A Vida De Viajante Composer(s): Luiz Gonzaga - Hervê Cordovil Performer(s): Luiz Gonzaga; Banda de Pífanos de Caruaru
Minha vida é andar por esse país Pra ver se um dia descanso feliz Guardando as recordações Das terras onde passei Andando pelos sertões E dos amigos que lá deixei Chuva e sol / Poeira e carvão Longe de casa sigo o roteiro Mais uma estação E a saudade no coração
Mar e terra / Inverno e verão Mostro o sorriso / Mostro a alegria Mas eu mesmo não E a saudade no coração
Was It All Worth Losing You Composer(s): Audie Murphy Performer(s): Charley Pride
Well, I finally got the one I thought I wanted I no longer have to slip around on you 'Cause today the postman brought my freedom But I wonder now was it all worth losing you
Yes, I wonder how my leavin' will affect you After all the heartaches we've been through But something tells me that someday I may be sorry And I wonder now was it all worth losing you
Will the one that I wanted soon grow tired of me And with this new found love fade into the distant blue And will your mem'ry always slip around and haunt me And make me wonder now was it all worth losing you
Will the one that I wanted soon grow tired of me And with this new found love fade into the distant blue And will your mem'ry always slip around and haunt me And make me wonder now was it all worth losing you
And make me wonder now was it all worth losing you
Was A Sunny Day Composer(s): Paul Simon Performer(s): Paul Simon; Paul Desmond
Was a sunny day Not a cloud was in the sky From the people passing by 'Twas a sunny day All the birdies in the trees And the radio's singing song All the favorite melodies
He was a navy man stationed in Newport News She was a highschool queen with nothing left to lose She was a highschool queen with nothing left to lose
Was a sunny day Not a cloud was in the sky Not a negative word was heard From the people passing by 'Twas a sunny day All the birdies in the trees And the radio's singing song All the favorite melodies
Her name was Lorelei She was his only girl She called him "Speedoo" But his Chistian name was Mister Earl She called him "Speedoo" But his Chistian name was Mister Earl
Was a sunny day Not a cloud was in the sky Not a negative word was heard From the people passing by 'Twas a sunny day All the birdies in the trees And the radio's singing song All the favorite melodies
I take some dope, I feel so sick It's a sick world, sick, sick, sick Doomsday visions of junkies and fags Artificial phonies I hate it, hate it
Death, death, death is the price I pay It's a sick world, what can I say? No such thing as an even break It's stealing and cheating, take, take, take
Wart, wart...
I wanna puke, I can't sit still Just took some dope and feel ill It's a sick world, sick, sick, sick It's a hopeless life, I hate it, hate it
It's a joke it's a lie, it's a rip off, man It's an outlaw life for a renegade band Doomsday visions of commies and queers Artificial phonies, I hate it, hate it
A Veteran's Song Composer(s): Pete Agnew - Manny Charlton - Dan McCafferty - Darrell Sweet Performer(s): Nazareth
The bars are crowded with wasted youth You just went, you didn't know the truth You don't know that kid when you look back You remember the music, paint it black
You had a brother in the movement and he burned his card He's got a job in the white house, ain't life hard You came back a hero on a stolen horse You say you don't fit in, you can't stay the course
I may be right, don't care if I'm wrong It's a veteran's song I may be right, don't care if I'm wrong It's a veteran's song
The band paraded playing "Oh gung ho"" Your country needs you, you've got to go When you came over they said "Soldier go back" When you came home they put you on the rack
Between agent orange and the jungle and fear You're just surviving to get out of here You smoke some more herb and you keep your head down Could be your number is on the next round
Warmer Communications Composer(s): Roger Ball; Steve Ferrone; Alan Gorrie; Hamish Stuart Performer(s): The Average White Band
If you know what's right for you I know what's right for me I won't tell you what to do but I'll tell you what I see We gotta change the way it is try to keep it tight Acting just like strangers surely can't be right
Chorus
It's got to be warmer We got to have warmer, warmer, warmer Warmer communications
Trying hard to touch you if I might be so bold Trying hard to reach you don't put me on hold If we can't communicate if we don't even try Standing here like losers the world will pass us by
Chorus
It's got to be warmer We got to have warmer, warmer, warmer Warmer communications
Burrrr - it's so cold I can't feel you Burrrr - it's so cold I can't reach you

