    The Boston Rag
    Composer(s): Walter Becker - Donald Fagen
    Performer(s): Steely Dan



    Any news was good news
    And the feeling was bad at home
    I was out of mind and you
    Were on the phone
    Lonnie was the kingpin
    Back in nineteen sixty-five
    I was singing this song
    When Lonnie came alive

    Bring back the Boston Rag
    Tell all your buddies
    That it ain't no drag
    Bring back the Boston Rag

    You were Lady Bayside
    There was nothing that I could do
    So I pointed my car down
    Seventh Avenue
    Lonnie swept the playroom
    And he swallowed up all he found
    It was forty-eight hours til
    Lonnie came around

    Festa Da Natureza
    Composer(s): Gereba; Patativa do Assaré
    Performer(s): Raimundo Fagner



    Chegando o tempo do inverno
    Tudo é amoroso e terno
    No fundo do pai eterno
    Sua bondade sem fim

    Sertão amargo esturricado
    Ficando transformado
    No mais imenso jardim
    Num lindo quadro de beleza

    Do campo até na floresta
    As aves lá se manifestam
    Compondo a sagrada orquestra
    Da natureza em festa

    Tudo é paz tudo é carinho
    No despertar de seus ninhos
    Cantam alegres os passarinhos
    O camponês vai prazenteiro

    Plantar o seu feijão ligeiro
    Pois é o que vinga primeiro
    Nas terras do meu sertão
    Depois que o poder celeste

    Mandar a chuva pro nordeste
    De verde a terra se veste
    E corre água em borbotão

    A mata com seu verdume
    E as fulô com seu perfume
    Se enfeita com vagalumes
    Nas noites de escuridão

    Nesta festa alegre e boa
    Canta o sapo na lagoa
    O trovão no ar reboa

    Com a força desta água nova
    O peixe e o sapo na desova
    O camaleão que se renova
    No verde-cana que cor

    Grande cordão de borboletas
    Amarelinhas brancas e pretas
    Fazendo tanta pirueta
    Com medo do bentiví

    Entre a mata verdejante
    Seu pajé extravagante
    O gavião assartante
    Que vai atrás da jurití

    Nesta harmonia comum
    Num alegre zum zum zum
    Cantam todos os bichinhos...

    The Boss
    Composer(s): Nickolas Ashford - Valerie Simpson
    Performer(s): Diana Ross



    Fancy me
    Thought I had my degree
    In life and how love
    Ought to be a run

    I had a one step plan to prove it
    Guide in my pocket for fools
    Folly and fun
    Love had to show me one thing

    I was so right
    So right
    Thought I could turn emotion
    On and off
    I was so sure
    So sure (I was so sure)
    But love taught me
    Who was who was who was the boss
    (Taught me who was who was the boss)

    I'd defy
    Anyone who claimed that I
    Didn't control whatever moved in my soul
    I could tempt
    Touch delight
    Just because you fell for me
    Why should I feel uptight
    Love had to show me one thing:

    I was so right
    So right
    Thought I could turn emotion
    On and off
    I was so sure
    So sure (I was so sure)
    But love taught me
    Who was who was who was the boss
    (Taught me who was who was the boss)

    Love taught me
    Taught me
    Taught me
    Taught me

    I was so right
    So right
    Thought I could turn emotion
    On and off
    I was so sure
    So sure (I was so sure)
    But love taught me
    Who was who was who was the boss
    (Taught me who was who was the boss)

    Can't Get By Without You Composer(s): Michael Denne - Ken Gold Performer(s): The Real Thing



