Lights Out Composer(s): Seth David - Mac Rebennack Performer(s): Jerry Byrne; Johnny Winter
Standin' on my front porch Grabbed her and I kissed her Boy I was surprised when I saw her little sister Lights out, lights out I'm glad now the lights were out Sister knows more about What to do when the lights go out Mother looked at me She was a-peepin' through the window The way she looked at me Boy, I thought I was a sinner Lights out, lights out I'm glad now the lights were out Sister knows more about What to do when the lights go out Lovin' on the front porch sittin' on the swing I can almost hear those weddin' bells ring Lights out, lights out I'm glad now the lights were out Sister knows more about What to do when the lights go out
Lovin' on the front porch sittin' on the swing I can almost hear those weddin' bells ring Lights out, lights out I'm glad now the lights were out Sister knows more about What to do when the lights go out Now we're married and we bought a little house Would have married little sister, but the lights went out Lights out, lights out I'm glad now the lights were out Sister knows more about What to do when the lights go out
El universo se me derrumbó por un instante demasiado largo pensé que lo mejor era el letargo de los cipreses de Van Gogh Y me bebí un buen trago de cointreau para endulzar aquel bocado amargo pero de pronto sucedió que la memoria, como por encargo se puso en marcha y disparó alguna ráfaga de 'So'... "Don't give up 'cause somewhere there's a place...' decía la dulce voz de Kate calmando mi desesperación... amigo te debo esta canción... Dear Peter I owe you this song Y casi como una revelación lo que antes era oscuro se hizo claro la voz de Kate lucía como un faro en el umbral de mi apagón Se apoderó de mí la decisión de combatir de frente al desamparo y proclamar la rebelión de no seguir pasando por el aro de la maldita maratón que sólo lleva a la traición 'Don't give up...' La voz que me animaba en tu canción se convirtió en mi pan de cada día fué el único alimento que comía para vencer mi rendición pero escondido tras aquella voz amigo, tú eras quien me repetía vivir es resistir la coz interna de tu propia cobardía que, con la dama de la hoz es tu enemiga más feroz... 'Don't give up you know where we belong... resiste que aún queda el corazón amigo te debo esta canción Dear Peter I owe you this song
Another Pot O'tea Composer(s): Paul Grady Performer(s): Anne Murray and multiple other artists
Put on another pot o' tea 'Cause I'm in love with the Irish accent to your stories And I need someone to help me
Well they say that now you don't talk straight And as of late it's been my lot to be afraid To remember you by anything But memories I already keep
Put another pot o' tea 'Cause I'm in love with the Irish accent to your stories And now I need some sympathy
It's harder when it takes so long to leave The table where we all learned to laugh and learned to grieve Over the pain that came so close to you It comes so close to me today
Put another pot o' tea 'Cause I'm in love with the Irish accent to your stories And I need a rosary
Dear Old Pal Of Mine
Composer(s): Lieut. Gitz Rice - Harold Robe
Performer(s): John McCormack
and multiple other artists
All my life is empty, since I went away Skies don't seem to be so clear May some angel sentry, guard you while I stray And fate be kind to join us some sweet day
Oh, how I want you, dear old pal of mine Each night and day I pray you're always mine Sweetheart, may God bless you, angel hands caress you While sweet dreams rest you, dear old pal of mine
Dearie, I'm so lonely, how I miss your smile And your tender loving way I just want you only, want you all the while May God decree I have you back some day
Oh, how I want you, dear old pal of mine Each night and day I pray you're always mine Sweetheart, may God bless you, angel hands caress you While sweet dreams rest you, dear old pal of mine
Another Place, Another Time Composer(s): Jerry Chesnut Performer(s): Jerry Lee Lewis and multiple other artists
One by one they're turning out the lights I've been feeding that old jukebox just to hold you tight Guess it's for the best I just put in my last dime Heard you whisper we'd meet again, another place, another time
Chairs are stacked all over tables and it's closing time they say I could wait right here forever if they'd only let me stay Anywhere would be much better than that lonely room of mine And the sleepless nights are waitin' for another place, another time
