and various other artists
There's a lotta things I want, a lotta things that I'd like to be But girl I don't foresee a rags to riches story for me There's just one little dream I've got to make come true There's just one round I've got to win, I can't be a loser with you
And baby, baby Just once in my life let me get what I want Girl, don't let me down Just once in my life let me hold on to The good thing I've found, don't let me down Baby, say that you'll be stayin'
'Cause I couldn't face the day if you weren't here by my side And if you went away then I'd be left without any pride I've given up on schemes 'cause every one fell through I've given up so many things, don't ask me to give up on you
And baby, baby Just once in my life let me get what I want Girl, don't let me down Just once in my life let me hold on to The good thing I've found, don't let me down Baby, say that you'll be stayin'
That old pot of gold ain't so easy to find But if you'll stand by me, girl, I'll keep peace of mind I can't give you the world but I will work hard for you, girl Yes, I'll work hard (everyday) all my life (you will see) If you won't leave me (baby, don't leave) Please don't leave me (oh no don't leave) Just do this for me, baby
Once in my life let me get what I want Girl, don't let me down Just once in my life let me hold on to The good thing I've found, don't let me down Baby, say that you'll be stayin' Hmm-mmm-hmm mmm-hmmm
Just once in my life let me get what I want Girl, don't let me down Just once in my life let me hold on to The good thing I've found, don't let me down Just once in my life let me get what I want Girl, don't let me down

Sweet Marie from gay Paree Came here to go upon the stage Sweet Marie a hit was she And soon became the public rage Every night it was a sight To see the Johnnies fall in line On bended knee you'd hear this please Oh sweet Marie come please be mine

Just Once Composer(s): Barry Mann; Cynthia Weil Performer(s): Sonny Rollins; and various other artists
I did my best But I guess my best wasn't good enough 'Cause here we are back where we were before Seems nothing ever changes We're back to being strangers Wondering if we oughta stay Or head on out the door
Just once can't we figure out what we keep doing wrong? Why we never last for very long What are we doing wrong? Just once can't we find a way to finally make it right? Make the magic last for more than just one night If we could just get to it I know we could break through it
I gave my all But I think my all may have been too much 'Cause Lord knows we're not getting anywhere Seems we're always blowing whatever we've got going And seems at times with all we've got We haven't got a prayer
Just once can't we figure out what we keep doing wrong? Why the good times never last for very long What are we doing wrong? Just once can't we find a way to finally make it right? And make the magic last for more than just one night If we could just get to it I know we could break through it
Just once I want to understand Why it always comes back to good-bye Why can't we get ourselves in hand? And admit to one another That we're no good without the other Take the best and make it better Find a way to stay together
Just once can't we find a way to finally make it right? Make the magic last for more than just one night I know we can break through it If we could just get to it

I love you so I love you more than my own life, and anyone Theres nothing else like loving you that I have found I love you so
Just My Imagination (Running Away With Me) Composer(s): Norman Whitfield - Barrett Strong First release by: The Temptations - 1971 Covered by multiple other artists
Each day through my window I watch her as she passes by I say to myself, "You're such a lucky guy" To have a girl like her is truly a dream come true Out of all the fellas in the world, she belongs to you But it was just my imagination Running away with me It was just my imagination Running away with me Soon we'll be married and raise a family A cozy little home, out in the country, with two children, maybe three I tell you I can visualize it all This couldn't be a dream, for too real it all seems But it was just my imagination, once again Running away with me Tell you, it was just my imagination Running away with me Every night, on my knees I pray "Dear lord, hear my plea Don't ever let another take her love from me Or I will surely die" Her love is heavenly When her arms enfold me I hear her tender rhapsody But in reality, she doesn't even know me It was just my imagination, once again Running away with me Oh, tell you, it was just my imagination Running away with me I never met her, but I can't forget her Just my imagination, yeah, yeah, yeah Running away with me Oooh, just my imagination Running away with me
Town Without Pity Composer(s): Dmitri Tiomkin - Ned Washington First release: Gene Pitney - 1961 Covered by multiple other artists
When you're young and so in love as we And bewildered by the world we see Why do people hurt us so Only those in love would know What a town without pity can do
If we stop to gaze upon a star People talk about how bad we are Ours is not an easy age We're like tigers in a cage What a town without pity can do
The young have problems, many problems We need an understanding heart Why don't they help us, try and help us Before this clay and granite planet falls apart
Take these eager lips and hold me fast I'm afraid this kind of joy can't last How can we keep love alive How can anything survive When these little minds tear you in two What a town without pity can do
How can we keep love alive How can anything survive When these little minds tear you in two What a town without pity can do
No, it isn't very pretty what a town without pity Ca-a-an do (... do)
One Night Of Love Composer(s): Joe Tate Performer(s): Karen Dalton
He gives me one night of love Sometimes he gives me two Hmm when I'm gone He don't even think my name It's got me down Down to the ground Looks like this whole world And my best friend got me down
I gave him all my money All of my good loving too Ah, when I'm gone He don't even mention my name It's got me down Down to the ground Looks like this whole world And my best friend got me down It's got me down
I'm just singing this song I wouldn't do anything wrong It's got me down I'm just telling the truth I can't show you no kind of proof It's got me down Got me down Down to the ground This whole world And my best friend got me down It's got me down
One night of love Gives me one night of love One night of love One night of love One night of love

