Don't cross the street in the middle
In the middle, in the middle, in the middle
In the middle of the block
Teach your eyes to look out
Teach your ears to hear
Walk up to the corner
Where the coast is clear
And wait...
And wait...
Until you see the light turn green

Naufragée Du Tendre
English Title: Shipwrecked
Composer(s): Philippe Tatartcheff; Anna McGarrigle
Performer(s): Kate & Anna McGarrigle



Dans une glace transparente
Un reflet ne reflètant rien
Lorsque je t'appelle
Tu ne réponds pas

Quand je suis arrivé
Tu n'étais déjà plus là
Je me suis écroulé en pleurant
C'était pas tellement çà
Qui m'avait chaviré
Mais pour la première fois tu me manquais

Quand j'étais avec toi
Que les jours étaient longs
Mais les nuits étaient trop courtes pour exprimer
La tendresse et le besoin
Que je ressentais parfois
De t'avoir auprès de moi te consoler

Que c'est bête de te parler
Quand t'es pas la pour m'écouter
Que c'est bête de te parler
Quand t'es pas là pour m'écouter

Que de fois j'ai supplié
Le destin de m'accorder
Un sourire, une parole, une attention
Combien de fois j'eus échangé
L'univers très volontiers
Pour un seul de tes regards si invitants

J'ai bien dû m'en aller
Je ne pouvais pas cèder
A la mélancolie m'enhavissant
Mais sans avoir d'autre intention
Que de partir tout bêtement
Et de masquer mon désarroi en me cachant

Que c'est bête de te parler...

In The Middle Of The House

The railroad comes through the middle of the house
The railroad comes through the middle of the house
The trains all come through the middle of the house
Since the company bought the land

They let us live in the front of the house
They let us live in the back
But there ain't no living in the middle of the house
'Cause that's the railroad track

When a bill collector comes to the house
He knocks and bangs on the door
So we sit him right down in the middle of the house
And he never comes back no more
No, he never comes back no more

The railroad comes through the middle of the house
The railroad comes through the middle of the house
It comes and goes through the middle of the house
And the trains are all on time
And here comes the 5:09

The railroad comes through the middle of the house
The in and out of the middle of the house
Right smack dab through the middle of the house
Where the parlor used to be

There's a great big door in the front of the house
There's a little old door in the back
But we can't have doors in the middle of the house
'Cause that's the railroad track

A relative came to visit the house
He liked to scream and fuss
So we sat him right down in the middle of the house
And he never more bothered us
No, he never more bothered us

Oh, the railroad comes through the middle of the house
The railroad comes through the middle of the house
It comes and goes through the middle of the house
Since the trains are all on time

I'm singing this song in the middle of the house...
(Woooh-Woooh - sound of train rushing by)

Natureza Noturna
Composer(s): Raimundo Fagner; Capinan
Performer(s): Raimundo Fagner



Eu tenho o mesmo segredo
Dos malditos solitários
Só a noite é minha amiga
A quem friamente confesso
A natureza noturna
Dos meus infernos diários
Nem a mulher que me ama
Se quer a moça de gênio
Nem a de riso argentino
Nem a de beijo flamengo
Nem a fã no seu afã
Nem as bonecas do tempo
Nem o poeta ordinário
Nem literato de prêmio
Eu tenho o mesmo segredo
Dos malditos solitários
Ninguém sabe a natureza
Dos meus infernos diários

Where does our love lie? 
In the middle of nowhere 
Will it soon pass me by? 
In the middle of nowhere 

Baby, won't you tell me 
What am I to do? 
I'm in the middle of nowhere 
Getting nowhere with you 

Mmm, where did my heart land? 
In the middle of nowhere 
Where are the dreams I planned? 
In the middle of nowhere 

Listen to me baby 
Listen to my plea 
I'm in the middle of nowhere 
And it's worrying me 

Over and over again 
You tell me you need my love 
If what you say is true 
Why can't we be together? 

