Rainy Days And Mondays


Rainy Days And Mondays
Composer(s): Paul Williams; Roger Nichols
Performer(s): The Carpenters;
and various other artists



Talkin' to myself and feelin' old
Sometimes I'd like to quit
Nothing ever seems to fit
Hangin' around
Nothing to do but frown
Rainy Days and Mondays always get me down.

What I've got they used to call the blues
Nothin' is really wrong
Feelin' like I don't belong
Walkin' around
Some kind of lonely clown
Rainy Days and Mondays always get me down.

Funny but it seems I always wind up here with you
Nice to know somebody loves me
Funny but it seems that it's the only thing to do
Run and find the one who loves me.

What I feel has come and gone before
No need to talk it out
We know what it's all about
Hangin' around
Nothing to do but frown
Rainy Days and Mondays always get me down

Luta É Alegria


Luta É Alegria
Composer(s): Vasco Duarte - Jel
First performance by: Homens Da Luta - 2011



Por vezes dás contigo desanimado
Por vezes dás contigo a desconfiar
Por vezes dás contigo sobressaltado
Por vezes dás contigo a desesperar

De noite ou de dia
A Luta é alegria
E o povo avança
É na rua a gritar

De pouco vale o cinto sempre apertado
De pouco vale andar a lamuriar
De pouco vale um ar sempre carregado
De pouco vale a raiva p´ra te ajudar

De noite ou de dia
A Luta é alegria
E o povo avança
É na rua a gritar

Traz o pão, traz o queijo, traz o vinho
Vem o velho, vem o novo e o menino

Traz o pão, traz o queijo, traz o vinho
Vem o velho, vem o novo e o menino

Vem celebrar esta situação
E vamos cantar contra a reacção

Vem celebrar esta situação
E vamos cantar contra a reacção

Traz o pão, traz o queijo, traz o vinho
Vem o velho, vem o novo e o menino

Traz o pão, traz o queijo, traz o vinho
Vem o velho, vem o novo e o menino

Não falta quem te avise: vai com cuidado
Não falta quem te queira mandar calar
Não falta quem te deixe ressabiado
Não falta quem te venda o próprio ar

De noite ou de dia
A Luta é alegria
E o povo avança
É na rua a gritar

Traz o pão, traz o queijo, traz o vinho
Vem o velho, vem o novo e o menino

Traz o pão, traz o queijo, traz o vinho
Vem o velho, vem o novo e o menino

Vem celebrar esta situação
E vamos cantar contra a reacção

Vem celebrar esta situação
E vamos cantar contra a reacção

Vem celebrar esta situação
E vamos cantar contra a reacção

Vem celebrar esta situação
E vamos cantar contra a reacção

Traz o pão, traz o queijo, traz o vinho
Vem o velho, vem o novo e o menino

Traz o pão, traz o queijo, traz o vinho
Vem o velho, vem o novo e o menino

Chelsea Morning


Chelsea Morning Composer(s): Joni Mitchell First release by: Dave Van Ronk and The Hudson Dusters - 1968 Covered by multiple other artists



Woke up, it was a Chelsea morning, and the first thing that I heard
Was a song outside my window, and the traffic wrote the words
It came a-reeling up like Christmas bells, and rapping up like pipes and drums

Oh, won't you stay
We'll put on the day
And we'll wear it 'till the night comes

Woke up, it was a Chelsea morning, and the first thing that I saw
Was the sun through yellow curtains, and a rainbow on the wall
Blue, red, green and gold to welcome you, crimson crystal beads to beckon

Oh, won't you stay
We'll put on the day
There's a sun show every second

Now the curtain opens on a portrait of today
And the streets are paved with passersby
And pigeons fly
And papers lie
Waiting to blow away

Woke up, it was a Chelsea morning, and the first thing that I knew
There was milk and toast and honey and a bowl of oranges, too
And the sun poured in like butterscotch and stuck to all my senses
Oh, won't you stay
We'll put on the day
And we'll talk in present tenses

When the curtain closes and the rainbow runs away
I will bring you incense owls by night
By candlelight
By jewel-light
If only you will stay
Pretty baby, won't you
Wake up, it's a Chelsea morning

Well, they'll stone ya when you're trying to be so good
They'll stone ya just a-like they said they would

Then they'll stone ya when you're there all alone
But I would not feel so all alone
Everybody must get stoned

Well, they'll stone ya when you're walkin' 'long the street
They'll stone ya when you're tryin' to keep your seat
They'll stone ya when you're walkin' on the floor
They'll stone ya when you're walkin' to the door
But I would not feel so all alone
Everybody must get stoned

