No Milk Today Composer(s): Graham Gouldman Performer(s): Herman's Hermits; and various other artists
No milk today, my love has gone away The bottle stands forlorn, a symbol of the dawn No milk today, it seems a common sight But people passing by don't know the reason why
How could they know just what this message means The end of my hopes, the end of all my dreams How could they know the palace there had been Behind the door where my love reigned as queen
No milk today, it wasn't always so The company was gay, we'd turn night into day
But all that's left is a place dark and lonely A terraced house in a mean street back of town Becomes a shrine when I think of you only Just two up two down
No milk today, it wasn't always so The company was gay, we'd turn night into day As music played the faster did we dance We felt it both at once, the start of our romance
How could they know just what this message means The end of my hopes, the end of all my dreams How could they know a palace there had been Behind the door where my love reigned as queen
No milk today, my love has gone away The bottle stands forlorn, a symbol of the dawn
But all that's left is a place dark and lonely A terraced house in a mean street back of town Becomes a shrine when I think of you only Just two up two down
No milk today, my love has gone away The bottle stands forlorn, a symbol of the dawn No milk today, it seems a common sight But people passing by don't know the reason why
How could they know just what this message means The end of my hopes, the end of all my dreams How could they know a palace there had been Behind the door where my love reigned as queen
No milk today, it wasn't always so The company was gay, we'd turn night into day
But all that's left is a place dark and lonely A terraced house in a mean street back of town Oh all that's left is a place dark and lonely A terraced house in a mean street back of town Oh all that's left is a place dark and lonely A terraced house in a mean street back of town
Postman Blues Composer(s): Dinah Washington; Tab Smith Performer(s): Dinah Washington; Tab Smith
Baby, when you receive this letter, I hope it will explain Yes baby, when you receive this letter, I hope it will explain 'Cause I was too unfaithful, now I'm home in bed and sick with pain!
All my friends told me that you were just a clown Still I let your sweet words let my love come tumblin' down! Yes I've got them, got those letter writin' blues Forget the dirt you did me, you can have me any time you choose!
They say you're just a sweet man, just like a plum or prune All you need to do is whistle and I'll be lovin' you till next June! Yes I've got them, got them letter writin' blues Forget the dirt you did me, you can have me any time you choose!
I wrote you six or eight times, or maybe three or four The postman returned them to me, and said, "You're just a constant bore!" Yes I've got them, got them letter writin' blues Forget the dirt you did me, you can have me any time you choose!
No Mercy Composer(s): The Stranglers Performer(s): The Stranglers
Everyday you're working like a slave
Sweating buckets hoping that you get it right Will it be as tough tomorrow have to wait and see Life shows no mercy
Everyday your love is getting warmer
Just look at her and I love her did you get it right? Will she soothe your brow with kisses only meant for thee? She'll show no mercy she'll show no mercy
And when you hold her close to you
Just when you're feeling good it's true Life shows no mercy life shows no mercy
Life shows no mercy life shows no mercy
Everybody has some secret wishes
Just keep your fingers crossed maybe they'll all come true But don't worry if they just remain a fantasy Life shows no mercy
Everybody seems the same all over
The search is on for love and comfort constantly If it comes your way tomorrow count yourself lucky Life shows no mercy life shows no mercy
And when you hold her close to you . . . Life shows no mercy life shows no mercy
life shows no mercy no mercy Life shows no mercy no mercy life shows no mercy no mercy
Life shows no mercy no mercy life shows no mercy no mercy
Life shows no mercy no mercy life shows no mercy no mercy
It Happens To Be Me Composer(s): Sammy Gallop; Arthur Kent Performer(s): Nat King Cole and multiple other artists
Someone longs for you and your caress He's learning now how empty arms can be Someone who used to know your kiss not long ago That someone happens to be me
How he misses you and must confess Without you he's like driftwood on the sea He's just a dreamer who is still in love with you That dreamer happens to be me
I'll never know just why we parted It's more than I can comprehend I only know when you departed You started a night that has no end
Perhaps there'll come a time when you're alone Your heart still haunted by a memory If then you chance to find there's someone on your mind I hope it happens to be me
