How Much I've Lied


How Much I've Lied
Composer(s): Gram Parsons; Pam Rifkin
Performer(s): Elvis Costello;
and various other artists



Darling, there is one thing I must tell you, you must know
It's so hard to say the words I feel
This fancy that I'm on's been going on too long
It's time to stop pretending things are real
'Cause I've been living deep in sin, I've been living blind
And I just don't know what's right or wrong
To take a chance on losing you is such a silly thing to do
A chance I might wake up and find you gone

Blue, so blue, my love is burning blue
Any private flame could be a lie
Blue, so blue, my love still burns for you
But I know I'll only make you cry

A thief can only steal from you
He cannot break your heart
He can never touch the precious things inside
Someone like you should surely be
Miles and miles away from me
Then you'd never care how much I've lied
So try to understand the pain
It takes so long when I explain
Please don't you forget how much I've lied
How much I've lied

A National Acrobat


A National Acrobat
((Latin Version: Funambulus Domesticus (by Rondellus) - 2002))
Composer(s): Tony Iommi - Ozzy Osbourne - Geezer Butler - Bill Ward
First release by: Black Sabbath - 1973



I am the world that hides
The universal secret of all time
Destruction of the empty spaces
Is my one and only crime
I've lived a thousand times
I found out what it means to be believed
The thoughts and images
The unborn child that never was conceived

When little worlds collide
I'm trapped inside my embryonic cell
And flashing memories
Are cast into the never ending well
The name that scorns the face
The child that never sees the cause of man
The deathly darkness that
Belies the fate of those who never ran

Well I know its hard for you
To know the reason why
And I know you'll understand
More when it's time to die
Don't believe the life you have
Will be the only one
You have to let your body sleep
To let your soul live on

Love has given life to you
And now it's your concern
Unseen eyes of inner life
Will make your soul return
Still I look but not to touch
The seeds of life are sown
Curtain of the future falls
The secret stays unknown

Just remember love is life
And hate is living death
Treat your life for what it's worth
And live for every breath
Looking back I've lived and learned
But now I'm wondering
Here I wait and only guess
What this next life will bring

(How Much Is) That Doggie In The Window?


(How Much Is) That Doggie In The Window?
Composer(s): Bob Merrill
Performer(s): Patti Page



How much is that doggie in the window? (arf! arf!)
The one with the waggley tail
How much is that doggie in the window? (arf! arf!)
I do hope that doggie's for sale

I must take a trip to California
And leave my poor sweetheart alone
If he has a dog, he won't be lonesome
And the doggie will have a good home

How much is that doggie in the window? (arf! arf!)
The one with the waggley tail
How much is that doggie in the window? (arf! arf!)
I do hope that doggie's for sale

I read in the paper there are robbers (woof! woof!)
With flashlights that shine in the dark
My love needs a doggie to protect him
And scare them away with one bark

I don't want a bunny or a kitty
I don't want a parrot that talks
I don't want a bowl of little fishies
He can't take a goldfish for a walk

How much is that doggie in the window? (arf! arf!)
The one with the waggley tail
How much is that doggie in the window? (arf! arf!)
I do hope that doggie's for sale
I do hope that doggie's for sale

Funambulus Domesticus


Funambulus Domesticus
((Adapted from: A National Acrobat (by Black Sabbath) - 1973))
Composer(s): Tony Iommi - Ozzy Osbourne - Geezer Butler - Bill Ward - Kristina Leinemann
Performer(s): Rondellus - 2002



Sum mundus continens
secretum hoc aetatum omnium
Inana toca destruebam
cuius ego certe reus

Hie vixi mitlies
Invent quid sit esse somnia
vei simulacra, puer
qui numquam natus nec conceptus est

Collapsis mundis sum
constrictus embryonica in mea
Memoriae carae
funduntur infinito puteo

Non habet faciem
puer numquam natus, numquam tiens vir
Mortales tenebrae
obducunt fata non currentium

Tu erode mihi nunc
cum sermocinor
Tibi est difficile
vet scire causas has

Credo te capturam plus
cum moritura es
Mum praesentem vitam tuam
tu credis unicam?

Nunc moriatur corpus tuum
ut vivat animus
Velimne, ut audias?
Ut cogam vel te?

