The Southern Sky Composer(s): Killing Joke Performer(s): Killing Joke
Peace at the break of dawn, mist on the shore Time is healing everything, time is standing still A voice, that is singing in my head With the breeze, the waves, the sea As we start to move as one
Down from the hills, into the forest Walking on sand, into the water I've been dreaming - islands on my mind
Down from the hills, into the forest Walking on sand, into the water I've been dreaming - under a southern sky
Bright are the scented flowers, many shades of green Water from the purest spring - man is finding wealth Down by the clearing in glades of fern and palm Invocations rising from servants of the Star And walk with the breeze, the waves, the earth As we move in unison
All the seeds blowing further to the south Continuity when all's said and done All the seeds blowing further to the south Continuity when all's said and done
Walk Between Raindrops Composer(s): Donald Fagen Performer(s): Donald Fagen; and various other artists
A shadow crossed the blue Miami sky As we hit the causeway by the big hotels We fought now I can't remember why After all the words were said and tears were gone We vowed we'd never say goodbye
When we kissed we could hear the sound of thunder As we watched the regulars rush the big hotels We kissed again as the showers swept the Florida shore You opened your umbrella But we walked between the raindrops back to your door
In my dreams I can hear the sound of thunder I can see the causeway by the big hotels That happy day we'll find each other on that Florida shore You'll open your umbrella And we'll walk between the raindrops back to your door
A Sound I Never Heard
Composer(s): F. Carillo - G. Kooymans
Performer(s): Golden Earring
I'm kicking down the road
I got a top hat on
With my head in overload
I heard a radio song
There was something in the air
I think I know it well
Watchin' everybody stare
You know I never tell
You knocked me to the floor
With a sound I never heard
With a sound I never heard
I was walking down the street
Saw you sneakin' out your house
Know who you're gonna meet
In the criminal hour
Saw you slip right through the door
You whispered just a word
Then you knocked me to the floor
With a sound I've never heard
Walk Away Renee Composer(s): Michael Brown; Bob Calilli; Tony Sansone Performer(s): Left Banke; and various other artists
And when I see the sign that points one way The lot we used to pass by every day Just walk away Renee You won't see me follow you back home The empty sidewalks on my block are not the same You're not to blame From deep inside the tears I'm forced to cry From deep inside the pain I chose to hide Just walk away Renee You won't see me follow you back home Now as the rain beats down upon my weary eyes For me it cries Your name and mine inside a heart upon a wall Still find a way to haunt me though they're so small Just walk away Renee You won't see me follow you back home Now as the rain beats down upon my weary eyes For me it cries Just walk away Renee You won't see me follow you back home The empty sidewalks on my block are not the same You're not to blame
Walk Away From Love Composer(s): Charles Kipps Performer(s): David Ruffin;
and various other artists
(I'm gonna walk away from a love) (gonna walk away, gonna walk away) (I'm gonna walk away from a love) (gonna walk away, gonna walk away) (gonna walk away, gonna walk away)
It's not that I don't love you You know how much I do And it's not that I've found someone To take the place of you
It's just the fear that lives within me Everytime you touch my hand And a dread that shakes my body That even I don't understand
So I'm leaving (I'm leaving, yes I am) This time I'm playin' it smart (I'm leaving, yes I am) I'm gonna walk away from a love (walk away from love) Before love breaks my heart
(I'm gonna walk away from a love) (gonna walk away, gonna walk away) (gonna walk away, gonna walk away)
Ooh, you're clinging to me tighter Then you ever have before, I don't understand it But I know it's gonna take everything I got To keep walkin' out the door
But those arms you got around me We'll let me go someday And I'd rather leave you holding on Than pushing me away
So I'm leaving (I'm leaving, yes I am) This time I'm playin' it smart (I'm leaving, yes I am) I'm gonna walk away from a love (walk away from love) Before love breaks my heart
