80 Proof Bottle Of Tear Stopper

80 Proof Bottle Of Tear Stopper
Composer(s): Darrell Staedtler
Performer(s): George Strait



You ain't never fell as far
as when you fall in love

Except the fall you take
when you've been loved
and given up

When you have your heart and soul
rubbed into the dirt

An 80-proof bottle of tear-stopper will take away the hurt

Give me an 80-proof bottle of tear-stopper
And I'll start feeling I forgot her
Get a little loose and lose her memory
And I won't think I'm close to dying
Because it dries up all my crying
An 80-proof bottle of tear-stopper always sets me free

It ain't easy losing love although it's turned out bad
All at once you're turning off old feelings you once had
But I found a helping hand right here in my hand
And 80-proof bottle of tear-stopper will help me take 'em out

Give me an 80-proof bottle of tear-stopper
And I'll start feeling I forgot her
Get a little loose and lose her memory
And I won't think I'm close to dying
Because it dries up all my crying
An 80-proof bottle of tear-stopper always sets me free

Marina (French Version)


Marina
Composer(s): Rocco Granata; Jean Broussolle
Performer(s): Claude Robin
(Originally performed by: Rocco Granata)



Marina, Marina, Marina
Je sais qu'il est bon d'être aimé
Mais ne vas, ne vas, ne vas pas
Courir au devant des baisers

Sans être certaine
Que l'on t'aime, que l'on t'aime
Que l'on t'aime autant que toi même
Oh non non non non non non

Si l'amour t'invite
Ma petite, t'invite
Ne réponds pas tout de suite
Oh non non non non non non

L'amour n'est pas toujours ce que l'on pense
Et quand on a le coeur plein d'impatience
On sait très très bien quand ça commence
Mais on oublie comment ça peut finir

Marina, Marina, Petite
Ecoute la voix de ton coeur
Mais ne vas, ne vas pas trop vite
Courir au devant du bonheur

Ne vas pas trop vite, trop vite, trop vite
Effeuiller la marguerite
Oh non non non non non non

Sois tendre et coquette
Coquette, coquette
Mais ne perds jamais la tête
Oh non non non non non non

Marina, Marina, Marina

Composer(s):
Chris Difford; Glenn Tilbrook

Performer(s): Squeeze



853-5893
Angela can't make it to the 'phone

If you care to leave
your name and number

She'll give you a ring
when she is home

Everytime I called her I got the message
I listened to the voice coming down the line
I couldn't speak to a tape recording
I re-dialled it a number of times
853-5937 Angela can't make it to the 'phone
If you care to leave your name and number
Please speak clearly after the tone
She'll give you a ring when she get's home
I rang her this morning so very early
The same old message coming down the 'phone
I should go and see if her house is empty
Maybe she's poorly perhaps she's not home
She's in Mill Hill I'm in Bermondsey
It's the end of the earth on the northern line
It makes it so hard for me to see
The one that I love but can never find
I called up a close friend who lives right by her
I got the message he was out too
I was suspicious are they together
I've got to find out that that isn't true

Composer(s): Rocco Granata
(Originally performed by: Rocco Granata)



Mi arde enamigis al Marina
tre carma kaj tre gaja brunulino...
Sed amon mian tute si neglektas
kiel konkeri sian koron do?

Sin iam mi renkontis tute sola
rapida igis mia bato kora
Kaj kiam audis si la amdeklaron
si kison al mi donis kun fervor'...

Marina, Marina, Marina
mi volas edzigi al vi
Marina, Marina, Marina,
mi estas frenezo pro vi!
Brunulino kara
ho belajo rara
vi ne devas min forlasi
ho ne, ne, ne, ne, ne...
Brunulino kara
ho belajo rara
vi ne devas min forlasi
ho ne, ne, ne, ne, ne...

