All That You
Dream
(Little Feat)
(Live with The Fabbies)
Chorus:
I've been down, but not like this before
Can't be 'round this kind of show no more
All, all that you dream
Comes through shining silver lining
Clouds, clouds change the scene
Rain starts washing all these cautions
Right into your life, makes you realise
Just what is true, what else can you do
You just follow the rule
Keep your eyes on the road that's ahead of you
Chorus
All of the good, good times were ours
In the land of milk and honey
And time, time adds it's scars
Rainy days they turn to sunny ones
Living the life, living the life loving everyone
Chorus

All You Need is
Love
(John Lennon and Paul McCartney)
(The Fabbies: Let's
Hear it For the Little Fella)
Love, love, love.
Love, love, love.
Love, love, love.
There's nothing you can do that can't be
done.
Nothing you can sing that can't be sung.
Nothing you can say but you can learn how to play the game.
It's easy.
Nothing you can make that can't be made.
No one you can save that can't be saved.
Nothing you can do but you can learn how to be you in time.
It's easy.
Chorus:
All you need is love.
All you need is love.
All you need is love, love.
Love is all you need.
Nothing you can know that isn't known.
Nothing you can see that isn't shown.
Nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be.
It's easy.
Chorus
She loves you, yeah yeah yeah.
She loves you, yeah yeah yeah.

Almost Every
Circumstance
(Colum Sands)
(Live)
The first time that I met my love was on a
Monday morning
And the second time I met my love was a Tuesday afternoon.
I kissed her on a Wednesday and I couldn't wait till Thursday
But I can tell you now, my boys, that Thursday never came.
Chorus:
For seven days are in a week in almost every circumstance
Four seasons tell a year, that's what we learned at school.
But you never count your chickens when you're dealing with a pretty maid
For many a wise man went to sleep to wakin' up a fool.
My love, she take the winter time and turn
it into spring time.
My love, she take the barren land and bring it into bloom.
I waited through the spring time just to take a walk in summer time
But I can tell you now, my boys, that summer never came.
Chorus

And the
Healing
Has Begun
(Van Morrison)
(Drunk in Public)
(Tabs)
And we'll walk down the avenue again
And we'll sing all the songs from way back when
And we'll walk down the avenue again and the healing has begun
And we'll walk down the avenue in style
And we'll walk down the avenue and we'll smile
And we'll say baby ain't it all worthwhile when the healing has begun
I want you to put on your pretty summer
dress
You can wear your Easter bonnet and all the rest
And I wanna make love to you yes, yes, yes when the healing has begun
When you hear the music ringin' in your soul
And you feel it in your heart and it grows and grows
And it comes from the backstreet rock & roll and the healing has
begun
I want you to put on your pretty summer
dress
You can wear your Easter bonnet and all the rest
And I wanna make love to you yes, yes, yes and the healing has begun
We're gonna make music underneath the stars
We're gonna play to the violin and the two guitars
We're gonna sit there and play for hours and hours when the healing has
begun
(Spoken:)Wait a minute, listen, listen,
I didn't know you stayed up so late.
I just got home from a gig and I saw
you standing on the street.
Just let me move on up to this window-sill a lot yeah, I got some
sherry.
You want a drop of port.
Let's move behind this door here.
Let's move on up behind this letter-box behind this door.
Let's go in your front room,
let's play this Muddy Waters record you got there,
if you just open up a little bit
and let me ease on in this backstreet jellyroll....
We're gonna stay out all night long
And then we're gonna go out and roam across the field
Baby you know how I feel when the healing has begun
When the healing, when the healing
We're gonna stay out all night long
We're gonna dance to the rock & roll
When the healing when the healing has begun
Baby just let me ease on a little bit, dig this backstreet jellyroll

The Auld
Triangle
(Brendan Behan)
(Live with the Oysterband)
A hungry feeling, came o'er me stealing
And the mice they were squealing in my prison cell
And that auld triangle, went jingle jangle
All along the banks of the Royal Canal.
Oh to start the morning, the warden bawling
Get up out of bed you, and clean out your cell
And that auld triangle, went jingle jangle
All along the banks of the Royal Canal.
Oh the screw was peeping and the lag was
sleeping
As he lay weeping for his girl Sal
And that auld triangle, went jingle jangle
All along the banks of the Royal Canal.
On a fine spring evening, the lag lay
dreaming
And the seagulls were wheeling high above the wall
And that auld triangle, went jingle jangle
All along the banks of the Royal Canal.
Oh the wind was sighing, and the day was
dying
As the lag lay crying in his prison cell
And that auld triangle, went jingle bloody jangle
All along the banks of the Royal Canal.
In the female prison there are seventy women
And I wish it was with them that I did dwell
And that auld triangle, went jingle jangle
All along the banks of the Royal Canal.

Blind Willie
McTell
(Bob Dylan)
(Live)
Seen the arrow on the doorpost
Saying, This land is condemned
All the way from New Orleans To Jerusalem.
I traveled through East Texas
Where many martyrs fell
And I know no one can sing the blues
Like Blind Willie McTell
Well, I heard the hoot owl singing
As they were taking down the tents
The stars above the barren trees
Were his only audience
Them charcoal gypsy maidens
Can strut their feathers well
But nobody can sing the blues
Like Blind Willie McTell
See them big plantations burning
Hear the cracking of the whips
Smell that sweet magnolia blooming
see the ghosts of slavery ships
I can hear them tribes a-moaning
hear the undertakers bell
Yeah, nobody can sing the blues
Like Blind Willie McTell
There's a woman by the river
With some fine young handsome man
He's dressed up like a squire
Bootlegged whiskey in his hand
There's a chain gang on the highway
I can hear them rebels yell
And I know no one can sing the blues
Like Blind Willie McTell
Well, God is in heaven
And we all want what's his
But power and greed and corruptible seed
Seem to be all that there is
I'm gazing out the window
Of the St. James Hotel
And I know no one can sing the blues
Like Blind Willie McTell

Bohemian Rhapsody
(Queen)
(Live with The Fabbies)
Mama, I just killed a man
Put a gun against his head
Pulled my trigger, now he's dead
Mama, life had just begun
But now I've gone and thrown it all away
Mama, ooo
Didn't mean to make you cry
If I'm not back again this time tomorrow
Carry on, carry on, as if nothing really matters
Too late, my time has come
Sends shivers down my spine
Body's aching all the time
Goodbye everybody - I've got to go
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth
Mama, ooo
I don't want to die
I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all
I see a little silhouetto of a man
Scaramouch, scaramouch will you do the fandango
Thunderbolt and lightning - very very frightening me
Gallileo, Gallileo,
Gallileo, Gallileo,
Gallileo Figaro - magnifico
But I'm just a poor boy and nobody loves me
He's just a poor boy from a poor family
Spare him his life from this monstrosity
Easy come easy go - will you let me go
Bismillah! No - we will not let you go - let him go
Bismillah! We will not let you go - let him go
Bismillah! We will not let you go - let me go
Will not let you go - let me go (never)
Never let you go - let me go
Never let me go - ooo
No, no, no, no, no, no, no -
Oh mama mia, mama mia, mama mia let me go
Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me
For me, for me
So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye
So you think you can love me and leave me to die
Oh baby - can't do this to me baby
Just gotta get out - just gotta get right outta here
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah
Nothing really matters
Anyone can see
Nothing really matters - nothing really matters to me
Anyway the wind blows...

