Tell Me About It


Tell Me About It
Composer(s): Bill LaBounty - Pat McLaughlin
Performer(s): Delbert McClinton & Tanya Tucker
and multiple other artists



They say that there's a hole in the atmosphere
The things you think will last disappear
When you were ready to say I do
Somebody lowered the boom on you
Now you need a sympathetic ear

Tell me about it
Tell me about teardrops in the dark
Tell me about it
Tell me about your broken heart
You say you need someone to hold you tight
(You) can't stand another lonely night
Well come closer and
Tell me about it

Love isn't always true it hurts sometimes
Your tears will tell on you girl, I'm not blind
I know what you're goin' through
I graduated from that school too
If you need a shoulder cry on mine

Tell me about it
Tell me about teardrops in the dark
Tell me about it
Tell me about your broken heart
You say you need someone to hold you tight
(You) can't stand another lonely night
Well come closer and
Tell me about it

You took a lesson in playin' a fool
I graduated from that school too
If you need a shoulder cry on mine

Tell me about it
Tell me about teardrops in the dark
Tell me about it
Tell me about your broken heart
You say you need someone to hold you tight
(You) can't stand another lonely night
Well come closer and
Tell me about it

My Last Date (With You)


My Last Date (With You)
Composer(s): Boudleaux Bryant; Floyd Cramer; Skeeter Davis
Performer(s): Skeeter Davis
and various other artists



One hour and I'll be needing you
I know you're gonna make me blue
My heart is trembling through and through
'Cause I know very well
I can tell, I can tell
This will be my last date with you

Just can't believe that this could end
I know I'll never love again
You'll ask me to be just a friend
It's as plain as can be
I can see, I can see
This will be my last date with you

I know we had a quarrel
But all sweethearts do

I gave my love to prove to you
That I would always love you and be true

I know you've met somebody new
You'll tell me you and I are through
My plans and dreams cannot come true
And when you say goodbye
I know I will cry
'Cause I'll know it's my last date with you

Gossamer


Gossamer
Composer(s): Joan Baez; Nina Duscheck



When I was young then all my boughs
were thickly hung with glittering hopes
But one by one they've blown away
and only one remains today
It flutters out upon the air
one hope all pinned on gossamer

What are all lives but gossamer
in one lacy cobweb crossed?
Yet strand by strand we tear at it
until the pattern's lost
And one by one hopes blow away
till only one remains today

I hope the forest will return
to climb the mist-hung morning slopes
Where falling leaves deep-banked in fern
may meet the water ouzel's hopes
But one by one they've blown away
and only one remains today

And when the condor opens flight
on crystal air not cracked or stained
by any fallen angel's flight
these glittering hopes may be regained

When I was young then all my boughs
were thickly hung with glittering hopes
But one by one they've blown away
and only one remains today
It flutters out upon the air
one hope all pinned on gossamer

Tell Me A Story


Tell Me A Story
Composer(s): Terry Gilkyson
Performer(s): Frankie Laine & Jimmy Boyd



Junior:
Tell me story, tell me story
Tell me story, remember what you said
You promised me you said you would
You got to give in so I'll be good
Tell me a story, then I'll go to bed

Father:
Oh, worry, worry, weary ends my day
Time to go home without my raise in pay
Home by the fire where a man can just relax
Sippers there by the chair, not a worry, not a care
Along comes Junior swinging his little axe

Junior:
Tell me a story, tell me a story
Tell me a story, remember what you said
Tell me about the birds and bees
How do you make a chicken sneeze
Tell me a story, then I'll go to bed

Father:
Came home so late one evening last July
Played a little poker the time had passed me by
Shoes in my hand and my darlin' wife in bed
Up the stairs sayin' a prayer
Then a voice comes through the air ....

Junior:
Hi you there, Daddy
Remember what you said

Tell me a story, tell me a story
Tell me a story, remember what you said
Tell me how your eye got black
Because the doorway hit you back
Tell me a story, then I'll go to bed

Father:
Once upon a time I remember long ago

Junior:
Don't go back in history
Your memory's kinda slow

Father:
Stop your noisy talkin'
Until I finish with my tale
Once upon a...

Junior:
Upon a what...

