Trees
Composer(s): Joyce Kilmer - Oscar Rasbach
First recording/First release: Isham Jones' Orch. - 1930
Covered by multiple other artists



I think that I shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree
A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
Against the earth's sweet flowing breast
A tree that looks at God all day
And lifts her leafy arms to pray
A tree that may in Summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair
Upon whose bosom snow has lain
Who intimately lives with rain
Poems are made by fools like me
But only God can make a tree

I Never Loved A Man (The Way I Love You)
Composer(s): Ronnie Shannon
First release by: Aretha Franklin - 1967
Covered by multiple other artists



You're a no good heart breaker
You're a liar and you're a cheat
And I don't know why
I let you do these things to me
My friends keep telling me
That you ain't no good
But oh, they don't know
That I'd leave you if I could

I guess I'm uptight
And I'm stuck like glue
Cause I ain't never
I ain't never, I ain't never, no, no (loved a man)
(The way that I, I love you)

Some time ago I thought
You had run out of fools
But I was so wrong
You got one that you'll never lose
The way you treat me is a shame
How could ya hurt me so bad
Baby, you know that I'm the best thing
That you ever had
Kiss me once again

Don'cha never, never say that we we're through
Cause I ain't never
Never, Never, no, no (loved a man)
(The way that I, I love you)

I can't sleep at night
And I can't even fight
I guess I'll never be free
Since you got, your hooks, in me

Whoa, oh, oh
Yeah! Yeah!
I ain't never loved a man
I ain't never loved a man, baby
Ain't never had a man hurt me so bad

No
Well this is what I'm gonna do about it

And we are but an island
In an ocean
This is our home
Third from the sun
Let it be evergreen
Let it be evergreen
And we are but an island
In an ocean
This is our home
Third from the sun
God, keep it evergreen
To keep it ever green
I would lay my life down
And we are but an island
In an ocean
This is our home
Third from the sun
Let it be evergreen
Let it be evergreen

La gente e sola
nelle stazioni ai giardini in chiesa e nei bar
e nelle scuole
la gente sola
cova i ricordi di lampade spente da un click
nei loro “tic”
Leggi i loro sguardi
che ti trapassano
questi loro sguardi
lanciano S.O.S.
Ma come fa la gente sola
a stare sola come fa…

Vivono in gabbie
di solitudine e poi si trasformar hi…
facce da “rugby”
E fanno rabbia
quando per ore rimettono dentro “I Juke-box”
“Eleonor Rigby”
Dimmi dove vanno
da dove vengono
questa gente sola
dimmi dove va
Ma come fa la gente sola
“Sola”
“Sola”
a stare sola come me…
“Sola”

Io sono solo
da poche ore ed ancora non sono un “Robot"
senza parole
E il marciapiede
si abbassa e se non ritomi fra poco sara
una palude
Leggi i loro sguardi
che ti trapassano
questi loro sguardi
lanciano S.O.S.
Ma come fa la gente sola
a stare sola come me
Dimmi dove vanno
da dove vengono
questa gente sola
sola come me

Ma come fa la gente sola

I Never Knew Your Name
German Title: Wenn Ich Wüßte Wie Du Heißt
Composer(s): Paul Anka
Performer(s): Paul Anka



Although we've never, never danced
I loved you with just one glance

You were dancing, I was glancing
As you passed me on the floor
You saw me glancing but you kept dancing
Out of the room and through the door

I beg your pardon, but in the garden
He placed a flower in your hair
But when he kissed you, oh how I missed you
Wishing that I were there

Then I dreamed upon a star
Wishing I was where you are
How I thought the day would never come
And when I thought that I was first
All at once my bubble burst
And I was standing where I started from

To my regret dear, we've never met dear
But I love you just the same
Although we've never danced
I loved you with just one glance
And I never, no I never knew your name

(la-la-la-la-la la-la-la-la-la la-la-la-la-la-la-la-laaa
la-la-la-la-la la-la-la-la-la la-la-la la-la-laaa)

To my regret dear, we've never met dear
But I love you just the same
Although we've never danced
I loved you with just one glance
And I never, no I never knew your name

la la-la-la la!)

