My Brother Jake


My Brother Jake
Composer(s): Andy Fraser; Paul Rodgers
Performer(s): Free; Thunder



My brother Jake
hat, shades
head in a daze
My brother Jake
have you though about
changin' your ways?

He goes out
he don't have no doubt
he don't have to know
what the world's about

My brother Jake
head, down
it's a scrapin' the ground
Jake, stay away
you know you can always be down

He goes out
he don't have no doubt
he don't have to know
what the world's about

I said Jake
now won't you wait
what's got into you
your candle is burning
the wheels are turning
what you gonna do?

My brother Jake
wont you start again
try makin' some friends
Jake, it's not too late
to start again, by making amends

He goes out
he don't have no doubt
he don't have to know
what the world's about

I said Jake
now won't you wait
what's gone wrong with you
your candle is burning
the wheels are turning
what you gonna do?

I said Jake
don't you wait
what's gone wrong with you
your candle is burning
the wheels of time are turning
uh! What you gonna do?

I said Jake, Jake, Jake
don't you wait, wait, wait
what's got into you
your candle is burning
the wheels of time are turning
uh! What you gonna do?

Listen, I'm gonna break you Jake
because you got what it takes
to give a whole lotta people
some.......soul

Gonna Type A Letter


Gonna Type A Letter
Composer(s): Billy Fury; Smokey Robinson
Performer(s): Sunny Domestozs



I'm a-gonna type a letter to you
Bye-bye-bye-bye, Baby we're through
Well, on every date you teased me so
I can't take it no more, I'm a-gonna go
Gonna go, Honey I'm a-gonna go

Every word in black and white
Baby, you know you didn't treat me right
Through the alphabet A to Z
Baby you were wrong to me
Wrong to me, baby you were wrong to me

I'm a-gonna leave you high and dry
You made a-me lonesome, you made a-me cry
Ain't a-gonna kiss you
Ain't gonna miss you, goodbye!

I don't type much, but I guess it will do
Baby, you made a-me cry for you
I don't type much, but I'll give it my way
Baby I'm a-going far away
Far away, far away, a-Baby going far away

I'm a-gonna leave you high and dry
You made a-me lonesome, you made a-me cry
Ain't a-gonna kiss you
Ain't gonna miss you, goodbye!

I'm a-gonna leave this very day
Well, Honey I'm a-going far away
You messed a-me 'round and you made a-me sore
Oh Baby, I don't a-care no more
Don't a-care, don't a-care
Baby, don't a-care no more
Don't a-care, don't a-care
Baby, don't a-care no more!

Te Necesito (Javier Solís)


Te Necesito
Composer(s): Luis Demetrio
Performer(s): Javier Solís



Te necesito como las rosas necesitan del rocío
te necesito como la luna necesita de la noche
te necesito como la noche necesita a las estrellas
y ellas para ser más bellas necesitan de su cielo

Te necesito como las aves necesitan de su nido
Te necesito como si fuera un huerfanito ya perdido
Soy como un barco que en la espesura de la niebla no ve un faro
y por eso es que te grito y te repito que yo a ti te necesito

Te necesito como las aves necesitan de su nido
Te necesito como si fuera un huerfanito ya perdido
Soy como un barco que en la espesura de la niebla no ve un faro
y por eso es que te grito y te repito que yo a ti te necesito

Gonna Take A Lot Of River


Gonna Take A Lot Of River
(Mississippi, Monongahela, Ohio)
Composer(s): Mark Henley; John Kurhajetz
Performer(s): The Oak Ridge Boys



I ain't gonna ride no rail or hitchhike down no highway
I aint' going nowhere feeling the way I do
Because my baby's long gone and nothing's going my way
I'm gonna let this muddy water just wash away my blues

Gonna take a lot of river to keep this broken heart afloat
Gonna take a lot of river, running all the live long days
Gonna take the Mississippi, the Monongahela and the Ohio
Gonna take a lot of river to wash these blues away

Well, I wish I was a tug boat pushing and pulling them barges along
Moving on the water with a heart made of iron and steel
There wouldn't be no women that could ever take my loving and do me wrong
I could work all day with nothing in the world to feel

Gonna take a lot of river to keep this broken heart afloat
Gonna take a lot of river, running all the live long days
Gonna take the Mississippi, the Monongahela and the Ohio
Gonna take a lot of river to wash these blues away

Is she in New Orleans, is she a cajun queen
I wonder what she's doing now
But if I know her, she's got rings and furs
Struggling along somehow

Gonna take a lot of river to keep this broken heart afloat
Gonna take a lot of river, running all the live long days
Gonna take the Mississippi, the Monongahela and the Ohio
Gonna take a lot of river to wash these blues away

Gonna take a lot of river to keep this broken heart afloat
Gonna take a lot of river, running all the live long days
Gonna take the Mississippi, the Monongahela and the Ohio
Gonna take a lot of river to wash these blues away

