This One's For You


This One's For You
Composer(s): Marty Panzer - Barry Manilow
Performer(s): Barry Manilow
This one I'll never sell, they'll never understand
I don't even sing it well, I try but I just can't
But I sing it every night and I fight to keep it in
Cause this one's for you, this one's for you
I've done a hundred songs from fantasies to lies
But this one's so real for me that I'm that one who cries
And I sing it every night and I fight to hide the tears
Cause this one's for you, this one's for you
This one's for you wherever you are
To say that nothings been the same since we've been apart
This one's for all the love we once knew
Like everything else I have, this one's for you
Oh-uh-oh
I've got it all, it seems, for all it means to me
But I sing of things I miss and things that used to be
And I wonder every night, if you might just miss me too
And I sing for you, I sing for you
This one's for you wherever I go
To say the things I should have said, things that you should know
This one's to say that all I can do
Is hope that you will hear me sing 'cause this one's for you
Oh-uh-oh
This one's for you wherever you are
To say that nothings been the same since we've been apart
Oh
This one's for all the love we once knew

Janitor Of Lunacy


Janitor Of Lunacy
Composer(s): Nico
Performer(s): Nico;
Lou Reed; Susanna
Janitor of lunacy
Paralyze my infancy
Petrify the empty cradle
Bring hope to them and me
Janitor of tyranny
Testify my vanity
Mortalize my memory
Deceive the Devil's deed
Tolerate my jealousy
Recognize the desperate need
Janitor of lunacy
Identify my destiny
Revive the living dream
Forgive their begging scream
Seal the giving of their seed
Disease the breathing grief

This Ole House


This Ole House
((Finnish Version: Seiska (Kipparikvartetti) - 1955))
Composer(s): Stuart Hamblen
First release by: Stuart Hamblen - 1954
Covered by multiple other artists
This ole house once knew my children
This ole house once knew my wife
This ole house was home and comfort
As we fought the storms of life
This ole house once rang with laughter
This ole house heard many shouts
Now she trembles in the darkness
When the lightnin' walks about
Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer
Ain't a-gonna need this house no more
Ain't got time to fix the shingles
Ain't got time to fix the floor
Ain't got time to oil the hinges
Nor to mend no window pane
Ain't gonna need this house no longer
I'm a-gettin' ready to meet the saints
This ole house is a-gettin' shaky
This ole house is a-gettin' old
This ole house lets in the rain
This ole house lets in the cold
On my knees I'm gettin' chilly
But I feel no fear or pain
'Cause I see an angel peekin'
Through a broken window pane
Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer
Ain't a-gonna need this house no more
Ain't got time to fix the shingles
Ain't got time to fix the floor
Ain't got time to oil the hinges
Nor to mend no window pane
Ain't gonna need this house no longer
I'm a-gettin' ready to meet the saints
Now this ole house is afraid of thunder
This ole house is afraid of storms
This ole house just groans and trembles
When the night wind flings its arms
This ole house is a-gettin' feeble
This ole house is a-needin' paint
Just like me it's tuckered out
But I'm a-gettin' ready to meet the saints
Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer
Ain't a-gonna need this house no more
Ain't got time to fix the shingles
Ain't got time to fix the floor
Ain't got time to oil the hinges
Nor to mend no window pane
Ain't gonna need this house no longer
I'm a-gettin' ready to meet the saints
And my old hound dog lies a sleepin'
He don't know I'm gonna leave
Else he'd wake up by the fire place
And he'd sit down, howl and grieve
But my huntin' days are over
Ain't gonna hunt the coon no more
Gabriel done brought in my chariot
When the wind blew down the door
Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer
Ain't a-gonna need this house no more
Ain't got time to fix the shingles
Ain't got time to fix the floor
Ain't got time to oil the hinges
Nor to mend no window pane
Ain't gonna need this house no longer
I'm a-gettin' ready to meet the saints
I'm ready to meet the saints

Crime Of Passion


Crime Of Passion
Composer(s): Mike Oldfield
Performer(s): Mike Oldfield; Bamble Bee
On a bright day she passed away in the morning
It's a cruel way to take her away with no warning
He took her hands through every midnight hour
And then saw her fading away like a spring shower
I can see a complete life's time
Pictures and posters of times and fashion
Nineteen years with no reason or rhyme
Taken away in a crime of passion
He stood to see if he could catch her breathing
But it was no good, he understood she was leaving
He looked outside the frosty window pane
And then he saw her moving away, Elizabeth Jane
I can see a complete life's time
Pictures and posters of times and fashion
Nineteen years with no reason or rhyme
Taken away in a crime of passion
I see freedom in sight, it's a long climb
But she would not give up the fight for a long time
And I see a light come shining in tonight
Baby, it's all right
We couldn't have changed it with second sight
I can see a complete life's time
Pictures and posters of times and fashion
Nineteen years with no reason or rhyme
Taken away in a crime of passion
I see freedom light shining in the night
I see freedom but she wouldn't give up the fight
I see a light go shining in tonight
Baby, it's all right
We couldn't have changed it with second sight

