Song I'd Like To Sing Composer(s): Kris Kristofferson Performer(s): Kris Kristofferson & Rita Coolidge
(Na Na Na Na Na Na Na....) There's a song I'd like to sing Do you know the song I mean? It don't always sound the same But it's always good to sing Maybe it don't mean a thing It's a pretty little tune It's a song I'd like to sing And I'd love to sing with you And we can get to know each other Like a sister and a brother Like a father and a mother Like a woman and a man We can sing along together Just enyoying 'til it's over It don't need to last forever If we want it to it can
Walk And Talk It Composer(s): Lou Reed Performer(s): Lou Reed
I got horrors in my luney tunes I got dreams and you do, too I got ten wheel drive, pick you up into your ears
I got retake carbine and in my eyelids gear I got no one to love and no one to fear
You better walk it, and talk it less you loose that beat You better loose yourself, mama And rock yourself right off of your feet
If you're moving too fast, don't you want it to last You better walk it, talk it You better walk it as you talk less you loose that beat
I got dimes in my shoes, real nice I got bells that are laid on ice I got dreams, let me mix it with a little gin
I got cruel when I told you woman, I'm hard But me is the one thing baby, you ain't got
You better walk it, and talk it less you loose that beat You better loose yourself, mama And rock yourself right off of your feet
Yeah, if you're moving too fast, don't you want it to last You better walk it, talk it You better walk it as you talk less you loose that beat
You better walk it, and talk it less you loose that beat You better loose yourself, mama And rock yourself right off of your feet
Yeah, if you're moving too fast, now don't you want it to last You better walk it, talk it You better walk it as you talk less you loose that beat Ah - ha - ha
A Song For You ((Italian Version: Quasi Come Musica (by Mina) - 1975)) Composer(s): Leon Russell First release by: Leon Russell - 1970 Covered by multiple other artists
I've been so many places in my life and time I've sung a lot of songs I've made some bad rhyme I've acted out my love in stages With ten thousand people watching But we're alone now and I'm singing this song for you
I know your image of me is what I hope to be I've treated you unkindly but darlin' can't you see There's no one more important to me Darlin' can't you please see through me Cause we're alone now and I'm singing this song for you
You taught me precious secrets of the truth witholding nothing You came out in front and I was hiding But now I'm so much better and if my words don't come together Listen to the melody cause my love is in there hiding
I love you in a place where there's no space or time I love you for in my life you are a friend of mine And when my life is over Remember when we were together We were alone and I was singing this song for you
You taught me precious secrets of the truth witholding nothing You came out in front and I was hiding But now I'm so much better and if my words don't come together Listen to the melody cause my love is in there hiding
I love you in a place where there's no space or time I love you for in my life you are a friend of mine And when my life is over Remember when we were together We were alone and I was singing this song for you We were alone and I was singing this song for you
Walk Alone Composer(s): Jerry Pellegrino Jr.; Terry Philips; Lou A. Reed; James N. Smith Performer(s): The Velvet Underground
When you walk, you know you're gonna walk alone When you talk, you're always gonna talk alone All alone, all alone, you know you're gonna talk alone All alone, all alone, you know you're gonna talk alone When you make love, you know you're gonna love it alone Yeah when you make love, you know you're gonna love it alone All alone, all alone, you know you're gonna love it alone All alone, all alone, you know you're gonna love it alone
Honey when you die, you know you're gonna die alone When you die, you know you're gonna die alone All alone, all alone, you know you're gonna die alone All alone, all alone, you know you're gonna die alone
When you dream, you know you're gonna dream alone When you dream, in your mind all alone All alone, all alone, you know you're gonna do it alone All alone, all alone, you know you're gonna do it alone
Quasi Come Musica ((Adapted from: A Song For You (by Leon Russell) - 1970)) Composer(s): Leon Russell - Daiano - Gino Paoli Performer(s): Mina - 1975
