Crying In The Rain Composer(s): David Coverdale
Performer(s): Whitesnake
A black cat moans When hes burning with the fever A stray dog howls When hes lonely in the night A woman goes crazy With the though of retribution But, a man starts weeping When hes sick and tired of life
I keep on dreaming dreams of tomorrow Feel Im wasting my time Lighting candles in the wind Always taking my chances On the promise of the future But, a heart full of sorrow Paints a lonely tapestry
The sun is shining But, its raining in my heart
No one understands the heartache No one feels the pain cos no one ever sees the tears When youre crying in the rain When youre crying in the rain Crying in the rain...
I can never deny All the sweet things I have tasted Tho Ive been mistreated I keep coming back for more I know where Im going Theres no hope of absolution I cant seem to separate The good times from the bad
The sun is shining But, its raining in my heart
No one understands the heartache No one feels the pain cos no one ever sees the tears When youre crying in the rain When youre crying in the rain When youre crying in the rain When youre crying in the rain
The sun is shining But, its raining in my heart
No one understands the heartache No one feels the pain cos no one ever sees the tears When youre crying in the rain When youre crying in the rain When youre crying in the rain When youre crying in the rain
Three Minute Hero Composer(s): Neol Davies Performer(s): The Selecter
They asked you if youre alright You say yes But all the time you know Its a mess Its 5 pm and youre on your way home Just another day with that endless grey drone
Three minute hero I wanna be, a three minute hero I wanna be, a three minute hero I wanna be, a three minute hero
Drag yourself along the road Sit on the bus Switch on your transistor 'Cause a fuss Its 11 pm and youre on your way home Just another night with that endless grey drone
Three minute hero I wanna be, a three minute hero I wanna be, a three minute hero I wanna be, a three minute hero
I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be A three minute hero
A three minute hero, I wanna be A three minute hero, I wanna be A three minute hero, I wanna be A three minute hero
Its too early in the morning Stupid job Dont wanna eat, cant think straight Same as yesterday Its 7 am and youre leaving home Just another day with that endless grey drone
A three minute hero, I wanna be A three minute hero, I wanna be A three minute hero, I wanna be A three minute hero...
Crying In The Rain French Title: J'irai Pleurer Sous La Pluie - 1962 Composer(s): Howard Greenfield; Carole King First release by: The Everly Brothers - 1961 Covered by multiple other artists
I'll never let you see The way my broken heart is hurting me I've got my pride and I know how to hide All the sorrow and pain I'll do my crying in the rain
If I wait for cloudy skies You won't know the rain from the tears in my eyes You'll never know that I still love you So though the heartaches remain I'll do my crying in the rain
Raindrops falling from heaven Will never wash away my misery But since we're not together I'll wait for stormy weather To hide these tears I hope you'll never see
Someday when my crying's done I'm gonna wear a smile and walk in the sun I may be a fool But till then, darling, you'll never see me complain I'll do my crying in the rain I'll do my crying in the rain I'll do my crying in the rain I'll do my crying in the rain
(I Know) I'm Losing You Composer(s): Cornelius Grant; Brian Holland; Norman Whitfield Performer(s): The Temptations; and various other artists
Your love is fadin', I feel it fade Ah, your love is fadin', I feel it fade Ah, your love is fadin', woman I feel it fade Ah, woman, woman your touch, your touch has gone cold As if someone else controls your very soul I've fooled myself long as I can Can feel the presence of another man It's there when you speak my name It's just not the same Ooo babe, I'm losing you It's in the air It's there everywhere Baby, baby, babe, I'm losing you When I look into your eyes A reflection of a face, I see I'm hurt, down-hearted and worried, girl 'Cause that face doesn't belong to me It's all over your face Someone's takin' my place Ooo baby, I'm losing you You try hard to hide The emptiness you feel inside Oo babe, I'm losing you I can't bear the thought of losing you Ah woman, can't you see what I'm goin' through I'm losin' my mind (losin' my mind) And it's all because of you I can't bear the thought of losing you I'm losin' my mind (losin' my mind) And it's all because of you I can't stand the thought of losing you

J'irai Pleurer Sous La Pluie Adapted from: Crying In The Rain - 1961 Composer(s): Howard Greenfield; Carole King; Richard Anthony Performer(s): Richard Anthony - 1962
Si je voulais pleurer Bien loin de tes yeux j'irai me cacher Car je suis fier et ne veux pas montrer Le chagrin de ma vie Et j'irai pleurer sous la pluie
Pour laisser mes larmes couler J'attendrai l'orage et la pluie pour pleurer Je t'aime encore et tu dois ignorer Le chagrin de ma vie Et j'irai pleurer sous la pluie
La pluie sur mon visage N'effacera jamais ton souvenir Et tu ne sauras jamais Pourtant combien je t'aimais Combien malgré toi tu me fais souffrir
Mais un jour je partirai En souriant sous le soleil de mai Mais en attendant ce jour qui ne vient pas Je suis à ta merci Et j'irai pleurer sous la pluie Et j'irai pleurer sous la pluie Et j'irai pleurer sous la pluie