Amor fecit vivam te
Nunc vitam cura tu
Haec internae vitae vis
tuum reddet animum

Ego specto, tangens nil
Cum semen sertum est
Clara nunc futura sunt
Secretum manet clam

Amor, sci, est vitae sors
est ira quidem rnors
Vitam aestima luam
his bonis nunc truens

Retro spectans multum scio
Sed nunc admiror, heus
et exspecto, quaercns me
Quid vita nova fert?

A Nation Once Again


A Nation Once Again
Composer(s): Thomas Osbourne Davis
Performer(s): The Irish Tenors



When Boyhood's fire was in my blood
I read of ancient freemen
When Greece and Rome who Bravely stood
Three hundred men and three men
And then I prayed I might yet see
Our fetters rent in twain
And Ireland long a province be
A Nation Once Again

A Nation Once Again
A Nation Once Again
And Ireland long a province be a nation once again

And from that time through wildest woe
That hope has shone a far light
Nor could love's brightest glow
Outshine that solemn starlight
It seemed to watch above my head in forum, field and fane
It's angels voice sang `round my bed
A Nation Once Again

A Nation Once Again
A Nation Once Again
And Ireland long a province be a nation once again

It whispered too that freedom's ark
And service high and holy
Would be profane by feeling dark
For passions vane or lowly
But freedom comes from God's right hand
And needs a Godly train
And rightous men must make our land
A Nation Once Again

A Nation Once Again
A Nation Once Again
And Ireland long a province be a nation once again

So as I grew from boy to man
I bent me to that bidding
My spirit of each selfish plan
And cruel passion ridding
For thus, I hoped one day to aid
Oh can such hope be vain?
When my dear country shall be made
A Nation Once Again

A Nation Once Again
A Nation Once Again
And Ireland long a province be a nation once again

How Many Times Do I Have To Tell You?


How Many Times Do I Have To Tell You?
Composer(s): Harold Adamson; Jimmy McHugh
Performer(s): Dick Haymes



How many times do I have to tell you
That you’re the person that I adore?
How many times do I have to tell you
And not repeat what I have said before?

How many ways can I say I miss you
And skip the ever familiar rhymes?
How many times do I have to kiss you?
Don’t make it less than a million times

I’ve said over and over and over and over again
That you are my one obsession
But I’d be willing to say it again and again
If I thought it would make an impression

How many dreams do I have to sell you
To make the one in my heart come true?
How many times do I have to tell you
Before you know I’m in love with you?

How many dreams do I have to sell you
To make the one in my heart come true?
How many times do I have to tell you
Before you know I’m in love with you?

A Must To Avoid


A Must To Avoid
Composer(s): Steve Barri - P.F. Sloan
First release by: Herman's Hermits - 1966
Covered by multiple other artists

Versions In Other Languages:
1966 - Les Petites Choses (by Claude François)
1966 - Uno Solo Di Noi (by I Camaleonti)



She's a must to avoid
A complete impossibility
She's a must to avoid
Better take it from me

You'll think she's a prize at the start
But take my advice, play it smart
She's nothin' but trouble
Better cut out on the double
Before she gets into your heart

She's a must to avoid
A complete impossibility
She's a must to avoid
Better take it from me

When you stare into her pretty blue eyes
There's no way to see through her disguise
But don't try to love her 'cause you'll quickly discover
You're trapped in the web of her lies

She's a must to avoid
A complete impossibility
She's a must to avoid
Better take it from me

Her lips look inviting it's true
But lots of other guys have felt like you do
She'll build up your hopes and when you need her the most
That's when she'll say goodbye to you

She's a must to avoid
A complete impossibility
She's a must to avoid
Better take it from me

How Many Times Can We Say Goodbye


How Many Times Can We Say Goodbye
Composer(s): Steve Goodman
Performer(s): Luther Vandross; Dionne Warwick



Here we are so close to the end now
Still holding on and trying to pretend now
Clinging to love we both know is dying
We've tried and tried to find the solution
But Darling
All our dreams have been played out
Still we go on hopelessly trying

How many times can we say good-bye
How many times can we see love die
How many times can we give it one more try
Before we really say good-bye
Good-bye

We're so in love but wrong for each other
Each hurt that heals brings on another
Both of us abusing
Both of us using
Darling
It's time to stop pretending
There's just no way to rewrite our ending
We're caught in this game
And we both know we're losing, but