Town Of Plenty Composer(s): Bernie Taupin - Elton John Performer(s): Elton John
I'll say it again this is not my city I don't belong looking for a town of plenty There weren't these thieves We had some thing in common Goals to achieve We had some thing in common In a town of plenty
Can't you see it, this is not my writing I only asked if this was a town of plenty There were many archives We had no media Only art survived there Yeah we had no media In a town of plenty
And laid across the airstrip Were the passports and the luggage All that once remained Of a rugged individual And laid across the airstrip Were the passports and the luggage I came looking for a town of plenty
I'll say it again, this is not my city I only asked if this was a town of plenty There were many archives We had no media Only art survived there Yeah we had no media In a town of plenty
I Love You Much Too Much Composer(s): Alexander Olshanetsky; Don Raye; Chaim Towber Performer(s): The Andrews Sisters and multiple other artists
I love you much too much Ive known it from the start But yet my love is such I cant control my heart
I love you much too much I ask myself what for Then, darling, when we touch Mmmm, I love you more

Just Married Composer(s): Al Allen; Barry de Vorzon Performer(s): Marty Robbins
Just married this mornin' How happy they are "Just Married" written on The window of their car It broke my heart To see them drive away I lost the one I love today
Dressed all in white satin White lace in her hair She looked so lovely It was more than I could bear Some people guessed the way that I felt They saw the tears I could not hide
I should have stayed at home I knew what was in store But somethin' made me come To see her just once more Just married this mornin' How happy they are "Just Married" written on The window of their car It broke my heart To see them drive away I lost the one I love today
I should have stayed at home I knew what was in store But somethin' made me come To see her just once more Just married this mornin' How happy they are "Just Married" written on The window of their car It broke my heart To see them drive away I lost the one I love today
Town Called Malice Composer(s): Paul Weller First release: The Jam - 1982
You'd better stop dreaming of the quiet life 'cos it's the one we'll never know And quit running for that runaway bus 'cos those rosey days are few And stop apologising for the things you've never done 'cos time is short and life is cruel, but it's up to us to change This town called malice
Rows and rows of disused milk floats stand dying in the dairy yard And a hundred lonely housewives clutch empty milk bottles to their hearts Hanging out their old love letters on the line to dry It's enough to make you stop believing when tears come fast and furious In a town called malice
Struggle after struggle, year after year The atmosphere's a fine blend of ice, I'm almost stone cold dead In a town called malice
A whole street's belief in Sunday's roast beef gets dashed against the Co-op To either cut down on beer or the kids new gear It's a big decision in a town called malice
The ghost of a steam train, echoes down my track It's at the moment bound for nowhere, just going round and round Playground kids and creaking swings, lost laughter in the breeze I could go on for hours and I probably will, but I'd sooner put some joy back In this town called malice
I Love You More Today Than Yesterday Composer(s): Pat Upton Performer(s): Spiral Staircase
I don't remember what day it was I didn't notice what time it was All I know is that I fell in love with you And if all my dreams come true I'll be spending time with you
Every day's a new day in love with you With each day comes a new way of loving you Every time I kiss your lips my mind starts to wander And if all my dreams come true I'll be spending time with you
Oh, I love you more today than yesterday But not as much as tomorrow I love you more today than yesterday But, darling, not as much as tomorrow
Tomorrow's date means springtime's just a day away Cupid, we don't need ya now, be on your way I thank the lord for love like ours that grows ever stronger And I always will be true I know you feel the same way too
Oh, I love you more today than yesterday But not as much as tomorrow I love you more today than yesterday But only half as much as tomorrow
Every day's a new day, every time I love ya Every way's a new way, every time I love ya Every day's a new day, oh, how I love ya
I could spend my life just loving you If you could learn to fall in love with me Though you don't know how much it hurts just loving you I'm not the laughing chld I used to be
Some starry night I pray that you will come to me And make all my wildest dreams come true So, 'til then I'll go on scheming Though I know I'm only dreaming I can't help myself just loving you
Some starry night I pray that you will come to me And make all my wildest dreams come true So, 'til then I'll go on scheming Though I know I'm only dreaming I can't help myself just loving you
Towers Of London Composer(s): Andy Partridge First release: XTC - 1980
Towers of London When they had built you Did you watch over the men who fell? Towers of London When they had built you Victoria's gem found in somebody's hell
Pavements of gold, leading to the underground Grenadier Guardsmen walking pretty ladies around Fog is the sweat of the never never navvies wWho pound pound pound pound pound Spikes in the rails to their very own heaven
Towers of London When they had built you Did you watch over the men who fell Towers of London When they had built you Victoria's gem found in somebody's hell
Bridges of muscles spanning so long and high Merchants from Stepney walking pretty ladies by Rain is the tears of the never never navvies who cry For the bridge that doesn't go in the direction of Dublin
Towers of London When they had built you Did you watch over the men who fell Towers of London When they had built you Victoria's gem found in somebody's hell
And I've seen it in a painting And I've seen it in engraving And I've seen it in their faces Clear as children's chalk lines on the paving
Towers of London When they had built you Did you watch over the men who fell Towers of London When they had built you Victoria's gem found in somebody's hell
Towers of London Towers of London Towers of London Towers of London
