Graceland Composer(s): Paul Simon Performer(s): Paul Simon; Big Daddy; Erin Bode; Willie Nelson
The Mississippi Delta was shining Like a National guitar I am following the river Down the highway Through the cradle of the civil war
Im going to Graceland Graceland In Memphis Tennessee Im going to Graceland Poorboys and Pilgrims with families And we are going to Graceland My traveling companion is nine years old He is the child of my first marriage But Ive reason to believe We both will be received In Graceland
She comes back to tell me shes gone As if I didnt know that As if I didnt know my own bed As if Id never notice The way she brushed her hair from Her forehead And she said losing love Is like a window in your heart Everybody sees youre blown apart Everybody sees the wind blow
Im going to Graceland Memphis Tennessee Im going to Graceland Poorboys and Pilgrims with families And we are going to Graceland And my traveling companions Are ghosts and empty sockets Im looking at ghosts and empties But Ive reason to believe We all will be received In Graceland
There is a girl in New York City Who calls herself the human trampoline And sometimes when Im falling, flying Or tumbling in turmoil I say Oh, so this is what she means She means were bouncing into Graceland And I see losing love Is like a window in your heart Everybody sees youre blown apart Everybody sees the wind blow
In Graceland, In Graceland Im going to Graceland For reasons I cannot explain Theres some part of me wants to see Graceland And I may be obliged to defend Every love, every ending Or maybe theres no obligations now Maybe Ive a reason to believe We all will be received In Graceland
Temma Harbour Composer(s): Philamore Lincoln Performer(s): Mary Hopkin
In a giant lemon tree, alone my friend and me We both climb down and cross the sand until we reach the sea And the waves come higher, higher as we sway and dance And the way I feel makes me want to take a chance
Sing a song of Temma Harbour, climb a coconut tree Catch a fish and light a fire, drink some wine with me And if you say you like me and I like you We can live and dream together in the world that's new
In the treehouse here we lay above the blue sea spray The tide rolls in and on the wind guitars begin to play And the waves come higher, higher as we sway and dance And the way I feel makes me want to take a chance
Sing a song of Temma Harbour, climb a coconut tree Catch a fish and light a fire, drink some wine with me And if you say you like me and I like you We can live and dream together in the world that's new
My Love Will Not Let You Down Composer(s): Bruce Springsteen Performer(s): Bruce Springsteen
At night I go to bed But I just can't sleep I got something runnin' around my head Ooh that just won't keep
In the silence I hear my heart beatin' Time slippin' away I got a time bomb tickin' deep inside of me Girl all I want to say
I keep searchin' for you darlin' Searchin everywhere I go And when I find you there's gonna be just one thing that you gotta know
One thing you gotta know
My love, love, love, love, love, love, will not let you down My love, love, love, love, love, love, will not let you down
At night I walk the streets lookin' for romance But I always end up stumblin' in a half trance I search for a connection in some new eyes That hardly protect you from too many dreams passed by
I see you standin', across the room watchin' me without a sound I'm gonna push my way through that crowd I'm gonna tear your holy walls down Tear all your walls down
My love, love, love, love, love, love, will not let you down My love, love, love, love, love, love, will not let you down My love, love, love, love, love, love, will not let you down My love, love, love, love, love, love, will not let you down
Well hold still now darlin' Hold still for God's sake 'Cause I got me a promise I ain't afraid to make (I ain't afraid to make)
My love, love, love, love, love, love, will not let you down My love, love, love, love, love, love, will not let you down My love, love, love, love, love, love, will not let you down My love, love, love, love, love, love, will not let you down My love, love, love, love, love, love, will not let you down My love, love, love, love, love, love, will not let you down My love, love, love, love, love, love, will not let you down My love, love, love, love, love, love, will not let you down

Tema De Pototo Composer(s): Edelmiro Molinari - Luis Alberto Spinetta Performer(s): Juan Carlos Baglietto; Leonardo Favio
Para saber cómo es la soledad tendrás que ver que a tu lado no está que nunca a ti te dejaba pensar en dónde estaba el bien, en dónde la maldad Para observar cómo muere la flor t verás que también muere la paz es que esa paz revivirá en su voz la flor te la dará para plantarla igual La soledad es un amigo que no está es su palabra que no ha de llegar igual Si es que sus sueños son luces en torno a ti tú te das cuenta que él ya nunca ha de morir nunca ha de morir Para saber cómo es la soledad tendrás que ver que a tu lado no está que nunca a ti te dejaba pensar en dónde estaba el bien, en dónde la maldad La soledad es un amigo que no está es su palabra que no ha de llegar igual si es que sus sueños son luces en torno a ti t te das cuenta que él ya nunca ha de morir nunca ha de morir
Gotta Move Composer(s): Peter Matz Performer(s): Barbra Streisand; and various other artists
Got to move, got to get out Got to leave this place, got to find some place some marvel place, some brand new place Some place, where each face that I see want be staring back at me telling me what to be and how to be it Some place, where I can just be me
Got to move, got to get out Got to leave this town, got to find some town some big new town, some bright new town some new town with new places, new lights and most of all: some new faces
Got to find a man, a new man A man who won't worry about where I go a man who won't ask how I learned what I know A man who will know that you got to be free a man who will know when to just let me be
Got to move, got to get out Got to change my life, got to find my life Got to find me a place in some new town, and baby when I find me that new place, than maybe I'll, got to leave this town got to leave this place, got to find a new man, got to move
Tema De Piluso Composer(s): Fito Páez Performer(s): Fito Páez
Cerca, Rosario siempre estuvo cerca tu vida siempre estuvo cerca y esto es verdad vida, tu vida fue una hermosa vida tu vida transformó la mia y esto es verdad
Y la vida como viene va no hay merienda si no hay capitán
Tanto, salimos por las calles tanto bebimos en los bares santos de la verdad y algo, me dice que perdimos algo perdimos y ganamos algo algo en verdad
Y la vida como viene va no hay merienda si no hay capitán
Nada nos deja mas en soledad que la alegría si se va volar, volar, volar, volar, volar como es Alberto volar al más allá...
