Noé


Noé
Composer(s): Étienne Roda-Gil; Julien Clerc
Performer(s): Julien Clerc



Ce soir c'est le Déluge
Le dernier, le plus beau
C'est la vraie fin du Monde
On a fait un bateau
On a pris des vermines
Un peu malgré nous
Il ne sauve rien
Celui qui ne sauve pas tout...

Noé, Noé, Noé...

On a pris des lentilles
On a pris des bijoux
On aimait ce qui brille
La nuit et qui rend fou
On a pris l'éléphant
Et ses deux dernières dents
Dernier éléphant
Premier million de cure dents

Noé, Noé, Noé...
Pourquoi t'es pas sur le bateau?
Noé, Noé
Pourquoi t'as troué la voile
Et le drapeau?

On a pris les castors
On a pris les oiseaux...
Et toutes les fourrures
Pour nous faire des manteaux
On s'est dit: les poissons
Ils resteront dans l'eau
Comment mettre une baleine
Tout au fond d'un bateau?

Noé, Noé, Noé...

On a pris des gazelles
Et même des manchots
Un couple d'hirondelles
Des putois, des blaireaux
Comme il faisait froid
Tout au fond du bateau
On a pris des menteurs
Pour dire qu'il fait chaud...

Noé, Noé, Noé...
Pourqoi t'es pas sur le bateau?
Noé, Noé
Pourquoi t'as troué la voile
Et le drapeau?

Comme on avait compris
Qu'on aurait pas de journaux
On a pris des mannequins
Pas trop maigres et très beaux
Des tonnes de maquillage
De dentelles, de maillots
Pour faire face à la plage
Quand il referait beau...

Noé, Noé, Noé...

On a pris des punaises
Pour les posters de Dieu
Ces rêves de camionneur
Qui nous pincent le cœur
Ce soir, c'est le Déluge
Le dernier, le plus beau
C'est la vraie fin du Monde
On a fait un bateau...

Noé, Noé, Noé...
Pourquoi t'es pas sur le bateau?
Noé, Noé
Pourquoi t'as troué la voile
Et le drapeau?

Noche Y Día


Noche Y Día
Composer(s): Cole Porter
Performer(s): Javier Solis;
and various other artists



Como las tamboras que se oyen por la selva resonar
como el tic, tic, tac del reloj que cuenta las horas al pasar
Como el repicar de la lluvia en un techo de metal
una voz muy quedo me repite tú, tú, tú

No soñé que tú al partir
noche y día sufriría tanto por ti
Por doquiera que yo voy
me persigue siempre tu querer
y pienso en ti sin cesar

Yo juré no recordar
nada que le diera penas a mi corazón
Y la vida pudo más
condenándome a padecer por tu querer sin piedad

Yo no sé si sufrirás también
pero si todavía quieres darme tu corazón
a mis brazos vuelve que
noche y día pasaré bendiciéndote por tu amor: no soñé

Noche De Angustia


Noche De Angustia
Composer(s): Victor Rafael Cordero
Performer(s): José Feliciano



Cuando te vi corazón y me engañaste
en una noche sin razón me abandonaste
no hiciste caso al escuchar que te gritaba
que si tu me abandonabas me mataba por tu amor

Aquella noche fue tan negra en mi agonía
que te esperé hasta que vi que amanecía
y en la neblina vi un farol que agonizaba
como aquel amor del alma que en silencio se apagó

Chorus:
Hoy que en la vida yo, yo no tengo a nadie
soy un perdido voy gritando por la calle
que si te vuelvo a ver, yo no sé que te diré
pero es muy fácil perdonar a una mujer
que si te vuelvo a ver, yo no sé que te diré
pero es muy fácil perdonar a una mujer

Solo

Aquella noche fue tan negra en mi agonía.....

Noche Criolla


Noche Criolla
Composer(s): Agustín Lara
Performer(s): Javier Solis;
and various other artists



Noche tibia y callada de Veracruz
cuento de pescadores que arrulla el mar
Vibración de cocuyos que con su luz
bordan de lentejuela la oscuridad

Noche tibia y callada de Veracruz
cuento de pescadores que arrulla el mar
Vibración de cocuyos que con su luz
bordan de lentejuela la oscuridad

Borda de lentejuela la oscuridad

Noche tropical, lánguida y sensual
noche que se desmaya sobre la arena
mientras canta la playa su inútil pena

Noche tropical, cielo de tisú
tienes la sombra de una mirada criolla
noche de Veracruz, noche de Veracruz

Noche Azúl


Noche Azúl
Composer(s): C. Espinosa; De Los Monteros
Performer(s): Javier Solis;
and various other artists



Bella imagen que soñé en mis noches de dolor
mensajera del amor dulce bien ven a mí
Si la senda del vivir mis pasos conduce a ti
oye la hermosa ilusión, mi única ambición será
grábalo así

