The Biggest Parakeets In Town
The Biggest Parakeets In Town
Composer(s): Charlie Drew - Jud Strunk
Performer(s): Kacey Jones
Some folks I know keep looking
For rare old coins and stamps
While others see what's cooking
In antique books and lamps
Some hobbies are like slavery
There's one too tough for words
This girl has got an aviary
And you should see her birds...
She's got chanticleers and dickey birds
Intelligent and tricky birds
That make the boys all want to hang around
Her crow is black and shiny
Her hummingbirds are tiny
But she's got the biggest parakeets in town!
She's got cockatoos and bobolinks
In royal blue and dusty pinks
And you should see them hangin' upside down
Oh, it's thrilling to behold her
When she wings them past her shoulder
'Cause she's got the biggest parakeets in town!
And every night
When she gets into bed
She puts each one on a pillow
Oh, they sound like Bing
When they start to sing
"Tweet willow, tweet willow, tweet willow"
After holding them and petting them
She gets a thrill in letting them
Go swingin' from the ceiling to the ground
Ask anyone who's seen 'em
It's hard to choose between 'em
'Cause she's got the biggest parakeets in town!
Imagine her in love one day
As she tells her fiance, "Okay!"
On the day the wedding rolls around
Although he loves the ground she stands on
He can't wait to get his hands on
The biggest parakeets in town
Well, picture on their wedding night
When hubby, dear, turns off the light
And wakes in the mornin' with a frown...
As he goes to caress her
He sees them on the dresser...
The biggest parakeets in town!
(She's really got 'em, boy!)
The biggest parakeets in town!
(They're enormous!)

Canción Del Trovador Errante
Canción Del Trovador Errante
Composer(s): Silvio Rodríguez
Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez
Fui un trovador errante
sombra por caminos sin alas
Mis riquezas
fueron aquellos sitios
donde aprendían mis canciones
quienes me las mostraban
vagabundos alrededor de sus hogueras
iluminaciones de cirqueros y perros
donde me convertía en una chispa transitoria
disuelta en las remotas
antífonas que saben las cigarras
Mi patria era la intemperie
los acosados campos de clorofila elemental
y fauna en eclosión
pero también era ceniza
miércoles de lloviznas masticando
la hogaza sucia y nutritiva que comparte
el proscrito ordinario
risueño y colosal
entre las tibias ocasionales
piernas de un cisne amaestrado
Fui un trovador errante
y ahora
tras el paso del tiempo
soy quien enciende las hogueras
quien convoca luciérnagas
y sabe el nombre de la chispa que salta
de la crepitación hacia la noche
cometa de un universo diminuto
donde mi mano es la de Dios
quiero decir
la de un colosalmente viejo vagabundo
con la mirada puesta en los senderos
con la memoria abierta a la única
riqueza que le espera
Susurraré mi historia a un trovador errante
sombra en busca de almas
para que la reparta junto a los fuegos
ocasionales tibios que depara el camino
a todos quienes sueñan con un cisne
salvaje

Performer(s): Creedence Clearwater Revival;
Rosanne Cash
Hey, look over yonder out in the rain
Soakin' wet fever in my brain
Now, I ain't certain which way to go
But I got to move, sure
Chorus:
Feelin'
Blue, blue, blue, blue, blue
Feelin'
Blue, blue, blue, blue, blue
Feelin'
Blue, blue, blue, blue, blue
I'm Feelin' Blue
I'm Feelin' Blue
Hey, look over yonder behind the wall
They're closin' in I'm about to fall
Now I'm no coward, but I ain't no cool
Feel it in my bones, my book is due
Chorus
Hey, look over yonder, up in the tree
There's a rope hangin' just for me
Without a warnin', without a warnin'
Things are pilin' up to break me down
Chorus
Hey, look over yonder, out in the street
People laughin' by, walkin' easy
Now, I'm no sinner, but I ain't no saint
If it's happy, you can say I ain't
Chorus
I'm Feelin' Blue
I'm Feelin' Blue
I'm Feelin' Blue
I'm Feelin' Blue
I'm Feelin' Blue
I'm Feelin' Blue

