A Free Thinker Composer(s): Laura Nyro Performer(s): Laura Nyro
You don't have your own You're livin' thru others Toss and turn at night but you play it demure and what's more you don't think you've got the right to be a free thinker You could give yourself the right You could shine your special light
Are you a consumer A mere number on a supermarket line? wear a perfect mask and never show your feelings maybe you can make the time To be a free thinker You could find your own style You may feel more alive
Do you ever wonder Can we save our planet and where will it go in time? White hawks destroy And healers send joy back to the starry nite line for a free thinker with some individuality you may find you feel more free
A Four-Legged Friend Composer(s): Jack Brooks Performer(s): Roy Rogers and multiple other artists
A four-legged friend, a four-legged friend He'll never let you down He's honest and faithful right up to the end That wonderful one-two-three-four-legged friend
A woman's like cactus and cactus can hurt 'Cause she's just a tight-waisted winky-eyed flirt She'll soon have your land and your pride and your gold And bury you deep long before you grow old
A four-legged friend, a four-legged friend He'll never let you down He's honest and faithful right up to the end That wonderful one-two-three-four-legged friend
A two legged hombre is worthless as sand He'll smile like a saint with a gun in his hand He'll promise to stick by your side like a pal But he'll also promise the same to your gal
A four-legged friend, a four-legged friend He'll never let you down He's honest and faithful right up to the end That wonderful one-two-three-four-legged friend
Who carries your burden, who carries your load On tumbleweed land or a long dusty road Who asks you no questions, who tells you no lies That four-legged friend with the two honest eyes
A four-legged friend, a four-legged friend He'll never let you down He's honest and faithful right up to the end That wonderful four-legged friend
A Foto Da Capa Composer(s): Chico Buarque Performer(s): Chico Buarque
O retrato do artista quando moço Não é promissora, cândida pintura É a figura do larápio rastaqüera Numa foto que não era para capa Uma pose para câmera tão dura Cujo foco toda lírica solapa
Era rala a luz naquele calabouço Do talento a clarabóia se tampara E o poeta que ele sempre se soubera Claramente não mirava algum futuro Via o tira da sinistra que rosnara E o fotógrafo frontal batendo a chapa
É uma foto que não era para capa Era a mera contracara, a face obscura O retrato da paúra quando o cara Se prepara para dar a cara a tapa
You're All Woman Composer(s): Clarke; Vale; Hicks Performer(s): The Hollies
I'm uptight, gotta give a little slow down, take my time Ease up, learn to relax a little So close, so close I'm shakin', shakin' with expectation Breathless, outta time Lips dry, feels like my heart is burstin' So close, so close
Smooth as silk but sharp as a knife Hotter than hell but cooler than ice Hard as steel but soft with your touch Take luck to the limit but don't ask too much You're all woman, you're all woman You're all woman So close, so close To losing my mind
Panic, I'm on the verge of breakdown Half crazed, lost control, need you to kill my affection So close, so close Helpless, holding out for rescue Gunned down, one more time Breakthrough, gotta try to reach you So close, so close
chorus
Woman, woman
Hard as steel but soft with your touch Take luck to the limit but don't ask too much You're all woman, you're all woman You're all woman So close, so close To losing my woman Woman, you're all woman So close, so close To losing my woman You're all woman, you're all woman
A Fool's Fantasy Composer(s): Goldy McJohn Performer(s): Steppenwolf
Slip away with me Let our ears be free Live a life of love There's no need to care Sharin' it together Whatcha got to lose? In love and life, it's all you get It's easy to choose
There's a way for love We can make it work There's a way for love A fool's fantasy Is that so much to ask for? Everything we're dreamed about Could be ours forevermore
Take a chance on freedom Come take a chance on me We'll drown ourselves in pleasure Just happy to be Without inhibitions and nothing to fear We'll while away the summer sun Nibblin' on an ear

Everywhere that beauty glows, you are Everywhere an orchid grows, you are Everything that's young and gay, brighter than a holiday Everywhere the angels fly, you are
You're like Paris in April and May You're New York on a silvery day A Swiss alp as the sun grows fainter You're Loch Lomond when Autumn is the painter
You're moonlight on a night in Capri And Cape Cod looking out at the sea You're all places that leave me breathless And no wonder you're all the world to me
You're Lake Como when dawn is a glow You're Sun Valley right after a snow A museum, a Persian palace You're my shining Aurora Borealis
You're like Christmas at home by a tree The blue calm of a tropical sea You're all places that leave me breathless And no wonder, you're all the world to me

Look at the light coming over me Show me a man who's gentle and kind And Ill show you a loser Now, show me a man who takes what he wants Ohhhhhhhhh how exciting Ohhhhhhhhh how exciting So the poet sings
When youre a fool in love And nothing goes the way you plan And no one cares and no one understands That youre a fool and youre in love Never another spring for you, Never a robin to sing for you, Youre out there on your own When youre a fool in love
When youre a fool in love Seems like the skies are always grey You turn around there's someone in your way And its you, and youre in love Sometimes you think that your luck has changed And a rainbow explodes cross the sky But when youre a fool in love Youll be a fool til the day you die

A Fond Kiss (Traditional) Performer(s): The Voice Squad
A fond kiss, and then we sever A farewell, and then forever! Deep in heart-wrung tears I'll pledge thee Warring sighs and groans I'll wage thee Who shall say that Fortune grieves him While the star of hope she leaves him? Me, nae cheerfu' twinkle lights me Dark despair around benights me I'll ne'er blame my partial fancy Nothing could resist my Nancy But to see her was to love her Love but her, and love forever Had we never lov'd say kindly Had we never lov'd say blindly Never met -- or never parted -- We had ne'er been broken-hearted Fare thee well, thou first and fairest! Fare thee well, thou best and dearest! Thine be like a joy and treasure Peace. enjoyment, love, and pleasure! A fond kiss, and then we sever A farewell, alas, forever! Deep in heart-wrung tears I'll pledge thee Warring sighs and groans I'll wage thee!
