A New Fangled Tango
Composer(s): Matt Dubey - Harold Karr
Performer(s): Ethel Merman
and multiple other artists



Everybody's mambo crazy
Cha-cha happy, but I'm lazy
I don't dig that frantic turpsichord

When I trip the light fantastic
I don't wanna be gymnastic
That's not what a dancing floor is for

What I got in mind is a big improvement
With a very minimum amount of movement
Let the other couples push and shove
What I got in mind I think you're gonna love

I got a new-fangled tango
And there's nothing to it
You just sort of stand there
And just sort of do it

You stand close together
There's no wasted motion
A new fangled tango
An old fashioned motion

The floor may be crowded
But that doesn't matter
It's not necessary to move
Don't move, why move

It may be crowded
But that's all the better
It's just like romancing, while dancing
Who's dancin'

You start off with one step
And cling to each other
And you know how one step
Can lead to another

Oh, there's nothing wrong with
A waltz or fandango
But oh, what can come from
A new fangled tango

You cling to your partner
And sway to the rhythm
You can't lose your partner
'Cause you're right there with him

You don't have to be worry
About fast or slow steps
The nice part about it
In this dance, you don't need steps

You don't have to worry
If your dancing won't do
It's not what you do do
It's more what you don't do

You don't need a waltz
Or a fancy fandango
You just need a man
And a new fangled tango

Forget the fandango
Give up the mambo
Do the tango

(dickey-doo-oo-oo) (locka-day-ay)

How the time flies
When I'm near you
When I'm near you
How the time flies

Seems like heaven
When I'm near you
When I'm near you
How the time flies

Wonder why when we're alone
The hours always pass so fast
A kiss or two and then you're gone
Gee, the time just doesn't last

If the night would never pass
And the sun would never rise
Not one moment would we waste
But, darling, how the time, it flies

How the time flies
When I'm near you
When I'm near you
How the ti-i-i-ime flies

(dickey-doo-oo-oo-oo) (dickey-doo-oo-oo-oo)
(dickey-doo-oo-oo) (locka-day-ay)

How the time flies
When I'm near you
When I'm near you
How the ti-i-i-ime flies

(How the ti-ime flies)

A New England
Composer(s): Billy Bragg
First release by: Billy Bragg - 1983
Covered by multiple other artists



I was twenty-one years when I wrote this song
I'm twenty-two now, but I won't be for long
People ask me when will I grow up to understand
Why the girls I knew at school are already pushing prams

I loved you then as I love you still
Though I put you on a pedestal, you put me on the pill
I don't feel bad about letting you go
I just feel sad about letting you know

I don't want to change the world
I'm not looking for a new england
Are you looking for another girl

I loved the words you wrote to me
But that was bloody yesterday
I can't survive on what you send
Every time you need a friend

I saw two shooting stars last night
I wished on them, but they were only satellites
It's wrong to wish on space hardware
I wish, I wish, I wish you'd care

I don't want to change the world
I'm not looking for a new england
Are you looking for another girl

My dreams were full of strange ideas
My mind was set despite the fears
But other things got in the way
I never asked that boy to stay

Once upon a time at home
I sat beside the telephone
Waiting for someone to pull me through
When at last it didn't ring, I knew it wasn't you

I don't want to change the world
I'm not looking for a new england
Are you looking for another girl

How Sweet You Are
Composer(s): Frank Loesser; Arthur Schwartz
Performer(s): Geraldo & His Orch.;
and various other artists



How sweet you are 
How sweet you are
How dear your tenderly smiling face
Through days all bitter and gray and grim
Through nights when even the stars are dim
How sweet to know my heart can glow
From just the warmth of our first embrace
The world’s a lovelier place by far
When I remember how sweet you are

How sweet to know my heart can glow
From just the warmth of our first embrace
The world’s a lovelier place by far
When I remember how sweet you are
When I remember how sweet you are

A New Day Yesterday
Composer(s): Ian Anderson
Performer(s): Jethro Tull



My first and last time with you
and we had some fun
Went walking through the trees, yeah!
And then I kissed you once
Oh I want to see you soon
but I wonder how
It was a new day yesterday
but it's an old day now

