Come Back And Shake Me


Come Back And Shake Me
Composer(s): Kenny Young
Performer(s): Clodagh Rodgers; Paige Claire



Come back and shake me, take me in your arms
Squeeze me, please me, Baby, Baby
Shake me, make me yours again
Hug me, bug me, be my friend, I'm lonely

My sleeves are all torn, my buttons are loose
My makeup's starting to fade away
The sparkle you put in my dolly eye
Is gone since that cloudy bye-bye day

My room is my house, my bed is my home
My pillow's my friend, my only friend
Your old baby doll, your raggedy doll
Is waiting for you to play again

Come back and shake me, take me in your arms
Squeeze me, please me, Baby, Baby
Shake me, make me yours again
Hug me, bug me, be my friend, I'm lonely

Bring your old tools and fix up my heart
And get your old doll together
And put back the colour gone from my lips
Kiss 'em and make it better

My love is my life, my life is my love
My world is my man, my only man
Your old baby doll, your raggedy doll
Is waiting for you to play again

Come back and shake me, take me in your arms
Squeeze me, please me, Baby, Baby
Shake me, make me yours again
Hug me, bug me, be my friend (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Shake me, take me in your arms
Squeeze me, please me, baby, baby
Shake me, make me yours again
Hug me, bug me, be my friend (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeahhhhh)
Shake me, take me in your arms
Squeeze me, please me ...

Rimini


Rimini
Performer(s): Fabrizio De André



Teresa ha gli occhi secchi
guarda verso il mare
per lei figlia di pirati
penso che sia normale

Teresa parla poco
ha labbra screpolate
mi indica un amore perso
a Rimini d'estate.

Lei dice bruciato in piazza
dalla santa inquisizione
forse perduto a Cuba
nella rivoluzione
o nel porto di New York

nella caccia alle streghe
oppure in nessun posto
ma nessuno le crede

Coro: Rimini, Rimini

E Colombo la chiama
dalla sua portantina
lei gli toglie le manette ai polsi
gli rimbocca le lenzuola

"Per un triste Re Cattolico - le dice -
ho inventato un regno
e lui lo ha macellato
su di una croce di legno

E due errori ho commesso
due errori di saggezza
abortire l'America
e poi guardarla con dolcezza

ma voi che siete uomini
sotto il vento e le vele
non regalate terre promesse
a chi non le mantiene"

Coro: Rimini, Rimini

Ora Teresa è all'Harrys' Bar
guarda verso il mare
per lei figlia di droghieri
penso che sia normale

porta una lametta al collo
è vecchia di cent'anni
di lei ho saputo poco
ma sembra non inganni

"E un errore ho commesso - dice -
un errore di saggezza
abortire il figlio del bagnino
e poi guardarlo con dolcezza

ma voi che siete a Rimini
tra i gelati e le bandiere
non fate più scommesse
sulla figlia del droghiere"

Coro: Rimini, Rimini

Story Of My Love


Story Of My Love
Composer(s): Conway Twitty - Jack Nance
Performer(s): Conway Twitty



Darling we're not very old
But there's a love story that has to be told
By stars above I swear that it's true
It's the story of my love for you
(My love for you)

It starts when you came into my life
You vowed someday you'd be my wife
Sweetheart I thought the world of you
You made my world of dreams come true
(Of dreams come true)

The years may come and years may pass
And I reach the end of life's journey at last
Though time may change me in some ways it's true
It could never change my love for you
(Change my love for you)

Oh, when I'm gone bury me
On the highest mountain of history
Then all the world will hear me cry
My love for you will never die
(For you will never die)

Rimbaud Chanterait


Rimbaud Chanterait
Composer(s): Jean-Michel Rivat; Roland Vincent
Performer(s): Michel Delpech



Il écrivait sur des morceaux d'azur
Sur les étangs sur les forêts è è è
Il écrivait sur le vent sur les murs
Mais aujourd'hui il chanterait
Rimbaud chanterait les mains tendues
Rimbaud chanterait les bras en croix
Rimbaud chanterait le temps venu
Un soleil dans le cœur un sanglot dans la voix
Là devant la foule il chanterait
Comme un oiseau libre il chanterait
Et toute la foule sifflerait
Mais Rimbaud chanterait
Mais Rimbaud chanterait

