(J McCoy / Morris Chappell) ---------------------------- You had plenty money Nineteen fourty one You lost it all And then, where do you run? Why don't you do right? Like some other men do? Get out of here and get me some money too Yo'sittin' down wondering what it's all about If you ain't got no money they will put you out Why don't you do right? Like some other men do? Just get out of here and get me some money too If you had prepared twenty years ago You wouldn't have wand'ring now from do'to do' Why don't you do right? Like some other men do? Get out of here and get me some money too Why don't you do right? Like some other men do? Like some other men do? Like some other men do? bewitched, bothered and bewildered (L. Heart / R Rogers) ================================== After one whole quart of brandy Like a daisy I'll awake With no Bromo Seltzer handy I don't even shake Men are not a new sensation I've done pretty well I think But this half-pint imitation Put me on the blink I'm wild again beguiled again a simpering whimpering child again bewitched bothered and bewildered Am I couldn't sleep, and wouldn't sleep when love came and told me I shouldn't sleep Bewiched bothered and bewildered Am I lost my heart, but what of it? he is cold, I agree he can laugh, but I love it Because the laugh's on me I'll sing to him, each spring to him And long for the day when I'll cling to him, Bewitched bothered and bewildered Am I. He's a fool and don't I know it But a fool can have his charms I'm in love and don't I show it like a babe in arms I've sinned a lot I'm mean a lot But I'm like sweet seventeen a lot bewitched bothered and bewildered Am I I'll sing to him Each spring to him And worship the trousers that cling to him Bewitched bothered and bewildered Am I When he talks He is seeking words to get On his chest Horizontally speaking he's at his very best vexed again oh yes, perplexed again thank God, I can be oversexed again bewitched bothered and bewildered Am I Secret Love - Sinéad O'Connor (P. F. Webster / S. Fain) ============================= Once I had a secret love That lived within the heart of me All too soon my secret love Became impatient to be free So I told a friendly star The way that dreamers often do Just how wonderful you are And why I'm so in love with you Now I shout it from the highest hill Even told the golden daffodils At last my heart's an open door And my secret love's no secret anymore Now I shout it from the highest hill I Even told the golden daffodils And lost my heart's an open door And my secret love's no secret My secret love's no secret My secret love's no secret anymore Black Coffee (P.F. Webster / S. Burke) ========================= I'm feelin'mighty lonesome, haven't slept a wink I walk the floor and watch the door and in between I drink black coffee Love's hand me down brew I'll never know a Sunday In this weekday room I'm talkin' to the shadows One o'clock till four And Lord, how slow the moments go When all I do is pour black coffee Since the blues caught my eye I'm hangin'out on Monday my Sunday dreams to dry Now a man is born to go a lovin' A woman's born to weep and fret To stay at home and tend her over And drown het past regrets in coffee and cigarettes! I'm moanin' all the mornin' And mournin' all the night And in between it's nicotine And not much heart to fight black coffee Feelin'low as the ground It's drivin' me crazy This waiting for my baby To maybe come around Success Has Made A Failure Of Our Home (J. Mullins) ====================================== We used to go out walking hand in hand You told me all the big things you had planned It wasn't long till all your dreams came true Success put me in second place with you You have no time to love me anymore Since fame and fortune knocked up on our door And i spend all my evenings all alone Success has made a failure of our home If we could share an evening now and then I'm sure we'd find true happiness again You never hold me like you used to do Oh, it's funny what success has done to you You have no time to love me anymore Since fame and fortune knocked up on our door And i spend all my evenings all alone Success has made a failure of our home Success has made a failure of our home I never changed I'm still the same I never changed Stop what you're saying You're killing me And am i not your girl? Am i not your girl? ... Am i not? Don't Cry For Me Argentina - Sinéad O'Connor (Andrew Lloyd Webber / T. Rice) - from the Musical "Evita" ========================================================== It won't be easy you'll think it strange When I try to explain how I feel That I still need your love After all that I've done You won't believe me All you will see is a girl you once knew Although she's dressed up to the nines At sixes and sevens with you I had to let it happen I had to change Couldn't stay all my life Down at heel Looking out of the window Staying out of the sun So I chose freedom Running around trying everything new But nothing impressed me at all I never expected it too Don't cry for me Argentina The truth is I never left you All through my wild days My mad existence I kept my promise Don't keep your distance And as for fortune And as for fame I never invited them in Though it seemed to the world They were all I desired They are illusions They are not the solutions they promised to be The answer was here all the time I love you and hope you love me Have I said too much? There's nothing more I can think of to say to you But all you have to do is look at me To know that every word is true I kept my promise Don't keep your distance I want to be loved by you (H. Stothart / H. Ruby / B. Kalmar) =================================== I wanna be loved by you, just you and nobody else but you I wanna be loved by you alone poo poo pi doo I wanna be kissed by you just you, nobody else but you I wanna be loved by you alone I couldn't aspire To anything higher Then to fill a desire to make you my own I wanna be loved by you, just you and nobody else but you I wanna be loved by you alone I couldn't aspire To anything higher Then to fill a desire to make you my own tada tada ta tada I wanna be loved by you just you, nobody else but you I wanna be loved by you I wanna be loved by you I wanna be loved by you Alone Gloomy Sunday (L. Javor / R. Seress / Lewis) ============================== Sunday is gloomy, My hours are slumberless, Dearest the shadows I live with are numberless