Town Of Plenty
Composer(s): Bernie Taupin - Elton John
Performer(s): Elton John



I'll say it again this is not my city
I don't belong looking for a town of plenty
There weren't these thieves
We had some thing in common
Goals to achieve
We had some thing in common
In a town of plenty

Can't you see it, this is not my writing
I only asked if this was a town of plenty
There were many archives
We had no media
Only art survived there
Yeah we had no media
In a town of plenty

And laid across the airstrip
Were the passports and the luggage
All that once remained
Of a rugged individual
And laid across the airstrip
Were the passports and the luggage
I came looking for a town of plenty

I'll say it again, this is not my city
I only asked if this was a town of plenty
There were many archives
We had no media
Only art survived there
Yeah we had no media
In a town of plenty

I Love You Much Too Much
Composer(s): Alexander Olshanetsky; Don Raye; Chaim Towber
Performer(s): The Andrews Sisters
and multiple other artists



I love you much too much
I’ve known it from the start
But yet my love is such
I can’t control my heart

I love you much too much
I ask myself what for
Then, darling, when we touch
Mmmm, I love you more

Perhaps I hold your heart too tightly
But who am I to say
If I should hold it lightly
It might slip away

I love you much too much
You’ve never really known
I love you oh so much
I’m yours alone.

I love you much too much, I love you much too much
I’ve known it from the start, right from the start
But yet my love is such,
I can’t control my heart

I love you much too much
I love you too much oh my dear
I’ve known it from the start
But, but, but my love is such
I can’t control my heart

Perhaps I hold your heart too tightly
But who am I to say
If I should hold it lightly
It might slip away

I love you much too much
You’ve never really known
Oh no, oh no you’ve never known
I love you oh so much, so much
I’m yours alone, alone

Just Married
Composer(s): Al Allen; Barry de Vorzon
Performer(s): Marty Robbins



Just married this mornin'
How happy they are
"Just Married" written on
The window of their car
It broke my heart
To see them drive away
I lost the one I love today

Dressed all in white satin
White lace in her hair
She looked so lovely
It was more than I could bear
Some people guessed the way that I felt
They saw the tears I could not hide

I should have stayed at home
I knew what was in store
But somethin' made me come
To see her just once more
Just married this mornin'
How happy they are
"Just Married" written on
The window of their car
It broke my heart
To see them drive away
I lost the one I love today

I should have stayed at home
I knew what was in store
But somethin' made me come
To see her just once more
Just married this mornin'
How happy they are
"Just Married" written on
The window of their car
It broke my heart
To see them drive away
I lost the one I love today

Town Called Malice
Composer(s): Paul Weller
First release: The Jam - 1982



You'd better stop dreaming of the quiet life 
'cos it's the one we'll never know
And quit running for that runaway bus 
'cos those rosey days are few
And stop apologising for the things you've never done
'cos time is short and life is cruel, but it's up to us to change 
This town called malice

Rows and rows of disused milk floats stand dying in the dairy yard
And a hundred lonely housewives clutch empty milk bottles to their hearts
Hanging out their old love letters on the line to dry
It's enough to make you stop believing when tears come fast and furious
In a town called malice

Struggle after struggle, year after year
The atmosphere's a fine blend of ice, I'm almost stone cold dead
In a town called malice 

A whole street's belief in Sunday's roast beef gets dashed against the Co-op
To either cut down on beer or the kids new gear
It's a big decision in a town called malice 

The ghost of a steam train, echoes down my track
It's at the moment bound for nowhere, just going round and round
Playground kids and creaking swings, lost laughter in the breeze
I could go on for hours and I probably will, but I'd sooner put some joy back
In this town called malice

I Love You More Today Than Yesterday
Composer(s): Pat Upton
Performer(s): Spiral Staircase



I don't remember what day it was
I didn't notice what time it was
All I know is that I fell in love with you
And if all my dreams come true
I'll be spending time with you

Every day's a new day in love with you
With each day comes a new way of loving you
Every time I kiss your lips my mind starts to wander
And if all my dreams come true
I'll be spending time with you

Oh, I love you more today than yesterday
But not as much as tomorrow
I love you more today than yesterday
But, darling, not as much as tomorrow

