Era um garoto, que como eu amava os Beatles e os Rolling Stones Girava o mundo sempre a cantar As coisas lindas da América Não era belo mas mesmo assim Havia mil garotas, sim Cantava "Help" and "Ticket to ride" Oh! "Lady Jane" and "Yesterday" Cantava viva a liberdade Mas uma carta sem esperar Da sua guitarra o separou Fora chamado na América Stop! com Rolling Stones Stop! com Beatles songs Mandado foi ao Vietnã Brigar com vietcongs
Era um garoto, que como eu amava os Beatles e os Rolling Stones Girava o mundo mas acabou Fazendo a guerra no Vietnã Cabelos longos não usa mais Não toca a sua guitarra e sim Um instrumento que sempre dá A mesma nota ratá-tatá Não tem amigos Nem mais garotas Só gente morta caindo ao chão Ao seu país não voltará Pois está morto no Vietnã Stop! com Rolling Stones Stop! com Beatles songs No peito coração não há Mas duas medalhas sim

Give Me The Night Composer(s): Rod Temperton Performer(s): George Benson; and various other artists
Whenever dark has fallen you know the spirit of the party starts to come alive Until the day is dawning you can throw out all your blues and hit the city lights 'Cause there's music in the air and lots of loving everywhere so gimme the night Gimme the night
You need the evening action a place to dine, a glass of wine a little late romance It's a chain reaction You'll see the people of the world coming out to dance 'Cause there's music in the air and lots of loving everywhere so gimme the night Gimme the night
So come on out tonight and we'll lead the others on a ride through paradise And if you feel all right then we can be lovers 'cause I see that starlight look in your eyes Don't you know we can fly? Just gimme the night Gimme the night
And if we stay together we'll feel the rhythm of the evening taking us up high Never mind the weather We'll be dancing in the street until the morning light 'Cause there's music in the air and lots of loving everywhere So gimme the night Gimme the night...
Take This Rain Composer(s): Jackson Brown Performer(s): Jackson Brown
It used to be there were two sets of footprints in the sand And there were two silhouettes in the sunset hand in hand But now here beside the sea are the footprints of three And I cant find my own Among the directions theyre all going
Baby its alright Break this chain of love and madness Its alright Take this rain as your new address Its alright Take this rain Its alright Take this rain
Cause Ive been running all over creation out of my mind Trying to keep our hearts beating together all of the time Going crazier every day Watching our love slipping away Cause youre the only home Ive ever wanted And the only light Ive known
But baby its alright Break this chain of love and madness Its alright Take this rain as your new address Its alright Take this rain Its alright Take this rain Youre going to be free
Some people go through life seeing just what they want to see Take the way I went on believing You might still believe in me And I still want the love I always thought our love could be But some things cant be changed Take this rain
Youre going to hear my voice in the morning calling your name And know my love and my desperation were one and the same And where our footprints used to be Therell be nothing but the sea And the tide and the wind and the open sky And the unbroken horizon
Baby its alright Break this chain of love and madness Its alright Take this pain and all this sadness Its alright Make this rain into your fortress Its alright Take this rain Its alright Take this rain Its alright Take this rain Youre going to be free
Take This Job And Shove It Composer(s): David Allan Coe Performer(s): David Allan Coe
Take this job and shove it I ain't workin' here no more My woman done left and took all of the reasons That I was workin' for
You better not try to stand in my way When I'm walkin' out the door Take this job and shove it I ain't workin' here no more
Well, I've been working in this factory Pretty close to 15 years I've seen some of my best friends women Drownin' in a pool of tears
I've seen a lot of kinfolks dyin' I had a lot of bills to pay Lord, I'd give the shirt right often my back If I had the guts to say, say what?
Take this job and shove it I ain't workin' here no more My woman's done left and took all of the reasons That I was workin' for
You better not try to stand in my way When I'm walkin' out the door Take this job and shove it I ain't workin' here no more
The foreman is a regular S.O.B. And the night boss, he's a fool He got himself a brand new flattop haircut Lord, he really thinks that's cool
One of these days I'm gonna blow my top And that's shockin', he's gonna pay it Well I can't wait to see their faces When I get the nerve to say, say what?
Take this job and shove it I ain't workin' here no more My woman done left and took all of the reasons That I was workin' for
You better not try to stand in my way When I'm walkin' out the door Take this job and shove it I ain't workin' here no more Take this job and shove it

Give my heart just a word of sympathy (sympathy) Be as fair to my heart as you can be (you can be) Then if you no longer care for the love that's beating there Take these chains from my heart and set me free
Take these chains from my heart and set me free (set me free)

(Can I) Find The Right Words (To Say)
Composer(s): Jimmy Destri - Debbie Harry
Performer(s): Blondie
Look up the right words The ones for today And use them correctly And mean what I say Answer the questions Crossword confession Interrogation I'm down, can we meet Is it true, do you cheat? How far can I go? How much do you know? What's the definition? How much did she mention? How much does she know? Can I find the right words to say? The right words are so hard to say
It's a challenger puzzle From the magazine section Across with the questions Do the ethics of reference One hundred twenty brain teasers to torment you One hundred thoughts I can't find the right words to say My meaning's not quite getting through The right words are so hard to say Can I find the right words for you?
Let's not hedge our bets 'Cause the odds are dependent Please listen instead Now the whispers are ending The point's misleading As points often do Can I find the right words for you?

