Guilty (Bonnie Raitt)
Guilty
Composer(s): Randy Newman
Performer(s): Bonnie Raitt;
and various other artists
Yes baby I been drinkin'
And I shouldn't come by I know
But I found myself in trouble
And I had nowhere else to go
Got some whisky from the barman
Got some cocaine from a friend
I just had to keep on movin'
Til I was back in your arms again
Guilty baby I'm guilty
And I'll be guilty the rest of my life
How come I never do what I'm supposed to do
How come nothin' that I try to do ever turns out right?
You know you know how it is with me baby
You know, I just can't stand myself
And it takes a whole lot of medicine
For me to pretend that I'm somebody else

That Same Old Feeling
That Same Old Feeling
Composer(s): John MacLeod - Tony Macaulay
Performer(s): Pickettywitch
and multiple other artists
I still get the same old feeling
Tearing at this heart of mine
Telling me that maybe
I'm not really over you
I still get the same old yearning
Turning my heart inside out
Look there can't be any doubt
I'm still not over you
The oak tree where you carved my name
A year ago now
Somehow it doesn't look the same
I think it knows now
The places we would go
Still play the songs we used to know
I still get the same old feeling
Tearing at this heart of mine
Telling me that maybe
I'm not really over you
I still get the same old yearning
Turning my heart inside out
Look there can't be any doubt
I'm still not over you
The grotto where we used to meet
Is overgrown now
We'd dreamed we'd live there too someday
Just start our own now
The letters you wrote me
Still bring back sad old memories
I still get the same old feeling
Tearing at this heart of mine
Telling me that maybe
I'm not really over you
I still get the same old yearning
Turning my heart inside out
Look there can't be any doubt
I'm still not over you
I still get the same old feeling
Tearing at this heart of mine
Telling me that maybe
I'm not really over you
I still get the same old yearning
Turning my heart inside out
Look there can't be any doubt
I'm still not over you

Performer(s): Barbra Streisand & Barry Gibb;
and various other artists
Barbra:
Shadows falling, baby , we stand alone
Out on the street anybody you meet got a heartache of their own
(It oughta be illegal)
Make it a crime to be lonely or sad
(It oughta be illegal)
You got a reason for livin'
You battle on with the love you're livin' on
You gotta be mine
We take it away
It's gotta be night and say
Just a matter of time
And we got nothing to be guilty of
Our love will climb any mountain near or far , we are
And we never let it end
We are devotion
And we got nothing to be sorry for
Our love is one in a million
Eyes can see that we got a highway to the sky
I don't wanna hear your goodbye
Oh!
Barry:
Aaah!
Pulse's racing , darling
How grand we are
Little by little we meet in the middle
There's danger in the dark
(It oughta be illegal)
Make it a crime to be out in the cold
(It oughta be illegal)
You got a reason for livin'
You battle on with the love you're buildin' on
Together
You gotta be mine
We take it away
It's gotta be night and day
Just a matter of time
And we got nothing to be guilty of
Our love will climb and mountain near or far , we are
And we never let it end
We are devotion
And we got nothing to be sorry for
Our love is one in a million
Eyes can see that we got a highway to the sky
Barbra:
I don't wanna hear your goodbye
Barry
Don't wanna hear your goodbye
Together
I don't wanna hear your
And we got nothing to be guilty of
Our love will climb and mountain near or far , we are
And we never let it end
We are devotion
And we got nothing to be sorry for
Our love is one in a million
Eyes can see that we got a highway to the sky
Don't wanna hear your goodbye
Don't wanna hear your
And we got nothing to be guilty of...

Performer(s): Louis Armstrong

Now the trees all sway to rhythm
And the children play to rhythm
All the birdies flap their wings in rhythm too
Oh, the breezes float to rhythm
And the rivers flow to rhythm
Ev'ry flower nods in rhythm all day through
Now the trees all sway to rhythm
And the children play to rhythm
All the birdies flap their wings in rhythm too
Oh, the breezes float to rhythm
And the rivers flow to rhythm
Ev'ry flower nods in rhythm all day through
Ev'ry dance and ev'ry melody
Acts according to this recipe
Ev'rybody walks to rhythm
Ev'rybody talks to rhythm
Seems like the world can do without that rhythm man

Mystery Achievement
Composer(s): Chrissie Hynde
Performer(s): The Pretenders
Mystery achievement
Don't breathe down my neck no
I got no trophies on display
I sign them away
I mean what the heck
All of your promises
Don't fill me with pride no
I just wanna get out on the floor
And do the cuban slide, slide, slide, slide
But every day, every nighttime I find
Mystery achievement
You're on my mind
And every day, every nighttime I feel
Mystery achievement you're so unreal
Mystery achievement
Where's my sandy beach? yeah
I had my dreams like everybody else
But they're out of reach
I said right out of reach
I could ignore you
Your demands are unending
I got no tears on my ice cream but you know me
I love pretending
But every day, every nighttime I find
Mystery achievement
You're on my mind
And every day, every nighttime I feel
Mystery achievement you're so unreal

