Footprints In The Snow


Footprints In The Snow
Composer(s): Greg Lake
Performer(s): Emerson, Lake & Palmer



First time when you looked at me
You tried to hide but I could see
A special beauty in your eyes
Passion flying like a spark
Like an arrow to the mark
I feel it sting my jealousy

Before you know there's footprints in the snow

Desire like a river flows
Where it comes from no one knows
Love just like a flower grows
And then God only knows
It comes down like guillotine

Now I feel the rain
of love torn by a hurricane
One night eclipsed the sun
How deep still waters run

How deep they go like footprints in the snow

Take my love into your brest
Commit my spirit to the test
You will see him like a knight
His armour gleams
We'll fly upon his angel's wings
Above the clouds in rainbow rings
We can sail a ship of dreams

Chorus:
If you will take my hand
We can cross this desert made of sand
We can break in through the ice
And feel the wind of paradise
We'll feel it blow our footprints in the snow

Anytime you feel alone
Just raise your hand, pick up the phone
Take in my number, there I'll be
If one day your stars won't shine
I will give you some of mine
Cause they could fall so easily

We both know there's footprints in the snow

Footloose


Footloose
Composer(s): Kenny Loggins; Dean Pitchford
Performer(s): Kenny Loggins;
and various other artists



I´ve been working so hard
I´m punching my card
Eight hours for what?
Oh, tell me what I got
I´ve got this feeling
That times´s just holding me down
I´ll hit the ceiling or else
I´ll tear up this town

Now I gotta cut loose
1-Footloose, kick off the Sunday shoes
Please, Louise, pull me off of my knees
Jack, get Mack, come on before we crack
Lose your blues, everybody cut footloose...

You´re playing so cool, obeying every rule
Deep way down in your heart
You´re burning yearning for the sun
Somebody to tell you that life ain´t passing you by
I´m trying to tell you
It will if you don´t even try
You´ll get by if you´d only

Cut loose, footloose, kick off the Sunday shoes
Oo-wee Marie shake it, shake it for me
Woah, Milo come on, come on let´s go
Lose your blues, everybody cut footloose...

You got to turn me around...and put your
Feet on the ground, gotta take the hold of all
I´m turning loose

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

Playing world cup in the street
Making magic with my feet
I'm spotted by a scout
"Bring your boots, you'll turn out"
Put on the shirt for my first game
And scored a hat-trick won the fame
Local boy is hero gets a contract
lots of zeros

I'm captain I am class
I am the genius of the grass
Showing style and skill and grace
Wonder goals and lightning pace

To lead the team and win the cup
1-0 down, 2-1 up

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

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!!

'Cause You Love


'Cause You Love 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


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

So let's get married purty soon

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
