way home

A day in the life
I read the news today oh, boy About a lucky man who made the grade
And though the news was rather sad Well, i just had to laugh
I saw the photograph He blew his mind out in a car He didn't notice that the lights had changed
A crowd of people stood and stared They'd seen his face before
Nobody was really sure if he was from the house of lords
I saw a film today oh, boy The english army had just won the war
A crowd of people turned away But i just had to look Having read the book I love to turn you on.
Woke up, got out of bed Dragged a comb across my head Found my way downstairs and drank a cup
And looking up, i noticed i was late Found my coat and grabbed my hat Made the bus in seconds flat
Found my way upstairs and had a smoke Somebody spoke and i went into a dream
Ah…
4
I read the news today oh, boy Four thousand holes in blackburn, lancashire And though the holes were
rather small They had to count them all Now they know how many holes it takes to fill the albert hall
I'd love to turn you on
60’s medley
What would you think if i sang out of tune, Would you stand up and walk out on me.
Lend me your ears and i'll sing you a song, And i'll try not to sing out of key.
I get by with a little help from my friends, I get high with a little help from my friends,
Going to try with a little help from my friends.
I left a good job in the city Working for the man every night and day
And I never lost one minute of sleeping Worrying bout the way things might have been
Big wheel keep on turning Proud mary keep on burning
And were rolling, rolling Rolling on the river x2
And here's to you, Mrs. Robinson Jesus loves you more than you will know (Wo, wo, wo)
God bless you please, Mrs. Robinson Heaven holds a place for those who pray
(Hey, hey, hey...hey, hey, hey)
Desmond has a barrow in the market place Molly is the singer in a band
Desmond says to molly-girl i like your face And molly says this as she takes him by the hand.
Obladi oblada life goes on ahh Lala how the life goes on
Obladi oblada life goes on ahh Lala how the life goes on.
Desmond takes a trolly to the jewellers store Buys a twenty carat golden ring
Takes it back to molly waiting at the door And as he gives it to her she begins to sing.
I thought love was only true in fairy tales Meant for someone else but not for me.
Love was out to get me Thats the way it seemed. Disappointment haunted all my dreams.
Then I saw her face, now Im a believer Not a trace of doubt in my mind.
Im in love, Im a believer! I couldnt leave her if I tried.
hey, hey baby, I wanna know, if you'll be my girl
when I saw you walking down the street I said that's the kind of girl I'd like to meet
she's so pretty Lord, she's fine I'm gonna make her mine, all mine
When i get older losing my hair, Many years from now. Will you still be sending me a valentine
Birthday greetings bottle of wine. If i'd been out till quarter to three Would you lock the door,
Will you still need me, will you still feed me, When i'm sixty-four.
You'll be older too, And it you say the word, I could stay with you.
I could be handy, mending a fuse When your lights have gone. You can knit a sweater by the fireside
Sunday mornings go for a ride, Doing the garden, digging the weeds, Who could ask for more.
Will you still need me, will you still feed me, When i'm sixty-four.
Every summer we can rent a cottage, In the isle of wight, if it's not too dear We shall scrimp and save
Grandchildren on your knee Vera chuck & dave
Send me a postcard, drop me a line, Stating point of view Indicate precisely what you mean to say
Yours sincerely, wasting away Give me your answer, fill in a form Mine for evermore
Will you still need me, will you still feed me, When i'm sixty-four.

Grease
I solve my problems and I see the light We gotta plug and think, we gotta feed it right
There ain't no danger we can go to far We start believing now that we can be who we are
Grease is the word
They think our love is just a growing pain Why don't they understand, It's just a crying shame
Their lips are lying only real is real We start to find right now we got to be what we feel
Grease is the word is the word, is the word that you heard It's got groove it's got meaning
Grease is the time, is the place is the motion Grease is the way we are feeling
We take the pressure and we throw away Conventionality belongs to yesterday
There is a chance that we can make it so far We start believing now that we can be who we are
Grease is the word is the word, is the word that you heard It's got groove it's got meaning
Grease is the time, is the place is the motion Grease is the way we are feeling
This is the life of illusion Wrapped up in trouble laced with confusion What we doing here?
We take the pressure and we throw away Conventionality belongs to yesterday
There is a chance that we can make it so far We start believing now that we can be who we are
Grease is the word is the word, is the word that you heard It's got groove it's got meaning
Grease is the time, is the place is the motion Grease is the way we are feeling
Summer Nights
Summer lovin' had me a blast Summer lovin', happened so fast I met a girl crazy for me I met a boy,
cute as can be
Summer days driftin' away, To uh-oh those summer nights
Tell me more, tell me more, Did you get very far?
Tell me more, tell me more, Like, does he have a car?
She swam by me, she got a cramp He went by me, got my suit damp
I saved her life, she nearly drowned He showed off, splashing around
Summer sun, something's begun, But uh-oh those summer nights
Tell me more, tell me more,Was it love at first sight? Tell me more, tell me more, Did she put up a
fight? Took her bowlin' in the Arcade We went strollin', drank lemonade We had fun under the dock
we stayed up until ten o'clock
Summer fling don't mean a thing, But uh-oh those summer nights Tell me more, tell me more,
But you don't gotta brag Tell me more, tell me more, Cause he sounds like a drag
He got friendly, holdin' my hand Well she got playful, kicking up sand He was sweet, just turned
eighteen Well she was nice, you know what I mean
Summer heat, boy and girl meet, But uh-oh those summer nights Tell me more, tell me more,
6
How much dough did he spend? Tell me more, tell me more, Could she get me a friend?
It turned colder, that's where it ends So I told her we'd still be friends Then we made our true love
vow Wonder what she's doin' now
Summer dreams ripped at the seams, But oh, those summer nights
Hopelessly Devoted
Guess mine is not the first heart broken, my eyes are not the first to cry I'm not the first to know,
there's just no gettin' over you Hello, I'm just a fool who's willing to sit around
and wait for you But baby can't you see, there's nothin' else for me to do I'm hopelessly devoted to
you
But now there's nowhere to hide, since you pushed my love aside I'm not in my head, hopelessly
devoted to you Hopelessly devoted to you, hopelessly devoted to you
My head is saying "fool, forget him", my heart is saying "don't let go" Hold on to the end, that's what I
intend to do I'm hopelessly devoted to you
But now there's nowhere to hide, since you pushed my love aside I'm not in my head, hopelessly
devoted to you Hopelessly devoted to you,hopelessly devoted to you
You’re the One that I want
I’ve got chills, they're multiplyin', and I'm losin' control Cause the power you're supplyin', it's
electrifyin'
You better shape up, cause I need a man, and my heart is set on you
You better shape up, you better understand, to my heart I must be true Nothing left, nothing left for
me to do
Chorus:
You're the one that I want (you are the one I want), ooh ooh ooh, honey
The one that I want (you are the one I want), ooh ooh ooh, honey
The one that I want (you are the one I want), ooh ooh ooh, honey
The one I need (the one I need), oh yes indeed (yes indeed)
If you're filled with affection, You're too shy to convey Meditate my direction, see your way
I better shape up, cause you need a man I need a man,
Who can keep me satisfied I better shape up, if I'm gonna prove You better prove, that my fate is
justified Are you sure? Yes I'm sure down deep inside
Greased Lightning
Well this car is automatic, systematic, hydromatic Why, it could be Greased Lightnin'!
We'll get some overhead lifters and some four barrel quads, oh yeah
Keep talkin', whoah keep talkin'!
Fuel injection cut off and chrome plated rods, oh yeah I'll get her ready, I need to get her ready!
With a four-speed on the floor, they'll be waitin' at the door You know that ain't bad when we'll be
seein lots of fun Greased Lightnin'
(Chorus:)
Go, Greased Lightnin' You're burnin' up the quarter mile Greased Lightnin', go Greased Lightnin'
Go Greased Lightnin'
You're coasting through the heat lap trails Greased Lightnin', go Greased Lightnin'
You are supreme The chicks'll cream For Greased Lightnin' Go go go go go go go go
We'll get some purple pitched tail lights and thirty inch fins, oh yeah
A palomina dashboard and duel-muffler twins, oh yeah
7
With new boosters, plates and shocks I can get off my rocks
You know that I ain't braggin', she's a real hot wagon Greased Lightnin'
(Chorus x2)
Tears on my pillow
You don't remember me, but I remember you 't was not so long ago, you broke my heart in two
Tears on my pillow, pain in my heart, caused by you, you
If we could start anew, I wouldn't hesitate I'd gladly take you back, and tempt the hands of fate
Tears on my pillow, pain in my heart, caused by you, you, you, you, you
Love is not a gadget, love is not a toy When you find the one you love, he'll fill your heart with joy
If we could start anew, I wouldn't hesitate I'd gladly take you back, and tempt the hands of fate
Tears on my pillow, pain in my heart, caused by you, you No, no no no now, no, no no (You...)
Hotel California
On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair, Warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air
Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light, My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim, I had
to stop for the night
There she stood in the doorway; I heard the mission bell, And I was thinking to myself, this could be
heaven or this could be hell
Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way, There were voices down the corridor, I thought I
heard them say...
Welcome to the hotel california, Such a lovely place, Such a lovely face, Plenty of room at the hotel
california, Any time of year, you can find it here
Her mind is tiffany-twisted, she got the mercedes bends, She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys, that
she calls friends, How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat. Some dance to remember,
some dance to forget
So I called up the captain, please bring me my wine, He said, we havent had that spirit here since
nineteen sixty nine, And still those voices are calling from far away, Wake you up in the middle of the
night, Just to hear them say...
Welcome to the hotel california, Such a lovely place, Such a lovely face, They livin it up at the hotel
california, What a nice surprise, bring your alibis
Mirrors on the ceiling, The pink champagne on ice, And she said we are all just prisoners here, of our
own device, And in the masters chambers, They gathered for the feast, They stab it with their steely
knives, But they just cant kill the beast
Last thing I remember, I was Running for the door, I had to find the passage back To the place I was
before
relax, said the night man, We are programmed to receive. You can checkout any time you like, But you
can never leave!

