You Can't Catch Me Composer(s): Chuck Berry Performer(s): Chuck Berry; and various other artists
I bought a brand new airmobile It was custom made 'Twas a Flight DeVille With a powerful motor And some hide-away wings Push in on the button and you will hear her sing Now you can't catch me Baby, you can't catch me 'Cause if you get too close You know I'm gone like a cool breeze
New Jersey Turnpike in the wee wee hours I was rolling slowly 'cause of drizzlin' showers Here come up flat top he was movin' up with me Then come wavin' goodbye In a little old suped up jitny I put my foot in my tank and I began to roll Moanin' sirens, 'twas the state po'trol So I let out my wings and then I blew my horn Bye-bye New Jersey I become airborne
Now you can't catch me Baby you can't catch me 'Cause if you get too close You know I'm gone like a cool breeze
Flyin' with my baby last Saturday night Wasn't a gray cloud floatin' in sight Big full moon shinin' up above Cuddle up honey be my love Sweetest little thing I ever seen I'm gon' name you Maybellene Flyin' on the beam set on flight control Radio tuned to rock 'n' roll Two, three hours are passed us by Altitude dropped to 505 Fuel consumption way too fast Let's get on home before we run out of gas
Now you can't catch me No baby, you can't catch me 'Cause if you get too close You know I'm gone like a coooool breeze
Sueño Con Serpientes Composer(s): Silvio Rodríguez Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez and multiple other artists
Sueño con serpientes, con serpientes de mar con cierto mar, ay, de serpientes sueño yo Largas, transparentes, y en sus barrigas llevan lo que puedan arrebatarle al amor
Oh, la mato y aparece una mayor Oh, con mucho más infierno en digestión
No quepo en su boca, me trata de tragar pero se atora con un trébol de mi sien Creo que está loca; le doy de masticar una paloma y la enveneno de mi bien
Oh, la mato y aparece una mayor Oh, con mucho más infierno en digestión
Ésta al fin me engulle, y mientras por su esófago paseo, voy pensando en qué vendrá Pero se destruye cuando llego a su estómago y planteo con un verso una verdad
Oh, la mato y aparece una mayor Oh, con mucho más infierno en digestión

You can't be true, dear There's nothing more to say I trusted you, dear Hoping we'd find a way Your kisses tell me That you and I are through But I'll keep loving you Although you can't be true
Clouds hide the sun In the skies that were blue As my heart says Goodbye to you
You can't be true, dear There's nothing more to say I trusted you, dear Hoping we'd find a way Your kisses tell me That you and I are through But I'll keep loving you Although you can't be true

You Can't Be Too Strong Composer(s): Graham Parker Performer(s): Graham Parker; Superfolk
Did they tear it out, with talons of steel And give you a shot, so that you wouldn't feel And wash it away, as if it wasn't real
It's just a mistake, I won't have to face Don't give it a name, don't give it a place Don't give it a chance, it's lucky in a way
It must have felt strange, to find me inside you I hadn't intended to stay If you want to keep it right, put it to sleep at night Squeeze it until it could say
(Chorus)
You can't be too strong You can't be too strong You can't be too strong You can't be too strong You decide what's wrong
Well I ain't gonna cry, I'm gonna rejoice And shout myself dry, and go see the boys They'll laugh when I say, I left it overseas
Yeah babe I know that it gets dark, down by Luna Park But everybody else, is squeezing out a spark That happened in the heat, somewhere in the dark, in the dark
The doctor gets nervous, completing the service He's all rubber gloves and no head He fumbles the light switch, it's just another minor hitch Wishes to God he was dead
(Repeat Chorus)
You can't be too strong You decide what's wrong Can't be too hard, too tough, too rough, too right, too wrong And you, can't be too strong
Suddenly, Seymour Composer(s): Alan Menken - Howard Ashman Performer(s): Jennifer Leigh Warren and multiple other artists
Lift up your head Wash off your mascara Here, take my kleenex Wipe that lipstick away Show me your face Clean as the mornin' I know things were bad But now they're ok
Suddenly, Seymour Is standing beside you You don't need no make-up Don't have to pretend Suddenly, Seymour Is here to provide you Sweet understanding Seymour's your friend

Suddenly, Seymour Is standing beside me He don't give me orders He don't condescend Suddenly, Seymour Is here to provide me Sweet understanding Seymour's my friend
Tell me this feeling Lasts 'til forever Tell me the bad times Are clean, washed away! Please understand that It's still strange and frightening For loosers like I've been It's so hard to say...
Suddenly, Seymour He purified me Suddenly, Seymour Showed me I can! Learn how to be more! The girl that's inside (you/me) With sweet understanding With sweet understanding With sweet understanding Seymour's (your/my) man
You Can't Always Get What You Want Composer(s): Mick Jagger; Keith Richards Performer(s): The Rolling Stones; and various other artists
I saw her today at the reception A glass of wine in her hand I knew she was gonna meet her connection At her feet was a footloose man
I saw her today at the reception A glass of wine in her hand I knew she was gonna meet her connection At her feet was a footloose man
You can't always get what you want You can't always get what you want You can't always get what you want But if you try sometimes you just might find You'll get what you need
I went down to the demonstration To get my fair share of abuse Singing "we're gonna vent our frustrations And if we don't we're gonna blow a 50-amp fuse"
You can't always get what you want You can't always get what you want You can't always get what you want But if you try sometimes you might find You'll get what you need
I went down to the Chelsea drugstore To get your prescription filled I was standing in line with Mr. Jimmy And man, did he look pretty ill We decided that we would have a soda My favorite flavor, cherry red I sung my song to Mr. Jimmy And he said one word to me, and that was "dead," I said to him
You can't always get what you want You can't always get what you want You can't always get what you want But if you try sometimes you just might find You'll get what you need
You'll get what you need--yeah, oh baby
I saw her today at the reception In her glass was a bleeding man She was practiced at the art of deception Well I could tell by her bloodstained hands
You can't always get what you want You can't always get what you want You can't always get what you want But if you try sometimes you just might find You just might find You'll get what you need
You can't always get what you want You can't always get what you want You can't always get what you want But if you try sometimes you just might find
Suddenly Last Summer Composer(s): Martha Davis Performer(s): The Motels
It happened one summer It happened one time It happened forever For a short time A place for a moment An end to a dream Forever I loved you Forever it seemed
One summer never ends One summer never began It keeps me standing still It takes all my will And then suddenly Last summer
Sometimes I never leave But sometimes I would Sometimes I stay too long Sometimes I would Sometimes it frightens me Sometimes it would Sometimes I'm all alone And wish that I could
One summer never ends One summer never begins It keeps me standing still It takes all my will And then suddenly Last summer And then suddenly Last summer
One summer never ends One summer never begins It keeps me standing still It takes all my will And then suddenly Last summer And then suddenly Last summer Until suddenly Last Summer
And then suddenly Last summer Until suddenly Last Summer

