Walking Down Madison
Walking Down Madison
Composer(s): Kirsty MacColl; Johnny Marr
Performer(s): Kirsty MacColl
Walking down Madison - I swear I never had a gun
No I never shot no-one - I was only having fun
Walking down Madison - swear I never had a gun
I was philosophizing some
Checking out the bums
See you give 'em your nickels, your pennies and dimes
But you can't give 'em hope in these mercenary times, oh no
And you feel real guilty about the coat on your back
And the sandwich you had, oh no
From an uptown apartment to a knife on the A train
It's not that far
From the sharks in the penthouse to the rats in the basement
It's not that far
To the bag lady frozen asleep in the park
Oh no it's not that far
Would you like to see some more?
I can show you if you'd like to
Walking down Madison - I swear I never had a gun
No I never shot no-one - wouldn't do it just for fun
Walking down Madison - trying to keep my head screwed on
I was philosophizing some
Checking out the nuns
When you get to the corner don't look at those freaks
Keep your head down low and stay quick on your feet, oh yeah
The beaming boy from Harlem with the airforce coat
The ones who died
The ones who tried
The ones that sit and gloat
From an uptown apartment to a knife on the A train
It's not that far
From the sharks in the penthouse to the rats in the basement
It's not that far
To the bag lady frozen asleep on the church steps
It's not that far
Would you like to see some more?
I can show you if you'd like to
Within every city and town there's a Madison
Frozen lives for whom nothing's happening
Hungry children is a mother's dilemma
Dumpster diving to feed her baby Emma
So you walk on by like it doesn't affect you
The held out hand that you pay no respect to
Nickels and dimes won't even buy your guilt
Another wino burnt to death in his quilt
It's a cardboard city, newspaper metropolis
The system can't cope or keep on top of this
The authorities come as you're not for display
Do they solve the problem no they move him away
They're in a vicious circle of no fixed abode
The social won't pay 'em the money they're owed
When you've got no money you can't pay rent
Hypothermia kills 'cos the system is bent
From an uptown apartment to a knife on the A train
It's not that far
From the sharks in the penthouse to the rats in the basement
It's not that far
To the bag lady frozen asleep in the park
Oh no it's not that far
Would you like to see some more?
I can show you if you'd like to
From an uptown apartment to a knife on the A train
It's not that far
From the sharks in the penthouse to the rats in the basement
It's not that far
To the bag lady frozen asleep on the church steps
It's not that far
Would you like to see some more?
I can show you if you'd like to
In the subway sits a vacuous man
His grip on life is a bent tin can
It's a holy shrine where he burns his light
It makes things easy and removes his plight
For an hour or two but he can't escape
They're all penned in with government tape
There are good samaritans who bring the soup
The sally army with their bibles and boots
You can see yourself as it's not too far
One short trip you don't who they are
Till the night comes then it all comes back
Like the smell of patchouli and the armies of rats
It's a shame to be human it's a human shame
It seems we've forgotten we're one and the same

A Teenager's Romance
Composer(s): David Gillam
Performer(s): Rick Nelson
Bah, bah, bah, but
Bah, bah, bah, but
Bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, but
Do do do do do do
Bah, bah, bah, but
Bah, bah, bah, but
Bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, but
A teenager's romance is fickled or true
A teenager's romance is red hot or blue
You're either in misery or high on a crest
A teenager's romance is like all the rest
They tell us we're different
We haven't the right
To decide for ourselves, dear
What's black and what's white
Keep saying you love me
And they'll look upon
A teenager's romance
That goes on and on
They tell us we're different
We haven't the right
To decide for ourselves, dear
What's black and what's white
Keep saying you love me
And they'll look upon
A teenager's romance
That goes on and on
A teenager's romance
That goes on and on

