Smile though your heart is aching
Smile even though it's breaking
When there are clouds in the sky, you'll get by
If you smile through your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll see the sun come shining through for you

Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever so near 
That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying?
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile

That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying?
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile

Please Tell Me Why
Composer(s): Dave Clark; Mike Smith
Performer(s): The Dave Clark Five; The Gants



I don't know why she won't love me
Lord, please tell me why
Maybe it's that she don't love me
Don't count on it please, she's shy

If she's shy then I'll understand
I'll make the first move and hold her hand
But if I'm wrong then I'll be mad
La-da-da-da-da

I've been tryin' oh so hard
But she don't seem to notice
I sit next to her in class
But she can't see my motive

Do you think she has a boy
If she has then I'm done
'Cause if he catches me with her
I think I'll have to run

If she's passive she'll understand
I'll value my love but not in her hands
But if I'm wrong then I'll be mad
La-da-da-da-da
La-da-da-da-da
La-da-da-da-da

Ton Sourire Est Dans Mon Coeur - 1955 (aka Femme - 1983)
(Adapted from: Smile - 1936)
(Italian Version: Se Mai Ti Parlassero Di Me - 2008)
Composer(s): Charlie Chaplin; Henri Contet
Performer(s): Jacqueline François - 1955



J'ai ton sourire dans mon coeur
C'est ma petite fleur de bonheur
Quand tu souris, j'ai le ciel dans ma vie
Ton sourire c'est l'étoile du matin
C'est mon ami, mon copain
Et je lui dis cent fois merci, merci

Quand une rose fleurit
C'est qu'en passant tu souris
Tu es soleil et l'eau vive et le miel
Souris-moi, mon amour, souris-moi
Tout s'illumine par toi
Ma route est bleue sous le ciel gris
Quand tu souris

J'ai ton sourire dans mon coeur
C'est ma petite fleur de bonheur
Ma fleur d'amour, ma cocarde
Un beau jour tu souris et la vie te répond
Tout s'éparpille en chansons
Je les écoute et je te dis
Merci, merci

Please Stay
Composer(s): Bob Hilliard; Burt Bacharach
Performer(s): The Drifters



Don't go (Please stay)
Don't go (Please stay)

If I got on my knees and I pleaded with you
Not to go but to stay in my ar-arms
Would you walk out the door like you did once before?
Or would this time be different, would you sta-a-ay?

Don't go (Please stay)
Don't go

If I called out your name like a prayer in the night
Would you leave me alone with my tears?
Knowing I-I, I love you so-o, would you still turn and go?
Or would this time be different in some wa-a-ay?

Don't go (Please stay)
(Please stay)

You took me away from the rest of the world
When you taught me to love you like this
Now I hang by a thread in the canyon of doom
But I still can be saved ... by your kiss

If I got on my knees and I pleaded with you
Not to go but to stay in my ar-arms
Would you walk out the door like you did once before?
Or would this time be different, would you sta-a-ay?

(Don't go)
(Please stay)
(Don't go)
(Please stay)
(Don't go)
(Please sta-ay-ay-ay-ay) (ay-ay-ay-ay) (ay-ay-ay-ay)

Please Send Me Someone To Love
Composer(s): Percy Mayfield
Performer(s): Percy Mayfield;
and various other artists



Heaven please send to all mankind
Understanding and peace of mind
But, if it's not asking too much
Please send me someone to love

Show all the world how to get along
Peace will enter when hate is gone
But, if it's not asking too much
Please send me someone to love

I lay awake night and ponder world troubles
My answer is always the same
That unless men put an end to all of this
Hate will put the world in a flame, (oh) what a shame
Just because I'm in misery
I'm not begging for no sympathy
But if it's not asking too much
Just send me someone to love

Heaven please send to all mankind
Understanding and peace of mind
But if it's not asking too much
Please send me someone to love 

Learn to love me or leave me, either one you wanna do
Learn to love me or leave me, either one you wanna do
Because strange things are happenin', babe, an' somethin' might happen to you

If you know you don't love me, why don't you let me be?
If you know you don't love me, why don't you let me be?
Because it's better to be without you, then to live on in misery

Hey!

Midnight find me cryin', daylight find me cryin', too
Midnight find me cryin', daylight find me cryin', too
You better change your ways pretty baby or somethin' might happen to you

Smarty, though I'm not quite as smart as you
I can teach you a thing or two, Smarty
Smarty, don'cha know you should hold me tight
Can'cha tell when you met the right pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-rty, yeah!

