Tempus Fugit
Composer(s): Geoffrey Downes - Trevor Horn - Steve Howe - Chris Squire - Alan White
Performer(s): Yes



Born in the night
She would run like a leopard
That freaks at the sight
Of a mind close beside herself
And the nearer I came
How the country would change
She was using the landscape
To hide herself

More in the mind
Than the body this feeling
A sense at the end
Of a circular line
That is drawn at an angle
I see when I'm with you
To navigate waters and finally answer to-yes

If you were there you would want to be near me
Innocence, you could hold the materials
And though nothing would really be living
It would shock Your fall into landing light
In the north sky time flies fast to the morning
The cold of the dawn it meant nothing to us
You were keeping your best situation
An answer to-yes

(Yes, Yes) And the moment I see you
(Yes, Yes) It's so good to be near you
(Yes, Yes) And the feeling you give me
(Yes, Yes) Makes me want to be with you
(Yes, Yes) From the moment you tell me - yes

If you could see all the roads I have traveled
Towards some unusable last equilibrium
Run like an athlete and die like a dead beaten speed-freak
An answer to all of your answers to-yes

In the north sky time flies faster than morning
The cold of the dawn it meant nothing to us
You were keeping your best situation
An answer to Yes

(Yes, Yes) And the moment I see you
(Yes, Yes) It's so good to be near you
(Yes, Yes) And the feeling you give me
(Yes, Yes) Makes me want to be with you
(Yes, Yes) If we wait for an answer
(Yes, Yes) Will the silence be broken
(Yes, Yes) Should we wait for an answer
(Yes, Yes) Do we leave it unspoken

(Yes Yes Yes Yes...)

My Man And Me
Composer(s): Lynsey de Paul
Performer(s): Lynsey de Paul



My man and me 
we're close as anyone could ever be 
for two 
ooh and when I see his face 
the worries of the day just disappear 
don't ask me why... 

My man and me 
we never seem to quarrel 'bout a thing 
it's true 
ooh for anything he says 
I know is good enough for me 
don't ask me why... 

But I won't let him down 
and I want it just that way forever and ever 
one and one together 
that's my man and me 
my man and me 

doo doo doo, doo doo 

My man and me 
we're close as anyone could ever be 
for two 
ooh and when I see his face 
the worries of the day just disappear 
don't ask me why... 

But I won't let him go 
and it's gonna be that way for ever and ever 
one and one together 
that's my man and me 
my man and me 

that's my man and me 
my man and me 
my man and me 

my man and me 
my man and me 
my man and me

Graduation Day

Performer(s): The Four Freshmen;
and various other artists



It's a time a for joy, a time for tears
A time we'll treasure through the years
We'll remember always
Graduation day

At the senior prom we danced 'til three
And there you gave your heart to me
We'll remember always
Graduation day

Though we leave in sorrow
All the joys we've known
We can face tomorrow
Knowing we'll never walk alone

When the ivy walls are far behind
No matter where our paths may wind
We'll remember always
Graduation day

Though we leave in sorrow
All the joys we've known
We can face tomorrow
Knowing we'll never walk alone

When the ivy walls are far behind
No matter where our paths may wind
We'll remember always, always
Graduation day

We'll remember always
Graduation day

Tempted
Composer(s): Chris Difford - Glenn Tilbrook
First release by: Squeeze - 1981 
Covered by multiple other artists



I bought a toothbrush, some toothpaste, a flannel for my face
Pajamas, a hairbrush, new shoes and a case
I said to my reflection, Let's get out of this place
Passed the church and the steeple, the laundry on the hill
Billboards and the buildings
Memories of it still keep calling
And calling
But forget it all I know I will
Tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted but the truth is discovered

What's been going on
Now that you have gone
There's no other
Tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted but the truth is discovered

I'm at the carpark, the airport, the baggage carousel
The people keep on grabbing, ain't wishing I was well
I said, "It's no occasion 
It's no story I can tell"
At my bedside, empty pocket, a foot without a sock
Your body gets much closer
I fumble for the clock, alarmed by
The seduction
I wish that it would stop
Tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted but the truth is discovered

What's been going on
Now that you have gone there's no other
Tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted but the truth is discovered

I bought a novell, some perfume, a fortune all for you
But it's not my conscience that hates to be untrue
I asked of my reflection
Tell me what is there to do?
Tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted but the truth is discovered

What's been going on
Now that you have gone there's no other
Tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted but the truth is discovered

My Man
((Adapted from: Mon Homme (Mistinguett) - 1916))
Composer(s): Albert Willemetz - Jacques Charles - Maurice Yvain - Channing Pollack
Performer(s): Fanny Brice - 1921
and multiple other artists



