Biggest Aspidistra In The World Composer(s): Connor - Haines - Harper Performer(s): Gracie Fields
For years we had an aspidestra in a flower pot On the whatnot, near the hatstand, in the hall It didnt seem to grow till one day our brother Joe Had a notion that hed make it strong and tall So hes crossed it with an acorn from an oak tree And hes planted it against the garden wall
It shot up like a rocket till it nearly reached the sky Its the biggest aspidestra in the world We couldnt see the top of it, it got so bloomin high Its the biggest aspidestra in the world When fathers had a snoot-full at his pub The Bunch of Grapes He doesnt go all fighting-mad and getting into scrapes oh no Youll find him in his bare skin playing Tarzan of the Apes On the biggest aspidestra in the world
We have to get it watered by the local fire brigade So they put the water rates up half a crown The roots top up the drains, grow along the country lanes And they come up half a mile outside the town
Once we had an auditorium for a hothouse But a jealous rival went and burnt it down The tomcats and their sweethearts love to spend their evenings out Up the biggest aspidestra in the world They all begin meeowing when the buds begin to sprout From the biggest aspidestra in the world
The dogs all come around for miles a lovely sight to see They sniff around for hours and hours and wag their tails with glee So Ive had to put a notice up to say its not a tree Its the biggest aspidestra in the world
Canción Del Silencio Composer(s): D.A.R. Performer(s): Léon Gieco
Silencio, señores grandes que despiertan los cuentos del parque Ellos esperan las nuevas risas en las treinta vueltas de una calesita Ellos esperan las nuevas risas sobre la esperanza llamada sortija
Silencio, señores grandes que despiertan las leyendas Tal vez pintadas o dibujadas en el redondo borde de las plantas Tal vez pintadas o dibujadas En el vaiven solitario de una hamaca
El silencio no es una palabra escrita sobre una pared Es una cancion solitaria por el viento que no se detiene en el medio de un infierno Es una cancion solitaria por el viento que no se detiene en el medio de un infierno ho ho oho
Silencio, señores grandes que despiertan las historias Adormecidas en los parques debajo de un tobogan o un banco gris Adormecidas en los parques cobijadas por un copo de maiz
Silencio, señores grandes que las dulces fabulas despiertan Ellas estan acurrucadas en el vientre de un mordisco de manzana Ellas estan acurrucadas en el bostezo de una hormiga trasnochada
Feelin' Alright
((Italian Version: Tu Vedi Mai Cerchi Bianchi E Neri? (by Riki Maiocchi))
Composer(s): Dave Mason
First release by: Traffic - 1968
Covered by multiple other artists
Seems I got to have a change of scenes
Everynight I have the strangest dreams
Imprisoned by the way it could have been
Left he are on my own or so it seemed
I got to leave before I start to scream
Before someone locks the door and takes to keys
Feelin' alright, I'm not feelin' to good myself
Feelin' alright, I'm not feelin' to good myself
(little girl)
Boy you shelter me with warmth and rye
And even now I sit and I wonder why
That when I think of you, I start myself to cry
Just can't waste my time, I must get by
Gotta stop believin', in all your lies
Well there's too much to do before I die
Feelin' alright, I'm not feelin' to good myself
Feelin' alright, I'm not feelin' to good myself
(little girl)
Ooh don't you get too lost, in all I say
In a better time, you know I really found that way
But that was then and now you know it's today...