Abba Medley
I've been cheated by you since I don't know when So I made up my mind, it must come to an end
Look at me now, will I ever learn I don't know how, but I suddenly lose control There's a fire within my
soul
Just one look and I can hear a bell ring One more look and I forget everything
Mamma mia, here I go again My my, how can I resist you
Mamma mia, does it show again My my, just how much I've missed you
Yes, I've been brokenhearted Blue since the day we parted Why, why did I ever let you go
Mamma mia, now I really know My my, I could never let you go
My, my, at Waterloo Napoleon did surrender Oh yeah, and I have met my destiny in quite a similar way
The history book on the shelf Is always repeating itself
Waterloo - I was defeated, you won the war
Waterloo - Promise to love you for ever more
Waterloo - Couldn't escape if I wanted to
Waterloo - Knowing my fate is to be with you
Wa, Wa, Wa, Wa,Waterloo - Finally facing my Waterloo
So how could I ever refuse I feel like I win when I lose
Waterloo - I was defeated, you won the war
Waterloo - Promise to love you for ever more
Waterloo - Couldn't escape if I wanted to
Waterloo - Knowing my fate is to be with you
Wa, Wa, Wa, Wa, Waterloo - Finally facing my Waterloo
There was something in the air that night The stars were bright, Fernando
They were shining there for you and me For liberty, Fernando
Though we never thought that we could lose There's no regret
If I had to do the same again I would, my friend, Fernando
Yes, if I had to do the same again I would, my friend, Fernando...
So I say Thank you for the music, the songs I'm singing Thanks for all the joy they're bringing
Who can live without it, I ask in all honesty What would life be? Without a song or a dance what are
we? So I say Thank you for the music, the songs I'm singing Thanks for all the joy they're bringing
Who can live without it, I ask in all honesty What would life be? Without a song or a dance what are
9
we? So I say Thank you for the music, for giving it to me.
Fly me to the moon
Fly me to the moon Let me sing among those stars Let me see what spring is like On jupiter and mars
In other words, hold my hand In other words, baby kiss me
Fill my heart with song Let me sing for ever more You are all I long for All I worship and adore
In other words, please be true In other words, I love you
Blueberry hill
I found my thrill ......on blueberry hill On blueberry hill ......when I found you
The moon stood still ......on blueberry hill And lingered until ......my dreams came true
The wind in the willow played.......loves sweet melody But all of those vows we made...... were never to be
Though were apart......youre part of me still For you were my thrill......on blueberry hill
Under the boardwalk
Oh, when the sun beats down and burns the tar up on the roof
And your shoes get so hot you wish your tired feet were fire-proof
Under the boardwalk, down by the sea, yeah On a blanket with my baby is where I'll be
(Under the boardwalk) out of the sun
(Under the boardwalk) we'll be havin' some fun
(Under the boardwalk) people walking above
(Under the boardwalk) we'll be faling in love
Under the board-walk (board-walk!)
From the park you hear the happy sound of a carousel you can almost taste the hot dogs and French
fries they sell Under the boardwalk, down by the sea On a blanket with my baby is where I'll be
That’ll be the day
Well, that'll be the day, when you say goodbye Yes, that'll be the day, when you make me cry
You say you're gonna leave, you know it's a lie 'Cause that'll be the day when I die
Well, you give me all your lovin' and your turtle dovin' All your hugs and kisses and your money too
Well, you know you love me baby Until you tell me, maybe That some day, well I'll be through
Well, that'll be the day, when you say goodbye Yes, that'll be the day, when you make me cry
You say you're gonna leave, you know it's a lie 'Cause that'll be the day when I die
Well, that'll be the day, when you say goodbye Yes, that'll be the day, when you make me cry
You say you're gonna leave, you know it's a lie 'Cause that'll be the day when I die
Well, when Cupid shot his dart He shot it at your heart So if we ever part and I leave you
You sit and hold me and you tell me boldly That some day, well I'll be blue
Well, that'll be the day……..
Well, that'll be the day, hoo-hoo….

I know that tween the both of us her heart we can steal Cupid help me if you will so...

And darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh now stand by me oh stand, won’t you stand, stand by me
If the sky that we look upon Should tumble and fall And the mountains should crumble to the sea
I won't cry, I won't cry, no I won't shed a tear Just as long as you stand, stand by me
And darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh now stand by me oh stand, won’t you stand, stand by me
Whenever you're in trouble won't you stand by me, oh now stand by me oh stand, won’t you stand,
stand by me
With a little help from my friends
What would you think if I sang out of tune? Would you stand up and walk out on me?
Lend me your ears and I’ll sing you a song And I’ll try not to sing out of key
Chorus
Oh I get by with a little help from my friends Mm I get high with a little help from my friends
Mm I’m gonna try with a little help from my friends
What do I do when my love is away? Does it worry you to be alone? How do I feel by the end of the
day? Are you sad because you’re on your own? Chorus
Would you believe in a love at first sight? Yes I’m certain that it happens all the time.
What do you see when you turn out the light? I can’t tell you but everything’s fine. Chorus
Do you need anybody? I need somebody to love Could it be anybody? I want somebody to love
11
Oh I get by with a little help from my friends Mm I’m gonna try with a little help from my friends
Mm I get high with a little help from my friends Yes I get by with a little help from my friends
With a little help from my friends.
Perfect day
Just a perfect day, Drink sangria in the park, And then later, when it gets dark, We go home.
Just a perfect day, Feed animals in the zoo Then later, a movie, too, And then home.
Oh its such a perfect day, Im glad I spent it with you. Oh such a perfect day, You just keep me
hanging on, You just keep me hanging on.
Just a perfect day, Problems all left alone, Weekenders on our own. Its such fun.
Just a perfect day, You made me forget myself. I thought I was someone else, Someone good.
Oh its such a perfect day, Im glad I spent it with you. Oh such a perfect day, You just keep me
hanging on, You just keep me hanging on.
(you’re going to reap, just what you sow X2)
Lean on me
Sometimes in our lives we all have pain We all have sorrow But if we are wise We know that there's
always tomorrow
Lean on me, when you're not strong And I'll be your friend I'll help you carry on For it won't be long
'Til I'm gonna need Somebody to lean on
Please swallow your pride If I have things you need to borrow For no one can fill those of your needs
That you don't let show
Lean on me…..
If there is a load you have to bear That you can't carry I'm right up the road I'll share your load
If you just call me
So just call on me brother, when you need a hand We all need somebody to lean on
I just might have a problem that you'd understand We all need somebody to lean on
Lean on me...
Can you feel the love tonight
I can see what's happening And they don't have a clue They'll fall in love and here's the bottom line
Our trio's down to two.
The sweet caress of twilight There's magic everywhere And with all this romantic atmosphere
Disaster's in the air
Can you feel the love tonight The peace the evening brings The world for once in perfect harmony
With all its living things
So many things to tell her But how to make her see The truth about my past, impossible She'd turn
away from me He's holding back, he's hiding But what, I can't decide Why won't he be the king I know
he is? The king I see inside?
12
Can you feel the love tonight……… x2
And if he feels the love tonight In the way I do It's enough for this restless wanderer Just to be with
you
Let it be
When I find myself in times of trouble, mother Mary comes to me, speaking words of wisdom, let it
be. And in my hour of darkness she is standing right in front of me, speaking words of wisdom, let it
be.
Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be. Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.
And when the broken hearted people living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.
For though they may be parted there is still a chance that they will see, there will be an answer. let it
be.
Let it be, let it be, .....
And when the night is cloudy, there is still a light ,that shines on me, shine until tomorrow, let it be.
I wake up to the sound of music, mother Mary comes to me, speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
Let it be, let it be,
Ob la di ob la da
Desmond has a barrow in the market place Molly is the singer in a band
Desmond says to Molly - girl I like your face And Molly says this as she takes him by the hand
Obladi oblada life goes on ah La la la how life goes on x2
Desmond takes a trolley to the jewellers stores Buys a twenty carat golden ring
Takes it back to Molly waiting at the door And as he gives it to her she begins to sing
In a couple of years they have built a home sweet home With a couple of kids running in the yard
of Desmond and Molly Jones
Happy ever after in the market place Desmond lets the children lend a hand
Molly stays at home and does her pretty face And in the evening she still sings it with the band
Beautiful
Every day, is so wonderful And suddenly, it's hard to breathe Now and then, I get insecure From all
the pain, I'm so ashamed
I am beautiful, no matter what they say Words can't bring me down I am beautiful, in every single way
Yes words can't bring me down, oh no So don't you bring me down, today
To all your friends, you're delirious So consumed, in all your doom Trying hard, to fill the emptiness
The piece is gone, left the puzzle undone,
You are beautiful, no matter what they say Words can't bring you down, oh no You are beautiful, in
every single way Yes words can't bring you down, oh no So don't you bring me down, today
Can’t help falling in love
Wise men say only fools rush in But I cant help falling in love with you Shall I stay Would it be a sin
If I cant help falling in love with you
Like a river flows surely to the sea Darling so it goes Some things are meant to be
13
Take my hand, take my whole life too For I cant help falling in love with you
Like a river flows surely to the sea Darling so it goes Some things are meant to be
Take my hand, take my whole life too For I cant help falling in love with you For I cant help falling in
love with you
Que Sera sera

what she said to me.
Que Sera, Sera, Whatever will be, will be The future's not ours, to see Que Sera, Sera What will be,
will be.
When I was young, I fell in love I asked my sweetheart what lies ahead Will we have rainbows, day
after day Here's what my sweetheart said.
Que Sera, Sera……
Now I have children of my own They ask their mother, what will I be Will I be handsome, will I be rich
I tell them tenderly.
Que Sera, Sera……

