A Quiet Place To Live Composer(s): Carole King Performer(s): Carole King
All I want is a quiet place to live WHere I can enjoy the fruits of my labor Read the paper And not have to cry out loud
In my mind I can see it crystal clear Sharing my dreams with the people around me Now they surround me ANd I'm just a part of the crowd
What will become of us What about the children What will they do to us next time around What will the amswer be What will it mean to me When are they gonna see we're underground Here underground
And all I want is a quiet place to live WHere I can be free in a world of my making Instead of taking what they decided to give I wouldn't want what they have-no If I could only find a quiet place to live
Hush, here comes a whizz bang Hush, here comes a whizz bang Now, you soldier men, get down those stairs Down in your dugouts and say your prayers Hush, here comes a whizz bang And it's making straight for you And you'll see all the wonders of no-man's-land If a whizz bang hits you
A Quien Pueda Interesar Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez
¿Cómo andan, hola, que tal? (a quien pueda interesar) ¿Cómo andan, hola, que tal? ¡soy feliz de regresar!
Ahora heme aquí entre ustedes en la vida otra vez Ahora heme aquí con un poco de agua fría en los pies Ya regresé y el que quiera puede ya sonreír el que quiera puede irse a llorar y al que quiera puede darle igual
Estoy hablando a quien pueda interesar pero ante todo tengo que ordenar mis cosas Es que he traído demasiados documentos sobre el mar es que he traído demasiada inspiración Estoy hablando a quien pueda interesar pero ante todo tengo que coger respiro He de llenarme nuevamente de las cosas, de la gente antes de hacerme aplaudir o censurar
¿Cómo andan, hola, que tal? (a quien pueda interesar) ¿Cómo andan, hola, que tal? ¡soy feliz de regresar!
Ahora heme aquí entre ustedes en la vida otra vez Ahora heme aquí con un poco de agua fría en los pies Ya regresé y el que quiera puede ya sonreír el que quiera puede irse a llorar y al que quiera puede darle igual
Estoy hablando a quien pueda interesar pero ante todo abrazo a mis amigos a alguna muchachita que se muestre amable en el saludo a la familia, a los vecinos y demás Estoy hablando a quien pueda interesar pero ante todo estoy besando el suelo Como se puede ver regreso con color en las mejillas - y si pudiera verse el alma habría más - Me regocija verlo todo junto otra vez para vivir un poco más allá para morir un poco más también
Estoy hablando a quien pueda interesar a-quien-pue-dain-te-re-sar

La Gente Me Señala, Me Apunta Con El Dedo Susurra A Mis Espaldas Y A Mi Me Importa Un Bledo ¿que Mas Me Da Si Soy Distinta A Ellos? No Soy De Nadie, No Tengo Dueño

Husbands And Wives Composer(s): Roger Miller Performer(s): Roger Miller; and various other artists
Two broken hearts, lonely, looking like houses Where nobody lives, Two people each having so much pride inside Neither side forgives. The angry words spoken in haste Such a waste of two lives It's my belief pride is the chief cause In the decline in the number of husbands and wives
A woman and a man, a man and a woman Some can, some can't and some can
Two broken hearts, lonely, looking like houses Where nobody lives Two people each having so much pride inside Neither side forgives The angry words spoken in haste Such a waste of two lives It's my belief pride is the chief 'cause In the decline in the number of husbands and wives

A Que No Te Vas Composer(s): Manuel Alejandro Performer(s): Raphael
A que no, a que no te vas A que no te atreves a marcharte para siempre Como juras que lo harás A que no te vas A que sigues aguantando aquí a mi lado Lo que tengas que aguantar A que no te atreves ni siquiera a abrir la puerta Por si yo no te reclamo y te tienes que marchar A que no te vas, a que no te vas A que no te vas, a que no, a que no A que no te vas A que no te vas A pesar de lo que sabes que yo hago A que no te vas Porque en realidad tu prefieres estas cartas que te he dado A quedarte sin jugar A que se te olvida en un momento lo que dices Y me besas como loca y me vuelves a besar A que no te vas, a que no te vas A que no te vas, a que no, a que no A que no, a que no te vas A que no te vas A que sigues como perro aquí a mi lado Hasta que te diga ya A que no te vas Porque vives por mi amor obsesionada Y no puedes renunciar Y aunque siga siendo como ahora y siempre he sido Como tú me has conocido porque no quiero cambiar A que no te vas, a que no te vas A que no te vas, a que no, a que no A que no te vas, a que no te vas
Hurt Me So Bad Composer(s): Billy Lawrie; Lulu; David Tyson Performer(s): Lulu
You hurt me so bad I was building a palace in my mind just for you and me I made you the centre of my world though you couldn't see I thought we'd walk together The road would run forever I can follow no further till I get commitment from you Whatchya gonna do? Oh baby What kind of answer is maybe? Oh, oh-oh-oh You hurt me so bad Oh baby Thought you were the last train to safety Oh, oh-oh-oh You hurt me so bad In this world of indifference I expected so much more from you But the more that I listen the less I believe is true I've got understanding Now my heart's commanding I can follow no further till I get an answer from you Whatchya gonna do? Oh baby...
A Purple Cow Composer(s): Fred Spielman - Paul Francis Webster Performer(s): Doris Day; Paul Weston & His Orch.
The very day the day we kissed I went to see my occulist The occulist said "I insist, it looks like love
I never thought I'd ever see a purple cow I never thought I'd hear a butter fly meouw I never thought I'd see these funny things somehow But you've got me seeing them now

Ev'rything's hazy, upside down above Don't think I'm crazy I'm in Love, I'm in Love, I'm in Love

A Pub With No Beer ((Dutch Version: Café Zonder Bier (by Bobbejaan Schoepen)) Composer(s): Gordon Parsons Performer(s): Slim Dusty and multiple other artists
Oh it's lonesome away from your kindred and all By the campfire at night where the wild dingos call But there's nothin' so lonesome, so dull or so drear Than to stand in the bar of a pub with no beer
Now the publican's anxious for the quota to come There's a faraway look on the face of the bum The maid's gone all cranky and the cook's acting queer What a terrible place is a pub with no beer
The stockman rides up with his dry, dusty throat He breasts up to the bar, pulls a wad from his coat But the smile on his face quickly turns to a sneer When the barman says suddenly: "The pub's got no beer!"
Then in comes the swagman, all covered with flies He throws down his roll, wipes the sweat from his eyes But when he is told he says, "What's this I hear? I've trudged fifty flamin' miles to a pub with no beer!"
There's a dog on the verandah, for his master he waits But the boss is inside drinking wine with his mates He hurries for cover and he cringes in fear It's no place for a dog round a pub with no beer
Old Billy, the blacksmith, the first time in his life Has gone home cold sober to his darling wife He walks in the kitchen; she says: "You're early, Bill dear" Then he breaks down and he tells her that the pub's got no beer
So it's lonesome away from your kindred and all By the campfire at night where the wild dingos call But there's nothin' so lonesome, so dull or so drear Than to stand in the bar of a pub with no beer
Hurt Composer(s): Jimmy Crane; Al Jacobs Performer(s): Roy Hamilton; and various other artists
I'm so hurt to think that you lied to me I'm hurt way down deep inside of me You said your love was true And we'd never, ever part Now you've found someone new And it breaks my heart
I'm hurt, much more than you'll ever know Yes, Darling, I'm so hurt Because I still love you so And even though you hurt me Like nobody else could ever do I would never hurt, hurt you
