A World Without Love ((French Version: Un Monde Sans Amour (by Sheila) - 1964)) Composer(s): John Lennon - Paul McCartney First release by: Peter & Gordon - 1964 Covered by multiple other artists
Please lock me away And don't allow the day Here inside where I hide With my loneliness
I don't care what they say I won't stay in a world without love
Birds sing out of tune And rain outside hide the moon I'm OK, here I'll stay With my loneliness
I don't care what they say I won't stay in a world without love
So I wait and in a while I will see my true love's smile He may come, I know not when When he does I lose So baby until then
Lock me away And don't allow the day Here inside where I hide With my loneliness
I don't care what they say I won't stay in a world without love
So I wait and in a while I will see my true love's smile He may come, I know not when When he does I know So baby until then
Lock me away And don't allow the day Here inside where I hide With my loneliness
I don't care what they say I won't stay in a world without love
I don't care what they say I won't stay in a world without love
Way Down Deep Composer(s): Leonard Cohen; Steve Forman; Amy LaTelevision; Jennifer Warnes Performer(s): Jennifer Warnes
Way down, way way down Way way down deep You've got me way down, way way down Way way down deep You're got me way down, way down deep I wander with you in my sleep I'm way down, way way down Way way down deep It came to me this morning I was walking down the street Was like my soul could taste you And God, you tasted sweet Finally I can breathe again Finally I can speak I've got you in the glory place I've got you way down deep
I've got you way down, way way down Way way down deep You're got me way down, way way down Way way down deep You're got me way down, way way down I wander with you in my sleep I'm way down, way way down Way way down deep
It's a funny feeling But I cannot say I mind I know that I'm dealing with A love that's far from blind I see every single angle I look before I leap And how else can I put it When you're got me way down deep
You've got me way down, way way down Way way down deep You've got me way down, way way down Way way down deep You've got me way down, way down deep I wander with you in my sleep I'm way down, way way down Way way down deep
Don't matter what we gave away Was nothing we could keep Don't matter what we gave away You know that talk is cheap Forgive me if I hate you You're a liar and a thief But I've got you in the glory place I got you way down deep
You've got me way down, way way down Way way down deep You've got me way down, way way down Way way down deep You've got me way down, way down deep I wander with you in my sleep I'm way down, way way down Way way down deep
Don't matter if the road is long Don't matter if it's steep Don't matter if the moon goes out And darkness is complete Don't matter if we lose our way I know we're gonna meet I've got you in the glory place I've got you way down deep
You've got me way down, way way down Way way down deep You've got me way down, way way down Way way down deep You've got me way down, way down deep I wander with you in my sleep I'm way down, way way down Way way down deep
Un Monde Sans Amour ((Adapted from: A World Without Love (by Peter & Gordon) - 1964)) Composer(s): John Lennon - Paul McCartney - Hubert Ithier - Claude Carrère Performer(s): Sheila - 1964
Bien des gens m'ont dit La vie n'est pas jolie La douceur, le bonheur N'ont plus cours ici
Moi, je ne peux pas vivre un seul jour Dans un monde sans amour
Oui, j'entends souvent Chanter le clair printemps Au réveil, le soleil Les oiseaux sont là
Moi, je ne peux pas vivre un seul jour Dans un monde sans amour
A la pluie, à l'arc-en-ciel A l'enfant qui s'émerveille A ces roses ouvertes au ciel Mon coeur dit "Merci! Vous donnez la vie!"
