    That Look In Your Eyes
    Performer(s): Ali Campbell



    Show me a girl peace and harmony in her heart
    When things go wrong there will be no falling apart
    One who understands, that things aren't always gonna go right and
    I'll show you a man who can show you the light

    Show me a boy when the burden's on his shoulder
    As time goes on seems to only make him bolder
    Then I met you
    Something that I can't explain
    This feeling that I get is like I'm going insane

    It's that look in your eyes, that say you love me
    And all the silly things that you do
    Those feelings that I get from the stars above me
    Tells me you're for me And I'm the one for you

    Hey, I thank you baby
    I thank you baby I thank you

    Show me a girl that can make me feel better
    With a kiss sealed inside a perfumed letter
    One who understands, when the tour is six months long
    And waiting with open arms, 'cos it's been too long

    Show me a boy whose loving that I'm missing
    Who can be there when I need someone to listen
    One who keeps in mind that I should never be alone
    Because I'll be there even if it's by telephone

    It's that look in your eyes, that say you love me
    And all the silly things that you do
    Those feelings that I get when ever you're near me
    Tells me you're for me And I'm the one for you

    Yeah, I thank you baby I thank you baby
    Yeah, I thank you baby

    My Wild Irish Rose
    Composer(s): Chauncey Olcott
    Performer(s): John McCormack



    If you'll listen, I'll sing you a sweet little song
    Of a flower that's now drooped and dead
    Yet dearer to me, yes, than all of its mates
    Tho' each holds aloft its proud head
    'Twas given to me by a girl that I know
    Since we've met, faith, I've known no repose
    She is dearer by far than the world's brightest star
    And I call her my wild Irish Rose
    My wild Irish Rose
    The sweetest flow'r that grows
    You may search ev'rywhere
    But none can compare
    With my wild Irish Rose
    My wild Irish Rose
    The dearest flow'r that grows
    And some day for my sake
    She may let me take
    The bloom from my wild Irish Rose

    They may sing of their roses which, by other names
    Would smell just as sweetly, they say
    But I know that my Rose would never consent
    To have that sweet name taken away
    Her glances are shy when e'er I pass by
    The bower, where my true love grows
    And my one wish has been that some day I may win
    The heart of my wild Irish Rose
    My wild Irish Rose
    The sweetest flow'r that grows
    You may search ev'rywhere
    But none can compare
    With my wild Irish Rose
    My wild Irish Rose
    The dearest flow'r that grows
    And some day for my sake
    She may let me take
    The bloom from my wild Irish Rose

    Guantanamera
    Composer(s): Hector Angulo;
    José Marti; J.M. Rivat; Pete Seeger
    Performer(s): Joe Dassin; Nana Mouskouri



    Guantanamera, ma ville Guantanamera
    Guantanamera, ma ville Guantanamera

    C'était un homme en déroute
    C'était un frère, sans doute
    Il n'avait ni lien ni place
    Et sur les routes de l'exil
    Sur les sentiers, sur les places
    Il me parlait de sa ville

    Guantanamera, ma ville Guantanamera
    Guantanamera, ma ville Guantanamera

    Là-bas, sa maison de misère
    Etait plus blanche que le coton
    Les rues de sable et de terre
    Sentaient le rhum et le melon
    Sous leurs jupons de dentelle
    Dieu que les femmes étaient belles

    Guantanamera, ma ville Guantanamera
    Guantanamera, ma ville Guantanamera

    Il me reste toute la terre
    Mais je n'en demandais pas tant
    Quand j'ai passé la frontière
    Il n' y avait plus rien devant
    J'allais d'escale en escale
    Loin de ma terre natale

    Guantanamera, ma ville Guantanamera
    Guantanamera, ma ville Guantanamera

    Guantanamera, Guantanamera

    That Lonesome Road
    Composer(s): James Taylor - Don Grolnick
    Performer(s): James Taylor
    and multiple other artists



    Walk down that lonesome road all by yourself
    Don't turn your head back over your shoulder
    And only stop to rest yourself when the silver moon
    Is shining high above the trees

    If I had stopped to listen once or twice
    If I had closed my mouth and opened my eyes
    If I had cooled my head and warmed my heart
    I'd not be on this road tonight

    Carry on

    Never mind feeling sorry for yourself
    It doesn't save you from your troubled mind

    Walk down that lonesome road all by yourself
    Don't turn your head back over your shoulder
    And only stop to rest yourself when the silver moon
    Is shining high above the trees

