The Chamber Of 32 Doors Composer(s): Mike Rutherford - Peter Gabriel - Phil Collins - Steve Hackett - Tony Banks Performer(s): Genesis
At the top of the stairs, their's hundreds of people running around to all the doors They try to find themselves an audience their deductions need applause
The rich man stands in front of me The poor man behind my back They believe they can control the game but the juggler holds another pack
I need someone to believe in, someone to trust I need someone to believe in, someone to trust
I'd rather trust a countryman than a townman You can judge by his eyes, take a look if you can He'll smile through his guard Survival trains hard I'd rather trust a man who works with his hands He looks at you once, you know he understands Don't need any shield When you're out in the field
But down here I'm so alone with my fear With everything that I hear And every single door, that I've walked through Brings me back here again I've got to find my own way
The priest and the magician Singing all the chants that they have ever heard They're all calling out my name Even academics, searching printed word
My father to the left of me My mother to the right Like everyone else they'er pointing But nowhere feels quite right
And I need someone to believe in, someone to trust I need someone to believe in, someone to trust
I'd rather trust a man who doesn't shout what he's found There's no need to sell if you're homeward bound If I chose a side He won't take me for a ride
Back inside This chamber of so many doors I've nowhere to hide I'd give you all of my dreams, if you'd help me Find a door That doesn't lead me back again - take me away

Fingerprint File Composer(s): Mick Jagger; Keith Richards Performer(s): The Rolling Stones
Fingerprint file, you get me down You keep me running Know my way around Yes, you do, child Fingerprint file, you bring me down Keep me running You keep me on the ground Know my moves Way ahead of time Listening to me On your satellite
Feeling followed Feeling tagged Crossing water Trying to wipe my tracks
And there's some little jerk in the FBI A keepin' papers on me six feet high It gets me down, it gets me down, it gets me down
You better watch out On your telephone Wrong number They know you ain't home
And there's some little jerk in the FBI A keepin' papers on me six feet high It gets me down, it gets me down, it gets me down
Who's the man on the corner; that corner over there I don't know Well, you better lay low Watch out
Keep on the look out Electric eyes Rats on the sell out Who gonna testify You know my habits Way a head of time Listening to me On your satellite
And there's some little jerk in the FBI A keepin' papers on me six feet high It gets me down, it gets me down, it gets me down It gets me down
Hello, baby, mm-hmm Ah, yeah, you know we ain't, we ain't talkin' alone Who's listening? Well I don't really know But you better tell the SIS to keep out of sight 'Cause I know they takin' pictures on the ultraviolet light Yes, uh huh, yeah, but these days it's all secrecy; no privacy Shoot first, that' s right... you know Bye bye Right now somebody is listening to...... you Keeping their eyes peeled...... on you Mmm, mmm, what a price, what a price to pay All right Good night, sleep tight

Listen to the wind blow Watch the sun rise
Run in the shadows Damn your love Damn your lies
And if You don't love me now You will never love me again I can still hear you saying You would never break the chain
List to the wind blow Down comes the night
Run in the shadows Damn your love Damn your lies
Break the silence Damn the dark Damn the light
And if You don't love me now You will never love me again I can still hear you saying You would never break the chain
Canta Ragazzina
Composer(s): Labati Donida - Iller Pattacini - Claudio Pepperdrini
Performer(s): Bobby Solo; Connie Francis; Mina
Tu sei come me quando ero un bambino sei bella e non sai tutto quello che hai
Canta ragazzina che il giorno dura solo poche ore e quando arriva sera puoi scoprire che il sole se n'è andato e resti tu
Canta ragazzina e non fermarti a piangere o a pensare che tanto tutto passa anche l'amore Ed alla fine resti solo tu non fare come me non fare come me che oramai non vivo più
Un giorno vale una anno e la vita vale un attimo ti svegli un mattino e ti trovi già donna
Canta ragazzina che il giorno dura solo poche ore e quando arriva sera puoi scoprire che il sole se n'è andato e resti tu
Canta ragazzina e non fermarti a piangere o a pensare che tanto tutto passa anche l'amore Ed alla fine resti solo tu non fare come me non fare come me che oramai non vivo più

Perchè mhai fatto piangere? Perché non mami più? Lo so che le mie lacrime ti fan sorridere, lhai detto tu Perché tu non vuoi credere che non so vivere lontan da te?
