Please allow me to introduce myself I'm a man of wealth and taste I've been around for a long, long years Stole many a man's soul and faith
And I was 'round when Jesus Christ Had his moment of doubt and pain Made damn sure that Pilate Washed his hands and sealed his fate
Pleased to meet you Hope you guess my name But what's puzzling you Is the nature of my game
I stuck around St. Petersburg When I saw it was a time for a change Killed the czar and his ministers Anastasia screamed in vain
I rode a tank Held a general's rank When the blitzkrieg raged And the bodies stank
Pleased to meet you Hope you guess my name, oh yeah Ah, what's puzzling you Is the nature of my game, oh yeah (woo woo, woo woo)
I watched with glee While your kings and queens Fought for ten decades For the gods they made (woo woo, woo woo)
I shouted out, "Who killed the Kennedys?" When after all It was you and me (who who, who who)
Let me please introduce myself I'm a man of wealth and taste And I laid traps for troubadours Who get killed before they reached Bombay (woo woo, who who)
Pleased to meet you Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah (who who) But what's puzzling you Is the nature of my game, oh yeah, get down, baby (who who, who who)
Pleased to meet you Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah But what's confusing you Is just the nature of my game (woo woo, who who)
Just as every cop is a criminal And all the sinners saints As heads is tails Just call me Lucifer 'Cause I'm in need of some restraint (who who, who who)
So if you meet me Have some courtesy Have some sympathy, and some taste (woo woo) Use all your well-learned politesse Or I'll lay your soul to waste, um yeah (woo woo, woo woo)
Pleased to meet you Hope you guessed my name, um yeah (who who) But what's puzzling you Is the nature of my game, um mean it, get down (woo woo, woo woo)
Woo, who Oh yeah, get on down Oh yeah Oh yeah! (woo woo)
Tell me baby, what's my name Tell me honey, can ya guess my name Tell me baby, what's my name I tell you one time, you're to blame
Oh, who woo, woo Woo, who Woo, woo Woo, who, who Woo, who, who Oh, yeah
What's my name Tell me, baby, what's my name Tell me, sweetie, what's my name
Woo, who, who Woo, who, who Woo, who, who Woo, who, who Woo, who, who Woo, who, who Oh, yeah Woo woo Woo woo
Your Other Love Composer(s): Doc Pomus; Mort Shuman Performer(s): Dean Martin; The Flamingos
Your other love may be handsome And when he smiles he's got a twinkle in his eye Your other love may be bolder And when he holds you in his arms you wanna die He says he loves you from the very start But your other love, but your other love Is gonna someday break your heart.
Your other love says he needs you Just like a flower needs the burning summer sun Your other love says he wants you Oh, how he swears to you That you're the only one He claims his future just depends on you But your other love, but your other love Is gonna someday prove untrue
He's just tellin' lies Got you hypnotized Soon you'll realize
Your other love is unfaithful When you're not there, another girl is in his arms Your other love is a lover Makin' love to any girl who's in his arms My love is true Not for just a day But your other love But your other love Is gonna someday fly away But your other love But your other love Is gonna someday fly away

Your Ole Handy Man Composer(s): Dolly Parton Performer(s): Dolly Parton
I have to mow the lawn And I have to wash the car And I'd just like to know Just who you think you are I'm gettin' tired of wagging That old heavy garbage can Your woman's gettin' tired Of being your ole handy man
I have to run your water And I have to wash your back And I have to scrub the tub After you have had your bath
You're as helpless as a baby But I love you, understand I'm just gettin' tired Of being your ole handy man
Your woman's gettin' tired of being your ole handy man Now I know you've got ten fingers But where's your helpin' hand I've just made a decision I've stood all I'm gonna stand Your woman's gettin' tired of being your ole handy man
I do everything for you You never help yourself An' I think I'd die from shock If you raised a hand to help Well, I'm not gonna keep it up That's what you got planned Your woman's gettin' tired of being your ole handy man
Your woman's gettin' tired of being your ole handy man Now I know you got ten fingers But where's that helpin' hand I've just made a decision I've stood all I'm gonna stand Your woman's gettin' tired of being your ole handy man

Your Old Standby Composer(s): Janie Bradford; Smokey Robinson Performer(s): Mary Wells; Gladys Knight & The Pips
She left you last night And today you called me on the phone Asked me if you could come over 'Cause you didn't want to be alone So you want me to stand in for her And be the love of your next act But this time I play the part so well There'll be no need for her coming back, 'cause...
Chorus You know that I'm your old stand-by You know that you can call on me I know the part so well that you can hardly tell That she's left you in misery
I know you only called me 'cause you needed company 'Cause once again she's left you and your heart's in misery, but...
(chorus)
(instrumental)
(repeat and fade) I don't wanna be your old stand-by I wanna be with you permanently I'm gonna play the part from the depths of my heart And you won't need nobody but me

