Nothing To Declare


Nothing To Declare
Composer(s): Steve Hogarth
Performer(s): Steve Hogarth



A hundred thousand hearts a day
Are vacuumed in along these runways
In specks of iron from around the world
Drawn to the magnetism in this place
I've watched them land in the Heathrow haze
Through 'Nothing to Declare' into cars that speed away

I'm watching the aeroplanes comin' in
Waiting for a miracle
Watching the aeroplanes comin' in
Wonderin' if I'll see you again
Wonder if I'll see you again

I understand how you had to leave
You said 'back soon' and I must believe
My feelings haven't changed since that fateful day
You left me grounded and you flew away

Over my house into the clouds
To foreign lands in the sunshine
I watch the seven forty sevens climb
Over my house into the clouds
To foreign lands in the sunshine

I wave bye bye, bye bye,

A hundred thousand hearts a day
Come gliding down but they don't explain
An empty seat on a sold out flight
A year ago on an empty night
I watched you down but you never came
Through 'Nothing to Declare' like a sign hangin' on my name

I'm watching the aeroplanes comin' in
Waiting for a miracle
Watching the aeroplanes
Wonderin' if I'll see you... again

Over my house
My house

Nothing Takes The Place Of You


Nothing Takes The Place Of You
Composer(s): Toussaint McCall; Alan Robinson
Performer(s): Toussaint McCall;
and various other artists



I moved your picture
From my walls
And I replaced them
Both large and small
And each new day
Finds me so blue
Nothing
Takes the place of you

I read your letters one by one
And I still love you
When it's all said and done
And oh, my darling, I'm so blue
Because nothing
Oh nothing
Takes the place of you

I, I write this letter
It's raining on my window pane
I, I feel the need of you
Because without you
Nothing seems the same

So I'll wait
Until you're home
Again I love you
But I'm all alone
And oh my darling
I'm so blue
Because nothing
Oh, but nothing takes the place of you

Nothing Seems To Matter


Nothing Seems To Matter
Composer(s): Bonnie Raitt
Performer(s): Bonnie Raitt



Seems like such a long time since I held you in my arms
and felt you close and warm beside me
another night is getting late and I'm alone with just the ache
and the memory of you beside me

Darling, I've never been so blue
I've tried to see it through
there's nothing I can do
I won't make it on my own
so won't you please hurry home
'cause nothing seems to matter without you

Last time I saw you
there was nothing we could say
We knew it was a time for a change
a time to think you said that night
and I lied and said all right
I left you in the morning
I watched you in the window
and Mexico will never be the same

It was time to be apart
but somehow it seems this heart of mine
will never find a way to live without you
And now I'm out here on the road
and I'm feeling bought and sold
and tonight I just can't but think about you

Darling, I've never been so blue
I've tried to see it through
there's nothing I can do
I won't make it on my own
so darling won't you hurry home
because nothing seems to matter without you
No, nothing seems to matter without you

Nothing Is Real But The Girl


Nothing Is Real But The Girl
Composer(s): Jimmy Destri
Performer(s): Blondie



Some days are all Mondays
Sort of time on ice
It seems like jet planes
On snowed in runways
Under clear blue skies
Who needs it?

Nothing is real but the girl
Nothing is real but her
Money goes to money
In a figure eight around me
Mommy
Who's gonna love me if I liquidate and drown me?

Nothing is real but the girl
Nothing else feels solid
We believe in love
We believe in little things
Like heaven up above and seven it's a lucky number
We believe that something lives inside every thing there is
Don't think about it much

I mean it
I believe it
I believe it
Wind down
Put your mind down
Like your missing school
You'll teach her to find out
While your dying
In your living room
How much you need her
Nothing is real but the girl
Only her eyes are solid
Nothing is real but her
Nothing is real but the girl

Nothing I Can Do About It Now


Nothing I Can Do About It Now
Composer(s): Beth Nielsen Chapman
Performer(s): Willie Nelson



I've got a long list of real good reasons
For all the things I've done
I've got a picture in the back of my mind
Of what I've lost and what I've won
I've survived every situation
Knowing when to freeze and when to run
And regret is just a memory, written on my brow
And there's nothing I can do about it now!
I've got a wild and a restless spirit
I've held my price through every deal
I've seen the fire of a woman scorned
turn her heart of gold to steel
I've got the song of the voice inside me
set to the rhythm of the wheel
An' I been dreamin' like a child
since the cradle broke the bough
And there's nothin' I can do about it now!

(Chorus)

Runnin' through the changes
Goin' through the stages
Comin' round the corners in my life
Leavin' doubt to fate
Stayin' out too late
Waitin' for the moon to say goodniiiigh-hi-hi-hite
And I could cry for the time I've wasted
But that's a waste of time and tears
And I know just what I'd change
If I went back in time somehow
But there's nothing I can do about it

(Repeat Chorus)

I'm forgiving everything that forgiveness will allow
And there's nothin' I can do about it now!!

