  Look at him there,         Norman Stanley James St. Clair 

D                             C     F             Dm

  He wrote sonnets very well you know, 

Bb           C                         F

  People read them long ago. 

            Em   Dm                C                 F     E                                   

Totally bare,    with just a leafy little square

D                           C         F        Dm

  Did he write his sonnets in the nude? 

Bb               C                         F     D

  Questions like that can be rude.

A                                                                         D

Now he stands upon the steps of City Hall all alone

G                                                                          Cm

Thinkin’ ‘bout the prose he wrote in his world of stone

F              Em    Dm           C                          F      E

  Nobody cares what he’s done or what he wears

D                        C               F             Dm

  Only children sometimes stop and stare

Wespen op de appeltaart - Spinvis

Spinvis is a Dutch one-man project centred on Erik de Jong (born 2 February 1961, Spijkenisse). Using experimental, lo-fi music, Spinvis became an instant success in his home country, earning two gold records in the process and performing sold-out tours in both the Netherlands and Belgium.

In 2001, Erik de Jong, or Spinvis, at the age of 40, sent a three song demo to the Dutch indie label, Excelsior Recordings. Within two weeks, a record deal was signed.The label decided to keep the songs that had been recorded by Spinvis on his home computer. With some minor mixing touch-ups these songs comprised Spinvis' first album, released in the Netherlands on 1 April 2002. The music press responded with very positive reviews and the album reached the number one position in Oor magazine’s Moordlijst, an important alternative chart in the Netherlands.

Bewitched - Samuel Barnett 'The History Boys'

This is the version from the movie The History Boys as sung by Samuel Barnett.

"Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered" is a show tune and popular song from

the 1940 Rodgers and Hart musical Pal Joey. The song was introduced by Vivienne Segal in the 1940 Broadway production.

The original lyrics present an unabashed celebration of sexuality

that has been bowdlerised in most covers to remove the song's blatant sexual allusions. One such line is "When love came and told me I shouldn't

sleep," replacing the original "Until I could sleep where I shouldn't 

sleep"; another switch changed "And worship the trousers that cling to him" to "And long for the day I'll cling to him." 

Dm7    G7       CM7      Am7  

He's a fool and don't I know it

Dm7    G7       CM7      A7

But a fool can have his charms

Dm7    G7      Em7      Am9  

I'm in love and don't I show it

Dm7    G9       CM7  A7

Like a babe in arms

Dm7    G7       CM7      Am7  

Love's the same old sad sensation

Dm7    G7       CM7      A7

Lately I've not slept a wink

Dm7    G7      Em7      Am9  

since this half-pint imitation 

Dm7    G9       CM7  A7

put me on the blink

C          Gdim     Dm7         Cdim 

I'm wild again,       beguiled again, 

    C         E7        Fmaj7        Fdim 

A simpering, whimpering child again - 

     C      D7             G7      Dm7 G7 

Bewitched, bothered and bewildered am  I. 

C              Gdim       Dm7           Cdim 

Couldn't sleep,      and wouldn't sleep, 

       C            E7        Fmaj7            Fdim 

When love came and told me I shouldn't sleep - 

     C      D7       G7    Cmaj7   Fmaj7 A7 

Bewitched, bothered and bewildered am    I. 

Bridge: 

Dm 

Lost my heart, but what of it? 

Am 

He is cold, I agree; 

Dm                     G7 

He can laugh, but I love it, 

    Em        Edim      Dm7    G7 

Although the laugh's on me. 

     C            Gdim      Dm          Cdim 

I'll sing to him,     each spring to him, 

     C           E7              Fmaj7      Fdim 

And long for the day when I'll cling to him - 

    C        D7      Dm7    G7        C   C/B  A7  Gdim 

Bewitched, bothered and bewildered am I, 

(Interlude)

Fdim     C     D7             Dm7     G7 C   Fdim   C—

Be - witched, bothered and bewildered am I.

C              Gdim       Dm7           Cdim 

I've seen a lot, I'm mean a lot

C           E7              Fmaj7      Fdim 

But I'm like sweet seventeen a lot

     C      D7             G7      Dm7 G7

Bewitched, bothered and bewildered - am I

Bridge: 

Dm

Lost my heart, but what of it?

Am

My mistake I agree

Dm                     G7 

He can laugh, but I love it

    Em        Edim      Dm7    G7 ——

Because the laugh's on me.

C              Gdim       Dm7           Cdim 

I'll sing to him, each spring to him,

     C           E7              Fmaj7      Fdim 

And worship the trousers that cling to him.

Fdim     C     D7             Dm7     G7 C   Fdim   C
