If I Had A Rocket Launcher
If I Had A Rocket Launcher
Composer(s): Bruce Cockburn
First release by: Bruce Cockburn - 1984
Covered by multiple other artists
Here comes the helicopter -- second time today
Everybody scatters and hopes it goes away
How many kids they've murdered only God can say
If I had a rocket launcher...I'd make somebody pay
I don't believe in guarded borders and I don't believe in hate
I don't believe in generals or their stinking torture states
And when I talk with the survivors of things too sickening to relate
If I had a rocket launcher...I would retaliate
On the Rio Lacantun, one hundred thousand wait
To fall down from starvation -- or some less humane fate
Cry for guatemala, with a corpse in every gate
If I had a rocket launcher...I would not hesitate
I want to raise every voice -- at least I've got to try
Every time I think about it water rises to my eyes
Situation desperate, echoes of the victims cry
If I had a rocket launcher...Some son of a bitch would die

Karma
Karma
Composer(s): Lisette Alvarez; Eddie Martínez
Performer(s): Raphael
Si es que todo lo que hicimos mal en otra vida
Aqui se paga.
Un error, una pasion fatal y sin medida
Estar amada
Fui serpiente de tu paraiso
Y mordiste el fruto de mi hechizo
Pirata que tu carga de oro y plata
Te robo al amanecer
Liberame, amor sin tiempo
Que si guardas vengaza en tu alma
Con mis besos borrare este karma
Ven, liberame de esta condena
Tu silencio es mi peor sentencia
El castigo de tu indiferencia
Nadie gana es este juego
No me quemes en el fuego del amor
Si es que acaso no haber hecho el bien en otra vida
Es castigado
Debo ser culpable yo tambien y arrepentido
De mi pecado
De quizas haberte abandonado
O una lanza para tu costado
Mirada que en la fuente de agua clara
Te dejo morir de sed
Liberame, amor sin tiempo
Que aunque no recuerdes el pasado
N las vidas que pase a tu lado
Ven, liberame de esta condena
Ven dispuesta a abandonar las armas
Y redime de mi alma de este karma
La leccion esta aprendida
Cambia el ritmo de esta vida con tu amor

If I Had A Million Dollars
If I Had A Million Dollars
Composer(s): Matty Malneck; Johnny Mercer
Performer(s): The Boswell Sisters
and multiple other artists
Castles with their thrones
Ships upon the sea
Gold and precious stones
All belong to me
Foolish though it seems
Every word is true
Though they're only my own dreams
My dreams belong to you
If I had a million dollars
I know just what I would do
I'd tie a string around the World
And bring all of it to you
Those little things you pray for
Whatever they may be
I'd have enough to pay for
Them all, C.O.D
If I spent a million dollars
I know I would never care
Because as long as you were mine
I'd still be a millionaire
That's why I'm always dreaming
Dreaming of what I would do
If I had a million dollars for you
If I had a million dollars
I know just what I would do
I would tie a string around the World
And bring all of it to you
Those little things you pray for
Whatever they may be
I'd have enough to pay for
Them all, C.O.D
If I spent a million dollars
I know I would never care
Because as long as you were mine
I'd still be a millionaire
That's why I'm always dreaming
Dreaming of what I would do
If I had a million dollars for you

Karn Evil 9: 3rd Impression
Karn Evil 9: 3rd Impression
Composer(s): Emerson, Lake & Palmer
Performer(s): Emerson, Lake & Palmer
Man alone; born of stone
Will stamp the dust of time
His hands strike the flame of his soul
Ties a rope to a tree and hangs the Universe
Until the winds of laughter blows cold
Fear that rattles in men's ears
And rears it's hideous head
Dread .... Death .... in the wind ....
Man of steel pray and kneel
With fever's blazing torch
Thrust in the face of the night
Draws a blade if compassion
Kissed by countless Kings
Whose jewelled trumpet words blind his sight
Walls that no man thought would fall
The altars of the just
Crushed .... Dust .... in the wind ....
No man yields who flies in my ship
Danger!
Let the bridge computer speak
Stranger!
Load your program
I am yourself
No computer stands in my way
Only blood can cancel my pain
Guardians of a new clear dawn
Let the maps of war be drawn
Rejoice! Glory is ours!
Our young men have not died in vain
Their graves need no flowers
The tapes have recorded their names
I am all there is
Negative! Primitive! Limited! I let you live!
But I gave you life
What else could you do?
To do what was right
I'm perfect! Are you?

