I was dreaming of the past
And my heart was beating fast
I began to lose control
I began to lose control
I didn't mean to hurt you
I'm sorry that I made you cry
Oh no, I didn't want to hurt you
I'm just a jealous guy
I was feeling insecure
You might not love me anymore
I was shivering inside
I was shivering inside
I didn't mean to hurt you
I'm sorry that I made you cry
Oh no, I didn't want to hurt you
I'm just a jealous guy
I didn't mean to hurt you
I'm sorry that I made you cry
Oh no, I didn't want to hurt you
I'm just a jealous guy
I was trying to catch your eyes
Thought that you was trying to hide
I was swallowing my pain
I was swallowing my pain
I didn't mean to hurt you
I'm sorry that I made you cry
Oh no, I didn't want to hurt you
I'm just a jealous guy, watch out
I'm just a jealous guy, look out babe
I'm just a jealous guy
Your multilingual business friend
has packed her bags and fled
Leaving only ash-filled ashtrays
and the lipsticked unmade bed
The mirror on reflection
has climbed back upon the wall
for the floor she found descended
and the ceiling was too tall
Your trouser cuffs are dirty
and your shoes are laced up wrong
you'd better take off your homburg
'cos your overcoat is too long
The town clock in the market square
stands waiting for the hour
when its hands they both turn backwards
and on meeting will devour
both themselves and also any fool
who dares to tell the time
And the sun and moon will shatter
and the signposts cease to sign
Cara Mia why must we say goodbye
Each time we part my heart wants to die
Darling hear my prayer
Cara Mia fair
I'll be your love till the end of time
Cara Mia mine
Cara Mia mine
Cara Mia mine
Cara Mia mine
Cara Mia why must we say goodbye?
Each time we part my heart wants to die
Darling hear my prayer
Cara Mia fair
I'll be your love till the end of time
Cara Mia mine
Cara Mia mine
Cara Mia mine
Cara Mia mine
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Each time we part my heart wants to die
Darling hear my prayer
Cara Mia fair
I'll be your love till the end of time
Sun rise this is the last day
that I'll ever see
out in the court-yard
they're ready for me
but I go to my Lord without fear
'cos I did what I did for Maria.
As I rode into town
with the sun going down
all the windows were barred
there was noone around
for they knew that I'd come
with my hand on my gun
and revenge in my heart for Maria
my dearest departed Maria.
Take an eye for an eye
and a life for a life
and somebody must die
for the death of my wife
yes I did what I did for Maria
I did what I did for Maria.
Laughter echoed across form
the end of the street
there was the man
I was burnin' to meet
and my mind was so calm and so clear.
as I took my revenge for Maria.
And he fell to the ground
raisin' dust all around
but I knew he was dead
long before he went down
it was quick it was clean
made it easy on him
which is more than he did for Maria.
When he did what he did for Maria.
If I give up the seat I've been saving
To some elderly lady or man
Am I being a good boy
Am I your pride and joy
Mother please if your pleased say I am
And if while in the course of my duty
I perform an unfortunate take
Would you punish me so, unbelievably so
Never again will I make that mistake
This feeling inside me could never deny me
The right to be wrong if I choose
And this pleasure I get
From say winning a bet
Is to lose
When I'm drinking my Bonaparte Shandy
Eating more than enough apple pies
Will I glance at my screen and see real human beings starve to death
Right in front of my eyes
Nothing old, nothing new, nothing ventured
Nothing gained, nothing still-born or lost,
Nothing further than proof nothing wilder than youth
Nothing older than time, nothing sweeter than wine
Nothing physically, recklessly, hopelessly blind
Nothing I couldn't say
Nothing why 'cause today
Nothing rhymed
This feeling inside me could never deny me
The right to be wrong if I choose,
And this pleasure I get
From say winning a bet
Is to lose
Nothing good, nothing bad, nothing ventured
Nothing gained, nothing still-born or lost,
Nothing further than proof nothing wilder than youth
Nothing older than time, nothing sweeter than wine
Nothing physically, recklessly, hopelessly blind
Nothing I couldn't say
Nothing why 'cause today
Nothing rhymed
I took my troubles down to Madame Ruth
You know that gypsy with the gold-capped tooth
She's got a pad down on Thirty-Fourth and Vine
Sellin' little bottles of Love Potion Number Nine
I told her that I was a flop with chicks
I'd been this way since 1956
She looked at my palm and she made a magic sign
She said, "What you need is Love Potion Number Nine"
She bent down and turned around and gave me a wink
She said, "I'm gonna make it up right here in the sink"
It smelled like turpentine, it looked like India ink
I held my nose, I closed my eyes, I took a drink
I didn't know if it was day or night
I started kissin' everything in sight
