Wake Up, Irene
Wake Up, Irene
Composer(s): Weldon Allard; Johnny Hathcock
Performer(s): Hank Thompson;
The Maddox Brothers & Rose
For months and months and months around the country
Everybody sang Irene goodnight
But she wouldn't go to bed no matter what they said
Though everybody tried with all their might
She stayed awake while steel guitars were a going
In every honky-tonk she could be seen
But she finally went to bed and covered up her head
And now there's not a thing can wake Irene
Wake up Irene you've slept too long
Wake up Irene it's time to move along
Wake up Irene and pay for your bed
Wake up Irene or folks will think your dead
Lot's of guitar pickers by the dozen
Sang goodnight Irene all night and day
And even Crosby too with his bobobabobedo
Tried to get Irene to hit the hay
Well I guess they finally sang her off to slumber
They must have tried a million times or more
But oh my aching back when she finally hit the sack
Man you ought to hear that women snore
Wake up Irene you've slept too long
Wake up Irene it's time to move along
Wake up Irene and pay for your bed
Wake up Irene or folks will think your dead

chanson, Suzanne
I'm just a man
please let me
sing my song
it's been ten years
since I met you
and I first held your hand
my Suzanne
that summer night
we dreamed of
days to come
I held you there
beside me
we carved the wishing tree
and then
we played the part of lovers
on that summer night
we played the part of lovers
you gave all your love and you made it seem right
you made me a man oh so young in my life
one simple verse
like the words in a play
you spoke your lines
and I knew I must stay
oh I must stay
now we are free
and we are growing old
the wishing tree still stands there
and shades our memories
of when
we played the part of lovers
on that summer night
we played the part of lovers
you gave all your love and you made it seem right
you made me a man oh so young in my life

Wake Up Sunshine
Wake Up Sunshine
Composer(s): Robert Lamm
Performer(s): Chicago
Wake up sunshine
Open up your sleepy eyes for me
Can't have you hidin'
I've been waiting all the night
People waiting for the light
Sunshine, sunshine
Wake up sunshine
Let me feel your warm sunlight on me
Can't have you hidin'
Night was long and night was cold
But today we're one day older
Sunshine, you make my life sunshine
You know I'm talkin' to you
I know you're knowin' it too
So just stop hidin' your face
Just open your eyes
Just smile your smile
I'm talkin' to you
Wake up sunshine
Ooh, it's good to have you here with me
Can't have you hidin'
Can't imagine what I'd do
But feel too lonely without you
Sunshine, sunshine
You got to wake up girl
And face the day ahead

Song For Me
Song For Me
Composer(s): Dave Cousins - Brian Willoughby
Performer(s): Dave Cousins
Once I was a minstrel boy, I sang just like a bird
I used to trade in memories, I relived every word
But the galleries are empty now, the crowds have all gone home
I locked away my songs, I sang them on my own
I sang them on my own
Now those who walk behind me have heard it all before
They knew the many reasons I screwed them like some whore
Like jumped-up jacks of all trades they walked with fettered legs
And wondered where the tent went when I pulled out all the pegs
I pulled out all the pegs
This song is sung for me
This song is sung for me
This song is sung for me
This song is sung for me
This song is sung for me
The peaceful queen of platitudes sat resting on his throne
His laurel wreath was slipping as he retrieved his buried bone
Ah but I had got there sooner, I had chewed away the fat
While he slept in the gutter, I slept on the mat
I slept on the mat
This song is sung for me
This song is sung for me
This song is sung for me
This song is sung for me
This song is sung for me
This song is sung for me
This song is sung for me

Composer(s): Boudleaux Bryant; Felice Bryant
Performer(s): The Everly Brothers
Wake up, little Susie, wake up
Wake up, little Susie, wake up
We’ve both been sound asleep, wake up, little Susie, and weep
The movie’s over, it’s four o’clock, and we’re in trouble deep
Wake up little Susie
Wake up little Susie, well
What are we gonna tell your mama
What are we gonna tell your pa
What are we gonna tell our friends when they say 'ooh-la-la'
Wake up little Susie
Wake up little Susie, well
I told your mama that you’d be in by ten
Well Susie baby looks like we goofed again
Wake up little Susie
Wake up little Susie, we got to go home
Wake up, little Susie, wake up
Wake up, little Susie, wake up
The movie wasn’t so hot, it didn’t have much of a plot
We fell asleep, our goose is cooked, our reputation is shot
Wake up little Susie
Wake up little Susie, well
What are we gonna tell your mama
What are we gonna tell your pa
What are we gonna tell our friends when they say 'ooh-la-la'
Wake up little Susie
Wake up little Susie
Wake up little Susie

Song For Jeffrey
Song For Jeffrey
Composer(s): Ian Anderson
Performer(s): Jethro Tull; Blodwyn Pig
Gonna lose my way tomorrow
Gonna give away my car
I’d take you along with me
But you would not go so far
Don’t see what I do not want to see
You don’t hear what I don’t say
Won’t be what I don’t want to be
I continue in my way
Don’t see, see, see where I’m goin’
Don’t see, see, see where I’m goin’
Don’t see, see, see where I’m goin’ to
I don’t want to
Everyday I see the mornin’ come on in the same old way
I tell myself tomorrow brings me things I would not dream today

