Heaven Can't Be Found Composer(s): Hank Williams Jr. Performer(s): Hank Williams Jr.; Dusty Drake
I looked over at my pillow but your face wasn't there and I don't smell the perfume you used to wear....... And I don't see your blouse or jeans or your pretty white cotton gown And I've looked all over hell...... but heaven can't be found
I've called and looked in every place you used to hang around I've searched in every bar and club and honky tonk in town...... And I don't know if I can go on without breaking down I've looked all over hell.....but heaven can't be found
I looked on the bedside table but your jewelry was all gone And I just wish you'd call me every time I look at the phone..... I looked in our dressing mirror and I saw myself break down Oh I've looked all over hell......but heaven can't be found
I've called and looked in every place you used to hang around I've searched in every bar and club and honky tonk in town...... And I don't know if I can go on without breaking down I've looked all over hell.....but heaven can't be found
Has sido echado del cuerpo a patadas cuando más cerca te hallabas en reposo Has sido echado del abrazo a patadas cuando el calor comenzaba a resultarte mejor Has sido echado del techo a patadas cuando empezaba a servirte para el frío Has sido echado de la calle a patadas cuando empezó a ser abrigo el frío colgando del sol
Has sido echado del polvo una vez y al polvo vuelves más tarde Vas repartido en miserias de animal y en ciertas risas también Así, de cerca, pareces un señor con una altura de mito pero mirando de lejos puedo ver que hay nubes entre tus pies
Has sido echado de todos los sitios cuando este mundo comenzaba a contraerte Has sido echado del mundo a patadas a golpes suaves de vida a caricias de amor Ahora te echas de ti a patadas pegas tan fuerte que vuelas de ti mismo Guardemos pues la carrera de bala que mientras te estén echando no va a parar la función

Don't break my heart tonight, don't leave me when I cry Stay now and softly play the strings of my heart I want you by my side, you make me feel all right And let the fiddler play on the strings of my heart
Don't break my heart, oh no (Don't break my heart, don't break my heart, don't break my heart) I want you by my side, you make me feel all right (Right by my side, right by my side, I feel all right) And let the fiddler play on the strings of my heart (Strings of my heart) And let the fiddler play on the strings of my heart

Has De Saber Mi Nombre Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez
Para amarme con la fuerza que yo necesito con la fuerza de todo el amor para odiarme con la fuerza que yo necesito con la forma más fiera de odiar has de saber mi nombre sólo saber mi nombre
Yo me llamo semilla cuando la tierra exige un hijo más yo me llamo rocío cuando la noche es seca y tiene sed yo me he llamado compañía yo me he llamado intensidad pero por fuerza de costumbre me llamo bala casi siempre
Para amarme con amor frente a viento y marea con amor que se puede tocar para odiarme con el odio que más se recrea -con el odio que apaga la luz- has de saber mi nombre sólo saber mi nombre
Yo me llamo llovizna si hay melancolía que vivir yo me llamo saludo cuando la ausencia estorba caminar yo me he llamado poesía yo me he llamado una canción pero por fuerza de costumbre me llamo bala casi siempre

Has Anybody Seen Our Cat? Composer(s): T.W. Conner; James T. Powers
I'm upset now let me tell you why Our old cat sneaked away, upon the sly My old Ma declares it is a sign that bad luck's coming and two to one it's mine! I've been wond'ring who I am to blame for sneaking the bacon and the brawn and the can of milk and beef steak pie When they're missing on a Sunday morn!
Every night, as soon as we're in bed All his old pals gather overhead Gently calling for him to come out and play a game of leapfrog 'round the gutter of the spout In despair, I went to the police They told me not to feel so blue He might turn up in a penny mince pie or With his wife, in a day or two!
Has anybody seen our cat? Has anybody seen our cat? He's got a bit o'black on the end of his tail and the skin all off where he's been fighting Last Sunday morning we miss'd him from the mat Puss, puss, puss, puss, meat, meat, meat! Has anybody seen our cat?

