Can't Run But


Can't Run But
Composer(s): Paul Simon
Performer(s): Paul Simon



I can't run but
I can walk much faster than this
Can't run but
I can't run but
I can walk much faster than this
Can't run but

A cooling system
Burns out in the Ukraine
Trees and umbrellas
Protect us from the new rain
Armies of engineers
To analyze the soil
The food we contemplate
The water that we boil

I can't run but
I can walk much faster than this
Can't run but
I can't run but
I can walk much faster than this
Can't run but
Oo-we Oo-we

I had a dream about us
In the bottles and the bones of the night
I felt a pain in my shoulder blade
Like a pencil point? A love bite?
A couple was rubbing against us
Rubbing and doing that new dance
The man was wearing a jacket and jeans
The woman was laughing in advance

I can't run but
I can walk much faster than this
Can't run but
I can't run but
I can walk much faster than this
Can't run but

A winding river
Gets wound around a heart
Pull it
Tighter and tighter
Until the muddy waters part
Down by the river bank
A blues band arrives
The music suffers
The music business thrives

I can't run but
I can walk much faster than this
Can't run but
I can't run but
I can walk much faster than this
Can't run but
Oo-we Oo-we

Fields Of Gold


Fields Of Gold
Composer(s): Sting
Performer(s): Sting;
and various other artists



You'll remember me when the west wind moves
Upon the fields of barley
You'll forget the sun in his jealous sky
As we walk in the fields of gold

So she took her love
For to gaze awhile
Upon the fields of barley
In his arms she fell as her hair came down
Among the fields of gold

Will you stay with me, will you be my love
Among the fields of barley
We'll forget the sun in his jealous sky
As we lie in the fields of gold

See the west wind move like a lover so
Upon the fields of barley
Feel her body rise when you kiss her mouth
Among the fields of gold
I never made promises lightly
And there have been some that I've broken
But I swear in the days still left
We'll walk in the fields of gold
We'll walk in the fields of gold

Many years have passed since those summer days
Among the fields of barley
See the children run as the sun goes down
Among the fields of gold
You'll remember me when the west wind moves
Upon the fields of barley
You can tell the sun in his jealous sky
When we walked in the fields of gold
When we walked in the fields of gold
When we walked in the fields of gold

The Boys Are Back In Town


The Boys Are Back In Town
Composer(s): Phil Lynott
First release by: Thin Lizzy - 1976
Covered by multiple other artists



Guess who just got back today?
Those wild-eyed boys that had been away
Haven't changed, haven't much to say
But man, I still think those cats are great

They were asking if you were around
How you was, where you could be found
I told them you were living downtown
Driving all the old men crazy

The boys are back in town

You know the chick that used to dance a lot
Every night she'd be on the floor shaking what she'd got
Man when I tell you she was cool, she was red hot
I mean she was steaming

That night over at Johnny's place
Well this chick got up and she slapped Johnny's face
Man we just fell about the place
If that chick don't want to know, forget her

Friday night they'll be dressed to kill
Down at Dino's bar and grill
The drink will flow and blood will spill
If the boys want to fight, you'd better let them

That jukebox in the corner blasting out my favorite song
The nights are getting warmer, it won't be long
It won't be long till summer comes
Now that the boys are here again

The boys are back in town

Can't Let Go


Can't Let Go
Composer(s): Maurice White - Bill Myers - Allee Willis
Performer(s): Earth, Wind & Fire



Love that is born in truth
All the doubt removed
Lover's eyes are blessed
Only sees the best

I can't let go
Off a love that grows
You're my woman, baby love
You know I love you, so

Empty hearts are free
Bring your love to me
Soul chase the moon
Shadows hug the room

Turn off the light
Sneak in bed at night
Darkness shut its eyes
Baby, I open mine to you

I can't let go
Off a love that grows
You know I love you, so
Can't let go
You know I love you, so

I can't let go
Off a love that grows
You're my woman, baby love
You know I love you, so

I love you, so, I
I love you, oh

I can't let go
Off a love that grows
You're my woman, baby love
You know I love you, so

I can't let go
Off a love that grows
You're my woman, baby love
You know I love you, so

I can't let go
Off a love that grows
You're my woman, baby love
You know I love you, so

Fields Of France


Fields Of France
Composer(s): Al Stewart
Performer(s): Al Stewart



His flying jacket still has her perfume
Memories of the night
Play across his mind
High above the fields of France

A single biplane in a clear blue sky
1917, no enemy was seen
High above the fields of France

Oh she looks
But there's nothing to see
Still she looks
Saying "Come back to me"