Now when you climb into your bed tonight And when you lock and bolt the door Just think about out in the cold and dark 'Cause there's not enough love to go 'round

You carry my books You give me looks that say "I love you" You send me flowers I spend my hours thinking of you But I saw you late last night You were holding another girl tight Go ahead, explain But remember, if you lie The bogeyman will get you And your nose is gonna grow So remember, if you lie Ev'ryone will know Remember, if you lie Your nose is gonna grow-oh-oh-oh-oh And ev'ryone will know

Now when you climb Into your bed tonight And when you lock And bolt the door Just think of those Out in the cold and dark 'Cause there is not enough love to go round
Now when you climb ... And when you lock ... Just think of those Out in the cold and dark 'Cause there is not enough love to go round
[Maxi Jazz] Until you wake up You people need a shake up You take up so much time Worrying, Scurrying Here, there Losing your hair No money to spare No love to share No wonder you appear under pressure from here You look fresh, yeah But all I got is dirt in my hair My nightmares manifest, But I can escape Yours is in your chest With no form or shape The tape is running I push the button to send Upon each other we all depend Message end
Whoever asks my name Or where I came from People fear contamination If they chary too long I carry a strong Sin of despair It's in the air I'm broken and hard to repair I may mistaken be But I patiently wait On the path to humanity I sit at the gates
Now when you climb Into your bed tonight And when you lock And bolt the door Just think of those Out in the cold and dark 'Cause there is not enough love to go round
Now when you climb Into your bed tonight And when you lock And bolt the door Just think of those Out in the cold and dark 'Cause there is not enough love to go round
[Maxi Jazz] Dirty, Cold, Hurting, Soul Down the river My liver in bad condition Like my skin Rain falling, once again I'm in my bed Hurt the time in I'm gonna struggle for air There's hair in my food When I get it usually someone already half ate it Touch it, not to let it Get me down But my head starting to pound People go round, and round and round
From one I get a cigarette A little more love found But the ground is still wet My teeth are chattering And there's a spattering of seeds Sometimes I lose all feeling in my feet When I sleep I'll do my deep in the mainstream But unaccountably my heart was growing Small and mean A hurry past Wretched people I pretend I haven't seen But there's money in my pocket And my clothes are clean?
[Maxi Jazz 4x] I said money in my pocket But I just can't give no love Money in my pocket But I just can't give no love
Now when you climb Into your bed tonight And when you lock And bolt the door Just think of those Out in the cold and dark 'Cause there is not enough love to go round 'Cause there is not enough love to go round
Your Mind Has Left Your Body Composer(s): Paul Kantner Performer(s): Paul Kantner
You have left your body Be aware if you care Your mind has left your body And for this one moment you are Under the polar ice cap In a place we call home How is it there white bear Like that Where you grow...
Now all of you come back to here and now Elsewhen to there Move on out the other way Where... Do you find yourself Floating, growing, there
Riders of the rainbow Let it grow, let it grow
You can exercise your mind On where you want to go And you can see the city lights flashin' Two thousand miles below you You can feel the sands of Zanzibar Or pierce the nearest sun Find out what and who you are And if you need to run
Riders of the rainbow Let it grow, let it grow Riders of the rainbow Let it grow, let it grow
There is one moment in your life And it can come at any time And you remember all of what went on From the instant you were born Through your early years
And if you can fasten on that moment And expand through the afterglow You can reverse your mind in time And travel back to when The earth was formed The sky was born And the universe began
Riders of the rainbow Let it grow, let it grow
You have left your body Return when you may Save it for another day, beyond you

Di notte tu A letto te ne vai Ma penso che Non dormiresti piu' Pensando a chi Giu' nella strada sta Ed e' solo nell'oscurita'
L'umanita' Pensa soltanto a se' L'umanita' Non sa pregare piu' La verita' E' che mi devi amare Se nel mondo l'amore non c'e' Se nel mondo l'amore non c'e'
Tu vedi che C'e' chi non muore mai E invece c'e' Chi lotta per vivere Meta' del mondo Sa cosa son le stelle Mentre gli altri non le vedono mai
L'umanita' pensa soltanto a se' L'umanita' non sa pregare piu' La verita' e' che mi devi amare Se nel mondo l'amore non c'e' Se nel mondo l'amore non c'e'

And it's all because your mama don't dance And your daddy don't rock and roll Your mama don't dance and your daddy don't Rock and roll When evenin' rolls around and it's time to Hit the town Where do you go - Play me a little C.C.

