Your Other Love


Your Other Love
Composer(s): Doc Pomus; Mort Shuman
Performer(s): Dean Martin; The Flamingos



Your other love may be handsome
And when he smiles he's got a twinkle in his eye
Your other love may be bolder
And when he holds you in his arms you wanna die
He says he loves you from the very start
But your other love, but your other love
Is gonna someday break your heart.

Your other love says he needs you
Just like a flower needs the burning summer sun
Your other love says he wants you
Oh, how he swears to you
That you're the only one
He claims his future just depends on you
But your other love, but your other love
Is gonna someday prove untrue

He's just tellin' lies
Got you hypnotized
Soon you'll realize

Your other love is unfaithful
When you're not there, another girl is in his arms
Your other love is a lover
Makin' love to any girl who's in his arms
My love is true
Not for just a day
But your other love
But your other love
Is gonna someday fly away
But your other love
But your other love
Is gonna someday fly away

Composer(s): Mick Jagger - Keith Richards - Peter Schleicher
Performer(s): Peter Schleicher - 1979



Gestatten meine Herrn, dass ich mich deklarier
als Mensch von feinster Lebensart
I leb mit euch seit tausend Jahr und

I spiel für euch den schwarzn Mann, i bin an allem schuld
Doch wenn's es lang so weitermachts
dann reisst ma die Geduld

Habe die Ehre, ihr wisst's doch wer i bin
und was euch so nervös macht
I steck tiaf in euch drin

Beim Militär da fallts ma gar net schwer
weil wir, wir san vom gleichn Holz
Es fühlts euch guat mit eurem G'wehr und
schiesst's auf wen es wollts
Und a jeda wird von euch ums Haxl g'legt
die Hauptsach ist, es geht uns selber gut

Habe die Ehre, ....

Gestatten meine Herren, dass ich mich deklarier
als Mensch von feinster Lebensart
I leb mit euch seit tausend Jahr und bring
euch Brand und Mord
Es g'neisst's net ob wer euch dirigiert
Es glaub's an jedn Schmäh, den man euch erzählt
Es hockts nur bled in eure Löcher drin
und g'freuts euch, wenns euch selber quälts

Habe die Ehre, ....

In jedem G'schmierten steckt a Strizzi drin
In jedem Heiligen die Sünd
Mir graust von euch, obwohl i der Teufl bin
Gegen euch bin i a braves Kind
Drum, wenn's mi trefft's seid's ilab zu mir
Seid's freundlich, seid's fidel
weil ich und eure Menschlichkeit fahrn miteinander in'd Höll

Hab die Ehre ....

Your Ole Handy Man


Your Ole Handy Man
Composer(s): Dolly Parton
Performer(s): Dolly Parton



I have to mow the lawn
And I have to wash the car
And I'd just like to know
Just who you think you are
I'm gettin' tired of wagging
That old heavy garbage can
Your woman's gettin' tired
Of being your ole handy man

I have to run your water
And I have to wash your back
And I have to scrub the tub
After you have had your bath

You're as helpless as a baby
But I love you, understand
I'm just gettin' tired
Of being your ole handy man

Your woman's gettin' tired of being your ole handy man
Now I know you've got ten fingers
But where's your helpin' hand
I've just made a decision
I've stood all I'm gonna stand
Your woman's gettin' tired of being your ole handy man

I do everything for you
You never help yourself
An' I think I'd die from shock
If you raised a hand to help
Well, I'm not gonna keep it up
That's what you got planned
Your woman's gettin' tired of being your ole handy man

Your woman's gettin' tired of being your ole handy man
Now I know you got ten fingers
But where's that helpin' hand
I've just made a decision
I've stood all I'm gonna stand
Your woman's gettin' tired of being your ole handy man

Your woman's gettin' tired of being your ole handy man

Your Old Standby


Your Old Standby
Composer(s): Janie Bradford; Smokey Robinson
Performer(s): Mary Wells; Gladys Knight & The Pips



She left you last night
And today you called me on the phone
Asked me if you could come over
'Cause you didn't want to be alone
So you want me to stand in for her
And be the love of your next act
But this time I play the part so well
There'll be no need for her coming back, 'cause...

