    Tug Of War
    Composer(s): Paul McCartney
    Performer(s): Paul McCartney



    It's A Tug Of War
    What With One Thing And Another
    It's A Tug Of War
    We Expected More
    But With One Thing And Another
    We Were Trying To Outdo Each Other
    In A Tug Of War
    In Another World
    In Another World We Could
    Stand On Top Of The Mountain
    With Our Flag Unfurled
    In A Time To Come
    In A Time To Come We Will Be
    Dancing To The Beat Played
    On A Different Drum

    It's A Tug Of War
    Though I Know I Mustn't Grumble
    It's A Tug Of War
    But I Can't Let Go
    If I Do You'll Take A Tumble
    And The Whole Thing Is Going To Crumble
    It's A Tug Of War

    Pushing Pushing, Pulling Puliing
    Pushing And Pulling

    In Years To Come They May Discover
    What The Air We Breathe And The Life We Lead
    Are All About
    But It Won't Be Soon Enough
    Soon Enough For Me
    No It Won't Be Soon Enough
    Soon Enough For Me

    In Another World We Couid
    Stand On Top Of The Mountain
    With Our Flag Unfurled
    In A Time To Come We Will Be
    Dancing To The Beat Played
    On A Different Drum

    We Will Be Dancing To The Beat
    Played On A Different Drum
    We Will Be Dancing To The Beat
    Played On A Different Drum

    It's A Tug Of War, A Tug Of War
    A Tug Of War
    What With One Thing And Another
    It's A Tug Of War
    We Expected More
    But With One Thing And Another
    In A Tug Of War

    Pushing Pushing, Pulling Pulling
    Pushing And Pulling

    I Was Only Joking
    Composer(s): Rod Stewart; Gary Grainger
    Performer(s): Rod Stewart
    and multiple other artists



    Ever since I was a kid at school
    I messed around with all the rules
    Apologised then realised
    I'm not different after all

    Me and the boys thought we had it sussed
    Valentinos all of us
    My dad said we looked ridiculous
    But boy we broke some hearts
    In and out of jobs, running free
    Waging war with society
    Dumb blank faces stare back at me
    But nothing ever changed

    Promises made in the heat of the night
    Creeping home before it got too light
    I wasted all that precious time
    and blamed it on the wine

    I was only joking my dear
    Looking for a way to hide my fear
    What kind of fool was I
    I could never win

    Never found a compromise
    Collected lovers like butterflies
    Illusions of that grand first prize
    are slowly wearing thin
    Susy baby you were good to me
    Giving love unselfishly
    But you took it all too seriously
    I guess it had to end

    I was only joking my dear
    Looking for a way to hide my fear
    What kind of fool was I
    I could never win

    Now you ask me if I'm sincere
    That's the question that I always fear
    Verse seven is never clear
    But I'll tell you what you want to hear
    I try to give you all you want
    But giving love is not my strongest point
    If that's the case it's pointless going on
    I'd rather be alone
    'Cause what I'm doing must be wrong
    Pouring my heart out in a song
    Owning up for prosperity
    For the whole damn world to see

    Quietly now while I turn a page
    Act one is over without costume change
    The principal would like to leave the stage
    The crowd don't understand

    El Mundo Contra Mi
    Composer(s): Fabiana Cantilo - Pedro Aznar Performer(s): Pedro Aznar



    Tuve amor pero siempre a destiempo
    Nunca vi esa estrella fugaz
    Al pedir tres deseos al viento
    Reviví en tu amor que se va

    Si morir es cobarde o valiente
    Decidí que en mis manos está
    Junto a mí vive toda esa gente
    Sin vivir sin morir siempre así

    Aunque el mundo esté contra mí
    Y nadie me enseñe a vivir
    Tengo sangre en las venas
    Que arde más que esta pena de amor

    Aunque el mundo esté contra mí
    Y los tiempos vengan así
    No estoy viva por nada
    Hoy mis alas atadas abrí

    Yo no quiero volverme tu igual
    Ni saber si estoy bien o estoy mal
    No soy de estos tiempos, soy de este momento
    Soy la lluvia que lava este mar

