Trapaças


Trapaças
Composer(s): Chico Buarque
Performer(s): Chico Buarque; Toninho Horta



Contigo aprendi
A perder e achar graça
Pagar e não dar importância
Contigo a trapaça
Por trás da trapaça
É pura elegância

Se deres por falta
Do teu riso esperto
Dos teus sortilégios
Entende e perdoa
Eu ando nas ruas
Com o sol descolado
Da tua pessoa

I Named My Little Girl Holly


I Named My Little Girl Holly
Composer(s): Lee Jackson
Performer(s): Buddy Knox



I named my little baby girl Holly, Buddy
I didn't think you'd mind at all, golly, Buddy
There wasn't much else I could do
To best try and remember you
Guess I could have named her Peggy Sue

But I named my little baby girl Holly, Buddy
Many of my friends did too, golly, Buddy
It was a small way we could show
How much we all still miss you so
And we're wishing somehow you could know

Everyday since you've been missing
We've done lots of Reminiscing
It's So Easy thinking of your style
And though we've all been told before
That It Doesn't Matter Anymore
For us the music never really died

So I named my little baby girl Holly, Buddy
Ever since you left this world, golly, Buddy
It's been said time and again
Soon the memory will end
But That'll Be The Day my friend
Buddy Holly

Just You


Just You
Composer(s): Sonny Bono
Performer(s): Sonny & Cher;
Soundsations; Thursday's Children



With his big brown eyes he came my way
I didn’t know then what he had to say
I could tell that he felt bad
By the way he looked that he felt sad, oh yeah

Sometimes you hurt me baby, I don’t know why
I’ll always love you baby till the day I die
But when you look at fellas
Baby I get jealous
I only live my life for you
Anything you say I’ll do
I’ll live for you, I’ll die for you
I’ll even climb the mountains high for you

Thought right then he’d break my heart
I could feel the teardrops start
Why didn’t he know I love him so
I could never let him go, oh no

I’d never hurt you baby - tell you why
I’m gonna love you till the day I die
When I look at fellas
Baby don’t get jealous
I only live my life for you - anything you say I’ll do
I’ll live for you, I’ll die for you
I’ll even climb the mountains high for you

I love you, just you, nobody else but you
I love you, only you, every day, every day, just you

Transit À Marilou


Transit À Marilou
Composer(s): Serge Gainsbourg
Performer(s): Serge Gainsbourg



Vroom vroom me voici rose zinc
Avion fantôme hou hou
Aéroplane vieux coucou
Dont l'altimètre se déglingue
C'est à peine si je distingue
Les balises du terrain où
Je me pose en casse-cou
J'alanguis dans la nuit buccale
Où je vais transiter un coup
Serai-je chez les cannibales
Une haleine de peppermint
M'envahit le cockpit ding ding
Je me sens vibrer la carlingue
Se dresser mon manche à balou
Dans la tour de contrôle en bout
De piste une voix cunilingue
Me fait "glou glou
Je vous reçois cinq sur cinq"
Mais qu'est-ce que c'est que ce trou
Perdu suis-je en pays zoulou
Mais non voyons suis-je dingue
Je suis à Marilou

I Must Have That Man


I Must Have That Man
Composer(s): Dorothy Fields; Jimmy McHugh
Performer(s): Vaughn De Leath
and multiple other artists



Don't want my mammy, I don't need a friend
My heart is broken, it won't ever mend
I ain't much carin' just where I will end
I must have that man

I'm like an oven that's cryin' for heat
He treats me awful each time that we meet
It's just unlawful how that boy can cheat
But I must have that man

His heart is Hades
A lady's not safe in his arms when she's kissed
But I'm afraid that he's cooled off
And maybe I'm ruled off his list

I'll never desist, I need that person
Much worse'n just bad
I'm half alive and it's drivin' me mad
He's only human, if he's to be had
I must have that man

Just When I Needed You Most


Just When I Needed You Most
Composer(s): Randy VanWarmer
Performer(s): Randy VanWarmer;
and various other artists