You can look away when I pass by You can do your best to make me cry You can break my heart and leave me blue But darling I know one thing you can't do

Suddenly the wheels are in motion And I I'm ready to sail any ocean Suddenly I don't need the answers Cos I I'm ready to take all my chances with you
Why do I feel so alive when you're near There's no way any hurt can get thru' Longing to spend every moment of the day with you

You've known so long that you were wrong But still you had your way You told her lies and alibis And hurt her more each day But now your conscience bothers you You've reached your journey's end You're asking me for sympathy I'm sorry for you my friend
You laughed inside each time she cried You tried to make her blue She tagged along through right and wrong Because she worshipped you You know that you're the one to blame There's no use to pretend Today's the day you start to pay I'm sorry for you my friend
Today as she walked arm in arm At someone else's side It made you stop and realize That time has turned the tide You should have known you'd be alone 'Cause cheaters never win You tried and lost, now pay the cost I'm sorry for you my friend

Covered by multiple other artists

1968 - Hou Je Van 'M (Corry Brokken)
1961 - Tu Peux Le Prendre (Dalida)
Maisie: You can have him I don't want him He's not worth fighting for Besides there's plenty more where he came from
I don't want him You can have him I'm giving him the sack And he can go right back where he came from
I could never make him happy He'd be better off with you I'm afraid I never loved him All I ever wanted to do was
Run my fingers thru his curly locks Mend his underwear and darn his socks Fetch his slippers and remove his shoes Wipe his glasses when he read the news Rub his forehead with a gentle touch Mornings after when he's had too much Kiss him gently when he cuddled near Give him babies one for ev'ry year, so you see I don't want him, you can have him You can have him, I don't want him For he's not the man for me
Monique: You can have him I don't want him He's not worth fighting for Besides there's plenty more where he came from
I don't want him You can have him He isn't my concern And he can just return where he came from
I would look a trifle silly Taking him away from you That was never my intention All I ever wanted to do was
Close the window while he soundly slept Raid the icebox where the food is kept Cook a breakfast that would please him most Eggs and coffee and some buttered toast Wake him gently with a breakfast tray After breakfast clear the things away Bring the papers and when they've been read Spend the balance of the day in bed, so you see I don't want him, you can have him You can have him, I don't want him For he's not the man for me
Tu Peux Le Prendre ((Adapted from: You Can Have Him (Mary McCarty & Allyn Ann McLerie) - 1949)) ((Dutch Version: Hou Je Van 'M (Corry Brokken) - 1968)) Composer(s): B. Cook - A. Salvet - L. Morisse Performer(s): Dalida
Tu peux le prendre sans plus attendre Je dois comprendre qu'il ne m'aime plus C'est bien ma faute oui c'est ma faute Si pour une autre je l'ai perdu
Je le soupçonne, je le questionne, je lui pardonne Mais c'est en vain Je dévisage sur son visage je vois l'image De mon déclin
Tu peux le prendre sans plus attendre Je dois comprendre que c'est la vie Tourner la page je l'envisage Après l'orage tout est fini
Mais qu'il comprenne, qu'avec ma peine Dites que je l'aime, rien n'est plus fort S'il veut m'apprendre de sa voix tendre Qu'il faut attendre, j'attends encore
J'ai du te dire mille betises, mille sottises Oublie tout ça Qu'il me comprenne ah qui' m'revienne Et qu'il me prenne entre ses bras
J'ai du te dire mille betises Mille sottises oublie tout ça Qu'il me comprenne ah qu'il revienne Et qu'il me prenne entre ses bras Qu'il me comprenne et qu'il revienne Oh qu'il me prenne entre ses bras
Suddenly Composer(s): Keith Diamond - John Farrar - Billy Ocean Performer(s): Billy Ocean
I used to think that love was just a fairy tale Until that first hello until that first smile But if I had to do it all again I wouldn't change a thing Cause this love is everlasting
Suddenly life has new meaning to me There's beauty up above and things we never take notice of You wake up suddenly you're in love
Girl you're everthing a man could want and more One thousand words are not enough to say what I feel inside Holding hands as we walk along the shore Never felt like this before now you're all I'm living for
Each day I pray this love affair would last forever
There's beauty up above and things you never take notice of You wake and suddenly you're in love
