Nickel Song ((French Version: Pour Quelques Centimes (Nana Mouskouri) - 1971)) Composer(s): Melanie Safka First release by: Melanie Safka - 1971
Well you know that I'm not a gambler but I'm being gambled on they put in a nickel and I sing a little song da-da-da-da... they put in a nickel and I sing a little song
Well, I don't mind that they're lucky but it seems that they always win and gamblin' is illegal in the state of mind i'm in and if I had a nickel for each time that I've been put on I would be their nickel man, and I'd sing a little song
they're only putting in a nickel and they want a dollar song they're only putting in a little to get rid of a lot that's wrong
Well I don't know so many things but I know what's been goin' on We're only putting in a little to get rid of a lot that's wrong and if we had a nickel for each time that we've been put on we'd all be their nickel man and we'd sing a nickel song
you know they're only putting in a nickel and they win a dollar song oh, yeah, they're only putting in a little, to get rid of a lot that's wrong oh, they're only putting in a nickel to win a dollar song

Now it's been somethin' seein' you again In this time we've had to spend You've been so good to be around I thank you for that special thrill Keep me going on until The next time I'm in town
Though I won't be back here for a while Or hear your laughter, see you smile And I'll remember what went down I can't tell you how or when But I'll be seeing you again The next time I'm in town
Now the faces and the places range 'cross the bridge of time and change Once again I'm homeward bound There's one thing I promise you And that's another rendezvous The next time I'm in town
Now it's been something seeing you again And in this time we've had to spend You've been so good to be around And I thank you for that special thrill Keep me goin' on until The next time I'm in town 'Til the next time I'm in town 'Til the next time I'm in town

The Next Time Composer(s): Buddy Kaye - Philip Springer Performer(s): Cliff Richard
They say I'll love again some day a truer love will come my way, the next time But after you, there'll never be a next time for me
They say that I'll find happiness in someone else's warm caress, the next time I'll soon forget your kiss and heartache such as this will just be ancient history
They say that I'm a fool to weep that I won't go on losing sleep, the next time That someone else will mend the heart you've broken in two
But, how can I fall in love, the next time when I'm still so very much in love with you?
They say that I'm a fool to weep that I won't go on losing sleep, the next time That someone else will mend the heart you've broken in two
But, how can I fall in love, the next time when I'm still so very much in love with you?

Relight My Fire Composer(s): Dan Hartman Performer(s): Dan Hartman; and various other artists
Help me escape this feeling of insecurity I need you so much but I don't think you really need me But if we all stand up in the name of love And state the case of what we're dreamin' of I've got to say I only dream of you But like a thief in the night You took away the love that I knew
Relight my fire Your love is my only desire Relight my fire Cuz I need your love
Turn back the time till the days when our love was new, do you remember No matter what was happenin I was there with you, aha But if we all stand up for what we believe And maybe live within our possibilities The world would be wild for the dream So baby don't turn away Listen to what I gotta say
Relight my fire Your love is my only desire Relight my fire Cuz I need your love
Relight my fire Your love is my only desire Relight my fire Cuz I need your love
Yeah, you gotta be strong enough to walk on through the night (yeah) There's a new day on the other side(yeah) You gotta have hope in your soul Just keep on walkin Just keep on walkin
Strong enough to walk on through the night There's a new day on the other side Cos I got hope in my soul And I'll keep walking baby Keep on walking baby
The Next Man That I Marry Composer(s): Terry Cashman - Gene Pistilli - Tommy West Performer(s): Jim & Ingrid Croce
The last face that I looked on Can't recall too much about The image of it left me Each time the lights went out The last mind that I wandered I remember how I ran Just to find the road had ended Just where it began
The next man that I marry There ain't nothin' he won't do Most likely love me too much
The next hands that I hide in Will be warm and dry as smoke Just as satisfied to hold me As to dust my winter coat The next soul that I sleep in Will be soft as summer rain And when I need more lovin' He'll love me once again
The next man that I marry There ain't nothin' he won't do Most likely love me too much
The next man that I marry There ain't nothin' he won't do Most likely love me too much Just like you

