Crazy Miranda Composer(s): Grace Slick Jefferson Airplane
Crazy Miranda lives on propaganda she believes anything she reads it could be one side or the other Free Press or Time Life covers Follows newsprint anywhere it leads but still she can't seem to read and nobody knows nobody knows what she needs it could be gloves All the pretty ladies textbooks tell her how to have the "next look" The Bible tells her stay as plain as you are she wants all the pretty boys beside her to write some pretty words to guide her to say they love her body as well as her mind she wants some kind of sign--a sign of gloves oh never mind--she's not your kind
J'habitais un beau pays Où j'ai laissé tous mes amis Le temps passe et je ne peux oublier Ce pays où je ne reviendrai jamais Je suis partie aussi loin Sans croire un seul instant Que je quittais à jamais Tout ce que j'aimais J'y ai laissé le printemps et mes amours de quinze ans Mais toi, je sais, que toujours tu m'attends Je suis triste j'ai le cur gros De ce pays que j'aime beaucoup trop Le temps passe et je ne peux oublier Ce pays où je ne reviendrai jamais Et je ne reviendrai, Ce pays où je ne reviendrai Ce pays où je ne reviendrai jamais
Le vent m'apportait ses plus belles chansons Quand il venait souffler sur ma maison Le temps passe et je ne peux oublier Ce pays où je ne reviendrai jamais Je rêve d'un beau jour Que je serai de retour Et que je pourrai tout recommencer Retrouver le printemps et mes amours de quinze ans Et toi, et toi, toi toujours tu m'attends Mais hélas, c'est bien fini J'ai adieu à mon beau pays Le temps passe et je ne peur oublier Ce pays où je ne reviendrai jamais
The Little Bird ((Danish Version: Fortæl (Birthe Wilke) - 1966)) Composer(s): John D. Loudermilk First release by: John D. Loudermilk - 1962 Covered by multiple other artists
There's a little bird somebody sent Down to the earth to live on the wind Blowing on the wind And she sleeps on the wind This little bird somebody sent
Light and fragile and feathered sky blue Thin and graceful The sun shining through She flys so high up in the sky Way out of reach of human eyes
Light and fragile and feathered sky blue Thin and graceful The sun shining through She flys so high up in the sky Way out of reach of human eyes
Light and fragile she's feathered sky blue Thin and graceful The sun shining through And the only time That she touches ground Is when that little bird, little bird Is when that little bird, little bird Is when that little bird dies

J'ai appris à vivre dans une prison en or Qui m'a fait oublier la lumière du dehors Je suis tellement de gens à la fois Je peux même te laisser le choix
J'ai eu tant d'amis à la fois qui me voulaient du bien Je cherche une fille qui n'a besoin de rien Je pourrais arrêter de jouer Mais j' ne serai Oh !j' ne serai
Jamais jamais J' ne serai jamais là où tu pensais me trouver Jamais jamais J' ne serai jamais du côté où tu m'attendais Jamais
Toi tu crois savoir d'où je viens qui je suis Fais attention tu pourrais être surpris Tu lis dans les journaux des histoires sur ma vie Fais attention ils pourraient avoir menti
Je pourrais te parler je pourrais t'ignorer Je pourrais même te posséder Je te sens venir la démarche assurée Mais tu t'es peut-être trompé J' ne serai J' ne serai
Jamais jamais J' ne serai jamais là où tu pensais me trouver Jamais jamais J' ne serai jamais du côté où tu m'attendais
Jamais jamais J' ne serai jamais là où tu pensais me trouver Jamais jamais J' ne serai jamais du côté du côté où tu m'attendais Oh ! Jamais Non jamais Oh ! Jamais jamais non jamais
Jamais jamais Jamais jamais non jamais Jamais jamais Jamais jamais...
This Kind Of Happy Composer(s): Iris DeMent - Merle Haggard Performer(s): Iris DeMent
I traveled high, I traveled low and there was no place I didn't go looking for this kind of happy with you I had a love, it wasn't right and I spent so many lonely nights yearning for this kind of happy with you
Happy with you, happy with you I love the things that you do It took such a long time that I thought I'd never find this kind of happy with you
Happy with you, happy with you This kind of happy with you
And some day when I draw my final breath I'm gonna know I had the best 'cause I had this kind of happy with you

