In Spite Of All The Danger - The Quarrymen (Later became the Beatles) 1958

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y8tobAFqjPY&hd=1

Written by McCartney and Harrison (1958)

In spite of all the danger,
In spite of all that may be
I'll do anything for you,
Anything you want me to,
If you'll be true to me
In spite of all the heartache,
That you may cause me,
I'll do anything for you,
Anything you want me to,
If you'll be true to me
I'll look after you
Like I've never done before
I'll keep all the others
From knocking at your door
In spite of all the danger,
In spite of all that may be,
I'll do anything for you,
Anything you want me to,
If you'll be true to me
In spite of all the heartache,
That you may cause me,
I'll do anything for you,
Anything you want me to,
If you'll be true to me
I'll do anything for you
Anything you want me to,
If you'll be true to me

Jailhouse Rock - Elvis Presley 1957 (Set 1080p for the best quality)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8oE1CBVIGlw&hd=1

Songwriters: Leiber, Jerry; Stoller, Mike;

The warden threw a party in the county jail
The prison band was there and they began to wail
The band was jumpin' and the joint began to swing
You should've heard those knocked out jailbirds sing

Let's rock
Everybody, let's rock
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock

Spider Murphy played the tenor saxophone
Little Joe was blowin' on the slide trombone
The drummer boy from Illinois went crash, boom, bang
The whole rhythm section was a purple gang

Let's rock
Everybody, let's rock
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock

Number 47 said to number 3
"You're the cutest jailbird I ever did see
I sure would be delighted with your company
Come on and do the Jailhouse Rock with me"

Let's rock
Everybody, let's rock
Everybody in the whole cell block
[ From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/e/el ... se-rock-lyrics.html ]
Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock, Rock, Rock

Sad Sack was sittin' on a block of stone
Way over in the corner weepin' all alone
The warden said, "Hey, buddy, don't you be no square
If you can't find a partner use a wooden chair"

Let's rock
Everybody, let's rock
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock

Shifty Henry said to Bugs, "For Heaven's sake
No one's lookin', now's the chance to make a break"
Bugsy turned to Shifty and he said, "Nix nix
I wanna stick around a while and get my kicks"

Let's rock
Everybody, let's rock
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock

Dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock, dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock
Dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock, dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock
Dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock, dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock
Dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock

Rock and Roll Lullaby - B.J. Thomas 1972
  
  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-U5BqyvIuFM&hd=1

"Rock and Roll Lullaby" is a 1972 single by B. J. Thomas. The single's backup vocals were performed by The Blossoms and Dave Somerville with Duane Eddy playing lead guitar. "Rock and Roll Lullaby" went to number fifteen on the Billboard Hot 100 and was Thomas's third number one on the Easy Listening chart, where it spent one week in March 1972.

Background vocals:  The Beach Boys
Lead guitar:  Duane Eddy
Written by:  Barry Mann & his wife Cynthia Weil, Barry also played the electric piano

She was just sixteen
  And all alone when I came to be
  So we grew up together
  Our mama-child and me
  Now things were bad and she was scared
  But whenever I would cry
  She'd calm my fear and dry my tears
  With a rock and roll lullaby
  
  And she'd sing
  Sha-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na
  It'll be all right
  Sha-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na
  Just hold on tight
  Sing it to me, mama
  My, my, my, my, mama
  Sing it sweet and clear
  Oh mama, let me hear
  That old rock and roll lullaby
  
  [Instrumental Interlude]
  
  We made it through the lonely days
  But, Lord, the nights were long
  And we'd dream of better mornin's
  When mama sang a song
  Now I can't recall the words at all
  It don't make sense to try
  'Cause I just knew lotsa love came through
  In that rock and roll lullaby
  
  And she'd sing
  Sha-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na
  It'll be all right
  Sha-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na
  Just hold on tight
  I can hear ya, mama
  My, my, my, my mama
  Nothin' moves my soul
  Like the sound of the good old
  Rock and roll lullaby

