1.Here I Go Again

Lyrics:Shuman/Weslake
Music:Shuman/Weslake

Here I go again
Watch me now 'cause
Here I go again.

I've been hurt so much before
I told myself, yes I did
No more, no more won't get hurt any more

There I was all by myself
Doing all right
Until I saw you last night

And then I knew that

Here I go again
I can't help it
Here I go again

Making the same mistakes
Heading for more heartaches
What can I do when there's nothing I can do
I looked in your eyes and I knew that I was through

What 's the use
I'll just give in
Try as I may, and I do
I'll never win, never win, baby I'll never win.

Now, you're here, so close to me
I can't resist you
And I knew when I kissed you

I'm gonna say now
Here I go again
Watch me now 'cause

Here I go again

Falling in love, in love
Falling in love, in love
Falling in love, in love
Falling in love


2.Bus Stop

Lyrics:G.Gouldman
Music:G.Gouldman

Bus stop, wet day, she's there, I say
Please share my umbrella
Bus stop, bus goes, she stays, love grows
Under my umbrella

All that summer we enjoyed it
Wind and rain and shine.
That umbrella we employed it
By August, she was mine

Every morning I would see her waiting at the stop
Sometimes she'd shop and she would show me what she'd bought
Other people stared as if we were both quite insane

Someday my name and hers are going to be the same

That's the way the whole thing started
Silly, but it's true
Thinking of a sweet romance
Beginning in a queue

Came the sun the ice was melting
No more sheltering now
Nice to think that that umbrella
Led me to a vow

Every morning I would see her waiting at the stop
Sometimes she'd shop and she would show me what she'd bought
Other people stared as if we were both quite insane

Someday my name and hers are going to be the same

Bus stop, wet day, she's there, I say
Please share my umbrella
Bus stop, bus goes, she stays, love grows
Under my umbrella

All that summer we enjoyed it
Wind and rain and shine
That umbrella we employed it
By August, she was mine


3.I Can't Tell The Bottom From The Top

Lyrics:Fletcher/Flett
Music:Fletcher/Flett

And every time I get to thinking
With every thought of you
I wanna shout aloud
And then I think about
The love I had inside me
And how you brought what's inside out

So now love's made it to the outside
I wanna to tell the world
Of everything I've found
Somehow your love released
A spring wound up inside me
You've turned my living upside-down

And I can't tell the bottom from the top
Am I standing on my head or on my heels
Is it cloudy is it bright
Is it day or is it night
Am I wrong or am I right
And is it real

Tell me where you learned the magic
The spell you used the day you made me fall
Baby now I know that love is no illusion
I'm upside-down but ten feet tall

And I can't tell the bottom from the top
Am I standing on my head or on my heels
Is it cloudy is it bright
Is it day or is it night
Am I wrong or am I right
And is it real

On and on I drifted with the tide
I didn't know that love could move me so
You filled my life with love and much more besides
And you showed me which way to go

And I can't tell the bottom from the top
Am I standing on my head or on my heels
Is it cloudy is it bright
Is it day or is it night
Am I wrong or am I right
And is it real

5.Poison Ivy

Lyrics:Leiber/Stoller
Music:Leiber/Stoller

She comes up a rose
and everybody knows
she'll get you in dutch
Well you can look but you'd better not touch

Poison Ivy Poison Ivy
Well late at night when you're sleepin
Poison Ivy comes a creepin' all around

She's pretty as a daisy
but look out man she's crazy
She'll really do you in
if you let her get under your skin

chorus

Measles make mumpy
mumps'll make you lumpy
chicken pox will make you jump and twitch
Common cold'll cool you
Whooping cough will fool you
but Poison Ivy Lord will make you itch

You're gonna need an ocean
of Calamine lotion
You'll be scratching like a hound
the minute you start to mess around

6.I'm Alive

Lyrics:C.Ballard Jr
Music:C.Ballard Jr

Did you ever see a man with no heart
Baby, that was me
Just a lonely, lonely man with no heart
Til you set me free

Now I can breathe
I can see
I can touch
I can feel

I can taste all the sugar sweetness in your kiss
You give me all the things I've ever missed
I've never felt like this
I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive

I used to think I was living
Baby, I was wrong
No I never knew a thing about living
Til you came along

