Cowboy In The Continental Suit
Composer(s): Marty Robbins
Performer(s): Marty Robbins; Chris LeDoux



Well, he walks out in the arena, all dressed up to the brim
Said he just came down from a place called Highland Rim
Well, he said he came to ride the horse, the one they call The Brute
But he didn’t look like a cowboy in his continental suit

We sniggered at the way he dressed but he never said a word
He walks on by the rest of us as if he hadn’t heard
A thousand bucks went to the man that could ride this wild cayuse
A meaner horse was never born than the one they called The Brute

The horse that he was looking for was in shoot number eight
He walked up very slowly, put his hand upon the gate
We knew he was a thoroughbred when he pulled a sack of Dukes
From the inside pocket of his continental suit

Well, he rolled himself a Quirley and he lit it standing there
Blew himself a smoke ring and he watched it disappear 
We thought he must be crazy when he opened up the gate
Standing just inside was fifteen hundred pounds of hate

The buckskin tried to run him down but the stranger was too quick
He stepped aside and threw his arms around the horses neck
And he pulled himself upon the back of the horse they called The Brute
Sat like he was born there in his continental suit

The Brute’s hind end was in the air, his front end on the ground 
Kicking and a-squealing, trying to shake the stranger down
But the stranger didn’t give an inch, he came to ride The Brute
And he came to ride the buckskin in a continental suit

Well, I turned around to look at Jim and he was watching me
He said “I don’t believe the crazy things I think I see
But I think I see the outlaw, the one they call The Brute
Ridden by a cowboy in a continental suit”

The Brute came to a standstill, ashamed that he’d been rode
By a city cowboy in some continental clothes
The stranger took his money then we don’t know where he went
We don’t know where he came from and we haven’t seen him since 

The moral of this story – never judge by what they wear
Underneath some ragged clothes could be a millionaire
Everybody listen, don’t be fooled by this galoot
This sure enough broke buster in a continental suit

Carabelas Nada
Composer(s): Fito Páez
Performer(s): Fito Páez; Liliana Vitale



Chico Buarque tiene puestos
los anteojos que deje sobre
un cuaderno con su rostro
iluminando el cuarto
algo entrando en la mañana
carabelas de la nada
carabelas nada

Chocan, se hacen trizas en el aire
lo del tango es una idea que me toca aunque no quiera
una chica sube a un taxi
Caballito, Buenos Aires
muere un tipo en Mataderos
un disparo en un aguante

Y esto no deja de ser una canción
desde el alma
sol, que me calma

Hoy pare con la botella
todos saben lo difícil que es zafarse de ella
ella tiene un par de piernas mas largas que vieras
y hace que tu corazón parezca que aun siguiera
tango que me hiciste mal y sin embargo te quiero
quiero sepultar
la vieron a tu vieja con un pan de Hash
vendiéndole a los negros en la calle Montparnase

Y esto no deja de ser una canción
desde el alma
sol, que me calma

Firefly
Composer(s): Carolyn Leigh - Cy Coleman
Performer(s): Tony Bennett



I call her firefly, 'cause, oh my
She radiates moon glow
Wants none of that noon glow
She starts to glitter when the sun goes down

By eight p.m., it's mayhem
She switches the brights up
Lights up and gives me a call
"Hey, take me to the fireflies ball"

But when I get her there, set her there
Do I get to pet her there and grab me some glow?
No, she's a gad-about, mad about lurin' ev'ry lad about
While leavin' me moanin' low

Oh firefly, why can't I latch on to you no how?
Oh how I love you, but gee
While you set the night on fire, fly
Shine a little light on me

The Covered Wagon Rolled Right Along
Composer(s): Hy Heath - Britt Wood
Performer(s): Spike Jones
and multiple other artists



The covered wagon rolled right along
While the pioneers gave out a happy song
Sue and Pappy did the drivin'
Mammy cooked and kept us thrivin'
And the covered wagon rolled right along

We left Kentucky on the tenth of May
Pappy said, "I'll see that we eat every day
Mammy, you just grease the skillet
If we some food, I'll just kill it"
And the covered wagon rolled right along

We crossed the Reservation of the Sioux
While the Indians stood and watched us passin' through
Not a redskin dared to trifle
While old Pappy had his rifle
And the covered wagon rolled right along

