There's A Quaker Down In Quaker Town Composer(s): David Berg - Alfred Solman
Two hours ride old Broadway There is a sleepy town, they say "Old Philadelphia" You opened my eyes And I apologize
Old William Penn, please pardon me One of your sons I want to be You love your quakers And I love one too That's why I'm strong for you
There's a quaker down in Quaker town When I am around she sighs But down in her heart, I know She's not so slow For oh, oh, oh, oh! Those eyes! Like the waters still she's very deep She knows a heap, I found She has that "Meet me later" look And oh, she knows her book This little Quaker down in Quaker town
There's A Place For Us Composer(s): Phil Collins Performer(s): Phil Collins
'... There's a place for us, somewhere a time and a place'
So here we are together just you and me sitting side by side don't know why with time just racing by but I don't want to go
Well I don't know much about it 'cos all I am is what you see in front of you there's no more feels so close and yet so far but I don't want to go
Here I am, take my hand here I am, please take my hand
I'd like to sit here with you if that's alright if you don't mind I could sit and stare all night sit here waiting for you to hold me tight
It's sad but I know it's true you see I know you well you'd only laugh at me and that would hurt me so just look at me here you've got me pleading with you but i don't want to go
'Cos you know that I love you so yes you know that I love you so
Here I will be here love for you love, I will always be here love
If you look real close you'll see my heart is on my sleeve and it'll be here waiting waiting for you, waiting for me someone once said that if you truly, truly believe you can make things happen make things appear to be all that they seem tell me do you believe?
We'll find a hideaway together we'll find a way somewhere, somehow, we'll find some way there must be somewhere there must be someplace we can find somewhere where they don't know my face believe me we can find it yes we can find it somewhere, there's a place for us somewhere, a time and a place for us somewhere we fly so close
Corazón De Madera Composer(s): Donato Póveda Performer(s): Juan Carlos Baglietto
Me miras y se que mientes que mientes y te equivocas porque el amor que provocas no es lo que sientes Bien se que no sientes nada lo adivino en tu mirada pero me voy tras de ti como si me amaras
Tu practicas la ternura como un amor mal nacido y me amas con unos besos desposeidos Con unos besos traidores tan llenos de un egoismo que solo son comparables al terrorismo
Eres como una hoguera corazón de madera un dia en el mismo fuego de tu placer te vas a perder
Me siento como un canalla perseguido por mi mismo ahogandome en el abismo de tus entranas Tus entranas son palabras palabras de boca en boca que levantan un altar y alli te colocan
Te bautizo con un nombre bastante vulgar y pido que aquel que me escuche no se sienta ofendido Mis palabras no hacen daño mas dano hacen los que mienten y pasan por este mundo como inocentes
Run The Voodoo Down Composer(s): Miles Davis; Cassandra Wilson Performer(s): Cassandra Wilson
I got high John in my pocket and mud in my shoes walked all the way from Mississippi just to spread the news don't care for idle conversation I'm not your girl about town but when it comes to make music I run the voodoo down
and here in this quiet place I own worlds are born
the night of my conception the star were fixed conjure woman told my mother she's gonna run and twist don't have to worry 'bout her learning she's gonna get around and when it comes to traveling she'll run the voodoo down
here in this quiet place we own we're born
destiny is my deliverance I walk this road alone I take my pleasure in remembering I'm just a rolling stone and I don't mind some company if you want to stay around but when it comes to my loving I run the voodoo down
and here in this quiet place I own worlds are born

Corazón De Barco Composer(s): Adrián Abonizio Performer(s): Juan Carlos Baglietto
Tengo el corazn en dos mitades que apenas puede sostenerse la derecha tira al viento y la izquierda tira redes Y al abrir los ojos de maana cuando comprendo donde estoy creo que el mundo cabe en mi cama pero me creo lo que no soy Corazn de barco furia reprimida marea alta con las velas cortas si lo que importa no es esta vida Corazn de barco todo lo abandonas ser tu origen de bosques lejanos eso de andar buscando lo imposible La abulia de los domingos clava su arenal en mi estoy desnudo slo recuerdo el astillero donde nac Y me hago dao creyendo que alguien vendr desde la orilla me creo libre, pero dependo que ella se suba a sus costillas
Run Samson Run Composer(s): Howard Greenfield; Neil Sedaka Performer(s): Neil Sedaka
Also recorded by: Pat Lynch & Airchords
In the bible, 1000 year BC There's a story of ancient history Bout a fella who was strong as he could be Till he met a cheatin gal who brought him tragedy
Chorus: Oh, run Samson run, Delilah's on her way Run Samson run, you ain't got time to stay Run Samson run, on your mark you better start I'd rather trust a hungry lion than a gal with a cheatin' heart
She was a demon, a devil in disguise He was taken by the angel in her eyes That lady barber was very well equipped You can bet your bottom dollar that he was gonna get clipped
Chorus
Oh Delilah made Sammy's life a sin And he perished when the roof fell in There's a moral so listen to me pal There's a little of Delilah in each and every gal
Chorus I'd rather trust a hungry lion than a gal with a cheatin' heart

Run Red Run Composer(s): Jerry Leiber; Mike Stoller Performer(s): The Coasters; Fitzgerald & Beach
Oh, Red went and bought himself a monkey Got him from a pawn shop broker Taught that monkey how to guzzle beer And he taught him out to play stud poker Last night when they were gambling in the kitchen The monkey he was taking a beating The monkey said Red, "I'm going to shoot you dead Because I know that well, you been a cheating"
Chorus: Well, run Red run, because he's got your gun And he's aiming it at your head Run Red run, because he's got your gun And he's aiming it at your head You better get up and wail You better move your tail before he fills it full of lead
Oh, Red jumped up and started to move like a P80-Saber Jet He zoomed around the corner, and he disappeared And everybody started to stare The race was on, you know the chase was on And Red he was all shook up But, let me tell you sport, don't sell that monkey short Because he's a travelling son of a gun
Repeat Chorus
Monkey trapped Red in a parking alot Down along the Avenue Monkey said, "Red, you've made a man out of me Now I'm going to make a monkey out of you Give me your car keys, give me your wallet Give it to me here, or I'll shoot Going to put on your brand new Stetson hat And go to town in your new brown suit"
