Jamie


Jamie
Composer(s): Mickey Stevenson; Barrett Strong
Performer(s): Eddie Holland



Shhhhhh
Listen my friends while I tell you
About a girl that's so divine
I love her for the joy she's brought me
For she's mine all mine
Oh, Jamie
Talkin' 'bout Jamie
Talkin' 'bout Jamie
That's my love

Hair so long and pretty
Eyes that shine like gold
She has the kind of love for me
That will never, never grow old
Oh, Jamie
I'm talkin' 'bout Jamie
Oh talkin' 'bout Jamie
That's my girl

Ooh

She comforts me when I am sad now
She sticks with me when times are bad
She kisses me and holds me so tight
To me she's out of sight

Oh.. Lips so warm and tender
Kisses so divine
I thank the Lord up above
For making Jamie all mine
I'm so glad to belong to her
And she's mine all mine

Oh Jamie
Talkin' 'bout Jamie
Yeah talkin' 'bout Jamie
That's my girl

Uh here she comes huh
Talkin' 'bout Jamie
Talkin' 'bout Jamie

This Must Be Love


This Must Be Love
Performer(s): Phil Collins



It must be love, I'm feeling
This must be love
Oh this must be love, I'm feeling
This must be love

Well I wait in every day, just in case
You decide to call
And I can hardly wait, 'cause I never thought time could pass so slowly

It must be love, I'm feeling
This must be love
Oh this must be love, I'm feeling
This must be love

Happiness is something I never thought I'd feel again, but now I know
It's you that I've been looking for
And day by day more and more
I know what you think, you've heard it before
Don't tell me I know
But this feeling inside my heart
You know I'm never letting go
'Cause I think that...

It must be love, I'm feeling
This must be love
Oh this must be love, I'm feeling
This must be love

Words can only say so much
It's hard to express
The things you do to me
You're everything I could ever dreamed you'd be

This must be love, I'm feeling
This must be love
Oh this must be love, I'm feeling
This must be love...

Crepuscular Solidão


Crepuscular Solidão
Composer(s): Teófilo Chantre
Performer(s): Césaria Évora



Vento di mar
Trazê-me um cretcheu
Ness detardinha
Di céu nublado

Um tchuva d’amor
Podê fazê flori
Um coração
Quemode di paixão

Na patamar
Dum vida singela
Mim comtemplá
Dona felicidade

Nem um olhar
M’encontrá
Num multidão
Tão solitária

Refrão
Já tem gente
Gente até demas
Qui’tita sofrê
Na solidão

Já tem gente
Qu’ta quase ta morrê
Na luz cadente
Dum crepúsculo

James James Morrison Morrison


James James Morrison Morrison
Composer(s): A. Milne; Chad Mitchell
Performer(s): The Chad Mitchell Trio



James James Morrison Morrison Weatherby George DuPree
Took great care of his mother though he was only three
James James said to his mother
"Mother," he said, said he
"You must never go down to the end of the town
if you don't go down with me
Don't ever go down to the end of the town
if you don't go down with me"

James James Morrison's mother put on her golden gown
James James Morrison's mother, she drove to the end of the town
James James Morrison's mother
She said to herself, said she
"Well, I can get down to the end of the town
And be back in time for tea
Well, I can get down to the end of the town
And be back in time for tea"

King John put up a notice: "Lost, stolen or strayed
James James Morrison's mother
She seems to have been mislaid
Wandering vaguely all about quite of her own accord
She tried to get down to the end of the town
Forty shillings reward
She tried to get down to the end of the town
Forty shillings reward

James James Morrison Morrison, commonly known as "Jim"
Said to his other relations not to go blaming him
For James James said to his mother
"Mother", he said, said he
"Don't ever go down to the end of the town
If you don't go down with me
You must never go down to the end of the town
If you don't go down with me"

Now James James Morrison's mother
She hasn't been heard of since
King John sent down to give his regrets
And so did the queen and the prince
King John, somebody told me
Said to a man he knew
"If people go down to the end of the town
Well what can anyone do?
If people go down to the end of the town
Well what can anyone do?"

