Ghoti Hook - "Songs We Didn't Write" (TND1121)
1. I Love Rock 'n' Roll
Originally done by Joan Jett & The Blackhearts
I saw her dancin' there by the record machine
I knew she must a been about seventeen
The beat was goin' strong
Playin' my favorite song
An' I could tell it wouldn't be long
Till she was with me, yeah me,
An' I could tell it wouldn't be long
Till she was with me, yeah me, singin'
I love rock n' roll
So put another dime in the jukebox, baby
I love rock n' roll
So come an' take your time an' dance with me
She smiled so I got up and' asked for her name
That don't matter, she said, 'cause it's all the same
She said can I take you home where we can be alone
An' next we were movin' on
She was with me, yeah me
Next we were movin' on
She was with me, yeah me, singin'
I love rock n' roll
So put another dime in the jukebox, baby
I love rock n' roll
So come an' take your time an' dance with me
I saw her dancin' there by the record machine
I knew she must a been about seventeen
The beat was goin' strong
Playin' my favorite song
An' I could tell it wouldn't be long
Till she was with me, yeah me,
An we'll be movin' on
An' singin' that same old song
Yeah with me, singin'
I love rock n' roll
So put another dime in the jukebox, baby
I love rock n' roll
So come an' take your time an' dance with me
I love rock n' roll
So put another dime in the jukebox, baby
I love rock n' roll
So come an' take your time an' dance with me
I love rock n' roll
So put another dime in the jukebox, baby
I love rock n' roll
So come an' take your time an' dance with me
I love rock n' roll
So put another dime in the jukebox, baby
I love rock n' roll
So come an' take your time an' dance with me
2. Earth Angel
Originally done by Jesse Belvin
Earth Angel, Earth Angel, will you be mine
My darling, dear, I love you all the time
I'm just a fool, a fool in love with you
Earth Angel, Earth Angel, the one I adore
I love you forever, and ever ever more
I'm just a fool, a fool in love with you
I fell for you, and I knew
The vision of your love's loveliness
And I hope and I pray that someday
I'll be the vision of your happy happiness
Earth Angel, Earth Angel, will you be mine
My darling, dear, I love you all the time
I'm just a fool, a fool in love with you
I fell for you, and I knew
The vision of your love's loveliness
And I hope and I pray that someday
I'll be the vision of your happy happiness
Earth Angel, Earth Angel, will you be mine
My darling, dear, I love you all the time
I'm just a fool, a fool in love with you
3. True Faith
Originally done by New Order
I feel so extraordinary
Something's got a hold on me
I get this feeling I'm in motion
A sudden sense of liberty
I don't care 'cause I'm not there
And I don't care if I'm here tomorrow
Again and again I've taken too much
Of the things that cost you too much
I used to think that the day would never come
I'd see the light in the shade of the morning sun
My morning sun is the drug that brings me near
To the childhood I lost, replaced by fear
I used to think that the day would never come
That my life would depend on the morning sun
When I was a very small boy,
Very small boys talked to me
Now that we've grown up together
They're afraid of what they see
That's the price that we all pay
Our valued destiny comes to nothing
I can't tell you where we're going
I guess there was just no way of knowing
I used to think that the day would never come
I'd see the light in the shade of the morning sun
My morning sun is the drug that brings me near
To the childhood I lost, replaced by fear
I used to think that the day would never come
That my life would depend on the morning sun
I feel so extraordinary
Something's got a hold on me
I get this feeling I'm in motion
A sudden sense of liberty
The chances are we've gone too far
You took my time and you took my money
Now I fear you've left me standing
In a world that's so demanding
I used to think that the day would never come
I'd see the light in the shade of the morning sun
My morning sun is the drug that brings me near
To the childhood I lost, replaced by fear
I used to think that the day would never come
That my life would depend on the morning sun
4. Just What I Needed
Originally done by The Cars
i don't mind you coming here
and wasting all my time
'cause when you're standing oh so near
i kinda lose my mind
it's not the perfume that you wear
it's not the ribbons in your hair
i don't mind you coming here
and wasting all my time
i don't mind you hanging out
and talking in your sleep
it doesn't matter where you've been
as long as it was deep
you always knew to wear it well
you look so fancy i can tell
and i don't mind you hanging out
and talking in your sleep
i guess you're just what i needed
i needed someone to feed
i guess you're just what i needed
i needed someone to bleed
i don't mind you coming here
and wasting all my time
'cause when you're standing oh so near
i kinda lose my mind
it's not the perfume that you wear
it's not the ribbons in your hair
i don't mind you coming here
and wasting all my time
i guess you're just what i needed
i needed someone to feed
i guess you're just what i needed
i needed someone to bleed
i guess you're just what i needed
i needed someone to feed
