The Things That I Used To Do
Composer(s): Eddie "Guitar Slim" Jones
First release by: Eddie "Guitar Slim" Jones - 1953
Covered by multiple other artists
The things that I used to do
Lord, I won't do no more
The things that I used to do
Lord, I won't do no more
I used to set and hold your hand, Baby
Cried begging you not to go
I would search all night for you, Baby
Lord, and my search would always end in vain
I would search all night for you, Baby
Lord, and my search would always end in vain
But I knew all along, Darling
That you was hid out with your other man
I'm going to send you back to your mother, Baby
Lord, and I'm going back to my family, too
I'm going to send you back to your mother, Baby
Lord, and I'm going back to my family, too
'Cause nothing I do that please you, Baby
Lord, I just can't get along with you

Tango D'amor
Tango D'amor
Performer(s): Vicky Leandros
Der letzte Abend die letzten schönen Stunden
Der letzte Tango für uns zwei
Nimm mich in deine Arme laß mich vergessen
Wie weh der Abschied tut
Sag mir wir seh'n uns wieder halt mich ganz fest
Sonst verlier ich den Mut
Komm tanz mit mir unsern Tango d'amor
Ich bin verliebt wie noch niemals zuvor
Schön war für mich jede Stunde mit dir
Komm tanz noch einmal mit mir
Mit diesem Tango hat alles angefangen
Und nun hört alles damit auf
Aber ich will nicht weinen den wenn
Das Schicksal es ehrlich, es ehrlich mit uns meint
Weiß ich bald kommt die Stunde
Wo dieses Lied uns für immer vereint
Komm tanz mit mir unsern Tango d'amor
Ich bin verliebt wie noch niemals zuvor
Schön war für mich jede Stunde mit dir
Komm tanz noch einmal mit mir
Langsam verlöscht nun der Lichterglanz
Und das Bandoneon spielt uns den Abschiedstanz
Komm tanz mit mir unsern Tango d'amor
Ich bin verliebt wie noch niemals zuvor
Schön war für mich jede Stunde mit dir
Komm tanz noch einmal mit mir

Things That Dreams Are Made Of
Things That Dreams Are Made Of
Composer(s): Philip Oakey - Adrian Wright
First release by: The Human League - 1981
Covered by multiple other artists
Take time to see the wonders of the world
To see the things you've only ever heard of
Dream life the way you think it ought to be
See things you thought you'd never ever see
Take a cruise to China or a train to Spain
Go round the world again and again
Meet a girl on a boat meet a boy on a train
And fall in love without the pain
Everybody needs love and adventure
Everybody needs cash to spend
Everybody needs love and affection
Everybody needs two or three friends
These are the things
These are the things
The things that dreams are made of
These are the things
These are the things
The things that dreams are made of
Take a lift to the top of the Empire State
Take a drive across the Golden Gate
March, march, march across Red Square
Do all the things you've ever dared
Everybody needs love and adventure
Everybody needs cash to spend
Everybody needs love and affection
Everybody needs two or three friends
These are the things
These are the things
The things that dreams are made of
Like fun and money and food and love
And things you never thought of
These are the things
These are the things
The things that dreams are made of
New York, ice cream, TV, travel, good times
Norman Wisdom, Johnny, Joey, Dee Dee, good times
These are the things
These are the things
The things that dreams are made of
These are the things
These are the things
The things that dreams are made of
These are the things
These are the things
The things that dreams are made of...

Come On Home (And Sing The Blues To Daddy)
Composer(s): Ray Corbin
Performer(s): Bobby Bare;
Charley Pride; Wynn Stewart; Faron Young
Well, I hear that your new romance has faded
Just the way ours did sometime ago
Why, I've lost count of all the times I've waited
For you to tell me that you've missed me so
So come on home and sing the blues to daddy
When things ain't working out the way you planned
Yeah, come on home and sing the blues to daddy
Tell it all to one who understands
Just like a child who's found a brand new plaything
Each one is more fun than the one before
But there's a faithful one who's always waiting
To be picked up and kicked around some more
So come on home and sing the blues to daddy
When things ain't working out the way you planned
Yeah, come on home and sing the blues to daddy
Tell it all to one who understands
Yeah, come on home and sing the blues to daddy
When things ain't working out the way you planned
Yeah, come on home and sing the blues to daddy
Tell it all to one who understands...

