If You Go
Composer(s): Michel Emer; Geoff Parsons
Performer(s): Alan Dean
and multiple other artists



If you should go, if you should leave him alone
There'll be no spring or birds to sing
There'd be no sun to shine on him)

If you go, if you love me no more
If I know that you want me no more
Then the sun would lose its light
And day turn into night
Night without stars
Deep night without stars

If you go, if you leave me alone
If I know you're no longer my own
Winter would replace the spring
The birds no more would sing
This cannot be, stay here with me
My heart would die I know
If you should go

Winter would replace the spring
The birds no more would sing
This cannot be, oh, stay here with me
My heart would die I know
If you should go

If You Don't Want My Love
Performer(s): Paul Young



I have given you time for spending my hours
The fine things I bought for you
The many things I’ve done for you
But now you said we are through
I’ve given you lines explaining the weather
Many things I turned your way
I taught you all the things to say
But now now you said we are through
If you don’t want my love
I have given you love the days we were sharing
You were always on my mind
Please don’t leave me far behind
But now now you said we are through
If you don’t want my love

Electra
Composer(s): Phoebe Snow
Performer(s): Phoebe Snow



She loved a man who was sweet and lean
With a Madison Avenue scar
And wherever he went to get away
He took their luxury car
Where can you run
When the old house shakes
And it's too hot to make any plans
The sidewalks crack, and the whole world quakes
'Cause you know that you chose the wrong man
Electra, the spirits tease
High up a bluff
And down on her knees
She's looking down
At kingdom come
Come back Electra
Don't jump, don't jump!
With a camera, he caught the mood
When a pen he caught what she thought
And everything worth having he mistook
For something you bought
Where can you run
When the old house shakes
And it's too hot to make any plans
The sidewalks crack, and the whole world quakes
'Cause you know that you chose the wrong man
Electra, the spirits tease
High up a bluff
And down on her knees
She's looking down
At kingdom come
Come back Electra
Don't jump, don't jump!

If You Don't Know Me By Now

Covered by multiple other artists



If you don't know me by now
You will never never never know me

All the things that we've been through
You should understand me like I understand you
Now girl I know the difference between right and wrong
I ain't gonna do nothing to break up our happy home
Oh don't get so excited when I come home a little late at night
Cause we only act like children when we argue fuss and fight

If you don't know me by now (If you don't know me)
You will never never never know me (No you won't)
If you don't know me by now
You will never never never know me

We've all got our own funny moods
I've got mine, woman you've got yours too
Just trust in me like I trust in you
As long as we've been together it should be so easy to do
Just get yourself together or we might as well say goodbye
What good is a love affair when you can't see eye to eye, oh

If you don't know me by now (If you don't know me)
You will never never never know me (No you won't)
If you don't know me by now (You will never never never know me)
You will never never never know me (ooh)

Election Day
Composer(s): Nick Rhodes - Simon Lebon - Christian Lebon - Roger Taylor
Performer(s): Arcadia



Wild kind of look to the day
Opening eyes impale neon flickers
She moon, she turning away
The city's her slave he's cheating his mistress
She's moody and grey, she's mean and she's restless
So restless indeed

All over you as they say
Rumours or rivals yell at the strike force
Hi guys, by the way
Are you aware you're being illegal?
It's making your saviour's behaviour look evil
'scuse my timing but say
How do you fit in with this Flim Flam and Judy?

Maximum big surprise your smile is something new

I pull my shirt off and pray
Sacred and bound to suffer the heatwave
Pull my shirt off and pray
We're coming up on re-election day

Stretching your love down the way
To your invitation stretching my body
Use your intuitive play
'coz maybe we have more playtime than money

Maximum big surprise she knows something new

I pull my shirt off and play
Saving myself to suffer this heatwave
Pull my shirt off and pray
We're coming up on re-election day

Byroads and backways a lover's chance
Down wind
Cut open murmurs and sounds becalm hands on skin
Carry further entangled strands
All sing
Time, saving some time to slip away
We could dance!