That Ole Devil Called Love
That Ole Devil Called Love
Composer(s): Alan Roberts - Doris Fisher
Performer(s): Billie Holiday
and multiple other artists
Someone's whisp'rin' in my ear, I say
no, no, go away, but he don't hear
he follows me around, builds me up, tears me down
I try my best to shake him but he just hangs around
It's that ole devil called love again
Gets behind me and keeps giving me that shove again
Putting rain in my eyes, tears in my dreams
And rocks in my heart
It's that sly son of a gun again
He keeps telling me that I'm the lucky one again
But I still have that rain, still have those tears
And those rocks in my heart
Suppose I didn't stay, ran away, wouldn't play
That devil what a potion he would brew
He'd follow me around, build me up, tear me down
'til I'd be so bewildered, I wouldn't know what to do
Might as well give up the fight again
I know darn well he'll convince me that he's right again
When he sings that siren song, I just gotta tag along
With that ole devil called love
He'd follow me around, build me up, tear me down
'til I'd be so bewildered, I wouldn't know what to do
Might as well give up the fight again
I know darn well he'll convince me that he's right again
When he sings that siren song, I just gotta tag along
With that ole devil called love

Mysterious People
Mysterious People
Composer(s): Adolphson; Shaper
Performer(s): Val Doonican
Children are people who live in a land
Made of raindrops and puddles and pebbles and streams
Silently watching a twig as it sails
On a clear crystal pool to an island of dreams
There go a pair who have just built a city of mud
And it's real
They know that mud doesn't look very pretty
But oh, how it feels
This little boy greets the snow with a smile
That little girl has discovered an isle made out of pillows
One little fellow is friends with the wind in the willows
All of them children and all are mysterious people
I can remember when I was a boy
That my bed was a ship that I sailed through the night
And I remember the world as a place
That was eager and loving and shiny and bright
Where is the boy who was friends with the rainbow
And once rode upon
Where is that shy and mysterious person
Oh, where have I gone
I can remember I once said my prayers
But now I stand by while my children say theirs
Watching them kneeling
And I could cry that one day they'll forget
All that they're feeling
Oh, what a shame that our children should grow into people

Guide For The Married Man
Guide For The Married Man
Composer(s): John Williams; Leslie Bricusse
Performer(s): The Turtles
What we need in the world today
Is a guide for the married man
Some simple thing that in every way
Would provide for the harried man
Help him not to worry
Assist him to relax
Help him slow his heart rate
And spare him cardiacs
Such a guide would in many ways
Turn the tide for the married man
Enable husbands to fill their days
As only the married can
Every man would praise it
It's such a splendid plan
Someday soon we shall point with pride
To the guide for the married man
By the side of the married man
'Tis the lady who shares his life
You help the bride of the married man
By removing the husband's strife
Every wife who's truthful
Who treasures married bliss
Must keep her husband youthful
What better way than this?
Each and every device we know
Must be tried for the married man
But who can question the debt he'll owe
To the guide for the married man
List things universal
From Pittsburgh to Japan
Every man can be satisfied
By the guide for the married man

That Old Wheel
That Old Wheel
Composer(s): Jennifer Pierce
Performer(s): Johnny Cash & Hank Williams
That old wheel is gonna roll around once more
When it does it will even up the score
Don’t be weak: as they sew, they will reap
Turn the other cheek and don’t give in
That old wheel will roll around again
When love is gone and the one you thought would stay
Does you wrong, and you’re left alone to pay
The price is high
But somehow you’ll survive, don’t give in
That old wheel will roll around again
That old wheel is gonna roll around once more
When it does it will even up the score
Don’t be weak: as they sew, they will reap
Turn the other cheek and don’t give in
That old wheel will roll around again
There’ll be times, hard to control
And you’ll find you’ll hurt down in your soul
There’ll be those who’ll be glad to see you down
But don’t give in, that old wheel will roll around again
That old wheel is gonna roll around once more
When it does it will even up the score
Don’t be weak: as they sew, they will reap
Turn the other cheek and don’t give in
That old wheel will roll around again
That old wheel is gonna roll around once more
When it does it will even up the score
Don’t be weak: as they sew, they will reap
Turn the other cheek and don’t give in
That old wheel will roll around again
Roll around, around, again, again

