Just To Be With You


Just To Be With You
Composer(s): Marvin Kalfin
Performer(s): The Passions



Just to be with you (ooh, ooh, ooh)
Just to be with you (ooh, ooh, ooh ooh)

There is nothing I wouldn't do
Just to be with you (ooh, ooh, ooh)
I'd climb mountains or sail the seas
I'd crawl a thousand miles upon my knees
I'd find a rainbow and take it from the sky
I'll be a slave till the day I die (die)

Just to be with you (ooh, ooh, ooh)
Just to be with you (ooh, ooh, ooh ooh)

There is nothing I wouldn't do
Just to be with you (ooh, ooh, ooh)
I'll build a castle like those of old
And I would sell it for wealths of gold
I'll fight a lion, compose a symphony
I'll count the stars in the galaxy (eeee)

Just to be with you (ooh, ooh, ooh)
Just to be with you (ooh, ooh, ooh)

There isn't anything I wouldn't do
Just to be with you (bomm)

Havens En Stations


Havens En Stations
((Adapted from: Trains And Boats And Planes (Burt Bacharach And His Orch. & Chorus) - 1965))
((French Version: Quand Un Bateau Passe (Claude François) - 1965))
Composer(s): Burt Bacharach - Hal David - Erik Van Neygen
Performer(s): Erik Van Neygen - 1984



Havens en stations brachten me haast de wereld rond
Toch, er was daar niets wat me erg trok
Tenzij mijn wens om weer dicht bij jou te zijn
Zo vlug als ’k kon, bij jou te zijn
Liefde was een spel voor jou en mij
Te veel verwend en zonder besef
Van plaats of tijd,hoe goed het was
Om steeds dicht bij jou te zijn
Zo veel als ’k kon, bij jou te zijn

Hoe voel jij je nu daarginds heel alleen
Voel je je beter dan toen
Voel je je beter dan toen bij mij
Ben je op zoek ja, vergeefs op zoek
Want ik wacht hier, en waar ben jij

havens en stations brachten me haast de wereld rond
maar telkens als ik dan aan je denk
weerklinkt mijn wens om weer dicht bij jou te zijn
Zo vlug als ’k kan, bij jou te zijn

I Miss My Darling
Composer(s): Benny Davis; Abner Silver
Performer(s): Billy Cotton & His Band



I miss my darling
I miss my darling tonight, tonight
Oh where is my darling
Where is my darling tonight

(Alan)
She went away, it was harvest time
We kissed goodbye where the roses twine
She knows I’m hers, and I know she’s mine
Faithful forever I’ll be

I miss my darling
I miss my darling tonight, tonight
Oh where is my darling
Where is my darling tonight

(Doreen)
Flowers were blooming, ‘twas early spring
From every tree we heard robins sing
I heard the bells in the belfry ring
Telling my heart he’ll return

(Doreen & Chorus)
I miss my darling
I miss my darling tonight, tonight
Oh where is my darling
Where is my darling tonight

(Alan)
From every hilltop and shady glen
I hear her calling me now and then
I know that I’ll never love again
Until she’s back in my arms

(All)
I miss my darling
I miss my darling tonight, tonight
Oh where is my darling
I miss my darling tonight
Miss my darling
I miss my darling tonight

With no one to love and no one to love me for, for me

To find in this world a dream come true

Trains


Trains
Performer(s): Reginald Gardiner



I have a theory about railway engines being bad tempered
Well, when I say bad tempered, that's putting it mildly!
They're actually livid, furious beasts and they loathe humanity
So different from a ship, which is a sad, proud, graceful creature

You know, I can never understand why an engine driver isn't afraid of the monster he's in charge of, but he isn't!
And when the train's about to leave, he pulls down a lever and this livid beast is unleashed
Like this: Huhhh... huh... huh... huh... huhhh... huh... huh... huh... huh... huh... huh... and so forth, on it's journey

