Romance In The Dark (Gladys Swarthout)
Romance In The Dark
Composer(s): Sam Coslow - Gertrude Neisen
Performer(s): Gladys Swarthout
and multiple other artists
Romance in the dark with you
All at once I knew
Darlin' love was near
I thrill to my finger tips
I could feel your lips
Darlin' oh so near
The music was so entrancing
The lights all began to fade
I said to myself keep dancing
But only my heart obeyed
A flame grew from just a spark
When I found romance in the dark with you
The music was so entrancing
The lights all began to fade
I said to myself keep dancing
But only my heart obeyed
A flame grew from just a spark
When I found romance in the dark with you

The Wind That Shakes The Corn
The Wind That Shakes The Corn
Performer(s): The Irish Rovers
I sat within the valley green I sat with my true love
My sad heart had to choose between Old Ireland and my love
I looked at her and then I thought how Ireland was torn
While soft the wind blew down the glen and shook the golden corn
t'was hard the woeful words to bring to break the ties that bound
But harder still to bear the shame of English chains around
And so I said, the mountain glen I'll seek in early morn
And join the brave united men while soft winds shook the corn
While sad I kissed away her tears my fond arms round her clung
A British shot burst in our ears from out of the wild woods round
One bullet pierced my true love's side a rose pierced by a thorn
And in my arms in blood she died while soft winds shook the corn
So blood for blood without remorse I've taken in the glen
I placed my true love's clayful corpse I joined true Irish men
But around her grave I wander drear sometimes in early morn
And with breaking heart sometimes I hear the wind that shakes the corn

Committed To Parkview
Committed To Parkview
Composer(s): Johnny Cash
First recording/First release by: Johnny Cash and The Tennessee Three - 1975/1976
There's a man across the hall who sits staring at the floor
He thinks he's Hank Williams hear him singing through the door
There's a girl in 203,who stops by to visit me
And she talks about her songs and the star that she should be
There are lots of special people staying in or passing through
And for one thing or another,committed to Parkview
There's a girl in 307,coming down on thorazine
And a superstar's ex-drummer trying to kick benzedrine
There's a boy just below me who's the son of some well-known
He was brought in by his mother 'cause his daddy's always gone
There's a bum from down on Broadway and a few quite well to dues
Who have withdrawn from the rat race and committed to Parkview
There's a girl who cries above me,loud enough to wake the dead
They don't know what she has taken that has scrambled up her head
There's a writer and a singer who has tried and tried and tried
They just brought him in this morning an attempted suicide
There are those that never made it,those that did but now are through
Some came of their own good chosing,some committed to Parkview
They wake us about 6:30,just before the morning meal
While they're taking blood pressure,they ask us how we feel
And I always say fantastic there ain't nothing wrong with me
And then they give me my injection and i go right back to sleep
The days are kind of foggy and the nights are dreamy too
But they're taking good care of me, committed to Parkview

Romance Del Enamorado Y Muerte
Romance Del Enamorado Y Muerte
Composer(s): Victor Jara
Performer(s): Victor Jara
Un sueño soñaba anoche
soñito del alma mia
soñaba con mis amores
que en mis brazos los tenia
Vi entrar señora muy blanca
muy mas que la nieve fria
por donde has entrado amor
como has entrado a mi vida
Las puertas estan cerradas
ventanas y celosias
no soy el amor amante
soy la muerte Dios me envia
Ay muerte tan rigorosa
dejame vivir un dia
un dia no puede ser
una hora tienes de vida
Muy de prisa se cansaba
mas de prisa se vestia
ya se va para la calle
en donde su amor vivia
Abreme la puerta blanca
abreme la puerta niña
como te podre yo abrir
si la ocasion no es venida
Mi padre no fue a palacio
mi madre no esta dormida
si no me abres esta noche
ya no me abriras querida
La muerte me anda buscando
junto a ti vida seria
vete bajo mi ventana
donde labraba y cocia
Te echare cordon de seda
para que subas arriba
y si el hilo no alcanzare
mis trenzas añadiria
Se rompio el cordon de seda
la muerte que ahi venia
vamos el enamorado
que la hora ya es cumplida

