Composer(s): Al Dubin; Harry Warren
Performer(s): Frank Sinatra;
and various other artists
Every kiss, every hug seems to act just like a drug
You're getting to be a habit with me
Let me stay in your arms
I'm addicted to your charms
You're getting to be a habit with me
I used to think your love was something I could take or leave alone
But now I couldn't do without my supply
I need you for my own
Oh, I can't break away
I must have you everyday
as regularly as coffee or tea
You've got me in your clutches and I can't break free
You're getting to be a habit with me

You're Driving Me Out Of My Mind
You're Driving Me Out Of My Mind
Composer(s): Beeb Birtles; Graham Goble
Performer(s): Little River Band
Feeling bluesy, you know you do confuse me all night
I sit at home, alone and wonder if you're all right
I count the hours and lie awake until you return
And search my mind with overtime
I've so much to learn
Well I gave you everything from the depths of my heart
From the day you took my ring we drifted apart
I have one thing more to say
"You're driving me out of my mind"
So alone, the home we had has turned out its lights
I walk the floor and wonder who is sharing your nights
And all around, your sound, your thoughts are ever so near
It's hard to take, this wait
I'm always wanting you here
Well I gave you everything from the depths of my heart
From the day you took my ring we drifted apart
I have one thing more to say
"You're driving me out of my mind"
Though it may be hard to see
If you change your mind, will you know just where I'll be
If you ever need me
Feeling bluesy, you know you do confuse me all night
I sit at home, alone and wonder if you're all right
And all around, your sound
Your thoughts are ever so near
It's hard to take, this wait
I'm always waiting to here
Well I gave you everything from the depths of my heart
From the day you took my ring we drifted apart
I have one thing more to say
"You're driving me out of my mind"
I'm out of my mind
You're driving me out of my mind
You're driving me out of my mind

A Friend Of Yours

Performer(s): Frank Sinatra
and multiple other artists
Just say that I'm a friend of yours
And maybe they won't get wise
And if they see us together
I'll brush the dream from my eyes
I'll tell my heart it mustn't seem
The song of remember when
Just say that I'm a friend of yours
That you happen to meet again
I'll tell my heart that it mustn't seem
The song of remember when
Just say that I'm a friend of yours
That you happen to meet again

You're Driving Me Crazy
You're Driving Me Crazy
Composer(s): Walter Donaldson
Performer(s): Guy Lombardo;
and various other artists
You left me sad and lonely
Why did you leave me lonely?
For here's a heart that's only
For nobody but you!
I'm burning like a flame, dear
Oh, I'll never be the same, dear
I'll always place the blame, dear
On nobody but you
Yes, you
You're driving me crazy!
What did I do? What did I do?
My tears for you
Make everything hazy
Clouding the skies of blue
How true
Were the friends who were near me to cheer me
Believe me, they knew!
But you
Were the kind who would hurt me, desert me
When I needed you!
Yes, you!
You're driving me crazy!
What did I do to you?
----------
As recorded by Don Redman:
Spoken:
(Hey, you guys there, let's get together there
Why, you'se enough to drive a man crazy!
What's the matter, can't we get this thing?
What do you say we go there, huh?
Pick out a song!)
You! You're driving me crazy!
What did I do?
Oh, what did I do?
My tears for you make everything hazy,
Clouding the skies of blue!
How true!
Were the friends who were near me to cheer me
Believe me, they knew
But you!
Were the kind who would hurt me, desert me when I needed you!
Yes, you!
You're driving me crazy!
What did I do to you?

