I (Who Have Nothing) Composer(s): Jerry Leiber; Mike Stoller; Carlo Donida Performer(s): Ben E. King; and various other artists
I, I who have nothing I, I who have no one Adore you and want you so I'm just a no one with nothing to give you but, oh I love you
He, he buys you diamonds Bright, sparkling diamonds But, believe me, dear, when I say That he can give you the world but he'll never love the way I love you
He can take you any place he wants To fancy clubs and restaurants But I can only watch you with My nose pressed up against the window pane
I, I who have nothing I, I who have no one Must watch you go dancing by Wrapped in the arms of somebody else when, darling, it's I Who loves you
Throwing Stones Composer(s): Bob Weir - John Barlow Performer(s): Grateful Dead
Picture a bright blue ball just spinning, spinning free Dizzy with eternity Paint it with a skin of sky, brush in some clouds and sea Call it home for you and me
A peaceful place or so it looks from space A closer look reveals the human race Full of hope, full of grace, is the human face But afraid, we may our home to waste
There´s a fear down here we can´t forget hasn´t got a name just yet Always awake, always around singing ashes to ashes all fall down Now watch as the ball revolves and the nighttime calls And again the hunt begins and again the bloodwind calls By and by again, the morning sun will rise But the darkness never goes from some men´s eyes It strolls the sidewalks and it rolls the streets Stalking turf, dividing up meat Nightmare spook, piece of heat, you and me, you and me Click, flashblade in ghetto night Rudies looking for a fight Rat cat alley roll them bones Need that cash to feed that jones And the politicians throwing stones Singing ashes, ashes all fall down Commissars and pin-striped bosses role the dice Any way they fall guess who gets to pay the price Money green or proletarian gray, selling guns instead of food today So the kids they dance, they shake their bones While the politicians throwing stones Singing ashes, ashes all fall down Heartless powers try to tell us what to think If the spirit´s sleeping, then the flesh is ink History´s page, it is thusly carved in stone The future´s here, we are it, we are on our own If the game is lost then we´re all the same No one left to place or take the blame We will leave this place an empty stone Or this shinning ball of bule we can call our home So the kids they dance, they shake their bones While the politicians are throwing stones Singing ashes, ashes all fall down Shipping powders back and forth Singing ´black goes south while white comes north´ And the whole world full of petty wars Singing ´I got mine and you got yours´ And the current fashions set the pace Lose your step, fall out of grace And the radical he rant and rage Singing ´someone got to turn the page´ And the rich man in his summer home Singing ´Just leave well enough alone´ But his pants are down, his cover´s blown And the politicians are throwing stones So the kids they dance they shake their bones 'Cause it's all too clear we´re on our own Picture a bright blue ball just spinning, spinning free It´s dizzying, the possibilities Ashes, Ashes all fall down
Si me río es para que te rías si te amo es para que existas si te miro casi no puedo ni hablar si lo hago así de cualquier modo es que ya he perdido casi todo sólo tu polenta me podrá salvar
Cuando uno ama en serio ama fuera de la ley porque todo lo que hace es anormal y va bien Oh! nena, no ves, el mundo fue hecho al revés Oh! nena, no ves, el mundo fue hecho al revés
Si te escucho es para que sepas que comparto todos tus secretos si te guiño el ojo es para que avances Qué pasará conmigo si te esfumas quién volverá a usar mis pantalones quién limpiará mis discos y mi corazón
Cuando uno ama en serio ama fuera de la ley porque todo lo que hace es anormal y va bien Oh! nena, no ves, el mundo fue hecho al revés Oh! nena, no ves, el mundo fue hecho al revés
(I've Had The) Time Of My Life Composer(s): John DeNicola; Donald Markowitz; Franke Previte Performer(s): Bill Medley; and various other artists
Now I've had the time of my life No I never felt like this before Yes, I swear it's the truth And I owe it all to you 'Cause I've had the time of my life And I owe it all to you ... I've been waiting for so long Now I've finally found someone To stand by me
We saw the writing on the wall As we felt this magical fantasy Now with passion in our eyes There's no way we could disguise it secretely
So we take each other's hand 'Cause we seem to understand the urgency Just remember You're the one thing I can't get enough of So I'll tell you something This could be love Because ...
(chorus)
I've had the time of my life No I never felt this way before Yes, I swear it's the truth And I owe it all to you With my body and soul I want you more than you'll ever know So we'll just let it go
Don't be afraid to loose control. Yes I know what's on your mind When you say "Stay with me tonight. Just remember You're the one thing I can't get enough of So I'll tell you something This could be love Because ...
(chorus)
I've had the time of my life No I never felt this way before Yes, I swear it's the truth And I owe it all to you 'Cause I had the time of my life And I've searched through every open door Till I've found the truth And I owe it all to you
(chorus)
Now I've had the time of my life No I never felt this way before Yes, I swear it's the truth And I owe it all to you
(chorus)
I've had the time of my life No I never felt this way before Yes, I swear it's the truth And I owe it all to you 'Cause I've had the time of my life And I've searched through every open door Till I've found ...

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
I've been searchin' so long To find an answer Now I know my life has meaning Ow oh
Now I see myself as I am Feeling very free Life is everything Ooh it's meant to be When my tears have come to an end I will understand What I left behind Part of 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