Del castillo la tapia escalar
de la noche en la dulce quietud
tu perfume divino aspirar
ver tu juventud
tu frente besar

Blanca faz que extasiado de amor
a la luz de la luna miré
azucena de abril tierna flor
ángel que soñé mira mi dolor

Blanca faz que extasiado de amor
a la luz de la luna miré
azucena de abril tierna flor
ángel que soñé mira mi dolor

Nobody's Using It Now


Nobody's Using It Now
Composer(s): Victor Schertzinger; Clifford Grey
Performer(s): Maurice Chevalier;
Barbara Rosene; Larry Carr; Debroy Somers



Just look at me!
I think my heart will break
Nobody seems to take me seriously
Honestly, I'm just as lonely as a man can be

The rest mean nothing at all
And when the shadows fall
The moon is only wasting time on me
Candidly, there must be something awfully wrong with me!

I've a pair of arms, to hug and hold
But nobody's using them, now!
I've loads of love that could be sold
But nobody's using them now!

I've a world of time, that's all my own
They say that you go silly if you spend it alone
I'm telling the truth, I'm just wasting my youth
'Cause nobody's using it now!
No, no, no, no, nobody's using it now!

There's a bridal suite in gold and blue,
But nobody's using it now
I've learned to wear pajamas, too
What's the use of wearing them now?

I've sowed wild oats, I have indeed
But now that I've stopped sowing them, I'm going to seed
For years and for years, oh how great I did
But nobody's using them now!
No, no, no, no, nobody's using them now!

I've a big settee, with bed and springs
But nobody's using it now
Have some pleasing ways, and other things
But nobody's using them now

I'm a family man, who's out of sorts
I'm just a loving papa, who has read lots of poets
I've blushed to admit, I've still plenty of it
But nobody's using it now!
No, no, no, no, nobody's using it now!

Nobody's Ever Going Anywhere


Nobody's Ever Going Anywhere
Composer(s): Jeff Barry
Performer(s): Andy Kim; Jeff Barry



Oh the figures escalate
At an ever-growing rate
On the money that they burn to try to reach a star
Would be better if they try
To hang a mirror in the sky
So we could all look up and see how dumb we really are

And nobody's ever going anywhere
Anyway
No-how

Oh you just can't beat the plan
That was laid down by the man
It's all written in the book they keep in motel rooms
Oh I know you need a break
But you had your one mistake
And you made it on the day you left your mother's womb

And nobody's ever going anywhere
Anyway
No-how

If you don't like where it's at
I'm afraid that that is that
Cause it should be clear by now that no one's getting off
When you're born you start to grow
Live for eighty years or so
'less of course you die of gunshot wounds or smoker's cough

And nobody's ever going anywhere
Anyway
No-how

Well if I'm depressing you
It's depressing for me too
'Cause we're running out of time and love and subway seats
Though it may not be your style
You had better learn to smile
'Cause it's time to turn the mattress and to change the sheets.

And nobody's ever going anywhere
Anyway
No-how

And nobody's ever going anywhere
Anyway
No-how... (repeat and fade)

Composer(s): Mississippi John Hurt
Performer(s): Mississippi John Hurt; Jesse Colin Young



Nobody's dirty business how my baby treat me

Nobody's dirty business how my baby treat me

Nobody's Child


Nobody's Child
Composer(s): Mel Foree; Cy Coben
Performer(s): The Beatles (with Tony Sheridan);
and various other artists



As I was slowly passing
an orphan's home one day
I stopped for just a little while
to watch the children play
Alone a boy was standing
and when I asked him why
he turned with eyes that could not see
and he began to cry

I'm nobody's child
I'm nobody's child
Just like the flowers
I'm growing wild
I got no mummy's kisses
I got no daddy's smile
Nobody wants me
I'm nobody's child
No mummy's arms to hold me
or sue me when I cry
'cause sometimes I feel so lonesome
I wish that I could die
I'll walk the streets of heaven
where all blinds can see

And just like for the other kids
it will be a home for me

I'm nobody's child
I'm nobody's child
Just like the flowers
I'm growing wild
I got no mummy's kisses
I got no daddy's smile
Nobody wants me
I'm nobody's child

Nobody Wins


Nobody Wins
Composer(s): Kris Kristofferson
Performer(s): Frank Sinatra;
and various other artists



Anymore it doesn’t matter who’s right or wrong
We’ve been injurin’ each other much too long
And it’s too late to try to save what might have been
It’s over; nobody wins

Make believin’ in forever is just a lie
And it seems a little sadder each time we try
’cause it’s a shame to make the same mistake again and again
It’s over; nobody wins

We’ve gone too far, too long, too far apart
The lovin’ was easy; it’s the livin’ that’s hard
For there’s no need to stay to see the way it ends
It’s over; nobody wins

