(Gillespie, Coots)
You go to my head and you linger like a haunting refrain
And I find you spinning 'round in my brain
Like the bubbles in a glass of Champagne
You go to my head like a sip of sparkling Burgundy brew
And I find the very mention of you
Like the kicker in a julep or two
The thrill of the thought that you might give a thought to my plea
Casts a spell over me
Still I say to myself get a hold of yourself
Can't you see that it never can be?
You go to my head with a smile that makes my temperature rise
Like a summer with a thousand Julys
You intoxicate my soul with your eyes
Though I'm certain that this heart of mine
Hasn't a ghost of a chance in this crazy romance
You go to my head
You go to my head
(Reed)
Well I tried to tell you, baby, but It made no sense
Now you got me, baby, up against the fence
Ain't that a shame, shame, shame, shame, the way you do
Well, it's a shame, shame, shame, shame,
Oh it's a shame on you
Well, you walk out in the evening, don't say where you going
Six o'clock in the morning, you come walking home
And ain't that a shame, shame, shame, shame the way you do
Oh, it's a shame, shame, shame, shame,
Yeah it's a shame on you
Well, I've been sitting here waitin', cryin' for you to come home
When I wake up, baby, sitting here all alone
Ain't that a shame, shame, shame, shame the way you do
Well, it's a shame, shame, shame,
Oh it's a shame, shame on you
(Ferry)
I've been thinking now for a long time
How to go my own separate way
It's a shame to think about yesterday,
It's a shame
Now that we are lonely
Life seems to get hard
Alone what a word - lonely
Alone it makes me cry
Thought-train set in motion
Wheels in and around
Express our emotion
Tracks up, then it cracks down
We've been running round in our present state
Hoping help would come from above
But even angels there make the same mistakes
In love
(Ferry)
I tried but I could not find a way
Looking back all I did was look away
Next time is the best we all know
But if there is no next time where to go?
She's the sweetest queen I've ever seen (CPL593H)
See here she comes, see what I mean? (CPL593H)
I could talk talk talk, talk myself to death
But I believe I would only waste my breath
Ooh show me
(D.& P. Everly)
Wine is sweet and gin is bitter
Drink all you can but you won't forget her
You talk too much, you laugh too loud
You see her face in ev'ry crowd
That's the price of love, the price of love
A debt you pay with tears and pain
The price of love, the price of love
It costs you more when you're to blame
Kiss one girl - kiss another
Kiss them all, but you won't recover
You're dancing slow, you're dancing fast
You're happy now, but that won't last
That's the price of love, the price of love
A debt you pay in tears and pain
The price of love, the price of love
It costs you more when you're to blame
(Lennon & McCartney)
I get high when I see you go by
My oh my
When you sigh, my, my inside just flies,
Butterflies
Why am I so shy when I'm beside you?
It's only love, and that is all
But it's so hard loving you
Is it right that you and I should fight
Ev'ry night?
Just the sight of you makes night time bright
Very bright
Haven't I the right to make it up girl?
It's only love and that is all
Why should I feel the way I do?
It's only love, and that is all
But it's so hard loving you
Yes it's hard loving you
Loving you
(Ferry)
I never thought I'd seen you again
Where have you been until now?
Well how are you? how have you been?
It's a long time since we last met
It seems like yesterday when I
First saw you in your red dress smile
How could I forget that day
I know that time spent well is so rare
(Ferry)
You - the hero
So many times
You've loved
And didn't linger
Now my finger
Points at you
- Another loser
You - an island
On your own
Complete
In every detail
Monumental
A precious jewel
Or just a fool
Innovator
It's in your mind
And blood
I watch it simmer
I see you're courting
More despair
No hope?
Not a glimmer
Now you're nothing
But second hand
In glove
With second rate now
Now you're flirting
With heroin
- Or is it cocaine?
Casanova -
Is that your name
Or do you live there?
I know my place
Is here with you
Tonight
But not together
(Ferry)
Oh I was moved by your screen dream
Celluloid pictures of living
Your death could not kill our love for you
Take two people - romantic
Smoky nightclub situation
Your cigarette traces a ladder
Here's looking at you kid
Celebrate years
Here's looking at you kid
Wipe away tears
Long time, since we're together
Now I hope it's forever
Ideal love flies away now
White jacket, mmmn, black tie wings too
You gave her away to the hero
Words don't express my meaning
Notes could not spell out the score
But finding not keeping's the lesson
Here's looking at you kid
Hard to forget
Here's looking at you kid
At least not yet
Your memory stays
It lingers ever
Will fade away never
I'm in with the "in" crowd
I go where the "in" crowd goes.
I'm in with the "in" crowd
And I know what the "in" crowd knows.
Any time of the year
don't you hear?
Dressin' fine
makin' time
We breeze up and down the street.
We get respect from the people we meet
They make way day or night.
They know the "in" crowd is out of sight.
I'm in with the "in" crowd
I know ev'ry latest dance.
When you're in with the "in" crowd
It's easy to find romance.
At a spot where the beat's really hot.
If it's square we ain't there.
We make ev'ry minute count.
Our share is always the biggest amount.
Other guys imitate us
But the original's still the greatest.
We got our own way of walkin'
We got our own way of talkin'
Any time of the year
don't you hear?
Spendin' cash
talkin' trash.
Girl
I'll show you a real good time.
Come on with me and leave your troubles behind
I don't care where you've been
You ain't been nowhere till you been in -
Tell her I'll be waiting in the usual place
With the tired and weary and there's no escape.
To need a woman you've got to know
How the strong get weak and the rich get poor.
Slave to love
slave to love.
You're running with me
don't touch the ground.
We're the restless hearted
not the chained and bound.
The sky is burning
a sea of flame
Though your world is changing I will be the same.
Slave to love
slave to love.
Slave to love
slave to love
I can't escape
I'm a slave to love.
The storm is breaking or so it seems
We're too young to reason to grown up to dream.
Now spring is turning your face to mine
I can hear your laughter
I can see your smile.
Slave to love
slave to love
. . .
Slave to love
slave to love
. . .
Slave to love
I can't escape
I'm a slave to love.
And now the marriage vow is very sacred
The man has put us together and you ought to make us
Stick together c'm on c'm on let's stick together
You know we made a vow to leave one another never.
Now you never miss your water till your well is dry
Come on now baby
give our love a try
And let's stick together c'm on c'm on let's stick together
You know we made a vow to leave one another never.
If you're stuck for a while consider our child
How can it be happy without it's Ma and Pa
Let's stick together c'm on c'm on let's stick together
You know we made a vow to leave one another never.
If you're stuck for a while consider our child
JEALOUS GUY
Roxy Music
I was dreaming of the past, and my heart was beating fast.
I bagan to lose control, I began to lose control.
I didn't mean to hurt you. I'm sorry that I made you cry.
Oh no, I didn't mean to hurt you. I'm yust a jealous guy.
I was feeling insecure you might not love me anymore.
I was shivering inside, I was shivering inside.
I didn't mean ...
I was trying to catch your eyes, though that you was trying to hide.
I was swallowing my pain, I was swallowing my pain.
I Thought
Written By Bryan Ferry & Brian Eno
I thought - you'd be my streetcar named desire
my way - my taste of wine
I thought - you'd be that flame within the fire
one dream that just won't die
All night - looking for new love
impossible true love - nothing at all
looking for new gods - looking for new blood
looking for you
I thought - I'd find you walking in the rain
just like a wayward child
I thought - I'd find you calling out my name
so foolish is my pride
All night - looking for new love
impossible true love - nothing at all
looking for new ways - looking for strange blood
looking for you
I thought - I'd be your streetcar named desire
your man - the one you seek
I thought - I'd take you deep within myself
subtitles when we speak
Hold on - the flower says reach out
the thunder says no shout is greater than mine
listen and hold on - till the day fades out
Mama says: truth is all that matters
lying and deceiving is a sin.
Drifting through a world that's torn and tattered;
Every thought I have don't mean a thing.
Don't stop
dont' stop the dance.
Don't - mama says - don't stop the dance.
