Catch


Catch Composer(s): Simon Gallup - Robert Smith - Porl Thompson - Lol Tolhurst - Boris Williams First release by: The Cure - 1987 Covered by multiple other artists



Yes I know who you remind me of
a girl I think I used to know
Yes I'd see her when the day got colder
on those days when it felt like snow
You know I even think that she stared like you
she used to just stand there and stare
And roll her eyes right up to heaven and make like I just wasn't there

And she used to fall down a lot
That girl was always falling again and again
And I used to sometimes try to catch her
But I never even caught her name

And sometimes we would spend the night just rolling about on the floor
And I remember even though it felt soft at the time, I always used to wake up sore
You know I even think that she smiled like you, she used to just stand there and smile
And her eyes would go all sort of far away and stay like that for quite a while

And I remember she used to fall down a lot
That girl was always falling again and again
And I used to sometimes try to catch her
But I never even caught her name
Yes I sometimes even tried to catch her
But I never even caught her name

Follow Me (John Denver)


Follow Me
Composer(s): John Denver
Performer(s): John Denver



It's by far the hardest thing I've ever done
to be so in love with you and so a-lone

Chorus:
Follow me where I go what I do and who I know
make it part of you to be a part of me
follow me up and down all the way and all around
take my hand and say you'll follow me

It's long been on my mind you know it's been a long, long time
I'll try to find the way that I can make you understand
the way I feel about you and just how much I need you
to be there where I can talk to you when there's no one else around

Chorus

You see, I'd like to share my life with you and show you things I've seen
places that I'm going to places where I've been
to have you there beside me and never be alone
and all the time that you're with me then we will be at home

The Eyes Of The World


The Eyes Of The World
Composer(s): Jeff Branen - Arthur Lange



Oh it's great to be great and be something in the eyes of the world
you proclaim when a name to the eyes of all the world is unfurled
Not for me; can't you see I am longing for a land night and day
for a place on the face of this world of ours where we both can hide away

There's a land that is grand! I can see it every night in my dreams
Over the sea, here to me, comes the fragrance of its flowers, so it seems
Loving time, loving clime, where the roses are in bloom all the while!
Let us fly, you and I, on our honey moon, to that far enchanted Isle

The eyes of the world, won't you take me from the eyes of the world?
You know that I want to be, want to be free
take me to a lonely island far over the sea
We can live there alone
We can start a little kingdom of our own, where we can love all the day
far far away, far from the eyes of the world

Cataclismo


Cataclismo Composer(s): Esteban Taronji Performer(s): Javier Solís and multiple other artists



Qué pasará si tú me dejas
qué pasará si tú me olvidas
le he preguntado a las estrellas
a la luna y al mismo sol

Qué pasará si andando el tiempo
de mí te cansas y te alejas
le he preguntado a la distancia
a ver si el eco llega hasta Dios

Desesperado presintiendo tu partida
me imagino que te has ido
para ver la reacción
que sufriremos cuando estemos separados
y tú pienses en mis besos
y yo añore tu calor

Fue la visión de este delirio
todo un desastre de locura
como si el mundo se estrellara
un cataclismo para los dos

Desesperado presintiendo tu partida
me imagino que te has ido
para ver la reacción
que sufriremos cuando estemos separados
y tú pienses en mis besos
y yo añore tu calor

Fue la visión de este delirio
todo un desastre de locura
como si el mundo se estrellara
un cataclismo para los dos

Follow Me (Chicago)


Follow Me
Composer(s): James Pankow; David Foster
Performer(s): Chicago



One shoe on; one shoe off
Nothin' in life is decideable; wouldn't you know
Nothing's supposed to be easy
Take one day at a time
Ain't no need to hurry
Realize where you are, and where you're going to

Chorus:
Follow me, ain't no need to go on all by yourself
Follow me; don't need nobody else
Follow me; and together we'll build a better life
Follow me

One more time; toe the line
Nothing in life is impossible
Both of us know
Life is as good as we make it
Dark reflections of the past
Drown in our tomorrows
Time to laugh; time to love
Time to live again

