Amazing Grace (Talula UK Pt. 1 Single)


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.

'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear.
And grace my fears relieved:
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed!

Through many dangers, toils and snares
I have already come;
'Tis grace has brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.

The Lord has promised good to me.
His word my hope secures;
He will my sheild and portion be
As long as life endures.

Yes, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess within the veil
A life of joy and peace.

When I've been there ten thousand years,
Bright shining as the sun,
I've no less days to sing God's praise
Than when I first begun.



Ring My Bell (Ruby Trax Compilation)

 
Originally sung by Anita Ward
 

I'm glad you're home
I bet you really missed me
I guess you did by the look in your eye
Lay back and relax
I put away the dishes
Then you and me can rock-a-bye
 
You can Ring my Bell
Ring my Bell
['cause baby you]
You can Ring my Bell
Ring my Bell
 
The night is young
and full of possibilities
Come on and let yourself be yourself
[yourself be free]
My love for you so long I've been saving
Tonight was made for me and you
 
You can Ring my Bell
Ring my Bell
['cause baby you]
You can Ring my Bell
Ring my Bell
 
anything you like
come on, yeah
I'm getting over my falling clover
 
there was a time, I said to you
there was a time, I said to you
when I'm with him, do it to you
do it to you, do it, you know
 
You can Ring my Bell
Ring my Bell
 
 
Angie (Crucify EP)
 

Words and Music by Jagger, Richards (The Rolling Stones)

 
Angie, Angie
when will those clouds all disappear
Angie, Angie
where will it lead us from here
with no loving in our soul
and no money in our coats
you can say were satisfied
Angie, Angie
you can't say we never tried
Angie, you're beautiful
but ain't it time we said goodbye
all the dreams we held so close
seemed to all go up in smoke
let me whisper in your ear
Angie, Angie
where will it lead us from here
with no loving in our souls
and no money in our coats
you could say we're satisfied
oh Angie, I still love you baby
everywhere I look I see your eyes
there's not another woman
that ever comes close to you
dry those tears from your eyes
here...
Angie, Angie
you can't say we never tried
Angie, Angie
I still love you
but ain't it time we said goodbye
 
 

Smells Like Teen Spirit (Crucify EP)

 
Words and Music by Kurt Cobain

 
Load up on guns
bring your friends
it's fun to lose and to pretend
she's overbored and self-assured
oh no, I know a dirty word
hello, hello, hello, hello
hello hello
I'm worst at what I do best
and for this gift I feel blessed
our little group has always been
and always will be until the end
hello, hello, hello, hello
hello hello
with the lights out it's less dangerous
here we are now, entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
here we are now, entertain us
yes
hello
hello, hello
with the lights out it's less dangerous
here we are now, entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
here we are now, entertain us
yes, a mulatto
an albino
a mosquitto
my libido
a denial
a denial
a denial
a denial
yes
a denial
 
 

Thank You (Crucify EP)

 
Words and Music by Robert Plant, Jimmy Page

 
If the sun refused to shine
I would still be loving you
mountains crumble to the sea
there would still be you and me
kind woman, i give you my all
kind woman, nothing more
 
Little drops of rain
whipser all the pain
tears of loves lost and the days gone by
if our love is strong
then there is no wrong
together we shall go until we die
inspiration is what you are to me
inspiration, love to see
 
if the sun refused to shine
I would still be loving you
mountains crumble to sea
there would still be
you
you, babe
and me
 
 

A Case Of You (Cornflake Girl UK Limited Edition Single)

 
Words and Music by Joni Mitchell

 
Just before our love got lost you said,
"I am as constant as the northern star."
and I said, "Constantly in the darkness
where's that at?
if you want me I'll be in the bar."
on the back of a cartoon coaster
in the blue T.V. screen light
I drew a map of Canada
oh Canada
with your face sketched on it twice.
 
In my blood like holy wine
you taste so bitter and so sweet
well, I could drink a case of you, darling
and I would still be on my feet
I would still be on my feet.
 
Oh I am a lonely painter
I live in a box of paints
I'm frightened by the devil
and I'm drawn to those ones that ain't afraid.
I remember that time you told me
"Love is touching souls"
surely you touched mine
'cause part of you pours out of me
in these lines from time to time.
 
