| I Need You Recorded by Declan Ryan & The Regal Showband 1965 - Emerald 45MD1014 / Hurtin’ Inside ____________________________________________________ If you should ever think of leaving me, don't let it go too far The love of a lifetime, darling that's what you are, And now that I've found you, I'll be counting on you To love me forever, 'cause I need you, honest I do. Every single day my love for you keeps growing more and more, The lips of an angel never kissed me before, And now that I've found you, I'll be counting on you To love me forever, 'cause I need you, honest I do. It took an awful lot of looking to find you Oh what a time I've been through But darling it's not very easy Finding an angel like you Two of us together hand in hand, we stand at heaven's door, Together forever, I'll be yours ever more, And now that I've found you, I'll be counting on you To love me forever, 'cause I need you, honest I do. I need you, honest I do. (Originally recorded by Ricky Nelson) |

| Make Me An Island
(Hammond & Hazelwood) Recorded by Joe Dolan 1969 - Pye 7N17738 / If You Care A Little About Me ______________________________________________________ Different eyes, different sighs, different girls every day Different names, different games took my breath clean away; But I'm changed, rearranged, I'm enlightened and how you have caught me, you have taught me and I'm different now. Take me and break me and close all your windows and doors, Shut me off, cut me off, make me an island, I'm yours; Take me away from the world, take me away from the girls, Take me and break me and make me an island, I'm yours. Running round, shifting ground, that's the life I have seen, But I'm tired, uninspired and I've wiped my slate clean; You are mine, I am yours if the Lord will allow, You have caught me, you have taught me and I'm different now. (This song reached No.1 in 14 different countries in 1969 and reached No.3 in the British charts) |

| Look Out, Here Comes Tomorrow
(Diamond) Recorded by The Strangers 1967 - Pye 7N17274 / Mary, Mary ____________________________________ Look out, here comes tomorrow, That's when I'll have to choose. How I wish I could borrow, Someone else's shoes. Mary, oh what a sweet girl, Lips like strawberry pie. Sandra, the long hair and pig tails, Can't make up my mind. I see all kinds of sorrow, Wish I only loved one. Look out, here comes tomorrow, Oh how I wish tomorrow would never come Told them both that I loved them, Said it, and it was true. But I can't have both of them Don't know what to do. I see all kinds of sorrow, Wish I only loved one. Look out, here comes tomorrow, Oh how I wish tomorrow would never come (Originally recorded by The Monkees) |

| It Doesn't Matter Anymore Recorded by Brendan O'Brien & The Dixies _____________________________________________ There you go and baby here am I, Well you left me here so I could sit and cry; Golly gee what have you done to me, Well I guess it doesn't matter anymore. Do you remember baby last September, How you held me tight each and every night; Whoops a-daisy how you drove me crazy, But I guess it doesn't matter any more. There's no use in me a-cryin', I've done everything and now I'm sick of trying, I've thrown away my nights, wasted all my days over you. Now you go your way baby and I'll go mine, Now and forever 'till the end of time; And I'll find somebody new and baby We'll say we're through and you won't matter any more. (Written by Paul Anka and originally recorded by Buddy Holly) |

| Take A Letter Maria
(Greaves) Recorded by Roly Daniels 1970 - CBS4748 / Run Diane __________________________________________________ Last night as I got home, about a half past ten There was the woman I thought I knew in the arms of another man. I kept my cool, I ain't no fool, let me tell you what happened then I packed some clothes and I walked out and I ain't goin' back again. So take a letter Maria, address it to my wife Say I won't be coming home, gotta start a new life Oh Take a letter Maria, address it to my wife Send a copy to my lawyer, gotta start a new life. You've been many things but most of all a good secretary to me And it's time like this I feel, you've always been close to me Was I wrong to work nights, to try to build a good life? All work and no play has just cost me a wife. So take a letter Maria.... When a man loves a woman, it's hard to understand That she would find pleasure in the arms of another man; I never really noticed, how sweet you are to me It just so happens I'm free tonight, would you like to have dinner with me? So take a letter Maria.... |
