Take 54


Take 54
Composer(s): Harry Nilsson
Performer(s): Harry Nilsson



It was take 54
When she walked through the door
With the red light on it
I knew in a minute
If I wanted to get in it
Then I'd have to get on it

I sang my balls off for you baby
I worked my fingers to the bone
I closed my eyes to get the high note
but when I woke up I was alone
Baby, baby come back
I need you to make a good track
Baby, baby come back
Baby, baby come back

Well I saw her today
Back in studio A
We were just gettin' started
I sang for a minute
She couldn't get in it
I felt broken hearted

I sang my balls off for you baby
I almost broke the microphone
I even sang the song that you wrote
But when I woke up I was alone
Oh! Baby, baby, come back
I need you to make a good track
Baby, baby come back
Baby, baby come back

High note
But when I woke up I was alone

Baby, baby come back
I need you to make a good track
Baby, baby come back
B-b-b-baby come back

Morning Comes Too Early


Morning Comes Too Early
Composer(s): Dennis Morgan; Kye Fleming
Performer(s): Jim Ed Brown



The night falls around us and you're in my arms again
For hours we'll just lie here and love
Wishing the night would never end

Morning comes too early
Nighttime ends too soon
Morning comes too early when I'm lying here with you

Your hair is soft on my pillow
Your lips are warm on mine
The whole world must be sleeping but I don't even want to close my eyes

Morning comes too early
Nighttime ends too soon
Morning comes too early when I'm lying here with you
Morning comes too early when I'm lying here with you

Girl Come Running
Composer(s): Bob Crewe; Bob Gaudio
Performer(s): Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons



Girl come running
Girl come running
Girl come running home

When you get tired of running around (runnin' around, all over town)
All of your friends putting you down (puttin' you down, all over town)
Don't do your crying alone (all alone)
Well baby....girl come running home

Some day you'll be feelin' so low (lower than low, nowhere to go)
Why don't you call on me girl, that's when I'll show (I love you so, I love you so)
Don't do your crying alone (all alone)
Hey baby.....Girl come running home

Was it so bad girl?
Just think of what we had
I need you so-o-o (come on baby, come on baby)
Don't ever go-o-o (come on baby, come on baby)

You're gonna get lost feelin' so blue (bluer that blue, baby it's true)
And don't you forget that I'm feelin it too (bluer than blue, baby it's true)
Well don't do your crying alone (all alone)
Whoa baby.....Girl come running
Girl come running
Girl come running home

Come on baby, Come on baby, Come on baby, Come on baby
Come on baby, Come on baby, Come on baby, Come on baby

Da' Ya' Think I'm Sexy?


Da' Ya' Think I'm Sexy?
((Adapted from: Taj Mahal (Jorge Ben Jor) - 1972))
((Finnish Version: Kelpaisiko Seksi? (Pentti Oskari Kankaan 7 Seinähullua Veljestä) - 1979))
Composer(s): Jorge Ben Jor - Duane Hitchings - Rod Stewart - Carmine Appice
Performer(s): Rod Stewart - 1978
and multiple other artists



Sugar, sugar

She sits alone waiting for suggestions
He's so nervous avoiding all the questions
His lips are dry, her heart is gently pounding
Don't you just know exactly what they're thinking

If you want my body and you think I'm sexy
come on sugar let me know.
If you really need me just reach out and touch me
come on honey tell me so
Tell me so baby

He's acting shy looking for an answer
Come on honey let's spend the night together
Now hold on a minute before we go much further
Give me a dime so I can phone my mother
They catch a cab to his high rise apartment
At last he can tell her exactly what his heart meant

If you want my body and you think I'm sexy
come on honey tell me so
If you really need me just reach out and touch me
come on sugar let me know

His heart's beating like a drum
'cos at last he's got this girl home
Relax baby now we are alone

They wake at dawn 'cos all the birds are singing
Two total strangers but that ain't what they're thinking
Outside it's cold, misty and it's raining
They got each other neither one's complaining
He say's I sorry but I'm out of milk and coffee
Never mind sugar we can watch the early movie

If you want my body and you think I'm sexy
come on sugar let me know
If you really need me just reach out and touch me
come on honey tell me so

If you really need me just reach out and touch me
come on sugar let me know
If you really, really, really, really need me
just let me know
Just reach out and touch me
If you really want me
just reach out and touch me
come on sugar let me know
If you really need me just reach out and touch me
come on sugar let me know
If you, if you, if you really need me
just come on and tell me so

Morning Blues


Morning Blues
Composer(s): Lightnin' Hopkins; Stan Lewis
Performer(s): Lightnin' Hopkins