Chorus
You know that I'm your old stand-by
You know that you can call on me
I know the part so well that you can hardly tell
That she's left you in misery

I know you only called me 'cause you needed company
'Cause once again she's left you and your heart's in misery, but...

(chorus)

(instrumental)

(repeat and fade)
I don't wanna be your old stand-by
I wanna be with you permanently
I'm gonna play the part from the depths of my heart
And you won't need nobody but me

Sympathy (Rare Bird)


Sympathy ((aka Not Enuff Love (Faithless) - 2001)) Composer(s): Mark Ashton - Graham Field - Stephen Gould - David Kaffinetti First release by: Rare Bird - 1969 Covered by multiple other artists Titles In Other Languages: 1970 - Sympathie (Séverine) 1970 - L'umanità (Caterina Caselli)



Now when you climb into your bed tonight
And when you lock and bolt the door
Just think about out in the cold and dark
'Cause there's not enough love to go 'round

And sympathy is what we need my friends
And sympathy is what we need
And sympathy is what we need my friends
'Cause there's not enough love to go 'round
No there's not enough love to go 'round

Now half the world hates the other half
And half the world has all the food
And half the world lies down and quietly starves
'Cause there's not enough love to go 'round

And sympathy is what we need my friends
And sympathy is what we need
And sympathy is what we need my friends
'Cause there's not enough love to go 'round
No there's not enough love to go 'round

And sympathy is what we need my friends
And sympathy is what we need
And sympathy is what we need my friends
'Cause there's not enough love to go 'round
No there's not enough love to go 'round

Your Nose Is Gonna Grow


Your Nose Is Gonna Grow
Composer(s): Jeff Hooven; Hal Winn
Performer(s): Johnny Crawford;
Christine Quaite; Emile Ford



You carry my books
You give me looks that say "I love you"
You send me flowers
I spend my hours thinking of you
But I saw you late last night
You were holding another girl tight
Go ahead, explain
But remember, if you lie
The bogeyman will get you
And your nose is gonna grow
So remember, if you lie
Ev'ryone will know
Remember, if you lie
Your nose is gonna grow-oh-oh-oh-oh
And ev'ryone will know

You're holding my hand
Making plans to stay together
Promising me
That our love will be forever
If everything you say is true
Well, who's the girl I saw with you
Go ahead, explain
But remember, if you lie
The bogeyman will get you
And your nose is gonna grow-oh-oh-oh-oh
So remember, if you lie
Ev'ryone will know, ooh-oh-oh
The bogeyman will get you
Your nose is gonna grow-oh-oh-oh-oh
The bogeyman will ...

Your Mother And Mine


Your Mother And Mine
Composer(s): Sammy Fain; Sammy Cahn
Performer(s): Doris Day;
Kathryn Beaumont; Voices of Ascension



The angel voice that bids you goodnight
kisses your cheek, whispers sleep tight
Your mother and mine
Your mother and mine

The helping hand that guides you along
whether you’re right, whether you’re wrong
Your mother and mine
Your mother and mine

What makes mothers all that they are
Might as well ask what makes a star

Ask your heart to tell you her worth
your heart must say heaven on earth
Another word for divine
your mother and mine

Not Enuff Love


Not Enuff Love ((Adapted from: Sympathy (Rare Bird) - 1969)) Composer(s): Mark Ashton - Graham Field - Stephen Gould - David Kaffinetti - Rollo Armstrong - Sister Bliss Performer(s): Faithless - 2001 Titles In Other Languages: 1970 - Sympathie (Séverine) 1970 - L'umanità (Caterina Caselli)



Now when you climb
Into your bed tonight
And when you lock
And bolt the door
Just think of those
Out in the cold and dark
'Cause there is not enough love to go round

Now when you climb ...
And when you lock ...
Just think of those
Out in the cold and dark
'Cause there is not enough love to go round

