Talk To Me Composer(s): Bruce Springsteen Performer(s): Southside Johnny & the Asbury Jukes
Well every night I see a light up in your window But every night you won't answer your door But although you won't ever let me in From the street I can see your silhouette sittin' close to him What must I do What does it take To get you to

Tequila aquavit Un glass securit Pour prendre ton clit A jeun je trouve ça limite J'ai besoin d'une bit Ure bien composite
Tequila aquavit Je recherche Aphrodite Froideur explicite Ouais j'y vais sans hésit- Ation mais pas d'excit- Ation climax exit
Tequila aquavit Que de langues sodomites De doigts troglodytes Des plombes que je te visite Absence de coït O.Kay on est quitte
Toi tu l'prends comme un rit- Uel un plan habit- Uel plus rien ne t excite A jeun je trouve ça limite J'ai besoin d'une bit- Ure bien composite
Tequila aquavit Mon verre securit Eclate en petites Particules j'évite De les mettre en orbite Sur ta chrysalide
Tequila aquavit Plus de glass securit Pour prendre ton clit Je ne sais ce que nécessitent Ton con et ton clit Je suis perdu j'hésite
Oh et puis merde je quitte Tes muqueuses shit J'ouvre mon lexique Mallarmé dixit Je cite Et dans ses jambes où la victime se couche Levant une peau noire ouverte sous le crin Avance le palais de cette étrange bouche Pâle et rose comme un coquillage marin
Mr. Businessman Composer(s): Ray Stevens Originally performed by: Ray Stevens Covered by various other artists
Itemize the things you covet As you squander through your life Bigger cars, bigger houses Term insurance for your wife Tuesday evenings with your harlot And on Wednesdays it's your charlatan analyst, he's high upon your list
You've got air conditioned sinuses And dark disturbing doubts about religion And you keep those cards and letters going out While your secretary's tempting you Your morals are exempting you from guilt and shame Heaven knows you're not to blame
You better, take care of business Mr. Businessman What's your plan? Get down to business Mr. Businessman if you can Before it's too late and you throw your life away
Did you see your children growing up today And did you hear the music of their laughter As they set about to play Did you catch the fragrance of those roses in your garden Did the morning sunlight warm your soul, Brighten up your day Do you qualify to be alive or is the limit of your senses so as only to survive Hey yeah.....
Spending counterfeit incentive Wasting precious time and health Placing value on the worthless Disregarding priceless wealth You can wheel and deal the best of them And steal it from the rest of them You know the score, their ethics are a bore
Eighty-six anesthetic crutches prop you to the top Where the smiles are all synthetic And the ulcers never stop When they take that final inventory, Yours will be the same sad story everywhere No one will really care, no one more lonely than This rich important man, let's have your autograph Endorse your epitaph
You better, take care of business Mr. Businessman What's your plan? Get down to business Mr. Businessman if you can
Glass Onion Composer(s): John Lennon; Paul McCartney Performer(s): The Beatles; and various other artists
I told you about strawberry fields You know the place where nothing is real Well here's another place you can go Where everything flows Looking through the bent backed tulips To see how the other half live Looking through a glass onion

I told you about the fool on the hill I tell you man he's living there still Well here's another place you can be Listen to me Fixing a hole in the ocean Tryin' to make a dovetail joint Looking through a glass onion

