No Mercy (The Stranglers)
No Mercy
Composer(s): The Stranglers
Performer(s): The Stranglers
Everyday you're working like a slave
Sweating buckets hoping that you get it right
Will it be as tough tomorrow
have to wait and see
Life shows no mercy
Everyday your love is getting warmer
Just look at her and I love her
did you get it right?
Will she soothe your brow with kisses only meant for thee?
She'll show no mercy
she'll show no mercy
And when you hold her close to you
Just when you're feeling good it's true
Life shows no mercy
life shows no mercy
Life shows no mercy
life shows no mercy
Everybody has some secret wishes
Just keep your fingers crossed
maybe they'll all come true
But don't worry if they just remain a fantasy
Life shows no mercy
Everybody seems the same all over
The search is on for love and comfort constantly
If it comes your way tomorrow count yourself lucky
Life shows no mercy
life shows no mercy
And when you hold her close to you
. . .
Life shows no mercy
life shows no mercy
life shows no mercy
no mercy
Life shows no mercy
no mercy
life shows no mercy
no mercy
Life shows no mercy
no mercy
life shows no mercy
no mercy
Life shows no mercy
no mercy
life shows no mercy
no mercy

It Happens To Be Me
It Happens To Be Me
Composer(s): Sammy Gallop; Arthur Kent
Performer(s): Nat King Cole
and multiple other artists
Someone longs for you and your caress
He's learning now how empty arms can be
Someone who used to know your kiss not long ago
That someone happens to be me
How he misses you and must confess
Without you he's like driftwood on the sea
He's just a dreamer who is still in love with you
That dreamer happens to be me
I'll never know just why we parted
It's more than I can comprehend
I only know when you departed
You started a night that has no end
Perhaps there'll come a time when you're alone
Your heart still haunted by a memory
If then you chance to find there's someone on your mind
I hope it happens to be me
Perhaps there'll come a time when you're alone
Your heart still haunted by a memory
If then you chance to find there's someone on your mind
I hope it happens to be me
I hope it happens to be me

No Mercy (Nils Lofgren)
No Mercy
Composer(s): Nils Lofgren
Performer(s): Nils Lofgren
Out for the first - the atmosphere is heavy
World title lays on the line
Strong and proud he is much older
I am the faster I’m in my prime
Third round late he starts to tire
Open cut over his left eye
Smelling blood attack is relentless
In the back seats I see his girl cry
Cry - No mercy, no quarter
No place to hide for me and the man
Lefts and rights never came in harder
No mercy, take it while you can - now!
No mercy take it while you can
Back in my corner they scream "No mercy!"
"Put him away, don’t let him recover!"
Someone’s eyes drills holes in my head
It is his proud determined mother
Cry - No mercy, no quarter
No place to hide for me or the man
Right and wrong never came in harder
No mercy, take it while you can - now!
No mercy, take it while you can
I wish another could do this thing for me
His eyes are flooded, doubt he can even see
I hungered this title but now it don’t seem right
I fight back tears while I destroy his life
Cry - No mercy, no quarter
No place to hide for me and the man
Lefts and rights never came in harder
No mercy , take it while you can - now!
No mercy take it while you can
Cry - No mercy, no quarter
No place to hide for me or the man
Right and wrong never came in harder
No mercy, take it while you can - now!
No mercy, take it while you can

Passion Flower
Passion Flower
Composer(s): Billy Strayhorn
Performer(s): Nancy Wilson
and multiple other artists
Passion flower
Sent from the blue above
You're a flower of love
Passion flower
Free as a star in flight
Laughing through the night
Your lips keep taunting me
Not wanting me
Yet haunting me
Each day!
Stay with me
My passion flower
You are all I'm dreaming of
Passion flower of love!
Passion flower of love!

