    After I Say I'm Sorry
    Composer(s): Abe Lyman - Walter Donaldson
    Performer(s): Frank Sinatra
    and multiple other artists



    What can I do to prove it to you that I'm sorry
    I didn't mean to ever be mean to you
    If I didn't care I wouldn't feel like I do
    I was so wrong, right or wrong I don't blame you
    Why should I take somebody like you and shame you
    I know that I made you cry and I'm so sorry dear
    So what can I say dear after I say I'm sorry
    Baby I'm so, I'm sorry
    Got to prove that I'm so sorry
    I made you cry and I'm so sorry dear
    What can I say dear, what can I do
    What can I say, what can I do after I say I'm sorry

    What Makes A Man ((Adapted from: Comme Ils Disent (Charles Aznavour) - 1972)) Composer(s): Charles Aznavour - Bradford Craig Performer(s): Charles Aznavour - 1972

    Versions In Other Languages: 1972 - Wie Sie Sagen (Charles Aznavour) 1972 - Quello Che Si Dice (Charles Aznavour) 1996 - Como Dicen (Charles Aznavour)



    My mum and I we live alone
    A great apartment is our home
    In Fairhome Towers
    I have to keep me company
    Two dogs, a cat, a parakeet
    Some plants and flowers
    I help my mother with the chores
    I wash, she dries, I do the floors
    We work together
    I shop and cook and sow a bit
    Though mum does too I must admit
    I do it better
    At night I work in a strange bar
    Impersonating every star
    I'm quite deceiving
    The customers come in with doubt
    And wonder what I'm all about
    But leave believing
    I do a very special show
    Where I am nude from head to toe
    After stripteasing
    Each night the men look so surprised
    I change my sex before their eyes
    Tell me if you can
    What makes a man a man

    At 3 o'clock or so I meet
    With friends to have a bite to eat
    And conversation
    We love to empty out our hearts
    With every subject from the arts
    To liberation
    We love to pull apart someone
    And spread some gossip just for fun
    Or start a rumour
    We let our hair down, so to speak
    And mock ourselves with tongue-in-cheek
    And inside humour
    So many times we have to pay
    For having fun and being gay
    It's not amusing
    There's always those that spoil our games
    By finding fault and calling names
    Always accusing
    They draw attention to themselves
    At the expense of someone else
    It's so confusing
    Yet they make fun of how I talk
    And imitate the way I walk
    Tell me if you can
    What makes a man a man

    My masquerade comes to an end
    And I go home to bed again
    Alone and friendless
    I close my eyes, I think of him
    I fantasise what might have been
    My dreams are endless
    We love each other but it seems
    The love is only in my dreams
    It's so one sided
    But in this life I must confess
    The search for love and hapiness
    Is unrequited
    I ask myself what I have got
    Of what I am and what I'm not
    What have I given
    The answers come from those who make
    The rules that some of us must break
    Just to keep living
    I know my life is not a crime
    I'm just a victim of my time
    I stand defenceless
    Nobody has the right to be
    The judge of what is right for me
    Tell me if you can
    What make a man a man

    Tell me if you can
    Tell me if you can
    Tell me if you can
    What makes a man a man

    After Hours
    Composer(s): Lou Reed
    First release by: The Velvet Underground - 1969
    Covered by multiple other artists



    One, two, three
    If you close the door
    The night could last forever
    Leave the sunshine out
    And say hello to never

    All the people are dancing
    And they’re having such fun
    I wish it could happen to me

    But if you close the door
    I’d never have to see the day again

    If you close the door
    The night could last forever
    Leave the wine-glass out
    And drink a toast to never

    Oh, someday I know
    Someone will look into my eyes
    And say hello
    You’re my very special one

    But if you close the door
    I’d never have to see the day again

    Dark party bars, shiny cadillac cars
    And the people on subways and trains
    Looking gray in the rain, as they stand disarrayed
    Oh, but people look well in the dark

    And if you close the door
    The night could last forever
    Leave the sunshine out
    And say hello to never

    All the people are dancing
    And they’re having such fun
    I wish it could happen to me

    'Cause if you close the door
    I’d never have to see the day again
    I’d never have to see the day again, once more
    I’d never have to see the day again

    What Kind Of People Are They?
    Composer(s): John Entwistle
    Performer(s): John Entwistle



    When you're hungry and your stomach's feeling thin
    You find the nearest restaurant and walk right in
    Says the waiter with a sigh
    You're not dressed without a tie
    And you bite your lips to keep the swear words in