When I walk through that door
Baby be polite
You're gonna make me sore
If you don't greet me right
Don't you ever kiss me once, kiss me twice
Treat me nice

I know that you've been told
It's not fair to tease
So if you come on cold
I'm really gonna freeze
If you don't want me to be cold as ice
Treat me nice

Make me feel at home
If you really care
Scratch my back and run your pretty
Fingers through my hair

You know I'll be your slave
If you ask me to
But if you don't behave
I'll walk right out on you
If you want my love then take my advice
Treat me nice

Make me feel at home
If you really care
Scratch my back and run your pretty
Fingers through my hair

You know I'll be your slave
If you ask me to
But if you don't behave
I'll walk right out on you
If you want my love then take my advice
Treat me nice

If you really want my love then treat me nice

I Never Knew Heaven Could Speak
Composer(s): Harry Revel; Mack Gordon
Performer(s): Alice Faye
and multiple other artists



I never knew heaven could speak, but now I do
I've learned it through a conversation with you
I never knew heaven could dance, but now I do
With every step another little dream comes true

I always thought heaven was somewhere
Way up high in the sky up above
I never thought heaven was someone
Like you, for me to love

I never knew heaven could hold such tender charms
I never knew heaven could be here in my arms

Early One Morning
(Traditional)
Performer(s): Nana Mouskouri
and multiple other artists



Early one morning, just as the sun was rising
I heard a maid sing in the valley below
"Oh don't deceive me, Oh never leave me
How could you use, a poor maiden so?"

Remember the vows that you made to me truly
Remember how tenderly you nestled close to me
Gay is the garland, fresh are the roses
I've culled from the garden to bind over thee

Here I now wander alone as I wonder
Why did you leave me to sigh and complain
I ask of the roses, why should I be forsaken
Why must I here in sorrow remain?

Through yonder grove, by the spring that is running
There you and I have so merrily played
Kissing and courting and gently sporting
Oh, my innocent heart you've betrayed

How could you slight so a pretty girl who loves you
A pretty girl who loves you so dearly and warm?
Though love's folly is surely but a fancy
Still it should prove to me sweeter than your scorn

Soon you will meet with another pretty maiden
Some pretty maiden, you'll court her for a while
Thus ever ranging, turning and changing
Always seeking for a girl that is new

Thus sang the maiden, her sorrows bewailing
Thus sang the poor maid in the valley below
"Oh don't deceive me, Oh never leave me
How could you use, a poor maiden so?"

Treat Her Like A Lady

All my friends have to ask me 
Somethin' they didn't understand

I Never Heard You Say 
Composer(s): Kramer; Whitney
Performer(s): Margaret Whiting



I heard a little dog go bow-wow-wow
I heard a little cat go meeow-meeow-meeow
Heard an actor do ‘How now brown cow?’
Yes, I’ve heard lots of things, but

I never heard you say you love me
Never heard you say you love me
There comes a day you say you love me
My happy heart will sing

I heard a lot of trains go choo-choo-choo
I heard a lot of owls say hoo-hoo-hoo
I heard a lot of cows say moo-moo-moo
Yes, I’ve heard lots of things, but

I never heard you say you love me
Never heard you say you love me
There comes a day you say you love me
My happy heart will sing

I heard you say you love my baby stare
I heard you say you like my wavy hair
I said I liked it when you had some there
I’ve heard lots of things

Buffalo girl, won’t you come out tonight
Come out tonight, come out tonight
There comes a day you say you love me
My happy heart will sing
Now, I’ve heard everything

First release by: Gordon Lightfoot - 1966
Covered by multiple other artists



In the early morning rain with a dollar in my hand 
With an aching in my heart and my pockets full of sand 
I'm a long way from home and I miss my loved ones so 
In the early morning rain with no place to go 

Out on runway number nine, big seven-o-seven set to go
But I'm stuck here in the grass with a pain that ever grows
Now the liquor tasted good and the women all were fast
Well now there she goes my friend, she's a-rolling down at last

Hear the mighty engines roar, see the silver wing on high
She's away and westward bound, far above the clouds she'll fly
Where the morning rain don't fall and the sun always shines
She'll be flying over my home in about three hours time

This old airport's got me down, it's no earthly good to me
'Cause I'm stuck here on the ground, as cold and drunk as I can be
You can't jump a jet plane like you can a freight train
So I'd best be on my way in the early morning rain

