Strange Face Of Love Composer(s): Tito Larriva Performer(s): Tito & Tarantula
Let go of your love Ride his pulse and you'll forget, slow down your time will come If not tonight, surely by the dawn Take it like a man, the strange face of love
A cat's eye, a lizard's tail The pentogram he bought from hell He stalks the night with no intent, his brow sweats for innocence Take it like a man, the strange face of love
Don't look back, don't look back, he's right on your trail Don't look back, don't look back, he's just a step away from hell Don't look back, don't look back into the strange face of love
The rain's soul makes killer cry He wants desparately to die But fast and still he forgets he's back on the streets with no regrets Just take it like a man, the strange face of love
Don't look back, don't look back, he's right on your trail Don't look back, don't look back, he's just a step away from hell Don't look back, don't look back into the strange face of love
Don't look back, don't look back, he's right on your trail Don't look back, don't look back, he's just a step away from hell Don't look back, don't look back into the strange face of love
The strange face of love (strange) face of love (strange)
Yesterday French Title: Je Croyais Composer(s): John Lennon; Paul McCartney Performer(s): The Beatles; and various other artists
Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away Now it looks as though they're here to stay Oh, I believe in yesterday Suddenly, I'm not half the man I used to be There's a shadow hanging over me Oh, yesterday came suddenly Why she had to go I don't know she wouldn't say I said something wrong, now I long for yesterday Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play Now I need a place to hide away Oh, I believe in yesterday Mm, mm, mm, mm, mm
Apricot Stone Composer(s): Armen Martirosyan - Karen Kavaleryan First performance by: Eva Rivas - 2010
Many, many years ago, when I was a little child Mama told me you should know our world is cruel and wild But to make your way through cold and heat Love is all that you need
I believed her every word, more than anything I heard But I was too scared to lose my fun I began to cry a lot and she gave me apricots Kisses of the earth, fruits of the sun
Apricot stone, hidden in my hand Given back to me from the motherland Apricot stone, I will drop it down in the frozen ground I'll just let it make its round
Apricot stone, hidden in my hand Given back to me from the motherland Apricot stone
Now I see the northern stars shining brightly in the storm And I've got an avatar of my love to keep me warm Now I'm not afraid of violent winds They may blow they can't win
May the winter stay away from my harvest night and day May God bless and keep my cherished fruit Grow my tree up to the sky, once I waved my home goodbye I just wanna go back to my roots
Apricot stone, hidden in my hand Given back to me from the motherland Apricot stone, I will drop it down in the frozen ground I'll just let it make its round
Apricot stone, hidden in my hand Given back to me from the motherland Apricot stone, hidden in my hand Given back to me from the motherland Apricot stone

Strange Days Composer(s): John Densmore - Robby Krieger - Ray Manzarek - Jim Morrison Performer(s): The Doors
Strange days have found us Strange days have tracked us down They're going to destroy Our casual joys We shall go on playing Or find a new town
Yeah!
Strange eyes fill strange rooms Voices will signal their tired end The hostess is grinning Her guests sleep from sinning Hear me talk of sin And you know this is it
Yeah!
Strange days have found us And through their strange hours We linger alone Bodies confused Memories misused As we run from the day To a strange night of stone

Yes! We Have No Bananas Composer(s): Frank Silver; Irving Cohn Performer(s): Billy Jones; and various other artists
There's a fruit store on our street It's run by a Greek. And he keeps good things to eat But you should hear him speak! When you ask him anything, he never answers "no" He just "yes"es you to death, and as he takes your dough He tells you "Yes, we have no bananas We have-a no bananas today We've string beans, and onions Cabbageses, and scallions, And all sorts of fruit and say We have an old fashioned to-mah-to A Long Island po-tah-to But yes, we have no bananas We have no bananas today"
Business got so good for him that he wrote home today "Send me Pete and Nick and Jim; I need help right away" When he got them in the store, there was fun, you bet Someone asked for "sparrow grass" and then the whole quartet All answered "Yes, we have no bananas We have-a no bananas today Just try those coconuts Those walnuts and doughnuts There ain't many nuts like they We'll sell you two kinds of red herring Dark brown, and ball-bearing But yes, we have no bananas We have no bananas today"
Yes, we are very sorry to inform you That we are entirely out of the fruit in question The afore-mentioned vegetable Bearing the cognomen "Banana" We might induce you to accept a substitute less desirable But that is not the policy at this internationally famous green grocery I should say not No no no no no no no But may we suggest that you sample our five o'clock tea Which we feel certain will tempt your pallet? However we regret that after a diligent search Of the premises By our entire staff We can positively affirm without fear of contradiction That our raspberries are delicious; really delicious Very delicious But we have no bananas today
Yes, we gotta no banana No banana We gotta no banana today I sella you no banana Hey, Marianna, you gotta no banana? Why this man, he no believe-a what I say Now whatta you want mister? You wanna buy twelve for a quarter? No? well, just a oneofadozen? I'm-a gonna calla my daughter Hey, Marianna You gotta piana Yes, banana, no No, yes, no bananas today We gotta no bananas Yes, we gotta no bananas today
