Keep It A Secret
Keep It A Secret
Composer(s): Jessie Mae Robinson
First release by: Slim Whitman - 1952
Covered by multiple other artists
If you see my darlin' with somebody new
Keep it a secret whatever you do
Why should you tell me and break my poor heart
Then foolish pride would just drive us apart
If you see my darlin' in some rendezvous
Painting the town with a boy she once knew
Pay no attention and just let it be
But keep it a secret from me
If you see my darlin' in some rendezvous
Painting the town with a boy she once knew
Pay no attention and just let it be
But keep it a secret from me

Tulip Time In Sing Sing
Tulip Time In Sing Sing
Composer(s): Jerome Kern - P.G. Wodehouse
Performer(s): Merwin Goldsmith
Up the river there's a college
Which authorities acknowledge
Is a cosy sort of place to go and dwell
And with joy each student chortles
As he passes through its portals
And the faculty conducts him to his cell
How I wish that there I'd waited
Wish I'd never graduated
For the memory of those days still stirs me so
And the birdies every Spring sing
"Aren't you coming back to Sing Sing
Where you used to be so happy long ago"
When it's tulip time in Sing Sing
Oh, it's there that I would be
There are gentle hearts in Sing Sing
Watching and yearning for me
Oh, I wish that I was back
With a rock or two to crack
With my pals of the class of ninety-nine
And I miss the peace and quiet
And the simple, wholesome diet
Of that dear, old-fashioned prison of mine!
Oh, I'd give a lot to go there
Life was never dull or slow there
Every night there was a concert or a hop
Or I'd sit discussing Coué
With my old pal Bat-eared Louie,
Quite the nicest man who ever slugged a cop
We were just a band of brothers
Each as good as all the others
As the humblest sort of sneak thief you might rank,
But when you'd been there a week, well
You were treated as an equal
By the high and mighty swells who'd robbed a bank
When it's tulip time in Sing Sing
Oh, it's there that I would be
There are gentle hearts in Sing Sing
Watching and yearning for me
Oh, there's no place like home
And I'm tired of having to roam
Through the world with its women and its wine
So just bob my hair and shove me
Where I know the warders love me
In that dear old-fashioned prison of mine!

I Was Warned
I Was Warned
Composer(s): Robert Cray; Dennis Walker
Performer(s): Robert Cray
Oh, I was warned about her love
But like a fool I went on
Whether they're right or wrong
At least the mystery is gone
The more people talked about her
The more I had to see
I had to find out for myself
What could she do for me
Her lips were so inviting
Her hands soft to touch
After just one kiss
I knew I was out of luck
From then on I was hers to control
And knowing that, she robbed me
Of my heart and robbed me of my soul
Oh I was warned about her love
And I'll have to stay strong
Whether they're right or wrong
At least the mystery is gone
From then on I was hers to control
And knowing that she robbed me of my heart
And robbed me of my soul, yeah
Oh I was warned about her love
But like a fool I went on
Whether they're right or wrong
At least the mystery is gone
She had a left hand filled with diamonds
And the other filled with lies
She saw right through me
There was no p[lace to hide
Now I've finally learned my lesson
But you'll never tell
the pain her love left me
I hide so well
I go on day by day in fear
And knowing that I'll never, never love again
Only brings tears
Oh I was warned about her love
And I'll have to stay strong
Whether they're right or they're wrong
At least the mystery is gone
Whether they're right or wrong
At least the mystery is gone
I was warned about her love

