The Night Chicago Died
The Night Chicago Died
Composer(s): Peter Callander - Mitch Murray
First release by: Paper Lace - 1974
Covered by multiple other artists
My daddy was a cop on the east side of Chicago
Back in the U.S.A. back in the bad old days
In the heat of a summer night
In the land of the dollar bill
When the town of Chicago died
And they talk about it still
When a man named Al Capone
Tried to make that town his own
And he called his gang to war
With the forces of the law
I heard my mama cry
I heard her pray the night Chicago died
Brother what a night it really was
Brother what a fight it really was
Glory be!
I heard my mama cry
I heard her pray the night Chicago died
Brother what a night the people saw
Brother what a fight the people saw
Yes indeed!
And the sound of the battle rang
Through the streets of the old east side
'Til the last of the hoodlum gang
Had surrendered up or died
There was shouting in the street
And the sound of running feet
And I asked someone who said
"'Bout a hundred cops are dead!"
I heard my mama cry
I heard her pray the night Chicago died
Brother what a night it really was
Brother what a fight it really was
Glory be!
I heard my mama cry
I heard her pray the night Chicago died
Brother what a night the people saw
Brother what a fight the people saw
Yes indeed!
And ther was no sound at all
But the clock upon the wall
Then the door burst open wide
And my daddy stepped inside
And he kissed my mama's face
And he brushed her tears away
The night Chicago died
Na-na na, na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na
The night Chicago died
Brother what a night the people saw
Brother what a fight the people saw
Yes indeed!
The night Chicago died
Na-na na, na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na
The night Chicago died
Brother what a night it really was
Brother what a fight it really was
Glory be!
The night Chicago died
Na-na na, na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na
The night Chicago died
Brother what a night the people saw
Brother what a fight the people saw
Yes indeed!

Cigarette Of A Single Man
Cigarette Of A Single Man
Composer(s): Chris Difford - Glenn Tilbrook
Performer(s): Squeeze
The cigarette of a single man
Burns in the ashtray by his bed
He pulls the ring of another can
And holds it up beside his head
The book he reads is on the floor
He’s read it several times before
What you got to go home to?
The cigarette of a single man
Sits in the ashtray on the bar
He sits and sifts through several plans
But knows alone he won’t go far
He needs the love another has
To help him, if another can
The cigarette of a single man
Lays in the gutter by his side
Now he’s one of those little lambs
Who strayed too far from the flock to find
He’s better off without the grief
That people wear between their teeth
And in his mouth as he’s asleep
The cigarette of a single man

Remember (Anthony Newley)
Remember
Composer(s): Anthony Newley
Performer(s): Anthony Newley
I wonder where you are tonight
And who'll be there when you turn out the light
Will he pull you close and hold you tight
The way that I did
I live in this bed of tears
That we shed throughout the golden years
Will he brush away your secret fears
The way that I did
Is it just a stranger, just another fool
Someone you can use the way you sometimes do
Or is it someone in your arms who can break your life in two
Take you to the highest high and make you feel brand new
The way that I did
I wonder what is in your eyes
Are they full of happiness and smiles
Or does he just make you cry
The way that I did
Is it just a stranger, just another fool
Someone you can use the way you sometimes do
Or is it someone in your arms who can break your life in two
Take you to the highest high and make you feel brand new
The way that I did
I wonder where you are tonight
And who'll be there when you turn out the light
Will he pull you close and hold you tight
The way that I did
Is it just a stranger, just another fool
Someone you can use the way you sometimes do
Or is it someone in your arms who can break your life in two
Take you to the highest high and make you feel brand new
The way that I did
The way that I did
The way that I did
The way that I did

