2nd Thought
2nd Thought
Composer(s): Andy McCluskey
Performer(s): Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark
although the order in our lives
left some time ago
along the way
we are the ones who never cry
like we don't care
today
me at home and you out there
and on your way
it's gone so far and now it seems
it's only me
who cares
I know it helps the times you asked
though never gave
a little hope to set you free
thus you stray
although the order in our lives
left some time ago
we are the ones who never cry
or so we're told
it's gone so far and now it seems
it's only me
me at home and you out there
along the way
me at home and you out there
along the way
me at home and you out there
along the way

29 Ways
29 Ways
Composer(s): Willie Dixon
Performer(s): Willie Dixon;
and various other artists
I got 29 ways to make it to my baby's door
I got 29 ways to make it to my baby's door
And if she needs me bad
I can find about two or three more
I got one through the basement
Two down the hall
And when the going gets tough
I got a hole in the wall
Chorus:
I can come through the chimney like Santa Claus
Go through the window and that ain't all
A lot of good ways I don't want you to know
I even got a hole in the bedroom floor
Chorus
I got a way through the closet behind her clothes
A way through the attic that no one knows
A master key that fits every lock
A hidden door behind the grandfather clock
Chorus

Mandala
Composer(s): Sally Oldfield
Performer(s): Sally Oldfield
Have you seen Jackie?
He's a strange strange strange little girl
Make up on his face and his hair in curls
Have you seen Jackie?
She's a strange strange strange little boy
Her long black beard is her pride and joy
And all the children follow him around
And all the grownups try to drag her down
So we sing
Hey, leave Jackie alone
Hey, his pigeons have flown
Hey, she's never at home at all these days
Leave Jackie alone
Have you seen Jackie?
He's an odd odd odd little fish
To fly around is his only wish
Have you seen Jackie?
She's a queer queer queer little bird
Shy and quiet neither scene nor herd
And all the rats will follow him around
The dogs and cats will chase her from the town
And we sing
Hey, leave Jackie alone
Hey, his mind is all blown
Hey, she's not on the phone at all these days
Leave Jackie alone
Jackie couldn't decide if he was a girl
Or if she was a boy
Have you seen Jackie

1-2-3, oh, that's how elementary it's gonna be

A-B-C (A-B-C) fallin' in love with you was easy for me (easy for me)
And you can do it, too, it's easy (it's so easy)
Like takin' candy (like takin' candy) from a baby
Baby, there's nothin' hard about love
Basically, it's as easy as pie
The hard part is livin' without love
Without your love, baby, I would die
It's easy (it's so easy)
Like takin' candy (like takin' candy) from a baby, yay
One and one are two (one and one are two)
I know you love me and oh,oh, how I love you (how I love you)
Don't try to fight it 'cause it's easy (it's so easy)
Like takin' candy (like takin' candy) from a baby, yay

Manchester Et Liverpool
Manchester Et Liverpool
Composer(s): Eddy Marnay; André Popp
Performer(s): Marie Laforêt; The Peanuts
Manchester et Liverpool
Je me revois flânant le long des rues
Au milieu de cette foule
Parmi ces milliers d'inconnus
Manchester et Liverpool
Je m'en allais dans tous les coins perdus
En cherchant ce bel amour
Que près de toi j'avais connu
Je t'aime, je t'aime
Que j'aime ta voix qui me disait
Je t'aime, je t'aime
Et moi j'y croyais tant et plus
Manchester est devenu triste
Et Liverpool vient pleurer sur la mer
Je ne sais plus si j'existe
Les bateaux blancs craignent l'hiver
Manchester est sous la pluie
Et Liverpool ne se retrouve plus
Dans la brume d'aujourd'hui
L'amour lui aussi s'est perdu
Je t'aime, je t'aime,
J'écoute ta voix qui me disait
Je t'aime, je t'aime
Et je n'y croirais jamais plus

