Fairy Moon Composer(s): Charles K. Harris Performer(s): Grace Edmonds
Is my lover false or true, or only fooling me
tell me my Fairy Moon Is he coming out tonight to meet his little girl
come to spoon? I will meet him at the gate and for his loving kiss I'll wait for you know I love him so, won't you make him hurry I'm as lonesome as can be, he's so slow
Can't you see I'm lonely now, where can my sweetheart be, tell me my Fairy Moon Does he love another girl instead of little me, Fairy Moon? There's a cloud before your face I see, perhaps you pity me is it just because you know just the same I love him still with all my heart and soul, tell him so
Fairy Moon to you I'm sighing, Fairy Moon, to you I'm crying for you know my heart's own secrets, and I crave one little boon Fairy Moon my golden bubble, won't you help me in my trouble tell me is my sweetheart true, my Fairy Moon

Cadeau ((Adapted from: No Charge (by Melba Montgomery) - 1974)) ((Danish Version: Ingen Regning (by Peter Belli) - 1978)) Composer(s): Harlan Howard - Marie Laforêt Performer(s): Marie Laforêt - 1974
Marie Laforêt: Hier soir, dans la cuisine je préparais le dîner, quand mon petit garçon est entré Il m'a tendu un morceau de papier griffonné J'ai essuyé mes mains sur mon tablier et je l'ai lu Et voici ce qu'il disait
L'enfant: Pour avoir fait mon lit toute la semaine 3 francs Pour avoir été aux commissions 1 franc Pour avoir surveillé le bébé pendant que toi tu allais aux commissions 1 franc 25 Pour avoir descendu la corbeille à papiers 75 centimes Pour avoir remonté la corbeille à papiers 1 franc et 10 centimes Pour avoir arrosé les fleurs sur le balcon 25 centimes Total 9 francs et 85 centimes
Marie Laforêt: Je l'ai regardé, il se tortillait en mâchant son crayon et une foule de souvenirs sont revenus à ma mémoire Alors j'ai repris son crayon, j'ai retourné la feuille et voilà ce que j'ai écrit
Marie Laforêt: Pour neuf mois de patience et douze heures de souffrance Cadeau Pour tant de nuits de veille, surveillant ton sommeil Cadeau Pour les tours de manège, les jouets, le collège Cadeau Et quand on fait le tour, le total de mon amour C'est Cadeau
Marie Laforêt: Quand il a eu fini de lire, il avait un gros chagrin dans les yeux Il a levé la tête et a dit
"M'Man, je t'aime très beaucoup"
Il a repris son papier, l'a retourné, et en grosses, grosses lettres, a marqué
"Cadeau"
Marie Laforêt: Et quand on fait le tour, le total de l'amour C'est Cadeau, C'est Cadeau
Fairly In The Money Now Composer(s): Tommy Tate; The Torpedoes Performer(s): The Undertones
Tommy always said he'd make it one day Lead singer in a top show band So with some friends made up tunes to play Tommy Tate and the Torpedoes began
Soon they were the rave of all the high school hops And satin suits all dressed to kill Soon Tommy's boys became top of the pops But then the money came over the hill But then the money came over the hill
All the cash to spend on their girlfriends Howard Hughes is missed a turn there And then their interests Are manager's requests They all bought their ranches
Hypnotised by every part that arrived Higher prices for indifferent songs But never the less Tommy's into success So his Torpedoes kept plodding on And his Torpedoes kept plodding on
That's The Way Composer(s): Alan Blaikley - K. Howard Performer(s): The Honeycombs
That's the way we should begin it Take my hand I lead you oh so gently That's the way you set me dreaming That's the way I hit the ceiling With your size and in your eyes I see that that's the way we'll fall in love
Tell me (tell me) That you really love me (I love you) Tell me you really need me So I am sure
That's the way you set me singing That's the way are those bells ringing Though you're shy you know I really wants you All the way don't keep me waiting No delay, no, no, no hesitating Here we go just keep on holding tight And that's the way we'll fall in love
Tell me (tell me) That you really love me (I love you) Tell me you really need me So I am sure
That's the way there's nothing in it That's the way we should begin it Take my hand I lead you oh so gently That's the way we'll fall in love We'll fall in love We'll fall in love

That's The Way Composer(s): Jimmy Page - Robert Plant First release by: Led Zeppelin - 1970 Covered by multiple other artists
I don't know how I'm gonna tell you I can't play with you no more I don't know how I'm gonna do what mama told me My friend, the boy next door I can't believe what people saying You're gonna let your hair hang down I'm satisfied to sit here working all day long You're in the darker side of town
And when I'm out I see you walking Why don't your eyes see me Could it be you've found another game to play What did mama say to me
That's the Way Oh, that's The Way it ought to be Yeah, yeah, mama say That's the Way it ought to stay
And yesterday I saw you standing by the river And weren't those tears that filled your eyes And all the fish that lay in dirty water dying Had they got you hypnotized?
