Circle Of Hands
Composer(s): Ken Hensley
Performer(s): Uriah Heep; The Easy Livin'
Circle of hands Cold spirits plan Searching my land For an enemy Came across Love's sweet cost And in the face of beauty Evil was lost
Sky full of eyes Minds full of lies Black from their cold hearts Down to their graves Murdered the dawn Spreading their scorn Cursing the sun Of which love was born
We must keep them away Or pretty soon we'll pay And count the cost in sorrow Sacrifice - the future has it's price And today is only Yesterday's tomorrow
Reminiscing Composer(s): King Curtis Performer(s): Buddy Holly; and various other artists
Im just sittin here reminiscin Wondrin who youve been kissin Baby, who-oh-oh baby Ive been wanderin all around There must be a new guy in town You dont love me any more Ill get over you, baby, Although my hearts still sore Well you know my hearts still sore
When I think of all the lies you told To that young man my heart youve sold Your cheatin, and the mean mistreatin When I think of all the fun we had Kinda makes me feel so sad An Im lonely, for your love And the longest day I live Its only you that Ill be thinkin of You know Im thinkin of Well its you Im thinkin of Hmm, hmm, hmmm
The Circle Game
((Dutch Version: De Cirkel (Miek en Roel) - 1970))
Composer(s): Joni Mitchell
First release by: Ian & Sylvia - 1967
Covered by multiple other artists
Yesterday a child came out to wonder Caught a dragonfly inside a jar Fearful when the sky was full of thunder And tearful at the falling of a star Then the child moved ten times round the seasons Skated over ten clear frozen streams Words like, when you're older, must appease him And promises of someday make his dreams And the seasons they go round and round And the painted ponies go up and down We're captive on the carousel of time We can't return we can only look behind From where we came And go round and round and round In the circle game
Sixteen springs and sixteen summers gone now Cartwheels turn to car wheels thru the town And they tell him, Take your time, it won't be long now Till you drag your feet to slow the circles down And the seasons they go round and round And the painted ponies go up and down We're captive on the carousel of time We can't return we can only look behind From where we came And go round and round and round In the circle game
So the years spin by and now the boy is twenty Though his dreams have lost some grandeur Coming true There'll be new dreams, maybe better dreams and plenty Before the last revolving year is through And the seasons they go round and round And the painted ponies go up and down We're captive on the carousel of time We can't return, we can only look behind From where we came And go round and round and round In the circle game
Remind Me Composer(s): Dorothy Fields; Jerome Kern Performer(s): Doris Day & André Previn;
and various other artists
Remind me not to find you so attractive Remind me that the world is full of men When I start to miss you, to touch your hand, to kiss you Remind me to count to ten
I had a feeling when I met you Youd drive me crazy if I let you But all my efforts to forget you Remind me Im in love again
Not to mention that I love you
To be sorry that we met Although I adore you, remind me to ignore you Youre one thing I will regret So when your charm begins to blind me Ill simply tie my hands behind me Dont let me kiss you, please remind me Unless, my darling, you forget
The Price Of Love ((French Version: Le Prix Daimer (Frank Alamo) - 1965)) Composer(s): Don Everly - Phil Everly First release by: The Everly Brothers - 1965 Covered by multiple other artists
Wine is sweet & gin is bitter Drink all you can, but you won't forget her You talk too much, you laugh too loud You see her face in every crowd
That's the price of love, the price of love The debt you pay with tears & pain The price of love, the price of love Can cost you more & you're to blame
Kiss one girl, kiss another Kiss 'em all, but you won't recover You're dancin' slow, you're dancin' fast You're happy now, but that won't last
That's the price of love, the price of love The debt you pay with tears & pain The price of love, the price of love Can cost you more & you're to blame
Says Lloyd-George to Macpherson, "l give you the sack To uphold law and order you haven't the knack I'll send over Greenwood, a much stronger man And fill up the Green Isle with the bold Black and Tan"
He sent them all over to pillage and loot And burn down the houses, the inmates to shoot "To re-conquer Ireland, he said, is my plan With Macready and Co. and his bold Black and Tan"
The town of Balbriggan they've burned to the ground While bullets like hailstones were whizzing around And women left homeless by this evil clan They've waged war on the children, the bold Black and Tan
From Dublin to Cork and from Thurles to Mayo Lies a trail of destruction wherever they go With England to help and fierce passions to fan She must feel bloody proud of her bold Black and Tan
Ah, then not by the terrors of England's foul horde For ne'er could a nation be ruled by the sword For our country we'll have yet in spite of her plan Or ten times the number of bold Black and Tan
We defeated Conscription in spite of their threats And we're going to defeat old Lloyd-George and his pets For Ireland and Freedom we're here to a man And we'll humble the pride of the bold Black and Tan
A clock that stopped ticking is a sign A mirror that cracked is a sign A little feather on the window sill A butterfly entangled in my curtains Rain on a hot summer day Ebb and tide it is all an allegory All secrets with no meaning What is the allegory and what is the connection Why do I still not understand?
