The Minute You're Gone
Composer(s): Jimmy Gateley
First release by: Sonny James - 1963
Covered by multiple other artists



The minute you're gone I cry
The minute you're gone I die
Before you walk out of sight
I'm like a child all alone at night
I stare into emptiness
I'm filled with such loneliness
The world goes from right to wrong
The minute you're gone
The minute you're gone
I see
How lonely a man I'll be
My life would be oh so blue
If I couldn't be with you

The Minute you're gone I pray
The minute you're gone I say
Please don't stay away too long
The minute you're gone
The minute you're gone 

Chinnin' And Chattin' With May
Composer(s): Buddy Fields - Arthur Simons
Performer(s): Frank Auburn & His Orch.
and multiple other artists



Love is great in the moonlight
All our rides are okay
But I spend my whole evening
Chinnin' and chattin' with May

Though we talk about nothin'
We've got plenty to say
And I'm always so happy
Chinnin' and chattin' with May

She'll say, "Night-night"
Then I'll give her a kiss
I'll say, "I like
Conversation like this"

Never go to a movie
Never go to a play
I get my entertainment
Chinnin' and chattin' with May

Recuerdos
Composer(s): Jorge Quiroz;
Raúl Sampaio; Benil Santos
Performer(s): Javier Solis



Al recordar aquél lugar por siempre amado
siento el hechizo de aquél paraíso que tuve a tu lado
Siento tu aliento, siento tus besos y oigo tu voz
pero al final para mi mal veo un adiós

Sólo ahora en mi fantasía
presiento que estás recordando mi amor
recordando mis besos, recordando mi voz

Yo debía olvidar y no puedo
yo debía ya dejar de pensar
más delante de tantos recuerdos me pongo a llorar

Sólo ahora en mi fantasía
presiento que estás recordando mi amor
recordando mis besos, recordando mi voz

Yo debía olvidar y no puedo
yo debía ya dejar de pensar
más delante de tantos recuerdos me pongo a llorar

Yo debía olvidar y no puedo
yo debía ya dejar de pensar
más delante de tantos recuerdos me pongo a llorar

The Millionaire
Composer(s): Dennis Tracy
Performer(s): Dr. Hook & The Medicine Show



I'm not a bad person
I don't drink, and I don't kill
I got no evil habits, and I probably never will
I don't sing like Elvis Presley
I can't dance like Fred Astaire
But there's one thing in my favor
I'm a millionaire!

And I got more money
Then a horse has hairs
'Cause my rich old uncle died
And answered all my prayers!

Having all this money
Is going to bring me down
If you ain't with me honey
To help me spread it around!

I could get myself a nose job
I could diet for a year
But I'll never be Robert Redford
Cause I'm much to fond of beer

Please don't misunderstand me
It's not love I'm trying to buy
It's just I got all this here money
And I'm a pretty ugly guy

And I got more money
Then a horse has hairs
'Cause my rich old uncle died,
And answered all my prayers!

I don't mind if you love me for my money
If you love me for whatever else I got
But 'cept for all this stuff, I'm a lonely Fort Knox
I don't guess I'm doing all that hot

And I got more money
Then a horse has hairs
'Cause my rich old uncle died
And answered all my prayers!

Money, money, money, money 

Chinese Laundry Blues
Composer(s): Jack Cottrell - George Formby
Performer(s): George Formby
and multiple other artists



Now Mr. Woo was a laundry man
In a shop with an old green door
He’d iron all day, your linen away
He really makes me sore
He lost his heart to a Chinese girl
And his laundry’s all gone wrong
All day he’ll flirt and starch your shirt
And that’s why I’m singing this song

Oh! Mr. Woo, what shall I do
I’m feeling kind of Limehouse Chinese laundry blue
This funny feeling keeps round me ceiling
Oh won’t you throw your sweetheart over, do
My best silk shawl, now it won’t fit my little brother
And my new Sunday shirt has got a perforated rudder
Mr. Woo, what shall I do
I’m feeling kind of Limehouse Chinese laundry blue

Now Mr. Woo, he’s got a naughty eye that flickers
You ought to see it wobble when he’s ironing ladies blouses
Mr. Woo, what shall I do
I’m feeling kind of Limehouse Chinese laundry blue

Now Mr. Woo, he’s got a laundry kind of tricky
He starched my shirts and collars
But he never touched me waistcoat
Mr. Woo, what shall I do
I’m feeling kind of Limehouse Chinese laundry blue

Mr. Woo, what shall I do
I’m feeling kind of Limehouse Chinese laundry blue

Recuerdo Malevo
Composer(s): Carlos Gardel; Alfredo LePera
Performer(s): Carlos Gardel



Era mi pebeta una flor maleva
más linda que un día dorado de sol
trenzas renegridas, mirada que ruega
boca palpitante de fuego y amor
Para conquistarla yo me jugué entero
no valía la pena sin ella vivir
Peleando con taitas en un entrevero
pensé que era lindo por ella morir

Tiempo viejo, caravana fugitiva
¿dónde estás?
¡Florido tiempo que añoro
por tus caminos de olvido
viajan visiones que lloro
sueño querido que te alejás!
Tiempo viejo, caravana fugitiva
¿dónde estás?