Born to Be Wild
(Steppenwolf)
(Live with The Fabbies)
Get your motor running
Head out on the highway
Looking for adventure
In whatever comes our way
Yeah, darling, gonna make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once
And explode into space
I like smoke and lightning
Heavy metal thunder
Racing in the wind
And the feeling that I'm under
Yeah, darling, gonna make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once
And explode into space
Chorus:
Like a true nature child
We were born
Born to be wild
We can climb so high
I never wanna die
Born to be wild
Born to be wild
Get your motor running ...
Yeah, darling, gonna make it happen

Carrickfergus
(Traditional)
(Live)
I wished I had you in Carrickfergus,
Only for nights in Ballygrand,
I would swim over the deepest ocean,
The deepest ocean to be by your side.
But the sea is wide and I can't swim over
And neither have I wings to fly.
I wish I could find me a handy boatman
To ferry me over to my love and die.
My childhood days bring back sad reflections
Of happy days spent so long ago.
My boyhood friends and my own relations
Have all passed on like the melting snow.
So I'll spend my days in endless roving,
Soft is the grass and my bed is free.
Oh to be home now in Carrickfergus
On the long road down to the salty sea.
And in Kilkenny it is reported
On marble stone there as black as ink,
With gold and silver I did support her
But I'll sing no more till I get a drink.
I'm drunk today and I'm rarely sober,
A handsome rover from town to town.
Oh but I am sick now and my days are numbered
So come all ye young men and lay me down.

Coz I Love You
(Slade)
(Live with The Fabbies)
I won't laugh at you when you boo-hoo-hoo
Coz I love you
I can turn my back on the things you lack
Coz I love you
Chorus:
I just like the things you do
Don't you change the things you do
You get me in a spot and smile the smile you
got
And I love you
You make me out a clown then you put me down
I still love you
Chorus
When you bite your lip you're gonna flip
your flip
But I love you
When we're miles apart you still reach my heart
How I love you
Chorus
Only time can tell if we get on well
Coz I love you
All that's passed us by we can only sigh hi-hi
Coz I Love you
Chorus

(The Osmonds)
(Live with The Fabbies)
There's a message floating in the air
Crazy horses riding everywhere
It's a warning, it's in every tongue
Gotta stop them crazy horses on the run
What a show, there they go smoking up the sky, yeah
Crazy horses all got riders, and they're you and I
Crazy horses
Crazy horses
Never stop and they never die
They just keep on puffin' how they multiply
Crazy horses, will they never halt?
If they keep on moving then it's all our fault
What a show, there they go smoking up the sky, yeah
Crazy horses all got riders, and they're you and I
Crazy horses
Crazy horses
So take a good look around
See what they've done
What they've done, they've done
They've done, they've done
They've done, they've done
They've done
Crazy horses

Davni Chasy (Those
Were The Days)
(Russian traditional; English lyrics by Gene Raskin)
(Drink to My Horse!)
Once upon a time there was a tavern,
Where we used to raise a glass or two.
Remember how we laughed away the hours,
And dreamed of all the great things we would do.
Chorus:
Those were the days my friend,
We'd thought they'd never end,
We'd sing and dance for-ever and a day,
We'd live the life we choose,
We'd fight and never lose,
For we were young and sure to have our way.
Lalala lah lala, lalala lah lala
Those were the days, oh yes, those were the days.
Then the busy years went rushing by us.
We lost our starry notions on the way.
If by chance I'd see you in the tavern,
We'd smile at one another and we'd say:
Chorus
Just tonight I stood before the tavern,
Nothing seemed the way it used to be.
In the glass I saw a strange reflection,
Was that lonely person really me.
Chorus
Through the door there came familiar
laughter.
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh, my friend, we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.
Chorus

Dirty Old Egg
Sucking Dog
(Johnny Cash)
(Live)
Well he's not very handsome to look at
Oh he's shaggy and he eats like a hog
And he's always killing my chickens
That dirty old egg sucking dog
Egg sucking dog
I'm gonna stomp your head in the ground
If you don't stay out of my hen house
You dirty old egg sucking hound
Now if he don't stop eating my eggs up
Though I'm not a real bad guy
I'm gonna get my rifle and send him
To that great chicken house in the sky
Egg sucking dog
You're always hanging around
But you'd better stay out of my hen house
You dirty old egg sucking hound

Don't It Make
My Brown Eyes Blue
(Crystal Gayle)
(Live with The Fabbies)
Don't know when I've been so blue
Don't know what's come over you
You've found someone new
And don't it make my brown eyes blue
I'll be fine when you're gone
I'll just cry all night long
Say it isn't true
And don't it make my brown eyes blue
Tell me no secrets, tell me some lies
Give me no reasons, give me alibis
Tell me you love me and don't let me cry
Say anything but don't say goodbye
I didn't mean to treat you bad
Didn't know just what I had
But honey now I do
And don't it make my brown eyes
Don't it make my brown eyes
Don't it make my brown eyes blue |

Everybody's Talking at Me
(Originally by Fred Neil, but the Fabbies sound like the Harry Nilsson
version)
(Live with The Fabbies)
Everybody's talking at me
I don't hear a word they're saying
Only the echoes of my mind
People stopping, staring
I can't see their faces
Only the shadows of their eyes
I'm going where the sun keeps shining
Through the pouring rain
Going where the weather suits my clothes
Banking off of the North East winds
Sailing on a summer breeze
And skipping over the ocean like a stone
(Wooh-Wooh)
I'm going where the sun keeps shining ...
Everybody's talking at me
Can't hear a word they're saying
Only the echoes of my mind
I won't let you leave my love behind
I won't let you leave my love behind
I won't let you leave my love behind