A Friend Of Mine
A Friend Of Mine
Composer(s): Gilbert O'Sullivan
Performer(s): Gilbert O'Sullivan
Good morning Mary Ann
And how are you upon this bright
And sunny morning
I hear your brother Ted
Got caught for speeding
But was let off with a warning
I hope he's learnt his lesson
And the next time he goes out will drive with care
It doesn't pay to drive too fast
All it does is make your life last shorter
I know you won't believe this
But it happens to be true
I am a loner
My only real companion is dog I'm very fond of
His name's Homer
He follows me wherever I go
And of course I do my best to feed him
It's not the easiest of tasks
When you consider unlike cats
They're broader
Do what you want to within reason
But remember take your time
Nothing stops for those
Who can't afford to wait
The best advice that I can give you
Is to hold on to your head
And as long as you are good and kind
You'll always be a friend of mine
And it's true to say that a good friend is hard to find
But I'd like to think that you are
A friend of mine
Good morning Sarah Jane
And how are you today
Tell me is that your mother
She looks a lot like you
Though come to think of it
You look like one another
It's funny how with likenesses
Most people have a difference of opinion
They said that I was like my dad
Now they say that I'm just like his daughter
Do what you want to within reason
But remember take your time
Nothing stops for those
Who can't afford to wait
The best advice that I can give you
Is to hold on to your head
And as long as you are good and kind
You'll always be a friend of mine
You'll always be a friend of mine
As long as you are good and kind
You'll always be a friend of mine
A friend in need is a friend indeed
You'll always be a friend of mine

You're Breaking My Heart (Vic Damone)
You're Breaking My Heart
Composer(s): Pat Genaro; Sunny Skylar
Performer(s): Vic Damone;
and various other artists
You're breaking my heart 'cause you're leaving
You've fallen for somebody new
It isn't too easy believing
You'd leave after all we've been through
It's breaking my heart to remember
The dreams we depended upon
You're leaving a slow dying ember
I'll miss you, my love, when you're gone
I wish you joy, though teardrops burn
But if some day you should want to return
Please hurry back and we'll make a new start, dear
Till then you're breaking my heart
(Instrumental Interlude)
I wish you joy, though teardrops burn
But if some day you should want to return
Please hurry back and we'll make a new start, dear
Till then you're breaking my heart

A Friend I Call Desire
A Friend I Call Desire
Composer(s): Warren Cann / Chris Cross / Billy Currie / Midge Ure)
Performer(s): Ultravox
You live for love, I long for it
You give for love, I take from it
This friend of mine, desire
This lovers crime, desire
Emotion driving all the time
A burning need for things not mine
Desire
You need your love
I walk from it
You fight for love
I run from it
My enemy desire
Caressing me, desire
The torch I carried burnt my hand
I can't control what I can't stand
Desire
You give for love, I lie for it
You give for love, I shy from it
And the pain, and the lust, and the want
And the hurt, and the lies
And the fears, and the urge, and the feel
And the touch, and it's all
A friend I call desire
You give for love, I lie for it
You give for love, I shy from it
And the pain, and the lies
And the touch, and it's all
A friend I call desire

You're Breaking My Heart (Ernest Tubb)
You're Breaking My Heart
Composer(s): H.H. Melka
Performer(s): Ernest Tubb; Claude King
The clothes that I wear are shabby and old
While you run around just spending my gold
Each night I’m alone, we’re drifting apart
You’re treating me wrong
You’re Breaking My Heart
You’ve shattered my hopes, my dreams are all gone
My life is so bare, how can I go on
You never will change it’s to late to start
You’re treating me wrong
You’re Breaking My Heart
Ah Billy Bird now
Instrumentals
Now once I was free, the one of your dreams
But now that I am yours you don’t want me it seems
The things you have done, helped dive us apart
You’re treating me wrong
You’re Breaking My Heart
I could have been gay, life could have been grand
If you only you cared, if you’d understand
You never will change it’s to late to start
You’re treating me wrong
You’re Breaking My Heart

Frenchman For The Night
Frenchman For The Night
Composer(s): Jimmy Buffett - Roger Guth
Performer(s): Jimmy Buffett; Nadirah Shakoor
From his driftwood castle
Comes a song I've heard before
A scratchy gramophone cuts to the bone
"La Vie En Rose" arpeggios
So the dream begins
And the song is amplified
Buy the Beaujolais, on Bastille day
He dances in the tide
By the light of the moon
He's a Frenchman for the night
By the light of the moon
It'll be all right
Well it takes him back
To the days of love and war
And the girl he knew with eyes of blue
Waiting on the shore
If he'd only known
How the years would fly on by
Such a simple crime, he's run out of time
So he reaches for the sky
Blame it on the Champs Élysees
Blame it on a tune
Blame it on the stroke of Monet
But you can't escape the moon
He sees the stars above
As the floor to heavens light
While the angels taunt "C'est une nuit blanche"
He's a Frenchman for the night
From a driftwood castle
Comes a song I've heard before
A scratchy gramophone cuts to the bone
"La Vie En Rose" arpeggios

