And I Go Composer(s): Steve Winwood - Will Jennings Performer(s): Steve Winwood
My girl white in a yellow light Looks so good And it takes me Love so bright she can love all night Shows me all she knows
Painter paint the scene Hold us in a dream Feel what it means When she takes me Oh, she plays her part Holds me in her heart Knows from the start She can take me And she takes me And I go
When I'm bound in the London ground Play this song It'll take you Say her love was a velvet glove Held my life through
Dando Vueltas En El Aire Composer(s): Fito Paez Performer(s): Fito Paez; Astor Piazzolla
Cada vez que nos peleamos Cada vez que estamos bien Cada vez que lo encontramos Lo volvemos a perder
Cada salto en el vacío es una cuestión de fe Nunca nada se repite como la primera vez
Y siempre nos quedamos solos, solos
Cada vez que te lo pido Cada vez que vos llamás Cada rasgo enloquecido Cada foto de mamá Cada síntoma en el cuerpo Cada golpe de verdad
Cada vez estoy más lejos Pero bien lejos de acá
Y siempre nos quedamos solos Y voy a salir a buscar Y voy a salir a pegar
Vueltas y vueltas y vueltas en el aire Van quedando pocos trapos No me importan cuantos van
Ya no se ni donde vivo Ya no sé donde parar
Empecé a moverme un poco No es cuestión de estar tan mal
Lo que no puedo explicarme Ya lo voy a transpirar Que se queden cosas Que se queden ahí atrás Que se queden con su mundo Yo no me voy as enfermar más Volviendo a vos creo que lo que mejor sería es cambiar de tema
No me importa Ni que entiendas ni que juzgues Ni que hables o que mientas
Siempre nos quedamos solos Y voy a salir a buscar Voy a salir a pegar Vueltas y vueltas y vueltas en el aire
Until The Next Time Composer(s): Isla Grant - Daniel O'Donnell - Marc Roberts Performer(s): Daniel O'Donnell
We came here together this evening To meet with old friends that are true Cuz over the years we've grown closer That's what's happened between me and you
Somehow things in life keep on changing And nothing it seems stays the same But the times that we share That old feeling's still there
And the song in my heart I declare
May the road rise to meet you And may all of your fears disappear May all of your problems be small ones Til the next time we're all gathered here
Let's be thankful for all of the good things We have in our lives every day So until the next time I see you Close to my heart you will stay
Well now the time's come for the parting Once more we must go our own way Tonight we have made some more memories And nothing can take them away
Leaving this place, just remember As we travel life's journey each day The road that takes us away Will take us back here someday
So until we're together this way
May the road rise to meet you And may all of your fears disappear May all of your problems be small ones Til the next time we're all gathered here
Let's be thankful for all of the good things We have in our lives every day So until the next time I see you Close to my heart you will stay
So until the next time I see you Close to my heart you will stay
And Her Mother Came Too Composer(s): Ivor Novello Performer(s): Bobby Short and multiple other artists
My car will meet her And her mother comes too Its a two-seater Still her mother comes too And when theyre visiting me We finish afternoon tea She loves to sit on my knee And her mother does too
We buy her trousseau And her mother comes too Asked not to do so Still her mother comes too She simply cant take a snub I go and sulk at the club Then have a bath and a rub And her brother comes too
Dancing With The Moonlit Knight Composer(s): Tony Banks; Phil Collins; Peter Gabriel; Steve Hackett; Mike Rutherford Performer(s): Genesis; darXtar; Gazebo
Can you tell me where my country lies? Said the unifaun to his true love's eyes It lies with me, cried the Queen of Maybe For her merchandise, he traded in his prize
Paper late!, cried a voice in the crowd Old man dies! The note he left was signed old father Thames It seems he's drowned Selling England by the pound
Citizens of Hope and Glory Time goes by It's 'the time of your life' Easy now, sit you down Chewing through your Wimpey dreams They eat, without a sound Digesting England by the pound
Young man says you are what you eat - eat well Old man says you are what you wear - wear well You know what you are, you don't give a damn Bursting your belt that is your homemade sham
