If I Had A Talking Picture Of You Composer(s): Lew Brown; Buddy DeSylva; Ray Henderson Performer(s): Jack Hylton's Orch. and multiple other artists
If I had a talking picture of you I would run it every time I felt blue I would sit there in the gloom of my lonely little room And applaud each time you whispered, "I love you; love you"
On the screen the moment you came in view We would talk the whole thing over, we two I would give ten shows a day and a midnight matinee If I had a talking picture of you
Karen, Karen, I don't wanna learn to live without you today you're leaving, and tonight I'm gonna dream about you... but the plane is calling and you gotta get going and I don't know whether you'll be back tomorrow... so I'll keep smiling, I'll hide the hurting, I'll ask you baby can I drive you out there...
When you're flying, tell me baby are you thinking of me I'm not crying but I don't know if you really love me but the plane is calling and you gotta get going and I don't know whether you'll be back tomorrow... so I'll swallow my questions and live for the moment and the joy we share when we're together...
Every minute, that you're with me's like a happy hour when you're in it, my life just begins to flower... but the plane is calling and you gotta get going and I don't know whether you'll be back tomorrow... so I'll keep trying and I'll keep hoping and maybe someday soon there'll be a tomorrow...
My heart is beating, but I sometimes don't know why without you I watched you leaving, and I don't why I couldn't stop you... yeah your new life is calling and you've gotta get going and I know you won't be back tomorrow... but I want you to love me and I want you to touch me, and I just don't wanna live without you
Karen, Karen, I'll try to learn to live without you I'm still grieving, gotta give up all my dreams about you yeah the plane is calling and you've gotta get going and I don't think there'll ever be a tomorrow... so I'll remember the good times and the things you taught me the joy we shared, the joy and the sorrow
Karen, Karen the joy and the sorrow the dreams of tomorrow for Karen... and me....
If I Had A Rocket Launcher Composer(s): Bruce Cockburn First release by: Bruce Cockburn - 1984 Covered by multiple other artists
Here comes the helicopter -- second time today Everybody scatters and hopes it goes away How many kids they've murdered only God can say If I had a rocket launcher...I'd make somebody pay
I don't believe in guarded borders and I don't believe in hate I don't believe in generals or their stinking torture states And when I talk with the survivors of things too sickening to relate If I had a rocket launcher...I would retaliate
On the Rio Lacantun, one hundred thousand wait To fall down from starvation -- or some less humane fate Cry for guatemala, with a corpse in every gate If I had a rocket launcher...I would not hesitate
I want to raise every voice -- at least I've got to try Every time I think about it water rises to my eyes Situation desperate, echoes of the victims cry If I had a rocket launcher...Some son of a bitch would die
Karma
Composer(s): Lisette Alvarez; Eddie Martínez
Performer(s): Raphael
Si es que todo lo que hicimos mal en otra vida
Aqui se paga.
