Love Is Fire Composer(s): Lauri Conger - Lorraine Segato Performer(s): The Parachute Club
It's a long dark day When we realize and understand That we've come so far Destiny lies close to home I will do what I can To keep my spirit safe and strong If I fall on the way Nothing ventured, nothing gained
Love is fire Hate is stone We desire What we can't hold (oh no) When there's anger (outa) Outa control Hate is fire Love is stone
Time deals its hand How can we live in tenderness? When the world seems so cold To those who choose to take a stand! Ooo, if I refuse to walk the line (walk the line) Or see my dreams through someone's eyes (you know that) I'II take that chance `Cause nothing ever stays the same
Love is fire Hate is stone We desire Ooo, What we can't hold When there's anger (outa) Outa control Hate is fire, Ooo Love is stone
Love is fire Hate is stone We desire What we cannot hold When there's anger (outa) Outa control yeh Hate is fire Love, love is stone
(you know that) Love is fire (I need to know you'll see me through) Hate is stone (Doesn't matter what we choose to do) We desire, Ooo, What we can't hold When there's anger Runnin' out of control Hate is fire Love, now love is stone
Love is fire Hate is stone We desire What we cannot seem to hold When there's anger It's runnin', runnin' out of control Hate is fire Love is stone
Mirta, De Regreso Composer(s): Adrian Abonizio Performer(s): Juan Carlos Baglietto
De regreso, Mirta ya sabes tres años a la sombra no quiero saber si me fuiste fiel yo se que una mujer valiente se inclina igual para el lado de la sed Servime algo, Mirta parece mentira el verte como antes pero para el que vuelve del infierno ya no hay mas fantasias, solo quiere un tiempo blando pero esto Mirta nunca lo sabrás
No es necesario que estés alegre ni que prendas la luz entré despacio sin que me vea nadie la noche se abre como un abrigo, Mirta y es un sábado más, como dice el tango Mirta contame cómo andas
Hacé de cuenta que estuve navegando es casi lo mismo solo cambia el paisaje abajo el mar, que nuca se ve arriba el cielo, el cielo raso y tu foto en la pared La moda ha cambiado un poco, Mirta Ya no hay ni un pelo largo todos parecen soldados me siento parado en un cementerio me recibió el frio y un nuevo gobierno Mirta no recuerdo ni tu cuerpo
Y ahora me voy, Mirta para vos soy un extraño conocido si no estoy llorando, no ves cómo me la aguanto debajo de la cama asoman sus zapatos Mirta gracias por todo Salgo a la verja, parece que ha llovido en la estación retumba el "Estrella del Norte" "Veni a verme cuando salgas" me dijo el Turco "comes todos los días y no hay problemas de laburo" Solo algunas noches solo algunas noches Salis a trabajar
"B" Movie Box Car Blues
Composer(s): Delbert McClinton
First release by: Delbert & Glen - 1972
Caught a ride into South Dakota With two girls in a light blue Desoto One's name was Jane, the other was plain But they both had racing motors Next I caught a ride with a gamblers wife Lay down, she had a brand new Rambler She parked on the other side of town She layed the Rambler down She said she could dig if I'd knew her
Doing my best to get back to you Ain't nothing I'd rather do Look for me Sunday, gonna be there honey Something special just for you Special just for you
Made a truck stop, toothpick and water Got a ride from a fruit pickers daughter Drove her through the night, let the fruit just right Said All I could eat for a quarter
Next, hopped a train with a hobo woman Said she's from Texas too The way that she did, what she did, when she did what she did to me made me think of you Hey honey made me think of you
Doing my best to get back to you Ain't nothing I'd rather do Look for me Sunday, gonna be there honey Something special just for you Special just for you

Over the mountain Across the sea There's a girl, she's waiting for me

Tell the moon up in the sky Tell the birds that fly-y by That over and over and over the mountain My love waits for me
Into each dark and starry night Oh, what a myst'ry that's sealed so tight Over the mountain, a girl waits for me-ee-ee-ee-ee-ee
Mirror Mirror Composer(s): Dennis Matkosky; Michael Sembello Performer(s): Diana Ross
Mirror, mirror on the wall You said you had the answer to it all You never told me I'd take a fall Mirror, mirror on the wall
You have turned my life Into a paperback novel Words that came to life Inside your little melodrama Chapter one: When I was young I came to you with my problems Chapter two: You promised me Love and anything that I desired
Tell me mirror, mirror Mirror on the wall Thought you said You had the answer to it all Never told me I was gonna take a fall Tell me mirror, mirror, Mirror on the wall
You have nailed my heart Upon the wall for your pleasure You have cast a spell That cannot ever be broken and now my eyes grow tired I watch my picture getting older But I remain the same Trapped in this mirror forever
Tell me mirror, mirror Mirror on the wall Thought you said You had the answer to it all Never told me I was gonna take a fall Tell me mirror, mirror Mirror on the wall
I talk to you each night and I follow your advice You've been wrong What's the price I have to pay For this fairy tale thing called love Let me go
Tell me mirror, mirror Mirror on the wall Thought you said You had the answer to it all Never told me I was gonna take a fall Tell me mirror, mirror Mirror on the wall
Over The Hills To You Composer(s): Russell J. England; Clay Smith
I am coming back my darling Over the hills to you I am riding night and morning Over the hills to you The big red sun is sinking Of you, dear heart, I'm thinking When the light of dawn is gleaming I'll be over the hills with you I've been lonesome for you darling Longing to be with you I've been eager for the journey Over the hills to you Each milestone passed with yearning Marks a stage of my returning In strong arms of love I'll fold you When I'm over the hills with you
Mirror In The Bathroom Composer(s): Roger Charlery; Andy Cox; Everett Morton; Dave Steele; Dave Wakeling Performer(s): The English Beat and various other artists
Mirror in the bathroom please talk free The door is locked just you and me Can I take you to a restaurant that's got glass tables You can watch yourself while you are eating
Mirror in the bathroom I just can't stop it Every Saturday you see me window shopping Find no interest in the racks and shelves Just ten thousand reflections of my own sweet self, self, self...
Mirror in the bathroom You're my mirror in the bathroom You're my mirror in the bathroom You're my mirror in the bathroom...
Mirror in the bathroom Recompense For all my crimes of self defense Cures you whisper make no sense Drift gently into mental illness
Mirror in the bathroom please talk free The door is locked just you and me Can I take you to a restaurant that's got glass tables You can watch yourself while you are eating