Angel - Elvis Presley 1960

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YNbdcpFQEy8&hd=1

Angel, with those angel eyes
Come and take this earth boy
Up to paradise

Angel, may I hold you tight?
Never kissed an angel
Let me kiss one tonight

If I said 'I love you'
Would I be speaking out of turn?
I'm only human, but I'm willing to learn

Angel, make my wish come true
Let me be in heaven here on earth with you

Angel, never kissed an angel
Let me kiss one tonight

If I said 'I love you'
Would I be speaking out of turn?
I'm only human, but I'm willing to learn

Angel, make my wish come true
Let me be in heaven here on earth with you

許冠傑 - 往事 1978

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zFD5EgmUTf4&hd=1

往事　在我心裡湧現
往事不勝憧憬
徒令五內撩亂

往事　逝似天際閃電
往事空添懷想
人事息間萬變

愁對明月再圓
柔腸若結心境千百轉
縱懷萬縷言
難令故夢重現

往事　令我朝晚思念
往事不堪回首
遺下悽酸恨怨

往事 . . 往事 . .

Vincent - Julie Andrews 1972 Live

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TzUkvb_BUpE&hd=1

Starry
starry night
paint your palette blue and grey

look out on a summer's day
with eyes that know the
darkness in my soul.
Shadows on the hills
sketch the trees and the daffodils

catch the breeze and the winter chills

in colors on the snowy linen land.
And now I understand what you tried to say to me

how you suffered for your sanity
how you tried to set them free.
They would not listen
they did not know how

perhaps they'll listen now.

Starry
starry night
flaming flo'rs that brightly blaze

swirling clouds in violet haze reflect in
Vincent's eyes of China blue.
Colors changing hue
morning fields of amber grain

weathered faces lined in pain
are soothed beneath the artist's
loving hand.
And now I understand what you tried to say to me

how you suffered for your sanity
how you tried to set them free.
perhaps they'll listen now.

For they could not love you
but still your love was true

and when no hope was left in sight on that starry
starry night.
You took your life
as lovers often do;
But I could have told you
Vincent
this world was never
meant for one
as beautiful as you.

Starry
starry night
portraits hung in empty halls

frameless heads on nameless walls
with eyes
that watch the world and can't forget.
Like the stranger that you've met

the ragged men in ragged clothes

the silver thorn of bloddy rose
lie crushed and broken
on the virgin snow.
And now I think I know what you tried to say to me

how you suffered for your sanity

how you tried to set them free.
They would not listen
they're not
list'ning still
perhaps they never will.

I'm coming home. I've done my time.
Now I've got to know what is and is it mine.
If you received my letter telling you I'd soon be free,
Then you'll know just what to do if you still want me,

If you still want me,
Oh, tie a yellow ribbon 'round the ole oak tree.
It's been three long years.
Do you still want me?
(Still want me?)
If I don't see a ribbon 'round the ole oak tree,
I'll stay on the bus,
Forget about us,
Put the blame on me,
If I don't see a yellow ribbon 'round the ole oak tree.

Bus driver, please look for me,
'Cause I couldn't bear to see what I might see.
I'm really still in prison, and my love, she holds the key.
A simple yellow ribbon's what I need to set me free.

I wrote and told her please,
Oh, tie a yellow ribbon 'round the ole oak tree.
It's been three long years.
Do you still want me?
(Still want me?)
If I don't see a ribbon 'round the ole oak tree,
I'll stay on the bus,
Forget about us,
Put the blame on me,
If I don't see a yellow ribbon 'round the ole oak tree.

Now the whole damn bus is cheering,
And I can't believe I see,
A hundred yellow ribbons 'round the ole oak tree.

I'm coming home, mm-hmm.

(Tie a ribbon 'round the ole oak tree.
Tie a ribbon 'round the ole oak tree.
Tie a ribbon 'round the ole oak tree.

Tie a ribbon 'round the ole oak tree.
Tie a ribbon 'round the ole oak tree.
Tie a ribbon 'round the ole oak tree.

Tie a ribbon 'round the ole oak tree...)

