    That’s My Girl
    Composer(s): Duke Ellington - Ray Ellington - Barbara Tobias
    Performer(s): Nat King Cole



    That’s my girl, Take a look at her she belongs to me
    Yes that’s my girl, hand off, don’t touch
    She looks just like an angel
    But she’s human all the same
    So I’m not taking chances
    I won’t tell her address or even her name
    ‘Cos that’s my girl
    I’m adding her to my family
    And I love that girl and everything’s fine
    So until the day that she says “Yes”
    I’m keeping my fingers crossed
    ‘Cos that’s my girl, and she’s gonna stay mine

    That’s my girl, you hear me
    I’m adding her to my family
    And I love that girl and everything’s fine
    So until the day that she says “Yes”
    I’m keeping my fingers crossed
    ‘Cos that’s my girl and she’s gonna stay mine
    She’s all mine, every curve and line
    And even those dark brow curls
    Now lay off... that’s my girl

    Caçada
    Composer(s): Chico Buarque
    Performer(s): Chico Buarque; Bebel Gilberto; Mestre Ambrósio



    Não conheço seu nome ou paradeiro
    Adivinho seu rastro e cheiro
    Vou armado de dentes e coragem
    Vou morder sua carne selvagem
    Varo a noite sem cochilar, aflito
    Amanheço imitando o seu grito
    Me aproximo rondando a sua toca
    E ao me ver você me provoca
    Você canta a sua agonia louca
    Água me borbulha na boca Minha presa rugindo sua raça
    Pernas se debatendo e o seu fervor
    Hoje é o dia de graça
    Hoje é o dia da caça e do caçador

    Eu me espicho no espaço feito um gato
    Pra pegar você, bicho do mato
    Saciar a sua avidez mestiça
    Que ao me ver se encolhe e me atiça
    Que num mesmo impulso me expulsa e abraça
    Nossas peles grudando de suor
    Hoje é o dia da graça
    Hoje é o dia da caça e do caçador

    De tocaia fico a espreitar a fera
    Logo dou-lhe o bote certeiro
    Já conheço seu dorso de gazela
    Cavalo brabo montado em pelo
    Dominante, não se desembaraça
    Ofegante, é dona do seu senhor
    Hoje é o dia da graça
    Hoje é o dia da caça e do caçador

    Factory Girl
    Composer(s): Mick Jagger; Keith Richards
    Performer(s): The Rolling Stones;
    and various other artists



    Waiting for a girl who's got curlers in her hair
    Waiting for a girl she has no money anywhere
    We get buses everywhere
    Waiting for a factory girl

    Waiting for a girl and her knees are much too fat
    Waiting for a girl who wears scarves instead of hats
    Her zipper's broken down the back
    Waiting for a factory girl

    Waiting for a girl and she gets me into fights
    Waiting for a girl we get drunk on Friday night
    She's a sight for sore eyes
    Waiting for a factory girl

    Waiting for a girl and she's got stains all down her dress
    Waiting for a girl and my feet are getting wet
    She ain't come out yet
    Waiting for a factory girl

    First release by: Russell Wooding's Red Caps - 1931
    Covered by multiple other artists



    To spend one night with you
    In our old rendezvous
    And reminisce with you
    That's my desire

    To meet where gypsies play
    Down in that dim café
    And dance till break of day
    That's my desire

    We'll sip a little glass of wine
    And I'll gaze into your eyes divine
    I'll feel the touch of your lips
    Pressing on mine

    To hear you whisper low
    Just when it's time to go
    "Cherie, I love you so"
    "You're my desire"

    To hear you whisper low
    Just when it's time to go
    "Cherie, I love you so"
    "You're my desire"

    "You're my desire"

    Cable A Tierra Composer(s): Fito Páez Performer(s): Fito Páez; Abel Pintos



    Si estas entre volver no volver
    si ya metiste demasiado en tu nariz
    si estas como cegado de poder
    tirate un cable a tierra
    y si tu corazón ya no va mas
    si ya no existe conexión con los demás
    si estas igual que un barco en alta mar
    tirate un cable a tierra
    y yo estoy acercándome hasta vos
    bajo la luna, bajo la luna
    las cosas son así
    tengo el teléfono del freak
    que esta deseoso de volarte la cabeza
    en un par de minutos sale el sol
    si ya no hay nada que anestesie tu dolor
    si no llegas, si no alcanzas a verme
    tirate un cable a tierra
    no creas que perdió sentido todo
    no dificultes la llegada del amor
    no hables de mas, escucha el corazón
    ese es el cable a tierra