    What kind of people are they?
    What kind of people are they?
    They've only got their jobs to do
    That's why they've got it in for you -- you

    Have you ever sat behind a traffic jam
    When you'd get there quicker if you walked or ran
    When you finally get out
    At the front of it no doubt
    You'll find a policeman causing chaos with his hand

    What kind of people are they?
    What kind of people are they?
    They've only got their jobs to do
    That's why they've got it in for you -- you

    When you park your car in some deserted street
    Give the parking meter sixpences to eat
    When the money's been digested
    You'll find that you just invested
    In the profits of a traffic warden's beat

    After Halloween
    Composer(s): Sandy Denny
    Performer(s): Fairport Convention; Sandy Denny



    Red and gold, and Halloween have passed us by
    The charcoal branches lean against the rosy sky
    You are so far away, yet I could touch you if I may
    But don't you worry now, I'm only dreaming anyway

    You may be lonely, you may be just on your own
    You could be anywhere, someplace that I have known
    But who am I and do we really live these days at all?
    And are they simply feelings we have loved and do recall?

    Oh the sea has made me cry
    But I love her, too, so maybe I love you

    For tears are only made of salt and water
    And across the waves the sound of laughter
    October it has gone and left me with a song
    That I will sing to you although the moment may be wrong

    Could it be the sea's as real as you and I?
    I often wonder why I always have to say
    I'm only dreaming anyway

    Could it be the sea's as real as you and I?
    I often wonder why I always have to say
    I'm only dreaming anyway

    What Kind Of Man Would I Be?
    Composer(s): Bobby Caldwell; Chas Sandford; Jason Scheff
    Performer(s): Chicago



    Girl, well, it's been one of those days again
    And it seems like the harder I try
    Over and over, I'm right back where I began
    But you understand
    Oh, girl, when nothing else in this world goes right
    Oh, I just want to run to you
    You pull me through
    Oh, baby, who wouldn't wanna have you in their lives?

    Tell me, what kind of man would I be?
    Living a life without any meaning
    And I know you could surely survive without me
    But if I have to live without you
    Tell me, what kind of man would I be?

    Times when it was pointless for me to try
    I was more than a desperate man
    What seemed like forever
    Was gone with one touch of your hand
    Oh, girl, if I could count all the sleepless nights
    When you were there for me
    A broken chain

    Woh, baby, Once I had found you there was no letting go

    Tell me, what kind of man would I be?
    Living a life without any meaning
    And I know you could surely survive without me
    But if I have to live without you
    Tell me, what kind of man would I be?

    Tell me, what kind of man would I be?
    Living a life without any meaning
    And I know you could surely survive without me
    But if I have to live without you
    Tell me, what kind of man would I be?

    What kind of man would I be?
    Living a life without any meaning
    And I know you could surely survive without me
    But if I have to live without you
    Tell me, what kind of man
    Tell me, what kind of man
    Tell me, what kind of man would I be?
    (What kind of man would I be?)
    Tell me, what kind of man would I be?
    (What kind of man would I be?)

    After Forever
    ((Latin Version: Post Aeternitatem (by Rondellus) - 2002))
    Composer(s): Tony Iommi - Ozzy Osbourne - Geezer Butler - Bill Ward
    First release by: Black Sabbath - 1971
    Covered by multiple other artists



    Have you ever thought about your soul - can it be saved?
    Or perhaps you think that when you're dead you just stay in your grave
    Is God just a thought within your head or is he a part of you?
    Is Christ just a name that you read in a book when you were in school?

    When you think about death do you lose your breath or do you keep your cool?
    Would you like to see the Pope on the end of a rope - do you think he's a fool?
    Well I have seen the truth, yes I've seen the light and I've changed my ways
    And I'll be prepared when you're lonely and scared at the end of our days

    Could it be you're afraid of what your friends might say
    If they knew you believe in God above?
    They should realize before they criticize
    that God is the only way to love

    Is your mind so small that you have to fall
    In with the pack wherever they run
    Will you still sneer when death is near
    And say they may as well worship the sun?