Over and over you tell me 
I'm all that you're thinking of 
Baby you know that I love you 
But I can't wait forever 

Where does our love lie? 
In the middle of nowhere 
How can you let it die? 
In the middle of nowhere 

Are you gonna leave me? 
Leave my heart astray 
I'm in the middle of nowhere 
Come and show me the way 

Over and over again 
You tell me you need my love 
Baby you know that I love you 
But I can't wait forever 

Where does our love lie? 
In the middle of nowhere 
How can you let it die? 
In the middle of nowhere 

Are you gonna leave me 
And leave my heart astray 
I'm in the middle of nowhere 
Come and show me the way 

Hey, where does our love lie? 
Come on now 
Where does our love lie? 
Right slap in the middle of nowhere
Right slap in the middle of nowhere
Right slap in the middle of nowhere

and multiple other artists



In the middle of an island 
In the middle of the ocean 
You and I beneath the moonlight 
With just the monkeys and the palm trees 

In the middle of an island 
When it's time to do some kissin' 
Plenty time for lotsa lovin' 
And walkin' barefoot in the sand 

Though there's no island at all 
Just a picture on my wall 
My darlin', how I wish we could be 
(I wish that we could be) 

In the middle of an island 
In the middle of the ocean 
You and I forever, darlin' 
In a paradise for two (in a paradise for two) 

Though there's no island at all 
Just a picture on my wall 
My darlin', how I wish we could be 
(I wish that we could be) 

In the middle of an island 
In the middle of the ocean 
You and I forever, darlin' 
In a paradise for two 
(In the middle of the ocean on an island kissin' you)

Nature Of The Game
Composer(s): Christopher Cross
Performer(s): Christopher Cross



Taking my time
Walking the line
For someone who doesn't care
Taking my time
Just walking the line
For someone who's never there

It's a fool's game -- that I know
Nothing but a broken heart to show
And I know I'll never change 
It's the nature of the game

She loves me -- she loves me not
Remember how your heart used to stop
As the petals would hit the floor
How you wished there could be just one more

In The Merry Merry Month Of May (aka Barbara Allen)
(Traditional)



Was in the merry month of May
When flowers were a bloomin'
Sweet William on his death-bed lay
For the love of Barbara Allen

Slowly, slowly she got up
And slowly she went nigh him
And all she said when she got there
"Young man, I think you're dying"

"O yes, I'm sick and very low
And death is on me dwellin'
No better shall I ever be
If I don't get Barbara Allen"

"Don't you remember the other day
When you were in the tavern
I toasted all the ladies there
And slighted Barbara Allen?"

"O yes, I remember the other day
When we were in the Tavern
I toasted all the ladies there
Gave my love to Barbara Allen"

He turned his pale face to the wall
And death was on him dwellin'
"Adieu, Adieu, my kind friends all
Be kind to Barbara Allen"
As she was walkin' through the fields
She heard the death bells knelling
And every toll they seemed to say
"Hard-hearted Barbara Allen"

She looked east, she looked west
She saw his corpse a-comin'
"Lay down, lay down the corpse" she said
"And let me gaze upon him"

"O mother, mother make my bed
O make it long and narrow
Sweet William died for me today
I'll die for him tomorrow"

Sweet William died on a Saturday night
And Barbara died on Sunday
Her mother died for the love of both
And was buried Easter Monday

They buried Willie in the old church yard
And Barbara there anigh him
And out of his grave grew a red, red rose
And out of hers, a briar

They grew and grew in the old churchyard
Till they couldn't grow no higher
They lapped and tied in a true love's knot
The rose ran around the briar

Nature Boy

Performer(s): Nat King Cole;
and various other artists



There was a boy
A very strange enchanted boy
They say he wandered very far, very far
Over land and sea
A little shy and sad of eye
But very wise was he

And then one day
A magic day he passed my way
And while we spoke of many things
Fools and kings
This he said to me
"The greatest thing you'll ever learn
Is just to love and be loved in return"

(instrumental break)

"The greatest thing you'll ever learn
Is just to love and be loved in return"

Some day baby, gonna hit on you
And together we will live life through
But in the meantime I'm such a lean time
You have a hard time
Because I wanna live it up this way
That's why I gotta change my style you say
Give up my gals and wine

So you can see, I'm gonna need some loving in the meantime
I'm gonna need some catching in the meantime
I'm gonna be a meantime man

