Corona De Espinas


Corona De Espinas
Composer(s): A. Segura; A. Algueró
Performer(s): Raphael



Una corona de espinas
Se clava en mí lentamente
Y ha sido una mano amiga
La que la puso aquí en mi frente
Pero por ser corona de rey
De todos los sufrimientos
Perdono de buena ley
La mano que la haya puesto
Cada espina una mentira
Que te llegaste a creer
Y cuando yo te pedía agua
Tú me diste hiel
Ya me has convertido en humo
Que la nube va a perderse
Porque yo vine a este mundo
Nada más para quererte
Él que mi reino envidiaba
Porque mi reino eras tú
Esa corona clavaba
Y tú ponías la cruz
Te diste prisa en juzgarme
Creyendo todo con creces
Y me engañaste tres veces
Y no quisiste escucharme
Ni un amigo siquiera
Que no me diera de lado
Y se lavara las manos
Como Pilatos hiciera
Pero yo no te he engañado
Tengo mis brazos abiertos
Que desclavar es sangrando
Y te abrazaran en los sueños
Pero llegará Semana Santa
Y con él iras del brazo
Mantilla negra y rosario
Paso lento, seria cara
Y tal vez en cualquier calle
Te dará un salto la sangre
Escuchando esta saeta
Sin que te la cante nadie
"Vino al mundo para amarte
Y por ti diera la vida
Pero tú le clavaste
Una corona de espinas"

Running Free


Running Free
Composers(s): Steve Harris; Paul Di'anno
Performer(s): Iron Maiden



Just sixteen, a pickup truck out of money, out of luck
I've got nowhere to call my own, hit the gas, and here I go

Chorus
I'm running free yeah, I'm running free
I'm running free yeah, Oh I'm running free

Spent the night in an L. A. jail, and listened to the sirens wail
They ain't got a thing on me, I'm running wild, I'm running free

Chorus

Puller here at the Bottle Top, whiskey, dancing, disco hop
Now all the boys are after me, and that's the way it's gonna be

There's No Back Door To Heaven


There's No Back Door To Heaven
Performer(s): Gene Autry



Some folks think they can sin all week
If they go to church on Sunday
Tell the Lord they will repent
But they sin again on Monday

They'll find out Saint Peter knows
The things that they've been doin'
And when they reach the Pearly Gates
Their soul's already ruined

There's no back door to Heaven
No back door to Heaven
There's no back door to Heaven
No, you've gotta go in through the Pearly Gates

If the Devil's temptin' you
With promises of riches
Just say "No" and turn your back
You're better off diggin' ditches

Although the work is awful hard
Your hands are gettin' callussed
When you reach that Judgement Day
You'll be livin' in a palace

There's no back door to Heaven
No back door to Heaven
There's no back door to Heaven
No, you've gotta go in through the Pearly Gates

If everyone puts in their all
And watched their reputations
Satan would have to up and quit
Hand in his resignation

If we all keep goin' our evil way
A-grumblin' and complainin'
Tryin' to find that old back door
There just ain't no explainin'

There's no back door to Heaven
No back door to Heaven
There's no back door to Heaven
No, you've gotta go in through the Pearly Gates

There's no back door to Heaven
No back door to Heaven
There's no back door to Heaven
No, you've gotta go in through the Pearly Gates

There's no back door to Heaven
No back door to Heaven
There's no back door to Heaven
No, you've gotta go in through the Pearly Gates

There's no back door to Heaven
No, you've gotta go in through the Pearly Gates

Cornflower Blue


Cornflower Blue
Composer(s): Kate Wolf
First release by: Kate Wolf - 1983



Cornflower blue, bloomin' in the mornin' sun
Tiny flowers that grew, from when our love had just begun
Long ago we planted, each dry and dusty row
How long has it taken, for the seeds of love to grow?
Cornflower blue...

Cornflower blue, like the faded shirt you wore
Standing in the shadows, when I opened up the door
The smile in your eyes, when you said hello
Held me so tenderly, and you would not let me go
Cornflower blue...

Cornflower blue, deeper than the evenin' sky
Peaceful as a river, bluer than goodbye
Blue like a diamond, when the light shines true
If love came in colors, then I'd choose this one for you
Cornflower blue...

Cornflower blue...