Tomorrow's date means springtime's just a day away
Cupid, we don't need ya now, be on your way
I thank the lord for love like ours that grows ever stronger
And I always will be true I know you feel the same way too

Oh, I love you more today than yesterday
But not as much as tomorrow
I love you more today than yesterday
But only half as much as tomorrow

Every day's a new day, every time I love ya
Every way's a new way, every time I love ya
Every day's a new day, oh, how I love ya

Just Loving You
Performer(s): Anita Harris



I could spend my life just loving you
If you could learn to fall in love with me
Though you don't know how much it hurts just loving you
I'm not the laughing chld I used to be

Some starry night
I pray that you will come to me
And make all my wildest dreams come true
So, 'til then I'll go on scheming
Though I know I'm only dreaming
I can't help myself just loving you

Some starry night
I pray that you will come to me
And make all my wildest dreams come true
So, 'til then I'll go on scheming
Though I know I'm only dreaming
I can't help myself just loving you

Towers Of London
Composer(s): Andy Partridge
First release: XTC - 1980



Towers of London
When they had built you
Did you watch over the men who fell?
Towers of London
When they had built you
Victoria's gem found in somebody's hell

Pavements of gold, leading to the underground
Grenadier Guardsmen walking pretty ladies around
Fog is the sweat of the never never navvies wWho pound pound pound
pound pound
Spikes in the rails to their very own heaven

Towers of London
When they had built you
Did you watch over the men who fell
Towers of London
When they had built you
Victoria's gem found in somebody's hell

Bridges of muscles spanning so long and high
Merchants from Stepney walking pretty ladies by
Rain is the tears of the never never navvies who cry
For the bridge that doesn't go in the direction of Dublin

Towers of London
When they had built you
Did you watch over the men who fell
Towers of London
When they had built you
Victoria's gem found in somebody's hell

And I've seen it in a painting
And I've seen it in engraving
And I've seen it in their faces
Clear as children's chalk lines on the paving

Towers of London
When they had built you
Did you watch over the men who fell
Towers of London
When they had built you
Victoria's gem found in somebody's hell

Towers of London
Towers of London
Towers of London
Towers of London

I Love You More Than You'll Ever Know
Composer(s): Al Kooper
First release by: Blood, Sweat & Tears - 1968
Covered by multiple other artists



If I ever leave you
You can say I told you so
If I ever hurt you baby
You know I hurt myself as well

Is that any way for a man to carry on
You think he wants
his little loved one gone
I love you baby
more than you'll ever know
more than you'll ever know

When I wasn't making too much money
You knew where my paycheck went
You know I brought it home to baby
And I never spent one red cent

Is that any way for a man to carry on
You think he wants
his little loved one gone
I love you baby
more than you'll ever know
more than you'll ever know

I'm not trying to be any kinds of a man
I'm trying to be somebody
you can love trust and understand
I know that I could be yeah a part of you
that no one else could see
I just got to hear you say
It's alright yeah yeah yeah

I'm only flesh and blood
But I could be everything
that you demand
I could be president
of General Motors baby huh
or just a tiny little grain of sand

Is that any way for a man to carry on
You think he wants
his little loved one gone
I love you baby, I love you baby
I love you more than you will ever know

Just Like That
Dutch Title: 't Is Te Gek
Performer(s): ABBA



Until that day
My life had been a river
Following a safe predestinated course
Suddenly detouring so unexpectedly
With uncompromising force
My strongholds broke down
all too easily
I remember well
how it did embarrass me
I hung on to his every smile
Marveled at his style

(chorus)

Just like that
He walked into my house
as smug as a cat
He was handsome and smart
Walked away with my heart
Just like that
He found a temporary home in my flat
Telling innocent lies
Throwing dust in my eyes
But I led him on
Knowing that someday
He would be gone
Just like that
As though he'd only
stopped a while for a chat
But my secrets he learned
Leaving no stone unturned

And once again
The river's flowing slowly
following its safe and uneventful course
Now the tears have dried
It's become a pleasant break
I recall without remorse
But now and then I wonder where he is
And I will admit
He had something that I miss
I guess he was a rolling stone
The only one I've known

