Flower Of Sweet Strabane
Flower Of Sweet Strabane
(Traditional)
Performer(s): Brian Dullaghan
and multiple other artists
If I were King of Ireland and all things at my will
I'd roam through all creations new fortunes to find still
And the fortune I would seek the most you all must understand
Is to win the heart of Martha, the flower of sweet Strabane
Her cheeks they are a rosy red, her hair golden brown
And o'er her lily white shoulders it carelessly falls down
She's one of the loveliest creatures of the whole creation planned
And my heart is captivated by the flower of sweet Strabane
If I had you lovely Martha away in Innisowen
Or in some lonesome valley in the wild woods of Tyrone
I would use my whole endeavour and I'd try to work my plan
For to gain my prize and to feast my eyes on the flower of sweet Strabane
Oh, I'll go o'er the Lagan down by the steam ships tall
I'm sailing for Amerikay across the briny foam
My boat is bound for Liverpool down by the Isle of Man
So I'll say farewell, God bless you, my flower of sweet Strabane

Cavalo Ferro
Cavalo Ferro
Composer(s): Raimundo Fagner - Ricardo Bezerra
Performer(s): Raimundo Fagner
Montado num cavalo ferro
Vivi campos verdes me enterro
Em terras tropicamericanas
Tropicamericanas tropicamericanas
E no meio de tudo num lugar ainda mudo
Concreto, ferro, surdo, cego
Por dentro deste velho, deste velho
Deste velho mundo
Pulsando num segundo letal
No planalto central
Onde se divide, se divide, se devide
O bem e o mal, mal, mal, mal, mal
Vou achar o meu caminho de volta
Pode ser certo, pode ser direto
Caminho certo sem perigo, sem perigo
Sem perigo, sem perigo fatal
Caminho certo sem perigo, sem perigo
Sem perigo, sem perigo fatal

Football Widow
Football Widow
Composer(s): Zora Young
Performer(s): Zora Young
I'm a football widow, and you a couch potato
Hand me a sexy tomato
Wanna go out, dance along by the two
Take me out, no tellin' what I might do
I'm gonna wear pink rollers in my hair
Fluffy house shoes with a dog on the toe too
You don't take me out, no tellin' what I might do
Up off of that couch, shave, shower and dress
You gonna take me out tonight, there'll be no rest
If you don't take me out, no tellin' what I might do
I wear pink rollers in my hair,
Fluffy house shoes with a dog on the toe too
Oh baby I got the football widow blues too
You better take me out, no tellin' what I might do

Flower Of Scotland
Flower Of Scotland
Composer(s): Roy Williamson
Performer(s): The Corries
and multiple other artists
O flower of Scotland
When will we see
Your like again
That fought and died for
Your wee bit hill and glen
And stood against him
Proud Edward's army
And sent him homeward
Tae think again
The hills are bare now
And autumn leaves lie thick and still
O'er land that is lost now
Which those so dearly held
That stood against him
Proud Edward's army
And sent him homeward
Tae think again
Those days are passed now
And in the past they must remain
But we can still rise now
And be the nation again
That stood against him
Proud Edward's army
And sent him homeward
Tae think again
O flower of Scotland
When will we see
Your like again
That fought and died for
Your wee bit hill and glen
And stood against him
Proud Edward's army
And sent him homeward
Tae think again
The hills are bare now
And autumn leaves lie thick and still
O'er land that is lost now
Which those so dearly held
O flower of Scotland
When will we see
Your like again
That fought and died for
Your wee bit hill and glen
And stood against him
Proud Edward's army
And sent him homeward
Tae think again

Cavalgada
Cavalgada
Composer(s): Erasmo Carlos - Roberto Carlos
First release by: Roberto Carlos - 1977
Covered by multiple other artists
Vou cavalgar por toda a noite
Por uma estrada colorida
Usar meus beijos como açoite
E a minha mão mais atrevida
Vou me agarrar aos seus cabelos
Pra não cair do seu galope
Vou atender aos meus apelos
Antes que o dia nos sufoque
Vou me perder de madrugada
Pra te encontrar no meu abraço
Depois de toda cavalgada
Vou me deitar no seu cansaço
Sem me importar se nesse instante
Sou dominado ou se domino
Vou me sentir como um gigante
Ou nada mais do que um menino
Estrelas mudam de lugar
Chegam mais perto só pra ver
E ainda brilham de manhã
Depois do nosso adormecer
E na grandeza desse instante
O amor cavalga sem saber
E na beleza dessa hora
O sol espera pra nascer

And scored a hat-trick won the fame
Local boy is hero gets a contract
lots of zeros

