Detour (There's A Muddy Road Ahead)


Detour (There's A Muddy Road Ahead)
Composer(s): Paul Westmoreland
First release by: Spade Cooley and His Orch.
Covered by multiple other artists



Detour, there's a muddy road ahead, detour
Paid no mind to what it said
Detour, oh these bitter things I find
Should have read
That detour sign

Headed down life's crooked road, lots of things I never knowed
Because of me not knowin', I now pine
Trouble got in the trail, spent the next 5 years in jail
Should have read (should have read) that detour sign

Detour, there's a muddy road ahead, detour
Paid no mind to what it said
Detour, oh these bitter things I find
Should have read
That detour sign

When I got right to the place where it said "About Face"
I thought that all my worries were behind
But the farther I go, more sorrow I know
Should have read (should have read)
That detour sign

Detour, there's a muddy road ahead, detour
Paid no mind to what it said
Detour, oh these bitter things I find
Should have read
That detour sign

When I got stuck in the mud all my hopes dropped with a thud
I guess that my heart strings are made of twine
Have no willpower to get from the hole that I'm in yet
Should have read (should have read) that detour sign

Detour, there's a muddy road ahead, detour
Paid no mind to what it said
Detour, oh these bitter things I find
Should have read
That detour sign

Should have read that detour sign
Should have read that detour sign (that detour sign)

The Busiest Memory In Town


The Busiest Memory In Town
Composer(s): Geoffrey Morgan
Performer(s): Dickey Lee; Ronnie Milsap; Ernest Tubb



You're with me from my first cup of coffee
Right up till that last beer goes down
You're on my mind so I can't sleep till morning
You're the busiest mem'ry in town
Had a talk last night with your new love
But then he mentioned a few more you'd found
So we drank a toast to the next one and the busiest mem'ry in town

Babe sometimes you simply amaze me
With how fast you spread that heartache around
It must be hello, I love you, I'm leaving
You're the busiest mem'ry in town

Babe sometimes you simply amaze me...
It must be hello, I love you, I'm leaving
You're the busiest mem'ry in town

Deteriorata!


Deteriorata! Composer(s): Christopher Guest - Tony Hendra Performer(s): National Lampoon; Norman Rose



You are a fluke Of the universe You have no right to be here... Deteriorata! Deteriorata! Go placidly Amid the noise and waste And remember what comfort there may be In owning a piece thereof Avoid quiet and passive persons Unless you are in need of sleep Ro-tate your tires Speak glowingly of those greater than yourself And heed well their advice Even though they be turkeys Know what to kiss... and when! Consider that two wrongs never make a right But that three... do Wherever possible, put people on hold Be comforted that in the face of all aridity and disillusionment And despite the changing fortunes of time There is always a big future in computer maintenance You are a fluke Of the universe You have no right to be here And whether you can hear it or not The universe is laughing behind your back Remember the Pueblo Strive at all times to bend, fold, spindle and mutilate Know yourself If you need help, call the FBI Exercise caution in your daily affairs Especially with those persons closest to you That lemon on your left, for instance Be assured that a walk through the ocean of most souls Would scarcely get your feet wet Fall not in love therefore It will stick to your face Gracefully surrender the things of youth The birds, clean air, tuna, Taiwan And let not the sands of time Get in your lunch Hire people with hooks For a good time call 606-4311 Ask for "Ken" Take heart amid the deepening gloom That your dog is finally getting enough cheese And reflect that whatever misfortune may be your lot It could only be worse in Milwaukee You are a fluke Of the universe You have no right to be here And whether you can hear it or not The universe is laughing behind your back Therefore, make peace with your god Whatever you conceive him to be Hairy thunderer, or cosmic muffin With all its hopes, dreams, promises and urban renewal The world continues to deteriorate Give up! You are a fluke Of the universe You have no right to be here And whether you can hear it or not The universe is laughing behind your back

Willy Jones


Willy Jones
Composer(s): Buck Owens)
Performer(s): Susan Raye; Leslie Morrisett; Sylvie



Met a boy named Willie Jones
Comes from the wrong side of town
Daddy said he ain't no good
Don't want him hanging around
Mama said that I'm too young to know what I feel
But I know I love Willy Jones and I always will
Willy Jones, it's you and me against all the world
I don't care what people, say I'm gonna be your girl
Just because our love is young, don't mean it's not real
God knows I love Willy Jones and I always will

Hammer nails and puppy dog tails is what they call Willy Jones
Tambourines and guitar strings don't make us all wrong
Don't do this and don't do that, has got my future looking dim
Oh Willy Jones can't come to me
I'm gonna go to him
Willy Jones it's you and me...
Willy Jones it's you and me...

