Snatching It Back Composer(s): Clarence Carter; George Jackson Performer(s): Clarence Carter and multiple other artists
How can I get your love When you keep on snatching it back Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me girl
How can I get your love When you keep on snatching it back That's what I wanna know right now girl
How you expect for me to get it When you keep on, doing like that
You want me, and I want you But you're afraid, that I won't be true I get your love, in the palm of my hand You change your mind, and snatch it back again
So tell me How can I get your love When you keep on snatching it back Oh, you wanna tell me now, girl
How can I get your love When you keep on snatching it back That's what I wanna know, I wanna know, I wanna know
How you expect for me to get it When you keep on, doing like that
Some other man, before my time Must have loved you, and left you behind
Now you're afraid, that I'll hurt you But I won't do anything, you don't want me to
So tell me How can I get your love When you keep on snatching it back Oh, I wanna know right now, right now girl
How can I get your love When you keep on snatching it back You don't have to do me like that, baby
I wanna do How can I get your love When you keep on snatching it back Oh you know I love you baby
How can I get your love When you keep on snatching it back ...
Well, I went for a drive in my pickup truck I picked up my girl, 'cause I wanted to Show her my gloves, 'cause she had on her mitts And I blushed brightly when she showed me her Perfume that she buys whenever Avon calls So I took off my pants, and I showed her my Polka-dot undies! My polka-dot undies!
Yeah, my polka-dot undies from Miracle Mart I said, "Look, be careful, I think I'm gonna Turn a sharp corner, and go up on the grass" She leaned out the window, and I thought I saw her Pointing to something that flashed by real quick She said, "Hey, look at that! It looks just like your Polka-dot undies!" Polka-dot undies!
Yeah, my polka-dot undies that I wear back-to-front She smiled and she said, "Have you seen my Brother's new car? The one that he stole?" Then she asked me to look up her Whole damn family, and I went into shock When I found out it was her sister who really liked Polka-dot undies! Polka-dot undies! Yeah!
Well, I took her out to dinner, but on one thing she was firm She'd swallow almost anything, except for Stories that her brother didn't like birds But hung around leather bars, and liked to eat Fish and chips, and he still sucked his thumb I said, "I don't mind!" And she kissed me on my Polka-dot undies! My polka-dot undies!
I kissed her softly, and I said, "I'll tell you what Let's roll up the windows, and I'll eat your Last bar of chocolate - the one that's in the parcel" She said, "No, no, no", and she called me a Taxi And I said, "I beg your pardon! But get me home real fast before I lose my Polka-dot undies!" Polka-dot undies!
The moral of this story, like a jewel it is gleamin' But you'll never find it in a glass of warm Milk or tea, 'cause it will not fit And you probably already think I am full of Vague innuendos and double-meanin' rhymes But I'll tell you that obscenity is all in your Polka-dot undies! Your polka-dot undies! Yeah, your edible undies! Your polka-dot undies! Yeah!
Enséñame a cantar Al salir de mi casa cuando iba a pasear Pensando en mis problemas con ganas de olvidar Me encontré a una niña sentada en el tal Tocando con un banjo cantando sin parar Enséñame a cantar enséñame a cantar Que tengo triste el corazón y necesito amar Enséñame a cantar enséñame a cantar Que tengo triste el corazón y necesito amar
(La la la la la la la la... la la la...) La la la la la la la la... la la la la la la la la... La la la la la la la la... la la la...

