It was a moonlit night in old Mexico I walked alone between some old adobe haciendas Suddenly, I heard the plaintive cry of a young Mexican girl
(La-la-la)
You better come home, Speedy Gonzales Away from tannery row Stop alla your a-drinkin' With that floozie named Flo Come on home to your adobe And slap some mud on the wall The roof is leakin' like a strainer There's loadsa roaches in the hall
Speedy Gonzales, why dontcha come home? Speedy Gonzales, how come ya leave me all alone?
"Hey, Rosita-I hafta go shopping downtown for my mudder-she needs some tortillas and chili peppers"
(La-la-la)
Your doggy's gonna have a puppy And we're runnin' outta coke No enchiladas in the icebox And the television's broke I saw some lipstick on your sweatshirt I smelled some perfume in your ear Well if you're gonna keep on messin' Don't bring your business back a-here
Mmm, Speedy Gonzales, why dontcha come home? Speedy Gonzales, how come ya leave me all alone?
"Hey, Rosita-come queek-down at the cantina they giving green stamps with tequila!!"
Hell Nep Avenue Composer(s): Francis Cabrel Performer(s): Francis Cabrel
Comme j'arrivais la tête en vrac Entre ma guitare et mon sac J'entends, malheureux ne bougez plus Ne bougez plus Le prochain pas que vous allez faire Peut vous mener droit en enfer Personne ne vous a prévenu Vous êtes sur Hell nep Avenue
Boulevard des papiers qui s'envolent Le vent y descend droit du pôle Ça fait des chansons de travers, de travers Chanteurs aux épaules tombantes Pris dans les fougères grimpantes Encore une averse de plus Sur Hell nep Avenue
Quelques mesures de silence À l'heure où l'autobus s'avance Aucune fille n'en descend, et le blues reprend On peut voir se creuser les rides De ceux qui attendent dans le vide Il n'y a pas de ciel par-dessus La Hell nep Avenue
Personne ne vous a prévenu À cette heure-ci elle viendra plus Il n'y a pas de ciel par-dessus La Hell nep Avenue
Avenue du blues, boulevard de personne On y a vu trainer Robert Johnson Jusqu'au matin grattant la misère, la misère Il reste un carré de pelouse Où quelques silhouettes jalouses Viennent pour fleurir la statue Vous êtes sur Hell nep Avenue
Tendresse pendue aux pupitres Rue des fenêtres sans vitres Combien d'amoureux étendus, étendus On y a tous chanté une fois Une fois et puis t'oublies plus La hell nep Avenue...
Combien d'amoureux étendus Tellement, tellement de silhouettes perdues Encore une averse de plus sur la Hell nep Avenue Personne ne vous a prévenu À cette heure-ci elle viendra plus Il n'y a pas de ciel par-dessus la Hell nep Avenue...
Haven't You Heard Composer(s): Dale Siegenthaler Performer(s): Porter Wagoner
Haven't you heard there's a new love for me Haven't you heard you're just my used to be She held out her hand, said "Haven't you heard" I saw a gold wedding band, I was lost for words I wanted to cry I wanted to die When she said these words ("Oh, haven't you heard*)
Haven't you heard there's a new love for me Haven't you heard you're just my used to be She pulled back her hand, I wanted to cry It was all I could stand to see her wavin' goodbye I wanted to cry I wanted to die When she said these words ("Oh, haven't you heard") When she said these words "Oh, haven't you heard"

Op een mistig koude augustusavond liep ik doelloos langs witgekalkte huisjes van het Lierse Begijnhof. In de grauwe stilte weerklonk plots het troosteloos geweeklaag van een eenzaam meisje
das kwezel Eufrazie van Doemmele van het Begijnenhof in Lier sinds heure vent stierf van t boemmele is t menske hiêl diên tijd al hier ze zit al jare in heur huiske ze denkt er dikwijls on ne vent alleen gon slape mè e kruiske is ze nog altijd ni gewend