He tells her "Just remember me this way
Here am I more true
Than anything I do
High above the fields of France"

Oh she looks
Though he'll never come back
And the letter that came
Was bordered in black

She'll find somebody else
But not forget
Leaving her regrets
Like vapour trails of jets
High above the fields of France
High above the fields of France

The Boy With The Beatle Hair
Composer(s): Kenneth Gamble - William Jackson - Joe Renzetti - Jerry J. Ross
Performer(s): The Swans



Oh, look at that boy over there
The one with the Beatle hair
I wish that he would come and dance with me
I see him ev'rywhere
The boy with the Beatle hair
I wish that he would come and talk to me

The boy with the Beatle hair ???? next to me in school
All the girls adore him, they think he's really cool
If he looked my way, I know just what I'd say
Be mine forever, forever

Oh, look at that boy over there
The one with the Beatle hair
I wish that he would come and dance with me
I see him ev'rywhere
The boy with the Beatle hair
I wish that he would come and talk to me

Oh, look at that boy over there
The one with the Beatle hair
I wish that he would come and dance with me

Could this be the day, boy, it's really lookin' fine
He's so sweet and gentle, I gotta make him mine
Gotta tell him right away what's in my heart today
We belong together, together

Oh, look at that boy over there
The one with the Beatle hair
I wish that he would come and dance with me
I see him ev'rywhere
The boy with the Beatle hair...

Can't Hide Your Love


Can't Hide Your Love Composer(s): Jeffrey Cohen - Herbie Hancock - Narada Michael Walden Performer(s): Herbie Hancock



No matter where you go, I´m right behind
There ain´t a secret place that I can´t find
If you look in your heart of hearts, you´ll find me there
I´ve been there from the start and I ain´t goin´ nowhere

You can´t hide your love away from me
It´s your destiny, don´t you see
You can´t hide your love away from me
You´re a part of me, gotta be

You say you´re on the run, well so am I
You´re not the only one who´s ever tried
If your heart leads the way, there´s on reason to pretend
I got my mind made up, I´ll get you in the end

You can´t hide your love away from me
It´s your destiny, don´t you see
You can´t hide your love away from me
You´re a part of me, gotta be

Baby when you´re close to me
I am lost in my fantasy
Oh my love, when you touch me, burn me
I feel the fire...I feel the fire

You can´t hide your love away from me
It´s your destiny, don´t you see
You can´t hide your love away from me
You´re a part of me, gotta be

Fields Of Fire


Fields Of Fire
Composer(s): Richard Feldman; Midge Ure
Performer(s): Midge Ure



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 inside
What more could I ask
There's nothing left to be desired
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
Just to have you now
All I need is the air that I breathe you're all I want
Peace came upon me and it breathes in me
Don't sleep silent angel don't you sleep

The Boy Who Came Back


The Boy Who Came Back
Composer(s): Marc Almond
Performer(s): Marc Almond & the Willing Sinners



He woke to the sound of the birds in the morning
Felt charged with a new lease of life
Time to break out of his present surroundings
A mother, a child and a wife
He'd not said good-bye to his last thread of childhood
It lay just beyond his front gate
So he packed just a few things
And he packed in his job
And he prayed he'd not left it too late

He turned and he said
"Well we always have time
Time on our side
And there's time for this boy to turn back"

Joy held his heart
As he took to the road
Cast all his sorrow
To the breeze
Knew in his heart
It was the right thing to do
For he had to search out
His belief
Spring came and fall went
The year ran away
Love, hate and heartache ran too
Felt himself drift
Into memories of home
And the loneliness he lived on through

He turned and he said
"Well we always have time
Time on our side
And there's time for this boy to turn back"

And he'd learnt about life
But he'd lost out on love
He was no longer only a boy
There were lines on his face
From the sun and the wind
But no lines there through
Laughter or joy

Shoes full of holes
But with fire in his soul
He walked down the dirt beaten track
Mother was gone
But his wife and child were living on
And they cried
"It's the boy who came back"
Goodbye through the evening
Goodbye through the night
Goodbye through the dreams
Through the sleep
Goodbye to our yesterdays
Hello tomorrow
It seems we were destined to meet

He turned and he said
"Well we always have time
Time on our side
And there's time for this boy to turn back"

Can't Help Lovin' Dat Man


Can't Help Lovin' Dat Man Composer(s): Jerome Kern - Oscar Hammerstein II First release by: Helen Morgan - 1927 Covered by multiple other artists



Oh listen, sister
I love my mister man and I can't tell you why
Dere ain't no reason why I should love dat man
It must be sumpin' dat de angels done plan
De chimbley's smokin'
De roof is leakin' in
But he don't seem to care
He can be happy
With jes' a sip of gin
I even loves him when his kisses got gin

