Rubber Bullets Composer(s): Lol Creme; Kevin Godley; Graham Gouldman Performer(s): 10cc
I went to a party at the local county jail All the cons were dancing and the band began to wail But the guys were indiscreet They were brawling in the street At the local dance at the local county jail Well the band were playing and the booze began to flow But the sound came over on the police car radio Down at precinct 49 Having a tear-gas of a time Sergeant Baker got a call from the governor of the county jail Load up, load up, load up with Rubber Bullets Load up, load up, load up with Rubber Bullets I love to hear those convicts squeal It's a shame these slugs ain't real But we can't have dancing at the local county pen Sergeant Baker and his men made a beeline for the jail And for miles around you could hear the sirens wail There's a rumour going round death row That a fuse is gonna blow At the local hop at the local county jail Sergeant Baker started talking with a bullhorn in his hand He was cool, he was clear, he was always in command He said "blood will flow here, Padre Padre you talk to your boys..." "Trust in me - God will come to set you free..." Well we don't understand why you called in the National Guard When Uncle Sam is the one who belongs in the exercise yard We all got balls and brains - but some's got balls and chains At the local dance at the local county jail Load up, load up, load up with Rubber Bullets Load up, load up, load up with Rubber Bullets Is it really such a crime for a guy to spend his time At the local dance at the local county jail At the local dance at the local county jail What you gonna do about it what you gonna do? What you gonna do about it what you gonna do?
There Must Be A Way Composer(s): David Saxon - Sammy Gallop Performer(s): Joni James and multiple other artists
There isn't a place I can go a place where you won't be missed for there's not a place that I know where mem ries of you don't exist
But there must be a way to help me forget that we're through there must be a way to stop me from dreaming of you There must be a star in the skies that isn't reflecting your eyes I just don't know how to disguise how much I miss you There must be a song that doesn't remind me of you there must be a kiss to thrill me like yours used to do I looked for a way to be happy, happy with somebody new Oh, there must be a way but I can't find the way without you
Afuera hace frío adentro, recuerdos Mi viejo y su casa en un cerro del puerto Y allá en Santiago mi madre en silencio contando las horas por si un día yo vuelvo
¿Y qué puedo hacer ahora? si tan sólo quedan horas y ya mañana hay que partir? Llorando en solitario porque se queda en Santiago lo que me da fuerzas para vivir
¿Quién me presta maquillaje para continuar mi viaje? Hay otros amigos... por ahí...
Ahora me siento un poco el hermano de mi pasado y de un futuro un tanto incierto Con cuatro maletas en cien aeropuertos Y esta guitarra para empezar de nuevo...
Rubber Ball Composer(s): Aaron Schroeder; Ann Orlowski Performer(s): Bobby Vee; and various other artists
Rubber ball, I come bouncing back to you Rubber ball, I'll come bouncing back to you Ah-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I'm like a rubber ball Baby that's all that I am to you (bouncy, bouncy) (bouncy, bouncy) Just a rubber ball 'cause you think you can be true to two (bouncy, bouncy) (bouncy, bouncy) You bounce my heart around (You don't even put her down) And like a rubber ball, I come bouncing back to you Rubber ball, I come bouncing back to you
If you stretch my love till it's thin enough to tear I'll just stretch my arms to reach you anywhere And like a rubber ball, I'll come bouncing back to you Rubber ball, I come bouncing back to you.
