Fall Together


Fall Together
Composer(s): Steven Tyler;
Mark Hudson; Greg Wells; Dean Grakal
Performer(s): Aerosmith



Looking through the looking glass
Looking back at me
I got X-Ray rear view vision
But I don't like what I see

Now, I'd should not bitch and moan
But there's not much I can do
When you're hangin' by a thread
And I'm hangin' on to you

Baby we can fall apart
Or we can fall together
It's a long, way down
We can make a new start
Never say never
We can fall apart
Or we can fall together

Now I know you feel compelled
When you're so down in the dumps
Every road can take some turns
And every road has got it's bumps

Now you got to know yourself
Yeah, you got to play it smart
'Cause you'll suffer for your sanity
If you suffer for your art

Baby we can fall apart
Or we can fall together
It's a long way down
We can make a new start
Never say never
We can fall apart
Or we can fall together

Now honey I got this feelin' somethin's funny
But I don't know what it is
My knees are shakin'
And the ground's about to give

Or we can fall together
It's a long way down
We can make a new start
Never say never
We can fall apart
Or we can fall together

Baby we can fall apart
Or we can fall together
It's a long way down
We can make a new start
Never say never
We can fall apart
Or we can fall together

Fall together
Fall together
Fall together, right now
You and me

Eyes turned away I know

That's where it's at, pretty baby
That's where it's at, oh yeah

Let me tell you just one thing
To say it's time to go
& she says "Yes I know"
But just stay one minute more
That's where it's at

Oh let me say it one more time

That's where it's at, I know that's where it's at
That's where it's at, pretty baby

You look so good to me
Here in this old saloon

A table made of wood
And how I wish you would
Fall in love with me
You look so good to me
Standing out in the street
With your cheap fur on
Or maybe your plastic raincoat
And your plastic shoes
They look good too
Standing in the snow
You're younger than you look
Fall in love with me
Fall in love with me
How I wish you would
A table made of wood
And a, a bottle of white wine
And you, and a bottle of white wine and you
And when you're standing
In the street and it's cold
And it snows on you
And you look younger than you really are

Fall in love with me

Fall in love with me
I wish you would
Fall in love with me

The way your hair is black
The way your heart is young
There's just a few like you
Just the kind I need
To fall in love with me
Oh and you look so good
Oh yes you look so good

A bottle of white wine
A cigarette and you
Here in this saloon
White wine and you
I wish you'd fall in love with me
I wish you'd fall in love with me
'Cause there's just a few like you
So young and real
There's just a few like you
So young and real
Fall in love with me
Fall in love with me
Fall in love with me
Fall in love with me
I wish you would
You look so good
Oh when you're young at heart
There's just a few like you
You're young at heart
Won't you
Come to this old saloon
Come to my waiting arms
A table made of wood
And I will look at you
'Cause you're so young and pure
And you're young at heart
You're young at heart
A bottle of white wine

And when you're tumbling down
You just look better
When you're tumbling down
You just look finer

Fall In Love With Me (Earth, Wind & Fire)


Fall In Love With Me
Composer(s): Maurice White;
Wayne Vaughn; Wanda Vaughn
Performer(s): Earth, Wind & Fire



I can tell you that love
Is too deep to be played on
Down the line, you'd find
Time would reveal who to count on
I'm well inclined to use the lines
That comes from the learning tree
Let the seed that grows, and ages old
Give us our destiny

Baby, you know, I could pick you up
Turn your life around
If you fall in love with me
I would build you up, never let you down
If you fall in love with me

If you're having second thoughts from the past
I can cool you out
I've been there before, right down to the core
I can sing and shout
I can't hold back what I feel
I bring experience
I'll be your rock when Gibraltar falls
Baby, give me a cause

Baby, you know, I could pick you up
Turn your life around
If you fall in love with me
I would build you up, never let you down
If you fall in love with me
Baby, in love with me, find yourself a part of me
Baby, in love with me, help yourself to all of me

