I'm goin' up the country, baby don't you want to go? I'm goin' up the country, baby don't you want to go? I'm goin' to some place, I've never been before I'm goin' I'm goin' where the water tastes like wine I'm goin' where the water tastes like wine We can jump in the water, stay drunk all the time I'm gonna leave this city, got to get away I'm gonna leave this city, got to get away All this fussin' and fightin' man, you know I sure can't stay So baby pack your leavin' trunk You know we've got to leave today Just exactly where we're goin' I cannot say But we might even leave the U.S.A. It's a brand new game, that I want to play No use in your runnin', or screamin' and cryin' 'Cause you got a home as long as I've got mine Songwriters: Alan Wilson Lyrics © Sony/ATV Music Publishing LLC

The Human League
[Philip] You were workin' as a waitress in a cocktail bar When I met you I picked you out, I shook you up and turned you around Turned you into someone new Now five years later on you've got the world at your feet Success has been so easy for you But don't forget, it's me who put you where you are now And I can put you back down too [Philip] Don't, don't you want me? You know I can't believe it when I hear that you won't see me Don't, don't you want me? You know I don't believe you when you say that you don't need me It's much too late to find You think you've changed your mind You'd better change it back or we will both be sorry [Philip] Don't you want me, baby? Don't you want me, ohh? Don't you want me, baby? Don't you want me, ohh? [Susan] I was working as a waitress in a cocktail bar That much is true But even then I knew I'd find a much better place Either with or without you The five years we have had have been such good times I still love you But now I think it's time I live my life on my own I guess it's just what I must do [Philip] Don't, don't you want me? You know I can't believe it when I hear that you won't see me Don't, don't you want me? You know I don't believe you when you say that you don't need me It's much too late to find You think you've changed your mind You'd better change it back or we will both be sorry [Philip] Don't you want me, baby? Don't you want me, ohh? Don't you want me, baby? Don't you want me, ohh? [Philip] Don't you want me, baby? Don't you want me, ohh? Don't you want me, baby? Don't you want me, ohh?

The Mamas & the Papas
There is a rose in Spanish Harlem A red rose up in Spanish Harlem It is a special one It's never seen the sun It only comes out when the moon is on the run And all the stars are gleaming It's growing in the street Right up through the concrete But soft and sweet and dreamy There is a rose in Spanish Harlem A red rose up in Spanish Harlem With eyes as black as coal That look down in my soul And start a fire there and then I lose control I have to beg your pardon I'm gonna pick that rose And watch her as she grows in my garden It is a special one It's never seen the sun It only comes out when the moon is on the run And all the stars are gleaming I'm gonna pick that rose And watch her as she grows in my garden There is a rose in Spanish Harlem A red rose up in Spanish Harlem There is a rose in Spanish Harlem A red rose up in Spanish Harlem Songwriters: Jerry Leiber / Phil Spector Lyrics © EMI Music Publishing, Sony/ATV Music Publishing LLC

Blood, Sweat & Tears
Something coming on, don't know what it is but it's getting stronger Feeling in my bones, hope you let it last a little bit longer Breaking out my head, doing things I never even dreamed of Rolling up my spine, turning on the things that'd never been turned on Suddenly she came in Looked like she'd been gaming Doing things with everybody else When I called out loud She answered from the crowd That she'd spend her life upon the shelf Something coming on, don't know what it is but it's getting stronger I've got a feeling in my bones, and I hope you let it last a little bit longer Breaking out my head, I've been doing things I never even dreamed of Well, rolling up my spine, turning on my things that'd never been turned on Talk about the woman Suddenly she came in Looked like she'd been gaming Doing things with everybody else When I called out loud She answered from the crowd That she'd spend her life upon the shelf Writer(s): J.

