Romancing The Stone
Romancing The Stone
Composer(s): Eddy Grant
Performer(s): Eddy Grant
(Chorus)
I'm romancing the stone
never leaving your poor heart alone
Every night and every day gonna love the hurtin' away
I'm romancing the stone, never leaving your poor heart alone
Every night and every day gonna love the hurtin' away
Tonight, tonight I'm falling where the peaceful waters flow
Where the unicorn's the last one at the water hole
I have found a love so precious, like an emerald so bold
It's a firelight escaping from the jeweller's hold
(Chorus)
Oh and in the heat of rapture when I feel the cold winds blow
Through the broken glass, I'll see at last the sweet desire in you
I will climb up on my pulpit and I'll preach a sermon, you
On the mountain roads, in Harlem, feel my jeweller's hold
(Chorus)

Remember, my darling, the night that we met
Dancing the old Windsor waltz
I saw you, I loved you, I’ll never regret
Dancing the old Windsor waltz
You gave me your promise, I gave you my heart
Like two other lovers, we never will part
Though time passes by, we will never forget
Dancing the old Windsor waltz

Commotion
Commotion
((Finnish Version: Sekamelska (Kari Peitsamo Revival) - 1982))
Composer(s): J.C. Fogerty
First release by: Creedence Clearwater Revival - 1969
Traffic in the city turns my head around
No, no, no, no, no
Backed up on the freeway, backed up in the church
Ev'rywhere you look there's a frown, frown
Com, commotion
Git, git, git, gone
Com, commotion
Git, git, git, gone
People keep atalkin', they don't say a word
Jaw, jaw, jaw, jaw, jaw
Talk up in the White House, talk up to your door
So much goin' on I just can't hear
Com, commotion
Git, git, git, gone
Com, commotion
Git, git, git, gone
Hurryin' to get there so you save some time
Run, run, run, run, run
Rushin' to the treadmill, rushin' to get home
Worry 'bout the time you save, save
Com, commotion
Git, git, git, gone
Com, commotion
Git, git, git, gone

Though it's forbidden for my arms to hold you
And though it's forbidden, I tease myself towards you
That I hold you secretly each time we meet
In these forbidden games that I play
Though it's forbidden in dim quiet places
To capture the rainbows my aching heart chases
My bitter sweet esctasy, come to me
In these forbidden games that I play
Everyone knows you belong to another
Spinning your magic for him and no other
Still, I'll be content to be part of this fantasy
Part of this game that I play
Though it's forbidden and you love him now
I'll keep my love hidden and love you forever
Through countless eternity you will be mine
In these forbidden games that I play

The Winds Of Heaven
The Winds Of Heaven
Composer(s): Fran Landesman - Bob Dorough
Performer(s): The 5th Dimension
If the winds of heaven would only blow the door shut
I could keep you here for a little while
If the winds of heaven would only blow the light out
In the friendly dark, you'd begin to smile
If the winds of heaven would only blow you my way
I would hold you close for a little while
If the winds of heaven would only blow the roof off
You and I would fly half a million miles to a happy star
On the winds of heaven

Common Man

Ooh, hoo, hoo, oo, hoo, yeah
I have dreamed a dream of every common man
ahh, hoping to rise to the top
I have sworn by my blood, as your man, my love
That one day
i promised one day your heartache would stop
but I've never, never, never, never changed
I never changed one single grain of sand
ooh, thanks to ya baby (ha-ha)
for just lovin' a common man
I wanna thank you this evening, honey
ooh, I thought, I thought that I failed you so
but that's when you turned around
and looked me in my eyes
and you let me know
you said, and you said it softly
I didn't have to worry about being a common man, you said
David, you don't have to worry about rising to the top
you said, you said, you said I didn't have to swear by my blood
that oh baby, that one day your heartache would stop
then you put your arms around me, and you said
you never, never, never, never cared
if I never changed one single grain of sand
you said, I love you, baby (whoah)
I love you, for just being a common man
all my gratitude, just keep on growing
yeah, for recognizing me
I thank ya baby, yeah
for respecting me, yeah
I wanna thank ya, baby
for everytime we meet, oh
I thank ya, baby, oh
for my gratitude
for respecting me, baby
for just being a common man

for everytime we meet, I wanna thank ya, for respectin' me
everytime you love me
I wanna thank you for calming my trouble
oh, thank ya, baby
(woah) thank ya honey
for loving a common man
a common man like me

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

Comment Vas-Tu Mentir?
Comment Vas-Tu Mentir? - 1963 (aka Venez Tous Avec Moi - 1974)
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?