Fortune Teller
(Benny Spellman)
(Live with The Fabbies)
Went to the fortune teller
Had my fortune read
I didn't know what to tell her
I had a dizzy feeling in my head
Then she took a look at my palm
She said "Son, do you feel kind of warm?"
She looked into her crystal ball
And said "You're in love"
I said "How could that be so
Not with all the girls I know"
She said "When the next one arrives
You'll be looking into her eyes"
I left there in a hurry
Looking forward to my big surprise
The next day I discovered
That the fortune teller told me a lie
I hurried right back to that woman
As mad as I could be
I said her I didn't see nobody
Why had she made a fool out of me
Then something struck me
As if it came from up above
While looking at the fortune teller
I fell in love

Girls Girls Girls
(Sailor)
(Live with The Fabbies)
Girls girls girls
Girls girls girls
Girls girls girls
Yellow, red, black or white
Add a little bit of moonlight
For this intercontinental romance
Shy girl, sexy girl
They all like that fancy world
Champagne, a gentle song and a slow dance
Who makes it fun to spend your money
Who calls you honey
Most every day
Girls girls girls
Well they made them up in Hollyood
And put them into the movie
Those lovely photographic splendours
In and out of magazines
Miss World and beauty queens
Falling in love with the real big spenders
But although their world may be frantic
They're still romantic
In their own way.
Girls girls girls
So hop on
The world is swinging
Don't sit and twiddle your thumbs
Get up and meet those pretty girls
Step on
The world keeps swinging
Put on the dazzling charm
Get up and find those pretty girls
But don't rush
Keep it nice and gentle
And sentimental
For that certain moment
Moonlit oceans
Girls full of emotions
Stepping on that slow boat to China
And next door in Japan
They know how to please a man
Dropping in for tea with my geisha
They've got that old-fashioned feeling
When it comes to pleasing
They know their way
So hop on
The world is swinging
When you draw back the curtain
Hop on
The world is swinging
Don't sit and twiddle your thumbs
Get up and meet those pretty girls

Goldwatch Blues
(Mick Softley)
(Live)
I went out for my interview the fourth day
in July.
The personnel man questioned me till I nearly cried.
He made me fill in forms till I shook with fear
About the colour of my toilet roll and if my cousin's queer.
And he asked me how many jobs I had before
And he nearly had a heart attack when I answered "Four".
"Four jobs in twenty years, oh no! This could never be!
For we only take a man who will work until he dies."
Chorus:
Here's your goldwatch and shackles for your chain
And your piece of paper saying you left here sane.
And if you've got a son and he wants a good career
You get him to sign on a dotted line and work for fifty years.
He took me outside where the gravestones
stand in line.
"This is where we bury them in brick stone and in lime.
And if you're gonna work for us, with this you must agree
And if you're gonna die, please do it during tea."
Chorus
The story I am telling you may think rather
queer
But it is the truth, you may be surprised to hear.
For I did not want no job upon the board
I just wanted to take a broom and sweep the bloody floor!
Chorus

Heart of Gold
(Neil Young)
(Live with The Fabbies)
I want to live, I want to give
I've been a miner for a heart of gold
It's these expressions I never give
That keep me searching for a heart of gold
And I'm growing old
Keeps me searching for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old
I've been to Hollywood, I've been to Redwood
I've crossed the ocean for a heart of gold
I've been in my mind, it's such a fine line
That keeps me searching for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old
Keep me searching for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old
Keep me searching for a heart of gold
You keep me searching for a heart of gold
I've been a miner for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old

Heartbreak
Hotel
(Elvis Presley)
(Live with Red Sky Coven)
Now since my baby left me I've found a new place
to dwell
Down at the end of Lonely Street at Heartbreak Hotel
I'm so lonely, I'm so lonely
I'm so lonely that I could die
And though it's always crowded you can still find
some room
For broken hearted lovers to cry there in the gloom
And be so lonely, oh so lonely
Oh so lonely they could die
The bell hop's tears keep flowing, the desk
clerk's dressed in black
They been so long on Lonely Street they never will go back
And they're so lonely, oh they're so lonely
They're so lonely they pray to die
So if your baby leaves and you have a tale to tell
Just take a walk down Lonely Street to Heartbreak Hotel
Where you'll be lonely and I'll be lonely
We'll be so lonely that we could die

Hit the Road,
Jack
(Percy Mayfield)
(Live with Red Sky Coven)
Chorus:
Hit the road Jack and don't you come back
no more, no more, no more, no more.
Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more.
Woo! Woman, oh woman, don't treat me so
mean,
You're the meanest old woman that I've ever seen.
I guess if you said so
I'd have to pack my things and go. (That's right)
Chorus
Now baby, listen baby, don't-a treat me
this-a way
For I'll be back on my feet some day.
Don't care if you do 'cause it's understood
you ain't got no money you just ain't no good.
Well, I guess if you say so
I'd have to pack my things and go. (That's right)

Hobo
(Bob Dylan)
(Disagreement of
the People; Levellers: Zeitgeist Out-Takes)
(Tabs)
As I was out walking on a corner one day,
I spied an old hobo, in a doorway he lay.
His face was all grounded in the cold sidewalk floor
And I guess he'd been there for the whole night or more.
Chorus:
Only a hobo, but one more is gone
Leavin' nobody to sing his sad song
Leavin' nobody to carry him home
Only a hobo, but one more is gone
A blanket of newspaper covered his head,
As the curb was his pillow, the street was his bed.
One look at his face showed the hard road he'd come
And a fistful of coins showed the money he bummed.
Chorus
Does it take much of a man to see his whole life
go down,
To look up on the world from a hole in the ground,
To wait for your future like a horse that's gone lame,
To lie in the gutter and die with no name?
Chorus

Honky Cat
(Elton John)
(Live with The Fabbies)
When I look back boy I must have been green
Bopping in the country, fishing in a stream
Looking for the answers trying to find a sign
Until I saw your city lights honey I was blind
Chorus:
They said, "Get back honky cat
Better get back to the woods"
Well I quit those days and my redneck ways
And oh the change is gonna do me good
You better get back honky cat
Living in the city ain't where it's at
It's like trying to find gold in a silver mine
It's like trying to drink whisky from a bottle of wine
Well I read some books and I read some magazines
About those high class ladies down in New Orleans
And all the folks back home well, said I was a fool
They said oh, believe in the Lord is the golden rule
Chorus
They said, "Stay at home boy, you gotta tend the farm
Living in the city boy, is going to break your heart"
But how can you stay, when your heart says no
How can you stop when your feet say go
Chorus
You better get back honky cat ...
Get back honky cat, get back honky cat

