for a change, darling
All the rumors are true

------ guitar solo ------

And they whisper all about the flowers

The many little flowers you keep sending me by the dozen
And they wonder all about the hours
That you spend with your baby, what do you do-do-do
That keeps 'em buzzin' all the time, all the time

Rumors are flying

And I'm not denying
That people are sure I'm falling in love with you
'Cause for a change, darling
All the rumors are true

Run away, run away,
Run away if you want to survive
(repeat)

Money, sex and thought control

A generation without soul
Perfect people in a perfect world
Behind closed doors all in control

Lying, in a world of luxury

Cold cash money mentality

2-You gotta keep the faith

You gotta keep the faith
You better keep the faith and run away
(rpt 1)

3-It's time to break free, oh oh oh

Run away, oh oh oh
You better break free, oh oh oh
Run away, oh oh oh

Money, sex and thought control

Big brother is watching you
Unlock your brain and save your soul
No more limits, no more curfew
Live in a perfect system
Take a stand and fight for freedom

The Temptations

You played hooky from school

And you can't go out to play, yeah
Mama said for the rest of the week
In your room you gotta stay, yeah
Now you feel like
The whole world's pickin on you
But deep down inside you know it ain't true
You've been punished cause your mother
Wants to raise you the right way, yeah
But you don't care
Cause you already made up your mind
You wanna run away, yeah
You're on your way
Run away child, running wild
Run away child, running wild
Better come back home
Better come back home
Where you belong
Where you belone

Roaming through the city

Going nowhere fast
You're on your own at last
Hey it's getting late, where will you sleep
Gettin kind-a hungry
You forgot to bring something to eat
Oh lost with no money, you start to cry
But remember you left home
Wanting to be grown
So dry your weepin eyes
Siren screamin down, neon light is flickin
You want your mama
Ah there's nothing for you
You're frightened and confused
I want my mama
But she's much too far away
She can't hear a word you say
You heard some frightening news on the radio
About little boys running away from home
And their parents don't see them no more
You wanna hitch a ride and go home
But your mama told you never trust a stranger
And you don't know which way to go

Streets are dark and deserted

Not a sound nor sign of life
How you long to hear your mother's voice
Cause you're lost and alone
But remember you make the choice
Run away child, running wild
Better go back home where you belong
Run away child, running wild
Better go back home where you belong
You're lost in this great big city
(Go back home where you belong)
Not one familiar face
Ain't it a pity
(Go back home where you belong)

RUN FOR THE ROSES

Dan Fogelberg

Born in the valley

And raised in the trees
Of Western Kentucky
On wobbly knees
With mama beside you
To help you along
You'll soon be a-growing up strong

All the long, lazy mornings

In pastures of green
The sun on your withers
The wind in your mane
Could never prepare you
For what lies ahead
The run for the roses so red -

And it's run for the roses

As fast as you can
Your fate is delivered
Your moment's at hand
It's the chance of a lifetime
In a lifetime of chance
And it's high time you joined
In the dance
It's high time you joined
In the dance -

>From sire to sire

It's born in the blood
The fire of a mare
And the strength of a stud
It's breeding and it's training
And it's something unknown
That drives you and carries
You home

And it's run for the roses

As fast as you can
Your fate is delivered
Your moment's at hand
It's the chance of a lifetime
In a lifetime of chance
And it's high time you joined
In the dance
It's high time you joined
In the dance -

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,

Run Red Run

Coasters

(#36 Pop, #29 R&B - Nov. 1959)

Oh, Red went and bought himself a monkey

Got him from a pawn shop broker
Taught that monkey how to guzzle beer
And he taught him out to play stud poker
Last night when they were gambling in the kitchen
The monkey he was taking a beating
The monkey said Red, "I'm going to shoot you dead
Because I know that well, you been a cheating."

Chorus:
Well, run Red run, because he's got your gun
And he's aiming it at your head.
Run Red run, because he's got your gun,
And he's aiming it at your head.
You better get up and wail,
You better move your tail before he fills it full of lead.

Oh, Red jumped up and started to move like a P80-Saber Jet.

He zoomed around the corner, and he disappeared
And everybody started to stare.
The race was on, you know the chase was on
And Red he was all shook up
But, let me tell you sport, don't sell that monkey short,
Because he's a travelling son of a gun.

Repeat Chorus

(Saxaphone playing)

Monkey trapped Red in a parking alot.

Down along the Avenue,
Monkey said, "Red, you've made a man out of me,
Now I'm going to make a monkey out of you.
Give me your car keys, give me your wallet
Give it to me here, or I'll shoot
Going to put on your brand new Stetson hat
And go to town in your new brown suit."

RUN SAMSON RUN

Neil Sedaka

In the bible, 1000 year bc

There's a story of ancient history
Bout a fella who was strong as he could be
Till he met a cheatin gal who brought him tragedy

CHORUS: Oh, run Samson run, Delilah's on her way

Run Samson run, you ain't got time to stay
Run Samson run, on your mark you better start
I'd rather trust a hungry lion than a gal with a cheatin heart

She was a demon, a devil in disguise

He was taken by the angel in her eyes
That lady barber was very well equipped
You can bet your bottom dollar that he was gonna get clipped

CHORUS

Oh Delilah made Sammy's life a sin

And he perished when the roof fell in
There's a moral so listen to me pal
There's a little of Delilah in each and every gal

CHORUS
I'd rather trust a hungry lion than a gal with a cheatin heart

If you've found another guy

Who satisfies you more than I do
Run to him, I'll step aside

If you think his lips can kiss you

Better than my lips can kiss you
Run to him, forget my pride

If someone else's arms can hold you

Better than my arms can hold you
Go to him and show to him all your emo-oh-tion

If someone else can make you

Happier than I can make you
Run to him, my tears will dry

If someone else's arms can hold you

Happier than I can make you

Run to Me
Bee Gees

If ever you got rain in your heart,

someone has hurt you, and torn you apart,
am I unwise to open up your eyes to love me?

And let it be like they said it would be -

me loving you girl, and you loving me.
Am I unwise to open up your eyes to love me?

Run to me whenever you're lonely. (to love me)

Run to me if you need a shoulder
Now and then, you need someone older,
so darling, you run to me.

And when you're out in the cold,

no one beside you, and no one to hold,
am I unwise to open up your eyes to love me?

And when you've got nothing to lose,

nothing to pay for, nothing to choose,
am I unwise to open up your eyes to love me

Run to me whenever you're lonely. (to love me)

Run to me if you need a shoulder
Now and then you need someone older,
so darling, you run to me.

Run to you
Bryan Adams

She says her love for me could never die

But that'd change if she ever found out about you and I
Oh - but her love is cold
It wouldn't hurt her if she didn't know, 'cause...
When it gets too much
I need to feel your touch
I'm gonna run to you
I'm gonna run to you
Cause when the feelin's right I'm gonna run all night
I'm gonna run to you
She's got a heart of gold she'd never let me down
But you're the one that always turns me on
You keep me comin' 'round
I know her love is true
But it's so damn easy makin' love to you
I got my mind made up
I need to feel your touch
I'm gonna run to you
Ya - I'm gonna run to you
Cause when the feelin's right I'm gonna stay all night
I'm gonna run to you
Ya - I'm gonna run to you
Oh when the feelin's right I'm gonna run all night
I'm gonna run to you

Run To You
Whitney Houston
Written by Allan Rich, Jud Friedman

I know that when you look at me

There's so much that you just don't see
But if you would only take the time
I know in my heart you'd find
A girl who's scared sometimes
Who isn't always strong
Can't you see the hurt in me?
I feel so all alone

I wanna run to you (oooh)

I wanna run to you (oooh)
Won't you hold me in your arms
And keep me safe from harm
I wanna run to you (oooh)
But if I come to you (oooh)
Tell me, will you stay or will you run away

Each day, each day I play the role

Of someone always in control
But at night I come home and turn the key
There's nobody there, no one cares for me
What's the sense of trying hard to find your dreams
Without someone to share it with
Tell me what does it mean?

(chorus)

I need you here

I need you here to wipe away my tears
To kiss away my fears
If you only knew how much...

(chorus)

RUN, RUN, LOOK AND SEE

Brian Hyland

Run, run, look and see

Run, run, look and see

I thought I saw you yesterday

I could have sworn you'd passed my way
But it was too good to be true
And there was nothing I could do

CHORUS:
My heart says:
Run, run, look and see
Are my eyes just foolin' me?
While I'm runnin', I keep prayin'
All the time my heart keeps sayin':
Run, run, look and see
Run, run, look and see

Each time I hear our favorite song

I can't believe you're really gone
I hear your voice, I see your face
But then you're gone without a trace

(chorus)

Each time I see a crowd I stare

Just hopin' someday you'll be there
My heart says:
Run, run, look and see
Run, run, look and see

(instrumental)

(repeat last 2 lines of verse 2, then chorus)

Run-Around
Blues Traveler

Oh, once upon a midnight dearie

I woke with something in my head
I couldn't escape the memory
of a phone call and of what you said
Like a game show contestant with a parting gift,
I could not believe my eyes
When I saw through the voice of a trusted friend
Who needs to humor me and tell me lies

Yeah, humor me and tell me lies

and I'll lie, too, and say I don't mind
And as we seek, so shall we find
And when you're feeling open, I'll still be here
But not without a certain degree of fear
Of what will be with you and me
I still can see things hopefully, but you

1-Why you wanna give me a run-around?

Is it a surefire way to speed things up
When all it does is slow me down?
(oh, yeah)

Shake me and my confidence, about a great many things

But I've been there, I can see it cower
Like a nervous magician waiting in the wings
Of a bad play where the heroes are right
And nobody thinks or expects too much
And Hollywood's calling for the movie rights
Singin', hey, babe, let's keep in touch
Hey, baby, let's keep in touch
But I want more than a touch, I want you to reach me
And show me all the things no one else can see
So what ya feel becomes mine as well
And soon if we're lucky, we'd be unable to tell
What's yours and mine, the fishing's fine
And it doesn't have to rhyme
so don't you feed me a line
But you. (repeat 1)

Tra la-la bomba dear, this is the pilot speakin'

And I've got some news for you
It seems my ship still stands no matter what you drop
And there ain't a whole lot that you can do
Oh, sure, the banner may be torn
and the wind's gotten colder
Perhaps I've grown a little cynical
But I know no matter what the waitress brings
I shall drink in and always be full
Yeah, I will drink it and always be full
Oh, I like coffee, and I like tea
But to be able to enter a final plea
I still got this dream that you just can't shake
I love you to the point you can no longer take
Well, all right, o,k., so be that way
I hope and pray that there's something left to say
but you (repeat 1)

RUNAROUND SUE
Dion

Here's my story, sad but true

It's about a girl that I once knew
She took my love then ran around
With every single guy in town
Ah, I should have known it from the very start
This girl will leave me with a broken heart
Now listen people what I'm telling you
A-keep away from-a Runaround Sue

I miss her lips and the smile on her face

The touch of her hair and this girl's warm embrace
So if you don't wanna cry like I do
A-keep away from-a Runaround Sue

Ah, she likes to travel around

She'll love you but she'll put you down
Now people let me put you wise
Sue goes out with other guys
Here's the moral and the story from the guy who knows
I fell in love and my love still grows
Ask any fool that she ever knew, they'll say
Keep away from-a Runaround Sue

She likes to travel around

She'll love you but she'll put you down
Now people let me put you wise
Sue goes out with other guys
Here's the moral and the story from the guy who knows
I fell in love and my love still grows
Ask any fool that she ever knew, they'll say

Runaway
Janet Jackson
Album: Design of a Decade 1986/1996

Let's run away, there you go

I've seen the world, been to many places

Made lots of friends, many different races
I've had such fun, around the world, it's true
African skies, with a Nairobi moon, whoa
I feel asleep in Tuscany and dreamed

1-The one thing missing was you

Run away with me, my love, yeah, yeah, yeah
Nah-nah-nah-doo-doo
Run away with me my love yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I've woke up with an Australian breeze

And danced the dance with aborigines, whoa
Under the moon glow down in Mexico I dreamed
(rpt 1)

We'll sail the waters of many colors

Won't need a compass, love will guide our way
Don't need nobody long as we got each other
No need to hurry we've got every day

I wanna share the world with you, you see

Springtime in Paris feels so good to me, whoa
This is for me reality, so please

(rpt 1...
Make all my wishes come true...)

And I just know we'll have a good time, yeah

ooh-hoo-hoo
And I just know we'll have a good time, yeah
Oh, please come with me
And I just know we'll have a good time
It'll be fun, walking in the rain in Spain
And I just know we'll have a good time
Wait, didn't quite hit the note
That wasn't such a good time
And I just know we'll have a good time
Don't you think so? I do
And I just know we'll have a good time, yeah

Runaway
Bon Jovi

On the street where you live girls talk about their social lives
They're ma de of lipstick, plastic and paint
A touch of sable in their eyes

All your life all you asked

When is your Daddy gonna talk to you
But we're living in another world
Tryin' to get your message through

No one heard a single word you said

They should have seen it in your eyes
What was going around your head

* Ooh, she's a little runaway

Daddy's girl learned fast
All those things he couldn't say
Ooh, she's a little runaway

A different line everynight

Guarabteed to blow your mind
See you out on the streets
Call me for a wild time
So you sit home alone
'Cause there's nothing left that you can do
There's only pictures hung in the shadows
Left there to look at you

You konw she likes the lights

At night on the neon Broadway signs
And she don't really mind
Its only love she hoped to find

repeat *

No one heard a single word you said

They should have seen it in your eyes
What was going on your head

repeat *

Runaway
Del Shannon
(D. Shannon - M. Crook)

As I walk along I wonder a-what went wrong

With our love, a love that was so strong
And as I still walk on, I think of the things we've done
Together, a-while our hearts were young

I'm a-walkin' in the rain

Tears are fallin' and I feel the pain
Wishin' you were here by me
To end this misery
And I wonder
I wa-wa-wa-wa-wonder
Why
Ah-why-why-why-why-why she ran away
And I wonder where she will stay
My little runaway, run-run-run-run-runaway

------ Musitron solo ------

I'm a-walkin' in the rain

Tears are fallin' and I feel the pain
Wishin' you were here by me
To end this misery
And I wonder

And I wonder where she will stay
My little runaway, run-run-run-run-runaway

Runaway Train
Soul Asylum

Call you up in the middle of the night

Like a firefly without a light
You were there like a slow torch burning
I was a key that could use a little turning

So tired that I couldn't even sleep

So many secrets I couldn't keep
Promised myself I wouldn't weep
One more promise I couldn't keep

It seems no one can help me now

I'm in too deep
There's no way out
This time I have really led myself astray

CHORUS
Runaway train never going back
Wrong way on a one way track
Seems like I should be getting somewhere
Somehow I'm neither here no there

Can you help me remember how to smile

Make it somehow all seem worthwhile
How on earth did I get so jaded
Life's mystery seems so faded

I can go where no one else can go

I know what no one else knows
Here I am just drownin' in the rain
With a ticket for a runaway train

Everything is cut and dry

Day and night, earth and sky
Somehow I just don't believe it

CHORUS

Bought a ticket for a runaway train

Like a madman laughin' at the rain
Little out of touch, little insane
Just easier than dealing with the pain

Runaway train never comin' back

Runaway train tearin' up the track
Runaway train burnin' in my veins
Runaway but it always seems the same

From: "If you lived here, you'd be home now." <killyou@borg.com>

THE RUNNER
Manfred Mann's Earth Band

Through the night, through the dawn

Behind you another runner is born
Don't look back you've been there
Feel the mist as your breath hits the air
And it's underneath the moonlight
Passing some
Still your heart beats in the moonlight
Like a drum

Through the night, through the dawn

Behind you another runner is born
Don't look back, you've been there
Feel the mist as your breath hits the air
And it's underneath the moonlight
Passing some
Still your heart beats in the moonlight
Like a drum

And you will run your time

A shooting star across the sky
And you will surely cross the line
To pass on the flame
Sun come up, sun go down
Hear the feet see the sweat on the ground
Watch your step, keep your cool
Though you can't see what's in front of you

And it's underneath the moonlight

Passing some
Still your heart beats in the moonlight
Like a drum

And you will run your time

A shooting star across the sky
And you will surely cross the line
To pass on the flame
Pass on the flame
Through the night, through the dawn
Behind you another runner is born
Don't look back, you've been there
See the mist as your breath hits the air

