I knew I was captured
By the rhythm of the magic flute
Pulling and urging me
To taste the forbidden fruit
Tho' I felt naive
I did not want to leave
Fever was in the air
All of a sudden, I didn't care
No reason why, I just had to testify

You Be You (But Let Me Be Me)
Composer(s): Seger Ellis
Performer(s): Nat King Cole; Louis Jordan



You be you and do whatever you want to
You be you, but let me be me

Run your life and live however you want to
Run your life, but leave mine to me

You can't pull no rabbits
Out of nobody's hat
Tryin' to change my habits
Would take a lot more magic than that

So let me be and be yourself if you want me
You be you, but let me be me
Or baby, there won't be no you and me

Rock Star's Lament
Composer(s): Shel Silverstein - Fred Koller
Performer(s): Bobby Bare



I have pawned my golden records I have sold my sequent suits
For a bottle of rye whiskey I gave up my fancy boots
Now I stand here on the corner with a sad sad tale to tell
Once a rock star now a drunker with no song left to sell

Hide a face you might remember hide a voice you may recall
T' was that cold night in December when we played Carnegie Hall
Now we're smokin' marijuana singin' flat but doin' well
Till I took my first drink of whiskey we started down the road to hell

I have pawned my golden records I have sold my sequent suits
For a bottle of rye whiskey I gave up my fancy boots
Now I stand here on the corner with a sad sad tale to tell
Once a dopefiend now a drunker with no song left to sell

Once a rock star now a drunker with no song left to sell
With no song left to sell...

Performer(s): George Strait

I come and go as I please
From down here, up north and in between
But baby it's a shame, 'cause I always feel the same
When I can't see Texas from here

I can't see Texas from here
No matter how I try, it makes me wanna die
So if you see me looking down, I'm trying not to show this frown
'Cause I can't see Texas from here

I can't say I don't like Tennessee
The people here have all been good to me
So please don't take offense if start to get intense
It's just 'cause I can't see Texas from here

I can't see Texas from here
No matter how I try, it makes me wanna die
So if you see me looking down, I'm trying not to show this frown
'Cause I can't see Texas from here

You Asked Me To
Composer(s): Waylon Jennings; Billy Joe Shaver
Performer(s): Waylon Jennings; Elvis Presley;
Billy Joe Shaver; Nancy Griffith; 
John Hartford; Alison Krauss




Long ago and far away
In my old common labour shoes
I turned the world all which-a-way
Just because you asked me to

Likened to no other feel'
Summer love is simple true
There's no end to what I'd do
Just because you asked me to

Let the world call me a fool
But if things are right with me and you
That's all that matters and I'll do
Anything you ask me to

Knowin' how much I love you
After all I've been through
I'd turn and walk away from you
Just because you asked me to

Let the world call me a fool
But if things are right with me and you
That's all that matters and I'll do
Anything you ask me to

Let the world call me a fool
But if things are right with me and you
That's all that matters and I'll do
Anything you ask me to

Blame It On Mexico
Composer(s): Darrel Steadtler
Performer(s): George Strait
and multiple other artists



In a bar in Acuna called Ma Crosby's
I found myself not feeling any pain
I told a 'Frisco girl I'd come for freedom
She said she'd only come to catch a train
We struck up some idle conversation
Traded all the troubles on our minds
One thing lead to another in the evening
And I fell in love again for my last time

Blame it on Mexico if you need a reason
Say too much guitar music, tequila, salt and lime
Blame it on Mexico, but she's the reason
That I fell in love again for my last time

Daylight dawned and found me in Del Rio
In a rundown motel room as dark as hell
I felt all the pains of a morning after
And all alone as far as I could tell

Why she left I have no way of knowing
I guess she caught her train and that's a crime
She took everything I ever wanted
And I fell in love again for my last time

Blame it on Mexico if you need a reason
Say too much guitar music, tequila, salt and lime
Blame it on Mexico, but she's the reason
That I fell in love again for my last time

