She Finally Spoke Spanish To Me Composer(s): Butch Hancock Performer(s): Joe Ely
Waiting for the train to France I hung my head in shame Feeling for all purposes like a man without a name Adios that's all she said I knew it had to be But she Finally Spoke Spanish to Me
Life just passed by on the sly I tried to live mine over It's been a cold dark lonesome night On the White Cliffs of Dover Adios that's all she said It echoed across the sea But She Finally Spoke Spanish to Me
Wine and dreams She blew the candle out I came to her for something I went away without Adios, that word will always haunt my memory But She Finally Spoke Spanish to Me
I left my boots in Italy Souls wore out in Spain I left my guns in London Town Just smokin' in the rain
Adios that's all she said I knew it had to be But She Finally Spoke Spanish to Me But She Finally Spoke Spanish to Me
Wine and dreams She blew the candle out I came to her for something I went away without Adios, that word will always haunt my memory But She Finally Spoke Spanish to Me

My heart is a prisoner Of your warm embrace I can't help, can't help myself Nothing can take your place When you say sweet things to me I start trembling from head to feet
You're like Quicksand, quicksand, yeah Pulling me closer, closer A- just can't resist you A-just want to kiss you
You're like quicksand, yeah!
Oo-oo ooo ooo who-ooooh!
Quicksand, quicksand, yeah Sinking me deeper Sinking me deeper I just can't resist you I just want to kiss you
She Drives Me Crazy - 1988 (aka She Drives Like Crazy - 1989) Composer(s): Roland Gift; David Steele First release by: Fine Young Cannibals - 1988 Covered by multiple other artists
I can't stop the way I feel Things you do don't seem real Tell you what I got in mind 'cause we're runnin' out of time Won't you ever set me free? This waitin' 'rounds killin' me
She drives me crazy like no one else She drives me crazy and I can't help myself
I can't get any rest People say I'm obsessed Everything that's serious lasts But to me there's no surprise What I have, I knew was true Things go wrong, they always do
She drives me crazy Like no one else She drives me crazy And I can't help myself
I won't make it On my own No on likes, To be alone
She drives me crazy Like no one else She drives me crazy And I can't help myself
Uh huh huh
She drives me crazy Like no one else She drives me crazy And I can't help myself
Uh huh huh
She drives me crazy Like no one else She drives me crazy And I can't help myself
Quicksilver Composer(s): Edward Pola; Irving Taylor; George Wyle Performer(s): Bing Crosby & The Andrews Sisters; and various other artists
You're as hard to hold as quicksilver When you kiss and run away I dream you're mine and then as quick as quicksilver All my dreams are led astray
I keep chasing you till I'm facing you And embracing you with all your charms Then you slip through my fingers just like quicksilver Right into someone else's arms
Seems like I am havin' trouble with you And I don't know what I'm gonna do Seems like you're fickle, fickle as can be And your fickle ways have got me up a tree
You're as hard to hold as quicksilver When you kiss and run away I dream you're mine and then as quick as quicksilver All my dreams are led astray
I keep chasing you till I'm facing you And embracing you with all your charms Then you slip through my fingers just like quicksilver Right into someone else's arms
Then you slip through my fingers just like quicksilver Right into someone else's arms
She Drives Like Crazy (Adapted from: She Drives Me Crazy - 1988) Composer(s): Roland Gift; David Steele; "Weird Al" Yankovic Performer(s): "Weird Al" Yankovic - 1989
Where'd you learn how to steer You do eighty in second gear When you drive, I can't relax Got your license from Cracker Jacks You just hit another tree These fender benders are killin' me
She drives like crazy Like no one else She drives like crazy And I'm afraid for myself
They'll put you behind bars We're not playin' bumper cars Did a great figure eight In the middle of the interstate Tires squeal wherever we go Even hitchhikers just say no
She drives like crazy Her car's a mess She drives like crazy She's got a death wish I guess
She's a demon Behind the wheel Thinks she's drivin' The Batmobile
Burnin' rubber in school zones Runnin' over traffic cones Passin' "semi-"s on the right Now my knuckles are turnin' white
She drives like crazy She'll break our necks She drives like crazy She always gets into wrecks
She drives like crazy Like no one else She drives like crazy Now I'm afraid for myself
