Listening
Listening
Composer(s): Michael Nesmith
Performer(s): Michael Nesmith
Sometimes thoughts coincidental
With activities quite simple
In consideration seem to be quite meaningless
Yet hoping for the best
I listen for the rest
Listening to find a way
To overcome earthbound decay
Still I'm classifying these ideas that come to me
Into those that I can see
And those that I can feel
It seems it should be
So easy to do
The things that I am led to do
But conviction and courage
Sometimes drift apart
And takes me back to the start
Sometimes thoughts coincidental
With activities quite simple
In consideration seem to be quite meaningless
Yet hoping for the best
I listen for the rest

Maggie Mae
Maggie Mae
Originally performed by: The Beatles
Oh, dirty Maggie Mae
they have taken her away
and she'll never walk
down Lime Street anymore
Oh, the judge she guilty found her
of robbing the homeward bounder
dirty no good robbing Maggie Mae
It's the part of Liverpool
She returned me to
Two pound ten a week
that was my pay

Listen Mr. Bilbo
Composer(s): Adrienne Claiborne - Bob Claiborne
Performer(s): Peter, Paul and Mary
and multiple other artists
Listen, Mr. Bigot, listen to me, I'll give you a lesson in history
Listen while I tell you that the foreigners you hate
Are the very same people made America great
Oh listen Mr. Bigot, uh-huh ... listen Mr. Bigot
In 1492, just to see what he could see
Columbus, who was an Italian set out across the sea
He said "Isabella, baby, the world is round
And the USA's just awaitin' to be found"
Listen, Mr. Bigot, listen to me, I'll give you a lesson in history
Listen while I tell you that the foreigners you hate
Are the very same people made America great
Oh listen Mr. Bigot, uh-huh ... listen Mr. Bigot
Oh listen Mr. Bigot, (well, some of my best friends are)
Listen Mr. Bigot (oh, they like to live with their own kind)
Well when the King of England started pushin' Yanks around
They had a little trouble up in Boston town
But a brave, black, Crispus Attucks was the man
The first one to fall when the fightin' began
Listen, Mr. Bigot, listen to me, I'll give you a lesson in history
Listen while I tell you that the foreigners you hate
Are the very same people made America great
Oh listen Mr. Bigot, uh-huh ... listen Mr. Bigot
Oh listen Mr. Bigot
(They can't help it
It's their cultural point of view)
Listen Mr. Bigot (They all look alike to me!)
Now Bigot, you're taking one hell of a chance
Your good friends the Duponts, came over from France
Another thing I'm sure will be news to you
The first Mr. Bigot was a foreigner too
Listen, Mr. Bigot, listen to me, I'll give you a lesson in history
Listen while I tell you that the foreigners you hate
Are the very same people made America great
Oh listen Mr. Bigot, uh-huh ... listen Mr. Bigot
You don't like blacks, you don't like jews
Well if there's anyone you do like, it sure is news
You don't like Poles, Hispanics too
Anyway they serve you up, we don't like you
Listen, Mr. Bigot, listen to me, I'll give you a lesson in history
Listen while I tell you that the foreigners you hate
Are the very same people made America great
Oh listen Mr. Bigot, uh-huh ... listen Mr. Bigot
Oh listen Mr. Bigot
(Well there we were on the beach, just trying to get some sun
And up comes a busload of them, well first they got these boxes that play this music
I mean it's not even in English
Then they take out these stoves or hibachi's or something
The smoke was dreadful, the smell was even worse
I wouldn't let my daughter marry one, ya know?)
Listen Mr. Bigot

Maggie
Maggie
(Traditional)
Performer(s): Maura O'Connell
The violets were scenting the woods Maggie
Displaying their charms to the breeze
When I first said I loved only you Maggie
And you said you loved only me
The chestnut blooms green through the glades Maggie
A robin sang aloud from the tree
When I first said I loved only you Maggie
And you said you loved only me
A golden row of daffodils shone Maggie
And danced with the leaves on the breeze
When I first said I loved only you Maggie
And you said you loved only me
The birds in the trees sang a song Maggie
Of happy a trance for us to be
When I first said I loved only you Maggie
And you said you loved only me
Our dreams they have never come true Maggie
Our hopes they never were to be
When I first said I loved only you Maggie
And you said you loved only me

