As With Gladness, Men Of Old
As With Gladness, Men Of Old
Composer(s): William Chatterton Dix
Performer(s): The Choir of Trinity College
and multiple other artists
As with gladness, men of old
Did the guiding star behold
As with joy they hailed its light
Leading onward, beaming bright
So, most glorious Lord, may we
Evermore be led to Thee
As with joyful steps they sped
To that lowly manger bed
There to bend the knee before
Him whom heaven and earth adore
So may we with willing feet
Ever seek thy mercy-seat
As they offered gifts most rare
At that manger rude and bare
So may we with holy joy
Pure and free from sin's alloy
All our costliest treasures bring
Christ, to Thee, our heavenly King
Holy Jesus, every day
Keep us in the narrow way
And, when earthly things are past
Bring our ransomed souls at last
Where they need no star to guide
Where no clouds thy glory hide
In the heavenly country bright
Need they no created light
Thou its light, its joy, its crown
Thou its sun which goes not down
There forever may we sing
Alleluias to our King

Suave Niña
Suave Niña
Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez
Suave niña
mía desde que lo que sueño es tu verdad
tu presencia es irrompible por su suavidad
Suave niña
de anatomía que es capaz de asesinar
parte tu deseo en dos y dame una mitad
Mi suave niña de memoria
estás durmiendo en mi tacto
mi suave niña de memoria
estás rompiéndome las sienes
mi suave niña de memoria
estás llevándome por una carretera larga
como a un aro de rodar
Oh, suave niña, suave niña
niña suave y mía
Suave niña
estoy buscando nuevos nombres para tí
ya he gastado todos los susurros que aprendí
Suave niña
me has convertido en un objeto de colgar
soy una repisa en tus salones de cristal
Mi suave niña de memoria
estás sirviendo de alcancía
mi suave niña de memoria
estás guardando mis tesoros
mi suave niña de memoria
estás ardiendo entre mis manos invisibles
que recorren, ambiciosas, tu espejismo
Oh, suave niña, suave niña
niña suave y mía
Suave niña
podrás no recordarme en todo un día feliz
pero sé que soy inevitable al dormir
Suave niña
niña de suave melodía con que amar
suavemente suave, niña de mi suavidad
Oh, suave niña, suave niña
niña suave y mía

You Better Sit Down Kids
You Better Sit Down Kids
Composer(s): Sonny Bono
Performer(s): Cher; Roy Drusky; Glen Campbell;
Wayne Newton; Gary Puckett & The Union Gap; Liza Minnelli
Better sit down kids
I'll tell you why, kids
You might not understand, kids
But give it a try, kids
Now how should I put this
I've got something to say
Your mother is staying
But I'm going away
No, we're not mad, kids
It's hard to say why
Your mother and I
Don't see eye to eye
Chorus:
Say your prayers before you go to bed
Make sure you get yourself to school on time
I know you'll do the things your mother asks
She's gonna need you most to stay in line
Keep in mind your mother's gonna need your help
A whole lot more than she ever did before
No more fights over little things
Because I won't be here to stop them anymore
I know you don't want this, neither do we
But sometimes things happen that we can't foresee
Now try to be calm kids, and don't look so sad
Just cause I am leaving, I'll still be your dad
Just remember I love you though I'm not here
Just call if you need me, and I'll always be near
Chorus
Well I have to go now so kiss me goodbye
My eyes are just red kids, I'm too big to cry

Suave
Composer(s): Fernando Pessoa - Luis Eduardo Aute
Performer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute
Es suave el día
Suave el viento
Es suave el sol y suave el cielo
¡Que fuera así mi pensamiento!
¡ser yo tan suave es lo que anhelo!
Pero entre mí y las suaves glorias
del cielo y del aire sin mí
hay muchos sueños y memorias...
¡lo que yo quiero es ser así!
Ah, el mundo es lo que a él traemos
todo existió porque existí
hay porque vemos
¡Y hay mundo porque yo lo vi!

