There's A Lot Of Blue Eyed Marys Down In Maryland Composer(s): Jack Yellen - Milton Ager - Geo. W. Meyer
Maryland, Maryland, you've made chicken famous everywhere Maryland, Maryland, I'm not kickin' but I must declare You've got other chicken too Baby Dolls with eyes of blue They're the sweetest kind Here's what I've got in mind
Maryland, Maryland It's no wonder they've got such blue eyes Maryland, Maryland, they're raised under Heaven's bluest skies Sunbeams find a resting place In each Mary's smiling face Every one's a prize I'm here to put you wise
There's a lot of blue eyed Mary's down in Maryland I'll have you understand, there is no sweeter brand If you want a blue eyed bride just take a ride to Maryland They've got just what you need, yes, indeed Every one comes guaranteed If you want the "best what am," in a wedding gown Be some "Mary's little lamb," follow her around If you'll marry one you'll settle down in Fairyland And raise a lot o' little Mary's down in Maryland
Meu coração não se cansa De ter esperança De um dia ser tudo o que quer Meu coração de criança Não é só a lembrança De um vulto feliz de mulher Que passou por um sonho meu sem dizer adeus E fez dos olhos meus um olhar mais sem fim Meu coração vagabundo Quer guardar o mundo em mim
Run Like The Wind Composer(s): Mike Batt Performer(s): Mike Batt; Barbara Dickson
There's an eagle in the eastern sky turning in the wind Out across the evening, resting on the wing If I had the wings of an eagle There's be no holding me I'd be free, sailing free
Chorus:
One day soon I'm gonna run like the wind One day soon Gonna break away from everything One day soon Nothing in the world's gonna pull me back And nothing's gonna keep me in Gonna run like the wind
And if you should tell me You want to hold me down Before the flow of morning I'd be gone without a sound The more you try to keep me here The less you will succeed Sailing free, sailing free
Run Like Hell Composer(s): David Gilmour; Roger Waters Performer(s): Pink Floyd
You better run like hell You better make your face up in Your favourite disquise With your button down lips and your Roller blind eyes With your empty smiler And your hungry heart Iced the bile rising from your quilty post With your nerves in tatters When the cockleshell shattens And the hammers butter Down the door You better run like hell You better run all day And run all night And keeps your dirty feelings Deep inside Take your girlfriend Out tonight You better park the car Well out of sight 'Cos if they catch your in the back scat Trying to pick her looks They're gonna send you back to mother In a cardboard box You better run
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
Run For The Roses Composer(s): Robert Hunter; Jerry Garcia Performer(s): Jerry Garcia
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---
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
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

Her name was Lola, she was a showgirl With yellow feathers in her hair and a dress cut down to there She would merengue and do the cha-cha And while she tried to be a star, Tony always tended bar Across a crowded floor, they worked from 8 till 4 They were young and they had each other Who could ask for more?

His name was Rico, he wore a diamond He was escorted to his chair, he saw Lola dancin' there And when she finished, he called her over But Rico went a bit too far, Tony sailed across the bar And then the punches flew and chairs were smashed in two There was blood and a single gun shot But just who shot who?

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