Father:
Upon your back you'll get a swat

Junior:
Tell me about the fish you caught
That's was bigger than a whale

Junior:
Tell me a story, tell me a story
Tell me a story, remember what you said
You promised me, you said you would
You gotta give in so I'll be good

Father:
Here's a tale you'll never forget
(Tap, tap, tap)

Junior:
Ouch
My tails all red

Father:
And now get up to bed

Junior:
Ha, ha come on Daddy
Tell me a story
Hee, hee

My Lady Héroïne


My Lady Héroïne
Composer(s): Serge Gainsbourg; Albert W. Ketelbey
Performer(s): Serge Gainsbourg



Oh my Lady Héroïne
Oh ma beauté ma divine
Referme sur moi tes ailes
Mon bel ange ma toute belle

Oh my Lady Héroïne
Ma liaison clandestine
En douceur mon sucre candi
Emmène-moi au paradis

Oh my Lady Héroïne
Oh ma beauté ma divine
Toi mon amour platonique
Mon bébé ma fille unique

Oh my Lady Héroïne
Aussi pure que Justine
Tous les malheurs de ta vertu
Et tous ses bonheurs me tuent

Oh my Lady Héroïne
Dans ta beauté je devine
Quand ton regard me transperce
Tous les charmes de la Perse

Oh my Lady Héroïne
Mon opium ma cocaïne
Est-tu venue d'Extrême Orient
Ou bien d'un marché persan

Gorrión


Gorrión
Composer(s): J.M. Gallardo
Performer(s): Miguel Gallardo; Celoso



Gorrión, quién va a querer a un pajarillo como tú
gorrión, que siempre vas de corazón en corazón
gorrión, cuando tus alas en la noche estén perdidas
quién te va a querer, quién te va a ayudar... Gorrión
Qué será de ti, cuando yo no esté
quién te dará, cobijo y pan
Qué será de ti, cuando yo no esté
quién va aliviar, tu soledad
Gorrión, que como ella eres libre y poco fiel
gorrión, que como ella sólo buscas mi calor
gorrión, por qué te comes el amor que hay en mis manos
y echas a volar, y echas a volar... Gorrión
Qué será de ti, cuando yo no esté
quién te dará, cobijo y pan
Qué será de ti, cuando yo no esté
quién va aliviar, tu soledad
Qué será de ti, cuando yo no esté
Qué será de ti, cuando yo no esté
quién te dará, cobijo y pan
Qué será de ti, cuando yo no esté
quién va aliviar, tu soledad
Qué será de ti, cuando yo no esté
quién te dará, cobijo y pan
Qué será de ti, cuando yo no esté
quién va aliviar, tu soledad

My kinda love, your kinda love
Keeps me believing, although you're deceiving
My kinda love, one way to paradise

Tell me you love me and hug me and squeeze me

Tell me you love me and hug me and squeeze me
My kinda love, one way to paradise

Tell Me (Why Nights Are Lonely)
Composer(s): Callahan - Kortlander
Performer(s): Doris Day



Tell me why nights are lonesome
Tell my why days are blue
Tell me why all the sunshine
Comes just the one time when I’m with you

Why do I hate to go, dear?
And hate to say ‘goodbye’?
Now somehow it’s always so, dear
And if you know, dear, please tell me why?

Mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm
La-da, la-la-da-de

Why do I hate to go, dear?
And hate to say ‘goodbye’?
Now somehow it’s always so, dear
And if you know, dear, please tell me why?

My Kind Of Town (Chicago Is)


My Kind Of Town (Chicago Is)
Composer(s): Sammy Cahn; James Van Heusen
Performer(s): Frank Sinatra



Now this could only happen to a guy like me
And only happen in a town like this
And so I say to each of you most gratefully
As I throw each one of you a kiss

This is my kind of town, Chicago is
My kind of town, Chicago is
My kind of people too
People who, smile at you

And each time I roam, Chicago is
Calling me home, Chicago is
One town that won't let you down
It's my kind of town

My kind of town, Chicago is
My kind of town, Chicago is
My kind of razzmatazz
And it has, all that jazz

And each time I leave, Chicago is
Tuggin' my sleeve, Chicago is
The Wrigley Building, Chicago is
The Chicago Cubbies, Chicago is
One town that won't let you down
It's my kind of town

The Nashville Teens; Sheb Wooley



Jump in me old jeep wagon
Bump it to the banks of the river
Dig me a worm and a cricket squirm
And a-wade out into the water
Oh, goodbye google eye
Eat him up a-google eye a-google eye a-google eye
Eat him up a-google eye a-google eye a-google eye
Goodbye google eye

Bait me a hook in the morning
Throw him out into the water
Make him swim with a dorsal fin
And come home to me daughter
Oh oh goodbye google eye...