Nothing Compares To You


Nothing Compares To You
Composer(s): Prince
Performer(s): Prince



It’s been seven hours and fifteen days
Since you took your love away
I go out every night and sleep all day
Since you took your love away
Sice you’ve been gone, I can do whatever I want
I can see whoever I choose
I can eat my dinner in a fancy restaurant
But nothing, I said nothing can take away these blues
Because nothing compares, nothing compares to you

It’s been so lonely without you here
Like a bird without a song
Nothing can stop these lonely tears from falling
Tell me baby, where did I go wrong?
I can put my arms around every boy I see
But they only remind me of you

I went to the doctor and guess what he told me, guess what he told me
He said, “Girl, you’d better try to have some fun no matter what you do”
But he’s a fool
Because nothing compares to you

All the flowers that you planted momma, in the backyard
All died and withered away
I know that living with you baby was sometimes hard
But I’m willing to try to give it another try

Nothing compared, nothing compares to you
Nothing compared, nothing compares to you
Nothing compared, nothing compares to you

Nothing Can Change This Love


Nothing Can Change This Love
Composer(s): Sam Cooke
Performer(s): Sam Cooke;
and various other artists



If I go a million miles away
I'd write a letter each and every day
'Cause honey, nothin'
Nothin' can ever change this love I have for you, ooo
Make me weep and you can make me cry
See me comin' and you can pass me by
But honey, nothin'
Nothin' can ever change this love I have for you, wo oh

You're the apple of my eye, you're cherry pie
And oh yeah, you're cake and ice cream
Oh you're sugar and spice and everything nice
You're the girl of my my my my dreams
But if you wanted to leave me and roam
When you got back, I'd just say welcome home
'Cause honey, nothin', nothin'
Nothin' can ever change this love I have for you, no oh

(Instrumental Break)

I know I know I know I know I know that nothin', nothin'
Nothin' can ever change the love I have for you

Nothing But Heartaches


Nothing But Heartaches
Composer(s): Brian Holland; Lamont Dozier; Edward Holland Jr.
Performer(s): Diana Ross & The Supremes



Nothing but heartaches
Ooh, nothing but heartaches
He brings nothing but heartaches
I can't break away from his arms
I can't break away from his charms
I can't break away from his kiss
'Cause his kiss I'll shouldn't miss

All my life
I needed someone to need me
So I do my very best to please him
But the more and more I care
The more of him other girls share
When I need a hand to hold
That's the time he leaves me all alone
Just keeps me, keeps me crying myself to sleep

He brings nothing but heartaches
Ooh, nothing but heartaches
But I can't break away
Oh, no keep a loving him more each day
Oh, I can't break away from his arms
I can't break away from his charms
I can't break away from his kiss
'Cause his kiss I'll shouldn't miss

To him I'm loyal, to him I'm true
Why can't he be the same way too
But the more my love has grown
The less love he had shown

He makes promisses he doesn't keep
Sometimes I don't see him all week
Just keeps me, keeps me crying myself to sleep

He brings nothing but heartaches
Ooh, nothing but heartaches
But I can't break away
Oh, no keep a loving him more each day
Oh, I can't break away from his arms
I can't break away from his charms
I can't break away from his kiss
'Cause his kiss I'll shouldn't miss

Nothing but heartaches
Ooh, nothing but heartaches
I can't break away, oh no
Keep a loving him more each day

Nothin' Shakin'


Nothin' Shakin'
Performer(s): Craig Douglas & Doug Sheldon; The Beatles



I tried to find out
what love is all about
and every day
it sure lets out
I see my baby
I get week in my knees
There's nothing shaking
but the leaves on the trees
My pappie told me
there'd be times like these
There's nothing shaking
but the leaves on the trees
We meet the gang
and go to rocking Joes
The cats are something
on the heels and toes
I grab my baby
tried to give her a squeeze
There's nothing shaking
but the leaves on the trees
Why must she be
such a doggone tease?
There's nothing shaking
but the leaves on the trees
She's got a way
that makes me act like a fool
Spent my money
then she plays me cool
I beg her for kisses
on my bended knees
Oh won't you give me
some loving, baby
please please please
Though I keep trying hard
to make her mine
one day the wind will blow
and the sun will shine
Till that time
she puts my heart at ease
There's nothing shaking
but the leaves on the trees
She locked my heart
and threw away the keys
There's nothing shaking
but the leaves on the trees, yeah
She's got a way
that makes me act like a fool
Spent my money
then she plays me cool
I'm begging her for kisses
on my bended knees
Oh won't you give me
some of your loving, baby
please please please
Though I keep trying hard
to make her mine
one day the wind will blow
and the sun will shine
Till that time
she puts my heart at ease
There's nothing shaking
but the leaves on the trees
She locked my heart
and threw away the keys
There's nothing shaking
but the leaves on the trees
There's nothing shaking
but the leaves on the trees
There's nothing shaking
but the leaves on the trees
There's nothing shaking
but the leaves on the trees