(I'm gonna walk away from a love) (gonna walk away, gonna walk away) Oh baby It's not that I don't want you, You know how much I do, oh baby (I'm gonna walk away from a love) (gonna walk away, gonna walk away) (gonna walk away, gonna walk away) I'm leaving, baby (I'm gonna walk away from a love) (gonna walk away, gonna walk away) This time I'm playin' it smart Oh, don't break my heart (gonna walk away, gonna walk away) Oh, I'm walkin' away baby (I'm gonna walk away from a love) (gonna walk away, gonna walk away)
A Song To Mama Composer(s): Helen Carter - June Carter Cash - Glenn Phillip Jones Performer(s): The Carter Family
Dear, dear Mama, now that we're older We can see the load on your tired old shoulders Mama you're a trooper, Mama you're a soldier Mama, you mean a lot to me
She always got me out of bed early Sunday morn' And took me out to church where I could learn about Lord Mama tried to tell me how my life was gonna be But I was young and wild, and it was hard for me to see
Dear Mama, now that we're older We can see the load on your tired old shoulders Mama you're a trooper, Mama you're a soldier Mama, you mean a lot to me
(Mama, you always taught me right from wrong when I was growin' up And it's a pity that most people like me have to try everything for themselves I realize now that you always knew just what you were talkin' about And mama for all that hard work you did And for the sacrifices you made for us I just wanna say, thanks a lot)
Dear Mama, now that we are older We can see the load on your tired old shoulders Mama you're a trooper, Mama you're a soldier Mama, you mean a lot to me Mama, you mean a lot to me
Walk Away Composer(s): Elmer Bernstein; Carolyn Leigh Performer(s): Frank Sinatra; and various other artists
Walk away, please go Before you throw your life away A life that I could share for just a day We should have met some years ago For your sake I say Walk away, just go
Walk away, and live A life that's full With no regret Don't look back at me Just try to forget Why build a dream that cannot come true So be strong, reach the stars now Walk away, walk on
If I heard your voice I'd beg you to stay So don't say a word Just run, run away
Goodbye my love My tears will fall Now that you've gone I can't help but cry But I must go on I'm sad that I have been searching so long You, I love you but told you Walk away, walk on, walk on
Song I'd Like To Sing Composer(s): Kris Kristofferson Performer(s): Kris Kristofferson & Rita Coolidge
(Na Na Na Na Na Na Na....) There's a song I'd like to sing Do you know the song I mean? It don't always sound the same But it's always good to sing Maybe it don't mean a thing It's a pretty little tune It's a song I'd like to sing And I'd love to sing with you And we can get to know each other Like a sister and a brother Like a father and a mother Like a woman and a man We can sing along together Just enyoying 'til it's over It don't need to last forever If we want it to it can
Walk And Talk It Composer(s): Lou Reed Performer(s): Lou Reed
I got horrors in my luney tunes I got dreams and you do, too I got ten wheel drive, pick you up into your ears
I got retake carbine and in my eyelids gear I got no one to love and no one to fear
You better walk it, and talk it less you loose that beat You better loose yourself, mama And rock yourself right off of your feet
If you're moving too fast, don't you want it to last You better walk it, talk it You better walk it as you talk less you loose that beat
I got dimes in my shoes, real nice I got bells that are laid on ice I got dreams, let me mix it with a little gin
I got cruel when I told you woman, I'm hard But me is the one thing baby, you ain't got
You better walk it, and talk it less you loose that beat You better loose yourself, mama And rock yourself right off of your feet
Yeah, if you're moving too fast, don't you want it to last You better walk it, talk it You better walk it as you talk less you loose that beat
You better walk it, and talk it less you loose that beat You better loose yourself, mama And rock yourself right off of your feet
Yeah, if you're moving too fast, now don't you want it to last You better walk it, talk it You better walk it as you talk less you loose that beat Ah - ha - ha
A Song For You ((Italian Version: Quasi Come Musica (by Mina) - 1975)) Composer(s): Leon Russell First release by: Leon Russell - 1970 Covered by multiple other artists
I've been so many places in my life and time I've sung a lot of songs I've made some bad rhyme I've acted out my love in stages With ten thousand people watching But we're alone now and I'm singing this song for you