How many times can we say good-bye
How many times can we see love die
How many times can we give it one more try
Before we really say good-bye
Good-bye
Good-bye

How many times can we breakup and makeup
Both of our hearts refusing to wake up
Just can't go on and on
Living a lie
Though I'll always love you

How many times can we say good-bye
How many times can we watch love die
How many times can we give it one more try
Before we really say good-bye
Good-bye
Bye-bye
Good-bye
Bye-bye

Good-bye

A Mulher De Cada Porto


A Mulher De Cada Porto
Composer(s): Chico Buarque - Edú Lobo
Performer(s): Edú Lobo



Ele:
Quem me dera ficar meu amor, de uma vez
Mas escuta o que dizem as ondas do mar
Se eu me deixo amarrar por um mês
Na amada de um porto
Noutro porto outra amada é capaz
De outro amor amarrar, ah
Minha vida, querida, não é nenhum mar de rosas
Chora não, vou voltar

Ela:
Quem me dera amarrar meu amor quase um mês
Mas escuta o que dizem as pedras do cais
Se eu deixasse juntar de uma vez meus amores num porto
Transbordava a baía com todas as forças navais
Minha vida, querido, não é nenhum mar de rosas
Volta não, segue em paz

Os Dois:
Minha vida querido (querida) não é nenhum mar de rosas

Ele:
Chora não

Ela:
Segue em paz

How Many Tears


How Many Tears
Composer(s): Gerry Goffin; Carole King
Performer(s): Bobby Vee; Carole King



(Yum diddy dum diddy um)

How many tears can you cry when you're sad and lonely?
And how many tears can you cry when someone makes you blue?
That's a question I'm still unable to answer
'Cause I can't stop my cryin' over you

(Yum diddy dum diddy um)

How many lies can you can you count when you just can't sleep at night?
And how many lies can you count before your heart is free?
That's a question I'm still unable to answer
'Cause I'm still countin' the lies you told to me

(Yum diddy dum diddy um)

There's just no end to all the broken promises that I recall
I was a fool to fall for you
It hurts to know you played a game and went and had yourself a ball
And through it all made me blue

(Yum diddy dum diddy um)

How many tears can you cry when it all is over?
And how many tears can you cry when you want someone new?
That's a question I'm still unable to answer
'Cause I can't stop my love for you

(Yum diddy dum diddy um)
(Yum diddy dum diddy um)
That's a question I'm still unable to answer
'Cause I can't stop my love for you

How many tears..................

A Moving Story


A Moving Story
Composer(s): Chris Difford - Glenn Tilbrook
Performer(s): Squeeze



She moved from Clapham
And didn't look back
Her life was changed in an instant
The van was filled up
And tied to the rack
Her home that now seemed so distant
Kissing goodbye
To her friends on the stairs
She felt a loss deep within her
Sat in the front seat with stuff everywhere
The neighbours said they would ring her
They moved to the sea front
And loved their new view
Of tides coming in on the shingle
She and her daughter
Found new things to do
At last it was good to be single
And in the summer
The place came alive
Lights on the pier in the evening
The fresh sea air
And could cut with a knife
Such a wonderful feeling

She worked in a pub
Where bands would appear
On a tiny stage in the corner
She watched them load in
With tattered old gear
The place would get like a sauna
London had gone now
Her new life was strong
She found herself a new karma
She fell for a man
Who played with a band
And took her life from it's drama

She moved from Clapham
And didn't look back
The past was neatly extinguished
He was much younger
But she lived with that
He struggled hard with his english
She felt his loving
And proudly reclaimed
All of the warmth she'd been lacking
They lay in bed
Looking out at the rain
No more moving or packing

She moved from Clapham
And didn't look back
Her life had changed in an instant

How Many Teardrops


How Many Teardrops
Composer(s): Rick Rodell
Performer(s): Lou Christie



How many teardrops must I cry till you believe in me?
And how many teardrops must I dry to end this misery?

