There's Only Alice
Composer(s): Tom Waits - Kathleen Brennan
Performer(s): Tom Waits
It's dreamy weather
whe're on you waved your crooked wand
Along an icy pond
with a frozen moon
Murder of silhouette crows
I saw in the tears on my face
and the skates on the pond
they spelled Alice
I disappear in your name
but you must wait for me
Somewhere beneath the sea
there's a wreck of a ship
Your hair is like meadowgrass on the tide
and the raindrops on my window
and the ice in my drink
Baby all I can think of is Alice
Arithme-tic arithme-tock
turn the hands back on the clock
How does the ocean rock the boat?
How did the razor find my throat?
The only strings that hold me here
are tangled up around the pier
And so secret kiss
brings madness with the bliss
And I will think of this
when I'm dead in my grave
Set me adrift and I'm lost in your hair
and I must be insane
to go skating on your name
and by tracing it twice
I fell though the ice of Alice
There's only Alice
¡Canta mi chacarera! la primavera llorando está Nunca, yo se qué nunca su voz de pájaro se callará Porque esa voz no muere... ¡Nunca morirá! Vivirá en el rescoldo de la eternidad... ¡Canta mi chacarera! la primavera llorando está ¡Canta! Jacinto Piedra todo Santiago llora por vos ¡Canta! Porque en tu canto cantamos todos tu triste adiós... No quise verlo muerto... ¡Nunca morirá! El seguirá cantando como el cardenal ¡Canta mi chacarera! ¡Jacinto Piedra no morirá! Vivirá con su pueblo que no lo olvidó Y en esta chacarera le dejo mi adiós... Lo bauticé Jacinto porque era una flor Piedra, porque era un viento... ¡Duro p' al dolor!
There's Nobody Home On The Range Anymore Performer(s): Chris LeDoux
The old man used to dream of the fortunes he'd seek now he lives in a room where you pay by the week His hands are all battered, his pony's gone lame and his bones always ache when the sky looks like rain
There's nobody home on the range anymore they closed down the bunk-house and padlocked the door Now there' s oil-wells and motels and folks by the score but there's nobody home on the range anymore
Now the eagle stopped flying, the nightwind is still and the last cow' s howling on some lonely hill The old man is longing to take it all down in his final box outside of town
There's nobody home on the range anymore they closed down the bunk-house and padlocked the door Now there' s oil-wells and motels and folks by the score but there's nobody home on the range anymore
Because he knows his last mountai is two flights of stairs and his saddle turned into an old rocking chair Mornings he wakews up and wander what for 'cause there' s nobody home on the range anymore
There's nobody home on the range anymore they closed down the bunk-house and padlocked the door Now there' s oil-wells and motels and folks by the score but there's nobody home on the range anymore
Cosmic Cowboy Composer(s): Michael Martin Murphy Performer(s): Michael Martin Murphy
Merry-go-rounds and burial grounds Are all the same to me Horses on post and kids and ghosts Are spirits that we ought to set free Then city slicker pickers got a lot of Slicker licks than me But ridin' the range and acting strange Is where I want to be
And I just wanna be a cosmic cowboy I just wanna ride and rope and hoot (hoot!) Well I just wanna be a cosmic cowboy A supernatural country rockin' galoot
Well skinny dippin' and Lone Star sippin' and steel guitar And are just as good as Hollywood and some boogie-woogie bars I'm gonna buy me a vest and a head out west My little woman and myself And when we come to town the people gather around And marvel at the little baby's health
And I just wanna be a cosmic cowboy I just wanna ride and rope and hoot (hoot!) Well I just wanna be a cosmic cowboy A supernatural country rockin' galoot
A big raccoon and a harvest moon Keep rolling through my mind And a home on the range where the antelope play Is sometimes hard to find So don't bury me on the lone prairie I'd rather play there alive Well, I'm doing my best I keep my farm in the west My little bronco in over-drive
And I just wanna be a cosmic cowboy I just wanna ride and rope and hoot (hoot!) Well I just wanna be a cosmic cowboy A supernatural country rockin' galoot
Jabberwocky Composer(s): Lewis Carroll Performer(s): Donovan; Radhika Miller; Kenneth Williams
'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves Did gyre and gimble in the wabe All mimsy were the borogoves And the mome raths outgrabe "Beware the Jabberwock, my son! The jaws that bite, the claws that catch! Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun The frumious Bandersnatch!"
