Nevertheless (I'm In Love With You) Composer(s): Harry Ruby; Bert Kalmar Performer(s): Frank Sinatra; and various other artists
I knew the time had to come When I'd be held under your thumb I'm like a pawn in your hand Moved and compelled, at your command Whether it's for bad or for good I would never change it if I could
Maybe I'm right, maybe I'm wrong Maybe I'm weak, maybe I'm strong But nevertheless I'm in love with you Maybe I'll win, maybe I'll lose And maybe I'm in for crying the blues But nevertheless I'm in love with you
Somehow, I know at a glance, the terrible chances I'm taking Fine at the start, then left with a heart that is breaking
Maybe I'll live a life of regret, and maybe I'll give much more than I get But nevertheless, I'm in love with you
In spite of all I could do I went ahead falling for you So if I laugh or I cry I made my bed, that's where I'll lie For what happens there's no excuse I put my own head in the noose
Interdit Au Moins De Treize Ans Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday
Quand tu marches dans la rue les garçons se retournent Malgré leur jeune âge ils ont déjà envie de toi Tu sais qu'on devrait t'interdire Comme un film au moins de treize ans
Tes cheveux qui dansent, tes jambes et tes belles dents Tes seins et tes hanchent font rêver tous les garçons Tu sais qu'on devrait t'interdire Comme un film au moins de treize ans
Mais les garçons n'ont pas le droit De voir ce que moi Je vais faire ce soir avec toi Et quand j'étais petit garçon Je rêvais comme eux D'une fille comme toi dans mes bras
Quand tu marches dans la rue les hommes se retournent À n'importe quel âge ils ont toujours envie de toi Tu sais qu'on devrait t'interdire Comme un film au moins de treize ans
Mais les hommes savent très bien Ce que toi et moi Nous ferons ce soir dans nos draps Ils ne sont plus petit garçon Et ils rêvent tous D'une fille comme toi dans leurs bras
Tes deux seins sous ton maillot comme de jolies formes Tes deux longues cuisses empêchent de dormir les hommes Ouais, quand tu marches dans la rue les hommes se retournent Malgré ton jeune âge ils ont déjà envie de toi Ouais, malgré ton jeune âge ils ont déjà envie de toi

I'd like to run away from you but if you never found me I would die I'd like to break the chains you put around me but I know I never will You stay away and all I do is wonder why the hell I wait for you But when did common sense prevail for lovers when we know it never will Impossible to live with you but I know, I could never live without you For whatever you do I never, never, never want to be in love with anyone but you
You never treat me like you should, so what's the good of loving as I do? Although you always laugh at love, nothing else would be good enough for you Impossible to live with you, but I know, I could never live without you For whatever you do I never, never, never want to be in love with anyone but you
You make me laugh, you make me cry, you make me live, you make me die for you You make me sing, you make me sad, you make me glad, you make me mad for you
I love you, hate you, love you, hate you But I'll want you till the world stops turning For whatever you do I never, never, never want to be in love with anyone but you I love you, hate you, love you, hate you
But I'll want you till the world stops turning For whatever you do I never, never, never want to be in love with anyone but you I love you, hate you, love you, hate you
But I'll want you till the world stops turning For whatever you do I never, never, never want to be in love with anyone but you
Instinction Composer(s): Gary Kemp Performer(s): Spandau Ballet; Hadley, Norman & Keeble
Cheap bed, in the red sleep the words out of your head cold floor, nice and raw eat the meat that's on the floor high tide, some disguise loving makes the cream taste nice new shore, final score fresh demand, I'm wanting more this might not last too long so always take it this might not last too long so always take it Reasons, reasons were here from the start it's my instiction, its' my instiction reasons, reasons are part of the art it's my instiction, it's my instiction you cry, justify but deep beneath the feelings lie photo, looking old memory makes the day feel cold they've gone, sing your song walk the flow, ah, too slow post boom,second doom stealing cake to eat the moon this might not last too long so always take it Reasons, reasons were here from the start this might not last too long so always take it Reasons, reasons were here from the start it's my instiction, its' my instiction reasons, reasons are part of the art it's my instiction, it's my instiction stealing cake to eat the moon
