B MOVIE
(Jeremy Clyde/David Pierce/Rick Jones)
I want to be
In a B Movie
Where everything is black and white
Where every dorrman knows my name
And every cabby knows my game
White tuxedo and a gold lucky charm
B Movie heroine hanging on my arm
I wanna be - oh let me be
I want to be
In a B Movie
Cause it's nice and safe in there.
Where wisecracks come out right on cue
Where guys get killed but never you
One look tells you the hero from the heel
And it all comes out OK in the very last reel
I want to be - oh let me be
I want the boys to play "September Song"
Cause she and me are into heaving romancing
I want the boys to play it all night long
Till she and me are the only ones still dancing, dancing, dancing
I want to be
In a B Movie
Gonna try some dreams for a change
Tug the brim of my fedora down
Take a little stroll on the ritzy side of town
The wise money says I'd be safer laying low
I say, what the hell, who's running this show
I want to be - oh let me be
I want the boys to play "September Song"
Cause she and me are into heaving romancing
I want the boys to play it all night long
Till she and me are the only ones still dancing, dancing, dancing
I want to be
In a B Movie
Where everything is black and white
Where every dorrman knows my name
And every cabby knows my game
White tuxedo and a gold lucky charm
B Movie heroine hanging on my arm
I wanna be - oh let me be
BABY DON'T GO
(Sonny Bono)
Baby don't
go, pretty baby please don't go
I never knew my mother
I hardly knew
my dad
I've been in town for eighteen years
And you're the only girl I've
had
I can't stay
Maybe I'll be back some day
Baby don't go, pretty baby
please don't go
I love you so, pretty baby please don't go
I never had
no money
I bought at the second hand store
The way this whole town laughs
at me
I just can't take it no more
I'm going away
Maybe I'll be back
some day
Baby don't go, pretty baby please don't go
I love you so, pretty
baby please don't go
When I get to the city
My tears will all be
dried
The girls are gonna look so pretty
And I'll forget you by and
by
I'm going away
Maybe I'll be back some day
Baby don't go, pretty
baby please don't go
I love you so, pretty baby please don't
go
BEFORE AND
AFTER
(Van McCoy)
He wears a smile, I wear a
frown
And I can tell whenever he's around
And all the eyes of everyone are
staring
And I know that they're comparing the two
Whispering and a'saying
when they do
See the difference between the old and new
Before and
after
Losing you, losing you
His future's bright, my future's
dim
And all the dreams we shared, you share with him
And all the eyes of
everyone are staring
And I know that they're comparing the two
Whispering
and a'saying when they do
See the difference between the old and
new
Before and after
Losing you, losing you
I used to be happy as
he, till I lost you some how
Though I don't show it, you wouldn't know
it
To look at me now
He wears a smile, I wear a frown
He makes you
happy when he's around
He wears a smile, I wear a frown
He makes you happy
when he's around
BITE THE BULLET
(Chad Stuart)
Revving your engines
Spinning your wheels
All of a sudden
You know how it feels
To love her
When she don't love you back
You want to reach her
But you don't seem to have the knack
She says it's over
That you were unkind
Don't be downhearted
"Cause she could change her mind
Tomorrow
Is another day
So don't you give up now
Love will find a way
You've got to bite the bullet
And take it like a man
You can't hold back the tears sometimes
But you can do it, you can do it
Yes I know you can
Write her a letter
Don't let it get you down
Send her some flowers
And if she don't come around
Tomorrow
Is another day
So don't you give up now
Love will find a way
BLACK POWDER
(Chad Stuart)
Two thousand feet down, in the heart of the earth
Driving the steel for all that you're worth
Eight hours in a dungeon down on your knees
Taking out gold for the lords and ladies
Two thousand feet down, three dollars a day
That's what you're worth boy, and that's what they pay
You can fill up your pockets, high-grade you some ore
But up in the change house they'll catch you for sure
If a fire don't get started, if a tunnel don't fill
If the whiskey don't kill you, the black powder will
So swing your hammer as the candlelight shines
You'll never get out of the Cripple Creek mines
Two thousand feet down, and still going deeper
You'll never stop until you meet your maker
So pray God to spare you for some time to come
To put bread on the table for your little ones
BUSMAN'S HOLIDAY (on the road
again)
(Jeremy Clyde)
Endless rows of coke
machines
Nothing here but empty dreams
Hey miss, the same again
No time
to write to you
Hey miss, will you make that two?
This place don't have a
name
Hey, hey babe, I'm on the road again
No time 'cept in my
head
And I just thought that you were dead
Bad dreams coming back
again
Hey man, when do we leave town?
Have I got time to get two more
down?