I can't get set for it, guess I'm here to stay
Till someone comes along and takes my place
With a different name, and a different face
Feelin' alright, I'm not feelin' to good myself
Feelin' alright, I'm not feelin' to good myself
(little girl)
The Bigger The Fool (The Harder The Fall) Composer(s): Kris Kristofferson Performer(s): Kris Kristofferson
Hey, doesn't it still look easy as it did to you Hey, wasn't it true, after all I couldn't help myself, girl And I can't blame you The bigger the fool, the harder the fall
Living on old illusions, and some make believe That mattered to me, most of all Closing my eyes to changes I've refused to see The bigger the fool, the harder the fall
Somewhere in your future, on the far side of your world You might read my writing on the wall And think of the easy dreamer who believed in you The bigger the fool, the harder the fall
If someday you wake up in a world that's turned on you And nobody answers when you call Hey, think of the easy dreamer who believes in you The bigger the fool, the harder the fall
Think of the crazy dreamer who believes in you The bigger the fool, the harder the fall
Canción Del Perdón
Composer(s): Horacio Guarany
Performer(s): Horacio Guarany
Si vuelves algún día no expliques tu regreso que sea como si nunca sucedió tu abandono Resume tus palabras tan sólo con un beso que yo con la mirada diré si te perdono No es que pierda mi orgullo ni te dé la razón a veces en la vida nos ciega una quimera y olvidamos la pena de otro corazón que sufre las angustias terribles de la espera... Lo importante entre aquellos que siempre se han querido y que mantienen viva la prímera ilusión es llegar al final, seguros, muy unidos tomados de la mano, cantando una canción
The Big Ones Get Away Composer(s): Buffy Sainte-Marie Performer(s): Buffy Sainte-Marie
Hey, Baby I just got back from town where the bribes are paid Honey, they turned my offer down they say the deal's already made So now Igotta stand and watch while it all comes down and the buzzards and the hawks and the judges and the mob circle around Now if I were the queen of all the world I would 90 in chains just to see you free of the ropes that bind you and the role you play and the pride that hooks you while the big ones get away Love junkies wanna change the world: it quickly stays the same Money junkies hire all the smart ones Power junkies run the game One step at a time Polarity Hill If the bad guys don't get you Baby then the good guys will With angels on the take and the gangsters in the yard Hey don't the wars come easy Hey don't the peace come hard Now if I had a way to reach the sky I'd grab that crescent moon wield it like a knife save you from the lies From the ropes that bind you and the role you play and the game that hooks you while the big ones get away

The Big Hurt Composer(s): Wayne Shanklin First release by: Miss Toni Fisher - 1959 Covered by multiple other artists
Now it begins, now that you've gone Needles and pins, twilight till dawn Watching that clock till you return Lighting that torch and watching it burn
Now it begins, day after day This is my night, ticking away Waiting to hear footsteps that say "Love will appear and this time to stay"
Oh, each time you go I try to pretend It's over at last This time the big hurt will end
Now it begins, now that you've gone Needles and pins, twilight till dawn But if you go, come back again I wonder when, oh when will it end? The big hurt
Canción Del Jangadero
Composer(s): Eduardo Falú - Jaime Dávalos
Performer(s): Juan Carlos Baglietto
and multiple other artists
Rio abajo voy llevando la jangada rio abajo por el alto Parana es el peso de la sombra derrumbada que buscando el horizonte bajará Rio abajo, rio abajo, rio abajo a flor de agua voy sangrando esta canción ve el sueño de la vida y el trabajo se me vuelve camalote el corazón
Jangadero...jangadero mi destino sobre el rio es derivar desde el fondo del obraje maderero con el anhelo del agua que se va
Padre rio, tus escamas de oro vivo son el sueño que nos llevan mas allá vamos tras el horizonte fugitivo y la sangre con el agua se nos va Banda a banda, sol y luna, cielo y agua espejismo que no acaba de pasar piel de barro, fabulosa lampalagua me devora la pasión de navegar
Feel The Love Composer(s): Graham Gouldman; Eric Michael Stewart Performer(s): 10 cc
I saw you so pretty Your face lit up the city Two worlds came together The memory stays for evermore So different your fashion You were the main attraction Heads turning in wonder I felt myself go under (Oomachasaooma...) `Ooh I'm a drowning man Save me please I need you so give me a helping hand
Chorus Nothing can stop you when you Feel the love No chains can hold you when you Feel the love Don't try to fight it when you Feel the love Nobody matters but the one you love My intro I fumble My facade starts to crumble So strange your reaction I made the right connection now You got me no bother I can't see any other The world keeps on turning I wouldn't care if it was burning (Oomachasaooma...) `Ooh I'm a drowning man Save me please I need you so give me a helping hand
Chorus
It's a million to one You should find the right door But there's no guarantee You'll find what you're looking for Don't give up if you blow it the first time around But you've got to beware If you're walking on air Keep your feet on the ground (Keep your feet on the ground) Don't stop me I'm not dreaming I can't ignore this feeling Your love is my lifeline You're so right so fine so glad you're mine (Oomachasaooma...) `Ooh I'm a drowning man Save me please I need you so give me a helping hand

Feel The Breeze Composer(s): Graham Russell Performer(s): Air Supply
Since I met you How can I notice if the sky is blue or grey But here I am Standing outside looking into a cloudy day This must be the time for reflection My direction is not quite clear Now I feel the air is colder Now I feel that winter's here
