Irresistible Force Composer(s): Robin Gibb; Maurice Gibb; Barry Gibb Performer(s): Bee Gees
In the name of love and life Turn your face to the lonely night But you're not alone when she calls you home And this your world is on the edge As good as lost but you know the way Through the faceless town And she pulls me down
I know the place and the time (of our lives) So long ago And all through the years (never dies) All things must pass
Irresistible force meets an immovable object and Human animal madness and blood starts to flow Invisible fingers and indescribable pleasure I get to find my personal god I get to find my personal god
God of love, god of gold Ring of fire in the days of old It's what I'm living for and love's the only law So answer Mayday, S.O.S. Search me North, East, South, or West It's all I miss, just the one last kiss
This is goodbye to the days (of our lives) My fair-weather friend I feel your sorrow and tears (they are mine) I share to the end
Irresistible force meets an immovable object and Human animal magic How far can you go? The rolling of thunder and you decide what you're after
I get to find my personal god I get to find my personal god
I surrender All or nothing You must spread your wings and fly
I know the place and the time (of our lives) My fair-weather friend I feel your sorrow and tears (they are mine) We share to the end When an irresistible force meets an immovable object Human animal madness and blood starts to flow there's bound to be heartbreak You make it the hard way
I surrender All or nothing You must spread your wings and fly
Nice Work If You Can Get It Composer(s): George Gershwin; Ira Gershwin Performer(s): Fred Astaire; and various other artists
The man who only lives for making money Lives a life that isn't necessarily sunny Likewise the man who works for fame There's no guarantee that time won't erase his name The fact is, the only work that really brings enjoyment Is the kind that is for girl and boy meant Fall in love and you won't regret it That's the best work of all, if you can get it Holding hands at midnight 'Neath a starry sky Nice work if you can get it And you can get it if you try Strolling with the one girl Sighing sigh after sigh Nice work if you can get it And you can get it if you try Just imagine someone Waiting at the cottage door Where two hearts become one Who could ask for anything more? Loving one who loves you And then taking that vow It's nice work if you can get it And if you get it, won't you tell me how?"
Just imagine someone Waiting at the cottage door Where two hearts become one Who could ask for anything more? Loving one who loves you And then taking that vow Nice work if you can get it And if you get it, won't you tell me how?"

Iron Horse Composer(s): Jeff Christie Performer(s): Jeff Christie
Through the plains and valleys Across the great divide White man brought his thunder From the other side
Burning smoke and wing of steel Breathing fire from flaming wheels Reaching out for a new frontier Making sure the way was clear
Iron horse, iron horse Keep on burning on its course Iron horse, iron horse Burning on and on Keep on burning on
Over sand and water Across the canyon too Through the crimson sunset Its mighty whistle blew
Burning smoke and wing of steel Breathing fire from flaming wheels Reaching out for a new frontier Making sure the way was clear
Iron horse, iron horse Keep on burning on its course Iron horse, iron horse Burning on and on Keep on burning on
Iron horse, iron horse Keep on burning on its course Iron horse, iron horse Keep on burning on Keep on burning on Keep on burning on Keep on burning on

Oh wont you stay Stay a while with your own ones Dont ever stray Stray so far from your own ones cause the world is so cold Dont care nothing for your soul That you share with your own ones

