Going Mobile


Going Mobile
Composer(s): Pete Townshend
Performer(s): The Who;
Peter Mossman; Pete Townshend



I'm goin' home
And when I wanna go home
I'm goin' mobile
Well, I'm gonna find a home
And we'll see how it feels
Goin' mobile
Keep me movin'

I can pull up by the curb
I can make it on the road
Goin' mobile
I can stop in any street
And talk with people that we meet
Goin' mobile
Keep me movin'

Out in the woods
Or in the city
It's all the same to me
When I'm drivin' free, the world's my home
When I'm mobile

Hee, hoo!
beep beep!

Play the tape machine
Make the toast and tea
When I'm mobile
Well I can lay in bed
With only highway ahead
When I'm mobile
Keep me movin'

Keep me movin'
Over 50
Keep me groovin'
Just a hippie gypsy

Come on move now
Movin'
Keep me movin', yeah

Keep me movin', groovin', groovin', yeah
Movin', Yeah
Mobile, mobile, mobile, mobile, ...

I don't care about pollution
I'm an air-conditioned gypsy
That's my solution
Watch the police and the tax man miss me
I'm mobile
Oooooh, yeah, hee!

Mobile, mobile, mobile yeah

Yesterday Dreams


Yesterday Dreams
((French Version: C'est Pas Facile (Johnny Hallyday) - 1981))
Composer(s): Brian Cadd
First release by: Brian Cadd - 1978



Lonely summer needing rain, standing quietly going insane
Said, "I love you", you never heard a word
Memories that still cause pain, I lost the feeling I can't explain
Still I need you, don't that seem absurd?
Shattered dreams in my heart, always gonna tear us apart
Making it so hard to start all over again

Yesterday dreams, Yesterday dreams
Here they are coming again, Yeah

Fading pictures in my mind, another place, another time
It's the same old song, just another melody
Don't ask me 'cause I don't want to say
He's the reason that keeps me away
I won't go through it again, but you don't even see what I mean
Shattered dreams in my heart, always gonna tear us apart
Making it so hard to start all over again

Yesterday dreams, Yesterday dreams
Here they are coming again

I don't want to lie awake with you at night and wonder why
Looking at your hurting eyes and asking me if it's all a lie
Perfect pattern of part-time love
Always aware we're gonna make it above
What I lost before taking us both nowhere

What you're askin' I can't give, pick up the pieces that'll let you live
And don't ever look back 'cause I won't even be there
Shattered dreams in my heart, always gonna tear us apart
Making it so hard to start all over again

Yesterday dreams, Yesterday dreams, here they are coming again
Yesterday dreams, Yesterday dreams, here they are coming again
Yesterday dreams, Yesterday dreams, here they are coming again

Music
Composer(s): John Miles
Performer(s): John Miles



Music was my first love
And it'll be my last
Music of the future
And music of the past
To live without my music
Would be impossible to do
In this world of troubles
my music pulls me through

Music was my first love
And it'll be my last
Music of the future
And music of the past
And music of the past
And music of the past

Music was my first love
And it'll be my last
Music of the future
And music of the past
To live without my music
Would be impossible to do
'cause in this world of troubles
my music pulls me through

Going In With My Eyes Open


Going In With My Eyes Open
Composer(s): Tony Macaulay
Performer(s): David Soul



You smiled that misty way and something in me said
Remember the last time
Don't fall in love

I walked so blindly in
I fell and hurt my head
Oh I can't forget it
And I won't regret it
I couldn't even stop it if I tried

Only this time I'm going in with my eyes open
I won't make the same mistakes again
This time I'll see the signs and no hearts broken
Won't be so blind and lose my way

It'd be so nice to love
Don't let it end the same
If you get uneasy just let me know
Don't lie or call me by somebody else's name
Oh I couldn't take it
I know it would break it
And I wanna give you
Everything I am

Only this time I'm going in with my eyes open
I won't make the same mistakes again
This time I'll see the signs and no hearts broken
Won't be so blind and lose my way

This time I'm going in with my eyes open
I won't make the same mistakes again
This time I'll see the signs and no hearts broken
Won't be so blind and lose my way

Tarde, Muy Tarde


Tarde, Muy Tarde
Composer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute
Performer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute



