🎤 [LYRICS]
Walk away,
You came into my life and then you went away.
Is there nothing I can do to try and make you stay?
I can see you in the arms of another girl.
You shattered my world!
Suddenly,
I'm not half the woman that I used to be.
Now all I have is memories.
You took my love, you took my love
You took my love, you took my love
And left me helpless, helpless.
You took my love, you took my love
You took my love, you took my love
And left me helpless, helpless.
All alone,
We had a deal together now I'm all alone.
I shared a life with you and now I don't belong.
I'll have to start a new life on my own,
But I'm not that strong!
Suddenly,
I'm not half the woman that I used to be.
Now all I have to hold on to is memories.
I just cannot imagine all this treachery.
Now all I have is memories!
You took my love, you took my love
You took my love, you took my love
And left me helpless, helpless.
You took my love, you took my love
You took my love, you took my love
And left me helpless, helpless.
You took my love, you took my love
You took my love, you took my love
And left me helpless, helpless.
You took my love, you took my love
You took my love, you took my love
And left me helpless, helpless.
You took my love, you took my love
You took my love, you took my love
And left me helpless, helpless.
You took my love, you took my love
You took my love, you took my love
And left me helpless, helpless.
You took my love, you took my love
You took my love, you took my love
And left me helpless, helpless.
You took my love, you took my love
You took my love, you took my love
And left me helpless, helpless.

🎵 [SONG INFO]
One Way Ticket is a song written by Jack Keller and Hank Hunter.
It was originally performed by American singer Neil Sedaka and popularized by British disco band Eruption.
Neil Sedaka version
The track was originally performed by Neil Sedaka and included as the B-side on Sedakas 1959 single Oh! Carol.
In 1961, the song featured in the track listing of his third studio album, Neil Sedaka Sings Little Devil and His Other Hits, but was never released as a standalone single. Despite this, the song made it to number one on the Japanese pop charts, where it was affectionately called The Choo-Choo Train Song.
The lyrics allude to several popular songs of the late 1950s, including Lonesome Town, Heartbreak Hotel, Bye Bye Love, Gotta Travel On, Lonely Teardrops, A Fool Such as I, and I Cried a Tear.
Eruption version
One Way Ticket was covered by British disco band Eruption for their second album, Leave a Light. The song became a big hit in Europe in the first half of 1979, topping charts in Austria and Switzerland, and reaching top 10 across Europe.
This song inspired the item song Hari Om Hari from the Hindi film Pyara Dushman (1980).
One Way Ticket is now one of the bands trademark hits, along with their cover of I Cant Stand the Rain.

🎵 [SONG INFO]
Brother, Can You Spare a Dime? is one of the best-known American songs of the Great Depression.
Written by lyricist Yip Harburg and composer Jay Gorney, it was part of the 1932 musical revue Americana; the melody is based on a Russian-Jewish lullaby.
The song tells the story of the universal everyman, whose honest work towards achieving the American dream has been foiled by the economic collapse.
Unusual for a Broadway song, it was composed largely in a minor key.
The song became best known through recordings by Bing Crosby and Rudy Vallée that were released in late 1932.
The song received positive reviews and was one of the most popular songs of 1932.
As one of the few popular songs during the era to discuss the darker aspects of the collapse, it came to be viewed as an anthem of the Great Depression.
Background
The Great Depression in the United States, which started with the 1929 Wall Street crash, had a severe impact on the country.
In 1932, 25 percent of American men were unemployed.
After his appliance business went bankrupt, Yip Harburg had gone into the music business, working as a lyricist.
The melody derives from a Jewish lullaby that the composer Jay Gorney, who emigrated to the United States in 1906, heard in his native Russia. Initially, it had other lyrics which discussed a romantic breakup.
Gorney recalled that the pair came up with the title Brother, Can You Spare a Dime? after walking in the Central Park where they heard unemployed men asking Can you spare a dime?
