The Day America Cried
The Day America Cried
Composer(s): Jim Peterik - Johnny Van Zant
Performer(s): Jim Peterik; Johnny Van Zant
And now we stand as one
As flags are raised to hail our heroes
And now the healing starts
We join our hearts to remember all who have died
The Day America Cried
In the shadow of the Statue of Liberty
In the torch light of the land of the free
Lies the burning wreckage of our Fathers' dream
And the souls who've paid with their lives
A nation saw evil in September skies
By some faceless coward who'll soon pay the price
For challenging the towers of American pride
The Day America Cried
Why, why, why, oh why
And now we stand as one
As flags are raised to hail our heroes
And now the healing starts
We join our hearts to remember all who have died
The Day America Cried
Now as a calm falls on the skyline
Now as the smoke reveals the sun
Still the fires burn in our memory
This date is etched forever, nine-one-one
At the alter of the chapel of liberty
We light a candle for eternity
And pray that history will never repeat
The Day America Cried

Carla
Carla
Performer(s): Eddy Mitchell
À
Huit heures
Je quitte ma demeure
Sans
Penser
Moi je pars travailler
Le
Bureau
S'emplit de dactylos
Je
Suis là
Mais mon cœur n'y est pas
Et je commence à rêver
Perdu dans mes pensées
Je suis parti retrouver
Carla ma bien-aimée
Car mon obsession
Liée à son nom
M'oblige à penser
À elle, à l'aimer
Carla est son nom
Et il correspond
À l'amour entier
Que je veux trouver
Que je veux trouver
Ouh, Carla
Il faut que je te vois
Hum, Carla
Toi, tu me comprendras
Oh
Carla
Oh, pardon, oui, oui je suis là
Vous
Disiez chef?
Oui, les dossiers sont classés
Votre cigare sent mauvais
Votre allure me déplaît
Et laissez moi retrouver
Carla ma bien-aimée
Oh
Car mon obsession
Liée à son nom
M'oblige à penser
À elle, à l'aimer
Carla est son nom
Et il correspond
À l'amour entier
Que je veux trouver
Que je veux trouver
Que je veux trouver
Que je veux trouver
Que je veux trouver
Que je veux trouver

Five Foot Two, Eyes Of Blue

Ray Henderson; Samuel M. Lewis; Joseph Widow Young
Performer(s): Tommy & Jimmy Dorsey & Red Nichols;
and various other artists
Five foot two, eyes of blue
But oh, what those five foot could do
Has anybody seen my girl?
Turned up nose, turned down hose
All dressed up in fancy clothes
Has anybody seen my girl?
Now if you run into a five foot two
Covered in fur
Diamond rings and all those things
Bet-cha life it isn't her
But could she love, could she woo?
Could she, could she, could she coo?
Has anybody seen my girl?
Five foot two, eyes of blue
But oh, what those five foot could do
Has anybody seen my girl?
Turned up nose, turned down hose
All dressed up in fancy clothes
Has anybody seen my girl?
Now if you run into a five foot two
Covered in fur
Diamond rings and all those things
Bet-cha life it isn't her
But could she love, could she woo?
Could she, could she, could she coo?
Has anybody seen my...
Has anybody seen my...
Has anybody seen my girl?

Where you are there I'll be

Carito
Carito
Composer(s): León Gieco - Antonio Tarrago Ros
Performer(s): León Gieco; Pablo Milanés
Sentado solo en un banco en la ciudad
con tu mirada recordando el litoral
tu suerte quiso estar partida
mitad verdad mitad mentira
como esperanza de los pobres prometida
Andando solo bajo la llovizna gris
fingiendo duro que tu vida fue de aqui
por que cambiaste un mar de gente
por donde gobierna la flor
mira que el rio nunca regalo el color
Carito suelta tu pena
se haga diamante tu lagrima
entre mis cuerdas
Carito suelta tu piedra
para volar como el zorzal
en primavera
Armonica
En Bs.As. los zapatos son modernos
pero no lucen como en la plaza de un pueblo
deja que tu luz chiquitita le hable en secreto a la cancion
para que te ilumine un poco mas el sol
Cualquier semilla cuando es planta quiere ver
la misma estrella de aquel atardecer
Que la salvo del pico agudo refugiandola al oscuro
de la gaviota arrasadora de los surcos
Carito yo soy tu amigo
me ofrezco arbol
para tu nido
Carito suelta tu canto
que el abanico en mi acordeon
lo esta esperando

