I Must Go


I Must Go
Composer(s): Lindsey Buckingham; Gordon Fordyce
Performer(s): Lindsey Buckingham



I've been trying just to get to you
Hey little girl, leave the little drug alone
I just can't seem to get through
Hey little girl, leave the little drug alone
You leave in the morning but you don't come back
Hey little girl, leaving me all alone
Hey little girl, you're on the wrong track
Hey little girl, leave the little drug alone

I've been waiting, contemplating
Now I know
If you're aching, heart is breaking
Let the forewinds blow

And this is why I must go
Why I must go
Why I must go
Why I must go
I must go

You just can't choose between the lie and the fact
Hey little girl, leave the little drug alone
Hey little girl, you're on the wrong track
Hey little girl, leave the little drug alone

I've been waiting, contemplating
Now I know
If you're aching, heart is breaking
Let the forewinds blow

And this is why I must go
Why I must go
Why I must go
Why I must go
I must go

And this is why I must go
Why I must go
Why I must go
Why I must go
I must go

And this is why I must go
Why I must go
Why I must go
Why I must go
I must go

And this is why I must go
Why I must go
Why I must go
Why I must go
I must go

Just What I Needed


Just What I Needed
Composer(s): Ric Ocasek
Performer(s): The Cars;
and various other artists



I don't mind you coming here
And wasting all my time
'Cause when you're standing oh so near
I kinda lose my mind

It's not the perfume that you wear
It's not the ribbons in your hair
I don't mind you coming here
And wasting all my time

I don't mind you hanging out
And talking in your sleep
It doesn't matter where you've been
As long as it was deep, yeah

You always knew to wear it well, and
You look so fancy I can tell
I don't mind you hanging out
And talking in your sleep

Chorus:
I guess you're just what I needed
(Just what I needed)
I needed someone to feed
I guess you're just what I needed
(Just what I needed)
I needed someone to bleed

I don't mind you coming here
And wasting all my time, time
'Cause when you're standing oh so near
I kinda lose my mind, yeah

It's not the perfume that you wear
It's not the ribbons in your hair
I don't mind you coming here
And wasting all my time

Chorus x2

So bleed me
You're just what I needed
You're just what I needed
You're just what I needed

Transfiguraciones


Transfiguraciones
Composer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute - Pau Riba
Performer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute



Subo al Verbo
partido por tres
tres tiempos que me dividen
en pasado, futuro y
hoy
o
yóh teh amoh
y bajo a tu sustantivo
Amor, multiplicado
por tres
Transfigúrate en tres que seis son

Primer parto
Lo Uno se rompió
y Di vino a ser
Aquí empieza el Verso
Desde entonces
el Universo es Di verso

Segunda parte
non, impar, transgresor
de sí mismo
Persigue el hombre
la Unidad
en su ecuación imposible
Transfigúrate en tres que seis son
Muda la cara
y quieto el paisaje
en el amor
conocer por qué tú
no eres yo
Yo que sin ti no soy
Celeste pasión del verbo único
así en el cielo como en el infierno
amor cambiamos, amor

I Missed Me


I Missed Me
Composer(s): Bill Anderson
First recording/First release by: Jim Reeves - 1960
Covered by multiple other artists



Last night was the worst night of my life no doubt
'Cause while I stayed at home, someone else took you out
I cried 'cause I love you with all of my might
And I missed me, how I missed me at your house last night

I missed holding hands, walking out on your lawn
I missed the sweet kiss that was mine for so long
Were you happy with new arms wrapped around you so tight
Did you miss me, like I missed me at your house last night

Did the neighbours say they noticed anything strange
Like a diff'rent car parked in your drive for a change
Did they watch as he kissed you beneath the porch light
And did they miss me like I missed me at your house last night

Just Walking In The Rain


Just Walking In The Rain
Composer(s): Johnny Bragg;
Buddy Killen; Robert Riley
Performer(s): Johnnie Ray;
and various other artists



Just walking in the rain
Getting soaking wet
Torturing my heart by trying to forget

Just walking in the rain
So alone and blue
All because my heart still remembers you

People come to their windows
They always stare at me
Shaking their heads in sorrow
Saying, who can that fool be

Just walking in the rain
Thinking how we met
Knowing things have changed
Somehow I can't forget

Transatlantic Lullaby


Transatlantic Lullaby
Composer(s): Geoff Wright - Robert McDermott
Performer(s): Adelaide Hall
and multiple other artists



New York’s skyscrapers are sleeping
Dawn comes creeping on
Street lamps are shining more clearly
Night has nearly gone
Papa and mama both are yawning now
All their goodnights will soon be said
It won’t be long until the morning now
And time to go to bed