You Are Too Beautiful
Composer(s): Richard Rogers; Lorenz Hart
Performer(s): David Whitfield;
and various other artists



You are too beautiful, my dear, to be true
And I am a fool for beauty
Fooled by a feeling that because I have found you
I could have bound you too
You are too beautiful for one man alone
For one lucky fool to be with
When there are other men
With eyes of their own to see with

Love does not stand sharing
Not if one cares
Have you been comparing
My every kiss with theirs
If, on the other hand, I’m faithful to you
It’s not through a sense of duty
You are too beautiful
And I am a fool for beauty

You are too beautiful 
And I am a fool for beauty

You can shake an apple off an apple tree
Shake, shake, sugar but you'll never shake me

Uh uh ooh yes siree ooh ooh

Because I'm stuck on you

Yea, I'm gonna run my fingers through your long black hair
Squeeze you tighter than a grizzly bear

Uh uh ooh yes siree ooh ooh
I'm gonna to stick like glue
Because I'm stuck on you

Hide in the kitchen, hide in the hall
Ain't gonna do you no good at all
'Cause once I catch you and the kissing starts
A team of wild horses couldn't tear us apart

Try to take a tiger from his daddy's side
That's how our love is going to keep us tied

Uh uh ooh yes siree ooh ooh
I'm gonna to stick like glue
Because I'm stuck on you

Hide in the kitchen, hide in the hall
Ain't gonna do you no good at all
'Cause once I catch you and the kissing starts

I'm gonna to stick like glue
Because I'm stuck on you

I'm gonna to stick like glue, ooh, ooh
Because I'm stuck on you

You Are The Woman
Composer(s): Rick Roberts
Performer(s): Firefall; Josh Kelley



You are the woman that I've always dreamed of
I knew it from the start
I saw your face and that's the last I've seen of my heart

It's not so much the things you say to me
It's not the things you do
It's how I feel each time you're close to me
That keeps me close to you, woh oh

You are the woman that I've always dreamed of
I knew it from the start
I saw your face and that's the last I've seen of my heart

It's not so much your pretty face I see
It's not the clothes you wear
It's more that special way you look at me
That always keeps me there, woh oh woh

You are the woman that I've always dreamed of
I knew it from the start
I saw your face and that's the last I've seen of my heart

It's hard to tell you all the love I'm feeling
That's just not my style
You've got a way to send my senses reeling
Every time you smile, woh oh

You are the woman that I've always dreamed of
I knew it from the start
I saw your face and that's the last I've seen of my heart
I saw your face and that's the last I've seen of my heart

Of my heart
Oh oh of my heart

Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday - 1975



Sur le trottoir d'en face
Je la vois passer
Elle mange une glace
Et elle n'est pas pressée
Oh oh oh! Elle me sourit... Oh oh oh!
Pour une fille comme ça
Moi, je suis comme un fou
Moulée dans un t-shirt
Et un vieux jean usé
Elle a des yeux noisette
Et ses cheveux sont dorés
Oh oh oh! Elle me sourit... Oh oh oh!
Pour une fille comme ça
Moi, je suis comme un fou
Elle a des hanches à faire rêver
Et son t-shirt ne peut rien cacher
Tout ce que j'ai, si elle veut je lui donne
Ouais, mais contre son numéro de téléphone
Oh oui, mais elle me fait un signe
Un geste de la main
C'est pour moi, elle m'appelle
Salut les copains
Oh oh oh! Elle me sourit... Oh oh oui!
Pour une fille comme ça, hum oui
Moi, je suis comme un fou
Elle a des hanches à faire rêver
Et son t-shirt ne peut rien cacher
Tout ce que j'ai, si elle veut je lui donne
Ouais, mais contre son numéro de téléphone
Oh oui, mais un taxi s'arrête
Elle monte et elle s'en va
Le signe de la main ce n'était pas pour moi
Oh oh oh! J'ai tout compris... Oh oh oui!
Alors je reste là
Oh oui, et je suis comme un fou
Oh oui, et je suis comme un fou
Oh oui, et je suis comme un fou