You'd better run

Long gone, (my time is long gone), long gone

Su, Me Robaste Todo
Su, Me Robaste Todo
Composer(s): Miguel Mateos
Performer(s): Miguel Mateos
Su, me robaste todo
Su, me convertiste en lodo
y tuve que especular
con dinero inmoral
Su, siete años a tu antojo
invertí y perdí, fuera de mí
Su, mi mente aún trabaja
Su, aunque no des ventaja
no me podrás quebrar
ni vender, ni comprar
Su, soy clase media baja
En tanto mi canto
se parte con el llanto
del pibe que vende Geniol
Espero y quiero
que el mundo, el mundo entero
sepa de mi dolor por...
Su, vas a pedir la hora, ja ja ja
Su, tu cama no enamora
me mandaste a peliar
contra Neptuno en el mar
Su, láser versus boleadoras
Lennon, León, un solo corazón
Oh! Su, Oh! Su
Hay mucho en juego
hay un destino nuevo
y ollas para destapar
Hay ganas, hay onda
que nadie más se esconda
por miedo a andar con la verdad
Oh! Su, Mambrú
se va a pasar al club
de los que aman la libertad
tan solo libertad
Oh! Su

You Better Not Do That
You Better Not Do That
Composer(s): Tommy Collins
Performer(s): Tommy Collins;
and various other artists
I'm just a plain ol' country kid and I like to do what's right
But just like any other boy I like to hold 'em tight
Sometimes I got resistence, but no matter how I try
When a cute little gal just looks at me with a gleam in her eye
And I say "You better not do that", and she say "Why?"
And I say "Because you just better not do that"
When I was in the country school I always had a girl
They'd laugh and giggle awful cute and put me in a whirl
And everyday at recess time they followed me outside
I'd scratch my head and wonder are they ever satified
I'd say "Honey, you better not do that" and she'd say "Why?"
And I'd say "Because you just better not do that"
(Instrumental Break)
When I was a little older, I went to the country dance
I went to have a little fun, I wasn't thinkin' about romance
But the dim lights just lured 'em on and they'd snuggle up to me
I knew I couldn't last too long, 'cos I'm human you see
And I'd say "Baby, you better not do that", and she'd say "Why?"
And I'd say "Because you just better not do that"
Now that's the way my life has been, ain't it a cryin' shame
How much longer can I last if I keep playin' a game
Sometimes I don't know who I am, don't they know what they're doin'
I'm afraid in years to come that girls will be my ruin
And I'll say "Now honey, you better not do that", and she'll say "Why?"
And I'll say "You just better not do that", and she'll say "Why-y-y?"
And I'll say "Oh...well...oh...aah...oh...well it's alright if you do that"

Su Di Noi
Su Di Noi
Composer(s): E. Ghinazzi - P. Barabani - D. Milani
Performer(s): Pupo
Su di noi ci avresti scommesso tu
su di noi mi vendi un sorriso tu
se lo vuoi cantare, sognare, sperare così
Su di noi gli amici dicevano
no, vedrai, è tutto sbagliato
Su di noi nemmeno una nuvola
su di noi l'amore è una favola
su di noi se tu vuoi volare
lontano dal mondo, portati dal vento
non chiedermi dove si va
Noi due respirando lo stesso momento
per fare l'amore qua e là
Mi stavi vicino e non mi accorgevo
di quanto importante eri tu
adesso ci siamo, fai presto, ti amo
non perdere un attimo in più
Su di noi nemmeno una nuvola
su di noi l'amore è una favola
su di noi se tu vuoi volare...
Su di noi ancora una volta dai
su di noi se tu vuoi volare
ti porto lontano nei campi di grano
che nascono dentro di me
Nei sogni proibiti di due innamorati
nel posto più bello che c'è
Lontano dal mondo, portati dal vento
respira la tua libertà
giocare un momento poi corrersi incontro
per fare l'amore qua e là
Su di noi nemmeno una nuvola
su di noi l'amore è una favola
su di noi se tu vuoi volare...
Mi stavi vicino e non mi accorgevo
di quanto importante eri tu
adesso ci siamo, fai presto, ci siamo
non perdere un attimo in più
Su di noi, ancora una volta dai
su di noi, di te non mi stanco mai
Su di noi, ancora una volta dai
su di noi, di te non mi stanco mai
Noi, solo noi, su di noi, solo noi
noi, solo noi, su di noi, solo noi