Tower Song
Composer(s): Townes Van Zandt
First release: Townes Van Zandt - 1970



So close and yet so far away
And all the things I'd hoped to say
Will have to go unsaid today
Perhaps until tomorrow
Your fears have built a wall between
Our lives and all what loving means
Will have to go unfelt it seems
And that leaves only sorrow
You built your tower strong and tall
Can't you see, it's got to fall someday

You close your eyes and speak to me
Of faith and love and destiny
As distant as eternity
From truth and understanding
The wind blows cold outside your door
It whispers words I've tried before
But you don't hear me anymore
Your pride's just too demanding
You built your tower strong and tall
Can't you see, it's got to fall someday

The end is coming soon it's plain
A warm bed just ain't worth the pain
And I will go and you'll remain
With the bitterness we've tasted
A mother's breast, a newborn child
A poet's tear and drunken smile
I can't help feelin' all the while
Their meaning won't be wasted
You built your tower strong and tall
Can't you see, it's got to fall someday

I Love You More And More Every Day
Composer(s): Don Robertson
Performer(s): Al Martino
and multiple other artists



I love you more and more every day

They said our love was just emotion
That time would slowly fade away
But time's just deepened my devotion
I love you more and more every day

The day you made those tender vows beside me
My joy was more than words could ever say

And, darling, still it grows and grows inside me
I love you more and more every day

The day you made those tender vows beside me
My joy was more than words could ever say

And, darling, still it grows and grows inside me
I love you more and more every day

I love you more and more every day

(Just Like) Starting Over
Composer(s): John Lennon
Performer(s): John Lennon;
and various other artists



Our life together is so precious together
We have grown, we have grown
Although our love is still special
Let's take a chance and fly away somewhere alone 
It's been too long since we took the time
No-one's to blame, I know time flies so quickly
But when I see you darling
It's like we both are falling in love again
It'll be just like starting over, starting over 
Everyday we used to make it love
Why can't we be making love nice and easy
It's time to spread our wings and fly
Don't let another day go by my love
It'll be just like starting over, starting over 
Why don't we take off alone
Take a trip somewhere far, far away
We'll be together all alone again
Like we used to in the early days
Well, well, well darling 
It's been too long since we took the time
No-one's to blame, I know time flies so quickly
But when I see you darling
It's like we both are falling in love again
It'll be just like starting over, starting over 
Our life together is so precious together
We have grown, we have grown
Although our love is still special
Let's take a chance and fly away somewhere 
Starting over

((Adapted from: Tower Of Strength (Gene McDaniels With The Johnny Mann Singers) - 1961))
Composer(s): Bob Hilliard - Burt Bacharach - Mogol
Performer(s): Adriano Celentano - 1962



Io che ho pianto per te
pregandoti
di stare con me
mi pento, perché
non ti voglio
non ti amo
non ti credo e perciò
stai lontana da me
non cercarmi perché
ho capito chi sei
e le strade sono piene di donne
uguali a te...
Ed io che vivevo per te
scordandomi
chi pianse per me
mi pento, perché
non ti voglio
non ti amo
non ti credo e perciò
s'è ormai chiusa per me
questa storia perché
io ritorno da chi
già sapeva che sarebbe finita
solo così...

If I were a tower of strength, I'd walk away
I'd look in your eyes and here's what I'd say
"I don't want you, I don't need you, I don't love you any more"
And I'd walk out that door

You'd be down on your knees
You'd be calling to me-ee
But a tower of a-strength is a-something
I'll never be

If I were a tower of strength, I'd watch you cry
I'd laugh at your tears and tell you goodbye
"I don't want you, I don't need you, I don't love you any more"
And I'd walk out that door

You'd be down on your knees
You'd be calling to me-ee
But a tower of a-strength is a-something
I'll never be

"I don't want you, I don't a-need you, I don't love you any more"
And I'd walk out that door

You'd be down on your knees, ahh-huh
You'd be calling to me-ee-ee
But a tower of a-strength is a-something
I'll never be

Composer(s): Rick Nielsen
Performer(s): Cheap Trick



I love you honey but I hate your friends 
I love you honey but they'll be the end of me 
Oh yeah 
I love you honey but I hate those friends 

That fat cat Frank got a heart of gold 
He's got a head of lead, he's young but he acts old 
That limp wrested two-fisted diplomat 
Better draw a map, to see where he's at 
Around and round when he rambles on 
About the latest deal we should be in on 
We shouldn't give him the time of day 
He doesn't give a damn if we sink or swim 

