B666


B666 Composer(s): Bob Welch Performer(s): Bob Welch



We’re livin a madhouse, you know Digital religions’ runnin’ the whole show See that guy over there Rolling his eyes & tearing his hair He controls deployment of a thousand phantom jets Slouching towards Bethlehem Up to his tricks Dealing with a real B666 Were livin’in a madhouse, you know Nothing works & the jerks are runnin’ the whole show See that guy over there Conversing with the empty air Well he wrote all the programs on a million tape machines Slouching towards Bethlehem Up to his tricks Dealing with a real B666 Well you’ve seen him before, in the past He was there at first, he’ll be there at last But I just couldn’t help tryin’ to warn ya 'Cause he’s slouching towards Bethlehem to be born You’re just one of his million programming tricks Dealing with a real B666

Love Is Fire


Love Is Fire
Composer(s): Lauri Conger - Lorraine Segato
Performer(s): The Parachute Club



It's a long dark day
When we realize and understand
That we've come so far
Destiny lies close to home
I will do what I can
To keep my spirit safe and strong
If I fall on the way
Nothing ventured, nothing gained

Love is fire
Hate is stone
We desire
What we can't hold (oh no)
When there's anger
(outa) Outa control
Hate is fire
Love is stone

Time deals its hand
How can we live in tenderness?
When the world seems so cold
To those who choose to take a stand!
Ooo, if I refuse to walk the line (walk the line)
Or see my dreams through someone's eyes
(you know that) I'II take that chance
`Cause nothing ever stays the same

Love is fire
Hate is stone
We desire
Ooo, What we can't hold
When there's anger
(outa) Outa control
Hate is fire, Ooo
Love is stone

Love is fire
Hate is stone
We desire
What we cannot hold
When there's anger
(outa) Outa control yeh
Hate is fire
Love, love is stone

(you know that) Love is fire
(I need to know you'll see me through)
Hate is stone
(Doesn't matter what we choose to do)
We desire,
Ooo, What we can't hold
When there's anger
Runnin' out of control
Hate is fire
Love, now love is stone

Love is fire
Hate is stone
We desire
What we cannot seem to hold
When there's anger
It's runnin', runnin' out of control
Hate is fire
Love is stone

Mirta, De Regreso


Mirta, De Regreso
Composer(s): Adrian Abonizio
Performer(s): Juan Carlos Baglietto



De regreso, Mirta
ya sabes tres años a la sombra
no quiero saber si me fuiste fiel
yo se que una mujer valiente se inclina igual
para el lado de la sed
Servime algo, Mirta
parece mentira el verte como antes
pero para el que vuelve del infierno
ya no hay mas fantasias,
solo quiere un tiempo blando
pero esto Mirta nunca lo sabrás

No es necesario que estés alegre
ni que prendas la luz
entré despacio sin que me vea nadie
la noche se abre como un abrigo, Mirta
y es un sábado más, como dice el tango
Mirta contame cómo andas

Hacé de cuenta que estuve navegando
es casi lo mismo solo cambia el paisaje
abajo el mar, que nuca se ve
arriba el cielo, el cielo raso
y tu foto en la pared
La moda ha cambiado un poco, Mirta
Ya no hay ni un pelo largo
todos parecen soldados
me siento parado en un cementerio
me recibió el frio y un nuevo gobierno
Mirta no recuerdo ni tu cuerpo

Y ahora me voy, Mirta
para vos soy un extraño conocido
si no estoy llorando, no ves cómo me la aguanto
debajo de la cama asoman sus zapatos
Mirta gracias por todo
Salgo a la verja, parece que ha llovido
en la estación retumba el "Estrella del Norte"
"Veni a verme cuando salgas" me dijo el Turco
"comes todos los días y no hay problemas de laburo"
Solo algunas noches
solo algunas noches
Salis a trabajar

"B" Movie Box Car Blues


"B" Movie Box Car Blues Composer(s): Delbert McClinton First release by: Delbert & Glen - 1972



Caught a ride into South Dakota
With two girls in a light blue Desoto
One's name was Jane, the other was plain
But they both had racing motors
Next I caught a ride with a gamblers wife
Lay down, she had a brand new Rambler
She parked on the other side of town
She layed the Rambler down
She said she could dig if I'd knew her

Doing my best to get back to you
Ain't nothing I'd rather do
Look for me Sunday, gonna be there honey
Something special just for you
Special just for you

Made a truck stop, toothpick and water
Got a ride from a fruit pickers daughter
Drove her through the night, let the fruit just right
Said All I could eat for a quarter

Next, hopped a train with a hobo woman
Said she's from Texas too
The way that she did, what she did, when she did what she did to me
made me think of you
Hey honey made me think of you

