Fly Away Pretty Flamingo Performer(s): Peggy March
Regen fällt auf den Strand Kalter Wind weht ins Land und es scheint, als sei nie Sommer gewesen Wie verlassen und leer ist die Welt um mich her Gestern noch war hier nur Sonnenschein
Fly, fly away fly to my love oh my pretty flamingos in den Sonnenschein fly, fly away fly to my love oh my pretty flamingos denn hin zu ihm würd ich gern mit euch ziehn
All die Sehnsucht in mir bringt die Bilder von dir und ich seh dich noch beim Abschied weinen Doch das Meer kommt zum Strand und das ist wie ein Pfand Wann kommst du zurück in dieses Land?
Fly, fly away fly to my love oh my pretty flamingos in den Sonnenschein fly, fly away fly to my love oh my pretty flamingos denn hin zu ihm würd ich gern mit euch ziehn
Do You Mind?
Composer(s): Lionel Bart
Performer(s): Anthony Newley
If I say I love you do you mind Make an idol of you do you mind If I shower you with kisses If I tell you honey this is How I think of heaven do you mind
I want to whisper, whisper sweet nothings in your ear Nothings that are meant for my love alone to hear
So then If I say I love you do you mind Make an idol of you do you mind If I shower you with kisses If I tell you honey this is How I think of heaven do you mind
I want to whisper, whisper sweet nothings in your ear Nothings that are meant for my love alone to hear
So then If I say I love you do ya mind baby Make an idol of you do you mind If I shower you with kisses If I tell you honey this is How I think of heaven do you mind
Deja que se vayan de una vez esas palabras y no tengas miedo de abrirles la ventana Que la rabia es necia y no sabe lo que habla Que venga el silencio y nos devuelva la calma
Deja que se vayan también los pensamientos Que sin razón alguna le echan leña al fuego nublando los sentidos, quemándonos por dentro Ven siéntate a mi lado fue solo un mal momento
Un beso como la primera vez para olvidar tanta estupidez pues el sabe que aunque se nuble el cielo el sol brillará otra vez
Un te quiero así a media voz Un corazón latiendo por los dos que dice hay que empezar de nuevo pues así es el amor
Deja que se vayan de una vez esas miradas y no tengas miedo de abrirles la ventana que el rencor es ciego y nos hiere con su espada dame una sonrisa, aquí no pasa nada
Deja que despierte de nuevo el sentimiento un sueño una razón para seguir creyendo Soltemos las amarras dejemos este puerto ven siéntate a mi lado, fue sólo un mal momento
Un beso como la primera vez para olvidar tanta estupidez pues él sabe que aunque ser nuble el cielo el sol brillará otra vez
Un te quiero así a media voz Un corazón latiendo por los dos que dice hay que empezar de nuevo pues así es el amor

Ashes To Ashes Composer(s): David Bowie First release by: David Bowie - 1980 Covered by multiple other artists
Do you remember a guy that's been In such an early song I've heard a rumour from Ground Control Oh no, don't say it's true
They got a message from the Action Man "I'm happy, hope you're happy too I've loved all I've needed love Sordid details following"
The shrieking of nothing is killing Just pictures of Jap girls in synthesis and I Ain't got no money and I ain't got no hair But I'm hoping to kick but the planet it's glowing
Ashes to ashes, funk to funky We know Major Tom's a junkie Strung out in heaven's high Hitting an all-time low
Time and again I tell myself I'll stay clean tonight But the little green wheels are following me Oh no, not again I'm stuck with a valuable friend "I'm happy, hope you're happy too" One flash of light but no smoking pistol
I never done good things I never done bad things I never did anything out of the blue, woh-o-oh Want an axe to break the ice Wanna come down right now
Ashes to ashes, funk to funky We know Major Tom's a junkie Strung out in heaven's high Hitting an all-time low
My mother said to get things done You'd better not mess with Major Tom My mother said to get things done You'd better not mess with Major Tom My mother said to get things done You'd better not mess with Major Tom My mother said to get things done You'd better not mess with Major Tom

Laughing while you tease me Oh, do you know and do you care? I said I did, I shouldn't cause the magic will go It happened once before You'll see it, you'll steal it and take it away And then come back for more Don't say you weren't, you were 'cause I saw you myself It's too late for your reason You're lying, you're lying, you've done it this time I'm sick of all the cheating Oh, well do you know and do you care? 'Cause I watch you oo every day I watch you pass me by I'll get you Yes in the end I'll get you Just watch me try Oh you make it hard to be hard but I'm trying my best Cause down inside I'm burning You want it, you get it, now take it and run I'll hide how much it's hurting Oh, well do you know and do you care? Oh, well do you know and do you care?

We used to say our love will stay Until the cows come home And then the cows came home Do you know why? We used to say well love this way Till Hades freezes over And then it just froze over Do you know why?

