I See The Rain


I See The Rain
Composer(s): William Campbell; Thomas McAleese
Performer(s): Marmalade; Susanna Hoffs



Beautiful day I'd like to lie on the green lawn
The ducks are congregating round, round the lily pond
And the cows have all gone rinning home to put there coats on
Stay indoors, while it pours, till to-morrow

I see the rain again, I must complain again, why does the rain let me down
Will you try to make it sunny in the morning?

Five to ten, now it's time for the weather
The sun will shine and in it's time, get better
But it won't last for long, clouds are spreading over London town
Stay indoors, while it pours, till to-morrow

I see the rain again, I'll take the blame again, I see the rain lets you down
But I'm gonna' make it sunny in the morning?

Eddie


Eddie
Composer(s): Richard O'Brien Performer(s): Jonathan Adams



Dr. Von Scott:
From the day he was born
He was trouble
He was the thorn
In his mother's side
She tried in vain

The Criminologist:
But he never caused her nothing but shame

Dr. Von Scott:
He left home the day she died
From the day she was gone
All he wanted
Was rock and roll porn
And a motorbike
Shooting up junk

The Criminologist: He was a low down cheap little punk
Dr. Von Scott: Taking everyone for a ride

(When Eddie said he didn't like his teddy)
(You knew he was a no good kid)
(But when he threatened your life)
(With a switch blade knife)

Dr. Frank-N-Furter: What a guy
Janet: Makes you cry
Dr. Von Scott: And I did

Columbia:
Everybody shoved him
I very nearly loved him
I said, "Hhey listen to me
Stay sane inside insanity"
But he locked the door
And threw away the key

Dr. Von Scott:
But he must've been drawn
Into something
Making him warn me
In a note which reads

(What's it say? What's it say?)

Eddie:
I'm out of my head
Oh hurry, or I may be dead
They mustn't carry out their evil deeds

(When Eddie said he didn't like his teddy)
(You knew he was a no good kid)
(But when he threatened your life)
(With a switch blade knife)

Dr. Frank-N-Furter: What a guy
Janet: Makes you cry
Dr. Von Scott: And I did

(When Eddie said he didn't like his teddy)
(You knew he was a no good kid)
(But when he threatened your life)
(With a switch blade knife)

Dr. Frank-N-Furter: What a guy (Whoo-ho-ho)
Janet: Makes you cry (Hey, hey, hey)
Dr. Von Scott: And I did (Eddie)

Trouble's Back In Town


Trouble's Back In Town
Composer(s): Dick Flood
Performer(s): The Wilburn Brothers



Look who’s coming down the street
Big brown eyes and smile so sweet
Oh-oh, trouble’s back in town

I feel a sad old memory
coming back to torture me
Oh-oh, trouble’s back in town

Funny, she still looks the same
Time has brought so little change
Why did she turn up again
Just when my heart was on the mend?

Wish I didn’t love her so
Better hide until she goes
Oh-oh, trouble’s back in town

Funny, she still looks the same
Time has brought so little change
Why did she turn up again
Just when my heart was on the mend?

Wish I didn’t love her so
Better hide until she goes
Oh-oh, trouble’s back in town

I See The Moon


I See The Moon
(Traditional)
Performer(s): The Mariners



Over the mountain over the sea
Back where my heart is longing to be
Please let the light that shines on me
Shine on the one I love

I see the moon the moon sees me
Down through the leaves of the old oak tree
(Please)
Please let the light that shines on me
Shine on the one I love

Over the mountain over the sea
Back where my heart is longing to be
Please let the light that shines on me
Shine on the one I love

I kissed the rose the rose kissed me
Fragrant as only a rose can be
(Sing a little louder miss)
Please take the kiss that comforts me
Back to the one I love

(Everybody altogether)
Over the mountain over the sea
Back where my heart is longing to be
Please let the light that shines on me
Shine on the one I love

(Everybody once again)
Over the mountain over the sea
Back where my heart is longing to be
Please let the light that shines on me
Shine on the one I love

Écoutez


Écoutez
Composer(s): P. Groscolas - G. Thibaut
Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday



