MISCELLANEOUS TRACKS PERFORMED BY STING


A Day In The Life

Written by John Lennon & Paul McCartney

I read the news today oh boy
About a lucky man who made the grade
And though the news was rather sad
Well I just had to laugh
I saw the photograph

He blew his mind out in a car
He didn't notice that the lights had changed
A crowd of people stood and stared
They'd seen his face before
Nobody was really sure if he was from the House of Lords

I saw a film today oh boy
The English Army had just won the war
A crowd of people turned away
But I just had to look

Having read the book...

I'd love to turn... you... on...

Woke up, fell out of bed, dragged a comb across my head
Found my way downstairs and drank a cup
And looking up, I noticed I was late
Found my coat and grabbed my hat, made the bus in seconds flat
Found my way upstairs and had a smoke
And somebody spoke and I went into a dream

Ahhh...

I heard the news today oh boy
Four thousand holes in Blackburn, Lancashire
And though the holes were rather small

They had to count them all
Now they know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall
I'd love to turn... you... on...

Ain't No Sunshine

Written by Bill Withers

Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
It's not warm when she's away
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And she's always gone too long anytime she goes away

Wonder this time where she's gone
Wonder if she's gone to stay
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And this house just ain't no home anytime she goes away

I know, I know, I know, I know, I know...

I ought to leave the young thing alone, but
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone

Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
Only darkness everyday
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And this house just ain't no home anytime she goes away...

I know, I know, I know, I know, I know...

I ought to leave the young thing alone, but
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone

All For Love

Written by Bryan Adams

When it's love you give
I'll be a man of good faith.
Then in love you live.
I'll make a stand. I won't break.
I'll be the rock you can build on,
Be there when you're old,
To have and to hold.

When there's love inside
I swear I'll always be strong.
Then there's a reason why.
I'll prove to you we belong.
I'll be the wall that protects you
From the wind and the rain,
From the hurt and pain.

Let's make it all for one and all for love.
Let the one you hold be the one you want,
The one you need,
'Cause when it's all for one it's one for all.
When there's someone that should know
Then just let your feelings show
And make it all for one and all for love.

When it's love you make
I'll be the fire in your night.
Then it's love you take.
I will defend, I will fight.
I'll be there when you need me.
When honor's at stake,
This vow I will make:

That it's all for one and all for love.
Let the one be the one you want,
The one you need,
'Cause when it's all for one it's one for all.
When there's someone that should know
Then just let your feelings show
And make it all for one and all for love.

Don't lay our love to rest
'Cause we could stand up to the test.
We got everything and more than we had planned,
More than the rivers that run the land.
We've got it all in our hands.

Now it's all for one and all for love.
It's all for love.
Let the one you hold be the one you want,
The one you need,
'Cause when it's all for one it's one for all.
It's one for all.
When there's someone that should know
Then just let your feelings show.
When there's someone that you want,
When there's someone that you need
Let's make it all, all for one and all for love.

Angel Eyes

Written by Earl Brent & Matt Dennis

Have you ever had the feeling
That the world's gone and left you behind
Have you ever had the feeling
That you're that close to losing your mind

You look around each corner
Hoping that she's there
You try to play it cool perhaps
Pretend that you don't care

But it doesn't do a bit of good
You got to seek till you find
Are you never unwind

Try to think
That love is not around
Still it's uncomfortably near

My old heart
Ain't gaining no ground
Because my angel eyes ain't here

Angel eyes
That old devil sent
They glow unbearably bright
Need I say
That my love's misspent
Misspent with angel eyes tonight

So drink up all you people
Order anything you see
Have fun you happy people
The drink and the laugh's on me

Pardon me
But I gotta run
The fact's uncomfortably clear
Gotta find
Who's now number one
And why my angel eyes ain't here
Tell me why my angel eyes ain't here
Excusez moi my angel eyes ain't here
Excuse me while I disappear

Another Pyramid

Written by Tim Rice & Elton John

Sad to say our mighty ruler
Is not really in the pink
Hopes could not be minesculer
That he'll come back from the brink

Not to beat around the bush he
Looks like heading for his box
At the risk of seeming pushy
We must plan for future shocks

According to the Hawk God, Horus
Our most regal invalid
Is not that much longer for us
Build another pyramid!

Though all doctors and physicians
Have been summoned to his bed
It will soon be top morticians
We'll be calling for instead

With each wheeze the nation's humming
Egypt shakes with every cough
No two ways about what's coming
No discussion - bets are off

Soon our Pharaoh will have filled a
Tomb just like his father did
Summon Egypt's greatest builder
Re: another pyramid!

We hate to depress the nation
But our leader has been told
He should cancel his vacation
Even put tonight on hold

This is where his loyal priesthood
Has the chance to do him proud
Holy leaders at the least should
See him happy to his shroud

He must have a vault that's grand by
Any standards, floor to lid
Put five thousand slaves on standby
Build another pyramid!

Be Bop A Lula

Written by Gene Vincent & S.T. Davis

Be bop a lula, she's my baby
Be bop a lula, I don't mean maybe
Be bop a lula, she's my baby
Be bop a lula, I don't mean maybe
Be bop a lula, she's my baby doll

She's the woman in the red blue jeans
She's the queen of all the teens
She's the woman I love her so
She's the woman that thrills me so
Be bop a lula, she's my baby
Be bop a lula, I don't mean maybe
Be bop a lula, she's my baby doll, my baby doll

Be bop a lula, she's my baby
Be bop a lula, I don't mean maybe
Be bop a lula, she's my baby
Be bop a lula, I don't mean maybe
Be bop a lula, she's my baby doll, baby doll

Beneath A Desert Moon

Written by Sting

From the mountains on the moon to the mighty delta
From the deserts of the West to the shining sea
Beneath the canopy of stars flows the serpent river
Flowing through my father's land that he left to me