Tarde, muy tarde
me preguntas si te miento
cuando sé que sabes bien
que ni yo mismo lo sé
Tarde, muy tarde
no me digas que aún es tiempo
algo más que nuestra piel
ha empezado a envejecer
Te amé tanto
que me da vergüenza
recordarlo...
déjalo estar
deja que es tarde
Tarde, muy tarde
sólo nos guía el cansancio
y ese miedo de perder
lo que ha sido y ya no es
Tarde, muy tarde
tarde para remediarlo
ese tren ya se nos fue
nunca volverá otra vez
Te amé tanto...
que me da vergüenza
recordarlo...
déjalo estar
deja que es tarde
Tarde, tan tarde

Music (Carole King)


Music
Composer(s): Carole King
Performer(s): Carole King



Music is playing inside my head
Over and over and over again
My friend, there's no end to the music...
Ah, summer is over
But the music keeps playing
And won't let the cold get me down
Pictures are forming inside my brain
Soon with the colors they'll rain together and grow
Then don't you know, don't you know there'll be music...
Ah, it's not always easy
But the music keeps playing
And won't let the world get me down

Going In Circles


Going In Circles
Composer(s): Jerry Peters; Anita Poree
Performer(s): The Friends Of Distinction;
and various other artists



I’m an ever rollin’ wheel
Without a destination real
I’m an ever spinning top
Whirling around till I drop

Oh, but what am I to do
My mind is in a whirlpool
Give me a little hope
One small thing to cling to

You got me going in circles
Oh...oh...oh...round and round I go
You got me going in circles
Oh...oh...oh...round and round I go

I’m spun out over you
(Over you, over you, over you)
Over you, over you

I’m a faceless clock
With timeless hopes that never stop
Lord, when I feel that way
Of my soul, my soul at stake

Oh, but what am I to do
My mind is in a whirlpool
Give me a little hope
One small thing to cling to

You got me going in circles
Oh...oh...oh...round and round I go
You got me going in circles
Oh...oh...oh...round and round I go

I’m spun out over you (I need you, baby)
Over you (I need you, baby)
Spun out over you (I need you, baby)
(I need you, baby) Oh, baby (Baby)

I’m spun out (I need you, baby)
I said I’m spun out over you (I need you, baby)
Spun out over you (I need you, baby)
(I need you, baby) Baby, baby

(I need you, baby) I’m spun out
(I need you, baby)

Kites Are Fun


Kites Are Fun
Composer(s): Chris Dedrick
Performer(s): The Free Design
and multiple other artists



I like flying
Flying kites, flying kites, flying kites
Kites are fun, kites are fun, kites are fun

See my kite, it's fun
See my kite, it's green and white
Laughing in its distant flight
All that's between us is a little yellow string
But we like each other more than anything
And we run along together through the field behind my house
And the little drops of rain caress our face and wash my blouse
And we'd like to be a zillion miles away from everyone
'Cause Mom and Dad and Uncle Bill don't realise

Kites are fun, kites are fun, kites are fun
Kites are fun

See my kite, it's green and white
Laughing in its distant flight
All that's between us is a little yellow string
But we like each other more than anything
And we run along together through the field behind my house
And the little drops of rain caress our face and wash my blouse
And we'd like to be a zillion miles away from everyone
'Cause Mom and Dad and Uncle Bill don't realise

I like flying, flying kites, flying kites
Kites are fun, kites are fun, kites are fun
Kites are fun
See my kite, it's fun (See my kite, it's fun)
See my kite, it's fun (See my kite, it's fun)
See my kite, it's fun (See my kite, it's fun)

Museum


Museum
Composer(s): Donovan
Originally performed by: Donovan
Covered by various other artists



I drink sweet wine for breakfast
I slept but an hour or so
I smiled a little in the silence
decding on where to go
meet me under the whale
at the natural history museum
I think that's what she said
a little bit said about having to leave them
yawning in the sun
it's like a child I run
don't do it if you don't want to
I wouldn't do a thing like that
now don't do it if you don't want to
I wouldn't do a thing like that
so little do you think of beauty
isn't it a shame what-ho
maybe you should go get your parents
and make all your troubles go
there she stood in drag
looking cool in astrakhan
she's lookin' a little wiped out
she said I looked like Peter Pan
and yawning in the sun
it's like a child I run
don't do it if you don't want to
I wouldn't do a thing like that
now don't do it if you don't want to
I wouldn't do a thing like that
now don't do it if you don't want to
I wouldn't do a thing like that
now don't do it if you don't want to
I wouldn't do a thing like that
uh-huh

Going Home


Going Home
Composer(s): Antoine "Fats" Domino; Al Young
Performer(s): Fats Domino



Going home tomorrow
Can't stand your evil way
Going home tomorrow
Can't stand your evil way
When you're around me
I'm full of misery all day

I can't go on
I can't go on this way
I can't go on
I can't go on this way
You don't want my loving
So I'm going away to stay

Don't try to find me
Don't even call me on the phone
Don't try to find me
Don't even call me on the phone
I'm better off without you
So won't you leave poor me alone?