The Wind
The Wind
Composer(s): Cat Stevens
First release by: Cat Stevens - 1971
Covered by multiple other artists
I listen to the wind, to the wind of my soul
Where I end up, well, I think only God really knows
I swam across the setting sun, but never, never, never, never
I never wanted water once, no never, never, never
I listen to my words, but they fall far below
I let my music take me where my heart wants to go
I swam across the devil's lake, but never, never, never, never
I'll never make the same mistake, no never, never, never
Hear me now, that's me now
Hear me now, watch me
Hear me now, that's me now
Hear me now, watch me
What me say now, tell me to the wind
Turn on down the corner, get my butt movin'
Open your heart to the invitation
And it's like this, how we begun
I listen to the wind, to the wind of my soul
Where I end up, well, I think only God really knows
I swam across the devil's lake, but never, never, never, never
I'll never make the same mistake, no never, never, never
One time, tell me now
Just how we begin
Tell me now, back and back out in the wind
It's like this, that's how we begin
It's like that now, back up in the wind
It's like this, that's how we begin
It's like that now, back up in the wind
It's like this, that's how we begin
Tell me now, back and back out in the wind
Listen to it
Listen to the wind
Listen to it
Listen to the wind
(repeat)...

Romance De Valentia
Romance De Valentia
Composer(s): Quintero; León; Quiroga
Performer(s): Raphael
Era mu poco en la vida
Tan poco, que nada era
Por no tener, no tenia
Ni madre que lo quisiera
Era un pobre aficionao
Que buscaba la ocasion
De dejar en un cerrao
Frente a un toro, el corazon
Romance de valentia
Escrito con luna blanca
Y gracia de andalucia
En campos de salamanca
Embiste, toro bonito
Embiste, por caridad
Morir se me importa un pito
Pues nadie me iba a llorar
Aqui no hay plaza, ni hombre
Ni traje tabaco y oro
Aqui hay un niño, muy hombre
Que esta delante de un toro
En matarme no repares
Te concedo hasta el perdon
Y ya que no tengo madre
La macarena me ampare
Si me cuelgas de un piton
Todas las noches saltaba
Sin miedo, la talanquera
Y a cara o cruz se jugaba
Al toro, la vida entera
Quiza fuera colorao
El bure que lo embistio
Y mordiendo su costao
Malherido lo dejo
Romance de valentia
Teñido de luna blanca
Y sangre de andalucia
En campos de salamanca
Adios, plaza de sevilla
Ya nunca me habras de ver
Pisar tu arena amarilla
¡Con tanto que los soñe!
Adios, capote de seda
Que fuiste mi compañero
Morir en esta pelea
Es cosa de buen torero
Ya, vestido de alamares
No ha de verme la aficion
Y como no tengo madre
La macarena me ampare
Y me de su bendicion
Y alli quedo ante la fiera
Ninguno le vio caer
Nadie rezo, tan siquiera
Ni un padre nuestro por el
Por el ninguna serrana
Lloro de luto vestida
Por el ninguna campana
Doblo amaneciendo el dia
Pero, en cambio, entre azucenas
Y entre velas enrizas
En san gil, la macarena
Si que lloraba de pena
Por la muerte del chaval

The Wild West Is Where I Want To Be
The Wild West Is Where I Want To Be
Composer(s): Tom Lehrer
First release by: Tom Lehrer - 1953
Now if I may indulge in a bit of personal history
a few years ago I worked for a while at the Los Alamos scientific laboratory in New Mexico
I had a job there as a spy
Now, I guess you know that the staff out there at that time was composed almost exclusively of spies...
of one persuasion or another
And, while I was out there
I came to realize how much the Wild West had changed since the good old days of Wyatt Earp and Home on the Range
and here then is a modern cowboy ballad commemorating that delightful metamorphosis called
The Wild West Is Where I Wanna Be
Along the trail you'll find me lopin'
Where the spaces are wide open
In the land of the old A.E.C. (yea-hah!)
Where the scenery's attractive
And the air is radioactive
Oh, the wild west is where I wanna be
Mid the sagebrush and the cactus
I'll watch the fellas practice
Droppin' bombs through the clean desert breeze
I'll have on my sombrero
And of course I'll wear a pair o'
Levis over my lead B.V.D.'s
Ah will leave the city's rush
Leave the fancy and the plush
Leave the snow and leave the slush
And the crowds
Ah will seek the desert's hush
Where the scenery is lush
How I long to see the mushroom clouds
'Mid the yuccas and the thistles
I'll watch the guided missiles
While the old F.B.I. watches me (yea-hah!)
Yes, I'll soon make my appearance
(Soon as I can get my clearance)
'Cause the wild west is where I wanna be