How Will I Ever
Be Simple Again?
(Richard Thompson)
(Live)
Well, she danced in the street with her guns
all around her,
Torn like a rag doll, barefoot in the rain
And she sang like a child too-ra day too-ra da
Oh, and how will I ever be simple again?
Well, she stopped by the banks of the dirty
great river
And she tried for a fish with a worm on a pin
But there was nothing but fever and ghosts in the water
Oh, and how will I ever be simple again?
War was my love and my own true companion
Oh, what care I for the pretty and plain?
For her smile was so clear and my heart was so troubled
Oh, and how will I ever be simple again?
Now in her old burned-out hut I sat at her
table
The smell of her hair was like cornfields in May
And I wanted to weep but my eyes ached from trying
Oh, and how will I ever be simple again?
Oh, so graceful she moved through the dust
and the ruin
And happless she was in her dances and games
Oh won't me teach me to see with your own innocent eyes, love
Oh, and how will I ever be simple again?

Hunting Tigers
Out in "Indiah"
(Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band)
(Live with The Fabbies)
With big, hungry tigers table manners have no place
Dear dear dear no, dear dear dear no, dear dear oh dear no
After they have eaten you they never say their grace
Dear dear dear no, dear dear dear no, dear dear oh dear no
Hunting tigers can be ripping fun
Like three blind mice, see the hunters run
Chorus:
Hunting tigers out in India
Out in, out in, out in India, yuh
You all know how beastly tigers are
Out in, out in, out in India
They bite, they scratch
They make an awful fuss
It's no use stroking them and saying "puss puss puss"
Oh, hunting tigers out in India
Out in, out in, out in India, yuh
Tigers don't go out on rainy nights
They've no need to whet their appetites
Hunting tigers out in India
Out in, out in, out in India, yuh
I say, J.O., it's jolly frightening out there
€œNonsense, dear boy, you should be like me
But look at you! You're shaking all over!
€œShaking? You silly goose, I'm just doing the watusi, that's all
Chorus
They bite, they scratch ...

I Just Can't Leave
Your Love Alone
(Joe Sample and Will Jennings)
(The Fabbies: Let's
Hear it For the Little Fella)
You let me down all over town
I guess by now I should be gone
Yet, here I stand still in your hands
Cause you're the best I've ever known
Chorus:
I try and try to say good bye
I just can't leave your love alone
And after you what will I do
I just can't leave your love alone
I walk away most every day
Don't need a love that huts me so
Then every night you get it right
Until I'm moaning soft and low
Chorus

Jolene
(Dolly Parton)
(Live with Red Sky Coven)
Chorus:
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I'm begging of you please don't take my man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him just because you can
Your beauty is beyond compare
With flaming locks of auburn hair
With ivory skin and eyes of emerald green
Your smile is like a breath of spring
Your voice is soft like summer rain
And I cannot compete with you, Jolene
He talks about you in his sleep
There's nothing I can do to keep
From crying when he calls your name, Jolene
And I can easily understand
How you could easily take my man
But you don't know what he means to me, Jolene
Chorus
You could have your choice of men
But I could never love again
He's the only one for me, Jolene
I had to have this talk with you
My happiness depends on you
And whatever you decide to do, Jolene
Chorus:
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I'm begging of you please don't take my man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him even though you can
Jolene, Jolene

Keep the Car Running
(Arcade Fire)
(Live with The Fabbies)
Every night my dream's the same
Same old city with a different name
Men are coming to take me away
I don't know why, but I know I can't stay
There's a weight that's pressing down
Late at night you can hear the sound
Even the noise you make when you sleep
Can't swim across a river so deep
They know my name cause I told it to them
But they don't know where and they don't know
When it's coming, when it's coming
There's a fear I keep so deep
Knew its name since before I could speak
Aaaaah Aaaaah Aaaaah Aaaaah
They know my name cause I told it to them
But they don't know where and they don't know
When its coming, oh when but its coming
Keep the car running
If some night I don't come home
Please don't think I've left you alone
The same place animals go when they die
You can't climb across a mountain so high
The same city where I go when I sleep
You can't swim across a river so deep
They know my name cause I told it to them
But they don't know where and they don't know
When it's coming, oh when is it coming?
Keep the car running
Keep the car running
Keep the car running |

This'll be the last time I ever do your hair.
One face among the many, I never thought you cared.

Maybe This
Time
(Liza Minelli)
(Live with The Fabbies)
Maybe this time, I'll be lucky
Maybe this time, he'll stay
Maybe this time
For the first time
Love won't hurry away
He will hold me fast
I'll be home at last
Not a loser anymore
Like the last time
And the time before
Everybody loves a winner
So nobody loved me;
'Lady Peaceful,' 'Lady Happy,'
That's what I long to be
All the odds are in my favor
Something's bound to begin
It's got to happen, happen sometime
Maybe this time I'll win

Minnie the Moocher
(Cab Calloway)
(Red Sky Coven Volume 3)
Folks, now here's the story 'bout Minnie the
Moocher,
She was a red-hot hootchie-cootcher,
She was the roughest, toughest frail,
But Minnie had a heart as big as a whale.
Chorus:
Hi-de-hi-de-hi-di-hi!
Ho-de-ho-de-ho-de-ho!
He-de-he-de-he-de-he!
Ho-de-ho-de-ho!
She messed around with a bloke named Smoky,
She loved him though he was cokie,
He took her down to Chinatown,
And he showed her how to kick the gong around.
Chorus
She had a dream about the king of Sweden,
He gave her things that she was needin',
He gave her a home built of gold and steel,
A diamond car with a platinum wheel.
Chorus
He gave her his townhouse and his racing horses,
Each meal she ate was a dozen courses;
She had a million dollars worth of nickels and dimes,
She sat around and counted them all a million times.

