Oh, the black-eyed boys They motor-cycled into town The people cried, it's the black-eyed gang All in white, a super bang Oh, the black-eyed boys They laid a rockin' rhythm down You feel the time starts to come alive Ev'rytime the black-eyed boys arrive
Well now the leader of the band, he was the drummer He did a rhythm like a big tattoo And you can see he put all his heart and soul in The lead guitar, he sat astride a rubber hummer And in behind there was a bass boy, too They pretty soon had the hole town rock and rollin' Ev'rybody
Oh, the black-eyed boys They had 'em dancin' in the street They rocked along from the mornin' light On and on into the night And oh, the black-eyed boys They kept the people on their feet Cryin' oh, let it never end Wanna hear the black eyed-boys again
Oh, the black-eyed boys Layin' down a rockin' noise Oh, the heart right black-eyed boys
Oh, the black-eyed boys They had 'em dancin' in the street They rocked along from the mornin' light On and on into the night And oh, the black-eyed boys They kept the people on their feet Cryin' oh, let it never end Wanna hear the black-eyed boys again
Oh, the black-eyed boys Oh, the black-eyed boys Rock and rollin' - rock and rollin' - rock and rollin' Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Candle Of Life Composer(s): John Lodge Performer(s): The Moody Blues
Something you can't hide Says you're lonely Hidden deep inside Of you only It's there for you to see Take a look and be Burn slowly the candle of life
Something there outside Says we're only In the hands of time Falling slowly It's there for us to know With love that we can go Burn slowly the candle of life
So love everybody And make them your friends So love everybody And make them your friends
Something you can't hide Says you're lonely Hidden deep inside Of you only It's there for you to see Take a look and be Burn slowly the candle of life
Something there outside Says we're only In the hands of time Falling slowly It's there for us to know With love that we can go Burn slowly the candle of life
Feats Don't Fail Me Now Composer(s): Paul Barrère; Lowell George; Martin Kibbee Performer(s): Little Feat; Paul Barrère; Taj Mahal
Your daddy says I'm no good Your momma says keep away Got to tell you truthful girl you can never make me stay I got something up and down this coast Bet you my last dollar girl I can love your love the most
Don't the sunrise look so pretty Never such a sight Like a rollin' into New York City With the skyline in the morning light Roll right through the night Roll Roll right through the night I said Roll
Semi-smokin mama, you got to give me some Heard you got the biggest -- hmm -- the biggest truck in town Right on through to Baltimore you got to love me now Got to do me gently, well it's feets don't fail me now Don't fail me, feets don't fail me now
Don't the sunrise look so pretty Never such a sight Like a rollin' into New York City With the skyline in the morning light Roll right through the night I said roll Roll right through the night Roll right through the night
Blackboard Of My Heart Composer(s): Lyle Gaston - Hank Thompson Performer(s): Hank Thompson; Daniel O'Donnell
When I was young and went to school They taught me how to write To take the chalk and make a mark And hope it turns out right Well that's the way it is with love And what you did to me I wrote it so you'd know That I was yours eternally
But my tears have washed I love you From the blackboard of my heart It's too late to clean the slate And make another start I'm satisfied the way things are Although we're far apart My tears have washed I love you from The blackboard of my heart
If you'd been true the way you should And not have gone astray These tears would not have fallen down And washed the words away No need to talk, 'cause if the chalk Should write those words again It will be for someone else Not things that might have been
But my tears have washed I love you From the blackboard of my heart It's too late to clean the slate And make another start I'm satisfied the way things are Although we're far apart My tears have washed I love you from The blackboard of my heart
Candle In The Wind

Composer(s): Elton John - Bernie Taupin
First release by: Elton John - 1973
Covered by multiple other artists
Goodbye Norma Jean Though I never knew you at all You had the grace to hold yourself While those around you crawled They crawled out of the woodwork And they whispered into your brain They set you on the treadmill And they made you change your name
And it seems to me you lived your life Like a candle in the wind Never knowing who to cling to When the rain set in And I would have liked to have known you But I was just a kid Your candle burned out long before Your legend ever did
Loneliness was tough The toughest role you ever played Hollywood created a superstar And pain was the price you paid Even when you died Oh the press still hounded you All the papers had to say Was that Marilyn was found in the nude
Goodbye Norma Jean From the young man in the 22nd row Who sees you as something as more than sexual More than just our Marilyn Monroe
And it seems to me you lived your life Like a candle in the wind Never knowing who to cling to When the rain set in And I would have liked to have known you But I was just a kid Your candle burned out long before Your legend ever did

Hey-hey, I've known a lot of women When I was on the go They'd stand in line to drink my wine And help me spend my dough But my wife Rosie ain't that kind Got her to thank For a buck in the bank An' this kid of mine
(Instrumental) (Ha-ha-ha!) (Instrumental) (Ha-ha-ha!) (Ha, ha, ha-ha-ha, la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la) (Instrumental) (Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha , ha,)