From the baker, to the priest, to the candle maker
From the highest to the low in my father's land
We make our offer to the sun 'fore the break of morning
Or else everything we have will just turn to sand

I have a lot to ask
I have a lot that I need to say
I have so much do
And all I need is another day

From the soldier, to the scribe, to the carpet maker
All the different colored threads in a carpet loom
A woven tapestry of life is our mighty nation
This is the writing on the wall of my father's tomb

We have a lot to ask
We have a lot that we need to say
We have so much do
And all we need is another day

Beneath the desert moon, I call you
Beneath the desert moon, I sing
Beneath the desert moon, so lonely
I'm just a boy who would be king

With just the moon to guide us
We sometimes lose our way
If there's a light inside us
We'll follow it to the brightness of the day

Every single blade of grass, every yellow flower
Every ripple on the sea of the blue, blue Nile
Every leaf on every tree, every single creature
From the smallest little bird, to the crocodile

We have a lot to ask
We have a lot that we need to say
We have so much do
And all we need is another day

Beneath the desert moon, I call you
Beneath the desert moon, we sing
Beneath the desert moon, we're waiting
Before the coming of the king

Beneath the desert moon that's sinking
We see the Eastern sky's on fire
This is where darkness leaves
And shining waters fall
And let the shadows run
And we'll say, "welcome to the sun."

Brand new day...

Caro Mio Ben

Written by Giuseppe Giordani

Caro mio ben
Credimi almen,
Senza di te
Languisce il cor,
Caro mio ben,
Senza di te
Languisce il cor.

Il tuo fedel
So spira ognor.
Cessa, crudel,
Tanto rigor!
Cessa, crudel,
Tanto rigor,
Tanto rigor!

Caro mio ben
Credimi almen,
Senza di te
Languisce il cor,

Caro mio ben
Credimi almen,
Senza di te
Languisce il cor.

Come Down In Time

Written by Elton John & Bernie Taupin

In the quiet silent seconds I turned off the light switch
And I came down to meet you in the half light the moon left
While a cluster of night jars sang some songs out of tune
A mantle of bright light shone down from a room

Come down in time I still hear her say
So clear in my ear like it was today
Come down in time was the message she gave to me
Come down in time and I'll meet you half way

Well I don't know if I should have heard her as yet
But a true love like hers is a hard love to get
And I've walked most all the way and I ain't heard her call
And I'm getting to thinking if she's coming at all

Come down in time I still hear her say
So clear in my ear like it was today
Come down in time was the message she gave to me
Come down in time and I'll meet you half way

There are women and women, and some hold you tight
While some leave you counting the stars in the night

Conversation With A Dog

Written by Sting

I asked my dog what he thought the best in man
He said, "The love you dispense to me twice daily from a can."
I said, "Why do you think my question funny?
And where would you be without my money?"
I said, "There may be some quality in us you must treasure."
"It's despair," he said, "of which your money is the measure."

Walk like a dog
Like anybody can
Walk like a dog
Like anybody can

"What about our politics, philosophy, our history?"
He said, "If there is something admirable in these it is a mystery."
"But there must be something in our system tell me at your leisure."
"It's despair," he said, "of which your borders are the measure."

Walk like a dog
Talk like a man
Walk like a dog
Like anybody can

Walk like a dog
Talk like a man
Walk like a dog
Like anybody can

"What about technology, computers, nuclear fission?"
"I'm terrified of radiation, hate the television."
I said, "There must be something in our scientific treasure."
"It's despair," he said, "of which your weapons are the measure."

"Feed me, you can beat me. I will love you till I die.
But don't ask for admiration and don't ever ask me why."
I said, "Why wait till now to demonstrate displeasure?"
"It's despair," he said, "of which my silence was the measure."

Walk like a dog
Talk like a man
Walk like a dog
Like anybody can

Walk like a dog
Talk like a man
Walk like a dog
Like anybody can

Cushie Butterfield

Written by George Ridley

I'm a broken-hearted keelman
And I'm o'er head in love
With a young lass from Gyetsid
And I call 'er my dove

Her name's Cushie Butterfield
And she sells yellow clay
And 'er cousin's a muckman
And they call him Tom Gray

She's a big lass
She's a bonny lass
And she likes her beer
And I call her Cushie Butterfield
And I wish she was here

Her eyes is like two holes
In a blanket burnt through
And her breath in the mornin'
Would scare a young coo

She wears big galoshes
And her stockings once was white
And her bed gown it's lilac
And her hat's never straight

She's a big lass
She's a bonny lass
And she likes her beer
And I call her Cushie Butterfield
And I wish she was here

Gabriel's Message

(Traditional)

The angel Gabriel from heaven came
His wings as drifted snow
His eyes as flame
"All hail" said he "thou lowly maiden Mary,
Most highly favored lady," Gloria!

"For known a blessed mother thou shalt be,
All generations laud and honor thee,
Thy Son shall be Emanuel,
By seers foretold
Most highly favored lady," Gloria!

Then gentle Mary meekly bowed her head
"To me be as it pleaseth God," she said,
"My soul shall laud and magnify his holy name."
Most highly favored lady. Gloria!

Of her Emanuel, the Christ was born
In Bethlehem all on a Christmas morn
And everyone throughout the world forever saved
Most highly favored lady Gloria!