Composer(s): Chuck Berry - Eugene West
First release: Chuck Berry - 1970
Covered by multiple other artists
Tulane and Johnny opened a novelty shop
Back under the counter, was the cream of the crop
Everything was clickin' and the business was good
'Til one day, lo and behold, an officer stood
Johnny jumped the counter but he stumbled and fell
But Tulane made it over Johnny as he yelled
Go ahead on, Tulane, he can't catch up with you
Go Tulane, he ain't man enough for you
Go Tulane, use all the speed you got
Go Tulane, you know you need a lot
Go Tulane, he's laggin' behind
Go 'head on, Tulane go head on
Go by your father's house and tell him business is slow
And see if he will loan us something, soon as he hits the dough
Put the cat out in the hall and rumple up the room
Go by Doctor Keller's, tell him you swallowed some perfume
Tell him we need him quick, 'cuz he may have to testify
That you been sick all day and that's a perfect alibi
Go ahead on, Tulane, he can't catch up with you
Go Tulane, he ain't man enough for you
Go Tulane, use all the speed you got
Go Tulane, you know you need a lot
Go Tulane, he's laggin' behind
Go 'head on, Tulane go head on
Go, let Danny drive in case you run into the Man
Back by the shop and git the stuff and hide it in the van
Go back by your father's, get the money for the bail
And bring it down and bail me out this rotten, funky jail
We gotta get a lawyer in the click of politics
Somebody who can win the thing or get the thing fix
Go ahead on, Tulane, he can't catch up with you
Go Tulane, he ain't man enough for you
Go Tulane, use all the speed you got
Go Tulane, you know you need a lot
Go Tulane, he's laggin' behind
Go 'head on, Tulane go head on
Go Tulane

I Was Seeing Nellie Home
I Was Seeing Nellie Home (aka "When I Saw Sweet Nellie Home" or "Aunt Dinah's Quilting Party"
Composer(s): John Fletcher; Frances Kyle
Performer(s): The Sons Of The Pioneers
and multiple other artists
In the sky the bright stars glittered
On the grass the moonlight fell
Hush'd the sound of daylight bustle
Closed the pink eyed pimpernell
As adown the moss grown wood path
Where the cattle love to roam
From an august evening party
I was seeing Nellie home
In the sky the bright stars glittered
On the grass the moonlight shone
From an august evening party
I was seeing Nellie home
When the autumn tinged the greenwood
Turning all its leaves to the gold
In the lawn by elders shaded
I my love to Nellie told
As we stood together gazing
On the star bespangled dome
How I blessed the august evening
When I saw sweet Nellie home
In the sky the bright stars glittered
On the grass the moonlight shone
From an august evening party
I was seeing Nellie home
White hairs mingled with my tresses
Furrows steal upon my brow
But a love smile cheers and blesses
Life's declining moments now
Matron in the snowy kerchief
Closer to my bosom come
Tell me do'st thou still remember
When I saw sweet Nellie home
In the sky the bright stars glittered
On the grass the moonlight shone
From an august evening party
I was seeing Nellie home

El Necio
Composer(s): Silvio Rodríguez
Performer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute
and multiple other artists
Para no hacer de mi ícono pedazos
para salvarme entre únicos e impares
para cederme un lugar en su Parnaso
para darme un rinconcito en sus altares
me vienen a convidar a arrepentirme
me vienen a convidar a que no pierda
mi vienen a convidar a indefinirme
me vienen a convidar a tanta mierda
Yo no se lo que es el destino
caminando fui lo que fui
Allá Dios, que será divino
Yo me muero como viví
Yo quiero seguir jugando a lo perdido
yo quiero ser a la zurda más que diestro
yo quiero hacer un congreso del unido
yo quiero rezar a fondo un hijonuestro
Dirán que pasó de moda la locura
dirán que la gente es mala y no merece
más yo seguiré soñando travesuras
(acaso multiplicar panes y peces)
Yo no se lo que es el destino
caminando fui lo que fui
Allá Dios, que será divino
Yo me muero como viví
Dicen que me arrastrarán po sobre rocas
cuando la Revolución se venga abajo
que machacarán mis manos y mi boca
que me arrancarán los ojos y el badajo
Será que la necedad parió conmigo
la necedad de lo que hoy result anecio
la necedad de asumir al enemigo
la necedad de vivir sin tener precio
Yo no se lo que es el destino
caminando fui lo que fui
Allá Dios, que será divino
Yo me muero como viví