But when I kissed a cop down on Thirty-Fourth and Vine
He broke my little bottle of Love Potion Number Nine
I held my nose, I closed my eyes, I took a drink
I didn't know if it was day or night
I started kissin' everything in sight
But when I kissed a cop down on Thirty-Fourth and Vine
He broke my little bottle of Love Potion Number Nine
Love Potion Number Nine, Love Potion Number Nine
Love Potion Number Nine
What a drag it is getting old
"Kids are different today,"
I hear ev'ry mother say
Mother needs something today to calm her down
And though she's not really ill
There's a little yellow pill
She goes running for the shelter of a mother's little helper
And it helps her on her way, gets her through her busy day
"Things are different today,"
I hear ev'ry mother say
Cooking fresh food for a husband's just a drag
So she buys an instant cake and she burns her frozen steak
And goes running for the shelter of a mother's little helper
And two help her on her way, get her through her busy day
Doctor please, some more of these
Outside the door, she took four more
What a drag it is getting old
"Men just aren't the same today"
I hear ev'ry mother say
They just don't appreciate that you get tired
They're so hard to satisfy, You can tranquilize your mind
So go running for the shelter of a mother's little helper
And four help you through the night, help to minimize your plight
Doctor please, some more of these
Outside the door, she took four more
What a drag it is getting old
"Life's just much too hard today,"
I hear ev'ry mother say
The pusuit of happiness just seems a bore
And if you take more of those, you will get an overdose
No more running for the shelter of a mother's little helper
They just helped you on your way, through your busy dying day
In the year 2525, if man is still alive
If woman can survive, they may find
In the year 3535
Ain't gonna need to tell the truth, tell no lie
Everything you think, do and say
Is in the pill you took today
In the year 4545
You ain't gonna need your teeth, won't need your eyes
You won't find a thing to chew
Nobody's gonna look at you
In the year 5555
Your arms hangin' limp at your sides
Your legs got nothin' to do
Some machine's doin' that for you
In the year 6565
You won't need no husband, won't need no wife
You'll pick your son, pick your daughter too
From the bottom of a long glass tube
In the year 7510
If God's a coming, He oughta make it by then
Maybe He'll look around Himself and say
Guess it's time for the judgment day
In the year 8510
God is gonna shake His mighty head
He'll either say I'm pleased where man has been
Or tear it down, and start again
In the year 9595
I'm kinda wonderin' if man is gonna be alive
He's taken everything this old earth can give
And he ain't put back nothing
Now it's been ten thousand years
Man has cried a billion tears
For what, he never knew, now man's reign is through
But through eternal night, the twinkling of starlight
So very far away, maybe it's only yesterday

Hey, Mr. Tambourine man, play a song for me
I'm not sleepy and there ain't no place I'm going to
Hey, Mr. Tambourine man, play a song for me
In the jingle jangle morning, I'll come followin' you
Take me for a trip upon your magic swirling ship
All my senses have been stripped
And my hands can't feel to grip and my toes too numb to step
Wait only for my boot heels to be wandering
I'm ready to go anywhere, I'm ready for to fade
Into my own parade
Cast your dancing spell my way
I promise to go under it
Hey, Mr. Tambourine man, play a song for me
I'm not sleepy and there ain't no place I'm going to
Hey, Mr. Tambourine man, play a song for me
In the jingle jangle morning, I'll come followin' you
I-I love the colorful clothes she wears
And the way the sunlight plays upon her hair
I hear the sound of a gentle word
On the wind that lifts her perfume through the air
I'm pickin' up good vibrations
She's giving me excitations (Oom bop bop)
I'm pickin' up good vibrations (Good vibrations, oom bop bop)
She's giving me excitations (Excitations, oom bop bop)
Good, good, good, good vibrations (Oom bop bop)
She's giving me excitations (Excitations, oom bop bop)
Good, good, good, good vibrations (Oom bop bop)
She's giving me excitations (Excitations)
Close my eyes, she's somehow closer now
Softly smile, I know she must be kind
When I look in her eyes
She goes with me to a blossom world
I'm pickin' up good vibrations
She's giving me excitations (Oom bop bop)
I'm pickin' up good vibrations (Good vibrations, oom bop bop)
She's giving me excitations (Excitations, oom bop bop)
Good, good, good, good vibrations (Oom bop bop)

(Oh, my my, what)
Gotta keep those lovin' good vibrations a-happenin' with her

It's a hard world to get a break in
All the good things have been taken
But girl there are ways
To make certain things pay
Though I'm dressed in these rags
I'll wear sable some day
Hear what I say
I'm going to ride this surf in
No more time spent sweatin' rent
Hear my command?
