Say wonderful things to me, I think you're wonderful too Say wonderful things to me, especially 'I love you' They say I was living before we met All of my yesterdays I forget Now you are the one that I'm living for And each day I love you more So you must say wonderful things to me, I think you're wonderful too Say wonderful things to me, especially 'I love you' The more that I love you, the more it seems People should always believe in dreams Now all of my dreams I'm dreaming of you And someday they'll all come true So you must say wonderful things to me, I think you're wonderful too Say wonderful things to me, especially 'I love you' I'll never hurt you or make you cry Love will grow stronger as years go by Forever you'll be the one girl for me I'll love you until I die So you must say wonderful things to me, I think you're wonderful too Say wonderful things to me, especially 'I love you' (Say wonderful things)
Pastora Do Tempo Composer(s): Ednardo Performer(s): Raimundo Fagner
O cavaleiro do medo Usa do ouro a razão Pra ofuscar os meus olhos E confundir minha emoção
Não sabe que a luz que me guia É da estrela que irradia A linda Pastora do Tempo Que guarda o meu povo eterno E livre o meu pensamento
Quem faz a história da vida Com ela rompeu as entranhas do chão Quem quer saber do que está escondido Procura no fundo dos olhos do povo E dentro do seu coração
Vão com o vento as palavras São como pombos-correio Mas estão sempre atrasados Pois o seu vôo é lento E o meu pensamento é ligeiro
Silverado Composer(s): George McCorkle Performer(s): The Marshall Tucker Band
As a young man, I was raised by a man of the cloth And taught to judge men equal and not to find their faults Until one day, I witnessed a tragic thing A man laid on the church steps, slain
And as the smoke cleared, the tall man he holstered his gun The bright day ended and a cloud covered the sun I found hate in my heart that I'd never known before I'd see this man hang and that's the one thing that I know for sure
Silverado, you'll hang by the hangman's tree And you'll die in misery
His face remained in my eyes as I grew through the years I practised shooting every day while trying to hold back the tears I traveled through Oklahoma and Texas to the Rio Grande Knowing when I met Silverado, the Lord would steady my hand
Silverado, you'll hang by the hangman's tree And you'll die in misery, ye-eah
Then the day came, I'd dreamed of for years Silverado stood before me and my heart it pounded in fear As he turned and saw my eyes, he knew why I'd come Then, without the blink of an eye, he went for his gun
As our guns did fire, tears come to my eyes When he collapsed before me, I dropped my gun and sighed Silverado, you'll hang by the hangman's tree And you'll die in misery
Silverado, you'll hang by the hangman's tree Yes, you'll die in misery
Pasties And A G-String Composer(s): Tom Waits Performer(s): Tom Waits; Jeffrey Lee Pierce
Smelling like a brewery, looking like a tramp I ain't got a quarter, got a postage stamp Been five o'clock shadow boxing all around the town Talking with the old man, sleeping on the ground Bazanti bootin al zootin al hoot and Al Cohn Sharing this apartment with a telephone pole And a fish-net stocking, spike-heel shoes Strip tease, prick tease, car keys blues And the porno floor show, live nude girls Dreamy and creamy and brunette curls Chesty Morgan and Watermelon Rose Raise my rent and take off all your clothes With trench coats, magazines, a bottle full of rum She's so good, make a dead man come Pasties and a G-string, beer and a shot Portland through a shot glass and a Buffalo squeeze Wrinkles and Cherry and Twinkie and Pinkie and Fifi live from Gay Paree Fanfares, rim shots, back stage, who cares, all this hot burlesque for me
Cleavage, cleavage, thighs and hips From the nape of her neck to the lipstick lips Chopped and channeled and lowered and lewd And the cheater slicks and baby moons She's a-hot and ready, creamy and sugared And the band is awful and so are the tunes
Crawling on her belly, and shaking like jelly And I'm getting harder than Chinese algebrassieres And cheers from the (hmm) compendium here Hey sweetheart they're yelling for more You're squashing out your cigarette butts on the floor And I like Shelly, and you like Jane And what was the girl with the snakeskin's name? And it's an early-bird matinee, come back any day Get you a little something that you can't get at home Get you a little something that you can't get at home It's pasties and a G-string, beer and a shot Portland through a shot glass and a Buffalo squeeze Popcorn, front row, higher than a kite, and I'll be back tomorrow night And I'll be back tomorrow night