We used to say our love will stay Forever and a night And now forevers gone Darling, do you know why? Neither do I
Ashes And Glass Composer(s): Bob Weir - Andre Pessis Performer(s): Bob Weir
What if all tomorow brings is ashes and glass And I can't tell you child, "this too shall pass" If all the world were windswept, cold and gray And in the end there's nothing left to say
If all the silicon and best laid plans Became the master, and the fall of man If all the earth were baked to hard red clay Not so far from where we are today
Ah well anyway
Come on darlin', swing and sway Daddy gonna find us a better way And if that better way don't float Daddy gonna find us a tighter boat
And if that tighter boat don't sail Grab a bucket babe, and start to bail And if that bucket spring a leak Little miss, we're up the creek
What if fire came raining on the hills And mountains made of rusting Coupe De Villes And all God's children find themselves alone And all the poets took to throwing stones
Guess we're on our own No way out and no way home
Come on baby, it's time to sing Daddy gonna grab that old brass ring And if that old brass ring don't fit Daddy gonna get to fixin' it
And if that old brass ring stays broke Daddy gonna buy you a billy goat And if that billy goat don't bark Gonna give that goat the old kick start Old kick start
What if all that was left was ashes and glass And I can't tell you child, "this too shall pass" And if those four horsemen can't be turned away And everyone's too paralyzed to pray
Too paralyzed to pray And the jury's out on judgement day And there ain't nothing left to say Nothing left to say
Come on baby we can fly Daddy's got a stack of alibi's Alibi's shot full of holes Come on child, let's rock and roll
And if that roll takes us to France Teach them Froggies how to dance Keep on dancin', sing the tune We'll be dancin' all around the moon
And if that big old moon go bust Well ashes to ashes, baby, dust to dust Baby it's time for one last rave Keep on dancin' on our own graves
On our own graves Keep on dancing On our own graves Keep on dancing Keep on dancing
Do You Know Who I Am? Composer(s): Bobby Russell Performer(s): Elvis Presley
Do you know who I am Have you have any idea who I am Yes it's been quite a while And it's so good to see you again
It's so dark in this place That I can't see your face May believe Oh I see Does he know who I am And what once was between you and me
Do you know how I tried Have you any idea how I tried Not to keep you in sight Do you know darling how much I cried
I remember you said That you had to forget about me, and be free Do you know who I am or have you forgot about me
Do you think there's a chance You and I could start over again Is there a prayer you still pray Or has it just been too long and we're through Well, what about you and him Oh he's only a friend Well I see there's still a chance for me
Well maybe some other time, in some other place With our love in your heart and a smile on your face You will know who I am When that time comes you'll know who I am You will know who I am When that time comes you'll know who I am You will know who I am When that time comes you'll know who I am

Do you know where you're going to? Do you like the things that life is showing you Where are you going to? Do you know?
Do you get What you're hoping for When you look behind you There's no open door What are you hoping for? Do you know?
Once we were standing still in time Chasing the fantasies That filled our minds You knew how I loved you But my spirit was free Laughin' at the questions That you once asked of me
Do you know where you're going to? Do you like the things that life is showing you Where are you going to? Do you know?
Now looking back at all we've planned We let so many dreams Just slip through our hands Why must we wait so long Before we'll see How sad the answers To those questions can be
Do you know where you're going to? Do you like the things that life is showing you Where are you going to? Do you know?
Do you get What you're hoping for When you look behind you There's no open door What are you hoping for? Do you know?

Covered by multiple other artists
Do you know what it means to miss New Orleans And miss it each night and day I know I'm not wrong, the feeling's getting stronger The longer I stay away
Miss the moss-covered vines, tall sugar pines Where mockingbirds used to sing I'd love to see that old lazy Mississippi Hurrying into Spring
The moonlight on the bayou A Creole tune that fills the air I dream about magnolias in bloom And I'm wishin I was there
Do you know what it means to miss New Orleans When that's where you left your heart And there's one thing more, I miss the one I care for More than I miss New Orleans

Asesina De Mi Vida Performer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute
No sé cómo te soporto no sé como te tolero debe ser el fin de siglo o que estoy enloqueciendo Sé que amarte es un combate donde siempre caigo preso pero bien valen tus rejas un descenso a los infiernos
Me someto a tu malicia como quien profesa un credo no me quedan más esquemas que las reglas de tu juego Bailo al son de tus caprichos dices negro y digo negro no te llevo la contraria porque no deseo hacerlo
Vas a acabar con mis días y mis noches, asesina asesina de mi vida.
Tu crueldad es una esponja que succiona mi cerebro me torturas lentamente con tu corazón de hielo No tienes la sangra fría que eso es tener sangre al menos lo que corre por tus venas es dulcísimo veneno
Mira que te gusta verme humillado como un perro qué te importa maltratarme si ni siento ni padezco Pero todo se me pasa como si fuera un mal sueño cuando veo que tus ojos me insinúan: ahora quiero

Covered by multiple other artists
Do you know the way to San Jose? I've been away so long I may go wrong and lose my way Do you know the way to San Jose? I'm going back to find some peace of mind in San Jose
L.A. is a great big freeway Put a hundred down and buy a car In a week, maybe two, they'll make you a star Weeks turn into years. How quick they pass And all the stars that never were Are parking cars and pumping gas
Do you know the way to San Jose? They've got a lot of space There'll be a place where I can stay I was born and raised in San Jose I'm going back to find some peace of mind in San Jose
Fame and fortune is a magnet It can pull you far away from home With a dream in your heart you're never alone Dreams turn into dust and blow away And there you are without a friend You pack your car and ride away
I've got lots of friends in San Jose Do you know the way to San Jose? Can't wait to get back to San Jose