Marina
Composer(s): Rocco Granata
Performer(s): De Strangers
(Originally performed by: Rocco Granata)



Marina, o yo te quiero

In Spanje in het zonnige Sevilla
Daar woont een lieve schat, ze heet Marina
Ze danst in het café la cucaracha
’t Is daarom 's avonds altijd even vol
Je vindt er praktisch iedere torero
Die zwaaien dan geestdriftig hun sombrero
En roepen luid: Marina, yo te quiero
Zo brengt ze iedereen het hoofd op hol

Marina, Marina, Marina
Kom dans nog een keertje voor mij
Marina, Marina, Marina
Dan maak je mijn hart weer zo blij
Als ik jou zie draaien
Met je rokken zwaaien
Sta ik in lichterlaaie
Dat noemt men temperament
En wil jij mij trouwen
Laat ik een villa bouwen
Ja het zal je nooit berouwen
Wanneer je bij me bent
(x2)

wanneer je bij me bent
ik geef je al mijn geld
wanneer je bij me bent, olé

88 Seconds
Is all it takes
88 Seconds
Don't make mistakes
We've seen you
We can see you
In red and blue
In black and white
Under crystal skies
In full daylight
You know it
God you know it
88 seconds
Is all it takes
In 88 seconds
We don't make mistakes
We know you
Oh, yes we have known you
Times are changing
But not in our street
Once we played there
Like the good times
You know it
God, you know it
They're heading for
A shallow grave
With a big black cross
By a tall white house
To a place down south
We won't forget
To be stabbed in the back
By a man they met
In 88 seconds
In Greensboro
In 88 seconds
In Greensboro
88 seconds
In Greensboro
Is all we take

De drømmer alle sammen om Marina
de sukker for sig selv: Marina Mia
de ler og smiler sødt og si'r Marina
du er så kær som ingen anden her

Der' hver dag mange breve til Marina
i alle breve står Marina Mia
og byens postbud hvisker Åh Marina
du er så kær som ingen anden her

Marina, Marina, Marina, pas på de forelskede mænd
Marina, Marina, Marina, de prøver igen og igen
Løfter vil de gi' dig
hvis blot de ka' li' dig

Kun en mand ka' du elske
si' roligt til de sprælske
til de glødende rebelske
oh, no, no, no, no

9 To 5

9 To 5
From the film "9 To 5" (1980)
Composer(s: Dolly Parton
Performer(s): Dolly Parton;
and various other artists



Jump on outta bed
and I stumble to the kitchen

Pour myself a cup of ambition
And yawn and stretch and try to come to life
Jump in the shower and the blood starts pumpin'
Out on the street the traffic starts jumpin'
With folks like me on the job from 9 to 5

Workin' 9 to 5, what a way to make a livin'
Barely gettin' by, it's all takin' and no givin'
They just use your mind and they never give you credit
It's enough to drive you crazy if you let it
9 to 5, for service and devotion
You would think that I would deserve a fat promotion
Want to move ahead but the boss won't seem to let me
I swear sometimes that man is out to get me!

They let you dream just to watch 'em shatter
You're just a step on the boss-man's ladder
But you got dreams he'll never take away
You're in the same boat with a lotta your friends
Waitin' for the day your ship'll come in
'n' the tide's gonna turn and it's all gonna roll your way

Workin' 9 to 5, what a way to make a livin'
Barely gettin' by, it's all takin' and no givin'
They just use your mind and you never get the credit
It's enough to drive you crazy if you let it
9 to 5, yeah they got you where they want you
There's a better life, and you dream about it, don't you?
It's a rich man's game no matter what they call it
And you spend your life puttin' money in his wallet

9 to 5, whoa what a way to make a livin'
'stead-a gettin' by, it's all takin' and no givin'
They just use your mind and they never give you credit
It's enough to drive you crazy if you let it

9 to 5, yeah they done got you where they want you
FADE
There's a better life, and you dream about it, don't you?
It's a rich man's game no matter what they call it

9,999,999 Tears
Composer(s): Razzy Bailey
Performer(s): Razzy Bailey; Dickey Lee;
Dreamhouse



I got nine million, nine hundred
Ninety nine thousand
Nine hundred ninety nine
Tears to go
And then I don't know
If I'll be over you

The sun didn't shine
This morning
It's been raining
The whole day through
Suddenly without warning,
You found somebody new
That's when the first tear came
Falling from my eyes
I'm beginning to feel the pain
Seeing nothing
But cloudy skies

I got nine million, nine hundred
Ninety nine thousand
nine hundred ninety nine
Tears to go
And then I don't know
If I'll be over you
Will I be over you

You're out tonight
with your new love
I'm far, far from your mind
Tryin' to get over you
Love could take
A whole lifetime
I can't believe you
Could want anybody else
So no one could take my place
At least that's what I keep
Telling myself
As the tears fall down my face

