Deuce And A Quarter
Deuce And A Quarter
Composer(s): Kevin Gordon - Gwil Owen
Performer(s): Scotty Moore & D.J. Fontana; Keith Richards; Kevin Gordon
Buy a bottle get to feeling good
World's lookin' like you think it should
Happy hour, Honey everyone's your friend
Closing time shut her down again
Up in the morning and your facing town
Walk the same streets up and down
A fire burning in your worn out shoes
Every day you got something to prove
A curb feelers and fender skirts
Scrub the chrome 'till your elbow hurts
A pinstripes and cherry packs
grass stains on your second hand slacks
Keep on bettin' think you gonna win
You can dress it up and try to pretend
a car's a car and that's a fact
A deuce and a quarter aint no cadillac
Uncle Johnny has a country act
His headache is a heart attack
Honey bring me down a couple more pills
Call the lawyer up and change my will
Ham sandwich and a glass of tea
Lunch is cheap but never free
Shaking hands and scratching backs
Grease stains on your second hand slacks
Keep on bettin think you're gonna win
You can dress it up and try to pretend
A car's a car and thats a fact
A deuce and a quarter ain't a cadillac
Got a date gotta dress with care
Wash the gray right outa my hair
Clean the car and when I'm through
Wax it up till it looks brand new
A curb feelers and a fender skirt
Scrub the chrome 'till your elbows hurt
Pinstripes and cherry packs
grass stains on your second hand slacks
Keep on bettin' think your gonna win
You can dress it up and try to pretend
A car's a car, and that's a fact
but a Deuce and a quarter aint no cadillac
A car's a car, and that's a fact
but a Deuce and a quarter aint no cadillac

Performer(s): Boney M.
By the rivers of Babylon,where we sat down
Yeaaaaeah we wept, remembered Zion (2x)
When the wicked carried us away in capitivity
Requered from us a song
Now, how shall we sing the Lord's song in a strange land
Sunny, yesterday my life was filled with rain
Sunny, you smiled at me and really eased the pain
The dark days are gone and the bright days are here
my sunny one shines so sincere
Sunny, one so true, I love you
Freeze!!!!!!!
I'm Ma Baker, But Yer Han"S In The Air An' Gimme All Yer Money
She's crazy, like a fool
What about daddy cool
daddy, daddy cooool, daddy, daddy coooool
daddy, daddy cooool daddy, daddy coooool
Hey hey hey
hey hey hey hey
hey hey hey hey
There lived a certain man in Russia long ago
He was big and strong, in his eyes a flaming glow
most people looked at him with terror and with fear
But the Moscow chicks he was such a lovely dear
He could preach the bible like a preacher, full of extasy and fire
But, he also was a kind of teacher in them put desire
Ra ra Rasputin
Lover of the russian queen
They put some poison in his wine
Ra ra Rasputin,
Russia's greatest love machine
He drank it all an' set up in fire
Ra ra Rasputin
lover of the Russian queen
they did'nt quit, they wanted his head
Ra ra Rasputin
russia's greatest love machine
An' so they shot him 'til he was dead
O those Russians

Detroit Rock City
Composer(s): Bob Ezrin - Paul Stanley
First release by: Kiss - 1976
Covered by multiple other artists
I feel uptight on a Saturday night
Nine o' clock, the radio's the only light
I hear my song and it pulls me through
Comes on strong, tells me what I got to do
I got to
Get up
Everybody's gonna move their feet
Get down
Everybody's gonna leave their seat
You gotta lose your mind in Detroit Rock City
Get up
Everybody's gonna move their feet
Get down
Everybody's gonna leave their seat
Getting late
I just can't wait
Ten o'clock and I know I gotta hit the road
First I drink, then I smoke
Start up the car, and I try to make the midnight show
Get up
Everybody's gonna move their feet
Get down
Everybody's gonna leave their seat
Movin' fast, doin' 95
Hit top speed but I'm still movin' much too slow
I feel so good, I'm so alive
I hear my song playin' on the radio
It goes
Get up
Everybody's gonna move their feet
Get down
Everybody's gonna leave their seat
Twelve o'clock, I gotta rock
There's a truck ahead, lights starin' at my eyes
Oh my God, no time to turn
I got to laugh 'cause I know I'm gonna die
Why
Get up
Everybody's gonna move their feet
Get up
Everybody's gonna leave their seat