Won't that room of mine be a lonely place to be After I've been holding you so close to me And won't that old stairway be a little hard to climb To a lonely room to wait for another place, another time
Won't that old stairway be a little hard to climb To a lonely room to wait for another place, another time
Dear Old Donegal
Composer(s): Steve Graham
Performer(s): Josef Locke
and multiple other artists
It seems like only yesterday I sailed from out of Cork A wanderer from old Erin's isle I landed in New York There wasn't a soul to greet me there A stranger on your shore But Irish luck was with me here And riches came galore And now that I'm going back again To dear old Erin's isle My friends will meet me on the pier And greet me with a smile Their faces, sure, I've almost forgot I've been so long away But me mother will introduce them all And this to me will say
Shake hands with your Uncle Mike, me boy And here's your sister, Kate And sure there's the girl you used to swing Down by the garden gate Shake hands with all your neighbours And kiss the colleens all You're as welcome as the flowers in May To dear old Donegal
They'll line the roads for miles and miles They'll come from near and far And they'll give a party when I go home With Irish jauntin' cars The spirits'll flow and we'll be gay We'll fill your hearts with joy And the piper will play an Irish reel To greet the Yankee boy We'll dance and sing the whole night long Such fun as never was seen. The lads'll be decked in corduroy The colleens wearin' green There'll be thousands there that I never saw I've been so long away But me mother will introduce them all And this to me will say
Shake hands with your Uncle Mike, me boy And here's your sister, Kate And sure there's the girl you used to swing Down by the garden gate Shake hands with all your neighbours And kiss the colleens all You're as welcome as the flowers in May To dear old Donegal
Shake hands with your Uncle Mike, me boy And here's your sister, Kate And sure there's the girl you used to swing Down by the garden gate Shake hands with all your neighbours And kiss the colleens all You're as welcome as the flowers in May To dear old Donegal
Another Park, Another Sunday Composer(s): Tom Johnston Performer(s): The Doobie Brothers
As I'm sitting in my room staring out the window I'm wondering where you've gone Thinking back 'bout the happy hours just before the dawn Outside the wind is blowing......it seems to call your name Again Where have you gone
City streets and lonely highways I've traveled down My car is empty And the radio just seems to bring me down I'm just tryin' to find me a pretty smile that I can get into It's true I'm lost without you
Another lonely park, another Sunday (Another lonely day) Why is it life turns out that way (It just turns out that way) Just when you think you've got a good thing It seems to slip away
It's warm outside, no clouds are in the sky But I need myself a place to go and hide I keep it to myself...... I don't want nobody else To see me cryin' all those tears in my eyes
Another lonely park, another Sunday (Another lonely day) Why is it life turns out that way (It just turns out that way) Just when you think you've got a good thing It seems to slip away
Another park, another Sunday It's dark and empty thanks to you I've got to get myself together But it's hard to do
Zoals het eenmaal is geweest Zo zal het nooit meer zijn Al hou ik nog van jou het meest Al zal er nooit een ander zijn
Zoals het eenmaal is geweest Zo zal het nooit meer zijn Al hou ik nog van jou het meest Al zal er nooit een ander zijn
Wij waren nog maar zestien jaar Maar hielden dolveel van elkaar De zon scheen helder boven ons bestaan Na d' eerste kus in 't lentegroen Na d' eerste zucht in 't naseizoen Viel in mijn hart de eerste liefdetraan
Zoals het eenmaal is geweest Zo zal het nooit meer zijn Al hou ik nog van jou het meest Al zal er nooit een ander zijn
Het is niet waar wat men beweert Na regen zonneschijn Zoals het eenmaal is geweest Zo zal het nooit meer zijn Al hoor ik weer een liefdeslied De noten zijn dezelfde niet Het klinkt niet meer zo vrolijk zoals toen Al kwam de lente stralend weer De kleuren zijn zo mooi niet meer Want wat een keer vervaagt Wordt nooit meer groen
Zoals het eenmaal is geweest Zo zal het nooit meer zijn Al hou ik nog van jou het meest Al zal er nooit een ander zijn
Zoals het eenmaal is geweest Zo zal het nooit meer zijn Al hou ik nog van jou het meest Al zal er nooit een ander zijn