Spent a long time looking
for a game to play
My luck should be so bad now
to turn out this way
Oh I had to leave today
just when I thought I'd found you
It was a new day yesterday
But it's an old day now

How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved By You)
Composer(s): Lamont Dozier; B. Holland; Eddie Holland
Performer(s): James Taylor



How sweet it is to be loved by you
How sweet it is to be loved by you 

I needed the shelter of someone's arms and there you were 
I needed someone to understand my ups and downs and there you were 
With sweet love and devotion 
Deeply touching my emotion 
I want to stop and thank you baby 
I just want to stop and thank you baby 

How sweet it is to be loved by you 
How sweet it is to be loved by you 

I close my eyes at night
Wondering where would I be without you in my life 
Everything I did was just a bore
Everywhere I went it seems I'd been there before 
But you brighten up for me all of my days 
With a love so sweet in so many ways 
I want to stop and thank you baby 
I just want to stop and thank you baby 

How sweet it is to be loved by you 
How sweet it is to be loved by you 

You were better for me than I was for myself 
For me, there's you and there ain't nobody else 
I want to stop and thank you baby 
I just want to stop and thank you baby 

How sweet it is to be loved by you 
How sweet it is to be loved by you

Marion Michael Morrison
Composer(s): C.W. Kalb Jr.
Performer(s): Ray Stevens



He was born in the little farming town of Winterset
On The New Frontier, a mid-west native son
But his star would shine as bright as any star can ever get
And he would Cast A Giant Shadow before he was done

Tall In The Saddle, he went to Reap The Wild Wind
In Old California and across the Rio Grande
From Stagecoach on The Big Trail to Rio Bravo and back again
He rode on Wings Of Eagles, this Quiet Man

Here's to you, Marion Michael Morrison
Here's to you for all our battles that you fought and won
A true American hero, a straight-shootin' son-of-a-gun
Here's to you, Marion Michael Morrison

Singin' Sandy, Sergeant Stryker, McLintock and McQ
Katie's Elder Son and Big Jim McLean
Brannigan and Rooster, Hondo and Big Jake
Yeah, we knew him by a hundred different names

On the Sands Of Iwo Jima, Back To Bataan
The Flying Tigers and The Green Berets
He was with The Fighting Seabees and ev'ry American fighting man
At The Alamo and on that Longest Day

And here's to you, Marion Michael Morrison
Here's to you for all our battles that you fought and won
A true American hero, a straight-shootin' son-of-a-gun
Here's to you, Marion Michael Morrison

There might be a few who would dare to say
The star you hung might fade away
But I can hear you tell 'em
"Pilgrim, that'll be the day"

Here's to you, Marion Michael Morrison
Here's to you for all our battles that you fought and won
A true American hero, a straight-shootin' son-of-a-gun
Here's to you, Marion Michael Morrison

Here's to you, Marion Michael Morrison

How Soon? (Will I Be Seeing You)
Composer(s): Carroll Lucas; Jack Owens
Performer(s): Bing Crosby;
and various other artists



How soon will I be seeing you?
How soon?
I wish I really knew
And when will you be saying words I want to hear?
Tender little love words story old, meaning clear

How soon will I be close to you?
And dance the way we used to do
I see your star eyes gleaming
Don't mind me if I'm dreaming
Tell me, darling, now
How soon?

A New Day
Composer(s): Killing Joke
Performer(s): Killing Joke



You
You wake up to a new day
Forwards
We move towards a new way oh
Come with me
Gather with your torches
Singing
Dance by night we all are strong

A new day....oh, a new day
A new way...oh, a new way
Somewhere the sun shines in the east
A new day....oh, a new day

Touch me
Tell me I'm still human
And wild
We'll run until we run ??run long??
Our bodies talk, words are lost
Hand in hand we follow
All around
A man becomes the people

A new day....oh, a new day
A new way...oh, a new way
Somewhere the sun shines in the east
A new day....oh, a new day

You
You caught me in your spell
Hypnotized
You touched me and now I'm ??gone??
Conflict
Every day the same
Wishing
Wishing we could see the way

A new day....oh, a new day
A new way...oh, a new way
Somewhere the sun shines in the east
A new day....oh, a new day

We watch the sun rise in the east
A new day....oh, a new day
A new day....oh, a new day
A new day....oh, a new day
A new day....oh, a new day

How Soon   
Composer(s): Al Stillman; Henry Mancini
Performer(s): Henry Mancini;
and various other artists



How soon the flame of love can die
How soon "goodnight" becomes "goodbye"

You're gone now, and life goes on now
And ev'rything seems out of tune
But time can bring a change of heart
And love can make another start
Someday, you may come back to me to stay
But who can say how soon?