Over the green hills and into the sun that's where I feel I ought to be goin' blue sky above me and green earth below don't even matter which way I go Yeah! Ah ah ah ah Ah ah ah ah

Over My Head Composer(s): Christine McVie Performer(s): Fleetwood Mac
You can take me to paradise And then again you can be cold as ice I'm over my head But it sure feels nice
You can take me anytime you like I'll be around if you think you might Love me baby And hold me tight Your mood is like a circus wheel You're changing all the time Sometimes I can't help but feel That I'm wasting all of my time
Think I'm looking on the dark side But everyday you hurt my pride I'm over my head But it sure feels nice I'm over my head But it sure feels nice
Mirándonos Los Dos Composer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute Performer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute
Nos va ocupando una incipiente indiferencia que levanta su voz en silencio precoz avisando que el fantasma del tiempo no vive en la edad sino en la soledad esa prisión donde envejece el corazón Y así es la mismo la noche y el día la cumbre, el abismo la melancolía y el llanto de amor ese espejo de Dios que se empañó, mirándonos los dos Siento que el alma desvaneciendo en nuestros cuerpos lejos de resistir se dispone a morir en la calma Y esa muerte que nadie podrá detener no dejará de ser un paso más ese otro que quedó detrás Y así es lo mismo... La cobardía que nos esposa el uno al otro provocando el temor de afrontar el error que nos guía es la herida que deja el sentido común ese residuo aún de insensatez que nos conduce a la vejez Y así es lo mismo...

Mirage Composer(s): Ritchie Cordell Originally performed by: Tommy James & The Shondells
I see you standin' in the alleys and the hallways, you're gone now I run to touch you but you vanished through the doorways And oh how hard it is to live without you! I loved everything about you. Now I know you're really gone But my imagination is so strong that
I see you coming into view And your face is telling me that you Oh, yeah, oh, wanna be by my side Oh, yeah, oh, now it's finally time Mirage, that's all you are to me Mirage, something I only see
So I keep walkin' through the alleys and the hallways Where are you? I keep remembering the kissin' in the doorways, the car, too How it all comes back to me The movies every Saturday, the place we used to go to eat I want so much to have it like it used to be then
I see you coming into view And your face is telling me that you Oh, yeah, oh, wanna be by my side Oh, yeah, oh, now it's finally time Mirage, that's all you are to me Mirage, something I only see
Just a mirage, that's all you are to me, yes Just a mirage, something that I only see (repeat)

On ne vit pas sans se dire adieu On ne vit pas sans mourir un peu Sans abandonner pour aller plus loin Sur son chemin quelque chose ou quelqu'un
Je suis venu pour te dire adieu Un souvenir, meurt toujours un peu J'ai voulu savoir, ce qu'il m'a resté Du seul amour, qui ait pu compté
Je suis venu pour te dire adieu Ou si tu veux, adieu à nous deux Comme le jour, où tu m'as fait pleuré En me disant adieu à jamais
Oh ce n'était pas ta faute, je le sais Je sais tout ce qu'il allait se passer, allez Ton père et tout ce qu'il a pu te dire Tes études à finir, ton service, ton avenir Et puis cette fille n'est pas pour toi Aujourd'hui tu es une autre Tout est qui finit bien, quand Mais qu'est-ce que j'ai pu t'aimer toi J'avais seize ans, seize ans
On ne vit pas sans se dire adieu On ne vit pas sans mourir un peu J'ai voulu arrêter le temps Le temps de dire, adieu mes seize ans
J'ai voulu dire, adieu mes seize ans Avant d'aller, vers ce qui m'attend

I am just a mirage Oh - I am just a mirage when you look at me thru your crystal glass you will see that I am now your past but you give your love to me In your life I wasn't meant to be Oh I am just a mirage Oh I am just a mirage Just a mirage fading away like water
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh I am just a mirage Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh I am just a mirage I am just a mirage But until that day has come When you say I'll be your only one I will live the way it's meant for me With ups and downs and mystery

Swing high, swing low, upon the trapeze At first youll fall, but then A year from now youll do it with ease Over and over and over again A star does not come out of the sky He starts to work at ten To reach the top, you gotta keep trying Over and over and over and over And over and over again
Its up in the morning and down in the ring Acrobat, rider and clown Queen of the wire and aerial king Work or youll forfeit your crown You stick to your trick And your trick will be art Artists are hard-working men After youre perfect, thats when you first start Over and over again, once again, and again Do it over and over again
(Choir) Swing high, swing low, upon the trapeze At first youll fall, but then A year from now, youll do it with ease Over and over and over and over again To reach the top you gotta keep trying Over and over and over and over And over and over again Over and over again