The day after marriage, I went in the streets with my bride She wanted coffee - oh no, I'm voting for beer You see how good is she - my caring, lovely fiancée We walked into the bar through light Oh God - there's girls from last night
Too much, too much, too much, I say My life - it looks like a cabaret Too much, too much, too much, enough I swear I'll never use that stuff

Whenever I'm with you
Something inside
Starts to burn deep
And my heart's filled with fire
Could be that I'm very sentimental
Or is this just the way love's supposed to be?
I got a heatwave
Burning in my heart
I can't keep from crying
Tearing me apart
Sometimes she calls my name
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I can't explain
I feel, yeah I feel
I feel this burning flame
This high blood pressure's got a hold on me
'Cause this is the way love's supposed to be
I got a heatwave
Burning in my heart
I can't keep from crying
Tearing me apart
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Just give me another chance
This could be a new romance

Spanish Rose Composer(s): Charles Strouse - Lee Adams
Rosie: I'm just a Spanish tamale according to Mae Right off the boat from the tropics far far away Which is kind of funny Since where I come from is Allentown, Pa Spanish! Ok, may I'll be Spanish Right after I've married Alberto
I'll be the toast of chi-chi Costanango, And all day long my castanets will click! I'll hide behind my fan and do the tango! I'll be so Spanish it'll make you sick! I'll eat the tacos and the enchilada! I'll drink Tequila till I feel no pain! The only song I'll sing will be "Granada"! I'll be more "español" than Abbe Lane!
Coo coo coo La cuc.........racha Ssssso Call me the wild Spanish rose! The craziest flower that grows I'll kick up my heels and see How it feels to be sultry Spanish rose Olé!
Behind my mantilla I will pose The beauty that nobody knows! So regal and cool, exciting and cruel, That's me! Spanish rose
(My name Rosita Hernandez!) (You'll buy my "tortilla"!) (You like me, yes? No? Maybe? "Eeyuckh!")
"Americano" let me give you a bit of advice To cross Spanish do not twice Your match you have found So don't mess around Her heart is cold as ice!
With Albert I will dance to the bolero We'll cha cha in the nicest honky tonks Hell wear a little mustache and sombrero My handsome Latin lover from the Bronx
So now that you've met Spanish rose Never forget Spanish rose Shell taunt you, Shell tame you but what man can blame you For worshiping Spanish rose.
Not Danish Not British Not Swedish Not Yiddish But span............................ish Rosa!

Listen To Your Heartbeat Composer(s): Thomas G:so - Henrik Sethsson First performance by: Friends - 2001
I wanna know what you feel inside Is something wrong? Why did you leave last night? Is it all just a game? Oh... tell me why we can't be lovers
I do believe in the two of us That you and me we are the only ones And we were meant to be true, so tell me why we can't be lovers
How could I be such a fool I thought I already knew it all, but I know I was totally wrong
Listen to your heartbeat it will take you higher Follow your emotions I know you'll get stronger Listen to your heartbeat the feeling will guide you Hold on to devotion I know it's inside you
How will I know if you're fooling me? Maybe I'm wrong, but it seems to be Like it's all just a game, and I just want us to be lovers
We had it all in our hands Just like those all happy ends I still don't know why, but we lost it somehow
Listen to your heartbeat it will take you higher Follow your emotions I know you'll get stronger Listen to your heartbeat the feeling will guide you Hold on to devotion I know it's inside you
One more chance to make a try Nothing left to do for you and I
Listen to your heartbeat it will take you higher Follow your emotions I know you'll get stronger Listen to your heartbeat the feeling will guide you Hold on to devotion I know it's inside you
Heather Composer(s): Paul Vance; Lee Pockriss Performer(s): The Cuff Links
Heather ties her hair with golden daffodils And her eyes reflect the sunshine of the sea Heather smiles and tells me that she's feeling fine But Heather's silent tears are always crying
Heather wears a straw white hat upon her head Ties a satin ribbon underneath her chin Climbs a purple mountain somewhere in her mind And finds her shadow near a river crying
Heather come to me, don't cry, don't run away Together there's tomorrow but alone there's only yesterday Heather come to me, don't cry, just take my hand Love will be the answer to the loneliness we cannot understand
Heather smile and then I'll find a rainbow ring I'll tie it to your finger with a golden string Promising forever that my love will bring The sunshine in the morning when I wake you
Heather come to me, Heather don't you know The happy place you're searching for is in my heart I love you so

