song: "Help!" group: The Beatles

Help, I need somebody, Help, not just anybody, Help, you know I need someone, help.

When I was younger, so much younger than today, I never needed anybody's help in any way. But now these days are gone, I'm not so self-assured, Now I find I've changed my mind and opened up the doors.

Help me if you can, I'm feeling down And I do appreciate you being round. Help me, get my feet back on the ground, Won't you please, please help me?

And now my life has changed in oh so many ways, My independence seems to vanish in the haze. But every now and then I feel so insecure, I know that I just need you like I've never done before.

Help me if you can, I'm feeling down

And I do appreciate you being round. Help me, get my feet back on the ground, Won't you please, please help me.

When I was younger, so much younger than today, I never needed anybody's help in any way. But now these days are gone, I'm not so self-assured, Now I find I've changed my mind and opened up the doors.

Help me if you can, I'm feeling down And I do appreciate you being round. Help me, get my feet back on the ground, Won't you please, please help me, help me, help me, oh.



song: "You've Got to Hide Your Love Away" group: The Beatles

Here I stand head in hand Turn my face to the wall If she's gone I can't go on Feelin' two-foot small.

Everywhere people stare Each and every day I can see them laugh at me And I hear them say:

Hey, you've got to hide your love away Hey, you've got to hide your love away

How could I even try I can never win Hearing them, seeing them In the state I'm in

How could she say to me Love will find a way Gather round all you clowns Let me hear you say:

Hey, you've got to

hide your love away Hey, you've got to hide your love away.



song: "Ticket to Ride" group: The Beatles

I think I'm gonna be sad, I think it's today, yeah. The girl that's driving me mad Is going away.

She's got a ticket to ride, She's got a ticket to ride, She's got a ticket to ride, But she don't care.

She said that living with me Is bringing her down yeah. For she would never be free When I was around.

She's got a ticket to ride, She's got a ticket to ride, She's got a ticket to ride, But she don't care.

I don't know why she's ridin' so high, She ought to think twice, She ought to do right by me. Before she gets to saying goodbye, She ought to think twice, She ought to do right by me.

I think I'm gonna be sad, I think it's today, yeah. The girl that's driving me mad Is going away, yeah.

She's got a ticket to ride, She's got a ticket to ride, She's got a ticket to ride, But she don't care.

I don't know why she's ridin' so high, She ought to think twice, She ought to do right by me. Before she gets to saying goodbye, She ought to think twice, She ought to do right by me.

She said that living with me, Is bringing her down, yeah. For she would never be free When I was around.

Ah, she's got a ticket to ride, She's got a ticket to ride, She's got a ticket to ride, But she don't care.

My baby don't care, my baby don't care. My baby don't care, my baby don't care. My baby don't care, my baby don't care.



song: "Moonshadow" singer: Cat Stevens

Oh, I'm bein' followed by a moonshadow, moonshadow, moonshadow Leapin' and hoppin' on a moonshadow, moonshadow, moonshadow.

And if I ever lose my hands, lose my plough, lose my land, Oh if I ever lose my hands, oh if.... I won't have to work no more.

And if I ever lose my eyes, if my colors all run dry, Yes if I ever lose my eyes, oh if.... I won't have to cry no more.

And if I ever lose my legs, I wont moan,

and I wont beg, Yes if I ever lose my legs, oh if.... I won't have to walk no more.

And if I ever lose my mouth, all my teeth, north and south, Yes if I ever lose my mouth, oh if.... I wont have to talk...

Did it take long to find me? I asked the faithful light. Did it take long to find me? And are you gonna stay the night?



song: "Peace Train" singer: Cat Stevens

Now I've been happy lately, thinking about the good things to come And I believe it could be, something good has begun.

Oh I've been smiling lately, dreaming about the world as one And I believe it could be, some day it's going to come.

Cause out on the edge of darkness, there rides a peace train Oh peace train take this country, come take me home again

Now I've been smiling lately, thinking about the good things to come And I believe it could be, something good has begun.

Oh peace train sounding louder Glide on the peace train. Come on now peace train

Yes, peace train holy roller, Everyone jump upon the peace train Come on now peace train

Get your bags together, go bring your good friends too `Cause it's getting nearer, it soon will be with you. Now come and join the living, it's not so far from you And it's getting nearer, soon it will all be true. Now I've been crying lately, thinking about the world as it is Why must we go on hating, why can't we live in bliss? Cause out on the edge of darkness, there rides a peace train Oh peace train take this country, come take me home again.



song: "Don't be Shy!" singer: Cat Stevens

Don't be shy just let your feelings roll on by. Don't wear fear or nobody will know you're there. Just lift your head, and let your feelings out instead. And don't be shy, just let your feeling roll on by, on by, on by...

You know love is better than a song. Love is where all of us belong.

So don't be shy just let your feelings roll on by. Don't wear fear or nobody will know you're there, You're there...

Don't be shy just let your feelings roll on by. Don't wear fear or nobody will know you're there. Just lift your head, and let your feelings out instead. And don't be shy, just let your feelings roll on by, on by, on by, etc.



song: "If You Want to Sing Out, Sing Out"

singer: Cat Stevens

Well if you wanna sing out, sing out. And if you wanna be free, be free. ?Cause there's a million things to be, You know that there are.

And if you wanna live high, live high. And if you wanna live low, live low. ?Cause there's a million ways to go, You know that there are.

You can do what you want, The opportunity's on. And if you can find a new way, You can do it today. You can make it all true, And you can make it undo... You see ah ah ah It is easy ah ah ah You only need to know.

Well if you wanna say yes, say yes. And if you wanna say no, say no. ?Cause there's a million ways to go,

You know that there are.

And if you wanna be me, be me. And if you wanna be you, be you. ?Cause there's a million things to do, You know that there are.

Well if you wanna sing out, sing out. And if you wanna be free, be free. ?Cause there's a million things to be... You know that there are You know that there are You know that there are You know that there are You know that there are.
