Eclipse Total Del Amor

Mírame
De vez en cuando siento que me estas olvidando
Y que no regresaras
Mírame
De vez en cuando pienso que ya estoy muy cansada
De estar sola y de escucharme llorar
Mírame
De vez en cuando miro atrás y veo con miedo
Lo mejor de nuestro años correr
Mírame
De vez en cuando quiero escaparme y tu mirada
Me envuelve y me vuelvo a perder
Mira mis ojos
De vez en cuando siento enloquecer
Mira mis ojos
De vez en cuando siento enloquecer

Mírame
De vez en cuando sueño con alguna locura
Y no quiero despertar
Mírame
De vez en cuando miento cuando buscas mis ojos
Y preguntas ¿cómo estas?
Mírame
De vez en cuando muero de rabia y de celos
Pero nunca te lo dejo saber
Mírame
De vez en cuando quiero escaparme y tu mirada
Me envuelve y me vuelvo a perder
Mira mis ojos
De vez en cuando siento enloquecer
Mira mis ojos
De vez en cuando siento enloquecer

Y esta noche quiero más
Que me abraces fuertemente
En tus brazos soñare
Que el amor es para siempre
Que penumbres un rayo de luz
Nos envuelva a los dos
Vivimos atrapados en juego de azar
Tu amor es una sombra
Para mi libertad (mi libertad)
Ya nada puedo hacer
Y no logro escapar
De un juego sobre pólvora
Que puede estallar

Y así te tengo que amar
El tiempo acaba de empezar
El tiempo no termina...

Erase una vez una historia feliz
Y ahora solo un cuento de horror

No hay nada que decir
Eclipse total del amor

Mírame
De vez en cuando siento que me estas olvidando
Y que no regresaras
Mírame
De vez en cuando pienso que ya estoy muy cansada
De estar sola y de escucharme llorar
Mírame
De vez en cuando miro atrás y veo con miedo
Lo mejor de nuestro años correr
Mírame
De vez en cuando quiero escaparme y tu mirada
Me envuelve y me vuelvo a perder

De vez en cuando siento enloquecer

De vez en cuando siento enloquecer

Erase una vez una hazaña vivir
Y ahora ya no tengo valor

Nada que decir
Eclipse total del amor

Mira mis ojos
De vez en cuando siento enloquecer
Mira mis ojos
De vez en cuando siento enloquecer

Erase una vez una hazaña vivir
Y ahora ya no tengo valor

Nada que decir, Eclipse total del amor
Nada que decir, Eclipse total del amor
Nada que decir, Eclipse total del amor

I Like Mountain Music


I Like Mountain Music
Composer(s): Frank Weldon; James Cavanaugh
Performer(s): Hoosier Hot Shots
and multiple other artists



When the Sun goes down and the chores are through
There ain't nothin' better I like to do
Than sit around the house when the folks ain't home
And listen to the music on a gramophone

I like mountain music, good old mountain music
Played by a real hillbilly band
Give me rural rhythm, let me sway right with 'em
I think the melodies are grand

I have heard Hawaiians play in the land of the wicki-wacki
But I must say you can't beat "Turkey in the straw", by cracky!
I like mountain music, good old mountain music
Played by a real hillbilly band

To the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee
Came a hula girl from over the sea
With sparkling eyes, lips so red
She looked at me and then she said

I like mountain music, good old mountain music
Played by a real hillbilly band
Give me rural rhythm, let me sway right with 'em
I think the melodies are grand

I have heard Hawaiians play in the land of the wicki-wacki
But I must say you can't beat "Turkey in the straw", by cracky!
I like mountain music, good old mountain music
Played by a real hillbilly band

Her flashy clothes are really neat
Flowing hair and dancing feet
When she does the hula, she can drive you wild
Swingin' and swayin' in the mountain style

I like mountain music, good old mountain music
Played by a real hillbilly band
Give me rural rhythm, let me sway right with 'em
I think the melodies are grand

I have heard Hawaiians play in the land of the wicki-wacki
But I must say you can't beat "Turkey in the straw", by cracky!
I like mountain music, good old mountain music
Played by a real hillbilly band