Five Feet High And Rising
Five Feet High And Rising
Composer(s): Johnny Cash
Performer(s): Johnny Cash; Jason Edwards;
Ruby Jane; Stars at Studio 99
My mama always taught me that good things come from adversity
if we put our faith in the Lord
We couldn't see much good in the flood waters when they
were causing us to have to leave home
But when the water went down
we found that it had washed a load of rich black bottom dirt across our land
The following year we had the best cotton crop we'd ever had
I remember hearing
How high's the water, mama?
Two feet high and risin'
How high's the water, papa?
Two feet high and risin'
We can make it to the road in a homemade boat
That's the only thing we got left that'll float
It's already over all the wheat and the oats
Two feet high and risin'
How high's the water, mama?
Three feet high and risin'
How high's the water, papa?
Three feet high and risin'
Well, the hives are gone
I've lost my bees
The chickens are sleepin'
In the willow trees
Cow's in water up past her knees
Three feet high and risin'
How high's the water, mama?
Four feet high and risin'
How high's the water, papa?
Four feet high and risin'
Hey, come look through the window pane
The bus is comin', gonna take us to the train
Looks like we'll be blessed with a little more rain
4 feet high and risin'
How high's the water, mama?
Five feet high and risin'
How high's the water, papa?
Five feet high and risin'
Well, the rails are washed out north of town
We gotta head for higher ground
We can't come back till the water comes down
Five feet high and risin'
Well, it's five feet high and risin'

The Darktown Poker Club
The Darktown Poker Club
Composer(s): Bert Williams - William Vodery
Performer(s): Phil Harris; Bert Williams
Bill Jackson was a poor old dub
Who joined the Darktown Poker Club
But cursed the day he told them he would join
His money used to go like it had wings
If he held queens, someone had kings
And each night he would contribute all his coin
Then he said I’m gonna play ‘em tight tonight
He said there’ll be no bobtail flushes make me bite
‘Cause when I gets in them my hands will be a peach
And he played them tight but lost his pile
And Bill got peevish after a while
So he rose, looked all around, and made this speech
He said you all see this brand new razor
I had it sharpened just today
Now I’m coming in there with my rules
That you must follow when you play
Now keep your big bony hands on the table
While you dealing, please
And don’t be slippin’ them aces down there
Er, in between your knees
And don’t be makin’ all them funny signs
Like you tryin’ to tip off your hand
Just talk in American, boy, American
So’s I can understand
And don’t be dealin’ off the bottom
Because ooh that’s rough
Take five, five, then stop, that’s enough
Now when you bet put up the chips
Because I don’t like it when you shy
Then if you get busted go on out and get some
I’m gonna be here by and by
Pass them cards for me to shuffle
Every time before you deals
Then if anything’s wrong, I must see
‘Cause I mean, you always ain’t no, er
Keep playin’ that game according to Mr. Hoyle
You all play this game accordin’ to me
Now sittin’ right there in that there clan
There chanced to be a one-eyed man
And Bill kept watchin’ him out the corner of his eye
When ole one-eye would deal and then
Would cost that Bill another five or ten
Bill got up again, looked all around him with a sigh
He said, Lord, this is an awful shame
He said, There someone cheatin’ in this ‘ere game
He said, o’ course, er,
It ain’t gonna do for me to name the guy
So I’ll refrain from mentioning the party’s name
If I catch him cheatin’ just once again
I’m gonna take my fist and close that other eye
Now you see this brand new razor
I had it sharpened just today
I’m comin’ in there with my own rules
That you must follow when you play
Hey kid, keep your hands up there
While you’re givin’ them out, please
Stop puttin’ them wildies
Down there ‘tween your knees
Stop makin’ all them funny signs
Like you’re tryin’ to tip off your hand
Keep talkin’ in American, big AAA
That’s what I can understand
And don’t be getting’ them off the bottom
Because I keep tryin’ to tell you it’s rough
This an army game, five, five, halt, that’s enough
Now when you bet let me see the reds and blues
‘Cause I don’t like it when you shy
Then if you run out of gas, go get pumped up
I’m gonna be here by and by
Pass them pasteboards for me to shuffle
Every time before you deal, let me ripple
Anything wrong, I wanna see
I mean, you always ain’t gonna keep playin’ the game now
According to that Mr. Hoyle
You all gonna play this game according to me
Henry, if you break the seal on that new deck of bicycles
We’ll go on from there, yeah
Yeah yeah yeah

