Eyes Of A Stranger


Eyes Of A Stranger
Composer(s): Andy Summers
Performer(s): Andy Summers



Beautiful building
burning on 14th street
eyes of a stranger
sleeping through August heat

We could be lovers
we could even be friends
holding each other
haking the heroes end

My eyes have seen them

Everything's perfect
there's not a cloud in the sky
knife in the water
everything passing us by

We could be lovers
building a perfect wall
holding each other
taking the beautiful fall

My eyes have seen them

I'm Talking About You


I'm Talking About You
Composer(s): Chuck Berry
Performer(s): Chuck Berry
and multiple other artists



Let me tell you 'bout a girl I know
I met her walking down an uptown street
She's so fine, you know, I wish she was mine
I get shook up every time we meet

I'm talkin' 'bout you
Nobody but you
Gal, I do mean you
I'm just tryin' to get a message to you

Let me tell you 'bout a girl I know
I tell you now she looks so good
Got so much skill, such a beautiful build
She ought to be somewhere in Hollywood

I'm talkin' bout you
Nobody but you
Come on give me a cue
So I can get a message to you

Let me tell you 'bout a girl I know
Sittin' right here by my side
Lovely indeed, that's why I asked her if she'd
Promise me someday she would be my bride

I'm talkin' 'bout you
I do mean you
Nobody but you
Come on let me get a message through...

Eye Of The Zombie


Eye Of The Zombie
Composer(s): John C. Fogerty
Performer(s): John C. Fogerty



Hoo! Oooooh!

Shadows on the mountain, and the night begins to fall
Gather up the children, 'fore the darkness takes us all
Tribe has come together, standin' naked against the night
Twenty feet from the fire, the evil waits with zombie eyes

Chorus:
Eye-eye-eye eye of the Zombie!
Eye-eye-eye eye of the Zombie!

Oh! Sneakin' through the long grass on leopard feet silently
A beast already dead comes to join the dance on the zombie
Ooh! Time has come again - again the moment of truth
The terror is at hand, and there's nothin' you can do

Chorus

Oh! Hoo! Aaa-aah! Hoo! Aaa-aaa-aaaah!

From out of nowhere he's there, flashing hideous teeth
Panic in the crowd, helter-skelter, we're brought to our knees
Back to the darkness, back on the mountain he stands
You can't fight a shadow, you can't kill a dead man

I'm Stone In Love With You


I'm Stone In Love With You
Composer(s): Thom Bell; Linda Creed
Performer(s): Johnny Mathis



If I could I'd like to be, a great big movie star
Overnight sensation; drive a big expensive car
I would buy you everything your little heart desires
These things I do, 'cause I'm stone in love with you
(Stone in love with you)

If I were a businessman, I'd sit behind a desk
I'd be so successful; I would scare Wall Street to death
I would hold a meeting for the press to let them know
I did it all, 'cause I'm stone in love with you
(Stone in love with you)

I'm just a man, an average man
doing everything the best I can
But if I could, I'd give the world to you...

I'd like to someday be the owner of the first house on the moon
There would be no neighbours, and no population boom
You might say that all I do is dream my life away
I guess it's true, 'cause I'm stone in love with you
I guess it's true, 'cause I'm stone in love with you
I guess it's true, 'cause I'm stone in love with you

Eye Of The Tiger


Eye Of The Tiger
Composer(s): Jim Peterik; Frank Sullivan
Performer(s): Survivor;
and various other artists



Risin' up, back on the street
Took my time, took my chances
Went the distance
Now I'm back on my feet
Just a man and his will to survive
So many times, it happened too fast
You trade your passion for glory
Don't lose your grip on the dreams of the past
You must fight just to keep them alive

* It's the eye of the tiger
It's the thrill of the fight
Risin' up to the challenge
Of our rival
And the last known survivor
Stalks his prey in the night
And his fortune must always be
Eye of the tiger

Face to face, out in the heat
Hangin' tough, stayin' hungry
They stack the odds
Still we take to the street
Fot the kill with the skill to survive
(Repeat *)

Risin' up straight to the top
Had the guts, got the glory
Went the distance
Now I'm not gonna stop
Just a man and his will to survive
(Repeat *)

The eye of the tiger
The eye of the tiger
The eye of the tiger
The eye of the tiger

I'm Still Waiting Here For You


I'm Still Waiting Here For You
Composer(s): Paul Anka
Performer(s): Paul Anka



(You didn't even say goodbye)
So I sit here and I cry
there's nothing left for me to do
but I'm still waiting here for you

(You didn't even say you cared)
Now my love in you is shared
I don't know why you made me blue
but I'm still waiting here for you

I will walk through the storm
All my tears fell like the rain
I will long & I will mourn
Till you're back in my arms once again

(So darling, won't you hear my plea)
And please return your love to me
And then I will not be so blue
And I'll no longer wait for you

(So darling, won't you hear my plea)
Darling, hear my plea
(Please return your love to me)
Return your love to me
And I will not be so blue
And I'll no longer wait for you
(You didn't even say goodbye)

Eye In The Sky


Eye In The Sky
Composer(s): Eric Woolfson; Alan Parsons
Performer(s): The Alan Parsons Project;
and various other artists



Don't think sorry's easily said
Don't try turning tables instead
You've taken lots of Chances before
But I'm not gonna give anymore
Don't ask me
That's how it goes
Cause part of me knows what you're thinkin'

Don't say words you're gonna regret
Don't let the fire rush to your head
I've heard the accusation before
And I ain't gonna take any more
Believe me
The sun in your Eyes
Made some of the lies worth believing

Chorus:
I am the eye in the sky
Looking at you
I can read your mind
I am the maker of rules
Dealing with fools
I can cheat you blind
And I don't need to see any more
To know that
I can read your mind, I can read your mind

Don't leave false illusions behind
Don't Cry cause I ain't chnaging my mind
So find another fool like before
Cause I ain't gonna live anymore believing
Some of the lies while all of the Signs are deceiving

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

and various other artists



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 (Miguel Mateos)


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

Performer(s)): Ensemble Cast



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!
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'm sorry dear, so sorry dear
I'm sorry I made you cry

One little word, one little smile
One little kiss won't you try
It breaks my heart to hear you sigh
I'm sorry I made you cry