The captain leads his dance right on through the night Join the dance... Follow on! Till the Grail sun sets in the mould Follow on! Till the gold is cold Dancing out with the moonlit knight Knights of the Green Shield stamp and shout
There's a fat old lady outside the saloon Laying out the credit cards she plays fortune The deck is uneven right from the start All of their hands are playing apart
The captain leads his dance right on through the night Join the dance... Follow on! A round Table-talking down we go You're the show! Off we go with - You play the hobbyhorse I'll play the fool We'll tease the bull Ringing round and loud, loud and round Follow on! With a twist of the world we go Follow on! Till the gold is cold Dancing out with the moonlit knight Knights of the Green Shield stamp and shout

It was full steam ahead, destination unknown I asked our position, the crew didn't know They were all jiggin' up in the riggin' 'Cause the Captain loves to rock and roll
I looked out to sea, there was no land in sight The ship kept on sailin' right into the night Everyone cheerin', nobody steerin' But we seemed to be doin' all right
Everybody was dancin' with the Captain Everybody was dancin' with the Captain Just look at them dancin' with the Captain Well, we all had fun the whole night long And the ship sailed on
Pretty soon the Captain was out of control He said "This here's the place, if you got the soul" Keep on cruisin', let's have the music Your captain loves to rock and roll
Everybody was dancin' with the Captain Everybody was dancin' with the Captain Just look at them dancin' with the Captain Well, we all had fun the whole night long And the ship sailed on
Shes got a pair of eyes that speak of love, and everything Shes got a smile like angels up above, and everything The little birdies start to sing When they see her, they think its spring Like April showers, she makes the flowers Just seem to grow, and everything Shes got the cutest little dimpled hand, and everything A pretty finger for a wedding band, and everything And if shell be my little wife Well lead the simple life And well raise a lot of ducks and cows and geese, and everything
And if shell be my little wife Well lead the simple life And well raise a lot of ducks and cows and geese and everything Everything Lots of ducks and cows and geese And everything

Dancing With Mr. D Composer(s): Mick Jagger; Keith Richards Performer(s): The Rolling Stones
Down in the graveyard Where we have our tryst The air smells sweet The air smells sick He never smiles His mouth merely twists The breath in my lungs Feels clinging and thick But I know his name He's called Mr. D And one of these days He's gonna set you free Human skulls is hanging Right round his neck The palms of my hands Is clammy and wet
Lord I was dancing Dancing Dancing so free Dancing Dancing Dancing so free Dancing, Lord Keep your hands off me Dancing with Mr. D With Mr. D With Mr. D
Will it be poison Put in my glass Will it be slow Or will it be fast The bite of a snake The sting of a spider A drink of Belladonna On a Toussaint night Hiding in a corner In New York City Lookin' down a forty-four In West Virginia
Lord I was dancing Dancing Dancing so free Dancing Dancing Dancing so free Dancing, Lord Keep your hands off me Dancing with Mr. D With Mr. D With Mr. D
One night I was dancing With a lady in black Wearing black silk gloves And a black silk hat She looked at me longing With black velvet eyes She gazed at me strange All cunning and wise Then I saw the flesh Just fall off her bones The eyes in her skull Was burning like coals Lord, have mercy Fire and brimstone I was dancing with Mrs. D
Lord I was dancing Dancing Dancing so free Dancing Dancing Dancing so free Dancing Dancing Dancing so free Dancing Dancing...

Dancing Shoes Composer(s): Dan Fogelberg Performer(s): Dan Fogelberg
Dancing shoes On the wall above your bedside Saw it all as we performed our pirouette Fleshes fused As the flicker of the candles Threw upon the wall a single silhouette
Tu es dan ma coeur et dans ma téte
Dancing shoes We have loved on distant beaches Where the winter never reaches There we fell Dying swan On the dawn you danced before me Though your eyes were dark and stormy I stood still
Qui peut dire le faux et le réel?