Harburg recalled that he was working on a song for the musical Americana: We had to have a title... Not to say, my wife is sick, Ive got six children, the Crash put me out of business, hand me a dime. I hate songs of that kind.
Harburgs worksheets show that he went through several drafts of the lyrics, which included a satirical version attacking John D. Rockefeller and other tycoons. However, over time Harburg moved towards more concrete imagery, resulting in the final version.
Both Gorney and Harburg were socialists.
Composition and lyrical interpretation
The song is about a man who has sought the American dream, but was foiled by the Great Depression. He is the universal everyman who holds various professions, being a farmer and a construction worker as well as a veteran of World War I: it is intended to embrace all listeners.
The man is someone who kept faith in America, and now America has betrayed him. After three years of the Depression, the man has lost his job and is reduced to begging for charity. He recognizes the man whose dime (equivalent to $1.88 in 2024) he is asking for.
The lyrics refer to Yankee Doodle Dum, a reference to patriotism, and the evocation of veterans also recalls the mid-1932 Bonus Army protests about military bonuses payable only after 21 years.
Harburg said in an interview: the man is really saying: I made an investment in this country. Where the hell are my dividends? ... [The song] doesnt reduce him to a beggar. It makes him a dignified human being, asking questions—and a bit outraged, too, as he should be.
Brother, Can You Spare a Dime? has an unusual structure for a Broadway song.
First, rather than starting in a major key, as most Broadway songs do, it begins in a minor key, which is darker and more appropriate for the Depression. When discussing the prosperous past, the melody jumps an octave on the words building a dream, emphasizing the dream, and moves briefly into a major key, evoking energy and optimism. This is placed in baffling and poignant contrast with the reality (standing in line, / Just waiting for bread). The song then reverts to the augmented dominant of the minor key in the word time in the line Once I built a railroad, made it run / Made it race against time, marking the end of prosperous times, and changing to a wistful mood. Each of the three main stanzas end in a direct appeal to the listener, Brother, Can You Spare a Dime? The bridge deals with the singers experiences as a veteran of the Great War, falling from patriotism looked swell to the discordant harmonies of slogging through hell. The song then ends, not on a note of resignation, but with anger – repeating the beginning an octave higher but with a significant change: the friendly Brother, can you spare a dime? is replaced with the more assertive Buddy, can you spare a dime?

🎵 [SONG INFO]
Suffragette City is a song by the English singer-songwriter David Bowie. It was originally released in April 1972 as the B-side of the single Starman and subsequently appeared on his fifth studio album The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars (1972). The song was later reissued as a single in 1976, with the US single edit of Stay as the B-side, to promote the compilation album Changesonebowie in the UK. Co-produced by Bowie and Ken Scott, it was recorded by Bowie at Trident Studios in London with his backing band the Spiders from Mars, consisting of Mick Ronson, Trevor Bolder and Mick Woodmansey, at a late stage of the albums sessions. The song was originally offered to English band Mott the Hoople, who declined it and recorded Bowies All the Young Dudes instead. It is a glam rock song that is influenced by the music of Little Richard and the Velvet Underground. The lyrics include a reference to Anthony Burgess novel A Clockwork Orange and the lyric Oooohh wham bam, thank you, maam.
Suffragette City received acclaim from music critics, with many praising the guitar work, the bands performance, the false ending, the lyric and the songs power. It has subsequently been called one of Bowies greatest songs by multiple publications, including NME. Bowie performed the song frequently during his concert tours and it has appeared on multiple compilation albums. It has been remastered several times, including 2012 for the 40th anniversary of the album; this version was included as part of the 2015 box set Five Years (1969–1973).
Release and reception
Suffragette City was originally released on 28 April 1972 by RCA Records as the B-side of Bowies single Starman (as RCA 2199). It was subsequently released as the 10th and penultimate track on his fifth studio album The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars, on 16 June of that year. RCA reissued the track as the A-side of a single (RCA 2726) on 9 July 1976, to promote the compilation album Changesonebowie in the UK, with the US single edit of the Station to Station track Stay as the B-side. The single failed to chart.