Shouldn't be asking...
Wild and scheming
Could be my Election Day

Maximum big surprise you know something new

I pull my shirt off and pray
I'm sacred and bound to suffer this heatwave
Pull my shirt off and pray
We're coming up on re-election day
Re-election Day

Gotta Have Rain
Composer(s): Max Bygraves
Performer(s): Max Bygraves; Eydie Gormé



If you didn't have rain
Then you couldn't have flowers
You couldn't have flowers
If you didn't have showers
Nowhere to swim
There'd be no babbling brook
There'd be no fish to catch
On the end of a hook

You couldn't wash your hands and face
You'd be as black as coal
All day you'd face the barren waste
Looking for a water hose
So you gotta have rain
Every now and then
To make the whole world shine
Then every day will turn out fine

Okay kids, let's see now
Oh, if you didn't have rain
You wouldn't have (ice cream!)
If you didn't have rain
You wouldn't have (a bat!)
If you didn't have rain
Then you couldn't have (fishes!)
And you couldn't have (a swim!)
If you didn't have rain

You'd be so awfully dirty
You'd be as black as ink
All day you'd face the barren waste
Looking for a nice cool drink
So you gotta have rain
Every now and then
To make the whole world shine
Then every day will turn out fine

If you didn't have rain
Then you couldn't have flowers
You couldn't have flowers
If you didn't have showers
Nowhere to swim
There'd be no babbling brook
There'd be no fish to catch
On the end of a hook

You'd be so awfully dirty
You'd be as black as ink
All day you'd face the barren waste
Looking for a nice cool drink
So you gotta have rain
Every now and then
To make the whole world shine
Then every day will turn out fine

I'm your top prime cut of meat, I'm your choice
I wanna be elected

I wanna be elected
Kids want a savior, don't need a fake
I wanna be elected
We're all gonna rock to the rules that I make
I wanna be elected, elected, elected

I never lied to you, I've always been cool
I wanna be elected
I gotta get the vote, and I told you 'bout school
I wanna be elected, elected, elected
Hallelujah, I wanna be selected
Everyone in the United States of America

We're gonna win this one, take the country by storm
We're gonna be elected
You and me together, young and strong
We're gonna be elected, elected, elected
Respected, selected, call collected
I wanna be elected, elected

"And if I am elected
I promise the formation of a new party
A third party, the Wild Party!

We got problems right here in Central City

Detroit, Chicago
Everybody has problems
And personally, I don't care"

If You Could See Me Now
Composer(s): Tadd Dameron; Carl Sigman
First release by: Gil Evans - 1957
Covered by multiple other artists



If you could see me now
You'd know how blue I've been
One look is all you need
To see the mood I'm in
Maybe then you'd realise
I'm still in love with you

If you could see me now
You'd find me bein' brave
I'm trying awfully hard
To make my tears behave
But thst's quite impossible
As I'm still in love with you

You'll happen my way on some memorable day
And the month will be May for a while
I'll try to smile, but can I play the part
Without my heart behind the smile

The way I feel for you I never could disguise
The look of love is written plainly in my eyes
I think you'd be mine again if you could see me now

You'll happen my way on some memorable day
And the month will be May for a while
I'll try to smile, but can I play the part
Without my heart behind the smile

The way I feel for you I never could disguise
The look of love is written plainly in my eyes
I think you'd be mine again if you could see me now

Eleanor's Castle
Composer(s): Allan Clarke
Performer(s): The Hollies



Eleanor`s Castle, boy, what a hassle
Why did you have to build yorr walls so high?
I`d put my arm around you, but a moat surrounds you
The only way`s to let your drawbridge down

Nights without number, I`m without slumber
Thinking of ways to breach your turrets tall
You`re an iron lady and someday maybe
You`ll forget to bar the iron door

Man was made to conquer, so the story goes
I wish I knew who said it he could help me `cause he knows
This situation`s gettin` way out of line
I can`t win if you won`t let me in
Ain`t it a sin? (it`s a sin she won`t let him in)

Shielded from my advances, there`s very few chances
I`m a one man crusade fightin` in vain
Rack my brains for ideas but it appears
Compared to you dragons are easily slain

Eleanor`s Castle boy, what a hassle
Why did you have to build your walls so high?
Nights without number, I`m without slumber
Thinking of ways to breach your turrets tall
Shielded from my advances, there`s very few chances
I`m a one man crusade fight` in vain

1973 - Wenn Du Nur Sehen Könntest



If you could read my mind, love
What a tale my thoughts could tell
Just like an old time movie
'Bout a ghost from a wishing well
In a castle dark or a fortress strong
With chains upon my feet
You know that ghost is me
And I will never be set free
As long as I'm a ghost that you can't see

If I could read your mind, love
What a tale your thoughts could tell
Just like a paperback novel
The kind the drugstores sell
Then you reached the part where the heartaches come
The hero would be me
But heroes often fail
And you won't read that book again
Because the ending's just too hard to take!