He took his vorpal sword in hand Long time the manxome foe he sought! So rested he by the Tumtum tree And stood awhile in thought
And, as in uffish thought he stood The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame Came whiffling through the tulgey wood And burbled as it came!
One two! One two! And through and through The vorpal blade went snicker-snack! He left it dead, and with its head He went galumphing back
"And hast thou slain the Jabberwock? Come to my arms, my beamish boy! O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!" He chortled in his joy
'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves Did gyre and gimble in the wabe All mimsy were the borogoves And the mome raths outgrabe
No Way Out of Here Composer(s): Ken Baker First release by: Unicorn - 1976
There's no way out of here, when you come in you're in for good There was no promise made, the part you've played, the chance you took There are no boundaries set, the time and yet you waste it still
So it slips through your hands like grains of sand, you watch it go There's no time to be lost, you'll pay the cost so get it right There's no way out of here, when you come in you're in for good
And never was there an answer, there an answer Not without listening, without seeing
There are no answers here, when you look out you don't see in There was no promise made, the part you've played, the chance you took There's no way out of here, when you come in you're in for good
Ridin' Down The Canyon Composer(s): Gene Autry; Smiley Burnette Performer(s): The Sons Of The Pioneers; and various other artists
When evening chores are over
at our ranch house on the plain And all I've got to do is lay around I saddle up my pony and go ridin' down the trail To watch the evenin' sun go down
Ridin' down the canyon to watch the sun go down A picture that no artist 'ere could paint White-faced cattle lowing, on the mountainside I hear a coyote calling for its mate
Cactus plants are bloomin', sagebrush everywhere Granite spires are standin' all around I'll tell you folks it's heaven to be ridin' down the trail When the evenin' sun goes down
Cactus plants are bloomin' sagebrush everywhere Granite spires are standin' all around I'll tell you folks it's heaven to be ridin' down the trail When the evenin' sun goes down To watch the evenin' sun go down
There's No Stopping Your Heart Composer(s): Michael Bonagura Jr. - Craig Karp Performer(s): Marie Osmond; Donny Osmond
Woke up this morning with you by my side Thought I was dreamin' with my eyes wide open I had to touch you and feel you near Are you really here? I plan to be the one who sticks around Ooh your love could lift me up above the clouds I get so high when I'm with you I may never come down When forever starts There's no stopping, no stopping, no stopping your heart
Like a river it just keeps on rolling 'Till it fills you up to overflow and There's no stopping, no stopping, no stopping your heart
When you touch me it's like paradise Tropical islands and soft moonlight all night It's almost like fallin' in love For the very first time When forever starts There's no stopping, no stopping, no stopping your heart
Like a river it just keeps on rollin' 'Till it fills you up to overflow and There's no stopping, no stopping, no stopping your heart
When you really found it There's no doubt about it There's no stopping, no stopping, no stopping your heart
Like a river it just keeps on rollin' 'Till it fills you up to overflow and There's no stopping, no stopping, no stopping your heart Whoaoaoa Like a river it just keeps on rollin' 'Till it fills you up to overflow and There's no stopping no stopping no stopping your heart
Così Ti Amo ((Adapted from: To Love Somebody (Bee Gees) - 1967)) Composer(s): Robin Gibb - Barry Gibb - Franco Boldrini Performer(s): I Califfi - 1968 and multiple other artists
Versions In Other Languages: 1967 - Si J'avais Le Courage (Herbert Léonard) 1992 - Como Tú Sabes (Pandora)
Quando il sole sorge su dal mar e splende su di noi ed io ti stringo a me così ti amo così ti amo
Nel silenzio sento il tuo respiro confuso con il mio e credo di sognare così ti amo così ti amo
Io vivrò qui con te io vivrò qui con te Ed ogni giorno grideremo al mare come ci amiamo
C'è la pace che volevi tu nessuno tra di noi ed io mi sento ricco e tu sei bella come nessuna
Ed il tuo viso che ho davanti a me mi parla e mi sorride e splende con il sole così ti amo così ti amo
Io vivrò qui con te io vivrò qui con te Ed ogni giorno grideremo al mare come ci amiamo
Mama, Mama, Mama There's dancing in the street Elana and Deborah Have wings upon their feet The town is filled with laughter And all the people shout Oh, Ma, Ma, Ma, Ma, Mama We must hurry out
Oh where, where's a ribbon To tie around my hair?
Mama!
