Nobody's Ever Going Anywhere Composer(s): Jeff Barry Performer(s): Andy Kim; Jeff Barry
Oh the figures escalate At an ever-growing rate On the money that they burn to try to reach a star Would be better if they try To hang a mirror in the sky So we could all look up and see how dumb we really are
And nobody's ever going anywhere Anyway No-how
Oh you just can't beat the plan That was laid down by the man It's all written in the book they keep in motel rooms Oh I know you need a break But you had your one mistake And you made it on the day you left your mother's womb
And nobody's ever going anywhere Anyway No-how
If you don't like where it's at I'm afraid that that is that Cause it should be clear by now that no one's getting off When you're born you start to grow Live for eighty years or so 'less of course you die of gunshot wounds or smoker's cough
And nobody's ever going anywhere Anyway No-how
Well if I'm depressing you It's depressing for me too 'Cause we're running out of time and love and subway seats Though it may not be your style You had better learn to smile 'Cause it's time to turn the mattress and to change the sheets.
And nobody's ever going anywhere Anyway No-how
And nobody's ever going anywhere Anyway No-how... (repeat and fade)

Nobody's Child Composer(s): Mel Foree; Cy Coben Performer(s): The Beatles (with Tony Sheridan); and various other artists
As I was slowly passing an orphan's home one day I stopped for just a little while to watch the children play Alone a boy was standing and when I asked him why he turned with eyes that could not see and he began to cry
I'm nobody's child I'm nobody's child Just like the flowers I'm growing wild I got no mummy's kisses I got no daddy's smile Nobody wants me I'm nobody's child No mummy's arms to hold me or sue me when I cry 'cause sometimes I feel so lonesome I wish that I could die I'll walk the streets of heaven where all blinds can see
And just like for the other kids it will be a home for me
I'm nobody's child I'm nobody's child Just like the flowers I'm growing wild I got no mummy's kisses I got no daddy's smile Nobody wants me I'm nobody's child

Nobody Loves Me Composer(s): Zeke Clements Performer(s): Bill Monroe; The Bluegrass Album Band; Zeke Clements; The Lost & Found
Nobody loves me nobody cares If life is empty and full of tears I've longed for true love searched everywhere Nobody loves me nobody cares
Searching for true love has been in vain Through years my heart has suffered with pain Life's lonesome burden now I must bear Nobody loves me nobody cares
Nights on my pillow I dream of love Through space I gaze at the stars above They seem to whisper from way up there Nobody loves you nobody cares
A lonesome heart and a troubled mind In this world now is all I find I look to heaven for I know there Someone will love me someone will care
Nobody Loves A Fairy When She's Forty Composer(s): Arthur Le Clerq Performer(s): Billy Cotton; Tessie O'Shea
For years a fairy queen I've been For years I foiled the Demon King But alas I'm getting on the years have flown somehow And I feel that Fairy Snowdrop isn't wanted now
Chorus Nobody loves a fairy when she's [forty] fifty Nobody loves a fairy when she's old
She may still have a magic power but that is not enough They like their bit of magic from a younger bit of stuff When once your silver star has lost its glitter And your tinsel looks like rust instead of gold Fairy days are ending when your wand has started bending No-one loves a fairy when she's old
For years I reigned in Fairy Dell I waved my wand and waved it well If I can't do all I did Im satisfied because I'd sooner be a Has-Been than I would a Never Was
Nobody loves.... Nobody loves..
The face of this Immortal One to many has appealed But gone is the illusion once you've had it soled and heeled When you've lost your little fairy dimples And the moth holes in your dress let in the cold The Goblins and the Pixies turn their backs and say Hi Nixey No one loves a fairy when she's old
Nobody loves..... Nobody loves.....
As far as I can see they try to push you off the map When once your wand has withered and your wings refuse to flap When you can't cast a spell without it spilling And a fairy tale for years you haven't told You stand there shouting What O.. but they all pass by your Grotto Nobody loves a fairy when she's old
Nobody loves..... Nobody loves.....
