Communicate Composer(s): The B-52's Performer(s): The B-52's
Let loose Before it causes problems Let loose Before it tears you apart Let loose Let loose
You gotta reach out - reach out and touch someone You gotta reach out - reach out and touch someone
Boy (oh girl) you better communicate Before it's too late You better start talking You better talk Let loose Before it causes problems Let loose Before it tears you apart

You better let it Talk from your heart and not just your brain Talk from your heart and not just your brain

Romancing The Stone Composer(s): Eddy Grant Performer(s): Eddy Grant
(Chorus) I'm romancing the stone
never leaving your poor heart alone Every night and every day gonna love the hurtin' away I'm romancing the stone, never leaving your poor heart alone Every night and every day gonna love the hurtin' away
Tonight, tonight I'm falling where the peaceful waters flow Where the unicorn's the last one at the water hole I have found a love so precious, like an emerald so bold It's a firelight escaping from the jeweller's hold
(Chorus)
Oh and in the heat of rapture when I feel the cold winds blow Through the broken glass, I'll see at last the sweet desire in you I will climb up on my pulpit and I'll preach a sermon, you On the mountain roads, in Harlem, feel my jeweller's hold
The Windsor Waltz Composer(s): Johnny May - Johnny Reine Performer(s): Vera Lynn; Dickie Valentine
Remember, my darling, the night that we met Dancing the old Windsor waltz I saw you, I loved you, Ill never regret Dancing the old Windsor waltz
You gave me your promise, I gave you my heart Like two other lovers, we never will part Though time passes by, we will never forget Dancing the old Windsor waltz
Traffic in the city turns my head around No, no, no, no, no Backed up on the freeway, backed up in the church Ev'rywhere you look there's a frown, frown
People keep atalkin', they don't say a word Jaw, jaw, jaw, jaw, jaw Talk up in the White House, talk up to your door So much goin' on I just can't hear

Though it's forbidden for my arms to hold you And though it's forbidden, I tease myself towards you That I hold you secretly each time we meet In these forbidden games that I play
Though it's forbidden in dim quiet places To capture the rainbows my aching heart chases My bitter sweet esctasy, come to me In these forbidden games that I play
Everyone knows you belong to another Spinning your magic for him and no other Still, I'll be content to be part of this fantasy Part of this game that I play
Though it's forbidden and you love him now I'll keep my love hidden and love you forever Through countless eternity you will be mine In these forbidden games that I play

Romance In The Dark
Composer(s): Sam Coslow - Gertrude Neisen
Performer(s): Gladys Swarthout
and multiple other artists
Romance in the dark with you
All at once I knew
Darlin' love was near
I thrill to my finger tips
I could feel your lips
Darlin' oh so near
The music was so entrancing
The lights all began to fade
I said to myself keep dancing
But only my heart obeyed
A flame grew from just a spark
When I found romance in the dark with you
The music was so entrancing
The lights all began to fade
I said to myself keep dancing
But only my heart obeyed
A flame grew from just a spark
When I found romance in the dark with you
The Wind That Shakes The Corn Performer(s): The Irish Rovers
I sat within the valley green I sat with my true love My sad heart had to choose between Old Ireland and my love I looked at her and then I thought how Ireland was torn While soft the wind blew down the glen and shook the golden corn
t'was hard the woeful words to bring to break the ties that bound But harder still to bear the shame of English chains around And so I said, the mountain glen I'll seek in early morn And join the brave united men while soft winds shook the corn
While sad I kissed away her tears my fond arms round her clung A British shot burst in our ears from out of the wild woods round One bullet pierced my true love's side a rose pierced by a thorn And in my arms in blood she died while soft winds shook the corn
So blood for blood without remorse I've taken in the glen I placed my true love's clayful corpse I joined true Irish men But around her grave I wander drear sometimes in early morn And with breaking heart sometimes I hear the wind that shakes the corn
Committed To Parkview
Composer(s): Johnny Cash
First recording/First release by: Johnny Cash and The Tennessee Three - 1975/1976
There's a man across the hall who sits staring at the floor He thinks he's Hank Williams hear him singing through the door There's a girl in 203,who stops by to visit me And she talks about her songs and the star that she should be There are lots of special people staying in or passing through And for one thing or another,committed to Parkview
There's a girl in 307,coming down on thorazine And a superstar's ex-drummer trying to kick benzedrine There's a boy just below me who's the son of some well-known He was brought in by his mother 'cause his daddy's always gone There's a bum from down on Broadway and a few quite well to dues Who have withdrawn from the rat race and committed to Parkview
There's a girl who cries above me,loud enough to wake the dead They don't know what she has taken that has scrambled up her head There's a writer and a singer who has tried and tried and tried They just brought him in this morning an attempted suicide There are those that never made it,those that did but now are through Some came of their own good chosing,some committed to Parkview
They wake us about 6:30,just before the morning meal While they're taking blood pressure,they ask us how we feel And I always say fantastic there ain't nothing wrong with me And then they give me my injection and i go right back to sleep The days are kind of foggy and the nights are dreamy too But they're taking good care of me, committed to Parkview

