Special Lady Composer(s): Harry Ray - Al Goodman - Walter Morris First release by: Ray, Goodman & Brown - 1979
You must be a special lady (Billy, you sing the first verse) (Come on, Herb, sing, sing it, man) And a very exciting girl (Al, bring that bass out, man) (Hey man, I'll bring it out a little bit more) You gotta be a special lady (Let's get down once more, come on) `Cause you got me sittin' on top of the world Sittin' on top of the world
Somehow I knew it would be you To change my gray skies to blue It was strange when you called my name Ever since that day I haven't been the same, ooh
Before I met you, my sun didn't want to shine Then all the warmth suddenly slipped up from behind Pop (Pop) went the reason in my mind
You must be a special lady And a very exciting girl (Ooh, so exciting) You gotta be a special lady (What a lady) `Cause you got me sittin' on top of the world Sittin' on top of the world
I was like a song so out of key Then you came and gave my soul a melody For instance, you're pullin' me through I always lost but now I win with you.
Before I met you, my sun didn't want to shine Then all the warmth suddenly slipped up from behind Pop [Pop] went the reason in my mind
You must be a special lady (I got a lady) And a very exciting girl (So exciting, woo) You gotta be a special lady (What a lady) `Cause you got me sittin' on top of the world (Oh...) Sittin' on top of the world.
Woo, what lady Oh Ooh... Sittin' on top of the world Sittin' on top of the world
Before I met you, my sun didn't want to shine Then all the warmth suddenly slipped up from behind Pop [Pop] went the reason in my mind.
You must be a special lady And a very exciting girl (So exciting, ooh) You gotta be a special lady `Cause you got me sittin' on top of the world (Ooh...) Sittin' on top of the world
You must be a special lady And a very exciting girl (Ooh, what a lady) You gotta be a special lady (Gettin' down, Billy Brown) (Alright, Harry Ray) `Cause you got me sittin' on top of the world Sittin' on top of the world
You must be a special lady (Ooh, ooh) And a very exciting girl (Oh, girl, oh, girl) You gotta be a special lady `Cause you got me sittin' on top of the world

What a gay affair our love would be If we could share a little privacy But privacy is one thing we miss When I chance to meet you socially Or call around and see your family If I have a moment, I just mumble this
Speaking confidentially Have I ever told you youre terrific? Great as the Pacific and I care for you Speaking confidentially When youre near Im higher than a hat is And the welcome on my mat is Always there for you Baby this is not the Flashman hour This is not a song the world should hear Why invite a hundred million more ears Its just for your ears, my dear Speaking confidentially I can never tell you what you mean to me Youre everything from A to Zee And that is true, so I mean to say essentially That, speaking confidentially, Im terribly in love with you
Hechos De Gente Composer(s): Pedro Guerra Performer(s): Pedro Guerra
Silvia tiene, quince, quince y una minifalda corta Silvia corta el aire y mira Silvia no se corta Ha bebido tanto que ya casi no recuerda Silvia corta el aire y mira y todo son sus puertas
Pedro tiene veinte, veinte y no sabe casi nada todo el dia juega y juega preso en la pantalla Ha jugado tanto, tanto que ya casi no recuerda ha perdido el aire lento que hay entre unas piernas
Todos hechos de gente, pero tan diferentes, pero tan diferentes todos hechos de gente, pero tan diferentes, pero tan diferentes
Rita piensa en tantas cosas que le queda corto el dia Rita piensa en tanta gente y como son sus vidas Dice que invirtio los años en las causas mas perdidas ella piensa que no es cierto y piensa una salida
Todos hechos
Y como el agua es del rio y como Dios es rezar ellos son de gente como el verbo es de hablar
Marcos vive en una isla y no quiere saber nada desconecta y vive solo y esa es su coartada El amigo de los peces, hombre de pocas palabras Es de el aire como el viento y duerme en una rama