A torn string is a sign A blown out candle is a sign A letter sent back to its sender A dry flowerpot suddenly blooms a crowing crow-what tidings does it bring?
But there is one sign I figured out on my own and I understand it very well Burning hot cheeks strong heartbeats feeling hot, and cold, and shivering, sleepless nights what does it mean? I understand now. Day dreaming, crying for no reason What does it mean? It means Love
Le Prix Daimer ((Adapted from: The Price Of Love (The Everly Brothers) - 1965)) Composer(s): Don Everly - Phil Everly - Georges Aber Performer(s): Frank Alamo - 1965
Chaque nuit, tu vas danser Boire du whisky, essayer d'oublier
Tu parles trop, tu ris trop fort Ça se voit bien, tu l'aimes encore
Tu vas payer le prix d'aimer Avec des larmes, tu le sais bien Tu vas payer le prix d'aimer Tu vas payer comme les copains
Une fille à chaque bras Embrasse-les tant que tu pourras
Après vingt sauts des rythmes fous Tu peux danser mais malgré tout
Tu vas payer le prix d'aimer Avec des larmes, tu le sais bien Tu vas payer le prix d'aimer Tu vas payer comme les copains
Procurando bem Todo mundo tem pereba Marca de bexiga ou vacina E tem piriri, tem lombriga, tem ameba Só a bailarina que não tem E não tem coceira Berruga nem frieira Nem falta de maneira Ela não tem
Futucando bem Todo mundo tem piolho Ou tem cheiro de creolina Todo mundo tem um irmão meio zarolho Só a bailarina que não tem Nem unha encardida Nem dente com comida Nem casca de ferida Ela não tem
Não livra ninguém Todo mundo tem remela Quando acorda às seis da matina Teve escarlatina Ou tem febre amarela Só a bailarina que não tem Medo de subir, gente Medo de cair, gente Medo de vertigem Quem não tem
Confessando bem Todo mundo faz pecado Logo assim que a missa termina Todo mundo tem um primeiro namorado Só a bailarina que não tem Sujo atrás da orelha Bigode de groselha Calcinha um pouco velha Ela não tem
O padre também Pode até ficar vermelho Se o vento levanta a batina Reparando bem, todo mundo tem pentelho Só a bailarina que não tem Sala sem mobília Goteira na vasilha Problema na família Quem não tem
It's funny but I don't remember
one thing you and I ever fought about I know you used to look at me with the coldest eyes And speak to me with the sharpest tongue But even that's hazy now you know what I do remember The warmth of your lips when we'd kiss And make up the softness of your body When you'd snuggle up close to me and say baby I'm sorry
And I'm lyin' here tonight remembering the good Needing to hold you wishing I could Listening to your laughter echo through my mind Forgetting the bad times remembering the good
I thought I'd never forget how the door sounded When you used to slam it and walk out but I have forgotten And yet I can almost hum the tune it played When you opened it and come back in Funny all I can remember is the up and in's I forgot the down and out's

Jogue os meus olhos no azul do céu Jogue os meus dedos no clarão do mar Jogue os meus cabelos na flor desse luar E eu serei só música Me espalharei nas cinzas E ficarei mais leve prá cantar
Serei feliz com a morte Que venha feito mansa Como vem mansa a última onda do mar
Remembering Last Summer Composer(s): Barry Mann; Cynthia Weil Performer(s): The Lettermen
Ever since we said goodbye
I just spent the whole year through Remembering last summer and you Even now I almost cry thinking of the love we knew Remembering last summer and you
Those picnics on the beach were so much fun They're so sweet to recall Your lips were warm as the summer sun But they cooled when leaves began to fall
And when summer comes again in another month or two I just know for me the skies won't be as blue Remembering last summer and you
The Prayer ((Italian Version: The Prayer (Andrea Bocelli) - 1998)) Composer(s): Carole Bayer Sager - David Foster First release by: Celine Dion & Andrea Bocelli - 1998 Covered by multiple other artists
I pray you'll be our eyes And watch us where we go And help us to be wise In times when we don't know
Let this be our prayer As we go our way Lead us to a place Guide us with your Grace To a place where we'll be safe
