Call Me Lightning


Call Me Lightning Composer(s): Pete Townshend First release by: The Who - 1968 Covered by multiple other artists



See that girl who's smiling so brightly
Well I reckon she's cool and I reckon rightly
She's good looking and I ain't frightened
I'm gonna show you why they call me lightning

Hey little girl who's dancing so lightly
My XKE is shining so brightly
The noose around us is slowly tightening
I'm gonna show you why they call me lightning

Hey little girl who's dancing so lightly
My XKE is shining so brightly
The noose around us is slowly tightening
I'm gonna show you why they call me lightning

You can't catch me, I'm as fast as can be
Call me lightning, I'm as fast as can be
No you can't catch me, no you can't catch me

Fame (David Bowie)


Fame
Composer(s): David Bowie; John Lennon; Carlos Alomar
Performer(s): David Bowie



Fame, (fame) makes a man take things over
Fame, (fame) lets him loose, hard to swallow
Fame, (fame) puts you there where things are hollow
Fame (fame)

Fame, it's not your brain, it's just the flame
That burns your change to keep you insane (sane)
Fame (fame)

Fame, (fame) what you like is in the limo
Fame, (fame) what you get is no tomorrow
Fame, (fame) what you need you have to borrow
Fame (fame)

Fame, "Nien! It's mine!" is just his line
To bind your time, it drives you to, crime
Fame (fame)

Could it be the best, could it be?
Really be, really, babe?
Could it be, my babe, could it, babe?
Could it, babe?, could it, babe?

Is it any wonder I reject you first?
Fame, fame, fame, fame
Is it any wonder you are too cool to fool
Fame (fame)

Fame, bully for you, chilly for me
Got to get a rain check on pain (pain)
(Fame)

Fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame
fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame
Fame
What's your name?

Feeling so gay, feeling gay

The Alcoholic Blues


The Alcoholic Blues
Composer(s): Albert Von Tilzer - Edward Laska
Performer(s): Billy Murray
and multiple other artists



I love my country, 'deed I do
But oh, that war has made me blue
I like fightin', that's my name
But fightin' is the least about the fightin' game

When Mister Hoover said to cut my dinner down
I never even hesitate, I never frown
I cut my sugar, I cut my coal
But now they dug deep in my soul

I've got the blues, I've got the blues
I've got the alcoholic blues
No more beer, my heart to cheer
Goodbye whiskey, you used to make me frisky
So long highball, so long gin
Oh, tell me when you comin' back agin

Blues, I've got the blues
Since they amputated my booze
Lordy, Lordy, war is well
You know I don't have to tell
I've got the alcoholic blues
Some blues, I've got the blues

Prohibition that's the name
Prohibition drives me insane
I'm so thirsty, soon I'll die
I'm simply goin' to 'vaporate, I'm just that dry

I wouldn't mind to live forever in a trench
Just if my daily thirst they only let me quench
And not with Bevo or Ginger Ale
I want the real stuff by the pail

I've got the blues, I've got the blues
I've got the alcoholic blues
No more beer, my heart to cheer
Goodbye whiskey, you used to make me frisky
So long highball, so long gin
Oh, tell mw when you comin' back agin

Blues, I've got the blues
Since they amputated my booze
Lordy, Lordy, war is well
You know, I don't have to tell
I've got the alcoholic blues
Some blues, I've got the blues

Call me fool
Thrill me or taunt me
I'll be where you want me

Muchos vientos me han quitado ya
El polvo de mis alas
Muchas lluvias me han borrado ya
La candidez del alma
Mil amores he vivido ya
Muchos golpes he sufrido ya
Para que me finjas sensaciones y emociones
Que no son verdad

Muchos soles han quemado ya
La piel de mi garganta
Muchas lunas he visto pasar
Mientras que yo soñaba
Mil amores he vivido ya
Muchos golpes he sufrido ya
Para que me finjas sensaciones y emociones
Que no son verdad

Falso
Ese gesto que me pones
Cuando estas entre mis brazos
Y el gemido entrecortado se que es falso
Todo el fuego que tu pones
Cuando yo te estoy amando
Y ese grito desgarrado se que es falso

The Air That I Breathe


The Air That I Breathe ((aka Creep (Radiohead) - 1992))
((Italian Version: Ad Ogni Costo (Vasco Rossi) - 2009))
Composer(s): Albert Hammond - Mike Hazlewood
First release by: Albert Hammond - 1972
Covered by multiple other artists



If I could make a wish
I think I'd pass
can't think of anything I need...

no cigarettes, no sleep, no light, no sound
nothing to eat, no books to read
making love with you
has left me peaceful, warm and tired
what more could I ask
there's nothing left, to be desired
peace came upon me and it leaves me weak
so sleep, silent angel
go to sleep...

Sometimes
all I need is the air that I breathe
and to love you
all I need is the air that I breathe
just to love you
all I need is the air that I breathe...

Peace came upon me
and it leaves me weak
so sleep silent angel
go to sleep...

Sometimes
all I need is the air that I breathe
and to love you
all I need is the air that I breathe
yes to love you
all I need is the air that I breathe
just to love you...

