Doors Of Your Heart
Doors Of Your Heart
Composer(s): Andy Cox - Dave Steele - Dave Wakeling - Everett Morton - Ranking Roger -
Performer(s): The English Beat
Every story has to be about something, I suppose
this one says I lose my head
as the feeling starts to grow you know?
I can feel love thumping at the doors of my heart
Feel love thump as it tears me apart
feel love pump as the worrying starts
I can feel love thumping
at the doors of my heart again
at the doors of my heart again
I can feel love thump
bom-bom be bom-bom
Everybody needs someone they can cling to
now and then
no more defense, no more pretense
no reasons to explain it
You can feel love thumping at the doors of your heart
feel love thump as it tears you apart
feel blood pump as the worrying starts
you can feel love thumping
at the doors of your heart again
at the doors of your heart again
you can feel love thump
bom-bom be bom-bom
This one your unity rocker, lord
stick him in your living room
and turn off the light eh
bet you wouldn't know if he was black or white boy!
say what's the use in fighting?
man say, I say you shouldn't really fight
tek him to a disco tek
tek him to a pub eh!
tek him to a blues and then
you play him rub a dub eh say you shouldn't really fight, man say
say you shouldn't really fight
each and every day I walk through the streets
and I see man and man war and kill each other
because you are black or you are white
so what's the use in fighting?
war alright
because it's strictly love and unity
we a deal in today
and that we will never throw away
we will never throw away
war alright
I say just because you're brown
you no fe g'wan like a clown
just because you're white
you no fe broke a likkle fight eh
say what's the use in fighting boy
I say you shouldn't really fight
Everytime it happens, seem to act a little touched
in this at least, you're just like me
I think we think too much
why can't we just
Feel love thumping at the doors of our heart
feel love thump as it tears us apart
feel blood pump as the worrying starts
I can feel love thumping
at the doors of my heart again
at the doors of my heart again
I can feel love thump
bom-bom be bom-bom
bom-bom be bom-bom
I can feel love thump
bom-bom be bom-bom
at the doors of my heart again

Carta A María Cristina
Carta A María Cristina
Performer(s): Victor Heredia
Quisiera que al llegar
esta carta a tu hogar
la recibieras y te sientas feliz
como cuando éramos dueños de la vida
frente a un copo de maíz
Quisiera que también
sepas que este papel
lleva mi corazón doblado en dos por dos
como un duelo sin consuelo
por no haberme dado cuenta
de este amor
María Cristina
dulce hermana mía
Es que el tiempo corre mucho
no se puede detener
y hoy te has hecho una mujer
y peleas por la vida
en la lucha del amor
dulce pájaro guerreando en el dolor
Sólo quiero decir
que está bien así
que es como debe ser
y tu sangre es un torrente entre la gente
y orgulloso estoy de verte amanecer
María Cristina
dulce hermana mía
Es que el tiempo corre mucho
no se puede detener
y hoy te has hecho una mujer
y peleas por la vida
en la lucha del amor
dulce pájaro guerreando en el dolor
Orgulloso estoy de verte amanecer
Orgulloso estoy de verte amanecer

Flipper
Flipper
Composer(s): Dunham; Henry Vars
Performer(s): Matthew Sweet
They call him Flipper, Flipper, faster than lightning
No-one you see, is smarter than he
And we know Flipper, lives in a world full of wonder
Flying there-under, under the sea!
Everyone loves the king of the sea
Ever so kind and gentle is he
Tricks he will do when children appear
And how they laugh when he's near!
They call him Flipper, Flipper, faster than lightning
No-one you see, is smarter than he
And we know Flipper, lives in a world full of wonder
Flying there-under, under the sea!