My blood
my holy wine
tastes so bitter and so sweet
well I could drink a case of you, darling
and I would still be on my feet
I would still be on my feet
 
I met a woman
she had a mouth like yours
she knew your devils and your deeds
and she said, "Go to him, stay with him
but be prepared to bleed"
 
My blood
my holy wine
tastes so bitter and so sweet
well I could drink a case of you, darling
and I would still be on my feet
I would still be on my feet

 
 
If 6 Was 9 (Cornflake Girl UK Limited Edition Single)

 
Words and Music by Jimi Hendrix

 
If the sun refused to shine
I don't mind
I don't mind
 
If the mountains fell in the sea
Let it be
It ain't me
 
Got my own world to live through
Ain't gonna come near you
 
If a 6 turned out to be 9
I don't know how
I don't mind
 
If the hippies cut off their hair
I don't care
I don't care
 
I've got my own world to live through
Ain't gonna come near you
 
If the sun refused to shine...
 
What child is this...
What child is this...
What child is this...
What child is this...
What child is this...
What child is this...
What child is this...
What child is this...
What child is this...?
 
 

Strange Fruit (Cornflake Girl UK Limited Edition Single)

 
Originally sung by Billie Holiday
Words and music by Lewis Allen

 
Southern trees bear strange fruit
Blood on the leaves
Blood at the root
Black bodies swinging in the southern breeze
Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees
Pastoral scene of the gallant south
The bulging eyes and the twisted mouth
The scent of magnolia sweet and fresh
Then the sudden smell of burning flesh
Here is a fruit for the crows to pluck
for the rain to gather
for the wind to suck
for the sun to rot
for the tree to drop
Here is a strange and bitter crop
 
 

Losing My Religion (Higher Learning Soundtrack)

 
Words and Music by R.E.M.

 
me, me...
me in the corner
me in the spotlight
losing my religion
thought that I heard you laughing
thought that I heard you sing
I think I saw you try
consider this
consider the lengths that I would go to
the slip that brought me to my knees
and I don't know if I can do it
oh no I said too much

I set it up
thought that I heard you laughing
thought that I heard you sing
life is bigger
bigger than you and you are not me
the lengths that I would go to
hey, I said too much
I set it up
I think I saw you try
it's me, me...
me in the corner
losing my religion
trying to keep an eye on you
and I don't know if I can do it
oh no, I said too much
I set it up
thought that I heard you laughing
thought that I heard you sing
losing my...
it's me
it's me...
can't you see

London Girls (Talula US Maxi Single)

 
Words and Music by Chas & Dave

 
Some people sing about Deutsch(e) girls
and girls from California
they might be alright for a night alright
but I don't trust them I warn ya
I've been to the east and I've been out west
and I've been the world around
but I ain't seen no one anywhere near
a girl from London town
 
Give me a London Girl every time
I've got to find one
I've made up my mind
give me a London Girl every time
I want a London Girl
 
Marry a girl from London town
you know that you can trust her
she'll darn your socks
and wash you everytime your trousers won't bust 'em (?) yes
they're all good cooks
and they've got good looks
and they won't lead you down
said I gotta find a London Girl
if I ever get to have a chance
 
Oh give me a London Girl every time
I've got to find one
I've made up my mind
give me a London Girl every time
I want a London Girl
 
London Girls are the best in the world
there ain't no doubt about it
If you can't find a girl from La-London town
you're better off doin' without it
they don't create (?) when you come home late
and you're crawlin' up the passage floor
they won't mock about you
when you're going out with
the geezer from the house next door
 
give me a London Girl every time
I've got to find one
I've made up my mind
I said honey give me a London Girl babe
every little day
your legs turn to jelly
and I got a little smelly
but I know it's just what I want
 
cause I need a London Girl, oh, every time
they've always got a pound
to buy their round
when it's their turn at the bar
 
 
 
That's What I Like Mick (The Sandwich Song) (Caught A Lite Sneeze US Maxi Single)
 

Words and Music by Chas & Dave

 
Cheese and onion sandwiches and Derby chinaware
fiddles and jigs and boogie my dog, Auntie Vee having a swear
taking my dad for a pint or two, a sunday morning stroll
licorice pipes and baggy suits, Glen Hoddle scoring a goal
catching a pike and riding my bike, old wooden wheels and a bowl of eels
 
yes, that's what I like boy
that's what I like
 
pie and mash and liquor, walking about in the rain
William books and comical looks, pianos trams and trains
coals and cockles and thunder storms, a place on the [wallace and ow](?)
grandfather clocks and coke and brandy
fountain pens and Beano and Dandy
 
that's what I like
I said, that's what I like
 
little pubs out in the country, mother pearl and Barnet Faire
the sound of the banjo barbershop singing and having a kip in the chair
burning toast a beer from the wood and old terry thomas' teeth
Jerry and Chet and Cannon & Ball, a banjo picking bill keith
and old bungalows wood burning stoves
and Shirley MacLaine and Petticoat Lane
 
that's what I like,
said that's what I like
yes, boy
yes that's just a...
 