The Flies Crawled Up The Window
The Flies Crawled Up The Window
Composer(s): Douglas Furber - Vivian Ellis
Performer(s): Vivian Ellis
The flies crawled up the window
It’s all they have to do
They went up by the thousand
And came down two by two
The flies crawled up the window
They said we love to roam
So once more up the window
And then we’ll all go home
The flies crawled up the window
They said let’s have a race
We backed a fly called Oswald
To win and for a place
At five to one he started
He soon got in his stride
He started crawling sideways
And he got disqualified
The flies crawled up the window
In sunshine and in rain
They do not seek for pleasure
They much prefer the “pane”
And if those flies annoy you
Then here’s what I advise
Just don’t have any windows
And then you’ll have no flies

She said "Man, all you need"
All you need, all you need, all you need
All you need is a mojo hand

Get myself a mojo hand
And everything will be all right

Fools Rush In
Fools Rush In
Composer(s): Johnny Mercer; Rube Bloom
Performer(s): Brook Benton;
and various other artists
"Romance is a game for fools"
I used to say
A game I thought I'd never play
"Romance is a game for fools"
I said and grinned
Then you passed by
And here am I
Throwing caution to the wind
Fools rush in where angels fear to tread
And so I come to you, my love, my heart above my head
Though I see the danger there
If there's a chance for me, then I don't care
Mm-mm-mm-mm
Fools rush in where wise men never go
But wise men never fall in love, so how are they to know?
When we met, I felt my life begin
So open up your heart and let this fool rush in
Fools rush in where wise men never, never, never go
Eh, but wise men never fall in love, so how are they to know?
Ahh, when we met, girl, I felt my life begin
So open up your heart and let this fool rush in
Just open up your heart and let this fool rush on in
Just open up your heart because I-I-I-I-I-I-I am coming in
Open up your heart and let this fool rush in!!

Composer(s): Dash Crofts - Jim Seals
Performer(s): Seals & Crofts
This ol' world's a-gettin' heavy
these old times are gettin' hard
You might see a-somethin' happen if you look out in your yard
You might see the old world vanish, you might see the sun go down
You must give yourself a lesson, stop and turn yourself around
It's gotta be soon
So let it cool awhile
Slow down, easy style
And you'll be doin' alright, 'cause you love
This ol' world it needs a-paintin', these old walls are gettin' thin
There's a lot that needs a-fixin', you can help us all begin
We'll remove the rust and tarnish from the hearts of everyone
Hand in hand we'll stand together, take a look at what we've done
It's gotta be soon
So let it cool awhile
Slow down, easy style
And you'll be doin' alright, 'cause you love
The ol' world's a-gettin' heavy, these old times are gettin' hard
You might see a-somethin' happen if you look out in your yard
You might see the old world vanish, you might see the sun go down
You must give yourself a lesson, stop and turn yourself around
It's gotta be soon
So let it cool awhile
Slow down, easy style
And you'll be doin' alright, 'cause you love

Fools Fall In Love
Composer(s): Jerry Leiber; Mike Stoller
Performer(s): The Drifters;
and various other artists
Well, fools fall in love in a hurry
Fools give their hearts much too soon
Just play them two bars of Stardust
Just hang out one silly moon, oh, oh
They've got their love torches burning
When they should be playing it cool
I used to laugh but now I understand
Shake the hand of a brand new fool
Well, fools fall in love
Just like schoolgirls
Blinded by rose colored dreams
They build their castles on wishes
With only rainbows for beams, oh, oh
They're making plans for the future
When they should be right back in school
I used to laugh but now I understand
Shake the hand of a brand new fool
Oh, oh, they're making plans for the future
When they should be right back in school
I used to laugh but now I understand
Shake the hand of a brand new fool

Fools
Fools
Composer(s): Brown; Larry Wallis
Performer(s): Motörhead
This is a song for all you managers
and agents out there
Are ya listening? Good!
They take your money, break your soul
They say it's only rock 'n' roll
They think they're cool to wheel and deal
Without a thought to how we feel
They pick you up and drop you flat
Then tell you life can be like that
You blew it all the day you signed
Your stupid name on some dotted line
We hate the men, who make the rules
The ones who always try so hard to make us look like Fools!
They say we need them it ain't true
The music's down to me and you
We play their games, play real nice
We gotta hear their dumb advice
We hate the men, who make the rules
The ones who always try so hard to make us look like Fools!
So many lies, they get confused
You start to feel you're being used
If ten percent is all they take
What happens to all the bread you make?
Every day it gets a little harder
Just to keep on keeping on
Do we really need all this bullshit
So long now all the thrill has gone
We hate the men, who make the rules
The ones who always try so hard to make us look like Fools!
It's so hard to make us look like you!

