Temptation Eyes Composer(s): Harvey Price - Dan Walsh First release by: The Grass Roots - 1970 Covered by multiple other artists
She's got something that moves my soul And she knows I'd love to love her But she lets me down every time, can't make her mind She's no one's lover Tonight with me she'll be so inviting I want her all for myself, aw
Temptation eyes, looking through my mind, my soul Temptation eyes, you've got to love me, got to love me tonight Got to love me baby yeah, mm
Oh wild-eyed innocence is just a game But just the same my head is spinning She's got a way to keep me on her side, it's just a ride It's never ending Tonight with me she'll be so exciting I want her all for myself, oh
Temptation eyes, looking through my mind, my soul Temptation eyes, you've got to love me, got to love me tonight Can you feel it now
Tonight with me she'll be so exciting, I want her all for myself, oh Temptation eyes, looking through my mind, my soul Temptation eyes, you've got to love me, got to love me tonight Temptation eyes, looking through my mind, my soul Temptation eyes, come on and love me, love me tonight
My Mammy Composer(s): Walter Donaldson; Sam M. Lewis; Joe Young Performer(s): Al Jolson and various other artists
Everything is lovely When you start to roam The birds are singin', the day that you stray But later, when you are further away Things won't seem so lovely When you're all alone Here's what you'll keep saying When you're far from home
Mammy Mammy The sun shines east, the sun shines west I know where the sun shines best Mammy My little mammy My heartstrings are tangled around Alabammy I'm comin' Sorry that I made you wait I'm comin' Hope and trust that I'm not late, oh oh oh Mammy My little Mammy I'd walk a million miles For one of your smiles My Mammy! Oh oh oh...
Mammy... My little Mammy The sun shines east, the sun shines west I know where the sun shines best! It's on my Mammy I'm talkin' about, nobody else's!
My little Mammy My heartstrings are tangled around Alabammy
Mammy, Mammy, I'm comin' I'm so sorry that I made you wait! Mammy, Mammy, I'm comin'! Oh God, I hope I'm not late! Look at me, Mammy! Don't you know me? I'm your little baby!
I'd walk a million miles For one of your smiles My Mammy!
Gracias A La Vida Composer(s): Violetta Parra Performer(s): Raphael; and various other artists
Gracias a la Vida que me ha dado tanto me dio dos luceros que cuando los abro perfecto distingo lo negro del blanco y en el alto cielo su fondo estrellado y en las multitudes el hombre que yo amo
Gracias a la Vida que me ha dado tanto me ha dado el sonido y el abedecedario con él las palabras que pienso y declaro madre amigo hermano y luz alumbrando la ruta del alma del que estoy amando
Gracias a la Vida que me ha dado tanto me ha dado la marcha de mis pies cansados con ellos anduve ciudades y charcos playas y desiertos montañas y llanos y la casa tuya, tu calle y tu patio
Gracias a la Vida que me ha dado tanto me dio el corazón que agita su marco cuando miro el fruto del cerebro humano cuando miro al bueno tan lejos del malo cuando miro al fondo de tus ojos claros
Gracias a la Vida que me ha dado tanto me ha dado la risa y me ha dado el llanto así yo distingo dicha de quebranto los dos materiales que forman mi canto y el canto de ustedes que es el mismo canto y el canto de todos que es mi propio canto
Gracias a la Vida Gracias a la Vida Gracias a la Vida Gracias a la Vida
Temporarily Composer(s): Johnny Mercer - Gene De Paul Performer(s): June Allyson & Jack Lemon
This is your shack Temporarily Your cul-de-sac Temporarily So hit the sack Temporarily While I unpack Temporarily You can't be too darn particular I'm your vehicular extracurricular spouse And even though, you don't wanna play looks Like we're gonna play house That's realistic and sensible But I am so indefensible Faced with so much masculinity I fear for my femininity So let's just skip the pyjama bit Papa and Mama bit Hoping that neither snores While I am involuntarily, necessarily Temporarily yours
My Lover's Prayer Composer(s): Otis Redding Originally performed by: Otis Redding Covered by various other artists
This is my lover's prayer I hope it'll reach out to you, my love This is my lover's prayer And I hope you can understand it, my love
My life is such a weary thing But it might be old pressure bringing rain (?) You keep wanting, waiting and wishing When I know deep down that I'm not to blame
What you gonna do tonight When you need some loving arms to hold you tight What you gonna do tonight When you need my heavy voice to tell you good night
Honey but you can't let that be no problem You ve got to come home and help me solve it (Yeah) I won't be missing you And honey, my lover's prayer would be all over