While the fiddles play and the guitars ring
The people laugh, you can hear them sing
This hula girl can swing and sway
You can hear her shout to the break of day

I like mountain music, good old mountain music
Played by a real hillbilly band
Give me rural rhythm, let me sway right with 'em
I think the melodies are grand

I have heard Hawaiians play in the land of the wicki-wacki
But I must say you can't beat "Turkey in the straw", by cracky!
I like mountain music, good old mountain music
Played by a real hillbilly band

Junk Food Junkie


Junk Food Junkie
Composer(s): Larry Groce
Performer(s): Larry Groce



You know I love that organic cooking
I always ask for more
And they call me Mr. Natural
On down to the health food store
I only eat good sea salt
White sugar don't touch my lips
And my friends is always
Begging me to take them
On macrobiotic trips
Yes, they are
Oh, but at night I stake out my strongbox
That I keep under lock and key
And I take it off to my closet
Where nobody else can see
I open that door so slowly
Take a peek up north and south
Then I pull out a Hostess Twinkie
And I pop it in my mouth
Yeah, in the daytime I'm Mr. Natural
Just as healthy as I can be
But at night I'm a junk food junkie
Good lord have pity on me
Well, at lunchtime
You can always find me
At the Whole Earth Vitamin Bar
Just sucking on my plain white yogurt
From my hand thrown pottery jar
And sippin' a little hand pressed cider
With a carrot stick for dessert
And wiping my face
In a natural way
On the sleeve of my peasant shirt
Oh yeah
Ah, but when that clock strikes midnight
And I'm all by myself
I work that combination
On my secret hideaway shelf
And I pull out some Fritos corn chips
Dr. Pepper and an Ole Moon Pie
Then I sit back in glorious expectation
Of a genuine junk food high
Oh yeah, in the daytime I'm Mr. Natural
Just as healthy as I can be
But at night I'm a junk food junkie
Good lord have pity on me
My friends down at the commune
They think I'm pretty neat
Oh, I don't know nothing about arts and crafts
But I give 'em all something to eat
I'm a friend to old Euell Gibbons
And I only eat homegrown spice
I got a John Keats autographed Grecian urn
Filled up with my brown rice
Yes, I do
Oh, but folks lately I have been spotted
With a Big Mac on my breath
Stumbling into a Colonel Sanders
With a face as white as death
I'm afraid someday they'll find me
Just stretched out on my bed
With a handful of Pringles Potato Chips
And a Ding Dong by my head
In the daytime I'm Mr. Natural
Just as healthy as I can be
But at night I'm a junk food junkie
Good lord have pity on me

(Turn around)
Every now and then I get a little bit lonely and you're never comin' 'round
(Turn around)
Every now and then I get a little bit tired of listening to the sound of my tears
(Turn around)
Every now and then I get a little bit nervous that the best of all the years have gone by
(Turn around)
Every now and then I get a little bit terrified and then I see the look in your eyes
(Turn around, bright eyes)
Every now and then I fall apart
(Turn around, bright eyes)
Every now and then I fall apart

(Turn around)
Every now and then I get a little bit restless and I dream of something wild
(Turn around)
Every now and then I get a little bit helpless and I'm lyin' like a child in your arms
(Turn around)
Every now and then I get a little bit angry and I know I've got to get out and cry
(Turn around)
Every now and then I get a little bit terrified but then I see the look in your eyes
(Turn around, bright eyes)
Every now and then I fall apart
(Turn around, bright eyes)
Every now and then I fall apart

And I need you now tonight, and I need you more than ever
And if you'll only hold me tight, we'll be holding on forever
And we'll only be making it right, 'cause we'll never be wrong
Together we can take it to the end of the line
Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time (all of the time)
I don't know what to do and I'm always in the dark
We're livin' in a powder keg and givin' off sparks

I really need you tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight

Once upon a time I was falling in love but now I'm only falling apart
There's nothing I can do, a total eclipse of the heart
Once upon a time there was light in my life but now there's only love in the dark
Nothing I can say, a total eclipse of the heart