Composer(s): Mick Jones; Joe Strummer
Performer(s): The Clash; Dishrags;
Frantic Flintstones; Neurotic Outsiders
He's in love with rock'n'roll woaahh
He's in love with gettin' stoned woaahh
He's in love with Janie Jones
But he don't like his boring job, no...
An' he knows what he's got to do
So he knows he's gonna have fun with you
You lucky lady!
An' he knows when the evening comes
When his job is done he'll be over in his car for you
An' in the in-tray lots of work
But the boss at the firm always thinks he shirks
But he's just like everyone, he's got a Ford Cortina
That just won't run without fuel
Fill her up, Jacko!
An' the invoice it don't quite fit,
There's no payola in his alphabetical file
This time he's gonna really tell the boss
Gonna really let him know exactly how he feels
It's pretty bad!
Let them know - how you feel

This Old Heart of Mine (Is Weak for You)


This Old Heart of Mine (Is Weak for You)
Composer(s): Brian Holland - Lamont Dozier - Eddie Holland - Sylvia Moy
First release by: The Isley Brothers - 1966
Covered by multiple other artists
This old heart of mine been broke a thousand times
Each time you break away, feel you're gone to stay
Lonely nights that come, memories that go
bringing you back again, hurting me more and more
Maybe it's my mistake to show this love I feel inside
'cause each day that passes by
you got me never knowing if I'm coming or going
but I love you, yes I do
I love you; this old heart weeps for you
I try hard to hide my hurt inside
This old heart of mine always keeps me crying
The way you treat me leaves me incomplete
You're here for the day, gone for the week
But if I want you a hundred times
a hundred times I have you back
I'm yours whenever you want me
I wanna shout about it, tell the world about it
'cause I love you; this old heart weeps for you
I love you, yes, I do
Maybe it's my mistake to show this love I feel inside
'cause each day that passes by
you got me never knowing if I'm coming or going
but I love you, yes I do
This old heart weeps for you
I love you; this old heart weeps for you
I love you; yes I do
I love you; this old heart weeps for you

Crier Ton Nom
Composer(s): Salvatore Adamo
Performer(s): Salvatore Adamo
Je veux crier ton nom à toutes ces demoiselles
qui font des yeux si ronds
qu'on se pâmerait devant elles
Je veux crier ton nom, crier sans remords
que mon seul compagnon c'est mon amour si fort
Crier ton nom à tous ces veinards
qui suivent les boulevards en s'aimant tout en haut
Crier ton nom, te cherchant partout
Qu'on me prenne pour fou, je veux crier ton nom
Crier ton nom à tous ces veinards
qui suivent les boulevards en s'aimant tout en haut
Crier ton nom, te cherchant partout
Qu'on me prenne pour fou, je veux crier ton nom
Je veux crier ton nom

Performer(s): Ron Dante
Janie Janie
You made the sun shine bright
Janie Janie
You know how to love me right
Once I was empty inside
Couldn't be happy though I tried
Then I met you, you stole my heart
By making me happy right from the start
Oh Janie, My Janie
Janie Janie
You made the sun shine bright
Janie Janie
You know how to love me right
I look at this world through different eyes
You made my world a paradise
You took this dark dreary place
Made it bright with your face
Oh Janie, my Janie

You know how to love me right
You took this dark dreary place
Made it bright with your face

This Old Guitar


This Old Guitar
Composer(s): John Denver
First release by: John Denver - 1974
Covered by multiple other artists
This old guitar taught me to sing a love song
This old guitar gave me my lovely lady
This old guitar gave me my life my living
it showed me how to laugh and how to cry
it opened up her eyes and ears to me
all the things you know I love to do
It introduced me to some friends of mine
it brought us close together
to serenade the stars that shine
and brightened up some days
and I guess it broke her heart
from a sunny mountain-side
and helped me make it through some lonely nights
Oh it opened up the space for us to be
and most of all to sing my songs for you
What a friend to have on a cold and lonely night
What a lovely place and a lovely space to be
I love to sing my songs for you
Yes I do, you know and I love to sing my songs for you