For clothes we had to skin the buffalo
But when winter came and brought the ice and snow
Pappy's pants ran out of leather
Mammy prayed for milder weather
And the covered wagon rolled right along

At playin poker Pappy won his fame
Once he got an Indian Chief into a game
Pappy wound up with four deuces
And a squaw with six papooses
And the covered wagon rolled right along

Pappy sold the mules and then went on a spree
And he said, "At last I have my liberty"
Mammy said, "Cut out your braggin'"
As she hitched him to the wagon
And the covered wagon rolled right along

At last Old California came in view
And we realised with hardship we were through
Ma and Sue are lucky creatures
Pappy's makin' western features
And the covered wagon rolled right along

Carabela

Performer(s): Javier Solís
and multiple other artists



Estoy en el puente de mi carabela
y llevo mi alma prendida al timón
Un soplo de amores empuja mi vela
y zarpo cantando y zarpo cantando
divina canción

Ni marco mi ruta ni llevo camino
por donde mi nave ha de navegar
Yo sé que sin rumbo me lleva el destino
y será un día mi nave, será un día mi nave
la reina del mar

Que marque mi ruta el ave que vuela
la estrella errante o el raudo ciclón
Yo quiero ver limpia mi fúlgida estrella
y será un día mi nave, será un día mi nave
la diosa del mar

Carabat

L'hiver est doux quand sur un long lit
Son élan me dit tout qui vaille
Qu'il est bon de se sentir en vie
Tant pis si c'est un feu de paille
Elle a
Les airs de Venise
Et la
Gráce qui divinisent
Les lascives marquises de Carabat
Puis le temps pass' et toujours dit-on
En passant affadit l'amour
Comme je ris, des superstitions
Et pour moi au comme premier jour
Elle a
Les façon éprises
Et l'attitude évasive
Des latines marquises de Carabat
Son cœur toujours à amadouer
L'aimer un défi qui m'effare
Mais pour moi, dussé-je m'y brûler
Rien d'autre ne peut compter car
Elle a
Brûlé mes valises
Et là
Désolé ladies
Mais l'amour fou m'électrise à Carabat
Elle a
Brûlé mes valises
Et là
Partout qu'on le dise
J'ai l'amour d'une marquise de Carabat

Performer(s): Flee-Rekkers;
and various other artists



I wish I was a space man
The fastest guy alive
I'd fly you round the universe
In Fireball XL-5
Way out in space together
Compass of the sky
My heart would be a fireball
A fireball
Everytime I gazed into your starry eyes

We'd take the path to Jupiter
And maybe very soon
We'd cruise along the Milky Way
And land upon the moon
To our wonderland of stardust
We'll zoom our way to Mars
My heart would be a fireball
A fireball
If you would be my Venus of the stars

The night will soon be dawn

Take me now
Got to have your love right now

Fire, baby, I'm on fire
Oh, you are the good times that I know
Higher, baby, take me higher
And better times I'll never know

The sun will soon be shinin'
Won't shine on me alone
Cause I have you here, my darlin'
To call my very own

Lord knows I must be dreamin'
Ah, nothing feels this good
You've given me a feelin'
Like no other woman could

Got to have your love right now

The Country's In The Very Best Of Hands
Composer(s): Gene de Paul - Johnny Mercer
Performer(s): Shelly Manne
and multiple other artists



Them city folks and friends
Are pretty much alike
Though they ain't used to living in the sticks
We don't like stone or cement
But we is in agreement
When we get started talking politics

The country's in the very best of hands
The best of hands
The best of hands

The treasury says the national debt
Is climbing to the sky
And government expenditures
Have never been so high
It makes a fellow get a
Gleam of pride when they decide
To see how our economy expands
The country's in the very best of hands

The country's in the very best of hands
The best of hands
The best of hands

You oughtta hear the senate
When their drawing up a bill
Where asses and dimwits are crowded in each conisil (sp.)
Such legal terminology
Would give your heart a thrill
There's phrases there that no one understands
The country's in the very best of hands

The building boom, they say
Is getting bigger every day
And when I asked a feller
How could everybody pay
He come up with an answer
That made everything okay
Supplies are getting greater than demands
The country's in the very best of hands

Don't you believe them congressmen
And senators are dumb
When they run into problems
That is tough to overcome
They just declare something
They call the moritorium 
The upper and the lower house dismans
The country's in the very best of hands