I've got your number and I wanna shout
I dig you baby, come and check me out

Quand Ça Vous Brise Le Coeur


Quand Ça Vous Brise Le Coeur
((Adapted from: That's When Your Heartaches Begin (Shep Fields Rippling Rhythm) - 1937))
Composer(s): Billy Hill - Fred Fisher - William Raskin - Johnny Hallyday - Georges Aber
Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday - 1984



Si vous la trouvez là dans les bras d'un ami
Et que ça vous brise le coeur
L'amour quand il s'en va ne fait jamais de bruit
Ouais quand ça vous brise le coeur

Rien n'y fait quand on a de la peine
Il faut s'incliner et se dire adieu sans haine

Surtout ne pleurez pas
Pas un mot pas un cri
Ouais quand ça vous brise le coeur

Si tu la trouves là
Dans les bras de ton meilleur ami
Mon vieux
Lorsque tout ça te brise le coeur

Lorsque s'envole ton rêve à tout jamais détruit
Ouais, c'est comme une agonie
Bien sûr quand ça te brise le coeur

Dans le fond l'amour
L'amour est une chose difficile à saisir
Et il te fait tellement mal
Qu'il vaut mieux
Qu'il vaut mieux en finir

Et dans ces moments là
Croyez moi
Pas un mot pas un cri
Ouais, quand ça vous brise le coeur

California And You


California And You Composer(s): Edgar Leslie - Harry Puck



Oh! you old Pacific coast
Oh! you land I love the most
Soon I'll be returning to you
To my sweetheart loving and true
I just mailed a little note
Written to the one I miss
Just a simple little note I began by saying this

Oh! you orange scented air
Oh! you train that brings me there
Ev'ry other country I see
Only makes you dearer to me
Thro' my Pullman window pane
As my station's drawing near
I can hear myself again
Singing in my honey's car

Don't you remember California in September?
As we stood in the wood 'neath the beautiful sky
I made you cry
When I whispered good-bye, but dearie
Don't you remember
That I promised I'd be true?
So expect a choo choo
That's bringing me back to California and you

Fall At Your Feet


Fall At Your Feet
Composer(s): Neil Finn
Performer(s): Crowded House;
and various other artists



I’m really close tonight
And I feel like I’m moving inside her
Lying in the dark
And I think that I’m beginning to know her
Let it go
I’ll be there when you call

And whenever I fall at your feet
You let your tears rain down on me
Whenever I touch your slow turning pain

You’re hiding from me now
There’s something in the way that you’re talking
Words don’t sound right
But I hear them all moving inside you, go
I’ll be waiting when you call

Hey and whenever I fall at your feet
Won’t you let your tears rain down on me
Whenever I touch your slow turning pain

The finger of blame has turned upon itself
And I’m more than willing to offer myself
Do you want my presence or need my help
Who knows where that might lead
I fall

Whenever I fall at your feet
Would you let your tears rain down on me
Whenever I fall, ever I fall

California


California Composer(s): Cliff Friend - Con Conrad



California let me speak my mind
I've been waiting for a long long time
I've got a sneaky feeling I'll be stealing
To your bright and sunny clime
Is it any wonder that I'm glad
You're the only home I've ever had
Since I'm away both night and day
You're in this heart of mine

California when the days are blue
That's the time I always think of you
I miss the golden land of sunshine and the many happy friends I knew
Every moment how I long to be in your land of hospitality
"Your native son has only one place in his heart so true"

My California
Hear your lonesome boy calling
Honest I ain't a stalling
I want to come home just hear me crying
I'm really crying
Nighttime finds me just like a willow
Weeping there on my pillow
So lonesome and blue
Yes longing for you
Oh dear let the birdies sing
It's orange blossom time
I'll cheer 'cause I've got the ring
And I hear those wedding chimes
Just let me warn ya
Tell my sweetie in California
My love is growing
I'll soon be going California bound

Falco Rides Again


Falco Rides Again
Composer(s): Rob Bolland; Ferdi Bolland; Falco
Performer(s): Falco



This is the story of a lonely man
Who’s seen the world
From Japan to Afghanistan
Hey! ho!

Everybody thought that I was gone for good
But I’m back - understood
Hey! ho!