You bounce my heart around (You don't even put her down) And like a rubber ball, I come bouncing back to you Rubber ball, I come bouncing back to you Ah-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh (Bouncy, bouncy) (bouncy, bouncy) (Bouncy, bouncy) (bouncy, bouncy) Eee-eee-eee
I'm like a rubber band When on my shoulder you do tap (bouncy, bouncy) (bouncy, bouncy) Just a rubber band Because my heartstrings, they just snap (bouncy, bouncy) (bouncy, bouncy) You go and squeeze me till I'm all aflame (She calls you by some other guy's name) But like a rubber ball, I come bouncing back to you Rubber ball, I come bouncing back to you Rubber ball, I'll come bouncing back to you
Rubber ball, I'll come bouncing back to you Rubber ball, I'll come bouncing back to you
There Must Be A Reason Composer(s): Benny Davis - Ted Murray Performer(s): Frankie Laine and multiple other artists
There must be a reason for rain drops to fall There must be a reason why mountains are tall And why are the stars in the sky There must be a reason why
There must be a reason for rivers to flow For beautiful trees and for flowers that grow And why have the birds' wings to fly There must be a reason why
The changes from season to season The dawning that brings a new day These wonders must all have a reason It was intended that way
There must be a reason for falling in love It must have been planned up in heaven above And why are we so much in love, you and I There must be a reason why
The changes from season to season The dawning that brings a new day These wonders must all have a reason It was intended that way
There must be a reason for falling in love It must have been planned up in heaven above And why are we so much in love, you and I There must be a reason why
Contemplation Rose Composer(s): Van Morrison Performer(s): Van Morrison
Puerto Rican Nursery Rhymes Angels in the snow and thyme And I'm keeping my mind on that rose In a church in Spanish Harlem
Got Watchtowers and Awakes for free In the laundromat for you and me But you can't take me down that way As I'm not sinking
And if we go down one time Next times not gonna be the last time And I'm contemplating that rose In a church in Spanish Harlem Didn't I bring you precious gifts Came to kiss you on the lips Didn't even appear To beg your pardon
To lay out in the morning sun Feel the cool breeze and the one Right there in, in my garden Puerto Rican Nursery Rhymes And angels, and angels, and the snow and thyme But I'm keeping my mind on that rose In a church in Spanish Harlem

There Lived A King Composer(s): Arthur Sullivan - William Schwenck Gilbert Performer(s): Owen Brannigan
Don Alhambra: There lived a King, as I've been told In the wonder-working days of old When hearts were twice as good as gold And twenty times as mellow Good-temper triumphed in his face And in his heart he found a place For all the erring human race And every wretched fellow When he had Rhenish wine to drink It made him very sad to think That some, at junket or at jink Must be content with toddy
Marcos And Giuseppe: With toddy, must be content with toddy
Don Alhambra: He wished all men as rich as he (And he was rich as rich could be) So to the top of every tree Promoted everybody
Marcos And Giuseppe: Now, that's the kind of King for me He wished all men as rich as he So to the top of every tree Promoted everybody!
Don Alhambra: Lord Chancellors were cheap as sprats And Bishops in their shovel hats Were plentiful as tabby cats In point of fact, too many Ambassadors cropped up like hay Prime Ministers and such as they Grew like asparagus in May And Dukes were three a penny On every side Field-Marshals gleamed Small beer were Lords-Lieutenant deemed With Admirals the ocean teemed All round his wide dominions
Marcos And Giuseppe: All round his wide dominions
Don Alhambra: And Party Leaders you might meet In twos and threes in every street Maintaining, with no little heat Their various opinions
Marcos And Giuseppe: Now that's a sight you couldn't beat Two Party Leaders in each street Maintaining, with no little heat Their various opinions
Don Alhambra: That King, although no one denies His heart was of abnormal size Yet he'd have acted otherwise If he had been acuter The end is easily foretold When every blessed thing you hold Is made of silver, or of gold You long for simple pewter When you have nothing else to wear But cloth of gold and satins rare For cloth of gold you cease to care Up goes the price of shoddy
Marcos And Giuseppe: Up goes the price of shoddy
Don Alhambra: In short, whoever you may be To this conclusion you'll agree When every one is somebodee Then no one's anybody!
Marcos And Giuseppe: Now that's as plain as plain can be To this conclusion we agree
All: When every one is somebodee Then no one's anybody!

