We're In This Love Together


We're In This Love Together
Composer(s): Roger Murrah; Keith Stegall
Performer(s): Al Jarreau;
and various other artists



It's like a diamond ring
It's a precious thing
And we never want to lose it
.. It's like a favorite song
That we love to sing
Every time we hear the music

chorus:
We're in this love together
We got the kind that lasts forever
We're in this love together
And like berries on the vine
It gets sweeter all the time

Its like a rainy night in candlelight
And,ooh it's so romantic
We got the whole thing working
out so right
And it's just the way we planned it

chorus:
We're in this love together
We got the kind that lasts forever
We're in this love together
And like berries on the vine
It gets sweeter all the time

chorus:
We're in this love together
We got the kind that lasts forever
We're in this love together
And like berries on the vine
It gets sweeter all the time

Adam And Eve


Adam And Eve
Performer(s): Paul Anka



In the garden of Eden, a long time ago
yeah, there was a story I'm sure you will know
I'm sure you remember, I know you believe
the story of Adam and Eve

In the garden of Eden where live began
yes the very beginning of woman and man
I'm sure you remember and I know you believe
the story of Adam and Eve

They were in the garden while they both fell in love
sheltered by the guiding hand of the one above
Life was filled with happiness until one day around
a very great temptation, you know how it goes

In the garden of Eden, a long time ago
there was a story I'm sure you will know
I'm sure you remember, I'm sure you believe
the story of Adam and Eve

In the garden of Eden, a long time ago, such a story ...

A hole in the floor where it drops right out again

Pulling down window shades is no use at all
The kids and the neighbor can peep right through the wall
Well there's a leak in this old building
Well there's a leak in this old building
Well there's a leak in this old building
We're gonna move to a better, move to a better
Move to a better home

Adam


Adam
Composer(s): Richie Havens
Performer(s): Richie Havens



In the dawning waking hour
He'll lift his head and brush his eyes
With gentle strokes
That will only blindly mislead him
Into the first day of creation
Which he only sees in limitation

Now he sits upon his empty bed
His heart is warm, his heart is full
And he can see
But it is impossible for him to retain me
For his arms are without form
He cannot know the word
As his mind cries out absurd

Now he's standing inside the doorway
He is afraid but he believes all that he sees
On the floor
Where everything is merging
And pictures he sees are tragic
As he begins to believe in magic

Now he lies down in a hole
Down in the ground, where it is cold
And now he knows
Now he realizes his biggest mistake
That he never had to grow old
That he never had to grow cold and die

We're Gonna Make It


We're Gonna Make It
Composer(s): Billy Davis; Clifton Smith;
Raynard Miner; Gene Barge
Performer(s): Little Milton;
and various other artists



We may not have a cent to pay the rent
But we're gonna make it, I know we will
We may have to eat beans every day
But we're gonna make it, I know we will
And if a job is hard to find
And we have to stand in the welfare line
I've got your love and you know you got mine
So we're gonna make it, I know we will

We may not have a home to call our own
But we're gonna make it, I know we will
We may have to fight hardships alone
But we're gonna make it, I know we will
'Cause togetherness brings peace of mind
We can't stay down all the time
I've got your love and you know you got mine
So we're gonna make it, I know we will

Our car may be old, our two rooms cold
But we're gonna make it, I know we will
We may not can spare a roach a crumb
But we're gonna make it, I know we will
And if I have to carry 'round a sign
Sayin' "Help the deaf, the dumb, and the blind"
I got your love and you know you got mine
So we're gonna make it, I know we will

We're gonna make it
(We're gonna make it, we're gonna make it)
We're gonna make it, baby
(We're gonna make it, we're gonna make it)
It might seem hard sometime
(We're gonna make it, we're gonna make it)
But don't worry, darlin' baby
(We're gonna make it, we're gonna make it)
We're gonna keep on tryin'
(We're gonna make it, we're gonna make it)

Adalida


Adalida
Composer(s): Mike Geiger - Michael Huffman - Woody Mullis
Performer(s): George Strait
and multiple other artists



Adalida, pretty little Cajun queen
Sweet Dixie flower, the bell of the bayou
You’re every young man's dream
Adalida, I’d walk through the hurricane
To stand beside ya sweet Adalida I’d swim the Ponchartrain

Oh no, here ya coming down the road
With your cotton dress a swishing
You’re getting some attention
From all the boys in Thibodaux
Oh my, you’re really filling up their eyes
Smiling and a winking
I know what they’re thinking
But I’m the only one who loves you so

