Weather Report Suite Composer(s): Eric Anderson; John Perry Barlow; Bob Weir Performer(s): Grateful Dead
Winter rain, now tell me why Summers fade, and roses die The answer came The wind and rain
Golden hills, now veiled in grey Summer leaves have blown away Now what remains? The wind and rain
And like a desert spring My lover comes and spreads her wings Knowing, like a song that's born to soar the sky Flowing, flowing 'til the waters all are dry Growing, the loving in her eyes
Circle songs and sands of time Seasons will end in tumbled rhyme And little change, the wind and rain
And like a desert spring My lover comes and spreads her wings Knowing, Like a song that's born to soar the sky Flowing, Flowing 'til the rivers all are dry Growing, the loving in her eyes
Winter gray and falling rain We'll see summer come again Darkness falls and seasons change (gonna happen every time) Same old friends the wind and rain (we'll see summer by and by) Winter gray and falling rain (summers fadeand roses die) We'll see summer come again Like a song that's born to soar the sky
Acapulco Sun Composer(s): Ned Albright - Steven Soles Performer(s): The Monkees
Acapulco sun, leaving work undone Dream about the nighttime till she comes She'll take my hand and walk with me Down along the sea Hear the pretty song she sings for free She sings songs of love so sweet (oh so sweet) And the words she's saying are so simple and complete "I love you, truly do"
Acapulco sun, tells me she's the one Dream about the sunset till she comes She'll take my hand and walk with me Down along the sea Hear the pretty song she sings for free She sings songs of love so sweet (oh so sweet) And the words she's saying are so simple and complete "I love you, truly do"
Acapulco sun, leaving work undone Dream about the nightttime till she comes
"O Paddy dear, and did ye hear the news that's goin' round? The shamrock is by law forbid to grow on Irish ground! No more Saint Patrick's Day we'll keep, his color can't be seen For there's a cruel law ag'in the Wearin' o' the Green"
I met with Napper Tandy, and he took me by the hand And he said, "How's poor old Ireland, and how does she stand?" "She's the most distressful country that ever yet was seen For they're hanging men and women there for the Wearin' o' the Green"
"So if the color we must wear be England's cruel red Let it remind us of the blood that Irishmen have shed And pull the shamrock from your hat, and throw it on the sod But never fear, 'twill take root there, though underfoot 'tis trod
When laws can stop the blades of grass from growin' as they grow And when the leaves in summer-time their color dare not show Then I will change the color too I wear in my caubeen But till that day, please God, I'll stick to the Wearin' o' the Green"
Acapulco Goldie Composer(s): Shel Silverstein Performer(s): Dr. Hook & the Medicine Show
(Hey play the guitars) (I love to hear the guitars play) (Oh I love to sing, I love to sing)
She was dancing when I seen her, in a Mexican cantina In a neighbourhood they call La Zona Roja (hahahaha) She had a child's smile, but she told me, in a while It would take a lot of gold to get to know her (Oh)
Acapulco Goldie, donde did you go You said you'd always hold me But you run away with me Acapulco gold
(Oh that's a terrible thing you did)
I knew there's no-one cuter, then she said she was a puta I said "What does puta mean?" Hmm and so she told me... (Oh no) Then we went to meet a dealer, we smoked and drank tequila Then the lights went out and I guess that's where she rolled me (just like)
Acapulco Goldie, por que did you go? You said you'd always hold me But you vamos away with me Acapulco gold Yes, you run away with me Acapulco gold
(Oh Goldie) (How can you do these things to me?) (Where's my gun?) (Who took my gun?) (On no, I don't feel good) (I don't feel good babe) (Start the guitars) (Start the guitars)

