One staff officer jumped right over another staff officer's back
And another staff officer jumped right over that other staff officer's back
A third staff officer jumped right over two other staff officers' backs
And a fourth staff officer jumped right over all the other staff officers' backs
They were only playing leapfrog
They were only playing leapfrog
They were only playing leapfrog
When one staff officer jumped right over another staff officer's back
Walked in Line Composer(s): Bernard Sumner - Peter Hook - Stephen Morris - Ian Curtis First release by: Joy Division - 1981 Covered by multiple other artists
All dressed in uniforms so fine They drank and killed to pass the time Wearing the shame of all their crimes With measured steps they walked in line They walked in line
They carried pictures of their wives And numbered tags to prove their lies And made it through the whole machine With dirty hearts and hands washed clean They walked in line
Full of a glory never seen They made it through the whole machine To never question any more Hypnotic trance - they never saw They walked in line -- They walked in line
They Should Have Given You The Oscar Composer(s): Gerry Goffin - Carole King Performer(s): James Darren
I'd like to contest the awards given out by the academy 'Cause I know of a great performance that the judges didn't see
They should have given you the oscar For the way you went and broke my heart There's no name that you could mention Who'd have done quite as much with a part
And just for the way you said you loved me And the way you made each lie sound sincere Oh, they should have given you the oscar For the best performance of the year
If the critics could have seen Your acting on the screen I'm sure they would have cried as much as I You knew your lines so well How was I supposed to tell That all along you loved another guy?
They should have given you the oscar For the scene where you promised to be true Every word was so convincing Any audience would fall in love with you
And just for the way you said you loved me And the way you made each lie sound sincere Oh, they should have given you the oscar For the best performance of the year
Yeah they should have given you the oscar For the best performance of the year...
Yeah they should have given you the oscar For the best performance of the year

If you want this choice position Have a cheery disposition Rosy cheeks, no warts Play games, all sorts
You must be kind, you must be witty Very sweet and fairly pretty Take us on outings, give us treats Sing songs, bring sweets
Never be cross or cruel Never give us castor oil or gruel Love us as a son and daughter And never smell of barley water
If you won't scold and dominate us We will never give you cause to hate us We won't hide your spectacles so you can't see Put toads in your bed or pepper in your tea

The People That You Never Get To Love Composer(s): Rupert Holmes Performer(s): Rupert Holmes
You're browsing through a second hand bookstore And you see her in non-fiction V through Y She looks up from World War Two And then you catch her catching you catching her eye And you quickly turn away your wishful stare And take a sudden interest in your shoes If you only had the courage, but you don't She turns and leaves and you both lose
And you think about The people that you never get to love It's not as if you even have the chance So many worth a second life But rarely do you get a second glance Until fate cuts in on your dance
And you'll see her on a train that you've just missed At a bus stop where your bus will never stop Or in a passing Buick when you've been pulled over by a traffic cop Or you'll share an elevator, just you two And you'll rise in solemn silence to your floor Like the fool you are you get off And she leaves your life behind a closing door
And you think about The people that you never get to love The poem you intended to begin The saddest words that anyone has ever said Are "Lord what might have been" But noone said you get to win
Still you're never gonna miss what you don't know And you don't know who you'll meet at half past three It could be a total stranger who looks something just exactly much like me
One of the people that you never get to love One of the people that you never get to love The people that you nver get to love
Oh, How Much I Love You ((Adapted from: Dio, Come Ti Amo (Domenico Modugno) - 1966)) Composer(s): Domenico Modugno - Paul Vance - Lee Pockriss Performer(s): Domenico Modugno - 1966 and multiple other artists
Versions In Other Languages: 1966 - Dios, Como Te Amo 1966 - Meus Deus, Como Te Amo (Giane) 1977 - Nu Gasesc Cuvinte (Alla Baianova) 2007 - Bože, Kako Te Volim (Tereza Kesovija)
Remember? Why must I remember? Why can't I simply close my eyes and go to sleep And make her disappear? Why must I always hear?
Dio, come ti amo I still can hear her say Oh God, how much I love you And yet I walked away
The wind began to blow And all the leaves went flying She stood there in the night And tried to keep from crying
Dio, come ti amo What could I say or do? When love has lost its meaning It's over and it's through?
And so I went away From someone who was waiting To hold me in her arms In an embraced celebrating
But that was long ago And many loves had I But only one was real And that I let slip by
Dio, come ti amo
Dio, come ti amo Those were the words she said Oh God, how much I love you Keeps running through my head
I know it's much too late But I go right on prey To have her back again So she can hear me say
