I'm The Fool In Love With The Fool


I'm The Fool In Love With The Fool
Performer(s): Reba McEntire



You don't know me but I know who you are
Mind if I sit down?
Do I look familiar?
If I don't well I see
I'm sure you've seen me around
I know you've probably heard my name
Though we've not been introduced

I'm the fool in love with the fool
Who's still in love with you

If you've got a minute
I'll buy you a drink
I've got something to say
It might sound crazy
But last night in his sleep
I heard him call out your name
This ain't the first time
He's done it before
And it's hard to face the truth

I'm the fool in love with the fool
Who's still in love with you

I know love is a fragile thing
But I'm trying hard to make it last
But it ain't easy holding onto my dream
When he's holding onto the past

Just one more thing before I go
I'm not here to put you down
You don't love him and that's a fact
Girl I've seen you around
But you hold his heart in the palm of you hands
And it's breaking mine in two

Cos I'm the fool in love with the fool
Who's still in love with you
I'm the fool in love with the fool
Who's still in love with you

Eyes Of The Girl


Eyes Of The Girl
Composer(s): Wang Chung
Performer(s): Wang Chung



On her televison, on her mamma’s radio
She could paint a picture
More alive than all she ought to know
Her imagination running wild, she let it grow
In her imagination
Oh she felt she loved him so

Chorus:
The eyes of the girl are following me
Looking for the man that she pinned on me
The tears for a love that could never be
Now it’s all over
They’re raining on me
Oh it’s raining

It’s an empty world with a lifetime on your hands
Oh we must believe that
Something someone somewhere understands
Our imagination wants to capture what we feel
In our imagination
Everything is real

Repeat chorus

Tears fall from the eyes of the girl
And the girl is watching me
Tears fall from the eyes of the girl
And the girl is watching me

Baby, please release me from the power of your mind
Baby, please release me, leave this crazy scheme behind
Baby, please release me
Baby, please release me

Repeat chorus

Tears fall from the eyes of the girl
And the girl is watching me

I'm The Boy


I'm The Boy
(English Version: Boy Toy - 2006)
Composer(s): Serge Gainsbourg
First release by: Serge Gainsbourg - 1984



I'm the boy that can enjoy invisibility
I'm the boy le garçon qui a le don d'invisibilité

Ombre parmi les ombres
Des nocturnes torrides
Je me perds dans le nombre
Pour atteindre au sordide

I'm the boy that can enjoy invisibility
I'm the boy le garçon qui a le don d'invisibilité

Masque parmi les masques
Tragiques ou d'amertume
Le cuir noir et les casques
Scintillant sous la lune

I'm the boy that can enjoy invisibility
I'm the boy le garçon qui a le don d'invisibilité

Âme parmi les âmes
Fébriles dans leurs angoisses
Lorsque brille une lame
Ou un regard salace

I'm the boy that can enjoy invisibility
I'm the boy le garçon qui a le don d'invisibilité

Homme parmi les hommes
Dans le noir ou l'ivoire
Recherchant les symptômes
D'orgasmes illusoires

I'm the boy that can enjoy invisibility
I'm the boy le garçon qui a le don d'invisibilité

Putain parmi les putes
J'enfonce dans la fange
Où s'étreignent les brutes
Et se saignent les anges

I'm the boy that can enjoy invisibility
I'm the boy le garçon qui a le don d'invisibilité

Eyes Of Love


Eyes Of Love
Composer(s): Bob Ezrin; Trevor Rabin
Performer(s): Trevor Rabin



Are you waiting for your freedom
Or a love you just don't know?
I can see you through my window
Did you know your feelings show?
Are you looking towards the border?
Hold out for something new

Does the white, bright, right and degradation
Wear you down the way we want it to
Calling on you for confirmation
In a way that we feel is good for you

Chorus
Eyes of love look!
Down on me
When you gonna see
Eyes of love send down the key
Will you deliver me

Are you searching for an answer?
Are you questioning it all?
I can reach you
But I can't feel you
Are you living in surrender
Or just waiting for a call?

