Nothin' But You Composer(s): Steve Earle Performer(s): Steve Earle; Hillbilly Moon Explosion; Robin Lee
Daddy used to tell me "Don't you drag your feet" "Never seen a good intention that a man could eat" Well, I got about a million things I need to do I don't wanna think about nothin' but you
Everybody talk about Maybellene Yellow Rose Of Texas and the Sweet Sixteen Well, I don't wanna hear about no Peggy Sue I don't wanna think about nothin' but you
I don't need no money, no fancy car House up on the hill where all the rich folks are Well, they can have the whiskey, keep the cocaine, too I don't wanna think about nothin' but you
Everybody talk about Maybellene Yellow Rose Of Texas and the Sweet Sixteen Well, I don't wanna hear about no Peggy Sue I don't wanna think about nothin' but you
Everybody talk about Maybellene Yellow Rose Of Texas and the Sweet Sixteen Well, I don't wanna hear about no Peggy Sue I don't wanna think about nothin' but you
Nothin' At All Composer(s): Mark Mueller Performer(s): Heart
I would walk home every evening Through the pyramids of light I would feed myself on silence Wash it down with empty nights
Then your innocent distractions Hit me so hard My emotional reaction Caught me off guard
It was nothing at all Like anything I had felt before And it was nothing at all Like I thought no it's so much more No one else has ever made Me feel this way When I asked you how you did it You just say It was nothing at all
Now I walk home every evening And my feet are quick to move Cause I know my destination Is a warm and waiting you
From our first communication It was clear Any thought of moderation Would soon disappear
It was nothing at all Like anything I had felt before And it was nothing at all Like I thought no, it's so much more No one else has ever made Me feel this way when I asked you how you did it You just sayIt was nothing at all
Then your innocent distractions Hit me so hard My emotional reaction Caught me off guard
It was nothing at all Like anything I had felt before And it was nothing at all Like I thought no, it's so much more No one else has ever made Me feel this way When I asked you how you did it You just say It was nothing at all
It was nothing at all It was nothing at all It was nothing at all It was nothing at all It was nothing at all It was nothing at all
I cannot see what need there can be For any other people in the world but you and me Yes, go where we may They get in our way I wish we could contrive it Now and then to get a word in private!
Each time I start to pour out my heart Some tactless person comes along and we are driven apart Life might be, my pet A lovely duet But all these folks who bore us Seem to think that we require a chorus
Oh dear! won't it just be splendid In the time that's coming soon When, this weary waiting ended We start our honeymoon None near us to see or hear us The whole wide world we will forget Oh, what joy to stay in your arms all day But not yet um-m Not yet
Not To Touch The Earth Composer(s): John Densmore; Robbie Krieger; Ray Manzarek; Jim Morrison Performer(s): The Doors
Not to touch the earth Not to see the sun Nothing left to do, but Run, run, run Let's run Let's run
House upon the hill Moon is lying still Shadows of the trees Witnessing the wild breeze C'mon baby run with me Let's run
Run with me Run with me Run with me Let's run
The mansion is warm, at the top of the hill Rich are the rooms and the comforts there Red are the arms of luxuriant chairs And you won't know a thing till you get inside
Dead president's corpse in the driver's car The engine runs on glue and tar Come on along, not goin' very far To the East to meet the Czar
Run with me Run with me Run with me Let's run
Whoa!
Some outlaws lived by the side of a lake The minister's daughter's in love with the snake Who lives in a well by the side of the road Wake up, girl, we're almost home
Ya, c'mon!
We should see the gates by mornin' We should be inside the evenin'
Sun, sun, sun Burn, burn, burn Soon, soon, soon Moon, moon, moon I will get you Soon! Soon! Soon!
