Why Don't You Do Right?
(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 (back to top)

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 broom
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

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"
