Cold Day In Hell


Cold Day In Hell
Composer(s): Gary Moore
Performer(s): Gary Moore



So many times you tried to take the best of me
So many times, now you're gonna take the rest of me
Better look at what you're doing before it's too late
It's a fine line you're treadin' between love and hate
There'll be a cold day in hell
before I'm coming back to you

So many times you tried to play a dead end game
Yes, you did
I tried to tell you, but you'd never wanna take the blame
Now you've pushed me to the limit, and I can't take no more
You'd better take one last look before I'm out the door
There'll be a cold day in hell
before I'm coming back to you

You never listened when I told you
that you were way out of line
Too busy talkin' to listen
accusing me of telling lies

So many times you tried to get the best of me
Yes, you did
So many times, but now you're gonna take the rest of me
Well, it's too late for sorry and it's too late for tears
Better take one last look before I disappear
There'll be a cold day in hell
before I'm coming back to you

There'll be a cold day in hell
before I'm coming back to you
There'll be a cold day in hell
before I'm coming back to you
Yeah!

Riders on the storm, riders on the storm
Into this house we're born

An actor out alone
Riders on the storm

There's a killer on the road
His brain is squirmin' like a toad
Take a long holiday
Let your children play
If you give this man a ride
Sweet family will die
Killer on the road, yeah

Girl, you gotta love your man
Girl, you gotta love your man
Take him by the hand
Make him understand
The world on you depends
Our life will never end
Gotta love your man, yeah

Riders on the storm, riders on the storm
Into this house we're born
Into this world we're thrown
Like a dog without a bone
An actor out alone
Riders on the storm

Do-Re-Mi (Mary Martin)


Do-Re-Mi
((Dutch Version: Do-Re-Mi (Paul de Leeuw met De Kinderen von Trapp)) - 1993))
Composer(s): Richard Rodgers - Oscar Hammerstein II
First performance/First release by: Mary Martin - 1959
Covered by multiple other artists



Let's start at the very beginning
A very good place to start
When you read you begin with A-B-C
When you sing you begin with do-re-mi

Do-re-mi, do-re-mi
The first three notes just happen to be
Do-re-mi, do-re-mi

Maria:
Do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ti
spoken Let's see if I can make it easy

Doe, a deer, a female deer
Ray, a drop of golden sun
Me, a name I call myself
Far, a long, long way to run
Sew, a needle pulling thread
La, a note to follow Sew
Tea, a drink with jam and bread
That will bring us back to Do (oh-oh-oh)

Maria and Children:
(Repeat above verse twice)

Maria:
Do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ti-do
So-do!

Maria:
Now children, do-re-mi-fa-so and so on are only the tools we use to build a song
Once you have these notes in your heads, you can sing a million different tunes by mixing them up
Like this

So Do La Fa Mi Do Re
spoken Can you do that?

Children:
So Do La Fa Mi Do Re

Maria:
So Do La Ti Do Re Do

Children:
So Do La Ti Do Re Do

Maria:
Now, put it all together

Maria and Children:
So Do La Fa Mi Do Re, So Do La Ti Do Re Do

Maria:
Good!

Brigitta:
But it doesn't mean anything

Maria:
So we put in words
One word for every note
Like this

When you know the notes to sing
You can sing most anything
Together!

Maria and Children:
When you know the notes to sing
You can sing most anything

Doe, a deer, a female deer
Ray, a drop of golden sun
Me, a name I call myself
Far, a long, long way to run
Sew, a needle pulling thread
La, a note to follow Sew
Tea, a drink with jam and bread
That will bring us back to Do

Do Re Mi Fa So La Ti Do
Do Ti La So Fa Mi Re

Children:
Do Mi Mi
Mi So So
Re Fa Fa
La Ti Ti
(Repeat above verse 4x as Maria sings)

Maria:
When you know the notes to sing
You can sing most anything

Maria and Children:
Doe, a deer, a female deer
Ray, a drop of golden sun
Me, a name I call myself
Far, a long, long way to run
Sew, a needle pulling thread
La, a note to follow Sew
Tea, a drink with jam and bread
That will bring us back to

Maria & Children:

Do... So Do
Re... La Fa
Mi... Mi Do
Fa... Re
So... So Do
La... La Fa
Ti... La So Fa Mi Re
Ti Do - oh - oh Ti Do -- So Do

The Sidestep


The Sidestep
Composer(s): Carol Hall
Performer(s): Charles Durning



Fellow Texans, I am proudly standing here to humbly see
I assure you, and I mean it
Now, who says I don't speak out as plain as day?
And, fellow Texans, I'm for progress and the flag - long may it fly
I'm a poor boy, come to greatness
So, it follows that I cannot tell a lie

Ooh I love to dance a little sidestep, now they see me now they don't
I've come and gone and, ooh I love to sweep around the wide step
cut a little swathe and lead the people on

Now my good friends, it behooves me to be solemn and declare
I'm for goodness and for profit and for living clean and saying daily prayer
And now, my good friends, you can sleep nights, I'll continue to stand tall
You can trust me, for I promise, I shall keep a watchful eye upon ya'll...

