Billy Bragg - Leroy Stubb's Tears
With the money from her accident
She bought herself a mobile home
So at least she could get some enjoyment
Out of being alone
No one could say that she was left up on the shelf
It's you and me against the World kid she mumbled to herself
When the world falls apart some things stay in place
Levi Stubbs' tears run down his face
She ran away from home with her mother's best coat
She was married before she was even entitled to vote
And her husband was one of those blokes
The sort that only laughs at his own jokes
The sort that war takes away
And when there wasn't a war he left her anyway
Norman Whitfield and Barratt Strong
Are here to make right everything that's wrong
Holland and Holland and Lamont Dozier too
Are here to make it all okay with you
One dark night he came home from the sea
And put a hole in her body where no hole should be
It hurt her more to see him walking out the door
And though they stitched her back together they left her heart in pieces on the
floor
When the world falls apart some things stay in place
She takes off the Four Tops tape and puts it back in its case
When the world falls apart some things stay in place
Levi Stubbs' tears...
Cat Power - Rambling Woman
Well I love you baby
But you got to understand
When the Lord made me
He made a ramblin' woman
He made me, he made me
Some folks
Some folks might say that I’m no good
That I wouldn’t settle down but if I only could
I love to see the towns go crawlin' by
There's something I’ve got to do
Before I die
I love you baby
But you got to understand
When the Lord made me
He made a ramblin' woman
He made me, He made me
Some people say
That I do just fine
Cause I hear sweet song
Moving down the line
And when that old southern train comes calling me
There's something over the hill
I just got to see
Well I love you
I love you baby
But you've got to understand
When the Lord made me
He made me
He made a ramblin' woman
He made me, He made me
Now when I'm gone
When I'm gone and at my grave you stand
Just say God called home your ramblin' woman
I love you
I love you baby
But you've got to understand
He made me, a ramblin' woman
He made me
Kenny Rankin - Haven't We Met?
I've ordered some rain for tomorrow
The sky will be sunny but wet
And out of nowhere you're suddenly there
And i say yeah pardon me haven't we met?
I've ordered some sunshine with showers
And i've got my scenery set
Right there with a thump our umbrellas gonna bump
And i say yeah yeah pardon me haven't we met?
Accidents can happen
And into one i'm gonna slide
There's a good chance to get my hands
On a little romance when two hearts collide
And i know that's just how it happened
When romeo met juliet
Somewhere i've read that old romeo said
pardon me haven't we met?
And i know that's just how it happened
When romeo met juliet
Somewhere i've read that old romeo said
pardon me oh he said pardon me
He said pardon me haven't we met?
Kenny Rankin - In The Name Of Love
What Burns And Glows Without Flame
What Is A Rose Without Any Rain
What Brings A Smile That Only Lasts A Little While
And Makes Me Cry Without Shame
Well Now How Can You Please Me
Torture And Tease Me
Do It In The Name Of Love
Don't You Know How To Be Nice
You Leave Me Without Thinkin' Twice
You're Warm Like An Oven
Only When You Want My Lovin'
Then You Go From Fire To Ice
Well Now How Can You Please Me
Torture And Tease Me
Do It In The Name Of Love
Am I Comin'
Am I Goin'
I Got No Way Of Knowin' Your Mine
You Make Me Rise And You Make Me Fall
You Make Me Stumble, Stumble, Stumble, Stumble And Fall
Baby Get With It
Come On Admit It
Whisper To Me If You Don't Really Love Me Anymore
How Can You Please Me
Torture And Tease Me
Do It In The Name Of Love
You Make Me Rise And You Make Me Fall
You Make Me Stumble, Stumble, Stumble, Stumble And Crawl
Baby Get With It
Come On Admit It
Whisper To Me If You Don't Really Love Me Anymore
How Can You Please Me
Torture And Tease Me
Do It In The Name Of Love
Do It In The Name Of Love
Do It In The Name Of Love
Do It In The Name Of Love
Do It In The Name Of Love
Do It In The Name Of Love
The late great Tommy Bolin - Gypsy Soul
We talked for hours of the travels
And all the beauty you had seen.
The south of France where the spring is beginning,
Sunset on the Thames from the village green.
We rolled on and on through the pages,
Of the books you'd taken from the shelf.
Unfamiliar faces and forgotten places,
Landscapes green and rich in wealth.
You've got a gypsy soul, and you love to wander.
Coast to coast to the Canadian border.
In the summer sun, yeah, yeah.
From my window you saw the ocean,
And all the changes that has been.
The south of France where the spring is beginning,
Sunset on the Thames from the village green.
Martha Wainwright - Bloody Motherfucking Asshole
Poetry is no place for a heart that's a whore
And I'm young & I'm strong
But I feel old & tired
Overfired
And I've been poked & stoked
It's all smoke, there's no more fire
Only desire
For you, whoever you are
For you, whoever you are
You say my time here has been some sort of joke
That I've been messing around
Some sort of incubating period
For when I really come around
I'm cracking up
And you have no idea
No idea how it feels to be on your own
In your own home
with the fucking phone
And the mother of gloom
In your bedroom
Standing over your head
With her hand in your head
With her hand in your head
I will not pretend
I will not put on a smile
I will not say I'm all right for you
When all I wanted was to be good
To do everything in truth
To do everything in truth
Oh I wish I wish I wish I was born a man
So I could learn how to stand up for myself
Like those guys with guitars
I've been watching in bars
Who've been stamping their feet to a different beat
To a different beat
To a different beat
I will not pretend
I will not put on a smile
I will not say I'm all right for you
When all I wanted was to be good
To do everything in truth
To do everything in truth
You bloody mother fucking asshole
Oh you bloody mother fucking asshole
Oh you bloody mother fucking asshole
Oh you bloody mother fucking asshole
Oh you bloody mother fucking asshole
Oh you bloody...
I will not pretend
I will not put on a smile
I will not say I'm all right for you
For you, whoever you are
For you, whoever you are
For you, whoever you are
Randy Newman - It's Money That I Love
I don't love the mountains
And I don't love the sea
And I don't love Jesus
He never done a thing for me
I ain't pretty like my sister
Or smart like my dad
Or good like my mama
It's Money That I Love
It's Money That I Love
They say that's money
Can't buy love in this world
But it'll get you a half-pound of cocaine
And a sixteen-year old girl
And a great big long limousine
On a hot September night
Now that may not be love
But it is all right
One, two
It's Money That I Love
Wanna kiss you Three, four
It's Money That I Love
Used to worry about the poor
But I don't worry anymore
Used to worry about the black man
Now I don't worry about the black man
Used to worry about the starving children of India
You know what I say about the starving children of India ?
I say, "Oh mama"
It's Money That I Love
It's Money That I Love
It's Money That I Love