Un error, una pasion fatal y sin medida
Estar amada
Fui serpiente de tu paraiso
Y mordiste el fruto de mi hechizo
Pirata que tu carga de oro y plata
Te robo al amanecer
Liberame, amor sin tiempo
Que si guardas vengaza en tu alma
Con mis besos borrare este karma
Ven, liberame de esta condena
Tu silencio es mi peor sentencia
El castigo de tu indiferencia
Nadie gana es este juego
No me quemes en el fuego del amor
Si es que acaso no haber hecho el bien en otra vida
Es castigado
Debo ser culpable yo tambien y arrepentido
De mi pecado
De quizas haberte abandonado
O una lanza para tu costado
Mirada que en la fuente de agua clara
Te dejo morir de sed
Liberame, amor sin tiempo
Que aunque no recuerdes el pasado
N las vidas que pase a tu lado
Ven, liberame de esta condena
Ven dispuesta a abandonar las armas
Y redime de mi alma de este karma
La leccion esta aprendida
Cambia el ritmo de esta vida con tu amor
If I Had A Million Dollars Composer(s): Matty Malneck; Johnny Mercer Performer(s): The Boswell Sisters and multiple other artists
Castles with their thrones Ships upon the sea Gold and precious stones All belong to me Foolish though it seems Every word is true Though they're only my own dreams My dreams belong to you
If I had a million dollars I know just what I would do I'd tie a string around the World And bring all of it to you Those little things you pray for Whatever they may be I'd have enough to pay for Them all, C.O.D
If I spent a million dollars I know I would never care Because as long as you were mine I'd still be a millionaire That's why I'm always dreaming Dreaming of what I would do If I had a million dollars for you
If I had a million dollars I know just what I would do I would tie a string around the World And bring all of it to you Those little things you pray for Whatever they may be I'd have enough to pay for Them all, C.O.D
If I spent a million dollars I know I would never care Because as long as you were mine I'd still be a millionaire That's why I'm always dreaming Dreaming of what I would do If I had a million dollars for you
Karn Evil 9: 3rd Impression Composer(s): Emerson, Lake & Palmer Performer(s): Emerson, Lake & Palmer
Man alone; born of stone Will stamp the dust of time His hands strike the flame of his soul Ties a rope to a tree and hangs the Universe Until the winds of laughter blows cold
Fear that rattles in men's ears And rears it's hideous head Dread .... Death .... in the wind ....
Man of steel pray and kneel With fever's blazing torch Thrust in the face of the night Draws a blade if compassion Kissed by countless Kings Whose jewelled trumpet words blind his sight
Walls that no man thought would fall The altars of the just Crushed .... Dust .... in the wind ....
No man yields who flies in my ship Danger! Let the bridge computer speak Stranger! Load your program I am yourself
No computer stands in my way Only blood can cancel my pain Guardians of a new clear dawn Let the maps of war be drawn
Rejoice! Glory is ours! Our young men have not died in vain Their graves need no flowers The tapes have recorded their names
I am all there is Negative! Primitive! Limited! I let you live! But I gave you life What else could you do? To do what was right I'm perfect! Are you?

If I Had A Girl Like You Composer(s): Phil Parke; Harry Parr-Davies Performer(s): George Formby
If I wasn't me, but a different sort of chap What a romeo I'd be I'd be able to see it's an awful handicap When a guy's as shy as me What happiness might come my way If I could just speak up and say
I'll bet I could work wonders, seems too good to be true I could be a 'b' marvel if I had a girl like you Single handed I'd rescue ship and captain and crew I'd be number one hero if I had a girl like you
I'd spend my leisure finding hidden treasure No one could measure the things that I do In the stormiest weather I could eat a pie stew I'd become a real sailor if I had a girl like you
I could do without moonlight and give the stars a rest too I'd be warm in a snowstorm if I had a girl like you All the radio programmes would be strictly taboo They could keep their old brains trust if I had a girl like you
I'd never long for meals they ring a gong for The shows they throng for I never would view, I'm telling you I'd have pennies from heaven, I could live in a shoe They could take me clothes coupons if I had a girl like you
Kashmir