(Turn around, bright eyes)
(Turn around, bright eyes)

(Turn around)
Every now and then I know you'll never be the boy you always wanted to be
(Turn around)
But every now and then I know you'll always be the only boy who wanted me the way that I am
(Turn around)
Every now and then I know there's no one in the universe as magical and wondrous as you
(Turn around)
Every now and then I know there's nothing any better, there's nothing that I just wouldn't do
(Turn around, bright eyes)
Every now and then I fall apart
(Turn around, bright eyes)
Every now and then I fall apart

And I need you now tonight, and I need you more than ever
And if you'll only hold me tight, we'll be holding on forever
And we'll only be making it right, 'cause we'll never be wrong
Together we can take it to the end of the line
Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time (all of the time)
I don't know what to do, I'm always in the dark
We're livin' in a powder keg and givin' off sparks

I really need you tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight

Once upon a time I was falling in love but now I'm only falling apart
Nothing I can do, a total eclipse of the heart
Once upon a time there was light in my life but now there's only love in the dark
Nothing I can say, a total eclipse of the heart
A total eclipse of the heart
A total eclipse of the heart
(Turn around, bright eyes)
(Turn around, bright eyes, turn around)

I Like Men!


I Like Men!
Composer(s): Peggy Lee; Jack Marshall
Performer(s): Peggy Lee



Maybe he has sandy hair
Or maybe his eyes are brown or blue
Maybe he has a fault or two
But I like men

Maybe he's a millionaire or maybe he's poor
I just don't care
Why he can even lose his hair
'Cause I like men

I like the masculine
I like the mind
I like any other kind that I can find

So the way I feel
It's not hard to decide
I'll take Southern hospitality or Northern Pride
And if has a gentle way
Then maybe he'll make me feel so frail
Well that's my favorite kind of male
'Cause I like men

Junk Food


Junk Food
Composer(s): Aaron Carthen Reed
Performer(s): Aaron Carthen Reed



Ridin' down a highway in my ragged Greyhound bus
Wanted to buy me some food but my money didn't have enough
No time for foolin' around I had to go an' do a show
So I edged it off the highway at a 7-11 store

I bought junk food
I bought me some junk food
I bought some junk food
I bought some junk food
I bought me some junk food, junk food
Lord, Lord, Lord

I bought a long hot dog
Wasn't no steak dinner but I ate just the same
Wasn't no hamburger, I didn't stop at Burger King
It wasn't no Fat Mac, and it wasn't no barbecue
It wasn't no collard greens, I tell ya but plain old junk food

I was eatin' junk food
I was eatin' this junk food
I was eatin' some junk food
I was eatin' this junk food
I was eatin' junk food, junk food
Lord, Lord, Lord

I ate a foot long dog

I hate this junk food
It's bad for my health
But I'm playin' these lousy blues
An' I can't afford nothin' else
Never made too much money
So that's all I've got to eat
Them Polish hot dog and I buy 'em on Maxwell Street1

Got to eat junk food
I got to eat junk food
I got to eat junk food
I got to eat junk food
I got to eat junk food, junk food
Woo Woo Wee

Talkin' 'bout bologna an' cheese
I've got to eat junk food

I've got to eat junk food
I've got to eat junk food
I've got to eat junk food
I've got to eat junk food
I've got to eat junk food
I've got to eat junk food
I've got to eat junk food

