Seaman's Blues


Seaman’s Blues
Composer(s): Ernest Tubb; Talmadge Tubb
Performer(s): Ernest Tubb
and multiple other artists



On my way to Italy from the Gulf of Mexico
Riding on a tanker, feeling mighty low
My good gal’s behind me, no loving for so long
I’m going back to Texas, for that’s where I belong

Nights are so lonely on the ocean
To much time to dream of yesterday
If only I could carry out my notion
And hit the trail for Texas right away

On my way to Italy from the Gulf of Mexico
Riding on a tanker, feeling mighty low
My good gal’s behind me, no loving for so long
I’m going back to Texas, for that’s where I belong

I never thought I was leaving
I could get so blue out on the sea
But I’ll bet you after all this grieving
Its that good old Texas soil for me

On my way to Italy from the Gulf of Mexico
Riding on a tanker, feeling mighty low
My good gal’s behind me, no loving for so long
I’m going back to Texas, for that’s where I belong

Suddenly It's Christmas


Suddenly It's Christmas
Composer(s): Loudon Wainwright III
Performer(s): Loudon Wainwright III


Suddenly it's Christmas
Right after Hallowe'en
Forget about Thanksgiving
It's just a buffet in between
There's lights and tinsel in the windows
They're stocking up the shelves
Santa's slaving at the North Pole
In his sweatshop full of elves

There's got to be a build-up
To the day that Christ was born
The halls are decked with pumpkins
And the ears of Indian corn
Dragging through the falling leaves
In a one-horse open sleigh
Suddenly it's Christmas
Seven weeks before the day

Suddenly it's Christmas
The longest holiday
When they say "Season's Greetings"
They mean just what they say
It's a season, it's a marathon
Retail eternity
It's not over till it's over
And you throw away the tree

Outside it's positively balmy
In the air nary a nip
Suddenly it's Christmas
Unbuttoned and unzipped
Yes, they're working overtime
Santa's little runts
Christmas comes but once a year
And goes on for two months

Christmas carols in December
And November, too
It's no wonder we're depressed
When the whole thing is through
Finally it's January
Let's sing "Auld Lang Syne"
But here comes another heartache
Shaped like a Valentine

Suddenly it's Christmas
The longest holiday
The season is upon us
A pox, it won't go away
It's a season, it's a marathon
Retail eternity
It's not over till it's over
And you throw away the tree

No, it's not over till it's over
And you throw away the tree
It's still not over till it's over
And you throw away the tree

Sealed With A Kiss

'Tho we gotta say goodbye for the summer
Darling I promise you this
I'll send you all my love every day in a letter
Sealed with a kiss
Guess it's gonna be a cold lonely summer
But I'll fill the emptiness
I'll send you all my dreams every day in a letter
Sealed with a kiss

I'll see you in the sunlight
I'll hear your voice everywhere
I'll run to tenderly hold you
But darling you won't be there

I don't wanna say goodbye for the summer
Knowing the love we'll miss
Oh let us make a pledge to meet in september
And seal it with a kiss

Guess it's gonna be a cold lonely summer
But I'll fill the emptiness
I'll send you all my love every day in a letter
Sealed with a kiss
Sealed with a kiss
Sealed with a kiss

Durch der Engel Alleluja
Tönt es laut bei Ferne und Nah

Rond de kribbe zingt d'engelenschaar
Slaap in hemelse rust

Stille nacht, heilige nacht
Davids zoon, lang verwacht
Wordt door d'herders begroet in een stal
Op de bergen klinkt vreugdegeschal
Heil de redder is daar

't Godlijk kind vreedzaam lacht
leefde spreekt uit zijn mondeke teer
Komt knielt allen bij 't kribbeke neer
Schenk hem allen uw hart
Schenk hem allen uw hart

Seagull


Seagull
Composer(s): Mick Ralphs; Paul Rodgers
Performer(s): Bad Company



Seagull, you fly
Across the horizon
Into the misty morning sun
Nobody asks you where you are going
Nobody knows where you're from

Now you fly
Through the sky
Never asking "Why?"
And you fly
All around
'Til somebody, yeah
Shoots you down.....