Oui, quelqu'un, là-haut Nous fait tous ces cadeaux Si les fous, les jaloux Ne voient rien du tout
Moi, je ne peux pas vivre un seul jour Dans un monde sans amour
Il est vrai que dans tes yeux J'ai trouvé ce que je veux, Au bonheur fait pour nous deux Mon coeur dit "Merci De m'avoir choisie"
Oui, j'entends souvent Chanter le clair printemps Avec toi, le soleil Les oiseaux sont là
Moi, je ne peux pas vivre un seul jour Dans un monde sans amour
A World Without Heroes Composer(s): Bob Ezrin - Paul Stanley - Gene Simmons - Lou Reed First release by: Kiss - 1981 Covered by multiple other artists
A world without heroes Is like a world without Sun You can't look up to anyone Without heroes And a world without heroes Is like a never ending race It's like a time, without a place A pointless thing, devoid of grace
Where you don't know what your after Or if something's after you And you don't know why you don't know In a world without heroes
In a world without dreams Things are no more than they seem A world without heroes Is like a bird without wings Or a bell that never rings Just a sad and useless thing
Where you don't know what your after Or if something's after you And you don't know why you don't know
Where you don't know what your after Or if something's after you And you don't know why you don't know You don't know, you don't know (repeat three times)
A World Of Our Own Composer(s): Tom Springfield Performer(s): The Seekers
Close the door, light the light, we're stayin' home tonight Far away from the bustle and the bright city lights Let them all fade away, just leave us alone And we'll live in a world of our own
We'll build a world of our own that no one else can share All our sorrows we'll leave far behind us there And I know you will find there'll be peace of mind When we live in a world of our own
Oh my love, oh my love, I've cried for you so much Lonely nights without sleeping while I longed for your touch Now your lips can't evade the heartache I've known Come with me to a world of our own
We'll build a world of our own that no one else can share All our sorrows we'll leave far behind us there And I know you will find there'll be peace of mind When we live in a world of our own
We'll build a world of our own that no one else can share All our sorrows we'll leave far behind us there And I know you will find there'll be peace of mind When we live in a world of our own
And I know you will find there'll be peace of mind When we live in a world of our own
Way Down Composer(s): Martine Layng Jr. Performer(s): Elvis Presley
Babe, you're getting closer The lights are goin' dim The sound of your breathin' Has made the mood I'm in All of my resistance Is lying on the floor Taking me to places I've never been before
Ooh, and I can feel it, (feel it) Feel it, (feel it) Feel it, (feel it) Feel it
Way down where the music plays Way down like a tidal wave Way down where the fires blaze Way down, down, way, way on down
Ooh, my head is spinnin' You got me in your spell, A hundred magic fingers On a whirling carousel The medicine within me No doctor could prescribe Your love is doing something That I just can't describe
Ooh, and I can feel it, (feel it) Feel it, (feel it) Feel it, (feel it) Feel it
Way down where the music plays Way down like a tidal wave Way down where the fires blaze Way down, down, way, way on down
Hold me again, Tight as you can I need you so, Baby, let's go
Way down where it feels so good Way down where I hoped it would Way down where I never could Way down, down, way, way on down (Way on downnnnnnn)
A World I Never Made Composer(s): Doc Pomus - Mac Rebennack Performer(s): B.B. King and multiple other artists
The late show is over And the city is fast asleep And I'm lost in a world That's just too cold and deep I've turned so many ways I'm spinning like a top I wish that I could get off Or get this world to stop
I'm a stranger and afraid I'm a stranger and afraid I'm a stranger and afraid In a world I never made
I'm always chasing dragons With a sword that's made of tin So I know in my soul There's no way I can win I tried, oh I tried But there's no place, no place to go There's no one here who knows me And no one here I know
I'm a stranger and afraid I'm a stranger and afraid I'm a stranger and afraid In a world I never made
A World Full Of Strangers Composer(s): Will Jennings - Joe Sample Performer(s): B.B. King
You and me don't see eye to eye On every little thing We've missed a lot of sunshine And caught a lot of rain If you want to leave I can't make you stay But there is something I have to say
No matter how high you get Or how low you go There's one thing darling You ought to know
There's a world full of strangers out there A world full of strangers Beware There's a world full of strangers out there And if it gets too strange Just come on home
Restless hearts, looking for a love Are waiting in the street They're all prepared to give you The bitter with the sweet If you wake someday and you reach for me Well you know, this is where I'll be
No matter how high you get Or how low you go There's one thing darling You ought to know
There's a world full of strangers out there A world full of strangers Beware There's a world full of strangers out there And if it gets too strange Just come on home
A word or two to Mary, please write a letter for me That's what my buddy said to me today I couldn't keep from cryin', sad eyes are looking at me He said, I'll tell you what I wanted to say
Oh, I don't mind dyin', I just hate to leave you alone And I wish that I could watch the children grow But there's no use denyin', I won't be comin' home Just a word or two to you before I go
Down on my knees beside him, I begged my buddy to live I told the Lord to please take me instead But a word or two to Mary was all my buddy could give And just these words were all your husband said
Oh, I don't mind dyin', I just hate to leave you alone And I wish that I could watch the children grow But there's no use denyin', I won't be coming back home Just a word or two to you before I go
A word or two to Mary, I must add some of my own He was the truest friend I ever had I'll keep writing letters to her to help the children along Tell them in a way that it's from their Dad
