B Movie (from the album *Get Happy*)


E               A             B            E
I found America hiding in the corner of my wallet
                                                   B
It's a well kept secret, thought that I had better swallow it
  F#m               D
Before they make me spit out the truth
  G                     C                B
Before they find you're lying about your youth
E               A           B  E
B movie, that's all you are to me
 
Just a soft soap story
                        B
Don't want the woman to adore me
          F#m                        B
You can't stand it when it goes from real to reel
    F#m             B
Too real too real
          F#m                   A                    C
You can't stand it when I throw punch lines you can   feel
        C#m             F#m                C#m
All the time, there's a rule book in Brittania
     F#m             C#m
That no one ever waives
           E     
And everybody's on the make
                          B
It's not your heart I want to break
E      
Turn out the lights
    A               B             E
I'm thinking that I want to go to sleep now
                                            B
Just give me a promise that I'm supposed to keep now
  F#m                  D
I don't want some fool asking me why
G                  C                 B
When I find you're finally making me cry

(Chorus)

         C
you can   feel. you can feel. you can feel. . . .

Micael Ros - SMILE
Piano : Jerome Vinson I know it's been written by Charlie Chaplin but i first heard that song by Michael Jackson back when i was 15 or smth and i remember thinking "how a human being which such guilelessness, sensitivity and humanity can be accused of all those hideous intentions towards children?!" I sometimes feel like i would love him even if he'd turn out to be Hitler's son !!! LOL We all know the truth anyway, it lies in the thrill you get listening to his voice... So BIG UP 4 MICHAEL !!! Ever best in my heart !!! "Smile" is a pop song, originally used in the soundtrack for the 1936 Charlie Chaplin movie Modern Times. Chaplin composed the music, the words were written by John Turner and Geoffrey Parsons. In the lyrics, the singer is telling the listener to cheer up and that there is always a bright tomorrow, just as long as they smile. The best known version, sung by Nat King Cole, charted in 1954. In Britain, rival cover versions were released by Lita Roza and Petula Clark. Clark later re-recorded it for her 1968 album The Other Man's Grass Is Always Greener, by which time she was a personal friend of Charlie Chaplin. The song was also a hit when released as a duet by Betty Everett and Jerry Butler in 1964. Three years previously, The Lettermen released it as the b-side of their single "When I Fall in Love." Eric Clapton played a version of "Smile" during his 1974 "comeback" tour. The song appears on the live CD of the Deluxe Edition of 461 Ocean Blvd and is also on the Timepieces Vol. II: Live in the Seventies release. The song can be heard in two different versions (one of which was a hit in Japan) by Elvis Costello on his album Cruel Smile. It's also covered by Lyle Lovett on his album of movie songs, Smile, and by Julia Migenes on her album of same name, which is also a collection of movie songs. "Smile" was covered by the Holly Cole Trio on their 1992 album Blame It On My Youth. Jim Carrey spontaneously performed the song while a guest on The Tonight Show With Jay Leno in 1994. In the 1994 film My Girl 2, Maggie Muldovan, playing the part of Vada's mother in an old home movie, sings "Smile" for the camera. The song was covered by Michael Jackson and included on his 1995 double album, HIStory - Past, Present and Future, Book I. Frances Ruffelle recorded the song as the soundtrack to a McCain's advert in 2004, and the song was subsequently released as a single and featured on Ruffelle's album Showgirl. Michael Bublé (2005).

The Beatles - You've Got to Hide Your Love Away
The Beatles - You've Got to Hide Your Love Away Copyright - 1965 EMI Records Ltd. "You've Got to Hide Your Love Away" is a song by The Beatles. It was written by John Lennon and credited to Lennon/McCartney, and first appeared on the album Help! in August 1965. The song also appeared on side three of the 1973 compilation 1962--1966. It was one of John Lennon's "Bob Dylan era" songs. Performance in the film In the film, at the opening of the song, the head of the cult, Clang (Leo McKern), appears from underneath a manhole cover in the middle of Ailsa Avenue, London, where parts of the film were shot. He stays there for the whole song, which the Beatles play in John Lennon's flat. They are watched by Ahme (Eleanor Bron), and at the end of the song, George passes out after Ahme produces a giant needle for Ringo, who is wearing the ring the cult is seeking. Influence of Bob Dylan At the time of the release of Help!, Lennon was infatuated with the American singer Bob Dylan. Dylan's 1964 song "I Don't Believe You [She Acts Like We Have Never Met]" opens in strikingly similar fashion: "I can't understand, she let go of my hand, and left me here facing the wall". Lennon seemingly mimics Dylan's gruff vocal style, and uses a Dylanesque all-acoustic accompaniment with very little percussion. The song "is just basically John doing Dylan", McCartney later said. Other song information The song, according to musician/singer Tom Robinson, is a reference to Brian Epstein, the group's manager, who was homosexual (homosexuality was a criminal offence in Britain at the time). When Lennon made a mistake during the recording (he sang "two foot small" instead of "two foot tall"), he is reported to have said: "Let's leave that in, actually. All those pseuds will really love it." Other studio tracks There is an alternative take included on Anthology II. Before the song proper begins, a montage of chatter associated with several other takes is presented. In this sequence, Lennon counts off the song, then stops to readjust his guitar pickup. Then, a glass shatters, followed by Lennon saying, "Paul's broken a glass, broken a glass, Paul's broken a glass, a glass, a glass he's broke today." Cover versions Artists who have covered this song include the following, listed alphabetically: The Beach Boys, on their Beach Boys' Party! album, with the lead vocal by Dennis Wilson Chris Cornell Elvis Costello Howie Day, with Dispatch Daniel Johnston, live shows The Kentucky Headhunters Oasis, as a B-side Perry Rose Tim Rose The Silkie, produced by The Beatles The Subways Travis U2 performed a snippet of the song at The Ahoy Stadium, Holland on the 15th of June, 1992 on their Zoo TV tour towards the end of the song, "Bad" Eddie Vedder, on the movie soundtrack of I Am Sam, as well as being popular during Pearl Jam concerts Recorded Abbey Road Studios 18 February 1965 Lyrics: Here I stand head in hand Turn my face to the wall If she's gone I can't go on Feeling two foot small Everywhere people stare each and every day I can see them laugh at me And I hear them say Hey you've got to hide your love away Hey you've got to hide your love away How can I even try? I can never win Hearing them, seeing them In the state I'm in How could she say to me "Love will find a way?" Gather round all you clowns Let me hear you say Hey you've got to hide your love away Hey you've got to hide your love away
