Shy People


Shy People
Composer(s): Christopher Franke; Edgar Froese; Paul Haslinger
Performer(s): Tangerine Dream; Jacquie Virgil



Down through the ages
With same structures and forms
Living and feeling
With same troubles, can't keep on
How to escape
From the jungle we build
How to remain
There's a being fulfilled

Shy people, those are riders in the natural way
Shy people, fearful creatures outside are insane
You will never be part of our lives
You will never be part of our lives

Shy people see through their eyes

Timeless, reflecting grey, light up sin, saw the lie
Those minions of dreams not a week lets them by
My father's behavior was ruining the land
Sun breathes out of wild eyes people understand

Shy people, those are riders in the natural dream
Shy people fearful creatures outside are insane
You will never be part of our lives
You will never be part of our lives
you will never, you will never
see through their eyes

Un Enfant De Toi Pour Noël


Un Enfant De Toi Pour Noël English Title: My Own Child For Christmas From You Composer(s): Charles Aznavour; Georges Garvarentz
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour



Quand viendra le temps du froid et du gel
J'aimerais pouvoir trouver ce cadeau
Dans un berceau blanc, tel un angelot
Un enfant de toi pour Noël

Rose et merveilleux tout petit et frêle
Dormant innocent sous le sapin vert
Pour être le coeur de notre univers
Un enfant de toi pour Noël

Un enfant de toi, de nous
Rêvé ensemble
Conçu ensemble
Fille ou garçon
Quelle importance, au fond?

Sorti de tes flancs lourds et maternels
Pour faire en nos coeur jaillir la lumière
Sang de notre sang, chair de notre chair
Un enfant de toi pour Noël

Fruit de nos espoir, envoyé du ciel
Pour donner un sens au fil de nos jours
Au prix de nos joies, au nom de l'amour
Un enfant de toi pour Noël

Shutters And Boards


Shutters And Boards
Composer(s): Audie Murphy; John Turner; Scott Turner
Performer(s): Charley Pride
and multiple other artists



(Shutters and boards cover the windows)
(Of the house where we used to live)

Shutters and boards cover the windows
Of the house where we used to live
All I have left is a heart full of sorrow
Since she said she'd never forgive

The house that we built was once filled with laughter
But I changed that laughter to tears
And now I live in a world without sunshine
Oh, how I wish you were here

Shutters and boards cover the windows
Of the house where we used to live
All I have left is a heart full of sorrow
Since she said she'd never forgive

Last night I dreamed that you came to our house
To take an old book from the shelf
If you'll open the shutters, I'll tear down the boards
'cause I drove ev'ry nail by myself

Shutters and boards cover the windows
Of the house where we used to live
All I have left is a heart full of sorrow
Since she said she'd never forgive

One more time!

Shutters and boards cover the windows
Of the house where we used to live
All I have left is a heart full of sorrow
Since she said she'd never forgive

Shutters and boards

Two-Step 'Round The Christmas Tree


Two-Step 'Round The Christmas Tree
Composer(s): Suzy Bogguss; Doug Crider
Performer(s): Suzy Bogguss; Michael Martin Murphey



There's a wonderous sight and a joyful sound
Every Christmas Eve in a western town
Gather up the kids, all the friends and family
'Cause the holly's hung and the candle's bright
Tuning up a fiddle on a moonlit night
Roll back the rug so we can two step 'round the Christmas tree

There's a jolly man in a bright red suit
Did you ever see a Santa in cowboy boots
Twirling across the floor spurs a-jingling merri-ly
As they sing those carols soft and low
We'll all be shouting out cotton-eyed Joe
Roll back the rug so we can two step 'round the Christmas tree

Waiting 'neath the mistletoe
You'll never get a kiss
I never move that slow there's to much I could miss
"Cause a western girl can't be still
And a silent night is not for me
Roll back the rug so we can two step 'round the Christmas Tree

Red Bandanas, kelly green
Silver buckles on a new blue jeans
Jumpin' 'round the room to a yule tide melo-dy
I'm gonna be ready when Santa's comes
But I'm gonna be dancing til he does
Roll back the rug so we can two step 'round the Christmas tree

Waiting 'neath the mistletoe you'll never get a kiss
I never move that slow there's to much I could miss
"Cause a western girl can't be still
and a silent night is not for me
Roll back the rug so we can two step 'round the Christmas Tree
Roll back the rug so we can two step 'round the Christmas Tree

Todo El Tiempo Del Mundo

Hoy tengo tiempo
tengo todo el tiempo del mundo
para pensar en nosotros
para pensar en ti … y en mi
y en todas las pequeñas cosas
que nos rodeaban
y que entonces no comprendi
Y es que aun te quiero
si … te quiero … te quiero!
Y pienso en aquellas mañanas
y siento aun el calor
de nuestros cuerpos
que entre las sabanas
formaban una carcel maravillosa
de la que nos resistiamos a huir
Recuerdo nuestro lenguaje
hecho de caricias y susurros
Como te echo de menos
y cuanto te quiero …
Si
Recuerdas? … Si
Pero aquello acabo, como acaba todo
casi sin querer, igual que
el rio se pierde en el mar
No, no … no fue culpa tuya ni mia
pero con nuestro orgullo
perdimos mil cosas bellas
Hoy tengo tiempo
tengo todo el tiempo del mundo
y cuanto mas pienso, mas te añoro
y mas te deseo…
Y es que aun te quiero …
Te Quiero … Te Quiero!
Si
Pero donde estas?