    No way - no way - no way When I leave your door when we say good-night It hurts me more and more 'cause girl it just ain't right To end the day like this with no more than a kiss And spend the night just dreaming of the things we're gonna miss If I have my way girl we'd be together more and more each day We'd go on forever lovers hand in hand can't you understand Girl you've got to be my woman I've got to be your man! 'Cause I can't get by without you I need you more each day The way I feel about you leaves nothing more to say 'Cause I love you girl I need you And I can't get by without you - no way! It's a sad affair wasting precious time that you and I could share Girl it's such a crime to hear you call my name it's a crying shame When we're not together then there's only time to blame There will come a day girl I do believe It's not too far away when I can say good-night And still be by your side to dry the tears you cried And I'll have all the love I need to keep me satisfied 'Cause I can't get by without you I need you more each day I can't get by without you I need you more each day Can't get by without you - can't get by without you Can't get by without you I can't get by without you I need you more each day I can't get by without you I need you more each day

    La, la, la, laia, lai, ala
    La, la, la, laia, la, la, la

    Tanta gente cansada, calada sem voz
    Sem rumo sem riso, sem vez
    Sem passado a lembrar
    Nem canção pra cantar
    Mas é festa e a ordem do rei é cantar
    E o canto calado sem voz
    Pensamento no tempo a voar

    A rua em festa e em mim
    Todo mundo rodando a dançar
    Eu na roda, na dança e você
    Você nem viu
    Mas mesmo assim fui feliz
    Fui criança na dança sem você
    Com certeza o que é bom é pra dar
    Não prometi

    I can't wait
    I've been waiting so long for this night
    My songs they were meant for this night
    If I find you alone
    Then I'll know I was right

    Take this time to remember
    That once we were one
    I can't take this time that you've gone
    Please remember that once we loved

    The carnival started today
    And everyone lives for the sight
    The children will dance all the day
    And sing all night

    Yes, the carnival started today
    My arms will be looking for you
    And maybe you'll reach for my hand
    And if you do......

    La, la, la, laia, la, la, la
    La, la, la, laia, lai, ala
    La, la, la, laia, la, la, la

    The Border
    Composer(s): Russ Ballard - Dewey Bunnell
    Performer(s): America



    You must be lost in a faraway land
    I searched forever your footprints in the sand
    I feel you need me, I have to answer
    That desperate call that I do not understand

    A burning bridge, a lonely highway
    Another dark night thinking alone
    What could've happened, am I just dreaming
    It doesn't matter but there's one thing that I know

    If I could make it to the border
    If I could make it to the coast
    If I could make it to the border
    I'd be in the arms of the girl I love the most

    Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do
    Make it to the border

    So on and on I keep on running
    To make the border before the light
    Just one more river, then I can make it
    Again you'll be in my arms tonight

    If I could make it to the border
    If I could make it to the coast
    If I could make it to the border
    I'd be in the arms of the girl I love the most

    Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do
    Make it to the border
    Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do
    Make it to the border

    If I could make it to the border
    If I could make it to the coast
    If I could make it to the border
    I'd be in the arms of the girl I love the most

    Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do
    Make it to the border
    Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do
    Make it to the border
    Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do
    Make it to the border
    Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do

    Ferryboat Serenade ((Italian Version: La Piccinina (by Carlo Buti)) Composer(s): Harold Adamson - Eldo DiLazzaro - Mario Panzeri Performer(s): The Andrews Sisters and multiple other artists



    I have never been aboard a steamer
    I am just content to be a dreamer
    Even if I could afford a steamer
    I will take the ferry boat every time

    I love to ride the ferry
    Where music is so merry
    There's a man who plays the concertina
    On the moonlit upper deck arena

    While boys and girls are dancing
    While sweethearts are romancing
    Life is like a mardi-gras
    Funiculi, funicula

    Happy, we cling together
    Happy, we sing together
    Happy, with the ferry boat serenade

    I am happy, very, very happy
    When we're on the ferry
    The music is so merry
    There's a man who plays the concertina
    On the moonlit upper deck arena, arena

    I love to ride the ferry
    Where music is so merry
    There's a man who always plays the concertina, oh my
    On the moonlit upper deck arena, by and by

    While the boys and girls are dancing, oh dancing
    While, while the sweethearts are romancing
    Life is like a mardi-gras
    Funiculi, funicula

    Happy, we cling together
    Happy, we sing together
    Happy with the ferry boat serenade

