Sorta On The Border
Composer(s): Irving Gordon - Mack Gordon
Performer(s): Edmundo Ros; Tony Martin



I met my love one day, on the border down El Paso way
She was a little sad a little gay
She was sorta on the border

I heard her say, "Senor, tho I kinda like you more and more
In old Sonora there's a matador
And I'm sorta on the border"

I vowed that night I would love no other
I held her tight, and if you want to know what happened
Brother drop around and see, we've the cutest little family
A girl that looks like her a boy like me
And one that's sorta on the border

I met my love one day, on the border down El Paso way
She was a little sad a little gay
She was sorta on the border

I heard her say, "Senor, tho I kinda like you more and more
In old Sonora there's a matador
And I'm sorta on the border"

I vowed that night I would love no other
I held her tight, and if you want to know what happened
Brother drop around and see, we've the cutest little family
A girl that looks like her a boy like me
And one that's sorta on the border

Half The Man (Twice The Fool) 
Composer(s): Paul Jones; Tom McGuinness
Performer(s): The Blues Band



When you were by my side
I would not be satisfied
I thought the grass was greener over the hill
You gave me your heart
But I held back a part
saying "Maybe" when I should have said "I will"
 
Now I must admit
that I could not commit
I thought I’d always be your Mister Right
And when you said "We’re through"
I said "There’ll be somebody new"
and let you walk away without a fight
 
(Leaving me)

Half the man and twice the fool I was
Had a master-plan – believed I was the boss
Now I’m at the hard knock school
‘cause I broke the golden rule
Now I’m half the man and twice the fool I was
 
A man can spend his days
in a melancholic haze
of yesterdays and how-things-used-to-be
Hindsight’s never wrong
Now I know where I belong
There’s no woman in this world but you for me

Time and time again
there were warnings from my friends
They said "You’ll lose her if you carry on this way"
But I was Mr Know-It-All
riding for a fall
When you walked out the blues walked in to stay
 
(Finding me)

Half the man ………
Look at this three time loser
Now that you’re gone
I lost my heart, I lost your love
I lost the will to carry on
Half the man ……

Sorry Suzanne
Composer(s): Geoff Stephens - Tony Macaulay
First release by: The Hollies - 1969
Covered by: Jon Brion - 1995



I can't make it if you leave me
I'm sorry Suzanne 
Believe me, I was wrong
and I knew I was all along
Forgive me

I still love you, more than ever
I'm sorry Suzanne, for ever hurting you
You know I never wanted to
I'm truly sorry, Suzanne

I could never ever justify
all the tears I made you cry
But I do regret it, my Suzanne
You got to believe me

I was looking 'round for someone new
What a foolish thing to do
All the time I knew it
Heaven knows what made me do it, girl

I can't make it if you leave me
I'm sorry Suzanne 
Believe me, I was wrong
and I knew I was all along, all along
I'm truly sorry, Suzanne

If you would only take me back again
things would be so different then
What I wouldn't give for
one more chance to live for you, Suzanne

I can't make it if you leave me
I'm sorry Suzanne 
Believe me, I was wrong
and I knew I was all along
Forgive me

I still love you, more than ever
I'm sorry Suzanne, for ever hurting you
You know I never wanted to
I'm truly sorry, Suzanne

Half My Heart's In Texas
Composer(s): Linda Hargrove
Performer(s): Ernest Tubb



Now ever since you went away I haven’t been the same
You can ask my friends 
they’ll say I’ve been through quite a change
I can’t seem to understand why you walk out on me
But now Half My Heart’s In Texas and the other half in Tennessee

Half My Heart’s In Texas that’s the part that went with you
Tennessee’s got part of me but Lord what can I do
If half of me is missin’ how much of me is free
With half my heart in Texas and the other half in Tennessee

Ah Pete and Lynn

You didn’t even say goodbye and Lord knows how it hurts
I ain’t mad but it makes me mad that you treat me like dirt
I still think the world of you and dream how it could be
But now Half My Heart’s In Texas and the other half in Tennessee