Adapted from: C'mon Everybody - 1958
Composer(s): Eddy Mitchell; Eddie Cochran; Jerry Capehart
Performer(s): Eddy Mitchell - 1963
L'autre soir lorsque tu m'as dit au revoir
J'ai gardé au fond de moi un peu d'espoir
Mais tu n'es pas près de revenir
Avec un ami je t'ai vue partir
Comment vas-tu mentir?
Je suis sûr de moi et sûr de mes pensées
J'étais sûr de toi pourtant tu m'as trompé
J'attends le moment où je vais souffrir
Que vas-tu me dire pour te repentir
Comment vas-tu mentir?
Tu es près de moi mais ton esprit n'est pas là
Tu es tout sourire mais tu dis n'importe quoi
Vraiment tu fais tout pour m'évincer
Oui j'en ai assez tu peux t'en aller
Maintenant tu peux partir
Maintenant tu peux partir...

Romance (Mario Lanza)
Romance
Composer(s): Sigmund Romberg;
Otto Harbach; Oscar Hammerstein II
Performer(s): Mario Lanza;
and various other artists
Romance, a playboy who is born each spring
To teach the nightingale to sing
A very pretty song: "I love you"
Romance, a legend on an old brocade
A prince who tells a country maid: "I love you"
Now where this whimsy comes from, I don't know
For when it comes it's just about to go
Romance, a flower that will bloom awhile
With sunshine from a lover's smile
That lover's tears bedew! Ah!
Yet, when I seek this beauty
Flower of youth's first dawning
I find a prosy work-a-day world
Stretching and yawning!
Love is locked up in cages
Kept for a poet's pages
Life and adventure
Don't seem to be paying attention to me!
And so I dream of fair Romance
And let my fancies weave pretty stories
And tho' I know they are not so
I like to go wand'ring amid their wistful glories
My princes become what I mould them
And they stay for the breath of a sigh!
I open my arms to enfold them
And they're gone like a breeze rushing by
Ah, this is a humdrum world
But when I dream I set it dancing
When life is gray, I have a way to keep it gay
Passing the time of day with love

Wild Side Of Life
Wild Side Of Life
Composer(s): William Warren - Arlie A. Carter
First release by: Jimmy Heap - 1951
Covered by multiple other artists
You wouldn't read my letter if I wrote you
You asked me not to call you on the phone
But there's something I'm wanting to tell you
So I wrote it in the words of this song
I didn't know God made honky tonk angels
I might have known you'd never make a wife
You gave up the only one that ever loved you
And went back to the wild side of life
The glamour of the gay night-life has lured you
To the places where the wine and liquor flow
Where you wait to be anybody's baby
And forget the truest love you'll ever know
I didn't know God made honky tonk angels
I might have known you'd never make a wife
You gave up the only one that ever loved you
And went back to the wild side of life
Yes it hurt me to know that you don't love me
Though I know that our love's forever gone
And it's killed my soul and pride, Dear, inside me
When I saw you in that stranger's arms so long
I didn't know God made honky tonk angels
I might have known you'd never make a wife
You gave up the only one that ever loved you
And went back to the wild side of life
I'll just live my life alone with mem'ries of you
And dream of kisses traded for my tears
And no-one will ever know how much I love you
And I pray that you'll be happy through the years
I didn't know God made honky tonk angels
I might have known you'd never make a wife
You gave up the only one that ever loved you
And went back to the wild side of life