Nothin' But You


Nothin' But You
Composer(s): Steve Earle
Performer(s): Steve Earle;
Hillbilly Moon Explosion; Robin Lee



Daddy used to tell me "Don't you drag your feet"
"Never seen a good intention that a man could eat"
Well, I got about a million things I need to do
I don't wanna think about nothin' but you

Everybody talk about Maybellene
Yellow Rose Of Texas and the Sweet Sixteen
Well, I don't wanna hear about no Peggy Sue
I don't wanna think about nothin' but you

I don't need no money, no fancy car
House up on the hill where all the rich folks are
Well, they can have the whiskey, keep the cocaine, too
I don't wanna think about nothin' but you

Everybody talk about Maybellene
Yellow Rose Of Texas and the Sweet Sixteen
Well, I don't wanna hear about no Peggy Sue
I don't wanna think about nothin' but you

Everybody talk about Maybellene
Yellow Rose Of Texas and the Sweet Sixteen
Well, I don't wanna hear about no Peggy Sue
I don't wanna think about nothin' but you

Nothin' At All


Nothin' At All
Composer(s): Mark Mueller
Performer(s): Heart



I would walk home every evening
Through the pyramids of light
I would feed myself on silence
Wash it down with empty nights

Then your innocent distractions
Hit me so hard
My emotional reaction
Caught me off guard

It was nothing at all
Like anything I had felt before
And it was nothing at all
Like I thought no it's so much more
No one else has ever made
Me feel this way
When I asked you how you did it
You just say
It was nothing at all

Now I walk home every evening
And my feet are quick to move
Cause I know my destination
Is a warm and waiting you

From our first communication
It was clear
Any thought of moderation
Would soon disappear

It was nothing at all
Like anything I had felt before
And it was nothing at all
Like I thought no, it's so much more
No one else has ever made
Me feel this way
when I asked you how you did it
You just sayIt was nothing at all

Then your innocent distractions
Hit me so hard
My emotional reaction
Caught me off guard

It was nothing at all
Like anything I had felt before
And it was nothing at all
Like I thought no, it's so much more
No one else has ever made
Me feel this way
When I asked you how you did it
You just say
It was nothing at all

It was nothing at all
It was nothing at all
It was nothing at all
It was nothing at all
It was nothing at all
It was nothing at all

Not Yet


Not Yet
Composer(s): P.G. Wodehouse; Jerome Kern



I cannot see what need there can be
For any other people in the world but you and me
Yes, go where we may
They get in our way
I wish we could contrive it
Now and then to get a word in private!

Each time I start to pour out my heart
Some tactless person comes along and we are driven apart
Life might be, my pet
A lovely duet
But all these folks who bore us
Seem to think that we require a chorus

Oh dear! won't it just be splendid
In the time that's coming soon
When, this weary waiting ended
We start our honeymoon
None near us to see or hear us
The whole wide world we will forget
Oh, what joy to stay in your arms all day
But not yet um-m
Not yet

Not To Touch The Earth


Not To Touch The Earth
Composer(s): John Densmore;
Robbie Krieger; Ray Manzarek; Jim Morrison
Performer(s): The Doors



Not to touch the earth
Not to see the sun
Nothing left to do, but
Run, run, run
Let's run
Let's run

House upon the hill
Moon is lying still
Shadows of the trees
Witnessing the wild breeze
C'mon baby run with me
Let's run

Run with me
Run with me
Run with me
Let's run

The mansion is warm, at the top of the hill
Rich are the rooms and the comforts there
Red are the arms of luxuriant chairs
And you won't know a thing till you get inside

Dead president's corpse in the driver's car
The engine runs on glue and tar
Come on along, not goin' very far
To the East to meet the Czar

Run with me
Run with me
Run with me
Let's run

Whoa!

Some outlaws lived by the side of a lake
The minister's daughter's in love with the snake
Who lives in a well by the side of the road
Wake up, girl, we're almost home

Ya, c'mon!

We should see the gates by mornin'
We should be inside the evenin'

Sun, sun, sun
Burn, burn, burn
Soon, soon, soon
Moon, moon, moon
I will get you
Soon!
Soon!
Soon!

