Don't Give Up On Us
Don't Give Up On Us
Composer(s): Tony Macaulay
First release by: David Soul - 1977
Covered by multiple other artists
Don't give up on us, baby
Don't make the wrong seem right
The future isn't just one night
It's written in the moonlight
Painted on the stars
We can't change ours
Don't give up on us, baby
We're still worth one more try
I know we put a last one by
Just for a rainy evening
When maybe stars are few
Don't give up on us, I know
We can still come through
I really lost my head last night
You've got a right to start believin'
There's still a little love left, even so
Don't give up on us, baby
Lord knows we've come this far
Can't we stay the way we are?
The angel and the dreamer
Who sometimes plays a fool
Don't give up on us, I know
We can still come through
It's written in the moonlight
Painted on the stars
We can't change ours
Don't give up on us, baby
We're still worth one more try
I know we put a last one by
Just for a rainy evening
When maybe stars are few
Don't give up on us, I know
We can still come through
Don't give up on us, baby
Don't give up on us, baby

Avalon Blues
Avalon Blues
Composer(s): Mississippi John Hurt
Performer(s): Mississippi John Hurt; Bill Morrissey
Got to New York this mornin', just about half-past nine
Got to New York this mornin', just about half-past nine
Hollerin' one mornin' in Avalon, couldn't hardly keep from cryin'
Avalon is my hometown, always on my mind
Avalon is my hometown, always on my mind
Pretty mama's in Avalon want me there all the time
When the train left Avalon, throwin' kisses and wavin' at me
When the train left Avalon, throwin' kisses and wavin' at me
Says, "Come back, daddy, and stay right here with me"
Avalon's a small town, have no great big range
Avalon's a small town, have no great big range
Pretty mama's in Avalon, they sure will spend your change
New York's a good town, but it's not for mine
New York's a good town, but it's not for mine
Goin' back to Avalon, near where I have a pretty mama all the time

Don't Give Up (Petula Clark)
Don't Give Up
Composer(s): Tony Hatch - Jackie Trent
Performer(s): Petula Clark
When love seems to get you down
When you can't turn around and run
You've got to stop and face the fact
That the heartaches have just begun
Because you need love, you need love
Keep on till you know what you've won, yeah!
Don't give up, don't let it get you down
Don't give up, don't think of leaving town
Don't give up, don't run away from it
Love will be yours in the end, my friend
When someone is on your mind
And you can't find the words to say
Don't put off until tomorrow, my friend
What you know you've gotta do today
Because you need love, you need love
And in time you'll discover the way, yeah!
Don't give up, don't let it get you down
Don't give up, don't think of leaving town
Don't give up, don't run away from it
Love will be yours in the end, my friend
You know you need love, you need love
Keep on till you know what you've won, yeah!
Now don't give up, don't let it get you down
Don't give up, don't think of leaving town
Don't give up, don't run away from it
Love will be yours in the end, my friend
Now don't give up, don't let it get you down
Don't give up, don't think of leaving town
Don't give up, don't run away from it
Love will be yours in the end, my friend
Now don't give up.................

Avalon
((Adapted from: E Lucean Le Stelle (by Enrico Caruso) - 1902))
Composer(s): Giacomo Puccini - Luigi Illica - Giuseppe Giacosa - B.G. DeSylva - Al Jolson - Vincent Rose
Performer(s): Al Jolson - 1920
and multiple other artists
I found my love in Avalon
Beside the bay
I left my love in Avalon
And I sailed away
I dream of her in Avalon
From dusk till dawn
So I think I'll travel on
To Avalon
Every morn' my memories stray
Across the sea where flying fishes play
And as the night is falling
I find that I'm recalling
That blissful all-enthralling day
Beside the bay
And I sailed away
I dream of her in Avalon
From dusk till dawn
So I think I'll travel on
To Avalon