Jamaica, Say You Will Composer(s): Jackson Browne Performer(s): Jackson Browne; and various other artists
Jamaica was the lovely one, I played her well As we lay in the tall grass where the shadows fell Hiding from the children so they would not tell We would stay there 'till her sister rang the evening bell
Jamaica, say you will Help me find a way to fill these empty hours Say you will come again tomorrow
The daughter of a captain on the rolling seas She would stare across the water from the trees Last time he was home he held her on his knees And said the next time they would sail away just where they pleased
Jamaica, say you will Help me find a way to fill these lifeless sails And stay until my ships can find the sea
Jamaica was a sweet young one, I loved her true She was a comfort and a mercy through and through Hiding from this world together, next thing I knew We had brought her things down to the bay -- what could I do
Jamaica, say you will Help me find a way to fill these sails And we will sail until our waters have run dry
I can't believe I'm actually doing this I guess I should have stayed in bed my pillow wrapped around my head instead of waking up to find a nightmare of a different kind She went away this just doesn't seem to be my day She didnt have to say a lot her pretty eyes revealed the plot there's someone else she wanted more and so I walked her to the door what could I say? this just doesn't seem to be my day My oh my, oh my oh my how sad am I, how sad am I I wish she would have stayed this just doesn't seem to be my day My whole world is upside down she turned my smile into a frown I can't understand the shape I'm in got to get to my feet again can't stay this way this just doesn't seem to be my day

This Is Your World Composer(s): Bettye Crutcher - Homer Banks Performer(s): Sam & Dave
This is your world, I'm just livin' in it This is your world, I'm just livin' in it I'm all wrapped up in you, baby 'Cause without you I couldn't live Every moment, every moment we're away from each other Happiness will fade & my sorrow will breathe This is your world, I'm just livin' in it This is your world, I'm just livin' in it You're my sunshine & you are my rain You can bring me joy or you can bring me pain You control my very soul What I like about your love, that it never grow old This is your world, I'm just livin' in it This is your world, I'm just livin' in it A sad thing about it that I don't understand How can a woman have so much power over a man? If heaven can beat this, love, I'd wring her both hands Oh you're in charge, mama, what a sweet command This is your world, I'm just livin' in it This is your world, I'm just livin' in it...
This Is Your Life Composer(s): Jimmy Webb Performer(s): The 5th Dimension and multiple other artists
This is your life you're living And it's the only one you've got It's your life you're giving Don't you think it's time you asked yourself for what?
This is your life, not a game that you play It's your life and you're throwing it away You're a runaround The worst one in our end of town And everyone knows that I still love you so
That precious wine you're tasting will be bitter when you're done It's your life you're wasting Don't you think it's sad you had to start so young?
This is your life, not a merry-go-round It's your life, boy, and you can't live it down You're a runaround The worst one in our end of town Yes, everyone knows that I still love you so
This is your life Not just something to do This is your life And it's my life, too
This is your life I know it's your life I'm saying, don't throw it away This is your life but it's my life too This is your life They say you're a runaround I know it's your life but it's my life too
Crazy Love Composer(s): Paul Anka Performer(s): Paul Anka
Crazy love it's just a crazy love I love you so but I still know It's a crazy love
Crazy love it's just a crazy love What must I do to get through to you Oh my crazy love
Everything's wrong heaven above Set me free from this crazy love
Don't don't don't don't you see What you are doing to me You upset my heart right from the start With your crazy love Crazy love, crazy love Crazy love, crazy love
Jamaica Farewell Composer(s): Lord Burgess Performer(s): Harry Belafonte; and various other artists
Down the bay where the nights are gay And the sun shines daily on the mountain top I took a trip on a sailing ship And when I reached Jamaica I made a stop
But I'm sad to say I'm on my way Won't be back for many a day My heart is down, my head is turning around I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town
Down the market you can hear Ladies cry out while on their heads they bear `Akey' rice, salt fish are nice And the rum is fine any time of year
Sounds of laughter everywhere And the dancing girls sway to and fro I must declare my heart is there Though I've been from Maine to Mexico
This Is Where I Came In Composer(s): Barry Gibb - Robin Gibb - Maurice Gibb Performer(s): Bee Gees
I've seen this story I read it over once or twice I said like you say A little bit of bad advice I've been in trouble Happened to me all my life I lie and you lie And who will get the sharpest knife You should meet somebody like that Not the kind of man to throw his hat into the ring and Go down without following through The day turns into night Go down, following through, the day turns into night
Whoa This is just where I came in
All mine to own But I'll go anywhere Yes, I'll go anywhere with you Time has gone But I'll go anywhere Yes, I'll go anywhere with you
This is the danger zone This is where I came in They don't know what they do Forgive them of their sins (They know) They cannot take away What you have given me
Whoa This is just where I came in
Fade into color And color into black and white Under the bed clothes Everything will be alright I know that you know Nothing ever stays the same Said so, I said so A lover never speak it's name
I'm gonna find somebody like you Maybe with a brain and a body too You could never make a move on a woman that leads me on She got a little bit of something for everyone It's a little too late And the bluff is on the run
All mine to own But I'll go anywhere Yes, I'll go anywhere with you Time has gone But I'll go anywhere Yes, I'll go anywhere with you
I always told myself I would regret this day That I would fall apart And watch you walk away (To cry) As you would cry out loud And I would stand aside