Does the white, bright, right and degradation
Wear you down the way we want it to
We will control the information
In a way that we feel is good for you

Chorus

Boy Toy (Marc Almond)


Boy Toy
(Adapted from: I'm The Boy - 1984)
Composer(s): Serge Gainsbourg; Paul Ives, Boris Bergman
Performer(s): Marc Almond & Trash Palace - 2006



A shadow within shadows
Uncounted nights of sleaze
A pointed, broken arrow
To sting, to hurt, to please
A mask within masks
Pathetic and bitter
Black leather's in to last
Shining eyes lead to glitter
I'm the boy who can enjoy invisibility
I'm the boy who can enjoy invisibility
I'm the boy, a see-through toy that no-one else can see
A soul within souls
Weakened from the fear
A blade, a look, that's all

Takes two to get that near
A man within manhood
Back room without a view
White nights long, black nights good
Wounded knees for Soldier Blue
I'm the boy who can enjoy invisibility
I'm the boy who can enjoy invisibility
I'm the boy, a see-through toy that no-one else can see
A hooker amongst the whores
On a rough ride to hell
Where the big boys play ball
While angels won't tell
I'm the boy who can enjoy invisibility
I'm the boy who can enjoy invisibility
I'm the boy who can enjoy invisibility
I'm the boy, a see-through toy that no-one else can see

Eyes Of Fire


Eyes Of Fire
Composer(s): Ritchie Blackmore;
Joe Lynn Turner; Bob Rondinelli
Performer(s): Rainbow



Hungry and wild she was born to the night
A demon, a daughter or madness
One look from her eyes could burn you alive...
Drown you in oceans of sadness
Oh - even the deadly shades of night
Won't let me hide...from her eyes of fire

Face in the mirror we meet eye to eye
Passions of eternal fire
Desperately wanting and out of control
Dancing on winds of desire
Oh - even the deadly shades of night
Won't let me hide...from her eyes of fire

Curtain of darkness, screams of delight
Taunts me with her sirens calling...
I got to be strong but I can't hang on
Into the flames I am falling...
Oh - even the deadly shades of night
Won't let me hide (no, no, no, no)
from her eyes of fire...

She keeps burning...
She keeps burning me, burning me
Burning me, burning me down
Eyes of fire

I'm Telling You Now
Composer(s): Freddie Garrity; Mitch Murray
Performer(s): Freddie & the Dreamers



I'm telling you now
I'm telling you right away
I'll be staying for many a day
I'm in love with you now

I'm telling you now
I'll say what you wanna hear
I'll be telling you for many a year
I'm in love with you now

Do you think I'm foolin'
When I say "I love you"
I love you
Maybe you'll believe me
When I'm finally through
Through, through, through

I'm telling you now
I know it's been said before
Say you love me and I will be sure
I'm in love with you now

I'm telling you now
I'm telling you right away
I'll be staying for many a day
I'm in love with you now

Do you think I'm foolin'
When I say "I love you"
I love you
Maybe you'll believe me
When I'm finally through
Through, through, through

I'm telling you now
I know it's been said before
Say you love me and I will be sure
I'm in love with you now
I'm in love with you now
I'm telling you now

Eyes Of Blue


Eyes Of Blue
Composer(s): Paul Carrack
Performer(s): Paul Carrack



I want to know how does it feel
Behind those eyes of blue
You’ve made your mistakes
And now your heart aches
Behind those eyes of blue

People may say you’ve had your chance
And let it slip away
But hard as they try
There’s a dream that won’t die
Behind those eyes of blue

Maybe once in a while
There’s a trace of a smile
Behind those eyes of blue
But it’s painfully clear
There’s a river of tears
Behind those eyes of blue

You know life is too short
For comprimising
Take a hold of your dream
And realise it

You know there’s nothing left
To stand in your way
Except yourself and I know
Though your heart's full of pain
That a hope still remains
Behind those eyes of blue

I'm Tellin' The Birds, Tellin' The Bees


I'm Tellin' The Birds, Tellin' The Bees (aka How I Love You)
Composer(s): Lew Brown; Cliff Friend
Performer(s): The Westerners
and multiple other artists



Through fields of golden flowers
Where we spent sunny hours
I'm strolling along, thinking of you

I told the four leaf clover
My lonesome days are over
I talk about you all the day through

I'm tellin' the birds, tellin' the bees
Tellin' the flowers, tellin' the trees
How I love you

I'm tellin' the moon, tellin' the sun
Tellin' the stars and tellin' each one
How I love you

I feel so happy and I show it
I want the whole wide world to know it

The shady old nook, the shadows that fall
The little old brook, I'm tellin' them all
How I love you

Tellin' the birds, tellin' the bees
Tellin' the flowers and tellin' the trees
How I love you

Tellin' the moon, tellin' the sun
Tellin' the stars and tellin' each one
How I love you

I feel so happy and I show it
I want the whole wide world to know it

The shady old nook, the shadows that fall
The little old brook, I'm tellin' them all
How I love you

Eyes Of A Stranger


Eyes Of A Stranger
Composer(s): Andy Summers
Performer(s): Andy Summers



Beautiful building
burning on 14th street
eyes of a stranger
sleeping through August heat

We could be lovers
we could even be friends
holding each other
haking the heroes end

My eyes have seen them

Everything's perfect
there's not a cloud in the sky
knife in the water
everything passing us by