The old hometown looks the same as I step down from the train
And there to meet me is my mama and papa
And down the road I look and there runs Mary hair of gold and lips like cherries
It's good to touch the green green grass of home

Yes they'll all come to meet me arms areached smiling sweetly
It's so good to touch the green green grass of home

The old house is still standing though the paint is cracked and dry
And there's that old oak tree that I used to play on
Down the lane I walk with my sweet Mary hair of gold and lips like cherries
It's good to touch the green green grass of home

Then I awake and look around me at these four grey walls that surround me
And I realize that I was only dreaming
For there's a guard and there's that sad old padre arm in arm we'll walk at daybreak
And again I'll touch the green green grass of home

They'll all come to see me in the shade of that old oak tree
As they lay me neath the green green grass of home

1928 Version

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=myOIkKuhCO0&hd=1

B-side of "Dear Old Pal of Mine" (the 1928 version). Recorded in January 1928. Written by Fred E. Weatherley and Haydn Wood. With Edwin Schneider at the piano. McCormack had earlier recorded this famous song in 1919.

Roses Of Picardy- The Platters 1954

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IG4nAYlRpzo&hd=1

She is watching by the poplars,

Colinette with the sea-blue eyes,

She is watching and longing, and waiting

Where the long white roadway lies,

And a song stirs in the silence,

As the wind in the boughs above,

She listens and starts and trembles,

'Tis the first little song of love.



Roses are shining in Picardy,

In the hush of the silver dew,

Roses are flow'ring in Picardy,

But there's never a rose like you!

And the roses will die with the summertime,

And our roads may be far apart,

But there's one rose that dies not in Picardy,

'Tis the rose that I keep in my heart



And the years fly on forever,

Till the shadows veil their skies,

But he loves to hold her little hands,

And look into her sea-blue eyes,

And she sees the road by the poplars,

Where they met in the bygone years,

For the first little song of the roses,

Is the last little song she hears:



Roses are shining in Picardy,

In the hush of the silver dew,

Roses are flow'ring in Picardy,

But there's never a rose like you!

And the roses will die with the summertime,

And our roads may be far apart,

But there's one rose that dies not in Picardy,

'Tis the rose that I keep in my heart

The Carpenters - Don't Be Afraid 1969

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xFkzVDmnm9U&hd=1

Written by: Richard Carpenter
Produced and Arranged by: Richard Carpenter
Engineered by: Joe Osborn
Drums and Vocals: Karen Carpenter
Keyboard and Vocals: Richard Carpenter
Autoharp: Charlyn Koster

Richard's Notes:
By mid 1968, "Spectrum" has disbanded. Karen and I decided to record all the vocals ourselves and after a great deal of thought, had decided to call ourselves "Carpenters". Recorded in Joe Osborn's garage studio, this version of "Don't Be Afraid" (which I had recently written), was one of the first tunes recorded during this period and ultimately was included in the "demo" submitted to Herb Alpert.

LYRICS:

Love, don't be afraid to love and get love returned
Don't be afraid to tell everyone you're learned

That love is a groovy thing
It knows how to make you sing
Ant it fills up your life with sunshine and joy

Don't be afraid to give all you've got to give
One of these days you'll find that's the way to live
And living is what we all were put on this earth to do
So come on and live and be happy
Don't be afraid to love

Oh, live and be happy
Don't be afraid to love
Don't be afraid to love
Don't be afraid to love
Don't be afraid to love

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C-isFa9LvOo&hd=1

How long, babe how long has that evenin' train been gone
How long, how long, baby how long?

Yeah, I stood at the station watch my baby leavin' town
Blue and disgusting, nowhere could peace be found (?)
How long, how long, baby how long?

I can hear the whistle blowin', but I cannot see no train
And it's deep down in my heart baby, there lies an achin’ pain
How long, how long, baby, how long?

Sometimes I feel so disgustin’ and I feel so blue
That I hardly know what in this world baby, just to do
How long, how long, baby how long?

And if I could holler like I was in my own tin track (?) (I was “a mountain jack”)
I would go up on a mountain and I'd call my baby back
How long, how long, baby how long?

And if someday you gonna be sorry that you done me wrong
But it will be too late baby, I will be gone
For so long, so long, baby so long.

My mind just gets a ramblin’, I feel so bad
Thinkin’ about the bad luck that I have had
For how long, how long, baby how long
