Woman In Chains


Woman In Chains
Composer(s): Roland Orzabal
Original Performers: Tears for Fears
Covered by various other artists



You better love loving and you better behave
You better love loving and you better behave
Woman in Chains
Woman in Chains

Calls her man the Great White Hope
Says she's fine, she'll always cope
Woman in Chains
Woman in Chains

Well I feel lying and waiting is a poor man's deal
And I feel hopelessly weighed down by your eyes of steel
It's a world gone crazy
Keeps Woman in Chains

Trades her soul as skin and bone
Sells the only thing she owns
Woman in Chains
Woman in Chains

Men of Stone Men of Stone

Well I feel deep in your heart there are wounds Time can't heal
And I feel somebody somewhere is trying to breathe
Well you know what I mean
It's a world gone crazy
Keeps Woman in Chains

It's under my skin but out of my hands
I'll tear it a part but I won't understand
I will not accept the Greatness of Man

It's a world gone crazy
Keeps Woman in Chains

Always Unknowing


Always Unknowing
Composer(s): Bryan Ferry
Performer(s): Roxy Music



Following the morning star
But there´s no sense
In always running
Take what you want to know
Just give me time
Always unknowing
World passing by
That´s how it looks
Always unknowing
Don´t you leave my side
There is no sense
In always running
Just one more time
Is all I need
Always unknowing
Hold back tonight
With your sight
Always unknowing

Woman In Black


Woman In Black
Composer(s): Mick Jones
Performer(s): Foreigner



I knew the moment
I walked through that door
I felt so close to a burning sensation
It got so warm
As I moved across the floor
My body aching with anticipation

I saw a dark silhouette, at the table
I tried to talk, but I was unable
She drew me in right under her spell
I was hypnotized by the sudden temptation

Of that woman in black, she's a mystery
She's everything a woman should be
Woman in black, she's got a hold on me
She's in control, she won't set me free

She is a woman
She's not a girl anymore
The kind that stirs up a young man's imagination
She's dressed to kill
And I'm so ready to fall
Into her world full of strange fascination

I see that dark silhouette, at the table
I can't resist, my body's not able
She draws me in, but she teaches me well
I never need any explanation

From that woman in black, she's a mystery
She's everything a woman should be
I said, woman in black, got a hold on me
She's in control, she won't set me free

Ooh, woman in black
It's too late now
I can't turn back
'Cause I'm a fool for that woman
Woman in black
Ooh, ooh, woman in black

Ooh, that woman in black, she's a mystery
She's everything a woman should be
That woman in black, she's got a hold on me
She's in control, she won't set me free

She's my mysterious mistress
But she leaves me so helpless
My woman in black
She's a dark senorita
My woman in black
No Sunday school teacher
My woman in black
We're keeping it a secret
We meet in the night
We're partners in silence
Strangers in daylight

Always Have, Always Will (Paul Carrack)


Always Have, Always Will
Performer(s): Paul Carrack



If you're wondering if your love
Will stand the test of time
I'm here to tell you I can put your mind at ease
Ain't nothing in the whole wide world that could ever make me leave

How could I ever walk away
Darlin' I need your love each and every day

Always have, always will
If you should ask me do I love you still
Without shame without blame
I always have and always will
I always have and always will

I remember, there were times
When my heart could not conceive
Something so beautiful bould happen in this life
A precious gift to me worth and sacrifice
There is no doubt or mystery
It's obvious that you mean everything to me

Always have, always will

It was almost like your heart called out my name
I was helpless from the start
I knew right there and then I'd never be the same
Never never
I'd never be the same

Woman Down In Memphis


Woman Down In Memphis
Composer(s): Carson J. Robison; Frank Luther
Performer(s): The Red Clay Ramblers



Woman down in Memphis
Bought myself a forty-four
Listen to my warning
Stay away from my front door
Gone and thought the whole thing over
Now I know you had me blind
Oh! Woman down in Memphis
Goin' to get you off my mind

Woman down in Memphis
Told me that your love was true
Said that we would soon get married
Said you'd always do me right
Oh! Woman, you was triflin'
Soon as I was out of sight

I went to the doctor
Asked him what was wrong with me
Said I'd have to leave this country
Get away from Memphis town
Oh! He said I'd been grievin'
'Till my health was all broke down

Woman down in Memphis
Listen to my lonesome song
Woman down in Memphis
Won't be singin' very long
When they take me to the graveyard
Lay me in the cold cold ground
Oh! Woman down in Memphis
Hope the Lord will strike you down

Always Have, Always Will (Janie Fricke)


Always Have, Always Will
Composer(s): Johnny Mears
Performer(s): Janie Fricke



It seems funny I remember your number
After all this time
And I know that it's late
And I hope that I'm not out o' line

