Trucker's Paradise
Composer(s): Jerry I. Allison
Performer(s): Del Reeves



There's a place called Trucker's Paradise just south of San Berdo
And the drivers all stop in there for a laugh and a cup or two
There's a woman waitin' tables and I'll tell you boys, she's nice
They call her the fallen angel at the Trucker's Paradise

She knows about the roads and the overloads
And fillin' out those phoney logs
And the story 'bout the time when a tire caught fire
And burned up a truckload o' hogs
If coffee goes up to a dollar a cup I suppose we'll pay the price
Just to be with the fallen angel at Trucker's Paradise

No need to ask her what her name is, she won't say
But she's better off than most of us in tips and take home pay
She used to be Miss Washington, almost Miss USA
Then a big producer from Hollywood led her astray
It turned out he was married and her heart turned cold as ice
And that's why they call her the fallen angel of Trucker's Paradise

No need to ask her what her name is, she won't say
She's better off than most of us in tips and take home pay
She used to be Miss Washington, almost Miss USA
Then a big producer from Hollywood led her astray
It turned out he was married and her heart turned cold as ice
And that's why they call her the fallen angel of Trucker's Paradise

And that's why they call her the fallen angel of Trucker's Paradise

I shall sing, sing my song
Be it right, be it wrong
In the night, in the day
Anyhow, anyway, I shall sing

La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la

With my heart, with my soul
For the young, for the old
When I'm high, when I'm low
When I'm first, when I'm slow, I shall sing

La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la

I shall sing, sing my song
Be it right, be it wrong
In the night, in the day
Anyhow, anyway, I shall sing

La la la la la la la la

La la la la la la la la la la la

Edge Of Reality
Composer(s): Bill Giant - Bernie Baum - Florence Kaye
First recording/First release by: Elvis Presley - 1968



I walk along a thin line, darling (Darling)
Dark shadows follow me (Follow Me)
Here's where life's dream lies disillusioned (Disillusioned)
The edge of reality

Oh, I can hear strange voices echo (Echo)
Laughing with mockery (Mockery)
The border line of doom I'm facing (I'm facing)
The edge of reality

On the edge of reality, she sits there tormenting me
The girl with the nameless face
On the edge of reality, where she overpowers me
With fears that I can't explain

She drove me to the point of madness (Madness
The brink of misery (Misery)
If she's not real, then I'm condemned to (Condemned to)
The edge of reality

On the edge of reality, she sits there tormenting me
The girl with the nameless face
On the edge of reality, where she overpowers me
With fears that I can't explain

She drove me to the point of madness (Madness)
The brink of misery (Misery)
If she's not real then I'm condemned to (Condemned to)
The edge of reality

(Reality) Reality
(Reality) Reality
(Reality) Reality
(Reality) Reality
(Reality) Reality
(Reality) Reality
(Reality) Reality
(Reality)....

Trucker's Lament
(aka I Just Don't Look Good Naked Anymore)
Composer(s): Sheb Wooley - Dick Feller
Performer(s): Sheb Wooley
and multiple other artists



I stepped outta the shower and I gotta good look at myself
Pot belly, bald head, man, I thought I was somebody else
I caught my reflection in the mirror on the back of my bathroom door
I just don't look good naked anymore

So, I'm goin' upstairs and turn the bedroom mirror to the wall
I hung it there when I was trim and tall
I'd stand there and smile, and strut and flex until my arms got sore
But I just don't look good naked anymore

Well, I used to go out with the girls
I loved them one and all
Now they don't get very close to me
They're afraid that I might fall

Well, I went to the Doctor for my annual medical exam
Stood there in the buff, suddenly he said "Man"
I said "What is it Doc, some fatal disease, I just gotta know the score"
He said "No, you just don't look good naked anymore

Well, me and my wife had a dance routine
Everybody said it was unique
Now it's only when we're back to back
That we're dancing cheek to cheek

Well, I went to a nudie beech to have some seaside fun
Stretched out in my birthday suit, soakin' up the sun
Somebody yelled, "Hey, there's an old white whale washed up on the shore
I just don't look good naked anymore