Fish got to swim and birds got to fly
I got to love one man till I die
Can't help lovin' that man of mine

Tell me he's lazy
Tell me he's slow
Tell me I'm crazy, maybe, I know
Can't help lovin' that man of mine

When he goes away
Dat's a rainy day
And when he comes back dat day is fine
The sun will shine

He can come home as late as can be
Home without him ain't no home to me
Can't help lovin' that man of mine

He can come home as late as can be
Home without him ain't no home to me
Can't help lovin' that man the way I do
Oh Can't help lovin' that man of mine

Fields Of Clover


Fields Of Clover
Composer(s): Dan Penn; Spooner Oldham
Performer(s): The Box Tops



You're walking in fields of clover
I hear you finally made it to the classy side of town
It made me sad, got to feeling bad, until I thought it over
And now I'm all right, because you're all right
Baby, baby, I know you're sleeping warm tonight

You crossed the tracks in a hurry
Yes you did
You didn't even stop, to tell me goodbye, yeah
But them pretty dresses that you're wearing, baby
Are payment enough
You're sure looking tough
I always told you, ah, that you had the stuff
Yeah, yeah…

Baby, you're walking in fields of clover
You're stepping high, like a lady should
Now maybe someday you'll wave to me from across the tracks, yeah
And I'll be all right, knowing you're all right
Baby, baby, I know you're sleeping warm tonight
Yeah, yeah…

The Boy Next Door


The Boy Next Door
Composer(s): Hugh Martin - Ralph Blane
Performer(s): Judy Garland



The moment I saw him smile
I knew he was just my style
My only regret is we've never met
Though I dream of him all the while

But he doesn't know I exist
No matter how I may persist
So it's clear to see there's no hope for me
Though I live at fifty-one-thirty-five Kensington Avenue
And he lives at fifty-one-thirty-three

How can I ignore the boy next door
I love him more than I can say
Doesn't try to please me
Doesn't even tease me
And he never sees me glance his way

And though I'm heart-sore, the boy next door
Affection for me won't display
I just adore him
So I can't ignore him
The boy next door

I just adore him
So I can't ignore him
The boy next door

a mis inquietudes
seré fiel
Seré fiel

The Boy In The Bubble


The Boy In The Bubble
Composer(s): Paul Simon - Forere Motloheloa
First release by: Paul Simon - 1986
Covered by multiple other artists



It was a slow day
And the sun was beating
On the soldiers by the side of the road
There was a bright light
A shattering of shop windows
The bomb in the baby carriage
Was wired to the radio
These are the days of miracle and wonder
This is the long distance call
The way the camera follows us in slo-mo
The way we look to us all
The way we look to a distant constellation
That's dying in a corner of the sky
These are the days of miracle and wonder
And don't cry baby, don't cry
Don't cry

It was a dry wind
And it swept across the desert
And it curled into the circle of birth
And the dead sand
Falling on the children
The mothers and the fathers
And the automatic earth
These are the days of miracle and wonder
This is the long distance call
The way the camera follows us in slo-mo
The way we look to us all
The way we look to a distant constellation
That's dying in a corner of the sky
These are the days of miracle and wonder
And don't cry baby, don't cry
Don't cry

It's a turn-around jump shot
It's everybody jump start
It's every generation throws a hero up the pop charts
Medicine is magical and magical is art, think of
The Boy in the Bubble
And the baby with the baboon heart

And I believe
These are the days of lasers in the jungle
Lasers in the jungle somewhere
Staccato signals of constant information
A loose affiliation of millionaires
And billionaires and baby
These are the days of miracle and wonder
This is the long distance call
The way the camera follows us in slo-mo
The way we look to us all
The way we look to a distant constellation
That's dying in a corner of the sky
These are the days of miracle and wonder
And don't cry baby, don't cry
Don't cry

Can't Go On


Can't Go On Composer(s): David Coverdale - Adrian Vandenberg Performer(s): Whitesnake



I’ve been feeling sentimental
In a melancholy way
Blues siting on my shoulder
Getting heavier every day...

Staring into space
One thing on my mind
I’ve been trying to drown
The thought of you
By drinking too much wine...

Then my imagination
Starts running wild
I snap my fingers
And you’re there by my side...

Can’t go on without your love
There’s no song without your love...
Ain’t no reason, ain’t no rhyme
Without your love
I’ll go out of my mind...

Been getting too lazy
Letting myself go
Feeling like a refugee
No one cares for anymore...
Endless lonely days
I just try to get through
And there’s no escape
Even when I sleep
’cause all I dream is you...