I got nine million, nine hundred
Ninety nine thousand
Nine hundred ninety nine
Tears to go
And then I don't know
If I'll be over you
Will I be over you

I got nine million, nine hundred
Ninety nine thousand
Nine hundred ninety nine
Tears to go
I got nine million, nine hundred
Ninety nine thousand
Nine hundred ninety nine
Tears to go
And then I don't know
If I'll be over you

I got nine million, nine hundred
Ninety nine thousand
Nine hundred ninety nine
Tears to go
I got nine million, nine hundred
Ninety nine thousand
Nine hundred ninety nine
Tears to go ......

Marilyn


Marilyn
Composer(s): Nicolas Peyrac
Performer(s): Nicolas Peyrac



Tu posais nue de dos pour des calendriers
Tu faisais des photos mais rêvais de danser
Petite poupée blonde aux cheveux décoiffés
Tu t'en venais de l'ombre et rêvais de gagner
Le soleil, le soleil

Et les hommes se mirent à te désirer
Pour un de tes sourires pour une nuit volée
Ils te bâtirent un jour un palais de papier
Marilyn, que t'ont-ils fait?

Et Monsieur Cinéma se foutait bien de toi
Il te faisait diva mais tu n'étais que toi
Une gosse perdue au coeur de ses studios
Où les coeurs se sont tus à force de sanglots
Au soleil, au soleil

Et les femmes se mirent à te détester
Tu devenais l'objet que voulaient posséder
Les hommes enchaînés rêvant de liberté
Marilyn, que t'ont-ils fait?

On dit qu'un président t'avait téléphoné
Qu'il était ton amant depuis quelques années
On disait tout de toi, on en avait tant dit
Qu'ils ne surent pas pourquoi tu t'étais endormie
Au soleil, au soleil

Et moi qui t'ignorais, je te connais si bien
Que je te dis bravo, n'oublie pas que demain
On reviendra te voir mais repose-toi bien
Marilyn, Marilyn a trop dansé

Et moi qui t'ignorais, je te connais si bien
Que je te dis bravo, n'oublie pas que demain
On reviendra te voir mais repose-toi bien
Marilyn, a trop dansé
A trop dansé, Marilyn

90 Miles An Hour (Down A Dead End Street)
Composer(s): Hal Blair; Don Robertson
Performer(s): Hank Snow; Katy Moffatt;
Bob Dylan; John Berry; Ashley Hutchings;
Michel Montecrossa



I took you home from a party
And we kissed in fun
A few stolen kisses and no harm was done
Instead of stopping when we could
We went right on
Until suddenly we found the brakes were gone

You belong to someone else and I do too
It's just too crazy being here with you
As a bad motorcycle with the devil in the seat
Doin' 90 miles an hour down a dead end street

I didn't want to want to now I have no choice
It's too late to hear the warning voice
All I hear is thunder as our two hearts beat
Doin' 90 miles an hour down a dead end street

You're not free to belong to me
And you know I can never be your own
Your lips on mine are like sweet sweet wine
But we're headed for a wall of stone

Warning signs are flying by us but we pay no heed
Instead of slowing down the pace we keep pickin' up the speed
Disaster's getting closer every time we meet
Doin' 90 miles an hour down a dead end street

Marilou Sous La Neige


Marilou Sous La Neige
Composer(s): Serge Gainsbourg
Originally performed by: Serge Gainsbourg



Marilou repose sous la neige
Et je me dis et je me redis
De tous ces dessins d'enfant que n'ai je
Pu préserver la fraîcheur de l'inédit

De ma Lou en bandes dessinées je
Parcourais les bulles arrondies
Lorsque je me vis exclu de ses jeux
Érotiques j'en fis une maladie

Marilou se sentait prise au piège
Tous droits d'reproduction interdits
Moi naïf j'pensais que me protégeaient
Les droits du copyright opera mundi

Oh ma Lou il fallait que j'abrège
Ton existence c'est ainsi
Que Marilou s'endort sous la neige
Carbonique de l'extincteur d'incendie

Well I look out of my window
I see the morning cold and grey
I look out of my window
I see the morning cold and grey
I told you so many years ago
They're all gonna end up, end up this way