What can the matter be [now]? It can't be to serious we can't talk it over Living in this misery, darling You can't make my life all over
Honey but don't you let that be no problem Just come on home and help me solve it (Dear) I won't be missing you And my lover's prayer would be all over It got to be all over Honey all over Don't keep my life going round so many circles
I won't be missing you I won't be missing you And my lover's prayer won't be all over
This is my lover's prayer Come on y'all This is my lover's prayer And I hope it reaches out to you This is my lover's prayer I hope it gets to you
Oh my lovely rose of Clare You're the sweetest girl I know You're the Queen of all the roses Like the pretty flowers that grow You are the sunshine of my life So beautiful and fair And I will always love you My lovely Rose of Clare
Oh the sun it shines out like a jewel On the lovely hills of Clare As I strolled along with my sweet lass One evening at the fair Her eyes they shone like silver streams Her long and golden hair For I have won the heart of one My lovely Rose of Clare
As we walked down by the river bank Watched the Shannon flowing by And listened to the nightingale Singing songs for you and I And to say farewell To all you true and fair For I have stolen the heart of one My lovely Rose of Clare

Cómo puedo pagar que me quieran a mí por todas mis canciones ya me puse a pensar y no alcanzo a cubrir tan lindas intenciones
He ganado dinero para comprar un mundo más bonito que el nuestro pero todo lo aviento porque quiero morirme como muere mi pueblo
Yo no quiero saber que se siente tener millones y millones si tuviera con qué compraría para mí otros dos corazones para hacerlos vibrar y llenar otra vez sus almas de ilusiones y poderles pagar que me quieran a mí y a todas mis canciones
"Deveras, muchas gracias por haberme aguantado tanto tiempo desde 1947 hasta 1972 y yo siento que todavía me quieren ¿saben porqué? porque yo he ganado más aplausos que dinero el dinero pues no sé ni por donde lo tiré pero los aplausos esos los traigo aquí adentro y ya no me los quita nadie esos se van conmigo hasta la muerte"
Para poderles pagar que me quieran a mí y a todas mis canciones
Tempête Dans Un Bénitier Composer(s): Georges Brassens Performer(s): Georges Brassens; Les Petits Français
Tempête dans un bénitier Le souverain pontife avecque Les évêques, les archevêques Nous font un satané chantier
Ils ne savent pas ce qu'ils perdent Tous ces fichus calotins Sans le latin, sans le latin La messe nous emmerde À la fête liturgique Plus de grand's pompes, soudain Sans le latin, sans le latin Plus de mystère magique Le rite qui nous envoûte S'avère alors anodin Sans le latin, sans le latin Et les fidèl's s'en foutent O très Sainte Marie mèr' de Dieu, dites à ces putains De moines qu'ils nous emmerdent Sans le latin
Je ne suis pas le seul, morbleu Depuis que ces règles sévissent À ne plus me rendre à l'office Dominical que quand il pleut
Il ne savent pas ce qu'ils perdent Tous ces fichus calotins Sans le latin, sans le latin La messe nous emmerde En renonçant à l'occulte Faudra qu'ils fassent tintin Sans le latin, sans le latin Pour le denier du culte À la saison printanière Suisse, bedeau, sacristain Sans le latin, sans le latin F'ront l'églis' buissonnière O très Sainte Marie mèr' de Dieu, dites à ces putains De moines qu'ils nous emmerdent Sans le latin
Ces oiseaux sont des enragés Ces corbeaux qui scient, rognent, tranchent La saine et bonne vieille branche De la croix où ils sont perchés
Ils ne savent pas ce qu'ils perdent Tous ces fichus calotins Sans le latin, sans le latin La messe nous emmerde Le vin du sacré calice Se change en eau de boudin Sans le latin, sans le latin Et ses vertus faiblissent À Lourdes, Sète ou bien Parme Comme à Quimper Corentin Le presbytère sans le latin A perdu de son charme O très Sainte Marie mèr' de Dieu, dites à ces putains De moines qu'ils nous emmerdent Sans le latin
My Lovely Revenge Composer(s): Agnew; Jane Wiedlin Performer(s): Jane Wiedlin
Shiny hair and a perfect body A great life where everyone adores me Killer boyfriend, big fancy car And a mansion made for a movie star You'll regret it that you blew it And I'll make sure that you knew it And till I get more than enough Be scheming still be dreaming of My Lovely Revenge My Lovely Revenge Accumulating more and more stuff Without neglecting inside and up above Advancing the spiritual Not forgetting my intellectual Till I become the perfect combination The paragon of a generation You'll be sorry of course you will When you see me completely fulfilled My Lovely Revenge My Lovely Revenge Everything you want/Everything you need/Everything you hope for I'll be Everything I want/everything I need/Everything I get will be... My Lovely Revenge My Lovely Revenge