Composer(s): Mel Tillis - Danny Dill
First recording/First release by: Bobby Bare - 1962/1963
Covered by multiple other artists
I want to go home, I want to go home
Oh Lord, I want to go home
Last night I went to sleep in Detroit city
And I dreamed about those cotton fields and home
I dreamed about my mother, dear old papa, sister and brother
And I dreamed about that girl, who's been waitin' for so long
I want to go home, I want to go home
Oh Lord, I want to go home
Home folks think I'm big in Detroit city
From the letters that I write they think I'm fine
But by day I make the cars, and by night I make the bars
If only they could read between the lines
I want to go home, I want to go home
Oh Lord, I want to go home
You know, I rode a freight train north to Detroit city
And after all these years I find I've just been wasting my time
So I think I'll take my foolish pride, put it on a southbound freight and ride
Go on back to the ones I left, who've been waitin' for so long
I want to go home, I want to go home
Oh Lord, I want to go home

La la la la...
Now when school is over
And the weekend's come
My mind's made up
To have some fun

And I tell her the news
Hurry up and put on
Your rocking shoes

(Rock in rocking shoes)
I call her again
And I tell her the news
We'll rock

Oh, we're gonna dance
Away the blues
Oh, well, I open my wallet
And I count my loot
I comb my hair and
I brush my suit

Gonna lose my blues
Swing my baby in

Well, as soon as I get
To the sugar shop
I'm gonna grab my baby
And start a hop
Dancing and a jumping
And a carrying on
When the music stops
I'll still be gone
When the hop is over
To the house, I go
I love my baby
And I tell her so
We kiss goodnight
And my head, I lose
And I bound away
In my rocking shoes
I'm gonna rock
(Rock in rocking shoes)
I call her again
And I tell her the news
We'll rock
(Rock in rocking shoes)
Oh, we're gonna dance away
Oh, we're gonna dance away
Oh, we're gonna dance away

Detrás Del Muro De Los Lamentos
Detrás Del Muro De Los Lamentos
Composer(s): Fito Paéz
Performer(s): Fito Paéz
Gota que cae sobre el cielo, no besa el suelo
lluvia que cae del cielo, y yo la bebo
Ah... tu corazón
desnudo mar abierto, no sopla el viento
todo resulto un juego, que quita el miedo
y cuando llega la cura
calma el a oro la luna
y yo que andaba ciego
cayo el cielo y no beso el suelo
y se detuvo el tiempo
detrás del Muro de los Lamentos
Todo lo que hicimos
la mentira y la verdad
todo lo que hicimos
sigue vivo en un lugar
Todo poco a poco
va dejando de importar
todo menos esos paraísos en el mar
y navegar y navegar y navegar...

Appetite
Appetite
Composer(s): Paddy McAloon
Performer(s): Prefab Sprout
Please be careful is never careful
Till it hears the gun
She will always pay the bills
For the having big fun
He talks so well, what can you do
It's pretty plain he means it too
I don't want to sell you lines
I only mean to do you right
But I'm a simple slave of appetite
I'm a poor slave of appetite
Hunger howls, hungers red
Hungers stays till it's fed
Then it some h-h-how fades
Then it somehow leaves your sight
Depending on it's appetite
Depending on your appetite
So if you take - Then put back good
If you steal - be Robin Hood
If your eyes are wanting all you see
Then I think I'll name you after me
I think I'll call you appetite
Here she is with two small problems
And the best part of the blame
Wishes she could call him heartache
But it's not a boy's name
If you grow up to be, just like him, just like me
You're fighting for exclusive rights
For honeymoons each sleepless night
In which case I'll call you appetite
Yes I think I'll call you appetite
So if you take - Then put back good
If you steal - be Robin Hood
If your eyes are wanting all you see
Then I think I'll name you after me
I think I'll call you appetite
So if you take - Then put back good
If you steal - be Robin Hood
If your eyes are wanting all you see
Then I think I'll name you after me
I think I'll call you appetite
Then I think I'll name you after me
I think I'll call you appetite

Detour Ahead
Detour Ahead
Composer(s): Lou Carter - Herb Ellis - Johnny Freigo
Performer(s): Billie Holiday
Smooth road, clear day
But why am I the only one
Travelin' this way
How starnge the road you love
Should be so easy
Can there be a detour ahead
Wake up, slow down
Before you crash in that yard
None of that plown
You fool, you're headin'
In the wrong direction
Can't you see the detour ahead
The further you travel
The harder to unraffle
The way he spins around you
Turn back while there is time
Can't you see the danger sign
Subshoulders surround you
Smooth road, clear night
Oh lucky me, that suddenly
I saw the light
I'm turniung back away
From all this trouble
Smooth road, smooth road
No detour ahead