Get Up Stand Up

Written by Bob Marley

Get up, stand up
Stand up for your right
Get up, stand up
Don't give up the fight
Get up, stand up
Stand up for your right
Get up, stand up
Don't give up the fight

Preacherman don't tell me, heaven is under the earth
I know, you don't know, what life is really worth
If all that glitters was gold
Heard the story which never been told
Now you see the light
So get up for your rights

Get up, stand up
Sit up for your right
Get up, stand up
Don't give up the fight
Get up, stand up
Stand up for your right
Get up, stand up
Don't give up the fight

Well people say: a great God will come from the sky
Take away everything
And make everybody feel high
If you know what life is worth
You will look to yours on earth
And now you see the light
Stand up for your rights

Get up, stand up
Get up, stand up
Stand up for your right
Stand up for your right
Get up, stand up
Get up, stand up
Don't give up the fight
People don't, people don't, people don't
Get up, stand up
Sit up for your right
Get up, stand up
Don't give up the fight

I'm sick and tired of
The same of shame of thing
Die and go to heaven in Jesus' name
Cause we know and we understand
That a mighty God is a livin' man
Be so clear for sometime
But you cannot fool all the people all the time
Now you see the light
So get up for your rights

Get up, stand up
Get up, stand up
Stand up for your rights
Stand up for your rights
Get up, stand up
Get up, stand up
Don't give up the fight
Don't give up the fight
Weeeooo...
We won't give up the fight
Don't give up the fight
Weeeooo...
We won't give up the fight
Don't give up the fight

How Insensitive (Insensatez)

Written by Antonio Carlos Jobim, Vinicius de Moraes & Norman Gimbel

How insensitive
I must have seemed
When she told me that she loved me
How unmoved and cold
I must have seemed
When she told me so sincerely

Why she 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

Now she's gone away
And I'm alone
With a memory of her last look
Vague and drawn and sad
I see it still
All her heartbreak in her last look
How she must have asked,
Could I just turn and stare in icy silence
What was I to do
What can one say
When a love affair is over

If You There

Written by Sting

Your beauty pulses like a distant star
Once you were so near to me
And now you've gone so far

Wretched and affixed the word is in his stone
Lying now don't move nor speak no statue here alone

Living here just with a memory
A simple recollection that's so dear to me
You said it's logical that we should part
What's pleasing to my intellect
Must surely break my heart

Man will always want what he can't have
It's more than he can do just to be brave
He seeks perfection in a thousand ways
Just throw another shovel on his grave

Born to live
Born to die
Born to wonder
Why, why, why, why

If you there
Would you leave me wondering?
If you there
Am I one man only?
If you there
Don't leave me wondering
If you there

You say that all we have is what we see
Baby all you understand is a little part of me
You said that I could never be the one
Promises evaporate in the angle of the sun
If the only certain thing is death
Walk a little nearer to it now with every breath
And if this time must wear a velvet glove
Then kindness and lies are the true friends of love

Man will always want what he can't have
It's more than he can do just to be brave
He seeks perfection in a thousand ways
Just throw another shovel on his grave

Born to live
Born to die
Born to wonder
Why, why, why, why

If you there
Would you leave me wondering?
If you there
Am I one man only?
If you there
Don't leave me wondering
If you there

I'll Follow My Secret Heart

Written by No?l Coward

Don't be afraid I'll betray you
And destroy all the plans you have made
But even your schemes must
Leave room for my dreams
So when all I owe to you is pain
I'll still have something of my own
A little prize that's mine alone

I'll follow my secret heart
My whole life through
I'll keep all my dreams apart
Till one comes true
No matter what price is paid
What stars may fade above
I'll follow my secret heart
Till I find love

No matter what price is paid
What stars may fade above
I'll follow my secret heart
Till I find love

In The Wee Small Hours

Written by David Mann & Bob Hilliard

In the wee small hours
Of the morning
While the whole wide world
Is fast asleep

You lie awake
And think about that girl
But never ever think of
Counting sheep

Now when your lonely heart
Has learnt its lesson
You'd be hers
If only she would call
In the wee small hours
Of the morning
That's the time
You miss her most of all

Now when your lonely heart
Has learnt its lesson
You'd be hers
If only she would call
In the wee small hours
Of the morning
That's the time
You miss her most
For as now
You miss her most
That's the time
You miss her most of all

I Saw Three Ships

(Traditional)

I saw three ships come sailing in
On Christmas day, on Christmas day
I saw three ships come sailing in
On Christmas day in the morning.

And what was in those ships all three?
On Christmas day, on Christmas day
And what was in those ships all three?
On Christmas day in the morning.

Our Saviour, Christ, and His Lady,
On Christmas day, on Christmas day
Our Saviour, Christ, and His Lady,
On Christmas day in the morning.

Pray, whither sailed those ships all three?
On Christmas day, on Christmas day
Pray, whither sailed those ships all three?
On Christmas day in the morning.

O, they sailed to Bethlehem,
On Christmas day, on Christmas day
O, they sailed to Bethlehem,
On Christmas day in the morning.

And all the bells on earth shall ring,
On Christmas day, on Christmas day
And all the bells on earth shall ring,
On Christmas day in the morning.

And all the angels in heaven shall sing,
On Christmas day, on Christmas day
And all the angels in heaven shall sing,
On Christmas day in the morning.

And all the souls on earth shall sing,
On Christmas day, on Christmas day
And all the souls on earth shall sing,
On Christmas day in the morning.

Then let us all rejoice and sing,
On Christmas day, on Christmas day
Then let us all rejoice and sing,
On Christmas day in the morning.

I Shall Be Released

Written by Bob Dylan

They say ev'rything can be replaced,
Yet ev'ry distance is not near.
So I remember ev'ry face
Of ev'ry man who put me here.
I see my light come shining
From the West unto the East.
Any day now, any way now,
I shall be released.

They say ev'ry man needs protection,
They say ev'ry man must fall.
Yet I swear I see my reflection
Some place so high above this wall.
I see my light come shining
From the West unto the East.
Any day now, any way now,
I shall be released.

Standing next to me in this lonely crowd,
Is a man who swears he's not to blame.
All day long I hear him shout so loud,
Crying out that he was framed.
I see my light come shining
From the West unto the East.
Any day now, any way now,
I shall be released.

It Ain't Necessarily So

Written by George Gershwin & Ira Gershwin

It ain't necessarily so,
It ain't necessarily so.
The things that you're liable to read in the Bible,
It ain't necessarily so.

