Subterranean Homesick Blues
Composer(s): Bob Dylan
First release by: Bob Dylan - 1965
Covered by multiple other artists



Johny's in the basement
Mixing up the medicine
I'm on the pavement
Thinking about the government
The man in the trench coat
Badge out, laid off
Says he's got a bad cough
Wants to get it paid off
Look out kid
It's somethin' you did
God knows when
But you're doin' it again
You better duck down the alley way
Lookin' for a new friend
The man in the coon-skip cap
In the big pen
Wants eleven dollar bills
You only got ten

Maggie comes fleet foot
Face full of black soot
Talkin' that the heat put
Plants in the bed but
The phone's tapped anyway
Maggie says that many say
They must bust in early May
Orders from the DA
Look out kid
Don't matter what you did
Walk on your tip toes
Don't try, 'No Doz'
Better stay away from those
That carry around a fire hose
Keep a clean nose
Watch the plain clothes
You don't need a weather man
To know which way the wind blows

Get sick, get well
Hang around an ink well
Ring bell, hard to tell
If anything is goin' to sell
Try hard, get barred
Get back, write Braille
Get jailed, jump bail Join the army, if you failed
Look out kid
You're gonna get hit
But losers, cheaters
Six-time users
Hang around the theaters
Girl by the whirlpool
Lookin' for a new fool
Don't follow leaders
Watch the parkin' meters

Ah get born, keep warm
Short pants, romance, learn to dance
Get dressed, get blessed
Try to be a success
Please her, please him, buy gifts
Don't steal, don't lift
Twenty years of schoolin'
And they put you on the day shift
Look out kid
They keep it all hid
Better jump down a manhole
Light yourself a candle
Don't wear sandals
Try to avoid the scandals
Don't wanna be a bum
You better chew gum
The pump don't work
'Cause the vandals took the handles

ah get born, keep warm
short pants, romance, learn how to dance
get dressed, get blessed
try to be a success
please her, please him, buy gifts
don't steal, don't lift
twenty years of schooling
and they put you on the day shift
look out kid
they keep it all hid
better jump down a manhole, light yourself a candle
don't wear sandals, you cant afford the scandal
don't wanna be a bum, you better chew gum
the pump don't work
cause the vandals took the handles

You Bug Me, Baby
Composer(s): Sonny Bono
Performer(s): Larry Williams; The Jive Romeros



You got the kinda face that I can't resist
You got the kinda lips that ought to be kissed
You got that funny little look, baby, in your eye
Oooh-wee baby
I just want to die

You bug me baby

When we go riding in the pale moonlight
All I wanna to do is hold-a you tight
You whisper come, come close to me
Ooo-wee baby
I'm in ecstasy

You bug me baby

The other night when I kissed your lips
My head was spinning and my heart did flips
And you looked at me and you wringkled your nose
Ooh-wee baby
You curl my toes

You bug me baby

When we go dating to a drive-in show
The picture playing we never know
Your close to me and I'm close to you
Ooh-wee baby
Is that lipstick new

You bug me baby

You got the kinda face that I can't resist
You got the kinda of lips that ought to be kissed
Funny little look baby, in your eye
Ooh-wee baby
I just want to die

You bug me baby

When we go riding in the pale moonlight
All I wanna do is hold you tight
And you whisper to me come close to me
Ooh-wee baby
I'm in ecstasy

You bug me baby

You bug me baby

Hey Mister
Composer(s): Spooner Oldham - Dan Penn
Performer(s): Sandy Posey



Mister
Mister have you got a dime
I want to call my mother
Down in Caroline

A random man took advantage of me
He said he'd show me the bright city lights
He took my love and then he was gone
and now I'm stranded in the windy seas

Ooh Mister
Mister would you take the time
To give me some directions
to the nearest wellfare line

O lord how I want to go home
I need the love of my family
Dig down in the depth of your heart
Please Mister have pitty on me

Mister
hey mister
can't you spare me one thin dime
I've got to talk to mother, dear mother
down in Caroline
A ramblin' man done took advantage of me
He said he'd show me the bright city lights ...

You Brought A New Kind Of Love To Me
Composer(s): Sammy Fain; Irving Kahal; Pierre Norman
Performer(s): Maurice Chevalier;
and various other artists



Sweet one, fairer than the flowers
Never will I meet one sweeter than you
Would you turn away or could you
Really learn to care if I ever dare
To say I love you

If the nightingales could sing like you
They'd sing much sweeter than they do
For you brought a new kind of love to me

If the sandman brought me dreams of you
I'd want to sleep my whole life through
For you brought a new kind of love to me

I know that I'm the slave, you're the queen
But still you can understand
That underneath it all you're a maid
And I am only a man

I would work and slave the whole day through
If I could hurry home to you
For you brought a new kind of love to me

----------


As sung by Doris Day:



Sweet one, fairer than the flowers
Never will I meet one sweeter than you
Would you turn away or could you
Really learn to care if I ever dare
To say I love you

If the nightingales could sing like you
They'd sing much sweeter than they do
'Cause you brought a new kind of love to me

If the sandman brought me dreams of you
I'd want to sleep my whole life through
'Cause you brought a new kind of love to me

I know that you're the slave, I'm the queen
But still you can understand
That underneath it all I'm a maid
And you are only a man

I would work and slave the whole day through
If I could hurry home to you
'Cause you brought a new kind of love to me

Substitute
Composer(s): Pete Townshend
First release by: The Who - 1966
Covered by multiple other artists



You think we look pretty good together
You think my shoes are made of leather

But I'm a substitute for another guy
I look pretty tall but my heels are high
The simple things you see are all complicated
I look pretty young, but I'm just back-dated, yeah