She drives like crazy Like no one else She drives like crazy And I'm afraid for myself
(Quicksilver Daydreams Of) Maria Composer(s): Townes Van Zandt Performer(s): Townes Van Zandt; Frenchy Burrito & The Folk Pistols
Well, the diamond fades quickly when matched to the face of Maria All the harps they sound empty when she lifts her lips to the sky the brown of her skin makes her hair seem a soft golden rainfall that spills from the mountains to the bottomless depths of her eyes
Well, she stands all around me her hands slowly sifting the sunshine all the laughter that linger down deep 'neath her smilin' is free Well, it spins and it twirls like a hummingbird lost in the morning and caresses the south wind and silently sails to the sea
Ah, the sculpter stands stricken and the artist he throws away his brushes when her image comes dancin' the sun she turns sullen with shame And the birds they go silent the wind stops his sad mournful singing when the trees of the forest start gently to whisper'in her name
So as softly she wanders I'll desperately follow her footsteps and I'll chase after shadows that offer a trace of her sight Ah, they promise eternally that she lays hidden within them but I find they've decieved me and sadly I bid them goodbye
So the serpent slides softly away with these moments of laughter and the the old washy woman has finish her cleanin' and gone but the bamboo hang heavy in the bondage of quicksilver daydreams and a lonely child longingly looks for a place to belong
She Don't Love You Composer(s): Berry Gordy Jr. Performer(s): Mary Wells
She may dress & she may pose She may strut in her fancy clothes But she don't love you No she don't love you No she don't love you like I do
Can't you see, can't you see that you are blind? Oh yeah It's really me, it's really me; you should be mine And I'm slowly but surely losing my mind
She may dress & she may pose She may strut in her fancy clothes But she don't know how to love you She don't know how to love you She don't know how to please you either, baby, like I do
You know it's true, you know it's true, you're just a fool, oh yeah To throw away, to throw away a love that's true But I'll carry on & I'll be around when she's gone
She may dress & she may pose She may strut in all those fancy clothes But she don't know how to love you No she don't love you She don't know how to love you like I do
(repeat): Oh you know she may She may dress & she may pose She may strut in her fancy clothes But she don't love you No she don't love you She don't know how to love you like I do
Ahhhh, ahhhh, ahhhh, ahhhh If you need a little lovin' She'll turn on the heat If you take a fall She'll put you back on your feet If you're all alone She's someone to meet If you need someone
She's a quicksilver girl A lover of the world She spreads her wings And she's free
She Don't Let Nobody (But Me) Composer(s): Dino Fekaris; Curtis Mayfield Performer(s): Curtis Mayfield
Other guys try to hold her hand Other guys want a one night stand They all stare when she's around I'm so proud how she puts them down She don't let nobody, no, no She don't let nobody Nobody but me
I don't worry 'cause we're so tight See each other 'most every night She let me have the master key That's why I kiss her explicitly She don't let nobody, no, no She don't let nobody Nobody but me
Some dudes, they think she's teasing They think she wants to play But she's so dog-gone pleasing And hey, that's just her way And no-one's gonna steal her She does what she wants to She only lets me feel her And then I know it's true
She don't let nobody, no, no She don't let nobody, no, no She don't let nobody, no, no She don't let nobody, no, no She don't let nobody, no, no She don't let nobody Nobody but me
In a day and age when you can't be sure I've got one with a love that's pure Guess you'd call her my lucky star She goes out, but she don't go far She don't let nobody, no, no She don't let nobody Nobody but me
Some dudes, they think she's teasing They think she wants to play But she's so dog-gone pleasing And hey, that's just her way And no-one's gonna steal her She does what she wants to She only lets me feel her And then I know it's true
She don't let nobody, no, no She don't let nobody, no, no She don't let nobody, no, no She don't let nobody, no, no She don't let nobody, no, no She don't let nobody Nobody but me

Quién, cuando ya no aliente silenciosamente, llegará hasta ti y como el olvido ya te habrá vencido le dirás querido al igual que a mí
Quién borrará mis huellas y encendiendo estrellas en la oscuridad abrirá balcones romperá crespones y pondrá canciones en tu soledad