David was small but oh my.
David was small but oh my.
He fought big Goliath who lay down and dieth.
David was small but oh my.
David was small but oh my.

Jonah he lived in a whale.
Jonah he lived in a whale.
He made his home in a fishes abdomen.
Jonah he lived in a whale.
Jonah he lived in a whale.

Moses was found on a stream.
Moses was found on a stream.
Floated on water old Pharaoh's daughter
Fished him she says from that stream.

It ain't necessarily so,
It ain't necessarily so.
Things that you're liable to read in the Bible,
It ain't necessarily so,
It ain't necessarily so,
It ain't necessarily so,
It ain't necessarily so.

It's A Lonesome Old Town

Written by Harry Tobias & Charles Kisco

It's a lonesome old town
When you're not around
I'm lonely
As I can be

I never knew
How much I'd miss you
But now
I can plainly see

It's a lonesome old town
When you're not around
How I wish you'd come back to me
How I wish you'd come back to me
How I wish you'd come back to me

Lonesome old town
Lonesome, lonesome old town
It's a lonesome old town

January Stars

Written by Sting

Ten below and falling fast
Those days of summer were long past
My horoscope said you'd come back
I have my doubts, you see

And as I watched the mercury
And thought about the prophecy
A new moon and an early thaw
I watched the door for you

If January stars came true

And as I gaze at winter stars
The second house conjunct with Mars
They would suggest that we'll be one
I have my doubts, you see

If I maintain a skeptic's eye
And train the other on the sky
I'd eat my hat if it came true
I'd prob'ly eat yours, too

If January stars came true
If January stars came true

Now I'm in a pretty mess
It's getting warmer, I confess
My horoscope said you'd come back
I have my doubts, it's true

And as I watched the mercury
And thought about the prophecy
A new moon and an early thaw
I left the door for you

If January stars,
If January stars,
If January stars came true
January stars, ooh

Lullaby To An Anxious Child

Written by Sting

Hush child,
Let your mommy sleep into the night until we rise
Hush child,
Let me soothe the shining tears that gather in your eyes

Hush child,
I won't leave I'll stay with you to cross this Bridge of Sighs
Hush child,
I can help the look of accusation in your eyes
In your eyes

The world is broken and now
All in sorrow
Wise men hang their heads

Hush child,
Let your mommy sleep into the night until we rise
Hush child,
All the strength I'll need to find, I'll find inside your eyes
In your eyes

Mack The Knife

Written by Kurt Weill, Bertolt Brecht & Marc Blitzstein

See the shark, how red his fins are
As he slashes at his prey
Mac the Knife wears white kid gloves which
Give the minimum away

And the ghastly fire in Soho,
Seven children at one go
In the crowd stands Mac the Knife, but
He's not asked and doesn't know

In the crowd stands Mac the Knife, but
He's not asked and doesn't know

Moonlight

Written by John Williams, Alan Bergman & Marilyn Bergman

In the moonlight
When the shadows play
When the thought of what could happen
Takes your breath away
Sighs and whispers
Quiet laughter in the air
Unspoken invitations everywhere

In the moonlight
All the words you say
Make it relatively easy
To be swept away
In the half-light
Can we trust the way we feel
Can we be sure that anything is real?

Stars keep secrets as they wander indiscretely
While the echoes of a song go drifting by
We must be careful not to lose our way completely
Or the magic that we seek here
We can't be sure will be here

In the morning
With the moon away
And if in each other's arms
Is where we're meant to stay

In the love-light
When our eyes have grown accustomed to the daylight
We'll see what waits for us to share
For all the things we've dreamed of in the moonlight
Will be there

Muoio Per Te (Mad About You)

Written by Sting & Zucchero

A un passo da Gerusalemme
E a un solo un miglio dalla luna
Sotto un cielo di milioni di stelle
Ho il cuore perso in un pianeta lontano
Che gira intorno e cade gui'
Con archi di tristezza,
Io muoio per te, muoio per te!
E se il mio regno diventa sabbia
E cade in fondo al mare:

Io muoio per te, (io) muoio per te!

E dalla fonde oscure valli
Canzoni antiche di tristezza
Mo ogni passo io pensavo a te
Ogni passo solo te
Per ogni stella un granello di sabbia
Gli avanzi di un asciutto mare
Dimmi, quanto tempo, quanto ancora!

C'e' una citta nel deserto e riposa
La vanita di un antico re
Ma la citta riposa in pezzi,
Dove il vento urla all'avvoltoio
Quello che ha fatto l'uomo
Con l'ambizione, e tutto questo
Faro prigione la mia vita
Se sei la sposa per un altro
Che i miei nemici siano liberi,
Io cado e sono qui,
Che muoio per te, muoio per te!

E solo come mai,
Cosi solo come ora mai!

Con tutti i miei domini
Cosa sono qui
Sono niente cosi
Non ci son vittorie
Nelle nostre storie, senza amor!

A un passo da Gerusalemme
E a un solo un miglio dalla luna
Sotto un cielo di milioni di stelle
Ho il cuore perso in un pianeta lontano
Che gira intorno e cade gui'
Con archi di tristezza,
Io muoio per te, muoio per te!

E anche se hai le chiavi
E distruggi quel che ho
Ogni prigione in polvere
Nemici piu non ho
(E) i regni miei di sabbia mare,
Io muoio per te, muoio per te!

