Mutual Admiration Society


Mutual Admiration Society
Composer(s): Matt Dubey; Harold Karr
Performer(s): Jaye P. Morgan
and various other artists



We belong to a Mutual Admiration Society
My baby and me
We belong to a Mutual Admiration Society

I think he's handsome and he's smart
I thinks that she's a work of art
I say that he's the greatest man
And likewise I'm her biggest fan
I say her kisses are like wine
His kiss is just is good as mine
And that's the way we pass the time of day
My baby and me
We belong to a Mutual Admiration Society

I say now you're the sweetest one
I say, no you're the sweetest one
She claims that I'm a natural wit
He says it's just the opposite
The only fighting that we do is
Just who loves who more than who
And we go on like that from night til dawn
My baby and me
Oh, we belong to a Mutual Admiration Society

Now I do not exaggerate
I think she's nothing short of great
I say that kind of flattery
Will get you any place with me
The way we carry on it tends
To just embarass all our friends
And that is how we'll still be years from now
My baby and me
We belong to a Mutual Admiration Society
My baby and me
We belong to a Mutual Admiration Society
My baby and me

Golden Ring


Golden Ring
Composer(s): Bobby Braddock; Rafe Van Hoy
Performer(s): Tammy Wynette;
and various other artists



In a pawn shop in Chicago
On a sunny summer day
A couple gazes at the wedding rings
There on display
She smiles and nods her head
As he says: "Honey that's for you
"It's not much, but it's the best
"That I can do"

Golden ring, (Golden ring)
With one tiny little stone
Waiting there, (Waiting there)
For someone to take to you home
By itself, (By itself)
It's just a cold metallic thing
Only love can make a golden wedding ring

In a little wedding chapel
Later on that afternoon
An old upright piano
Plays that old familiar tune
Tears roll down her cheeks
And happy thoughts run through her head
As he whispers low
"With this ring, I thee wed"

Golden ring, (Golden ring)
With one tiny little stone
Waiting there, (Waiting there)
For someone to take to you home
By itself, (By itself)
It's just a cold metallic thing
Only love can make a golden wedding ring

In a small two room apartment
As they fought their final round
He says: "You won't admit it
"But I know you're leavin' town"
She says: "One thing's for certain
"I don't love you any more"
And throws down the ring
As she walks out the door

Golden ring, (Golden ring)
With one tiny little stone
Waiting there, (Waiting there)
For someone to take to you home
By itself, (By itself)
It's just a cold metallic thing
Only love can make a golden wedding ring

In a pawn shop in Chicago
On a sunny summer day
A couple gazes at the wedding rings
There on display

Paper Heart


Paper Heart
((French Version: C'est Un Coeur De Papier (Joe Dassin))
Composer(s): T. Pobers - Joe Dassin - Jean-Michel Rivat
Performer(s): Joe Dassin



You got a paper heart
You're in a cardboard world
Baby, your paper heart
Makes you a nowhere girl

Paper heart, paper heart…

Each day the wind that blows
Changes the way you feel
You got a paper heart
Baby, you're so unreal

Paper heart, paper heart…

You laugh when I cry
You dance when I'm blue…
So baby good-bye
This time went through

One day you'll play with fire
And burn 'ere your paper heart
Leavin' me only ashes
Ashes of your paper heart

Paper heart, paper heart…

Golden Ribbons


Golden Ribbons
Composer(s): Kenny Loggins; Jim Messina
Performer(s): Loggins & Messina



Listen to the people crying
Hoping for the day they'll be free
I don’t have to tell you we're (they're) dieing
Just wake up, take a look, what do You see?
I see young men my own age in coffins
And mothers in tears for their sons*
And sweethearts and wives
Alone with their memories
And golden ribbon’s those fortunes of war
Thousands and thousands
Shall gather together
To seek and find the Way we all need
And the son will bring (backhanded glory) us together
Hallelujah
and rid ourselves of the pain we all see
We see young men our own age in coffins
And Mothers in tears for their sons
And Sweetheart’s and wives
Alone with their memories
And golden ribbon’s those fortunes of war
What does it to avail a man
To gain fortune
And lose his soul?