Finestra chiusa al mio cuore innamorato Questa notte son tornato per restar vicino a te Finestra chiusa senza luce e senza amor Se fai piangere il muio cuor tu non hai pietà di me
Ritorna ancora! Ma tu non mi ascolti più Ritorna ancora senza te non vivo più! Finestra chiusa forse un vento di follia si portò la donna mia e non la vedrò mai più
Lo so ti debbo perdere lo so ma nel mio cuor lamor non posso uccidere mi devi credere, non so mentir Così non posso vivere e debbo piangere per non morir
The Cat Crept In Composer(s): Mike Chapman - Nicky Chinn Performer(s): Mud
I said hey you guys, look who's waiting outside Well she's got style you can see it in her feline eyes When she starts moving you sure can tell When she starts shaking she's raising hell I said hey you guys, look who's waiting ouside
You remember how she left that floor on a Saturday night The cat's footloose and she darned near started a fight Well she may have been flashing like a neon sign But you can't touch her 'cos she's mine all mine I said hey you guys, look who's waiting outside Let her in!
And then the cat crept in swinging her tail And then the cat crept in swinging her tail Just open up the door to that high heeled paw I said the cat crept in, we crept out again I said the cat crept in, and we crept out again
I said hey you guys, can you hear that alley cat cry She aint superstitious but she's hanging on to life number nine Well you may not show it but she hides in the light And she may not show it but this cat can bite I said hey you guys, look who's waiting outside Let her in!
And then the cat crept in swinging her tail And then the cat crept in swinging her tail Just open up the door to that high heeled paw I said the cat crept in, we crept out again I said the cat crept in, and we crept out again
Well she's got style you can see it in her feline eyes Well she may have been flashing like a neon sign But you can't touch her 'cos she's mine all mine I said hey you guys, look who's waiting outside Okay, let her in!
And then the cat crept in swinging her tail And then the cat crept in swinging her tail Just open up the door to that high heeled paw I said the cat crept in, we crept out again I said the cat crept in, and we crept out again...

Canta gallito canta gallo compañero ¡Los gallos que no son gallos andan por el gallinero! Gallito de la montaña gallito de monte y río que no se callen los gallos que canten el canto mío
Fine On My Mind Composer(s): Jerry Reed Performer(s): Jerry Reed
Well girl you're fine on my mind all the time Fine on my mind all the time I never met a woman quite like you And all the sweet things you do
Stay fine on my mind all the time
My papa said someday boy true love's gonna come your way Someday some woman's gonna love you right out of your mind You'll lose your appetite and won't be able to sleep at night For thinkin' bout some woman all the time
Well girl you're fine...