They gather in the marketplace From every distant land Each dancer of the Hora knows That love's a common band And there is one among them So winsome and so fair Oh Ma, Ma, Ma, Ma, Mama We must hurry there
There's danger in his flashing eyes His laugh is wild and free (Hey!) He's stronger than a dozen men He's taller than a tree (Hey!) And when I look into his eyes I know he'll understand Oh Ma, Ma, Ma, Ma, Mama May I hold his hand?
And if he wants to marry me And if you should agree Oh, Mama, Mama, Mama How happy I would be!
There's No Stopping Us Now Composer(s): Brian Holland - Eddie Holland - Lamont Dozier Performer(s): Diana Ross & The Supremes
There's no stopping us now Now that we found our way There's no stopping us now Our love is here to stay Foolishly we've been apart Breaking each other's heart Stubbornness and foolish pride Caused us to push love aside The loneliness from being apart Opened up our eyes To the love that was always there Deep inside
Now that we've faced the unknown And we can't make it alone We're closer together more now then ever For now that we've found love We've got to hold on love
There's no stopping us now This time love's here to stay There's no stopping us now Now we have found our way The precious hours we have lost We'll never regain But together we'll fill the hours that remain The loneliness we have known We'll push behind Together forever We'll make up for all lost time
Now we're in each other's arms Nothing can do us harm Nothing can shake us Nothing can break us We'll be together Forever and ever
There's no stopping us now This time love's here to stay There's no stopping us now Together we've found the way Never again shall foolish pride keep us apart Never again shall stubbornness break our hearts There's no stopping us now Now that we've found our way Would you believe? There's no stopping us now Now that love's here to stay There's no stopping us now Now that we've...

Rutina (Rotina) Composer(s): Roberto Carlos; Erasmo Carlos Performer(s): Roberto Carlos
O sol ainda não chegou
e o relógio há pouco despertou Da porta do quarto ainda na penumbra eu olho outra vez Seu corpo adormecido e mal coberto quase não me deixa ir Fecho os olhos, viro as costas, num esforço eu tenho que sair
A mesma condução, à mesma hora, os mesmos pensamentos chegam Meu corpo está comigo mas meu pensamento ainda está com ela Agora eu imagino suas mãos buscando em vão minha presença Em nossa cama Eu gostaria de saber o que ela pensa
Estou chegando para mais um dia de trabalho que começa Enquanto lá em casa ela desperta pra rotina do seu dia Eu quase posso ver a água morna a deslizar no corpo dela Em gotas coloridas pela luz que vem do vidro da janela
Um jeito nos cabelos colocando seu perfume preferido Diante do espelho aquilo tudo ela esconde num vestido Depois de um café o olhar distante ela se perde pensativa Acende um cigarro, e olhando a fumaça pára e pensa em mim
O dia vai passando, a tarde vem e pela noite eu espero Vou contando as horas que me separam de tudo aquilo que mais quero Meu rosto se ilumina num sorriso no momento de ir embora Não posso controlar minha vontande de sair correndo agora
O trânsito me faz perder a calma e o pensamento continua Pensando em minha volta, muitas vezes ela vem olhar a rua A porta se abre de repente e eu me envolvo inteiro nos seus braços
E o nosso amor começa E só termina quando nasce mais um dia Um dia de rotina (O sol ainda não chegou)
Theres No Room In My Heart For The Blues Composer(s): Zeb Turner - Fred Rose Performer(s): Hank Williams
There's no room in my heart for the blues Love is satisfied to either win or lose Darling if our pathway parts Let's that be no broken hearts There's no room in my heart for the blues
There's no room in my mem'ry for tears We left back on and be forgotten souvenirs If your hungry heart forgets Let there be no sad regrets There's no room in my heart for the blues
There's no room in my life for a sigh We'll be strong enough to face our last goodbye Darling when our romance ends Let us part as best of friends There's no room in my heart for the blues
There's no room in my heart for the blues Love is satisfied to either win or lose Darling if our pathway parts Let's that be no broken hearts There's no room in my heart for the blues
Un altro sole, quando viene sera Sta colorando l'anima mia Potrebbe essere, di chi spera Ma nel mio cuore é solo mia