Half My Heart’s In Texas that’s the part that went with you
Tennessee’s got part of me but Lord what can I do
If half of me is missin’ how much of me is free
With half my heart in Texas and the other half in Tennessee

If half of me is missin’ how much of me is free
With half my heart in Texas and the other half in Tennessee

Liefde Is Een Kaartspel
First performance by: Lisa Del Bo - 1996



Charmes had je bij de vleet
Brandend wist ik wat je deed
Maar m'n hart verlangde
Naar die wilde handen
Ik was gewoon van streek
Ook al zag ik jou bij anderen staan
Ook al ging je met hen aan de haal
Ik wou en zou je krijgen
Je aan m'n degen rijgen
Al speelde ik met vuur

Liefde is een kaartspel
Met jokers en pokers
Liefde is een steekspel
Van geven en nemen
Liefde is een kaartspel
Van dames en heren
Liefde is een kansspel
Voor winnaars zoals jij

Passie won van tederheid
Furie van gezelligheid
Wou je mij verslinden
Zonder je te binden
Mij raak je nooit meer kwijt
Ook al ga je graag je eigen gang
Jou verlaten maakt me niet meer bang
Ik wil en zal je krijgen
Je aan m'n degen rijgen
Al speel ik nog met vuur

Liefde is een kaartspel
Met jokers en pokers
Liefde is een steekspel
Van geven en nemen
Liefde is een kaartspel
Van dames en heren
Liefde is een kansspel
Voor winnaars zoals jij

Jij en ik
Jij of ik
Jij met die weet ik niet 't is genoeg
Speel je niet
Speel je wel
Speel je spel
Jij bent hartentroef

Liefde is een kaartspel
Met jokers en pokers
Liefde is een steekspel
Van geven en nemen
Liefde is een kaartspel
Van dames en heren
Liefde is een kansspel
Voor winnaars zoals wij

Well the colours cross my mind in a wave
And the feelings that I find so very hard to say
And I've gone with the rain making out
But you never felt the same you are in doubt
Well
You mystified me I know
And then you walked by me
And the spell was broken in two

Too soon my eyes grow dim and I try
To recognise the figures drifting by
And too late the sane man comes with the key
And I fight the loneliness that just ain't me
And now the evening bows to the night
And I feel the world go down before my eyes
And recklessly I'm running round
As I try to find another that ain't so proud
Hey you know
There's someone who seems like you in every way
I'm going to search I'm going to search I'm going to search
I'm going to search every day

Many years ago in my past
I realise my dream would never last
And constantly the letters fade
And I sense the better half is already played
And the colours cross my mind in a wave
And the feelings that I find so very hard to say
And I've gone with the rain making out
But you never you never felt the same you are in doubt
Oh you're still in doubt

Sorry, Sorry, Sorry
Composer(s): Hoffman - Manning
Performer(s): Alma Cogan



Sorry sorry sorry
You always say you're sorry
But you're always breaking my heart
You keep on doing things that get me upset
How many times can I forgive and forget?

You know I love you love you love you
But eventhough I love you, I may have to tell you goodbye
And when you beg me to make a new start
I'll say I'm sorry sorry sorry sweetheart

Oh you keep on doing things that get me upset
How many times can I forgive and forget?
You know I love you love you love you
But eventhough I love you, I may have to tell you goodbye
And when you beg me to make a new start
I'll say I'm sorry sorry sorry
I'm sorry sweetheart

Sorry I Never Knew You
Composer(s): Little Branch
Performer(s): The Browns; Sherman Branch; The Sego Brothers & Naomi



Last night as I lay sleeping a dream came to me
I dreamed about the end of time about eternity
I saw a million sinners fall on their face and pray
the Lord just sadly looked at them and this I heard Him say

Sorry, I never knew you, I have no record of your birth
sorry, I never knew you
go serve the one that you served while on earth