Fox Motors is connected to the nominee
The nominee's connected to the treasury
When he ain't connected to the treasury
He sits around on his thigh bone

He sits around in his fancy car
This big congressional parking lot
Just sits around on the you know what
'Cause there they calls it their thigh bone

Them bones, them bones
Gonna rise again
Gonna excercise a franchise again
Gonna tax us up to our eyes again
When he gets them off of their thigh bone

The country's in the very best of hands
The best of hands
The best of hands

The farm bill should be
Eight-nine percent paroty
And all their fellow recommends
It should be mound at three
But eighty, ninety-five percent who cares about decree
It's paroty that no one understands
The county's in the very best of hands

Them GOP's and democrats
Each hates the other one
They's always criticizing
How the country should be run
But neither tell the public
What the others gone and done
As long as no one knows
Where no one stands
The country's in the very best of hands

They sits around and just place their ass
Where folks in congress has always sat
Just sits around on their excess bag
Up there they calls it their thigh bone

They sits around till they starts to snore
Jumps up and hollers
I has the floor
Then sits right down where they sats before
Up there they calls it their thigh bone

Them bones, them bones
Gonna cross again
So dignified and so wise again
While the budget doubles in size again
When it gets them off of their thigh bone

The country's in the very best of hands
The best of hands
The best of hands

The money that they taxes us
That's known as revenues
They compound up collaterals
Subtracts the residue

Don't worry about the principal
And interest it encrues
They're shipping all that stuff to foreign lands
The country's in the very best of hands

Cara Italia
Performer(s): Salvatore Adamo



Dire qu'il a fallu mille Dante
Pour dire ta splandeur
Et mille Botticelli
Pour peindre tes couleurs
Belle Italie
On a beau vivre loin de toi
On n'oublie pas ton charme d'autrefois

Mais tes nuits si belles
Ont troqué leur dentelle
Pour un manteau de peur 
Pour un manteau de peur
On tremble dans tes rues
Et les chansons se sont tues
Sous tes balcons en fleurs
Sous tes balcons en fleurs

Mia cara Italia
Qu'est-ce qu'il t'arrive la
Ça n'te ressemble pas
Ce masque de violence
Mia cara Italia
Fais que sous ton ciel bleu
Tes amoureux
Rêvent encore de romance

Dire que tout au long de ma vie
J'ai gardé ta douceur
Au fond de moi comme une nostalgie
Belle Italie... pourquoi tant d'ironie
Au moindre mot... qui veut toucher ton coeur

Est-ce vraiment stupide
En ces temps fratricides
De te parler d'amour 
De te parler d'amour
De se faire une fête
Quand un refrain s'entête
À chanter les beaux jours 
À chanter les beaux jours

Mia cara Italia
Qu'est-ce qu'il t'arrive la
Ça n'te ressemble pas
Ce masque de violence
Mia cara Italia
Fais que sous ton ciel bleu
Tes amoureux
Rêvent encore de romance

Mia cara Italia...

Fire To Ice
Composer(s): Billy MacKenzie
Performer(s): Associates



So summer came and warmed our smile
We talked too much and all the while
You know that love can turn so fast
I should have known it wouldn't last

Wo wo wo wo still you go on testing me
Wo wo wo wo it's not the way it's meant to be

So winter came broke every rule
Kiss me goodbye strawberry fool and love can burn from fire to ice
I never could take good advice

Wo wo wo wo still you go on testing me
Wo wo wo wo it's not the way it's meant to be

Now you're feeling so pleased with yourself
You're so sure and at ease with yourself
Now you're stronger and need me no more
Days are longer and I'm feeling sore
At the risk of repeating myself
What's the point of defeating yourself
Don't you know you're just cheating (oh well)

Wo wo wo wo still you go on testing me
Wo wo wo wo it's not the way it's meant to be

Now you're feeling so pleased with yourself
You're so sure and at ease with yourself
Now you're stronger and need me no more
Days are longer and I'm feeling sore
At the risk of repeating myself
What's the point of defeating yourself
Don't you know you're just cheating (oh well)

So summer came
So summer came

The Core
Composer(s): Eric Clapton - Marcy Levy
Performer(s): Eric Clapton



Every morning when I wake, a feeling soon begins to overtake me
Ringing in my ears resounds through my brain; it finally surrounds me
There is fire, there is life, there is passion, fever and fury
There is love and there is hate, there is longing, anger and worry