Perhaps there'll come a time when you're alone Your heart still haunted by a memory If then you chance to find there's someone on your mind I hope it happens to be me
No Mercy Composer(s): Nils Lofgren Performer(s): Nils Lofgren
Out for the first - the atmosphere is heavy World title lays on the line Strong and proud he is much older I am the faster Im in my prime
Third round late he starts to tire Open cut over his left eye Smelling blood attack is relentless In the back seats I see his girl cry
Cry - No mercy, no quarter No place to hide for me and the man Lefts and rights never came in harder No mercy, take it while you can - now! No mercy take it while you can
Back in my corner they scream "No mercy!" "Put him away, dont let him recover!" Someones eyes drills holes in my head It is his proud determined mother
Cry - No mercy, no quarter No place to hide for me or the man Right and wrong never came in harder No mercy, take it while you can - now! No mercy, take it while you can
I wish another could do this thing for me His eyes are flooded, doubt he can even see I hungered this title but now it dont seem right I fight back tears while I destroy his life
Cry - No mercy, no quarter No place to hide for me and the man Lefts and rights never came in harder No mercy , take it while you can - now! No mercy take it while you can
Cry - No mercy, no quarter No place to hide for me or the man Right and wrong never came in harder No mercy, take it while you can - now! No mercy, take it while you can
No Me Trates Así Composer(s): José L. Flores Performer(s): Javier Solis
No me trates así no seas mala conmigo ya no me hagas sufrir por Dios te lo pido
Por qué me tratas mal si soy bueno contigo no quieras acabar con nuestro gran cariño ¿Por qué me haces llorar si no te doy motivo? ¿Por qué me tratas mal si soy bueno contigo?
Por qué me tratas mal si soy bueno contigo no quieras acabar con nuestro gran cariño ¿Por qué me haces llorar si no te doy motivo? ¿Por qué me tratas mal si soy bueno contigo?
It Happens Everyday Composer(s): Carly Simon Carly Simon; Les Paul
It happens everyday Two lovers with the best intentions to stay Together, they decide to separate Just how it happens neither is certain But it happens everyday
It happens everyday After you break up you say these words to your friends "How could I have loved that boy?" "He was so bad to me in the end" Well, you make him a liar Turn him into a robber Well, it happens everyday
But I don't regret that I loved you How I loved you I will never forget And in time I'll look back and remember The boy that I knew when we first met
Still, it happens everyday Two lovers turn and twist their love into hate But am I so different from that young girl you used to date? You used to adore me
No Me Puedo Quejar Composer(s): Michel Vaucaire; Charles Dumont; M. Salina Performer(s): Raphael

No la verdad No no me puedo quejar Ni del bien que recibi Ni del mal que me han hecho sufrir No la verdad No no me puedo quejar Te encontré tengo fè Y por ti hoy empiezo a vivir
Pacific Coast Blues Composer(s): Wilbert Barranco; Charles Mingus Performer(s): Dinah Washington; Charles Mingus; Lucky Thompson
Well, the mornin' sun is risin' and I'm sittin' on your back door step Yes, I'm just a fugitive from slumber, can't count one hour that I've slept! I'm just as blue as the Pacific, and I know my eyes are just as wet!
Yes, I thought you loved me baby, but I guess I didn't know the score And I'd give a dozen daydreams to hold you in my arms once more! And if you ever need me, you'll find me waitin' for you at your door
So baby, think it over, don't let another day pass by Come on and talk to me daddy, tell mama just one more soothin' lie! If I can't have your lovin', I'm gonna kiss this world goodbye!
No Me Mires Así Composer(s): Raul Abramzon; Leonardo Schultz Performer(s): José Feliciano; and various other artists
No me mires así que me estoy volviendo loco no te acerques a mí que me matas poco a poco cuando miras así reconozco tu mensaje tu me quieres tener y yo, enamorarte
No me mires así que te siento con mi cuerpo tu me quieres encender con las llamas de tu fuego cuando miras así y no quieres entregarte tu te ríes de mí y eso a nadie se le hace
Si hay miradas que matan la tuya me dio en el corazón y el calor que proyectan tus ojos es más fuerte que el sol si hay miradas que matan me muero y me muero por ti y por eso te imploro no sigas mirándome así
No me mires así que no puedo controlarme no podría resistir el deseo de abrazarte cuando miras así y no quieres entregarte tu te ríes de mí y eso a nadie se le hace
Oh! You Have No Idea! Composer(s): Dan Dougherty; Phil Ponce Performer(s): Sophie Tucker and multiple other artists
There's a man There's a ma Has the old maids wishin' For new ambition Every time they see him passing along What a man! What a man! He's a real live petter A sweetheart getter When I tell you I'm not telling you wrong!