And it's underneath the moonlight

Passing some
Still your heart beats in the moonlight
Like a drum

Runnin' Back To Saskatoon

The Guess Who
Written by Burton Cummings and Kurt Winter

~~~~~
{Spoken}
There's a province up in Canada that's right next door to ours.
It's called Saskatchewan. And, uh, in that province there's a
small town, uh, where nothing much ever happens, called
Saskatoon. This is a tune about that town. This is called
"Runnin' Back To Saskatoon".

Runnin' Down a Dream

Tom Petty
Album "Full Moon Fever"

It was a beautiful day, the sun beat down

I had the radio on, I was drivin'
trees flew by, me and Del were singin little Runaway
I was flyin'

Chorus:
Yeah runnin' down a dream
that never would come to me
workin' on a mystery, goin wherever it leads
runnin' down a dream

I felt so good like anything was possible

hit cruise control and rubbed my eyes
the last three days the rain was un-stoppable
it was always cold, no sunshine

Chorus

I rolled on; the sky grew dark

I put the pedal down to make some time
there's something good waiting down this road
I'm pickin up whatever is mine

Running Back To You

Vanessa Williams

Boy you've been running around too long

And I think you're running out of time
No more jumping in and out of my bed
It's time for me to draw the line
So you think that you call me the only one
Then walk out the door
And you think that you can run around having fun
And just come back for more
I think that you're living in a fantasy
It's got to be them or me
So if you try it one more time
Baby don't expect me to come running back

Running back to you

Then you'll think about love, all the good love
I gave to you
I won't come running
Running back to you
And I'll find someone, somebody else to give it to

Boy, hope you see before to late

I won't play the fool no not this time
And I'll show you just how wrong you are
To think I just can't get you out of my mind

So you think that you can just play me off

Then walk out the door
And you think that you can just run around
And come back for more
I think that you're living in a fantasy
It's got to be them or me
And if you dis me once more
Baby don't expect me to come running back

Running back to you

Then you'll think about love , all the good love
I gave to you
I won't come running
Running back to you
And I'll find someone, somebody else to give it to

You can't just dis me when you wanna

Or come and go when you wanna
I hear you're playing around when you wanna
Any time that you wanna
Or just tell me lies when you wanna
I got more than you want ah
Oh, and by the way

Running back to you

Then you'll think about love, all the good love
I gave to you
I won't come running
Running back to you
And I'll find someone, somebody else to give it to

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)

<sound of war whoops>

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)

Running on Empty
The Doobie Brothers
from Jackson Browne's Running on Empty album

Looking out at the road rushing under my wheels

Looking back at the years gone by like so many summer fields
In sixty-five I was seventeen and running up one-on-one
I don't know where I'm running now, I'm just running on

Running on-running on empty

Running on-running blind
Running on-running into the sun
But I'm running behind

Gotta do what you can just to keep your love alive

Trying not to confuse it with what you do to survive
In sixty-nine I was twenty-one and I called the road my own
I don't know when that road turned into the road I'm on

Running on-running on empty

Running on-running blind
Running on-running into the sun
But I'm running behind

Everyone I know, everywhere I go

People need some reason to believe
I don't know about anyone but me
If it takes all night, that'll be all right
If I can get you to smile before I leave

Looking out at the road rushing under my wheels

I don't know how to tell you all just how crazy this life feels
I look around for the friends that I used to turn to to pull me through
Looking into their eyes I see them running too

Running on-running on empty

Running on-running blind
Running on-running into the sun
But I'm running behind

Honey you really tempt me

You know the way you look so kind
I'd love to stick around but I'm running behind
You know I don't even know what I'm hoping to find
Running into the sun but I'm running behind

Running Scared

Artist: Roy Orbison (peak Billboard position #1 in 1961)

Words and Music by Roy Orbison and Joe Melson

Just runnin scared each place we go

So afraid that he might show
Yeah, runnin scared, what would I do
If he came back and wanted you

Just runnin scared, feelin low

Runnin scared, you love him so
Just runnin scared, afraid to lose
If he came back which one would you choose

Then all at once he was standing there

So sure of himself, his head in the air
My heart was breaking, which one would it be
You turned around and walked away with me.

RUNNING UP THAT HILL

Kate Bush

It doesn't hurt me, do you want to feel how it feels

Do you want to know, know that it doesn't hurt me
Do you want to hear 'bout the deal that I'm making
You, you and me

CHORUS:
And if I only could, I'd make a deal with God
And I'd get him to swap our places
Be running up that road, Be running up that hill
Be running up that building, If I only could oh...

You don't want to hurt me

But see how deep the bullet lies
Unaware I'm tearing you asunder
Ooh there is thunder in our hearts
Is there so much hate for the ones we love
'Tell me we both matter don't we
You, You and me, You and me won't be unhappy

CHORUS

You, You and me, You and me won't be unhappy

C'mon baby c'mon darlin'
Let me steal this moment from you now
Cone on angel, c'mon, c'mon darling
Let's exchange the experience oh
And if I only could
I'd make a deal with God
And I'd get him to swap our places
Be running up that road
Be running up that hill
With no problems
And if I only could
I'd make a deal with God
And I'd get him to swap our places
Be running up that road
Be running up that hill
With no problems
And if I only could
I'd make a deal with God
And I'd get him to swap our places
Be running up that road
Be running up that hill
With no problems
And if I only could
Be running up that hill
With no problems.

Running With The Night

Lionel Richie

The heart of the city street was beating

Light from the neons turned the dark to day
We were too hot to think of sleeping
We had to get out before the magic got away

(Chorus)
We were running with the night
Playing in the shadows
Just you and I, 'til the morning light
(We were running, running with the night)

You were looking so good girl, heads were turning

You and me on the town ooh, we let it all hang out
The fire was in us, we were burning
We were gonna go all the way and we never had a doubt

(Chorus)
We were running with the night
Playing in the shadows
Just you and I, 'til the morning light
(We were running, running with the night)

(Bridge)
We were so in love you and me
On the boulevard wild and free
Giving all we got, we laid it down
Taking every shot, we took the town

(Chorus)
We were running with the night
Playing in the shadows
Just you and I, girl it was so right, so right
(We were running) Oh (running with the night)

Just you and I (we were running)

We were running with the night
Playing in the shadows
Just you and I, girl it was so right (We were running)
Girl so right (running with the night)
So right ...
(Fade to end)

THE RUNWAY
Grass Roots

I've been a brother to sorrow

I've been surrounded by gloom
'Cause this hotel's got hot & cold runnin'
Heartache in every room
Checkin' out of here in the mornin'
Even that will be too much time
I'm gonna get up on a big white bird
Waitin' after you with a line

CHORUS:
Oh the runway is the one way to get back to you
Oh the runway is the one way to get back to you
If I have to beg, steal or borrow
I'll be seein' you, girl, tomorrow
Oh the runway is the one way to get back to you

TV's gonna get to me

Haven't heard a bit of good news
Who needs that when I'm sittin' here chewin'
I'm goin' struttin' in blues
I threw 'way to wake me at 7
Don't you wait a minute too long
I'm gonna leave with a one-way ticket
Goin' back to where I belong

(chorus)

Rush
Big Audio Dynamite II

If I have my time again

I would do it all the same
Ain`t change a single thing
Even when I was the blind
For the heartache and the pain
Got a cause throughout my ears
How I`d love to be your man
Through the laughter and the tears

Situation no win
Rush for the change of atmosphere
I can`t go on so I give in
Gotta get myself right outta here

Now I`m fully grown

And I know where it`s at
Somehow I stayed thin
While the other guys got fat
All the chances that are blown
And the times that I`ve been down
I didn`t get to high
Kept my feet on the ground

Situation no win
Rush for the change of atmosphere
I can`t go on so I give in
Gotta get myself right outta here

And of all my friends

You`ve been the best to me
Soon will be the day
When I repay you hands and knees
Broken hearts are hard to mend
I know I`ve had my share
But life just carries on
Even when I`m not there

Situation no win
Rush for the change of atmosphere
I can`t go on so I give in
Gotta get myself right outta here

Situation no win
Rush for the change of atmosphere
I can`t go on so I give in
Gotta get myself right outta here

Gotta get myself right

Gotta get myself right
Gotta get myself right
Outta there

Gotta get myself right

Gotta get myself right
Gotta get myself right
Outta there

Russians
Sting

In Europe and America, there's a growing feeling of hysteria

Conditioned to respond to all the threats
In the rhetorical speeches of the Soviets
Mr. Krushchev said we will bury you
I don't subscribe to this point of view
It would be such an ignorant thing to do
If the Russains love their children too

How can I save my little boy from Oppenheimer's deadly toy

There is no monopoly of common sense
On either side of the political fence
We share the same biology
Regardless of ideology
Believe me when I say to you
I hope the Russians love their children too

There is no historical precedent

To put words in the mouth of the president
There's no such thing as a winnable war
It's a lie we don't believe anymore
Mr. Reagan says we will protect you
I don't subscribe to this point of view
Believe me when I say to you
I hope the Russians love their children too

We share the same biology

Regardless of ideology
What might save us me and you
Is that the Russians love their children too

Rusty Bells
Brenda Lee
(Richard Albert ..Eddie Snyder)

No one praying in the chapel

Where so many prayed before......
And they've let the bells get rusty........
Don't they.... care.........anymore????????

Rusty bells.....Rusty bells....

Call your people back..... again......
Call them back to kneel again....and pray....

Rusty Bells ...Rusty bells....

Pity those who've gone astray....
Ring again and help ...them find the way......

When we're lost like little children

in a forest dark as night........
All we need is love to lead us...
from the dark.......to the light.....

Rusty Bells.....Rusty Bells.......

Fill our hearts with love again.......
and we'll all come back again...........to YOU...
and you'll shine like "new".............Rus..ty.........Bells.....

Roll Me Away
Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band
-from the album "The Distance"

Took a look down a westbound road right away I made my choice

Headed out to my big two wheeler I was tired of my own voice
Took a bead on the northern plains and just rolled that power on

Twelve hours out of Machinaw City stopped in a bar to have a brew

Met a girl and we had a few drinks and I told her what I'd decided to do
She looked out the window a long long moment then she looked into my eyes
She didn't have to say a thing I knew what she was thinkin'

Roll roll me away won't you roll me away tonight

I too am lost I feel double crossed and I'm sick of what's wrong and what's
right
We never even said a word we just walked out and got on that bike
And we rolled
And we rolled clean out of sight

We rolled across the high plains

Deep into the mountains
Felt so good to me
Finally feelin' free
Somewhere along a high road
The air began to turn cold
She said she missed her home
I headed on alone

Stood alone on a mountain top starin' out at the Great Divide

I could go east I could go west it was all up to me to decide
Just then I saw a young hawk flyin' and my soul began to rise
And pretty soon
My heart was singin'

Roll roll away I'm gonna roll me away tonight

Gotta keep rollin' gotta keep ridin' keep searchin' till I find what's right
And as the sunset faded I spoke to the faintest first starlight
And I said next time
Next time
We'll get it right

Roll On Down The Highway

Bachman-Turner Overdrive

We rented a truck and a semi to go

Travel down the long and winding road
Look on the map I think we've been here before,
Close the doors let's roll once more.

Cop on the corner, look he's startin' to write

I don't need no ticket so I screamed out of sight,
Drove so fast that my eyes can't see,
Look in the mirror is he still followin' me?

Let it roll down the highway

Let it roll down the highway,
Roll, roll.

Look at the sign, we're in the wrong place

Come on boys, let's get ready to race
454 coming over the hill
The man on patrol, is going to give us a bill.

The time's real short, you know the distance is long

I'd rather have a jet but it's not in the song
Climb back in the cab, cross your fingers for luck
We gotta keep movie' if we're going to make a buck.

Let it roll down the highway, . . .

Roll To Me
Del Amitri

1-Look around your world pretty baby

Is it everything you hoped it'd be
The wrong guy, the wrong situation
The right time to roll to me

Roll to me

Look into your heart pretty baby

Is it aching with some nameless need?
Is there something wrong
And you can't put your finger on it?
Right, then roll to me

2-And I don't think I have ever seen

A soul so in despair
So if you want to talk the night through
Guess who will be there?

So don't try to deny it pretty baby

You've been down so long you can hardly see
When the engine's stalled and it won't stop raining
It's the right time to roll to me
Roll to me
Roll to me

(rpt 2)

So, (rpt 1)
The right time to roll to me
The right time to roll to me...oooh

ROLL WITH IT
Steve Winwood

When life is too much, roll with it, baby

Don't stop and lose your touch, oh no, baby
Hard times knocking on your door, I'll tell them you ain't there no more
Get on through it, roll with it, baby
Luck'll come and then slip away, you've gotta move, bring it back to stay

You just roll with it, baby, come on and just roll with it, baby
You and me, roll with it, baby, hang on and just roll with it, baby

The way that you love is good as money

I swear by stars above, sweet as honey
People think you're down and out, you show them what it's all about
You can make it, roll with it, baby
When this world turns its back on you, hang in and do that sweet thing you do

You just roll with it, baby, you just roll with it, baby
Come on and just roll with it, baby, you and me, just roll with it, baby

Now there'll be a day you'll get there, baby, you'll hear the music play,
you'll dance, baby
You'll leave bad times way behind, nothing but good times on your mind
You can do it, roll with it, baby
Then you'll see life will be so nice, it's just a step up to paradise
You just roll with it, baby, you just roll with it, baby
You and me, just roll with it, baby, Come on and just roll with it, baby

ROMANCING THE STONE

Eddy Grant

(CHORUS:)
I'm romancing the stone, never leaving your poor heart alone
Every night and every day gonna love the hurtin' away
I'm romancing the stone, never leaving your poor heart alone
Every night and every day gonna love the hurtin' away

Tonight, tonight I'm falling where the peaceful waters flow

Where the unicorn's the last one at the water hole
I have found a love so precious, like an emerald so bold
It's a firelight escaping from the jeweller's hold

(CHORUS)

Oh and in the heat of rapture when I feel the cold winds blow
Through the broken glass, I'll see at last the sweet desire in you
I will climb up on my pulpit and I'll preach a sermon, you
On the mountain roads, in Harlem, feel my jeweller's hold

Dino

Verse 1
I can't believe the way I fell in love with you girl
You caught me by surprise
A dream come true
It was you
I didn't even know your name
Now you've got me thinking
'bout cha every single day girl
Can't get you off my mind
Cupid shot his arrow in my heart
And I'm not the same (No, no)

Bridge:
Just like a fairytale, I would sail
Oceans blue to get to you Valentine
Please be mine I want you girl

Chorus:
I'll be your Romeo
I love you so
I can't let go
Of these feelings in my heart

Verse 2:
I like the way you give me
Your affection every night girl
You really turn me on
It makes my day when you say
You're never gonna let me go (Oh no)
Now everything around me
Just reminds me more of you girl
I miss you when you're gone
Cupid's shot his arrow in my heart
And there's something you should know

Bridge:
Just like the movie screen
A love scene
Of me and you
The things we do
Cassanova move over
I want you girl

Chorus:
I'll be your Romeo
I love you so
I can't let go
Of these feelings in my heart

(Rap)
(Solo)
(Chorus to end)
(Adlib line)
I would climb a mouintain baby
Anything for you
I would swim across the ocean
Just to get to you

(Steve Forbert)

Meet me in the middle of the day

Let me hear you say everything's okay
Bring me southern kisses from your room
Meet me in the middle of the night
Let me hear you say everything's alright
Let me smell the moon in your perfume

Oh, Gods and years will rise and fall

And there's always something more
It's lost in talk, I waste my time
And it's all been said before
While further down behind the masquerade the tears are there
I don't ask for all that much I just want someone to care
That's right now

Meet me in the middle of the day

Let me hear you say everything's okay
Come on out beneath the shining sun

Meet me in the middle of the night

Let me hear you say everything's alright
Sneak on out beneath the stars and run

Oh yeah, oh yeah yeah, oh yeah

It's king and queen and we must go down now beyond the chandelier
Where I won't have to speak my mind and you won't have to hear
Shreds of news and afterthoughts and complicated scenes
We'll huddle down behind the light and fade like magazines

Meet me in the middle of the day

Let me hear you say everything's okay
Bring me southern kisses from your room

Hey hey, meet me in the middle of the night

Let me hear you say everything's alright
Let me smell the moon in your perfume

Oh now, meet me in the middle of the day

Let me hear you say everything's okay
Let me see you smiling back at me

Hey, meet me in the middle of the night

Let me hear you say everything's alright
Hold me tight and love and loving's free

Woah yeah

RONI
Bobby Brown

The truth about a roni, she's a sweet little girl

You can treat her right, feel nice, and hold her tight
Only tenderonies can give a special love
A special kind of love that makes ya feel good inside

BRIDGE
If you believe in love and all that it can do for you
Give it a chance, girl, you'll find romance
And if you find a tenderoni that is right for you
Make it official, give her your love

CHORUS
My heart belongs to my roni (she's my only love)
She's my only love
My heart belongs to my roni (she's my only love)
She's my only love

The truth about a roni, she's always on the phone

Talking to her homeboy, wishin' they were home alone
She sends ya lovely letters, with the smell of sweet perfume
This is what a real tenderoni likes to do for you

BRIDGE
CHORUS

The truth about a roni, she's a sweet ol' girl

About the sweetest little girl in the whole wide world
She'd make the toughest homeboy fall deep in love
And once you've had a roni, you never give her up
She's a special kind of girl that makes her daddy feel proud
You know, the kind of girl that stands out in crowds
If you found a tenderoni and a roni is so right
I think I'm gonna love her for the rest of my life

Room Full of Roses

Sammy Kaye
Music and lyrics by Tim Spencer

If I sent a rose to you

For everytime you made me blue
You'd have a room full of roses
If I sent a rose of white
For every time I cried all night
You'd have a room full of roses

And if you took the petals

And you took them all apart
You'd be tearing at the roses
Just the way you tore my heart

If someday you're feeling blue

And you could send some roses too
Well I don't want a room full of roses
I just want my arms full of you

<instrumental>

And if you took the petals

And you took them all apart
You'd be tearing at the roses
Just the way you tore my heart

If someday you're feeling blue

And you could send some roses too
Well I don't want a room full of roses

ROOM TO MOVE
ANIMOTION

I know it seems like I'm a million miles away

At times you feel like you don't even know me
But in this world the pressure's building everyday
And I need time to work things out - oh baby

It's not that I don't love you - oh no

It's just that I - I've got to have -

Room to move - that's all I need

That's all I ask for - room to breathe
Room to move - that's all I need
That's all I ask for - give it to me
Room to move - everybody needs - room to move

Everybody needs some freedom to survive

To shake the chains of responsability
And you can help me make this feeling come alive
'Cos when you hold me close - that's when you set me free

Girl you know I'll always love you - oh yeah

'Cos when we touch - I get so much

You lose your mind - if you don't take time

You cross that line and your mind explodes
You push too hard - and your feelings starve
Emotions are - all destroyed
Girl you know I'll always love you - oh yeah
'Cos when we touch - I get so much

Rooms on Fire
Stevie Nicks
(S. Nicks, R. Nowels)

Somewhere out in the back of your mind (Somewhere)

Comes your real life and the life that you know
It seems like it was the creation of some of those same old things
It seemed to be the only thing left out in the light
She had trusted many...
But been unfamiliar with...
Almost everyone but you

Well maybe I'm just thinking that the rooms are all on fire
Everytime that you walk in the room
Well there is magic all around you, if I do say so myself...
I have known this much longer than I've known you

She had trusted many...

And then there would be someone who would enter into her presence
That she could sense for miles...
She dreamed of her wanton luxury
And she laughed and she cried...and she tried to taunt him
And he hated to be separated...
From that picture...No...

Well maybe I'm just thinking that the rooms are all on fire
Everytime that you walk in the room
Ooh, well there is magic all around you, if I do say so myself...
Well I have known this much longer than I've known you

Long nets of white cloud my memory...

Long nets of white cloud my memory...
Ooh...there is magic...all around you...
Everytime you walk in the room...

Well maybe I'm just thinking that the rooms are all on fire
Everytime that you walk in the room
Well there is magic all around you, if I do say so myself...
Well I have known this much longer than I've known you...

(Hook)
Ah ha, hush that fuss
Everybody move to the back of the bus
Do you wanna bump and slump with us
We the type of people make the club get crunk

Verse 1:(Big Boi)

Many a day has passed, the night has gone by
But still I find the time to put that bump off in your eye
Total chaos, for these playas, thought we was absent
We takin another route to represent the Dungeon Family
Like Great Day, me and my nigga decide to take the back way
We stabbing every city then we headed to that bat cave
A-T-L, Georgia, what we do for ya
Bull doggin hoes like them Georgetown Hoyas
Boy you sounding silly, thank my Brougham aint sittin pretty
Doing doughnuts round you suckas like then circles around titties
Damn we the committee gone burn it down
But us gone bust you in the mouth with the chorus now

(Hook)

I met a gypsy and she hipped me to some life game

To stimulate then activate the left and right brain
Said baby boy you only funky as your last cut
You focus on the past your ass'll be a has what
Thats one to live by or either that one to die to
I try to just throw it at you determine your own adventure
Andre, got to her station here's my destination
She got off the bus, the conversation lingered in my head for hours
Took a shower kinda sour cause my favorite group ain't comin with it
But I'm witcha you cause you probably goin through it anyway
But anyhow when in doubt went on out and bought it
Cause I thought it would be jammin but examine all the flawsky-wawsky
Awfully, it's sad and it's costly, but that's all she wrote
And I hope I never have to float in that boat
Up shit creek it's weak is the last quote
That I want to hear when I'm goin down when all's said and done
And we got a new joe in town
When the record player get to skippin and slowin down
All yawl can say is them niggas earned that crown but until then...

Rosalie, my darling

Won't you make my life thrilling

All I wanna do in the middle of the evening is hold you tight

Not quite a year since you went away, Rosanna yeah
Now she's gone and I have to say:
Meet you all the way, meet you all the way, Rosanna yeah
Meet you all the way, meet you all the way, Rosanna yeah

I can see your face still shining through the window on the other side
Rosanna, Rosanna
I didn't know that a girl like you could make me feel so sad, Rosanna

All I wanna tell you is now you'll never ever have to compromise

The Rose
Bette Midler

Some say love, it is a river

That drowns the tender reed
Some say love, it is a razor
That leaves your soul to bleed
Some say love, it is a hunger,
An endless aching need
I say love, it is a flower,
And you its only seed

It's the heart, afraid of breaking,

That never learns to dance
It's the dream, afraid of waking,
That never takes a chance
It's the one who won't be taken,
Who cannot seem to give
And the soul, afraid of dyin',
That never learns to live

When the night has been too lonely,

And the road has been too long
And you think that love is only
For the lucky and the strong
Just remember in the winter
Far beneath the bitter snows
Lies the seed, that with the sun's love,
In the spring becomes the rose

A Rose and A Baby Ruth

- Artist: George Hamilton IV as sung on "Teen Idols-For A Moment"

- Collector's Choice Music MSD 35800
- peak Billboard position # 6 in 1956
- Words and Music by John D. Loudermilk

Doo, doo, doo, doo

Doo, doo, doo, doo

We had a quarrel
A teenage quarrel
Now I'm as blue as I know how to be
I can't call you on the phone
I can't even see you at your home

So I'm sending you this present

Just to prove that I'm telling the truth
Dear, I believe you won't laugh when you receive
This rose and a Baby Ruth

(Doo, doo, doo, doo)

(Doo, doo, doo, doo)
(Doo, doo, doo, doo, ahh)

I could have sent you an orchid of some kind

But that's all I had in my jeans at the time

But when we grow up

Some day I'll show up
Just to prove I was telling the truth
I'll kiss you, too, then I'll hand to you
This rose and a Baby Ruth

(Doo, doo, doo, doo)

(Doo, doo, doo, doo)
(Doo, doo, doo, doo, ooh)

Rose Garden
Lynn Anderson
(peak Billboard position # 3 in 1971)
Words and Music by Joe South

I beg your pardon

I never promised you a rose garden
Along with the sunshine
There's gotta be a little rain some time
When you take you gotta give so live and let live
Or let go oh-whoa-whoa-whoa
I beg your pardon
I never promised you a rose garden

I could promise you things like big diamond rings

But you don't find roses growin' on stalks of clover
So you better think it over
Well if sweet-talkin' you could make it come true
I would give you the world right now on a silver platter
But what would it matter
So smile for a while and let's be jolly
Love shouldn't be so melancholy
Come along and share the good times while we can

I beg your pardon

I never promised you a rose garden
Along with the sunshine
There's gotta be a little rain some time

<brief instrumental interlude>

I beg your pardon

I never promised you a rose garden

I could sing you a tune and promise you the moon

But if that's what it takes to hold you
I'd just as soon let you go
But there's one thing I want you to know
You better look before you leap, still waters run deep
And there won't always be someone there to pull you out
And you know what I'm talkin' about
So smile for a while and let's be jolly
Love shouldn't be so melancholy
Come along and share the good times while we can

I beg your pardon

I never promised you a rose garden

There's gotta be a little rain some time

Rose O'Day,
Rose O'Day,
You're my filla-da-gusha,
Filla-ma-rusha,
Bah-da-rah-da-boom-foo-dee-ay.

Johnny McCarthy loved Rosie O'Day,

She was the prettiest thing,
And every night,
In his sweet Irish way,
Under her window he'd sing,

"Rose O'Day,
Rose O'Day,
You're my filla-da-gusha,
Filla-ma-rusha,
Bah-da-rah-da-bomm-foo-dee-ay."

"You're daring,
You're darling,
You're lovely,
That's what I mean,
When I say,
Rose O'Day,
Rose O'day,
