I'm Still Standing
I'm Still Standing
Composer(s): Elton John; Bernie Taupin
First release by: Elton John - 1983
Covered by multiple other artists
You could never know what it's like
Your blood like winter freezes just like ice
And there's a cold lonely light that shines from you
You'll wind up like the wreck you hide behind that mask you use
And did you think this fool could never win
Well look at me, I'm coming back again
I got a taste of love in a simple way
And if you need to know while I'm still standing you just fade away
Don't you know I'm still standing better than I ever did
Looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid
I'm still standing after all this time
Picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind
I'm still standing yeah yeah yeah
I'm still standing yeah yeah yeah
Once I never could hope to win
You starting down the road leaving me again
The threats you made were meant to cut me down
And if our love was just a circus you'd be a clown by now

Extremadura
Extremadura
Performer(s): Pablo Guerrero
Extremadura
campo de toros heridos
que no braman
¿Ocultarán el gemido
de su garganta?
Extremadura
hombres que rezan a Dios
para que llueva
pero ¿quién les asegura
la cosecha?
Extremadura
soledad llena de encinas
sobre campos con veredas
¿por qué se fueron los hombres
de sus tierras?
Extremadura
tierra de conquistadores
que apenas te dieron nada
Ay, mi Extremadura
amarga
Ay, mi Extremadura
levántate y anda

I'm Still Sitting Under The Apple Tree
I'm Still Sitting Under The Apple Tree
Composer(s): Sammy Cahn; Saul Chaplin
Performer(s): Doris Day
Six long years ago
My Johnny upped and marched away
He simply said, "I love you so
And I'll be back one day"
Well, I'm still sittin' under the apple tree
The apple tree, the apple tree
Still sittin' under the apple tree
With nobody else but me
The apples are ripe on the apple tree
The apple tree, the apple tree
Apples are ripe on the apple tree
Oh, where can my Johnny be
I just got a letter from Paris
It said "just a few weeks more"
I'm thinkin' of going to Paris
Just to tell him we won the War
I'm still sittin' under the apple tree
The apple tree, the apple tree
Still sittin' under the apple tree
With nobody else but me
I just got a letter from Paris
It said "just a few weeks more"
I'm thinkin' of going to Paris
Just to tell him we won the War
I'm still sittin' under the apple tree
The apple tree, the apple tree
Still sittin' under the apple tree
With nobody else but me
How many apples can you eat!

Extranjera
Extranjera
Composer(s): Miguel Gallardo
Performer(s): Miguel Gallardo
Se fue de su pueblo un día
hace tiempo ya, pensando volver
llevaba una maleta vieja
y en el corazón, toda su niñez
Igual que un ave viajera
ella tuvo que emigrar
buscando una vida nueva... Extranjera
Llegó a un país lejano
que le dio calor, y porvenir
se enamoró de un muchacho
que le dio su amor, y fue feliz
Pero al pensar en su tierra
siente ganas de llorar
y quiere volver a ella... Extrajera
Extranjera, extranjera
aún te grita el corazón
cuando suena una guitarra
o alguien canta una canción, de tu país
no lo puedes evitar... Extranjera
Después llegaron los hijos
y hubo que luchar, y hacerlos crecer
y así pasaron los años
sin dejarla ya, poder volver
Pero va al mar y aunque calle
su alma vuelve a recordar
cuando era niña en su playa... Extranjera
Extranjera, extranjera
aún te sientes en la piel
cuando te hablan de la tierra
que una vez te vio nacer, lejos de aquí
no lo puedes evitar... Extranjera
Extranjera, extranjera
aún te grita el corazón
cuando suena una guitarra
o alguien canta una canción, de tu país
no lo puedes evitar... Extranjera
Se fue de su pueblo un día
hace tiempo ya, pensando volver

I'm Still Not Through Missing You
I'm Still Not Through Missing You
Composer(s): Larry Stock; Mann Curtis
Performer(s): Andy Russell
I'm still not through missing you
I'm still not through feeling blue
I thought that time would ease the ache
Make it easier to take
But each day it starts anew
That yearning, burning, need for you
I said goodbye with a smile
And now, I cry all the while
I go to sleep, you're on my mind
When I wake, I wake to find
I'm still not through missing you