My One And Only Love

Written by Robert Mellin & Guy Wood

The very thought of you makes
My heart sing
Like an April breeze
On the wings of spring
And you appear in all your splendor
My one and only love

The shadows fall
And spread their mystic charms
In the hush of night
While you're in my arms
I feel your lips so warm and tender
My one and only love

The touch of your hand is like heaven
A heaven that I've never known
The blush on your cheek
Whenever I speak
Tells me that you are my own

You fill my eager heart with
Such desire
Every kiss you give
Sets my soul on fire
I give myself in sweet surrender
My one and only love

The blush on your cheek
Whenever I speak
Tells me that you are my own
You fill my eager heart with
Such desire
Every kiss you give
Sets my soul on fire
I give myself in sweet surrender
My one and only love

My one and only love

Ne Me Quitte Pas

Written by Jacques Brel

Ne me quitte pas
Il faut oublier
Tout peut s'oublier
Qui s'enfuit déjà
Oublier le temps
Des malentendus
Et le temps perdu
A savoir comment
Oublier ces heures
Qui tuaient parfois
A coup de pourquoi
Le coeur du bonheur

Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas

Moi je t'offrirai
Des perles de pluie
Venues de pays
Où il ne pleut pas
Je creuserai la terre
Jusqu'aprés ma mort
Pour couvrir ton corpos
D'or et de lumière
Je ferai un domaine
Où l'amour sera roi
Où l'amour sera loi
Où je serais reine

Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas

Ne me quitte pas
Je t'inventerai
Des mots insensés
Que tu comprendras
Je te parlerai
De ces amants-là
Qui ont vu deux fois
Leurs coeurs s'embraser
Je te raconterai
L'histoire de ce roi
Mort de n'avoir pas
Pu te rencontrer

Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas

On a vu souvent
Rejaillir le feu
De l'ancien volcan
Il est, parait-il
Des terres brûlées
Donnant plus de blé
Qu'un meilleur avril
Et quand vient le soir
Pour qu'un ciel flamboie
Le rouge et le noir
Ne s'épousent-ils pas?

Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas

Ne me quitte pas
Je ne vais plus pleurer
Je ne vais plus parler
Je me cacherais là
A te regarder
Danser et sourire
Et à t'écouter
Chanter et puis rire
Laisse-moi devenir
L'ombre de ton ombre
L'ombre de ta main
L'ombre de ton chien

Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas

Nice Work If You Can Get It

Written by George Gershwin & Ira Gershwin

The man who only lives for making money
Lives a life that isn't necessarily sunny.
Likewise the man who works for fame,
There's no guarantee that time won't erase his name.
The fact is, the only work that really brings enjoyment
Is the kind that is girl and boy meant,
Fall in love you won't regret it,
That's the best work of all if you can get it.

Holding hands at midnight
'Neath a starry sky,
Nice work if you can get it,
And you can get it if you try.
Strolling with the one girl,
Sighing sigh after sigh,
Nice work if you can get it,
And you can get it if you try.
Just imagine someone
Waiting at the cottage door,
Where two hearts become one
Who could ask for anything more?
Loving one who loves you,
And then taking that vow,
Nice work if you can get it,
And if you get it,
Oh won't you tell me how?

Just imagine someone
Waiting at the cottage door,
Where two hearts become one
Who could ask for anything more?

Nice work if you can get it,
And you can get it if you try.
Nice work if you can get it,
And you can get it if you try.

Just imagine someone
Waiting at the cottage door,
Where two hearts become one
Who could ask for anything more?
Loving one who loves you,
And then taking that vow,
Nice work if you can get it,
And if you get it,
Oh won't you tell me how?

Nuclear Waste

Madam I'd like to assure you that this little
Domestic reactor will never cause you any trouble
Nuclear Waste - we don't want that
Nuclear Waste - we don't need that
Atomic Power - we've got to leave this
Nuclear Age behind in our t-t-time

A faste breeder breaks all the rules
Gives us something for nothing - that ain't true
And who makes the profit? - not me and you
And who runs the risks? - we all do!

Nuclear Fear - we don't want that
Nuclear Waste - we can't get rid of that
Nuclear Power - you're hoping we'll get used to it
Nuclear Accidents - I've had enough of it.

Do you find it attractive to be radioactive
Emitting killing rays?
Splitting your atoms with a fission reaction
Transmitting out of phase?

Strontium 90
I wanna live to see 1999
There's enough energy in the air and in the sea
To give us Power to live Peace and Harmony

Nuclear Waste - we don't get used to your
Nuclear Waste - Ultimate pollution
Radiation - produces mutation
Disintegration - it's not evolution
Nuclear Children - you have the sollution

New Killer Waste - better active today

Than radioactive tomorrow
New Killer Waste - need a cure for cancer?
Or you field - need the real answer
Or maybe solar - fusion nor fission
Oh darling! - let me put my arms around you

Nuclear Waste - jamming my transmission
Nuclear Waste - damaging my vision
Nuclear Waste

Purple Haze

Written by Jimi Hendrix

Purple haze are in my brain,
Lately things don't seem to be the same,
Actin' funny but I don't know why
'scuse me while kiss the sky.

Purple haze all around,
Don't know if I'm coming up or down.
Am I happy or in misery?
Whatever it is, that girl put a spell on me.

Purple haze are in my eyes,
Don't know if it's day or night,
You've got me blowing, blowing my mind
Is it tomorrow or just the end of time?

Purple haze...

'Round Midnight

Written by Bernie Hanighen, Cootie Williams & Thelonius Monk

It begins to tell
At sometime 'round midnight
I do pretty well
Till after sundown
At supper time I'm feeling blue
But I really miss you
'Round midnight

Memories return
At sometime round midnight
I have yet to learn
To stop those memories
When my heart is still with you
And old midnight
Knows it too

Did it mean that our love would be ending
When some quarrel we had needed mending
Darling I need you
But lately I find
You're out of my arms
Out of my mind

Let our love take wing
Some midnight, round midnight;
And let the angels sing
At your returning;
Let our love be safe and sound
When old midnight
Comes around

Let our love take wing
Some midnight, round midnight;
Let the angels sing
At your returning;
Let our love be safe and sound
When old midnight
Comes around

Sisters Of Mercy

Written by Leonard Cohen

Oh, the sisters of mercy
They are not departed or gone
They were waiting for me
When I thought that I just can't go on
And they brought me their comfort
And later they brought me this song
Oh, I hope you run into them
You who've been travelling so long

Yes, you who must leave everything
That you cannot control
It begins with your family
But soon it comes around to your soul
Well I've been where you're hanging
I think I can see how you're pinned
When you're not feeling holy
Your loneliness says that you've sinned

Oh, well they lay down beside me
I made my confession to them
They touched both my eyes
And I touched the dew on their hem
If your life is a leaf
That the seasons tear off and condemn
They will bind you with love
That is graceful and green as a stem
Oh...