Adalida, pretty little Cajun queen
Sweet Dixie flower, the bell of the bayou
You’re every young man's dream
Adalida, I’d walk through the hurricane
To stand beside ya sweet Adalida I’d swim the Ponchartrain

Oh no, the hottest little dish I know
I know that you can tell it
You’re making me so jealous
From my head down to my toes
Oh me, you could make a red neck green
The way that you’re a looking
You got me a cooking
And I ain’t talking bout Etoufee’

Adalida, pretty little Cajun queen
Sweet Dixie flower, the bell of the bayou
You’re every young man's dream
Adalida, I’d walk through the hurricane
To stand beside ya sweet Adalida I’d swim the Ponchartrain

Adalida, pretty little Cajun queen
Sweet Dixie flower, the bell of the bayou
You’re every young man's dream
Adalida, I’d walk through the hurricane
To stand beside ya sweet Adalida I’d swim the Ponchartrain

To stand beside ya sweet Adalida
To stand beside ya sweet Adalida
Just to stand beside of my sweet Adalida
I’d swim the Ponchartrain

Adagio (Mina)


Adagio
Composer(s): M. Nobile - V. Buffoli - P. Limiti
Performer(s): Mina



Adagio parla piano stasera
o gli altri capiranno di noi...
balliamo, ma non stringermi ancora
nel buio vedo gli occhi di lei...

Adagio, no, non farle capire
che il cuore scoppia dentro di noi...
non deve cominciare a soffrire
se t'amo non è colpa di lei

Amore non guardarmi così
non puoi guardarmi oppure non ce la farò...
Sul collo il tuo respiro ormai mi fa impazzire
ti prego non lo fare, no, o morirò! Morirò

Lontano sento battere l'ora...
il mondo è la fuori e lo sai
adagio piango adagio
stasera nel mondo tu ritorni con lei

Amore non guardarmi così
non puoi guardarmi oppure non ce la farò...
Sul collo il tuo respiro ormai mi fa impazzire
ti prego non lo fare, no, o morirò! Morirò, morirò

We're Gonna Hang Out The Washing On The Siegfried Line


We’re Gonna Hang Out The Washing
On The Siegfried Line
Composer(s): Michael Carr; Jimmy Kennedy
Performer(s): Flanagan & Allen; Chas & Dave



We're gonna hang out the washing on the Siegfried line
Have you any dirty washing, mother dear?
We're gonna hang out the washing on the Siegfried line
‘Cause the washing day is here

Whether the weather may be wet or fine
We'll just ride along without a care
We're gonna hang out the washing on the Siegfried line
If that Siegfried line's still there

Mother dear, I'm writing you from somewhere in France
Hoping this finds you well
Sergeant says I'm doing fine - a soldier and a half
Here's a song that we all sing
This'll make you laugh...

We're gonna hang out the washing on the Siegfried line
Have you any dirty washing, mother dear?
We're gonna hang out the washing on the Siegfried line
‘Cause the washing day is here

Whether the weather may be wet or fine
We'll just ride along without a care
We're gonna hang out the washing on the Siegfried line
If that Siegfried line's still there

Acute Schizophrenia Paranoia Blues


Acute Schizophrenia Paranoia Blues
Composer(s): Ray Davies
Performer(s): The Kinks



I'm too terrified to walk out of my own front door
They're demonstrating outside I think they're gonna start the third world war
I've been to my local head shrinker
To help classify my disease
He said it's one of the cases of acute schizophrenia he sees

Well the milkman's a spy, and the grocer keeps on following me
And the woman next door's an undercover for the K.G.B.
And the man from the Social Security
Keeps on invading my privacy
Oh there ain't no cure for acute schizophrenia disease

I've got acute schizophrenia paranoia too
Schizophrenia, schizophrenia
I've got it, you've got it, we can't lose
Acute schizophrenia blues

I'm lost on the river, the river of no return
I can't make decisions, I don't know which way I'm gonna turn
Even my old dad, lost some of the best friends he ever had
Apparently, his was a case of acute schizophrenia too

I got acute schizophrenia paranoia too
Schizophrenia, schizophrenia
I've got it, you've got it, we can't lose
Acute schizophrenia blues

They're watching my house and they're tapping my telephone
I can't trust nobody, but I'm much too scared to be on my own
And the income tax collector's got his beady eye on me
Oh there ain't no cure for acute schizophrenia disease

No there ain't no cure for Schizophrenia disease

Spade Cooley; Ole Rasmussen



Bring along your fishin' pole and leave your dirty dishes
Meet me by the fishin' pole and where you led your britches

Gonna get your catfish and we'll cook 'em up for dinner
Rollin' up and fryin' up and bakin' alright
We're gonna go fishin' next Saturday night
Lipstick makeup leave behind...