Listen, Learn, Read On
Listen, Learn, Read On
Composer(s): Ian Paice - Jon Lord - Ritchie Blackmore - Rod Evans
Performer(s): Deep Purple
In ages past when spells were cast
In a time of men in steel
When a man was taught no special thing
It was all done by feel
So listen, so learn, so read on
You gotta turn the page, read the Book of Taliesyn
Hear the song of lovely Joan
Her sound so sweet and clear
In the courtroom of the King
Among children and the peers
So listen, so learn, so read on
You gotta turn the page, read the Book of Taliesyn
'Now hear ye the words of Taliesyn,
on the foaming beach of the ocean,
in the day of trouble,
I shall be of more service to thee
than three hundred salmon...'
The hare he bounds across the page
Past castles white and fair
Past dreaming chessmen on their boards
With a fool's mate as a snare
So listen, so learn, so read on
You gotta turn the page, read the Book of Taliesyn
'Three times I have been born
I know this from meditation...'
The bird he flies the distance
From pages two to six
Past minstrels in their boxes
To the waters of the Styx
So listen, so learn, so read on
You gotta turn the page, read the Book of Taliesyn
Don't take the pictures lightly
Listen to their sound
For from their coloured feeling
Experience is found
So listen, so learn, so read on
You gotta turn the page, read the Book of Taliesyn
'All the sciences of the world are collected in my breast
for I know what has been, what is now
and what hereafter will occur ...'

Maestras De Jujuy
Maestras De Jujuy
Composer(s): León Gieco; Luis Gurevich
Performer(s): León Gieco
Llanto en flor aventura o sueño
solitaria al viento de Jujuy
en un rincón del mundo
Silencio homenaje de niños
las nubes se abren para el sol
aliento del olvido
Despierta el camino la aurora
las estrellas dejan de brillar
La mula elige al azar pisar
entre las huellas nuevas
Es como una herida que sangra en libertad
es una soledad llena de alegrías
Es como una flor que se abre en la piedra
es la historia cercana a la memoria de glorias
glorias, glorias
Llorando las plegarias del gorrión
es una voz baja que grita
a quién le importa el co-ora-azón
Bailando nueva ronda de hoy
nadie tiene la calma de ver
una gota de rocío
A veces el cielo te nombra
mensajera de la vida
No es Dios quien bendice sino la luna
cuando caen los días
Es como una herida que sangra en libertad
es una soledad llena de alegrías
Es como una flor que se abre en la piedra
es la historia cercana a la memoria de glorias
glorias, glorias

Madrigal
Madrigal
Composer(s): Don Felo
Performer(s): José Feliciano
Estando contigo me olvido de todo y de mi
parece que todo lo tengo teniéndote a ti
y no siento este mal que me agobia y que lo llevo conmigo
arruinando esta vida que tengo y no puedo vivir
Una rosa en tu pelo parece una estrella en el cielo
y en el viento parece un acento tu voz musical
y parece un destello de luz la medalla en tu cuello
al menor movimiento de tu cuerpo al andar
Yo a tu lado no siento las horas que van con el tiempo
ni me acuerdo que llevo en el pecho una herida mortal
yo contigo no siento el sonar de la lluvia y el viento
porque llevo tu amor en mi pecho como un madrigal

Atmospherics: Listen to the Radio
Atmospherics: Listen to the Radio
Composer(s): Peter Gabriel - Tom Robinson
First release by: Tom Robinson - 1984
Leave the bureau in the snow
Catch a tram to Onkel PO
Early evening ring around the moon
Slip in by the concierge
By the bikes and up the stairs
Snap the latch and creep into the room
You throw off your coat, pick up the post
And put a coffee on
Lie down on the bed, lay back your head
And smoke a cigarette
And listen to the radio
Listen to the radio
In the city late tonight
Double feature, black and white
"Bitter Tears" and "Taxi to the Klo"
Find a bar, avoid a fight
Show your papers, be polite
Walking home with nowhere else to go
You throw off your coat, pick up my note
Put another coffee on
Lie down on the bed, lay back your head
And smoke a cigarette
And listen to the radio
Listen to the radio
Atmospherics after dark
Noise and voices from the past
Across the dial from Moscow to Cologne
Interference in the night
Thousand miles on either side
Stations fading into the unknown
So throw off your coat, we'll butter some toast
And put a coffee on
We'll lie down on the bed, lay back our heads
Smoke another cigarette
And listen to the radio
Listen to the radio
All night long ...

