Houses Of The Holy Composer(s): Jimmy Page; Robert Plant Performer(s): Led Zeppelin; Interface; Joe Lester; Pat Travers
Let me take you to the movies, can I take you to the show? Let me be yours ever truly, can I make your garden grow? From the houses of the holy, we can watch the white doves go From the door comes Satan's daughter, and it only goes to show, you know There's an angel on my shoulder, in my hand a sword of gold Let me wander in your garden and the seeds of love I'll sow, you know So the world is spinning faster, are you dizzy when you're stoned? Let the music be your master, will you heed the master's call? Oh, Satan and man Said there ain't no use in crying, 'cause it will only, only drive you mad Does it hurt to hear them lying? Was this the only world you had? Oh-oh So let me take you, take you to the movie, can I take you, baby, to the show? Why don't you let me be yours ever truly, can I make your garden grow? You know
A Mia Moglie ((French Version: À Ma Femme (by Charles Aznavour)) Composer(s): Charles Aznavour - Georges Calabrese Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
Quando l'aratro dell'eta', i nostri visi segnera' Con i lunghi solchi che vi avra' scavato I nostri figli grandi ormai, saranno andati via di qui Per aumentare in fondo a noi il vuoto Quand'ogni gesto nascera', piu' lento nell'intimita' Per tutto il tempo che sara' passato Parlarsi allora non sara',pensare a quello che verra' Ma ricordare tutto cio' che e' stato...
A passi lenti tu verrai, con me per viali di azzalee Senz'avvenire e con le idee piu' chiare Non sara' facile pero' malgrado quello che diro' Negare il tempo che non puo' tornare Quando la nostra vita in due Progetti nuovi non avra' Avremo un libro da poter aprire Memorie scritte insieme a te Senza concluderle perche' Solo il finale manchera' ancora...
Quando il mio tempo sfiorera' La soglia dell'eternita' E qualche cosa mi dira' ci siamo Quando guardandoti vedro' Che senza il nostro amore no Non avrai piu' quei giorni tuoi di prima Quando piu' calmo sembrero' E la tua mano cerchero' Perche' il mio polso battera' piu' piano Dopo aver accettato dio Prima di andarmene lo so' Un'altra volta se potro' Io ti diro' come un addio Ti amo...
Houses In Motion Composer(s): David Byrne; Brian Eno; Chris Frantz; Jerry Harrison; Tina Weymouth Performer(s): Talking Heads; Phish; Helen White
For a long time I felt without style or grace Wearing shoes with no socks in cold weather I knew my heart was in the right place I knew Id be able to do these things
And as we watch him digging his own grave It is important to know that was where hes at He cant afford to stop...that is what he believes Hell keep on digging for a thousand years
Im walking a line - Im thining about empty motion Im walking a line - just barely enough to be living Get outa the way - no time to begin This isnt the time - so nothing was done Not talking about - not many at all Im turning around - no trouble at all You notice theres nothing around you, around you Im walking a line - divide and dissolve
Never get to say much, never get to talk Tell us a little bit, but not too much Right about then, is where she gives up She has closed her eyes, she has given up hope
Im walking a line - I hate to be dreaming in motion Im walking a line - just barely enough to be living Get outa the way - no time to begin This isnt the time - so nothing was done Not talking about - not many at all Im turning around - no trouble at all Im keeping my fingers behind me, hind me Im walking a line - divide and dissolve
I turn myself around, Im moving backwards and forwards Im moving twice as much as I was before Ill keep on digging to the center of the earth Ill be down in there moving the in the room...
Im walking a line - visiting houses in motion Im walking a line - just barely enough to be living Get outa the way - no time to begin This isnt the time - so nothing was done Not talking about - not many at all Im turning around - no trouble at all Two different houses surround you, round you Im walking a line - divide and dissolve
À Ma Chance Composer(s): J. Gibson - T. King - I. Mack - Danyel Gérard Performer(s): Dalida
Je t'ai cherché depuis longtemps, tu sais Je t'ai rêvé depuis longtemps, c'est vrai Dans mon cur chaque matin, perdu M'était en moi comme un chagrin, de plus Et j'ai pleuré plus qu'à mon tour, parfois Le temps est lent quand on est sans joie J'ai passé toute ma vie désemparée Mais je me suis toujours dit que tu viendrais
Car à ma chance j'ai fait confiance On ne peut pas toujours souffrir D'être sans souvenir J'ai passé toute ma vie désemparée Mais je me suis toujours dit que tu viendrais
Je t'ai cherché depuis longtemps, tu sais Je t'ai rêvé depuis longtemps, c'est vrai Dans mon cur chaque matin, perdu M'était en moi comme un chagrin, de plus Et j'ai pleuré plus qu'à mon tour, parfois Le temps est lent quand on est sans joie Tu vois que j'avais raison de t'espérer Et qu'à l'unisson on s'aimerait
Car à ma chance j'ai fait confiance On ne peut pas toujours souffrir D'être sans souvenir J'ai passé toute ma vie désemparée Mais je me suis toujours dit que tu viendrais
Car à ma chance j'ai fait confiance Car à ma chance j'ai fait confiance