Feel the breeze, we're coming to winter Feel the breeze, we're coming to winter Feel the breeze, we're coming to winter Feel the breeze, we're coming to winter
I feel the breeze, I feel dejected I feel a part of a love that's gone
We're in this world to take some chances from your glances I see it's wrong Winter's here, and it's a long one to be alone and in the cold Brother sun, you cast a shadow now I need my lonely role
Feel the breeze, we're coming to winter Feel the breeze, we're coming to winter Feel the breeze, we're coming to winter Feel the breeze, we're coming to winter

Canción Del Adios Composer(s): Horacio Guarany Performer(s): Horacio Guarany and multiple other artist
Te digo adiós y acaso te quiero todavía no sé si he de olvidarte pero te digo adiós no sé si me quisiste no sé si te quería o tal vez nos quisimos demasiado los dos Este cariño mío apasionado y loco me lo sembré en el alma para quererte a ti no sé si te amé mucho no sé si te amé poco pero sí sé que nunca volveré a amar así Me queda tu sonrisa grabada en el recuerdo y el corazón me dice que no te olvidaré pero al quedarme solo sabiendo que te pierdo quizás comience a amarte como jamás te amé Te digo adiós y acaso con esta despedida mi más hermoso sueño muera dentro de mi pero te digo adiós para toda la vida aunque toda la vida siga pensándo en ti
Feel The Benefit Composer(s): Graham Gouldman; Eric Stewart Performer(s): 10 cc
You went out on the street without your shoes on You didn't listen to what your momma said She said you won't feel the benefit, won't feel the benefit And if we all went out without our shoes on Tell me where would we be, where would we be
If all the people in the world lost their reason What would we see, where would we be If all the entertainers in the world lost their music What would they play, what could they say To pacify the crowd, to justify themselves Won't feel the benefit
You're like a cloud behind the sun Like the face behind the clown You're moving like the wrinkles in a frown And you can never look back A leaf that's borne upon the wind A cardboard suitcase in your hand The wanderer soon returns And finds the colour of the grass is just the same On the other side of the tracks, oh no
A Latin Break
Ooh when you smile it's like a holiday Ooh pack your bags and we can get away We'll float on a Queen down to Rio There's no need to shave We'll be stinking like rum in a punch
You can walk on the water You can dabble in the mumbo jumbo You can smoke a little ganja Float like a cloud over Rio, Rio You can ride with the Gauchos Swinging your bolas in a red bandana You can run with the devil Taking your chances with Señorita
You can drink a lot of coffee in Brazil But the bill is gonna make you ill
Feel The Benefit
So, you can go out on the street and take your chances But if you do, you better do it right Or you won't feel the benefit, won't feel the benefit Spin the wheel and take your chances And your number might come up Though the odds may be in favour of the house
If all the people in the world would say together We're all black and white, we're all day and night If all the people in the world could sing together How would it sound, what would we feel
The Big Blue Sky Composer(s): Jerry Livingston - Mack David Performer(s): Dean Martin & Jerry Lewis
Gonna fly fly away over the mountain Gonna fly fly away over the sea Gonna keep flying around and never never come down 'Cause the big blue sky is the place for me
Got a gal out in Wyoming and a gal in Tennessee One thing they got in common they want no part of me Oh a girl here on earth is more trouble than she's worth So I'll leave them all behind yesiree
(Gonna fly fly away over the mountain) (DM) Mountain (Both) Gonna fly fly away over the sea (Both) Gonna keep flying around and never never come down (Both) 'Cause the big blue sky is the place for me
You will find me playing leap frog with the man up in the moon Have myself a time each evening sleep each day 'til noon And the bluebirds I'll bet let sing in their quartet And we'll harmonize a barbershop too
(Both) Gonna fly fly away over the mountain (Both) Gonna fly fly away over the sea (Both) Gonna keep flying around and never never come down (Both) 'Cause the big blue sky is the place for me
Gonna hobknob with the angels who would want a better crowd Gonna dance all over heaven and boy will I be proud Gonna play peek-a-boo with the stars up in the blue And when I get tired I'll rest on a cloud
Gonna fly fly away over the mountain Gonna fly fly away over the sea Gonna keep flying around and never never come down 'Cause the big blue sky is the place I want to be Gonna fly away over the sea Yes the big blue sky is the place for me
Canción De Navidad
Composer(s): Silvio Rodríguez
Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez
El fin de año huele a compras enhorabuenas y postales con votos de renovación y yo que sé del otro mundo que pide vida en los portales me doy a hacer una canción La gente luce estar de acuerdo maravillosamente todo parece afín al celebrar Unos festejan sus millones otros la camisita limpia y hay quien no sabe qué es brindar
Mi canción no es del cielo las estrellas, la luna porque a ti te la entrego que no tienes ninguna
Mi canción no es tan sólo de quien pueda escucharla porque a veces el sordo lleva más para amarla
Tener no es signo de malvado y no tener tampoco es prueba de que acompañe la virtud pero el que nace bien parado en procurarse lo que anhela no tiene que invertir salud
Por eso canto a quien no escucha a quien no dejan escucharme a quien ya nunca me escuchó al que su cotidiana lucha me da razones para amarle a aquel que nadie le cantó
Mi canción no es del cielo las estrellas, la luna porque a ti te la entrego que no tienes ninguna
Mi canción no es tan sólo de quien pueda escucharla porque a veces el sordo lleva más para amarla