I Was Only Joking
I Was Only Joking
Composer(s): Rod Stewart; Gary Grainger
Performer(s): Rod Stewart
and multiple other artists
Ever since I was a kid at school
I messed around with all the rules
Apologised then realised
I'm not different after all
Me and the boys thought we had it sussed
Valentinos all of us
My dad said we looked ridiculous
But boy we broke some hearts
In and out of jobs, running free
Waging war with society
Dumb blank faces stare back at me
But nothing ever changed
Promises made in the heat of the night
Creeping home before it got too light
I wasted all that precious time
and blamed it on the wine
I was only joking my dear
Looking for a way to hide my fear
What kind of fool was I
I could never win
Never found a compromise
Collected lovers like butterflies
Illusions of that grand first prize
are slowly wearing thin
Susy baby you were good to me
Giving love unselfishly
But you took it all too seriously
I guess it had to end
I was only joking my dear
Looking for a way to hide my fear
What kind of fool was I
I could never win
Now you ask me if I'm sincere
That's the question that I always fear
Verse seven is never clear
But I'll tell you what you want to hear
I try to give you all you want
But giving love is not my strongest point
If that's the case it's pointless going on
I'd rather be alone
'Cause what I'm doing must be wrong
Pouring my heart out in a song
Owning up for prosperity
For the whole damn world to see
Quietly now while I turn a page
Act one is over without costume change
The principal would like to leave the stage
The crowd don't understand

El Mundo Contra Mi
El Mundo Contra Mi
Composer(s): Fabiana Cantilo - Pedro Aznar
Performer(s): Pedro Aznar
Tuve amor pero siempre a destiempo
Nunca vi esa estrella fugaz
Al pedir tres deseos al viento
Reviví en tu amor que se va
Si morir es cobarde o valiente
Decidí que en mis manos está
Junto a mí vive toda esa gente
Sin vivir sin morir siempre así
Aunque el mundo esté contra mí
Y nadie me enseñe a vivir
Tengo sangre en las venas
Que arde más que esta pena de amor
Aunque el mundo esté contra mí
Y los tiempos vengan así
No estoy viva por nada
Hoy mis alas atadas abrí
Yo no quiero volverme tu igual
Ni saber si estoy bien o estoy mal
No soy de estos tiempos, soy de este momento
Soy la lluvia que lava este mar
Aunque el mundo esté contra mí
En mi amor aprendo a vivir
Ya cambió la marea
Y mis pies son la huella del sol

Tuff Enuff
Tuff Enuff
Composer(s): Kim Wilson
Performer(s): The Fabulous Thunderbirds
I would walk ten miles on my hands and knees
Ain't no doubt about it baby it's you I aim to please
I'd wrestle with a lion and a grizzly bear
It's my life baby but I don't care
Ain't that tuff enuff
Ain't that tuff enuff
Ain't that tuff enuff
Ain't that tuff enuff
For you baby I would swim the sea
Nothing I'd do for you that's too tuff for me
I'd put out a burning building with a shovel and dirt
And not even worry about getting hurt
Ain't that tuff enuff
Ain't that tuff enuff
Ain't that tuff enuff
Ain't that tuff enuff
I'd work twenty four hours, seven days a week
Just so I could come home and kiss your cheek
I love you in the morning and I love you at noon
I love you in the night and take you to the moon
Ain't that tuff enuff
Ain't that tuff enuff
Ain't that tuff enuff
Ain't that tuff enuff
I'd lay in a pile of burning money that I've earned
and not even worry about getting burned
I'd climb the Empire State Building, fight Muhammad Ali
Just to have you baby close to me
Ain't that tuff enuff
Ain't that tuff enuff
Ain't that tuff enuff
Ain't that tuff enuff
Ain't that tuff enuff
Ain't that tuff enuff
Ain't that tuff enuff
Ain't that tuff enuff

