There She Is, Miss America Composer(s): Bernie Wayne
There she is, Miss America There she is, your ideal The dream of a million girls who are more than pretty can come true in Atlantic City For she may turn out to be the Queen of femininity
There she is, Miss America There she is, your ideal With so many beauties she took the town by storm With her all-American face and form
And there she is Walking on air, she is Fairest of the fair, she is There she is - Miss America
Ruben And Cherise Composer(s): Robert Hunter; Jerry Garcia Performer(s): Jerry Garcia
Cherise was brushing her long hair gently down It was the afternoon of carnival as she brushes it gently down Rubin was strumming his painted mandolin It was inlaid with a pretty face in jade played in the carnival parade
Cherise was dressing as Pirouette in white When a fatal vision gripped her tight Cherise beware tonight Rubin, Rubin tell me truly true I feel afraid and I don't know why I do, Is there another girl for you?
If you could see my heart you would know it's true There's none Cherise, except for you, except for you I'd swear to it on my very soul, If I lie, say I fall down cold
When Rubin played on his painted mandolin The breeze would pause to listen in before going on its way again Masquerade began when nightfall finally woke Like waves against the bandstand, dancers broke to the painted mandolin
Looking out to the crowd who is standing there Sweet Ruby Claire at Rubin stared, at Rubin stared She was dressed as Pirouette in red And her hair hung gently down
The crowd pressed round, Ruby stood as though alone Rubin's song took on a different tone and he played it just for her The song he played was the carnival parade Each note cut a thread of Cherise's fate it cut through like a blade
Rubin was playing his painted mandolin When Ruby froze and turned to stone for the strings played all alone The voice of Cherise from the face of the mandolin Singing Rubin, Rubin tell me true for I have no one but you
If you could see my heart you would know it true There's none Cherise, except for you, except for you I'd swear to it on my very soul If I lie, say I fall down cold
The truth of love an unsung song must tell The course of love must follow blind without a look behind Rubin walked the streets of New Orleans till dawn Cherise so lightly in his arms and her hair hung gently down
There She Goes Again Composer(s): Lou Reed Performer(s): The Velvet Underground & Nico - 1967 Covered by multiple other artists
There she goes again Shes out on the streets again Shes down on her knees, my friend But you know shell never ask you please again
Now take a look, theres no tears in her eyes She wont take it from just any guy, what can you do You see her walkin on down the street Look at all your friends shes gonna meet You better hit her
There she goes again Shes knocked out on her feet again Shes down on her knees, my friend But you know shell never ask you please again
Now take a look, theres no tears in her eyes Like a bird, you know she would fly, what can you do You see her walkin on down the street Look at all your friends that shes gonna meet You better hit her
Now take a look, theres no tears in her eyes Like a bird, you know she will fly, fly, fly away See her walking on down the street Look at all your friends that shes gonna meet
Shes gonna bawl and shout Shes gonna work it Shes gonna work it out, bye bye Bye bye baby All right
Staring right at 2000 AD As if mankind's atrocities to man has no history But just a glance at life in 2000 BC We find traces of man's inhumanity to man There's no mystery
All for one, one for all There's no way we'll reach our greatest heights Unless we heed the call Me for you, you for me There's no chance of world salvation Less the conversation's peace
We can't pause, watch and say "no" this can't be When there's a plan by any means to have Cleansing of one's ethnicity And we shouldn't act as if we don't hear nor see Like the holocaust of six million Jews and A hundred and fifty million blacks during slavery
All for one, one for all There's no way we'll reach our greatest heights Unless we heed the call Me for you, you for me There's no chance of world salvation Less the conversation's peace
When publicly or privately convened May love, positivity and life's preservation be the basic theme And should you put your trust in some prophet in life Give him trust but your faith must stay with the one Who gave the ultimate sacrifice for...