Detalhes


Detalhes ((Italian Version: Dettagli (Ornella Vanoni) - 1973)) Composer(s): Roberto Carlos - Erasmo Carlos First release by: Roberto Carlos - 1971 Covered by multiple other artists



Não adianta nem tentar me esquecer
Durante muito tempo em sua vida eu vou viver
Detalhes tão pequenos de nós dois
São coisas muito grandes pra esquecer
E a toda hora vão estar presentes
Você vai ver

Se um outro cabeludo aparecer na sua rua
E isto lhe trouxer saudades minhas
A culpa é sua
O ronco barulhento do seu carro
A velha calça desbotada ou coisa assim
Imediatamente você vai lembrar de mim

Eu sei que um outro deve estar falando ao seu ouvido
Palavras de amor como eu falei
Mas eu duvido
Duvido que ele tenha tanto amor
E até os erros do meu português ruim
E nessa hora você vai lembrar de mim

À noite envolvida no silêncio do seu quarto
Antes de dormir você procura o meu retrato
Mas na moldura não sou eu quem lhe sorri
Mas você vê o meu sorriso mesmo assim
E tudo isso vai fazer você lembrar de mim
Se alguém tocar seu corpo como eu
Não diga nada
Não vá dizer meu nome sem querer à pessoa errada
Pensando ter amor nesse momento
Desesperada você tenta até o fim
E até nesse momento você vai lembrar de mim

Eu sei que esses detalhes vão sumir na longa estrada
Do tempo que transforma todo amor em quase nada
Mas quase também é mais um detalhe
Um grande amor não vai morrer assim
Por isso de vez em quando você vai
Vai lembrar de mim

Det Ligger I Luften


Det Ligger I Luften
Composer(s): Tomas Ledin
Performer(s): Tomas Ledin



wwåå, det ligger i luften
någonting är på gång
wwåå, det ligger i luften (wow)
kanske natten blir lång

Åå, det ligger i luften
någonting är på gång
åå, det ligger i luften
kanske natten blir lång

någonting hände när du kom in
det kände jag bestämt
på något obestämt vis
svårt och säga exakt vad det är
det går inte ta på
det går inte och se
men vad spelar det för roll
huvudsaken är

Åå, det ligger i luften
någonting är på gång
åå, det ligger i luften
kanske natten blir lång

Jag blev galen när du dök upp
kanske överdriver jag
men det gör väl ingenting
för sant och säkert
vad är nu det
det går inte ta på
det går inte och se
men vad spelar det för roll
huvudsaken är

Åå, det ligger i luften
någonting är på gång
åå, det ligger i luften
kanske natten blir lång

Åå, det ligger i luften
åå, det ligger i luften
åå, det ligger i luften
åå, det ligger i luften

Apology


Apology
Composer(s): Valentine - Heatherton
Performer(s): The Go-Go's



I will find a way to move on
Discontent had its day the pleasure's gone
If you ask me to describe
What I could want with all I've got
I'd say good days and thank you's
Instead of all these question marks

'Cause when I found you
I thought my life was charmed
And we'd be safe from what
Has happened now has happened now

Apology I'm Sorry Apology I'm Sorry
Apology I'm Sorry But I Have No Regrets

No one knows just why I can't stay
Starting over's alright the end so far away
I know I seem careless
My moods they change like the weather
So I ask your forgiveness
While I pull myself together
In the meantime
I live I work I wait I hope
I still have faith
That what was mine can still be mine

Apology I'm Sorry Apology I'm Sorry
Apology I'm Sorry But I Have No Regrets

In the meantime
I live I work I wait I hope
I still have faith
That what was mine can still be mine

Apology I'm Sorry Apology I'm Sorry
Apology I'm Sorry But I Have No Regrets
You'll Be Sorry I'll Be Sorry Everybody Will Be Sorry