This Morning It Was Summer


This Morning It Was Summer
Composer(s): Bob Haymes
Performer(s): Nat King Cole; Natalie Cole



This morning it was summer
I remember long ago
A skylark on my shoulder told me so

This morning we were lovers
We were happy and we were gay
But now, love you are somewhere far away
You left me in the sunshine, now there is rain
Oh I tried so hard to find you
But all my searching was in vain

This evening it is winter
Yet my heart sounds this alarm
This morning it was summer in your arms
Yes I tried so hard to find you
But all my searching was in vain

This evening it is winter
Yet my heart sounds this alarm
This morning it was summer in your arms
Summer in, summer in your arms

Crepe On The Old Cabin Door


Crepe On The Old Cabin Door (aka Crepe Upon The Little Cabin Door) Composer(s): Thompson - Guernsey Performer(s): Vernon Dalhart and multiple other artists



Oh, young fellows, do take warning
While you this tale I tell
I tell it from a heart that's sad and sore

Come and learn from me a lesson
As I have learned it well
From the crepe upon the little cabin door

Oh, I left my home and kindred
And those who loved me well
It broke my mother's heart, the life I led

Then, from her there came a letter
To say she wished me well
Now I tell to you the pleading words I read

"I'm getting old and feeble
My hair will soon be grey
And every day I'm waiting at the door

Oh, my boy, come home to see me
Before I go away
Oh, I fear I'll never see you anymore"

But I did not heed the warning
I'd hear it day by day
Just wasting time on women, wine and song

But this kind of sinful pleasure
Lasts only for a day
And the sorrows of repentance last so long

Then at last I journied homeward
And as I climbed the hill
I thought to see my mother's face once more

But as I passed through the gateway
My aching heart stood still
There was crepe upon the little cabin door

Oh, young fellows, do take warning
You've heard this tale I tell
You've heard it from a heart that's sad and sore

Come and learn from me a lesson
As I have learned it well
From the crepe upon the little cabin door

James Dean


James Dean
Composer(s): Jackson Browne;
Glenn Frey; J.D. Souther; Don Henley
Performer(s): The Eagles



James Dean, James Dean
I know just what you mean
James Dean, you said it all so clean
And I know my life would look allright
If I could see it on the silver screen

You were the lowdown rebel if there ever was
Even if you had no cause
James Dean, you said it all so clean
And I know my life would look all right
If I could see it on the silver screen

We'll talk about a low-down bad refrigerator
You were just too cool for school
Sock hop, soda pop, basketball and auto shop
The only thing that got you off was breakin' all the rules
James Dean, James Dean
So hungry and so lean
James Dean, you said it all so clean
And I know my life would look all right
If I could see it on the silver screen

Little James Dean, up on the screen
Wond'rin' who he might be
Along came a Spyder and picked up a rider
And took him down the road to eternity

James Dean, James Dean, you bought it sight unseen

You were too fast to live, too young to die, bye-bye
You were to fast to live, too young to die, bye-bye
Bye-bye, Bye-bye, Bye-bye, Bye, bye

This Moody Bastard


This Moody Bastard
Composer(s): Walter Becker
Performer(s): Walter Becker



Little friend of mine
Can you still recall
Our salad days
Between the ivy walls?
Beneath the autumn sun?
When all is said and done
We were a good combination
We were good clean fun
Still my thoughts roll back
Every now and then
Think about you
Remembering
I start in smiling and
I just can't stop
You on the bottom
Me on top

These days it's like a tomb
Amid in the stacks of gloom
Looking out the window
In the downstairs room
And the time goes by
And the time goes by
Sometimes it goes so slowly
You know a man could cry
Till the day goes down
In deep disgrace
With empty pockets
And a dirty face
And then the day boils over
And there's nothing there
But a roomful of smoke and a lot of hot air

This moody bastard remembers
You were some kind of friend even then
Once in a great while
He needs one...
This moody bastard
This moody bastard
He needs one
He needs some kind of friend now and again
Once in blue moon
Could use one
This moody bastard

Little friend of mine
You don't even know
When the wind starts blowing
How far a man could go
Little friend of mine
Are you even there
Did you disappear
Back into thin air
If you 're still here with me
If you got this far
I hope you're smiling
In fact I know you are

This moody bastard remembers
You were some kind of friend even then
Once in a great while
He needs one...
This moody bastard
This moody bastard
He needs one
He needs some kind of friend now and again
Once in blue moon
Could use one
This moody bastard
This moody bastard

Creo (Javier Solís)