Musical
Folk Group
(Johnny Cash (original title: The One on the Right is on the Left))
(Too Drunk in Public)
(Tabs)
There once was a musical folk group, a
picking, singing folk group
They sang mountain ballads and the folk songs of our land
They were long on musical ability, folks thought they would go far
But political incompatability led to their downfall
Chorus:
Well, the one on the right was on the left
And the one in the middle was on the right
And the one on the left was in the middle
And the guy in the rear, he was the drummer
This musical aggregation toured the entire
nation
Singing traditional ballads and the folk songs of our land
They perfomed with great virtuosity and soon they were all the rage
But political animosity prevailed upon the stage
Chorus:
Well, the one on the right was on the left
And the one in the middle was on the right
And the one on the left was in the middle
And the guy in the rear, he just kept drumming
Well, the curtain had ascended, a hush fell
upon the crowd
As thousands there were gathered to hear the folk songs of our land
But they took their politics seriously, and that night at the concert
hall
As the audience watched deliriously they had a free for all
Chorus:
And the one on the right was on the bottom
And the one in the middle was on the top
And the one on the left got a broken arm
And the guy in the rear, said "Oh dear, I must be the drummer"
Now this should be a lesson, if you plan to
start a folk group
Don't be mixing politics with the folk songs of our land
Work on harmony, diction, and play your banjo well
And if you have political convictions keep them to yourselves
Chorus:
Well the one on the right, well he works in a bank
And the one in the middle, well he drives a truck
And the guy on the left, he's an all-night DJ
And the one in the rear ....
Well the one on the right, well he works in
a bank
And the one in the middle, well he rides a truck
And the one on the left is an all-night DJ
And the guy in the rear, oh yeah, he's still drumming

The Old Laughing Lady
(Neil Young)
(Live)
Don't call pretty Peggy
She can't hear you no more
Don't leave no message
'round her back door.
They say the old laughing lady
Been here before
She don't keep time
She don't count score.
You can't have a cupboard
If there ain't no wall.
You got to move
There's no time left to stall.
They say the old laughing lady
Dropped by to call
And when she leaves
She leaves nothing at all.
See the drunkard of the village
Falling on the street.
Can't tell his ankles
From the rest of his feet.
He loves his old laughing lady
'cause her taste is so sweet.
But his laughing lady's loving
Ain't the kind he can keep.
There's a fever on the freeway
Blacks out the night.
There's a slipping on the stairway
Just don't feel right
And there's a rumbling in the bedroom
And a flashing of light
There's the old laughing lady
Everything is all right.

Psycho Killer
(Talking Heads)
(Live with The Fabbies)
I can't seem to face up to the facts
I'm tense and nervous and I can't relax
I can't sleep 'cause my bed's on fire
Don't touch me I'm a real live wire
Chorus:
Psycho Killer
Qu'est Que C'est
Fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa far better
Run run run run run run away
Psycho Killer
Qu'est Que C'est
Fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa far better
Run run run run run run away
You start a conversation you can't even finish it
You're talkin' a lot, but you're not sayin' anything
When I have nothing to say, my lips are sealed
Say something once, why say it again?
Chorus
Ce que j'ai fais, ce soir la
Ce qu'elle a dit, ce soir la
Realisant mon espoir
Je me lance, vers la gloire ... OK
We are vain and we are blind
I hate people when they're not polite

Lately things just don't seem the same

'Scuse me while I kiss the sky

Am I happy or in misery?
Whatever it is, that girl put a spell on me
Help me help me
Oh no no... no

Purple haze all in my eyes
Don't know if it's day or night
You've got me blowin, blowin my mind
Is it tomorrow or just the end of time?
No, help me aw yeah! oh no no oh help me...

Queer
(Garbage)
(Live with The
Fabbies)Queer
Hey boy, take a look at me
Let me dirty up your mind
I'll strip away your hard veneer
And see what I can find
The queerest of the queer
The strangest of the strange
The coldest of the cool
The lamest of the lame
The numbest of the dumb
I hate to see you here
You choke behind a smile
A fake behind the fear
The queerest of the queer
This is what he pays me for
I'll show you how it's done
You learn to love the pain you feel
Like father like son
The queerest of the queer
Hide inside your head
The blindest of the blind
The deadest of the dead
You're hungry cause you starve
While holding back the tears
Choking on your smile
A fake behind the fear
The queerest of the queer
I know what's good for you
You can touch me if you want
I know you're dying to
You can touch me if you want
I know what's good for you
But you can't stop
The queerest of the queer
The strangest of the strange
The coldest of the cool
The lamest of the lame
The numbest of the dumb
You're nothing special here
You choke behind a smile
A fake behind the fear
The queerest of the queer
The strangest of the strange
The numbest of the dumb
I hate to see you here
You choke behind a smile
A fake behind the fear
The queerest of the queer

Raglan Road
(Patrick Kavanagh/Traditional)
(Live)
On Raglan Road on an Autumn day,
I saw her first and I knew
That her dark hair would weave a snare
That I might one day rue;
I saw the danger, yet I walked
Along the enchanted way,
And I said, let grief be a falling leaf
At the dawning of the day.
On Grafton Street in November,
We tripped lightly along the ledge
Of the deep ravine where can be seen
The worth of passion's pledge,
The Queen of Hearts still making tarts
And I not making hay -
O I loved too much and by such, by such
Is happiness thrown away.
I gave her the gifts of the mind,
I gave her the secret sign
That's known to all the artists
Who have known true Gods of sound and time
And word and tint. I did not stint
I gave her reams of poems to say
With her own name there and her shiny dark hair
Like the clouds over fields of May.
On a quiet street where old ghosts meet
I see her walking now
Away from me so hurriedly
My reason must allow
For I have loved not as I should
A creature made of clay -
When the angel woos the clay he'd lose
His wings at the dawn of the day.

Rockin' in
the Free World
(Neil Young)
(Live)
There's colors on the street
Red, white and blue
People shufflin' in their feet
People sleepin' in their shoes
There's a warning sign on the road ahead
There's a lot of people sayin'
We'd be better off dead
Don't feel like Satan
But I am to them
So I try to forget it, any way I can
Chorus:
Keep on rockin' in the free world
I see a woman in the night
With a baby in her hand
There's an old street light
Near a garbage can
Now she puts the kid away
And she's gone to get a hit
She hates her life
And what she's done with it
There's one more kid
That will never go to school
Never get to fall in love
Never get to be cool
Chorus
We got a thousand points of lights
For the homeless man
We got a kinder, gentler, machine gun hand
We got department stores
And toilet paper
Got styrofoam boxes for the ozone layer
Got a man of the people
Says keep hope alive
Got fuel to burn
Got roads to drive
Chorus

Running Bear
(J.P. Richardson)
(Live with The Fabbies)
Ugo ugo ugo ugo
On the bank of the river stood Running Bear, young Indian brave
On the other side of the river stood his lovely Indian maid
Little White Dove was her name, such a lovely sight to see
But their tribes fought with each other, so their love could never be
Chorus:
Running Bear loved Little White Dove
With a love big as the sky
Running Bear loved Little White Dove
With a love that couldn't die
He couldn't swim the raging river 'cause the river was too wide
He couldn't reach the Little White Dove waiting on the other side
In the moonlight he could see her throwing kisses 'cross the waves
Her little heart was beating faster waiting for her Indian brave
Chorus
Running Bear dove in the water, Little White Dove did the same
And they swam out to each other through the swirling stream they came
As their hands touched and their lips met, the raging river pulled them
down
Now they'll always be together in their happy hunting ground