Google eye swim by me hipboot
Look up at me from the water
Google eye chomp and me fall on me romp
But me get him up out of the water
Oh goodbye google eye...

Google eye fry in the sizzle
Sweet smoke lay on the water
Take old google eye's scales 'n tails
Home to me daughter
Oh goodbye google eye
Ate him up a-google eye, a-google eye, a-google eye
Ate him up a-google eye, a-google eye, a-google eye
Good bye google eye

Tell Me


Tell Me
Composer(s): Tom Scholz
Performer(s): Boston



I stand on my own
And wonder if you've ever been alone with all the world around you
Say the word; I'd be there
And like a fool I'd go anywhere
Just like the day I found you
Tell me what you see
Tell me you believe in my love
Tell me what you need
Tell me you believe in my love
I don't understand what to say
You take my breath then you walk away
Your life goes on without me
And you can look right at me
But in your eyes it's a mystery
What do you fell about me?
Tell me if it's real
Tell me what you feel in my love
Tell me what you see
Tell me you believe in my love
Tell me what to give
Tell me I can live for your love
Tell me not to leave
Tell me to believe in your love
I don't really know what to say
I don't know how but I could learn to pray
If prayin' makes you hear me
I could stay on my own
And wonder if I'd have ever known
But I just want you near me
Tell me if it's real
Tell me what you feel in my love
Tell me what you need
Tell me you believe in my love
Tell me what to give
Tell me how to live for your love
Tell me what you see
Tell me to believe in your love

My Kind Of Music


My Kind Of Music
Composer(s): Edgar Leslie; Phillip Park
Performer(s): Sam Browne; Lew Stone



Roaring traffic, the tramping of feet
Lilting laughter from crowds in the street
That’s my kind of music
I want to go to town
Phone bells ringing, a pneumatic drill
Swing doors swinging, loose change in the till
That’s my kind of music
I want to go to town

Two lovers doing a spot of wooing
Inside a taxi creeping round the park
The elevators, the escalators
The roar of rush hour trains
And ‘mind the doors, pass down the car, please’

Give me rhythm, the best in the land
Let me hear that Palladium band
That’s my kind of music
The top of the world is London Town
I want to go to town

Goofus


Goofus
Composer(s): William Harold; Gus Kahn; Wayne King
Performer(s): The Carpenters;
and various other artists



I was born on a farm out in Ioway
A flaming youth
Who was bound that he'd fly away
I packed my grip
And I grabbed my saxophone
Can't read notes but I play anything by ear
I made up tunes on the sounds that I used to hear
I'd start to play, folks used to say
Sounds a little goofus to me

Corn-fed chords appeal to me
I like rustic harmony
Hold the note 'n change the key
That's called goofus
Not accordin' to the rules
That you learn at music schools
But the folks just dance like fools
They love goofus

Got a job but I just couldn't keep it long
The leader said I played all the music wrong
So I stepped out with an outfit of my own
Got together a new kind of orchestry
And we all played just the same goofus harmony
And I must admit, we made a hit
Goofus has been lucky for me

I must admit, we made a hit
Goofus has been lucky for me

Tell Mama


Tell Mama
Composer(s): Raymond Simmonds
Performer(s): Savoy Brown



Quit my job, aint got no money
Seems I have to leave this town
Packed my bags, run to the station
Board the train thats eastward bound

Tell Mama
And all the folks back home
Sometimes a man just feels
He's got to make it alone
Tell Mama
Why I'm leaving so soon
Because this life I live
Has got me sick through and through

Nothing to do, thats why I had to go
Seemed no use in hanging round
I can't stop now, the tickets in my hand
Board the train thats eastward bound

Tell Mama
And all the folks back home
Sometimes a man just feels
He's got to make it alone
Tell Mama
Why I'm leaving so soon
Because this life I live
Has got me sick through and through

Quit my job, aint got no money
Seems I have to leave this town

Tell Mama
And all the folks back home
Sometimes a man just feels
He's got to make it alone
Tell Mama
Why I'm leaving so soon
Because this life I live
Has got me sick through and through

My Kind Of Girl
Composer(s): Leslie Bricusse
Performer(s): Matt Monro
and various other artists



She walks like an angel walks
She talks like an angel talks
And her hair has a kind of curl
To my mind shes my kind of girl

