    (I'm Sorry) I'll Be Busy All Next Week Composer(s): John Gilroy; Harry Linton



    An ebony tinted maid of affectation is loved by a gent of tawny hue She gave to him a standing invitation, saying "Call and I'll be always in for you" After she had spent most of his money, he said "Don't leave me in this world alone, could I call to see you once next week, my honey?" This excuse she offered in regretful tone He easily hid from her occupation, till into jail they threw this maiden dear For counterfeit coins of this great nation, as the money that she took from him was queer She was tried in court by judge and jury, she thought the tawny gent would come to speak But he sent this note that drove her in a fury "Goodbye, my gal, I'm busy all next week" Monday I'll be busy all the day Tuesday I'm going far away Wednesday is the day that I study my French Thursday is for music you would in trench Friday I must paint a little bit Saturday in the dentist's chair I'll sit Sunday is for church, salvation I must seek I'm sorry, I'll be busy all next week

    Performer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute



    Acudo
    a tu templo de carne
    como quien va a misa
    dispuesto a oficiar
    la ceremonia de la Consagración
    Y me acerco
    a tu altar de transubstanciaciones
    divino alimento humano
    donde bebo tu sangre
    cual vampiro
    donde como tu cuerpo
    cuál gusano
    practicando, en un éxtasis de ángeles
    caídos
    la comunión original

    I been tryin' to get to you
    For a long time
    'Cause constantly
    Girl you been on my mind
    I was thinking about a shortcut I could take
    But I found I made a mistake

    I was wrong
    It took too long
    I got caught in rush hour
    Fellas started to shower
    You with love and affection

    Now you won't look in my direction?
    On the expressway
    To your heart
    That expressway
    Not the best way

    We'll there's too many
    In back of me
    And they're all trying
    To get in front of me
    I was thinking I saw a road up ahead.
    But I found
    A Stop sign instead
    I was wrong
    It took too long
    I got caught in rush hour
    Then I started to shower
    You with love and affection
    Now you won't look in my direction?
    On the expressway
    To your heart
    That expressway
    Not the best way

    Experiment IV
    Composer(s): Kate Bush
    Performer(s): Kate Bush



    We were working secretly for the military
    Our experiment in sound was nearly ready to begin
    We only know in theory what we are doing
    Music made for pleasure, music made to thrill
    It was music we were making here until...

    * They told us all they wanted
    Was a sound that could kill someone from a distance
    So we go ahead
    And the meters are over in the red
    It's a mistake in the making

    From the painful cries of mothers
    To the terrifying screams
    We recorded it
    And put it into our machine, but...

    Repeat *

    It could feel like falling in love
    It could feel so bad
    But it could feel so good
    It could sing you to sleep
    But that dream is your enemy

    We won't be there to be blamed
    We won't be there to snitch
    I just pray that someone there
    Can hit the switch, but...

    Repeat *

    And the public are warned to stay off

    Chorus:
    We're going to Atlantic city
    we have packed our dresses pretty
    soon you'll see us mingling with the throng

    Men:
    Before we start on our vacation
    we have one more obligation
    let us ask Nanette to come along

    Women:
    Why should we take Nanette along, she'll be an extra dame

    Men: Because we fellows like Nanette

    Nanette:
    Oh, did I hear my name?

    Please let her go

    Please let her go

    No, no, Nanette
    that's all I hear!
    I get it the whole day through
    No, no, Nanette regales my ear
    no matter what I may do
    Sometime, perhaps
    I'll have my way
    when I am old and turning grey
    But just as yet it's always
    no, no, no, no, no, no, no, Nanette!

    Chorus:
    No, no, no

    and various other artists



    Before you leave these portals
    To meet less fortunate mortals
    There's just one final message
    I would give to you
    You all have learned reliance
    On the sacred teachings of science
    So I hope, through life you never will decline
    In spite of philistine
    Defiance
    To do what all good scientists do

    Experiment
    Make it your motto day and night
    Experiment
    And it will lead you to the light
    The apple on the top of the tree
    Is never too high to achieve
    So take an example from Eve
    Experiment
    Be curious
    Though interfering friends may frown,
    Get furious
    Aat each attempt to hold you down
    If this advice you'll only employ
    The future can offer you infinite joy
    And merriment
    Experiment
    And you'll see