I know your image of me is what I hope to be I've treated you unkindly but darlin' can't you see There's no one more important to me Darlin' can't you please see through me Cause we're alone now and I'm singing this song for you
You taught me precious secrets of the truth witholding nothing You came out in front and I was hiding But now I'm so much better and if my words don't come together Listen to the melody cause my love is in there hiding
I love you in a place where there's no space or time I love you for in my life you are a friend of mine And when my life is over Remember when we were together We were alone and I was singing this song for you
You taught me precious secrets of the truth witholding nothing You came out in front and I was hiding But now I'm so much better and if my words don't come together Listen to the melody cause my love is in there hiding
I love you in a place where there's no space or time I love you for in my life you are a friend of mine And when my life is over Remember when we were together We were alone and I was singing this song for you We were alone and I was singing this song for you
Walk Alone Composer(s): Jerry Pellegrino Jr.; Terry Philips; Lou A. Reed; James N. Smith Performer(s): The Velvet Underground
When you walk, you know you're gonna walk alone When you talk, you're always gonna talk alone All alone, all alone, you know you're gonna talk alone All alone, all alone, you know you're gonna talk alone When you make love, you know you're gonna love it alone Yeah when you make love, you know you're gonna love it alone All alone, all alone, you know you're gonna love it alone All alone, all alone, you know you're gonna love it alone
Honey when you die, you know you're gonna die alone When you die, you know you're gonna die alone All alone, all alone, you know you're gonna die alone All alone, all alone, you know you're gonna die alone
When you dream, you know you're gonna dream alone When you dream, in your mind all alone All alone, all alone, you know you're gonna do it alone All alone, all alone, you know you're gonna do it alone
Quasi Come Musica ((Adapted from: A Song For You (by Leon Russell) - 1970)) Composer(s): Leon Russell - Daiano - Gino Paoli Performer(s): Mina - 1975
Se fossi solamente un'abitudine il caldo che ti resta dopo che il sole va e nuvole che il vento unisce la sbronza che non può passare potrei davvero io non amarti più Se fossi come un sogno che non ricordi più fiore dentro il libro di matematica la quiete dopo la tempesta stanca fine di una festa potrei davvero io non amarti più Ma tu non sei mai niente non somigli proprio a niente sei fatto per me ma non so come Sei sempre molto meglio di quel che mi viene in mente quasi come musica La tua vita sì è insieme a me Ma non so come dire quello che c'è tra noi cercando posso dire le frasi che tu vuoi ma non sarà abbastanza io non so proprio vivere senza quasi una musica la vita insieme a te Quasi una musica la vita insieme a te
Now I know, how it feels when you walk out that door Now I know,how it feels when you don't love me anymore I don't care if this is what is meant to be I don't care, as long as you come back to me
Oeee I have to But I don't want to I just have to (And I need to) Sing a little song for you Sing a little song,sing a little song for you
Now I know,how it feels when someone's givin up on you Now I know,how it feels when you don't care about the thinks I do I had hoped,hoped you would always be near But I'll go, go for whatever's meant to be
Oeee I have to But I don't want to I just have to (And I need to) Sing a little song for you Sing a little song, sing a little song for you
Oh listen than here's my voice Listen what I've got to say Other think than there's another choise But to sing my troubles away And try to live my life day after day I'm singin my troubles away And try to live my life day after day
Walk A Mile In My Shoes Composer(s): Joe South Performer(s): Elvis Presley
If I could be you, if you could be me For just one hour, if we could find a way To get inside each other's mind If you could see you through my eyes Instead your own ego I believe you'd be I believe you'd be surprised to see That you've been blind
Walk a mile in my shoes just walk a mile in my shoes Before you abuse, criticize and accuse Then walk a mile in my shoes
