Any Other Fool
(dianne warren)
I couldnt see paradise right before my eyes
When I had you here by my side
I didnt know that no-one else
Could ever take your place
But, now I know
I know that I should have stayed
And seeing you tonight
I only wonder why
I ever said goodbye
Any other fool would never walk away
Even a fool would still be there
Holding you
Any other fool would know I never
Should have let you go
I had it all as any fool could see
Any other fool but me, oh, ahh, oh
Anyone else never would have let the feeling die
Anyone else would have fought to keep it alive
If they were in my shoes

I Don't Want To Hear It Anymore (mono)
(randy newman)
In my neighbourhood
We don't live so good
The rooms are small
And the buildings made of wood
I hear the neighbours talking 'bout you and me
I guess i heard it all
'cause the talk is loud
And the walls are much too thin
He don't really love her
That's what i heard them say
He sure wasn't thinking of her today, oh no
(he wasn't thinking of her today)
I saw them in the front yard
Said the boy in room 149
He was talking to a girl i've never seen before
And standing there together, oh they looked so good
I don't want to hear it anymore
(i don't want to hear it)
I don't want to hear it anymore

Checkmate
(n. hendryx)
Queen to your king
Dont be afraid to move away to safety
I know you well, I can tell when your heart is feelin lonely
Ive seen those knights in armour guardin your door
Oh, but Im gonna keep on comin til you cant move no more
You can bait me, fake me, yeah
But I keep on comin at ya
You break me, shake me, yeah

Shake me, take me, yeah

Oh, nothings been gained
Oh, I can see that your bishops lies then wonders
Oh, if he could stop me with the power he holds
It ties me, it ties me over with his prison, his goal
You can bait me, fake me

Son Of A Preacher Man
(john hurley / ronnie wilkins)
Billy-ray was a preachers son
And when his daddy would visit hed come along
When they gathered round and started talkin
Thats when billy would take me walkin
A-through the back yard wed go walkin
Then hed look into my eyes
Lord knows to my surprise
The only one who could ever reach me
Was the son of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever teach me
Was the son of a preacher man
Yes he was, he was, mmm, yes he was
Being good isnt always easy
No matter how hard I try
When he started sweet-talkin to me
Hed come and tell me everything is all right
Hed kiss and tell me everything is all right
Can I get away again tonight?
The only one who could ever reach me

Aint No Sun Since Youve Been Gone
(sylvia moy / norman whitfield / cornelius grant)
Into my life
You brought a glowing love
Like a ray of sunshine
From up above
One day out of a clear blue sky
You darkened my life with your words goodbye
Thats the day you left me for a stranger
Dont you know that when you left my life
Took on a change-a?
Now Im telling you it
Aint no sun since youve been gone
Theres a big black cloud hanging over my head
Cloud of loneliness I feel like Im dead
Aint no flowers blooming round here for sure
Since you chose to love me no more
I guess you know you took my sunshine away from me baby, boy
You took the life from my world
Crushed my dreams
And I dont mean maybe, baby, baby

Who Gets Your Love
(dennis lambert / brian potter)
In your sleep youve been talkin
Callin every other name but mine
And thats not a very encouraging sign
In my arms, youve been restless
Thinkin bout somebody else while holdin me
Well, if you want me to set you free
You dont have to ask for my permission
I dont wanna live in a broken home
I can do without an explanation
You dont have to spend tonight alone
Oh, tell me
Who gets your love when Im gone?
Will she kiss you with her eyes
Choose your ties, keep your pillow warm?
Baby, baby, who gets your love when Im gone?
When I move into the house
Down the street where I started from?
Oh, who gets your love?
Oh, people talk, I hear rumours

Time Waits For No One
(dan hartman / holly knight)
Loneliness can lock you up
Like prison walls around your heart
You waste away, you fall apart
The seconds tick away and the world is turning
So take me in your arms while the need is burning, baby
Time, time waits for no-one
Especially me, baby - dont know about you, oh
Time, time, time waits for no-one
So what about it - do you wanna run away with me?
Your tender words release my soul
You move so strong, youve got to know
Your eyes reveal that maybe we should try
The walls wont come down unless you open fire
We gotta make a move cause you cant deny it, baby
Time, time waits for no-one
Especially me, baby - dont know about you, oh
Time, time, time waits for no-one
So what about it - do you wanna run away, run away, run away?
You can run from me, but you cant run from yourself

Comin And Goin
Stay at home
Phone that should be ringin'
Quiet as a picture on the wall
Now, tea for one, a song I'm used to singin'
Walking up and down an empty hall
Takin' off a wrinkled dress
That you never got to see
Then you come a-knockin' at my door
You know you could've fooled me
You've got me comin' and goin' baby
And I never know exactly what to do
So I ask myself why should I care?
What is it I see in there?
That makes the same old line sound like it's new?
Oh I'm comin' and goin' crazy over you, ah
Ahh, you and me
Once we get together
For a little while we're Jack and Jill
Baby, baby, now face to face, it's too good to believe it
Sure enough, you leave me standing still

Yesterday When I Was Young
(charles aznavour / herbert kretzmer)
Spoken : somehow, it seems the love I knew was always the most destructive kind
Yesterday when I was young
The taste of life was sweet
As rain upon my tongue
I teased at life as if it were a foolish game
The way the evening breeze
May tease the candle flame
The thousand dreams I dreamed
The splendid things I planned
I always built to last on weak and shifting sand
I lived by night and shunned the naked light of day
And only now I see how the time ran away
Yesterday when I was young
So many lovely songs were waiting to be sung
So many wild pleasures lay in store for me
And so much pain my eyes refused to see
I ran so fast that time and youth at last ran out
I never stopped to think what life was all about
And every conversation that I can now recall

Di Fronte Allamore
(s. simoni / u. bindi)
Original italian song - later recorded with
English lyrics as I will always want you
Eri il ragazzo di unaltra
E non potevo parlarti
Ma tu sapessi per me
Che cosera vederti e saperti felice
You were another girls boyfriend
And I couldnt talk to you
But if you knew what it meant to me
To see you and know you were happy
Erl il ragazzo di unaltra
Ma ora tutto ? finito
E tu puoi fare di noi
Una cosa grandissima o due cose da niente
You were another girls boyfriend
But now thats all over
And we can be one great thing
Or two nonentities - its up to you
Sento che io faccio male
