Sultans Of Swing Composer(s): Mark Knopfler First release by: Dire Straits - 1978
You get a shiver in the dark It's been raining in the park but meantime South of the river you stop and you hold everything A band is blowing Dixie double four time You feel all right when you hear that music ring You step inside but you don't see too many faces Coming in out of the rain to hear the jazz go down Too much competition too many other places But not too many horns can make that sound Way on downsouth way on downsouth London town You check out Guitar George he knows all the chords Mind he's strictly rhythm he doesn't want to make it cry or sing And an old guitar is all he can afford When he gets up under the lights to play his thing And Harry doesn't mind if he doesn't make the scene He's got a daytime job he's doing alright He can play honky tonk just like anything Saving it up for Friday night With the Sultans with the Sultans of Swing And a crowd of young boys they're fooling around in the corner Drunk and dressed in their best brown baggies and their platform soles They don't give a damn about any trumpet playing band It ain't what they call rock and roll And the Sultans played Creole And then the man he steps right up to the microphone And says at last just as the time bell rings 'Thank you goodnight now it's time to go home' and he makes it fast with one more thing 'We are the Sultans of Swing'
You Don't Seem To Miss Me Composer(s): Jim Lauderdale Performer(s): Patty Loveless; George Jones; Los Bubbadinos
It's a long way off from where I should be going and overtime, I hate to leave your side but now when I return, there's something missing When I'm gone you don't seem to miss me
Duet: Now life's so fast and everything is changing' and if your changing too, then I don't blame you remember how you used to kiss me but when I'm gone you don't seem to miss me
Chorus: I'm going back, I wonder why, I'm running fast to get home I just can't wait to see your face but you don't seem to miss me
Duet: No one can take away the things you've given and all the good we've had alone together There was a time when you could not resist me Now I'm gone and you don't seem to miss me
Chorus:
I can't wait to see your face but you don't seem to miss me

Dal cucuzzolo della montagna con la neve alta così nella valle noi scenderemo con ai piedi un paio di sci-sci!
Dal cucuzzolo della montagna sotto a un cielo tinto col blu e con in testa un passamontagna scenderemo sempre più giù!
Scivolando con gli sci scivolando con gli sci scivolando con gli sci con una lunga lunga lunga seggiovia sulla cima tutta bianca torneremo!

You Don't Miss Your Water Composer(s): William Bell and various other artists
In the beginning you really loved me But I was blind and I could not see But when you left me, oh, how I cried You don't miss your water till your well runs dry
I was a playboy, I could not be true I couldn't believe I really loved you But when you left me, oh, how I cried You don't miss your water till your well runs dry
In the beginning you really loved me But I was blind and I could not see But when you left me, oh, how I cried You don't miss your water till your well runs dry You don't miss your water till your well runs dry
You Don't Mess Around With Jim Composer(s): Jim Croce Performer(s): Jim Croce; and various other artists
Uptown's got its hustlers The Bowry's got its bums Forty-second street's got Big Jim Walker He's a pool-shootin' son of a gun Well he's big and dumb as a man can come But he's stronger than a country hoss And when the bad folks all get together at night You know they all call Big Jim "boss" (Just because ...) (They say ...)
Chorus: You don't tug on Superman's cape You don't spit into the wind You don't pull the mask of the old Lone Ranger And you don't mess around with Jim (Ba-doo-da-doo-doo doo-doo-doo-doo doot) Well out of South Alabama come a country boy He said I'm lookin' for a man named Jim I am a pool-shootin' boy, my name is Willie McCoy But back home they call me Slim He said I'm lookin' for the king of forty-second street He's drivin' a drop-top Cadillac And last week he took all my money, and it may sound funny But I come to get my money back (And everybody say, Jack -- don't you know that...)
(Chorus)
Well a hush fell over the pool room When Jimmy come boppin' in off the street And when the cuttin' was done, the only part that wasn't bloody Was the soles of the big man's feet He was cut in 'bout a hundred places And he was shot in a couple more And you better believe they sung a different kind of story When Big Jim hit the floor (And now they say) You don't tug on Superman's cape You don't spit into the wind You don't pull the mask of the old Lone Ranger And you don't mess around with Slim