    Composer(s): Bruce Springsteen

    Arizona Smoke Revue; Kevin Kinsella;
    Melissa McClelland; The Mighty Echoes



    Early in the morning factory whistle blows
    Man rises from bed and puts on his clothes
    Man takes his lunch, walks out in the morning light
    It's the working, the working, just the working life

    Through the mansions of fear through the mansions of pain
    I see my daddy walking through them factory gates in the rain
    Factory takes his hearing, factory gives him life
    The working, the working, just the working life

    End of the day, factory whistle cries
    Men walk through these gates with death in their eyes
    And you just better believe, boy
    somebody's gonna get hurt tonight
    It's the working, the working, just the working life

    First release by: Lou Millet & His Melody Ramblers - 1951
    Covered by multiple other artists



    A night with no moonlight
    A day with no sun
    A plane with no pilot
    A watch that won't run

    A tree with no branches
    A rose with no dew
    A boy with no sweetheart
    That's me without you

    A train with no whistle
    A car with no gas
    A well with no water
    A show with no cast

    A love with no future
    A sky with no blue
    A boy with no sweetheart
    That's me without you

    A bank with no money
    A top that won't spin
    A book with no story
    A love I can't win

    A chair with no bottom
    A rig with no crew
    A song with no music
    That's me without you

    A train with no whistle
    A car with no gas
    A well with no water
    A show with no cast

    A court with no jury
    A church with no pew
    A boy with no sweetheart
    That's me without you

    Performer(s): The Mullins Family
    and multiple other artists



    There's a happy childhood home in my mem'ry I can see
    Standing out upon the hill neath the shadow of the tree
    If I only had my way, it would give my heart a thrill
    Just to simply wander back to the cabin on the hill
    Oh, I want to wander back to the cabin on the hill
    Neath the shadow of the tree I would like to linger still
    Just to be with those I love, joy my heart would overfill
    Just to simply wander back to the cabin on the hill
    But the saddest of it all, I can never more return
    To that happy childhood home, matters not how much I yearn
    If I only had my way, it would give my heart a thrill
    Just to simply wander back to the cabin on the hill
    Oh, I want to wander back to the cabin on the hill
    Neath the shadow of the tree I would like to linger still
    Just to be with those I love, joy my heart would overfill
    Just to simply wander back to the cabin on the hill
    Oh, I want to wander back to the cabin on the hill
    Neath the shadow of the tree I would like to linger still
    Just to be with those I love, joy my heart would overfill
    Just to simply wander back to the cabin on the hill

    Facing The Wind
    Composer(s): Nico
    Performer(s): Nico



    It's holding me against my will
    And doesn't leave me still
    Amazons are riding out
    To find a meaning for
    The name, my name
    In the rain
    My spinning on my Name
    In the rain, in the rain

    When did it begin?
    When did it begin?
    Why am I not facing the wind?

    My mother and my brother
    Are facing the wind
    Why are they facing the wind?
    Why are they facing the wind?

    There's nothing more to sing about
    Not now or when they carry me away
    In the rain
    My spinning on my name in the rain
    My spinning on my name in the rain
    In the rain

    When did it begin?
    When did it begin?
    Why are they facing the wind?

    That's Love
    Composer(s): Gilbert O'Sullivan
    Performer(s): Gilbert O'Sullivan



    Once in a while, out of the blue
    I might appear somewhat rude
    But don't be alarmed or get upset
    Just say to yourself this I'll forget
    And when I come home after being away
    It might do me good just to hear you say
    Darlin' don't move an inch, keep perfectly still
    Now do with me what you will
    Sometime ago before we met
    I vowed to myself that I'd never let
    No-one at all ever tie me down
    Never dreaming that I'd see you around
    Now isn't it strange wherever you go
    It's always the same with whoever you know
    Which just goes to prove what I've been trying to say
    Looking at you the way I do (that's love)
    Promising always to be true (that's love)
    Giving each other a helping hand (that's love)
    Sharing each other's every plan, that's love
    And in love you do
    And isn't it strange wherever you go
    It's always the same with whoever you know
    Which just goes to prove what I've been dying to say
    Holding you now the way I do (that's love)
    Knowing full well you want me to (that's love)
    Telling each other how we feel (that's love)
    Knowing inside it must be real, that's love
    And in love it's true

    Covered by multiple other artists



    In this cloudy sky overhead now
    There's no guiding star I can see
    And I would be lost by each wild tempest tossed
    Oh, if I didn't know of a place we two can go ...

