The Ragpicker's Dream Composer(s): Mark Knopfler Performer(s): Mark Knopfler
When Jack Frost came for Christmas With a brass monkey date The rail-king and the scarecrow Hopped a florlda freight And they blew on their paper cups And stared through the steam Then they drank half a bottle Of ragpicker's dream where
The whiskey keeps following Cold pitchers of beer Me and my associate Like the clientele here get The onions and the 'taters Rib-eyes on the grill Toothpicks and luckies And a coffee refill as
The rail-king lay rocking He was leaving the ground Then he was flying like santa claus Over the town where He came to the window Of a house by a stream It was a family christmas In the ragpicker's dream there
Were kids at the table All aglow in the light Music in the wintertime Sure carries at night there Was turkey and gravy Pie and ice-cream And gifts for each and everyone In the ragpicker's dream where
The red-eye keeps tumbling In our glasses of beer Me and my associate Like the service in here there's A ten for your trouble You have beautiful hair Make the last one two doubles It's a cold one out there where
The scarecrow and the rail-king Have started to dance But a nightstick and a billyclub Won't give peace a chance here I think they went thataways Your song and dance team Heading home for the holidays With the ragpicker's dream on
His knees like a fighter The rail-riding king Like a sack of potatoes Like a bull in the ring where The scarecrow falls over With a tear in the seam Home for the rover In the ragpicker's dream where
The red-eye keeps tumbling Like tears in our beer Me and my associate Like the ambience here where They cornered two castaways In a white flashlight beam Merry christmas and happy days In the ragpicker's dream
À Quoi Ça Sert? Composer(s): Françoise Hardy Performer(s): Françoise Hardy
Comme toi j'ai un cur qui ne peut rien promettre à qui l'amour fait peur mais qui t'aime peut-être à quoi ça sert de le cacher à quoi ça sert d'y échapper?
Je n'ai rien à t'offrir que ce que mes yeux voient tu ne veux pas souffrir mais qui ne souffre pas? à quoi ça sert de l'éviter à quoi ça sert de t'en aller?
À rester dans ta tour d'ivoire en broyant du rose ou du noir tout seul - tout seul
Comme on n'est pas très malheureux on oublie qu'on n'est pas heureux tout seul - tout seul
Je n'ai que les étoiles et rien d'autre pour toi si l'on doit se faire mal c'est la vie qui veut ça à quoi ça sert de rester seul à quoi ça sert de vivre seul
Je n'ai que les étoiles et rien d'autre pour toi si l'on doit se faire mal c'est la vie qui veut ça à quoi ça sert de rester seul à quoi ça sert de vivre seul tout seul..
Hush, Hush, Sweet Charlotte Composer(s): Mack David; Frank DeVol Performer(s): Patti Page; Bette Davis; Al Martino; Gerry Mulligan
Chorus:
Hush hush, sweet Charlotte Charlotte, don't you cry Hush hush, sweet Charlotte He'll love you till he dies
Oh, hold him darling Please hold him tight And brush the tear from your eye You weep because you had a dream last night You dreamed that he said goodbye
He held two roses within his hand Two roses he gave to you The red rose tells you of his passion The white rose his love so true
Chorus
And every night after he shall die Yes every night when he's gone The wind will sing to you this lullaby Sweet Charlotte was loved by John
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

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
Yo Se Que Me Critican, Me Consta Que Me Odian La Envidia Les Corroe, Mi Vida Les Agobia ¿por Que Sera? Yo No Tengo La Culpa Mis Circunstancias Les Insultan
Mi Destino Es El Que Yo Decido El Que Yo Elijo Para Mi ¿a Quien Le Imorta Lo Que Yo Haga? ¿a Quien Le Importa Lo Que Yo Diga? Yo Soy Asi Y Asi Seguire, Nunca Cambiare
Quiza La Culpa Es Mia Por No Seguir La Norma Ya Es Demasiado Tarde Para Cambiar Ahora Me Mantendre Firme En Mis Convicciones Reforzare Mis Posiciones
Mi Destino Es El Que Yo Decido El Que Yo Elijo Para Mi ¿a Quien Le Imorta Lo Que Yo Haga? ¿a Quien Le Importa Lo Que Yo Diga? Yo Soy Asi Y Asi Seguire, Nunca Cambiare

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
