Absolutely Right Composer(s): Les Emmerson Performer(s): Five Man Electrical Band; AC-Rock
I'm knockin' on your door So you let me in I swear I won't be the way I was before Don't you know that I was thinking About what you told me Rollin' it over in my mind And much to my surprise I find That you were absolutely right You've been right all along You're absolutely right and I'm wrong Second time around should be easy Break down the wall between me and you So we can see completely How easy love can be I know it was you who said It would be me who'd come crawlin' Back to you upon my knees And you were absolutely right You've been right all along You're absolutely right and I'm wrong I wish that you could see Oh how bad I want to be Oh the kind of man to who You'd give your key If you'd let me in the room again Come supper time we'll be sittin' By the fire this evening Drinkin' homemade wine We can laugh and dance and sing And play and love the night away
We Three (My Echo, My Shadow, And Me) Composer(s): Nelson Cogane; Sammy Mysels; Dick Robertson Performer(s): The Ink Spots; and various other artists
We three, we're all alone Living in a memory My echo, my shadow, and me
We three, we're not a crowd We're not even company My echo, my shadow, and me
What good is the moonlight The silvery moonlight that shines above? I walk with my shadow I talk with my echo but where is the one I love? We three, we'll wait for you Even till eternity my echo, my shadow, and me
We three we're all alone Seems like we're living in a memory That's my echo my shadow and me We three we ain't no crowd Fact is we ain't even company That's my echo my shadow and me You know I been wondering-what good is the moonlight that silvery moonlight that shines way, way up above? Yeah, I walk with my shadow, I talk with my echo but where is that gal that I love? We three, we'll wait for you Even till eternity My echo, my shadow, and me
Absolute Beginners Composer(s): Paul Weller Performer(s): The Jam
In echoed steps I walked across an empty dream I looked across this world, there was no one to be seen This empty feeling turned and quietly walked away I saw no warmth in life , no love was in my eyes I stared a century thinking this will never change As I hesitated, time rushed onwards without me Too scared to break the spell, too small to take a fall But the Absolute luck is, love is in our hearts
I lost some hours thinking of it I need the strength to go and get what I want I lost a lifetime thinking of it and lost an era daydreaming like I do
I stared a century thinking this would never change As I hesitated, time marched onwards without me Too scared to break the spell, too small to take a fall But the Absolute luck is, love is in our hearts
In echoed steps you walk across an empty dream But look around this world, there's millions to be seen Come see the tyrants panic see their crumbling empires fall Then tell 'em we don't fight for fools, 'cos love is in our hearts!
I lost some hours thinking of it I need the strength to go and get what I want I lost a lifetime thinking of it and lost an era daydreaming like I do
You can lose some hours thinking of it You need the strength to go and get what you want You can lose a lifetime thinking of it And lose an era daydreaming like I do
We Should Be Together Composer(s): Walter Bullock; Harold Spina Performer(s): Shirley Temple; Maria Muldaur
We should be together Like the walls and ceiling Like a door and doorknob Like the hat on your knob Like butler goes with doorbell Keyhole with key I think we'll get by If you'll stick with me
We should be together Like the frame and picture Like shoes and stockings Like the clocks tick tockings Like tap and toe, like high and low Stop and go honey Your a perfect lady Your a regular guy We should be together, you and I
We should be together Like bread and butter We should be together Like putt and putter Like corned beef with cabbage And lamb with stew How lucky I am that I go with you
We should be together Like rhyme and reason Like a coat and muffler When the weather's freezin' Like June and Moon In every popular song Baby, your a cup of coffee Your a peachy pie We should be together, you and I
Absolute Beginners Composer(s): David Bowie First release by: David Bowie - 1986 Covered by multiple other artists
I've nothing much to offer There's nothing much to take I'm an absolute beginner And I'm absolutely sane As long as we're together The rest can go to hell I absolutely love you But we're absolute beginners With eyes completely open But nervous all the same
If our love song Could fly over mountains Could laugh at the ocean/sail over heartaches second time Just like the films There's no reason To feel all the hard times To lay down the hard lines It's absolutely true
Nothing much could happen Nothing we can't shake Oh we're absolute beginners With nothing much at stake As long as you're still smiling There's nothing more I need I absolutely love you But we're absolute beginners But if my love is your love We're certain to succeed