Oh, feet up, pat him on the po-po Let's hear him laugh Ha-ha! Feet up, pat him on the po-po Let's hear him laugh Ain't seen a babe like this before He's so good-lookin', gonna have some more Feet up, pat him on the po-po Let's hear him laugh (Let's hear him laugh) Hey!
Feels Like The First Time Composer(s): Mick Jones Performer(s): Foreigner; Dave Baldwin; Daughtry; Millie Jackson
I would climb any mountain, sail across the stormy sea If that's what it takes me baby, to show how much you mean to me And I guess that it's just the woman in you, that brings out the man in me I know I can't help myself, you're all in the world to me
Chorus: It feels like the first time, feels like the very first time It feels like the first time, it feels like the very first time
I have waited a lifetime, spent my time so foolishly But now that I found you, together we'll make history And I know that it must be the woman in you, that brings out the man in me I know I can't help myself, you're all my eyes can see
And it feels like the first time, like it never did before Feels like the first time, like we've opened up the door Feels like the first time, like it never will again, never again
The Black Angel's Death Song Composer(s): John Cale - Lou Reed First release by: The Velvet Underground & Nico - 1967 Covered by multiple other artists
The myriad choices of his fate Set themselves out upon a plate For him to choose What had he to lose
Not a ghost bloodied country All covered with sleep Where the black angel did weep Not an old city street in the east Gone to choose
And wanderings brother Walked on through the night With his hair in his face On a long splintered cut from the knife of g.t.
The rally mans patter ran on through the dawn Until we said so long To his skull-shrill yell
Shining brightly red-rimmed and Red-lined with the time Infused with the choice of the mind On ice skates scraping chunks From the bells
Cut mouth bleeding razors Forgetting the pain Antiseptic remains cool goodbye So you fly To the cozy brown snow of the east Gone to choose, choose again
Sacrificials remains make it hard to forget Where you come from The stools of your eyes Serve to realize fame, choose again
And rovermans refrain of the sacrilege recluse For the loss of a horse Went the bowels and a tail of a rat Come again, choose to go
And if epiphanys terror reduced you to shame Have your head bobbed and weaved Choose a side to be on
If the stone glances off Split didactics in two Leave the colors of the mouse trails Dont scream, try between If you choose, if you choose, try to lose For the loss of remain come and start
Start the game I che che che che i Che che ka tak koh Choose to choose Choose to choose, choose to go

The stars won't come out if they know that you're about 'Cause they couldn't match the glow of your eyes And, oh, who am I? Just an ordinary guy Tryin' hard to win me first prize

Candida Just take my hand and I'll lead ya I promise life will be sweeter 'Cause it said so in my dreams
The future looks bright, the gypsy told me so last night Said she saw our children playing in the sunshine And there were you and I ... in a house, Baby, no lie And all these things were yours, and they were mine
Oh, my Candida We could make it together The further from here, girl, the better Where the air is fresh and clean
Candida Just take my hand and I'll lead ya I promise life will be sweeter 'Cause it said so in my dreams

Something in your eyes makes me want to lose myself Makes me want to lose myself, in your arms There's something in your voice makes my heart beat fast Hope this feeling lasts the rest of my life
If you knew how lonely my life has been And how low I've felt so long If you knew how I wanted someone to come along And change my life the way you've done
Chorus: Feels like home to me, feels like home to me Feels like I'm all the way back where I belong Feels like home to me, feels like home to me Feels like I'm all the way back where I belong
A window breaks down a long dark street And a siren wails over my head But I'm all right, 'cause I have you here with me And I can almost see through the dark there's light
If you knew how much this moment means to me And how long I've waited for your touch If you knew how happy you are making me I've never thought I'd love anyone so much
Chorus Feels like home to me, feels like home to me Feels like I'm all the way back where I come from Feels like home to me, feels like home to me Feels like I'm all the way back where I belong
The Birthday Composer(s): Jeff Lynne Performer(s): The Idle Race
She had a birthday yesterday she cried Took off her glasses let her hair down cried
She told them all at work about the day How it is no-one came? Wo-oh woh, oh woh-oh
She sent the invitations to her friends They were too busy doing other things She told them all at work about the day How it is no-one came? Wo-oh woh, oh woh-oh
She took the decorations from the wall Was it the ladder loose that made her fall? She told them all at work about the day How it is no-one came? Wo-oh woh, oh woh-oh
Toco la mañana, cargo el aire, cargo 4 como en aquella canción voy a cantar un poco, voy a tejer siluetas como el día y la noche como el degradée Todo buen comienzo huele a rosa en penumbras como un loco en un jardín Blanco para la flecha, blanco que es armonía flecha que apunta exacto hacia el corazón Canción que cuenta como nace canción de amor que te recuerda canción sobre canción, como rayos de sol Vivimos tras los escenarios tratando de entender un poco canción sobre canción como rayos de sol Vuelan las cenizas de una enagua en plena altura sobre el filo de un placard ella no dice nada sólo se ven sus curvas ella no está y espera su caballo rojo Vuelvo a caminar sobre aquel hilo pentagrama que respira en un papel sigo desarrollando, quiero encender el fuego yo quiero acabar la línea cuando den las diez
