The Night I Appeared As Macbeth
Composer(s): William Hargreaves
Performer(s): Ian Whitcomb



T'was through a Y.M.C.A concert
I craved a desire for the stage
In Flanders one night I was asked to recite
Gadzooks I was quickly the rage
They said I was better than Irving
And gave me some biscuits and tea
I know its not union wages
But that was the usual fee
Home I came - bought a dress
Appeared in your Theatre and what a success

I acted so tragic the house rose like magic
The audience yelled "You're sublime"
They made me a present of Mornington Crescent
They threw it a brick at a time
Someone threw a fender which caught me a bender
I hoisted a white flag and tried to surrender
They jeered me, they queered me
And half of them stoned me to death
They threw nuts and sultanas, fried eggs and bananas
The night I appeared as Macbeth

The play tho' ascribed to Bill Shakespeare
To me lacked both polish and tone
So I put bits in from Miss Elinor Glyn
Nat Gould, and some bits of my own
The band played the Barber of Seville
And being too long they made cuts
When I entered somewhere in Scotland
And finished in Newington Butts
Oh, the flowers - what a feast
They threw it in bagfulls, self raising and yeast

I acted so tragic the house rose like magic
I improved the part with a dance
The pit had a relapse, so R.A.M.C. chaps
Were wired for to come back from France
I withdrew my sabre and started to labour
Cried "Lay on MacDuff" to my neighbour
I hollared, "I'm collared
I must reach the bridge or its death"
But they altered my journey, I reached the infirm'ry
The night I appeared in Macbeth

The advertised time for the curtain
Was six forty-five on the sheet
The hall keeper he having mislaid the key
We played the first act in the street
Then somebody called for the author
"He's dead " said the flute player's wife
The news caused an awful commotion
And gave me the shock of my life
Shakespeare dead - poor old Bill
Why I never knew the poor fellow was ill

I acted so tragic the house rose like magic
They wished David Garrick could see
But he's in the Abbey, then someone quite shabby
Suggested that's where I should be
Lloyd George and Clemenceau, they both carried on
So the King of the Belgians rushed in with Alfonso
They pleaded - unheeded
And all of them cried in one breath
"There's another war coming if you don't stop humming"
The night I appeared in Macbeth

I acted so tragic the house rose like magic
I gave them such wonderful thrills
My tender emotion caused such a commotion
The dress circle made out their wills
The gallery boys straining, dropped tears uncomplaining
The pit put umbrellas up, thought it was raining
Some floated - some boated
And five of the band met their death
And the poor programme women
Sold programmes while swimming
The night I appeared as Macbeth

Ce soir en te voyant notre passé
Soudain s'ést réveillé
Remember c'était loin
J'oubliais je me souviens
Devant le vieux café
Tu dessinais je me suis approchée
Remember c'était loin
Tu m'as dit je t'attendais
Alors je t'ai suivi
Sans parler
J'ai retrouvé tes nuits, et

Ce soir dans ton regard je m'aperçois
Qu'il n'est jamais trop tard
Remember
C'était loin
J'oubliais je me souviens

Ta voix
Enfin tu es là
N 'a pas changé
Je suis heureux tu sais
J'ai l'impression
Regarde
Qu'on ne s'est pas quitté
C'est aussi beau que l'an dernier
Elle me dit
Remember

J'oubliais je me souviens

Ce soir dans ton regard notre passé
Soudain s'est réveillé
Remember, remember
J'oubliais je me souviens

The Night Has A Thousand Eyes
Composer(s): Bernier - Brainin
Performer(s): Anne Shelton



Don’t whisper things to me you don’t mean
For words deep down inside can be seen by the night
The night has a thousand eyes
And it knows the truth apart from one that lies

The romance may have cooled in the past
My love for you will be everlasting and bright
As bright as a starlit sky
And the wondrous night that has a thousand eyes

I’ve lived my life walking through a dream
For I knew that I would find this moment supreme
A night of bliss and tender sighs
And the smiling down of a thousand eyes

A night of bliss and tender sighs
And the smiling down of a thousand eyes
The night has a thousand eyes

Cimetières Militaires
Composer(s): Pierre Louki - J. Bernard
Performer(s): Juliette Gréco



Les cimetières militaires
Pardon Monsieur le surveillant
Les cimetières, pourquoi le taire
Militaires sont accueillants
Quels que soient le vent, les nuages
Les fleurs y poussent fraîches toujours
Poussent dessus la fleur de l’âge
La fleur de l’âge des tambours

Les cimetières militaires
Pardon Monsieur le lieutenant
Les cimetières, pourquoi le taire
Militaires sont avenants
Les allées sont larges et sûres
On y trouve silence et paix
La gazon y est sans blessure
Et la visite à peu de frais

Les cimetières militaires
Pardon Monsieur le combattant
Les cimetières, pourquoi le taire
Militaires sont déroulants
Et le vieux gardien qui arrose
Les roses vivant à ses pieds
Dit que ce n’est pas toujours rose
Que de vivre au pied des troupiers

Les cimetières militaires
Pardon Monsieur le revenant
Les cimetières, pourquoi le taire
Militaires sont inconvenants
On dira que je suis coupable
On me traînera dans la boue
De la Normandie en Champagne
Mais tant pis j’irai jusqu’au bout

Les cimetières militaires
Pardon Messieurs les braves gens
Dessous leur terre cachent mes frères
Braves gens soyez indulgents

Seems like the other day
My baby, he went away
He went away across the sea

It's been two years ago
That's when my baby go
That's when this letter it came to me

He said that we were through
He'd found somebody new
Oooh, let me think
Oooh, let me think
What can I do?