Composer(s): John Bonham; John Paul Jones;
Jimmy Page; Robert Plant;
and various other artists
Oh, let the sun beat down upon my face
Stars to fill my dreams
I am a traveler of both time and space
To be where I have been
Secret elders of a gentle race
This world is seldom seen
Talk of days for which they sit and wait
All will be revealed
Talk and song from tongues of lilting grace
Whose sounds caress my ear
But not a word I heard could I relate
The story was quite clear
Whoa-oh-hoh, whoa-oh-wa-oh
Oooh, oh baby, I been flyin'
Lord, yeah, mama, there ain't no denyin'
Oh, oooh yes, I've been flying
Mama ma, ain't no denyin', no denyin'
Oh, all I see turns to brown
As the sun burns the ground
And my eyes fill with sand
As I scan this wasted land
Tryin' to find, tryin' to find where I beeeeen-ahhh-ahhhh
Oh, pilot of the storm who leaves no trace
Like thoughts inside a dream
Heed the path that led me to that place
Yellow desert screen
My Shangri-La beneath the summer moon
I will return again
Sure as the dust that floats high in June
When movin' through Kashmir
Oh, father of the four winds, fill my sails
Across the sea of years
With no provision but an open face
'Long the straits of fear
Wha-oh, wha-oh
Whaoh-oh, oh
Ohhhh
Well, when I want, when I'm on my way, yeah
When I see, when I see the way, you stay, yeah
Ooh, yeah-yeah, ooh, yeah-yeah, well I'm down, yes
Ooh, yeah-yeah, ooh, yeah-yeah, well I'm down, so down
Ooh, my baby, oooh, my baby, let me take you there
Oh, oh, come on, come on
Oh, let me take you there
Let me take you there
Whoo-ooh, yeah-yeah, whoo-ooh, yeah-yeah, let me take you
You Started Something Composer(s): Al Rinker; Floyd Huddleston Performer(s): Rosemary Clooney and multiple other artists
You were just passing by, but you started something I may never know why, but you started something With your glance a new romance was in the making Just like the sun starts the flowers to waking I knew all about love, I said this can't happen But then you came along and caught my heart napping Now each hour and each new day will always be spring `Cause you really started something
I knew all about love, I said this can't happen But then you came along and caught my heart napping Now each hour and each new day will always be spring `Cause you really started something
Kathy's Song
Composer(s): Paul Simon
First release by: Paul Simon
and multiple other artists
I hear the drizzle of the rain
Like a memory it falls
Soft and warm continuing
Tapping on my roof and walls
And from the shelter of my mind
Through the window of my eyes
I gaze beyond the rain-drenched streets
To a land where my heart lies
My mind's distracted and diffused
My thoughts are many miles away
They lie with you when you're asleep
And kiss you when you start your day
And a song I was writing is left undone
I don't know why I spend my time
Writing songs I can't believe
With words that tear and strain to rhyme
And so you see I have come to doubt
All that I once held as true
I stand alone without beliefs
The only truth I know is you
And as I watch the drops of rain
Weave their weary paths and die
I know that I am like the rain
There but for the grace of you go I
Katmandu
Composer(s): Bob Seger
Performer(s): Bob Seger
I think I'm going to Katmandu
that's really, really where I'm going to
If I ever get out of here
that's what I'm gonna do
K-K-K-K-K-Katmandu
I think that's where I'm going to
If I ever get out of here
I'm going to Katmandu
I got no kick against the west coast
Warner Brothers are such good hosts
I raise my whiskey glass and give them a toast
I'm sure they know it's true
I got no rap against the southern states
Every time I've been there it's been great
But now I'm leaving and I can't be late
and to myself be true
That's why I'm going to Katmandu
up to the mountains where I'm going to
And if I ever get out of here
that's what I'm gonna do
K-K-K-K-K-Katmandu
that's really, really where I'm going to
oh, if I ever get out of here I'm going to Katmandu
I got no quarrel with the midwest
the folks out there have given me their best
I lived there all my life, I've been their guest
I sure have loved it, too
I'm tired of looking at the TV news
I'm tired of driving hard and paying dues
I figure, baby, I've got nothing to lose
I'm tired of being blue
That's why I'm going to Katmandu
up to the mountains where I'm going to
If I ever get out of here
that's what I'm gonna do
