Trip Around The Sun Composer(s): Al Anderson - Stephen Bruton - Sharon Vaughn Performer(s): Al Anderson and multiple other artists
Here Im singin happy birthday Better think about the about the wish I make This year gone by aint been a piece of cake Everydays a revolution Pull it together and it comes undone Just one more candle and a trip around the sun
Im just hangin on while this old world keeps spinning And its good to know its out of my control If theres one thing that Ive learned from all this livin Is that it wouldnt change a thing if I let go
No you never see it comin Always wind up wonderin where it went Only time will tell if it was time well spent Its another revelation Celebrating what I should have done With these souvenirs of my trip around the sun
Im just hangin on while this old world keeps spinning And its good to know its out of my control If theres one thing that Ive learned from all this livin Is that it wouldnt change a thing if I let go
Im just hangin on while this old world keeps spinning And its good to know its out of my control If theres one thing that Ive learned from all this livin Is that it wouldnt change a thing if I let go
Yes Ill make a resolution That Ill never make another one Just enjoy this ride on my trip around the sun Just enjoy this ride... until it's done
I Promise You Composer(s): Harold Arlen; Johnny Mercer Performer(s): Bing Crosby & Betty Hutton and multiple other artists
Hate to be pedantic, or too darn romantic But gee, these goodbyes do things to my eyes So I hope that the same old phrase still applies....
I promise you a faithful heart One that has always been free At night there's a handful of stars That I pretend belong to me
I promise you that rich or poor I would be happy to share The arms you have taken possession of The sun on the meadow, afire in the shadow I promise you I'll be there
A faithful heart, a star or two And I'll be there, I promise you
I promise you
I would be happy to share The arms you have taken possession of The sun on the meadow, afire in the shadow I promise you I'll be there
A faithful heart, a star or two And I'll be there, I promise you
Eastern Rain Composer(s): Joni Mitchell
Performer(s): Fairport Convention; Richard Thompson
Rain comes from the east one night We watch it come To hang like beaded curtains till the morning sun Water dripping from our clothes You, with raindrops on your nose Ask me sadly, "Please don't go away, love" "Till the rain is done," I say, "I'll stay now"
Rain outside but inside we don't mind at all Shadows by the fire Slowly climb and fall Kisses fade and leave no trace Whispers vanish into space None will send me on a chase to nowhere What matters if I were the first to go there?
Morning comes up from the east We watch it come And far away now rolls the angry rain god's drum You, with daybreak in your eyes Afraid to speak for telling lies I watch you search for some reply to lend me But when the rain is done we'll stop pretending
I Promise To Remember Composer(s): Jimmy Smith; Jimmy Castor Performer(s): The Jimmy Castor Bunch and multiple other artists
I promise to love you no matter what you do I want you, I need you, I love you through and through I promise, promise to be true
I promise to remember the meaning of romance If I've done something wrong, give me one more chance I promise, promise to be true
My darling I have promised to give you my heart Oh darling promise me we will never part I know I'm not a king and I'm not very wise But one thing you must realize
I promise to remember the meaning of romance If I've done something wrong, give me one more chance I promise, promise to be true
My darling I have promised to give you my heart Oh darling promise me we will never part I know I'm not a king and I'm not very wise But one thing you must realize
I promise to remember the meaning of romance If I've done something wrong, give me one more chance I promise, promise to be true
Easter Theatre Composer(s): Andy Partridge
Performer(s): XTC
Gold sun rolls around
Chocolate nipple brown
Tumble from your arms
Like the ground your breasts swell
Land awake from sleep
Hares will kick and leap
Flowers climb erect
Smiling from the moist kiss of her rainbow mouth
Stage left
Enter easter and she's dressed in yellow yolk
Stage right
Now the son has died, the father can be born
Stand up
If we'd all breathe in and blow away the smoke
New life
We'd applaud a new life
Odin mounts the tree
Bleeds for you and me
Splashing on the lamb
Gamboling with spring's step
Buds will laugh and burst
Racing to be first
Turning all the soil
As the promptress fingers through her spinning script
Stage left
Enter easter and she's dressed in yellow yolk
Stage right
Now the son has died, the father can be born
Stand up
If we'd all breathe in and blow away the smoke
New life
We'd applaud a new life
Easter... in her bonnet
Easter... in her hair
Easter... are the ribbons
She tied everywhere
Trinke, Liebchen, trinke schnell Trinken macht die Augen hell Sind die schoenen Aüglein klar Siehst du alles licht und wahr Siehst, wie heisse Lieb' ein Traum Der uns aeffet sehr Siehst wie ew'ge Treue Schaum So was gibt's nicht mehr! Flieht auch manche Illusion Die dir einst dein Herz erfreut Gibt der Wein dir Tröstung schon Durch Vergessenheit! Glücklich ist, wer vergisst Was doch nicht zu ändern ist Kling, kling, sing, sing, sing Trink mit mir, sing mit mir Lalala, lalala...