Tarde Em Itapuã


Tarde Em Itapuã
Composer(s): Vinícius de Moraes - Toquinho
Performer(s): Maria Bethânia; Pepa D'Elia



Um velho calção de banho
O dia pra vadiar
Um mar que não tem tamanho
E um arco-iris no ar
Depois na praça Caymmi
Sentir preguiça no corpo
E numa esteira de vime
Beber uma água de côco
É bom
Passar uma tarde em Itapuã
Ao sol que arde em Itapuã
Ouvindo o mar de Itapuã
Falar de amor em Itapuã
Enquanto o mar inaugura
Um verde novinho em folha
Argumentar com doçura
Com uma cachaça de rolha
E com olhar esquecido
No encontro de céu e mar
Bem de vagar ir sentindo
A terra toda a rodar
É bom
Passar uma tarde em Itapuã
Ao sol que arde em Itapuã
Ouvindo o mar de Itapuã
Falar de amor em Itapuã
Depois sentir o arrepio
Do vento que a noite traz
É o diz-que-diz-que maçio
Que brota dos coqueirais
E nos espaços serenos
Sem ontem nem amanhã
Dormir nos braços morenos
Da lua de Itapuã
É bom
Passar uma tarde em Itapuã
Ao sol que arde em Itapuã
Ouvindo o mar de Itapuã
Falar de amor em Itapuã

Musette


Musette
Composer(s): Leojac; Flouron
Performer(s): Fréhel



C'était une vraie fleur d'amour
Et quand un jour dans le faubourg
Ses jolis yeux bleus et son regard si beau
Rendaient les hommes amoureux fous
On la rencontrait le sam'di
Dans les musettes de Paris
Dès qu'elle entrait fallait voir tous les copains
Courir pour lui serrer la main
C'était un rayon de bonheur
Qu'elle apportait dans tous les coeurs

Musette, brunette
Jolie poupée d'amour
Quand on a valsé avec toi
On a le béguin malgré soi
Musette, coquette
On t'aimera toujours
C'est toi la reine des musettes
Musette

Mais un beau jour le p'tit Léo
Avec un peu d'accordéon
Dit à Musette: "j'ai l'gros béguin pour toi
Veux-tu te marier avec moi?"
Musette en riant dit: "t'es fou
moi me mettre la corde au cou?
Quitter les amis le Paris le Faubourg
Et mon quartier où j'ai vu l'jour
J'aime mieux rester parmi vous
Je ne veux pas faire de jaloux"

Musette, brunette
Jolie poupée d'amour
Quand on a valsé avec toi
On a le béguin malgré soi
Musette, coquette
On t'aimera toujours
C'est toi la reine des musettes

Out where they say
"Let us be gay"
I'm going Hollywood

I'll ballyhoo
Greetings to you
I'm going Hollywood

Are in that hay

With a sun-kissed baby

And I'm on my way
Here's my beret
I'm going Hollywood

Tarde


Tarde
Composer(s): Canet
Performer(s): Juan Carlos Baglietto



De cada amor que tuve tengo heridas
heridas que no cierran ni sangran todavia
error de haber querido ciegamente
matando inutilmente la dicha de mis dias
Tarde me di cuenta que al final
se vive igual mintiendo
tarde comprendí que mi ilusión
se marchito queriendo
pobre amor que amor que esta sufriendo
la amargura mas tenáz

Y ahora que no es hora para nada
tu boca enamorama me incita una vez más
Y aunque quiera quererte ya no puedo
por que dentro del alma tengo miedo
tengo miedo que se vuelva a repetir
la comedia que me ha hundido en el sufrir
Todo lo que di todo lo perdi
siempre tuve el alma entera
de cualquier manera soportando afrendas
y al final de cuentas me quede sin fé

De cada amor que tuve tengo heridas
heridas que no cierran ni sangran todavia
error de haber querido ciegamente
perdido en un torrente de burlas y mentiras
Sigo en mi rodar sin esperar y sin buscar amores
ya murió el amor porque el dolor
le marchito las flores y aunque llores y me implores
mi ilusión va a devolver
no ves que ya la pobre esta cansada
vencida, destrozada de tanto parecer

Y aunque quiera quererte ya no puedo
por que dentro del alma tengo miedo
tengo miedo que se vuelva a repetir
la comedia que me ha hundido en el sufrir
Todo lo que di todo lo perdi
siempre tuve el alma entera
de cualquier manera
soportando afrendas
y al final de cuentas me quede sin fé