Quién será mi revelo quién te va a convencer quién volverá de nuevo a reinar en tu ser
Quién cuando ya me ausente va a cruzar el puente que mande a cerrar y pondrá colores en tus sinsabores y te hará olvidar pronto mi pesar
Yo tengo el doble de tu edad más no me importa sucumbir a ver de cara la verdad del porvenir No vistas luto por mi amor pues no me gusta ser cruel y sé que nunca ese color le fue a tu piel
Quién cuando yo me vaya Llegará a tu playa un anochecer y pondrá su empeño en velarte el sueño y lo harás tu dueño casi sin querer
Quién besará tu pelo y en tu negro duelo te pondrá un clavel Ya diferente te verá la gente nueva y sonriente como un cascabel
Quién viene a suplicarme Quién dime dulce bien Quién trata de borrarme Quién amor en tu sien Quién por sustituirte y por destruirme sin contemplación romperá en pedazos todos nuestros lazos y sin compasión mi propio corazón
She Didn't Do Magic Composer(s): Kent LaVoie Performer(s): Lobo
Thumbing across Georgia I ran into Gloria She seemed like a mystic to me With a wave of her hand She could make you feel grand That was her mystery Now I'll admit she knew alot of tricks But so do lots of other chicks
She didn't do it like you can do magic She didn't do it to me She didn't do it like you can do it She didn't do magic to me
Hiking through Virginia I met Melinda She looked enchanting to see She said give me your arm And I'll show you my charms That was her sorcery I say it I will she had alot of skill But compared to you she was way down hill
Arriving in Cleveland I'm coming to see you Get you crystal ball out of the drawer Cause I can tell if you been using you spell And baby I know what for The magic you loaned was to bring me home And baby my love for you has grown
So you better do it like you can do magic You better do it to me 'Cause she didn't do it like you can do it She didn't do magic to me
Quién Composer(s): Miguel Gallardo Performer(s): Miguel Gallardo
Te encontré perdida allí, en aquel oscuro bar o es que ya no te acuerdas Compartí tu soledad, tu pasado y tu rencor y tú no te acuerdas Quién, dime quién te dio tanta comprensión Quién, dime a quién le dolía tu dolor Te ofrecí lo que yo soy, y en mi casa un lugar o es que ya no te acuerdas Repartimos nuestro amor, entre besos, noche y pan y tú no te acuerdas Quién, dime quién te dio tanta comprensión Quién, dime a quién le dolía tu dolor Quién, dime quién te ha pagado más que yo Quién, dime, dime quién aún, aún te espera... dime quién Quién
She Cried Composer(s): Greg Richards; Ted Daryll First release by: Jay & The Americans - 1962 Covered by multiple other artists
And when I told her I didn't love her anymore She cried (She cried) And when I told her Her kisses were not like before She cried (She cried)
I thought that our romance was over and done But to her it had just begun
And when I told her (Sha-la-la) Another girl had caught my eye (Sha-la-la-la, sha-la-la) She cried (She cried) And when I kissed her (Sha-la-la) A kiss that only meant goodbye (Sha-la-la-la, sha-la-la) She cried, she cried
(Sha-la-la-la, sha-la-la)
And when I told her (Sha-la-la) I didn't love her anymore (Sha-la-la-la, sha-la-la) She cried, she cried
Quién Eres Tú? Composer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute Performer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute
De qué espacio sideral desconocido de qué tiempo que ya fue o aún no ha sido de qué lluvia de planetas has caído proclamando un "aquí estoy porque he venido"... Que aunque no se trate de pedir permiso por pisar el mismo vértigo que piso no se apunta a un corazón sin previo aviso tan de pronto y disparando tan preciso... quién eres tú... Quién eres tú Prodigio o vudú... Quien eres tú ensueño o tabú... quién eres tú... Cuando ya no queda más que ese momento en que comienza a repetirse el argumento apareces de repente, con el cuento de que no hay historias... sólo sentimientos y me invades con palabras como besos inundándome con pájaros, los sesos Qué dificil intentar salir ilesos de esta magia en la que nos hallamos presos... Quién eres tú... Quién eres tú Prodigio o vudú... Quien eres tú ensueño o tabú... quién eres tú... te aseguro que no quiero hacerme el fuerte en todo caso me da pánico creerte... No sé si eres el presagio de la Suerte o, el contrario, vienes a darme la muerte pero seas agua turbia o aguanieve cómo no beber cuando me dices: "bebe"... que la sed se va apagando y es más breve al tiempo que pasan los años... y no llueve Quién eres tú... Quién eres tú Prodigio o vudú... Quien eres tú ensueño o tabú... quién eres tú...

