Mistletoe And Wine Composer(s): Jeremy Paul; Leslie Stewart; Keith Strachan Performer(s): Cliff Richard
The child is a King, the Carollers sing The old has passed, there's a new beginning Dreams of Santa, dreams of snow Fingers numb, faces aglow
Christmas time, Mistletoe and Wine Children singing Christian rhyme With logs on the fire and gifts on the tree A time for rejoicing in all that we see
A time for living, a time for believing A time for trusting, not deceiving Love and laughter and joy ever after Ours for the taking, just follow the master
Christmas time, Mistletoe and Wine Children singing Christian rhyme With logs on the fire and gifts on the tree A time for rejoicing in all that we see
A time for giving, a time for getting A time for forgiving and for forgetting Christmas is love, Christmas is peace A time for hating and fighting to cease
Christmas time, Mistletoe and Wine Children singing Christian rhyme With logs on the fire and gifts on the tree A time for rejoicing in all that we see
Satan's Jeweled Crown Composer(s): Edgar L. Eden Performer(s): Emmylou Harris
Now if I were a queen and a ruler of nations With diamonds and jewels profound Well, I'd rather know that I had salvation Than to know my reward Would be Satan's jewel crown
I've worm it so long but God for my Soul has reached down His love set me free He made me His own, and helped me cast off Satan's jewel crown
Oh, the life that I live so sinful and needless Drinkin' and runnin' around All the things that I do for the love of the devil I know my reward Will be Satan's jewel crown
Satan's jewel crown I've worn it so long But God for my soul has reached down His love set me free He made me His own, and helped me cast off Satan's jewel crown
Satanée Question Composer(s): Nicolas Peyrac Performer(s): Nicolas Peyrac
Quand elle me demande si je l'aime Satanée question Quel que soit le jour de la semaine Moi toujours je réponds T'as pas de soucis à te faire Tant que tu protégeras tes mystères Je croirais encore aux chimères Qui se cachent au fond de l'amour
Alors elle fait la gueule pendant deux ou trois jours Et la porte se ferme on ne fait plus l'amour Elle redevient petite fille, se cache quand elle se déshabille Un jour elle m'a même dit Vous, que voulez-vous, vous êtes fou Avec vos mains que se posent partout Alors j'ai fait la gueule pendant deux ou trois ans Mais voilà qu'à présent
Quand elle me demande si je l'aime Satanée question Quel que soit le jour de la semaine Moi toujours je réponds T'as pas de soucis à te faire Tant que tu ne seras pas une lumière Je goûterai aux plaisirs de ta chair Histoire de ne pas devenir sourd
Alors elle fait la gueule pendant deux ou trois jours Et pendant ce temps là je m'en vais faire un tour Je m'en vais revoir Valentine Elle me raconte les amours de Chine Un jour elle m'a même dit Toi, tu sais que toi, j'sais pas pourquoi Je t'aime tant que j'en miaule de joie Alors j'ai fait l'amour pendant deux ou trois ans Mais voilà qu'à présent
Quand elle me demande si je l'aime Satanée question Quel que soit le jour de la semaine Moi toujours je réponds T'as pas de soucis à te faire Tant que j'aimerais pas l'Angleterre Je ne repartirais pas Outre-mer Histoire de partir faire un tour
Satan Can't Hold Me Composer(s): Orville Stevens Performer(s): Jim Reeves
When the trumpet has sounded and at Judgement we stand And the Lord up in Heaven takes you by the hand If for things I've done wrong, I am sent down below Satan can't hold me, this much I know
Satan can't hold me, nobody can Angel or devil, spirit or man Through the valleys of darkness I'll come to your side Your love my beacon, my love my guide
I will climb over mountains, fly up in the blue I'll swim every river that keeps me from you Till that wonderful day we're together again Satan can't hold me, true love must win
Satan can't hold me, nobody can Angel or devil, spirit or man Through the valleys of darkness I'll come to your side Your love my beacon, my love my guide