It's cost me a lot
But there's one thing that I've got
It's my man
Cold and wet, tired you bet
But all that I soon forget
With my man
He's not much for looks
And no hero out of books
Is my man
Two or three girls has he
That he likes as well as me
But I love him
I don't know why I should
He isn't good
He isn't true
He beats me, too
What can I do
Oh, my man, I love him so
He'll never know
All my life is just despair
But I don't care
When he takes me in his arms
The world is bright, all right
What's the difference if I say
I'll go away
When I know I'll come back
On my knees some day
For whatever my man is
I am his forever more
Sometimes I say
If I just could get away
With my man
He'd go straight, sure as fate
For it never is too late
For a man
I just like to dream
Of a cottage by a stream
With my man
Where a few flowers grew
And perhaps a kid or two
Who liked my man
And then my eyes get wet
I 'most forget
Till he gets hot
And tells me not
To talk such rot
Oh my man, I love him so
He'll never know
All my life is just despair
But I don't care
When he takes me in his arms
The world is bright, all right
What's the difference if I say
I'll go away
When I know I'll come back
On my knees some day
For whatever my man is
I'm his forever more

Gradated Grey
Composer(s): Peter Barakan; Haruomi Hosono
Performer(s): Yellow Magic Orchestra;
Haruomi Hosono



My car radio's playing a song
That makes me feel very strange
It's taken so long
Through the gradation of the grey scale
A landscape like I've never seen
As far as my eyes can see
Out on the road
I've seen so many shades, shades of grey
Now I'm back in the tunnel again
Every minute, every second
I can feel it getting closer
Speeding ahead
To where grey meets white

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

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

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

Tu has llegado hasta mi
A aliviar mi dolor con alegria
Si no estuvieras aqui
En un sueño de amor te inventaria

Yo nunca pude creer que
Existiera este amor
Que vinieras a mi

Gracias por tus caricias
Gracias porque eres mia
Gracias por estos dias
Gracias por este amor

Dios no ha podido crear
Un motivo mejor para mi vida
Yo te podria decir que
Estoy loco por ti mas cada dia

Tu eres mi amanecer
La mañana y el sol
Que yo siempre busque

Gracias por tus momentos
Gracias porque eres mia
Gracias por estos dias
Gracias por ser mi mundo

Tempo E Artista
Composer(s): Chico Buarque
Performer(s): Chico Buarque



Imagino o artista num anfiteatro
Onde o tempo é a grande estrela
Vejo o tempo obrar a sua arte
Tendo o mesmo artista como tela

Modelando o artista ao seu feitio
O tempo, com seu lápis impreciso
Põe-lhe rugas ao redor da boca
Como contrapesos de um sorriso

Já vestindo a pele do artista
O tempo arrebata-lhe a garganta
O velho cantor subindo ao palco
Apenas abre a voz, e o tempo canta

Dança o tempo sem cessar, montando
O dorso do exausto bailarino
Trêmulo, o ator recita um drama
Que ainda está por ser escrito

No anfiteatro, sob o céu de estrelas
Um concerto eu imagino
Onde, num relance, o tempo alcance a glória
E o artista, o infinito

My Lovely Rose Of Clare
Traditional (Ireland)



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

Gracias

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

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

Gracias, por haberte conocido, porque nunca me has mentido
Porque siempre me has querido amor

Eu nem sabia
Desse cinema mudo nos teus olhos
Dessa chuva caindo como um dia
Desse rio sem mar
Do riso agora

Eu nem pensava
Em ter a tempestade entre os dentes
E o luar nas mãos como se um peixe
Pudesse respirar longe do aquário

Eu nem sabia
Que os dias eram meus como um tesouro
E a paixão um risco no asfalto
Aonde os carros sofrem sem poesia

Eu nem pensava
Que o meu desejo era um trem de ferro
Que a música parecia silêncio
E a vida era uma flor desavisada
Florindo o chão rachado do sertão

Who makes the robin sing 
My love, my love 
Who brings the joy to spring 
Who else but you my love 
 
Who makes my poor heart cry 
My love, my love 
Whose eyes are stars on high 
None else but yours my love 
 
As sweet as morning mist 
Are the lips that heaven kissed 
As endless as the sea 
Is the love that you gave to me 
 
And what have I to give 
My love, my love 
As long as I shall live 
You'll always be my love 
 
As sweet as morning mist 
Are the lips that heaven kissed 
As endless as the sea 
Is the love that you gave to me 
 
And what have I to give 
My love, my love 
As long as I shall live 
You'll always be my love