You ask me to give up the hand of the girl I love
You tell me, I'm not the man she's worthy of
But who are you to tell her who to love?
That's up to her, yes, and the Lord above
You better move on
Well I know you can buy her fancy clothes
But I believe she's happy with me without those things
Still you beg me to set her free
But my friend, that will never be
You better move on
Now I don't blame you for loving her
But can't you understand, man, she's my girl
And I, never never ever gonna let her go
`Cuz I, yeah, I love her so
I think you better go now , I'm getting mighty mad
You ask me to give up the only love I've ever had
Maybe I would, oh, but I love her so
I'm never gonna let her go
You better move on

And There Were Shepherds
And There Were Shepherds
Composer(s): Johann Sebastian Bach
Performer(s): Robert Shaw
And there were shepherds in the same country
Abiding in the field, keeping watch by night over their flock
And lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them
And the glory of the Lord shone round about them
And they were sore afraid
And the angel said to them...
Be not afraid
Behold, for I bring good tidings of great joy
Which shall be to all the people
For unto you this day a Saviour is born
Which is Christ the Lord, in the city of David
Break forth, O beauteous heav'nly light
And usher in the morning
Ye shepherds, shrink not with affright
But hear the angel's warning
This child, now weak in infancy
Our confidence and joy shall be
The power of Satan breaking
Our peace eternal making

Style Kills
Style Kills
Composer(s): Gary Numan - Robert Palmer
Performer(s): Robert Palmer
I see you got yourself a brand new bag
You had enough of the imitation drag
Although you're leaping to the latest thing
You can't ignore the suspicion of a hallow ring
Big bills
Cheap thrills
Style kills
You say you set your standards way too high
So you convincingly effect a compromise
Some unsuspecting body's gonna pay
When you discover that you can't always
Have your way
Big pain, big pills, style kills
If he won't you will style kills
You say your lover's gotta a lot of nerve
'Cause he won't keep you in the style that you deserve
You kid yourself you're only marking time
Till you fulfill the revenge in the back
Of your mind
Clear out, no frills, style kills
You never take the blame for your mistakes
Why should you give anyone an even break
If he won't - you will style kills

You Belong To The City
You Belong To The City
Composer(s): Glenn Frey; Jack Tempchin
Performer(s): Glenn Frey;
Eric Carmen; Eagles
The sun goes down
The night rolls in
You can feel it starting all over again
The moon comes up
And the music calls
You're getting tired of staring at the same four walls
You're out of your room
And down on the street
You can feel the crowds through the midnight heat
The traffic roars
And the sirens scream
You look at the faces, its just like a dream
You don't know where you're going
You don't care where you've been
'Cause you belong to the city
You belong to the night
living in a river of darkness, beneath the neon light
You belong to the city
you belong to the street
Its in your moves, its in your blood
You're a man of the street
When you said goodbye
You were on the run
Tryin' to get away from the things you'd done
Now you're back again
And you're feeling strange
So much has happened, but nothing has changed
You still don't know where you're going
Nobody cares where you've been
'Cause you belong to the city...
You can see it
You can face it
You can feel it
You can taste it
You can hear it
You're getting near it
You're gonna make it
'Cause you can take it
You belong to the city

