Be My Baby

Written by Ellie Greenwich, Jeff Barry abd Phil Spector
Performed by The Ronettes

The night we met I knew I needed you so
And if I had the chance I'd never let you go
So won't you say you love me?
I'll make you so proud of me
We'll make 'em turn their heads every place we go

So won't you, please (be my, be my baby)
Be my little baby? (My one and only baby)
Say you'll be my darlin' (be my, be my baby)
Be my baby now (my one and only baby)
Whoa-oh-oh-oh

I'll make you happy, baby, just wait and see
For every kiss you give me, I'll give you three
Oh, since the day I saw you
I have been waiting for you
You know I will adore you 'til eternity

So won't you, please (be my, be my baby)
Be my little baby? (My one and only baby)
Say you'll be my darlin' (be my, be my baby)
Be my baby now (my one and only baby)
Whoa-oh-oh-oh

So come on and, please (be my, be my baby)
Be my little baby? (My one and only baby)
Say you'll be my darlin' (be my, be my baby)
Be my baby now (my one and only baby)
Whoa-oh-oh-oh

Be my little baby? (My one and only baby)
Oh-oh-oh (be my, be my baby)
Oh (my one and only baby)
Whoa-oh-oh-oh (be my, be my baby)
Oh-oh-oh (My one and only baby)
Oh (be my, be my baby)

Can You Picture That

Written by Paul Williams and Kenny Ascher
Performed by Dr. Teeth & The Electric Mahem


Oh yeah, whoo

Everybody's lover, everybody's brother, I wanna be your lifetime friend

Crazy as a rocket, nothin' in my pocket, I keep it at the rainbow's end

I never think of money, I think of milk 'n honey, grinnin' like a Cheshire cat

I focus on the pleasure, somethin' I can treasure, can you picture that?

Can you picture that?

 

Hey Floyd, take a verse

 

Let me take your picture, add it to the mixture, there it is I got you now

Really nothin' to it, anyone can do it, it's easy and we all know how

Now begins the changin', mental rearrangin', nothing's really where it's at

 

Now the Eiffel Tower's holdin' up a flower

I gave it to a Texas cat

Fact is there's nothin' out there you can't do

Yeah, even Santa Claus believes in you

 

Beat down the walls, begin, believe, behold, begat

Be a better drummer, be an up and comer

Can you picture that?

 

Can you picture that?

You might also like

 

Alright

All of us are winnin, pickin and a-grinnin, Lordy but I love to jam

Jelly-belly gigglin', dancin' and a-wigglin', honey that's the way I am

Lost my heart in Texas, Northern lights affect us

I keep it underneath my hat

Aurora Borealis, shining down on Dallas, can you picture that?

 

Can you picture that?

Can you picture?

You gotta see it in your mind

Can you picture?

What's quick and easy to find

Can you picture?

You don't have to buy a frame

Can you picture? Can you picture that?

Can you picture that?

Keep on Loving You

Written by Kevin Patrick Cronin, Jr.
Performed by REO Speedwagon

You should have seen by the look in my eyes, baby
There was something missin'
You should have known by the tone of my voice maybe
But you didn't listen

You played dead
But you never bled
Instead you laid still in the grass
All coiled up and hissin'

And you know I know all about those men
Still I don't remember
'Cause it was us baby, way before them
And we're still together

And I meant every word I said
When I said that I love you
I meant that I love you forever

And I'm gonna keep on lovin' you
'Cause it's the only thing I wanna do
I don't wanna sleep
I just wanna keep on lovin' you

And I meant every word I said
When I said that I love you
I meant that I love you forever

And I'm gonna keep on lovin' you
'Cause it's the only thing I wanna do
I don't wanna sleep
I just wanna keep on lovin' you

Baby, I'm gonna keep on lovin' you
'Cause it's the only thing I wanna do
I don't wanna sleep
I just wanna keep on lovin' you

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

Written by Bernie Taupin and Elton John
Performed by Elton John


When are you gonna come down?
When are you going to land?
I should have stayed on the farm
I should have listened to my old man

You know you can't hold me forever
I didn't sign up with you
I'm not a present for your friends to open
This boy's too young to be singing
The blues, ah, ah

So goodbye yellow brick road
Where the dogs of society howl
You can't plant me in your penthouse
I'm going back to my plough