Tausend Rosarote Pfeile


Tausend Rosarote Pfeile
Performer(s): Caterina Valente



Weißt du schon, was man fühlt
wenn da jemand auf dich ziehlt?
Und man ahnt schon irgendwie
wenn er dich trifft, hast du verspielt
Weißt du auch wie das ist
wenn da jemand auf dich schießt?
Na, das sind vielleicht Momente
die man nicht so schnell vergißt

Der da schießt, ist als Amor bekannt
und wenn er seinen Bogen mal spannt
dann fliegt ein Pfeil durch die Luft
so ein Pfeil durch die Luft
1000 rosarote Pfeile schießt er durch die blaue Nacht
und du solltest einmal hören
wenn er trifft, wie er dann lacht
1000 rosarote Pfeile schießt er, und wir halten still
weil ja schließlich jeder von uns mal getroffen werden will

Er schießt kreuz, er schießt quer
hat er keine Pfeile mehr
nimmt er einfach seinen Bogen
und wirft ihn noch hinterher
Er visiert jeden an
und man weiß nicht einmal wann
Er schafft's immer, daß am Ende
man noch happy enden kann

Der da schießt, ist als Amor bekannt
und wenn er seinen Bogen mal spannt
dann fliegt ein Pfeil durch die Luft
so ein Pfeil durch die Luft
1000 rosarote Pfeile schießt er durch die blaue Nacht
und du solltest einmal hören, wenn er trifft, wie er dann lacht
1000 rosarote Pfeile schießt er, und wir halten still
weil ja schließlich jeder von uns mal getroffen werden will

Vor dem Trick sei hier nochmals gewarnt
manchmal steht er als Denkmal getarnt
dann fliegt ein Pfeil durch die Luft
so ein Pfeil durch die Luft
1000 rosarote Pfeile schießt er durch die blaue Nacht
und du solltest einmal hören, wenn er trifft, wie er dann lacht
1000 rosarote Pfeile sind die Garantie dafür
daß ihr alle so verliebt seit, so verliebt genau wie wir
1000 rosarote Pfeile schießt er, und wir halten still
weil ja schließlich jeder von uns mal getroffen werden will

Mutiny In The Nursery


Mutiny In The Nursery
Composer(s): Johnny Mercer
Performer(s): Paul Whiteman
and various other artists



There's mutiny in the nursery
There's mutiny in the nursery
Mother Goose is on the loose
Her kids are swingin' out

There's mutiny in the nursery
And music in the nursery
Mother Goose is on the loose
You ought to hear them shout

If you could see miss Jenny Jones, Jenny Jones, Jenny Jones
If you could see miss Jenny Jones you'd find her swinging lightly
And lately Mary won't get up, she won't get up, she won't get up
She stays out too late nightly

Oats, peas, beans and barley grow
Oats, peas, beans and barley grow
You and I and everyone knows how
Oats, peas, beans and barley grow

Oats, peas, beans and barley grow
How they do it, I don't know
But if you hand me my horn
I promise I won't blow no corn

Little Bo Peep has lost her sheep but she knows just where to find them
For they all stand around the bend waggin' their tails behind them

One little, two little, three little jittterbugs
Four little, five little, six little jittterbugs
Seven little, eight little, nine little jittterbugs
Ten little jitterbug boys
Ten, nine, eight little jitterbugs
Seven, six, five little jitterbugs
Four, three, two little jitterbugs
One little jitterbug girl

Mutiny, mutiny, must have mutiny
Mutiny, mutiny, must have mutiny
Swing out, kids, swing out

There was mutiny in the nursery when they all got loose
They began to yell for old Mother Goose

Get on down, all together
Get on down, take a gander
Get on down, struck on home
Don't miss the jamboree

Mutiny, mutiny, must have mutiny...
In the nursery!

Golden Opportunity


Golden Opportunity
Composer(s): Kenny Lee Lewis; Gary Mallaber
Performer(s): Steve Miller Band



Watching the hands strike midnight
Reading the writing on the wall
Just in time to chase your dream
You got a chance to make it
You got a chance to take it all
Don't let it slip through your fingers

Runnin', hide'n
Slippin', slide'n
Wastin' time
You been there before

Go, go
It's a golden opportunity
Go, go
It's a golden opportunity
Go, go
It's a golden opportunity

You got a hometown sweetheart
She's got love that won't stop
She's so satisfied to be right by your side
And if you both believe it
You know you can achieve it all
Don't let it slip through your fingers

Runnin', hide'n
Slippin', slide'n
Wastin' time
I've been there before

Go, go
It's a golden opportunity
Go, go
It's a golden opportunity
Go, go
It's a golden opportunity
Go, go
It's a golden opportunity
Go, go
It's a golden opportunity
Go, go
It's a golden opportunity