Biggest Aspidistra In The World
Biggest Aspidistra In The World
Composer(s): Connor - Haines - Harper
Performer(s): Gracie Fields
For years we had an aspidestra in a flower pot
On the whatnot, near the hatstand, in the hall
It didn’t seem to grow till one day our brother Joe
Had a notion that he’d make it strong and tall
So he’s crossed it with an acorn from an oak tree
And he’s planted it against the garden wall
It shot up like a rocket till it nearly reached the sky
It’s the biggest aspidestra in the world
We couldn’t see the top of it, it got so bloomin’ high
It’s the biggest aspidestra in the world
When father’s had a snoot-full at his pub “The Bunch of Grapes”
He doesn’t go all fighting-mad and getting into scrapes – oh no
You’ll find him in his bare skin playing Tarzan of the Apes
On the biggest aspidestra in the world
We have to get it watered by the local fire brigade
So they put the water rates up half a crown
The roots top up the drains, grow along the country lanes
And they come up half a mile outside the town
Once we had an auditorium for a hothouse
But a jealous rival went and burnt it down
The tomcats and their sweethearts love to spend their evenings out
Up the biggest aspidestra in the world
They all begin meeowing when the buds begin to sprout
From the biggest aspidestra in the world
The dogs all come around for miles – a lovely sight to see
They sniff around for hours and hours and wag their tails with glee
So I’ve had to put a notice up to say it’s not a tree
It’s the biggest aspidestra in the world

Canción Del Silencio
Canción Del Silencio
Composer(s): D.A.R.
Performer(s): Léon Gieco
Silencio, señores grandes
que despiertan los cuentos del parque
Ellos esperan las nuevas risas
en las treinta vueltas de una calesita
Ellos esperan las nuevas risas
sobre la esperanza llamada sortija
Silencio, señores grandes
que despiertan las leyendas
Tal vez pintadas o dibujadas
en el redondo borde de las plantas
Tal vez pintadas o dibujadas
En el vaiven solitario de una hamaca
El silencio no es una palabra
escrita sobre una pared
Es una cancion solitaria por el viento
que no se detiene en el medio de un infierno
Es una cancion solitaria por el viento
que no se detiene en el medio de un infierno ho ho oho
Silencio, señores grandes
que despiertan las historias
Adormecidas en los parques
debajo de un tobogan o un banco gris
Adormecidas en los parques
cobijadas por un copo de maiz
Silencio, señores grandes
que las dulces fabulas despiertan
Ellas estan acurrucadas
en el vientre de un mordisco de manzana
Ellas estan acurrucadas
en el bostezo de una hormiga trasnochada
Estribillo . . .

Feelin' Alright
Feelin' Alright
((Italian Version: Tu Vedi Mai Cerchi Bianchi E Neri? (by Riki Maiocchi))
Composer(s): Dave Mason
First release by: Traffic - 1968
Covered by multiple other artists
Seems I got to have a change of scenes
Everynight I have the strangest dreams
Imprisoned by the way it could have been
Left he are on my own or so it seemed
I got to leave before I start to scream
Before someone locks the door and takes to keys
Feelin' alright, I'm not feelin' to good myself
Feelin' alright, I'm not feelin' to good myself
(little girl)
Boy you shelter me with warmth and rye
And even now I sit and I wonder why
That when I think of you, I start myself to cry
Just can't waste my time, I must get by
Gotta stop believin', in all your lies
Well there's too much to do before I die
Feelin' alright, I'm not feelin' to good myself
Feelin' alright, I'm not feelin' to good myself
(little girl)
Ooh don't you get too lost, in all I say
In a better time, you know I really found that way
But that was then and now you know it's today...
I can't get set for it, guess I'm here to stay
Till someone comes along and takes my place
With a different name, and a different face
Feelin' alright, I'm not feelin' to good myself
Feelin' alright, I'm not feelin' to good myself
(little girl)