    I think it was true it was people like you that crucified Christ
    I think it is sad the opinion you had was the only one voiced
    Will you be so sure when your day is near, say you don't believe?
    You had the chance but you turned it down, now you can't retrieve

    Perhaps you'll think before you say that God is dead and gone
    Open your eyes, just realize that he's the one
    The only one who can save you now from all this sin and hate
    Or will you still jeer at all you hear? Yes! I think it's too late

    Performer(s): Joey Dee & The Starliters



    What kind of love is this that makes me wanna jump and shout?
    I wanna know what kind of love is this that turns my heart inside out?
    It's that itchy-twitchy feelin' that I have inside
    Something overwhelming that I just can't hide
    I wanna know (oh, yeah) whoa, yeah (oh, yeah) whoa, tell me (oh, yeah)
    (What kind of love is this?)
    What kind of love is this?

    What kind of love is this that haunts me every day?
    I wanna know what kind of love is this that makes me say the things I say?
    Well, I'm walkin' around and grinnin' with my head in the air
    The people think I'm crazy but I just don't care
    I wanna know (oh, yeah) whoa, yeah (oh, yeah) whoa, tell me (oh, yeah)
    (What kind of love is this?)
    What kind of love is this?

    Well, I feel like a man in outer space
    I'm actin' like a psycho case
    Hey, girl, stop this feelin'
    Look at me, you've got me rockin' and a-reelin'!

    Yeah, what kind of love is this, aw, that shakes me up so bad?
    I wanna know what kind of love is this?, yeah, my situation is sad
    Well, I just can't understand it, it just ain't real
    I know no one has ever felt the way I feel
    I wanna know (oh, yeah) whoa, yeah (oh, yeah) whoa, tell me (oh, yeah)
    (What kind of love is this?)
    What kind of love is this?

    (What kind of love is this?)

    Performer(s): Rondellus - 2002



    Cogitasti tu de animo tuo?
    Servabitur?
    An fortasse putas: sepultus cum es
    in sepulchre manes?
    Videturne Deus tibi fictio?
    An est Deus tui pars?
    Est Christus vel vox quae stat libris his
    scholasticis tuis?

    Cum videbitur mors
    terrebitne haec sors? An est quietum cor?
    Fortasse velis, pontifex ut necatus sit?
    Habes eum stultum?
    Ego verum scio
    Ego lucem scio motari que modos
    Praeparavi me, tu cum solus sis
    deterritus exitu tuo

    Fortasse times, quid amici dicant
    si sciant: tu credis caelestio Deo
    Antequam me mordent, etiam videant
    Deum esse solam amandi viam

    Esne mens tibi tarn pusilla, ut iam
    erroribus captus sis iterum?
    An rides turn, cum adest mors?
    An dicis turn, ut colatur vel sol?

    Id puto verum
    crucifigunt Deum hi tui similes
    Id puto triste
    Turn opiniun tua vicit omnia mea
    Esne certus etiam, tuus dies cum adest?
    Ain' non credere te?
    Tibi erat sors sed rejecta est
    Si quild mutes nunc

    Fortasse pulas antequant dicas
    Deum esse martuum
    Oculos nunc aperi tuos: est solus Deus
    qui potest te hinc redimere
    ab omni peccato
    An irrides omnia quae audis?
    Sero est, sero est

    and various other artists



    What kind of fool am I
    Who never fell in love
    It seems that I'm the only one
    that I have been thinking of

    What kind of man is this?
    An empty shell
    A lonely cell in which
    an empty heart must dwell

    What kind of lips are these
    That lied with every kiss
    That whispered empty words of love
    that left me alone like this

    Why can't I fall in love
    Like any other man
    And maybe then I'll know what kind of fool I am

    What kind of clown am I?
    What do I know of life?
    Why can't I cast away the mask of play
    and live my life?

    Why can't I fall in love
    Till I don't give a damn
    And maybe then
    I'll know what kind of fool I am

    After one long year I was watching you baby
    After two long years you was driving me crazy
    After three long years you know you still looked fine
    After four long years I was out of my mind
    After five long years I'm gonna make love to you

    After one long year you had me lonesome and blue
    After two long years I was begging you
    After three long years you wouldn't change your mind
    After four long years but I kept on trying
    After five long years I'm gonna make love to you

    After one long year I tried to be cool
    After two long years I was just your tool
    After three long years I was on the spot
    After four long years well look what you got
    After five long years I'm gonna make love to you

    What Kind Of Fool Am I?
    Composer(s): Rick Springfield
    Performer(s): Rick Springfield



    I wonder who she’s seeing tonight
    Is she really going out with him
    He’s not her type
    And doing all the things she used to do to me
    Well, I’d say something to her
    But I get so jealous
    When I think of her loving somebody else
    That I can’t think why we ever let go
    I must have been crazy