Mama says: love is all the matters
beauty should be deeper than your skin.
Living for the moment
lips and lashes;
Will I ever find my way again ?
Don't stop
don't stop the dance.
Don't - mama says - don't stop the dance.
Don't stop
don't stop the dance.
Mama says: only stormy weather
don't know why there's no sun in the sky.
Footsteps in the dark come together
got to keep on moving or I will die.
Don't stop
dont' stop the dance.
Don't - mama says - don't stop the dance.
Don't stop
dont' stop the dance.
Don't - mama says - don't stop the dance.
Don't stop
(Arnheim, Tobias and Lamare)
Sweet and lovely
Sweeter than the roses in May
Sweet and lovely
Heaven must have sent her my way.
Skies above me
Never were as blue as her eyes;
And she loves me
Who would want a sweeter surprise?
When she nestles in my arms so tenderly
There's a thrill that words cannot express.
In my heart a song of love is taunting me
Melody haunting me.
Sweet and lovely
Sweeter than the roses in May
And she loves me
There is nothing more I can say
(Hawkins)
I put a spell on you
Because you're mine
I put a spell on you
Because you're mine
Because you're mine
I put a spell on you
Because you're mine
Because you're mine
You gotta stop the things you do
I ain't lying
You better stop the things you do
I ain't lying
I just can't stand it babe
I just can't stand it babe
I just can't stand it babe
I just can't stand it
I put a spell on you
Because you're mine
Because you're mine
I put a spell on you
I put a spell on you
You've gotta stop the things you do
You've gotta stop the things you do
You've gotta stop the things
Stop the things
Stop the things
(Jagger,Richards)
Please allow me to introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
I've been around for a long, long year
Stole many a man's soul and fate
I was around when Jesus Christ
Had his moment of doubt and pain
Made damn sure that Pilate
Washed his hands and sealed his fate
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game
Stuck around St. Petersburg
When I saw it was time for a change
Killed the Czar and his ministers
Anastasia screamed in vain
I rode a tank
In a general's rank
When the Blitzkrieg raged
And the finest stank
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game
I watched with glee
While your kings and queens
Fought for ten decades
For the Gods they made
I shouted out
";Who killed the Kennedys?";
When after all
It was you and me
Let me please introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
And I laid tracks for troubadours
Who get killed before they reached Bombay
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game
Just as every cop is a criminal
And all you sinner's Saints
As heads is tails
Just call me Lucifer
'Cause I'm in need of some restraint
So if you meet me
Have some courtesy
Have some sympathy and some taste
Use all your well learned qualities
(Brown / Zackery)
River of salt
Falling from my eyes
It seems a though
I can't realise
My love has gone
She has left this town
River of salt
Keeps flowing down
Day turns to night
Still tears fall
Since we're apart
They won't stop at all
River of salt
Your tears won't end
Will I see
My love again?
Will I see
My love again?
(Ross,Bobrick)
The way she walks
The way she talks
How long I can I pretend
Oh I can't help it I'm in love
With the girl of my best friend
Her lovely hair her skin so fair
I could go on 'n' never end
No I can't help it I'm love
With the girl of my best friend
I want to tell her how I love her so
And hold her in my arms, but then
What if she got real mad and told him so
I could never face either once again
The way they kiss their happiness
Will my aching heart ever mend
Or will I always be in love
With the girl of my best friend
Never end
Never end
Because you're mine
(Winkler, Rauch, Sigman)
Answer me, my love
Just what sin I been guilty of?
Tell me how I came lose your love
Answer me, my love
You were mine yesterday
I believed that love was here to stay
Won't you tell me where I've gone astray?
Answer me, my love
If you're happier without me
I'll try not to care
But if you still think about me
Listen my prayer
You must know I've been true
Won't you say that we can start anew?
In my sorrow now I turn to you
Answer me, my love
(Newton)
Amazing grace how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now I'm found
Was blind but now I see
'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fear relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed
We're been there ten thousand years
Bright, shiny as the sun
We're no less days to sing God's praise
Then when we first begun
(Lennon,McCartney)
When I call you up
Your line's engaged
I have had enough
So act your age
We have lost the time
That was so hard to find
And I will lose my mind
I you won't see me
I don't know why you
Should want to hide
But I can't get through
My hands are tied
I won't want to stay
I don't have much to say
But I can't turn away
And you won't see me
Time after time
You refuse to even listen
I wouldn't mind
If I knew what I was missing
Though the days are few
They're filled with tears
And since I lost you
It feels like years
Yes, it seems so long
Girl, since you've been gone
And I just can't go on
If you won't see me
You won't see me
(Marvell,Strachey,Link)
Oh will you never let me be?
Oh will you never set me free?
The ties that bound us are still around us
There's no escape that I can see
And still those little things remain
That bring me happiness or pain
A cigarette that bears a lipstick's traces
An airline ticket to romantic places
And still my heart has wings
These foolish things
Remind me of you
A tinkling piano in the next apartment
Those stumbling words that told you what my heart meant
A fairground's painted swings
These foolish things
Remind me of you
You came, you saw, you conquered me
When you did that to me, I somehow knew that this had to be
The winds of March that make my heart a dancer
A telephone that rings - but who's to answer?
Oh, how the ghost of you clings
These foolish things
Remind me of you
Gardenia perfume ling'ring on a pillow
Wild strawb'ries only seven francs a kilo
And still my heart has wings
These foolish things
Remind me of you
The park at evening when the bell has sounded
The Isle de France with all the girls around it
The beauty that is Spring
These foolish things
Remind me of you
I know that this was bound to be
These things have haunted me
For you've entirely enchanted me
The sigh of midnight trains in empty stations
Silk stockings thrown aside, dance invitations
Oh, how the ghost of you clings
These foolish things
Remind me of you
First daffodils and long excited cables
And candlelight on little corner tables
And still my heart has wings
These foolish things
Remind me of you
The smile of Garbo and the scent of roses
The waiters whistling as the last bar closes
The song that Crosby sings
These foolish things
Remind me of you
How strange, how sweet to find you still
These things are dear to me
That seem to bring you so near to me
The scent of smould'ring leaves, the wail of steamers
Two lovers on the street who walk like dreamers
Oh, how the ghost of you clings
These foolish things
Remind me of you, just you
(Robinson, Tarplin, Moore)
People say I'm the life of the party
'Cause I tell a joke or two
Although I may be laughin' loud and hearty
Deep inside I'm blue
So take a good look at my face
You'll see my smile looks out of place
If you look closer it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears
I need you, need you
Since you left me
If you see me with another girl
Seemin' like I'm havin' fun
Although she may be cute
She's just a substitute
Because you're the only one
So take a good look at my face
You see my smile looks out of place
If you look closer it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears
I need you, need you
I'm masquerading
My hope is fading
Oh yeah, since you put me down
My smile is my makeup
I wear since my break-up with you
Baby take a good look at my face
You'll see my smile looks out of place
If you look closer it's easy to trace
(Berns,Ragovoy)
Didn't I make you feel like you are the only one?
Didn't I give you everything that I possibly can?
But with all the love I give you it's never enough
But I'm gonna show you, baby, that I really can be tough
So come on, come on, come on, come on, take it
Take another little piece of my heart now, baby
Break another little bit of my heart now, honey
Have another little piece of my heart now, baby
You know you got it if makes you feel good
You're out on the streets looking good
And you know deep down in your heart that it ain't right
You never, never hear me when I cry at night
I tell myself that I can't stand the pain
But when I hold you in my arms, I'll say it again
So come on, come on, come on, come on take it
Take another little piece of my heart now, baby
Break another little bit of my heart now, honey
Have another little piece of my heart now, baby
You know you got it if makes you feel good
(Hunter,Wonder)
I remember just before we met
That every night and day
I had to live the life
of a lonely one
I remember meeting you
Discovering love could be so cool
When it's shared by two
instead of the lonely one
When you said you love me
We could not be parted
Said I build my world around you
I'm so thankful that I found you
Because loving you has made my life sweeter than ever
I've never felt like this before
Loving you has made my life so more sweeter than ever
Each night I said we'd never part
For all the love within my heart grows stronger
From day to day
As best I can, and how I try
To reassure you and satisfy
'Cause I'd be lost if you went away
'Cause I really need you
And I need for you to need me too
I built my world around you
I'm so thankful that I've found you
Because loving you has made my life sweeter than ever
Loving you has made my life so more sweeter than ever
'Cause I really love you
And I'm thankful that you love me too
I have built my world around you
I am truly glad, I found you
Because loving you has made my life sweeter than ever
Loving you has made my life so more sweeter than ever
I never felt like this before
(Wiener, Gold, Gluck Jnr.)