Cinco años pasaron de la primer cita
burlón el destino me obligó a volver
que viejos los ojos de la muchachita
en un día riendo me enseñó a querer
Fuimos sin pensarlo como dos extraños
su boca marchita y mi suspirar
habiendo cenizas de los desengaños
el recuerdo, amigo, es mejor borrar

Zacht als een bries die ritselt door de bomen
Vormen mijn lippen jouw naam en denk ik aan jou
Iedere nacht zie ik je in mijn dromen
Ik fluister dan dicht bij jouw mond hoeveel ik van je hou
O ja, ik weet wel dat jij niet vrij bent
Maar ik zal wachten tot jij van mij bent
Domenica
Ooit op een dag zul je naar me luisteren
En dan zul je begrijpen dat wij zijn geschapen voor elkaar
Tot op die dag zal ik alleen maar fluisteren
Ik wacht op een teken van jou een blik of een gebaar

O ja, ik weet wel dat jij niet vrij bent
Maar ik heb geduld en ik zal wachten tot jij van mij bent
Ik droom van ons hier in het duister
Ik zie je gezicht en in mijn hoofd klinkt ons gefluister
Domenica, domenica
O ja, ik weet wel dat jij niet vrij bent
Maar ik heb geduld en ik zal wachten tot jij van mij bent
Ik wacht op jou al duurt het eeuwen
Ik fluister je naam, maar eens komt de dag
Dat ik hem zal schreeuwen
Domenica, Domenica, Domenica

Chinatown, My Chinatown
Composer(s): William Jerome - Jean Schwartz
Performer(s): Tommy Dorsey
and multiple other artists



When the town is fast a-sleep, and it's mid-night in the sky
That's the time the fes-tive chink starts to wink his oth-er eye
Starts to wink his dream-y eye, la-zi-ly you'll hear him sigh

Strang-ers ta-king in the sights, pig-tails fly-ing here and there
See that brok-en wall street sport, still thinks he's a mil-lion-aire
Still thinks he's a mil-lion-aire, pipe dreams ban-ish ev-'ry care

Chi-na-town, my Chi-na-town 
Where the lights are low
Hearts that know no oth-er land
Drift-ing to and fro
Dream-y dream-y Chi-na-town
Al-mond eyes of brown
Hearts seems light and life seems bright
In dream-y Chi-na-town

Recuerdo

Es un recuerdo de amor mujer
como un aroma sutil de flor
y es como estrella fugaz de ilusión
de mi deshojada pasión

Cuando recuerdo tu voz de amor
y al final se fue para no tornar
siento en el alma un temblor de dolor
ansias de ponerme a llorar

Y esa voz es mi vida y mi ser

Por eso mujer recordarte es tenerte otra vez

Siento en el alma un temblor de dolor
ansias de ponerme a llorar

Sometimes when worries fill my mind
I dream of a different world where life could be fine
No one, knows what the future brings
Let's work for a better life
Where everyone wins

Maybe someday, we'll live together
This great big world
United forever
Domenica
(maybe someday we work together
This great big world
As one forever
Domenica)

Somewhere a child is losing faith
Its life is filled with fear
Day after day
Why can't we take the hurt away
The road is still so long
Let love guide our way.

Maybe someday, we'll live together
This great big world
United forever
Domenica
(maybe someday we work together

Chinatown

Performer(s): Thin Lizzy



Living and dying
In Chinatown
Yes they're living and dying down in old Chinatown
You better look around
Man, you don't stand a chance if you go down in Chinatown
Man, you don't stand a chance if you go down in Chinatown

Laughing and crying you know it's a fact
They're not laughing they are crying
`Cause they won't be back
Oh no you don't come back
Not from Chinatown
Man, you don't stand a chance if you go down in Chinatown
Man, you don't stand a chance if you go down in Chinatown

Chinatown, it's a different scene
There are people there, they are so obscene
If you see what I mean
Then they've sold you the dream
Down in Chinatown
What goes up it must come down

Living and dying
There is no release
Living and dying
There is no relief
There is no beliefs
Not in Chinatown
Man, you don't stand a chance if you go down in Chinatown
Man, you don't stand a chance if you go down in Chinatown

China My China
Composer(s): Brian Eno
First release by: Brian Eno - 1974



In the haze of the morning, china sits on eternity
And the opium farmers sell dreams to obscure fraternities
On the horizon the curtains are closing

Down in the orchard the aunties and uncles play their games
(like it seems they always have done)
In the blue distance the vertical offices bear their names
(like it seems they always have done)
Clocks ticking slowly, dividing the day up

These poor girls are such fun they know what God gave them fingers for
(to make percussion over solos)

China my china, I’ve wandered around and you’re still here
(which I guess you should be proud of)
Your walls have enclosed you, have kept you at home for thousands of years
(but there’s something I should tell you)
All the young boys are dressing like sailors