And yesterday I saw you kissing tiny flowers But all that lives is born to die And so I say to you that nothing really matters And all you do is stand and cry
I don't know what to say about it When all you ears have turned away But now's the time to look and look again at what you see Is that the way it ought to stay?
That's the way... That's the way it oughta be Oh don't you know now Mama said... that's the way it's gonna stay, yeah
J'n'ai pas toujours chanté des chansons On s'est divisé autour de mon nom Parfois la colère m'a glissé des doigts Mais ce que j'ai fais c'était bien je crois
J'ai défié les hommes qui truquaient leur jeux J'ai croisé la mort inscrite dans leurs yeux J'ai connu la peur je l'ai maîtrisée Et la moindre erreur j'ai su l'exploiter
À chaque coin de rue se cache une guerre Moi j'aime bien savoir à qui j'ai à faire
Faire face Seuls les aigles voient le soleil en face J'ai toujours su faire face Faire face pour me faire une place
J'ai souillé le lit des plus belles femmes Mes mains dans la nuit corrompaient leurs âmes Que l'on m'ai sifflé, trahi ou aimé L'important pour moi c'était d'exister
Le chagrin la haine la peur Ou même l'amitié Sont des vieux mots Qu'il faut enterrer
Faire face Seuls les aigles voient le soleil en face
Faire face J'ai toujours su faire face
Faire face pour me faire une place
Oh ! Faire face
Faire, faire, faire Faire face Seuls les aigles voient le soleil en face
Oui faire face Seuls les aigles voient le soleil en face
Thats The Beginning Of The End Composer(s): Alex Kramer - Joan Whitney Performer(s): Nat King Cole and multiple other artists
When she don't sweet talk anymore Her kiss ain't like it was before It's time you added up the score, my friend That's the beginning of the end
She keeps you waiting for a date Makes no excuse for being late Wake up and recognize your fate, my friend That's the beginning of the end
What she's doing to you, she did to me But I was in love, so how could I see You'd better get wise, you'd better beware Or one of these days you'll turn around and she won't be there
Don't say that you were never told I know that character of old When she starts straying from the fold, my friend That's the beginning of the end
What she's doing to you, she did to me But I was in love, so how could I see You'd better get wise, you'd better beware Or one of these days you'll turn around and she won't be there
Don't say that you were never told I know that character of old When she starts straying from the fold, my friend That's the beginning of the end Thats the beginning of the end
Comienza el día y una luz sentimental nos envuelve, se va la fabulosa sinfonía universal nos envuelve, vuelve, se va tango sexo, sexo y amor tanto tango, tanto dolor mi vida gira en contradicción jamas conquisté mi corazón mas donde estaba cuando paso lo que paso hablándome al espejo solo?
