The Stars Didn't Show
The Stars Didn't Show
Composer(s): Eric Stewart - Graham Gouldman
Performer(s): 10 cc
We came from miles around
Just to listen to your sound
You made the night seem endless
You cast a magic spell
You played the part so well
Your music blew away the darkness
We loved you for better
We loved you for worse
But we never took you for granted
Your lives were a blessing
But they carried a curse
The night that the stars didn't show
You made me stand so proud
I was lifted from the crowd
The fire inside me burning
The figure dressed in black
Sending shivers down my back
Deep inside my soul was stirring
We loved you for better
We loved you for worse
The sweet inspiration that you gave us
And I can remember we didn't rehearse
The night that the stars didn't show
Mountains may crumble
And worlds fall apart
Lovers and friends may desert me
The road may be long
But I know in my heart
Your spirit will always be with me
The thrill to be up there
A sea of faces everywhere
I look I find you
We loved you for better
We loved you for worse
But we never took you for granted
Your lives were a blessing
But they carried a curse
The night that the stars didn't show
We loved you for better
We loved you for worse
The sweet inspiration that you gave us
And I can remember we didn't rehearse
The night that the stars didn't show

Come Again? Toucan
Come Again? Toucan
Composer(s): David Freiberg; Grace Slick
Performer(s): Grace Slick
Mistakes are made because words are misunderstood
It's all, all in how you talk
Waking over somebody, sounds like a strange thing to do
but it's all, all in how you are (walk)
Seems like it might be the right thing to say at the time
and I (how d'you) know I probably say it again
gimme just a little taste, gimme just a little taste more
and I'll be flying out, fliyng out the wise and old, old is the whole world
and I'd just turn around like a baby and I'd crawl, crawl right back inside...

and I know, know I'll do it again and I'll say it again
gimme just a little, gimme just a little taste more
and I'll be flying, fliyng out the wise and old, old is the whole world

Right Back Where We Started From
Right Back Where We Started From
Composer(s): Vincent Edwards; Pierre Tubbs
Performer(s): Maxine Nightingale;
and various other artists
Ooh, and...
It's alright an it's coming on
We gotta get right back to where we started from
Love is good, love can be strong
We gotta get right back to where we started from
Do you remember the day - (that sunny day) - when you first came my way
I said no-one can take your place
And if you get hurt - (if you get hurt) - by the little things I say
I can put that smile back on your face
Ooh, and
It's alright and it's coming on, ....
A love like ours - (a love like ours) - can never fade away
You know it's only just begun
You give me your love - (give me your love) - I just can't stay away, no
I know you are the only one
Ooh, and
It's alright and it's coming on, ....
You give me your love - (give me your love)
You know I just can't stay away, no
I know you are my only one
Ooh, you know
It's alright and it's coming on, ....
It's alright and it's coming on, ....
It's alright and it's coming on, ....

The Star Still Shines
The Star Still Shines
Performer(s): Sonny James
If dark clouds cover your Christmas sky
If the world around you should seem unkind
Don't for a single moment let your strong faith die
Always believe the Star still shines
And if you would weaken and turn aside
From the path that seems much too high to climb
Recall a tiny baby with more love than pride
Always believe the Star still shines
The Star still shines, which will lead us home
The angels sing, you're never, never alone
And when children hunger out in the cold
With their tiny hands seeking love to find
And when fools only worship altars of gold
Always believe the Star still shines
Always believe the Star still shines

Come Again
Come Again
Composer(s): David Gates
Originally performed by: Bread
Hear - the knock at the door and you know who is there
you tell yourself you don't care
Try - you try to pretend you'll just send him away
you know it won't end that way
Your heart doesn't stand a chance, your eyes let him know
And your pride doesn't means a thing - you lost it for him years ago
Hear - the voice at the door and it makes you afraid
afraid but you don't know how
Try - you try to remind him the promise he made
he doesn't remember now
The tears welling up inside, are drowning your dreams
And your chance for another chance, keep leaving with him so it seems
Time - the friend that would bring him around
Is turning on you and it's bringing you down
Love - you tell him you love him and want him to change
he says that he'll really try
Hear - how often you hear as he's closing the door
And softly you say goodbye...
Come again
Come again

Rifugiati Nel Pianto
Rifugiati Nel Pianto
French Title: Rentre Chez Toi Et Pleure
Composer(s): Charles Aznavour; Gilbert Bécaud
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
Se ho ferito in te il tuo vivere per me
Vieni qui, rifugiati nel pianto
Stai vicino a me e perdonami anche se
Non dovrei più domandarlo a te
Non temere mai se l'istinto seguirai
Vieni qui, rifugiato nel pianto
Scora se lo puoi quel che è stato tra di noi
E con me felice tornerai
Viueni, vieni, e riporta in me
Il sospiro della vita
Vieni, vieni non dire più
Che fra noi è finita
Non mi dare mai un addio
Che tu mnon vuoi
Vieni qui, rifugiati nel pianto
E ricorda che se tu andassi via da me
Sarei io a piangere per te

