Afraid Of Tomorrow Composer(s): Gary Moore Performer(s): Gary Moore
All of our destinies written within us No more of falling for the world's biggest lie Are you so jealous of the wind and her freedom? Nothing can stop you now Live in your dreams
Are we afraid of tomorrow? Are we afraid of tomorrow?
Crossing the wilderness, finding the treasure Buried within yourself all you desire Soul of the world can see all you are feeling Heeding the wise man's words, all things are one
Are we afraid of tomorrow? Are we afraid of tomorrow?
Mmah, ah
All of our destinies written within us No more of falling for the world's biggest lie Are you still jealous of the wind and her freedom? Nothing can stop you now, so live in your dreams
Are we afraid of tomorrow? Are we afraid of tomorrow?
What Goes On Composer(s): Lou Reed Performer(s): The Velvet Underground
What goes on in your mind? I think that I am falling down What goes on in your mind? I think that I am upside down Lady, be good, and do what you should you know it'll work allright Lady, be good, do what you should you know it'll be alright
I'm goin' up, and I'm goin' down I'm gonna fly from side to side See the bells, up in the sky Somebody's cut the string in two Lady, be good, and do what you should you know it'll work alright Lady, be good, do what you should you know it'll be alright
One minute one, one minute two One minute up and one minute down What goes on here in your mind? I think that I am falling down Lady, be good, and do what you should you know it'll work alright Lady, be good, do what you should you know it'll be alright
Afraid Of Love
Composer(s): Steve Lukather - David Paich - Jeff Porcaro
Performer(s): Toto; Joyce Randolph
You stole my heart the moment you came to town
I said hello but you were gone when I turned around
You can't get away, can't get away, even if you try now
I wanna tell you but the words just can't be found
I like the way you move and just the way you are
I can't take anymore, 'cos girl, you're pushin' too hard
You can't get away, can't let you go, what's a boy to do now
You got me askin' myself how I survived this far
I gotta get away from you, girl
'Cos I've never been afraid of love 'til I met you
Never thought a girl could make me feel the way you do
Never been afraid of - never been afraid of love 'til I met you
Ooh, yes you say
Can't be something that you never ever had
When I stop and think about you, it makes me laugh
You took me by surprise, I saw it in your eyes, I never had a chance, girl
Now that I see what you are, it doesn't hurt so bad
I gotta get away from you, girl
'Cos I've never been afraid of love 'til I met you
Never thought a girl could make me feel the way you do
Never been afraid of - never been afraid of love 'til I met you
Ooh, yes you say

Cease to know or to tell Or to see or to be your own Cease to know or to tell Or to see or to be your own Have someone else's will as your own Have someone else's will as your own

Confuse your hunger capture the fake Confuse your hunger capture the fake
Banish the faceless reward your grace Banish the faceless reward your grace
What Does The Pussycat Mean When She Says "Meow"? Composer(s): Pease; Granlund; Nelson Performer(s): Margaret Young
I went to school, and then I went to college Learned every rule, that's how I got my knowledge But now I'm puzzled, and always up a tree Won't someone please tell me
What does the pussy cat mean when she says, "Meow"? What does the little dog mean when he says, "Bow-wow"? I know that hay means horses And that marriage means divorces But what does the pussy cat mean when she says "Meow"?
I know that church means Sunday, and that Friday means a fish I know that wash means Monday, and a platter means a dish I know a boy means mister, and a girlie means a miss When her lip touches his lips, I know it means a kiss A baby means a rattle; a barrel means a keg And when a chicken cackles, it means she's laid an egg I know that green means Irish, and that Irish means a cop Limburger means a Zeppelin, and spaghetti means a wop
What does the pussy cat mean when she says "Meow"? What does the little dog mean when he says "Bow-wow"? I know that Heinz means pickles And I know a feather tickles But what does the pussy cat mean when she says, "Meow"?
Afghanistan Composer(s): William Wilander - Harry Donnelly
In the land of Afghanistan There's a Hindu maid and a man She swore by the stars up above her That he was the one to love her But there came another one day Stole his Hindu maiden away Hindu man is lonely and blue In his dreams he's calling to her
All the wealth of Afghanistan Cannot ease the heart of this man Tho' the stars with splendor are shining Hindu's heart can't stop it's pining Though he's trying hard to forget He has hopes and dreams of her yet Thinking that she'll come back some say To his idol he keeps praying
In Afghanistan There's a Caravan By the fair oasis waiting for you and for you only Cross the desert sand we will find a temple There will be a bridal day for you my idol In Afghanistan