But for some crazy reason
I bin thinkin' 'bout you all day
And every three hours now
I bin thinkin' of somethin' to say I

love you like a fool
Always have, always will
But you know that it's just my point of view
But I love you still
Always have, always will
Always have, always will love you

Well now, are you sleepin' any better
Now that I'm gone
And I wanna know who's holdin' you tight
Or are you just holdin' on

You're awfully quiet, I guess you're tired
So I'll hang up the phone
But you know that this ol' heart
Can't leave well enough alone

I love you like a fool
Always have, always will
But you know, yes you know that it's just my point of view
But I, I love you still
Always have, always will
Always have, always will love you

Woman (Uh-Huh)


Woman (Uh-Huh)
Composer(s): Dick Gleason
Performer(s): José Ferrer & Rosemary Clooney;
Johnny Desmond



Ferrer:
Oh woman, oh woman, oh what can she be
Whatever she is, she's necessary

A woman is something both evil and good
But too complicated to be understood
An angel when lovin', a devil when mad
A woman can make you both happy and sad

Uh-huh (Clooney: Um-hum)
Uh-huh (Clooney: Um-hum)
Uh-huh (Clooney: Um-hum)
Uh-huh (Clooney: Um-hum)
Oh woman, oh woman, oh what can she be
Whatever she is, she's necessary

Afraid of a cricket, she'll scream at a mouse
But she'll tackle a husband as big as a house
She'll take him for better, she'll take him for worse
She'll bust his head open and then be his nurse

Uh-huh (Clooney: Um-hum)
Uh-huh (Clooney: Um-hum)
Uh-huh (Clooney: Um-hum)
Uh-huh (Clooney: Um-hum)
Oh woman, oh woman, oh what can she be
Whatever she is, she's necessary

She's bashful, deceitful, keen sighted and blind
Simple and crafty, and cruel and kind
In the morning she does, in the evening she don't
You're always a thinkin' she will, but she won't

Uh-huh (Clooney: Um-hum)
Uh-huh (Clooney: Um-hum)
Uh-huh (Clooney: Um-hum)
Uh-huh (Clooney: Ha-ha-ha)
Oh woman, oh woman, oh what can she be
Whatever she is, she's necessary

Clooney:
Girls, turn this record over and listen to the Wife's side!

My love is shining like the sun
A star that shines for only one
It's always for you, darling

Always for you

It's always for you, darling
Always for you

Woman (Peter & Gordon)


Woman
Composer(s): Bernard "Boogie Bill" Webb (aka Paul McCartney)
Performer(s): Peter & Gordon



Woman do you love me?
Woman if you need me then believe me
I need you to be my woman

Woman do you love me?
Woman if you need me then believe me
I need you to be my woman

And should you ask me how I'm doing
what shall I say, things are O.K.
Well I know that they're not
and I still may have lost you

Woman do you love me?
Woman if you need me then believe me
I need you to be my woman

And should you take your time and tell me
when we're alone, love will come home
I would give up my world
if you'll say that my girl is my woman

I've got plenty of time
help me just to get through it
Once again you'll be mine
I still think we can do it
And you know how much I love you

Woman don't forsake me
Woman if you take me then believe me
I'll take you to be my woman

And if you get lonely, phone me
And take a second to give to me the magic you make

and various other artists



(For the other half of the sky)

Woman I can hardly express
My mixed emotions at my thoughtlessness
After all I'm forever in your debt
And woman I will try to express
My inner feelings and thankfulness
For showing me the meaning of success

Ooh, well, well
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
Ooh, well, well
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo

Woman I know you understand
The little child inside of the man
Please remember my life is in your hands
And woman hold me close to your heart
However distant don't keep us apart
After all it is written in the stars

Woman please let me explain
I never meant to cause you sorrow or pain
So let me tell you again and again and again

I love you, yeah, yeah
Now and forever
I love you, yeah, yeah
Now and forever
I love you, yeah, yeah
Now and forever

Wolverton Mountain


Wolverton Mountain
Composer(s): Merle Kilgore; Claude King
Original Performer: Claude King
Covered by various other artists



They say don't go on Wolverton Mountain
If you're looking for a wife
'Cause Clifton Clowers has a pretty young daughter
He's mighty handy with a gun and a knife

Her tender lips are sweeter than honey
And Wolverton mountain protects her there
The bears and birds tell Clifton Clowers
If a stranger should wander there

All of my dreams are on Wolverton Mountain
I want his daughter for my wife
I'll take my chances and climb that mountain
Though Clifton Clowers, he may take my life

