First release by: Led Zeppelin - 1970
Covered by multiple other artists
Working from seven to eleven every night
It really makes my life a drag
I don't think that's right
Ive really, really been the best of fools
I did what I could
'cause I love you, baby
How I love you, darling
How I love you, baby
How I love you, girl, little girl
But baby, since Ive been loving you, yeah
I'm about to lose my worried mind, oh, yeah
Everybody trying to tell me
That you didn't mean me no good
Ive been trying, lord, let me tell you
Let me tell you I really did the best I could
Ive been working seven to eleven every night
It kinda makes my life a drag
Lord, you know it ain't right
Since Ive been loving you
I'm about to lose my worried mind
Said I've been crying
My tears they fell like rain
Don't you hear
Don't you hear them falling
Don't you hear
Don't you hear them falling
Do you remember, mama, when I knocked upon your door?
I said you had the nerve to tell me
You didn't want me no more
I open my front door hearing my back door slam
You must have one of them new fangled
New fangled back door man
Ive been working from seven, seven, seven
To eleven every night
It kinda makes my life a drag, a drag, drag
Ah, yeah, it makes a drag
Baby, since Ive been loving you
I'm about to lose
I'm about to lose, lose my worried mind
Pencil Neck Geek Composer(s): Pete Cicero; Martin Margulies Performer(s): Fred Blassie
Back when I was a kid, life was going swell Till something happened, blew every thing to hell That night my daddy stumbled in, all pale and weak Said "A woman up the block just gave birth to a geek"
Mom said, "Sell it to the circus, what the heck" Dad said, "Nope, this one's a pencil neck And if there's one thing lower than a side show freak It's a grit eatin', scum suckin', pencil neck geek"
You see if you take a pencil that won't hold lead Looks like a pipe cleaner attached to a head Add a buggy whip body with a brain that leaks You got yourself a grit eatin', pencil neck geek
(chorus) Pencil neck geek, grit eatin' freak scum suckin', pea head with a lousy physique He's a one man, no gut, loosing streak Nothin' but a pencil neck geek
Soon the geeks were poppin' up all over town You couldn't hardly sneeze without knockin' one down After a nice juicy steak, if you need a toothpick Just reach for a geek, they'll do the trick
One day we cut one up for fish bait Learned our lesson just a little bit late Soon as the geek hit the drink, the water turned red Next day, sure enough, all the fish were dead
chorus
Most any night you know where I can be found Yeah, stomping some geek's head into the ground So keep the faith 'cause in Blassie you can trust I won't give up 'til the last geek bites the dust
chorus
They say, "these geeks come a dime a dozen" I'm lookin' for the guy who's supplin' the dimes Its gonna be real hard times for all of these grit eatin' scum suckin' boot lickin' drop kickin' gut grindin' nail bitin' glue sniffin' scab pickin' butt scratchin' egg hatchin' sleezy smelly pepper bellied dirty, lousy, rotten, stinkin', freaks Nothing but a pencil neck geek
Mamma, jeg skal møte'n Kjell og han Arne nå i kveld Vi skal spleise til en reise på en gøyal karusell
Mamma, hvem skal jeg kjøre med først Kanskje Arne for han er jo størst? Ja, han denger opp Kjell hvis han drar i fletta mi Eller kaller meg popjenta si
Men når Arne og jeg tar en tur Blir han Kjell så forskrekkelig sur Så jeg tror det er best at vi kjører alle tre I en vogn som er stor nok til det
Mamma, jeg er forelsket i Kjell Klart jeg kjører med han likevel Når vi suser avsted skal han få en real klem Og så skal han få følge meg hjem
Stakkar Arne må stå der og se Men jeg kan ikke bry meg om det Jeg har sannelig nok med å tenke på meg selv Når jeg svever omkring med han Kjell
Når jeg svever omkring, når jeg svever omkring Når jeg svever i vår karusell
Penas Do Tiê Composer(s): Raimundo Fagner Performer(s): Raimundo Fagner
Vocês já viram lá na mata a cantoria Da passarada quando vai anoitecer E já ouviram o canto triste da araponga Anunciando que na terra vai chover Já experimentaram guabiraba bem madura Já viram as tardes quando vai anoitecer E já sentiram das planícies orvalhadas O cheiro doce da frutinhas muçambê Pois meu amor tem um pouquinho disso tudo Que tem na boca a cor das penas do tiê Quando ele canta os passarinhos ficam mudos Sabe quem é o meu amor, ele é você Você, você, você...
Since I Met You Baby Composer(s): Ivory Joe Hunter First release by: Ivory Joe Hunter - 1956 Covered by multiple other artists
Since I met you baby my whole life has changed Since I met you baby my whole life has changed All my friends tell me I'm not the same Let me tell you Since I met you baby, I'm a happy man Since I met you baby, looks like I'm a happy man
I'm gonna try and please you In every way that I can Let me tell you
I don't need nobody To tell my troubles to I don't need nobody To tell my troubles to
O, 'cause since I met you baby All I need is you And o, pretty baby You know I love you baby better than I do myself When I'm with you I don't need nobody else Love me in the morning you got to love me late at night Love me in the morning you got to love me late at night When you love me I hope everything is alright
Pelos Olhos Composer(s): Caetano Veloso Performer(s): Caetano Veloso
O Deus que mora na proximidade do haver avencas Esse Deus das avencas é a luz Saindo pelos olhos Da minha amiguinha O Deus mora na proximidade do avencas Esse Deus dos fetos Das plantas pequenas é a luz Saindo pelos olhos Da minha amiguinha linda Da minha amiguinha Da minha amiguinha Da minha amiguinha linda Da minha amiguinha Da minha amiguinha Da minha amiguinha linda
Not a leaf turns green, not a sky turns blue Not a blade of grass feels the morning dew Not one single child ever seems to laugh Since I loved you last
Not a sun comes out, not a drop of rain Not one single word that relieves the pain Not one cooling breeze, not one warming flame Since I loved you last
Not an ocean rolls, not a river flows Nothing ever moves, nothing ever grows But life's an empty stage, love has left the cast Since I loved you last
Since I loved you last, since I loved you last Not a day goes by I don't want you back No one else's heart could take up all my soul Since I loved you last
Since I loved you last, since I loved you last All I do is pray that you come back While I just go on living in the past Since I loved you last
Pelas Tabelas Composer(s): Chico Buarque Performer(s): Chico Buarque; Familia Roitman
Ando com minha cabeça já pelas tabelas Claro que ninguém se toca com minha aflição Quando vi todo mundo na rua de blusa amarela Eu achei que era ela puxando um cordão Dão oito horas e danço de blusa amarela Minha cabeça talvez faça as pazes assim Quando ouvi a cidade de noite batendo as panelas Eu pensei que era ela voltando pra mim Minha cabeça de noite batendo panelas Provavelmente não deixa a a cidade dormir Quando vi um bocado de gente descendo as favelas Eu achei que era o povo que vinha pedir A cabeça de um homem que olhava as favelas Minha cabeça rolando no Maracanã Quando eu vi a galera aplaudindo de pé as tabelas Eu jurei que era ela que vinha chegando Com minha cabeça já pelas tabelas Claro que ninguém se toca com minha aflição Quando vi todo mundo na rua de blusa amarela Eu achei que era ela puxando um cordão Dão oito horas e danço de blusa amarela Minha cabeça talvez faça as pazes assim Quando ouvi a cidade de noite batendo as panelas Eu pensei que era ela voltando pra mim Minha cabeça de noite batendo panelas Provavelmente não deixa a a cidade dormir Quando vi um bocado de gente descendo as favelas Eu achei que era o povo que vinha pedir A cabeça de um homem que olhava as favelas Minha cabeça rolando no Maracanã Quando eu vi a galera aplaudindo de pé as tabelas Eu jurei que era ela que vinha chegando Com minha cabeça já numa baixela Claro que ninguém se toca com minha aflição Quando vi tudo mundo na rua de blusa amarela Eu achei que era ela puxando um cordão