The Night Before
The Night Before
((French Version: Un Certain Soir (Renée Martel) - 1969))
Composer(s): John Lennon - Paul McCartney
First release by: The Beatles - 1965
Covered by multiple other artists
We said our goodbyes
Love was in your eyes
Now today I find
You have changed you mind
Treat me like you did the night before
Were you telling lies?
Was I so unwise?
When I held you near
You were so sincere
Treat me like you did the night before
Last night is the night
I will remember you by
When I think of things we did
It makes me wanna cry
We said our goodbyes
Love was in your eyes
Now today I find
You have changed you mind
Treat me like you did the night before
When I held you near
You were so sincere
Treat me like you did the night before
Last night is the night
I will remember you by
When I think of things we did
It makes me wanna cry
Were you telling lies?
Was I so unwise?
When I held you near
You were so sincere
Treat me like you did the night before
Like the night before

Cigarette In The Rain
Cigarette In The Rain
Composer(s): Barry Coffing - Ruth McCartney
Performer(s): Randy Crawford; Cynthia Schloss
I guess the end is near
The reasons now are clear
Still it seems strange somehow to fall in love
Only to find that love is not enough
Like a cigarette in the rain
A single drop would stop the flame
We were lovers, but we were never friends
I should known that it won't end
When the first dawn came
Like a cigarette in the rain
What a cruel twist of fate
To watch our love turn to hate
All of the arguments, the needless fights
Nothing in common, but our sleepless nights
Like a cigarette in the rain
A single drop would stop the flame
We were lovers, but we were never friends
I should known that it won't end
When the first dawn came
Like a cigarette in the rain
Heard the thunder miles away
Didn't think that it work out this way
The storm and it rained all night
Washed away your love before the morning light
Like a cigarette in the rain
A single drop would stop the flame
We were lovers, but we were never, never friends
I should known that it won't end
When the first dawn came
Like a cigarette in the rain
Like a cigarette in the rain

Composer(s): Gabriella Ferri
Performer(s): Gabriella Ferri
Remedios, niña pequeña, chiquita, hermosa, preciosa
Linda niñita quedada así, sentada en la orilla del mar
y las manos llenas de perlas
el sol en tu frente y en la sonrisa
blanca orquidea, alma y paloma
y la alegría, tú cantas consuelo
tú cantas esperanza, tú cantas remedios
espera que un día yo pueda decirte
"te quiero pequeña, chiquita, preciosa,
hermosa, piccola, piccola, piccola, piccola, pico, pico, pico..."
El sol en tu frente y en la sonrisa
blanca orguidea, alma y paloma
y la alegría, tú cantas consuelo
tú cantas esperanza, tú cantas remedios
espera que un día yo pueda decirte
"te quiero, pequeña, chiquita, preciosa
hermos, piccola, piccola, piccola
piccola, pico, pico, pico..."
Tu historia, una vez, nos la contó
dios, tu hermanito con su guitarra
tú estabas dormida baja la luna
tú estabas feliz, pequeña Remedios
espera que un día yo pueda decirte
"te quiero, pequeña, chiquita, preciosa
hermos, piccola, piccola, piccola
piccola, pico, pico, pico..."

Pour Quelques Centimes
Pour Quelques Centimes
((Adapted from: Nickel Song (Melanie Safka) - 1971))
Composer(s): Melanie Safka - Pierre Delanoë
Performer(s): Nana Mouskouri - 1971
On sait que je ne suis pas joueuse
Pourtant on joue sur mon nom
Pour quelques centimes
Je leur chante une chanson
Lalala...
Pour quelques centimes
Je leur chante une chanson
Oui, c'est comme une boîte à musique
Un piano mécanique oui
Si le jeu est illégal
Dans mon état d'esprit tant pis
J'aurais quelques centimes
Chaque fois qu'on me fait du mal
Je serais plus riche encore
Que tout ce qui fait si mal
Chacun veut le plus possible
En donnant le minimum
Oui chacun veut le plus possible
En donnant le minimum
Oui je ne sais pas beaucoup de choses
Mais je suis sûre de dire vrai
Nous donnons très peu de bon
Pour être débarrassé du mauvais
Nous aurions quelques centimes
Chaque fois qu'on nous fait du mal
Nous serions plus riche encore
Que tout ce qui fait si mal
Chacun veut le plus possible
En donnant le minimum
Oui, chacun veut le plus possible
En donnant le minimum
Lalala...
Pour quelques centimes
Je leur chante une chanson
Lalala...
Pour quelques centimes
Je leur chante une chanson