Creo
Composer(s): Carlos Gali
Performer(s): Javier Solís



Creo que estoy equivocado de camino
creo que es imposible ya tu cariño
Muchas veces lloré cuando cuenta me di
de que no me querías, y al verme sufrir
te reíste de mí con ironía

Creo que mi sinceridad fue mi castigo
te di todo mi amor a cambio de martirio
Después de fracasar por el mundo yo he de encontrar
un amor, un amor de verdad

Creo que mi sinceridad fue mi castigo
te di todo mi amor a cambio de martirio
Después de fracasar por el mundo yo he de encontrar
un amor, un amor de verdad

James Connolly


James Connolly
(Traditional)



A great crowd had gathered outside of Kilmeinhem
With their heads uncovered they knelt on the ground
From inside that grim prison lay a brave Irish soldier
His life for his country about to lay down

He went to his death like a true son of Ireland
The firing party he bravely did face
Then the order rang out: "Present Arms, Fire!"
James Connolly fell into a ready-made grave

The black flag they hoisted the cruel deed was over
Gone was the man who loved Ireland so well
There was many a sad heart in Dublin that morning
When they murdered James Connolly, the Irish Rebel!

God's curse on you, England, you cruel-hearted monster
Your deeds they would shame all the devils in hell
There are no flowers blooming but the shamrock is growing
On the grave of James Connolly, the Irish Rebel!

Many years have rolled by since that Irish rebellion
When the guns of Britannia they loudly did speak
The bold I.R.A. they stood shoulder to shoulder
And the blood from their bodies flowed down Sackville Street

The Four Courts of Dublin the English bombarded
The spirit of Freedom they tried hard to quell
For above all the din rose the cry 'No Surrender'
'Twas the voice of James Cannolly, the Irish Rebel

This Moment In Time


This Moment In Time
Composer(s): Carl Belew - Shelby Singelton - W.S. Stevenson
Performer(s): Engelbert Humperdinck



More than a ripple
Less than a splash
The heir to a long line of glory
Give me the morning
and I'll give you a song
It's so good being part of the story...

This Moment in Time
This right time of day
Oh-oh, I love being with you
and watching my life at play...

My love in your eyes
is light in my dreams
and the feelings you choose
have touches of blues and greens...

This trip into time
this time, listen, praise
And like a kid in a store
I'll always want more to taste...

And no matter what comes
I know the sun is gonna shine
Because of you, and me
there'll be This Moment in Time

And no matter what comes
I know the sun is gonna shine
Because of you, and me
there'll be This Moment in Time

More than a ripple
Less than a splash
The heir to a long line of glory
Give me the morning
and I'll give you a song
It's so good being part of the story...

This Moment in Time
This right time of day
Oh-oh, I love being with you
and watching my life at play...

And no matter what comes
I know the sun is gonna shine
Because of you, and me
there'll be This Moment in Time

Hmm, hmm-hmm hmm hmm...

Creo (Fito Paez)


Creo
Composer(s): Fito Paez
Performer(s): Fito Paez



Creo que aun tal vez piensas en mi
creo poder captarlo
creo que al fin nada tiene fin
creo desesperado
creo que morir es una sensación
creo que vivir podría serlo pero ahora es algo mucho mas real
creo que salí a ver un poco de sol
creo que te vi bailando Beatles en alguna vieja casa del lugar

Creo que aun tal vez piensas en mi
creo poder captarlo
y ya no quiero verte tan triste, triste así
creo que estas llorando
me acuerdo que abrí la puerta y eras vos
después me perdí mirándote desnuda y te reías de mi cara de maldad
entonces sentí la cima del amor
y si me caí no importa porque todo todo todo todo esto es de los dos

no quiero nada que nos haga mal
yo creo
yo creo y con eso basta
creo que aun tal vez piensas en mi
creo poder captarlo

James (Hold The Ladder Steady)
Composer(s): John D. Loudermilk

James, James hold the ladder steady
James, James I'm packed tonight I'm ready
James, James hold the ladder steady
I'm a'comin' down to your ar-ar-ar-rms
I'm a'comin' down to your arms

Now James and I we went to mama and showed her my diamond ring
She said "my poor little baby, you must be crazy, to think of such a thing"