Écoutez
Un nouveau mort vient par ici
C'est une pioche qui nous le dit

Écoutez
Dans la terre on creuse un grand lit
Un lit pour éternelle nuit

Écoutez
Quand un instant le vent s'arrête
On entend pousser des violettes

Écoutez
C'est le jeune corps d'opélie
Qui a des fleurs, donne sa vie

I've been a bad bad boy
and I know I should be good
A bad boy

not a man but a fool

you know I love every woman
every woman you can bet

Trouble on double time

It's driving me out of my mind
driving me out of my mind
driving me out of my mind

I See Red


I See Red
Composer(s): Tim Finn
Performer(s): Split Enz



When my baby's walking down the street
I see red, I see red, I see red
How could someone wicked walk around free
I see red, I see red, I see red
I see red, I see red (red!), I see red

I respect your wishes
You gave me such precious hours
What to do without you
Squeezed me out of your life
Down the drain like molten toothpaste
I feel used and spat out
Poor old me

When my baby's walking down the street
I see red, I see red, I see red
How could someone wicked walk around free
I see red, I see red, I see red
I see red, I see red (red!), I see red

I'm fed up with crying
My despair is dying,
Turning into rage, day by day
Green before you met me
In the pink when you let me love you
I was blue when you let me down
Black and Blue

When my baby's walking down the street
I see red, I see red, I see red
How could someone wicked walk around free
I see red, I see red, I see red
I see red, I see red (red!), I see red

Go!

I see red, I see red, I see red...

Combien de routes un garçon doit-il faire
Avant qu'un homme il ne soit?
Combien l'oiseau doit-il franchir de mers
Avant de s'éloigner du froid?
Combien de morts un canon peut-il faire
Avant que l'on oublie sa voix?

Écoute mon ami
Écoute dans le vent
Écoute, la réponse dans le vent

Combien de fois doit-on lever les yeux
Avant que de voir le soleil?
Combien d'oreilles faut-il aux malheureux
Avant d'écouter leurs pareils?
Combien de pleurs faut-il à l'homme heureux
Avant que son cœur ne s'éveille?

Écoute mon ami
Écoute dans le vent
Écoute, la réponse dans le vent

Combien d'années faudra t-il à l'esclave
Avant d'avoir sa liberté
Combien de temps un soldat est-il brave
Avant de mourir oublié?
Combien de mers franchira la colombe
Avant que nous vivions en paix?

Écoute mon ami
Écoute dans le vent
Écoute, la réponse dans le vent
Écoute, la réponse est dans le vent

I See Only Sunshine


I See Only Sunshine
Composer(s): Alex Chilton
Performer(s): Box Tops



I sat last night at midnight
Blinded by the daylight
Sitting at the window, thinking about you and me
I see our lives together
I see our love forever
I picture in my heart every night how it's gonna be
Yea, Lord now...

I see only sunshine
For you and me, for years to come, now
I can see it, can't you see it too?
We can share the nighttime
‘Til the morning’s shining squints our eyes, now
Years of loving me and years of loving only you

I catch myself in daydreams
Thinking about the hard times we've seen
We've been through it; there ain't nothing but good times ahead
I walk into walls, forget things
Forget too match my clothes, my ears ring
It circles in my head, did you listen to what I said, now?
Yea, Lord now…

(chorus)

Ecos De Sociedad


Ecos De Sociedad
Performer(s): Pablo Guerrero



Ella iba impecable, elegantísima
con un temblor de ilusión en la sonrisa
que otorga a las amigas como un regalo caro
Ella iba radiante, radiantísima
aunque a veces le nazca ambarina y purísima
una furtiva lágrima de cristal veneciano
El iba luciendo su viril elegancia
su bigotito gris, su educación en Francia
y la fábrica azul de su suegro en Manresa
El iba orgulloso de su aristocracia
que le ha permitido, y no es una desgracia
amarrarse al duro banco de una galera burguesa
Y comienza la boda y de repente estalla
un ligero aleteo de sonrisas, medallas
tules, lazos, satenes y condecoraciones
Y alguna tosecilla provoca una mirada
sobre alguna señora que enseguida indignada
abanica elegante las malas intenciones
La catedral es un barco que navega despacio
sobre un mar de rosas de terciopelo lacio
y atraca en el escote de una joven doncella
Y en el altar barroco sueñan los serafines
fuentes de porcelana con luces y delfines
y paseos dorados en las noches de estrellas
Y qué bien habla el abate y la novia era estrecha
y ahora está muy gordita y la leve sospecha
como un licor suavísimo les llena de contento
Y ya la ceremonia como chicle se estira
como un chicle de música mientras que gira y gira
la noria hueca de los pensamientos
Y el padre de la novia está feliz y piensa
lo elegante que hará un escudo a su empresa
y la madre a su lado de vez en cuando llora
Y un caballero enjusto de cultura esmerada
deposita un pañuelo en la mano enguatada
diciendo: "España y yo somos así, señora"

