That's Love
That's Love
Composer(s): Gilbert O'Sullivan
Performer(s): Gilbert O'Sullivan
Once in a while, out of the blue
I might appear somewhat rude
But don't be alarmed or get upset
Just say to yourself this I'll forget
And when I come home after being away
It might do me good just to hear you say
Darlin' don't move an inch, keep perfectly still
Now do with me what you will
Sometime ago before we met
I vowed to myself that I'd never let
No-one at all ever tie me down
Never dreaming that I'd see you around
Now isn't it strange wherever you go
It's always the same with whoever you know
Which just goes to prove what I've been trying to say
Looking at you the way I do (that's love)
Promising always to be true (that's love)
Giving each other a helping hand (that's love)
Sharing each other's every plan, that's love
And in love you do
And isn't it strange wherever you go
It's always the same with whoever you know
Which just goes to prove what I've been dying to say
Holding you now the way I do (that's love)
Knowing full well you want me to (that's love)
Telling each other how we feel (that's love)
Knowing inside it must be real, that's love
And in love it's true

Cabin In The Sky (Ethel Waters & Dooley Wilson)
Cabin In The Sky
Composer(s): Vernon Duke - John Latouche
First performance by: Ethel Waters & Dooley Wilson - 1940
Covered by multiple other artists
In this cloudy sky overhead now
There's no guiding star I can see
And I would be lost by each wild tempest tossed
Oh, if I didn't know of a place we two can go ...
There's a little cabin in the sky, Mister
For me and for you
I feel that it's true somehow
Can't you see that cabin in the sky, Mister
An acre or two of heavenly blue to plow
We will be oh so gay
Eat fried chicken every day
As the angels go sailing by
And that is why my heart is flyin' high, Mister
'Cause I know we'll have a cabin in the sky
We will be oh so gay
Eat fried chicken every day
As the angels go sailing by
That is why my heart is flying high, baby
'Cause I know we'll have a cabin in the sky

Face To Face (Siouxsie And The Banshees)
Face To Face
Composer(s): Danny Elfman - Siouxsie And The Banshees
Performer(s): Siouxsie And The Banshees
Face to face
my lovely foe
Mouth to mouth
raining heaven's blows
Hand on heart
tic tac toe
Under the stars
naked as we flow
Cheek to cheek
the bitter sweet
Commit your crime in your deadly time
Commit your crime in your deadly time
It's too divine
I want to bend
I want this bliss but something says I must resist
Another life
another time
We're Siamese twins writhing intertwined
Face to face
no telling lies
The masks they slide to reveal a new disguise
You never can win
it's the state I'm in
This danger thrills and my conflict kills
They say follow your heart
follow it through
But how can you
when you're split in two?
And you'll never know
You'll never know
One more kiss
before we die
Face to face
and dream of flying
Who are you?
who am I?
Wind in wings
two angels falling
To die like this
with a last kiss
It's falsehood's flame
it's a crying shame
Face to face
the passions breathe
I hate to stay but then I hate to leave
And you'll never know
You'll never know ...

That's Life I Guess
That's Life I Guess
Composer(s): Peter de Rose - Sam M. Lewis
Performer(s): Billie Holiday
and multiple other artists
Sometimes I wonder what’s in store for me
Your love could open heaven’s door to me
But you don’t care a straw for me
That’s life, I guess
My days and nights are stark and hard with you
My sugar kisses taste like salt to you
But why should I find fault with you?
That’s life, I guess
The world was bright when you loved me
Sweet was the touch of your lips
The world went dark when you left me
And then there came a total eclipse
Nobody knows how cruel fate can be
How close together love and hate can be
Goodbye, just clean the slate for me
That’s life, I guess

Cabin In The Sky (Fats Waller)
Cabin In The Sky
Composer(s): Johnny Burke - Edgar Leslie
Performer(s): Fats Waller
In the cabin high in the sky
It was the cabin of a passenger plane
And I was dreaming of a castle in Spain
When I laid eyes on you
In the cabin high in the sky
The day was cloudy, there was rain in the air
And as you sat there in the opposite chair, oh baby
Your sunny smile came through
There was an invitation in the note you gave me
I couldn't very well refuse
And from the moment that you started to enslave me
I had everything to win, nothin' to lose
In the cabin high in the sky
'Twas like a dreamhouse in the heavenly glow
I saw an angel and I let myself go
I fell in love with you