bubble and squeak and jumble sales, Little Richard and Jerry Lee
bonfire night and Southend nights, paddle in the sea
polished brass and copper, salvation army bands
violins and old coach inns, and colored elastic bands
tea in the morning and winter beginning
fishing rods and frogs and spurs and winning years
 
that's what I like
hey, that's what I like
 
decorations off in the bases, going down hopping in Kent
a new pair of braces little kids faces sleeping under the tin
and wagons chickens and picking blackberries and swallows and sledges
and Devon and jerries and haddock and trotters horses and knickers
and cider and celery and banjoes and kippers
yeah, that's I like boy
that's what I like
 
 
Famous Blue Raincoat (Tower Of Song - The Songs Of Leonard Cohen)
 

Words and Music by Leonard Cohen
 

It's four in the morning, the end of December
I'm writing you now just to see if you're better
New York is cold but I like where I'm living
There's music on Clinton Street all through the evening.
I hear that you're building your little house deep in the desert
you're living for nothing now
I hope you're keeping some kind of a record
 
Yes and Jane came by with a lock of your hair
she said that you gave it to her
that night that you planned to go clear
did you ever go clear?
 
the last time I saw you, you looked so much older
your famous blue raincoat was torn at the shoulder
you'd been to the station to meet every train
you came home alone without Lili Marlene.
and you treated my woman to flake of your life
and when she came back she was nobody's wife
 
well, I see you there with a rose in your teeth
one more thin gypsy thief
well, I see Jane's awake
she sends her regards.
 
and what can I tell you my brother, my killer
what can I possiby say
I guess that I miss you, I guess I forgive you
I'm glad you stood in my way.
if you ever come by here for Jane or for me
well, your enemy is sleeping and your woman is free
 
yes, and thanks for the trouble you took from her eyes
I thought it was there for good so I never tried.
 
and Jane came by with a lock of you hair
she said that you gave it to her
that night that you planned to go clear
sincerely, L. Cohen


I'm On Fire (VH1 Crossroads)


Original by Bruce Springsteen


Hey little girl is your daddy home
Did he go away and leave you all alone
I got a bad desire
I'm on fire

Tell me now baby is he good to you
Can he do to you the things that I do
I can take you higher
I'm on fire

Sometimes it's like someone took a knife baby
edgy and dull and cut a six-inch valley
through the middle of my soul

At night I wake up with the sheets soaking wet
and a freight train running through the
middle of my head
Only you can cool my desire
I'm on fire


Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas (Spark UK Pt. 1)


Have yourself a Merry little Christmas
Let your heart be light
From now on our troubles will be out of sight

Have yourself a Merry little Christmas
Make the yuletide gay
From now on our troubles will be miles away

Here we are as in olden days
Happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more

Through the years we all will be together
If the fates allow
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough
And, have yourself a Merry little Christmas,
now.



Do It Again (UK Limited Edition Single)


Original by Becker/Fagan


In the mornin' you go gunnin'
For the man who stole your water
And you fire 'till he is done in
But they catch you at the border
And the mourners are all singin'
As they drag you by your feet
But the hangman isn't hangin'
And they put you on the street

Let's go.

Chorus:

Well you know she's no high climber
Then you find your only friend
In a room with your two timer
And you're sure you're at the end
Then you love a little wild one
But she brings you only sorrow
All the time you know she's smilin'
You'll be on your knees tomorrow

Chorus:
You go back, Jack
You go back
Do it again
Wheel's turnin' round
and round
You go back Jack
Do it again

Now your swear and kick and beg us
That you're not a gambling man
then you find you're back in Vegas
With a handle in your hand
Your black cards can make you money
So you hide them when you're able
In the land of milk and honey
You must put them on the table

You go back, Jack
Do it again
wheel turning round and round
back you go
come on to me
wheel turning round
beautifully
wheel turning round