They'll stone ya when you're at the breakfast table
They'll stone ya when you are young and able
They'll stone ya when you're tryin' to make a buck
They'll stone ya and then they'll say, "good luck"
Tell ya what, I would not feel so all alone
Everybody must get stoned

Well, they'll stone you and say that it's the end
Then they'll stone you and then they'll come back again
They'll stone you when you're riding in your car
They'll stone you when you're playing your guitar
Yes, but I would not feel so all alone
Everybody must get stoned

Well, they'll stone you when you walk all alone
They'll stone you when you are walking home
They'll stone you and then say you are brave
They'll stone you when you are set down in your grave
But I would not feel so all alone
Everybody must get stoned

Chelsea Monday


Chelsea Monday Composer(s): Derek William Dick - Mark Kelly - Mick Pointer - Steve Rothery - Pete Trewavas Performer(s): Marillion



Catalogue princess, apprentice seductress
Hiding in her cellophane world in glitter town
Awaiting the prince in his white capri
Dynamic young tarzan courts the bedsit queen

She's playing the actress in this bedroom scene
She's learning her lines from glossy magazines
Stringing all her pearls from her childhood dreams
Auditioning for the leading role on the silver screen

Patience my tinsel angel, patience my perfumed child
One day they really love you, you'll charm them with that smile
But for now it's just another chelsea monday
Chelsea monday

Tju
In the city of dreamers...
Drifting with her incense in the labyrinth of london
Playing games with faces in the neon wonderland
Perform to scattered shadows on the shattered cobbled aisles
Would she dare recite soliloquies at the risk of stark applause
To chelsea monday

She'll pray for endless sundays as she enters saffron sunsets
Conjure phantom lovers from the tattered shreds of dawn
Fulfilled and yet forgotten the st. tropez mirage
Fragrant aphrodisiac, the withered tuberose
Of chelsea monday
Sweet chelsea monday

Patience my tinsel angel, patience my perfumed child
One day they really love you, you'll charm them with that smile
But for now it's just another chelsea monday
Sweet chelsea monday

Voice: hello john, did you see the standard about four hours ago?
Fished a young chick out of the old father
Blond hair, blue eyes
She said she wanted to be an actress or something
Nobody knows where she came from, where she was going
Funny thing was she had a smile on her face
She was smiling
What a waste!

Catalogue princess, apprentice seductress
Buried in her cellophane world in glitter town
Of chelsea monday
Chelsea monday
She was only dreaming

Rainy Day People


Rainy Day People
Composer(s): Gordon Lightfoot
Performer(s): Gordon Lightfoot; Albert Au;
Laurie Bower; Larry Rice; Mac Wiseman



Rainy day people always seem to know when it's time to call
Rainy day people don't talk
they just listen till they've heard it all
Rainy day lovers don't lie when they tell you
they've been down like you
Rainy day people don't mind if you're cryin' a tear or two

If you get lonely, all you really need is that rainy day love
Rainy day people all know there's no sorrow
they can't rise above
Rainy day lovers don't love any others
that would not be kind
Rainy day people all know how it hangs
on their peace of mind

Rainy day lovers don't lie when they tell you
they've been down there, too
Rainy day people don't mind if you're cryin' a tear or two

Rainy day people always seem to know
when you're feelin' blue
I steps and stutters around in the gutters
sometimes need one, too
Take it or leave it or try to believe it
If you've been down too long
Rainy day lovers don't hide love inside, they just pass it on

Rainy day lovers don't hide love inside, they just pass it on

Coming Home (Sigurjón's Friends)


Coming Home
Composer(s): Sigurjón Brink - Thorunn Clausen
First performance by: Sigurjón’s Friends - 2011



Some say I’m a bit of a fool
sitting on a hill and counting raindrops
Keep thinking I just wanna go
to the peaceful place I know
that I call home

But oh oh oh it’s time to go, I’ll see you, I’ll see you soon

'Cause I can’t wait for tomorrow
to say the things I wanna say
your smile will always lead my way
I can’t wait, I’m coming soon
I just wanna see your face again

Some say I’m a bit of a fool
Driving down the road I stop to listen
I hear your laughter in the trees
your whisper in the breeze
my love is you

But oh oh oh it’s time to go, I’ll see you, I’ll see you soon

I can’t wait for tomorrow
to say the things I wanna say
your smile will always lead my way
I can’t wait, I’m coming soon
I just wanna see your face again

'Cause no one, knows his where or when
When my time on earth comes to an end
then I’ll find you and I know that you will be my love again

I can’t wait for tomorrow
to say the things I wanna say
your smile will always lead my way
I can’t wait, I’m coming soon
I just wanna see your face again