Well I thought that the time has surely come when I must face my trials
and I told the Lord that I had been a Christian all the while
and through his book he took a look and sadly shook his head
he placed me over on the left and this is what he said

Sorry, I never knew you, I have no record of your birth
sorry, I never knew you
go serve the one that you served while on earth

Well I saw my wife and children, I heard their loving voice
they must have been so happy, O how they did rejoice
their robes of white around them, a crown upon their head
my little girl looked up to me and this is what she said

Daddy, we can't go with you, we must dwell in the joy of our Lord
Sorry, but we still love you, but you'll never be our Daddy anymore

And then I awakened, the tears were in my eyes
and looking all around me and there to my surprise
there was my wife and children, I knew it was a dream
so kneeling at my bedside you should have heard me pray

Father who art in Heaven, I know you gave your only son
forgive me and let me serve thee, for I want to be ready when He comes

My arms reach out for you I kiss you tenderly
But you touch my lips you're kissing him not me, why must it be
Half heaven, half heartache, my lovin' you, darlin'
Can't you forget that other love you knew?, hmm

Within your angel eyes a world of dreams are there
Yet I'll keep wondering if they are mine to share, oh it's just not fair
Half heaven, half heartache, my loving you, darlin'
Oh let my love be strong enough to take away the heartache
And make my life a heaven on earth with you-ou-oo-ou

Half heaven, half heartache, my loving you, darlin'
Oh let my love be strong enough to take away the heartache
And make my life a heaven on earth with you-ou-oo-oo-ou

What have I got to do to make you love me
What have I got to do to make you care
What do I do when lightning strikes me
And I wake up to find that you're not there

What have I got to do make you want me
What have I got to do to be heard
What do I say when it's all over
And sorry seems to be the hardest word

It's sad, so sad
It's a sad, sad situation
And it's getting more and more absurd
It's sad, so sad
Why can't we talk it over
Oh it seems to me
That sorry seems to be the hardest word

What have I got to do to make you love me
What have I got to do to be heard,
What do I do when lightning strikes me
What have I got to do?
What have I got to do?
When sorry seems to be the hardest word

Half As Much
Composer(s): Curley Williams
Performer(s): Rosemary Clooney



If you loved me half as much as I love you
You wouldn't worry me half as much as you do
You're nice to me when there's no one else around
You only build me up to let me down

If you missed me half as much as I miss you
You wouldn't stay away half as much as you do
I know that I would never be this blue
If you only loved me half as much as I love you

You're nice to me when there's no one else around
You only build me up to let me down

If you missed me half as much as I miss you
You wouldn't stay away half as much as you do
I know that I would never be this blue
If you only loved me half as much as I love you

Au long court
D'où l'on ne revient jamais

Je sais
Maintenant tu es avec les anges
Pour toujours
Pour toujours et à jamais

Half As Lovely (Twice As True)
Composer(s): Sammy Gallop; Lew Spence
Performer(s): Frank Sinatra



If your eyes were half as bright, they still would light my way
If your heart were twice as true then you'd be mine today
That's why I often wish that you were half as lovely, twice as true
I'm only one of those who thinks of you and sighs
Just another who knows your laughter and lies
I wish that you were someone who was half as lovely, twice as true
I love you, I love you, too much it seems, for any fool can see
With your heart so crowded with other dreams, how can you dream of me?
Though I pray the gods of love will make you care, somehow
Still I know the odds of love are all against me now
But I might stand a chance if you were half as lovely, twice as true
Maybe, if your loveliness were not so heavenly
Maybe then I might possess the only one for me
I wish you ere someone who was half as lovely, twice as true

Wat wil je dat ik doe om jou te krijgen
Wat wil je dat ik doe opdat jij me ziet
Wil je dat ik praat of blijf ik zwijgen
Zeg me wat ik doe met dit verdriet

Wat doe ik opdat je mij zou willen
Wat moet ik doen opdat jij me hoort
Ik heb zo'n spijt van vele dingen
En sorry lijkt hier niet het juiste woord

