There's a place where lovers go To cry their troubles away And they call it Lonesome Town Where the broken hearts stay
You can buy a dream or two To last you all through the years And the only price you pay Is a heart full of tears
Goin' down to Lonesome Town Where the broken hearts stay Goin' down to Lonesome Town To cry my troubles away
In the town of broken dreams The streets are filled with regret Maybe down in Lonesome Town I can learn to forget Maybe down in Lonesome Town I can learn to forget

Take your time and tell me Where you lie I realise That we've been found out this time
We should stay together If we can But what you've planned Means there's a difference between
What you're gonna say In private You still want my love We're in this together And what you're gonna do In public Say you were never in love That you can remember
So discreet I never tried to meet Your friends or interfere I took a back seat between
And what you gonna say In private? You still want my love We're in this together And what you're gonna do In public Say you were never in love That you can remember
What you gonna say, ay When you run back to your wife? I guess it's just the story of my life What you gonna say?
So take your time And tell me Where did you learn Oh, I may publicise That there's a difference between
What you're gonna say In private? You still want my love We're in this together And what you're gonna do In public Say you were never in love That you can remember Tell me what you gonna say In private?, ooh, ooh, ooh What you gonna say? What you gonna do? Baby, what you gonna say?

Je connais un coin de rue Où l'on va jeter son cur Quand le pauvre ne sait plus Que répandre ses pleurs
Et malheur à tous ceux-là Qui n'osent pas le jeter Ils reviennent sur leurs pas Avec un cur usé
Dans la rue des curs perdus Ce soir c'est à mon tour Dans la rue des curs perdus D'aller pleurer mon amour
Mais j'ai peur et n'ose pas Jeter ce cur qui t'aimait Car peut-être un jour, qui sait? J'en aurai du regret
Car peut-être un jour, qui sait? J'en aurai du regret
In A Party Mood Composer(s): Jack Strachey; Russell Davies Performer(s): Charles Williams Orch. and multiple other artists
Darn the socks and wash the clocks and polish up the letter box And ask the doctor come and look at Tommy It's honestly enough to drive you barmy 'Specially when you husbands in the army - barmy
Feed the cat and beat the mat and write a note to Auntie Pat To thank her very kindly for the mincer She sent it all the ruddy way from Windsor Shame we've 'ad a mincer since before the war
So who would be a housewife, it's lower than a mouse life It's enough to make you run away to sea The world is not my oyster I'm living in a cloister I'm unable to be me
Free to put me feet up, and turn the blessed heat up Well I tell you ladies, that will be the day The weather's always freezing, I've done my flaming knees in Putting polish on the parlour parquet
Queue for ages in the street, to try to buy a piece of meat To give the kids a little treat for dinner When all I'll probably get from Mr Skinner Is something like a nasty tin of pilchards liver
What's the latest fashion look, and where 've I put me ration book Perhaps I should be rash and cook me pancake The tea's about the only thing I can make I'm sure I've drunk enough of the stuff to drop down dead
What a relief to turn the wireless on
On at just after nine There's a favourite of mine It's a beautiful, musical revelry You can hear the latest thing recorded by Crosby Or that fairy sugar dancing thing by Tchaikovsky
There's a song about flees And another called "Trees" And there's Victor Sylvester and Webster Booth So now if you've a favourite voice From Bing to the Piano Boys Just send a request into Housewives Choice
Now at forty years have passed and still we're in the kitchen singing
Put the washing on to spin and get some avacados in And marinade the meat to make it tender And don't forget today you've got to send a rather stroppy letter to the blender mender
Pick the boys up after school and drop them at the swimming pool And feed them up to turn them into he-men Do everything but actually be men That's the life you lead if you're a housewife