Cierta Historia De Amor
Cierta Historia De Amor
Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez
Yo era un muchacho tranquilo
Hasta que di con mi sueño más dorado
Que era una mujer algo mayor que yo
Ella tenía 35 y yo 18 para mi favor
(Favor dudoso)
Empezó por regalarme
Dos camisas y un vestido
Para que yo se los diera a mi mamá
A eso le siguió una lluvia de pequeños regalitos para mí
(Para mí entierro)
Hasta me froté las manos
Cuando supe que vivía sola
Desde que por fin se divorcio
Y en su casa hice meriendas, comidas y desayunos hasta engordar
(Casi reviento, como verán)
Lo tenía todo, y me puse ocioso
Me pasaba el día de la lectura al amor
¿Qué quiere mi dueño? ¿Qué quiere mi encanto?
Me decía con voz azucarada si me iba a mover
Mi amigos comentaban
Que yo si eran un bárbaro del diablo
Y la fama de conquistador nació
Las pepillas me buscaban, yo me pellizcaba el brazo para ver
(Si era soñando)
Aprendí, de un buen amigo
A pegarle a mi mujer
A llevar los pantalones, como es la tradición
Y ella iba a mi trabajo, para sorprenderme en algo ilegal
(Era normal)
Me di cuenta que las cosas
Ya no estaban es su sitio
Cuando me empezó a coser la ropa encima, al salir
Después vino la algazara, las denuncias y los llantos al dormir
(Y pasó el tiempo)
Decidí dejarla cuando una noche
Desperté y la vi que se lanzaba sobre mí
Con unas tijeras de podar sus matas
Mientras me juraba que no iba a ver a otra mujer jamás
Me puse las botas y salí corriendo
Entre amenazas que no puedo repetir
Me puse las botas y salí corriendo
Sin sueños dorados, pero a salvo el honor

Rembrandt
Rembrandt
Performer(s): The Amazing Stroopwafels
Als nou bij Rembrandt, thuis in Leiden
Een home computer had gestaan
Hij kon al dat ploeteren vermijden
Hij deed gewoon het knopje aan
Zelf riep hij even uit de keuken
"Hee Hendrikje zet jij de zaak op print
Ik wil wel iets met licht en donker
Kijken wat m'n moeder daarvan vindt"
refrein:
Terwijl hij onderuitgezakt de krant las
Kreeg hij opeens een lumineus idee
"Hee Stoffels, mijn pantoffels die ik kwijt was
Die staan natuurlijk achter de TV"
Als nou bij Rembrandt, thuis in Leiden
De omroep belt: zeg kom eens mee
Dan kon hij praten in een panel
Over kunst en sport en WVC
Het stond onder leiding van Rien Poortvliet
En hoeveel was zijn uitkoopsom
En of hij zich wat vlot kon kleden
Want zo'n baretje staat zo dom
refrein
Als dan bij Rembrandt, thuis in Leiden
's Avonds de buis wordt aangezet
Ziet hij zich van de glijbaan glijden
Zo in een modderbad ballet
Ach, Rembrandt staat wat punten achter
Frans Hals; die wint de eerste prijs
Hij mag een wens doen
Hij roept smachtend
"Terug naar de Gouden Eeuw, een enkele reis!"
P.S.: hij woonde niet in Leiden
Hij was een keer verhuisd naar Amsterdam
Nee, Rembrandt was niet te benijden
Dat was toch jammer voor zo'n man