Tatuaje Falso
Composer(s): Fito Páez
Performer(s): Fito Páez



Napoleon y su tremendamente emperatriz
Los Shocklender, Noy y sus ojos
y un animal que esta aprendiendo a sangrar
beben mas y pasaran al cuarto de salida

Maldición lo que perdemos
lo volvemos a amar
Rita Baila en Rosario Norte
y los muchacho quieren verla bailar
para que salir de aquí
si tengo mi par de ligas
y el mundo se esfuma
y este amor no es de verdad
siguen comiendo la luna
los hombres de Alcatraz

Golden Oldies


Golden Oldies
Composer(s): Alan Hull
Performer(s): Alan Hull; Lindisfarne



Do you remember back in 64
when Johnny Lennon opened every door
and Bobby Dylan sung a song for you
there was nothing better to do

And it was easy to say I love you
the melody was clean and true
and in the morning it did not deserve to you
you could still recall another two

Chorus:
Tell me where are my golden oldies
I wonder what went wrong
tell me where are my golden oldies
I wonder what happened to your song

I suppose we have to carry on
the world is waiting for another song
and in the meantime what has been and done
sure was a whole lot of fun

Chorus:
Tell me where are my golden oldies
I wonder what went wrong
tell me where are my golden oldies
I wonder what happened to your song

Chorus: repeat 3 x

Tatuagem


Tatuagem
Composer(s): Chico Buarque
Performer(s): Chico Buarque
and multiple other artists



Quero ficar no teu corpo feito tatuagem
Que é pra te dar coragem
Pra seguir viagem
Quando a noite vem
E também pra me perpetuar em tua escrava
Que você pega, esfrega, nega
Mas não lava

Quero brincar no teu corpo feito bailarina
Que logo se alucina
Salta e te ilumina
Quando a noite vem
E nos músculos exaustos do teu braço
Repousar frouxa, murcha, farta
Morta de cansaço

Quero pesar feito cruz nas tuas coisas
Que te retalha em postas
Mas no fundo gostas
Quando a noite vem
Quer ser a cicatriz risonha e corrosiva
Marcada a frio, a ferro e fogo
Em carne viva

Corações de mãe
Arpões, sereias e serpentes
Que te rabiscam o corpo todo
Mas não sentes

Mustapha (Corry Brokken)


Mustapha
Performer(s): Corry Brokken



Onder de manen schijnende platanen
Wil ik jouw Sultan zijn, wees jij dan mijn Sultane
Wat kunnen jou goud en juwelen schelen?
In de Sahara kun je spelen met kamelen

Dat zegt m'n vriendje, Mustapha
Hij meent het goed de snoes, maar ja
Hij is van origine een Arabier
Dat bier is best, maar 'k blijf toch liever hier

Hele kisten vijgen heb ik in depot
Alles kan je krijgen, alles geef ik je cadeau
Als je maar van mij wilt houen, en terzijnertijd wilt trouwen
Gaan we een oase bouwen, en een Arabiertje brouwen

Dat zegt m'n vriendje, Mustapha
Hij meent het goed de snoes, maar ja
Hij is van origine een Arabier
Dat bier is best, maar 'k blijf toch liever hier

Wat moet je in dit kouwe kikkerland?
In de Sahara heb je enkel zon en zand
Wat moet je in zo'n zebrapadenstad?
Wij hebben echte zebra's en geen paden, schat

Onder de manen schijnende platanen
Wil ik jouw Sultan zijn, wees jij dan mijn Sultane
Hier is een ring, een dure, dus bewaar hem
In 't laatje links van de penantkast, in de harem

Dat zegt m'n vriendje, Mustapha
Hij meent het goed de snoes, maar ja
Hij is van origine een Arabier
Dat bier is best, maar 'k blijf toch liever hier

En wil je uit, dan zeg je "lieve man,
Kom doe je tulband en je beste kaftan aan"
Dan nemen wij de vroege karavaan
En komen 's avonds laat bij onze buren aan

Onder de manen schijnende platanen
Wil ik jouw Sultan zijn, wees jij dan mijn Sultane
'k Heb 16 vrouwen thuis, da's aardig veel ja
Maar jij wordt 17de, jij wordt hun akela

Dat zegt mijn vriendje, Mustapha
Hij meent het goed de snoes, maar ja
't Is best een nette en correcte vent
Maar vriend, hij heeft geen centje temperament