    Tell me what kind of fool am I
    To just let go,
    To just let go like that
    What kind of fool am I
    To lose you

    She was cold sometimes
    But she made me feel alive
    She was such a spoiled baby
    But baby, she could love
    And she loved me like nobody ever will again
    I thought we’d be together
    When the world ran down
    When the curtain fell and the lights came up
    But the gods or whatever make the world go round
    Shuffled when they should have cut

    Tell me what kind of fool am I
    To just let go
    To just let go like that
    What kind of fool am I
    To lose you

    Did it come too easy to the two of us
    Did we go too wrong to ever make it right
    Were we too busy checking out the left hand
    That we didn’t see the right

    Tell me what kind of fool am I
    To just let go
    To just let go like that
    What kind of fool am I

    Oh baby, please, oh baby, please come back
    I meant to say in time
    Baby we could work it out
    But I never meant to say goodbye

    Tell me what kind of fool am I
    What kind of fool am I
    What kind of fool am I
    To lose you

    Composer(s): Harry Mills
    Performer(s): Ray Price



    Nights are longer when you're blue and all alone
    Seems eternity will pass before the dawn
    I've tried ev'rything, but I can't seem to lose
    All these after effects from lovin' you

    Now I may tell myself that I'll find an easy way
    To escape this misery from day to day
    But my heart knows good and well, it's only you
    Who can ease my troubled mind
    And erase the pain they find
    From the after effects of loving you

    Now I may tell myself that I'll find an easy way
    To escape this misery from day to day
    But my heart knows good and well, it's only you
    Who can ease my troubled mind
    And erase the pain you find

    Do you think I am now (Do you think I am?)

    What kind of fool did you think I'd be
    You said you really really loved me
    Darling you run around all over town
    You build me up then you let me down

    What kind of fool (Do you think I am?)
    Do you think I am now? (Do you think I am?)

    I ain't gonna be your second choice
    I've got to be your number one
    Or I ain't gonna love you at all

    Darling you run around all over town
    You build me up then you let me down

    What kind of fool (Do you think I am?)
    Do you think I am now (Do you think I am?)
    (Do you) Think I am?

    Darling you can't think that
    Darling I'm no fool
    What kind of foo-oo-ool

    Grandpa Can't Fly His Kite
    Composer(s): Clarence Carter - Pat Cooley
    Performer(s): Clarence Carter



    I went down to the bar to have myself a drink
    'Cause Grandpa had given me some news and I had to think
    The bartender said "Have a drink of gin, 'cause drinkin' gin ain't no sin"
    But I told the bartender that drinkin' gin won't let your nature bend

    Grandpa can't fly his kite
    'Cause Grandma won't give it no tail, no
    So you see, I've got to use what Mother Nature gave me
    Before Father Time takes it away, yeah

    The mother rabbit told the father rabbit
    She said "Sex ain't nothin' but a habit"
    The father rabbit told the mother rabbit
    "Well, baby, shoot the habit to me rabbit"

    The male bee makes love to the queen bee
    Until she cries
    He knows when he finishes makin' love to her
    He's surely gonna die.

    But you see, Grandpa can't fly his kite
    'Cause Grandma won't give it no tail, no
    So I'm gonna use what Mother Nature gave me
    Before Father Time takes it away, yeah

    I told you, I got sixteen inches
    And it's four inches thick
    And the first day I don't need love
    I'll take gravely sick

    I feel sorry for Grandpa
    Because I know what he wants to do
    And that's how come I came over to your house
    Because I got to make love to you

    You see, Grandpa can't fly his kite
    'Cause Grandma won't give no tail, no, shake it
    So I got to use what Mother Nature gave me
    Before Father Time takes it away, yeah

    I went to see my doctor, just the other day
    He said, "Clar, you won't last too long if you don't slow down the pace"
    I said, "Listen, doctor, good lovin' ain't no sin
    But if that good stuff kill me, then let me go with the breeze"

    Grandpa can't fly his kite
    'Cause Grandma won't give no tail, no
    So I got to use what Mother Nature gave me
    Before Father Time takes it away, yeah

    One more ...