Comment Tuer L'amant De Sa Femme Quand On A Été Élevé Comme Moi Dans La Tradition
Comment Tuer L'amant De Sa Femme Quand On A Été Élevé Comme Moi Dans La Tradition
Composer(s): Jacques Brel; G. Jouannest
Performer(s): Jacques Brel
Comment tuer l'amant de sa femme
Quand on a été comme moi élevé
Dans les traditions?
Comment tuer l'amant de sa femme
Quand on a été comme moi élevé
Dans la religion?
Il me faudrait du temps
Et du temps j'en ai pas
Pour elle je travaille tout l'temps
La nuit je veille de nuit
Le jour je veille de jour
Le dimanche je fais des extras
Et même si j'étais moins lâche
Je touve que ce serait dommage
De salir ma réputation
Bien sûr je dors dans le garage
Bien sûr il dort dans mon lit
Bien sûr c'est moi qui fait l'ménage
Mais qui n'a pas ses p'tits soucis?
Comment tuer l'amant de sa femme
Quand on a été comme moi élevé
Dans les traditions?
Il y a l'arsenic ouais
C'est trop long
Il y a le révolver
Mais c'est trop court
Il y a l'amitié
C'est trop cher
Il y a le mépris
C'est un péché
Comment tuer l'amant d'sa femme
Quand on a reçu comme moi
La croix d'honneur
Chez les bonnes sœurs?
Comment tuer l'amant d'sa femme
Moi qui n'ose même pas
Le lui dire avec des fleurs?
Comme je n'ai pas l'courage
De l'insulter tout l'temps
Il dit que l'amour me rend lâche
Comme il est en chômage
Il dit en me frappant
Que l'amour le rend imprévoyant
Il croit que c'est amusant
Pour un homme qui a mon âge
Qui n'a plus de femme et onze enfants
Bien sûr je leur fais la cuisine
Je bats les chiens et les tapis
Le soir je leur chante "Nuit de Chine"
Mais qui n'a pas ses p'tits soucis?
Pourquoi tuer l'amant d'sa femme
Puisque c'est à cause de moi
Qu'il est un peu vérolé?
Pourquoi tuer l'amant d'ma femme
Puisque c'est à cause de moi
Qu'il est péniciliné?

Romance (Chico Buarque)
Romance
Composer(s): Chico Buarque
Performer(s): Chico Buarque
Te seqüestrei
Vou te reter pra sempre
Na minha idéia
No teu lugar, talvez
Fique alguma tonta, uma dublê
Uma mulher alheia
Na minha idéia
Vives plenamente
És a pessoa
Com todas as canções
Os momentos bons e as horas más
Que a memória coa
Nas horas à toa
Às vezes ando a cismar
Serei eu mesmo
Este cantor confuso
Que te rodeia
Ou estarei feliz
Sendo eternamente o que já fui
Dentro da tua idéia

The Wild Rover
The Wild Rover
(Traditional)
Performer(s): Dropkick Murphys
and multiple other artists
I've been a wild rover for many's the year
I've spent all me money on whiskey and beer
But now I'm returning with gold in great store
And I never will play the wild rover no more
And it's No, Nay, never
No, nay never no more
Will I play the wild rover
No never no more
I went in to an alehouse I used to frequent
And I told the landlady me money was spent
I asked her for credit, she answered me nay
Such a customer as you I can have any day
And it's No, Nay, never
No, nay never no more
Will I play the wild rover
No never no more
I took up from my pocket, ten sovereigns bright
And the landlady's eyes opened wide with delight
She says "I have whiskeys and wines of the best
And the words that you told me were only in jest"
And it's No, Nay, never
No, nay never no more
Will I play the wild rover
No never no more
I'll go home to my parents, confess what I've done
And I'll ask them to pardon their prodigal son
And, when they've caressed me as oft times before
I never will play the wild rover no more
And it's No, Nay, never
No, nay never no more
Will I play the wild rover
No never no more

Enfin, plus ou moins jolies, jolies
Yes Sir, yes Sir
Mais comment trouvez-vous ma sœur?

Yes Sir, yes Sir
Mais comment trouvez-vous ma sœur?
N'est-elle pas à la hauteur
Pour qui cherche un souffre-douceur?
Toutes les femmes sont à prendre
Enfin, y en a qui peuvent attendre
Yes Sir, yes Sir
Mais comment trouvez-vous ma sœur?

