I'm The Fool In Love With The Fool Performer(s): Reba McEntire
You don't know me but I know who you are Mind if I sit down? Do I look familiar? If I don't well I see I'm sure you've seen me around I know you've probably heard my name Though we've not been introduced
I'm the fool in love with the fool Who's still in love with you
If you've got a minute I'll buy you a drink I've got something to say It might sound crazy But last night in his sleep I heard him call out your name This ain't the first time He's done it before And it's hard to face the truth
I'm the fool in love with the fool Who's still in love with you
I know love is a fragile thing But I'm trying hard to make it last But it ain't easy holding onto my dream When he's holding onto the past
Just one more thing before I go I'm not here to put you down You don't love him and that's a fact Girl I've seen you around But you hold his heart in the palm of you hands And it's breaking mine in two
Cos I'm the fool in love with the fool Who's still in love with you I'm the fool in love with the fool Who's still in love with you
Eyes Of The Girl Composer(s): Wang Chung Performer(s): Wang Chung
On her televison, on her mammas radio She could paint a picture More alive than all she ought to know Her imagination running wild, she let it grow In her imagination Oh she felt she loved him so
Chorus: The eyes of the girl are following me Looking for the man that she pinned on me The tears for a love that could never be Now its all over Theyre raining on me Oh its raining
Its an empty world with a lifetime on your hands Oh we must believe that Something someone somewhere understands Our imagination wants to capture what we feel In our imagination Everything is real
Repeat chorus
Tears fall from the eyes of the girl And the girl is watching me Tears fall from the eyes of the girl And the girl is watching me
Baby, please release me from the power of your mind Baby, please release me, leave this crazy scheme behind Baby, please release me Baby, please release me
Repeat chorus
Tears fall from the eyes of the girl And the girl is watching me
Eyes Of Love Composer(s): Bob Ezrin; Trevor Rabin Performer(s): Trevor Rabin
Are you waiting for your freedom Or a love you just don't know? I can see you through my window Did you know your feelings show? Are you looking towards the border? Hold out for something new
Does the white, bright, right and degradation Wear you down the way we want it to Calling on you for confirmation In a way that we feel is good for you
Chorus Eyes of love look! Down on me When you gonna see Eyes of love send down the key Will you deliver me
Are you searching for an answer? Are you questioning it all? I can reach you But I can't feel you Are you living in surrender Or just waiting for a call?
Does the white, bright, right and degradation Wear you down the way we want it to We will control the information In a way that we feel is good for you
Boy Toy (Adapted from: I'm The Boy - 1984) Composer(s): Serge Gainsbourg; Paul Ives, Boris Bergman Performer(s): Marc Almond & Trash Palace - 2006
A shadow within shadows Uncounted nights of sleaze A pointed, broken arrow To sting, to hurt, to please A mask within masks Pathetic and bitter Black leather's in to last Shining eyes lead to glitter I'm the boy who can enjoy invisibility I'm the boy who can enjoy invisibility I'm the boy, a see-through toy that no-one else can see A soul within souls Weakened from the fear A blade, a look, that's all
Takes two to get that near A man within manhood Back room without a view White nights long, black nights good Wounded knees for Soldier Blue I'm the boy who can enjoy invisibility I'm the boy who can enjoy invisibility I'm the boy, a see-through toy that no-one else can see A hooker amongst the whores On a rough ride to hell Where the big boys play ball While angels won't tell I'm the boy who can enjoy invisibility I'm the boy who can enjoy invisibility I'm the boy who can enjoy invisibility I'm the boy, a see-through toy that no-one else can see
Eyes Of Fire Composer(s): Ritchie Blackmore; Joe Lynn Turner; Bob Rondinelli Performer(s): Rainbow
Hungry and wild she was born to the night A demon, a daughter or madness One look from her eyes could burn you alive... Drown you in oceans of sadness Oh - even the deadly shades of night Won't let me hide...from her eyes of fire
Face in the mirror we meet eye to eye Passions of eternal fire Desperately wanting and out of control Dancing on winds of desire Oh - even the deadly shades of night Won't let me hide...from her eyes of fire
Curtain of darkness, screams of delight Taunts me with her sirens calling... I got to be strong but I can't hang on Into the flames I am falling... Oh - even the deadly shades of night Won't let me hide (no, no, no, no) from her eyes of fire...