I’ve been through the snow and the storm
Felt the cold
No one to keep me warm
Agony and pain

Falco rides again - bang bang
I won’t break
I won’t bend
Falco rides again
It’s me and my gang
I came back just like a boomerang
I’ll fight ’till the end
Falco rides again
I’ve been up, I’ve been down
I’ve been pushed around
Beated, mistreated,
Gagged and bound
Hey! ho!

Not a soul in the world thought I would survive
Took every muscle in my body to stay alive
Hey! ho!
I’ll break down the walls
No more defeat
I want the taste of victory
Revenge is sweet

... rides again!

That's When My Woman Begins


That's When My Woman Begins
Composer(s): Jerry Gillespie
Performer(s): Tommy Overstreet



Little Bo Peep with a broom and a mop
A bulge in her cheek from a tootsie roll pop
Now who would believe that little girl is my wife

She looks like a child but she's already grown
With everyday problems and kids of her own
And she is the main foundation of my life

Oh, ain't she a picture of sunshine
Fresh as the breeze in the air
Right from her little girl dimples
To the ribbons of pink in her hair

But nighttime will find her a lady
And when that lady comes to me again
Well that's when my little girl pauses
And that's when my woman begins

She still throws a tantrum whenever she's mad
Cries at the movies whenever they're sad
And she pouts like a child when she doesn't get her way

But I wouldn't change anything for the world
I've spoiled her I know, but she's my little girl
And she makes everything alright at the end of the day

Now ain't she a picture of sunshine
Fresh as the breeze in the air
Right from her little girl dimples
To the ribbons of pink in her hair

But nighttime will find her a lady
And when that lady comes to me again
Well that's when my little girl pauses
And that's when my woman begins

Yeah ain't she a picture of sunshine
Fresh as the breeze in the air
Right from her little girl dimples
To the ribbons of pink in her hair

But nighttime will find her a lady
And when that lady comes to me again
Well that's when my little girl pauses
And that's when my woman begins

Calico Girlfriend


Calico Girlfriend
Composer(s): Michael Nesmith
Performer(s): Michael Nesmith



Me and my calico girlfriend
Starting a set of new rules
Watching the stars as they drop in
Making the nighttime a fool

Wandering over a roadway
Changing the signs of the times
Looking for love and a new day
Seeing with more than our eyes

Keeper of men and of shadow
Follow us up to the top
Taking the latch off the window
Giving us more than we dropped

Me and my Calico Girlfriend
Suddenly stare at the face
Of time and its hope that we'll win
Then softly drop out of the race

Keeper of men and of shadow
Follow us up to the top
Taking a latch off the window
Giving us more than we dropped

Me and my Calico Girlfriend
Suddenly stare at the face
Of time and its hope that we'll win
Then softly drop out of the race

Fakin' It


Fakin' It
Composer(s): Paul Simon
Performer(s): Simon & Garfunkel



When she goes, she's gone
If she stays, she stays here
The girl does what she wants to do
She knows what she wants to do
And I know I'm fakin' it
I'm not really makin' it

I'm such a dubious soul
And a walk in the garden
Wears me down
Tangled in the fallen vines
Pickin' up the punch lines
I've just been fakin' it
Not really makin' it

Is there any danger?
No, no, not really
Just lean on me
Takin' time to treat
Your friendly neighbors honestly
I've just been fakin' it
I'm not really makin' it
This feeling of fakin' it
I still haven't shaken it

Prior to this lifetime
I surely was a tailor
Look at me
("Good morning, Mr. Leitch
Have you had a busy day?")
I own the tailor's face and hands
I am the tailor's face and hands
I know I'm fakin' it
I'm not really makin' it
This feeling of fakin' it
I still haven't shaken it

And this ol' heart of mine, don't y'all know, that one day

And one last thing I've got to say
And if I wake, if I awake and find there's no more, no more
mornin' dew
Now doncha know that that's when, ooooooooooooo...