Tôt Ou Tard S'en Aller


Tôt Ou Tard S'en Aller
Composer(s): Francis Cabrel
Performer(s): Francis Cabrel



Tôt ou tard s'en aller
Par les ruisseaux devant nous
Jusqu'au milieu d'une mer quelconque
Sur le pont brisé d'une jonque
On va tôt ou tard s'en aller
Quelques vestes froissées
Quelques cartons en morceaux
Dans les brouillards huileux de la nuit
Juste nos corps frileux endormis
Sur quelques vestes froissées
J'avais des rêves pourtant
J'avais des rêves
J'avais des rêves pourtant
Voir les trains s'éloigner
Les plafonds chargés de bijoux
Et tous ces gens attablés, heureux
Et nous, sur les bas-côtés, fiévreux
De voir les trains s'éloigner
Quelquefois les enfants demandent
Comment fait-on pour finir ici
Sans doute, je dormais sur une feuille
Et l'automne m'a surpris!
J'avais des rêves pourtant
J'avais des rêves
J'avais des rêves pourtant
Mais tôt ou tard s'en aller
Par les ruisseaux devant nous
Jusqu'au milieu d'une mer quelconque
Sur le pont brisé d'une jonque
On va tôt ou tard s'en aller
Tôt ou tard s'en aller
Tôt ou tard s'en aller

Tossing And Turning


Tossing And Turning
Composer(s): John Carter - Ken Lewis - Perry Ford
First release: The Ivy League - 1965

Versions In Other Languages:
1965 - Öisin Vain Valvon (Johnny & The Sounds)
1967 - Anche Se Mi Vuoi (Le Anime)



I can't sleep at night, tossing and turning
I turn on the light, then while it's burning
I think of all the things that we do
And all the reasons why I love you
Tossing and turning
Ah tossing and turning all night

In my memory there is confusion
Was that you and me or an illusion?
Was I really holding you tight?
Did I really kiss you goodnight?
Tossing and turning
Ah tossing and turning all night

What you're gonna do at night
Nobody to hold you tight are you're lonely
Don't you know that I get lonely too
And I'm blaming you

When we meet again, maybe tomorrow
You will smile and then goodbye the sorrow
We'll be lovers just as before
I guess I'll never sleep anymore
Tossing and turning
Ah tossing and turning all night

I Like It


I Like It
Composer(s): Mitch Murray
First release by: Gerry & The Pacemakers - 1963



I like it, I like it
I like the way you run your fingers through my hair
And I like the way you tickle my chin
And I like the way you let me come in
When your mama ain't there

I like it, I like it
I like the words you say and all the things you do
And I like the way you straighten my tie
And I like the way you're winkin' your eye
And I know I like you
You know I like you

Do that again
You're driving me insane
Kiss me once more
That's another thing I like you for

I like it, I like it
I like the funny feeling being here with you
And I like it more with every day
And I like it always hearing you say
You're likin' it too
You're likin' it too

I'm askin' you
What do you wanna do
Do you agree
That the world was made for you and me

I like it, I like it
I like the funny feeling being here with you
And I like it more with every day
And I like it always hearing you say
You're likin' it too
You're likin' it too
Whoa-oh, I like it
Are you likin' it too

I Like Dreamin'


I Like Dreamin'
Composer(s): Bob Crewe; Kenny Nolan
Performer(s): Kenny Nolan



I like dreamin' 'cause dreamin' can make you mine
I like dreamin', closing my eyes and feeling fine
When the lights go down, I'm holding you so tight
Got you in my arms and it's paradise 'til the morning light

I see us on the shore beneath the bright sunshine
We've walked along St. Thomas beach a million times
Hand in hand, two barefoot lovers kissing in the sand
Side by side, the tide rolls in
I'm touching you, you're touching me
If only it could be

I like dreamin' 'cause dreamin' can make you mine
I like dreamin', closing my eyes and feeling fine
When the lights go down, I'm holding you so tight
Got you in my arms and it's paradise 'til the morning light

Through each dream how our love has grown
I see us with our children and our happy home
Little smiles, so warm and tender looking up at us
Blessed by love, the world we share
Until I wake and reach for you
And you're just not there

I like dreamin' 'cause dreaming can make you mine
I like holding you close and touching your skin
Even if it's in my mind
Oh, sweet dream baby, I love you
Oh, my sweet dream baby, you're in my dreams every night

Junior's Farm


Junior's Farm
Composer(s): Paul McCartney; Linda McCartney
Performer(s): Paul McCartney & Wings;
Galactic Cowboys; Lee Harvey Oswald Band; The Wynners



You should have seen me with the poker man
I had a honey and I bet a grand
Just in the nick of time I looked at his hand
I was talking to an Eskimo
Said he was hoping for a fall of snow
When up popped a sea lion ready to go