Cried Like A Baby


Cried Like A Baby
Composer(s): Craig Doerge; Paul Williams
Performer(s): Bobby Sherman
Always had the best of everything
Anything money could buy
I go first class and I'll live like a king till I die
I surround myself with treasure
And devote each day to pleasure
Until late at night this king begins to cry
And I have cried like a baby in the darkness of my room
Nobody there to hold my trembling hand
And I cried like a baby in the darkness of my room
With nobody there to love or understand
In the comfort of my castle I have lived my life in style
Let the troubled world just up and pass me by
I surround myself with treasure and I fill each day with pleasure
Until late at night this king begins to cry
And I have cried like a baby in the darkness of my room
Nobody there to hold my trembling hand
And I cried like a baby in the darkness of my room
With nobody there to love or understand
In the hollow of an empire I've become a warrior king
Hunting golden deals and million dollar schemes
When our fate has been decided
And my soul's been sub-divided
I will cry alone for half forgotten dreams
And I have cried like a baby in the darkness of my room
Nobody there to hold my trembling hand
And I cried like a baby in the darkness of my room
With nobody there to love or understand
Cried like a baby in the darkness of my room
Nobody there to hold my trembling hand
And I cried like a baby in the darkness of my room
With nobody there to love or understand

Performer(s): The Commodores; Bobby Caldwell
Mmm...hmm...hmm...mmm...hmm...mmm...
Mmm...mmm...
Tearin’ me apart
Somehow I just joined in
She’s playing with my heart
But Janet’s so aware
And people tell me, “She keeps telling you lies”
I guess they wonder how I stand it, oh
But when I look in her eyes
I know it’s love the way I planned it
I believe in Janet
Janet, they don’t understand it
The whole thing must be wrong
I gave my heart to Janet
And she won’t lead me on
Janet
Oh, Janet
There could never be
Another girl like Janet
It’s only her and me
Together on this planet
And people tell me, “She keeps telling you lies”
I guess they wonder how I stand it, oh, yeah
But when I look in her eyes
I know it’s love the way I planned it
I believe in Janet
Janet, they don’t understand it
The whole thing must be wrong
I gave my heart to Janet
And she won’t lead me on
Janet
Oh, Janet
Why can’t they see
Without her there’d be
No reason to go on and on
As long as she stays with me
I’ll keep holdin’ on
I believe in Janet
I believe in Janet, they don’t understand it
The whole world must be wrong
I gave my heart to Janet
And she won’t lead me on
Janet, Ja-Janet, they don’t understand it
The whole world must be wrong
I gave my heart to Janet
And she won’t lead me on
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh
Janet, they don’t understand it
The whole thing must be wrong
I gave my heart to Janet
And she won’t lead me on
Janet, they don’t understand it
The whole thing must be wrong

Performer(s): The Marshall Tucker Band; Toy Caldwell; Randy Waller
Well I'm sittin down in San Antoine'
waitin' on the eight o'clock train
My woman left me here last night

and tie up a few loose ends
I'm gonna work a week

ahhh hit the road again
So I don't want you to think
that you the first one
to leave me out here on my own
'cause this ain't gonna be
the first time
this ol' cowboy
spent the night alone
Well Honey I've been a fool
but a bigger fool
I can't remember when I've been
Just to open up my heart
and let you walk right in
But there's one thing in life
that ain't hard for me to do
and thats as soon as I kiss
the lips of another women
I'm gonna forget all about you
So I don't want you to think
you the first one
to leave me out here on my own
'cause this ain't gonna be
the first time
this ol' cowboy
spent the night alone
Ah if you wrote all
the womens' names
that I've know'd
and let me pick one out
I don't believe there be one
in the whole bunch
Ah I'd give a hoot about
So I don't want you to think
that you the first one
to leave this ol' boy out
here on his own
No it ain't gonna be
the first time
this ol' cowboy
spent the night alone
No it ain't gonna be
the first time
this ol' cowboy

Composer(s): Miguel Mateos
Performer(s): Miguel Mateos
Todo lo que anda dando vueltas
tarde o temprano nos alcanza
hoy dejaré la puerta abierta
y lo encararé
Si fuimos criados por lobos
amamantados en su fe
quisiera encontrar el modo
para volverte a ver
Sueños, sueños
el viento se lleva los sueños
Deja, sólo deja...
hojas secas en el lugar
Dame refugio
dámelo ya
hoy que he perdido casi todo
y ya no se si estás
si cualquier modo
fuimos criados por lobos
Caminaré por Buenos Aires
con mi guitarra y mi gabán
mi detector de mentiras
en medio de la oscuridad
y cuando encuentre al que me dijo
que fuiste criada por lobos
le haré decir mil veces Piedad
y lo pondré a soñar...
Sueños, sueños
el viento se lleva los sueños
Deja, sólo deja...
hojas secas en el lugar
Dame refugio
dámelo ya
hoy que he perdido casi todo
y ya no se si estás
si cualquier modo
fuimos criados por lobos
y ya no se si estás
si cualquier modo
fuimos criados por lobos

