I'll never smile again Until I smile at you I'll never laugh again What good would it do? For tears would fill my eyes My heart would realize That our romance is through

Ill Never Quite Get Over You Composer(s): Arnold; Christian Charles; Martin; David; Morrow; Geoffrey Stanton Performer(s): Billy Fury; Hep Stars
They say that Ill forget you soon That time can always heal the wound Id like to think theyre right But the way I feel tonight Ill never quite get over you
And its at moments such as this I think of how we used to kiss And even in the end If my broken heart should mend Ill never quite get over you
No other girl I meet Can make my life complete The way that you once used to do For love may come and go But in my heart I know Ill never quite get over you
You were so much a part of me That from now on I cant be free And as the days go by No matter how I try Ill never quite get over you
M.T.A. Composer(s): Bess Lomax Hawes; Jacqueline Steiner Performer(s): The Kingston Trio; Coyote Run
Now let me tell you of the story of a man named Charlie On a tragic and fateful day He put ten cents in his pocket, kissed his wife and family And went to ride on the M.T.A.
(chorus) Well did he ever return? No he never returned And his fate is still unlearned He may ride forever 'neath the streets of Boston He's the man who never returned
Charlie handed in his dime at the Kendell Square station And he changed for Jamaica Plain When he got there the conductor told him, "one more nickel" Charlie couldn't get off that train
(chorus)
Now all night long Charlie rides through the station Crying, "What will become of me? How can I afford to see my sister in Chelsea Or my cousin in Roxbury?"
(chorus)
Charlie's wife goes down to the Scolla Square station Every day at a quarter past two And through the open window she hands Charlie a sandwich As the train comes rumbling through
(chorus)
Now you citizens of Boston, don't you think it's a scandal How the people have to pay and pay? Fight the fare increase, vote for Walter O'Brien And get Charlie off the M.T.A.

(Millions Of People) No One Like You Composer(s): Pete Shelley Performer(s): Pete Shelley
Stupid things keep on happening Every single day When I fall in love It slips away Finding out was so hard to take There's no reason why When I phoned you up You said goodbye
You say love's dead and gone I just carry on What else can I do Maybe I don't know right from wrong Who knows who cares now What else can I do
Yesterday I kept wishing that You had changed your mind Now I guess that it's All up to you Am I just today another one That you've left behind Or did you love me With a love so true
I thought you and I were friends Still you made me cry What else can I do 'N' maybe love will find a way Give me one more try It's all up to you
How can you tell me that I must be dreaming You're waiting around I've got nothing to do So tired of waiting I've only one lifetime There's millions of people but no one like you
I thought you and I were friends Still you made me cry What else can I do 'N' maybe love will find a way Give me one more try It's all up to you
How can you tell me that I must be dreaming You're waiting around I've got nothing to do So tired of waiting I've only one lifetime There's millions of people but no one like you

(Marie's The Name Of) His Latest Flame French Title: Sa Grande Passion Composer(s): Doc Pomus; Mort Shuman Performer(s): Elvis Presley; and various other artists
A very old friend came by today 'Cause he was telling everyone in town About the love that he just found And Marie's the name of his latest flame
He talked and talked and I heard him say That she had the longest blackest hair The prettiest green eyes anywhere And Marie's the name of his latest flame
Though I smiled the tears inside were a-burning I wished him luck and then he said goodbye He was gone but still his words kept returning What else was there for me to do but cry
Would you believe that yesterday This girl was in my arms and swore to me She'd be mine eternally And Marie's the name of his latest flame