I'm breakin' loose, it ain't no use
Holdin' me down, stickin' around
But baby (baby), remember (remember),
It's my life and I'll do what I want
It's my mind and I'll think what I want
Show me I'm wrong, hurt me sometime
But someday I'll treat you real fine.
There'll be women and their fortunes
Who'll just want to mother orphans
Are you going to cry
When I'm squeezin' you right
Taking all I can get, no regrets
When I open their lives
And live on their money
Believe me, honey, that money
Can you believe?
I ain't no saint, no complaints
So girl before I [?]
But baby (baby), remember (remember)
It's my life and I'll do what I want
It's my mind and I'll think what I want
Show me I'm wrong, hurt me sometime
But someday I'll treat you real fine.
It's my life and I'll do what I want
(Don't push me!)
It's my mind and I'll think what I want
(It's my life!)
It's my life and I'll do what I want
(I can do what I want!)
You must have heard of little bo-peep
She was the girl with all the sheep
Well one day it's sad to say
Her sheep all ran away
She was lonely and she was blue
She was sad and crying too
So I told her what to do
I said put on your dancing shoes
Put on your dancing shoes (3)
And dance away your blues
You must have heard of Jack & Jill
They're the ones who went up the hill
Jack fell down and broke his crown
And Jill came tumbling after
What a noise their crying made
It was a ringing through the glades
So I told them what to do
And I changed their tears to laughter
Put on your dancing shoes (3)
And dance away your blues
A friend of mine had an accident
Laughed so hard off the wall he went
Humpty Dumpty was his name
I guess you have heard the same
He was lying on the ground
Bits and pieces all around
So I told him what to do
I said put on your dancing shoes
Put on your dancing shoes (3)
And dance away your blues
Kiss me quick, while we still have this feeling
Hold me close and never let me go
'Cause tomorrows can be so uncertain
Love can fly and leave just hurting
Kiss me quick because I love you so
Kiss me quick and make my heart go crazy
Sigh that sigh and whisper oh-so low
Tell me that tonight will last forever
Say that you will leave me never
Kiss me quick because I love you so
Let the band keep playing while we are swaying
Let's keep on praying that we'll never stop
Kiss me quick, just can't stand this waiting
'Cause your lips are lips I long to know
Oh, that kiss will open heaven's door
And we'll stay there forevermore
Kiss me quick because I love you so
When the mist's a-rising
And the rain is falling
And the wind is blowing cold across the moor
I hear the voice of my darlin'
The girl I loved and lost a year ago
(Johnny remember me)
Well it's hard to believe I know
But I hear her singing in the sighing of the wind
Blowin' in the tree tops way above me
(Johnny remember me)
Yes I'll always remember
Till the day I die
I'll hear her cry
Johnny remember me
Well some day I guess
I'll find myself another little girl
To take the place of my true love
But as long as I live I know
I'll hear her singing in the sighing of the wind
Blowin' in the tree tops way above me
(Johnny remember me)
Yes I'll always remember
Till the day I die
I'll hear her cry
Johnny remember me
Heavenly shades of night are falling, it's twilight time
Out of the mist your voice is calling, it is twilight time
When purple colored curtains mark the end of day
I'll hear you, my dear, at twilight time
Deepening shadows gather splendor as day is done
Fingers of night will soon surrender the setting sun
I count the moments darling till you're here with me
Together at last at twilight time
Here in the afterglow of day
We keep our rendezvous beneath the blue
Here in the sweet and same old way
I fall in love again as I did then
Deep in the dark your kiss will thrill me like days of old
Lighting the spark of love that fills me with dreams untold
Each day I pray for evening just to be with you
Together at last at twilight time
Here in the afterglow of day
We keep our rendezvous beneath the blue
Here in the sweet and same old way
I fall in love again as I did then
Deep in the dark your kiss will thrill me like days of old
Lighting the spark of love that fills me with dreams untold
Each day I pray for evening just to be with you
Together at last at twilight time
My little one as the years go by
There may be times when your heart will cry
And if your in need of a word of cheer
You can always turn to me
My little one though I love you so
There'll come a day I must let you go
But you'll have my love for eternity
Little one you are everything to me
My darling I love you so much
So much there's nothing in the world nothing that I wouldn't do for you
And it gives me such a wonderful feeling to know your mine