Back to the howling old owls
Hunting the horny back toad
Oh, I've finally decided my future lies
Beyond the yellow brick road
Ah, ah

What do you think you'll do then?
I bet they'll shoot down the plane
It'll take you a couple of vodka and tonics
To set you on your feet again

Maybe you'll get a replacement
There's plenty like me to be found
Mongrels who ain't got a penny
Sniffing for tidbits like you
On the ground, ah, ah

So goodbye yellow brick road
Where the dogs of society howl
You can't plant me in your penthouse
I'm going back to my plough

Back to the howling old owls
Hunting the horny back toad
Oh, I've finally decided my future lies
Beyond the yellow brick road
Ah, ah

Rag Doll livin' in a movie
Hot tramp Daddy's little cutie
You're 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
Mm 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
Talkin' all about the new crowd
Try and tell me of an old dream
A new version of the old scene
Speak easy on the grape vine
Keep shufflin' in a shoe shine
Old tin lizzy do it till you're dizzy
Give it all ya got until you're put out of your misery

Rag Doll livin' in a movie
Hot tramp Daddy's little cutie
You're so fine they'll never see ya leavin' by the back

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

Yes I'm movin'
Yes I'm groovin'
Get ready for the big time
Tap dancing on a land mine
Yes I'm movin'
Yes I'm movin'
Old tin lizzy do it till you're dizzy
Give it all ya got until you're put out of your misery

For Once in My Life

Written by Orlando Murden and Ronald N. Miller
Performed by Stevie Wonder

For once in my life I have someone who needs me
Someone I've needed so long
For once, unafraid, I can go where life leads me
And somehow I know I'll be strong

For once I can touch what my heart used to dream of
Long before I knew
Oh, someone warm like you
Would make my dreams come true

Yeah, yeah, yeah

For once in my life I won't let sorrow hurt me
Not like it's hurt me before (not like it's hurt before)
For once, I have something I know won't desert me
I'm not alone anymore (I'm not alone anymore)

For once, I can say, this is mine, you can't take it
As long as I know I have love, I can make it
For once in my life, I have someone who needs me

Ayy, ha-ha, ayy, yeah
(Someone who needs me)
Oh, baby, oh, baby

For once in my life I won't let sorrow hurt me (for once in my life)
Not like it's hurt me before
For once, I have something I know won't desert me
I'm not alone anymore (I'm not alone anymore)

For once, I can say, this is mine, you can't take it
As long as I know I have love, I can make it
For once in my life, I have someone who need me (someone who needs me)

Oh, for once in my life
(Somebody that needs me)
Yeah, somebody that needs me
(Somebody that needs me)
Ooh, baby
For once in my life

Lost Stars

Written by Nicky Southwood, Nick Lashley, Danielle Briseboise and Gregg Alexander
Performed by Kiera Knightley


Performed by Adam Levine

Please don't see just a boy caught up in dreams and fantasies
Please see me reaching out for someone I can't see
Take my hand let's see where we wake up tomorrow
Best laid plans sometimes are just a one night stand
I'd be damned Cupid's demanding back his arrow
So let's get drunk on our tears and

God, tell us the reason youth is wasted on the young
It's hunting season and the lambs are on the run
Searching for meaning
But are we all lost stars, trying to light up the dark?

Who are we? Just a speck of dust within the galaxy?
Woe is me, if we're not careful turns into reality
Don't you dare let our best memories bring you sorrow
Yesterday I saw a lion kiss a deer
Turn the page maybe we'll find a brand new ending
Where we're dancing in our tears and

God, tell us the reason youth is wasted on the young
It's hunting season and the lambs are on the run
Searching for meaning
But are we all lost stars, trying to light up the dark?

I thought I saw you out there crying
I thought I heard you call my name
I thought I heard you out there crying
Just the same

God, give us the reason youth is wasted on the young
It's hunting season and this lamb is on the run
Searching for meaning
But are we all lost stars, trying to light up the dark?

I thought I saw you out there crying
I thought I heard you call my name
I thought I heard you out there crying

But are we all lost stars, trying to light up the dark?
But are we all lost stars, trying to light up the dark?