Her tender lips are sweeter than honey
And Wolverton mountain protects her there
The bears and birds tell Clifton Clowers
If a stranger should wander there

I'm going up on Wolverton Mountain
It's too lonesome down here below
It's just not right to hide his daughter
From the one who loves her so

Her tender lips are sweeter than honey
And Wolverton mountain protects her there
The bears and birds tell Clifton Clowers
If a stranger should wander there

But I don't care about Clifton Clowers
I'm gonna climb up on his mountain
I'm gonna take the girl I love
I don't care about Clifton Clowers
I'm a gonna climb up on that mountain
And I'll get the one I Iove
I don't care about Clifton Clowers
I'm gonna find the one I love
I don't care about Clifton Clowers
I'm gonna find the one I love
I'm gonna find the one I love

Wolf Creek Pass


Wolf Creek Pass
Composer(s): Bill Fries; Chip Davis
Performer(s): C.W. McCall



Me an' Earl was haulin' chickens
On a flatbed outa Wiggins
And we had spent all night on the uphill side
Of thirty seven miles of hell called Wolf Crick Pass
Which was up on the great divide

And we was sittin' there suckin' toothpicks
And drinkin' Nehis an' onion soup mix
And I says "Earl, let's mail a card to mother
And then send them chickens on down t'other side"
Yeah, lets give them hens a ride

Wolf Crick Pass way up on the great divide
Truckin' on down, the other side

Well Earl put down his bottle
Mashed his foot down on the throttle
And then a couple of boobs, with a thousand cubes
In a 1948 Peterbuilt screamed to life
We woke up the chickens

We roared up off'n that shoulder
Sprayin' pine cones rocks 'n boulders
And put four hundred head of them Road Island Reds
And a couple of burnt out roosters on the line
Look out below... 'cause here we go

Wolf Crick Pass way up on the great divide
Truckin' on down, the other side

Well we commenced a truckin'
And them hens commenced a cluckin'
Then Earl took out a match, and scratched his pants
And lit up the unused half of a dollar cigar
And took a puff
Says "My ain't this pretty up here"

And I says "Earl this hill can spill us
You better slow down or you gonna kill us
Just make one mistake and it's the pearly gates
For them eighty five crates
Of USDA approved cluckers
You wanna hit second?"

Wolf Crick Pass way up on the great divide
Truckin' on down, the other side

Well Earl grabbed on the shifter
And he stabbed her into fifth gear
And then the chromium plated, fully illuminated
Genuine ac-cessory shift knob
Come right off in his hand
I says "you wana screw that thing back on Earl?"

He was tryin' to thread it on there
When the fire fell off a his cigar
And dropped on down sorta rolled around
And lit the cuff of Earls pants
And burnt a whole in his sock
Yeah it sorta set him right on fire

I looked on outa the window
An' I started in a countin' phone poles
Goin' by at the rate of four to the seventh power
I put two an' two together
Added twelve, an' carried five
Come up with twenty two thousand telephone poles an hour

I looked at Earl an' his eyes was wide
His lip was curled and his leg was fried
And his hands was froze to the wheel
Like a tongue to a sled in the middle of a blizzard
And I said Earl I'm not the type to complain
But the time has come for me to explain
That if you don't apply some brake real soon
They're gonna have to pick us up with a stick an' a spoon

Well Earl rared back
Cocked his leg
Stepped down as hard as he could on the brake
And the pedal went clear to the floor
And stayed - right there on the floor
Says it's sorta like steppin' on a plum
Well from there on down it just wasn't real pretty
It was hairpin county and switchback city
One of 'em looked like a can full of worms
Another one looked like malaria germs
Right in the middle of the whole damn show
Was a real nice tunnel now wouldn't you know
Sign says clearance to the twelve foot line
But them chickens was stacked to thirteen nine
Well we shot that tunnel at a hundred an' ten
Like gas through a funnel an' eggs through a hen
An' we took that top row of chickens off
Slicker 'n the scum off a Louisiana swamp
Went down an' around an' around an' down
An' we run outta ground at the edge of town
An' bashed on into the side of a feed store
In downtown Pagosa Springs

Wolf Crick Pass way up on the great divide
Truckin' on down, the other side

Wolf Crick Pass way up on the great divide
Truckin' on down, the other side

Alumbramento


Alumbramento
Composer(s): Chico Buarque - Djavan
Performer(s): Djavan



Deve ser bem morna
Deve ser maternal
Sentar no colchão
E sorrir, e zangar
Tapear tua mão
Isso sim, isso não

Deve ser bem louca
Deve ser animal
Hálito de gim
Vai fingir, vai gemer
E dizer:
Ai de mim!

