Liz:
You know how people have these little habits
That get you down
Like Bernie
Bernie liked to chew gum
No, not chew... Pop!
So I came home this one day
And I am reAlly irritated
And looking for a little sympathy
And there's Bernie layin' on the couch
Drinkin' a beer and chewin'
No, not chewin'... Poppin'
So, I said to him
I said, "You pop that gum one more time..."
And he did.
So I took the shotgun off the wAll
And I fired two warning shots... into his head!
All:
He had it coming
He had it coming
He only had himself to blame
If you'd have been there
If you'd have heard it
I betcha you would
Have dome the same
Annie:
I met Ezekiel Young from Salt Lake city
About two years ago
And he told me he was single
And we hit it off right away
So, we started living together
He'd go to work, he'd come home
I'd fix him a drink, we'd have dinner
And then I found out
"Single" he told me?
Single, my ass!
Not only was he married
Oh, no, he had six wives!
One of those Mormons, you know
So that night, when he came home
I fixed him his drink as usual
You know, some guys just can't hold their arsenic!
All:
He had it coming
He had it coming
He took a flower
In its prime
And then he used it
And he abused it
It was a murder
But not a crime!
June:
Now, I'm standing in the kitchen
Carvin' up the chicken for dinner
Minding my own business
And in storms my husband Wilbur
In a jealous rage
"You been screwin' the milkman!" he says
He was crazy and he kept screamin'
"You been screwin the milkman!"
And then he ran into my knife
He ran into my knife ten times!
All:
If you'd have been there
If you'd have seen it
I betcha you would have done the same
Hunyak:
Mit kersek, en itt? Azt mondjok
Hogy a hires lakem lefogta
A ferjemet en meg lecsaptam a fejet
De nem igaz, en artatlan vagyok
Nem tudom mert mondja
Uncle Sam hogy en tettem
Probaltam a rendorsegen megmayarazni de nem ertettek meg
June:
Yeah, but did you do it?
Hunyak:
Uh uh! Not guilty!
Velma:
My sister, Veronica and I did this double act
And my husband, Charlie, used to travel round with us
Now, for the last number in our act
we did these 20 acrobatic tricks in a row
One, two, three, four, five... splits, spread-eagles
Back flips, flip flops, one right after the other
So this one night before the show
We're down at the hotel Cicero, the three of us, boozin'
Havin' a few laughs and we ran out of ice
So I go out to get some
I come back, open the door, and there's Veronica and Charlie
Doing Number Seventeen, the spread-eagle
Well, I was in such a state of shock
I completely blacked out, I can't remember a thing
It wasn't until later when I was washing the blood off my hands
I even knew they were dead.
Velma: They had it coming
Girls: They had it coming
Velma: They had it coming

Velma:
But if I'd done it
How could you tell me that I was wrong?
Mona:
I loved Al Lipschitz more than I can possibly say
He was a real artistic guy... sensitive... a painter
But he was always trying to find himself
He'd go out every night looking for himself
And on the way he found Ruth, Gladys, Rosemary and Irving
I guess you can say we broke up because of artistic differences
He saw himself as alive and I saw him dead!

Forest Fire Composer(s): Dead Kennedys Performer(s): Dead Kennedys
No junk food, just earthly goods I ate weird berries in the woods Now I'm seeing colors I'm getting higher I think I'll start a forest fire There's a forest fire climbin' the hill Burnin' wealthy California homes Better run run run run run From the fire But some of us stay and watch And we think of your insurance cost And we laugh laugh laugh laugh laugh laugh At your lives Windows covered with bars Security guards Is that a house or a fortress Against the world Windows covered with bars Security guards Is that a house or a prison How you gonna get out? Electric bull and your tennis courts Pink sports cars and your boat Getting fried fried fried fried fried fried By the fire Windows covered by bars Floodlights for the yard It's a pleasure to watch you Watch it all melt But hey! What about the cocaine Stockpiled in the basement Be a hero and save it You know you're gonna need it Where's your brand new pretty wife She might still be inside Either save her or your cocaine from the fire But the gates and doors are locked Cause the burglar alarms went off Ever wonder why we laugh laugh At your lives Windows covered with bars Fences spiked with barbed wire Never looked so helpless Engulfed in flames Cameras watchin' the walls Don't forget the dogs Now you're trapped in your prison How you gonna get out See the gerbil Run run run run run run run run Run run run run run run run run Run run run run run run run run From the fire
Girl In The Blue Velvet Band Composer(s): Cliff Carlisle - Mel Foree Performer(s): Bill Monroe and multiple other artists
One evening while out for a ramble The hour was just about nine I met a young maiden in 'Frisco On the corner of Cherry and Pine
On her face there was beauty of nature And her eyes seem to expand Her hair was so rich and so brilliant Entwined in a blue velvet band