The Door Is Still Open To My Heart
The Door Is Still Open To My Heart
Performer(s): Dean Martin
(The door is still open to my heart)
I must confess that I cry from loneliness
And the door is still open to my heart
You are to me like honey is to the bee
And the door is still open to my heart
I'm not ashamed to cry
It's better then to hold it inside
And I won't be satisfied
Until you're here by my side
You're as close to me as two is to three
And the door is still open to my heart
(I'm not ashamed to cry
It's better than to hold it inside)
And I won't be satisfied
Until you're here by my side
You're as close to me as two is to three
And the door is still open to my heart
And the door is still open to my heart

Composer(s): John Densmore - Robbie Krieger - Ray Manzarek - Jim Morrison
Performer(s): The Doors
The cars hiss by my window
Like the waves down on the beach
The cars hiss by my window
Like the waves down on the beach
I got this girl beside me
But she's out of reach
Headlight through my window
Shinin' on the wall
Headlight through my window
Shinin' on the wall
Can't hear my baby
Though I called and called
Yeah, right
Woo!
Windows started tremblin'
With a sonic boom
Windows started tremblin'
With a sonic boom, boom
A cold girl'll kill you
In a darkened room
Yeah, woo

Ride on
Weooooo!
Wawa, eooo!
Oooo, owa, owaaa!
Wa, waaaaea!
Ooo, wa, wa, wa, wa, waa!

and various other artists
When I get the blues I get me a rockin' chair

Now flip, flop and fly
I don't care if I die
Flip, flop and fly
I don't care if I die
Don't ever leave me don't ever say good-bye
Here comes my baby flashing a new gold tooth
Here comes my baby flashing a new gold tooth
He's so skinny he can mambo in a payphone booth
Give me on last kiss and hold it a long, long time
Give me on last kiss and hold it a long, long time
'Til the feeling over comes me with a feelin' in my head like wine
Now flip, flop and fly
I don't care if I die
Flip, flop and fly
I don't care if I die
Don't ever leave me don't ever say good-bye

The Door Is Always Open
The Door Is Always Open
Composer(s): Bob McDill - Dickey Lee
Performer(s): Waylon Jennings
and multiple other artists
Saw your picture in the paper and I see you married good
And I know that he can give you all the things I never could
But I know that he can't give you what you need most of all
So the door is always open, and the lights on in the hall
Yes the door is always open and the lights on in the hall
And you know that I'll be waiting, if you ever come to call
When night falls on that mansion and you're lying in his bed
When he begs you for attention, will you think of me instead
When he reaches out to touch you, is your face turned to the wall
Well the door is always open, and the lights on in the hall
Yes the door is always open and the lights on in the hall
And you know that I'll be waiting, if you ever come to call
Yes the door is always open and the lights on in the hall
And you know that I'll be waiting, if you ever come to call

Cars Are Cars
Cars Are Cars
Composer(s): Paul Simon
Performer(s): Paul Simon
Cars are cars all over the world
Cars are cars all over the world
Similarly made
Similarly sold
In a motorcade
Abandoned when they're old
Cars are cars all over the world
Cars are cars all over the world
Cars are cars all over the world
Engine in the front
Jack in the back
Wheels take the brunt
Pinion and a rack
Cars are cars all over the world
Cars are cars all over the world
But people are strangers
They change with the curve
From time zone to time zone
As we can observe
They shut down their borders
And think they're immune
They stand on their differences
And shoot at the moon
But cars are cars all over the world
Cars are cars all over the world
Drive 'em on the left
Drive 'em on the right
Susceptible to theft in the middle of the night
Cars are cars all over the world
Cars are cars all over the world
I once had a car
That was more like a home
I lived in it, loved in it
Polished its chrome
If some of my homes
Had been more like my car
I probably wouldn't have
Travelled this far
Cars are cars all over the world
Cars are cars all over the world
Cars are cars all over the world
Cars are cars all over the world
Cars are cars all over the world

The Door Into Summer
The Door Into Summer
Composer(s): William E. Martin - Douglas Farthing Hatlelid
First release by: The Monkees - 1967
With his fool's gold stacked up all around him
From a killing in the market on the war
The children left King Midas there, as they found him
In his counting house where nothing counts but more
And he thought he heard the echo of a penny whistle band
And the laughter from a distant caravan
And the brightly painted line of circus wagons in the sand
Fading through the door into summer
Well, it's travel onto "maybe next year" 's places
As a trade-in for a name upon the door
And he pays for every year he cannot buy back with his tears
As he finds out there's been no one keeping score
And he thought he heard the echo of a penny whistle band
And the laughter from a distant caravan
And the brightly painted line of circus wagons in the sand
Fading through the door into summer