    My Wife Is On A Diet
    Composer(s): Charles Tobias; George J. Bennett
    Performer(s): Leslie Sarony;
    Eddie Cantor; Hoosier Hot Shots



    What’s the greatest problem now throughout the land
    What’s the only problem needs a helping hand
    It isn’t Philip Snowden, or tax relief I find
    It’s something more important now on everybody’s mind
    Just walk into any home today
    It’s ten to one you’ll hear each husband say

    My wife is on a diet, and since she’s on a diet
    Home isn’t home any more
    No gravy and potatoes, just lettuce and tomatoes
    Where are the pies I adore
    Oh, oh, oh, oh, what a disgrace
    I’m ashamed to look a grapefruit straight in the face
    My wife is on a diet, and since she’s on a diet
    I’m losing a pound every day

    Monday, grapefruit, breakfast and for dinner
    And at night some orange juice
    Tuesday, grapefruit, boys I growing thinner
    All my clothes are getting loose
    Wednesday, Thursday, I feel satisfied
    Then I change to coffee, with grapefruit on the side
    Friday till Sunday is more than I can stand
    Before the eighteenth day I’ll have a lily in my hand

    My wife is on a diet, and since she’s on a diet
    Home isn’t home any more
    No gravy and potatoes, just lettuce and tomatoes
    Where are the pies I adore
    Crabs and shrimps I must leave alone
    I’m the only lobster she’ll allow in my home
    My wife is on a diet, and since she’s on a diet
    She’s gaining a pound every day

    Oh, oh, oh, she’s driving me wild
    One look at her onions and I cry like a child

    and various other artists



    Yo soy un hombre sincero
    De donde crecen las palmas
    Yo soy un hombre sincero
    De donde crecen las palmas
    Y antes de morirme quiero
    Echar mis versos del alma

    Chorus:
    Guantanamera
    Guajira Guantanamera
    Guantanamera
    Guajira Guantanamera

    Mi verso es de un verde claro
    Y de un carmin encendido
    Mi verso es de un verde claro
    Y de un carmin encendido
    Mi verso es un ciervo herido
    Que busca en el monte amparo

    Chorus

    I am a truthful man from this land of palm trees
    Before dying I want to share these poems of my soul
    My verses are light green
    But they are also flaming red

    I cultivate a rose in June and in January
    For the sincere friend who gives me his hand
    And for the cruel one who would tear out this
    heart with which I live
    I do not cultivate thistles nor nettles
    I cultivate a white rose

    Cultivo la rosa blanca
    En junio como en enero
    Qultivo la rosa blanca
    En junio como en enero
    Para el amigo sincero
    Que me da su mano franca

    Chorus

    Y para el cruel que me arranca
    El corazon con que vivo
    Y para el cruel que me arranca
    El corazon con que vivo
    Cardo ni ortiga cultivo
    Cultivo la rosa blanca

    Chorus

    Con los pobres de la tierra
    Quiero yo mi suerte echar
    Con los pobres de la tierra
    Quiero yo mi suerte echar
    El arroyo de la sierra
    Me complace mas que el mar

    That Little Difference
    Composer(s): Monroe Fields - Shirley Tackitt - Carmol Taylor
    Performer(s): Carmol Taylor



    Well it's just a little difference in a woman and a man
    And the things that they can do
    They can fly a plane, or run a train
    And that much we know is true

    They can drive a truck, enforce the law
    And they're good at all these things
    But there's still a little difference in a woman and a man
    And that will never change

    Well a long time ago, my Daddy said, "Son
    Let me tell you about the birds and bees"
    He said "There's a difference in a woman and a man"
    As he sat there a-talkin' to me

    "It makes some good and it makes some bad
    And it makes some cheat and lie"
    It was then I told him everything I knew
    And it really took him by surprise

    Well, that little difference I'm a-talkin' about
    S'what makes the world go round
    That little difference I'm a-talkin' about
    Makes a bulldog choke a hound

    It makes the roosters crow and the cats all fight
    And the bulls jump through the fence
    Well, it's just a little difference in a woman and a man
    I'm glad for that little difference

    That little difference will make a little man
    Fight like an old grizzly bear
    And according to the story that same little difference
    Is what cut off Samson's hair

    Well it all started with Adam and Eve
    And it's been great since that time
    If you want somethin' better than that little difference
    It's gonna be hard to find

    Yeah, that little difference I'm a-talkin' about
    S'what makes the world go round
    That little difference I'm a-talkin' about
    Makes a bulldog choke a hound

    It makes the roosters crow and the cats all fight
    And the bulls jump through the fence
    Well there's just a little difference in a woman and a man
    Thank God for that little difference

    Well that little difference I'm a-talkin' about
    S'what makes the world go round
    That little difference I'm a-talkin' about
    Makes a bulldog choke a hound

    It makes the roosters crow and the cats all fight
    And the bulls jump through the fence
    Well there's just a little difference...

