The Last Worthless Evening Composer(s): Don Henley - John Corey - Stan Lynch Performer(s): Don Henley
I know you broke up with him And your heart's still on the shelf It's been over two years for me And I'm still not quite myself You can't be with someone new And you can't go back to him You're beginning to realize That it's sink or swim
I see you around sometimes And my heart just melts You're lookin' like if you had your wish You'd be somewhere else And it just breaks my heart To see you here this way Someday I'll get the nerve To walk up to you and say
This is the last worthless evening That you'll have to spend Just gimme a chance To show you how to love again This is the last worthless evening That you'll have to spend 'Cause I'll be there When your broken heart is on the mend
Every night it's the same old crowd in smokey rooms You catch a faint glimpse of love sometimes But it never blooms I've been around this block a time or two And I've made some big mistakes But girl I promise you, I promise you
This is the last worthless evening That you'll have to spend Just gimme a chance To show you how to love again This is the last worthless evening that you'll have to spend 'Cause it won't be long 'Till your little heart is on the mend
People inside their houses with the shades pulled down God knows, we could use some romance in this sleepy bedroom town I know you're still afraid to rush into anything But there're just so many summers And just so many springs
And this is the last worthless evening That you'll have to spend, baby Just gimme a chance, gimme a chance To show you love again This is the last worthless evening That you'll have to spend 'cause it won't be long 'Til your little heart is on the mend
That you'll have to spend Just gimme a chance to show you how to love again This is the last worthless evening That you'll have to spend 'cause it won't be long 'Til your little heart is on the mend

So make it Epitaph He wins it by half According to this here in the Telegraph Epitaph! I got the horse right here!
Last Word In Lonesome Is Me Composer(s): Eddy Arnold Performer(s): Eddy Arnold
The last word in lonesome is me The last word in lonesome is me My heart is as lonely as a heart can be lonely The last word in lonesome is me
Too bad what's happened to our good love Too bad what's happened to our good love Sometimes our best isn't quite good enough And the last word in lonesome is me
The last word in lonesome is me The last word in lonesome is me My heart is as lonely as a heart can be lonely The last word in lonesome is me
Life is a desert and love quenches thirst Life is a desert and love quenches thirst We all have to hurt sometime this is my first time The last word in lonesome is me
The last word in lonesome is me The last word in lonesome is me My heart is as lonely as a heart can be lonely The last word in lonesome is me

The Last Wall Of The Castle Composer(s): Jorma Kaukonen Performer(s): Jefferson Airplane
Gone swirling tears came she went today Down Fallen years go by No place in learning how to cry; I went astray Understanding is a virtue, hard to come by You can teach me how to love If you'll only try So please! Don't give up so soon
Sorry that I hurt her I went astray Hurt her mind and broke her heart But there's no stopping once you start; she went away Understanding is a virtue, hard to come by You can teach me how to love If you'll only try So please! Don't give up so soon
I never knew you the way you are The Blinded bird is not sincere His flying's done from only fear, he's lost his star Understanding is a virtue, hard to come by You can teach me how to love If you'll only try So please! Don't give up so soon...
Chant No. 1 Composer(s): Gary Kemp Performer(s): Spandau Ballet
I checked the time, it was almost time a curious smell,an intangible crime I'm washing my clothes,but the stain still grows cover your eyes,the stain still shows
I feel the gaze against my skin I feel the gaze against my skin I know this feeling is a lie I know this feeling is a lie there's a guilt within my mind there's a guilt within my mind I know this feeling is a lie I know this feeling is a lie
I don't need this pressure on
oh I should question not ignore oh I should question not ignore songs are always buried deep songs are always buried deep
there's a lion in my arms there is a motion in my arm oh I should question not ignore I should believe and not ignore
I don't need this pressure on you go down,down pass the talk of town you go down greek street then it's underground well it's Soho life for this mobile knife it's the place to shoot Friday night Beat Route