K-K-K-K-K-Katmandu
take me, baby, 'cause I'm going with you
If I ever get out of here
I'm going to Katmandu
I ain't got nothing 'gainst the east coast
You want some people where they got the most
And new york city's like a friendly ghost
you seem to pass right through
I know I'm gonna miss the USA
I guess I'll miss it every single day
But no one loves me here anyway
I know my playing is through
That's why I'm going to Katmandu
up to the mountains where I'm going to
If I ever get out of here
that's what I'm gonna do
K-K-K-K-K-Katmandu
really, really going to
if I ever get out of here
if I ever get out of here
if I ever get out of here
I'm going to Katmandu
If I Give You My Love Composer(s): Herbert Leventhal Performer(s): Ray Charles and multiple other artists
If I give you my love, what will you give in return If I give you my love, will you cause my heart to yearn And will it bring me sadness, with so many tears And will it bring me gladness, all through out the years
If I give you my word, will you give me your word too If I vow to yours, promise me that you'll be true Am I playing with fire, tell me are you concerned If I give you my love what will you give in return
Am I playing with fire, tell me are you concerned If I give you my love, what will you give in return
Katy
Theme from the TV Show "The Ann Sothern Show"
Composer(s): Bonnie Lake; Ann Sothern
Katy, all the fellahs fall for Katy
'Cause Katy (wolf whistle) is the gal they adore
Katy, they'll give their all for Katy
'Cause Katy (wolf whistle) makes 'em whistle for more
She'll out-twinkle any star above
When you see her passin' by
Just one look and they all fall in love
She's the apple of their eye
Oh my, Katy
Katy, all the fellahs call for Katy
'Cause Katy (wolf whistle) is the gal they adore
They want more, more, more, more, more
Of Katy
If I Give My Soul Composer(s): Billy Joe Shaver First release by: Billy Joe Shaver - 1993 Covered by multiple other artists
Down a dangerous road, I have come to where I'm standing With a heavy heart, and my hat clutched in my hand Such a foolish fool, God ain't known no greater sinner I have come in search of Jesus, hoping he will understand
I had a woman once, she was kind and she was gentle Had a child by me, who grew up to be a man I had a steady job, till I started into drinking And I started making music that went with the devil's band
Oh the years flew by like a mighty rush of eagles My dreams and plans were all scattered in the wind It's a lonesome life, when you lose the ones you live for If I make my peace with Jesus will they take me back again
If I give my soul, will he cleanse these clothes i'm wearin' If I give my soul, will he put new boots on my feet If I bow my head and beg God for his forgiveness Will he breathe new breath inside me and give back my dignity
If I give my soul, will he stop my hands from shaking If I give my soul, will my son love me again If I give my soul, and she knows I really mean it If I give my soul to Jesus will she take me back again
If I give my soul to Jesus will she take me back again
Katy
Composer(s): Marc Aryan
Performer(s): Marc Aryan
Ô! Katy, Katy
Je revois souvent
Ce petit coin discret
Dans ce vieux restaurant
L'air, près de la mer
Les rumeurs du port
Dispensaient à la nuit
Bien plus de charme encore!
Je t'aimais, Katy
Je t'aimais déjà
Mais tous les mots d'amour
Restaient au fond de moi
Par délicatesse, Katy
Pour un premier soir
Et parce je pensais
Qu'on pourrait se revoir
Maintenant Katy
Que je suis parti
Vers d'autres horizons
Si loin de ton pays
Je puis te le dire, Katy
Même le gai soleil
De mon midi
N'a pas chassé ton nom
Si doux, du fond de mon esprit!
Katy Daley Composer(s): Ralp Stanley Performer(s): The Stanley Brothers: Roy Lee Centers; The Lonesome River Band
With her old man she came from Tiperary In the pioneering days of '42 Her old man was shot in tombstone City For the making of his good old mountain dew
Come on down the mountain Katy Daley Come on down the mountain Katy do Can't you hear us calling Katy Daley We want to drink your good old mountain dew
Wake up and pay attention Katy Daley For I'm the judge that's gonna sentence you All the boys in court have drunk your whiskey To tell the truth I like a little too
So to the jail they took poor Katy Daley But pretty soon the gates were open wide Angels came for poor ole Katy Daley Took her far across the great divide