Yeah, my arches fell, my chest went to hell
And my butt's a-draggin' the floor
An' I just don't look good naked anymore
No, I just don't look good naked anymore

Composer(s): Bob Dylan

Titles In Other Languages:
1995 - Nous Serons Libres
2006 - Jag Ska Bli Fri



They say ev'rything can be replaced
Yet ev'ry distance is not near
So I remember ev'ry face
Of ev'ry man who put me here
I see my light come shining
From the west unto the east
Any day now, any day now
I shall be released

They say ev'ry man needs protection
They say ev'ry man must fall
Yet I swear I see my reflection
Some place so high above this wall
I see my light come shining
From the west unto the east
Any day now, any day now
I shall be released

Standing next to me in this lonely crowd
Is a man who swears he's not to blame
All day long I hear him shout so loud
Crying out that he was framed
I see my light come shining
From the west unto the east
Any day now, any day now
I shall be released

En descendant le fleuve argent
Qui roule jusqu'au Névada
On voit la plaine qui s'étend
A l'est de Santa Lucia
Les villes s'appellent Natividad
San Miguel ou San Lorenzo
Les filles s'appellent Soledad
Les garçons gardent les troupeaux

C'est là que Jim a rencontré
Sur une route un soir de pluie
Catherine la fille d'un fermier
Et qu'ils s'aimèrent toute la nuit
Le soleil fait briller son or
Dans quelques rares flaques d'eau
Le cactus forme le décor
Le chardon couvre les coteaux

C'est là qu'Adam le sénateur
Est venu finir ses vieux jours
Puis il est mort d'un coup au cœur
On prétend que c'est du mal d'amour
Mais les fleurs couchées par le vent
Semblent prier pour son repos
La lune verse une larme d'argent
Sur la croix blanche du tombeau

En descendant le fleuve argent
Qui roule jusqu'au Névada
On voit la plaine qui s'étend
A l'est de Santa Lucia
Les villes s'appellent Natividad
San Miguel ou San Lorenzo
Les filles s'appellent Soledad
Les garçons gardent les troupeaux

Trova De Edgardo
Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez



Hoy
a mi puerta un pájaro trinó
pero abrí
y una sombra se echó a volar
Hoy
recordé a Edgardo,aquel señor
fumador
de ampolas, que era juglar

Hoy haré una página celeste
trovadicta, trovardiente
Hoy, cantando sólo con la luna
ya que se hizo puta la fortuna
Hoy me trovaré para alegrarme
como Edgardo, sin alarde

Hoy
recordé a Edgardo,aquel señor
fumador
de ampolas, que era juglar
Hoy
a mi puerta un pájaro trinó
pero abrí
y una sombra se echó a volar

I Shall Be Free, No. 10
Composer(s): Bob Dylan
Performer(s): Bob Dylan



I'm just average, common too
I'm just like him, the same as you
I'm everybody's brother and son
I ain't different from anyone
It ain't no use a-talking to me
It's just the same as talking to you

I was shadow-boxing earlier in the day
I figured I was ready for Cassius Clay
I said "Fee, fie, fo, fum, Cassius Clay, here I come
26, 27, 28, 29, I'm gonna make your face look just like mine
Five, four, three, two, one, Cassius Clay you'd better run
99, 100, 101, 102, your ma won't even recognize you
14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, gonna knock him clean right out of his spleen

Well, I don't know, but I've been told
The streets in heaven are lined with gold
I ask you how things could get much worse
If the Russians happen to get up there first
Wowee' pretty scary!

Now, I'm liberal, but to a degree
I want ev'rybody to be free
But if you think that I'll let Barry Goldwater
Move in next door and marry my daughter
You must think I'm crazy!
I wouldn't let him do it for all the farms in Cuba

Well, I set my monkey on the log
And ordered him to do the Dog
He wagged his tail and shook his head
And he went and did the Cat instead
He's a weird monkey, very funky

I sat with my high-heeled sneakers on
Waiting to play tennis in the noonday sun
I had my white shorts rolled up past my waist
And my wig-hat was falling in my face
But they wouldn't let me on the tennis court

I gotta woman, she's so mean
She sticks my boots in the washing machine
Sticks me with buckshot when I'm nude
Puts bubblegum in my food
She's funny, wants my money, calls me "honey"

Now I gotta friend who spends his life
Stabbing my picture with a bowie-knife
Dreams of strangling me with a scarf
When my name comes up he pretends to barf
I've got a million friends!

