Thru These Walls Composer(s): Phil Collins Performer(s): Phil Collins
I can hear through these walls I can hear it when they're fooling around I can hear through these walls And I hear every sign, every sound I can hear through these walls In the dark with the shades pulled down Every word that they say Every noise they make feels it's coming my way My favourite moment Putting the glass up next to the wall Imagination Though I see nothing, I hear it all Putting my sign up Do not disturb me, speak or shout, inside out Oh mind my clothes, they're all laid out I can see through my windows I can see the girls and the boys I can see through my windows And I can imagine the noise I can see through my windows I can see them playing with toys Oh I hope it won't end If I promise not to touch, just be a friend Life is so lonely I don't get high off just being me I like pretending Wanting to touch them, wanting to see It's only normal Creeping behind you, now don't shout, 'cause it's alright They keep the windows locked and the door shut tight Oo I'm feeling like I'm locked in a cage No way in, no way out, and it gets so lonely Am I really asking a lot Just to reach out and touch somebody 'Cause when I look through my windows or open my door I can feel it all around me I can hear through these walls I can hear it when they're fooling around I can hear through these walls And I hear every sight, every sound I can hear through these walls In the dark with the shades pulled down Every word that they say Every noise they make feels it's coming my way
Cuando Tú No Estás Composer(s): Mario Battistella - Carlos Gardel - M. Lattes - Alfredo Le Pera Performer(s): Carlos Gardel and multiple other artists
Solo en las rutas de mi destino sin el amparo de tu mirar soy como un ave que en el camino rompió las cuerdas de su cantar
Cuando no estás, la flor no perfuma si tú te vas, me envuelve la bruma El zorzal, la fuente y las estrellas pierden para mí su seducción Cuando no estás, muere mi esperanza si tú te vas, se va mi ilusión ¡Oye mi lamento, que confío al viento todo el dolor cuando tú no estás!
Nace la aurora resplandeciente clara mañana, bello rosal brilla la estrella, canta la fuente ríe la vida porque tú estás
(I've Got To) Stop Thinkin' 'Bout That Composer(s): Danny Kortchmar; James Taylor Performer(s): James Taylor; Coastline Band
I like to think about the time I met you Living with your people down in New Orleans Mad at your mama cause she'd never let you Ride in no nasty limousine Later on the levee with the moon up above I lost my heart and confessed my love Oh Lucy, God have mercy I've got to stop thinkin' 'bout that
One Summer night in a field of wheat God's sweet lanterns hanging in the sky Moving light on your tiny feet I knew I had to love you till the day I die They talk about Amazing Grace It meant something when I saw your face Oh Lucy, God have mercy I've got to stop thinkin' 'bout that
I think of all the little things that I never told you I think I may get to hold you someday It's my brain just like a man possessed I can't do me no work, I can't get me no rest I can't understand it baby
Don't like to think about the way it ended I hate remembering the things that I said I dream a dream of love so splendid I wake up hard in an empty bed I wonder who'll be loving you next Some fool will be writing bad checks Oh now Lucy, God have mercy I've got to stop thinkin' 'bout you
Through The Years Composer(s): Steve Dorff - Marty Panzer Performer(s): Kenny Rogers
I can't remember when you weren't there When I didn't care for anyone but you I swear we've been through everything there is Can't imagine anything we've missed Can't imagine anything the two of us can't do
Through the years You've never let me down You turned my life around The sweetest days I've found I've found with you Through the years I've never been afraid I've loved the life we've made And I'm so glad I've stayed Right here with you Through the years
I can't remember what I used to do Who I trusted whom, I listened to before I swear you've taught me everything I know Can't imagine needing someone so But through the years it seems to me I need you more and more
Through the years Through all the good and bad I knew how much we had I've always been so glad To be with you Through the years It's better everyday You've kissed my tears away As long as it's okay I'll stay with you Through the years
Through the years When everything went wrong Together we were strong I know that I belonged Right here with you Through the years I never had a doubt We'd always work things out I've learned what love's about By loving you Through the years
Through the years It's better everyday You've kissed my tears away As long as it's okay I'll stay with you Through the years
(I've Been) Searchin' So Long Composer(s): James Pankow Performer(s): Chicago
As my life goes on I believe Somehow something's changed Something deep inside Ooh a part of me
There's a strange new light in my eyes Things I've never known Changin' my life Changin' me

Searching Don't you know I'm hell yeah For an answer to the question Oh yeah For our minds baby Baby it's true It's only natural It's only natural baby, yeah Good things in life Take a long time
Cuando Tenga Mil Años Composer(s): Manuel Alejandro Performer(s): Raphael
Cuando tenga mil años Yo aprendere a tener mas cuidado con el amor
Cuando haya vivido Cuando haya sufrido Cuando haya perdido Mil veces mas Es posible que empiece a saber de amor Un poco mas
Todos pretenden saber Todos pretenden hablar Y nadie lo entiende, nadie No sabe nadie lo que es amor Unos diran que es azul Otros que es algo infernal Y nadie lo entiende, nadie No sabe nadie lo que es amor