    Aunque el mundo esté contra mí
    En mi amor aprendo a vivir
    Ya cambió la marea
    Y mis pies son la huella del sol

    Tuff Enuff
    Composer(s): Kim Wilson
    Performer(s): The Fabulous Thunderbirds



    I would walk ten miles on my hands and knees
    Ain't no doubt about it baby it's you I aim to please
    I'd wrestle with a lion and a grizzly bear
    It's my life baby but I don't care

    Ain't that tuff enuff
    Ain't that tuff enuff
    Ain't that tuff enuff
    Ain't that tuff enuff

    For you baby I would swim the sea
    Nothing I'd do for you that's too tuff for me
    I'd put out a burning building with a shovel and dirt
    And not even worry about getting hurt

    Ain't that tuff enuff
    Ain't that tuff enuff
    Ain't that tuff enuff
    Ain't that tuff enuff

    I'd work twenty four hours, seven days a week
    Just so I could come home and kiss your cheek
    I love you in the morning and I love you at noon
    I love you in the night and take you to the moon

    Ain't that tuff enuff
    Ain't that tuff enuff
    Ain't that tuff enuff
    Ain't that tuff enuff

    I'd lay in a pile of burning money that I've earned
    and not even worry about getting burned
    I'd climb the Empire State Building, fight Muhammad Ali
    Just to have you baby close to me

    Ain't that tuff enuff
    Ain't that tuff enuff
    Ain't that tuff enuff
    Ain't that tuff enuff

    Ain't that tuff enuff
    Ain't that tuff enuff
    Ain't that tuff enuff
    Ain't that tuff enuff

    I Was Only 19 (A Walk In the Light Green)
    Composer(s): John Schumann
    First release by: Redgum - 1983



    Mum and Dad and Denny saw the passing-out parade at Puckapunyal
    It was a long march from cadets
    The sixth battalion was the next to tour, and it was me who drew the card
    We did Canungra, Shoalwater before we left

    And Townsville lined the footpaths as we marched down to the quay
    This clipping from the paper shows us young and strong and clean
    And there's me in my slouch hat with my SLR and greens
    God help me, I was only nineteen

    From Vung Tau, riding Chinooks, to the dust at Nui Dat
    I'd been in and out of choppers now for months
    But we made our tents a home, VB and pinups on the lockers
    And an Asian orange sunset through the scrub

    And can you tell me, doctor, why I stil can't get to sleep?
    And night-time's just a jungle dark and a barking M16?
    And what's this rash that comes and goes, can you tell me what it means?
    God help me, I was only nineteen

    A four week operation when each step could mean your last one on two legs
    It was a war within yourself
    But you wouldn't let your mates down til they had you dusted off
    So you closed your eyes and thought about something else

    Then someone yelled "Contact!" and the bloke behind me swore
    We hooked in there for hours, then a Godalmighty roar
    Frankie kicked a mine the day that mankind kicked the moon
    God help me, he was going home in June

    I can still see Frankie, drinking tinnies in the Grand Hotel
    On a thirty-six hour rec leave in Vung Tau
    And I can still hear Frankie, lying screaming in the jungle
    Til the morphine came and killed the bloody row

    And the Anzac legends didn't mention mud and blood and tears
    And the stories that my father told me never seemed quite real
    I caught some pieces in my back that I didn't even feel
    God help me, I was only nineteen

    And can you tell me, doctor, why I still can't get to sleep?
    And why the Channel Seven chopper chills me to my feet?
    And what's this rash that comes and goes, can you tell me what it means?
    God help me, I was only nineteen

    Composer(s): G. Meccia - Fontana - Pes - A. Martínez Performer(s): Javier Solís



    No, en esta noche ya no pienso amor en ti
    abrí los ojos solamente para ver
    si en torno a mí giraba el mundo como siempre
    Gira el mundo gira en su espacio infinito
    con amores que comienzan con amores que terminan
    con las penas y alegrías de otras gentes como yo

    El mundo, por eso ahora yo te miro
    y en tu silencio yo me pierdo
    y no soy nada al verte a ti
    El mundo que no ha parado ni un momento
    su noche muere y viene el día y ese día verá