Face The Fire
Face The Fire
Composer(s): Dan Fogelberg
Performer(s): Dan Fogelberg
I hear the thunder
Three miles away
The island's leaking
Into the bay
The poison is spreading
The demon is free
And people are running from
What they can't even see
Face the fire
You can't turn away
The risk grows greater
With each passing day
The waiting's over
The moment has come
To kill the fire
And turn to the sun
They'll take your money
And then take your health
To line their pockets with
Unequaled wealth
These men are under
The power of gold
We won't be safe until we
Shut them down cold
Face the fire
You can't turn away
The risk grows greater
With each passing day
The waiting's over
The moment has come
To kill the fire
And turn to the sun
The people came to the capitol town
One hundred thousand of them
Laid their hearts down
They screamed in anger
And broadcast their fears
Just to have them
Fall on deaf ears

That's Life
That's Life
Composer(s): Kelly Gordon - Dean Kay
First release by: Marian Montgomery - 1964
Covered by multiple other artists
That's life, that's what all the people say
You're riding high in April
Shot down in May
But I know I'm gonna change that tune
When I'm back on top, back on top in June
I said that's life, and as funny as it may seem
Some people get their kicks
Stompin' on a dream
But I don't let it, let it get me down
'Cause this fine ol' world it keeps spinning around
I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate
A poet, a pawn and a king
I've been up and down and over and out
And I know one thing
Each time I find myself, flat on my face
I pick myself up and get back in the race
That's life
I tell ya, I can't deny it
I thought of quitting baby
But my heart just ain't gonna buy it
And if I didn't think it was worth one single try
I'd jump right on a big bird and then I'd fly
I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate
A poet, a pawn and a king
I've been up and down and over and out
And I know one thing
Each time I find myself laying flat on my face
I just pick myself up and get back in the race
That's life
That's life and I can't deny it
Many times I thought of cutting out
But my heart won't buy it
But if there's nothing shakin' come this here July
I'm gonna roll myself up in a big ball and die
My, My

Cabaretera
Cabaretera
Performer(s): Raphael
Yo soy un hombre pobre
Soy muy poco para ti
Pero te quiero tanto, tanto y tanto
Mi amor es tan sincero
Y tú soñando como sueñas
Con lujos y riquezas
Ni te fijas en mí
Cabaretera
No olvides que te quiero
Te quiero en mi pobreza
Y nunca he de cambiar
Cabaretera
Mi dulce arrabalera
Te quiero con el alma
Y nunca he de cambiar
A Dios tan sólo pido
Que tus sueños y caprichos
Con lágrimas no tengas que pagar
El cielo será cielo
La tierra será tierra
La vida será siempre igual
Cabaretera
No olvides que yo te quiero
Te quiero en mi pobreza
Y nunca he de cambiar
Cabaretera
Mi novia arrabalera
Te quiero con el alma
Y nunca he de cambiar

Face The Face
Face The Face
Composer(s): Pete Townsend
Performer(s): The Who; Champ!
We've got to face the face
You must have heard the cautionary tales
The dangers hidden on the cul-de-sac trails
>From wiser men who have been through it all
And the ghosts of failures spray-canned up on the wall
We've got to judge the judge
Got to find the finds
We've got to scheme the schemes
Have to line the lines
We must stake the stakes
And show the shown
We must take the takes
And know the known
Try to place the place
Where we can face the face
Face the face-got to
Face the face
You must have tried and the defied belief
Maybe found futility in insular grief
I need your hunger just as you need mine
A million appetites can swallow up time
We've got to fool the fools
And plan the plans
We must rule the rules
Got to stand the stands
We must fight the fight
And fall the falls
We must light the light
And call the calls
We must race the race
So we can face the face
New York! Chicago!
London and Glasgow!
Keep looking!
Keep on cooking
Keep on looking
Gotta stay on this case
Study the pix
Watch the fix
We've got to find the face
Try to place the place where we can face the face

