Guess I Must Have Been In Love With Myself
Guess I Must Have Been In Love With Myself
Composer(s): Pete Shelley
Performer(s): Pete Shelley
Right from the start
I played my part
In this show
What if today
Was yesterday?
Who would know?
Take your time don't worry
There's no need to hurry
Anything can happen given time
Out of the blue
It came to me
What to do
Funny to say
It was that way
Now it's you
Take your time don't worry
There's no need to hurry
Everything can happen given time
You look at me while I'm looking at you
There's nothing in this world that we two couldn't do
I speak of love in a passionate way
Love is emotion what more can I say?
The rate of change is a sign of the times
I have no need to read between the lines
I had no time for anyone else
Guess I must have been in love with myself
Everything's changed
Nothing's the same
As before
Thinking of you
Things that you do
Make me so sure
At the moment I feel like walking through the pouring rain
Once I get my head together nothing will ever be quite the same
You look at me while I'm looking at you
There's nothing in this world that we two couldn't do
I speak of love in a passionate way
Love is emotion what more can I say?
The rate of change is a sign of the times
I have no need to read between the lines
I had no time for anyone else
Guess I must have been in love with myself
Guess I must have been in love with myself
Guess I must have been in love with myself

Honey listen to that dreamy tune they're playin'
Won't you tell me how on earth you keep from swayin'?
Umm! Umm!
Oh, that Mendelssohn Spring Song tune
If you ever loved me show me now or never, Lord
I wish they'd play that music on forever
Umm! Umm!
Oh, that Mendelssohn tune
My honey
Don't you stand there, honey, can't you hear me sighin'?
Is you goin' to wait until I'm almost dyin'?
Umm! Umm!
Oh, that Mendelssohn Spring Song tune
Get yourself
acquainted with some real live wooin'
Make some funny
noises like there's something doin'
Umm! Umm!
Oh, that Mendelssohn tune
My honey
Love me to that ever lovin' Spring song melody
Please me, honey, squeeze me to that Mendelssohn strain
Kiss me like you would your mother
One good kiss deserves another
That's the only music that was ever meant for me
That tantalizin,' hypnotizin,' mesmerin' Mendelssohn tune

My World Is Empty Without You
My World Is Empty Without You
Composer(s): Lamont Dozier; Brian Holland; Eddie Holland
Originally performed by: The Supremes
Covered by various other artists
My world is empty without you, babe
My world is empty without you, babe
And as I roam my way alone
I find it hard for me to carry on
I need your strength, I need your tender touch
I need the love, my dear, I miss so much
My world is empty without you, babe
My world is empty without you, baby
You've given me a true love
And every day I thank you, love
For the feeling that's so new
So exciting so inviting
Baby, baby, I hear a symphony
A tender melody
Pushing me closer and closer to your heart
Then suddenly
Your lips are touching mine
A feeling so divine
Til I leave my past behind
My world is empty without you, babe
My world is empty without you, babe
From this cold world I try to hide my face
But from this loneliness there ain't no hiding place
Inside this cold and empty house I dwell
In darkness, in memory I know so well
My world is empty without you, babe
My world is empty without you, babe
Without you babe
Without you babe...

Guerre
Guerre
Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday
Au nom de la stupidité
Il faut haïr son prochain
Quand la colombe est blessée
La voilà qui revient
Guerre
C'est la guerre
Pour n'importe quoi la guerre
Guerre
C'est la guerre
Et même les dieux font la guerre
Et mourir pour une idée
Sans savoir si on s'est trompé
La guerre n'est qu'une putain
Pour qui l'amour n'est plus rien
Guerre
C'est la guerre
C'est n'importe quand la guerre
Guerre
C'est la guerre
C'est n'importe quoi la guerre
Je déclare une guerre
Sans merci à la guerre
Je m'engage pour me battre
Et faire la guerre contre la guerre
Guerre guerre
Guerre guerre
Guerre guerre
Je ferai la guerre à la guerre
Guerre guerre
Guerre guerre
Guerre guerre
Guerre guerre
Je ferai la guerre à la guerre