Treasure Of Your Love
Composer(s): Barry De Vorzon
Performer(s): Eileen Rodgers



If I could have a mountain made of gold and diamonds like the stars above
The treasure I would most be longing for would be the treasure of your love

If I could have a silver ship to sail and all the pearls within the sea

Oh I would gladly give them all away if you would give your love to me

The one thing I want no riches can buy
A love that is true and you by my side

Don't want a silver ship or gold or pearls or diamonds like the stars above
What good would all these treasures be to me without the treasure of your love

The one thing I want no riches can buy 
A love that is true and you by my side 

Don't want a silver ship or gold or pearls, or diamonds like the stars above 
What good would all these treasures be to me without the treasure of your love

I Never Had It So Good (And Felt So Bad)
Composer(s): Eugene Record; Stan McKenney
First release by: The Chi-Lites - 1973
Covered by:
Walter Jackson - 1973
Lionel Hampton - 1974



Ah, yeah, I felt like a king
Standing in front of the judge
Because I knew, that whatever went down
I would be a free man, yeah

Well, I ran into this friend of mine, just the other day
And he told me he had heard about my freedom
And that if he ever saw me
there were a few things that he’d like to say and
So he said

"Who would be with you when the flame dies down?
Who will you depend on when no one else is around?"
I looked at him and said 
"You know, I like being on the loose"
But now, that I think about it, I got to tell the truth

Our day in court’s been one year to the day
Our first anniversary going our separate ways
As I celebrate being free at last
Never had it so good, and felt so bad

Went window shopping just this afternoon
How she used to want me to take her
Saw a silly looking hat she sure would have had
Never had it so good, and felt so bad

She don't wait up at night for me, no more
I make excuses to the hat-rack by the door
My kind of happiness has finally come
Bet you know, it’s kinda sad
Never had it so good, and felt so bad (and felt so bad)

When I took a drink, I never heard her complain
She never dragged me shopping
When I could have watched a ball game
The grass is growing tall
And I, I'm getting kind of fat
Never had it so good, and felt so bad (and felt so bad)
Never had it so good, and felt so bad (and felt so bad)

Oh, My Baby, My Baby …
Oh I got to admit it, that I made a mistake
Tell me how much more
Can a poor heart take?
Never had it so good, and felt so bad

Never had it so good, and felt so bad
Never had it so good, and felt

Early In The Morning
(Traditional)
Performer(s): Chad & Jeremy



Early in the morning
'Bout the break of day
I asked the Lord
Let me find the way

Let me find the way
To the promised land
Won't you lend this body
Your helping hand

I asked the Lord won't you help me please
Find the way

When the new days dawning
I bow my head in prayer
I pray to the Lord
Won't you lead me there

Won't you guide me safely
To the golden stair
Won't you let this body
Your burden share

I asked the Lord won't you help me please
Lead me there

When judgements comes
And finds the world in chains
When the trumpet blows
Call my name

When thunder rolls
And the heavens break
When the sun turns black
I'm gonna shout again

When the trumpet blows won't you call me please
Call my name

When the trumpet blows won't you call me please
Call my name

Won't you please
Call my name

Treachery
Composer(s): Kirsty MacColl
Performer(s): Kirsty MacColl



I'm stalking a fan
He lives in a high rise block
And here I am
He shouldn't have turned my rock
He's brushing his teeth
He doesn't look bad from this far
I'm hailing a cab
And I'm gonna follow his car
Wherever he goes
I won't be too far behind
Just hanging around
Driving him out of his mind 
Treachery made a monster out of me
Treachery made a monster out of me

I'm stalking a fan
He used to write all the time
How lovely I am
He really made me feel fine
But how they forget
He needed a wake-up call
And he will regret
Having been so shallow
He made me believe
That I was some kind of myth
So here I am
How could he treat me like this?