Fills me with more happiness than I've ever known before
And each night as you slip off to dream land
I thank heaven for giving me you
spoken verse ends
My little one though I love you so
There'll come a day I must let you go
But you'll have my love for eternity
There's a kind of hush
All over the world tonight
All over the world
You can hear the sound of lovers in love
You know what I mean
Just the two of us and nobody else in sight
There's nobody else
And I'm feeling good just holding you tight
So listen very carefully
Move closer now
And you will see what I mean
It isn't a dream
The only sound that you will hear
Is when I whisper in your ear
I love you forever and ever
There's a kind of hush
All over the world tonight
All over the world
You can hear the sound of lovers in love
La la la
La la la
La la la
So listen very carefully
Move closer now
And you will see what I mean
It isn't a dream
The only sound that you will hear
Is when I whisper in your ear
I love you forever and ever
There's a kind of hush
All over the world tonight
All over the world
People just like us are fallin' in love
Yeah, they're fallin' in love
Hush, they're fallin' in love
Hush
Si je t'oublie pendant le jour
Je passe mes nuits а te maudire
Et quand la lune se retire
J'ai l'arme vide et le coeur lourd
La nuit tu m'apparais immense
Je tends les bras pour te saisir
Mais tu prends un malin plaisir
A te jouer de mes avances
La nuit, je deviens fou, je deviens fou
Et puis ton rire fend le noir
Et je ne sais plus oщ chercher
Quand tout se tait revient l'espoir
Et je me reprends а t'aimer
Tantфt tu me reviens fugace
Et tu m'appelles pour me narguer
Et chaque fois mon sang se glace
Ton rire vient tout effacer
La nuit, je deviens fou, je deviens fou
Le jour dissipe ton image
Et tu repars je ne sais oщ
Vers celui qui te tient en cage
Celui qui va me rendre fou
La nuit je deviens fou, je deviens fou
Nous n'irons plus jamais
Où tu m'as dit "Je t'aime"
Nous n'irons plus jamais
Tu viens de décider
Nous n'irons plus jamais
Ce soir, c'est plus la peine
Nous n'irons plus jamais
Comme les autres années
[פזמון:] x2
Capri, c'est fini
Et dire que c'était la ville
De mon premier amour
Capri, c'est fini
Je ne crois pas
Que j'y retournerai un jour
Nous n'irons plus jamais
Où tu m'as dit "Je t'aime"
Nous n'irons plus jamais
Comme les autres années
Parfois, je voudrais bien
Te dire "Recommençons"
Mais je perds le courage
Sachant que tu diras non
[פזמון] x2
Nous n'irons plus jamais
Mais je me souviendrai
Du premier rendez-vous
Que tu m'avais donné
Nous n'irons plus jamais
Comme les autres années
Nous n'irons plus jamais
Plus jamais, plus jamais
[פזמון]
Capri, oh ! C'est fini
Et dire que c'était la ville
De mon premier amour
Capri, oh ! C'est fini
Je ne crois pas
Que j'y retournerai un jour
Oh ! Capri, oh ! C'est fini
Et dire que c'était la ville
De mon premier amour
Oh ! Capri, c'est fini
Je ne crois pas
Que j'y retournerai un jour
Oh ! Capri, oh ! C'est fini
Et dire que c'était la ville
De mon premier amour
Love me, please love me
Je suis fou de vous
Pourquoi vous moquez-vous chaque jour
De mon pauvre amour ?
Love me, please love me
Je suis fou de vous
Vraiment prenez-vous tant de plaisir
A me voir souffrir
Si j'en crois votre silence
Vos yeux pleins d'ennui
Nul espoir n'est permis
Pourtant je veux jouer ma chance
Même si, même si
Je devais y brûler ma vie
Love me, please love me
Je suis fou de vous
Mais vous moquerez-vous toujours
De mon pauvre amour ?
Devant tant d'indifférence
Parfois j'ai envie
De me fondre dans la nuit
Au matin je reprends confiance
Je me dis, je me dis
Tout pourrait changer aujourd'hui
Love me, please love me
Je suis fou de vous
Pourtant votre lointaine froideur
Déchire mon cœur
Love me, please love me
Je suis fou de vous
Mais vous moquerez-vous toujours
I'm so tired, I haven't slept a wink
I'm so tired, my mind is on the blink
I wonder, should I get up and fix myself a drink?
No no no
I'm so tired, I don't know what to do
I'm so tired, my mind is set on you
I wonder, should I call you? But I know what you would do
You'd say I'm putting you on, but it's no joke
It's doing me harm, you know I can't sleep
I can't stop my brain, you know it's three weeks
I'm going insane
You know I'd give you everything I've got
For a little peace of mind
I'm so tired, I'm feeling so upset
Although I'm so tired, I'll have another cigarette
And curse Sir Walter Raleigh
He was such a stupid git
You'd say I'm putting you on, but it's no joke
It's doing me harm, you know I can't sleep
I can't stop my brain, you know it's three weeks
I'm going insane
You know I'd give you everything I've got
For a little peace of mind
I'll give you everything I've got
For a little peace of mind
I'll give you everything I've got