Tira, la soga de tu cuello tira la soga de mi cuello tira y esto es verdad y eran los tiempos de la primavera dejaste tu sonrisa en ella y esto es verdad
Y la vida como viene va no hay merienda si no hay capitán
It's quarter to two And I've still got you on my mind, oh baby I'm just a prisoner, trapped in the chains of your love It cuts like a knife, imagining life without you, oh darling I'm up to the challenge, and I'm willing to fight I'd do anything to have you with me tonight... Oh baby...
I'd swim a river if the river was wide I'd climb a mountain if the mountain was high I'd do anything, girl, just to be by your side I'm out of my mind, my love is a fire
It's heaven on earth, and we don't need words to describe it I'm lost in forever I don't ever wanna come down I was a fool, I broke every rule before you, girl Searching for answers and I've looked high and low Now that I've found you, girl, I can't let you go Oh baby...
Id swim a river if the river was wide Id climb a mountain if the mountain was high Id do anything, girl, just to be by your side Im out of my mind, my love is a fire
I'm burning up Can't cool down Flames getting higher Burning down to the ground
I'd swim a river if the river was wide I'd climb a mountain if the mountain was high I'd do anything, girl, just to be by your side I'm out of my mind, my love is a fire
I'd swim a river if the river was wide I'd climb a mountain if the mountain was high I'd do anything, girl, just to be by your side I'm out of my mind, my love is a fire
I'd swim a river if the river was wide I'd climb a mountain if the mountain was high I'd do anything, girl, just to be by your side I'm out of my mind, my love is a fire
Gotta Keep Movin' Composer(s): Dennis Thompson Performer(s): MC5; New Race
Teachers, parents and politicians They ridicule my wild ambitions They say, "settle down son, live decently Or you'll rot in jail before your 23!" They don't know their stuck in the past Can't stop me now 'cause I'm movin' too fast
Presidents, priests and old ladies too They'll swear on the Bible what's best for you Atom bombs, Vietnam, missiles on the moon And they wonder why their kids are shootin' drugs so soon Young men fightin' for democracy And sacrificed for mediocrity
I can't stay in one place for too long a time I get stone bored, I go outta my mind I'm here and I'm there and doncha know I'm free Gotta keep movin' baby, you and me
People wakin' up, but they've just begun To realize what needs to be done But as for me I keep movin' on The future's now, yesterday is gone I never let nobody tell me what to do And no matter what I'm gonna see things through
Tema De Los Mosquitos Composer(s): León Gieco Performer(s): León Gieco
El gorrión le quitó la casa al hornero un ave de rapiña picoteaba un cordero la lechuza se prendió de los ojitos de una rana chiquitita y de un sapito
Todas las abejas y todas las ovejas fueron masacradas por la gran araña los mosquitos picoteaban a un chancho estancado masticando mariposas de los pantanos
Ay, que vida es esta dijo un cazador salieron a matarse todos los animales oh oh oh
Un pavo real perdió todas sus plumas en una sangrienta encrucijada de pumas la calandria fue atrapada por la serpiente los conejos pisoteados por el elefante
La hiena cantaba una triste canción las hormigas bailoteaban sobre las iguanas el caimán se comió la pajarito que le limpiaba los dientes con su piquito
My Love For You Goes On And On And On Composer(s): Roy Drusky Performer(s): Roy Drusky
You know you won't be easy to forget Because my love for you goes on and on and on You've left me with a lifetime to regret Because my love for you goes on and on and on
I'm still living on the love we knew And I'm still givin' all my life to you If you stay away, my tomorrows are gone Because my love for you goes on and on and on
I'm still living on the love we knew And I'm still giving all my life to you If you stay away, my tomorrows are gone Because my love for you goes on and on and on Because my love for you goes on and on and on