Running Bear


Running Bear
Composer(s): J.P. Richardson
Performer(s): Johnny Preston;
and various other artists



On the banks of the river stood Runnin' Bear young Indian brave
On the other side of the river stood his lovely Indian maid
Little White Dove was-a her name, such a lovely sight to see
But their tribes fought with each other so their love could never be

Chorus
Runnin' Bear loved Little White Dove with a love big as the sky
Runnin' Bear loved Little White Dove with a love that couldn't die

He couldn't swim the raging river 'cause the river was too wide
He couldn't reach Little White Dove, waiting on the other side
In the moonlight he could see her blowing kisses 'cross the waves
Her little heart was beating faster, waiting there for her brave

Chorus

Runnin' Bear dove in the water, Little White Dove did the same
And they swam out to each other through the swirling stream they came
As their hands touched and their lips met, the ragin' river pulled them down
Now they'll always be together in that happy hunting ground

Chorus

(With a love that couldn't die)

There's Never Been Any Reason


There's Never Been Any Reason
Performer(s): Head East



Did you see any action?
Did you make any friends?
Would you like some affection before I leave again?
I've been walking behind you since you've been able to see
There's never been any reason
For you to think about me
Did you have any bad dreams?
Did you break any glass?
Would you be my companion?
Is there even a chance?
You've been walking in circles since I've been able to cry
There's never been any reason
For never telling me why

Save my life, I'm going down for the last time
Woman with a sweet loving, better than a white line
Bring a good feeling, ain't had in such a long time
Save my life, I'm going down for the last time

Do you ever get lonely?
Do you have any fun?
Do you ever think of me?
I'm just another one
You never give me no answer
You never tell me the truth
There's never been any reason
For me to think about you
There's never been any reason
There's never been any reason

Save my life, I'm going down for the last time
Woman with a sweet loving, better than a white line
Bring a good feeling, ain't had in such a long time
Save my life, I'm going down for the last time

Cornflakes With Sugar And Teardrops


Cornflakes With Sugar And Teardrops
Performer(s): Shel Silverstein



I'm eatin' cornflakes with sugar and teardops
Since the milkman run away with you
He stole my ev'ry dream
And he forgot to leave the cream
So I'm sittin' here just wond'rin' what to do'
I'll have some coffee with sugar and teardops
I'll put teardrops and lemon in my tea
I'll make a teardrop shake and a teardrop malt
And ev'rything's gonna taste of salt
Until the day you both come back to me

Running Alone


Running Alone
Composer(s): J. Bettis; D. Hitchings;
C. Krampf; Steve Perry
Performer(s): Steve Perry



Looking down I watch the night
Running from the sun
Orphan stars and city lights
Fading one by one
Oh sweet memories
I call on you now
Two too many hearts been broke
Along this lonely road
Steel grey eyes can shine the lies
Until they look like gold
Cold city sidewalks can turn your heart to stone
The street won't defeat me
Cause I've got the will I'll survive
I don't mind runnin' alone
I believe that every soul
Has a song to sing
The spirit's locked in every man
Waiting for a wing
Oh so much is wasted
And oh so little used
The trick of the dreamer
Is keeping yourself from the blues
And I don't mind runnin'
Everyone's a hero
If you want to be
Everyone's a prisoner
Holding their own key
Every step I take
Every move I make
Always one step closer
I don't mind runnin' alone
Laughing children echo down
The concrete alleyways
Oh their voices
Calling, calling, calling yesterday
Oh sweet memories
Returning to me now
When young eyes saw clearly
Everyone's a hero
It you want to be
Everyone's a prisoner
Holding their own key
Every step I take
Every move I make
Always one step closer
I don't mind runnin' alone

Cornet De Frites


Cornet De Frites
Composer(s): Francis Lemarque; Bob Astor
Performer(s): Yves Montand



Dans un cornet de papier
Près du quai de la Rapée
Un jour on s'était payé des frites
Moi j'avais les mains graisseuses
Mais toi tu restais gracieuse
Et tu mangeais malicieus' tes frites
Pour égayer ton sourire
Des fleurs j'aurais pu t'offrir
Mais t'as préféré sans rire des frites
Voilà comment les amoureux
Font leur bonheur avec un peu
Un peu d'soleil et pour eux deux
Un cornet d'frites