I’m a believer
I thought love was only true in fairy tales Meant for someone else but not for me.
Love was out to get me Thats the way it seemed. Disappointment haunted all my dreams.
Then I saw her face, now Im a believer Not a trace of doubt in my mind. Im in love, Im a believer!
I couldnt leave her if I tried.
I thought love was more or less a given thing, Seems the more I gave the less I got. Whats the use in
tryin? All you get is pain. When I needed sunshine I got rain.
Then I saw her face, now Im a believer Not a trace of doubt in my mind. Im in love, Im a believer! I
couldnt leave her if I tried.
I can see clearly now
I can see clearly now, the rain is gone, I can see all obstacles in my way Gone are the dark clouds that
had me blind It’s gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright) Sun-Shiny day.
I think I can make it now, the pain is gone All of the bad feelings have disappeared Here is the rainbow
I’ve been praying for It’s gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright) Sun-Shiny day.
Look all around, there’s nothing but blue skies Look straight ahead, nothing but blue skies
I can see clearly now, the rain has gone, I can see all obstacles in my way Gone are the dark clouds
that had me blind It’s gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright) Sun-Shiny day.
Brown eyed girl
Hey, where did we go Days when the rains came? Down in the hollow Playing a new game,
Laughing and a-running, hey, hey, Skipping and a-jumping In the misty morning fog with Our, our hearts
a-thumping And you, my brown-eyed girl, You, my brown-eyed girl.
Whatever happened To tuesday and so slow Going down to the old mine with a Transistor radio.
Standing in the sunlight laughing Hide behind a rainbows wall, Slipping and a-sliding All along the
waterfall With you, my brown-eyed girl, You, my brown-eyed girl.
Do you remember when we used to sing Sha la la la la la la la la la la dee dah
Sha la la la la la la la la la la dee dah La dee dah.
So hard to find my way Now that Im all on my own. I saw you just the other day, My, how you have
grown! Cast my memory back there, lord, Sometime Im overcome thinking about Making love in the
green grass Behind the stadium With you, my brown-eyed girl, You, my brown-eyed girl.
Do you remember when we used to sing Sha la la la la la la la la la la dee dah
Wonderful tonight
Its late in the evening Shes wondering what clothes to wear She puts on her make up And brushes her
long blonde hair And then she asks me Do I look alright And I say yes, you look wonderful tonight
We go a party And everyone turns to see This beautiful lady Thats walking around with me
And then she asks me Do you feel alright And I say yes, I feel wonderful tonight
I feel wonderful Because I see the love light in your eyes And the wonder of it all Is that you just
dont realize How much I love you
Its time to go home now And Ive got an aching head So I give her the car keys She helps me to bed
And then I tell her As I turn out the light I say my darling, you were wonderful tonight Oh my darling,
you were wonderful tonight
15
Weather with you
Walking round the room singing Stormy weather At 57 mt. pleasant st. Now its the same room but
everythings different You can fight the sleep but not the dream
Things aint cooking in my kitchen Strange affliction wash over me Julius caesar and the roman empire
Couldnt conquer the blue sky
Theres a small boat made of china Going nowhere on the mantelpiece Do I lie like a loungeroom lizard
Or do I sing like a bird released
Chorus
Everywhere you go you always take the weather with you
Don’t know why
I waited til I saw the sun I dont know why I didnt come
I left you by the house of fun I dont know why I didnt come I dont know why I didnt come
When I saw the break of day I wished that I could fly away Instead of kneeling in the sand
Catching teardrops in my hand My heart is drenched in wine But youll be on my mind Forever
Out across the endless sea I would die in ecstasy But Ill be a bag of bones Driving down the road along
My heart is drenched in wine But youll be on my mind Forever
Something has to make you run I dont know why I didnt come I feel as empty as a drum
I dont know why I didnt come x3
I’ll stand by you
Oh, why you look so sad? Tears are in your eyes Come on and come to me now Dont be ashamed to cry
Let me see you through cause Ive seen the dark side too
When the night falls on you You dont know what to do Nothing you confess Could make me love you less
Ill stand by you Ill stand by you Wont let nobody hurt you Ill stand by you
So if youre mad, get mad Dont hold it all inside Come on and talk to me now Hey, what you got to hide?
I get angry too Well Im a lot like you
When youre standing at the crossroads And dont know which path to choose Let me come along
cause even if youre wrong Ill stand by you
Ill stand by you Wont let nobody hurt you Ill stand by you Take me in, into your darkest hour
And Ill never desert you Ill stand by you And when... When the night falls on you, baby
Youre feeling all alone You wont be on your own
Ill stand by you Ill stand by you Wont let nobody hurt you Ill stand by you
Warwick ave
When I get to Warwick Avenue Meet me by the entrance of the tube
We can talk things over a little time Promise me you won't step outta line
When I get to Warwick Avenue Please drop the past and be true Don't think we're okay, just because
I'm here You hurt me bad, but I won't shed a tear
Chorus I'm leaving you for the last time baby You think you're loving but you don't love me
I've been confused outta my mind lately You think you're loving but you don't love me
I want to be free, baby you've hurt me
When I get to Warwick Avenue We'll spend an hour, but no more than two
Our only chance to speak once more I showed you the answers, now here's the door
When I get to Warwick Avenue I'll tell you baby that we're through
CHORUS
16
All the days spent together, I wished for better But I didn't want the train to come
Now it's departed I'm broken hearted, seems like we never started All the days spent together, when
I wished for better And I didn't want the train to come
I'm leaving you for the last time baby You think you're loving but you don't love me I want to be free,
baby you've hurt me You don't love me, I want to be free Baby you've hurt me
Make you feel my love
When the rain Is blowing in your face And the whole world Is on your case
I could offer you A warm embrace To make you feel my love
When the evening shadows stars appear And there is no one there To dry your tears
I could hold you For a million years To make you feel my love
I know you Haven't made Your mind up yet But I would never Do you wrong I've known it From the
moment That we met No doubt in my mind Where you belong
I'd go hungry I'd go black and blue I'd go crawling Down the avenue No, there's nothing That I
wouldn't do To make you feel my love
The storms are raging On the rolling sea And on the highway of regret Though winds of change Are
throwing wild and free You ain't seen nothing Like me yet
I could make you happy Make your dreams come true Nothing that I wouldn't do
Go to the ends Of the Earth for you To make you feel my love

Fields of gold
Youll remember me when the west wind moves Upon the fields of barley Youll forget the sun in his
jealous sky As we walk in the fields of gold
So she took her love For to gaze awhile Upon the fields of barley
In his arms she fell as her hair came down Among the fields of gold
Will you stay with me, will you be my love Among the fields of barley
Well forget the sun in his jealous sky, As we lie in the fields of gold
See the west wind move like a lover so Upon the fields of barley
Feel her body rise when you kiss her mouth Among the fields of gold
I never made promises lightly And there have been some that Ive broken
But I swear in the days still left Well walk in the fields of gold Well walk in the fields of gold
Many years have passed since those summer days Among the fields of barley
See the children run as the sun goes down Among the fields of gold
Youll remember me when the west wind moves Upon the fields of barley
You can tell the sun in his jealous sky When we walked in the fields of gold, When we walked in the
fields of gold
Yesterday
Yesterday, All my troubles seemed so far away, Now it looks as though they're here to stay,
Oh, I believe in yesterday.
Suddenly, I'm not half the man I used to be, There's a shadow hanging over me, Oh, yesterday came
suddenly.
Why she Had to go I don't know, she wouldn't say. I said, Something wrong, now I long for yesterday.
Yesterday, Love was such an easy game to play, Now I need a place to hide away, Oh, I believe in
yesterday.
Why she Had to go I don't know, she wouldn't say. I said, Something wrong, now I long for yesterday.
Yesterday, Love was such an easy game to play, Now I need a place to hide away,
Oh, I believe in yesterday. Mmm…
Half the world away
I would like to leave this city This old town dont smell too pretty and I can feel the warning signs
running around my mind And when I leave this island Ill book myself into a soul asylum Cos I can feel
the warning signs running around my mind So here I go, Im still scratching around the same old hole
My body feels young but my mind is very old So what do you say? You can give me the dreams that are
mine anyway Youre half the world away Half the world away Half the world away
Ive been lost, Ive been found but I dont feel down.
And when I leave this planet You know Id stay but I just cant stand it and I can feel the warning signs
running around my mind
And if I could leave this spirit Id find me a hole and Ill live in it cos I can feel the warning signs
running around my mind So here I go still scratching around in the same old hole My body feels young
18
but my mind if very old So what do you say? You can give me the dreams that are mine anyway
Youre half the world away Half the world away Half the world away Ive been lost, Ive been found but
I dont feel down
Proud mary
I left a good job down in the city Working for the man every night and day And I never lost one minute
of sleeping Worrying bout the way things might have been
Big wheel keep on turning Proud mary keep on burning And were rolling, rolling Rolling on the river
Cleaned a lot of plates in memphis Pumped a lot of tane down in new orleans But I never saw the good
side of the city Till I hitched a ride on a riverboat queen
Big wheel keep on turning Proud mary keep on burning And were rolling, rolling Rolling on the river
If you come down to the river I bet you gonna find some people who live You dont have to worry if you
got no money People on the river are happy to give
Valarie
Well sometimes I go out by myself and I look across the water
And I think of all the things, what you're doing and in my head I make a picture
'Cos since I've come on home, well my body's been a mess
And I've missed your ginger hair and the way you like to dress
Won't you come on over, stop making a fool out of me
Why won't you come on over Valerie, Valerie?
Did you have to go to jail, put your house on up for sale, did you get a good lawyer?
I hope you didn't catch a tan, I hope you find the right man who'll fix it for you
Are you shopping anywhere, changed the colour of your hair, are you busy?
And did you have to pay the fine you were dodging all the time are you still dizzy?
'Cos since I've come on home, well my body's been a mess
And I've missed your ginger hair and the way you like to dress
Won't you come on over, stop making a fool out of me
Why won't you come on over Valerie, Valerie.
Valerie, Valerie?
Well sometimes I go out by myself and I look across the water
And I think of all the things, what you're doing and in my head I make a picture'
Cos since I've come on home, well my body's been a mess
And I've missed your ginger hair and the way you like to dress
Won't you come on over, stop making a fool out of me
Why won't you come on over Valerie, Valerie.
Valerie, Valerie?
Yeah Valerie
American Pie
A long, long time ago... I can still remember How that music used to make me smile.
And I knew if I had my chance That I could make those people dance And, maybe, theyd be happy for
a while. But february made me shiver With every paper Id deliver. Bad news on the doorstep; I couldnt
take one more step.
I cant remember if I cried When I read about his widowed bride, But something touched me deep
19
inside The day the music died.
So bye-bye, miss american pie. Drove my chevy to the levee, But the levee was dry. And them good old
boys were drinkin whiskey and rye Singin, thisll be the day that I die. Thisll be the day that I die.
Did you write the book of love, And do you have faith in God above, If the Bible tells you so?
Do you believe in rock n roll, Can music save your mortal soul, And can you teach me how to dance real
slow?
Well, I know that youre in love with him `cause I saw you dancin in the gym. You both kicked off your
shoes. Man, I dig those rhythm and blues.
I was a lonely teenage broncin buck With a pink carnation and a pickup truck, But I knew I was out of
luck The day the music died. I started singin, Bye-bye, miss american pie. Drove my chevy to the levee,
But the levee was dry. Them good old boys were drinkin whiskey and rye And singin, thisll be the day
that I die. Thisll be the day that I die.
Every breath
Every breath you take and every move you make Every bond you break Every step you take, I'll be
watching you
Every single day and every word you say Every game you play Every night you stay, I'll be watching you
Oh can't you see you belong to me? How my poor heart aches with every step you take
Every move you make and every vow you break Every smile you fake Every claim you stake, I'll be
watching you
Since you've gone I've been lost without a trace I dream at night I can only see your face I look
around but it's you I can't replace I feel so cold and I long for your embrace I keep crying baby, baby
please
Oh can't you see you belong to me? How my poor heart aches with every step you take
Every move you make And every vow you break Every smile you fake Every claim you stake, I'll be
watching you Every move you make Every step you take, I'll be watching you, I'll be watching you
Hey jude
Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better.
Remember to let her into your heart, Then you can start to make it better.
Hey Jude, don't be afraid. You were made to go out and get her.
The minute you let her under your skin, Then you begin to make it better.
And anytime you feel the pain, hey Jude, refrain, Don't carry the world upon your shoulders.
For well you know that it's a fool who plays it cool By making his world a little colder.
Hey Jude, don't let me down. You have found her, now go and get her.
Remember to let her into your heart, Then you can start to make it better.
So let it out and let it in, hey Jude, begin, You're waiting for someone to perform with.
And don't you know that it's just you, hey Jude, you'll do, The movement you need is on your shoulder.
Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better. Remember to let her under your
skin, Then you'll begin to make it Better better better better better better, oh. Na na na, na na na
na, na na na, hey Jude...