We could be lovers
building a perfect wall
holding each other
taking the beautiful fall

My eyes have seen them

I'm Talking About You


I'm Talking About You
Composer(s): Chuck Berry
Performer(s): Chuck Berry
and multiple other artists



Let me tell you 'bout a girl I know
I met her walking down an uptown street
She's so fine, you know, I wish she was mine
I get shook up every time we meet

I'm talkin' 'bout you
Nobody but you
Gal, I do mean you
I'm just tryin' to get a message to you

Let me tell you 'bout a girl I know
I tell you now she looks so good
Got so much skill, such a beautiful build
She ought to be somewhere in Hollywood

I'm talkin' bout you
Nobody but you
Come on give me a cue
So I can get a message to you

Let me tell you 'bout a girl I know
Sittin' right here by my side
Lovely indeed, that's why I asked her if she'd
Promise me someday she would be my bride

I'm talkin' 'bout you
I do mean you
Nobody but you
Come on let me get a message through...

Eye Of The Zombie


Eye Of The Zombie
Composer(s): John C. Fogerty
Performer(s): John C. Fogerty



Hoo! Oooooh!

Shadows on the mountain, and the night begins to fall
Gather up the children, 'fore the darkness takes us all
Tribe has come together, standin' naked against the night
Twenty feet from the fire, the evil waits with zombie eyes

Chorus:
Eye-eye-eye eye of the Zombie!
Eye-eye-eye eye of the Zombie!

Oh! Sneakin' through the long grass on leopard feet silently
A beast already dead comes to join the dance on the zombie
Ooh! Time has come again - again the moment of truth
The terror is at hand, and there's nothin' you can do

Chorus

Oh! Hoo! Aaa-aah! Hoo! Aaa-aaa-aaaah!

From out of nowhere he's there, flashing hideous teeth
Panic in the crowd, helter-skelter, we're brought to our knees
Back to the darkness, back on the mountain he stands
You can't fight a shadow, you can't kill a dead man

I'm Stone In Love With You


I'm Stone In Love With You
Composer(s): Thom Bell; Linda Creed
Performer(s): Johnny Mathis



If I could I'd like to be, a great big movie star
Overnight sensation; drive a big expensive car
I would buy you everything your little heart desires
These things I do, 'cause I'm stone in love with you
(Stone in love with you)

If I were a businessman, I'd sit behind a desk
I'd be so successful; I would scare Wall Street to death
I would hold a meeting for the press to let them know
I did it all, 'cause I'm stone in love with you
(Stone in love with you)

I'm just a man, an average man
doing everything the best I can
But if I could, I'd give the world to you...

I'd like to someday be the owner of the first house on the moon
There would be no neighbours, and no population boom
You might say that all I do is dream my life away
I guess it's true, 'cause I'm stone in love with you
I guess it's true, 'cause I'm stone in love with you
I guess it's true, 'cause I'm stone in love with you

Eye Of The Tiger


Eye Of The Tiger
Composer(s): Jim Peterik; Frank Sullivan
Performer(s): Survivor;
and various other artists



Risin' up, back on the street
Took my time, took my chances
Went the distance
Now I'm back on my feet
Just a man and his will to survive
So many times, it happened too fast
You trade your passion for glory
Don't lose your grip on the dreams of the past
You must fight just to keep them alive

* It's the eye of the tiger
It's the thrill of the fight
Risin' up to the challenge
Of our rival
And the last known survivor
Stalks his prey in the night
And his fortune must always be
Eye of the tiger

Face to face, out in the heat
Hangin' tough, stayin' hungry
They stack the odds
Still we take to the street
Fot the kill with the skill to survive
(Repeat *)

Risin' up straight to the top
Had the guts, got the glory
Went the distance
Now I'm not gonna stop
Just a man and his will to survive
(Repeat *)

The eye of the tiger
The eye of the tiger
The eye of the tiger
The eye of the tiger

I'm Still Waiting Here For You


I'm Still Waiting Here For You
Composer(s): Paul Anka
Performer(s): Paul Anka



(You didn't even say goodbye)
So I sit here and I cry
there's nothing left for me to do
but I'm still waiting here for you

(You didn't even say you cared)
Now my love in you is shared
I don't know why you made me blue
but I'm still waiting here for you

I will walk through the storm
All my tears fell like the rain
I will long & I will mourn
Till you're back in my arms once again

(So darling, won't you hear my plea)
And please return your love to me
And then I will not be so blue
And I'll no longer wait for you

(So darling, won't you hear my plea)
Darling, hear my plea
(Please return your love to me)
Return your love to me
And I will not be so blue
And I'll no longer wait for you
(You didn't even say goodbye)