I'm lonesome and blue
But when I look at you
There's one thing I know is true

I've waited a lifetime
I've had a delight time
Those long nights have made mr blue
Wouldn't be waiting
Wouldn't be hating
If I had a girl like you!
I don't know why
I'm feeling the way I do
I know that I
Haven't made a mistake in you!
Everything seems
Like one of my dreams
Wake me up and say it's true!
Wouldn't be dreamin'
Wouldn't be schemin'
If I had a girl like you!
If I had a girl like you!
If I had a girl like you!
I don't know why
I'm feelin' the way I do
I know that I
Haven't made a mistake in you!
Everything seems
Like one o' my dreams
Wake me up and say it's true!
Wouldn't be dreamin'
Wouldn't be schemin'
If I had a girl like you!

Karusellvisan
English Title: The Carousel Song
Composer(s): Stig Olin
Performer(s): Agnetha Fältskog & Christian
Kom raska på
Stora och små
Köp karusell-biljett
Världen skall ses från en höjd
Om man med den skall bli nöjd
Och vi kan ge
Största succé
Herrskapet nånsin sett
Andersson, Lundström är här
Kom och snurra med oss jungfru skär
Kom följ med i vår karusell
Och se jorden gå runt vår sol
Kom och snurra med oss ikväll
Håll i hatter och krås och kjol
För en tolvskilling och en sång
Ger vi er tidsfördriv
Kom och se våran värld en gång
I ett nytt perspektiv
Jag tycker att
Jorden är platt
Men alla lärda män
Säger att vår himlakropp
Snurrar så solen går opp
Tro't om ni vill
Solen står still
Fast den på himmelen
Rullar var dag ifrån ost
Därför att världen är rund som en prost
Kom följ med i vår karusell
Och se jorden gå runt vår sol
Köm och snurra med oss ikväll
Håll i hatter och krås och kjol
För en tolvskilling och en sång
Får ni resa ikväll
Och se jorden gå runt en gång
Här i vår karusell
Är du lycklig och ung
Är du prins eller kung
Är du blyg videung
Så kom med oss och sjung
Är du gammal och ful
Då behövs det nåt kul
Kom och snurra på lyckans hjul
Är du lycklig och ung
Är du prins eller kung
Är du blyg videung
Så kom med oss och sjung
Är du gammal och ful
Då behövs det nåt kul
Kom och snurra på lyckans hjul
Är du lycklig och ung
Är du prins eller kung
Är du blyg videung
Så kom med oss och sjung
Är du gammal och ful
Då behövs det nåt kul
Kom och snurra på lyckans hjul

If I Had A Girl Like You (George Formby)
If I Had A Girl Like You
Composer(s): Phil Parke; Harry Parr-Davies
Performer(s): George Formby
If I wasn't me, but a different sort of chap
What a romeo I'd be
I'd be able to see it's an awful handicap
When a guy's as shy as me
What happiness might come my way
If I could just speak up and say
I'll bet I could work wonders, seems too good to be true
I could be a 'b' marvel if I had a girl like you
Single handed I'd rescue ship and captain and crew
I'd be number one hero if I had a girl like you
I'd spend my leisure finding hidden treasure
No one could measure the things that I do
In the stormiest weather I could eat a pie stew
I'd become a real sailor if I had a girl like you
I could do without moonlight and give the stars a rest too
I'd be warm in a snowstorm if I had a girl like you
All the radio programmes would be strictly taboo
They could keep their old brains trust if I had a girl like you
I'd never long for meals they ring a gong for
The shows they throng for I never would view, I'm telling you
I'd have pennies from heaven, I could live in a shoe
They could take me clothes coupons if I had a girl like you

Kashmir
Kashmir
Composer(s): John Bonham; John Paul Jones;
Jimmy Page; Robert Plant;
and various other artists
Oh, let the sun beat down upon my face
Stars to fill my dreams
I am a traveler of both time and space
To be where I have been
Secret elders of a gentle race
This world is seldom seen
Talk of days for which they sit and wait
All will be revealed
Talk and song from tongues of lilting grace
Whose sounds caress my ear
But not a word I heard could I relate
The story was quite clear
Whoa-oh-hoh, whoa-oh-wa-oh
Oooh, oh baby, I been flyin'
Lord, yeah, mama, there ain't no denyin'
Oh, oooh yes, I've been flying
Mama ma, ain't no denyin', no denyin'
Oh, all I see turns to brown
As the sun burns the ground
And my eyes fill with sand
As I scan this wasted land
Tryin' to find, tryin' to find where I beeeeen-ahhh-ahhhh
Oh, pilot of the storm who leaves no trace
Like thoughts inside a dream
Heed the path that led me to that place
Yellow desert screen
My Shangri-La beneath the summer moon
I will return again
Sure as the dust that floats high in June
When movin' through Kashmir
Oh, father of the four winds, fill my sails
Across the sea of years
With no provision but an open face
'Long the straits of fear
Wha-oh, wha-oh
Whaoh-oh, oh
Ohhhh
Well, when I want, when I'm on my way, yeah
When I see, when I see the way, you stay, yeah
Ooh, yeah-yeah, ooh, yeah-yeah, well I'm down, yes
Ooh, yeah-yeah, ooh, yeah-yeah, well I'm down, so down
Ooh, my baby, oooh, my baby, let me take you there
Oh, oh, come on, come on
Oh, let me take you there
Let me take you there
Whoo-ooh, yeah-yeah, whoo-ooh, yeah-yeah, let me take you