Miss Fogarty's Christmas Cake
(Traditional)
Performer(s): The Irish Rovers
As I sat in my window last evening
The letterman brought it to me
A little gilt-edged invitation sayin'
"Gilhooley come over to tea"
I knew that the Fogarties sent it
So I went just for old friendship's sake
The first thing they gave me to tackle
Was a slice of Miss Fogarty's cake
There were plums and prunes and cherries
There were citrons and raisins and cinnamon, too
There was nutmeg, cloves and berries
And a crust that was nailed on with glue
There were caraway seeds in abundance
Such that work up a fine stomach ache
That could kill a man twice after eating a slice
Of Miss Fogarty's Christmas cake
Miss Mulligan wanted to try it
But really it wasn't no use
For we worked in it over an hour
And we couldn't get none of it loose
Till Murphy came in with a hatchet
And Kelly came in with a saw
That cake was enough be the powers above
For to paralyze any man's jaws
Miss Fogarty proud as a peacock
Kept smiling and blinking away
Till she flipped over Flanagans brogans
And she spilt the homebrew in her tea
Aye Gilhooley she says you're not eatin'
Try a little bit more for me sake
And no Miss Fogarty says I
For I've had quite enough of your cake
Maloney was took with the colic
O'Donald's a pain in his head
Mc'Naughton lay down on the sofa
And he swore that he wished he was dead
Miss Bailey went into hysterics
And there she did wriggle and shake
And everyone swore they were poisoned
Just from eating Miss Fogarty's cake
Sasha, Sissí y el Círculo de Baba Composer(s): Fito Páez Performer(s): Fito Páez
Pensar que no dijo nada la mañana que lo vi pensar que el amaba tanto a su divina Sissi baje el callejón con calma, mas no pude resistir entonces rece por Sasha por su amada y por mi
Reptar, reptar, en horas de la siesta cambiar, cambiar las leyes del amar Sissi lo volvió loco en una fiesta y no volvió a tocarlo nunca mas
entonces penso en un arma, en matarla y en huir lloro y escribió su réquiem para Sasha y Sissi no hizo mas que esperarla, la beso y durmió al llegar y trazo un circulo de baba con un medical style
y no dejo que nunca mas sufriera Sissi murió hambre y vanidad amar, amar y tuvo muerte lenta así el meo tres veces mis zapatos y llego hasta el bar...
Simplemente fue lo que paso bajo esta luz Sasha prendió un faso y se sentó pito ese cigarrillo hasta explotar

My Sarie Marais is so ver van my hart Maar'k hoop om haar weer te sien Sy het in die wyk van die Mooi Rivier gewoon Nog voor die oorlog het begin
O bring my trug na die ou Transvaal Daar waar my Sarie woon Daar onder in die mielies By die groen doringboom Daar woon my Sarie Marais Daar waar my Sarie woon Daar onder in die mielies By die groen doringboom Daar woon my Sarie Marais
Ek was so bang dat die Kakies my sou vang En ver oor die see wegstuur Toe vlug ek na die kant van die Upington se sand Daar onder langs die Grootrivier Refrein Die Kakies is mos net soos 'n krokodille pes Hulle sleep jou altyd water toe Hul gooi jou op n skip vir 'n lange, lange trip Die josie weet waarnatoe
O bring my trug na die ou Transvaal Daar waar my Sarie woon Daar onder in die mielies By die groen doringboom Daar woon my Sarie Marais Daar waar my Sarie woon Daar onder in die mielies By die groen doringboom Daar woon my Sarie Marais
Verlossing die kom en die huis toe gaan was daar Terug na die ou Transvaal My lieflingspersoon sal seker ook daar wees Om my met 'n kus te beloon
O bring my trug na die ou Transvaal Daar waar my Sarie woon Daar onder in die mielies By die groen doringboom Daar woon my Sarie Marais Daar waar my Sarie woon Daar onder in die mielies By die groen doringboom Daar woon my Sarie Marais

Minuit, chrétiens C'est l'heure solennelle Où l'Homme Dieu descendit jusqu'à nous Pour effacer la tache originelle Et de son père arrêter le courroux Le mode entier tressaille d'espérance En cette nuit qui lui donne un sauveur Peuple à genoux Attends ta délivrance! Noël! Noël! Voici le Rédempteur! Noël! Noël! Voici le Rédempteur!
