A New Day
A New Day
Composer(s): Killing Joke
Performer(s): Killing Joke
You
You wake up to a new day
Forwards
We move towards a new way oh
Come with me
Gather with your torches
Singing
Dance by night we all are strong
A new day....oh, a new day
A new way...oh, a new way
Somewhere the sun shines in the east
A new day....oh, a new day
Touch me
Tell me I'm still human
And wild
We'll run until we run ??run long??
Our bodies talk, words are lost
Hand in hand we follow
All around
A man becomes the people
A new day....oh, a new day
A new way...oh, a new way
Somewhere the sun shines in the east
A new day....oh, a new day
You
You caught me in your spell
Hypnotized
You touched me and now I'm ??gone??
Conflict
Every day the same
Wishing
Wishing we could see the way
A new day....oh, a new day
A new way...oh, a new way
Somewhere the sun shines in the east
A new day....oh, a new day
We watch the sun rise in the east
A new day....oh, a new day
A new day....oh, a new day
A new day....oh, a new day
A new day....oh, a new day

How Soon
How Soon
Composer(s): Al Stillman; Henry Mancini
Performer(s): Henry Mancini;
and various other artists
How soon the flame of love can die
How soon "goodnight" becomes "goodbye"
You're gone now, and life goes on now
And ev'rything seems out of tune
But time can bring a change of heart
And love can make another start
Someday, you may come back to me to stay
But who can say how soon?

A Needle In A Haystack
A Needle In A Haystack
Composer(s): Con Conrad - Herb Magidson
Performer(s): Fred Astaire
It's just like looking for a needle in a haystack
Searching for a moonbeam in the blue
Still I've got to find you
It's just like looking for a raindrop in the ocean
Searching for a dewdrop in the dew
Still I've got to find you
I'll roam the town in hope that we'll meet
Look at each face I pass on the street
Sometimes I feel the beat of your feet
But it's just my imagination
Though it's like looking for a needle in a haystack
Still I'll follow everything you do
'Cause I've got to find you

How Sad Venice Can Be
How Sad Venice Can Be ((aka Venice In Blue (Bobby Darin) - 1965))
((Adapted from: Que C'est Triste Venise (Charles Aznavour) - 1964))
Composer(s): Charles Aznavour - Françoise Dorin
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour - 1965
Versions In Other Languages:
1965 - Venedig In Grau (Corry Brokken)
1965 - Venecia Sin Ti (Charles Aznavour)
1965 - É Tão Triste Veneza (Agnaldo Timóteo)
1970 - Com'è Triste Venezia (Charles Aznavour)
How sad Venice can be
When you return alone
A fond memory
In every paving stone
I walk among the birds
That fill San Marco's Square
With echoes of her words
Around me in the air
How sad Venice can be
When mandolins play
A song she sung for me
One unforgotten day
Like images of sleep
The gondoliers go by
But when I try to weep
I find my tears are dry
How sad Venice can be
When mist is in your eyes
And you can hardly see
As pigeons fill the skies
I find the little street
And then the old cafe
Where we would always meet
To dream away the day
How sad Venice can be
Beneath the silent moon
That rises from the sea
And silvers the lagoon
I hear the vespers chime
And cross the Bridge of Sighs
I know that it is time
To bid my last goodbye
There's nothing more to say
I pass beneath the light
And then I turn away
From Venice in the night
How sad Venice can be
It's too lonely to bear
When you have lost the love
That you discovered there

(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman
(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman
Composer(s): Carole King - Gerald Wexler - Gerry Goffin
First release by: Aretha Franklin - 1967
Covered by multiple other artists
Looking out on the morning rain
I used to feel uninspired
And when I knew I had to face another day
Lord, it made me feel so tired
Before the day I met you, life was so unkind
But your love was the key to peace my mind
'Cause you make me feel, you make me feel, you make me feel like
A natural woman
When my soul was in the lost-and-found
You came along to claim it
I didn't know just what was wrong with me
Till your kiss helped me name it
Now I'm no longer doubtful of what I'm living for
'Cause if I make you happy I don't need no more
Oh, baby, what you've done to me
You make me feel so good inside
And I just want to be close to you
You make me feel so alive