    First release by: The Platters - 1957



    I'm sorry for the things I've done
    I know that I'm the foolish one
    Now that I see who's to blame
    I'm so ashamed, I'm sorry

    I'm sorry for the things I've said
    Just like a child, I lost my head
    I should have known from the start
    I'd break your heart, I'm sorry

    Please be kind and I know you'll find
    It's so easy to forgive
    Darling, wait, for it's not too late
    Give our love a chance to live

    I know the heartaches you've been through
    I know, for I've had heartaches too
    There's nothing more I can do
    But say to you, I'm sorry

    Please be kind and I know you'll find
    It's so easy to forgive
    Darling, wait, for it's not too late
    Give our love a chance to live

    I want a man to hold me tight
    I want a man to kiss goodnight
    If he's young and free just send him to me
    Experience unnecessary

    I want a man with lots of charm
    I want a man, no false alarm
    The kind of guy who kiss my tears when I cry
    Experience unnecessary

    If he is big and strong and willing to learn
    There are such thrills in store
    And when the lights are dim and Im close to him

    I'll teach him what my lips are for

    I want a man around the house
    I want a man not just a mouse
    We'll spend a cozy life as husband and wife
    Experience unnecessary

    repeat 3 & 4 stanza

    Experience unnecessary

    Covered by multiple other artists



    It’s cold here in the city
    It always seems that way
    And I’ve been thinking about you almost everyday
    Thinking about the good times
    Thinking about the rain
    Thinking about how bad it feels alone again

    I’m sorry for the way things are in China
    I’m sorry things ain’t what they used to be
    But more than anything else
    I’m sorry for myself
    'Cause you’re not here with me

    Our friends ask all about you
    I say you’re doing fine
    And I expect to hear from you almost anytime
    But they all know I’m crying
    I can’t sleep at night
    They all know I’m dying down deep inside

    I’m sorry for all the lies I told you
    I’m sorry for the things I didn’t say
    But more than anything else
    I’m sorry for myself
    I can’t believe you went away

    I’m sorry if I took some things for granted
    I’m sorry for the chains I put on you
    But more than anything else
    I’m sorry for myself
    For living without you

    Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez



    Viajamos entre la tormenta
    después de la explosión de Dios
    Cada relámpago nos muestra
    fantasmagóricos de amor
    A cada paso se hunde el lodo
    salta un reptil, acechan diez
    Cada segundo es como el cobro
    de lo que resultamos ser

    A bordo de esta expedición
    va un loco, un albañil
    un nigromante, un ruiseñor
    y un beso espadachín
    Nos falta un día, un niño, un don
    para sobrevivir

    Primero fuimos los heraldos
    llevando buenas del Señor
    pero excedimos su mandato
    cargando el peso del dolor
    Hoy somos ángeles caídos
    junto al que fuimos a curar
    Temen que a nuestros propios hijos
    les enseñemos a volar

    A bordo de esta expedición
    va un loco, un albañil
    un nigromante, un ruiseñor
    y un beso espadachín
    Nos falta un día, un niño, un don

    There you stood on the edge of your feather
    Expecting to fly
    While I laughed, I wondered whether
    I could wave goodbye
    Knowin' that you'd gone
    By the summer it was healing
    We had said goodbye
    All the years we'd spent with feeling
    Ended with a cry
    Babe, ended with a cry
    Babe, ended with a cry

    I tried so hard to stand
    As I stumbled and fell to the ground
    So hard to laugh as I fumbled
    And reached for the love I found
    Knowin' it was gone
    If I never lived without you
    Now you know I'd die
    If I never said I loved you
    Now you know I'd try
    Babe, now you know I'd try
    Babe, now you know I'd try
    Babe

    Vergeef me
    Het spijt me
    Jouw blik doet me pijn
    Je verwijt me steeds weer het gene
    Dat allang is verdwenen

    M'n liefde
    Ik huilde
    Om jou die ik zonder meer ruilde
    Ik heb je bedrogen
    En zie in je ogen verdriet

    Liefste
    Het spijt me
    Zeg me alsjeblieft
    Wat kan ik doen
    Om het allemaal weer goed te maken
    Vergeef me nog
    Deze ene keer
    Misschien wordt het dan net weer
    Zoals het vroeger was

    Jou kan ik
    Niet missen
    Ik zou alles uit willen wissen
    Opnieuw te beginnen
    Jou weer te beminnen voor altijd

    Vergeef me
    Geloof me
    Het was niets
    En ik zal je beloven
    M'n liefde te geven
    En verder te leven
    Voor jou...