Since its release, Suffragette City has received critical acclaim, with many writers praising the guitar work. In a review of Ziggy Stardust on its release, Richard Cromelin of Rolling Stone called Suffragette City Bowies supreme moment as a rock & roller. Noting the Velvet Underground influence, he praised the guitar work in the second half and the false ending, writing that the lyric Oooohh Wham Bam Thank you Maam! brings you back into it and would make you want to do somersaults. Cromlin concluded by saying that theres only one thing left for the Star, quoting the lyric Theres only room for one and here she comes, here she comes.
In 2015, Ultimate Classic Rock placed the track on their list of the top 200 songs of the 1970s, writing, this song underscored Bowies broad interests – he pulled in references from Charles Mingus and A Clockwork Orange – even as it showcased his willingness to experiment with things like the ARP synth.
Ian Fortnam of Louder, in a review ranking every song on The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars from worst to best, placed Suffragette City at number five, calling it Ziggys most reconstructed rocker. Also praising the false ending and famous hook, he ends his review by describing the track as glam rock in excelsis.

💿 [SONG INFO]
Java Jive is a song written by Ben Oakland and Milton Drake in 1940 and most famously recorded that year by The Ink Spots, whose recording reached no.17 on the U.S. Pop charts and is considered by many to be the definitive version.
The song is also heard in the 1942 movie In This Our Life.
The lyrics speak of the singers love for coffee and tea, and also reflect the slang of that time, including a reference to Mr. Moto, a Japanese film spy. The song originally featured the couplet Im not keen about a bean / Unless it is a cheery beery bean, as a pun on the song Ciribiribin, but the Ink Spots lead singer, Deek Watson, inadvertently sang it as cheery cheery bean, and recordings by subsequent artists have generally either followed suit or changed it to chili chili bean.

🎵 [SONG INFO]
Eye of the Tiger is a song by the American rock band Survivor. It was written as the theme song for the 1982 film Rocky III and released that year as a single from Survivors third album, Eye of the Tiger.
Sylvester Stallone, the director and star of Rocky III, enlisted Survivor after Queen denied him permission to use their song Another One Bites the Dust. Survivor derived lyrics, including the title, from dialogue in the film, and conceived a riff with chord changes to match the punches in the boxing scenes.
Eye of the Tiger reached number one on the charts of many countries. In the US, it was number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart for six weeks, spent 15 consecutive weeks in the top 10, and was the second-bestselling single of 1982. It was certified platinum in August 1982, for sales of two million copies. In the UK, Eye of the Tiger sold 956,000 copies and was number one on the UK singles chart for four consecutive weeks.
At the 25th Annual Grammy Awards, Eye of the Tiger won Best Rock Performance by Duo or Group with Vocal and was nominated for Song of the Year. At the 55th Academy Awards, it was nominated for Best Original Song. It has been used without authorization in several political campaigns, which Survivor has opposed.
Writing
By 1982, the American band Survivor had released two unsuccessful albums and were concerned they would be dropped by their record label. That year, the director and actor Sylvester Stallone enlisted them to write a song for his film Rocky III, after Queen denied him permission to use Another One Bites the Dust. Stallone asked for something street with a pulse to match the punches of the boxing scenes. He sent them a copy of the montage used in the films introduction, depicting the boxer Rocky Balboa and the ascent of his rival, Clubber Lang.
Eye of the Tiger was written by guitarist Frankie Sullivan and keyboardist Jim Peterik. They conceived a riff based on chord changes to mirror the timing of punches. The title was taken from a line spoken by the Rocky character Apollo Creed: You had that eye of the tiger, man, the edge ... You gotta get it back. Stallone took the phrase from the 1969 film A Dream of Kings.