Chorus

Time to laugh; time to live again

The Eyes Of Texas


The Eyes Of Texas
Composer(s): John Sinclair



I once did know a President
Away down South, in Texas
And, always, everywhere he went
He saw the eyes of Texas

The Eyes of Texas are upon you
All the live long day
The Eyes of Texas are upon you
You can not get away
Do not think you can escape them
At night or early in the morn
The Eyes of Texas are upon you
'Till Gabriel blows his horn

Sing me a song of Prexy
Of days long since gone by
Again I seem to great him
And hear his kind reply
Smiles of gracious welcome
Before my memory rise
Again I hear him say to me
"Remember Texas' Eyes"

Cat Size


Cat Size Composer(s): Suzi Quatro - Len Tuckey Performer(s): Suzi Quatro



Now I'm done playing with fools
And I've paid all my childhood dues
I find the mountain much steeper to climb
Am I just one of the crowd?
I decided a few days ago
There's no room
Room for me in this show
I changed my make-up completely this time
Now I'm not one ... one of the crowd
So good-bye
Good-bye blind eyes
I'm gonna find me a cat's eye
Good-bye
Good-bye blind eyes
I know what I want to see
So good-bye
Good-bye blind eyes
I'm gonna find me a cat's eye
Good-bye
Good-bye blind eyes
I know what I want to be
Now I'm done playing the fool
And I've paid all my childhood dues
I find the mountain much steeper to climb
Now I'm not one ... one of the crowd?

Folk Song


Folk Song
Composer(s): Pete Brown; Jack Bruce
Performer(s): Jack Bruce



How will I find you O my love
In the darkness of day
I will look in glass forests
Where electric fish play
How will I see you when I find you
In the brightness of light
I will see you on the silver train
That people call night

How will I know you when I see you
In the bareness of spring
I will know you by starlight
Where the road's echoes sing

How will I love you when i know you
In the greyness of mist
I will love you forever
Where sadness hass kisses

Walking by the sea
See the names floating by
Trying to find each other's
Trails in the sky

Eyes Of A New York Woman


Eyes Of A New York Woman
Composer(s): Mark James
Performer(s): B.J. Thomas



I'll be in New York City
When the lights shine bright tonight
Where my woman waits for me
Arms that hold me tenderly
Lips as sweet as honeycomb
Love that waits for me alone
Deep in the eyes of a New York woman

The eyes of a New York woman
Are eyes that can hold a man
She swept me off of my feet
Made my world seem so complete
I'll never have to look for more
I found what I've been lookin' for
Deep in the eyes of a New York woman

Thought I wasn't ready for the tie that binds
But I lost my heart to her when her eyes met mine
Now I see her differently
I've got to make her mine

So I'll make my home Fun City
And let the lights shine bright on me
East side cafés, West side plays
Uptown, downtown, I'll be there
I'll never have to look for more
I found what I've been lookin' for
Deep in the eyes of a New York woman
The eyes of a New York woman
Are eyes that can hold a man
She swept me off of my feet
Made my world seem so complete
I'll never have to look for more
I found what I've been lookin' for
Deep in the eyes of a New York woman

Well I don't know where they come from
But they sure do come
I hope they comin' for me
And I don't know how they do it
But they sure do it good
I hope they doin' it for free

They give me cat scratch fever
Cat scratch fever

The first time that I got it
I was just ten years old
I got it from some kitty next foor
I went and see the Dr. and
He gave me the cure

They give me cat scratch fever
Cat scratch fever

It's nothin dangerous
I feel no pain
I've got to ch-ch-change
You know you got it when you're going insane
It makes a grown man cryin' cryin'
Won't you make my bed

I make the pussy purr with
The stroke of my hand
They know they gettin' it from me
They know just where to go
When they need their lovin man
They know I do it for free

They give me cat scratch fever
Cat scratch fever

Följ Med Mig


Följ Med Mig
English Title: Come With Me
Performer(s): Agnetha Fältskog



Ni som tror på att lyckan sig vänder
Följ med mig, följ med mig
Vi skall fara till främmande länder
Följ med mig, följ med mig