    Ils sont partis dans un soleil d'hiver
    Ils sont partis courir la mer
    Pour effacer la peur
    Pour écraser la peur
    Que la vie leur a clouée au fond du coeur
    Ils sont partis en croyant aux moissons
    Du vieux pays de leurs chansons
    Le coeur chantant d'espoir
    Le coeur hurlant d'espoir
    Ils ont repris le chemin de leur mémoire
    Ils ont pleuré les larmes de la mer
    Ils ont versé tant de prières
    "Délivrez-nous, nos frères
    Délivrez-nous, nos frères!"
    Que leurs frères les ont tirés vers la lumière
    Ils sont là-bas dans un pays nouveau
    Qui flotte au mât de leur bateau
    Le coeur brisé d'amour
    Le coeur perdu d'amour
    Ils ont retrouvé la Terre de l'Amour....

    Bee:
    Crazy rhythm, here's the doorway
    I'll go my way, you'll go your way
    Crazy rhythm, from now on
    We're through.
    Here is where we have a showdown
    I'm too high-hat, you're too low-down
    Crazy rhythm, here's goodbye to you!
    They say that when a high-brow meets a low-brow
    Walkin' along Broadway
    Soon the high-brow
    He has no brow
    Ain't it a shame?
    And you're to blame
    What's the use of prohibition?
    You produce the same condition
    Crazy rhythm, from now on, we're through
    Crazy rhythm, I've gone crazy

    Existential Blues
    Composer(s): Tom "T Bone" Stankus
    Performer(s): Tom "T Bone" Stankus



    Hey, man, what are you really into, huh?

    The elusive butterfly has just tip-toed past my door
    My buddy likes the Yankees; she says "Hey, T-Bone, what's the score?"
    And I say, "Well, Reggie got 1 in 1 in 3, and 25 is 6 to 4"
    Is the left-wing really pinko? Colonel Sanders, what a bore!
    You ask so many questions, what answers should I choose?
    Is this schizoid paranoia, or just existential blues?

    The amenities of life have been chasing my soul
    And my mind is transcendental, and I'm losing all control
    And I'm sinking in the quagmire of illusions and Thoreau
    I cry out, "My name is T-Bone!" as a hound dog digs a hole
    You ask so many questions, what answers should I choose?
    Is this Plato's heebie-jeebies, or just existential blues?

    Sailing, sailing, what is 'lusion? What is tru-ue?
    Sailing, sailing, over the existential blues
    God bless America, and Old Glory too!
    May she always wave o'er us with the red, white, and existential blues!
    Hey, ba-ba-de-ba-ba-da-ba-da-da
    Ba-de-bom-ba-de-bom--ba-ding-a-ding-ding ding-existential blues
    Hey, you can do what you want but lay off my existential blues!
    My blue suede existential blues!

    [Spoken:]
    I was on a quest!
    To dream the impossible dream
    Walking down the road one day, doo-dah, doo-dah
    I was walking down the road, I was looking for the truth of life
    When I came across all these little people, little people
    Little people all around me
    They looked up at me and said, "Hey, mister, are you tall?"
    I said, "Yes, I'm tall, but who are you weird little whiners?"
    And they looked up at me with their big, red, bloodshot eyes and said

    We are the lollipop kids, the lollipop kids
    The lollipop kids
    We are the lollipop kids!
    And we'd like to welcome you to Munchkinland!

