Humpty's Blues
Humpty's Blues
Composer(s): Randy Bachman; Burton Cummings;
Jim Kale; Gary Peterson
Performer(s): The Guess Who
Woke up late this morning
Found out my people gone away from me
(Nobody anywhere I looked)
Woke up late one morning
Found out my people gone away
Spinning ‘round in circles
Oh how I hate to be alone
(It’s no good)
Looking all around me
Trying to find out where ev’rybody’s gone
(Can’t find anybody)
Looking all around me
Trying to find out where the Hell ev’rybody’s gone
(Can’t find anybody now)
Spinning ‘round in circles
Oh how I hate to be alone
(Can’t stand being all alone)
If I could have been a carpenter
Could have run around looking for things to fix
Way back a long time ago if I could have been a carpenter
I could have found a lot of things to fix
(Fix ‘em all up now)
Didn’t end up bein’ no carpenter
And that’s why they call me
Humpty mix

A Poem On The Underground Wall
A Poem On The Underground Wall
Composer(s): Paul Simon
Performer(s): Simon & Garfunkel; Chad Mitchell
The last train is nearly due
The underground is closing soon
And in the dark deserted station
Restless in anticipation
A man waits in the shadows
His restless eyes leap and scratch
At all that they can touch or catch
And hidden deep within his pocket
Safe within its silent socket
He holds a colored crayon
Now from the tunnel's stony womb
The carriage rides to meet the groom
And open wide and welcome doors
But he hesitates, and then withdraws
Deeper in the shadows
And the train is gone suddenly
On wheels clicking silently
Like a gently tapping litany
And he holds his crayon rosary
Tighter in his hand
Now from his pocket quick he flashes
The crayon on the wall he slashes
Deep upon the advertising
A single worded poem consisting
Of four letters
And his heart is laughing, screaming, pounding
The poem across the tracks rebounding
Shadowed by the exit light
His legs take their ascending flight
To seek the breast of darkness and be suckled by the night

Humpty Dumpty Heart
Humpty Dumpty Heart
Composer(s): Jimmy Van Heusen; Johnny Burke
Performer(s): Bing Crosby;
and various other artists
Who's giving that line to you?
You think it's divine, do you?
You're a crazy Humpty Dumpty heart
You're letting a grin kid you
You never did win, did you?
Just a silly Humpty Dumpty heart
Don't mean to criticize, or say I'm wise
But if you will just recall, you sat on a garden wall
And you know what happened
You'll still have a chance won't you?
You sure want romance, don't you
Hope, you're lucky, Humpty Dumpty heart
Don't mean to criticize, or say I'm wise
But if you will just recall, you sat on a garden wall
And you know what happened
You'll still have a chance won't you?
You sure want romance, don't you
Hope, you're lucky, Humpty Dumpty heart

Dans un élan insensé, fou de joie, je vous crie
Il ne peut m'arrêter dans ma folie, oh oui....

Humo Sobre Humo
Humo Sobre Humo
Composer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute
Performer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute
No sé si a estas alturas
puedo llamar altura a lo que es abismo
de incertidumbres
No sé si voy o vuelvo
o acaso esté acercándome hacia mí mismo
como es costumbre
Y tal vez
en el tiempo me consumo
y soy humo sobre humo
de algún fuego que no fue
No sé si éste es mi sitio
si se entiende por sitio el eje invisible
de alguna noria
Quizá la vida es esto
esto de ser incógnita inaccesible
contra la historia
Y tal vez
en el tiempo me consumo
y soy humo sobre humo
de algún fuego que no fue
Tener el sentimiento
de que sin daño no existe la alegría
me desconcierta
En fin, frente al futuro
esa vieja y desdentada teoría
cierro la puerta
Y tal vez
en el tiempo me consumo
y soy humo sobre humo
de algún fuego que no fue

A Place Where We Used To Live
A Place Where We Used To Live
Composer(s): Mark Knopfler
Performer(s): Mark Knopfler
This empty kitchen's where
I'd while away the hours
Just next to my old chair
You'd usually have some flowers
The shelves of books
Even the picture hooks
Everything is gone
But my heart is hanging on
If this old neighbourhood
Survived us both alright
Don't know that it withstood
All the things that took our light
You on the stair
I can see you there
Everything is gone
But my heart is hanging on
Once there was a little girl
Used to wonder what she would be
Went out into the big wide world
Now she's just a memory
There used to be a little school here
Where I learned to write my name
But time has been a little cruel here
Time has no shame
It's just a place where
We used to live
It's just a place where
We used to live
Now in another town
You lead another life
And now upstairs and down
You're someone else's wife
Here in the dust
There's not a trace of us
Everything is gone
But my heart is hanging on
It's just a place where
We used to live
It's just a place where
We used to live