Cuando tenga mil años Caminare y tan solo mirando conquistare A la mujer
Cuando haya vivido Cuando haya sufrido Cuando tenga mil años Descubrire la manera mas facil para triunfar En el amor
(It's) Wonderful To Be Young From "Wonderful To Be Young"; "The Young Ones" Composer(s): Burt Bacharach; Hal David Performer(s): Cliff Richard
It's wonderful to be young In love with life If life's a mystery, who cares As long as I have you Our love will always see us through
It's wonderful to be young No doubts, no fears If everything goes wrong we laugh And make a brand new start Our love will never let us part
Who can tell what lies ahead Or where the fates will lead me I'll come through if I have you To want and need me
It's wonderful to be young In love with life And life is wonderful because You've promised to be mine For now and till the end of time
Who can tell what lies ahead Or where the fates will lead me I'll come through if I have you To want and need me
It's wonderful to be young In love with life And life is wonderful because You've promised to be mine For now and till the end of time It's, oh, so wonderful It's, oh, so wonderful
Thriller Composer(s): Rod Temperton First release by: Michael Jackson - 1982 Covered by multiple other artists
It's close to midnight and something evil's lurking in the dark Under the moonlight you see a sight that almost stops your heart You try to scream but terror takes the sound before you make it You start to freeze as horror looks you right between the eyes You're paralyzed
'Cause this is thriller, thriller night And no one's gonna save you from the beast about strike You know it's thriller, thriller night You're fighting for your life inside a killer, thriller tonight
You hear the door slam and realize there's nowhere left to run You feel the cold hand and wonder if you'll ever see the sun You close your eyes and hope that this is just imagination But all the while you hear the creature creepin' up behind You're out of time
'Cause this is thriller, thriller night There ain't no second chance against the thing with forty eyes You know it's thriller, thriller night You're fighting for your life inside of killer, thriller tonight
Night creatures call And the dead start to walk in their masquerade There's no escapin' the jaws of the alien this time (They're open wide) This is the end of your life
They're out to get you, there's demons closing in on every side They will possess you unless you change the number on your dial Now is the time for you and I to cuddle close together All thru the night I'll save you from the terror on the screen I'll make you see
That this is thriller, thriller night 'Cause I can thrill you more than any ghost would dare to try Girl, this is thriller, thriller night So let me hold you tight and share a killer, diller, chiller Thriller here tonight
(Rap performed by Vincent Price) Darkness falls across the land The midnite hour is close at hand Creatures crawl in search of blood To terrorize y'awl's neighbourhood And whosoever shall be found Without the soul for getting down Must stand and face the hounds of hell And rot inside a corpse's shell The foulest stench is in the air The funk of forty thousand years And grizzy ghouls from every tomb Are closing in to seal your doom And though you fight to stay alive Your body starts to shiver For no mere mortal can resist The evil of the thriller
Me miras y no me dices nada Tan solo te sonries y te marchas Y luego despierto como siempre Perdido entre la espuma de mi cama A veces mi sueño es de colores Y entonces apareces Perdida entre las flores del jardin Y corro hacia tu lado pero tu te has ido Como ayer
Ayer Que lejos va quedando Y que cerca a la vez Que vuelve cada dia Y me lleva con el Y tras cualquier esquina Me espera
Ayer Que fue pasando el tiempo Y nunca se fue Que nace cada dia En el corazon Y llena de recuerdos Las horas
Me miras y trato de abrazarte Y entonces tu te escapas de mis manos Te hablo y no respondes nada Tan solo te sonries y te marchas A veces mi sueño es un poema Y entonces apareces Perdida entre las lineas del papel Y trato de atraparte pero tu te has ido Como ayer
(It's The Way) Nature Planned It Composer(s): Pam Sawyer; Frank Wilson Performer(s): The Four Tops; Ken Boothe
Baby, don't fight it My lovin', baby (backing na-na-na's)
Do you know how long I'm dreamin' Of a reason it grows? You may ask me all these questions But darling, no one knows It should be clear, I really love you Don't ask me why; I just do Do you ask the Lord who loves you? Why He makes the sky clear blue
(chorus) (It's the way, it's the way Nature planned it We were meant, we were meant to stay together It's the way, it's the way Nature planned it)
Oh don't ask me how long I'll love you When you're gone, my heart aches; I'll never never leave you Girl, all my life, for you I'd wait 'cause it's the way
(chorus)
Don't fight it, baby I'm jumpin' earth (backing na-na-na's) It should be clear, I really love you Don't ask me why; I just do 'Cause it's the way (it's the way, it's the way Nature planned it) Like the stars & the sky & the beautiful heaven
(It's the way, it's the way Nature planned it We were meant, we were meant to stay together) Oh oh yeah, do you know why it rains? (It's the way, it's the way Nature planned it) Something no one can explain (It's the way, it's the way Nature planned it) We were meant, we were meant to stay together Why does a flower grow? (It's the way, it's the way Nature planned it) Why does the river flow? (It's the way, it's the way Nature planned it) We were meant, we were meant, we were meant to stay together Why does it rain? (It's the way, it's the way Nature planned it) Why do I feel this way? (It's the way, it's the way Nature planned it) .... and fade