Il t'a laissé des mots venus du cœur
Pour ne pas mourir tout à fait è è è
Lui, l'homme fou, l'ami, le déserteur
Aujourd'hui comme il chanterait
Rimbaud chanterait les mains tendues
Rimbaud chanterait les bras en croix
Rimbaud chanterait le temps venu
Un soleil dans le cœur un sanglot dans la voix
Là devant la foule il chanterait
Comme un oiseau libre il chanterait
Et toute la foule sifflerait
Devant toi tu verrais
Un bateau qui se noie
Un bateau qui se noie
Et Rimbaud chanterait
Rimbaud chanterait le poing levé
Rimbaud chanterait le cœur serré
Rimbaud chanterait la liberté
Et l'amour et l'enfer et le fleuve et la mer
Et devant la foule il chanterait
Comme un oiseau libre il chanterait
Et toute la foule sifflerait
Mais Rimbaud chanterait
Mais Rimbaud chanterait
reprise ad lib

The Story Of My Life (Neil Diamond)


The Story Of My Life
Performer(s): Neil Diamond



The story of my life
is very plain to read
it starts the day you came
and ends the day you leave

The story of my life
begins and ends with you
the names are still the same
and the story's still the truth

I was alone
you found my waiting
and made me your own
I was afraid
that somehow I never could be
the man that you wanted of me

You're the story of my life
and every word is true
each chapter sings your name
each page begins with you

It's the story of our times
and never letting go
and if I die today
I wanted you to know

Stay with my here
share with me care with me
stay and be near
and when it began
I'd lie awake every night
just knowing somewhere deep inside
that our affair just might write

The story of my life
it's so very plain to read
it starts the day you came
and ends the day you leave

Come Away To Sea


Come Away To Sea
Composer(s): David Wilcox
Performer(s): David Wilcox



The wind is right for sailing
The tide is right to go
So come away to sea with me
There's things that you should know

There's things I'd like to tell you
That words can't seem to say
Unless we're on this simple craft
Sailing far away

Sail around this sound
Far away from shore
Come away to sea with me
Sail your heart once more

Join me in this simple craft
Welcome to my home
The things I'd like to say to you
Are better said alone

So let your heart sail with me
We'll cast away from town
And we'll sail away on music
Inside this simple sound

Sail around this sound
Far away from shore
Come away to sea with me
Sail your heart once more

This simple craft I play upon
Is made from wooden parts
It's never sailed an ocean
But it sure can sail my heart

And if you feel the music
Then we've raised another sail
The ocean wraps this world around
The wind will never fail

Rikki Don't Lose That Number


Rikki Don't Lose That Number
Composer(s): Walter Becker; Donald Fagen
Performer(s): Steely Dan;
and various other artists



We hear you're leaving, that's ok
I thought our little wild time had just begun
I guess you kind of scared yourself, you turn and run
But if you have a change of heart

Rikki, don't lose that number
You don't wanna call nobody else
Send it off in a letter to yourself
Rikki, don't lose that number
It's the only one you own
You might use it if you feel better
When you get home

I have a friend in town, he's heard your name
We can go out driving on Slow Hand Row
We could stay inside and play games, I don't know
And you could have a change of heart

Rikki, don't lose that number
You don't wanna call nobody else
Send it off in a letter to yourself
Rikki, don't lose that number
It's the only one you own
You might use it if you feel better
When you get home

You tell yourself you're not my kind
But you don't even know your mind
And you could have a change of heart

Rikki, don't lose that number
You don't wanna call nobody else
Send it off in a letter to yourself
Rikki, don't lose that number
It's the only one you own
You might use it if you feel better
When you get home

Rikki, don't lose that number
(Rikki, don't lose that number)
Rikki, don't lose that number

The Story Of My Life (Marty Robbins)


The Story Of My Life
Composer(s): Burt Bacharach - Hal David
First release by: Marty Robbins with Ray Conniff and His Orch. - 1957
Covered by multiple other artists



Someday I'm going to write
The story of my life
I'll tell about the night we met
And how my heart can't forget
The way you smiled at me

I'd like the world to know
The story of my life
The moment when your lips met mine
And that first exciting time
I held you close to me

The sorrow when our love was breakin' up
The mem'ry of a broken heart
But later on, the joy of makin' up
Never never more to part

There's one thing left to do
Before my story's through
I've got to take you for my wife
So the story of my life
Can start and end with you

The sorrow when our love was breakin' up
The mem'ry of a broken heart
But later on, the joy of makin' up
Never never more to part

There's one thing left to do
Before my story's through
I've got to take you for my wife
So the story of my life
Can start and end
Can start and end
Can start and end with you

Come Away Melinda


Come Away Melinda
Composer(s): Fred Hellerman; Frances Minkoff
Originally performed by: Harry Belafonte
Covered by various other artists