Eye In The Sky


Eye In The Sky
Composer(s): Eric Woolfson; Alan Parsons
Performer(s): The Alan Parsons Project;
and various other artists



Don't think sorry's easily said
Don't try turning tables instead
You've taken lots of Chances before
But I'm not gonna give anymore
Don't ask me
That's how it goes
Cause part of me knows what you're thinkin'

Don't say words you're gonna regret
Don't let the fire rush to your head
I've heard the accusation before
And I ain't gonna take any more
Believe me
The sun in your Eyes
Made some of the lies worth believing

Chorus:
I am the eye in the sky
Looking at you
I can read your mind
I am the maker of rules
Dealing with fools
I can cheat you blind
And I don't need to see any more
To know that
I can read your mind, I can read your mind

Don't leave false illusions behind
Don't Cry cause I ain't chnaging my mind
So find another fool like before
Cause I ain't gonna live anymore believing
Some of the lies while all of the Signs are deceiving

I'm Still Standing


I'm Still Standing
Composer(s): Elton John; Bernie Taupin
First release by: Elton John - 1983
Covered by multiple other artists



You could never know what it's like
Your blood like winter freezes just like ice
And there's a cold lonely light that shines from you
You'll wind up like the wreck you hide behind that mask you use

And did you think this fool could never win
Well look at me, I'm coming back again
I got a taste of love in a simple way
And if you need to know while I'm still standing you just fade away

Don't you know I'm still standing better than I ever did
Looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid
I'm still standing after all this time
Picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind

I'm still standing yeah yeah yeah
I'm still standing yeah yeah yeah

Once I never could hope to win
You starting down the road leaving me again
The threats you made were meant to cut me down
And if our love was just a circus you'd be a clown by now

Extremadura


Extremadura
Performer(s): Pablo Guerrero



Extremadura
campo de toros heridos
que no braman
¿Ocultarán el gemido
de su garganta?
Extremadura
hombres que rezan a Dios
para que llueva
pero ¿quién les asegura
la cosecha?
Extremadura
soledad llena de encinas
sobre campos con veredas
¿por qué se fueron los hombres
de sus tierras?
Extremadura
tierra de conquistadores
que apenas te dieron nada
Ay, mi Extremadura
amarga
Ay, mi Extremadura
levántate y anda

I'm Still Sitting Under The Apple Tree


I'm Still Sitting Under The Apple Tree
Composer(s): Sammy Cahn; Saul Chaplin
Performer(s): Doris Day



Six long years ago
My Johnny upped and marched away
He simply said, "I love you so
And I'll be back one day"

Well, I'm still sittin' under the apple tree
The apple tree, the apple tree
Still sittin' under the apple tree
With nobody else but me

The apples are ripe on the apple tree
The apple tree, the apple tree
Apples are ripe on the apple tree
Oh, where can my Johnny be

I just got a letter from Paris
It said "just a few weeks more"
I'm thinkin' of going to Paris
Just to tell him we won the War

I'm still sittin' under the apple tree
The apple tree, the apple tree
Still sittin' under the apple tree
With nobody else but me

I just got a letter from Paris
It said "just a few weeks more"
I'm thinkin' of going to Paris
Just to tell him we won the War

I'm still sittin' under the apple tree
The apple tree, the apple tree
Still sittin' under the apple tree
With nobody else but me

How many apples can you eat!

Extranjera


Extranjera
Composer(s): Miguel Gallardo
Performer(s): Miguel Gallardo



Se fue de su pueblo un día
hace tiempo ya, pensando volver
llevaba una maleta vieja
y en el corazón, toda su niñez
Igual que un ave viajera
ella tuvo que emigrar
buscando una vida nueva... Extranjera
Llegó a un país lejano
que le dio calor, y porvenir
se enamoró de un muchacho
que le dio su amor, y fue feliz
Pero al pensar en su tierra
siente ganas de llorar
y quiere volver a ella... Extrajera
Extranjera, extranjera
aún te grita el corazón
cuando suena una guitarra
o alguien canta una canción, de tu país
no lo puedes evitar... Extranjera
Después llegaron los hijos
y hubo que luchar, y hacerlos crecer
y así pasaron los años
sin dejarla ya, poder volver
Pero va al mar y aunque calle
su alma vuelve a recordar
cuando era niña en su playa... Extranjera
Extranjera, extranjera
aún te sientes en la piel
cuando te hablan de la tierra
que una vez te vio nacer, lejos de aquí
no lo puedes evitar... Extranjera
Extranjera, extranjera
aún te grita el corazón
cuando suena una guitarra
o alguien canta una canción, de tu país
no lo puedes evitar... Extranjera
Se fue de su pueblo un día
hace tiempo ya, pensando volver