Doing my best to get back to you
Ain't nothing I'd rather do
Look for me Sunday, gonna be there honey
Something special just for you
Special just for you

Hey honey something special just for you

Mirrors


Mirrors
Composer(s): B. Abbott; Donald Roeser
Performer(s): Blue Öyster Cult



A mirror is a negative space
With a frame and a place for your face
It reveals what the rest of us see
It conceals what you'd like it to be

Pretty girls can't look away
Pretty girls can't look away
Pretty girls can't look away
Pretty girls can't look away

Pretty girls have a love afair
With their eyes and their shining hair
Fantasize that the world adores
Tantalize like a cover girl

Mirrors are the basis of beauty
Give rise to self love or self pity
The prize if a woman is pretty
She tries like a superstar Hollywood girl

Pretty girls can't look away
Pretty girls can't look away
Pretty girls can't look away
Pretty girls can't look away

Vanity's a deadly sin
It's what the flesh is packaged in
Vanity's a deadly sin
It's what the flesh is packaged in

A mirror is a negative space
With a frame and a place for your face
It reveals what the rest of us see
It conceals what you'd like it to be

Vanity's a deadly sin
It's what the flesh is packaged in

Paul Evans; Brian Poole & The Tremeloes;
The Premiers; Bobby Vinton; J. Frank Wilson



Over the mountain
Across the sea
There's a girl, she's waiting for me

Cross over the river, beyond ev'ry clou-oud
She's passed the wind that's blowing loud
Over the mountain, a girl waits for me-ee-ee-ee-ee-ee

Tell all the sands and ev'ry blade of gra-ass
Please tell the wind to let my love pa-ass
Over the mountain, a girl waits for me-ee-ee-ee-ee

Tell the moon up in the sky
Tell the birds that fly-y by
That over and over and over the mountain
My love waits for me

Into each dark and starry night
Oh, what a myst'ry that's sealed so tight
Over the mountain, a girl waits for me-ee-ee-ee-ee-ee

Wah, wah-ooh, wah-ooh
Wah, wah-ooh, wah-ooh

Wah, wah-ooh, wah-ooh

Mirror Mirror


Mirror Mirror
Composer(s): Dennis Matkosky; Michael Sembello
Performer(s): Diana Ross



Mirror, mirror on the wall
You said you had the answer to it all
You never told me I'd take a fall
Mirror, mirror on the wall

You have turned my life
Into a paperback novel
Words that came to life
Inside your little melodrama
Chapter one: When I was young
I came to you with my problems
Chapter two: You promised me
Love and anything that I desired

Tell me mirror, mirror
Mirror on the wall
Thought you said
You had the answer to it all
Never told me
I was gonna take a fall
Tell me mirror, mirror,
Mirror on the wall

You have nailed my heart
Upon the wall for your pleasure
You have cast a spell
That cannot ever be broken
and now my eyes grow tired
I watch my picture getting older
But I remain the same
Trapped in this mirror forever

Tell me mirror, mirror
Mirror on the wall
Thought you said
You had the answer to it all
Never told me
I was gonna take a fall
Tell me mirror, mirror
Mirror on the wall

I talk to you each night
and I follow your advice
You've been wrong
What's the price I have to pay
For this fairy tale thing called love
Let me go

Tell me mirror, mirror
Mirror on the wall
Thought you said
You had the answer to it all
Never told me
I was gonna take a fall
Tell me mirror, mirror
Mirror on the wall

Over The Hills To You


Over The Hills To You
Composer(s): Russell J. England; Clay Smith



I am coming back my darling
Over the hills to you
I am riding night and morning
Over the hills to you
The big red sun is sinking
Of you, dear heart, I'm thinking
When the light of dawn is gleaming
I'll be over the hills with you
I've been lonesome for you darling
Longing to be with you
I've been eager for the journey
Over the hills to you
Each milestone passed with yearning
Marks a stage of my returning
In strong arms of love I'll fold you
When I'm over the hills with you

Mirror In The Bathroom


Mirror In The Bathroom
Composer(s): Roger Charlery; Andy Cox;
Everett Morton; Dave Steele; Dave Wakeling
Performer(s): The English Beat
and various other artists



Mirror in the bathroom
please talk free
The door is locked
just you and me
Can I take you to a restaurant
that's got glass tables
You can watch yourself
while you are eating

Mirror in the bathroom
I just can't stop it
Every Saturday you see me
window shopping
Find no interest
in the racks and shelves
Just ten thousand reflections
of my own sweet self, self, self...

Mirror in the bathroom
You're my mirror in the bathroom
You're my mirror in the bathroom
You're my mirror in the bathroom...