He didn't mind dyin', he just hated to leave you alone And he wished that he could see his children grow I'll be standing by them as I know he'd want me to And write a word or two to Mary as they grow And write a word or two to Mary as they grow
Wave Composer(s): Antonio Carlos Jobim Performer(s): Tom Jobin
Vou te contar Os olhos já não podem ver Coisas que só o coração pode entender Fundamental é mesmo o amor É impossivel ser feliz sozinho O resto é mar É tudo que não sei contar São coisas lindas Que eu tenho pra te dar Fundamental é mesmo o amor É impossivel ser feliz sozinho Da primeira vez era a cidade Da segunda o cais e a eternidade Agora eu já sei Da onda que se ergueu no mar E das estrelas que esquecemos de contar O amor se deixa surpreender Enquanto a noite vem nos envolver
A Word In Spanish Composer(s): Elton John - Bernie Taupin Performer(s): Elton John
I don't know why I just know I do I just can't explain In this language that I use Something leaves me speechless Each time that you approach Each time you glide right through me As if I was a ghost
If I only could tell you If you only would listen I've got a line or two to use on you I've got a romance we could christen
And there's a word in Spanish I don't understand But I heard it in a film one time spoken by the leading man He said it with devotion, he sounded so sincere And the words he spoke in Spanish brought the female lead to tears A word in Spanish, a word in Spanish
If you can't comprehend Read it in my eyes If you don't understand it's love In a thin disguise And what it takes to move you Each time that you resist Is more than just a pretty face To prove that I exist
When manners make no difference And my gifts all lay undone I trade my accent in on chance And fall back on a foreign tongue
Wave Composer(s): Antonio Carlos Jobim Performer(s): Frank Sinatra
So close your eyes For that's a lovely way to be Aware of things your heart alone was meant to see The fundamental loneliness goes whenever two can dream a dream together
You can't deny don't try to fight the rising sea Don't fight the moon, the stars above and don't fight me The fundamental loneliness goes whenever two can dream a dream together
When I saw you first the time was halfpast three When your eyes met mine it was eternity
By now we know the wave is on its way to be Just catch the wave don't be afraid of loving me The fundamental loneliness goes whenever two can dream a dream together
When I saw you first the time was halfpast three When your eyes met mine it was eternity
By now we know the wave is on its way to be Just catch that wave don't be afraid of loving me The fundamental loneliness goes whenever two can dream a dream together

Waters Of March ((Adapted from: Águas De Março (by Antônio Carlos Jobim) - 1972)) Composer(s): Antônio Carlos Jobim Performer(s): Antônio Carlos Jobim - 1972 and multiple other artists
Versions In Other Languages: 1973 - Les Eaux De Mars (by Georges Moustaki) 1973 - La Pioggia Di Marzo (by Mina)
A stick, a stone It's the end of the road It's the rest of a stump It's a little alone
It's a sliver of glass It is life, it's the sun It is night, it is death It's a trap, it's a gun
The oak when it blooms A fox in the brush A knot in the wood The song of a thrush
The wood of the wind A cliff, a fall A scratch, a lump It is nothing at all
It's the wind blowing free It's the end of the slope It's a beam, it's a void It's a hunch, it's a hope
And the river bank talks of the waters of March It's the end of the strain The joy in your heart
The foot, the ground The flesh and the bone The beat of the road A slingshot's stone
A fish, a flash A silvery glow A fight, a bet The range of a bow
The bed of the well The end of the line The dismay in the face It's a loss, it's a find
A spear, a spike A point, a nail A drip, a drop The end of the tale
A truckload of bricks in the soft morning light The shot of a gun in the dead of the night
A mile, a must A thrust, a bump It's a girl, it's a rhyme It's a cold, it's the mumps
The plan of the house The body in bed And the car that got stuck It's the mud, it's the mud
Afloat, adrift A flight, a wing A hawk, a quail The promise of spring
And the riverbank talks of the waters of March It's the promise of life It's the joy in your heart
A stick, a stone It's the end of the road It's the rest of a stump It's a little alone
A snake, a stick It is John, it is Joe It's a thorn in your hand and a cut in your toe
A point, a grain A bee, a bite A blink, a buzzard A sudden stroke of night
A pin, a needle A sting, a pain A snail, a riddle A wasp, a stain
A pass in the mountains A horse and a mule In the distance the shelves rode three shadows of blue
And the riverbank talks of the waters of March It's the promise of life in your heart, in your heart
A stick, a stone The end of the road The rest of a stump A lonesome road
A sliver of glass A life, the sun A knife, a death The end of the run
And the riverbank talks of the waters of March It's the end of all strain It's the joy in your heart
A Wonderful Day In A One Day World Performer(s): Peter Gabriel
A Wonderful Day In A One Day World Saturday is shopping day and I drive my car but there's no place to park it No respect for supermen in the supermarket I guess there must be trouble but I've not been alerted Looking round the store, it was all deserted And I'm stranded here with my empty basket So full of questions but nowhere to ask it
By the one way out, strange voice shouts "Don't let that good man out!" "Have a wonderful day in our one-way world One way, one day Have a wonderful day in our one-way world One way, one day One-way man, one-way mind, get along with mankind"
There's an old man on the floor so I summon my charm I say, "Hey scumbag, has there been an alarm?" He says "Yeah, I been selling off eternal youth They all got afraid, 'cos I'm the living proof My name is Einstein, do you know time is a curve?" I said, "Stop, old man! You've got a nerve 'cos there's only one rule that I observe Time is money, and money I serve"
By the one way out, strange voice shouts "Don't let that good man out!" "Have a wonderful day in our one-way world One way, one day Have a wonderful day in our one-way world One way, one day One-way man, one-way mind, get along with mankind"