Hell Is For Children Composer(s): Pat Benatar; Roger Capps; Neil Giraldo Performer(s): Pat Benatar; Rosemary's Billygoat
They cry in dark so you can't see their tears They hide in the light so you can't see their fears Forgive and forget all the while... Love and pain become one and the same in the eyes of a wounded child Because--hell, hell is for children! And you know that their little lives can become such a mess Hell--hell is for children and you shouldn't have to pay for your love with your bones and your flesh... It's all so confusing this brutal abusing... They blacken your eyes and then apologize... "Be daddy's good girl and don't tell mommy a thing"... "Be a good little boy and you'll get a new toy tell grandma you fell from the swing" Because--hell, hell is for children! And you know that their little lives can become such a mess Hell--hell is for children and you shouldn't have to pay for your love with your bones and your flesh...
Haven't You Heard Composer(s): Red Lane; Wayne Kemp Performer(s): George Strait
Haven't you heard, Daddy's gone crazy Haven't you heard, Momma is gone
Here I stand with my finger on his door bell My mind goes back to what I did last night You see I finally talked his wife into leavin' him And I'm just here to convince my conscience that it's alright Well I can see my ole friend sittin' there just starin' And his little boy's cryin' words that are welded in my mind
Haven't you heard, Daddy's gone crazy Haven't you heard, Momma is gone And either way I am a loser And I've been cryin' all night long Mister, haven't you heard
Haven't you heard, Daddy's gone crazy Haven't you heard, Momma is gone And either way I am a loser And I've been cryin' all night long Mister, haven't you heard

Ritorna a casa Speedy Gonzales devi lasciare quel bar e devi smettere di bere per scordarti di me
Tu m'hai lasciata sola in casa tu m'hai lasciato perchè ho tanto freddo e sono sola e il tetto lacrima per me
Speedy Gonzales ritorna da me Speedy Gonzales non lasciarmi mai più
Nascondi il viso col sombrero e ti vergogni perchè hai sulle labbra un'altro bacio mai baciato da me Se torni incontro alle mie braccia io ti perdono perchè berremmo insieme una tequila e brinderemo al nostro amor
Speedy Gonzales ritorna da me Speedy Gonzales non lasciarmi mai più
Speedy Gonzales why don't you come home Speedy Gonzales don't you leave me alone
Hell In A Bucket Composer(s): John Perry Barlow; Bob Weir Performer(s): Grateful Dead; Bob Weir
Well, I was drinking last night with a biker And I showed him a picture of you I said, "Pal, get to know her You'll like her" Seemed like the least I could do...
'Cause when he's driving his chopper Up and down your carpeted halls You will think me by contrast quite proper Never mind how I stumble and fall Never mind how I stumble and fall
Chorus: You imagine me sipping champagne from your boot For a taste of your elegant pride I may be going to hell in a bucket, babe But at least I'm enjoying the ride At least I'm enjoying the ride At least I'm enjoying the ride
Now miss sweet little soft-core pretender Somehow baby got hard as it gets With her black leather chrome spiked suspenders Her chair and her whip and her pets
Well we know you're the reincarnation Of the ravenous Catherine the Great And we know how you love your ovations For the Z-rated scenes you create The Z-rated scenes you create
You analyze me, pretend to despise me You laugh when I stumble and fall There may come a day I will dance on your grave If unable to dance, I will crawl across it Unable to dance, I'll still crawl
You must really consider the circus 'Cause it just might be your kind of zoo I can't think of a place that's more perfect For a person as perfect as you
And it's not like I'm leaving you lonely 'Cause I wouldn't know where to begin But I know that you'll think of me only When the snakes come marching in When the snakes come marching in
Have You Seen Your Mother, Baby, Standing In The Shadow?
Have You Seen Your Mother, Baby, Standing In The Shadow?
Composer(s): Mick Jagger; Keith Richards
Performer(s): The Rolling Stones
Have you seen your mother, baby, standing in the shadow? Have you had another, baby, standing in the shadow? I'm glad I opened your eyes The have-nots would have tried to freeze you in ice
Have you seen your brother, baby, standing in the shadow? Have you had another baby, standing in the shadow? I was just passing the time I'm all alone, won't you give all your sympathy to mine?
Tell me a story about how you adore me Live in the shadow, see through the shadow, Live through the shadow, tear at the shadow Hate in the shadow, and love in your shadowy life
Have you seen your lover, baby, standing in the shadow? Has he had another baby, standing in the shadow? Baby, where have you been all your life? Talking about all the people who should try anything twice
Have you seen your mother, baby, standing in the shadow? Have you had another baby, standing in the shadow? You take your choice at this time The brave old world or the slide to the depths of decline

Since you came into my life, I've been touched by happiness I feel love is all around 'cause there is no more loneliness And there's one thing that is true You should know how much I love you
Love is everything I want, love is everything I need Thinking of the day we met as sign of destiny Love is everything I want, I believe in you and me Let me show you what I feel because my love is real
The girl I was, I left behind, incomplete and insecure Now I got you on my mind and I feel like I've been cured And there's one thing that is true You should know how much I love you
Love is everything I want, love is everything I need Thinking of the day we met as sign of destiny Love is everything I want, I believe in you and me Let me show you what I feel because my love is real
(Ah... ah... ah...) Whoa...