Extrañame
aunque maldigas mi cariño
extrañame
aunque no entiendas mi destino
que me vas a recordar
por siempre y para siempre
no me podrás olvidar
me tienes que adorar
eternamente
Extrañame
cuando te ofrezcan una copa
extrañame
cuando te besen en la boca
cuando te digan como yo
las cosas más bonitas de la vida
cuando te sientas muy feliz
con ansias de vivir
extrañame

I'm Still Here
I'm Still Here
Composer(s): Tom Waits; Kathleen Brennan
Performer(s): Tom Waits
You haven't looked at me that way in years
You dreamed me up and left me here
How long was I dreaming for
What was it you wanted me for
You haven't looked at me that way in years
Your watch has stopped and the pond is clear
Someone turn the lights back off
I'll love you til all time is gone
You haven't looked at me that way in years
But I'm still here

Extra, Extra
Composer(s): Miguel Mateos
Performer(s): Miguel Mateos
Puedo escribir con rouge te amo en el espejo
puedo romper el diario de hoy
nos dicen que el futuro es de nuestros hijos
entonces vos y yo, que hacemos vos y yo
Puedo sentir tu mano en mi broche
los Sex Pistols tocan gratis esta noche
puedo acabar con el machismo argentino
ya lo vas a ver, ya lo vas a ver
Extra, extra
no puedo verte mal
nada es real, todo es ficción
viviendo con la cola entre las piernas en el callejón
Extra, extra
no puedo verte mal
seguridad para crear
y no tengo dinero para un mísero café en la popular
Tengo un pase, puedo invitarte a Obras
en este tiempo nos han echo olvidar
que en este país se puede ser feliz
puedo pedirle una limosna al presidente
puedo morirme de hambre con la gente
darte asilo en mi propio baño
puedo darte más, quiero darte más
Extra, extra
no puedo verte mal
nada es real, todo es ficción
viviendo con la cola entre las piernas en el callejón
Extra, extra
no puedo verte mal
seguridad para crear
y no tengo dinero para un mísero café en la popular
Extra, extra...

I'm Sticking With You
I'm Sticking With You
Composer(s): Lou Reed
First recording/First release by: The Velvet Underground - 1969/1985
Covered by multiple other artists
I'm sticking with you
'Cos I'm made out of glue
Anything that you might do
I'm gonna do too
You held up a stage coach in the rain
And I'm doing the same
Saw you're hanging from a tree
And I made believe it was me
I'm sticking with you
'Cos I'm made out of glue
Anything that you might do
I'm gonna do too
Some people go into the stratosphere
Soldiers fighting with the Cong
But with you by my side I can do anything
When we swing
We hang past right or wrong
I'll do anything for you
Anything you want me too
I'll do anything for you
Oohoh I'm sticking with you
Oohoh I'm sticking with you
Oohoh I'm sticking with you

6 Newsboys:
Extra!
Extra!
Morning, Noon, and Night we yell
Trying very hard to sell
Mr. Bennett's morning Herald, Mr. Pulitzer's morning World
Extra!
Extra!
Every day the same old grind
Getting worse because we find
That it's gard to sell the Herald, while it's easy to sell the World
3 Newsboys:
That isn't good for Mr. Bennett, so it's driving him nuts
Other 3:
And the result is Mr. Bennett hates Mr. Pulitzer's guts
All 6:
They're a-feudin' and a-fussin' and a-fussin' and a-feudin'
and it don't seem to make much sense
Mr.Bennett's usin' the kind of words that we wouldn't write on a fence
Extra!
Extra!
Who will in is hard to tell
In the meantime we must sell
Mr. Bennett's morning Herald, Mr. Pulitzer's morning World
Readers (yelling, the World is the more popular):
Give me a World! Give me a World! Give me a Herald!
Give me a World! Give me a World! Give me a Herald!
Newsboys:
Extra!
Herald Readers:
I like the Herald filled with stock market news
Smart social items and conservative views
It's quite amazing how we always agree!
I'm for the Herald 'cause the Herald's for me!
World Readers:
Couldn't eat a meal without the World
That's the way we feel about the World
It's the people's paper, yes indeed
With the kind of news we like to read
Circulation bigger every day,
'Spite of what the other papers say!
'Spite of accusations that are hurled
Never was a paper like the World
Herald and World Readers Simultaneously:
Couldn't eat a meal without the World
That's the way we feel about the World
It's the people's paper, yes indeed
With the kind of news we like to read
Circulation bigger every day,
'Spite of what the other papers say!
'Spite of accusations that are hurled
Never was a paper like the World
(I like the Herald filled with stock market news
Smart social items and conservative views
It's quite amazing how we always agree!
I'm for the Herald 'cause the Herald's for me!)
All:
Extra!
Extra!
Soon they'll/we'll all be getting hell
Just because they/we couldn't sell
Mr. Bennett's morning Herald,
And they're/our be imperiled when he hears how many they/we sold of Mr.
Pulitzer's morning World
Extra!

