Blue Pacific Blues Composer(s): Lester Lee - Ned Washington Performer(s): Jo Ann Greer
I'm gettin' the blue pacific blues The feelin' ya get from real bad news I wanna hear bells, I wanna see trains I get in this mood whenever it rains I'm gettin' the blues
Alone in the dark and sultry night Ya'd think of the times ya ain't done right To add to the fact your feelin' so bad the cry of the birds keeps drivin' you mad I got the blues
Ya lie awake and how you wish that it was mornin' and then ya smoke a hundred cigarettes or more That devil rain continues poundin' at your window And the tropic winds, keep howlin' at your door
Because of all the rain and mud The feel of the place gets in your blood But deep in the night there comes unawares the terrible thought that nobody cares Your back with the blues-again
To be even more specific You've got what they call-the blue pacific blues
Cachito
Composer(s): Consuelo Velázquez
Performer(s): Nat King Cole
and multiple other artists
Cachito, Cachito, Cachito mio
Pedazo de cielo que Diós me dió
Te miro y te miro y al fin
Bendigo bendigo la suerte de ser tu amor
Me preguntan por que eres mi cachito
Y yo siento muy bonito al responder
Por que eres de mi vida un pedazito
Que yo quiero como a nadie he de querer
Cachito ... cachito mio
Tu eres el amorsito de mamá ... y de papá
Cachito ... Cachito mio
Tu eres el amorsito de papá ... y de mamá
A tu lado yo no sê lo que es tristeza
Y las horas se me pasan sin sentir
Tu me miras y yo pierdo la cabeza
Y lo único que puedo es repetir
Fado Composer(s): Michele Vendome; Henri Decker Performer(s): Dalida
Fado, fado Le Portugal te doit ces nuits blanches Quand on fond de l'ombre tu te penches Offrant ta fraîcheur sous le ciel chaud
Fado, fado Le soir sur la place on se rassemble Et dés que ta voix ce fait entendre Toutes les mères rythment le fado
Tous les curs Te confis leurs espoirs et leurs peines Le bonheur ce confond enfin avec les pleurs Grâce au
Fado, fado Quand la femme au châle noir te chante C'est tout un monde que l'on invente Rien que pour un refrain de fado
La la la
Fado, fado Pour deux étrangers venus t'entendre Le bonheur ne s'est pas fait attendre Car l'amour aime bien le fado Fado, fado On s'est regardé sans rien ce dire Aussitôt tu fleuris en sourire Nos curs ce sont compris sans un mot
Dans ma main En tremblant il pose sa main douce Et soudain pour nos deux curs Il ne dit plus rien Que le
Fado, fado Rythmons cet amour devenu notre Nous sommes partis l'un contre l'autre Tandis que s'éloigne le fado
That's My Home Composer(s): Ben Ellison - Leon Rene - Otis Rene Performer(s): Louis Armstrong
When sunset in the sky And flowers never die, yeas And friends don't pass you by Because that's my home Oh where the folks say howdedo And they really mean it too Where mama's love is true Because that's my home
I'm always welcomed back No matter where I roam Just a ltttle old shack to me Is home sweet home Where the swanny river flows Where the shady pine trees grow Then I know that's my home
Caché Derrière Mes Poings
Composer(s): Giles Thibaut - Jean Renard
Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday
J'ai, caché derrière mes poings J'ai vu Joe Les Grandes Dents Monsieur 120 pour cent Caché au premier rang Ses cent kilos tassés Dans une place à 1000 francs
Quand il a vu ma droite Il a jeté son cigare Et dans ses yeux j'ai vu Des valises de dollars J'ai vu qu'il me fallait Gagner ce soir
Caché, caché derrière mes poings J'ai vu madame la foule Avec monsieur les gens M'insulte au bord des gants Prêt à me faire souffrir Ou bien à m'applaudir
À moitié fossoyeur Et à moitié vampire Et dans leurs yeux j'ai vu J'ai vu des mises à mort J'ai vu qu'il me fallait Gagner ce soir
Caché, caché derrière mes poings J'ai vu l'homme à abattre On était frères ennemis Si c'est pas moi c'est lui Et j'étais l'ascenseur Et lui le toboggan
Quand y a un homme qui monte Y en a un qui descend Et dans ses yeux j'ai vu Un loup devenir chien Et j'ai vu que j'allais Gagner ce soir
Mesdames, mesdemoiselles, messieurs Ce soir au célèbre Palais des Sports de Paris Grand combat international de poids moyen En dix reprises de trois minutes
À ma droite Directement venu d'Amérique Et candidat au titre de Champion du Monde Le bombardier noir de New-York Lesther Wilson
À ma gauche 72 kilos 500 L'actuel Champion du Monde des poids moyens Johnny Hallyday
Caché, caché derrière mes poings J'ai vu au troisième rang Une fille qui s'en allait Comme un fou j'ai crié Alors elle s'est retournée Et dans ses yeux j'ai vu Ce qu'elle pensait de moi Un homme sans foi ni loi Qui à la mort aux doigts
Faded Love Composer(s): Bob Wills; Johnnie Lee Wills Performer(s): Patsy Cline; and various other artists
As I look at the letters That you wrote to me It's you that I'm thinking of As I read the lines That to me were so sweet I remember our faded love
I miss you, darling More and more, every day As heaven would miss the stars above With every heartbeat I still think of you And remember our faded love
I think of the past And all the pleasures we had As I watch the mating of the doves It was in the springtime that you said goodbye I remember our faded love
I miss you, darling More and more every day As heaven would miss the stars above With every heartbeat I still think of you And remember our faded love
Thats My Girl Composer(s): Duke Ellington - Ray Ellington - Barbara Tobias Performer(s): Nat King Cole
