Ain't No Cure For Love
Ain't No Cure For Love
((Swiss Version: Äs Git Kei Kur Gägs D'liäbi (by Sina) - 1995))
Composer(s): Leonard Cohen
First release by: Jennifer Warnes - 1986
Covered by multiple other artists
I've loved you for a long, long time
I know this love is real
It don't matter how it all went wrong
That don't change the way I feel
I don't believe that time can heal this wound I'm speaking of
Ah, there ain't no cure
There ain't no cure
There ain't no cure for love
I'm aching for you baby
I can't pretend I'm not
I love to see you naked
In your body and your thought
I've got you like a habit
Oh I'll never get enough
Ah, there ain't no cure
There ain't no cure
There ain't no cure for love
There ain't no cure for love
There ain't no cure for love
No cure no drug, it's all been
I can't get nothing done, and be with anyone
I want your brother love, I want that other love
And no cure for love
I don't expect the melody
Just because the things are rough
And I seem became so careful
To forget how good it were
I've never given in
Oh, I've never given up baby
Ah, there ain't no cure
There ain't no cure
There ain't no cure for love
Ain't no cure for love
No cure no drug, no no
I can't get nothing done, I can't be with anyone
There ain't no cure for love

When It's Springtime In The Rockies
When It's Springtime In The Rockies
Composer(s): Robert Sauer; Mary Hale Woolsey
Performer(s): Gene Autry;
and various other artists
The twilight shadows deepen into night, dear
The city lights are gleaming o'er the snow
I sit alone beside the cheery fire dear
I'm dreaming dreams from out the long ago
I fancy it is springtime in the mountain
The flowers with their colors are aflame
And ev'ry day I hear you softly saying
"I'll wait until the springtime comes again"
When it's springtime in the rockies
I am coming back to you
Little sweetheart of the mountains
With your bonny eyes of blue
Once again I'll say "I love you"
While the birds sing all the day
When it's springtime in the rockies
In the rockies, far away
When it's springtime in the rockies
I am coming back to you
Little sweetheart of the mountains
With your bonny eyes of blue
Once again I'll say "I love you"
While the birds sing all the day
When it's springtime in the rockies
In the rockies, far away
I've kept your image guarded in my heart, dear
I've kept my love for you, as pure as dew
I'm longing for the time when I shall come, dear
Back to that dear, old western home and you
I fancy it is springtime in the mountains
The maple leaves in first sky-green appear
I hear you softly say, my queen of Maytime
"This springtime you have come to meet me here"
When it's springtime in the rockies
I am coming back to you
Little sweetheart of the mountains
With your bonny eyes of blue
Once again I'll say "I love you"
While the birds sing all the day
When it's springtime in the rockies
In the rockies, far away

Ain't No Crime
Ain't No Crime
Composer(s): Billy Joel
Performer(s): Billy Joel
You got to open your eyes in the morning
Nine o'clock comin' with out any warnin'
And you gotta get ready to go
You say you went out late last evenin'
Did a lot of drinkin'
Come home stinkin'
And you went and fell asleep on the floor
And then your lady comes and finds you asleepin'
Starts in to weepin' 'bout the hours you been keepin'
And you better get your ass out the door
Ain't no crime
Say ev'rybody gets that way some time
Ain't no crime
You know it's good to get it on to get a load off your mind
Oh no, it ain't no crime
Oh
You got to open your eyes in the morning
Nine o'clock comin' with out any warnin'
And you gotta get ready to go
Well now you tell me you love somebody
And you'll love 'em forever
You may love 'em forever
But you won't like 'em all of the time
Well now you tell me you need somebody for the rest of your life
You might have somebody
But you won't want 'em ev'ryday
Ain't no crime
Say ev'rybody gets that way some time
Ain't no crime
Well it's just human nature
Happens all the time
Oh no, it ain't no crime
Oh
And just as surely as the wind keeps blowin'
The grass keeps growin'
You gotta keep goin'
And the Lord have mercy on your soul
La, la la la

When It's Springtime In Alaska (It's Forty Below)
When It's Springtime In Alaska (It's Forty Below)
Composer(s): Tillman Franks; Johnny Horton
Performer(s): Johnny Horton;
and various other artists
I mushed from Point Barrow through a blizzard of snow
Been out prospectin' for two years or so
Pulled into Fairbanks the city was a boom
So I took a little stroll to the Red Dog Saloon
As I walked in the door the music was clear
The purtiest voice I had heard in two years
The song she was singin' made a man's blood run cold
When it's springtime in Alaska, it's forty below
(When it's springtime in Alaska, it's forty below)
It was Redheaded Lil who was singin' so sweet
I reached down and took the snowpacks off my feet
I reached for the gal who was singin' the tune
We did the Eskimo Hop all around the saloon
With a caribou crawl and the grizzly bear hug
We did our dance on a kodiak rug
The song she kept singin' made a man's blood run cold
When it's springtime in Alaska, it's forty below
I was as innocent as I could be
I didn't know Lil was big Ed's wife to be
He took out his knife and he gave it a throw
When it's springtime in Alaska, I'll be six feet below
(When it's springtime in Alaska, he'll be six feet below)