E de repente deve ter
Um engenho, um poder
Que é pro menino fraquejar
Alucinar, derreter

Deve estar com pressa
E partir, e deixar
Cica de caju
No olhar do guri
Por aí
Deve ser

Wolf Call

Flip, flop an' fly-eye
What a cutie pie I see
Oops shoopa doo-wah
Lips of honey that's for me

Shim sham shimmie
I can't forget you baby, there's no doubt
I saw you standing 'gainst the wall
I whistled and I gave my all
Now don't tell me you don't fall
For a little wolf call

Just a little kiss'll put me in a whirl
I'll never whistle dearie at another girl
You love me well we'll have a ball
Why do you try to stall
Now don't tell me you don't fall
For a little wolf call
For that wolf call
For that wolf call

Althea


Althea
Composer(s): Jerry Garcia - Robert Hunter
Performer(s): Grateful Dead; Culture; Pickin' On



I told Althea I was feeling lost
Lackin' in some direction
Althea told me upon scrutiny that my
Back might need protection
I told Althea that treachery
Was tearin' me limb from limb
Althea told me, now, cool down boy
Settle back, easy Jim

You may be Saturday's child all alone
Movin' with tinge of grace
You may be a clown in the burying ground
Or just another pretty face
You my be the fate of Ophelia
Sleepin' and perchance to dream
Honest to the point of recklessness
Self-centered in the extreme

Ain't nobody messin' with you but you
Your friends are getting most concerned
Loose with the truth baby, it's your fire
Baby, I hope you don't get burned
When the smoke has cleared she said
That's what she said to me
Gonna want a bed to lay your head
And a little sympathy

There are things you can replace
And others you can not
The time has come to weigh those things
This space is getting hot
You know this space is getting hot

I told Althea I'm a roving son
And I was born to be a bachelor
Althea told me, OK, that's fine
So now I'm tryin' to catch her
Can't talk to you without talkin' to me
We're guilty of the same old thing
Thinkin' a lot about less and less
And forgetting the love we bring

Wolf At Your Door


Wolf At Your Door
Composer(s): Marvin Lee Aday; Steve Buslowe
Performer(s): Meat Loaf



Two a.m. with the lost and the lonely
Walkin' past the kids, comin' back from the party
Smiles on their faces, you remember so well how it was
Nights in the back of that Buick that you got runnin'
Your baby by your side, told the whole world you're comin'

Chorus:
Work so hard to do what is right
Believed in what you're doin', but so many fights
Trusted too many, believed too much, workin' your life to the bone

There's a wolf at your door, he wants your money, wants your soul
A wolf at your door, you give it all, he wants more
There's a wolf at your door, he says he's playin' for keeps
Breathin' down your neck, boy it's sure hard to sleep
With a wolf at your door

They'll take it away, when you're not lookin'
Look you in the eyes, tell you how good they're doin'
Smiles on their faces, are lies to keep you from knowin'
You're not guilty, you are the victim, but you still pay for the crime
Don't look for trouble, it'll always find you in time

Work so hard to do what is right
Believed in what you're doin', but so many fights
Trusted too many, relieved too much, workin' your life to the bone

There's a wolf at your door, he says he's playin' for keeps
Breathin' down your neck, boy it's sure hard to sleep
With a wolf at your door

It won't be broken, I'll fight 'til I drop, blood burnin' hot in my veins
But they won't be satisfied until they take everything

(chorus)

Alta Marea


Alta Marea
((Adapted from: Don't Dream It's Over (Crowded House) - 1986))
Composer(s): Neil Finn - Antonello Venditti
Performer(s): Antonello Venditti - 1991
and multiple other artists



Autostrada deserta
al confine del mare
sento il cuore più forte di questo motore
sigarette mai spente
sulla radio che parla
io che guido seguendo le luci dell'alba
Lo so, lo sai
la mente vola
fuori dal tempo
e si ritrova sola
senza più corpo
ne prigioniera
nasce l'aurora
Tu sei dentro di me
come l'alta marea
che scompare e riappare portandoti via
sei il mistero profondo
la passione l'idea
sei l'immensa paura che tu non sia mia
lo so, lo sai
il tempo vola
ma quanta strada
per rivederti ancora
per uno sguardo per il mio orgoglio
quanto ti voglio... quanto ti voglio...
Tu sei dentro di me
come l'alta marea
che scompare e riappare portandoti via
sei il mistero profondo
la passione l'idea
sei l'immensa paura che tu non sia mia
Lo so, lo sai
il tempo vola
ma quanta strada
per rivederti ancora
per uno sguardo per il mio orgoglio
quanto ti voglio...
per dirti quanto ti voglio
per dirti quanto ti voglio
per dirti quanto ti voglio...
