Reconsider Me
Reconsider Me
Composer(s): Margaret Lewis; Mira Smith
Performer(s): Johnny Adams
Hello baby, yes it's really me
After the wrong I've done
Guess you're surprised to see me here at your door
Like a sparrow with a broken wing
Who's come back to beg you reconsider me
Oh, reconsider me
I can't make it without your love, you see
Just let me and I'll love you eternally
Oh baby, reconsider me
I learned the truth about the so-called good life
It was just a candle too short to burn the night
Now the darkness in my heart
I bring to you in plea
Oh light my way again reconsider me
Oh reconsider me
I can[t make it without your love, you see
So just let me and I'll love you eternally
Oh baby reconsider me

and multiple other artists
Well, you wake up in the morning, you hear the work bell ring
And they march you to the table to see the same old thing
Ain't no food upon the table, and no pork up in the pan
But you better not complain, boy, you get in trouble with the man
Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me
Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me
Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me
Let the Midnight Special shine a ever-loving light on me
Yonder come miss Rosie, how in the world did you know?
By the way she wears her apron, and the clothes she wore
Umbrella on her shoulder, piece of paper in her hand
She come to see the governor, she wants to free her man
Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me
Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me
Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me
Let the Midnight Special shine a ever-loving light on me
If you're ever in Houston, well, you better do the right
You better not gamble, there, you better not fight, at all
Or the sheriff will grab you and the boys will bring you down
The next thing you know, boy, Oh! You're prison bound
Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me
Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me
Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me
Let the Midnight Special shine a ever-loving light on me
Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me
Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me
Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me
Let the Midnight Special shine a ever-loving light on me

Chim chiminey
Chim chiminey
Chim chim cher-ee!
A sweep is as lucky
As lucky can be
Chim chiminey
Chim chiminey
Chim chim cher-oo!
Good luck will rub off when
I shakes 'ands with you
Or blow me a kiss
And that's lucky too
Now as the ladder of life
'As been strung
You may think a sweep's
On the bottommost rung
Though I spends me time
In the ashes and smoke
In this 'ole wide world
There's no 'appier bloke
Chim chiminey
Chim chiminey
Chim chim cher-ee!
A sweep is as lucky
As lucky can be
Chim chiminey
Chim chiminey
Chim chim cher-oo!
Good luck will rub off when
I shakes 'ands with you
(All:)
Chim chiminey
Chim chiminey
Chim chim cher-ee!
A sweep is as lucky
As lucky can be
Chim chiminey
Chim chiminey
Chim chim cher-oo!
Good luck will rub off when
I shakes 'ands with you
(Bert:)
I choose me bristles with pride
Yes, I do
A broom for the shaft
And a broom for the flume
Up where the smoke is
All billered and curled
'Tween pavement and stars
Is the chimney sweep world
When the's 'ardly no day
Nor 'ardly no night
There's things 'alf in shadow
And 'alf way in light
On the roof tops of London
Coo, what a sight!
*Next stanza is not on the soundtrack*
Though I'm covered with soot
From me 'ead to me toes
A sweep knows 'e's welcome
Wherever 'e goes
(Mary:)
Chim chiminey
Chim chiminey
Chim chim cher-ee!
When you're with a sweep
You're in glad company
(Bert:)
No where is there
A more 'appier crew
(Both:)
Than them wot sings
"Chim chim cher-ee
Chim cher-oo!"
On the chim chiminey
Chim chim cher-ee
Chim cher-oo!

Composer(s): Lowell Fulson
Performer(s): Lowell Fulson;
and various other artists
So long, oh how I hate to see you go
So long, oh how I hate to see you go
And the way that I will miss you
I guess you will never know
We've been together so long, to have to separate this way
We've been together so long, to have to separate this way
I'm gonna let you go ahead on baby
Pray that you'll come back home some day
You said you once had loved me, but now I guess you have changed your mind
You said you once had loved me, but now I guess you have changed your mind
Why don't you reconsider baby
Give yourself just a little more time