Muro


Muro
Composer(s): Carlos Varela
Performer(s): Miguel Bosé; Ana Torroja



Mojas el pan
En el plato vacío
Y apagas la televisión
Abres la ventana
Y miras afuera
La cuidad te espera
En algún lugar
Sales a la calle
Y llegas al muro
Donde acaban todos
Donde empieza el mar

Cuentas los pasos
Regresando a casa
Y prendes la televisión
Te quedas dormido
Y cuando empieza el himno
Te vas a la cama
Te vas a soñar

Luna
Algo esta sucediendo
Estoy sintiendo que esta vez
Me están dejando solo
Almenos solo
Como la noche ...

Luna

Mojas tu cara
Como cualquier dia
Te vas sin afeitar
Te compras la prensa
Y notas que al muno
Le ha cambiado el rostro
Para bien o mal
Y siguess caminando
Y te vas al muro
Donde acaban todos
Donde empieza el mar

Luna

Algo esta sucediendo
Estoy sintiendo que esta vez
Me están dejando solo
Almenos solo
Como la noche ...

Mojas el pan
En el plato vacío
Y apagas la televisión
Sales a la calle
Y te vas al muro
Donde siempre hay alguien
Donde empieza el mar...

Going For The One


Going For The One
Composer(s): Jon Anderson
Performer(s): Yes;
Adam Wakeman; Rick Wakeman



Get the idea cross around the track
underneath the flank of
thoroughbred racing chasers
Getting the feel as a river flows
Would youlike to go 'n shoot the mountain masses?
And here you stand no taller than the grass sees
And should you really chase so hard
The truth of sport plays rings around you

Going for the one
Going for the one

Get in the way as the tons of water
racing with you crashing thru the rudder
Once at the start you can gamble
that you really surely really mean to finish
After seeing all your sense of fear diminish
As you treat danger a pure collection
As you throw away misconceptions
Going for the one
Going for the one
Going for a
listen in time
taken so high
to touch to move
listen to life
touching touch time
travel twilight
taken so high.
Roundabout, sounding out, love you so
love you so
love you so

Now the verses I've sang
don't add much weight to the story in my head
so I'm thinking I should go and write a punch line
But they're so hard to find
in my cosmic mind
so I think I'll take a look out of the window
When I think about you
I don't feel low
N'should I really chase so hard
The truth of sport plays rings around you
Going for the one
Going for the one
Going for to
listen in time
taken so high
to touch to move
listen to life
touching touch time
travel twilight
taken so high
taking your time
turn on to love
turnstile to one
tender timing
rocking rolling
listen in time
taken so high
to touch to move
listen to life
touching touchtime
travel twilight
taken so high
taking your time
turn on to love
turnstile to one
tender timing
rocking rolling
turn on to love
turnstile to one
tender timing
rocking rolling

Moments decide
Moments delight
Moments in flight
Talk about sending love

Taraunta Tata


Taraunta Tata
Performer(s): Edoardo Bennato



Tu hai i soldi e io la mania
di contraddirti e fare di testa mia
così tutt'al più rischierò
di perdere quello che non ho

Tu sai tutto sulla realtà del mercato
e qui io ammetto di essere negato
ma a inventare quel che non c'è
io forse sono più bravo di te

E se invento una canzone che va
nei supermarket di ogni città
tra surgelati e casse di banane
anche i tuoi conti potranno tornare...

E se invento una melodia
che ti entra in casa e non se va via
nonostante io non conti un granché
tu non puoi fare a meno di me

Tu hai i soldi e io la fortuna
di trovar fiori nella spazzatura
perché a trovare quel che non c'è
io forse sono più bravo di te

Tu hai i soldi e io la mania
i contraddirti e fare di testa mia
così tutt'al più rischierò
di perdere quello che non ho

E gia ho in mente una canzone che fa
tarataraunta-taraunta-ta-ta
e tu fai in modo che un motivo banale
metta le ali e cominci a volare

E se io volo tu guadagni
tu fai diagrammi ed io... sogni
tu sei deciso ed io incoerente
tu hai da perdere ed io... niente

Murder


Murder
Composer(s): David Gilmour
Performer(s): David Gilmour



Some of them standing, some were waiting in the line
As if there was something that they thought they might find
Taking some strength from the feelings that always were shared
And in the background, the eyes that just stared

What was it brought you out here in the dark?
Was it your only way of making your mark
Did you get rid of all the voices in your head?
Do you now miss them and the things that they said?