Det Handlar Om Kärlek


Det Handlar Om Kärlek
((German Version: Concerto D'Amore (Agnetha Fältskog))
Composer(s): H. Blum - Bengt Haslum
Performer(s): Agnetha Fältskog



Det handlar om kärlek
Om love och amore
Det handlar om just det som alltid är på gång
I varje nyfödd sång

Det ligger i luften
När han möter henne
I leenden och blickar och när händer möts
Och bakom alla ord som sägs

Det handlar om kärlek
Om love och amore
Och drabbas man så har man ingen tanke på
Nåt annat än sin vän

Ja nog vet vi det du och jag
Här rår kärleken natt och dag
Och varje stund du är borta från mig
Vänder var tanke tillbaka till dig

Det handlar om kärlek
Om love och amore
Det är en gudagåva vi har fått vi två
Den ska vi vårda ömt

Oh vad skönt det känns
Livet ler
Härligt utan gräns
Allt som sker

Det handlar om kärlek!

Stop The Clock

Tick-tock, stop the clock
Tick-tock, stop the clock
Time keeps moving on
Soon my baby will be gone
Away, poor me

Tick-tock, stop the clock

Tick-tock, stop the clock
She's gonna catch the train at three
That'll be the end of me
Tick-tock, stop the clock

Tick-tock, stop the clock
Tick-tock, stop the clock
For my baby would be mine
If I could just turn back the time
Tick-tock, stop the clock

Tick-tock, stop the clock
Tick-tock, stop the clock

Soon my baby will be gone
Tick-tock, stop the clock

Tick-tock, stop the clock
Tick-tock, stop the clock
For my baby would be mine
If I could just turn back the time
Tick-tock, stop the clock

Det Är Vår


Det Är Vår Composer(s): Bobbie Ericson - Eric Sandström Performer(s): Alice Babs



Det är vår
Varje år
blir det vår
Och en värmande sol
väcker upp allt som somnat en gång i fjol

Det är vår i luften i dag
Det är vår, så är naturens lag
Och västanvinden
som kysser kinden
viskar det är vår
Det är vår i sinnet i dag
Det är vår, det är av välbehag
Som himlen gråter
och solen åter
säger det är vår
Ur den svartaste mull
smyger våren på tå
för små gullvivors skull
och för blåsippor små
Det är vår i hjärtat i dag
Det är vår, o ljuva obehag
Som blodet bränner
var gång vi känner
känner det är vår

Ur den svartaste mull
smyger våren på tå
För små gullvivors skull
och för blåsippor små
Det är vår i hjärtat i dag
Det är vår, o ljuva obehag
Som blodet bränner
var gång vi känner
känner det är vår

A-Plus In Love


A-Plus In Love
Composer(s): Johnny Dee
Performer(s): John D. Loudermilk



I may make an "F" in English
They say my grammar just ain't good enough
I may make a "D" in History
And that Espaniola, boy, is rough
Well I may flank the whole semester
But if I do I'll promise stars above
That if I make an "E" in Geography
Gonna make an "A-plus" in love

Well now my girl just gave me a lecture
By showing how to get my home-work up
What a crip-course this is
The subject was on kisses
This is gonna pull my av'rage up
But just you wait, exams come tomorrow
I'm gonna cram and study till almost two
So I can make me an "E" in Geography
And "A-plus" in love with you

Well, now the grades ain't out
But I know what I've done
I've flanked all the courses but my favourite one
I played but I made A-plus in love with you

It's Lonesome


It's Lonesome
Composer(s): Hank Cochran
Performer(s): Billy Walker



I've walked a million miles across this floor
And a million times I opened this door
But all there ever enters is the blues, hmm
It's lonesome without you

I know we just broke up two days ago
But it seems a million years or so
To get you back there's nothing I wouldn't do, hmm
It's lonesome without you

If I could count high enough I'd let you know
How many times I wished that you'd walk through that door
And love me as only you can do, hmm
It's lonesome without you

If I could count high enough I'd let you know
How many times I wished that you'd walk through that door
And love me as only you can do, hmm
It's lonesome without you

Oh, love me as only you can do, hmm
It's lonesome without you ...