Golden Feather


Golden Feather
Composer(s): Robbie Robertson
Performer(s): Robbie Robertson;
Luka Bloom; Michel Montecrossa



I think I'm going back to Shenandoah
she said that she'd meet me by the fork in the road
I jump start my old Ford
I'm heading for the pow-wow
follow red path that leads to you

I gave my love a golden feather
I gave my love a heart of stone
and when you find a golden feather
it means you'll never lose your way back home

Should I paint my face
should I pierce my skin
does this make me a pagan
sweating out my sins
we ate the sacred mushroom
and waded in the water
howling like coyotes
at the naked moon

I gave my love a golden feather
I gave my love a heart of stone
and when you find a golden feather
it means you'll never lose your way back home

In the autumn night
when there's no wind blowin'
I could hear the stars falling in the dark
when you find what's worth keeping
with a breath of kindness
blow the rest away

I gave my love a golden feather
I gave my love a heart of stone
and when you find a golden feather
it means you'll never lose your way back home

Tattooed Millionaire


Tattooed Millionaire
Composer(s): Bruce Dickinson - Janick Gers
Performer(s): Bruce Dickinson



Tattooed boys with expensive toys
Living in a bubble of sin
Money can buy you most of anything
Fix your nose or the mess you're in

Front page news, you can share your views
With a population that wants to be like you
Out on the strip, out on the tiles
Same old greed behind the P.R. smiles

You and all your entourage, to me you're all the same
You and all your entourage, playing foolish games

I don't want your big city shining

I don't want your silver lining

I don't wanna be a tattooed millionaire
He's got a wife, she ain't no brain child
Ex mud Queen of Miami
In his stretch Cadillac, he keeps her in the back
With a CD player and his bottle of Jack

L.A. dudes, L.A. attitude
Laid back selfish and getting fat
Bodyguards, porn stars, gold credit cards
Using each other, running for cover

You and all your entourage, to me you're all the same
You and all your entourage, playing foolish games

I don't want your big city shining

I don't want your silver lining

I don't wanna be a tattooed millionaire

Golden Earrings


Golden Earrings
Composer(s): Victor Young; Jay Livingston; Ray Evans
Performer(s): Peggy Lee;
and various other artists



There's a story the gypsies know is true
That when your love wears golden earrings
She (he) belongs to you
An old love story that's known to very few
But if you wear those golden earrings
Love will come to you
By the burning fire, they will glow with ev'ry coal
You will hear desire whisper low inside your soul
So be my gypsy
Make love your guiding light
And let that pair of golden earrings
Cast their spell tonight

Tattoo


Tattoo
Composer(s): Pete Townshend
First release by: The Who - 1967
Covered by multiple other artists



Me and my brother were talking to each other
'Bout what makes a man a man
Was it brain or brawn, or the month you were born
We just couldn't understand

Our old man didn't like our appearance
He said that only women wear long hair

So me and my brother borrowed money from Mother
We knew what we had to do
We went downstairs, past the barber and gymnasium
And got our arms tattooed

Welcome to my life, tattoo
I'm a man now, thanks to you
I expect I'll regret you
But the skin graft man won't get you
You'l be there when I die
Tattoo

My dad beat me 'cause mine said "Mother"
But my mother naturally liked it and beat my brother
'Cause his tattoo was of a lady in the nude
And my mother thought that was extremely rude

Welcome to my life, tattoo
We've a long time together, me and you
I expect I'll regret you
But the skin graft man won't get you
You'll be there when I die
Tattoo

Now I'm older, I'm tattooed all over
My wife is tattooed too
A rooty-toot-toot, rooty-tooty-toot-toot
Rooty-toot-toot tattoo too
To you

Got to put your flat feet on the ground

Golden Days


Golden Days
Composer(s): Sigmund Romberg; Dorothy Donnelly
Performer(s): Nelson Eddy;
and various other artists



Down where the Neckar flows swiftly along
Nestles a town that is famous in song
Laughing lads roam through its streets so quaint
No one’s a sinner, much less a saint
Twilight comes stealing and moonlight shines down
Painting with silver old Heidelberg Town
Hark how the echoes are ringing; with their song!
Laughing, they circle their glasses
All night long

Golden days in the sunshine of our happy youth
Golden days, full of innocence and full of truth
In our hearts we remember them all else above
Golden days, days of youth and love

How we laughed with a gaiety that had no sting
Looking back through memory’s haze
We will know life has nothing sweeter than its springtime
Golden days, when we’re young, Golden days
