    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

    Don't bottle it up
    Don't bottle it up
    Like a bottle of pop
    A bottle of 7-up

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

    C-o-m-m-u-n-i-c-a-t-e
    (your brain that is)
    C-o-m-m-u-n-i-c-a-t-e

    Talk from your heart and not just your brain
    Talk from your heart and not just your brain

    C-o-m-m-u-n-i-c-a-t-e

    Baby baby bounce it off your satellite - yeah

    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

    (Chorus)

    Remember, my darling, the night that we met
    Dancing the old Windsor waltz
    I saw you, I loved you, I’ll never regret

    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

    Com, commotion
    Git, git, git, gone
    Com, commotion
    Git, git, git, gone

    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

    Com, commotion
    Git, git, git, gone
    Com, commotion
    Git, git, git, gone

    Hurryin' to get there so you save some time
    Run, run, run, run, run
    Rushin' to the treadmill, rushin' to get home
    Worry 'bout the time you save, save

    Com, commotion
    Git, git, git, gone
    Com, commotion
    Git, git, git, gone

    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

    Performer(s): The 5th Dimension



    If the winds of heaven would only blow the door shut
    I could keep you here for a little while

    If the winds of heaven would only blow the light out
    In the friendly dark, you'd begin to smile

    If the winds of heaven would only blow you my way
    I would hold you close for a little while

    If the winds of heaven would only blow the roof off
    You and I would fly half a million miles to a happy star
    On the winds of heaven

    I didn't have to worry about being a common man, you said
    David, you don't have to worry about rising to the top
    you said, you said, you said I didn't have to swear by my blood
    that oh baby, that one day your heartache would stop
    then you put your arms around me, and you said
    you never, never, never, never cared
    if I never changed one single grain of sand
    you said, I love you, baby (whoah)

    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

    Romance Del Enamorado Y Muerte
    Composer(s): Victor Jara
    Performer(s): Victor Jara



    Un sueño soñaba anoche
    soñito del alma mia
    soñaba con mis amores
    que en mis brazos los tenia
    Vi entrar señora muy blanca
    muy mas que la nieve fria
    por donde has entrado amor
    como has entrado a mi vida
    Las puertas estan cerradas
    ventanas y celosias
    no soy el amor amante
    soy la muerte Dios me envia
    Ay muerte tan rigorosa
    dejame vivir un dia
    un dia no puede ser
    una hora tienes de vida
    Muy de prisa se cansaba
    mas de prisa se vestia
    ya se va para la calle
    en donde su amor vivia
    Abreme la puerta blanca
    abreme la puerta niña
    como te podre yo abrir
    si la ocasion no es venida
    Mi padre no fue a palacio
    mi madre no esta dormida
    si no me abres esta noche
    ya no me abriras querida
    La muerte me anda buscando
    junto a ti vida seria
    vete bajo mi ventana
    donde labraba y cocia
    Te echare cordon de seda
    para que subas arriba
    y si el hilo no alcanzare
    mis trenzas añadiria
    Se rompio el cordon de seda
    la muerte que ahi venia
    vamos el enamorado
    que la hora ya es cumplida

    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

    I listen to my words, but they fall far below
    I let my music take me where my heart wants to go
    I swam across the devil's lake, but never, never, never, never
    I'll never make the same mistake, no never, never, never

    Hear me now, that's me now
    Hear me now, watch me
    Hear me now, that's me now
    Hear me now, watch me

    What me say now, tell me to the wind
    Turn on down the corner, get my butt movin'
    Open your heart to the invitation
    And it's like this, how we begun

    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 devil's lake, but never, never, never, never
    I'll never make the same mistake, no never, never, never

    One time, tell me now
    Just how we begin
    Tell me now, back and back out in the wind
    It's like this, that's how we begin
    It's like that now, back up in the wind
    It's like this, that's how we begin
    It's like that now, back up in the wind
    It's like this, that's how we begin
    Tell me now, back and back out in the wind

    Listen to it
    Listen to the wind
    Listen to it
    Listen to the wind

    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 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 sœurs?
    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?
