Half As Lovely (Twice As True) Composer(s): Sammy Gallop; Lew Spence Performer(s): Frank Sinatra
If your eyes were half as bright, they still would light my way If your heart were twice as true then you'd be mine today That's why I often wish that you were half as lovely, twice as true I'm only one of those who thinks of you and sighs Just another who knows your laughter and lies I wish that you were someone who was half as lovely, twice as true I love you, I love you, too much it seems, for any fool can see With your heart so crowded with other dreams, how can you dream of me? Though I pray the gods of love will make you care, somehow Still I know the odds of love are all against me now But I might stand a chance if you were half as lovely, twice as true Maybe, if your loveliness were not so heavenly Maybe then I might possess the only one for me I wish you ere someone who was half as lovely, twice as true

Wat wil je dat ik doe om jou te krijgen Wat wil je dat ik doe opdat jij me ziet Wil je dat ik praat of blijf ik zwijgen Zeg me wat ik doe met dit verdriet
Wat doe ik opdat je mij zou willen Wat moet ik doen opdat jij me hoort Ik heb zo'n spijt van vele dingen En sorry lijkt hier niet het juiste woord
Wat vreemd, zo vreemd Wat een vreemde situatie En het maakt me bang, oneindig bang Wat vreemd, zo vreemd Waarom gaat het niet over Sorry lijkt hier niet Sorry lijkt hier niet het juiste woord
Mmm wat vreemd, zo vreemd Wat een vreemde situatie En het maakt me bang, oneindig bang Wat vreemd, zo vreemd Waarom gaat het niet over Sorry lijkt hier niet Sorry lijkt hier niet het juiste
Wat wil je dat ik doe om jou te krijgen Wat wil je dat ik doe opdat jij me ziet Wat moet ik doen als jij blijft zwijgen Wat moet ik toch doen Zeg me wat ik moet doen Want sorry lijkt hier niet het juiste woord
Half A Sixpence Composer(s): David Heneker Performer(s): Tommy Steele
I read in the Sunday papers what lovers tokens are Theres amulets and theres talismans Like a ring or a lucky star It says that half a sovereign Is a thing they use a lot But sixpence is the only thing Ive got
Still, half a sixpence Is better than half a penny Is better than half a farthing Is better than none Its a token of Our eternal love When youre far away Touch it everyday And, though, that half a sixpence Can only mean half a romance Remember that half a romance Is better than none But when Im with you One and one make two And, likewise, two half sixpences Joined together make one

Was kann ich jetzt noch tun um Dich zu halten? Was immer ich versuch', es ist zu spät Was kann ich tun damit Du mich liebst Alles wäre jetzt bestimmt verkehrt
Was kann ich tun damit Du hierbleibst? Wie laut muß ich schreien daß Du mich hörst? Gibt's noch ein Wort das Dich nicht kalt läßt? "Sorry" hab' ich viel zu oft gesagt
Zu spät, Du gehst, als wärst Du nie hier gewesen Wo Du hingehst hab' ich nie gefragt Du gehst, Du gehst, als hätt's uns nie gegeben Ich hab' so das Gefühl "Sorry" hab' ich viel zu oft gesagt
Zu spät, Du gehst, als wärst Du nie hier gewesen Wo Du hingehst hab' ich nie gefragt Du gehst, Du gehst, als hätt's uns nie gegeben Ich hab' so das Gefühl "Sorry" hab' ich viel zu oft gesagt
Was kann ich tun wo es doch vorbei ist? Was kann ich jetzt noch tun, es ist zu schwer Nichts ändert mehr daran daß Du mich nicht liebst |: Was kann ich jetzt noch tun? :| "Sorry" hab' ich viel zu oft gesagt
Half A Mind Composer(s): Rodger Miller; Glen Tubb; Ernest Tubb Performer(s): Ernest Tubb; and various other artists
I don't love you like I used to do but I'm afraid to tell you so I've got half a mind to leave you but only half the heart to go Words to tell you just don't come to me guess my courage is too slow I've got half a mind to leave you but only half the heart to go
Now time may prove that you're not to blame But now's the time I need to know I've got half a mind to leave you but only half the heart to go

2003 - La Parola Piu Difficile
Mitä mä teen niin, että jälleen pitää sua saisin lähelläin Mistä löytää langan elämälleen Mihin tukisin, kun yksin jäin Miten sinut saisin välittämään vain hetkiseksi vielä itsestäin Miten sinut saisin ymmärtämään kyyneleesi jälkeen kaiken näin
Jos saisin, jos saan sanan sanoa, jonka taisin jo kauan sitten unohtaa Jos saisin, jos saan vain sanotuksi saisin Niin on aina mun anteeksi kai pyytää vaikeaa (2x)
Mitä mä teen sä, että voisit nähdä koko yksinäisyytein Mitä mä teen sä, että soisit anteeksi nyt sen summan virheiden Anteeksi on pyytää vaikeaa

You'd better run you'd better hide
You'd better lock you house and keep the kids inside Here come the twentieth century's latest scam he's a half a boy and half a ma] He ain't a fool but he's a tool
Because his left don't know what his right hand's doin' He'd keep a King Kong eating out of the palm of his hand
Now he's a half a boy and half a man
Or else the S.P.G. 's gonna clear the streets They never made no provision in the original plan for half a boy and half a man Oh when his fingers do the walking in the middle of the night When his people stalk in baby let me tell you nothing comes out right Best be fleet up on your feet
Oh when his fingers do the walking in the middle of the night
You'd better run you'd better hide
He's a half a boy and half a man he's a half a boy and half a man