Cause I can’t wait for tomorrow
to say the things I wanna say
your smile will always lead my way
I can’t wait, I’m coming home to you
I just wanna see your face again
I’m coming home

Chelsea Girls


Chelsea Girls Composer(s): Sterling Morrison - Lou Reed First release by: Nico - 1967 Covered by multiple other artists



Here's Room 506
It's enough to make you sick
Bridget's all wrapped up in foil
You wonder if she can uncoil
Here they come now
See them run now
Here they come now
Chelsea Girls

Here's Room 115
Filled with S & M queens
Magic marker row
You wonder just high they go

Here they come now
See them run now
Here they come now
Chelsea Girls

Here's Pope dear Ondine
Rona's treated him so mean
She wants another scene
She wants to be a human being

Here they come now
See them run now
Here they come now
Chelsea Girls

Pepper she's having fun
She thinks she's some man's son
Her perfect love's don't last
Her future died in someone's past

Here they come now
See them run now
Here they come now
Chelsea Girls

Dear Ingrid's found her lick
She's turned another trick
Her treats and times revolve
She's got problems to be solved

Here they come now
See them run now
Here they come now
Chelsea Girls

Poor Mary, she's uptight
She can't turn out her light
She rolled Susan in a ball
And now she can't see her at all

Here they come now
See them run now
Here they come now
Chelsea Girls

Dropout, she's in a fix
Amphetamine has made her sick
White powder in the air
She's got no bones and can't be scared

Here they come now
See them run now
Here they come now
Chelsea Girls

Here comes Johnny Bore
He collapsed on the floor
They shot him up with milk
And when he died sold him for silk

Here they come now
See them run now
Here they come now
Chelsea Girls

Here they come now
See them run now
Here they come now
Chelsea Girls

Rainmaker, rainmaker
The sky is gray just by the touch of your hand
Rainmaker, rainmaker
Make me some rain, make all my crops grow tall

Rainmaker, rainmaker
The sky is gray, the ground is so hard
It's been cracked by the sun
Rainmaker, you know my work's never done

Friday, my night
Flashing street lights
Let's get this old town dancing
Leave your troubles behind

Put your hands up
Let the magic take over your heart
Join us you'll have a good time, love is here to stay

Stop the world for a moment
Shine like a comet
Nothing can stop you now

Stop the world for a moment
Shine like a comet
In our musical galaxy

We are all just shadows in the moonlight
A thousand drums are beating
Till the break of day

Put your hands up
Let the magic take over your heart
Join us you'll have a good time, the party of your life

Just keep moving and dancing and dancing and dancing
Music will heal your soul
Let's move to the rhythms and beats all around
Until we loose control

Raining On The Rock


Raining On The Rock
Composer(s): John Williamson
Performer(s): Rolf Harris; John Williamson



Pastel red to burgundy and spinifex to gold
We've just come out of the Mulga where the plains forever roll
And Albert Namatjira has painted all the scenes
And a shower has changed the lustre of our land

And it's raining on the Rock
In a beautiful country
And I'm proud to travel this big land
As an Aborigine
And it's raining on the Rock
What an almighty sight to see
And I'm wishing and I'm dreaming that you were here with me

Everlasting daisies and a beautiful desert rose
Where does their beauty come from heaven knows
I could ask the wedge-tail but he's away too high
I wonder if he understands it's wonderful to fly

It cannot be described with a picture
The mesmerising colours of the Olgas
Or the grandeur of the Rock
Uluru has power!

And it's raining on the Rock
In a beautiful country
And I'm proud to travel this big land
As an Aborigine
And it's raining on the Rock
What an almighty sight to see
And I'm wishing and I'm dreaming that you were here with me

Stand By


Stand By
Composer(s): Radiosa Romani
First performance by: Senit - 2011



Oh, the sea

Waves of eternity, waves of serenity
As I stare through them all around me just dies
Tonight I will pretend there's no more time?
Let's lock our doors and leave this endless world outside

But if you don't mind, I will be here
Holding back those years that pass us by
And in a natural high, you hold my hand, we'll take a breath
So tonight, if you don't mind, I will stand by

Oh, this life, something so beautiful but hard in the same time
Taught me could be gone in a blink of an eye
Tonight can we pretend there's no more time?
Let's lock our doors and leave this endless world outside

If you don't mind, I will be here
Holding back those years that pass us by

And in a natural high, you hold my hand, we'll take a breath
So tonight, if you don't mind, I will stand by
(I will be here) Holding back, holding back
(Years that pass us by)
And in a natural high you'll hold my hand, we'll take a breath

So tonight, if you don't mind, I will stand by

Cheeseburger In Paradise


Cheeseburger In Paradise Composer(s): Jimmy Buffett Performer(s): Jimmy Buffett and multiple other artists