    El mundo, por eso ahora yo te miro
    y en tu silencio yo me pierdo
    y no soy nada al verte a ti
    El mundo que no ha parado ni un momento
    su noche muere y viene el día y ese día verá
    El mundo

    Train roll on, on down the line
    Won't you please take me far away?
    Now I feel the wind blow outside my door
    Means I'm leaving my woman behind
    Tuesday's gone with the wind
    My woman's gone with the wind

    And I don't know where I'm going
    I just want to be left alone
    Well, when this train ends I'll try again
    But I'm leaving my woman at home

    Tuesday's gone with the wind
    Tuesday's gone with the wind
    Tuesday's gone with the wind
    My woman's gone with the wind

    Train roll on many miles from my home
    See, I'm riding my blues away
    Tuesday, you see, she had to be free
    But somehow I've got to carry on

    Tuesday's gone with the wind
    Tuesday's gone with the wind
    Tuesday's gone with the wind
    My woman's gone with the wind

    First release by: Stevie Wonder - 1967
    Covered by multiple other artists



    I was born in Lil' Rock
    Had a childhood sweetheart
    We were always hand in hand

    I was hightop shoes and shirt tails
    Suzy was in pig tails
    I know I loved her even then

    You know my papa disapproved it
    My mama boohooed it
    But I told them time and time again
    "Don't you know I was made to love her
    Built a world all around her"
    Yah! Hey, hey, hey

    She's been my inspiration
    Showed appreciation
    For the love I gave her through the years

    Like a sweet magnolia tree
    My love blossmed tenderly
    My life grew sweeter through the years

    I know that my baby loves me
    My baby needs me
    That's why we made it through the years

    I was made to love her
    Worship and adore her
    Hey, hey, hey

    All through thick and thin
    Our love just won't end
    'Cause I love my baby, love my baby
    Ah!

    My baby loves me
    My baby needs me
    And I know I ain't going nowhere

    I was knee high to a chicken
    When that love bug bit me
    I had the fever with each passing year

    Oh, even if the mountain tumbles
    If this whole world crumbles
    By her side I'll still be standing there

    'Cause I was made to love her
    I was made to live for her, yeah!

    Ah, I was made to love her
    Built my world all around her
    Hey, hey, hey

    Oo baby, I was made to please her
    You know Stevie ain't gonna leave her, no
    Hey, hey, hey

    Oo wee baby, my baby loves me
    My baby needs me
    Hey, hey, hey

    OO my baby loves me...

    El Mayor
    Composer(s): Silvio Rodríguez Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez and multiple other artists



    El hombre se hizo siempre
    de todo material
    de villas señoriales
    o barrio margina
    Toda época fue pieza
    de un rompecabezas
    para subir la cuesta del gran reino animal
    con una mano negra
    y otra blanca mortal

    Mortales ingredientes
    armaron al Mayor
    luz de terratenientes
    y de Revolución
    destreza de la esgrima
    sucesos como un preso
    Amalia abandonada
    por la bala
    la vergüenza, el amor
    o un fusilamiento
    un viejo cuento
    modelaron su adiós

    Va cabalgando
    El Mayor con su herida
    y mientras más mortal el tajo
    es más de vida
    Va cabalgando
    sobre una palma escrita
    y a la distancia de cien años
    resucita

    Trota sobre la espuma
    seguido por un mar
    de negros en machete
    y sin encadenar
    Ordena a su corneta
    el toque de a degüello
    y a un siglo de distancia
    entona nuestra canción
    y con recia garganta
    canta
    espanta
    lejos la maldición

    Va cabalgando
    El Mayor con su herida
    y mientras más mortal el tajo
    es más de vida
    Va cabalgando
    sobre una palma escrita
    y a la distancia de cien años
    resucita

    Tuesday Heartbreak
    Composer(s): Stevie Wonder

    Tuesday heartbreak seem to be unfair
    Cause you say that you found another man
    Tuesday break heart, guess you just don't care
    Cause you found you another man