You know I went down to my baby's house
fell down on my knees
crying please, please help poor me, help old me
She said, "Lightnin' I wished I was rich and you were poor"
The meals that you've been getting
I will see that you never get them no more
She's talking to me and I'm down on bended knee
Somebody help me, help me, please
You know I went to my house, wasn't nobody there but me
That was trouble, that was worry
Lord, Lord, like the whole world would see
Somebody please help me, I've been wondering about my fate
Her little smiling, baby, I can't see
Well I'm about to make it up in my mind to let her go ahead on
Baby, you go have a good time, while I walk my floor and moan
You may not miss me now, but you're gonna miss me when I'm gone
Well I just can't do nothing but cry
I just got to walk my floor and moan

Girl
Composer(s): Charles Fox; Norman Gimbel
Performer(s): Davy Jones



Girl, look what you've done to me
Me, and my whole world
Girl, you brought the sun to me
With your smile, you did it girl

I'm telling you girl, something unknown to me
Makes you what you are
and what you are is all I could ask for me
and its good to feel that way girl

Thank you girl, for making the morning brighter
girl for making the night time nicer
girl for making a better world for me

I'm telling you girl, something unknown to me
Makes you what you are
and what you are is all I could ask for me
and its good to feel that way girl

Thank you girl, for making the morning brighter
girl for making the night time nicer
girl for making a better world for me

Thank you girl, for making the winter warmer
Girl, for making the music softer
Girl, for making a better world for me
Repeat x1

Morning (Jim Ed Brown)


Morning
Composer(s): Bill Graham
Performer(s): Jim Ed Brown & the Browns



Here in this room, this narrow room
Where life began when we were young last night
I feel your back pressed close to me
And hear your steady breathing as you sleep
There's the first soft glow of dawn
The silver grey light played along the wall
I touch your hand and feel your ring
And know that this is all we'll ever have

Suddenly I look into your sleepy eyes
You breathe my name and it just seems to dangle there
Then I feel your fingers running through my mind
Jumbling up my thoughts to leave them tangled there

I know so well that this is all there is
And when we leave this room it's gone
My mind despairs as we walk down
The crooked little steps to the front door
A ray of sun that ricochets from off the rooftop
Lights our way
I touch your hand and feel your ring
And know that this is all we'll ever have

Suddenly I look into your sleepy eyes
You breathe my name and it just seems to dangle there
Then I feel your fingers running through my mind
Jumbling up my thoughts to leave them tangled there

Suddenly I look into your sleepy eyes
You breathe my name and it just seems to dangle there
Then I feel your fingers running through my mind
Jumbling up my thoughts to leave them tangled there

Suddenly I look into your sleepy eyes
You breathe my name and it just seems to dangle there
Then I feel your fingers running through my mind
Jumbling up my thoughts to leave them tangled there

Gira Y Gira


Gira Y Gira
Performer(s): León Gieco



Gira y gira la vida
siempre lucha el amor
dignidad de los pueblos
aunque gobierne lo peor

Gira y gira la historia
se repite el dolor
no es tu procer ni gloria
no le creo al perdon

Sol que me estas salvando
iluminan mi esperanza tus ojos claros
Sol me vas protegiendo
en este tiempo igual a los que ya fueron

Gira y giran los dias
tanta gente han matado
la mentira es la misma
para justificarlo

Gira y giran las horas
si me marcho no estoy
si no estoy ya no canto
sin cantar no soy yo

Morning (Chad & Jeremy)


Morning
Composer(s): Jeremy Clyde; Chad Stuart
Performer(s): Chad & Jeremy



The sun was bright, the winds were clean in the morning
My days are night and you're a dream in the morning
Since you said goodbye, I cry in the morning, but it's evening
All day long now you are gone
Since you're leaving me

Light is gone and birds fly home in the morning
My days are dark and I'm alone in the morning
Since you said goodbye, I cry in the morning, but it's evening
All day long now you are gone
Since you're leaving me

Still I wake and reach out in the night
I dare not look for fear I might
Find you're no longer there
Find the morning glare far too bright
Do you miss me in the morning like I miss you
Do you, do you, do you, do you

Till I'm with you once again in the morning
I will try to sleep again in the morning
People wonder why I cry in the morning
All day long now you are gone
Since you're leaving me

Over And Over; Roule S'Enroule
Composer(s): G. Petsilas
Performer(s): Nana Mouskouri



Al mattino grido perchè
Dopo il sonno vivo di te
Sento la vita intorno a me
Che mi riprende, che in me risplende

Gira rigira la vita così
Gira rigira più bella ogni dì
Gira rigira cantando cantando
Condizionando il nostro amor

Splende il sole negli occhi miei
Io t'aspetto e tu lo sai
E nel calore dei baci tuoi
Comincia il giorno, un altro giorno

Gira rigira la vita così
Gira rigira più bella ogni dì
Gira rigira cantando cantando
Condizionando il nostro amor

E la sera quando verrà
Tutta intorno risplenderà
La nostra grande felicità
Che si conclude e non delude

Gira rigira la vita così
Gira rigira più bella ogni dì
Gira rigira cantando cantando
Condizionando il nostro amor

Gira rigira la vita così
Gira rigira più bella ogni dì
Gira rigira cantando cantando
Condizionando il nostro amor

La lalala lalala lalala
La lalala lalala lalala
Lalalali lalilalala
Lalalala lalalala

La lalala...