i guess you're just what i needed
i needed someone to bleed
you're just what i needed
you're just what i needed
you're just what i needed
5. Friends
Originally done by Michael W. Smith
Packing up the dreams God's planted
in the fertile soil of you
Can't believe the hopes He's granted
means a chapter in our lives is through
But we'll keep you close as always
It won't even seem you've gone
Cause our hearts in big and small ways
will keep the love that keeps us strong
And friends are friends forever if the Lord's the Lord of them
And a friend will not say never cause the welcome will not end
Though it's hard to let you go, in the Father's hands we know
That a lifetime's not too long
to live as friends
And with the faith and love God's given
Springing from the hope we know
We will pray the joy you'll live in
is the strength that now you will show
But we'll keep you close as always
It won't even seem you've gone
Cause our hearts in big and small ways
will keep the love that keeps us strong
And friends are friends forever if the Lord's the Lord of them
And a friend will not say never cause the welcome will not end
Though it's hard to let you go, in the Father's hands we know
That a lifetime's not too long
to live as friends
And friends are friends forever if the Lord's the Lord of them
And a friend will not say never cause the welcome will not end
Though it's hard to let you go, in the Father's hands we know
That a lifetime's not too long
6. Acquiesce
Originally done by Stavesacre
Even now your eyes are courting sleep
I'll stay by your side as I have always been
Sleep tonight, may your dreams reveal my love for you
Beyond what I must do, do you know my plans for you
To separate myself from where my treasure lies
Then naked in this cold and lonely unforgiving life
Be stripped away of all delusions of the man I'd like to be at the moment
I am broken parts sure of only weaknesses with nothing left to show
No illusions left to hide behind
Burning clean has been both agony and absolute release
Can I hope to pass this test, is my destiny this wilderness
The hardest part of letting go
Is trusting you with everything
In laying bare my soul is truly seeing who I really am
Father what is man that You are mindful of him
Can I pass this test, is my destiny this wilderness
To stand alone against a life of wretchedness
Impossible to hope and so I plead
Your graciousness show me your glory
May my life reflect your presence
And never again find myself in anything less
The hardest part of letting go
Is trusting you with everything
In laying bare my soul is truly seeing who I really am
Father what is man that You are mindful of him
7. I See Red
Originally done by X
She wore blue
her back of blue shoes
she wore green, they wear it anyway
She and the car
went back through the red light
stop i forgot all my memories
I see red when I see you
(?) bells ring at 3 AM
I get mad, drinks get spilled
Five past two I don't feel sad
But then I see you and I see red
I can't look down
Or I might follow you
I might follow in your footsteps
I see your shoulder the sun down
What's the luck
And I had to hunt, I had to hunt you up
I see red when I see you
(?) bells ring at 3 AM
I get mad, drinks get spilled
Five past two I don't feel sad
But then I see you and I see red
Don't feel sad
But then I see you
Don't feel sad
But then I see you
And I see red
He sees the sun come up and she needs to rest
Here it comes creeping so close to the bed
Goodbye to darkness I see your shining face
She's always thinking about the facts of love
I see red when I see you
(?) bells ring at 3 AM
I get mad, drinks get spilled
Five past two I don't feel sad
But then I see you and I see red
8. Walking On Sunshine
Originally done by Katrina & The Waves
I used to think maybe you loved me, now baby I'm sure
And I just can't wait till the day when you knock on my door
Now everytime I go for the mailbox, gotta hold myself down
Cause I just can't wait till you write me you're comin' around
Now I'm walking on sunshine (whoa oh)
Said I'm walking on sunshine (whoa oh)
Said I'm walking on sunshine (whoa oh)
And its startin' to feel good
All right now
And its startin' to feel good
Oh yeah
I used to think maybe you loved me, now I know that it's true
And I don't wanna spend my whole life just a waitin' for you
Now I don't want you back for the weekend, not back for a day (no no no)
I said baby I just want you back and I want you to stay
Now I'm walking on sunshine (whoa oh)
Said I'm walking on sunshine (whoa oh)
Said I'm walking on sunshine (whoa oh)
And its startin' to feel good
All right now
And its startin' to feel good
All right now
Walkin' on sunshine
Walkin' on sunshine
I feel alive, I feel a love,
I feel a love that's really real
I feel alive, I feel a love,
I feel a love that's really real
I feel alive, I feel a love,
I feel a love that's really real
I feel alive, I feel a love,
I feel a love that's really real
Now I'm walking on sunshine (whoa oh)
Said I'm walking on sunshine (whoa oh)
9. The Guitar Song
Originally done by The Dead Milkmen
Hey Kitten, whatcha doin'?
Wanna play the guitar?
You say, what's that sound
Coming out of the hole in the wood?
You say, what's that sound
Coming out of the hole in the wood?