Nobody knows where my Johnny has gone
But Judy left the same time
Why was he holding her hand
When he's supposed to be mine
It's my party and I'll cry if I want to
Cry if I want to, cry if I want to
You would cry too, if it happened to you
Play all my records, keep dancing all night
But leave me alone for a while
'Til Johnny's dancing with me
I have no reason to smile
It's my party and I'll cry if I want to
Cry if I want to, cry if I want to
You would cry too if it happened to you
Judy and Johnny just walked through that door
But like a queen with her king
Oh, what a birthday surprise
Judy's wearing his ring
It's my party, and I'll cry if I want to
Cry if I want to, cry if I want to
(Kolber/Mann)
I love how your eyes close
Whenever you kiss me
And when I'm away from you
I love how you miss me
I love the way you always
Treat me tenderly
But darlin' most of all
I love how you love me
I love how your heart beats
Whenever I hold you
I love how you think of me
Without being told to
I love the way your touch
Is so heavenly
But darling' most of all
I love how you love me...
I love how your eyes close
Whenever you kiss me
And when I'm away from you
I love how you miss me
I love the way you always
Treat me tenderly
But darlin' most of all
I love how you love me
....love me, love me
Love how you hug me
I love how you squeeze me
I love how you squeeze me
Tease me, please me
Love how you tease me
I love the way you always treat me tenderly
But darling most of all, I love how you love me
(Wilson,Christian)
Well it's been building up inside me for
I don't know how long
I don't know why
But I keep thinking
Something's bound to go wrong
But she looks in my eyes
And makes me realise
When she says ";Don't worry baby";
Don't worry baby
Everything will turn out all right
Don't worry baby
Each morning I awake to find the sunlight
Softly shining on her hair
And then I realise I'm wrong in thinking
That she really doesn't care
There's magic in her eyes
That makes me come alive
When she says ";Don't worry baby";
Don't worry baby
Everything will turn out alright
Don't worry baby
She tells me ";Baby when you leave today just
Take along my love with you
And if you knew how much I loved you baby
Nothing could go wrong for you";
What she does to me
When she makes love to me
And she says ";Don't worry baby";
Everything will turn out alright
(Goffin/King)
You never wear a stitch of lace
And powder's never on your face
You're always wearing jeans except on Sunday
Oh please don't ever change
No don't you ever change
I kinda like you just the way you are
You don't know the latest dance
But when it's time to make romance
Your kisses let me know you're not a tomboy
So please don't ever change
No don't you ever change
Oh promise me you're always gonna be
As sweet as you are
I love you when you're happy
I love you when you're blue
I love you when you're mad at me
So how can I get tired of you?
A lot of other girls I've seen
They know how to treat guys mean
But you would rather die than ever hurt me
So please don't ever change
No don't you ever change
No promise me you're always gonna be
As sweet as you are
(Leiber,Stoller)
You don't like crazy music
You don't like rockin' bands
You just wanna go to a movie show
And sit there holdin' hands
You're so square
But baby, I don't care
You don't like hot rod racin'
Or drivin' late at night
You just wanna park where it's nice and dark
You just wanna hold me tight
You so square
But baby I don't care
You don't know any dance steps that are new
But no one else can love like you do
I don't know why my heart flips
I only know it does
I wonder why I love you baby
I guess it's just because
You're so square
(Ferry/Leonard)
Girl you drive me crazy
Why you never come around
Now you're such a lady
Why your feet don't touch the ground
Tell me pretty baby
Say you'll never let me down
Autumn clearing
All the leaves are falling down
I can see clearly now
(Dylan)
Oh where have you been, my blue eyed son?
Where have you been, my darling young one?
I've stumbled on the side of twelve misty mountains
Walked and I've crawled on six crooked highways
Stepped in the middle of seven sad forests
Been out in front of a dozen dead oceans
I've been ten thousand miles in mouth of a graveyard
And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall
And what did you see, my blue eyed son?
What did you see, my darling young one?
I saw a new-born baby with wild wolves around it
I saw a highway of diamonds with nobody on it
I saw a black branch with blood that kept drippin'
I saw a room full of men with their hammers a bleedin'
A white ladder all covered with water
I saw ten thousand talkers whose tongues were all broken
I saw guns and sharp swords in the hands of young children
And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall
And what did you hear, my blue eyed son?
What did you hear, my darling young one
I heard the sound of thunder that roared out a warning
Heard the roar of a wave that could drown the whole world
Heard one hundred drummers whose hands were a blazin'
Heard ten thousand whisperin' and nobody listenin'
Heard one person starve, I heard many people laughin'
Heard the song of a poet who died in the gutter
Heard the sound of a clown who cried in the alley
And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall
Oh who you did meet, my blue eyed son?
Who did you meet, my darling young one?
I met a young child beside a dead pony
I met a white man who walked a black dog
I met a young woman whose body was burning
A young girl, she gave me a rainbow
I met one man who was wounded in love
Another man who was wounded with hatred
And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall
Oh what'll you do now, my blue eyed son?
What'll you do now, my darling young one?
I'm goin' back out 'fore the rain starts a-fallin'
Walk throught the depths of the deepest black forest
Where the people are many and their hands are all empty
Where the pellets of poison are flooding their waters
Where the home in the valley meets the damp dirty prison
Where the executioners face is always well hidden
Where hunger is ugly, where souls are forgotten
Where black is the colour, and none is the number
And I'll tell it and think it and speak it and breathe it
And reflect it from the mountains so all souls can see it
Then I'll stand in the ocean until I start sinking
But I'll know my song well before I start singing
And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall
(Ferry)
When she walks in the room
Then you know
Why your date says it's late
Time to go
And you know you can't leave
You must stay
'Til her laughter has drifted away
So you talk to the walls
Always know
'Cause they've seen it all
And heart it all before
And your fair weather friends
Fail to speak
They're so afraid still waters run deep
And they're don't understand
Or perceive
That you can't see the woods for the trees
Christmas trees you were sure
Weren't the sort
To build up your hopes
Then sell you short
Yeah to build you up
And sell you short....
All your life you were taught to believe
Then a moment of truth - you're deceived
all the wine in your life's all dried up
- is now the time to give up?
Like the soft paper cup that you squeeze
So you take this and that and then some more
And you make your way through the door
You make up your way through the door....
(Reed)
What goes on
What goes on in your mind?
I think that I am falling down.
What goes on in your mind?
I think that I am upside down.
Lady, be good, do what you should, you know it will work alright.
Lady, be good, do what you should, you know it will be alright.
I'm going up, and I'm going down.
I'm going from side to side.
See the bells, up in the sky,
Somebody's cut their string in two.
Lady, be good, do what you should, you know it will work alright.
Lady, be good, do what you should, you know it will be alright.
One minute born, one minute doomed,
One minute up, one minute down.
What goes on in your mind?
I think that I am falling down.
Lady, be good, do what you should, you know it will work alright.
Lady, be good, do what you should, you know it will be alright.
How does it feel to be loved?
How does it feel to be loved?
