Sueño Con Serpientes


Sueño Con Serpientes
Composer(s): Silvio Rodríguez
Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez
and multiple other artists



Sueño con serpientes, con serpientes de mar
con cierto mar, ay, de serpientes sueño yo
Largas, transparentes, y en sus barrigas llevan
lo que puedan arrebatarle al amor

Oh, la mato y aparece una mayor
Oh, con mucho más infierno en digestión

No quepo en su boca, me trata de tragar
pero se atora con un trébol de mi sien
Creo que está loca; le doy de masticar
una paloma y la enveneno de mi bien

Oh, la mato y aparece una mayor
Oh, con mucho más infierno en digestión

Ésta al fin me engulle, y mientras por su esófago
paseo, voy pensando en qué vendrá
Pero se destruye cuando llego a su estómago
y planteo con un verso una verdad

Oh, la mato y aparece una mayor
Oh, con mucho más infierno en digestión

You Can't Be True, Dear


You Can't Be True, Dear
((German Version: Du Kannst Nicht Treu Sein (Die Lustige Münchner Musikanten)) Composer(s): Ken Griffin - Hans Otten - Hal Cotten Performer(s): Ken Griffin - 1948 and multiple other artists



You can't be true, dear
There's nothing more to say
I trusted you, dear
Hoping we'd find a way
Your kisses tell me
That you and I are through
But I'll keep loving you
Although you can't be true

Clouds hide the sun
In the skies that were blue
As my heart says
Goodbye to you

You can't be true, dear
There's nothing more to say
I trusted you, dear
Hoping we'd find a way
Your kisses tell me
That you and I are through
But I'll keep loving you
Although you can't be true

Nathan, that is the biggest lie you ever told me!

But I promise you it's true!

Give a holler and hate me, hate me
Go ahead hate me, I love you

All right already, it's true, so Nu?
So, sue me, sue me, what can you do me?

You gamble on everything, all except me
And I'm sick of you keepin' me up in the air
Till you're back in the money again

Nathan:

All right already, it's true, so Nu?
So, sue me, sue me, what can you do me?
I love you!

Adelaide:
You're at it again, you're running the game
I'm not gonna play second fiddle to that
An' I'm sick an' and I'm tired of stalling around
An' I'm telling you now that we're through
When I think of the time gone by

Nathan:
Adelaide, Adelaide!

Adelaide:
And I think of the way I try

Nathan:
Adelaide!

Adelaide:
I could honestly die

Nathan:
Sue me, sue me
Shoot bullets through me
I love you

You Can't Be Too Strong


You Can't Be Too Strong
Composer(s): Graham Parker
Performer(s): Graham Parker; Superfolk



Did they tear it out, with talons of steel
And give you a shot, so that you wouldn't feel
And wash it away, as if it wasn't real

It's just a mistake, I won't have to face
Don't give it a name, don't give it a place
Don't give it a chance, it's lucky in a way

It must have felt strange, to find me inside you
I hadn't intended to stay
If you want to keep it right, put it to sleep at night
Squeeze it until it could say

(Chorus)

You can't be too strong
You can't be too strong
You can't be too strong
You can't be too strong
You decide what's wrong

Well I ain't gonna cry, I'm gonna rejoice
And shout myself dry, and go see the boys
They'll laugh when I say, I left it overseas

Yeah babe I know that it gets dark, down by Luna Park
But everybody else, is squeezing out a spark
That happened in the heat, somewhere in the dark, in the dark

The doctor gets nervous, completing the service
He's all rubber gloves and no head
He fumbles the light switch, it's just another minor hitch
Wishes to God he was dead

(Repeat Chorus)

You can't be too strong You decide what's wrong
Can't be too hard, too tough, too rough, too right, too wrong
And you, can't be too strong

Baby you can't be too strong...

Suddenly, Seymour


Suddenly, Seymour
Composer(s): Alan Menken - Howard Ashman
Performer(s): Jennifer Leigh Warren
and multiple other artists



Lift up your head
Wash off your mascara
Here, take my kleenex
Wipe that lipstick away
Show me your face
Clean as the mornin'
I know things were bad
But now they're ok

Suddenly, Seymour
Is standing beside you
You don't need no make-up
Don't have to pretend
Suddenly, Seymour
Is here to provide you
Sweet understanding
Seymour's your friend

Nobody, ever
Treated me kindly
Daddy left early
Mama was poor
I need a man, and I'd
Follow him blindly
He'd snap he fingers and
I'd say, "sure"

Suddenly, Seymour
Is standing beside me
He don't give me orders
He don't condescend
Suddenly, Seymour
Is here to provide me
Sweet understanding
Seymour's my friend

Tell me this feeling
Lasts 'til forever
Tell me the bad times
Are clean, washed away!
Please understand that
It's still strange and frightening
For loosers like I've been
It's so hard to say...