If our love song Could fly over mountains Could laugh at the ocean/sail over heartaches second time Just like the films There's no reason To feel all the hard times To lay down the hard lines It's absolutely true
I remember the sun beating down Across my back The taste of olives and pleasures that You taught me And we broke bread and then we drank Cheap white wine Memories of happiness frozen for all time
I hear you crying in my heart Absent friends shall live by love Remember places of my past Absent friends shall live by love And the dead shall live again Absent friends shall live by Love...love...love...love
And i remember laughing so much we cried You knew my every thought, there was Nothing i could hide We celebrated moons we marvelled at The night sky With flute and drum and pen we were Grateful for our lives
I hear you crying in my heart Absent friends shall live by love Remember places of my past Absent friends shall live by love And the dead shall live again Absent friends shall live by Love...love...love...love
I hear you crying in my heart Absent friends shall live by love Remember places of my past Absent friends shall live by love And the dead shall live again Absent friends shall live by Love...love...love...love
We Saw The Sea Composer(s): Irving Berlin Performer(s): Fred Astaire; and various other artists
We joined the Navy to see the world And what did we see? We saw the sea We saw the Pacific and the Atlantic But the Atlantic isn't romantic And the Pacific isn't what it's cracked up to be
We joined the Navy to do or die But we didn't do and we didn't die We were much too busy looking at the ocean and the sky And what did we see? We saw the sea We saw the Atlantic and the Pacific But the Pacific isn't terrific And the Atlantic isn't what it's cracked up to be
They tell us that the Admiral Is as nice as he can be But we never see the Admiral Because the Admiral has never been to sea
We joined the Navy to see the girls And what did we see? We saw the sea Instead of a girl or two in a taxi We were compelled to look at the Black Sea Seeing the Black Sea isn't what it's cracked up to be
Sailing, sailing home again To see the girls upon the village green Then across the foam again To see the other seas we haven't seen
We owe the Navy an awful lot For they taught us how to do the Sailor's Hornpipe And they showed us how to tie a sailor's knot But more than that, they showed us the sea We never get seasick sailing the ocean We don't object to feeling the motion We're never seasick but we are awful sick of sea
Absence Makes The Heart Grow Fonder Composer(s): Samuel M. Lewis - Harry Warren - Joseph Young Performer(s): Dean Martin; The Ames Brothers; Russ Morgan
If you should leave me I know it would grieve me So honey please remember Absence makes the heart grow fonder For somebody else
I love you dearly I'm yours sincerely But honey please remember Absence makes the heart grow fonder For somebody else
When the cat's away the mice will play I don't say I will but still I may I may be blue away from you And then again I may be gay
When I get fretful I get forgetful So honey please remember Absence makes the heart grow fonder For somebody else
When the cat's away the mice will play I don't say I will but still I may I may be blue away from you And then again I may be gay
When I get fretful I get forgetful So honey please remember Absence makes the heart grow fonder For somebody else For somebody else
We Said Hello, Goodbye (Don't Look Back) Composer(s): Phil Collins Performer(s): Phil Collins
We said goodbye to a dear old friend And we packed our bags and left feeling sad It's the only way We said hello as we turned the key A new roof over our heads Gave a smile It's the only way Only way Turn your head And don't look back Set your sails for a new horizon Don't turn around don't look down Oh there's life across the tracks And you know it's really not surprising It gets better when you get there oh Well it really don't matter much where you are Cause home is in your heart It's a feeling that you wake with one day Some people key p running all their life And still find they haven't gone too far They don't see it's the feeling inside - the feeling inside oh Turn your head and don't look back Just set your sails for a new horizon Don't turn around don't look down Oh there's life across the tracks And you know it's really not surprising It gets better when you get there We said hello as we turned the key A new roof over our heads Gave a smile - it's the only way
We pretend that the end hasn't found us And we cling to the things left behind us Line by line, every rhyme has been written And time left us here unaware
In our eyes gentle sighs went unspoken Yes, the days will remain unforgotten Love went by and we tried once too often To save all the dreams that we share
And here we stand, the silent strangers Afraid to ask which way to go Our empty hands at last surrender The reason why we'll never know
