  Come Back To Stay (Soper)
Recorded by Dickie Rock
1966 - Pye 7N17063 / Can’t Make Up My Mind
___________________________________________
My love, I need your touch,
I need your love so very much.
Since you went away
I've cried for you each night and day.
 
The day you went away I said I didn't mind.
Now I know that you have left a broken heart behind.
 
Please, come back to stay
And promise me you'll never stray.
I promise I'll be true and that I'll never make you blue.
 
For no-one can make your place
Your smile, your lips, your eyes, your face.
Please, darling - oh please,
Come back to me to stay.

  Young Love
Recorded by Chris Grace & The Donie Collins Showband
1966 - Pye 7N17004 / Mexican Boy
______________________________________________________________
They say for every boy and girl
There's just one love in this whole world
And I know I've found mine
The heavenly touch of your embrace
Tells me no one could take your place
Ever in my heart
 
Chorus:
Young love (young love), first love (first love)
Filled with true devotion,
Young love (young love), our love (our love)
We share with deep emotion.
 
Just one kiss from your sweet lips
Will tell me that your love is real
And I can feel that it's true;
We will vow to one another
There will never be another
Love for you or for me.
 
Repeat Chorus

(Originally recorded by Tab Hunter, also The Crew Cuts and Sonny James)

  Little Arrows
Recorded by Brendan O'Brien & The Dixies
1968 - Pye 7N17591 / City Of Tears
______________________________________________________________
There's a boy a little boy shooting arrows in the blue,
And he's aiming them at someone but the question is at who?
Is it me or is it you? It's hard to tell until you're hit
But you'll know it when they hit you 'cause they hurt a little bit.

Here they come floating out of the blue
Little arrows for me and for you;
You're falling in love again
You're falling in love again
 
Little arrows in your clothing, little arrows in your hair
When you're in love you'll find those little arrows everywhere;
Little arrows that will hit you once and hit you once again
Little arrows will hit everyone every now and then
 
Some folks run and others hide but there's nothing that you can do
And some folks put on armour but the arrows go straight through;
So you see there's no escape, so why not face it and admit
That you love those little arrows when they fall a little bit.

  Help Me Rhonda (Wilson)
Recorded by Tony Kenny & The Sands
_______________________________________________________________
Well since she put me down I've been out doin' in my head
I come in late at night and in the mornin' I just lay in bed;
Well, Rhonda you look so fine
And I know it wouldn't take much time
For you to help me Rhonda
Help me get her out of my heart.
 
Chorus:

Help me Rhonda, help, help me Rhonda,
Help me Rhonda, help, help me Rhonda,
Help me Rhonda, help, help me Rhonda,
Help me Rhonda, help, help me Rhonda,
Help me Rhonda, help, help me Rhonda,
Help me Rhonda, help, help me Rhonda,
Help me Rhonda yeah,
Get her out of my heart.
 
She was gonna be my wife and I was gonna be her man
But she let another guy come between us and it shattered our plans;
Well, Rhonda you caught my eye and I can give you lotsa reasons why
You gotta help me Rhonda, help me get her out of my heart
 
Repeat Chorus

(Originally recorded by The Beach Boys)

  I'll Be Your Baby Tonight (Dylan)
Recorded by Don Duggan & The Savoys
1968 - Pye 7N17549 / Think Of Me
__________________________________
Close your eyes, close the door,
You don't have to worry any more.
I'll be your baby tonight.

Shut the light, shut the shade,
You don't have to be afraid.
I'll be your baby tonight.

Well, that mockingbird's gonna sail away,
We're gonna forget it.
That big, fat moon is gonna shine like a spoon,
But we're gonna let it,
You won't regret it.

Kick your shoes off, do not fear,
Bring that bottle over here.
I'll be your baby tonight.

(Originally recorded by Bob Dylan)