You're my filla-da-gusha,
Filla-ma rusha,
Bah-da-rah-da-bomm-foo-dee-ay."

Rosealia
Better Than Ezra
Album: Deluxe

Where have you gone my Rosealia?

Into the crowd he'll never find you
If you walk real fast and you stay down low

1-So many times, so many chances

This one could be your last
You say, "No, no, no the fighting has left me tired"
You say, "No, no, no" but the hurting goes on
Put on your mask wearing your cape
Put on your mask, my Rosealia
Put on your mask wearing your cape
Put on your mask, my Rosealia

What has he done my senorita?

His kind of love is going to kill you
Do you fake a smile when you dodge the blows?
(repeat 1)

Ladies and gentlemen of America..

There'll no longer be hurt

Jealousy can rip your heart out
And jealousy can turn a hand into a fi--ist

Roses Are Red (My Love)

Bobby Vinton

Roses are red, my love ... doo doo da doooo ...

A long, long time ago

On graduation day
You handed me your book
I signed this way:

"Roses are red, my love.

Violets are blue.
Sugar is sweet, my love.
But not as sweet as you."

We dated through high school.

And when the big day came,
I wrote into your book,
next to my name:

"Roses are red, my love.

Violets are blue.
Sugar is sweet, my love.
But not as sweet as you."

Then I went far away

And you found someone new
I read your letter dear
And I wrote back to you:

"Roses are red, my love.

Violets are blue.
Sugar is sweet, my love.
But luck may god bless you."

Is that your little girl?

She looks a lot like you.
Someday some boy will write
in her book, too.

"Roses are red, my love.

Violets are blue.
Sugar is sweet, my love.
But not as sweet as you."

What in the world's come all over me?

I ain't got a chance of one in three.
Ain't got no rap, ain't got no line
but if you'll give me just a minute I'll be feelin' fine.

I am the one who can fade the heat,

the one they all zzay just can't be beat.
I'll shoot it to you straight and look you in the eye.
So gimme just a minute and I'll tell you why
I'm a rough boy, I'm a rough boy.

I don't care how you look at me

because I'm the one and you will see
we can make it work, we can make it by.
So give me one more minute and I'll tell you why
I'm a rough boy, I'm a rough boy.

if you believe in me
like I believe in you
you wouldn't be tellin' me things
that weren't exactly true
now everythin' changes
ain't nothin' the same
I'm gettin' the strangest feelin' baby
I can't remember my name
cause the life I been livin'
and the love I been givin'
would be sure to set you spinnin'
but you ain't never touchin' ground
and I'm round and round
well it was one for all
and it was all for one
and everything that we did
never bothered no one
can you remember the days
when you were sweet sixteen
and always caught in the blaze
of someone else's dreams
I'm goin' round and round ( x 16 )
I'm goin' round and round ( x 1,000,000 )

Can u tell me where we're goin' 2?

Can u tell me what it is we really want 2 find?
Is the truth really there or is it right under our hair?
4 all we know it's been there all the time

I say, nothin' comes from dreamers but dreams

I say, sittin' idle in our boat
While everyone else is down the stream
Nothin' comes from talkers but sound
We can talk all we want 2

Chorus:
But the world still goes around and round
Round and round
We go round and round
And what we're lookin' 4 still isn't found
Stop talkin' and do something

Can u tell me when we gonna get 2 it?

I'm tired of foolin' around
I said, I want 2 do it
I learned my lesson young
I say, if u really want 2 have fun - go 4 it
And when u win, say "I knew it"

One day I'll make it in the big city

And I'll be lookin' 4 a girl who's pretty

Round and Round

Artist: Perry Como (peak Billboard position # 1 in 1957)

Words and Music by Lou Stallman and Joe Shapiro

Find a wheel and it goes round, round, round

As it skims along with a happy sound
As it goes along the ground, ground, ground
Till it leads you to the one you love

Then your love will hold you round, round, round

In your heart's a song with a brand new song
And your head goes spinning round, round, round
'cause you've found what you've been dreamin' of

In the night you see the oval moon

Going round and round in tune
And the ball of sun in the day
Makes a girl and boy wanna say

Find a ring and put it round, round, round

And with ties so strong that two hearts are bound
Put it on the one you've found, found, found
For you know that this is really love

Find a wheel and it goes round, round, round

As it skims along with a happy sound
As it goes along the ground, ground, ground
Till it leads you to the one you love

Then your love, you'll hold her round, round, round

In your heart's a song with a brand new song
And your head goes spinning round, round, round
'cause you've found what you've been dreamin' of

In the night you see the oval moon

Going round and round in tune
And the ball of sun in the day
Makes a girl and boy wanna say

Find a ring and put it round, round, round

And with ties so strong your two hearts are bound
Put it on the one you've found, found, found
For you know that this is really love

Find a ring, out it on

For you know that this is really love, really love, really love

Stop feeling sad now, life ain't so bad, now

When Columbus sailed away to other shores

How could he imagine all that waited for him?

Leave all the blue days, think about the new days
'round ev'ry corner ('round ev'ry corner)
Everything is yours, now, open all the doors, now

Man will soon be standing on the moon above

Just imagine all the things that he'll discover

Around ev'ry corner, (instrumental repeat)

You've gotta stop a-sittin' there on the shelf

You've gotta start lookin' out for yourself, yeah

Around ev'ry corner, (Around ev'ry corner)

Around ev'ry corner, (Around ev'ry corner)
What's the use in crying? Happiness is lying
Around ev'ry corner, (Around ev'ry corner)
And if you want a true love, look for a new love
Around ev'ry corner, (Around ev'ry corner)

Just forget the worries that you leave behind

There are many things to do and you can find them

Roundabaout
Yes
(Jon Anderson/Steve Howe)

I'll be the round about

The words will make you out 'n' out
You change the day your way
Call it morning driving thru the sound and
In and out the valley

The music dance and sing

They make the children really ring
I spend the day your way
Call it morning driving thru the sound and
In and out the valley

CHORUS

In and around the lake

Mountains come out of the sky and they stand there
One mile over we'll be there and we'll see you
Ten true summers we'll be there and laughing too
Twenty four before my love you'll see
I'll be there with you

I will remember you

Your silhouette will charge the view
Of distance atmosphere
Call it morning driving thru the sound and
Even in the valley

CHORUS

Along the drifting cloud the eagle searching

Down on the land
Catching the swirling wind the sailor sees
The rim of the land
The eagle's dancing wings create as weather
Spins out of hand

Go closer hold the land feel partly no more

Than grains of sand
We stand to lose all time a thousand answers
By in our hand
Nex to your deeper fears we stand
Surrounded by a million years
I'll be the roundabout
The words will make you out 'n' out
I'll be the roundabout
The words will make you out 'n' out

CHORUS

I'll be the roundabout

The words will make you out 'n' out
I spend the day your way
Call it morning driving thru the sound and
In and out the valley

CHORUS

The Roving Kind

Guy Mitchell
Written by Jesse Cavanaugh and Arnold Stanton

Peaked at # 4 in 1951
Competing versions by The Weavers hit # 11 and by Rex Allen hitt #20.
Adapted from the old 1800s English folk song "The Pirate Ship."

(She had a dark and a-rovin' eye-uh-eye and her hair hung down in ring-a-lets)
(She was a nice girl, a proper girl but one of the rovin' kind)

As I cruised out one eve-e-ning upon a night's career

I spied a lofty clipper ship and to her I did steer
I heisted out my sig-a-nals which she so quickly knew
And when she saw my bunting fly she imme-diately hove to-woo-woo

(She had a dark and a-rovin' eye-uh-eye and her hair hung down in ring-a-lets)
(She was a nice girl, a proper girl but one of the rovin' kind)

I took her for some fish and chips and treated her so fine
And hardly did I realize she was the rovin' kind
I kissed her lips, I missed her lips and found to my surprise
She was nothin' but a pirate ship rigged up in a dis-guy-eye-ise

(She had a dark and a-rovin' eye-eye-eye)

And her hair hung down in ring-a-lets
(She was a nice girl, a proper girl but one of the rovin' kind)

So, come all ye good sailor men who sail the wintry sea
And come, all ye apprentice lads, a warnin' take from me
Beware of lofty clipper ships, they'll be the ruin of you
For 'twas there she made me walk the plank and pushed me under, too-ooh-ooh

(She had a dark and a-rovin' eye-uh-eye and her hair hung down in ring-a-lets)
She was a nice girl, a proper girl but one of the rovin' kind

(She was a nice girl, a proper girl but)

One of the rovin' kind (yo-ho!)

The Police

Roxanne
You don't have to put on the red light
Those days are over
You don't have to sell your body to the night

Roxanne
You don't have to wear that dress tonight
Walk the streets for money
You don't care if it's wrong or if it's right

Roxanne
You don't have to put on the red light

I loved you since I knew you

I wouldn't talk down to you
I have to tell you just how I feel
I won't share you with another boy
I know my mind is made up
So put away your make up
Told you once I won't tell you again

It's a bad way

Roxanne
You don't have to put on the red light

You don't have to put on the red light

(I'M A) ROAD RUNNER

Jr. Walker and the All-Stars

Money, who needs it,

Let me live my life free and easy,
Put my toothbrush in my hand,
And let me be a travelin' man
Cause I'm a road runner, aby.
I'm a road runner, baby,
Can't stay in one place too long,
I'm a road runner baby,
You might look at me and I'll be gone.
You can love me if you wanna,
But I do declare,
When I get restless
I got to move somewhere
I'm a road runner baby,
Anywhere's my home,
And love the life I live,
And I'm gonna live the life I love
Road runner, baby.
Don't want no woman to tie me down,
Got to be free, baby
To roam around.
All my life I've been like this,
If you love me it's your own risk,
When the dust hit my shoe,
I got the urge to move
Says I'm a road runner baby,
Got to keep on keepin on.
And I live the life I love,
And I'm gonna love the life I live
Road runner, baby.

Roam
B-52s

I near a wind
Whistling air
Whispering in my ear

Boy Mercury shootin' through every degree

OOO girl dancin' down those dirty and dusty trails
Take it hip to hip rocket through the wilderness
Around the world the trip begins with a kiss

Roam if you want to

Roam around the world
Roam if you want to
Without wings, without wheels
Roam if you want to
Without anything but the love we feel

Skip the air-strip for the sunset

Ride the arrow for the target---One
Take it hip to hip rock it through the wilderness
Around the world the trip begins with a kiss

Chorus

Fly the great big sky

See the great big sea
Kick through continents
Bustin' boundaries
Take it hip to hip rocket through the wilderness
Around the world the trip begins with a kiss

Chorus

Take it hip to hip

Rocket through the wilderness

Rock And Roll (I gave the best years of my life)

Mac Davis

I can still remember

When I bought my first guitar,
Remember just how good the feeling
To put it proudly in my car,
And my fam'ly listened fifty times
To my two song repertoire.
I told my mom
Her only son was gonna be a star.
Bought all the Beatles records,
I sounded just like Paul,
I bought all the old Chuck Berry's 78's and all
I sat by my record player
Playing ev'ry note they played.
I watched them all on TV
Making ev'ry move they made.

Rock and roll, I gave you all

The best years of my life
All the dreamy sunny Sundays,
All the moonlit summer nights.
I was so busy in the backroom
Writing love songs to you
While you were changing your direction
And you never even knew
That I was always just one step behind you.

'66 seemed like the year

I was really going somewhere;
> We were living in San Francisco
> With flowers in our hair,
> Singing songs of kindness
> So the world would understand,
> To the guys and me you were something more
> Than just another band.
>
> And then sixty-nine in L. A.
> Came around so soon,
We were really making headway
And writing lots of tunes,
And we must have played
The wildest stuff that we had ever played,
And the way the crowds cried out for us,
We thought we had it made.

Rock and roll, I gave you all

The best years of my life,
All the crazy, lazy, young days,
All the magic moon at night.
I was so busy on the road
Singing love songs to you,
while you were changing your direction
And you never even knew
That I was always just one step behind you.

Seventy-one and so alone

When I met Susanne,
I was trying to go it solo
With someone else's band.

She came up to me later

And I took her by the hand,
And I told her all my troubles
And she seemed to understand.

And she followed me through London

Through a hundred hotel rooms,
Through a hundred record companies
Who didn't like my tunes;
She followed me when finally
I sold my old guitar,
She tried to help me
Understand I'd never be a star.

Rock and roll, I gave you

All the best years of my life,
All the dreamy, sunny Sundays,
All the moonlit summer nights,
And though I never knew
The magic of making it with you,
That I thank the Lord for giving me
The little bit I knew,
And I was always just one step behind you.

A ROCK 'N' ROLL FANTASY

The Kinks

Hello you, hello me, hello people we used to be

Isn't it strange, we never changed
We've been through it all yet we're still the same
And I know it's a miracle, we still go, and for all we know
We might still have a way to go
Hello me, hello you, you say you want out
Want to start anew, throw in your hand
Break up the band, start a new life, be a new man
But for all we know, we might still have a way to go
Before you go, there's something you ought to know
There's a guy in my block, he lives for rock
He plays records day and night
And when he feels down, he puts some rock 'n' roll on
And it makes him feel alright
And when he feels the world is closing in
He turns his stereo way up high
He just spends his life, living in a rock 'n' roll fantasy
He just spends his life, living on the edge of reality
He just spends his life, in a rock 'n' roll fantasy
He just spends his life, living in a rock 'n' roll fantasy
He just spends his life, living on the edge of reality
He just spends his life, in a rock 'n' roll fantasy
He just spends his life, livingt in a rock 'n' roll fantasy
Look at me, look at you
You say you've got nothing left to prove
The King is dead, rock is done
You might be through but I've just begun
I don't know, I feel free and I won't let go
Before you go, there's something you ought to know
Dan is a fan and he lives for our music
It's the only thing that gets him by
He's watched us grow and he's seen all our shows
He's seen us low and he's seen us high
Oh, but you and me keep thinking
That the world's just passing us by
Dont' want to spend my life, living in a rock 'n' roll fantasy
Don't want to spend my life living on the edge of reality
Don't want to waste my life, hiding away anymore
Don't want to spend my life, living in a rock 'n' roll fantasy...

Rock 'n' Roll is King

E.L.O

Listen everybody let me tell you 'bout the rock 'n' roll
Feel that rhythm and it's really gonna thrill your soul
She said come along with me, to a land of make believe
She said rock 'n' roll is king

She loves that rock 'n' roll and she plays it all night long
That's all she ever tells me when I call her on the telephone
She says feel that jumpin' beat, and git up on your feet
She says rock 'n' roll is king

Chorus:
Oh let those guitars play
Play for me play for me
Oh let that song ring out
That's how it's meant to be

It rolls like a train that's comin' on down the track

She rolled over Beethoven and she gave Tchaikovsky back
She loves that drivin' beat, she goes dancin' on down the street
She said rock 'n' roll is king

Repeat Chorus:

When she comes around and I'm listenin' to the radio

She says you can't do that 'cause all I wanna do is rock 'n' roll
Now here I'm gonna stay where that music starts to play
She says rock 'n' roll is king

If you could get with it just a little more, it don't take much tryin',
You'll find out if you've got some rock & roll soul, baby.

Ain't everybody in the world. So when you know what you got, let everybody know,
You got some rock & roll soul.
So when you know what you got, let everybody know,
You got some rock & roll soul.

I know it when I'm feelin' groovy,

It's kind of funky like an old-time movie.
I can feel it and it's really something,
It's really something when my heart starts pumpin', yeah.

Tell everybody you know, you got some rock 'n roll soul.
Tell everybody you know, you got some rock 'n roll soul.

Tell everybody you know, you got some rock 'n roll soul.

Rock And A Hard Place

The Rolling Stones
By Jagger/Richards

The fields of Eden

Are full of trash
And if we beg and we borrow and steal
We'll never get it back
People are hungry
They crowd around
And the city gets bigger as the country comes begging to town

Stuck between a rock

And a hard place
Between a rock and a hard place

This talk of freedom

And human rights
Meaans bullying and private wars and chucking all the dust into our eyes
And peasant people
Poorer than dirt
Who are caught in the crossfire with nothing to lose but their shirts

Stuck between a rock

And a hard place
Between a rock and a hard place
You'd better stop put on a kind face
Between a rock and a hard place

We're in the same boat

On the same sea
And we're sailing south
On the same breeze
Guiding dream churches
With silver spires
And our rogue children
Are playing loaded dice

Between a rock and a hard place

You'd better stop

Give me truth now

Don't want no sham
I'd be hung drawn and quartered for a sheep just as well as a lamb

Stuck between a rock

And a hard place
Between a rock and a hard place
You'd better stop put on a kind face
Can't you see what you've done to me

ROCK AND ROLL DREAMS COME THROUGH

Meat Loaf

You can't run away forever,

But there's nothing wrong with getting a good head start
You want to shut out the night
You want to shut down the sun
You want to shut away the pieces of a broken heart

Think of how we'd lay down together

We'd be listening to the radio so loud and so strong
Every golden nugget coming like a gift of the gods
Someone must have blessed us when he gave us those songs

I treasure your love

I never want to lose it
You've been through the fires of hell
And I know you've got the ashes to prove it
I treasure your love
I want to show you how to use it
You've been through a lot of pain in the dirt
And I know you've got the scars to prove it

Remember everything that I told you

And I'm telling you again that it's true
When you're alone and afraid
And you're completely amazed
To find there's nothing anybody can do
Keep on believing
And you'll discover baby

There's always something magic

There's always something new
And when you really really need it the most
That's when rock and roll dreams come through
The beat is yours forever
The beat is always true
And when you really need it the most
That's when rock and roll dreams come through....for you...

Once upon a time was a backbeat

Once upon a time all the chords came to life
And the angels had guitars even before they had wings
If you hold onto a chorus you can get through the night

I treasure your love

I never want to lose it
You've been through the fires of hell
And I know you've got the ashes to prove it
I treasure you love
I want to show you how to use it
You've been through a lot of pain in the dirt
And I know you've got the scars to prove it

Remember everything that I told you

And I'm telling you again that it's true
You're never alone cause you can put on the phones
And let the drummer tell your heart what to do
Keep on believing
And you'll discover baby

Rock And Roll Girls

John Fogerty

Sometimes I think
Life is just a rodeo
The trick is to ride
And make it to the bell

But there is a place

Sweet as you will ever know
In music and love
And things you never tell

You see it in their face

Secrets on the telephone
A time out of time
For you and no one else

Hey let's go
All over the world
Rock and roll girls
Rock and roll girls

If I had my way
I'd shuffle off to Buffalo
Sit by the lake
And watch the world go by

Ladies in the sun

Listenin' to the radio
Like flowers on the sand
A rainbow in my mind

Hey let's go
All over the world
Rock and roll girls

If there's a rock and roll heaven,
Well you know they've got a hell of a band, band, band.
Jimmy <Hendrix> gave us rainbows,
And Janis <Joplin> took a piece of our hearts,
And Otis <Redding> brought us all to the dock of a bay.
Sing a song to light my fire,
Remember Jim <Morrison> that way,
They've all found another place, another place to play.
Chorus
Remember bad bad Leroy Brown,
Hey Jimmy <Croce> touched us with that song.
Time won't change a friend we came to know.
And Bobby <Darin> gave us Mack the Knife,
Well look out, he's back in town.
They'll all be there together
When they meet in one big show.

No matter who you are

Everyone's a star

If you don't like rock 'n roll,
think what you've been missin'
But if you like to bop and strawl,

Ah, oh baby, ah, oh baby, ah, oh baby,

Gonna sign it, gonna seal it, gonna mail it away
Gonna mail it today

But there ain't much romance livin in the U.S.A.
This guitar is a blessing, This piano is a muse
And electricity's a devil with a twenty amp fuse

This is my rock and roll love letter to you

This is my rock and roll love letter to you
Gonna sign it, gonna seal it, gonna mail it away
Gonna mail it to, gonna mail it today

Dear mama, papa hey your boy is doin fine

And this energy, you gave him
Keeps on tryin to unwind
'Cause I see an ancient rhythm
In a man's genetic code
Gonna keep on rock and rollin
Fill my genes explode

This is my rock and roll love letter to you
Gonna rock it, gonna seel it, gonna slake it away

Rock and Roll Waltz

-Artist: Kay Starr

-the # 16 song of the 1955-1959 rock era
-was # 1 for 6 weeks in 1956
-Words by Roy Alfred and Music by Shorty Allen

One night I was late, came home from a date

Slipped out of my shoes at the door
Then from the front room, I heard a jump tune
I looked in and here's what I saw

There in the night what a wonderful scene

Mom was dancing with Dad to my record machine
And while they danced, only one thing was wrong
They were trying to waltz to a rock and roll song!

a-one, two, and then rock

a-one, two, and then roll
They did the rock and roll waltz
a-rock, two, three, a-roll, two, three
It looked so cute to me
I love the rock and roll waltz

a-one, two, and then rock

a-one, two, and then roll
a-one, two, and then jump
It's good for your soul
It's old but it's new
Let's do the rock and roll waltz

There in the night what a wonderful scene

Mom was dancing with Dad to my record machine
And while they danced, only one thing was wrong
They were trying to waltz to a rock and roll song!

a-one, two, and then rock

a-one, two, and then roll
a-one, two, and then jump
It's good for your soul

(We're Gonna) Rock Around The Clock

Bill Haley & His Comets
Words and Music by Max Freedman and Jimmy DeKnight

-The # 7 song of the 1955-1959 rock era

-Was # 1 for 8 weeks in 1955.
-It was reissued in 1968 but only managed to "Bubble Under" at # 118.
-A second reissue in 1974 did go as high as # 39.
-introduced in the 1955 film "The Blackboard Jungle" starring Glenn Ford as the
teacher and Vic Morrow and Sidney Poitier as students. Twelve years later, Poitier

One, two, three o'clock, four o'clock rock

Five, six, seven o'clock, eight o'clock rock
Nine, ten, eleven o'clock, twelve o'clock rock
We're gonna rock around the clock tonight

Put your glad rags on, join me, Hon

We'll have some fun when the clock strikes one
We're gonna rock around the clock tonight
We're gonna rock, rock, rock, 'til broad daylight
Gonna rock, gonna rock around the clock tonight

When the clock strikes two, three and four

If the band slows down we'll yell for more
We're gonna rock around the clock tonight
We're gonna rock, rock, rock, 'til broad daylight
Gonna rock, gonna rock around the clock tonight

<instrumental interlude>

When the chimes ring five, six, and seven

We'll be right in seventh heaven
We're gonna rock around the clock tonight
We're gonna rock, rock, rock, 'til broad daylight
Gonna rock, gonna rock around the clock tonight

When it's eight, nine, ten, eleven too

I'll be goin' strong and so will you
We're gonna rock around the clock tonight
We're gonna rock, rock, rock, 'til broad daylight
Gonna rock, gonna rock around the clock tonight

<instrumental interlude>

When the clock strikes twelve, we'll cool off then

Start a'rockin' round the clock again
We're gonna rock around the clock tonight
We're gonna rock, rock, rock, 'til broad daylight
Gonna rock, gonna rock around the clock tonight

ROCK IN A HARD PLACE (CHESHIRE CAT)

Aerosmith

It was a take it or leave it kinda Saturday night

I wish I could love you till the cows come home, make it right
If it's a make believe I say it ain't, tell ya then
Cause if it's a dream I'm in please wake me up and start again

Ooo, close your eyes and what do you see

Ooo, look over how you could do with your only belief

She was a real tight manner

Lies in over navver
Hard core biloozy
Late nine t'fiver
Her second hand clothes
Smiling like a cheshire cat

Said it was in and out and up and down the urchin moon
Baby a certain situation on a sea I'm who
Wasn't a ring around the roses pull a daisy chain
Not with your head could tell me you ain't from there and back again

Ooh close your eyes and what do you see

Ooh another but how what they dud with your only believe in me

She was a real tight manner

Lies in off a laugher
Hard core floozy
Late nine to fiver
Her second hand clothes
Smilin' like a Cheshire Cat

Give a good one, I want to be or not to be tonight

Why should I hold her down in bed when you should ride me right?
Why should you give it all you got, now mid's a make amends
Boy you'll never mind your marker and drive the bends

Ooh close your eyes and what do you see

Ooh another but look what they do with your only believe in me

She was a real tight manner

Lies in off a laugher
Hard core biloozy
Late nine to fiver
Her second hand clothes
Smilin' like a Cheshire Cat

A real time manner

Lies in off a laugher
Hard core floozy
Late nine driver
Smilin' like a Cheshire Cat

ROCK ISLAND LINE

Lonnie Donegan Skiffle Group

(THE CHORUS IS THE ONLY PART SUNG. THE REST

IS SPOKEN)

Now this here's the story about the Rock Island Line
The Rock Island Line she runs down into New Orleasn
And just outside of New Orleans is a big toll gate
And all the trains that go through the toll gate
They gotta pay the man some money
But of course, if you got certain things on board
You're okay and you don't have to pay the man nothin
And just now we see a change comin down the line
When you come up to the toll gate
The driver, he shout down to the man
I got pigs, I got horses, I got cows
I got sheep, I got all livestock, I got all livestock
I got all livestock
The man say, you alright boy just
Get on through, you don't have to pay me nothin
And then the train go through
And when he go through the tollgate
The train gotta have a little bit of steam
And a little bit of speed
And when the driver think he safely on the other side
He shouts back down the line to the man
I fooled you, I fooled you
I got pig iron, I got pig iron
I got all pig iron,
Now I'll tell you where I'm goin boy

CHORUS:

Down the rock island line is a might good road

Oh the rock island line is the road to ride
The rock island line is a mighty good road
Well if you want to ride you gotta ride it like you find it
Get your ticket at the station of the rock island line
Well I may be right, I may be wrong
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone

CHORUS

Hey you are safe within

The good Lord's comin to see me again

CHORUS

ABC WXYZ
The cats on the cover but he don't see me

ROCK ME
Steppenwolf

She asked me maybe

I would share her sorrow
About the men that tried to treat her wrong

Though just a baby

A waiting her tomorrow
It's rock me baby, rock me baby
All night long

She needs an answer to her confusion

someone to guide her with tenderness
But if she's asking for a solution
All that she gets
You know it's something like this

Don't know where we come from

Don't know where we're going to
But if all of this should have a reason
We would be the last to know

So let's just hope there is a promised land

Hang on till then as best you can
Everybody's ills you know it

Fills her with compassion

That's why she tries
To save the world alone

She helps the needy in her own fashion

And tries to give them all her own
Rock me baby, rock me baby
All night long

ROCK ME AMADEUS
Falco
- words and music by R. Bolland and F. Bolland

