She Will Have Her Way
She Will Have Her Way
Composer(s): Neil Finn
Performer(s): Neil Finn
I might be old but I'm someone new she said
I'm so sore that I could cry always
in the night lay your tired arms
she will have her way
somehow I will still believe her
it's the life I've been frightened of she said
deathly silence and especially the dark
feels like I am heavy and my spirit has died
she will have her way
somehow I will still believe her
she will have her way
one day I will come back
still no end in sight
though I travel far and wide
a dying man is doing time
thinker, soldier terrified
and she will have her way
somehow I will still believe her
she will have her way
one day I will come back

She Wears Red Feathers
She Wears Red Feathers
Composer(s): Bob Merrill
Performer(s): Guy Mitchell
(She wears red feathers and a huly huly skirt)
(She wears red feathers and a huly huly skirt)
She lives on just cocynuts and fish furrom the sea
A rose in her hair a gleam in her eyes
And love in her heart for me
I worked in a London bank
Respectable position
From nine to three they serve you tea
But doom your disposition
Each night at the music hall
Travelogues I'd see
And once a pearl of a native girl
Kept smiling right at me
She wears red feathers and a huly huly skirt
She wears red feathers and a huly huly skirt
She lives on just cocynuts and fish furrom the sea
A rose in her hair a gleam in her eyes
And love in her heart for me
Goodbye to the London bank
I started in the sailin'
The fourteenth day from Mandalay
I spied her from the railin'
She knew I was on my way
Waited and was true
She said you son of an Englishman
I've dreamed each night of you
She wears red feathers and a huly huly skirt
She wears red feathers and a huly huly skirt
She lives on just cocynuts and fish furrom the sea
A rose in her hair a gleam in her eyes
And love in her heart for me
I went to her ma and pa
And said I loved her only
And they both said we could be wed
Oh what a ceremony
An elephant brought her in
Placed her by my side
While six baboons got out bassoons
And played here comes the bride
I'm back here in London town
And though it may sound silly
She's here with me and you should see
Us walk down Picadilly
The boys at the London bank
Kinda hold their breath
She sits with me and sips her tea
Which tickles them to death
She wears red feathers and a huly huly skirt
She wears red feathers and a huly huly skirt
She lives on just cocynuts and fish furrom the sea
A rose in her hair a gleam in her eyes
And love in her heart for me

She Wears My Ring
She Wears My Ring
Composer(s): Felice Bryant; Boudleaux Bryant
Performer(s): Jimmy Bell
and multiple other artists
She wears my ring to show the world that she belongs to me
She wears my ring to show the world she's mine eternally
With loving care I placed it on her finger
To show my love for all the world to see
This tiny ring is a token of tender emotion
An endless pool of love that's as deep as the ocean
She swears to wear it with eternal devotion
That's why I sing, because she wears my ring
She swears to wear it with eternal devotion
That's why I sing, because she wears my ring
This tiny ring is a token of tender emotion
An endless pool of love that's as deep as the ocean
She swears to wear it with eternal devotion
That's why I sing, because she wears my ring
That's why I sing, because she wears my ring

She Was Waitin' For Her Mother At The Station In Torino And You Know I Love You Baby But It's Getting Too Heavy To Laugh
She Was Waitin' For Her Mother At The Station In Torino And You Know I Love You Baby But It's Getting Too Heavy To Laugh
Performer(s): Shawn Phillips
The glow
Around your face
When you see
The lightning race
I know
I'm very near
And I can hear
The thunder
A woman
Of perplexity
A woman
For eternity
A woman
Of the land
A woman
For a man
I'm down
On my knees
And I'm saying
Please believe me
It's hard
To fall out
Of love
Completely
It's harder
To find a way
To come back
Discreetly
To speak
Of things anew
To weep
In quiet blue
Brocade upon your bed
Memories should fade
At least of you
A scepter
Of ice and fire
A specter
Of my desire
A girl-child
Of such loveliness
The woman
Of my emptiness
A woman
Of famed
Renown
A woman
Who kicks the clown
A woman
Of the land
A woman
For a man

