Lyrics
Every morning I wait for the letter that doesn't come
Hear a knock on my door, think into my arms he'll run
I never thought that I would feel this way
But it's real enough, this feeling I have today
I just can't go on without your love
I just can't go on without your love
Though I try so hard to tear myself away
I can't go on without your love
Your love
Every night in my dreams I can hear the telephone
It's your voice on the line saying "darling, I'm coming home"
I awake and the silence starts to hurt my ears
And I realise the reason for my fears
I just can't go on without your love
I just can't go on without your love
Though I try so hard to tear myself away
I can't go on without your love
Your love
I just can't go on without your love
I just can't go on without your love
I just can't go on
I just can't go on
Oh, without your love
I just can't
I just can't go on
Without your love
Hear a knock on my door, think into my arms he'll run
I never thought that I would feel this way
But it's real enough, this feeling I have today
I just can't go on without your love
I just can't go on without your love
Though I try so hard to tear myself away
I can't go on without your love
Your love
Every night in my dreams I can hear the telephone
It's your voice on the line saying "darling, I'm coming home"
I awake and the silence starts to hurt my ears
And I realise the reason for my fears
I just can't go on without your love
I just can't go on without your love
Though I try so hard to tear myself away
I can't go on without your love
Your love
I just can't go on without your love
I just can't go on without your love
I just can't go on
I just can't go on
Oh, without your love
I just can't
I just can't go on
Without your love

Lyrics
Pearl's a singer
She stands up when she plays the piano
In a nightclub
Pearl's a singer
She sings songs for the lost and the lonely
Her job is entertaining folks
Singings songs and telling jokes
In a nightclub
Pearl's a singer
And they say that she once was a winner
In a contest
Pearl's a singer
And they say that she once cut a record
They played it for a week or so
On the local radio
It never made it
She wanted to be Betty Grable
But now she sits there at that beer stained table
Dreaming of the things she never got to do
All those dreams that never came true
Pearl's a singer
She stands up when she plays the piano
In a nightclub
Pearl's a singer
She sings songs for the lost and the lonely
Her job is entertaining folks
Singing songs and telling jokes
In a nightclub
Pearl's a singer
She stands up when she plays the piano
In a nightclub
Pearl's a singer
She sings songs for the lost and the lonely
Her job's entertaining folks
Singing songs, telling jokes
In a nightclub
She stands up when she plays the piano
In a nightclub
Pearl's a singer
She sings songs for the lost and the lonely
Her job is entertaining folks
Singings songs and telling jokes
In a nightclub
Pearl's a singer
And they say that she once was a winner
In a contest
Pearl's a singer
And they say that she once cut a record
They played it for a week or so
On the local radio
It never made it
She wanted to be Betty Grable
But now she sits there at that beer stained table
Dreaming of the things she never got to do
All those dreams that never came true
Pearl's a singer
She stands up when she plays the piano
In a nightclub
Pearl's a singer
She sings songs for the lost and the lonely
Her job is entertaining folks
Singing songs and telling jokes
In a nightclub
Pearl's a singer
She stands up when she plays the piano
In a nightclub
Pearl's a singer
She sings songs for the lost and the lonely
Her job's entertaining folks
Singing songs, telling jokes
In a nightclub

Lyrics
Southern trees bear strange fruit,
Blood on the leaves and blood at the root,
Black bodies swinging in the southern breeze,
Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees.
Pastoral scene of the gallant south,
The bulging eyes and the twisted mouth,
Scent of magnolias, sweet and fresh,
Then the sudden smell of burning flesh.
Here is fruit for the crows to pluck,
For the rain to gather, for the wind to suck,
For the sun to rot, for the trees to drop,
Here is a strange and bitter crop.
Blood on the leaves and blood at the root,
Black bodies swinging in the southern breeze,
Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees.
Pastoral scene of the gallant south,
The bulging eyes and the twisted mouth,
Scent of magnolias, sweet and fresh,
Then the sudden smell of burning flesh.
Here is fruit for the crows to pluck,
For the rain to gather, for the wind to suck,
For the sun to rot, for the trees to drop,
Here is a strange and bitter crop.