On your own admission you raised up the knife
And you brought it down ending another man's life
When it was done you just threw down the blade
While the red blood spread wider like the anger you made

I don't want this anger that's burning in me
It's something from which it's so hard to be free
But none of the tears that we cry in sorrow or rage
Can make any difference, or turn back the page

Man, you know I've enjoyed things that kings and queens will never have
In fact, things kings and queens can't never get

Cause if I had kept all of the money I had already spent
I'd woulda been a millionare a long time ago
And women? Well, great googly moogly

Please write my mama
Tell her the shape I'm in
Please write my mama
Tell her the shape I'm in
Tell her pray for me
Forgive me for my sins

Tarara Boom De Ay


Tarara Boom De Ay
Composer(s): Henry J. Sayers
Performer(s): Lottie Collins



A smart and stylish girl you see
Belle of good society
Not too strict, but rather free
Yet as right as right can be!
Never forward, never bold
Not too hot and not too cold
But the very thing, I'm told
That in your arms you'd like to hold!

Ta-ra-ra Boom-de-ay!
Ta-ra-ra Boom-de-ay!
Ta-ra-ra Boom-de-ay!
Ta-ra-ra Boom-de-ay!
Ta-ra-ra Boom-de-ay!
Ta-ra-ra Boom-de-ay!
Ta-ra-ra Boom-de-ay!
Ta-ra-ra Boom-de-ay!

I'm not extravagantly shy
And when a nice young man is nigh
For his heart I have a try
And faint away with tearful cry!
When the good young man, in haste
Will support me round the waist
I don't come to, while thus embraced
Till of my lips he steals a taste!

Ta-ra-ra Boom-de-ay!
Ta-ra-ra Boom-de-ay!
Ta-ra-ra Boom-de-ay!
Ta-ra-ra Boom-de-ay!
Ta-ra-ra Boom-de-ay!
Ta-ra-ra Boom-de-ay!
Ta-ra-ra Boom-de-ay!
Ta-ra-ra Boom-de-ay!

I'm a timid flow'r of innocence
Pa says that I have no sense
I'm one eternal big expense
But men say that I'm just immense!
Ere my verses I conclude
I'd like it known and understood
Tho' free as air, I'm never rude
I'm not too bad and not too good!

Ta-ra-ra Boom-de-ay!
Ta-ra-ra Boom-de-ay!
Ta-ra-ra Boom-de-ay!
Ta-ra-ra Boom-de-ay!
Ta-ra-ra Boom-de-ay!
Ta-ra-ra Boom-de-ay!
Ta-ra-ra Boom-de-ay!
Ta-ra-ra Boom-de-ay!

You should see me out with Pa
Prim, and most particular
The young men say "Ah, there you are!"
And Pa says "That's peculiar!"
"It's like their cheek!" I say, and so
Off again with Pa I go
He's quite satisfied--although
When his back's turned--well, you know

Ta-ra-ra Boom-de-ay!
Ta-ra-ra Boom-de-ay!
Ta-ra-ra Boom-de-ay!
Ta-ra-ra Boom-de-ay!
Ta-ra-ra Boom-de-ay!
Ta-ra-ra Boom-de-ay!
Ta-ra-ra Boom-de-ay!
Ta-ra-ra Boom-de-ay!

When with swells I'm out to dine
All my hunger I resign
Taste the food, and sip the wine
No such daintiness as mine!
But when I am all alone
For shortcomings I atone!
No old frumps to stare like stone
Chops and chicken on my own!

Ta-ra-ra Boom-de-ay!
Ta-ra-ra Boom-de-ay!
Ta-ra-ra Boom-de-ay!
Ta-ra-ra Boom-de-ay!
Ta-ra-ra Boom-de-ay!
Ta-ra-ra Boom-de-ay!
Ta-ra-ra Boom-de-ay!
Ta-ra-ra Boom-de-ay!

Sometimes Pa, says, with a frown
"Soon, you'll have to settle down
Have to wear your wedding gown
Be the strictest wife in town!"
Well, it must come by-and-by
When wed, to keep quiet I'll try
But till then I shall not sigh
I shall still go in for my

Ta-ra-ra Boom-de-ay!
Ta-ra-ra Boom-de-ay!
Ta-ra-ra Boom-de-ay!
Ta-ra-ra Boom-de-ay!
Ta-ra-ra Boom-de-ay!
Ta-ra-ra Boom-de-ay!
Ta-ra-ra Boom-de-ay!
Ta-ra-ra Boom-de-ay!