Avec les beaux jours qui reviennent
Le long des quais on se promèn'
En grignotant le long d'la Seine
Un cornet d'frites
Quand on a tout mangé
On r'tourn' en acheter
Puis on rentre s'aimer
Bien vite
Voilà comment les amoureux
Font leur bonheur avec un peu
Un peu d'soleil et pour eux deux
Un cornet d'frites

J'pens' à tout ça tristement
Tout seul en plein dans l'vent
En fac' du marchand qui vend des frites
Ça coût' vingt-cinq francs l'cornet
J'ai pas l'premier sou en poche
Et ce soir la vie est moche bien moche
Mais moi je n'sais pas mendier
Je n'sais pas non plus pleurer
Tout c'que j'peux faire c'est rêver de frites
Comme autrefois quand tous les deux
Nous vivions des jours merveilleux.

Un peu d'soleil et pour nous deux
Un cornet d'frites
Et quand les beaux jours revenaient
Bras d'ssus bras d'ssous on s'en allait
Manger à deux le long des quais
Un cornet d'frites
Et puis on s'est quitté
Et tout fut effacé
L'bonheur était passé
Trop vite
Je me souviens des jours heureux
Au temps où nous allions tous deux
Grignoter sur les bords d'la Seine
Un cornet d'frites

Runnin' Wild


Runnin' Wild
Composer(s): Joe Grey;
Leo Wood; Arthur Harrington-Gibbs
Performer(s): Duke Ellington;
and various other artists



My gal and I
We had a fight
And I`m all by myself
I guess she thinks
Now that she`s gone
I`ll lay right on the shelf
I`m gonna show her she`s all wrong
No lonesome stuff for mine
I won`t sit home
All alone
She`ll soon find out that I`m:

[chorus]:
Runnin` wild
Lost control
Runnin` wild
Mighty bold
Feelin` gay
Reckless too
Care free mind
All the time
Never blue
Always goin`
Don`t know where
Always showin`
I don`t care
Don`t love nobody
It`s not worthwhile
All alone
Runnin` wild

When I first met that gal of mine
It seemed just like a dream
But when she thought she had me right
She started actin` mean
Like Mary led her little lamb
She led me all the time
Until the worm had to turn
That`s the reason I`m

Runnin` wild
Lost control
Runnin` wild
Mighty bold
Feelin` gay
Reckless too
Care free mind
All the time
Never blue
Always goin`
Don`t know where
Always showin`
I don`t care
Don`t love nobody
It`s not worthwhile
All alone
Runnin` wild

No gal will ever make a fool of me
No gal!
I mean just what I say
I ain`t the simpleton I used to be
Wonder how I got that way
Once I was full of sentiment, it`s true
But now I got a cruel heart
With all that other foolishness I`m through
Gonna play the villain part

Runnin` wild
Lost control
Runnin` wild
Mighty bold
Feelin` gay
Reckless too
Care free mind
All the time
Never blue
Always goin`
Don`t know where
Always showin`
I don`t care
Don`t love nobody
It`s not worthwhile
All alone
Runnin` wild

There's Honey On The Moon Tonight


There's Honey On The Moon Tonight
Composer(s): Haven Gillespie - Mack Davis - J. Fred Coots
Performer(s): Fats Waller
and multiple other artists



There's honey on the moon tonight
It's a sin if we waste it
Come along and let's taste it
Had it ordered for you

There's honey on the moon tonight
Tho' a little off season
It is there for a reason
For a dream to come true
We don't need a boat, a motor car or a bus
Just any old bench in any old park
Is made to order for us

There's honey on the moon tonight
And I'm out to enjoy it
What a night to enjoy it
With a honey like you

Corner Of The Sky


Corner Of The Sky Composer(s): Stephen Schwartz First release by: The Jackson 5 - 1972 Covered by multiple other artists



Everything has its season
Everything has its time
Show me a reason and I'll soon show you a rhyme
Cats fit on the window sill
Children fit in the snow
Why do I feel I don't fit in anywhere I go?
Rivers belong where they can ramble
Eagles belong where they can fly
I've got to be where my spirit can run free
Got to find my corner of the sky

Every man has his daydreams
Every man has his goals
People like the way dreams have of sticking to the soul
Thunderclouds have their lightening
Nightingales have their song
And don't you see I want my life to be something more than long?