Wat moet ik nu nog doen, om jou te houden We hebben alles samen al beleefd Wat doe ik met mijn zelfvertrouwen Sinds jij het met verwijten hebt doorzeefd
Probeer toch weer eens naar me te verlangen En zet jouw jaloezie maar overboord Of zeg: 'Het spijt me!', dan is het over Maar "Sorry" is voor jou een moeilijk woord
Je bent bang! Te bang, bang om me gelijk te geven! Heb je angst, dat het jouw ego stoort? Het is fijn, best fijn Om een keer toe te geven Kom, zeg het in mijn oor Want "Sorry" is toch niet zo'n moeilijk woord
Je bent bang! Te bang, bang om me gelijk te geven! Heb je angst, dat het jouw ego stoort? Het is fijn, best fijn Om een keer toe te geven Kom, zeg het in mijn oor Want "Sorry" is toch niet zo'n moeilijk woord
Wat moet ik nog doen om jou te houden Ik zal mezelf verbeteren, accoord We hebben beiden onze fouten Fluister het in mijn oor Zeg het maar in mijn oor Is dat "Sorry" nou zo'n vreselijk moeilijk woord?

Haitian Divorce Composer(s): Walter Becker; Donald Fagen Performer(s): Steely Dan
Babs and Clean Willie were in love they said So in love the preacher's face turned red Soon everybody knew the thing was dead He shouts, she bites, they wrangle through the night She go crazy Got to make a getaway Papa say
Chorus: Oh - no hesitation No tears and no hearts breakin' No remorse Oh - congratulations This is your Haitian Divorce
She takes the taxi to the good hotel Bon marché as far as she can tell She drinks the zombie from the cocoa shell She feels alright, she get it on tonight Mister driver Take me where the music play Papa say
Chorus
At the Grotto In the greasy chair Sits the Charlie with the lotion and the kinky hair When she smiled, she said it all The band was hot so They danced the famous Merengue Now we dolly back Now we fade to black
Tearful reunion in the USA Day by day those memories fade away Some babies grow in a peculiar way It changed, it grew, and everybody knew Semi-mojo Who's this kinky so-and-so? Papa go
Sorry Composer(s): Phil Keaggy Performer(s): Phil Keaggy
Here's a story of ten virgins Who went out to meet the Groom Five of them were foolish Though their beauty was in bloom
They took no oil with their lamps To see them through the night They thought they'd be alright and ready
The other five were very wise And made provision for the night They carried extra oil And their lamps were burning bright
Then one by one they fell asleep The Bridegroom had delayed Then there came a messenger who said
He is coming, His waiting bride to take He's coming, the choice is yours to make Come and greet Him, He'll soon be at the gate Will you meet Him before you realize that it's too late?
They all arose and trimmed their lamps Knowing they would soon see Him The foolish then discovered That their lamps were growing dim
Share with us your oil We've run out of our supply! Then the wise would answer them and cry
We're so sorry, there's not enough to take We're sorry, the choice was yours to make Now go hurry, He'll soon be at the gate Now you worry, although you knew That it was getting late
While they went to make the purchase That was when the Bridegroom came The ready ones went with Him To the feast and wore His name
The others then returned and said Lord let us come in too But He answered, I do not know you
They were sorry, don't make the same mistake So sorry, the choice is yours to make Come and greet Him, He'll soon be at the gate Will you meet Him before you've realized That it's too late?

Makin eyes at all the guys While you dance with me I must be blind to love your kind cause its so plain to see

Troubles waitin just around the corner Heartaches waitin just around the bend I dont want to think about tomorrow cause tomorrow my happiness could end
I asked my pride to step aside I know this loves so wrong Cant stand the pain Of lovin in vain its not where I belong
If I should love you For more than tonight

You believe me There would be sorrow There would be heartache
There would be sorrow, tomorrow
I know you know That there would be sorrow There would be heartache There would be sorrow, tomorrow

She asks me why I'm just a hairy guy I'm hairy noon and night Hair that's a fright I'm hairy high and low Don't ask me why Don't know It's not for lack of bread Like the Grateful Dead Darling
Gimme head with hair Long beautiful hair Shining, gleaming Streaming, flaxen, waxen
Give me down to there hair Shoulder length or longer Here baby, there mama Everywhere daddy daddy
Hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair Flow it, show it Long as God can grow it My hair
Let it fly in the breeze And get caught in the trees Give a home to the fleas in my hair A home for fleas A hive for bees A nest for birds There ain't no words For the beauty, the splendor, the wonder Of my...
Hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair Flow it, show it Long as God can grow it My hair

Oh say can you see My eyes if you can Then my hair's too short
Down to here Down to there Down to where It stops by itself
They'll be ga ga at the go go When they see me in my toga My toga made of blond Brilliantined Biblical hair
My hair like Jesus wore it Hallelujah I adore it Hallelujah Mary loved her son Why don't my mother love me?
Hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair Flow it, show it Long as God can grow it My hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair Flow it, show it Long as God can grow it My hair