Enséñame a cantar enséñame a cantar Que tengo triste el corazón y necesito amar Enséñame a cantar enséñame a cantar Que tengo triste el corazón y necesito amar Enséñame a cantar enséñame a cantar Que tengo triste el corazón y necesito amar Enséñame a cantar enséñame a cantar Que tengo triste el corazón y necesito a... necesito a... necesito a... mar
Polk Salad Annie Composer(s): Tony Joe White Performer(s): Tony Joe White; and various other artists
Some of you all never been down South too much... I'm gonna tell you a little story, so you'll understand where I'm talking about Down there we have a plant that grows out in the woods and the fields and it looks something like a turnip green Everybody calls it Polk salad Now that's Polk salad Used to know a girl that lived down there and she'd go out in the evenings to pick a mess of it... Carry it home and cook it for supper, 'cause that's about all they had to eat But they did all right
Down in Louisiana Where the alligators grow so mean Lived a girl that I swear to the world Made the alligators look tame
Polk salad Annie 'Gators got your granny Everybody said it was a shame For the mama was working on the chain-gang What a mean, vicious woman
Everyday before suppertime She'd go down by the truck patch And pick her a mess of Polk salad And carry it home in a tote sack
Polk salad Annie 'Gators got you granny Everybody said it was a shame 'Cause the mama was working on the chain-gang Whoo, how wretched, despiteful, straight-razor totin' woman Lord have mercy
Sock a little Polk salad to me Yeah, you know what, yeah, yeah
Her daddy was a lazy and a no-count Claimed he had a bad back All her brothers were fit for Was stealing watermelons out of my truck patch
For once Polk salad Annie 'Gators got your granny Everybody said it was a shame For the mama was working on the chain-gang
Sock a little Polk salad to me You know I need a meal miss You sock a little Hey, hey, hey, yeah, yeah (Chic a bon, chic a bon, chic a bon bon bon bon Chic a bon, chic a bon, chic a bon bon bon bon) Sock a little Polk salad to me You know I need a meal miss Sock a little Polk salad to him You know I need a meal Chinc, chinc, chinc, chin, ling, ling ling

Snart Tystnar Musiken Composer(s): Tomas Ledin Performer(s): Tomas Ledin
Om du tror på det första ögonblicket Om du vågar lita på det Då finns det ingen anledning att gå ensam härifrån Tänk på det som hänt mellan oss ikväll
Snart tystnar musiken Vi kan gå långsamt genom stan Vi kan stanna till ibland Vi kan drunkna i varann Och om sanningen skall fram Jag vill att vi skall älska, inatt
Om du vågar lita på vad du känner Om du säkert vet att det är så Då får du inte tveka, du kan inte bara gå Efter vad som hänt mellan oss ikväll
Snart tystnar musiken Vi kan gå långsamt genom stan Vi kan stanna till ibland Vi kan drunkna i varann Och om sanningen skall fram Jag vill att vi skall älska, inatt
Det finns tillfällen i livet, Som aldrig kommer igen Man känner det på sig Av nån anledning vet man att det är så
Snart tystnar musiken Vi kan gå långsamt genom stan Vi kan stanna till ibland Vi kan drunkna i varann Och om sanningen skall fram Jag vill att vi skall älska
Snart tystnar musiken Vi kan gå långsamt genom stan Vi kan stanna till ibland Vi kan drunkna i varann Och om sanningen skall fram Jag vill att vi skall älska
Politician Composer(s): Pete Brown; Jack Bruce Performer(s): Cream
Hey now baby, get into my big black car Hey now baby, get into my big black car I want to just show you what my politics are
I'm a political man and I practice what I preach I'm a political man and I practice what I preach So don't deny me baby, not while you're in my reach
I support the left, though I'm leaning, leaning to the right I support the left, though I'm leaning to the right But I'm just not there when it's coming to a fight
Hey now baby, get into my big black car Hey now baby, get into my big black car I want to just show you what my politics are
I found a cigarette, circled with lipstick And the lingering of perfume in the room The look on his face, was priceless I don't think he expected me so soon I'm sure he's got, an innocent excuse
Except for the snapshot He doesn't know I've got (I've got! Uh-huh!) He almost pulled off the perfect lover's crime! Except for the snapshot That puts me on top (On top! Uh-huh!) He think he's got one on me But he hasn't seen, the snapshot
He says he bought the new car strictly for business And the new clothes match the new smile on his face The extra key on his chain, must be to the office Poor baby, leaving early, staying late He's got an alibi, for every move he makes
Except for the snapshot He doesn't know I've got (I've got! Uh-huh!) He almost pulled off the perfect lover's crime! Except for the snapshot That puts me on top (On top! Uh-huh!) He thinks he's got one on me But he hasn't seen, the snapshot
When he comes home tonight It'll be his surprise I had it blown up, life size! (Life size!) I'm not quite as foolish, as you thought I'd be I took everything
Including the snapshot He don't know I've got (I've got! Uh-huh!) He almost pulled off the perfect lover's crime! Except for the snapshot That puts me on top (On top! Uh-huh!) He thinks he's got one on me But he hasn't seen the snapshot
Except for the snapshot He don't know I've got (I've got! Uh-huh!) He almost pulled off the perfect lover's crime! Except for the snapshot That puts me on top (On top! Uh-huh!) He thinks he's got one on me But wait 'til he sees the snapshot!