(Live with The Fabbies)
Santa Baby, slip a sable under the tree, For
me.
been an awful good girl, Santa baby,
so hurry down the chimney tonight.
Santa baby, a 54 convertible too,
Light blue.
I'll wait up for you dear,
Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight.
Think of all the fun I've missed,
Think of all the fellas that I haven't kissed,
Next year I could be just as good,
If you'll check off my Christmas list,
Santa baby, I wanna yacht,
And really that's not a lot,
Been an angel all year,
Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight.
Santa honey, there's one thing I really do
need,
The deed
To a platinum mine,
Santa honey, so hurry down the chimney tonight.
Santa cutie, and fill my stocking with a
duplex,
And checks.
Sign your 'X' on the line,
Santa cutie, and hurry down the chimney tonight.
Come and trim my Christmas tree,
With some decorations bought at Tiffany's,
I really do believe in you,
Let's see if you believe in me,
Santa baby, forgot to mention one little
thing,
A ring.
I don't mean on the phone,
Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight,
Hurry down the chimney tonight,
Hurry, tonight.

Siamese Twin
(Terry Radigan)
(Live with The Fabbies)
She won't go to bed when I am tired
Downs a bottle of red and is a liar
When she lights a match I blow it out
She is the cat and I am the mouse
And all night long
I'm left to right her wrongs
I kiss him goodnight
But as I close the door
She'll push me aside
And go back for more
And while I protest
She lets down her hair
I grip the rail
As she glides up the stairs
If you're ever in doubt of where's she's been
Follow the sirens follow the smoke
And there you will find my invisible
Siamese twin
On my knees
I'm begging please
But she always wins
Oh, how I fight
Every day every night
But she's got the strength of 10 men
And all night long
I'm left to right her wrongs

The Snake
(Al Wilson)
(Live with The Fabbies)
On her way to work one morning down the path along side the lake
A tender hearted woman saw a poor half frozen snake
His pretty colored skin had been all frosted with the dew
"Oh well," she cried, "I'll take you in and I'll take care of you"
Chorus:
"Take me in, oh tender woman
Take me in, for heaven's sake
Take me in, oh tender woman,"
Sighed the snake
She wrapped him up all cozy in a curvature of silk
And then laid him by the fireside with some honey and some milk
Now she hurried home from work that night as soon as she arrived
She found that pretty snake she'd taking in had been revived
Chorus
Now she clutched him to her bosom, "You're so beautiful," she cried
"But if I hadn't brought you in by now you might have died"
Now she stroked his pretty skin and then she kissed and held him tight
But instead of saying thanks, that snake gave her a vicious bite
Chorus
"I saved you," cried that woman, "and you've bit me even, why?
You know your bite is poisonous and now I'm going to die"
"Oh shut up, silly woman," said the reptile with a grin
"You knew damn well I was a snake before you took me in
Chorus |

Stand by Me
(Ben E. King)
(Live with Red Sky Coven)
When the night has come
and the land is dark
and the moon is the only light we'll see
Oh, I won't be afraid,
No I won't be afraid
Just as long as you stand by me
Chorus:
So, darling, darling,
Stand by me
Stand by me
Stand by me, stand by me, stand by me
If the sky that we look upon
Should tumble and fall
And the mountains should crumble into the sea
Oh, I won't cry, I won't cry
No, I won't shed a tear
Just as long as you stand by me

The Star of
the
County Down
(Traditional)
(Live)
Near to Banbridge Town, in the County Down
One morning in July,
Down a boreen green came a sweet colleen,
And she smiled as she passed me by;
Oh, she looked so neat from her two white feet
To the sheen of her nut-brown hair,
Sure the coaxing elf, I'd to shake myself
To make sure I was standing there
Chorus:
Oh, from Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay,
And from Galway to Dublin town,
No maid I've seen like the brown colleen
That I met in the County Down.
As she onward sped I shook my head
And I gazed with a feeling quare,
And I said, says I, to a passer-by,
"Who's the maid with the nut-brown hair?"
Oh, he smiled at me, and with pride says he,
"That's the gem of Ireland's crown,
She's young Rosie McCann from the banks of the Bann,
She's the Star of the County Down."
Chorus
I've travelled a bit, but never was hit
Since my roving career began;
But fair and square I surrendered there
To the charms of young Rose McCann.
I'd a heart to let and no tenant yet
Did I meet with in shawl or gown,
But in she went and I asked no rent
From the Star of the County Down.
Chorus
At the crossroads fair I'll be surely there
And I'll dress in my Sunday clothes
And I'll try sheep's eyes, and deludering lies
On the heart of the nut-brown Rose.
No pipe I'll smoke, no horse I'll yoke
Though with rust my plow turns brown,
Till a smiling bride by my own fireside
Sits the Star of the County Down.
Chorus

Such a Night

(The Fabbies: Let's

Such a night, it's such a night
Sweet confusion under the moonlight
Such a night, such a night
To steal away, the time is right
Your eyes caught mine and at a glance
You let me know that this was my chance
But you came here with my best friend, Jim
And here I am, tryin' to steal you away from him
Chorus:
Oh, but if I don't do it, you know somebody else will
If I don't do it, you know somebody else will
If I don't do it, you know somebody else will
If I don't do it, you know somebody else will
It is such a night, it's such a night
Sweet confusion under the moonlight
It's such a night, such a night
To steal away, the time is right
Yeah, I couldn't believe my ears and my
heart just skipped a beat
When you asked me to take you walkin' down the street
Oh yeah, you came here with my best friend, Jim
Here I am, I'm stealin' you away from him

Tecumseh Valley
(Townes Van Zandt)
(Red Sky Coven Volume 5)
The name she gave was Caroline
Daughter of a miner
Her ways were free
It seemed to me
That sunshine walked beside her
She came from Spencer
Across the hill
She said her Pa had sent her
Cause the coal was low
And soon the snow
Would turn the skies to winter
She said she'd come
To look for work
She was not seeking favors
And for a dime a day
And a place to stay
She'd turn those hands to labor
But the times were hard, lord,
The jobs were few
All through Tecumseh Valley
But she asked around
And a job she found
Tending bar at Gypsy Sallys
She saved enough to get back home
When spring replaced the winter
But her dreams were denied
Her Pa had died
The word come down from Spencer
So she turned to whorin' out on the streets
With all the lust inside her
And it was many a man
Returned again
To lay himself beside her
They found her down beneath the stairs
That led to Gypsy Sallys
In her hand when she died
Was a note that cried
Fare thee well... Tecumseh Valley
The name she gave was Caroline
Daughter of a miner
Her ways were free
It seemed to me
That sunshine walked beside her