We pretend that the end of our rainbow Cannot die if it lies like a shadow Willows bend when the wind blows to conquer The leaves that have withered away
We can't run to the sun like we used to Nothing lasts from the past that we once knew You and I can deny that it's over And yet we must face it somehow
Yet here we stand, the silent strangers Afraid to ask which way to go Our empty hands at last surrender The reason why we'll never know
We pretend that the end hasn't found us And we cling to the things left behind us Line by line, every rhyme has been written And time left us here unaware
In our eyes gentle sighs went unspoken Yes, the days will remain unforgotten Love went by and we tried once too often To save all the dreams that we share
Seinem Geiste bekenne Ich Mich Ein Sehnen verzehret sein schönes Gesicht Das ermattet von Güte beschattet allmächtig ist
Sein Körper bewegt sich nicht Im Träume sich endlich sein Zwingen vergißt
Den heulenden Jubel erkenne Ich nicht Der Mir den heiligen Frieden zerbricht Sein schweigender Mund, seine schlafende Brust Harren zärtlich der süßen Lust
Sein Körper bewegt sich nicht Im Träume sich endlich sein Zwingen vergißt

Abre Tu Ventana Composer(s): Victor Jara Performer(s): Victor Jara
Maria, abre la ventana y deja que el sol alumbre por todos los rincones de tu casa Maria, mira hacia afuera nuestra vida no ha sido hecha para rodearla de sombras y tristezas
Maria ya ves no basta nacer, crecer, amar para encontrar la felicidad Paso lo mas cruel ahora tus ojos se llenan de luz y tus manos de miel tus manos de miel tus manos de miel Maria...
Tu risa brota como la mañana brota en el jardin Maria Tu risa brota como la mañana brota en el jardin Maria
(We Must Have Been) Out Of Our Minds Composer(s): Melba Montgomery Performer(s): Bobby Bare; and various other artists
We said our goodbyes long ago Never thinking we'd miss each other so All the memories we can't leave behind Oh, we must have been out of our minds
I thought I loved another, not you How foolish I thought the same, too They both turned out to be the wrong kind Oh, we must have been out of our minds
Let's forgive and forget the past we've known And reap together the wild seeds we've sown Surely they can forgive us and find That we must have been out of our minds
I thought I loved another, not you How foolish I thought the same, too They both turned out to be the wrong kind Oh, we must have been out of our minds Yes, we must have been out of our minds
abre el mundo ante tus pies abre todo sin querer abre el zen, la vanidad abre la profundidad
abren sexos en tu piel abren cofres si querés abre el fuego si cantás abre el mundo una vez más
abre el roce y el amor se abren paso entre tú y yo abre el miedo y el dolor abrís todo y entro yo
abre un cuerpo, se abre el sol abre dar también perdón abre verse en realidad abre gritar de verdad
abre el rito de la fe abre el riesgo de perder se abre solo mi ataúd abre el plexo en una cruz abre drogas, abre amar abre besos, abre andar abre hablar, abre callar abre el pulso del lugar
abre hacer e imaginar abre nunca interpretar abre toda sensación abre música y color
abre el fin de la razón abre el cielo y el terror abre un poco de piedad abre toda inmensidad
se abre el mundo ante tus pies abre todo sin querer abre al fin la vanidad abre la profundidad
abren sexos en tu piel abre un cofre si querés abre el fuego si cantás abre el mundo una vez más
We Must All Stick Together Composer(s): Ralph Butler; R. Wallace Performer(s): Billy Cotton; Geraldo; Cyril Grantham
When Britain is in danger, when trouble's in the air We all forget our squabbles it's trespassers beware The nation is united when danger looms in sight We march along together and sing with all our might
We must all stick together, all stick together And the clouds will soon roll by We must all stick together, all stick together Never mind the old school tie United we shall stand whatever may befall The richest in the land, the poorest of us all We must all stick together, birds of a feather And the clouds will soon roll by
(We must all stick together, all stick together And the clouds will soon roll by We must all stick together, all stick together Never mind your old school tie)

We Missed You Composer(s): Bill Anderson Performer(s): Kitty Wells; Doyle Lawson
We missed you and we're glad you've come home The hours were never so lonely, my eyes were never so strained From watching and waiting and crying for you And hoping you'd come back again
Me and my heart and my lips and my arms We missed you each day you were gone Me and my heart and my lips and my arms We missed you and we're glad you've come home
I hope against hope you still love me There were so many mem'ries I carried And though you had gone many miles from my side My love followed you every step
Me and my heart and my lips and my arms We missed you each day you were gone Me and my heart and my lips and my arms We missed you and we're glad you've come home
