Mystery Achievement
Mystery Achievement
Composer(s): Chrissie Hynde
Performer(s): The Pretenders
Mystery achievement
Don't breathe down my neck no
I got no trophies on display
I sign them away
I mean what the heck
All of your promises
Don't fill me with pride no
I just wanna get out on the floor
And do the cuban slide, slide, slide, slide
But every day, every nighttime I find
Mystery achievement
You're on my mind
And every day, every nighttime I feel
Mystery achievement you're so unreal
Mystery achievement
Where's my sandy beach? yeah
I had my dreams like everybody else
But they're out of reach
I said right out of reach
I could ignore you
Your demands are unending
I got no tears on my ice cream but you know me
I love pretending
But every day, every nighttime I find
Mystery achievement
You're on my mind
And every day, every nighttime I feel
Mystery achievement you're so unreal

Now the wind has lost my sail
Now the scent has left my trial
Who will find me
Take care and side with me

Once more
Where is my star in heaven's bough
WHere is my strength, I need it now
Who can save me
Lead me to my destiny
Guide me home
Safely to my home
Once more
Guide me back
Safely to my home
Once more
But how can I go on?
How can I go on this way...

That Ole Devil Called Love
That Ole Devil Called Love
Composer(s): Alan Roberts - Doris Fisher
Performer(s): Billie Holiday
and multiple other artists
Someone's whisp'rin' in my ear, I say
no, no, go away, but he don't hear
he follows me around, builds me up, tears me down
I try my best to shake him but he just hangs around
It's that ole devil called love again
Gets behind me and keeps giving me that shove again
Putting rain in my eyes, tears in my dreams
And rocks in my heart
It's that sly son of a gun again
He keeps telling me that I'm the lucky one again
But I still have that rain, still have those tears
And those rocks in my heart
Suppose I didn't stay, ran away, wouldn't play
That devil what a potion he would brew
He'd follow me around, build me up, tear me down
'til I'd be so bewildered, I wouldn't know what to do
Might as well give up the fight again
I know darn well he'll convince me that he's right again
When he sings that siren song, I just gotta tag along
With that ole devil called love
He'd follow me around, build me up, tear me down
'til I'd be so bewildered, I wouldn't know what to do
Might as well give up the fight again
I know darn well he'll convince me that he's right again
When he sings that siren song, I just gotta tag along
With that ole devil called love

Mysterious People
Mysterious People
Composer(s): Adolphson; Shaper
Performer(s): Val Doonican
Children are people who live in a land
Made of raindrops and puddles and pebbles and streams
Silently watching a twig as it sails
On a clear crystal pool to an island of dreams
There go a pair who have just built a city of mud
And it's real
They know that mud doesn't look very pretty
But oh, how it feels
This little boy greets the snow with a smile
That little girl has discovered an isle made out of pillows
One little fellow is friends with the wind in the willows
All of them children and all are mysterious people
I can remember when I was a boy
That my bed was a ship that I sailed through the night
And I remember the world as a place
That was eager and loving and shiny and bright
Where is the boy who was friends with the rainbow
And once rode upon
Where is that shy and mysterious person
Oh, where have I gone
I can remember I once said my prayers
But now I stand by while my children say theirs
Watching them kneeling
And I could cry that one day they'll forget
All that they're feeling
Oh, what a shame that our children should grow into people

Guide For The Married Man
Guide For The Married Man
Composer(s): John Williams; Leslie Bricusse
Performer(s): The Turtles
What we need in the world today
Is a guide for the married man
Some simple thing that in every way
Would provide for the harried man
Help him not to worry
Assist him to relax
Help him slow his heart rate
And spare him cardiacs
Such a guide would in many ways
Turn the tide for the married man
Enable husbands to fill their days
As only the married can
Every man would praise it
It's such a splendid plan
Someday soon we shall point with pride
To the guide for the married man
By the side of the married man
'Tis the lady who shares his life
You help the bride of the married man
By removing the husband's strife
Every wife who's truthful
Who treasures married bliss
Must keep her husband youthful
What better way than this?
Each and every device we know
Must be tried for the married man
But who can question the debt he'll owe
To the guide for the married man
List things universal
From Pittsburgh to Japan
Every man can be satisfied
By the guide for the married man

That Old Wheel
That Old Wheel
Composer(s): Jennifer Pierce
Performer(s): Johnny Cash & Hank Williams
That old wheel is gonna roll around once more
When it does it will even up the score
Don’t be weak: as they sew, they will reap
Turn the other cheek and don’t give in
That old wheel will roll around again
When love is gone and the one you thought would stay
Does you wrong, and you’re left alone to pay
The price is high
But somehow you’ll survive, don’t give in
That old wheel will roll around again
That old wheel is gonna roll around once more
When it does it will even up the score
Don’t be weak: as they sew, they will reap
Turn the other cheek and don’t give in
That old wheel will roll around again
There’ll be times, hard to control
And you’ll find you’ll hurt down in your soul
There’ll be those who’ll be glad to see you down
But don’t give in, that old wheel will roll around again
That old wheel is gonna roll around once more
When it does it will even up the score
Don’t be weak: as they sew, they will reap
Turn the other cheek and don’t give in
That old wheel will roll around again
That old wheel is gonna roll around once more
When it does it will even up the score
Don’t be weak: as they sew, they will reap
Turn the other cheek and don’t give in
That old wheel will roll around again
Roll around, around, again, again