(Ferry)
So I send an SOS
Semaphore myself
Catch me falling finally
Through the air and underground
Everywhere this sound
Screams whisper ";I can't breathe";
I feel it in my bones
Though I know I'm not alone
You're spinning far too far from me
So cruel to be so kind
Now I know I'll always find
This island earth
A mystery
As I stumble through the dark
Dream lovers dream apart
Starry eyed a vision rushes in
Do I wonder or care
My spirit's bleeding God knows where
A never ending stream
I tried to love, tried to find
My soul in shadows running blind
And restless as the sea
Via sidewalks through the haze
Wandering as in a maze
Lost in number time and space
So near and yet so far
Castaway as strangers are
This island earth
And you and me
(J.J.Cale)
Have you heard that rumour that's going around?
You got it made, way across town
It's the same old story, tell me where does it end?
Yes I heard the news, it's the same old blues again
When I wrote you a letter, you must have read it wrong
I stood at your doorway but you was gone
I took a lot of time and let the telephone ring
It's the same old blues, same old blues again
When you give me the business, well did in your mind
'Cause I've got a lot of patience and I got a lot of time
It's the same old story, tell me where does it end?
It's the same old blues, same old blues again
I'm gonna find me a mountain, I'm gonna hide out
I ain't talking to you and I ain't yet coming out
'Cause I heart that rumour, tell me where does it end?
Yes I heard the news, it's the same old blues again
(Jamison)
If I was a songbird way up there
I'd go with love most everywhere
I'll be the moon when the sun goes down
Just to let you know that I'm still around
That's how strong my love is, that's how strong my love is
That's how strong my love is, that's how strong my love is
I'd be the weeping willow drowning in my tears
And you could go swimming when you're here
And I'd be the rainbow after the tears are gone
Wrap you in my colours, keep you warm
That's how strong my love is, that's how strong my love is
That's how strong my love is, that's how strong my love is
I'd be the ocean so deep and wide
And get all the tears whenever you cried
And I'd be the breeze after the storm is gone
To dry your eyes and wrap you warm
That's how strong my love is, that's how strong my love is
That's how strong my love is, that's how strong my love is
That's how strong my love is, that's how strong my love is
So much love, so much love
That's how strong my love is
Any kind of love you want, I would get for you
Any kind of love, any kind of love
That's how strong my love is...that's how it is
(Green/Hodges)
I don't know why I love you like I do
After the things that you put me through
You stole my money, my cigarettes
I haven't see hide nor hair of you yet
I wanna know, won't you tell me
I'd really love to stay...
Take me to the river, and wash me down
She cleans my soul
Put my feet on the ground
I don't know why you treated me so bad
After the things we could have had
Love is emotion that I can't forget
My sweet sixteen will never regret
Oh wanna know, won't you tell me
I'll be in love to stay
Take me to the river...
Hold me, love me
Please me, tease me
Till I can, till I can...
I don't know why I love you like I do
After the changes you put me through
Your sixteen candles are right on my wall
They tell me who made a fool of them all
I wanna know, won't you tell me
I'll be in love to stay
Take me to the river
Take me to the river
Take me to the river
Walk me to the water
Walk me to the water
Take me to the river
Just walk me to the water
Walk me to the water
Take me to the river
Take me to the river...

Here is a rainbow for your hair
Here is another sign of the times
We live we die
We laugh we cry
We know not why
Lipstick 'n leather wear 'n tear
Of another sign of the times
We're chained and bound
Hard lines, crack down
On stony ground
Here is a taste of here and now
Red is the bloody sign of the times
The bride stripped bare
Of all despair
We're cut but we don't care
Here is a rainbow for your hair
Here is another sign of the times
Light up in anger I'll be there
Fight for a sign of the times
We live we die
We laugh and we cry
We know not why
Bent on a life between the lines
End on a sign of the times
(Traditional).
I wish I was in Carrickfergus
Only for nights in Ballygrand
I would swim over the deepest ocean
Just to see my love before I die
But the sea is wide and I cannot swim over
Nor have I wings so I could fly
I wish I could meet a handsome boatman
To carry me over my love and I
In Kilkenny it is reported
On marble stones as black as ink
With gold and silver I did support her
But I'll sing no more till I've had a drink
Well I'm drunk today and I'm seldom sober
A handsome rover from town to town
But I am sick now my days are numbered
Come all you young men and lay me down
Come all you young men and lay me down
(Ferry)
Well I rush out blazin
My pulse is racin'
As the rain streams down my face
There's no turning back now
To fight with fate
Outnumbered 'n out of place
They said go west young man, that's best
It's there you'll feel no pain
Bel-Air's okay if you dig the grave
But I want to live again
Can't let go
There's a madness in my soul tonight
Can't let go
Must ride like the storm
Can't let go
Will I run out of control tonight
Can't let go
Until every trace is gone
It's a winding road from Cuesta way
Down sunset to the beach
Though Canoga Park is a straight safe drive
It's too far outta reach
But now the headlights are flashin' by so fast
All directions seems the same
And the windscreen wipers keep a beat repeatin'
You can't let go again
What's in a name on the street tonight
I'm only a face in the crowd
All in the dark and afraid tonight
Nowhere to run or to hide
But I can't let go
Sometimes the world outside'll take you in
With just a smile
And you so blinded with desire
A hundred sleepless nights have left me
Wasted and so cold
But I can take it I'm hangin' on
Can't let go
There's a madness in my soul tonight
Can't let go
Must ride it like the storm
Can't let go
Will I run out of control tonight
Can't let go
Until every trace is gone
(Goffin,King)
Tonight you're mine completely
You give your love so sweetly
Tonight the light of love is in your eyes
Will you love me tomorrow?
Is this a lasting treasure
Or just a moments pleasure
Can I believe the magic of your sighs
Will you still love me tomorrow?
Tonight with words unspoken
You say that I'm the only one
But will my heart be broken
When the night meets the mornin' sun
I'd like to know that your love
Is love I can be sure of
So tell me now and I won't ask again
Will you still love me tomorrow?
So tell me now and I won't ask again
Will you still love me tomorrow?
(Banks, Brooks)
Taxi!
Take me to the other side of town
Just as fast you can
Taxi!
Before my baby puts me down
Now please, won't you hurry
See, she's got me worried
Don't want to lose her love
Cross town is too slow
Hitchhike into no no
She's all I'm thinking of.
Taxi!
Got some catching up to do
Taxi!
Like a fool I broke her heart in two
And start your meter running
Get your engine humming
Just wanna see her
Just wanna see her
Get along the meddle
Tonight I'm gonna settle
Had a seizure
And I know it grieves her
Taxi!
Take me to my baby's place just as fast you can
Taxi!
You got to get me there on time
Freeway will be quicker
No man's gonna get her
I'm going out of my mind
She is why I'm living
This is why I'm willing
Jumping red lights, stop signs
(Smith, Miner)
Protect me in your arms
I want your tender charms
I'm a lonely, I'm blue
I need you, your love true.
Rescue me
Rescue me
Take my heart
Take your love
And ev'ry part
I'm a lonely and I'm blue
I need you and your love true.
Rescue me
Rescue me
Protect me in your arms
I want your tender charms
I'm a lonely, baby
Rescue me
(Doris, Gregory)
Just one look and I fell so hard in love with you
I found out how good it feels to have your love
Say you will, will be mine forever and always
Just one look and I knew that you were my only one
I though I was dreaming but I was wrong
But I'm gonna keep on scheming till I make you my own
So you see I really care, without you I'm nothing
Just one look and I know I'll get you someday
Just one look
(Reed)
And what costume shall the poor girl wear
To all tomorrow's parties
A hand-me-down dress from who knows where
To all tomorrow's parties
And where will she go and what she gonna do
When midnight comes around
She turn once more to Sunday's clown
And cry behind the door
And what costume shall the poor girl wear
To all tomorrow's parties
Linens and silks of last night's gowns
To all tomorrow's parties
And what will she do with Thursday's rags
When Monday comes around?