    I want to be with you when you're all alone
    I want to be with you
    when you feel you got another man
    You see, baby, it's all alright

    I wanna be with you when the nightime comes
    I wanna be with you when the daytime comes
    I wanna stay, oh baby, lemme, baby with you

    Tuesday heartbreak seem to be a drag
    When you know that you love her especially
    Catch up baby, catch up with my dreams
    Maybe than I can see you all the time

    But I wanna be with you when the nightime comes
    I wanna be with you when the daytime comes
    I wanna stay and never go away
    Oh baby, it's alright

    I wanna be with you when the nightime comes
    I wanna stay with you till the morning runs
    I wanna, baby, baby, baby, it's alright

    I wanna be with you when the nightime comes
    I wanna be with you till the daytime comes
    Oh baby, get away, alright

    I Was Brought To My Senses
    Composer(s): Sting
    Performer(s): Sting; The MadHatters; Abigail Riccards



    Alone with my thoughts this evening
    I walked on the banks of Tyne
    I wondered how I can win you
    or if I could make you mine
    or if I could make you mine

    The wind it was so insistent
    With tales of a stormy south
    But when I spied two birds in a sycamore tree
    There came a dryness in my mouth
    Came a dryness in my mouth

    For then without rhyme or reason
    The two birds did rise up and fly
    And where the two birds were flying
    I swear I saw you and I
    I swear I saw you and I

    I walked out this morning
    it was like a veil had been removed from before my eyes
    For the first time I saw the work of heaven
    in the line where the hills had been married to the sky
    And all around me
    ev'ry blade of singing grass
    was calling out your name
    and that our love would always last

    And inside ev'ry turning leaf
    is the pattern of an older tree
    the shape of our future
    the shape of all our history
    And out of the confusion
    where the river meets the sea
    came things I'd never seen
    things I'd never seen

    I was brought to my senses
    I was blind now that I can see
    ev'ry signpost in nature
    said you be...

    ...long to me
    I know it's true
    It's written in a sky as blue
    As blue as your eyes, as blue as your eyes
    If nature's red in tooth and claw
    Like winter's freeze and summer's thaw
    The wounds she gave me
    Were the wounds that would heal me

    And we'd be like the moon and sun
    And when our courtly dance had run
    it's course across the sky
    Then together we would lie
    And out of the confusion
    where the river meets the sea
    Something new would arrive
    Something better would arrive

    I was brought to my senses
    I was blind now that I can see
    ev'ry signpost in nature
    said you belong to

    I was brought to my senses
    I was blind now that I can see
    ev'ry signpost in nature
    said you belong to
    I was brought to my senses
    I was blind now that I can see
    ev'ry signpost in nature
    said you belong to me

    El Matador
    Composer(s): Silvio Rodríguez Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez



    Siento un hilo profundo
    que atraviesa el espacio
    -de tiempo en tiempo llega
    despacio-
    Siento olor de llanuras
    llenas de peregrinos
    -la llanura se llama
    camino-

    Siento de pronto el gusto
    de un raro mineral
    me siento a veces hombre
    y muchas animal
    Se confunde el deseo
    de calentar la piel
    con rugidos lejanos
    que recuerdan mujer

    Y en una playa angosta caen del cielo
    estas reminiscencias de veneno
    Yo no sé, pero hay días sin reposo
    que lo que tenga cerca lo destrozo
    muy primitivamente, casi salvajemente
    con odio, con desprecio, con rencor
    con palabras hirientes, con garras y con dientes
    con rabia, con violencia, con horror

    Le he cantado a la muerte
    como nadie con vida
    mas yo dijera siempre
    querida
    Junto a cada palabra
    hay cuerpos de millones
    y los maté yo mismo
    perdonen

    A veces se me olvida
    que mato por vivir
    y olvido los entierros
    y no quiero dormir
    El día que me acusen
    no me defenderé
    esta culpa es muy vieja, de todos la heredé

    Y en una playa angosta caen del cielo
    estas reminiscencias de veneno
    Yo no sé, pero hay días sin reposo
    que lo que tenga cerca lo destrozo
    muy primitivamente, casi salvajemente
    con odio, con desprecio, con rencor
    con palabras hirientes, con garras y con dientes
    con rabia, con violencia, con horror