Teenagers
(My Chemical Romance)
(Live with The Fabbies)
They're gonna clean up your looks
With all the lies in the books
To make a citizen out of you
Because they sleep with a gun
And keep an eye on you, son
So they can watch all the things you do
Because the drugs never work
They're gonna give you a smirk
'Cause they got methods of keeping you clean
They're gonna rip up your heads,
Your aspirations to shreds
Another cog in the murder machine
Chorus:
They said all teenagers scare the living shit out of me
They could care less as long as someone'll bleed
So darken your clothes or strike a violent pose
Maybe they'll leave you alone, but not me
The boys and girls in the clique
The awful names that they stick
You're never gonna fit in much, kid
But if you're troubled and hurt
What you got under your shirt
Will make them pay for the things that they did
Chorus
All together now!
Teenagers scare the living shit out of me
They could care less as long as someone'll bleed
So darken your clothes or strike a violent pose
Maybe they'll leave you alone, but not me

This Land is Your Land
(Woody Guthrie; this is their own UK version)
(Live with Red Sky Coven)
I roamed and rambled that endless highway
I saw below me that golden valley
And there above me that endless skyway
And I say this land was made for you and me
Chorus:
This land is your land, this land is my land
From the coast of Dover to the north of Scotland
From the fields and the forests to the coast of Ireland
This land was made for you and me.
I roamed and I rambled and I followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of her diamond beaches
While all around me a voice was calling
And it said, this land was made for you and me
Chorus:
This land is your land, this land is my land
From the coast of Dover to the hills of Scotland
From the (...) moorlands to the coast of Ireland
This land was made for you and me
When I was strolling, and the sun came shining
And the wheat fields waving and the dust clouds rolling
And I heard around me, a voice was chanting
And I say, this land was made for you and me
Chorus

All night long, you've been looking at me.
Well you know you're the dance hall cutie that you longed to be.
Oh well now, you've been laying it down,
You've got your hip swinging out of bounds,
And I like the way you do what you're doin' to me
Chorus:
Alright. That's right, that's right, that's right, that's right
I really love your tiger light.
That's neat, that's neat, that's neat, that's neat,
I really love your tiger feet.
I really love your tiger feet.
Your tiger feet.
Your tiger feet
Your tiger feet.
Well alright
Well flash your warning lights just as long as you like.
I know you're aching to be making me tonight.
I've got a feeling in my knees,
It's a feeling only you can please,
There ain't no way I'm gonna let you outta my sight .
Chorus
Well now you've been laying it down.
You've got your hips swinging out of bounds
and I like the way you do what you're doin' to me.

Umbrella
(Rihanna)
(Live with Red Sky Coven)
You have my heart
And we'll never be worlds apart
Maybe in magazines
But you'll still be my star
Baby 'cause in the dark
You can't see shiny cars
And that's when you need me there
With you I'll always share
Because
Chorus:
When the sun shines, we'll shine together
Told you I'll be here forever
Said I'll always be a friend
Took an oath, I'ma stick it out till the end
Now that it's raining more than ever
Know that we'll still have each other
You can stand under my umbrella
You can stand under my umbrella
(Ella ella, eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(Ella ella, eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(Ella ella, eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(Ella ella, eh eh eh, eh eh eh)
These fancy things will never come in
between
You're part of my entity, here for infinity
When the war has took it's part
When the world has dealt it's cards
If the hand is hard, together we'll mend your heart
Because
Chorus
You can run into my arms
It's okay don't be alarmed
Come here to me
There's no distance in between our love
So go on and let the rain pour
I'll be all you need and more
Because
Chorus
It's raining
Ooh baby it's raining
Baby come here to me
Come here to me
It's raining
Ooh baby it's raining
You can always come here to me
Come here to me
It's pouring rain
It's pouring rain
Come here to me
Come here to me

We are
the
Champions
(Queen)
(Live with The Fabbies)
I've paid my dues -
Time after time -
I've done my sentence
But committed no crime -
And bad mistakes
I've made a few
I've had my share of sand kicked in my face -
But I've come through
Chorus
We are the champions - my friends
And we'll keep on fighting - till the end -
We are the champions -
We are the champions
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions - of the world -
I've taken my bows
And my curtain calls -
You brought me fame and fortune and everything that goes with it -
I thank you all -
But it's been no bed of roses
No pleasure cruise -
I consider it a challenge before the whole human race -
And I ain't gonna lose -
Chorus

Werewolves
of London
(Warren Zevon)
(Live with his band, Red Sky Coven
and The Fabbies)
I saw a werewolf with a Chinese menu in his
hand
Walking through the streets of Soho in the rain
He was looking for a place called Lee Ho Fook's
Going to get himself a big dish of beef chow mein
Werewolves of London
If you hear him howling around your kitchen
door
Better not let him in
Little old lady got mutilated late last night
Werewolves of London again
Werewolves of London
He's the hairy-handed gent who ran amuck in
Kent
Lately he's been overheard in Mayfair
Better stay away from him
He'll rip your lungs out, Jim
I'd like to meet his tailor
Werewolves of London
Well, I saw Lon Chaney walking with the Queen
Doing the Werewolves of London
I saw Lon Chaney, Jr. walking with the Queen
Doing the Werewolves of London
I saw a werewolf drinking a pina colada at Trader Vic's
His hair was perfect
Werewolves of London
Draw blood

What a
Wonderful World
(Louis Armstrong)
(Red Sky Coven Volumes
1 & 2)
I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself what a wonderful world.
I see skies of blue and clouds of white
The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night
And I think to myself what a wonderful world.
The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the
sky
Are also on the faces of people going by
I see friends shaking hands saying how do you do
They're really saying I love you.
I hear babies cry, I watch them grow
They'll learn much more than I'll never know
And I think to myself what a wonderful world
Yes I think to myself what a wonderful world.

