Age
Composer(s): Jim Croce - Ingrid Croce
Performer(s): Jim Croce



I've been up and down and around and 'round and back again
I've been so many places I can't remember where or when
And my only boss was the clock on the wall and my only friend
Never really was a friend at all

I've traded love for pennies, sold my soul for less
Lost my ideals in that long tunnel of time
I've turned inside out and around about and back and then
Found myself right back where I started again

Once I had myself a million, now I've only got a dime
The diff'rence don't seem quite as bad today
With a nickel or a million, I was searching all the time
For something that I never lost or left behind

I've traded love for pennies, sold my soul for less
Lost my ideals in that long tunnel of time
I've turned inside out and around about and back and then
Found myself right back where I started again

And Now I'm in my second circle and I'm headin' for the top
I've learned a lot of things along the way
I'll be careful while I'm climbin' 'cause it hurts a lot to drop
When your down nobody gives a damn anyway

I've traded love for pennies, sold my soul for less
Lost my ideals in that long tunnel of time
I've turned inside out and around about and back and then
Found myself right back where I started again

What's the use of getting sober 
When you're gonna get drunk again
Oh Sam done something fine 
When he bought that good whiskey, beer and wine 
I love my whiskey and I love my gin 
Every time you see me I'm in my sin 
So what's the use of getting sober
When you're gonna get drunk again 

I went out last night about half past one 
Thought I'd whoop it up a little and have some fun
I got me a half pint about half past two 
Mmm, mmm, the way I was feeling you know what I wanna do 
Got me a pint about half past four 
Felt so good, went out and got me some more 
Got me a quart about half past five 
Boy, that was so nice didn't know if I was dead or alive 

So what's the use of getting sober If you're gonna get drunk again 
Oh Sam done something fine 
When he bought that good whiskey, beer and wine 
I love my whiskey and I love my gin 
Every time you see me I'm in my sin 
So what's the use of getting sober 
When you're gonna get drunk again 

Well I've been thinking 
But I keep drinking 
I guess I'm 'bout lose my mind

Agata
Composer(s): Nino Ferrer
Performer(s): Nino Ferrer



Je me ronge les ongles depuis que j'ai cessé d'fumer
Je n'y vois rien, je n'ai pas de lunettes: je suis fauché
Je n'touche pas à mon salaire, je vis comme un misérable
J'ai des trous dans mes chaussettes, et les talons éculés
J'épargne et j'économise pour pouvoir te contenter
Et toi, tu fais l'infidèle avec le patron d'un café

Agata, tu me ruines
Agata, tu m'assassines
Agata, regarde, examine
Je suis un homme
Qui n'est plus
Qu'il était

Ça fait trois ans que je porte une chemise raccommodée
Et dans trois ans ce sera toujoure la même que j'porterai
Mon vieux costume bleu pétrole, on en vu de toutes les couleurs
Il est devenui verdâtre, c'était celui de pépé
Mon tailleur m'a dit: "Messieur, je n'peux plus le retourner
Je l'ai déjà fait six fois, il faudrait le mettre dans un musée"

Agata, tu me ruines
Agata, tu m'assassines
Agata, regarde, examine
Je suis un homme
Qui n'est plus
Qu'il était

J'ai réduit le repas quotidien sans hésiter
Un grand verre d'eau fraîche le matin, pas de café au lait
Quand je rentre au domicile, je ne trouve plus personne
Je soupire avec tristesse et me surprends à rêver
A quand nous jouions ensemble au docteur et aux fiancés
Maintenant je joue tout seul, mais c'est à plaisir frelaté

Agata, tu me ruines
Agata, tu m'assassines
Agata, regarde, examine
Je suis un homme
Qui n'est plus
Qu'il était

What's The Use Of Breaking Up?
Composer(s): Thom Bell; Jerry Butler; Kenny Gamble
Performer(s): Jerry Butler



Chorus: 
What's the use in breakin' up 
When you just turn around and make up? 

