Angel In Disguise Composer(s): Earl Thomas Conley; Randy Scruggs Performer(s): Earl Thomas Conley
You were just another pretty face in the crowd I was just hangin' out I wasn't ready for love when I looked in your eyes You took me by surprise You weren't supposed to say that you loved me You were just gonna stay for the night I never held a hand that could touch me And leave me with stars in my eyes
Oh angel in disguise You're just an angel in disguise
Almost made it too easy for me to believe That love could happen to me But you're not afraid to show me how much you care And prove your heart is there You weren't supposed to say that you loved me You were just gonna spend the night I never held a hand that could touch me And leave me with stars in my eyes
Oh angel in disguise You're just an angel in disguise
Oh angel in disguise You're just an angel in disguise
Painted, Tainted Rose Composer(s): Jean Sawyer; Peter DeAngelis Performer(s): Al Martino
She was a wild and lovely rose Oh, how I loved her, heaven knows But though my heart was true, it would never do Party life was what she chose
Last night I saw my lovely rose All painted up in fancy clothes Her eyes have lost their spark, the years have left their mark She's just a painted, tainted rose
She was a wild and lovely rose come on
She was a wild and lovely rose
Oh, how I loved her, heaven knows
Oh, how I loved her, heaven knows But though my heart was true, it would never do Party life was what she chose
Last night I saw my lovely Rose
Last night I saw my lovely Rose
All painted up in fancy clothes
All painted up in fancy clothes Her eyes have lost their spark, the years have left their mark She's just a
She's just a
Si Seco Un Llanto Composer(s): Silvio Rodríguez Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez
Un día, junto al mar la más triste canción oyó llorar a un alma su dolor y a por el alma fue vibrando la tonada conmovida y gentil maravillada
¿Qué pena lloras tú -le dijo la canción- que me has trocado en gracia el corazón?
¿De qué me sirve a mí -le respondió un sollozo- la virtud, si no tengo un canto hermoso?
Sospecho que hoy empiezo a ser canción Y tengo la impresión de que seré tu sol si logro ser tu canto Sospecho que hoy empiezo a ser canción si seco un llanto
Un día, junto al mar un alma halló su voz y una tonada hallaba su razón Fue el día en que nació la verdad hechizada la melodía y el alma enamoradas
El alma con canción iluminó su hogar y la canción con alma echó a volar Desde entonces las dos vivieron más despacio a pesar de su tiempo y de su espacio
Sospecho que hoy empiezo a ser canción Y tengo la impresión de que seré tu sol si logro ser tu canto Sospecho que hoy empiezo a ser canción si seco un llanto
Painted From Memory Composer(s): Burt Bacharach; Elvis Costello Performer(s): Elvis Costello; and various other artists
Such a picture of loveliness Didn't you notice the resemblance? Doesn't it look like she could speak? Those eyes I tried to capture They are lost to me now forever They smile for someone else
Funny, how looks can be deceiving But she's not easily Painted from memory
You'd think that I would know by now Those eyes I trIed to capture They are lost to me now forever They smile for someone else
And so this had to be Painted from memory
She is gone, and I must accept it She is lost to me now But I can't look away just yet though She smiles for someone else
Atlanta Georgia Stray Composer(s): Chris Gantry Performer(s): Kenny Price and multiple other artists
On the Greyhound bus trip home I was feelin' all alone When a long haired gal sat down next to me She said she was Atlanta bound kill some time maybe kick around 'Cause it sounded like a friendly place to be From Chicago to Kentucky we just talked awhile And somewhere along the way I was captured by her smile But why I left the bus in Nashville has been a mystery till today 'Cause for two years I've been tracking down that Atlanta Georgia stray
Well she said all living things have a secret pair of wings And I'm of the lucky ones who learned to fly Though I don't even know your name I can tell we're much the same 'Cause you've got that faraway look in your eyes Right then I knew I'd found what I've been searching for And by the tears that filled her eyes she felt the same I'm almost sure But why I left the bus in Nashville has been a mystery till today 'Cause for two years I've been tracking down that Atlanta Georgia stray