Do you feel what I feel What's happ'ning to us is a dream, but it's real I can feel the heat from the hot sun above Hand in hand we stand at the threshold of love
Far from the town there's no one around I'm touching your hair (Touching your hair) I touch your hair (Touching your hair) We're touching
Do you feel what I feel What's happ'ning to us is a dream, but it's real I can feel the heat from the hot sun above Hand in hand we stand at the threshold of love
Touching your lips (Playing with your hair) Playing with your hair (La-la-la-la-la) Laying in the fields at sunset Bah-bah-bah-bah-bah, bah-bah-bah-bah-bah-bah-bah-bah Bah-bah-bah-bah-bah, bah-bah-bah-bah-bah-bah-bah-bah
Soon the sun will appear In the dawn I'll be holding you near Touching dreams of the night gone away Where we stood at the threshold of love (Threshold of love) Threshold of love yesterday
Cuando Seas Grande Composer(s): Miguel Mateos Performer(s): Miguel Mateos and multiple other artists
Soy un chico de la calle camino la ciudad con mi guitarra sin molestar a nadie Voy cortando cadenas estoy creciendo contra la miseria y alguna que otra pena Pero pierdo el control llego a casa y escucho su voz siempre la misma canción
Nene, nene que vas a ser cuando seas grande Nene, nene que vas a ser cuando seas grande estrella de Rock'n Roll presidente de la nación nene, nene que vas a ser cuando alguien apriete el botón
Estoy casi condenado a tener éxito para no ser un perro fracasado así, así, así yo fui enseñado generaciones tras generaciones marchan a mi lado Yo solo quiero jugar soy el sueño de mamá y papá no, no les puedo fallar
Nene, nene que vas a ser cuando seas grande Nene, nene que vas a ser cuando seas grande estrella de Rock'n Roll presidente de la nación nene, nene que vas a ser cuando alguien apriete el botón
Nene, nene que vas a ser cuando seas grande Nene, nene que vas a ser cuando seas grande estrella de Rock'n Roll presidente de la nación nene, nene que vas a ser cuando alguien apriete el botón
Nene, nene que vas a ser cuando seas grande cuando seas grande
(It's A) Long Lonely Highway Composer(s): Doc Pomus; Mort Shuman Performer(s): Elvis Presley; Ingrid Lucia
It's a long lonely highway when you're travellin' all alone And it's a mean old world when you got no-one to call your own And you pass through towns too small to even have a name, oh yes But you gotta keep on goin', on that road to nowhere Gotta keep on goin', though there's no-one to care Just keep movin' down the line
It's a long lonely highway without her by my side And it's a trail full of teardrops that keep on being cried My heart's so heavy it's a low down dirty shame oh yes You gotta keep on goin', on that road to nowhere Gotta keep on goin', though there's no-one to care Just keep movin' down the line
I gotta rock for my pillow 'neath a weeping willow And the cool grass for my bed My drinking water's muddy so don't you tell me buddy That I wouldn't be better off dead It's a long lonely highway gettin' longer all the time And if she don't come and get me Well, I'm gonna lose my mind So if you read about me tell her she's the one to blame, oh yes You gotta keep on goin', on that road to nowhere Gotta keep on goin', though there's no-one to care Just keep movin' down the line Movin' down the line Movin' down the line
Three letters left a village bound for somewhere over there three letters to a lonesome soldier lad each one a loving story told each one was worth its weight in gold three messages that made his poor heart glad
Each word was like a soft caress that soothed his aching heart and drove away the misery and the pain then joy returned to take their place and brought a vision of each face as over and over he read their words again
For the first was just old fashioned, and it breathed a mother's prayer while the next one started "Darling, God protect you over there" and the third was filled with kisses, send to Daddy across the foam from his mother, wife and baby, three wonderful letters from home
Three Wheels On My Wagon Composer(s): Burt Bacharach - Bob Hilliard Performer(s): The New Christy Minstrels
Three wheels on my wagon And Im still rolling along The Cherokees are chasing me Arrows fly, right on by But Im singing a happy song
Im singing a higgity, haggity, hoggety, high Pioneers, they never say die A mile up the road theres a hidden cave And we can watch those Cherokees Go galloping by
George, theyre catching up to us! Get back in the wagon woman!
Two wheels on my wagon And Im still rolling along Them Cherokees are after me Flaming spears, burn my ears But Im singing a happy song
Im singing a higgity, haggity hoggety, high Pioneers, they never say die Half a mile up the road theres a hidden cave And we can watch those Cherokees Go galloping by
Duh, Paw? Are you sure this is the right road? Will you hush up? You and your maps!
One wheel on my wagon And Im still rolling along Them Cherokees after me Im all in flames, at the reins But Im singing a happy song
Im singing a higgity, haggity hoggety, high Pioneers, they never say die Right around that turn theres a hidden cave And we can watch those Cherokees Go galloping by
George? Should I get the bag of beads and trinkets? Woman, I know what Im doing!
No wheels on my wagon So Im not rolling along The Cherokees captured me They look mad, things look bad But Im singing a happy song
Cmon all you Cherokees sing along with me!
Higgity, haggity hoggety, high Pioneers, they never say die...