Oh you say you're tired and you're uninspired 
And you wanna leave me, oh baby 
The last time you felt that way 
Girl, you left me for a whole day 
Then you called me on the telephone (hey baby) 
In your sweet and your softest tone (hey baby) 
Askin' me "What should we do?" 
When you know all the time that I'm crazy about you 

(chorus x2) 

We had the same conversation 
Well it couldn't have been more than a week ago 
I said "Darlin', you're breakin' my heart 
And I don't see how I can take much more" 
I got up and walked out of the door (hey baby) 
Walked on down to the corner store (hey baby) 
And by the time what I said took in 
I turned right around and came back again 

(chorus x2) 

Girl, I guess we do it 'cause it's such a groove (hey baby) 
To find somethin' that you need to use (hey baby) 
Oh baby, I love you, I swear 
And ain't neither one of us goin' nowhere 

(chorus x2) 

You know that you and I both started 
And if we break up we will be broken hearted 
Let on I've always loved you 
And I think the whole world of you

Against The Wind
Composer(s): Bob Seger
First release by: Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band - 1980



It seems like yesterday
But it was long ago
Janey was lovely, she was the queen of my nights
There in the darkness with the radio playlng low
And the secrets that we shared
The mountains that we moved
Caught like a wildfire out of control
Till there was nothing left to burn and nothing left to prove
And I remember what she said to me
How she swore that it never would end
I remember how she held me oh so tight
Wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then

Against the wind
We were runnin' against the wind
We were young and strong, we were runnin'
against the wind

And the years rolled slowly past
And I found myself alone
Surrounded by strangers I thought were my friends
I found myself further and further from my home
And I guess I lost my way
There were oh so many roads
I was living to run and running to live
Never worried about paying or even how much I owed
Moving eight miles a minute for months at a time
Breaking all of the rules that would bend
I began to find myself searchin'
Searching for shelter again and again
Against the wind
A little something against the wind
I found myself seeking shelter against the wind

Well those drifters days are past me now
I've got so much more to think about
Deadlines and commitments
What to leave in, what to leave out

Against the wind
I'm still runnin' against the wind
Well I'm older now and still
Against the wind

What's The Reason (I'm Not Pleasin' You)

Coy Poe; Pinky Tomlin
Performer(s): Fats Waller; 
and various other artists



Everything I do, I do for no one else but you
And everything I get, I feel you ought to share it too
I want to be with you dear anywhere that you may go
But when I ask if you love me, you don't say yes or no

Why don't we get along
Everything I do is wrong
Tell me, what's the reason
I'm not pleasin' you

I may kiss you but then
You don't say Kiss me again
Tell me what's the reason
I'm not pleasin' you

If you must keep me in doubt
How will I know what to do
You can change me about
I'll be what you want me to

Though I try and I try
Still I never satisfy
Tell me what's the reason
I'm not pleasin' you

Against All Odds (Take A Look At Me Now)
Composer(s): Phil Collins
First release by: Phil Collins - 1984
Covered by multiple other artists



How can I just let you walk away, just let you leave without a trace 
When I stand here taking every breath with you, ooh 
You're the only one who really knew me at all 

How can you just walk away from me, when all I can do is watch you leave 
Cos we've shared the laughter and the pain, and even shared the tears 
You're the only one who really knew me at all 

So take a look at me now, 'cos there's just an empty space 
And there's nothing left here to remind me, just the memory of your face 
Take a look at me now, 'cos there's just an empty space 
And you coming back to me is against all odds and that's what I've got to face 

I wish I could just make you turn around, turn around and see me cry 
There's so much I need to say to you, so many reasons why 
You're the only one who really knew me at all 

So take a look at me now, 'cos there's just an empty space 
And there's nothing left here to remind me, just the memory of your face 
Take a look at me now, 'cos there's just an empty space 
But to wait for you, well that's all I can do and that's what I've got to face 
Take a good look at me now, 'cos I'll still be standing here 
And you coming back to me is against all odds 
That's the chance I've got to take, oh, oho 

Just take a look at me now

Again We Love
Composer(s): Billy Currie - Rusty Egan - Dave Formula - Steve Strange - Midge Ure
Performer(s): Visage



My shining hour has come upon me here
The moment lingers in my room
These words of mad music ringing clear
I drink them in but it's gone too soon
We cry 
We sigh 
Again we love

And in my sweating palm, I hold the key
The image déjà-vu's again
My head is spinning with a rhapsody
The moment's over but it's not the end
We cry 
We sigh 
Again we love

These passing shapes feel so cool to me
The taste of perfume in the air
The crystal shimmer of a blue sea
Sun kissed beaches, but there's no one there
We cry 
We sigh 
Again we love

What's The Good Of A Birthday (The Birthday Song)
Composer(s): L. Elliott
Performer(s): Gracie Fields



I've had a birthday come today, it's been a bit of a washout too
Though I had presents from everyone of the useful kind
Without much fun and a bit of a party do
Birthdays are jolly my mummy said
Ha-ha, mine's finished up being sent to bed
What's the good of a birthday if you can't have what you like
What's the good of a hankerchief to a fellow who wants a bike