Suddenly, Seymour
He purified me
Suddenly, Seymour
Showed me I can!
Learn how to be more!
The girl that's inside (you/me)
With sweet understanding
With sweet understanding
With sweet understanding
Seymour's (your/my) man

You Can't Always Get What You Want


You Can't Always Get What You Want
Composer(s): Mick Jagger; Keith Richards
Performer(s): The Rolling Stones;
and various other artists



I saw her today at the reception
A glass of wine in her hand
I knew she was gonna meet her connection
At her feet was a footloose man

I saw her today at the reception
A glass of wine in her hand
I knew she was gonna meet her connection
At her feet was a footloose man

You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes you just might find
You'll get what you need

I went down to the demonstration
To get my fair share of abuse
Singing "we're gonna vent our frustrations
And if we don't we're gonna blow a 50-amp fuse"

You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes you might find
You'll get what you need

I went down to the Chelsea drugstore
To get your prescription filled
I was standing in line with Mr. Jimmy
And man, did he look pretty ill
We decided that we would have a soda
My favorite flavor, cherry red
I sung my song to Mr. Jimmy
And he said one word to me, and that was "dead,"
I said to him

You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes you just might find
You'll get what you need

You'll get what you need--yeah, oh baby

I saw her today at the reception
In her glass was a bleeding man
She was practiced at the art of deception
Well I could tell by her bloodstained hands

You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes you just might find
You just might find
You'll get what you need

You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes you just might find

You just might find
You'll get what you need

Suddenly Last Summer


Suddenly Last Summer
Composer(s): Martha Davis
Performer(s): The Motels



It happened one summer
It happened one time
It happened forever
For a short time
A place for a moment
An end to a dream
Forever I loved you
Forever it seemed

One summer never ends
One summer never began
It keeps me standing still
It takes all my will
And then suddenly
Last summer

Sometimes I never leave
But sometimes I would
Sometimes I stay too long
Sometimes I would
Sometimes it frightens me
Sometimes it would
Sometimes I'm all alone
And wish that I could

One summer never ends
One summer never begins
It keeps me standing still
It takes all my will
And then suddenly
Last summer
And then suddenly
Last summer

One summer never ends
One summer never begins
It keeps me standing still
It takes all my will
And then suddenly
Last summer
And then suddenly
Last summer
Until suddenly
Last Summer

And then suddenly
Last summer
Until suddenly
Last Summer

You Can Never Stop Me Loving You


You Can Never Stop Me Loving You
Composer(s): Jean Slater; Ian Samwell
Performer(s): Johnny Tillotson



You can take your picture off your shelf
You can go around all by yourself
You can tell the others that we're through
But darling, I know one thing you can't do

You can never stop me loving you
You can never stop the way that my heart's beating too
You can never stop me loving you
That's one thing you'll never do

You can look away when I pass by
You can do your best to make me cry
You can break my heart and leave me blue
But darling I know one thing you can't do

You can hang the phone up when I call
You can say you don't love me at all
You can say its over and we're through
But darling I know one thing you can't do

You'll never stop me loving you
That's one thing you'll never do

As Each Happy Christmas


As Each Happy Christmas
Composer(s): Johann Hey - Johann Rink



As each happy Christmas dawns on
Earth again
Comes the Holy Christ child
In the hearts of men

Enters with His blessing into ev'ry home
Guides and guards our footsteps
As we go and come

All unknown, beside me
He will ever stand
And will safely lead me
With His own right hand

You Can Make Me Free


You Can Make Me Free
Composer(s): Billy Joel
Performer(s): Billy Joel



You can make me free
You can make me smile
You can make me be
Like a little child

You can melt the ice that chills my body
You can dry my every tear
You make the lonely hours disappear

You can make me free
You can make me rise
You can make me see
So open up my eyes

Don't you know my only real moments
Are the ones I spend with you
How I long to drink some wine again with you

I can take to the skies
I can soar like a bird with its heart full of song
Won't you color my eyes
I've been waiting so long

You can make me free
You can make me cry
You can make it so much better
If you would only try

And if I must wait a lonely lifetime
Until I am with you, my love
I will wait but you'll be what I'm dreamin' of

