A Number And A Name
A Number And A Name
Composer(s): Steve Gillette - Tom Campbell
First release by: Steve Gillette - 1967
Covered by multiple other artists
How many times have I read farewell lines
In the things that you never seemed to say
How many times have I read those last lines
And wondered why it ended this way
Words of goodbye and all those loving lines
I must have been blind
And it seems to me a shame
That the number and the name
Both have changed with the passing of time
How you would write about the bright lights
And your words always clouded up my eyes
How you would write about the bright lights
It's a wonder that I never realized
Our race was run now another's just begun
I must have been blind
And it seems to me a shame
That the number and the name
Both have changed with the passing of time
When your letters stopped the tears that I fought
How they came in the flood of memories
When your letters stopped the tears that I fought
How they ran like the rivers to the seas
Each sunny day you slip further away
I must have been blind
And it seems to me a shame
That the number and the name
Both have changed with the passing of time

Hoy Es El Dia
Hoy Es El Dia
Composer(s): Leslie Bricusse
Performer(s): Raphael
Hoy es el dia, llego por fin
Todas mis dudas y demonios tendran fin
Y el gran esfuerzo que sufri siempre
Tendra compensacion, se bien a donde voy
Es el momento, no hay tal vez
Y todo el mundo va a rendirse a mis pies
Hoy es el dia, gano mi azar
Los sueños del ayer se que se cumpliran
Hoy es el dia, sera puntual
Todos los gritos, ritos y mitos son igual
Mi dia es, brillara mas que el sol
Pues las quimeras mias son
Se me nego hasta el pan y la sal
Ahora voy a estar muy por encima
Del bien y del mal
Hoy es el dia, no habra un error
Toda mi vida, ingenuino triunfador
No dudare, sabran quien soy
Hoy es el dia, es el gran dia
De ser dios
Hoy es el dia, tendre valor
Es hoy o nunca
El viento sopla a mi favor
Un dia asi no dira dios
Hoy es el dia
No es cualquier dia
Es el gran dia de ser dios

A Nova Conquista
A Nova Conquista
Composer(s): Raimundo Fagner - Ricardo Bezerra
Performer(s): Raimundo Fagner
Eh, satisfeito da nova conquista
Eh, muito alegre de tanto te amar
Você só pensando na vida e nos saltos
Você só olhando no jeito meus passos
Como que me perguntasse
O que mais eu queria
Porque tudo acabava em silêncio
Eu te juro
Mas meu cigarro iluminava
Tua face quase triste de amar
Amei, eu amei, mas faz de conta
Que a vida é isto mesmo
Porque tudo acabava em silêncio
Eu te juro
Eu passei a vida esperando
E sem ela minha vida ia passar
Mas sei que a gente expande um tempo inútil
E a sorte
Quando esta chega não há quem segure
Então vou fazer-te uma promessa
Outro dia a gente vai se encontrar

Performer(s): Sherbet; Julianne Baird
You told me I was the one
The only one who got your head undone
And for a while
I believed the line that you spun
But I've been looking at you
Looking closely at the things you do
I didn't see you the way you wanted me to
How
how
howzat?
You messed about
I caught you out
Howzat?
Now that I've found where you're at
It's good-bye
Well howzat?
It's good-bye
You only came for a smile
Eventhough you're really not my style
I didn't think that you'd run me round like you do
How

You messed about
I caught you out
Howzat?
Now that I've found where you're at
It's good-bye

How's The World Treating You
How's The World Treating You
Composer(s): Chet Atkins; Boudleaux Bryant
Performer(s): Chet Atkins;
and various other artists
I've had nothing but sorrow
Since you said we were through
There's no hope for tomorrow
How's the world treating you?
Every sweet thing that mattered
Has been broken in two
All my dreams have been shattered
How's the world treating you?
Got no plans for next Sunday
Got no plans for today
Every day is blue Monday
Every day you're away
Though our pathways have parted
To your memory I'm true
Guess I'll stay broken-hearted
How's the world treating you ?
Are you turning and yearning
Do you ever get through
Do you think of returning
How's the world treating you ?
Every sweet thing that mattered
How's the world treating you?
And I’m asking you darling
How's the world treating you?