Hécatombe Composer(s): Georges Brassens Performer(s): Georges Brassens; and various other artists
Au marché de Briv'-la-Gaillarde A propos de bottes d'oignons Quelques douzaines de gaillardes Se crêpaient un jour le chignon A pied, à cheval, en voiture Les gendarmes mal inspirés Vinrent pour tenter l'aventure D'interrompre l'échauffourée
Or, sous tous les cieux sans vergogne C'est un usag' bien établi Dès qu'il s'agit d'rosser les cognes Tout le monde se réconcilie Ces furies perdant tout' mesure Se ruèrent sur les guignols Et donnèrent je vous l'assure Un spectacle assez croquignol
En voyant ces braves pandores Etre à deux doigts de succomber Moi, j'bichais car je les adore Sous la forme de macchabées De la mansarde où je réside J'exitais les farouches bras Des mégères gendarmicides En criant: "Hip, hip, hip, hourra!"
Frénétiqu' l'un' d'elles attache Le vieux maréchal des logis Et lui fait crier: "Mort aux vaches Mort aux lois, vive l'anarchie!" Une autre fourre avec rudesse Le crâne d'un de ses lourdauds Entre ses gigantesques fesses Qu'elle serre comme un étau
La plus grasse de ses femelles Ouvrant son corsage dilaté Matraque à grand coup de mamelles Ceux qui passent à sa portée Ils tombent, tombent, tombent, tombent Et s'lon les avis compétents Il paraît que cette hécatombe Fut la plus bell' de tous les temps
Jugeant enfin que leurs victimes Avaient eu leur content de gnons Ces furies comme outrage ultime En retournant à leurs oignons Ces furies à peine si j'ose Le dire tellement c'est bas Leur auraient mêm' coupé les choses Par bonheur ils n'en avait pas Leur auraient mêm' coupé les choses Par bonheur ils n'en avait pas
Have You Ever Been Lonely? Composer(s): George "Funky" Brown; Peter de Rose; William J. Hill Performer(s): Ted Lewis; and various other artists
Have you ever been lonely? Have you ever been blue? Have you ever loved someone Just as I love you? Can't you see that I'm sorry For each mistake I've made? Can't you see I've changed dear? Can't you see that I've paid? Oh, be a little forgiving Take me back in your heart How can I go on living Now that we're apart? If you knew what I'd been through You'd know why I ask you Have you ever been lonely? Have you ever been blue? Be a little forgiving Take me back in your heart How can I go on living Now that we're apart? If you knew what I'd been through You'd know why I ask you Have you ever been lonely? Have you ever been blue?
Heavy Metal (Takin' A Ride) Performer(s): Don Felder
Drive it on up, let's cruise awhile Leave your cares far behind You can hedge your bet on a clean corvette To get you there right on time
Now if you're ready to dive into overdrive Baby, the green lights are on It's like you're running away On some high octane Everytime she reaches for the goal
(Chorus) Won't you take a ride on heavy metal It's the only way that you Can travel down that road Satisfied on heavy metal Baby won't you ride Ride it until it is through
Heavy metal
My oh my, how this lady can fly When she starts rolling beneath you You know you just can't lose The way she moves You wait for her to finally release you
It's not a big surprise To feel your temperature rise You've got a touch of redline fever Cause there is just one cure That they know for sure You just become a heavy metal believer
Have You Ever Been In Love Composer(s): Anders Bagge; Laila Bagge; Peer Astrom; Tom Nichols; Darryl Hall Performer(s): Celine Dion; Christopher Peacock
Have you ever been in love You could touch the moonlight When your heart's shooting stars You're holding heaven in your arms Have you ever been so in love
Have you ever walked on air Ever felt like you were dreamin' When you never thought it could But it really feels that good Have you ever been so in love
Have you ever been in love You could touch the moonlight When your heart's shooting star You're holding heaven in your arms Have you ever been in love, have you...
The time I spent Waiting for something that was heaven-sent When you find it, don't let go I know
Have you ever said a prayer And found that it was answered All my hope has been restored And I ain't looking anymore Have you ever been so in love, have you...
Some place that you aint leavin Somewhere you're gonna stay When you finally found the meanin' Have you ever felt this way
The time I spent Waiting for something that was heaven-sent When you find it, don't let go I know...
Coz have you ever been so in love, so in love You could touch the moonlight You can even reach the stars Doesn't matter near or far Have you ever been so in love
Have you ever been in love Have you ever been in love So in... love...

Heavy Horses Composer(s): Ian Anderson Performer(s): Jethro Tull
Iron-clad feather-feet pounding the dust An October's day, towards evening Sweat embossed veins standing proud to the plough Salt on a deep chest seasoning Last of the line at an honest day's toil Turning the deep sod under Flint at the fetlock, chasing the bone Flies at the nostrils plunder
The Suffolk, the Clydesdale, the Percheron vie with the Shire on his feathers floating Hauling soft timber into the dusk to bed on a warm straw coating
Heavy Horses, move the land under me Behind the plough gliding --- slipping and sliding free Now you're down to the few And there's no work to do The tractor's on its way
Let me find you a filly for your proud stallion seed to keep the old line going And we'll stand you abreast at the back of the wood behind the young trees growing To hide you from eyes that mock at your girth and your eighteen hands at the shoulder And one day when the oil barons have all dripped dry and the nights are seen to draw colder They'll beg for your strength, your gentle power your noble grace and your bearing And you'll strain once again to the sound of the gulls in the wake of the deep plough, sharing
Standing like tanks on the brow of the hill Up into the cold wind facing In stiff battle harness, chained to the world Against the low sun racing Bring me a wheel of oaken wood A rein of polished leather A Heavy Horse and a tumbling sky Brewing heavy weather
Bring a song for the evening Clean brass to flash the dawn across these acres glistening like dew on a carpet lawn In these dark towns folk lie sleeping as the heavy horses thunder by to wake the dying city with the living horseman's cry At once the old hands quicken --- bring pick and wisp and curry comb --- thrill to the sound of all the heavy horses coming home