Well the fat man took my money
And the daughter won't give it back
The fat man took my money
Sons and daughters won't give it back
Put my family out on the street
Put my marriage on the rack

Well they steal your water
And if you want some you got to pay
The greenies point their fingers
The people know better they don't listen what they say
They live in fear and frustration
Oh their crappy lives why should they give a toss anyway

Quand Marilou danse reggae
Ouvrir braguette et prodiguer
Salutations distinguées
De petit serpent katangais

Quand Marilou danse reggae
Sur Marilou passer à gué
Beaucoup caresses et endiguer
Spermatozoïdes aux aguets

Quand Marilou danse reggae
Au bord climax faire le guet
Changer vitesse changer braquet
Et décoller avion Bréguet

Quand Marilou danse reggae
Elle et moi plaisirs conjugués
En Marilou moi seringuer
Faire mousser en meringué

Quand Marilou danse reggae
Quand Marilou bien irriguée
Jamais jamais épiloguer
Record à corps homologué

Quand Marilou danse reggae
Petit détail à divulguer
En petit nègre dialogué
Après l'amour pisser sagaie

911 Is A Joke

911 Is A Joke
Composer(s):
William Drayton;
Eric "Vietnam" Sadler; Keith Shocklee
Performer(s): Duran Duran; Public Enemy



Now I dialed nine one one
a long time ago

Don't you see how late they're reactin'
They only come
and they come when they wanna

So get the morgue truck
and bag the goner

They don't care 'cause they get paid anyway
They treat you like an ace
that can't be betrayed

I know you stumble with no use people
If your life is on the line then you're dead today

Late comings with the late comin' stretcher
That's a body bag in disguise
y'all I'll betcha
I call 'em body snatchers
quick they come to fetch you
with an autopsy ambulance
just to dissect ya

They are the kings 'cos they swing amputation
Lose your arms your legs to them it's compilation
I can prove it to you watch the rotation
It all adds up to a funky situation

So get up get get get down
911 is a joke in yo town
Get up get get get down
Late 911 wears the late crown

911 is a joke

Everyday they don't never come correct
You can ask my man right here
with the broken neck
He's a witness to the job never bein' done
He would've been in full effect 911
They the token to your life when it's croakin'
They need to be in a pawn shop on a
911 is a joke we don't want 'em
I call a cab 'cause a cab will come quicker
The doctors huddle up and call a flea flicker
The reason that I say that 'cause they
Flick you off like fleas
They be laughin' at ya
while you're crawlin' on our knees
And to the strength so go the length
Thinkin' you are first when you really are tenth
You better wake up and smell the real flavor
Cause 911 is a fake life saver

911 is a joke

Ow, ow 911 is a joke

Mariko-San
Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez



Donde quiera me encuentro un papel de Mariko-San
Donde quiera descubro un recado, un guiño de ojo
Ando en una gaveta, abro un libro
registro un bolsillo, levanto un mantel
Donde quiera me encuentro un papel de Mariko-San

El verano llegó desde ayer no quiso esperar
Mete leña en su horno de sietemesino y ahoga
El verano a pesar de las cosas
que pese al verano se deben hacer
El verano llegó desde ayer no quiso esperar

Hoy debiera contar hasta cien y luego soñar
Hoy debiera volver del océano y ser bienvenido
Hoy debiera andar sin zapatos
casarme de pronto sin saber con quién
Hoy debiera contar hasta cien y luego soñar

Performer(s): The Pretenders



Every time I end up waking up
In some hotel without my
Set of keys
Coming to, remembering the way
You turned me out when I was
On my knees
You think that was
One up for you
But I know I scored something too

When I see the way you have to struggle
Just to do a little simple thing
I feel apologetic
Just because I'm not particularly suffering
So I let you take me down
I'm like your rent-a-clown

When I saw my baby cry
I knew that he loved me
That was some great victory
He cried because of me
He hit me with his belt
But his tears were all I felt
When I saw my baby cry
I knew he loved me

When you try and cut me down
And push me back
If I attack your attitude
I rise up to the challenge 'cause
I like to taste the sugar of your violent mood
Just like a stormy sea
You're natural
Poetry to me

When I saw my baby cry
I knew that he loved me
That was some great victory
He cried because of me
He hit me with his belt
But his tears were all I felt
When I saw my baby cry
I knew he loved me
I knew he loved me