Daddy, daddy, come and look
See what I have found
A little ways away from here
While digging in the ground

Come away melinda
Come in and close the door
It's nothing, just a picture-book
They had before the war

Daddy, daddy, come and see
Daddy, come and look
Why, there's four or five
Little melinda girls
Inside my picture book

Come away melinda
Come in and close the door
There were lots of little girls like you
Before they had the war

Oh daddy, daddy, come and see
Daddy, hurry do
Why, there's someone
In a pretty dress
She's all grown up like you
Won't you tell me why

Come away melinda
Come in and close the door
That someone is your mummy
You had before the war

Daddy, daddy, tell me if you can
Why can't things be
The way they were
Before the war began

Come away melinda
Come in and close the door
The answer lies in yesterday
Before they had the war

Right Wheel, Left Hammer, Sham


Right Wheel, Left Hammer, Sham
Composer(s): Alan Blakley; Len "Chip" Hawkes
Performer(s): The Tremeloes



If you get a right wheel, left hammer raw deal
Ev'rything is upside down
Tie him in a knot, try ev'rything you've got now
Kick him in the dusty ground
Give it a try, let it go by by by by by
Give it a try, let it go by by by by by

Marriage on the rocks, d'pends who said what then
Nobody remember why
Go before a counsel, wouldn't let her down feel
Shakin' in your old school tie
Give it a try, let it go by by by by by
Give it a try, let it go by by by by by

Horses on the run win thirty three to one
And never put a penny on
Smiling on the bookie, tell him that he should meet
Better luck the next time son
Give it a try, let it go by by by by by
Well give it a try, let it go by by by by by

Doo de doo de doo de ....

The Story Of A Starry Night


The Story Of A Starry Night
((Adapted from: Symphony No.6 Pathetique (Tchaikovsky))
Composer(s): Tchaikovsky - Mann Curtis - Al Hoffman - Jerry Livingston
Performer(s): Glenn Miller
and multiple other artists



This is the storry of a starry night
The faded glory of a new delight
Long breathless meetings, two lips repeating
Sweet precious words that were sweet, but fleeting

When stars are bright my heart keeps wondering why
Our first "goodnight" became our last "goodbye"
I pray that someday love will in some way
Bring back the story of a starry night

Right Time Of The Night
Composer(s): Pete McCann
Performer(s): Jennifer Warnes;
and various other artists



Sun goes down on a silky day
Quarter moon walkin' thru the Milky Way
When it's me and you baby
We could think of somethin' to do
'Cause it's the right time of the night
Oh, the stars are winkin' above
Honey, it's the right time of the night
For makin' love

We'll go drinkin' in some heavy bar
I'll take you night ridin' in my chevy car
When it's me and you baby
We could think of somethin' to do
'Cause it's the right time of the night
Oh, the stars are winkin' above
Honey, it's the right time of the night
For makin' love

I got you and you got me
Tell you, that's the way my momma
Always said it should be
I'll be sweet and you'll be kind
We'll be bad, if you don't mind

It's the right time of the night
Oh, the stars are winkin' above
Honey, it's the right time of the night
For makin' love

The Story Of 26 Men


The Story Of 26 Men
Composer(s): Harold Hopper - Russell Hayden



Saddle up, saddle up
Saddle up, saddle up, saddle up
This is the story of 26 Men
Who rode the Arizona Territory
High is the glory of 26 Men
Who's parish helped to fill the Territory

26 Men who saddled up and then
Rode out to answer duty's call
26 Men who lived to ride again
And fight for the rights and the liberty of all

This is the story of 26 Men
Enforcing law within the Territory
Praise be the Glory of 26 Men
Who rode the Arizona Territory

Ride on
Ride on
Ride on

Come And Stay With Me


Come And Stay With Me
Composer(s): Jackie DeShannon
Performer(s): Marianne Faithfull
and various other artists



I'll send away all my false pride
And I'll forsake our love my lies
Yes, I'll be as true, as true can be
If you'll come and stay with me

Lovers of the past I'll leave behind
There'll never be another on my mind
I'll do all I can so you'll feel free
If you'll come and stay with me

The promises I made most faithfully
I'll keep still, should you decide to leave
I'll try and see that you have all you need
If you come and stay with me

We'll live a life no one has ever known
But I know you're thinking that I'm hardly grown
But O thank God, at last and finally
I can see you're gonna stay with me

But O thank God, at last and finally
I can see you're gonna stay with me

Right Said Fred


Right Said Fred
Composer(s): Ted Dicks; Myles Rudge
Performer(s): Bernard Cribbens; Maya Angelou