Though I smiled the tears inside were a-burning I wished him luck and then he said goodbye He was gone but still his words kept returning What else was there for me to do but cry
Would you believe that yesterday This girl was in my arms and swore to me She'd be mine eternally And Marie's the name of his latest flame
I'll Never Get Out Of This World Alive Composer(s): Fred Rose; Hank Williams First release by: Hank Williams - 1952 Covered by multiple other artists
Now you're lookin' at a man that's gettin' kind-a mad I had lot's of luck but it's all been bad No matter how I struggle and strive I'll never get out of this world alive
My fishin' pole's broke the creek is full of sand My woman run away with another man No matter how I struggle and strive I'll never get out of this world alive
A distant uncle passed away and left me quite a batch And I was livin' high until that fatal day A lawyer proved I wasn't born I was only hatched
Ev'rything's agin' me and it's got me down If I jumped in the river I would prob'ly drown No matter how I struggle and strive I'll never get out of this world alive
These shabby shoes I'm wearin' all the time Are full of holes and nails And brother if I stepped on a worn out dime I bet a nickel I could tell you if it was heads or tails
I'm not gonna worry wrinkles in my brow 'Cause nothin's ever gonna be alright nohow No matter how I struggle and strive I'll never get out of this world alive
I could buy a Sunday suit and it would leave me broke If it had two pair of pants I would burn the coat No matter how I struggle and strive I'll never get out of this world alive
If it was rainin' gold I wouldn't stand a chance I wouldn't have a pocket in my patched up pants No matter how I struggle and strive I'll never get out of this world alive
Tout est affaire de décor Changer de lit changer de corps A quoi bon puisque c'est encore Moi qui moi-même me trahis Moi qui me traîne et m'éparpille Et mon ombre se déshabille Dans les bras semblables des filles Où j'ai cru trouver un pays
Cur léger cur changeant cur lourd Le temps de rêver est bien court Que faut-il faire de mes jours Que faut-il faire de mes nuits Je n'avais amour ni demeure Nulle part où je vive ou meure Je passais comme la rumeur Je m'endormais comme le bruit
Est-ce ainsi que les hommes vivent Et leurs baisers au loin les suivent
C'était un temps déraisonnable On avait mis les morts à table On faisait des châteaux de sable On prenait les loups pour des chiens Tout changeait de pôle et d'épaule La pièce était-elle ou non drôle Moi si j'y tenais mal mon rôle C'était de n'y comprendre rien
Dans le quartier Hohenzollern Entre la Sarre et les casernes Comme les fleurs de la luzerne Fleurissaient les seins de Lola Elle avait un cur d'hirondelle Sur le canapé du bordel Je venais m'allonger près d'elle Dans les hoquets du pianola
Est-ce ainsi que les hommes vivent Et leurs baisers au loin les suivent
Le ciel était gris de nuages Il y volait des oies sauvages Qui criaient la mort au passage Au-dessus des maisons des quais Je les voyais par la fenêtre Leur chant triste entrait dans mon être Et je croyais y reconnaître Du Rainer Maria Rilke
Elle était brune elle était blanche Ses cheveux tombaient sur ses hanches Et la semaine et le dimanche Elle ouvrait à tous ses bras nus Elle avait des yeux de faïence Elle travaillait avec vaillance Pour un artilleur de Mayence Qui n'en est jamais revenu
Est-ce ainsi que les hommes vivent Et leurs baisers au loin les suivent
Il est d'autres soldats en ville Et la nuit montent les civils Remets du rimmel à tes cils Lola qui t'en iras bientôt Encore un verre de liqueur Ce fut en avril à cinq heures Au petit jour que dans ton cur Un dragon plongea son couteau
Est-ce ainsi que les hommes vivent Et leurs baisers au loin les suivent
I'll Never Forget You Composer(s): P. Hart; G. Lesley Performer(s): David Whitfield
I'll never forget you, come what may I'm glad that I met you, every day With spring to remember When December is here I'll never forget you, dearest dear
With spring to remember When December is here I'll never forget you, dearest dear
Estas Manos Composer(s): Facundo Cabral Performer(s): Facundo Cabral