I can take to the skies
I can soar like a bird with his heart full of song
Won't you coler my eyes
I've been waiting so long

You can make me free
You can make me cry
You can make it so much better
If you would only try

And if I must wait a lonely lifetime
Until I am with you, my love
I will wait but you'll be what I'm dreamin' of

I can take to the skies
I can soar like a bird with his heart full of song
Won't you coler my eyes
I've been waiting so long

You can make me free
You can make me cry
You can make it so much better
If you would only try

And if I must wait a lonely lifetime
Until I am with you, my love
I will wait but you'll be what I'm dreamin' of

You can make me free
You can make me cry
You can make it so much better
If you would only try

Suddenly (Cliff Richard)


Suddenly
Composer(s): John Farrar - Charles Keith - Leslie Sebastian
Performer(s): Cliff Richard



She walks in I'm suddenly a hero
I'm taken in my hopes begin to rise
Look at me can't you tell I'd be so
Thrilled to see the message in your eyes
You make it seem I'm so close to my dream
And then suddenly it's all there

Suddenly the wheels are in motion
And I I'm ready to sail any ocean
Suddenly I don't need the answers
Cos I I'm ready to take all my chances with you

How can I feel you're all that matters
I'd rely on anything you say
I'll take care that no illusions shatter
If you dare to say what you should say
You make it seem I'm so close to my dream
And then suddenly it's all there

Suddenly the wheels are in motion
And I I'm ready to sail any ocean
Suddenly I don't need the answers
Cos I I'm ready to take all my chances with you

Why do I feel so alive when you're near
There's no way any hurt can get thru'
Longing to spend every moment of the day with you

Suddenly the wheels are in motion
And I I'm ready to sail any ocean
Suddenly I don't need the answers
Cos I I'm ready to take all my chances with you

I'm Sorry For You, My Friend


I'm Sorry For You, My Friend
Composer(s): Hank Williams
First recording/First release by: Hank Williams - 1951/1952
Covered by multiple other artists



You've known so long that you were wrong
But still you had your way
You told her lies and alibis
And hurt her more each day
But now your conscience bothers you
You've reached your journey's end
You're asking me for sympathy
I'm sorry for you my friend

You laughed inside each time she cried
You tried to make her blue
She tagged along through right and wrong
Because she worshipped you
You know that you're the one to blame
There's no use to pretend
Today's the day you start to pay
I'm sorry for you my friend

Today as she walked arm in arm
At someone else's side
It made you stop and realize
That time has turned the tide
You should have known you'd be alone
'Cause cheaters never win
You tried and lost, now pay the cost
I'm sorry for you my friend

Baby take off your coat
real slow
and take off your shoes
I'll take your shoes
Baby take off your dress

You can leave your hat on
You can leave your hat on
You can leave your hat on

Go on over there

Come back here
stand on this chair

Raise your arms up to the air
no shake 'em
You give me a reason to live
You give me a reason to live
You give me a reason to live
You give me a reason to live
Sweet darling

You can leave your hat on
You can leave your hat on

Suspicious minds a talkin'

in this love of mine
they don't know I love you
they don't know what love is
they don't know what love is
they don't know what love is
I know what love is
Sweet darling

You can leave your hat on
You can leave your hat on

You Can Have Him


You Can Have Him
Composer(s): Irving Berlin First release: Mary McCarty & Allyn Ann McLerie - 1949 Covered by multiple other artists

Versions In Other Languages: 1968 - Hou Je Van 'M (Corry Brokken) 1961 - Tu Peux Le Prendre (Dalida)



Maisie:
You can have him
I don't want him
He's not worth fighting for
Besides there's plenty more where he came from

I don't want him
You can have him
I'm giving him the sack
And he can go right back where he came from

I could never make him happy
He'd be better off with you
I'm afraid I never loved him
All I ever wanted to do was

Run my fingers thru his curly locks
Mend his underwear and darn his socks
Fetch his slippers and remove his shoes
Wipe his glasses when he read the news
Rub his forehead with a gentle touch
Mornings after when he's had too much
Kiss him gently when he cuddled near
Give him babies one for ev'ry year, so you see
I don't want him, you can have him
You can have him, I don't want him
For he's not the man for me

Monique:
You can have him
I don't want him
He's not worth fighting for
Besides there's plenty more where he came from

I don't want him
You can have him
He isn't my concern
And he can just return where he came from

I would look a trifle silly
Taking him away from you
That was never my intention
All I ever wanted to do was