I Pretend Composer(s): Barry Mason; Les Reed Performer(s): Des O'Connor
Sitting here so lonely in the firelight Listening for a footstep on the stairs All I have to talk to is the moonlight Shining on an empty chair
So I'll pretend, your loving arms are reaching out for me Yes I'll pretend, and though my eyes are closed I still can see As I pretend, the world is new and like it used to be One day our love must end Till then I'll just pretend
Something made her change, what could it be now Wish I knew exactly what I'd done If there's someone else I'll set you free now Guess I've lost and he has won
So I'll pretend, your loving arms are reaching out for me Yes I'll pretend, and though my eyes are closed I still can see As I pretend, the world is new and like it used to be One day our love must end Till then I'll just pretend One day our love must end Till then I'll just pretend

Never saw you look quite so pretty before Never saw you dressed quite so lovely, what's more I could hardly wait to keep our date this lovely Easter morning And my heart beat fast as I came through the door for
In your Easter bonnet with all the frills upon it You'll be the grandest lady in the Easter Parade I'll be all in clover, and when they look you over I'll be the proudest fellow in the Easter Parade On the Avenue, Fifth Avenue The photographers will snap us And you'll find that you're in the rotogravure Oh, I could write a sonnet about your Easter bonnet And of the girl I'm taking to the Easter Parade In my Easter bonnet with all the frills upon it I'll be the grandest lady in the Easter Parade You'll be all in clover, and when they look me over You'll be the proudest fellow in the Easter Parade On the Avenue, Fifth Avenue The photographers will snap us And you'll find that you're in the rotogravure Oh, you may write a sonnet about my Easter bonnet And of the girl you're taking to the Easter Parade
Trepando Paredes Voy a contarte Que las mujeres son de Venus Y los hombres son de Marte
Cuando yo la vi con su escote abierto No me lo podía creer Es de esas mujeres que revive a un muerto Y te puede enloquecer
Fui y le pregunté cómo se llamaba (Mercedes) me contestó Invítame a un trago que estoy exaltada Y este macho ni pensó
Siéntate a mi lado, quédate conmigo Que tengo mucho calor (me dijo) Hoy me hice un tatuaje justo en el ombligo Y ando sin ropa interior (alaba'o)
Me pidió disculpas, dijo que volvía (No te muevas) me insistió Me tiró tres besos mientras sonreía Pero nunca regresó (y me dejó)
(Trepando paredes) (Así me dejó Mercedes)
----------
El Duelo ¡Yo necesito cariño! ¿Y ahora qué hago con el niño?
La vi sentada en la barra sola Y a un duelo me desafió Yo siempre listo a usar mi pistola A su casa me llevó
Con pasión la ropa se quita Y cuando yo iba a disparar Con horror se levanta y grita ¡Corre que te va a matar!
Ponte la camisa y el pantalón Métete en el closet que allí viene mi marido
----------
Las Hormonas ¡Van dos veces que me escacho! ¿Y qué hago con el muchacho?
Las hormonas tienen la culpa de to' Son el más salvaje castigo de Dios Las hormonas tienen la culpa de tó Yo no hago esas cosas, ése no soy yo
Me cambian la perspectiva Y la personalidad No interesa mi firmeza o fuerza de voluntad Le sacan el jugo a mis devaneos Saben de la pata de donde cojeo Me tientan de día, me atacan de noche Saben cuándo me patina el cloche.
