Guilty (UB40)


Guilty
Composer(s): Tiger
Performer(s): UB40



Well hello baby
Come sit down, make your self comfortable
Tell me somthing, how long have we known each other?
About ten months huh?
Say what`s that on your finger? An engagement ring?
So you and john are getting engaged huh ?
You know he`s a mighty lucky guy
Should be proud to have a woman like you
Listen, I`ve got something to tell you
Don`t think I`m getting fresh or anything like that
But this things been bugging me for a long time you know
And it's getting heavier each and every day
And I`ve just gotta get it off my chest
See I`ve never seen anyone like you
I`ve never known anyone like you
Let me take me back to my childhood a while
See we had a medium size family you know we were`nt rich
But my mother tried to bring us us the best she could
Did`nt commit no crime nor nothing
But I had to reach man hood to commit this crime
According to the code of love, if there is such a code
See love is a thing well, you know?
It`s a bit like quicksand
The more you wriggle the deeper you sink
And when it hit`s you you`ve just got to fall
That's why I do believe that I am Guilty
Guilty of loving you

Ça A Raté


Ça A Raté Composer(s): Françoise Hardy - Roger Samyn Performer(s): Françoise Hardy



Un jour que dans la rue seule je me promenais
Un garçon inconnu soudain m'a accostée
J'ai fait celle qui n'entendait rien, ne voyait rien
Et l'ignorait mais ça a raté

Le lendemain par hasard comme je me promenais
Je l'ai vu sans retard venir me relancer
Pour le décourager je lui ai parlé de moi sans arrêt
Mais ça a raté

Il m'a dit "que fait's vous ce soir?"
Et il a si bien insisté
Que jusqu'à minuit et plus tard
Ensemble oui nous avons twisté

Il m'a dit "que fait's vous ce soir?"
Et il a si bien insisté
Que jusqu'à minuit et plus tard
Ensemble oui nous avons twisté

On se voit chaque jour et dois je l'avouer
Je suis prise à mon tour car je crois bien l'aimer
Moi qui voulais à tout prix l'éviter
Je suis bien heureuse que ça ai raté

Moi qui voulais à tout prix l'éviter
Je suis bien heureuse que ça ai raté

Moi qui voulais à tout prix l'éviter
Je suis bien heureuse que ça ai raté

Guilty (Pearls)


Guilty
Composer(s): R. Roker; G. Shury
Performer(s): Pearls



As a lover you run for cover whenever trouble appears
Kiss and run again, you kiss and run again
Always ending in tears
You’ve been floating around like a butterfly
But I’m going to give you doubt

‘Cause you’ve been found and convicted of a serious crime
Caught in possession of this heart of mine
And I’m locking you away for a long, long time
You’re guilty, guilty, you’re guilty of love
I’m the judge and the jury and defendant, too
And I’m just about to throw the book at you
You’re guilty, guilty, can’t get away
‘Cause you’re guilty, guilty, now hear me saying
G-u-i-l-t-y

Now I’m on the case, keeping you in place
Ain’t so easy to do
Don’t step out of line, or you’re gonna find
I’ll come a-gunning for you
Just like an agent from the FBI, I’m gonna get my man

‘Cause you’ve been found and convicted of a serious crime
Caught in possession of this heart of mine
And I’m locking you away for a long, long time
You’re guilty, guilty, you’re guilty of love
I’m the judge and the jury and defendant, too
And I’m just about to throw the book at you
You’re guilty, guilty, can’t get away
‘Cause you’re guilty, guilty, now hear me saying
G-u-i-l-t-y

found and convicted of a serious crime
Caught in possession of this heart of mine
And I’m locking you away for a long, long time
You’re guilty, guilty, you’re guilty of love
I’m the judge and the jury and defendant, too
And I’m just about to throw the book at you
You’re guilty, guilty, can’t get away
‘Cause you’re guilty, guilty, now hear me saying
G-u-i-l-t-y

I said G-u-i-l-t-y

That Song About The Midway


That Song About The Midway
Composer(s): Joni Mitchell
First release by: Joni Mitchell - 1969
Covered by multiple other artists