Wake Up Everybody
Wake Up Everybody
Composer(s): Victor Carstarphen; Gene McFadden
John Whitehead
Performer(s): Harold Melvin
Wake up everybody no more sleepin' in bed
No more backward thinkin' time for thinkin' ahead
The world has changed so very much
From what it used to be so
there is so much hatred war an' poverty
Wake up all the teachers time to teach a new way
Maybe then they'll listen to whatcha have to say
Cause they're the ones who's coming up and the world is in their hands
when you teach the children teach 'em the very best you can
Chorus
The world won't get no better if we just let it be
The world won't get no better we gotta change it yeah, just you and me
Wake up all the doctors make the ol' people well
They're the ones who suffer an' who catch all the hell
But they don't have so very long before the Judgement Day
So won'tcha make them happy before they pass away
Wake up all the builders time to build a new land
I know we can do it if we all lend a hand
The only thing we have to do is put it in our mind
Surely things will work out they do it every time
Repeat Chorus

A Song For Europe
A Song For Europe
Composer(s): Andy Mackay - Bryan Ferry
First release by: Roxy Music - 1973
Covered by: Michaela Melián - 2004
Here as I sit
At this empty cafe
Thinking of you
I remember
All those moments
Lost in wonder
That we´ll never
Find again
Though the world
Is my oyster
It´s only a shell
Full of memories
And here by the Seine
Notre-Dame casts
A long lonely shadow
Now - only sorrow
No tomorrow
There´s no today for us
Nothing is there
For us to share
But yesterday
These cities may change
But there always remains
My obsession
Through silken waters
My gondola glides
And the bridge - it sighs ...
I remember
All those moments
Lost in wonder
That we´ll never
Find again
There´s no more time for us
Nothing is there
For us to share
But yesterdays
Ecce momenta
Illa mirabilia
Quae captabit
In aeternum
Memor
Modo dolores
Sunt in dies
Non est reliquum
Vero tantum
Comminicamus
Perdita
Tous ces moments
Perdus dans l`enchantement
Qui ne reviendront
Jamais
Pas d´aujourd´hui pour nous
Pour nous il n´y a rien
À partager
Sauf le passé

Wake Up Dolores
Wake Up Dolores
Composer(s): David Hidalgo; Louie Pérez
Performer(s): Los Lobos; Latin Playboys
My legs are tired
My face feels hot
Wake up Dolores
Please try to walk
Oh sacred night
Our lght is dim
We have so far to go
The stones are hard
On this endless road
Oh sacred night
On quetzal plumes
Of dying suns
And purple moons
Oh sacred night
As an eagle soars
Our spirits fly
To our gentle rest
Under loving sky
Oh sacred night
On quetzal plumes
Of dying suns
And purple moons
Oh sacred night
Ocuiltin
Moyacatla
Otlica
Auh in caltech

A Song
A Song
Performer(s): Vangelis
I would like to write a song
That is so vibrant and so intimate
That the earth would adopt it
As if it had sprung like the stream
From the land's memory
As if no one had written it but life itself
And my song would travel along
From bird to wing, to tree
To breeze to heart to breath to song
Because a song belongs to everyone
Like the spring

Wake Up And Make Love With Me
Wake Up And Make Love With Me
Composer(s): Ian Dury; Chas Jankel
Performer(s): Ian Dury; Los Fabulosos Cadillacs;
Sinéad O'Connor; Renauld
I come awake
With a gift for womankind
You're still asleep
But the gift don't seem to mind
Rise on this occasion
Halfway up your back
Sliding down your body
Touching your behind
You look so self-possessed
I won't disturb your rest
It's lovely when you're sleeping
But wide awake is best
Wake up and make love with me
Wake up and make love
Wake up and make love with me
I don't want to make you
I'll let the fancy take you
And you'll wake up and make love
You come awake
In a horny morning mood
And have a proper wriggle
In the naughty naked nude
Roll against my body
Get me where you want me
What happens next is private
It's also very rude
I'll go and get the post
And make some tea and toast
You have a lover's sleep, love
It's me that needs it most
Wake up and make love with me
Wake up and make love
Wake up and make love with me
I don't want to make you
I'll let the fancy take you
And you'll wake up and make love
Wake up and make love with me
Wake up and make love
Wake up and make love with me
Wake up and make love
Wake up
Wake up
Wake up
Wake up

