First release by: The Beatles - 1965
Covered by multiple other artists



We said our goodbyes
Love was in your eyes
Now today I find
You have changed you mind
Treat me like you did the night before

Were you telling lies?
Was I so unwise?
When I held you near
You were so sincere
Treat me like you did the night before

Last night is the night
I will remember you by
When I think of things we did
It makes me wanna cry

We said our goodbyes
Love was in your eyes
Now today I find
You have changed you mind
Treat me like you did the night before

When I held you near
You were so sincere
Treat me like you did the night before

Last night is the night
I will remember you by
When I think of things we did
It makes me wanna cry

Were you telling lies?
Was I so unwise?
When I held you near
You were so sincere
Treat me like you did the night before
Like the night before

Cigarette In The Rain
Composer(s): Barry Coffing - Ruth McCartney
Performer(s): Randy Crawford; Cynthia Schloss



I guess the end is near
The reasons now are clear
Still it seems strange somehow to fall in love
Only to find that love is not enough

Like a cigarette in the rain
A single drop would stop the flame
We were lovers, but we were never friends
I should known that it won't end
When the first dawn came
Like a cigarette in the rain

What a cruel twist of fate
To watch our love turn to hate
All of the arguments, the needless fights
Nothing in common, but our sleepless nights

Like a cigarette in the rain
A single drop would stop the flame
We were lovers, but we were never friends
I should known that it won't end
When the first dawn came
Like a cigarette in the rain

Heard the thunder miles away
Didn't think that it work out this way
The storm and it rained all night
Washed away your love before the morning light

Like a cigarette in the rain
A single drop would stop the flame
We were lovers, but we were never, never friends
I should known that it won't end
When the first dawn came
Like a cigarette in the rain

Like a cigarette in the rain

Remedios
Composer(s): Gabriella Ferri
Performer(s): Gabriella Ferri



Remedios, niña pequeña, chiquita, hermosa, preciosa
Linda niñita quedada así, sentada en la orilla del mar
y las manos llenas de perlas
el sol en tu frente y en la sonrisa
blanca orquidea, alma y paloma
y la alegría, tú cantas consuelo
tú cantas esperanza, tú cantas remedios
espera que un día yo pueda decirte
"te quiero pequeña, chiquita, preciosa,
hermosa, piccola, piccola, piccola, piccola, pico, pico, pico..."

El sol en tu frente y en la sonrisa
blanca orguidea, alma y paloma
y la alegría, tú cantas consuelo
tú cantas esperanza, tú cantas remedios
espera que un día yo pueda decirte
"te quiero, pequeña, chiquita, preciosa
hermos, piccola, piccola, piccola
piccola, pico, pico, pico..."

Tu historia, una vez, nos la contó
dios, tu hermanito con su guitarra
tú estabas dormida baja la luna
tú estabas feliz, pequeña Remedios
espera que un día yo pueda decirte
"te quiero, pequeña, chiquita, preciosa
hermos, piccola, piccola, piccola
piccola, pico, pico, pico..."

Pour Quelques Centimes
((Adapted from: Nickel Song (Melanie Safka) - 1971))
Composer(s): Melanie Safka - Pierre Delanoë
Performer(s): Nana Mouskouri - 1971



On sait que je ne suis pas joueuse
Pourtant on joue sur mon nom
Pour quelques centimes
Je leur chante une chanson
Lalala...
Pour quelques centimes
Je leur chante une chanson

Oui, c'est comme une boîte à musique
Un piano mécanique oui
Si le jeu est illégal
Dans mon état d'esprit tant pis
J'aurais quelques centimes
Chaque fois qu'on me fait du mal
Je serais plus riche encore
Que tout ce qui  fait si mal

Chacun  veut le plus possible
En donnant le minimum
Oui chacun  veut le plus possible
En donnant le minimum

Oui je ne sais pas beaucoup de choses
Mais je suis sûre de dire vrai
Nous donnons très peu de bon
Pour être débarrassé du mauvais
Nous aurions quelques centimes
Chaque fois qu'on nous fait du mal
Nous serions plus riche encore
Que tout ce qui fait si mal

Chacun veut le plus possible
En donnant le minimum
Oui, chacun veut le plus possible
En donnant le minimum

Lalala...
Pour quelques centimes
Je leur chante une chanson
Lalala...
Pour quelques centimes
Je leur chante une chanson
Lalala...