Ein Mensch Ohne Namen
Ein Mensch Ohne Namen
((Adapted from: A Horse With No Name (America) - 1971))
Composer(s): Dewey Bunnell
Performer(s): P. Bernd
Am ersten Tag meiner Reise
sah ich Bäume rings umher
Und ich hörte Stimmen singen
zwischen Gras und Blättermeer
Der Nebel der Nacht und der Morgentau
sponnen Netzte im Gesicht
Die Vögel lasen aus meiner Hand
ich vergass den Lärm der Stadt
Da sind nur Erde und Wasser
und ein Mensch ohne Namen
die sich immer in die Augen seh’n
Es sind Freunde, sie brauchen keinen Namen
weil sie sich sowieso oihne Worte versteh’n
Nach zwei Tagen konnt‘ ich Berge seh’n
und die Luft war wie Kristall
Ich träumte, es fiel aus dem Wasserfall
eine Blume in meinen Mund
Und ein alter Zwerg kam aus der Höhle im Berg
und baute mir aus Moos ein Bett
Da sind nur Erde und Wasser
und ein Mensch ohne Namen
die sich immer in die Augen seh’n
Es sind Freunde, sie brauchen keinen Namen
weil sie sich sowieso ohne Worte versteh’n
Dann am Ende war es rings um mich leer
aus den Bergen floss nun ein Meer
Und ich spürte das Salz auf meiner Haut
der Staub war aufgetaut
Im Sand sah ich das Leben
das sich unter der Wüste der Wellen
ein Reich gebaut
Keine Menschen können je hinein
leben weiter in ihrem Meeresstein
Da sind nur Erde und Wasser
und ein Mensch ohne Namen
die sich immer in die Augen seh’n
Es sind Freunde, sie brauchen keinen Namen
weil sie sich sowieso oihne Worte versteh’n

Detour (There's A Muddy Road Ahead)
Composer(s): Paul Westmoreland
First release by: Spade Cooley and His Orch.
Covered by multiple other artists
Detour, there's a muddy road ahead, detour
Paid no mind to what it said
Detour, oh these bitter things I find
Should have read
That detour sign
Headed down life's crooked road, lots of things I never knowed
Because of me not knowin', I now pine
Trouble got in the trail, spent the next 5 years in jail
Should have read (should have read) that detour sign
Detour, there's a muddy road ahead, detour
Paid no mind to what it said
Detour, oh these bitter things I find
Should have read
That detour sign
When I got right to the place where it said "About Face"
I thought that all my worries were behind
But the farther I go, more sorrow I know
Should have read (should have read)
That detour sign
Detour, there's a muddy road ahead, detour
Paid no mind to what it said
Detour, oh these bitter things I find
Should have read
That detour sign
When I got stuck in the mud all my hopes dropped with a thud
I guess that my heart strings are made of twine
Have no willpower to get from the hole that I'm in yet
Should have read (should have read) that detour sign
Detour, there's a muddy road ahead, detour
Paid no mind to what it said
Detour, oh these bitter things I find
Should have read
That detour sign
Should have read that detour sign
Should have read that detour sign (that detour sign)

The Busiest Memory In Town
The Busiest Memory In Town
Composer(s): Geoffrey Morgan
Performer(s): Dickey Lee; Ronnie Milsap; Ernest Tubb
You're with me from my first cup of coffee
Right up till that last beer goes down
You're on my mind so I can't sleep till morning
You're the busiest mem'ry in town
Had a talk last night with your new love
But then he mentioned a few more you'd found
So we drank a toast to the next one and the busiest mem'ry in town
Babe sometimes you simply amaze me
With how fast you spread that heartache around
It must be hello, I love you, I'm leaving
You're the busiest mem'ry in town
Babe sometimes you simply amaze me...
It must be hello, I love you, I'm leaving
You're the busiest mem'ry in town

Deteriorata!
Deteriorata!
Composer(s): Christopher Guest - Tony Hendra
Performer(s): National Lampoon; Norman Rose
You are a fluke
Of the universe
You have no right to be here...
Deteriorata! Deteriorata!
Go placidly
Amid the noise and waste
And remember what comfort there may be
In owning a piece thereof
Avoid quiet and passive persons
Unless you are in need of sleep
Ro-tate your tires
Speak glowingly of those greater than yourself
And heed well their advice
Even though they be turkeys
Know what to kiss... and when!
Consider that two wrongs never make a right
But that three... do
Wherever possible, put people on hold
Be comforted that in the face of all aridity and disillusionment
And despite the changing fortunes of time
There is always a big future in computer maintenance
You are a fluke
Of the universe
You have no right to be here
And whether you can hear it or not
The universe is laughing behind your back
Remember the Pueblo
Strive at all times to bend, fold, spindle and mutilate
Know yourself
If you need help, call the FBI
Exercise caution in your daily affairs
Especially with those persons closest to you
That lemon on your left, for instance
Be assured that a walk through the ocean of most souls
Would scarcely get your feet wet
Fall not in love therefore
It will stick to your face
Gracefully surrender the things of youth
The birds, clean air, tuna, Taiwan
And let not the sands of time
Get in your lunch
Hire people with hooks
For a good time call 606-4311
Ask for "Ken"
Take heart amid the deepening gloom
That your dog is finally getting enough cheese
And reflect that whatever misfortune may be your lot
It could only be worse in Milwaukee
You are a fluke
Of the universe
You have no right to be here
And whether you can hear it or not
The universe is laughing behind your back
Therefore, make peace with your god
Whatever you conceive him to be
Hairy thunderer, or cosmic muffin
With all its hopes, dreams, promises and urban renewal
The world continues to deteriorate
Give up!
You are a fluke
Of the universe
You have no right to be here
And whether you can hear it or not
The universe is laughing behind your back