Te Hablo


Te Hablo
Composer(s): Adrian Abonizio
Performer(s): Juan Carlos Baglietto



Te hablo desde el corazón
yo se lo que es vivir en las tinieblas
parece que el alma se queda
sin salir a escena
Te hablo desde mas aca
sigo buscando lo imposible
hacer que la vida sea vivible
y no engañar

Habra pasado mucho tiempo largo
habra quedado tanto en el costado
habra llegado un tiempo tan distinto
seguro te habras enamorado
Si esto es la vida
no se que hacer para que creas
te han confinado te han lastimado con mentiras
no puedo prometerte nada
no puedo decirte nada
mas que vivas

Te hablo desde el corazón
no vale ya vivir arrepentido
no hay deudas posibles, ni culpas
te matan pero te dejan vivo
Habra pasado …
Si esto es la v ida …
mas que vivas
mas que sigas
mas que vivas
mas que sigas

Te Estoy Queriendo Tanto
Composer(s): Manuel Alejandro - Ana Magdalena
First release by: Raphael - 1972
Covered by multiple other artists



Te estoy queriendo tanto que
Te estoy acostumbrando mal
Te estoy queriendo tanto que
No puedo ya quererte más
Qué pasará ese día que
No sienta como siento hoy
Qué pasará ese día que
No te de lo que hoy te doy
Te estoy queriendo tanto que
Ya nunca pienso más en mí
Te estoy queriendo tanto que
Soy muy feliz si estás feliz
Los días y las noches son
Para quererte más y más
Te estoy queriendo tanto que
Te estoy acostumbrando mal
Y es que el amor no puede estar
Por siempre a nuestro lado
Y es que el amor puede cambiar
Su rumbo de año en año
Y es que el amor es algo que
Viene y se va como las golondrinas
Y hay que darle de beber
En cada esquina amor

Gonna Make You An Offer You Can't Refuse


Gonna Make You An Offer You Can't Refuse
Composer(s): Johnny Worth
Performer(s): Jimmy Helms; The Gentle Rain



Gonna make you an offer you can't refuse
Gonna put my finger on you
'Cause I need you so
And I won't take no for an answer

In my life I've had a time
Had to fight for what was mine
And I don't intend to lose my crown

But every time I look at you
And the beautiful things you do
Every single nerve in my body says hold it down
So now I'm putting about the feeble word like what must be must be
Didn't you know that you belonged to me

Gonna make you an offer you can't refuse
Like a puppet thing, when I pull the string
You're the dancer
Gonna make you an offer you can't refuse
Gonna put my finger on you
'Cause I need you so
And I won't take no for an answer

Did you ever sit waiting, hoping, wanting something that never was going to be

I've got a feeling deep inside
That I need you by my side
And I won't let up baby till I do
Yes I know I make you smile
But things will change in a little while
Cause I never say a thing I mean that don't come true

Believe me I don't want to hurt you
But my heart won't set you free
Surely you know that you belong to me

Gonna make you an offer you can't refuse
Gonna put my finger on you
Like a puppet thing, when I pull the string
You're the dancer
Gonna make you an offer you can't refuse
Put my finger on you
'Cause I need you so
But I won't take no for an answer

Gonna make you an offer you can't refuse
Gonna put my finger on you
Like a puppet thing, when I pull the string
You're the dancer
Gonna make you an offer you can't refuse
Put my finger on you
'Cause I need you so
And I won't take no for an answer

Repeat to fade

Te Estas Volviendo Mujer


Te Estas Volviendo Mujer
Composer(s): José Alfredo Jiménez
Performer(s): José Alfredo Jiménez; Halcones de San Luis



Te estás volviendo mujer
entre mis brazos
me estás haciendo cariños
no soñados

Estás borrando todos
todos mis fracasos
estás metiendo el sol
entre mis días nublados

Te estás haciendo mujer
con mi cariño
agarrada de mí
tranquilamente

Yo voy pisando fuerte
muy fuerte en el camino
sin pensar en tu olvido
ni en la muerte

Cuando sienta en mi ser
la fuerza tuya
y tú sientas también
la fuerza mía

No habra nadie en el mundo
que destruya
aquel amor que empezamos

Aquel amor que comenzó jugando
que comenzó jugando
hoy sigue creciendo
todavía

My Boy Flat Top
Composer(s): Boyd Bennett; John Young
Performer(s): Dorothy Collins
and various other artists



Hey, Mister Flat Top!