"Right" said Fred
"Both of us together
One each end and steady as we go"

Tried to shift it
Couldn't even lift it
We was gettin' nowhere, and so
We 'ad a cup o' tea and

"Right" said Fred
"Give a shout to Charlie"
Up comes Charlie from the floor below

After strainin'
Heavin' and complainin'
We was gettin' nowhere, and so
We 'ad a cup o' tea and

Charlie had a think and he thought we ought
To take off all the 'andles
And the things what 'eld the candles
But it did no good
Well I never thought it would

"Alright" said Fred
"Have to take the feet off"
To get them feet off wouldn't take a mo

Took its feet off
Even took the seat off
Should have got us somewhere, but no!

So Fred said "Let's 'ave another cup o' tea"
And we said "Right-oh"

"Alright" said Fred
"Have to take the door off
Need more space to shift the so-and-so"

Had bad twinges
Takin' off the 'inges
And it got us nowhere, and so
We 'ad a cup o' tea and

"Right" said Fred
"Have to take the wall down
That there wall is gonna have to go"

Took the wall down
Even with it all down
We was gettin' nowhere, and so
We 'ad a cup o' tea and

Charlie had a think and he said "Look Fred
I've got a sort of feelin'
If we remove the ceilin'
With a rope or two
We could drop the blighter through"

"Alright" said Fred
Climbin' up a ladder
With his crowbar gave a mighty blow

Was he in trouble
Half a ton of rubble
Landed on the top of his dome!

So Charlie and me 'ad another cup o' tea
And then we went 'ome

Spoken:
I said to Charlie, we'll just have to leave it standin' on the
landin', that's all. You see the trouble with Fred is, he's, he's
too 'asty. Now you never get nowhere if you're too 'asty

The Story In Your Eyes


The Story In Your Eyes
Composer(s): Justin Hayward
First release by: The Moody Blues - 1971



I've been thinking about our fortune
And I've decided that we're really not to blame
For the love that's deep in--side us now
It's still the same

And the sound we make together
Is the music to the story in your eyes
It's been shining down upon us now
I realize

Listen to the tide slowly turning
Wash all our heartaches away

We're part of the fire that is burning
From the ashes we can build another day
But I'm frightened for our children
And the life that we are living is in vain
And the sunshine we've been waiting for
Will turn to rain

And when the final line is over
And it's certain that the curtain's gonna fall
I can hide inside your sweet sweet love
Forever more

Come And Go Blues


Come And Go Blues
Composer(s): Gregg Allman
The Allman Brothers Band
and various other artists



People say that you're no good
But I wouldn't cut you loose, baby, if I could
Well, I seem to stay down on the ground
Baby, I'm too far gone to turn around
Oh, if only you would make up your mind
Take me where you go, you're leaving me behind
Lord, you got those come and go blues
Lord, you got those some and go blues
Yes, you do, oh and you got me feelin' like a fool

'Round 'n' 'round, 'round we go
Don't ask me why I stay here, I don't know
Well maybe I'm a fool to care
Without your sweet love, baby I would be nowhere
Here I'll stay, locked in your web
Till that day I might find somebody else
I don't know just when that would be
I don't know, I can't say as I can't see
Lord you got me feeling like a fool

Sail on, darlin', sail on
Woman, you go your way, and I'll go mine
Seems to me, that I once heard
That everything is finally cured by time
So sail on, darlin', sail on
Lord, I wish you good luck
And I'll see you when you come next time

Woman, you got those come and go blues
Yeah, you got those come and go blues
Yes, you do, oh and you got me feelin' like a fool

I been in the right place But it must have been the wrong time I'd of said the right thing But I must have used the wrong line I been in the right trip But I must have used the wrong car My head was in a bad place And I'm wondering what it's good for I been the right place But it must have been the wrong time My head was in a place But I'm having such a good time I been running trying to get hung up in my mind Got to give myself a little talking to this time Just need a little brain salad surgery Got to cure this insecurity I been in the wrong place But it must have been the right time I been in the right place But it must have been the wrong song I been in the right vein But it seems like the wrong arm I been in the right world But it seems wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong Slipping, dodging ,sneaking Creeping hiding out down the street See me life shaking with every who I meet Refried confusion is making itself clear Wonder which way do I go to get on out of here I been in the right place But it must have been the wrong time I'd have said the right thing But I must have used the wrong line I'd a took the right road But I must have took a wrong turn Would have made the right move But I made it at the wrong time I been on the right road But I must have used the wrong car My head was in a good place And I wonder what it's bad for