You Started Something (Rosemary Clooney)
You Started Something
Composer(s): Al Rinker; Floyd Huddleston
Performer(s): Rosemary Clooney
and multiple other artists
You were just passing by, but you started something
I may never know why, but you started something
With your glance a new romance was in the making
Just like the sun starts the flowers to waking
I knew all about love, I said this can't happen
But then you came along and caught my heart napping
Now each hour and each new day will always be spring
`Cause you really started something
I knew all about love, I said this can't happen
But then you came along and caught my heart napping
Now each hour and each new day will always be spring
`Cause you really started something

Kathy's Song
Kathy's Song
Composer(s): Paul Simon
First release by: Paul Simon
and multiple other artists
I hear the drizzle of the rain
Like a memory it falls
Soft and warm continuing
Tapping on my roof and walls
And from the shelter of my mind
Through the window of my eyes
I gaze beyond the rain-drenched streets
To a land where my heart lies
My mind's distracted and diffused
My thoughts are many miles away
They lie with you when you're asleep
And kiss you when you start your day
And a song I was writing is left undone
I don't know why I spend my time
Writing songs I can't believe
With words that tear and strain to rhyme
And so you see I have come to doubt
All that I once held as true
I stand alone without beliefs
The only truth I know is you
And as I watch the drops of rain
Weave their weary paths and die
I know that I am like the rain
There but for the grace of you go I

You Started Something (Betty Grable, Bob Cummings, Don Ameche)
You Started Something
Composer(s): Leo Robin; Ralph Rainger
Performer(s): Betty Grable, Bob Cummings, Don Ameche
and multiple other artists
You started something
Yes you did, but you didn't even try to
You smiled and my heart began to fly to the moon
You started something
Yes you did, but you didn't even know it
And now I'm as wacky as a poet in June
I believe in fairy tales
I believe in Santa Claus
I believe that dreams come true
I do, because
You started something
Yes you did, but you didn't even know it
I knew right away that you were my new romance

Katmandu
Katmandu
Composer(s): Bob Seger
Performer(s): Bob Seger
I think I'm going to Katmandu
that's really, really where I'm going to
If I ever get out of here
that's what I'm gonna do
K-K-K-K-K-Katmandu
I think that's where I'm going to
If I ever get out of here
I'm going to Katmandu
I got no kick against the west coast
Warner Brothers are such good hosts
I raise my whiskey glass and give them a toast
I'm sure they know it's true
I got no rap against the southern states
Every time I've been there it's been great
But now I'm leaving and I can't be late
and to myself be true
That's why I'm going to Katmandu
up to the mountains where I'm going to
And if I ever get out of here
that's what I'm gonna do
K-K-K-K-K-Katmandu
that's really, really where I'm going to
oh, if I ever get out of here I'm going to Katmandu
I got no quarrel with the midwest
the folks out there have given me their best
I lived there all my life, I've been their guest
I sure have loved it, too
I'm tired of looking at the TV news
I'm tired of driving hard and paying dues
I figure, baby, I've got nothing to lose
I'm tired of being blue
That's why I'm going to Katmandu
up to the mountains where I'm going to
If I ever get out of here
that's what I'm gonna do
K-K-K-K-K-Katmandu
take me, baby, 'cause I'm going with you
If I ever get out of here
I'm going to Katmandu
I ain't got nothing 'gainst the east coast
You want some people where they got the most
And new york city's like a friendly ghost
you seem to pass right through
I know I'm gonna miss the USA
I guess I'll miss it every single day
But no one loves me here anyway
I know my playing is through
That's why I'm going to Katmandu
up to the mountains where I'm going to
If I ever get out of here
that's what I'm gonna do
K-K-K-K-K-Katmandu
really, really going to
if I ever get out of here
if I ever get out of here
if I ever get out of here
I'm going to Katmandu