Dear Mister Fantasy play us a tune Something to make us all happy Do anything take us out of this gloom Sing a song, play guitar Make it snappy You are the one who can make us all laugh But doing that you break out in tears Please don't be sad if it was a straight mind you had We wouldn't have known you all these years

Another op'nin', another Show Another op'nin', another show In Philly, Boston or Baltimoe A chance for stagefolks to say "hello" Another op'nin', another show
Another job that you hope, at last Will make your future forget your past Another pain where the ulcers grow Another op'nin', another show
For weeks, you rehearse and rehearse Three weeks and it couldn't be worse One week, will it ever be right? Then out o' the hat, it's that big first night!
The overture is about to start You cross your fingers and hold your heart It's curtain time and away we go Another op'nin', another show

Dear Mom, the weather today was cloudy and damp Your package arrived but was missing a stamp Your cake made a hit with all the boys in the camp How they love it, Dear Mom
The food is okay, don't worry your head I sleep pretty well but I miss my old bed And oh how I wish they'd make this Army co-ed Still I love it
If you should run into A certain you-know-who Please do this for me Give her a kiss for me Tell her to write me Nightly
Dear Mom, that's all for tonight, the bugle just blew Tomorrow's a big day with plenty to do I like it here but I'm kind of homesick for you For I love you, Dear Mom
I like it here but I'm kind of homesick for you For I love you, Dear Mom

Ridin' in a bus down the boulevard And the place was pretty packed! Couldn't find a seat, so I had to stand With the perverts in the back! It was smellin' like a locker room There was junk all over the floor! We're already packed in like sardines But we're stoppin' to pick up more! Look out!
Another one rides the bus-ah! Another one rides the bus-ah! And another comes on And another comes on! Another one rides the bus! Hey! He's gonna sit by you! Another one rides the bus!
There's a suitcase pokin' me in the ribs There's an elbow in my ear! There's a smelly old bum standin' next to me Hasn't showered in a year! Well, I think I'm missin' a contact lens And I think my wallet's gone! And I think this bus is stoppin' again To let a couple more freaks get on! Look out!
Another one rides the bus-ah! Another one rides the bus-ah! And another comes on And another comes on! Another one rides the bus! Hey! He's gonna sit by you! Another one rides the bus!
(Yeh!) Huh ah huh ah huh ah huh ah!
Another one rides the bus Another one rides the bus-ow! Another one rides the bus-hey, hey! Another one rides the bus-hey-y-y-y!
The window doesn't open, and the fan is broke And my face is turnin' blue! (yeh!) I haven't been in a crowd like this Since I went to see The Who! Well, I should'a got off a couple miles ago But I couldn't get to the door! There isn't any room for me to breathe! Now we're gonna pick up more, yeah!
Another one rides the bus-ah! Another one rides the bus-ah! And another comes on And another comes on! Another one rides the bus! Hey! He's gonna sit by you! Another one rides the bus!
Dear Landlord
Composer(s): Bob Dylan
First release by: Bob Dylan - 1967
Covered by multiple other artists
Dear landlord Please don't put a price on my soul My burden is heavy My dreams are beyond control When that steamboat whistle blows I'm gonna give you all I got to give And I do hope you receive it well Depending on the way you feel that you live
Dear landlord Please heed these words that I speak I know you've suffered much But in this you are not so unique Each of us, at times, we might work too hard To have it too fast and too much And anyone who fills his life up With things he can see but he just cannot touch
Dear landlord Please don't dismiss my case I'm not about to argue I'm not about to move to no other place Each of us, he has his own special gifts And you know this was meant to be true And if you don't underestimate me I won't underestimate you

