A Matter Of Feeling
A Matter Of Feeling
Composer(s): Simon LeBon - Nick Rhodes - Andy Taylor
Performer(s): Duran Duran
How does it feel, when everyone surrounds you?
How do you deal, do crowds make you feel lonely?
What do you say?
When people come and try to pin you down?
Aquaintainces smile, but that's no understanding
How after a while, you keep falling off the same mountain
Try to explain it, but nothing really gets that high
Steal away in the morning, love's already history to you
Just a habit you're forming, this body's desperate for something new
Just a matter of feeling
This moment's madness sure to pass
And tears will dry as you're leaving
Who knows you might find something to last..
Emotion's a game , saved up for a rainy monday
But you laugh just the same, 'cause it's been pouring on sunday
Call up your numbers and never let the zeros let you down
How does it feel?
Is time to heavy to hold, whatever you decide for the moment is holy
Whenever you slow down to see life is passing by
Steal away in the morning, love's already history to you
Just a habit you're forming, this body's desperate for something new
Just a matter of feeling
This moment's madness sure to pass
And tears will dry as you're leaving
Who knows you might find something to last..
(you can..)
Steal away in the morning, love's already history to you
Just a habit you're forming, this body's desperate for something new
Just a matter of feeling
This moment's madness sure to pass
And tears will dry as you're leaving
Who knows you might find something to last..
A matter of feeling..
A matter of feeling..
A matter of feeling..
A matter of feeling..

How Come, How Long
How Come, How Long
Composer(s): Babyface; Stevie Wonder
Performer(s): Babyface; Stevie Wonder
There was a girl I used to know
She was oh so beautiful
But she's not here anymore
She had a college degree
Smart as anyone could be
She had so much to live for
But she fell in love
With the wrong kinda man
He abused her love and treated her so bad
There was not enough education in her world
That could save the life of this little girl
How come, how long
It's not right, it's so wrong
Do we let it just go on
Turn our backs and carry on
Wake up, for it's too late
Right now, we can't wait
She won't have a second try
Open up your hearts
As well as your eyes
She tried to give a cry for help
She even blamed things on herself
But no one came to her aid
Nothing was wrong as far as we could tell
That's what we'd like to tell ourselves
But no, it wasn't that way
So she fell in love
With the wrong kinda man
And she paid with her life
For loving that man
So we cannot ignore
We must look for the signs
And maybe next time
We might save somebody's life
Hook
I on occasion met that guy
He stirred up bad feelings deep inside
Something about him wasn't right
The way he proves himself a man
By beatin' his woman with his hands
Oh I wish she'd seen the light
How can someone like that
Call himself a man
In reality he's far more less than that
And we cannot ignore
Whenever we see the signs
'Cause any kinda of abuse
God knows isn't right
Hook

A Marshmallow World
A Marshmallow World
Composer(s): Peter de Rose - Carl Sigman
Performer(s): Brenda Lee
and multiple other artists
Ahhhh, it's a marshmallow world in the winter
When the snow comes to cover the ground
It's the time for play, it's a whipped cream day
I wait for it the whole year round!
Those are marshmallow clouds being friendly
In the arms of the evergreen trees
And the sun is red like a pumpkin head
It's shining so your nose won't freeze!
The world is your snowball, see how it grows
That's how it goes, whenever it snows
The world is your snowball just for a song
Get out and roll it along!
It's a yum-yummy world made for sweethearts
Take a walk with your favorite girl
It's a sugar date, so what if spring is late
In winter it's a marshmallow world!
It's a marshmallow day in the winter
When the snow comes to cover the ground
It's the time for play, it's a whipped cream day
And we wait for it the whole year round!
Just you remember that
Those are marshmallow clouds being friendly
In the arms of the evergreen trees
And the sun is red like a pumpkin head
It's shining so your nose won't freeze!
You must remember that
The world is your snowball, see how it grows
That's how it goes whenever it snows
The world is your snowball just for a song
Get out and roll it along!
It's a yum-yummy world made for sweethearts
Take a walk with your favorite girl
It's a sugary date, so what if spring is late
In winter it's a marshmallow world...
In winter it's a marshmallow world...
In winter it's a marshmallow world...