The Essex
My friends all tell me Go to him, run to him, Say sweet lovely things to him, And tell him, he's the one. Deep in my heart I know it, But it's so hard to show it Cause it's easier, easier said than done. My buddies tell me Fly to him, sigh to him, Tell him I would die for him, And tell him, he's the one. Although he gives me a feeling That sets my heart a-reeling, Yet it's easier, easier said than done. Well, I know that I love him so. I'm afraid that he'll never know Because I (I-I) I get so timid and shy Each time that I look him in the eye. They all tell me Sing to him, swing with him, And just do anything for him, And tell him, he's the one. I got a love so true But I'm sad and blue Cause it's easier, easier said than done. Well, I know that I love him so. I'm afraid that he'll never know Because I (I-I) I get so timid and shy Each time that I look him in the eye. They all tell me Sing to him, swing with him, And just do anything for him, And tell him, he's the one. I got a love so true But I'm sad and blue Cause it's easier, easier said than done. Easier-er-er-er, said than done. Songwriters: Larry Freddie Huff / William B Linton Lyrics © Sony/ATV Music Publishing LLC 
Moody Blues
Won't you take me back to school I need to learn the golden rule Won't you lay it on the line I need to hear it just one more time Oh won't you tell me again Can you feel it Won't you tell me again Tonight Each and every heart it seems Is bounded by a world of dreams Each and every rising sun Is greeted by a lonely one Oh won't you tell me again Can you feel it Oh won't you tell me again Tonight 'Cos out on the ocean of life my love There's so many storms we must rise above Can you hear the spirit calling As it's carried across the waves You're already falling It's calling you back to face the music And the song that is coming through You're already falling The one that it's calling you Make a promise take a vow And trust your feelings it's easy now Understand the voice within And feel the changes already beginning Oh won't you tell me again Can you feel it Won't you tell me again Tonight And how many words have I got to say And how many times will it be this way With your arms around the future And your back up against the past You're already falling it's calling you On to face the music And the song that is coming through You're already falling The one it's calling is you Each and every heart it seems Is bounded by a world of dreams Each and every rising sun Is greeted by a lonely one Won't you tell me again Can you feel it Oh won't you tell me again Tonight Writer(s): Bliss Paul 
The Cyrkle
I should have known you'd bid me farewell There's a lesson to be learned from this and I learned it very well Now I know you're not the only starfish in the sea If I never hear your name again, it's all the same to me And I think it's gonna be all right Yeah, the worst is over now The mornin' sun is shinin' like a red rubber ball You never care for secrets I confide For you I'm just an ornament, somethin' for your pride Always runnin', never carin', that's the life you live Stolen minutes of your time were all ya had to give And I think it's gonna be all right Yeah, the worst is over now The mornin' sun is shinin' like a red rubber ball The story's in the past with nothin' to recall I've got my life to live and I don't need you at all The roller-coaster ride we took is nearly at an end I bought my ticket with my tears, that's all I'm gonna spend And I think it's gonna be all right Yeah, the worst is over now The mornin' sun is shinin' like a red rubber ball Oh, oh, oh, I think it's gonna be all right Yeah, the worst is over now The mornin' sun is shinin' like a red rubber ball Songwriters: Paul Simon / Bruce Woodley Lyrics © Sony/ATV Music Publishing LLC, Universal Music Publishing Group 
Carole King
Way over yonder Is a place that I know Where I can find shelter From a hunger and cold And the sweet tastin' good life Is so easily found A way over yonder, that's where I'm bound I know when I get there The first thing I'll see Is the sun shining golden Shining right down on me Then trouble's gonna lose me Worry leave me behind And I'll stand up proudly In true peace of mind Talkin' about Talkin' about A way over yonder Is a place I have seen In a garden of wisdom From some long ago dream Oh yeah Ooh maybe tomorrow I'll find find my way To the land where the honey runs In rivers each day And the sweet tastin' good life Is so easily found A way over yonder That's where I'm bound Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh A way over yonder That's where I'm bound Songwriters: Carole King Lyrics © Sony/ATV Music Publishing LLC