Not Over You Yet Composer(s): Malik Pendelton; Kenneth "Wally" Kelly Performer(s): Diana Ross
You were the first who ever brought me out Showed me what life and love was all about Gave me things that I never need You're in my thoughts, my every dream
I found joy in your touch, I miss your kisses The way you made me blush Life is cruel now that you're gone I love you so I can't let go, yeah
Not over you yet Not trying to forget The way that you loved me Not over you yet Not trying to forget The way that you loved me
I hate you so for what you done to me Made me fall in love with no security I gotta move on move on my life But it's so hard when you're still on my mind
I found joy in your touch I miss your kisses the way you made me blush Life is cruel now that you're gone I love you so I can't let go I'm crazy for you
Not over you yet Not trying to forget The way that you loved me Not over you yet Not trying to forget The way that you loved me
Not over you yet Not trying to forget The way that you loved me Not over you yet Not trying to forget The way that you loved me
I miss your kisses I miss your touch I'm crazy for you
Not over you yet Not trying to forget The way that you loved me Not over you yet Not trying to forget The way that you loved me
Not over you yet Not trying to forget The way that you loved me Not over you yet Not trying to forget The way that you loved me
Not yet Not over you yet Not trying to forget The way that you loved me Not over you yet Not trying to forget The way that you loved me

Hal Blair; Lucille "Lou" Dinning Performer(s): Della Reese; Earl Grant; The Isley Brothers; Don Robertson
I'll only love you as long as the sea rolls on endlessly to the shore I'll love you til then Not one minute more
I'll only love you til there's only night and the sun the sun gives no light as before I'm gonna love you til then Not one minute more

I'll only love you as long as the beat the beat of my heart can rest me still once more I can love you til then Not one minute more I know I can love you til then Not one minute more
Not Mine (aka It's Somebody Else's Moon Above, Not Mine) Composer(s): Victor Schertzinger; Johnny Mercer Performer(s): Peggy Lee; and various other artists
It's somebody else's moon above, not mine It's somebody else's night for love, not mine A heart to someone else is a thing that melts To me it's just a comic Valentine Let somebody else's tear be shed, not mine Let somebody else's nose get red, not mine I like playing solitaire But until I can draw a pair It's somebody else's moon up there, not mine
Not Me Composer(s): King Radio; Don Raye Performer(s): Robert Mitchum
Lets put woman and man together To find out which one is smarter Some say men, but I say No The women play the men like a puppet show
Not me it is the people who say That the men are leading the women astray But I say that the women of today Smarter than men in every way Theyre smart theyre clever chicks Theyre smart with crazy tricks They got no mercy in their heart Theyre smart intelligent
Ever since the world began Woman was always fooling man And if you listen to me, attentively I want to show you how the womans smarter than me
Not me it is the people who say That the men are leading the women astray But I say that the women of today Smarter than men in every way Theyre smart, theyre clever chicks Oh theyre sharp with clever tricks They got no mercy in their heart Theyre smart theyre pretty shrewd
Samson was the strongest man long ago Nobody could beat him, that we all know And when he clashed with Delilah, like soldiers said She found that the strength was in the hair of the head
Not me it is the people who say That the men are leading the women astray But I say that the women of today Smarter than men in every way
Now I had a little girl named Doraldee She marry me independently She was saving the money all the time And then she ran to Cuba with a friend of mine
Not me, it is the people who say That the men are leading the women astray But I say that the women of today Smarter than men in every way Theyre smart theyre clever chicks Theyre smart with crazy tricks They got no mercy in their hearts They smart they intelligent, man
Had another girl named Emilee She promised that she would marry with me But then she put me in jail and when I go to see I find that she already married to two or three
Not me - it is the people who say That the men are leading the women astray But I say that the women of today Smarter than men in every way
Not For Me Composer(s): Bobby Darin Performer(s): Bobby Darin; Sammy Davis Jr.; Timco
Ballads are being sung But not for me Church bells are being rung But not for me I am without love But I don't doubt love can be Warm and tender for some But not for me Poems are being read But not for me Prayers are being said But not for me I've never known love Or been shown love, you see And maybe there is such a thing But not for me So let all of your singers sing But not for me And let all of your church bells ring But not for me And if tomorrow All your sorrows should be Just like mine then you cry But not for me No, not me Never for me