You packed in the morning and I
Stared out the window and I
Struggled for something to say
You left in the rain
Without closing the door
I didn't stand in your way

But I miss you more than I
Missed you before and now
Where I'll find comfort, God knows
'Cause you left me
Just when I needed you most

(Left me, just when I needed you most)

Now most every morning I
Stare out the window and I
Think about where you might be
I've written you letters
That I'd like to send
If you would just send one to me

'Cause I need you more than I
Needed before and now
Where I'll find comfort, God knows
'Cause you left me
Just when I needed you most

(Left me, just when I needed you most)

You packed in the morning I
Stared out the window and I
Struggled for something to say
You left in the rain
Without closing the door
I didn't stand in your way

Now I love you more than I
Loved you before and now
Where I'll find comfort, God knows
'Cause you left me
Just when I needed you most
Oh, yeah
You left me
Just when I needed you most

You left me
Just when I needed you most

Transistor Radio


Transistor Radio
Composer(s): Benny Hill
Performer(s): Benny Hill



My baby’s got a transistor radio
She takes it everywhere we go
She takes it when we go out a-walking
Even to a movie show
Well now, just last night, in the pale moonlight
I asked her for a kiss
But instead of hearing her whisper sweet words of love
All that I could hear was this
(Radio: 4 lines of high-pitched singing, sounding like Pinky & Perky)

I went round to the house where my baby lives
To ask her for a date
There I was, walking up the garden path
Round about half past eight
When I heard a sound, made my poor heart pound
It stopped me in my stride
I seemed to hear the voice of another guy
Coming from inside

(Radio: Elvis take-off, singing I wonder if you’re lonesome tonight -
Maybe that’s ‘cause you’re eleven feet tall
And all the world’s a stage, I have often heard that said
But I don’t have a wooden heart
I have a wooden head)

I’d like to take her transistor radio
And throw it in the deep blue sea
I’m so jealous of her transistor radio
‘Cause it takes her mind off me
I said, Oh baby, please be mine
I want you for my own
Tell me, is your love for somebody else?
Or is it for me alone?

(Radio: Male presenting dance music requests from British Honduras,
New Guinea, and British West Hartlepool)

I swore to her that I would always be true
And love her all the while
And oh, that oh so happy day
I took her down the aisle
Now, do you take this man to be your loving husband?
The preacher softly said
But he never heard you say, I do
‘Cause this is what he heard instead

(Radio: Singing, Yeah, yeah
You told me you were just eighteen on the telephone
I thought that you meant eighteen years
But you meant eighteen stone
Big fat mama}

We went to spend our honeymoon down on the Island of Capri
I found myself a very small hotel as quiet as could be
But when I got up to our room upon our wedding night
This is the sound that reached my ears
As I switched out the light

(Wife) Darling?
(Husband) ‘Ere, where’s the radio?
(Wife) Music he wants!

I Must Have Been Blind


I Must Have Been Blind
Composer(s): Tim Buckley
First release by: Tim Buckley - 1969
Covered by multiple other artists



Here I am believin' words again
Here I am tryin' to find your love again
Here I am down on my knees again
Prayin' for a love
That we used to know

Both of us know
How hard it is to love
And let it go
Both of us know
How hard it is to go on living that way
When so few understand what it means
To fall in love
And so few know how hard it is to live without it
I must have been blind
I must have been blind
Lord, I must have been blind

To hold something real
And not believe it
To live in her life
And never trustin'
To give all you know and never feel it
To hold back each day
Until it dies away

Both of us know
How hard it is to love
And let it go
Both of us know
How hard it is to go on
Living that way
When so few undersand what it means
To fall in love
And so few know how hard it is to live without it
I must have been blind
I must have been blind
Lord, I must have been blind

Just When


Just When
Composer(s): Alan Rhody; Bill Caswell
Performer(s): George Jones



Just when I learned how to dance, they changed the music
Just when I learned how to sing, they changed the song
Just when I learned how to love, you changed your mind, babe
Just when I thought I'd found everything, my everything was gone

