This Song Is Green Composer(s): Billy Nicholls Performer(s): Pete Townshend
Of this man I must Sing a song or turn to dust 'cos I know eventually, he will sing to me Whispering through the leaves Whispering songs of silent bliss Such a love I can't resist And it is both you and me And the stars above Whispering through the leaves Whispering songs of love
But this song is green 'cos the world I've never seen And it's just another light Breaking out the day Bringing on the night What it is I cannot say And the tune I cannot play But I know there is a key Lift your eyes and see It's reality And this song is green
Amanhece na luz da campina Anoitece no meu coração Tanta terra cabe nessa rima Só não cabe minha solidão
Maninha, meu amor Onde é que eu vou? Qual o caminho Há de haver lugar Pra iluminar Nosso carinho
Eu quero todo teu amor Que todo mundo saiba Quero muito fogo Pra toda essa palha Quero um verso novo pra continuar
A fera quer que o mundo morra E todo mundo corra Vem rasgando dólar Vem cuspindo bala Queimando as estrelas Respirando gás Assim a minha natureza não aguenta mais
Fazer amor, fazer amor No paraíso Fazer a luz com teu sorriso é natural Correr atrás do teu amor Tão sem juízo Viver contigo no jardim Dos animais
Por isso o coração dispara Quando você chega Minha noite é cega Meu sonho é de brasa Eu erro de casa E volto sem chegar
Perigo é tudo que separa A dor e o sorriso Porta do inferno Luz do paraíso Quando te procuro não encontro mais Aí a minha natureza não aguenta mais
Crippled Inside Composer(s): John Lennon
Performer(s): John Lennon
You can shine your shoes and wear a suit You can comb your hair and look quite cute You can hide your face behind a smile One thing you can't hide Is when you're crippled inside
You can wear a mask and paint your face You can call yourself the human race You can wear a collar and a tie One thing you can't hide Is when you're crippled inside
Well now you know that your Cat has nine lives Nine lives to itself But you only got one And a dog's life ain't fun Mamma take a look outside
You can go to church and sing a hymn You can judge me by the color of my skin You can live a lie until you die One thing you can't hide Is when you're crippled inside
Well now you know that your Cat has nine lives Nine lives to itself But you only got one And a dog's life ain't fun Mamma take a look outside
You can go to church and sing a hymn You can judge me by the color of my skin You can live a lie until you die One thing you can't hide Is when you're crippled inside
One thing you can't hide Is when you're crippled inside One thing you can't hide
January, April And Me Composer(s): Billy Mize Performer(s): Jimmy Dean; Roy Clark; Dick Curless
In the nineteen-fifty-seven
blue and green, two door sedan We divided all we own, I've packed all that I can The back seat's piled high with things, in the front seat tears are flowin' I'm drivin' down a lonely road without a single thought to where we're goin'
But January, April and me We're pulling out so you can be the girl you wanna be Go get 'em Little Miss Uptown, ride high, ride free But say goodbye to January, April and me
The tiny rocker, teddy bear and dolls are gone and won't be in your way I forgot to take the old pipe you never liked, just throw it away I don't think April understands, but January's cryin' I know what her heart is goin' through Here we are, the three of us leavin' the rest of us Knowin' you're a part of all we do
But January, April and me We're pulling out so you can be the girl you wanna be Go get 'em Little Miss Uptown, ride high, ride free But say goodbye to January, April and me
Spoken: Come here, January Don't cry, Baby Daddy loves you You know you gotta be my big girl now Help Daddy take care of April too Daddy's gonna get you and April a puppy when we get to our new home C'mon, you gonna help Daddy drive Sure, we're gonna be happy....... Sure
Say goodbye to January, April and me January, April and me We're pulling out so you can be...........
This Same Heart Composer(s): Rudolph Friml - Johnny Burke Performer(s): Oreste Kirkop
This same heart that lightly laughed at love This same heart now sighs for you This same heart that told the moon above That it must to be free Now could be true
This same heart that once sang any song Only cares to sing your name This same heart used to say Forever's too long, you changed this heart for me Now it never can be the same
This same heart that once sang any song Only cares to sing your name This same heart used to say Forever's too long, you changed this heart for me Now it never can be the same
Criollita Decí Que Sí Composer(s): Carlos Gardel; Alfredo Le Pera Performer(s): Carlos Gardel; Jorge Sareli
Criollita, decí que sí que ya no alumbra el lucero porque tus ojos que quiero ya no brillan para mí Un pedacito de cielo es mi dicha y es mi antojo y yo lo guardo escondido como un tesoro querido el mechoncito de pelo que me he amarrado a tus ojos
Criollita, no digas nada si al viento doy mi lamento que la amargura que siento está en mi pecho clavada Una florcita me diste y un beso yo te robé y nunca sabrás, chinita todo el daño que me hiciste con el besito robado que aquella tarde perdiste
Criollita, decí que no que de tormento me muero porque tu boca que quiero todo su fuego me dio Dos angustias voy teniendo amarradas en mi pecho y voy llevando maltrecho las penas que voy sufriendo que si tu desdén me mata tu amor me va consumiendo

This Place Hotel Composer(s): Michael Jackson Performer(s): The Jackson 5; The Spinners; Marcus Johnson
Live in sin Ten years ago on this day my heart was yearning I promised I would never ever be returning Where my baby broke my heart and left me yearning Hee-hee!