My Young And Troubled Days
My Young And Troubled Days (aka Pretty Shitty Days)
French Title: Mes Emmerdes
Composer(s): Charles Aznavour
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
Those were the days, hungry days, needing more, having less
I learned the game, wanting fame, and success
I left behind, as I climbed, as I raced against time
My pals, my gals, my young and troubled days
Those early years, selfish years, full of me, full of schemes
A foolish mind, running blind, chasing dreams
The bridges burned, bridges crossed, were the way that I lost
My pals, my gals, my young and troubled days
Crazy times I shared with all my pals
Burning love I made with all my gals
And the troubled days I now recall
Never could have been really so heavy at all
We shared the rough, and the tough, and the bills never paid
The give-and-take, each mistake, that we made
We had the drive, to survive, feeling great and alive
My pals, my gals, my young and troubled days
I'm not ashamed of myself, did the best that I could
I've got my health, and my wealth, fate's been good
On the whole, life is bliss, but somehow I still miss
My pals, my gals, my young and troubled days
All those careless days of fooling 'round
Weighing up the balance I have found
That the troubled days I now recall
Never could have been really so heavy at all
Those were the days, crazy days, crazy ways, gay parade
Times we crashed, getting smashed, getting laid
We had the steam, had a ball, had a dream, had it all
My pals, my gals, in those troubled, yet, wonderful days

Guess Who I Saw Today
Guess Who I Saw Today
Composer(s): Elisse Boyd; Murray Grand
Performer(s): June Carroll;
and various other artists
You're so late getting home from the office
Did you miss your train?
Were you caught in the rain?
No, don't bother to explain
Can I fix you a quick martini?
As a matter of fact I'll have one with you
For to tell you the truth
I've had quite a day too
Guess who I saw today, my dear?
I went in town to shop around for something new
And thought I'd stop and have a bite
When I was through
I looked around for someplace near
And it occurred to me where I had parked the car
There was a most attractive French cafe and bar
It really wasn't very far
The waiter showed me to a dark, secluded corner
And as my eyes became accustomed to the gloom
I saw two people at the bar who were so in love
That even I could spot it clear across the room
Guess who I saw today, my dear?
I've never been so shocked before
I headed blindly for the door
They didn't see me passing through
Guess who I saw today?
Guess who I saw today?
Guess who I saw today?
I saw you!

That old gang of mine)

That sang Sweet Adeline.
Goodbye forever old fellows and gals
Goodbye forever old sweethearts and pals
God Bless them
Gee, but I'd give the world to see

My Young And Foolish Heart
My Young And Foolish Heart
Composer(s): Al Lewis; Charles Tobias; Ted Murray
Performer(s): Doris Day
and various other artists
My young and foolish heart
Makes me do the things I shouldn't
That nine times out of ten
I wouldn't do
My young and foolish heart
Never lets me use discretion
In my manner of expression
Every time I'm with you
So, if my arms enfold you
While I speak of love
Remember what I told you
Upon my soul, I can't control
The recklessness of...
My young and foolish heart
Can be choosey and selective
But you're the one objective
Of my young and foolish heart
So, if my arms enfold you
While I speak of love
Remember what I told you
Upon my soul, I can't control
The recklessness of...
My young and foolish heart
Can be choosey and selective
But you're the one objective
Of my young and foolish heart

Open your heart

That Old Feeling
That Old Feeling
Composer(s): Lew Brown - Sammy Fain
First performance by: Virginia Verrill - 1937
Covered by multiple other artists
I saw you last night and got that old feeling
When you came in sight, I got that old feeling
The moment that you danced by, I felt a thrill
And when you caught my eye, my heart stood still
Once again I seemed to feel that old yearning
Then I knew the spark of love was still burning
There'll be no new romance for me, it's foolish to start
'cause that old feeling is still in my heart
There'll be no new romance for me, it's foolish to start
'cause that old feeling is still in my heart

My Yiddishe Momme
My Yiddishe Momme
Spanish Title: Mi Querida Mamá
Composer(s): Lew Pollack; Jack Yellen
Performer(s): Sophie Tucker
and various other artists
My yiddishe momme
Of things I should be thankful for I've had a goodly share
And as I sit here in the comfort of my cosy chair
My fancy takes me to a humble eastside tenement
three flights up in the rear to where my childhood days were spent
It wasn't much like Paradise but 'mid the dirt and all
There sat the sweetest angel, one that I fondly call
My yiddishe momme I need her more then ever now
My yiddishe momme I'd like to kiss that wrinkled brow
I long to hold her hands once more as in days gone by
and ask her to forgive me for things I did that made her cry
How few were her pleasures, she never cared for fashion's styles
Her jewels and treasures she found them in her baby's smiles
oh I know that I owe what I am today
to that dear little lady so old and gray
to that wonderful yiddishe momme of mine
My yiddishe momme I need her more then ever now
My yiddishe momme I'd like to kiss that wrinkled brow
I long to hold her hands once more as in days gone by
and ask her to forgive me for things I did that made her cry
How few were her pleasures, she never cared for fashion's styles
Her jewels and treasures she found them in her baby's smiles
oh I know that I owe what I am today
to that dear little lady so old and gray
to that wonderful yiddishe momme of mine