They gave me a brush to clean me teeth and a tube of paste as well
And it wasn't the paste with the peppermint taste, it was a nasty carbollicky smell
So I squeezed all the paste on the carpet for fun
And I stood on the toothbrush so that break was done
And I won't use me hanky
I'll just let it run
What's the good of a birthday

And the birthday party too it wasn't much good to me
I'd honey sandwiches, then some jam, some trifle jelly with cream and jam
And seven big cups of tea
And just then I noticed a big pork pie - I couldn't have it - now I ask you why
What's the good of a birthday if you can't eat till you're sick
What's the good of a piece of cake if a fella can't have his pick

They told me I'd be a P.I.G. and that I'd best beware, ha-ha
I said P.I.G.'s are happier than me, so why should I bloomin'well care
Then I crept in the larder and guess what I got
A tin of sardines and I et all the lot, he-he
Then I showed them if I could be sick or not, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha, hoo-hoo
It was awful - all over the place

When I'd been sick they said that's that and me birthday they said was done
They washed me hands and washed me face, I was sent to bed
I was in disgrace - just as if being sick was fun
They took all me clothes from the bedroom
'Cause then they said I'd have to stay where I was
What's the good of a birthday if a fella's sent to bed
What's the good of a party, 'ey, if a fella's upstairs instead

The Reverend Brown, I knew was down in the dining room below
With Mrs Devine and Willy and Jean all laughing with Aunty Flo
I wandered and wanted to join in the din but I knew in pyjamas I mustn't go in
So I just took 'em off and went down in me skin, ha-ha-ha...
Ah, what's the good of a birthday if a fella can't have a joke
What's the good of a birthday suit if it shocks all the grown up folk

'Cause now I'm back in bed again and I've promised not to play any more pranks
'Cause mummy's cross and daddy's cross and when daddy's cross he spanks
So I'm lying in bed, I'm in more disgrace
And I'm smarting and smarting in one certain place
And I guess for tonight I should sleep on me face
What's the good of a birthday?

Again And Again
Composer(s): Rick Parfitt - Jackie Lynton - Andy Bown
First release by: Status Quo - 1978



Once upon a time not so very long ago
There wasn't such a thing as a rock'n roll-show
You had to sit at home and listen to the radio
Then came a man with a rockin' guitar

Found himself a beat and he pkayed it near and far
Everybody danced and sang and let the good times roll

Again and again
and again and again and again
And again and again
Why don't you do it
Why don't you do it again
Again and again and again ...

Travelled round the world in a rock and roll band
He stood like a giant with a guitar in his hand
Everybody danced and sang and let the good times roll
Nobody cared about the clothes he would wear 
Nobody cared about the colour of his hair
Everybody came to see and let the good times roll

Again and again

Now we've got the rhythm in us
now we've got the rock 
Time didn't matter
never living by the clock
Everybody came to hear him play his rock and roll
Then came a line when the music didn't rhyme
He couldn't find a rhythm
'cos he couldn't find the time
But still the people came to listen to the good times roll

Again and again

Again and again

Again and again and again and again
And again and again
Why don't you do it
Why don't you do it again
Why don't you do it 
Why don't you it again

What's So Easy For Two Is So Hard For One
Composer(s): Smokey Robinson
Performer(s): Mary Wells



Well well well well
Let's get together and go for a walk in the park
And while we're walking we can steal a little kiss in the dark
I wanna walk with you (I wanna walk with you)
I wanna talk with you (I wanna talk with you)
But it's up to you to say "Come on baby"
If you don't hurry up I'll go crazy
'Cause a walk in the park all alone is just no fun

Chorus:
What two can easily do, what two can easily do
Is so hard to be done by one

I'm sure that you know that I love you with all of my heart
But a love that's true really takes two to start
I wanna do my share (I wanna do my share)
To show you that I care (to show you that I care)
'Cause a one-sided love will never do
You gotta show me that you love me too
'Cause falling in love all alone is just no fun
(chorus)

One can build a love affair slowly
Two can build a love affair fast
One can make a love get started
Two can make it last

So come on and take me by the hand
Lead me up to the preacher man
Together we can do all the things that should be done
(repeat chorus)

Again
Composer(s): James Harris - Janet Jackson - Terry Lewis
Performer(s): Janet Jackson



I heard from a friend today
And she said you were in town
Suddenly the memories came back to me in
My mind

How can I be strong I've asked myself
Time and time I've said
That I'll never fall in love with you again