Chorus
Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go
Down to Junior's Farm where I wanna lay low
Low life, high life, oh let's go
Take me down to Junior's Farm

At the Houses of Parliament
Ev'rybody's talking 'bout the President
We all chip in for a bag of cement
Ollie Hardy should have had more sense
He bought a gee-gee and he jumped the fence
All for the sake of a couple of pence

Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go
Down to Junior's Farm where I wanna lay low
Low life, high life, oh let's go
Take me down to Junior's Farm
Let's go, let's go
Down to Junior's Farm where I wanna lay low
Low life, high life, oh let's go
Take me down to Junior's Farm
Everybody tag along

I took my bag into a grocer's store
The price is higher than the time before
Old man asked me "Why is it more?"
I said "You should have seem me with the poker man
I had a honey and I bet a grand
Just in the nick of time I looked at his hand

Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go
Down to Junior's Farm where I wanna lay low
Low life, high life, oh let's go
Take me down to Junior's Farm

Let's go, let's go
Down to Junior's Farm where I wanna lay low
Low life, high life, oh let's go
Take me down to Junior's Farm
Everybody tag along
Take me down to Junior's Farm

Take me back, take me back
I wanna go there...

Composer(s): Richie Adams - Malou Rene
First release: Bobby Lewis - 1961
Covered by multiple other artists



Baby, Baby
You did something to me...

I couldn't sleep at all last night
Just a thinking of you...
Baby things weren't right
Well I was tossin' and turning
Turning and tossin'
Toss and turn all night...

I kicked the blankets on the floor
Turned my pillow upside down...
I never never did before...
Because I was tossin' and turning
Turning and tossin'
Toss and turn all night...

Jumped out of bed...
Turned on the light
Pulled down the shade
Went to the kitchen for a bite...

Rolled up the shade
Turned off the light
I jumped back into bed
It was the middle of the night...

The clock downstairs was striking 4
Couldn't get you off my mind...
I heard the milkman at the door...
'Cause I was tossin' and turning
Turning and tossin'
Toss and turn all night...

Jumped out of bed...
Turned on the light
Pulled down the shade
Went to the kitchen for a bite...

Rolled up the shade
Turned off the light
I jumped back into bed
It was the middle of the night...

The clock downstairs was striking 4
Couldn't get you off my mind...
I heard the milkman at the door...
'Cause I was tossin' and turning
Turning and tossin'
Toss and turn all night...

Junior Prom


Junior Prom
Composer(s): Steve Allen
Performer(s): Joni James; Steve Allen



Waltz me around with my feet off the ground at the junior prom
While we are swaying the orchestra's playing our song
Hold me politely but ever so tightly while lights are low
I can't recall a more wonderful prom with a ball

Moments so sweet we can never repeat at a junior prom
And while we dance we may find there's romance in the air
Dad will be mad if he finds that I'm getting with every Dick, Harry or Tom
But gee it's a wonderful world at the junior prom

Waltz me around with my feet off the ground at the junior prom
And while we dance we may find there's romance in the air
Dad will be mad if he finds that I'm getting with every Dick, Harry or Tom
But gee it's a wonderful world at the junior prom
At the junior prom

Torture (The Jacksons)


Torture
Composer(s): Jackie Jackson - Kathy Wakefield
Performer(s): The Jacksons



It was on the street so evil
So bad that even Hell disowned it!
Every single step was trouble
For the fool who stumbled on it
Eyes within the dark were watchin'
I felt that sudden chill of danger
Something told me to keep on walkin'
Told me I should not have gone there

Baby, because you cut me like a knife
Without your love in my life
I'm out, I'm walkin' the night
'cause I just canmt stop this feelin'
It's torture, it's torture, it's torture

She was up a stair to nowhere
A room forever I'll remember
She said as though I should have known her
Tell me, what's your pain or pleasure?
Every little thing you find here
Is simply for the thrill you're after
Loneliness or hearts on fire
I am here to serve all masters

She said Reality is a knife
When there's no love in your life
Unmerciful is the night
When you just can't stop this feelin'
It's torture, it's torture, it's torture

And I still can't find the meaning, no!
No, no--ooh!--of the face I keep on seeing
Was she real or am I dreaming?
Did the sound of your name turn a wheel
Strike a flame in me?
A-hooo-hoo!