The Flame
The Flame
Composer(s): Nicholas Lynedoch Graham - Bobby Mitchell
First release by: Cheap Trick - 1988
Another night slowly closes in and I feel so lonely
Touching heat freezing on my skin I pretend you still hold me
I'm going crazy, I'm losing sleep
I'm in too far, I'm in way too deep over you
I can't believe you're gone
You were the first, you'll be the last
Wherever you go I'll be with you
Whatever you want I'll give it to you
Whenever you need someone to lay your heart and head upon
Remember after the fire after all the rain
I will be the flame
I will be the flame
Watching shadows move across the wall feels so fright'ning
I wanna run to you, I wanna call, but I've been hit by lightning
Just can't stand up for falling apart
Can't see through this veil across my heart over you
You'll always be the one
You were the first, you'll be the last
Wherever you go I'll be with you
Whatever you want I'll give it to you
Whenever you need someone to lay your heart and head upon
Remember after the fire after all the rain
I will be the flame
I will be the flame
I'm going crazy, I'm losing sleep
I'm in way too deep over you
You'll always be the one
You were the first, you'll be the last
Wherever you go I'll be with you
Whatever you want I'll give it to you
Whenever you need someone to lay your heart and head upon
Remember after the fire after all the rain
I will be the flame
I will be the flame

'Cause I Love You
((French Version: Du Matin Jusqu'au Soir (Edith Piaf))
Composer(s): Eddie Constantine - Edith Piaf - Robert Chauvigny
Performer(s): Edith Piaf
All day long
Life's a song
Just can't do any wrong
'cause I love you
Just a glance
When we dance
And I fall in a trance
'cause I love you
It's like floating on air
With no worry or care
I'm in Heaven enchanted, I swear!
You make fear
Disappear
When I feel you are near
'cause I love you
What a wonderful thrill
'cause I know that I will
Always love you
It may not be new
But believe me it's true
When I say "I love you"
All day long
Live's a song
All because I love you
All day long
Life's a song
Just can't do any wrong
'cause I love you
Just a glance
When we dance
And I fall in a trance
'cause I love you
It's like floating on air
With no worry or care
I'm in Heaven enchanted, I swear!
You make fear
Disappear
When I feel you are near
'cause I love you
What a wonderful thrill
'cause I know that I will
Always love you
It may not be new
But believe me it's true
When I say "I love you"
All day long
Live's a song
All because I love you

Foolish Questions
Foolish Questions
Composer(s): A. Baldwin Sloane; William Lee
Performer(s): Bill Haley;
and various other artists
Now you've all heard foolish questions
and no doubt you've wondered why
Some person will ask a foolish question and expect a sensible reply
Like when you take your girl some candy, say maybe just after tea
You notice how she'll grab it and then she'll say, "Is this for me?"
Foolish Questions! You can answer when you can
"No I bought this candy for your Ma or Pa, or for John the hired hand
"I just thought you'd like to see it. Now I'm gonna take it away"
Now wasn't that a foolish question? You'll hear `em ev'ry day
And then most every morning, there is someone `round the place
Who sees you take the shaving brush and lather up your face
And as you give the razor a preliminary wave
This fool will walk up and ask you, "Are you gonna take a shave?"
Foolish questions! Your answer is, I hope
"No! I ain't prepared for shavin', I just like the taste of soap!
I kinda like to take the shaving brush and paint myself this way"
Now wasn't that a foolish question? You'll hear `em ev'ry day!
Now then there's this fella who meets you on your way
And asks you why your all dressed up and listens while you say
That you just been returning from the funeral of poor old Uncle Ned
As soon as you have told him, he will say, "Is Ned dead?"
Foolish questions! You might as well reply
"No, he thought he'd have the funeral now. Then later on he'd die
You know Ned was always so original, he wanted it that way"
Now wasn't that a Foolish Question? You'll hear `em ev'ry day!
Now suppose the elevator guy should forget to close the door
And you should tumble down, oh say forty-seven floors
And when you reach the bottom and you're lying there inert
Some fool will stick his head down the shaft and holler, "Are you hurt?"
Foolish Questions! Your dying words are
"No! I was in an awful hurry and that elevator's just too slow
Usually saves a lot of time, you know, comin' down this way"
Now wasn't that a Foolish Question? You'll hear `em ev'ry day!
That was a Foolish Question! You'll hear `em ev'ry day!