Not For All The Rice In China Composer(s): Irving Berlin Performer(s): Leo Reisman; and various other artists
Not for all the rice in China Not for all the grapes in France Would I exchange the pleasure That I get from every measure When we dance
Not for all the kilts in Scotland Not for all the bulls in Spain Would I give up arriving At your house although youre Driving me insane
Not for all the onions in Bermuda Or the cheeses that are made by the Swiss Would I exchange that first kiss That you gave me
Not for all the beans in Boston Not for all the knobs on doors Would I agree to part with All the joy you filled my heart with When you said, "Im yours"
Not Enough Indians Composer(s): Herbie Baker; Baker Knight Performer(s): Dean Martin
Wagon train of love Is movin' slow... And I can see the peace-pipe Burnin' low... You criticize each Little thing I do... But listen baby I've got news for you (There's) Too many chiefs And not enough, Indians Around this house... Baby I'm tired A' this old game We play called Cat and mouse... If you don't give Just a little bit more... We're both gonna Loose the race 'Cause there's Too many chiefs And not enough Indians Around this place Trouble on our Happy hunting grounds... 'Cause you keep steppin' Too far out of bounds It's hard to run This reservation right... When you stay on the warpath Day and night (There's) Too many chiefs And not enough, Indians Around this house... Baby I'm tired A' this old game We play called Cat and mouse... If you don't give Just a little bit more... We're both gonna Loose the race 'Cause there's Too many chiefs And not enough Indians Around this place Look at all the things I have to do... To keep this te-pee runnin' Just for you Well times are tough And wampum's hard to save... Just remember who's the squaw And who's the brave (There's) Too many chiefs And not enough, Indians Around this house... Baby I'm tired A' this old game We play called Cat and mouse... If you don't give Just a little bit more... We're both gonna Loose the race 'Cause there's Too many chiefs And not enough Indians Around this place
Not A Second Time Composer(s): John Lennon; Paul McCartney Performer(s): The Beatles; and various other artists
You know you made me cry I see no use in wondering why I cry for you
And now you've changed your mind I see no reason to change mine I cry it's through, oh
You're giving me the same old line I'm wondering why You hurt me then You're back again No, no, no, not a second time not a second time
You know you made me cry I see no use in wondering why I cry for you
And now you've changed your mind I see no reason to change mine I cry it's through, oh
You're giving me the same old line I'm wondering why You hurt me then You're back again No, no, no, not a second time not a second time Not the second time no, no, no, no, no no, no no
Not A Care In The World Composer(s): Vernon Duke; John Latouche Performer(s): Peggy Lee; and various other artists
Though hope is low Im aglow when you smile at me Life is simple as A-B-C Not a thought in my head Not a care in the world Though skies are grey Im as gay as a Disney cow Not a wrinkle upon my brow Not a cent in the red Not a care in the world I view the scene like that queen of old Russia As Kate the Great used to state long ago "Nichevo!" So if I move in a groove with a giddy trot Im a trottin because Ive got Not a bean in my pot Not a care in the world
Though I cant jive I revive when I see your face Not a limp in my merry pace Not a crimp in my style Not a care in the world Though Im a wreck I can peck if you take a chance Not a shine on my blue serge pants Not a crack in my smile Not a care in the world Why should I fret when I bet on a sure thing? Like Nick the Greek used to say every day "Yip-i-ay!" So if Im struttin with nuttin ahead in store Theres a reason I said before Ill repeat it once more Not a care in the world
Quand je repense à nous J'ai le cur qui flambe un peu Comme au temps de nous deux Tu étais fou Comme ceux qui jouent leur cur et leur amour Et qui gagne toujours
Nostalgie Comme une image de Visconti Quand Venise a le cur gris Nostalgie Il pleut sur mes rêves et aussi Sur notre photographie
Et tes baisers de nacre Etaient pour moi comme des sacres de printemps Et de bonheur Mais dans tes yeux de slave Je me suis vue comme une esclave Et je crois bien que j'ai eu peur
Nostalgie Comme un violon de Vivaldi Quand la musique a le cur gris Nostalgie Il pleut sur mes rêves et aussi Sur notre photographie
Tu avais cette insolence Qui me faisait souvent violence Entre le rire et le mépris Tu avais l'air d'un roi Mais ton royaume c'était moi Je ne le comprends qu'aujourd'hui
Nostalgie Aux yeux de Modigliani Quand la palette a le cur gris Nostalgie Il pleut sur mes rêves et aussi Sur notre photographie Et je sais aujourd'hui Que sa vie On peut la perdre aussi
Nostalgias Tucumanas Composer(s): Atahualpa Yupanqui Performer(s): Paco de Lucia & E. Montoya
Noches de Tucumán luna la de Tafí Quién pudiera volverse para los cerros, ¡ ay, ay de mí! Zambas para bailar arpa, bombo y violín recuerdos y esperanzas en los pañuelos, ¡ ay, ay de mí!
