"I'm on my way

To the city lights

To the pretty face

That shines her light on the city nights

And I gotta catch a noon train

I gotta get there on time

Well, it feels so good to know she waits at the end of the line"

Sweet City Woman by the Stampeders

Another! Probably the most bummer song ever.

"No, I can't forget this evening

Oh, your face as you we're leaving

But I guess that's just the way the story goes

You always smile

But in your would you sun will show

Oh, yes, it shows

No, I can't forget tomorrow

When I think of all my sorrow

When I had you there but then I let you go

And now it's only fair that I should let you know

What you should know...

I can't live..."

Without You by Badfinger (it was written by Pete Ham and Tom Evans and has been recorded by over 180 artists)

Can't Live if living is without you? Have no Idea of artist. I'm gonna say like summer of 73-75

I though a One Hit Wonder artist had a hit with that tune. Pretty Lame for Badfinger

Badfinger's version is a bit different than Harry Nilsson's

Both of the writers of that song hung themselves, first Pete Ham, then 5 years later his friend Tommy Evans

And I'm lookin' in the mirror all the time

Wonderin' what she don't see in me

I've been funny; I've been cool with the lines

Still up..

Geez...... They hung themselves! Bummer

If I'm not mistaken Nilsson had a few decent songs in the era. I like the Bad Finger Version, never heard it until today! Maybe I did but don't remember a few things from those day!!! if you know what I mean :blink: Mike, Thanks for the vid and turning me on to the Bad Finger version!

If the world is so wrong

Then you can break the mold

With one song

If the world is so wrong

Then you can take it on

With one song

Nobody..? Oh,well - Here's a little bit more to help out.

And they royalty rate all the girls like you

And they sell it out to the girls like you

To incorporate little girls

I'm glad you liked it!

A very sad ending for what was a great band, the only surviving member is Joey Moller (the lead guitarist), who still plays shows as Badfinger

I think Nilsson's first big hit was Everybody's Talkin' which was the theme from the 1970 movie Midnight Cowboy

You're just a poor girl in a rich man's house

Yeah, baby, I'm crying over you

Don't you know promises were never made to keep?

Still up

Wanna be right here where you are

until my dying day

So many have tried, tried to find

a love like yours and mine

Girl, don't you realize

how you hypnotize?

Still up

#4 You stopped and smiled at me

I asked you if you cared to dance

You fell into my open arms

I didn't stand a chance

I Only Want To Be With You, By Dusty Springfield

5# You try to be smart then you take it to heart

Cause it hurts when your ego is deflated

Don't Sleep In The Subway, by Petula Clark
