What Goes On Here In My Heart?


What Goes On Here In My Heart?
Composer(s): Ralph Rainger; Leo Robin
Performer(s): Betty Grable;
and various other artists



What goes on here in my heart?
All this bumpin' and thumpin' and jumpin'
When I see you

What goes on here when we part?
It keeps bumpin' and thumpin' and jumpin'
The whole night through

It will stop awhile, so quiet and then
If you happen to smile
There's a riot again

What goes on here in my heart, Dear
Could this bumpin' and thumpin' and jumpin'
Be love

Afraid Of Tomorrow


Afraid Of Tomorrow
Composer(s): Gary Moore
Performer(s): Gary Moore



All of our destinies written within us
No more of falling for the world's biggest lie
Are you so jealous of the wind and her freedom?
Nothing can stop you now
Live in your dreams

Are we afraid of tomorrow?
Are we afraid of tomorrow?

Crossing the wilderness, finding the treasure
Buried within yourself all you desire
Soul of the world can see all you are feeling
Heeding the wise man's words, all things are one

Are we afraid of tomorrow?
Are we afraid of tomorrow?

Mmah, ah

All of our destinies written within us
No more of falling for the world's biggest lie
Are you still jealous of the wind and her freedom?
Nothing can stop you now, so live in your dreams

Are we afraid of tomorrow?
Are we afraid of tomorrow?

Afraid of tomorrow
Afraid of tomorrow

Oh, afraid
Oh, oh afraid
Oh, afraid

What Goes On


What Goes On
Composer(s): Lou Reed
Performer(s): The Velvet Underground



What goes on in your mind?
I think that I am falling down
What goes on in your mind?
I think that I am upside down
Lady, be good, and do what you should
you know it'll work allright
Lady, be good, do what you should
you know it'll be alright

I'm goin' up, and I'm goin' down
I'm gonna fly from side to side
See the bells, up in the sky
Somebody's cut the string in two
Lady, be good, and do what you should
you know it'll work alright
Lady, be good, do what you should
you know it'll be alright

One minute one, one minute two
One minute up and one minute down
What goes on here in your mind?
I think that I am falling down
Lady, be good, and do what you should
you know it'll work alright
Lady, be good, do what you should
you know it'll be alright

What God Wants


What God Wants
Composer(s): Roger Waters
Performer(s): Roger Waters



What God wants God gets
God help us all
What God wants God gets
The kid in the corner looked at the priest
And fingered his pale blue Japanese guitar
The priest said
God wants goodness
God wants light
God wants mayhem
God wants a clean fight
What God wants God gets
Don't look so surprised
It's only dogma
The alien prophet cried
The beetle and the springbok
Took the Bible from its hook
The monkey in the corner
Wrote the lesson in his book
What God wants God gets God help us all
God wants peace
God wants war
God wants famine
God wants chain stores
What God wants God gets
God wants sedition
God wants sex
God wants freedom
God wants semtex
What God wants God gets
Don't look so surprised
I'm only joking
The alien comic cried
The jackass and hyena
Took the feather from its hook
The monkey in the corner
Wrote the joke down in his book
What God wants God gets
God wants boarders
God wants crack
God wants rainfall
God wants wetbacks
What God wants God gets
God wants voodoo
God wants shrines
God wants law
God wants organised crime
God wants crusade
God wants jihad
God wants good
God wants bad
What God wants God gets

Afraid


Afraid
Composer(s): Nico
Performer(s): Nico



Cease to know or to tell
Or to see or to be your own
Cease to know or to tell
Or to see or to be your own
Have someone else's will as your own
Have someone else's will as your own

You are beautiful and you are alone
You are beautiful and you are alone

Often the adolescent plague
Reward your grace
Often the adolescent plague
Reward your grace

Confuse your hunger capture the fake
Confuse your hunger capture the fake

Banish the faceless reward your grace
Banish the faceless reward your grace

What Does The Pussycat Mean When She Says "Meow"?


What Does The Pussycat Mean When She Says "Meow"?
Composer(s): Pease; Granlund; Nelson
Performer(s): Margaret Young



I went to school, and then I went to college
Learned every rule, that's how I got my knowledge
But now I'm puzzled, and always up a tree
Won't someone please tell me

What does the pussy cat mean when she says, "Meow"?
What does the little dog mean when he says, "Bow-wow"?
I know that hay means horses
And that marriage means divorces
But what does the pussy cat mean when she says "Meow"?

I know that church means Sunday, and that Friday means a fish
I know that wash means Monday, and a platter means a dish
I know a boy means mister, and a girlie means a miss
When her lip touches his lips, I know it means a kiss
A baby means a rattle; a barrel means a keg
And when a chicken cackles, it means she's laid an egg
I know that green means Irish, and that Irish means a cop
Limburger means a Zeppelin, and spaghetti means a wop

What does the pussy cat mean when she says "Meow"?
What does the little dog mean when he says "Bow-wow"?
I know that Heinz means pickles
And I know a feather tickles
But what does the pussy cat mean when she says, "Meow"?