What Does It Take Composer(s): James Van Heusen; Johnny Burke Performer(s): Nat King Cole
It takes an earthquake to move a mountain
It takes the typhoon to churn up the sea
But what does it take to make you take to me?
It takes a heatwave to melt an iceberg
It takes a blossom to bother a bee
But what does it take to make you take to me?
You could have your way
You could have the moon
Anything you say, only say it soon
When you're around it takes the feather to knock me over
It takes the nitwit to tell you I'm free
Cuz, baby I'm just your humble servant making his fervent plea
What does it take to make you take to me?
You could have your way
You could have the moon
Anything you say, only say it soon
When you're around it takes the feather to knock me over
It takes the nitwit to tell you I'm free
Cuz, baby I'm just your humble servant making his fervent plea
What does it take to make you take to me?
Affida Una Lacrima Al Vento ((French & German Versions: Une Larme Aux Nuages (by Salvatore Adamo); Es Geht Eine Träne Auf Reisen (by Salvatore Adamo)) Composer(s): Salvatore Adamo Performer(s): Salvatore Adamo
Affida una lacrima al vento e fa che la porti da me il vento mi ha detto stai attento la tua bella non pensa più a te
Affida una lacrima al vento e nel cielo per me brillerà e com'una pioggia d'argento il tuo amore mi riporterà
Il vento non mi vuol più parlar di te piange però non mi vuol dir perché ma indovino tristi cose scritte con le spine delle rose
Affida una lacrima al vento vedrai che di gioia ballerà da te volerà in un momento dei miei baci ti coprirà
Affida una lacrima al vento e nel deserto un fiore spunterà sarà un miraggio lo sento ma sarà bello e ci credo già
Affida una lacrima al vento e fa che la porti da me il vento mi ha detto stai attento la tua bella non pensa più a te la tua bella non pensa più a te la tua bella non pensa più a te
What Does He Look Like Composer(s): Irving Berlin Performer(s): Frances Langford
Johnny Doughboy overseas filled with pride and joy
Stopping everyone he meets and shouting "It's a boy"
What does he look like, that boy of mine?
Since the news came I can't get him off my mind
Does he resemble his homely dad?
Does he look like the girl that I left behind?
Bring on the Germans
And bring on the Japs
Bring on the first who you can find
One for the rascal I haven't seen
And one for the girl that I left behind
Affair On 8th Avenue Composer(s): Gordon Lightfoot Performer(s): Gordon Lightfoot; The Brothers Four
The perfume that she wore was from some little store On the down side of town But it lingered on long after shed gone I remember it well And our fingers entwined like ribbons of light And we came through a doorway somewhere in the night Her long flowing hair came softly undone And it lay all around And she brushed it down as I stood by her side In the warmth of her love
And she showed me her treasures of paper and tin And then we played a game only she could win And she told me a riddle Ill never forget Then left with the answer Ive never found yet
How long, said she, can a moment like this Belong to someone Whats wrong, what is right, when to live or to die We must almost be born So if you should ask me what secrets I hide Im only your lover, dont make me decide
The perfume that she wore was from some little store On the down side of town But it lingered on long after shed gone I remember it well
And she showed me her treasures of paper and tin And then we played a game only she could win And our fingers entwined like ribbons of light And we came through a doorway somewhere in the night
What Does A Woman See In A Man? Composer(s): Jimmy Webb Performer(s): Jimmy Webb
He stinks to high heaven, half covered with hair And grunts just like some old orang-utan While she smells of clean skin and a trace of jasmine And speaks like a first rate librarian
His stomach hangs out, there's a hump on his back He eats like Conan the Barbarian While she keeps herself trim, and her posture is prim Her manners are quite cosmopolitan
He laughs like a donkey and farts in the bed And flips cigarettes in the can But she always acts nice, with no visible vice Tell me, what does a woman see in a man?
He hangs out in bars and he tells stupid jokes And seems to think he's a comedian But she's clever, polite, stays sober all night And sips on her one Presbyterian
He drives a gas hog like Attila the Hun And woe to the luckless pedestrian While she prefers bikes and bird-watching hikes And sailing and riding equestrian
He has a name like Duane or Leroy Hers is Vanessa or Anne Hers sounds like a song But Duane is all wrong Tell me, what does a woman see in a man?
Doesn't she know that she's unique Doesn't she know that he's just a freak -- of nature Overbearing, insecure, wanting love but so unsure Loving her because she's pure
And yet, dreaming of orgies in Vegas or Cannes He preens and strikes poses Olympian While she shoulders the cross And lets him play boss His nurse and long-suffering Samaritan
He brags about knocking the world on its ass But oh, when the shit hits the fan She'll bail him out, she's the one with the clout Only she knows how humankind ever began
What does a woman see in a man? What does a woman see in a man?
Affair Of The Heart Composer(s): Rick Springfield - Blaise Tosti - Danny Tate Performer(s): Rick Springfield
Heart in my mouth pluse in my head Mercury rising into the red The smell of your skin can light up all the fire in me
I'm hungry to touch I'm eager to please Out of control and I hand you the keys Every night I am burning to make love to you
But don't try to tell me you think it's all physical It goes much deeper than that
You ought to know it's an affair of the heart It's an affair of the heart It's an affair of the heart Have a little blind faith believe It's an affair of the heart
When we make love it's a passionate thing You shudder and shake sink your teeth in my skin I almost believe you were made to be played by my hands
And you got the power it amazes me still How you play my emotions with consummate skill I don't have to look any further than into your eyes
So don't try to tell me you think it's just physical It goes way deeper than that
You better know it's an affair of the heart It's an affair of the heart It's an affair of the heart Have a little blind faith believe It's an affair of the heart
Don't try to tell me you think it's all physical It goes much deeper than that
You ought to know it's an affair of the heart It's an affair of the heart It's an affair of the heart It's an affair of the heart You better know it's an affair of the heart It's an affair of the heart You better know it's an affair of the heart It's an affair of the heart Baby an affair of the heart It's an affair of the heart