Just when love felt so right, I found I was wrong
Just when I learned to trust, he came along
Suddenly nothing I said made any difference
Just when I thought I'd found everything, my everything was gone

You know that ol' lonesome world could
But it can sure make you cry
Oh, and a love I thought would last
Ah, it's now just a thing of the past

Just when love felt so right, I found I was wrong
Just when I learned to trust, he came along
Suddenly nothing I said made any difference
Just when I thought I'd found everything, my everything was gone

Just when I thought I'd found everything, my everything was gone

Transfusion


Transfusion
Composer(s): Justin Drake
First release: Nervous Norvus - 1956



Toolin' down the highway doin' seventy-nine
I'm a twin-pipe poppa and I'm feelin' fine
Hey man, dig that! Was that a red stop sign?

Transfusion, transfusion
I'm just a solid mess of contusions
Never, never, never gonna speed again
Slip the blood to me, Bud

I jump in my rod about a quarter-to-nine
I gotta make a date with that chick of mine
I cross the centre-line, man you gotta make time

Transfusion, transfusion
Oh man I got the cotton-pickin' convolutions
I'm never, never, never gonna speed again
Shoot the juice to me, Bruce

My foot's on the throttle and it's made of lead
But I'm a fast-ridin' daddy with a real cool head
I'm a-gonna pass a truck on the hill ahead

Transfusion, transfusion
My red corpsuckles are in mass confusion
Never, never, never gonna speed again
Pour the crimson in me, Jimson

I took a little drink and I'm a-feeling right
I can fly right over everything, everything in sight
There's a slow-pokin' cat, I'm gonna pass him on the right

Transfusion, transfusion
I'm a real gone paleface and that's no illusion
I'm a-never, never, never gonna speed again
Pass the claret to me, Barrett

A-rollin' down the mountain on a rainy day
Oh when you see me comin' better start to pray
I'm a-cuttin' up the road and I'm the boss all the way

Transfusion, transfusion
Oh Doc, pardon me for this crazy intrusion
I'm never, never, never gonna speed again
Pump the fluid in me, Louis

I'm burnin' up the freeway a-early this morn'
And I'm passin' everyone, oh nothin' but corn
Man out of my way, I don't drive on my horn

Transfusion, transfusion
Oh Nurse, I'm gonna make a new resolution
I'm never, never, never gonna speed again
Put a gallon in me, Alan

Oh barnyard drivers are found in two classes
Blind crowding hogs and speeding jackasses
So remember to slow down today

Hey Daddy-o, make that type O
Huh... Attaboy

I Must Go


I Must Go
Composer(s): Lindsey Buckingham; Gordon Fordyce
Performer(s): Lindsey Buckingham



I've been trying just to get to you
Hey little girl, leave the little drug alone
I just can't seem to get through
Hey little girl, leave the little drug alone
You leave in the morning but you don't come back
Hey little girl, leaving me all alone
Hey little girl, you're on the wrong track
Hey little girl, leave the little drug alone

I've been waiting, contemplating
Now I know
If you're aching, heart is breaking
Let the forewinds blow

And this is why I must go
Why I must go
Why I must go
Why I must go
I must go

You just can't choose between the lie and the fact
Hey little girl, leave the little drug alone
Hey little girl, you're on the wrong track
Hey little girl, leave the little drug alone

I've been waiting, contemplating
Now I know
If you're aching, heart is breaking
Let the forewinds blow

And this is why I must go
Why I must go
Why I must go
Why I must go
I must go

And this is why I must go
Why I must go
Why I must go
Why I must go
I must go

And this is why I must go
Why I must go
Why I must go
Why I must go
I must go

And this is why I must go
Why I must go
Why I must go
Why I must go
I must go

Just What I Needed


Just What I Needed
Composer(s): Ric Ocasek
Performer(s): The Cars;
and various other artists



I don't mind you coming here
And wasting all my time
'Cause when you're standing oh so near
I kinda lose my mind