Vengo de un barrio tan mezquino y criminal quizá te queme, queme, quizás vengo de un barrio siempre a punto de estallar quizá te queme, queme, quizás si de nada sirve vivir buscas algo porque morir el tiempo me ha enseñado a mirar a veces me ha enseñado a callar donde estabas cuando paso lo que paso hablándole al espejo sola es tanta la tristeza y es tan ruin que celebro la experiencia feliz la estupidez del mundo nunca pudo y nunca podrá arrebatar la sensualidad
Busco mi piedra filosofal en los 7 locos en el mar en el cadáver exquisito en no tener piedad en la quinta escénica de la música dentro mío, dentro en el amor
Y el... odio tener que pensar preferiría tu sonrisa a toda la verdad avanzo un paso retrocedo y vuelvo a preguntar que algo cambie para no cambiar jamas todo es imperfecto amor ...y obvio
Fair To Even Odds Composer(s): Robert Hunter; Pete Sears Performer(s): Pete Sears
How long, Jack, till we get to Singapore? How long, Joe, did we sign on for? Better keep bailing while the rain pours down The day crews sleeping and the night crews drowned
Fair to even odds, I wager Fair to even odds, I lay If we make it till the sunrise We can make it through the day
Caught at the border running forty-fives A shot in the back could mean goodbye You know I have been shot before And I didn't lay down and die, no
Fair to even odds, I wager Fair to even odds, I give Fair to even I recover Fair to even odds I live
Lie around and clench my teeth Until my jaws are sore Maybe give up cigarettes Till my lungs don't hurt no more
Shot in the back and drawing flies Flat on my belly with bloodshot eyes This is the life I love the best Devil be welcome to the rest
Fair to even odds, I wager Fair to even I adore Away, away, go from my window Don't you bother me no more
Just how far is this day risen? Move my head so I can see Hear the hot sweet winds of heaven Thick and red as blood to me
Fair to even odds, I wager Fair to even odds, I lay If I make it till the sunrise I can make it through the day
I can hear the hangman's hornpipe Blowing high and low and strong Fare to even odds, dear Annie Play no sweeter when I'm gone
Cada Vez Que Me Amas
Composer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute
Performer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute; Silvio Rodríguez
Tu sed transubstancia mi sudor en vino que bebemos en cada beso Tus pies no se hunden en los lagos de mis lágrimas Tu saliva siembra la luz en la noche de mis ojos Tu voz resucita mis músculos dormidos mis latidos sepultados Tus manos, cuando me tocan, curan mis heridas más invisibles Tu hambre fecunda peces que se multiplican como deseos de humedad en el múltiple pan de mi cuerpo Cada vez que me amas es un milagro
Fair Margaret And Sweet William (aka Lady Margaret And Sweet William) (Traditional) Performer(s): Pete Seeger; and various other artists
Sweet William rose one morning bright And dressed himself in blue "Come tell to me the long lost love Between Lady Margaret and you"
"I know no harm of Lady Margaret," said he "And I hope she knows none of me But tomorrow morning before eight o'clock Lady Margaret my bride shall be"
As Lady Margaret was in her chamber high A-combing up her hair She spied sweet William and his bride As they to the church drew near
She threw down her ivory comb And tossed back her hair And from the room a fair lady came That was seen in there no more
The day being gone and the night being come When most men were asleep Sweet William spied Lady Margaret's ghost A-standing at his bed feet
"How do you like your bed?" she said "And how do you like your sheet? And how do you like the fair lady That lies in your arms asleep?"
"Very well do I like my bed," said he "Very well do I like my sheet But better do I like the fair lady That is standing at my bed feet"
The night being gone and the day being come When most men were awake Sweet William said he was troubled in his head From a dream he had last night
He called his weary waiting maids By one, by two, by three And last of all, with his bride's consent Lady Margaret he went to see
He went unto the parlor door He knocked until he made things ring But none was so ready as her own dear brother To arise and let him in
"Is Lady Margaret in the parlour?" said he "Or is she in the hall Or is she in her chamber high Among the gay ladies all?"
"Lady Margaret is not in the parlour," said he "She is neither in the hall She is in her coffin And a-lying by the wall"
"Tear down, tear down, those milk white sheets They are made of silk so fine That I may kiss Lady Margaret's cheek For ofttimes she has kissed mine"
The first that he kissed was her rosy cheek The next was her dimpled chin The last of all was her clay-cold lips That pierced his heart within
"Tear down, tear down those milk white sheets They are made of silk so fine Today they hang around Lady Margaret's corpse And tomorrow they will hang around mine"
Lady Margaret died of pure, pure love Sweet William died of sorrow They are buried in one burying ground Both side and side together
Out of her grave grew a red rose And out of his a briar They grew in a twining true lover's knot The rose and the green briar
Cada Vez
Composer(s): Carlos Rossi - Robby Ferrante - Al Stillman
Performer(s): Javier Solís
Cada vez, cada vez vida mía que nos vemos no quiero partir todo el oro del mundo daría por poderme quedar junto a ti El azul de tus ojos tan bellos lo guardé dentro del corazón cada vez que me alejo de ellos cada vez es mayor mi pasión
Y aunque lejos de aquí yo me debo marchar tú eres ya para mí el gran amor, amor que nunca he de olvidar Cada vez que yo debo dejarte cada vez mi tristeza es mayor hasta el día que venga a buscarte a entregarte por siempre mi amor
Y aunque lejos de aquí yo me debo marchar tú eres ya para mí el gran amor, amor que nunca he de olvidar Cada vez que yo debo dejarte cada vez mi tristeza es mayor hasta el día que venga a buscarte a entregarte por siempre mi amor a entregarte por siempre mi amor, a entregarte por siempre mi amor