Wenn du ihr sagst alles ist vorbei
wenn du nicht glaubst sie ist dir nur treu
Dreh dich einmal um, schau in ihr Gesicht
und du wirst seh'n, Tränen lügen nicht

Bei Tag und Nacht mit ihr war es schön
Die Tür steht auf, willst du wirklich geh'n
Wie ein offenes Buch ist Herz für dich
und du erkennst Tränen lügen nicht

Vergoss'nen Wein den trinkt keiner mehr
Ein verlor'nes Herz bleibt für immer leer
Es ist nie zu spät, komm entscheide dich
Reich ihr die Hand, Tränen lügen nicht

Die große Stadt lockt mit ihrem Glanz
mit schönen Frau'n, mit Musik und Tanz
Doch der Schein hält nie, was er dir verspricht
Kehr endlich um, Tränen lügen nicht

Dreh dich noch mal um
Schau in ihr Gesicht
und du verstehst, Tränen lügen nicht

Shut Up


Shut Up
Composer(s): Chris Foreman; Graham "Suggs" McPherson
Performer(s): Madness



I tell you I didn't do it
'Cause I wasn't there
Don't blame me, it just isn't fair
You listen to their side
Now listen to mine
Can't think of a story
Sure you'll find me sometime
Now pass the blame and don't blame me
Just close your eyes and count to three
(One two three)
Then I'll be gone and you'll forget
The broken window, t.v. set
It wasn't me either, I'm just his mate
He told me to stand here and watch the gate
I've got a wife and three kids you know
They'll tell you I'm straight, at least I think so
I'm as honest as the day is long,
The longer the daylight, the less I do wrong
Now pass the blame and don't blame me
Just close your eyes and count to three
(One two three)
Then I'll be gone and you'll forget
The broken window, t.v. set
Pass the blame and don't blame me
Just close your eyes and count to three
(One two three)
Then I'll be gone and I'll forget
That what you give is what you get...
Pass the blame and don't blame me
Just close your eyes and count to three
(One two three)
Then I'll be gone and you'll forget
The broken window, t.v. set
Pass the blame and don't blame me
Just close your eyes and count to three
(One two three)
Then I'll be gone and I'll forget
That what you give is what you get...

'Twas The Night Before Christmas


'Twas The Night Before Christmas
Composer(s): Clement C. Moore; Matthew Quinn; Noel Paul Stookey
Performer(s): Peter, Paul and Mary



't Was the night before Christmas and all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care
In the hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there

The children were nestled all snug in their beds
While visions of sugar plums danced in their heads
Mom in her kerchief and I in my cap
Had just settled down for a long winter's nap

When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter
I sprang from my bed to see what was the matter
Away to the window I flew with a flash
Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash

The moon on the breast of the new fallen snow
Gave a luster of mid-day to objects below.
When what to my wondering eyes should appear
But a miniature sleigh and eight tiny reindeer

With a little old driver so lively and quick
Well I knew in a moment, it must be St. Nick
More rapid than eagles, his coursers they came
And he whistled and he shouted and he called them by name

"On Dasher, on Dancer, on Prancer and Vixen
On Comet, on Cupid, on Donner and Blitzen!
To the top of the porch, to the top of the wall
Now, dash away, dash away, dash away all!"

As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly
When they meet to an obstacle mount to the sky
So up to the rooftop the coursers they flew
With a sleigh full of toys and St. Nicholas too

And then in a twinkling, I heard on the roof
The prancing, the pawing of each little hoof
As I drew in my head and was turning around
Down the chimney St. Nicholas came with a bound

He was dressed all in fur from his head to his foot
And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot
A bundle of toys he had flung on his back
And he looked like a peddler just op'ning his pack

His eyes, how they twinkled, his dimples, how merry
His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry
His droll little mouth was drawn up in a bow
And the beard on his chin was as white as the snow

The stump of a pipe, he held tight in his teeth
And the smoke, it encircled his head like a wreath
He had a broad face and a little round belly
That shook when laughed (ho, ho, ho, ho) like a bowl full of jelly
(ho, ho, ho, ho)

He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf
And I laughed when I saw him in spite of myself
A wink of his eye and a twist of his head
Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread

He spoke not a word but went straight to his work
And filled all the stockings and turned with a jerk
And laying a finger to the side of his nose
And giving a nod up the chimney he rose

He sprang to his sleigh, and to his team gave a whistle
And away they all flew like the down of a thistle
But I heard him exclaim as he drove out of sight
"Merry Christmas to all and to all ... goodnight

Goodnight"

Shut The Door (They're Coming Through the Window)


Shut The Door (They're Coming Through the Window)
Composer(s): Mann; Ives; Kern; Howard
Performer(s): Sam & Kirk McGee



I know a certain fellow
By the name of Joe Devine
He started seeing funny things
From drinkin' too much wine
Around his bed pink elephants
And zebras played about
A purple monkey kissed him twice
And he began to shout
Shut the door!
They're coming through the window!
Shut the window!
They're coming through the door!
Shut the door!
They're coming through the window!
Oh! the room is full
And won't hold any more!

A man lived in Vancouver
In a cottage by the sea
One night he called the sheriff up
And said "They're robbing me!
There's twenty crooks around the house
Please tell me what to do!"
The sheriff said, "Don't let 'em in
That's my advice to you!"
Shut the door!
They're coming through the window!
Shut the window!
They're coming through the door!
Shut the door!
They're coming through the window!
Oh! the room is full
And won't hold any more!

A dad-to-be was waiting
For the stork to bring an heir
Out came the nurse who said "Two storks
Have just brought you a pair!
Oh, wait! There's more storks circling 'round
I think they're gonna light!
Looks like those storks are gonna be
Kept busy here tonight!"
Shut the door!
They're coming through the window!
Shut the window!
They're coming through the door!
Shut the door!
They're coming through the window!
Oh! the room is full
And won't hold any more!

My wife went in for rabbits
And she kept them in a hutch
She only bought two rabbits
And it didn't seem like much
One morning when we looked at them
Oh, how they'd multiplied!
A million rabbits hopped right out
And all the neighbors cried
Shut the door!
They're coming through the window!
Shut the window!
They're coming through the door!
Shut the door!
They're coming through the window!
Oh! the room is full
And won't hold any more!

The first week we were married
My dear wife said to me
"I'm feeling kind of lonesome
For my darling family
Can we invite them for awhile
Since we've got room to spare?"
They eat me out of house and home
They're getting in my hair!
Shut the door!
They're coming through the window!
Shut the window!
They're coming through the door!
Shut the door!
They're coming through the window!
Oh! the room is full
And won't hold any more!

Shut Down


Shut Down
Composer(s): Brian Wilson; Roger Christian
First release by: The Beach Boys - 1963



Tach it up, tach it up
Buddy gonna shut you down
It happened on the strip where the road is wide
(Oooo rev it up now)
Two cool shorts standing side by side
(Oooo rev it up now)
Yeah, my fuel injected Stingray and a four-thirteen
(Oooo rev it up now)
Revving' up our engines and it sounds real mean
(Oooo rev it up now)
Tach it up, tach it up, tach it up
Buddy gonna shut you down
Declining numbers at an even rate
(Oooo moving out now)
At the count of one we both accelerate
(Oooo moving out now)
My Stingray is light the slicks are starting to spin
(Oooo moving out now)
But the four-thirteen's really digging in
(Oooo moving out now)
Got to be cool now power shift here we go
Superstock Dodge is winding out in low
But my fuel injected Stingray's really starting to go
To get the traction I'm riding the clutch
My pressure plate's burning that machine's too much
Pedal's to the floor hear the dual quads drink
(Oooo pump it up now)
And now the four-thirteen's lead is starting to shrink
(Oooo pump it up now)
He's hot with ram induction but it's understood
(Oooo pump it up now)
I got a fuel injected engine sitting under my hood
(Oooo pump it up now)
Shut it off, shut it off buddy now I shut you down
Shut it off, shut it off buddy now I shut you down
Shut it off, shut it off buddy now I shut you down
Shut it off, shut it off buddy now I shut you down
Shut it off, shut it off buddy now I shut you down

Tonight Is Christmas


Tonight Is Christmas
Composer(s): Steve Baccus; Don Matthews;
Stan Munsey; Keith Worsham
Performer(s): Alabama



The factories are shut down, shopping malls are all closed
The busy streets are empty, 'cept for fallin' snow
And in the small towns and the cities families gather as one
'Cause the night of love and sharing they've look forward to has come

Tonight is Christmas, tonight is love
Tonight we celebrate God's one and only Son
Tonight there's hope for peace on Earth eternally
Tonight is Christmas and the World's in harmony

But across the sea, two armies stare down at each other's guns
Each believing in their cause enough to die or kil the other one
But tonight there'll be no shooting, not a drop of blood will spill
They'll cease their fire this silent night in the name of peace and
goodwill

