All New People Composer(s): Iain Matthews - Julian Dawson Performer(s): Iain Matthews
A hundred years from now - all new people
When I was young my sky was wide And not a lot went on inside A different drum and a place to hide Was all I wanted Now when I look at what I've done At who I was how far I've come I can't unlock (undo) what I've begun And I'm still haunted
Life she said's a piece of cake It's just a game of give and take That's all it is for heaven's sake Don't complicate it You know what I think's wrong with you And this is just my point of view You want your cake and eat it too And don't you hate it
One hundred years from now - all new people One hundred years from now - all new people
I left my love a goodbye note See you later's all I wrote And said a prayer she'd stay afloat With bridges burning Made a new life for myself And hoped she'd do the same as well Then jumped back on the carousel I'll keep on turning
For about as far as the eye can see My life stretched out in back of me Memories came shooting from it Like the fiery tail of Halley's comet In the year 2062 I'll be long gone and so will you Across the southern hemisphere When Halley's comet reappears again
Why Don't Women Like Me? Composer(s): George Formby Performer(s): George Formby; - 1933 Clinton Ford; Richard Thompson
Now I know Im not handsome, no good looks or wealth But the girls I chase say my plain face will compromise their health Now I know fellows worse than me bow-legged and boss-eyed Walking out with lovely women clinging to their side
Now if women like them like men like those, why dont women like me? Look at Empress Josephine, the most attractive women that ever was seen Yet Napoleon short and fat, captivates a lovely looking dame like that Now if women like them like men like those - why dont women like me? Hey, hey, why dont women like me?
Last night I went out walking, my intentions were to click But the sights I saw whilst walking out, they nearly made me sick I must admit I saw some girls, attractive little dears Arm in arm with ugly men with cauliflower ears
Now if women like them like men like those - why dont women like me? What can the attraction be, thats the thing that always starts to worry me Although I havent got a bean, Ive got a lot of things that girls have never seen Now if women like them like men like those - why dont women like me? Hey, hey, why dont women like me?
Now I went for my holidays down to the gay seaside And I saw a lot of things there being hidden by the tide The way some women jumped around the man there in the sea Made me think that there is still a good chance left for me
Cause if women like them like men like those, why dont women like me Of all the shapes and sizes there Ive got a chance of clicking yet I do declare For I dont want to be a nark, I saw a lot of things below the watermark Now if women like them like men like those, why dont women like me? Hey, hey - why dont women like me?
Now if women like them like men like those, why dont women like me? Take Lord Nelson with one limb, Lady William Hamilton she fell for him With one eye and one arm gone west, she ran like the devil and she grabbed the rest Now if women like them like men like those, why dont women like me? Hey, hey - why dont women like me?

Got up this morning Got into my car Turned on the motor But it would not start Late for work Feelin' tired Worst of all I got myself fired Lost my job Got my pay Lost it all On the ace of spades

But all my troubles Would be through If I could make love with you

Bald bin ich am Ziel meiner Reise
Der Fluss des Vergessens ist tief und weit Befreit die Seele vom Staub der Zeit
Bald bin ich am Ziel meiner Reise
Die Straße des Lebens führt steil bergauf Doch wenn ich fall, steh ich wieder auf
Bald bin ich am Ziel meiner Reise
Zu spät zur Umkehr Zu spät, doch was auch kommt
Bald bin ich am Ziel meiner Reise
Und wenn auch manchmal die Angst erwacht Der Stern der Hoffnung führt mich durch die Nacht
Bald bin ich am Ziel meiner Reise
Die Quelle der Wahrheit ist klar und kalt Und wer trinkt aus ihr, wird niemals alt

Qu'elle est loin la fin du voyage
La glace de l'hiver a beau me mordre le corps Je me garde mon âme intacte encore
Qu'elle est loin la fin du voyage
J'ai trois pages à ma Bible: Amour et Vérité Et la troisième est Liberté
Qu'elle est loin la fin du voyage
Le jour devient noir Mais j'ai toujours l'espoir
Qu'elle est loin la fin du voyage
Si la vie pouvait être achetée par l'argent Les pauvres seraient morts et les riches vivants
Qu'elle est loin la fin du voyage
Je vais planter un arbre au paradis Il va devenir l'arbre de vie

I'm walking on the air, dear For life is fair, dear, to lovers I'm in the seventh heaven (There's more than seven, my heart discovers) In this sweet, improbable and unreal world Finding you has given me my ideal world
Chorus: Why do I love you? Why do you love me? Why should there be two happy as we? Can you see the why or wherefor I should be the one you care for?
You're a lucky boy, I am lucky too All our dreams of joy seem to come true Maybe that's because you love me Maybe that's why I love you!

No-one knows better than I That luck keeps passing me by That's fate! But with you there by my side I'll soon be turning that tide Just wait!
As long as I've got arms that cling at all It's you that I'll be clinging to And all the dreams I dream, be or borrow On some bright tomorrow They'll all come true And all my bright tomorrows belong to you
As long as I've got arms that cling at all It's you that I'll be clinging to And all the dreams I dream, be or borrow On some bright tomorrow They'll all come true And all my bright tomorrows belong to you