Mirror in the bathroom
Recompense
For all my crimes
of self defense
Cures you whisper
make no sense
Drift gently into
mental illness

Mirror in the bathroom
please talk free
The door is locked
just you and me
Can I take you to a restaurant
that's got glass tables
You can watch yourself
while you are eating

Mirror in the bathroom
Mirror in the bathroom...

Over The Green Hills


Over The Green Hills
Composer(s): Paul Rodgers
Performer(s): Free



Part 1


Over the green hills and into the sun
that's where I feel I ought to be goin'
blue sky above me and green earth below
don't even matter which way I go Yeah!
Ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah

The trees hold their arms out to catch what life gives
but the people try to snatch all there is
they can have all I own
I don't need anything
I'll just follow the river, and see what it brings
Ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah ah ah

----------


Part 2


AH ah ah ah ah
AH ah ah ah ah
I need to be free where the air is clean
and the sparking river is cool on my skin

When the sun shines I'll follow it's glow
And I won't stop moving till it's sinking low
Ah ah ah ah ah

----------

Mirarte


Mirarte
Composer(s): Miguel Bosé; Lanfranco Ferrario; M. Grilli
Performer(s): Miguel Bosé



Tirar pa'lante
Hasta que el corazón aguante
Sin que me importe
Nada ni nadie
Y hasta que pueda
Solo quiero amarte
Apasionarte
Apasionadamente atarte
A mi cintura
No obedecerte, crucificarte
Y luego mirarte
Solo mirarte
Hartarme de mirarte
Hasta cansarme, hasta cansarme
Mirarte
Solo mirarte
Amar amar amante puedo
De amor amado amante quiero
Amadamente amor amado y solo amar
Amar amar amarte y luego
Amante se que quiero
Amadamente amor amado y solo amar...
Punto y aparte
Para rimarte y seducirte
Que no me basta, no es suficiente
Sin demostrarte
Qué puedo hacer de ti...
Amar amar amante puedo
De amor amado amante quiero
Amadamente amor amado y solo amar
Amar amar amarte y luego
Amante se que quiero
Amadamente amor amado y solo amar...

Over My Head


Over My Head
Composer(s): Christine McVie
Performer(s): Fleetwood Mac



You can take me to paradise
And then again you can be cold as ice
I'm over my head
But it sure feels nice

You can take me anytime you like
I'll be around if you think you might
Love me baby
And hold me tight
Your mood is like a circus wheel
You're changing all the time
Sometimes I can't help but feel
That I'm wasting all of my time

Think I'm looking on the dark side
But everyday you hurt my pride
I'm over my head
But it sure feels nice
I'm over my head
But it sure feels nice

Mirándonos Los Dos


Mirándonos Los Dos
Composer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute
Performer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute



Nos va ocupando
una incipiente indiferencia que levanta
su voz
en silencio precoz
avisando
que el fantasma del tiempo no vive en
la edad
sino en la soledad
esa prisión
donde envejece el corazón
Y así es la mismo
la noche y el día
la cumbre, el abismo
la melancolía
y el llanto de amor
ese espejo de Dios
que se empañó, mirándonos los dos
Siento que el alma
desvaneciendo en nuestros cuerpos
lejos de resistir
se dispone a morir
en la calma
Y esa muerte que nadie podrá detener
no dejará de ser un paso más
ese otro que quedó detrás
Y así es lo mismo...
La cobardía
que nos esposa el uno al otro
provocando el temor
de afrontar el error
que nos guía
es la herida que deja el sentido común
ese residuo aún
de insensatez
que nos conduce a la vejez
Y así es lo mismo...

Mirage (Tommy James & The Shondells)


Mirage
Composer(s): Ritchie Cordell
Originally performed by: Tommy James & The Shondells



I see you standin' in the alleys and the hallways, you're gone now
I run to touch you but you vanished through the doorways
And oh how hard it is to live without you!
I loved everything about you. Now I know you're really gone
But my imagination is so strong that

I see you coming into view
And your face is telling me that you
Oh, yeah, oh, wanna be by my side
Oh, yeah, oh, now it's finally time
Mirage, that's all you are to me
Mirage, something I only see

So I keep walkin' through the alleys and the hallways
Where are you?
I keep remembering the kissin' in the doorways, the car, too
How it all comes back to me
The movies every Saturday, the place we used to go to eat
I want so much to have it like it used to be then

I see you coming into view
And your face is telling me that you
Oh, yeah, oh, wanna be by my side
Oh, yeah, oh, now it's finally time
Mirage, that's all you are to me
Mirage, something I only see

Just a mirage, that's all you are to me, yes
Just a mirage, something that I only see
(repeat)