He was the first punk ever to set foot on this earth.

He was a genius from the day of his birth.
He could play the piano like a ring and a bell
And ev'rybody screamed:
Come on, rock me Amadeus.
He was a superstar, he was dynamite and whatever he did (it)
Seemed to be alright.
And he drank (and) he cursed and he fooled around
But when the women would shout:
Rock me Amadeus,
Amadeus, Amadeus, Amadeus,
Amadeus, Amadeus, Amadeus,
Oh oh oh Amadeus.
With a bottle of wine in one hand and a woman in the other
'Cause he was a ladies man
He never stopped to worry what the next day would bring
Because the girls would sing:
Rock me Amadeus,
etc...
His mind was on rock and roll and having fun
Because he lived so fast he had to die so young.
But he made his mark in history.
Still ev'rybody says:
Rock me Amadeus

That you are with me
Here tonight

Our bodies swayin' in time

Touching you
So warm and tender
Lord, I feel such a sweet surrender
Beautiful is the dream that makes you mine

Mmm

Rock me slowly
Take it easy
Don't you know
That I have never been loved like this before

Baby baby!

Rock me gently
Rock me slowly
Take it easy
Don't you know
That I have never been loved like this before

Oh my darlin'
Oh my baby
You got the moves that drive me crazy
And on your face I see a trace of love
(Of love, of love, of love)
Come hold me close
Don't let me go
I need you, honey
I love you so
You were made for me by the stars above

Oooh
Rock me gently
Rock me slowly
Take it easy
Don't you know
That I have never been loved like this before

And baby baby!

Rock me gently
Rock me slowly

Rock Me Tonite
Billy Squier

I'm rockin' tonite - I'm walkin' on air

Gonna find me some trouble - gonna grab my share
I want ya tonite - I want ya with me
Make me guilty of love in the first degree

You want it all right... we're goin' in style

Say you walk right - you talk right - and your hair's so wild
Snow-white - hey that's not what I mean
We go down in the shadows and crawl between

Moonlight in the city brings the magic to your eyes

Freezin' a moment - leave me paralyzed
Breathe an emotion - set it dancin' in my ear
Bring on the rhythm when I hold you near

Take me in your arms - roll me through the night

Take me to your heart - rock me tonite

You do it all right - you're passion to see

You been schooled in the art of romancin' me
Hold tight - you're in for a ride
Can you feel the blood poundin' way down inside

No one's stoppin' us now -

We go down, down where the music's loud
If it's all night - hey that's all right by me
Go and play on my love - play it all for me

Life's never easy - we can make it if we try

Takin' our chances - face 'em side by side
Live for the moment - on that we can agree
Come and take me where I long to be

Chorus

A time for all... and all in time

To slip beyond the border line
Of who we are and where we long to be...
When every night you hear the sound
Of wakin' up and breakin' down
You find a chance and heave it all away

"Rock of Life"
1988

Well I pick up my guitar

(To look)
I look in the mirror
It's like a stranger in my hand
(Baby is cryin')
There comes a time when a boy must leave
(Get up)
And the man has to enter
For the soul to understand
(All of the changes)

As if it ain't hard enough

This life I'm livin' in
I was caught with my guard down
When the world came knockin'

I feel a big beat

The rock of life
Big beat talk to me
Hey
Whooh
I feel a back beat
The rock of life
Wakin' up blind with the house on fire

Is it somethin' in my head
(Look up)
Or the time or the season
Or the little boy in my head
(Must be a reason)
There's new meaning in my life
(Shake up)
But there's pain and confusion
And I'm tryin' to understand
(All of the changes)

I've been cut so deep but

I can't make it bleed
I was caught with my head in the sand
When the world came knockin'

I feel a big beat

The rock of life
Big beat talk to me
Hey
Whooh
I feel a back beat
The rock of life
Wakin' up blind with the house on fire

It ain't no perfect life

While you're movin' rock steady

and your arms have held me safe from a rolling sea
there's always been a quiet place to harbor you and me

Our love is like a ship on the ocean

we've been sailing with a cargo full of, love and devotion

So I'd like to know where, you got the notion

and I've always had your tender lips to keep me warm
oh I need to have the strength that flows from you
don't let me drift away my dear, when love can see me through

Now the king told the boogie men

You have to let that raga drop
The oil down the desert way
Has been shakin' to the top
The shiek he drove his Cadillac
He went a' cruisnin' down the ville
The muezzin was a' standing
On the radiator grille

CHORUS
The shareef don't like it
Rockin' the Casbah
Rock the Casbah
The shareef don't like it
Rockin' the Casbah
Rock the Casbah

By order of the prophet

We ban that boogie sound
Degenerate the faithful
With that craazy Casbah sound
But the Bedouin they brought out
The electric camel drum
The local guitar picker
Got his guitar picking thumb
As soon as the shareef
Had cleared the square
They began to wail

CHORUS

Now over at the temple

Oh! They really pack 'em in
The in crowd say it's cool
To dig this chanting thing
But as the wind changed direction
The temple band took five
The crowd caught a wiff
Of that crazy Casbah jive

CHORUS

The king called up his jet fighters

He said you better eaarn your pay
Drop your bombs between the minarets
Down the Casbah way

As soon as the shareef was

Chauffeured outta there
The jet pilots tuned to
The cockpit radio blare

As soon as the shareef was

Outta their hair
The jet pilots wailed

ROCK THE NIGHT

Europe

I've gone through changes

I've gone through pain
But there's not enough reason for me to go insane
I know the feeling
Just when it grows
I'm in a rage up from my head down to my toes

You know it ain't easy running out of thrills

You know it ain't easy when you don't know what you want
What do you want
Wohooo
You want to

Rock now rock the night

'Till early in the morning light
Rock now rock the night
Oh oh
Rock now rock the night
You better believe it's right

Rock now rock the night

Oh oh ohh

I know my limit
Sometimes it's easy
Just what it takes
Sometimes so tough

When things ain't good enough

But just have one thing clear
I just pull the brake
I can't get enough

ROCK THIS TOWN

The Stray Cats

Well, My baby and me went out late Saturday night

I had my hair piled high and my baby just looked so right
Well, pick you up at ten, gotta have you home at two
Mama don't know what I catched off of you
But that's all right cause we're looking as cool as can be

Well, we found a little place that really didn't look half bad
I had a whisky on the rocks
And change of a dollar for the jukebox
Well, I put the cold rock into that can
But all they played was disco, man
Come on, baby, baby, let's get out of here right away

CHORUS:

We're gonna rock this town

Rock it inside out
We're gonna rock this town
Make'em scream and shout
Let's rock, rock, rock, man, rock
We're gonna rock till you pop
We're gonna rock till you drop
We're gonna rock this town
Rock it inside out

Well, we're having a ball just 'a bopping on the big dance floor
Well, there's a real square cat, he looks a 1974
Well, he looked at me once, he looked at me twice
Look at me again and there's gonna be fight
We're gonna rock this town
We're gonna rip this place apart

CHORUS

Rock this place apart

CHORUS

Rock this place apart

We're gonna rock this town
Rock it inside out
We're gonna rock this town

Rock with You

Girl, close your eyes

Let that rhythm get into you
Don't try to fight it
There ain't nothing that you can
Relax your mind
Lay back and groove with mine
You gotta feel that heat
And we can ride the boogie
Share that beat of love

I wanna rock with you (all night)

Dance you into day (sunlight)
I wanna rock with you (all night)
Rock the night away

Out on the floor

There ain't nobody there but us
Girl when you dance
There's a magic that must be love
Just take it slow
Cause we got so far to go
You gotta feel that heat
And we can ride the boogie
Share that beat of love

I wanna rock with you (all night)

Dance you into day (sunlight)
I wanna rock with you (all night)
Rock the night away

And when the groove is dead and gone (yeah)

You know that love survives
So we can rock forever, on

I wanna rock with you

I wanna groove with you
I wanna rock with you
I wanna groove with you

I wanna rock (all night) with you girl (sunlight)

Rock with you, rock with you girl (yeah) (all night)
Dance the night away

I wanna rock with you (yeah) (all night)

Rock you into day (sunlight)

Feel the heat feel the heat

Rock you into day (sunlight)

ROCK YOU LIKE A HURRICANE

Scorpions

It's early morning

The sun comes out
Last night was shaking
And pretty loud
My cat is purring
And scratches my skin
So what is wrong
With another sin
The bitch is hungry
She needs to tell
So give her inches
And feed her well
More days to come
New places to go
I've got to leave
It's time for a show

Here I am
Rock you like a hurricane
Here I am
Rock you like a hurricane

My body is burning
It starts to shout
Desire is coming
It breaks out loud
Lust is in cages
Till storm breaks loose
Just have to make it
With someone I choose
The night is calling
I have to go
The wolf is hungry
He runs to show
He's lickin' his lips
He's ready to win
On the hunt tonight
For love at first sting

Here I am
Rock you like a hurricane
Here I am
Rock you like a hurricane
Here I am
Rock you like a hurricane
Here I am
Rock you like a hurricane

It's early morning

The sun comes out
Last night was shaking
And pretty loud
My cat is purring
And scratches my skin
So what is wrong

Rock-A-Billy
Guy Mitchell
Written by Woody Harris and Eddie V. Deane

Peaked at # 10 in 1957
This song title was the first hit to give a name to the unique combination of rock &
country "hillbilly" music, as represented by dozens of hits pioneered by Sam Phillips'
Memphis-based Sun Records label in the mid-1950s.

CHORUS:
Rock-a-billy, rock-a-billy, rock-a-billy, rock
Rock-a-billy, rock-a-billy, rock, rock, rock
Rock-a-billy, rock-a-billy, rock-a-billy, rock
Rock-a-billy, rock-a-billy, rock, rock

Some people think it came from Tennessee

Then spread on out to the lone prairie
It's the hillbilly rock, feeddlee dee
Turns me inside out
Gimme some
CHORUS

Hey, grab yourself a partner, lose the blues

Wear your store-bought clothes and your stompin' shoes
Better head for the hills, gonna blow my fuse
Hooo, I'm gonna shout
Gimme some
CHORUS

Since rock-a-billy swang the do-si-do

And the gee-tar man chased the old banjo
Leave the hoe for the crow, holler "Go, oh man, go"
Wiggle like a trout
Gimme some

Rock-a-billy, rock-a-billy, rock-a-billy, rock

Rock-a-billy, rock-a-billy, rock, rock, rock
Rock-a-billy, rock-a-billy, rock-a-billy, rock
Rock-a-billy, rock-a-billy, hoo!, rock, rock

From the moment I feel this crazy beat

Ya gotta lose control or you're two left feet
Give me mountain juice, turn me loose
Leave me wave my arms about
Gimme some
CHORUS

BRIDGE
Ya know what rock-a-billy's all about
Ya know it's gonna make ya sing and shout
Ya know you're gonna act like a crazy fool
Who cares? It's cool

Rock-a-billy, rock-a-billy, rock, rock

ROCK-A-BYE YOUR BABY (WITH A DIXIE MELODY)

Jerry Lewis

Rock-a-bye your baby with a Dixie melody.

When you croon, croon a tune from the heart of Dixie.
Just place my cradle, mammy mine,
Right on the Mason Dixon line,
And swing it from Virginia
To Tennessee with all the love that's in ya.

Weep no more, my lady.

Sing that song again for me.
Soft and low, just as though
You had me on your knee.

A million baby kisses I'd deliver,

If you would only sing that Swanee River.
Rock-a-bye your rock-a-bye baby with a Dixie melody.

Rock-a-hula Baby
Elvis Presley
(words & music by Fred Wise - Ben Weisman - Dolores Fuller)

The way she moves her hips to her fingertips

I feel I'm heaven bound
And when she starts to sway, I've gotta say
She really move the grass around
Rock-a-hula baby
Rock-a-hula baby
Got a hula lulu from Honolulu
That rock-a-hula baby of mine
Although I love to kiss my little hula miss
I never get the chance
I wanna hold her tight all through the night
But all she wants to do is dance
I bet that she could teach the palms along the beach
To sway when breezes blow
And birds up in the sky could learn to fly
By watchin' how my baby can go

Every little bird in the tall oak tree,
The wise old owl, the big black crow,
Flappin' their wings singin' go bird, go.

CHORUS:.

The pretty little raven at the bird man stand

Taught him how to do the bop and it was grand,
He started goin' steady and "bless my soul,"
He out-bopped the buzzard and the oriole.

He rocks in the treetops all day long,

Hoppin' and a-boppin' and a-singin' his song.

Love to hear the robin go tweet, tweet, tweet.

Baby, baby, when I called you on the phone today

You sounded frantic when you said "Come over, right away"
Oh, baby, baby, won't you say what's on your mind?

Your TV set is acting up and you don't understand

You're so upset because you can't watch "All My Children" and
You wonder if there's something I can do for you

Well all that I can say...

Baby, I can rocket 2 u

Honey, the only thing I can do
Baby, I can rocket all night (rock the night away)
One thing I know I can do (I can rocket 2 u!)

Don't call me when your car just can't get into second gear
Or when your kitchen sink is shooting water in your ear
Oh, baby, baby, I have told you this before

Is there a special reason that you just can't understand

I'm not the one to call when you need a heavy man
Unless whatever needs fixing, girl, is you

And I just have to say...

Baby, I can rocket 2 u (I can rocket 2 u)

Honey, the only thing I can do
Baby, I can rocket all night (rock the night away)
One thing I know I can do (I can rocket 2 u!)

Don't call me when your toaster won't pop up

Don't call me just to cut your lawn
Don't call me when your radio cuts off
In the middle of your favorite song
Don't call me when your shower just went <bubbly sound>
Uh-uh, no, baby, don't call me
I think I told you this about a million times
You know, it's not my cup of tea

I can rocket 2 u
The only thing I can do
I can rocket all night

I can rocket 2 u, baby

Let me rocket 2 ya, oh yeah
Just a little bit more

Baby, I can rocket 2 u (I can rocket 2 u)

Honey, the only thing I can do
Baby, I can rocket all night (it's all that I can say)
One thing I know I can do (that's all that I can do)

Baby, I can rocket 2 u (I can rocket)

Honey, the only thing I can do (it's all that I can do)
Baby, I can rocket all night
One thing I know I can do (baby, I can rocket 2 u)

Elton John
(Elton John/Bernie Taupin)

She packed my bags last night

Pre-flight,
Zero hour, nine a.m.
And I'm gonna be high as a kite by then.

I miss the earth so much,

I miss my wife.
It's lonely out in space
On such a timeless flight.

And I think it's gonna be a long, long time

Till touch down brings me round again to find
I'm not the man they think I am at home.
Oh, no, no, no,
I'm a rocket man,
Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone.

Mars ain't the kind of place to raise your kids,

In fact it's cold as hell
And there's no one there to raise them if you did.

And all this science,

I don't understand.
It's just my job, five days a week,
A Rocket man.

Rockin' Down The Highway

The Doobie Brothers

Got those highway blues can't you hear the motor running
Driving down the road with my foot on the floor
All the way in town they can hear me coming
Fours about the top she will do no more
And I smell my motor burning,
Underneath the hood of smoke

Can't stop, and I can't stop

Gotta keep moving or I'll lose my mind
Oh, rockin' down the highway
Oh, rockin' down the highway
Oh, rockin' down the highway
Oh, rockin' down the highway

The highway patrol's got his eyes on me

Know what he's thinking and it ain't good
Moving so fast he can barely see me
Gonna lose that man I know I should
I got to kick in the pedal,
Make the car move a little bit faster

Can't stop, and I can't stop

Gotta keep moving or I'll lose my mind
Oh, rockin' down the highway
Oh, rockin' down the highway
Oh, rockin' down the highway
Oh, rockin' down the highway

(break)

Oh, rockin' down the highway

Oh, rockin' down the highway
Oh, rockin' down the highway
Oh, rockin' down the highway

Rockin' Roll Baby

The Stylistics
Written by Thom Bell and Linda Creed

Peaked at # 14 in 1973

Tootsie roll soul and doodle-white shoes

Papa's sure proud of his little bitty rockin' roll baby
Singin' at the age of two
He can hardly talk but he sure knows how to sing the blues

Little Joe never sings out of tune

Always in key, he's a soulful little rockin' roll baby
Papa loves the way you do
Never heard a boy sing the way my little Joey do

He was born in a theater in Bluefield, West Virginia

His ma and I were travelin' on the road
I worked hard all that summer as a fill-in for the drummer
One-night stands weren't easy for little Joe

<brief instrumental break>

Bought a new house in Beverly Hills

Papa made it big and he did it for his rockin' roll baby
A little bit of rhythm and blues
Got a funky walk in his little orthopedic shoes

He was born in a theater in Bluefield, West Virginia

His ma and I were travelin' on the road
I worked hard all that summer as a fill-in for the drummer
One-night stands weren't easy for little Joe

Rocking Alone (In An Old Rocking Chair)

The Everly Brothers
Words and Music by Bob Miller

Sitting alone in an old rocking chair

I saw an old mother with silvery hair
She seemed so neglected by those who should care
Rocking alone in an old rocking chair

Her hands were all callused and wrinkled and old

A life of hard work was the story they told
And I thought of angels as I saw her there
Rocking alone in an old rocking chair

Bless her old heart, do you think shed complain

Though life has been bitter shed live it again
And carry that cross that is more than her share
Rocking alone in an old rocking chair

It wouldnt take much just to gladden her heart

Just some small remembrance on somebodys part
A letter would brighten her empty life there
Rocking alone in an old rocking chair

I know some youngsters in an orphans home

Whod think they owned heaven if she was their own
Theyd never be willing to let her sit there
Rocking alone in an old rocking chair

I look at her and I think What a shame

The ones who forgot her she loves just the same
And I think of angels as I see her there
Rocking alone in an old rocking chair

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...<fade>

Rocky Mountain High

John Denver
Words by John Denver; Music by John Denver and Mike Taylor

He was born in the summer of his 27th year

Comin' home to a place he'd never been before
He left yesterday behind him, you might say he was born again
You might say he found a key for every door

When he first came to the mountains his life was far away
On the road and hangin' by a song
But the string's already broken and he doesn't really care
It keeps changin' fast and it don't last for long

But the Colorado rocky mountain high

I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky
The shadow from the starlight is softer than a lullabye
Rocky mountain high

He climbed cathedral mountains, he saw silver clouds below

He saw everything as far as you can see
And they say that he got crazy once and he tried to touch the sun
And he lost a friend but kept his memory

Now he walks in quiet solitude the forest and the streams

Seeking grace in every step he takes
His sight has turned inside himself to try and understand
The serenity of a clear blue mountain lake

And the Colorado rocky mountain high

I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky
You can talk to God and listen to the casual reply
Rocky mountain high

Now his life is full of wonder but his heart still knows some fear
Of a simple thing he cannot comprehend
Why they try to tear the mountains down to bring in a couple more
More people, more scars upon the land

And the Colorado rocky mountain high

I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky
I know he'd be a poorer man if he never saw an eagle fly
Rocky mountain high

It's Colorado rocky mountain high

I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky
Friends around the campfire and everybody's high
Rocky mountain high

Rocky Mountain Way

Joe Walsh

Spent the last year

Rocky Mountain Way
Couldn't get much higher
Out to pasture
Think it's safe to say
Time to open fire

And we don't need the ladies

Crying 'cuz the storie's sad
'Cuz the Rocky Mountain Way
Is better than the way we had

Well he's tellin' us this

And he's tellin' us that
Changes it every day
Say's it doesn't matter
Bases are loaded and Casey's at bat
Playin' it play by play
Time to change the batter

And we don't need the ladies

Crying 'cuz the storie's sad, uh huh
Rocky Moutain Way
Is better than the way we had

Rod Of Iron
Lizzy Borden

Time is not yours

Soon you will find
Back from behind
He's close behind your every move

I'm not afraid

Following the blind
Leading us to hell
Staying for all time
It's on my head

Savior
Yours is dead
Yours is dead
Yours is dead

The beginning of the end

The destruction of the sin
The darkness shades to light

Screaming out the cries

Of the fire burning inside
The king of kings
Shall rule, with the rod of iron
With the rod of iron

Forever he will burn

Into the lake of fire
Taking with him sorcerers
And liars

False profit
And the beast will die
Together forever, and ever, and ever

The king of kings shall rule

With the rod of iron
With the rod of iron

Never have the power to be free

Never show your mark for us to see
Never again be fooled by your disguise

Screaming out the cries

Of the fire burning inside
The king of kings shall rule with the rod of iron
With the rod of iron

Never have the power to be free

Never hear your hypnotizing lies

Baby the raindrops play for me

A lonely rhapsody 'cause on our first date
We were makin' out in the rain

And in this car our love went much too far

It was exciting as thunder
Tonight I wonder where you are

The windshield wipers seemed to say
"Together - together - together - together"
And now they are saying
"Oh, ne...ver, ne...ver"
Ooh-wee, ooh-wee, baby

Chorus:
Rhapsody in the rain

Angels keep cryin' for me (don't... stop)
Angels keep cryin' for me (don't... stop)

Baby, I'm parked outside your door

Remember makin' love, makin' love, we were makin' love in the storm

And then a flash from above
Lightning - lightning - lightning - lightning
Just li-ike our love

A woman - taken by the wind
Wwould you stay if she promised you heaven?

She rules her life like a fine skylark
And when the sky is starless

Rhinestone Cowboy
Glen Campbell
Words and Music by Larry Weiss

- peak Billboard position # 1 in 1975

I've been walkin' these streets so long

Singin' the same old song
I know every crack in these dirty sidewalks of Broadway
Where hustle's the name of the game
And nice guys get washed away like the snow and the rain
There's been a load of compromisin'
On the road to my horizon
But I'm gonna be where the lights are shinin' on me

Like a rhinestone cowboy

Riding out on a horse in a star-spangled rodeo
Like a rhinestone cowboy
Getting cards and letters from people I don't even know
And offers comin' over the phone

Well, I really don't mind the rain

And a smile can hide all the pain
But you're down when you're ridin' the train that's takin' the long way
And I dream of the things I'll do
With a subway token and a dollar tucked inside my shoe
There'll be a load of compromisin'
On the road to my horizon
But I'm gonna be where the lights are shinin' on me

Like a rhinestone cowboy

Riding out on a horse in a star-spangled rodeo

Rhythym is a dancer,
it's a soul's companion,
you can feel it everywhere

Lift your hands and voices

free your mind and join us
you can feel it in the air

Ooh, it's a passion

Ooh, you can feel it in the air
Ooh, it's a passion
Ooh, ooh, ooh, oh

back to top of chorus

A far away light in the futuristic place we might be,

It's a tiny world just big enough to support the kingdom of one
knowledgeable,
throw away the loneliness and head back down,
I'm going too fast, I'm going too fast

back to top of chorus

I plunge right on through the office door,

and into the arms of the bottomless negro of love,
suddenly I can't remember,
how to stop, or turn around,

Do I have to get behind myself,

Do I have to turn around before I can point,
I flip 'til I can breathe

No way, you can fight it every day

But no matter what you say
You know it

No clue, of what's happening to you

And before this night is through
Ooh baby

The rhythm is gonna get you tonight

RHYTHM OF LOVE
YES

Innocence no answer
To your breaking heart
If the situation
Sometimes falls apart
Then in this ecstasy
Your charms are frozen
No emotion falling through your arms
Morning, daydream, time still growing shorter
Take me over lead me to the water
To the rhythm of love
The rhythm of love
The rhythm of love
Why should I escort you
To your secret needs
Climbing up your ladder
I keep falling down
Anyway will do
Anyone will do
When you dance to your darkest tune
Surrounded
As you crawl around the room
Night time fever burning till you're higher
Take me over lead me through the fire
The rhythm of love
To the rhythm of love
The rhythm of love
To the rhythm of love
Morning daydream midnight fever
Morning daydream midnight fever
Inhibitions keep you from your point of view
Information needing to confuse
In this situation I have found you
In the rhythm of
Morning daydream midnight fever
Morning daydream midnight fever
Rhythm of love
Rhythm of love
To the rhythm of love
Rhythm of love

Rhythm Of My Heart
Rod Stewart

Across the street the river runs.

Down in the guter life is slipping away.
Let me still exist in another place,
Running down under cover
Of a helicopter blade.

The flames are getting higher

In effigy.
Burning down the bridges of my memory.
Love may still alive
somewhere someday
where they're downing only deer
a hundred steel towns away.

Oh, rhythm of my heart

is beating like a drum
with the words "I Love you"
rolling off my tongue.
No never will I roam,
for I know my place is home.
Where the ocean meets the sky,
I'll be sailing.

Photographs and kerosene

light up my darkness,
light it up,
light it up.
I can still feel the touch
of your thin blue jeans.
Running down the alley,
I've got my eyes all over you, baby.
Oh, baby.

Oh, the rhythm of my heart

is beating like a drum
with the words "I Love you"
rolling off my tongue.
No never will I roam,
for I know my place is home.
Where the ocean meets the sky,
I'll be sailing.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, I've got lightning in my veins,

shifting like the handle
of a slot machine.
Love may still exist
in another place.
I'm just yanking back the handle,
no expression on my face.

Oh, the rhythm of my heart

is beating like a drum
with the words "I Love you"
rolling off my tongue.
No never will I roam,
for I know my place is home.
Where the ocean meets the sky,

The Rhythm Of The Night

Corona

This is the rhythm of the night (2)

You could put some joy upon my face

Oh sunshine in an empty place
Take me to turn to and babe I'll make you stay

Oh I can ease you of your pain

Feel you give me love again
Round and round we go, each time I hear you say

1-This is the rhythm of the night

The night, oh yeah
The rhythm of the night

This is the rhythm of my life

My life, oh yeah
The rhythm of my life

Won't you teach me how to love and learn

There'll be nothing left for me to yearn
Think of me and burn and let me hold your hand

I don't wanna face the world in tears

Please think again I'm on my knees
Sing that song to me
No reason to repent

I know you wanna say it

(rpt 1, 1...)

RHYTHM OF THE NIGHT

DeBarge

When it feels like

the world is on your shoulders
and all of the madness
has got you goin crazy

It's time to get out

step out into the street
Where all of the action
is right there at your feet,
well..

I know a place where we can

dance the whole night away
underneath the electric stars
Just come with me and we can
shake your blues right away
You'll be doin fine once the music starts...Oh!

CHORUS:

To the beat of the rhythm of the night

dance until the morning light
Forget about the worries on your mind
we can leave them all behind
To the beat of the rhythm of the night..
oohh the rhythm of the night...ooohh yeah

Look out on the street now

the party's just beginning
The music's playing
a celebration's starting

Under the streetlights

the scene is being set
A night for romance
A night you won't forget, so

BRIDGE:

Come join the fun

this ain't no time to be staying home
mmm..there's too much going on...oh!
Tonight is gonna be a night like you've never known
We're gonna have a good time the whole night long...oh!

Rhythm Of The Rain

The Cascades

Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain,

Telling me just what a fool I've been.
I wish that it would go and let me cry in vain,
And let me be alone again.

Now the only girl I've ever loved has gone away.
Looking for a brand new start!
But little does she know that when she left that day.