We’ve gone too far, too long, too far apart
The lovin’ was easy; it’s the livin’ that’s hard
For there’s no need to stay to see the way that it ends
It’s over; nobody wins
It’s over; nobody wins

Nobody Loves Me Like You Do


Nobody Loves Me Like You Do
Composer(s): James Patrick Dunne; Pam Phillips
Performer(s): Anne Murray & Dave Loggins;
and various other artists



(Anne)
Like a candle burnin' bright, love is flowing in your eyes
A flame to light our way that burns brighter every day
Now I have you
Nobody loves me like you do

(Dave)
Like a leaf upon the wind I could find no place to land
I dreamed the hours away, wondered every day
Do dreams come true?
Nobody loves me like you do

Chorus
(Both)What if I never met you?
(Both)Where would I be right now?
(Both)Funny how life just falls in place somehow
(Dave)You touched my heart in places
(Anne)That I never even knew
(Both)Nobody loves me like you do

(Dave)I was words without a tune
(Anne)I was a song still unsung
(Dave)A poem with no rhyme
(Anne)Dancer out of time
(Both)But now there's you
(Both)Nobody loves me like you do

Chorus
(Both)What if I never met you?
(Both)Where would I be right now?
(Both)Funny how life just falls in place somehow
(Anne)You touched my heart in places
(Dave)That I never even knew
(Both)Nobody loves me
Nobody loves me
Nobody loves me like you do-oo-oo-oo-oo
Nobody loves me like you do

Nobody Loves Me


Nobody Loves Me
Composer(s): Zeke Clements
Performer(s): Bill Monroe; The Bluegrass Album Band;
Zeke Clements; The Lost & Found



Nobody loves me nobody cares
If life is empty and full of tears
I've longed for true love searched everywhere
Nobody loves me nobody cares

Searching for true love has been in vain
Through years my heart has suffered with pain
Life's lonesome burden now I must bear
Nobody loves me nobody cares

Nights on my pillow I dream of love
Through space I gaze at the stars above
They seem to whisper from way up there
Nobody loves you nobody cares

A lonesome heart and a troubled mind
In this world now is all I find
I look to heaven for I know there
Someone will love me someone will care

Nobody Loves A Fairy When She's Forty


Nobody Loves A Fairy When She's Forty
Composer(s): Arthur Le Clerq
Performer(s): Billy Cotton; Tessie O'Shea



For years a fairy queen I've been
For years I foiled the Demon King
But alas I'm getting on the years have flown somehow
And I feel that Fairy Snowdrop isn't wanted now

Chorus
Nobody loves a fairy when she's [forty] fifty
Nobody loves a fairy when she's old

She may still have a magic power but that is not enough
They like their bit of magic from a younger bit of stuff
When once your silver star has lost its glitter
And your tinsel looks like rust instead of gold
Fairy days are ending when your wand has started bending
No-one loves a fairy when she's old

For years I reigned in Fairy Dell
I waved my wand and waved it well
If I can't do all I did Im satisfied because
I'd sooner be a Has-Been than I would a Never Was

Nobody loves....
Nobody loves..

The face of this Immortal One to many has appealed
But gone is the illusion once you've had it soled and heeled
When you've lost your little fairy dimples
And the moth holes in your dress let in the cold
The Goblins and the Pixies turn their backs and say Hi Nixey
No one loves a fairy when she's old

Nobody loves.....
Nobody loves.....

As far as I can see they try to push you off the map
When once your wand has withered and your wings refuse to flap
When you can't cast a spell without it spilling
And a fairy tale for years you haven't told
You stand there shouting What O.. but they all pass by your Grotto
Nobody loves a fairy when she's old

Nobody loves.....
Nobody loves.....

They don't give you an earthly chance to make a livelihood
Theyre building council houses now in my enchanted wood
When you are past the age for Television
And the air you use is government controlled
It seems that they would sooner
Listen to a blinkin' crooner
Nobody loves a fairy when she's old

Nobody Knows You When You're Down And Out


Nobody Knows You When You're Down And Out
Composer(s): James Cox
Performer(s): Bessie Smith;
and various other artists



Once I lived the life of a millionaire
Spent all my money, I just did not care
Took all my friends out for a good time
Bought bootleg whisky, champagne and wine

Then I began to fall so low
Lost all my good friends, I did not have nowhere to go
I get my hands on a dollar again
I'm gonna hang on to it till that eagle grins

'Cause no, no, nobody knows you
When you're down and out
In your pocket, not one penny
And as for friends, you don't have any

When you finally get back up on your feet again
Everybody wants to be your old long-lost friend
Said it's mighty strange, without a doubt
Nobody knows you when you're down and out

When you finally get back upon your feet again
Everybody wants to be your good old long-lost friend
Said it's mighty strange
Nobody knows you
Nobody knows you
Nobody knows you when you're down and out