First release by: Gary Numan - 1979
Covered by multiple other artists
Here in my car
I feel safest of all
I can lock all my doors
It's the only way to live in cars
Here in my car
I can only receive
I can listen to you
It keeps me stable for days in cars.
Here in my car
Where the image breaks down
Will you visit me please
If I open my door in cars
Here in my car
I know I've started to think
About leaving tonight
Although nothing seems right in cars

Flight Of The Rat
Flight Of The Rat
Composer(s): Ritchie Blackmore; Ian Gillan;
Roger Glover; Jon Lord; Ian Paice
Performer(s): Deep Purple
Spread the word around
The rat is leaving town
The message is a song
The misery is gone
Once I had a dream
To sing before the queen
She didn't want to know
She wouldn't see the show
What a fright
I couldn't do it right
Oh what a night
Mystic demons fly
All about the sky
With memories of a clown
The saddest show in town
When I was seventeen
Me mother said to me
Be careful what you touch
You shouldn't take so much
I blew my mind
She was so kind
I could have cried
In my mind
I had to find
A kind of new way
Of being oh so cool
Like a blue blooded
Well studded
English fool
Speak about the past
Times are changing fast
Once I was so weak
I couldn't even speak
Shaking put a curse
Nothing could be worse
Walking through the door
Who could ask for more
Now I'm free
And I can see
And I can see
Spread the word around
The rat is leaving town
The message is a song
The misery is gone
Shaking out a curse
Nothing could be worse
Walking through the door
Who could ask for more
Now I'm free
And I can see
And I can see
Please stay away

Voilà plus d’un an
Qu’on ne s’était vu
Tu étais partie
Pour un inconnu
Voilà plus d’un an

Ça fait si longtemps
C’est déjà si loin
Allez, viens on danse
Allez, viens danser
Puisqu’on a la chance
De se retrouver
Allez, viens on danse
Allez, viens danser
Puisqu’on a la chance
De se retrouver
J’ai pleuré des nuits
Tu sais toi aussi
Ce que ça fait mal!
Ce que ça fait mal!
Comme dans les romans
Je voulais mourir
Et puis, maintenant
J’ai envie de rire
Allez, viens on danse
Allez, viens danser
Puisqu’on a la chance
De se retrouver
Allez, viens on danse
Allez, viens danser
Puisqu’on a la chance
De se retrouver
Tu ne m’aimes pas
Mais ça ne fait rien
Puisque tu es là
Je me sens si bien
Voilà plus d’un an
Mais c’est oublié
Je veux maintenant
Tout recommencer
Allez, viens on danse
Allez, viens danser
Puisqu’on a la chance
De se retrouver...

Composer(s): Per Gessle; Mats Persson
Performer(s): Gyllene Tider
Kommer hem helt desperat har jobbat som fan
Sätter på TV2 sönderstressad av stan
Rapport med sport och väder snart är dom där
En blick som får mej att falla åh Gud - jag tror jag är kär
Åhå åhå hå Flickorna på TV2 - åhå hå
Flickorna på TV2 - åhå hå
Det är ni som får jorden att gå runt
Mittemellan två program får dom en minut
Jag sitter i min soffa mina läppar putar ut
Jag låter mej förföras jag frustar som en tjur
Åh Flickorna på TV2 ni har gjort mej till ett djur
Tänk att få sätta på TV2 - åhå hå
Tänk att få sätta på flickorna på TV2 - åhå hå
Tänk att få sätta på TV2 - åhå hå
Tänk att få sätta på flickorna på TV2