Ooh I love to dance a little sidestep, now they see me now they don't
I've come and gone and, ooh I love to sweep around the wide step
cut a little swathe and lead the people on

Now, Miss Mona, I don't know her, though I've heard the name, oh yes
But, of course I've no close contact, so what she is doing I can only guess
And now, Miss Mona, she's a blemish on the face of that good town
I am taking certain steps here, someone somewhere's gonna have to close her down

Ooh I love to dance a little sidestep, now they see me now they don't
I've come and gone and, ooh I love to sweep around the wide step
cut a little swathe and lead the people on

Ooh I love to dance a little sidestep...

And, ooh I love to sweep around the wide step...

Cut a little swathe and lead the people on

Cold Black Night


Cold Black Night
Composer(s): Jeremy Spencer
Performer(s): Fleetwood Mac



It was a cold black night and the rain was falling down
Cold black night and the rain was fallin' down
I went out lookin' for my girl
I knew she wasn't nowhere around

She left me early that morning, with a suitcase in her hand
She left me early that morning, yes, with a suitcase in her
hand
And she took off on a train this mornin'
and she was meetin' some other man, yes

She used to treat me real good and I wonder why I
didn't treat her right
Yes, ah, you know I wonder why I didn't treat her right
And now all I can do, is walk those streets both day and night

Ride, Tenderfoot, Ride


Ride, Tenderfoot, Ride
Composer(s): Johnny Mercer; Richard A. Whiting
Performer(s): Dick Powell;
and various other artists



Ride, tenderfoot, ride tonight
See the old rangers there at your side, tonight
They're fast company
So if you wanna be a cowboy
Then you gotta ride, tenderfoot, ride!
You gotta hit the trail
In Oklahoma when the moon is pale
And get to Texas with the mornin' mail
'Fore you can be a cowboy
You gotta rope and throw
You gotta get your share of buffalo
And win the money at the Rodeo
'Fore you can be a cowboy (whistle)
You gotta tend your cattle the best you can
Hold your "likker" like a man
And ride, tenderfoot, ride tonight!
See the old range riders there at your side tonight
They're fast company
So if you wanna be a cowboy
Then you gotta ride, tenderfoot, ride!
Ride, ride, ride!

Cold As Ice


Cold As Ice
Composer(s): Mick Jones; Lou Gramm
Performer(s): Foreigner



You're as cold as ice
You're willing to sacrifice our love
You never take advice
Someday you'll pay the price, I know

I've seen it before
It happens all the time
Closing the door
You leave the world behind

You're digging for gold
Yet throwing away
A fortune in feelings
But someday you'll pay

You're as cold as ice
You're willing to sacrifice our love
You want paradise
But someday you'll pay the price, I know

I've seen it before
It happens all the time
Closing the door
You leave the world behind

You're digging for gold
Yet throwing away
A fortune in feelings
But someday you'll pay

(Cold - as - ice)
You know that you are
(Cold-cold) - (as-as) - (ice)
As cold as ice to me
(Cold-cold-cold) - (as-as-as) - (ice)

(Ooh, ooh, ooh, you're as cold as ice)
(You're as cold as icccce)
You're as cold as ice
(Cold as icccce)
Cold as ice I know
(You're as cold as icccce)
You're as cold as ice
(Cold as icccce)
Cold as ice I know
(You're as cold as icccce)
Oh, yes I know

I Have Confidence


I Have Confidence
Composer(s): Richard Rodgers
First release by: Julie Andrews - 1965



What will this day be like? I wonder
What will my future be? I wonder
It could be so exciting to be out in the world, to be free
My heart should be wildly rejoicing
Oh, what's the matter with me?

I've always longed for adventure
To do the things I've never dared
And here I'm facing adventure
Then why am I so scared

A captain with seven children
What's so fearsome about that?