Pongo en tus manos abiertas mi guitarra de cantor martillo de los mineros arado del labrador
Recabarren, Luis Emilio Recabarren Simplemente, doy las gracias por tu luz Con el viento, con el viento de la pampa tu voz sopla por el centro y por el sur
Arbol de tanta esperanza naciste en medio del sol tu fruto madura y canta hacia la liberacion
House On Haunted Hill Composer(s): Richard Loring; Richard Kayne
There's a house on Haunted Hill Where everything's lonely and still (Lonely and still) And the ghost of a sigh When we whispered "Goodbye" Lingers on And each night gives a heart broken cry
There's a house on Haunted Hill Where love walked There's a strange silent chill (Strange silent chill) There are memories that yearn For our hearts to return And a promise we failed to fulfil
But we'll never go back No, we'll never go back To the house on Haunted Hill

I'd like to know when she's not with me if she's still true to me I'd like to know when we're kissing does she feel just what I feel and how am I to know it's really real
Oh, tell me where, the answer lies is it in her kiss or in her eyes it's a lover's question I'd like to know
I'd like to know when she's not with me if she's still true to me I'd like to know when we're kissing does she feel just what I feel and how am I to know it's really real

How gentle is the rain That falls softly on the meadow Birds high above in the trees Serenade the flowers with their melodies oh oh oh See there beyond the hill The bright color of the rainbow Some magic from above Made this day for us Just to fall in love Now I belong to you From this day until forever Just love me tenderly And I'll give to you every part of me oh oh oh Don't ever make me cry Through long lonely nights without love Be always true to me Kept it stay in your heart eternally Someday we shall return to this place upon The meadow We'll walk out in the rain Hear the bird's above sing once again oh oh oh
You'll hold me in your arms And say once again, you love me And if your love is true Everything will be just as wonderful
You'll hold me in your arms And say once again, you love me And if your love is true Everything will be just as wonderful
House Of Love Composer(s): Selwyn Brown; David Hinds Performer(s): Steel Pulse
We've had our differences Now it's time to patch things up We've been through trying times Though the going got so rough Give thanks and praise that we have made it Making a new start I know a place for you baby Deep inside my heart
We're on that magic road We need eachother so Never to let go It's love for ever more
Chorus
Our joy is living in a house of love This kind of love you can't get enough Our joy is living in a house of love This kind of love you can't get enough
So much wasted time On who that it was to blame And now that we've both realised Before it was too late This time around yes we can make it I feel it in the air I'm coming home to a special lady She'll be waiting
Chorus
House of Love House of Love House of Love House of Love House of Love
This adoration yes is safe and sound my friend Compassion built on solid ground Oh it's joy for both of us to reconcile Oh yeah under one roof together side by side
We're on that magic road We need eachother so Never to let go It's love for ever more
Chorus
This a house of love Can't get enough Can't get enough
A Lover Sings Composer(s): Billy Bragg First release by: Billy Bragg - 1984
You and I are victims of a love That lost a lot in the translation When I think of all the time that I spent Sitting on the edge of your bed in anticipation Of you giving in and us living in sin
A hot day, the smell of hairspray And the sound of a shower running softly It's things like this that remind me of how I felt The first time you came back for coffee The way you took it amazed me
Walking in the park, kissing in the dark And my head against your pillow Late at night a lover sings Adam and eve are finding out all about love I say adam and eve are finding out all about love
There is no real substitute For a ball struck squarely and firmly And you're the kind of girl who wants to Open up the bottle of pop Too early in the journey Our love went flat just like that
It doesn't matter the colour of the car But what goes on beneath the bonnet Is there a flag that flies above your heart And is my name writ there upon it Wedding cake and toothache Equals love and pain
Walking in the park, kissing on the carpet And your tights around your ankles Late at night a lover thinks of these things Adam and eve are finding out all about love I say adam and eve are finding out all about love Adam and eve are finding out all about Adam and eve are finding out all about love Teresa and steve are finding out all about love
House Of Gold Composer(s): Hank Williams Performer(s): Hank Williams
People steal, they cheat and lie For wealth and what it will buy But don't they know on the Judgment Day That gold and silver will melt away
I'd rather be in a deep dark grave And know that my poor soul was saved Than to live in this world in a house of gold And deny my God, and doom my soul
What good is gold, and silver too If your heart's not good and true Sinner, hear me when I say Fall down on your knees and pray
I'd rather be in a deep dark grave And know that my poor soul was saved Than to live in this world in a house of gold And deny my God, and doom my soul
A Lovely Way To Spend An Evening Composer(s): Harold Adamson - Jimmy McHugh Performer(s): Frank Sinatra and multiple other artists
This is a lovely way to spend an evening Can't think of anything I'd rather do This is a lovely way to spend an evening Can't think of anyone as lovely as you A casual stroll thru a garden A kiss by a lazy lagoon Catching a breath of moonlight Humming our favorite tune This is a lovely way to spend an evening I want to save all my nights and spend them with youThis is a lovely way to spend an evening Can't think of anything I'd rather do This is a lovely way to spend an evening Can't think of anyone as lovely as you A casual stroll thru a garden A kiss by a lazy lagoon Catching a breath of moonlight Humming our favorite tune This is a lovely way to spend an evening I want to save all my nights and spend them with you