I wonder where's my baby tonight
She ain't never around when I want her
Hey Southside, have you seen my baby?
No man, I ain't seen her
Well I been hearing some talk
Are you sure you haven't seen my baby?
Oh no.
Here, here she goes now
Well step out the way
I got to do some talking
Listen here baby to what I say
I break my back working hard all day
And just when I need a little simpaty
you ain't home
I know now baby that I don't ask much
Just a little respect and a loving touch
If I support two people the why am I living alone
Then I wonder
How come you treat me so bad
Your the most loving woman I ever had
How come you treat me so bad
girl I got to know
I got to find out what's going on
All the women stop and they give me the eye
But the woman I love don't even wonder why
I ain't good looking, but I know spending my money
Another man might get her off town
But if your the one that's like messing around
Well I ain't laughing
But something sure seems funny
Don't it
Hey Southside, there's something familiar about that shirt
Well eh..
I like to talk to you but I got to play a little something here
I ask for coocking and you give me food
I ask for ..... and you give me .....
I am asking for time and you tell me I am already to late
what you mean?
Someday girl you might change you mind
You realize what you left behind
I got news for you baby
I just might not wait, no more
How come you treat me so bad
Your the most loving woman I ever had
How come you treat me so bad
I am tired of being lonly and I feel so sad
How come you treat me so bad
Your the most loving woman I ever had
How come you treat me so bad
girl I got to know
That woman makes me so tired
How long can this go on
She's just like her mother
Yeah I know what you mean
What you mean, you know what I mean?
Well don't get excited
I am talking about my baby
Who your talking about?
I was just...
Hey where did you get that shirt?
This is my shirt
Did my baby give you my shirt?
Wait a minute
I paid 12 dollars for that shirt
This is my shirt

A Married Man's A Fool
A Married Man's A Fool
Composer(s): Willie McTell
Performer(s): Ry Cooder; Roy Book Binder; Willie McTell
Had a friend, Louie Brown, he was a deacon
Just as wise as he could be
Now I realized he could read the Good Book
Back from Revelations down to Genesee
You know last Sunday morning we was over to the church
My buddy wants to take him a stand
And he looks out upon the whole congregation
The Good Book in his hand
Now he cast his eye about, and then he looks over in the Amen Corner
All the sisters commenced to shout [What'd he say?]
He said a married man's a fool to think that his wife love nobody else but him
She stick by you all o' your life the chances is mighty slim
Now you read the Good Book, chapter twenty-one
Every married woman got to have a little fun
Read on over chapter twenty-two
It's a sin to let that woman make a fool outta you
Now you read a little further, chapter twenty-three
She two-time you, brother, like she double-crossed me
Read on back, over chapter ten
Shimmy one time, you got the problem again
'Cause a married man's a fool to think that his wife loves nobody else but him
I mean, loves nobody else but him
Well, a married man's a fool to think that his wife
Loves nobody else but him
She stick by you all your life the chances is mighty slim
Now you read on over twenty-fifth page
Married women's, Lord, is hard to engage
Read kinda careful, chapter twenty-six
Back door slamming you got to learn to get it fixed
Read on out, chapter twenty-eight
Who's that back slidin' out through yo' back gate?
I believe I'll close on chapter twenty-nine
Woman get tired of the same man all the time
'Cause a married man's fool to think that his wife loves nobody else but him
I mean love nobody else but him

A Married Man
Composer(s): Marian Grudeff - Raymond Jessel
Performer(s): Peter Sallis
A married man, a married man
How wonderful to be a married man
For now I know life's purpose
And it's plan since time began
A lonely man, I took a wife
And added love and laughter to my life
And realized there's no one richer than
A married man
With two to share each happiness
And two to bear each wound
And, oh, the woe seems so much less
And how the pleasures grow
The bachelor, the bachelor
I've lived his life
And I've lived with her
Well, led him lead his so-called
Merry life as best he can
But as for me, I'd rather be
A happy man, contented man
A married man
Yes, as for me, I'd rather be
A happy man, contented man
A married man

