1.Claudette
(roy orbison)
I got a brand new baby
And i feel so good

I'm on my way to her house
And i'm plumb out of breath
When i see her tonight
I'm gonna squeeze her to death

And holler more, more, more

2.Train In Vain
(mick jones, joe strummer)
They say you stand by your man
Tell me something i don't understand
You said you love me and that's a fact
And then you left me, said you felt trapped
Well some things you can't explain away
But the heartache's with me to this day
Chorus:
Did you stand by me?
No not at all
Did you stand by me?
No way
All the times that we were close,
I remember these things the most
I've seen my dreams come tumbling down
I can't be happy without you around
So alone i keep the wolves at bay
And there's only one thing i can say
Chorus:
Did you stand by me?
No not at all
Did you stand by me?
No way
So explain why this must be
Did you lie when you spoke to me?
Chorus:
Hey, did you stand by me?
No not at all
Did you stand by me?
No way
I got a job but it don't pay
I need new clothes, somewhere to stay
Hey without these things i can do
But without your love i can't make it through
But if you don't understand my point of view
Then there's not a damn thing i can do
Chorus:
Did you stand by me?
No not at all
Did you stand by me?
No way
Did you stand by me?
No not at all
Did you stand by me?
No way
3.Tired Of Waiting For You
(raymond douglas davies)
Chorus:
I'm so tired, tired of waiting
Tired of waiting for you
I'm so tired, tired of waiting
Tired of waiting for you
I was a lonely soul
I had nobody till i met you
But you keep a me waiting
All of the time what can i do?
It's your life you can do what you want
Do what you like
But please don't keep a me waiting
Please don't keep a me waiting
Chorus:
I'm so tired, tired of waiting
Tired of waiting for you
I'm so tired, tired of waiting
Tired of waiting for you
It's your life and you can do what you want
Do what you like
But please don't keep a me waiting
Please don't keep a me waiting
Chorus:
I'm so tired, tired of waiting
Tired of waiting for you
I'm so tired, tired of waiting
Tired of waiting for you
I'm so tired of waiting
So tired of waiting, waiting for you
I'm so tired, so tired of waiting for you
I'm so tired of waiting for you
So tired
4.Good Time Charlie's Got The Blues
(danny o'keefe)
Everybody's gone away,
Said they're movin' to l.a.
There's not a soul i know around,
Everybody's leavin' town
Some caught a freight, some caught a plane
Said find the sunshine leave the rain
They say this town will waste your time
Guess they're right -- it's wasting mine
Chorus:
Some gotta win, some gotta lose
Good time charlie's got the blues
Good time charlie's got the blues
Y'know my heart keeps tellin' me
You're not a kid at 33
Y'play around y'lose your wife,
Y'play too long, you lose your life
Got my pills t'ease the pain,
Can't find a thing to stop the rain
I'd love t'try and settle down,
But everybody's leavin' town
Chorus:
Some gotta win, some gotta lose
Good time charlie's got the blues
Good time charlie's got the blues
Good time charlie's got the blues
Got the blues, got the blues
Got the blues, got the blues
Good time charlie's got the blues
5.Baby Don't Go
(sonny bono)
She never had a mother,
She hardly knew her dad
She's been in town for 18 years,
And i'm the only boy she's had
Chorus:
Oh baby don't go
Pretty baby please don't go
I love you so
Pretty baby don't go
I never had no money,
I bought at the second hand store
The way this old town laughs at me
I just can't take it no more
Said she can't stay
She's gonna be a lady someday
Chorus:
Oh baby don't go
Pretty baby please don't go
I love you so
Pretty baby don't go
When she gets to the city
Her tears will all be dry
My eyes will look so pretty,
No one's gonna know i cried
She's goin' away
Hey maybe she'll come back someday
Chorus:
Oh baby don't go
Pretty baby please don't go
I love you so
Pretty baby don't go
Oh baby don't go
Pretty baby please don't go
I love you so (i love you so)
Oh, pretty baby please don't go (i won't go, no no no)
Hey baby, oh baby, please baby don't go
(well i won't go, no)
Pretty baby please don't go
(i won't go, no)
6.Playboy
(r. bateman, g. horton, w. stevenson, b. holland)
They call me a playboy
As i'm making my rounds
Chasing the bright light
Of each night spot in town
Thought i never show it,
My heart's breaking in two
They call me a playboy
But i'm just lonesome for you
I once had a real love
That was when i had you
Now i'll never feel love
With somebody new
This false front i'm wearing
Is just to cover my blues
They call me a playboy
But i'm just lonesome for you
7.Wichita Lineman
(jimmy webb)
I am a lineman for the county
And i drive the main road
Searchin' in the sun
For another overload
I hear you singin' in the wires
I can hear you through the whine
And the wichita lineman
Is still on the line.
I know i need a small vacation
But it don't look like rain
And if it snows that stretch down south
Will never stand the strain
And i need you more than want you
And i want you for all time
And the wichita lineman