All for one, one for all There's no way we'll reach our greatest heights Unless we heed the call Me for you, you for me There's no chance of world salvation Less the conversation's peace Less the conversation's peace

There She Goes Composer(s): Durwood Haddock - Eddie Miller - W.S. Stevenson Performer(s): Carl Smith and multiple other artists
There she goes, she's walkin' away Each step she takes brings heartaches my way He's won her heart, I lost her some way There she goes, she's walkin' away
If I hadn't cheated, if I hadn't lied I'd be the one who's walkin' by her side I love her still and I guess that it shows She's walkin' away, there she goes
There she goes! She's walkin' away Each step she takes brings heartaches my way
If I hadn't cheated, if I hadn't lied I'd be the one who's walkin' by her side (by her side) I love her still and I guess that it shows She's walkin' away, there she goes There she goes There she goes There she goes
Contre Vents Et Marées ((Adapted from: Theme From A Movie That Never Happened (Eric Clapton) - 1998)) Composer(s): Eric Clapton - Francoise Hardy Performer(s): Françoise Hardy - 2000
Contre vents et marées Oublie les apparances Le silence N'est jamais immobile Toute attente a un sens Aie confiance Imagine Les forces en présence Continue ton effort Pense au but, cherche encore Le monde et toi Êtes sommis à des Lois Songes-y quelquefois... Avant que tu t'élances Que tu danses Que tu coures sur ton fil Que tes belles évidences Ta violence Tombent en ruines Bien des deuils t'attendent... Tu dois juste avancer Regarder sans tricher La vérité Suivre ta route Coûte que coûte Contre vents et marees Si nul n'echappe à ces orages Qui balayent au passage Les repères Qui éteignent la lumière.. Dans la nuit noire Tôt ou tard Va briller un espoir Et germer ta victoire... Arme-toi de patience La souffrance N'est jamais inutile Elle élève en silence Tisse les fils Invisible D'une autre naissance Vois la mer qui se calme Le soleil dans les arbres Sèche tes larmes Sois vivant, reste vrai Contre vents et marées

Rubber Bullets Composer(s): Lol Creme; Kevin Godley; Graham Gouldman Performer(s): 10cc
I went to a party at the local county jail All the cons were dancing and the band began to wail But the guys were indiscreet They were brawling in the street At the local dance at the local county jail Well the band were playing and the booze began to flow But the sound came over on the police car radio Down at precinct 49 Having a tear-gas of a time Sergeant Baker got a call from the governor of the county jail Load up, load up, load up with Rubber Bullets Load up, load up, load up with Rubber Bullets I love to hear those convicts squeal It's a shame these slugs ain't real But we can't have dancing at the local county pen Sergeant Baker and his men made a beeline for the jail And for miles around you could hear the sirens wail There's a rumour going round death row That a fuse is gonna blow At the local hop at the local county jail Sergeant Baker started talking with a bullhorn in his hand He was cool, he was clear, he was always in command He said "blood will flow here, Padre Padre you talk to your boys..." "Trust in me - God will come to set you free..." Well we don't understand why you called in the National Guard When Uncle Sam is the one who belongs in the exercise yard We all got balls and brains - but some's got balls and chains At the local dance at the local county jail Load up, load up, load up with Rubber Bullets Load up, load up, load up with Rubber Bullets Is it really such a crime for a guy to spend his time At the local dance at the local county jail At the local dance at the local county jail What you gonna do about it what you gonna do? What you gonna do about it what you gonna do?
There Must Be A Way Composer(s): David Saxon - Sammy Gallop Performer(s): Joni James and multiple other artists
There isn't a place I can go a place where you won't be missed for there's not a place that I know where mem ries of you don't exist
But there must be a way to help me forget that we're through there must be a way to stop me from dreaming of you There must be a star in the skies that isn't reflecting your eyes I just don't know how to disguise how much I miss you There must be a song that doesn't remind me of you there must be a kiss to thrill me like yours used to do I looked for a way to be happy, happy with somebody new Oh, there must be a way but I can't find the way without you
Afuera hace frío adentro, recuerdos Mi viejo y su casa en un cerro del puerto Y allá en Santiago mi madre en silencio contando las horas por si un día yo vuelvo
¿Y qué puedo hacer ahora? si tan sólo quedan horas y ya mañana hay que partir? Llorando en solitario porque se queda en Santiago lo que me da fuerzas para vivir
¿Quién me presta maquillaje para continuar mi viaje? Hay otros amigos... por ahí...