Trouble Man


Trouble Man
Composer(s): Marvin Gaye
First release: Marvin Gaye - 1972
Covered by multiple other artists



I've come of heart, baby, but now I'm cool
I didn't make it surely, playin' by the rules
I've come of heart, baby, but now I'm fine
I'm checkin' trouble, sure movin' down the line
I've come of heart, baby, but that's OK
'Cause Trouble Man don't get in my way

I've come of heart, baby
I've been for real, baby
Gonna keep movin', gonna roll to town
I've come of heart, come on, get down
There's only 3 things for sure:
Taxes, death and trouble

This I know, baby, this I know, child
Yeah, let the sweat through you, baby
Get me singin', yeah, yeah, ooo

I've come of heart, baby, I had to fight
Took him on madness with all my might
I've come of heart, I had to win
Then start all over and then again
I've come of heart, but that's OK
'Cause Trouble Man don't get in my way

I've heard some places and I've seen some places
I've never had tensions, I give my directions
When people say; that's OK, they don't bother me
I'm ready to make it, don't care 'bout the weather
Don't care 'bout no trouble, got myself together
No laughin', no cryin', protection's all around me

I've come of heart, baby
I've been for real, baby
With the Trouble Man
Movin', goin' tight
I've come of heart, come on, get down
There's only 3 things for sure
Taxes, death and trouble

This I know, baby, baby
This I know, baby, baby
Hey now, let it sweat, baby

I've come of heart, but now I'm cool
I didn't make it, baby, playin' by the rules
I've come of heart, baby, but now I'm fine
I'm checkin' trouble, sure movin' down the line

(Huhuhuuuuuhuuuuu) (Huuuuuhuuuuu) (In the Morning Light) (I see hope in the morning light) (I see hope in the morning light) Another long night caresses round me Shows no pity knows no shame To share its lifetime of endless moments Till I can touch the light again Everything changes, everything 'round us Everything matters after all Let something move me and I will follow Not walking blind but walking tall Where does it say that we must hide Inside this cold divide where nothing good can grow, oho When has a life been black and white Where it's only wrong or right, I never felt so low Deliver me from my sad story (I see hope in the morning light) Come to me in love and glory (I see hope in the morning light) Bringing peace and understanding (I see hope in the morning light) Emotional and undemanding (I see hope in the morning light) This heat that's growing from deep inside me Lighted by your burning flame But through the darkness when sleep surrounds me I'll wake up crying out your name There are no reasons, no lame excuses To lock up freedom and desire With love the power you came right through me And turned this ember to a fire (Deliver me from my sad story) (I see hope in the morning light) (Come to me in love and glory) (I see hope in the morning light) Where does it say that we must hide Inside this cold divide where nothing good can grow When has a life been black and white Where it's only wrong or right, I never felt so low Deliver me from my sad story (I see hope in the morning light) Come to me in love and glory (I see hope in the morning light) Bringing peace and understanding (I see hope in the morning light) Emotional and undemanding (I see hope in the morning light) Deliver me from my sad story (I see hope in the morning light) Oh, come to me in love and glory (I see hope in the morning light) Bringing peace, love and understanding (I see hope in the morning light) Emotional and undemanding (I see hope in the morning light) Oh, deliver me from my sad story (I see hope in the morning light) Come to me in love and glory (I see hope in the morning light) Bringing peace and understanding (I see hope in the morning light)