Past, Present, And Future Composer(s): Artie Butler; Jerry Leiber; George Morton Performer(s): The Shangri-Las; Grant Green; Abby Travis
The past, past, well now let me tell you about the past The past is filled with silent joys and broken toys Laughing girls and teasing boys Was I ever in love? I called it love- I mean, it felt like love There were moments when, well, there were moments when
Present, Go out with you? Why not? Do I like to dance? Of course Take a walk along the beach tonight? I'd love to But don't try to touch me, don't try to touch me Cos that will never happen again Shall we dance
The future, tomorrow? well tomorrow's a long way off Maybe someday I'll have somebody's hand Maybe somewhere someone will understand You know I used to sing- a tisket a tasket a green and yellow basket I'm all packed up and I'm on my way and I'm gonna fall in love But at the moment it doesn't look good At the moment it will never happen again
I miei sorrisi e i tuoi si sono spenti Noi camminiamo insieme e siamo soli ci restano soltanto lunghi silenzi che voglion dire... Addio... Addio... Il nostro amore, acqua di mare è diventato sale le nostre labbra inaridite non hanno più parole Guardami... guardami lo sai che non e vero non è vero finito il nostro amore Addio! Addio! Addio! Addio! Guardami... guardami, ascoltami, fermati Non è vero perché tu stai piangendo perché noi lo sappiamo che ci vogliamo bene che ci vogliamo bene... e ci lasciamo Addio! Addio! Addio! Addio!
Passionnément, d'une invincible flamme Passionnément, jusqu'au dernier dimanche Passionnément, j'embrasserai ton âme D'un feu d'amour, qui ne s'éteindra pas
Les vents nous porterons vers des terres lointaines Ou l'on vit de légendes Je vaincrai les dragons des palais de l'enfers Tu seras châtelaine J'allumerai tes yeux au soleil de printemps Qui oublie d'être sage Tu auras cet enfant, nous en ferons le dieu D'un jardin de nuages
Passionnément, Passionnément, humm humm humm
Passionnément, nous vivrons de chimères Passionnément, jusqu'aux derniers dimanches Passionnément, en brûlant d'éphémères Nous oublierons, la cruelle habitude
Je pendrai a ton coup la clé de mes hasards Tu seras bohémienne Tu verras l'océan de mes rêves bizarres Et tu seras sirène Au coup de nos années, je coucherai ton cur dans un lit de tendresse Et nos corps embrassés comme une forteresse Feront la guerre au temps
Silver Wings Composer(s): Merle Haggard First release by: Merle Haggard & The Strangers - 1969 Covered by multiple other artists
Silver wings shining in the sunlight Roaring engines headed somewhere in flight They're taking you away And leaving me lonely Silver wings slowly fading out of sight
Don't leave me i cried Don't take that airplane ride 'Cause you locked me out of your mind And left me standing here behind
Silver wings shining in the sunlight Roaring engines headed somewhere in flight They're taking you away And leaving me lonely Silver wings slowly fading out of sight
Silver wings shining in the sunlight Roaring engines headed somewhere in flight They're taking you away And leaving me lonely Silver wings slowly fading out of sight
Passionate Kisses Composer(s): Lucinda Williams Performer(s): Mary Chapin Carpenter; Lucinda Williams
Is it too much to ask I want a comfortable bed that won't hurt my back Food to fill me up And warm clothes and all that stuff Shouldn't I have this Shouldn't I have this Shouldn't I have all of this, and
Passionate kisses Passionate kisses, whoa oh oh Passionate kisses from you
Is it too much to demand I want a full house and a rock and roll band Pens that won't run out of ink And cool quiet and time to think Shouldn't I have this Shouldn't I have this Shouldn't I have all of this, and
Passionate kisses Passionate kisses, whoa oh oh Passionate kisses from you
Do I want too much Am I going overboard to want that touch I shout it out to the night "Give me what I deserve, 'cause it's my right" Shouldn't I have this Shouldn't I have this Shouldn't I have all of this, and
Passionate kisses Passionate kisses, whoa oh oh Passionate kisses from you
Passionate kisses Passionate kisses, whoa oh oh Passionate kisses from you
Petit Bonhomme First performance by: Camillo Felgen - 1962
Petit bonhomme, au bout de ton enfance Petit bonhomme, il faudra se quitter Tu partiras comme on part en vacances Sur les chemins de la liberté
Petit bonhomme, ainsi la vie nous mène Et les enfants s'échappent des parents J'ai eu la joie, bientôt j'aurai la peine Et je te comprendrai, je t'aime et j'attends