    Composer(s): Justin Hayward
    Performer(s): The Moody Blues
    and multiple other artists



    Tuesday afternoon
    I'm just beginning to see, now I'm on my way
    It doesn't matter to me, chasing the clouds away
    Something calls to me
    The trees are drawing me near, I've got to find out why
    Those gentle voices I hear, explain it all with a sigh
    I'm looking at myself reflections of my mind
    It's just the kind of day to leave myself behind
    So gently swaying through the fairyland of love
    If you'll just come with me you'll see the beauty of
    Tuesday afternoon, Tuesday afternoon

    Tuesday afternoon
    I'm just beginning to see, now I'm on my way
    It doesn't matter to me, chasing the clouds away
    Something calls to me
    The trees are drawing me near, I've got to find out why
    Those gentle voices I hear, explain it all with a sigh

    I Was Born Ten Thousand Years Ago
    (aka "The Liar"; "The Bragging Song"; "I Was Born About Ten Thousand Years Ago"; "I Was Borned About Four Thousand Years Ago")
    (Traditional)
    Performer(s): Kelly Harrell
    and multiple other artists



    I was born ten thousand years ago
    And there's nothing in this world that I don't know
    I saw Pater, Paul, and Moses playing ring around the roses
    And I'll lick the guy that say it isn't so

    I saw Satan when he looked the garden o'er
    I saw Eve and Adam driven from the door
    And behind the bushes peepin', saw the apple they were eatin'
    And I swear that I'm the guy that ate the core

    I saw Jonah when he was within the whale
    And thought he'd never live to tell the tale
    But old Jonah'd eaten garlic, and he gave the whale the colic
    So he coughed him up and let him out of jail

    I saw Israel in the battle of the Nile
    The arrows were flying thick and fast and wild
    I saw David with his sling pop Goliath on the wing
    I was doing forty seconds to the mile

    I saw Sampson when he laid the village cold
    Saw Daniel tame the lions in their hold
    I helped build the Tower of Babel up as high as they were able
    And there's many other things I haven't told

    I taught Soloman his little A-B-C's
    I helped Brigham Young to make limberger cheese
    And while sailing down the bay with Methusala one day
    I saved his flowing whiskers from the breeze

    Queen Elizabeth, she fell in love with me
    We were married in Milwaukee secretly
    But I schemed around and shook her, then she went with General Hooker
    To shoot mosquitoes down in Tenessee

    I remember when the country had a king
    I saw Cleopatra pawn her wedding ring
    And I saw th flags a'flyin' when George Washington stopped lyin'
    On the night when Patty first begin to sing

    So, you see I am an educated man
    To keep my brains in my head I plan
    Cause I been on earth so long, that I use to sing a song
    While Abraham and Issac played the band

    I was born ten thousand years ago
    And there's nothing in this world that I don't know
    I saw Peter, Paul and Moses playing ring-around-the-roses
    And I can lick the guy that says it isn't so

    Tucumcari
    Composer(s): Mark McIntyre - William Olofson
    Performer(s): Jimmie Rodgers



    Twelve more miles to Tucumcari
    I've been hurrying there
    To the gal I'm gonna marry
    With the yellowest hair

    Left, right, march along
    I just gotta get home (Just gotta get home)
    Ten more miles to Tucumcari
    Then I'll never more roam
    (Tucumcari, Tucumcari, I just gotta get home)

    Eight more miles to Tucumcari
    It's the fourth of July
    Been three years in January
    Since I kissed her goodbye

    Left, right, march along
    I've just gotta get home (Just gotta get home)
    Six more miles to Tucumcari
    Then I'll never more roam
    (Tucumcari, Tucumcari, I just gotta get home)

    Four more miles to Tucumcari
    Not much further to go
    Got no time to waste or tarry
    She'll be waitin' I know

    Left, right, march along
    I've just gotta get home (Just gotta get home)
    Two more miles to Tucumcari
    Then I'll never more roam
    (Tucumcari, Tucumcari, I just gotta get home)