My Young And Troubled Days
My Young And Troubled Days (aka Pretty Shitty Days)
French Title: Mes Emmerdes
Composer(s): Charles Aznavour
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
Those were the days, hungry days, needing more, having less
I learned the game, wanting fame, and success
I left behind, as I climbed, as I raced against time
My pals, my gals, my young and troubled days
Those early years, selfish years, full of me, full of schemes
A foolish mind, running blind, chasing dreams
The bridges burned, bridges crossed, were the way that I lost
My pals, my gals, my young and troubled days
Crazy times I shared with all my pals
Burning love I made with all my gals
And the troubled days I now recall
Never could have been really so heavy at all
We shared the rough, and the tough, and the bills never paid
The give-and-take, each mistake, that we made
We had the drive, to survive, feeling great and alive
My pals, my gals, my young and troubled days
I'm not ashamed of myself, did the best that I could
I've got my health, and my wealth, fate's been good
On the whole, life is bliss, but somehow I still miss
My pals, my gals, my young and troubled days
All those careless days of fooling 'round
Weighing up the balance I have found
That the troubled days I now recall
Never could have been really so heavy at all
Those were the days, crazy days, crazy ways, gay parade
Times we crashed, getting smashed, getting laid
We had the steam, had a ball, had a dream, had it all
My pals, my gals, in those troubled, yet, wonderful days

Guess Who I Saw Today
Guess Who I Saw Today
Composer(s): Elisse Boyd; Murray Grand
Performer(s): June Carroll;
and various other artists
You're so late getting home from the office
Did you miss your train?
Were you caught in the rain?
No, don't bother to explain
Can I fix you a quick martini?
As a matter of fact I'll have one with you
For to tell you the truth
I've had quite a day too
Guess who I saw today, my dear?
I went in town to shop around for something new
And thought I'd stop and have a bite
When I was through
I looked around for someplace near
And it occurred to me where I had parked the car
There was a most attractive French cafe and bar
It really wasn't very far
The waiter showed me to a dark, secluded corner
And as my eyes became accustomed to the gloom
I saw two people at the bar who were so in love
That even I could spot it clear across the room
Guess who I saw today, my dear?
I've never been so shocked before
I headed blindly for the door
They didn't see me passing through
Guess who I saw today?
Guess who I saw today?
Guess who I saw today?
I saw you!

My Young And Foolish Heart
My Young And Foolish Heart
Composer(s): Al Lewis; Charles Tobias; Ted Murray
Performer(s): Doris Day
and various other artists
My young and foolish heart
Makes me do the things I shouldn't
That nine times out of ten
I wouldn't do
My young and foolish heart
Never lets me use discretion
In my manner of expression
Every time I'm with you
So, if my arms enfold you
While I speak of love
Remember what I told you
Upon my soul, I can't control
The recklessness of...
My young and foolish heart
Can be choosey and selective
But you're the one objective
Of my young and foolish heart
So, if my arms enfold you
While I speak of love
Remember what I told you
Upon my soul, I can't control
The recklessness of...
My young and foolish heart
Can be choosey and selective
But you're the one objective
Of my young and foolish heart

That Old Feeling
That Old Feeling
Composer(s): Lew Brown - Sammy Fain
First performance by: Virginia Verrill - 1937
Covered by multiple other artists
I saw you last night and got that old feeling
When you came in sight, I got that old feeling
The moment that you danced by, I felt a thrill
And when you caught my eye, my heart stood still
Once again I seemed to feel that old yearning
Then I knew the spark of love was still burning
There'll be no new romance for me, it's foolish to start
'cause that old feeling is still in my heart
There'll be no new romance for me, it's foolish to start
'cause that old feeling is still in my heart

My Yiddishe Momme
My Yiddishe Momme
Spanish Title: Mi Querida Mamá
Composer(s): Lew Pollack; Jack Yellen
Performer(s): Sophie Tucker
and various other artists
My yiddishe momme
Of things I should be thankful for I've had a goodly share
And as I sit here in the comfort of my cosy chair
My fancy takes me to a humble eastside tenement
three flights up in the rear to where my childhood days were spent
It wasn't much like Paradise but 'mid the dirt and all
There sat the sweetest angel, one that I fondly call
My yiddishe momme I need her more then ever now
My yiddishe momme I'd like to kiss that wrinkled brow
I long to hold her hands once more as in days gone by
and ask her to forgive me for things I did that made her cry
How few were her pleasures, she never cared for fashion's styles
Her jewels and treasures she found them in her baby's smiles
oh I know that I owe what I am today
to that dear little lady so old and gray
to that wonderful yiddishe momme of mine
My yiddishe momme I need her more then ever now
My yiddishe momme I'd like to kiss that wrinkled brow
I long to hold her hands once more as in days gone by
and ask her to forgive me for things I did that made her cry
How few were her pleasures, she never cared for fashion's styles
Her jewels and treasures she found them in her baby's smiles
oh I know that I owe what I am today
to that dear little lady so old and gray
to that wonderful yiddishe momme of mine