Soft Manhattan evenings fall
A velvet dust envelops all
On Hudson River, distant tugboats cry
Ship to ship and shore to shore
The waters make a shining floor
And hum a transatlantic lullaby

The sky is silky dark, it’s cool in Central Park
The traffic cars all clanging past
A busy day is done, the lights fade one by one
And Broadway goes to bed at last

Tomorrow seems a distant beam
And still the rocky waters gleam
And hum a sleepy transatlantic lullaby

The sky is silky dark, it’s cool in Central Park
The charley cars all clanging past
A busy day is done, the lights fade one by one
And Broadway goes to bed at last

Tomorrow seems a distant beam
And still the rocky waters gleam
And hum a sleepy transatlantic lullaby

I Missed Again


I Missed Again
Composer(s): Phil Collins
Performer(s): Phil Collins



So you finally came right out and said it girl
What took you so long
It was in your eyes, that look's been there for too long
I'm waiting in line
Would you say if I was wasting my time

Or did I miss again
I think I missed again oh

I think about it from time to time
When I'm lonely and on my own

I try to forget and yet, still rush to the telephone
I'm waiting in line
Would you say if I was wasting my time

Or did I miss again
I think I missed again oh
Or did I miss again
I think I missed again oh

Well it feels like something you want so bad
Then you think you've got it, but it's something you already had
You can feel it all around you, but it's something you just can't touch
And I feel it coming at me
I can feel it coming at me

Or did I miss again
I think I missed again oh
Or did I miss again
I think I missed again

I'm waiting in line, but would you say if I was wasting my time

Or did I miss again...

Just Walk In My Shoes


Just Walk In My Shoes
Composer(s): H. Mastor; K. Miller
Performer(s): Gladys Knight & The Pips;
and various other artists



Well I just can't get myself together anymore
I believe I need the love I had
Oh baby, we had it all

Walk in my shoes
This hurt inside is too much for me
Just walk in my shoes
You'll see I want the love that used to be
Try on my heartache
Go ahead and try it on for size
Just walk in my shoes
And you'll see through someone else's eyes

What you've done to me
I fell apart when you walked out
And I just can't get myself together anymore
I believe I need the love I had
Oh baby, we had it all

Why don't you walk and walk into my shoes
And you'll wear a smile that isn't real
Just walk in my shoes
And you'll know how broken up I feel
Try out each new day
Wear the cloak of loneliness I know
Just walk in my shoes
Or do you since you let me go

Keep on walkin', walk on, ye-e-e-a-a-ah
You got to keep on walking, baby

Darlin' I fell apart
Baby, baby, baby, when you walked out
And I just can't get myself together anymore
'Cause I need, I need the love we had
Oh baby, why did you go

Why don't you walk an' walk an' walk an' walk into my shoes
Ye-e-e-a-ah, you gotta, gotta, gotta walk in my shoes
Well, why doncha walk, you gotta, gotta........

Trampled Under Foot


Trampled Under Foot
Composer(s): Jimmy Page - John Paul Jones - Robert Plant
First release: Led Zeppelin - 1975
Covered by multiple other artists



Greasy slicked down body, groovy leather trim
I like the way you hold the road, mama, it ain't no sin
Talkin' 'bout love, talkin' 'bout love, talkin' 'bout love
Trouble-free transmission, helps your oil flow
Mama, let me pump your gas, mama, let me do it all
Talkin' 'bout love, talkin' 'bout love, talkin' 'bout love
Dig that heavy metal underneath your hood
Baby, I could work all night, believe I've got the perfect tools
Talkin' 'bout love, talkin' 'bout love, talkin' 'bout love
A model built for comfort, really built with style
Specialist tradition, mama, let me feast my eyes
Talkin' 'bout love, talkin' 'bout love, talkin' 'bout love
Factory air-conditioned, heat begins to rise
Guaranteed to run for hours, mama it's a perfect size
Talkin' 'bout love, talkin' 'bout love, talkin' 'bout love
Groovin' on the freeway, gauge is on the red
Gun down on my gasoline, I believe I'm gonna crack a head
Talkin' 'bout love, talkin' 'bout love, talkin' 'bout love
I can't stop talkin' about
Come to me for service every hundred miles
Baby, let me check your points, fix your overdrive
Talkin' 'bout love, talkin' 'bout love, talkin' 'bout love
Fully automatic, comes in any size
Makes me wonder what I did, before we synchronized
Talkin' 'bout love, talkin' 'bout love, talkin' 'bout love
Feather-light suspension, coils just couldn't hold
I'm so glad I took a look inside your showroom doors
Talkin' 'bout love, talkin' 'bout love, talkin' 'bout love
Oh, I can't stop talkin' about love