Se fossi solamente un'abitudine il caldo che ti resta dopo che il sole va e nuvole che il vento unisce la sbronza che non può passare potrei davvero io non amarti più Se fossi come un sogno che non ricordi più fiore dentro il libro di matematica la quiete dopo la tempesta stanca fine di una festa potrei davvero io non amarti più Ma tu non sei mai niente non somigli proprio a niente sei fatto per me ma non so come Sei sempre molto meglio di quel che mi viene in mente quasi come musica La tua vita sì è insieme a me Ma non so come dire quello che c'è tra noi cercando posso dire le frasi che tu vuoi ma non sarà abbastanza io non so proprio vivere senza quasi una musica la vita insieme a te Quasi una musica la vita insieme a te
Now I know, how it feels when you walk out that door Now I know,how it feels when you don't love me anymore I don't care if this is what is meant to be I don't care, as long as you come back to me
Oeee I have to But I don't want to I just have to (And I need to) Sing a little song for you Sing a little song,sing a little song for you
Now I know,how it feels when someone's givin up on you Now I know,how it feels when you don't care about the thinks I do I had hoped,hoped you would always be near But I'll go, go for whatever's meant to be
Oeee I have to But I don't want to I just have to (And I need to) Sing a little song for you Sing a little song, sing a little song for you
Oh listen than here's my voice Listen what I've got to say Other think than there's another choise But to sing my troubles away And try to live my life day after day I'm singin my troubles away And try to live my life day after day
Walk A Mile In My Shoes Composer(s): Joe South Performer(s): Elvis Presley
If I could be you, if you could be me For just one hour, if we could find a way To get inside each other's mind If you could see you through my eyes Instead your own ego I believe you'd be I believe you'd be surprised to see That you've been blind
Walk a mile in my shoes just walk a mile in my shoes Before you abuse, criticize and accuse Then walk a mile in my shoes
Now if we spend the day Throwin' stones at one another 'Cause I don't think, 'cause I don't think Or wear my hair the same way you do Well, I may be common people But I'm your brother And when you strike out You're tryin' to hurt me It's hurtin' you, Lord how mercy
Now there are people on reservations And out in the ghetto And brother there, but, for the grace of God Go you and I, If I only had wings of a little angel Don't you know, I'd fly To the top of a mountain And then I'd cry, cry, cry
A Song For You Composer(s): Gram Parsons First release by: Gram Parsons & Emmylou Harris - 1972
Oh my land is like a wild goose Wanders all around everywhere Trembles and it shakes till every tree is loose It rolls the meadows and it rolls the nails So take me down to your dance floor And I wont mind the people when they stare Paint a different color on your front door And tomorrow we will still be there
Jesus built a ship to sing a song to It sails the rivers and it sails the tide Some of my friends don't know who they belong to Some can't get a single thing to work inside So take me down to your dance floor And I wont mind the people when they stare Paint a different color on your front door And tomorrow we will still be there
I loved you every day and now I'm leaving And I can see the sorrow in your eyes I hope you know a lot more than you're believing Just so the sun don't hurt ou when you cry So take me down to your dance floor And I wont mind the people when they stare Paint a different color on your front door And tomorrow we will still be there And tomorrow we will still be there
Wako-Shaman Composer(s): Miguel Bosé; Ross Cullum; Sandy McLelland; Andy Ross; Toulson-Clarke Performer(s): Miguel Bosé
Érase una vez un sabio que Dijo ser profeta y guardar El Secreto Poder Que quisieras tener Era el Gran Shaman
Era un mago de la tribu Babel Tigre-halcón en otra vida fue Y era el Hombre- sol Que entre el Bien y el mal Se hizo con la Verdad
Wako Shaman Háblame de otro mañana Wako Shaman Nueva Era cambiare Wako Shaman Todo el oro de mi alma
Leyó el Canto de los Pájaros Habló de algún camino Kármico... "Quién no quiera oír no se ha de salvar en la Hora Final...
Esta tierra así tan única que es dominio de los Bárbaros antes o después se tendrá que romper y no va a tardar..."
