There's a ramshackle shack In old Caroline It's callin' me back To the girl of mine Those two brown eyes I'm longin' to see Oh, the girl of my dreams She will always be
Those two brown eyes That sparkle with love Came down to me From heaven above If I could fly Like a beautiful dove I'd fly to the arms Of the one that I love
Those two brown eyes That sparkle with love Came down to me From heaven above If I could fly Like a beautiful dove I'd fly to the arms Of the one that I love

Hate Everything About You Composer(s): Rodney Crowell; Steve Lukather Performer(s): Toto
Night after night, day after day I pass by the house that once was our home I look through the windows, I lean on the bell Theres a light but theres no sign of you The strangers new car in the driveway tells me you're there I know youre there I feel like a chump doing time on the street Low life and useless as the rags on my feet showin through You dont know how much I hate everything about you
Your honey red lips and your eyes big and sparkling blue The curve of your hips and your black irish hair Sends a shiver that runs through me too You dont know how much I hate you, wish it was true The alleys are dark, sidewalks are bare Times on my hands empty and cold Im looking for something to knock out the night Till the sun comes up shining like new The chill in my bones reminds me life isnt fair and nobody cares To the lost souls surviving on hard knocks and vice In a world just as nasty as your world is nice (baby blue) You dont know how much I hate everything about you
Your voice like good bourbon so elegant, tasteful and smooth Youre a goddess, a priestess, a temptress, a queen Greta Garbos got nothing on you You dont know how much I hate you, wish it was true You were kind to my brother and good to my friends You were passionate, faithful and strong I must have been sleeping It feels like a dream I cant tell just where I went wrong Like a dog in the garbage with rocks in my head Im strung out and crazy and cant find the thread, running through You dont know how much I hate everything about you
The poison that runs through my veins telling me what to do With a flick of a match I could burn down this house Taking every last memory of you You dont know how much I hate you I say, you dont know how much I hate you You dont know how much I hate you I wish it was true Oh, yes I do
Heaven Help The Child Composer(s): Glen Burtnik; Kasim Sulton Performer(s): Kasim Sulton
A paper rainbow hangs in the room Dolls on the nightstand, a bride and a groom Outside the window dogs howl at the moon Heaven help the child
Ting fingers, nails painted red Clutching a blanket, pulled over her head Praying no monsters are under the bed Heaven help the child
She needs someone to wake her everyday Someone to hold her hand and lead the way She needs someone to put the pieces back again When her little heart is broken
Chalked colored sidewalks and castles of sand Wells full of wishes and a story of plans Someday they'll be changes she won't understand Heaven help the child
She needs someone to hold her everyday Someone to kiss her tears away She needs someone to put the pieces back again When her little heart is broken
A paper rainbow hangs in the room Two dolls on the nightstand, a bride and a groom One little angle will be growing up soon Heaven help the child Heaven help the child
Hasta Venecia Composer(s): F. Delguet; Don Diego Performer(s): Raphael
No creas que hace falta un bello atardecer para el amor Ni el clima tan romántico y primaveral que hay en Venecia Es bastante saber que tú sientes igual que siento yo Y que sufres también si te falta el calor de mi presencia No creas que es preciso oír el ruiseñor en el jardín Ni ver nacer las rosas junto a tu balcón para querernos Cuando llega el amor no hace falta ya más Pues todo en ti se convierte a su vez En un sueño feliz que ha de envolvernos No creas que el que ama tiene que cantar y sonreír Y estar continuamente hablando de su amor a su adorada Cuando estoy junto a ti yo no sé de qué hablar ni qué decirte No hay lenguaje mejor que el que pueda expresar una mirada Por eso de la mano yo te enseñaré que en el amor Lo único que importa para no fallar es la clemencia y saber entregar No exigir y evitar causar dolor no hace falta ya más No es preciso marchar los dos hasta Venecia
Spare Parts Composer(s): Bruce Springsteen Performer(s): Bruce Springsteen
Bobby said he'd pull out Bobby stayed in Janey had a baby wasn't any sin They were set to marry on a summer day Bobby got scared and he ran away Jane moved in with here ma out on Shawnee Lake She sighed ma sometimes my whole life feels like one big mistake She settled in in a back room time passed on Later that winter a son came along