Now they asked me to read a poem
At the sorority sister's home
I got knocked down and my head was swimmin'
I wound up with the Dean of Women
Yippee! I'm a poet, and I know it
Hope I don't blow it

I'm gonna grow my hair down to my feet so strange
So I look like a walking mountain range
And I'm gonna ride into Omaha on a horse
Out to the country club and the golf course
Carry the New York Times, shoot a few holes, blow their minds

Now you're probably wondering by now
Just what this song is all about
What's probably got you baffled more
Is what this thing here is for
It's nothing
It's something I learned over in England

Edelweiss, Edelweiss
Sois toujours notre emblème
Fleur si blanche, tu te penches
Pour saluer ceux qui t'aiment
Contre l'assaut des vents et des neiges
Le ciel te protège
Edelweiss, Edelweiss
Veilles sur nos montagnes

Edelweiss, Edelweiss
Every morning you greet me
Small and white clean and bright
You look happy to meet me
Blossom of snow, may you bloom and grow
Bloom and grow forever
Edelweiss, Edelweiss
Bless my homeland forever

Edelweiss, Edelweiss
Toi l'amie des nuages
Fleur de neige ou de ciel
Tu vis libre et sauvage
Veill' sur le pays de mes amours
Tout au long des âges
Edelweiss, Edelweiss
Veille sur mon village

Edelweiss, Edelweiss
Quand le ciel fait naufrage
Tu attends le soleil
Dans la nuit des alpages
Car tu sais bien qu'il revient toujours
Après les orages
Edelweiss, Edelweiss
Veille sur mon village

Lei sa bene quel che vuole è un'artista - non bada in giro
Lei si ruba il buio della notte e tinge il giorno in nero

Tu prova a star su in piedi forte e fiero – rubale ogni sensazione
Ma finirai a spiare dalla chiave chino a pecorone

Lei mica inciampa chi non sta su non cade
E' apolide è enne enne la Legge lei manco la vede

Porta un anello assiro se splende ti parlerà
E' un'ipnocollezionista e tu sei una bioantichità

La domenica un inchino il compleanno un'ovazione
A carnevale una trombetta e a Natale un bel torrone

I See Your Face Before Me
Composer(s): Howard Dietz; Arthur Schwartz
First performance by: Jack Buchanan, Evelyn Laye, Adele Dixon - 1937
Covered by multiple other artists



I see your face before me
Crowding my every dream
There is your face before me
You are my only theme
It doesn't matter where you are
I can see how fair you are
I close my eyes and there you are
Always
If you could share the magic
If you could see me too
There would be nothing tragic
In all my dreams of you
Would that my love could haunt you so
Knowing I want you so
I can't erase
Your beautiful face before me

Would that my love could haunt you so
Knowing I want you so
I can't erase
Your beautiful face before me

Eddy
Composer(s): Thijs van Leer - Rosalie Van Leer
Performer(s): Focus



Just like Eddy in the morning
He never said, although he could
I know someone who would, but
He never woke to have an ear

Yes I think of things unnoticed
Like what happens in the egg
As it lies without motion
Just like Eddy's sleeping head

When I come home in the morning
Softly as I tread the dawn
I know things that are important
That have only just begun

I'm gonna fly away
Here I go here I go here I go
I'm gonna fly away
Here I go here I go here I go

Seeing you across the table
Smiles are dying on your face
Being here with my heart open
Seems a little out of place

Trousse Chemise
((Italian Version: Il Bosco E La Riva (Charles Aznavour))
Composer(s): Jacques Mareuil - Charles Aznavour
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour; Barbara; Waldir Calmon



