That's Love Composer(s): Gilbert O'Sullivan Performer(s): Gilbert O'Sullivan
Once in a while, out of the blue I might appear somewhat rude But don't be alarmed or get upset Just say to yourself this I'll forget And when I come home after being away It might do me good just to hear you say Darlin' don't move an inch, keep perfectly still Now do with me what you will Sometime ago before we met I vowed to myself that I'd never let No-one at all ever tie me down Never dreaming that I'd see you around Now isn't it strange wherever you go It's always the same with whoever you know Which just goes to prove what I've been trying to say Looking at you the way I do (that's love) Promising always to be true (that's love) Giving each other a helping hand (that's love) Sharing each other's every plan, that's love And in love you do And isn't it strange wherever you go It's always the same with whoever you know Which just goes to prove what I've been dying to say Holding you now the way I do (that's love) Knowing full well you want me to (that's love) Telling each other how we feel (that's love) Knowing inside it must be real, that's love And in love it's true
Cabin In The Sky Composer(s): Vernon Duke - John Latouche First performance by: Ethel Waters & Dooley Wilson - 1940 Covered by multiple other artists
In this cloudy sky overhead now There's no guiding star I can see And I would be lost by each wild tempest tossed Oh, if I didn't know of a place we two can go ...
There's a little cabin in the sky, Mister For me and for you I feel that it's true somehow
Can't you see that cabin in the sky, Mister An acre or two of heavenly blue to plow
We will be oh so gay Eat fried chicken every day As the angels go sailing by
And that is why my heart is flyin' high, Mister 'Cause I know we'll have a cabin in the sky
We will be oh so gay Eat fried chicken every day As the angels go sailing by
That is why my heart is flying high, baby 'Cause I know we'll have a cabin in the sky
Face To Face Composer(s): Danny Elfman - Siouxsie And The Banshees Performer(s): Siouxsie And The Banshees
Face to face my lovely foe Mouth to mouth raining heaven's blows Hand on heart tic tac toe Under the stars naked as we flow Cheek to cheek the bitter sweet Commit your crime in your deadly time
Commit your crime in your deadly time It's too divine I want to bend I want this bliss but something says I must resist
Another life another time We're Siamese twins writhing intertwined Face to face no telling lies The masks they slide to reveal a new disguise
You never can win it's the state I'm in This danger thrills and my conflict kills They say follow your heart follow it through But how can you when you're split in two?
And you'll never know You'll never know
One more kiss before we die Face to face and dream of flying Who are you? who am I? Wind in wings two angels falling To die like this with a last kiss It's falsehood's flame it's a crying shame Face to face the passions breathe I hate to stay but then I hate to leave
Cabin In The Sky
Composer(s): Johnny Burke - Edgar Leslie
Performer(s): Fats Waller
In the cabin high in the sky It was the cabin of a passenger plane And I was dreaming of a castle in Spain When I laid eyes on you
In the cabin high in the sky The day was cloudy, there was rain in the air And as you sat there in the opposite chair, oh baby Your sunny smile came through
There was an invitation in the note you gave me I couldn't very well refuse And from the moment that you started to enslave me I had everything to win, nothin' to lose
In the cabin high in the sky 'Twas like a dreamhouse in the heavenly glow I saw an angel and I let myself go I fell in love with you
Face The Fire Composer(s): Dan Fogelberg Performer(s): Dan Fogelberg
I hear the thunder Three miles away The island's leaking Into the bay The poison is spreading The demon is free And people are running from What they can't even see
Face the fire You can't turn away The risk grows greater With each passing day The waiting's over The moment has come To kill the fire And turn to the sun
They'll take your money And then take your health To line their pockets with Unequaled wealth These men are under The power of gold We won't be safe until we Shut them down cold
Face the fire You can't turn away The risk grows greater With each passing day The waiting's over The moment has come To kill the fire And turn to the sun
The people came to the capitol town One hundred thousand of them Laid their hearts down They screamed in anger And broadcast their fears Just to have them Fall on deaf ears
That's Life Composer(s): Kelly Gordon - Dean Kay First release by: Marian Montgomery - 1964 Covered by multiple other artists
That's life, that's what all the people say You're riding high in April Shot down in May But I know I'm gonna change that tune When I'm back on top, back on top in June
I said that's life, and as funny as it may seem Some people get their kicks Stompin' on a dream But I don't let it, let it get me down 'Cause this fine ol' world it keeps spinning around
I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate A poet, a pawn and a king I've been up and down and over and out And I know one thing Each time I find myself, flat on my face I pick myself up and get back in the race
That's life I tell ya, I can't deny it I thought of quitting baby But my heart just ain't gonna buy it And if I didn't think it was worth one single try I'd jump right on a big bird and then I'd fly
I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate A poet, a pawn and a king I've been up and down and over and out And I know one thing Each time I find myself laying flat on my face I just pick myself up and get back in the race
That's life That's life and I can't deny it Many times I thought of cutting out But my heart won't buy it But if there's nothing shakin' come this here July I'm gonna roll myself up in a big ball and die My, My
Yo soy un hombre pobre Soy muy poco para ti Pero te quiero tanto, tanto y tanto Mi amor es tan sincero Y tú soñando como sueñas Con lujos y riquezas Ni te fijas en mí Cabaretera No olvides que te quiero Te quiero en mi pobreza Y nunca he de cambiar Cabaretera Mi dulce arrabalera Te quiero con el alma Y nunca he de cambiar A Dios tan sólo pido Que tus sueños y caprichos Con lágrimas no tengas que pagar El cielo será cielo La tierra será tierra La vida será siempre igual Cabaretera No olvides que yo te quiero Te quiero en mi pobreza Y nunca he de cambiar Cabaretera Mi novia arrabalera Te quiero con el alma Y nunca he de cambiar
Face The Face Composer(s): Pete Townsend Performer(s): The Who; Champ!
