Tell Me About It Composer(s): Bill LaBounty - Pat McLaughlin Performer(s): Delbert McClinton & Tanya Tucker and multiple other artists
They say that there's a hole in the atmosphere The things you think will last disappear When you were ready to say I do Somebody lowered the boom on you Now you need a sympathetic ear
Tell me about it Tell me about teardrops in the dark Tell me about it Tell me about your broken heart You say you need someone to hold you tight (You) can't stand another lonely night Well come closer and Tell me about it
Love isn't always true it hurts sometimes Your tears will tell on you girl, I'm not blind I know what you're goin' through I graduated from that school too If you need a shoulder cry on mine
Tell me about it Tell me about teardrops in the dark Tell me about it Tell me about your broken heart You say you need someone to hold you tight (You) can't stand another lonely night Well come closer and Tell me about it
You took a lesson in playin' a fool I graduated from that school too If you need a shoulder cry on mine
Tell me about it Tell me about teardrops in the dark Tell me about it Tell me about your broken heart You say you need someone to hold you tight (You) can't stand another lonely night Well come closer and Tell me about it
My Last Date (With You) Composer(s): Boudleaux Bryant; Floyd Cramer; Skeeter Davis Performer(s): Skeeter Davis and various other artists
One hour and I'll be needing you I know you're gonna make me blue My heart is trembling through and through 'Cause I know very well I can tell, I can tell This will be my last date with you
Just can't believe that this could end I know I'll never love again You'll ask me to be just a friend It's as plain as can be I can see, I can see This will be my last date with you
I know we had a quarrel But all sweethearts do
I gave my love to prove to you That I would always love you and be true
I know you've met somebody new You'll tell me you and I are through My plans and dreams cannot come true And when you say goodbye I know I will cry 'Cause I'll know it's my last date with you

When I was young then all my boughs were thickly hung with glittering hopes But one by one they've blown away and only one remains today It flutters out upon the air one hope all pinned on gossamer
What are all lives but gossamer in one lacy cobweb crossed? Yet strand by strand we tear at it until the pattern's lost And one by one hopes blow away till only one remains today
I hope the forest will return to climb the mist-hung morning slopes Where falling leaves deep-banked in fern may meet the water ouzel's hopes But one by one they've blown away and only one remains today
And when the condor opens flight on crystal air not cracked or stained by any fallen angel's flight these glittering hopes may be regained
When I was young then all my boughs were thickly hung with glittering hopes But one by one they've blown away and only one remains today It flutters out upon the air one hope all pinned on gossamer

Tell Me Composer(s): Tom Scholz Performer(s): Boston
I stand on my own And wonder if you've ever been alone with all the world around you Say the word; I'd be there And like a fool I'd go anywhere Just like the day I found you Tell me what you see Tell me you believe in my love Tell me what you need Tell me you believe in my love I don't understand what to say You take my breath then you walk away Your life goes on without me And you can look right at me But in your eyes it's a mystery What do you fell about me? Tell me if it's real Tell me what you feel in my love Tell me what you see Tell me you believe in my love Tell me what to give Tell me I can live for your love Tell me not to leave Tell me to believe in your love I don't really know what to say I don't know how but I could learn to pray If prayin' makes you hear me I could stay on my own And wonder if I'd have ever known But I just want you near me Tell me if it's real Tell me what you feel in my love Tell me what you need Tell me you believe in my love Tell me what to give Tell me how to live for your love Tell me what you see Tell me to believe in your love
My Kind Of Music Composer(s): Edgar Leslie; Phillip Park Performer(s): Sam Browne; Lew Stone
Roaring traffic, the tramping of feet Lilting laughter from crowds in the street Thats my kind of music I want to go to town Phone bells ringing, a pneumatic drill Swing doors swinging, loose change in the till Thats my kind of music I want to go to town
Two lovers doing a spot of wooing Inside a taxi creeping round the park The elevators, the escalators The roar of rush hour trains And mind the doors, pass down the car, please
Give me rhythm, the best in the land Let me hear that Palladium band Thats my kind of music The top of the world is London Town I want to go to town
Goofus Composer(s): William Harold; Gus Kahn; Wayne King Performer(s): The Carpenters; and various other artists