Young and strong, his top is flat
A cool haircut and never wears a hat
I don't mean maybe, he's a real hep cat
My boy, Flat Top

Big broad shoulders, man, they're pips
Dreamy eyes with a crazy lip
When he shouts, "Hey baby!"
Well, the girls they flip
My boy, Flat Top

I'm tellin' you that snazzy guy
Really sends me, my, oh, my
He's the most, the dreamers goal
You ought to see him rock and roll

Got no dough, but just a nod
Will get the girls, though it may seem odd
A real cool lover in his old hot rod
My boy, flat top

Young and strong, his top is flat
Got a cool haircut, no hat
I don't mean maybe, he's a real hep cat
(Her lover boy, Flat Top)

Big broad shoulders, man, they're pips
Got dreamy eyes, crazy lips
When he shouts, "Hey baby!"
The girls they flip
(Her lover boy, Flat Top)

I'm tellin' you that snazzy guy
Really sends you my oh, my
He's the most, the dreamers goal
You ought to see him rock and roll

Got no dough, but just a nod
Will get the girls, though it may seem odd
A real cool lover in his old hot rod
My boy (Her boy)
Who's boy (Your boy)
Oh! Boy (Boy, oh, boy)
Flat Top!

Se devo vivere
per amarci così

ancora sperar
ma fino all'ultimo
ti devo amar

Lo so che mai - Lo so che mai
io finirò - io finirò
in un solo attimo - in un solo attimo
d'amare te - d'amare te

Sei tu, lo so - Sei tu, lo so
che non m'ami più - che non m'ami più
e non tornerò - e non tornerai
un giorno da te - un giorno da me.

Se devo vivere
per amarci così
non è più vivere
soffrendo ogni dì

Lo so che è inutile
ancora sperar
ma fino all'ultimo
ti devo amar

My Boy


My Boy
Composer(s): Brian May
Performer(s): Brian May



Strange how soon the party's over
I should know by now
My hand no longer guides your footsteps
Now you guide your own
And all that's left is the sound of your voice
And your face as you were on the screen
Hush, don't you cry, there'll be no pain
The bad wolf has gone
He'll have no part of our game
All too soon the dream world's fading
Says farewell
Since my boy became a man
(Don't make it too soon)
My small boy

My Boomerang Won't Come Back


My Boomerang Won't Come Back
Composer(s): Max Diamond; Charlie Drake
Performer(s): Charlie Drake



(Oom-yacka-wurka, oom-yacka-wurka, oom-yacka-wurka)

In the bad backlands of Australia
Many years ago
The aborigine tribes were meeting
Having a big pow-wow

(Oom-yacka-wurka, oom-yacka-wurka)

"We got a lot of trouble, Chief
On account of your son Mack"
"My boy Mack? Why, what's wrong with him?"

Drake:
My boomerang won't come back
"Your boomerang won't come back?"

Drake:
My boomerang won't come back
My boomerang won't come back
I've waved the thing all over the place
Practised till I was black in the face
I'm a big disgrace to the Aborigine race
My boomerang won't come back

Drake:
I can ride a kangaroo (yeah yeah)
Make kinkajou stew (yeah yeah)
But I'm a big disgrace to the Aborigine race
My boomerang won't come back

They banished him from the tribe then
And sent him on his way
He had a backless boomerang
So here he could not stay

Drake:
This is nice, innit?
Getting banished at my time of life
What a way to spend an evening
sitting on a rock in the middle of the desert with me boomerang in me hand
I shall very likely get bushwhacked

Drake:
Get out of it!
You nasty bushwhacking animal
Think I'll make a nice cup of tea (Doing, doing, doing...)
Good gracious!
There goes a kangaroo
I must have a practice with me boomerang: hit him right behind the left earhole
Now then, slowly back

Gruff voice:
If you throw that thing at me, I'll jump right on your head
(It chuckles and bounces away)

Drake:
Innit marvellous?
Got a land full of kangaroos and I had to pick that one

For three long months he sat there
Or maybe it was four
Then an old old man in a kangaroo skin
Came a-knocking at his door

"Well, I'm the local witch doctor, son
They call me George Alfred Black
Now tell me, what's your trouble, boy?"

Drake:
My boomerang won't come back
"Your boomerang won't come back?"

Drake:
My boomerang won't come back
My boomerang won't come back
I've waved the thing all over the place
Practised till I was black in the face
I'm a big disgrace to the Aborigine race
My boomerang won't come back

"Don't worry, boy, I know the trick
And to you I'm gonna show it
If you want your boomerang to come back
Well first you've got to... throw it"

Drake:
Ooh, yes!
Never thought of that
Daddy will be pleased
Must have a go, nyuh-huh!
Excuse me
Now then, slowly back ... and throw

Drake:
Ooh my God!
I've hit the flying doctor
Eee-hee-hee!
Can you do first aid?

Witch Doctor:
Don't talk to me about first aid, boy
you owe me fourteen chickens, you know, when I learned you to throw the boomerang
you know, first things first

Drake:
Yes, I know that, but I mean, I think on this occasion
you know, you could be a bit more perspective...........