Little white flowers will never awaken you Not where the black coach of sorrow has taken you Angels have no thought of ever returning you Would they be angry if I thought of joining you Gloomy Sunday. Sunday is gloomy with shadows I spend it all My heart and I have decided to end it all Soon there'll be flowers and prayers that are sad, I know, let them not weep, let then know that I'm glad to go Death is no dream, for in death I'm caressing you With the last breath of my soul I'll be blessing you Gloomy Sunday Dreaming I was only dreaming I wake and I find you asleep in the deep of my heart dear Darling I hope that my dream never haunted you My heart is telling you how much I wanted you Gloomy Sunday. Love Letters (E. Heyman / V. Young) ====================== Love letters straight from you heart Keep us so near while apart I'm not alone in the night When I can have all the love that you write I memorize every line And I kiss the name that you sign And darling then I read again right from the start Love letters straight from your heart I memorize every line And I kiss the name that you sign And darling then i read again right from the start Love letters straight from your heart How Insensitive (V. de Moraes / A.C. Jobim / Gimbel) ==================================== How insensitive I must have seemed when he told me that he loved me. How unmoved and cold I must have seemed when he said it so sincerely. Why, he must have asked did I just turn and stare in icy silence? What was I to do? What can you do? when a love affair is over? Now he's gone away and I'm alone with the memory of his last look. Vague and drawn and sad, I see it still All the heartbreak of his last look. Why, he must have asked would I just turn and stare in icy silence? What was I to say? What can you say? when a love affair is over? Why, he must have asked did I just turn and stare in icy silence? What was I to say? What can you say? when a love affair is over? over over My Heart Belongs To Daddy (Cole Porter) ========================= While tearing off a game of golf I may make a play for the caddy But if I do I don't follow through Cause my heart belongs to Daddy If I invite a boy some night To dine on my fine finnan haddie I just adore his asking for more But my heart belongs to Daddy Yes my heart belongs to Daddy So I simply couldn't be bad Yes my heart belongs to Daddy Lalala, lalala, lalala So I want to warn you, laddie Tho' I know you perfectly swell That my heart belongs to Daddy Cause my daddy, he treats me so well While tearing off a game of golf I may make a play for the caddy But if I do I don't follow through Cause my heart belongs to Daddy And if I invite a boy some night To dine on my fine finnan heddie I just adore his asking for more But my heart belongs to Daddy Yes my heart belongs to Daddy So I simply couldn't be bad Yes my heart belongs to Daddy Lalala, aauuhhhoo So I want to warn you, laddie Tho' I know you perfectly swell That my heart belongs to Daddy And my Daddy, he treats me so well He treats me so well Almost in your arms (Livingston / Evans) ==================== You're near, that moment's here I'm almost in your arms Tonight, the mood is right I'm almost in your arms One sigh, one word and I Will rush to your embrase Say that certain word, sigh that certain sigh And with all my heart, to your arms I'll fly It's strange, how we are changed by the things that seem so small One look can write a book One touch can say it all We know those nights of love And now we found our way I'm almost in your arms to stay You're near, that moment's here I'm almost in your arms Tonight, the mood is right I'm almost in your arms One sigh, one word and I Will rush to your embrase Say that certain word, sigh that certain sigh And with all my heart, to your arms I'll fly It's strange, how we are changed by the things that seem so small One look can write a book One touch can say it all We know those nights of love And now we found our way I'm almost in your arms almost in your arms almost in your arms to stay Fly me to the moon (Howard) ================== Fly me to the moon And let me play among the stars Let me see what spring is like on Jupiter and Mars In other words, hold my hands In other words, darling kiss me Fill my heart with song And let me sing for ever more You are all I long for All I worship and adore In other words please be true In other words Fill my heart with song And let me sing for ever more You are all I long for All I worship and adore In other words please be true In other words, I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you love you Scarlett ribbons (J. Segal / E. Danzig) ====================== I peeked in to say goodnight And I heard my child in prayer "And for me some scarlet ribbons Scarlet ribbons for my hair" All the stores were closed and shuttered All the streets were dark and bare In our town, no scarlet ribbons Scarlet ribbons for her hair Thru the night my heart was aching Just before the dawn was breaking I peeped in and on her pillow On her pillow lying there Lovely ribbons, scarlet ribbons Scarlet ribbons for her hair If I live to be a hundred I will never know from where Came those ribbons, scarlet ribbons Scarlet ribbons for her hair SPEECH AT THE END OF THE ALBUM ============================== I am not a liar, and I'm not full of hatred But I hate lies and so the liars hate me The same who can't stand the sight of a starving baby? can you really say you're not in pain like me? Are any of us not living painfully? Pain is what their lies have kept us in But the war has started now, and truth will win Many of us are gonna lose our lives and that's okay because to live we have to die The enemies of God will say it's chaos just remember what Jesus did in the temple and be patient exactly why do you think he was assassinated? who was it that did the dirty deed? Who didn't like the answers they'd received? Look at the one wearing the collar! Then or now, there's only ever been one liar and it's the Holy Roman Empire and this is exactly what they did they told us lies to take us away from God so yeah, I am angry but I'm not full of hate I am full of love God said "I bring not peace, I bring a sword" _________________________________________________ transcribed by Roman Szendrey and Marcel Bobbink thanks for the help Sam Warren and Stefan Lundell send corrections to: bobbink@chello.nl _________________________________________________