Substitute your lies for fact
I can see right through your plastic mac
I look all white, but my dad was black
My fine looking suit is really made out of sack

I was born with a plastic spoon in my mouth
The north side of my town faced east, and the east was facing south
And now you dare to look me in the eye
Those crocodile tears are what you cry
It's a genuine problem, you won't try
To work it out at all you just pass it by, pass it by

Substitute me for him
Substitute my coke for gin
Substitute you for my mum
At least I'll get my washing done

You Broke The Only Heart That Ever Loved You
Composer(s): Freddy James; Little Jack Little
Performer(s): The Mills Brothers



Your reputation has preceeded you
You always hurt someone who needed you
It doesn't take long for news to get around
And now you want to be found

'Cause you broke the only heart that ever loved you
And you tossed away the only love you knew
As if nothin' mattered, you battered and shattered
A heart so true

Only to wake up and find that the break-up
Was breakin' the heart of you
And now you come to me for consolation
And I'd be a fool to fall for such a line.

Yes, you broke the only heart that ever loved you
And now that I met you
I'm not gonna let you break mine

I'm on a submarine mission for you baby
I feel the way you were going
I picked you up on my tv screen
I feel your undercurrent flowing

I can't figure out your watery love

Under the sea under a water

You Broke My Heart To Pass The Time Away
Composer(s): Leo Wood; Joe Goodwin
Performer(s): Manuel Romain; Henry Burr



You've said goodbye and everything is over now it seems 
And all you left behind for me were dreams, just shattered dreams
For you were all I had, the only happiness I knew
You went away without a word, you proved your love untrue

I see you as I saw you on the day we two first met
You seemed as an angel from above your smile I can't forget
The smiles that made me think, perhaps, some day for me you'll care
The smile that promised untold joy, but left me in despair

You never meant the kisses that you gave me
I've paid with tears for every bit of joy
You made a plaything of my heart, the heart I gave to you
You broke it like a child would break a toy
The love you gave was like a fading flower 
The kind of love that lives for just a day 
But forgive you, dear, I will
God knows, I love you still
Tho' you broke my heart, to pass the time away

Sube A La Nube
Performer(s): Fernando Ubiergo



El otro día me llamó
el nuevo director
de la compañía
Y dijo que me van a echar
porque hace tiempo ya
mis discos no vendían
Me habló de canciones nuevas
para venderlas afuera
Olvídate de las lentas
ahahá, ahahá

Al otro día desperté
me puse a buscar
una canción de esas
Después cuando la terminé
me puse a guitarrear
bailando por la pieza
Al rato llegó mi hijo
me dijo "viejo qué pasa"
Y yo respondí que nada
Ahahá ahahá

Sube a la nube
Bájame el agua
que queda
Deja a la estrella
cantar lo que quiera
Ahahá, ahahá

A la hora de cenar
en el comedor
tuve mi platea
Todo el mundo bien callado
para escuchar
mi canción más nueva

Una vez finalizada
sólo vi caras largas
Yo pregunté que pasa
Ahahá...ahahá

Sube a la nube
bájame el agua que puedas
deja a la estrella
cantar lo que quiera
Ahahá... ahahá

You Broke A Heart (That Was Breaking For You)
Composer(s): Ernest Tubb
Performer(s): Ernest Tubb



Moonlight night stars shining bright
Sweethearts are strolling by my window tonight
Laughing so gay as they go on there way
To them to whole world seems bright

And I sit alone lonesome and blue
Wondering, just wondering yet I know it’s true
As I live again those hours of pain
When You Broke A Heart That Was Breaking For You

The heart that was breaking for you, dear
Is broke and will never forgive
And I want you to know, where ever you go
I’ll blame you as long as I live

Now I’ve made mistakes some great, some small
Some are so needless, haven’t we all?
But the greatest mistake in all my time
Was to believe what you said when you said you where mine

As the long years unfold for me there’s not much in view
But if you ever find happiness it’s more than you’re due
If your nights seem so long, so endless and blue
Remember You Broke A Heart That Was Breaking For You

The heart that was breaking for you, dear
Is broke and will never forgive
And I want you to know, where ever you go
I’ll blame you as long as I live

Angels In The Snow
Composer(s): Kenny Loggins - Julia Loggins - Steve Wood
Performer(s): Kenny Loggins; Mervyn Warren



When December comes
Then we'll take the kids to Mama's
They can make snow angels in the yard
Like a Christmas card

We'll decorate the tree
Put an angel high above us
Like we always do
At Christmas

On and on it goes
Every year new memories to share
And for all we know
We will all of us be there

When the autumn leaves have gone to gold
And swallows know December's calling
I'll be flying home a thousand times
In all my sweetest dreams

I can see the glow in your eyes
As we sit by the fire
Like lovers we knew long ago
While we watch our angels in the snow

When December comes
We'll be trying to remember
Where we packed our woolen winter clothes
Only heaven knows

When December comes
We'll be hanging pine and holly
Singing all the songs we sing
At Christmas

Home is ever near
Hearts return no matter what we do
And Love will build a bridge
And I will always be there with you

When the autumn leaves have gone to gold
And swallows know December's calling
I'll be flying home a thousand times
If only in my dreams

And I see the glow in your eyes
As we sit by the fire
Like lovers we knew long ago
While we watch our angels in the snow

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

Chorus

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
Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez



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

Oh, suave niña, suave niña
niña suave y mía

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!

He was headed down that long lonesome road

(Well now you'd better run)
Run when I say, somebody's calling you
You'd better run
Run when I say, (somebody's calling you)
You'd better run
Get away from here, somebody's calling you
I feel like my time has long gone
Long gone, (my time is long gone), long gone

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