She Was Poor, But She Was Honest
She Was Poor, But She Was Honest (aka It's The Same The Whole World Over)
(Traditional)
Performer(s): Billy Bennett
She was poor, but she was honest
Though she came from 'umble stock
And an honest heart was beating
Underneath her tattered frock
'Eedless of 'er Mother's warning
Up to London she 'ad gone
Yearning for the bright lights gleaming
'Eedless of temp-ta-shy-on
But the rich man saw her beauty
She knew not his base design
And he took her to a hotel
And bought her a small port wine
Then the rich man took 'er ridin'
Wrecker of poor women's souls
But the Devil was the chauffeur
As she rode in his Royce Rolls
In the rich man's arms she fluttered
Like a bird with a broken wing
But he loved 'er and he left 'er
Now she hasn't got no ring
It's the same the whole world over
It's the poor what gets the blame
It's the rich what gets the pleasure
Ain't it all a bloomin' shame?
Time has flown, outcast and helpless
In the street she stands and says
While the snowflakes fall around 'er
"Won't you buy my bootlaces?"
See him riding in a carriage
Past the gutter where she stands
He has made a stylish marriage
While she wrings her ringless hands
See him there at the theatre
In the front row with the best
While the girl that he has ruined
Entertains a sordid guest
See 'er on the bridge at midnight
She says "Farewell, blighted love"
There's a scream, a splash......Good 'eavens!
What is she a-doing of?
So they dragged 'er from the river
Water from 'er clothes they wrung
They all thought that she was drownded
But the corpse got up and sung
It's the same the whole world over
It's the poor what gets the blame
It's the rich what gets the pleasure
Ain't it all a bloomin' shame?

She Was Only Seventeen (He Was One Year More)
She Was Only Seventeen (He Was One Year More)
Composer(s): Marty Robbins
Performer(s): Marty Robbins; Ray Conniff
(Seventeen, and he was one year more)
(Seventeen, and he the girl adored)
(Seventeen)
She was only seventeen and he was one year more (Seventeen)
She loved him with all her heart, and he the girl adored
But all their friends believed they were too young to know the score
`Cause she was only seventeen and he was one year more (Seventeen)
Are they old enough to know if love will last for life (Seventeen)
Isn't he too young to be a husband, her a wife
Well, in the past I bet it's happened more than once before
When someone else was seventeen, another one year more
Do we have the right to question love that seems so strong
As long as God has no objections, there can be no wrong (Seventeen)
Let us be the first to wish them all the very best (Seventeen)
Let us hope their love is strong enough to meet the test
'Cause like I say, I bet it's happened more than once before
When someone else was seventeen, another one year more
(Do we have the right to question love that seems so strong)
(As long as God has no objection, there can be no wrong)
(Seventeen)
Let us be the first to wish them all the very best (Seventeen)
Let us hope their love is strong enough to meet the test
'Cause like I say, I bet it's happened more than once before
When someone else was seventeen, another one year more (Seventeen)

She Was Happy Till She Met You
She Was Happy Till She Met You
Composer(s): Charles Graham; Monroe H. Rosenfeld
Performer(s): S.H. Dudley
'Twas a bright and sunny day
When a young wife went away from her husband
Who had wrung her heart with pain
On the table lay a note with the simple words she wrote
"Good bye! I hope we'll never meet again"
Unto her mother she returned
The home for which she'd often yearned
For every spark of love for him and fled
There he sought her out at last with repentance for the past
But her mother met him at the door and said
"I have come to say goodbye," said the husband with a sigh
"Just let me take her to my heart again"
But the mother said: "Too late
All her love has turned to hate
So go your own way, your pleadings are in vain
"She is my wife!" the husband cried
"You shall not take her from my side
The law forbids you part us we are wed!"
"But you've broken every vow, she is yours no longer now
My daughter shall not go!" the mother said
She was happy till she met you
And the fault is all your own
If she wishes to forget you
You will please let her alone
She has come to her old mother
Just because there is no other
She'll be happy in her own sweet home