Performer(s): Javier Solís;
and various other artists
Humo en los ojos cuando te fuiste
cuando dijiste llena de angustia ya volveré
Humo en los ojos cuando volviste
cuando me viste antes que a nadie no sé porqué
Humo en los ojos al encontrarnos
al abrazarnos el mismo cielo se estremeció
Humo en los ojos, niebla de ausencia
que con la magia de tu presencia se disipó
Humo en los ojos al encontrarnos
al abrazarnos el mismo cielo se estremeció
Humo en los ojos, niebla de ausencia
que con la magia de tu presencia se disipó

Hummingbird (Seals & Crofts)
Hummingbird
Composer(s): James Seals; Dash Crofts
Performer(s): Seals & Crofts
Oh hummingbird
mankind was waiting for you to come flying along
Heavenly songbird, we were so wrong
We've harmed you
Oh hummingbird, lend us your wings
Let us soar in the atmosphere of Abha
Lift us up to the heaven of holiness
oh source of our being, oh hummingbird
Hummingbird don't fly away, fly away
Hummingbird don't fly away, fly away
In you I've found a fragrance
I'll love you 'til I die
I just love you, love you, love you
I don't even know the reason why
Hummingbird don't fly away, fly away
Hummingbird don't fly away, fly away
The sweetness of your nectar has drawn me like a fly
I just love you, love you, love you
I don't even know the reason why
Now, hummingbird don't fly away, fly away
Hummingbird don't fly away, fly away
Haven't you noticed the days somehow keep getting longer?
And the spirit voices linger in us all
Haven't you noticed the rays?
The spirit sun in stronger
And a new day is dawning on us all
Hummingbird don't fly away, fly away
Hummingbird don't fly away, fly away
Hummingbird don't fly away, fly away
Hummingbird don't fly away, fly away
The draught of understanding; wisdom, peace and love is ours
Hummingbird don't fly away, fly away
Hummingbird don't fly away, fly away

A Place In The Sun
((Italian Version: Il Sole È Di Tutti (by Stevie Wonder) - 1966))
Composer(s): Bryan Wells - Ron Miller
First release by: Stevie Wonder - 1966
Covered by multiple other artists
Like a long lonely stream
I keep runnin' towards a dream
Movin' on, movin' on
Like a branch on a tree
I keep reachin' to be free
Movin' on, movin' on
'Cause there's a place in the sun
Where there's hope for ev'ryone
Where my poor restless heart's gotta run
There's a place in the sun
And before my life is done
Got to find me a place in the sun
Like an old dusty road
I get weary from the load
Movin' on, movin' on
Like this tired troubled earth
I've been rollin' since my birth
Movin' on, movin' on
There's a place in the sun
Where there's hope for ev'ryone
Where my poor restless heart's gotta run
There's a place in the sun
And before my life is done
Got to find me a place in the sun
You know when times are bad
And you're feeling sad
I want you to always remember
Yes, there's a place in the sun
Where there's hope for ev'ryone
Where my poor restless heart's gotta run
There's a place in the sun
Where there's hope for ev'ryone
Where my poor restless heart's gotta run
There's a place in the sun
Where there's hope for ev'ryone...

Tu non passi di qui
per non rivedermi ancor
ma perchè non lo so
Puoi passare di qui
io non ti saluterò
se con lui ti vedrò
Ma se il sole lassù
è di tutti e tu lo sai
e la strada appartiene
anche a te
non fa niente se tu
nel vedermi penserai
che non splende più
un soleper me
Ti vergogni di me
se ti vedo insieme a lui
io lo so, io lo so
Ma se il sole lassù
è di tutti e non per me
scorderò il tuo amor
Ma se il sole lassù
è di tutti e tu lo sai
che la strada appartiene
anche a te
(lo so)
no fa niente se tu
nel vedermi penserai
che non splende
più il sole
per me
Ma se il sole lassù
è di tutti e tu lo sai
che la strada appartiene

no fa niente se tu
nel vedermi penserai
che non splende
più il sole

Hummin' To Myself
Composer(s): Sammy Fain; Siegel Magidson; Monty Siegel
Performer(s): Connie Boswell;
and various other artists
I am a singer of love songs
Songs that are happy and gay
But how can I sing my love songs?
My lover's gone away
I've got the words, and I've got the tune
I've been rehearsing under the moon
But I've got nobody to hear my song
So I'm hummin' to myself
I've got the place, I've got the time
I've got a lot of love words that rhyme
But I've got nobody to hear my song
So I'm hummin' to myself
Mmm - mmm - mmm - mmm
I guess it just had to be
Mmm - mmm - mmm - mmm
Won't someone listen to me?
I've got the words and I've got the tune
I'd like to croon it under the moon
But I've got nobody to hear my song
So I'm hummin' to myself