The Midnight Oil
The Midnight Oil
Composer(s): Joseph Allen
Performer(s): Barbara Mandrell; Gretchen Wilson
That call was from the office and I guess
I'll have to burn the midnight oil again
And hon' you know how much the boss
Depends on me to lend a helping hand
I watch him in the mirror as I lie
And tell him I don't know how late I'll be
While I'm puttin' on my make-up
I'm puttin' on the one that really loves me
The girls all got together and they called
To see if I could have some fun tonight
But you know me, the only thing I do
Is go to work and watch TV
And I watch him in the mirror as I lie
And tell him I don't know how late I'll be
While I'm puttin' on my make-up
I'm puttin' on the one that really loves me
And tonight I'll cheat again
And tomorrow I'll be sorry
And I'll feel kind o' dirty
'Cause I'll have the midnight oil all over me
God knows his dream would shatter
If he knew the devil had me and won't set me free
While I'm puttin' on my make-up
I'm puttin' on the one that really loves me
While I'm puttin' on my make-up
I'm puttin' on the one that really loves me

Une brosse pour ceci et une pour le tuyau
J'aime bien quand je monte là-haut
Parce que c'est entre les pavés et les nuages que l'on domine ce monde
Quand on est à mi-chemin du jour et de la nuit
À l'heure où chaque chose baigne dans la demi-clarté
Sur les hauts toits de Londres, oh, quelle beauté !

Vienes a buscar mi perdón, ya lo tienes
Eso debe ser nos queremos los dos
Ahora que comprendo con mi amor voy a pagarte
todo mi cariño con mis besos a entregarte

Vuelves a mi lado vuelves a ser mía
juntos ya los dos para saborear nuestro gran amor
Vuelves a mi lado vuelves a ser mía

Die Ogen Van Jou
Die Ogen Van Jou
((Adapted from: Devoted To You (The Everly Brothers) - 1958))
Composer(s): Boudleaux Bryant - Hugo Matthysen
Performer(s): De Nieuwe Snaar - 1989
't mooiste van je mooie gezicht
trof me als een bliksemschicht
ja, ik ben er voor gezwicht
voor die ogen van jou
grootvaders vergeten hun jicht
de soldaat verwaarloost zijn plicht
als je ze plots op hen richt
die ogen van jou
ik heb al heel wat ogen gezien
sterren en diamanten
soms gaf ik zelfs acht of negen op tien
maar die van jou scoren 't maximum want
in het donker geven ze licht
zelfs al knijp ze zedig dicht
'k denk dat ik een fanclub sticht
voor die ogen van jou

If there is any other way
I will find it
I will not be losing you
If I can help it

And I can recommend my love

You are a big part of my life
And I won't make it

No time for crying
I've got work to do
I've got to wrap you in my love
I've got to wrap you in my love
And I can recommend my love

I've got no time to place the blame
You wanted to taste forbidden fruit
I could run you off in haste
But I'd repent at my leasure for you
Oooh oooh
I've got to wrap you in my love
I want it the way it was
All points to lead back home
You know I caught you fair and square
But I want you right back here
Where I can
Wrap you in my love
Love you darling
Oooh oooh
Wrap you in my love
I've got to recommend my love

The Middle Of The Night Is My Cryin' Time
The Middle Of The Night Is My Cryin' Time
Composer(s): Sheb Wooley
Performer(s): Dean Martin
When you said goodbye I made up a lie
Told ev'ryone that I knew
Our love was not real, so I play the field
And that I never loved you
I put up a front and walk down the street
Forcin' a smile all the time
And nobody knows I'm missin' you so
It's drivin' me out of my mind
The middle of the night is when I cry
The middle of the day is when I lie
Tell everyone that I'm doin' fine
But the middle of the night is my cryin' time
All of our friends ask where I've been
They haven't seen me around
I just give a wink and I'm hopin' they'll think
I've been out paintin' the town
Sometimes it seems, alone in my dreams
I'm holdin' you once again
When I awake, it's so hard to take
And that's when the teardrops begin
Oh, the middle of the night is my cryin' time
The middle of the day is my lyin' time
I tell ev'ryone that I'm doin' fine
But the middle of the night is my cryin' time
I put up a front and walk down the street
Forcin' a smile all the time
And nobody knows that I'm missin' you so
It's drivin' me out of my mind
The middle of the night is my cryin' time
The middle of the day is my lyin' time
I tell ev'ryone that I'm doin' fine
But the middle of the night is my cryin' time
(The middle of the night is his cryin' time)
The middle of the night is my cryin' time
The middle of the night is my cryin' time
The middle...