    I love to ride the ferry
    Sailing, sailing where, where the music is so merry
    There's a man who just plays the concertina
    On the moonlit upper deck arena

    All the while the boys and girls are dancing
    Look around and you see sweethearts romancing
    Life is like a mardi-gras
    Funiculi, funicula

    Happy, we cling together
    Happy, we sing together
    Happy, with the ferry boat serenade

    The Book Of My Life
    Composer(s): Sting
    Performer(s): Sting



    Let me watch by the fire and remember my days
    And it may be a trick of the firelight
    But the flickering pages that trouble my sight
    Is a book I'm afraid to write

    It's the book of my days, it's the book of my life
    And it's cut like a fruit on the blade of a knife
    And it's all there to see as the section reveals
    There's some sorrow in every life

    If it reads like a puzzle, a wandering maze
    Then I won't understand 'til the end of my days
    I'm still forced to remember
    Remember the words of my life

    There are promises broken and promises kept
    Angry words that were spoken, when I should have wept
    There's a chapter of secrets, and words to confess
    If I lose everything that I possess
    There's a chapter on loss and a ghost who won't die
    There's a chapter on love where the ink's never dry
    There are sentences served in a prison I built out of lies

    Though the pages are numbered
    I can't see where they lead
    For the end is a mystery no-one can read
    In the book of my life

    There's a chapter on fathers a chapter on sons
    There are pages of conflicts that nobody won
    And the battles you lost and your bitter defeat
    There's a page where we fail to meet

    There are tales of good fortune that couldn't be planned
    There's a chapter on god that I don't understand
    There's a promise of Heaven and Hell but I'm damned if I see

    Though the pages are numbered
    I can't see where they lead
    For the end is a mystery no-one can read
    In the book of my life

    Now the daylight's returning
    And if one sentence is true
    All these pages are burning
    And all that's left is you

    Though the pages are numbered
    I can't see where they lead
    For the end is a mystery no-one can read
    In the book of my life

    Can't Fight This Feeling
    Composer(s): Kevin Cronin
    Originally performed by: REO Speedwagon



    I can't fight this feeling any longer
    And yet I'm still afraid to let it flow
    What started out as friendship, has grown stronger
    I only wish I had the strength to let it show
    I tell myself that I can't hold out forever
    I said there is no reason for my fear
    'Cause I feel so secure when we're together
    You give my life direction
    You make everything so clear

    And even as I wander
    I'm keeping you in sight
    You're a candle in the window
    On a cold, dark winter's night
    And I'm getting closer than I ever thought I might

    And I can't fight this feeling anymore
    I've forgotten what I started fighting for
    It's time to bring this ship into the shore
    And throw away the oars, forever

    'Cause I can't fight this feeling anymore
    I've forgotten what I started fighting for
    And if I have to crawl upon the floor
    Come crushing through your door
    Baby, I can't fight this feeling anymore

    My life has been such a whirlwind since I saw you
    I've been running round in circles in my mind
    And it always seems that I'm following you, girl
    'Cause you take me to the places that alone I'd never find

    And even as I wander I'm keeping you in sight
    You're a candle in the window on a cold, dark winter's night
    And I'm getting closer than I ever thought I might

    And I can't fight this feeling anymore
    I've forgotten what I started fighting for
    It's time to bring this ship into the shore
    And throw away the oars, forever

    'Cause I can't fight this feeling anymore
    I've forgotten what I started fighting for
    And if I have to crawl upon the floor
    Come crushing through your door
    Baby, I can't fight this feeling anymore

    Composer(s): Gerry Marsden
    Performer(s): Gerry & The Pacemakers



    Life goes on day after day
    Hearts torn in every way

    So ferry 'cross the Mersey
    'cause this land's the place I love
    and here I'll stay

    People they rush everywhere
    Each with their own secret care

    So ferry 'cross the Mersey
    and always take me there
    The place I love

    People around every corner
    They seem to smile and say
    We don't care what your name is boy
    We'll never turn you away