    My life's in jeopardy
    Murdered in cold blood is what I'm gonna be
    I ain't been home since Friday night
    And now my wife is coming after me
    Give me police protection

    Gonna buy a gun so
    I can look after number one
    Give me a bodyguard
    A back belt Judo expert with a machine gun

    Gonna buy a tank and an aeroplane
    When she catches up with me
    Won't be no time to explain
    She thinks I've been with another woman
    And that's enough to send her half insane

    Gonna buy a fast car
    Put on my lead boots
    And take a long, long drive
    I may end up spending all my money
    But I'll still be alive

    All I did was have a bit too much to drink
    And I picked the wrong precinct
    Got picked up by the law
    And now I ain't got time to think

    Gonna buy a tank and an aeroplane
    When she catches up with me
    Won't be no time to explain
    She thinks I've been with another woman
    And that's enough to send her half insane

    Gonna buy a fast car
    Put on my lead boots
    And take a long, long drive
    I may end up spending all my money
    But I'll still be alive

    And I'm oh so tired of running
    Gonna lay down on the floor
    I gotta rest some time so
    I can get to run some more

    She's comin'!
    She's comin'!

    Originally performed by: David Ruffin
    Covered by various other artists



    Hmmm

    Last week my life had meaning
    It was beautiful and so sweet
    But now it's nothing, nothing without you, baby
    My whole world is incomplete

    'Cause honey, I can't see you no more
    That was all that was said, baby
    But just might a well have
    Placed a gun to my head, baby, baby
    Oh, why did you do it

    My whole world ended the moment you left me (Yeah, ye-yeah)
    Oh, yes it did honey
    My whole world ended the moment you left me
    It tumbled down to the ground, (yeah) baby
    Ooo

    Did you ever mean those sweet things
    Oh, that you used to say, did you mean 'em, baby
    Of a house with a lovely, o-lovely garden
    And a little baby someday

    Oh tell me, baby
    Where did I go wrong, honey
    Whatever changed your mind, baby
    I've asked myself these questions
    Over a million times, baby, baby, oh baby

    My whole world ended the moment you left me
    Oh yes it did baby, baby
    My whole world ended the moment you left me
    It tumbled down to the ground
    Baby, baby, baby
    Ooo

    Oh baby, now my body is num I feel, feel so senseless to the touch
    My life is so wasted, so wasted, without you
    I guess I loved you much too much
    Oh baby, how can I face tomorrow... when yesterday is all I see
    I just don't wanna face tomorrow, honey
    You're not sharing it with me
    Baby, baby, oh, tell me why

    My whole world ended the moment you left me
    Oh yes it did baby, baby
    My whole world ended the moment you left me
    It tumbled down to the ground, baby

    That Just About Does It
    Composer(s): Max Barnes - Vern Gosdin
    Performer(s): Vern Gosdin



    Every night you go to bed crying
    There's nothing left to do when love is dying
    So before the whole world knows how we're hurting
    Don't you think it's time we pulled the curtains

    So many times I talked you out of leaving
    And so many times you've tried to fight the feeling
    I guess we've tried and failed once too often
    Now the suitcase down the hallway does the talking

    That just about does it, don't it
    That'll just about kill it, won't it
    Maybe we should call a truce
    We could but what's the use?
    That just about does it, don't it

    It's sad to think that words could come between us
    And what I said, God knows, I didn't mean it
    It's time we realized this time it's over
    It's tearing us apart to stay together

    And that just about does it, don't it,
    That'll just about kill it, won't it
    Maybe we should call a truce
    We could but what's the use?
    That just about does it, don't it