Treachery made a monster out of me
Treachery made a monster out of me
Treachery made a monster out of me
Treachery made a monster out of me

Wherever he goes
I won't be too far behind
Just hanging around
Driving him out of his mind
I'm stalking a fan
He's gone to the record store
To buy a CD
By some other girl not me
He's taking her home
Getting her out of her box
And putting her on
And dancing around in his socks

Treachery made a monster out of me
Treachery made a monster out of me
Treachery made a monster out of me
Treachery made a monster out of me

Getting her out of her box
Treachery 
And dancing around in his socks
Treachery 
Treachery 
And dancing around in his socks
Treachery 
Driving him out of his mind

I Never Had A Chance

and multiple other artists



I never had a chance
I thought you cared for me
But now I see I never had a chance
I never had a chance
Though you never told me so
Somehow I know I never had a chance

I knew we’d have to part 
For I could always reach your lips 
But I could never reach your heart
My dream about romance ended in a friendly chat
But more than that I never had a chance

I guess there’s nothing to do and nothing to say
But simply go on my way and call it a day
I guess I’m ready to go right back on my shelf
Because at last I’ve learned, where you’re concerned
I’ve just been fooling myself

I never had a chance
Though you never told me so
Somehow I know I never had a chance

My dream about romance ended in a friendly chat
But more than that I never had a chance
Never had a chance

Travestie
Performer(s): Boudewijn de Groot



Ze is zeventien jaar en speelt gitaar
Verlegen zingt ze mijn repertoir
Zich niet bewust van het gevaar
Ik kijk naar haar

Zo'n meisje noemt zich dan een fan
Maar weet totaal niet wie ik ben
Zingt teksten die ik niet meer ken
Met haar lolitastem

Verder niets, er zijn alleen nog een paar dingen 
Die ik houd omdat geen mens er iets aan heeft
Dat zijn mijn goede jeugdherinneringen
Die neem je mee zolang je verder leeft

Ik weet waarom ze me vertrouwt
Ik ben haar eerste Tellen-scout
En als ze zich daar niet aan houdt
Dan zit ze fout

Ik ben te oud voor wat je bent
Ik ben te oud voor wat je zingt
Die onschuld ben ik kwijt

Wat jij daar zingt is al geweest
Jij bent de schoonheid, ik het beest
Ik kleed je uit

En mijn geluk ging zomaar voor de bijl
Maar mijn verdriet kon jou niet zo veel schelen
En dat is toch beneden alle peil

Ik ben een Lorelei in travestie
Waarop jij je te pletter vaart
Mijn ijdelheid heeft jou verleid
En jouw gezang is mij niets meer waard

Ik wil je nu, hier op het kleed
En hou niet op tot je alles vergeet
Ik wil je nu, hier op het kleed
En hou niet op tot je alles vergeet

I Never Cried So Much In All My Life
Composer(s): Will Haines; Jimmy Harper
Performer(s): Gracie Fields



Joe took me to the pictures the other evenin', it was fine
They called it The Betrayal, and the actin' was divine
It's the best film that they've had for years round at the Hippodrome
And it's a good job I took me handkerchief with me when I left home

Oh-oh-oh-oh, it was a lovely picture and I did enjoy it so
Oh-oh-oh-oh, I never cried so much in all my life
When the villains seized the maiden everybody shouted "oh"
Oh-oh-oh-oh, I never cried so much in all my life

He told her that he'd wed her, ha-ha-ha, then enticed her on his yacht
And then he got her tied up in a proper sailor's knot
Then he kissed her twice, the dirty dog, upon her beauty spot
Oh-oh-oh-oh, I never cried so much in all my life

It takes a lot to make me cry but oh dear, when I start
And think of what that girl went through I'm like a water cart
I see her eyes, I hear her voice at night when I'm in bed
And here's a scene I'll never, never get out of me head

As she faced the blinding snow storm and came trudging through the town
Oh-oh-oh-oh, I never cried so much in all my life
Oh, and when I saw her carrying their baby upside down
Oh..., I've never cried so much in all my life

She lingered near the Rose and Crown, the wind was howlin' wild
When up the village street, there came the father of her child
So she tapped him for a tanner, for a pint of Old and Mild
Oh..., I've never cried so much in all me life

The villain called on her one night, she was his one desire, ha-ha yeah
And because she wouldn't stand for him, what do you think he did, heh
What do you think he did, hah, set the house on fire
She rushed towards the window with her face all pale and sad
But the villain only laughed ha-ha then walked away, the cad

Oh, she looked so very pitiful upon the window sill
Oh… I've never cried so much in all my life
"Jump, jump" the people shouted, but she sat there calm and still
Oh… I've never cried so much in all my life

The flames burnt her kimona but she didn't seem to mind
Then she slid down a ladder 
Oh, she did look so refined
Till upon a rusty nail she left her underclothes behind
Oh… I've never cried so much in all my life