There is a man
Asking the question
"Is this really the end of the world?"
Seagull, you must have
Known for a long time
The shape of things to come

Now you fly
Through the sky
Never asking "Why?"
And you fly
All around
'Til somebody, yeah
Shoots you down....

Still, Still, Still
(Traditional)


Still, still, still
The night is cold and chill!
The virgin's tender arms enfolding
Warm and safe the Christ child holding
Still, still, still
The night is cold and chill

Schlaf, schlaf, schlaf
Mein liebes Kindlein, schlaf
Die Engel tun schön musizieren
Bei dem Kindlein jubilieren
Schlaf, schlaf, schlaf
Mein liebes Kindlein, schlaf!

Dream, dream, dream
He sleeps, the Savior King
While guardian angels watch beside Him
Mary tenderly will guide Him
Dream, dream, dream
He sleeps, the Savior King

Seabirds


Seabirds
Composer(s): Roger Waters
Performer(s): Ken Langford & Crystal Kerr



Mighty waves come crashing down
The spray is lashing high into the eagle's eye
Shrieking as it cuts the devil wind
is calling sailors to the deep
But I can hear the sound of seabirds in my ear
Surf is high an' the sea is awash
An' a haze of candy floss, glitter and beads
Rock that we sat on and watched in the sun
That was hot to touch
And the sea was emerald green
I can hear the sound of seabirds in my ear
And I can see you smile
Surf comes rushing up the beach
Now will it reach the castle wall and will it fall
Catfish dappled silver flashing
Dogfish puffing bubbles in my deep

Souviens-Toi Des Noëls De Là-Bas


Souviens-Toi Des Noëls De Là-Bas
Composer(s): Enrico Macias; A. Canfora
Performer(s): Enrico Macias


Souviens-toi des Noëls de là-bas
Toi ce soir qui est loin comme moi
Loin de notre pays brûlé par le soleil
Je suis triste ce soir loin de tout
J'ai envie de pleurer je l'avoue
Pourtant les gens d'ici
Heureux chantent Noël.

Que sont-ils devenus ce soir
Mes amis d'autrefois, qui sait
Le monde est bien trop grand
Sans eux, bien trop grand.
Peut-être bien qu'un jour, enfin
Nous nous retrouverons, qui sait!
Pour fêter à nouveau nos rêves l'an prochain

Souviens-toi des Noëls de là-bas
Ils sonnaient tant d'amour, tant de joie
Il brûlait dans nos cœurs
Ce feu qui s'est éteint
Souviens-toi des Noëls de là-bas, de chez nous
Ils sonnaient, ils chantaient tant d'amour
Tant d'espoir et de joie
Ils brûlaient comme un feu dans nos cœurs
Souviens-toi des Noëls de chez nous
Des Noëls de là-bas

Sea, Sex And Sun
Composer(s): Serge Gainsbourg
Performer(s): Serge Gainsbourg



Sea sex and sun
Excuse me
I am a french man
And I am afraid
I don't speak very well english
But
I think
That you are
The most pretty little girl
I ever knew

Sea sex and sun
And I would like
To make love with you

Sea sex and sun
For a french man
It's very difficult to explain
But
What can I do
I like your body your eyes
Baby blue

Sea sex and sun
So
I would like
To make love with you

Sea sex and sun
I am a french man
And I am used to saying
Je t'aime
How old are you
You look sixteen
But your smile
Twenty two

Sea sex and sun
Any way
I would like
To make love
With you
Sea sex and sun....