I was born on a farm out in Ioway A flaming youth Who was bound that he'd fly away I packed my grip And I grabbed my saxophone Can't read notes but I play anything by ear I made up tunes on the sounds that I used to hear I'd start to play, folks used to say Sounds a little goofus to me
Corn-fed chords appeal to me I like rustic harmony Hold the note 'n change the key That's called goofus Not accordin' to the rules That you learn at music schools But the folks just dance like fools They love goofus
Got a job but I just couldn't keep it long The leader said I played all the music wrong So I stepped out with an outfit of my own Got together a new kind of orchestry And we all played just the same goofus harmony And I must admit, we made a hit Goofus has been lucky for me
I must admit, we made a hit Goofus has been lucky for me
Tell Mama Composer(s): Raymond Simmonds Performer(s): Savoy Brown
Quit my job, aint got no money Seems I have to leave this town Packed my bags, run to the station Board the train thats eastward bound
Tell Mama And all the folks back home Sometimes a man just feels He's got to make it alone Tell Mama Why I'm leaving so soon Because this life I live Has got me sick through and through
Nothing to do, thats why I had to go Seemed no use in hanging round I can't stop now, the tickets in my hand Board the train thats eastward bound
Tell Mama And all the folks back home Sometimes a man just feels He's got to make it alone Tell Mama Why I'm leaving so soon Because this life I live Has got me sick through and through
Quit my job, aint got no money Seems I have to leave this town
Tell Mama And all the folks back home Sometimes a man just feels He's got to make it alone Tell Mama Why I'm leaving so soon Because this life I live Has got me sick through and through
Goody Two Shoes Composer(s): Adam Ant; Marco Pirroni Performer(s): Adam & The Ants; Danny Dean & The Homewreckers; The Starlite Singers
With the heartbreak open so much you can't hide Put on a little make up make - up
Make sure they get your good side good side If the words unspoken get stuck in your throat Send a treasure token token write it on a pound note pound note Goody Two Goody Two Goody-Goody Two Shoes Goody Two Goody Two Goody-Goody Two Shoes You don't drink don't smoke What do you do? You don't drink don't smoke What do you do? The subtle innuendos follow There must be something inside We don't follow fashion that would be a joke You know we're gonna set them set them
So evr'yone can take note take note When I saw you kneeling crying words that you mean Opening the eye-balls eye-balls Pretending that you're Al Green Al Green Goody-Two Goody-Two Goody-Goody Two Shoes . . . No one's gonna tell me what's wrong and what's right
Or tell me who to eat with sleep with Or foul up on the big fight big fight Look out or they will tell you you're a super star Two weeks and you're an all time legend I think the games have gone much too far If the word's unspoken get stuck in your throat . . . Don't drink don't smoke What do you do? . . Don't drink don't smoke What do you do? Don't drink don't smoke What do you do? Don't drink don't smoke What do you do?
Ne Me Splitte Pas ((Adapted from: Ne Me Quitte Pas (Simone Langlois) - 1959)) Composer(s): Jacques Brel - Hugo Poliart
Bronvermelding: http://www.13lignes.be (22 januari 2011)
Ne me splitte pas Il faut négocier Tout peut s'négocier Qui s'enfuit déjà? Oublier le temps Des malentendus Et le temps perdu À savoir comment Oublier ces heures Qui tuaient parfois À coups de pourquoi Le conciliateur Ne me splitte pas Ne me splitte pas Ne me splitte pas Ne me splitte pas...
Moi je t'offrirai Des tas de compromis Un nouveau pays Où on ne chôme pas Je te laisserai des terres, et la Mer du Nord Si on peut encore, y boire une bonne bière Je ferai un domaine Où l'emploi sera à toi La sécu sera à moi Mais on gardera la Reine Ne me splitte pas Ne me splitte pas Ne me splitte pas Ne me splitte pas...
Ne me splitte pas Je te rédigerai Des notes insensées Que tu approuveras Je te parlerai De ces partis-là Qui ont vu deux fois Leur score augmenter Je te raconterai L'histoire de ce roi Mort de n'avoir pas Pu se reposer Ne me splitte pas Ne me splitte pas Ne me splitte pas Ne me splitte pas...
On a vu souvent Rejaillir le feu D'un gouvernement Qu'on croyait trop vieux Il est paraît-il Des têtes brûlées Prêtes à négocier Jusqu'au mois d'avril Mais quand je lis Le Soir Avec Jan Bucquoy Le rouge, jaune et noir Ne s'épousent-ils pas? Ne me splitte pas Ne me splitte pas Ne me splitte pas Ne me splitte pas
Ne me splitte pas Je ne veux plus voter Je n'vais plus me raser Je me cacherai là À te regarder Parler et sourire Dans ma petite télé Pour éviter le pire Je veux bien grandir Te tendre la main Apprendre le latin Et l'apprendre à mon chien Mais Ne me splitte pas Ne me splitte pas Ne me splitte pas Ne me splitte pas...