A Love Worth Waiting For Composer(s): Stewart Leathwood - Gary Sulsh Performer(s): Shakin' Stevens
If you should ever want to be set free If you're not certain your future lies with me I'll let you go girl until your heart is sure It's a love worth waiting for
Now I won't stop you from leaving 'cos I know The way to keep you would be to let you go And I'm prepared to wait a thousand years or more It's a love worth waiting for
If you should leave me, oh please remember In my heart there's a fire, a flame of desire for your charms I'll keep alive this glowing ember A love that will burn until you're back in my arms
You know, my darling, I need you here with me But only to stay, dear, 'cos it's where you want to be 'Cos I'm prepared to wait a thousand years or more It's a love worth waiting for

House Of Blue Lights Composer(s): Don Raye; Freddie Slack Performer(s): Chuck Berry; and various other artists
Lace up your boots and we'll broom on down To a knocked out shack on the edge of town There's an eight beat combo that just won't quit Keep walkin' 'til you see a blue light lit Fall in there and we'll see some sights At the house of blue lights There's fryers and broilers and Detroit barbeque ribs But the treat of the treats is when they serve you all those fine eight beats You'll want to spend the rest of your nights Down at the house The house of blue lights
We'll have a time and we'll cut some rug While we dig those tunes like they should be dug It's a real home comin' for all the cats Just trilly down a path of welcome mats Fall in there and we'll see some sights At the house of blue lights
A Love Until The End Of Time Composer(s): Carol Connors - Lee Holdridge Performer(s): Plácido Domingo; Bronn Journey
I love you with a heart That knows no one but you A love I never thought I'd find A love that comes but once and Never comes again A love until the end of time
I'd give you all the love I have in me to give If I could only make you mine I love you with a love I've never known before A love until the end of time
I can't believe that you're not unreal You're everything I wanted you to be I always knew someday that I would find A love like ours until the end of time
I love you with a heart that knows no other love A love I can't believe it mine Now that I've find you I will never let you go From now until the end of time
I can't believe that you were not unreal You're everything I wanted you to be I always know someday that I would find A love until the end of time

A Love Tale Of Alsace Lorraine Composer(s): Lou Davis - J. Fred Coots Performer(s): Ted White's Collegians and multiple other artists
A boy, a girl, a glance Two eyes that met by chance There came a war romance I'm told And here's the story That's marked by fate Of love and glory, they still relate
They kissed while under a blanket of moon beams A Love Tale of Alsace Lorraine They kissed and fashioned a castle of June dreams A Love Tale of Alsace Lorraine To arms, to battle, a stifled groan In memory's hallway she walks alone That's why his flowers are fragrant And freshened with tear drops A Love Tale of Alsace Lorraine They rain
In dreams the martial beat Of soldiers in the street And then she runs to meet her boy She may be yearning, she offers prayer He's not returning, he waits out there
They kissed while under a blanket of moon beams A Love Tale of Alsace Lorraine They kissed and fashioned a castle of June dreams A Love Tale of Alsace Lorraine To arms, to battle, a stifled groan In memry's hallway she walks alone That's why his flowers are fragrant And freshened with tear drops A Love Tale of Alsace Lorraine They rain