Wat vreemd, zo vreemd
Wat een vreemde situatie
En het maakt me bang, oneindig bang
Wat vreemd, zo vreemd
Waarom gaat het niet over
Sorry lijkt hier niet
Sorry lijkt hier niet het juiste woord

Mmm wat vreemd, zo vreemd
Wat een vreemde situatie
En het maakt me bang, oneindig bang
Wat vreemd, zo vreemd
Waarom gaat het niet over
Sorry lijkt hier niet
Sorry lijkt hier niet het juiste

Wat wil je dat ik doe om jou te krijgen
Wat wil je dat ik doe opdat jij me ziet
Wat moet ik doen als jij blijft zwijgen
Wat moet ik toch doen
Zeg me wat ik moet doen
Want sorry lijkt hier niet het juiste woord

Half A Sixpence
Composer(s): David Heneker
Performer(s): Tommy Steele



I read in the Sunday papers what lovers’ tokens are
There’s amulets and there’s talismans
Like a ring or a lucky star
It says that half a sovereign 
Is a thing they use a lot
But sixpence is the only thing I’ve got

Still, half a sixpence
Is better than half a penny
Is better than half a farthing
Is better than none
It’s a token of
Our eternal love
When you’re far away
Touch it everyday
And, though, that half a sixpence
Can only mean half a romance
Remember that half a romance
Is better than none
But when I’m with you
One and one make two
And, likewise, two half sixpences
Joined together make one

Was kann ich jetzt noch tun um Dich zu halten?
Was immer ich versuch', es ist zu spät
Was kann ich tun damit Du mich liebst
Alles wäre jetzt bestimmt verkehrt

Was kann ich tun damit Du hierbleibst?
Wie laut muß ich schreien daß Du mich hörst?
Gibt's noch ein Wort das Dich nicht kalt läßt?
"Sorry" hab' ich viel zu oft gesagt

Zu spät, Du gehst, als wärst Du nie hier gewesen
Wo Du hingehst hab' ich nie gefragt
Du gehst, Du gehst, als hätt's uns nie gegeben
Ich hab' so das Gefühl
"Sorry" hab' ich viel zu oft gesagt

Zu spät, Du gehst, als wärst Du nie hier gewesen

I don't love you like I used to do but I'm afraid to tell you so
I've got half a mind to leave you but only half the heart to go
Words to tell you just don't come to me guess my courage is too slow

Now time may prove that you're not to blame 
But now's the time I need to know
I've got half a mind to leave you but only half the heart to go

Mitä mä teen niin, että jälleen
pitää sua saisin lähelläin
Mistä löytää langan elämälleen
Mihin tukisin, kun yksin jäin
Miten sinut saisin välittämään
vain hetkiseksi vielä itsestäin
Miten sinut saisin ymmärtämään
kyyneleesi jälkeen kaiken näin

Jos saisin, jos saan
sanan sanoa, jonka taisin
jo kauan sitten unohtaa
Jos saisin, jos saan
vain sanotuksi saisin
Niin on aina mun
anteeksi kai pyytää vaikeaa

Mitä mä teen sä, että voisit
nähdä koko yksinäisyytein
Mitä mä teen sä, että soisit
anteeksi nyt sen
summan virheiden
Anteeksi on pyytää vaikeaa

You'd better run
you'd better hide

You'd better lock you house and keep the kids inside
Here come the twentieth century's latest scam
he's a half a boy and half a ma]
He ain't a fool but he's a tool

Because his left don't know what his right hand's doin'
He'd keep a King Kong eating out of the palm of his hand

Now he's a half a boy and half a man

Or else the S.P.G. 's gonna clear the streets
They never made no provision in the original plan for half a boy and half a man
Oh
when his fingers do the walking in the middle of the night
When his people stalk in 
baby
let me tell you
nothing comes out right
Best be fleet up on your feet

Oh
when his fingers do the walking in the middle of the night

You'd better run
you'd better hide

He's a half a boy and half a man
he's a half a boy and half a man

He's a half a boy and half a man - come on
