Please Love Me Forever


Please Love Me Forever
Composer(s): Ollie Blanchard; John Malone
Performer(s): Tommy Edwards;
and various other artists



Please love me forever
Don't forget me ever
Just listen to my plea
Please don't stop loving me

You're in my dreams nightly
Don't take my love lightly
Begging on bended knee
Please don't stop loving me

Oh, when I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord your love I'll keep
If I should die before I wake
I'll come back for you
That's no mistake

Oh, I'll love you forever
Can't forget you ever
Our love was meant to be
Please don't stop loving me

I'll love you forever
Can't forget you ever
Our love was meant to be
Please don't stop loving me

Small Axe


Small Axe
Composer(s): Lee Perry; Bob Marley
First release by: Bob Marley - 1971



Why boasteth thyself
Oh, evil men
Playing smart
And not being clever?
I said, you're working iniquity
To achieve vanity (if a-so a-so)
But the goodness of Jah, Jah
I-dureth for-I-ver

So if you are the big tree
We are the small axe
Ready to cut you down (well sharp)
To cut you down

These are the words
Of my master, keep on tellin' me
No weak heart
Shall prosper
And whosoever diggeth a pit
Shall fall in it, fall in it
And whosoever diggeth a pit
Shall fall in it (... fall in it)

If you are the big tree, let me tell you that
We are the small axe, sharp and ready
Ready to cut you down (well sharp)
To cut you down

(To cut you down)

(To cut you down)

These are the words
Of my master, tellin' me that
No weak heart
Shall prosper
And whosoever diggeth a pit
Shall fall in it, uh, bury in it
And whosoever diggeth a pit
Shall bury in it, uh (... bury in it)

If you are the big, big tree
We are the small axe
Ready to cut you down (well sharp)
To cut you down
If you are the big, big tree, let me tell you that
We are the small axe
Ready to cut you down (well sharp)
To cut you down
Sharpened ...

Please Hurt Me


Please Hurt Me
Composer(s): Gerry Goffin; Carole King
Performer(s): Little Eva; The Crystals



If you gotta hurt somebody, please hurt me
and if you gotta break a heart, then please break mine
I won't cry if you deceive me
I'll take it with a smile
I know someday you will leave me
But at least I'll have you for a while
So darlin', if you gotta hurt somebody, please hurt me
and if I have to be a plaything, that's what I'll be
Please hurt me, oh please hurt me
Come on & please hurt me
Why don't you please hurt me

Une Chanson C'est Une Lettre


Une Chanson C'est Une Lettre
Composer(s): Boris Bergman; André Popp
First performance by: Sophie - 1975



Vois-tu? – La chanson c'est une lettre
Qu'on écrit pour soi et puis qu'on jette
Elle ne voit jamais la boîte aux lettres
Et pourtant

On a le courage d'y dire: "Je t'aime"
Puisque c'est un autre sur la scène
Qui vient le crier sans avoir peur
Des projecteurs

Une chanson c'est une lettre
Que l'on écrit là dans sa tête
Une chanson c'est une lettre
Que l'on n'envoie...
Que l'on n'envoie jamais

Les amours y sont toujours parfaites
On a jamais peur d'y être bête
Quand le cœur est prêt à se soumettre
À un cœur

Il est plus facile de dire: "Je t'aime"
À l'alexandrin de son poème
L'amour n'est jamais comme sur la scène
Dans la vie

Une chanson c'est une lettre
Que l'on écrit là dans sa tête
Une chanson c'est une lettre
Que ne prendra jamais plus le facteur

"Partons tous les deux sur ce navire"
Voilà des choses que je ne peux dire
Ma gorge se serre et se déchire
À l'idée
Qu'un jour il faudrait que je t'écrive
Ces mots plantés là sur l'autre rive
Faute de te faire une missive
J'ai chanté

Une chanson c'est une lettre
Que l'on écrit là dans sa tête
Une chanson c'est une lettre
Que ne prendra jamais le facteur

Une chanson c'est une lettre
Que l'on écrit là dans sa tête
Une chanson c'est une lettre
Qui reste en soi
Qui se froisse et qui meurt

Please Help The Cause Against Loneliness


Please Help The Cause Against Loneliness
Composer(s): Stephen Street Morrissey
Performer(s): Sandie Shaw



Please help the cause against loneliness
Would you like to note my home address
Please help the cause against loneliness
Would you kindly note my inside leg
I don't mind what time you come 'round
If it's the daytime then I might be in bed
I'm so very young, I am so really really young