Thats my girl, Take a look at her she belongs to me Yes thats my girl, hand off, dont touch She looks just like an angel But shes human all the same So Im not taking chances I wont tell her address or even her name Cos thats my girl Im adding her to my family And I love that girl and everythings fine So until the day that she says Yes Im keeping my fingers crossed Cos thats my girl, and shes gonna stay mine
Thats my girl, you hear me Im adding her to my family And I love that girl and everythings fine So until the day that she says Yes Im keeping my fingers crossed Cos thats my girl and shes gonna stay mine Shes all mine, every curve and line And even those dark brow curls Now lay off... thats my girl
Não conheço seu nome ou paradeiro Adivinho seu rastro e cheiro Vou armado de dentes e coragem Vou morder sua carne selvagem Varo a noite sem cochilar, aflito Amanheço imitando o seu grito Me aproximo rondando a sua toca E ao me ver você me provoca Você canta a sua agonia louca Água me borbulha na boca Minha presa rugindo sua raça Pernas se debatendo e o seu fervor Hoje é o dia de graça Hoje é o dia da caça e do caçador
Eu me espicho no espaço feito um gato Pra pegar você, bicho do mato Saciar a sua avidez mestiça Que ao me ver se encolhe e me atiça Que num mesmo impulso me expulsa e abraça Nossas peles grudando de suor Hoje é o dia da graça Hoje é o dia da caça e do caçador
De tocaia fico a espreitar a fera Logo dou-lhe o bote certeiro Já conheço seu dorso de gazela Cavalo brabo montado em pelo Dominante, não se desembaraça Ofegante, é dona do seu senhor Hoje é o dia da graça Hoje é o dia da caça e do caçador
Factory Girl Composer(s): Mick Jagger; Keith Richards Performer(s): The Rolling Stones; and various other artists
Waiting for a girl who's got curlers in her hair Waiting for a girl she has no money anywhere We get buses everywhere Waiting for a factory girl
Waiting for a girl and her knees are much too fat Waiting for a girl who wears scarves instead of hats Her zipper's broken down the back Waiting for a factory girl
Waiting for a girl and she gets me into fights Waiting for a girl we get drunk on Friday night She's a sight for sore eyes Waiting for a factory girl
Waiting for a girl and she's got stains all down her dress Waiting for a girl and my feet are getting wet She ain't come out yet Waiting for a factory girl
Cable A Tierra
Composer(s): Fito Páez
Performer(s): Fito Páez; Abel Pintos
Si estas entre volver no volver si ya metiste demasiado en tu nariz si estas como cegado de poder tirate un cable a tierra y si tu corazón ya no va mas si ya no existe conexión con los demás si estas igual que un barco en alta mar tirate un cable a tierra y yo estoy acercándome hasta vos bajo la luna, bajo la luna las cosas son así tengo el teléfono del freak que esta deseoso de volarte la cabeza en un par de minutos sale el sol si ya no hay nada que anestesie tu dolor si no llegas, si no alcanzas a verme tirate un cable a tierra no creas que perdió sentido todo no dificultes la llegada del amor no hables de mas, escucha el corazón ese es el cable a tierra
Factory Composer(s): Bruce Springsteen Performer(s): Bruce Springsteen; Arizona Smoke Revue; Kevin Kinsella; Melissa McClelland; The Mighty Echoes
Early in the morning factory whistle blows Man rises from bed and puts on his clothes Man takes his lunch, walks out in the morning light It's the working, the working, just the working life
Through the mansions of fear
through the mansions of pain I see my daddy walking
through them factory gates in the rain Factory takes his hearing, factory gives him life The working, the working, just the working life
End of the day, factory whistle cries Men walk through these gates with death in their eyes And you just better believe, boy somebody's gonna get hurt tonight It's the working, the working, just the working life
Cabin On The Hill Composer(s): Bolivar Lee Shook Performer(s): The Mullins Family and multiple other artists
There's a happy childhood home in my mem'ry I can see Standing out upon the hill neath the shadow of the tree If I only had my way, it would give my heart a thrill Just to simply wander back to the cabin on the hill Oh, I want to wander back to the cabin on the hill Neath the shadow of the tree I would like to linger still Just to be with those I love, joy my heart would overfill Just to simply wander back to the cabin on the hill But the saddest of it all, I can never more return To that happy childhood home, matters not how much I yearn If I only had my way, it would give my heart a thrill Just to simply wander back to the cabin on the hill Oh, I want to wander back to the cabin on the hill Neath the shadow of the tree I would like to linger still Just to be with those I love, joy my heart would overfill Just to simply wander back to the cabin on the hill Oh, I want to wander back to the cabin on the hill Neath the shadow of the tree I would like to linger still Just to be with those I love, joy my heart would overfill Just to simply wander back to the cabin on the hill
Facing The Wind Composer(s): Nico Performer(s): Nico
It's holding me against my will And doesn't leave me still Amazons are riding out To find a meaning for The name, my name In the rain My spinning on my Name In the rain, in the rain
When did it begin? When did it begin? Why am I not facing the wind?