Along with her she took my heart.

Rain, please tell me, now does that seem fair

For her to steal my heart away when she don't care
I can't love another, when my heart's somewhere far away.

Rain, won't you tell her that I love her so

Please ask the sun to set her heart aglow
Rain in her heart and let the love we know start to grow.

To social injustice

Strength in numbers we can get it right

You're a rich girl, and you've gone too far

'Cause you know it don't matter anyway
You can rely on the old man's money
You can rely on the old man's money
It's a bitch girl but it's gone too far
'Cause you know it don't matter anyway
Say money but it won't get you too far,
Get you too far

And don't you know, don't you know

That it's wrong to take what is given you
So far gone, on your own
You can get along if you try to be strong
But you'll never be strong
'Cause

You're a rich girl, and you've gone too far

'Cause you know it don't matter anyway
You can rely on the old man's money
You can rely on the old man's money
It's a bitch girl and it's gone too far
'Cause you know it don't matter anyway
Say money but it won't get you too far,
Get you too far

High and dry, out of the rain

It's so easy to hurt others when you can't feel pain
And don't you know that a love can't grow
'Cause there's too much to give, 'cause you'd rather live
For the thrill of it all, oh

You're a rich girl, and you've gone too far

'Cause you know it don't matter anyway
You can rely on the old man's money
You can rely on the old man's money
It's a bitch girl and it's gone too far
'Cause you know it don't matter anyway
Say money but it won't get you too far,
Say money but it won't get you too far,
Say money but it won't get you too far,
Get you too far

And you say

You can rely on the old man's money
You can rely on the old man's money
You're a rich girl, a rich girl
Oh, you're a rich rich girl yeah
Say money but it won't get you too far,

Rico Suave
Gerardo

Seguro que han odo que yo soy educado

Soy un caballerito un chico bien portado
Un joven responsible y siempre bien vestido
Yo no se quien ha mentido

I don't drink or smoke ain't into dope

Won't try no coke, ask me how I do it, I cope
My only addiction has to do with the female species
I eat 'em raw like sushi

No me gustan ternos, mi estilo es moderno

Si me enterno, you me enfermo
Mi apariencia es dura, vivo en la locura
No me vengan con ternuras

So please don't judge a book by its cover

There's more to being a latin lover
You got to know how to deal with a woman
That won't let go
The price you pay for being a gigolo

There's not a woman that can handle

A man like me
That's why I juggle two or three
I ain't one to commit, you can omit that bit
You pop the question that's it
Haber uno, dos, tres, cuatro mujeres
Y la situaci all no muere
No es un delito calmo mi apetito
Con un llanto o un grito

So again don't let my lyrics mislead you

I don't love you but I need you
Would you rather have me lie
Take a piece of your pie and say bye
Or be honest and rub your thighs

Well, it's ten o'clock and I'm two hours late

I never said I was a prompt date
But you kept persisting that I meet your parents
Huh, they're going to love my appearance

Ding dong el timbre suena

Tu madre abre, que vieja mas buena
Le digo Hola! Pero no para bola
Que se ha creido vieja chola

Go and serve the food mom

Que tengo ambre
If you don't hurry, me va a dar un calambre
Y usted seor? Why's your chin on the floor?
Sierra la boca por favor

What's this amor, these little huevos?

Esto s que yo no pruebo

I'm used to good ol' fashioned

Homestyle Spanish cooking
If i try that I'll be puking

Ricochet (Rick-O-Shay)
Teresa Brewer
Written by Larry Coleman, Joe Darion, and Norman Gimbel

Peaked at # 2 in 1953

They warned me when you kissed me your love would ricochet

Your lips would find another and your heart would go astray
I thought that I could hold you with all my many charms
But then one day you ricocheted to someone else's arms

CHORUS:
And baby
I don't want a ricochet romance, I don't want a ricochet love
If you're careless with your kisses, find another turtle dove
I can't live on ricochet romance, no, no not me
If you're gonna ricochet, baby, I'm gonna set you free

I knew the day I met you, you had a rovin' eye

I thought that I could hold you, what a fool I was to try
You promised you'd be faithful and you would never stray
Then like a rifle bullet, you began to ricochet

CHORUS:

<brief instrumental break>

When you announced our wedding, you made me mighty proud

I whispered "Two was company" but you preferred a crowd
You buzzed around the other girls just like a busy bee
And when you finished buzzin', cousin, you buzzed right back to me

CHORUS:

If you're gonna ricochet, baby, I'm gonna set you free

RIDE AWAY
Roy Orbison

Two wheels a turnin'

One girl a yearnin'
Big motor burnin' the road

I'll ride the highway

I'm going my way
I'll leave a story untold

Pretty girls behind me but pretty girls are everywhere

Big motor wind up, ride away from here

Ride away

She won't approve of things I do or what I am

And I don't really give a ...... I understand
But she'll never see that I'll never be
Any one but me

She thinks she needs me, she cries for me

But I know she's lying, crying for others to see
What can I say, I'll just ride away

Big motor run run (background) ride ride away

Ride on away from big motor run run
Heart-ache and misery

I'm bound to wander

Way over yonder
Someone be waitin' just for me

True love to cling to, I need a dream to share

Someone to know me, Someone to show me they care

Ride away, ride away

>From tears and sorrow
Like there's no tomorrow

Tonight I'll ride away

Ride Captain Ride

Blues Image
ALBUM: Open

Seventy-three men sailed up

From the San Francisco Bay,
Rolled off of their ship
And here's what they had to say.
"We're callin' everyone to ride along
To another shore,
We can laugh our lives away
and be free once more."
But no one heard them callin',
No one came at all,
'Cause they were too busy watchin'
Those old raindrops fall.
As a storm was blowin'
Out on the peaceful sea,
Seventy-three men sailed off
To history.
Ride, captain ride
Upon your mystery ship,
Be amazed at the friends
You have here on your trip.
Ride captain ride
Upon your mystery ship,
On your way to a world
That others might have missed.

It is the night
My body's weak
I'm on the run
No time for sleep
I've got to ride
Ride like the wind
To be free again

And I've got such a long way to go

To make it to the border of Mexico
So I'll ride like the wind
Ride like the wind

I was born the son of a lawless man

Always spoke my mind with a gun
in my hand
Lived nine lives
Gunned down ten
Gonna ride like the wind

Accused and tried and told to hang

I was nowhere in sight when the
churchbells rang
Never was the kind to do as I
was told
Gonna ride like the wind before I
get old

In Hawaii there's a place known as Waimea Bay

Where the best surfers in the world come to stay
And ride the wild surf they come to try
To conquer those waves some 30 feet high

REFRAIN
Ride ride ride the wild surf
Ride ride ride the wild surf
Ride ride ride the wild surf
Gotta take that one last ride

Surf fever brings them here to meet the test

And hanging round the beach you'll see the best
They're waxed up and ready just waiting for
The surf to build up on the northern shore

REFRAIN

Lined up and waiting for that next big set outside

Nothing can stop it cause you've just gotta ride ride ride ride ride
The heavies at the pipeline are OK
But they can't match the savage surf at Waimea Bay
It takes a lot of skill and courage unknown
To catch the last wave and ride it in alone
Ride ride ride the wild surf
Ride ride ride the wild surf
Ride ride ride the wild surf
Gotta take that one last
Gotta take that one last ride

(Ghost) Riders In the Sky

Vaughn Monroe

Peak Billboard position # 1 in 1949

Monroe may not have sung it precisely this way but a recording by him was not
available so the words and music herein are taken from the sheet music as written
by Stan Jones
Monroes' version, as well as competing versions by Peggy Lee (# 2), Bing Crosby
(#14), and Burl Ives (# 21) were all charted as just "Riders In the Sky"
Later, The Ramrods took it to # 30 in 1961 with the parenthetical (Ghost) added,
as did the Baja Marimba Band (#52 in 1966) and The Outlaws (#31 in 1981)
Lawrence Welk used the original title on his # 87 in 1961.

An old cowpoke went riding out one dark and windy day
Upon a ridge he rested as he went along his way
When all at once a mighty herd of red-eyed cows he saw
A'plowin' through the ragged skies and up a cloudy draw

Yi-pi-yi-ay, Yi-pi-yi-o
Ghost riders in the sky

Their brands were still on fire and their hooves were made of steel
Their horns wuz black and shiny and their hot breaths he could feel
A bolt of fear went through him as they thundered through the sky
For he saw the riders comin' hard and he heard their mournful cry

Yi-pi-yi-ay, Yi-pi-yi-o
Ghost riders in the sky

Their faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred, and shirts all soaked with sweat
They're ridin' hard to catch that herd but they ain't caught them yet
They've got to ride forever in that range up in the sky
On horses snortin' fire, as they ride on, hear their cry

Yi-pi-yi-ay, Yi-pi-yi-o
Ghost riders in the sky

As the riders loped on by him, he heard one call his name

"If you want to save your soul from hell a' ridin' on our range"
"Then cowboy change your ways today or with us you will ride"
"A-tryin' to catch the Devil's herd across these endless skies."

Yi-pi-yi-ay, Yi-pi-yi-o
Ghost riders in the sky

Eurythmics

Give me two strong arms

To protect myself
Give me so much love
That I forget myself
I need to swing from limb to limb
To relieve this mess I'm in
'Cause when depression starts to win
I need to be right by your side

No one seems to touch me

In the way you do
Nothing seems to hurt me
When I'm close to you
I'm so full of desire
When you set my head on fire
I need to be right by your side

Every single one of us needs

Love, love, love
Everybody needs to give and receive love
Every single day can drag us
Down, down, down
But there's nothing left to fear
When love gets into town

I'm so full of desire

When you set my head on fire
I need to be right by your side

RIGHT DOWN THE LINE

Gerry Rafferty

You know I need your love

You've got that hold over me
Long as I've got your love
You know that I'll never leave
When I wanted you to share my life
I had no doubt in my mind
And it's been you woman
Right down the line

I know how much I lean on you

Only you can see
The changes that I've been through
Have left a mark on me
You've been as constant as a Northern Star
The brightest light that shines
It's been you woman right down the line

I just wanna say this is my way

Of tellin' you everything
I could never say before
Yeah this is my way of tellin' you
That every day I'm lovin' you so much more
'Cause you believed in me through my darkest night
Put somethin' better inside of me
You brought me into the light
Threw away all those crazy dreams
I put them all behind
And it was you woman
Right down the line

I just wanna say this is my way of tellin' you everything

I could never say before
Yeah this is my way of tellin' you
Everything I could never say before
Yeah this is my way of tellin' you
That every day I'm lovin' you so much more

If I should doubt myself, if I'm losing ground

I won't turn to someone else
They'd only let me down
When I wanted you to share my life
I had no doubt in my mind
And it's been you woman
Right down the line

RIGHT HERE WAITING

Richard Marx
- written by Richard Marx

Oceans apart day after day

And I slowly go insane
I hear your voice on the line
But it doesn't stop the pain

If I see you next to never

How can we say forever

Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you

I took for granted, all the times

That I thought would last somehow
I hear the laughter, I taste the tears
But I can't get near you now

Oh, can't you see it baby

You've got me goin' crazy

Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you

I wonder how we can survive

This romance
But in the end if I'm with you
I'll take the chance

Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you
Waiting for you

Right Here, Right Now

Jesus Jones

A woman on the radio talks about revolution

when it's already passed her by
but Bob Dylan didn't have this to sing about you
you know it feels good to be alive

I was alive and I waited waited

I was alive and I waited for this
Right here, right now, there is no other place I want to be
Right here, right now, watching the world wake up from history

I saw the decade in, when it seemed

the world could change at the blink of an eye
And if anything
then there's your sign of the times

I was alive and I waited waited

I was alive and I waited for this
Right here, right now

I was alive and I waited waited

I was alive and I waited for this
Right here, right now, there is no other place I want to be
Right here, right now, watching the world wake up from history

Right here, right now, there is no other place I want to be

Right here, right now, watching the world wake up from history

Right here, right now, there is no other place I want to be

Right here, right now, watching the world wake up

Right Here/Human Nature/Downtown

SWV (Sister With Voices)

Lately there seems to be

Some insecurities
About the way I feel
Where I wanna be
Boy, you know it's with you
No one can do
The things you do to me
Never to be mistaking
Long as it's love we're making

There'll be no hesitate
You and me
They way we'll be
And I will be
Right by your side

chorus
Love will be right here
Be right here
No fears
Have no fear
No tears
Love is here

True love some don't believe in

That's just what I'm giving
I'm gonna keep it strong
I'll be holding on to you
No one can do me like you do
It's true

Sure as the sun is shining

Our love will keep on climbing
There's gonna be some rain
Gonna be some pain
But as long as I know
Boy time will show
Our love will grow
And I know

chorus

Don't let go
You should know
This thing is real
No question
No stressing
Love will be . . .

Beverly Hills 90210 Soundtrack

It's the right kind of love

It's the right kind of night
You're the right kind of girl

Hey, oh yeah
It's the right kind of love
Kind of love

Daydreaming about you baby

And it must be love
Girl you make my heart go crazy
High as the heavens above
I hope you're thinking about me girl
Because all of my thoughts are with you
My love
There's no reason to doubt me
Believe me it's true

Girl I know I can give you

The right kind of love
It's the right kind of night
You're the right kind of girl
And we're right on time
Oh now baby
You know we can't go wrong

Why you trying to hold back baby

Tell me what you feel
If you're having mixed emotions
I'll show you that I'm for real
What can I do to make you see
There's nobody but you
And girl
It's not magic or fantasy
It's simple and true

I know I can give you

The right kind of love
It's the right kind of night
You're the right kind of girl
I'm the right kind of guy
It's the right kind of love
On the right kind of night
There's the right kind of stars
In the right kind of sky
Oh now baby
You know we can't go wrong

Girl-
I got a heart that's true
I got the right kind of love
I'm gonna give it to you
And you got me romantic
Can't you see

And you're the right kind of girl for me
I got a heart that's true

RIGHT ON THE TIP OF MY TONGUE

Brenda and the Tabulations

It was right on the tip of my tongue

And I forgot to say "I love you"
It was right on the tip of my tongue
And I forgot to say "I love you"

I played the game of love and lost

And now my heart must pay the cost
I had the chance to make you mine, but I wasted too much time
And let your love slip away

It was right on the tip of my tongue

And I forgot to say "I love you"
It was right on the tip of my tongue
And I forgot to say "I love you"

While I was wondering where to start

She came along and won your heart
With all the tender words of love that I was thinking of
But never bothered to say

Mmm, wait a minute, wait a minute

I've got something to tell you
Don't walk away, baby

It was right on the tip of my tongue

And I forgot to say "I love you"
It was right on the tip of my tongue
(And I forgot to say) to say, to say...

(Ah, ah, ahh, tip of my tongue) my tongue

(Tip of my tongue)

SPOKEN:
Didn't you know? Couldn't you see?
I tried to tell you--please...?
Don't you understand? I love you...
Don't walk away...oh, please...?

Right On Track
Breakfast Club

Gonna make a move that knocks you over

Watch this turn one's gonna put you away
But I'm doing my very best dancing
Every time you're looking the other way
I could move out to the left for a while
I could slide to the right for a while
I could get up and back
Right on track
But is right on track
Is that gonna get you back

I've been trying to get your attention

And I'm very, very close to thinking of a way
I could be big and tough and other funny stuff
But you just keep looking the other way

How far away can you go

And still be dancing with me
Would you mind staying in the vicinity
I've not been faring badly
But I would gladly take you back

There must be some kind of bad connection

'Cause this music does not sound the way it did
I got to get up and back 'cause I've been off track
And that may be just why you disappeared
But now I've got you in the corner

And I've got one more move I can try of my eye

And I've got one more move I can try

The Right Thing

Simply Red

In the middle of the night

When the time is right
Sexily right

I'm gonna do the right thing

I'm feeling hot
I ain't ever gonna stop
To get what you got
You better take what I bring

I feel it now
Much harder now
More than any old how
Say you feel the pain

Feel I'm getting harder now

(Get off your back four, get on top more)
Feel I'm sinking farther down
(Get off your back four, get on top more)
I told you to stop
You're sleeping out a lot
You told me get lost
Where's your understanding

I feel it now
Much harder than I've ever done now, now
Hey, I'm gonna do the right thing

Feel I'm getting harder now

(Get off your back four, get on top more)
Feel I'm sinking farther down
(Get off your back four, get on top more)

In the middle of the night

When the time is right
Sexily right
I'm gonna do the right thing

I'm on fire now

You know I'm on fire now
You know I told you
That I would never dream of leaving now
If I did it right

The Right Thing To Do

Artist: Carly Simon (peak Billboard position #17 in 1973)

Words and Music by Carly Simon
Live version from her "Greatest Hits-Live" LP

There's nothin' you can do to turn me away

Nothin' anyone can say
You're with me now and as long as you stay
Lovin you's the right thing to do
Lovin you's the right thing

I know you've had some bad luck with ladies before

They drove you or you drove them crazy
But more important is I know you're the one and I'm sure
Lovin you's the right thing to do
Lovin you's the right thing

And it used to be for a while

That the river flowed right to my door
Making me just a little too free
But now the river doesn't seem to stop here anymore

Hold me in your hands like a bunch of flowers

Set me movin' to your sweetest song
And I know what I think I've known all along
Lovin you's the right thing to do
Lovin you's the right thing
(Lovin you's the right thing to do)
(Is the right thing to do)

Nothing you can ever do would turn me away from you

Well, I love you now and I love you now
Even though you're ten thousand miles away
I'll love you tomorrow as I love you today
I'm in love, babe
I'm in love with you, babe

Quarter moon walkin' thru the Milky Way

I'll take you night ridin' in my chevy car

Oh, the stars are winkin' above
Honey, it's the right time of the night

Tell you, that's the way my momma
Always said it should be

Rikki Don't Lose That Number

Steely Dan
Written by Donald Fagan and Walter Becker

We hear you're leaving, that's OK

I thought our little wild time had just begun,
I guess you kind of scared yourself, you turn and run
But if you have a change of heart.

Rikki don't lose that number;

You don't wanna call nobody else.
Send it off in a letter to yourself.
Rikki don't lose that number;
It's the only one you own.
You might use it if you feel better,
When you get home.

I have a friend in town, he's heard your name.

We can go out driving on Slow Hand Row
We could stay inside and play games I don't know
And you could have a change of heart.

Rikki don't lose that number;

You don't wanna call nobody else.
Send it off in a letter to yourself.
Rikki don't lose that number;
It's the only one you own.
You might use it if you feel better,
When you get home.

(Lead break)

You tell yourself you're not my kind

But you don't even know your mind.
And you could have a change of heart.

Rikki don't lose that number;

You don't wanna call nobody else.
Send it off in a letter to yourself.
Rikki don't lose that number;
It's the only one you own.
You might use it if you feel better,
When you get home.

Ring of Fire
Johnny Cash

Love is a burnin thing,

And it makes a fiery ring
Bound by wild desire --
I fell into a ring of fire.

I fell into a burnin ring of fire --

I went down, down, down
And the flames went higher,
And it burns, burn, burns,
The ring of fir, the ring of fire.

The taste of love is sweet

When hearts like ours meet.
I fell for you like a child --
Oh, but the fire ran wild.

I fell into a burnin ring of fire --

I went down, down, down
And the flames went higher,
And it burns, burn, burns,
The ring of fir, the ring of fire.

I fell into a burnin ring of fire --

I went down, down, down,
And the flames went higher,
And it burns, burn, burns,
The ring of fir, the ring of fire.

I was sitting by the phone

I was waiting all alone
Baby by myself I sit and wait and wonder about you
It's a dark and dreary night
Seems like nothing's going right
Won't you tell me honey how can I go on here without you?

Yes I'm down and feeling blue

And I don't know what to do, oh-oh

Ring, ring, why don't you give me a call?

Ring, ring, the happiest sound of them all
Ring, ring, I stare at the phone on the wall
And I sit all alone impatiently
Won't you please understand the need in me
So, ring, ring, why don't you give me a call?
So, ring, ring, why don't you give me a call?

You were here and now you're gone

Hey did I do something wrong?
I just can't believe that I could be so badly mistaken
Was it me or was it you?
Tell me, are we really through?
Won't you hear me cry and you will know that my heart is breaking

Please forgive and then forget

Or maybe darling better yet, oh-oh

Ring, ring, why don't you give me a call?

Ring, ring, the happiest sound of them all
Ring, ring, I stare at the phone on the wall
And I sit all alone impatiently
Won't you please understand the need in me

Ringo
Lorne Greene

He lay face down in the desert sand

Clutching his six-gun in his hand
Shot from behind, I thought he was dead
But under his heart was an ounce of lead
But a spark still burned so I used my knife
And late that night I saved the life of Ringo

(Ringo . . . Ringo . . .)

I nursed him till the danger passed

The days went by, he mended fast
Then from dawn till setting sun
He practiced with that deadly gun
And hour on hour I watched in awe
No human being could match the draw of Ringo

(Ringo . . . Ringo . . . )

One day we rode the mountain crest

And I went east and he went west
I took to law and wore a star
While he spread terror near and far
With lead and blood he gained such fame
All throught the West they feared the name of Ringo

(Ringo . . . Ringo . . . )

I knew someday I'd face the test

Which one of us would be the best
And sure enough the word came down
That he was holed up in the town
I left the posse out in the street
And I went in alone to meet Ringo

(Ringo . . . Ringo . . . )

They said my speed was next to none

But my lightning draw had just begun
When I heard a blast that stung my wrist
The gun went flying from my fist
And I was looking down the bore
Of the deadly .44 of Ringo

(Ringo . . . Ringo . . . )

They say that was the only time

That anyone had seen him smile
He slowly lowered his gun and then
He said to me "We're even, friend"
And so at last I understood
That there was still a spark of good in Ringo

(Ringo . . . Ringo . . . )

I blocked the path of his retreat

He turned and stepped into the street
A dozen guns spit fire and lead
A moment later, he lay dead

(Ringo . . . Ringo . . . )

The story spread throughout the land

That I had beaten Ringo's hand
And it was just the years, they say
That made me put my guns away
But on his grave they can't explain
The tarnished star above the name of Ringo

RINGS
Cymarron
(E. Reeves, A. Harvey)

- Note: Believe this was originally written for a wedding. Just another one-hit wonder.

Ring, ring, telephone rings

Somebody said, "Baby won't you do it?"
I been wondering where you been
Now and then, I think about you and me

No use ????in' 'bout things we can't recall

It don't matter now at allllll,
Just come on home: Baby we'll laugh and sing
We'll make love, we'll let the telephone ring

'Ring, ring, doorbell ring'

Baby come on in, got James Taylor on the stereo
I'm glad you've come around, I've been feelin' down
Just talkin' to Tony and Mario

You know they make good conversation,

Still it ain't no consolation
Cause I got love, baby I'll give you some
And if somebody comes, we'll let the doorbell ring

Said 'Ring, ring, golden ring

Around the sun, around your pretty finger'
'Ring, ring, voices ring
With a happy tune, anybody can be a singer'

The sun come up across the city

I swear you never looked so doggone pretty

Hand in hand,
We'll stand upon the sand
With the preacher man
Let the wedding bells ring

Oh-ohhh, hand in hand

We'll stand upon the sand
With the preacher man
Let the wedding bells ring....

RIO
Duran Duran
(Simon LeBon)

Wow
Moving on the floor now babe you're a bird of paradise
Cherry ice cream smile I suppose it's very nice
With a step to your left and a flick to the right
You catch that mirror way out west
You know you're something special and you look like you're the best

Her name is Rio and she dances on the sand

Just like that river twisting through a dusty land
And when she shines she really shows you all she can
Oh Rio Rio dance across the Rio Grande

I've seen you on the beach and I've seen you on t.v.
Two, of a billion stars it means so much to me
Like a birthday or a pretty view
But then I'm sure that you know it's just for you

Hey now (wow) look at that did he nearly run you down
At the end of the drive the lawmen arrive you make me feel
Alive, alive, alive

I'll take my chance 'cause luck is on my side

I tell you something I know what you're thinking
I tell you something I know what you're thinking

Her name is Rio, she don't need to understand

I might find her if I'm looking like I can
Oh Rio Rio hear them shout across the land
From mountains in the north down to the Rio Grande

RIO DE JANEIRO
Barry White

(M. Jackson/C. P. Jackson/B. White)

Have you been there? (4x)

What're you talkin' about, man?
I'm talkin' about Rio, Rio, Rio, Rio.

I've been to Rio de Janeiro.

I love the fun in the sun and the people.
In Rio de Janeiro, it's so exciting to see,
no matter where you go.

Any time, day or night, everything is so alive.

Music there is really hot.
You should see 'em do the Rio rock.
Nothing like it nowhere else.
It's a feeling that I've never felt.
Never stops, never ends.
It blows your mind just being there.

In Rio de Janeiro,
I love the fun in the sun with the people.
In Rio de Janeiro, it's so exciting to see,
no matter where you go.

I went to Sugar Hill the other night.

From the top you see the city lights.
Took the cable car to the other side.
The moon above was big and bright.
Then I saw this huge crowd.
People dancing and singing loud.
People smiled as I walked around.
I felt so good, so I got down.
In Rio, Rio de Janeiro.

Saturday night and I just got paid

I'm gonna rock it up, *whoo*

Rip it up

Gonna ball it up

And ball tonight.

Well almost 'bout ten I'll be flying high

I'll rock on out unto the sky

RIP VAN WINKLE

The Devotions

Note: This song has a "background" song played with the

main song and music, making it unusually difficult
to make out the words. Here is my attempt:

Intro: Sound of rolling bowling ball and falling pins.

"Wow-wee a strike!"

Background: Boom-boom, boom boom-a-boom-boom

Boom-boom, boom boom-a-boom-boom
Rip Van Winkle, Rip van Winkle
Sleep, sleep, sleep
Rip Van Winkle, Rip Van Winkle
Sleep, sleep, sleep

He fell asleep in the woods one day

(??-unclear) lost his way
That night he was (??-unclear) story
Nothing (??-unclear) ever joy
Those little men bowling in his dream
He left his nagging wife now
(Slept for 20 years)
Didn't bother to wake up
(He grew a long white beard)
This is how the story goes
(Listen my children and you will hear)
He fell asleep in the woods one day
(??-unclear) lost his way
That night he was (??-unclear) story
Nothing (??-unclear) ever joy
Those little men bowling in his dream

