You Better, You Bet Composer(s): Pete Townshend Performer(s): The Who; David West
You better you better you bet I call you on the telephone my voice too rough with cigarettes I sometimes think I should just go home but I'm dealing with a memory that never forgets I love to hear you say my name especially when you say yes I got your body right now on my mind and I drunk myself blind to the sound of old T-Rex To the sound of old T-Rex - who's next?
Chorus When I say I love you, you say you better You better you better you bet When I say I need you, you say you better You better you better you bet You better bet your life Or love will cut you like a knife I want those feeble minded axes overthrown I'm not into your passport picture I just like your nose You welcome me with open arms and open legs I know only fools have needs but this one never begs I don't really mind how much you love me A little is really alright When you say come over and spend the night Tonight
Chorus I lay on the bed with you We could make some book of records Your dog keeps licking my nose And chewing up all those letters Saying "you better" You better bet your life You better love me, all the time now You better shove me back into line now You better love me, all the time now You better shove me back into line now I showed up late one night with a neon light for a visa But knowing I'm so eager to fight can't make letting me in any easier I know that I been wearing crazy clothes and I look pretty crappy Sometime But my body feels so good and I still sing a razor line every time And when it comes to all night living I know what I'm giving I've got it all down to a tee And it's free
As With Gladness, Men Of Old Composer(s): William Chatterton Dix Performer(s): The Choir of Trinity College and multiple other artists
As with gladness, men of old Did the guiding star behold As with joy they hailed its light Leading onward, beaming bright So, most glorious Lord, may we Evermore be led to Thee
As with joyful steps they sped To that lowly manger bed There to bend the knee before Him whom heaven and earth adore So may we with willing feet Ever seek thy mercy-seat
As they offered gifts most rare At that manger rude and bare So may we with holy joy Pure and free from sin's alloy All our costliest treasures bring Christ, to Thee, our heavenly King
Holy Jesus, every day Keep us in the narrow way And, when earthly things are past Bring our ransomed souls at last Where they need no star to guide Where no clouds thy glory hide
In the heavenly country bright Need they no created light Thou its light, its joy, its crown Thou its sun which goes not down There forever may we sing Alleluias to our King
Suave niña mía desde que lo que sueño es tu verdad tu presencia es irrompible por su suavidad Suave niña de anatomía que es capaz de asesinar parte tu deseo en dos y dame una mitad
Mi suave niña de memoria estás durmiendo en mi tacto mi suave niña de memoria estás rompiéndome las sienes mi suave niña de memoria estás llevándome por una carretera larga como a un aro de rodar
Oh, suave niña, suave niña niña suave y mía
Suave niña estoy buscando nuevos nombres para tí ya he gastado todos los susurros que aprendí Suave niña me has convertido en un objeto de colgar soy una repisa en tus salones de cristal
Mi suave niña de memoria estás sirviendo de alcancía mi suave niña de memoria estás guardando mis tesoros mi suave niña de memoria estás ardiendo entre mis manos invisibles que recorren, ambiciosas, tu espejismo
Oh, suave niña, suave niña niña suave y mía
Suave niña podrás no recordarme en todo un día feliz pero sé que soy inevitable al dormir Suave niña niña de suave melodía con que amar suavemente suave, niña de mi suavidad
You Better Sit Down Kids Composer(s): Sonny Bono Performer(s): Cher; Roy Drusky; Glen Campbell; Wayne Newton; Gary Puckett & The Union Gap; Liza Minnelli
Better sit down kids I'll tell you why, kids You might not understand, kids But give it a try, kids Now how should I put this I've got something to say Your mother is staying But I'm going away No, we're not mad, kids It's hard to say why Your mother and I Don't see eye to eye
Chorus: Say your prayers before you go to bed Make sure you get yourself to school on time I know you'll do the things your mother asks She's gonna need you most to stay in line Keep in mind your mother's gonna need your help A whole lot more than she ever did before No more fights over little things Because I won't be here to stop them anymore
I know you don't want this, neither do we But sometimes things happen that we can't foresee Now try to be calm kids, and don't look so sad Just cause I am leaving, I'll still be your dad Just remember I love you though I'm not here Just call if you need me, and I'll always be near
Chorus
Well I have to go now so kiss me goodbye My eyes are just red kids, I'm too big to cry
Suave Composer(s): Fernando Pessoa - Luis Eduardo Aute Performer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute
Es suave el día Suave el viento Es suave el sol y suave el cielo ¡Que fuera así mi pensamiento! ¡ser yo tan suave es lo que anhelo! Pero entre mí y las suaves glorias del cielo y del aire sin mí hay muchos sueños y memorias... ¡lo que yo quiero es ser así! Ah, el mundo es lo que a él traemos todo existió porque existí hay porque vemos ¡Y hay mundo porque yo lo vi!