The Cover of the Rolling Stone

Written by Shel Silverstein
Performed by Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show

I don't believe it, ta, ah, ah, oh
Don't touch me
Hey Ray, hey Sugar
Tell 'em who we are

Well, we're big rock singers, we got golden fingers
And we're loved everywhere we go (that sounds like us)
We sing about beauty and we sing about truth
At 10, 000 dollars a show (right)
We take all kind of pills that give us all kind of thrills
But the thrill we've never known
Is the thrill that'll get ya when you get your picture
On the cover of the Rolling Stone

wanna see my picture on the cover
(Stone) wanna buy five copies for my mother (yeah!)
(Stone) wanna see my smiling face
On the cover of the Rolling Stone
(That's a very, very good idea)

I got a freaky old lady name a Cocaine Katy
Who embroiders on my jeans
I got my poor old gray-haired daddy
Drivin' my limousine
Now, it's all designed to blow our minds
But our minds won't really be blown
Like the blow that'll get ya when you get your picture
On the cover of the Rolling Stone

wanna see our pictures on the cover
(Stone) wanna buy five copies for our mothers (yeah!)
(Stone) wanna see my smiling face
On the cover of the Rolling Stone
(Hey, I know how - rock and roll!)

We got a lot of little teenage blue-eyed groupies
Who'd do anything we say
We got a genuine Indian Guru
He's teaching us a better way
We got all the friends that money can buy
So we never have to be alone (no!)
And we keep getting richer, but we can't get our picture
On the cover of the Rolling Stone

Wanna see my picture on the cover
(Stone) wanna buy five copies for my mother (I want one!)
(Stone) wanna see my smiling face
On the cover of the Rolling Stone
On the cover of the Rolling

On the cover of the Rolling Stone (fresh shot, right up front, man, I can see it now)
(We'd be on the front, smilin', man, oh, beautiful!)

Revolution Earth

Written by Fred Schnieder, Kate Pierson, Keith Strickland and Robert Waldrop
Performed by The B-52s

Endless distance
Wildlife and stars
Blanket the night
You lying beside me, darling
Eyes wide open
While the wide arc of the globe is turning
We feel it moving through the dark
Hear the hills
Scrape the sky
And our eyes fill with the falling sparks

Then we know that we're alive
If we weren't
Sure before
I reach for you by my side and soar

Revolution Earth
On gliding fireworks
Revolution Earth
Rolling under us
The world is turning on gliding fireworks
You beside me
Revolution Earth

Frost on the jungle vine
Melting in sunshine (in summer time)
Snow on the mountain top
Piling high in loving cups!

Then we know that we're alive
If we weren't
Sure before
I reach for you by my side and soar

Revolution Earth
On gliding fireworks
Revolution Earth
Rolling under us
High above on gliding fireworks
You beside me
Revolution Earth

You flying beside me, darling
Eyes open wide (eyes open wide)
On a voyage between dusk and dawn
Space and time

Then we know that we're alive
If we weren't
Sure before
I reach for you by my side and soar

Revolution Earth
On gliding fireworks
Revolution Earth
Rolling under us
The world is turning on gliding fireworks
You beside me
Revolution - Revolution Earth
On gliding fireworks
Revolution Earth
Rolling under us
High above on gliding fireworks
You beside me
Revolution Earth

King of the Road

Written by Roger Miller
Perforemd by Roger Miller

Trailer's for sale or rent
Rooms to let, 50 cents
No phone, no pool, no pets
I ain't got no cigarettes

Ah, but, two hours of pushin' broom
Buys an eight by twelve four-bit room
I'm a man of means by no means
King of the road

Third boxcar, midnight train
Destination Bangor, Maine
Old, worn out suit and shoes
I don't pay no union dues

I smoke old stogies I have found
Short, but not too big around
I'm a man of means by no means
King of the road

I know every engineer on every train
All of their children, and all of their names
And every handout in every town
Every lock that ain't locked, when no one's around

I sing, trailers for sale or rent
Rooms to let, 50 cents
No phone, no pool, no pets
I ain't got no cigarettes

Ah, but, two hours of pushin' broom
Buys an eight by twelve four-bit room
I'm a man of means by no means
King of the road

Trailers for sale or rent
Rooms to let, 50 cents
No phone, no pool, no pets
I ain't got no cigarettes
Ah, but, two hours of pushin' broom buys...