She Was Born To Be My Unicorn
She Was Born To Be My Unicorn
Composer(s): Marc Bolan
Performer(s): T. Rex
She was born to be my Unicorn
Robed head of ferns
Cat child tutored by the learned
Darkly ghostish host
Haggard vizier of the moats
Seeks the sandled shores of Gods
Baby of the moors
The night-mare's mauve mashed mind
Sights the visions of the blinds
Shoreside stream of steam
Cooking kings in cream of scream
Jackdaw winter head
Cleans his chalcedony bed
A silken word of kind
Was returned from Nijinsky Hind
Giant of Inca hill
Loosed his boar to gorely kill
The dancing one horned waife
In doublet of puffin-bill
The beast in feast of sound
Kittened lamb on God's ground
Ridden by the born of horn
Jigged like a muse on life's lawn

She Wandered Through The Garden Fence
She Wandered Through The Garden Fence
Composer(s): Gary Brooker; Keith Reid
Performer(s): Procol Harum
She wandered through the garden fence
and said 'I've brought at great expense
a potion guaranteed to bring
relief from all your suffering'
And though I said 'You don't exist'
she grasped me firmly by the wrist
and threw me down upon my back
and strapped me to her torture rack
And, without further argument
I found my mind was also bent
upon a course so devious
it only made my torment worse
She said, 'I see you cannot speak
is it your voice that is too weak?
Is it your tongue that is to blame?
Maybe you cannot speak for shame
Or has your brain been idle too
and now it will not think for you?'
I hastened to make my reply
but found that I could only lie
And like a fool I believed myself
and thought I was somebody else
But she could see what I was then
and left me on my own again

She Thinks That She'll Marry
She Thinks That She'll Marry
Composer(s): Judy Rodman; Duane Orender
Performer(s): Judy Rodman
He keeps her in diamonds, he brightens her days
He flies her in style to the cities he plays
But she's not aware that in every town
Others warm to his favours when she's not around
He took her to Paris, he took her to Spain
He took her for granted, wouldn't give her his name
She lives all alone in a house on a hill
An' thinks that she'll marry, but she never will
He told her that someday, he'd make her his own
They'd take a vacation together in Rome
Then she spoke these words, though they tore her apart:
"I'm tired of you playing these games with my heart"
"Oh, I've given you the best years of my life
You've given nothin', but maybe some lies
I've lived all alone in a house on a hill
Thinkin' we'd marry, but we never will"
So time brought it's wisdom, now clearly she sees
She's learned to be happy an' she loves bein' free
That he longs to hold her an' make her his wife
'Cause there was no happiness left in his life
She lives all alone in a house on a hill
With good friends an' good times, her life is filled
In his lonely mansion, he longs for her still
An' he thinks that she'll marry, but she never will
No, she never will

Quinta Del Sordo
Quinta Del Sordo
Performer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute
Soñando que soñaba me encontré
al lado de un extraño personaje
un viejo entre el Capricho y el Desastre
fundido a una paleta y a un pincel
Pintaba, ensimismado, en la pared
un fresco con los locos más infames
revueltos en un sórdido aquelarre
o acaso un esperpéntico burdel
Quinta del sordo
casa de locos
el Sueño de la Razón
produce monstruos
En medio de la insólita reunión
batíase el de la Triste Figura
en duelo contra un órgano que Schumann
tocaba con la oreja de Van Gogh
Bailaba junto al fuego Maldoror
un vals con Luis II de Baviera
debajo de los pétalos que Ofelia
regaba desde un éxtasis de Artaud
Quinta del sordo
casa de locos
el Sueño de la Razón
produce montruos
Sufría una iluminación Rimbaud
y en ella se le aparecía Hamlet
montado a lomos del Marqués de Sade
tirado por Calígula y Nerón
Atada por el Capitán Ahab
dejábase violar Juana la Loca
por Hölderlin y Nietzche en plena euforia
un poco más allá del bien y el mal
Quinta del sordo
casa de locos
el Sueño de la Razón
produce monstruos
Transido por aquella bacanal
de reyes, criminales y poetas
caí desvanecido en aquella quimera
del otro lado de la realidad
De pronto aquella orgía se esfumó
y al despertar me vi mirando a Goya
dormido bajo el Reino de las Sombras
del sueño que soñaba mi razón
Quinta del sordo
casa de locos
el Sueño de la Razón
produce monstruos