Oh, I am a flame; feel it touch my heart
And down at my core is the hottest part
I can run without fear

If it should become too cold, I know I can endure the frostbite
Oh, a blanket then I'll wrap around me; I keep myself so close to my sight
No one then can cause me harm, just as the river runs into the sea
'Cause every day, a fire alarm is deafening the silence all around me

It is burning
It is burning

You can trust me; we can laugh. Together we can share our sorrow
I will give you secrets too, an attitude that you may borrow
Gypsy woman said to me, "One thing you must bear in your mind
You are young and you are free, but damned if you're deceased in your own lifetime"

Oh, you have a flame; feel it in your heart
And down at the core is the hottest part
We can run without fear

It is burning
It is burning

Cara A Cara
Performer(s): Chico Buarque



Tenho um peito de lata
E um nó de gravata
No coração
Tenho uma vida sensata
Sem emoção
Tenho uma pressa danada
Não paro pra nada
Não presto atenção
Nos versos desta canção
Inútil

Tira a pedra do caminho
Serve mais um vinho
Bota vento no moinho
Bota pra correr
Bota força nessa coisa
Que se a coisa pára
A gente fica cara a cara
Cara a cara cara a cara
Bota lenha na fornalha
Põe fogo na palha
Bota fogo na batalha
Bota pra ferver
Bota força nessa coisa
Que se a coisa pára
A gente fica cara a cara
Cara a cara cara a cara

Tenho um metro quadrado
Um olho vidrado
E a televisão
Tenho um sorriso comprado
A prestação
Tenho uma pressa danada
Não paro pra nada
Não presto atenção
Nas cordas desse violão
Inútil

Tira a pedra do caminho ...

Tenho o passo marcado
O rumo traçado sem discussão
Tenho um encontro marcado
Com a solidão
Tenho uma pressa danada
Não moro do lado
Não me chamo João
Não gosto nem digo que não
É inútil

Tira a pedra do caminho ...

Vou correndo, vou-me embora
Faço um bota-fora
Pega um lenço agita e chora
Cumpre o seu dever
Bota força nessa coisa
Que se a coisa pára
A gente fica cara a cara
Cara a cara cara a cara
Com o que não quer ver

Fire On The Mountain
Composer(s): George McCorkle
Performer(s): The Marshall Tucker Band;
Candy Coburn; George McCorkle



Took my fam'ly away from our Carolina home
Had dreams about the west and started to roam
Six long months on a dust covered trail
They say heaven's at the end
But so far it's been hell

And there's fire on the mountain
Lightening in the air
Gold in them hills and it's waiting for me there

We were digging and shifting from five to five
Selling ev'rything we found just to stay alive
Gold flowed free like the whiskey in the bars
Sinning was the big thin Lord
And satan was the star

And there's fire on the mountain
Lightening in the air
Gold in them hills and it's waiting for me there

Dance hall girls were the evening treat
Empty cartridges and blood lined the gutters of the street
Men were shot down for the sake of fun
Or just to hear the noise of their 44 guns

And there's fire on the mountain
Lightening in the air
Gold in them hills and it's waiting for me there

Now my widow, she weeps by my grave
Tears flow free for her man she couldn't save
Shot down in cold blood by a gun that carried fame
All for a useless and no good worthless claim

And there's fire on the mountain
Lightening in the air
Gold in them hills and it's waiting for me there

The Conversation
Performer(s): Waylon Jennings & Hank Williams Jr.



Hank let's talk about your daddy

Well if he was here right now Bocefus
Would he think that we were right

Don't you know he would Waltalja
Be right here by our sides
If we left for a show in Grover

Wherever he is I hope he's happy
You know I hope he's doing well

Most folks don't know that they fired him from the opry
And that caused his greatest pain

Let me tell you about lovesick

You know I've always loved to listen
So the stories about that driftin' cowboy band (and the man)

Still the most wanted outlaw in the land

Cuz there stories only Hank can tell

Well back then they called him crazy
Now a days they call him a saint
Most folks don't know that they fired him from the opry
And that caused his greatest pain

Let me tell you about lovesick
How Miss Audrey loved that man
You know I've always loved to listen
So the stories about that driftin' cowboy band (and the man)
Know when we get right down to it
Still the most wanted outlaw in the land