What do you want with me Oh baby can't you see My love and I were happy Before you came along And it'll stay that way 'cause I won't let her down I love her, can't you see What do you want with me
What do you want with me Oh baby I can't see You only wanna break us up And use me for a time Then you'll leave me cryin' I've heard it all before Your other boys have told me What do you want with me
A love like ours Is somethin' else again She's lovin', she's true Let me tell you she's not a bit like you And I'm askin' you a question
What do you want with me Why don't you let me be I know it would be easy To fool around with you But you should know by now I've promised to be true I love her, can't you see What do you want with me
A love like ours Is somethin' else again She's lovin', she's true Let me tell you she's not a bit like you And I'm askin' you a question

Marilou se fait des aéroplanes En repliant des dépliants d'agences de voyages genre Cook Où l'on peut voir des pin-up à gros seins new-look Sur fond d'azur de Louisiane Elle est marrante c'est une fan Du cap'tain Cook Elle a sur lui tout un press-book Aussi sur Tarzan dont elle est folle comme Jane Je la vois assez l'enlacer et lui de liane en liane Pousser son cri en volapük Du coté de Pamanbuk Et moi Chita le singe qui leur cavale au cul dans la savane
Pauvre idiote tu rêves tu planes Me traite de fauché de plouc De minable d'abominable bouc Qu'importe injures un jour se dissiperont comme volute Gitane

Algo te dice ven a éste tiempo nuevo siempre surge una antigua forma de mirar Un ritmo que te empuje hasta vibrar unido a éste hermoso planeta que como tú respira
Con maestros y sin líderes aerolitos como aerolitos libres Por el espacio sin límites aerolitos como aerolitos libres
Canto a la gente que se siente cerca Conozco triunfadores que se saben perdidos Aprendo del humilde que sin quererlo habla con la sabiduría antigua de las cosas
Con maestros y sin líderes aerolitos como aerolitos libres Por el espacio sin límites aerolitos como aerolitos libres
Algo te dice ven a este tiempo nuevo Son falsas todas las encrucijadas El mundo cada día llama recién nacido y te busca a través de la luz y el sentimiento
Con maestros y sin líderes aerolitos como aerolitos libres Por el espacio sin límites aerolitos como aerolitos libres