[Maxi Jazz]
Until you wake up
You people need a shake up
You take up so much time
Worrying, Scurrying
Here, there
Losing your hair
No money to spare
No love to share
No wonder you appear under pressure from here
You look fresh, yeah
But all I got is dirt in my hair
My nightmares manifest,
But I can escape
Yours is in your chest
With no form or shape
The tape is running
I push the button to send
Upon each other we all depend
Message end

Whoever asks my name
Or where I came from
People fear contamination
If they chary too long
I carry a strong
Sin of despair
It's in the air
I'm broken and hard to repair
I may mistaken be
But I patiently wait
On the path to humanity
I sit at the gates

Now when you climb
Into your bed tonight
And when you lock
And bolt the door
Just think of those
Out in the cold and dark
'Cause there is not enough love to go round

Now when you climb
Into your bed tonight
And when you lock
And bolt the door
Just think of those
Out in the cold and dark
'Cause there is not enough love to go round

[Maxi Jazz]
Dirty, Cold, Hurting, Soul
Down the river
My liver in bad condition
Like my skin
Rain falling, once again
I'm in my bed
Hurt the time in
I'm gonna struggle for air
There's hair in my food
When I get it usually someone already half ate it
Touch it, not to let it
Get me down
But my head starting to pound
People go round, and round and round

From one I get a cigarette
A little more love found
But the ground is still wet
My teeth are chattering
And there's a spattering of seeds
Sometimes I lose all feeling in my feet
When I sleep I'll do my deep in the mainstream
But unaccountably my heart was growing
Small and mean
A hurry past
Wretched people I pretend I haven't seen
But there's money in my pocket
And my clothes are clean?

[Maxi Jazz 4x]
I said money in my pocket
But I just can't give no love
Money in my pocket
But I just can't give no love

Now when you climb
Into your bed tonight
And when you lock
And bolt the door
Just think of those
Out in the cold and dark
'Cause there is not enough love to go round
'Cause there is not enough love to go round

Your Mind Has Left Your Body


Your Mind Has Left Your Body
Composer(s): Paul Kantner
Performer(s): Paul Kantner



You have left your body
Be aware if you care
Your mind has left your body
And for this one moment you are
Under the polar ice cap
In a place we call home
How is it there white bear
Like that
Where you grow...

Now all of you come back to here and now
Elsewhen to there
Move on out the other way
Where...
Do you find yourself
Floating, growing, there

Riders of the rainbow
Let it grow, let it grow

You can exercise your mind
On where you want to go
And you can see the city lights flashin'
Two thousand miles below you
You can feel the sands of Zanzibar
Or pierce the nearest sun
Find out what and who you are
And if you need to run

Riders of the rainbow
Let it grow, let it grow
Riders of the rainbow
Let it grow, let it grow

There is one moment in your life
And it can come at any time
And you remember all of what went on
From the instant you were born
Through your early years

And if you can fasten on that moment
And expand through the afterglow
You can reverse your mind in time
And travel back to when
The earth was formed
The sky was born
And the universe began

Riders of the rainbow
Let it grow, let it grow

You have left your body
Return when you may
Save it for another day, beyond you

L'umanità


L'umanità
((Adapted from: Sympathy (Rare Bird) - 1969 (aka Not Enuff Love (Faithless) - 2001))
((French Version: Sympathie (Séverine) - 1970))
Composer(s): Mark Ashton - Graham Field - Stephen Gould - David Kaffinetti - Daniele Pace
Performer(s): Caterina Caselli - 1970



Di notte tu
A letto te ne vai
Ma penso che
Non dormiresti piu'
Pensando a chi
Giu' nella strada sta
Ed e' solo nell'oscurita'

L'umanita'
Pensa soltanto a se'
L'umanita'
Non sa pregare piu'
La verita'
E' che mi devi amare
Se nel mondo l'amore non c'e'
Se nel mondo l'amore non c'e'

Tu vedi che
C'e' chi non muore mai
E invece c'e'
Chi lotta per vivere
Meta' del mondo
Sa cosa son le stelle
Mentre gli altri non le vedono mai

L'umanita' pensa soltanto a se'
L'umanita' non sa pregare piu'
La verita' e' che mi devi amare
Se nel mondo l'amore non c'e'
Se nel mondo l'amore non c'e'