Star Of The County Down
Star Of The County Down
((Adapted from: Gilderoy (Traditional))
Traditional (Ireland)
Performer(s): Van Morrison & The Chieftains - 1988
and multiple other artists
Near Banbridge town in the County Down
One morning last July
Down a boreen green came a sweet colleen
And she smiled as she passed me by
She looked so sweet from her two bare feet
To the sheen of her nut brown hair
Such a coaxing elf, sure I shook myself
For to see I was really there
From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay
And from Galway to Dublin town
No maid I've seen like the brown colleen
That I met in the County Down!
She'd a soft brown eye and a look so sly
And a smile like the rose in June
And you hung on each note from her lily-white throat
As she lilted an Irish tune
At the pattern dance you were held in a trance
As she tripped thru a reel or a jig
And when her eyes she'd roll, she'd coax, on my soul
A spud from a hungry pig!
From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay
And from Galway to Dublin town
No maid I've seen like the brown colleen
That I met in the County Down!
I've travelled a bit, but never was hit
Since my roving career began
But, fair and square, I surrendered there
To the charms of young Rosie McAnn!
With a heart to let, and no tenant yet
Did I meet in shawl or gown
But in she went, and I asked no rent
From the Star of the County Down!
From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay
And from Galway to Dublin town
No maid I've seen like the brown colleen
That I met in the County Down!
As she onward sped sure I scratched my head
And I looked with a feeling rare
And I says, says I, to a passer by
"Who's the maid with the nut brown hair?"
He smiled at me and he said, said he
"That's the gem of Ireland's crown
Young Rosie McCann from the banks of the Ban
She's the star of the County Down"
From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay
And from Galway to Dublin town
No maid I've seen like the brown colleen
That I met in the County Down!
At the harvest fair she'll be surely there
So I'll dress in my Sunday clothes
With my shoes shone bright and my hat cocked right
For a smile from my nut brown Rose
No pipe I'll smoke, no horse I'll yoke
Till my plough is a rust coloured brown
Till a smiling bride by my own fireside
Sits the star of the County Down
From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay
And from Galway to Dublin town
No maid I've seen like the brown colleen
That I met in the County Down!

Come A Little Bit Closer
Come A Little Bit Closer
French Title: C’est Toi Que Je Préfère
Composer(s): Tommy Boyce; Bobby Hart; Wes Farrell
Originally performed by: Jay & The Americans
Covered by various other artists
In a little café just the other side of the border
She was just sitting there giving me looks that made my mouth water
So I started walking her way
She belonged to bad man, José
And I knew, yes I knew I should leave
When I heard her say, yeah
Come a little bit closer
You're my kind of man
So big and so strong
Come a little bit closer
I'm all-alone
And the night is so long
So we started to dance
In my arms, she felt so inviting
That I just couldn't resist
Just one little kiss so exciting
Then I heard the guitar player say
"Vamoose, Jose's on his way"
Then I knew, yes I knew I should run
But then I heard her say, yeah
Come a little bit closer
You're my kind of man
So big and so strong
Come a little bit closer I'm all alone
And the night is so long
Then the music stopped
When I looked the café was empty
Then I heard José say
"Man you know you're in trouble plenty"
So I dropped my drink from my hand
And through the window I ran
And as I rode away
I could hear her say to José, yeah
Come a little bit closer
You're my kind of man
So big and so strong
Come a little bit closer
I'm all alone
And the night is so long
La la-la-la la-la
La la-la-la la-la
Ho ho la-la

Composer(s): Serge Gainsbourg
Performer(s): Serge Gainsbourg
Incurable!
Vous êtes au courant?
Oh, son histoire de photos
Il est fou
Je trouve ça complètement idiot
Elle est quand même pas mal, non?
Pas mal...
Vous êtes amoureuse de lui?
Mais qu'est-ce qui vous prend?
Mais ça va pas, non?
Rien rien je disais ça comme ça
Faut pas vous fâcher
Simplement travailler avec un type toute la journée
ça peut donner des idées, c'est normal
Moi je suis anormale, si c'est ça que vous voulez dire
Pas commode hein?
Je vous trouve marrante
Vous êtes sûrement une affaire, mais vous n'devez pas le savoir
Quelle prétention!
Oh vous n'm'avez pas compris
Je n'cherchais pas à me placer
Vous avez c'qu'il vous faut?
Exact!
Elle est jolie?
Elles sont très jolies
Ah la la, quel salaud!
Allez, salut poupée!