An Angel Came Down
An Angel Came Down
Composer(s): Paul O'Neill - Jon Oliva
Performer(s): Trans-Siberian Orch.
An angel came down one night to the earth
A mission from God to find out the worth
Of everything that His children had done
Since that winter night, the birth of His son
And then a sound filled the night in the cold winter air
And in the midst of his flight it was holding him there
And as he looked towards the Earth for the source of this sound
On that cold winter night, it was pulling him down
To bring something back this angel was told
That no one could touch, but angels could hold
So on that night, when the sky had cleared
Among all the stars an angel appeared
And then a sound filled the night in the cold winter air
And in the midst of his flight it was holding him there
And as he looked towards the Earth for the source of this sound
On that cold winter night, it was pulling him down
An angel returned that night through the sky
But time it was short, he had to decide
And so as he flew back over the land
A gift for his Lord was there in his hand
It was the glow of a light, it was the heart of a song
It was the tear of a child where they never belonged
It was the wish of a soul on an old neon light
And the Lord smiled at him on that cold winter night
Kyrie among nations
Kyrie among nations
Kyrie among nations
Here the bells ring through the night
Kyrie among nations
Kyrie among nations
Kyrie among nations
Hear as they ring through the night
Listen to the bells as they ring, listen to the message they bring
Listen to the sound as they sing as one voice in the night
Hoping that we'll all understand every dream we have's in our hands
And for every bell may they ring all through the night
Kyrie among nations
Kyrie among nations
Kyrie among nations
Hear as they ring through the night
Kyrie among nations
Kyrie among nations
Kyrie among nations
Here as they ring through the night
Listen to the bells as they ring, listen to the message they bring
Listen to the sound as they sing as one voice in the night
Hoping that we'll all understand every dream we have's in our hands
And for every bell may they ring all through your life
And so with his story over and our bottle nearly through
I asked, "Did this really happen?"
He swore every word was true
Then he said, "I see you're puzzled, for your mind tells you to doubt me
That my story can't be true, but your heart tells you it might be"
He then asked, did it entertain me and I admitted it had charm
Then he said, "Perhaps you have learned something, or at worst I've done no harm"
Then he rose up from his chair and he said it's time that he should leave
"But may God keep and protect you this and every Christmas Eve"
Then he left through the front door and I ran out to ask him back
But he was already gone and stranger still, he left no tracks
So I walked back to my home recalling all I'd heard and seen
And for the first time since my childhood, that night I dreamed a Christmas dream
Merry Christmas!

You belong to my heart
Now and forever
And our love had its start
Not long ago
We were gathering stars while a million guitars played our love song
When I said "I love you", every beat of my heart said it, too
't Was a moment like this
Do you remember?
And your eyes threw a kiss
When they met mine
Now we own all the stars and a million guitars are still playing
Darling, you are the song and you'll always belong to my heart
(instrumental break)

Stupid Cupid You're a real mean guy
I'd like to clip your wings so you can't fly
I'm in love and it's a crying shame
And I know that you're the one to blame
Hey Hey Set me Free
Stupid Cupid stop picking on me
I can't do my homework and I can't think straight
I meet her every morning bout half past eight
I'm acting like a lovesick fool
You've even got me carrying your books to school
Hey Hey Set me Free
Stupid Cupid stop picking on me
You messed me up for good right from the very start
Hey now, go play Robin Hood
With somebody else's heart
You got me jumping like a crazy clown
And I don't feature what your putting down
Since I kissed her loving lips of wine
The thing that bothers me is that I like it fine
Hey Hey set me free
Stupid Cupid stop picking on me
You got me jumping like a crazy clown
And I don't feature what your putting down
Since I kissed her loving lips of wine

See the pyramids along the Nile
Watch the sun rise on a tropic isle
Just remember, darling, all the while
You belong to me.
See the marketplace in old Algiers
Send me photographs and souvenirs
But remember when a dream appears
You belong to me.
I'll be so alone without you
Maybe you'll be lonesome too---and blue
Fly the ocean in a silver plane
Watch the jungle when it's wet with rain
Just remember till you're home again
You belong to me