The Wind Composer(s): Cat Stevens First release by: Cat Stevens - 1971 Covered by multiple other artists
I listen to the wind, to the wind of my soul Where I end up, well, I think only God really knows I swam across the setting sun, but never, never, never, never I never wanted water once, no never, never, never

Romance De Valentia Composer(s): Quintero; León; Quiroga Performer(s): Raphael
Era mu poco en la vida Tan poco, que nada era Por no tener, no tenia Ni madre que lo quisiera
Era un pobre aficionao Que buscaba la ocasion De dejar en un cerrao Frente a un toro, el corazon
Romance de valentia Escrito con luna blanca Y gracia de andalucia En campos de salamanca
Embiste, toro bonito Embiste, por caridad Morir se me importa un pito Pues nadie me iba a llorar Aqui no hay plaza, ni hombre Ni traje tabaco y oro Aqui hay un niño, muy hombre Que esta delante de un toro En matarme no repares Te concedo hasta el perdon Y ya que no tengo madre La macarena me ampare Si me cuelgas de un piton
Todas las noches saltaba Sin miedo, la talanquera Y a cara o cruz se jugaba Al toro, la vida entera
Quiza fuera colorao El bure que lo embistio Y mordiendo su costao Malherido lo dejo
Romance de valentia Teñido de luna blanca Y sangre de andalucia En campos de salamanca
Adios, plaza de sevilla Ya nunca me habras de ver Pisar tu arena amarilla ¡Con tanto que los soñe! Adios, capote de seda Que fuiste mi compañero Morir en esta pelea Es cosa de buen torero Ya, vestido de alamares No ha de verme la aficion Y como no tengo madre La macarena me ampare Y me de su bendicion
Y alli quedo ante la fiera Ninguno le vio caer Nadie rezo, tan siquiera Ni un padre nuestro por el Por el ninguna serrana Lloro de luto vestida Por el ninguna campana Doblo amaneciendo el dia Pero, en cambio, entre azucenas Y entre velas enrizas En san gil, la macarena Si que lloraba de pena Por la muerte del chaval
The Wild West Is Where I Want To Be Composer(s): Tom Lehrer First release by: Tom Lehrer - 1953
Now if I may indulge in a bit of personal history a few years ago I worked for a while at the Los Alamos scientific laboratory in New Mexico I had a job there as a spy Now, I guess you know that the staff out there at that time was composed almost exclusively of spies... of one persuasion or another And, while I was out there I came to realize how much the Wild West had changed since the good old days of Wyatt Earp and Home on the Range and here then is a modern cowboy ballad commemorating that delightful metamorphosis called The Wild West Is Where I Wanna Be
Along the trail you'll find me lopin' Where the spaces are wide open In the land of the old A.E.C. (yea-hah!) Where the scenery's attractive And the air is radioactive Oh, the wild west is where I wanna be
Mid the sagebrush and the cactus I'll watch the fellas practice Droppin' bombs through the clean desert breeze I'll have on my sombrero And of course I'll wear a pair o' Levis over my lead B.V.D.'s
Ah will leave the city's rush Leave the fancy and the plush Leave the snow and leave the slush And the crowds Ah will seek the desert's hush Where the scenery is lush How I long to see the mushroom clouds
'Mid the yuccas and the thistles I'll watch the guided missiles While the old F.B.I. watches me (yea-hah!) Yes, I'll soon make my appearance (Soon as I can get my clearance) 'Cause the wild west is where I wanna be
Comment Vas-Tu Mentir? - 1963 (aka Venez Tous Avec Moi - 1974) Adapted from: C'mon Everybody - 1958 Composer(s): Eddy Mitchell; Eddie Cochran; Jerry Capehart Performer(s): Eddy Mitchell - 1963
L'autre soir lorsque tu m'as dit au revoir J'ai gardé au fond de moi un peu d'espoir Mais tu n'es pas près de revenir Avec un ami je t'ai vue partir
Comment vas-tu mentir?
Je suis sûr de moi et sûr de mes pensées J'étais sûr de toi pourtant tu m'as trompé J'attends le moment où je vais souffrir Que vas-tu me dire pour te repentir
Comment vas-tu mentir?
Tu es près de moi mais ton esprit n'est pas là Tu es tout sourire mais tu dis n'importe quoi Vraiment tu fais tout pour m'évincer Oui j'en ai assez tu peux t'en aller
Maintenant tu peux partir Maintenant tu peux partir...
Romance Composer(s): Sigmund Romberg; Otto Harbach; Oscar Hammerstein II Performer(s): Mario Lanza; and various other artists