De la Sierra Morena Cielito lindo, vienen bajando Un par de ojitos negros Cielito lindo, de contrabando
Ay, ay, ay, ay Canta y no llores Porque cantando se alegran Cielito lindo, los corazones
Pajaro que abandona Cielito lindo, su primer nido Si lo encuentra ocupado Cielito lindo, bien merecido
Ay, ay, ay, ay Canta y no llores Porque cantando se alegran Cielito lindo, los corazones
Ese lunar que tienes Cielito lindo, junto a la boca No se lo des a nadie Cielito lindo que a mi me toca
Ay, ay, ay, ay Canta y no llores Porque cantando se alegran Cielito lindo, los corazones
Si tu boquita, morena Fuera de azucar, fuera de azucar Yo me lo pasaría Cielito lindo, chupa que chupa
Ay, ay, ay, ay Canta y no llores Porque cantando se alegran Cielito lindo, los corazones
De tu casa a la mía Cielito lindo, no hay más que un paso Ahora que estamos solos Cielito lindo, dame un abrazo
Ay, ay, ay, ay Canta y no llores Porque cantando se alegran Cielito lindo, los corazones
Don't you ever let a chance go by O Lord Don't you ever let a chance go by
'Cause up in Newcastle They have very strange mating habits All the young women of Newcastle Walk down the main street Which is called Hunter Street (for reasons which will become obvious later on in the song) And all the young men of Newcastle Drive down Hunter Street In their hot FJ Holdens With chrome-plated grease nipples and double reverse twin cam door handles Sitting eight abreast in the front seat And they would lean out the window And say real cool things to the sheilas on the footpath
Like uhhh.... 'G'day' And every now and then of course One of the young ladies thinks to herself uuum, uuuuuum
Don't you ever let a chance go by O Lord Don't you ever let a chance go by Don't you ever let a chance go by O Lord Don't you ever let a chance go by
Anyway there was this mob of blokes driving down Hunter Street In the front seat of their hot FJ With chrome-plated grease nipples and twin overhead foxtails And the cooolest of them all Who got to sit near the window Was young Normie
They pulled up outside the Parthenon milkbar And standing outside the Parthenon Was this beautiful looking sheila 'Oooohh'... 'Oooooohh'... said young Normie Who'd come top of his class in English 'Ooooohh'... he said So he leaned out the window and he said real suave like he said... 'Uh, G'day'
This nine foot tall Hells Angel Came out of the Parthenon milkbar He looked at Norm and said 'Oh what are ya!' Norm said 'What are you?' The bloke on the footpath said 'Do you wanna go do ya mate, eh' Norm said 'yeah, do you wanna go, mate' The bloke on the footpath said 'Yeah, I'll have a go' Norm said, 'Do you know who ya pickin'' The bloke on the footpath said 'Nooo, who am I pickin'' Norm said, 'You find out!'
And all of a sudden there was a break in the traffic As any young Newcastle lad knows When you are getting monstered by a nine foot tall Hells Angel And there's a break in the traffic...
Don't you ever let a chance go by O Lord Don't you ever let a chance go by Don't you ever let a chance go by O Lord Don't you ever let a chance go by
Don't you ever let a chance go by O Lord Don't you ever let a chance go by Don't you ever let a chance go by O Lord Don't you ever let a chance go by

The New Soft Shoe
Composer(s): Gram Parsons
Performer(s): Gram Parsons
It was forty or fifty years ago
A big shot played with time
Mister Walker held the door
And both kept Cord and line
Watched and checked on every single day
Building his own special cars
His very special way
Ooh! The new soft shoe
Ooh! The new soft shoe
And then walking through a southern road
I saw a shoeshine stand
A man was talking to a crowd
Holding slippers in his hands
Don't you know the same thing happens
Each and every day?
Did you ever hear a song
That's hard to even play?
Ooh! The new soft shoe
Ooh! The new soft shoe
Then a color TV broadcast
Snuck from New Orleans
Showed me one more man who spoke
and wore bright blue and green
When you saw him talk his way
Was when he showed his claws
And spoke to people every day
Just to get applause
Ooh! The new soft shoe
Ooh! The new soft shoe...

