Isn't Life Strange
Isn't Life Strange
Composer(s): John Lodge
Performer(s): The Moody Blues
and multiple other artists
Isn't life strange
A turn of the page
Can read like before
Can we ask for more?
Each day passes by
How hard will man try?
The sea will not wait
You know it makes me want to cry, cry, cry
Wish I could be in your heart
To be one with your love
Wish I could be in your eyes
Looking back there you were, and here we are
Isn't life strange
A word we arrange
With no thought or care
Maker of despair
Each breath that we breathe
With love me must weave
To make us as one
Isn't life strange
A turn of a page
A book without light
Unless with love we write
To throw it away
To lose just a day
The quicksand of time

Nights On Broadway
Nights On Broadway
Composer(s): Barry Gibb; Maurice Gibb; Robin Gibb
Performer(s): The Bee Gees;
and various other artists
Here we are in the room full of strangers
Standing in the dark where your eyes couldn't see me
Well, I have to follow you
Though you didn't want me to
But that won't stop my lovin' you
I can't stay away
Blaming it all on the nights on Broadway
Singin' them love songs
Singin' them straight to the heart songs
Blamin' it all on the nights on Broadway
Singin' them sweet sounds
To that crazy, crazy town
Now in my place
There are so many others
Standin' in the line
How long will they stand between us?
Well, I have to follow you
Though you didn't want me to
But that won't stop my lovin' you
I can't stay away
Blaming it all on the nights on Broadway
Singin' them love songs
Singin' them straight to the heart songs
Blamin' it all on the nights on Broadway
Singin' them sweet sounds
To that crazy, crazy town
I will wait
even if it takes forever
I will wait
even if it takes a life time
Somehow I feel inside
You never ever left my side
Make it like it was before
Even if it takes a life time, takes a life time
Blaming it all on the nights on Broadway
Singin' them love songs
Singin' them straight to the heart songs
Blamin' it all on the nights on Broadway
Singin' them sweet sounds
To that crazy, crazy town

Isn't It Wonderful, Isn't It Swell
Isn't It Wonderful, Isn't It Swell
Composer(s): Lew Pollack; Sidney D. Mitchell
Performer(s): Will Osborne & His Orch.
Isn't it wonderful, isn't it swell
The spell of love, has so many charms
Isn't it wonderful, isn't it swell
You fell from heaven into my arms
I've been a blind one, I never knew
I'd ever find one, as lovely as you
Isn't it wonderful, can it be true
That you can see, something in me
Isn't it swell how wonderful love can be

Nights In White Satin
Nights In White Satin
Italian Titles: Un Po D'Amore; Ho Difeso Il Mio Amore
Composer(s): Justin Hayward
Performer(s): The Moody Blues
Nights in white satin never reaching the end
Letters I've written never meaning to send
Beauty I'd always missed with these eyes before
Just what the truth is
I can't say any more
'Cause I love you
Yes I love you
Oh how I love you
Gazing at people some hand in hand
Just what I'm going through they can't understand
Some try to tell me thoughts they cannot defend
Just what you want to be you'll be in the end
And I love you
Yes I love you
Oh how I love you, oh