La luce che to dai I pray we'll find your light Nel cuore resterò And hold it in our hearts A ricordarchi che When stars go out each night L'eterna stella sei Nella mia preghiera Let this be our prayer Quanta fede c'è When shadows fill our day Lead us to a place Guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we'll be safe Sognamo un mondo senza più violenza Un mondo di giustizia e di speranza Ognuno dia la mano al suo vicino Simbolo di pace e di fraternità
La forza che ci dai We ask that life be kind E'il desiderio che And watch us from above Ognuno trovi amore We hope each soul will find Intorno e dentro a sé Another soul to love
Let this be our prayer Just like every child Just like every child
Needs to find a place Guide us with your grace Give us faith so we'll be safe E la fede che Hai acceso in noi Sento che ci salverà

Cinq Filles À Marier
Composer(s): Charles Aznavour - Pierre Roche
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
Maître Jacques le notaire Maître Jacques le notaire A cinq filles à marier A cinq filles à marier La première est très austère Elle doit avoir quarante ans C'est l'image de sa mère Elle mène tout tambour battant C'est dommage mais qu'importe Et que diable l'emporte
Maître Jacques le notaire Maître Jacques le notaire A cinq filles à marier A cinq filles à marier La seconde sans aucun doute Ne manque pas de qualités Mais toujours elle vous déroute Car elle a un oeil en biais C'est dommage mais qu'importe Et que diable l'emporte
Maître Jacques le notaire Maître Jacques le notaire A cinq filles à marier A cinq filles à marier La troisième comme son père A de la barbe au menton Le nez comme une pomme de terre Les pieds plats et le dos rond C'est dommage mais qu'importe Et que le diable l'emporte
Maître Jacques le notaire Maître Jacques le notaire A cinq filles à marier A cinq filles à marier La quatrième est sauvage Bien que jolie comme un coeur Elle fuit à mon passage À croire que je lui fais peur C'est dommage mais qu'importe Et que le diable l'emporte
Maître Jacques le notaire Maître Jacques le notaire A cinq filles à marier A cinq filles à marier J'ai épousé la dernière Qui ressemble à une fée Mais elle est pas trop légère Elle ne pense qu'à me tromper C'est dommage mais qu'importe Et que le diable l'emporte
La morale de cette histoire Est fort simple à deviner N'allez pas chez le notaire Pour vouloir vous marier Et consulter père et mère Avant de vous déclarer C'est dommage mais tant pis Car la vie est faite ainsi
Remember, Remember The Fifth Of November (Traditional)
Remember, remember the fifth of November Gunpowder, treason and plot I see no reason why gunpowder treason Should ever be forgot
Guy Fawkes, Guy Fawkes, 'twas his intent To blow up the King and the Parliament Three score barrels of powder below Poor old England to overthrow By God's providence he was catched With a dark lantern and burning match Holloa boys, holloa boys God save the King! Hip hip hooray! Hip hip hooray!
A penny loaf to feed ol' Pope A farthing cheese to choke him A pint of beer to rinse it down A faggot of sticks to burn him Burn him in a tub of tar Burn him like a blazing star Burn his body from his head Then we'll say ol' Pope is dead Hip hip hooray! Hip hip hooray!
The Power Of Gold Composer(s): Dan Fogelberg Performer(s): Dan Fogelberg
The story is told of the Power of gold And its lure on the unsuspecting It glitters and shines It badgers and blinds And constantly needs protecting Balance the cost of the soul you lost With the dreams you lightly sold Are you under The power of gold? The letters and calls Got you climbing the walls And everyone wants a favor They beg to remind you Of times left behind you But you know the past is a loser The face you're wearing is different now And the days run hot and cold Are you under The power of gold? You're a creature of habit Run like a rabbit Scared of a fear you can't name Your own paranoia Is looming before you But nobody thinks that It's a game Balance the cost of the soul you lost With the dreams you lightly sold Then tell me That you're free Of the power of gold The women are lovely The wine is superb But there's something about the song That disturbs you...