A Noiva Da Cidade
Composer(s): Chico Buarque - Francis Hime
Performer(s): Chico Buarque
and multiple other artists
``Tutu-Marambá não venha mais cá
Que a mãe da criança te manda matar''
``Tutu-Marambá não venha mais cá
Que a mãe da criança te manda matar''
Ai, como essa moça é descuidada
Com a janela escancarada
Quer dormir impunemente
Ou será que a moça lá no alto
Não escuta o sobressalto
Do coração da gente
Ai, quanto descuido o dessa moça
Que papai tá lá na roça
E mamãe foi passear
E todo marmanjo da cidade
Quer entrar
Nos versos da cantiga de ninar
Pra ser um Tutu-Marambá
Ai, como essa moça é distraída
Sabe lá se está vestida
Ou se dorme transparente
Ela sabe muito bem que quando adormece
Está roubando
O sono de outra gente
Ai, quanta maldade a dessa moça
E, que aqui ninguém nos ouça
Ela sabe enfeitiçar
Pois todo malandro da cidade
Quer entrar
Nos sonhos que ela gosta de sonhar
E ser um Tutu-Marambá
``Boi, boi, boi, boi da cara preta
Pega essa menina que tem medo de careta''

Sha-la-la-la, sha-la-la-la-la-la
Ships are docking, planes are landing
A never ending supply
No more nargo, no more gangster
Conservatives can cry
I took the law and threw it away
Cause there's nothing wrong it's just for play
Theres no law, no law anymore
I want to steal from the rich and give to the poor
Sha-la-la-la, sha-la-la-la-la-la
Sha-la-la-la, sha-la-la-la-la-la
It was glowing, glowing, glowing
Glowing in the dark
It was sparkling, sparkling
Sparkling, sparking in the night
I took the law...
Winter turns to summer
Sadness turns to fun
Keep the faith, baby
You broke the rules and won
Sha-la-la-la, sha-la-la-la-la-la
Sha-la-la-la, sha-la-la-la-la-la
Sha-la-la-la, sha-la-la-la-la-la
Keep it glowing, glowing,glowing
I'm not hurting anyone
Keep it glowing, smoking, glowing
I'm howling at the moon
I took the law...
Oh baby, oh baby
Oh baby, oh baby
I took the law and threw it away
Cause there's nothing wrong it's just for play
I'm smoking, baby
I'm smoking, oh baby
Theres no law, no law anymore
I want to steal from the rich and give to the poor
Sha-la-la-la, sha-la-la-la-la-la
Sha-la-la-la, sha-la-la-la-la-la

A Nightingale Sang In Berkeley Square
A Nightingale Sang In Berkeley Square
Composer(s): Holt Marvell - Manning Sherwin
First performance/First recording by: Judy Campbell/Ray Noble and His Orch. - 1940
Covered by multiple other artists
That certain night
The night we met
There was magic abroad in the air
There were angels dining at the Ritz
And a nightingale sang in Berkeley square
I may be right I may be wrong
But I'm perfectly willing to swear
That when you turned and smiled at me
A nightingale sang in Berkeley square
The moon that lingered over London town
Poor puzzled moon he wore a frown
How could he know we two were so in love
The whole damned world seemed upside down
The streets of town were paved with stars
It was such a romantic affair
And as we kissed and said goodnight
A nightingale sang in Berekeley square
How strange it was
How sweet and strange
There was never a dream to compare
To those hazy crazy nights we met
And a nightingale sang in Berkeley square
Ah this heart of mine
Loud and fast
Like a merry-go-round in a fair
We would dance cheek to cheek
And a nightingale sang in Berkeley square
The dawn came stealing up
All gold and blue
To interrupt our rendez-vous
I still remember how you smiled and said
Was that a dream or was it true?
Our homeward step was just as light
As the dancing feet of astaire
And like an echo far away
And a nightingale sang in Berkeley square
And a nightingale sang in Berkeley square
That night in Berkeley square