Isn't It Romantic?
Isn't It Romantic?
Composer(s): Lorenz Hart; Richard Rodgers
First performance by: Maurice Chevalier, Rolfe Sedan, Bert Roach, Jeanette MacDonald - 1932
Covered by multiple other artists
I've never met you, yet never doubt, dear
I can't forget you, I've thought you out, dear
I know your profile and I know the way you kiss
just the things I miss on a night like this
If dreams are made of imagination
I'm not afraid of my own creation
With all my heart, my heart is here for you to take
Why should I quake? I'm not awake
Isn't it romantic?
Music in the night, a dream that can be heard
Isn't it romantic?
Moving shadows write the oldest magic word
I hear the breezes playing in the trees above
while all the world is saying you were meant for love
Isn't it romantic
merely to be young on such a night as this?
Isn't it romantic?
Every note that's sung is like a lover's kiss
Sweet symbols in the moonlight
do you mean that I will fall in love per chance?
Isn't it romance?
My face is glowing, I'm energetic
The art of sewing I found poetic
My needle punctuates the rhythm of romance
I don't give a stitch if I don't get rich
A custom tailor who has no custom
is like a sailor, no one will trust 'em
But there is magic in the music of my shears
I shed no tears, lend me your ears
Isn't it romantic?
Soon I will have found some girl that I adore
Isn't it romantic?
While I sit around my love can scrub the floor
She'll kiss me every hour or she'll get the sack
and when I take a shower she can scrub my back
Isn't it romantic?
On a moonlight night she'll cook me onion soup
Kiddies are romantic
and if we don't fight we soon will have a troupe
We'll help the population
it's a duty that we owe to dear old France
Isn't it romance?

Nights Are Forever Without You
Nights Are Forever Without You
Composer(s): Parker McGee
Performer(s): Dan Seals;
and various other artists
Lyin' in bed with the radio on
Moonlight falls like rain
Soft summer nights spent thinkin' of you
When will I see you again
Chorus:
Soft and low the music moans
I can't stop thinking about you
Thinkin' 'bout you
I didn't know it would be so strong
Waiting and wondering about you
I didn't know it would last so long
Nights are forever without you
The curtains still dance with the wind and the sky
The sun'll be coming up soon
But I just can't sleep for thinkin' of you
Here alone with the moon
(repeat Chorus)

Isn't It A Pity? (George Harrison)
Isn't It A Pity?
(Spanish Version: No Es Una Pena? - 2008)
Composer(s): George Harrison
First release by: George Harrison - 1970
Covered by multiple other artists
Isn't it a pity, isn't it a shame
How we break each other's hearts, and
cause each other pain
How we take each other's love, without
thinking anymore
Forgetting to give back
Isn't it a pity
Somethings take so long, but how do I
explain?
When not too many people can see we're
all the same
And because of all their tears, their eyes
can't hope to see
The beauty that surrounds them-oh
Isn't it a pity

Nightingale
Nightingale
Composer(s): Richard Coburn; Vincent Rose
Performer(s): Frederick S. Manning
Somewhere the nightingale is singing from above
he promised that he's be my messenger of love
and I am yearning for his returning
It seems that's all I'm thinking of
The nightingale knows why I'm feeling sad and blue
somehow I know that he is feeling lonesome too
that's why he's heeding my tender pleading
and sings to her the whole night thru
Nightingale when you are singing tenderly oh tell her nightingale
That it's a lover's melody just so whenever you are singing
she'll know the message you are bringing
nightingale bring back my love to me

No Es Una Pena?
No Es Una Pena?
(Adapted from: Isn't It A Pity? - 1970)
Composer(s): George Harrison; Pedro Aznar
Performer(s): Pedro Aznar - 2008
No te pone triste?
No te da dolor?
La crueldad de unos con otros
La sombra del rencor
Como a veces sin pensar
Tomamos el amor
Y no lo retribuimos
No te pone triste?
Las cosas llevan tiempo
No es fácil de explicar
Cuando tan poca gente
Ve al otro como igual
Y sus lagrimas sin fin
Quizás ya no le dejen ver
Lo bello que es el mundo
No te pone triste?
No te pone triste?
No te da dolor?
La crueldad de unos con otros
La sombra del rencor
Como a veces sin pensar
Tomamos el amor
Y no lo retribuimos
No te pone triste?