    Maybe we should call a truce
    We could but what's the use?
    That just about does it, don't it

    and various other artists



    Marian:
    Being in love used to be my fav'rite dream
    Oh, yes
    I've been in love more than anybody else has
    I guess
    My first love heroic'ly ran the streetcar
    I tingled at ev'ry clang clang
    Next I fell for the principal
    But, oh that teacher who sang "In the Gloamin'"
    Knee-deep in love--what a lovely dream!
    And yet, somehow
    Me deep in love's only half of what I'm longing for now
    I still love my being in love with someone
    But tell me, why couldn't there be
    Somebody being in love with me?
    All I want is a plain man
    All I want is a modest man
    A quiet man, a gentle man
    A straightforward and honest man
    To sit with me in a cottage somewhere in the state of Iowa...
    And I would like him to be more interested in me
    Than he's in himself and more interested in us than in me...
    And if occasionally he'd ponder
    What makes Shakespeare and Beethoven great.
    Him I could love 'til I die
    Him I could love 'til I die!
    Being in love--what a lovely dream!
    And yet, somehow
    Being in love's only half of what I'm longing for now
    And so then
    Tonight I'll be in there dreaming
    And hoping that someday there'll be
    Just once!
    Somebody being in love with me...

    Grown Up Wrong
    Composer(s): Mick Jagger; Keith Richards
    Performer(s): The Rolling Stones;
    The Nightcrawlers; Patron Saints; The Real Kids



    Well you've grown up all wrong
    Well you've grown up all wrong
    You come on too strong
    Well you've grown up all wrong
    Well you were easy to fool, when you were in school, but
    You've grown up all wrong

    Well you've grown up on me
    Well you've grown up on me
    Don't believe what I see
    Well you've grown up on me
    Well you look so sweet when you're in your jeans, but
    You've grown up on me

    Well you've grown up too fast
    Well you've grown up too fast
    Don't forget about the past
    Girl, you've grown up too fast
    Well you won't be a fool, but I'm through with you
    Well you've grown up too fast
    Well you've grown up too fast

    That Is The End Of The News
    Composer(s): Noel Coward
    Performer(s): Joyce Grenfell



    We are told very loudly and often
    To lift up our hearts
    We are told that good humour will soften
    Fate's cruelest darts
    So however bad our domestic troubles may be
    We just shake with amusement and sing with glee

    Heigho, Mum's had those pains again
    Granny's in bed with her varicose veins again
    Everyone's gay because dear cousin Florrie
    Was run down on Saturday night by a lorry
    We're so thrilled, Elsie's in trouble
    That hernia she had has turned out to be double
    When Albert fell down all
    The steps of the Town Hall
    He got three bad cuts and a bruise

    We're delighted
    To be able to say
    We're unable to pay
    Off our debts
    We're excited
    Because Percy's got mange
    And we've run up a bill at the vet's

    Three cheers! Ernie's got boils again
    Everything's covered in ointment and oils again
    Now he's had seven
    So God's in His heaven
    And that is the end of the news

    We are told that it's dismal and dreary
    To air our despairs
    We are told to be gallant and cheery
    And banish our cares
    So when fortune gives us a cup of hemlock to quaff
    We just give a slight hiccup and laugh laugh laugh

    Heigho, everything's fearful
    We do wish that Vi was a little more cheerful
    The only result of her last operation
    Has been gales of wind at the least provocation
    Now don't laugh, poor Mrs Mason
    Was washing some smalls in the lavatory basin
    When that old corroded
    Gas-heater exploded
    And blew her smack into the news

    We're in clover
    Uncle George is in clink
    For refusing to work for the war
    Now it's over
    Auntie Maud seems to think
    He'll be far better placed than before

    What fun -- dear little Sidney
    Produced a spectacular stone in his kidney
    He's had eleven
    So God's in His heaven
    And that is the end of the news

    Heigho, what a catastrophe
    Grandfather's brain is beginning to atrophy
    Last Sunday night after eating an apple
    He made a rude noise in the Methodist chapel

    Good egg! Dear little Doris
    Has just been expelled for assaulting Miss Morris
    Both of her sisters
    Are covered in blisters
    From standing about in the queues

    We've been done in
    By that mortgage foreclosure
    And Father went out on a blind
    He got run in
    For indecent exposure
    And ever so heavily fined
    Heigho hi-diddle-diddle

    Aunt Isabel's shingles have met in the middle
    She's buried in Devon
    So God's in His heaven
    And that is the end of the news

    My Wheels Won't Turn
    Composer(s): Randy Bachman
    Performer(s): Bachman-Turner Overdrive



    I met a man who bought up land
    Wherever his feet would tread
    He asked me to El Paso
    Said I could stay on his spread
    He has horses and cows and tractors and plows
    And all kinds of money to burn
    But how can I get to Texas
    When my wheels won't turn