So many men seem destined to settle for something small
but I won't rest until I know I'll have it all
So don't ask where I'm going, but listen when I'm gone
And far away you'll hear me singing softly to the dawn

Runnin' 'Round This World


Runnin' 'Round This World
Composer(s): Paul Kantner; Marty Balin
Performer(s): Jefferson Airplane



We've been runnin' 'round this world too much, girl
Tryin' not to see but now we're free of them
I understand what I understood before
But lovin' you has made me understand much more

Is it the music in your heart I love so much?
Is it the rainbows of the smile I love to touch?
There are red flowers in each kiss upon your lips
The nights I spend with you have been fantastic trips

Well I've seen you in a thousand dreams many, many days
Without your love around, I'm gonna lose my way and you'll lose yours
You know what's happening you can't sleep or think now
Shadows, they are liftin' off of you
We can walk their love where we want to

Well I've seen you in a thousand dreams many, many days
Without your love around
I'm gonna lose my way and you'll lose yours
You know what's happening you can't sleep or think now
Shadows, they are liftin' off of you
We can walk their love where we want to

There's Good Blues Tonight


There's Good Blues Tonight
Composer(s): Edna Osser - Abe Osser
Performer(s): Tommy Dorsey
and multiple other artists



Ah yes, there's good blues tonight
There's good blues tonight
You can't help but dance
'Cause the music is really right

Ah yes, there's good blues tonight
There's groovy blues tonight
A chance to romance
When the dancin' is liltin' light

Each Chuck can cheek to cheek it with his chick
No date that's late can rate the latest licks

Ah yes, there's good blues tonight
There's true blues tonight
So hold your baby tight
'Cause there's sure good blues tonight

I'm a-tellin' you, Jack, great days are back
Take the word of a bird with an ear
Gather round the stand, listen to the band
It's the blues you've been waitin' to hear

Corned Beef And Cabbage


Corned Beef And Cabbage
Composer(s): Ralph Rainger - Leo Robin
Performer(s): Helen Mack & Edward Everett Horton



I'm simply wild about you
I couldn't do without you
Corned beef and cabbage, I love you

You always set me raving
You satisfy that craving
Corned beef and cabbage, I love you

If I could have you every day
My life would have more spice
And even if I'd have to pay
I'd gladly pay the price
I see you and surrender
Oh, won't you please be tender
Corned beef and cabbage, I love you!

I'm always happy when you
Are featured on the menu
Corned beef and cabbage, I love you

Although you're so plebeian
You're fit for any queen
Corned beef and cabbage, I love you

You fill me with a strange desire
That haunts me all night through
You seem to set my heart on fire
You give me heartburn, too
Why don't you try a load
O' bicarbonate of soda
Corned beef and cabbage, I love you!

Runnin' Me Crazy


Runnin' Me Crazy
Composer(s): Blind Willie McTell
Performer(s): Blind Willie McTell



Said I'm almost crazy, and I'm all here by myself
Said I'm almost crazy, I'm all here by myself
Ah these wimmen 'bout to run me crazy
Lord she's got someone else

Lord she's 'bout to run me crazy, these reckless wimmen worryin' me
Said she's 'bout to run me crazy, reckless wimmen worryin' me
She don't have to treat me so bad, 'cause she lives in Tennessee

Lord you'll either run me crazy woman, or either make me lose my mind
Say you'll either run me crazy, or make me lose my mind
Cause you keep me worryin', troubled all the time

Lord these wimmens will run you crazy, they'll drive your heart in pain
Man wimmen will run you crazy, and drive your heart in pain
They'll spend all your money, turn around and run you insane

(Ah play it... Ah your woman sure did treat you bad boy...)

Well she spent all my money, and then she drove me outdoors
Lord she spent all my money, turn around and drove me outdoors
And I was almost crazy cause I had nowhere to go

If you get a reckless woman, man don't never let her break your rules
You run down on a reckless woman, man don't never let her break your rules
And when you know anything you'll be almost crazy with the blues

There's Gold In The Mountains


There's Gold In The Mountains
Composer(s): Bill Giant - Bernie Baum - Florence Kaye
Performer(s): Elvis Presley



There are lots of girls in the mountains
And they're worth their weight in gold
When they're in my arms with their lovin' charms
A treasure chest I hold

Well, there's gold in the mountains, love in the hills
I don't need no city women with diamonds and frills
There's gold in the mountains and oh, what scenery
The prettiest girls I ever did see