Mañana C'est Carnaval
Composer(s): Maurice Vidalin; Gilbert Bécaud
Performer(s): Gilbert Bécaud
Petit voyou de favela
Enfant des rues de là-bas
Moi j'aime tes concerts
Sur boite de conserve
Mañana, c'est carnaval
Mañana, c'est carnaval
Petite fille de favela
Fille de fille de joie
Tu n'as qu'un seul soulier
Pour aller à la fête
Mañana, c'est carnaval
Mañana, c'est carnaval
Ils m'ont dragué à l'autocar
Dans ce paradis de bazar
Et j'ai perdu deux trois dollars
A une course de cafards
Viva gringo, viva el gringo
C'est moi le gringo
Les enfants ont bien rigolé
Et moi aussi j'ai rigolé
Vous avez faim? On va manger
Le gringo c'est fait pour payer
Viva gringo, viva el gringo
Petits voyous de favela
On a plongé tous les trois
Dans la grande ville folle
Qui peignait ses guignols
Mañana, c'est carnaval
Mañana, c'est carnaval
Pour qu'ils soient très bien déguisés
On a couru le grand marché
Couronnes d'or, capes dorées
Ce qu'ils volaient, je le payais
Viva gringo, viva el gringo
Et puis ils m'ont perdu dans la nuit
Pour remonter dans leur pays
Et faire avec leurs habits
Un royaume dans leur taudis
Viva gringo, viva el gringo
Petits voyous de favela
J'aurai des larmes de joie
Demain au défilé
Vous serez roi et reine...
Mañana, c'est carnaval ...

13 Steps Lead Down
13 Steps Lead Down
Performer(s): Elvis Costello
When nobody knows she puts on secret clothes
And lies in the meadow with her hands tied behind her back
I won't refuse if you know how to use it
Just stop playing that ugly drug music
Chorus:
Thirteen steps lead down
Thirteen steps lead down
There's commoners and kings
And everyone's a prisoner of
Paper and glue
And a decent pair of scissors
So tonight I'm drinking to your health
Because I just can't stand myself
Thirteen steps lead down
Thirteen steps lead down
Thirteen steps lead down
Thirteen steps lead down
She stands and fails
On fashion fingernails
Her lovers have her walking 'round
On instruments of torture
And one of them is poisonous
The other is a thief they say
So what one could give to her
The other cannot take away
When nobody knows she puts on secret clothes
And lies in her splendour for a picture opportunity
Cover up that bruise, put on patent leather shoes
Just stop playing that bad mood music
Chorus
Thirteen steps lead down
Thirteen steps lead down
Thirteen steps lead down
Thirteen steps lead down

'n' you can see him ev'ry weekend
with a car full of kids and snow cones
And the people 'cross town don't know his name
But on Franklin Pike Circle he's king
1432 Franklin Pike Circle Hero
Well, at five thirty-five at the corner of Franklin and Walnut
A blue station wagon comes slidin' around the corner
And on down Franklin Pike Circle all you're seein' is a streak of blue
And pulls in the drive at the address of 1432
And he says "My head aches and my back hurts and I don't feel like talkin'"
"Don't wan' go the show to see Doctor Zhivago"
"Don't wanna take the dog out walkin'"
"I wanna sit right here in this easy chair, it's been a jungle all day, you know"
The 1432 Franklin Pike Circle Hero is home
He was out pitching ball with the kids in the neighborhood yesterday
And the ole major-leaguer had to quit 'cause he said he threw his arm away
And the kids all hid behind the hedge and laughed at him but wouldn't let it show
Because they love him so
He's the 1432 Franklin Pike Circle Hero
He's the 1432 Franklin Pike Circle Hero
'n' you can see him ev'ry weekend with a car full of kids and snow cones
An', ya know, people 'cross town don't know his name
But on Franklin Pike Circle he's king
1432 Franklin Pike Circle Hero
Well, he won a little pony at the Hill High auction just the other day
And he di'n't mean to do it and he wanted to give the pony away
a-When they called out his name he tried not to claim it
But the kids started cryin' 'cause they'd already named it
And who's up ev'ry Saturday morning?
Saddling his new toy? You guessed it
The 1432 Franklin Pike Circle Cowboy
He's the 1432 Franklin Pike Circle Hero
'n' you can see him ev'ry weekend with a car full of kids and snow cones
Durin' Christmas took the kids down to see the floats
When he wanted t'stay home and watch the Baltimore Colts
1432 Franklin Pike Circle Hero
Well the ten-thirty news usually finds our hero is a sleepy head
And Peter's out somewhere wreckin' the car
And the rest 'the kids have gone to bed
So she takes his hand, they climb the stairs and he falls asleep
And she bends over him so tenderly to kiss his cheek
'cause she loves him so, and she's lucky, you know?
To be married to the 1432
1432 Franklin Pike Circle Hero
He's the 1432 Franklin Pike Circle Hero
'n' you can see him ev'ry weekend with a car full of kids and snow cones

