Needle Of Death


Needle Of Death
Composer(s): Bert Jansch
Performer(s): Bert Jansch;
and various other artists



When sadness fills your heart
And sorrow hides the longing to be free
When things go wrong each day
You fix your mind to 'scape your misery

Your troubled young life
Had made you turn
To a needle of death

How strange, your happy words
Have ceased to bring a smile from everyone
How tears have filled the eyes
Of friends that you once had walked among

Your troubled young life
Had made you turn
To a needle of death

One grain of pure white snow
Dissolved in blood spread quickly to your brain
In peace your mind withdraws
Your death so near your soul can't feel no pain

Your troubled young life
Had made you turn
To a needle of death

Your mother stands a'cryin'
While to the earth your body's slowly cast
Your father stands in silence
Caressing every young dream of the past

Your troubled young life
Had made you turn
To a needle of death

Through ages, man's desires
To free his mind, to release his very soul
Has proved to all who live
That death itself is freedom for evermore

And your troubled young life
Will make you turn
To a needle of death

In Vista Della Sera


In Vista Della Sera
Composer(s): Camillo Castellari; Corrado Castellari
Performer(s): Mina



La nostra vita, sentimentale è
è naturale definita
né troppo vuota né troppo piena
qualche traguardo irraggiungibile
non è un problema
sei stato l'uomo che ho amato
sempre da principiante
poi come amante
sei stato quello che ho difeso
più volentieri
quando tradivi l'uomo che eri
e si apre il mio giorno in vista della sera
il momento in cui tu mi manchi di più
e la città è già un prodigio
ma quale buio, quale grigio
luci accese come su di noi
e si accende il mio giorno in vista della sera
il momento in cui tu mi manchi di più
l'ora in cui vai così distante
so che non è cambiato niente
succede che mi perdo senza te
sei stato l'uomo che ho amato sempre
senza far drammi, teneramente
sei stato quello per cui ho fatto di testa mia
lucidamente con fantasia
e si chiude il mio giorno in vista della sera
il pensiero di te so bene cos'è
tra la città che mi è piaciuta
piena di gente disincantata
che torna insieme come me e te
ora ha un senso il mio giorno in questa vita mia
che io vivo per te soltanto per te
e se un'idea m' è balenata
che quasi quasi m'ha infastidita
non c'entra più, qua conti solo tu
ora sto ferma ad ascoltare
tu quello che ho voglia di sentire
non c'entra più, qua conti solo tu

Need-A-Man Blues


Need-A-Man Blues
Composer(s): Pete Bellotte; Giorgio Moroder
Performer(s): Donna Summer



Another Monday morning
another five day week ahead
such a lonely weekend
sleeping in a half filled bed

Got those need-a-man blues
I need a man so bad
got those need-a-man blues
and it's driving me mad

All the evening people
dressing up just to get undressed
and me I'm stuck at home
losing more and gaining less

Got those need-a-man blues
I need a man so bad
got those need-a-man blues
and it's driving me mad

Emptiness inside
empty as a glass in my hand
whisky friend of mine
help me make it easy without

Got those need-a-man blues
I need a man so bad
got those need-a-man blues
and it's driving me mad

Baby baby baby
goes the singer on my hi-fi
honey honey honey
my reply

Got those need-a-man blues
I need a man so bad
got those need-a-man blues
and it's driving me mad

Emptiness inside
empty as a glass in my hand
whisky friend of mine
help me make it easy without

Got those need-a-man blues
I need a man so bad
got those need-a-man blues
and it's driving me mad

Another Monday morning
another five day week ahead
such a lonely weekend
sleeping in a half filled bed

Got those need-a-man blues
I need a man so bad
got those need-a-man blues
and it's driving me mad

In Too Deep


In Too Deep
Composer(s): Joel Hirschhorn; Al Kasha; Michael Lloyd
Performer(s): Maureen McGovern



The night bird is dyin'
And, baby, there's no denyin'
Too far gone to escape, to pull myself free (pull myself free)
Now, I'm tryin', tryin' hard to get back
How I'm dyin' tryin' hard to get back
But it's too far, but it's too far to climb

'Cause I'm in too deep
Fallin' down through the dark and it's drivin' me crazy
I'm in too deep
All the feel of the pain and it's drivin' me crazy

Trusted you without thinkin'
I didn't, didn't notice that I was sinkin'
Never thought I could lose what I've given in (I've given in)
How I'm needin', needin' to be near you
How I'm bleedin' just needin' to be near you
When all I wanted, all I wanted was you