Composer(s): Melanie Safka
First release by: Melanie Safka - 1971
Well you know that I'm not a gambler
but I'm being gambled on
they put in a nickel and I sing a little song
da-da-da-da...
they put in a nickel and I sing a little song
Well, I don't mind that they're lucky
but it seems that they always win
and gamblin' is illegal in the state of mind i'm in
and if I had a nickel for each time that I've been put on
I would be their nickel man, and I'd sing a little song
they're only putting in a nickel and they want a dollar song
they're only putting in a little to get rid of a lot that's wrong
Well I don't know so many things
but I know what's been goin' on
We're only putting in a little
to get rid of a lot that's wrong
and if we had a nickel for each time that we've been put on
we'd all be their nickel man and we'd sing a nickel song
you know they're only putting in a nickel
and they win a dollar song
oh, yeah, they're only putting in a little, to get rid of a lot
that's wrong
oh, they're only putting in a nickel to win a dollar song

Cierro mis ojos
Para que tú no sientas
Ningún miedo
Cierro mis ojos
Para escuchar tu voz diciendo amor
Para que digas hoy de verdad
Lo mucho que me quieres
Para que creas para que pienses
Que ni te escucho yo
Cierro mis ojos
Para que tú me quieras libremente
Para que tú me mires y no tiembles
Y puedas darme tu amor
Tal como es
Cierro mis ojos
Para que beses mis manos
Y mi frente
Para que corran tus dedos por mi piel
Yo no te veré, yo no te veré
Puedes hacer lo que quieras conmigo
No te miraré, no te miraré
Hasta que tú me lo pidas, amor

The Next Time I'm In Town
Composer(s): Mark Knopfler
Performer(s): Chet Atkins & Mark Knopfler
Now it's been somethin' seein' you again
In this time we've had to spend
You've been so good to be around
I thank you for that special thrill
Keep me going on until
The next time I'm in town
Though I won't be back here for a while
Or hear your laughter, see you smile
And I'll remember what went down
I can't tell you how or when
But I'll be seeing you again
The next time I'm in town
Now the faces and the places range
'cross the bridge of time and change
Once again I'm homeward bound
There's one thing I promise you
And that's another rendezvous
The next time I'm in town
Now it's been something seeing you again
And in this time we've had to spend
You've been so good to be around
And I thank you for that special thrill
Keep me goin' on until
The next time I'm in town
'Til the next time I'm in town
'Til the next time I'm in town

The Next Time
The Next Time
Composer(s): Buddy Kaye - Philip Springer
Performer(s): Cliff Richard
They say I'll love again some day
a truer love will come my way, the next time
But after you, there'll never be a next time for me
They say that I'll find happiness
in someone else's warm caress, the next time
I'll soon forget your kiss and heartache such as this
will just be ancient history
They say that I'm a fool to weep
that I won't go on losing sleep, the next time
That someone else will mend the heart
you've broken in two
But, how can I fall in love, the next time
when I'm still so very much in love with you?
They say that I'm a fool to weep
that I won't go on losing sleep, the next time
That someone else will mend the heart
you've broken in two
But, how can I fall in love, the next time
when I'm still so very much in love with you?

Relight My Fire
Relight My Fire
Composer(s): Dan Hartman
Performer(s): Dan Hartman;
and various other artists
Help me escape this feeling of insecurity
I need you so much but I don't think you really need me
But if we all stand up in the name of love
And state the case of what we're dreamin' of
I've got to say I only dream of you
But like a thief in the night
You took away the love that I knew
Relight my fire
Your love is my only desire
Relight my fire
Cuz I need your love
Turn back the time till the days when our love was new, do you remember
No matter what was happenin I was there with you, aha
But if we all stand up for what we believe
And maybe live within our possibilities
The world would be wild for the dream
So baby don't turn away
Listen to what I gotta say
Relight my fire
Your love is my only desire
Relight my fire
Cuz I need your love
Relight my fire
Your love is my only desire
Relight my fire
Cuz I need your love
Yeah, you gotta be strong enough to walk on through the night (yeah)
There's a new day on the other side(yeah)
You gotta have hope in your soul
Just keep on walkin
Just keep on walkin
Strong enough to walk on through the night
There's a new day on the other side
Cos I got hope in my soul
And I'll keep walking baby
Keep on walking baby
(Repeat Chorus)