River (Gentle Giant)
River
Composer(s): Kerry Minnear;
Derek Shulman; Phil Shulman; Ray Shulman
Performer(s): Gentle Giant
Touching the last of what is past
Moving silent water fell the first that comes
Slow and winding, flowing free
Peaceful music in its sound of distant drums
Trust the shallow virgin stream
Danger wild, beware the deeper it becomes
Moving highway, twisting byway
Can't turn back
Singing in the summer rain
Rain that's caught in its flow
Spreading, shining, silver lining
Gold on black
Echoes moods of the moon and sun
Sun that shines from below
Makes a soft and easy way
Left to choose, its path will always be a friend
Touch the last of what has past
Never idle river drifting to the end

The Things I Want To Hear
Performer(s): The Shirelles
You say you think I'm beautiful
You say you live for my touch
Tell me the things I want to hear
Don't you know you can never say too much
You gotta keep tellin' me things I want to hear
You gotta say pretty words every time you're near
You gotta show me that you care
So I'll know you'll be there right through the years
Please tell me, please tell me things I want to hear
Pretty words, pretty words, pretty words
Tell me the words that touch my heart
Promise you want me to stay
Tell me that we will never part
Say I'm the one you'll be loving more each day
You gotta keep tellin' me things I want to hear
You gotta say pretty words every time you're near
You gotta show me that you care
So I'll know you'll be there right through the years
Please tell me, please tell me things I want to hear
Pretty words, pretty words, pretty words
Words I wanna hear (pretty words)...

Rito De Agujeros Y Cipreses
Rito De Agujeros Y Cipreses
Performer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute
Nada es nuestro, tuyo y mío
ni ese miedo de perderse
al juntar un beso ambiguo
que queríamos valiente
Nada es nuestro, tuyo y mío
ni esa nube que, inconsciente
se dormía como un niño
en el seno de tu vientre
Nada es nuestro, tuyo y mío
ni ese odio que fue siempre
presuroso sinsentido
como un loco impertinente
Nada es nuestro, tuyo y mío
ni el silencio ya indeleble
que nos une en este rito
de agujeros y cipreses

The Thing
The Thing
Composer(s): Charles Randolph Grean
Performer(s): Phil Harris
and multiple other artists
While I was walking down the beach one bright and sunny day
I saw a great big wooden box a-floatin’ in the bay
I pulled it in and opened it up and much to my surprise
Ooh, I discovered a boom-boom-boom, right before my eyes
Oh, I discovered a boom-boom-boom, right before my eyes
I picked it up and ran to town as happy as a king
I took it to a guy I knew who’d buy most any thing
But this is what he hollered at me as I walked in his shop
Oh, get outta here with that boom-boom-boom, before I call a cop
Oh, get outta here with that boom-boom-boom before I call a cop
I turned around and got right out, a-runnin’ for my life
And than I took it home with me to give it to my wife
But this is what she hollered at me as I walked in the door
Oh, get outta here with that boom-boom-boom, and don’t come back no more
Oh, get outta here with that boom-boom-boom, and don’t come back no more
I wandered all around the town until I chanced to meet
A hobo who was looking for a hand-out on the street
He said he’d take most any old thing, he was a desperate man
But when I showed him the boom-boom-boom, he turned around and ran
Oh, when I showed him the boom-boom-boom, he turned around and ran
I wandered on for many years, a victim of my fate
Until one day I came upon St. Peter at the gate
And when I tried to take it inside, he told me where to go
Get outta here with that boom-boom-boom and take it down below
Oh, get outta here with that boom-boom-boom and take it down below
The moral of this story is if you’re out on the beach
And you should see a great big box and it’s within your reach
Don’t ever stop and open it up, that’s my advice to you
‘Cause you’ll never get rid of the boom-boom-boom, no matter what you do
Oh, you’ll never get rid of the boom-boom-boom, no matter what you do