When I left they were sleeping
I hope you run into them soon
Don't turn on the lights
You can read their address by the moon
And you won't make me jealous
If I hear that they sweetened your night
We weren't lovers like that
And besides it would still be all right
Oh oh oh oh oh oh...

Someone To Watch Over Me

Written by George Gershwin & Ira Gershwin

There's a saying old says that love is blind,
Still were often told, "seek and you shall find";
So I'm going to seek a certain girl I've had in mind.
Looking everywhere, haven't found her yet;
She's the big affair I cannot forget.
Only girl I ever think of with regret.
I'd like to add her initial to my monogram.
Tell me, where is the shepherdess for this lost lamb?

There's a somebody I'm longing to see:
I hope that she turns out to be
Someone who'll watch over me.
I'm a little lamb who's lost in the wood:
I know I could always be good
To one who'll watch over me.
Although I may not be the man some girls think of as handsome
To her heart I carry the key
Won't you tell her please to put on some speed, follow my lead.
Oh, how I need someone who'll watch over me.

There's a somebody I'm longing to see:
I hope that she turns out to be
Someone who to watch over me.

I'm a little lamb who's lost in the wood:
I know I could always be good
To one who'll watch over me.

Although I may not be the man some girls think of as handsome
To her heart I carry the key
Won't you tell her please to put on some speed, follow my lead.
Oh, how I need someone to watch over me.

Spread A Little Happiness

Written by Vivian Ellis, Clifford Grey & Greatrex Newman

Even when the darkest clouds are in the sky
You mustn't sigh and you mustn't cry
Spread a little happiness as you go by
Please try

What's the use of worrying and feeling blue
When days are long keep on smiling through
Spread a little happiness till dreams come true

Surely you'll be wise to make the best of every blues day
Don't you realize you'll find next monday or next tuesday
Your golden shoes day

Even when the darkest clouds are in the sky
You mustn't sigh and you mustn't cry
Spread a little happiness as you go by

I've got a creed for every need
So easy that it must succeed
I'll set it down for you to read
So please, take heed
Keep out the gloom
Let in the sun
That's my advice for everyone
It's only once we pass this way
So day by day

Even when the darkest clouds are in the sky
You mustn't sigh and you mustn't cry
Spread a little happiness as you go by
Please try

What's the use of worrying and feeling blue
When days are long keep on smiling through
Spread a little happiness till dreams come true

Surely you'll be wise to make the best of every blues day
Don't you realize you'll find next monday or next tuesday
Your golden shoes day

Even when the darkest clouds are in the sky
You mustn't sigh and you mustn't cry
Spread a little happiness as you go by

(whistling solo)

Surely you'll be wise to make the best of every blues day
Don't you realize you'll find next monday or next tuesday
Your golden shoes day

Even when the darkest clouds are in the sky
You mustn't sigh and you mustn't cry
Spread a little happiness as you go by

Strange Fruit

Written by Lewis Allan

Southern trees bear a strange fruit,
Blood on the leaves and blood at the root,
Black body swinging in the Southern breeze,
Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees.

Pastoral scene of the gallant South,
The bulging eyes and the twisted mouth,
Scent of magnolia sweet and fresh,
And the sudden smell of burning flesh!

Here is a fruit for the crows to pluck,
For the rain to gather, for the wind to suck,
For the sun to rot, for a tree to drop,
Here is a strange and bitter crop.

Take Me To The Sunshine

Written by Sting

I've been working too hard at the office all year
I've been saving all my days for a break
So I've got to get away with my baby for a time
If it's just for my sanity's sake

Nothing but work and never to play
Make Jack a dull boy or so they say
And nothing in the world gonna make me stay
I've just got to get away for a day

Oh the smog in the city is clogging up my head
And the noise of the traffic and the poison lead
Too many people I must confess
I'm looking for the cure of terminal stress

Take me to the sunshine
Take me to the sun

It's a perfect paradise and it ain't no trick
You can walk, you can run, play golf 'til you're sick
Swim all day, you can dance all night
You can ever fall in love if you're feeling right

The surf will roar and the birds will sing
And the warm wind sighs as you practice your swing
And the cares of the world will fade away as you
Watch the sun setting on a golden bay

They say that modern man needs to find himself
And what's bad for his spirit is bad for his health
And when the world's used up and there's nowhere else
You'll realize Mother Nature is the Commonwealth

Take me to the sunshine
Take me to the sun
Take me to the sun

Take me to the sunshine
Take me to the sun
Take me to the sun...