    There was a lady from Spain
    Who had a fine frame
    Then she moved to Hollywood
    She said come and stay for a week and a day
    I said I did not think I could
    She said the sunshine's fine
    I could spend some time
    There are lessons I could learn
    But how can I get to L.A.
    When my wheels won't turn
    How can I get to L.A.
    When my wheels won't turn

    I'm standin' still
    'Cause my wheels won't turn
    I'm not in love
    And my fuel won't burn for you

    At a college of knowledge I tried to learn
    All the tricks to beat the system
    I'd hide nooks and memorize my books
    'Till I knew I'd never never miss them
    Eventually I got my degree
    But the real thing I did learn
    You just can't hit your home run
    If your wheels won't turn

    There was a man in white
    Who did things rght
    Now he watches from above
    He said here's the way that I want you to pray
    And the way to live and love
    So I saw the light and did things right
    But the candle would not burn
    Tell me, how can I get to heaven
    If my wheels won't turn
    How can I get to heaven
    If my wheels won't turn

    Growl
    Composer(s): Frederick Heath; Guy Robinson
    Performer(s): Johnny Kidd & the Pirates;
    and various other artists



    If there's anybody who's feeling bad
    Just come along with me and you'll feel glad
    Just growl
    Just growl
    Well it's as simple as that, just like a cat
    Growl

    If you're not so bad and you're history
    Well come along with me and you'll feel free
    Just growl
    Just growl
    Well it's as simple as that, just like a cat
    Growl

    I tried barking like a doogie dog
    Even screeching like a dying hog
    I can't get going with a hooting owl
    You know I'm only happy when you hear me growl

    Well if there's anyone who's feeling bad
    Just come along with me and you'll feel glad
    Just growl
    Just growl
    Well it's as simple as that, just like a cat
    Growl

    When everyone's swinging and in the mood
    And everybody around me's in the groove
    Just growl
    Just growl
    Well it's as simple as that, just like a cat
    Growl

    If you're not so bad and you're history
    Well come along with me and you'll feel free
    Just growl
    Just growl
    Well it's as simple as that, just like a cat
    Growl

    I tried barking like a doogie dog
    Even screeching like a dying hog
    I can't get going with a hooting owl
    You know I'm only happy when you hear me growl

    If there's anybody who's feeling bad
    Just come along with me and you'll feel glad
    Just growl
    Just growl
    Well it's as simple as that, just like a cat
    Grooooooooooooooowl

    That Is Rock And Roll
    Composer(s): Jerry Leiber - Mike Stoller
    First release by: The Coasters - 1959
    Covered by multiple other artists



    In the beginning, there weren't nothin' but rocks
    Then somebody invented the wheel
    And things just started in to roll!

    Did you ever hear a tenor sax
    Swingin' like a rusty axe?
    Honkin' like a frog
    Down in a hollow log?
    Well, baby, that is rock and roll

    Did you ever hear a guitar twang
    Dingy, dingy, dingy, dang?
    Ever hear those strings
    Doin' crazy things?
    Well, baby, that is rock and roll

    That ain't no freight train that you hear
    Rollin' down the railroad tracks
    That's a country boy piano man
    Playin' in between the cracks

    You say that music's for the birds
    And you can't understand the words?
    Well, honey, if you did
    You'd really blow your lid
    'Cause, baby, that is rock and roll

    That ain't no freight train that you hear
    Rollin' down the railroad tracks
    That's a country boy piano man
    Playin' in between the cracks

    You say that music's for the birds
    And you can't understand the words?
    Well, honey, if you did
    You'd really blow your lid
    'Cause, baby, that is rock and roll (In the mornin')
    Baby, that is rock and roll (In the evenin')
    Baby, that is rock and roll

    My Way Of Giving
    French Title: Je N'Ai Jamais Rien Demandé
    Composer(s): Ronnie Lane; Steve Marriott
    Originally performed by: The Small Faces
    Covered by various other artists



    I've been told it's just a matter of time
    before you meet someone who opens your eyes
    But time's on my side so nevertheless
    I know the pain of too much happiness

    [Chorus:]
    It's all part of my way of giving
    and I'm giving it all to you
    More than love it's a way of living
    and what more would you have me do

    Although I'm not a guy that means to hurt
    and if at times it seems our love won't work
    I tell you honey, you must surely realize
    See all confusion in my cloudy eyes

    [Chorus]

    Although I'm not a guy that means to hurt
    and if at times it seems our love won't work
    I tell you honey you must surely realize
    See all confusion in my cloudy eyes

    [Chorus]