Je t'écoute dormir et tes rêves d'enfant Me font des souvenirs pour quand tu seras grand Plus grand que moi, demain déjà
Petit bonhomme, il faut que je te dise Petit bonhomme, et tu n'y croiras pas Mais quelquefois j'ai fait d'autres valises Vite défaites à cause de toi
Petit bonhomme, au jour du grand passage Je serai seul et tu ne viendras pas Mais je dirai: "Mon fils est en voyage" "Il est allé beaucoup plus loin, beaucoup plus loin que moi"
Passing The Time Composer(s): Ginger Baker; Mike Taylor Performer(s): Cream
It is a cold winter Away is the songbird And gone is her traveller She waits at home
The sun is on holiday No leaves on the trees The animals sleep While cold north wind blows
The snowflakes are falling The roof a white blanket Theres ice on the window pane She waits alone
She sits by the fireside The room is so warm Her children are sleeping She waits in their home
Passing the time Passing the time Everything fine Passing the time, drinking red wine Passing the time, drinking red wine Passing the time, drinking red wine Passing the time, everything fine Passing the time, drinking red wine Passing the time, everything fine Passing the time, wine and time rhyme Passing the time
It is a long winter Away is the summer She waits for her traveller So far from home
She sits by the fireside The room is so warm Theres ice on the window Shes lonely alone
Silver White Man Composer(s): David Byron Performer(s): Uriah Heep
Just looking around the sky And trying to reason why The feeling is right for someone to appear He's never been seen before But he's somewhere out there I'm sure And he talks in a whisper that most don't even hear
A silver white man on a silver white horse And I think that I'm going to meet him A silver white man on a silver white horse And I'll hope I'll be able to greet him
He watches us night and day Whatever we do or say His only concern is rightning all the wrong But because of the way they decreed He must stay on his silver white steed And try to find out the people who belong
The silver white man on a silver white horse And I hope that he's'coming to see me A silver white man on a silver white horse And I hope he'll be able to see me
Ne Pali Svetla U Sumrak Composer(s): Jozé Privek; Dragutin Britvic First performance by: Lola Novakovic - 1962
U toploj tami sobe, jo cigarete dve Dva mala svetla sve su blie, blie Ta noæ je stvorena za njih, taj san je snen i tako tih Dve zvezde sad æe poæ', na dalek stari put U plavom staklu vaze, tu negdje izpod rua Dva mala svetla sve su blie, blie Taj dan je bio tako tih, sad san se sputa meðu njih Veæ gasi cigaretu, prua ruke snu Taj dan je bio tako tih, sad san se sputa meðu njih I dve æe zvezde poæ', na dalek stari put U plavom staklu vaze, tu negdje izpod rua Dva mala svetla sve su blie, blie Ta noæ je stvorena za njih, sad san se sputa tako tih Veæ gasi cigaretu, prua ruke snu Ne pali svetla u sumrak
Silver Threads And Golden Needles Composer(s): Jack Rhodes; Dick Reynolds First release by: Wanda Jackson - 1956 Covered by multiple other artists
Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine And I'll never drown my sorrow in the warm glow of your wine You can't buy my love with money, for I never was that kind Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine Go ahead!
I don't want your golden mansions with a tear in every room All I want's the love you promised, beneath the halo moon But you think I should be happy with your money and your name And hide myself in sorrow while you play your cheatin' game
Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine And I'll never drown my sorrow in the warm glow of your wine You can't buy my love with money, for I never was that kind Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine
Pássara Composer(s): Chico Buarque; Francis Hime Performer(s): Maria Bethânia; and various other artists
E aí Ela cisma de voltar Sorri Quase pra te provocar Sim, goza tal felicidade Que tu vais ter que te amargar
Vais perseguir a maldita Vais insultá-la na rua Vais jogar pedras na lua Vais montar uma guarita Pra que aquela esquisita Não se atreva a voltar
E aí, e aí, e aí
E aí Ela cisma de voltar Sorri Quase pra te perdoar Sim, exala tal liberdade Que não podes mais tolerar
Vai manchar tuas verdades Vai se enfiar no teu leito Trair-te no teu próprio peito Vai quebrar todas as grades De que um homem é feito Pra esquecer de voar
E aí, e aí, e aí
E aí Ela cisma de voltar Sorri Quase pra te convidar Quase pra te convencer Quase pra te complicar Quase pra te confundir Mesmo pra te enlouquecer Mesmo pra te despertar