    Here I am in Tucumcari
    Found my yellow-haired gal
    Just in time to see her marry
    With my very best pal

    Left, right, march along
    Guess I better be gone (I better be gone)
    A thousand miles from Tucumcari
    I'll be rambling on
    (Tucumcari, Tucumcari, I'll be rambling on)

    A hundred miles from Tucumcari
    Down in Santa Fe
    Fell in love with a girl named Mary
    Gee I'm happy today

    No more marching now
    Found my honeycomb (Found my honeycomb)
    I've forgotten Tucumcari
    No more reason to roam
    (Tucumcari, Tucumcari)
    I've forgotten Tucumcari
    No more reason to roam

    I Was Born In Virginia (aka "Virginia" or "Ethel Levey's Virginia Song")
    Composer(s): George M. Cohan
    Performer(s): Ethel Levey



    I was born in a Southern state
    Where all nature's sublime
    In a city where the gals are pretty
    And the sun shines nearly all the time
    Hospitality there you'll find
    Bright smiles ev'rywhere
    When I look 'roun' and see some other town
    I'm mighty glad I come from there

    I was born in Virginia
    That's the state that will win yer
    If you've got a soul in yer
    Ain't no Southern frown
    In the city of Norfolk
    Home of beauties and war talk
    Reckon you'll like it, if you should strike it
    That doggarn town

    Something nice about Southerners
    You don't find ev'rywhere
    Never con yer, but they smile upon yer
    And they make you happy while you're there
    Old Kentucky and Tennessee
    They can certainly go some
    Travel far and wide, still I'm satisfied
    To settle in the state I'm from

    I was born in Virginia
    That's the state that will win yer
    If you've got a soul in yer
    Ain't no Southern frown
    In the city of Norfolk
    Home of beauties and war talk
    Reckon you'll like it, if you should strike it
    That doggarn town

    Tuck Me To Sleep In My Old 'Tucky Home
    Composer(s): Sam M. Lewis - Joe Young - George W. Meyer



    Old Kentucky cradled me when I was born
    Old Kentucky how I miss your field of corn
    nighttime when I get to bed how I weep and toss my head
    I'll weep no more I'm going back instead

    Old Kentucky smile up on alone some shack
    dear old 'Tucky keep it bright till I get back
    make the shadows stay away from my mammy old and gray
    she'd weep no more if she could hear me say

    Tuck me to sleep in my old 'Tucky home
    cover me with Dixie skies and leave me there alone
    just let the sun kiss my cheeks every morn
    like the kissin' I've been missin' from my mammy since I'm gone
    I ain't had a bit of rest, since I left my mammy's nest
    I can always rest the best in her loving arms
    tuck me to sleep in my old Tucky home
    let me lay there, stay there never no more to roam

    I Was A Fool To Care
    French Title: J'ai Été Fou D'aimer - 1979
    Composer(s): James Taylor
    First release by: James Taylor - 1975



    I was a fool to care
    I was a fool to care
    I was a fool to care
    But I don't care even if I was a fool
    I'm still in love with you

    Had I listened to the grapevine
    I might have had my doubts
    But I did my level best just to block them out
    'Cause love is so unwise and love has no eyes
    And it took a while for a fool to see
    What his friends were on about

    I was a fool to care
    I was a fool to care
    I was a fool to care
    But I don't care even if I was a fool
    I'm still in love with you

    Imagining your face
    it almost fills the empty space before me
    I can see you eyes and almost hear your lovely lies

    I wish I was an old man
    And love was through with me
    I wish I was a baby on my mama's knee
    I wish I was a freight train moving down the line
    Just keeping track of time
    without all these memories

    I was a fool to care
    I was a fool to care
    I was a fool to care
    But I don't care even if I was a fool
    I'm still in love with you
    Baby, yes, I am
    I could have opened my eyes
    I could have seen through your lies
    I could have stood for no more
    I could have walked out the door

    But I was a fool to care, I was a fool to care
    But I was a fool to care, I was a fool to care
    You weren't nothing but a fool to care; just a country fool to care