Now I can breathe
I can see
I can touch
I can feel

I can taste all the sugar sweetness in your kiss
You give me all the things I've ever missed
I've never felt like this
I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive

Now I can breathe
I can see
I can touch
I can feel

I can taste all the sugar sweetness in your kiss
You give me all the love I've ever missed
I've never felt like this
I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive


7.Jennifer Eccles

Lyrics:Clarke/Hicks/Nash
Music:Clarke/Hicks/Nash

White chalk written on red brick
Our love told in a heart
It's there drawn in the playground
Love kiss hate or adore

I love Jennifer Eccles
I know that she loves me
I love Jennifer Eccles
I know that she loves me

La la la la la la la
la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
la la la la la la

I used to carry her satchels
She used to walk by my side
But when we got to her doorstep
her dad wouldn't let me inside

One Monday morning found out I'd made the grade
Started me thinking had she done the same

verse 2

verse 4

I hope Jennifer Eccles
is going to follow me there
Our love is bound to continue
Love kiss hate or adore Singing

8.He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother

Lyrics:B.Scott/B.Russell
Music:B.Scott/B.Russell

The road is long
With many a winding turn
That leads us to who knows where
Who knows where
But I'm strong
Strong enough to carry him
He ain't heavy, he's my brother

So on we go

His welfare is of my concern
No burden is he to bear
We'll get there

For I know
He would not encumber me
He ain't heavy, he's my brother

If I'm laden at all
I'm laden with sadness
That everyone's heart
Isn't filled with the gladness
Of love for one another

It's a long, long road
From which there is no return
While we're on the way to there
Why not share

And the load
Doesn't weigh me down at all
He ain't heavy he's my brother

He's my brother
He ain't heavy, he's my brother


9.I Can't Let Go

Lyrics:Taylor/Gorgoni
Music:Taylor/Gorgoni

Oh I try and I try but I can't say goodbye

Feel so bad, baby Oh, it hurts me
When I think of how you love and desert me
I'm the broken-hearted toy you play with, baby

You got me going I need you, baby
I can't let go, and I want you, baby
I gotta have you, you know, I can't let go

Though I'm just one of your lovers
And I know there are so many others
You do something strange to me, baby, baby

chorus

Oh I try and I try but I can't say goodbye
Know that it's wrong and I should be so strong
But the thought of you gone makes me want to hold on

chorus x2

I can't let go
I can't let go
I can't let go
I can't let go


10.Fortune Teller

Lyrics:Neville
Music:Neville

Went to a fortune teller
To have my fortune read
I didn't know what to tell her
I had a dizzy feeling in my head

She took a hold of my palm
She said Son you feel kind of warm
And then she looked into a crystal ball
She said You're in love

I said how could that be so
I'm not friendly with the girls I know
She said when the next one arrives
You gotta look 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 lies

I rushed straight back to that woman
Just as mad as I could be
I said I didn't see nobody
Why'd she made a fool of me

Then something struck me
Like lightning from up above
While looking at the fortune teller
I fell in love

Now I'm a happy fella
I'm married to the fortune teller
I'm as happy as I can be
Now I get my fortunes told for free


11.Whatcha Gonna Do 'Bout It

14.On A Carousel

Lyrics:Clarke/Hicks/Nash
Music:Clarke/Hicks/Nash

Riding along on a carousel
Trying to catch up to you
Riding along on a carousel
Will I catch up to you

Horses chasing 'cause they're racing
So near yet so far
On a carousel, on a carousel

Nearer, nearer by changing horses
Still so far away
People fighting for their places
Just get in the way

Soon you'll leave and then I'll lose you
Still we're going round
On a carousel, on a carousel

Round and round and round and round and round
And round and round and round with you
Up, down, up, down, up, down too

As she leaves she drops the presents
That she won before
Pulling ducks out of the water
Got the highest score

Now's my chance and I must take it
A case of do-or-die
On a carousel, on a carousel

Round and round and round and round and round
And round and round and round with you
Up, down, up, down, up, down too

Riding along on a carousel
Trying to catch up to you
Riding along on a carousel
Will I catch up to you

Now we take our ride together
No more chasing her
On a carousel, on a carousel

On a carousel, on a carousel