Christmas time he took 'em down to see the floats

Performer(s): Javier Solís
Mañana, cuando ya estés lejos
cuando ya estés sola, me recordarás
tus labios ansiarán mis besos
tus ojos por mí llorarán
Mañana en tu pensamiento

de que vuelva de nuevo a ti
Mañana, cuando ya esté lejos
cuando ya estés sola me recordarás
entonces sólo una palabra
que mis labios digan
hará que regreses amándome más
Mañana en tu pensamiento
reinará el deseo
de que vuelva de nuevo a ti
Mañana, cuando ya esté lejos
cuando ya estés sola me recordarás
entonces sólo una palabra
que mis labios digan
hará que regreses amándome más

15 Minutes Of Fame
15 Minutes Of Fame
Composer(s): Randy Bachman
Performer(s): Randy Bachman
They all go to London
Just to play the game
They try to be different
Cuz they just can't be the same
They change their hair their sex
Their makeup and their name
They give the people what they want
So no one is to blame
(chorus)
They just want 15 minutes
15 minutes of fame
Can't play much music
But they make a lotta noise
They hang in the right places
Trying to be one of the boys
Spend all their money on their habits and their toys
Creative spending of record advances
That's how they get their joys
(chorus)
(chorus)
If you go to London
You're sure to see the sight
A half a million people
Trying to make it overnight
They want their 15 minutes
They want their 15 minutes
And they'll get their 15 minutes
15 minutes of fame
Just being outrageous seems to be teir game
Make headlines in the music press again and again
London is the launching pad for their name
And pretty soon they're number one in the U S of A
They got their 15 minutes
They got their 15 minutes
They got their 15 minutes of fame
15 minutes of fame
15 minutes of fame

Managua, Nicaragua
Managua, Nicaragua
Composer(s): Albert Gamse; Irving Fields
Performer(s): Guy Lombardo
and various other artists
Managua, Nicaragua is a beautiful town
You buy a hacienda for a few pesos down
You give it to the lady you are tryin' to win
But her papa doesn't let you come in
Managua, Nicaragua is a heavenly place
You ask a señorita for a 'leetle' embrace
She answers you, "Caramba! scram-ba bambarito"
In Managua, Nicaragua, that's "No"
I have been to many tropic ports
I might include even Brooklyn
If you're ever feelin' out of sorts
I'd like to recommend a look in...
Managua, Nicaragua, what a wonderful spot
There's coffee and bananas and a temperature hot
So take a trip and on a ship go sailing away
Across the agua to Managua, Nicaragua, olé
Olé, olé
Across the agua to Managua, Nicaragua, olé
Managua, Nicaragua is a beautiful town
You buy a hosienda for a few pesos down
You give it to the lady you are tryin' to win
But her papa doesn't let you come in
Managua, Nicaragua is a heavenly place
You ask a señorita for a 'leetle' embrace
She answers you, "Caramba! scram-ba bambarito"
In Managua, Nicaragua, that's "No"
Every day is made for play and fun
'Cause every day is fiesta
And they work from twelve o'clock to one
Minus an hour for siesta
Managua, Nicaragua, what a wonderful spot
There's coffee and bananas and a temperature hot
So take a trip and on a ship go sailing away
Across the agua to Managua, Nicaragua, olé
Olé, olé
Across the agua to Managua, Nicaragua, olé