I've been working too hard at the office all year
I've been saving all my days for a break
So I've got to get away with my baby for a time
If it's for my sanity's sake

Tempted

Written by Glenn Tillbrook & Chris Difford

I bought a toothbrush, some toothpaste, a flannel for my face
Pajamas, a hairbrush, new shoes and a case
I said to my reflection, let's get out of this place
Passed the church and the steeple, the laundry on the hill
Billboards and the buildings
Memories of it still keep calling
And calling
But forget it all I know I will

Tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted but the truth is discovered
What's been going on
Now that you have gone
There's no other
Tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted but the truth is discovered

I'm at the carpark, the airport, the baggage carousel
The people keep on grabbing, ain't wishing I was well
I said, "It's no occasion, it's no story I can tell"
At my bedside, empty pocket, a foot without a sock
Your body gets much closer
I fumble for the clock, alarmed by
The seduction
I wish that it would stop

Tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted but the truth is discovered
What's been going on
Now that you have gone there's no other
Tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted but the truth is discovered

I bought a novell, some perfume, a fortune all for you
But it's not my conscience that hates to be untrue
I asked of my reflection
Tell me what is there to do

Tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted but the truth is discovered
What's been going on
Now that you have gone there's no other
Tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted but the truth is discovered

The Idiot Bastard Son

Written by Frank Zappa

The idiot bastard son
The father's a nazi
In Congress today
The mother's a hooker
Somewhere in L.A.

The idiot bastard son
Abandoned to perish
In back of a car
Kenny will stash him away
In a jar

The idiot boy!
Trying imagine all window are covered in green
All the time he would spend
At the church he'd attend
Warming his pew

Kenny will feed him and Ronnie will watch
The child will thrive and grow
And enter the world
Of liars and cheaters and people like you
Who smile and think they know
What this is about
You think you know
Everything maybe so
The song we sing, do you know?
We're listening

The idiot boy!
Trying imagine all window are covered in green
All the time he would spend
All the colors he'd blend
Where are they now?

The Mighty

Written by Sting

Walking this high road are warriors from an olden time
Curse on this land and the days far behind us
Dragons we've slain, rescued many maiden's fair
And no man ever dared break our stride or the brotherhood that binds us.

Brothers are we, marching on the roads of time
From this broken land and the days that defined us
All men are free, justice is a sword we hold
Trusting in the knights noble vow in the brotherhood that binds us.

When the broken are strong (Freak the mighty, freak the mighty)
When the beaten are proud (Freak the mighty, freak the mighty)
When the twisted can stand (Freak the mighty, freak the mighty)
When the silenced can laugh (Freak the mighty, freak the mighty)
When the haunted have turned (Freak the mighty, freak the mighty)
When the tortured are sane (Freak the mighty, freak the mighty)
When the blinded still stare (Freak the mighty, freak the mighty)
When will the poison remain (Freak the mighty, freak the mighty)
When the voiceless can sing (Freak the mighty, freak the mighty)
And the shackled can run (Freak the mighty, freak the mighty)
And this downtrodden man holds his face to the sun (Freak the mighty, freak the mighty)

We'll be walking high above the world.
Our legend will say ay ay ay ay ay

Freak the mighty...

The Pirate's Bride

Written by Sting

Sometimes in the light at the edge of the world
Is the ghost of a ship with it's black sail furled
And night after night she would stand on the shore
And dream of the love that she knew before

The tide rolls out, the tide rolls in
Without a thought for the ways of men

We set sail for the Spanish Main
To rob the ships of the Queen of Spain
And she would be his pirate's bride
She gave him the pistol and the sword at his side

The tide rolls out, the tide rolls in
Without a care for the ways of men
I'd give three ships of Spanish gold
To see my love again

Full fathom five my true love lies
In a fine wooden casket with gold on his eyes
Where is the glory and where is the pride?
Where is the joy for the pirate's bride?

The tide rolls out, the tide rolls in
Without a care for the ways of men

Here in the light at the edge of the world
He'd wait for a ship with it's black sail furled
And day after day he would stand on the shore
And dream of the life that he knew before

The tide rolls out, the tide rolls in
Without a care for the ways of men
I'd give three ships of Spanish gold
To see my love again

There Comes A Time

Written by Tony Williams

There comes a time when you were to be older
There comes a time when you want to be bolder
I love you more when it's over
I love you more when it's over

There comes a time when you're careful
There comes a time when you're doubtful
I love you more when you're spiteful
I love you more when you're spiteful

The Wind Cries Mary

Written by Jimi Hendrix

After all the jacks are in their boxes
And the clowns have all gone to bed
You can hear happiness
Staggering on down the street
Footprints dressed in red
And the wind whispers Mary

A broom is drearily sweeping
Up the broken pieces of yesterday's life
Somewhere a queen is weeping
Somewhere a king has no wife
And the wind cries Mary

The traffic lights they turn blue tomorrow
And shine the emptiness down on my bed
The tiny island sags downstream
'Cause the life they'd lived is dead
And the wind screams Mary

Will the wind ever remember
The names it has blown in the past
With its crutch, its old age and its wisdom
It whispers "No, this will be the last"
And the wind cries Mary

This Cowboy Song

Written by Sting

We rode all night across an endless desert
We had no moon to light our way
And though a billion stars were slowly turning
We lacked the consciences to pray

Our horses running like devil chasers
Those feet they hardly touched the ground
Yes, I'm familiar with the grey wolves howling
But I'm certain I never heard this sound

Devil to pay
On judgement day
Would Jesus strike me down
If I should pray this cowboy song

It's all I know
To bring me back into your arms
Your distant sun
Your shining light
You'll be my dog star shining
Tonight

I've been the lowest of the low on the planet
I've been a sinner all my days
And I was living with my hand on the trigger
I had no sense to change my ways

The priest asked if I'd embrace the resurrection
To suck the poison from my life
Just like an existential cowboy villain
His words were balanced on my knife

Devil to pay
On judgement day
Would Jesus strike me down
If I should pray

This cowboy song
It's all I know
To bring me back into your arms
Your distant sun
Your shining light
You'll be my dog star shining
Tonight

Every night
Every night
All my distances afar

This cowboy song
It's all I know
To bring me back into your arms
This cowboy song
This cowboy life
I'll be your dog star shining
Tonight

Dog star...