Oh pretty baby, I've always been like this hell
No one to chain me
But if you love me like I think you do
You're gonna understand I'm gonna change for you
Give up my gals and wine

So you can see, I'm gonna need some loving in the meantime
I'm gonna need some catching in the meantime
I'm gonna be a meantime man

So now I know

Just change my style
But you better know me, why

Although I never show it
Don't tell me we're through

It won't be long before we're hand in hand
And I give up my gals and wine

So you can see, I'm gonna need some loving in the meantime
I'm gonna need some catching in the meantime

Don't tell me we're through

It won't be long before we're hand in hand
And I give up my gals and wine

So you can see, I'm gonna need some loving in the meantime
I'm gonna need some catching in the meantime
I'm gonna be a meantime man

I'll see you in the meantime
You have a hard time 

Naturally Stoned
Composer(s): Chuck Woolery
Performer(s): Avante Garde; Helmut Zacharias



It seems the days we spent together
All too quickly faded away 
And even now my lonely mind
Is full of thoughts of yesterday 
The say grow up 
Put your mind on what you have to do
But I know I can never 
Make it baby, without you

I can feel a good vibration
When I put my mind on you alone
I can get a good sensation 
Feel like I'm naturally stoned
Naturally stoned

And now they say it's time for me
To face the troubled world alone
There's just one thing 
They do not seem to understand
Why can't they get it through their heads
I need a helping hand

I can feel a good vibration
When I put my mind on you alone
I can get a good sensation 
Feel like I'm naturally stoned
Naturally stoned

And if you feel that you can't go on, and your will's sinkin' low
Just believe and you can't go wrong
In the light you will find the road, you will find the road
Oh, did you ever believe that I could leave you, standing out in the cold
I know how it feels 'cause I have slipped through to the very depths of my soul
I just wanna show what I'd give you it is from every bend in the road
Now listen to me
Oh, whoa-whoa, as I was and really would be for you, too, honey
As you would for me, oh, I would share your load
Let me share your load, ooh, let me share, share your load
And if you feel that you can't go on
In the light you will find the road
Though the winds of change may blow around you, but that will always be so
When love is pain it can devour you, if you are never alone
I would share your load. I would share your load
Baby, let me, oh, let me
In the light
Everybody needs the light
In the light, in the light, in the light
Light, light, light, in the light
Light, light, light, in the light, ooh, yeah
Light, light, light, in the light

Said she came from Memphis 
You can look but please don't touch 
Didn't like rock and rollers 
Seemed a bit much too much

Cause it's the natural thing, feelin' the star 
The Natural blood starts to flow 
Yeah, the natural thing, got up a star 
Then she'll never let you go 

Hey girl, now does it feel allright 
Think I'm gettin' through
Don't you think the band's real tight 
Wait till we start to move
May sound funny but you gave it to me
I didn't even like it
May sound funny but you gave it to me
And now I got to live without it

I been down to Atlanta
Got to move my feet
Gettin' down before the last call 
With every star she meets

In The Land Of Beginning Again (Where Broken Dreams Come True)
Composer(s): Grant Clarke; George W. Meyer
Performer(s): Charles Harrison
and multiple other artists



There's a land of beginning again
Where skies are always blue
Though we've made mistakes, that's true
Let's forget the past and start life anew
Though we wandered by a river of tears
Where sunshine won't come through
Let's find that paradise where sorrow can't live
And learn the teachings of forget and forgive
In the land of beginning again
Where broken dreams come true

There's a land of beginning again
Where skies are always blue
Though we've made mistakes, that's true
Let's forget the past and start life anew
Though we wander by a river of tears
Where sunshine won't come through
Let's find that paradise where sorrow can't live
And learn the teachings of forget and forgive
In the land of beginning again
Where broken dreams come true

There's a land of beginning again
Sometimes there're tears behind a sunny smile
Some hearts hold sorrow for a long, long while
If we could only forget
Think how much further we'd get
And though our hearts are filled with sadness
We'll see the sunshine yet

Don't ever feel that ev'ry hope is gone
It's always darkest just before the dawn
Just try a smile through the tears
Some day you'll laugh at your fears
And though your life is filled with shadows
They'll fade through future years

There's a land of beginning again

Natural Sinner

Amen Corner; Andy Fairweather-Low



Na na na na ...