She'll turn once more to Sunday's clown
And cry behind the door
And what costume shall the poor girl wear
To all tomorrow's parties
For Thursday's child is Sunday's clown
For whom none will go mourning
A blackened shroud a hand-me-down gown
Of rags and silks; a costume
Fit for one who sits and cries
(Ferry)
Too fast to live
Too young to die
One stolen babe
A certain smile
We never close babe
We dance all night
I'm lost inside babe
Your painted smile
The name of the place
The name of the place
You'll never know babe
The state I'm in
It's a plastic world babe
No tiger skin
Don't talk to me
Your perfume sighs
I'm lost inside babe
Your painted smile
(Ferry/Eno)
Hanging round endlessly
Dog eat dog - dead end street
Brave new world
I can't break you down
I can see there is no way out
Wild and free in dead of night
I can dream - what I want I get
Out of touch with all that kitchen jive
Wildcat days - lonely nights
Fair is foul - foul is fair
I cry out loud but there's no-one there
The more we live the most who die
Wildcat days - lonely nights
(Ferry)
I didn't know which way to turn
I didn't know which way to turn
Can't control my feelings if I tried
Right from wrong from left to right
I didn't know which way to turn
Walk on ice feel your fingers burn
Walk on ice feel your fingers burn
And the world you know
Easing out of time
Can't control my feelings if I tried
Can't control my feelings if I tried
And the world you know
Easing out of time
Easing out of time...
(Ferry)
Havana moon
You got me in the strangest mood
Just me myself no-one else
Could ever be so blue
No backstreet woman
No grand hotel
The only face - out of place
An empty shell
Havana moon
Nobody knows me like you do
Nowhere to turn I never learn
I can't break through
No backstreet woman
No grand hotel
The only face - out of place
An empty shell
You make me nervous
Your telephone
You drive me crazy
I want to be alone
I want to be alone
Me myself no-one else
(Ferry)
Where do we go from here
Your place or mine
What do you want from me
And is there time?
Where do we go from here
I wish I knew
Getting too hot to bear
Let's keep it cool
Where do we go from here
I'm in the mood
Living on borrowed time
Let's make a move
Don't ask me why
My heart is breaking
Don't get me wrong this time
Trouble in mind
I'm tired of wanting
Some other spring some time
Don't ask me why
My heart is yearning
Don't get me wrong this time
Trouble in mind
My heart is breaking
Some other spring some time
(Ferry)
So you say
You're living just for fun
Isn't it enough?
So you say
You wait o will it come
Isn't it enough?
You a prisoner of loving
You're chained and bound
I could never be the one
In the moonlight and the sun
O Mamouna Mamouna run
You and me
We're just like night and day
The here and now
The ghost of yesterday
Hack and tear
We're prisoners of loving
We're chained and bound
There's a road I've got to take
A thread you got to break
(Ferry)
Tick tick time it don't mean nothing
Evil eye me high above
Tick tick time and time is money
Deep inside you can't deny my love
Gemini moon
Tick tick time o mad desire
Black cat bone moanin'
Tick tick time o light the fire
Deep inside you can't deny my love
The hanged man card
The sacrifice
The change of heart
Tick tick time toil and trouble
Jet black coal my soul on fire
Tick tick time my mind is rocking
Deep inside you can't deny my love
Gemini moon
(Ferry)
I want to be just everything
More than you need
I want to hear you call
Nothing but me
I'd be lost on my own
A bird on the wing
Heaven knows like a bird
I see everything
I want to play on night to night
The world on a string
You look at me
And I wonder what goes on
All that money could buy
All of those things
I could never be sure
Where to begin
Friday night in the rain
Somebody new
Better now babe never
Take it from me
I got nothing but no
So many times
Hold it out to me now
(Ferry)
From time to time you get the sign
Move your body right next to mine
From day to day you get nowhere
Oh baby don't leave me there
Lovey dovey on me
Lovey dovey on me
And when you tell me pass it on
I'll pass it on...
It's a chain reaction it never stop
What's on your mind
A chain reaction it never stop
Think about you all the time
Oh baby what's on your mind
No sympathy dedicate it to memory
Oh turn it on treat me square
How can I be everywhere boy...
I'm down on my knees
Down on my knees
Lovey dovey on me
Lovey dovey on me
And when you tell me pass it on
I'll pass it on...
(Kurt Weill/Maxwell Anderson)
For it's a long, long time
from May to December
And the days grow short
when you reach September
And the Autumn weather
Turns the leaves to flame
And I haven't got time
For the waiting game
And the days dwindle down
to a precious few
September November
And these few precious days
I'd spend with you
These golden days
I'd spend with you
When you meet with the young man early in Spring
They court you in song and rhyme
They woo you with words and a clover ring
But if you examine the goods they bring
They have little to offer but the songs they sing
And a plentiful waste of time of day
A plentiful waste of time
(Ferry)
My girl Friday she no square
She like lotus blossom in her hair
Be-bop records and something new
Sometimes borrowed but she's never blue
Oh no........not Tokyo Joe
Way past midnight - she not home
She cut the ice down the Danger Zone
Water-tight dresses - she don't care
A trifle risqu¨¦, a tart, no sir........
Oh no........sounds like Tokyo Joe
Geisha girl show you she adore you
Two oriental eyes implore you
Femme fatale or ingenue?
She very cunning, fiendish clever
Geisha girl suffer many times a fool
Sayonara moon
When all the world's a stage, oh where are you?
Tokyo Rose on the radio
Or Diz 'n Bird puttin' on the moan
Tappin' out telexes to Tupelo
Dear John, doh ray me fah so?
Let's go........call for Tokyo Joe
Walkin' tall down the Danger Zone
She hokey-cokey till the cows come home
Big shot - from the hip - neon cool
Say, when you've been around, what's left to do?
Don't know? Ask Tokyo Joe
So inscrutable her reply
";Ask no question and tell me no lie";
GI boys howlin' out for more
VIP'S purrin' ";je t'adore";........
Ah so........that's Tokyo Joe
(Ferry)
Here in the hush of evenin'
On a night in June
Overhearin' conversations
Bayin' at the moon
Suddenly a voice I'm hearin's
Sweet to my ear
This is tomorrow's callin'
Wishin` you were here
Layin' in my hotel bedroom
Feelin' ceilin' blues
Wall to wall a TV's twitchin'
Clearly not a muse
Then flashin' through the interference
Beams a thousand tunes
This is tomorrow callin'
What have I to lose?
Truckin' by the railway station
I'm on the road again
Steerin' clear of all temptation
Unto the point of pain
When steamin' through on cue
I hear that wailin' whistle blow
If this is tomorrow callin'
Oh what a way to go!
Day to day you live old fashioned
Hi-toned, fancy free
A double take, an image-spittin'
Tailored to a T
While history is tellin' you
The same old thing
This is tomorrow callin'
Let's stick a new oar in
This is tomorrow callin'
Y'all 'n
Come on in
(Ferry/Thomas)
Once again
You're the song
I'm the one
Who turns the pages
There you go
Flying high
Here am I
Rock of ages
Ring the changes
Ring all changes
Try to move me as of old
Rock-a-bye me
Rock of ages
Tough my soul
Lost again
All alone
Turned to stone
Cold and sober
After you
There's no fun
On the run
The party's over
Ring the changes
Ring all changes
Do you move me as of old
Rock-a-bye me
Rock of ages
Touch my soul
Who can say
Here today
Where we'll stray
Gone tomorrow
After all
Is said and done
Will you stay
And share my sorrow?
Sing your praises
Sing all praises
Still you move me
Knock me cold
Rock-a-bye me
Rock of ages
You touched my soul
(Ferry)
When the world outside of you
Seems to weigh too much for you
Then draw within' yourself
For there is no-one else
Well it's a sin
What I'm sayin'
But it's truth
Black and blue has turned to grey
Real life pictures gone astray
But don't give in
Imagination rules again
It's a sin
What I'm sayin'
But it's the truth
Party doll
Oh how you turn me on
Now the day's for sleepin'
For I'll be leapin' all night long
Party doll
Without you I can't go on
Now the way I'm figurin'
You'll be Leda
And I'll be Swann........
It's a sin
What I'm sayin'
But it's truth
And if our secret love
Is haunting you -
No-one can hold me
Like you used to do........
Party doll - what's your game?