    I said, "Hey! Hey, weird little whiners, I am on a quest
    To dream the impossible dream
    Walking down the road one day, doo-dah, doo-dah
    I said, "Hey kids, I'm looking for the truth of life
    Where do I go, who do I see?"
    They said, "Slow down, mister, in order to find the truth of life one must see The Wizard!"
    I said, "The Wizard? Well, where does this wizard, old wise one, live?"
    They said, "You see the big, green, glow-in-the-dark house up on the hill?"
    I said, "Yes, I see the big, green, glow-in-the-dark house up on the hill
    There's a big, dark forest between me and the big, green glow-in-the-dark house up on the hill
    And a little old lady on a Hoover vacuum cleaner going
    'I'll get you, my little pretty, and your little dog, Toto, too!'
    I don't even have a little dog, Toto"

    Such predicaments, I must forge ahead!
    To dream the impossible dream
    Walking down the road one day, doo-dah, doo-dah
    I must find the truth of life
    I said, "But you know, kids, I can handle a big, green, glow-in-the-dark house
    up on the hill, I can handle a darn forest, I can handle the little old lady
    But that's a very strange road you're sending me down!
    I've seen yellow stripes in the middle of a road before, but kids, uh, never quite that wide!"
    All right, tighten your shorts pilgrim, and sing like da Duke

    Follow the yellow brick road (Come on)
    Follow the yellow brick road (Everybody sing)
    Follow, follow, follow, follow
    Follow the yellow brick road
    If ever a wonderful wiz there was
    The Wizard of Oz is one because
    Because, because, because, because, because
    Because of the wonderful things he does!
    La-la-la-la-la-la-la, ha-ha!
    We're off to see the wizard
    The wonderful Wizard of Oz!

    Wellllll, I got a little bit tired of
    Walking down the road one day, doo-dah, doo-dah
    I got a little bit tired of walking down this old blinding yellow road
    So pulled my little tired old body off to a little rest area
    And lo and behold there's a little field of little red flowers out there
    And they, heh, smelled so good
    Whoa
    I was gettin' pretty tired and they smelled so good, and I
    Figured, well, I'll just stretch out in this little field of

    Poppies! Poppies! Poppies! Poppies!
    (Cough)
    Hey, what a strange dream, man!
    The little flowers, they smell awfully good, and I was pretty tired
    The old wizard's just gonna have to wait, man, because I'm just gonna
    Stretch out again in the little field of

    Poppies! Poppies! Poppies!
    Oh God! Oh God! Oh God!
    Dorothy! Dorothy! Dorothy!
    (Snifffffff)
    Dorothy! Dorothy! Dorothy!
    ....confidence in herself, man
    Along came this old man in a green El Dorado II, screeched to a halt
    A little short man with a big red nose
    Toking a bottle of Yukon Jack
    Strolled up to me and said, "Hey, son"
    I said, "Old man, don't bother me
    Poppies, mmmmmmmmm!"
    He said, "T-Bone!"
    I said, "Wait a minute, this old man knows my name, he must be The Wizard!"

    He must be the Wizard
    The Wizard of Oz
    Why have you come to haunt me?
    Oh, Wizard of Oz

    I said, "Oh, Wizard, old wise one, I have been on a quest
    To dream the impossible dream
    Walking down the road one day, doo-dah, doo-dah
    And I met these little people
    We are the lollipop kids, the lollipop kids, the lollipop kids
    Follow the yellow brick road
    Follow, follow, follow
    I got tired
    Poppies! Poppies!
    Little old man, I've been through hell!"
    He said, "Hey, son, slow down, relax"
    I said, "But, wizard, old wise one, I have come so far to find the truth of life!"
    He says, "Hey, son, slow down, relax"
    He said, "To tell you the truth, son..."
    I said, "Wizard, that's what I've come to find is the truth"
    He said, "No, no, no, son, you've got me all wrong
    Heh heh
    To tell you the truth, son...uh...how can I tell you this?
    Uh...
    I've been in this field of poppies a long time myself, and I've come to find, son
    that the only truth in life is right here in this bottle"
    I said, "Wizard!"
    He said, "No, truly, son
    In fact, I'd rather have this bottle in front of me than A Frontal Lobotomy!"
    How profound, Wizard!

    Some girl with psychic power, she said, "T-Bone, what's your sign?"
    I blink and answer, "Neon!" I thought I'd blow her mind
    She's reading Moby Dick by some fruitcake named Herman
    She's chomping on a knockwurst, was the duchess really German?
    You ask so many questions, what answers should I choose?
    Is this really Butte, Montana, or just existential blues?

    Really Butte, Montana?
    Is this Plato's heebie-jeebies?
    Is this schizoid paranoia?

    (Star Trek-like sound effects)

    La-la-la-la-la-la-la, existential blu-uu-uuuuu-ues!