That Old Black Magic
That Old Black Magic
((French Version: Ce Diable Noir (Eddy Mitchell))
Composer(s): Harold Arlen - Johnny Mercer
First recording by: Glenn Miller and His Orch. - 1942
Covered by multiple other artists
Old black magic has me in its spell
Old black magic that you weave so well
Those icy fingers up and down my spine
The same old witch craft when your eyes meet mine
Same old tingle that I feel inside
Then the elevator starts it ride
Down and down I go
Round and round I go
Like a leaf caught in a tide
I should stay away but what can I do
I hear your name and I'm a flame
Flame, flame of desire
Only your kiss can put out the fire
Oh you're the lover I have waiting for
Your the mate that fate had me created for
And everytime your lips meet mine
Down and down I go
Round and round I go
In a spin, lovin' the spin I'm in
Under the old black magic called love
In a spin lovin' the spin I'm in
Under the old black magic called love
In a spin lovin' the spin I'm in
Under the old black magic called love
I should stay away but what can I do
I hear your name and I'm a flame
Flame, flame of desire
Only your kiss can put out the fire
Oh you are the lover I have waited for
Your the mate that fate had me created for
And everytime your lips meet mine
Down and down I go
Round and round I go
In a spin, lovin' the spin I'm in
Under the old black magic called love

My World Is Slipping Away
My World Is Slipping Away
Composer(s): Neil Sedaka; Howard Greenfield
Performer(s): Connie Francis
I tell myself our love will last
And yet I know it's just the past I'm clingin' to
I kiss the lips I know so well
One little kiss and I can tell you've been untrue
The more I try to reach your heart
The more it seems we drift apart, what can I do
Day by day my world keeps slippin' away
You find it hard to let me go
Because you think that I don't know the way you feel
I know you're tryin' to be kind
But yet it hurts me more to find you so unreal
One little look into your eyes
And I can see a thousand lies that you reveal
Day by day my world keeps slippin' away
The world we knew is almost gone
But I'll, I'll keep holdin' on
I know I'd wish you back again
If we could wander back to when you cared for me
The heartbreak that I'm feelin' now
Would change if you'd remember how it used to be
Please put the world back into place
Without your love I only face a memory
Day by day my world keeps slippin' away
Day by day my world keeps slippin' away

Guess I'll Hang My Tears Out To Dry
Guess I'll Hang My Tears Out To Dry
Composer(s): Sammy Cahn; Jule Styne
Performer(s): Frank Sinatra;
and various other artists
The torch I carry is handsome
It's worth its heartache in ransom
Now when that twilight steals
I know how the lady in the harbor feels
When I want rain, I get sunny weather
I'm just as blue, blue as the sky
Since love has gone, I can't get myself together
Guess I'll hang my tears out to dry
My friend ask me out, but I tell them I'm busy
I've got to get a new alibi
I hang around at home, and ask myself: "Where is she?"
Guess I'll hang my tears out to dry
Dry little tear drops, my little tear drops
Moving on a stream of dreams
My little memories, those precious memories
Remind me of our crazy schemes
Then somebody says, just forget about her
But I gave that treatment a try
Strangely enough, I got along without her
Then one day she passed me right by - oh well
I guess I'll hang my tears out to dry

Ce Diable Noir
Ce Diable Noir
((Adapted from: That Old Black Magic (Glenn Miller and His Orch.) - 1942))
Composer(s): Harold Arlen - Johnny Mercer - Charles Aznavour
Performer(s): Eddy Mitchell
"Ce diable noir
Qui nous prend, nuit et jour
Ce diable noir
A été, fait pour
Faire naître en nous d’étranges sentiments
Et nous plier, à son envoûtement
Sa main glacée vient nous frôler la peau
Allume en nous, une flamme, bientôt
Ce feu roule, roule en nous
Brûle, brûle tout
Comme un enfer
Fait du ciel sur la terre
On voudrait le fuir
Et tout oublier
Il nous pourchasse
Et quoiqu’on fasse
Il reste en nous, ce brûlant désir
Que seul un baiser
Pourrait apaiser
Le corps rompu
Et les membres brisés
Le cœur perdu
Et l’âme intoxiquée
Lorsque nos lèvres s’unissent enfin
Un feu roule, roule en nous
Brûle, brûle tout
Et l’on comprend, dans ce rêve trop court
Que ce diable noir, s’appelle l’Amour"
