Singing The Dolphin (aka Singing The Dolphin Through)
Composer(s): Mike Heron
First release by: Mike Heron - 1975
Covered by: Manfred Mann's Earth Band - 1976
Farewell Plymouth, your morning cold
And grey
Is painting shadows on my thoughts
And we're bound for nowhere
Joseph, I know you're trusting me to see
You right
And I know you can't stand the fighting
For one more night
Joseph, the mud gives way to coral
Somewhere
And the hours of light they last and last
We'll see no more hostile flag there
From craft unknown we will have grown free
From sighing
Singing the dolphin through
Singing the dolphin through
Singing the dolphin through
Still waters
Personality Crisis Composer(s): David Johansen; Johnny Thunders Performer(s): New York Dolls
Well we can't take it this week And her friends don't want another speach Hoping for a better day to hear what she's got to say
All about that Personality Crisis you got it while it was hot But now frustration and heartache is what you got (That's why they talk about Personality)
But now your tryin to be some no you got to do some Wanna be someone who cow wow wows But you think about the times you did they took every ounce When it sure got to be a shame when you start to scream and shout You got to contradict all those times you were butterflyin' about
(You were butterflyin') All about that Personality Crisis you got it while it was hot But now frustration and heartache is what you got
And your a prima ballerina on a spring afternoon Change on into the wolfman howlin at the moon hooowww
All about that Personality Crisis you got it while it was hot But now frustration and heartache is what you got
Now with all the crossin fingers that mother nature says Your mirrors get jammed up with all your friends
That personality everything starts to blend Personality when your mind starts to blend Personality impression of a friend, Of a friend, of a friend, of a friend, of a friend Personality wonderin how celebrities ever met (Look and find out on television)
Personality Crisis you got it while it was hot Frustration and heartache is all you got, don't you worry Personality Crisis please don't cry It's just a Personality Crisis, please don't stop
Personality Composer(s): Harold Logan; Lloyd Price Performer(s): Lloyd Price; and various other artists

Over and over I said that I loved you Over and over, honey Now it's the truth Over and over They still say I'm a fool But Over and over I'll be a fool for you
Personality Composer(s): Johnny Burke; Jimmy Van Heusen Performer(s): Johnny Mercer; and various other artists
When Madam Pompadour was on a ballroom floor Said all the gentlemen "Obviously," "The madam has the cutest personality"
And think of all the books about Du Barry's looks What was it made her the toast of Paree? She had a well-developed personality
(What did Romeo see in Juliet?) (Or Figaro in Figarette?) (Or Jupiter in Juno?) You know!
And when Salome danced and had the boys entranced No doubt it must have been easy to see That she knew how to use her personality
(A girl can learn to spell and take dictation well) (And never sit on the boss's left knee) (Unless she's got a perfect personality)
(A girl can get somewhere in spite of stringy hair) (Or even just a bit bowed at the knee) (If she can show a faultless personality)
Why are certain girls offered certain things Like sable coats and wedding rings? By men who wear their spats right? (That's right!)
(So don'tcha say "I'm smart and have the kindest heart" (Or "what a wonderful sister I'd be") Just tell me how you like my Mercer> "Rufff!! (Personality)
Persona No Grata Composer(s): Mario Pupparo Performer(s): Raphael
Tú nunca cambias de música Sólo cambias de instrumento No hablo por boca de otros Lo he aprendido sufriendo Esperando a que abrieras la puerta Y mirando tu pelo revuelto Y tú siempre esquivando mis ojos Y el adentro escondido en silencio Tú engañando, yo sufriendo Te declaro Persona no grata Te retiro Mi amor por estafa Y no voy a escuchar tus disculpas No te creo ni media palabra Que perdona y perdona Aquí no hay perdón que valga No, no, no, no Tú nunca cambias de música Sólo cambias de instrumento No hablo por boca de otros Lo he aprendido sufriendo Esperando en la calle desierta Y mordiendo mis uñas y el tiempo Y tú siempre inventando pretextos Y yo siempre callando y creyendo Tú engañando y yo sufriendo Te declaro Persona no grata Te retiro Mi amor por estafa
Singing In The Rain Composer(s): Arthur Freed; Nacio Herb Brown Performer(s): Cliff "Ukelele Ike" Edwards and multiple other artists
I'm singin' in the rain Just singin' in the rain What a glorious feeling I'm happy again! I'm laughing at clouds So dark up above The sun's in my heart and I'm ready for love! Let the stormy clouds chase Everyone from the place Come on with your rain I've got a smile on my face! I'll walk down the lane With a happy refrain Just singin', singin' in the rain!
Why am I smiling and why do I sing? Why does December seem sunny as Spring? Why do I get up each morning to start Happy and head-up with joy in my heart? Why is each new task a trifle to do? Because I am living a life full of you!
Hey, I'm singin' in the rain Just singin' in the rain What a glorious feeling I'm happy again! I'm laughing at clouds So dark up above The sun's in my heart and I'm ready for love! Let the stormy clouds chase Everyone from the place Come on with your rain I've got a smile on my face! I'll walk down the lane With a happy refrain Just singin', singin' in the rain!
Person To Person Composer(s): The Average White Band; Alan Gorrie; Hamish Stuart Performer(s): The Average White Band
Telephone line, bad connection And I'm half asleep Makin' conversation with you should be easy But it ain't Wish you could be with me There would be no problem Our communication's bad And I want to see you again
Person to person, face to face Person to person, one to one Person to person, touching hands Person to person, that's what love demands
Six weeks, long time to be without you sugar But what can I do Working hard on the other side of the world Might as well be on the moon Wish that I could write it all down And put it in a letter to you Feelin' like I do right now Won't make it any better to you Just got to be
Person to person, face to face Person to person, one to one Person to person, we can't replace Person to person, that's just how it gets done
Person to person, line to line Person to person, just keepin' time