We've got to face the face
You must have heard the cautionary tales The dangers hidden on the cul-de-sac trails >From wiser men who have been through it all And the ghosts of failures spray-canned up on the wall
We've got to judge the judge Got to find the finds We've got to scheme the schemes Have to line the lines We must stake the stakes And show the shown We must take the takes And know the known Try to place the place Where we can face the face
Face the face-got to Face the face
You must have tried and the defied belief Maybe found futility in insular grief I need your hunger just as you need mine A million appetites can swallow up time
We've got to fool the fools And plan the plans We must rule the rules Got to stand the stands We must fight the fight And fall the falls We must light the light And call the calls We must race the race So we can face the face
New York! Chicago! London and Glasgow! Keep looking!
Keep on cooking Keep on looking Gotta stay on this case Study the pix Watch the fix We've got to find the face
That's How Young I Feel Composer(s): Jerry Herman Performer(s): Bobby Hackett; Jonah Jones; Angela Lansbury
Mame and All: I have the feeling that time has halted I'd like two straws and a choc'late malted 'Cause that's how young I feel I feel like peckin' and bunny huggin' And Lindy hoppin' and jitterbuggin' 'Cause that's how young I feel I'm mad for that big band beat Wanna ride in a rumble seat (Sheldon's got the Chevvy) Love a faceful of frozen custard To have a hot dog with sand and mustard And ride the Ferris wheel Oh, honey 'Cause that's how young I feel I'm ready to ask my mom Can I go to the Junior Prom (Sheldon's got the Chevvy) Want a coonskin to knock about with To start each mornin' by givin' out With a Rudy Vallee squeal Oh, honey 'Cause that's how young I feel
I find I'm faced with that old sensation Will life go on after graduation 'Cause that's how young I feel I'd love to cheer at a football rally And swap sorority pins with Sally 'Cause that's how young I feel Love a faceful of frozen custard To have a hot dog with sand and mustard And ride the Ferris wheel Oh, honey 'Cause that's how young I feel Young I feel Young I feel Young I feel That's how young How you, yeah, I feel!
Cabaret
Composer(s): Fred Ebb - John Kander
First performance by: Jill Haworth - 1966
Covered by multiple other artists
What good is sitting alone in your room? Come hear the music play Life is a cabaret, old chum come to the cabaret Put down the knitting, the book, and the broom Time for a holiday Life is a cabaret, old chum come to the cabaret Come taste the wine come hear the band come blow your horn start celebrating right this way your table's waiting No use permitting some prophet of doom to wipe every smile away Life is a cabaret, old chum so come to the cabaret! I used to have this girlfriend known as Elsie with whom I shared four sorbid rooms in Chelsea She wasn't what you'd call a blushing flower As a matter of fact she rented by the hour The day she died the neighbours came to snicker "Well, that's what comes from too much pills and liquor" But when I saw her laid out like a queen she was the happiest... corpse... I'd ever seen I think of Elsie to this very day I remember how she'd turned to me and say "What good is sitting alone in your room? Come hear the music play Life is a cabaret, old chum come to the cabaret And as for me as for me I made my mind up, back in Chelsea when I go, I'm going like Elsie Start by admitting from cradle to tomb isn't that long a stay Life is a cabaret, old chum it's only a cabaret, old chum And I love the cabaret
Fabulous Character Composer(s): Bennie Benjamin Performer(s): Sarah Vaughan
To me he's a fabulous character (He's near and I glow) A fabulous character (And I love him so) He walks by my side And I dance on air I find he's kind of a special guy (My heart can't be wrong) I kiss him and I know why (My life is a song) He's so marvelous No one can compare Till now my life was a merry-go-round I never knew a carefree day And then it happened, I suddenly found The someone who could make me feel this way To me he's a fabulous character (He's all I can see) A fabulous character (And he'll always be) What's more fabulous He belongs to me

Caballo Que No Galopa
Composer(s): Horacio Guarany
Performer(s): Horacio Guarany; El Chango Nieto
Caballo que no galopa va derecho al pisadero y al que lo topa la muerte va derechito al infierno Andar sólo y galopando como quien se va perdiendo con el alma dolorida caminito de los cerros Andar solo y galopando como quien se va nomás las lágrimas bajo el poncho porque no es de hombre llorar