I remember a man who jumped out from a window over the bay
(there was hardly a raised eyebrow)
The coroner told me ’this kind of thing happens every day’
You see, from a pagoda, the world is so tidy

Recover Your Soul
Composer(s): Elton John; Bernie Taupin
Performer(s): Elton John



Baby you're missing something in the air
I got a name but it don't matter
What's going on, it's cold in here
You have a life but it's torn and tattered

Maybe you're losing pieces of your heart
You have a world but it stopped turning
You lose the day and gain the dark
Love was a fire but it stopped burning

Spare your heart, save your soul
Don't drag your love across the coals
Find your feet and your fortune can be told
Release, relax, let go
And hey now let's recover your soul

Lazy old sunset sinking like a tear
Alone at night in a losing battle
That perfect world is never clear
You have to fight for the things that matter

Spare your heart, save your soul
Don't drag your love across the coals
Find your feet and your fortune can be told
Release, relax, let go
And hey now let's recover your soul

The Milk Of Human Kindness
Composer(s): Gary Brooker - Keith Reid
Performer(s): Procol Harum



When you knew that I had given all the kindness that I had
Did you think that it might be time to stop?
When you knew that I was through
That I’d done all I could do
Did you really have to milk the final drop?
Not content with my mistake
You behaved just like a snake
And you left me for a wasp without a sting
Tell all my friends back home
That I did it on my own
And that to their well-worn cares they should cling

When you knew that I had given all the kindness that I had
Did you feel you had to break that lonely vow?
When you knew that I was through
That I’d done all I could do
Did you really have to sow that final plough?
Not content with my mistake, you behaved just like a snake
And you left me for a wasp without a sting
Tell all the folks back home that he did it on his own
And that to their well-worn cares they should cling

China Grove
Composer(s): Tom Johnston
Performer(s): The Doobie Brothers; Pickin' On; The Wynners



When the sun comes up on a sleepy little town 
down around San Antone 
and the folks are risin' for another day 
'round about their homes
The people of the town are strange 
and they're proud of where they came

Well, you're talkin' 'bout China Grove, wo, oh, oh
oh, China Grove

Well, the preacher and the teacher
Lord, they're a caution, they are the talk of the town
When the gossip gets to flyin' and they ain't lyin'
when the sun goes fallin' down
They say that the father's insane 
and dear Missus Perkin's a game

We're talkin' 'bout the China Grove, wo, oh, oh
oh, China Grove

But ev'ryday there's a new thing comin'
the ways of an oriental view
The sheriff and his buddies 
with their samurai swords
you can even hear the music at night
And though it's part of the Lone Star State 
people don't seem to care
they just keep on lookin' to the East

Talkin' 'bout the China Grove, oh, China Grove

Recordándote

A ti
sueño desnudo
abierta tras la ventana

A ti
mi flor primera
de estío en la madrugada

A ti
mi memorable
cuerpo de arena y campana

A ti
mi adolescencia
que vuelves en la distancia...
recordándote

Yesterday
love was such an easy game to play... 

L'esquimese
((Adapted from: Quinn The Eskimo (Bob Dylan) - 1967))
Composer(s): Bob Dylan - Mogol
Performer(s): I Dik Dik - 1968



Correte qui, correte là
mai niente al mondo
più vi piacerà

C'è chi fa le navi
e chi le affonderà
c'è chi scrive musica
e chi la copierà
c'è chi pensa ai soldi e chi
pensa ai fatti suoi

Ma se l'esquimese viene qui
tutti corrono a vedere lui

Correte qui, correte là
mai niente al mondo
più vi piacerà

Ti piace più lo zucchero
e fare quel che vuoi
ti piace stare a pancia in su
e fare niente mai
allungar la mano e poi
mangiare quel che vuoi

Ma se l'esquimese viene qui
corri sempre a vedere lui
Vuoi dormire e purtroppo c'è
un gatto che fa miao
nessuno dorme mai
per tutti è un incubo oramai
di notte tu pensi troppo
così tu non sogni più
Ma se l'esquimese arriva qui
sono certo dormirai anche tu

Correte qui, correte là
mai niente al mondo
più vi piacerà

China Girl
Composer(s): David Bowie - Iggy Pop
First release by: Iggy Pop - 1977
Covered by multiple other artists



I could escape this feeling, with my China Girl
I feel a wreck without my, little China Girl
I hear her heart beating, loud as thunder
Saw they stars crashing

I'm a mess without my, little China Girl
Wake up mornings where's my, little China Girl
I hear her heart's beating, loud as thunder
Saw they stars crashing down

I feel a-tragic like I'm Marlon Brando
When I look at my China Girl
I could pretend that nothing really meant too much
When I look at my China Girl

I stumble into town just like a sacred cow
Visions of swastikas in my head
Plans for everyone
It's in the whites of my eyes

My little China Girl
You shouldn't mess with me
I'll ruin everything you are
I'll give you television
I'll give you eyes of blue
I'll give you a man who wants to rule the world

And when I get excited
My little China Girl says
Oh baby just you shut your mouth
She says ... sh-sh-shhh