Killing me softly
Strumming my pain with his fingers Singing my life with his words Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his song Telling my whole life with his words Killing me softly with his song
I heard he sang a good song, I heard he had a style And so I came to see him, to listen for a while
And there he was, this young boy, a stranger to my eyes
Strumming my pain with his fingers Singing my life with his words Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his song Telling my whole life with his words Killing me softly with his song
I felt all flushed with fever, embarassed by the crowd I felt he'd found my letters and read each one
out loud I prayed that he would finish, but he just kept right on
Strumming my pain with his fingers Singing my life with his words Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his song Telling my whole life with his words Killing me softly with his song
He sang as if he knew me in all my dark despair And then he looked right through me as if I wasn't
there But he was there, this stranger, singing clear and loud
Strumming my pain with his fingers Singing my life with his words Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his song Telling my whole life with his words Killing me softly with his song
When I’m 64
When i get older losing my hair, Many years from now. Will you still be sending me a valentine
Birthday greetings bottle of wine. If i'd been out till quarter to three Would you lock the door,
Will you still need me, will you still feed me, When i'm sixty-four.
You'll be older too, And it you say the word, I could stay with you.
I could be handy, mending a fuse When your lights have gone. You can knit a sweater by the fireside
Sunday mornings go for a ride, Doing the garden, digging the weeds, Who could ask for more.
Will you still need me, will you still feed me, When i'm sixty-four.
Every summer we can rent a cottage, In the isle of wight, if it's not too dear We shall scrimp and save
Grandchildren on your knee Vera chuck & dave
Send me a postcard, drop me a line, Stating point of view Indicate precisely what you mean to say
Yours sincerely, wasting away Give me your answer, fill in a form Mine for evermore
Will you still need me, will you still feed me, When i'm sixty-four. Whoo!

Blue Moon
Blue moon, you saw me standin' alone Without a dream in my heart, without a love of my own
Blue moon, you knew just what I was there for You heard me sayin' a prayer for
Someone I really could care for And then there suddenly appeared before me
The only one my arms will hold I heard somebody whisper "please adore me"
And when I looked, the moon had turned to gold Blue moon, now I'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own x4

Bad moon rising
I see a bad moon arising. I see trouble on the way. I see earthquakes and lightning. I see bad times
today.
CHORUS: Don't go around tonight, Well, it's bound to take your life, There's a bad moon on the rise.
I hear hurricanes a blowing. I know the end is coming soon. I fear rivers over flowing. I hear the voice
of rage and ruin.
CHORUS: Don't go around tonight, Well, it's bound to take your life, There's a bad moon on the rise.

Hope you got your things together. Hope you are quite prepared to die. Looks like we're in for nasty

Straighten up and fly right
A buzzard took monkey for a ride in the air The monkey thought that everything was on the square
The buzzard tried to throw the monkey off his back the monkey grabbed his neck and said-- Now
listen, Jack
Straighten up and fly right Straighten up and fly right Straighten up and fly right
Cool down, papa, don't you blow your top. Ain't no use in divin' What's the use in jivin'
Straighten up and fly right Cool down, papa, don't you blow your top.
The buzzard told the monkey "You're chokin' me Release your hold and I will set you free The monkey
looked the buzzard right dead in the eye and said Your story's so touching but it sounds just like a lie
Straighten up and fly right Straighten up and stay right Straighten up and fly right Cool down, papa,
don't you blow your top.
The buzzard told the monkey "You're chokin' me Release your hold and I will set you free The monkey

I’m not your pet
The first time that I metcha I thought that you were cool, but now ya got me thinking that you took
me for a fool. You think that you’re a princess whose words I must obey, so girl you better listen cos
I’m bout to walk away. I thought that it was sweet, to rub your tired feet if you had a long exhaustin
day. If you’d just do the same I wouldn’t feel so lame but you just scream at me ‘I wanna watch TV’.
You catch your favourite programme while I make your favourite meal. If this is what you’re offerin
it’s a pretty lousy deal. I’m not your hired servant but you seem to forget I’m not your faithful collie
I;m your boyfriend not your pet.
You tell me what to wear and how to comb my hair, this twisted up Pygmalion is just too much to bear.
I’ve had it up to here with all that you demand, so here’s my final notice only so much I can stand.
24
I’m packin all my stuff now an headin out the door, don’t beg or try to stop me I cant take it anymore.
Go find yourself a butler he’ll make sure your needs are met. The way you treat your boyfriends you’d
do better with a pet.