If I Give You My Love
Composer(s): Herbert Leventhal
Performer(s): Ray Charles
and multiple other artists
If I give you my love, what will you give in return
If I give you my love, will you cause my heart to yearn
And will it bring me sadness, with so many tears
And will it bring me gladness, all through out the years
If I give you my word, will you give me your word too
If I vow to yours, promise me that you'll be true
Am I playing with fire, tell me are you concerned
If I give you my love what will you give in return
Am I playing with fire, tell me are you concerned
If I give you my love, what will you give in return

Theme from the TV Show "The Ann Sothern Show"
Composer(s): Bonnie Lake; Ann Sothern
Katy, all the fellahs fall for Katy
'Cause Katy (wolf whistle) is the gal they adore
Katy, they'll give their all for Katy
'Cause Katy (wolf whistle) makes 'em whistle for more
She'll out-twinkle any star above
When you see her passin' by
Just one look and they all fall in love
She's the apple of their eye
Oh my, Katy
Katy, all the fellahs call for Katy
'Cause Katy (wolf whistle) is the gal they adore
They want more, more, more, more, more
Of Katy

If I Give My Soul
If I Give My Soul
Composer(s): Billy Joe Shaver
First release by: Billy Joe Shaver - 1993
Covered by multiple other artists
Down a dangerous road, I have come to where I'm standing
With a heavy heart, and my hat clutched in my hand
Such a foolish fool, God ain't known no greater sinner
I have come in search of Jesus, hoping he will understand
I had a woman once, she was kind and she was gentle
Had a child by me, who grew up to be a man
I had a steady job, till I started into drinking
And I started making music that went with the devil's band
Oh the years flew by like a mighty rush of eagles
My dreams and plans were all scattered in the wind
It's a lonesome life, when you lose the ones you live for
If I make my peace with Jesus will they take me back again
If I give my soul, will he cleanse these clothes i'm wearin'
If I give my soul, will he put new boots on my feet
If I bow my head and beg God for his forgiveness
Will he breathe new breath inside me and give back my dignity
If I give my soul, will he stop my hands from shaking
If I give my soul, will my son love me again
If I give my soul, and she knows I really mean it
If I give my soul to Jesus will she take me back again
If I give my soul to Jesus will she take me back again

Katy
Composer(s): Marc Aryan
Performer(s): Marc Aryan
Ô! Katy, Katy
Je revois souvent
Ce petit coin discret
Dans ce vieux restaurant
L'air, près de la mer
Les rumeurs du port
Dispensaient à la nuit
Bien plus de charme encore!
Je t'aimais, Katy
Je t'aimais déjà
Mais tous les mots d'amour
Restaient au fond de moi
Par délicatesse, Katy
Pour un premier soir
Et parce je pensais
Qu'on pourrait se revoir
Maintenant Katy
Que je suis parti
Vers d'autres horizons
Si loin de ton pays
Je puis te le dire, Katy
Même le gai soleil
De mon midi
N'a pas chassé ton nom
Si doux, du fond de mon esprit!

Performer(s): Nat King Cole
and multiple other artists
If I give my heart to you
Will you handle it with care
Will you always treat me tenderly
And in every way be fair
If I give my heart to you
Will you give me all your love
Will you swear that you'll be true to me
By the light that shines above
And will you sigh with me when I'm sad
Smile with me when I'm glad
And always be as you are with me tonight
Think it over and be sure
Please don't answer til you do
When you promise all those things to me
Then I'll give my heart to you
And will you sigh with me when I'm sad
Smile with me when I'm glad
And always be as you are with me tonight
Think it over and be sure
Please don't answer til you do
When you promise all those things to me
Then I'll give my heart to you

Katy Daley
Composer(s): Ralp Stanley
Performer(s): The Stanley Brothers:
Roy Lee Centers; The Lonesome River Band
With her old man she came from Tiperary
In the pioneering days of '42
Her old man was shot in tombstone City
For the making of his good old mountain dew
Come on down the mountain Katy Daley
Come on down the mountain Katy do
Can't you hear us calling Katy Daley
We want to drink your good old mountain dew
Wake up and pay attention Katy Daley
For I'm the judge that's gonna sentence you
All the boys in court have drunk your whiskey
To tell the truth I like a little too
So to the jail they took poor Katy Daley
But pretty soon the gates were open wide
Angels came for poor ole Katy Daley
Took her far across the great divide