A Needle In A Haystack
Composer(s): Con Conrad - Herb Magidson
Performer(s): Fred Astaire



It's just like looking for a needle in a haystack
Searching for a moonbeam in the blue
Still I've got to find you

It's just like looking for a raindrop in the ocean
Searching for a dewdrop in the dew
Still I've got to find you

I'll roam the town in hope that we'll meet
Look at each face I pass on the street
Sometimes I feel the beat of your feet
But it's just my imagination

Though it's like looking for a needle in a haystack
Still I'll follow everything you do
'Cause I've got to find you

How Sad Venice Can Be ((aka Venice In Blue (Bobby Darin) - 1965))
((Adapted from: Que C'est Triste Venise (Charles Aznavour) - 1964))
Composer(s): Charles Aznavour - Françoise Dorin
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour - 1965

Versions In Other Languages:

1965 - Venecia Sin Ti (Charles Aznavour)
1965 - É Tão Triste Veneza (Agnaldo Timóteo)
1970 - Com'è Triste Venezia (Charles Aznavour)



How sad Venice can be 
When you return alone 
A fond memory 
In every paving stone 

I walk among the birds 
That fill San Marco's Square 
With echoes of her words 
Around me in the air 

How sad Venice can be 
When mandolins play 
A song she sung for me 
One unforgotten day 

Like images of sleep 
The gondoliers go by 
But when I try to weep 
I find my tears are dry 

How sad Venice can be 
When mist is in your eyes 
And you can hardly see 
As pigeons fill the skies 

I find the little street 
And then the old cafe 
Where we would always meet 
To dream away the day 

How sad Venice can be 
Beneath the silent moon 
That rises from the sea 
And silvers the lagoon 

I hear the vespers chime 
And cross the Bridge of Sighs 
I know that it is time 
To bid my last goodbye 

There's nothing more to say 
I pass beneath the light 
And then I turn away 
From Venice in the night 

How sad Venice can be 
It's too lonely to bear 
When you have lost the love 
That you discovered there

(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman
Composer(s): Carole King - Gerald Wexler - Gerry Goffin
First release by: Aretha Franklin - 1967
Covered by multiple other artists



Looking out on the morning rain
I used to feel uninspired
And when I knew I had to face another day
Lord, it made me feel so tired
Before the day I met you, life was so unkind
But your love was the key to peace my mind

'Cause you make me feel, you make me feel, you make me feel like
A natural woman

When my soul was in the lost-and-found
You came along to claim it
I didn't know just what was wrong with me
Till your kiss helped me name it
Now I'm no longer doubtful of what I'm living for
'Cause if I make you happy I don't need no more

Oh, baby, what you've done to me
You make me feel so good inside
And I just want to be close to you
You make me feel so alive 

How Much Tequila (Did I Drink Last Night?)
Composer(s): Steve Goodman; John Prine
Performer(s): Steve Goodman



How much tequila did I drink last night?
It's really anybody's guess
I poured them so fast, I couldn't keep them in the glass
But this morning I sure am a mess
My head is four or five times its normal size
And I got this big old cactus stuck between my eyes
I can't recall a single thing I did or said
Or the names of all these people sleeping in this bed
Tell me how, tell me how, tell me how, tell me how
Tell me how much tequila did I drink last night?

How did I get these cuts and bruises all over my body?
I must have fallen down somehow
I believe it had something to do with karate
It's all coming back to me now
I was standing in a bar with King Kong's cousin
He must have been seven foot three
His elbow gave me a bump, and so I said "Hey, chump
Would you like to step outside with me?"
Tell me how, tell me how, tell me how, tell me how
Tell me how much tequila did I drink last night?

