Paul Carrack "Don't shed a tear"






Love this song. What I call yuppy AOR/pop. Music for then yuppies in their 20's and 30's who loved Dire Straits and Level 42 etc... LOL. Yep I think of such things. His album this song came off has some nice cuts aswell. Surprising considering how crappy Mike and the Mechanics would become around this time. (Paul was lead singer).

I actually just downloaded this on Monday. Great song.

He'll forever be remembered for his role in Squeeze though.

"Tempted" probably outshines anything else you've heard from him.

Cab fare to nowhere is what you are
A white line through an exit sign is what you are
All that I saw in you, now I see through*

Don`t shed a tear for me
My life won`t end without you
Long as the night will be
The sun will rise without you

A locked door on a candy store is what you are
A slim chance in tight pants is what you are
All that I loved you for, I wanted more**

Don`t shed a tear for me
My life won`t end without you
Long as the night will be
The sun will rise without you

You ain`t giving what I`m not taking
I`m not missing what we ain`t making

All that I saw in you, now I see through***

Don`t shed a tear for me
My life won`t end without you
Long as the night will be
The sun will rise without you

Don`t shed a tear for me
My life won`t end without you
Long as the night will be
The sun will rise without you

Don`t, don`t shed no tears
I don`t need, I don`t need, I don`t need
A thing...I don`t need no more crocodile tears
So strong I am now, I`ll be alright...
I`m a pawn for you girl, there won`t be a game...
Ah ha ha...ah ha ha...I feel it baby...
I don`t need any crocodile tears...
Long as the night, baby...
You’ve got to have a limelight
I won`t shed a tear darlin`
I won`t shed a tear baby, I won`t shed a tear all night
Don`t cry for me, don`t cry for me
Don`t cry for me, girl...


I like to put this song on my CD walkman and sing along. Great jam!!!
RIP, mom. I will forever miss and love you.

Thats a great song. This song has a retro feel aswell. It was off Paul's album "One good reason", which featured "dont shed a tear", but unfortunately all youtube has is this cover (good cover though):-