Su, Me Robaste Todo Composer(s): Miguel Mateos Performer(s): Miguel Mateos
Su, me robaste todo Su, me convertiste en lodo y tuve que especular con dinero inmoral Su, siete años a tu antojo invertí y perdí, fuera de mí Su, mi mente aún trabaja Su, aunque no des ventaja no me podrás quebrar ni vender, ni comprar Su, soy clase media baja
En tanto mi canto se parte con el llanto del pibe que vende Geniol Espero y quiero que el mundo, el mundo entero sepa de mi dolor por... Su, vas a pedir la hora, ja ja ja Su, tu cama no enamora me mandaste a peliar contra Neptuno en el mar Su, láser versus boleadoras Lennon, León, un solo corazón
Oh! Su, Oh! Su Hay mucho en juego hay un destino nuevo y ollas para destapar Hay ganas, hay onda que nadie más se esconda por miedo a andar con la verdad Oh! Su, Mambrú se va a pasar al club de los que aman la libertad tan solo libertad Oh! Su
You Better Not Do That Composer(s): Tommy Collins Performer(s): Tommy Collins; and various other artists
I'm just a plain ol' country kid and I like to do what's right But just like any other boy I like to hold 'em tight Sometimes I got resistence, but no matter how I try When a cute little gal just looks at me with a gleam in her eye And I say "You better not do that", and she say "Why?" And I say "Because you just better not do that"
When I was in the country school I always had a girl They'd laugh and giggle awful cute and put me in a whirl And everyday at recess time they followed me outside I'd scratch my head and wonder are they ever satified I'd say "Honey, you better not do that" and she'd say "Why?" And I'd say "Because you just better not do that"
(Instrumental Break)
When I was a little older, I went to the country dance I went to have a little fun, I wasn't thinkin' about romance But the dim lights just lured 'em on and they'd snuggle up to me I knew I couldn't last too long, 'cos I'm human you see And I'd say "Baby, you better not do that", and she'd say "Why?" And I'd say "Because you just better not do that"
Now that's the way my life has been, ain't it a cryin' shame How much longer can I last if I keep playin' a game Sometimes I don't know who I am, don't they know what they're doin' I'm afraid in years to come that girls will be my ruin And I'll say "Now honey, you better not do that", and she'll say "Why?" And I'll say "You just better not do that", and she'll say "Why-y-y?" And I'll say "Oh...well...oh...aah...oh...well it's alright if you do that"
Su Di Noi Composer(s): E. Ghinazzi - P. Barabani - D. Milani Performer(s): Pupo
Su di noi ci avresti scommesso tu su di noi mi vendi un sorriso tu se lo vuoi cantare, sognare, sperare così Su di noi gli amici dicevano no, vedrai, è tutto sbagliato Su di noi nemmeno una nuvola su di noi l'amore è una favola su di noi se tu vuoi volare lontano dal mondo, portati dal vento non chiedermi dove si va Noi due respirando lo stesso momento per fare l'amore qua e là Mi stavi vicino e non mi accorgevo di quanto importante eri tu adesso ci siamo, fai presto, ti amo non perdere un attimo in più Su di noi nemmeno una nuvola su di noi l'amore è una favola su di noi se tu vuoi volare... Su di noi ancora una volta dai su di noi se tu vuoi volare ti porto lontano nei campi di grano che nascono dentro di me Nei sogni proibiti di due innamorati nel posto più bello che c'è Lontano dal mondo, portati dal vento respira la tua libertà giocare un momento poi corrersi incontro per fare l'amore qua e là Su di noi nemmeno una nuvola su di noi l'amore è una favola su di noi se tu vuoi volare... Mi stavi vicino e non mi accorgevo di quanto importante eri tu adesso ci siamo, fai presto, ci siamo non perdere un attimo in più Su di noi, ancora una volta dai su di noi, di te non mi stanco mai Su di noi, ancora una volta dai su di noi, di te non mi stanco mai Noi, solo noi, su di noi, solo noi noi, solo noi, su di noi, solo noi
You Better Move On ((German Version: Es Ist Besser, Du Gehst (Drafi Deutscher)) Composer(s): Arthur Alexander First release by: Arthur Alexander - 1961 Covered by multiple other artists
You ask me to give up the hand of the girl I love You tell me, I'm not the man she's worthy of But who are you to tell her who to love? That's up to her, yes, and the Lord above You better move on
Well I know you can buy her fancy clothes But I believe she's happy with me without those things Still you beg me to set her free But my friend, that will never be You better move on
Now I don't blame you for loving her But can't you understand, man, she's my girl And I, never never ever gonna let her go `Cuz I, yeah, I love her so
I think you better go now , I'm getting mighty mad You ask me to give up the only love I've ever had Maybe I would, oh, but I love her so I'm never gonna let her go You better move on
And There Were Shepherds Composer(s): Johann Sebastian Bach Performer(s): Robert Shaw
And there were shepherds in the same country Abiding in the field, keeping watch by night over their flock And lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them And the glory of the Lord shone round about them And they were sore afraid And the angel said to them...