No Me Trates Así
Composer(s): José L. Flores
Performer(s): Javier Solis
No me trates así no seas mala conmigo
ya no me hagas sufrir por Dios te lo pido
Por qué me tratas mal si soy bueno contigo

¿Por qué me haces llorar si no te doy motivo?
¿Por qué me tratas mal si soy bueno contigo?
Por qué me tratas mal si soy bueno contigo
no quieras acabar con nuestro gran cariño
¿Por qué me haces llorar si no te doy motivo?
¿Por qué me tratas mal si soy bueno contigo?

It Happens Everyday
It Happens Everyday
Composer(s): Carly Simon
Carly Simon; Les Paul
It happens everyday
Two lovers with the best intentions to stay
Together, they decide to separate
Just how it happens neither is certain
But it happens everyday
It happens everyday
After you break up you say these words to your friends
"How could I have loved that boy?"
"He was so bad to me in the end"
Well, you make him a liar
Turn him into a robber
Well, it happens everyday
But I don't regret that I loved you
How I loved you I will never forget
And in time I'll look back and remember
The boy that I knew when we first met
Still, it happens everyday
Two lovers turn and twist their love into hate
But am I so different from that young girl you used to date?
You used to adore me
You used to adore me
Still, it happens every……day
Whoo-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Everyday, yeah, yeah, yeah

Pacific Coast Blues
Pacific Coast Blues
Composer(s): Wilbert Barranco; Charles Mingus
Performer(s): Dinah Washington; Charles Mingus; Lucky Thompson
Well, the mornin' sun is risin' and I'm sittin' on your back door step
Yes, I'm just a fugitive from slumber, can't count one hour that I've slept!
I'm just as blue as the Pacific, and I know my eyes are just as wet!
Yes, I thought you loved me baby, but I guess I didn't know the score
And I'd give a dozen daydreams to hold you in my arms once more!
And if you ever need me, you'll find me waitin' for you at your door
So baby, think it over, don't let another day pass by
Come on and talk to me daddy, tell mama just one more soothin' lie!
If I can't have your lovin', I'm gonna kiss this world goodbye!

No Me Mires Así
No Me Mires Así
Composer(s): Raul Abramzon; Leonardo Schultz
Performer(s): José Feliciano;
and various other artists
No me mires así
que me estoy volviendo loco
no te acerques a mí
que me matas poco a poco
cuando miras así
reconozco tu mensaje
tu me quieres tener
y yo, enamorarte
No me mires así
que te siento con mi cuerpo
tu me quieres encender
con las llamas de tu fuego
cuando miras así
y no quieres entregarte
tu te ríes de mí
y eso a nadie se le hace
Si hay miradas que matan
la tuya me dio en el corazón
y el calor que proyectan tus ojos
es más fuerte que el sol
si hay miradas que matan
me muero y me muero por ti
y por eso te imploro
no sigas mirándome así
No me mires así
que no puedo controlarme
no podría resistir
el deseo de abrazarte
cuando miras así
y no quieres entregarte
tu te ríes de mí
y eso a nadie se le hace
Si hay miradas que matan.....

It Happened To Jane
It Happened To Jane
Title song from the film "It Happened To Jane" (1959)
Composer(s): Joe Lubin; L.J. Roth
Performer(s): Doris Day
Love can be stormy or filled with sun
Full of sadness or with fun
It's a thrill when you're the lucky one
(It happened to Jane)
Love can be tender or even cruel
Make the wise man such a fool
But there's one exception to the rule
(It happened to Jane)
Love is like an April shower
It takes you unaware
Love is like a summer flower
It needs a lot of care
Love can be cold or warm as spring
High and low just like a swing
It can end up with a wedding ring
It happened to, it happened to Jane

No Me Hables Más De Amor
No Me Hables Más De Amor
Composer(s): Raul Abramzon; Leonardo Schultz
Performer(s): José Feliciano; Shirley Bassey
No me hables más de amor...... nunca más
no insistas por favor.....nunca más
no puedo soportar
la pena que me da
No me hables más de amor...... nunca más
no insistas por favor.....nunca más
no quiero escuchar
prefiero olvidar
Ya no me engaño más
con tus palabras ni tu voz
perdí mis tontas ilusiones
mi llanto mi llanto se seco
Ya no me engaño más
ya muchas veces te creí
tus besos fueron una farsa
pagué mi precio y aprendí
No me hables más de amor...... nunca más
no insistas por favor.....nunca más
si dices la verdad
por Dios....demuéstralo
Solo
Ya no me engaño más
con tus palabras ni tu voz.......