À Mon Cou, À Ses Genoux
À Mon Cou, À Ses Genoux
Composer(s): Julien Clerc - Jean-Loup Dabadie - Craig Karp
Performer(s): Julien Clerc
J'aim' pas ses manières
Ni son caractère
J'aim' pas ses colères
J'aim' pas ce qu'ell' danse
J'aim' pas ce qu'ell' pense
J'aim' pas sa violence
Je suis fou qu'est-ce que j'fous´
À son cou à ses g'noux-ou-oux
J'suis jaloux comme un loup
Je n'suis plus rien du tou-ou-out
J'bois pas ce qu'elle boit
J'crois pas ce qu'elle croit
J'vois pas ce qu'ell'voit
J'aim' pas qu'ell' me siffle
J'aim' pas quand ell' griffe
J'aim' pas qu'ell' me sniffe
Je suis fou qu'est-c'que j'fous
À son cou à ses g'noux-ou-oux
J'suis jaloux comm'un loup
Je n'suis plus rien du tout
Je m'endors sur son cœur
Je m'réveill' sur son corps
Comme sur un trésor
Comm'si c'était de l'o-o-or
O-o-o-or
O-o-or
J'aim' pas ses copains
J'aim' pas ses bouquins
J'ai mordu son chien
J'aim' pas ses discours
Ni ses calembours
C'est pas mon humour
J'aim' pas ses chansons
J'aim' pas ses façons
Ses jeux de garçon
J'aim' pas ses coutumes
J'aim' pas ses costumes
J'aim' pas comme ell' fume
J'aim' pas ses trois sœurs
J'aim' pas son coiffeur
Ni ses jeans à fleurs
J'aim' pas ce qu'ell' danse...
J'bois pas ce qu'ell' boit...
J'aim' pas qu'ell' me siffle...

To the neighbors right away
When you are close to me
And my heart is dancing with delight

Heaven in my arms tonight
Shout it from the highest steeple
Ring the bells the whole night through
Wake the town and tell the people
Tell them I'm in love with you

Heaven in my arms tonight
Shout it from the highest steeple
Ring the bells the whole night through
Wake the town and tell the people
Tell them I'm in love with you

Heaven in my arms tonight
Shout it from the highest steeple
Ring the bells the whole night through

A Solid Bond In Your Heart
A Solid Bond In Your Heart
Composer(s): Paul Weller
Performer(s): The Jam; The Style Council
Feel is a word I can't explain
At least not in words that are plain
Make it easy to express
But I'll try to do my best
To hit you where it counts
I just want to build up
A solid bond in your heart
(Yeah) A solid bond in your heart (Aha)
I'm fuelled by the idea
That this world was made to share
But it never seems to work out
And all we seem to share
Is doubt and misery
Please let me try to build
A solid bond in your heart heart
Aah, I just want to build up
A solid bond in your heart heart
It's what's missing from this life
And the trust you need to ignite
Any dream worth holding dear
When that dream is so near
You gotta try and try to get it back
Push it to the limit and build
A solid bond in your heart

Why don't you, wake me, shake me

Why don't you, wake me, shake me
Don't let me sleep too late
Gotta get up in the

I'm bound to my garbage truck
My boss is a big fat slob
Can't even be a minute late
Or the boss'll blow his gate
Had a dream

Softer Ride
Softer Ride
Composer(s): Alan Lancaster - Rick Parfitt
Performer(s): Status Quo
I ain't gonna work, I ain't gonna work no more
Stay in bed til I'm satisfied, and let my head take a softer ride
I ain't gonna work, I aint gonna work no more
I ain't gonna work, I ain't gonna work no more
I'll find me a shack where it's cool inside
And turn my back on the cold outside
I ain't gonna work, I ain't gonna work no more
If I could go back to the job I had
Same old thing gonna drive me mad
So I ain't gonna work, I ain't gonna work no more
Never again will I have to be
Down
I ain't gonna work, I ain't gonna work no more
Stay in bed til I'm satisfied, and let my head take a softer ride
I ain't gonna work, I aint gonna work no more

Wake Me When It's Over
Wake Me When It's Over
Composer(s): Sammy Cahn; Jimmy Van Heusen
Performer(s): Andy Williams
If I am dreaming you've got your arms around me
Wake me when it's over
Wake me when it's over, not before
And if I'm dreaming that love at last has found me
Let me go on dreaming
Wake me when it's over and then let me go to sleep, mm, again
It's hard to believe, my dear, that you're here at all
Incredible, I pinch myself, you don't disappear at all
So if I'm hearing you tell some small-town justice you will not
forsake me
Takin' vows to make me yours ever more
Then darling, wake me when it's over, and not before
Ooh, wake me when it's over
Wake me when it's over and then back to sleep again
It's hard to believe, my dear, that you're here at all
Incredible, you don't disappear at all
So, tell that small-town justice you'll take me
Tell him you'll make me yours ever more
Then darling, wake me when it's over, not befo-o-o-o-ore!

A Soft Seduction
A Soft Seduction
Composer(s): David Byrne
Performer(s): David Byrne; DM Stith
The words of love are not enough
Though sweet as wine, as thick as blood
Passionless moments and we are homeless
Out on the street
But life is cool and things aren’t bad
Got what he wants, lost what he had
He’s soon adjusted and got accustomed to these new ways
Blame god, how can you loose
Singing such sweet rhythm and blues
Strange days, she said to me
Being in love don’t mean you’re free
But night reveals what daytime hides
Who lingers on, who sleeps outside
The soft seduction, the strong attraction
Somewhere downtown
A junkie’s song, a dancer’s knees
The laws of chance strange as it seems
Take us exactly where we most likely need to be
A junkie’s song, a dancer’s knees
The laws of chance strange as it seems
Take us exactly where we most likely need to be