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz (snoring)
(rolling ball, pins falling, "wow-wee!")

Note: (??-unclear) means "This line is so badly

garbled that I can't even make a wild guess as to what the heck it's
supposed to be"

It gets higher, so much higher, as it goes

Do I love you, my oh my
River Deep, Mountain High, yeah, yeah, yeah

THE RIVER IS WIDE

Grassroots and The Forum
(Grassroots charted higher, but *I* think the Forum was better :-)
That is the version I transcribed)

Dance with me baby baby

Dance with me baby baby
Cause the river sees (??)
That the river gets wide
The river gets long now
The water runs deep
As our love gets strong now
Oh baby don't fight
Cause girl all tonight
You belong to me...
Upon the roof we heard the gentle rain
With the rhythm of our heartbeats down it came
As each drop will wash away the pain
No one on Earth can stop one drop of rain
And the river gets wide
The river gets long now
The feeling gets deep
As our love gets strong now
So baby don't fight
Cause girl all tonight
You belong to me
It's too late to turn the tide baby
It's too late to hide away baby
It's too late for both denying to be-ee-ee (??)
The river gets wide
The river gets long now
the water gets deep
As our love gets strong now (fading out)

The River Is Wide

The Kingston Trio

Not charted as a single--from their "Make Way" LP

English folk song with modern lyrics by Ovid Young

The river is wide, I cannot see

Nor do I have light wings to fly
There'll be a boat that can carry two
And both shall row, my love and I

My love is like the lofty tree

It shudders fears and then sways free
If it should fade when the summer's through
She'll bloom again when Spring shines through

When love is young, then love is fine

Just like a gem when first it's new
But love grows old and waxes cold
And fades away like the morning dew

<guitar solo>

The river is wide, I cannot see

Nor do I have light wings to fly
There'll be a boat that can carry two
And both shall row, my love and I

THE RIVER OF DREAMS

Billy Joel

In the middle of the night

I go walking in my sleep
From the mountains of faith
To a river so deep

I must be looking for something

Something sacred I lost
But the river is wide
And it's too hard to cross

And even though I know the river is wide

I walk down every evening and I stand on the shore
And try to cross to the opposite side
So I can finally find out what I've been looking for

In the middle of the night

I go walking in my sleep
Through the valley of fear
To a river so deep

And I've been searching for something

Taken out of my soul
Something I would never lose
Something somebody stole

I don't know why I go walking at night

But now I'm tired and I don't want to walk anymore
I hope it doesn't take the rest of my life
Until I find what it is that I've been looking for

In the middle of the night

I go walking in my sleep
Through the jungle of doubt
To a river so deep

I know I'm searching for something

Something so undefined
That it can only be seen
By the eyes of the blind

In the middle of the night

I'm not sure about a life after this

God knows I've never been a spiritual man
Baptized by the fire, I wade into the river
That runs to the promised land

In the middle of the night

I go walking in my sleep
Through the desert of truth
To the river so deep

We all end in the ocean

We all start in the streams
We're all carried along
By the river of dreams

In the middle of the night

The River of No Return

Marilyn Monroe

There is a river called THE RIVER OF NO RETURN

Sometimes it's peaceful and sometimes wild and free!
Love is a trav'ler on THE RIVER OF NO RETURN
Swept on for ever to be lost in the stormy sea
Wail-a-ree I can hear the river call [ no return, no return ]
Where the roarin' waters fall wail-a-ree
I can hear my lover call come to me [ no return, no return ]
I lost my love on the river and for ever my heart will yearn
Gone gone for ever down THE RIVER OF NO RETURN
Wail-a-ree wail-a-re-e-ee
She'll/He'll never return to me! [ no return, no return, no return ]

You keep goin' your way,

I'll keep goin' my way,
River, stay 'way from my door.

I just got a cabin,

You don't need my cabin,
River, stay 'way from my door.

Don't come up any higher,

Leave my bed and my fire

Reach Out And Touch (Somebody's Hand)

Diana Ross

Reach out and touch

Somebody's hand
Make this world a better place
If you can
Reach out and touch
Somebody's hand
Make this world a better place
If you can

(Just try)
Take a little time out of your busy day
To give encouragement
To someone who's lost the way
(Just try)
Or would I be talking to a stone
If I asked you
To share a problem that's not your own
We can change things if we start giving
Why don't you

Reach out and touch

Somebody's hand
Make this world a better place
If you can
Reach out and touch
Somebody's hand
Make this world a better place
If you can

(Just try)
If you see an old friend on the street
And he's down
Remember his shoes could fit your feet
(Just try)
Try a little kindness you'll see
It's something that comes very naturally
We can change things if we start giving

Why don't you

Reach out and touch
Why don't you (Why don't you)
Reach out and touch somebody's hand

Your heart will just never stop aching
And when you just can't accept the abuse you are taking

Don't you worry I'll see you through

You just have to reach out for me

Oh yes I will
Comfort you and love you

Could throw in the towel and just given in

That people are finally getting together
Reach out in the darkness
Reach out in the darkness
Reach out in the darkness
And you may find a friend

I knew a man that I did not care for

And then one day this man gave me a call
We sat and talked about things on our mind

Don't be afraid, don't be afraid to love

Reaching Out
Bee Gees

Watching ev'ry day go by , living in a foolish game

Just the way I feel today
Living my life without you
Never hear a single word , living in a lullaby
Praying ev'ry tear I cry
Living my life without you
And ev'rywhere you go I fly (I love you with a special feeling)
And darling till the day I die (baby never stop believing)
I'll be reaching out, I'll be reaching out , Ahh....
Reaching out (there's a woman goin' through me)
I'll be reaching out ( got a chance to hold you to me ) Ahh..
Ev'rything is lonely and I need you
Living my life forever , forever

Watching ev'ry day go by

Living on the one I love
What I got is not enough
Living my life without you
And I believe in yesterday (yesterday was once tomorrow)
With love, with love wide open ev'ry way(baby you're the light I follow)
I'll be reaching out , I'll be reaching out , Ahh
Reaching out (there's a woman going through me)
I'll be reaching out (got a chance to hold you to me)
Ev'rything is lonely and I need you
Living my life forever
I'll be reaching out
I'll be reaching out
Reaching out
I'll be reaching out
Living my life forever

Reaching out , I'll be reaching out (repeat and fade )

READ 'EM AND WEEP

Barry Manilow

I've been trying for hours just to think of what exactly to say
I thought I'd leave you with a letter or fiery speech
Like when an actor makes an exit at the end of a play

And I've been dying for hours trying to fill up all the holes with some sense
I'd like to know how you faded and you threw it away
I'd like to give you all the reasons and what everything meant

Well I could tell you goodbye or maybe see you around

With just a touch of a sarcastic thanks
We started out with a bang and at the top of the world
Now the guns are exhausted and the bullets are blanks
And everything's blank

CHORUS:
If I could find the words then I would write it all down
If I could only find a voice I would speak
Oh it's there in my eyes so can't you see me tonight
Come on and look at me and read 'em and weep

CHORUS

I've been whispering softly, trying to build a cry up to a scream

We let the past slip away, and put the future on hold
Now the present is nothing but a hollowed out dream

And I've been dying for hours trying to fill up all the holes with some sense
I'd like to know why you faded and you threw it away
I'd like to give you all the reasons and what everything meant

Well I could tell you good-bye or maybe see you around

With just a touch of a sarcastic thanks
But now the rooms are all empty, the candles are dark
The guns are exhausted and the bullets are blanks, and everything's blank

CHORUS

It's there in my eyes and coming straight from my heart

It's running silent and angry and deep
It's there in my eyes and it's all I can say
Come on and read 'em and weep

Read 'em and weep - for all the hours we'll be spending alone
Read 'em and weep - for the dreams we'll ignore

Running silent and deep

And all those promises we promised to keep, they won't be kept anymore
Read 'em and weep - for the magic that our bodies had made
Read 'em and weep - for the blood that we lost

Running silent and deep

And all the secrets that we somehow betrayed
For whatever the cost
Read 'em and weep - for the memories still alive in the bed
Read 'em and weep - for the lies we believed

Running silent and deep

And all the things that can never be said
Why don't you look at me and read 'em and weep
Come on and look at me and read 'em and weep

Ready To Take A Chance Again

-Artist: Barry Manilow as sung on "Greatest Hits" -Arista A2L 8601

-peak Billboard position # 11 in 1978
-from the film "Foul Play" starring Goldie Hawn and Chevy Chase
-Words by Norman Gimbel and Music by Charles Fox

You remind me I live in a shell

Safe from the past and doin' okay but not very well
No jolts, no surprises, no crisis arises
My life goes along as it should
It's all very nice, not very good

CHORUS
And I'm ready to take a chance again
Ready to put my love on the line with you
Been livin' with nothing for show for it
You get what you get when you go for it
And I'm ready to take a chance again with you

When she left me, in all my despair

I just held on, my hopes were all gone
Then I found you there

CHORUS

CHORUS

And I'm ready to take a chance again

Ready to take a chance again with you
With you

Real Love
The Doobie Brothers

Darlin', I know
I'm just another head on your pillow
If only just tonight, girl
Let me hear you lie just a little
Tell me I'm the only man
That you ever really loved
Honey take me back
Deep in my memory
A time when it was all very right
So very nice

Here, darlin' stands another bandit wantin' you

In and out your life, they come and they go
Your days and nights like a wheel that turns
Gridin' down a secret part of you
Deep inside your heart
That nobody knows

When you say comfort me

To anyone who approaches
Chalkin' up the hurt
We live and we learn
Well we've both lived
Long enough to know
We'd trade it all right now
For just one minute of real love

Real World
Matchbox 20

I wonder what it's like to be the rainmaker

I wonder what it's like to know that I made the rain
I'd store it in boxes with little yellow tags on everyone
and you can come and see them when I'm done....when I'm done

I wonder what it's like to be a superhero

I wonder where I'd go if I could fly around downtown
from some other planet, I'd get this funky high on yellow sun
boy I bet my friends will all be....stunned.......they're stunned
yeah

(chorus)
straight up what did you hope to learn about here
if I were someone else would this all fall apart
strange, where were you when we started this gig
I wish the real world would just stop hassling me...and you....and
you...and me

I wonder what it's like to be the head honcho

I wonder what I'd do if they all did just what I said
I'd shout out an order, I think we're out of this, man, get me some
And boy don't make me want to change my.....tone.....my tone....
yeah

please don't change, please don't break

the only thing that seems to work at all is you
please don't change, at all from me

Reason To Believe
Rod Stewart With Ronnie Wood

If I listen long enough to you,

I'd find a way to believe that it's all true.
Knowing, that you lied, straight-faced,
While I cried.
Still I look to find a reason to believe.

Someone like you makes it hard to live without

Somebody else.
Someone like you makes it easy to give
In everything about myself.

If I gave you time to change my mind,

I'd find a way just to leave the past behind.
Knowing, that you lied, straight-faced,
While I cried.
Still I look to find a reason to believe.

If I listen long enough to you,

I'd find a way to believe that it's all true.
Knowing, that you lied, straight-faced,
While I cried.
Still I look to find a reason to believe.

Somebody else.
Someone like you makes it easy to give
In everything about myself.

Someone like you makes it hard to live without

No way, how will I fit in your life?

How could you live with a man without change?
Too strange and too poor to be trusted
Busted a couple of times
Shaken a bit by the years on the road
And the women I've known

Meet me down by the jetty landing

Where the pontoons bump and spray
All the others reading, standing
As the Manly ferry cuts its way to Circular Quay

Hear the captain blow his whistle

So long she's been away
I miss our early morning wrestle
Not a very happy way to start the day

She don't like that kind of behaviour
She don't like that kind of behaviour

Chorus
So throw down your guns
Don't be so Reckless
Throw down guns
Don't be so

Feel like Scott of the Antarctic

Base camp too far away
A Russian sun beneath the Artic
Burke and Wills and camels
Initials in the tree

Take a good look at it,look at it now

Might be the last time you'll have a good round
I'll let you touch it if you'd like to go down
I'll let you go further
If you take the southern route
Don't go too fast, don't go too slow
You've got to let your body flow
I like 'em attentive and I like 'em in control

1-Baby it's yours, all yours

If you want it tonight
I'll give you the red light special
All through the night
Baby it's yours, all yours
If you want it tonight
Just come through my door
Take off my clothes
And turn on the red light

I know that you want me

I can see it in your eyes
You might as well be honest
'Cause the body never lies
Tell me your secrets and I, I'll tell you mine
I'm feelin' quite sexy and I want you for tonight

If I move too fast just let me know

'Cause it means you move too slow
I like some excitement
And I like a man that goes
(repeat 1)

If you want me let me know it

I'll make time but you've got to show it
If you need me, I want to see
But don't mistake me
I don't want you down on your knees
I need someone, a real man,
I need someone who understands
I'm a woman, a real woman
I know just what I want
I know just who I am

I'd have sworn that with time

Thoughts of you would leave my head
I was wrong and I find
Just one thing makes me forget

Red, red wine

Stay close to me
Don't let me be alone
It's tearin' apart my blue, blue heart

I'd have sworn that with time

Thoughts of you would leave my head

Just one thing makes me forget

Stay close to me
Don't let me be alone
It's tearin' apart my blue, blue heart

RED, RED WINE

UB40

Red, red wine goes to my head,

Makes me forget that I still need her so

Red, red wine, it's up to you

All I can do I've done
Memories won't go, memories won't go

Life is fine every time,

Thoughts of you leave my head
I was wrong, now I find
Just one thing makes me forget

Red, red wine, stay close to me

Don't let me be alone
It's tearing apart my blue heart

Red red wine, you make me feel so fine,

You keep me rockin' all of the time
Red red wine, you make me feel so grand,
I feel a million dollar when you're just in my hand
Red red wine, you make me feel so sad,
Any time I see you go, it make me feel bad
Red red wine, you make me feel so fine,
Monkey back and ease up on the sweet deadline

Red red wine, you give me holy pahzing

Holy pahzing, you make me do my own thing
Red red wine, you give me not awful love
Your kind of lovin' like a blessing from above
Red red wine, I loved you right from the start,
Right from the start, and with all of my heart
Red red wine in an eighties style
Red red wine in a modern beat style
Yeah

Give me a little time, let me clear out my mind

Give me a little time, let me clear out my mind
Give me red wine, the kind make me feel fine
You make me feel fine all of the time
Red red wine, you make me feel so fine
Monkey back and ease up on the sweet deadline
The line broke, the money get choked,
Bunbah, ganjapani, little rubber boat
Red red wine, I'm gonna hold on to you,
Hold on to you 'cause I know you love truth
Red red wine, I'm gonna love you till I die,
Love you till I die, and that's no lie
Red red wine, can't get your off my mind
Wherever you may be, I'll surely find,
I'll surely find. Make no fuss, just leave us

Red Rubber Ball

- Artists: The Cyrkle

- peak Billboard position # 2 in 1966
- Words and Music by Paul Simon (yes, THAT Paul Simon) and Bruce Woodley

I should have known you'd bid me farewell

There's a lesson to be learned from this and I learned it very well
Now I know you're not the only starfish in the sea
If I never hear your name again, it's all the same to me

CHORUS
And I think it's gonna be all right
Yeah, the worst is over now
The mornin' sun is shinin' like a red rubber ball

You never care for secrets I confide

For you I'm just an ornament, somethin' for your pride
Always runnin', never carin', that's the life you live
Stolen minutes of your time were all ya had to give

CHORUS

The story's in the past with nothin' to recall

I've got my life to live and I don't need you at all
The roller-coaster ride we took is nearly at an end
I bought my ticket with my tears, that's all I'm gonna spend

CHORUS

Oh, oh, oh
I think it's gonna be all right
Yeah, the worst is over now
The mornin' sun is shinin' like a red rubber ball

just to get half as high

Reelin' In The Years

Steely Dan

Your everlastin' summer, you can see it fadin' fast

So you grab a piece of somethin' that you think is gonna last
Well, you wouldn't even know a diamond if you held it in your hand
The things you think are precious I can't understand
Are you reelin' in the years, stowin' away the time
Are you gatherin' up the tears, have you had enough of mine
Are you reelin' in the years, stowin' away the time
Are you gatherin' up the tears, have you had enough of mine
You've been tellin' me you're a genius since you were seventeen
In all the time I've known you, I still don't know what you mean
The weekend at the college didn't turn out like you planned
The things that pass for knowledge, I can't understand
Are you reelin' in the years, stowin' away the time
Are you gatherin' up the tears, have you had enough of mine
Are you reelin' in the years, stowin' away the time
Are you gatherin' up the tears, have you had enough of mine
I spent a lot of money and I spent a lot of time
The trip we made to Hollywood is still etched upon my mind
After all the things we've done and seen you find another man
The things you think are useless I can't understand
Are you reelin' in the years, stowin' away the time
Are you gatherin' up the tears, have you had enough of mine
Are you reelin' in the years, stowin' away the time
Are you gatherin' up the tears, have you had enough of mine

Reflections
Diana Ross & The Supremes
(Brian Holland/Lamont Dozier/Edward Holland, Jr.)

Through the mirror of my mind

Time after time
I see reflections of you and me

Reflections of
The way life used to be
Reflections of
The love you took from me

Oh, I'm all alone now

No love to shield me
Trapped in a world
That's a distorted reality

Hapiness you took from me

And left me alone
With only memories

Through the mirror of my mind

Through these tears that I'm crying
Reflects a hurt I can't control
'Cause although you're gone
I keep holding on
To the happy times
Oh, when you were mine

As I peer through the window

Of lost time
Looking over my yesterdays
And all the love I gave all in vain
(All the love) All the love
That I've waisted
(All the tears) All the tears
That I've taisted
All in vain

Through the hollow of my tears

I see a dream that's lost
From the hurt
That you have caused

Everywhere I turn
Seems like everything I see
Reflects the love that used to be

In you I put
All my faith and trust
Right before my eyes
My world has turned to dust

After all the nights

I sat alone and wept
Just a handful of promisses
Are all that's left of loving you

Reflections of
The way life used to be

The Reflex
The Reflex
The Reflex

You've gone too far this time

And I'm dancing on the valantine
I tell you somebody's fooling around
With my chances on the danger line
I'll cross that bridge when I find it
Antother day
To make my stand
High time is no time for deciding
If I should find a helping hand

Why don't you use it ?

Try not to bruise it ?
Buy time don't loose it

Why don't you use it ?

Try not to bruise it ?
Buy time don't loose it

The reflex is a lonley child

Who's waiting by the park
The reflex is a door to finding
Treasure in the dark
And watching over lucky clover
Isn't that bizare
Everylittle thing the reflex does
Must be answered with a question mark

I'm on a ride and I want to get off

But they won't slow down the round-about
I sold the radio and T.V. set
Don't want to be around when this gets out

Why don't you use it ?

The reflex is a lonley child

Who's waiting by the park
The reflex is a door to finding
Treasure in the dark
And watching over lucky clover
Isn't that bizare
Everylittle thing the reflex does
Must be answered with a question mark

Why don't you use it ?

Try not to bruise it ?
Buy time don't loose it

REFUGEE
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

We got somethin' we both know it

We don't talk too much about it
Yeah it ain't no real big secret all the same
Somehow we get around it
Listen it don't really matter to me baby
You believe what you want to believe
You see you don't have to live like a refugee

Somewhere, somehow somebody

Must have kicked you around some
Tell me why you wanna lay there
And revel in your abandon
Listen it don't make no difference to me baby
Everybody's had to fight to be free
You see you don't have to live like a refugee
Now baby you don't have to live like a refugee

Baby we ain't the first

I'm sure a lot of other lover's been burned
Right now this seems real to you
But it's one of those things
You gotta feel to be true

Somewhere, somehow somebody

Must have kicked you around some
Who knows, maybe you were kidnapped
Tied up, taken away and held for ransom
It don't really matter to me
Everybody's had to fight to be free
You see you don't have to live like a refugee
I said you don't have to live like a refugee

Regret
New Order

Maybe I've forgotten

The name and the address
Of everyone I've ever known,
It's nothing I regret
Save it for another day, cause
The school is and the
Kids have run away

I would like a place I can call my own

Have a conversation on my telephone
Wake up everyday, that would be a start
I would not complain by my wounded heart

I was upset, you see

Almost all the time
You used to be a stranger
Now you are mine

I wouldn't even trust you

I've not that much to give
We're dealing in the limits, and
We don't know who with
You may think that I'm out of hand
That I'm naive, I'll understand
On this occasion, it's not true
Look at me, I'm not you

I would like a place I can call my own

Have a conversation on the telephone
Wake up everyday, that would be a start
I would not complain with my wounded heart

I was a short fuse

Burning all the time
You were a complete stranger
Now you are mine

I would like a place I can call my own

Have a conversation on the telephone
Wake up everyday, that would be a start
I would not complain with my wounded heart

Just wait 'till tomorrow

I guess that's what they all say
Just before they fall apart...

Regulate
Warren G And Nate Dog

It was a clear black night, a clear white moon

Warren G. is on the streets, trying to consume
some skirts for the eve, so i can get some funk
just rollin' in my ride, chillin all alone

Just hit the eatside of the L.B.C.

on a mission trying to find Mr. Warren G.
Seen a car full of skirts ain't no need to tweak
all you skirts know what's up with 213

So I hooks a left on the 21 to Lewis

some brothas shootin dice so i said "let's do this"
I jumped out the ride, and said"what's up?"
some brothas pulled some gats so i said "i'm stuck"

Since these girls peepin me i'ma glide and swerve

these hookers lookin so hard they straight hit the curb
gonna think of better things than some horny tricks
i see my homey and some suckers all in his mix

I'm gettin jacked, I'm breakin myself

I can't believe they're taking Warren's wealth
they took my rings, they took my rolex
I looked at the brothas and said "damn, what's next?"

They got my homey hemmed up and they all around

ain't none of them seeing if they going straight pound for pound
I gotta come up real quick before they start to clown
i besta pull out my strap and lay them busters down

They got guns to my head

I think I'm going down
I can't believe this happened in my home town
If I had wings I could fly
let me contemplate
I glanced in the cut and I see my homey Nate

Sixteen in the clip and one in the hole

Nate Dogg is about to make some bodies turn cold
now they droppin and yellin
it's a tad bit late
Nate Dogg and Warren G. had to regulate

I laid all them busters down

I let my gat explode
now I'm switching my mind back into freak mode
if you want skirts step back and observe
I just left a gang of those over there on the curb

now Nate got the freaks

and that's a known fact
before i got jacked I was on the same track
back up back up cuz it's on
N-A-T-E and me
the Warren to the G

Just like I thought

they were in the same spot
in need of some desperate help

RELAY
The Who

- The following was transcribed from my copy of a compilation of The Whos'

lesser known works titled "Hooligns" The song is listed both on the cover
and inner sleeve without a "The" in the title and is credited, as are most
of The Whos' compositions, to Pete Townshend, released by Fabulous Music Ltd
in 1972.

You can hear it in the street,

See it in the dragging feet,
The word is getting out about control,
Spies they're come and gone,
The story travels on,
The only quiet place is inside your soul.

>From tree to tree,

>From you to me,
Travelling twice as fast as on any freeway.
Ev'ry single dream
Is wrapped up in the scheme,
They all get carried on the relay.

"Pass it on."

Someone disapproves
Of what you say or do,
I was asked to see what I could learn you;
Don't believe your eyes,
They're seeing only lies,
What is done in the first place don't concern you.

>From tree to tree ........ etc.

Relay, things are brewing,

Relay, something's doin'
Relay, it's a revolution,
Relay, relay,
Hand me down a solution!

"Pass it on."

seems like the other day

my baby went away
she 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 was through

she found somebody new
oh, lemme think, lemme think, what shall I do?
oh no, oh no, oh no no no no no...

(remember) walking in the sand

(remember) walking hand in hand
(remember) the night was so exciting
(remember) her smile was so inviting
(remember) then she touched my cheek
(remember) with her fingertips
(remember) softly, softly we met with a kiss
whatever happened to

the girl that said she'd be true
oh, whatever happened to
that night I gave it to you

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?

Remember Me
Diana Ross
(Nickolas Ashford/Valerie Simpson)

Bye baby, see you around

Didn't I tell you I wouldn't hold you down
Take good care of yourself, y'hear
Don't let me hear about you shedding a tear
You're gonna make it
You're gonna take it

Remember me as a sunny day

That you once had, along the way
Didn't I inspire you a little higher
Remember me as a funny clown
That made you laugh when you were down
Didn't I boy, didn't I boy

Remember me as a big balloon

At a carnaval that ended too soon
Remember me as a breath of spring
Remember me as a good thing

Bye baby, see you around

I already know about the new love you've found
What can I do but wish you well
What we had was really swell
I won't forget it, I have no regrets

Remember me as a sound of laughter

And my face the morning after
Didn't the sky beckon us to fly?
Yes, you'l remember the times we fought
But don't forget me in your tender thoughts
Please darlin' oh yeah

Remember me when you drink the wine

Of sweet succes and I gave you my best
Remember me every song you sing
Remember me as a good thing

Remember me as a sunny day

Please darling, remember me as a good thing
Remember me when you drink the wine
Remember me as a good thing
Remember me as a big balloon
Don't forget me darling

Remember Me?
Bing Crosby
(H. Warren)
"Mr. Dodd Takes The Air"

Do you remember one September afternoon

I stood with you and listened to a wedding tune,
And didn't I go with you on your honeymoon?
Remember me?

Do you recall a cottage small upon a hill

Where ev'ry day I had to pay another bill?
And if I'm not mistaken, dear, I pay them still
Remember me?

I can see that little angel on your knee

Can't you see, He kinda sorta looks like me
For I'm the boy whose only joy is loving you
Who worries till he hurries home when day is thru