If you have known only tears of sorrow And you cry out for a glad tomorrow Then never turn back Never turn back again
Your trust in man May have once been shaken But faith in man Must not be forsaken So never turn back Never turn back again
Look up in the sky Hold your head up high And make a wish on a star or a ball
If you have hope in your heart Time will heal every scar And soon you'll know laughter and love
Though now you walk Empty dreams inside you Have faith, have faith And your heart will guide you And never turn back You'll never turn back Never, no, never turn back
Instinct For Survival Composer(s): Jim Glaser Performer(s): Skeeter Davis
Believe me I ain't sayin' this just to hurt your pride But I can live without you without breaking up inside I just can't stay here with you now the way you're doing me wrong Guess my instinct for survival is a little too strong a little too strong
It's hard for me to understand just what you're searchin' for And why the touch that thrilled you doesn't move you anymore You're like the friends you're runnin' with and I just don't belong Guess my instinct for survival is a little too strong a little too strong
There's something deep inside of me that's begging me to leave And I can't stop this feeling without killing part of me
If I sound cold and uncaring well I don't mean to be You know the love I have for you is such a part of me But before I'll let you ruin my life I'll pack up and be gone Guess my instinct for survival is a little too strong a little too strong
Never Trust A Stranger Composer(s): Toy Caldwell Performer(s): The Marshall Tucker Band
We were ridin' through the flatlands We were searchin' for two prisoners Who just broke jail Tall one and a lean one Rode a chestnut stallion And the word was from the main man He was mean as hell An outlaw is a man who never understands A word called danger He learns to shoot and ride as a child And never trust a stranger And he's always called a better man We chased him to the border All the way to El Paso The ride was long the ride was hard But the sheriff said "we can't let him go" He said "let me tell you somethin'" "I been trackin' for a long time" They never trust a stranger And they take care of their own An outlaw is a man who never understands A word called danger He learns to shoot and ride as a child And never trust a stranger And he's always called a better man Today's man is an outlaw On that long road to freedom You work him hard you take his pride And then you try to cheat him Then one day you figure out it's a long,long story An outlaw is a man that takes care of his own An outlaw is a man who never understands A word called danger He learns to shoot and ride as a child And never trust a stranger And he's always called a better man Never trust a stranger Never trust a stranger Never trust a stranger
Instantáneas de la calle veo una separación, un choque un estallido, una universidad viven haciendo las pases hay un chico que se escapa un toro, una señora, un cielo, un capitán y yo sigo con vos sabés se hace difícil seguir anclado aquí sin tu amor Instantáneas de la calle hay dos tipos en la esquina uno hace una seña, el otro que se va hace frío en Buenos Aires música en los automóviles caen del walkman gotas de humedad y yo sigo con vos sabés se hace difícil seguir anclado aquí sin tu amor Ya sé, siempre soy yo andar siempre buscando y siempre volviendo a tu corazón y pienso que estamos al borde al borde de un cielo sin sol después no hay retorno ni tiempo mi amor y el circo se va de la city y Olmedo se ríe de todo después no hay retorno ni tiempo mi amor
Never Too Much Composer(s): Luther Vandross Performer(s): Luther Vandross; and various other artists