Polichinelle Composer(s): Charles Dumont; Jacques Plante Performer(s): Edith Piaf; Ute Lemper
Tire les ficelles Tire les ficelles Ton polichinelle Te tendras les bras Tourne la baguette Et ta marionnette Penchera la tête Et te sourira Tant que tes doigts lestes Commandent mes gestes Tu te fous du reste Ça ne compte pas Tire les ficelles Et Polichinelle Aussitôt, fera Ce que tu voudras
Tire les ficelles Tire les ficelles Ton polichinelle Fera mille tours Te dira "Je t'aime" Cachera ses peines Cachera sa haine Sous les mots d'amour J'irai dans le monde Pour que toi, dans l'ombre Tu aies le triomphe Auquel tu as droit Ton polichinelle Fera tant de zèle Que, dès qu'on nous verra On t'applaudira
Sais-tu seulement Si j'ai un cur? Sais-tu seulement Si j'ai une âme? C'est pas prévu dans ton programme De prestidigitateur
Tire les ficelles Tire les ficelles De Polichinelle Mais prends garde à toi Car il est possible Que je me délivre Des fils invisibles Qui m'attachent à toi En brisant le charme Je retrouve une âme Je redeviens femme Je redeviens moi... Faut que t'en profites On se lasse vite Et le jour viendra Où ça cassera... Où ça cassera... Où ça cassera...

Polaroid De La Locura Ordinaria Performer(s): Fito Paez
bajo por el callejón en donde estaba el después vomito ese ron manchando la pared el sol le caí bien entrando en la avenida su vida no era mas su vida pero eso estaba okey
La veo cruzar cruzando un bosque la veo alejándose de mi
Sus tetas y sus dos hermanas tomaban un café me acuerdo de la mañana que me mostró su piel estabamos en un bar y se corto la cara vibraba como en un nirvana luego se hecho a correr
La veo cruzar cruzando un bosque la veo alejándose de mi
Pasábamos todo el día tirados en la cama el tiempo maldita daga lamiéndonos los pies brillaba era una perla y nunca hacia nada después dijo que me amaba y se hundió la gillete Sangro, sangro, sangro, y se reía como loca no he visto luz ni fuerza viva tan poderosa de todas ellas ella fue mi frase mas hermosa todo su cuerpo con espinas y a mi me siguen las moscas

Polar Bear Composer(s): Brian May; Tim Staffell Performer(s): Queen
In the bright shop window sits the polar bear Makes the children's eyes light up to see him there Amongst the tinsel he gives everyone a smile To see him as you'd see a star Love him from where you are He's not for, not for, not for sale Past an open window walks the pretty girl Does she see me at her feet it's hard to tell But if I ask her she might turn her smile away To see her as I'd see a star Love her from where you are She's not for, not for, not for sale I guess I'll learn to look Without a grasping hand Minor contentment wears a smile I love her from where I lie He's not for, not for, not for sale Not for sale
Smurferifabriken (aka Rallarpolka Från Västmanland) Composer(s): Nils Fläcke; Claes Vogel Performer(s): Agnetha Fältskog, Christian, Michael B. Tretow
Svarvarna snurrar och hammarna slår Det är kugghjul som rullar, det är skyttlar som går Oj, vad det virvlar av plankor och spik I vår stora Smuferifabrik
Där går en smurf som om ingenting hänt Och på foten där har han en hink med cement Visst kan det ofta bli kalabalik I vår stora Smuferifabrik
Ett, två, tre Vår idé Den blir nog succé
Vi ska snickra fällor vi Som Gargamell kan trilla i Han och hans hatt och hans elaka katt Ja då kan dom säkert hålla sig för skratt
Lata smurfen han står vakt Där han släpar runt med ett ynka plank Och när ingen annan ser Slår han spik med hammar'n upp och ner
Taljorna gnisslar och sågspånen yr Och i smedjan minsann där ligger glöden och pyr Kocksmurfen kan koka soppa på spik I vår stora Smuferifabrik
Smurfa dig hitåt med penslar och färg Så maskerar vi fällan till skogar och berg En burk i taget och ingen panik I vår stora Smuferifabrik
Ett, två, tre Vår idé Den blir nog succé
Vi ska snickra fällor vi Som Gargamell kan trilla i Han och hans hatt och hans elaka katt Ja då kan dom säkert hålla sig för skratt
Ja vi ska snickra fällor vi Som Gargamell kan trilla i Han och hans hatt och hans elaka katt Ja då kan dom säkert hålla sig för skratt