Oh! C'est la guerre

That Means A Lot
That Means A Lot
Composer(s): John Lennon - Paul McCartney
Performer(s): The Beatles
and multiple other artists
A friend says that your love
Won't mean a lot
And you know that your love
Is all you've got
At times things are so fine
And at times they're not
But when she says she loves you
That means a lot
A friend says that a love
Is never true
And you know that this
Don't apply on you
A touch can mean so much
When it's all you've got
When she says she loves you
That means a lot
Love can be deep inside
Love can be suicide
Can't you see you can't hide
What you feel when it's real
A friend says that your love
Won't mean a lot
And you know that your love
Is all you've got
A touch can mean so much
When it's all you've got
But when she says she loves you
That means a lot
Can't you see, yeah
Can't you see, yeah
Can't you see, yeah
Can't you see, yeah
Can't you see, yeah
Can't you see, yeah
Can't you see, yeah

My Word! You Do Look Queer
My Word! You Do Look Queer
Composer(s): Bob Weston; Bert Lee
Performer(s): Stanley Holloway
I've been very poorly but now I feel prime
I've been out today for the very first time
I felt like a lad as I walked down the road
Then I met Old Jones and he said, 'Well I'm blowed!'
My word you do look queer!
My word you do look queer!
Oh, dear! You look dreadful: you've had a near shave
You look like a man with one foot in the grave'
I said, 'Bosh! l'm better; it's true I've been ill'
He said, 'I'm delighted you're better, but still
I wish you'd a thousand for me in your will
My word, you do look queer!'
That didn't improve me, it quite put me back
Still, I walked farther on, and I met Cousin jack
He looked at me hard and he murmured, 'Gee whiz!
It's like him! It can't be! It isn't! It is!
By gosh! Who'd have thought it? Well, well, I declare!
I'd never have known you except for your hair
My word you do look queer!
My word you do look queer!
Your cheeks are all sunk and your colour's all gone
Your neck's very scraggy, still you're getting on
How old are you now? About fifty, that's true
Your father died that age, your mother did too
Well, the black clothes I wore then'll come in for you
My word! You do look queer!'
That really upset me; I felt quite cast down
But I tried to buck up, and then up came old Brown
He stared at me hard, then he solemnly said
'You shouldn't be out, you should be home in bed
I heard you were bad, well I heard you were gone
You look like a corpse with an overcoat on
'My word you do look queer!
My word you do look queer!
You'd best have a brandy before you drop dead'
So, pale as a sheet, I crawled in the'King's Head'
The barmaid sobbed,'Oh you poor fellow,' and then
She said, 'On the slate you owe just one pound ten
You'd better pay up, we shan't see you again
My word you do look queer!'
My knees started knocking, I did feel so sad
Then Brown said, 'Don't die in a pub, it looks bad'
He said, 'Come with me, I'll show you what to do
Now I've got a friend who'll be useful to you'
He led me to Black's Undertaking Depot
And Black, with some crepe round his hat said, 'Hello
'My word you do look queer!
My word you do look queer!
Now we'll fix you up for a trifling amount
Now what do you say to a bit on account?'
I said, 'I'm not dying
'He said,'Don't say that!
My business of late has been terribly flat
But I'm telling my wife she can have that new hat!
My word, you do look queer!'
I crawled in the street and I murmured, 'I'm done'
Then up came Old Jenkins and shouted, 'By gum!'
'My word you do look well!
My word you do look well!
You're looking fine and in the pink!'
I shouted, 'Am I?... Come and have a drink!
You've put new life in me, I'm sounder than a bell
By gad! There's life in the old dog yet
My word I do feel well!'

That Makes It Tough
That Makes It Tough
Composer(s): Buddy Holly
Performer(s): Buddy Holly; Lazy Cowgirls
Time goes by, I'll still remember you
That makes it tough- Oh so tough
When you tell me you don't love me
That makes it tough- Oh so tough- oh oh oh
When you say you don't care no more
Memories will follow me forever
Though I know my dreams will not come true
All those precious things we shared together
Time goes by I'll still remember you
And that makes it tough- Oh so tough
When you tell me you don't love me
That makes it tough- Oh so tough- oh oh oh
When you say you don't care no more

Through bright bayou night
the dreamboats drifting slow
Oh, dreaming, we'll go dreaming
Hush, now, baby don't you cry

That lucky fellow, who gets you
Who knows you love him, and lets you
Oh, how he'll laugh when you play the clown
Oh, how he'll mope while he works in town
But with each long day behind him
The failing sunlight will find him
Back in your arms, where he wants to be
How I'd want those arms, if I were he
That lucky lady who gets you
Who knows you love her, and lets you
Oh, how she'll laugh when you play the clown
Oh, how she'll mope while he works in town
But with each long day behind her
The failing sunlight will find her
Back in your arms, where she wants to be
How I'd want those arms, if I were she