It's all because of you I'm feeling sad and blue You went away Now my love is just a rainy day I love you so How much you'll never know You've gone away and left me lonely
Untouchable memories Seemed to keep haunting me Of love so true That once turned all my gray skies blue But you disappeared Now my eyes are filled with tears I'm wishin' you were here with me Soft with love are my thoughts of you Now that you're gone I don't know what to do
If only you were here You'd wash away my tears The sun would shine And once again you'll be mine all mine But in reality Your love will never be 'Cause you took your love away from me Hoooo-ooooh-ooooh
If only you were here You'd wash away my tears The sun would shine And once again you'll be mine all mine But in reality Your love will never be 'Cause you took your love away from me Hoooo-ooooh, baby You took your love away from me
You Don't Love Me Anymore Composer(s): Weird Al Yankovic Performer(s): Weird Al Yankovic
We've been together for so very long But now things are changing, oh I wonder what's wrong? Seems you don't want me around The passion is gone and the flame's died down
I guess I lost a little bit of self-esteem That time that you made it with the whole hockey team You used to think I was nice Now you tell all your friends that I'm the Antichrist
Oh, why did you disconnect the breaks in my car? That kind of thing is hard to ignore Got a funny feeling you don't love me anymore
I knew that we were having problems when You put those piranhas in my bathtub again You're still the light of my life Oh darling, I'm beggin', won't you put down that knife?
You know, I even think it's kinda cute the way You poison my coffee just a little each day I still remember the way that you laughed When you pushed me down that elevator shaft
Oh, if you don't mind me asking, what's this poisonous cobra Doing in my underwear drawer? Sometime I get to thinking you don't love me any more
You slammed my face down on the barbecue grill Now my scars are all healing, but my heart never will You set my house on fire You pulled out my chest hairs with an old pair of pliers
Oh, you think that I'm ugly and you say that I'm cheap You shaved off my eyebrows while I was asleep You drilled a hole in my head Then you dumped me in a drainage ditch and left me for dead
Oh, you know this really isn't like you at all You never acted this way before Honey, something tells me you don't love me any more, oh no no Got a funny feeling you don't love me anymore
(approximately 10 minutes and 2 seconds of silence)
Suite: Judy Blue Eyes Composer(s): Stephen Stills Performer(s): Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young and multiple other artists
It's getting to the point where I'm no fun any more I am sorry Sometimes it hurts so badly I must cry out loud I am lonely I am yours, you are mine, you are what you are You make it hard
Remember what we've said, and done And felt about each other Oh, babe, have mercy Don't let the past remind us of what we are not now I am not dreaming
I am yours, you are mine, you are what you are You make it hard
Tearing yourself away from me now, you are free And I am crying This does not mean I don't love you, I do, that's forever Yes, and for always
I am yours, you are mine, you are what you are You make it hard
Something inside is telling me that I've got your secret Are you still listening? Fear is the lock, and laughter the key to your heart And I love you
I am yours, you are mine, you are what you are And you make it hard And you make it hard And you make it hard
Friday evening Sunday in the afternoon What have you got to lose? Tuesday morning Please be gone, I'm tired of you What have you got to lose?
Can I tell it like it is? Help me I'm suffering Listen to me baby It's my heart that's suffering Help me, I'm crying to you It's dyin' and that's what I have to lose
I've got an answer I'm going to fly away What have I got to lose? Will you come see me Thursdays and Saturdays What have you got to lose?
Chestnut brown canary Ruby throated sparrow Sing a song, don't be long Thrill me to the marrow
Voices of the angels Ring around the moonlight Asking me, said she so free How can you catch the sparrow?
Lacy lilting lady Losing love lamenting Change my life, make it right Be my lady
Suite Madame Blue Composer(s): Dennis DeYoung Performer(s): Styx; Sylvain Cossette
Time after time I sit and I wait for your call I know I'm a fool but why can I say Whatever the price I'll pay for you, Madame Blue Once long ago, a word from your lips and the world turned around But somehow you've changed, you're so far away I long for the past and dream of the days with you, Madame Blue
Suite Madame Blue, gaze in your looking glass You're not a child anymore Suite Madame Blue, the future is all but past Dressed in your jewels, you made your own rules You conquered the world and more ..............heaven's door
Red white and blue, gaze in your looking glass You're not a child anymore Red, white, and blue, the future is all but past So lift up your heart, make a new start And lead us away from here

You don't know what you've got until you lose it You gave me you-your love but I abused it And now I'm sorry for the things I didn't say `cause I know now I acted in a foolish way (oh yeah) uh-huh-huh (oh yeah) oh-oh-yeah
You don't know what you've got until you lose it You gave me you-your love but I misused it I never knew how lonely loneliness could be And now I need you, dear, as you once needed me (oh yeah) uh-huh-huh (oh yeah) oh-oh-yeah
So now if you'd come to this lonely heart you own I'd give you all my lovin' like you've never known (bung, bung, bung, bung)
You don't know what you've got until you lose it You gave me you-your love but I misused it And now I'm sorry for the things I didn't say `cause I know now I acted in a foolish way (oh yeah) uh-huh-huh (oh yeah) oh-oh-yeah
You Don't Know What Love Is Composer(s): Gene DePaul; Don Raye Performer(s): Dinah Washington; and various other artists
You don't know what love is until you've learned the meaning of the Blues Until you've loved a love you had to lose You don't know what love is
You don't know how lips burn until you've kissed and had to pay the cost Until you've flipped your heart and you have lost You don't know what love is
Do you know how a lost heart fears the thought of reminiscing? And lips that taste of tears lose their taste for kissing
You don't know how hearts ache for love that cannot live yet never dies Until you've faced each dawn with sleepless eyes You don't know what love is You don't know what love is