'Cause I'm in too deep
Fallin' down through the dark and it's drivin' me crazy
I'm in too deep
All the feel of the pain and it's drivin' me crazy

I'm in too deep
Down a bottomless well, I'm a-shellin', I'm fallin'
I'm in too deep
In a dark, cold cell, and you can't hear me callin'
I'm in (in) too deep (too deep)
It's a bottomless well that I find myself down in
I'm in (in) too deep (too deep)
In a dark, empty cell, I'm a-shellin', I'm drownin'
(In too deep, ah ah ah)
(In too deep, ah ah ah, crazy)

'Cause I'm in too deep
Fallin' down through the dark and it's drivin' me crazy
I'm in too deep
All the feel of the pain and it's drivin' me crazy

'Cause I'm in too deep
Fallin' down through the dark and it's drivin' me crazy
I'm in too deep
All the feel of the pain and it's drivin' me crazy ...

Need Your Love So Bad


Need Your Love So Bad
Composer(s): Little Willie John
Performer(s): Fleetwood Mac;
and various other artists



Need someone's hand to lead me through the night
I need someone's arms to hold and squeeze me tight
Now, when the night begins, whoa, I'm at an end
Because I need your love so bad

I need some lips to feel next to mine
Need someone to stand up - to stand up and tell me when I'm lyin'
And when the lights are low - and it's time to go
That's when I need your love so bad

So why don't you give it up, baby and bring it home to me
or write it on a piece of paper, woman - so it can be read to me
Tell me that you love me - and stop drivin' me mad
whoa, because I - I need your love so bad

Need a soft voice - just to talk to me at night
Don't want you to worry, baby
I know we can make everything alright
Listen to my plea, baby, come on bring it to me
'Cause I need - your love so bad
Baby, I need, I need - woman, I need your love so bad

In Times To Be


In Times To Be
(French Version: Nous Nous Reverrons Un Jour Ou L'Autre)
Composer(s): Charles Aznavour; Herbert Kretzmer
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour



At last, the hour has come for parting
It's curtain time for you and me
Taxi at the door, suitcase on the floor
Yet, I feel our story's only starting

Adding up our losses and our winnings
There's another ending, I can see
Travellers we are, following our star
To a shining world of new beginnings, in times to be

The Gods look down, they must have seen us
And smiled to see such fools as we
They know where and when we will meet again
Though the seven seas may come between us

We sang a song of love and laughter
Though more than once we sang off key
There will come a time, we will sing in line
In a time of happy ever after, in times to be

We sang a song of love and laughter
Though more than once we sang off key
As we dream the parts, keep me in your heart
Till that time of happy ever after, in times to be

In Time


In Time
Composer(s): Paul Kantner; Marty Balin
Performer(s): Jefferson Airplane



Long time since I climbed down this mountain before
Things I've seen here make me want to go running home

Lean close put your lips next to my face
Look further on past the surface

Orange, blue, red & green
Are the colors of what I feel
And my mind y'know it starts to reel in time

To know your flesh layin' by my skin
And I wonder whenever I'm in
Warm, soft, nice & now
Are the word things of what I know
And my body y'know it's so in time

I see you at the same place that I play
Ah darlin' tell me what can I say
Dance, sing, sleep& dream
Is the music of what I feel
Among the many things whenever you're near in time

Come with me my friend
Come on now and take my hand
You can be my friend
Soon be in another country

Need You


Need You
Composer(s): Wheeler
Performer(s): Donnie Owens; Robert Gordon



Need you
Your tenderness, your understanding heart
I hurt for you each minute were apart
I need my angel now

Miss you
I miss the funny little things you do
I miss your sweetness and your sadness too
I miss your every mood

When our flame of love was burning high
We vowed our love would never die
Seems your love for me has gone
I wish I knew
I hope Im wrong

Come back to me
Come back and help me find the will to live
In this old troubled world of take and give
I need you by my side

In This Life


In This Life
Composer(s): Michael Barry Reid; James Allen Shamblin
First release by: Collin Raye - 1992
Covered by multiple other artists



For all I've been blessed with in this life
there was an emptiness in me
I was imprisoned by the power of gold
With one honest touch, you set me free

Let the world stop turning
let the sun stop burning
Let them tell me love's not worth going through
If it all falls apart, I will know deep in my heart
the only dream that matters has come true
in this life, I was loved by you

For every mountain I have climbed
every raging river crossed
you were the treasure that I longed to find
Without your love I would be lost

Let the world stop turning
let the sun stop burning
let them tell me love's not worth going through
If it all falls apart, I will know deep in my heart
the only dream that mattered had come true
in this life i was loved by you

In this life, I was loved by you

Need Some Love
Composer(s): Geddy Lee; Alex Lifeson
Performer(s): Rush; John Rutsey



I'm runnin' here, I'm runnin' there
I'm lookin' for a girl
'Cause there's nothin' I need, there's nothin' I want more
In the whole wide world

Well, I need it quick and I need it now
Before I start to fade away
That's why I'm searchin', that's why I'm lookin'
Each and ev'ry day

Chorus
Ooh, I need some love
I said I need some love!
Oo yes, I need some love
This feelin' I can't rise above
Oo, yeah yeah!