The Bigger The Fool (The Harder The Fall)
The Bigger The Fool (The Harder The Fall)
Composer(s): Kris Kristofferson
Performer(s): Kris Kristofferson
Hey, doesn't it still look easy as it did to you
Hey, wasn't it true, after all
I couldn't help myself, girl
And I can't blame you
The bigger the fool, the harder the fall
Living on old illusions, and some make believe
That mattered to me, most of all
Closing my eyes to changes I've refused to see
The bigger the fool, the harder the fall
Somewhere in your future, on the far side of your world
You might read my writing on the wall
And think of the easy dreamer who believed in you
The bigger the fool, the harder the fall
If someday you wake up in a world that's turned on you
And nobody answers when you call
Hey, think of the easy dreamer who believes in you
The bigger the fool, the harder the fall
Think of the crazy dreamer who believes in you
The bigger the fool, the harder the fall

Canción Del Perdón
Canción Del Perdón
Composer(s): Horacio Guarany
Performer(s): Horacio Guarany
Si vuelves algún día
no expliques tu regreso
que sea como si nunca
sucedió tu abandono
Resume tus palabras
tan sólo con un beso
que yo con la mirada
diré si te perdono
No es que pierda mi orgullo
ni te dé la razón
a veces en la vida
nos ciega una quimera
y olvidamos la pena
de otro corazón
que sufre las angustias
terribles de la espera...
Lo importante
entre aquellos que siempre se han querido
y que mantienen viva la prímera ilusión
es llegar al final, seguros, muy unidos
tomados de la mano, cantando una canción

Feel Too Good
Composer(s): Roy Wood
Performer(s): The Move; Spitballs
She's got me stolen
So you wonder why
Man I was rollin'
She has all I got
Feel too good
What can you do?
Can't seem to control myself
So how can I talk to you?
Met her in the garden
Taking the stairway home
Something hits me harder
Hits me like a stone
Feel too good
What can you do?
Can't seem to control myself
So how can I talk to you?
If it should be questioned
I can feel the heat
Mind her reflection
Stops you in the street
Feel too good
What can you do?
Can't seem to control myself
So how can I talk to you?
Feel too good
What can you do?
Can't seem to control myself
So how can I talk to you?
Feel too good
What can you do?
Can't seem to control myself
So how can I talk to you?
I feel too good
Feel too good feel too good
Yeah hey yeah
What can you do?

The Big Ones Get Away
The Big Ones Get Away
Composer(s): Buffy Sainte-Marie
Performer(s): Buffy Sainte-Marie
Hey, Baby I just got back from town
where the bribes are paid
Honey, they turned my offer down
they say the deal's already made
So now Igotta stand and watch
while it all comes down
and the buzzards and the hawks
and the judges and the mob
circle around
Now if I were the queen of all the world
I would 90 in chains just to see you free
of the ropes that bind you
and the role you play
and the pride that hooks you
while the big ones get away
Love junkies wanna change the world:
it quickly stays the same
Money junkies hire all the smart ones
Power junkies run the game
One step at a time
Polarity Hill
If the bad guys don't get you Baby
then the good guys will
With angels on the take
and the gangsters in the yard
Hey don't the wars come easy
Hey don't the peace come hard
Now if I had a way to reach the sky
I'd grab that crescent moon
wield it like a knife
save you from the lies
From the ropes that bind you
and the role you play
and the game that hooks you
while the big ones get away