Oh! You Have No Idea!
Oh! You Have No Idea!
Composer(s): Dan Dougherty; Phil Ponce
Performer(s): Sophie Tucker
and multiple other artists
There's a man
There's a ma
Has the old maids wishin'
For new ambition
Every time they see him passing along
What a man!
What a man!
He's a real live petter
A sweetheart getter
When I tell you I'm not telling you wrong!
Has he arms that are big and strong?
Does he know where those arms belong?
Oh! You have no idea!
Has he ways that I love so much?
Does he speak with his sense of touch?
Oh! You have no idea!
He's got a million in the bank
And that helps a lot!
But say, that million in the bank
Is only part of what he got!
Gosh oh gee, do I wanna swear!
Could he answer a maiden's prayer?
Oh! You have no idea!
Has he lips all the girls adore?
Does he know what he's got 'em for?
Oh! You have no conception!
Has he eyes that are full of love?
Do they show what he's thinking of?
Oh! You have no idea!
He's got that whatsy-whatsy-what
What people can't name,
And say, that whatsy-whatsy-what
Would make the wildest woman tame!
Hot as fire, all the girls agree
Does he spark when he's out with me?
Oh! You have no idea!
Does he love like a desert sheik?
When he necks, can he make 'em weep?
Oh! You have no realisation!
Has he got what the girls all crave?
When they're with him, does he behave?
Come to me for information"
He claims he's travelled quite a lot
In far distant lands
I don't know if it's true or not
But boy, he sure has travellin' hands!
Like an auto, he changes speed
Has he got what his Sophie need?
Oh! You have no idea!

No Me Dejes Caer
No Me Dejes Caer
Composer(s): Miguel Mateos
Performer(s): Miguel Mateos
Cuando caiga la noche
no haya nadie aquí
y el calor de la ciudad
me castigue sin piedad
tendré que sonreir (ji ji)
A tu sombra implacable
a mi desolación
aunque se haga polvo el mundo
en el último segundo
tu secreto es mi canción
Oh nena no me dejes
no me dejes caer por favor
no me dejes solo en el río
Como un enmascarado
mil noches sin dormir
cierro puertas y ventanas
para que el sol de la mañana
no me descubra así (oh oh)
con las manos atadas
como perros de ciudad
con la tele andando a mil
sin fuerzas de seguir
amando un souvenir
Oh nena no me dejes
no me dejes caer por favor
no me dejes solo en el río
No me dejes
no me dejes caer por favor
no me dejes tan solo en el río
Oh nena no me dejes
no me dejes caer por favor
no me dejes solo en el río...

It Happened In New Orleans (aka Rainbow On The River)
Performer(s): Bobby Breen
There's a rainbow on the river
The skies are clearing
You'll soon be hearing
A melody all the day long!
Let you and I go sailing
Along the rippling stream
Holding hands together
Together we'll dream!

No Me Cuentes Tu Historia
No Me Cuentes Tu Historia
Performer(s): Pedro Aznar
No quiero oir el resúmen de tu vida
Ni averiguar si estás de vuelta o de ida
No me importa qué hiciste ayer
Hoy pienso en vos y estoy loco por tenerte
Pero después puede que ni quiera verte
Y eso me hace desearte más
Por qué insistís en seguir corriendo el tren
Si lo perdés aunque espere en el andén
No quiero que me escuches
Ni te quiero entender
No me cuentes tu historia
No la quiero saber
Por qué intentás abrumarme con detalles?
No ves que así el misterio se deshace?
Date tiempo para respirar!
Un caminante que respeta el camino
No deja huellas y se entrega a su destino
Un buen amante no habla demás
Por qué insistís en seguir corriendo el tren
Si lo perdés aunque espere en el andén
Por eso es que
No quiero que me escuches
Ni te quiero entender
No me cuentes tu historia
No la quiero saber