    So I'll continue to say
    Here I always will stay

    So ferry 'cross the Mersey
    'cause this land's the place I love
    and here I'll stay
    and here I'll stay
    Here I'll stay

    There's a book that my mother gave me

    I shall find peace of mind when I look
    And the wisdom of all the ages
    Is there in my mother's book

    Find your poor self dead
    Well now you wake up in the mornin'
    Find your poor self dead

    Let it go, what I say, yeah

    Can't explain
    You always wanna start a fight
    Can't explain
    You always wanna start a fight

    Well now you wake up in the mornin'
    Find your poor self dead
    Well now you wake up in the mornin'
    Find your poor self dead

    Let it go, one more time, yeah

    Ferris Wheel
    Composer(s): Donovan
    Performer(s): Donovan;
    Lena Horne; Gabor Szabo



    Walking in the seashore twilight
    It's then you spy carnival lights
    You slowly near the magic sight
    Tangerine sky minus one kite
    Take time an' tie your pretty hair
    The gypsy driver doesn't care
    If you catch your hair in the ferris wheel on top
    In the ferris wheel on top
    A silver bicycle you shall ride
    To bathe your mind in the quiet tide
    Far off as it seems your hair will mend
    With a Samson's strength to begin again
    Take time an' dry your pretty eyes
    Watch the seagull fly far-off skies
    To build its nest in the ferris wheel on top
    In the ferris wheel on top
    If ever I reach her
    And the moral here, if any, my friend
    Follow through your dream to the end
    Dig the seagull fly across the sky
    To build its nest in the ferris wheel
    In the ferris wheel

    Opportunity Please Knock
    Composer(s): Oscar Brown Jr.
    Performer(s): Chris Connor
    and multiple other artists



    The older I grow
    The older I grow
    With every tick of the clock
    While I wait for mister Opportunity to knock
    Opportunity, just knock!
    Opportunity, please knock!

    You don't have to come
    Beatin' on no drum
    You don't have to bam
    Like a battering ram
    And beat down my door
    Because I couldn't stand the shock!
    Opportunity, just knock!
    Opportunity, please knock!

    Don't come with a pash
    Or a lightnin' flash
    Don't land in my room
    With a thunderous boom
    Don't fly through my window
    Like a house brick or rock
    Opportunity, just knock!
    Opportunity, please knock!

    Knock and then enter
    You'll be more than welcome here!
    Show me a chance that's just halfway fair
    And let me take it from there!
    Opportunity, please
    Opportunity, please knock!

    There's a ship out at sea
    Comin' in for me
    I'm all set to go
    Knock and let me know
    And then get on your mock
    And I will race you to the dock!
    Opportunity, just knock!
    Opportunity, please knock!

    Opportunity, just knock!
    Opportunity, just knock!
    Opportunity, please, please!

    Can't Even Get The Blues No More Composer(s): Thomas William Damphier - Rick Carnes Performer(s): Reba McEntire



    I walk into the kitchen
    The silverware is gone
    The furniture is missing
    I guess you got it all uh-huh
    This is where it ought to hurt
    Seems like every time you leave me
    You try to think of something worse

    I can't even get the blues no more
    I try to worry like I did before
    And nothing happens when I walk the floor
    So what am I supposed to do
    I toss and turn but then I fall asleep
    I'm going under but it's not too deep
    You want to hurt me but it's just no use
    I can't even get the blues

    Well this time ain't no different
    The sun's up in the sky
    Sitting on the back porch
    Clouds are rolling by
    Oh this is where it ought to rain
    But it doesn't really matter
    To me it's all about the same

    I can't even get the blues no more
    I try to worry like I did before
    And nothing happens when I walk the floor
    So what am I supposed to do
    I toss and turn but then I fall asleep
    I'm going under but it's not too deep
    You want to hurt me but it's just no use
    I can't even get the blues
    (You try and hurt me)

    I can't even get the blues no more
    I try to worry like I did before
    And nothing happens when I walk the floor
    So what am I supposed to do
    I toss and turn but then I fall asleep
    I'm going under but it's not too deep
    You want to hurt me but it's just no use
    I can't even get the blues