    Grandpa and Grandma were layin' in the bed
    And Grandpa turned over, and this is what he said.
    He said, "Wake up Grandma, don't sleep so damned sly
    'Cause that ain't what you promised when we first laid down"

    Grandpa can't fly his kite
    'Cause Grandma won't give no tail, yeah, yeah,yeah
    So I got to use what Mother Nature gave me
    Before Father Time takes it away, yeah

    What It Was, Was Football
    Composer(s): Andy Griffith
    Performer(s): Andy Griffith



    It was back last October, I believe it was
    We was going to hold a tent service off at this college town
    and we got there about dinner time on Saturday
    Different ones of us thought that we ought to get us a mouthful to eat
    before we set up the tent
    So we got off the truck and followed this little bunch of people
    through this small little bitty patch of woods there
    and we came up on a big sign that says
    "Get something to Eat Here"

    I went up and got me two hot dogs and a big orange drink
    and before I could take a mouthful of that food
    this whole raft of people come up around me
    and got me to where I couldn't eat nothing, up like
    and I dropped my big orange drink
    Well, friends, they commenced to move
    and there wasn't so much that I could do but move with them

    Well, we commenced to go through all kinds of doors and gates and I don't know what all
    and I looked up over one of 'em and it says, "North Gate"
    We kept on a-going through there
    and pretty soon we come up on a young boy and he says, "Ticket, please"
    And I says, "Friend, I don't have a ticket
    I don't even know where it is that I'm a-going!"
    Well, he says, "Come on out as quick as you can"
    And I says, "I'll do 'er; I'll turn right around the first chance I get"

    Well, we kept on a-moving through there
    and pretty soon everybody got where it was that they was a-going
    because they parted and I could see pretty good
    And what I seen was this whole raft of people a-sittin' on these two banks
    and a-lookin at one another across this pretty little green cow pasture

    Somebody had took and drawed white lines all over it and drove posts in it
    and I don't know what all
    and I looked down there and I seen five or six convicts a running up and down
    and a-blowing whistles
    And then I looked down there and I seen these pretty girls
    wearin' these little bitty short dresses
    and a-dancing around, and so I thought I'd sit down
    and see what it was that was a-going to happen

    About the time I got set down good I looked down there
    and I seen thirty or forty men come a-runnin' out of one end
    of a great big outhouse down there
    and everybody where I was a-settin' got up and hollered!
    And I asked this fella that was a sittin' beside of me
    "Friend, what is it that they're a-hollerin' for?
    Well, he whopped me on the back and he says
    "Buddy, have a drink!" I says
    "Well, I believe I will have another big orange
    I got it and set back down

    When I got there again I seen
    that the men had got in two little bitty bunches down there
    real close together, and they voted
    They elected one man apiece
    and them two men come out in the middle of that cow pasture
    and shook hands like they hadn't seen one another in a long time
    Then a convict came over to where they was a-standin'
    and he took out a quarter and they commenced to odd man right there!
    After a while I seen what it was they was odd-manning for
    It was that both bunchesfull of them wanted this funny lookin little pumpkin to play with
    And I know, friends, that they couldn't eat it because they kicked it the whole evenin'
    and it never busted

    Both bunchesful wanted that thing
    One bunch got it and it made the other bunch just as mad as they could be!
    Friends, I seen that evenin' the awfulest fight that I ever have seen in all my life !!
    They would run at one -another and kick one- another
    and throw one another down and stomp on one another
    and grind their feet in one another and I don't know what all
    and just as fast as one of 'em would get hurt
    they'd take him off and run another one on!!

    Well, they done that as long as I set there, but pretty soon this boy that had said
    "Ticket, please." He come up to me and said
    "Friend, you're gonna have to leave because it is that you don't have a ticket"
    And I says, "Well, all right"
    And I got up and left

    I don't know friends, to this day
    what it was that they was a doin' down there, but I have studied about it
    I think it was that it's some kindly of a contest
    where they see which bunchful of them men can take that pumpkin
    and run from one end of that cow pasture to the other
    without gettin' knocked down or steppin' in somethin'

    After Dark
    Composer(s): Barry Gibb
    Performer(s): Andy Gibb



    There's not anything I would not do to ease your troubled mind
    Where you are, there is a different feeling
    I wake up, I'm on the ceilin', opens up your eyes
    What a shape! Someone you can't forget for any time
    Oh, let me show you mine, immediately

    After dark where the lights start fading sweet and low
    I wanna be there, I wanna be there
    We leave immediately
    After dark where the lights start fading sweet and low
    I wanna be there, I wanna be there
    We leave immediately
    After dark

