Train In Vain Composer(s): Mick Jones - Joe Strummer First release: The Clash- 1979 Covered by multiple other artists
Say you stand by your man Tell me something I don't understand You said you love me and that's a fact Then you left me, said you felt trapped
Well some things you can explain away But my heartache's in me till this day
Did you stand by me No, not at all Did you stand by me No way
All the times When we were close I'll remember these things the most I see all my dreams come tumbling down I won't be happy without you around
So all alone I keep the wolves at bay There is only one thing that I can say
Did you stand by me No, not at all Did you stand by me No way
You must explain why this must be Did you lie when you spoke to me
Did you stand by me No, not at all
Now I got a job But it don't pay I need new clothes I need somewhere to stay But without all these things I can do But without your love I won't make it through
But you don't understand my point of view I suppose there's nothing I can do
Did you stand by me No, not at all Did you stand by me No way
You must explain why this must be Did you lie when you spoke to me?
Did you stand by me Did you stand by me No, not at all Did you stand by me No way Did you stand by me No, not at all Did you stand by me No way
I met my baby in Macys in Gentlemens Underwear I met my baby in Macys and thats where I learned to care We looked at a cottage on the Mezzanine With a toaster and an iron and a washing machine I met my baby in Macys in Gentlemens Underwear
I asked my baby to wed me in higher-priced Langerie I asked my baby and said we should honeymoon rightaway Should head right for heaven on the 2nd floor And well buy all the romance that theyve got in the store I asked my baby to wed me in higher-priced Langerie
And then my baby refused me and told me she didnt care I found my baby in Macys so I just returned her there Theyre giving me credit but Im all alone So I think Ill take the door, see what Gimballs are showin Who wants my baby in Macys in Gentlemens Underwear I left my heart on one of those clothing trees Between the mens cologne and the b.b.b. When I lost my baby in Macys in Gentlemens Underwear
Just Tell Her Jim Said Hello Composer(s): Jerry Leiber; Mike Stoller Performer(s): Elvis Presley
She's sitting right over there I'd know that face anywhere I'd run up and embrace her But Im ashamed to face her Just tell her Jim said hello
I'd like to pour out my heart But I don't know where to start I'd like to tell her What Im really feeling but Just tell her Jim said hello
Just tell her Jim said hello Just tell her Jim and she'll know
Don't tell her Im feeling blue That's just between me and you Don't say Im thinking of her Don't tell her I still love her Just tell her Jim said hello
Just tell her Jim said hello Just tell her Jim said hello Just tell her Jim said hello
I love the fresh air, it's great, I declare Wide open spaces for me With trailer and car I set out afar A rover I meant to be Over the hills and dales Over the slugs and snails Trailing around in a trailer Eee, it's champion campin' out
It's just like a real gypsy life To make it look more real, a gypsy lent me his wife I'd only one pair of pyjamas It was awkward there's no doubt We shared the suit between us, but we found it too tight She had got the left leg on, so I put on the right The tape it broke and I never got a wink of sleep all night Eee, it's champion campin' out
On a farm t'other night, I was doin' all right A dairy maid sat on me knee One kiss it begun at a quarter-to-one And it lasted till half-past-three For breakfast we'd eggs and ham Then I thought it was time to scram and go Ttrailin around in me trailer Eee, it's champion campin' out
To shut the window one day I tried I banged it in a hurry with me head still inside When I was doin' some fishin' A girl strayed round about She smiled and whispered, "Any luck?", she seemed a gay spark As far as fishin' went, it's true me luck was off the mark But I had a bit of luck with her as soon as it was dark Eee, it's champion campin' out

Traigo el corazón herido Escondido aquí en mi pecho No se escuchan sus latidos Por el mal que tú le has hecho Traigo el corazón herido Él está que ya se muere Y hay un solo responsable Este tonto que te quiere Traigo el corazón herido Y lo dejo aquí en tu puerta Si la cierras me lo matas Tienes que dejarla abierta Tú sabes que está en tus manos Que se salve o que se muera Se salva si lo recoges Se muere si queda afuera Tú sabes que está en tus manos Escucha bien lo que digo Mi corazón se me muere Si no se queda contigo