Eclipse Oculto


Eclipse Oculto
Composer(s): Caetano Veloso Performer(s): Caetano Veloso



Nosso amor não deu certo, gargalhadas e lágrimas De perto fomos quase nada Tipo de amor que não pode dar certo na luz da manhã E desperdiçamos os blues do Djavan Demasiadas palavras, fraco impulso de vida Travada a mente na ideologia E o corpo não agia como se o coração tivesse antes que optar Entre o inseto e o inseticida Não me queixo, eu não soube te amar Mas não deixo de querer conquistar Uma coisa qualquer em você, o que será? Como nunca se mostra o outro lado da lua Eu desejo viajar do outro lado da sua Meu coração galinha de leão não quer mais amarrar frustração Ó eclipse oculto na luz do verão Mas bem que nós fomos muito felizes só durante o prelúdio Gargalhadas e lágrimas até irmos pro estúdio Mas na hora da cama nada pintou direito É, minha cara, falar, não sou proveito sou pura fama Nada tem que dar certo, nosso amor é bonito Só não disse ao que veio, atrasado e aflito E paramos no meio sem saber os desejos aonde é que iam dar E aquele projeto ainda estará no ar? Não quero que você fique fera comigo Quero ser seu amor, quero ser seu amigo Quero que tudo saia como som de Tim Maia, sem grilos de mim Sem desespero, sem tédio, sem fim

Trouble Is My Middle Name


Trouble Is My Middle Name
Composer(s): John Gluck Jr. - Neval Nader
Performer(s): Bobby Vinton; Brook Brothers; The Four Pennies



Hello, little girl, goodbye, little girl
I'm not your kind of guy, little girl
I'll only make you cry, little girl
Trouble (trouble, trouble, trouble, trouble) is my middle name

Each kiss, little girl, is sweet, little girl
They sweep me off my feet, little girl
But no more must our lips meet, little girl
Trouble (trouble, trouble, trouble, trouble) is my middle name

I'm just a born wanderer driftin' by one day
Each place that I've been, heartbreak moved in
So I'll move on my way

In time, little girl, you'll find, little girl
I've been really kind, little girl
Not changing your name to mine, little girl
Trouble (trouble, trouble, trouble, trouble) is my middle name

Not changing your name to mine, little girl
Trouble (trouble, trouble, trouble, trouble) is my middle name

Oh, trouble (trouble, trouble, trouble, trouble) is my middle name...
Yes, trouble (trouble, trouble, trouble, trouble) is my middle name

I Second That Emotion


I Second That Emotion
Composer(s): Smokey Robinson; Alfred W. Cleveland
First release by: Smokey Robinson & The Miracles - 1967
Covered by multiple other artists



Maybe you want to give me kisses sweet
But only for one night with no repeat
Maybe you'd go away and never call
And a taste of honey is worse than none at all (oh little girl)

Oh little girl, in that case I don't want no part
That would only break my heart
Oh, but if you feel like loving me
If you got the notion
I second that emotion
Said, if you feel like giving me
A lifetime of devotion
I second that emotion

Maybe you think that love would tie you down
You ain't got the time to hang around
Maybe you think that love was made for fools
So it makes you wise to break the rules

Oh little girl, in that case I don't want no part
That would only break my heart
Oh, but if you feel like loving me
If you got the notion
I second that emotion
Said, if you feel like giving me
A lifetime of devotion
I second that emotion

Maybe you want to give me kisses sweet
But only for one night with no repeat
Maybe you'd go away and never call
And a taste of honey is worse than none at all (oh little girl)

Oh little girl, in that case I don't want no part
That would only break my heart
Oh, but if you feel like loving me
If you got the notion
I second that emotion
Said, if you feel like giving me
A lifetime of devotion
I second that emotion

Maybe you think that love would tie you down
You ain't got the time to hang around
Maybe you think that love was made for fools
So it makes you wise to break the rules

Oh little girl, in that case I don't want no part
That would only break my heart
Oh, but if you feel like loving me
If you got the notion
I second that emotion
Said, if you feel like giving me
A lifetime of devotion
I second that emotion

Well, if you feel like giving me
A lifetime of devotion ...