(Estribillo)
Mi caballito querido ésta te pido nomás nos han echado los perros pero no me han de alcanzar Caballo que no galopa va derecho al pisadero estrella que no hace noche se alumbra con el lucero Soy jinete de la noche voy galopando hacia el alba ando lejos de mi tierra por no vender mi guitarra Soy jinete de la noche algún día aclarará sólo le pido a mi tierra que no me quiera olvidar
That's How I Need You Composer(s): Joe McCarthy - Joe Goodwin - Al. Piantadosi
Sometimes when someone needs something, something to make someone glad why couldn't something help someone, Why should that someone be sad? You are the something I mean, dear, I am the someone so blue Love is so hard to explain dear, I only know that I need you
Something could change someone's world, dear Something could brighten the sky something could make someone happy, if something only would try Someone is waiting and hoping, hoping to have someone near I am the someone, who's waiting, you are the something so dear
Like the roses need their fragrance, like a sweetheart needs a kiss like the summer needs the sunshine, like a laddie needs a miss like a broken heart needs gladness, like the flowers need the dew like a baby needs its mother, that's how I need you
Gypsies, Tramps And Thieves Composer(s): Bob Stone Performer(s): Cher; and various other artists
I was born in the wagon of a travelin' show My mama used to dance for the money they'd throw Papa would do whatever he could Preach a little gospel, sell a couple bottles of Doctor Good
Gypsies, tramps, and thieves We'd hear it from the people of the town They'd call us gypsies, tramps, and thieves But every night all the men would come around And lay their money down
Picked up a boy just south of Mobile Gave him a ride, filled him with a hot meal I was sixteen, he was twenty-one Rode with us to Memphis And Papa woulda shot him if he knew what he'd done
Gypsies, tramps, and thieves We'd hear it from the people of the town They'd call us gypsies, tramps, and thieves But every night all the men would come around And lay their money down
I never had schoolin' but he taught me well With his smooth southern style Three months later I'm a girl in trouble And I haven't seen him for a while Oh, no, I haven't seen him for a while
She was born in the wagon of a travelin' show Her mama had to dance for the money they'd throw Grandpa'd do whatever he could Preach a little gospel, sell a couple bottles of Doctor Good
Gypsies, tramps, and thieves We'd hear it from the people of the town They'd call us gypsies, tramps, and thieves But every night all the men would come around And lay their money down
Gypsies, tramps, and thieves We'd hear it from the people of the town They'd call us gypsies, tramps, and thieves But every night all the men would come around And lay their money down
That's Him Over There Composer(s): Marilyn Bergman - Lew Spence Performer(s): Nina Simone; Peggy Lee
I see your face in this room full of faces I'm trying hard not to stare Strange to see you again, here of all places That's him over there
My baby looks the same as he did when I met him I'd know that laugh anywhere It was foolish of me to think I'd forget him That's him over there
I wish I could be the girl at his side The one who has taken my place Can everyone see what I'm trying to hide Isn't it written all over my face?
I guess that you kow what extremes I have gone to To prove that I didn't care You were so anxious to meet the dream I've hung onto Well, that's him, that's my Jim, over there
Caballero
Composer(s): Louis Poterat - Francis López
Performer(s): Georges Guétary; M. Coste Orch.
Un Caballero revient de Grenade! Un Caballero chante son aubade! Un Caballero n'est pas un poète! Un Caballero n'en fait qu'à sa tête! Mais fais attention toi qui sans façon Ris d'un air moqueur, ma belle! Car je peux d'un bond franchir ton balcon Pour prendre ton cur rebelle ...
Devant tes rideaux, doux comme un agneau Mon chant dans la nuit s'attarde... Mais l'agneau d'un coup se transforme en loup Quand on rit de lui... prends garde! Ah!
Un Caballero repart pour Grenade! Un Caballero chante son aubade! Ton Caballero n'est pas un poète! Son cur est si gros qu'il en perd la tête Mais sur son cheval, un soir c'est fatal Il t'emportera ma belle ... Tu seras punie d'avoir ri de lui Et tu lui seras fidèle... Jusqu'à ce qu'un jour s'en aille l'amour Qui chante sous ta fenêtre... Alors regrettant sa chanson d'antan Tout bas tu diras peut-être...
O Caballero... O Caballero... O Caballero! Adios, adios, au revoir!