However Much I Booze
However Much I Booze
Composer(s): Pete Townshend
Performer(s): The Who
I see myself on T.V., I'm a faker, a paper clown
It's clear to all my friends that I habitually lie
I just bring them down
I claim proneness to exaggeration
But the truth lies in my frustration
The children of the night, they all pass me by
Have to drench myself in brandy
In sleep I'll hide
But however much I booze
There ain't no way out
There ain't no way out
I don't care what you say, boy
There ain't no way out
I lose so many nights of sleep worrying about my responsibilities
Are the problems that screw me up really down to him or me
My ego will just confuse me
Some day it's going to up and use me
Dish me out another tailor-made compliment
Tell me about some destiny I can't prevent
And however much I squirm
There ain't no way out
There ain't no way out
I don't care what you say, boy
There ain't no way out
Won't somebody tell me how to get out of this place?!
Then the night comes down like a cell door closing
Suddenly I realize that I'm right now, I'm on the scene
While sitting here all alone with a bottle and my head a-floating
Far away from the phone and the conscience going on at me
And on at me, and I don't care what you say
There ain't no way out
There ain't no way out
Now the walls are all clawed and scratched
Like by some soul insane
In the morning I humbly detach myself
I take no blame
I just can't face my failure
I'm nothing but a well fucked sailor
You at home can easily decide what's right
By glancing very briefly at the songs I write
But it don't help me that you know
This ain't no way out
Won't somebody tell me?
I don't care what you say, boy
There ain't no way out
There ain't no way out
There ain't no way out
There ain't no way out
Give me the key, lock it away
There ain't
There ain't
There ain't no way out
There ain't no way out
There ain't no way out

Composer(s): Jeff Barry; Andy Kim
Performer(s): Andy Kim
Look at you baby look at me
So in love we used to be
But now it's just a memory
Baby, how'd we ever get this way
Tell me baby, how'd we ever get this way
Well I recall when things were fine
And every day the sun would shine
When I was yours and you were mine
Baby, how'd we ever get this way
Tell me baby, how'd we ever get this way
Remember how it used to was
Before the rovin eye of love
Why does it do the way it does
Baby, how'd we ever get this way
Tell me baby, how'd we ever get this way
Time and time and time again
I wonder why it all began
Tell me how's it gonna end
Baby, how'd we ever get this way
Ba-la, la, la, la, la, la
Ba-la, la, la, la, la, la

A Night Like This (Rod Stewart)
A Night Like This
Composer(s): Rod Stewart
Performer(s): Rod Stewart
Sixteen years old, looking for a hideaway
I'm a set designer, my Mum and Dad thinking I'm gay
I'm a lazy bugger, but I like my sport
Like girls and music, I'm happy, happy sort (of a guy)
But there's one thing I'm lacking
it's sexual experience
So I ask you, my sweetheart
save me from this wilderness
I've dreamed, honey, of a night like this
Where I come from, love is just a hole in the wall
And the steel mills ring out and generations heed the call
And the rain never stops and the skies are grey
And the chance of romance slim as a bright sunny day
This is partly the reason
I'm so overwhelmed and shy
Because your beauty, by contrast
is gonna make a young man cry
I've dreamed, honey, of a night like this
I've schemed, honey, of a night like this
You don't know what it means to a boy from a suburban home
To be left with a woman like you completely alone
I've dreamed, honey, of a night like this
Nice place you've got here, babe never seen a house like this
Pool like an ocean, bed like a football pitch
All the guys at the boozer, won't believe my luck
But it couldn't have happened to a nicer bloke (than me)
So here we are, the record's gotten stuck in the groove
My knees are trembling, c'mon baby, make a move
I've dreamed, honey, of a night like this
I've schemed, honey, of a night like this
I've dreamed, I've schemed, honey of a night like this
I've dreamed, honey, of a night like this

