Eyes Of Blue Composer(s): Paul Carrack Performer(s): Paul Carrack
I want to know how does it feel Behind those eyes of blue Youve made your mistakes And now your heart aches Behind those eyes of blue
People may say youve had your chance And let it slip away But hard as they try Theres a dream that wont die Behind those eyes of blue
Maybe once in a while Theres a trace of a smile Behind those eyes of blue But its painfully clear Theres a river of tears Behind those eyes of blue
You know life is too short For comprimising Take a hold of your dream And realise it
You know theres nothing left To stand in your way Except yourself and I know Though your heart's full of pain That a hope still remains Behind those eyes of blue
I'm Tellin' The Birds, Tellin' The Bees (aka How I Love You) Composer(s): Lew Brown; Cliff Friend Performer(s): The Westerners and multiple other artists
Through fields of golden flowers Where we spent sunny hours I'm strolling along, thinking of you
I told the four leaf clover My lonesome days are over I talk about you all the day through
I'm tellin' the birds, tellin' the bees Tellin' the flowers, tellin' the trees How I love you
I'm tellin' the moon, tellin' the sun Tellin' the stars and tellin' each one How I love you
I feel so happy and I show it I want the whole wide world to know it
The shady old nook, the shadows that fall The little old brook, I'm tellin' them all How I love you
Tellin' the birds, tellin' the bees Tellin' the flowers and tellin' the trees How I love you
Tellin' the moon, tellin' the sun Tellin' the stars and tellin' each one How I love you
I feel so happy and I show it I want the whole wide world to know it
The shady old nook, the shadows that fall The little old brook, I'm tellin' them all How I love you

Eye Of The Zombie Composer(s): John C. Fogerty Performer(s): John C. Fogerty
Hoo! Oooooh!
Shadows on the mountain, and the night begins to fall Gather up the children, 'fore the darkness takes us all Tribe has come together, standin' naked against the night Twenty feet from the fire, the evil waits with zombie eyes
Chorus: Eye-eye-eye eye of the Zombie! Eye-eye-eye eye of the Zombie!
Oh! Sneakin' through the long grass on leopard feet silently A beast already dead comes to join the dance on the zombie Ooh! Time has come again - again the moment of truth The terror is at hand, and there's nothin' you can do
Chorus
Oh! Hoo! Aaa-aah! Hoo! Aaa-aaa-aaaah!
From out of nowhere he's there, flashing hideous teeth Panic in the crowd, helter-skelter, we're brought to our knees Back to the darkness, back on the mountain he stands You can't fight a shadow, you can't kill a dead man
I'm Stone In Love With You Composer(s): Thom Bell; Linda Creed Performer(s): Johnny Mathis
If I could I'd like to be, a great big movie star Overnight sensation; drive a big expensive car I would buy you everything your little heart desires These things I do, 'cause I'm stone in love with you (Stone in love with you)
If I were a businessman, I'd sit behind a desk I'd be so successful; I would scare Wall Street to death I would hold a meeting for the press to let them know I did it all, 'cause I'm stone in love with you (Stone in love with you)
I'm just a man, an average man doing everything the best I can But if I could, I'd give the world to you...
I'd like to someday be the owner of the first house on the moon There would be no neighbours, and no population boom You might say that all I do is dream my life away I guess it's true, 'cause I'm stone in love with you I guess it's true, 'cause I'm stone in love with you I guess it's true, 'cause I'm stone in love with you
Eye Of The Tiger Composer(s): Jim Peterik; Frank Sullivan Performer(s): Survivor; and various other artists
Risin' up, back on the street Took my time, took my chances Went the distance Now I'm back on my feet Just a man and his will to survive So many times, it happened too fast You trade your passion for glory Don't lose your grip on the dreams of the past You must fight just to keep them alive
* It's the eye of the tiger It's the thrill of the fight Risin' up to the challenge Of our rival And the last known survivor Stalks his prey in the night And his fortune must always be Eye of the tiger
Face to face, out in the heat Hangin' tough, stayin' hungry They stack the odds Still we take to the street Fot the kill with the skill to survive (Repeat *)
Risin' up straight to the top Had the guts, got the glory Went the distance Now I'm not gonna stop Just a man and his will to survive (Repeat *)
The eye of the tiger The eye of the tiger The eye of the tiger The eye of the tiger
I'm Still Waiting Here For You Composer(s): Paul Anka Performer(s): Paul Anka
(You didn't even say goodbye) So I sit here and I cry there's nothing left for me to do but I'm still waiting here for you
(You didn't even say you cared) Now my love in you is shared I don't know why you made me blue but I'm still waiting here for you
I will walk through the storm All my tears fell like the rain I will long & I will mourn Till you're back in my arms once again
(So darling, won't you hear my plea) And please return your love to me And then I will not be so blue And I'll no longer wait for you
(So darling, won't you hear my plea) Darling, hear my plea (Please return your love to me) Return your love to me And I will not be so blue And I'll no longer wait for you (You didn't even say goodbye)
Eye In The Sky Composer(s): Eric Woolfson; Alan Parsons Performer(s): The Alan Parsons Project; and various other artists
Don't think sorry's easily said Don't try turning tables instead You've taken lots of Chances before But I'm not gonna give anymore Don't ask me That's how it goes Cause part of me knows what you're thinkin'
Don't say words you're gonna regret Don't let the fire rush to your head I've heard the accusation before And I ain't gonna take any more Believe me The sun in your Eyes Made some of the lies worth believing