Well I'm flat broke once again I haven't eaten in God knows when And the weather is a-showing signs of rain I gotta make it in the town hit the clubs and ask around Even though the answers all will be the same Well I walked a mile for everyone I'd spoken to And up to now I haven't come across one little single clue 'Cause when I left the bus in Nashville well it was my fateful day 'Cause for two years I've been tracking down that Atlanta Georgia stray (That Atlanta Georgia stray Atlanta Georgia stray)
Paint The Town Beige Composer(s): Robert Earl Keen Jr. Performer(s): Robert Earl Keen Jr.; Bill & Bonnie Hearne; Walt Wilkins
I gave up the fast lane for a blacktop county road Just burned out on all that talk about the motherlode I traded for a songbird and a bigger piece of sky When I miss the good old days I can't imagine why
Chorus: Still I get restless and drive into town I cruise once down Main Street and turn back around It's crazy but God knows I don't act my age like an old desperado who paints the town beige
Down along the river and past the swimming hole you can find your piece of mind with just a fishin' pole And you can walk the river for miles and miles on end and never stop believin' in that dream around the bend
Chorus: Still I get restless and drive into town my radio playin' my window rolled down It's crazy but God knows I don't act my age like an old desperado who paints the town beige
Deep down in the winter time slows to a crawl There's really nothin' much to do until the first spring thaw It's then I get to thinkin' I must have gone insane Memories roll through my mind like a long slow railroad train
Chorus: Still I get restless and drive into town watch the world through a windshield as it all comes unwound It's crazy but God knows I don't act my age like an old desperado who paints the town beige

Blue Love (In My Heart) Composer(s): Floyd Jenkins; Fred Rose Performer(s): Hank Williams and multiple other artists
I've got a blue love in my heart What can I do, love, with my heart? It's got a burnin', yearnin' while we're apart I've got a blue love in my heart
So blue the nights, so blue the days Why don't you write to me and say
You've got a true love in your heart And I'll come through, love, in your heart And stop this burnin', yearnin' while we're apart I've got a blue love in my heart
I've got an old flame in my heart A solid gold flame in my heart I'm like a weepin' willow while we're apart I've got a blue love in my heart
What can I do, where can I go? I never knew I loved you so
I've got a blue love in my heart What can I do, love, with my heart? I'm like a weepin' willow while we're apart I've got a blue love in my heart
Paint It Black Composer(s): Mick Jagger; Keith Richards Performer(s): The Rolling Stones; and various other artists
I see a red door and I want it painted black No colours anymore, I want them to turn back I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes I have to turn my head until my darkness goes
I see a line of cars and they're all painted black With flowers and my love, both never to come back I see people turn their heads and quickly look away Like a newborn baby it just happens ev'ryday
I look inside myself and see my heart is black I see my red door and I must have it painted black Maybe then I'll fade away and not have to face the facts It's not easy facing up when your whole world is black
No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue I could not forsee this thing happening to you If I look hard enough into the setting sun My love will laugh with me before the morning comes
I see a red door and I want it painted black No colours anymore I want them to turn back I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes I have to turn my head until my darkness goes
I wanna see your face painted black, black as night, black as coal Don't wanna see the sun, flying high in the sky I wanna see it painted, painted, painted, painted black, yea

Si On L'faisait Faire Performer(s): André Bourvil & Pierrette Bruno

Pahjamah Composer(s): Frank H. Warren; S.R. Henry; D. Onivas
In a sweetly perfumed spot where only desert moonbeams creep Pahjamah's heart is waking is waking from its sleep with the beat of tom-tom-tom-tom-tom across the burning sand so softly played She hears her lover's tinkling his tinkling serenade
In her dreams Pahjamah hurries to her love at break of day Together they are riding, they're riding far away In the cool of evening while the camels rest within a welcome jungle glade She listens to his tinkling, his tinkling serenade
Come, come to my balmy bungalow Come with me, Pahjamah, to the jungle oh Love's oasis, a quiet resting place is my camels wait within the palace gate Out there, where desert breezes sigh for you A thousand slaves will gladly live and die for you Come, Pahjamah! my pretty, pink Pahjamah! Arise, arise, the sun is in the skies!