Quel Coeur Vas-Tu Briser First performance by: Géraldine - 1967
Quel coeur vas-tu briser Maintenant que le mien A cessé de battre pour toi? Quel coeur vas-tu briser Puisque je n'ai plus rien Rien de toi que des mots sans voix?
Quel coeur vas-tu briser Et lui donnant l'espoir D'une vie de rêve pour deux? Quel coeur vas-tu briser En lui donnat à croire Que toi seul peux le rendre heureux', heureux'
C'est si facile de faire croire À des chemins semés de fleurs Surtout lorsqu'on parle à un coeur Qui ne demande qu'à y croire
Quel coeur vas-tu briser Maintenant que le mien Ne croit plus en rien, ni en toi' Quel coeur vas-tu briser Pour le seul plaisir, vain De sentir qu'il vit sous ta loi?
Quel coeur vas-tu briser Pour suivant ton chemin En croyant que tu vis ta vie? Quel coeur vas-tu briser Tout le long de ta vie Le tien, le tien, le tien

When I go out at night I know it won't be very long Till I find a bar where the jukebox plays a country music song I'll get a roll of quarters and pick out my favorite song And I'll sit there drinkin' a beer, singin' along, singin' along with
Hey Mister Fiddle Man, strike up that fiddle band And anything Hank Thompson sings, 'cause he's my number one man And Jim Ed Brown reminds me time to Pop A Top again Then Haggard sings about Carolyn, I wish I could sing like him Then Jerry Lee and Bobby McGee, till that roll of quarters is gone Drinkin' a beer, singin' a country song
When I stay home at night, I turn the record player on I never watch the TV set unless Hee Haw is on Well I get to hear Buck Owens and then Roy Clark sing a song And I sit there drinkin' a beer, singin' along, singin' along with
Hey Mr Fiddle Man, strike up that fiddle band And there's nothin' like old Charley Pride to bring a country song alive Then Jim Ed Brown reminds me time to Pop A Top again And that lucky Conway Twitty gets to sing with Loretta Lynn Then Jerry Lee and Bobby McGee and me singin' along Drinkin' a beer, singin' a country song Let's keep it country Singin' a beer and drinkin' a country song Ain't nothin' like it Drinkin' a beer singin' a country song
Permissive Twit Composer(s): Gilbert O'Sullivan Performer(s): Gilbert O'Sullivan: Big Jim Sullivan
Oh Heaven help our Linda She's really done it now What's more it's all so obvious I mean her stomachs sticking out If father tells me' mother She's bound to have a fit Followed by a neat convulsion Thanks to our permissive twit She thinks his name was Ronald Or was it Sid or Len The only thing that's certain Is that it wasn't Bill or Ben Our parish priest God bless him The very reverend Father Pitt Will no doubt be preaching sermons To our dear Permissive Twit By now the word Will no doubt have been heard By almost every bleeding nosy parker in our alley all except that is Our own great aunt Liz Who I hear's been deaf since the day our Grace recorded Sally, Sally, Sally
Unless we raise the money She'll have to let it out What I mean is she will have to Have it the right way wrong way about In other words let nature Take its course and do its bit For the sake of those concerned with Own dear permissive Dear permissive twit

Perhaps, Perhaps, Perhaps Composer(s): Joe Davis; Osvaldo Farrés Performer(s): Doris Day - 1965; and various other artists
You won't admit you love me And so how am I ever to know? You always tell me Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps
A million times I've asked you, And then I ask you over again You only answer Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps
If you can't make your mind up We'll never get started And I don't wanna wind up Being parted, broken-hearted
So if you really love me Say yes, but if you don't dear, confess And please don't tell me Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps
Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps
If you can't make your mind up We'll never get started And I don't wanna wind up Being parted, broken-hearted
So if you really love me Say yes, but if you don't dear, confess And please don't tell me Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps Perhaps, perhaps, (giggle) perhaps (giggle)