Oh! You think you know every star up above?
Oh that's all you know about
Still you're in need of a few lessons in love
I ain't tellin' you nothin' wrong

Smarty! Can't you see if you had a heart, ha ha
You could learn to be twice as smart, Smarty
Come here!

Ha ha, I told you I'd tickle you
Yeah! You know it all? Yeah
Yeah! I need her, yes I do 
Yeah!

Smarty! Can't you see if you had a heart
You could learn to be twice as smart, Smarty

Ohh! You tricky thing, you thought to trick me
Hey, hey, nix, nix

Please Search The Book Again
Composer(s): Jerry Goff
Performer(s): Greg Watson



I dreamed that I had died and gone to heaven
I stood just outside the eastern gate
The Man from within said, "Have you been born again
And is your name written in the Book of Life?"

Chorus:
Please search the book again; I thought my name was there!
I went to church on Sunday, tho' I never knelt in prayer
Please search the book again; it's too late now, I know
Please search the book again before you make me go!

I told Him all the deeds that I had done
I told Him all the trophies I had won
But the Man said to me, "Have you been set free
And is your name written in the Book of Life?"

Chorus

And then He turned and left me standing there
I knew it was too late now for prayer
Oh, my sinner friend, if you want to make it in
Your name must be in the Book of Life

Chorus

Jennie, Jennie
Composer(s): Lars Berghagen
First performance by: Lars Berghagen - 1975



Jennie, Jennie
I know that tonight you're alone in your room with a note in your hand
In your dreams you're regretting, but never forgetting
That often, you doubt where you stand
 
Your phonograph spins out a tune, you see pictures in your memory
I know that you're crying, but there's no denying
That time has a different melody
 
Jennie, Jennie, Jennie, Jennie - can't you see the world is yours?
Jennie, Jennie, Jennie, Jennie - life has still so much in store to give you
Jennie, Jennie, Jennie, Jennie - you must change your tune somehow
Jennie, Jennie, Jennie, Jennie - live your life and live it now
 
You long for the world that you loved and you want to be there once again
But your diary's confessions are like signs that the ocean
Erased forever from the sand
 
Jennie, Jennie, Jennie, Jennie - can't you see the world is yours?
Jennie, Jennie, Jennie, Jennie - life has still so much in store to give you
Jennie, Jennie, Jennie, Jennie - you must change your tune somehow
Jennie, Jennie, Jennie, Jennie - live your life and live it now
 
Jennie, Jennie, Jennie, Jennie - can't you see the world is yours?
Jennie, Jennie, Jennie, Jennie - life has still so much in store to give you
Jennie, Jennie, Jennie, Jennie - you must change your tune somehow
Jennie, Jennie, Jennie, Jennie - live your life and live it now
 
Jennie, Jennie, Jennie, Jennie - can't you see the world is yours?
Jennie, Jennie, Jennie, Jennie - life has still so much in store to give you

Funny, you're a stranger who's come here

Tú Volverás
First performance by: Sergio & Estîbaliz - 1975



Volveras a ser la chica sencilla
que tomo el tren de la vida antes de ser mujer

Volveras, bajate en marcha si puedes
y aunque los años no vuelven
tu volveras, volveras
Toma tu vida y tu mochila

Volveras, aunque vestida de olvido
incluso para el amigo que te enseño a besar

Volveras, siempre es mas corto el camino
y aunque vuelvas de vacio
volveras, volveras
Toma tu vida y tu mochila
vuelve ya

Se que abandonaste tus olivos
tu familia y amigos, por triunfar
pero no te importe si alguien piensa
que has jugado y perdido
vuelve ya

Volveras ahora que el tren se detiene
que ya ha nevado en tus sienes
volveras, volveras
Toma tu vida y tu mochila
vuelve ya

Volveras, volveras
Toma tu vida y tu mochila
Volveras

Small Town
Composer(s): Max Nesbitt; Harry Nesbitt; Morton Fraser
Performer(s): Cyril Grantham



Small town, at long last I’m on my way
Thought of you night and day
Yearn for that new mown hay
Small town I’m on my way home

Big town, my pockets I thought you’d fill
I mention upon a hill
I fell like Jack and Jill
Small town I’m on my way home

I don’t see why
I should keep on hanging around
I’ve stayed so long
In the end it just got me down

Small town you’ve been such a memory
And now I can plainly see
There’s no other place for me
Small town I’m on my way home