As we walked to the room There were faces staring, glaring, tearing through me! Someone said welcome to your doom Then they smiled with eyes that looked as if they knew me This is scaring me!
We walked up the stairs, still concealing the gloom There were two girls (Sitting in my room!) She walked up to my face, said this is the place You said meet you right here at noon (Ooh!)
This is Heartbreak Hotel! Welcome to Heartbreak Hotel! So this is Heartbreak Hotel! This place is Heartbreak Hotel!
Hope is dead She thought that I had cheated for another lover I turn my back to see that Im undercover Now I can't convince this girl there ain't no other! Hee-hee!
Someone's evil to hurt my soul Every smile's a trial thought in beguile to hurt me! This is scaring me! Then the man next door had told She's been here in tears for fifteen years! This is scaring me!
We came to this place where the vicious dwelt Found that wicked women (Run this strange hotel!) There was Sefra and Sue, every girl that I knew And my baby said love is through (Ugh!)
This is Heartbreak Hotel! Welcome to Heartbreak Hotel! So evil, Heartbreak Hotel! This place is Heartbreak Hotel! Someones stabbin my heart! (Heartbreak Hotel) This is Heartbreak Hotel! (Heartbreak Hotel) Ten years ago today! (Heartbreak Hotel) This is Heartbreak Hotel! (Heartbreak Hotel)
Hoo!
Someones stabbin my heart! (Heartbreak Hotel) This is Heartbreak Hotel, hoo! (Heartbreak Hotel) Ten years ago today! (Heartbreak Hotel) Hurting my mind, hoo! (Heartbreak Hotel) You break my babys heart! (Heartbreak Hotel) This is Heartbreak Hotel! (Heartbreak Hotel) Just welcome to the scene, woo!
Crimson Ship Composer(s): Tom Evans; Pete Ham Performer(s): Badfinger
My life was coloured, painting pictures out of tune You came from nowhere in a song It might have been the way I laughed, he made the jokes Could only show me what was wrong
He took me flying on his crimson ship He never left me his number He took me flying on his crimson ship Then he was gone and I wondered
Who put the knots on all the crosses on the hill? Why did the old man wash his hands? Who grew the flower that was big enough to kill? And blew the trumpet in the van, a-an
He took me flying on his crimson ship He never left me his number He took me flying on his crimson ship Then he was gone and I wondered Oh-oh, oh-oh
When they were busy throwing kisses at the moon A father lost his mother's son And though they knew the resurrection would be soon The time was spent, they carried on, o-on
He took me flying on his crimson ship He never left me his number He took me flying on his crimson ship Then he was gone and I wondered
Januária Composer(s): Chico Buarque Performer(s): Chico Buarque; and various other artists
Toda gente homenageia Januária na janela Até o mar faz maré cheia Pra chegar mais perto dela O pessoal desce na areia E batuca por aquela Que, malvada, se penteia E não escuta quem apela
Quem madruga sempre encontra Januária na janela Mesmo o sol quando desponta Logo aponta os lados dela Ela faz que não dá conta De sua graça tão singela O pessoal se desaponta Vai pro mar, levanta vela
As you go out it's Independence Day But instead I'll just pour myself a drink It's got to be love, I've never felt this way Oh baby, this one's from the heart
The shadows in the road look like a railroad track I wonder if he's (ever) really comin' back The moon's a yellow stain across the sky Oh baby, this one's from the heart
(Maybe) And I'll go down to the corner and get a racin' form (But) And I should prob'ly wait here by the phone And the brakes need adjustment on the convertible Oh baby, this one's from the heart
The worm is climbin' the other color tree Robin is back against the wall Pour myself a double sympathy Oh baby, this one's from the heart
Blondes, brunettes, and redheads put their hammer down (To put ) don't pound a cold chisel thru my heart But they were nothin' but apostrophes O baby, this one's from the heart
I can't tell, is that a siren or a saxophone? But the roads get so slipp'ry (when it rains) I love you more than all these words can ever say Oh baby, this one's from the heart
Crimson Dragon Tattoo Composer(s): Ray Wylie Hubbard Performer(s): Ray Wylie Hubbard
I have a crimson dragon tattoo And it burns on my arm like the truth Red ink's on my skin It's on my soul too I have a crimson dragon tattoo
Twenty-one silver dollars is what it cost And it was drawn by a fast left hand when I was lost And I did not choose a heart A rose or the cross Twenty-one silver dollars is what it cost
Sometimes it whispers my name Tells me that this life's just a game Whom the gods wish to destroy First drive insane Sometimes it whispers my name
I have a crimson dragon tattoo And it burns on my arm like the truth The red ink's on my skin It's on my soul too I have a crimson dragon tattoo

This One's For You Composer(s): Marty Panzer - Barry Manilow Performer(s): Barry Manilow