And I'm the guy you give you goodnight kisses to
Remember me?

(Remember Me) I'm The One Who Loves You

Dean Martin

When you're all alone and blue

No one to tell your troubles to
Remember me, I'm the one who loves you

When this world has turned you down

And not a true friend can be found
Remember me, I'm the one who loves you

And through all kinds of weather

You'll find I'll never change
Through the sunshine and the shadows
I'll always be the same

We're together right or wrong

Where you go I'll tag along
Remember me, I'm the one who loves you

(And through all kinds of weather

You'll find I'll never change)
Through the sunshine and the shadows
I'll always be the same

(Remember The Days Of) The Old School Yard

Cat Stevens

1. Remember the days of the old school yard

we used to laugh a lot.
Oh don't you remember the days of the old school yard.
When we had imaginings and we had all kinds of things
And we laughed and needed love
Yes I do, oh and I remember you.

2. Remember the days of the old school yard

we used to cry a lot.
Oh don't you remember the days of the old school yard.
When we had simplicity and we had warm toast for tea
And we laughed and needed love
Yes I do, oh and I remember you.

3. You were my sweet love (woman)

My first sweet love (Cat)
My lovey dove (woman)
My love lovey dove (Cat)
No matter what ? (woman)
What ever the place (Cat)
I'd still see your face (woman)
Your smiling face (Cat)
You ??? me (woman)
Inside my dreams (Cat)
Like England's queen? (woman)
God save our Queen. (Cat)
Though time may fade (woman)
Though time may fade (Cat)
It ain't never too late (woman)
To learn about love (both)
learn about love (Cat)

4. Remember the days of the old school yard

REMEMBER THE NIGHTS

The Motels

Fragrance of that long lost evening

Tender moves that keep repeating
Soft night's melody that I can't forget
Younger boy and helpless girl
Passion of the other world
Strange old place from a
Nursery rhyme that I can't forget
I can't go back,but I can't stay
Help me
Remember the nights with you

Street corner stands in shade

Lanterns swing in the heat of day
Old lady sings the song that I can't forget
Little girl that asked you who
Collects the flowers they give to you
Her eyes, her dress, the sky
The blue that you can't forget
I can't go back, but I can't stay
Help me
Remember the nights with you
(repeat)

Long ago and far away

Memory like a dream
I stay in the other place
The other time that I can't forget
I can't go back, but I can't stay
Help me
Remember the nights
Remember the nights
Remember the nights with you

REMEMBER THE TIME

Michael Jackson

Do you remember
When we fell in love
We were so young and innocent then
Do you remember
How it all began
It just seemed like heaven so why did it end?

Do you remember
Back in the fall
We'd be together all day long
Do you remember
Us holding hands
In each other's eyes we'd stare
(Tell me)

Do you remember the time

When we fell in love
Do you remember the time
When we first met
Do you remember the time
When we fell in love
Do you remember the time

Do you remember
How we used to talk
(Ya know)
We'd stay on the phone at night till dawn
Do you remember
All the things we said like
I love you so I'll never let you go

Do you remember
Back in the Spring
Every morning birds would sing
Do you remember
Those special times
They'll just go on and on
In the back of my mind

Do you remember the time

When we fell in love
Do you remember the time
When we first met girl
Do you remember the time
When we fell in love
Do you remember the time

Those sweet memories

Will always be dear to me
And girl no matter what was said
I will never forget what we had
Now baby!

Do you remember the time

When we fell in love

When we first met

Remember What I Told You To Forget

Tavares
(D. Lambert/B.Potter)

The Best Of Tavares

Hello Baby
I betcha never thought I would call
Well my heart just went in with this dime
And I only get three minutes time
Hear me out now
I wanna to make it as clear as I can
There's so much that I want to explain
And the final decision remains
In you hands

Please remember what I told you to forget

There's a man on the phone
And he wants to come home
To the woman he loves all alone

Baby remember what I told you to forget

No I won't waste anytime when I hang up the line
I'll be back in your arms
Where I know I belong

One more minute

Let me pour my heart out to you
'Cause I've kept it all locked up inside
You just can't tell your own foolish pride what to do

So remember what I told you to forget

No I wouldn't waste anytime when I hang up the line
I'll be back in your arms
Where I know I belong

If it isn't already too late

Let me give you a reason to wait
For the life that I'm begging to live
Will depend on the answer you give

Please remember what I told you to forget

There's a man on the phone
And he wants to come home
To the woman he loves all alone

Baby remember what I told you to forget

No I won't waste anytime when I hang up the phone
I'll be back in your arms
I'll be back in your arms
I'll be back in your arms...

Remember When
The Platters
Written by Mickey J. Addy and Buck Ram

Peaked at # 41 in 1959

Remember when (dah-doot-doo-doo) I first met you (dah-doot-doo-doo)

My lips were so afraid to say "I love you"
Remember when (dah-doot-doo-doo), to my surprise (dah-doot-doo-doo)
The heaven in my heart leaped into your eyes

Remember how much I cried

Tears of joy to think you were mine
Darling, down deep inside
I still feel that feeling divine

I loved you then (dah-doot-doo-doo) and I still do (dah-doot-doo-doo)

I can't remember when I didn't love you

Remember how much I cried

Tears of joy to think you were mine
Darling, down deep inside
I still feel that feeling divine

I loved you then and I still do

I can't remember when I didn't love you

Reminiscing
The Little River Band
(Graham Goble)

Friday night, it was late, I was walking you home

We got down to the gate and I was dreaming of the night
Would it turn out right
How to tell you girl
I wanna build my world around you
Tell you that it's true
I wanna make you understand I'm talkin' about a lifetime plan

That's the way it began, we were hand in hand

Glenn Miller's Band was better than before
We yelled and screamed for more
And the Porter tunes (Night and Day)
Made us dance across the room
It ended all too soon
And on the way back home I promised you'd never be alone

Hurry, don't be late, I can hardly wait

I said to myself when we're old
We'll go dancing in the dark
Walking through the park and reminiscing

(Instrumental break)

Friday night, it was late, I was walking you home

We got down to the gate and I was dreaming of the night
Would it turn out right
Now as the years roll on
Each time we hear our favorite song
The memories come along
Older times we're missing
Spending the hours reminiscing

Hurry, don't be late, I can hardly wait

I said to myself when we're old
We'll go dancing in the dark
Walking through the park and reminiscing

A Rendezvous With A Dream

Johnny Green

When the moon begins to beam

I'll have a rendezvous, a rendezvous with a dream
Down beside a rippling stream
My heart will lead me to a rendezvous with a dream
Then you will say that you love me and hold me so tight
But like the stars up above me
You'll fade away in the night.
But when at last my dreams come true
I'll have a rendezvous, a rendezvous with you.

Styx/Michael Martin Murphey

Oh mama I'm in fear for my life

From the long arm of the law
Lawman has put an end to my running
And I'm so far from my home
Oh mama I can hear you a crying
You're so scared and all alone
Hangman is coming down from the gallows
And I don't have very long

This jig is up the news is out

They've finally found me
The renegade who had it made
Retrieved for a bounty
Never more to go astray
This will be the end today of the wanted man

Oh mama I've been years on the lamb

And had a high price on my head
Lawman said get him dead or alive
Now it's for sure he'll see me dead
Dear mama I can hear you a crying
You're so scared and all alone
Hangman is coming down from the gallows
And I don't have very long

This jig is up the news is out

They've finally found me
The renegade who had it made
Retrieved for a bounty
Never more to go astray
The judge will have revenge today
On the wanted man

Rescue Me
Madonna

I'm talking, I'm talking

I believe in the power of love
I'm singing, I'm singing
I believe that you can rescue me

With you I'm not a little girl

With you I'm not a man
When all the hurt inside of me
Comes out, you understand
You see that I'm ferocious
You see that I am weak
You see that I am silly
And pretensious and a freak
But I don't feel too strange for you
Don't know exactly what you do
I think when love is pure you try
To understand the reasons why
And I prefer this mystery
It cancels out my misery
And gives me hope that there could be
A person that loves me

Rescue me
Your love has given me hope
Rescue me I'm drowning
Baby throw out your rope

With you I'm not a fascist

Can't play you like a toy
And when I need to dominate
You're not my little boy
You see that I am hungry
For a life of understanding
And you forgive my angry little heart
When she's demanding
You bring me to my knees
While I'm scratching out the eyes
Of a world I want to conquer
And deliver and despise
And right while I am standing there
I suddenly begin to care
And understand that there could be
A person that loves me

Rescue me
Your love has given me hope
Rescue me I'm drowning
Baby throw out your rope

Love is understanding
- It's hard to believe
Life can be so demanding
I'm sending out an S.O.S.
Stop me from drowning
Baby I'll do the rest

Rescue me

take the sheet off your face, boy, it's a brand new day
respect yourself, respect yourself
if you don't respect yourself
ain't nobody gonna give a good cahoot, na na na na
respect yourself, respect yourself
if you're walking 'round think'n that the world owes you something cause
you're here you goin' out the world backwards like you did when you
first come here keep talkin' bout the president, won't stop evolution
put your hand on your mouth when you cough, that'll help the solution
oh, you cuss around women and you don't even know their names and you
dumb enough to think that'll make you a big ol man

RESPECTABLE
THE OUTSIDERS

What kind of girl is this?

She's never ever been kissed.
Rubbidy rub dub dub,
she's never ever been in love.
She's never been in the moonlight
Watchin' the stars above.
What kind of girl is this?
She's never been out on a date.
What kind of girl is this?
She's never ever come home late.
but I begged her on my knees to please go out with me.
And she did.
Did ya love her? (No, no, no, no!)
Did ya hug her? (No, no no no no!)
Did ya kiss her? (No, no, no, no!)
Did ya squeeze her? (No, no no no no!)
What kind of girl is htis?
She's never ever been kissed.
What kind of girl is this?
Let me tell you,
She's the kind you can't resist.
But I lover her, can't you see?
She's the kind of girl for me.
She's so respectable! (repeat and fade)

Rest Your Love On Me

Bee Gees

Maybe you don't know me anymore then I know you

And I wouldn't blame you if you walked away
I been watchin' you all evenin' with the teardrops in your eyes
And it touches me much more then I can say
You know I'd hate to think that someone
could have hurt someone like you
And if I was him , I'd be right by your side

Lay your troubles on my shoulders

Put your worries in my pocket
Rest your love on me awhile
Lay your troubles on my shoulder
Put your worries in my pocket
Rest your love on me awhile

Saw you in the corner on the moment I walked in

Saw your lonely face across the room
No, I won't forget it
And the way it might have been
Why did you have to leave so soon
You know I'd hate to think that someone
could have loved you more than me
And at times like this I'd be right by your side

How long must I wait for the last train to be here

And the last chance to know
Get to think that I was born too soon
How long honey, when the lovin' don't come
I was there when you left me
Just didn't know how to begin

Return Of The Mack

Mark Morrison
Album: Return Of The Mack

Oh, oo-o-oh, come on, ooh, yeah

Well I tried to tell you so (yes, I did)
But I guess you didn't know, as I said the story goes
Baby, now I got the flow
'Cos I knew it from the start
Baby, when you broke my heart
That I had to come again, and show you that I'm real

(You lied to me) all those times I said that I love you
(You lied to me) yes, I tried, yes, I tried
(You lied to me) even though you know I'd die for you
(You lied to me) yes, I cried, yes, I cried

1-(Return of the Mack) it is

(Return of the Mack) come on
(Return of the Mack) oh my God
(You know that I'll be back) here I am
(Return of the Mack) once again
(Return of the Mack) pump up the world
(Return of the Mack) watch my flow
(You know that I'll be back) here I go

So I'm back up in the game

Running things to keep my swing
Letting all the people know
That I'm back to run the show
'Cos what you did, you know, was wrong
And all the nasty things you've done
So, baby, listen carefully
While I sing my come-back song

2-(You lied to me) 'cos she said she'd never turn on me

(You lied to me) but you did, but you do
(You lied to me) all these pains you said I'd never feel
(You lied to me) but I do, but I do, do, do

(Return of the Mack) here it is

(Return of the Mack) hold on
(Return of the Mack) don't you know
(You know that I'll be back) here I go
(Return of the Mack) oh little girl
(Return of the Mack) wants my pearl
(Return of the Mack) up and down
(You know that I'll be back) round and round
(rpt 2, 1)

(You know that I'll be back) don't you know

(Return of the Mack) here it is

(Return of the Mack) hold on
(Return of the Mack) be strong
(You know that I'll be back) here I go
(Return of the Mack) my little girl
(Return of the Mack) wants my pearl
(Return of the Mack) up and down
(You know that I'll be back) round and round

THE RETURN OF THE RED BARON

Royal Guardsmen

(plane crash, laughing and "Der curse little klinehund Snoopy")

You remember that baron flying high in the sky
When Snoopy shot him down with a gleam in his eye
But that baron had leaped from his blood-red plane
Just before it burst into a ball of flame
Snoopy circled back to check his kill
Saw the bloody red baron standing high on a hill
Then he swooped down low
Shouted "Curse you red baron!"
The German shook his fist you could hear him swear "Ach der lieber!"
Hey watch out little Snoopy
You're really in a mess
You thought you were through with the bloody red baron
But it looks like he's not down yet
Then a cry went up all over the land
The bloody red baron would strike again
But brave little Snoopy said "Never fear"
As he headed for his plane all the people cheered (Yeeaaaahhhh!)
Hey watch out little Snoopy
You're really in a mess
You thought you were through with the bloody red baron
But it looks like he's not down yet
Snoopy blazed a trail straight across the sea
Searching in vain for his enemy
Then he found that German trying to fix his plane
A-sweatin' and a-cussin' about to go insane
Take it:
INSTRUMENTAL INTERLUDE
Snoopy landed for a pistol duel
The baron was worried
Snoopy was cool
He fired a shot and missed
Started to run
Before Snoopy had a chance to raise his gun
Hey watch out red baron
Snoopy is on your trail
One of these days he's gonna make you pay
And you'll go straight to-
Well watch out red baron
Snoopy is on your trail
One of these days he's gonna make you pay
And you'll go straight to-
Well watch out red baron...(fade)

Don't give up and use the chance
To return to innocence.

Return to Sender
Elvis Presley
(words & music by Otis Blackwell - Winfield Scott)

I gave a letter to the postman,

he put it his sack.
But in early next morning,
he brought my letter back.
She wrote upon it:
Return to sender, address unknown.
No such number, no such zone.
We had a quarrel, a lover's spat
I write I'm sorry but my letter keeps coming back.
So then I dropped it in the mailbox
And sent it special D.
But in early next morning
it came right back to me.
She wrote upon it:
Return to sender, address unknown.
No such number, no such zone.
This time I'm gonna take it myself
and put it right in her hand.
And if it comes back the very next day
then I'll understand the writing on it
Return to sender, address unknown.
No such person, no such zone.

HERB
I was a fool to ever leave your side
Me minus you is such a lonely ride
The breakup we had has made me lonesome and sad
I realize I love you 'cause I want you bad, hey, hey

PEACHES
I spent the ev'ning with the radio
Regret the moment that I let you go
Our quarrel was such a way of learnin' so much
I know now that I love you 'cause I need your touch, hey, hey

CHORUS: BOTH
Reunited and it feels so good
Reunited 'cause we understood
There's one perfect fit
And, sugar, this one is it
We both are so excited 'cause we're reunited, hey, hey

<brief instrumental interlude>

PEACHES
I sat here starin' at the same old wall
Came back to life just when I got your call
I wished I could climb right through the telephone line
And give you what you want so you will still be mine, hey, hey

HERB
I can't go cheatin', honey, I can't play
I found it very hard to stay away
As we reminisce on precious moments like this
I'm glad we're back together 'cause I missed your kiss, hey, hey

CHORUS: BOTH

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Ba-a-a-by

<voices alternate starting with HERB>

Lover, lover, this is solid love

And you're exactly what I'm dreamin' of
All through the day
And all through the night
BOTH: I'll give you all the love I have with all my might, hey, hey

You keep looking at me while you dance in another's arms

And you pretend to be so enchanted with all his charms
Revenge, revenge, is that all you want?
Well, you've had your revenge, now come back to my arms

You keep telling your friends only heartaches I gave to you

And you hope in the end that my heart will be crying, too
Revenge, revenge, is that all you want?
Well, you've had your revenge, now come back to my arms

Maybe you want me to get down on my knees to you

Well, I'll do it gladly, darling, if that's what pleases you

Ya got to tell me now, you'll get all of a brand-new start

For you've had your delight with just tearing my heart apart
Revenge, revenge, is that all you want?
Well, you've had your revenge, now come on back to my arms

Revenge, revenge, is that all you want?

Well, you've had your revenge, now come back to my arms

I wait in revenge, revenge

Now is that all you want?

Reverend Mr. Black

Artists: The Kingston Trio (peak Billboard position # 8 in 1963)

Words and Music by Billy Edd Wheeler, Jed Peters, Jerry Lieber, and Mike Stoller

He rode easy in the saddle, he was tall and lean

And at first ya thought nothin but a streak of mean
Could make a man look so downright strong
But one look in his eyes and ya knowed ya was wrong
He was a mountain of a man and I want ya to know
He could preach hot hell in the freezin snow
He carried a bible in a canvas sack
The folks just called him the Reverend Mr. Black
He was poor as a beggar but he rode like a king
And sometimes in the evenin I could hear him sing

I got to walk that lonesome valley

I got to walk it by myself
for nobody else can walk it for me
I got to walk it by myself.

If ever I could have thought this man in black

Was soft , had any yellow up his back
I gave that notion up the day
A lumberjack came in and a-wasnt a-prayin
Yeah, he kicked open the meetinhouse door
And he cussed everybody up and down the floor
And then when things got quiet in the place
He walked up and cussed in the preachers face.
He hit that reverend like the kick of a mule
And to my way of thinkin it took a pure fool
To turn the other cheek to that lumberjack
But thats what he did, the Reverend Mr. Black.
He stood like a rock, a man among men
Then he let that lumberjack hit him again
And then with a voice as kind as could be
He cut him down like a big oak tree when he said

You got to walk that lonesome valley

You got to walk it by yourself
for nobody else can walk it for you
You got to walk it by yourself.

Its been many years since we had to part

And I guess I learned his ways by heart
I can still hear his sermons ring down in the valley where he used to sing
I followed him, yes sir, and I dont regret it
Hope that Ill always be a credit to his memory
cause I want ya to understand
The Reverend Mr. Black was my old man

You got to walk that lonesome valley

You got to walk it by yourself
for nobody else can walk it for you
You got to walk it by yourself.

You got to walk that lonesome valley

FADE: You got to walk it by yourself
for nobody

We'd all love to see the plan

But when you want money

All I can tell is brother you have to wait
Don't you know it's gonna be all right

You say you'll change the constitution

THE RACE IS ON
George Jones
Written by Don Rollins

[NC] I feel tears wellin' up cold and deep inside

Like my [D] heart's sprung a big [A] break
And a stab of loneliness sharp and painful
[E] That I may never shake
You might [A] say that I was taking it hard
Oh, she [D] wrote me off with a [A] call
But don't you wager that I'll hide the sorrow
When I may [E] break right down and [A] bawl?

[NC] Well, the race is [A] on and here comes Pride up the backstretch
[D] Heartaches are going to the in-[A] side
My Tears are holding back
They're tryin' [E] not to fall
[A] My Heart's out of the running
True Love's [D] scratched for another's [A] sake
The race is on and it looks like Heartaches
And the [E] winner loses [A] all.

One day I ventured in love, never once suspectin'

What the final result would be
How I lived in fear of waking up each morning
And thinkin' that you're gone from me
There's ache and pain in my heart
For today was the one that I hated to face
Somebody new came up to win her
I came out in second place.

RADAR LOVE
GOLDEN EARRING

I've been drivin' all night, my hand's wet on the wheel

There's a voice in my head that drives my heel
It's my baby callin', says I need you here
And it's a half past four and I'm shiftin' gear
When she is lonely and the longing gets too much
She sends a cable comin' in from above
Don't need no phone at all
We've got a thing that's called Radar Love
We've got a wave in the air, Radar Love
The radio is playing some forgotten song
Brenda Lee's comin' on strong
The road has got me hypnotized
And I'm speedin' into a new sunrise
When I get lonely and I'm sure I've had enough
She sents her comfort comin' in from above
We don't need no letter at all
We've got a thing that's called Radar Love
We've got a light in the sky
(Instrumental break)
No more speed, I'm almost there
Gotta keep cool now, gotta take care
Last car to pass, here I go
And the line of cars drove down real slow
And the radio played that forgotten song
Brenda Lee's comin' on strong
And the newsman sang his same song
Oh one more radar lover gone
When I get lonely and I'm sure I've had enough
She sents her comfort comin' in from above
We don't need no letter at all
We've got a thing that's called Radar Love
We've got a light in the sky
We've got a thing that's called Radar Love
We've got a thing that's called Radar Love

I'd sit alone and watch your light

My only friend through teenage nights
And everything I had to know
I heard it on my radio
Radio.

You gave them all those old time stars

Through wars of worlds - invaded by Mars
You made 'em laugh - you made 'em cry
You made us feel like we could fly.

So don't become some background noise

A backdrop for the girls and boys
Who just don't know or just don't care
And just complain when you're not there
You had your time, you had the power
You've yet to have your finest hour
Radio.

All we hear is Radio ga ga

Radio goo goo
Radio ga ga
All we hear is Radio ga ga
Radio blah blah
Radio waht's new?
Radio, someone still loves you!

We watch the shows - we watch the stars

On videos for hour and hours
We hardly need to use our ears
How music changes through the years.

Let's hope you never leave old friend

Like all good things on you we depend
So stick around cos we might miss you
When we grow tired of all this visual
You had your time, you had the power
You've yet to have your finest hour
Radio.

The DJ knows my voice now
he even knows my choice now
he never says my name
he just says "From the one
who loves you baby"

Chorus

One night you'll hear a song

And then you'll know just who it's from

(Rap) I see you baby, every single day

Holding on to my best friend
But you don't see me
I wonder if you're listening
to the words that keep me wishing
that one day I'll be kissing you
Wo wo wo

(Hand-me-down) They always laughed at her when she came into town
Called her rag doll, little rag doll
Such a pretty face should be dressed in lace

Ooh, oo-oo-oo-ooh (Ooh-oo-ooh)

Ooh-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-ooh

(Sad rag doll) I'd change her sad rags into glad rags if I could
(If I could) My folks won't let me 'cause they say that she's no good
She's a rag doll, such a rag doll
Though I love her so, I can't let her know

Ooh, oo-oo-oo-ooh (Ooh-oo-ooh)

Ahh, ah-ah-ah-ahh (Rag doll, ooh)

RAG DOLL
Aerosmith
Permanent Vacation
Written by: Tyler/Perry/Vallance/Knight

Rag doll, livin' in a movie

Hot tramp, Daddy's little cutie
So fine, they'll never see ya
Leavin' by the back door, man

Hot time, get it while it's easy

Don't mind, come on up and see me
Rag doll, baby won't you do me
Like you done before

I'm feelin' like a bad boy

MMM just a like a bad boy
I'm rippin' up a rag doll
Like throwin' away an old toy
Some babe's talkin' real loud
Talking all about the new crowd
Try and sell me on a old dream
A new version of the old scene
Speak easy on the grape vine
Keep shufflin' in the shoe shine
Old tin lizzy do it 'til you're dizzy
Give it all ya got until you're put out of your misery

Yes, I'm movin', Yes, I'm movin'

Get ready for the big time
Tap dancing on a land mine
Yes, I'm movin', I'm really movin'
Old tin lizzy

Yes, I'm movin', Yes, I'm movin'

Get ready for the big time
Get crazy on the moonshine
Yes, I"m movin', I'm really movin'

SLoe gin fizzy

Do it 'til you're dizzy
Give it all you got until you're put out of your misery

RAGAMUFFIN MAN
Manfred Mann

Born & raised as a rich man's son

You were always the restless one
Living high only made you low
So you packed up & hit the road

CHORUS:
Hey, it's the Ragamuffin Man
Life was so grand, you used to stand
Holdin' your head up high
Look at you now, I wonder how
You can be satisfied

Stowed a ride on a westbound train

Called yourself by another name
Spent your nights in a mission home
Cast away the life that you'd known

(chorus)

As you rise in the mornin' rain

Take a look down that road again
Does the thought ever grab your mind
For the life that you've left behind?

(chorus)

Hey, it's the Ragamuffin Man

Ahhhhh, la la la la la la la
Hey, it's the Ragamuffin Man

Rags To Riches
Tony Bennett
Written by Richard Adler and Jerry Ross

Charted at # 1 in 1953
Later charted by Sunny and the Sunliners at # 45 in 1963
Later charted by Elvis Presley at # 33 in 1971

I know I'd go from rags to riches

If you would only say you care
And though my pocket may be empty
I'd be a millionaire

My clothes may still be torn and tattered

But in my heart I'd be a king
Your love is all that ever mattered
It's everything

So open your arms and you'll open the door

To ev'ry treasure that I'm hopin' for
Hold me and kiss me and tell me you're mine ever more

Must I forever be a beggar

Whose golden dreams will not come true?
Or will I go from rags to riches?
My fate is up to you

RAGTIME COWBOY JOE

(Grant Clarke, Lewis Muir and Maurice Abrahams)

Out in Arizona where the bad men are,

And the only friend to guide you is an Evening Star,
The roughest, toughest man by far
Is Ragtime Cowboy Joe.
Got his name from singing to the cows and sheep
Every night they say he sings the herd to sleep
In a basso rich and deep,
Crooning soft and low

cho: How he sings raggy music to his cattle

As he swings back and forward in his saddle
On his horse (a pretty good horse)
Who is syncopated gaited
And with such a funny meter
To the roar of his repeater

How they run when they hear the feller's gun

Because the western folks all know:
He's a hifalootin' scootin', shootin'
Son-of-a-gun from Arizona
Ragtime cowboy (talk about your cowboy)
Ragtime cowboy Joe.

Dressed up ev'ry Sunday in his Sunday clothes

He beats it for the village where he always goes,
And ev'ry girl in town is Joe's
'Cause he's a ragtime bear;
When he starts a-spieling on the dance hall floor,
No one but a lunatic would start a war
Wise men know his forty-four
Makes men dance for fair.

Note: Written in 1912; revived in 1943 in an Alis Faye movie "Hello,

Frisco, Hello" and by Betty Hutton, 1945, in "Incendiary Blonde." The
folk seem to have followed their usual practice of remembering the
chorus and forgetting the verse. Grant Clarke, who wrote the words,
is also responsible for "Second Hand Rose", among others. RG

they run and hide their heads
They might as well be dead
If the rain comes

When the sun shines

they slip into the shade
and sip their lemonade
When the sun shines