Por el Tótem Sagrado Mi promesa cumpliré A otros tiempos antiguos Viajaría, volvería Y con al Ciencia aprendida Madre Tierra déjame Que te cuide como sé Que te quiera como sé...
Y ante mil Burdos Babilónicos Como vino, desapareció Y el planeta tembló... Un gran fuego arrasó Con quien no quiso escuchar...
A Song For While I'm Away Composer(s): Phil Lynott Performer(s): Thin Lizzy
These words I wrote, play and sing to you Do not convey the love I brought and bring to you For this is a song for while I'm away To say all the things I'd love to say
You are my life, my everything, you're all I have You are my hopes, my dreams, my world come true You're all I have Please heed me now these words I have to say
Now I'm headed for the border You see this song it ends right at the start I swore when I was younger No one would win my heart
And far away hills look greener still But soon they'll all slip away It's then I'll be returning And I'll be coming home to stay
You are my life, my everything, you're all I have You are my hopes, my dreams, my world come true You're all I have Please heed me now these words I have to say
Wake Up, Irene
Composer(s): Weldon Allard; Johnny Hathcock
Performer(s): Hank Thompson;
The Maddox Brothers & Rose
For months and months and months around the country
Everybody sang Irene goodnight
But she wouldn't go to bed no matter what they said
Though everybody tried with all their might
She stayed awake while steel guitars were a going
In every honky-tonk she could be seen
But she finally went to bed and covered up her head
And now there's not a thing can wake Irene
Wake up Irene you've slept too long
Wake up Irene it's time to move along
Wake up Irene and pay for your bed
Wake up Irene or folks will think your dead
Lot's of guitar pickers by the dozen
Sang goodnight Irene all night and day
And even Crosby too with his bobobabobedo
Tried to get Irene to hit the hay
Well I guess they finally sang her off to slumber
They must have tried a million times or more
But oh my aching back when she finally hit the sack
Man you ought to hear that women snore
Wake up Irene you've slept too long
Wake up Irene it's time to move along
Wake up Irene and pay for your bed
Wake up Irene or folks will think your dead
Wake Up Sunshine
Composer(s): Robert Lamm
Performer(s): Chicago
Wake up sunshine
Open up your sleepy eyes for me
Can't have you hidin'
I've been waiting all the night
People waiting for the light
Sunshine, sunshine
Wake up sunshine
Let me feel your warm sunlight on me
Can't have you hidin'
Night was long and night was cold
But today we're one day older
Sunshine, you make my life sunshine
You know I'm talkin' to you
I know you're knowin' it too
So just stop hidin' your face
Just open your eyes
Just smile your smile
I'm talkin' to you
Wake up sunshine
Ooh, it's good to have you here with me
Can't have you hidin'
Can't imagine what I'd do
But feel too lonely without you
Sunshine, sunshine
You got to wake up girl
And face the day ahead
Song For Me Composer(s): Dave Cousins - Brian Willoughby Performer(s): Dave Cousins
Once I was a minstrel boy, I sang just like a bird I used to trade in memories, I relived every word But the galleries are empty now, the crowds have all gone home I locked away my songs, I sang them on my own I sang them on my own
Now those who walk behind me have heard it all before They knew the many reasons I screwed them like some whore Like jumped-up jacks of all trades they walked with fettered legs And wondered where the tent went when I pulled out all the pegs I pulled out all the pegs
This song is sung for me This song is sung for me This song is sung for me This song is sung for me This song is sung for me
The peaceful queen of platitudes sat resting on his throne His laurel wreath was slipping as he retrieved his buried bone Ah but I had got there sooner, I had chewed away the fat While he slept in the gutter, I slept on the mat I slept on the mat
This song is sung for me This song is sung for me This song is sung for me This song is sung for me This song is sung for me This song is sung for me This song is sung for me
Wake Up Little Susie
Composer(s): Boudleaux Bryant; Felice Bryant