How Much Tequila (Did I Drink Last Night?)
How Much Tequila (Did I Drink Last Night?)
Composer(s): Steve Goodman; John Prine
Performer(s): Steve Goodman
How much tequila did I drink last night?
It's really anybody's guess
I poured them so fast, I couldn't keep them in the glass
But this morning I sure am a mess
My head is four or five times its normal size
And I got this big old cactus stuck between my eyes
I can't recall a single thing I did or said
Or the names of all these people sleeping in this bed
Tell me how, tell me how, tell me how, tell me how
Tell me how much tequila did I drink last night?
How did I get these cuts and bruises all over my body?
I must have fallen down somehow
I believe it had something to do with karate
It's all coming back to me now
I was standing in a bar with King Kong's cousin
He must have been seven foot three
His elbow gave me a bump, and so I said "Hey, chump
Would you like to step outside with me?"
Tell me how, tell me how, tell me how, tell me how
Tell me how much tequila did I drink last night?
My mouth is filled with cotton and my brain is sore
I left last night's dinner on this morning's floor
My stomach is swollen and my eyeballs shrunk
I drank so much that my hair got drunk
I see a big old worm about ten feet long
Hallucinating purple cows
Somebody moved the furniture while I was gone
Uh oh, this is not my house
I could call us a taxi on the telephone
If I only knew where we are
I guess I'm gonna have to drive myself back home
As soon as I can find the car
Tell me how, tell me how, tell me how, tell me how
Tell me how much tequila did I drink last night?

A Natural Man
A Natural Man
Composer(s): Sandy Baron - Bobby Hebb
Performer(s): Lou Rawls
You know, there was a time when, if someone told you to do somethin', you did it
Bam! Right on!
No questions asked
It was "Yes, sir" and "Yes, mam"
You never said no
You know? Huh
But, you know, things are changing nowadays
It's a new day, babies
Folks want to take their own lives into their hands and make their own choices
No longer do they wanna go along with the program 'cause everybody say it's right
You know what I mean?
Let me tell ya what I'm talkin' about, ya see, 'cause...
I don't want no gold watch for workin' fifty years from nine till five
A-while the boss is guzzling champagne and I'm beltin' beer in some dive
'Cause I want to be happy and free
Livin' and loving for me
I want to be happy and free
Livin' and lovin' for me
Like a natural man (like a natural man)
A natural man (like a natural man)
Well now, I refuse to listen to people's thinkin' that I live too high
I'm gonna taste it now before my one life streaks on by
'Cause I want to be happy and free
Livin' and lovin' for me
I want to be happy and free
Livin' and lovin' for me
Just like a natural man (like a natural man)
I said a natural man (just like a natural man)
Well now, I tried to do what others say that I should do
They say that I should fit in, fool 'em, fake it, well
Those kinda dues just make me crazy and blue
Man, I just can't take it
So when ya see me walkin', won't ya notice that proud look in my eyes
My feet are on the ground and my soul is searchin' for the sky
'Cause I want to be happy and free
Livin' and lovin' for me
I want to be happy and free
Livin' and lovin' for me
Just like a natural man (just like a natural man)
A natural man (just like a natural man)
Just like a natural man (just like a natural man)
My feet are on the ground (just like a natural man)
My soul is searchin' for the sky (just like a natural man)
Like a natural man (just like a natural man)
No more "Yes, sir" (just like a natural man)
No more "Yes, mam" (just like a natural man)
Huh, 'cause I'm a natural man (just like a natural man)
I'm a natural man (just like a natural man)

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

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?

How Much I Feel
How Much I Feel
Composer(s): David Pack
First release by: Ambrosia - 1978
Covered by multiple other artists
Well I don't know how this whole business started
Of you thinkin' that I have been untrue
But if you think that we'd be better parted
It's gonna hurt me, but I'll break away from you
Well just give me the sign and I will be gone
Yeah....
That's how much I feel (Feel for you baby)
How much I need (I need your touch)
How much I live (I live for your lovin')
That's how much
That's how much
That's how much
That's how much
Ooh
Sleep alone and late at night I'm dreamin'
Of the togetherness that seems to be leavin' me
Oh no!
I'd give it all and then I'd give some more
If you would only love me like you had before
Oh, take hold of my hand
And all will be forgiven
That's how much I feel (Feel for you baby)
How much I need (I need your touch)
How much I live (I live for your lovin')
That's how much
That's how much
That's how much
That's how much
So you try (Try to stay in the middle)
And then you cry (Well you cry just a little)
Then we both realise (Just how foolish you may have been)
Ooh, and you try to make amends
But your better off as friends
'Cause that's how much
That's how much
That's how much
That's how much
Ooh...
How's your life been goin' on?
I got a wife now, years we've been going strong
Oh no!
There's just something that I got to say
Sometimes when we make love
I still see your face
Ooh...
Just try to recall when we were as one
Yeah...
That's how much I feel (Feel for you baby)
How much I need (I need your touch)
How much I live (I live for your lovin')
That's how much
That's how much...

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

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
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..................