We strolled down the long street together In my pocket she placed a small hand She Planted the evidence on me A diamond that was worth ten grand
Then I heard the wild scream of the sirens And the girl in the blue velvet band She left me to face all the troubles With a diamond that was worth ten grand
They sent me to San Quenton for stealin' God knows I'm an innocent man For the guilty one now she lies dyin' That girl in the blue velvet band
Last night while bedtime was ringin' I was standin' close to the bars I fancied I could hear her voice callin' From far out on the ocean of stars
I'll be out in a week then I'm leavin' But I'll carry the name of a man Who spent ten years in this prison For the girl in the blue velvet band
Last night while bedtime was ringin' I was standin' close to the bars I fancied I could hear her voice callin' From far out on the ocean of stars
Dis moi, Céline, les années ont passé Pourquoi n'as tu jamais pensé à te marier? De tout' mes surs qui vivaient ici Tu es la seule sans mari
Non, non, non, ne rougis pas, non, ne rougis pas Tu as, tu as toujours de beaux yeux Ne rougis pas, non, ne rougis pas Tu aurais pu rendre un homme heureux
Dis moi, Céline, toi qui es notre aînée Toi qui fus notre mèr', toi qui l'as remplacée N'as tu vécu pour nous autrefois Que sans jamais penser à toi?
Non, non, non, ne rougis pas, non, ne rougis pas Tu as, tu as toujours de beaux yeux Ne rougis pas, non, ne rougis pas Tu aurais pu rendre un homme heureux
Dis moi, Céline, qu'est il donc devenu Ce gentil fiancé qu'on n'a jamais revu? Est c' pour ne pas nous abandonner Que tu l'as laissée s'en aller?
Non, non, non, ne rougis pas, non, ne rougis pas Tu as, tu as toujours de beaux yeux Ne rougis pas, non, ne rougis pas Tu aurais pu rendre un homme heureux
Mais non, Céline, ta vie n'est pas perdue Nous sommes les enfants que tu n'as jamais eus Il y a longtemps que je le savais Et je ne l'oublierai jamais
Ne pleure pas, non, ne pleure pas Tu as toujours les yeux d'autrefois Ne pleure pas, non, ne pleure pas Nous resterons toujours près de toi Nous resterons toujours près de toi
Foreplay/Long Time Composer(s): Tom Scholz Performer(s): Boston; Smokin'
It's been such a long time I think I should be goin', yeah And time doesn't wait for me, it keeps on rollin' Sail on, on a distant highway I've got to keep on chasin' a dream I've gotta be on my way Wish there was something I could say
Well I'm takin' my time, I'm just movin' on You'll forget about me after I've been gone And I take what I find, I don't want no more It's just outside of your front door
It's been such a long time It's been such a long time
Well I get so lonely when I am without you But in my mind, deep in my mind I can't forget about you Good times, and faces that remind me I'm tryin' to forget your name and leave it all behind me You're comin' back to find me
Well I'm takin' my time, I'm just movin' on You'll forget about me after I'v e been gone And I take what I find, I don't want no more It's just outside of y our front door
It's been such a long time It's been such a long time
Yeah It's been such a long time I think I should be goin', yeah And time doesnt wait for me, it keeps on rollin' There's a long road, I've gotta stay in time with I've got to keep on chasin' that dream, though I may never find it I'm always just behind it
Well I'm takin' my time, I'm just movin' along Takin' my time, just movin' along Takin' my time, takin' my time...
The Girl I Loved Out In The Golden West Composer(s): Charles Avril - C.H. Scoggins
Twilight shadows come and go In the evening's sunset glow And the birds are singing goodnight in the dell And I hear the robin trill In its nest beneath the hill Singing melodies my sad heart knows so well While I listen in the glow Of pale moon rising slow I hear a voice of one I long best Tho' she left me long before Yet I see her as of yore The girl I loved out in the golden west
Just like children running wild For no care our world defiled And our laughter echoed load among the hills And we rambled in the dell Near the spot I loved so well When I think of her my heart with sadness fills For one day down by the brook 'Neath a cool and shady nook She laid her golden head upon my breast It was there her first sweet kiss Filled my raptured soul with bliss The girl I loved out in the golden west
Once again I feel the spell But no words of mine can tell I can see her grave beneath the mountain crest And I'm keeping green the place Where tonight I see the face Of the girl I loved out in the golden west
Sont trois jeunes garçons S'en allant à la guerre S'en allant à la guerre Tout droit en regrettant Tout droit en regrettant Bien leurs maîtresses
Le plus jeune des trois Regrettait bien la sienne Regrettait bien la sienne Et il a bien raison C'est la plus jolie fille De tous les environs
Le bon soldat s'en va Trouver son capitaine "Bonjour, mon capitaine Donnez-moi mon congé Pour allez voir Céline Qui ne fait que pleurer..."