Wear My Ring Around Your Neck Composer(s): Bert Carroll; Russell Moody Performer(s): Elvis Presley; and various other artists
Won't you wear my ring up around your neck To tell the world I'm yours, by heck Let them see your love for me And let them see by the ring around your neck
Won't you wear my ring up around your neck To tell the world I'm yours, by heck Let them know I love you so And let them know by the ring around your neck
They say that going steady is not the proper thing They say that we're too young to know the meaning of a ring I only know I love you and that you love me too So, darling, please do what I ask of you
Won't you wear my ring around your neck To tell the world I'm yours, by heck Let them see your love for me And let them see by the ring around your neck
Won't you wear my ring around your neck To tell the world I'm yours, by heck Let them know I love you so And let them know by the ring around your neck
Je me souviendrai d'Acapulco Et j'entendrai comme un écho Cette musique Et sous d'autres cieux Loin du paradis que l'on trouve ici Je regretterai la volupté L'enchantement des nuits d'été Du pacifique Tous les jours heureux Dont le souvenir Ne saurait mourir
Quand la chanson du vent Se mêle doucement Au bruit de l'océan De ces deux mélodies Naît une symphonie Que jamais on oublie
Je me souviendrai d'Acapulco Et quand voguera mon bateau Loin du Mexique Je n'aurai bientôt Plus qu'un seul désir C'est d'y revenir
Pays, pays d'amour Depuis le premier jour J'ai retrouvé par toi Le bonheur et la joie
Je me souviendrai d'Acapulco Et j'entendrai comme un écho Cette musique Et sous d'autres cieux Loin du paradis que l'on trouve ici Je regretterai la volupté L'enchantement des nuits d'été Du pacifique Tous les jours heureux Dont le souvenir Ne saurait mourir
Sous le soleil couchant C'est un ravissement C'est l'heure des amants Les fleurs ont des couleurs Les femmes une fraîcheur Qu'elles n'ont pas ailleurs
Je me souviendrai d'Acapulco Et quand voguera mon bateau Loin du Mexique Je n'aurai bientôt Plus qu'un seul désir C'est d'y revenir
We, Your Dearest Friends Composer(s): Carly Simon Performer(s): Carly Simon
We, your dearest friends Are having dinner without you We're witty and we use it to be vicious In just another minute We'll be laughing about you To the untrained eye It wouldn't look suspicious
We, your dearest friends Don't really care if you have needs Your hopes and dreams Are trivial by our standards We make fun of how you sing And then we imitate your speech And the stupid things You say we like to slander
But we won't reel you out too far 'Cause after all, we need you for Our ongoing quest
We've bonded here in faithlessness To undermine your happiness Toying with your paranoia Everything you do annoys us It annoys us
We remember how You bought us all those gifts You liked to make us think You were so generous Be careful in the future Of everything you say and do `Cause it can and will be used Against you by us
We your dearest friends Judge you "guilty" Here and now Of thinking you're a star When it's all over Nobody wants you And we the least of all It's been a long time since You had those famous lovers
But we won't reel you out too far `Cause after all, we need you for Our ongoing quest
We've bonded here In faithlessness To undermine your happiness Toying with your paranoia Everything you do annoys us (it annoys the hell out of us)
It's not the straw No, it's the final straw you'll say Finally you've grown a sturdy backbone There'll be no invitation to Your rocky coast this year Your queenly voice will Ice us down the telephone
You'll never guess who's joining us For brandy later on That's right, it's your bête noir from hell That's who Are you worried we might spill the beans Are you worried we might tell About your little visit to the bin when You were cuckoo?