Vill du lyckan och kärleken fånga
Följ med mig, följ med mig
När vi hör signalerna många
Följ med mig, följ med mig

Där skall vi i palmens skugga
Få höra på musik
Och se Söderhavet som glimmar i sol
Jag minns den från i fjol

Alla spargrisar skall nu bli tömda
Följ med mig, följ med mig
Alla sorger skall där bliva glömda
Följ med mig, följ med mig

Följ med mig, följ med mig
Följ med mig, följ med mig

Där skall vi i palmens skugga
Få höra på musik
Och se Söderhavet som glimmar i sol
Jag minns den från i fjol

Alla spargrisar skall nu bli tömda
Följ med mig, följ med mig
Alla sorger skall där bliva glömda
Följ med mig, följ med mig

Om ni tycker att det låter roligt
Följ med mig, följ med mig
Till ett land som är varmt, skönt och soligt
Följ med mig, följ med mig

The Eyes Of A Child


The Eyes Of A Child
Composer(s): Ron Bloom - Graham Russell
Performer(s): Air Supply



When you look to the past for life's long hidden meaning
For the dreams and the plans made in your youth
Does the thrill to achieve match the warm hidden feeling
That lies so still and lives in you

In the eyes of a child there is joy, there is laughter
There is hope, there is trust, a chance to shape the future
For the lessons of life there is no better teacher
Than the look in the eyes of a child

You've found the place to walk the path you've chosen
You'll never miss the world you left behind
When life gives life, it's happiness unbroken
When you give love, it's love you'll find

In the eyes of a child there is joy, there is laughter
There is hope, there is trust, a chance to shape the future
For the lessons of life, there is no better teacher
Than the look in the eyes of a child

In the eyes of a child, there is joy, there is laughter
There is hope, there is trust, a chance to shape the future
For the lessons of life, there is no better teacher
Than the look in the eyes of a child

In the eyes of a child, there is joy, there is laughter
There is hope, there is trust, a chance to shape the future
For the lessons of life, there is no better teacher
Than the look in the eyes of a child

Ah-better watch out 'cause or you're gonna be kissed
Better watch out 'cause he is in you midst

Better watch out 'cause I'm the Cat Man

Todos hablan a la vez
folis verghet
los secretos se revelan sin saber porqué
Adónde voy esta vez
folis verghet

al cine o tus pies
Todos quieren saber
folis verghet
todos buscan una pista
cada anochecer
Debo reconocer
folis verghet
hay un tipo en mi cabeza
que no se quién es
Ya garpé para ver
folis verghet
los secretos se revelan
sin saber por qué

Der Lachende Vagabund


Der Lachende Vagabund
((Dutch Version: De Lachende Vagebond (Bobbejaan Schoepen))
Composer(s): J. Lowe
Performer(s): Fred Bertelmann



Tja da da da da da da da da da

Was ich erlebt hab' das kann nur ich erleben
Ich bin ein Vagabund
Selbst für die Fürsten soll's den grauen Alltag geben
Meine Welt ist bunt
Meine Welt ist bunt

Tja da da da da da da da da da

Denk' ich an Capri dann denk' ich auch an Tina
Sie liebte einen Lord
aber als sie mich sah die schöne Signorina
lief sie ihm gleich fort
Lief sie ihm gleich fort

Tja da da da da da da da da da

Kam ich nach Spanien dann schenkten mir die Wirte
dort ohne Geld nichts ein
Doch ihre Frau'n die ich am Tag spazieren führte
schenkten mir den Wein
schenkten mir den Wein

Tja da da da da da da da da da

So lachte mir und so lacht mir auch noch heute
immer ein roter Mund
Und es gibt keine Stunde die ich je bereute
Meine Welt ist bunt
meine Welt ist bunt

Tja da da da da da da da da da

Bin ein Vagabund

Cat In The Window


Cat In The Window (The Bird In The Sky) Composer(s): Alan Gordon - Garry Bonner Performer(s): The Turtles