Ukelele Lady


Ukelele Lady
Composer(s): Gus Kahn; Richard Whiting
Performer(s): Vaughn Deleath
and multiple other artists



I saw the splendour of the moonlight
On Honolulu Bay
There's something tender in the moonlight
On Honolulu Bay

And all the beaches are filled with peaches
Who bring their ukes along
And in the glimmer of the moonlight
They love to sing this song

If you like Ukulele Lady
Ukulele Lady like a'you
If you like to linger where it's shady
Ukulele Lady linger too

If you kiss Ukulele Lady
While you promise ever to be true
And she sees another Ukulele
Lady foolin' 'round with you

Maybe she'll sigh (an awful lot)
Maybe she'll cry (and maybe not)
Maybe she'll find somebody else
By and by

To sing to when it's cool and shady
Where the tricky wicky wacky woo
If you like Ukulele Lady
Ukulele Lady like a'you

She used to sing to me by moonlight
On Honolulu Bay
Fond memories cling to me by moonlight
Although I'm far away

Some day I'm going, where eyes are glowing
And lips are made to kiss
To see somebody in the moonlight
And hear the song I miss

If you like Ukulele Lady
Ukulele Lady like a'you
If you like to linger where it's shady
Ukulele Lady linger too

If you kiss Ukulele Lady
While you promise ever to be true
And she sees another Ukulele
Lady foolin' 'round with you

Maybe she'll sigh (an awful lot)
Maybe she'll cry (and maybe not)
Maybe she'll find somebody else
By and by

To sing to when it's cool and shady
Where the tricky wicky wacky woo
If you like Ukulele Lady
Ukulele Lady like a'you

Just Visiting


Just Visiting
Composer(s): Lynsey De Paul
Performer(s): Lynsey De Paul



When we first began
And man received his present name
We were worshipping the sun and moon
And hoping it would rain
Thinking we were puppets
of some universal power
We expected his arrival any hour

Suddenly it came
A chariot across the sky
Roaring like an angry tiger
Giving us a great surprise
And what was surely God indeed
Stepped out a burning plane
Proceeding to explain

I'm not your maker
An angel or a saint divine
Not your Creator
Giving you a holy sign
I am a spaceman
And I'm just visting the earth
You are an apeman
And I've been visiting you
Ever since your birth

Man was but a child
And little did he understand
And he couldn't write this story down
So his children heard it second hand
And what was pure and simple
Now a miracle became
The spaceman was its name

I'm not your maker
An angel or a saint divine
Not your Creator
Giving you a holy sign
I am a spaceman
And I'm just visting the earth
You are an apeman
And I've been visiting you
Ever since your birth

And now we've joined the race
Travellers in outer-space
Very soon we too might have to say

I'm not your maker
An angel or a saint divine
Not your Creator
Giving you a holy sign
I am a spaceman
And I'm just visting your earth
You are an apeman
And I've been visiting you
Ever since your birth...

Tramp And The Young Girl


Tramp And The Young Girl
Performer(s): Mark Almond



Down by the river, foggy and grey
Only a young girl kneeling to pray
Down in the water, muddy and cold
Eyes red from crying
A torn, ragged soul

Once so young and gay
Once in dreams of yesterday

Down by the river, foggy and grey
Only an old tramp shuffles his way
He saw that the water, that the water so wide
Held the young body of a love that had died

Once so young and fair
Once, and now despair

Down by the reeds, they found him next day
Dead like the young girl, in the water so grey
That muddy old river took two of a kind
A tramp and a young girl
That love left behind

Those happy hours I spent with you That lovely afterglow But most of all I miss you so Your sweet caresses each rendezvous Your voice so soft and low But most of all I miss you so You once filled my heart There's no regrets, no, no fears And now you'll find my heart Filled to the top with tears I'll always love you and want you too How much, how much you'll never know But most of all I miss you so But most of all I miss you so

I Miss You Honey, Miss You All The Time


I Miss You Honey, Miss You All The Time
Composer(s): Charles K. Harris



I can see a picture of a cottage
In a valley 'neath a Southern sky
I can see her standing 'mid the flowers
Where we plighted troth, my love and I
Just a lovers quarrel, then we parted
She may love another, I suppose
But my heart goes out to her with yearning
And I wonder if my Honey knows

Violets are growing in the meadow
Honey suckles twine around her door
I can see her in the grassy orchard
Over her the pink white blossoms pour
There is something calls me back to Honey
'T is no use, I'm going home today
Take her in my arms once more and tell her
How I longed to see her and to say