Estas manos arrancaron las espinas De la flor que te gustaba Para que no lastimara a tu mano Estas manos Y en un verano un momento cualquiera Y tirados en la arena Con tu boca se encontraron Estas manos, estas manos Estas manos con las tuyas levantaron Una casa en la playa Toda besos y ventanas Estas manos, estas manos Estas manos a la tierra trabajaron Y pelearon y gritaron Por el pan de mis hermanos Estas manos, estas manos Estas manos las que alzaron nuestro niño Hoy callaron y lloraron Cuando aquellas otras manos Te besaron, estas manos Estas manos de que sirven, estas manos Si las tuyas no alcanzaron Justo ahora que duramos Estas manos, estas manos Pero un dia estoy seguro O quizas ahora mismo Estas manos tendran ojos Para ver que aun vivimos Por amor a lo que amamos Estas manos Y en honor a tu recuerdo Extendiendo largo el brazo Llegare con este canto Tan delante de mi mismo Que voy a alcanzar tu espalda Aunque tengas otra cara Y otro nombre y otras manos Porque la vida no es solo Lo que tocan nuestras manos Estas manos, estas manos
I'll Never Find Another You (French Version: Je N'en Veux Pas D'autre Que Toi - 1965) Composer(s): Tom Springfield First release by: The Seekers - 1964 Covered by multiple other artists
There's a new world somewhere They call The Promised Land And I'll be there some day If you will hold my hand I still need you there beside me No matter what I do For I know I'll never find another you
There is always someone For each of us they say And you'll be my someone For ever and a day I could search the whole world over Until my life is through But I know I'll never find another you
It's a long, long journey So stay by my side When I walk through the storm You'll be my guide, be my guide
If they gave me a fortune My treasure would be small I could lose it all tomorrow And never mind at all But if I should lose your love, dear I don't know what I'll do For I know I'll never find another you
But if I should lose your love, dear I don't know what I'll do For I know I'll never find another you
Estás Listo Composer(s): P. Raffo - A. Lucas Performer(s): Juan Carlos Baglietto
Es el momento de salir a escena no busques más disfraces Estás tramando algo que los sorprenda pero no sirve el traje Vas a cambiar de nuevo el decorado el monitor, alguna gelatina pero esta gente viene por tu vida y no tenés que darle Es tu puñado de palabras simples cuatro frases brillantes estás fumando, tomando cerveza y disfrutando el viaje Vas a cambiar el orden de los temas y regalar una triste sonrisa pero esta gente pagó por tu vida y no tenés que darle Pibe, estás listo para salir a la arena te encandilaron el brillo y los flashes aunque, está claro, no sos de esa clase Tenés respuestas lúcidas a todo decís que sos un chico de la calle Igual estás haciendo, a tu modo el mismo juego que vos criticaste ... Pibe! Estás listo! Todo está listo, como de costumbre ahora vas a encontrarte Estás tomando algo que te sostenga un trapecista cobarde Vas a afinar de nuevo el instrumento pedir ayuda, mirar al costado pero esta gente viene por tu vida y no tenés que darle Y no tenés, y no tenés que darle Y no tenés, y no tenés ...
Je N'en Veux Pas D'autre Que Toi (Adapted from: I'll Never Find Another You - 1964) Composer(s): Tom Springfield; Jacques Plante; Claude Carrère Performer(s): Sheila - 1965
Loin de moi, tu t'ennuies et tu as peur parfois Que l'absence et le temps n'effacent toutes nos joies S'il t'arrive le soir de penser que je vais t'oublier Sois tranquille, je n'en veux pas d'autre que toi
Oui, c'est vrai les garçons qui tournent autour de moi Essayent bien quelquefois de m'éloigner de toi Mais tu vois, ça ne sert à rien car mon coeur t'appartient Sois tranquille, je n'en veux pas d'autre que toi
Ce qu'ils ont à m'offrir ne m'intéresse pas Je préfère, oui plus tard, tout découvrir avec toi
Si nous sommes aujourd'hui tous les deux séparés C'est toi seul, toi seul que j'attends pour être à mes côtés Pour avoir enfin le bonheur et pour vivre avec moi Sois tranquille, je n'en veux pas d'autre que toi D'autre que toi D'autre que toi