Warmed Over Kisses (Left Over Love) Composer(s): Gary Geld; Peter Udell Performer(s): Brian Hyland; Dave Edmunds
I see I gotta be headed for pain I see a broken heart wearin' my name You're handin' me sure as stars up above Warmed over kisses, left over love
You got another love you're runnin' to You been cheatin' in some rendezvous You're handin' me sure as stars up above Warmed over kisses, left over love
You said that I'm the only one Oh, how I want it to be But when I kissed your pretty lips You've got nothing left for me
You gotta wanna be breakin my heart I know we gotta be driftin' apart You're handin' me sure as stars up above Warmed over kiss, left over love
You're handin' me sure as stars up above Warmed over kisses, left over love
A Very Cellular Song ((aka The Amoeba Song (by Neil) - 1984)) Composer(s): Mike Heron First release by: The Incredible String Band - 1968
Winter was cold and the clothing was thin But the gentle shepherd calls the tune Oh dear mother what shall I do First please your eyes and then your ears Jenny Exchanging love tokens say goodnight
Lay down my dear sister Won't you lay and take your rest Won't you lay your head upon your saviours breast And I love you but Jesus loves you the best And I bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight And I bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight One of these mornings bright and early and fine Goodnight, goodnight Not a cricket not a spirit going to shout me on Goodnight, goodnight I go walking in the valley of the shadow of death Goodnight, goodnight And his rod and his staff shall comfort me Goodnight, goodnight Oh John the wine he saw the sign Goodnight, goodnight Oh John say I seen a number of signs Goodnight, goodnight Tell A for the ark that wonderful boat Goodnight, goodnight You know they built it on the land getting water to float Goodnight, goodnight Tell B for the beast at the ending of the wood Goodnight, goodnight You know it ate all the children when they wouldn't be good Goodnight, goodnight I remember quite well, I remember quite well Goodnight, goodnight I was walking in Jerusalem just like John Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
Who would lose and who would bruise Or who would live quite prettily? And who would love what comes along And fill the air with joyous song
Who would go and who would come Or who would simply linger And who would hide behind your chair And steal your crystallised ginger
Nebulous nearness cry to me At this timeless moment Someone dear to me wants me near, makes me high I can hear vibrations fly Through mangoes, pomegranates and planes All the same When it reaches me and teaches me To sigh
Who would mouse and who would lion Or who would be the tamer And who would hear directions clear From the unameable namer
Who would skip and who would plod Or who would like quite silly And who would ride backwards on a giraffe Stopping every so often to laugh
Amoebas are very small
Oh ah ee oo there's absolutely no strife living the timeless life I don't need a wife living the timeless life If I need a friend I just give a wriggle Split right down the middle And when I look there's two of me Both as handsome as can be Oh here we go slithering, here we go slithering and squelching on Oh here we go slithering, here we go slithering and squelching on Oh ah ee oo there's absolutely no strife living the timeless life
Black hair brown hair feather and scale Seed and stamen and all unnamed lives that live Turn your quivering nerves in my direction Turn your quivering nerves in my direction Feel the energy projection of my cells Wishes you well.
May the long time sun shine upon you All love surround you And the pure light within you Guide you all the way on

A Venture Composer(s): Jon Anderson Performer(s): Yes
Once a peaceful man laid his old head down by a river Thought about his childhood life, his father and forgiver Couldn't hide away, hide away He controlled the horses with a handclap or a whisper Drink he couldn't combat but he knew he was no sinner Couldn't hide away, hide away He told all his sons of all the antics of adventure Then he told another one who drove himself to drink Not to hide away, hide away Better men have realized alone is not a venture A decent man would realize alone is not a venture Just to hide away, hide away He told all his sons of all the antics of adventure Then he told another one who drove himself to drink Not to hide away, hide away

A Veces Me Pregunto Composer(s): José Luis Perales Performer(s): Raphael
A veces me pregunto dónde estoy Y aquel señor bajito quién será Escucho comentar cerca de mí Y a veces me pregunto que dirán No sé si cada día cambio de lugar Y llevo de equipaje una canción Para los que la quieran escuchar No sé si cada día encuentra el despertar Un cielo diferente al de ayer Y una manera nueva de pensar Y voy dejándome llevar Y voy, no importa que lugar Y canto una canción y me pregunto A quién le llegará, ¿a quién? A veces me pregunto dónde estoy Si en Francia, Buenos Aires o Madrid La voz por el teléfono dirá: "¡Despierta! Raphael, que estás aquí" No sé si cada sitio es nuevo para mí Y cada día doy un poco más Y pierdo un poco más de lo que fui No sé si el día que me marche lloraré Pero ahora es el momento de cantar Y mientras haya fuerzas, cantaré Y voy dejándome llevar Y voy, no importa que lugar Y canto una canción y me pregunto A quién le llegará, ¿a quién?
Warm Feeling Composer(s): Charlie Harcourt; Ray Jackson Performer(s): Lindisfarne
Sittin' by the fire globe Waitin' for my girl to show Feelin' the harmony grow I met her just the other day She has helped me find my way Feelin' the harmony grow
I wish I had found her a long time ago Now, I don't need to wonder any more
I get a warm feelin' when you're near me I get a warm feelin' when you're holdin' me I feel the love rushes hangin' round me Even when you're gone
Been together so much more Than I've ever known before Feelin' the harmony grow
I need her more than ever now It all seems so right, somehow Feelin' the harmony grow
I never met anyone like her before Now all the rest don't matter anymore
I get a warm feelin' when you're near me I get a warm feelin' when you're holdin me I feel the love rushes hangin' round me Even when you're gone
I get a warmin' feelin' at the mention of her name She's brought the sun in my life As she drove out all of the rain
I get a warm feelin' when you're near me I get a warm feelin' when you're holdin' me I feel the love rushes hangin' round me Even when you're gone
I get a warm feelin' when you're near me I get a warm feelin' when you're holdin' me I feel the love rushes hangin' round me Even when you're gone Even when you're gone Honey, when you're gone
Feelin' the harmony grow Feelin' the harmony grow Feelin' the harmony grow Feelin' the harmony grow
A Veces Llegan Cartas Composer(s): Manuel Alejandro Performer(s): Raphael; Julio Iglesias
A veces llegan cartas con sabor amargo, con sabor a lágrimas A veces llegan cartas con olor a espinas que no son románticas Son cartas que te dicen que al estar tan lejos todo es diferente Son cartas que te hablan de que en la distancia el amor se muere A veces llegan cartas que te hieren dentro, dentro de tu alma A veces llegan cartas con sabor a gloria llenas de esperanza A veces llegan cartas con olor a rosas que si son fantásticas Son cartas que te dicen que regreses pronto que desean verte Son cartas que te hablan de que en la distancia el cariño crece A veces llegan cartas que te dan la vida, que te dan la calma Son cartas que te dicen que regreses pronto que desean verte Son cartas que te hablan de que en la distancia el cariño crece A veces llegan cartas que te dan la vida, que te dan la calma
