Love Potion #9 02:00
lyrics

I took my troubles down to Madame Rue You know that gypsy with the gold-capped tooth She's got a pad down on Thirty-Fourth and Vine Sellin' little bottles of Love Potion Number Nine I told her that I was a flop with chics I've been this way since 1956 She looked at my palm and she made a magic sign She said "What you need is Love Potion Number Nine" She bent down and turned around and gave me a wink She said "I'm gonna make it up right here in the sink" It smelled like turpentine, it looked like Indian ink I held my nose, I closed my eyes, I took a drink I didn't know if it was day or night I started kissin' everything in sight But when I kissed a cop down on Thirty-Fourth and Vine He broke my little bottle of Love Potion Number Nine I held my nose, I closed my eyes, I took a drink I didn't know if it was day or night I started kissin' everything in sight But when I kissed a cop down on Thirty-Fourth and Vine He broke my little bottle of Love Potion Number Nine Love Potion Number Nine Love Potion Number Nine Love Potion Number Nine Source: Musixmatch Songwriters: Jerry Leiber / Mike Stoller

2 parts penance, 1 loss of soul (original version) © 2008 Starburst Records I counted up my sins today It nearly took me all the day I counted some in twos and threes Wishing one might set me free I tried to find my dreams today But they could not be found I tried to breathe new life today No oxygen was found CHORUS My life has changed so many ways New sins replace the old I'm stuck inside an endless trance Two parts penance, one loss of soul Who's sins are these? I do not know I found them on my walk today Who's dreams are these. I couldn’t say I want some as we talk today I counted up my sins today And washed them in the sand Scrubbed them carefully on the rocks Washed each one by hand Repeat Chorus The magnet draws you close to me Gravitational allure You sing, you scream you dance all night You must have found the cure What seemed OK what numbed the pain What drowned your sorrows fast Abruptly fell into the sea With such a mighty crash Repeat Chorus

Yesterday Lennon/McCartney All my troubles seemed so far away Now it looks as though they're here to stay Oh, I believe in yesterday Suddenly I'm not half the man I used to be There's a shadow hangin' over me Oh, yesterday came suddenly Why she had to go, I don't know, she wouldn't say I said something wrong, now I long for yesterday Yesterday Love was such an easy game to play Now I need a place to hide away Oh, I believe in yesterday Why she had to go, I don't know, she wouldn't say I said something wrong, now I long for yesterday Yesterday Love was such an easy game to play Now I need a place to hide away Oh, I believe in yesterday Mm mm mm mm mm mm mm

Any Dream Will Do Jason Donovan I closed my eyes Drew back the curtain To see for certain What I thought I knew Far, far away Someone was weeping But the world was sleeping Any dream will do I wore my coat (I wore my coat) With golden lining (Aaah) Bright colours shining (Aah) Wonderful and new And in the east (And in the east) The dawn was breaking (Aaah) And the world was waking (Aah) Any dream will do A crash of drums, a flash of lights My golden cloaks flew out of sights The colours faded into darkness I was left alone May I return (May I return) To the beginning? (Aaah) The light is dimming (Aah) And the dream is too The world and I (The world and I) We are still waiting (Aaah) Still hesitating (Aah) Any dream will do A crash of drums, a flash of lights My golden cloaks flew out of sights The colours faded into darkness I was left alone May I return (May I return) To the beginning? (Aaah) The light is dimming (Aah) And the dream is too The world and I (The world and I) We are still waiting (Aaah) Still hesitating Any dream will do (Any dream, any dream, any dream) Any dream will do (Any dream, any dream, any dream) Any dream will do (Any dream, any dream, any dream) Any dream will do (Any dream, any dream, any dream) Source: Musixmatch Songwriters: Lloyd-webber Andrew / Rice Timothy Miles Bindon Any Dream Will Do lyrics © The Really Useful Group Ltd., The Really Useful Music Co