Well if papa could just see me Lord I know how tickled he'd be To know some woman got me talkin' to myself And it's been like this since it came first time we kissed I can't seem to think about nothin' else
Little Bennie had a cat that they wouldn't let him keep So he put her up for sale at a price he thought was cheap He took her to a neighbor to ask him for advice He said, "Leave the kitty here She can help me with the mice"
But the cat came back, she wouldn't stay away She was sitting on the porch the very next day The cat came back, she didn't want to roam The very next day it was Home, Sweet Home
Then Bennie met a man who was driving way out West He would take the cat along as a special honored guest The steering wheel was wobbly, he drove into a tree The car was just a total wreck as anyone could see
But the cat came back, she wouldn't stay away She was sitting on the porch the very next day The cat came back, she didn't want to roam The very next day it was Home, Sweet Home
So Bennie bought a gun from the Human Cannonball He put the cat inside with Tri-Nitro Toluol When he pulled the trigger, the cannon made a roar The neighbors all surrendered 'cause they thought it was a war
But the cat came back, she wouldn't stay away She was sitting on the porch the very next day The cat came back, she didn't want to roam The very next day it was Home, Sweet Home
Then Bennie gave the cat to a man who had a bomb When he took the cat away, she was acting cool and calm And then the bomb exploded, it made an awful sound They searched and searched for ages but the man was never found
But the cat came back, she wouldn't stay away She was sitting on the porch the very next day The cat came back, she didn't want to roam The very next day it was Home, Sweet Home
Can't You Take It Back And Change It For A Boy
Composer(s): Thurland - Chattaway
Performer(s): Rex Allen
From the nursery creepin', a little boy came peepin' Shyly peepin' through a golden curl At a tiny bundle, such a funny bundle Was a tiny, little baby girl Came to town that mornin', as the day was dawnin' Mother thought t'would fill his heart with joy But he shook his little head and to his Mammy said Gee I wish that you had bought a boy
Can't you take it back and change it for another I don't want no little sister don't you see 'Cos I'd rather have a little baby brother Who could play a game of ball with me For it ain't no fun to play with dolls and such things A girl you know could never fix a toy So I'll tell you what to do, if it's just the same with you Can't you take it back and change it for a boy
Now ain't it awful funny? Did it cost much money? Won't it be an awful lot of care It t'ain't a good one Mother, you'll have to get another Can't you see it hasn't any hair Don't its teeth come with it? Will its nose grow, will it? Don't it make an awful lot of noise Take it back today, take it right away And buy one where they only sell just boys
Can't you take it back and change it for another I don't want no little sister don't you see 'Cos I'd rather have a little baby brother Who could play a game of ball with me It ain't no fun to play with dolls and such things A girl you know could never fix a toy So I'll tell you what to do, if it's just the same with you Can't you take it back and change it for a boy

The Cat Came Back Composer(s): Traditional - Harry Miller Performer(s): Fiddlin' John Carson and multiple other artists
Now old Mr. Johnson had troubles of his own He had an old yellow cat that wouldn't leave home Tried everything he knew to do to keep the cat away Took him up to Canada and told him for to stay...
But the cat came back The very next day the old cat came back Thought he was a goner, but the cat came back `Cause he wouldn't stay away
On the telegraph wire the birds were sittin' in a bunch Saw an even number, thought he'd' have `em for his lunch Climbed softly up the pole, until he reached the top Put his foot upon the electric wire, tied him in a knot...
But the cat came back The very next day the old cat came back Thought he was a goner, but the cat came back `Cause he wouldn't stay away
This old cat had company out in the backyard Somebody threw a boot, and threw it awful hard Hit the cat behind the ear and he thought it was a slight And down came a brick and knocked him out of sight...
But the cat came back The very next day the old cat came back Thought he was a goner, but the cat came back `Cause he wouldn't stay away
They threw him in the kennel where the dog was asleep And the bones of cats lay piled in a heap That ol' kennel burst apart and the dog flew out the side With his ears chewed off and holes in his hide...
But the cat came back The very next day the old cat came back Thought he was a goner, but the cat came back `Cause he wouldn't stay away
They sneaked into the shop with the butcher not around And they dropped him in the hopper where the meat was ground The old cat disappeared with a blood-curdling shriek And that shop's hamburger tasted furry for a week...
But the cat came back The very next day the old cat came back Thought he was a goner, but the cat came back `Cause he wouldn't stay away
They put him in a cotton sack and give him to a girl Who was startin' on a bicycle all around the world Well over there in China, a terrible wreck was found She's singin' now in heaven with the angels all around...