Nighthawkin'
Nighthawkin'
Composer(s): Tim Buckley
Performer(s): Tim Buckley
I was a nighthawkin' in my taxi
My fare was a shaky ol' lush
So I kicked it over and took off
Then he whipped out this switch blade
Straight outta nowhere level to my throat
He said "See reb I've been over to the war boy"
I said "I was a combat paratrooper daddy"
Well now he slupped back cool and he pocket that steel
He said "Get me down to fourth and main"

Isn't It A Pity? (George Givot & Josephine Huston)
Isn't It A Pity?
Composer(s): George Gershwin; Ira Gershwin
First performance by: George Givot & Josephine Huston - 1933
Covered by multiple other artists
Why did I wander here and there and yonder
Wasting precious time for no reason or rhyme?
Isn't it a pity? Isn't it a crime?
My journey's ended, everything is splendid
Meeting you today
Has given me a wonderful idea - here I stay
It's a funny thing
I look at you, I get a thrill I never knew
Isn't it a pity we never met before?
Here we are at last
It's like a dream, the two of us a perfect team
Isn't it a pity we never met before?
Imagine all the lonely years we've wasted
You with the neighbors, I at silly labors
What joys untasted
You reading Heine, me somewhere in China
Let's forget the past
Let's both agree that I'm for you and you're for me
And it's such a pity we never, never met before
Imagine all the lonely year's we've wasted
Fishing for salmon, losing at backgammon
What joys untasted
My nights were sour spent with Schopenhauer
Let's forget the past
Let's both agree that I'm for you and you're for me
And it's such a pity we never, never met before

Isle Of Islay
Isle Of Islay
Composer(s): Donovan Leitch
Performer(s): Donovan; Jerry Peel; Winter Flowers
How high the gulls fly o'er Islay
How sad the farm lad deep in play
Felt like a grain on your sand
How well the sheep's bell music makes
Rovin' the cliff when fancy takes
Felt like the tide left me here
How blest the forest with birds' song
How neat the cut peat laid so long
Felt like a seed on your land
How high the gulls fly o'er Islay
How sad the farm lad deep in play
Felt like the tide left me here
Felt like a grain on your sand
Felt like a grain on your sand

Nightclubbing we're nightclubbing

Oh isn't it wild?
Nightclubbing we're nightclubbing
We're walking through town
Nightclubbing we're nightclubbing
We walk like a ghost
We learn dances brand new dances
Like the nuclear bomb
When we're nightclubbing
Bright white clubbing
Oh isn't it wild...

Isle Of Hope, Isle Of Tears
Isle Of Hope, Isle Of Tears
Composer(s): Brendan Graham
Performer(s): Seán Keane
and multiple other artists
On the first day on January
Eighteen ninety-two
They opened Ellis Island and they let
The people through
And the first to cross the treshold
Of that isle of hope and tears
Was Annie Moore from Ireland
Who was all of fifteen years
Isle of hope, isle of tears
Isle of freedom, isle of fears
But it's not the isle you left behind
That isle of hunger, isle of pain
Isle you'll never see again
But the isle of home is always on your mind
In a little bag she carried
All her past and history
And her dreams for the future
In the land of liberty
And courage is the passport
When your old world disappears
But there's no future in the past
When you're fifteen years
Isle of hope, isle of tears
Isle of freedom, isle of fears
But it's not the isle you left behind
That isle of hunger, isle of pain
Isle you'll never see again
But the isle of home is always on your mind
When they closed down Ellis Island
In nineteen fourty-three
Seventeen million people
Had come there for sanctuary
And in Springtime when I came here
And I stepped onto it's piers
I thought of how it must have been
When you're fifteen years
Isle of hope, isle of tears
Isle of freedom, isle of fears
But it's not the isle you left behind
That isle of hunger, isle of pain
Isle you'll never see again
But the isle of home is always on your mind

Nightbird
Nightbird
Composer(s): Stevie Nicks; Sandy Stewart
Performer(s): Stevie Nicks
And the summer became the fall
I was not ready for the winter
It makes no difference at all
Cause I wear boots all summer long
My makeup dark and it's careless
Same circles around my eyes
Sometimes the real color of my skin
Is my eyes without any shadow
And when I call
Will you walk gently
Through my shadow
The ones who sing at night
The ones who sing at night
The ones you dream of
The ones who walk away
With their capes pulled around them tight
Cryin for the night
Cry for the nightbird tonight
The winter's really here now
And the blankets that I love
Sometimes I am surrounded
By too much love
And when I call
Will you walk gently
Through my shadow
The ones who sing at night
The ones who sing at night
The ones you dream of
The ones who walk away
With their capes pulled around them tight
Cryin for the night
Cry for the nightbird tonight