My mouth is filled with cotton and my brain is sore
I left last night's dinner on this morning's floor
My stomach is swollen and my eyeballs shrunk
I drank so much that my hair got drunk

I see a big old worm about ten feet long
Hallucinating purple cows
Somebody moved the furniture while I was gone
Uh oh, this is not my house
I could call us a taxi on the telephone
If I only knew where we are
I guess I'm gonna have to drive myself back home
As soon as I can find the car
Tell me how, tell me how, tell me how, tell me how
Tell me how much tequila did I drink last night?

A Natural Man
Composer(s): Sandy Baron - Bobby Hebb
Performer(s): Lou Rawls



You know, there was a time when, if someone told you to do somethin', you did it 
Bam! Right on!
No questions asked 
It was "Yes, sir" and "Yes, mam" 
You never said no
You know? Huh
But, you know, things are changing nowadays 
It's a new day, babies 
Folks want to take their own lives into their hands and make their own choices
No longer do they wanna go along with the program 'cause everybody say it's right 
You know what I mean?
Let me tell ya what I'm talkin' about, ya see, 'cause...

I don't want no gold watch for workin' fifty years from nine till five
A-while the boss is guzzling champagne and I'm beltin' beer in some dive

'Cause I want to be happy and free
Livin' and loving for me
I want to be happy and free
Livin' and lovin' for me
Like a natural man (like a natural man)
A natural man (like a natural man)

Well now, I refuse to listen to people's thinkin' that I live too high
I'm gonna taste it now before my one life streaks on by

'Cause I want to be happy and free
Livin' and lovin' for me
I want to be happy and free
Livin' and lovin' for me
Just like a natural man (like a natural man)
I said a natural man (just like a natural man)

Well now, I tried to do what others say that I should do
They say that I should fit in, fool 'em, fake it, well
Those kinda dues just make me crazy and blue
Man, I just can't take it

So when ya see me walkin', won't ya notice that proud look in my eyes
My feet are on the ground and my soul is searchin' for the sky

'Cause I want to be happy and free
Livin' and lovin' for me
I want to be happy and free
Livin' and lovin' for me
Just like a natural man (just like a natural man)
A natural man (just like a natural man)
Just like a natural man (just like a natural man)
My feet are on the ground (just like a natural man)
My soul is searchin' for the sky (just like a natural man)
Like a natural man (just like a natural man)
No more "Yes, sir" (just like a natural man)
No more "Yes, mam" (just like a natural man)
Huh, 'cause I'm a natural man (just like a natural man)
I'm a natural man (just like a natural man) 

How Much I've Lied
Composer(s): Gram Parsons; Pam Rifkin
Performer(s): Elvis Costello;
and various other artists



Darling, there is one thing I must tell you, you must know
It's so hard to say the words I feel
This fancy that I'm on's been going on too long
It's time to stop pretending things are real
'Cause I've been living deep in sin, I've been living blind
And I just don't know what's right or wrong
To take a chance on losing you is such a silly thing to do
A chance I might wake up and find you gone

Blue, so blue, my love is burning blue
Any private flame could be a lie
Blue, so blue, my love still burns for you
But I know I'll only make you cry

A thief can only steal from you
He cannot break your heart
He can never touch the precious things inside
Someone like you should surely be
Miles and miles away from me
Then you'd never care how much I've lied
So try to understand the pain
It takes so long when I explain
Please don't you forget how much I've lied
How much I've lied

A National Acrobat
((Latin Version: Funambulus Domesticus (by Rondellus) - 2002))
Composer(s): Tony Iommi - Ozzy Osbourne - Geezer Butler - Bill Ward
First release by: Black Sabbath - 1973



I am the world that hides
The universal secret of all time
Destruction of the empty spaces
Is my one and only crime
I've lived a thousand times
I found out what it means to be believed
The thoughts and images
The unborn child that never was conceived

When little worlds collide
I'm trapped inside my embryonic cell
And flashing memories
Are cast into the never ending well
The name that scorns the face
The child that never sees the cause of man
The deathly darkness that
Belies the fate of those who never ran

Well I know its hard for you
To know the reason why
And I know you'll understand
More when it's time to die
Don't believe the life you have
Will be the only one
You have to let your body sleep
To let your soul live on