This Offer Is Unrepeatable


This Offer Is Unrepeatable
Composer(s): Brodsky Quartet - Declan MacManus - Elvis Costello
Ian Belton - Jacqueline Thomas - Michael Thomas - Paul Cassidy
Performer(s): Elvis Costello; Michelle Murray
Don't Send Any Money!
Fate has no price
Ignore at your peril this splendid advice
An invaluable link in an infinite chain
An offer like this will just not come again
You wish you had women to charm and bewitch
Power of life and death over the rich young girls will be swooning
Because you're exciting them
And not only fall at your feet but be biting them
Guaranteed, guaranteed to capture your breath
Or just possibly scare you to death
Sign it and seal it and send it to friends
But don't mention my name
Don't make any long term plans
In thirty-six hours your fortunes will change
Your best friends won't know you
And neither will strangers
Do not keep this letter
It must leave your hand
You have been selected from over five thousand
A twister or dupe will bamboozle or hoodwink you
I can't say more it would only confuse you
The wine that they offer will go to your head
And you'll start to see double in fishes and bread
Guaranteed, guaranteed for a lifetime or more
Guaranteed, for this world and the next
Guaranteed, guaranteed for the world and its mother
Cherish this life as you don't get another one
Unless you should take up this fabulous offer
Don't leave it too late or you'll be bound to suffer
And woebetide anyone so woebegone
You won't know you're born or about to pass on
You'll never get tired
You'll never get bored
By the way I just hope you're insured
And if you're not satisfied
If you want more
We can always provide an improved overture
Guaranteed at a price that is almost unbeatable
This offer is unrepeatable
Your trouble will vanish
Your tears will dry
Your blessing will just multiply
Guaranteed at a price that is almost unbeatable
This offer is unrepeatable
Guaranteed, guaranteed to bring fortune and favor
In a riot of colours, (a variety of) and flavours
Guaranteed at a price that is almost unbeatable
This offer is unrepeatable
Would I lie to you? Would I sell you a dud?

Cri Du Coeur


Cri Du Coeur
Composer(s): Henri Crolla; Jacques Prévert
Performer(s): Edith Piaf
and multiple other artists
C'est pas seulement ma voix qui chante
C'est l'autre voix, une foule de voix
Voix d'aujourd'hui ou d'autrefois
Des voix marrantes, ensoleillées
Désespérées, émerveillées
Voix déchirantes et brisées
Voix souriantes et affolées
Folles de douleur et de gaieté
C'est la voix d'un chagrin tout neuf
La voix de l'amour mort ou vif
La voix d'un pauvre fugitif
La voix d'un noyé qui fait plouf
C'est la voix d'une enfant qu'on giffle
C'est la voix d'un oiseau craintif
La voix d'un moineau mort de froid
Sur le pavé d' la rue d' la joie...
Et toujours, toujours quand je chante
Cet oiseau-là chante avec moi
Toujours, toujours, encore vivante
Sa pauvre voix tremble pour moi
Si je disais tout ce qu'il chante
Tout c'que j'ai vu et tout c'que j'sais
J'en dirais trop et pas assez
Et tout ça je veux l'oublier
D'autres voix chantent un vieux refrain
C'est leur souvenir, c'est plus le mien
Je n'ai plus qu'un seul cri du coeur :
"j'aime pas l'malheur! j'aime pas l'malheur!"
Et le malheur me le rend bien
Mais je l' connais, il m' fait plus peur
Il dit qu'on est mariés ensemble
Même si c'est vrai, je n'en crois rien
Sans pitié j'écrase mes larmes
Je leur fais pas d'publicité
Si on tirait l'signal d'alarme
Pour des chagrins particuliers
Jamais les trains n'pourraient rouler
Et je regarde le paysage
Si par hasard il est trop laid
J'attends qu'il se refasse une beauté
Et les douaniers du désespoir
Peuvent bien éventrer mes bagages
Me palper et me questionner
J'ai jamais rien à déclarer
L'amour comme moi part en voyage
Un jour je le rencontrerai
A peine j'aurai vu son visage
Tout de suite je le reconnaîtrai...

Kisses so divine
I thank the Lord up above
For making Jamie all mine
I'm so glad to belong to her
And she's mine all mine