    Fernando
    Composer(s): B. Tommy Andersson; Björn Ulvaeus
    Performer(s): ABBA;
    and various other artists



    Can you hear the drums Fernando?
    I remember long ago another starry night like this
    In the firelight Fernando
    You were humming to yourself and softly strumming your guitar
    I could hear the distant drums
    And sounds of bugle calls were coming from afar
    They were closer now Fernando
    Every hour every minute seemed to last eternally
    I was so afraid Fernando
    We were young and full of life and none of us prepared to die
    And I'm not ashamed to say
    The roar of guns and cannons almost made me cry

    There was something in the air that night
    The stars were bright, Fernando
    They were shining there for you and me
    For liberty, Fernando
    Though I never thought that we could lose
    There's no regret
    If I had to do the same again
    I would, my friend, Fernando

    Now we're old and grey Fernando
    And since many years I haven't seen a rifle in your hand
    Can you hear the drums Fernando?
    Do you still recall the frightful night we crossed the Rio Grande?
    I can see it in your eyes
    How proud you were to fight for freedom in this land

    There was something in the air that night
    The stars were bright, Fernando
    They were shining there for you and me
    For liberty, Fernando
    Though I never thought that we could lose
    There's no regret
    If I had to do the same again
    I would, my friend, Fernando

    There was something in the air that night
    The stars were bright, Fernando
    They were shining there for you and me
    For liberty, Fernando
    Though I never thought that we could lose
    There's no regret
    If I had to do the same again
    I would, my friend, Fernando
    Yes, if I had to do the same again
    I would, my friend, Fernando...

    Peace, Brother!
    Composer(s): Jimmy Van Heusen - Eddie De Lange
    Performer(s): Mildred Bailey; Benny Goodman



    Peace brother, ain't you glad you're young and able?
    Peace brother, chicken's on the table
    Peace brother, trouble's just another fable
    So they say!

    Peace brother, ain't you glad you're through with hoein'?
    Peace brother, cabin light's a-glowin'
    Peace brother, lover's waitin' and you're goin'
    Right that way!

    Don't you get enough to eat?
    Don't need shoes for your big feet!
    Got a smile from ear to ear
    Don't let it disappear
    You can't be beat!

    Peace brother, all your sins can be forgiven
    Peace brother, ain't you glad you're livin'?
    Peace brother, up to heaven you'll be driven
    On that judgment day!

    Can't Cross Over (River Come Down)
    Composer(s): Irving Burgie
    Performer(s): Miriam Makeba
    and multiple other artists



    The river come down
    The river come down
    River come down
    I can't cross over
    Why-o, why-o, why-o
    I can't cross over

    I wanted to go down
    To the other side of town
    There was water all around
    And I couldn't cross over
    Why-o, why-o, why-o
    I can't cross over

    Well a gal she come by
    And I give she the eye
    So she started to sigh
    And I couldn't cross over
    Why-o, why-o, why-o
    I can't cross over

    The river come down
    The river come down
    River come down
    And I couldn't cross over
    Why-o, why-o, why-o
    I can't cross over

    Now bird he can fly
    Foggy jump high
    Fishes never die
    And I couldn't cross over
    Why-o, why-o, why-o
    I can't cross over

    A well I stole me a kiss
    I couldn't resist
    Just think what I'd a miss
    If I could have crossed over
    Why-o, why-o, why-o
    I can't cross over

    The river come down
    The river come down
    River come down
    And I couldn't cross over
    Why-o, why-o, why-o
    I can't cross over

    I had a curiosity
    Now I got a family
    Bouncing baby on my knee
    'Cause I couldn't cross over
    Why-o, why-o, why-o
    I can't cross over

    So when you see your neighbor daughter
    Better run for the water
    You'll do things you hadn't ought to
    If you can't cross over
    Why-o, why-o, why-o
    I can't cross over

    The river come down
    The river come down
    River come down
    And I couldn't cross over
    Why-o, why-o, why-o
    I can't cross over