Never mind your parlor cup we're not goin' dancin'
Cause your daddy's had enough a dancin' or romancin'
Bring along your brother that'll be alright
We're really goin' fishin' next Saturday night
Lipstick makeup leave behind...

Lipstick makeup leave behind...

Acuarela Del Río


Acuarela Del Río
Composer(s): Abel Montes)
Performer(s): Raphael; Vlamers



Un canilla poi
Una balsa una guaina
Una flor en el río
Un paisaje de cielo
Reflejan las aguas del gran Paraná
Mas allá, un camalote
Va flotando hacia la orilla
Que arbolada de sauces
Nos invita a soñar
Acuarela del río
Que pintas de luces
Mi dulce romance
En el mundo no hay marco
Más divino y bello
Para nuestro amor
Con su sol
Con sus cálidos matices
Con su brisa perfumada
En mágico arrebol
De un lento atardecer
A la deriva el bote va
Con mi amada por el río
Meciéndonos con su vaivén
Que acompasa nuestro amor
Y apoyada en mi hombro
Me murmura al oído
Mientras beso sus manos
Completan mi dicha
Aromas de azahar

We're Gonna Change The World


We’re Gonna Change The World
Composer(s): Ted Harris; Dave Matthews
Performer(s): Matt Monro



Shirley Wood gulped down her breakfast
Shut the fridge and joined the throng
Margaret Beatty snatched the milk in
Scanned the news and went along
Annie Harris drew the curtains
Screwed her eyes up, had a peek
Saw the marchers, heard their voices
Making early morning noises
Stumbled back to bed and tried to sleep

Come with us, run with us
We’re gonna change the world
You’ll be amazed, so full of praise
When we’ve rearranged your world
We’re gonna change your world

Shuffling through the cold black morning
Went the marchers, spirits low
Grunting greetings, grimly pressing
Onto where they had to go
When the sun came up, they brightened
Stopped to have their Thermos brew
Annie Harris got up gladly
Pondered for a little, sadly
Then got on with what she had to do

So, come with us, run with us
We’re gonna change the world
You’ll be amazed, so full of praise
When we’ve rearranged your world
We’re gonna change your world

At their target, numbers swollen
‘Up the marches’, banners go
Chanting, shouting out with leaflets
Protest for everyone to know
Sit in front of all the traffic
Harried, busy shopping wives
Try to stir their ostritch notions
Whip them up to wild emotions
Put some fire into their wretched lives

So, come with us, run with us
We’re gonna change your world
You’ll be amazed, so full of praise
When we’ve rearranged your world
We’re gonna change your world

Shirley Wood was dragged still sitting
By a policeman from the road
Margaret Beatty had her face slapped
By a man she tried to goad
Annie Harris in the office
Paused in typing, thought of Don
Glanced again at his last letter
Died for others to live better
Brushed away a tear and carried on

Come with us, run with us
We’re gonna change the world
You’ll be amazed, so full of praise
When we’ve rearranged your world
We’re gonna change..
Come with us, run with us
We’re gonna change your world
You’ll be amazed, so full of praise
When we’ve rearranged your world
We’re gonna change..
So, come with us, run with us
We’re gonna change your world
You’ll be amazed, so full of praise
When we’ve rearranged your world

Actuar Para Vivir


Actuar Para Vivir
Composer(s): Fito Páez
Performer(s): Juan Carlos Baglietto



Y te aplaudirán, te aplastarán
aqui la frustración, la piel, las ganas
aqui seras payaso y domadór
aqui seras el juez y el perdedór
aqui se invertiran los roles
para usted
Usted que esta alli
nosotros arriba
la calle, el escenario
digamos mejor
que es necesario
actuar para vivir
Y en un fatal primer acto nacemos
cambiando siempre el vestuario y el juego
siempre tras la emoción
que es el sueldo esencial
siempre tras la noche
y las mesas de café
jaqueamos la inteligencia como peón al rey
jaqueamos la inteligencia. la hacemos canción

Toda esa magia escondida
la de los altos telones
no es nada mas que un anhelo de dos
la gente, el actor
las ganas de verse ahi
Se escuchó el ultimo aplauso
se fueron todas las luces
quedaron solo fantasmas de ayer
sin nombre, sin tez
mañana quizas este el mio