15 Times
Performer(s): Gilbert O'Sullivan
Move along, move along, move along
Said the man with the uniform on
Get away, get away, get away
Said the goldfish to the whale
Oh what have I done now
And the goldfish replied you fool
You're too big for me
And I'm too yellow for you
Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up
Said the greyhound to her pup
What a life, what a life, what a life
Said the husband to his wife
Oh Where did we go wrong
And the husband to put it crude
Said you're no fun anymore
And I'm fed up with
You and me and baby makes

8, 9, 10 and 11
12, 13, 14, 15 times 44 is 660!
And again, and again, and again
Said the masochist to his friend
What a cheek, what a cheek, what a cheek
Said the hen to the Portuguese
Oh what have we done wrong
And the hen replied you fools
You're too many for me
And I'm too chicken for
You and me and baby makes
3, 4, 5, 6, 7
8, 9, 10 and 11

Man With Money
Composer(s): Don Everly; Phil Everly
Originally performed by: The Everly Brothers
Covered by various other artists
She wants a man with lots of money, and I'm a poor boy
He buys her things, she calls him honey, she calls me poor boy
What good does it do to give her love good and true?
When any fool would understand
She thinks money makes a man
She wants a man with lots of money, and I'm a poor boy
She wants the things you buy with money and not a poor boy
Man with money
Man with money
Man with money
Just down the street, I know a place
When they're asleep, I'll cover my face
I'll break the lock, open the door
I'll slip inside, I'll rob the store
Then I'll be a man with lots of money and not a poor boy
I'll buy her things, she'll call me honey and not a poor boy

157 Riverside Avenue
Composer(s): Neal Doughty
Performer(s): R.E.O. Speedwagon
We flew into town on Sunday
had to find a place by Monday
Tried Bridgeport and Westport
'til we found a place that we thought would do
157 Riverside Avenue
Saugatuck river's flowin', mother nature's colors were showin'
So cold, so rainy, we couldn't help feelin' blue
Not enough time, too many things to do
We met a young girl on Main Street, wanted to just pass her by
She was homely, so lonely, she said, "can I make love to you"
We shouted 157 Riverside Avenue
It's over, miss Lena, we're leaving
Such a pleasant stay, I must say
So nice, so easy, we hate to say goodbye to you
At 157 Riverside Avenue

Män Utan Kvinnor
Composer(s): Ulf Lundell
Performer(s): Ulf Lundell
Vi är män utan kvinnor
Vi är på drift i världen
Vi är allas och ingens vän
och vi dricker ibland
och vi längtar efter nånting
att dö för
Vi längtar efter godsen
Vi längtar efter familjerna
Vi längtar efter mening
här i världen
Vi är män utan kvinnor
Vi sa ett sista ord
och vi ljuger ibland
men vi håller vad vi lovar
Vi är riddare i en värld av
väderkvarnar
Vi skall aldrig mer gå ner oss
Var och en av oss är hövding nu
Om en av oss faller
tar en annan hans plats
Och stolta skall vi stiga fram
som örnar och som kungar
Och vi skyller inte från oss
lika lite som vi ber om ursäkt
Vi är män utan kvinnor
Vi vill riva Maya-slöjan
Vi vill se bakom viljan
Vi hör bergen till och stigarna
och havet
Vi ska finna vad vi söker
ibland kvinnor utan män
Vi kan aldrig nå varann
men vi är invigda i samma hemlighet
Män utan kvinnor