A Teenager In Love
A Teenager In Love
Composer(s): Doc Pomus - Mort Shuman
First release by: Dion & the Belmonts - 1959
Covered by multiple other artists
Each time we have a quarrel, it almost breaks my heart
Cause I am so afraid that we will have to part
Each night I ask the stars up above
Why must I be a teenager in love?
One day I feel so happy, next day I feel so sad
I guess I'll learn to take the good with the bad
Each night I ask the stars up above
Why must I be a teenager in love?
I cried a tear for nobody but you
I'll be a lonely one if you should say we're through.
Well if you want to make me cry, that won't be so hard to do
If you should say goodbye, I'll still go on loving you
Each night I ask the stars up above
Why must I be a teenager in love?
I cried a tear for nobody but you
I'll be a lonely one if you should say we're through.
Well if you want to make me cry, that won't be so hard to do
And if you should say goodbye, I'll still go on loving you
Each night I ask the stars up above
Why must I be a teenager in love?
Why must I be a teenager in love?
Why must I be a teenager in love?
Why must I be a teenager in love?

Composer(s): Robert Johnson
Performer(s): Robert Johnson
I woke up this mornin', feelin' round for my shoes
Know by that I got these old walkin' blues, well
Woke this mornin' feelin’ round for my shoes
But you know by that, I got these old walkin' blues
Lord I feel like blowin’ my old lonesome horn
Got up this mornin’, my little Bernice was gone, Lord
I feel like blowin’ my lonesome horn
Well I got up this mornin’, whoa all I had was gone
Well, leave this mornin' if I have to, ride the blinds
I feel mistreated, and I don't mind dyin'
Leavin’ this mornin', if I have to ride the blind
Babe, I’ve been mistreated, baby and I don't mind dyin'
Well, some people tell me that the worried blues ain't bad
Worst old feelin' I most ever had
Some people tell me that these old worried old blues ain't bad
It's the worst old feelin', I most ever had
She’s got a elgin movement from her head down to her toes
Break in on a dollar most anywhere she goes
Ooh, from her head down to her toes
Lord, she break in on a dollar, most anywhere she goes

Teenage Idol
Teenage Idol
((French Version: L'Idole Des Jeunes) (by Johnny Hallyday) - 1962))
Composer(s): Jack Lewis
First release by: Rick Nelson - 1962
Covered by multiple other artists
Some people call me a teenage idol
Some people say they envy me
I guess they got no way of knowing
How lonesome I can be
I need somebody to be my baby
Someone to tell my troubles to
I've got no time to ever find her
Cause I'm just passing through
I travel around from town to lonely town
I guess I'll always be just a rolling stone
If I find fortune and fame and lots of people know my name
That won't mean a thing if I'm all alone
I get no rest when I'm feeling weary
I got to pack my bags and go
I got to be somewhere tomorrow
To smile and do my show
I travel around from town to lonely town
I guess I'll always be just a rolling stone
If I find fortune and fame and lots of people know my name
That won't mean a thing if I'm all alone
Some people call me a teenage idol
Some people say they envy me
I guess they got no way of knowing
How lonesome I can be
How lonesome I can be

Walking Blues (Ma Rainey)
Walking Blues
Performer(s): Ma Rainey
Woke up this morning, up this morning
With my head bowed down, hey, hey, hey
Woke up this morning with my head bowed down
I had that mean old feeling, I was in the wrong man's town
Mailman's been here, mailman's been here
But didn't leave no news, hey, hey, hey
Mailman's been here but didn't leave no news
That's the reason why mama's got the walking blues
Walked and walked till I, walked and walked
I almost lost my mind, hey, hey, hey
Walked and walked till I almost lost my mind
I was afraid to stop walking 'cause I might lose some time
Got a short time to make it, short time to make it
And a long ways to go, Lord, Lord, Lord
Short time to make it and a long way to go
Trying to find the town they call San Antonio
Thought I'd rest me, thought I'd rest me
I couldn't hear no news, Lord, Lord, Lord
Thought I'd rest me, I couldn't hear no news
I'll soon be there 'cause I got the walking blues