A wounded heart you gave
My soul you took away
Good intentions you had many
I know you did
I come from a place that hurts
an' God knows how I've cried
And I never want to return
Never fall again
Making love to you oh it felt so good and
Oh so right

How can I be strong I've asked myself
Time and time I've said
That I'll never fall in love with you again

So here we are alone again

Didn't think it'd come to this
And to know it all began
With just a little kiss
I've come too close to happiness
To have it swept away
Don't think I can take the pain
Never fall again
Kinda late in the game
And my heart is in your hands
Don't you stand there and then tell me
You love me
Then leave again
'Cause I'm falling in love with you again
Hold me, hold me
Don't ever let me go
Say it just one time
Say you love me
God knows I do love you again

What's New?
Composer(s): Johnny Burke; Bob Haggart
Performer(s): Linda Ronstadt;
and various other artists



What's new
How is the world treating you
You haven't changed a bit
Handsome as ever I must admit

What's new
How did that romance come through
We haven't met since then
Gee but it's nice to see you again

What's new
Probably I'm boring you
But seeing you is grand
And you were sweet to offer your hand
I understand

Adieu
Pardon my asking what's new
Of course you couldn't know
I haven't changed
I still love you so

Adieu
Pardon my asking what's new
Of course you couldn't know
I haven't changed
I still love you so

Again

Performer(s): Ida Lupino
and multiple other artists



Again, this couldn't happen again
This is that once in a lifetime
This is the thrill divine

What's more, this never happened before
Though I have prayed for a lifetime
That such as you would suddenly be mine

Mine to hold as I'm holding you now and yet never so near
Mine to have when the now and the here disappear
What matters, dear, for

When this doesn't happen again
We'll have this moment forever
But never, never again (never, never)
We'll have this moment for ever
But never, never again (never, never)

Agadoo-doo-doo, push pineapple, shake the tree
Agadoo-doo-doo, push pineapple, grind coffee
To the left, to the right, jump up and down and to the knees
Come and dance every night, sing with the hula melody

I met a hula mistress somewhere in Waikiki
Well, she was selling pineapple, playing ukulele
And when I went to the girl, "Come on and teach me to sway"
She laughed and whispered to me, "Yes, come tonight to the bay"

The lovely beach, in the sky the moon of Kauai
Around calypso sarong we'll all be singing this song

Agadoo-doo-doo, push pineapple, shake the tree
Agadoo-doo-doo, push pineapple, grind coffee
To the left, to the right, jump up and down and to the knees
Come and dance every night, sing with the hula melody

Agadoo-doo-doo, push pineapple, shake the tree
Agadoo-doo-doo, push pineapple, grind coffee
To the left, to the right, jump up and down and to the knees
Come and dance every night, sing with the hula melody

And down on the shore they gather romance
She showed me much more, not only to dance

Agadoo-doo-doo, push pineapple, shake the tree
Agadoo-doo-doo, push pineapple, grind coffee
To the left, to the right, jump up and down and to the knees
Come and dance every night, sing with the hula melody

Agadoo-doo-doo, push pineapple, shake the tree
Agadoo-doo-doo, push pineapple, grind coffee
To the left, to the right, jump up and down and to the knees
Come and dance every night, sing with the hula melody

The lovely beach, in the sky the moon of Kauai
Around calypso sarong we'll all be singing this song

Agadoo-doo-doo, push pineapple, shake the tree
Agadoo-doo-doo, push pineapple, grind coffee
To the left, to the right, jump up and down and to the knees
Come and dance every night, sing with the hula melody

Agadoo-doo-doo, push pineapple, shake the tree
Agadoo-doo-doo, push pineapple, grind coffee
To the left, to the right, jump up and down and to the knees
Come and dance every night, sing with the hula melody

What's Love Got To Do With It?
Composer(s): Terry Britten; Graham Lyle
Performer(s): Tina Turner



You must understand
that the touch of your hand
makes my pulse react
that it's only that thrill
of boy meeting girl
opposites attract

It's physical
only logical
You must try to ignore
that it means more than that

(Chorus)
Oh What's love got to do with it
What's love but a second-hand emotion
What's love got to do with it
Who needs a heart
When a heart can be broken

It may seem to you
That I'm acting confused
When you're close to me
If I tend to look dazed
I've read it someplace
I've got cause to be

There's a name for it
There's a phrase for it
But whatever the reason
You do it for me

(Chorus)

I've been thinking of a new direction
But I have to say
I've been thinking about my own protection
It scares me to feel that way

What's love got to do with it
What's love but a sweet old-fashioned notion
What's love got to do with it
Who needs a heart
When a heart can be broken