How Can You Tell
How Can You Tell
Composer(s): Chris Andrews
Performer(s): Sandie Shaw
My love says the sweetest things
Everyone who knows him tells me
That he brings me true loving
But I don't really know 'cause
How can you tell if somebody loves you
How d'you know they mean it
How can you tell if somebody loves you
Maybe he's just playing games with me
O woah woah woah
He smiles when I take his hand
Then he'll kiss me and I just don't understand
Why I doubt it
When he tells me he loves me
How can you tell if somebody loves you
How d'you know they mean it
How can you tell if somebody loves you
Maybe he's just playing games with me
O woah woah woah
I treasure every moment
He and I spent together
Sharing kisses
I wish it would last for ever and ever
Maybe I shouldn't speak of love
But since I met him it's the one thing I think of
And he tells me he feels the same way
And yet how can you tell if somebody loves you
How d'you know they mean it
How can you tell if somebody loves you
Maybe he's just playing games with me
O woah woah woah

Composer(s): Hank Williams, Fred Rose
First recording/First release by: Hank Williams - 1947/1949
Covered by multiple other artists
Tonight down here in the valley
I'm lonesome and oh, how I feel
As I sit here alone in your cabin
I can see your mansion on the hill
Do you remember when we parted?
The story to me you revealed
You said you could live without love, dear
In your loveless mansion on the hill
I've waited all through the years. love
To give you a heart true and real
Cos I know you are living in sorrow
In your loveless mansion on the hill
The light shines bright from your window
The trees stand so silent and still
I know you're alone with your pride, dear
In your loveless mansion on the hill

How Can You Mend A Broken Heart?
How Can You Mend A Broken Heart?
Composer(s): Barry Gibb; Robin Gibb
Performer(s): Al Green; The Bee Gees
I can think of younger days when living for my life
Was everything a man could want to do
I could never see tomorrow, but I was never told about the sorrow
And how can you mend a broken heart?
How can you stop the rain from falling down?
How can you stop the sun from shining?
What makes the world go round?
How can you mend a this broken man?
How can a loser ever win?
Please help me mend my broken heart and let me live again
I can still feel the breeze that rustles through the trees
And misty memories do days gone by
We could never see tomorrow, noone said a word about the sorrow
And how can you mend a broken heart?
How can you stop the rain from falling down?
How can you stop the sun from shining?
What makes the world go round?
How can you mend this broken man?
How can a loser ever win?
Please help me mend my broken heart and let me live again

Performer(s): Warren Oates, Johnny Whitaker, Jeff East
Muff:
Take a look at the folks you've knowed
Young or growed
Some keep trivin'
And some keep strivin' in vain
It's a matter of destiny
Who you'll be
The judge or the preacher
Or pitiful creature
They's hangin' from a tree
Whoa, a man's gotta be
What he's born to be
So just sit back and wait
Be it soon or late
He'll be small or great
Yeah, a man's gotta be
What he's born to be
Just sit back and wait
Soon or late
Small or great
There ain't no fightin' fate
Doesn't matter what you may try
By and by
Some get lucky
And some get stuck in the mud
That's the way the ol' world behaves
Why make waves?
Sooner or later
Just as a potater
We're planted in our graves
Whoa, a man's gotta be
What he's born to be
So just sit back and wait
Be it soon or late
He'll be small or great
Yeah, a man's gotta be
What he's born to be
So just sit back and wait
Soon or late
Small or great
There ain't no fightin' fate
Where's the future
In plans and schemes
When it seems
That ol' grim reaper
Will soon, be a-leapin' on you?
When it's over
You'll know you're bound
To be found
Wearin' your Sunday clothes
Sleepin' in sweet repose
Six feet under ground
Muff and Tom:
Whoa, a man's gotta be
What he's born to be
So just sit back and wait
Be it soon or late
He'll be small or great
Yeah, a man's gotta be

Just sit back and wait
Soon or late
Small or great
There ain't no fightin' fate
No, Sir, there ain't no fightin' fate

Just sit back and wait
Soon or late
Small or great
There ain't no fightin' fate
No, Sir, there ain't no fightin' fate!

An American landed on Erin's green isle

How can you buy all the stars in the skies?
How can you buy two blue Irish eyes?
How can you purchase a fond mother's sighs?