You say, what's that sound
Coming out of the hole in the wood?
It's the guitar
Hey baby, whatcha doin'?
Playin' with your rattle and your plastic car?
You say, what's that sound
Coming out of the hole in the wood?
You say, what's that sound
Coming out of the hole in the wood?
You say, what's that sound
Coming out of the hole in the wood?
It's the guitar
Hey momma, where ya goin'?
I hope you don't play the guitar (?)
You say, what's that sound
Coming out of the hole in the wood?
Tell me, what's that sound
Coming out of the hole in the wood?
Hey! What's that sound
Coming out of the hole in the wood?
It's the guitar
10. Hey Nonny Nonny
Originally done by The Violent Femmes
Beauty sat bathing by a spring where fairest shades did hide her
The winds blew calm the birds did sing the cool streams ran beside her
My wanton thoughts enticed mine eye to see what was forbidden
But better memory said "fie" so vain desire was chidden
Hey nonny nonny hey nonny nonny
Hey nonny non' oh hey nonny nonny
Hey nonny nonny hey nonny nonny
Hey nonny non' oh hey nonny nonny
Into a slumber then I fell when fond imagination
Seemed to see but could not tell her feature or her fashion
But even as babes in dreams do smile and sometimes fall a weeping
So I awaked as wise this while as when I fell a-sleeping
Hey nonny nonny hey nonny nonny
Hey nonny non' oh hey nonny nonny
Hey nonny nonny oh hey nonny nonny
Hey nonny non' oh hey nonny nonny
Say man are ... (Sly lult erdoor heen...)
11. On The Road Again
Originally done by Willie Nelson
On the road again
I just can't wait to get on the road again
The life I love is makin' music with my friends,
And I can't wait to get on the road again
On the road again
Goin' places that I've never been
Seein' things that I may never see again
I can't wait to get on the road again
On the road again
Like a band of gypsies we go down highway
We're the best of friends
Insisting that the world keep turnin' our way, our way
Is on the road again
I just can't wait to get on the road again
The life I love is makin' music with my friends,
And I can't wait to get on the road again
On the road again
Like a band of gypsies we go down highway
We're the best of friends
Insisting that the world keep turnin' our way, our way
On the road again
I just can't wait to get on the road again
The life I love is makin' music with my friends,
And I can't wait to get on the road again
And I can't wait to get on the road again
And I can't wait to get on the road again
12. Where Is My Mind?
Originally done by The Pixies
Ooooooh
With your feet in the air and your head on the ground
Try this trick and spin it, yeah
Your head will collapse
But there's nothing in it
And you'll ask yourself
Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?
Way out in the water
See it swimmin'
I was swimmin' in the Carribean
Animals were hiding behind the rocks
Except the little fish
But they told me, he swears
Tryin' to talk to me to me to me
Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?
Way out in the water
See it swimmin'
With your feet in the air and your head on the ground
Try this trick and spin it, yeah
Your head will collapse
But there's nothing in it
And you'll ask yourself
Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?
Way out in the water
See it swimmin' ?
Ooooooh
13. Burnin' Love
Originally done by Elvis Presley
Lord Almighty,
I feel my temperature rising
Higher higher
It's burning through to my soul
Girl, girl, girl
You're gonna set me on fire
My brain is flaming
I don't know which way to go
Your kisses lift me higher
Like the sweet song of a choir
You light my morning sky
With burning love
Ooh, ooh, ooh,
I feel my temperature rising
Help me, I'm flaming
I must be a hundred and nine
Burning, burning, burning
And nothing can cool me
I just might turn into smoke
But I feel fine
Your kisses lift me higher
Like the sweet song of a choir
You light my morning sky
With burning love
It's coming closer
The flames are now licking my body
Won't you help me
I feel like I'm slippin' away
It's hard to breathe
And my chest is a-heating
Lord have mercy,
I'm burning a hole where I lay
Your kisses lift me higher
Like the sweet song of a choir
You light my morning sky
With burning love
I got a hunk, a hunk of burning love (12x)
14. The Invisible Man
Originally done by The Vindictives
Posing like a statue sitting in my office chair
Typing letters for computer eyes to sorta read
Drifting like an odor now I'm blending in with the air
I'm becoming more and more of what I've got to be
I'm invisible I'm floating (invisible)
Past the homes of the Ozzie and Harriets
Past the plans of moving in next door, cause I'm prepared
I've got it all figured out
Made me out of frosted flakes and television shows
Made me out of frozen shrimp in office party bowls
I metamorphisized cause i have nothing else to do
I'll walk into the crowd to avoid becoming you
I'm invisible I'm fading (invisible)
Into sacrifice that doesn't stand for anything
Do not disturb this state of unconsciousness
I'm safe in here, becoming part of everyone everyone everyone everyone!