He'll Have To Go Composer(s): Audrey Allison; Joe Allison Performer(s): Jim Reeves
Put your sweet lips a little closer to the phone Let´s pretend that we´re together all alone I´ll tell the man to turn the jukebox way down low And you can tell your friend there with you he´ll have to go Whisper to me tell me do you love me true? Or is he holding you the way I do? Though love is blind, make up your mind I´ve got to know Should I hang up or will you tell him he´ll have to go You can´t say the words I want to hear while you´re with another man If you want me answer "Yes" or "No" darling I will understand Put your sweet lips a little closer to the phone Let´s pretend that we´re together all alone I´ll tell the man to turn the jukebox way down low And you can tell your friend there with you he´ll have to go

Have you seen the stars tonight? Have you looked at all the family of stars?

Seul sur le sable les yeux dans l'eau Mon rêve était trop beau L'été qui s'achève tu partiras A cent mille lieux de moi Comment oublier ton sourire Et tellement de souvenirs
Nos jeux dans les vagues près du quai Je n'ai vu le temps passer L'amour sur la plage désertée Nos corps brûlés enlacés Comment t'aimer si tu t'en vas Dans ton pays loin là-bas oua oua
Hélène things you do make me crazy bout you Pourquoi tu pars reste ici j'ai tant besoin d'une amie Hélène things you do make me crazy bout you Pourquoi tu pars si loin de moi La ou le vent te porte loin de mon cur qui bat
Hélène things you do make me crazy bout you Pourquoi tu pars reste ici reste encore juste une nuit
Seul sur le sable les yeux dans l'eau Mon rêve était trop beau L'été qui s'achève tu partiras A cent mille lieux de moi Comment t'aimer si tu t'en vas Dans ton pays loin là-bas Dans ton pays loin là-bas oua oua oua da ba da Dans ton pays loin de moi
Have You Seen Her? Composer(s): Barbara Acklin; Eugene Record Performer(s): The Chi-Lites
One month ago today I was happy as a lark But now I go for walks To the movies - maybe to the park
And have a seat on the same old bench To watch the children play (huh) You know, tomorrow is their future But to me, just another day
They all gather around me They seem to know my name We laugh, tell a few jokes But it still doesn´t ease my pain
I know I can´t hide from a memory ´Though day after day I´ve tried I keep sayin´ she´ll be back But today again I lied
Verse 1: Oh, I see her face everywhere I go On the street, and even at the picture show Have you seen her? Tell me, have you seen her?
Verse 2: Oh, I hear her voice as the cold winds blow In the sweet music on my radio Have you seen her? Tell me, have you seen her?
Why, oh, why Did she have to leave and go away [2: oh, yeah]
Oh-oh-oh, I´ve been used to havin´ someone to lean on And I´m lost Baby, I´m lost (Oh)
Verse 3: Oh, she left her kiss upon my lips But left that break within my heart Have you seen her? Tell me, have you seen her?
Verse 4: Oh, I see her hand reaching out to me Only she can set me free Have you seen her? Tell me, have you seen her?
(spoken over 2nd and 3rd repeats):
As another day comes to an end I´m lookin´ for a letter or somethin´ Anything that she would send With all the people I know I´m still a lonely man You know, it´s funny I thought I had her in the palm of my hand
repeat:
Have you seen her Tell me, have you seen her (tell me, have you seen her?)
Two hundred miles from my home A million miles from you Livin' without you on my own You know it's hard to do And through the night, feelings grow You know I need you so
Lightning and thunder may appear But you know I'm forever here Time will never tear us apart We'll never leave as broken-hearted Believe in me, you know how I really feel My love, how I want you near
Helene, things you do Make me crazy about you Helene, when we say goodbye It always makes me cry
Helene, things you do Make me crazy about you Helene, stay just one more night Say you don't have to leave Until the end of time
Helene, things you do Make me crazy about you Can't you stay just one more night Can't you stay by my side
Two hundred miles from my home And so many miles from you Livin' without you on my own You know it's hard to do And through the night, feelings grow You know I need you so You know I need you so You know I need you so
Have You Never Been Mellow Composer(s): John Farrar Performer(s): Olivia Newton-John; and various other artists
There was a time when I was in a hurry as you are I was like you There was a day when I just had to tell my point of view I was like you Now I don't mean to make you frown No, I just want you to slow down
Have you never been mellow? Have you never tried to find a comfort from inside you? Have you never been happy just to hear your song? Have you never let someone else be strong?
Running around as you do with your head up in the clouds I was like you Never had time to lay back, kick your shoes off, close your eyes I was like you Now you're not hard to understand You need someone to hold your hand