They don't give you an earthly chance to make a livelihood Theyre building council houses now in my enchanted wood When you are past the age for Television And the air you use is government controlled It seems that they would sooner Listen to a blinkin' crooner Nobody loves a fairy when she's old
Nobody Knows You When You're Down And Out Composer(s): James Cox Performer(s): Bessie Smith; and various other artists
Once I lived the life of a millionaire Spent all my money, I just did not care Took all my friends out for a good time Bought bootleg whisky, champagne and wine
Then I began to fall so low Lost all my good friends, I did not have nowhere to go I get my hands on a dollar again I'm gonna hang on to it till that eagle grins
'Cause no, no, nobody knows you When you're down and out In your pocket, not one penny And as for friends, you don't have any
When you finally get back up on your feet again Everybody wants to be your old long-lost friend Said it's mighty strange, without a doubt Nobody knows you when you're down and out
When you finally get back upon your feet again Everybody wants to be your good old long-lost friend Said it's mighty strange Nobody knows you Nobody knows you Nobody knows you when you're down and out
Nobody Knows What I Am Thinking Composer(s): Harry Hemsley Performer(s): Harry Hemsley
To say exactly what I think Dad says is impolite Unless it's complimentary That doesn't seem quite right For when my aunt she starts to sing You'd think she was in pain And if I say "That's beautiful" She starts to sing again
Nobody knows what I'm thinking Every think that I think is my own I guess I would get a good spanking If the things that I think of were known At home I've a new baby brother He does nothing but gurgle and drink They say he's an angel - and I say so too But nobody knows what I think
Sometimes when we have visitors There isn't half a scene If I'm not extra tidy And my hands are none too clean My Daddy he gets vexed with me But not until they've gone He says he's quite ashamed of me Because my clothes are torn
Nobody knows what I'm thinking When sent to the bathroom to wash I think lots of bad words, like "Dash it" And "Blessed", and "Bother" and "Gosh" Once I said "Rats", and my Daddy He whacked me until I was sore If he'd heard the bad words that I thinked of then I bet he'd have whacked me some more
Nobody Knows (And Nobody Seems To Care) Composer(s): Irving Berlin
I'm sad and lonely There's a good reason why Nobody cares about me That's why I'm sad as can be I long for someone Somebody, yes indeed Lovin' kisses from one Is exactly what I need
I'd love a sweetie Hanging around the place Someone to worry about I'd never want to go out My home is gloomy Nobody's there that's why I feel "bride and groomy" Can't you see it in my eye
Many's the time I feel so lonesome But nobody knows And nobody cares I've grown so tired of being by "my own some" I want somebody to hug Cuddle and snug as comfy as a bug in the rug Many's the time I feel like spooning But nobody knows and nobody cares I guess I'll make out a little "ad" That I want some lovin so bad 'Cause nobody knows and nobody seems to care
Nobody Knows Composer(s): Billy Squier Performer(s): Billy Squier
I may get around...I may laugh alot... Now you'd think that I'd be happy with the life I got Nobody knows...nobody sees Ain't nobody really knows the inner side o'me...
I may seem secure...I could have it made... You might think you see a lucky man who made the grade Nobody knows what dreams I see Ain't nobody really sure just who they wanna be...
But everybody has a place and time... A chance to live...a need to find We all got somethin' that we care about I propose you find it out...
It's not in a book...or a magazine... Or the stars who guide our fortunes on the silver screen Nobody knows...it's up to me Ain't nobody who can say it like it outght to be...
I see my future at the rainbow's end Happy hours...timeless friends And if I ever chance to find my way Rest assured...I will stay...
You may see your life as a compromise You may live to find the promise dancin' in your eyes Nobody knows...it's meant to be... Let the magic of the moment say it all to me
Nobody I Know Composer(s): John Lennon; Paul McCartney Performer(s): The Beatles; and various other artists
Nobody I know could love me more than you You can give me so much love it seems untrue Listen to the bird who sings it to the tree And then when you've heard him see if you agree Nobody I know could love you more than me
Everywhere I go the sun comes shinin' through Everyone I know is sure it shines for you Even in my dreams I look into your eyes Suddenly it seems I've found a paradise Everywhere I go the sun comes shinin' through
It means so much to be a part Of a heart of a wonderful one When other lovers are gone We'll live on We'll live on
Even in my dreams I look into your eyes Suddenly it seems I've found a paradise Everywhere I go the sun comes shinin' through
Nobody I know could love me more than you You can give me so much love it seems untrue Listen to the bird who sings it to the tree And then when you've heard him see if you agree Nobody I know could love you more than me Nobody I know could love you more than me
Nobody Falls Like A Fool Composer(s): Peter McCann; Mark Wright Performer(s): Earl Thomas Conley
A heart isn't blind It just sees what it wants to see I hope yours is lookin' at mine The way that you're lookin' at me Well I've been around I've taken chances before But this time I'm hopin' for more You're makin' it easy
Chorus: Nobody falls like a fool Nobody loves like a believe After so many dreams have fallen through It's time that one came true Nobody falls like a fool Nobody loves like a believer And I'm fallin' 'cause I believe in you
I know you're afraid Of the words we have spoken There's been so many promises made And so many broken Oh but please don't hold back I've already opened the door And this time I'm hopin' for more You're makin' it easy
Nobody Else In The World But You Composer(s): Don Henley; Jai Winding; Stan Lynch Performer(s): Don Henley
You live in a house of mirrors Reflecting your splendid isolation You have so much of everything Except for true consideration The way you dance The way you walk The way you drive The way you talk The way you eat The way you drink The way you act The way that you dont think
Its like theres Nobody else in the world but you Nobody else in the world Nobody else in the world but you In case you havent noticed Theres lots of other people here, too
Hey now, did your momma teach you anything? Some things still got to be respected Is it a sign of the times, or is it just your callous heart? How did you get so disconnected?