Help the baby count his toes, untangle all your pantyhose Send your auntie Maud a rose and wash your hands and blow your nose Chop some wood and make a fire mend a fuse and patch a tyre Join the local ladies choir find yourself the time to buy a hat And that's that
Lonesome Tears In My Eyes Composer(s): Henry Jerome - Johnny Burnette - David Burlison - Dorsey Burnette First release by: The Johnny Burnette Rock 'n' Roll Trio - 1956 Covered by multiple other artists
Oh baby, baby, baby blues and sorrow and I love you tomorrow just suit you just fine Oh baby, baby, baby blues and sorrow and I love you tomorrow just suit you just fine
I can't forget that you told me so many promising lies How must I forget these lonesome tears in my eyes?
You've broken my heart gonna do it again And I can't forget the spell that I'm in Can't forget that you told me so many promising lies I'm a-trying to forget these lonesome tears in my eyes
You've broken my heart gonna do it again I can't forget the spell that I'm in I can't forget that you told me so many promising lies I'm a-trying to forget these lonesome tears in my eyes Oh baby, baby, baby blues and sorrow And I love you tomorrow it'll suit you just fine Oh baby, baby, baby blues and sorrow I love you tomorrow just suit you just fine
I can't forget that you told me so many promising lies I'm a-trying to forget these lonesome tears in my eyes
Lonesome Suzie Composer(s): Richard Manuel First release by: The Band - 1968
Lonesome Suzie, never got the breaks She's always losing so she sits and cries and shakes It's so hard just to watch her, and if I touch her Oh, poor Suzie, I'm wondrin' what to do
She just sits there, hoping for a friend I don't fit here, but I may have a friend to lend Maybe I mistook her, but I can't overlook her Must be someone who can pull her through
Anyone who's felt that bad could tell me what to say Even if she'd just get mad, she might be better off that way And where is all the understanding Her problems can't be that demanding Why is it she looks that way Every time she starts to cry?
Lonesome Suzie, I can't watch you cry no longer If you can use me until you feel a little stronger I guess just watching you has made me lonesome too Why don't we get together What else can we do?
In Oktober Performer(s): Ramses Shaffy & Liesbeth List
In oktober kwamen wij, in een storm, elkander tegen Onze liefde bloeide bij mist en hagel, wind en regen Want het hart maalt om geen enkel seizoen Wat moet een hart, wat moet een hart, met lente doen? Januari of april, het doet wat het wil want het houdt geen kalender bij, dat hart van mij
In een koude winterstad woonden w'in elkanders armen, in een huis van liefde dat onze lichamen verwarmde. Want het hart maalt om geen enkel seizoen. Wat moet een hart, wat moet een hart, met lente doen? Januari of april, het doet wat het wil want het houdt geen kalender bij, dat hart van mij
Onze liefde is voorbij, zoals dat soms kan gebeuren ook al is nu de maand mei vol van vogels en van kleuren De junihemel ziet wel blauw en de zon schijnt op het koren maar ik huiver van de kou en mijn hart is als bevroren Want het hart maalt om geen enkel seizoen Wat moet een hart, wat moet een hart, met lente doen? Januari of april, het doet wat het wil want het houdt geen kalender bij, dat hart van mij

In Napoli Composer(s): Danny DiMinno; Carmen Lombardo Performer(s): Dean Martin
In Napoli beside the sea It happened on a night like this In Napoli our hearts were free And we surrendered to a kiss
There 'neath the stars I saw heaven in her eyes There 'neath the stars I knew this was paradise All through the night in sweet delight We shared the tenderness of love But with the dawn my love was gone Just like the fading stars above My lonely heart cries out please come back to me Beside the sea in dear old Napoli

En morgen zeg je, klaag je met een stem zo zacht Dat leven zonder mij geen leven is Kom, vlucht nu uit die donkere nacht Naar 't licht ver van die duisternis In naam van onze liefde In naam van onze liefde Vergeet van nu af aan je vroeger leed en pijn Je neemt en krijgt de kans 't geluk nu te beleven Kom laat ons dan gelukkig zijn In naam van onze liefde In naam van onze liefde
