Middle Of The Road Composer(s): Chrissie Hynde Performer(s): Pretenders and various other artists
In the middle of the road Is trying to find me I'm standing in the middle of life with my pains behind me
But, I got a smile For everyone I meet Long as you don't try dragging my bay Or dropping a bomb on the street
Come on baby Get in the road Come on now In the middle of the road, yeah
In the middle of the road You see the darnest things Like fat cats driving around in jeeps through the city Wearing big diamond rings and silk suits Past corrugated tin shacks holed up with kids and Man I don't mean a Hampstead nursery But when you own a big chunk of the bloody third world The babies just come with the scenery
Come on baby Get in the road Come on now In the middle of the road, yeah
One Two Three Four Five Six
In the middle of the road Is my private cul de sac I can't get from the cab to the curb Without some little jerk on my back Don't harass me kid Can't you tell I'm going home, I'm tired as hell I'm not the cat I used to be I've got a kid, I'm thirty-three baby Get in the road Come on now In the middle of the road
Nem assaz alhures e antanho Era um evento tamanho A sagração nupcial Vinha a noiva de gargantilha Caçoleta e rendilha Diadema e torçal
Mas se houvesse algum embaraço Dera a moça um mal passo Quanto horror e desdém Ela ia parar no convento Ia dormir ao relento Ou deitar nos trilhos do trem
Do pudor da noiva a bandeira Após a noite primeira Desfraldava-se ao sol A sua virtude escarlate Igual brasão de tomate Enobrecendo o lençol
Mas se não houvesse tal mancha É que outra mancha mais ancha Se ocultava por trás E o rapaz pagava o malogro Com a vendeta do sogro Ou com a malícia dos mortais
``Oh meu pai, oh meu pai, por favor Condenai o nosso amor De langor e luxúria! Mas poupai, oh meu pai Nosso filho Da fúria do Senhor!''
O guri nasceu apressado Nem um mês de casado Tinha quem o gerou Quando o pai caiu nos infernos Foi nos braços maternos Que ele se pendurou
Quando a mãe caiu na sarjeta Foi seguindo a opereta Na garupa do avô Quando o avô caiu do cavalo Foi chorar no intervalo E mais um ato começou
Palhaço, corista Trapézio, dançarina Maestro, cortina É fé na flauta e pé na pista
Middle Age Crazy Composer(s): Sonny Throckmorton Performer(s): Tom Jones and various other artists
Today he traded his '98 Oldsmobile He got a heck of a deal on a new Porsche car He isn't wearing his usual gray business suits He's got jeans and high boots with an embroidered star
'Cause today he's 40 years old, going on 20 But don't look for the gray in his hair 'Cause he ain't got any He's got a young thing beside him That just melts in his hands And he's middle aged crazy Trying to prove he still can
He's got a woman he's loved for a long, long time at home But the thrill is all gone, when they turn down the lights And today he's 40 years old, going on 20 And don't look for the gray in his hair 'Cause he ain't got any
And that young thing beside him, you know she understands He's just middle aged crazy Trying to prove he still can Yes, he's middle aged crazy Trying to prove he still can
Operator (That's Not The Way It Feels) Composer(s): Jim Croce Performer(s): Jim Croce; Rodney Crowell; Toby Lightman
Operator oh could you help me place this call You see the number on the matchbook is old and faded She's living in L.A. With my best old ex-friend Ray A guy she said she knew well and sometimes hated
Chorus:
Isn't that the way they say it goes But let's forget all that Give me the number if you can find it So I can call just to tell them I'm fine and to show I've overcome the blow I've learned to take it well I only wish my words could just convince myself That it just wasn't real But that's not the way it feels
Operator oh could you help me place this call Cause I can't read the number that you just gave me There's something in my eye's You know it happens every time I think about the love that I thought would save me
(Repeat Chorus)
Operator let's forget about this call There's no one there I really wanted to talk you Thank you for your time Oh you've been so much more than kind And you can keep the dime

Operator Composer(s): Ron McKernan Performer(s): Grateful Dead
Operator, can you help me Help me if you please Give me the right area code And the number that I need My rider left upon the midnight flyer Singing like a summer breeze
I think she's somewhere down south Down about Baton Rouge But I just can't remember no number A number I can use Directory don't have it, Central done forgot it Got to find a number to use
Trying to check out her number Trying to run down her line Operator said that's privileged information And it ain't no business of mine It's flooding down in Texas, the poles are down in Utah Got to find a private line
She could be hanging round a steel mill Working in a house of blue light Riding a getaway bus out of Portland Talking to the night I don't know where she's going, I don't care where she's been Long as she's been doing it right Long as she's been doing it right