Your Mama Don't Dance


Your Mama Don't Dance
Composer(s): Kenny Loggins; Jim Messina
Performer(s): Loggins & Messina;
and various other artists



Your mama don't dance and your daddy don't
Rock and roll
Your mama don't dance and your daddy don't
Rock and roll
But when evening comes around and it's time to
Hit the town
Where do you go - You gotta rock it

The old folks say that ya gotta end your date
By ten
But if you're out on a date don't you
Bring her home late cuz it's a sin
You know there's no excuse
You know you're gonna lose you never win
I'll say it again

And it's all because your mama don't dance
And your daddy don't rock and roll
Your mama don't dance and your daddy don't
Rock and roll
When evenin' rolls around and it's time to
Hit the town
Where do you go - To rock it, rock it

Everyone gather round let me tell you all
About it
You see I pulled into a drive-in and
I found a place to park
We hopped into the backseat where it's
Always nice and dark
I'm just about to move thinking to myself
Mmm
Bret this is a breeze
Then there's a light in my eye and a guy says
Out of the car long hair
Oowee - You're coming with me
Said the local police

And it's all because your mama don't dance
And your daddy don't rock and roll
Your mama don't dance and your daddy don't
Rock and roll
When evenin' rolls around and it's time to
Hit the town
Where do you go - Play me a little C.C.

Your mama don't dance and your daddy don't
Rock and roll
Your mama don't dance and your daddy don't
Rock and roll
They just ain't cool and they ain't about to start
Your mama don't dance and you daddy don't rock

Your mama don't dance, no
She just don't dance, no
You mama don't dance
And you daddy don't rock and roll, oww no

Sylvie (Joe Dassin)


Sylvie
Composer(s): R. Dassin - Joe Dassin - Claude Lemesle
Performer(s): Joe Dassin



C'était un soir, un matin peut-être, Sylvie
T'en souviens-tu, Sylvie, je ne sais plus, Sylvie
C'était l'été, l'automne peut-être, Sylvie
Je n'en sais rien, Sylvie, c'est déjà loin, Sylvie

On perd jusqu'à la mémoire
D'un air que l'on a chanté
Et ton image nous sépare
Des paysages familiers
D'une rivière, d'un banc de square
Et d'une chambre où tu venais

Qui se souvient de nous, Sylvie
Qui peut penser à nous
Qui sait encore qu'il y a longtemps
On s'aimait fort, on s'aimait tant

Mais tout s'efface, tout se remplace, Sylvie
Rêves d'enfants, Sylvie, rêves de grands aussi
Et le bonheur lui-même passe, Sylvie
Comme le temps, Sylvie, comme le vent, Sylvie

On perd jusqu'à la mémoire
D'un air que l'on a chanté
Et cet instant et ce visage
Que l'on voudrait se rappeler
Ne sont que des châteaux de sable
Bientôt la mer va remonter

Qui se souvient de nous, Sylvie
Qui peut penser à nous,
Qui sait encore qu'il y a longtemps
On s'aimait fort, on s'aimait tant

Mais on s'est sans doute fait des promesses, Sylvie
T'en souviens-tu, Sylvie, je ne sais plus, Sylvie
Amour d'un jour, amour de jeunesse, Sylvie
Se sont perdus, Sylvie, et tu n'es plus qu'un oubli

Your Love Is Stranger Than Mine


Your Love Is Stranger Than Mine
Composer(s): Colin Bass;
Andy Latimer; Jan Schelhaas; Andy Ward
Performer(s): Camel; Colin Bass



Can't you see?
All of the things that I'm trying to say
Are inside of me
I never thought I'd be feeling this way
But I think you've known all the time
Your love is stranger than mine

Seeing you
I can't believe in a love that won't leave
I don't want you to
Be anyone that you don't wanna be
But I think you've known all the time
Your love is stranger than mine

If you are the one
To make it, to break it
If you are the one
Won't you stay with me?