Is still on the line.
And i need you more than want you
And i want you for all time
And the wichita lineman
Is still on the line.
Still on the line.
Still on the line.
And the wichita lineman
Is still on the line.
Still on the line.
8.Here Comes The Night
(bert berns)
I can see her right out my window
Walkin' on the street, my girl with another guy
His arms around her like it used to be with me
Hey man, it makes me want to die
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Here it comes
Here comes the night
Here comes the night
Whoa, whoa, whoa, yeah
There they go it's funny how they look so good together
Wonder what is wrong with me
Why can't i accept the fact that she's chosen him
And simply let them be
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Here it comes
Here comes the night
Here comes the night
Whoa, whoa, whoa, yeah
Oh, she's with him, he's turning out the lights
And now he's holding her the way i used to do
I can see her closing her eyes and telling the lies
Exactly like she told me too
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Here it comes
Here comes the night
Here comes the night
Whoa, whoa, whoa, yeah
Here it comes
Here comes the night
Here it comes
Here comes the night
Here it comes
Here comes the night
Here it comes
Oh, here comes the night
9.The Last Time
(mick jagger, keith richards)
Well, i told you once and i told you twice
But you never listened to my advice
You don't try very hard to please me
With what you know it should come easy
Chorus:
Well this could be the last time
This could e the last time
Maybe the last time
I don't know oh, no
I'm sorry girl but i can't stay
Feelin' like i do today
It's too much pain and too much sorrow
Guess i'll feel the same tomorrow
Chorus:
Well this could be the last time
This could be the last time
Maybe the last time
I don't know oh no, oh no, oh no
Well this could be the last time
This could be the last time
Maybe the last time
I don't know oh no, oh no
Well, i told you once and i told you twice
That someone will have to pay the price
But here's a chance to change your mind
'cause i'll be gone a long, long time
Chorus:
Well this could be the last time
This could be the last time
Maybe the last time
I don't know oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no
Well this could be the last time
This could be the last time
Maybe the last time
I don't know
10.Things We Said Today
(john lennon, paul mccartney)
You say you will love me
If i have to go
You'll be thinking of me
Somehow i will know
Someday when i'm lonely
Wishing you weren't so far away
Then i will remember
Things we said today
You say you'll be mine, girl
'til the end of time
Well, these days, such a kind, girl
Seems so hard to find
Someday when we're dreaming
Deep in love not a lot to say
Then we will remember
Things we said today
Me, i'm just a lucky guy
Love to hear you say that love is love
And though we may be blind
Love is here to stay and
That's enough to make you mine, girl
Be the only one
Love me all the time, girl
We'll go on and on
Someday when we're dreaming
Deep in love not a lot to say
Then we will remember
Things we said today
Me, i'm just a lucky guy
Love to hear you say that love is love
And though we may be blind
Love is here to stay and that's enough
To make you mine, girl
Be the only one
Love me all the time, girl
We'll go on and on
Someday when we're dreaming
Deep in love not a lot to say
Then we will remember
Things we said today
11.North To Alaska
(mike phillips)
North to alaska
Go north, the rush is on
Big sam left seattle in the year of ninety two
With george pratt, his partner and brother billy, too
They crossed the yukon river and found the bonanza gold
Beneath that old white mountain, just a little southeast of nome
Sam crossed the majestic mountains
To the valleys far below
He talked to his team of huskies
As he mushed on through the snow
With the northern lights runnin' wild
In the land of the midnight sun
Yes sam mccord was a mighty man
In the year of nineteen-one
Where the river is windin'
Big nuggets they're findin'
North to alaska
Go north, the rush is on
Where the river is windin'
Big nuggets they're findin'
North to alaska
Go north, the rush is on
North to alaska
Go north, the rush is on
George turned to sam with his gold in his hand
Said, 'sam, you're lookin' at a lonely, lonely man
I'd trade all the gold that's buried in this land
For one small band of gold to place on sweet jenny's hand
'cause a man needs a woman to love him all the time
You know sam, a true love is so hard to find
I'd build for my jenny a honeymoon home
Beneath that old white mountain
Just a little southeast of nome.'
Where the river is windin'
Big nuggets they're findin'
North to alaska
Go north, the rush is on
North to alaska
Go north, the rush in on
North to alaska
Go north, the rush is on
Way up north
North to alaska
Go north, the rush is on
North to alaska
Go north, the rush is on
Way up north
Way up north
North to alaska
Go north, the rush is on
North to alaska
Go north, the rush is on