Afghanistan


Afghanistan
Composer(s): William Wilander - Harry Donnelly



In the land of Afghanistan
There's a Hindu maid and a man
She swore by the stars up above her
That he was the one to love her
But there came another one day
Stole his Hindu maiden away
Hindu man is lonely and blue
In his dreams he's calling to her

All the wealth of Afghanistan
Cannot ease the heart of this man
Tho' the stars with splendor are shining
Hindu's heart can't stop it's pining
Though he's trying hard to forget
He has hopes and dreams of her yet
Thinking that she'll come back some say
To his idol he keeps praying

In Afghanistan
There's a Caravan
By the fair oasis waiting for you and for you only
Cross the desert sand we will find a temple
There will be a bridal day for you my idol
In Afghanistan

Afghan Woman


Afghan Woman
Composer(s): Marc Bolan
Performer(s): Tyrannosaurus Rex



Afghan Woman, deemed a princess
Born a true blue thoroughbred
Head a chiselled face of fables
Omen of no ill

Hills that spread around your chamber
Blooms that twine around your ears
Blossoms of the royalest texture
Angel of the years

Clad in sacks and scraps of linen
Living 'neath your waterwell
Praying that my youthly pauper's face
Will quench you well

Gazelle girl striding through your palace
Precious jewels nestle in your hair
Rameses born with platinum future
Take my heart and care

What Does It Take


What Does It Take
Composer(s): James Van Heusen; Johnny Burke
Performer(s): Nat King Cole



It takes an earthquake to move a mountain It takes the typhoon to churn up the sea But what does it take to make you take to me? It takes a heatwave to melt an iceberg It takes a blossom to bother a bee But what does it take to make you take to me? You could have your way You could have the moon Anything you say, only say it soon When you're around it takes the feather to knock me over It takes the nitwit to tell you I'm free Cuz, baby I'm just your humble servant making his fervent plea What does it take to make you take to me? You could have your way You could have the moon Anything you say, only say it soon When you're around it takes the feather to knock me over It takes the nitwit to tell you I'm free Cuz, baby I'm just your humble servant making his fervent plea What does it take to make you take to me?

Affida Una Lacrima Al Vento


Affida Una Lacrima Al Vento
((French & German Versions:
Une Larme Aux Nuages (by Salvatore Adamo); Es Geht Eine Träne Auf Reisen (by Salvatore Adamo))
Composer(s): Salvatore Adamo
Performer(s): Salvatore Adamo



Affida una lacrima al vento
e fa che la porti da me
il vento mi ha detto stai attento
la tua bella non pensa più a te

Affida una lacrima al vento
e nel cielo per me brillerà
e com'una pioggia d'argento
il tuo amore mi riporterà

Il vento non mi vuol più parlar di te
piange però non mi vuol dir perché
ma indovino tristi cose
scritte con le spine delle rose

Affida una lacrima al vento
vedrai che di gioia ballerà
da te volerà in un momento
dei miei baci ti coprirà

Affida una lacrima al vento
e nel deserto un fiore spunterà
sarà un miraggio lo sento
ma sarà bello e ci credo già

Affida una lacrima al vento
e fa che la porti da me
il vento mi ha detto stai attento
la tua bella non pensa più a te
la tua bella non pensa più a te
la tua bella non pensa più a te

Affair On 8th Avenue


Affair On 8th Avenue
Composer(s): Gordon Lightfoot
Performer(s): Gordon Lightfoot; The Brothers Four



The perfume that she wore was from some little store
On the down side of town
But it lingered on long after she’d gone
I remember it well
And our fingers entwined like ribbons of light
And we came through a doorway somewhere in the night
Her long flowing hair came softly undone
And it lay all around
And she brushed it down as I stood by her side
In the warmth of her love

And she showed me her treasures of paper and tin
And then we played a game only she could win
And she told me a riddle I’ll never forget
Then left with the answer I’ve never found yet

How long, said she, can a moment like this
Belong to someone
What’s wrong, what is right, when to live or to die
We must almost be born
So if you should ask me what secrets I hide
I’m only your lover, don’t make me decide

The perfume that she wore was from some little store
On the down side of town
But it lingered on long after she’d gone
I remember it well

And she showed me her treasures of paper and tin
And then we played a game only she could win
And our fingers entwined like ribbons of light
And we came through a doorway somewhere in the night

What Does A Woman See In A Man?


What Does A Woman See In A Man?
Composer(s): Jimmy Webb
Performer(s): Jimmy Webb



He stinks to high heaven, half covered with hair
And grunts just like some old orang-utan
While she smells of clean skin and a trace of jasmine
And speaks like a first rate librarian

His stomach hangs out, there's a hump on his back
He eats like Conan the Barbarian
While she keeps herself trim, and her posture is prim
Her manners are quite cosmopolitan

He laughs like a donkey and farts in the bed
And flips cigarettes in the can
But she always acts nice, with no visible vice
Tell me, what does a woman see in a man?