Ooh, let's go Steve walks warily down the street With the brim pulled way down low Ain't no sound but the sound of his feet Machine guns ready to go
Are you ready, hey, are you ready for this Are you hangin' on the edge of your seat Out of the doorway the bullets rip To the sound of the beat - yeah
Another one bites the dust Another one bites the dust And another one gone and another one gone Another one bites the dust, eh Hey, I'm gonna get you too Another one bites the dust
How do you think I'm going to get along Without you when you're gone You took me for everything that I had And kicked me out on my own
Are you happy? Are you satisfied? How long can you stand the heat Out of the doorway the bullets rip To the sound of the beat Look out
Another one bites the dust Another one bites the dust And another one gone and another one gone Another one bites the dust, eh Hey, I'm gonna get you too Another one bites the dust
Hey Oh take it Bites the dust - bite the dust hey Hey Another one bites the dust Another one bites the dust, ow Another one bites the dust, hey hey Another one bites the dust, heeey Ooh show down
There are plenty of ways that you can hurt a man And bring him to the ground You can beat him You can cheat him You can treat him bad and leave him When he's down, yeah But I'm ready, yes I'm ready for you I'm standing on my own two feet Out of the doorway the bullets rip Repeating to the sound of the beat Oh yeah
Another one bites the dust Another one bites the dust And another one gone and another one gone Another one bites the dust, yeah Hey, I'm gonna get you too Another one bites the dust Shoot out Hey, alright

C´mon latino a bailar esta cumbia es la clicka que tu alma inunda juro que nunca he comido un ladrillo porque soy cruza de perra, de potrillo
No tengo historia en conversar con tus piernas siempre que ellas me muestran su belleza tengo un terreno en la re-a-leza tengo la gloria, no he besado a la reina
Por que al decir no va mas me entregas un lugar Donde respirar, es elemental yea, si el cosmos es muerte no quiero hacer el equivalente a un alma que esta viva pero solo por suerte...
Another one bites the dust Another one bites the dust and another one bites and another one bites Another one bites the dust
Si me ves caminando no me detengas no me interesa lo que quieras que sepa Llevo tatuada la vida doblada de vidas, partidas esperando el alba y nunca aparecio cielo se cerraba cada vez que sueñan con mi gente era enterrada
un angel de luz me guia por el camino dejo caer en el roño destino destruir al mito de que tu eras la reina no aspiro a ser esclavo de esa mierda juro que nunca he comido un ladrillo soy la pared mas metal que tu has visto
nunca he sufrido algo de tu castigo puedo volar con solo comer higos (bueno polaco todo comprendido) asi soy yo, no le pido nada al olmo no por eso te digo que otro muerde el polvo
Another one bites the dust Another one bites the dust and another one bites and another one bites Another one bites the dust
Despierto de un mal sueño donde yo era peor quedando en tu culo subiendome al monton
de mujeres, yeah, todas para mi desnudas en mi cama y que aparezca al fin!

Now Jonah got along in the belly of the whale Daniel in the lion's den But I know a guy that didn't try to get along And he won't get a chance again And that's all she wrote, Dear John I've fetched your saddle home
Now she didn't forward no address Nor she didn't say goodbye All she said was if you get blue Just hang your little head and cry And that's all she wrote, Dear John I've sent your saddle home
Now my gal's short and stubby She's strong as she can be But if that little old gal of mine Ever get's a-hold of me That's all she wrote, Dear John I've sent your saddle home
Now Jonah got along in the belly of the whale Daniel in the lion's den But I know a man that didn't try to get along And he won't get a chance again And that's all she wrote, Dear John I've fetched your saddle home
Now I went down to the bank this morning The cashier said with a grin I feel so sorry for you Hank But your wife has done been in And that's all she wrote, Dear John I've sent your saddle home