That's How Young I Feel
That's How Young I Feel
Composer(s): Jerry Herman
Performer(s): Bobby Hackett; Jonah Jones; Angela Lansbury
Mame and All:
I have the feeling that time has halted
I'd like two straws and a choc'late malted
'Cause that's how young I feel
I feel like peckin' and bunny huggin'
And Lindy hoppin' and jitterbuggin'
'Cause that's how young I feel
I'm mad for that big band beat
Wanna ride in a rumble seat
(Sheldon's got the Chevvy)
Love a faceful of frozen custard
To have a hot dog with sand and mustard
And ride the Ferris wheel
Oh, honey
'Cause that's how young I feel
I'm ready to ask my mom
Can I go to the Junior Prom
(Sheldon's got the Chevvy)
Want a coonskin to knock about with
To start each mornin' by givin' out
With a Rudy Vallee squeal
Oh, honey
'Cause that's how young I feel
I find I'm faced with that old sensation
Will life go on after graduation
'Cause that's how young I feel
I'd love to cheer at a football rally
And swap sorority pins with Sally
'Cause that's how young I feel
Love a faceful of frozen custard
To have a hot dog with sand and mustard
And ride the Ferris wheel
Oh, honey
'Cause that's how young I feel
Young I feel
Young I feel
Young I feel
That's how young
How you, yeah, I feel!

Cabaret
Cabaret
Composer(s): Fred Ebb - John Kander
First performance by: Jill Haworth - 1966
Covered by multiple other artists
What good is sitting alone in your room?
Come hear the music play
Life is a cabaret, old chum
come to the cabaret
Put down the knitting, the book, and the broom
Time for a holiday
Life is a cabaret, old chum
come to the cabaret
Come taste the wine
come hear the band
come blow your horn
start celebrating
right this way
your table's waiting
No use permitting
some prophet of doom to wipe every smile away
Life is a cabaret, old chum
so come to the cabaret!
I used to have this girlfriend known as Elsie
with whom I shared four sorbid rooms in Chelsea
She wasn't what you'd call
a blushing flower
As a matter of fact
she rented by the hour
The day she died the neighbours came to snicker
"Well, that's what comes from
too much pills and liquor"
But when I saw her laid out like a queen
she was the happiest... corpse...
I'd ever seen
I think of Elsie to this very day
I remember how she'd turned to me and say
"What good is sitting alone in your room?
Come hear the music play
Life is a cabaret, old chum
come to the cabaret
And as for me
as for me
I made my mind up, back in Chelsea
when I go, I'm going like Elsie
Start by admitting from cradle to tomb
isn't that long a stay
Life is a cabaret, old chum
it's only a cabaret, old chum
And I love the cabaret

Fabulous Character
Fabulous Character
Composer(s): Bennie Benjamin
Performer(s): Sarah Vaughan
To me he's a fabulous character
(He's near and I glow)
A fabulous character
(And I love him so)
He walks by my side
And I dance on air
I find he's kind of a special guy
(My heart can't be wrong)
I kiss him and I know why
(My life is a song)
He's so marvelous
No one can compare
Till now my life was a merry-go-round
I never knew a carefree day
And then it happened, I suddenly found
The someone who could make me feel this way
To me he's a fabulous character
(He's all I can see)
A fabulous character
(And he'll always be)
What's more fabulous
He belongs to me

That's How It Goes
That's How It Goes
Composer(s): W. Merrill - Robert Allen
Performer(s): George Maharis
Well here I go again, another sleepless night
Left with a broken heart since we have been apart
And if you only knew the tears I cried for you
I guess when you're in love that's how it goes
They say all over town you've found another guy
And now he's kissing you the way I used to do
Well go and have your fling, you're still my everything
I guess when you're in love that's how it goes
But if you find I'm on your mind
Remember this I'll still be here
There's nothing left for me, there is no happiness
So how can I go on Sweetheart, now that you're gone
But I still hope and pray that you'll come back someday
I guess when you're in love that's how it goes
But if you find I'm on your mind
Remember this I'll still be here
There's nothing left for me, there is no happiness
So how can I go on Sweetheart, now that you're gone
But I still hope and pray that you'll come back someday
I guess when you're in love that's how it goes
I guess when you're in love that's how it goes
I guess when you're in love that's how it goes