Photographs of fancy tricks to get your kicks at sixty-six He thinks of all the lips that he licks And all the girls that he's going to fix She gave a little flirt, gave herself a little cuddle But there's no place here for the mini-skirt waddle Capital punishment, she's last year's model They call her Natasha when she looks like Elsie I don't want to go to Chelsea
Oh no it does not move me Even though I've seen the movie I don't want to check your pulse I don't want nobody else I don't want to go to Chelsea
Everybody's got new orders Be a nice girl and kiss the warders Now the teacher is away All the kids begin to play
Men come screaming, dressed in white coats Shake you very gently by the throat One's named Gus, one's named Alfie I don't want to go to Chelsea
Oh no it does not move me Even though I've seen the movie I don't want to check your pulse I don't want nobody else I don't want to go to Chelsea

Down in the meadow in a little bitty pool Were three little fishes and their mama fishy too "Swim" said the mommy fishy, "Swim if you can" And they swam and they swam all over the dam
Boop boop dittum dattum wattum, choo Boop boop dittum dattum wattum, choo Boop boop dittum dattum wattum, choo And they swam and they swam all over the dam
"Stop!" said the mama fishy, "You'll get lost!" But the three little fishes didn't want to be bossed So the three little fishes set off on a spree And they swam and they swam right out to the sea
Boop boop dittum dattum wattum, choo Boop boop dittum dattum wattum, choo Boop boop dittum dattum wattum, choo And they swam and they swam right out to the sea
"Whee!" yelled the fishes, "Oh! here's a lot of fun" "Swim in the sea till the day is done" So they swam and they swam, it was all, a lark Till all of a sudden they saw a shark
Boop boop dittum dattum wattum, choo Boop boop dittum dattum wattum, choo Boop boop dittum dattum wattum, choo Till all of a sudden they saw a shark
"Whoa!" cried the fishes, "Oh! look at the whales" Quick as they could they turned on their tails Back to the pool in the meadow they swam And they swam and they swam back over the dam
Boop boop dittum dattum wattum, choo Boop boop dittum dattum wattum, choo Boop boop dittum dattum wattum, choo And they swam and they swam back over the dam

You saw me crying in the chapel The tears I shed were tears of joy I know the meaning of contentment Now I am happy with the Lord
Just a plain and simple chapel Where humble people go to pray I pray the Lord that I'll grow stronger As I live from day to day
I've searched and I've searched But I couldn't find No way on earth To gain peace of mind
Now I'm happy in the chapel Where people are of one accord We gather in the chapel Just to sing and praise the Lord
Ev'ry sinner looks for something That will put his heart at ease There is only one true answer He must get down on his knees
Meet your neighbor in the chapel Join with him in tears of joy You'll know the meaning of contentment Then you'll be happy with the Lord
You'll search and you'll search But you'll never find No way on earth To gain peace of mind
Take your troubles to the chapel Get down on your knees and pray Your burdens will be lighter And you'll surely find the way

Du hast ja Tränen in den Augen ich weiß, die gelten mir allein Mir sagt das Lächeln deines Mundes es müssen Freudentränen sein
Lange war ich in der Ferne es war ein weiter Weg zu dir Mir sagt das Schlagen deines Herzens du gehörst noch heut zu mir
Und nahm - das Geschehn dir manchmal den Mut glaube daran, nun wird alles gut
Und die Tränen in den Augen die will ich niemals wiedersehn, denn das Lächeln deines Mundes, ist ja tausendmal so schön
Und nahm - das Geschehn dir manchmal den Mut glaube daran, nun wird alles gut
Und die Tränen in den Augen die will ich niemals wiedersehn denn das Lächeln deines Mundes ist ja tausendmal so schön

Please help me, I'm falling
In love with you
Close the door to temptation
Dont let me walk through
Turn away from me, darling
I'm begging you to
Please help me, I'm falling
In love with you
I belong to another
Whose arms have grown cold
But I promised forever
To have and to hold
I can never be free, dear
But when I'm with you
I know that I'm losing
The will to be true
Please help me, I'm falling
And that would be sin
Close the door to temptation
Don't let me walk in
For I mustn't want you
But, darling, I do
Please help me, I'm falling
In love with you

Big town you lured me Big town you cured me Tho' others hate to say goodbye to you I'm leavin' but I'll never sigh for you Big town you robbed me of ev'ry joy I knew
Where is the song I had in my heart That harmonized with the pines Anyone can see what's troublin' me Cryin' for the Carolines Where is the brook that kisses the lane Covered with "Glory Vines" Anyone can see what's troublin' me I'm crying for the Carolines How can I smile mile after mile There's not a bit of green here Birdies all stay far far away They're seldom ever seen here Where is the gal that I used to meet Down where the pale moon shines Anyone can see what's troublin' me I'm crying for the Carolines
Small town you've sold me Small town you'll hold me You said that I'd have nothing but regret I've cried the blues to ev'ry one I've met Small town you gave me all that I'll ever get