She keeps burning... She keeps burning me, burning me Burning me, burning me down Eyes of fire
I'm Telling You Now Composer(s): Freddie Garrity; Mitch Murray Performer(s): Freddie & the Dreamers

I'm telling you now I'll say what you wanna hear I'll be telling you for many a year I'm in love with you now

I'm telling you now I know it's been said before Say you love me and I will be sure I'm in love with you now
I'm telling you now I'm telling you right away I'll be staying for many a day I'm in love with you now
Do you think I'm foolin' When I say "I love you" I love you Maybe you'll believe me When I'm finally through Through, through, through
I'm telling you now I know it's been said before Say you love me and I will be sure I'm in love with you now I'm in love with you now I'm telling you now
Eyes Of Blue Composer(s): Paul Carrack Performer(s): Paul Carrack
I want to know how does it feel Behind those eyes of blue Youve made your mistakes And now your heart aches Behind those eyes of blue
People may say youve had your chance And let it slip away But hard as they try Theres a dream that wont die Behind those eyes of blue
Maybe once in a while Theres a trace of a smile Behind those eyes of blue But its painfully clear Theres a river of tears Behind those eyes of blue
You know life is too short For comprimising Take a hold of your dream And realise it
You know theres nothing left To stand in your way Except yourself and I know Though your heart's full of pain That a hope still remains Behind those eyes of blue
I'm Tellin' The Birds, Tellin' The Bees (aka How I Love You) Composer(s): Lew Brown; Cliff Friend Performer(s): The Westerners and multiple other artists
Through fields of golden flowers Where we spent sunny hours I'm strolling along, thinking of you
I told the four leaf clover My lonesome days are over I talk about you all the day through
I'm tellin' the birds, tellin' the bees Tellin' the flowers, tellin' the trees How I love you
I'm tellin' the moon, tellin' the sun Tellin' the stars and tellin' each one How I love you
I feel so happy and I show it I want the whole wide world to know it
The shady old nook, the shadows that fall The little old brook, I'm tellin' them all How I love you
Tellin' the birds, tellin' the bees Tellin' the flowers and tellin' the trees How I love you
Tellin' the moon, tellin' the sun Tellin' the stars and tellin' each one How I love you
I feel so happy and I show it I want the whole wide world to know it
The shady old nook, the shadows that fall The little old brook, I'm tellin' them all How I love you

Eye Of The Zombie Composer(s): John C. Fogerty Performer(s): John C. Fogerty
Hoo! Oooooh!
Shadows on the mountain, and the night begins to fall Gather up the children, 'fore the darkness takes us all Tribe has come together, standin' naked against the night Twenty feet from the fire, the evil waits with zombie eyes
Chorus: Eye-eye-eye eye of the Zombie! Eye-eye-eye eye of the Zombie!
Oh! Sneakin' through the long grass on leopard feet silently A beast already dead comes to join the dance on the zombie Ooh! Time has come again - again the moment of truth The terror is at hand, and there's nothin' you can do
Chorus
Oh! Hoo! Aaa-aah! Hoo! Aaa-aaa-aaaah!
From out of nowhere he's there, flashing hideous teeth Panic in the crowd, helter-skelter, we're brought to our knees Back to the darkness, back on the mountain he stands You can't fight a shadow, you can't kill a dead man
I'm Stone In Love With You Composer(s): Thom Bell; Linda Creed Performer(s): Johnny Mathis
If I could I'd like to be, a great big movie star Overnight sensation; drive a big expensive car I would buy you everything your little heart desires These things I do, 'cause I'm stone in love with you (Stone in love with you)
If I were a businessman, I'd sit behind a desk I'd be so successful; I would scare Wall Street to death I would hold a meeting for the press to let them know I did it all, 'cause I'm stone in love with you (Stone in love with you)
I'm just a man, an average man doing everything the best I can But if I could, I'd give the world to you...