Rain, I don't mind

Shine, the weather's fine

I can show you

that when it starts to rain
everything's the same
I can show you

Rain
Feel it on my finger tips, hear it on my window pane
Your love's coming down like
Rain
Wash away my sorrow, take away my pain
Your love's coming down like
Rain

When your lips are burning mine

And you take the time to tell me how you feel
When you listen to my words
And I know you've heard, I know it's real
Rain is what this thunder brings
For the first time I can hear my heart sing
Call me a fool but I know I'm not
I'm gonna stand out here on the mountain top
Till I feel your

Rain
Feel it on my finger tips, hear it on my window pane
Your love's coming down like
Rain
Wash away my sorrow, take away my pain
Your love's coming down like
Rain

When you looked into my eyes, and you said goodbye

Could you see my tears
When I turned the other way
Did you hear me say
I'd wait for all the dark clouds bursting in a perfect sky
You promised me when you said goodbye
That you'd return when the storm was done
And now I'll wait for the light, I'll wait for the sun
Till I feel your

Rain
Feel it on my finger tips, hear it on my window pane
Your love's coming down like
Rain
Wash away my sorrow, take away my pain
Your love's coming down like
Rain

Here comes the sun... here comes the sun

And I say... never go away

Waiting is the hardest thing

[ It's strange I feel like I've known you before ]
I tell myself that if I believe in you
[ And I want to understand you ]
In the dream of you
[ More and more ]
With all my heart and all my soul

To love

Rain is what the thunder brings

For the first time I can hear my heart sing
Call me a fool but I know I'm not

CHORUS:
I saw you (and him) walking in the rain
You were holding hands and I'll never be the same.

Tossing and turning another sleepless night

The rain crashes against my window pane
Jumped into my car didn't drive too far
That moment I knew I would never be the same.

Now here you are begging to me

To give our love another try
Girl I love you and I always will
But darling right now I've got to say goodbye

(I saw you)
Hey hey baby how ya doin' come on in here
(Walking in the rain)
Got some hot chocolate on the stove waiting for you
Listen first things first let me hang up the coat
(You were holding hands and I'll)
Yeah how was your day today
Did you miss me
(Never be the same)
You did? Yeah? I missed you too
I missed you so much I followed you today
(I saw you)
That's right now close your mouth
'Cause you cold busted
(Walking in the rain)
Now just sit down here, sit down here
I'm so upset with you I don't know what to do
(You were holding hands and I'll)
You know my first impulse was to run up on you
And do a Rambo
(Never be the same)
I was about to jam you and flat blast both of you
But I didn't wanna mess up this thirt-seven hundred dollar lynx coat
So instead I chilled -- That's right chilled
I called up the bank and took out every dime.
Than I cancelled all your credit cards...
I stuck you up for every piece of jewelery I ever bought you!
Don't go lookin' in that closet 'cause everything you came here with is
packed up and waiting for you in the guest room. What were you
thinking?
You don't mess with the Juice!
I gave you silk suits, blue diamonds and gucci handbags.
I gave you things you couldn't even pronounce!
But now I can't give you nothing but advice.
Cause you're still young, yeah, you're young.
And you're gonna find somebody like me one of these days . . .

Rain On The Scarecrow

John Cougar Mellencamp

Scarecrow on a wooden cross Blackbird in the barn

Four hundred empty acres that used to be my farm
I grew up like my daddy did My grandpa cleared this land
When I was five I walked the fence while grandpa held my hand
Rain on the scarecrow Blood on the plow
This land fed a nation This land made me proud
And Son I'm just sorry there's no legacy for you now
Rain on the scarecrow Blood on the plow
Rain on the scarecrow Blood on the plow
The crops we grew last summer weren't enough to pay the loans
Couldn't buy the seed to plant this spring and the Farmers Bank foreclosed
Called my old friend Schepman up to auction off the land
He said John it's just my job and I hope you understand
Hey calling it your job ol' hoss sure don't make it right
But if you want me to I'll say a prayer for your soul tonight
And grandma's on the front porch swing with a Bible in her hand
Sometimes I hear her singing "Take me to the Promised Land"
When you take away a man's dignity he can't work his fields and cows
There'll be blood on the scarecrow Blood on the plow
Blood on the scarecrow Blood on the plow
Well there's ninety-seven crosses planted in the courthouse yard
Ninety-seven families who lost ninety-seven farms
I think about my grandpa and my neighbors and my name
And some nights I feel like dyin' Like that scarecrow in the rain
Rain on the scarecrow Blood on the plow
This land fed a nation This land made me proud
And Son I'm just sorry they're just memories for you now
Rain on the scarecrow Blood on the plow
Rain on the scarecrow Blood on the plow
Rain on the scarecrow Blood on the plow
This land fed a nation This land made me proud
And Son I'm just sorry they're just memories for you now
Rain on the scarecrow Blood on the plow

Rain, rain, rain

Rain, rain, rain
Rain, rain, rain, rain

Well, didn't it rain children

God's gonna send new orders from Zion
He's good raise his heaven up higher
It's gonna rain

Well stop! Great God, stop still and listen

My God walked down by the briny sea
Beheld the evil of the sinful Man
Declared that he would destroy the land

He spoke to Noah, Noah stopped

He said, Noah I want you to build an ark
And I want you to build it big and strong
Build it three hundred cubits along
Thirty high and fifty wide
Cause it's got to stand that rain and tide

Well, rain children

God's gonna send new orders from Zion
He's good raise his heaven up higher
It's gonna rain

Well, after God told him what to do

Noah began to cut and hew
The ringing of the saw cried "Judgement"
The ringing of the hammer cried "Sinner repent"

A hundred years he hammered and sawed

Building the Ark by the Grace of God
After the foundation was laid
He hewed the timber and the Ark was made

Lord, let it rain

Behold the Ark is made

Well he called in the animals two by two

The ox, the camel, and the kangaroo
Well they called in Japeth, Ham and Shem
And God began to flood the land

He raised his hands to heaven on high

He knocked the sun, the moon from the sky
Shook the mountains around the sea
And he hitched his reins to the chariot wheel
Stepped on the land and stood on the shore
And declared that time would be no more

Rain, rain, rain

Rain, rain, rain
Oh, Noah, Noah, didn't it rain
Rain, rain, rain
Rain, rain, rain
Rain, rain, rain, rain

My Lord had to wait until the float and the Ark did rock
And Noah couldn't find nowhere to dock

My God spoke and he whispered low

Showed old Noah where he wanted him to go

He said, "Lookit here, Noah, the rain's done stopped

And I want you to land on the mountaintop"
He showed old Noah a rainbow sign
Said it won't be a rain but fire next time

Rain, rain, rain

Rain, rain, rain
Oh, Noah, Noah, didn't it rain
Rain, rain, rain
Rain, rain, rain
Oh, Noah, Noah, didn't it rain

THE RAIN, THE PARK, AND OTHER THINGS

The Cowsills

I saw her sitting in the rain,

raindrops falling on her.
She didn't seem to care.
She sat there and smiled at me.

And I knew (I knew, I knew, I knew, I knew)

she could make me happy (happy, happy).
Flowers in her hair, flowers everywhere.

I love the flower girl, oh, I don't know just why.

She simply caught my eye.
I love the flower girl, she seemed so sweet and kind.
She crept into my mind.

Suddenly the sun broke through (see the sun).

I turned around she was gone (where did she go).
And all I had left was one little flower from her hair.

But I knew (I knew, I knew, I knew, I knew)

she had made me happy (happy, happy).
Flowers in her hair, flowers everywhere.

Rainbow, rainbow, rainbow

CHORUS:

I'm saving my money to buy you a rainbow

A rainbow, to put on your finger
And after I've gone and bought you the rainbow
I'll go out and I'll buy you the moon

When we go walking side by side in the moonlight

We count the stars as we go strolling by
Maybe someday we'll own those beautiful diamonds
That glisten like the teardrops from your eyes

You know how I feel on a moment like this

When hand in hand when we reminisce
Your eyes seem to glow when you whisper low
I really love you

CHORUS

And after I've gone and bought you the rainbow

I'll go out and I'll buy you the moon
I'll go out and I'll buy you the moon

RAINBOW CONNECTION
Kermit the Frog

Why are there so many

Songs about rainbows
And what's on the other side
Rainbow's are visions
They're only illusions
And rainbows have nothing to hide
So we've been told and some chose to
Believe it
But I know they're wrong wait and see

Someday we'll find it

The Rainbow Connection
The lovers, the dreamers and me

Who said that every wish

Would be heard and answered
When wished on the morning star
Somebody thought of that
And someone believed it
And look what it's done so far
What's so amazing
That keeps us star gazing
What so we think we might see

Someday we'll find it

That Rainbow Connection
The lovers the dreamers and me

Have you been half asleep

And have you heard voices
I've heard them calling my name
Are these the sweet sounds that called
The young sailors
I think they're one and the same
I've heard it too many times to ignore it
There's something that I'm supposed to be

Someday we'll find it

The Rainbow Connection
The lovers, the dreamers and me

Raindrops

-Artist: Dee Clark

-peak Billboard position # 2 in 1961
-Words and Music by Dee Clark

<sound of thunder>

The raindrops, so many raindrops

It feels like rai-aindrops
Falling from my eye-eyes
Falling from my eyes

Since my love has left me

I'm so all alone
I would bring her back to me
But I don't know where she's go-o-o-ne
I don't know where she's gone

There must be a cloud in my hea-ea-ea-ead

Rain keeps falling from my eye-eyes
Oh no they can't be teardrops
For a man ain't supposed to cry

So it must be rai-aindrops, so many raindrops

It feels like raindrops
Falling from my eye-eyes
Falling from my eyes

<instrumental interlude>

Oh, there must be a cloud in my hea-ea-ea-ead

Rain keeps falling from my eye-eyes
Oh no they can't be teardrops
For a man ain't supposed to cry

So it must be rai-aindrops, so many raindrops

It feels like raindrops
Falling from my eye-eyes
Falling from my eyes

It keeps on fallin'
<sound of thunder>
Fallin' from my eyes
<shrieking>

FADE

It keeps on fallin' from my eyes

RAINDROPS KEEP FALLIN' ON MY HEAD

- words by Hal David, music by Burt Bacharach
- from the movie "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid"
starring Paul Newman and Robert Redford
- won the Academy's Oscar for the Best Film Song of 1969
- lyrics as recorded by B.J. Thomas (#1 for 4 weeks in 1970)

Raindrops keep fallin' on my head

And just like the guy whose feet are too big for his bed
Nothin' seems to fit
Those raindrops are fallin' on my head, they keep fallin'

So I just did me some talkin' to the sun

And I said I didn't like the way he got things done
Sleepin' on the job
Those raindrops are fallin' on my head, they keep fallin'

But there's one thing I know

The blues they send to meet me won't defeat me
It won't be long till happiness steps up to greet me

Raindrops keep fallin' on my head

But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turnin' red
Cryin's not for me
'Cause I'm never gonna stop the rain by complainin'
Because I'm free
Nothin's worryin' me

------ trumpet ------

It won't be long till happiness steps up to greet me

Raindrops keep fallin' on my head

But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turnin' red
Cryin's not for me
'Cause I'm never gonna stop the rain by complainin'
Because I'm free
Nothin's worryin' me

Rainin' In My Heart
Slim Harpo
(Moore-West)

<HARMONICA LEAD-IN>

Rainin' in my heart
Since we've been apart
I know I was wrong
Baby please come home

You've got me crying

'Bout to lose my mind
Don't let me cry in vain
Try my love just once again

<INSTRUMENTAL INTERLUDE>

SPOKEN:
Honey, I need your love
Darling, you know why
If you would come back home
There'll be no need for me to cry

SUNG:
Rainin' in my heart
Since we've been apart
I know I was wrong
Baby please come home

Rainin' in my heart
Slim Harpo

The sun is out ,the sky is blue, ther's not a cloud

to spoil the view. But it's raining, raining in my heart.

The weatherman the man, says fine to day, he doesn't

know, it's gonna strain. But it's raining, raining in my heart.

Oh misery missery. What gonna become of me.

I tell my blue, they musen't show. But soon these tears,

are bound to flow, cause it's raining, raining in my heart.

Guitar:

cause it's raining, raining in my heart.

Guitar:

yes it's raining, raining in my heart.

Oh misery missery. What gonna become of me.

I tell my blue, they mousen't show. But soon these tears,

are bound to flow, cause it's raining, raining in my heart.

Rainy Day People

Gordon Lightfoot

Rainy day people always seem to know when its time to call.
Rainy day people dont talk
they just listen till theyve heard it all.
Rainy day lovers dont lie when they tell you
theyve been down like you.
Rainy day people dont mind if youre cryin a tear or two.

If you get lonely, all you really need is that rainy day love.
Rainy day people all know theres no sorrow
they cant rise above.
Rainy day lovers dont love any others
that would not be kind.
Rainy day people all know how it hangs
on their peace of mind.

(Lead break)

Rainy day lovers dont lie when they tell you

theyve been down there, too.
Rainy day people dont mind if youre cryin a tear or two.

Rainy day people always seem to know

when youre feelin blue
I steps and stutters around in the gutters
sometimes need one, too.
Take it or leave it or try to believe it,
f youve been down too long,
Rainy day lovers dont hide love inside, they just pass it on.

Rainy day lovers dont hide love inside, they just pass it on.

But I would not feel so all alone
F(D) Do7(Bo7) C7(A7) F(D)
Everybody must get stoned

Well, they'll stone you when you're at the breakfast table

They'll stone you when you are young and able
They'll stone you when you're riding in your car
And they'll stone you when you're playing your guitar
But I would not feel so all alone
Everybody must get stoned

Well, they'll stone you when you're walking on the street

They'll stone you when you're tryin' to keep your seat
They'll stone you when you're tryin' to make a buck
Then they'll stone you and then they'll say "good luck"
But I would not feel so all alone
Everybody must get stoned

Well, they'll stone you when you're at the breakfast table

They'll stone you when you are young and able
They'll stone you and they'll say that you are brave
They'll stone you when you're sent down in your grave
But I would not feel so all alone
Everybody must get stoned
Notes:
Original key is F. I've like to sing it in the key of D though
which accounts for the chords in parenthesis. Plus it makes the diminished
chords a little easier to play!

Rainy Days And Mondays

Carpenters

Talkin' to myself and feelin' old

Sometimes I'd like to quit
Nothing ever seems to fit
Hangin' around
Nothing to do but frown
Rainy Days and Mondays always get me down.

What I've got they used to call the blues

Nothin' is really wrong
Feelin' like I don't belong
Walkin' around
Some kind of lonely clown
Rainy Days and Mondays always get me down.

Funny but it seems I always wind up here

with you
Nice to know somebody loves me
Funny but it seems that it's the only thing to do
Run and find the one who loves me.

What I feel has come and gone before

No need to talk it out
We know what it's all about
Hangin' around
Nothing to do but frown
Rainy Days and Mondays always get me down.

Rainy Night in Georgia

- Artist: Brook Benton as sung on "The Satin Sound Brook Benton"

- Suffolk Marketing-SMI 2
- peak Billboard position # 4 in 1970
- Words and Music by Tony Joe White

Hoverin' by my suitcase, tryin' to find a warm place to spend the night

Heavy rain fallin', seems I hear your voice callin' "It's all right."
A rainy night in Georgia, a rainy night in Georgia
It seems like it's rainin' all over the world
I feel like it's rainin' all over the world

Neon signs a-flashin', taxi cabs and buses passin' through the night
A distant moanin' of a train seems to play a sad refrain to the night
A rainy night in Georgia, such a rainy night in Georgia
Lord, I believe it's rainin' all over the world
I feel like it's rainin' all over the world

How many times I wondered

It still comes out the same
No matter how you look at it or think of it
It's life and you just got to play the game

<instrumental interlude>

I find me a place in a box car, so I take my guitar to pass some time

Late at night when it's hard to rest I hold your picture to my chest and I feel fine
(minor scat) But it's a rainy night in Georgia, baby, it's a rainy night in Georgia I
feel it's rainin' all over the world, kinda lonely now And it's rainin' all over the
world

Oh, have you ever been lonely, people?

And you feel that it was rainin' all over this man's world
You're talking 'bout rainin', rainin', rainin', rainin', rainin', rainin', rainin',
rainin', rainin' rainin', rainin', rainin' <etc. to end>

Ramblin' Man
The Allman Brothers
by Forrest Richard Betts

[Chorus]
Lord, I was born a ramblin' man,
Tryin' to make a livin' and doin' the best I can.
And when it's time for leavin',
I hope you'll understand,
That I was born a ramblin' man.

Well my father was a gambler down in Georgia,

He wound up on the wrong end of a gun.
And I was born in the back seat of a Greyhound bus
Rollin' down highway 41.

CHORUS

I'm on my way to New Orleans this mornin',

Leaving out of Nashville, Tennessee,
They're always having a good time down on the bayou,
Lord, them Delta women think the world of me.

CHORUS

Hey girl, I betcha, there's someone out to get ya,

You'll find him anywhere, on a bus, in a bar, in a grocery store.
He'll say "excuse me, haven't I seen you somewhere before?"

Rap-a-rap-a-rap, they call him the Rapper.

Rap, rap, rap, know what he's after.

So he starts his rappin, hoping something will happen,

He'll say he needs you, a companion, a girl he can talk to,
He's made up his mind, he wants someone to sock it to.

(Chorus)

He's made an impression, so he makes a suggestion,

Come up to my place, for some coffee, or tea, or me.
He's got you where he wants you, girl you gotta face reality.

(Chorus)

Rap, rap, rap, call him the Rapper.

it was twelve o'clock one friday night
i was rockin to the beat and feelin all right

everybody was dancin on the floor

doin all the things they never did before
and then this fly fly girl with a sexy lean
she came into the bar, she came into the scene
she traveled deeper inside the room
all the fellas checked out her white sasoons
she came up to the table, looked into my eyes
then she turned around and shook her behind
so i said to myself, its time for me to release
my vicious rhyme i call my masterpiece

and now people in the house this is just for you

a little rap to make you boogaloo
now the group ya hear is called phase two
and let me tell ya somethin we're a helluva crew
once a week we're on the street
just to cut in the jams and look at your feet
for you to party ya got to have the movies
so we'll get right down and make ya rock
now the system's on and the girls are there
ya definitely have a rockin affair
but let me tell ya somethin there's still one fact
and to have a party ya got to have a rap
so when the party's over you're makin it home
and tryin to sleep before the break of dawn
and while ya sleepin ya start to dream
and thinkin how ya danced on the disco scene
my name appears in your mind
yeah, a name you know that was right on time
it was phase two just a doin a do

like collard greens that dont taste good
like a tree that's not made out of wood
like goin up and not comin down

and the chicken tastes like wood

so you try to play it off like you think you can
by sayin that youre full
and then your friend says momma he's just being polite
he aint finished uh uh that's bull
so your heart starts pumpin and you think of a lie
and you say that you already ate
and your friend says man there's plenty of food
so you pile some more on your plate
while the stinky foods steamin your mind starts to dreamin
of the moment that it's time to leave
and then you look at your plate and your chickens slowly rottin
into something that looks like cheese
oh so you say that's it i got to leave this place
i dont care what these people think
im just sittin here makin myself nauseous
with this ugly food that stinks
so you bust out the door while its still closed
still sick from the food you ate
and then you run to the store for quick relief
from a bottle of kaopectate
and then you call your friend two weeks later
to see how he has been
and he says i understand about the food
baby bubbah but we're still friends
with a hip hop the hippie to the hippie
the hip hip a hop a you dont stop the rockin
to the bang bang boogie
say up jump the boogie to the rhythm of the boogie the beat
i say hank can ya rock

can ya rock to the rhythm that just dont stop

can ya hip me to the shoobie doo
i said come on make the make the people move

i go to the halls and then ring the bell

because i am the man with the clientele
and if ya ask me why i rock so well
a big bang, i got clientele
and from the time i was only six years old
i never forgot what i was told
it was the best advice that i ever had
it came from my wise dear old dad
he said sit down punk i wanna talk to you
and dont say a word until im through
now there's a time to laugh a time to cry
a time to live and a time to die
a time to break and a time to chill
to act civilized or act real ill
but whatever ya do in your lifetime
ya never let a mc steal your rhyme
so from six to six til this very day
ill always remember what he had to say
so when the sucker mcs try to chump my style
i let them know that i'm versatile
i got style finesse and a little black book
that's filled with rhymes and i know you wanna look
but the thing that separates you from me

Rapture
Blondie

Toe to toe,
Dancing very slow,
Barely breathing,
Almost comatose.

Wall to wall,
People hypnotized,
And they're stepping,
Lightly,
Hang each night in
Rapture.

Back to back,
Sacrailiac,
Spinless movement,
And a wild attack.

Face to face,
Sadly solitude,
And it's finger
Popping.
Twenty-four hour shopping,
In Rapture.

Fab Five Freddy

Told me everything's fine,
DJ's spinnin'
I said in my mind.
Flash is flash, flash is cool,
Francois se pas,
Flashe' no do.
And ya don't stop,
Sure shot.
Go out to the parking lot,
And ya get in your car,
And ya drive real far,
And ya drive all night,
And then ya see a light,
And it comes right down
And lands on the ground,
And out comes a man from Mars.
And ya try to run,
But he's got a gun,
And he shoots ya dead,
And he eats your head,
And then you're in the man from Mars.
You go out at night, eatin' cars,
You eat Cadillacs, Lincolns too,
Mercurys and Subarus,
And ya don't stop,
You keep on eatin' cars.
Then, when there's no more cars,
You go out at night and eat up bars,
Where the people meet,
Face to face,
Dance cheek to cheek,
One to one,
Man to man.

Dance toe to toe,

Don't move to slow,
'Cause the man from Mars,
Is through with cars,
He's eatin' bars.
Yeah, wall to wall,
Door to door,
Hall to hall,
He's gonna eat 'em all,
Rapture.

Be pure,
Take a tour,
Through the sewer.
Don't strain your brain,
Paint a train,
You'll be singin' in the rain,
I said don't stop,
Do punk rock.

Well now you see,

What ya wanna be,
Just have your party on TV,
'Cause the man from Mars,
Won't eat up bars,
Where the TV's on.
And now he's gone back up to space,
Where he won't have a hassle with the human race,
And ya hip-hop,
And ya don't stop,
Just blast off,
Sure shot.
'Cause the man from Mars,
Stopped eatin' cars,
And eatin' bars,
And now he only eats guitars,
Get up!

Raspberry Beret
Prince

1 2 1 2 3

Yeah

I was working part time in a five-and-dime

My boss was Mr. McGee
He told me several times that he didn't like my kind
'Cause I was a bit 2 leisurely

Seems that I was busy doing something close 2 nothing

But different than the day before
That's when I saw her, Ooh, I saw her
She walked in through the out door, out door

She wore a
Raspberry beret
The kind U find in a second hand store
Raspberry beret
And if it was warm she wouldn't wear much more
Raspberry beret
I think I love her

Built like she was

She had the nerve 2 ask me
If I planned 2 do her any harm

So, look here

I put her on the back of my bike
And-a we went riding
Down by old man Johnson's farm

I said now, overcast days never turned me on

But something about the clouds and her mixed

She wasn't 2 bright

But I could tell when she kissed me
She knew how 2 get her kicks

She wore a
Raspberry beret
The kind U find in a second hand store
Raspberry beret
And if it was warm she wouldn't wear much more
Raspberry beret
I think I love her

The rain sounds so cool when it hits the barn roof

And the horses wonder who U are
Thunder drowns out what the lightning sees
U feel like a movie star

Listen
They say the first time ain't the greatest
But I tell ya
If I had the chance 2 do it all again

I wouldn't change a stroke

'Cause baby I'm the most
With a girl as fine as she was then

(Raspberry beret)
The kind U find (The kind U find)
The kind U find (In a second hand store)
Oh no no
(Raspberry beret)
(And if it was warm)
Where have all the raspberry women gone? (She wouldn't wear much more)
Yeah (Raspberry beret)

I think I... I think I... I think I love her

(Raspberry beret)
No No No
No No No (The kind U find)
(In a second hand store)

Tell me
Where have all the raspberry women gone? (And if it was warm she)
(Wouldn't wear much more)

RATS IN THE CELLAR

Aerosmith
(Tyler/Perry)

goin' under - rats are in the cellar

goin' under - skin is turnin' yella
nose is runny - losin' my connection
losin' money - gettin' no affection
New York City blues
east side, west side blues
throw me in the slam
catch me if you can
believe
that you're wearin', tearin' me apart *
safe complainin' - 'cause everything's rotten
go insanin' - and ain't a thing forgotten *
feelin' cozy - rats are in the cellar
cheeks're rosy - skin's turnin' yella
*** - lookin' rather lazy
see my body - pushin up a-daisies

A RAY OF HOPE
The Rascals
Written by Felix Cavaliere and Eddie Brigati

Most people got soul if they wanna try

Let love be your goal and let it fly
Cause it's easy to hate and to draw a line
But error is human forgiveness is divine

I know a lot of people who think like me

That this world can be a place that's filled with harmony
First there's a lot of things we've got to rearrange
Put an end to hate and lies
So peace can come and truth shall reign
As long as there is a ray of hope

Lord, I don't mind going out and doin' my work

Light up the way to brotherhood
Help us to make His dream understood

Sometimes the road gets a little bit rough

Your strength is all gone, you had enough
But there's people who win without making fists
Our world won't survive lest we think like this

I can't imagine any greater need

To treat each other as we'd like to be
It's a gas just knowing what is yet to come
Not unless we get together
Got to get together one by one

As long as there is a ray of hope

Lord, I don't mind goin out and doin my work
Light up the way to brotherhood
I got to keep on searchin, keep on searchin
Till I find out
Keep on searchin, keep on searchin
Till I find out
Keep on searchin, keep on searchin
Till I find out

Gonna take a little look way down inside

Gotta find out Lord, why I'm alive
We'll pray for a day when all men are free
And people can live like they're meant to be
Meanwhile it's all up to you and me
Start working together towards this dream

As long as there is a ray of hope

Lord, I don't mind goin out and doin my work
Light up the way to brotherhood
Help us to make His dream understood
As long as there is a ray of hope
I got to wait my turn till I can vote
As long as there is a ray of hope

Ray Of Light
MADONNA

verse:

Zephyr in the sky at night I wonder

Do my tears of mourning sink beneath the sun
She's got herself a universe gone quickly
For the call of thunder threatens everyone

chorus:

And I feel like I just got home

And I feel
And I feel like I just got home
And I feel

Faster than the speeding light she's flying

Trying to remember where it all began
She's got herself a little piece of heaven
Waiting for the time when Earth shall be as one

(chorus)

Quicker than a ray of light

Quicker than a ray of light
Quicker than a ray of light

(verse)

And I feel
Quicker than a ray of light
Then gone for
Someone else shall be there
Through the endless years

She's got herself a universe

She's got herself a universe
She's got herself a universe

And I feel
And I feel
And I feel like I just got home
And I feel

Quicker than a ray of light she's flying

Quicker than a ray of light I'm flying