Irish Free State (Traditional) Performer(s): Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
I went to see David, to London to David I went to see David, and what did he do? He gave me a Free State, a nice little Free State A Free State that's bound up with Red, White and Blue I brought it to Dublin to show to Dail Eirann I brought it to Dublin, and what did they do? They asked me what kind of a thing was a Free State A Free State that's tied up with Red, White and Blue
"Three quarters of Ireland a nation," I told them "Tied on to the Empire with Red, White and Blue And an oath they must swear to King George and Queen Mary An oath they must swear to the son-in-law new I'm teaching them Irish and painting their boxes All over with green, sure, what more can I do? Yet they tell me they want just an Irish Republic Without any trimmings of Red, White and Blue!
Nicaragua Composer(s): Christian Gaubert; Bernard Lavilliers Performer(s): Bernard Lavilliers
Nicaragua c'est Managua, la ville Il reste encore une rafale, un signe Une blessure sur le futur, fragile Palais déserts, des aigles en pierre se signent Quand la mémoire écrit l'histoire latine
Nicaragua
Vivre là, survivre là, aimer là Sans trop savoir si c'est possible De vivre là, survivre là, rester là Presque en exil, comme sur une île
Matagualpa, Nicaragua, la ville Aigles penchés sur des statues civiles Un ciel tendu comme un tissu, fragile Dans la sierra c'est la contra servile Musique FM contre kalas latines
Nicaragua
Vivre là, survivre là, dormir là Sur la fissure, sans être sûr De vivre encore, survivre encore, aimer encore La liberté jusqu'à la mort Si c'est possible
Anything Can Happen On Halloween Composer(s): Charles Strouse - Don Black Performer(s): Tim Curry
Its great to be here, with you young witches, on this fabulous night! Remember Gills, show the world, let them know its Halloween Hit it!
Curry Wurst: I wouldnt change places With anyone tonight Well carve pumpkin faces And watch the witches flight Every human heart will shudder Every soul will shake with fear Tonight, the creepiest Tonight, the scariest Tonight, the most wonderful night ahhhhhhhhf the year Anything can happen on Halloween Your dog could turn into a cat There may be a toad in your bass guitar Or your sister could turn into a bat Christmas time brings the snow Summer time brings the sun But on Halloween your blood begins to run Somethings funky going down now*
Curry Wurst: Anything can happen on Halloween Its better than a video Gremlins gonna mess up every cassette From London to Idaho April first can be fun New Years Eve is a bore But on Halloween your flesh begins to crawl Oh, Im losing control Anything can happen on Halloween Your toenails grow long and your hair turns green Your teacher could become a sardine Your dentist could turn into a queen Has anybody seen my tambourine I may start playing Begin the begin The craziest night youve ever seen This hairy, scary, creepy, crawly, Halloween
Onde andará Nicanor? Tinha mãos de jardineiro Quando tratava de amor Há tanta moça na espera Suas gentis primaveras Um desperdício de flor Onde andará Nicanor? Tinha amor pro porto inteiro Um peito de remador Ah, quem me dera as morenas Pra consolar suas penas Para abrandar seucalor
Olha elas sempre aflitas Bata o vento ou caia chuva Cada uma mais bonita E mais viúva Todas elas fazem ninho Da saudade e da virtude Mas carinho Queira Deus que Deus ajude
Onde andará Nicanor? Tinha nó de marinheiro Quando amarrava um amor Mas há recantos guardados Nos sete mares rasgados Sete pecados tão bons Onde andará Nicanor?
Iris Composer(s): John Rzeznik First release by: Goo Goo Dolls - 1998 Covered by multiple other artists
And I'd give up forever to touch you Cuz I know that you feel me somehow You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be And I don't want to go home right now
And all I can taste is this moment And all I can breathe is your life Cuz sooner or later it's over I just don't want to miss you tonight
And I don't want the world to see me Cuz I don't think that they'd understand When everything's made to be broken I just want you to know who I am
And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming Or the moment of truth in your lies When everything feels like the movies Yeah, you'd bleed just to know you're alive
And I don't want the world to see me Cuz I don't think that they'd understand When everything's made to be broken I just want you to know who I am
And I don't want the world to see me Cuz I don't think that they'd understand When everything's made to be broken I just want you to know who I am
And I don't want the world to see me Cuz I don't think that they'd understand When everything's made to be broken I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am I just want you to know who I am I just want you to know who I am
Since the first of you and me asleep In a Nibelungen land Titanic curses trap me in A banishment of stay Symbols vanish from my senses Stem and stave the view appears
Symbols captured in a trance Vanish from my glance For the various defenses I enforce a strike the alarm For the various defences That choose to be here and there And lose the direction everywhere
Since the first of you and me asleep In a Nibelungen land where we cannot be Almond trees grow along the mountain trail From their tongues the words are spelling The telling numb
I cannot hear it anymore I cannot hear it anymore
Since the first of you and me here and there We lose the direction everywhere Shrieking city sun shiver in my veins In flames I run In flames I run Waiting for the sign to come
Will you spell the words for me Will you spell the words for me to hear Nibelungen Nibelungen Nibelungen land

Irene Wilde Composer(s): Ian Hunter First release by: Ian Hunter - 1976
When I was just sixteen - I stood waiting for a dream - at Barker Street bus station every night When I tried to get it on - she just looked at me with scorn - my courage turned to dust and I took flight
For those looks they seemed to say You ain't nuthin' - Go away You're just a face in the crowd so I went home and I vowed I'm gonna be somebody - someday
Her name was Irene Wilde - Oh such beauty for a child When she started dating boys - I nearly died For I could not barely stand to see someone hold her hand I felt I had to crawl away and hide In my mother's living room I composed so many tunes All the same - just a frame - for her name, and just to say Gonna be somebody - someday
Wild as your name I soon left that country town I been around, seen some fame, seen some ups and seen some downs Smile through your shock when you hear your name aloud It's that face in the crowd - didn't dig it - much too proud...
When I was just sixteen I stood waiting for a dream A Barker Street bus station non affair At the time it seemed so sad, but it did not turn out bad If you hadn't messed me up I'd still be there And I think most folks agree, a little put-down makes them see They ain't no chain - just a link and that's why you made me think Gonna be somebody - be somebody - be somebody - someday

Demain matin je m'en vais prendre le train Je t'en prie ne pleure pas Après demain j'aimerais que les gazettes Ne me parlent pas de toi
Les dentelles fraîches, la la la De tes grands mouchoirs lilas Ont vu plus d'écume, la la la Que les chutes du Niagara Hey! Niagara Je t'en prie entre nous Retiens toi Hey! Hey! Hey! Une montagne qui pleure Oui c'est bien toi
Niagara Je t'oublie, tu m'oublies Restons-en là... Hey! Hey! Hey! Ne vas pas faire une baignoire D'un petit rien
Demain matin si c'était mon dernier train Je t'en prie ne t'affole pas Après demain n'achète pas les gazettes Même si elles parlaient de moi
Hey! Niagara Je t'oublie, tu m'oublies Restons-en là Hey! Hey! Hey! Et si je t'appelle comme ça C'est que ça t'va Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Niagara C'est que ça t'va