Performer(s): Louis Armstrong

No one to talk with
All by myself
No one to walk with
But I'm happy on the shelf
Ain't misbehavin'
I'm savin' my love for you
I know for certain
The one I love
I'm through with flirtin'
It's just you I'm thinkin' of
Ain't misbehavin'
I'm savin' my love for you
Like Jack Horner
In the corner
Don't go nowhere
What do I care?
Your kisses are worth waitin' for
Believe me
I don't stay out late
Don't care to go
I'm home about eight
Just me and my radio
Ain't misbehavin'
I'm savin' my love for you

When It's Sleepy Time Down South
When It's Sleepy Time Down South
Composer(s): Clarence Muse; Otis René; Leon René
Performer(s): Mel Tormé;
and various other artists
Pale moon shining on the fields below
Folks are crooning songs soft and low
Needn't tell me so, because I know
It's sleepy time down south
Soft winds blowing through the pinewood trees
Folks down there live a life of ease
When the twilight brings the evening breeze
It's sleepy time down south
Steamboats on the river a-comin' and a-goin'
Splashing the night away
Hear those banjos ringin', the folks are all a-singin'
They dance till break of day
Dear old southland, with its dreamy songs
Takes me back there where I belong
How I'd love to be in mother's arms
When it's sleepy time down south

Ain't Love Funny
Ain't Love Funny
Composer(s): J.J. Cale
Performer(s): J.J. Cale
She brings me flowers from the waterwell
She keeps me laughing all day
We ride on a horse to the river and back
Ain’t love funny, funny it’s funny
Aint’ love funny that way
She calls in the evening to tell me she’s back
She likes to talk on the phone
Would I come over and just rub her back
Ain’t love funny, funny it’s funny
Ain’t love funny you know
This woman’s touch, it is too much
Tingles right to the bone
Her hand’s so slight with a wink in her eyes
Keeps me comin’ back home
She gives everything expects no return
She’s always there when I’m down
Love her a day, don’t go away
Ain’t love funny, funny it’s funny
Funny when it comes around
We go on for hours about nothin’ at all
We never know what it means
Sometimes it’s easy, sometimes it’s not
Ain’t love funny, funny it’s funny
Funny it’s just what it seems

(When It's) Orange Blossom Time In Loveland
(I'll Be Waiting At The Church For You)
Composer(s): Jeff Branen; Arthur Lange
Don't you sigh, don't you cry, good times will soon be coming
Springtime must come again
By and by you and I
a tune will soon be humming more like a wedding strain
For the day is dawning near, I'll be with you never fear
Winter's here, spring is near
for time is ever flying
soon we must welcome June
Then my dear, never fear
You'll have no time for sighing
then's when we'll honeymoon
With your sweetheart by your side
you will be a blushing bride
When it's orange blossom time in loveland
don't forget to wear your wedding gown
dress right up in style, wear your sweetest smile
I'm coming, I'm coming, I'll soon be back in town
When you hear those wedding bells a ringing
then you'll understand just what to do
When it's orange blossom time in loveland
I'll be waiting at the church for you

Ain't Livin' Long Like This
Ain't Livin' Long Like This
Composer(s): Rodney Crowell
Performer(s): Foghat
and multiple other artists
I looked for trouble and found it son
Straight down the barrel of a lawman's gun
I'd try to run but I don't think I can
If I move I'm a dead man
Ain't livin' long like this
I can't live at all like this can I baby
He slipped the cuffs on behind my back
Then left me freezing on a steel rail rack
They got `em all in the jailhouse don't they baby
I ain't livin' long like this
Can't live at all like this can I baby
Grew up in Houston off a wayside drive
Son of a carhop in an all-night dive
He drove a stock car to an early death
All I remember is a drunk man's breath
Ain't livin' long like this
I can't live at all like this can I baby
We know the story how the wheel goes `round
Don't let `em take you to the man downtown
I can't sleep at all in the jailhouse can I baby
Ain't livin' long like this
I can't live at all like this can I baby
I live for Angel she's the roadhouse queen
Make Texas Ruby look like Sandra Dee
I want to love her but I don't know how
I'm at the bottom of the jailhouse now
Ain't livin' long like this
I can't live at all like this can I baby
You know the story `bout the jailhouse rock
Go on and do it just don't get caught
They got `em all in the jailhouse don't they baby
Ain't livin' long like this
I can't live at all like this can I baby
Ain't livin' long like this
I swear I can't live at all like this can I baby
Oh baby
Take it home for me
Ain't livin' long like this am I baby