Please help the cause against loneliness
Would you like a list of my dislikes
There are people with problems
I've known this, I've known this for years
There are paupers and peers who have problems

I don't mind what time you come 'round
If it's the weekend then I have to be dead
I'm so very young, I am so really really young
I'm so young, really really ...
I am so young, I am so young

Pick me a town
In any clime
Where people like
A rockin time
And stay awake

Ahhhhh, smack dab in the middle, boys now

A diamond mill
Ten suits of clothes
To dress to kill
A ten room house
Some Bar B Q
And fifty chicks not over twenty-two

A street that's paved

of bonds and stocks
Then open up the door at Fort Knox

Then throw me
(Smack dab in the middle)
I wanna be
(Smack dab in the middle)
Ahhhhh, now listen boys throw me smack dab in the middle right now
So Ray can rock and roll to satisfy his soul

Oodles of butter and somethin sweet
Gallons of coffee to wash it down
Bicarbonated soda by the pound

Then throw me
(Smack dab in the middle)
I picture it
(Smack dab in the middle)
Ahhhhh, throw me now, smack dab in the middle right now
So I can rock and roll to satisfy my soul

Alright!

Please Don't Turn Me Away


Please Don't Turn Me Away
Composer(s): Roy Buchanan; Billy Price Keystone Rhythm Band
Performer(s): Roy Buchanan



Please don't turn me away
Please let me stay
I'm asking you for just a little bit of your time
I'm asking you to leave the past behind
You don't have to tell me that it was never right
I know that baby
But all I really know right now is that I need you tonight

I need your love at once to stop the rain
To easy my pain
I need the sound of your sweet voice
Baby, to comfort me through my dark and rhythmic night

Please don't turn me away
please let me stay
Don't make me pay for each and every one of my crimes
All I want to do baby, all I want to do is hold you one more time
And if I cannot ever be you lover again
For one more night... for one more night let me be your friend

Please Don't Touch


Please Don't Touch
Composer(s): Heath Robinson
Performer(s): Johnny Kidd;
and various other artists



Don't you touch me baby, 'cause I'm shakin' so much
Don't you touch me baby, 'cause I'm shakin' so much
Well there ain't no other woman that makes me feel this way
When she comes up close, well I just ain't a word to say
Please don't touch, I shake so much
Please don't touch, I shake so much

Don't you touch me baby, 'cause I'm shakin' so much
Don't you touch me baby, 'cause I'm shakin' so much
Well I get so nervous when I see her eyes that shine
She looks right through me and the chills run down my spine
Please don't touch, I shake so much
Please don't touch, I shake so much

Well I don't know why she got her claws in me
I wanna be a bachelor, fancy free
Running from the preacher, boy what a relief
I'm gonna spend my life shakin' like a leaf
Well remembering the first time her ruby lips brushes my cheek
I opened my mouth but the rest of me just wouldn't speak
Please don't touch, I shake so much
Please don't touch, I shake so much

Don't you touch me baby, 'cause I'm shakin' so much
Don't you touch me baby, 'cause I'm shakin' so much
Oh baby don't you touch me now...

Slutet Gott, Allting Gott


Slutet Gott, Allting Gott
Composer(s): S. Andersson; Ben Wilson; Judy Lynn
Performer(s): Agnetha Fältskog



Den första gång jag mötte dig, en regnig, tråkig dag
Så gjorde du en slät figur, såg trist ut tyckte jag
Sen blev jag kär som aldrig förr, om starten än var sval
Är slutet gott har jag förstått, ja då är allting gott

Nu är du den jag drömmer om och alltid tänker på
Jag vandrar i ett rosigt rus, min hela värld är blå
Att allting skulle ändra sig, det kunde ingen spå
Är slutet gott har jag förstått, ja då är allting gott

Människan spår men ödet rår och man vet aldrig hur
Ibland så går det tokigt till, men ibland så har man tur
Och är man kär så är man där, man kommer aldrig ut
Är slutet gott har jag förstått, ja då är allting gott

Människan spår men ödet rår och man vet aldrig hur
Ibland så går det tokigt till, men ibland så har man tur
Och är man kär så är man där, man kommer aldrig ut
Är slutet gott har jag förstått, ja då är allting gott
Är slutet gott har jag förstått, ja då är allting gott

Please Don't Tell Me How The Story Ends


Please Don't Tell Me How The Story Ends
Composer(s): Kris Kristofferson
Performer(s): Kris Kristofferson;
and various other artists



This could be our last good night together
We may never pass this way again
Just let me enjoy it `til it's over, or forever
Please don't tell me how the story ends

