Winchester Cathedral (English Version)


Winchester Cathedral
Composer(s): Geoff Stephens
Performer(s): The New Vaudeville Band



Winchester Cathedral
You're bringing me down
You stood and you watched as
My baby left town

You could have done something
But you didn't try
You didn't do nothing
You let her walk by

Now everyone knows just how much I needed that gal
She wouldn't have gone far away
If only you'd started ringing your bell

Winchester Cathedral
You're bringing me down
You stood and you watched as
My baby left town

Oh-bo-de-o-do, oh-bo-de-o-do
Oh-bo-de-o-do de-do-duh

All You've Got Is Money


All You've Got Is Money
Composer(s): Mark Farner
Performer(s): Grand Funk Railroad



I can’t tell ya’ how to run your life
To get along with one another
Everybody knows what’s wrong and what’s right
But, you can’t trust your own brother, yeah

Everybody wants to be your friend
All the chicks, they call you honey
But don’t trust them ’till the very end
’cause all they’re after is your money

All they want is all your money
All they’re after is your money
... is your money
All they want is
All your money
All they want is ...

Don’t it scare ya’
When they take such good care of ya’
And all you’ve got is money?
Before they fool ya’
Please, let me school ya’
All you’ve got is money

Win Your Love (For Me)
Composer(s): Sam Cooke
Performer(s): Sam Cooke;

Wo oh oh oh little girl, how happy I would be
If some miracle could win your love for me

Chorus:
Wo oh oh oh little girl, how happy I would be
If some miracle could win your love for me
Win your love for me
Win your love for me
Wo oh oh oh wo win your love for me

Many's the day I've longed for you, to hold you in my arms
Many's the night I've cried for you, for your many charms
If you'd only come to me, my heart wouldn't be full of sorrow
But now all I can do is hope & pray that you'll come to me tomorrow

(chorus)

To me you are so beautiful, beautiful as a song
And whenever I look at you, my heart beat like a tom-tom
If you'd only come to me, this torch I wouldn't have to carry
And if everything goes right, to the church we will go to marry

(chorus)

Win A Few


Win A Few
Composer(s): Nico
Performer(s): Nico



They will give you what you need
They will run your life
They will get you where they want to
On the cross you'll die
Oh, what a game a fair frame
Consumed into a single flame

When you're blind
When you're kind
The future and the reasons
Will they change the seasons?

The law has made it very clear
Save your breath for the next try
They will try you with fanatic threats
To make you sigh
Oh, what a game a fair frame
Consumed into a single flame

When you're blind
When you're kind
The future and the reasons
Will they change the seasons?

They want your face for a magazine
They want my voice for their fears
I want the world's news to be
A different truth in different ears
What a game a fair frame
Consumed into a single flame

When you're blind
When you're kind
The future and the reasons
They won't change the seasons

All You'll Ever Get From Me

Got a sweet snap
And juggle a pack
It's very nice when it's going down
But if you got time
We don't need a dime
We'll save our money for a house in town

I'm talkin' about love (love), love (love)
All you'll ever get from me,
I'm talkin' about love (love), love (love)
All you'll ever got from me

I'm talkin' about love (love), love (love)
All you'll ever got from me
I'm talkin' about love (love), love (love)
All you'll ever got from me

Cadillac car
And blueberry jar
It doesn't matter what your fancy is
'Cause when you're alone
And nobody's home
There's only one thing that you really miss

I'm talkin' about love (love), love (love)
All you'll ever get from me,
I'm talkin' about love (love), love (love)
All you'll ever got from me

Yeah, I'm talkin' about love (love), love (love)
All you'll ever got from me
I'm talkin' about love (love), love (love)
All you'll ever got from me

Win


Win
Composer(s): David Bowie
Performer(s): David Bowie;
Jeffrey Gaines; Nicklebag; Vibrolux



[Hey, it ain't over]

Me, I hope that I'm crazy
I feel you driving and you're only the wheel
Slow down, let some-one love you
Oww, I've never touched you since I started to feel
If there's nothing to hide me,
then you've never seen me hanging naked and wired
Somebody lied,
but I say it's hip
to be alive

{chorus}
Now your smile is spreading thin
Seems you're trying not to lose
Since I'm not supposed to grin
All you've got to do is win

[Oww, that's all ya gotta do]
[Oww, it ain't over]

Me, I'm fresh on your pages
Secret thinker, sometimes listening aloud
Life lies dumb on its' heroes
Wear your wound with honor, make someone proud
Someone like you
should not be allowed
to start any fires

{chorus}

[Oww, that's all ya gotta do]
[Oww, it ain't over]

{chorus}

[Oww, thats all ya gotta do]
[Oww] Got to do is win [it ain't over]
Well, your smile is spreading thin
[Oww, seek and believe in you]
Since you're trying not to lose
[Oww, it ain't over, no, no]
Since I'm not supposed to grin
[Oww, that's all ya gotta do]
All you've got to do is win
[Oww, it ain't over, no]
[Oww, seek and believe in you]
All you've got to do is win
[Oww, it ain't over, no, no]
Oww, all you've got!
Is all you've got
[It ain't over]

All You Pretty Girls


All You Pretty Girls
Composer(s): Andy Partridge
Performer(s): XTC



Do something for me, boys
If I should die at sea, boys
Write a little note, boys
Set it off afloat, saying