You are the sunshine of my life
That's why I'll always be around
You are the apple of my eye
Forever you'll stay in my heart

I feel like this is the beginning
Though I've loved you for a million years
And if I thought our love was ending
I'd find myself drowning in my own tears
Who-o-o-o Who-o-o-o

You are the sunshine of my life
That's why I'll always stay around
You are the apple of my eye
Forever you'll stay in my heart

You must have known that I was lonely
Because you came to my rescue
And I know that this must be heaven
How could so much love be inside of you

Covered by multiple other artists



Well I don't know why I came here tonight
I got the feeling that something ain't right
I'm so scared in case I'll fall off my chair
And I'm wondering how I'll get down the stairs
Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right, here I am
Stuck in the middle with you

Yes I'm stuck in the middle with you
And I'm wondering what it is I should do
It's so hard to keep this smile from my face
Losing control yeah, I'm all over the place
Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right, here I am
Stuck in the middle with you

Well you started off with nothing
And you're proud that you're a self-made man
And your friends they all come crawling
Slap you on the back and say
Please, please

Try to make some sense of it all
But I can see it makes no sense at all
Is it cruel to go to sleep on the floor
Yeah I don't think that I can take anymore
Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right, here I am
Stuck in the middle with you

And you started off with nothing
And you're proud that you're a self-made man
And your friends they all come crawling
Slap you on the back and say
Please, please

Yeah I don't know why I came here tonight
I got the feeling that something ain't right
I'm so scared in case I'll fall off my chair
And I'm wondering how I'll get down the stairs
Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right, here I am
Stuck in the middle with you

Yes I'm stuck in the middle with you
Stuck in the middle with you
Here I am stuck in the middle with you

You Are The Only Song
Performer(s): Harry Chapin



Oh, I've sung it all tonight
Almost ev'ry story that I know
And now when they turn out those spotlights
Ya' know, I'm never sure, where I'm s'posed to go

And I get so hoarse that I can't hit the high notes
It's just a whisper, way down low
But when... you sing from the inside
Ya' know ya' hope that something shows......

And that... is... why....
Yes, you are the only song, the only song I need
You're my laughter, and you're my lonely song
You're the harvest; yes you're the seed
And you're my first and my final song
For you own me indeed
Oh yes, oh yes
Yes, after all is said and done
You're the one song that I need

I have sung my songs to silence
To empty clubs and crowded bars
I've even sung my songs to standing rooms
And I'll sing 'em, I'll sing 'em, to the stars
And all the faces, they all fade together
The applause, it's gone so fast
And the story of every darkened stage
Is that this glory, this glory will not last

And that... is... why....
Yes after all is said and done
You're the one song that I need

Ik weet niet wat het is maar ik zweef
het voelt zowat alsof ik herleef
men voeten komen weer van de grond
ik wist niet dat zoiets nog bestond

links van de hemel
rechts van de hel
middenin
zit ik gevangen met jou

ik weet niet wat het is maar ik beef
ik twijfel of ik nog om je geef
als je vraagt of ik wil leven met jou
dan zweet ik en dan krijg ik het koud

want links zie ik de hemel
recht zie ik de hel
middenin
zit ik gevangen met jou

ja waar ben ik aan begonnen
waar ben ik toch al weer beland
ik had beter iets verzonnen
toen je in mijn ogen keek en zei
please
please

ik weet niet waar ik heen moet gaan
ik probeer het allemaal te verstaan
is het groener aan de andere kant
spreekt mijn hart
of spreekt alweer mijn verstand

links van de hemel
rechts van de hel
middenin
zit ik gevangen met jou

ja waar ben ik aan begonnen
waar ben ik toch al weer beland
ik had beter iets verzonnen
toen je in mijn ogen keek en zei
please
please

ik weet niet wat het is maar ik zweef
toch twijfel ik of ik om je geef
sla ik af of ga ik even rechtdoor
komt het goed of ga ik hier onderdoor

dicht bij de hemel
dichter bij de hel
middenin
zit ik gevangen met jou

ik zit gevangen met jou
ik zit gevangen met jou
ik zit gevangen met jou

You Are The New Day
Composer(s): John David
Performer(s): Airwaves; King's Singers; 
The Searchers; Seattle Men's Chorus