Do you move, or entertain
What people say
When it don't mean a thing
It's a sin
Heads they lose
Tails you win
Party doll - I must confess
This wishin' well of loneliness
Has dragged you down
I'll wind you up - let's twist again
It's a skin
Skin to skin
Amen
(Ferry)
Now is the moment
Here is the place
And soon's the time to go
Seeing's believin'
Or so he thought once
Now he's not so sure
One kiss - one for the road - what is more?
One kiss - roughly expressing all that lips are for
Where do they come from?
Doesn't she speak?
Where can they co from here?
Forever or never
Or once in a while
Their situation's clear
One kiss - never too late to miss
One too many a broken-up affair - like this
Spinning together
Drifting away
The song of love is strange
A never ending
";See you soon";
Too late - the music changed
One kiss - what kind of end is this?
One more touching impression - one lost love - one kiss
Just as he's trying
To open the door
He fumbles with the key
Clumsily playing for time
Without words
Some things you can only feel
One kiss - lost in shade
One tear - ever so slowly falling left to fade
(Ferry)
Love Me Madly Again
Are you still cutting it on the street
Do you make savage love when you meet
In the zigzag shadows that promises much
Don't talk about it - Show me
Talkin' about it's - Easy
Don't talk about it - Love me up
Is that lightning exciting ya quite as much
Would I could feel it, would I could touch
Don't talk about it - It's not the same
Love me madly - Once again
Don't make it easy for me
Some like it tough you see
Loving is easy for me
A whole lotta love has passed this way
Don't talk about it - Show me
Talkin' about it's - Easy
Don't talk about it - Love me up
Is it as passionate as it seemed?
Was it for real or some kind of dream?
Don't talk about it - It's not the same
Love me madly - Once again
And should we meet again
Uncertain, out of reach
On the other side of time
Barriers broken
Thoughts entwine
Never words spoken
Love me madly again
And who can draw the line
A strand from me to you
A world apart, a smile
Loving is easy
Hard to end
Love letters tearing
Love me madly again
And when you find the time
Let's share a silk caress
Somewhere for a while
Mirror to mirror
Frame on frame
Within' without you
Love me madly again
(Ferry / Marr)
Got your money on the table
And the devil in your eye
Who is that woman with the crooked smile?
You got to go with what you feel
A little loving is a dangerous thing
Black is the ocean - a burning sky
Her nature's wild - hard to beat the right stuff
It's mountain high - river deep the right stuff
Got your pearls on a string
And your skin's so bare
Over your shoulder there's a world out there
You got the nerve - you gonna win
Boy you're playing with a dangerous thing
So it goes without saying
She's the queen of the Nile
Lion woman with the crooked smile
You got the nerve - who's gonna win?
Boy you're playing with a dangerous thing
Send me the woman on a bended knee
Emerald eyes in desert heat
She's mountain high - river deep the right stuff
Send me the woman to fight for me nature's wild - hard to beat
She's mountain high - river deep the right stuff
(Ferry)
Hark the frozen chimes of winter
Crystal shimmer in your mind
To the first time when you saw her
You implored her to be kind
In the open fields around you
All before you gone to ground
Both the question and the answer
Deep inside you - you shall find
And while you're strollin'
Through the summer of your years
Enchanted, a garden overgrown
Don't call me sentimental
Those of you who care
Could find there a lover and a friend.....to the end
And if you're taken
by the sprit of your age
No reason to carve a cornerstone
Sway me, trade me
Your philosophy-
First you're sowin'
Then you're growin'
Then you reap......until you sleep
Will you scale the silver studded mountain
Where contemplation'll spring to mind
See the veiled prophet's withered gaze
Reflect the ";nouvelle-vague";
Glazed visions imprisoned in your mind
Unwinding rivers flowing through the meadows
To the sea - paths of glory
Through shifting glades to fall
Present laughter and the memory
Of troubles you have seen
It is written in your mind
(Ferry)
Can't you hear me talkin' to you
I'm callin' you one more time
All night operator
Dial me a better line
Can't you hear me talkin' to you
Do telephones make you cry?
I try to write letters
Only my pen runs dry
Though my words sound so confused
The feeling is running strong
Stick tight operator
Help me to pass it on
final connection
A bridge before the fall
Receiver unrestin'
I count on your call
Am I just a number to you
A handful of empty sighs
All night operator
Reader between the lies
With half the world dreamin'
I see through your eyes
A switchboard breathin'
A diary of crossed lines
Can't you hear me talkin' to you
I'm callin' you one more time
All night operator
Dial me better line
If you feel me driftin' away
Slippin' into my song
All night operator
All of a sudden - gone
(Ferry)
Oh baby do it again and again
I can hear nothing
Windswept is the sand
Oh baby show me more
I can see nothing
Windswept is the shore
Heatwave to nightshade
Oh I'm feeling swept away
Oh baby don't leave me there
With a low whisper
Windswept on the air
You say it's nothing
But a game to play
Oh I'm feeling swept away
Slow baby you can take your time
I can hear nothing
Windswept is on the tide
A feeling only or state of mind
You can take me high mama
Mama take me high
(Ferry)
Tell me something I must know
The burning question why
Half a man is twice as much
When he's on the line
Happiness - hard to get
Valentine in hand
None of them will ever guess
But you understand
How many men in a world of their own
There is no end to great unknown
Tell me something I must know
I'm outside looking in
Train of mirrors none so fair
Let the show begin
How many men in a world of their own
There is no end to great unknown
(Ferry)
Gold and silver walk the main street
Sons and lovers learn to suffer
Born in shadow where we first meet
Dreams that money cannot offer
Swollen river I've been thinking
Words of passion and sorrow
Make believing is the real thing
Here today or gone tomorrow
April fever is no stranger
Night and morning in my shadow
World of pleasure and danger
Take my spirit - I must follow
(Ferry)
What do you find on the street tonight? - nothing
It's a river of no return
Diamonds they're your only friend tonight
Break the mirror and bang the drum
Let's be cool about it
Oh we're cool about it now
Stone woman - the pain is gone
And the pleasure is yet to come
What do you see on the street tonight - nothing
But another heartbreak hotel
Stranger - you're the only friend tonight
Pick a number and ring the bell
Let's be cool about it
Oh we're cool about it now
Stone woman - the pain is gone
And the pleasure has just begun
(Ferry)
Never seem to touch
I didn't feel enough
Motivation
Then I heard you call
Then I need it all
Never been in love
Never needed much
Complication
Then I hear you call
And I need it all
Where beat goes on
There you've been and gone
When I hear your name
Will I feel the same
Sensation
(Ferry)
I'm a stranger in your town
That's the place I belong
Laid behind the frame
And the curtain's torn again
A wailing saxophone
And you know it's all in my song
All the sin that I can take
But you don't even know my name
You've got so sense of fun
But you know I've one
All the good has turned to bad
All you know what I think of that
No time to dream
No time to sigh
No time to kill
When love walks by
And who's that crying in the street
Death is the friend I've yet to meet
(Ferry)
When love's gone
There's no one
A waste land
A ghetto
When love's gone
A tear on
A waste land
Your pillow
(Ferry/Leonard)
Out of control
And as far I can see
No religion can save me now
Through I'm trying to believe
How could I know
Her madness'd cling
From the time of her first caress
To the final fling
When you know the name of the game
You can never play enough
Every drop of blood is the same
You can never shed enough
Out in the cold
In the wilderness again
Where I fight for my soul
I can see no end
When you know the name of the game
You never play enough
In the name of heaven you pray
You can never pray enough
Out of control
Wild flower don't you fade
Thundercloud on the hill
Let me lie in your shade
How could I know
Her madness'd cling
From the time of her first caress
To the final fling
When you know the name of the game
You can never play enough
And the way you love is the same
You can never give enough
When you know the name of the game
You can never play enough
In the name of heaven you pray
You can never pray enough
(Ferry/Kamen/Pratt)
You've seen it all before you
You know the truth can be unkind
You fear the worst is hiding
It's when you lose your mind
All I hear is chimes at midnight
Only seven deadly sins
You hear the words denying
You can't believe but you try
When you long for what you don't have
It's why you live and die
You say your love is endless
But jealousy is blind
As we speak I rage and tremble
I must be sure you're mine
(Ferry)
New town
There's a place
A mad affair
In a new world
Heaven send
A life that's made for us
Out of luck
Out of touch
Out of love
No concrete jungle
Dancing feet
Cul-de-sac of desire
Is in itself
Destroying me
I've got to live down
Don't want to dwell in history
That's why I'm leaving now
New town
There's a place
To do or die
In a new world
Heaven sent
A life that's made for us
Out of luck
out of touch
Out of love
No laughing boys
Forbidden dreams
No willow weep
For me now
The shadow hanging over me
I've got to tear it down
New town - calling me
(Ferry / Leonard)
Voodoo warning
Is calling
Down in limbo
Moonlight lush life
Bears strange fruit
Down in limbo
Come with me now
A moth to a flame
You never get near enough
You try again
Closer now
Oh how we dance
The spirit holding us
In a trance
Bamboo dancer
No stranger
Down in limbo
Can you tango?