I'd walk away like a movie star
Who gets burned in a three way script
Enter number two
A movie queen to play the scene
Of bringing all the good things out in me
But for now, love, let's be real
I never thought I could feel this way
And I've got to say that I just don't get it
I don't know where we went wrong
But the feeling's gone
And I just can't get it back

If you could read my mind, love
What a tale my thoughts could tell
Just like an old time movie
'Bout a ghost from a wishing well
In a castle dark or a fortress strong
With chains upon my feet
But stories always end
And if you read between the lines
You'd know that I'm just tryin' to understand
The feelin's that you lack
I never thought I could feel this way
And I've got to say that I just don't get it
I don't know where we went wrong
But the feelin's gone
And I just can't get it back!

Ah, look at all the lonely people
Ah, look at all the lonely people

Eleanor Rigby, picks up the rice
in the church where a wedding has been
Lives in a dream
Waits at the window, wearing the face 
that she keeps in a jar by the door
Who is it for

All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?

Father McKenzie, writing the words
of a sermon that no one will hear
No one comes near
Look at him working, darning his socks
in the night when there's nobody there
What does he care

All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?

Ah, look at all the lonely people
Ah, look at all the lonely people

Eleanor Rigby, died in the church
and was buried along with her name
Nobody came
Father McKenzie, wiping the dirt
from his hands as he walks from the grave
No one was saved

All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?

Wenn Du nur sehen könntest
welche Bilder vor mir steh'n
Wie aus einem alten Stummfilm
durch den Spukgestalten geh'n
Da wohnt ein Geist tief im Schloßverlies
in Ketten ohne Licht
Du weiß es: das bin ich
Und niemand kann mich je befrei'n
niemand außer Dir, nur Dir allein

Wenn ich nur sehen könnte
welcher Traum einst vor Dir stand
War er wie die Romane
die man kauft am Zeitungsstand?
Als die Stelle kam wo es traurig wird
war ich die Hauptperson
und wußte nichts davon
Und weil der Schluß nicht fröhlich ist
ist dies ein Buch, das Du nicht weiterliest

So geh' ich fort wie ein Filmstarlet
dem man seine Rolle nimmt
weil man das Drehbuch kürzt
Und dieser Film war meine Chance
ich hätt' gezeigt was gutes ist in mir
Ich will offen sein zu Dir
Ich hab' nie geglaubt, daß uns etwas trennt
und ich gebe zu, ich kann's nicht verstehen
Sag, was haben wir falsch gemacht?
Das Gefühl ist fort, und ich finde es nicht mehr

Wenn Du nur sehen könntest
welche Bilder vor mir steh'n
Wie aus einem alten Stummfilm
durch den Spukgestalten geh'n
Da wohnt ein Geist tief im Schloßverlies
in Ketten ohne Licht
Schau mir bitte ins Gesicht
Wenn Du in meinen Augen liest
dann wirst Du seh'n: ich möchte nur versteh'n
warum Du nichts mehr fühlst
Ich hab' nie geglaubt, daß uns etwas trennt
und ich werde damit so leicht nicht fertig
Sag, was haben wir falsch gemacht?
Das Gefühl ist fort, und ich finde es nicht mehr

Eldorado
Performer(s): Georges Moustaki



Gens de partout
Sages et fous
écoutez bien la ballade
De celui-là
Qui s'en alla
Pour trouver l'Eldorado

Comme autrefois
Princes et rois
S'en allaient pour les croisades
Il a laissé
Tout son passé
Pour trouver l'Eldorado

Crinière au vent
Le mors aux dents
En folle cavalcade
Que cherchait-il
Vers cet exil
Là-bas en Eldorado?