Well I been hustlin' here, I been hustlin' there
I been searchin' for about a week
And I started feelin' this strange sensation
My knees are startin' gettin' weak

Well I need what keeps a young man alive
I'm sayin' I need it now
I'm gonna get the message across to you
Some way, somehow

Chorus

In The Year 2525


In The Year 2525 Composer(s): Rick Evans First release by: Zager & Evans - 1969 Covered by multiple other artists Titels In Other Languages: 1969 - L'an 2005 (by Richard Anthony) 1969 - Nel 2023 (by Dalida)



In the year 2525
if man is still alive
if woman can survive
They may find

In the year 3535
Ain't gonna need to tell the truth, tell no lie
Everything you think, do and say
Is in the pill you took today

In the year 4545
You ain't gonna need your teeth, won't need your eyes
You won't find a thing to chew
Nobody's gonna look at you

In the year 5555
Your arms hanging limp at your sides
Your legs got nothing to do
Some machine's doing that for you

In the year 6565
You won't need no husband, won't need no wife
You'll pick your son, pick your daughter too
From the bottom of a long glass tube

In the year 7510
If God's a-coming, He ought to make it by then
Maybe He'll look around Himself and say"
Guess it's time for the judgement day"

In the year 8510
God is gonna shake His mighty head
He'll either say "I'm pleased where man has been"
Or tear it down, and start again

In the year 9595
I'm kind of wondering if man is gonna be alive
He's taken everything this old earth can give
And he ain't put back nothing

Now it's been ten thousand years
Man has cried a billion tears
For what, he never knew
Now man's reign is through

But through eternal night
The twinkling of starlight
So very far away
Maybe it's only yesterday

Need All My Friends


Need All My Friends
Composer(s): Allen Collins; Ronnie Van Zant
Performer(s): Lynyrd Skynyrd



Woman, I have to leave you
I can't stay where there is no pay
And I really don't care where I'm going to
Its been so long since I've been gone
Lord, I'm tired and I want to go home
My throat is raw from singing the blues
Need all my friends to talk to
Now yes I do need all my friends to talk to

Gonna search around til I find a friend
Who believes in me for what I am
Sing my song til it hurts
Play my music til I hit pay dirt
Now I got to sing my song
I got to play my music, do the things I love

Its been so long since I've been gone
Lord, I'm tired and I want to go home
My throat is raw from singing the blues
Need all my friends to talk to
Now yes I do need all my friends to talk to

In The Wee Small Hours Of The Morning


In The Wee Small Hours Of The Morning
Composer(s): David Mann; Bob Hilliard
First release by: Frank Sinatra - 1955
Covered by multiple other artists



In the wee small hours of the morning
While the whole wide world is fast asleep
You lie awake and think about the girl
And never ever think of counting sheep
When your lonely heart has learned its lesson
You'd be hers if only she would call
In the wee small hours of the morning
That's the time you miss her most of all

N'Écoute Pas Les Idoles


N'Écoute Pas Les Idoles
Composer(s): Serge Gainsbourg
Performer(s): France Gall



De toutes les chansons
Celles que tu retiens
Ne sont rien qu'un mot cruel
Sans lendemain

C'est la raison pour laquelle
Je n'aime rien
Rien de ce qui me rappelle
Tous ces refrains

N'écoute pas les idoles
Écoute-moi
Car moi seule je suis folle
Folle de toi

Ces chansons que tu fredonnes
Comment veux-tu
Que je les aime
Personne ne l'a jamais pu

Me faire croire que l'on se donne
À cœur perdu
Pour se quitter à l'automne
Bien entendu

N'écoute pas les idoles
Écoute-moi
Car moi seule je suis folle
Folle de toi

J'ai peur et je te résiste
Tu sais pourquoi
Je sais bien ce que je risque
Seule avec toi

Pourtant j'irai chez toi puisque
C'est comme ça
Rien que pour casser tes disques
Tu ne pourras

Plus écouter les idoles
Ça t'apprendra
Que moi seule je suis folle
Folle de toi
Folle de toi
Folle de toi