It's not the perfume that you wear
It's not the ribbons in your hair
I don't mind you coming here
And wasting all my time

I don't mind you hanging out
And talking in your sleep
It doesn't matter where you've been
As long as it was deep, yeah

You always knew to wear it well, and
You look so fancy I can tell
I don't mind you hanging out
And talking in your sleep

Chorus:
I guess you're just what I needed
(Just what I needed)
I needed someone to feed
I guess you're just what I needed
(Just what I needed)
I needed someone to bleed

I don't mind you coming here
And wasting all my time, time
'Cause when you're standing oh so near
I kinda lose my mind, yeah

It's not the perfume that you wear
It's not the ribbons in your hair
I don't mind you coming here
And wasting all my time

Chorus x2

So bleed me
You're just what I needed
You're just what I needed
You're just what I needed

Transfiguraciones


Transfiguraciones
Composer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute - Pau Riba
Performer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute



Subo al Verbo
partido por tres
tres tiempos que me dividen
en pasado, futuro y
hoy
o
yóh teh amoh
y bajo a tu sustantivo
Amor, multiplicado
por tres
Transfigúrate en tres que seis son

Primer parto
Lo Uno se rompió
y Di vino a ser
Aquí empieza el Verso
Desde entonces
el Universo es Di verso

Segunda parte
non, impar, transgresor
de sí mismo
Persigue el hombre
la Unidad
en su ecuación imposible
Transfigúrate en tres que seis son
Muda la cara
y quieto el paisaje
en el amor
conocer por qué tú
no eres yo
Yo que sin ti no soy
Celeste pasión del verbo único
así en el cielo como en el infierno
amor cambiamos, amor

I Missed Me


I Missed Me
Composer(s): Bill Anderson
First recording/First release by: Jim Reeves - 1960
Covered by multiple other artists



Last night was the worst night of my life no doubt
'Cause while I stayed at home, someone else took you out
I cried 'cause I love you with all of my might
And I missed me, how I missed me at your house last night

I missed holding hands, walking out on your lawn
I missed the sweet kiss that was mine for so long
Were you happy with new arms wrapped around you so tight
Did you miss me, like I missed me at your house last night

Did the neighbours say they noticed anything strange
Like a diff'rent car parked in your drive for a change
Did they watch as he kissed you beneath the porch light
And did they miss me like I missed me at your house last night

Just Walking In The Rain


Just Walking In The Rain
Composer(s): Johnny Bragg;
Buddy Killen; Robert Riley
Performer(s): Johnnie Ray;
and various other artists



Just walking in the rain
Getting soaking wet
Torturing my heart by trying to forget

Just walking in the rain
So alone and blue
All because my heart still remembers you

People come to their windows
They always stare at me
Shaking their heads in sorrow
Saying, who can that fool be

Just walking in the rain
Thinking how we met
Knowing things have changed
Somehow I can't forget

Transatlantic Lullaby


Transatlantic Lullaby
Composer(s): Geoff Wright - Robert McDermott
Performer(s): Adelaide Hall
and multiple other artists



New York’s skyscrapers are sleeping
Dawn comes creeping on
Street lamps are shining more clearly
Night has nearly gone
Papa and mama both are yawning now
All their goodnights will soon be said
It won’t be long until the morning now
And time to go to bed

Soft Manhattan evenings fall
A velvet dust envelops all
On Hudson River, distant tugboats cry
Ship to ship and shore to shore
The waters make a shining floor
And hum a transatlantic lullaby

The sky is silky dark, it’s cool in Central Park
The traffic cars all clanging past
A busy day is done, the lights fade one by one
And Broadway goes to bed at last

Tomorrow seems a distant beam
And still the rocky waters gleam
And hum a sleepy transatlantic lullaby

The sky is silky dark, it’s cool in Central Park
The charley cars all clanging past
A busy day is done, the lights fade one by one
And Broadway goes to bed at last

Tomorrow seems a distant beam
And still the rocky waters gleam
And hum a sleepy transatlantic lullaby