Fly away, fly away
There's a cat in the window
And he's watching all the birds go passing by
He'd love to fly out the window
Go where the wind goes
And so would I
Like that cat in the window
Who keeps wishing for some wings to take a ride
I'd love to glide to a rainbow
Off where the clouds go dancing by
And if I could fly
You wouldn't find me hangin' around
Watching the birds go by

Yes the cat in the window
Has a tear in his eye
I should leave today, fly away
Why should I stay like the cat in the window
Who keeps watching the birds
Go by from the window
If I could fly though
You won't find me
Don't even try to

Folhetim


Folhetim
Composer(s): Chico Buarque
Performer(s): Chico Buarque;
and various other artists



Se acaso me quiseres
Sou dessas mulheres
Que só dizem sim
Por uma coisa à toa
Uma noitada boa
Um cinema, um botequim

E, se tiveres renda
Aceito uma prenda
Qualquer coisa assim
Como uma pedra falsa
Um sonho de valsa
Ou um corte de cetim

E eu te farei as vontades
Direi meias verdades
Sempre à meia luz
E te farei, vaidoso, supor
Que é o maior e que me possuis

Mas na manhã seguinte
Não conta até vinte
Te afasta de mim
Pois já não vales nada
És página virada
Descartada do meu folhetim

The Express Office


The Express Office
(Traditional)
Performer(s): Paralee Weddington



The express office opened
When an old man worn in years
Entered, an' his tear worn face
Showed signs of grief an' tears
And as the clerk approached him
With trembling voice did say
I'm looking for my boy, sir
He's coming home today

O, you have made a slight mistake
For surely you must know
This is an express office, sir
An' not a town depot
An' if your boy is coming home
With smile the clerk did say
You'll find him with the passengers
At the station o'er the way

You do not understand me, sir
An' the old man shook his head
He's not coming home as a passenger
But by express instead
He's coming home to Mother
An' a tear fell as he said
He's coming in his casket, sir
He's coming to us dead

Just then a whistle pierced his ear
An express train, someone cried
The ole man rose in breathless haste
And quickly rushed outside
An' from the coach a long white box
Was lowered to the ground
The scenes were most heart rendering
To those who stood around

Don't handle it so rough boys
It contains our darling Jack
He went away, as you boys know
See how he's coming back
He broke his dear old Mother's heart
Her warning has come true
She told him he'd be brought back dead
When he joined the boys in Blue

Cat Food


Cat Food Composer(s): Robert Fripp - Ian McDonald - Peter Sinfield Performer(s): King Crimson and multiple other artists



Lady Supermarket with an apple in her basket
Knocks in the manager's door
Grooning to the muzak from a speaker in shoe rack
Lays out her goods on the floor
Everything she's chosen is conveniently frozen
"Eat it and come back for more!"

Lady Window Shopper with a new one in the hopper
Whips up a chemical brew
Croaking to a neighbour while she polishes a sabre
Knows how to flavour a stew
Never need to worry with a tin of 'Hurri Curri'
"Poisoned especially for you!"

No use to complain
If you're caught out in the rain
Your mother's quite insane
Cat food cat food cat food again

Lady Yellow Stamper with a fillet in a hamper
Dying to finish the course
Goodies for the table with a fable on the label
Drowning in miracle sauce
Don't think I am that rude if I tell you that it's cat food
"Not even fit for a horse!"
Fripp, Sinfield, McDonald

Fogyism


Fogyism
Composer(s): Ida Cox
Performer(s): Ida Cox



Why do people believe in some old sign?
Why do people believe in some old sign?
To hear a hoot owl holler, someone is surely dyin'

Some will break a mirror, cry bad luck for seven years
Some will break a mirror, cry bad luck for seven years
And if a black cat crosses them, they'll break right down in tears

To dream of muddy water, trouble is knockin' at your door
To dream of muddy water, trouble is knockin' at your door
Your man is sure to leave you, and never return no more

When your man come home evil, tell you you are getting old
When your man come home evil, tell you you are getting old
That's a true sign he's got someone else bakin' his jelly roll