Oh, how I miss you Honey, miss you
Could I only kiss you, kiss you
If I could but hold you in my arms again
For, oh, my heart is sad and weary
Just for you, my little dearie
How I miss you, honey, miss you all the time

Just Try And Picture Me Back Home In Tennessee


Just Try And Picture Me Back Home In Tennessee
Composer(s): William Jerome; Walter Donaldson
Performer(s): Johnny Maddox



I'm so happy, oh, so happy, don't you envy me?
I leave today at three for sunny Tennessee
dad and mother, sis' and brother, waiting for me there
and at the table, next to Mable, there's an extra chair

At the station my relations all will be on hand with a hometown band
the best band in the land
Hezekiah and Maria they'll hand me alaugh
and my old dad will be so glad, he'll kill the fatted calf

Back home in Tennesse just try to picture me right on my mother's knee
she thinks the world of me
all I can think of tonight is a field of snowy white
banjos ringing, darkies singing, all this world seems bright
The roses round the door make me love mother more
I'll see my sweetheart Flo and friends I used to know
Why, they'll be right there to meet me
Just imagine how they'll greet me when I get back
when I get back to my home in Tennessee

Heh, made me feel kind of good, you know
Told me, told me that you did ask about me

Heh, remember how I used to always say how lucky I done been
You know being they got that lottery, I hit it
I’d like to kind of make up for
A lot of things that just seemed not to go right
Don’t want you to think I’m trying to buy back your love or your friendship
But now I feel I got a chance to kind of make things up to you a little bit
Heh, enough about you and me
How’s my little son?
Hmm, he ever ask about me?
Just a little bit
does he still like to go down by the supermarket?
If I could just
If I could just see you
Can’t really say what you mean or what you want over the phone
I swear I miss you
You done heard it ten times or more but
I swear I done changed
I swear I done changed

(Oh, I, Oh, I) I miss you, baby

(Miss you, miss you) Oh, Lord)
Miss you, baby, yeah, baby, yeah, baby, yeah, baby

Just To See Her


Just To See Her
Composer(s): Jimmy George; Lou Pardini
Performer(s): Smokey Robinson;
and various other artists



Just to see her
Just to touch her
Just to hold her in my arms again one more time

If I could feel her warm embrace
See her smiling face
Can't find anyone to take her place
I've got to see her again

I would do anything
I would go anywhere
There's nothing I wouldn't do
Just to see her again

I can't hide it
I can't fight it
It's so hard to live without the love she gave to me

Doesn't she know it
I tried hard not to show it
Can't I make her realize that she really needs me again

I would do anything
I would go anywhere
There's nothing I wouldn't do
Just to see her again
She brightened up my everyday
Made me feel so good in every way
If I could have her back to stay
I've got to see her again

Trainwreck Of Emotion


Trainwreck Of Emotion
Composer(s): Alan Rhody - Jon Vezner
Performer(s): Lorrie Morgan; Del McCoury



I can see it all so clearly as I'm looking back
I was headed down the wrong way on a one-way track
There must be a million chances that a fool could take
Well this fool took every one and never hit the brakes
I'm lying in the rubble cinder,smoke and ash
My heart still poundin' from the impact of the crash
I can see tomorrow's headlines
"Heartbroke from blind devotion"
Just another victim of a
Trainwreak of emotion
We were burnin' like a furnace as he poured on the coal
Drive wheel a churnin',I mean love was on a roll
Faster and faster I swear we left the ground
But when that smoke had cleared he was nowhere around
I'm lying in the rubble cinder,smoke and ash
My heart still poundin' from the impact of the crash
I can see tomorrow's headlines
"Heartbroke from blind devotion"
Just another victim of a
Trainwreak of emotion
Rumors are flyin' about how our love had failed
But I know it was him that pulled the switch
And left me derailed
I'm lying in the rubble cinder,smoke and ash
My heart still poundin' from the impact of the crash
I can see tomorrow's headlines
"Heartbroke from blind devotion"
Just another victim of a
Trainwreak of emotion
Just one more victim of a
Trainwreck of emotion
Trainwreck of emotion
Trainwreck of emotion

I Miss You (Graham Nash)


I Miss You
Composer(s): Graham Nash
Performer(s): Graham Nash



Thinking of myself today
I'm sorry that you went away
I'm feeling down
What can I say?
I miss you
I'm holding back and it's not fair
I think I'm trying not to care
of broken hearts I've had my share
but I miss you.

What did we do last Saturday night?
Dining at your mother's on whipped cream and wine
make me feel good all the time
make me feel good all the time
make me feel good
good