So James, James hold the ladder steady
James, James I'm packed tonight I'm ready
James, James hold the ladder steady
I'm a'comin' down to your ar-ar-ar-rms
I'm a'comin' down to your arms

Now James and I we went to daddy and said that we want to be wed
Daddy said "nope, you'll just have to elope" and laughed as he went to bed

But James, James hold the ladder steady
James, James I'm packed tonight I'm ready
James, James hold the ladder steady
I'm a'comin' down to your ar-ar-ar-rms
I'm a'comin' down to your arms

I'd hate to see `em in the morning when they both completely flip
He'll be sayin' "they cain't", she'll be feeling faint
And I'll be kissing my husband`s lips

So James, James hold the ladder steady
James, James I'm packed tonight I'm ready
James, James hold the ladder steady
I'm a'comin' down to your ar-ar-ar-rms
I'm a'comin' down to your arms

James, James hold the ladder steady
James, James I'm packed tonight I'm ready
James, James hold the ladder steady

This Melody


This Melody
Composer(s): Étienne Roda-Gil - Julien Clerc
Performer(s): Julien Clerc; Ray Hamilton



This melody
Is a melody for you
Cette mélodie
C'est l'océan entre nous
Cette mélodie
D'eau salée et de mélancolie
Dans ton pays
Elle te revient parfois
Comme ça, voilà, comme ça

Le vent d'ici
Fait voler tous nos oiseaux
Les champs d'ici
Font ce qu'ils peuvent pour les troupeaux
Les gens d'ici
Qui ne connaîtront pas d'autre vie
Dans ce pays
Dont les fruits sont si beaux
Qu'on se contente des noyaux
This melody
Is a melody for you
Les gens d'ici ne sont pas plus grands
Plus fiers ou plus beaux
Seulement, ils sont d'ici, les gens d'ici,
Comme cette mélodie

Les gens d'ici ne sont pas plus grands
Plus fiers ou plus beaux
Seulement, ils sont d'ici, les gens d'ici,
Comme cette mélodie

Tu est partie
Mais ton rève reste au chaud
Ce vieux soleil
Etait trop fort pour ta peau
Cette mélodie
Qui reviendra parfois dans ta vie
Cette mélodie
Dans ta ville s'est transformée en pluie, en pluie...

That's why
This melody is a melody for you

Creeque Alley


Creeque Alley
Composer(s): John Phillips; Michelle Phillips
Performer(s): The Mamas & The Papas



John and Mitchy were gettin' kind of itchy
Just to leave the folk music behind
Zol and Denny workin' for a penny
Tryin' to get a fish on the line
In a coffee house Sebastian sat
And after every number they'd pass the hat
McGuinn and McGuire just a-gettin' higher
In L.A., you know where that's at
And no one's gettin' fat except Mama Cass

Zolly said "Denny, you know there aren't many"
"Who can sing a song the way that you do, let's go south"
Denny said "Zolly, golly, don't you think that I wish"
"I could play guitar like you"
Zol, Denny and Sebastian sat (at the Night Owl)
And after every number they'd pass the hat
McGuinn and McGuire still a-gettin higher
In L.A., you know where that's at
And no one's gettin' fat except Mama Cass

When Cass was a sophomore, planned to go to Swarthmore
But she changed her mind one day
Standin' on the turnpike, thumb out to hitchhike
"Take me to New York right away"
When Denny met Cass he gave her love bumps
Called John and Zol and that was the Mugwumps
McGuinn and McGuire couldn't get no higher
But that's what they were aimin' at
And no one's gettin' fat except Mama Cass

Mugwumps, high jumps, low slumps, big bumps
Don't you work as hard as you play
Make up, break up, everything is shake up
Guess it had to be that way
Sebastian and Zol formed the Spoonful
Michelle, John, and Denny gettin' very tuneful
McGuinn and McGuire just a-catchin' fire
In L.A., you know where that's at
And everybody's gettin' fat except Mama Cass
Di-di-di-dit dit dit di-di-di-dit, who-o-oa

Broke, busted, disgusted, agents can't be trusted
And Mitchy wants to go to the sea
Cass can't make it, she says we'll have to fake it
We knew she'd come eventually
Greasin' on American Express cards
It's low rent, but keeping out the heat's hard
Duffy's good vibrations and our imaginations
Can't go on indefinitely
And California dreamin' is becomin' a reality

James


James
Composer(s): Billy Joel
Performer(s): Billy Joel



James...we were always friends
From our childhood days
And we made our plans
And we had to go our separate ways
I went on the road
You pursued an education

James...do you like your life
Can you find release
And will you ever change
Will you ever write your masterpiece
Are you still in school
Living up to expectations...James...