Be not afraid Behold, for I bring good tidings of great joy Which shall be to all the people For unto you this day a Saviour is born Which is Christ the Lord, in the city of David
Break forth, O beauteous heav'nly light And usher in the morning Ye shepherds, shrink not with affright But hear the angel's warning
This child, now weak in infancy Our confidence and joy shall be The power of Satan breaking Our peace eternal making

Style Kills Composer(s): Gary Numan - Robert Palmer Performer(s): Robert Palmer
I see you got yourself a brand new bag You had enough of the imitation drag Although you're leaping to the latest thing You can't ignore the suspicion of a hallow ring Big bills Cheap thrills Style kills You say you set your standards way too high So you convincingly effect a compromise Some unsuspecting body's gonna pay When you discover that you can't always Have your way Big pain, big pills, style kills If he won't you will style kills You say your lover's gotta a lot of nerve 'Cause he won't keep you in the style that you deserve You kid yourself you're only marking time Till you fulfill the revenge in the back Of your mind Clear out, no frills, style kills You never take the blame for your mistakes Why should you give anyone an even break If he won't - you will style kills
You Belong To The City Composer(s): Glenn Frey; Jack Tempchin Performer(s): Glenn Frey; Eric Carmen; Eagles
The sun goes down The night rolls in You can feel it starting all over again The moon comes up And the music calls You're getting tired of staring at the same four walls You're out of your room And down on the street You can feel the crowds through the midnight heat The traffic roars And the sirens scream You look at the faces, its just like a dream
You don't know where you're going You don't care where you've been
'Cause you belong to the city You belong to the night living in a river of darkness, beneath the neon light You belong to the city you belong to the street Its in your moves, its in your blood You're a man of the street
When you said goodbye You were on the run Tryin' to get away from the things you'd done Now you're back again And you're feeling strange So much has happened, but nothing has changed
You still don't know where you're going Nobody cares where you've been
'Cause you belong to the city...
You can see it You can face it You can feel it You can taste it You can hear it You're getting near it You're gonna make it 'Cause you can take it
An Angel Came Down Composer(s): Paul O'Neill - Jon Oliva Performer(s): Trans-Siberian Orch.
An angel came down one night to the earth A mission from God to find out the worth Of everything that His children had done Since that winter night, the birth of His son
And then a sound filled the night in the cold winter air And in the midst of his flight it was holding him there And as he looked towards the Earth for the source of this sound On that cold winter night, it was pulling him down
To bring something back this angel was told That no one could touch, but angels could hold So on that night, when the sky had cleared Among all the stars an angel appeared
And then a sound filled the night in the cold winter air And in the midst of his flight it was holding him there And as he looked towards the Earth for the source of this sound On that cold winter night, it was pulling him down
An angel returned that night through the sky But time it was short, he had to decide And so as he flew back over the land A gift for his Lord was there in his hand
It was the glow of a light, it was the heart of a song It was the tear of a child where they never belonged It was the wish of a soul on an old neon light And the Lord smiled at him on that cold winter night
Kyrie among nations Kyrie among nations Kyrie among nations Here the bells ring through the night
Kyrie among nations Kyrie among nations Kyrie among nations Hear as they ring through the night
Listen to the bells as they ring, listen to the message they bring Listen to the sound as they sing as one voice in the night Hoping that we'll all understand every dream we have's in our hands And for every bell may they ring all through the night
Kyrie among nations Kyrie among nations Kyrie among nations Hear as they ring through the night
Kyrie among nations Kyrie among nations Kyrie among nations Here as they ring through the night
Listen to the bells as they ring, listen to the message they bring Listen to the sound as they sing as one voice in the night Hoping that we'll all understand every dream we have's in our hands And for every bell may they ring all through your life
And so with his story over and our bottle nearly through I asked, "Did this really happen?" He swore every word was true Then he said, "I see you're puzzled, for your mind tells you to doubt me That my story can't be true, but your heart tells you it might be"
He then asked, did it entertain me and I admitted it had charm Then he said, "Perhaps you have learned something, or at worst I've done no harm" Then he rose up from his chair and he said it's time that he should leave "But may God keep and protect you this and every Christmas Eve"
Then he left through the front door and I ran out to ask him back But he was already gone and stranger still, he left no tracks So I walked back to my home recalling all I'd heard and seen And for the first time since my childhood, that night I dreamed a Christmas dream

You belong to my heart Now and forever And our love had its start Not long ago

Now we own all the stars and a million guitars are still playing Darling, you are the song and you'll always belong to my heart