Someday At Christmas


Someday At Christmas
Composer(s): Ron Miller; Bryan Wells
Performer(s): Stevie Wonder and multiple other artists



Someday at Christmas men won't be boys
Playing with bombs like kids play with toys
One warm December our hearts will see
A world where men are free

Someday at Christmas there'll be no wars
When we have learned what Christmas is for
When we have found what life's really worth
There'll be peace on earth

Someday all our dreams will come to be
Someday in a world where men are free
Maybe not in time for you and me
But someday at Christmastime

Someday at Christmas we'll see a Man
No hungry children, no empty hand
One happy morning people will share
Our world where people care

Someday at Christmas there'll be no tears
All men are equal and no men have fears
One shinning moment my heart ran away
From our world today

Someday all our dreams will come to be
Someday in a world where men are free
Maybe not in time for you and me
But someday at Christmastime

Someday at Christmas man will not fail
Take hope because your love will prevail
Someday a new world that we can start
With hope in every heart

Someday all our dreams will come to be
Someday in a world where men are free
Maybe not in time for you and me
But someday at Christmastime
Someday at Christmastime

Sea, Dreams & Fairytales


Sea, Dreams & Fairytales
Composer(s): Toy Caldwell
Performer(s): The Marshall Tucker Band



Many people in life seem to set their sails
For dream worlds just filled with fairytales
Life comes and goes like the changing tide
Keeping the real world that they live in out of their mind

Life is like the blackness of the sea
And no one will ever understand this mystery

And heaven has a way to try and warn
The poor fool that sets his ship towards the storm
And as they head their ship into the raging wind
That's the place where most dreams usually end
(Instrumental Break)

Life is like the blackness of the sea
And no one will ever understand this mystery

Unto the steps I hope I never descend
It's too far to the top to start all over again
So set your course and be careful you're not harmed
Not like us, the sea, the dreams and fairytales
Will always live on

Some Children See Him


Some Children See Him
Composer(s): Alfred Burt; Wihla Hutson


Some children see Him lily white
The baby Jesus born this night
Some children see Him lily white
With tresses soft and fair
Some children see Him bronzed and brown
The Lord of heaven to earth come down
Some children see Him bronzed and brown
With dark and heavy hair

Some children see Him almond-eyed
This Savior whom we kneel beside
Some children see Him almond-eyed
With skin of yellow hue
Some children see Him dark as they
Sweet Mary's Son, to Whom we pray
Some children see Him dark as they
And ah! they love Him, too!

The children in each different place
Will see the baby Jesus' face
Like theirs, but bright and heavenly grace
And filled with holy light
O lay aside each early thing
And with thy heart as offering
Come worship now the infant King
'Tis love that's born tonight!

Socko The Smallest Snowball


Socko The Smallest Snowball
Composer(s): Freddie Morgan; Dave Myers
Performer(s): The Bell Sisters


You've all heard of Alice
In Wonderland
Well, we have a little story
We hope you'll understand
It's about a little snowball
We met the other day
He actually spoke to us!
And this is what he had to say

I'm Socko the smallest snowball
But I never get a chance to play
What fun for the other snowballs
To be thrown back and forth all day

The kids all built a great big fort
With snowballs big and round
But when the battle finished
I was still there on the ground

Oh, if they would only try me
I'm small but I'm so fully packed
I'm sure if I hit a window
That window would be all cracked

The sun will soon be here they say
And then I guess I'll melt away
So please somebody come and play
With Socko the smallest snowball

Oh, how I wish that I could be
On top of some big hill
Then I would roll right off and start
To roll and roll until
I'd get so big that all the kids
Would point at me and stare
And say I was the biggest, biggest
Snowball anywhere

But, I'm, Socko the smallest snowball
And it seems I never have much fun
I'll bet if somebody would throw me
I could make all the other kids run

One day a man chased all the kids
He was so big and fat
Oh, how the children laughed
When I knocked off his big silk hat

Oh, why must I be so little?
I wish I was real big instead
Then if they built a snowman
I might even be the head

With two big eyes
A great big smile
I'd make the kiddies
Laugh all the while

Please somebody, give a trial
To Socko the smallest snowball