Performer(s): The Everly Brothers
Wake up, little Susie, wake up
Wake up, little Susie, wake up
Weve both been sound asleep, wake up, little Susie, and weep
The movies over, its four oclock, and were in trouble deep
Wake up little Susie
Wake up little Susie, well
What are we gonna tell your mama
What are we gonna tell your pa
What are we gonna tell our friends when they say 'ooh-la-la'
Wake up little Susie
Wake up little Susie, well
I told your mama that youd be in by ten
Well Susie baby looks like we goofed again
Wake up little Susie
Wake up little Susie, we got to go home
Wake up, little Susie, wake up
Wake up, little Susie, wake up
The movie wasnt so hot, it didnt have much of a plot
We fell asleep, our goose is cooked, our reputation is shot
Wake up little Susie
Wake up little Susie, well
What are we gonna tell your mama
What are we gonna tell your pa
What are we gonna tell our friends when they say 'ooh-la-la'
Wake up little Susie
Wake up little Susie
Wake up little Susie
Song For Jeffrey Composer(s): Ian Anderson Performer(s): Jethro Tull; Blodwyn Pig
Gonna lose my way tomorrow Gonna give away my car Id take you along with me But you would not go so far Dont see what I do not want to see You dont hear what I dont say Wont be what I dont want to be I continue in my way
Dont see, see, see where Im goin Dont see, see, see where Im goin Dont see, see, see where Im goin to I dont want to
Everyday I see the mornin come on in the same old way I tell myself tomorrow brings me things I would not dream today
Wake Up Everybody Composer(s): Victor Carstarphen; Gene McFadden
John Whitehead Performer(s): Harold Melvin
Wake up everybody no more sleepin' in bed No more backward thinkin' time for thinkin' ahead The world has changed so very much From what it used to be so there is so much hatred war an' poverty Wake up all the teachers time to teach a new way Maybe then they'll listen to whatcha have to say Cause they're the ones who's coming up and the world is in their hands when you teach the children teach 'em the very best you can
Chorus The world won't get no better if we just let it be The world won't get no better we gotta change it yeah, just you and me
Wake up all the doctors make the ol' people well They're the ones who suffer an' who catch all the hell But they don't have so very long before the Judgement Day So won'tcha make them happy before they pass away Wake up all the builders time to build a new land I know we can do it if we all lend a hand The only thing we have to do is put it in our mind Surely things will work out they do it every time
A Song For Europe Composer(s): Andy Mackay - Bryan Ferry First release by: Roxy Music - 1973 Covered by: Michaela Melián - 2004
Here as I sit At this empty cafe Thinking of you I remember All those moments Lost in wonder That we´ll never Find again Though the world Is my oyster It´s only a shell Full of memories And here by the Seine Notre-Dame casts A long lonely shadow Now - only sorrow No tomorrow There´s no today for us Nothing is there For us to share But yesterday
These cities may change But there always remains My obsession Through silken waters My gondola glides And the bridge - it sighs ... I remember All those moments Lost in wonder That we´ll never Find again There´s no more time for us Nothing is there For us to share But yesterdays
Ecce momenta Illa mirabilia Quae captabit In aeternum Memor Modo dolores Sunt in dies Non est reliquum Vero tantum Comminicamus Perdita Tous ces moments Perdus dans l`enchantement Qui ne reviendront Jamais Pas d´aujourd´hui pour nous Pour nous il n´y a rien À partager Sauf le passé
Wake Up Dolores
Composer(s): David Hidalgo; Louie Pérez
Performer(s): Los Lobos; Latin Playboys
My legs are tired
My face feels hot
Wake up Dolores
Please try to walk
Oh sacred night
Our lght is dim
We have so far to go
The stones are hard
On this endless road
Oh sacred night
On quetzal plumes
Of dying suns
And purple moons
Oh sacred night
As an eagle soars
Our spirits fly
To our gentle rest
Under loving sky
Oh sacred night
On quetzal plumes
Of dying suns
And purple moons
Oh sacred night
Ocuiltin
Moyacatla
Otlica
Auh in caltech