I met you on a midway at a fair last year
And you stood out like a ruby in a black man's ear
You were playing on the horses, you were playing on the guitar strings
You were playing like a devil wearing wings, wearing wings
You looked so grand wearing wings
Do you tape them to your shoulders just to sing
Can you fly
I heard you can! Can you fly
Like an eagle doin' your hunting from the sky

I followed with the sideshows to another town
And I found you in a trailer on the camping grounds
You were betting on some lover, you were shaking up the dice
And I thought I saw you cheating once or twice, once or twice

I heard your bid once or twice
Were you wondering was the gamble worth the price
Pack it in
I heard you did! Pack it in
Was it hard to fold a hand you knew could win

So lately you've been hiding, it was somewhere in the news
And I'm still at these races with my ticket stubs and my blues
And a voice calls out the numbers, and it sometimes mentions mine
And I feel like I've been working overtime, overtime

I've lost my fire overtime
Always playin' one more hand for one more dime
Slowin' down
I'm gettin' tired! Slowin' down
And I envy you the valley that you've found
'Cause I'm midway down the midway
Slowin' down, down, down, down

Come All Ye Fair And Tender Ladies


Come All Ye Fair And Tender Ladies
Composer(s): A.P. Carter
Performer(s): The Carter Family - 1932
and multiple other artists



Come all ye fair and tender ladies
Take warning how you court young men
They're like a bright star on a cloudy morning
They will first appear and then they're gone

They'll tell to you some loving story
To make you think that they love you true
Straightway they'll go and court some other
Oh that's the love that they have for you

Do you remember our days of courting
When your head lay upon my breast
You could make me believe with the falling of your arm
That the sun rose in the West

I wish I were some little sparrow
And I had wings and I could fly
I would fly away to my false true lover
And while he'll talk I would sit and cry

But I am not some little sparrow
I have no wings nor can I fly
So I'll sit down here in grief and sorrow
And try to pass my troubles by

I wish I had known before I courted
That love had been so hard to gain
I'd of locked my heart in a box of golden
And fastened it down with a silver chain

Young men never cast your eye on beauty
For beauty is a thing that will decay
For the prettiest flowers that grow in the garden
How soon they'll wither, will wither and fade away

Guilty (Margaret Whiting)


Guilty
Composer(s): Richard Whiting; Harry Akst; Donald Kahn
Performer(s): Margaret Whiting;
and various other artists



Is it a sin? Is it a crime?
Loving you dear like I do
If it's a crime then I'm guilty
Guilty of loving you

Maybe I'm wrong dreaming of you
Dreaming the lonely night through
If it's a crime then I'm guilty
Guilty of dreaming of you

What can I do? What can I say
After I've taken the blame?
You say you're through, you'll go your way
But I'll always feel just the same

Maybe I'm right, maybe I'm wrong
Loving you dear like I do
If it's a crime, then I'm guilty
Guilty of loving you

What can I do? And what can I say
After I've taken the blame?
You say you're through, you'll go your way.
But I'll always feel just the same

Maybe I'm right, maybe I'm wrong
Loving you dear like I do
If it's a crime, then I'm guilty
Guilty of loving you

That Silver Haired Daddy Of Mine


That Silver Haired Daddy Of Mine
Composer(s): Gene Autry - Jimmy Long
Performer(s): Gene Autry
and multiple other artists



In a vine covered shack in the mountains
Bravely fighting the battle of time
There's a dear one who's weathered life's sorrow
It's that silver haired daddy of mine

If I could recall all the heartaches
Dear old Daddy, I've caused you to bear
If I could erase those lines from your face
And bring back the gold to your hair

If God would but grant me the power
Just to turn back the pages of time
I'd give all I own if I could but atone
To that silver haired daddy of mine

I know it's too late, dear old Daddy
To repay for the heartaches and cares
But dear Mother is waiting in Heaven
Just to comfort and solace you there

If I could recall all the heartaches
Dear old Daddy, I've caused you to bear
If I could erase those lines from your face
And bring back the gold to your hair

If God would but grant me the power
Just to turn back the pages of time
I'd give all I own if I could but atone
To that silver haired daddy of mine

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...

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

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


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