Oh, I must stop these doubts, all these worries
If I don't I just know I'll turn back
I must dream of the things I am seeking
I am seeking the courage I lack

The courage to serve them with reliance
Face my mistakes without defiance
Show them I'm worthy
And while I show them
I'll show me

So, let them bring on all their problems
I'll do better than my best
I have confidence they'll put me to the test
But I'll make them see I have confidence in me

Somehow I will impress them
I will be firm but kind
And all those children (Heaven bless them!)
They will look up to me

And mind me with each step I am more certain
Everything will turn out fine
I have confidence the world can all be mine
They'll have to agree I have confidence in me

I have confidence in sunshine
I have confidence in rain
I have confidence that spring will come again
Besides which you see I have confidence in me

Strength doesn't lie in numbers
Strength doesn't lie in wealth
Strength lies in nights of peaceful slumbers
When you wake up -- Wake Up!

It tells me all I trust I lead my heart to
All I trust becomes my own
I have confidence in confidence alone
(Oh help!)

I have confidence in confidence alone
Besides which you see I have confidence in me!

The Shut-In's Prayer


The Shut-In's Prayer
Composer(s): Jimmy Martin - Paul Williams
Performer(s): Jimmy Martin & The Sunny Mountain Boys



Last night as the moon pulled anchor
And sailed down the milky way
It peeked through an old front window
Where a lonely shut-in lay

The moon seemed to shine much brighter
Each star seemed to nod it's head
The night seemed so strangely peaceful
When they heard what the shut-in said

Dear God way up in heaven
I earnestly pray to thee
And my prayer, oh Lord, was thou answered
And lay a healing hand on me

This vain world seems to forget me, Lord
And I've been a shut-in so long
I'm needing thy love, dear Jesus
And still in my heart a song

Lord, I ask not for gold or silver
And no diamonds to call my own
Just give me that touch of healing
I'm so weak and all alone

I trust that I'm not asking too much
Of thy heavenly wealth
When humbly, dear Lord, I pray thee
Just give me back my health

Then off to dreamland the shut-in drifted
Yes, God heard what the shut-in said
The night seemed so strangely peaceful
When they heard what the shut-in said

Cold


Cold
Composer(s): Robert Smith; Lol Tolhurst; Simon Johnathon Gallup
Originally performed by: The Cure



Scarred
Your back was turned
Curled like an embryo
Take another face
You will be kissed again
I was cold as I mouthed the words
And crawled across the mirror
I wait
Await the next breath
Your name
Like ice into my heart
A shallow grave
A monument to the ruined age
Ice in my eyes
And eyes like ice don't move
Screaming at the moon
Another past time
Your name
Like ice into my heart

Everything as cold as life
Can no one save you?
Everything
As cold as silence
And you never say a word
Your name
Like ice into my heart
Your name
Like ice into my heart

The Shrine Of St. Cecilia


The Shrine Of St. Cecilia
Composer(s): Pern Jokern - Carroll Loveday
Performer(s): The Andrews Sisters
and multiple other artists



Our home is a shambles, all I treasured has gone
The town seems deserted, everyone's so forlorn
A storm came from up above but somehow it missed
The shrine of Saint Cecilia

The bells in the chapel never ring anymore
The clock in the steeple can't tell time as before
But up on the hillside, stands a place heaven blest
The shrine of Saint Cecilia

Each day at eventide
When I seek haven from my daily care
You'll find me by her side
It seems so peaceful there

I kneel in my solitude and silently pray
That heaven will protect you, dear, and there'll come a day
The storm will be over and that we'll meet again
At the shrine of Saint Cecilia

Each day at eventide
When I seek haven from my daily care
You'll find me by her side
It seems so peaceful there

I kneel in my solitude and silently pray
That heaven will protect you, dear, and there'll come a day
The storm will be over and that we'll meet again
At the shrine of Saint Cecilia

At the shrine of Saint Cecilia

Composer(s): León Gieco

No me queda bien estar fingiendo
aqui parado cualquier linea me deja bien
A veces sin rumbo cola de amor
voy a buscarte espero aqui o me voy

Miran otros ojos alrededor
no creo que alguien pueda robarme este amor
Mas de diez años mas que los vientos mas un dolor
no creo que alguien pueda robarme este amor

Para poder seguir tengo que empazar todo de nuevo
un canto libre para la luna y para vos
En una orilla todos los dias descansaran
y con un sueño en un lugar y con un sueño en un lugar
y con un sueño en un lugar te espero

No me queda bien estar fingiendo
aqui parado cualquier linea me deja bien
A veces sin rumbo cola de amor
voy a buscarte espero aqui o me voy

Para poder seguir tengo que empazar todo de nuevo
un canto libre para la luna y para vos
En una orilla todos los dias descansaran
y con un sueño en un lugar y con un sueño en un lugar
y con un sueño en un lugar te espero

