Old Time Christmas Composer(s): Aaron Barker - John Jarvis Performer(s): George Strait
Tricycles, Bicycles Candy canes and candlelight Tryin' to stay awake all night To catch a glimpse of Santa's reindeer Mama bakin', sister makin' Angels in the fallin' snow Now it seems so long ago I wish they all were here
We'd have an old time Christmas An old time Christmas Just like the ones from yesterday We'd leave the world behind us Let the spirit find us And have an old time Christmas For old times sake
Friends singin', bells ringin' Snowman standing in the yard It's a living Christmas card Captured in our hearts forever Friends scatter, it's won't matter The magic never melts away It only takes a Christmas Day To make it reappear
We'd have an old time Christmas An old time Christmas Just like the ones from yesterday We'd leave the world behind us Let the spirit find us And have an old time Christmas For old times sake
So leave the world behind you Let the spirit find you And have an old time Christmas For old times sake
You By My Side Composer(s): Chris Squire Performer(s): Chris Squire
You know I love you I can't be without you When I'm alone, I still feel this way about you Everything's clear Here is here And everything is as it appears to be so
Here am I dreaming I stand by myself Look and it's easy to see, that I'm not the only one reaching for a new kind of wealth Reaching with nothing to hide And you by my side
You know we love you We can't be without you When we're aat home, we still feel this way about you Everything's clear Here is here And everything is as it appears to be so
Here we are dreaming We stand by ourselves Look and it's easy to see, that We're not the only ones reaching for a new kind of wealth Reaching with nothing to hide And you on our side
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
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
Submission Composer(s): Johnny Rotten - Steve Jones - Glen Matlock - Paul Cook First release by: Sex Pistols - 1977 Covered by multiple other artists
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
Submission going down down Dragging me down submission I can't tell ya what I've found
You've got me pretty deep baby I can't figure out your watery love I gotta solve your mystery Your sitting it out in heaven above
Submission going down down Dragging me down submission I can't tell you what I've found For there's a mystery Under the sea under a water Come share it
Submission going down down Dragging me down submission I can't tell ya what I've found 'Cos it's a secret Under the water under the sea Octopus Rock
Got me pretty deep baby I can't figure out your watery love I gotta solve your mystery Your sitting it out in heaven above
Submission going down down Dragging me down submission I can't tell ya what I've found
Submission Submission Going down down under the sea I wanna drown drown under the water Going down down under the sea
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
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 its 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 Ill blame you as long as I live
Now Ive made mistakes some great, some small Some are so needless, havent 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 theres not much in view But if you ever find happiness its more than youre 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 Ill blame you as long as I live
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!