The way you push The way you shove The way you hate The way you love The lies you spin The scenes you make The grief you give The space you take Its like theres
Nobody else in the world but you Nobody else in the world Nobody else in the world but you In case you havent noticed Theres lots of other people here, too
And now its time you did a little giving, baby The world is not your plaything, no, no, no
(Solo)
Nobody else in the world but you Nobody else in the world Nobody else in the world but you In case you havent noticed Theres lots of other people here
Nobody else in the world but you Nobody else in the world Its like theres nobody else in the world but you In case you havent noticed there are lots of other people here, too
Nobody Else But Me Composer(s): Jerome Kern; Oscar Hammerstein II Performer(s): Jimmy Raney; and various other artists
I want to be no one but me I am in love with a lady who likes me the way I am I have my faults, she likes my faults I'm not very bright, she's not very bright
She thinks I'm grand, that's grand for me She may be wrong but if we get along "What do we care?", say we Walking on the shore, swimming in the sea When I am with her, I'm glad the boy who's with her Is nobody else but me
She thinks I'm grand, that's grand for me She may be wrong but if we get along "What do we care?", say we
Walking on the shore, swimming in the sea When I am with her, I'm glad the boy who's with her Is nobody else but me When I am with her, I'm glad the boy who's with her Is nobody else but me
Nobody Does It Like Me Composer(s): Cy Coleman; Dorothy Fields Performer(s): Shirley Bassey; Michele Lee; Martine McCutcheon
If there's a wrong way to do it A wrong way to play it Nobody does it like me If there's a wrong way to do it
A right way to screw it up Nobody does it like me I've got a big loud mouth
I'm always talking much to free If you go for tact and manners Better stay away from me If there's a wrong way to keep it cool A right way to be a fool Nobody does it like me I hear a love song or ballad
I toss like a salad Nobody tosses like me And when my evenings get tougher
I just take two bufferin' And drink a hot cup of tea Last night I met an old acquaintance At a fancy corner pub He said: Come on, let's have some supper So he used my credit-club If there's a wrong way to take a guy The worst way to make a guy Nobody does it like me If there's a wrong bell, I ring it
A wrong note, I sing it Nobody does it like me If there's a problem, I duck it
I don't solve it, I just muck it up Nobody does it like me As though I try to be a lady
I'm no lady, I'm a frog And when I talk like I'm a lady What I sound like is a frog If there's a wrong way to get a guy The right way to lose a guy Nobody does it like me Nobody does it
No, nobody does it Nobody does it like me Nobody does it like me
Nobody Does It Better Composer(s): Marvin Hamlisch; Carol Bayer Sager Performer(s): Carly Simon; and various other artists
Nobody does it better Makes me feel sad for the rest Nobody does it half as good as you Baby you're the best
I wasn't looking But somehow you found me I tried to hide from your love light But like heaven above me The spy who loved me Is keeping all my secrets safe tonight
And nobody does it better Though sometimes I wish someone could Nobody does it quite the way you do Why d'you have to be so good?
The way that you hold me, whenever you hold me There's some kind of magic inside you That keeps me from running But just keep it coming How d'you learn to do the things you do?
And nobody does it better Makes me feel sad for the rest Nobody does it half as good as you Baby baby Baby you're the best...
Nobody Cares If I'm Blue Composer(s): Harry Akst; Grant Clarke Performer(s): Leon Redbone - 1985; and various other artists
Nobody knows, nobody cares if I'm lonesome Nobody sighs, nobody cries if I'm blue
It seems that night after night I sit alone and twiddle my thumbs But still I keep right on hopin', keep the door open But nobody comes
Ain't it a crime, kisses of mine are just wasted Since I'm so blue, I'm singin' what'll I do, boo hoo Like a plaything on the shelf, guess I'll have to be by myself Nobody knows, nobody cares if I'm blue
Nobody knows, nobody cares if I'm lonesome Nobody sighs, nobody cries if I'm blue
I sit at home constantly My company is just the four walls But still I keep right on hopin', keep the door open But nobody calls
Ain't it a crime, kisses of mine are just wasted Since I'm so blue, I'm singin' what'll I do When it comes to happiness, guess I'll have to settle for less Nobody knows, nobody cares if I'm blue
When it comes to happiness Guess I'll have to settle for less Nobody knows, nobody cares if I'm blue