Destiny (Gloria Estefan)


Destiny Composer(s): Lawrence Dermer - Gloria Estefan - Emilio Estefan Jr. - Diane Warren Performer(s): Gloria Estefan



Destiny
Has once again suprised me
Oh destiny
Must want you here beside me
Quietly
Like the sunrise with its splendor
Unexpectedly
With a passion strong yet tender

You draw me in
Like the moon draws the tide
Swept away by this love
Taken in by your eyes

If I had to walk away from you
I know that it would be no use
'cause you're so deep inside of me
Can't deny

I never want to be set free
The more you give the more I need
You can't change what is meant to be
No you can't change destiny
Destiny

Destiny
Speaks with many voices
So eventually
We're obliged to make some choices

Oh destiny
Who I thought I owned completely
Just to toy with me
Made me fall in love so deeply

You fill my soul
Like the stars fill the sky
Brought to life
This new world
Where I'm held captive inside
If I had to walk away from you
I know that it would be no use
'cause you're so deep inside of me
Can't deny
I never want to be set free
The more you give the more I need
You can't change what is meant to be
No, you can't change destiny
If I had to walk away from you
I know that it would be no use
No you can't change destiny
Destiny
Destiny
Destiny

Destination Terre


Destination Terre Composer(s): Claude Moine - Pierre Papadiamandis Performer(s): Eddy Mitchell; Los Angeles



Le bris de glace d'un coup de cristal est crispant Mais demeure élégant Le cri du bar qui ferme est déchirant Tout comme un son "dolby surround" Quelle que soit la ville, le lieu, l'endroit ou l'heure Y a toujours l'instant où y' a un blues qui pleure Pourquoi les gens qui s'aiment aiment s'faire du mal Même à titre expérimental? Les larmes sont peut-être plus salées Dans les yeux des amours blessés Ah quelque soit la nuit, le p'tit jour est là à l'heure Les brèves de comptoir s'terminent sur des rancœurs ... Faut décoller Destination Terre Faut r'tomber Mais sans planer Et surtout réapprendre à s'aimer Destination Terre Essayer De r'trouver Just' un zest, un semblant de dignité Affronter l'temps réel Cett' planète, Destination Terre Pourquoi les gens sensibles sont souvent Considérés comm' des mutants? Ils ressent' trop d'courants, de sentiments Là où les autres ne font semblant Quelles que soient leurs vies, le meilleur est ailleurs Ce monde impossible n'existe que dans leurs cœurs ... Faut pas rêver Destination Terre Faut r'tomber Mais sans planer Et surtout réapprendre à s'aimer Destination Terre Essayer De r'trouver Just' un zest, un semblant de dignité Affronter l'temps réel Cett' planète, Destination Terre

Apesar De Você


Apesar De Você
Composer(s): Chico Buarque
Performer(s): Chico Buarque



Hoje você é quem manda
Falou, tá falado
Não tem discussão
A minha gente hoje anda
Falando de lado
E olhando pro chão, viu
Você que inventou de inventar
Toda a escuridão
Você que inventou o pecado
Esqueceu-se de inventar
O perdão

Apesar de você
Amanhã há de ser
Outro dia
Eu pergunto a você
Onde vai se esconder
Da enorme euforia
Como vai proibir
Quando o galo insistir
Em cantar
Água nova brotando
E a gente se amando
Sem parar

Quando chegar o momento
Esse meu sofrimento
Vou cobrar com ljuros, juro
Todo esse amor reprimido
Esse grito contido
Este samba no escuro
Você que inventou a tristeza
Ora, tenha fineza
De desinventar
Você vai pagar e é dobrado
Cada lágrima rolada
Nesse meu penar

Apesar de você
Amanhã há de ser
Outro dia
Inda pago pra ver
O jardim florescer
Qual você não queria
Você vai se amargar
Vendo o dia raiar
Sem lhe pedir licença
E eu vou morrer de rir
Que esse dia há de vir
Antes do que você pensa

Apesar de você
Amanhã há de ser
Outro dia
Você vai ter que ver
A manhã renascer
E esbanjar poesia
Como vai se explicar
Vendo o céu clarear
De repente, impunemente
Como vai abafar
Nosso coro a cantar
Na sua frente

Apesar de você
Amanhã há de ser
Outro dia
Você vai se dar mal
Etc. e tal