Riding Shotgun With The Angels (c) 2008 Jay Carney My 18-wheeler is a cussing & a smoking Logging miles from Memphis to Hoboken This lonely cab is closing in Since my Chelsea’s death, I find it hard to live again 14 happy years Chelsea rode up front with me Singing country songs from L.A. to Tennessee Harmonizing vocals with the radio all the day She filled my life with such joy it took my breath away Chorus: When she sings she takes my soul to heaven Chelsea’s earned her wings in the celestial jamboree I can feel her presence sitting right here by my side Riding shotgun with the angels and me Dangling from the rearview hangs a picture of my wife Chelsea passed on Easter when Cancer took her life We’d go (to) the Grand Ole Opry every chance that we could get She lived her life the fullest and I have no regrets Now Chelsea lives in heaven with the stars from long ago I hear her singing next to me along with my radio It soothes my soul to know she’s found peace in afterlife Hob knobbing with the country stars till wee hours of the night CHORUS: BRIDGE: Chelsea sends me messages that comfort and console Remind me of the fun we had that lives within my soul Chorus When she sings she takes my soul to heaven Chelsea’s earned her wings in the celestial jamboree I can feel her presence sitting right here by my side Riding shotgun with the angels and me Riding shotgun with the angels and me

Why don't we take a little piece of summer sky? Hang it on a tree For that's the way to start to make a pretty world For you and for me And for the sun we'll find a lemon bright balloon You can hold the string Oh, can't you see that little world of ours will be the prettiest thing We can gather rain enough for the stream To hold our happy faces When you want a breeze I'll blow you a kiss or two Take me in your arms and our little world Will be the place of places Nothing else to make but breakfast and love We'll hang a little sign that just says Paradise Population Two I know together we can make a pretty world For me and for you For you It's what I long to do, to do To make a world with you Take me in your arms and our little world Will be the place of places Nothing else to make but breakfast and love We'll hang a little sign that just says Paradise Population Two I know together we can make a pretty world For me and for you For you It's what I long to do, to do To make a world... with you Source: Musixmatch Songwriters: Marilyn Bergman / Alan Bergman / Antonio Adolfo Maurity Saboia / Tiberio Gaspar Rodrigues Perei Ra Pretty World lyrics © Wb Music Corp., Spirit Catalogue Holdings, S.a.r.l.

Would you know my name? If I saw you in heaven Would it be the same? If I saw you in heaven I must be strong And carry on 'Cause I know I don't belong Here in heaven Would you hold my hand? If I saw you in heaven Would you help me stand? If I saw you in heaven I'll find my way Through night and day 'Cause I know I just can't stay Here in heaven Time can bring you down Time can bend your knees Time can break your heart Have you begging please Begging please Beyond the door There's peace, I'm sure And I know there'll be no more Tears in heaven Would you know my name? If I saw you in heaven Would you be the same? If I saw you in heaven I must be strong And carry on 'Cause I know I don't belong Here in heaven Source: Musixmatch Songwriters: Will Jennings / Eric Clapton Tears In Heaven lyrics © Blue Sky Rider Songs, E C Music Ltd

So Ready 02:57

SO READY (c) 2009 Jay Carney Fell so far from the light Into a deep and darkened hole Took all the strength I had Just to recover my soul Now I’m finding the strength To live life this whole new way My fists pounding on my chest It’s now a brand new day Chorus I’m so ready Now I Know Where I Belong Start A Whole New Life Again Put The Past Where It Belongs I’m So Ready To Move On I’m walking free Absorbing the light Connected to the universe Loving with all my might Not afraid to cry Found my inner grace Hoping now to give Back to the human race CHORUS BRIDGE The Devils strong but he won’t win I can see right thru his wicked sins Inhaled the promise of tomorrow Shed the cause of all my sorrows CHORUS

about

a collection of some of my favorite songs sung very poorly

Back in 2010, a friend persuaded me to record an album of favorite songs, both covers and some I had written myself. I was very reluctant because…well, because I can’t sing worth a damn! Nonetheless I did it and burned a small quantity of CDs I’ve shared very sparingly because it embarrasses me to hear how horrible I sound lol.
Well, hide the woman and children, barricade the doors and windows and stick some cotton in your ears because my album is coming out on Bandcamp on July 9 under the name Theodore Frederickson! Its currently on Pre-Order status at starburstrecords.bandcamp.com.