Close the window while he soundly slept
Raid the icebox where the food is kept
Cook a breakfast that would please him most
Eggs and coffee and some buttered toast
Wake him gently with a breakfast tray
After breakfast clear the things away
Bring the papers and when they've been read
Spend the balance of the day in bed, so you see
I don't want him, you can have him
You can have him, I don't want him
For he's not the man for me

That Darn Cat


That Darn Cat
Composer(s): Richard M. Sherman - Robert B. Sherman
Performer(s): Bobby Darin



While a city sleeps, every night he creeps
just surveying his domain
He roams around like he owns the town
He’s the king that makes that claim

He knows every trick, doesn’t miss a lick
when it comes to keeping fat
Some city slicker, no one is quicker than…
That Darn Cat!

Every nook and cranny, and garbage canny
he inspects so thoroughly
When he’s on his rounds, nothing’s out of bounds
to his curiosity

He can smile and purr at a pretty her
til she don’t know where she’s at
Nose like a geiger, oh what a tiger is…
That Darn Cat!

He’s a sly old codger, an artful dodger
a scrounger unsurpassed
A ball of fire, a 9 live wire
Who just can’t be out-classed

Yeah, this midnight rover, he lives in clover
It’s an art he’s got down pat
Never was a greater, smooth operator than…
That Darn Cat!

Tu Peux Le Prendre
((Adapted from: You Can Have Him (Mary McCarty & Allyn Ann McLerie) - 1949))
((Dutch Version: Hou Je Van 'M (Corry Brokken) - 1968))
Composer(s): B. Cook - A. Salvet - L. Morisse
Performer(s): Dalida



Tu peux le prendre sans plus attendre
Je dois comprendre qu'il ne m'aime plus
C'est bien ma faute oui c'est ma faute
Si pour une autre je l'ai perdu

Je le soupçonne, je le questionne, je lui pardonne
Mais c'est en vain
Je dévisage sur son visage je vois l'image
De mon déclin

Tu peux le prendre sans plus attendre
Je dois comprendre que c'est la vie
Tourner la page je l'envisage
Après l'orage tout est fini

Mais qu'il comprenne, qu'avec ma peine
Dites que je l'aime, rien n'est plus fort
S'il veut m'apprendre de sa voix tendre
Qu'il faut attendre, j'attends encore

J'ai du te dire mille betises, mille sottises
Oublie tout ça
Qu'il me comprenne ah qui' m'revienne
Et qu'il me prenne entre ses bras

J'ai du te dire mille betises
Mille sottises oublie tout ça
Qu'il me comprenne ah qu'il revienne
Et qu'il me prenne entre ses bras
Qu'il me comprenne et qu'il revienne
Oh qu'il me prenne entre ses bras

Suddenly (Billy Ocean)


Suddenly
Composer(s): Keith Diamond - John Farrar - Billy Ocean
Performer(s): Billy Ocean



I used to think that love was just a fairy tale
Until that first hello until that first smile
But if I had to do it all again I wouldn't change a thing
Cause this love is everlasting

Suddenly life has new meaning to me
There's beauty up above and things we never take notice of
You wake up suddenly you're in love

Girl you're everthing a man could want and more
One thousand words are not enough to say what I feel inside
Holding hands as we walk along the shore
Never felt like this before now you're all I'm living for

Each day I pray this love affair would last forever

There's beauty up above and things you never take notice of
You wake and suddenly you're in love

Performer(s): Desmond Dekker;

You can get it if you really want
You can get it if you really want
You can get it if you really want
But you must try - try and try - try and try
You'll succed at last - mmmm yeah

Persecution you must fear
Win or lose the battle, get your share
You've got your mind set on a dream
You can get it though hard it may seem

You can get it if you really want
You can get it if you really want, yeah
You can get it if you really want
But you must try - try and try - try and try
You'll succed at last - don't you know it

Rome was not built in a day
Opposition will come your way
But the harder the battle, you see
Is the sweeter the victory

You can get it if you really want
You can get it if you really want
You can get it if you really want
But you must try - try and try - try and try
You'll succed at last

How can you tell by looking at me?
How can you tell you like what you see?
Suddenly there's a boy in the rain alone
Suddenly there's a girl in the rain alone

How can you tell humans are real?
How can you tell you like what you feel?
Suddenly there's a girl in your heart oh boy
Suddenly there's a boy in your heart oh boy
Ah....

How can you tell by looking at me?
How can you tell you like what you see?
Suddenly there's a boy in the rain alone
Suddenly there's a girl in the rain alone
Ah...