Don't Give Up (Peter Gabriel)
Don't Give Up
Composer(s): Peter Gabriel
First release by: Peter Gabriel - 1986
Covered by multiple other artists
In this proud land we grew up strong
We were wanted all along
I was taught to fight
Taught to win
I never thought I could fail
No fight left or so it seems
I am a man whose dreams have all deserted
I've changed my face
I've changed my name
But no one wants you when you lose
Don't give up
'Cause you have friends
Don't give up
You're not beaten yet
Don't give up
I know you can make it good
Though I saw it all around
Never thought that I could be affected
Thought that we'd be the last to go
It is so strange the way things turn
Drove the night toward my home
The place that I was born, on the lakeside
As daylight broke, I saw the earth
The trees had burned down to the ground
Don't give up
You still have us
Don't give up
We don't need much of anything
Don't give up
'Cause somewhere there's a place where we belong
Rest your head
You worry too much
It's going to be alright
When times get rough
You can fall back on us
Don't give up
Please don't give up
Got to walk out of here
I can't take anymore
Going to stand on that bridge
Keep my eyes down below
Whatever may come
And whatever may go
That river's flowing
That river's flowing
Moved on to another town
Tried hard to settle down
For every job, so many men
So many men no-one needs
Don't give up
'Cause you have friends
Don't give up
You're not the only one
Don't give up
No reason to be ashamed
Don't give up
You still have us
Don't give up now
We're proud of who you are
Don't give up
You know it's never been easy
Don't give up
'Cause I believe there's a place
There's a place where we belong

Aux yeux de l'univers
Je suis un grain de sable
Oui je sais
Au milieu de la vie
Aux yeux de l'univers
Je n'suis rien qu'un passant
Oui je sais
Perdu dans l'infini
Mais à tes yeux, oh mon Amour
Je suis un héros, pour toi
Quand je vois
Le danger
Pour te protéger
Oui aux yeux de ton Amour
Oui aux yeux de ton Amour
Oui aux yeux de ton Amour
Je suis le plus fort...
Aux yeux de l'univers
Je ne suis rien qu'un homme
Oui je sais
Qui va vivre te mourir
Aux yeux de l'univers
Je me sens quelquefois écrasé
Face à mon avenir
Mais à tes yeux, oh mon Amour
Je suis un héros pour toi
Quand je vois
Le danger
Pour te protéger
Oui aux yeux de ton Amour
Oui aux yeux de ton Amour
Oui aux yeux de ton Amour
Je suis le plus fort...

Don't Give In To Him
Don't Give In To Him
Composer(s): Gary Usher
Performer(s): Gary Puckett & The Union Gap; The Ventures
It starts out with a kiss
Even though you're only friends
Now there's nothing wrong with this
But this is where his act begins
He'll hold you and tell you
That's what love is for
Oh but don't give in to him
No, no don't give in to him
Cause he will only ask for more
You don't want to lose him
So you let him have his way
You don't dare refuse him
Because you know the price you'll pay
He's braggin' that he's never lost before
So don't give in to him
No, no don't give in to him
Cause he will only ask for more
Baby, don't give in to him
No, no don't give in to him
Cause I'm the one who loves you more...

Looking Through The Eyes Of Love
Looking Through The Eyes Of Love
((French Version: Aux Yeux De Ton Amour (by Eddy Mitchell) - 1965))
Composer(s): Barry Mann - Cynthia Weil
First release by: Gene Pitney - 1965
In the eyes of the world I’m a loser just wastin’ my time
I can’t make a dime
In the eyes of the world being born was my first big mistake
I can’t get a break
But in the eyes of my woman I stand
Like a hero, a giant, a man who’s as tall as can be
Any fool can see
That she’s lookin’ through the eyes of love (lookin’ through the eyes of love)
Lookin’ through the eyes of love (lookin’ through the eyes of love)
Lookin’ through the eyes of love when she looks at me-ee
In the eyes of the crowd I’m a do-nothin’ kind of a guy
Who’ll just live and die
In the eyes of the crowd I’m another poor Joe on the street
Can’t get on my feet
But in the eyes of my woman they’re wrong
I’m a king and a lover as strong and as brave as can be
Any fool can see
That she’s lookin’ through the eyes of love (lookin’ through the eyes of love)
Lookin’ through the eyes of love (lookin’ through the eyes of love)
Lookin’ through the eyes of love when she looks at me-ee
She’s making me believe someday
Someday I’m gonna find a way
To be the man that she can see
When she looks at me (lookin’ through the eyes of love)
Lookin’ through the eyes of love (lookin’ through the eyes of love)
Lookin’ through the eyes of love (lookin’ through the eyes of love)
Lookin’ through the eyes of love (lookin’ through the eyes of love)
Lookin’ through the eyes of love