Composer(s): José Alfredo Jiménez
Performer(s): José Alfredo Jiménez; Lola Beltrán
Adoración mi vida
te fui queriendo
con toda el alma
muchacha consentida
tú eres la causa
de que yo valga
Cuando me estás besando
me vuelves otro con tu cariño
pero cuando me dejas
me voy llorando como si fuera niño
Cuando en tus ojos verdes
me estoy mirando
me vuelvo loco
y me voy enredando
entre tu pelo negro
poquito a poco
Adoración mi vida
muchacha consentida
cariño del cariño
desde que tú me quieres
se me llenó de rosas
mi desierto camino

Five Easy Pisseuses
Five Easy Pisseuses
Composer(s): Serge Gainsbourg
Performer(s): Serge Gainsbourg
De mes cinq petites pisseuses j'ai préféré la six
Ouais pour toi Samantha j'ai balancé mes cinq ex
Tes petites socks
Me mettent en erex
Elles sont si sex-
Y de mes cinq petites pisseuses j'ai préféré la six
Un dancing avec des synthés où suintait un sax
Tes petites socks
Me mettent en erex
J'sens ça si sex
De mes cinq petites pisseuses j'ai préféré la six
C'était la plus noire de peau, de loin la plus lascive
Ses petites socks blanches
Me mettent en erex
Jusqu'à l'intox
De mes cinq petites pisseuses j'ai préféré la six
Premier contact, dans son dos mon ongle dessine un x
Ses petites socks
Me mettent en erex
J'oublie mes ex
De mes cinq petites pisseuses j'ai préféré la six
Je sais pourtant que Samantha a des délires annexes
Ses petites socks
Me mettent en erex
Elle me suck
De mes cinq petites pisseuses j'ai préféré la six
J'les avais limées limées limite jusqu'à l'intox
Ses petites socks
Me mettent en erex
Et je la fuck

The Dangling Conversation
The Dangling Conversation
Composer(s): Paul Simon
First release by: Simon and Garfunkel - 1966
Covered by multiple other artists
It's a still life water color
Of a now late afternoon
As the sun shines through the curtained lace
And shadows wash the room
And we sit and drink our coffee
Couched in our indifference
Like shells upon the shore
You can hear the ocean roar
In the dangling conversation
And the superficial sighs
Are the borders of our lives
And you read your Emily Dickinson
And I my Robert Frost
And we note our place with bookmarkers
That measure what we've lost
Like a poem poorly written
We are verses out of rhythm
Couplets out of rhyme
In syncopated time
Lost in the dangling conversation
And the superficial sighs
Are the borders of our lives
Yes, we speak of things that matter
With words that must be said
"Can analysis be worthwhile?"
"Is the theater really dead?"
And how the room is softly faded
And I only kiss your shadow
I cannot feel your hand
You're a stranger now unto me
Lost in the dangling conversation
And the superficial sighs
In the borders of our lives

Cariño de siempre te ofrezco sincero
hoy que quiso el cielo darme la fortuna de volverte a ver
El tiempo ha pasado y yo soy el mismo
vivo enamorado del dulce recuerdo de tu querer
Nunca habrá reproches que empañen la dicha
la dicha sublime de sentirte mía por segunda vez
Cariño de siempre hoy vengo a pedirte
y con toda el alma cariño de siempre espero de ti
Nunca habrá reproches que empañen la dicha
la dicha sublime de sentirte mía por segunda vez
Cariño de siempre hoy vengo a pedirte
y con toda el alma cariño de siempre espero de ti

(One day, two days, three, four, five)
A-that's how long that she's been gone
And that's how long I've cried
Five days, five days
Since you walked out the door
Won't you please come home
I couldn't stand five more
Well the first day after she left me
I laughed and told my friends
That she'd be back before
The sun is settin' low again
Five days, five days
Since you walked out the door
Won't you please come home
I couldn't stand five more
Well, the second day after she left me
I started to have my doubts
I wondered if she was comin' back
or Really had checked out
Five days, five days
Since you walked out the door
Won't you please come home
I couldn't stand five more
(One, two, three, four, five days more)
Well, the third day after she left me
I started to watch the door
Before the day was over
I began to walk the floor
Five days, five days
Since you walked out the door
Won't you please come home
I couldn't stand five more
Well the fourth day after she left me
I really began to sweat
She should have been back days ago
But she ain't got back yet
Five days, five days
Since you walked out the door
Won't you please come home
I couldn't stand five more
(One, two, three, four, five days more)