Cálice


Cálice Composer(s): Chico Buarque - Gilberto Gil Performer(s): Chico Buarque and multiple other artists



Pai, afasta de mim esse cálice
Pai, afasta de mim esse cálice
Pai, afasta de mim esse cálice
De vinho tinto de sangue

Como beber dessa bebida amarga
Tragar a dor, engolir a labuta
Mesmo calada a boca, resta o peito
Silêncio na cidade não se escuta
De que me vale ser filho da santa
Melhor seria ser filho da outra
Outra realidade menos morta
Tanta mentira, tanta força bruta

Como é difícil acordar calado
Se na calada da noite eu me dano
Quero lançar um grito desumano
Que é uma maneira de ser escutado
Ese silêncio todo me atordoa
Atordoado eu permaneço atento
Na arquibancada pra a qualquer momento
Ver emergir o monstro da lagoa

De muito gorda a proca já não anda
De muito suada a faca já não corta
Como é difícilo, pai, abrir a porta
Essa palavra presa na garganta
Esse pileque homérico no mundo
De que adianta ter boa vontgade
Mesmo calado o peito, resta a cuca
Dos bêbados do centro da cidade

Talvez o mundo não seja pequeno
Nem seja a vida um fato consumado
Quero inventar o meu próprio pecado
Quero morrer do meu próprio veneno
Quero perder de vez tua cabeça
Minha cabeça perder teu juízo
Quero cheirar fumaça de óleo diesel
Me embriagar até que alguém me esqueça

Faits Divers
Composer(s): Bernard Lavilliers
Performer(s): Bernard Lavilliers



Comment va le monde? Il est rouge sang
Et à mon avis, il l'est pour longtemps
Comment va la vie? Il y a des endroits
Elle vaut dix dollars combien je te dois
Comment va l'amour? Il joue les absents
Demande aux vautours de gagner du temps
Comment va le monde? Il est rouge sang
Et à mon avis, il l'est pour longtemps

Après bien des années d'errance
Et de silence embarrassé
Des hommes n'ont toujours pas de nationalité
Comment parler de non-violence
À un amour qu'on a violé?
La dignité n'est pas votre spécialité

Comment va la guerre? Elle va comme elle va
Elle est planétaire, on se reverra
Comment va la banque? La banque surnage
Pour les grands requins y a pas de naufrage
Comment va la mort? Record absolu
Toujours très discrète, je n'en sais pas plus
Comment va la guerre? Elle va comme elle va
Elle est planétaire, on se reverra
Elle est planétaire, on se reverra

Après bien des années d'errance
Et de silence embarrassé
Des hommes n'ont toujours pas de nationalité
Comment parler de non-violence
A un amour qu'on a violé?
La dignité n'est pas votre spécialité

Je ne veux plus gueuler: "Comment va le monde?"
Et qu'on me réponde: "Il va comme il va"
Comment va la vie? Elle n'est pas très fière
Sur ces cinq colonnes dans les faits divers
Comment va l'amour quand il vous a vu?
A fait demi-tour, on n'en parle plus
Je ne veux plus gueuler: "Comment va le monde? "
Et qu'on me réponde: "Il va comme il va"

Après bien des années d'errance
De populations déplacées
La solitude n'a pas de nationalité
Il faudrait casser ce silence
Vous l'avez mal interprété
La dignité n'est pas votre spécialité

Comment va le monde? Il est rouge sang
Et à mon avis, il l'est pour longtemps
Comment va l'amour? Il joue les absents
Demande aux vautours de gagner du temps
Comment va la vie? Elle n'est pas très fière
Sur ces cinq colonnes dans les faits divers

That's What You Mean To Me


That's What You Mean To Me
Composer(s): George Graff Jr. - George H. Gartlan



I know that you love me, you know I love you
But you wonder, if days to be
Will find us the same, let me answer, dear
Do you know what you mean to me?

Every rose has it's fragrance
The skies have the stars
And the night has the day to be
The day has the sunshine, but I have you
And you're all that and more to me

All that the sunshine means to the rose
And blossoms mean to the tree
All that the spring time to the earth
And rivers mean to the sea
All that their singing means to the birds
And honey means to the bee
All that a girl ever meant to a boy
That's what you mean to me