Ahora me siento un poco el hermano de mi pasado y de un futuro un tanto incierto Con cuatro maletas en cien aeropuertos Y esta guitarra para empezar de nuevo...

There Must Be A Reason Composer(s): Benny Davis - Ted Murray Performer(s): Frankie Laine and multiple other artists
There must be a reason for rain drops to fall There must be a reason why mountains are tall And why are the stars in the sky There must be a reason why
There must be a reason for rivers to flow For beautiful trees and for flowers that grow And why have the birds' wings to fly There must be a reason why
The changes from season to season The dawning that brings a new day These wonders must all have a reason It was intended that way
There must be a reason for falling in love It must have been planned up in heaven above And why are we so much in love, you and I There must be a reason why
The changes from season to season The dawning that brings a new day These wonders must all have a reason It was intended that way
There must be a reason for falling in love It must have been planned up in heaven above And why are we so much in love, you and I There must be a reason why
Contemplation Rose Composer(s): Van Morrison Performer(s): Van Morrison
Puerto Rican Nursery Rhymes Angels in the snow and thyme And I'm keeping my mind on that rose In a church in Spanish Harlem
Got Watchtowers and Awakes for free In the laundromat for you and me But you can't take me down that way As I'm not sinking
And if we go down one time Next times not gonna be the last time And I'm contemplating that rose In a church in Spanish Harlem Didn't I bring you precious gifts Came to kiss you on the lips Didn't even appear To beg your pardon
To lay out in the morning sun Feel the cool breeze and the one Right there in, in my garden Puerto Rican Nursery Rhymes And angels, and angels, and the snow and thyme But I'm keeping my mind on that rose In a church in Spanish Harlem

There Lived A King Composer(s): Arthur Sullivan - William Schwenck Gilbert Performer(s): Owen Brannigan
Don Alhambra: There lived a King, as I've been told In the wonder-working days of old When hearts were twice as good as gold And twenty times as mellow Good-temper triumphed in his face And in his heart he found a place For all the erring human race And every wretched fellow When he had Rhenish wine to drink It made him very sad to think That some, at junket or at jink Must be content with toddy
Marcos And Giuseppe: With toddy, must be content with toddy
Don Alhambra: He wished all men as rich as he (And he was rich as rich could be) So to the top of every tree Promoted everybody
Marcos And Giuseppe: Now, that's the kind of King for me He wished all men as rich as he So to the top of every tree Promoted everybody!
Don Alhambra: Lord Chancellors were cheap as sprats And Bishops in their shovel hats Were plentiful as tabby cats In point of fact, too many Ambassadors cropped up like hay Prime Ministers and such as they Grew like asparagus in May And Dukes were three a penny On every side Field-Marshals gleamed Small beer were Lords-Lieutenant deemed With Admirals the ocean teemed All round his wide dominions
Marcos And Giuseppe: All round his wide dominions
Don Alhambra: And Party Leaders you might meet In twos and threes in every street Maintaining, with no little heat Their various opinions
Marcos And Giuseppe: Now that's a sight you couldn't beat Two Party Leaders in each street Maintaining, with no little heat Their various opinions
Don Alhambra: That King, although no one denies His heart was of abnormal size Yet he'd have acted otherwise If he had been acuter The end is easily foretold When every blessed thing you hold Is made of silver, or of gold You long for simple pewter When you have nothing else to wear But cloth of gold and satins rare For cloth of gold you cease to care Up goes the price of shoddy
Marcos And Giuseppe: Up goes the price of shoddy
Don Alhambra: In short, whoever you may be To this conclusion you'll agree When every one is somebodee Then no one's anybody!
Marcos And Giuseppe: Now that's as plain as plain can be To this conclusion we agree
All: When every one is somebodee Then no one's anybody!