When It's Night-Time In Italy It's Wednesday Over Here
When It's Night-Time In Italy
It's Wednesday Over Here
Composer(s): Lew Brown; James Kendis
Performer(s): The Everly Brothers;
and various other artists
A Rah-Rah-Rah-Rah college boy threw all his books away
He said, "I've lost my appetite, my hair is turning grey
I know my Greek and History, and Latin is a "pie"
But if East is East and West is West, then won't you tell me why
When it's night time in Italy it's Wednesday over here
When it's fish day in Germany
You can't get shaved in Massachusetts
How high is up? I'd like to know
How low is down? And when will we have snow?
If you bump into Gallager you'll find that Sean is near
When it's night-time in Italy it's Wednesday over here"
When it's night time in Italy it's Wednesday over here
When it's Christmas in Albany
They're catching fish in Scandinavia
That's right, you're wrong
No, no; you're wrong; that's right
Although the days are long
It's always cool at night
If you can't play the piccolo
The holidays are near
When it's night time in Italy and Wednesday over here
This Rah-Rah-Rah-Rah college boy stood up in class and said
"I looked up my Geography, and found out Ceasar's dead!
The reason I speak Portuguese is I'm some clever guy
But if "parley vous" means "how are you"
then won't you tell me why
When it's night-time in Italy it's Wednesday over here
All the onions in Sicily make people cry in California
You drive a horse. I drive a Ford
That doesn't prove a sailor is a board
If you talk to an Eskimo his breath will freeze your ear
When it's night-time in Italy it's Wednesday over here
When it's night-time in Italy it's Wednesday over here
When it's wash day in Piccardy
They're eating ice cream cones in Georgia
Sixteen and four makes thirty one
Take eight from five and your day's work is done
There are people who hesitate, but corned-beef makes them cheer
When it's night-time in Italy and Wednesday over here
When it's night time in Italy, it's Wednesday over here
When the wind blows in Louisville
I always dream of Julius Caesar
Young folks are young, of course
And old folks are old, why not
Fire is very hot, but ice is sometimes cold
Try and fondle a porcupine, what makes ice cream so dear?
When it's night time in Italy, it's Wednesday over here
I saw a Chinaman
Fight a Scandinavian
Up steped an Englishman, and said, "I'd like to speak
Why kick this man around?
Why strike him when he's down?
Just hit him with a hammer and then bite him on his cheek!"
Up stepped an Irish cop
Who said, "This fight will have to stop
I'd like to know what the scrap is all about"
They said, "When we tell you
It will drive you nutty too"
And so they held the traffic up while they tried to figure out
When it's night-time in Italy, it's Wednesday over here
When the snow falls in Araby
They're squeezing grapes in California
Look at you here. Grass on the dew
Leather shoes are black, but other shoes are new
If there's sunshine in Washington, what makes the moonshine dear?
When it's night time in Italy, it's Wednesday over here
If you lay on a mattress, you'll find that spring is near
If you haven't an appetite, just think of Paul Revere
By the time that they pass a bill to bring back wine and beer
It'll be night-time in Italy and Wednesday over here

Temptation (Tom Waits)
Temptation
Composer(s): Tom Waits
Performer(s): Tom Waits
Rusted brandy in a diamond glass
everything is made from dreams
time is made from honey slow and sweet
only the fools know what it means
temptation, temptation, temptation
oh, temptation, temptation, I can't resist
I know that she is made of smoke
but I've lost my way
she knows that I am broke
so that I must play
temptation, temptation, temptation
oh, whoa, temptation, temptation, I can't resist
Dutch pink and Italian blue
she is waiting there for you
my will has disappeared
now my confusion's oh so clear
temptation, temptation, temptation
whoa, whoa, temptation, temptation

When It's Moonlight On The Rio Grande
When It's Moonlight On The Rio Grande
Composer(s): Casper Nathan; Earl K. Smith
Oh, Mandy Lee, your smile is haunting me
and in my dreams it always seems
I'm going back to scenes that used to be
when we stood beside the dear old Rio Grande
Oh, Mandy Lee, there's joy for you and me
beside the stream where we could dream of golden days
the days that used to be when we strolled beside the dear old Rio Grande
When it's moonlight on the Rio Grande, and the stars shine on the gleaming sand
that's the time I'm coming back to see if the moonlight brings your love to me
When the moonbeams gleam up on the dew I will tell my love for you
I'll be coming back to claim your hand when it's moonlight on the Rio Grande