I can't fool myself, I don't want nobody else to ever love me You are my shinin' star, my guiding light, my love fantasy There's not a minute, hour, day or night that I don't love you You're at the top of my list 'cause I'm always thinkin' of you
I still remember in the days when I scared to touch you How I spent my day dreamin' plannin' how to say I love you You must have known that I had feelings deep enough to swim in That's when you opened up your heart and you told me to come in
Oh, my love A thousand kisses from you is never too much I just don't wanna stop
Oh, my love A million days in your arms is never too much I just don't wanna stop
Too much, never too much, never too much, never too much
Woke up today, looked at your picture just to get me started I called you up, but you weren't there and I was broken hearted Hung up the phone, can't be too late, the boss is so demandin' Opened the door up and to my surprise there you were standin'
Well, who needs to go to work to hustle for another dollar I'd rather be with you 'cause you make my heart scream and holler Love is a gamble and I'm so glad that I'm winnin' We've come a long way and yet this is only the beginnin'
Oh, my love A thousand kisses from you is never too much (Never too much, never too much, never too much) I just don't wanna stop
Oh, my love A million days in your arms is never too much (Never too much, never too much, never too much) And I just don't wanna stop
Oh, my love A thousand kisses from you is never (Never too much, never too much, never too much) I just don't wanna stop
Oh, my love A million days in your arms is never too much
Instants De Trêve Composer(s): Yves Duteil Performer(s): Yves Duteil
Ton univers se penche au bord de ma misère Et ton regard s'éclaire en rencontrant le mien Je voudrais que ça dure encore un millénaire C'est comme une oasis au milieu du chagrin
Je voudrais boire encore à cette source fraîche Sentir couler ta voix dans le creux de mon cur Éprouver du bonheur, avoir la gorge sèche En caressant tes seins comme on touche une fleur
Poser sur tes cheveux des paillettes de lune Et diriger mes doigts par des chemins cachés Qui s'effacent en s'ouvrant comme sable de dunes Vers une plage offerte en perles de rosée
Croquer de ton jardin tous les fruits de tendresse Sur ta peau qui frissonne au fil de mes baisers Y goûter la folie qui mène à la sagesse Et cueillir un soleil qui passe à ma portée
Je voudrais croire encore à ces instants de trêve Où plus rien du dehors ne peut nous arriver Quand nos regards se perdent au plus profond du rêve Que nos heures se confondent avec l'éternité
Oublier quelque temps l'ombre de la tristesse Pendant que le bonheur s'endort à nos côtés Bercés par la douceur du vent qui nous caresse Perdus dans la langueur d'un infini baiser
Berçés par la douceur du vent qui nous caresse Perdus dans la langueur d'un infini baiser
Never Thought You'd Leave Me Composer(s): Dave Leone Performer(s): The Pleasure Seekers and various other artists
Never, never thought you'd leave-a me baby Never thought you'd leave me alone A dream of mine and many other other guys The minute you tell 'em you're gone The minute you tell 'em you're gone
I see that you lied, you put the hurt on me And really, really did me wrong Now that I see what you done to me I just sit here by the phone Sittin' here by the phone
(Instrumental Break)
I tried to block you out like a bad dream baby Like blocking out the sun in the day The clouds have past, but the light's too bad And I think of you night and day Think of you night and day
Never, never thought you'd leave-a me baby Never thought you'd leave me alone A dream of mine and many other guys The minute you tell 'em you're gone The minute you tell 'em you're gone The minute you tell 'em you're..... Go on home Baby, you know I wan't you so much You lied to me, but I don't care Baby I love you so much

Never Smile At A Crocodile Composer(s): Frank Churchill; Jack Lawrence Performer(s): Paulette Sisters; and various other artists
Never smile at a crocodile No, you can't get friendly with a crocodile Don't be taken in by his welcome grin He's imagining how well you'd fit within his skin
Never smile at a crocodile Never dip your hat and stop to talk awhile Never run, walk away, say good-night, not good-day Clear the aisle, but never smile at Mister Crocodile