Son capitaine répond Comme un homme de guerre Ton joli passeport Va t'en, va voir ta fille Tu reviendras d'abord
Puis le galant s'en va Au château de son père "Bonjour mon père, ma mère Bonjour mes chers parents Sans oublier Céline Que mon cur aime tant"
Son père lui répond "Mais ta Céline est morte Mais ta Céline est morte Est morte en t'appelant Son corps est dans la terre Son âme, au Paradis"
Puis le galant s'en va Pleurer dessus sa tombe "Céline, ma Céline Parle, parle, parle-moi! Mon cur se désespère De jamais plus te voir..." Céline lui répond "Ma bouche est pleine de terre Ma bouche est pleine de terre... La tienne est pleine d'amour! Je garde l'espérance De te revoir un jour..."
Le bon soldat s'en va Trouver son capitaine "Bonjour, mon capitaine! Me voici de retour Puisque Céline est morte Je servirai toujours..."
Foreign Sand Composer(s): Roger Taylor; Yoshiki Performer(s): Roger Taylor
Here we go - ain't it grand Here we stand on foreign sand And we're not alone
Why do we fear what we don't understand Can't we reach out our hand to try just say 'hello' Try to plant a seed - fulfil the need - to make it grow - just say hello And when you're far from home try to learn from all you see Your eyes will tell you everything you need
Why do we dread what we really don't know Come not as concubine - come not as foe Come with intentions clearly shown Try to plant a seed - fulfil the need - to make it grow - just say hello And though you're far from home try to learn from all you see Your mind will tell you everything you need - everything you need
Here we go ain't it grand Here we stand on foreign sand And we're not alone
Red, yellow, black and white Every man stand in the light - stand not alone
It's not a lie - it's not a shame we play for keeps - it's not a scam No bigotry - we're hand in hand - it ain't a cinch - we make a stand We learn to live on foreign sand Just say hello
Why do we despise when we can't even speak We keep on spreading lies As far as we know it's the only way to be Try to plant a seed - fulfil the need - to make it grow - just say hello And though you're far from home try to learn what you could be Your heart will tell you everything you need even though you stand here you stand on foreign sand Ain't it grand here we stand On foreign sand Together we stand Here we stand On foreign sand

Celia
Composer(s): Phil Ochs
Performer(s): Phil Ochs
When the wind from the island is rollin' through the trees
When a kiss from a prison cell is carried in the breeze
That's when I wonder how sad a man can be
Oh, when will Celia come to me?
I still remember the mountains of the war
Sierra Madre and the Philipino shore
When will I lie beside my Celia 'neath the trees?
Oh, when will Celia come to me?
So many years were stolen, so many years are gone
And the vision of my Celia make dreams to dream upon
Each hour is a day filled with memories
Oh, when will Celia come to me?
I wake each morning and I watch the sun arise
Wonder if my Celia sleeps, wonder if she cries
If hate must be my prison lock, love must be the key
Oh, when will Celia come to me?
The guns have stopped their firing, you may wander through the hills
They kept my Celia through the war, they keep her from me still
She waits upon island now, a prisoner of the sea
Oh, when will Celia come to me?
When the wind from the island is rolling through the trees
When a kiss from a prison cell is carried in the breeze
That's when I wonder how sad a man can be
Oh, when will Celia come to me?
Oh, when will Celia come to me?
