Gone Fishin’ Words & Music by General Johnson Everybody wants me to be what they want me to be But I can’t be nobody else but me – yeh I’m sick and tired of trying to please everyone else I’m gonna take me some time steal away and please myself I’m gonna walk away and won’t look back If anybody asks where I’m at Gone fishing wasted some time Gone fishing leave my troubles behind Gone fishing resting my mind If I don’t get away I’m gonna lose my mind Places to hide my money is low My friend who asked me for a loan ain’t my friend no more What’s the use in worrying ‘bout the things you can’t do nothing about Be happy go luck yeah time will work it out I’m gonna lock my doors and close my blinds In my window I’m gonna leave a sign Gone fishing wasted some time Gone fishing leave my troubles behind Gone fishing resting my mind If I don’t get away I’m gonna lose my mind hey hey Solo Sing a happy song La la la la la la la la lah La la la la la la la la lah La la la la la la la la lah La la la la la la la la lah I’m gonna lock my doors and close my blinds In my window I’m gonna leave a sign Gone fishing wasted some time Gone fishing leave my troubles behind Gone fishing rest my mind Gone fishing Gone fishing Don’t worry things are gonna be alright Mmm Said don’t you worry everything will be alright La la la la la la la la lah La la la la la la la la lah La la la la la la la la lah La la la la la la la la lah La la la la la la la la lah La la la la la la la la lah La la la la la la la la lah La la la la la la la la lah Copyright 1976 Music In General/BMI

Rock ‘N’ Roll Heart Words & Music by Noel Brown I was on my way to work waiting at the station When I took a funny turn and I wound up a patient The doc examined me he said it won’t take long I’ve been trying to find a pulse but all I get’s a song I think I know your problem I’ll tell you from the start The trouble with you you got a rock ‘n’ roll heart I got the rockin’ pneumonia and the boogie woogie flu Been shakin’ all over and I don’t know what to do I’m worried if I worry it might make things worse Five minutes back I took a turn for the nurse If I was an actor I’d be right for the part A plain old country boy with a rock ‘n’ roll heart I got the rolling arthritis in my sacroiliac There’s a mystery pain rolling down my back My head is spinning and I’m getting confused I just saw a sister wearing blue suede shoes I don’t need a needle just a stylus in the groove And once I hear the rhythm I really got to move There’s a rock ‘n’ roll party at the end of my bed I can’t tell if I’m still alive or dead There’s a note on my door and it’s pinned on with a dart It say’s don’t come in without a rock ‘n’ roll heart Solo I think I’ve been lying here for two or three days I feel pretty good in a purple haze I wanna slip a disc but the doctor says no You can’t get out of bed until you’re ready steady go If you wanna join me and you ain’t been here before Just look for a light above that old green door My temperatures rising and I’m really hot to trot There’s a riot going on now I’ve found my ‘G’ spot You better come quick before I tear myself apart Or someone puts a stake inside my rock ‘n’ roll heart You better come quick before I tear myself apart Or someone puts a stake inside my rock ‘n’ roll heart Copyright 1999 Gommsongs

Don’t Cry Words & Music by Ian Gomm How have you been since lately We haven’t met for quite a while Been talking away but I never seen you smile You say you haven’t had a good time And life’s been playing games with you Well people are strange and the games they play can be cruel So don’t cry don’t cry Bite your lip and dry your eyes Don’t cry don’t cry I only want to see you smile Solo You’ve been living in your own dream Been looking for a love to share Now you’ve been lost in a world of frosty stares So don’t cry don’t cry Bite your lip and dry your eyes Don’t cry don’t cry I only want to see you Smile I really want to see you smiling baby Smile Copyright 1993 Gommsongs

You’ve Broken Every Heart Words & Music by Steve Aparicio and Ian Gomm You’ve broken every heart That ever fell for you You shattered every dream And wished it would come true Now you’re breaking mine Walking out the door I should have read the signs The writing on the wall Everyone can see you’re making a fool of me Everyone can see I can’t let go Solo Let’s turn back a page Where it all began To where it all went wrong Let’s try and understand Feelings deep inside One’s we couldn’t show The things we couldn’t say The things I need to know Everyone can see you’re making a fool of me Everyone can see that I can’t let go Outro Copyright 1999 Gommsongs

You Treat Me Like A King Words & Music by Ian Gomm You’re my number one hero you’re one hell of a girl I’m racked with emotion in this whispering world I could say that I love you but you know that I do Misunderstandings will make us both blue And if I was to break away then I’d stop trying Looking back I know I’d always see you crying You treat me like a king give me everything That my heart desires And you you can be my girl in our social world We are both high fliers Everyday that I wake up and I usually do I’m looking for someone I hope that it’s you Each night you lie waiting for me to come home You count every minute that I’ve been gone And if I was to break away then I’d stop trying Looking back I know I’d always see you crying You treat me like a king give me everything That my heart desires And you you will be my girl in our social world We are both high fliers Solo And if I was to break away then I’d stop trying Looking back I know I’d always see you crying You treat me like a king give me everything That my heart desires And you you can be my girl in our social world We are both high fliers Oh you treat me like a king give me everything That my heart desires And you you can be my girl in our social world We are both high fliers Copyright 1988 Gommsongs