Oh no
Oh no
Oh no no no no no
Walking in the sand
Walking hand in hand
The night was so exciting
His lips were so inviting

Whatever happened to
The boy that I once knew
The boy who said he'd be true
What will happen to
The life I gave to you
What will I do with my heart now

(Remember) walking in the sand
(Remember) walking hand in hand

The Night Comes Down
Composer(s): Brian May
Performer(s): Queen



When I was young it came to me
And I could see the sun breakin'
Lucy was high and so was I dazzling
Holding the world inside
Once I believed in everyone
Everyone and anyone can see

Oh oh the night comes down
And I get afraid of losing my way
Oh oh the night comes down
Oooh and it's dark again

Once I could laugh with everyone
Once I could see the good in me
The black and the white distinctively colouring
Holding the world inside
Now all the world is grey to me
Nobody can see - you gotta believe it

Oh (oh) oh (oh) the night comes down
And I get afraid of losing my way
Oh oh the night comes down
Oooh and it's dark again
And it's dark again
And it's dark again

Remember
Composer(s): Irving Berlin
Performer(s): Benny Goodman;
and various other artists



One little kiss, a moment of bliss 
then hours of deep regret
One little smile, and after a while, a longing to forget
One little heartache left as a token
One little plaything carelessly broken

Remember the night
The night you said, "I love you"
Remember?

Remember you vowed
By all the stars above you
Remember?

Remember we found a lonely spot
And after I learned to care a lot

You promised that you'd forget me not
But you forgot
To remember

Into my dreams you wandered it seems, and then there came a day
You loved me too, my dreams had come true, and all the world was May
But soon the maytime turned to december
You had forgotten, do you remember?

The Night Chicago Died
Composer(s): Peter Callander - Mitch Murray
First release by: Paper Lace - 1974
Covered by multiple other artists



My daddy was a cop on the east side of Chicago
Back in the U.S.A. back in the bad old days

In the heat of a summer night
In the land of the dollar bill
When the town of Chicago died
And they talk about it still
When a man named Al Capone
Tried to make that town his own
And he called his gang to war
With the forces of the law

I heard my mama cry
I heard her pray the night Chicago died
Brother what a night it really was
Brother what a fight it really was
Glory be!
I heard my mama cry
I heard her pray the night Chicago died
Brother what a night the people saw
Brother what a fight the people saw
Yes indeed!

And the sound of the battle rang
Through the streets of the old east side
'Til the last of the hoodlum gang
Had surrendered up or died
There was shouting in the street
And the sound of running feet
And I asked someone who said
"'Bout a hundred cops are dead!"

I heard my mama cry
I heard her pray the night Chicago died
Brother what a night it really was
Brother what a fight it really was
Glory be!
I heard my mama cry
I heard her pray the night Chicago died
Brother what a night the people saw
Brother what a fight the people saw
Yes indeed!

And ther was no sound at all
But the clock upon the wall
Then the door burst open wide
And my daddy stepped inside
And he kissed my mama's face
And he brushed her tears away

The night Chicago died
Na-na na, na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na
The night Chicago died
Brother what a night the people saw
Brother what a fight the people saw
Yes indeed!

The night Chicago died
Na-na na, na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na
The night Chicago died
Brother what a night it really was
Brother what a fight it really was
Glory be!

The night Chicago died
Na-na na, na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na
The night Chicago died
Brother what a night the people saw
Brother what a fight the people saw
Yes indeed!

Cigarette Of A Single Man
Composer(s): Chris Difford - Glenn Tilbrook
Performer(s): Squeeze



The cigarette of a single man
Burns in the ashtray by his bed
He pulls the ring of another can
And holds it up beside his head
The book he reads is on the floor
He’s read it several times before
What you got to go home to?

The cigarette of a single man
Sits in the ashtray on the bar
He sits and sifts through several plans
But knows alone he won’t go far
He needs the love another has
To help him, if another can

The cigarette of a single man
Lays in the gutter by his side
Now he’s one of those little lambs
Who strayed too far from the flock to find
He’s better off without the grief
That people wear between their teeth

And in his mouth as he’s asleep
The cigarette of a single man

Remember
Composer(s): Anthony Newley
Performer(s): Anthony Newley



I wonder where you are tonight
And who'll be there when you turn out the light
Will he pull you close and hold you tight
The way that I did

I live in this bed of tears
That we shed throughout the golden years
Will he brush away your secret fears
The way that I did

Is it just a stranger, just another fool
Someone you can use the way you sometimes do
Or is it someone in your arms who can break your life in two
Take you to the highest high and make you feel brand new
The way that I did

I wonder what is in your eyes
Are they full of happiness and smiles
Or does he just make you cry
The way that I did

Is it just a stranger, just another fool
Someone you can use the way you sometimes do
Or is it someone in your arms who can break your life in two
Take you to the highest high and make you feel brand new
The way that I did

I wonder where you are tonight
And who'll be there when you turn out the light
Will he pull you close and hold you tight
The way that I did

Is it just a stranger, just another fool
Someone you can use the way you sometimes do
Or is it someone in your arms who can break your life in two
Take you to the highest high and make you feel brand new
The way that I did

The way that I did

The way that I did

The way that I did

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, 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..."

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

Pour quelques centimes
Je leur chante une chanson

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

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
Composer(s): Ana Magdalena - Manuel Alejandro
Performer(s): Raphael; Lorenzo de Monteclaro; Coral Chavez



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