L'idole Des Jeunes
L'idole Des Jeunes
((Adapted from: Teenage Idol (by Rick Nelson) - 1962))
Composer(s): Jack Lewis - Ralph Bernet
Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday - 1962
Les gens m'appellent l'idole des jeunes
Il en est même qui m'envient
Mais ils ne savent pas dans la vie
Que parfois je m'ennuie
Je cherche celle qui serait mienne
Mais comment faire pour la trouver
Le temps s'en va, le temps m'entraîne
Je ne fais que passer
Dans la nuit je file tout seul de ville en ville
Je ne suis qu'une pierre qui roule toujours
J'ai bien la fortune et plus et mon nom partout dans la rue
Pourtant je cherche tout simplement l'Amour
Plus d'une fille souvent me guettent
Quand s'éteignent les projecteurs
Soudain sur moi elles se jettent
Mais pas une dans mon cœur
Dans la nuit je file tout seul de ville en ville
Je ne suis qu' une pierre qui roule toujours
Il me faut rire et danser et le spectacle terminé
S'en aller ailleurs au lever du jour
Les gens m'appellent l'idole des jeunes
Il en est même qui m'envient
Mais s'ils pouvaient savoir dans la vie
Combien tout seul je suis
Combien tout seul je suis

Funny but it's true
What loneliness can do
Since I've been away
I have loved you more each day
Walking back to happiness
Whoop-pa, oh yeah
Said goodbye to loneliness
Whoop-pa, oh yeah
I never knew I'd miss you
Now I know what I must do
Walking back to happiness

Making up for things I said
Whoop-pa, oh yeah
And mistakes to which they led
Whoop-pa, oh yeah
I shouldn't have gone away
So I'm coming back today
Walking back to happiness
I threw away
Walking back to happiness with you
Said farewell to loneliness I knew
Laid aside foolish pride
Learnt the truth from tears I cried
Spread the news: I'm on my way
Whoop-pa, oh yeah
All my blues have blown away
Whoop-pa, oh yeah
I'm bringing you love so true
'Cause that's what I owe to you
Walking back to happiness

A Teardrop On A Rose
A Teardrop On A Rose
Composer(s): Hank Williams
Performer(s): Hank Williams
and multiple other artists
While strolling thru a lovely garden
As day was drawing to a close...
My eyes beheld a tragic story
I saw a teardrop on a rose
It should have been a tear of gladness
But deep inside the sorrow shows
A trusting heart had just been broken
I saw a teardrop on a rose
A sobbing tear that follows parting
Holds all the pain that sorrow knows
A false goodbye a life is shattered
There lies a story on a rose
The tear will dry the rose will wither
When spring and winter comes and goes
I loved, I lost, my story ended
With just a teardrop on a rose

Walkin' After Midnight
Walkin' After Midnight
Composer(s): Don Hecht; Alan Block
Performer(s): Patsy Cline
I go out walking after midnight
Out in the moonlight just like we used to do
I'm always walking after midnight searching for you
I walk for miles along the highway
Well that's just my way of saying I love you
I'm always walking after midnight searching for you
I stopped to see a weeping willow
Crying on his pillow maybe he's crying for me
And as the skies turn gloomy
Night blooms will whisper to me I'm lonesome as I can be
I go out walking after midnight out in the moonlight
Just hoping maybe you're somewhere walking after midnight searching for me
I stopped to see a weeping willow
Crying on his pillow maybe he's crying for me
And as the skies turn gloomy
Night blooms will whisper to me I'm lonesome as I can be
I'm out walking after midnight out in the moonlight
Just hoping maybe you're somewhere walking after midnight searching for me

A Tear, A Kiss, A Smile
Composer(s): L. Wolfe Gilbert - Paul Insetta
Performer(s): Jerry Vale; Percy Faith; Josef Locke
A tear, a kiss, a smile, these things make life worthwhile
A kiss to dry a tear dimmed eye and then the smile returns again
So if I've been unkind, if you look you're sure to find
In all true love the story of a tear, a kiss, and a smile
So if I've been unkind, if you look you're sure to find
In all true love the story of a tear, a kiss, and a smile

Walkin'
Walkin'
Composer(s): Lindsey Steele; Mary Lou Williams
Performer(s): Nat King Cole
I’m walking out the door with you on my mind
I’m walking out the door with you on my mind
But every step away from you, I feel like crying
I walked into the street, talking to myself
I walked into the street, talking to myself
No matter what my conscience says
I’m thinking ‘bout nobody else
I met a brand new chick, phoned to make a date
I met a brand new chick, phoned to make a date
But when I rang her number, I got your number by mistake
You say you love me baby, don’t know what to do
You say you love me baby, don’t know what to do
I’m sure of one thing, I’m in love with you