Love has given life to you
And now it's your concern
Unseen eyes of inner life
Will make your soul return
Still I look but not to touch
The seeds of life are sown
Curtain of the future falls
The secret stays unknown

Just remember love is life
And hate is living death
Treat your life for what it's worth
And live for every breath
Looking back I've lived and learned
But now I'm wondering
Here I wait and only guess
What this next life will bring

(How Much Is) That Doggie In The Window?
Composer(s): Bob Merrill
Performer(s): Patti Page



How much is that doggie in the window? (arf! arf!)
The one with the waggley tail
How much is that doggie in the window? (arf! arf!)
I do hope that doggie's for sale

I must take a trip to California
And leave my poor sweetheart alone
If he has a dog, he won't be lonesome
And the doggie will have a good home

How much is that doggie in the window? (arf! arf!)
The one with the waggley tail
How much is that doggie in the window? (arf! arf!)
I do hope that doggie's for sale

I read in the paper there are robbers (woof! woof!)
With flashlights that shine in the dark
My love needs a doggie to protect him
And scare them away with one bark

I don't want a bunny or a kitty
I don't want a parrot that talks
I don't want a bowl of little fishies
He can't take a goldfish for a walk

How much is that doggie in the window? (arf! arf!)
The one with the waggley tail
How much is that doggie in the window? (arf! arf!)
I do hope that doggie's for sale
I do hope that doggie's for sale

Sum mundus continens
secretum hoc aetatum omnium
Inana toca destruebam 
cuius ego certe reus

Hie vixi mitlies
Invent quid sit esse somnia
vei simulacra, puer
qui numquam natus nec conceptus est

Collapsis mundis sum
constrictus embryonica in mea
Memoriae carae
funduntur infinito puteo

Non habet faciem
puer numquam natus, numquam tiens vir
Mortales tenebrae
obducunt fata non currentium

Tu erode mihi nunc
cum sermocinor
Tibi est difficile
vet scire causas has

Credo te capturam plus
cum moritura es
Mum praesentem vitam tuam
tu credis unicam?

Nunc moriatur corpus tuum
ut vivat animus
Velimne, ut audias?
Ut cogam vel te?

Amor fecit vivam te
Nunc vitam cura tu
Haec internae vitae vis
tuum reddet animum

Ego specto, tangens nil
Cum semen sertum est
Clara nunc futura sunt
Secretum manet clam

Amor, sci, est vitae sors
est ira quidem rnors
Vitam aestima luam
his bonis nunc truens

Retro spectans multum scio
Sed nunc admiror, heus
et exspecto, quaercns me
Quid vita nova fert?

How Much I Feel
Composer(s): David Pack
First release by: Ambrosia - 1978
Covered by multiple other artists



Well I don't know how this whole business started
Of you thinkin' that I have been untrue
But if you think that we'd be better parted
It's gonna hurt me, but I'll break away from you
Well just give me the sign and I will be gone
Yeah....
That's how much I feel (Feel for you baby)
How much I need (I need your touch)
How much I live (I live for your lovin')
That's how much
That's how much
That's how much
That's how much
Ooh
Sleep alone and late at night I'm dreamin'
Of the togetherness that seems to be leavin' me
Oh no!
I'd give it all and then I'd give some more
If you would only love me like you had before
Oh, take hold of my hand
And all will be forgiven
That's how much I feel (Feel for you baby)
How much I need (I need your touch)
How much I live (I live for your lovin')
That's how much
That's how much
That's how much
That's how much
So you try (Try to stay in the middle)
And then you cry (Well you cry just a little)
Then we both realise (Just how foolish you may have been)
Ooh, and you try to make amends
But your better off as friends
'Cause that's how much
That's how much
That's how much
That's how much
Ooh...
How's your life been goin' on?
I got a wife now, years we've been going strong
Oh no!
There's just something that I got to say
Sometimes when we make love
I still see your face
Ooh...
Just try to recall when we were as one
Yeah...
That's how much I feel (Feel for you baby)
How much I need (I need your touch)
How much I live (I live for your lovin')
That's how much
That's how much...