Sur mon cheval
Sous les étoiles
Et le soleil en cascade
Pour que demain
Brille en nos mains
Tout l'or de l'Eldorado

Il a traîné
Comme un damné
De mirage en mirage
Il a vieilli
Jour après nuit
Sans trouver l'Eldorado

Mais la mort
Qui l'avait suivi
En fidèle camarade
Lui a dit: "Viens
Je connais bien
La terre d'Eldorado"

On l'a trouvé
Le front brûlé
Par le soleil et le sable
Sur le chemin
Qui va sans fin
Là-bas, en Eldorado

La nuit, parfois
Chante une voix
C'est son âme en ballade
Qui cherche encore
La poudre d'or
Quelque part en Eldorado
Quelque part en Eldorado
Quelque part en Eldorado
Quelque part en Eldorado

If You Can't Get A Girl In The Summertime (You'll Never Get A Girl At All)
Composer(s): Bert Kalmar; Harry Tierney



The cold, cold winter has gone 
It passed away, Hurray! 
And now the summer is on
It's time to play Hurray! 
Boys get together and choose your mate
Now's the time to get them
They all want love in the summer time 
Your chances then are great

Just look 'em straight in the eye 
Then heave a sigh, Oh my! 
And tip your hat to the sky 
Another sigh Oh my! 
She'll smile a little bit acting shy
When she does it's over
Don't waste your time in the summer time 
'Cause summer soon goes by

If you can't get a girl in the summer time 
You'll never get a girl at all
Peaches are ripe in the summer time
And that's the time they fall 
At the beaches there's a raft of them
Lovely peaches go right after them
You'll hear the wild waves saying 
Go get them, go pet them 
Don't miss a kiss in the summer time
Or you'll never kiss a Miss in the Fall 
And if you can't get a girl in the summer time 
You'll never get a girl at all

Ela E Sua Janela
Performer(s): Chico Buarque



Ela e sua menina
Ela e seu tricô
Ela e sua janela, espiando
Com tanta moça aí
Na rua o seu amor
Só pode estar dançando
Da sua janela
Imagina ela
Por onde ele anda
E ela vai talvez
Sair uma vez
Na varanda

Ela e um fogareiro
Ela e seu calor
Ela e sua janela, esperando
Com tão pouco dinheiro
Será que o seu amor
Ainda está jogando
Da sua janela
Uma vaga estrela
E um pedaço de lua
E ela vai talvez
Sair outra vez
Na rua

Ela e seu castigo
Ela e seu penar
Ela e sua janela, querendo
Com tanto velho amigo
O seu amor num bar
Só pode estar bebendo
Mas outro moreno
Jogo um novo aceno
E uma jura fingida
E ela vai talvez
Viver duma vez
A vida

If You Can Want
Composer(s): Smokey Robinson
Performer(s): Smokey Robinson & The Miracles; The Dirtbombs



Oh you may not love me now, but I'm stayin' around
'Cause you want my company
Just like push can turn to shove, like can turn to love
And it's my philosophy that...

If you can want, you can need
And if you can need, you can care
If you can care, you can love
So when you want me, I'll be there

Whenever you want me, I'll be there

Oh now this may take some time, but if time was money
I would be a millionaire
So whenever you want me, call any time at all
And for sure I'll be right there, 'cause...

If you can want, you can need
And if you can need, you can care
If you can care, you can love
So when you want me, I'll be there

(I'll be there) whenever you want me

I'll be standin' by, not far way
Let your heart give me a sign
'Cause I'm prepared to wait until I abfiducate
When you want me all the time, 'cause...

(repeat):
If you can want, you can need
And if you can need, you can care
If you can care, you can love
So when you want me, I'll be there

(I'll be there) whenever you want me

Ela É Dançarina
Composer(s): Chico Buarque
Performer(s): Chico Buarque



O nosso amor é tão bom
O horário é que nunca combina
Eu sou funcionário
Ela é dançarina
Quando pego o ponto
Ela termina

Ou: quando abro o ghichê
É quando ela abaixa a cortina
Eu sou funcionário
Ela é dançarina
Abro o meu armário
Salta serpentina

Nas questões de casal
Não se fala mal da rotina
Eu sou funcionário
Ela é dançarina
Quando caio morto
Ela empina
Ou quando eu tchum no colchão
É quando ela tchan no cenário
Ela é dançarina
Eu sou funcionário
O seu planetário
Minha lamparina

No ano dois mil e um
Se juntar algum
Eu peço licença
E a dançarina, enfim
Já me jurou
Que faz o show
Pra mim

Ela é dançarina
Eu sou funcionário
Quando eu não salário
Ela, sim, propina

No ano dois mil e um
Se juntar algum
Eu peço a Deus do céu uma licença
E a dançarina, enfim
Já me jurou
Que faz o show
Pra mim