A Tear From A Woman's Eyes
A Tear From A Woman's Eyes
Composer(s): Lamont Dozier - Brian Holland - Eddie Holland
Performer(s): The Temptations
I saw the saddest thing, the other day
When an old man passed my way
Walking the streets so all alone
All because he had no home
But the saddest thing I've ever seen
Is a tear from a woman's eye
A tear from a woman's eye
Hmmm
I saw a man, no shoes on his feet
But the saddest thing is to see a woman weep
A woman is a tender thing
To see her cry, a sad, sad thing
Nothing touches me deeper inside
Than a tear from a woman's eye
A tear from a woman's eye
Hmmm
A woman's tears dropping on her cheek
Is like a sound of thunder, that loudly rings
'Cause when I see her cry, I know she hurts inside
Yes, the saddest thing I've ever seen
Is a tear from a woman's eye
A tear from a woman's eye
Hmmm
Sad, sad thing is a tear from a woman's eye
A sad, sad thing is to see a woman cry
Sad, sad, sad thing is a tear from a woman's eye
Sad, sad, sad thing is to see a woman cry

Walkin' With A Mountain
Walkin' With A Mountain
Composer(s): Ian Hunter
Performer(s): Mott The Hoople
A mountain train's coming down the tracks
She ain't wasting time
She's following me, 'cos I'm going back, right to the end of the line
She know's I ain't been anywhere
Because I'll come back everytime to her
Walking with a mountain
Walking with a mountain
The troubles and tears, I take 'em in years - I left so many behind
Maybe it's strange to rearrange - who know's what I'll find
But anything's better than the life I've known
I can't face anything that low
Walking with a mountain
Walking with a mountain
Walking with a mountain
Walking with a mountain
Now when she talks to me, I can see just where I'm headed to
She sits, drinks, takes it all in, just to admire the view
But if I had my choice in life
I'd take that woman for my wife
Walking with a mountain
Walking with a mountain
(Repeat Chorus several times)
Jumping jack flash, it's a gas
Jumping jack flash, it's a gas

A Tear Fell
A Tear Fell
Composer(s): Dorian Burton - Eugene Randolph
Performer(s): Teresa Brewer
and multiple other artists
A fool am I, a fool am I, in love
A tear fell when I saw you in the arms of someone new
A tear fell when you left me all alone and feeling blue
A tear fell when you told me that your love was not for me
Oh, I didn't miss the teardrops but I missed you constantly
A fool am I, a fool am I, in love
The teardrops that you stepped on as you danced across the floor
Were crushed like my poor heart was when you walked out of the door
A tear fell when you told me that the flame in your heart died
Darlin', have I lost you like these teardrops from my eyes?
A fool am I, a fool am I in love
A tear fell when you told me that your love was not for me
Oh, I didn't miss the teardrops but I missed you constantly
A fool am I, a fool am I, in love

Till you spent all my money
No use for you to cry

À Te Regarder
À Te Regarder
Composer(s): Charles Aznavour - J. Constantin
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
Tout le jour tu es loin de moi
Mais lorsque tombe la nuit
Que tu viens dormir prés de moi
J'oublie toute ma vie
Quand se ferment sur notre amour
Les portes de ton sommeil
En moi que de tourments s'éveillent
À te regarder
J'ai le coeur qui soupire
Je voudrais crier, sangloter ou bien rire
À te regarder
Je sens comme une angoisse
Si tu savais ce que tu tiens de place
À te regarder
J'ai le coeur qui chavire
Et mes pensées
Me font mal, me déchirent
Si tu devais rêver à quelqu'un d'autre
Et partager ces joies qui sont les nôtres
À te regarder
Quand la peur me domine
Pour arracher ce cri de ma poitrine
Je veux t'éveiller, te voir devenir blême
Et m'effondrer en te criant: "Je t'aime"