Quién Fuera Composer(s): Silvio Rodríguez Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez; Issac Delgado
Estoy buscando una palabra en el umbral de tu misterio ¿Quién fuera Alí Ba-ba? ¿Quién fuera el mítico Simbad? ¿Quién fuera un poderoso sortilegio? ¿Quién fuera encantador?
Estoy buscando una escafandra al pie del mar de los delirios ¿Quién fuera Jacques Custeau? ¿Quién fuera Nemo el capitán? ¿Quién fuera el batiscafo de tu abismo? ¿Quién fuera explorador?
Corazón obscuro corazón con muros corazón que se esconde corazón que está donde corazón en fuga herido de dudas de amor
Estoy buscando melodía para tener como llamarte ¿Quién fuera ruiseñor? ¿Quién fuera Lennon y McCartney Sindo Garay, Violeta, Chico Buarque? ¿Quién fuera tu trovador?
Corazón obscuro corazón con muros corazón que se esconde corazón que está donde corazón en fuga herido de dudas de amor
She Can't Give It Away Composer(s): Curly Putman; Sonny Throckmorton Performer(s): Barbara Fairchild
She stands there in the doorway of a cheap hotel And both have seen their days At one time Southern beauty fill her eyes But now there's just a trace Sometimes, for almost nothing, she offers her love to passers-by She's an old and fading sunset that once lit up the whole Savannah sky
It's still there upon her lips In the movement of her hips And though she's twenty years past a lady Her love once was in demand It bought diamonds for her hands But now she can't give it away
In a big Chicago mansion lies a man with a woman he don't love But his thoughts go back to a pretty Georgia girl When all he had was not enough He remembers all the good times and the pleasures she gave him in the night God, he loved that woman that once lit up the whole Savannah sky
It's still there upon her lips In the movement of her hips And though she's twenty years past a lady Her love once was in demand It bought diamonds for her hands But now she can't give it away Now she can't give it away
Quién Hace Brillar El Sol Composer(s): Victor Heredia Performer(s): Victor Heredia
Dulce, dulce, dulce capullo de luz Rama encendida de amor ardiendo en mi corazón Eres tú la que hace brillar el sol En tu universo de niña navego cantando en un barco de azúcar y miel y eres de flores dorada princesa encantada que al viejo verano robé Dulce, dulce, dulce capullo de luz Rama encendida de amor ardiendo en mi corazón Eres tú la que hace brillar el sol
She Came In Through The Bathroom Window
Composer(s): John Lennon; Paul McCartney
Performer(s): The Beatles
and multiple other artists
She came in through the bathroom window
Protected by a silver spoon
But now she sucks her thumb and wanders
By the banks of her own lagoon
Didn't anybody tell her?
Didn't anybody see?
Sunday's on the phone to Monday
Tuesday's on the phone to me
She said she'd always been a dancer
She worked at 15 clubs a day
And though she thought I knew the answer
Well I knew what I could not say
And so I quit the police department
And got myself a steady job
And though she tried her best to help me
She could steal but she could not rob
Didn't anybody tell her?
Didn't anybody see?
Sunday's on the phone to Monday
Tuesday's on the phone to me
Oh yeah
Quién Lo Diría Composer(s): J.L. Ubiergo Performer(s): Fernando Ubiergo
Yo que presumí no ser igual que no creí sentir jamás el despertar del corazón eso que tú llamaste amor sincero Y tú que me enseñaste la verdad un beso en la soledad que me alumbraste como el sol te has olvidado que el amor es más que un te quiero
Quien lo diría Más parece una ironía el querer sentirte mía a cada momento Quién lo diría que esta absurda fantasía se está haciendo una agonía que quema por dentro a cada momento
Yo que presumí no ser igual que confundí la libertad que le hice caso a la razón me fui enredando en el amor sincero Y tu que me entregaste sin dudar algo más que una amistad que iluminaste mi canción te has olvidado que el amor es más que un te quiero
Quien lo diría mas parece una ironía el querer sentirte mía a cada momento Quien lo diría que esta absurda fantasía se está haciendo una agonía que quema por dentro a cada momento...