J'ai un Mickey Maousse Un gourdin dans sa housse Et quand tu le secousses Il mousse J'ai un Mickey Maousse Une paire de pamplemousses En avant toutes et tous Je pousse

Mickey Composer(s): Neil Moret; Harry Williams Performer(s): Jackie Gleason
Oh! what a shame they gave you the name of Mickey Where is the rose that grows in repose like you Lucky the birds and the bees you'd meet
Lucky the moss and the violet sweet When they were trod by your bare little feet There in the morning dew
How can you blame me when I pine Dearie, to change your name to mine
Mickey, pretty Mickey, with your hair of raven hue In your smiling so beguiling There's a bit of Killarney, bit of the Blarney, too Childhood in the wildwood Like a mountain flow'r you grew
Pretty Mickey, pretty Mickey Can you blame anyone for falling in love with you
You had a friend that used to defend and love you He was a dog, a mutt of a dog, it's true He used to follow you ev'rywhere Look in your eyes with a lovable stare
He was a lucky old dog to be there And he believed it too This is a promise true from me "I'll be as faithful to you, as he"
Mickey, pretty Mickey, with your hair of raven hue In your smiling so beguiling There's a bit of Killarney, bit of the Blarney, too Childhood in the wildwood Like a mountain flow'r you grew
Pretty Mickey, pretty Mickey Can you blame anyone for falling in love with you
Open Up Your Heart And Let The Sunshine In Composer(s): Stuart Hamblen Performer(s): Rosemary Clooney; and various other artists
Mommy told me something a little girl should know It's all about the Devil and I've learned to hate him so She says he causes trouble when you let him in the room He will never ever leave you if your heart is filled with gloom
So, let the sun shine in, face it with a grin Smilers never lose and frowners never win So, let the sun shine in, face it with a grin Open up your heart and let the sun shine in
When you are unhappy, the Devil wears a grin But oh, he starts a-running when the light comes pouring in I know he'll be unhappy 'cause I'll never wear a frown Maybe if we keep on smiling he'll get tired of hangin' around
So, let the sun shine in, face it with a grin Smilers never lose and frowners never win So, let the sun shine in, face it with a grin Open up your heart and let the sun shine in
If I forget to say my prayers the Devil jumps with glee But he feels so awful, awful, when he sees me on my knees So if you're full of trouble and you never seem to win Just open up your heart and let the sun shine in
So, let the sun shine in, face it with a grin Smilers never lose and frowners never win So, let the sun shine in, face it with a grin Open up your heart and let the sun shine in

Now Is The Time
Composer(s): Grace Slick
Performer(s): Jefferson Airplane
Desire--The feeling so clear It sings in everything you hear Desire--The feeling you never lose It's always something new And it's waiting for you to follow through
We all have a song, life is the dance And right or wrong we will all take the chance
Now is the time, the time is right We've got no reason to wait let's do it tonight This is the night, tonight is the time Bring the dream to life and let it shine
Desire--Follows and leads the way Like night follows day Desire--It's right before your eyes No quesitons no surprise It's been waiting so long for you to decide
We all have a song, life is the dance And right or wrong we will all take the chance
Now is the time, time is right We've got no reason to wait let's do it tonight This is the night, tonight is the time Bring the dream to life and let it shine
All the fantasies we keep inside We'd love to live it but we don't know how Too late for yesterday, too early for tomorrow That means it's gotta be now
We all have a song, life is the dance And right or wrong we will all take the chance
Now is the time, time is right We've got no reason to wait let's do it tonight This is the night, tonight is the time Bring the dream to life and let it shine
This is the song, now is the time Alone the love is gone, together it's yours and mine This is the night, this is the song Feel the love again it's where we belong

Open My Eyes Composer(s): Todd Rundgren Performer(s): The Nazz; and various other artists
Underneath your gaze I was found in The haze I'm wandering around in I am lost in the dark of my own room And I can't see a thing but the fire in your eyes Clear my eyes, make me wise Or is all I believe in lies I really don't know when or where to go And I can't see a thing 'til you open my eyes I've been told by some you'll forget me The thought doesn't upset me I am blind to whatever they're saying And all I can see is the fire in your eyes Can't believe that it's on your mind To leave me behind