There Is Something On Your Mind Composer(s): Big Jay McNeely First release by: Big Jay McNeely - 1959 Covered by multiple other artists
By the way you look at me I truly do believe Something is worrying Your troubled mind
There is something on your mind By the way you look at me There is something on your mind, baby By the way you look at me Whoa, yeah
Can what you're thinking Bring our happiness
Or will it bring misery
No, no, no, no, no, no Please don't try to tell me I think I understand
No, no, don't try To tell me, pretty baby I tell you, I think I understand, whoa, yeah
You want me to try and forget you Well, I'll do the best I can
You know it's so hard To be in love with someone It's so hard to be in love with Someone that don't love you
And it carries a Heavy burden on your heart To know that the someone they love Is your very best friend
I tell you, when somebody else Is rocking your cradle Better than you can Rock your cradle yourself There's only one thing left In this world for you to do
Pack your clothes, turn around Walk slowly out the door Look over your left shoulder Hang your head and say
If you ever think about me If I ever cross your mind Girl, girl If you ever think about me Pretty baby If I ever cross your mind
Whoa, yeah, well, you know You know I'm yours I know, I know your mine
After you can't stand it no more You go on downtown to the pawn shop And get yourself a pistol
And then you make it Back up on the scene Where your loved one and your Best friend are now together
You go right in and bust Down the door and shoot him You can't shoot her Because you know if you shoot her All of your love and your long Lifetime will be gone forever
And just as you make it up In your mind to forgive her Here come another one of Your best friends through the door
This really makes you blow your top And you go right ahead and go in person To your heart and shoot her
And realizing what you've done You say, baby, please forgive me I'm sorry
And with her last dying breath She looks up at you and say Do do do do, whoa, oh...

Amou daquela vez como se fosse a última Beijou sua mulher como se fosse a última E cada filho seu como se fosse o único E atravessou a rua com seu passo tímido Subiu a construção como se fosse máquina Ergueu no patamar quatro paredes sólidas Tijolo com tijolo num desenho mágico Seus olhos embotados de cimento e lágrima Sentou pra descansar como se fosse sábado Comeu feijão com arroz como se fosse um príncipe Bebeu e soluçou como se fosse um náufrago Dançou e gargalhou como se ouvisse música E tropeçou no céu como se fosse um bêbado E flutuou no ar como se fosse um pássaro E se acbou no chão feito um pacote flácido Agonizou no meio do passeio público Morreu na contramão atrapalhando o tráfego
Amou daquela vez como se fosse o último Beijou sua mulher como se fosse a única E cada filho seu como se fosse o pródigo E atravessou a rua com seu passo bêbado Subiu a construção como se fosse sólido Ergueu no patamar quatro paredes mágicas Tijolo com tijolo num desenho lógico Seus olhos embotados de cimento e tráfego Sentou pra descansar como se fosse um príncipe Comeu feijão com arroz como se fosse máquina Dançou e gargalhou como se fosse o próximo E tropeçou no céu como se ouvisse música E flutuou no ar como se fosse sábado E se acabou no chão feito um pacote tímido Agonizou no meio do passeio náufrago Morreu na contramão atrapalhando o público

There Is Always One More Time Composer(s): Doc Pomus Performer(s): B.B. King; Harry Connick Jr.; Johnny Adams
If your whole life somehow Wasn't much 'til now And you've almost lost Your will to live No matter what you've been through Long as there's breath in you There is always one more time
And if your dreams go bad Every one that you've had That don't mean that some dreams Can't come true 'Cause it's funny about dreams As strange as it seems There is always one more time
Oh turnin' corners Is only a state of mind Keeping your eyes closed Is worse than being blind
If there's a heart out there Looking for someone to share I don't care if it's been Turned down time and time again And if we meet one day Please don't walk away 'Cause there is always one more time There is always one more time
Constitucion De Noche Composer(s): Adrián Abonizio Performer(s): Juan Carlos Baglietto
La noche en Constitución tiene un aire particular la lleva la brisa del rio la trae los autos al clarear Nunca andes solo por ahi que te roban el corazón las brujas del trafico pintarrajeadas con algo tan oscuro Y hay quien ve la luna como por primera vez enganchada en un cartel que dice: "No habra mas penas" Enganchada en un cartel que dice: "No habra mas penas" La botella calma su bolor de Santiago bajo y bajo lustro tan tiempo que si pagaran por metro el tendria un continente de cuero Como la capa de un torero roja y roja es Constitución la viven gastandio las balas del diablo la sangre del alcohol Y hay quien ve la luna ... Enganchada en un cartel que dice: "Siganme"