Whiskey in
the Jar
(Traditional)
(Live with Red Sky Coven)
As I was going over the far famed Kerry
Mountains
I spied Captain Farrel and his money he was counting
I first produced my pistol and then I produced my rapier
Saying stand and deliver for you are a bold deceiver
Chorus:
Musha ring durram do durram dah
Whack for di daddio
Whack for di daddio
There's whiskey in the jar
I counted out his money and it made a
pretty penny
I put it in my pocket and I took it home to Jennie
She swore and she sighed that she never would deceive me
But the Devil take the woman for they never can be easy
Chorus
I went onto my chamber for to take a little
slumber
I dreamt of golden jewels and for sure it was no wonder
But Jennie drew my charges and she filled them up with water
Then sent for Captain Farrel to be ready for the slaughter
Chorus
It was early in the morning as I rose to
travel
Up comes a band of footmen and likewise Captain Farrel
I first produced my pistol for she'd stolen away my rapier
But I couldn't shoot the water so a prisoner I was taken
Chorus
There's some take delight in the carriages
a-rolling
Others take delight in the hurley and the bowling
But I take delight in the juice of the barley
And courting pretty fair maids in the morning bright and early
Chorus
And if anyone can aid me 'tis my brother in
the army
If I can fight a station in Cork or in Killarny
And if he'll go with me we'll be roaming in Killkenny
And I'm sure he'll treat me better than my only sporting Jennie
Chorus

Who Do You Love
(Bo
Diddley)
(Live with The Fabbies)
I walked forty-seven miles of barbed wire,
I got a cobra snake for a necktie
A brand new house on the road side,
And it's a-made out of rattlesnake hide
Got a band new chimney put on top,
And it's a-made out of human skull
Come on take a little walk with me baby,
And tell me who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Around the town I use a rattlesnake whip,
Take it easy baby don't you give me no lip
Who do you love?
I've got a tombstone hand and a graveyard mind,
I'm just twenty-two and I don't mind dying
Who do you love?
Now Arlene took a-me by my hand,
She said "Lonesome George you don't understand,
Who do you love?"
The night were dark and the sky were blue,
Down the alleyway a house wagon flew
Hit a bump and somebody screamed,
You should've heard what I'd seen
Who do you love?
Yeah, I've got a tombstone hand in a graveyard mine,
Just twenty-two baby I don't mind dying
Snake skin shoes baby put them on your feet,
Got the goodtime music and the Bo Diddley beat
Who do you love?

Whoop a Man's Ass
(Trace Adkins)
(Live with The Fabbies)
Every now and then you gotta take it on the chin
And gotta turn the other cheek
But then there's times your old stubborn pride
Don't back down so easily
And you got no choice but to let your voice
Be heard and hold your ground
And that's the point that he'll get the point
And you'll probably back down
But if he bolts up and steps across that line
You gotta whoop a man's ass sometimes
Chorus:
Man, I'll be the first one here to call you crazy
If you let me catch you cussin' and akin to roughin' up a lady
And God forbid that anybody mess with mine
You gotta whoop a man's ass sometimes
Yeah, I let it slide when the liquored up guy
Asked me, "Boy, what you lookin' at?"
And I kept my cool when the reckless fool
Put a dent in my Cadillac
And I don't care if my long hair
Draws stares the way it does
As long as you ain't throwin' sticks and stones
You'd probably be alright 'cause
I'll take the high road if I can out of a bind
But you gotta whoop a man's ass sometimes
Chorus
Man, I'll be the first one here to call you crazy
If you let me catch you cussin' and akin to roughin' up a lady
And God forbid that anybody mess with that little girl of mine
You gotta whoop a man's ass sometimes
You gotta whoop a man's ass sometimes
Hmm, that's right
Yeah, you gotta whoop a man's ass sometimes

Why Did You Do It
(Stretch)
(Live with The Fabbies)
I've been thinking about what you have done to me
The damage is much deeper than you'll ever see
Hit me like a hammer to my head
I wonder were you pushed or were you led?
Chorus:
Why did you do it? Why did you do that thing to me?
Why did you do it? Why did you do that thing to me?
The only one who knows the truth,
Man it's him, me and you.
My friends they listen to the things I say
They listen and they hear more everyday
But I know they never understand it
Because it was no accident you planned it.
Chorus
One, two
I've been thinking about what you have done to me ...

Winter Wonderland
(Felix Bernard/Richard B. Smith)
(Live with The Fabbies)
Sleigh bells ring, are you listening,
In the lane, snow is glistening
A beautiful sight,
We're happy tonight.
Walking in a winter wonderland.
Gone away is the bluebird,
Here to stay is a new bird
He sings a love song,
As we go along,
Walking in a winter wonderland.
In the meadow we can build a snowman,
Then pretend that he is Parson Brown
He'll say: Are you married?
We'll say: No man,
But you can do the job
When you're in town.
Later on, we'll conspire,
As we dream by the fire
To face unafraid,
The plans that we've made,
Walking in a winter wonderland.
In the meadow we can build a snowman,
And pretend that he's a circus clown
We'll have lots of fun with mister snowman,
Until the other kids knock him down.
When it snows, ain't it thrilling,
Though your nose gets a chilling
We'll frolic and play, the Eskimo way,
Walking in a winter wonderland.

You Gotta
Fight For Your Right (to Party)
(Beastie Boys)
(Live with The Fabbies)
You wake up late for school
man you don't wanna go
You ask you mom, "Please?"
but she still says, "No!"
You missed two classes
and no homework
But your teacher preaches class
like you're some kind of jerk
Chorus:
You gotta fight for your right to party
You pop caught you smoking
and he said, "No way!"
That hypocrite
smokes two packs a day
Man, living at home is such a drag
Now your mom threw away
your best porno mag (Bust it!)
Chorus
Don't step out of this house
if that's the clothes you're gonna wear
I'll kick you out of my home
if you don't cut that hair
Your mom busted in and said,
"What's that noise?"
Aw, mom you're just jealous
it's the Beastie Boys!
Chorus

(Your
Love Keeps Lifting Me) Higher and Higher
(Jackie Wilson)
(Live with Red Sky Coven)
Your love, liftin' me higher
Than I've ever been lifted before
So keep it up, quench my desire
And I'll be at your side forevermore
Chorus:
You know your love (your love keeps liftin' me)
Keeps on liftin' (your love keeps liftin' me)
Higher (liftin' me, liftin' me), higher, and higher (higher)
I said your love (your love keeps liftin' me)
Keeps on (liftin' me, liftin' me)
Liftin' me (liftin' me) higher and higher (higher)
Now once I was downhearted
Disappointment was my closest friend
But then you came and he soon departed
And you know he never showed his face again
Chorus:
That's why your love...
I'm so glad I finally found you
Yes, that one in a million girls
And I wish my lovin' arms around ya
Honey, I can stand up and face the world
Chorus:
Let me tell ya your love...