C'était un soir, un matin peut-être, Sylvie T'en souviens-tu, Sylvie, je ne sais plus, Sylvie C'était l'été, l'automne peut-être, Sylvie Je n'en sais rien, Sylvie, c'est déjà loin, Sylvie
On perd jusqu'à la mémoire D'un air que l'on a chanté Et ton image nous sépare Des paysages familiers D'une rivière, d'un banc de square Et d'une chambre où tu venais
Qui se souvient de nous, Sylvie Qui peut penser à nous Qui sait encore qu'il y a longtemps On s'aimait fort, on s'aimait tant
Mais tout s'efface, tout se remplace, Sylvie Rêves d'enfants, Sylvie, rêves de grands aussi Et le bonheur lui-même passe, Sylvie Comme le temps, Sylvie, comme le vent, Sylvie
On perd jusqu'à la mémoire D'un air que l'on a chanté Et cet instant et ce visage Que l'on voudrait se rappeler Ne sont que des châteaux de sable Bientôt la mer va remonter
Qui se souvient de nous, Sylvie Qui peut penser à nous, Qui sait encore qu'il y a longtemps On s'aimait fort, on s'aimait tant
Mais on s'est sans doute fait des promesses, Sylvie T'en souviens-tu, Sylvie, je ne sais plus, Sylvie Amour d'un jour, amour de jeunesse, Sylvie Se sont perdus, Sylvie, et tu n'es plus qu'un oubli

Can't you see? All of the things that I'm trying to say Are inside of me I never thought I'd be feeling this way But I think you've known all the time Your love is stranger than mine
Seeing you I can't believe in a love that won't leave I don't want you to Be anyone that you don't wanna be But I think you've known all the time Your love is stranger than mine
If you are the one To make it, to break it If you are the one Won't you stay with me?
One more time Getting a feeling afraid that I might be Out of line Telling myself there's a chance that you could be someone I've known all the time Your love is stranger than mine

Sylvie Composer(s): Charles Aznavour Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
Sylvie Ou sont tes plaisirs Et tes rires d'enfant Sylvie Ou sont tes désirs De mordre à belles dents La vie Éveillant tes jeunes printemps À l'aube de tes joies Tu pleures déjà Pour Un garçon insensé Qui un jour Sans raison a brisé Pour toujours Les espoirs de ton coeur Plein d'amour Toi tu pleures
Sylvie Ce que l'on voit fuir Ne se rattrape pas Sylvie Armé d'un sourire Un inconnu viendra Ravi D'apporter des rêves en toi Par un nouveau bonheur Au fond de ton coeur Viens Car à l'âge d'aimer Le chagrin Ne doit pas t'effleurer Car demain Peut sombrer ton malheur Puisque rien Ne demeure
Sylvie Quand on a de l'espoir Tout peux recommencer Sylvie Range ton mouchoir Et repoudre ton nez Souris Car la vie ce traîne à tes pieds Ne la repousse pas Tu regretteras Quand Tes années s'enfuiront Que le temps Me donnera raison Tristement Tu te diras:"trop tard!" En fouillant Ta mémoire Sylvie Là tu comprendras Ce que tu as perdu Sylvie Les jours d'autrefois Ne se revivent plus Aussi Ouvre ton coeur à l'inconnu Qui changera tes jours Par un cri d'amour
Your Latest Trick Composer(s): Mark Knopfler Performer(s): Dire Straits; The Tribute Band
All the late night bargains have been struck Between the satin beaus and their belles And prehistoric garbage trucks Have the city to themselves Echoes roars dinosaurs They're all doing the monster mash And most of the taxis and the whores Are only taking calls for cash
I don't know how it happened It all took place so quick But all I can do is hand it to you And your latest trick
My door was standing open Security was laid back and lax But it was only my heart got broken You must have had a pass key made out of wax You played robbery with insolence And I played the blues in twelve bars down Lover's Lane And you never did have the inteligence to use The twelve keys hanging off my chain
I don't know how it happened It all took place so quick But all I can do is hand it to you And your latest trick
Now it's past last call for alcohol Past recall has been here and gone The landlord finally paid us all The satin jazzmen have put away their horns And we're standing outside of this wonderland Looking so bereaved and so bereft Like a Bowery bum when he finally understands The bottle's empty and there's nothing left
I don't know how it happened It was faster than the eye could flick But not all I can do is hand it to you And your latest trick