Janet:
In the velvet darkness
Of the blackest night
Burning bright
There's a guiding star
No matter what or who you are

Brad & Janet:
There's a light (Over at the Frankenstein place)
There's a light (Burning in the fireplace)
There's a light, light (In the darkness of everybody's life)

Riff Raff:
The darkness must go
Down the river of night's dreaming
Flow morphia slow
Let the sun and light come streaming
Into my life, into my life

Brad & Janet:
There's a light (Over at the Frankenstein place)
There's a light (Burning in the fireplace)
There's a light, light (In the darkness of everybody's life)

On Ne Vit Pas Sans Se Dire Adieu


On Ne Vit Pas Sans Se Dire Adieu (Adapted from: Soleado - 1974) Composer(s): Ciro Dammico; Henri Dijan Performer(s): Mireille Mathieu - 1974 Titles In Other Languages: 1974 - When A Child Is Born 1974 - Tränen Lügen Nicht 1974 - Todo El Tiempo Del Mundo



On ne vit pas sans se dire adieu
On ne vit pas sans mourir un peu
Sans abandonner pour aller plus loin
Sur son chemin quelque chose ou quelqu'un

Je suis venu pour te dire adieu
Un souvenir, meurt toujours un peu
J'ai voulu savoir, ce qu'il m'a resté
Du seul amour, qui ait pu compté

Je suis venu pour te dire adieu
Ou si tu veux, adieu à nous deux
Comme le jour, où tu m'as fait pleuré
En me disant adieu à jamais

Oh ce n'était pas ta faute, je le sais
Je sais tout ce qu'il allait se passer, allez
Ton père et tout ce qu'il a pu te dire
Tes études à finir, ton service, ton avenir
Et puis cette fille n'est pas pour toi
Aujourd'hui tu es une autre
Tout est qui finit bien, quand
Mais qu'est-ce que j'ai pu t'aimer toi
J'avais seize ans, seize ans

On ne vit pas sans se dire adieu
On ne vit pas sans mourir un peu
J'ai voulu arrêter le temps
Le temps de dire, adieu mes seize ans

J'ai voulu dire, adieu mes seize ans
Avant d'aller, vers ce qui m'attend

Mirage (Santana)


Mirage
Composer(s): Leon Patillo
Performer(s): Santana



I am just a mirage
Oh - I am just a mirage
when you look at me
thru your crystal glass you will see
that I am now your past
but you give your love to me
In your life I wasn't meant to be
Oh I am just a mirage
Oh I am just a mirage
Just a mirage fading away like water

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I am just a mirage
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I am just a mirage
I am just a mirage
But until that day has come
When you say I'll be your only one
I will live the way it's meant for me
With ups and downs and mystery

Over And Over Again


Over And Over Again
Composer(s): Richard Rodgers; Lorenz Hart
Performer(s): Doris Day;
and various other artists



Swing high, swing low, upon the trapeze
At first you’ll fall, but then
A year from now you’ll do it with ease
Over and over and over again
A star does not come out of the sky
He starts to work at ten
To reach the top, you gotta keep trying
Over and over and over and over
And over and over again

It’s up in the morning and down in the ring
Acrobat, rider and clown
Queen of the wire and aerial king
Work or you’ll forfeit your crown
You stick to your trick
And your trick will be art
Artists are hard-working men
After you’re perfect, that’s when you first start
Over and over again, once again, and again
Do it over and over again

(Choir) Swing high, swing low, upon the trapeze
At first you’ll fall, but then
A year from now, you’ll do it with ease
Over and over and over and over again
To reach the top you gotta keep trying
Over and over and over and over
And over and over again
Over and over again

Mirador


Mirador
Composer(s): David Hallyday; Étienne Roda-Gil
Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday



C'est la nuit
Dans le quartier des fous
Les matons
Ont tiré les verrous
Sur des tueurs
Des voleurs de cachous
Des flambeurs
Des tatoués et des loulous

La liberté
Faut la payer
Et on enterre nos corps
Sous le mirador...

La liberté
Faut la rêver
Quand on promène nos corps
Sous le mirador...

C'est la nuit
Mais c'est pas le Pérou
Y a des prisons
A ciel ouvert partout

Il n'y a pas d'écoles
Pour apprendre à aimer
Il n'y a pas d'écoles
Pour apprendre à tuer

Sûr qu'on a des doutes
Et qu'on a des problèmes
Du fond du trou
On peut plus dire, je t'aime

La chance ici
S'appelle plus la veine
La veine ici
C'est bien fini
Le cœur se bat sans bruit

C'est pas le Pérou
Mais faut rêver
Quand on promène nos corps
Sous le mirador

La liberté
Faut la payer
Quand on enterre nos corps
Sous le mirador