E mi fa piangere sospirare Cosí celeste, she's my baby E mi fa ridere bestemmiare E brucia il fuoco, she's my baby
Gli occhi si allagano, e la ninfea Galleggia in fiore, che maggio sia E per amarti meglio, amore mio Figliamo rose lo voglio anch'io
Lei mi fa vivere e accende il giorno Cosí celeste, she's my baby Come un pianeta che mi gira intorno E brucia il fuoco, she's my baby
Uh uh uh uh Lei lo fa come avesse sete Uh uh uh uh Oh I don't know Sulla mia pelle lieve come neve
E mi fa piangere sospirare Cosí celeste, she's my baby E mi fa ridere e bestemmiare E brucia il fuoco, she's my baby Lei mi fa vivere e accende il giorno Cosí celeste, she's my baby Come un pianeta che mi gira intorno E brucia il fuoco, she's my baby
Potrebbe essere, di chi spera Ma nel mio cuore, ... é mia
Ruta Del Coya Composer(s): León Gieco; Luis Gurevich Performer(s): Mitimaes
todo el tema el riff Dios sol, Dios agua que cae del cielo gris al alma Viento que arrastra voces que no se quieren ir Río que se llevó sangre, barro y paja por sueños
Dios sal, Dios lágrimas Un horizonte en cruz en Jama Allá bien alto, donde el metal no alcanza, crecen tus alas, nieve quieta y naciente el alba
Dios luz, Dios luna Un campo de estrellas, altura... Rosa de estos vientos en América inmolada Ruta del coya, rabia de siglos en marcha
Dios paz, Dios guerra Le dan sepultura en tierra Van reclamándole una primavera por nacer Muerte y salvación por el camino del ángel
Dios da, Dios quita Le cuesta ver donde está la herida Nunca hubo un lugar donde se le pueda preguntar
No Place On Earth Like Australia Performer(s): Slim Dusty
Let them sing away of sunny California Sing of Texas and New York and Tennessee Let them sing of all the joys of Oklahoma But it's good old Oz, that's the place for me
Oh there's no place on Earth like Australia Sure and good old Oz is good enough for me Oh there's no place on Earth like Australia Sure and good old Oz is where I'll always be
There's the cloudless, clear blue skies of sunny Queensland With its beaches and its magic tropic isles There's the wealth of Weipa, Greenvale and Mount Isa And the sugar canes so green when nature smiles
Oh there's no place on Earth like Australia Sure and good old Oz is good enough for me Oh there's no place on Earth like Australia Sure and good old Oz is where I'll always be
Aren't you proud that you are living in Australia With its golden west, its cattle and its sheep With Mount Newman and Tom Price in West Australia Where the wheels of progress never, ever sleep
Oh there's no place on Earth like Australia Sure and good old Oz is good enough for me Oh there's no place on Earth like Australia Sure and good old Oz is where I'll always be
Oh there's everything on Earth in our Australia There's our Arnhem Land, the land of rock and ridge Oh I'd waste your time to sing of San Francisco When there's Sydney, with its harbour and its bridge
Oh there's no place on Earth like Australia Sure and good old Oz is good enough for me Oh there's no place on Earth like Australia Sure and good old Oz is where I'll always be
Oh there's no place on Earth like Australia Sure and good old Oz is good enough for me Oh there's no place on Earth like Australia Sure and good old Oz is where I'll always be
Cose Della Vita Performer(s): Eros Ramazotti & Tina Turner
Sono umane situazioni quei momenti fra di noi I distacchi e i ritorni Da caprici niente poi Già ... come vedi Sto pensando a te ... si ... da un po Sono umane condizioni Stare bene oppure no Può dipendere dai giorni Dalle nostalgie che ho Già ... come vedi Sto pensando a te Come se questo tempo non fosse passato mai Dove siamo stati, cosa siamo poi Confinanti di cuore solo che ognuno sta Dietro gli steccati degli orgogli suoi Sto pensando a te Sto pensando a noi Sono cose della vita Vanno prese un po cosi È già stata una fatica Arrivare fino qui Già ... come vedi Io sto ancora in piedi Perché Sono umani tutti i sogni miei Con le mani io li prenderei, si perché Sono umani questi sogni miei Con le mani io li prenderei Sono cose della vita Ma la vita poi dovè Se da quando è partita Un inseguimento è Già ... come vedi Sto pensando anchora a te Questa notte che passa piano accanto a me Cerco di affrontarla, afferrarla E se prendo le curve del cuore sbandando un po voglio provocarla anche adesso che Sto pensando a te Sto pensando a noi Da un po ... Già Da un po ...