You were so relied upon, everybody knows how hard you tried
Hey...just look at what a job you've done
Carrying the weight of family pride
James...you've been well behaved
You've been working so hard
But will you always stay
Someone else's dream of who you are
Do what's good for you, or you're not good for anybody...James

I went on the road
You pursued an education...James...
How you gonna know for sure-everything was so well organised
Hey...now everything is so secure
and everybody else is satisfied

James...do you like your life
Can you find release
And will you ever change
When will you write your masterpiece
Do what's good for you, or you're not good for anybody...James...

This May Be The Night


This May Be The Night
Composer(s): Mack Gordon - Harry Revel
Performer(s): Arthur Jarrett, Sonja Henie, Richard Greene, Buddy Ebsen, Joan Davis



This may be the night
You may be the one
I suppose that Heaven knows
What fate may have in store

This may be the night
You may be the one
Where have you been hiding, Dear
Why haven't we met before

Think of all the moonlight
That we should have shared
Moments in the moonlight
I could have declared I love you

Lovely one, if you feel the way I do
Then I'm sure, so very sure
The world has just begun
Sure that this is the night and you're the one

Think of all the moonlight
That we should have shared
Moments in the moonlight
I could have declared I love you

Lovely one, if you feel the way I do
Then I'm sure, so very sure
My world has just begun
Sure that this is the night and you're the one
This may be the night

Credo Nell'amore


Credo Nell'amore ((French & Spanish Titles: Les Choses De L'amour (by Dalida); Las Cosas Del Amor (by Dalida)) Composer(s): Chris Michaelessi - Paul de Senneville Performer(s): Dalida



Amore ti ricordi
Il primo appuntamento
Insieme sul Tamigi a ridere per ore
E come vecchi amici partire in un momento
E accorgersi a Parigi che il nostro amore
E poi Milano e Roma, le cene in trttoria
Per chi si vuole bene l'ltalia è poesia
Finire le serate vedendo un film insieme
E darsi ancora un bacio sulla parola fine

Lo sai che avevo chiuso
Per sempre questo cuore
Amore arrivi tu
E credo nell'amore

Svegliarmi la mattina trovarti accanto a me
Non essre più sola a ber il moi caffè
Capire cosa sono paura e nostalgia
Appena per lavoro ti tocca andare via
Son cose che da tempo non ricordavo più
Il gusto della vita me l'hai ridato tu
Da quando ti conosco e guardo gli occhi tuoi
Non so più dire io e dico solo noi

Lo sai che avevo chiuso
Per sempre questo cuore
Amore arrivi tu
E credo nell'amore

Amore ti ricordi il primo appuntamento
Mi sembra fosse ieri eppure è tanto tempo
Del tempo che mi resta metà io ne darei
Per essere sicura che non mi lascerai
Parigi oppure Londra, non mi interessa più
Io sono la tua ombra il mondo moi sei tu
Se un giorno avremo un figlio lui ci somiglierà
E come t'amo io lui certo t'amerà

Lo sai che avevo chiuso
Per sempre questo cuore
Amore ci sei tu
E credo nell'amore

Good-bye, Joe, me gotta go, me oh my oh
Me gotta go pole the pirogue down the bayou
My Yvonne, the sweetest one, me oh my oh

And I'll catch all the fish in the bayou
Swap my mon to buy Yvonne what she need-o

'Cause tonight I'm gonna see my ma cher amio
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay-o

This Masquerade


This Masquerade
Composer(s): Leon Russell
First release by: Leon Russell - 1972
Covered by multiple other artists



Are we really happy here
With this lonely game we play
Looking for words to say
Searching but not finding
understanding anywhere
We're lost in a masquerade

Both afraid to say we're just to far away
From being close together from the start
We tried to talk it over but the words got in the way
We're lost inside this lonely game we play

Thoughts of leaving disappear
Every time I see your eyes
No matter how hard I try
To understand the reasons
Why we carry on this way
We're lost in a masquerade