Eclipse De Mar


Eclipse De Mar
Composer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute - Joaquín Sabina
Performer(s): Juan Carlos Baglietto; Guadalupe Pineda; Joaquín Sabina



Hoy dice el periodico
que ha muerto una mujer que conocí
que ha perdido en su campo el Atletic
y que ha amanecido nevando en París
que han pillado un alijo de coca
que a pisis y acuario
les toca el vinagre y la miel
que apoyo el parlamento europeo
una ley a favor de abolir el deseo
que fallo la vacuna anti sida
que un golpe de estado ha fallado en la luna
y movidas asi
Pero nada decia el diario de hoy
de esa sucia pasion, de este lunes marrón
del obseno sabor a cubata de ron de tu piel
del olor a colonia barata del amanecer
de este cuarto sin medias ni besos
de este frio de agosto en los huesos
como un bisturí

Hoy amor como siempre
en el diario no hablaban de ti, ni de mi
hoy amor igual que ayer como siempre
en el diario no hablaban de ti
en el diario no hablaban de ti
en el diario no hablaban de ti, ni de mi

Hoy dijo la radio
que han hallado muerto al niño que yo fuí
que han pagado un pasote de pelas
por una acuarela falsa de Dalí
que han caido la bolsa en el cielo
que siguen las putas en huelga de celo en Moscú
que subio la marea que fusilan mañana a Jesus de Judea
que crecio el ahujero de ozono
que el padre de hoy es el padre del mono
del año 2000

Hoy amor como siempre...

Trouble Is A Man


Trouble Is A Man
Composer(s): Alec Wilder First recording/First release: Peggy Lee - 1946/Sarah Vaughan With Ted Dale and Orch. - 1947 Covered by multiple other artists



A woman gets all the blame
For everything that happens under the sun
But when it comes to being bad
A woman's not the only one

Trouble is a man
A man who loves me no more, no more
Trouble is a man
A man I'll always adore

Nothing good to say about him
Still I hate a day without him
Why should he have to be
The one, my only

Trouble is a man
A man who's handsome and tall, so tall
Trouble is a man
Who's for himself and that's all

After all we've done, he didn't mean it
Now I understand, I should have seen it
Trouble is a man
Trouble is a man
Trouble, trouble

I Say A Little Prayer For You
English Version: I Say A Little Prayer
Composer(s): Burt Bacharach; Hal David
Performer(s): Raphael



Mi amor, cada noche
Repito otra vez tu nombre
I say a little prayer for you
Te busco en mis sueños
Me muero por ser tu dueño
I say a little prayer for you
Forever, forever, you'll stay in my heart
And I will love you
Forever, and ever, we never will part
Oh, how I’ll love you
Together, together, that's how it must be
To live without you
Would only be heartbreak for me
Si tú comprendieras
Que paso la noche entera
I say a little prayer for you
Yo nunca te olvido
Están mis cinco sentidos
I say a little prayer for you
Forever, forever, you'll stay in my heart
And I will love you
Forever, and ever, we never will part
Oh, how I’ll love you
Together, together, that's how it must be
To live without you
Would only be heartbreak for me
Mi amor no te miento
Ya nadie me importa más que tú
Abrázame
Nadie más que tú
Quiero que digas
Cuanto me amas tú
Cuanto me quieres

Echoes Of Love


Echoes Of Love
Composer(s): Patrick simmons - Willie Mitchell - Earl Randle First release by: The Doobie Brothers - 1977



I hear your voice everywhere
It's echoes of love
Making me look back over my shoulder
Echoes of love are started all over

Echoes of love
Keeps on haunting
I'm out of control
Keeps on burning
Echoes of love are out of control
Bringing back love I used to hold

Darlin', since you went away
Think about you every day
So many memories
Got to get the best of me

Recalling the times
I used to hold you
I just wouldn't do
What I was supposed to
I've done things
I'd like to undo
Now darlin' it's you
I'd like to run to

Echoes of love
Keeps on haunting
I'm out of control
Keeps on burning
Echoes of love are out of control
Bringing back love I used to hold

Echoes of love
Echoes of love
Love, echoes of love
Keeps on haunting
Echoes of love, echoes of love
Keeps on burning
Echoes of love