Star Of Donegal
Star Of Donegal
(Traditional)
Performer(s): The New Barleycorn
One evening fair to take the air alone I chanced to stray
Down by a limpid silv'ry stream that flows beside the way
I heard two lovers talking by an ancient ruined hall
And the fair one's name was Mary Jane, the Star of Donegal
My lovely maid, the youth he said, I'm going across the foam
Unto the land of stars and stripes where peace and plenty flows
I want your faithful promise that you'll wed with none at all
Until I do return to you and the lands of Donegal
She blushed and sighed and then replied, it grieves my heart full sore
To think you are compelled to go and leave the Shamrock shore
Here is my faithful promise that I'll wed with none at all
But stay at home and do not roam from the lands of Donegal
My sweet fair maid, the youth then said, at home I cannot stay
To California's gold fields I'm bound to cross the sea
To accumulate a fortune great, to build a splendid hall
To decorate and cultivate the lands of Donegal
She raised her lily-white hands and said Yon castle in its day
With all its plains and large demesnes from Lifford to the sea
Belonged to our ancestors with many a splendid hall
And if my father had his rights, I'd be heir of Donegal
My darling maid, the youth then said, the day is drawing near
When Irishmen will return again from all their long career
Our holy land by God's command the fairest land of all
And Heaven will see old Ireland free, Bright Star of Donegal
She blushed and sighed and then replied, Heaven grant that we may see
St. Patrick's isle of Saints to shine great glorious and free
If that be so there's none will go to New York or Montreal
But will stay at home and will not roam from the lands of Donegal
He clasped her in his arms and said, My darling well you know
I love you very dearly and loth I am to go
Let us get wed without fear or dread, that puts an end to all
And then I will have my darling girl, the Star of Donegal
She gave consent and off they went to meet with Father Hugh
Who joined their hands in wedlock bands without any more ado
From Derry quay they sailed away and bade farewell to all
And now they're in America far away from Donegal

The Star
The Star
Performer(s): Marie Bottrell
In a brokendown bar
Where she's billed as the star
She sits and she waits to go on
And she looks in the mirror
At the lines on her face
And wonders where the time has all gone
And her mind floats away, back to the day
When she dreamed of the big silver screen
But there were too many bad breaks
And too many heartaches
With too many years in between
Now she's billed as the star
In this brokendown bar
And sometimes it hurts her so
But when they all stand
And give her a hand
It's just like it was long ago
And her mind floats away, back to the day
When she dreamed of the big silver screen
But there were too many bad breaks
And too many heartaches
With too many years in between
But there were too many bad breaks
And too many heartaches
With too many years in between

Combien De Temps Pour T'oublier
Combien De Temps Pour T'oublier
Adapted from: I Can't Help But Wonder - 1964
Composer(s): Jean-Michel Rivat; Tom Paxton
Performer(s): Joe Dassin - 1966
Tu ne peux plus rien pour moi
Seulement t'éloigner de moi
T'écarter un peu de mon soleil
Tu as mis devant mes yeux
Tant de petites fleurs bleues
Je n'avais jamais rien vu de pareil
Mais combien faut-il de temps
Pour t'oublier, t'oublier
Combien de temps pour t'oublier
C'est bien là, tout mon malheur
Tu étais la seule fille
Que jamais je n'aurais dû croiser
Je t'avais donné mon cœur
Tu voulais déjà ma vie
Un instant j'ai cru ne plus te quitter
Mais combien faut-il de temps
Pour t'oublier, t'oublier
Combien de temps pour t'oublier
Et si nos amours, ma belle
M'ont un peu brûlé des ailes
Je n'en ai pas l'ombre de regret
Pense à moi, je te salue
Je n'avais jamais connu, ni tenu
Ni vu l'amour de si près
Mais combien faut-il de temps
Pour t'oublier, t'oublier
Combien de temps pour t'oublier

Rien Qu'un Homme De Plus
(Italian Version: Sei Solo Un Uomo In Più)
Composer(s): Amerigo Casella; Alberto Cheli; Murio Luberti
Performer(s): Dalida
Non je n'en mourrais pas si tu gardais pour toi
Ce soir et pour toujours
Ses promesses de nuit confiées au coin du lit
Qui meurent avant le jour
Oh non je n 'en mourrais pas
Non puisque tu n'es pour moi
Rien qu'un homme de plus
Rien qu'un homme de plus
Rien qu'un homme de plus
Ne me demande pas ni comment ni pourquoi
La vie m'a transformé
Si j'aime le bonheur sans fausse pudeur
C'est de l 'avoir pleuré
Les images blanches d'une femme
Qui vit une écharde dans l'âme
Avec un mari qui l'a hait depuis longtemps
Les images tristes d'un homme
Qui cherche une femme fidèle
Pour rassurer son orgueil d'homme et dire je suis un homme
Me font crier sans regret
Que pour moi tu n'es
Rien qu'un homme de plus
Rien qu'un homme de plus
Rien qu'un homme de plus
Rien qu'un homme de plus
Rien qu'un homme de plus
Rien qu'un homme de plus...

Composer(s): David Denny

Burnin' burnin' all you can take
Wheels are turning in the bed you make
I'll take you over, you're tied at the stake
Nobody loves you like the way I do
Light rain's over
The sun's all around
Four leaf clover
As I pull you down
I'll take you over
You're tied at the stake
Nobody loves you like the way I do
Nobody loves you like the way I do
Nobody loves you like the way I do