Avevi ragione tu
Mia cara... la vita non dura mai una sera
il tempo di una follia, è breve e fugge via, e poi
cosa rimane dentro noi, questa celeste nostalgia
questo saperti da sempre ancora, ancora mia
Il bene profondo non si offende
si spegne se è il caso e poi riaccende
passione violenta sia, comprendimi amica mia... tu puoi
tutto normale tra di noi, cara celeste nostalgia
dolce compagna di storie d'amore sempre mia
Vederti un istante sopra un treno
partire su altro e andar lontano
un lampo negli occhi ciao, d'accordo fa male ciao... ma tu
dentro di me, non muori più, azzurra celeste nostalgia
qualche parola affettuosa, è un po' poco però per noi, forse no
Amore mio grande amica mia
cara celeste nostalgia... un'ora un giorno, una vita
che cosa vuoi che sia... resti mia
Ford Econoline Composer(s): Nanci Griffith Performer(s): Nanci Griffith
She drove west from Salt Lake City
to the California coastline She hit the San Diego Freeway doing sixty miles an hour She had a husband on her bumper She had five restless children She was singing sweet as a mockingbird in that Ford Econoline
She's the salt of the earth Straight from the bosom of the Mormon church With a voice like wine Cruising along in that Ford Econoline Now her husband was a gambler, he was a Salt Lake City rambler He built a golden cage around his silver-throated wife Too many nights he left her crying with his cheating and his lying But his big mistake was him buying her that Ford Econoline
She's the salt of the earth Straight from the bosom of the Mormon church With a voice like wine Cruising along in that Ford Econoline Now her husband was a gambler, he was a Salt Lake City rambler He built a golden cage around his silver-throated wife Too many nights he left her crying with his cheating and his lying But his big mistake was him buying her that Ford Econoline

Now she sings her songs around this country From Seattle to Montgomery Those kids are grown and that rounder knows You cannot cage your wife Along the back roads of our nation, she's become a living legend She drives a Coupe DeVille but her heart rides still In that Ford Econoline She drives a Coup DeVille but her heart rides still In that Ford Econoline
The Girl From Yesterday Composer(s): Glenn Frey - Jack Tempchin Performer(s): Eagles
It wasn't really sad the way they said good-bye Or maybe it just hurt so bad she couldn't cry He packed his things, walked out the door and drove away And she became the girl from yesterday
He took a plane across the sea to some foreign land She stayed at home and tried so hard to understand How someone who had been so close could be so far away And she became the girl from yesterday
She doesn't know what's right She doesn't know what's wrong She only knows the pain that comes from waiting so long And she doesn't count the teardrops That she's cried while he's away Because she knows deep in her heart That he'll be back someday
The light's on in the window; she's waiting by the phone Talking to a memory that's never coming home She dreams of his returning and the things that he might say But she'll always be the girl from yesterday Yeah, she'll always be the girl from yesterday
Força Estranha Composer(s): Caetano Veloso Performer(s): Roberto Carlos; Brazil Inc.; Gal Costa; Caetano Veloso
Eu vi o menino correndo, eu vi o tempo Brincando ao redor do caminho daquele menino Eu pus os meus pés no riacho e acho que nunca os tirei O sol ainda brilha na estrada e eu nunca passei
Eu vi a mulher preparando outra pessoa O tempo parou para eu olhar para aquela barriga A vida é amiga da arte, é a parte que o sol me ensinou O sol que atravessa essa estrada que nunca passou
Por isso uma força me leva a cantar Por isso essa força estranha Por isso é que eu canto, não posso parar Por isso essa voz tamanha
Eu vi muitos cabelos brancos na fronte do artista O tempo não pára e no entanto ele nunca envelhece Aquele que conhece o jogo do fogo, das coisas que são É o sol, é o tempo, é a estrada, é o pé e é o chão
Eu vi muitos homens brigando, ouvi seus gritos Estive no fundo de cada vontade encoberta E a coisa mais certa de todas as coisas não vale um caminho sob o sol É o sol sobre a estrada, é o sol sobre a estrada, é o sol

Girl from Ipanema, she goes to Greenland

Girl from Ipanema, she goes to Greenland Girl from Ipanema, she goes to Greenland
Celebration Of The Year
Composer(s): John Pantry
Performer(s): John Pantry; The Fortunes
The celebration of the year, oohooh
There's a time for forgetting all the things that she's done wrong And the time for regretting the getting along before When you're standing on your own it's not at all the way you planned And no-one new is there and see When you're wishing she come home 'cause she would understand Then there would be
The celebration of the year, oh my love The celebration, that my dear, would be ours
But sometimes I get to thinking maybe I was in the wrong (Maybe I was in the wrong) And if only I can see you now then we would get along But I know I'm only dreaming and that I can hope to find The same girl that I loved before And that there could only be her to other girls I'm blind Wish I was sure
The celebration of the year, oh my love The celebration, that my dear, would be ours
The celebration of the year, oh my love The celebration, that my dear, would be ours