Temptation
Lust
Pop go mama

Temptation
All my fingers in the pool go splash we must
Everybody in this room
Everybody in this room has got an urge
What's yours, baby?
Mine is temptation, it reigns at a party where lovers splurge
Pop go mama when daddy gets a little 2 much
You know what I'm talkin' 'bout?
Purplelectricity whenever our bodies touch
Ooh baby, I love it when our bodies touch
Temptation
Working my body with a hot flash of animal lust
Temptation
All my fingers in the pool go splash we must
Temptation, temptation, temptation
Wait a minute now
Temptation
Working my body with a hot flash of animal lust
Temptation
All my fingers in the pool go splash we must
Temptation
Working my body, working my body, working my body
Temptation
I'm not talkin' about just ordinary temptation, people
I'm talking about the kind of temptation that'll make U do things
Oh, oh, temptation
Oh, darling, I can almost taste the wetness between your... temptation, temptation
I'm not talking about any ol' kind of temptation, people
I'm talkin' about, I'm talkin' about... sexual temptation
A lover
I need a lover, a lover, I need a...right now
U, I want U
I want U in the worst way
I want U
"Oh, silly man, that's not how it works
You have 2 want her 4 the right reasons"
I do!
"U don't, now die!"
No! No!
Let me go, let me go
I'm sorry
I'll be good
This time I promise
Love is more important than sex
Now I understand
I have 2 go now
I don't know when I'll return
Good-bye

When It's Moonlight In Tokio
When It's Moonlight In Tokio
Composer(s): Bobby Heath; Charles P. Shisler; Billy James
Dear old Japan I hear you calling me, though I am far away
I dream of you, too, though all the night and day
I have spent my time in many lands
I've seen beauty everywhere
but Tokyo, when bathed in moonlight's glow
is beauty sweet and rare
I long to go to dear old Tokyo, beneath those Eastern skies
its gardens fair and poppy perfumed air, bring dreams of paradise
Japanese lovers strolling though the town, lanterns swinging to and fro
each moonlight Jap lover's hearts are bright, in dear old Tokyo
When it's moonlight in Tokyo, mid the flowers
when the lanterns are burning low, Happy Hours!
every girlie in old Japan finds she's loving some Japanese man
sings while holding his little hand: "Hurry up, hurry up, I'm waiting"
Down through Japanese Lover's Lane they are strolling
each boy humming the same refrain
"My butterfly, I love but you, tell me you love me true"
when it's moonlight in Tokyo!

I should have known you were temptation

Composer(s): Harold Goodman; Sam C. Hart;
Joe Lyons; Curt Poulton; Dean Upson
Performer(s): Tex Ritter;
and various other artists
There's a lamp burning bright in a cabin
In a window it's shining for me
And I know that my mother is praying
For her boy she is longing to see
When it's lamplighting time in the valley
Then in dreams I go back to my home
I can see that old light in the window
It will guide me wherever I roam
In the lamplight each night I can see her
As she rocks in her chair to and fro
Though she prays that I'll come back to see her
Still I know that I never can go
When it's lamplighting time in the valley
Then in dreams I go back to my home
But I've sinned against my home and my loved ones
And now I must evermore roam
So she lights up the lamp and keeps waiting
For she knows not the crime I have done
But I'll change all my ways and I'll meet her
Up in Heaven when life's race is run
When it's lamplighting time in the valley
Then in dreams I go back to my home
I can see that old light in the window
It will guide me wherever I roam

Kick out the cat / turn back the clock
Ain’t life sweet baby look what I got
They took the tv honey

When you’re down on down / down on down
The bank’s foreclosing
And there’s a foot inside my door
The telephone’s not ringing
And I can’t take it anymore
I’m off the track / my last six pack
And I’m down on down / going down
Ain’t life a treat it ain’t so sweet
When you’re going down / down on down
Hit me shorty
My God the kids are screaming
And the help she ain’t been paid
My baby upped and left me
Well I hope she’s getting laid
Ain’t life a treat it ain’t so sweet
When you’re down on down / going down
I’m just bad luck looks like I got stuck
Down on down / down on down
I took it to the limit, now I’m really in it
Going down / right on down
Just like the I.R.S. oh, more is less
Going down / down on down

When it's darkness on the delta

Darkies singin' sweet and low**
Lord I'm lucky that you found me
Where the muddy Mississippi waters flow
Lounging on the levee
List'nin' to the nightingales way up above
Laughter on the levee, no one's heart is heavy
All God's chillun got someone to love
When it's darkness on the delta
Only heaven is in sight
When it's darkness on the delta
let me linger in the shelter of the night