The Donkey Serenade
The Donkey Serenade
((Adapted from: Chansonnette (Rudolf Friml) - 1923))
Composer(s): Rudolf Friml - Herbert Stothart - Robert Wright - George Forrest
Performer(s): Allan Jones - 1937
and multiple other artists
There's a song in the air
But the fair senorita doesn't seem to care
For the song in the air
Oh, I'll sing to the mule
If you're sure she won't think that I am just a fool
Serenading a mule
Amigo mio, does she not have a dainty bray?
(Boy:) Que, esta?
(Jones:) She listens carefully to each little tune you play
(Boy:) Oh, la bella senorita!
(Jones:) Si, si, mi muchachito
She'd love to sing it too if only she knew the way
But try as she may, in her voice there's a flaw
And all that the lady can say
Is hee-haw-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w
Senorita, donkey's feet are
Not so fleet as a mosquito
But so sweet like my chiquita
You're the one for me!
There's a light in her eye
Though she may try to hide it, she cannot deny
There's a light in her eye
Oh, the charm of her smile
So beguiled Don Diego that he rode a mile
For the charm of her smile
Amigo mio, is she listening to my song?
(Boy:) Que, esta?
(Jones:) No, no, mi muchachito, how can you be so wrong?
(Boy:) Si, la bella senorita!
(Jones:) Si, si, la senorita
She'd love to sing it too if only she knew the way
Her face is a dream, like an angel I saw
And all that my darling can scream
Is hee-haw-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w
Senorita, donkey's feet are
Not so fleet as a mosquito
But so sweet like my chiquita
You're the one for me!
Ole!

Carry On Wayward Son
Carry On Wayward Son
Composer(s): Kerry Livgren
First release by: Kansas - 1976
Covered by multiple other artists
Carry on my wayward son
For there'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Now don't you cry no more
Once I rose above the noise and confusion
Just to get a glimpse beyond the illusion
I was soaring ever higher, but I flew too high
Though my eyes could see I still was a blind man
Though my mind could think I still was a mad man
I hear the voices when I'm dreamin'
I can hear them say
Carry on my wayward son
For there'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Now don't you cry no more
Masquerading as a man with a reason
My charade is the event of the season
And if I claim to be a wise man, it surely
means that I don't know
On a stormy sea of moving emotion
Tossed about I'm like a ship on the ocean
I set a course for winds of fortune, but
I hear the voices say
Carry on, you will always remember
Carry on, nothing equals the splendor
Now your life's no longer empty
Surely heaven waits for you
Carry on my wayward son
For there'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Now don't you cry no more

Flickan Och Kråkan
Flickan Och Krakan
Composer(s): Mikael Wiehe
Performer(s): Sofia Karlsson
Jag satt häromdagen och läste min tidning
en dag som så många förut
Och jag tänkte på alla dom drömmar man drömt
som en efter en har ta'tt slut
Då såg jag en bild av en flicka
med en skadskjuten kråka i famn
Hon springer iväg genom skogen
så fort som hon bara nånsin kan
Hon springer med fladdrande lockar
hon springer på taniga ben
Och hon hoppas och tror och hon bönar och ber
att det inte skall vara försent
Och flickan är liten och hennes hår är så ljust
och hennes kind är så flämtande röd
Och kråkan är klumpig och kraxande svart
och om en stund är den alldeles död
Men flickan hon springer för livet
med en skadskjuten kråka i famn
Hon springer mot trygghet och värme
för det som är riktigt och sant
Hon springer med tindrande ögon
hon springer på taniga ben
För hon vet att det är sant, det som pappa har sagt
att finns det liv, är det aldrig försent
Och jag började darra i vånda och nöd
jag skaka av rädsla och skräck
För jag visste ju alldeles tydligt och klart
att det var bilden av mig som jag sett
För mitt hopp är en skadskjuten kråka
och jag är ett springande barn
som tror det finns nå'n som kan hjälpa mig än
som tror det finns nå'n som har svar
Och jag springer med bultande hjärta
jag springer på taniga ben
Och jag bönar och ber, fast jag egentligen vet
att det redan är all'es för sent