I love you honey but I hate your friends 
I love you honey but they'll be the end of me 
Oh yeah 
I love you honey but I hate your friends 

Did some toot, yeah we had a blow 
Look man, no holes, real nose 
When he says hi he really means the moon 
He was there long before Armstrong 
He stays loose, he says, fill her up 
For eternal youth from those Swiss docs
He's thirty but he feels like sixteen 
Check it out: yep, hundred-n-sixteen! 
I love you honey but I hate your friends 
I love you honey but they'll be the end of me 
Oh yeah 
I love you honey, let's dance 

I love you honey but I hate your friends 
I love you honey but they'll be the end of me 
Oh yeah, yeah 
I love you honey but I hate your friends 

Let's see, there's Miss Tique and Miss Informed 
General Disaster, Mister Know-it-all 
Misses A Lot and Private Stock 
Corporal punishment about to blow his mind 
Mister Mock, Mister Completely
Miss de Plot, Miss Story
Mister Call, Mister De Gaulle
The ageing Mister Martin and that ain't all 

I love you honey but I hate your friends 
I love you honey but they'll be the end of me 
Oh yeah 
I love you honey but I hate those friends 

I love you honey but I hate your friends

Just Like Paradise

Derrick LeFevre; Nick Skitz; Les Vacances



Rockin' steady in her daddy's car
She got the stereo with the big guitars
And that's all right (all right)

I got the itch and a restless soul
She gone with the wind
Gonna go for broke tonight
And that's all night

Girl, we've been meant for this
Since we were born
No problems now (the coast is clear)
It's just the calm before the storm

This must be just like livin' in paradise
And I don't want to go home

Suzy, Suzy, girl, for cryin' out loud
You got all the right moves
You make me eat my heart out
Nightly and that's all right with me!

No special favors make it out to cash
We'll spend it later
Got to make this romance last that's it, that's it

Some folks say `easy come is easy go'
(And some folks say)
But one night ain't enough for me
Girl, hang on tight and don't let go

This must be just like livin' in paradise
And I don't want to go home

Toutes Ses Heures Loin De Toi
Composer(s): P. Collins - Didier Barbelivien
Performer(s): Dalida



Nous avons ensemble des moments bleus
Des heures de magie amoureuse
Quand tu glisses ta main dans mes cheveux c'est fou
Et quand tu m'embrasses au coin des yeux c'est doux
Nous avons toujours des rendez-vous
Des instants de soleil entre nous
Et quand tu m'appelles je viens toujours
Sans demander pourquoi
J'ai tellement besoin de te retrouver à moi

Car toutes ces heures loin de toi
Etaient comme cent jours d'exil
Comme une année passée sur l'Himalaya
Comme un été sans cerises
Oui toutes ces heures loin de toi
Etaient comme cent jours d 'exil
J'ai eu peur sans toi de cette solitude
Quand la nuit est sur la ville

Dis-moi des mots d'amour
Dis-moi encore que nous revivrons toujours
Des nuits d'amour dans la poussière d'or
Des cœurs à cœurs corps à corps
J'ai tellement besoin de te retrouver à moi

Car toutes ces heures loin de toi
Etaient comme une prison grise
Car toutes ces heures loin de toi
Etaient comme cent jours d'exil
J'ai eu peur sans toi de cette solitude
Quand la nuit est sur la ville
Oui toutes ces heures loin de toi
Etaient comme une prison grise
Comme une année passée sur l'Himalaya
Comme un été sans cerises
Oui toutes ces heures loin de toi

I Love You Drops

First recording/First release by: Bill Anderson - 1964/1965
Covered by multiple other artists



They're not teardrops just sincere drops they're I love you drops 'cause I love you
They were on my pillow when I woke up this morning
They were on the letter I tried all day to write
And just a little while ago I saw them falling on your picture as I kissed it goodnight
I love you drops I miss you drops hurry home drops you've been gone so long drops
They're not teardrops just sincere drops that say I'm lonesome and I love you

Never knew this heart could hurt the way it hurts for you
Never lived so many lifetimes in a week
Why don't you come back to me the way you said you would
And kiss these softly little crystals off my cheek
I love you drops...