Faut pas jouer les loubards
Pas casser les portes
Pas rêver qu'un blouson noir
Décupler les forces
Si j'pouvais m'arrêter là
Passer mes gants et mes bras
Autour de son cou fragile
Et rêver que c'est facile
Et rêver que c'est facile
Frappe du gauche! frappe des mains
Avance toujours! avance!
Fais gaffe au contre! serre bien les poings!
Avance toujours! avance!
Rentre le tête! ton crochet droit!
Avance toujours! avance!
T'es un ringard! t'as pas de souffle!
Avance toujours! avance!
T'es pas mobile! et t'es trop lourd!
Avance toujours! avance!
Les coups sonnent! on aime ça!
Avance toujours! avance!
T'es trop vieux et c'est la dernière fois
Qu't'avances toujours! qu't'avances!
J'aimerais revoir ma mère, v'là mon grand qui rentre
Tout petit en plein hiver au chaud dans son ventre
Un petit jardin discret des soucis et des pensées
Tout un monde simplifié et des yeux pour vérifier
Tout un monde simplifié et des yeux pour vérifier
C'est souvent dur à porter toute la violence
Tu peux pas te raconter faire des confidences
Une fois qu'il est sectionné le cordon vital
Tu comprends qu'il faut miser sur tes initiales
Tu comprends qu'il faut miser sur tes initiales
J'ai mal aux mains, j'ai mal aux os
J'avance toujours! j'avance!
J'relève mes poings, j'fais le gros dos
J'avance toujours! j'avance!
Je touche trente sacs pour ce boulot
J'avance toujours! j'avance!
Si j'dormais plus, j'aurais l'tempo
J'avance toujours! j'avance!
Je l'ai touché! ça coule à flot!
J'avance toujours! j'avance!
Il y a du sang plein les carreaux
J'avance toujours! j'avance!
Je vais l'finir! j'aurai sa peau!
J'avance toujours! j'avance!
Crochet au foie! j'suis dans l'sirop!
Je suis un fou, un paumé, j'ai les mains qui tremblent
Je veux bien t'imaginer, une vie ensemble
Je vais rentrer à l'hôtel dans la jungle des poubelles
En passant près du métro j'appellerai son numéro
En passant près du métro j'appellerai son numéro
Mon poids mort sur son divan j'ai le corps qui vibre
Une marée en dedans qui perd l'équilibre
J'ai envie de faire l'amour lentement et en plein jour
Dans une chambre chauffée, habitée, ensoleillé!
Dans une chambre chauffée, habitée, ensoleillé!
Faut pas jouer les loubards
Pas casser les portes
Pas rêver qu'un blouson noir
Décupler les forces
Si j'pouvais m'arrêter là
Passer les gants et mes bras
Autour de son cou fragile
Et rêver que c'est facile
Et rêver que c'est facile

and various other artists
I say let us put man and a woman together
To find out which one is smarter
Some say man but I say no
The woman got the man de day should know
And not me but the people they say
That de man are leading de women astray
But I say, that the women of today
Smarter than the man in every way
That’s right de woman is uh smarter
That’s right de woman is uh smarter
That’s right de woman is uh smarter, that’s right, that’s right
Ever since the world began
Woman was always teaching man
And I you listen to my bid attentively
I goin’ tell you how she smarter than me
Samson was the strongest man long ago
No one could a beat him, as we all know
Until he clash with Deliah on top of the bed
She told them all the strength was in the hair of his head
You meet a girl at a pretty dance
Thinking that you would stand a chance
Take her home, thinking she’s alone
Open de door you find her husband home
I was treating a girl independently
She was making baby for me
When de baby born and I went to see
Eyes was blue it was not by me
Garden of Eden was very nice
Adam never work in Paradise
Eve meet snake, Paradise gone
She make Adam work from that day on
Methusaleh spent all his life in tears
Lived without a woman for 900 years
One day he decided to have some fun
The poor man never lived to see 900 and one