Child Of Peace
Child Of Peace
Composer(s): Bob Farrell
Performer(s): Sandi Patti
On a night of promise long ago
When a star announced the light of hope
To a world that knew no peace before
The holy child of peace was born
But he stirred their longings deep within
For his kingdom knew no end
From a place eternal high above
The wondrous child of peace had come
Child of comfort, child of light
Hope that drowns away the night
Touch our lives from heaven above
Oh child of peace, we need your love
In a world where peace eludes us still
Where the heart exerts its will
At a time when words are not enough
Oh child of peace we need your love
Oh man of peace we need your love
God who only knows our need
Come to us, oh child of peace

My Woman, My Woman, My Wife
My Woman, My Woman, My Wife
Composer(s): Marty Robbins
Originally performed by: Marty Robbins
Covered by various other artists
Hands that are strong, but wrinkled
Doin' work that never gets done
Hair that's lost some of the beauty
By too many hours in the sun
Eyes that show some disappointment
And there's been quite a lot in her life
She's the foundation I lean on
My woman, my woman, my wife
Everyday has been uphill
Oh, we've climbed, but we can't reach the top
I'm weak and I'm easily discouraged
She just smiles when I want to stop
Lips that are weary but tender
With love that strengthens my life
A Saint in a dress made of gingham
My woman, my woman, my wife
Two little babies were born in the Spring
But died when the Winter was new
I lost control of my mind and my soul
But my woman's faith carried us through
When she reaches that river
Lord, you know what she's worth
Give her that mansion up yonder
'Cause she's been through hell here on Earth
Lord, give her my share of Heaven
If I've earned any here in this life
'Cause, God, I believe she deserves it
My woman, my woman, my wife

Composer(s): Gerda Beilenson; Harpo Marx
Performer(s): Mario Lanza;
and various other artists
Guardian angels around my bed
Joining me in my prayers
They hush the shadows
When they dance above
They shew away the bears
Guardian angels to comfort me
If I wake in the night
They gather all of my dreams
Their halo's are my light
They dry my tears
If I should weep
They tuck me
They rouse me from my sleep
Guardian angels around my head
Standing by till I rise
There's one with shinning wings
That holds my hand
And shows me paradise
Guardian angels to comfort me
If I wake in the night
They gather all of my dreams
Their halo's are my light
They dry my tears
If I should weep
They tuck me
They rouse me from my sleep
Guardian angels around my head
Standing by till I rise
There's one with shinning wings
That holds my hand
And shows me paradise

That Lovely Weekend
That Lovely Weekend
Composer(s): Moira Heath - Ted Heath
Performer(s): Vera Lynn
and multiple other artists
I haven’t said “Thanks” for that lovely weekend
Those two days in heaven you helped me to spend
The thrill of your kiss as you stepped off the train
The smile in your eyes was like sun after rain
To mark the occasion we went out to dine
Remember the laughter, the music, the wine
That drive in the taxi when midnight had flown
And breakfast next morning just we two alone
You had to go, the time was so short
We both had so much to say
Your kit to be packed, the train to be caught
Sorry I cried but I just felt that way
And now you have gone dear this letter I pen
My heart travels with you till we meet again
Keep smiling, my darling, and someday we’ll spend
A lifetime as sweet, a lifetime as sweet as
That lovely weekend
I haven’t said “Thanks” for that lovely weekend
Those two days in heaven you helped me to spend
And the thrill of your kiss as you stepped off the train
The smile in your eyes was like sun after rain
And to mark the occasion we went out to dine
Do you remember the laughter, how we laughed, and the music
Harry Roy’s Band, and,and the wine, no champagne, just er just wine
Then we waited a long time for a taxi, but we got one at last
And then breakfast the next morning, just we two alone
And then I had to go, and time was so short
And we both had so much to say, and you packed my kit
And the train had to be caught, and what a train
And then I cried
And now that you’ve gone dear, this letter I pen
My heart travels with you until we meet again
So keep smiling my darling and someday we’ll spend
A lifetime as sweet as that lovely weekend

My Window Faces The South
Composer(s): Jay Livingston; Mitchell Parish; Abner Silver
Performer(s): Willie Nelson
My window faces the south I'm almost halfway to heaven
Snow is falling
but still I can't see fields of cotton calling to me
My window faces the south
and though I am far from the Swanee
I'm never frownin' or down in the mouth
my window faces the south
My window faces the south...
My window faces the south