Shes wise like an angel's wise
With eyes like an angel's eyes
And her smile's like a kind of pearl
To my mind shes my kind of girl

Pretty little face
That face just knocks me off-a my feet
Pretty little feet
Shes really sweet enough to eat

She looks like an angel looks
She even cooks like an angel cooks
And my mind's in a kind of whirl
To my mind she's my kind of girl

Pretty little face
That face just knocks me off-a my feet
Pretty little feet
Shes really sweet enough to eat

She looks like an angel looks
She even cooks like an angel cooks
And my mind's in a kind of whirl
To my mind she's my kind of girl

And my heart's kinda filled with joy
Because she told me I'm her kind of boy

Goody Two Shoes


Goody Two Shoes
Composer(s): Adam Ant; Marco Pirroni
Performer(s): Adam & The Ants;
Danny Dean & The Homewreckers; The Starlite Singers



With the heartbreak open so much you can't hide
Put on a little make up
make - up

Make sure they get your good side
good side
If the words unspoken get stuck in your throat
Send a treasure token
token
write it on a pound note
pound note
Goody Two
Goody Two
Goody-Goody Two Shoes
Goody Two
Goody Two
Goody-Goody Two Shoes
You don't drink
don't smoke
What do you do?
You don't drink
don't smoke
What do you do?
The subtle innuendos follow
There must be something inside
We don't follow fashion that would be a joke
You know we're gonna set them
set them

So evr'yone can take note
take note
When I saw you kneeling crying words that you mean
Opening the eye-balls
eye-balls
Pretending that you're Al Green
Al Green
Goody-Two
Goody-Two
Goody-Goody Two Shoes . . .
No one's gonna tell me what's wrong and what's right

Or tell me who to eat with
sleep with
Or foul up on the big fight
big fight
Look out or they will tell you you're a super star
Two weeks and you're an all time legend
I think the games have gone much too far
If the word's unspoken get stuck in your throat . . .
Don't drink
don't smoke
What do you do? . .
Don't drink
don't smoke
What do you do?
Don't drink
don't smoke
What do you do?
Don't drink
don't smoke
What do you do?

Ne Me Splitte Pas


Ne Me Splitte Pas
((Adapted from: Ne Me Quitte Pas (Simone Langlois) - 1959))
Composer(s): Jacques Brel - Hugo Poliart

Bronvermelding: http://www.13lignes.be (22 januari 2011)



Ne me splitte pas
Il faut négocier
Tout peut s'négocier
Qui s'enfuit déjà?
Oublier le temps
Des malentendus
Et le temps perdu
À savoir comment
Oublier ces heures
Qui tuaient parfois
À coups de pourquoi
Le conciliateur
Ne me splitte pas
Ne me splitte pas
Ne me splitte pas
Ne me splitte pas...

Moi je t'offrirai
Des tas de compromis
Un nouveau pays
Où on ne chôme pas
Je te laisserai des terres, et la Mer du Nord
Si on peut encore, y boire une bonne bière
Je ferai un domaine
Où l'emploi sera à toi
La sécu sera à moi
Mais on gardera la Reine
Ne me splitte pas
Ne me splitte pas
Ne me splitte pas
Ne me splitte pas...

Ne me splitte pas
Je te rédigerai
Des notes insensées
Que tu approuveras
Je te parlerai
De ces partis-là
Qui ont vu deux fois
Leur score augmenter
Je te raconterai
L'histoire de ce roi
Mort de n'avoir pas
Pu se reposer
Ne me splitte pas
Ne me splitte pas
Ne me splitte pas
Ne me splitte pas...

On a vu souvent
Rejaillir le feu
D'un gouvernement
Qu'on croyait trop vieux
Il est paraît-il
Des têtes brûlées
Prêtes à négocier
Jusqu'au mois d'avril
Mais quand je lis Le Soir
Avec Jan Bucquoy
Le rouge, jaune et noir
Ne s'épousent-ils pas?
Ne me splitte pas
Ne me splitte pas
Ne me splitte pas
Ne me splitte pas

Ne me splitte pas
Je ne veux plus voter
Je n'vais plus me raser
Je me cacherai là
À te regarder
Parler et sourire
Dans ma petite télé
Pour éviter le pire
Je veux bien grandir
Te tendre la main
Apprendre le latin
Et l'apprendre à mon chien
Mais Ne me splitte pas
Ne me splitte pas
Ne me splitte pas
Ne me splitte pas...