In The Wee Small Hours Of Sixpence


In The Wee Small Hours Of Sixpence
Composer(s): Gary Brooker; Keith Reid
Performer(s): Procol Harum



In the wee small hours of sixpence
and the lighted chandelier
stands a rusty old retainer
whose old eyes are filled with tears
for his master, Good Sir Galant
who is now off to the wars
And although his eyes are crying
we know grief is not the cause
And if grief is not the reason
he must be of sterner stuff
and his sword though old and rusty
must be blunt as sharp enough

In the wee small hours of sixpence
and the broken window pane
stand the remnants of the evening
who are waiting all in vain
for the crowing of the cockerel
showing morning is not night
But the air is filled with silence
and the daylight is not bright
But still darkness is no reason
We are men of sterner stuff
and our swords though old and rusty
still are blunt as sharp enough

In the wee small hours of sixpence
and the hat-stand in the hall
waiting only for the morning
shadows flitting 'cross the wall
And perhaps that old retainer
Whom now giving of his all
may have once been just as we are
and now has no face at all
But still grief was not the reason
he was made of sterner stuff
and his sword though old and rusty
still was blunt as sharp enough

Near You


Near You
Composer(s): Francis Craig; Rob Goellner
Performer(s): Roger Williams;
and various other artists



There’s just one place for me, near you
It’s like heaven to be, near you
Times when we’re apart, and I can’t face my heart
Say you’ll never stray, more than just two lips away

If my hours could be spent, near you
I’d be more than content, near you
Make my life worth while, by telling me that I’ll
Spend the rest of my days, near you

There’s just one place for me, near you
It’s like heaven to be, near you
Times when we’re apart, and I can’t face my heart
Say you’ll never stray, more than just two lips away

If my hours could be spent, near you
I’d be more than content, near you
Make my life worth while, by telling me that I’ll
Spend the rest of my days, near you

In The Valley Of The Nile


In The Valley Of The Nile
Composer(s): Dave Radford; Richard Whiting



Down where the Nile flows so dreamily where Cleopatra met Anthony
There's a sweet Egyptian maid who is waiting patiently
And in my dreams I seem to see here waiting there
There never bloomed a tropic flow'r so rare
I hear her calling plaintively "Come back, my love, to me!"

The moon shines bright on the pyramids
The lotus flowers have closed their lids
Thro' the bright Egyptian night I can hear her calling me
The dreamy river whispers to her of my love
The nightbirds sing a welcome from above
My heart is longing constantly
I'd give the world to be

Where the dreamy Nile is flowing
She's waiting there for me
Waiting thro' the lonely hours
There beside the lotus flow'rs
But she knows just how my heart is yearning to kiss her
I miss her own sweet smile
Someday my caravans will cross the desert sands
And take me to my dark eyed sweet heart
Down in the Valley of the Nile

Near The End


Near The End
Composer(s): David Gilmour
Performer(s): David Gilmour



And when you fell you're near the end
Will you just turn it over and start again
Is there a stirring in your heart
As the time comes when we will have to part?

And when you feel you're near the end
And there's a stranger where once was a friend
And you are left without a word
Only the whispers that you've overheard

Standing in silence, holding my breath
Disconnected and dry
And though I'm certain that there's nothing left
To hold on to, to give or to try
Some things never change, no don't ever change
And I'm feeling the cold
Thinking that we're getting older and wiser
When we're just getting old

And when you feel you're near the end
And what once burned so bright is growing dim?
And when you see what's been acheived
Is there a feeling that you've been deceived?

In The Valley Of The Moon


In The Valley Of The Moon
Composer(s): Jeff Branen
Performer(s): Jeff Branen
and multiple other artists



I hear you calling me, no use to sigh
Stop your worrying, I'll be hurrying
To you bye and bye
Night shades are gathering, I'll join you soon
We'll be strolling shortly, you and I
In the Valley of the Moon

In the Valley of the Moon
Where I met you one night in June
When I passed you by, thought I heard you sigh
While the night birds were in tune
I was lonesome, so were you
There was nothing for us to do
But to lose our hearts, both you and I
In the Valley of the Moon

I hear the nightingale singing his song
To his lady love, in her nest above
It won't be so long
Till I'll be warbling love's old sweet tune
To the only one I ever loved
In the Valley of the Moon

In the Valley of the Moon
Where I met you one night in June
When I passed you by, thought I heard you sigh
While the night birds were in tune
I was lonesome, so were you
There was nothing for us to do
But to lose our hearts, both you and I
In the Valley of the Moon