Niente di nuovo
Tranne l'affitto x me
Che mi ritrovo
E mi riperdo x ché
Non ho piú un Dio non ho

Vago nel vento

Niente di nuovo
Tranne l'affitto x me

Ti amo x ché ne ho bisogno
Non x ché ho bisogno di te
Io vago nel vento
Vado peró!
Mama salvami l'anima

E non é x caso che
Vengo in ginocchio da te

Carezzami la testa
Che vado nel vento
Vago peró!

Listen To The Ocean
Listen To The Ocean
Composer(s): Nina Möller - Frederik Von Pallandt
Performer(s): Nina & Frederik
There's a world of sun and sand
Full of sky and far from land
Where evening breezes caress the shore
Like a gentle comforting hand
Fragrant blossoms, honey bees
Careless laughter upon the breeze
And lovers fading to pools of deep
Purple shadows among the trees
Listen to the ocean, echoes of a million seashells
Forever it's in motion
Moving to a rhythmic and unwritten music
That's played eternally
The sound of a seagull's distant cry
His wings like parentheses drawn in the sky
And two white birds clinging like foam
To the crest of a wave rolling by
The silence of noon, the clamour of night
The heat of the day when the fish won't bite
These are the things that remind me of
The day you sailed out of sight
Listen to the ocean, echoes of a million seashells
Forever it's in motion
Moving to a rhythmic and unwritten music
That's played eternally

Madre
Madre
Composer(s): José Luis Armenteros
Performer(s): Raphael
Madre, cuando estas a mi lado
Ya no soy desgraciado ni le temo al dolor
En el silencio de tu muda plegaria
Se que a dios vas pidiendo para mi lo mejor
Madre, cuanto me has enseñado
Cuanto me has perdonado con divina bondad
Sin que yo hablara descubrias mis penas
Y al mirarme a la cara me llenabas de paz
Tu sonriendo, tu perdonando, tu comprendiendo
Lograras que siempre guarde dentro de mi alma
La fe tan grande que me das
¡Ay! madre cuando estas a mi lado
Ya no soy desgraciado ni le temo al dolor
En el silencio de mi muda plegaria
Yo tambien voy pidiendo par ti lo mejor
Madre, ¡ay! madre

Composer(s): Tom Johnston
First release by: The Doobie Brothers - 1972
Covered by multiple other artists
Don't you feel it growin', day by day
People gettin' ready for the news
Some are happy, some are sad
Oh, we got to let the music play
What the people need
Is a way to make 'em smile
It ain't so hard to do if you know how
Gotta get a message
Get it on through
Oh now mama, don't you ask me why
Oh, oh, listen to the music
Oh, oh, listen to the music
Oh, oh, listen to the music
All the time
Well I know, you know better
Everything I say
Meet me in the country for a day
We'll be happy
And we'll dance
Oh, we're gonna dance our blues away
And if I'm feelin' good to you
And you're feelin' good to me
There ain't nothin' we can't do or say
Feelin' good, feeling fine
Oh, baby, let the music play
Oh, oh, listen to the music
Oh, oh, listen to the music
Oh, oh, listen to the music
All the time
Like a lazy flowing river
Surrounding castles in the sky
And the crowd is growing bigger
List'nin' for the happy sounds
And I got to let them fly
Oh, oh, listen to the music
Oh, oh, listen to the music
Oh, oh, listen to the music
All the time