Chorus: I am the eye in the sky Looking at you I can read your mind I am the maker of rules Dealing with fools I can cheat you blind And I don't need to see any more To know that I can read your mind, I can read your mind
Don't leave false illusions behind Don't Cry cause I ain't chnaging my mind So find another fool like before Cause I ain't gonna live anymore believing Some of the lies while all of the Signs are deceiving
I'm Still Standing Composer(s): Elton John; Bernie Taupin First release by: Elton John - 1983 Covered by multiple other artists
You could never know what it's like Your blood like winter freezes just like ice And there's a cold lonely light that shines from you You'll wind up like the wreck you hide behind that mask you use
And did you think this fool could never win Well look at me, I'm coming back again I got a taste of love in a simple way And if you need to know while I'm still standing you just fade away
Don't you know I'm still standing better than I ever did Looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid I'm still standing after all this time Picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind
I'm still standing yeah yeah yeah I'm still standing yeah yeah yeah
Once I never could hope to win You starting down the road leaving me again The threats you made were meant to cut me down And if our love was just a circus you'd be a clown by now
Extremadura campo de toros heridos que no braman ¿Ocultarán el gemido de su garganta? Extremadura hombres que rezan a Dios para que llueva pero ¿quién les asegura la cosecha? Extremadura soledad llena de encinas sobre campos con veredas ¿por qué se fueron los hombres de sus tierras? Extremadura tierra de conquistadores que apenas te dieron nada Ay, mi Extremadura amarga Ay, mi Extremadura levántate y anda
Extranjera Composer(s): Miguel Gallardo Performer(s): Miguel Gallardo
Se fue de su pueblo un día hace tiempo ya, pensando volver llevaba una maleta vieja y en el corazón, toda su niñez Igual que un ave viajera ella tuvo que emigrar buscando una vida nueva... Extranjera Llegó a un país lejano que le dio calor, y porvenir se enamoró de un muchacho que le dio su amor, y fue feliz Pero al pensar en su tierra siente ganas de llorar y quiere volver a ella... Extrajera Extranjera, extranjera aún te grita el corazón cuando suena una guitarra o alguien canta una canción, de tu país no lo puedes evitar... Extranjera Después llegaron los hijos y hubo que luchar, y hacerlos crecer y así pasaron los años sin dejarla ya, poder volver Pero va al mar y aunque calle su alma vuelve a recordar cuando era niña en su playa... Extranjera Extranjera, extranjera aún te sientes en la piel cuando te hablan de la tierra que una vez te vio nacer, lejos de aquí no lo puedes evitar... Extranjera Extranjera, extranjera aún te grita el corazón cuando suena una guitarra o alguien canta una canción, de tu país no lo puedes evitar... Extranjera Se fue de su pueblo un día hace tiempo ya, pensando volver
I'm Still Not Through Missing You Composer(s): Larry Stock; Mann Curtis Performer(s): Andy Russell
I'm still not through missing you I'm still not through feeling blue I thought that time would ease the ache Make it easier to take But each day it starts anew That yearning, burning, need for you I said goodbye with a smile And now, I cry all the while I go to sleep, you're on my mind When I wake, I wake to find I'm still not through missing you
Extrañame Composer(s): José Alfredo Jiménez Performer(s): Alberto Vazquez; and various other artists
Extrañame aunque maldigas mi cariño extrañame aunque no entiendas mi destino que me vas a recordar por siempre y para siempre no me podrás olvidar me tienes que adorar eternamente
Extrañame cuando te ofrezcan una copa extrañame cuando te besen en la boca cuando te digan como yo las cosas más bonitas de la vida cuando te sientas muy feliz con ansias de vivir extrañame
I'm Still Here Composer(s): Tom Waits; Kathleen Brennan Performer(s): Tom Waits
You haven't looked at me that way in years You dreamed me up and left me here How long was I dreaming for What was it you wanted me for
You haven't looked at me that way in years Your watch has stopped and the pond is clear Someone turn the lights back off I'll love you til all time is gone
You haven't looked at me that way in years But I'm still here
Extra, Extra Composer(s): Miguel Mateos Performer(s): Miguel Mateos
Puedo escribir con rouge te amo en el espejo puedo romper el diario de hoy nos dicen que el futuro es de nuestros hijos entonces vos y yo, que hacemos vos y yo Puedo sentir tu mano en mi broche los Sex Pistols tocan gratis esta noche puedo acabar con el machismo argentino ya lo vas a ver, ya lo vas a ver
Extra, extra no puedo verte mal nada es real, todo es ficción viviendo con la cola entre las piernas en el callejón Extra, extra no puedo verte mal seguridad para crear y no tengo dinero para un mísero café en la popular
Tengo un pase, puedo invitarte a Obras en este tiempo nos han echo olvidar que en este país se puede ser feliz puedo pedirle una limosna al presidente puedo morirme de hambre con la gente darte asilo en mi propio baño puedo darte más, quiero darte más
Extra, extra no puedo verte mal nada es real, todo es ficción viviendo con la cola entre las piernas en el callejón Extra, extra no puedo verte mal seguridad para crear y no tengo dinero para un mísero café en la popular
I'm Sticking With You Composer(s): Lou Reed First recording/First release by: The Velvet Underground - 1969/1985 Covered by multiple other artists
I'm sticking with you 'Cos I'm made out of glue Anything that you might do I'm gonna do too
You held up a stage coach in the rain And I'm doing the same Saw you're hanging from a tree And I made believe it was me
I'm sticking with you 'Cos I'm made out of glue Anything that you might do I'm gonna do too
Some people go into the stratosphere Soldiers fighting with the Cong
But with you by my side I can do anything When we swing We hang past right or wrong
I'll do anything for you Anything you want me too I'll do anything for you Oohoh I'm sticking with you Oohoh I'm sticking with you Oohoh I'm sticking with you