Recollection
Recollection
Composer(s): Rick Wakeman
Performer(s): Rick Wakeman
Memories of a life on earth go flashing past
Of home, of Grauben, friends of whom he's seen his last
Contemplating what his life's been worth
While trapped beneath the earth
An embryo at birth
Pain and fear destroy the beauty I have seen
Of caverns, where no other man has been
Silurian epoch hosts me as my grave
My final blow I wave
A life too late to save
Crystals of opaque quartz, studded limpid tears
Forming magic chandeliers, lighting blistered galleries

The Midas Touch
Composer(s): Jule Styne - Betty Comden - Adolph Green
Performer(s): Bernie West
and multiple other artists
Aaaahhhhhhh!
First you're hot and then you're cold
Then you're shy and then you're bold
But I'm always sensitive to you
First you fill my heart with pain
Then your kiss is novocaine
That's no way sensitive to you
You don't see anything, but it hurts
Though you can't see the pain
Ooh-oh, how it hurts
Midas touch
The mighty, mighty, mighty, mighty Midas Touch
The Midas touch
The mighty, mighty, mighty, mighty Midas Touch
Midas touch
The mighty, mighty Midas Touch
Gold in the mornin'
Gold in the evenin
Gold in the Summer
Gold in the Winter
Doctor Midas said to me
"Be sure you take your vitamin G...o...l...d"
And that's what he said to me
Yeah!
Gold in all its glory
And that's the story of the Midas Touch

Chilling Of The Evening
Chilling Of The Evening
Composer(s): Arlo Guthrie
Performer(s): Arlo Guthrie
Warm me from the wind and take my hand
A song is sounding, softly singing
My song is cast upon the rainbow waves
Forever splashing in the sunlight
Prove to me there's a love still left
In all of this emptiness around me
Take me from the chilling of the evening
Though you know my love that I must go
A-following the winds that blow inside me
I've nowhere left to run or hide
Except if you will come and run beside me
And even if you do there'll be a lot for us to do
To keep believing
Take me from the chilling of the evening
And now my time has come down many streets
I'm coming from a night decaying
The song that itself sings is all alone
I cannot even hear it playing
Now to leave before I understand
Just what it is I'm leaving
Take me from the chilling of the evening
Maandag 8 september 1975

Recognition
Performer(s): Earth & Fire
Nobody knows
this place of mine
the nights sad and long
after that time
I remember forever
from that very first time
what keeps us together
what’s bringing us here
I believe in you
Ooh I just wanted you
the sound of your voice
sad searching young man
made me sure of my choice
every time I hear it again
while Pharaoh is watching
I’m following my guide
swallowed by the crowd
I try to keep you in sight

Composer(s): Johnny Burke - James Van Heusen
Performer(s): Bob Hope, Bing Cosby, Peggy Lee
You won't say yes
And you won't say no
You let my poor heart pound
But you smile at me
And around I go
On the merry-go-run-around
You build me up
'Til the sky seems low
Then flop
I hit the ground
But you hold my hand
And around I go
On the merry-go-run-around
When a friend says to me
Where the heck are you bound
What the duce can I say
Just around and around and around
You won't say leave
And you won't say whoa
I've tried to get unwound
But you kiss me once
And around I go
On the merry-go-run-around
Oh you won't say yes
And you won't say no
You let my poor heart pound
But you smile at me
And around I go
On the merry-go-run-around
You build me up
'Til the sky seems low
Then flop
I hit the ground

On the merry-go-run-around
You build us up
'Til the sky seems low
Then flop
We hit the ground
But you hold our hand
And around we go
On the merry-go-run-around
When a friend says to me
Where the heck are you bound
What the duce can I say
Just around and around and around
You won't say leave
And you won't say whoa
So I've tried to get unwound
But you kiss me once
And around I go

Chill Factor
Chill Factor
Composer(s): Chrissie Hynde
Performer(s): The Pretenders
She’s getting older
Yeah, she’s getting wise
But a change has changed the girl
Gone’s the sparkle from her eyes
She wants to be a good mother
So she’ll do the best she can
But what about the other
What about the man
Well it’s cold to leave a woman
With family on her own
It’s chill factor
To the bone
Resignation
In her sighs
Is a sorry indication
Of how time
Can brutalise
Take away the hope
And the will will follow
Take away the faith
And goodbye tomorrow
Well it’s cold to leave a woman
With family on her own
It’s chill factor
To the bone
She had her dreams too
But how can she pursue
Her ambitions, be they great or small
You took her wings and flew
But remember when you’re through
Your rise was due
To somebody else’s fall
When the hard part’s over
And the kids are almost grown
You’ll be their big hero
Whenever you make it home
Shower them with presents
Things she could never buy
Delight them with your stories
About the great big, great big world outside
But dig
It’s cold to leave a woman
With family on her own
It’s chill factor
Chill factor
To the bone