We're Going All The Way


We're Going All The Way
Composer(s): Barry Mann; Cynthia Weil
Performer(s): Jeffrey Osborne



We're just beginning
And I know we've each been down this road a time or two
And never could make it through
But I've got this feelin'
That we've stumbled in to what we've both been waiting for
And maybe even more
It doesn't matter where we've been `cause this time I know for sure

We're goin' all the way (All the way)
Headed far forever and that's where we're gonna stay
The more you're near me, the more I know it
We got it all here if we just don't blow it

We're goin' all the way (All the way)
If the two of us both want it I'd lay my money on it
Startin' today (Starting today)
We're goin' all the way

I know for certain
That there's more than magic in these feelings that we found
We're standin' on solid ground
But now we're both ready
Ready for the real thing `cause our dues have all been paid
We've finally got it made
Believe me when I tell you there's no need to be afraid

We're goin' all the way (All the way)
We're headed far forever and that's where we're gonna stay
The more you're near me, the more I know it
We got it all here if we just don't blow it

We're goin' all the way (All the way)
If the two of us both want it I'd lay my money on it
Startin' today (Starting today)
We're goin' all the way

We're gonna weather all the showers
And hold together through whatever comes
I know we got the staying power
We're gonna make tomorrow ours
If we just stick with it
And give it all we've got to give it

We're goin' all the way (All the way)
If the two of us both want it I'd lay my money on it
Startin' today (Starting today)
We're goin' all the way, mmm....hmm...

Oh...oh...baby, we're goin' all the way (All the way)
If the two of us both want it I'd lay my money on it
Startin' today (Starting today)
We're goin' all the way, mmm...mmm...hmm...hmm...ooh...hoo...

Le soleil luit
Sur les villes et sur les champs
Tout là-bas un paysan
Suit sa charrue en chantant
Deux messieurs bien
Parlant de chasse et de chiens
Dans un bar américain
Boiv'nt le whisky du matin
Un enfant bleu
Dans son berceau de bois blanc
Fermant ses yeux innocents
Meurt tout dou tout doucement
La Seine plie
Sous le ventre des chalands
Sur la berge deux enfants
S'enlacent en souriant
Cent mineurs crient
Sous le poids d'un continent
Là-haut pass' un régiment
Il y aura dix survivants
Le soleil luit
Sur les villes et sur les champs

Action Speaks Louder Than Words


Action Speaks Louder Than Words
Composer(s): Amadee Castenell Jr. - Ernest Dabon - Robert Dabon - Joseph Smith III
Performer(s): Chocolate Milk; Southside Johnny & The Asbury Jukes; Junior Reid



You exploded into my life
A shot heard around my world
You changed everything

It took some time to find the ground
I think my reason
Has caught up with me

Love is strong, but life is long
Decision is upon us
You can kick my tires girl
I'll deliver what I promise

Action speaks louder than words
Action speaks louder than words
Action speaks louder than words
It's sink or swim
We won't find out
Till we jump in

Will our love keep us afloat
Here come the rapids, girl, to test our will
And if the weather tips our boat
We might loose everything, can we pay that bill?

Action speaks louder than words
Action speaks louder than words
Action speaks louder than words
Can't wait, just do it
Let's get down to it

Action speaks louder than words
Action speaks louder than words
Action speaks louder than words
It's sink or swim
We won't find out
Till we jump in

You exploded into my life
A shot heard around my world
You changed everything

Action, action, action
It's sink or swim
We won't find out
Till we jump in
Action, action, action
Can't wait, just do it
Let's get down to it
Action, action, action
It's either sink or swim
We won't find out
Till we jump in
Action speaks louder than words
Let's get down to it
Can't wait to do it

Action Speaks Faster


Action Speaks Faster
Composer(s): Chris Difford - Glenn Tilbrook
Performer(s): Difford & Tilbrook



Action speaks faster
Faster than words
Pull her towards you
Let love be heard
And when we kissed there was a room that had been emptied
You said so much without a word I’d been tempted
Love’s not for sale there’s not a price
Who could have rented
Who lives here now come out and be found where I have nested

My eyelashes swam up through the tears
The moments that passed took two or three years

And when we talked there was rain and no attraction
Hand to my head, eyes to the ground, no reaction
Our love was home, now it’s a fort that’s held up to ransom
What of us now, now there’s no laughs, where is the action