(I'm Sorry) I'll Be Busy All Next Week
(I'm Sorry) I'll Be Busy All Next Week
Composer(s): John Gilroy; Harry Linton
An ebony tinted maid of affectation is loved by a gent of tawny hue
She gave to him a standing invitation, saying "Call and I'll be always in for you"
After she had spent most of his money, he said
"Don't leave me in this world alone, could I call to see you once next week, my honey?"
This excuse she offered in regretful tone
He easily hid from her occupation, till into jail they threw this maiden dear
For counterfeit coins of this great nation, as the money that she took from him was queer
She was tried in court by judge and jury, she thought the tawny gent would come to speak
But he sent this note that drove her in a fury
"Goodbye, my gal, I'm busy all next week"
Monday I'll be busy all the day
Tuesday I'm going far away
Wednesday is the day that I study my French
Thursday is for music you would in trench
Friday I must paint a little bit
Saturday in the dentist's chair I'll sit
Sunday is for church, salvation I must seek
I'm sorry, I'll be busy all next week

Éxtasis De Angeles Caídos
Composer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute
Performer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute
Acudo
a tu templo de carne
como quien va a misa
dispuesto a oficiar
la ceremonia de la Consagración
Y me acerco
a tu altar de transubstanciaciones
divino alimento humano
donde bebo tu sangre
cual vampiro
donde como tu cuerpo
cuál gusano
practicando, en un éxtasis de ángeles
caídos
la comunión original

I been tryin' to get to you
For a long time

You with love and affection
Now you won't look in my direction?
On the expressway
To your heart

Experiment IV
Experiment IV
Composer(s): Kate Bush
Performer(s): Kate Bush
We were working secretly for the military
Our experiment in sound was nearly ready to begin
We only know in theory what we are doing
Music made for pleasure, music made to thrill
It was music we were making here until...
* They told us all they wanted
Was a sound that could kill someone from a distance
So we go ahead
And the meters are over in the red
It's a mistake in the making
From the painful cries of mothers
To the terrifying screams
We recorded it
And put it into our machine, but...
Repeat *
It could feel like falling in love
It could feel so bad
But it could feel so good
It could sing you to sleep
But that dream is your enemy
We won't be there to be blamed
We won't be there to snitch
I just pray that someone there
Can hit the switch, but...
Repeat *
And the public are warned to stay off

Sometime, perhaps
I'll have my way
when I am old and turning grey
But just as yet it's always
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, Nanette!
Chorus:
No, no, no
No, no, no

Experiment
Composer(s): Cole Porter
Performer(s): Gertrude Lawrence;
and various other artists
Before you leave these portals
To meet less fortunate mortals
There's just one final message
I would give to you
You all have learned reliance
On the sacred teachings of science
So I hope, through life you never will decline
In spite of philistine
Defiance
To do what all good scientists do
Experiment
Make it your motto day and night
Experiment
And it will lead you to the light
The apple on the top of the tree
Is never too high to achieve
So take an example from Eve
Experiment
Be curious
Though interfering friends may frown,
Get furious
Aat each attempt to hold you down
If this advice you'll only employ
The future can offer you infinite joy
And merriment
Experiment
And you'll see