Takes two to
Down in limbo
You are the one
Now is the time
Let your memory beat the drum
On the street car line
Voodoo warning
Is calling
Down in limbo
Moonlight lush life
Bears strange fruit
Down in limbo
Creole tattoo
I buy you
Down in limbo
Heartbeat you mistreat
I owe you
Down in limbo
(Ferry)
Ten cents a dance
It's the only price to pay
Why give 'em more
When it's only love for sale?
Adam and Eve
It's the oldest game in town
Just a one way street
To a faded magazine
Kiss and tell
Money talks - it never lies
Kiss and tell
Give and take - eye for an eye
Fever - the heat of the night
Dreamer - stealer of sighs
One public face
In a private limousine
Flash photograph
It's the only light you see
No secret life
There's no secret you can steel
Your lips are moving
But I will never know
What they mean
Kiss and tell
Money talks - and love...it burns
Kiss and tell
Give and take - we live and learn
Kiss and tell
We never lie
Eye foe an eye
Blood on a nail
Kiss me again
(Cole Porter)
You do something to me
Something that simply mystifies me
Tell me, why should it be,
You have the power to hypnotise me
Let me live 'neath your spell
Do do that voodoo that you do so well
For you do something to me
That nobody else could do
(Rogers and Hart)
It seems we stood and talked like this, before
We looked at each other in the same way then
But I can't remember where or when
The clothes you're wearing are the clothes you wore
The smile you are smiling you were smiling then
But I can't remember where or when
Some things that happened for the first time
Seem to be happening again
And so it seems that we have met before
And that we laughed before, also loved before
But who knows where or when
(Woods and Dunn)
When somebody thinks you're wonderful
What a difference in your day
Seems as though your troubles disappear
Like a feather in your way
When somebody thinks you're wonderful
Tells you with a smile so sweet
What are little stones you step upon
Just a meadow 'neath your feet
And how you meet the morning
And gaily swing along
At night you may be weary
But your heart still sings a song
When somebody thinks you're wonderful
Love is mighty close to you
Just another thing more wonderful
Making all her dreams come true
(Adamson, Gordon , Youmans and Connelly)
Time on my hands, you in my arms
Nothing but love in view
Then if you fall, once and for all
I'll see my dreams come true
Moments to spare
With someone you care to
One love affair for two
And so with time on my hands
And you in my arms
And love in my heart all for you
(Fields and Kern)
Some day, when I'm awfully low,
When the world is cold,
I will feel a glow just thinking of you...
And the way you look tonight.
Oh but you're lovely, with your smile so warm
And your cheek so soft,
There is nothing for me but to love you,
And the way you look tonight.
With each word your tenderness grows,
Tearing my fear apart...
And that laugh that wrinkles your nose,
Touches my foolish heart.
Lovely ... Never, ever change.
Keep that breathless charm.
Won't you please arrange it ?
'Cause I love you
Just the way you look tonight.
(Cole Porter)
Miss Otis regrets, she's unable to lunch today, madam,
Miss Otis regrets, she's unable to lunch today.
She is sorry to be delayed,
but last evening down in Lover's Lane she strayed, madam,
Miss Otis regrets, she's unable to lunch today.
When she woke up and found that her dream of love was gone, madam,
She ran to the man who had led her so far astray,
And from under her velvet gown,
She drew a gun and shot her love down, madam,
Miss Otis regrets, she's unable to lunch today.
When the mob came and got her and dragged her from the jail, madam,
They strung her upon the old willow across the way,
And the moment before she died,
She lifted up her lovely head and cried, madam......
Miss Otis regrets, she's unable to lunch today
(Romberg and Hammerstein)
The sky was blue
And high above
The moon was new
And so was love
This eager heart of mine was singing
Lover where can you be
You came at last
Love had its day
That day is past
You've gone away
This aching heart of mine is singing
Lover come back to me
When I remember every little thing
You used to do
I'm so lonely
Every road I walk along
I walk along with you
No wonder I am lonely
The sky was blue
The night was cold
The moon was new
But love was old
And while I'm waiting here
This heart of mine is singing
Lover come back to me
(Kahn and Donaldson)
This suspense is killing me
I can't stand uncertainly
Tell me now I've got to know
Whether you want me to stay or to go
Love me or leave me
Or let me be lonely
You won't believe me, I love you only
I'd rather be lonely
Then happy with someone else
You might find the night time
The right time for kissin'
But night time is my time
For just reminiscin'
Regrettin' instead of
Forgettin' with somebody else
There'll be no one
Unless that someone is you
I intend to be independently blue
I want your love
But I don't want to borrow
To have it today to give back tomorrow
For my love is your love
There's no love for nobody else
(Cole Porter)
It was just one of those things
Just one of those crazy flings
One of those bells that now and then rings
Just one of those things
It was just one of those nights
Just one of those fabulous flights
A trip to the moon on gossamer wings
Just one of those things
If we'd thought a bit, of the end of it
When we started painting the town
We'd have been aware that our love affair
Was too hot, not to cool down
So goodbye, dear, and amen
Here's hoping we meet now and then
It was great fun
But it was just one of those things
(Wilmott, McHugh and Fields)
I'm in the mood for love
Simply because you're near me
Funny, but when you're near me
I'm in the mood for love
Heaven is in your eyes
Bright as the stars we're under
Oh, is it any wonder?
I'm in the mood for love
Why stop to think of whether
This little dream might fade?
Let's put our hearts together
Now we are one, I'm not afraid
If there's a cloud above
If it should rain, we'll let it
But for tonight forget it
I'm in the mood for love
Why stop to think of whether
This little dream might fade?
Let's put our hearts together
Now we are one, I'm not afraid
If there's a cloud above
If it should rain, we'll let it
But, for tonight, forget it
I'm in the mood for love
(Hollander and Connelly)
Falling in love again
Never wanted to
What am I to do?
Can't help it
Love's always been my game
Play it as I may
I was born that way
Can't help it
Girls cluster to me
Like moths around a flame
And if their wings burn
I know I'm not to blame
(Robin and Rainger)
Living for you is easy living
It's easy to live when you're in love
And I'm so in love
There is nothing in life but you
I never regret the years that I'm giving
They're easy to give when you're in love
I'm happy to do whatever I do for you
For you maybe I'm a fool
But it's fun
People say you rule me with one wave of your hand
Darling, it's grand
They just don't understand
Living for you is easy living
It's easy to live when you're in love
And I'm so in love
There's nothing in life but you
(Hupfeld)
You must remember this
A kiss is still a kiss
A sigh is just a sigh
The fundamental things apply
as time goes by
And when two lovers woo
They still say ";I love you";
On that you can rely
No matter what the future brings
as time goes by
Moonlight and love songs never out of date
Hearts full of passion, jealousy, and hate
Woman needs man, and man must have his mate
That no one can deny
It's still the same old story
A fight for love and glory
A case of do or die
The world will always welcome lovers
as time goes by
The other night, dear, as I lay sleeping
I dreamed I held you in my arms
When I awoke, dear, I was mistaken
So I hung my head and cried
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are grey
You'll never know, dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away
I'll always love you and make you happy
If you will only say the same
But if you leave me to love another
You'll regret it all someday
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are grey
You'll never know, dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away
You told me once, dear, you really loved me
And no one else could come between.