I am the Lizard King
I can do anything

Not Over You Yet
Composer(s): Malik Pendelton; Kenneth "Wally" Kelly
Performer(s): Diana Ross



You were the first who ever brought me out
Showed me what life and love was all about
Gave me things that I never need
You're in my thoughts, my every dream

I found joy in your touch, I miss your kisses
The way you made me blush
Life is cruel now that you're gone
I love you so I can't let go, yeah

Not over you yet
Not trying to forget
The way that you loved me
Not over you yet
Not trying to forget
The way that you loved me

I hate you so for what you done to me
Made me fall in love with no security
I gotta move on move on my life
But it's so hard when you're still on my mind

I found joy in your touch
I miss your kisses the way you made me blush
Life is cruel now that you're gone
I love you so I can't let go
I'm crazy for you

Not over you yet
Not trying to forget
The way that you loved me
Not over you yet
Not trying to forget
The way that you loved me

Not One Minute More


Not One Minute More
Composer(s): Don Robertson; Hal Blair; Lucille "Lou" Dinning
Performer(s): Della Reese;
Earl Grant; The Isley Brothers; Don Robertson



I'll only love you
as long as the sea
rolls on endlessly
to the shore
I'll love you til then
Not one minute more

I'll only love you
til there's only night
and the sun
the sun gives no light as before
I'm gonna love you til then
Not one minute more

I'm yours, heart and soul, I'm yours
And all that I'll ever possess
But if you should say to me
Will you always be
I'll just have to confess

I'll only love you
as long as the beat
the beat of my heart
can rest me still once more
I can love you til then
Not one minute more
I know I can love you til then
Not one minute more

Not Mine


Not Mine
(aka It's Somebody Else's Moon Above, Not Mine)
Composer(s): Victor Schertzinger; Johnny Mercer
Performer(s): Peggy Lee;
and various other artists



It's somebody else's moon above, not mine
It's somebody else's night for love, not mine
A heart to someone else is a thing that melts
To me it's just a comic Valentine
Let somebody else's tear be shed, not mine
Let somebody else's nose get red, not mine
I like playing solitaire
But until I can draw a pair
It's somebody else's moon up there, not mine

Not Me


Not Me
Composer(s): King Radio; Don Raye
Performer(s): Robert Mitchum



Let’s put woman and man together
To find out which one is smarter
Some say ‘men’, but I say No
The women play the men like a puppet show

Not me – it is the people who say
That the men are leading the women astray
But I say that the women of today
Smarter than men in every way
They’re smart – they’re clever chicks
They’re smart – with crazy tricks
They got no mercy in their heart
They’re smart – intelligent

Ever since the world began
Woman was always fooling man
And if you listen to me, attentively
I want to show you how the woman’s smarter than me

Not me – it is the people who say
That the men are leading the women astray
But I say that the women of today
Smarter than men in every way
They’re smart, they’re clever chicks
Oh they’re sharp with clever tricks
They got no mercy in their heart
They’re smart – they’re pretty shrewd

Samson was the strongest man long ago
Nobody could beat him, that we all know
And when he clashed with Delilah, like soldiers said
She found that the strength was in the hair of the head

Not me – it is the people who say
That the men are leading the women astray
But I say that the women of today
Smarter than men in every way

Now I had a little girl named Doraldee
She marry me independently
She was saving the money all the time
And then she ran to Cuba with a friend of mine

Not me, it is the people who say
That the men are leading the women astray
But I say that the women of today
Smarter than men in every way
They’re smart – they’re clever chicks
They’re smart – with crazy tricks
They got no mercy in their hearts
They smart – they intelligent, man

Had another girl named Emilee
She promised that she would marry with me
But then she put me in jail and when I go to see
I find that she already married to two or three

Not me - it is the people who say
That the men are leading the women astray
But I say that the women of today
Smarter than men in every way

Not Guilty


Not Guilty
Composer(s): George Harrison
Performer(s): The Beatles



Not guilty
for getting in your way
while you're trying to steal the day
Not guilty
and I'm not here for the rest
I'm not trying to steal your vest

I am not trying to be smart
I only want what I can get
I'm really sorry for your ageing head
But like you heard me said
not guilty

No use handing me a writ
while I'm trying to do my bit

I don't expect to take your heart
I only want what I can get
I'm really sorry that you're underfed
But like you heard me said
not guilty

Not guilty
for looking like a freak
making friends with every Sikh
Not guilty
for leading you astray
on the road to Mandalay

I won't upset the apple cart
I only want what I can get
I'm really sorry that you've been misled
But like you heard me said
not guilty

Not For Me


Not For Me
Composer(s): Bobby Darin
Performer(s): Bobby Darin; Sammy Davis Jr.; Timco



Ballads are being sung
But not for me
Church bells are being rung
But not for me
I am without love
But I don't doubt love can be
Warm and tender for some
But not for me
Poems are being read
But not for me
Prayers are being said
But not for me
I've never known love
Or been shown love, you see
And maybe there is such a thing
But not for me
So let all of your singers sing
But not for me
And let all of your church bells ring
But not for me
And if tomorrow
All your sorrows should be
Just like mine then you cry
But not for me
No, not me
Never for me