Well, now we've unleashed this livid beast, we find it's still equally furious
and it has this colossal argument with the rails it's running on
Like this: Biddlah-da, giddlah-da, diddley-dee, diddley-dah, diddley-dee, giddley-dah, giddley-duh... and that goes on the entire journey
And, not only does it have a colossal argument with the rails it's running on, but also all the other rails when they dare to cross it's own
Like this: Biddlah-duh, giddlah-duh, diddley-dee, diddley-dah, biddley-diddley-biddley-dee... and so on

Well, then we get out into the country and we come to a little rustic bridge spanning the railway
It's quite inoffensive, this dear little bridge, but the engine can't bear anything within it's reach at all
so it shouts at the little bridge as it goes underneath
Like this: Biddlah-dah, giddlah-dah, diddley-dee, diddley-dah, diddley-dee
Haahhh, buddlah-dah, biddlah-dee, guddlah-dah

Incidently, talking about this argument with the rails, this diddlah-duh business
I'm not a much travelled man, but I'm told this goes on all over the world, on all the different railways
For instance, in France exactly the same thing takes place, only the language is different, you know
Suddley-da, suddley na, suddley-da, suck-it-yourself, suddley-da, suddlah-dah... it's all much the same thing!

Speaking of France
The first time I ever went there, I arrived at Calais and very close to the quayside I came across my first glimpse of a French engine
I was vastly impressed, because it seemed to be four times as big and eight times as livid as any engine I'd ever seen before!
To begin with, it had eight of everything, cow catchers and bells and everything but the kitchen stove hanging all over it
Added to which, it had a very bad tempered word written across the front
It just said 'Nord', which I know is horrid to start with!
And it was a great pleasure to find I was allowed to do something in France that I'm not allowed to do in my own country
Namely that I could walk across the line to get to the platform on the other side, instead of going over by that maddening bridge!

So I picked up my little bag and walked in front of this monster, cowering away from it
And suddenly to my amazement, it let out an extraordinarily efffeminate voice
It seemed to me to be so enormously masculine and yet, as it started on it's journey for Paris, all it managed to summon up was: 'Fah'
Of course, I may be wrong about that, but it really does seem to me to be a little peculiar

Proceeding on our journey we find, from time to time, that we tear through certain wayside stations where no train has ever deigned to stop
People have been standing, waiting on these stations for centuries, but the engine ignores them, shouting as it rushes past
Like this: Diddley-dah, diddley-dah, raahh, romm, waahh, diddley-da, diddley-da, diddley-da, diddley-da

Then, of course, in time we get to a manufacturing town
Now when you get to these big towns, if you look out of the window, you'll notice some things called sidings
on which a quite inexplicable thing called shunting takes place
This, of course, is just an excuse on the part of the railway company to provide homes for old engines!
You see, there comes a time with an engine when it ceases to be virile and hearty and it just becomes long funnelled and tiresome
So it's put on one of these sidings and given a lot of trucks to play with
And, if you happen to have a bedroom anywhere near a siding
you'll find that you're woken up very early in the morning by trucks taking umbridge
And it goes like this: Huh... huh... huh... p-dink-dink, p-dank-donk, p-donk-dank, p-tink-donk-donk-donk-donk... to the far end
And, of course, there's another old gentleman at the other end who decides to do the same thing and biffs them all back again
And in this way, the railway company is carried on

Now there's one thing I must know before I die, and that's something that takes place in the tunnel outside Snowhill Station, Birmingham
You dash into the tunnel very fast and the brakes go on and you look out of the window
and all down the tunnel at intervals are a lot of flare lights
And in between these flare lights are men, standing!
They're leaning on shovels and pick-axes and golf clubs, or anything they can get hold of
And these men, they live there... definitely!
And as you go slowly through the tunnel, an extraordinary noise starts at the far end and slowly crashes past the window
I've no idea what it is, but it goes something like this: Brom-brom-brom-brom, durrum-durrum-durrum, aling-aling-aling-aling-aling
I think it's a piece of tin which has been nailed to the side of the tunnel with some number on it
or something that doesn't seem to mean anything to anybody
And it's too big! And it strikes the side of the train as it goes through
And, presumably, the men are merely there to bend the tin back, ready for the next train to hit it as it goes through the tunnel

Now, lastly, I'm going to tell you the one thing that an engine loathes more than anything else
And that is another engine coming in the opposite direction
That it cannot bear!
And by this time, you'll have settled down having got quite used to the diddley-dum, diddley-dum nonsense and all other maddening noises
when suddenly, to your horror, this new thing bursts upon you and nearly knocks you on the carriage floor
It's the most frightening thing in the world and it goes something like this
Biddley-da, diddley-dum, diddley-dum, shaahhhhh, huddley-da, huddley-da, huddley-da!