Gracias por haberte conocido, por haberme sonreído Por mirarme, por hablarme Gracias, por haberte amado tanto, por tu risa y por tu llanto Y por todas tus palabras de amor

Tengo que darte las gracias por estar cerca de mí Y por las miles de cosas que yo siento junto a ti Gracias, por haberte conocido, porque nunca me has mentido Por quererme, por besarme, por hacerme tan feliz
Graceland Composer(s): Paul Simon Performer(s): Paul Simon; Big Daddy; Erin Bode; Willie Nelson
The Mississippi Delta was shining Like a National guitar I am following the river Down the highway Through the cradle of the civil war
Im going to Graceland Graceland In Memphis Tennessee Im going to Graceland Poorboys and Pilgrims with families And we are going to Graceland My traveling companion is nine years old He is the child of my first marriage But Ive reason to believe We both will be received In Graceland
She comes back to tell me shes gone As if I didnt know that As if I didnt know my own bed As if Id never notice The way she brushed her hair from Her forehead And she said losing love Is like a window in your heart Everybody sees youre blown apart Everybody sees the wind blow
Im going to Graceland Memphis Tennessee Im going to Graceland Poorboys and Pilgrims with families And we are going to Graceland And my traveling companions Are ghosts and empty sockets Im looking at ghosts and empties But Ive reason to believe We all will be received In Graceland
There is a girl in New York City Who calls herself the human trampoline And sometimes when Im falling, flying Or tumbling in turmoil I say Oh, so this is what she means She means were bouncing into Graceland And I see losing love Is like a window in your heart Everybody sees youre blown apart Everybody sees the wind blow
In Graceland, In Graceland Im going to Graceland For reasons I cannot explain Theres some part of me wants to see Graceland And I may be obliged to defend Every love, every ending Or maybe theres no obligations now Maybe Ive a reason to believe We all will be received In Graceland
Temma Harbour Composer(s): Philamore Lincoln Performer(s): Mary Hopkin
In a giant lemon tree, alone my friend and me We both climb down and cross the sand until we reach the sea And the waves come higher, higher as we sway and dance And the way I feel makes me want to take a chance
Sing a song of Temma Harbour, climb a coconut tree Catch a fish and light a fire, drink some wine with me And if you say you like me and I like you We can live and dream together in the world that's new
In the treehouse here we lay above the blue sea spray The tide rolls in and on the wind guitars begin to play And the waves come higher, higher as we sway and dance And the way I feel makes me want to take a chance
Sing a song of Temma Harbour, climb a coconut tree Catch a fish and light a fire, drink some wine with me And if you say you like me and I like you We can live and dream together in the world that's new
My Love Will Not Let You Down Composer(s): Bruce Springsteen Performer(s): Bruce Springsteen
At night I go to bed But I just can't sleep I got something runnin' around my head Ooh that just won't keep
In the silence I hear my heart beatin' Time slippin' away I got a time bomb tickin' deep inside of me Girl all I want to say
I keep searchin' for you darlin' Searchin everywhere I go And when I find you there's gonna be just one thing that you gotta know
One thing you gotta know
My love, love, love, love, love, love, will not let you down My love, love, love, love, love, love, will not let you down
At night I walk the streets lookin' for romance But I always end up stumblin' in a half trance I search for a connection in some new eyes That hardly protect you from too many dreams passed by
I see you standin', across the room watchin' me without a sound I'm gonna push my way through that crowd I'm gonna tear your holy walls down Tear all your walls down
My love, love, love, love, love, love, will not let you down My love, love, love, love, love, love, will not let you down My love, love, love, love, love, love, will not let you down My love, love, love, love, love, love, will not let you down
Well hold still now darlin' Hold still for God's sake 'Cause I got me a promise I ain't afraid to make (I ain't afraid to make)
My love, love, love, love, love, love, will not let you down My love, love, love, love, love, love, will not let you down My love, love, love, love, love, love, will not let you down My love, love, love, love, love, love, will not let you down My love, love, love, love, love, love, will not let you down My love, love, love, love, love, love, will not let you down My love, love, love, love, love, love, will not let you down My love, love, love, love, love, love, will not let you down