Walking The Streets In The Rain First performance by: Butch Moore - 1965
My poor heart feels like breaking 'Cause I'll never see you again Still, nobody knows I am crying 'Cause I'm walking the streets in the rain
My tears are mixed through the raindrops And I feel like I can't stand the pain Still, nobody knows I am crying 'Cause I'm walking the streets in the rain
I'm retracing your steps one by one We walk down the street for so long I can still see your face through my teardrops Cause the rain whispers softly, she's gone The tears of the rain will keep falling Till you bring back the sunshine again Still, nobody knows I am crying 'Cause I'm walking the streets in the rain
Still, nobody knows I am crying 'Cause I'm walking the streets in the rain

Since I Kissed My Baby Goodbye Composer(s): Cole Porter Performer(s): Fred Astaire & The Delta Rhythm Boys
Oh, what nights, glory be When my baby and me Used to ramble lovers' lane From sundown to dawn Then a voodoo, I guess Put the jinx on our happiness And the mockin'bird's refrain Is done dead and gone
Evenin' creepin' down the mountain Wakes up Mister Firefly Bullfrog, settin' there Starts a-croakin', but I don't care Since I kissed my baby goodbye South wind shakes the ole magnolia Moon-man light the dingy sky Stars start sprinklin' gold On the river, but still I'm cold Since I kissed my baby goodbye Since my baby and me Parted company I can't see what's the diff if I live or I die Oh Lawd, I'm takin' such a beatin' I'm no good, even cheatin' Since I kissed my baby goodbye

Qué Bueno, Qué Bueno Composer(s): Antonio Figueroa Egia First performance by: Conchita Bautista - 1965
Qué bueno, qué bueno, qué bueno! Saber que tú sientes lo mismo que yo ¡Qué bueno, qué bueno, qué bueno! Saber que estoy dentro de tu corazón ¡Qué bueno, qué bueno, qué bueno! Saber que es sincero el amor que me das ¡Qué bueno, qué bueno, qué bueno! Saber que me espera la felicidad
Las horas parecen siglos los días la eternidad Después cuando estoy contigo, el tiempo volando se va
Pero, ¡qué bueno, qué bueno, qué bueno! Saber que tus besos ya son para mí ¡Qué bueno, qué bueno, qué bueno! ¡Qué bueno el cariño que siento por ti! ¡Qué bueno, qué bueno, qué bueno! ¡Qué bueno el cariño que siento por ti!
¡Qué bueno, qué bueno, qué bueno! Saber que es sincero el amor que me das ¡Qué bueno, qué bueno, ay, qué bueno! Saber que me espera la felicidad

Peggy Gordon (Traditional) Performer(s): The Corrs
O Peggy Gordon, You are my darling Come sit you down upon my knee And tell to me the very reason Why I am slighted so by thee
I am so deep in love that I can't deny it My heart lies smothered in my breast But it's not for you to let the whole world know it A troubled mind can find no rest
I leaned myself on a cask of brandy It was my fancy, I do declare For when I'm drinking, I'm always thinking Wishing Peggy Gordon was there
I wished I was in a lonesome valley Where womankind cannot be found And the pretty little birds do change their voices And every moment a different sound
I wish I was away in Ingo Far away across the briny sea Sailing over deepest waters Where love nor care never trouble me