Has he arms that are big and strong? Does he know where those arms belong? Oh! You have no idea!
Has he ways that I love so much? Does he speak with his sense of touch? Oh! You have no idea!
He's got a million in the bank And that helps a lot! But say, that million in the bank Is only part of what he got!
Gosh oh gee, do I wanna swear! Could he answer a maiden's prayer? Oh! You have no idea!
Has he lips all the girls adore? Does he know what he's got 'em for? Oh! You have no conception!
Has he eyes that are full of love? Do they show what he's thinking of? Oh! You have no idea!
He's got that whatsy-whatsy-what What people can't name, And say, that whatsy-whatsy-what Would make the wildest woman tame!
Hot as fire, all the girls agree Does he spark when he's out with me? Oh! You have no idea!
Does he love like a desert sheik? When he necks, can he make 'em weep? Oh! You have no realisation!
Has he got what the girls all crave? When they're with him, does he behave? Come to me for information"
He claims he's travelled quite a lot In far distant lands I don't know if it's true or not But boy, he sure has travellin' hands!
Like an auto, he changes speed Has he got what his Sophie need? Oh! You have no idea!
No Me Dejes Caer Composer(s): Miguel Mateos Performer(s): Miguel Mateos
Cuando caiga la noche no haya nadie aquí y el calor de la ciudad me castigue sin piedad tendré que sonreir (ji ji) A tu sombra implacable a mi desolación aunque se haga polvo el mundo en el último segundo tu secreto es mi canción
Oh nena no me dejes no me dejes caer por favor no me dejes solo en el río
Como un enmascarado mil noches sin dormir cierro puertas y ventanas para que el sol de la mañana no me descubra así (oh oh) con las manos atadas como perros de ciudad con la tele andando a mil sin fuerzas de seguir amando un souvenir
Oh nena no me dejes no me dejes caer por favor no me dejes solo en el río
No me dejes no me dejes caer por favor no me dejes tan solo en el río
Oh nena no me dejes no me dejes caer por favor no me dejes solo en el río...
It Happened In New Orleans (aka Rainbow On The River) Performer(s): Bobby Breen
There's a rainbow on the river The skies are clearing You'll soon be hearing A melody all the day long! Let you and I go sailing Along the rippling stream Holding hands together Together we'll dream!
No Me Comprendo Composer(s): Don Backy Performer(s): Raphael
A veces yo no me comprendo No me conozco, no me entiendo Las cosas raras que me pasan Me vuelven loco
Quiero gritarte y te acaricio Quiero quererte y te desprecio Me creo listo y soy un necio Que solo te ama sin amarte
Quiero mimarte y te hago daño Te digo voy y tardo un año Te digo vete y te sujeto Quiero matarte y te respeto Ay, ay, ay, ay
No me comprendo ya lo ves Soy un extraño para mi Frente al espejo pienso ¿Quien sere yo? ¿Quien es el tonto que me mira Que va vestido con mi traje? ¿Quien mete el coche en mi garaje? ¿Quien va bebiendose mi vida?
Y mientras tanto aqui me tengo Tan imposible y tan cercano Tan gigantesco y tan enano Tan sin saber si voy o vengo Ay, ay, ay, ay
No me comprendo y se muy bien Que el tiempo pasa mientras yo Estoy queriendo tanto, tanto Sin querer
Que quiero estar y no se estar Que quiero darte y no se darte Que quiero ser y no se ser Que quiero amarte sin amarte
Intento hablarte de mis sueños Y no consigo convencerte Intento solamente verte Pero te escondo y no te encuentro Ay, ay, ay, ay
A veces yo no me comprendo No me conozco, no me entiendo Y me pregunto cara a cara ¿Quien soy yo?
Quiero gritarte y te acaricio Quiero quererte y te desprecio Me creo listo y soy un necio Que solo te ama sin amarte
Y mientras tanto aqui me tengo Tan imposible y tan cercano Tan gigantesco y tan enano Tan sin saber si voy o vengo Ay, ay, ay, ay