See the way our shadows come together
Softer than your fingers on my skin
Someday these may be all that we remember of each other
Please don't tell me how the story ends

Never's just the echo of forever
Lonesome as a love that might have been
Let me go on lovin' and believing `til it's over
Please don't tell me how the story ends
Please don't tell me how the story ends

Slumming On Park Avenue


Slumming On Park Avenue
Composer(s): Irving Berlin
Performer(s): Alice Faye
and multiple other artists



Put on your slumming clothes and get your car
Let's go sightseeing where the high-toned people are

Come on, there's lots of fun in store for you
See how the other half lives on Park Avenue

Let's go slumming, take me slumming
Let's go slumming on Park Avenue

Let us hide behind a pair of fancy glasses
And make faces when a member of the classes passes

Let's go smelling where they're dwelling
Sniffing ev'rything the way they do

Let us go to it, they do it
Why can't we do it too?
Let's go slumming, nose thumbing, on Park Avenue

Let's go slumming, take me slumming
Let's go slumming on Park Avenue

Where the social hearts
For Broadway lights are throbbing

And they spend their nights
In smart cafés hobknobbing, snobbing

Come let's eye them, pass right by them
Looking down our noses as they do

Let us go to it, they do it
Why can't we do it too?
Let's go slumming, crumb bumming, on Park Avenue

Tablados

Tablados
Performer(s): Chico Buarque



Na minha lembrança a moça arrebatava o chão
Do meu coração, tablado solto no sem-fim
Sim, roçava a franja nos desejos do salão
Não pintava a boca só pra mim

Lembro da encarnada moça na iluminação
Encarnada num tablado de encarnado igual
A boca pintada de sangrado coração
Sendo a rosa e o fogo, o bem e o mal

Pra sempre minha onde seu corpo for
Descansar, distrair
Para sempre moça quando o meu amor
Precisar e pedir

Na minha cabeça, moça, a íntima sessão
Sem saia encarnada, nada, num passado assim
Mal iluminado, sua própria encarnação
Fundos de memória, camarim

Singing This Song


Singing This Song
First performance by: Renato - 1975



Don't cry, for what's the use to be counting your blues?
Just say you had a date and your friend turned out to be late
Cheer up, think it's a boon, go on, whistle a tune

Nothing will change what had to be done, it just happened to be
Pack your troubles and make fun, you'll enjoy it, you'll see

So do listen to me, whatever your trouble may be
Join in and come along with a smile and a song

It's good to understand that the world is not at its end
Forget what beats you inside, keep it out of your mind

Nothing will change what had to be done, it just happened to be
Pack your troubles and make fun, you'll enjoy it, you'll see

Sure love not to be hurt, we were born to live on this Earth
So when something goes wrong, join in singing this song

Sure love not to be hurt, we were born to live on this Earth
So when something goes wrong, join in singing this song

Join in singing this song

Slowly (Luis Eduardo Aute)


Slowly Composer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute Performer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute



Por más que encuentre un tesoro en las Fuentes del Nilo
quiero bailar un "slow with you tonight, tonight
Y aunque seas la Monna Lisa o la Venus de Milo
quiero bailar un 'Slow" with you tonight, tonight
Por más que yo sea una Bestía y tu seas tan Bella
quiero bailar un "slow" with you tonight"
Ya puede caernos encima un diluvio de estrellas
quiero bailar un "slow" with you como aquel
Times goes by, so slowly
I hunger for your... sha la la la la
Slowly, slowly...
Por más que nos pille el estúpido de tu marido
Quiero bailar un "slow" with you tonight
Y aunque enamorarme de ti me lo tengas prohibido
quiero bailar un 'Slow" with you tonight, my love
Por más que no pueda comprarte un collar de diamantes
quiero bailar un "Slow" with you tonight
Y aunque nunca llegue a ser Harrison Ford como amante
quiero bailar un "slow" with you como aquel...
At the end of'the rainbow
You'll find a pot of gold... Sha la la la la
Slowly, Slowly
Por más que aparezca la grúa y se lleve mi coche
quiero bailar un "slow" with you tonight
Por mí que reviente el planeta en confetti esta noche
quiero bailar un "slow" with you tonight
Y como parece que el corto verano se acaba
quiero bailar un "slow" with you tonight, tonight
Seamos, al fin, Salomon y la Reina de Saba
I want to dance a "Slow" with you como aquel
Dream
Dream, dream, dream
Sha la la la la
I love you when you do it
So slowly, so slowly
Oh baby, baby, be mine tonight...
I love you when you do it
so slowly, so slowly
Oh baby, baby, please hold me tight...
so slowly