Soy un hombre muy honrado

The Big Hurt
The Big Hurt
Composer(s): Wayne Shanklin
First release by: Miss Toni Fisher - 1959
Covered by multiple other artists
Now it begins, now that you've gone
Needles and pins, twilight till dawn
Watching that clock till you return
Lighting that torch and watching it burn
Now it begins, day after day
This is my night, ticking away
Waiting to hear footsteps that say
"Love will appear and this time to stay"
Oh, each time you go
I try to pretend
It's over at last
This time the big hurt will end
Now it begins, now that you've gone
Needles and pins, twilight till dawn
But if you go, come back again
I wonder when, oh when will it end?
The big hurt
The big hurt
The big hurt

Canción Del Jangadero
Canción Del Jangadero
Composer(s): Eduardo Falú - Jaime Dávalos
Performer(s): Juan Carlos Baglietto
and multiple other artists
Rio abajo voy llevando la jangada
rio abajo por el alto Parana
es el peso de la sombra derrumbada
que buscando el horizonte bajará
Rio abajo, rio abajo, rio abajo
a flor de agua voy sangrando esta canción
ve el sueño de la vida y el trabajo
se me vuelve camalote el corazón
Jangadero...jangadero
mi destino sobre el rio es derivar
desde el fondo del obraje maderero
con el anhelo del agua que se va
Padre rio, tus escamas de oro vivo
son el sueño que nos llevan mas allá
vamos tras el horizonte fugitivo
y la sangre con el agua se nos va
Banda a banda, sol y luna, cielo y agua
espejismo que no acaba de pasar
piel de barro, fabulosa lampalagua
me devora la pasión de navegar
Jangadero...jangadero

Feel The Love
Feel The Love
Composer(s): Graham Gouldman; Eric Michael Stewart
Performer(s): 10 cc
I saw you so pretty
Your face lit up the city
Two worlds came together
The memory stays for evermore
So different your fashion
You were the main attraction
Heads turning in wonder
I felt myself go under
(Oomachasaooma...)
`Ooh I'm a drowning man
Save me please
I need you so give me a helping hand
Chorus
Nothing can stop you when you
Feel the love
No chains can hold you when you
Feel the love
Don't try to fight it when you
Feel the love
Nobody matters but the one you love
My intro I fumble
My facade starts to crumble
So strange your reaction
I made the right connection now
You got me no bother
I can't see any other
The world keeps on turning
I wouldn't care if it was burning
(Oomachasaooma...)
`Ooh I'm a drowning man
Save me please
I need you so give me a helping hand
Chorus
It's a million to one
You should find the right door
But there's no guarantee
You'll find what you're looking for
Don't give up if you blow it the first time around
But you've got to beware
If you're walking on air
Keep your feet on the ground
(Keep your feet on the ground)
Don't stop me I'm not dreaming
I can't ignore this feeling
Your love is my lifeline
You're so right so fine so glad you're mine
(Oomachasaooma...)
`Ooh I'm a drowning man
Save me please
I need you so give me a helping hand
Chorus

En mi pago hay un arbol
que del olvido se llama
donde van a consolarse
vidalita, los moribundos del alma
Para no pensar en vos
en el arbol del olvido

vidalita, y me quede bien dormido
Al despertar de aquel sueño
pensaba en vos otra vez
pues me olvide de olvidarte
vidalita, en cuanto me acoste

Feel The Breeze
Composer(s): Graham Russell
Performer(s): Air Supply
Since I met you
How can I notice if the sky is blue or grey
But here I am
Standing outside looking into a cloudy day
This must be the time for reflection
My direction is not quite clear
Now I feel the air is colder
Now I feel that winter's here
Feel the breeze, we're coming to winter
Feel the breeze, we're coming to winter
Feel the breeze, we're coming to winter
Feel the breeze, we're coming to winter
I feel the breeze, I feel dejected
I feel a part of a love that's gone
We're in this world to take some chances
from your glances I see it's wrong
Winter's here, and it's a long one
to be alone and in the cold
Brother sun, you cast a shadow
now I need my lonely role
Feel the breeze, we're coming to winter
Feel the breeze, we're coming to winter
Feel the breeze, we're coming to winter
Feel the breeze, we're coming to winter