Well folks, that's all... back to the asylum! Good night

(Traditional)
Performer(s): The Maddox Brothers & Rose

I met a gal from Old Kentucky
She was happy and go-lucky
Sally let your bangs hang down

She called me honey-bunny
Just to make me spend my money
Sally let your bangs hang down

Well Sally she could land 'em
She'd love them and she'd leave them
Sally let your bangs hang down

Makes a man think she's so hot
Sally let your bangs hang down

He saw Sally changin' clothes
She was in a perfect pose
Sally let your bangs hang down

She caught me a-peepin' in
I don't think it was a sin
Sally let your bangs hang down

Sally she can land 'em
She loves 'em and she leaves 'em
Sally let your bangs hang down

I'll find out what Sally's got
Makes a man think she's so hot
Sally let your bangs hang down

Now I'll haveta be confessin'
Sally always kept me guessin'
Sally let your bangs hang down

She jumped up on a pony
And she rode away with Tony
Sally let your bangs hang down

Yeah Sally she can land 'em
She loves 'em and she leaves 'em
Sally let your bangs hang down

Just The Way You Are


Just The Way You Are
Composer(s): Billy Joel
Performer(s): Barry White



Don't go changing, to try and please me
You never let me down before
Don't imagine you're too familiar
And I don't see you anymore
I wouldn't leave you in times of trouble
We never could have come this far
I took the good times, I'll take the bad times
I'll take you just the way you are

Don't go trying some new fashion
Don't change the color of your hair
You always have my unspoken passion
Although I might not seem to care

I don't want clever conversation
I never want to work that hard
I just want someone that I can talk to
I want you just the way you are

I need to know that you will always be
The same old someone that I knew
What will it take till you believe in me
The way that I believe in you

I said I love you and that's forever
And this I promise from the heart
I could not love you any better
I love you just the way you are

Train Round The Bend


Train Round The Bend
Composer(s): Lou Reed
First release: The Velvet Underground - 1970
Covered by multiple other artists



Train round the bend
Takin' me away from the country
I'm sick of the trees
Take me to the city
Train goin' round the bend
Train comin' round the bend

Been in the country much too long
Trying to be a farmer
But nothing that I planted ever seemed to grow
Train comin' round the bend
Train comin' round the bend

Hey, I am just a city boy
I'm really not the country kind
I miss the city streets and the neon lights
See the train comin' round the bend
The train comin' round the bend

Once, she's goin' twice
She's gonna do it all up and down
She's goin' once, she's goin' twice
She's goin', train's comin' round the bend
You know the train's comin' round the bend

Hey, up and down, out of nowhere
Taking me back where I belong
I've been here once and I don't dig it tonight
The train's coming round the bend
The train's coming round the bend

Oooh Allright!

I Might Have Been Queen


I Might Have Been Queen
Composer(s): Rupert Hine; Jamie West-Oram
Performer(s): Tina Turner



I’m a new pair of eyes everytime I am born
An original mind because I just died
And I’m scanning the horizon
For someone recognizing that I might have been queen
For every sun that sets there is a new one dawning
For every empire crushed there is a brand new nation
Let the waters rise, I have ridden each tide
From the gates of the city where the first born died

And I might have been queen
I remember the girl in the fields with no name
She had a love
But the rivers won’t stop for me
No, the rivers won’t stop to me

I’m a new pair of eyes, an original mind
With my senses of old and the heart of a giant
And I’m searching through the wreckage
For some recollection that I might have been queen
For every sage that falls there’s an ancient child

And I might have been queen
I remember the girl in the fields with no name
She had a love
But the rivers won’t stop for me
No, the rivers won’t stop to me