Worry Onto Those That Shed Innocent Blood Of Jah People
Jah shall clean out the bad weeds and seperate them from the good 'cause the day of harvest is near
Worry unto those that say they're of Israel (and they are not) Worry unto those that say they're Jews (and they are not) 'Cause they shall be cast away like chaff that the wind driveth away I say
Jah shall clean out the bad weeds and seperate them from the good 'cause the day of harvest is near
Death to the black and white opressors who have oppressed Jah Children innocently I throw my word without partiality - Listen to I Let it fall, and let it fall, let Babylon fall
Jah shall clean out the bad weeds and seperate them from the good 'cause the day of harvest is near
Worry unto those that say they're of Israel (and they are not) Worry unto those that say they're Jews (and they are not) 'Cause Jah shall have them in his region They're half the season (?) 'Cause they shall be cast away like chaff that the wind driveth away I say

Spanish Pipedream Composer(s): John Prine First release by: John Prine - 1971 Covered by multiple other artists
She was a level-headed dancer on the road to alcohol And I was just a soldier on my way to Montreal Well she pressed her chest against me About the time the juke box broke Yeah, she gave me a peck on the back of my neck And these are the words she spoke
Blow up your T.V. Throw away your paper Go to the country Build you a home Plant a little garden Eat a lot of peaches Try and find Jesus on your own
Well, I sat there at the table and I acted real naive For I knew that topless lady had something up her sleeve Well, she danced around the bar room and she did the hoochy-coo Yeah she sang her song all night long, tellin' me what to do
Blow up your T.V. Throw away your paper Go to the country Build you a home Plant a little garden Eat a lot of peaches Try and find Jesus on your own
Well, I was young and hungry and about to leave that place When just as I was leavin', well she looked me in the face I said "You must know the answer" She said, "No but I'll give it a try" And to this very day we've been livin' our way And here is the reason why
We blew up our T.V. Threw away our paper Went to the country Built us a home Had a lot of children Fed 'em on peaches They all found Jesus on their own

Composer(s): Irving Berlin
Performer(s): Marilyn Monroe
Oh! We're having a heat wave, a tropical heat wave
The temperature's rising, it isn't surprising
She certainly can can-can
She started a heat wave by letting her seat wave
In such a way that the customers say
That she certainly can can-can
Gee, gee! Her anatomy makes the mercury rise to 93!
Having a heat wave, a tropical heat wave, the way that she moves
That thermometer proves that she certainly can.....
(What's your name honey? Pablo) Certainly can....
(Chico, Miguelito, Pablo, Chico, Miguelito).....oh, can-can
Pablo, it's saying here in the weather report
It's saying a fairly warm air is moving in from..
(Where?) Jamaica
Moderately high air pressure will cover the NE and..
(Where else?) The Deep South
Small danger of (what?) Fruit frost!
Hot and humid nights can be expected
Vincent 95, Guadeloupe 97, Santo Domingo 99
Pardon me? 105?
We're having a heat wave, a tropical heat wave
The temperature's rising, it isn't surprising
I certainly can can-can
I started this heat wave in such a way
That the customers say that I certainly can can-can
The man who need makes the mercury rise to 93
We're having a heat wave, a tropical, a tropical heat wave
The way that I move, that thermometer grooves
(She certainly, certainly, certainly can}
I certainly, certainly, certainly can can-can