No me queda bien estar fingiendo
aqui parado cualquier linea me deja bien
Mas de diez años mas que los vientos mas un dolor
no creo que alguien pueda robarme este amor

Ride The Wild Surf


Ride The Wild Surf
Composer(s): Jan Berry;
Roger Christian; Brian Wilson
Performer(s): Jan & Dean;
and various other artists



In Hawaii there's a place known as Waimea Bay
Where the best surfers in the world come to stay
And ride the wild surf, they come to try
To conquer those waves some thirty feet high

Ride, ride, ride the wild surf
Ride, ride, ride the wild surf
Ride, ride, ride the wild surf
Gotta take that one last ride

Surf fever brings 'em here to meet the test
And hangin' 'round the beach you'll see the best
They're waxed up and ready, just a-waitin' for
The surf to build up on the northern shore

Ride, ride, ride the wild surf
Ride, ride, ride the wild surf
Ride, ride, ride the wild surf
Gotta take that one last ride

Lined up and waitin' for that next big set outside
Nothin' can stop it 'cause you
Just gotta ride, ride, ride, ride, ride

The heavies at the Pipeline are OK
But they can't match the savage surf at Waimea Bay
It takes a lot of skill and courage unknown
To catch a last wave and ride it in alone

Ride, ride, ride the wild surf
Ride, ride, ride the wild surf
Ride, ride, ride the wild surf
Gotta take that one last

Gotta take that one last ride

Ride, ride, ride the wild surf
Ride, ride, ride the wild surf
Ride, ride, ride the wild surf
Gotta take that one last ri-i-i-i-i-i-ide

The Soul Is The Rock


The Soul Is The Rock
Composer(s): Gordon Lightfoot
Performer(s): Gordon Lightfoot



The soul is the rock and the rock will not be moved
Nothing is disputed, yet nothing is disproved
And the seeds of the earth that were planted long ago
Still yield a better harvest than the rock was prone to grow
Say what you like to do what you do
Everyone's sleeping now, two by two
Bats in the roof, cats in the hall
Dust on the stairway, gnats on the wall

Big rain comin'
Big rain comin' this way
Rain on the rock
Rain on the rock
Rain on the rock

The sea is the space which the rock has displaced
The mind is some stranger that the soul has embraced
And somewhere between, in a no-man's land of dreams
The heart becomes the soldier yet the rock is not redeemed
Say what you like to do what you can
Live like a sheep, die like a lamb
Bats in the roof, cats in the hall
Dust on the stairway, gnats on the wall

Big rain comin'
Big rain comin' this way
Rain on the rock
Rain on the rock
Rain on the rock

The soul is the rock and the rock will always roll
In circles 'round the sun doing rings around the pole
When the mind is not sure what the heart will do next
The rock becomes the master and the road becomes what's left
Late one night when the moon shone down
We went to the mill on the edge of the town
She wore white, I wore black
The town was sleeping when we got back

Big rain comin'
Big rain comin' this way
Rain on the rock
Rain on the rock
Rain on the rock

The soul is the rock and the rock will not be harmed
Though man must be cheated just as women must be charmed
And the mind is the light for the heart which cannot see
The soul becomes the stranger but the rock will always be
Say what you like to do what you do
Everyone's sleeping now two by two
Bats in the roof, cats in the hall
Dust on the stairway, gnats on the wall

Oh Big rain comin'
Big rain comin' this way
Rain on the rock
Rain on the rock
Rain on the rock

The soul is the rock and the rock will not be moved
Nothing is disputed yet nothing is disproved
And the seeds of the earth that were planted long ago
Still yield a better harvest than the rock was prone to grow
And the seeds of the earth that were planted long ago
Still yield a better harvest than the rock was prone to grow

He'll mend your shoes for you, he'll mend your blues for you
With clicks of the tricks of the trade

Tick-a-tick-a-tee, tick-a-tick-a-tay
Tick-a-tick-a-tick tick tick tick tick tick tick-a-tick-a-tay

The things that gent can do to any bent old shoe
No matter how tattered and frayed
And as he sews your seams he mends your broken dreams
With his shoemaker's serenade

Tick-a-tick-a-tee, tick-a-tick-a-tay
Tick-a-tick-a-tick tick tick tick tick tick tick-a-tick-a-tay

I'd like to state his work is great
And if you wait he won't take long
And you can watch the children of the neighbourhood
Gaily dancing to his merry song

If you're along the street and hear a song that's sweet
It's not any penny arcade
It's just a cobbler gay who shoos your blues away
With the shoemaker serenade

Tick-a-tick-a-tee, tick-a-tick-a-tay
Tick-a-tick-a-tick tick tick tick tick tick tick-a-tick-a-tay