This one I'll never sell, they'll never understand I don't even sing it well, I try but I just can't But I sing it every night and I fight to keep it in Cause this one's for you, this one's for you
I've done a hundred songs from fantasies to lies But this one's so real for me that I'm that one who cries And I sing it every night and I fight to hide the tears Cause this one's for you, this one's for you
This one's for you wherever you are To say that nothings been the same since we've been apart This one's for all the love we once knew Like everything else I have, this one's for you Oh-uh-oh
I've got it all, it seems, for all it means to me But I sing of things I miss and things that used to be And I wonder every night, if you might just miss me too And I sing for you, I sing for you
This one's for you wherever I go To say the things I should have said, things that you should know This one's to say that all I can do Is hope that you will hear me sing 'cause this one's for you Oh-uh-oh
This one's for you wherever you are To say that nothings been the same since we've been apart Oh This one's for all the love we once knew

This Ole House ((Finnish Version: Seiska (Kipparikvartetti) - 1955)) Composer(s): Stuart Hamblen First release by: Stuart Hamblen - 1954 Covered by multiple other artists
This ole house once knew my children This ole house once knew my wife This ole house was home and comfort As we fought the storms of life This ole house once rang with laughter This ole house heard many shouts Now she trembles in the darkness When the lightnin' walks about
Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer Ain't a-gonna need this house no more Ain't got time to fix the shingles Ain't got time to fix the floor Ain't got time to oil the hinges Nor to mend no window pane Ain't gonna need this house no longer I'm a-gettin' ready to meet the saints
This ole house is a-gettin' shaky This ole house is a-gettin' old This ole house lets in the rain This ole house lets in the cold On my knees I'm gettin' chilly But I feel no fear or pain 'Cause I see an angel peekin' Through a broken window pane
Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer Ain't a-gonna need this house no more Ain't got time to fix the shingles Ain't got time to fix the floor Ain't got time to oil the hinges Nor to mend no window pane Ain't gonna need this house no longer I'm a-gettin' ready to meet the saints
Now this ole house is afraid of thunder This ole house is afraid of storms This ole house just groans and trembles When the night wind flings its arms This ole house is a-gettin' feeble This ole house is a-needin' paint Just like me it's tuckered out But I'm a-gettin' ready to meet the saints
Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer Ain't a-gonna need this house no more Ain't got time to fix the shingles Ain't got time to fix the floor Ain't got time to oil the hinges Nor to mend no window pane Ain't gonna need this house no longer I'm a-gettin' ready to meet the saints
And my old hound dog lies a sleepin' He don't know I'm gonna leave Else he'd wake up by the fire place And he'd sit down, howl and grieve But my huntin' days are over Ain't gonna hunt the coon no more Gabriel done brought in my chariot When the wind blew down the door
Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer Ain't a-gonna need this house no more Ain't got time to fix the shingles Ain't got time to fix the floor Ain't got time to oil the hinges Nor to mend no window pane Ain't gonna need this house no longer I'm a-gettin' ready to meet the saints I'm ready to meet the saints
Crime Of Passion Composer(s): Mike Oldfield Performer(s): Mike Oldfield; Bamble Bee
On a bright day she passed away in the morning It's a cruel way to take her away with no warning He took her hands through every midnight hour And then saw her fading away like a spring shower
I can see a complete life's time Pictures and posters of times and fashion Nineteen years with no reason or rhyme Taken away in a crime of passion
He stood to see if he could catch her breathing But it was no good, he understood she was leaving He looked outside the frosty window pane And then he saw her moving away, Elizabeth Jane
I can see a complete life's time Pictures and posters of times and fashion Nineteen years with no reason or rhyme Taken away in a crime of passion
I see freedom in sight, it's a long climb But she would not give up the fight for a long time And I see a light come shining in tonight Baby, it's all right We couldn't have changed it with second sight
I can see a complete life's time Pictures and posters of times and fashion Nineteen years with no reason or rhyme Taken away in a crime of passion
I see freedom light shining in the night I see freedom but she wouldn't give up the fight
I see a light go shining in tonight Baby, it's all right We couldn't have changed it with second sight