Don't Give A Dose To The One You Love The Most
Don't Give A Dose To The One You Love The Most
Composer(s): Shel Silverstein
Performer(s): Shel Silverstein
Don't give a dose to the one you love most
Give her some marmalade...give her some toast
You can give her the willies or give her the blues
But the dose that you give her will get back to youse
I once had a lady as sweet as a song
She was my darlin', and she was my dear
But she had a dose, and she passed it along
Now she's gone, but the dose is still there
So, don't give a dose to the one you love most
Give her some marmalade...give her some toast
You can give her a partiridge up in a pear tree
But the dose that you give her might get back to me
So if you've got an itchin'...if you've got a drip
Don't sit there wishin' for it to go 'way
If there's a thing on the tip of your thing or your lip
Run down to the clinic today, and say...
"I won't give a dose to the one I love most
I'll give her some marmalade...give her some toast"
Give her the willies or give her the blues
But the dose that you give her will get back to you

Aux Talons De Ses Souliers
Aux Talons De Ses Souliers
Composer(s): Enrico Macias
Performer(s): Enrico Macias
Les rues, les jours de marché, piquantes et bariolées
Parfumées d’orange et de piment
Un régiment d’oliviers, bordés de citronniers avec une maison devant
Les premières joies du cœur devant un champ de fleurs
Sont marquées de rose et d’amitié
Quand j’évoque ces instants je sens que mon accent revient comme il était avant
On emporte un peu sa ville aux talons de ses souliers
Quand pour vivre plus tranquille on doit tout abandonner
Les arcades tamisées où les petits cafés
Semblent s’allonger sur les trottoirs
La vieille maison de pierre, ce coin de cimetière où dort notre page d’histoire
Les couleurs de la montagne sous le ciel qui s’enflamme
Par le feu tout proche du désert
C’est autant de souvenirs qu’on ne peut pas détruire
Pourtant ils nous ont fait souffrir
On emporte un peu sa ville aux talons de ses souliers
Quand pour vivre plus tranquille on doit tout abandonner
Que l’on vive n’importe où
L’accent nous suit partout
comme une ombre doublée d’un miroir
On le porte comme un drapeau
Planté sur chaque mot
Depuis qu’on a pris le départ
On emporte un peu sa ville aux talons de ses souliers
Quand pour vivre plus tranquille on doit tout abandonner
On emporte un peu sa ville aux talons de ses souliers
Et pour vivre plus tranquille
On doit tout recommencer

Don't Get Me Wrong
Don't Get Me Wrong
Composer(s): Chrissie Hynde
First release by: The Pretenders - 1986
Covered by multiple other artists
Don't get me wrong
If I'm looking kind of dazzled
I see neon lights
Whenever you walk by
Don't get me wrong
If you say hello and I take a ride
Upon a sea where the mystic moon
Is playing havoc with the tide
Don't get me wrong
Don't get me wrong
If I'm acting so distracted
I'm thinking about the fireworks
That go off when you smile
Don't get me wrong
If I split like light refracted
I'm only off to wander
Across a moonlit mile
Once in a while
Two people meet
Seemingly for no reason
They just pass on the street
Suddenly thunder showers everywhere
Who can explain the thunder and rain
But there's something in the air
Don't get me wrong
If I come and go like fashion
I might be great tomorrow
But hopeless yesterday
Don't get me wrong
If I fall in the mode of passion
It might be unbelievable
But let's not stay so long
It might just be fantastic
Don't get me wrong

Aux Marches Du Palais
(Traditional)
Performer(s): Yves Montand
and multiple other artists
Aux marches du palais
Aux marches du palais
Y a une tant belle fille lonla
Y a une tant belle fille
Elle a tant d'amoureux
Qu'elle ne sait lequel prendre
C'est un p'tit cordonnier
Qu'a eu sa préférence
C'est en la lui chaussant
Qu'il lui fit sa demande
La belle si tu voulais
Nous dormirions ensemble
Dans un grand lit carré
Orné de toile blanche
Aux quatre coins du lit
Un bouquet de pervenches
Dans le mitan du lit
La rivière est profonde
Tous les chevaux du roi
Pourraient y boire ensemble
Et nous y dormirions
Jusqu'à la fin du monde