But now you've left me and love another,
You have shattered all my dreams.
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are grey
You'll never know, dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away
(Kern, Harbach)
They ask me how I knew
My true love was true
I of course replied
";Something here inside
Cannot be denied";
They said ";Someday you'll find
All who love are blind";
When your heart's on fire
You must realise
Smoke gets in your eyes
So I chaffed them and I gaily laughed
To think they could doubt my love
Yet today my love has flown away
I am without my love
Now laughing friends deride
Tears I cannot hide
So I smile and say
";When a lovely flame dies
(Dylan)
Go away from my window
Leave at your own chosen speed
I'm not the one you want babe
I'm not the one you need
You say you're lookin' for someone
Never weak, but always strong
To protect you and defend you
Whether you are right or wrong
Someone to open each and every door
But it ain't me babe
No, no, no
It ain't me babe
It ain't me that you're looking for
Go lightly from the ledge babe
Go lightly on the ground
I'm not the one you want babe
I will only let you down
You say you're lookin' for someone
Who will promise never to part
Someone to close his eyes for you
Someone to close his heart
Someone who will die for you and more
But it ain't me babe
No, no, no
It ain't me babe
It ain't me that you're looking for
Go melt back in to the night babe
Everything inside is made of stone
There's nothin' in here that's a moving
And anyway I'm not alone
You say you're lookin' for someone
To pick you up each time you fall
To gather flowers constantly
And to come each time you call
A lover for your life and nothing more
But it ain't me babe
No, no, no
It ain't me babe
It ain't me that you're looking for
(Nelson)
Well hello there
My, it's been a long, long time
How I'm doing?
I guess I'm doing fine
It's been so long now
Yet it seems that it was only yesterday
Gee, ain't funny how time slips away
How's your new love?
I hope he's doing fine
Heard you told him
That you'd love him till the end of time
Now, that's the same thing that you told me
Oh it seems like just other day
Gee, ain't funny how time slips away
Gotta go now
Guess I'll see you around
Don't know when though
Never know when I'll be back in town
But remember what I tell you
That in time you're gonna pay
And it's surprising how time slips away
(Turner)
I used to jump when you called
And I would cry when you leave
I had to plan every move
Just to keep you pleased
But I don't care no more
About nothing you do
Now I'm goin' shoppin'
Finger, fingerpoppin' on you
I got bags under my eyes
From losin' sleep
You gave me malnutrition
'Cause I just couldn't eat
But I don't care no more
About nothin' you do, boo hoo
'Cause I'm goin' shoppin'
Finger, fingerpoppin' on you
You never bought me no clothes
I had to steal what I wear
I wore shoes so long
'Til my feet were bare
But I don't care no more
About nothin' you do, oh no
And I'm goin' shoppin'
Finger, fingerpoppin' on you
(Ferry)
I knew there'd be times like this
When I'd sit at home and reminisce
Oh how one's memory slips...
So I close my book
And sighing, take a second look
Sure enough - I'm quite alone
Still, there no sound
So I spin-a-disc around and around
And slide the needle in the groove...
Drive down any highway baby
But don't bid me adieu
Through a sea of twisting byways
I'll be trailing you
Eternity'll solve our problem
Take it as you may
And destiny will stand corrected
Should we connect some day
Another time - to spend
Another place - to go
Another love to share with you
Deep emotion springs from this life
Wells up inside
Quick, pick me up and pour me over
The clouds crying by
Another time - to spend
Another place - to go
Another love this time it's true
Anyway you want me lover
Used to be your tune
I looked you up - you looked me over
My lucky strike won through
I was cut, dried and discarded
Just a rusty blade
But since I found my four leaf clover
I've seen the light again
All the tears
In the world
Seem to fall from you
At their
Rainbow's end
A halcyon day
Or two
How soon
We fool ourselves
How slow
We tread
Astral planes
Collide head on
And on and on we glide
As if forever
(Albert, Adler, Cooke)
Don't know much about history
Don't know much biology
Don't know much about a science book
Don't know much about the French I took
But I do know that I love you
And I know that if you love me too
What a wonderful world this would be
Don't know much about geography
Don't know much trigonometry
Don't know much about algebra
Don't know what a slide rule for
But I know that one and one is two
And if this one could be with you
What a wonderful world this would be
I don't claim to be an ";A";-student
But I'm tryin' to be
Maybe by being an ";A";-student, baby
I can win your love for me
Don't know much about history
Don't know much biology
Don't know much about science books
Don't know much about the French I took
But do know that I love you
And I know that if you love me too
U can dance
U can dance
U can dance
In a discotheque at dawn
Is when it came to me
I\\\'d been ravin\\\' through the night
Lookin\\\' for some company,
It was the Mambo talkin\\\'
It\\\'s got a lot to say,
\\\'Do you come here often?\\\'
\\\'Do you wanna play?\\\'
The hitchhike into Paris
And zigzag by the Seine
The Hollywood moment
I\\\'ll never be the same
U can dance
There\\\'s a world awaiting
Way beyond the sea
How I love to travel
Baby will you come with me?
U can dance
Jump on the table
Slide down the pole
You can wear your sable
You can bare your soul
Through Reno down to Vegas
The casinos never close
To the movers and the shakers
The Tango never knows
U can dance
U can dance
U can dance
U can dance...dance...dance...dance
U can dance...dance...dance...dance
I need some inspiration
I\\\'ve got a lot of time to lose
U can dance...dance...dance...dance
And then the dolce vita
dance...dance...dance...dance
In England there\\\'s a moment
One nation in a groove
U can dance
Where the music and emotion
Will make you wanna move
Why must you shed such tender tears
In the evening of your years
No other love could stem the tide
Of the loneliness I hide
Open your heart and let me live
All the promises I could give
The sun and moon and all the stars
They bow down to you whenever you pass
In a world of fading sadness
An emerald ring, a photograph
That look in your eyes the brush of your cheek
These are the moments in life that I seek
No reason or rhyme, no presence of mind
Just a dance to the music of time
Why must you shed such tender tears
In the evening of your years
No other love could stem the tide
Of the loneliness I hide
Inside out, upside down
Obscured by clouds, or underground
The sun and moon and all the stars
They bow down to you whenever you pass
Wherever you are, whenever you speak
These are the moments in my life that I seek
No reason or rhyme, by chance or design
I was thinking out loud
One life's such a short time for love
When a match made in heaven arrives
Eternity is never enough
It's all been so simple 'til now
There's no brilliance like beauty out there
No knowledge as wise as the heart
We all need reason to care
I need to dance with life
Sweep you away into the night
When there is no one else around
I will make every day count
We need to dance with life
Swim in the soul of your eyes
'til we melt into the night
We need to dance with life
And we leave a brilliant light behind
We could lay on the ground
We could look at that light in the sky
Show the moon and the million stars
The stars that we become when we die
I need to dance with life
Sweep you away into the night
When there is no one else around
I will make every day count
We need to dance with life
Swim in the soul of your eyes
'til we melt into the night
We need to dance with life
And we leave a brilliant light behind
It´s no secret how I feel
This flesh and bone I love you is sealed
To cover me up and hide the deal
And the deal with me
To dance with life
Breathe the sweet fresh air
And make every second your last
And I'll touch you from the world I wake in
Make the most of the present and the past
I need to dance with life
Sweep you away into the night
When there is no one else around
I will make every day count
We need to dance with life
Swim in the soul of your eyes
'til we melt into the night
We need to dance with life
Now the party's over
I'm so tired
Then I see you coming
Out of nowhere
Much communication in a motion
Without conversation or a notion
Avalon
When the samba takes you
Out of nowhere
And the background's fading
Out of focus
Yes the picture's changing
Every moment
And your destination
You don't know it
Avalon
When you bossanova
There's no holding
Would you have me dancing
Out of nowhere