Oh, how I've loved you
Since the day I first walked you from school
Yes, I have loved you
Breaking all of loves precious rules
You know I still love you
Even though I feel like a fool
Oh, how I've loved you
Since the day you first told me your name
Yes, I have loved you
Thinking you all the while felt the same
And I, I still love you
Even though I know you've changed

A Night In The Life Of A Blues Singer
Composer(s): Phil Lynott
Performer(s): Thin Lizzy
In the old days
I could sing the blues
I had nothin' to live for
And nothin' to lose
And all the time
I was paying my dues
Like an old blues singer
And I had no troubles then
But I had lots of friends
Friends they come and go
And sometimes friendship ends
All the time, I've had a friend on whom I depend
So blues singer
Oh...
Oh mama, mama, mama, this is your boy
Oh mama, mama, mama, mama, my soul's been destroyed
Oh mama, mama, your pride and joy
Is a blues singer
An old blues singer
And the party's over now
Everybody's goin' home
The band is packin' up
And I'm on my own
Oh, but I miss you now you're gone
Mama, your boy's a blues singer
Such an old blues singer
Nothin, oh but nothin's changed
Oh sometimes you win sometimes you lose
I lost ya mama
I lost ya mama
In the old days
I could sing the blues
Had nothin' to live for
And nothin' to lose
But all the time
You must chose
I'm an old blues singer
Oh...

How Ya Gonna Keep 'Em Down On The Farm?
Composer(s): Sam M. Lewis; Joe Young; Walter Donaldson
Performer(s): Eddie Cantor;
and various other artists
Reuben, Reuben, I've been thinking
Said his wifey dear
Now that all is peaceful and calm
The boys will soon be back on the farm
Mister Reuben started winking and slowly rubbed his chin
He pulled his chair up close to mother
And he asked her with a grin
How ya gonna keep 'em down on the farm
After they've seen Paree'
How ya gonna keep 'em away from Broadway
Jazzin around and paintin' the town
How ya gonna keep 'em away from harm, that's a mystery
They'll never want to see a rake or plow
And who the deuce can parleyvous a cow?
How ya gonna keep 'em down on the farm
After they've seen Paree'
Reuben, Reuben, you're mistaken
Said his wifey dear
Once a farmer, always a jay
And farmers always stick to the hay
Mother Reuben, I'm not fakin
Tho you may think it strange
But wine and women play the mischief
With a boy who's loose with change
How ya gonna keep 'em down on the farm
After they've seen Paree'
How ya gonna keep 'em away from Broadway
Jazzin around and paintin' the town
How ya gonna keep 'em away from harm, that's a mystery
Imagine Reuben when he meets his Pa
He'll kiss his cheek and holler "Oo-La-La!
How ya gonna keep 'em down on the farm
After they've seen Paree'?

How Wonderful You Are
How Wonderful You Are
Performer(s): Gordon Haskell
I go out most nights
Attracted by the lights
Listen to the jazz in Harry's Bar
And I know it won't be long
Before they play that song
Do you know how wonderful you are
It's a sentimental sound
Make me wanna fool around
With somebody who is wishing on a star
I'll pull my hat down low
Go up and say hello
Do you know how wonderful you are
Oh we struggle with the art of conversation
And there'll be those for whom this song has no appeal
But I know it works for me
And I'm sure you will agree
That it illustrates exactly how I feel
Things can happen fast
Some things are built to last
I've seen it all go down in Harry's Bar
Though we've only just begun
This sure will run and run
Do you know how wonderful you are
I've always struggled with the art of conversation
And there'll be those for whom this song has no appeal
But I know it works for me
And I'm sure you will agree
That it illustrates exactly how I feel
Things can happen fast
Some things are built to last
I've seen it all go down in Harry's Bar
Though we've only just begun
This sure will run and run
Do you know how wonderful you are
Do you know how wonderful you are
Do you know how wonderful you are