Don't Get Me Started
Don't Get Me Started
Composer(s): Phil Collins
Performer(s): Phil Collins
Don’t get me started on politicians
And the lies they spread
Don’t even mention sex and religion
And who they take to bed
But if you see me running down the street
Know where I’m running to
I’m tired of honesty being denied us
I’m coming looking for you
Don’t hold me down, I’m on my way
And nothing’s gonna turn me round
Don’t turn around, give it to me straight
I’m on my way and nothing’s gonna shake me
I’ll hold my ground
Wild horses won’t make me
Don’t get me started on information
Magazines and t.v.
There’s one man under his big umbrella
While it’s raining on you and me
Everyday it’s getting harder to judge
Fiction from fact
I’m tired of truth being denied me
It’s mine and I want it back
Don’t hold me down, I’m on my way
And nothing’s gonna turn me round
Don’t turn around, give it to me straight
I’m on my way and nothing’s gonna shake me
I’ll hold my ground
Wild horses won’t make me
Business as usual in our pressure steamer
Where reality slips from view
They say that we can’t take it
I think I can, can you?
Don’t get me started on blood and thunder
With people flying blind
Not caring what or who they take with them
Or what they leave behind
It’s one mans God against another
While the river of tears roll by
The things they do in the name of their father
Can someone tell me why
Don’t hold me down, I’m on my way
And nothing’s gonna turn me round
Don’t turn around, give it to me straight
I’m on my way and nothing’s gonna shake me
I’ll hold my ground
Don’t get me started

Don't Get Around Much Anymore
Don't Get Around Much Anymore
Composer(s): Duke Ellington - Bob Russell
First release by: The Ink Spots - 1942
Covered by multiple other artists
When I'm not playing solitaire
I take a book down from the shelf
And what with programs on the air
I keep pretty much to myself
Missed the Saturday dance
Heard they crowded the floor
Couldn't bear it without you
Don't get around much anymore
Thought I'd visit the club
Got as far as the door
They'd have asked me about you
Don't get around much anymore
Darling, I guess my mind's more at ease
But nevertheless, why stir up memories
Been invited on dates
Might have gone but what for
Awfully different without you
Don't get around much anymore
Missed the Saturday dance
Heard they crowded the floor
Couldn't bear it without you
Don't get around much anymore
Thought I'd visit the club
Got as far as the door
They'd have asked me about you
Don't get around much anymore
Darling, I guess my mind's more at ease
But nevertheless, why stir up memories
Been invited on dates
Might have gone but what for
Awfully different without you
Don't get around much anymore

Aux armes et caetera
Entendez-vous dans les campagnes
Mugir ces féroces soldats
Ils viennent jusque dans nos bras
Egorger nos fils nos compagnes
Aux armes et caetera
Amour sacré de la patrie
Conduis soutiens nos bras vengeurs
Liberté liberté chérie
Combats avec tes défenseurs
Aux armes et caetera
Nous entrerons dans la carrière
Quand nos aînés n'y seront plus
Nous y trouverons leur poussière
Et la trace de leurs vertus
Aux armes et caetera

Don't gamble with love

You can gamble your house, gamble your car
Gamble your hopes just as far
As the stars up above
But don't you gamble with love
Don't gamble with love
It's only for fools
So play by the rules
Don't gamble with love

The Autumn Waltz
The Autumn Waltz
Composer(s): Hilliard - Coleman
Performer(s): Tony Bennett
Chill winds and blue skies are everywhere
And I'm sentimental cause I still care
Constantly dreaming of one love affair
When I hear the Autumn waltz
Golden october is when we met
Wind dries the leaves but my eyes stay wet
You are the one love that I can't forget
When I hear the Autumn waltz
Come back to me, come back to me
High on the haystack is where I'll be
The new harvest dance is about to begin
And the barn is a palace when sweethearts walk in
No strings this season I'm on my own
It's the loneliest feeling I've ever known
If you don't show up I'll just walk home alone
When they play the Autumn waltz
When they play the Autumn waltz