Sometimes I feel too old to work, too young to die
but I'll drink wine and whisky, I'll keep smoking 'till I die
I wear a suit of sadness made by experience
for I believe that in the end time will heal what men can’t mend

Chorus

I'm a natural sinner, born a sinner's son
Evil's been my motto, distrust everyone
I'm a natural sinner, born a sinner's son
Evil's been my motto, distrust everyone

Big men with small mind now, they're not hard to find
Now they ain’t got no good side, it plain greed that covers up what’s inside
Now ride the confusion, withhold your trust
Struck with your own hand when you think the cause is just

Chorus

Na na na na ...

There's a place that you never can trace in Geography
come on with me, come on and see
if you haven't been there I'm sure you'll declare 
that you ought to be it's so much like old Napoli

Wine and song are flowing along like a melody
in Napoli, come on with me
the girls are fair and everything there is in harmony
It's the one place on Earth to be

In the land o' Yamo, Yamo, Funiculi, Funiculi, Funicula
Lights are blinking, while you're drinking
it's the place where the goodfellows are
Good bye to all your sorrows, you never hear them talk about war
in the land of Yamo, Yamo, Funiculi, Funiculi, Funicula

There's a natural
mystic
Blowing through
the air
If you listen
carefully now you will hear
This could be the
first trumpet
Might as well be
the last
Many more will
have to suffer
Many more will
have to die
Don't ask me why
Things are not the
way they used to be
I won't tell no
lie
One and all got to
face reality now

Though I try to
find the answer
To all the
questions they ask
Though I know it's
impossible
To go living
through the past
Don't tell no lie
There's a natural
mystic
Blowing through
the air
Can't keep them
down
If you listen
carefully now you will hear
Such a natural
mystic
Blowing through
the air

This could be the
first trumpet
Might as well be
the last
Many more will
have to suffer
Many more will
have to die
Don't ask me why
There's a natural
mystic
Blowing through
the air
I won't tell no
lie
If you listen
carefully now, you will hear

In The Jailhouse Now
(Traditional)
First release by: Jimmie Rodgers - 1928

I had a friend named Ramblin Bob 
He used to steal gamble and rob 
He thought he was the smartest guy around 
Well I found out last Monday that Bob got locked up Sunday 
They've got him in the jailhouse way downtown 

He's in the jailhouse now 
He's in the jailhouse now 
Well, I told him once or twice to stop playin' cards and shootin' dice 
He's in the jailhouse now 

Bob liked to play his poker 
Pinochle whist and euchre 
But shootin dice was his favorite game 
He got throw'd in jail with nobody to go his bail 
The judge done said that he refused to the fine 

He's in the jailhouse now 
He's in the jailhouse now 
Well, I told him once or twice to stop playin' cards and shootin' dice 
He's in the jailhouse now 

Well I went out last Tuesday 
I met a girl named Suzie 
I said I was the swellest guy around 
Well we got to spendin' my money
And she started to callin' me honey 
We took in every cabaret in town 
We're in the jailhouse now 

We're in the jailhouse now 
We're in the jailhouse now 
Well I told that judge right to his face
I don't like to see this place 
We're in the jailhouse now

Why do I keep my mind on you all the time
And I don´t even know you
Why do I feel this way
Thinking about you every day
And I don´t even know you
Take me in your arms
Thrill me with all of your charms
And I´ll take to the sky on a natural high
Loving you more till the day I die
Take to the sky on a natural high
Loving you more

If you have anything to do
Call me and I will do it for you
And I don´t even know you
If I had only one wish to give
That wish would be for you to live forever and ever

When I see you on the street
My heart skips a beat
And I´ll take to the sky on a natural high
Loving you more till the day I die
Take to the sky on a natural high
Loving you more.

I´m gonna try to do
All the things you want me to
If you´ll just give me a chance
I´m trying to make something out of a nothing romance
And I don´t even know you

Take me in your arms
Thrill me with all of your charms
And I´ll take to the sky on a natural high
Loving you more till the day I die