Bless you, bless you, all of you pretty girls
Village and city girls by the quayside
Bless you, bless you, all of you pretty girls
Watching and waiting by the sea

Bless you, bless you, all of you pretty girls
Quiet or witty girls by the quayside
Bless you, bless you, all of you pretty girls
Watching and waiting by the sea

I think about your pale arms waving
When I see the caps upon the green
And the rocking roller-coaster ocean
Think about you every night when I'm fathoms asleep
And in my dreams
We are rocking in a similar motion

I think about the salt sea rolling
Down in pearly tears upon your cheeks
Just like the day the harbour pulled away
I think about your warm white sheets unfolding
The more I have to drink
The more that I can think to say

Willow Weep For Me


Willow Weep For Me Composer(s): Ann Ronell First release by: Ted Fio Rito & His Orch. - 1932 Covered by multiple other artists



Willow weep for me Willow weep for me Bend your branches green along the stream that runs to sea Listen to my plea Hear me willow and weep for me Gone my lovers dream Lovely summer dream Gone and left me here to weep my tears into the stream Sad as I can be Hear me willow and weep for me Whisper to the wind and say that love has sinned Left my heart a-breaking, and making a moan Murmur to the night to hide its starry light So none will see me sighing and crying all alone Weeping willow tree Weep in sympathy Bend your branches down along the ground and cover me When the shadows fall, hear me willow and weep for me Oh, Weeping willow tree Weep in sympathy Bend your branches down along the ground and cover me When the shadows fall, hear me willow and weep for me

All You Get From Love Is A Love Song


All You Get From Love Is A Love Song
Composer(s): Steve Eaton
Performer(s): The Carpenters



Like sailin' on a sailin' ship to nowhere
Love took over my heart like an ocean breeze
As season fly I knew that I was losing
Love was washed away with the driftin' tide

Oh it's a dirty old shame that all you get from love is a love song
It's gotcha layin' up nights waiting for the music to start
It's such a dirty old shame when you got to take the blame for a love song
Because the best love song is writing with a broken heart

Now the tears in my eyes are ever blindin'
The future that lies before me I cannot see
Although tomorrow I know the sun is rising
Lightin' up the world for everyone, but not for me

Willing To Forgive


Willing To Forgive
Composer(s): Babyface; Daryl Simmons
Performer(s): Aretha Franklin; Pam Hall



I read her letters
And I saw her picture
And I smelled her cheap perfume, hmm
It must have come from you

How could you touch her
Lay down beside her
Well, there just ain't no excuse
You shouldn't have been so loose

I saw the telephone bill
You must be out of your mind
If you think you can smooth it over
Then you're wasting your time

Well, I'm willing to forgive you but I can't forget
'Cause you really, really, really, really hurt me this time
And I guess I can go on although I must admit
I've been busy, busy, busy, busy thinkin' that I'm gonna mess around some time

You're such a liar
You took her and her children
Out for the afternoon
While I was sittin' waitin' on you

How could you do it
You should've been here with me
You just couldn't do it
You had to be in the streets, uh

Well, I heard through the grapevine
You've been messin' around
When you thought you were gettin' over
That's when my baby I found, oh...
Well, I'm willing to forgive you but I can't forget
'Cause you really, really, really, really hurt me this time (You really hurt me)
And I guess I can go on although I must admit
I've been busy, busy, busy, busy thinkin' that I'm gonna mess around some time

I gave my heart, gave my time
Gave my soul 'cause love was blind
I can't explain this poor excuse
Of a man of a boy who was born to lose

I paid the rent, washed your clothes
Cooked your food and I only God knows
Only God knows why I stay with you
I guess (Guess I) I'm in love

Well, I'm willing to forgive you but I can't forget
(Oh, baby, I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love)
'Cause you really, really, really, really hurt me this time
(Ooh, you really hurt me this time, baby)
And I guess I can go on although I must admit (Although I must admit)
I've been busy, busy, busy, busy thinkin' that I'm gonna mess around some time
(I'm gonna mess around some time)

I gave my heart, gave my time
Gave my soul 'cause love was blind
I can't explain this poor excuse
Of a man of a boy who was born to lose

I paid the rent, I washed your clothes
Cooked your food and I only God knows
Only God knows why I stay with you
I guess (Guess I) I'm in love

Well, I'm willing to forgive you but I can't forget
'Cause you really, really, really, really hurt me this time
(Ooh, oh, baby, you hurt me, you hurt me)
And I guess I can go on although I must admit
I've been busy, busy, busy, busy thinkin' that I'm gonna mess around some time

I'm willing to forgive you but I can't forget
(I'm willin', I'm willin' and able)
'Cause you really, really, really, really hurt me this time

I can't sleep through the night

A great big hug for lunch

Gimme 'n itty bitty, I'm a-willing and a-ready

All We Ever Wanted Was Everything


All We Ever Wanted Was Everything
Composer(s): Daniel Ash - Kevin Haskins - David J - Peter Murphy
First release by: Bauhaus - 1982
Covered by multiple other artists



All we ever wanted was everything
All we ever got was cold
Get up, eat jelly
Sandwich bars, and barbed wire
Squash every week into a day

The sound of drums is calling
The sound of the drum has called
Flash of youth shoot out of darkness
Factorytown

Oh to be the cream
(repeat)