Then my imagination
Gets the better of me
’cause you’re everywhere I go
In everything I see...

I can’t go on without you love
There’s no song without your love...
There ain’t no reason, there ain’t no rhyme
Without your love
I’ll go out of my mind...

You make me dance
You make me sing
When I’m with you
I can do anything...
When I’m cold
You keep me warm.
And give me shelter
From the howling storm...

There ain’t no reason, there ain’t no rhyme
Without your love
I’ll go out of my mind...

Can’t go on without your love
There’s no song without your love...

Fiddle Around


Fiddle Around
Composer(s): Larry Kusik; Clint Ballard Jr.
Performer(s): Jan & Dean



Wo wo wo fiddle around, fiddle around
They would fiddle around and around all over the town

Do you remember Judy?
Her eyes were big and blue
Her kisses were so tender and warm
But her heart was so untrue
She used to fiddle around, fiddle around
She would fiddle around and around all over the town

Susie, she'd be faithful
Kathy gave me her heart
But they would start a-cheatin' on me
Each time we were apart
Oh they would fiddle around, fiddle around
They would fiddle around and around all over the town

Well, I've had lots of girlfriends
When all is said and done
Baby, you're the only girl for me
'Cause you're the only one
Who doesn't fiddle around, fiddle around
You don't fiddle around and around all over the town
You don't fiddle around and around all over the town

The Boy From New York City


The Boy From New York City
Composer(s): George Davis - John Taylor
First release by: The Ad Libs - 1964
Covered by multiple other artists



Oo-wah Oo-wah cool cool Kitty
Tell us about the boy from New York City
Oo-wah Oo-wah C'mon Kitty
Tell us about the boy from New York City

He's kinda tall, he's really fine
Someday I hope to make him mine all mine
And he's neat, and oh so sweet
And just the way he looked at me swept me off my feet
Oo-oo-weee, you ought to come and see
How he walks, and how he talks

He's really down, and he's no clown
He has the finest penthouse I've ever seen in town
And he's cute, in his mohair suit
And he keeps his pockets full of spending loot
Oo-oo-wee, you ought to come and see
His pretty bar, and his brand new car

Every time he says he loves me
Chills run down my spine
Every time he wants to kiss me
Oo, he makes me feel so fi-i-ine
(Oo-wah oo-wah...)

He can dance, and make romance
And that's when I fell in love with just one glance
He was shy, and so was I
And now I know we'll never ever say goodbye
Oo-oo-wee, you ought to come and see
He's the most, from coast to coast

Can't Get Used To Losing You


Can't Get Used To Losing You Composer(s): Doc Pomus - Mort Shuman First release by: Andy Williams - 1963 Covered by multiple other artists



Guess there's no use in hangin' 'round
Guess I'll get dressed and do the town
I'll find some crowded avenue
Though it will be empty without you

Can't get used to losin' you no matter what I try to do
Gonna live my whole life through-loving you

Called up some girl I used to know
After I heard her say "Hello"
Couldn't think of anything to say
Since you're gone it happens every day

Can't get used to losin' you no matter what I try to do
Gonna live my whole life through-loving you

I'll find somebody, wait and see
Who am I kiddin', only me
'cause no one else could take your place
Guess that I am just a helpless case

Can't get used to losin' you no matter what I try to do
Gonna live my whole life through-loving you

I can't get used to losin' you no matter what I try to do
Gonna live my whole life through-loving you

Fica


Fica
Performer(s): Chico Buarque



Dia que eu não sou de respeito
Diz que não dá jeito
De jeito nenhum
Diz que eu sou subversivo
Um elemento ativo
Feroz e nocivo
Ao bem-estar comum

Fale do nosso barraco
Diga que é um buraco
Que nem queiram ver
Diga que o meu samba é fraco
E que eu não largo o taco
Nem pra conversar com você
Mas fica
Mas fica ao lado meu
Você sai e não explica
Onde vai e a gente fica
Sem saber se vai voltar

Diga ao primeiro que passa
Que eu sou da cachaça
Mais do que do amor
Diga e diga de pirraça
De raiva ou de graça
No meio da praça, é favor
Mas fica
Mas fica ao lado meu
Você sai e não explica
Onde vai e a gente fica
Sem saber se vai voltar

Diz que eu ganho até folgado
Mas perco no dado
E não lhe dou vintém
Diz que é pra tomar cuidado
Sou um desajustado
E o que bem lhe agrada, meu bem
Mas fica
Mas fica, meu amor
Quem sabe um dia
Por descuido ou poesia
Você goste de ficar