Tragic Romance Composer(s): Louis Marshall Jones - Zeke Morris - Wiley Morris Performer(s): Cowboy Copas and multiple other artists
Nestled in the heart of the Tennessee hills Midst peaceful pines 'neath the rocks and the rills There stands my old homestead of long years ago Brings back sweet memories of the one I loved so
I courted a maiden so sweet and so fair With pearly blue eyes and with chestnut brown hair She promised to love and said she'd be mine But I went away leaving her there behind
I'll tell you the reason why I left her there To roam this old world with its sorrow and cares I saw her one night in the arms of a man Hugging and kissing as true lovers can
I went to my home with a heart full of woe Packed my belongings, determined to go For many long years this old world I did roam With thoughts of my sweetheart, my darling, my own
While dining one day in a little country town A stranger came in and he chanced to sit down While talking of loved ones I happened to find That his sister was that old sweetheart of mine
Now, I am the man who you saw that fateful night Wrapped in the arms of my sister so tight She waited so long for the day you'd return And why you had left her she never did learn
When he heard my story to me then he said The one that you loved has a long time been dead She loved you so dearly, but you broke her heart Poor stranger, from her ever more you must part
I Me Mine Composer(s): George Harrison First release by: The Beatles - 1970 Covered by multiple other artists
All through the day I me mine, I me mine, I me mine All through the night I me mine, I me mine, I me mine Mow they're frightened of leaving it Everyone's reading it coming on strong all the time
All through the day I me mine I me, me, mine, I me, me, mine I me, me, mine
All I can hear I me mine, I me mine, I me mine Even those tears I me mine, I me mine, I me mine No one's frightened of playing it Everyone's saying it Flowing more freely than wine
All through the day I me mine I me, me, mine, I me, me, mine I me, me, mine
All I can hear I me mine, I me mine, I me mine Even those tears I me mine, I me mine, I me mine No one's frightened of playing it Everyone's saying it Flowing more freely that wine
Just Remember I Love You Composer(s): Rick Roberts Performer(s): Firefall; Beki Hemingway; Barry Manilow
When it all goes crazy and the thrill is gone The days get rainy and the nights get long When you get that feelin' you were born to lose Staring at your ceiling thinkin' of your blues
When there's so much trouble that you want to cry The world has crumbled and you don't know why When your hopes are fading and they can't be found Dreams have left you waiting, friends have let you down
Just remember I love you And it'll be alright Just remember I love you More than I can say Maybe then your blues will fade away
When you need a lover and you're down so low Start to wonder, but you never know When it feels like sorrow is your only friend Knowing that tomorrow you'll feel this way again
When the blues come callin' at the break of dawn Rain keeps fallin', but the rainbow's gone When you feel like crying but the tears won't come When your dreams are dyin', when you're on the run
Just remember I love you And it'll be alright Just remember I love you More than I can say Just remember I love you And it'll be alright It'll be alright It'll be alright It'll be alright

Here I lie in a lost and lonely part of town Held in time In a world of tears I slowly drown Goin' home I just can't make it all alone I really should be holding you Holding you Loving you loving you
Tragedy When the feeling's gone and you can't go on It's tragedy When the morning cries and you don't know why It's hard to bear With no-one to love you you're goin' nowhere Tragedy When you lose control and you got no soul It's tragedy When the morning cries and you don't know why It's hard to bear With no-one beside you you're goin' nowhere When the feeling's gone and you can't go on
Night and day there's a burning down inside of me Burning love With a yearning that won't let me be Down I go and I just can't take it all alone I really should be holding you Holding you Loving you loving
Tragedy When the feeling's gone and you can't go on It's tragedy When the morning cries and you don't know why It's hard to bear With no-one to love you you're goin' nowhere Tragedy When you lose control and you got no soul It's tragedy When the morning cries and you don't know why It's hard to bear With no-one beside you you're goin' nowhere