Ritorno al mare dove ho sognato con te e sembra dirmi ciao Ciao, ciao!
Rivedo ancor i vecchi amici che ho e mi salutano Ciao, ciao!
E sulla spiaggia limpida non e' cambiato niente Sotto il sole caldo io ti cerco tra la gente so che ci sei Ecco mi hai vista, e tu mi vieni incontro correndo e stai sorridendomi Ciao, ciao! Grido chia mandoti Ciao, ciao! Amore ab bracciami Ciao, ciao! Sono tornata da te Ciao, ciao!
Tu non lo sai con quanta ansia aspettai di rivedere te Ciao, ciao! Ora di te non voglio perdere mai neanche un attimo Ciao, ciao!
Diventeranno facili i baci dell'estate Passeremo insieme cento ore innamorate ma poi verra' il giorno che partiro' Alla stazione verrai la mano tu agiti
Ciao, ciao! Io sto per piangere Ciao, ciao! Il treno va io grido Ciao, ciao! Non ti scordare di me Ciao, ciao!
Strumentale (Tu non lo sai) Ciao, ciao! Strumentale (Ora di te non) Ciao, ciao!

Chemical change like a laser beam You've shattered the warning amber light Make me warm Let me see you moving everything over Smiling in my room You know you'll be inside of my mind soon
There are so many of you White shirt and tie, white shirt and tie White shirt and tie, wedding ring, wedding ring
Mulligan stew for Bloom The only Jew in the room Saxon's sick on the holy dregs And their constant getting throw up on his leg
Molly's gone to blazes Boylan's crotch amazes Any woman whose husband sleeps with his head All buried down at the foot of his bed
I've got his arm I've got his arm I've had it for weeks I've got his arm Stephen won't give his arm To no gold star mother's farm War's good business so give your son And I'd rather have my country die for me
Sell your mother for a Hershey bar Grow up looking like a car There are All you want to do is live All you want to do is give but Somehow it all falls apart!

Il n'y a plus dans cette ville la joie qu'il y avait avant Dans Le Temps Je suis perdue dans cette ville sans toi, toi qui maimais, pourtant Dans Le Temps Je m'en vais seule au long des rues retrouver le passé D'un amour qui n'existe plus, mais qui a commencé Dans cette ville J'ai beau chercher, mais plus rien; j'ai beau chercher dans les rues, mais Pourtant c'est en vain, tu sais
Dans Le Temps - quand on s'aimait, oh oui Dans Le Temps - je m'en souviens, oh oui Dans Le Temps - qui a passé depuis Dans Le Temps; Dans Le Temps Dans ce quartier où l'on ne vit que la nuit, il y a comme avant Dans Le Temps Autant de vie, de lumière et de bruit; on y venait souvent Dans Le Temps Au club où l'on allait danser, j'ai traîné mon ennui Quand le barman m'a vue entrer tout' seule, il a compris Ma grande peine Il n'a rien dit, mais je sais qu'il a compris; il a mis l'air Que l'on fredonnait, tu sais Dans Le Temps - quand on s'aimait, oh oui Dans Le Temps - tu t'en souviens, oh oui Dans Le Temps - qui a passé depuis Dans Le Temps; Dans Le Temps Dans cette ville rien n'a changé, si tu reviens un jour
Avec au cur quelque regrets, rêvant de notr' amour Dans cette ville Rien n'a changé, mais pourtant, tu vas marcher dans les rues, mais Rien n'est comme avant, tu sais
Dans Le Temps - quand on s'aimait, oh oui Dans Le Temps - tu t'en souviens, oh oui Dans Le Temps - qui a passé depuis Dans Le Temps; Dans Le Temps