My mother and my brother Are facing the wind Why are they facing the wind? Why are they facing the wind?
There's nothing more to sing about Not now or when they carry me away In the rain My spinning on my name in the rain My spinning on my name in the rain In the rain
When did it begin? When did it begin? Why are they facing the wind?
That's Love Composer(s): Gilbert O'Sullivan Performer(s): Gilbert O'Sullivan
Once in a while, out of the blue I might appear somewhat rude But don't be alarmed or get upset Just say to yourself this I'll forget And when I come home after being away It might do me good just to hear you say Darlin' don't move an inch, keep perfectly still Now do with me what you will Sometime ago before we met I vowed to myself that I'd never let No-one at all ever tie me down Never dreaming that I'd see you around Now isn't it strange wherever you go It's always the same with whoever you know Which just goes to prove what I've been trying to say Looking at you the way I do (that's love) Promising always to be true (that's love) Giving each other a helping hand (that's love) Sharing each other's every plan, that's love And in love you do And isn't it strange wherever you go It's always the same with whoever you know Which just goes to prove what I've been dying to say Holding you now the way I do (that's love) Knowing full well you want me to (that's love) Telling each other how we feel (that's love) Knowing inside it must be real, that's love And in love it's true
Cabin In The Sky Composer(s): Vernon Duke - John Latouche First performance by: Ethel Waters & Dooley Wilson - 1940 Covered by multiple other artists
In this cloudy sky overhead now There's no guiding star I can see And I would be lost by each wild tempest tossed Oh, if I didn't know of a place we two can go ...
There's a little cabin in the sky, Mister For me and for you I feel that it's true somehow
Can't you see that cabin in the sky, Mister An acre or two of heavenly blue to plow
We will be oh so gay Eat fried chicken every day As the angels go sailing by
And that is why my heart is flyin' high, Mister 'Cause I know we'll have a cabin in the sky
We will be oh so gay Eat fried chicken every day As the angels go sailing by
That is why my heart is flying high, baby 'Cause I know we'll have a cabin in the sky
Face To Face Composer(s): Danny Elfman - Siouxsie And The Banshees Performer(s): Siouxsie And The Banshees
Face to face my lovely foe Mouth to mouth raining heaven's blows Hand on heart tic tac toe Under the stars naked as we flow Cheek to cheek the bitter sweet Commit your crime in your deadly time
Commit your crime in your deadly time It's too divine I want to bend I want this bliss but something says I must resist
Another life another time We're Siamese twins writhing intertwined Face to face no telling lies The masks they slide to reveal a new disguise
You never can win it's the state I'm in This danger thrills and my conflict kills They say follow your heart follow it through But how can you when you're split in two?
And you'll never know You'll never know
One more kiss before we die Face to face and dream of flying Who are you? who am I? Wind in wings two angels falling To die like this with a last kiss It's falsehood's flame it's a crying shame Face to face the passions breathe I hate to stay but then I hate to leave
Cabin In The Sky
Composer(s): Johnny Burke - Edgar Leslie
Performer(s): Fats Waller
In the cabin high in the sky It was the cabin of a passenger plane And I was dreaming of a castle in Spain When I laid eyes on you
In the cabin high in the sky The day was cloudy, there was rain in the air And as you sat there in the opposite chair, oh baby Your sunny smile came through
There was an invitation in the note you gave me I couldn't very well refuse And from the moment that you started to enslave me I had everything to win, nothin' to lose
In the cabin high in the sky 'Twas like a dreamhouse in the heavenly glow I saw an angel and I let myself go I fell in love with you
