Interesting. Not what I was expecting.
No tears
No fears
Remember there's always tomorrow
So what if we have to part
We'll be together again
Your kiss
Your smile
Are memories I'll treasure forever
So try thinking with your heart
We'll be together again
Times when I know you'll be lonesome
Times when I know you'll be sad
Don't let temptation surround you
Don't let the blues make you bad
Some day
Some way
We both have a lifetime before us
For parting is never goodbye
We'll be together again.

Oddly, I've never heard that.
I've never even heard of it.
("Vampire State Building." I'll bet someone stayed up all night thinking up that one.)
Now what's really odd is that I not only have that CD, but I listened to it just a few weeks ago.
I GET ALONG WITHOUT YOU VERY WELL
[I am feeling indecisive today, but there are versions by cget baker, Frank Sinatra, Billie Holiday, diana Krall, Nina Simone, Carly Simon and others. Just pick one if you want to hear it. They're all good.]
I get along without you very well
Of course I do
Except when soft rains fall
And drip from leaves, then I recall
The thrill of being sheltered in you arms
Of course I do
But I get along without you very well
I've forgotten you just like I should
Of course I have
Except to hear your name or someone's laugh
That is the same
But I've forgotten you just like I should
What a guy, what a fool am I
To think my breaking heart could kid the moon
What's in store, should I phone once more?
No, it's best that I stick to my tune
I get along without you very well
Of course I do
Except perhaps in spring, but I should
Never think of spring
For that would surely break my heart in two
[The recording of the chant (“The whole world’s watching”) is taken from the 1968 Democratic National Convention. Black militants begin their march (“God give us the blood to keep going”) as armed riot police attempt to disperse the crowd.]
Would you look around you now
And tell me what you see
Faces full of hate and fear
Faces full of me
Do you feel the rumblings
As your head comes crumbling down
Do you know what I mean?
Run, you better, run you know
The End is getting near
Feel the wind of something hot
Come whistling past your ear
As they try to get you
Where it will upset you
Down
Now you know what I mean
Someday you will see how long
We've waited for the time
To show you how we've died
To get together with you all
Twist and turn your head around
'Till everything's unclear
Twist and turn your arm around
Until it is not there
And they'd love to burn you
Or at least to turn you around
Now you know what I mean
Can you look around you now
And tell us what's to be
Can you look inside yourself
And tell us what you see
As you feel the rumblings
As your head comes crumbling down
And you know what I mean
Someday you will see how long
We've been waiting for the time
To show you how we've died
To get together with you all
You ask me what I think,
I tell you you ignore it.
The reasons for it make me crazy.
You ask me what is right,
Huh, you never hear it.
You're never nowhere near it baby.
I spent my life believing,
It would not end this way.
All the Years we wasted
All the Years we tried
All the restless hours
All the times we cried.
You ask me what I want,
I got no answer.
I know I'm only dancing faster.
So now we're stuck with us,
With you and all your stories.
Who's the fool and who'd the liar?
I spent my life believing
It would not end this way.
All the years we gambled.
All the years you lied.
All the hopeless dreamers.
All the dreams that died.
All the Years we wasted
All the Years we tried
All the restless hours
All the times we cried.
(This is the White Album version, not the single version)
You say you want a revolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world
You tell me that it's evolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world
But when you talk about destruction
Don't you know that you can count me out
Don't you know it's gonna be
All right, all right, all right
You say you got a real solution
Well, you know
We'd all love to see the plan
You ask me for a contribution
Well, you know
We're doing what we can
But if you want money for people with minds that hate
All I can tell is brother you have to wait
Don't you know it's gonna be
All right, all right, all right
You say you'll change the Constitution
Well, you know
We all want to change your head
You tell me it's the institution
Well, you know
You better free you mind instead
But if you go carrying pictures of chairman Mao
You ain't going to make it with anyone anyhow
Don't you know it's gonna be
All right, all right, all right
All right, all right, all right
All right, all right, all right
All right, all right