Spare parts and broken hearts Keep the world turnin' around
Now Janey walked that baby across the floor night after night But she was a young girl and she missed the party lights Meanwhile in South Texas in a dirty oil patch Bobby heard about his son bein' born and swore he wasn't ever goin' back
Spare parts and broken hearts Keep the world turnin' around
Janey heard about a woman over in Calverton Put her baby in the river let the river roll on She looked at her boy in the crib where he lay Got down on her knees cried till she prayed Mist was on the water low run the tide Janey held her son down at the riverside Waist deep in water how bright the sun shone She lifted him in her arms and carried him home As he lay sleeping in her bed Janey took a look around at everything Went to a drawer in her bureau and got out her old engagement ring Took out her wedding dress tied that ring up in its sash Went straight down to the pawn shop man and walked out with some good cold cash
Spare parts and broken hearts Keep the world turnin' around
Heaven For Everyone Composer(s): Roger Taylor Performer(s): Queen; Cross; One Vision
This could be heaven This could be heaven This could be heaven This could be heaven This could be heaven For everyone
In these days of cool reflection, you come to me and everything seems alright In these days of cold affectons you sit by me and everything's fine
This could be heaven for everyone, this world could be fed, this world could be fun This could be heaven for everyone, this would could be free, this world could be one
In this world of cool deception, just your smile can smooth my ride These troubled days of cruel reflection, you come to me soothe my troubled mind
This could be heaven for everyone, this world could be fed, this world could be fun
This should be love for everyone, this world should be free, this world could be one We should bring love to our daughters and sons, love, love, love, love
This could be heaven for everyone This could be heaven for everyone This could be heaven for everyone
Listen What people do to other souls, they take their lives, destroy their goals Their basic pride and dignity, stripped and torn and show no pity
This could be heaven for everyone This could be heaven, this could be heaven, this could be heaven for everyone For everyone
Só Sei Ser Feliz Assim First performance by: MTM - 2001
Yeah... whoa yeah...
Ainda me lembro mas eu já não sei Se o meu segredo a ti o contei Ando à deriva, procuro o teu mar É a tua ilha que eu quero encontrar
E é no teu beijo que eu encontro o feitiço No teu abraço o calor de que eu preciso No teu olhar um desejo atrevido Com o teu amor tudo faz sentido
Ai, eu só sei ser feliz assim Como o teu beijo abraçado a mim Ai, eu só sei ser feliz assim Louco, perdido por ti até ao fim
Pr'além da razão, nasce a magia Cristais de ilusão, és a minha fantasia
E é no teu beijo que eu encontro o feitiço No teu abraço o calor de que eu preciso No teu olhar um desejo atrevido Com o teu amor tudo faz sentido
Ai, eu só sei ser feliz assim Como o teu beijo abraçado a mim Ai, eu só sei ser feliz assim Louco, perdido por ti até ao fim
Ai, eu só sei ser feliz assim Como o teu beijo abraçado a mim Ai, eu só sei ser feliz assim Louco, perdido por ti até ao fim
Ai, eu só sei ser feliz assim (Ai, eu só sei) Como o teu beijo abraçado a mim (Como o teu beijo) Ai, eu só sei ser feliz assim (Ai, eu só sei) Louco, perdido por ti até ao fim
Heaven Drops Her Curtain Down Composer(s): S. Mysels; G. Mysels Performer(s): Jerry Vale; Jo Stafford
Heaven drops her curtain down
and sunset silhouettes the town Autumn breezes sweep the ground and scatter memories all around Memories of a lovely night I might have made you mine Here am I demanding consolation from the one Consolation for the tears, the bitter taste of wasted years Wasted like the words so dear, we never spoke yet longed to hear Longed to hear and yearned to answer Never more to part, no more to part Till heaven drops her curtain down upon my heart Long to hear and yearn to answer Never more to part,no more to part Till heaven drops her curtain down upon my heart

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
Strings Of My Heart Composer(s): Tonci Huljic - Vjekoslava Huljic First performance by: Vanna - 2001
Aha... aha... Stay now and softly play the strings of my heart
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 And let the fiddler play on the strings of my heart
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