Baby, because you cut me like a knife
Without your love in my life
I'm out, I'm walkin' the night
And I just can't stop this feeling!
It's torture, it's torture, it's torture

She said Reality is a knife
When there's no love in your life
Unmerciful is the night
When you just can't stop this feelin'
It's torture, it's torture, it's torture

Will you call my name?
It's torture!
Spread it from a flame
It's torture!
Will you call my name?
It's torture!
Hey...

I Like Chinese


I Like Chinese
Composer(s): Eric Idle
Performer(s): Monty Python



The world today seems absolutely crackers
With nuclear bombs to blow us all sky high
There are fools and idiots sitting on the trigger
It's depressing, and it's senseless, and that's why...

I like Chinese
I like Chinese
They only come up to your knees
Yet they're always friendly and they're ready to please

I like Chinese
I like Chinese
There's nine hundred million of them in the world today
You'd better learn to like them, that's what I say

I like Chinese
I like Chinese
They come from a long way overseas
But they're cute and they're cuddly, and they're ready to please

I like chinese food
The waiters never are rude
Think of the many things they've done to impress
There's Maoism, Taoism, I Ching and chess

So I like Chinese
I like Chinese
I like their tiny little trees
Their Zen, their ping-pong, their yin and yang-ese

I like Chinese thought
The wisdom that Confucius taught
If Darwin is anything to shout about
The Chinese will survive us all without any doubt

So I like Chinese
I like Chinese
They only come up to your knees
Yet they're wise and they're witty, and they're ready to please

wo ai Zhongguo ren
wo ai Zhongguo ren
wo ai Zhongguo ren
ni hao ma
ni hao ma
ni hao ma
zai jian

I like Chinese
I like Chinese
Their food is guaranteed to please
A fourteen, a seven, a nine and lychees

I like Chinese
I like Chinese
I like their tiny little trees
Their Zen, their ping-pong, their yin and yang-ese

I like Chinese
I like Chinese ...

Junior Birdman


Junior Birdman
(Traditional)



Chorus:

Up in the air junior birdman
Up in the air upside down
Up in the air junior birdman
Keep your noses off the ground

When you hear the grand announcement
that your wings are made of tin
Then you know that Junior Birdman
has turned his box tops in*

For it takes: 5 box tops
4 bottle bottoms
3 coupons
2 wrappers
and one thin dime!

B-i-r-d, B-i-r-d, B-i-r-d-m-a-n
Birdman, Birdman, Birdman
Buzzzzzzzz!

*Alternate Verse
When you hear the doorbell ring (buzz, buzz)
When you see the badge of tin (tin, tin)
Then you know that junior birdman
Has turned his box tops in

Torrey Canyon


Torrey Canyon
((English Version: Torrey Canyon (Mick Harvey) - 1995) Composer(s): Serge Gainsbourg First release: Serge Gainsbourg - 1967 Covered by multiple other artists



Je suis né
Dans les chantiers japonais
En vérité, j'appartiens
Aux Américains

Une filiale
D'une compagnie navale
Dont j'ai oublié l'adresse
À Los Angeles

Cent vingt mille tonnes de pétrole brut
Cent vingt mille tonnes
Dans le Torrey Canyon

Aux Bermudes
À 30 degrés de latitude
Se tient la Barracuda Tankers Corporation
Son patron
M'a donné en location
À l'union Oil company
De Californie

Cent vingt mille tonnes de pétrole brut
Cent vingt mille tonnes
Dans le Torrey Canyon

Si je bats
Pavillon du Liberia
Le cap'tain et les marins
Sont tous italiens
Le mazout
Dont on m'a rempli les soutes
C'est celui du Consortium
British Petroleum

Cent vingt mille tonnes espèces de brutes
Cent vingt mille tonnes
Dans le Torrey Canyon
