Todo A Pulmón Composer(s): Alejandro Lerner Performer(s): Alejandro Lerner and multiple other artists
Que difícil se me hace mantenerme en este viaje sin saber a dónde voy en realidad si es de ida o de vuelta si el furgón es la primera si volver es una forma de llegar
Que difícil se me hace cargar todo este equipaje se hace dura la subida al caminar esta realidad tirana que se ríe a carcajadas porque espera que me canse de buscar
Cada nota cada idea cada paso en mi carrera y la estrofa de mi última canción cada fecha postergada la salida y la llegada y el oxígeno de mi respiración y todo a pulmón todo a pulmón
Que difícil se me hace mantenerme con coraje lejos de la transa y la prostitución Defender mi ideología buena o mala pero mía tan humana como la contradicción
Que difícil se me hace seguir pagando el peaje de esta ruta de locura y ambición un amigo en la carrera una luz y una escalera y la fuerza de hacer todo a pulmón
I Dream Of Brownie With The Light Blue Jeans Composer(s): Stephen Foster; Sol Meyer; Spike Jones Performer(s): Spike Jones
I dream of Brownie with the light blue jeans She is as sweet as liquorice jelly beans I dream of Brownie and with passion I burn For of all the smiles I've seen there's none like her'n When my nights are lonely and go from bad to worse Brownie sings to me and I thrill to her verse She makes me happy and she makes me feel merrier Brownie is my favour-ite black haired terrier
I love Brownie better than Jeannie, Jeannie I love Brownie better than Jeannie without the hair I will not forget, forget the night I called I looked for Jeannie's light brown hair And found that she was bald
I dream of Jeannie with the (pop, whistle & cow bell) She is so (pop) that I could almost (car horn) I dream of Jeannie with the (pop, whistle & cow bell) Ev'ry time I look at her I (grunt, grunt, grunt) Ev'ry time I (gunshot) her, I could almost (car horn) Ev'ry time I (gunshot) her, I (gil-ulp, gil-ulp, gulp) I dream of Jeannie with the (bell, ascending whistle, Neigh) Jeannie is my queenie, for I love her so
Jesus The Missing Years Composer(s): John Prine Performer(s): John Prine
It was raining it was cold West Bethlehem was no place for a twelve year old So he packed his bags and he headed out To find out what the world's about He went to France he went to Spain He found love he found pain He found stores so he started to shop But he had no money so he got in trouble with a cop
Kids in trouble wiht the cops from Israel didn't have no home So he cut his hair and moved to Rome It was there he met his Irish bride And they rented a flat on the lower east side Of Rome Italy that is Music publishers, book binders, bible belters Swimming pools, orgies and lots of pretty Italian chicks
Charley bought some popcorn Billy bought a car Someone almost bought the farm But they didn't go that far Things shut down at midnight At least around here they do Cause we all reside down the block inside At 23 skidoo
Wine was flowing so were beers So Jesus found his missing years He went to a dance and said, "This don't move me" So he hiked up his pants and he went to a movie On his thirteenth birthday he saw 'Rebel Without a Cause' He went straight on home and invented Santa Claus Who gave him a gift And he responded in kind He gave the gift of love and went out of his mind
You see him and the wife wasn't getting along So he took out his guitar and he wrote a song Called 'The Dove Of Love Fell Off The Perch' But he couldn't get divorced in the Catholic Church At least not back then anyhow Jesus was a good guy he didn't need this shit So he took a pill with a Coca-Cola and he swallowed it He discovered the Beatles He recorded with the Stones Once he even opened up a three way package For old George Jones
The years passed by like sweet little days With babies crying pork chops and Beaujolais When he woke up he was seventeen The world was angry the world was mean Why the man down the street and the kid on the stoop All agreed that life stank all the world smelled like poop Baby poop that is the worst kind
So he grew his hair long and threw away his comb And headed back to Jerusalem to find mom, dad and home But when he got there the cupboard was bare Except for an old black man with a fishing rod He said, "Whatcha gonna be when you grow up?" Jesus said "God" Oh my God what have I gotten myself into? I'm a human corkscrew and all my wine is blood They're gonna kill me Mama, they don't like me Bud
So Jesus went to heaven and he went there awful quick All them people killed him and He wasn't even sick So come and gather around me my contemporary peers And I'll tell you all the story Of Jesus ... the missing years
Todo A Mi Favor Composer(s): Adrian Abonizio Performer(s): Juan Carlos Baglietto
Siempre preocupado, como sin destino igual que un marinero recién embarcado siento como cantan el Ave María las viejas del barrio allá en las casillas cara de ladrón, ropa muy antigua como un extranjero en su propia quinta abre la ventana la rubia lijera pero ella solo invita a los que tienen tela perdedor por muchas cabezas ganador de la sutileza mientras que otros persiguen el oro solo me contendo por durar un poco sé que esta no es forma ni filosofía solo la defensa de mi pobre vida tengo esperanzas, no las pierdo porque soy un ganador pero creo que este año me irá peor Por eso la otra tarde con ánimo de lucha yo me fuí p'al centro como quien disfruta pero en el 59 aunque iba muy atento una mano amiga me rapiñó el vento no importa me dijo, vamos pa' adelante sin tener en cuenta que andaba cesante y por andar pensando en esas cosas distraído no vi ni la sombra de ese colectivo Perdedor por muchas cabezas ganador de la sutileza mientras que los otros persiguen el oro solo me contento por durar un poco sé que esta no es forma ni filosofía solo la defensa cuando estaba en vida ahora vivo en una nube que no para de llover pago al día mis impuestos más el alquiler los diarios de aquí arriba son todos oficialistas traen las hojas en blanco con la cara del barbita aquí arriba se comenta que hasta el cielo está empeñado que levanten ese muerto, San Pedro y sus asociados tengo esperanza, no las pierdo porque soy un ganador pero creo que este año me irá peor

Today Is Mine Composer(s): Jerry Reed Hubbard Performer(s): Glen Campbell
When the sun came up this morning I took the time to watch it rise And as its beauty struck the darkness From the sky
I thought how small and unimportant All my troubles seem to be And how lucky another day Belongs to me
And as the sleepy world around me Woke up to greet the day All its silent beauty Seemed to say
So what, my friend, if all your dreams You haven't realized Just look around you You've got a new day to try
Today is mine, today is mine To do with what I will Today is mine My own special cup to fill To die a little that I might learn to live To take from life that I might learn to give Today is mine
Like most men I curse the present Void of peace of mind And race my thoughts beyond tomorrow Envision there a sweeter time
But as I view this day around me I can see the fool I've been For today's the only garden That we can tend
Today is mine, today is mine To do with what I will Today is mine My own special cup to fill To die a little that I might learn to live To take from life that I might learn to give Today is mine

If I stand all alone, will the shadow hide the color of my heart blue for the tears, black for the night's fears The star in the sky don't mean nothin' to you, they're a mirror I don't want to talk about it, how you broke my heart If I stay here just a little bit longer if I stay here, won't you listen to my heart, whoa, heart?