Caballo Que No Galopa
Caballo Que No Galopa
Composer(s): Horacio Guarany
Performer(s): Horacio Guarany; El Chango Nieto
Caballo que no galopa
va derecho al pisadero
y al que lo topa la muerte
va derechito al infierno
Andar sólo y galopando
como quien se va perdiendo
con el alma dolorida
caminito de los cerros
Andar solo y galopando
como quien se va nomás
las lágrimas bajo el poncho
porque no es de hombre llorar
(Estribillo)
Mi caballito querido
ésta te pido nomás
nos han echado los perros
pero no me han de alcanzar
Caballo que no galopa
va derecho al pisadero
estrella que no hace noche
se alumbra con el lucero
Soy jinete de la noche
voy galopando hacia el alba
ando lejos de mi tierra
por no vender mi guitarra
Soy jinete de la noche
algún día aclarará
sólo le pido a mi tierra
que no me quiera olvidar

Performer(s): Charlie Gracie;
and various other artists
Well I always knew I was crazy for you
How'd I know, you'd thrill me so
If this is love, well, it's fabulous
Your lips are close to mine
I get chills up my spine
And when they touch
I thrill so much
If this is love, it's fabulous
I read in a book
About love and it's charms
But I, I never knew
Till I held you in my arms
When I held you tight
Well, I know, I know, I'm right
'Cause only you, can do what you do
If this is love, it's fabulous
Well I always knew I was crazy for you
How'd I know, that you'd thrill me so
If this is love, well, it's fabulous
Your lips are close to mine
I get chills up my spine
And when they touch
I thrill so much
If this is love, well, it's fabulous
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
It's fabulous
If this is love, well, it's fabulous

That's How I Need You
That's How I Need You
Composer(s): Joe McCarthy - Joe Goodwin - Al. Piantadosi
Sometimes when someone needs something, something to make someone glad
why couldn't something help someone, Why should that someone be sad?
You are the something I mean, dear, I am the someone so blue
Love is so hard to explain dear, I only know that I need you
Something could change someone's world, dear
Something could brighten the sky
something could make someone happy, if something only would try
Someone is waiting and hoping, hoping to have someone near
I am the someone, who's waiting, you are the something so dear
Like the roses need their fragrance, like a sweetheart needs a kiss
like the summer needs the sunshine, like a laddie needs a miss
like a broken heart needs gladness, like the flowers need the dew
like a baby needs its mother, that's how I need you

Caballo Místico
Caballo Místico
Composer(s): Díaz Paloma - Silvio Rodríguez
Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez
Erase un caballo con dos alas
que subía que volaba
como volaría el amor
érase un caballo con un cuerno
en la nariz que en primavera
se hizo buen galopador
érase un caballo con un hombre
y un arquero todo junto
con un solo corazón
érase que un beso era el olimpo
érase que abril era a las cinco
y las patas del animal místico
se enredaban en el aire
con su galope magnífico
y era que te había conocido
con tu nombre que volaba
con tu pequeño vestido

Gypsies, Tramps And Thieves
Gypsies, Tramps And Thieves
Composer(s): Bob Stone
Performer(s): Cher;
and various other artists
I was born in the wagon of a travelin' show
My mama used to dance for the money they'd throw
Papa would do whatever he could
Preach a little gospel, sell a couple bottles of Doctor Good
Gypsies, tramps, and thieves
We'd hear it from the people of the town
They'd call us gypsies, tramps, and thieves
But every night all the men would come around
And lay their money down
Picked up a boy just south of Mobile
Gave him a ride, filled him with a hot meal
I was sixteen, he was twenty-one
Rode with us to Memphis
And Papa woulda shot him if he knew what he'd done
Gypsies, tramps, and thieves
We'd hear it from the people of the town
They'd call us gypsies, tramps, and thieves
But every night all the men would come around
And lay their money down
I never had schoolin' but he taught me well
With his smooth southern style
Three months later I'm a girl in trouble
And I haven't seen him for a while
Oh, no, I haven't seen him for a while
She was born in the wagon of a travelin' show
Her mama had to dance for the money they'd throw
Grandpa'd do whatever he could
Preach a little gospel, sell a couple bottles of Doctor Good
Gypsies, tramps, and thieves
We'd hear it from the people of the town
They'd call us gypsies, tramps, and thieves
But every night all the men would come around
And lay their money down
Gypsies, tramps, and thieves
We'd hear it from the people of the town
They'd call us gypsies, tramps, and thieves
But every night all the men would come around
And lay their money down