This Was Never Meant To Be

Written by Sting & Anne Dudley

This was never meant to be
All the signs were there to see
From the first moment that we met I knew
This was never meant to be

This was always doomed to fail
From the moment we set sail
All our instincts told us we were wrong
This was never meant to be

But soon we were enraptured in love's dance
When the dance ended I found
I couldn't live without you
And now one of my dreams is sad embers
Here in the cold of December
And now you're in the arms of someone else
I always knew that

This was always second best
Our love would fall at the first test
Common sense would tell us we were wrong
This was never meant to be

This was never meant to last
We drank our cup of love too fast
From the first moment that we met I knew
Now Miss, from our first kiss
I tell you: this was never meant to be

Three Steps To Heaven

Written by Eddie Cochran

Now there are three steps to heaven
Just listen and you will plainly see
And as I travel on and things go wrong
Just call it steps one, two and three.

The formula for heaven's very simple.
Just follow the rules and you will see
And as I travel on and things go wrong
Just call it steps one, two and three.

Step one, you find a girl to love.
Step two, she falls in love with you
Step three, you kiss and hold her tightly
Yeah, that sure seems like heaven to me.

Waters Of Tyne

I cannot get to my love if I would die;
The water of Tyne runs between her and me
And here I must stand with a tear in my e'e,
Both sighing and sickly, my sweetheart to see.

Oh, where is the boatman? Bring him to me,
To ferry me over the Tyne to my honey,
And I will remember the boatman and thee.

Oh, bring me a boatman, I'll give any money,
And you for your troubles rewarded shall be,
To ferry me over the Tyne to my honey,
Or scull her across that rough river to me.

Carnival!

We're Sending Our Love Down The Well

There's a hole in my heart,
As deep as a well,
For that poor little boy,
Who's stuck halfway to hell.

Though we can't get him out,
We'll do the next best thing,
We go on TV,
And sing, sing, sing.

And we're sending our love down the well,
All the way down.
We're sending our love down the well,
Down that well.

From the TV show The Simpsons

When We Dance

Written by Sting

If he loved you
Like I love you
I would walk away in shame
I'd move town, I'd change my name

When he watches you
When he comes to buy your soul
On your hand his golden rings
Like he owns the bird that sings

When we dance
Angels will run and hide their wings

The priest has said my soul
Salvation is in the balance of the angels
And underneath the wheels of passion
I keep my faith in my fashion

When we dance
Angels will run and hide their wings
(Oooh) I'm still in love with you

When we dance
Angels will run and hide their wings
I'm gonna find a place to live
Give you all I've got to give
I'm gonna love you more than life
If you'll only be my wife
I'm gonna love you night and day
I'm gonna try in every way
When we dance
Angels will run and hide their wings
I'm gonna find a place to live
Give you all I've got to give
I would love you more than life
If you'll only be my wife

If I could break down these walls
And shout my name at heaven's gate
I'd take these hands
And I'd destroy the dark machineries of fate,
Cathedrals are broken
Heaven's no longer above
Hellfire's a promise away
I'd still be saying
I'm still in love
Still in love
Still in love
Still in love...

He won't love you
Like I love you
He won't care for you this way
He'll mistreat you with disdain

Come and live with me
We'll have children of our own
I would love you more than life
If you'll come and be my wife

When we dance
Angels will run and hide their wings
I'm gonna love you more than life
If you'll only be my wife
I'm gonna love you night and day
I'm gonna try in every way
When we dance
Angels will run and hide their wings
I'm gonna find a place to live
Give you all I've got to give
I would love you more than life
If you'll only be my wife...

When we dance...

I had a dream last night
Dreamt you were by my side
Walking with me baby
My heart was filled with pride
I had a dream last night...

Windmills Of Your Mind

Written by Alan Bergman, Michel Jean Legrand & Marilyn Bergman

Round,
Like a circle in a spiral
Like a wheel within a wheel
Never ending or beginning
On an ever-spinning reel
Like a snowball down a mountain
Or a carnival balloon
Like a carousel that's turning
Running rings around the moon
Like a clock whose hands are sweeping
Past the minutes of its face
And the world is like an apple
Whirling silently in space
Like the circles that you find
In the windmills of your mind

Like a tunnel that you follow
To a tunnel of its own
Down a hollow to a cavern
Where the sun has never shone
Like a door that keeps revolving
In a half-forgotten dream
Like the ripples from a pebble
Someone tosses in a stream
Like a clock whose hands are sweeping
Past the minutes of its face
And the world is like an apple
Whirling silently in space
Like the circles that you find
In the windmills of your mind

Keys that jingle in your pocket
Words that jangle in your head
Why did summer go so quickly?
Was it something that you said?
Lovers walk along a shore
And leave their footprints in the sand
Was the sound of distant drumming
Just the fingers of your hand?
Pictures hanging in a hallway
And the fragment of this song
Half-remembered names and faces
But to whom do they belong?
When you knew that it was over
Were you suddenly aware
That the autumn leaves were turning
To the colour of her hair?

Like a circle in a spiral
Like a wheel within a wheel
Never ending or beginning
On an ever-spinning reel
As the images unwind
Like the circles that you find
In the windmills of your mind

Pictures hanging in a hallway
And the fragment of this song
Half-remembered names and faces
But to whom do they belong?
When you knew that it was over
Were you suddenly aware
That the autumn leaves were turning
To the colour of her hair?

Like a circle in a spiral
Like a wheel within a wheel
Never ending or beginning
On an ever-spinning reel
As the images unwind
Like the circles that you find
In the windmills of your mind

You Were Meant For Me

Written by Arthur Freed & Nacio Herb Brown

Life was a song
You came along
I lay awake the whole night through

If I should dare
To think you care
This is what I'd say to you:

You were meant for me
And I was meant for you

Nature fashioned you
And when she was done
You were all those good things
Rolled into one

You're like a plaintive melody
That never lets me be
I'm content the angels must have sent you
And they meant you just for me

You're like a plaintive melody
That never lets me be
I'm content the angels must have sent you
And they meant you just for me