But we won't reel you out too far `Cause after all, we need you for Our ongoing quest
We've bonded here in faithlessness To undermine your happiness Toying with your paranoia Everything you do annoys us It annoys us
Toying with your paranoia
You have an unforgiveable personality Unforgettable, yes We were so happy once in the Garden of The Finzi-Continis Oh, yes we were Never more, never more Here comes the waiter We'll just put it on your house charge You'll never know the difference Never notice
We Work The Black Seam Composer(s): Sting Performer(s): Sting; Pat Kilbride
This place has changed for good Your economic theory said it would It's hard for us to understand We can't give up our jobs the way we should Our blood has stained the coal We tunneled deep inside the nation's soul We matter more than pounds and pence Your economic theory makes no sense
One day in a nuclear age They may understand our rage They build machines that they can't control And bury the waste in a great big hole Power was to become cheap and clean Grimy faces were never seen But deadly for twelve thousand years is carbon fourteen We work the black seam together
The seam lies underground Three million years of pressure packed it down We walk through ancient forest lands And light a thousand cities with our hands Your dark satanic mills Have made redundant all our mining skills You can't exchange a six inch band For all the poisoned streams in Cumberland
One day in a nuclear age They may understand our rage They build machines that they can't control And bury the waste in a great big hole Power was to become cheap and clean Grimy faces were never seen But deadly for twelve thousand years is carbon fourteen We work the black seam together
Our conscious lives run deep You cling onto your mountain while we sleep This way of life is part of me The is no price so only let me be And should the children weep The turning world will sing their souls to sleep When you have sunk without a trace The universe will suck me into place
One day in a nuclear age They may understand our rage They build machines that they can't control And bury the waste in a great big hole Power was to become cheap and clean Grimy faces were never seen But deadly for twelve thousand years is carbon fourteen We work the black seam together
Acalanto Composer(s): Edú Lobo - Chico Buarque First release by: Chico Buarque - 1971 Covered by multiple other artists
É tão cedo, meu irmão Abre os olhos, dorme não Espalha os meus soldados Estraga os meus brinquedos Pode me odiar Nunca mais olhar pra mim Mas não faz Não faz mais Assim
Tão cedo, meu irmão Põe a mão na minha mão Pode fechar meus olhos Alisa os meus cabelos E a quem perguntar Deus, que foi que aconteceu Vou jurar que o teu sangue É meu Eu vou rasgar Meu coração Pra costurar o teu Vou te soprar Esta canção O meu irmão Morreu

Aca Entre Nos Composer(s): Martín Urieta Performer(s): Vicente Fernández & Alejandro Fernández
Por presumir a mis amigos les conte que en el amor ninguna pena me aniquila que pa' probarles de tus besos me olvide y me bastaron unos tragos de tequila
Les platique que me encontre con otro amor y que en sus brazos fui dejando de quererte que te aborrezco desde el dia de tu traicion y que hay momentos que he deseado hasta tu muerte
Aca entre nos quiero que sepas la verdad no te he dejado de adorar alla en mi triste soledad me han dado ganas de gritar salir corriendo y preguntar que es lo que ha sido de tu vida
Aca entre nos siempre te voy a recordar y hoy que a mi lado ya no estas no queda mas que confesar que ya no puedo soportar que estoy odiando sin odiar porque respiro por la herida
We Will Make Love Composer(s): Ronald Hulme Performer(s): Russ Hamilton
(Oh yes we will make love)
When the moon takes the place of the sun in the sky I'll call for my girlie We'll go walkin' by To a place no one knows That's how love goes Now we are alone We will make love Oh yes, we will make love
I wish we could wed But we are too young But one day I know Wedding bells will be rung For you and for me We'll promise to be So faithful and true I love you Oh yes, I love you
Now it's getting late Now we must part But before I go I will leave you my heart So don't shed a tear I'll always be near I'll hold you so tight And I'll kiss you goodnight Oh yes, I'll kiss you goodnight
When I go away Don't ever let your heart go astray `cos my love so true Is only for you So remember you're mine You're mine all the time
When the sun takes the place Of the moon in the sky We'll go on a journey You and I To a far distant land Where our dreams were planned In the clouds up above We will make love Oh yes, we will make love Oh yes, we will make love

Ah bon! Alors au revoir! Non pas au revoir, Abuglubu! Ah oui, c'est ça abugluba!
We were all uprooted The earth was stolen from beneath our feet We became a Diaspora An unnamed nation of bastards We channeled our roots to the pulse of light deep within the galaxies of our mind Our breath was the sky Our dreams were water We claimed the wilderness We recognized each other