You're breakin' my heart,
You're tearing it apart but fuck you
You're breakin' my heart
You're tearing it apart, boo-hoo
You stepped on my ass

I'm goin' insane
There's no one to blame so fuck you

A Free Thinker
A Free Thinker
Composer(s): Laura Nyro
Performer(s): Laura Nyro
You don't have your own
You're livin' thru others
Toss and turn at night
but you play it demure
and what's more
you don't think you've got the right
to be a free thinker
You could give yourself the right
You could shine your special light
Are you a consumer
A mere number
on a supermarket line?
wear a perfect mask
and never show your feelings
maybe you can make the time
To be a free thinker
You could find your own style
You may feel more alive
Do you ever wonder
Can we save our planet
and where will it go in time?
White hawks destroy
And healers send joy
back to the starry nite line
for a free thinker
with some individuality
you may find you feel more free

You're an old smoothie
I'm an old softie
I'm just like putty
In the hands of a girl like you
You're an old meanie
I'm a big boobie
I just go nutty
In the hands of a girl like you
Poor me, you played me for a sap
Poor you, you thought you'd laid a trap
Well dear, I think it's time you knew
You've done just what I wanted you to
Silly old smoothie
Crafty old softie
I'll stick like putty
To the hand of a girl like you

Composer(s): Jack Brooks
Performer(s): Roy Rogers
and multiple other artists
A four-legged friend, a four-legged friend
He'll never let you down
He's honest and faithful right up to the end
That wonderful one-two-three-four-legged friend
A woman's like cactus and cactus can hurt
'Cause she's just a tight-waisted winky-eyed flirt
She'll soon have your land and your pride and your gold
And bury you deep long before you grow old
A four-legged friend, a four-legged friend
He'll never let you down
He's honest and faithful right up to the end
That wonderful one-two-three-four-legged friend
A two legged hombre is worthless as sand
He'll smile like a saint with a gun in his hand
He'll promise to stick by your side like a pal
But he'll also promise the same to your gal
A four-legged friend, a four-legged friend
He'll never let you down
He's honest and faithful right up to the end
That wonderful one-two-three-four-legged friend
Who carries your burden, who carries your load
On tumbleweed land or a long dusty road
Who asks you no questions, who tells you no lies
That four-legged friend with the two honest eyes
A four-legged friend, a four-legged friend
He'll never let you down
He's honest and faithful right up to the end
That wonderful four-legged friend
That wonderful one-two-three-four-legged friend

You're An Education
You're An Education
Composer(s): Al Dubin; Harry Warren
Performer(s): Michael Feinstein;
Bob Crosby; Three Symphonettes
Must I memorise a book
To be considered wise
When I can look into your eyes
Literature is such a bore
And mathematics too
I'd much prefer to learn about you....
You're the only kind of knowledge
They don't teach at any college
You're an education in yourself
There are poems and romances
In the glamour of your glances
You're an education in yourself
Of all the famous dates in hist'ry
I recall but a few
The fourth of July
And my dates with you
You've a kiss that's scientific
Tho' it's tender, it's terrific
You're an education in yourself
You're the kind of mental training
I could take without complaining
You're an education in yourself
Intricate as economics
Simple as the Sunday comics
You're an education in yourself
And there are geometric figures
In your beautiful curves
They're good on the eyes
But bad on the nerves
You are my encycloped'yuh
Let me take you home and read yuh
You're an education in yourself

A Foto Da Capa
A Foto Da Capa
Composer(s): Chico Buarque
Performer(s): Chico Buarque
O retrato do artista quando moço
Não é promissora, cândida pintura
É a figura do larápio rastaqüera
Numa foto que não era para capa
Uma pose para câmera tão dura
Cujo foco toda lírica solapa
Era rala a luz naquele calabouço
Do talento a clarabóia se tampara
E o poeta que ele sempre se soubera
Claramente não mirava algum futuro
Via o tira da sinistra que rosnara
E o fotógrafo frontal batendo a chapa
É uma foto que não era para capa
Era a mera contracara, a face obscura
O retrato da paúra quando o cara
Se prepara para dar a cara a tapa