She dashed by me in painted on jeans
And all heads turned 'cause she was the dream
In the blink of an eye I knew her number and her name yeah
Ah she said I was the tiger she wanted to tame

And our hearts they beat as one
No more love on the run

Electric eyes that you can't ignore
And passion burns you like never before
I was in search of a good time
Just running my game
Love was the furthest
Furthest from my mind

Hi diddle, diddle, my baby's okay
Ask me a riddle and what does she say?
Fit as a fiddle and ready for love!

The Damned
The Damned
Composer(s): Rod Swenson
Performer(s): Plasmatics; The Coup de Grace
Black visions from the satellite sky
deaf ears hear not their cries
fat jackals howl at the moon
flies buzzing playing death's tune
night ends but the sun it don't rise
tombs open and the dead they will rise
black market buys your soul real cheap
no escaping what you sow you will reap
prisoners of the damned
find another land
planet of the lost
land of fire and frost
prisoners of the dead
fear the unknown dread
tidal waves at sea
set the serpents free
coup d'état on a global scale
opposition locked up in jail
domination the goons are the boss
human race nailed to a cross

Caribbean
Caribbean
Composer(s): Mitchell Torok
Performer(s): Mitchell Torok
and multiple other artists
Oh, have you ever been down to Haiti
When the summer sun was sinkin' low
There's nothin' but romance just everwhere you glance
And the native hearts are all aglow
But when the Cuban Queen comes upon the scene
They all stare like a statue out of stone
And when they realize what's before their eyes
The other girls are left all alone
Down in the Caribbean it's not a dream you're seein'
When you get a glimpse of the lady with the charm
But from miles away you can see her sway
To the beat of the Cuban Conga line that forms
Up in a tree so high, way up in the sky
Sits a wide eyed monkey on a limb
He wonders why the people go to so much trouble
Just to try and be like him
He doesn't understand that it's a lady's hand
That makes a heart feel so sublime
But before too long he starts to sing the song
And then he gets in the Conga line
Down in the Caribbean it's not a dream you're seein'
When you get a glimpse of the lady with the charm
But from miles away you can see her sway
To the beat of the Cuban Conga line that forms
Columbus searched for spices
But he missed the nicest part of the Caribbean
He didn't see the charms and the open arms
It was the gold that he was seein'
But I'm glad he missed the sweetest thing I've kissed
'Cause we're on our honeymoon
I'm so sorry Chris to talk about you like this
But you were five hundred years too soon
Down in the Caribbean it's not a dream you're seein'
When you get a glimpse of the lady with the charm
But from miles away you can see her sway
To the beat of the Cuban Conga line that forms

Performer(s): Loretta Lynn;
and various other artists
You've been makin' your brags around town
that you've been a lovin' with my man
But the man I love when he picks up trash
he puts it in a garbage can
And that's what you look like to me
and what I see is a pity
You'd better close your face
and stay out of my way
If you don't wanta go to Fist City
If you don't wanna go to Fist City
you'd better detour round my town
'Cause I'll grab you by the hair of the head
and I'll lift you off of the ground
I'm not a sayin' my baby is a saint
'Cause he ain't
And that he won't cat around with a kitty
I'm here to tell you gal to lay off of my man
if you don't wanna go to Fist City
Come on and tell me what you told my friends
if you think you're brave enough
And I'll show you what a real woman is
since you think you're hot stuff
You'll bite off more than you can chew
if you get too cute or witty
You better move your feet if you don't wanna eat
a meal that's called Fist City
If you don't wanna go to Fist City
you'd better detour round my town
'Cause I'll grab you by the hair of the head
and I'll lift you off of the ground
I'm not a sayin' my baby is a saint
'Cause he ain't
And that he won't cat around with a kitty
I'm here to tell you gal to lay off of my man
if you don't wanna go to Fist City
I'm here to tell you gal to lay off of my man
you don't wanna go to Fist City