    There is no limit that I would not go
    if I could lie beside
    Where you are, there is a different out there
    Love in the jungle can be hard to realize
    What a shape ! Someone you can't forget for any time
    Oh, let me show you mine immediately

    After dark where the lights are fading sweet and low
    I wanna be there, I wanna be there
    We leave immediately
    After dark where the lights are fading sweet and low
    I wanna be there, I wanna be there
    We leave immediately
    After dark

    There is not anything I would not do to ease your troubled mind
    Where you are, there is a different feeling
    I wake up, I'm on the ceilin', opens up your eyes
    What a shape! Someone you can't forget for any time
    Oh, let me show you mine immediately

    After dark where the lights start fading sweet and low
    I wanna be there, I wanna be there
    We leave immediately
    After dark where the lights start fading sweet and low
    I wanna be there, I wanna be there
    We leave immediately
    After dark

    After dark where the lights start fading sweet and low
    I wanna be there, I wanna be there
    We leave immediately
    After dark where the lights start fading sweet and low
    I wanna be there, I wanna be there
    We leave immediately
    After dark ...

    What It Is
    Composer(s): Mark Knopfler
    Performer(s): Mark Knopfler



    The drinking dens are spilling out
    There’s staggering in the square
    There’s lads and lasses falling about
    And a crackling in the air
    Down around the dungeon doors
    The shelters in the queues
    Everybody’s looking for
    Somebody’s arms to fall into
    And it’s what it is
    It’s what it is now

    There’s frost on the graves and the monuments
    But the taverns are warm in town
    People curse the government
    And shovel hot food down
    The lights are out in city hall
    The castle and the keep
    The moon shines down upon it all
    The legless and asleep

    And it’s cold on a tollgate
    With the wagons creeping through
    Cold on a tollgate
    God knows what I could do with you
    And it’s what it is
    It’s what it is now

    The garrison sleeps and the citadel
    With the ghosts and the ancient stones
    High on the parapet
    A scottish piper stands alone
    And high on the wind
    The highland drums begin to roll
    And something from the past just comes
    And stares into my soul

    And it’s cold on a tollgate
    Where the caledonian blues
    Cold on a tollgate
    God knows what I could do with you
    And it’s what it is
    It’s what it is now
    What it is
    It’s what it is now

    There’s a chink of light
    There’s a burning wick
    There’s a lantern in the tower
    Wee willie winkie with a candlestick
    Still writing songs in the wee wee hours
    On charlotte street I take
    A walking stick from my hotel
    The ghost of dirty dick
    Is still in search of little nell
    And it’s what it is
    It’s what it is now
    Oh it’s what it is
    What it is now

    After All You Said
    Composer(s): Roger Steen - Fee Waybill
    Performer(s): The Tubes



    I guess you're still too wild
    after all you said
    and did not mean

    What hides behind the smile
    after all you said
    and made believe

    Riding line doesn't sound so bad
    Just the wide open spaces
    Lots of time to reflect the past
    Lots of time to forget your face

    Someone
    I thought we talked about it all
    Somewhere
    Who wrote the writing on the wall
    Somehow
    It just took some time to reveal
    Someone
    The lies were painfully real

    Imagine for so long
    after all you said
    and would not say
    Illusions are all wrong
    after all you said
    and could explain

    Riding line doesn't sound so bad
    Just the wide open spaces

    Someone
    I thought we talked about it all
    Somewhere
    Who wrote the writing on the wall
    Somehow
    It just took some time to reveal
    Someone
    The lies were painfully real

    No more tears
    after all you said

    Can't expect the clouds to clear
    if you're left in darkness
    Your reflection's not in the mirror
    I suspect you're heartless

    What Is Wrong, What Is Right
    Composer(s): Keith Hopwood; Derek Leckenby; Harvey Lisberg
    Performer(s): Herman's Hermits



    She's stroking her cat with her silken fingers
    A would-be charmer whose life's incomplete
    I'm working so hard to try and get to know her
    Her parents say who she sees and who she meets

    Always on her own
    Walking through the city
    Doesn't want to know
    If anyone should try to pick her up
    She'll put them down

    She only drinks at the dining table
    She's not allowed to stay up late at night
    Her only joy is the riding stable
    Her parents say what is wrong and what is right

    Always on her own
    Walking through the city
    Doesn't want to know
    If anyone should try to pick her up
    She'll put them down

    The day will come when she'll see the time she's wasted
    She's twenty-one and without their guiding light
    There's so many things that she's never tasted
    Who'll be there to say what is wrong and what is right