¡ Suena guitarra fiel compañera ! Repiqueteando zambas la vida entera, ¡ ay, ay de mí!
Cerros color azul perfumados de azahar naranjales en mayo y en primavera los amancay
Noches de Tucumán luna la de Tafí Quién pudiera volverse para los cerros ¡ ay, ay de mí!
Jogamos nosso bolero Na ronda dos oceanos A vida vem como em ondas Dizia nosso poeta Nossa canção incompleta Pode esperar vinte anos O amor faz ondas redondas Até quebrar como eu quero
Como o meu jeito de amar se ajeitava com você Louco, eu não imaginava uma noite sem você Como é sincero poder Querer os pulsos cortar Como é bolero chegar E perder a coragem Foi tão bonito você me emprestar a vida assim Ver que eu não tinha saída e seguir por onde eu vim Como eu adoro você Quando você me sorri Quando sabemos que aqui Termina nossa viagem
Nosferatu Composer(s): Hugh Cornwell; Robert Williams Performer(s): Hugh Cornwell
Peelers whistle in the distance Stand no chance of catching on Horses gallop never faster Must get back before the dawn Slips away into the distance Cold grip on the carriage arm Lifeless eyes with no reflection We may die but he'll go on Nosferatu!
Nos Avocats Composer(s): Charles Aznavour Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
Nous avons vécu ensemble Aveuglés d'amour Mais le temps ne se ressemble Pas jour après jour Aujourd'hui la tendre guerre A cédé le pas Aux astuces et honoraires
Souviens-toi que notre route Ne fut pas aisée Nos parents ayant des doutes Étaient opposés À ce mariage précoce Dont l'issue est là À présent sont à la noce Que nos avocats
Tu fournis de fausses preuves Pourquoi s'en priver La pratique n'est pas neuve J'en ai au dossier Dans cette joute hypocrite Truffée de coup bas Nous avons l'accord tacite De nos avocats
Et s'il faut que l'on fignole Dans l'aberration On dira que tu es folle Que j'ai des liaisons Sans peur on peut s'en remettre Ils sont là pour ça À ceux qu'on appelle maître À nos avocats
S'il y a faux témoignages D'amis, de voisins Le juriste ne s'engage Pas sur ce terrain Ce genre de stratégie Est contraire en soi À la déontologie De nos avocats
On bloque le compte en banque Et pour l'occasion Aucun de nous n'est en manque D'imagination La procédure sévère Peut durer des mois Dans l'intérêt pécuniaire De nos avocats
Quand le verdict on le gobe Perdu ou gagné L'homme de loi plie sa robe Range ses dossiers Il a enfin clos l'affaire Faut passer par là C'est l'heure des honoraires De nos avocats
Mais bonne ou mauvaise cause Malgré quelques excès Ils seront les virtuoses De notre procès Avec plus ou moins de chance La loi c'est la loi Quelles qu'en soit les conséquences Et quoi qu'on en dise ou pense Il nous faut faire confiance À nos avocats
Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown) Composer(s): Paul McCartney; John Lennon Performer(s): The Beatles; and various other artists
I once had a girl Or should I say She once had me She showed me her room Isnt it good? Norwegian wood She asked my to stay and told me sit anywhere So I looked around and I noticed there wasnt a chair I sat on a rug Biding my time Drinking her wine We talked until two And then she said Its time for bed She told me she worked in the morning and started to laugh I told her I didnt, and crawled off to sleep in the bath And when I awoke I was alone This bird has flown So I lit a fire Isnt it good? Norwegian wood