Madones
Madones
Composer(s): Bernard Lavilliers
Performer(s): Bernard Lavilliers
Sur la ligne exacte, entre clair-obscur
A l'heure immédiate, du passé futur
Je marche dans une ville inconnue surveillée par personne
A cette heure précise souffle le désir
Ne me dites rien, encore, laissez-le venir
Je marche dans une ville inconnue surveillée par personne
Je file la beauté disparue et son pas qui résonne
J'ai voyagé si loin pour me voir en dedans
Gagner du temps
Pourrais-je encore partir sans penser à m'enfuir
M'anéantir
Danser avec ma mort sur une place vide
Et donner au plaisir le parfum du suicide
Alors ne pleurez plus, madones
Je n'attends pas qu'on me pardonne
Le soleil éclate entre rouge et noir
Pour le dernier acte, au bord du trottoir
Je marche dans une ville inconnue surveillée par personne
Le soir passé, la nuit tendue, quelque chose déconne
Cassure immédiate, entre clair-obscur
Sur la ligne exacte de ma déchirure
Entre chien et loup, le premier impact
Ne me dites rien, encore, laissez-les se battre
Se battre dans une ville inconnue surveillée par personne
Passé la limite absolue, la police abandonne
Je suis allé très loin pour me voir en dedans
Gagner du temps
Pourrais-je encore partir sans penser à m'enfuir
M'anéantir
Danser avec ma mort sur une place vide
Et donner au plaisir le parfum du suicide
Alors ne pleurez plus, madones
Je n'attends pas qu'on me pardonne
Surtout ne pleurez pas, madones
Je n'attends plus qu'on me pardonne
Je marche dans une ville inconnue surveillée par personne
Je lis sur l'asphalte des rues le secret des madones
Un soir et quelques heures encore à tirer sur l'exil
Filer la beauté disparue qui ne tient qu'à un fil
Le dernier soir, la dernière nuit, pour savoir qu'elle existe
Et donner à l'ange déchu le goût du sacrifice

Listen To The Love
Listen To The Love
Performer(s): Noel Paul Stookey
If you ask me what I want
I'd say yes I want it too
And if you ask me what I think
I'd say yes I think I dooo
But some will say here
Some will say there
Some will sell you tickets to a show
Some will say now
Some will say then
Some will say stay when you know you have to go
Listen to the Love in your heart
Don't you realize you're a special part
You can sing along from the start
If you listen to the Love in your heart
You can bring your horse to water
But he may not drink
You can give a man a book
But you cannot make him think
Some will say do
Some will say don't
Some will put their name up on a door
Some will say how
Some will say why
Some will never get their feet up off the floor
Listen to the Love in your heart
Don't you realize you're a special part
You can sing along from the start
If you listen to the Love in your heart

Madona
((Portuguese Version: Barco Negro (by Amália Rodrigues))
Composer(s): Caco Velho - Carlos Piratininga - Marc Lanjean
Performer(s): Dalida
Vierge de la mer toi qui me tends les bras
Sainte au voile d'or je crois encore en toi
Toi la vierge noir aux mains ganté de lumière
Dis-moi que la mère sera clémente pour moi
Les femmes du port qui guette le ciel lourd
Les femmes aux voiles noir aux ailes de vautour
Ont vu au ciel des morts passer sa barque frivole
Dis-moi que les femmes du port
Sont des folles
Madona, Madona
Ramène dans le port
La voile blanche de mes amours
Réveille dans mon cœur
La foi brûlante des beaux jours
Ramène dans le port
La voile blanche de mes amours
Réveille dans mon cœur
La foi brûlante des beaux jours
Ne me dite pas
Qu'il est trop loin pour m'entendre
Je vois son visage quand je ferme les yeux
Vierge de la mer prend garde à mon chagrin
Si l'orage est plus fort que ton regard divin
Au village on dira que tu n'es pas notre mère
Que tu n'es que statut de bois sans mystère
Madona, pardonne
Ramène dans le port
La voile blanche de mes amours
Réveille dans mon cœur
La foi brûlante des beaux jours
Ramène dans le port
La voile blanche de mes amours
Réveille dans mon cœur
La foi brûlante des beaux jours
Vers toi notre prière... monte