Tried to amend my carnivorous habits
Made it nearly seventy days
Losin' weight without speed, eatin' sunflower seeds
Drinkin' lots of carrot juice and soakin' up rays
But at night I'd have these wonderful dreams
Some kind of sensuous treat
Not zucchini, fettucini or bulgar wheat
But a big warm bun and a huge hunk of meat

Cheeseburger in paradise
Heaven on earth with an onion slice
Not too particular, not too precise
I'm just a cheeseburger in paradise

Heard about the old time sailor men
They eat the same thing again and again
Warm beer and bread they said could raise the dead
Well it reminds me of the menu at a Holiday Inn
But times have changed for sailors these days
When I'm in port I get what I need
Not just Havanas or bananas or daiquiris
But that American creation on which I feed

Cheeseburger in paradise
Medium rare with mustard be nice
Heaven on earth with an onion slice
I'm just a cheeseburger in paradise

I like mine with lettuce and tomato
Heinz 57 and French fried potatoes
Big kosher pickle and a cold draft beer
Well good God almighty which way do I steer for my

Cheeseburger in paradise
Makin' the best of every virtue and vice
Worth every damn bit of sacrifice to get a
Cheeseburger in paradise

I need a cheeseburger in paradise
I'm just a cheeseburger in paradise

The sun is out - the sky is blue
there’s not a cloud to spoil the view
but it’s raining - raining in my heart

The weather man says clear today
he doesn’t know you’ve gone away
and it’s raining - raining in my heart

Oh, misery - misery
what’s gonna become of me

I tell blues they musn’t show
but soon these tears are bound to flow
cause it’s raining - raining in my heart

But it’s raining - raining in my heart

And it’s raining - raining in my heart

Love me like I love you
One life it's all we got to live

This time it's all up to you
You can love yourself love
It's all up to you you can love yourself love

Cheese Cake


Cheese Cake Composer(s): Joe Perry - Steven Tyler Performer(s): Aerosmith



I met a babe in a backseat drive-in
Back in the saddle she'd sit
Pulled on the reins just to keep me risin'
She loved to chomp at the bit
Daddy do it, ooh, just do it
Daddy do it, please let me see
Do it, please just do it daddy
Do it, do it, drivin' me crazy
She always walks with her eyes down on her bootlace
She lives to give it away
She don't believe in the right time or the wrong place
She's always liable to say
(cheese cake) looser than her sister
(cheese cake) mmm, her sugar gets me high
She knows I can't resist her (cheese cake)
Got my fingers in her pie (cheese cake)
(cheese cake) sneakin' out the back door
(cheese cake) rollin' down the lawn
Everybody's kissed her (cheese cake)
At the crack of dawn (cheese cake)

Oh why do you leave me honey babe
Oh why do you leave me honey babe
Oh why do you leave me
When you know it's gonna beat me
Oh why do you leave me honey baby

Oh it's rainin' on the mountain, now my love

And there's sunshine in the valley
But I'm livin' on the mountain, now my love

I'm leavin' in the mornin' for my home
'Cause my honey now is gone
Always leavin' me alone
And I'm leavin' in the mornin' for my home

Oh it's rainin' on the mountain, now my love
It's rainin' on the mountain, now my love
It's rainin' on the mountain
And there's sunshine in the valley
But I'm livin' on the mountain, now my love

Da Da Dam


Da Da Dam
Composer(s): Axel Ehnström
First performance by: Paradise Oskar - 2011



Peter is smart, he knows each European country by heart
He likes to sit under an apple tree on his yard
And wait for an apple to fall When Peter is nine, his teacher tells him that this planet is dying
That someone needs to put an end to it all
And so when Peter comes home, he tells his mom

I'm going out in the world to save our planet
And I ain't coming back until she's saved
I'll walk my way to see the king and parliament
If they don't help, I'll do it by myself
I don't wanna be...
Dadadam dadadam dadadada dadada dadam...

Peter is young, he tries to talk, but no one listens to him
Everybody's busy living and dying, not thinking about what they're doing
But look at the boy who went out in the world to save our planet
And he ain't coming back until she's saved
He walked his way to see the king and parliament
But they all turned their heads and walked away, singing

Dadadam dadadam dadadada dadada dadam...
Dadadam dadadam dadadada dadada dadam...

And now I'm going out in the world to save our planet
And I ain't coming back until she's saved
I'm walking in the footsteps that young Peter made
And everybody is welcome to join, and sing with me

Dadadam dadadam dadadada dadada dadam...
Dadadam dadadam dadadada dadada dadam...
Dadadam dadadam dadadada dadada dadam...