Please Mr. Moon Don't Tell On Me
Performer(s): Hartman's Heartbreakers



As I drive into the moon
As I leave my baby behind me
I think of all the love we shared
And I just wanna go back home

Please Mr Moon
Won't you tell her that I love her
And I'll be home just as soon as I can
It's a shame we have to be apart
But for a singer it's the only way to be

When I think of her sweet smile
And all the kindness in her heart
All the love she gives to me
It just makes me wanna cry

Please Mr Moon
Won't you tell her that I love her
And I'll be home just as soon as I can
It's a shame we have to be apart
But for a singer it's the only way to be

Now here I am on the road back home
And I know she'll be waiting for me
With a smile so warm and tender
And a sweet, "Hello my darling"

Please Mr Moon
Won't you tell her that I love her
And I'm on my way back home
And I will give her all my love
Until I have to leave again

Please Mr Moon
Won't you tell her that I love her
And I'll be home just as soon as I can
It's a shame we have to be apart
But for a singer it's the only way to be
But for a singer it's the only way to be
But for a singer it's the only way to be

Madrugada
First performance by: Duarta Mendes - 1975



Dos que morreram sem saber porquê
Dos que teimaram em silêncio e frio
Da força nascida no medo
E a raiva à solta manhã cedo
Fazem-se as margens do meu rio

Das cicatrizes do meu chão antigo
E da memória do meu sangue em fogo
Da escuridão a abrir em cor
Do braço dado e a arma flor
Fazem-se as margens do meu povo

Canta-se a gente que a si mesma se descobre
E acorda vozes arraiais
Canta-se a terra que a si mesma se devolve
Que o canto assim nunca é demais

Em cada veia o sangue espera a vez
Em cada fala se persegue o dia
E assim se aprendem as marés
Assim se cresce e ganha pé
Rompe a canção que não havia

Acordem luzes nos umbrais que a tarde cega
Acordem vozes e arraiais
Cantem despertos na manhã que a noite entrega
Que o canto assim nunca é demais

Cantem marés por essas praias de sargaços
Acordem vozes, arraiais
Corram descalços rente ao cais, abram abraços
Que o canto assim nunca é demais
O canto assim nunca é demais

and multiple other artists



Here comes that good for nothin' brat of a boy
He's such a devil I could whip him with joy
He's been carousin' at the burleycue
Just watch me teach him with the sole of my shoe

Small fry, struttin' by the pool room
Small fry, should be in the school room
My, my, put down that cigarette
You ain't grown up high and mighty yet

Small fry, dancin' for a penny
Small fry, countin' up how many
My, my, just listen here to me
You ain't the biggest catfish in the sea

You practice peckin' all day long to some old radio song
Oh yes, oh yes, oh yes, you better listen to your paw
And someday practice the law
And then you'll be a real success

Yes, small fry, you kissed the neighbour's daughter
Small fry, shoulda stay in shallow water
Seems I should take you cross my knee
You ain't the biggest catfish in the sea

You've got your feet all soakin' wet
You'll be the death of me yet
Oh me, oh my, small fry

Please Mr. Gravedigger
Composer(s): David Bowie
Performer(s): David Bowie



There's a little churchyard just along the way
It used to be Lambeth's finest array
Of tombstones, epitaphs, wreaths, flowers all that jazz
Til the war came along and someone dropped a bomb on the lot

And in this little yard, there's a little old man
With a little shovel in his little bitty hand
He seems to spend all his days puffing fags and digging graves
He hates the reverend vicar and he lives all alone in his home

"Ah-choo, excuse me"

Please Mr. Gravedigger, don't feel ashamed
As you dig little holes for the dead and the maimed
Please Mr. Gravedigger, I couldn't care
If you found a golden locket full of some girl's hair
And you put it in your pocket

"God, it's pouring down"

Her mother doesn't know about your sentimental joy
She thinks it's down below with the rest of her toys
And Ma wouldn't understand, so I won't tell
So keep your golden locket all safely hid away in your pocket

Yes, Mr. GD, you see me every day
Standing in the same spot by a certain grave
Mary-Ann was only 10, full of life and oh so gay
And I was the wicked man who took her life away
Very selfish, Oh God

No, Mr. GD, you won't tell
And just to make sure that you keep it to yourself
I've started digging holes myself
And this one here's for you

"Lifted our girl, she apparently doesn't know of it
Hello missus, thought she'd be a little girl
Bloody obscene, catch pneumonia or something in this rain"