Willy Jones
Composer(s): Buck Owens)
Performer(s): Susan Raye; Leslie Morrisett; Sylvie
Met a boy named Willie Jones
Comes from the wrong side of town
Daddy said he ain't no good
Don't want him hanging around
Mama said that I'm too young to know what I feel
But I know I love Willy Jones and I always will
Willy Jones, it's you and me against all the world
I don't care what people, say I'm gonna be your girl
Just because our love is young, don't mean it's not real
God knows I love Willy Jones and I always will
Hammer nails and puppy dog tails is what they call Willy Jones
Tambourines and guitar strings don't make us all wrong
Don't do this and don't do that, has got my future looking dim
Oh Willy Jones can't come to me
I'm gonna go to him
Willy Jones it's you and me...
Willy Jones it's you and me...

Detalhes
((Italian Version: Dettagli (Ornella Vanoni) - 1973))
Composer(s): Roberto Carlos - Erasmo Carlos
First release by: Roberto Carlos - 1971
Covered by multiple other artists
Não adianta nem tentar me esquecer
Durante muito tempo em sua vida eu vou viver
Detalhes tão pequenos de nós dois
São coisas muito grandes pra esquecer
E a toda hora vão estar presentes
Você vai ver
Se um outro cabeludo aparecer na sua rua
E isto lhe trouxer saudades minhas
A culpa é sua
O ronco barulhento do seu carro
A velha calça desbotada ou coisa assim
Imediatamente você vai lembrar de mim
Eu sei que um outro deve estar falando ao seu ouvido
Palavras de amor como eu falei
Mas eu duvido
Duvido que ele tenha tanto amor
E até os erros do meu português ruim
E nessa hora você vai lembrar de mim
À noite envolvida no silêncio do seu quarto
Antes de dormir você procura o meu retrato
Mas na moldura não sou eu quem lhe sorri
Mas você vê o meu sorriso mesmo assim
E tudo isso vai fazer você lembrar de mim
Se alguém tocar seu corpo como eu
Não diga nada
Não vá dizer meu nome sem querer à pessoa errada
Pensando ter amor nesse momento
Desesperada você tenta até o fim
E até nesse momento você vai lembrar de mim
Eu sei que esses detalhes vão sumir na longa estrada
Do tempo que transforma todo amor em quase nada
Mas quase também é mais um detalhe
Um grande amor não vai morrer assim
Por isso de vez em quando você vai
Vai lembrar de mim

Covered by multiple other artists
Versions In Other Languages:
1963 - Donne Moi Ma Chance (Richard Anthony)
1963 - Geef Me Nog Een Kans (Marva)
I broke your heart dear, I was untrue
And now I've lost you, what can I do
Fate played its hand, dear, though we did try
Too late to worry, too blue to cry
Our love is ended, you say we're through
You found a new love that's good to you
I hope you're happy, for I'll get by
Too late to worry, too blue to cry
We made our vows, dear, to never part
We laughed, we loved then we crossed our hearts
I was unfaithful, so here am I
Too late to worry, too blue to cry
I've played around, dear, I've had my way
But now I find, dear, I've had to pay
I'll always love you as days go by
Too late to worry, too blue to cry
Upon my pillow last night I lay
I dreamed of bygones and I did pray
But it's all over, we've said goodbye
Too late to worry, too blue to cry

Apology
Composer(s): Valentine - Heatherton
Performer(s): The Go-Go's
I will find a way to move on
Discontent had its day the pleasure's gone
If you ask me to describe
What I could want with all I've got
I'd say good days and thank you's
Instead of all these question marks
'Cause when I found you
I thought my life was charmed
And we'd be safe from what
Has happened now has happened now
Apology I'm Sorry Apology I'm Sorry
Apology I'm Sorry But I Have No Regrets
No one knows just why I can't stay
Starting over's alright the end so far away
I know I seem careless
My moods they change like the weather
So I ask your forgiveness
While I pull myself together
In the meantime
I live I work I wait I hope
I still have faith
That what was mine can still be mine
Apology I'm Sorry Apology I'm Sorry
Apology I'm Sorry But I Have No Regrets
In the meantime
I live I work I wait I hope
I still have faith
That what was mine can still be mine
Apology I'm Sorry Apology I'm Sorry
Apology I'm Sorry But I Have No Regrets
You'll Be Sorry I'll Be Sorry Everybody Will Be Sorry