Le rédempteur A brisé toute entrave La terre est libre Et le ciel est ouvert Il voit un frère Où n'était qu'un esclave L'amour unit ceux qu'enchaînait le fer Qui lui dira notre reconnaissance? C'est pour nous tous qu'il naît Qu'il souffre et meurt Peuple debout Chante ta délivrance! Noël! Noël! Chantons le Rédempteur! Noël! Noël! Chantons le Rédempteur!
Sarbacane Composer(s): Francis Cabrel First release by: Francis Cabrel - 1989 Covered by: Johnny Hallyday - 2007
On croyait savoir tout sur l'amour Depuis toujours Nos corps par cur et nos curs au chaud Dans le velours Et puis te voilà bout de femme Comme soufflée d'une sarbacane La ciel a même un autre éclat Depuis toi
Les hommes poursuivent ce temps Qui court depuis toujours Voilà que t'arrives Et que tout s'éclaire sur mon parcours Pendue à mon cou comme une liane Comme le roseau de la sarbacane Le ciel s'est ouvert par endroits Depuis toi
Pas besoin de phrases ni de longs discours Ça change tout dedans, ça change tout autour Finis les matins paupières en panne Lourdes comme les bouteilles de butane J'ai presque plus ma tête à moi Depuis toi
Pas besoin de faire de trop longs discours Ça change tout dedans, ça change tout autour Pourvu que jamais tu ne t'éloignes Plus loin qu'un jet de sarbacane J'ai presque plus ma tête à moi Depuis toi
Alors te voilà bout de femme Comme soufflée d'une sarbacane Le ciel s'est ouvert par endroits Depuis toi Oh depuis toi...
Oh, come with me Where the moonbeams Light up the skies Shine in your eyes Where we belong Aaaaaahhhhhhhhh Pagan love song South Sea islands I hear them call To you, my all And now I sing Tah-dah-dah-lah-dah-lah-dah-lah Tah-dah-dah-lah-dah-lah-dah-laaaaaaaaaaaaah

Sarah´s lonely reflection close to making connections She´s running away Sarah´s hiding rejection She dreams of nothing but deception a brighter new day
Sarah´s at the window pretending not to cry staring at a rainbow and clouds that pass her by
No one knows her pain Her tears are lost behind the rain Secrets of the heart She says they´re a part of the price of love
It´s no surprise after all the lies that something´s died in Sarah´s sad blue eyes Yeah Sarah, sweeter than morning hold on, another day is dawning It´s a brighter new day
Sarah´s at the window although her eyes are red promising tomorrow to the demons in her head

Sarah In The Summer Composer(s): Jimmy Ibbotson Performer(s): The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band; Wild Jimbos
I've driven this road as a stranger I've driven this road as a friend I've driven this road as a slack-jawed tourist And I'm drivin' on it once again It might be cold and long and lonely But she's waitin' on the other side And I'm an hour closer to Sarah in the summer And joyfully I ride Joyfully I ride
And I've climbed through Georgetown, to Silver Plume The tunnel at Loveland's cold The lake on the left is a little lower Route 9 is the Breckenridge road There's a sign right below Copper Mountain Tellin' whether Independence runs free And I'm an hour closer to Sarah in the summer And that's where I wanna be That's where I wanna be
In the evening shadow of Red Butte Up the lane from the Slaughter House Bridge The first cabin the moonlight strikes As it crests the cleft in Hunter Crick Ridge Up from between Old Red and Smuggler Rising high on a piano bench there And I'm an hour closer to Sarah in the summer And what lies between beware What lies between, beware
Oh, when the red sandstone sentinels Rising high on either side As I follow the Eagle Valley Through the canyon where the Saints reside
In Mt. Snowmass' massive majesty south And east out of Glennywood Springs And I'm an hour closer to Sarah in the summer Where the Roaring River sings The Roaring River sings
I've driven this road as a stranger I've driven this road as a friend I've driven this road as a slack-jawed tourist And I'm drivin' on it once again It might be cold and long and lonely But she's waitin' on the other side And I'm an hour closer to Sarah in the summer And joyfully I ride Joyfully I ride