Performer(s): Lou Monte
Purple shawdows are creeping
And the fountain is weeping
Hear the trees gently sigh
While the wind's murming by
As they ride from afar
All my memories awaken
'Neath each bright watching star
Play for one who's forsaken
On my Roman guitar
Suona, suona mia chitarra
Lascia piangere il mio cuore
Senza casa e senza amore
Mi rimani solo tu
Se la voce è un po' velata
Accompagnami in Sordina
La mia bella fornarina al balcone non c'è più
Suona, suona mia chitarra
Lascia piangere il mio cuore
Senza casa e senza amore
Mi rimani solo tu
Purple shawdows are creeping
And the fountain is weeping
Hear the trees gently sigh
While the wind's murming by
As they ride from afar
All my memories awaken
'Neath each bright watching star
Play for one who's forsaken

Wild Places
Wild Places
Composer(s): Duncan Browne
Performer(s): Duncan Browne
and multiple other artists
La prima donna slipped into her leather
But she was restless, she knew it in her heart of hearts
She said 'tonight you'd better pull yourself together
Because tonight I'm going to pull myself apart'
Out on the streets everyone is searching for a thrill
But she's the only one that's out there really dressed to kill
And she said 'listen to me, it's not a tragedy
This time I'm getting through and now there's something
You can do for me and ohhhh...
Take me to the wild places
And let me show you what the night is for
'Cause I don't want to dream
I want to set the wheels in motion
I don't want to see your eyes across a dancing floor...
TV angel with her eyes full of smoke
Gazing at the hero, he's do mucho macho
He shrugs, he says 'this must be some kind of joke'
As she pulls on his cigarette and loves him to distraction
But she cries 'I don't want to feel like a machine
I'm not the only one who wants to feel the in-between
That's why I'm deep into this fatal fascination
That's why I've lost the art of conversation
And ohhh...
Take me to the wild places
If you want to see what's really in my soul
But you better keep your eye on where my pretty face is
'Cause in the heat of the moment
I just lose control
I just lose control
Eyes out of focus, the sharpening of blades
The sad tension, reek of Patchouli
Even the jokers are dealing in spades
It's one dimension, it's all so passé
Just then a voice said 'honey
It's too late to change your mind'
Her face tightened, I could see she'd found a new design
And she said 'listen to me, it's just a fantasy
This time I'm coming through and now
There's something you can do for me
Ohh... Take me to the wild places
And let me show you what the night is for
And I don't want to dream
I want to set the wheels in motion
I want to see your eyes across the dancing floor
Ooh, lover set the wheels in motion
Ooh, lover set the wheels in motion
Ooh, lover set the wheels in motion
In the heat of the moment I just lose control..

Performer(s): Eddy Paris Mitchell - 1985
Tu m'fais le coup de l'attaché de presse
Cigare, attaché case
Tu fais très star
Comment t'es devenu riche?
Tu brasses plus de vent que d'affaires
T'as pas le pétrole mais l'désert
Si t'es pas star, dis-moi
Comment t'es devenu riche?
Tes ardoises dans les restos
Me font froid dans le dos
Mais toi, tu saurais vendre un frigo
Même à un esquimau
T'as tous les looks chébran, macho
Mais j'peux pas tomber dans le panneau
Toi t'es pas star, alors
Comment t'es devenu riche?
Laisse moi deviner, t'es dans le porno?
Non, pirate en vidéo, non?
T'as rien d'une star, alors
Comment t'es devenu riche?
T'es pas dealer, t'es pas show-biz
Tu sais même pas ce que c'est la crise
T'es même pas star, alors
Comment t'es devenu riche?
Je crois qu'tu roules, qu'en t'es fait de trop
Avoue, t'as plus de boulot
Là, j'dois reconnaître que tu portes beau
Mais dis-moi, t'es mal dans ta peau
Moi, je n'en t'en veux pas, t'as essayé
Mais on ne peut pas toujours gagner
Oh, je n'achète rien, je ne suis pas riche
Et si je te mens alors là c'est moi qui triche
Les nouveaux pauvres ne sont pas d'anciens riches