But the cat came back The very next day the old cat came back Thought he was a goner, but the cat came back `Cause he wouldn't stay away
Now this cat was a terror and they thought it would be best To give him to a feller who was goin' out West Train ran around a curve and hit a broken rail Not a blessed soul aboard the train lived to tell the tale...
But the cat came back The very next day the old cat came back Thought he was a goner, but the cat came back `Cause he wouldn't stay away
They gave the old cat to the man in the balloon And they told him to give him to the man in the moon Well the balloon, it busted and everybody said, "Ten miles away they picked a man up dead"...
But the cat came back The very next day the old cat came back Thought he was a goner, but the cat came back `Cause he wouldn't stay away
Well at last they found the way this cat they'd really fix They put him in an orange crate on Highway Sixty-Six Come a ten ton truck with a twenty ton load Scattered pieces of the orange crate a mile down the road...
But the cat came back The very next day the old cat came back Thought he was a goner, but the cat came back `Cause he wouldn't stay away
They put him on a boat bound for Cambridge town They thought with all the rain there, he'd surely drown When the rain come down on the ninety-second day The whole darn city just a-floated out the bay...
But the cat came back The very next day the old cat came back Thought he was a goner, but the cat came back `Cause he wouldn't stay away
Now the farmer on the corner said he'd shoot the cat on sight And he loaded up his gun with nails and dynamite And he hid in the garden till the cat come around Seven little pieces of the man was all they found...
But the cat came back The very next day the old cat came back Thought he was a goner, but the cat came back `Cause he wouldn't stay away
They put him on the White House lawn, I'll tell you the reason why They thought with all those golf balls flyin' there, he'd surely die The very next morning, what do you think they found Ninety-four squirrels lyin' dead upon the ground...
But the cat came back The very next day the old cat came back Thought he was a goner, but the cat came back `Cause he wouldn't stay away
They took him down to Cape Canaveral and they put him in a place And they shot him in a satellite way into space They thought that cat was beyond human reach Then they got a phone call from Miami Beach, sayin'...
The cat came back The very next day the old cat came back Thought he was a goner, but the cat came back `Cause he wouldn't stay away

Fine And Mellow Composer(s): Billie Holiday Performer(s): Billie Holiday; and various other artists
My man don't love me Treats me oh, so mean My man don't he love me Treats me awful mean He's the lowest man That I've ever see
He wears high drape pants Stripes are really yellow He wears high drape pants Stripes area really yellow But when he starts in to love me He's so fine and mellow
Love will make you drink and gamble Make you stay out all night long Love will make you drink and gamble Make you stay out all night long Love will make you do things That you know is wrong
But if you treat me right, baby I'll stay home every day If you treat me right, baby I'll stay home every day But you're so mean to me, baby I know you're gonna drive me away
Love is just like a faucet It turns off and on Love is like a faucet It turns off and on Sometimes when you think it's on, baby It has turned off and gone
The Carroll County Accident Composer(s): Bob Ferguson Performer(s): Porter Wagoner and multiple other artists
Carroll County's pointed out as kind of square The biggest thing that happens is the county fair I guess that's why we thought it such a big event What we call the Carroll County accident
The wreck was on the highway just outside the line Walter Browning lost his life and for a time It seemed that Mary Ellen Jones would surely die But she lived long enough for her to testify
Walter Browning was a happy married man And he wore a golden wedding ring upon his hand But it was gone, nobody knew just where it went He lost it in the Carroll County Accident
Mary Ellen testified that he flagged her down Said he was sick and could she drive him into town No one ever doubted what she said was true 'Cause she was well respected in the county too
I went down to see the wreck like all the rest The broken glass the bloody seats the tangled mess But I found something no one else had ever seen Behind the dash in Mary's crumpled up machine
A little match box circled by a rubber band And inside the ring from Walter Browning's hand It took awhile to figure out just what it meant The truth about the Carroll County accident
By dark of night I dropped the ring into a well And took a sacred oath that I would never tell The truth about the Carroll County accident For the County ordered dad a marble monument