I'd like to someday be the owner of the first house on the moon There would be no neighbours, and no population boom You might say that all I do is dream my life away I guess it's true, 'cause I'm stone in love with you I guess it's true, 'cause I'm stone in love with you I guess it's true, 'cause I'm stone in love with you
Eye Of The Tiger Composer(s): Jim Peterik; Frank Sullivan Performer(s): Survivor; and various other artists
Risin' up, back on the street Took my time, took my chances Went the distance Now I'm back on my feet Just a man and his will to survive So many times, it happened too fast You trade your passion for glory Don't lose your grip on the dreams of the past You must fight just to keep them alive
* It's the eye of the tiger It's the thrill of the fight Risin' up to the challenge Of our rival And the last known survivor Stalks his prey in the night And his fortune must always be Eye of the tiger
Face to face, out in the heat Hangin' tough, stayin' hungry They stack the odds Still we take to the street Fot the kill with the skill to survive (Repeat *)
Risin' up straight to the top Had the guts, got the glory Went the distance Now I'm not gonna stop Just a man and his will to survive (Repeat *)
The eye of the tiger The eye of the tiger The eye of the tiger The eye of the tiger
I'm Still Waiting Here For You Composer(s): Paul Anka Performer(s): Paul Anka
(You didn't even say goodbye) So I sit here and I cry there's nothing left for me to do but I'm still waiting here for you
(You didn't even say you cared) Now my love in you is shared I don't know why you made me blue but I'm still waiting here for you
I will walk through the storm All my tears fell like the rain I will long & I will mourn Till you're back in my arms once again
(So darling, won't you hear my plea) And please return your love to me And then I will not be so blue And I'll no longer wait for you
(So darling, won't you hear my plea) Darling, hear my plea (Please return your love to me) Return your love to me And I will not be so blue And I'll no longer wait for you (You didn't even say goodbye)
Eye In The Sky Composer(s): Eric Woolfson; Alan Parsons Performer(s): The Alan Parsons Project; and various other artists
Don't think sorry's easily said Don't try turning tables instead You've taken lots of Chances before But I'm not gonna give anymore Don't ask me That's how it goes Cause part of me knows what you're thinkin'
Don't say words you're gonna regret Don't let the fire rush to your head I've heard the accusation before And I ain't gonna take any more Believe me The sun in your Eyes Made some of the lies worth believing
Chorus: I am the eye in the sky Looking at you I can read your mind I am the maker of rules Dealing with fools I can cheat you blind And I don't need to see any more To know that I can read your mind, I can read your mind
Don't leave false illusions behind Don't Cry cause I ain't chnaging my mind So find another fool like before Cause I ain't gonna live anymore believing Some of the lies while all of the Signs are deceiving
I'm Still Standing Composer(s): Elton John; Bernie Taupin First release by: Elton John - 1983 Covered by multiple other artists
You could never know what it's like Your blood like winter freezes just like ice And there's a cold lonely light that shines from you You'll wind up like the wreck you hide behind that mask you use
And did you think this fool could never win Well look at me, I'm coming back again I got a taste of love in a simple way And if you need to know while I'm still standing you just fade away
Don't you know I'm still standing better than I ever did Looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid I'm still standing after all this time Picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind
I'm still standing yeah yeah yeah I'm still standing yeah yeah yeah
Once I never could hope to win You starting down the road leaving me again The threats you made were meant to cut me down And if our love was just a circus you'd be a clown by now
Extremadura campo de toros heridos que no braman ¿Ocultarán el gemido de su garganta? Extremadura hombres que rezan a Dios para que llueva pero ¿quién les asegura la cosecha? Extremadura soledad llena de encinas sobre campos con veredas ¿por qué se fueron los hombres de sus tierras? Extremadura tierra de conquistadores que apenas te dieron nada Ay, mi Extremadura amarga Ay, mi Extremadura levántate y anda
Extranjera Composer(s): Miguel Gallardo Performer(s): Miguel Gallardo
Se fue de su pueblo un día hace tiempo ya, pensando volver llevaba una maleta vieja y en el corazón, toda su niñez Igual que un ave viajera ella tuvo que emigrar buscando una vida nueva... Extranjera Llegó a un país lejano que le dio calor, y porvenir se enamoró de un muchacho que le dio su amor, y fue feliz Pero al pensar en su tierra siente ganas de llorar y quiere volver a ella... Extrajera Extranjera, extranjera aún te grita el corazón cuando suena una guitarra o alguien canta una canción, de tu país no lo puedes evitar... Extranjera Después llegaron los hijos y hubo que luchar, y hacerlos crecer y así pasaron los años sin dejarla ya, poder volver Pero va al mar y aunque calle su alma vuelve a recordar cuando era niña en su playa... Extranjera Extranjera, extranjera aún te sientes en la piel cuando te hablan de la tierra que una vez te vio nacer, lejos de aquí no lo puedes evitar... Extranjera Extranjera, extranjera aún te grita el corazón cuando suena una guitarra o alguien canta una canción, de tu país no lo puedes evitar... Extranjera Se fue de su pueblo un día hace tiempo ya, pensando volver