Mad world
All around me are familiar faces Worn out places, worn out faces Bright and early for their daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere
2. And their tears are filling up their glasses No expression, no expression Hide my head I want to
drown my sorrow No tomorrow, no tomorrow
And I find it kind of funny I find it kind of sad The dreams in which I'm dying Are the best I've ever
had I find it hard to tell you 'Cos I find it hard to take When people run in circles It's a very, very
Mad World
Children waiting for the day they feel good Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday Made to feel the way that
every child should Sit and listen, sit and listen Went to school and I was very nervous No one knew me,
no one knew me Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson Look right through me, look right through me
Ain’t no mountain high enough,
If you need me, call me, No matter where you are, No matter how far, Don't worry, brother. Just call
out my name, I'll be there in a hurry, You don't have to worry, ’Cos baby there
Ain’t no mountain high enough, Ain’t no valley low enough, Ain’t no river wide enough To keep me from
getting to you, babe.
Remember the day, You set me free, I told you you could always count on me. From that day on, I made
a vow, I'll be there when you want me, Somewhere, somehow. ’Cos baby there
Bad guys
We could’ve been anything that we wanted to be, But don’t it make your heart glad
That we decided, a fact we take pride in, To become the best at being bad.
We could’ve been anything that we wanted to be, With all the talent we had. No doubt about it, we
whine and we pout it, We’re the very best at being bad guys.
We’re rotten to the core, and my congratulations, No one likes you anymore. Bad guys. We’re the very
worst, Each of us contemptible, we’re criticised and cursed. We made the big time, malicious and mad.
We’re the very best at being bad.
We could’ve been anything that we wanted to be, We took the easy way out. With little training, we
mastered complaining. Manners seemed unnecessary. We’re so rude, it’s almost scary.
We could’ve been anything that we wanted to be, With all the talent we had. With little practice, we
made ev’ry blacklist. We’re the very best at being bad. We’re the very best at being bad. We’re the
very best at being bad.
Consider yourself
Consider yourself at home, Consider yourself one of the family. We’ve taken to you so strong, It’s
clear we’re going to get along! Consider yourself well in, Consider yourself part of the furniture.
There isn’t a lot to spare; Who cares? Whatever we’ve got we share!
If it should chance to be we should see some harder days, Empty larder days, why grouse? Always a
chance we’ll meet somebody to foot the bill, Then the drinks are on the house!
Consider yourself our mate, We don’t want to have no fuss, For after some consideration, we can
state: Consider yourself one of us.
Consider yourself at home, Consider yourself one of the family. We’ve taken to you so strong, It’s
clear we’re going to get along!
26
Consider yourself well in, Consider yourself part of the furniture. There isn’t a lot to spare; Who
cares? Whatever we’ve got we share!
Nobody tries to be lah-di-dah and uppity, There’s a cup o’ tea for all, Only it’s wise to be handy wiv a
rolling pin, When the landlord comes to call! Consider yourself our mate, We don’t want to have no fuss,
For after some consideration, we can state: Consider yourself one of us.
I do like to be beside the seaside,
Oh, I do like to be beside the seaside, I do like to be beside the sea. Oh, I do like to stroll along the
prom, prom, prom, Where the brass bands play ‘tiddly om pom pom.’
So just let me be beside the seaside, I’ll be beside myself with glee. And there’s lots of girls beside,
I should like to be beside, Beside the seaside, beside the sea.
I wanna be like you
Now I’m the king of the swingers, The jungle V.I.P. I’ve reached the top and had to stop And that’s
what’s botherin’ me. I wanna be a man, man cub, And stroll right into town, And be just like the other
men, I’m tired of monkeyin’ ’round!
Oh Ooh, ooh, oh! (Ee ee) I wanna be like you, ooh, ooh! (Ee ee) I wanna walk like you, Talk like you, too,
ooh, ooh! (Ee ee) You’ll see it’s true, ooh, ooh! (Ee ee) An ape like me, ee, ee (Ooh ooh) Can learn to be
Hu-ooh-ooh-man too, Ooh, ooh (Ee ee)
Don’t try to kid me, man cub And don’t get in a stew What I desire is man’s red fire, So I can be like
you. Give me the secret man cub, Just clue me what to do, Give me the pow’r of man’s red flow’r, And
make my dream come true!
Oh Ooh, ooh, oh! (Ee ee) I wanna be like you, ooh, ooh! (Ee ee)
I wanna walk like you, Talk like you, too, ooh, ooh! (Ee ee) You’ll see it’s true, ooh, ooh! (Ee ee)
An ape like me, ee, ee (Ooh ooh) Can learn to be Hu-ooh-ooh-man too, Ooh, ooh (Ee ee)
Me ol Bamboo
Me ol' bam-boo, me ol' bam-boo You'd better never bother with me ol' bam-boo. You can have me hat
or me bum-ber-shoo But you'd better never bother with me ol' bam-boo.
A gentleman's got a walking stick. A seaman's got a gaff. And the merry men of Robin Hood They used
a quarterstaff. On the Spanish plains inside their canes They hide their ruddy swords. But we make do
with an old bam-boo And everyone applauds! 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 - 7 - Hey!
Me ol' bam-boo, me ol' bam-boo You'd better never bother with me ol' bam-boo. You can have me hat
or me bum-ber-shoo But you'd better never bother with me ol' bam-boo.
When punting on the beautiful Thames You use a sturdy pole. To protect their fair complexion Ladies
use a parasol. It's useful in the underbrushmTo have a hefty spear. Right! But what we do with an old
bam-boo Makes everybody cheer! 1 - 2 - 3 - HO! Me ol' bam-boo, me ol' bam-boo You'd better never
bother with me ol' bam-boo You can have me hat or me bum-ber-shoo But you'd better never bother
with me ol' bam-boo, you'd better never bother with me ol' bam-boo!
Any dream will do
I closed my eyes, drew back the curtain To see for certain what I thought I knew Far far away,
someone was weeping But the world was sleeping Any dream will do
I wore my coat, with golden lining Bright colours shining, wonderful and new And in the east, the dawn
was breaking And the world was waking Any dream will do
A crash of drums, a flash of light My golden coat flew out of sight The colours faded into darkness
I was left alone
May I return to the beginning The light is dimming, and the dream is too The world and I, we are still
waiting Still hesitating Any dream will do
give me my coloured coat, my amazing coloured coat x2
27
Bring me sunshine
Bring me Sunshine, in your smile, Bring me Laughter, all the while, In this world where we live, there
should be more happiness, So much joy you can give, to each brand new bright tomorrow, Make me
happy, through the years, Never bring me, any tears, Let your arms be as warm as the sun from up
above, Bring me fun, bring me sunshine, bring me love. Bring me Sunshine, in your eyes, Bring me
rainbows, from the skies, Life's too short to be spent having anything but fun, We can be so content,
if we gather little sunbeams, Be light-hearted, all day long, Keep me singing, happy songs, Let your
arms be as warm as the sun from up above, Bring me fun, bring me sunshine, bring me love
I’m Henry the 8th I am

