My Lighthouse
My Lighthouse
Composer(s): Jarvis Cocker; Simon Hinkler
Performer(s): Pulp
Come up to my lighthouse for I have something I wish to say
It can wait for a moment; well in fact it can wait all day
I just wanted to bring you up here so you could have the chance to see
The beauty of this situation that you could share with me
It may seem strange to talk of love and then lighthouses
It's not strange to me
Hey All alone you and I in our high tower
That's the way to be
Some laugh at my lighthouse they say it's just an ivory tower
But I don't mind because I know their envy grows by the hour
See I have a purpose up here to guide the ships upon their way
All this is mine; it could be yours too what do you say?
It may seem strange to talk of love and then lighthouses
It's not strange to me
Hey All alone you and I in our high tower
That's the way to be
Hehehey hey

Hear all about it yak a yak-yak

Oh Mrs. Brown, well how are you now, I tell you

Don't talk to me, my Charlie has gone and fallen down the stairs

Poor old chap, did he hurt himself well, not as much as
Alf that's my cousin Fred's boy I learned from Fred
the doctor said, he'll have to have his kneecap scraped, gor blimey

Mrs. Booze, have you heard the news that woman
you know the very fat one down at the corner
Climbed in a truck, got stuck, they think that they never gonna get
her out, do tell me
Well I had a feller round and gave him a pound, to free her with an
oxyacetylene welder
Must send along some books, it looks like she's gonna be there quite
some time, cor blimey singing
Gossip calypso Gossip calypso
Hear all about it yak a yak-yak
Every woman up at the window
Giving out the gossip and getting it back
Oh Mrs. Ware I do like your hair who does it
I go to Madame Pom Pom round by the gas works
With all that fruit, it looks so cute, I can't believe it it's
really you, like a film star
Have you heard dear, a little bird has told me Mrs. Tate's expecting
her seventh
Well glory be, that's three, she's had since Lenny had his tonsils
out, cor blimey singing

My Life
My Life
Composer(s): Billy Joel
Performer(s): Billy Joel
Got a call from an old friend we'd used to be real close
Said he couldn't go on the American way
Closed the shop, sold the house, bought a ticket to the west coast
Now he gives them a stand-up routine in L.A.
I don't need you to worry for me cause I'm alright
I don't want you to tell me it's time to come home
I don't care what you say anymore this is my life
Go ahead with your own life leave me alone
I never said you had to offer me a second chance
I never said I was a victim of circumstance
I still belong
Don't get me wrong
And you can speak your mind
But not on my time
They will tell you, you can't sleep alone in a strange place
Then they'll tell you can't sleep with somebody else
Ah but sooner or later you sleep in your own space
Either way it's OK you wake up with yourself

Gossip And Second Gossip
Gossip And Second Gossip
Composer(s): Alan Jay Lerner; Frederick Loewe
Gossip
There's that wretched man
Louis DeLaTour
With his latest horrible amour
Isn't she a mess?
Isn't she a sight?
Let's invite them out tomorrow night
Honore Lachaille
Honore Lachaille
With another twinkle in his eye
Isn't it a shame?
Isn't it a crime
Seeing him so happy all the time?
There's Gaston Lachaille
With his little friend
Is that passion never going to end?
Did you see her ring?
Not a bagatelle!
Dear Liane is doing very well
Second Gossip
There's Gaston Lachaille
With his latest belle
She should keep him busy for a spell
Isn't she a dream?
Isn't she a dear?
Oh, if only dear Liane were here
There's Gaston Lachaille
There's Gaston Lachaille
With the latest apple of his eye
Where could she be from?
Do you know her name?
She's a little young to play the game

Tell Me Again
Tell Me Again
Composer(s): Jerry Crutchfield
Performer(s): Jeannie Seely
and multiple other artists
Tell me again how I'll soon forget you
And won't even think of your name
But this time go slow, for I want to know
Just how it is that I will lose this thing
Tell me again how there'll be another
And how that someone will take your place
Then tell me the part what to do with a heart
That still loves you, yes tell me again
Tell me how I'll no longer see you
Tossing sleeplessly through each night
Or when my mem'ry strays to a favorite day
When the world was ours and everything was right
Tell me again how I'll make it without you
And how I'll have time on my side
Then tell me the part what to do with a heart
That still loves you, yes tell me again

My Last Song
My Last Song
Performer(s): Country Joe McDonald
Well now the party's over
Food and dishes all put away
Family and guests are all off in their beds
Looks like the end of the day
Just you and I together
And I don't know what to say
It feels so strange, the same old game
Without a reason to play
Without a reason to play
I never shared the vision
In fact I've never known
From dawn to dusk relations rust
You stood it all alone
And there in all confusion
So big, so fearless, so bold
I tried so hard I almost died
But now I guess you know
But now I guess you know
They're boarding up the windows
The closets seem so small
The picture frames of mem'ry lane
Come cascading off the wall
And now the questions and the answers
Ring so hollow in my mind
The reasons change, the agenda fades
Up against the wailing wall
Up against the wailing wall
Melting all my anger
As I turn life a page
To make some sense, to feel repent
What to save and cast away
Now in the final chapter
Of the greatest story told
I see so clear through clouded tears
I don't want to see you go
I don't want to see you go
Well now the party's over
Food and dishes all put away
Family and guests are all off in their beds
Looks like the end of the day
Just you and I together
And I don't know what to say
It feels so strange, the same old game
Without a reason to play
Without a reason to play

Gosse De Paris
Gosse De Paris
Composer(s): Maurice Vidalin; Charles Aznavour
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour; Isabelle Aubret
Gosse de Paris
Pour s'embrasser
Nous n'avions pas de chambre
Pas de sous
Pas même un lit
Même cassé
Juste un coin d'herbe verte
Loin de tout
Mais c'était là que dans la nuit
Nous entendions crier les grands trains fous
Courant vers l'inconnu, courant sans nous
En emportant nos coeurs jusqu'aux îles
Gosse de Paris
On a pleuré
Sur le quai d'une gare
Mon amie
En dénouant
Nos mains, serrées
Sur toute une romance
De Paris
J'aurai pas dû m'en aller
J'aurai pas dû te laisser
Il fallait nous contenter
D'un bonheur de quatre sous
Rien qu'à toi
Rien qu'à moi
Rien qu'à nous
Tu sais
Gosse de Paris
C'était promis
Ni mon coeur
Ni mes lèvres
N'ont menti
Si je ne t'ai jamais écrit
C'est que la bonne étoile
M'a trahie
Crois moi j'ai fait ce que j'ai pu
Mais nous ne verrons pas l'île au trésor
Bien trop d'années me sont tombés dessus
Trop de temps loin de toi mais qu'importe
Gosse de Paris
Gosse de ma rue
Ombre parmi les ombres
Du faubourg
Je t'aime encore
Amie perdue
De ma première enfance
Mon amour

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

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

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

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