Romance, a playboy who is born each spring To teach the nightingale to sing A very pretty song: "I love you"
Romance, a legend on an old brocade A prince who tells a country maid: "I love you"
Now where this whimsy comes from, I don't know For when it comes it's just about to go
Romance, a flower that will bloom awhile With sunshine from a lover's smile That lover's tears bedew! Ah!
Yet, when I seek this beauty Flower of youth's first dawning I find a prosy work-a-day world Stretching and yawning!
Love is locked up in cages Kept for a poet's pages Life and adventure Don't seem to be paying attention to me!
And so I dream of fair Romance And let my fancies weave pretty stories And tho' I know they are not so I like to go wand'ring amid their wistful glories
My princes become what I mould them And they stay for the breath of a sigh! I open my arms to enfold them And they're gone like a breeze rushing by
Ah, this is a humdrum world But when I dream I set it dancing When life is gray, I have a way to keep it gay Passing the time of day with love
Wild Side Of Life Composer(s): William Warren - Arlie A. Carter First release by: Jimmy Heap - 1951 Covered by multiple other artists
You wouldn't read my letter if I wrote you You asked me not to call you on the phone But there's something I'm wanting to tell you So I wrote it in the words of this song
I didn't know God made honky tonk angels I might have known you'd never make a wife You gave up the only one that ever loved you And went back to the wild side of life
The glamour of the gay night-life has lured you To the places where the wine and liquor flow Where you wait to be anybody's baby And forget the truest love you'll ever know
I didn't know God made honky tonk angels I might have known you'd never make a wife You gave up the only one that ever loved you And went back to the wild side of life
Yes it hurt me to know that you don't love me Though I know that our love's forever gone And it's killed my soul and pride, Dear, inside me When I saw you in that stranger's arms so long
I didn't know God made honky tonk angels I might have known you'd never make a wife You gave up the only one that ever loved you And went back to the wild side of life
I'll just live my life alone with mem'ries of you And dream of kisses traded for my tears And no-one will ever know how much I love you And I pray that you'll be happy through the years
I didn't know God made honky tonk angels I might have known you'd never make a wife You gave up the only one that ever loved you And went back to the wild side of life
Comment Tuer L'amant De Sa Femme Quand On A Ãté Ãlevé Comme Moi Dans La Tradition
Comment Tuer L'amant De Sa Femme Quand On A Été Élevé Comme Moi Dans La Tradition Composer(s): Jacques Brel; G. Jouannest Performer(s): Jacques Brel
Comment tuer l'amant de sa femme Quand on a été comme moi élevé Dans les traditions? Comment tuer l'amant de sa femme Quand on a été comme moi élevé Dans la religion? Il me faudrait du temps Et du temps j'en ai pas Pour elle je travaille tout l'temps La nuit je veille de nuit Le jour je veille de jour Le dimanche je fais des extras Et même si j'étais moins lâche Je touve que ce serait dommage De salir ma réputation Bien sûr je dors dans le garage Bien sûr il dort dans mon lit Bien sûr c'est moi qui fait l'ménage Mais qui n'a pas ses p'tits soucis?
Comment tuer l'amant de sa femme Quand on a été comme moi élevé Dans les traditions? Il y a l'arsenic ouais C'est trop long Il y a le révolver Mais c'est trop court Il y a l'amitié C'est trop cher Il y a le mépris C'est un péché Comment tuer l'amant d'sa femme Quand on a reçu comme moi La croix d'honneur Chez les bonnes surs? Comment tuer l'amant d'sa femme Moi qui n'ose même pas Le lui dire avec des fleurs? Comme je n'ai pas l'courage De l'insulter tout l'temps Il dit que l'amour me rend lâche Comme il est en chômage Il dit en me frappant Que l'amour le rend imprévoyant Il croit que c'est amusant Pour un homme qui a mon âge Qui n'a plus de femme et onze enfants Bien sûr je leur fais la cuisine Je bats les chiens et les tapis Le soir je leur chante "Nuit de Chine" Mais qui n'a pas ses p'tits soucis?
Pourquoi tuer l'amant d'sa femme Puisque c'est à cause de moi Qu'il est un peu vérolé? Pourquoi tuer l'amant d'ma femme Puisque c'est à cause de moi Qu'il est péniciliné?