Move Over Moon Composer(s): Kate McGarrigle Performer(s): Kate & Anna McGarrigle
My horoscope warns me don't talk to strangers Talk dark and handsome or short bald and plain My soothsayer says to sit tight And wait for my stars to get rearranged
So don't talk to me Don't bother me I'm just waiting for my heavens to change
Move over Moon Get out of Uranus 'cause this house is anxious For the sun to come in 'cause it's on the rise It's on the rise It's time for my new day to begin So move over Moon
I sit at my window By the first light of dawn Tapping on the glass As I worry out loud I'm waiting for a wind to blow And break up this sinister cloud Till the stillness and calm of the early morning snaps With the screeching of tires and the honkin' of the horns They're pushin' and shovin' downtown God knows nerves are frayed and badly torn Still don't talk to me, don't bother me I don't know yet what aspect is formed
Here is my nickel and here is my dime Go down to the corner and buy me the Times And look it up, look it up Tell me if my planets are all in a line All in a line
Move Over Moon Get out of Uranus 'cause this house is anxious for the Sun to come in 'cause it's on the rise, it's on the rise It's time for my new day to begin So Move over Moon
(Come 'Round Here) I'm The One You Need
Composer(s): Eddie Holland - Lamont Dozier - Brian Holland
First release by: The Miracles - 1966
Covered by multiple other artists
Now you say every time you need some affection The one you love goes in another direction And you just sit there in a daze reminiscing When you know some other lips he's been kissing
Now when you need the love he's never shown you come round here And when you need some loving arms to hold you come round here Now I may not be the one you want Oh But I know I'm the one you need Said I may not be the one you want Ooh but I know I'm the one you need
Your life stands still the minute he goes You count the hours just hoping he shows Girl can't you see while you're longing for his touch That I'm the one who loves you so much While you're longing for his embrace You're all alone there with tears on your face
Now when you feel the need to cry to someone cry to me And when you feel the need to lean on someone lean on me Now I may not be the one you want but I sure 'nuff the one you need Oh baby I may not be the one you want ooh but I know I'm the one you need
Now the days the days you sit alone by yourself He's out fooling round with somebody else Leaving you alone here with nothing to do Just waiting 'till he has time for you
Now when the loneliness gets hard to bear girl come round here And when you need a little tender loving care girl come round here Now I may not be the one you want But I know I'm the one you need ...
Take The Long Way Home Composer(s): Rick Davies - Roger Hodgson Supertramp - 1979
So you think you're a Romeo playing a part in a picture-show Take the long way home Take the long way home
Cos you're the joke of the neighborhood Why should you care if you're feeling good Take the long way home Take the long way home
But there are times that you feel you're part of the scenery all the greenery is comin' down, boy And then your wife seems to think you're part of the furniture oh, it's peculiar, she used to be so nice
When lonely days turn to lonely nights you take a trip to the city lights And take the long way home Take the long way home
You never see what you want to see Forever playing to the gallery You take the long way home Take the long way home
And when you're up on the stage, it's so unbelievable unforgettable, how they adore you, But then your wife seems to think you're losing your sanity oh, calamity, is there no way out?
Does it feel that you life's become a catastrophe? Oh, it has to be for you to grow, boy When you look through the years and see what you could have been oh, what might have been if you'd had more time
So, when the day comes to settle down Who's to blame if you're not around? You took the long way home
Move On Up Composer(s): Curtis Mayfield Originally performed by: Curtis Mayfield Covered by various other artists
Hush now child and don't you cry Your folks might understand you by and by Move on up towards your destination You may find from time to time Complications
Bite your lip and take a trip Though there may be wet road ahead You cannot slip So move on up and peace you will find Into the steeple of beautiful people Where there's only one kind
So hush now child and don't you cry Your folks might understand you by and by Just move on up and keep on wishing Remember your dreams are your only schemes So keep on pushing Take nothing less - not even second best And do not obey - you must have your say You can past the test
Take The L (Out Of Lover) Composer(s): Marty Jourard - Martha Davis Performer(s): The Motels; Barbie Anaka
Watching my hands Holding my face One more evening gone to waste No longer do I know my place
Killing time and missing my cues Watching her belong to you Tears could only change my view
Take the "L" out of Lover and it's over Take the "L" out of Lover and it's over
Growing up has always been tough Good intentions never good enough I would take you far away Do anything to make you stay
Take the "L" out of Lover and it's over Take the "L" out of Lover and it's over Take the "L" out of Lover and it's over
Every drink and cigarette All those times we never met There are things we should forget Now it's over, over
Take the "L" out of Lover and it's over Take the "L" out of Lover and it's over Take the "L" out of Lover and it's over Take the "L" out of Lover and it's over Take the "L" out of Lover and it's over Take the "L" out of Lover and it's over
I feel so sad now that she's gone I've been loving that woman too long There is no place to go because my friends have all moved Got nothing but sit in the sun Got tired of crying, guess I'll move on alone
My bed is so empty and my heart is grown cold guess I'll just die before I grow old The place is untidy, that's `cos I ain't done my dirt I just grown tired of thinking Got tired of crying, guess I'll move on alone