The Cockroach That Ate Cincinnati
The Cockroach That Ate Cincinnati
Composer(s): Doug Drill
Performer(s): Rose & The Arrangement
Uh-uh, don't touch that dial!
I must offer to you a confession
I like movies that give me a fright
If the subject is horror, I got to see more or
I won't be contented all night.
You may call it my ghoulish obsession
It's a subject on which I get chatty
But the worst one it seems, haunting all of my dreams
Was the cockroach that ate Cincinnati!
I've seen ghouls and hobgoblins and witches
And some moth-eaten werewolves with fangs
There were creatures that chattered and others that clattered
And Japanese monsters with fangs (ah-so)
Frankenstein gives me the shakes
And Count Dracula's driving me batty
But they're not on a par with the worst one by far
The cockroach that ate Cincinnati (ha ha ha ha)!
Oh, he must have needed a seltzer
It's amazing how much he got down!
For lunch, he'd just chew up a suburb or two
And for dinner, he ate the whole town (Burp!)
Willard just sent me out laughing
I thought Ben looked a little bit ratty (sorry, sorry about that)
But they're not half as bad as the worst scare I've had
The Cockroach that ate Cincinnati!
Oh, my heart nearly stopped; he would never be topped
The cockroach that ate Cincinnati! Ole!

Humble Stance
Humble Stance
Composer(s): Jim Crichton; Peter Rochon; Michael Sadler
Performer(s): Saga
Lately I've been watching a little complex grow
You know, you gotta know
That's why I chose to tell ya
That humble stance and timid glance makes your world turn so slow
You know, you gotta know
There's no one going to help you
Watching you, that shyness too, with everyone you know
You know, you gotta know
That's how they step around you
It takes you twice the time to find the things you're looking for
You know, you're moving slow
No one will stop to tell you
You can light up anyone you please
You should spend less time down on your knees
Lately I've been watching a little complex grow
You know, you gotta know
That's why I chose to tell ya
That humble stance and timid glance makes your world turn so slow
You know, you gotta know
There's no one going to help you

I got your letter yesterday
From some small town I never knew
It told me you were on your way
But not where you were going to
You said you're following the sun
But do you really know for sure
For after all is said and done
Just what it is you' re looking for
There' s a place in my heart
I wish that your eyes could see
And there' s no one on earth
Who loves you as much as me
If you just travel on and on
Till I don't know where
There's a place in my heart
You may never find again
And so you travel with the wind
You' ll find some road to fly along
And though your letter says the word
Your heart may soon forget the song
Then you may someday write the poem
That tells your life in words of fire
But you will never have a home
Or find the love that you desire
There' s a place in my heart
I wish that your eyes could see
And there' s no one on earth
Who loves you as much as me
If you just travel on and on
Till I don't know where
There's a place in my heart
You may never find again
And so heading for the sea
Now that the flowers are in bloom
Just when the wild mimosa tree
Is like the colour of our room
If you just travel on and on
Till I don't know where
There's a place in my heart
You may never find again

Humanos
Humanos
Performer(s): Pablo Guerrero
Maquillan sus mentiras de palabras hermosas
aceptan doctrinas para saber qué pensar
construyen laberintos y ocultan la salida
creen que los líderes les traerán la libertad
Matan por ideas como Tú Eres Distinto
necesitan el agua y envenenan el mar
tienen sed en el siglo de la Coca-Cola
pagan luz eléctrica y andan en la oscuridad
Pero cuando se aman
cuando se encuentran
pero cuando se sienten
cuando se inventan
los dioses suelen visitar a los humanos
Buscan petróleo y lo convierten en humo
viven en la tierra y sueñan con volar
no son creyentes pero dicen te adoro
viven juntos y padecen de soledad
Pero cuando se aman
cuando se encuentran
pero cuando se sienten
cuando se inventan
los dioses suelen visitar a los humanos

Het heeft gesneeuwd in Saint-Tropez
De palmen kreunen van de kou
De anders oh zo blauwe zee
Is grijs en kleurloos zonder jou
In de Provence ligt er ijs
En rode wijn brengt geen soelaas
Ik mis ons huis, ons klein paleis
Daar in het zoete land van Waas
Steek het vuur in de haard maar aan
Ik wil hier vandaan
Zelfs al scheen hier de zon
Het is tijd om hier weg te gaan
Steek het vuur in de haard maar aan
Ik wil weer naar huis
Ik keer morgen terug voor altijd
Morgen ben ik thuis
De winter weegt op Avignon
De brug staat er bevroren bij
De ijsverkoper in Vaison
Heeft zich vergist van jaargetij
Ik breng wat bloemen voor je mee
Mimosa en wat zuiders kruid
Maar 't liefste pluk ik met ons twee
De winterbloemen van de ruit
Steek het vuur in de haard maar aan
Ik wil hier vandaan
Zelfs al scheen hier de zon
Het is tijd om hier weg te gaan
Steek het vuur in de haard maar aan
Ik wil weer naar huis
Ik keer morgen terug voor altijd
Morgen ben ik thuis