Las hormonas tienen la culpa de to' Son el más salvaje castigo de Dios Las hormonas tienen la culpa de tó Yo no hago esas cosas, ése no soy yo

Always together, together forever Always together forever I will love you till the day I die I know this now and my love won't run dry You came along my life has begun Two hearts are now beating as though they were one Like the stars that make the night so bright You shine on me with a love that's so right A love that is lasting A love that's so pure Each time I feel it It makes me more sure Like a flower in a fairy tale I blossomed out From a source that won't fall, love that is lasting And love that is pure and each time I feel it It makes me more sure
I know with all my heart we'll never part For this is the day when our love comes alive And I mean what I say as I stand here sayin I pledge my love to you I pledge my love is true I pledge my life to you I do my dear I do my dear
Like a river finds the deep blue sea Love took your hand And led you to me This is the us that I'll never forget Both sparkling with love But happy we met
I know with all my heart we'll never part For this is the day when our love comes alive And I mean what I say and I want you to know that I pledge my love to you I pledge my love is true I pledge my life to you I do my dear I do my dear

Easter Lilies Composer(s): Ralph McTell
Performer(s): Ralph McTell
For a long time she stood in the flower shop window The daffodils dearest at this time of year Inside she emptied her purse on the counter "I want to buy all of the daffodils here"
By her eyes it was plain to see she'd been crying As she tucked back a strand of loose hair from her face "I want to spend all of my money on flowers And I need every daffodil here in this place"
Clutching her harvest, a cornsheaf of flowers She clambered aboard the late rush hour tram And by Shweigaardsgate, a small pool of water Had formed on the floor as if wrung from her hands
It just seemed to add to the lost look about her As the grey rattling city went grumbling past She sat like a small child testing for butter Her face lit in yellow from the flowers tighly clasped
Once in her apartment, she lay down the blooms And divided them up into glasses and jars Till daffodils filled every space in the room Then she lit every candle she found in the house
She bathed and she dressed and corked open champagne Which made pigeons fly from her windowsills Then closing the curtains on birds in the rain She stood among flickering daffodils
Surrounded and centred, she pondered her feelings Sofa'd and cushioned on feathers she lay Holding on to the pillows, lest she float to the ceiling And just like the cigarette smoke, drift away
She wondered just where the wind might deliver An unwritten letter, a torn envelope Though candlelight warmed, she suddenly shivered And the yellow flowers shimmered with brightness and hope
'Leven-Thirty Saturday Night Composer(s): Earl Burtnett - Bell Grantham Jess Kirkpatrick Performer(s): Earl Burtnett and multiple other artists
All events of consequence in history Are mysteries as to the time they happened My event was Heaven sent and you can bet I can't forget the time
For it was at the dance, I was in a trance 'Leven-thirty Saturday night And in my arms I held a world of charms 'Leven-thirty Saturday night
At eight my fate had just begun It grew quite late before love had won Ooh, can't you see, she accepted me 'Leven-thirty Saturday night Ooh, baby, 'leven-thirty Saturday night
Now, when I met my pet, my little sugar pet 'Leven-thirty Saturday night I felt so weak, I could hardly speak But finally I got over my fright
And through my fear, she looked so dear I had a whisper right in her ear Can't you guess, golly gee, she accepted me 'Leven-thirty Saturday night Ooh baby, 'leven-thirty Saturday night
Now, I met a maid through an escapade 'Leven-thirty Saturday night And pretty soon we were in her room 'Leven-thirty Saturday night
Well, we sat and talked, then suddenly Yes, her husband, he came unexpectedly Well, I got there looking debonair When he got through I looked like a sight Exactly 'leven-thirty Saturday night
I Play And Sing Composer(s): Russell Brown; Irwin Levine Performer(s): Tony Orlando & Dawn
When they ask me for my autograph I catch you in the corner of my eye and I know that smile upon your face means we made it girl you and I From the hard life on the south side to the spotlight here on the stage
Without you no tellin' where I'd be
singin' me diff'rent song Breakin' rocks for ten or twenty years
But you wouldn't let me go wrong Standin' by me 'cause you love me
Easter Island Composer(s): Kris Kristofferson - Mike Utley
Performer(s): Kris Kristofferson
Guarding the carcass, we stripped and devided
To carve up and covet they wait there alone
Keeping the secret the rest have forgotten
And staring in silence from sockets of stone
Built and obeyed with the best of intentions
Stranger than truth and as lost and alone
Stranded like dogs in a star-spangled manger
No good to nothing not even their own
Holy-O-my God-I
can't see the stars in the sky
for the sun in my eye
She's like a dream that a world quit believin'
Caught in the action back to the sea
How many more might have come from that mountain?