I Missed Again


I Missed Again
Composer(s): Phil Collins
Performer(s): Phil Collins



So you finally came right out and said it girl
What took you so long
It was in your eyes, that look's been there for too long
I'm waiting in line
Would you say if I was wasting my time

Or did I miss again
I think I missed again oh

I think about it from time to time
When I'm lonely and on my own

I try to forget and yet, still rush to the telephone
I'm waiting in line
Would you say if I was wasting my time

Or did I miss again
I think I missed again oh
Or did I miss again
I think I missed again oh

Well it feels like something you want so bad
Then you think you've got it, but it's something you already had
You can feel it all around you, but it's something you just can't touch
And I feel it coming at me
I can feel it coming at me

Or did I miss again
I think I missed again oh
Or did I miss again
I think I missed again

I'm waiting in line, but would you say if I was wasting my time

Or did I miss again...

Just Walk In My Shoes


Just Walk In My Shoes
Composer(s): H. Mastor; K. Miller
Performer(s): Gladys Knight & The Pips;
and various other artists



Well I just can't get myself together anymore
I believe I need the love I had
Oh baby, we had it all

Walk in my shoes
This hurt inside is too much for me
Just walk in my shoes
You'll see I want the love that used to be
Try on my heartache
Go ahead and try it on for size
Just walk in my shoes
And you'll see through someone else's eyes

What you've done to me
I fell apart when you walked out
And I just can't get myself together anymore
I believe I need the love I had
Oh baby, we had it all

Why don't you walk and walk into my shoes
And you'll wear a smile that isn't real
Just walk in my shoes
And you'll know how broken up I feel
Try out each new day
Wear the cloak of loneliness I know
Just walk in my shoes
Or do you since you let me go

Keep on walkin', walk on, ye-e-e-a-a-ah
You got to keep on walking, baby

Darlin' I fell apart
Baby, baby, baby, when you walked out
And I just can't get myself together anymore
'Cause I need, I need the love we had
Oh baby, why did you go

Why don't you walk an' walk an' walk an' walk into my shoes
Ye-e-e-a-ah, you gotta, gotta, gotta walk in my shoes
Well, why doncha walk, you gotta, gotta........

Trampled Under Foot


Trampled Under Foot
Composer(s): Jimmy Page - John Paul Jones - Robert Plant
First release: Led Zeppelin - 1975
Covered by multiple other artists



Greasy slicked down body, groovy leather trim
I like the way you hold the road, mama, it ain't no sin
Talkin' 'bout love, talkin' 'bout love, talkin' 'bout love
Trouble-free transmission, helps your oil flow
Mama, let me pump your gas, mama, let me do it all
Talkin' 'bout love, talkin' 'bout love, talkin' 'bout love
Dig that heavy metal underneath your hood
Baby, I could work all night, believe I've got the perfect tools
Talkin' 'bout love, talkin' 'bout love, talkin' 'bout love
A model built for comfort, really built with style
Specialist tradition, mama, let me feast my eyes
Talkin' 'bout love, talkin' 'bout love, talkin' 'bout love
Factory air-conditioned, heat begins to rise
Guaranteed to run for hours, mama it's a perfect size
Talkin' 'bout love, talkin' 'bout love, talkin' 'bout love
Groovin' on the freeway, gauge is on the red
Gun down on my gasoline, I believe I'm gonna crack a head
Talkin' 'bout love, talkin' 'bout love, talkin' 'bout love
I can't stop talkin' about
Come to me for service every hundred miles
Baby, let me check your points, fix your overdrive
Talkin' 'bout love, talkin' 'bout love, talkin' 'bout love
Fully automatic, comes in any size
Makes me wonder what I did, before we synchronized
Talkin' 'bout love, talkin' 'bout love, talkin' 'bout love
Feather-light suspension, coils just couldn't hold
I'm so glad I took a look inside your showroom doors
Talkin' 'bout love, talkin' 'bout love, talkin' 'bout love
Oh, I can't stop talkin' about love
