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

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?
Too Much Composer(s): Arnis Mednis - Gustavs Terzens First performance by: Arnis Mednis - 2001
The day before marriage, I was out so long in the night My lovely fiancée no more is feelin' my sight Why do I feel this way? - Dunno, last night was great But something's screwin' me up, I swear to God I will stop
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
Oo... baby, take me back (Okay) Oh.... give me one more smile (All right) You're mine and only one (We'll see) Why, darling, you don't come?
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
Oo... baby, take me back (Okay) Oh.... give me one more smile (All right) You're mine and only one (We'll see) Why, darling, you don't come? (Too much)
Oo... baby, take me back (Okay) Oh.... give me one more smile (All right) You're mine and only one (We'll see) Why, darling, you don't come? (Too much)

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!