Barely the creatures they struggled to be
Surely the death of so grand an illusion
Left us with legends too great to ignore
Stone-cut survivors of ancient dimensions
Lost in the wonder they came to explore
Holy star light far brighter
than the sun in your eye
Singing thy will be done
Holy star light far brighter
than the sun in your eye
Singing thy will be done
Trilhos Urbanos Composer(s): Caetano Veloso Performer(s): Caetano Veloso and multiple other artists
O melhor o tempo esconde, longe, muito longe Mas bem dentro aqui, quando o bonde dava a volta ali No cais de Araújo Pinho, tamarindeirinho Nunca me esqueci onde o imperador fez xixi
Cana doce Santo Amaro, gosto muito raro Trago em mim por ti, e uma estrela sempre a luzir
Bonde das Trilhos Urbanos vão passando os anos E eu não ti perdi, meu trabalho é de traduzir
Rua da Matriz ao Conde no trole ou no bonde Tudo é bom de vê, São Popó do Maculelê
Mas aquela curva aberta, aquela coisa certa Não dá prá entender o Apolo e o rio Subaé
Pena de Pavão de Krishna, maravilha, vixe Maria Mãe de Deus, será que esses olhos são meus?
Cinema transcendental, Trilhos Urbanos Gal cantando Balancê, como eu sei me lembrar de você
You And Your Beautiful Eyes Composer(s): Jerry Livingston; Mack David Performer(s): Dean Martin & Polly Bergen
You and your beautiful eyes That tell such beautiful lies Oh when you start that hocus pocus Boy, things get out of focus
You and the way that you kiss Well they ought to give you a prize Baby you could make a statue come to life just a-looking at you You and your beautiful eyes
You (you're so observant) and your beautiful eyes That tell (the lies you're selling) such beautiful lies (may start my head a-swelling) When (tell me some more) you start that hocus pocus (jumping Jimminy Crickets)
(Both) Boy, things get out of focus
(Well talk about you) Well honey please do (And the way that you kiss) You'll like this (You ought to stage a big parade and give you a prize) Your lips lets try them on for size oh baby You could make a statue come to life just a-looking at you (Don't stop) Gee but you're beautiful Oh but they're beautiful
Easter Composer(s): Ivan Kral - Patti Smith - Jay Dee Daugherty - Lenny Kaye
First release by: Patti Smith Group - 1978
Easter Sunday, we were walking Easter Sunday, we were talking Isabel, my little one, take my hand Time has come
Isabella, all is glowing Isabella, all is knowing And my heart, Isabella And my head, Isabella
Frederick and Vitalie, savior dwells inside of thee Oh, the path leads to the sun Brother, sister, time has come
Isabella, all is glowing Isabella, all is knowing Isabella, we are dying Isabella, we are rising
I am the spring, the holy ground the endless seed of mystery the thorn, the veil, the face of grace the brazen image, the thief of sleep the ambassador of dreams, the prince of peace I am the sword, the wound, the stain Scorned transfigured child of Cain I rend, I end, I return Again I am the salt, the bitter laugh I am the gas in a womb of light, the evening star the ball of sight that leads that sheds the tears of Christ dying and drying as I rise tonight
Isabella, we are rising Isabella, we are rising ...

I Owe You One Composer(s): Phil Galdston; Jon Lind; Wendy Waldman Performer(s): Aaron Neville
There's a chill in the evening air Carries me back to some place where I thought I'd lost my way forever Every dream and every plan Every last chance slipped through my hand And you smiled at me and it was over Holding you tonight Hold on tight I try to say it right And I guess sometimes the words don't come And I wish I told you how you changed my life And saved me with your love I hope when all is said and done You know I owe you one Walk me down those streets again Stop me right at the moment when You stood there talking to a stranger Tell me how you looked at me And knew the very best that I could be How did you see this happy ending Standing by your side I'm still surprised I try to say it right But I guess sometimes the words don't come And I wish I'd told you how you changed my life And saved me with your love I hope when all is said and done You know I owe you one One for life and one for love And all you've given me For the dreams you made me dream again And all that we can be Holding you tonight, holding you tonight Hold on tight I try to say it right I guess sometimes the words don't come And I wish I'd told you how you changed my life And saved me with your love I hope when all is said and done You know I owe you one