There's such beauty there in the mountains
You can feel your knees growin' weak
Every single boy feels the height of joy
When he climbs that mountain peak

Well, there's gold in the mountains, love in the hills
I don't need no city women with diamonds and frills
There's gold in the mountains and oh, what scenery
The prettiest girls I ever did see

I said there's gold in the mountains, love in the hills
I don't need no city women with diamonds and frills
There's gold in the mountains and oh, what scenery
The prettiest girls I ever did see, I ever did see, I ever did see

Corne D'aurochs


Corne D'aurochs
Composer(s): Georges Brassens
Performer(s): Georges Brassens



Il avait nom corne d'Aurochs, au gué, au gué
Tout l'mond' peut pas s'app'ler Durand, au gué, au gué

En le regardant avec un œil de poète
On aurait pu croire à son frontal de prophète
Qu'il avait les grand's eaux de Versailles dans la tête
Corne d'Aurochs

Mais que le bon dieu lui pardonne, au gué, au gué
C'étaient celles du robinet, au gué, au gué

On aurait pu croire en l'voyant penché sur l'onde
Qu'il se plongeait dans des méditations profondes
Sur l'aspect fugitif des choses de se monde
Corne d'Aurochs

C'étaient hélas pour s'assurer, au gué, au gué
Qu' le vent n'l'avait pas décoiffé, au gué, au gué

Il proclamait à son de trompe à tous les carrefours
"Il n'y a qu'les imbéciles qui sachent bien faire l'amour
La virtuosité c'est une affaire de balourds!"
Corne d'Aurochs

Il potassait à la chandelle, au gué, au gué
Des traités de maintien sexuel, au gué, au gué
Et sur les femm's nues des musées, au gué, au gué
Faisait l'brouillon de ses baisers, au gué, au gué

Et bientôt petit à petit, au gué, au gué
On a tout su, tout su de lui, au gué, au gué

On a su qu'il était enfant de la Patrie
Qu'il était incapable de risquer sa vie
Pour cueillir un myosotis à une fille
Corne d'Aurochs

Qu'il avait un p'tit cousin, au gué, au gué
Haut placé chez les argousins, au gué, au gué
Et que les jours de pénurie, au gué, au gué
Il prenait ses repas chez lui, au gué, au gué

C'est même en revenant d'chez cet antipathique
Qu'il tomba victime d'une indigestion critique
Et refusa l'secours de la thérapeutique
Corne d'Aurochs

Parce que c'était un All'mand, au gué, au gué
Qu'on devait le médicament, au gué, au gué

Il rendit comme il put son âme machinale
Et sa vie n'ayant pas été originale
L'Etat lui fit des funérailles nationales
Corne d'Aurochs

Alors sa veuve en gémissant, au gué, au gué
Coucha avec son remplaçant, au gué, au gué

Runnin' From The Devil


Runnin' From The Devil
Composer(s): Terry Turrell; Danny O'Keefe
Performer(s): Danny O'Keefe



I feel like Jack the Rabbit
In the shadow of the hawk
Got to keep on runnin'
Can't afford to walk
If I stand here like a statue
Waitin' all alone
You'll chisel my heart
Like it's made of stone

So I've got to keep on runnin'
Time to stand is through
Wish I knew who I'm runnin' from
And who
I'm runnin' to
Wish I knew

Sometimes life is heaven
Sometimes it's hell
Sometimes it's too damned
Confusin' to tell
I ain't got the answer
My life's like a riddle
And I seem to be stuck
Somewhere in the middle

So I've got to keep on runnin'
Time to stand is through
Wish I knew who I'm runnin' from
Or who
I'm runnin' to

On one end is the devil
On the other end is you
Wish I knew who I'm runnin' from
Or who
I'm runnin' to
Wish I knew
Wish I knew

I can't afford to lose this race
When there's so much at stake
I'm runnin' faster than my tears
With every step I take

This road I'm runnin'
Bound to take its toll
I'll pay with my heart
Or I'll pay with my soul

But I've got to keep on runnin'
Time to stand is through
Wish I knew who I'm runnin' from
Or who
I'm runnin' to

On one end is the devil
On the other end is you
Wish I knew who I'm runnin' from
Or who
I'm runnin' to
I wish I knew
Wish I knew