This place don't have a name
Hey, hey babe, I'm on the road
again
Ice melted in my drink
Juke box broke down I think
Bus leaves
at three a.m.
Hurry with the check or I'll be late
Gotta move to another
state
This place don't have a name
Hey, hey babe, I'm on the road
again
Hey, hey babe, on the road again
Hey, hey babe, on the road
again
CAN I SEE
YOU?
(Jeremy Clyde)
Can I see you?
It's been so
long, I hope and pray
The hurt has gone from inside me
Can I see you?
I
promise I won't make a scene
You can't know 'til you've tried me
Just slip
away
Won't take a minute from your busy day
Can I see you?
Can I
see you?
They tell me you've another man
They tell me that you love
him
Can I see you?
I met him once some years ago
And you are far above
him
I won't stay
Just want to pass the time of day
Can I see
you?
Where shall we meet?
How 'bout the corner of your street?
And
what about the time?
I think a quarter to eight would be fine
Would be
fine
And I see you
You look a little older now, perhaps
Or maybe I
am younger
And I touch you
I take your hand as a stranger now
And want
to hold it longer
But you must go
You'll never guess I still love you
so
But I saw you
I saw you
CAN'T GET USED TO LOSING
YOU
(Pomus/Shuman)
Guess there's no use in hanging round
Think I'll get
dressed and do the town
I'll find some crowded avenue
Though it will be
empty without you
Can't get used to losing you
No matter what I try to
do
Gonna live my whole life through
Loving you
Called up some girl
I used to know
After I heard her say hello
Couldn't think of anything to
say
Since you're gone it happens ev'ry day
Can't get used to losing
you
No matter what I try to do
Gonna live my whole life through
Loving
you
I'll find somebody, wait and see
Who am I kidding? Only
me
'Cause no-one else can take your place
Guess that I am just a hopeless
case
Can't get used to losing you
No matter what I try to do
Gonna
live my whole life through
Loving you
CAUTIONARY TALE
(Jeremy Clyde)
I lay in bed the other night
I dreamed I saw wild geese in flight
Flapped my arms with all my might
But somehow could not follow
The geese they were so snowy white
And speckled red in the morning light
If I practice all the night
Then I shall fly tomorrow
Tomorrow when I fly away
Far above the clouds I'll play
But I'll be back at break of day
My head upon my pillow
When I awoke, my arms were sore
I saw my mother at the door
When I looked, my face turned red
For there were feathers in my bed
THE CRUEL WAR
(Yarrow/Stookey)The
cruel war is raging
Johnny has to fight
I want to be with him from morning
till night
I want to be with him, it grieves my heart so
Won't you let
me go with you?
No, my love, no
I'll tie back my hair, men's clothing
I'll put on
I'll pass as your comrade as we march along
I'll pass as your
comrade, no-one will ever know
Won't you let me go with you?
No, my love,
no
Tomorrow is Sunday, Monday is the day
That your captain will call
you and you must obey
You captain will call you, it grieves my heart
so
Won't you let me go with you?
No, my love, no
Won't you let me
go with you?
No, my love, no
No, my love, no
No, my love,
no
DIRTY OLD TOWN
(McColl)I found
my love in the gas light glow
Dreamed a dream by the old canal
Kissed my
girl by the factory wall
Dirty old town
Dirty old town
Clouds are
drifting across the moon
Cats are prowling along their beat
Spring's a
girl in the street at night
Dirty old town
Dirty old town
I heard a
siren from the docks
Saw a train set the night on fire
Smelled the Spring
on the smokey wind
Dirty old town
Dirty old town
I'm gonna take me
a good sharp axe
Shining steel tempered in the fire
We'll chop you down
like an old dead tree
Dirty old town
Dirty old
town
DISTANT SHORES
(James
William Guercio)
Sweet soft summer nights
Dancing shadows in the
distant lights
You came for me to follow
And we kissed on distant
shores
Long quiet hours of play
Sounds of tomorrow from
yesterday
Love came for me to follow
And we kissed on distant
shores
The careful glance of children playing
Raindrops fall as if
they're saying
Quiet thoughts of you caressed by time
The breeze of
summer's gone
Whispered memories as nights grow long
You came for me to
follow
And we kissed on distant shores
DONNA, DONNA
(Secunda/Zeitlein/Secunda)On a wagon
bound for market
There's a calf with a mournful eye
High above him there's
a swallow
Winging swiftly through the sky
How the winds are
laughing
They laugh with all their might
Laugh and laugh the whole day
through
And half the summer's night
Donna, donna, donna,
donna
Donna, donna, donna, don
Donna, donna, donna, donna
Donna, donna,
donna, don
Stop complaining, said the farmer
Who told you a calf to
be?
