Nina Simone Album

Beat-up little seagull
On a marble stair
Tryin' to find the ocean
Lookin' everywhere

Hard times in the city
In a hard town by the sea
Ain't nowhere to run to
There ain't nothin' here for free

Hooker on the corner
Waiting for a train
Drunk lying on the sidewalk
Sleeping in the rain

And the people hide their faces
And they hide their eyes
'Cause the city's dyin'
And they don't know why

Oh, Baltimore
Ain't it hard just to live?
Oh, Baltimore
Ain't it hard just to live?
Just to live

Get my sister Sandy
And my little brother Ray
Buy a big old wagon
To haul us all away

Live out in the country
Where the mountain's high
Never gonna come back here
Till the day I die

Oh, Baltimore
Ain't it hard just to live?
Oh, Baltimore
Ain't it hard just to live?
Just to live

Everything must change
Nothing stays the same
Everyone will change
No one, no one stays the same

The young become the old
And mysteries do unfold
For that's the way of time
No one, and nothing goes unchanged

There are not many things in life one can be sure of
Except rain comes from the clouds
Sun lights up the sky
Hummingbirds fly

Winter turns to spring
A wounded heart will heal
Oh but never much too soon
No one, and nothing goes unchanged

The young become the old
And mysteries do unfold
For that's the way of time
No one, and nothing stays unchanged

There are not many things in life one can be sure of
Except rain comes from the clouds
Sun lights up the sky
Hummingbirds fly

Rain comes from the clouds
Sun lights up the sky
Hummingbirds fly

Rain comes from the clouds
Sun lights up the sky
Hummingbirds fly

Everything must change

Judy Collins

Original lyrics by Judy Collins

My father always promised me
That we would live in France
We'd go boating on the Seine
And I would learn to dance

We lived in Ohio then
He worked in the mines
On his dreams like boats
We knew we would sail in time

All my sisters soon were gone
To Denver and Cheyenne
Marrying their grownup dreams
The lilacs and the man

I stayed behind the youngest still
Only danced alone
The colors of my father's dreams
Faded without a sound

And I live in Paris now
My children dance and dream
Hearing the ways of a miner's life
In words they've never seen

I sail my memories of home
Like boats across the Seine
And watch the Paris sun
As it sets in my father's eyes again

My father always promised us
That we would live in France
We'd go boating on the Seine
And I would learn to dance

I sail my memories of home
Like boats across the Seine
And watch the Paris sun
As it sets in my father's eyes again

There is music for lovers
It to be found
In the sound
Of a sigh.
And there's music for lovers
In the hush-a-bye dreams
Of a child.
When the whole world discovers
That love's the only thing worthwhile.
Then there'll be music for everyone
And the whole world will smile.

In the willow tree
Made for you and me
There's a silver symphony of birds.
When the poets rhyme
In the summer time
You'll hear melodies
In the words.

There is music for lovers
It to be found
In the stream
Running wild.
And there's music for lovers
In the hush-a-bye dreams
Of you child.
When the whole world discovers
That love is the only thing worthwhile
There'll be music for everyone
And the whole world will smile.

Na na na na na na na na na na na na

If i was a rich girl na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na,
See i'd have all the money in the world if i was a wealthy girl
No man could test me impress me my cash flow would never ever end
Cause i'd have all the money in the world if i was a wealthy girl
Think what that money could bring, i'd buy everything
Clean out Vivian Westwood in my Galiano gown
No i wouldn't just have one hood
A Hollywood mansion if i could
Please book me first-class to my fancy house in london town
All the riches baby won't mean anything
All the riches baby won't bring what you love can bring
All the riches baby won't mean anything
Don't need no other baby 'cause your love is better than gold and I know
If i was a rich girl na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na,
See i'd have all the money in the world if i was a wealthy girl
No man could test me impress me my cash flow would never ever end
Cause i'd have all the money in the world if i was a wealthy girl
I'd get me four Harajuku girls to (uh huh)
Inspire me and they'd come to my rescue I'd dress them wicdked
I'd give them names (yeah)
Love, Angel, Music, Baby, hurry up and come and save me
All the riches baby won't mean anything
All the riches baby won't bring what your love can bring
All the riches baby won't mean anything
Won't need no other baby cause your love is better than gold
And i know!
(Eve)
Come together all over the world
From the hoods of Japan
Harajuku girls
What it's all love
What give it up
What (shouldn't matter x4)
What
Come together all over the world
From the hoods of Japan
Harajuku girls
What it's all love
What give it up
What (shouldn't matter x4)
What happened to my life turned upside-down
Chicks that blew ya mind
Ding it's the second round
(original track and ting, mmm)
You know you cant buy these things (no)
See Stefani in her L.A.M.B.
I rock the Fetish people
You know who i am
(Gwen Stefani and Eve)
Yes ma'am we got the style that's wicked
I hope you can all keep up
We climbed all the way from the bottom to the top
Now we ain't gettin' nothin' but love
(Gwen Stefani)
If i was a rich girl na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na
See i'd have all the money in the world if i was a wealthy girl
No man could test me
Impress me my cash flow would never ever end
Cause i'd have all the money in the world
If i was a wealthy girl
Na na na na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na na na na x3

(1955) M. Rotha (pseud. of

A little love that slowly
Grows and grows
Not one that comes and goes
That's all I want from you
A sunny day with hopes up
To the skies
Not a day that comes and
Dies
That's all I want from you

Don't let me down, oh show
Me that you care
Remember when you give, you
Also get your share
Don't let me down, I have
No time to wait
Tomorrow might not come,
When dreamers dream too late

A little love that slowly
Grows and grows
Not one that comes and goes
That's all I want from you
A sunny day with hopes up
To the skies
Not one that comes and dies
That's all I want from you

Don't let me down, oh show
Me that you care
Remember when you give, you
Also get your share
Don't let me down, I have
No time to wait
Tomorrow might not come,
When dreamers dream too late

A little love that slowly
Grows and grows
Not one that comes and goes
That's all I want from you

Forget the love not chosen
Forget the pain unspoken
And please forget the dreams that were broken
But remember me

Forget this shade when night falls
Forget the fear that droops? off
And please forget the fights in these four walls
But remember me

I'm the one who always loved the simple things about you
Your quiet gestures and your grace
And I'm the one who cherished every touch from you
And I'm the one who loved the beauty in your changing face
Your changing face

Forget the harm I caused you
Forget the times I crossed you
And other things I did when I lost you
But remember me when you forget
But remember me when you forget

Traditional

There is a balm in Gilead
to make the wounded whole
There is a balm in Gilead
to heal the sin-sick soul

repeat previous

If you can pray like Peter
If you can preach like Paul
Go home and tell your loved ones
He died to save us all