Dancing shoes Though the distances divide us There's a paradise inside us We can't lose Me and you Dance a 'pas de deux' Forever And I pray you never Shed your dancing shoes
La strada bagnata di pioggia è una lama sottile che taglia la sera e la spegne senza fare rumore sul muro rimbalzano stanche le nostre parole non sanno di sole
Nascosta nel buio riposa la malinconia la spalmo sul pane la mangio è proprio la mia che strano sapore d'amore
Immenso amore mio perduto in un pensiero come un gabbiano stanco io graffio ancora il cielo per non morire in volo forse domani mi sveglierò con il sorriso della quiete
Avere bisogno di un piccolo stupido sogno da accendere quando fa freddo la sera d'inverno e bere in silenzio da solo un bicchiere di vino
Guardare lontano lontano chiamare un amico soltanto così per parlare cercando di non farsi del male nel ricordare le nostre risate d'estate
Immenso amore mio perduto in un pensiero come un gabbiano stanco io graffio ancora il cielo per non morire in volo forse domani mi sveglierò col viso dolce della quiete
Dancing Shoes Composer(s): Hank Marvin; Bruce Welch Performer(s): Cliff Richard
You must have heard of a little bo peep she was the gal with all the sheep Well one day its sad to say the sheep all went away she was lonely she was blue She was sad and a crying too So I told her what to do I said Put on your dancing shoes Put on your dancing shoes Put on your dancing shoes Dance a way your blues
A friend of mine had an accident Laughed so hard off the wall he went Humpty dumpty was his name I guess you've heard the same He was a lying on the ground A bits and pieces all around So I told him what to do I said put on your dancing shoes
(chorus)
I'm sure you know about Jack and Jill they're the ones that went up the hill Jack fell down and broke his crown Jill came tumbling after What a noise their crying made It was a ringing through the glade so I told him what to do And I changed their tears to laughter
(chorus)
Put on your dancing shoes Put on your dancing shoes Put on your dancing shoes
Ancora Con Te Composer(s): Sergio Bardotti Performer(s): Peppino Di Capri
Tu che sei tra le tante esperienze Quella che ho ancora in mente Quella che più mi preme Tu che sei tra gli amori che ho avuto Il più complicato il più semplice insieme
Tu che sei il mio sbaglio più giusto E la più strana storia che ha scritto di me E per questo per altro che anche Così tornerei ancora con te
Tu che sei la bugia più sincera La batuta più seria che io ho detto mai Tu che sei il brivido più antico Dell'amore più amico che ho avuto mai Dei ricordi che mi fan compagnia Tu sei la nostalgia che sempre vorrei E così anche solo così sono ancora con te
Ho scordato che volevo scordare Ho pensato che era sciocco pensare Ho capito che non posso capire Ma solo accetare che non ti avrò più
Tu che sei il mio grande rimedio E la sola perfidia che accetterò Tu che sei la mia pace l'affanno Il più stupido ingano che mai soffrirò Dei ricordi che mi fan compagnia Tu sei la nostalgia che sempre vorrei E così anche solo così sono acora con te
Dancing Queen
Composer(s): Benny Andersson; Stig Anderson; Björn Ulvaeus
Originally performed by: ABBA
Covered by various other artists
You can dance
You can jive
Having the time of your life
See that girl
Watch that scene
Dig in the dancing queen
Friday night and the lights are low
Looking out for a place to go
Where they play the right music
Getting in the swing
You come to look for a king
Anybody could be that guy
Night is young and the music's high
With a bit of rock music
Everything is fine
You're in the mood for a dance
And when you get the chance
You are the dancing queen
Young and sweet
Only seventeen
Dancing queen
Feel the beat from the tambourine
You can dance
You can jive
Having the time of your life
See that girl
Watch that scene
Dig in the dancing queen
You're a teaser, you turn 'em on
Leave 'em burning and then you're gone
Looking out for another
Anyone will do
You're in the mood for a dance
And when you get the chance
You are the dancing queen
Young and sweet
Only seventeen
Dancing queen
Feel the beat from the tambourine
You can dance
You can jive
Having the time of your life
See that girl
Watch that scene
Dig in the dancing queen