Tonight is Christmas, tonight is love
Tonight we celebrate God's one and only Son
Tonight there's hope for peace on Earth eternally
Tonight is Christmas and the World's in harmony

Stay Away


Stay Away
((Adapted from: A New Northern Dittye Of The Lady Greene Sleeves - 1580 (aka What Child Is This? - 1958))
Composer(s): Traditional; Sid Tepper; Roy Bennett
Performer(s): Elvis Presley - 1968

Titles In Other Languages:
1966 - La Nostra Terra
2008 - D'ici



Ten thousand miles even though I roam
I can hear the call of the hills of home
The canyons high and the valleys low
Echo "How can you stay away"

My dreams are there where the eagles fly
Where the mountain tops seem to touch the sky
The winding streams and the winds that blow
Ask me "How can you stay away"

Too long have I stayed apart
From this land that I love and denied my heart
Now, now I know I must go
Where the hills say "Don't stay away"
Where the hills say "Don't stay away"

Snälla folket låtit maten rara
Maten rara
Stå på bordet åt en tomteskara
Tomteskara

Hur de mysa, hoppa upp bland faten
Upp bland faten
Tissla, tassla: "God är julematen
Julematen"!
Tipp tapp ...

Gröt och skinka, lilla äppelbiten
Äppelbiten
Tänk, så rart det smakar Nisse liten
Nisse liten
Tipp tapp ...

Nu till lekar! Glada skrattet klingar
Skrattet klingar
Runt om granen skaran muntert svingar
Muntert svingar
Tipp tapp ...

Natten lider
Snart de tomtar snälla
Tomtar snälla
Kvickt och näpet allt i ordning ställa
Ordning Ställa
Tipp tapp ...

Sedan åter in i tysta vrårna
Tysta vrårna
Tomteskaran, tassar nätt på tårna
Nätt på tårna

Western Ridge


Western Ridge
Composer(s): L.J. Booth - David Wilcox
Performer(s): David Wilcox



This is where the trail just disappears
This is where their story ends
No one knows where they went from here
But I remember when they drank a toast
A route that no one else had tried

Working up along the western ridge
Where the water shed divides
Way out there
They found their place in the sky

Around the fire we told the tale
Of how they cut it close before
Under logs left after the avalanche
They stumbled back to camp at dawn

Now it's much too long to hold the hope
The glacier ice can echo deep
Thought I felt a tug along the rope
And it pulled me from my sleep

Working up along the western ridge
Where the water shed divides
Way out there
They found their place in the sky
Way out there
They found their place in the sky

The air is clear and the ice is blue
You can see from down below
That curling up over the eastern side
Is a silent plume of snow

Working up along the western ridge
Where the water shed divides
Way out there
They found their place in the sky

Shuffle Your Feet/Bandanna Babies
Composer(s): Dorothy Fields; Jimmy McHugh
Performer(s): Duke Ellington
and multiple other artists



Shuffle your feet and just stroll along
Oh, roll along your way
Shuffle that worried soul along
And stroll along your way

Make this a good world to live in
Laugh at your troubles and give in
Oh, shuffle your little feet, and just stroll along
Oh, roll along your way

Bandanna babies, struttin' around the town
Bandanna babies, doin' the new lowdown

Hello, stranger, you're in danger
Of losing all your cares
So attractive, very active
Go along, you blues, we're givin' you air

Their black eyes flashin'
Tying you up in knots
There's lots of cash in
Shakin' their polka-dots

You're gonna get an eyeful, you'll die full of joy and clown
Bandanna babies, doin' the new lowdown!

Tomorrow Is Christmas Day


Tomorrow Is Christmas Day
Composer(s): Buck Owens; Don Rich
Performer(s): Buck Owens



Looky there, who's a comin'
See the reindeer a runnin'
Ol' Rudolph sleddin' away
Hear the rattle of the hoofs
As he ride on the roof
Oh, tomorrow is Christmas day

See the funny little man
With the sack in his hand
Filled with toys all bright and gay
But don't be afraid
Because it's only ol' Santa Claus
And tomorrow is Christmas day

Here he comes down the chimney
With a great big grin
A beard on the tip
Of his chinny chin chin
You better be a sleepin'
Or he won't come in.
For tomorrow is Christmas day

Hey, tomorrow is Christmas day

Well, he fills all the stockings
That's a hangin' on the tree
And he places all the presents
Where they ought to be
He's got a book for you
And a tie for me
Oh, tomorrow is Christmas day

And with a twinkle in his eye
You know wave goodbye
He hurries right on his way
He's gotta take a lotta toys
To all the girls and boys
For tomorrow is Christmas day

Here he comes down the chimney
With a great big grin
A beard on the tip
Of his chinny chin chin
You better be a sleepin'
Or he won't come in
For tomorrow is Christmas day

Hey, tomorrow is Christmas day ...