I Was Only 19 (A Walk In the Light Green)
I Was Only 19 (A Walk In the Light Green)
Composer(s): John Schumann
First release by: Redgum - 1983
Mum and Dad and Denny saw the passing-out parade at Puckapunyal
It was a long march from cadets
The sixth battalion was the next to tour, and it was me who drew the card
We did Canungra, Shoalwater before we left
And Townsville lined the footpaths as we marched down to the quay
This clipping from the paper shows us young and strong and clean
And there's me in my slouch hat with my SLR and greens
God help me, I was only nineteen
From Vung Tau, riding Chinooks, to the dust at Nui Dat
I'd been in and out of choppers now for months
But we made our tents a home, VB and pinups on the lockers
And an Asian orange sunset through the scrub
And can you tell me, doctor, why I stil can't get to sleep?
And night-time's just a jungle dark and a barking M16?
And what's this rash that comes and goes, can you tell me what it means?
God help me, I was only nineteen
A four week operation when each step could mean your last one on two legs
It was a war within yourself
But you wouldn't let your mates down til they had you dusted off
So you closed your eyes and thought about something else
Then someone yelled "Contact!" and the bloke behind me swore
We hooked in there for hours, then a Godalmighty roar
Frankie kicked a mine the day that mankind kicked the moon
God help me, he was going home in June
I can still see Frankie, drinking tinnies in the Grand Hotel
On a thirty-six hour rec leave in Vung Tau
And I can still hear Frankie, lying screaming in the jungle
Til the morphine came and killed the bloody row
And the Anzac legends didn't mention mud and blood and tears
And the stories that my father told me never seemed quite real
I caught some pieces in my back that I didn't even feel
God help me, I was only nineteen
And can you tell me, doctor, why I still can't get to sleep?
And why the Channel Seven chopper chills me to my feet?
And what's this rash that comes and goes, can you tell me what it means?
God help me, I was only nineteen

No, en esta noche ya no pienso amor en ti
abrí los ojos solamente para ver
si en torno a mí giraba el mundo como siempre
Gira el mundo gira en su espacio infinito
con amores que comienzan con amores que terminan
con las penas y alegrías de otras gentes como yo
El mundo, por eso ahora yo te miro
y en tu silencio yo me pierdo
y no soy nada al verte a ti
El mundo que no ha parado ni un momento
su noche muere y viene el día y ese día verá
El mundo, por eso ahora yo te miro
y en tu silencio yo me pierdo
y no soy nada al verte a ti
El mundo que no ha parado ni un momento
su noche muere y viene el día y ese día verá

Train roll on, on down the line
Won't you please take me far away?
Now I feel the wind blow outside my door
Means I'm leaving my woman behind
Tuesday's gone with the wind
My woman's gone with the wind
And I don't know where I'm going
I just want to be left alone
Well, when this train ends I'll try again
But I'm leaving my woman at home
Tuesday's gone with the wind
Tuesday's gone with the wind
Tuesday's gone with the wind
My woman's gone with the wind
Train roll on many miles from my home
See, I'm riding my blues away
Tuesday, you see, she had to be free
But somehow I've got to carry on
Tuesday's gone with the wind
Tuesday's gone with the wind
Tuesday's gone with the wind
My woman's gone with the wind

First release by: Stevie Wonder - 1967
Covered by multiple other artists
I was born in Lil' Rock
Had a childhood sweetheart
We were always hand in hand
I was hightop shoes and shirt tails
Suzy was in pig tails
I know I loved her even then
You know my papa disapproved it
My mama boohooed it
But I told them time and time again
"Don't you know I was made to love her
Built a world all around her"
Yah! Hey, hey, hey
She's been my inspiration
Showed appreciation
For the love I gave her through the years
Like a sweet magnolia tree
My love blossmed tenderly
My life grew sweeter through the years
I know that my baby loves me
My baby needs me
That's why we made it through the years
I was made to love her
Worship and adore her
Hey, hey, hey
All through thick and thin
Our love just won't end
'Cause I love my baby, love my baby
Ah!
My baby loves me
My baby needs me
And I know I ain't going nowhere
I was knee high to a chicken
When that love bug bit me
I had the fever with each passing year
Oh, even if the mountain tumbles
If this whole world crumbles
By her side I'll still be standing there
'Cause I was made to love her
I was made to live for her, yeah!
Ah, I was made to love her
Built my world all around her
Hey, hey, hey
Oo baby, I was made to please her
You know Stevie ain't gonna leave her, no
Hey, hey, hey
Oo wee baby, my baby loves me
My baby needs me
Hey, hey, hey
OO my baby loves me...

Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez
and multiple other artists
El hombre se hizo siempre
de todo material
de villas señoriales
o barrio margina
Toda época fue pieza
de un rompecabezas
para subir la cuesta del gran reino animal
con una mano negra
y otra blanca mortal
Mortales ingredientes
armaron al Mayor
luz de terratenientes
y de Revolución
destreza de la esgrima
sucesos como un preso
Amalia abandonada
por la bala
la vergüenza, el amor
o un fusilamiento
un viejo cuento
modelaron su adiós
Va cabalgando
El Mayor con su herida
y mientras más mortal el tajo
es más de vida
Va cabalgando
sobre una palma escrita
y a la distancia de cien años
resucita
Trota sobre la espuma
seguido por un mar
de negros en machete
y sin encadenar
Ordena a su corneta
el toque de a degüello
y a un siglo de distancia
entona nuestra canción
y con recia garganta
canta
espanta
lejos la maldición
Va cabalgando
El Mayor con su herida
y mientras más mortal el tajo
es más de vida
Va cabalgando
sobre una palma escrita
y a la distancia de cien años
resucita

Tuesday heartbreak seem to be unfair
Cause you say that you found another man
Tuesday break heart, guess you just don't care
Cause you found you another man
I want to be with you when you're all alone
I want to be with you
when you feel you got another man
You see, baby, it's all alright
I wanna be with you when the nightime comes
I wanna be with you when the daytime comes
I wanna stay, oh baby, lemme, baby with you
Tuesday heartbreak seem to be a drag
When you know that you love her especially
Catch up baby, catch up with my dreams
Maybe than I can see you all the time
But I wanna be with you when the nightime comes
I wanna be with you when the daytime comes
I wanna stay and never go away
Oh baby, it's alright
I wanna be with you when the nightime comes
I wanna stay with you till the morning runs
I wanna, baby, baby, baby, it's alright
I wanna be with you when the nightime comes
I wanna be with you till the daytime comes
Oh baby, get away, alright

I Was Brought To My Senses
I Was Brought To My Senses
Composer(s): Sting
Performer(s): Sting; The MadHatters; Abigail Riccards
Alone with my thoughts this evening
I walked on the banks of Tyne
I wondered how I can win you
or if I could make you mine
or if I could make you mine
The wind it was so insistent
With tales of a stormy south
But when I spied two birds in a sycamore tree
There came a dryness in my mouth
Came a dryness in my mouth
For then without rhyme or reason
The two birds did rise up and fly
And where the two birds were flying
I swear I saw you and I
I swear I saw you and I
I walked out this morning
it was like a veil had been removed from before my eyes
For the first time I saw the work of heaven
in the line where the hills had been married to the sky
And all around me
ev'ry blade of singing grass
was calling out your name
and that our love would always last
And inside ev'ry turning leaf
is the pattern of an older tree
the shape of our future
the shape of all our history
And out of the confusion
where the river meets the sea
came things I'd never seen
things I'd never seen
I was brought to my senses
I was blind now that I can see
ev'ry signpost in nature
said you be...
...long to me
I know it's true
It's written in a sky as blue
As blue as your eyes, as blue as your eyes
If nature's red in tooth and claw
Like winter's freeze and summer's thaw
The wounds she gave me
Were the wounds that would heal me
And we'd be like the moon and sun
And when our courtly dance had run
it's course across the sky
Then together we would lie
And out of the confusion
where the river meets the sea
Something new would arrive
Something better would arrive
I was brought to my senses
I was blind now that I can see
ev'ry signpost in nature
said you belong to
I was brought to my senses
I was blind now that I can see
ev'ry signpost in nature
said you belong to
I was brought to my senses
I was blind now that I can see
ev'ry signpost in nature
said you belong to me