    There's a little cabin in the sky, Mister
    For me and for you
    I feel that it's true somehow

    Can't you see that cabin in the sky, Mister
    An acre or two of heavenly blue to plow

    We will be oh so gay
    Eat fried chicken every day
    As the angels go sailing by

    And that is why my heart is flyin' high, Mister
    'Cause I know we'll have a cabin in the sky

    We will be oh so gay
    Eat fried chicken every day
    As the angels go sailing by

    That is why my heart is flying high, baby
    'Cause I know we'll have a cabin in the sky

    Face To Face
    Composer(s): Danny Elfman - Siouxsie And The Banshees
    Performer(s): Siouxsie And The Banshees



    Face to face
    my lovely foe
    Mouth to mouth
    raining heaven's blows
    Hand on heart
    tic tac toe
    Under the stars
    naked as we flow
    Cheek to cheek
    the bitter sweet
    Commit your crime in your deadly time

    Commit your crime in your deadly time
    It's too divine
    I want to bend
    I want this bliss but something says I must resist

    Another life
    another time
    We're Siamese twins writhing intertwined
    Face to face
    no telling lies
    The masks they slide to reveal a new disguise

    You never can win
    it's the state I'm in
    This danger thrills and my conflict kills
    They say follow your heart
    follow it through
    But how can you
    when you're split in two?

    And you'll never know
    You'll never know

    One more kiss
    before we die
    Face to face
    and dream of flying
    Who are you?
    who am I?
    Wind in wings
    two angels falling
    To die like this
    with a last kiss
    It's falsehood's flame
    it's a crying shame
    Face to face
    the passions breathe
    I hate to stay but then I hate to leave

    And you'll never know
    You'll never know ...

    Performer(s): Billie Holiday
    and multiple other artists



    Sometimes I wonder what’s in store for me
    Your love could open heaven’s door to me
    But you don’t care a straw for me
    That’s life, I guess

    My days and nights are stark and hard with you
    My sugar kisses taste like salt to you
    But why should I find fault with you?
    That’s life, I guess

    The world was bright when you loved me
    Sweet was the touch of your lips
    The world went dark when you left me
    And then there came a total eclipse

    Nobody knows how cruel fate can be
    How close together love and hate can be
    Goodbye, just clean the slate for me
    That’s life, I guess

    Cabin In The Sky Composer(s): Johnny Burke - Edgar Leslie Performer(s): Fats Waller



    In the cabin high in the sky
    It was the cabin of a passenger plane
    And I was dreaming of a castle in Spain
    When I laid eyes on you

    In the cabin high in the sky
    The day was cloudy, there was rain in the air
    And as you sat there in the opposite chair, oh baby
    Your sunny smile came through

    There was an invitation in the note you gave me
    I couldn't very well refuse
    And from the moment that you started to enslave me
    I had everything to win, nothin' to lose

    In the cabin high in the sky
    'Twas like a dreamhouse in the heavenly glow
    I saw an angel and I let myself go
    I fell in love with you

    Face The Fire
    Composer(s): Dan Fogelberg
    Performer(s): Dan Fogelberg



    I hear the thunder
    Three miles away
    The island's leaking
    Into the bay
    The poison is spreading
    The demon is free
    And people are running from
    What they can't even see

    Face the fire
    You can't turn away
    The risk grows greater
    With each passing day
    The waiting's over
    The moment has come
    To kill the fire
    And turn to the sun

    They'll take your money
    And then take your health
    To line their pockets with
    Unequaled wealth
    These men are under
    The power of gold
    We won't be safe until we
    Shut them down cold

    Face the fire
    You can't turn away
    The risk grows greater
    With each passing day
    The waiting's over
    The moment has come
    To kill the fire
    And turn to the sun

    The people came to the capitol town
    One hundred thousand of them
    Laid their hearts down
    They screamed in anger
    And broadcast their fears
    Just to have them
    Fall on deaf ears

    That's life, that's what all the people say
    You're riding high in April
    Shot down in May
    But I know I'm gonna change that tune
    When I'm back on top, back on top in June

    I said that's life, and as funny as it may seem
    Some people get their kicks
    Stompin' on a dream
    But I don't let it, let it get me down
    'Cause this fine ol' world it keeps spinning around

    I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate
    A poet, a pawn and a king
    I've been up and down and over and out
    And I know one thing
    Each time I find myself, flat on my face
    I pick myself up and get back in the race