Tainted Love


Tainted Love
Composer(s): Ed Cobb
First release by: Gloria Jones - 1965
Covered by multiple other artists



Sometimes I feel I've got to
Run away I've got to
Get away
From the pain that you drive into the heart of me
The love we share
Seems to go nowhere
And I've lost my light
For I toss and turn I can't sleep at night

Once I ran to you (I ran)
Now I'll run from you
This tainted love you've given
I give you all a boy could give you
Take my tears and that's not nearly all
Oh ... tainted love
Tainted love

Now I know I've got to
Run away I've got to
Get away
You don't really want IT any more from me
To make things right
You need someone to hold you tight
And you'LL think love is to pray
But I'm sorry I don't pray that way

Once I ran to you (I ran)
Now I'll run from you
This tainted love you've given
I give you all a boy could give you
Take my tears and that's not nearly all
Oh ... tainted love
Tainted love

Don't touch me please
I cannot stand the way you tease
I love you though you hurt me so
Now I'm going to pack my things and go
Tainted love, tainted love
Tainted love, tainted love
Touch me baby, tainted love
Touch me baby, tainted love
Tainted love

Mornin' Beautiful
It's morning and you're beautiful and
I just can't believe I'm laying here with you, girl
In my wildest dreams I've never thought I'd ever find
That one day I would wake up beside an angel

Mornin' Beautiful
Hey, look outside, the sun's a-shining
Every cloud is rolling back for you
You lay sleeping and my heart beats like the silver moon
I hear violins and angel voices singing

Mornin' Beautiful
Wake up, I've got some news to tell you
I'm in love with you and I want you to know girl
That I think you are the greatest love in all the world
And that you alone can bring my world together

I will never let you go, no
I love you, babe
More than you'll ever know
I love you, babe
And after lonely nights have fallen
You'll wake up and hear me calling
Mornin' Beautiful

In my wildest dreams I've never thought I'd ever find
That one day I would wake up beside an angel

Mornin' Beautiful
It's morning and you're beautiful and
I just can't believe I'm laying here with you, girl
Mornin' Beautiful
Hey, look outside, the sun's a-shining
Every cloud is rolling back for you

I only met you just a couple of days ago
I only met you and I want your lovin' so

`Tain't me baby gee I'm blue

Mornin' After Baby Let Me Down


Mornin' After Baby Let Me Down
Composer(s): Ray Griff
Performer(s): Jerry Lee Lewis



The alarm clock woke my sleeping but I lay there for a minute
With a million cobwebs clinging to my brain
I stopped that bell from ringin' in the times it takes a heartbeat
Then I settled back and closed my eyes again
I reached out for my baby for some early mornin' lovin'
Then the terrible truth came staggering through my head
There was just an empty pillow and the mem'ry of his kisses
Baby wasn't there beside me in the bed
It's the morning after baby let me down
It's the daybreak and the heartbreak that I found
Only silence to torment me no strong hands to touch me gently
It's the mornin' after baby let me down

There was nothing to hold on to but the sheets that fell around me
And I started into trembling like a leaf
How could he ever leave me he was more than just a lover
And he knew all the ways to make me feel complete
I can taste the salty teardrops God it's gettin' hard to swallow
Hope a glass of wine will take his love away
Got no appetite for eatin' just a sick and empty feeling
What a good for nothing way to start the day
It's the morning after baby...

Mornin' Mr. Radio
Mornin' little Cheerios
Mornin' sister Oriole
Did I tell you everything is fine...
In my mind

Mornin' Mr. Shoe Shine Man
Shine 'em bright in white and tan
My baby said she loves me and
Need I tell you that
everything here is just fine
In my mind

'Scuse me if I sing
My heart has found its wings
Searchin' high and low
And now at last I know

Mornin' Mr. Golden Gate
I should walk but I can't wait
I can't wait to set it straight
I was shakin' but now I am
makin' it fine
Here in my mind

My heart will soar
With love that's rare and real
My smiling face will feel every cloud
Then higher still
Beyond the blue until
I know I can
Like any man
Reach out my hand
And touch the face of God

'Scuse me if I sing
My heart has found its wings
Searchin' high and low
And now at last I know

Mornin' Mr. Radio
Mornin' little Cheerios
Mornin' sister Oriole
Did I tell you everything is fine...
Wooo in my mind

So, won't you get up Oriole
So, won't you get up Cheerios
Wake up Mr. Radio
....it's fine
Here in my mind

Singin' about mornin' little radio
Mornin' little Cheerios
Wake up Mr. Radio
Need I tell you everything
right here is just doing fine