Thank you for the music
I'm nothing special, in fact I'm a bit of a bore If I tell a joke, you've probably heard it before
But I have a talent, a wonderful thing 'Cause everyone listens when I start to sing I'm so grateful and
proud All I want is to sing it out loud
So I say Thank you for the music, the songs I'm singing Thanks for all the joy they're bringing Who
can live without it, I ask in all honesty What would life be? Without a song or a dance what are we? So
I say thank you for the music For giving it to me
Mother says I was a dancer before I could walk She says I began to sing long before I could talk And
I've often wondered, how did it all start? Who found out that nothing can capture a heart Like a
melody can? Well, whoever it was, I'm a fan
What the world needs now Is love
What the world needs now, Is love, sweet love, It's the only thing that there's just too little of.
What the world needs now, Is love, sweet love, No, not just for some but for everyone.
Lord, we don't need another mountain, There are mountains and hillsides enough to climb,
There are oceans and rivers enough to cross, Enough to last 'til the end of time.
Lord, we don't need another meadow,There are cornfields and wheatfields enough to grow,
There are sunbeams and moonbeams enough to shine, Oh listen Lord, if you want to know...oh...
You raise me up
When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary; When troubles come and my heart burdened be;
Then, I am still and wait here in the silence, Until you come and sit awhile with me.
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains; You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas; I am strong,
when I am on your shoulders; You raise me up... To more than I can be.
There is no life - no life without its hunger; Each restless heart beats so imperfectly;
But when you come and I am filled with wonder, Sometimes, I think I glimpse eternity.
Bohemian Rhapsody
Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy? Caught in a landslide, No escape from reality
Open your eyes, Look up to the skies and see, I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy Because I'm
easy come, easy go, Little high, little low Any way the wind blows doesn't really matter to me, to me
Mama, just killed a man, Put a gun against his head Pulled my trigger, now he's dead Mama, life had just
begun But now I've gone and thrown it all away Mama, ooh, Didn't mean to make you cry If I'm not
back again this time tomorrow carry on, carry on as if nothing really matters
28
Too late, my time has come Sends shivers down my spine, body's aching all the time Goodbye,
ev'rybody, I've got to go Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth Mama, ooh, I don't want to die
I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all
I see a little silhouetto of a man Scaramouche, Scaramouche, will you do the Fandango Thunderbolt
and lightning, very, very fright'ning me (Galileo.) Galileo. (Galileo.) Galileo, Galileo figaro Magnifico. I'm
just a poor boy and nobody loves me He's just a poor boy from a poor family Spare him his life from
this monstrosity Easy come, easy go, will you let me go Bismillah! No, we will not let you go (Let him go!)
Bismillah! We will not let you go (Let him go!) Bismillah! We will not let you go (Let me go.) Will not let
you go (Let me go.) Will not let you go. (Let me go.) Ah No, no, no, no, no, no, no. (Oh mama mia, mama
mia.) Mama mia, let me go Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me, for me, for me
So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye So you think you can love me and leave me to die
Oh, baby, can't do this to me, baby Just gotta get out, just gotta get right outta here
Nothing really matters, Anyone can see Nothing really matters Nothing really matters to me
Any way the wind blows
California dreamin
all the leaves are brown and the sky is grey I've been for a walk on a winter's day
I'd be safe and warm if I was in L.A California Dreamin' on such a winter's day
stopped into a church I passed along the way well, I got down on my knees and I pretend to pray
you know the preacher likes the cold he knows I'm gonna stay California Dreamin' on such a winter's
day
all the leaves are brown and the sky is grey I've been for a walk on a winter's day if I didn't tell her I
could leave today California Dreamin' on such a winter's day x3
Hallelujah
Now I've heard there was a secret chord That David played, and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do you? It goes like this The fourth, the fifth The minor fall, the
major lift The baffled king composing Hallelujah
Hallelujah x4
Your faith was strong but you needed proof You saw her bathing on the roof Her beauty and the
moonlight overthrew you She tied you To a kitchen chair She broke your throne, and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
Baby I have been here before I know this room, I've walked this floor I used to live alone before I
knew you. I've seen your flag on the marble arch Love is not a victory march It's a cold and it's a
broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah, x4
There was a time you let me know What's really going on below But now you never show it to me, do
you? And remember when I moved in you The holy dove was moving too And every breath we drew was
Hallelujah
Hallelujah, x4
You say I took the name in vain I don't even know the name But if I did, well really, what's it to you?
There's a blaze of light In every word It doesn't matter which you heard The holy or the broken
Hallelujah
Hallelujah, x4
I did my best, it wasn't much I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch I've told the truth, I didn't come to
29
fool you And even though It all went wrong I'll stand before the Lord of Song With nothing on my
tongue but Hallelujah
Bridge over troubles water
When you're weary Feeling small When tears are in your eyes I will dry them all
I'm on your side When times get rough And friends just can't be found
Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
When you're down and out When you're on the street When evening falls so hard I will comfort you
I'll take your part When darkness comes And pain is all around Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down
Sail on Silver Girl, Sail on by Your time has come to shine All your dreams are on their way
See how they shine If you need a friend I'm sailing right behind Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind Like a bridge over troubled water I will ease your mind
Shine
You, you're such a big star to me You're everything I wanna be But you're stuck in a hole and I want
you to get out I don't know what there is to see But I know it's time for you to leave We're all just
pushing along Trying to figure it out, out, out.
All your anticipation pulls you down When you can have it all, you can have it all.
So come on, come on, get it on Don't know what you're waiting for Your time is coming don't be late,
hey hey So come on See the light on your face Let it shine Just let it shine Let it shine.
Stop being so hard on yourself It's not good for your health I know that you can change So clear your
head and come round You only have to open your eyes You might just get a big surprise And it may feel
good and you might want to smile, smile, smile.
Don't you let your demons pull you down 'Cause you can have it all, you can have it all.
Hey let me know you You're all that matters to me Hey let me show you You're all that matters to me.
Hey let me love you You're all that matters to me Hey so come on yeah Shine all your light over me.
Tears in heaven
Would you know my name If I saw you in heaven Will it be the same If I saw you in heaven
I must be strong, and carry on Cause I know I don't belong Here in heaven
Would you hold my hand If I saw you in heaven Would you help me stand If I saw you in heaven
I'll find my way, through night and day Cause I know I just can't stay Here in heaven
Time can bring you down Time can bend your knee Time can break your heart Have you begging please
Begging please
Beyond the door There's peace I'm sure. And I know there'll be no more... Tears in heaven
Would you know my name If I saw you in heaven Will it be the same If I saw you in heaven I must be
strong, and carry on Cause I know I don't belong Here in heaven
Cause I know I don't belong Here in heaven

Sing with joy
(Melody 1:)
Sing with joy in the morning time, Sing with joy at night. Sing when the sun begins to rise
And when the stars are bright. Sing with joy for the life you lead, Sing with all your might.

Roll the old chariot
So we'll roll the old chariot along An' we'll roll the golden chariot along. So we'll roll the old chariot
along An' we'll all hang on behind!