Cierta Historia De Amor
Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez



Yo era un muchacho tranquilo
Hasta que di con mi sueño más dorado
Que era una mujer algo mayor que yo
Ella tenía 35 y yo 18 para mi favor
(Favor dudoso)

Empezó por regalarme
Dos camisas y un vestido
Para que yo se los diera a mi mamá
A eso le siguió una lluvia de pequeños regalitos para mí
(Para mí entierro)

Hasta me froté las manos
Cuando supe que vivía sola
Desde que por fin se divorcio
Y en su casa hice meriendas, comidas y desayunos hasta engordar
(Casi reviento, como verán)

Lo tenía todo, y me puse ocioso
Me pasaba el día de la lectura al amor
¿Qué quiere mi dueño? ¿Qué quiere mi encanto?
Me decía con voz azucarada si me iba a mover

Mi amigos comentaban
Que yo si eran un bárbaro del diablo
Y la fama de conquistador nació
Las pepillas me buscaban, yo me pellizcaba el brazo para ver
(Si era soñando)

Aprendí, de un buen amigo
A pegarle a mi mujer
A llevar los pantalones, como es la tradición
Y ella iba a mi trabajo, para sorprenderme en algo ilegal
(Era normal)

Me di cuenta que las cosas
Ya no estaban es su sitio
Cuando me empezó a coser la ropa encima, al salir
Después vino la algazara, las denuncias y los llantos al dormir
(Y pasó el tiempo)

Decidí dejarla cuando una noche
Desperté y la vi que se lanzaba sobre mí
Con unas tijeras de podar sus matas
Mientras me juraba que no iba a ver a otra mujer jamás

Me puse las botas y salí corriendo
Entre amenazas que no puedo repetir
Me puse las botas y salí corriendo
Sin sueños dorados, pero a salvo el honor

Rembrandt
Performer(s): The Amazing Stroopwafels



Als nou bij Rembrandt, thuis in Leiden
Een home computer had gestaan
Hij kon al dat ploeteren vermijden
Hij deed gewoon het knopje aan
Zelf riep hij even uit de keuken
"Hee Hendrikje zet jij de zaak op print
Ik wil wel iets met licht en donker
Kijken wat m'n moeder daarvan vindt"

refrein:
Terwijl hij onderuitgezakt de krant las
Kreeg hij opeens een lumineus idee
"Hee Stoffels, mijn pantoffels die ik kwijt was
Die staan natuurlijk achter de TV"

Als nou bij Rembrandt, thuis in Leiden
De omroep belt: zeg kom eens mee
Dan kon hij praten in een panel
Over kunst en sport en WVC
Het stond onder leiding van Rien Poortvliet
En hoeveel was zijn uitkoopsom
En of hij zich wat vlot kon kleden
Want zo'n baretje staat zo dom

refrein

Als dan bij Rembrandt, thuis in Leiden
's Avonds de buis wordt aangezet
Ziet hij zich van de glijbaan glijden
Zo in een modderbad ballet
Ach, Rembrandt staat wat punten achter
Frans Hals; die wint de eerste prijs
Hij mag een wens doen
Hij roept smachtend
"Terug naar de Gouden Eeuw, een enkele reis!"

P.S.: hij woonde niet in Leiden
Hij was een keer verhuisd naar Amsterdam
Nee, Rembrandt was niet te benijden
Dat was toch jammer voor zo'n man

Nickel Song

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

Cierro mis ojos
Para que tú no sientas
Ningún miedo
Cierro mis ojos
Para escuchar tu voz diciendo amor
Para que digas hoy de verdad
Lo mucho que me quieres
Para que creas para que pienses
Que ni te escucho yo
Cierro mis ojos
Para que tú me quieras libremente
Para que tú me mires y no tiembles
Y puedas darme tu amor
Tal como es
Cierro mis ojos
Para que beses mis manos
Y mi frente
Para que corran tus dedos por mi piel
Yo no te veré, yo no te veré
Puedes hacer lo que quieras conmigo
No te miraré, no te miraré
Hasta que tú me lo pidas, amor

The Next Time I'm In Town 
Composer(s): Mark Knopfler
Performer(s): Chet Atkins & Mark Knopfler



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

Si tú supieras las ganas que tengo de estar contigo
para decirte mi triste alegría, mi pena y mi ensueño
para contarte cien mil cosas que llevo escondidas en el alma
para decirte que sufro y que gozo pensando en tu amor

Si tú supieras las ansias que tengo de hablarte muy quedo
para decirte la inmensa alegría que siento al mirarte
para decirte compendio de mi vida lo mucho que te quiero
para contarte una eterna verdad aunque tú no la creas

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

(Repeat Chorus)

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

Please release me, let me go
For I don't love you anymore
To live a lie would be a sin
Release me and let me love again

I have found a new love, dear
And I will always want her near
Her lips are warm where yours are cold
Release me, darling, let me go

The Newcastle Song
Performer(s): Bob Hudson



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