I wanna know: how many teardrops must I cry yi yi yi yi
Must I cry, have to fall
To say you're mine (you're mine) only mine (you're mine)
Mi yi yi yi yi yine

I wish I knew the reason why you've gone & made me blue
You didn't even tell me that you and I were through
I wanna know: how many teardrops must I cry
Must I cry, have to fall
To say you're mine (you're mine) only mine

It's all a part of a little game that you had cooked up for me
Tryin' to find out just how much you really mean to me
If that's the reason for leavin', there's no reason to explain
'Cause baby, I really need you like the roses need the rain

I wanna know: how many teardrops must I cry yi yi yi yi
Must I cry, have to fall
To say you're mine (how many teardrops)
Oh must I cry (how many teardrops)
Oh must I cry (how many teardrops)

A Mother's Way


A Mother's Way
Composer(s): Reg Keating
Performer(s): Foster & Allen



It's just a mother's way
To worry through the day
'Bout every little thing
Like falling off a swing
When you are out at play

The years slide quickly by
The Summers seem to fly
And then you move along
You break out on your own
But you don't see her cry

For a while she hides behind a smile
But then her eyes reveal
She worries still today

Take her hand
Show her you understand
A little tenderness will go a long, long way

And now the years have flown
She's sitting all alone
With all her photographs and memories of the past
She's glad when you come home

For a while she hides behind a smile
But then her eyes reveal
She worries still today

Take her hand
Show her you understand
A little tenderness will go a long, long way

For a while she hides behind a smile
But then her eyes reveal
She worries still today

Take her hand
Show her you understand
A little tenderness will go a long, long way
A little tenderness will go a long, long way

A Mother's Love Is A Blessing


A Mother's Love Is A Blessing
(Traditional)



An Irish boy was leaving
Leaving his native home
Crossing the broad Atlantic
Once more he wished to roam
And as he was leaving his mother
Who was standing on the quay
She threw her arms around his waist
And this to him did say

A mother's love's a blessing
No matter where you roam
Keep her while she's living
You'll miss her when she's gone
Love her as in childhood
Though feeble, old and grey
For you'll never miss a mother's love
Till she's buried beneath the clay

And as the years go onwards
I'll settle down in life
And choose a nice young colleen
And take her for my wife
And as the babes grow older
And climb around my knee
I'll teach them the very same lesson
That my mother taught to me

A mother's love's a blessing
No matter where you roam
Keep her while she's living
You'll miss her when she's gone
Love her as in childhood
Though feeble, old and grey
For you'll never miss a mother's love
Till she's buried beneath the clay

How Many?


How Many?
Composer(s): Howard Blair; Hal Barnes
Performer(s): Jim Reeves;
and various other artists



If all the guys you ever knew
Were standing here in front of you
I wonder just how many there would be?

If everyone you ever kissed
Was put on paper in a list
I wonder just how many there would be?

You must have kissed a million
For everywhere we go
You seem so well acquainted
The way they smile and say "hello"

If I could count their broken hearts
Like I would have if we should part
I wonder just how many there would be?

A Mother's Love (Diana Ross)


A Mother's Love
Composer(s): Toshifumi Hinata - Bill Wray - Diana Ross
Performer(s): Diana Ross



In a world of make believe
You can change all that you see
But in the world of reality
You've taught me all that I need

Time like a river flows
Twisting and turning all the way
Life is an endless road
You've been with me day by day

The only way I can thank you
Is to be the best that I can be
If we hold on together
Just you and me

A mother's love is forever
A mother's love is for free
It doesn't matter if you're good or bad
She's there for whatever you need

In the world of fantasy
Hold on to your dreams
Open up your heart and see
All the love you need is me

Time like a river flows
Twisting and turning all the way
Life is an endless road
You've been with me day by day

You are you and I am me
You've made me all that I am
Heart to heart and hand to hand
Always there to understand

A mother's love is forever
A mother's love is for free
It doesn't matter if you're good or bad
She's there for whatever you need

Doesn't matter if you're good or bad
There's nothing like a mother's love

How Lucky You Are


How Lucky You Are
Composer(s): Desmond O'Connor; Eddie Cassen
Performer(s): The Andrews Sisters;
and various other artists



As you walk, as you talk with the one you love
Do you know just how lucky you are?
When you stroll hand in hand ‘neath the moon above
Does your heart sing how lucky you are?

There’re so many heartaches in this world of ours
But sometimes a dream will come true

When the one that you love is in love with you
That’s the greatest of blessings by far
And you don’t know how lucky you are.

There’re so many heartaches in this world of ours
But sometimes a dream will come true

When the one that you love is in love with you
That’s the greatest of blessings by far
And you don’t know how lucky you are