I will love you more than me
and more than yesterday
If you can but prove to me
you are the new day

Send the sun in time for dawn
Let the birds all hail the morning
Love of life will urge me say
you are the new day

When I lay me down at night
knowing we must pay
Thoughts occur that this night might
stay yesterday

Thoughts that we as humans small
could slow worlds and end it all
lie around me where they fall
before the new day

One more day when time is running out
for everyone
Like a breath I knew would come I reach for
the new day

Hope is my philosophy
Just needs days in which to be
Love of life means hope for me
borne on a new day

You are the new day

Wrapped in a manger
On Christmas morning
Singing in a temple
Talking with the elders
Tomorrow there's wisdom

Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen
Hallelujah
Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen
Down at the Jordan
John was baptizing
And saving all sinners
See him at the seaside
Talking with the fishermen
And made them disciples

Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen
Keep on pushin' now
Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen
Hallelujah now

and various other artists



At last I meet you face to face
The ideal of my dreams
I've waited to behold you, dear
For years and years 'twould seems

And now you've come to live, to breathe
From out the mystic night
My burning heart, my very soul
Cries out in all it's might

I love you, I love you, I love you
You are the ideal of my dreams
I always knew, t'would be someone like you
I've loved you forever it seems

For years in my mind's fondest fancy
A picture of your face I drew
And I knew you somehow
When I met you just know
You are the ideal of my dreams

Somehow I feel you can't be real
You'll vanish like the mist
Before I hold you in my arms
Before your lips I've kissed

But no, you speak, you really live
Warm blood through your veins flows
Come nestle to my throbbing breast
I want the world to know

I love you, I love you, I love you
You are the ideal of my dreams
I always knew, t'would be someone like you
I've loved you forever it seems

For years in my mind's fondest fancy
A picture of your face I drew
And I knew you somehow
When I met you just know
You are the ideal of my dreams

Amen

Non io non so perché
Ma c'è una brutta bestia dentro di me
Che mi butta giù, ogni giorno vado sempre più giù
Io lo so cos'è quel pezzo di cervello che
che ancora lì, lì con me
Nella testa e non si muove più
Non io non voglio, voglio darlo via
Voglio in cambio una TV
La metto in fondo al letto di casa mia
Così poi non ci penso più

Non io non so perché
Ma c'è un'altra brutta bestia dentro di me
Che mi strozza se...se mi vieni ancora in mente te
Io lo so cos'è quel pezzo del mio cuore che
È ancora lì...lì con me
E ogni tanto batte senza un perché
No, io non voglio, voglio darlo via
Voglio in cambio un'altra TV
La metto a fianco a me nel letto di casa mia
Gli dico "baby mi vuoi bene anche tu"
Così io sento che c'è rimasto poco dentro di me
Una palla e via, l'altra ho perso la scommessa
E non so più dov'è

Ma adesso non parlare, non parlare
Devi solo stare zitto, devi stare ad ascoltare
E quindi non pensare, non pensare
Dove sei Ruby....Ruby
Ma adesso non parlare, non parlare
Devi solo stare zitto, devi stare ad ascoltare
E quindi non pensare, non pensare
Dove sei Ruby....Ruby

Sono diventato una TV
Adesso son perfetto non mi muovo più
Mi accendo e poi mi spengo non reagisco più
Hey ti stai spegnendo anche tu

Io lo so cos'è
E stan cercando di fregare anche te
Non fidarti mai
Siam seduti sopra un cesso prima o poi cadrai
Io lo so cos'è
E stan cercando di fregare anche te
Non fidarti mai
Siam seduti sopra un cesso prima o poi cadrai...