A Mano A Mano
((French Version: De Jour En Jour (Riccardo Cocciante) - 1978))
Composer(s): Riccardo Cocciante - Marco Luberti
First release by: Riccardo Cocciante - 1978
A mano a mano ti accorgi che il vento
Ti soffia sul viso e ti ruba un sorriso
La vecchia stagione che sta per finire
Ti soffia sul cuore e ti ruba l'amore
A mano a mano si scioglie nel pianto
Quel dolce ricordo sbiadito dal tempo
Di quando vivevi con me in una stanza
Non c'erano soldi ma tanta speranza
E a mano a mano mi perdi e ti perdo
E quello che è stato ci sembra più assurdo
Di quando la notte eri sempre più vera
E non come adesso nei sabato sera....
Ma...dammi la mano e torna vicino
Può nascere un fiore nel nostro giardino
Che neanche l'inverno potrà mai gelare
Può crescere un fiore da questo mio amore per te
E a mano a mano vedrai che nel tempo
Lì sopra il tuo viso lo stesso sorriso
Che il vento crudele ci aveva rubato
Che torna fedele
L'amore è tornato da te....

Composer(s): Riccardo Cocciante - Marco Luberti - Giovanni Tommaso
Performer(s): Riccardo Cocciante - 1978; Ivana Spagna - 2001
De jour en jour, tu comprends que le temps
Souffle sur ton visage et te vole un sourire
La belle saison qui s'en va lentement
A soufflé sur ton coeur et t'a volé tes rêves
De jour en jour, tout se fond dans les larmes
Même ce souvenir, affaibli par le temps
Quand nous vivions, tous deux, dans une chambre
Sans rien dans les mains que notre seule espérance
De jour en jour, je te perds, tu t'éloignes
Et notre passé ne ressemble à rien
Pourtant on s'est aimés, pourtant on y croyait
On s'était même jurés de ne jamais se quitter
Mais donne-moi la main, j'ai envie pour nous deux
De refaire le chemin, de nous revoir heureux
De te prendre dans mes bras, de me perdre dans tes yeux
Tu verras, si l'on veut, que l'on peut recommencer ensemble
De jour en jour, de défaites en conquêtes
Voir sur ton visage refleurir un sourire
La belle saison qui revient lentement
Nous rappelle la promesse qu'on s'est faite de ne plus se quitter

Started out good [We started out so good]

How can love so right be so wrong now

The fires from our love
Could light up a room
But somewhere along the way
We made a jagged turn
The plans we both had
They’re beginning to burn
How can love so right be so wrong now
How can love so right be so wrong now
How can a love so good turn out so bad
(So bad, so bad, so bad, yeah)
Tell me what happened to the love we once had

Too bad, so sad, too bad, whoa, how
How can love so right be so wrong now
One day your love is glad
The next day you end up sad
Ooh, babe, what a thin line
It’s enough to drive you mad
One day our love was good and hot
Next day runnin’ cold
One day we had a new love
But now it’s old
How, how, how
How can love so right be so wrong now
How can love so right be so wrong now
How can love so right be so wrong now
How can love so right be so wrong now
How can love so right be so wrong now
How can love so right be so wrong now

I can remember when we walked together
Sharing a love I thought would last forever
Moonlight to show the way so we can follow
Waiting inside her eyes was my tomorrow
Then somethin' changed her mind, her kisses told me
I had no lovin' arms to hold me
Every day I wake up, then I start to break up
Lonely is a man without love
Every day I start out, then I cry my heart out
Lonely is a man without love
Every day I wake up, then I start to break up
Knowing that it's cloudy above
Every day I start out, then I cry my heart out
Lonely is a man without love
I cannot face this world that's fallen down on me
So, if you see my girl please send her home to me
Tell her about my heart that's slowly dying
Say I can't stop myself from crying
Every day I wake up, then I start to break up
Lonely is a man without love
Every day I start out, then I cry my heart out
Lonely is a man without love
Every day I wake up, then I start to break up
Knowing that it's cloudy above
Every day I start out, then I cry my heart out
Lonely is a man without love
Every day I wake up, then I start to break up

What do you do when a dream comes true?
How can I thank you, sweetheart?