You may very well be well bred Lot's of etiquette in your head But there's always some special case, time or place To forget etiquette.......... For instance
Never smile at a crocodile No, you can't get friendly with a crocodile Don't be taken in by his welcome grin He's imagining how well you'd fit within his skin
Never smile at a crocodile Never dip your hat and stop to talk awhile Never run, walk away, say good-night, not good-day Clear the aisle, but never smile at Mister Crocodile
Insomnio Composer(s): J.L. Borges; Pedro Aznar Performer(s): Pedro Aznar
De fierro de encorvados tirantes de enorme fierro tiene que ser la noche para que no la revienten y la desfonden las muchas cosas que mis abarrotados ojos han visto las duras cosas que insoportablemente la pueblan
Mi cuerpo ha fatigado los niveles, las temperaturas, las luces en vagones de largo ferrocarril en un banquete de hombres que se aborrecen en el filo mellado de los suburbios en una quinta calurosa de estatuas húmedas en la noche repleta donde abundan el caballo y el hombre
El universo de esta noche tiene la vastedad del olvido y la precisión de la fiebre
En vano quiero distraerme del cuerpo y del desvelo de un espejo incesante que lo prodiga y que lo acecha y de la casa que repite sus patios y del mundo que sigue hasta un despedazado arrabal de callejones donde el viento se cansa y de barro torpe
En vano espero las desintegraciones y los símbolos que preceden al sueño
Sigue la historia universal los rumbos minuciosos de la muerte en las caries dentales la circulación de mi sangre y de los planetas
(He odiado el agua crapulosa de un charco he aborrecido en el atardecer el canto del pájaro)
Las fatigadas leguas incesantes del suburbio del Sur leguas de pampa basurera y obscena, leguas de execración no se quieren ir del recuerdo
Lotes anegadizos, ranchos en montón como perros, charcos de plata fétida soy el aborrecible centinela de esas colocaciones inmóviles Alambre, terraplenes, papeles muertos, sobras de Buenos Aires
Creo esta noche en la terrible inmortalidad ningún hombre ha muerto en el tiempo, ninguna mujer, ningún muerto porque esta inevitable realidad de fierro y de barro tiene que atravesar la indiferencia de cuantos estén dormidos o muertos -aunque se oculten en la corrupción y en los siglos- y condenarlos a vigilia espantosa
Toscas nubes color borra de vino infamarán el cielo amanecerá en mis párpados apretados
Never Say Die Composer(s): Geezer Butler;
Tony Iommi; Ozzy Osbourne; Bill Ward Performer(s): Black Sabbath; Baltimoore; Doug Bennett
People going nowhere, taken for a ride Looking for the answers that they know inside Searching for a reason, looking for a rhyme Snow White's mirror said "partners in crime!"
Don't they ever have to worry? Don't you ever wonder why? It's a part of me that tells you Oh, don't you ever, don't ever say die Never, never, never say die again
Sunday's satisfaction, Monday's home and dry Truth is on the doorstep, welcome in the lie All dressed up in sorrow, got no place to go Hold back, 'till it's ready, taking it slow
Don't they ever have to worry? Don't you ever wonder why? It's a part of me that tells you Oh, don't you ever, don't ever say die Never, never, never say die again
Don't you ever say die Don't you ever say die Never say die
Panic, silver lining, writing's on the wall Children get together, you can save us all Future's on the corner, throwing us a die Slow down, turn around, everything's fine
There's no need to have a reason There's no need to wonder why It's a part of me that tells you Oh, don't you ever, don't ever say die Never, never, never say die again
Insieme A Te Sto Bene Composer(s): Lucio Battisti; Mogol Audio 2 Performer(s): Lucio Battisti
Che cosa vuoi da me cosa pretendi da me Se è giusto non lo so elementare sì o no La donna è donna e tu una donna sei che importa cosa fai resta qui con me finché vuoi che da mangiare c'è
Insieme a te sto bene fra le tue braccia così adesso non parlare anch'io sai non ho avuto più di quel che tu mi dai.
Tu prima eri sola il tempo corre e vola oh non spiegarmi chi sei perché vai sempre bene per me La donna è donna e tu una donna sei che importa cosa fai resta qui con me finche vuoi che freddo non avrai mai