Why don't you have wings to fly with
Like the swallow so proud and
free?
How the winds are laughing
They laugh with all their might
Laugh
and laugh the whole day through
And half the summer's night
Donna,
donna, donna, donna etc.
Calves are easily bound and slaughtered
Never
knowing the reason why
But whoever treasures freedom
Like the swallow has
learned to fly
How the winds are laughing
They laugh with all their
might
Laugh and laugh the whole day through
And half the summer's
night
Donna, donna, donna, donna etc.
DON'T GET AROUND MUCH ANYMORE
(Ellington/Russell)
Missed the Saturday dance
Heard they cried at the floor
Couldn't bear it without you
Don't get around much anymore
Thought I'd visit the club
Got as far as the door
Thought they'd ask me about you
Don't get around much anymore
Been invited on dates
Could have gone but what for
Awfully different without you
Don't get around much anymore
DON'T LOOK BACK
(Jeremy Clyde/Dave Pierce)
Don't look back over your shoulder
Down the dusty trail
It's only yesterday's mail
Don't look back when the track is firm
And the going fast
There's nothing back there but the past
Don't look back unless you want a load of bad news
Nothing back there but the blues
You can't put back the clock, or stop a waterfall
Someone stacked the deck; no-one wins them all
You can't put back the clock, or stop a speeding train
She won't come back to you; you can't go home again
Don't look back
Don't look back
Don't look back
You'll never know
Who's waiting up at the pass
Keep your foot on the gas
Don't look back - you never know
It's bad for the nerves
Watch yourself on the curves
Don't look back unless you want a load of bad news
Nothing back there but the blues
You can't put back the clock, or stop a waterfall
Someone stacked the deck; no-one wins them all
You can't put back the clock, or stop a speeding train
She won't come back to you; you can't go home again
Don't look back
Don't look back
Don't look back
DON'T MAKE ME DO IT
(Stuart/Clyde)
Where are you baby?
Tell me where you're
calling from
I know that you're not alone
All I gotta do is call your
home
To find you're lyin'
Don't make me do it baby
Don't make me do
it child
Who's with you baby?
Tell me, is it anyone I
know?
It's no use trying to pretend
You know I'll find out, find out in
the end
If you're lyin'
Don't make me do it baby
Don't make me do it
child
You only do it 'cause you know I'll forgive you
Only do it 'cause you know I'll stay with you
But baby, I wouldn't mind
if you tell me
Tell me where you're going 'stead of
Telling me lies
One day you're gonna get a big surprise when I say
Bye bye baby
Had
about all that I can stand
Now I'm gonna hang up the phone
From here on
in child, you're on your own
Because it's over
You made me do it baby
You made me do it child
(Oh, oh, look what you've done)
You made me
do it baby, yes you did
You made me do it child
DON'T THINK TWICE (IT'S ALL
RIGHT)
(Bob Dylan)
Ain't no use to sit and wonder
why babe
If you don't know by now
Ain't no use to sit and wonder why
babe
It'll never do somehow
When your rooster crows at the break of
dawn
Look out your window and I'll be gone
You're the reason I'm
travellin' on
Don't think twice - it's all right
Ain't no use in
turnin' on your light babe
That light I never knowed
Ain't no use in
turnin' on your light babe
I'm on the dark side of the road
Still I wish
there was something you could do or say
To try to make me change my mind and
stay
We never did too much talking anyway
Don't think twice - it's all
right
It ain't no use in calling out my name girl
Like you never did
before
It ain't no use in calling out my name girl
I can't hear you any
more
I'm thinkin' and a'wonderin', walkin' down the road
I once loved a
woman, a child I am told
I gave her my heart, but she wanted my soul
Don't
think twice - it's all right
So long, honey baby
Where I'm bound I
can't tell
Goodbye is too good a word babe
So I'll just say fare thee
well
Now I ain't saying you treated me unkind
You could've done better,
but I don't mind
All you did was waste my precious time
Don't think twice
- it's all right
DREAMS
(Chad Stuart)
Where do dreams go
When they're dreamed up and gone?
When it's over
Are you still holding on?
You picture yourself in another time
Like a fool, you left it all behind
You held it in your hand
Like a little bird
But love has flown away
When you see her
You never let on
You're a joker
And she plays along
You picture yourself on another day
Like a fool, you let it slip away
You held it in your hand
Like a little bird
But love has flown away
Look into my eyes and see
Do you recognize the one who loves you?
Stay a while and talk to me
Pity the fool who's always thinking of you
But no matter what you say
Her eyes are far away
Can't you see it's too late
Too late
GO
TO