She Thinks I Still Care
She Thinks I Still Care
Composer(s): Dickey Lee
First release by: George Jones - 1962
Covered by multiple other artists
Just because I asked a friend about her
Just because I spoke her name somewhere
Just because I dialled her number by mistake today
She thinks I still care
Just because I haunt the same old places
Where the memory of her lingers everywhere
Just because I'm not the happy guy I used to be,
She thinks I still care
Oh if she's happy thinkin' I still need her
Then let that silly notion bring her cheer
Oh how could she ever be so foolish
And where would she get such an idea?
Just because I asked a friend about her
Just because I spoke her name somewhere
Just because I saw her, then went all to pieces
She thinks I still care
She thinks I still caaaaaaa-aaaaaaaaaaaaaaare

Composer(s): Luis Arcaraz; M. Molina Montes
Performer(s): Javier Solis;
and various other artists
Por vivir en quinto patio
desprecian mis besos
un cariño verdadero
sin mentiras, ni maldad
El amor cuando es sincero
se encuentra lo mismo
en las torres de un castillo
que en humilde vecindad
Nada me importa
que critiquen la humildad de mi cariño
el dinero no es la vida
es tan sólo vanidad
Y aunque ahora no me quieras
yo sé que algún día
me darás con tu cariño
toda la felicidad
Nada me importa
que critiquen la humildad de mi cariño
el dinero no es la vida
es tan sólo vanidad
Y aunque ahora no me quieras
yo sé que algún día
me darás con tu cariño
toda la felicidad

Quisiera
Quisiera
Composer(s): R. de León; M. Baratas; A. Areta
Performer(s): Raphael
En el jardin deshabitado
Sin el calor de tu presencia
El viento gris llora a mi lado
La melodia de tu ausencia
Quisiera sentir de nuevo la alegria
De ver tus ojos noche y dia
Apasionados por la espera
Quisiera estar presente entre tus cosas
Suspiros, pajaros y rosas
En tu jardin y en primavera
Cambiar presente por pasado
Y darte en todo la razon
Y ver mi amor alborotado
Mi solitario corazon
Quisiera contar contigo una por una
Todas las manchas de la luna
Como soliamos hacer
Quisiera volver de nuevo a tu querer

Performer(s): Jo Leemans - 1969
and multiple other artists
Heel lang geleden in Bethlehem
Zoals de Bijbel zegt
Werd Maria’s kind daar in een kribbe neergelegd
Luister toe wat God u zegt
Door een engelenstem
Opdat de mens voor eeuwig leve
Daarom komt Jezus voor
Hoor nu komt de nieuwe Koning
Zong een engelenkoor
Opdat de mens vooreeuwig leve
Daar komt Jezus
Daar hielden herders in de buurt
Bij hun schaapjes trouw de wacht
Zij zagen plots een nieuwe ster
Schitteren in de nacht
Toen kwam Jozef en Maria
Ook naar Bethlehem
Maar er was in heel de stad
Geen enkele plaats voor hen
Hoor nu komt de nieuwe Koning
Zong een engelenkoor
Opdat de mens vooreeuwig leve
Daar komt Jezus
En eindelijk vonden zij een stal
Waar het eenzaam was en stil
Daar werd Maria’s kind gelegd
In een kribbe hard en kil
Heel lang geeden in Bethlehem
Zoals de Bijbel zegt
Werd Maria’s kind daar in een kribbe gelegd

la voz de los lamentos
que brotan de la humanidad

She Shall Have Music
Composer(s): Al Goodhart; Al Hoffman; Maurice Sigler
Performer(s): Jack Hylton
and multiple other artists
She shall have music wherever she goes
With plenty of rhythm to tickle her toes
Wherever she goes, she shall have music
She shall have songbirds to sing her to sleep
With plenty of dream birds to count up her sheep
Awake or asleep, she shall have music
And while she's dreaming
I'll write a dream song
And I'll be hoping that
It will be our theme song
She shall have church bells to ring out in rhyme
So we can go marching in honeymoon time
She shall have music wherever she goes