Nobody Knows What I Am Thinking


Nobody Knows What I Am Thinking
Composer(s): Harry Hemsley
Performer(s): Harry Hemsley



To say exactly what I think
Dad says is impolite
Unless it's complimentary
That doesn't seem quite right
For when my aunt she starts to sing
You'd think she was in pain
And if I say "That's beautiful"
She starts to sing again

Nobody knows what I'm thinking
Every think that I think is my own
I guess I would get a good spanking
If the things that I think of were known
At home I've a new baby brother
He does nothing but gurgle and drink
They say he's an angel - and I say so too
But nobody knows what I think

Sometimes when we have visitors
There isn't half a scene
If I'm not extra tidy
And my hands are none too clean
My Daddy he gets vexed with me
But not until they've gone
He says he's quite ashamed of me
Because my clothes are torn

Nobody knows what I'm thinking
When sent to the bathroom to wash
I think lots of bad words, like "Dash it"
And "Blessed", and "Bother" and "Gosh"
Once I said "Rats", and my Daddy
He whacked me until I was sore
If he'd heard the bad words that I thinked of then
I bet he'd have whacked me some more

Nobody Knows (And Nobody Seems To Care)


Nobody Knows (And Nobody Seems To Care)
Composer(s): Irving Berlin



I'm sad and lonely
There's a good reason why
Nobody cares about me
That's why I'm sad as can be
I long for someone
Somebody, yes indeed
Lovin' kisses from one
Is exactly what I need

I'd love a sweetie
Hanging around the place
Someone to worry about
I'd never want to go out
My home is gloomy
Nobody's there that's why I feel "bride and groomy"
Can't you see it in my eye

Many's the time I feel so lonesome
But nobody knows
And nobody cares
I've grown so tired of being by "my own some"
I want somebody to hug
Cuddle and snug as comfy as a bug in the rug
Many's the time I feel like spooning
But nobody knows and nobody cares
I guess I'll make out a little "ad"
That I want some lovin so bad
'Cause nobody knows and nobody seems to care

Nobody Knows


Nobody Knows
Composer(s): Billy Squier
Performer(s): Billy Squier



I may get around...I may laugh alot...
Now you'd think that I'd be happy with the life I got
Nobody knows...nobody sees
Ain't nobody really knows the inner side o'me...

I may seem secure...I could have it made...
You might think you see a lucky man who made the grade
Nobody knows what dreams I see
Ain't nobody really sure just who they wanna be...

But everybody has a place and time...
A chance to live...a need to find
We all got somethin' that we care about
I propose you find it out...

It's not in a book...or a magazine...
Or the stars who guide our fortunes on the silver screen
Nobody knows...it's up to me
Ain't nobody who can say it like it outght to be...

I see my future at the rainbow's end
Happy hours...timeless friends
And if I ever chance to find my way
Rest assured...I will stay...

You may see your life as a compromise
You may live to find the promise dancin' in your eyes
Nobody knows...it's meant to be...
Let the magic of the moment say it all to me

Nobody I Know


Nobody I Know
Composer(s): John Lennon; Paul McCartney
Performer(s): The Beatles;
and various other artists



Nobody I know could love me more than you
You can give me so much love it seems untrue
Listen to the bird who sings it to the tree
And then when you've heard him see if you agree
Nobody I know could love you more than me

Everywhere I go the sun comes shinin' through
Everyone I know is sure it shines for you
Even in my dreams I look into your eyes
Suddenly it seems I've found a paradise
Everywhere I go the sun comes shinin' through

It means so much to be a part
Of a heart of a wonderful one
When other lovers are gone
We'll live on
We'll live on

Even in my dreams I look into your eyes
Suddenly it seems I've found a paradise
Everywhere I go the sun comes shinin' through

Nobody I know could love me more than you
You can give me so much love it seems untrue
Listen to the bird who sings it to the tree
And then when you've heard him see if you agree
Nobody I know could love you more than me
Nobody I know could love you more than me

Nobody Falls Like A Fool


Nobody Falls Like A Fool
Composer(s): Peter McCann; Mark Wright
Performer(s): Earl Thomas Conley



A heart isn't blind
It just sees what it wants to see
I hope yours is lookin' at mine
The way that you're lookin' at me
Well I've been around
I've taken chances before
But this time I'm hopin' for more
You're makin' it easy

Chorus:
Nobody falls like a fool
Nobody loves like a believe
After so many dreams have fallen through
It's time that one came true
Nobody falls like a fool
Nobody loves like a believer
And I'm fallin' 'cause I believe in you

I know you're afraid
Of the words we have spoken
There's been so many promises made
And so many broken
Oh but please don't hold back
I've already opened the door
And this time I'm hopin' for more
You're makin' it easy

(repeat chorus & fade)