Comanche (The Brave Horse) Composer(s): Johnny Horton; Francis Bandy Performer(s): Johnny Horton
The battle was o'er at Custer's last stand And taps were sounding for all the brave men While one lone survivor, wounded and weak Comanche, the Brave Horse lay at the General's feet
Comanche you fought hard, Comanche you tried You were a good soldier, so hold your head up high For even the greatest sometimes must fall Comanche, the Brave Horse, you gave your all
Though you are silent, your deeds did speak loud If your buddies could see you, I know they'd be proud The symbol of bravery at the Little Big Horn Poor old Comanche, you're battle scarred and torn
Comanche you fought hard, Comanche you tried You were a good soldier, so hold your head up high For even the greatest sometimes must fall Comanche, the Brave Horse, you gave your all
Comanche you fought hard, Comanche you tried You were a good soldier, so hold your head up high For even the greatest sometimes must fall Comanche, the Brave Horse, you gave your all
Página En Blanco Composer(s): Bony Villaseñor Performer(s): Javier Solís
Adiós felicidad iré cantando ¿por qué? porque se fue la prenda mía más nunca lloraré en la lejanía No quiero entristecerla con mi llanto Adiós felicidad iré cantando el tiempo me mostró su corazón la página del álbum quedó en blanco no tengo ni siquiera su perdón
No supe comprender aquél cariño no supe conquistar su corazón las horas se pasaban sin pensarlo y el tiempo es lo que cuenta en el amor
Adiós felicidad iré cantando el tiempo me mostró su corazón la página del álbum quedó en blanco no tengo ni siquiera su perdón
No supe comprender aquél cariño no supe conquistar su corazón las horas se pasaban sin pensarlo y el tiempo es lo que cuenta en el amor
Adiós felicidad iré cantando el tiempo me mostró su corazón la página del álbum quedó en blanco no tengo ni siquiera su perdón no tengo ni siquiera su perdón
Si On Chantait (Dutch Version: Oh, Wat Een Dag - 1974) Composer(s): Étienne Roda-Gil; Julien Clerc First release by: Julien Clerc - 1972
La grande ville Mange la ville La grande vie Mange la vie...
Marie si belle Marie vaisselle Marie chandelle Plume d'hirondelle... Fleur sans colline Pleur en cuisine Marie sans fard Fleur de brouillard...
Si on chantait... Si on chantait Si on chantait Marie dìvine, si on chantait...
Ce qui me peine N'est pas que je t'aime Le temps se lasse Le cur efface Parmi les femmes Pourquoi le taire Celles qui te ressemblent Je les préfère...
Marie divine Sans mousseline Dans ta cuisine Je t'imagine...
Si on chantait... Si on chantait Si on chantait Marie dìvine, si on chantait...

Deux et deux quatre quatre et quatre huit huit et huit font seize... Répétez! dit le maître Deux et deux quatre quatre et quatre huit huit et huit font seize Mais voilà l'oiseau-lyre qui passe dans le ciel l'enfant le voit l'enfant l'entend l'enfant l'appelle Sauve-moi Joue avec moi oiseau! Alors l'oiseau descend et joue avec l'enfant Deux et deux quatre... Répétez! dit le maître et l'enfant joue l'oiseau joue avec lui... Quatre et quatre huit huit et huit font seize et seize et seize qu'est-ce qu'ils font? Ils ne font rien seize et seize et surtout pas trente deux de toute façon et ils s'en vont Et l'enfant a caché l'oiseau dans son pupitre et tous les enfants entendent sa chanson et tous les enfants entendent la musique et huit et huit à leur tour s'en vont et quatre et quatre et deux et deux à leur tour fiche le camp et un et un ne font ni une ni deux un à un s'en vont également Et l'oiseau-lyre joue et l'enfant chante et le professeur crie Quand vous aurez fini de faire le pitre!
Mais tous les autres enfants écoutent la musique et les murs de la classe s'écoulent tranquillement Et les vitres redeviennent sable L'encre redevient eau Les pupitres redeviennent arbres La craie redevient falaise Le porte-plume redevient oiseau
