There's A Land Of Begin Again Composer(s): Hughie Charles - Ross Parker Performer(s): Vera Lynn and multiple other artists
There's a land of begin again On the other side of the hill Where we learn to love and live again When the world is quiet and still There's a land of begin again And there's not a cloud in the sky Where we'll never have to grieve again And we'll never say goodbye
When all your troubles just surround you And around you skies are grey If you can only keep your eyes on The horizon, not so far away
There's a land of begin again On the other side of the hill Where we learn to love and live again When the world is quiet and still There's a land of begin again And there's not a cloud in the sky Where we'll never have to grieve again And we'll never say goodbye
There aren't any signposts to guide you You don't need permission to stay And you'll find there's something inside you Showing you the way
There's a prize we can win again And together, somehow, we will There's a land of begin again On the other side of the hill

Reach for the sun Catch hold of the moon They're both too heavy But what can you do? Reach for the stars Smack into the sky You don't want to live But you're too chicken to die... ---chicken to die---

Reach for the rose Get caught in the briar You're warming to love Next thing there's a fire The trouble with love is its other face You just want the cup you don't want the race No, you don't want the race...
Run, run Run for the roses Sooner it opens the quicker it closes Man, oh, man Oh friend of mine All good things in all good time All good things in all good time
Run for the money Caught short on the rent Big ideas but the money's all spent If you got the do-re I got the mi And I got a notion we're all at the sea Yeah, we're all at the sea
Run, run Run for the roses Sooner it opens the quicker it closes Man, oh, man Oh friend of mine All good things in all good time All good things in all good time

Elle était bonne Pour quarante Quarante dollars Ou quarante hommes Pour quarante Elle était bonne... C'était elle Qu'un dieu souriant Avait prévue Pour faire de la terre Un grand ciel entrevu... Un uf et une poule Un grand coquetier bleu De loin, c'est une boule De près, un chemin creux... Et j'en étais très exactement amoureux Comme dans un salon de coiffure de banlieue Un extincteur rêve de feu Près d'une plante exotique qui rêve d'Afrique... Il faut oser Tresser l'osier Pour laisser au moins un panier À l'éternité... Morales, conscience Et habitudes Habitent toujours la même rue Il faudrait oser déménager... Un uf et une poule Un grand coquetier bleu Elle bonne pour quarante Et moi amoureux Et j'en étais très exactement amoureux Comme, dans un salon de coiffure de banlieue Un extincteur rêve de feu Près d'une plante exotique qui rêve d'Afrique ...
Run For Home Composer(s): Alan Hull Performer(s): Lindisfarne; Alan Hull
Ive travelled the land With a guitar in my hand And an eye ever open for some fun Ive made some mistakes Had my share of the breaks Seen the boys on the make and on the bum
Chorus: Run for home run as fast as I can Oh-oh running man running for home Run for home run as fast as I can Oh-oh running man running for home
Ive seen all the frowns On the faces of the clowns And the downs that they take just to be free And Ive seen all the girls In their pretty frocks and curls But it dont mean a lot to me Chorus
And Ive been to the places in town Where the faces hang round Just to stare at each other Ive looned with them screamed at the moon Behaved like a buffoon but I soon discovered Chorus
Copperhead Road Composer(s): Steve Earle First release by: Steve Earle - 1988 Covered by multiple other artists
Well my name's John Lee Pettimore Same as my daddy and his daddy before You hardly ever saw Grandaddy down here He only came to town about twice a year He'd buy a hundred pounds of yeast and some copper line Everybody knew that he made moonshine Now the revenue man wanted Grandaddy bad He headed up the holler with everything he had It's before my time but I've been told He never came back from Copperhead Road Now Daddy ran the whiskey in a big block Dodge Bought it at an auction at the Mason's Lodge Johnson County Sheriff painted on the side Just shot a coat of primer then he looked inside Well him and my uncle tore that engine down I still remember that rumblin' sound Well the sheriff came around in the middle of the night Heard mama cryin', knew something wasn't right He was headed down to Knoxville with the weekly load You could smell the whiskey burnin' down Copperhead Road
I volunteered for the Army on my birthday They draft the white trash first, 'round here anyway I done two tours of duty in Vietnam And I came home with a brand new plan I take the seed from Colombia and Mexico I plant it up the holler down Copperhead Road Well the D.E.A.'s got a chopper in the air I wake up screaming like I'm back over there I learned a thing or two from ol' Charlie don't you know You better stay away from Copperhead Road