Sailors lass
My mother sent me out a fishing, cockle picking my the sea, slip my foot and in I tumbled, three jolly
sailors after me.
31
Sailors they have gold and silver, soliders they have naught but brass, I don’t care what my mother
tells me, I will be a sailors lass.
My mother said if I married a sailor it would break her tender heart, I don’t care what to mother
matters I will take the sailors part.
He will buy me sheets and blankets, he will buy me diamond rings, he will buy me a pair of circles, when
the wedding hoops he brings.
The eddystone light
My father was the keeper of the Eddystone light He married a mermaid one fine night
From this union there came three A porpoise and a porgy and the other one me!
Yo ho ho, the wind blows free, Oh, for the life on the rolling sea!
Late one night, I was a-trimming of the glim While singing a verse from the evening hymn
A voice on the starboard shouted "Ahoy!" And there was my mother, a-sitting on a buoy.
Yo ho ho, the wind blows free, Oh, for the life on the rolling sea!
"Tell me what has become of my children three?" My mother she did asked of me.
One was exhibited as a talking fish The other was served on a chafing dish.
Yo ho ho, the wind blows free, Oh, for the life on the rolling sea!
Then the phosphorous flashed in her seaweed hair. I looked again, and me mother wasn't there
A voice came echoing out from the night "To Hell with the keeper of the Eddystone Light!"
Yo ho ho, the wind blows free, Oh, for the life on the rolling sea!
Tie em up
Man and boy fish a hoy, spend me life at days at sea, now they wanna make a landlubber out of me, tie
me up beside the quay.
Chorus: Tie em up, tie em up, tie em up don’t let em sail, Tie em up, tie em up, better selling up than
tying up.
A man in a suit he came down here, took a stroll along the pier, looked at his list and he told me square,
you can go fishin just once a year.
Brixham, Plymouth, Padstow crews, Mevagissey poor old Looe, Newlyn boys they’re all sunk too, thrown
overboard like an old fishstew.
Quotas, rotas laws and rules, Ministry men from public schools, telling us all to down our tools, they
don’t give a damn that we’re all washed up.
We’ve risked our lives, left our wives, missed our children growing up, now we’ve left our boats come
ashore, signed on the dole to fish no more.
Mack’rel up the wall
The word is out the fish are in, a million silver tales and fins, the cry goes up to run on down, there’s
mackerel up the wall.
Now its fishing fever time again, people run with rod and line, its out of may and into june, there’s
mackerel up the wall.
First one then two and then a score, two hundred people maybe more, with bait and nets and floats and
all, there’s mackerel up the wall.
32
Week on week they share it out, no-one goes away without, you don’t need money here you know,
there’s mackerel up the wall.
Out of june comes hot july, fishing fever quickly dies, until next year it starts again with mackerel up
the wall.
The ramble-ay
Now it happned to be on a certain day, when the rambleay to her anchors lay, twas in the night the gale
came on, and she from her anchors away did run.
The rain came down in huge great drops, oh the seas wash over our main top, and when we could no
better do, we let our cables run right through.
Over board over board or long boats tossed, and so many got in that the most was lost, there was some
in one place some in another, and the watch down they were all smothered.
Sad news sad news to Plymouth town, that the rambleay was lost and most were drowned, all Plymouth
town will float with tears, in hearing of these sad affairs.
Captain ward
There came a ship a-sailing, a-sailing from the West
Loaded with silks and satins and choice things of the best
Till we fell in with Captain Ward all on the seas so green
He robbed us of all our store bid us go tell our King
Our King he had a noble ship a ship of gallant fame
Launched on the twenty fourth of March the Rainbow was her name
With full five hundred seamen bold as ever your eyes did see
With full five hundred seamen bold to keep her company
Then oh away the Rainbow went a sailing on the main
In search of this bold robber and Ward it was his name
‘Who’s this, who’s this’ says Captain Ward ‘my name I’ll never deny
But if you are in some King’s high ship then you’re welcome to pass by’
‘Oh yes, I am the Kind’s high ship and I speak it to your grief
Let you and I some battle try before our sails we reef’
‘With all my heart’ cries Captain Ward ‘I value not one pin
For though you’ve got brass for blazing show, still I’ve good steel within’
It was early on the next morning that the red blood began to run
The fight went on till day was done and set the golden sun
‘Fight on fight on’, says Captain Ward ‘and tell your King from me
That if you fight on for another night still your master I will be
Go home go home’ says Captain Ward ‘and tell your Kind from me
That he might be King on the green, green land, but I am King at sea’
Then it’s back returned the rainbow sailing home again
Put up in Plymouth Sound once more, but half the crew were slain
‘Alack alack, then says our King I once had Captains three
And if any of them were still alive they’d have brought proud ward to me
Alack alack, then says our King I once had Captains three
And if any one of them was still alive he’d have brought proud Ward to me.’
For the last two longer verses, simply repeat the second half
of the tune to carry the words of the extra yrics.
Outward Bound
To the Plymouth dock we bade farewell, To charming Polly and Lovely Nell
With our anchors weighed and the sails unfurled, We’re bound across the watery world
For the seas we are outward bound, For the seas we are outward bound
33
Now the wind it blew from east north east, And our ship she does nine knots at least
At the Spaniards we let fly, While we’ve grog we’ll never say die
For the seas we are outward bound, For the seas we are outward bound
When we return to the Plymouth docks, Those fair pretty maids come round in flocks
One to the other you can hear them say, ‘Here comes Jack with his 3 years pay
From the seas he is homeward bound, From the seas he is homeward bound’
And when we get to the Dog and Bell, Where there’s good poison for to sell
Out comes old Arch with his sweetest smile, Saying ‘drink my lads tis worth your while
From the seas you are homeward bound From the seas you are homeward bound ‘‘
And when our money is gone and spent And there’s none to be borrowed and none to be lent
Out comes old Arch with his sourest frown ‘Get up Jack, let John sit down’
For Jack is outward bound, but John is homeward bound For Jack is outward bound, but John is
homeward bound

john Barleycorn
There was three men come out from the West Their fortunes for to try,
And these three made a solemn vow: "John Barleycorn should die."
They plowed, they sowed, they harrowed him in, Threw clods upon his head,
And these three men made a solemn vow John Barleycorn was dead.
They let him lie for a very long time, 'Til the rains from heaven did fall,
Then little Sir John sprung up his head And so amazed them all.
They let him stand 'til Mid-Summer till he looked both pale and wan;
And little Sir John he growed a long beard And so became a man.
They hired men with their scythes so sharp To cut him off at the knee;
They rolled him and tied him by the waist, And served him most barbarously.
They hired men with their sharp pitchforks who pricked him to the heart,
But the loader he served him worse than that, For he bound him to the cart.
They wheeled him 'round and around the field 'Til they came unto a barn,
And there they took a solemn mow Of poor John Barleycorn.
They hired men with their crab-tree sticks To split him skin from bone,
And the miller he served him worse than that, For he ground him between two stones.
Here's little Sir John in the nut-brown bowl, And brandy in the glass,
And little Sir John in the nut-brown bowl Proved the stronger man at last.
And the huntsman he can’t find the fox Nor so loudly blow his horn
And the tinker he can’t mend kettles or pots Without a little of Barleycorn.
To me right fol airy fol-de-did-dle-day To me right fol airy oh x2

Lady dressed in white
Along the castle walls she walks, as if shes floating through the air, she never smiles she never talks,
her sorrow seems too great to bear.
Oh lady dressed in white, are you waiting for your love, will he come again to find you, oh lady dressed
in white, are you doomed to walk these walls, must the spell forever blind you.
The mist it swirls around her feet, alone she paces to and fro, each night she comes her love to meet,
her trembling hands her sorrow show.
Oh lady dressed in white, are you waiting for your love, will he come again to find you, oh lady dressed
in white, are you doomed to walk these walls, must the spell forever blind you.
And as the morning light appears, she turns her head as if to go, her lovely face is streaked with
tears, her story we will never know.
Oh lady dressed in white, are you waiting for your love, will he come again to find you, oh lady dressed
in white, are you doomed to walk these walls, must the spell forever blind you.

Scarborough Fair
Are you going to Scarborough Fair? Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme,
Remember me to one who lives there; She was once a true love of mine.
Have her make me a cambric shirt, Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme,
Without no seam or fine needlework And then she’ll be a true love of mine.
Have her find me an acre of land, Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme,
Between the sea foam and over the sand, And then she’ll be a true love of mine.
Plow the land with the horn of a lamb, Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme,
Then sow some seeds from the north of the dam, And then she’ll be a true love of mine.
If she tells me she can’t, I’ll reply, Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme,
Let me know that at least she will try, And then she’ll be a true love of mine.
Skye boat song
‘Speed bonnie boat like a bird on the wing, Onward’ the sailors cry.
‘Carry the lad that's born to be King, Over the sea to Skye.’
Loud the winds howl, loud the waves roar, Thunder clouds rend the air,
Baffled, our foes stand on the shore, Follow they will not dare.
‘Speed bonnie boat like a bird on the wing, Onward’ the sailors cry.
‘Carry the lad that's born to be King, Over the sea to Skye.’
Though the waves leap, soft shall ye sleep, Ocean's a royal bed.
Rocked in the deep, Flora will keep Watch by your weary head.
‘Speed bonnie boat like a bird on the wing, Onward’ the sailors cry.
‘Carry the lad that's born to be King, Over the sea to Skye.’

Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound, That saved a wretch like me.... I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind, but now, I see.
As Grace first taught my heart to fear. So Grace, my fears relieved. How precious did that Grace

snoring, come sit closer Minka.
If you want me for a lover, come sit closer and discover, that we do not need a cover, come sit closer

I'd rather feel the earth beneath my feet, Yes I would. If I only could, I surely would.