Ett o ett e två
två o två e fyra
lönerna dom e låga
men varorna e dyra

Ska de' va så svårt att fatta
att det e falsk matematik
som gör den fattige så fattig
o den rike så förbannat rik

Två o två är fyra
fyra o fyre e åtta
En del har femton badrum
o jag har en sprucken potta

Ska de' va...

Tre o tre e sex
sex o sex e tolv
Fru Wallenberg putsar naglarna
o fru Svensson skurar golv

Ska de' va...

Noll o noll e noll
o noll-noll noll-noll-noll
var du än släpper slantarna
så rullar dom åt samma håll

Ska de' va...

Guarda che lo so
Che gli occhi che hai

Amo dirtelo
Voglio restare insieme a te
Ad ogni costo

Neanche quando ti svegli

Guarda che lo so
Mi tradirai
Io ti conosco
E lo farai senza neanche rimorso

Tanto è lo stesso
Soffro anche spesso

Composer(s): Tony Hatch
First release by: Petula Clark - 1965
Covered by multiple other artists



If you're feeling sad and lonely
There's a service I can render
Tell the one who loves you only
I can be so warm and tender
Call me
Don't be afraid, you can call me
Maybe it's late, but just call me
Tell me, and I'll be around

When it seems your friends desert you
There's somebody thinking of you
I'm the one who'll never hurt you
Maybe that's because I love you

Call me
Don't be afraid, you can call me
Maybe it's late, but just call me
Tell me, and I'll be around

Now don't forget me
'Cause if you let me
I will always stay by you
You've got to trust me
That's how it must be
There's so much that I can do

If you call I'll be right with you
You and I should be together
Take this love I long to give you
I'll be at your side forever

Call me
Don't be afraid, you can call me
Maybe it's late, but just call me

False Hearted Girl


False Hearted Girl
Composer(s): Alton Delmore; Rabon Delmore
Performer(s): Tennessee Ernie Ford; Ella Mae Morse



You love me in the sunshine
You hate me in the rain
When old man trouble is hanging 'round
It always seems to rain
I'm tired of livin' in this old world
You've done me wrong, false hearted girl

You said that you'd be true babe
And told me that we'd wed
Now you won't even see me
And I wish that I was dead
I'm tired of livin' in this old world
You've done me wrong, false hearted girl

You double crossed me babe
You know you done it too
You never hug and kiss me
Until the red is due
I'm tired of livin' in this old world
You've done me wrong, false hearted girl

I wish I was an outlaw
I'd draw my gun and fire
I'd fire it at your heart babe
Because you are a liar
I'm tired of livin' in this old world
You've done me wrong, false hearted girl

When Gabriel blows his trumpet
And we shall all arise
There'll be nobody up there
Who'll believe your dirty lies
I'm tired of livin' in this old world
You've done me wrong, false hearted girl

And if you go before me
And find it different there
I know that you'll remember
You did not treat me fair
I'm tired of livin' in this old world
You've done me wrong, false hearted girl
You've done me wrong, false hearted girl

Composer(s): Al Green - Willie Mitchell - Al Jackson
Performer(s): Al Green; Ronnie Aldrich & His Two Pianos



Call me call me call me
What a beautiful time we had together
Now it's gettin' late and we must leave each other
Just remember the time we had
And how right I tried to be
It's all in a day's work
Call me

Go on and take your time 'cause you're only losing me

Tell you it's all in the way you feel
If your love is real
Come to me

Let you go away feelin' free as a dove
If you find you're a long ways from home
And somebody's doing you wrong
Just call on me baby

False Faces


False Faces
Composer(s): Dan Fogelberg
Performer(s): Dan Fogelberg



Oil on canvas
Couplets and stanzas
To divine who you are
Pencil portrayals and
Jealous betrayals
Get you further afar

False faces and
Meaningless chases
I travel alone
First places and
Calendar races
I need a home

Hostile hotel walls
Footfalls and phone calls
And you're on the line
Gentle coercions and
Bitter desertions
When the truth is a lie

False faces and
Meaningless chases
I travel alone
First places and
Calendar races
I need a home

Lover twice yearly
That last battle nearly
Cost me the fight
Broke through the ice
And got cut down
to size
And escaped
through the night

False faces and
Meaningless chases
I travel alone
First places and
Calendar races
I need a home

The Age For Love


The Age For Love
Composer(s): Latimer - Wells
Performer(s): Jimmy Charles; Glenda Collins



Too young to be in love, they say
Too young to know the score
When will we come to the age for love
That's what we're waiting for

We know our love would pass the test
If we could have the chance
Well, any age is the age for love
The age for sweet romance

Can we explain
The true way we feel
How can we show them
Our love is real

Someday we'll find a way to prove
We're not too young at all
They'll realise that the age for love
Is ageless after all

They'll realise that the age for love
Is ageless after all

Falsa
Composer(s): Juan B. Leonardo
Performer(s): Javier Solis;
and various other artists



Quise hallar en otros besos el alivio
al cruel daño que tu engaño me causara
Y al buscar en el aliento de otras bocas
el perfume que embriagaba mi tristeza

Encontré que también ellas mentían
y fingían como tú lo hacías conmigo
finalmente comprendo que en la vida
todo es falso pero tú eres mucho más

Encontré que también ellas mentían
y fingían como tú lo hacías conmigo
finalmente comprendo que en la vida
todo es falso pero tú eres mucho más