I look up to the stars with my perfect memory
I look through it all and my future is no shock to me
I look down but I see no tragedy
I look up to the stars till I find my destiny
I look up to my past, a spirit running free
I look down, I look down and I’m there in history
I’m a soul survivor

A soul survivor
On the river
But it won’t stop

Just The Two Of Us
Composer(s): Ralph MacDonald;
William Salter; Bill Withers
Performer(s): Grover Washington Jr.;
and various other artists



I see the crystal raindrops fall
And the beauty of it all
when the sun comes shining through
To make those rainbows in my mind
When I think of you some time
And I want to spend some time with you

Chorus:
Just the two of us
We can make it if we try
Just the two of us
Just the two of us
Building castles in the sky
Just the two of us
You and I
We look for love, no time for tears
Wasted waters's all that is
And it don't make no flowers grow
Good things might come to those who wait
Not to those who wait to late
We got to go for all we know

Chorus

I hear the crystal raindrops fall
On the window down the hall
And it becomes the morning dew
Darling, when the morning comes
And I see the morning sun
I want to be the one with you

Just the two of us
We can make it if we try
Just the two of us
Just the two of us
Building big castles way on high
Just the two of us
You and I

Just the two of us
Let's get together, baby
Just the two of us
We can make it
Just the two of us
We can make it
Just the two of us
Just the two of us we can make it

I Might, (Ooooooooooooh)
I might just fall in love with you tonight
If your kiss lingers still
And my lips think it will
Then I just might

I could
I could surrender in your arms tonight
Just hold me close once more
And kiss me like before and I just might

Lately I found my resistance is down
Every time that I look in your eyes
My head starts to spin, I try not to give in
But if you catch my heart by surprise

I might, (Ooooooooooooh)
I might give up my heart without a fight
I never thought I would
But now I think I could
And I just might

Wooh, wooh

What can I do with a girl sweet as you
Can't kiss all my defenses away
Tonight you may find that you've made up my mind
'Cause it's getting much harder to say

I might, (Ooooooooooooh)
I might give up my heart without a fight
I never thought I would
But now I think I could
And I just might

Just hold me tight once more
And kiss me like before and I just might

I might just fall in love with you tonight
I never thought I would

Rose Of England


Rose Of England
Composer(s): Ivor Novello; Christopher Hassall
Performer(s): Vera Lynn



Grown in one land alone
Where proud winds have blown
There’s not a flower born of the shower
Braver than England’s own
Though gales of winter blow
Piercing hail and snow
Shining she stays bright as in days of yore
Old England’s pride still blossoms
Fresh on England’s shore

Rose of England thou shall fade not here
Proud and bright from growing year to year
Red shall thy petals be as rich wine untold
Shared by thy warriors who served thee of old
Rose of England breathing England’s air
Flower of chivalry beyond compare
While hand and heart endure to cherish thy prime
Thou shall blossom to the end of time

Rose of England breathing England’s air
Flower of liberty beyond compare
While hand and heart endure to cherish thy prime
Thou shall blossom to the end of time

Just The Same


Just The Same
Composer(s): Kerry Minnear; Derek Shulman
Performer(s): Gentle Giant; Jordan Rudess



See me, what I am, what I was, what I'll be
Hear me, understand that I'm not what you see
Take this, take the man, middle term, common me
Don't you see that I'm just doing what I want to do
Nothing more and nothing less than you
Read no thoughts I didn't think myself
Just the same as anybody else

Make me someone else, put me up on a stand
Something that I don't really want on my hands
Use me, idolise all you can understand
Don't you see that I'm just doing what I want to do
Nothing more and nothing less than you
Read no thoughts I didn't think myself
Just the same as anybody else

Change it, what you think, what you thought, what you say
Look for something more than you sought yesterday
I don't want to be part of your life today
Don't you see that I'm just doing what I want to do
Nothing more and nothing less than you
Read no thoughts I didn't think myself
Just the same as anybody else

Train In Vain


Train In Vain
Composer(s): Mick Jones - Joe Strummer
First release: The Clash- 1979
Covered by multiple other artists