Isle Of Capri
Isle Of Capri
Composer(s): Will Grosz; Jimmy Kennedy
Performer(s): Frank Sinatra
and multiple other artists
`t Was on the Isle of Capri that I found her
Beneath the shade of an old walnut tree
Oh, I can still see the flowers blooming round her
Where we met on the Isle of Capri
She was as sweet as a rose at the dawning
But somehow fate hadn't meant her for me
And though I sailed with the tide in the morning
Still my heart's on the Isle of Capri
Summertime was nearly over
Blue Italian sky above
I said "Lady, I'm a rover,
Can you spare a sweet word of love?"
She whispered softly "It's best not to linger"
And then as I kissed her hand I could see
She wore a lovely meatball on her finger
't Was goodbye at the Villa Capri
Summertime was nearly over
Blue Italian sky above
I said "Lady, I'm a rover,
Can you spare a fine word of love?"
She whispered softly "It's best not to linger"
And then as I kissed her hand I could see
She wore a plain golden ring on her finger
't Was goodbye on the Isle of Capri
't Was goodbye on the Isle of Capri
't Was goodbye on the Isle of Capri

Night Vision
Night Vision
Composer(s): K. Elam; Victor Flowers; Isaac Hayes
Performer(s): Guru & Isaac Hayes
(Isaac Hayes)
When the sun goes down and the moon comes up
You can see a lot of things if you look deep enough
It's all around
(Guru)
The city skyline, in the nighttime, be the right time, to ball out
(Yeah) Who's the real pimp, gangster hustler, you call out
Is it him, is it him or is it, Dukes over there?
Real recognizes real, so yo, no one cares
The chief executive mack, in so deep you can't imagine
I've seen the beatdowns, the gunfights, plus the paddywagon
See daddy with his pants saggin, pushin whips that's too fly
Switchin up to a suit and tie, ladies say he's too cute to lie
(Forget about it) And none of my girls, wanna, talk to you
Plus, none of my boys, gotta, talk to you
Cause when you see me, they'll be somewhere in the cut
And you can't be me, so nip that weak talk in the butt
The party's crowded, and everyone, is showin love
Whassup, what's the deal, how's things holdin up?
(Whassup young blood?)
The smooth dude, that moves through, with the utmost precision
Truly a wiseguy, seein life with my night vision
(Isaac Hayes)
See that young blood, comin down the street
Don't be hypnotized by the stride of his feet..
Pickpockets.. streetwalkers.. number runners.. hustlers
(Guru)
Lots of ladies, wanna, check me out
And lots of haters, wanna, X me out
I got more style than Gucci, Louis or Prada
Drop more jewels on you, than your uncle or father
Once this envious kid, was temptin me kid
to stoop down to his level and cold empty his wig
He was mad cause his girl wanted up in my world (hahahaha)
I looked the other way, and she was still, stuck in my world
Aiyyo; baby wants to run with me, come with me, have fun with me
I be the man when I'm dipped, or in a t-shirt, and dungarees
I overheard her man, that was screamin in her ear
while I nodded to my peeps, who was schemin in the rear
If he's gon' flip, he's gonna, find out quick
That I stroll with a click, and we roll mad thick
He shook my hand and laughed it off, that was his best decision
We keep it tight aight? Hangin out, with that night vision
(Isaac Hayes)
I bust into this night club
I can see you perpetraters
Passin out your BID'ness cards
Wearin your knockoff gators
Pimps.. heartbreakers.. dumb-ass Johns..
You got to make a decision, to go witcha instincts
and rely on your night vision