Dans le petit bois de Trousse chemise
Quand la mer est grise et qu'on l'est un peu
Dans le petit bois de Trousse chemise
On fait des bêtises souviens-toi nous deux
On était partis pour Trousse chemise
Guettés par les vieill's derrièr' leurs volets
On était partis la fleur à l'oreille
Avec deux bouteill's de vrai muscadet

On s'était baignés à Trousse chemise
La plage déserte était à nous deux
On s'était baignés à la découverte
La mer était verte, tu l'étais un peu
On a dans les bois de Trousse chemise
Déjeuné sur l'herbe, mais voilà soudain
Que là, j'ai voulu d'un élan superbe
Conjuguer le verbe aimer son prochain

Et j'ai renversé à Trousse chemise
Malgré tes prières à corps défendant
Et j'ai renversé le vin de nos verres
Ta robe légère et tes dix sept ans
Quand on est rentrés de Trousse chemise
La mer était grise, tu ne l'étais plus
Quand on est rentré la vie t'a reprise
T'as fait ta valise t'es jamais r'venue

On coupe le bois à Trousse chemise
Il pleut sur la plage des mortes saisons
On coupe le bois, le bois de la cage
Où le cœur trop sage était en prison

I See You
Composer(s): Roger McGuinn; David Crosby
First release by: The Byrds - 1966



I see you
Under there behind your hair
Everywhere, I see you

I see you
Turned on eyes can't tell lies 
Empathise, I see you
Warm sliding sun through the cave of your hair
Wind washing fields kind of space living there
I see you

I know you 
Met before, seventh floor 
First world war, I know you

Who lives there? 
Tell old fair I'm aware
That she cares, who lives there?

Green specks bright spiralling out in the sky 
Catch my mind, turn my head, have to look, don't know why
Who lives there?

We thought how
For a while they just smile 
Just a silent thought

I see you
Sun is there behind your hair 
Everywhere, I see you
I see you

Eddie, my love, I love you so
How I wanted for you, you'll never know
Please, Eddie, don't make me wait to long

Eddie, please write me one line
Tell me your love is still only mine
Please, Eddie, don't make me wait too long

You left me last September
To return to me before long
But all I do is cry myself to sleep
Eddie, since you've been gone

Eddie, my love, I'm sinking fast
The very next day might be my last
Please, Eddie, don't make me wait too long

You left me last September
To return to me before long
But all I do is cry myself to sleep
Eddie, since you've been gone

Eddie, my love, I'm sinking fast
The very next day might be my last
Please, Eddie, don't make me wait too long

Please, Eddie, don't make me wait too long

Troublesome Trumpet
Composer(s): Michael Carr
Performer(s): Nat Gonella; Bob Crosby & His Orch.; Red Nichols



Troublesome trumpet, tell me why you ruin
Beautiful music, what'cha think you're doin'
Troublesome trumpet, take the wicked thing away

Troublesome trumpet, catch me feeling nervy
Playing these sweet things alway topsy-turvey
Troublesome trumpet, how I wish you wouldn't play

If you don't, you're gonna drive me crazy
Troublesome trumpet, murder on the blue notes
Searing my soul with red-hot burning through notes
Troublesome trumpet, driving me crazy
(stop, stop, love, love, love it)

Troublesome trumpet
Blowin' a blue note
Blowin' a low note
Troublesome trumpet
Blowin' a high note
Blowin' a low note

(Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop)

I See The Rain
Composer(s): William Campbell; Thomas McAleese
Performer(s): Marmalade; Susanna Hoffs



Beautiful day I'd like to lie on the green lawn
The ducks are congregating round, round the lily pond
And the cows have all gone rinning home to put there coats on
Stay indoors, while it pours, till to-morrow

I see the rain again, I must complain again, why does the rain let me down 
Will you try to make it sunny in the morning? 

Five to ten, now it's time for the weather
The sun will shine and in it's time, get better
But it won't last for long, clouds are spreading over London town
Stay indoors, while it pours, till to-morrow

I see the rain again, I'll take the blame again, I see the rain lets you down
But I'm gonna' make it sunny in the morning?