Now You're Gone
Now You're Gone
Composer(s): Bobby Darin
Performer(s): Bobby Darin
I woke up this mornin' feelin'
Just as though my head were reelin'
Reelin' from a dream I had last night
Then I turned and faced your pillow
Wept just like the weepin' willow
Seems like the dream I had was right
You were gone
And the love I was givin' is (Gone)
And the reason for livin' is (Gone)
But the memory of your love lives on
'Til the day that Heaven calls me
No arms'll ever hold me
My love and happiness are gone
I sit here just thinkin' 'bout you
Wonderin' how I'll live without you
Tryin' to figure out what I did wrong
But I guess it doesn't matter
If you found-a someone better
I'll be here when that someone is gone
Yes, you're gone
And the love I was givin' is (Gone)
And the reason for livin' is (Gone)
But the memory of your love lives on
'Til the day that Heaven calls me
No arms'll ever hold me
My love and happiness are gone
'Til the day that Heaven calls me
No arms'll ever hold me
My love and happiness are gone
My love and happiness are gone
My love and happiness are gone

No Me Comprendo
No Me Comprendo
Composer(s): Don Backy
Performer(s): Raphael
A veces yo no me comprendo
No me conozco, no me entiendo
Las cosas raras que me pasan
Me vuelven loco
Quiero gritarte y te acaricio
Quiero quererte y te desprecio
Me creo listo y soy un necio
Que solo te ama sin amarte
Quiero mimarte y te hago daño
Te digo voy y tardo un año
Te digo vete y te sujeto
Quiero matarte y te respeto
Ay, ay, ay, ay
No me comprendo ya lo ves
Soy un extraño para mi
Frente al espejo pienso
¿Quien sere yo?
¿Quien es el tonto que me mira
Que va vestido con mi traje?
¿Quien mete el coche en mi garaje?
¿Quien va bebiendose mi vida?
Y mientras tanto aqui me tengo
Tan imposible y tan cercano
Tan gigantesco y tan enano
Tan sin saber si voy o vengo
Ay, ay, ay, ay
No me comprendo y se muy bien
Que el tiempo pasa mientras yo
Estoy queriendo tanto, tanto
Sin querer
Que quiero estar y no se estar
Que quiero darte y no se darte
Que quiero ser y no se ser
Que quiero amarte sin amarte
Intento hablarte de mis sueños
Y no consigo convencerte
Intento solamente verte
Pero te escondo y no te encuentro
Ay, ay, ay, ay
A veces yo no me comprendo
No me conozco, no me entiendo
Y me pregunto cara a cara
¿Quien soy yo?
Quiero gritarte y te acaricio
Quiero quererte y te desprecio
Me creo listo y soy un necio
Que solo te ama sin amarte
Y mientras tanto aqui me tengo
Tan imposible y tan cercano
Tan gigantesco y tan enano
Tan sin saber si voy o vengo
Ay, ay, ay, ay

It Happened In Monterey
It Happened In Monterey
Composer(s): Billy Rose; Mabel Wayne
First performance by: John Boles, Jeanette Loff, The Sisters G, George Chiles & the Russell Market Dancers - 1930
Covered by multiple other artists
In my imagination I'm finding consolation
Somewhere along the Rio Grande
Sadly I'm reminiscing, madly again I'm kissing
Someone along the Rio Grande
It happened in Monterey a long time ago
I met her in Monterey in old Mexico
Stars and steel guitars and luscious lips as red as wine
Broke somebody's heart and I'm afraid that it was mine
It happened in Monterey without thinking twice
I left her and threw away the Key to Paradise
My indiscreet heart longs for the sweetheart
That I left in old Monterey