One more time
Getting a feeling afraid that I might be
Out of line
Telling myself there's a chance that you
could be someone I've known all the time
Your love is stranger than mine

Each day when I rise and I look at you
I can't believe I'm living a dream come true
And as long as you feel the way you do
I'll do everything to make all your days fresh and new

Your love, keeps me satisfied
Your love, fills my heart with pride

It keeps my heartbeat pounding
Your love makes me want you more
Your love, don't ever worry 'bout it running short
Cause I can't do without it, Your love

SoI'm gonna take the time to show you
How much I care
Just as long as there's heaven above you
This I can promise no other's love will I share

Your love, keeps me going strong
Your love, keeps me hangin' on
Your love, this feeling never seems to disappear
Your love, shelter from the storm
Your love, keeps getting better to me year after year
Your love, keeps me feeling fine

Ain't no doubt about it
I can't do without your sweet love

Sylvie (Charles Aznavour)


Sylvie
Composer(s): Charles Aznavour
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour



Sylvie
Ou sont tes plaisirs
Et tes rires d'enfant
Sylvie
Ou sont tes désirs
De mordre à belles dents
La vie
Éveillant tes jeunes printemps
À l'aube de tes joies
Tu pleures déjà
Pour
Un garçon insensé
Qui un jour
Sans raison a brisé
Pour toujours
Les espoirs de ton coeur
Plein d'amour
Toi tu pleures

Sylvie
Ce que l'on voit fuir
Ne se rattrape pas
Sylvie
Armé d'un sourire
Un inconnu viendra
Ravi
D'apporter des rêves en toi
Par un nouveau bonheur
Au fond de ton coeur
Viens
Car à l'âge d'aimer
Le chagrin
Ne doit pas t'effleurer
Car demain
Peut sombrer ton malheur
Puisque rien
Ne demeure

Sylvie
Quand on a de l'espoir
Tout peux recommencer
Sylvie
Range ton mouchoir
Et repoudre ton nez
Souris
Car la vie ce traîne à tes pieds
Ne la repousse pas
Tu regretteras
Quand
Tes années s'enfuiront
Que le temps
Me donnera raison
Tristement
Tu te diras:"trop tard!"
En fouillant
Ta mémoire
Sylvie
Là tu comprendras
Ce que tu as perdu
Sylvie
Les jours d'autrefois
Ne se revivent plus
Aussi
Ouvre ton coeur à l'inconnu
Qui changera tes jours
Par un cri d'amour

Your Latest Trick


Your Latest Trick
Composer(s): Mark Knopfler
Performer(s): Dire Straits; The Tribute Band



All the late night bargains have been struck
Between the satin beaus and their belles
And prehistoric garbage trucks
Have the city to themselves
Echoes roars dinosaurs
They're all doing the monster mash
And most of the taxis and the whores
Are only taking calls for cash

I don't know how it happened
It all took place so quick
But all I can do is hand it to you
And your latest trick

My door was standing open
Security was laid back and lax
But it was only my heart got broken
You must have had a pass key made out of wax
You played robbery with insolence
And I played the blues in twelve bars down Lover's Lane
And you never did have the inteligence to use
The twelve keys hanging off my chain

I don't know how it happened
It all took place so quick
But all I can do is hand it to you
And your latest trick

Now it's past last call for alcohol
Past recall has been here and gone
The landlord finally paid us all
The satin jazzmen have put away their horns
And we're standing outside of this wonderland
Looking so bereaved and so bereft
Like a Bowery bum when he finally understands
The bottle's empty and there's nothing left

I don't know how it happened
It was faster than the eye could flick
But not all I can do is hand it to you
And your latest trick

Sylvia


Sylvia
Composer(s): Oley Speaks



Sylvia's hair is like the night
Touched with glancing starry beams
Such a face as drifts thro' dreams
This is Sylvia to the sight
And the touch of Sylvia's hand is as light as milkweed down
When the meads are golden brown
And the autumn fills the land
Silvia just the echoing
Of her voice brings back to me
From the depths of memory
All the loviliness of spring
Sylvia! Sylvia!
Such a face as drifts thro' dreams
This is Sylvia to the sight