Ritme Van De Regen

((French Version: En Écoutant La Pluie (Richard Anthony) - 1963))
Composer(s): John Gummoe - Gerrit den Braber
Performer(s): Rob de Nijs - 1963
Zachtjes tikt de regen tegen 't zolderraam
't ritme van de eenzaamheid
Die regen zegt wij waren zo gelukkig saam, maar nu is dat verleden tijd
De regen valt bij stromen, 't is een trieste dag
want je liet staan me alleen
Ik ken nu de betekenis van tegenslag, omdat je met m'n hart verdween
Kom vertel me regen, regen wat je doet
Zeg, maak je 't tussen ons toch weer een beetje goed
'k Heb niks aan een ander, want ik hou alleen van haar
De regen valt bij stromen, 't is een trieste dag
Want je liet me staan alleen
Ik ken nu de betekenis van tegenslag, omdat je met m'n hart verdween
Kom vertel me regen, regen wat ik voel,
O, maak haar hartje vurig want ze is zo koel
O, vraag, beste regen aan de zon hoe of je dat doet
Zachtjes tikt de regen tegen 't zolderraam, 't ritme van de eenzaamheid
Die regen zegt wij waren zo gelukkig saam, maar dat is nu verleden tijd

The Thin Ice
Composer(s): Roger Waters
Performer(s): Pink Floyd
and multiple other artists
Momma loves her baby
And Daddy loves you, too
And the sea may look warm to ya, Babe
And the sky may look blue
Oooooo Babe
Oooooooo Baby Blue
Oooooo Ooohh Babe
If you should go skating
On the thin ice of modern life
Dragging behind you the silent reproach
Of a million tear-stained eyes
Don't be surprised when a crack in the ice
Appears under your feet
You slip out of your depth and out of your mind
With your fear flowing out from behind
You as you claw the ice

Come On Eileen

Billy Adams; Micky Billingham
Originally performed by: Dexys Midnight Runners
Covered by various other artists
Poor old Johnny Ray
Sounded sad upon the radio
He moved a million hearts in mono
Our mothers cried and sang along and who'd blame them
Now you're grown, so grown, now I must say more than ever
Go toora loora toora loo rye aye
And we can sing jsut like our fathers
Come on Eileen, well I swear (what he means)
At this moment, you mean everything
With you in that dress my thoughts I confess
Verge on dirty
Ah come on Eileen
These people round here wear beaten down eyes
Sunk in smoke dried faces
They're so resigned to what their fate is
But not us, no not us
We are far too young and clever
Eileen I'll sing this tune forever
Come on Eileen well I swear (what he means)
Ah come on, let's take off everything
That pretty red dress Eileen (tell him yes)
Ah come on Eileen

Rite Of Passage
Rite Of Passage
Composer(s): Bob Seger
Performer(s): Bob Seger
It's the age of reason for the anarchist
It's a change of venue for the lobbyist
It's a dream of justice buried in the grist
It's a secret briefing based on need to know
It's a condescending rationale from command control
Feel the sense of wonder at the overthrow
It's a rite of passage through a hurricane
Through a rolling thunder through a screaming rain
Hear the shriek of Abel hear the cry of Cain
And Abraham will take his son
Five billion years from now the cruelty will be done
Make a destination
Of the greater truth
Make 'em hang their heads and eat their words
When you find the proof
This is all you're given
It's your only move
It's a rite of passage for the everyman
To a higher ground
To a brighter light
To a promised land
You can feel the power
Of the master's hand
It's a rite of passage

The Texas Troubadour
Composer(s): Porter Wagoner
Performer(s): Ernest Tubb
The New York City folks say I'm too country
The Grenache Village hippies all call me square
But at the Long Horn barroom down in Dallas Texas
They call me the Texas Troubadour there
My home state of Texas you've been good to me
Your wide open spaces treat me fair
The girls are so much prettier down in Texas
They don't breathe that New York City polluted air
Ah Buddy
The New York City sidewalks filled with people
Too busy to say hello to you there
With hearts as cold as the concrete that they walk on
They sure could use some clean fresh Texas air
Now Texas folks don't judge you till they know you
And they don't judge you then by what you wear
And you can feel at home anyplace in Texas
If you don't own a thing or if you're a millionaire
Now My home state of Texas you've been good to me
Your wide open spaces treat me fair
The girls are so much prettier down in Texas
They don't breathe that New York City polluted air
