    Default Northern Soul tunes

    Could someone help me with the transcription of the early Northern Soul songs, 'Toast to the lady' by Eddie Wilson, 'Under your spell' by The Paramounts, 'Any other way' by Mona Lisa & The Pastels, 'My heart' by Rosa Lee and 'Your picture on the wall' by Orthea Barnes' ? The videos of these songs are on Youtube.
    I will very much appreciate it.

    Toast to the Lady - Eddie Wilson
    -----------------------------------------
    I'm sitting in the corner of a dim lit cafe
    where my lover and I meet everyday
    I'm wonderin' just
    what's goin' through her mind
    knowing we're meetin'
    for the very last time

    A toast to the lady,
    who just walked in that door
    A toast to the lady,
    I won't be seein' any more
    A toast to the lady,
    who's love I know is real
    And a toast to every man
    that knows how I feel - oh yeah

    I know I'll miss her after we part
    But her love will remain
    here in my heart
    She says she's goin' back
    to that love she knows is true
    but after she's gone
    tell me, what will I do?

    A toast to the lady,
    who just walked out that door
    A toast to the lady,
    I won't be seein' any more
    A toast to the lady,
    who's love I know is real
    And a toast to every man
    that knows how I feel - oh yeah
    See me cryin' now -
    I won't be hurt any more -
    she left me all alone

    Under your Spell - The Paramounts
    ------------------------------------------
    Under your spell (backing repeated)
    You've got me baby,
    and I'm under your spell
    I'm in your corner,
    All the way
    I'm a fool for you, girl - (Fool for you girl)
    I just can't help it
    You got you're voodoo on me

    Sometimes you treat me good, (oh-yeah)
    sometimes you treat me bad (so bad)
    People talk, what a fool I am
    and I can't go on this way
    Help me somebody,
    with this love of mine (with this love of mine)
    I, oh I'm goin' out of my mind
    Oh goin' out of my mind

    Sometimes I'm happy -
    Then again I'm sad (then again I'm sad)
    I feel like cryin'
    but I've got no more tears
    So you got me baby
    and I'm under your spell (under your spell)
    I'm in your corner - yes I am -
    all they way
    Whoa - I'm under your spell
    I'm under your spell (x3)
    You got you're voodoo on me.....

    Any Other Way Mona Lisa & and the Pastels
    --------------------------------------------------------
    Oh I'm free
    Here you come again,
    and you call yourself my friend
    I know why you're here
    That boy of mine must know how I feel
    You can tell him, that I'm happy
    Go on and tell him that I'm free
    But say, I just wouldn't have it
    no. no, no, no, no - any other way
    That's right

    People are talkin'
    since we've been apart
    Everybody sayin' that she goes
    with a broken heart
    But you can go back and tell him
    That I'm happy
    Go on and tell him that I'm free
    And say, I just wouldn't have it
    no. no, no, no,no- any other way
    'Cause I'm free.

    All I'm gonna say my friend,
    now I think you better say, bye bye,
    I think you better go right now
    or you might see a big girl cry
    Go back and tell him, that I'm happy
    Go back and tell him, that I'm free
    And say, I just wouldn't have it
    no. no, no, no,no- any other way
    'Cause she's free
    Yes I'm free....
    Everyday I'm free....
    Free at last...

    My Heart - Rosa Lee
    ----------------------------------------------
    You pick me up,
    then you put me down
    You say you're true -
    and then you run around
    And oh - tell me boy (tell me boy)
    ' bout what you're tryin' to do
    to my heart -
    oh my heart - oh my heart

    You make me laugh -
    and then you make me cry
    First you say you'll stay -
    and then you say goodbye
    And oh - tell me boy (tell me boy)
    ' bout what you're tryin' to do
    to my heart -
    oh, my heart - oh, my heart
    whoa whoa .......

    You can be sweet as angel
    But you----?
    and you treat me so unkind
    That I'm about to loose my mind.
    If you're so bad,
    how come you treat me so nice
    First you act so wild
    and then you close an eye
    And oh- tell me boy (tell me boy)
    ' bout what you're tryin' to do
    to my heart -
    to oh my heart - to oh my heart

    Your Picture on the Wall - Orthea Barnes
    --------------------------------------------------
    Looking at your picture on the wall
    So large and yet so small,
    Because the real you isn't there (isn't there)
    But it's better to have something
    Than nothing at all
    Looking at your picture
    Oh how it makes me feel
    I love you and that I need you
    But without the real you around
    to see me through
    There's nothing I can do
    Every time I pass by
    where your picture lays
    Do i have to cry, do I have to cry
    It's just your picture I see -
    not the real you
    who once cared for me
    Looking at this picture
    Oh, how it hurts me so
    The only thing that's left for me to do
    Is to let it go
    Since you have hurt my pride (my pride)
    It's better to have nothing (nothing)
    Than to have something (something)
    That gonna hurt inside
    Looking at your picture
    Looking at your picture
    Looking at your picture everyday
    Looking at your picture every night
    Keep on lookin' keep on lookin'

    I'm very grateful to you for being too kind and write down the lyrics of these songs for me.
    I said it to you once and I say it again, you're great!!!