    That's life
    I tell ya, I can't deny it
    I thought of quitting baby
    But my heart just ain't gonna buy it
    And if I didn't think it was worth one single try
    I'd jump right on a big bird and then I'd fly

    I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate
    A poet, a pawn and a king
    I've been up and down and over and out
    And I know one thing
    Each time I find myself laying flat on my face
    I just pick myself up and get back in the race

    That's life
    That's life and I can't deny it
    Many times I thought of cutting out
    But my heart won't buy it
    But if there's nothing shakin' come this here July
    I'm gonna roll myself up in a big ball and die
    My, My

    We've got to face the face

    You must have heard the cautionary tales
    The dangers hidden on the cul-de-sac trails
    >From wiser men who have been through it all
    And the ghosts of failures spray-canned up on the wall

    We've got to judge the judge
    Got to find the finds
    We've got to scheme the schemes
    Have to line the lines
    We must stake the stakes
    And show the shown
    We must take the takes
    And know the known
    Try to place the place
    Where we can face the face

    Face the face-got to
    Face the face

    You must have tried and the defied belief
    Maybe found futility in insular grief
    I need your hunger just as you need mine
    A million appetites can swallow up time

    We've got to fool the fools
    And plan the plans
    We must rule the rules
    Got to stand the stands
    We must fight the fight
    And fall the falls
    We must light the light
    And call the calls
    We must race the race
    So we can face the face

    New York! Chicago!
    London and Glasgow!
    Keep looking!

    Keep on cooking
    Keep on looking
    Gotta stay on this case
    Study the pix
    Watch the fix
    We've got to find the face

    Try to place the place where we can face the face

    That's How Young I Feel
    Composer(s): Jerry Herman
    Performer(s): Bobby Hackett; Jonah Jones; Angela Lansbury



    Mame and All:
    I have the feeling that time has halted
    I'd like two straws and a choc'late malted
    'Cause that's how young I feel
    I feel like peckin' and bunny huggin'
    And Lindy hoppin' and jitterbuggin'
    'Cause that's how young I feel
    I'm mad for that big band beat
    Wanna ride in a rumble seat
    (Sheldon's got the Chevvy)
    Love a faceful of frozen custard
    To have a hot dog with sand and mustard
    And ride the Ferris wheel
    Oh, honey
    'Cause that's how young I feel
    I'm ready to ask my mom
    Can I go to the Junior Prom
    (Sheldon's got the Chevvy)
    Want a coonskin to knock about with
    To start each mornin' by givin' out
    With a Rudy Vallee squeal
    Oh, honey
    'Cause that's how young I feel

    I find I'm faced with that old sensation
    Will life go on after graduation
    'Cause that's how young I feel
    I'd love to cheer at a football rally
    And swap sorority pins with Sally
    'Cause that's how young I feel
    Love a faceful of frozen custard
    To have a hot dog with sand and mustard
    And ride the Ferris wheel
    Oh, honey
    'Cause that's how young I feel
    Young I feel
    Young I feel
    Young I feel
    That's how young
    How you, yeah, I feel!

    Cabaret Composer(s): Fred Ebb - John Kander First performance by: Jill Haworth - 1966 Covered by multiple other artists



    What good is sitting alone in your room?
    Come hear the music play
    Life is a cabaret, old chum
    come to the cabaret
    Put down the knitting, the book, and the broom
    Time for a holiday
    Life is a cabaret, old chum
    come to the cabaret
    Come taste the wine
    come hear the band
    come blow your horn
    start celebrating
    right this way
    your table's waiting
    No use permitting
    some prophet of doom to wipe every smile away
    Life is a cabaret, old chum
    so come to the cabaret!
    I used to have this girlfriend known as Elsie
    with whom I shared four sorbid rooms in Chelsea
    She wasn't what you'd call
    a blushing flower
    As a matter of fact
    she rented by the hour
    The day she died the neighbours came to snicker
    "Well, that's what comes from
    too much pills and liquor"
    But when I saw her laid out like a queen
    she was the happiest... corpse...
    I'd ever seen
    I think of Elsie to this very day
    I remember how she'd turned to me and say
    "What good is sitting alone in your room?
    Come hear the music play
    Life is a cabaret, old chum
    come to the cabaret
    And as for me
    as for me
    I made my mind up, back in Chelsea
    when I go, I'm going like Elsie
    Start by admitting from cradle to tomb
    isn't that long a stay
    Life is a cabaret, old chum
    it's only a cabaret, old chum
    And I love the cabaret