He hangs out in bars and he tells stupid jokes
And seems to think he's a comedian
But she's clever, polite, stays sober all night
And sips on her one Presbyterian

He drives a gas hog like Attila the Hun
And woe to the luckless pedestrian
While she prefers bikes and bird-watching hikes
And sailing and riding equestrian

He has a name like Duane or Leroy
Hers is Vanessa or Anne
Hers sounds like a song
But Duane is all wrong
Tell me, what does a woman see in a man?

Doesn't she know that she's unique
Doesn't she know that he's just a freak -- of nature
Overbearing, insecure, wanting love but so unsure
Loving her because she's pure

And yet, dreaming of orgies in Vegas or Cannes
He preens and strikes poses Olympian
While she shoulders the cross
And lets him play boss
His nurse and long-suffering Samaritan

He brags about knocking the world on its ass
But oh, when the shit hits the fan
She'll bail him out, she's the one with the clout
Only she knows how humankind ever began

What does a woman see in a man?
What does a woman see in a man?

Affair Of The Heart


Affair Of The Heart
Composer(s): Rick Springfield - Blaise Tosti - Danny Tate
Performer(s): Rick Springfield



Heart in my mouth pluse in my head
Mercury rising into the red
The smell of your skin can light up all the fire in me

I'm hungry to touch I'm eager to please
Out of control and I hand you the keys
Every night I am burning to make love to you

But don't try to tell me you think it's all physical
It goes much deeper than that

You ought to know it's an affair of the heart
It's an affair of the heart
It's an affair of the heart
Have a little blind faith believe
It's an affair of the heart

When we make love it's a passionate thing
You shudder and shake sink your teeth in my skin
I almost believe you were made to be played by my hands

And you got the power it amazes me still
How you play my emotions with consummate skill
I don't have to look any further than into your eyes

So don't try to tell me you think it's just physical
It goes way deeper than that

You better know it's an affair of the heart
It's an affair of the heart
It's an affair of the heart
Have a little blind faith believe
It's an affair of the heart

Don't try to tell me you think it's all physical
It goes much deeper than that

You ought to know it's an affair of the heart
It's an affair of the heart
It's an affair of the heart
It's an affair of the heart
You better know it's an affair of the heart
It's an affair of the heart
You better know it's an affair of the heart
It's an affair of the heart
Baby an affair of the heart
It's an affair of the heart

What Do You Want With Me?


What Do You Want With Me?
Composer(s): Chad Stuart; Jeremy Clyde
Performer(s): Chad & Jeremy



What do you want with me
Oh baby can't you see
My love and I were happy
Before you came along
And it'll stay that way
'cause I won't let her down
I love her, can't you see
What do you want with me

What do you want with me
Oh baby I can't see
You only wanna break us up
And use me for a time
Then you'll leave me cryin'
I've heard it all before
Your other boys have told me
What do you want with me

A love like ours
Is somethin' else again
She's lovin', she's true
Let me tell you she's not a bit like you
And I'm askin' you a question

What do you want with me
Why don't you let me be
I know it would be easy
To fool around with you
But you should know by now
I've promised to be true
I love her, can't you see
What do you want with me

A love like ours
Is somethin' else again
She's lovin', she's true
Let me tell you she's not a bit like you
And I'm askin' you a question

What do you want with me
Why don't you let me be
I know it would be easy
To fool around with you
But you should know by now
I've promised to be true
I love her, can't you see
What do you want with me
I love her, can't you see
What do you want with me

Aéroplanes


Aéroplanes
Composer(s): Serge Gainsbourg
Performer(s): Serge Gainsbourg; Readymade



Marilou se fait des aéroplanes
En repliant des dépliants d'agences de voyages genre Cook
Où l'on peut voir des pin-up à gros seins new-look
Sur fond d'azur de Louisiane
Elle est marrante c'est une fan
Du cap'tain Cook
Elle a sur lui tout un press-book
Aussi sur Tarzan dont elle est folle comme Jane
Je la vois assez l'enlacer et lui de liane en liane
Pousser son cri en volapük
Du coté de Pamanbuk
Et moi Chita le singe qui leur cavale au cul dans la savane

Pauvre idiote tu rêves tu planes
Me traite de fauché de plouc
De minable d'abominable bouc
Qu'importe injures un jour se dissiperont comme volute Gitane

Aerolitos


Aerolitos
Performer(s): Pablo Guerrero



Algo te dice ven a éste tiempo nuevo
siempre surge una antigua forma de mirar
Un ritmo que te empuje hasta vibrar unido
a éste hermoso planeta que como tú respira

Con maestros y sin líderes
aerolitos
como aerolitos libres
Por el espacio sin límites
aerolitos
como aerolitos libres

Canto a la gente que se siente cerca
Conozco triunfadores que se saben perdidos
Aprendo del humilde que sin quererlo habla
con la sabiduría antigua de las cosas

Con maestros y sin líderes
aerolitos
como aerolitos libres
Por el espacio sin límites
aerolitos
como aerolitos libres

Algo te dice ven a este tiempo nuevo
Son falsas todas las encrucijadas
El mundo cada día llama recién nacido
y te busca a través de la luz y el sentimiento

Con maestros y sin líderes
aerolitos
como aerolitos libres
Por el espacio sin límites
aerolitos
como aerolitos libres
