Will Ye Go LASSIE GO

Arranged gititka

1.Oh the summertime is coming

And the trees are sweetly blooming

And the wild mountain thyme

Grows around the blooming heather

CHORUS

Will ye go lassie go

And we'll all go together

To pluck wild mountain thyme

All around the blooming heather

Will ye go lassie go


2.I will build my love a tower

Near yon' pure crystal fountain

And on it I will place

All the flowers of the mountain

CHORUS

3.If my true love she were gone,

I would surely find another

Where the wild mountain thyme

Grows around the blooming heather

CHORUS

[Key Change and repeat VERSE ONE]

Only You

Vince Clarke. Arr. gitika partington

Looking from a window above

It's like a story of love

Can you hear me.

Came back only yesterday

We’re moving farther away

Want you near me.

All I needed was the love you gave

All I needed for another day

All I ever knew

Only you

Sometimes when I think of your name

And it's only a game

And I need you

Listen to the words that you say

It’s getting harder to stay

When I see you

All I needed was the love you gave

All I needed for another day

All I ever knew

Only you

Something Stupid

Arr.gitika

I know I stand in line, until you think you have the time

To spend an evening with me

And if we go someplace to dance, I know that there's a chance

You won't be leaving with me

And afterwards we drop into a quiet little place

And have a drink or two

And then I go and spoil it all, by saying something stupid

Like: "I love you"

I can see it in your eyes, that you despise the same old lies

You heard the night before

And though it's just a line to you, for me it's true

It never felt so right before

I practise every day to find some clever lines to say

To make the meaning come true

But then I think I'll wait until the evening gets late

And I'm alone with you

The time is right your perfume fills my head, the stars get red

And oh the night's so blue

And then I go and spoil it all, by saying something stupid

Like: "I love you"

("I love you, I love you,...")

Help

Lennon /McCartney arr gitika

Help, I need somebody,

Help, not just anybody,

Help, you know I need someone, help.

1.When I was younger, so much younger than today,

I never needed anybody's help in any way.

And now these days are gone, I'm not so self assured,

Now I find I've changed my mind and opened up the door.

MIDDLE

Help me if you can, I'm feeling down

And I do appreciate you being round.

Help me, get my feet back on the ground,

Won't you please, please help me?

2.And now my life has changed in oh so many ways,

My independence seems to vanish in the haze.

But every now and then I feel so insecure,

I know that I just need you like I've never done before.