Now if we spend the day Throwin' stones at one another 'Cause I don't think, 'cause I don't think Or wear my hair the same way you do Well, I may be common people But I'm your brother And when you strike out You're tryin' to hurt me It's hurtin' you, Lord how mercy
Now there are people on reservations And out in the ghetto And brother there, but, for the grace of God Go you and I, If I only had wings of a little angel Don't you know, I'd fly To the top of a mountain And then I'd cry, cry, cry
A Song For You Composer(s): Gram Parsons First release by: Gram Parsons & Emmylou Harris - 1972
Oh my land is like a wild goose Wanders all around everywhere Trembles and it shakes till every tree is loose It rolls the meadows and it rolls the nails So take me down to your dance floor And I wont mind the people when they stare Paint a different color on your front door And tomorrow we will still be there
Jesus built a ship to sing a song to It sails the rivers and it sails the tide Some of my friends don't know who they belong to Some can't get a single thing to work inside So take me down to your dance floor And I wont mind the people when they stare Paint a different color on your front door And tomorrow we will still be there
I loved you every day and now I'm leaving And I can see the sorrow in your eyes I hope you know a lot more than you're believing Just so the sun don't hurt ou when you cry So take me down to your dance floor And I wont mind the people when they stare Paint a different color on your front door And tomorrow we will still be there And tomorrow we will still be there
Wako-Shaman Composer(s): Miguel Bosé; Ross Cullum; Sandy McLelland; Andy Ross; Toulson-Clarke Performer(s): Miguel Bosé
Érase una vez un sabio que Dijo ser profeta y guardar El Secreto Poder Que quisieras tener Era el Gran Shaman
Era un mago de la tribu Babel Tigre-halcón en otra vida fue Y era el Hombre- sol Que entre el Bien y el mal Se hizo con la Verdad
Wako Shaman Háblame de otro mañana Wako Shaman Nueva Era cambiare Wako Shaman Todo el oro de mi alma
Leyó el Canto de los Pájaros Habló de algún camino Kármico... "Quién no quiera oír no se ha de salvar en la Hora Final...
Esta tierra así tan única que es dominio de los Bárbaros antes o después se tendrá que romper y no va a tardar..."
Por el Tótem Sagrado Mi promesa cumpliré A otros tiempos antiguos Viajaría, volvería Y con al Ciencia aprendida Madre Tierra déjame Que te cuide como sé Que te quiera como sé...
Y ante mil Burdos Babilónicos Como vino, desapareció Y el planeta tembló... Un gran fuego arrasó Con quien no quiso escuchar...
A Song For While I'm Away Composer(s): Phil Lynott Performer(s): Thin Lizzy
These words I wrote, play and sing to you Do not convey the love I brought and bring to you For this is a song for while I'm away To say all the things I'd love to say
You are my life, my everything, you're all I have You are my hopes, my dreams, my world come true You're all I have Please heed me now these words I have to say
Now I'm headed for the border You see this song it ends right at the start I swore when I was younger No one would win my heart
And far away hills look greener still But soon they'll all slip away It's then I'll be returning And I'll be coming home to stay
You are my life, my everything, you're all I have You are my hopes, my dreams, my world come true You're all I have Please heed me now these words I have to say
Wake Up, Irene
Composer(s): Weldon Allard; Johnny Hathcock
Performer(s): Hank Thompson;
The Maddox Brothers & Rose
For months and months and months around the country
Everybody sang Irene goodnight
But she wouldn't go to bed no matter what they said
Though everybody tried with all their might
She stayed awake while steel guitars were a going
In every honky-tonk she could be seen
But she finally went to bed and covered up her head
And now there's not a thing can wake Irene
Wake up Irene you've slept too long
Wake up Irene it's time to move along
Wake up Irene and pay for your bed
Wake up Irene or folks will think your dead
Lot's of guitar pickers by the dozen
Sang goodnight Irene all night and day
And even Crosby too with his bobobabobedo
Tried to get Irene to hit the hay
Well I guess they finally sang her off to slumber
They must have tried a million times or more
But oh my aching back when she finally hit the sack
Man you ought to hear that women snore
Wake up Irene you've slept too long
Wake up Irene it's time to move along
Wake up Irene and pay for your bed
Wake up Irene or folks will think your dead