Say you stand by your man
Tell me something I don't understand
You said you love me and that's a fact
Then you left me, said you felt trapped

Well some things you can explain away
But my heartache's in me till this day

Did you stand by me
No, not at all
Did you stand by me
No way

All the times
When we were close
I'll remember these things the most
I see all my dreams come tumbling down
I won't be happy without you around

So all alone I keep the wolves at bay
There is only one thing that I can say

Did you stand by me
No, not at all
Did you stand by me
No way

You must explain why this must be
Did you lie when you spoke to me

Did you stand by me
No, not at all

Now I got a job
But it don't pay
I need new clothes
I need somewhere to stay
But without all these things I can do
But without your love I won't make it through

But you don't understand my point of view
I suppose there's nothing I can do

Did you stand by me
No, not at all
Did you stand by me
No way

You must explain why this must be
Did you lie when you spoke to me?

Did you stand by me
Did you stand by me
No, not at all
Did you stand by me
No way
Did you stand by me
No, not at all
Did you stand by me
No way

I Met My Baby In Macy's


I Met My Baby In Macy’s
Composer(s): Tommy Dorsey



I met my baby in Macy’s in Gentlemen’s Underwear
I met my baby in Macy’s and that’s where I learned to care
We looked at a cottage on the Mezzanine
With a toaster and an iron and a washing machine
I met my baby in Macy’s in Gentlemen’s Underwear

I asked my baby to wed me in higher-priced Langerie
I asked my baby and said we should honeymoon rightaway
Should head right for heaven on the 2nd floor
And we’ll buy all the romance that they’ve got in the store
I asked my baby to wed me in higher-priced Langerie

And then my baby refused me and told me she didn’t care
I found my baby in Macy’s so I just returned her there
They’re giving me credit but I’m all alone
So I think I’ll take the door, see what Gimballs are showin’
Who wants my baby in Macy’s in Gentlemen’s Underwear
I left my heart on one of those clothing trees
Between the men’s cologne and the b.b.b.
When I lost my baby in Macy’s in Gentlemen’s Underwear

Just Tell Her Jim Said Hello


Just Tell Her Jim Said Hello
Composer(s): Jerry Leiber; Mike Stoller
Performer(s): Elvis Presley



She's sitting right over there
I'd know that face anywhere
I'd run up and embrace her
But I’m ashamed to face her
Just tell her Jim said hello

I'd like to pour out my heart
But I don't know where to start
I'd like to tell her
What I’m really feeling but
Just tell her Jim said hello

Just tell her Jim said hello
Just tell her Jim and she'll know

Don't tell her I’m feeling blue
That's just between me and you
Don't say I’m thinking of her
Don't tell her I still love her
Just tell her Jim said hello

Just tell her Jim said hello
Just tell her Jim said hello
Just tell her Jim said hello

Trailing Around In A Trailer


Trailing Around In A Trailer
Composer(s): Harry Gifford - Fred E. Cliffe
Performer(s): George Formby



I love the fresh air, it's great, I declare
Wide open spaces for me
With trailer and car I set out afar
A rover I meant to be
Over the hills and dales
Over the slugs and snails
Trailing around in a trailer
Eee, it's champion campin' out

It's just like a real gypsy life
To make it look more real, a gypsy lent me his wife
I'd only one pair of pyjamas
It was awkward there's no doubt
We shared the suit between us, but we found it too tight
She had got the left leg on, so I put on the right
The tape it broke and I never got a wink of sleep all night
Eee, it's champion campin' out

On a farm t'other night, I was doin' all right
A dairy maid sat on me knee
One kiss it begun at a quarter-to-one
And it lasted till half-past-three
For breakfast we'd eggs and ham
Then I thought it was time to scram and go
Ttrailin around in me trailer
Eee, it's champion campin' out

To shut the window one day I tried
I banged it in a hurry with me head still inside
When I was doin' some fishin'
A girl strayed round about
She smiled and whispered, "Any luck?", she seemed a gay spark
As far as fishin' went, it's true me luck was off the mark
But I had a bit of luck with her as soon as it was dark
Eee, it's champion campin' out