Ta Mo Chleamhnas Deanta

Ta Mo Chleamhnas Deanta
Performer(s): Van Morrison & The Chieftains



Ta mo chleamhnas deanta o athru areir
S'ni mo na go dtaithnioonn an bhean liom fein
Ach fagfaidh me i mo dhiaidh i
'gus imeoidh me liom fein
Ar fud na gcoillte craobhach

My match it was made here last night
To a girl I neither love nor like
But I'll take my own advice
And leave her behind
And go roaming the wild woods all over

Shiuil mise thoir agus shiuil mise thiar
Shiuil mise Corcaigh 'gus sraide Bh'l'ath Cliath
Ach samhail de mo chailin deas ni fhaca mise riamh
'Si an bhean dubh a dhfhag mo chroi craite

I walked up and I walked down
I walked Cork, and Dublin, and Belfast towns
But no equal to my true love could I find
She's the wee lass that's left my heart broken

D'eirigh me ar maidin dha uair roimh an la
'gus fuair me litir o mo mhile ghra
Chuala me an smoilin 's an londubh a ra
Gur ealiagh mo ghra thar saile

I got up two hours before day
And I got a letter from my true love
I heard the blackbird and linnet say
That my love had crossed the ocean

She's the wee lass that's left my heart broken
She's the wee lass that's left my heart broken

Let Me Be The One (The Shadows)


Let Me Be The One
Composer(s): Paul Curtis
First performance by: The Shadows - 1975



Tonight-Tonight-Tonight
Let me be the one who's lovin' you tonight
Let me be the one who really holds you tight
I'll even bring along a magic moon
Just to make you feel alright
So let me be the one who's lovin' you tonight

Let me be the one who takes you by the hand
Let me be the one who always understands
Ev'rybody knows we've been good friends

But I think the time is right
So let me be the one who's lovin' you tonight
you and I could have an affair
Make sweet music go anywhere
Building highways
taking a bend
As long as I know you really care
Won't you show that you care-oh come on

Let me be the one who's lovin' you tonight

Ta Mère Est Là

Ta Mère Est Là
Performer(s): Bourvil



Avec son éternel pépin à la main
Pin à la main, pin à la main
Avec sa toque et son renard en lapin
Avec son tricot et son chien Kiki

Avec ses nerfs et son fragile intestin
Avec son régime et son pain
Ta mère est là!
Vraiment c'est pas un' sinécure
Ta mère est là!
Juste au moment où on n'l'attend pas
Ta mère est là!
C'est pas possible, elle se figure
Que toi et moi
On dépérit quand elle n'est pas là

Avec son air de n'pas vouloir se mêler
De démêler nos démêlés
Avec un oeil et une oreille en faction
Avec ses reflexion maison, zin, zin
Avec ses idées qu'elle défend sur un ton
Qui monte plus vite que sa tension
Ta mère est là!
Y a pas d'erreur, c'est un' nature
Ta mère est là!
Aussi pénible qu'une fin de mois
Ne me dis pas
Que j'peux pas la voir en peinture
J'aim'rai mieux ça
Car son portrait, j'l'accroch'rais pas là

Ta mère est là!
Allons ne fais pas cette figure
Tu le sais bien
J'en dis beaucoup mais j'en pense pas moins
Ta mère est là!
Ça va t'étonner mais j't'assure
Que mine de rien
Ta mère au fond moi je l'aime bien de loin!

Slowburn


Slowburn
Composer(s): Peter Gabriel
Performer(s): Peter Gabriel



We're character actors from the Tower of Babel
Bewildered, burned out hardly able
To sit astride the high wire cable
It's hard to balance, a little unstable

Through broken eyes and contact lenses
(I) Watched you draw your future tenses
See kisses of flame blow out of your lips
You're back telling me your Apocalypse

Don't get me wrong, I'll be strong
When the slowburn sunset come along
You've gotta stay the night
I gotta think that you might

We've tried a handful of bills and a handful of pills
We've tried making movies from a volume of stills
(But) the words fell like hailstones
bouncing at our feet
Covering our feelings with a frozen sheet

A chance to move, I take a shot
I get cold - you get hot
We look outside, lyin' awake
See birds breaking surface on a silent lake

But don't get me wrong, I'll be strong
When I'm back on the Isle of Avalon
Dont get me wrong, I'll be strong
When the slow burn sunset come along
You've got to stay the night
I've got to think that you might

Don't try (to) make it easy, it'll cut you down to size
Darlin' we've got to trust in something
We're shooting down our skies
shooting down (shooting down) our skies
(shooting down our ...)