Was the last time I saw you the last time? Or can I hope to hold you once more? What about me could have made you doubt me Want to live without me, loving me no more? From the first time I saw you, I loved you And to me darling you were romance Was the last time I saw you the last time? Or will you give love one more chance?
From the first time I saw you, I loved you And to me darling you were romance Was the last time I saw you the last time? Or will you give love one more chance?
Chanson Inachevée Composer(s): Michel Rivgauche - Pascal Sevran Performer(s): Dalida
Mesdames, messieurs regardez-moi J'ai dans les yeux un cinéma Mesdames, messieurs n'ayez pas peur Ce n'est rien qu'une histoire de cur Elle n'est pas très originale Je le sais mais ça m'est égal Et puis même si ça finit mal Pour moi l'amour c'est capital Et tout au fond de ma mémoire Comme un vieux film du passé J'ai revu ceux qui m'ont fait croire Que ça pouvait durer l'éternité
Entre l'amour de la chanson Et la chanson de mes amours La vie m'a joué quarante cinq tours Et j'ai au couer quelques sillons Quand j'ai aimé la première fois Pour le grand soir de ma première Y avait que lui y avait que moi Et au parterre y avait la terre
Solitude Dès que mes yeux s'entrouvrent Solitude Comme un tome découvre... "Je ne sais plus où je suis"
The Last Time I Saw Richard Composer(s): Joni Mitchell Performer(s): Joni Mitchell
The last time I saw Richard was Detroit in sixty-eight And he told me all romantics meet the same fate someday Cynical and drunk and boring someone in some dark cafe You laugh, he said you think you're immune Go look at your eyes, they're full of moon You like roses and kisses and pretty men to tell you All those pretty lies, pretty lies When you gonna realise they're only pretty lies Only pretty lies, just pretty lies
He put a quarter in the Wurlitzer, and he pushed Three buttons and the thing began to whirr And a bar maid came by in fishnet stockings and a bow tie And she said, "Drink up now it's gettin' on time to close" "Richard, you haven't really changed", I said It's just that now you're romanticizing some pain that's in your head You got tombs in your eyes, but the songs You punched are dreaming Listen, they sing of love so sweet, love so sweet When you gonna get yourself back on your feet? Oh and love can be so sweet, love so sweet
Richard got married to a figure skater And he bought her a dishwasher and a coffee percolator And he drinks at home now most nights with the TV on And all the house lights left up bright I'm gonna blow this damn candle out I don't want Nobody comin' over to my table I got nothing to talk to anybody about All good dreamers pass this way some day Hidin' behind bottles in dark cafes Dark cafes Only a dark cocoon before I get my gorgeous wings And fly away Only a phase, these dark cafe days
Fuckin' Life Composer(s): Bernard Lavilliers Performer(s): Bernard Lavilliers
Merde quelle sale banlieue ce soir Pas un endroit un hall de gare Tout est lourd et tout est blafard Le christ glacé comme un rasoir Gardien de nuit avec casquette Berger allemand sur la moquette Pas moyen d'expliquer mon spleen A une fille chaude blonde platine Un peu de bouffe un peu de douceur Un baiser tendre comme une fleur J'suis pas un dur baroudeur J'suis un largué un voyageur Tiens v'là la ronde de la police S'ils restent là j'suis complice Un seul endroit pour me planquer L'église qui ressemble à une fusée Un christ coupé au chalumeau Plein de boulons et de copeaux Le froid qui grince le froid qui glisse Dans les lainages de chez Levi's Fait claquer mes dents et mes os Et la faim me tord les boyaux Si un mec promenait son fox J'lui ferai la peau pour un viandox Si j'braque un mec pour la mémo Sûr c'est deux piges dans le frigo On s'fait des rélations d'enfer On s'fait mettre par les grands frères On apprend le jeu et le vice Et on finit dans la milice Tout est lourd et tout est blafard Le christ glacé comme un rasoir Dans la fusée la blonde platine Met de la soie dans ses bottines J'me suis fait mordre par le fox Du mec qui vendait les viandox
Last Time I Saw Her Composer(s): Gordon Lightfoot Performer(s): Gordon Lightfoot; Glen Campbell
The last time I saw her face, her eyes were bathed in starlight and her hair hung long The last time she spoke to me, her lips were like the scented flowers inside a rain-drenched forest But that was so long ago that I can scarcely feel the way I felt before And if time could heal the wounds, I would tear the threads away that I might bleed some more
The last time I walked with her Her laughter was the steeple bells That ring to greet the morning sun A voice that called to everyone To love the ground she walked upon Those were good day
The last time I held her hand, her touch was autumn, spring and summer, and winter too The last time I let go of her, she walked a way into the night I lost her in the misty streets, a thousand months, a thousand miles When other lips will kiss her eyes A million miles beyond the moon, that's where she is
But that was so long ago that I can scarcely feel the way I felt before And if time could heal the wounds, I would tear the threads away that I might bleed some more The last time I saw her face, her eyes were bathed in starlight and she walked alone
The last time she kissed my cheek Her lips were like the wilted leaves Upon the autumn covered hills Resting on the frozen ground The seeds of love lie cold and still Beneath a battered marking stone It lies forgotten
Chanson Triste
Composer(s): Pierre Delanoë - Claude Lemesle
Performer(s): Joe Dassin
Devant sa page blanche un musicien commence Une valse triste, c'est pas toujours gai les artistes Il chante pour lui-même les notes qui lui viennent Comme un vent d'automne, c'est pas toujours gai la Pologne
Sa chanson, son chagrin l'a volée au piano Et elle tourne sur ta stéréo Dans la nuit quand tu as le cur gros Sa chanson, c'est l'adieu qu'il n'a pas su lui dire Une musique pour se souvenir, se souvenir...
Le soleil se rallume, il a usé sa plume Sur sa valse triste, ça dort pas souvent, les artistes Qu'importe qui tu aimes, les adieux sont les mêmes Et le vent d'automne va bien plus loin que la Pologne
Sa chanson, il l'a faite sans savoir comment C'est peut-être son cur qu'on entend Quand un autre la chante en passant Sa chanson, c'est l'adieu qu'il n'a pas su lui dire Une musique pour se souvenir, se souvenir...