Copa Luz Composer(s): Cirino; Sérgio Costa Performer(s): Raimundo Fagner
Pela luz que ilumina O traçado e a triz Não importa que seja de giz Ela é como sempre eu quis Rua aberta a caminho do mar Meu amor você vai me encontrar Numa rua qualquer por aí Riso largo de tanto sorrir Peito aberto de tanto de amar
Eu moro em Copacabana Eu moro em Copacabana Coração da América Coração da América do Sul
As the wind blows through the trees It sometimes seems to whisper, he is calling me Then when the rain falls upon the ground I often think that its him following me I dont stop to see if hes behind me I just keep on going, he must never find me He thinks I still belong to him Someone must run, I said someone must run
The sun is sinking from the sky I see a shadow and I think it must be him Sometimes I see someone with their back towards me I think it could just be him If the telephone rings, I dont pick it up If someone knocks at the door, it remains shut What would he do if he found me? Someone must run, I said someone must run
As the wind blows through the trees It sometimes seems to whisper, he is calling me Then when the rain falls upon the ground I often think that its him following me I dont stop to see if hes behind me I just keep on going, he must never find me He thinks I still belong to him Someone must run, I said someone must run

Copa De Vino Composer(s): Luis Demetrio Performer(s): Javier Solís
Alcé mi copa de vino para brindar por tu muerte porque es la única forma que puede mi alma dejar de quererte Alcé mi copa de vino para brindar por tu ausencia para pedirle a mi sino no volver a verte más por mi camino
Contigo sólo el sufrimiento conocí y felicidad nunca compartí Y, sin embargo, yo de ti me enamoré pues llegué a creer en la mentira de tu amor
Alcé mi copa de vino para brindar por tu muerte porque es la única forma que puede mi alma dejar de quererte

Cootamundra Wattle Composer(s): John Williamson Performer(s): John Williamson
Don't go lookin' through that old camphor box woman You know those old things only make you cry When you dream upon that little bunny rug It makes you think that life has passed you by There are days when you wish the world would stop woman But then you know some wounds would never heal But when I browse the early pages of the children It's then I know exactly how you feel
Hey it's July and the winter sun is shining And the Cootamundra wattle is my friend For all at once my childhood never left me 'Cause wattle blossoms bring it back again
It's Sunday and you should stop the worry woman Come out here and sit down in the sun Can't you hear the magpies in the distance? Don't you feel the new day has begun? Can't you hear the bees making honey woman In the spotted gums where the bellbirds ring? You might grow old and bitter 'cause you missed it You know some people never hear such things
Hey it's July and the winter sun is shining And the Cootamundra wattle is my friend For all at once my childhood never left me 'Cause wattle blossoms bring it back again
Don't buy the daily papers any more woman Read all about what's going on in hell They don't care to tell the world of kindness Good news never made a paper sell There's all the colours of the rainbow in the garden woman And symphonies of music in the sky Heaven's all around us if you're looking But how can you see it if you cry
Hey it's July and the winter sun is shining And the Cootamundra wattle is my friend For all at once my childhood never left me 'Cause wattle blossoms bring it back again
Rumors Are Flying Composer(s): Bennie Benjamin; George David Weiss Performer(s): The Andrews Sisters; and various other artists
Rumors are flying That you've got me sighing That I'm in a crazy kind of a daze A lazy sort of a haze When I go walking I hear people talking They say our affair is not just a passing phase
And they whisper 'bout the flowers You keep sending me by the dozen And they wonder 'bout the hours That you spend with me, it keeps them buzzin'
Rumors are flying And I'm not denying That people are sure I'm falling in love with you 'Cause for a change, darling All the rumors are true
And they whisper all about the flowers The many little flowers you keep sending me by the dozen And they wonder all about the hours That you spend with your baby, what do you do-do-do That keeps 'em buzzin' all the time, all the time
Rumors are flying And I'm not denying That people are sure I'm falling in love with you 'Cause for a change, darling All the rumors are true