Mr. Bojangles Composer(s): Jerry Jeff Walker Originally performed by: Jerry Jeff Walker Covered by various other artists
I knew a man, Bojangles and he danced for you In worn out shoes Silver hair, a ragged shirt and baggy pants The old soft shoe He jumped so high He jumped so high Then he'd lightly touch down
I met him in a cell in New Orleans, I was Down and out He looked to me to be the eyes of age As he spoke right out He talked of life He talked of life He laughed, clicked his heels and stepped
He said his name, Bojangles and he danced a lick Across the cell He grabbed his pants, a better stance Oh, he jumped so high Then he clicked his heels He let go a laugh He let go a laugh Pushed back his clothes all around Mr. Bojangles Mr. Bojangles Mr. Bojangles Dance
He danced for those in minstral shows and county fairs Throughout the south He spoke with tears of fifteen years how his dog and him Traveled about The dog up and died He up and died After twenty years he still grieves
He said I dance now at every chance in honky tonks For drinks and tips But most the time I spend behind these county bars He said I drinks a bit He shook his head And as he shook his head I heard someone ask him please Please Mr. Bojangles Mr. Bojangles Mr. Bojangles Dance
Talk Talk Composer(s): Sean Bonniwell First release by: The Music Machine - 1966 Covered by multiple other artists
I got me a complication And it's an only child Concernin' my reputation As something more than wild I know it serves me right But I can't sleep at night Have to hide my face Or go some other play-ay-ay-ay-ay-ace
I won't cry out for justice Admit that I was wrong I'll stay in hibernation 'Til the talk subsides to gone My social life's a dud My name is really mud I'm up to here in lies Guess I'm down to size To size
Can't seem to talk about The things that bother me Seems to be What everybody has Against me Oh, oh, all right
Here's the situation And how it really stands I'm out of circulation I've all but washed my hands My social life's a dud My name is really mud I'm up to here in lies Guess I'm down to size To size
Glad Rags Composer(s): Johnny Bond Performer(s): Johnny Bond; Jimmy Dean; Mac Wiseman
Now honey, you do the dishes and I'll feed the old sow Also the chickens and our one Jersey cow Take down yur curlers and powder your nose Big time at Jones' place, so wear your best clothes There'll be no evening gowns, not even a tux They'll come in wagons, buggies and pick-up trucks We'll do square dancin' under kerosine light We'll wear glad rags tonight, my honey We'll wear glad rags tonight
Big time at Jones' place, so wear your best clothes
Silvester comin', hum and fiddle a tune Red headed kids will swipe away his spittoon Then run and hide behind a bale of hay But that old sittin' hen will scare 'em away Look for me beside the old cider keg I'll set my cup down and we'll both shake a leg Never a ballroom had a prettier sight We'll wear glad rags tonight, my honey We'll wear glad rags tonight
Tales Of Brave Ulysses Composer(s): Eric Clapton - Martin Sharp First release by: Cream - 1967 Covered by multiple other artists
You thought the leaden winter would bring you down forever But you rode upon a steamer to the violence of the sun
And the colours of the sea blind your eyes with trembling mermaids And you touch the distant beaches with tales of brave Ulysses How his naked ears were tortured by the sirens sweetly singing For the sparkling waves are calling you to kiss their white-laced lips
And you see a girl's brown body dancing through the turquoise And her footprints make you follow where the sky loves the sea And when your fingers find her, she drowns you in her body Carving deep blue ripples in the tissues of your mind
The tiny purple fishes run laughing through your fingers And you want to take her with you to the hard land of the winter
Her name is Aphrodite and she rides a crimson shell And you know you cannot leave her for you touched the distant sands With tales of brave Ulysses; how his naked ears were tortured By the sirens sweetly singing
The tiny purple fishes run laughing through your fingers And you want to take her with you to the hard land of the winter

Qué hacer cuando ser uno mismo es cine de terror qué hacer cuando el deseo es policía del amor qué hacer cuando es un éxito matar al perdedor qué hacer cuando la máscara le sobra al impostor Tal vez huir huir a la vida tal vez vivir vivir en la huida tal vez Qué hacer cuando mirar no es ver aquello que se ve qué hacer cuando el futuro es un espejo en la pared. qué hacer cuando el mercado de almas es dogma de fe qué hacer cuando ser libre es preguntarse: ¿para qué? Tal vez huir... Qué hacer cuando los héroes persiguen un balón qué hacer cuando es anónima la carne de cañón qué hacer cuando los monstruos se han cargado de razón qué hacer cuando el latido ya dispara al corazón Tal vez huir...