Survivor initially planned to title the song Survival, and had the chorus: Rising up to the spirit of our rival / And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night / And it all comes down to survival, with survival rhyming with rival. Peterik said: That [eye of the tiger] hook is so strong, and rival doesnt have to be a perfect rhyme with the word tiger. We made the right choice and went with Eye of the Tiger.
Survivor recorded a demonstration tape at the Chicago Recording Company on February 1, 1982. Sullivan was so destitute that he used a guitar with a broken headstock he had glued back together. The band attempted to capture a drum sound similar to that of the Led Zeppelin drummer John Bonham. Stallone loved the demo and insisted on using it in the film. Survivor rerecorded it for the album and single releases. The music video was filmed in San Francisco.
Release and reception
Eye of the Tiger was played extensively on MTV and radio, and topped charts worldwide during 1982. In the United States, it held number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart for six weeks. In August 1982, it was certified double platinum in the US for sales of two million copies. Eye of the Tiger sold 956,000 copies in the UK and was number one on the UK singles chart for four weeks. It was the UKs third best-selling single in 1982. By February 2015, It had sold more than 4.1 million in downloads in the US. Sullivan felt people related to the message of self-empowerment: Its about getting your ass out of bed. Its about saying: Im not going to try to go to the gym Monday – I am going to go to the gym Monday.

![Mr Joe English - Lay Lady Lay (Bob Dylan Cover)
From Lay Lady Lay
Label: Fontana – TF 1034 / 267 951 TF
Format: Vinyl, 7, 45 RPM, Single, Mono
Country: UK
Released: May 30, 1969
Tracklist
A Lay Lady Lay
Written-By – Bob Dylan
B Two Minute Silence
Written-By – Paul Korda
Producer – Paul Korda
Lay Lady Lay, sometimes rendered Lay, Lady, Lay, is a song written by Bob Dylan and originally released in 1969 on his Nashville Skyline album.
Like many of the tracks on the album, Dylan sings the song in a low croon, rather than in the high nasal singing style associated with his earlier (and eventually later) recordings.
The song has become a standard and has been covered by numerous bands and artists over the years.
The song, Dylans final top 10 hit, peaked at No. 7 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Bob Dylans version
Lay Lady Lay was originally written for the soundtrack of the film Midnight Cowboy but wasnt submitted in time to be included in the finished film.
Joel Whitburn said instead that the song was written for his wife Sarah Lowndes.
In a 1971 interview for which transcripts were auctioned in 2020, Dylan said the song was written for Barbra Streisand, with Streisand later adding that Dylan wanted to sing a duet with her.
Dylans recording was released as a single in July 1969 and quickly became his fourth and last top 10 U.S. hit, peaking at no.7 on the Billboard Hot 100 for the consecutive weeks of September 6 and 13.
The single did even better in the United Kingdom where it reached no.5 on the UK Singles Chart.
Covers
Phil Everly of the Everly Brothers stated in an interview that Dylan offered the song to them backstage after an appearance by the duo in New York.
Everly asked Dylan if he had any new songs that they might record, and answering Yes, Dylan picked up a guitar and proceeded to sing them the song.
But he sang so softly, the Everlys thought they heard Dylan sing, Lay lady lay, lay across my big breasts, babe.
Thinking it was a song about lesbians, Don Everly declined the song.
Months later, when they heard Dylans version on the radio and realized theyd misheard the lyrics, the Everlys felt theyd missed a big opportunity and later recorded the song on their EB 84 album.
The Byrds recording of Lay Lady Lay was released as a single on May 2, 1969 and reached No.132 on the Billboard chart but failed to break into the UK Singles Chart.
The Byrds recorded Lay Lady Lay on March 27, 1969 but producer Bob Johnston overdubbed a female choir on to the recording on April 18, 1969 without The Byrds consent.
The group were incensed, feeling that the choral overdub was incongruous and an embarrassment.
Duran Duran recorded an ethereal wave version of the song, appearing as track five on their 1995 covers album, Thank You.
The American band Ministry released a version of the song as a single and as part of their 1996 album, Filth Pig.
