Do What I Have To Do


Do What I Have To Do
Composer(s): Phil Ochs
Performer(s): Phil Ochs; Exene Cervenka
All around this country, trouble in the air
And I hear the voices calling me
Asking do you know and do you care?
Do you know and do you care?
So I’m a-gonna do what I have to do
Say what I have to say
And I’m gonna be what I have to be
Now won’t you come on along with me?
Won’t you come along with me?
Don’t want to cause no sorrow
Don’t want to cause no pain
I’m only gonna cause what I have to cause
Until this land is free of shame
’til this land is free of shame
So I’m a-gonna do what I have to do
Say what I have to say
And I’m gonna be what I have to be
Now won’t you come on along with me?
Won’t you come along with me?
Only one thing I know, I know we’re not alone
Was a million here before we came
Be a million when we’re gone, we’re gone
Million when we’re gone
So I’m a-gonna do what I have to do
Say what I have to say
And I’m gonna be what I have to be
Now won’t you come on along with me?
Won’t you come along with me?
Oh, I’m afraid of trouble, yes I’m afraid of jail
But I’m more afraid, lord, not to try
More afraid of what happens, now, if we fail
What happens now if we fail
So I’m a-gonna do what I have to do
Say what I have to say
And I’m gonna be what I have to be
Now won’t you come on along with me?
Won’t you come along with me?

As Strong As Samson


As Strong As Samson
Composer(s): Gary Brooker - Keith Reid
Performer(s): Procol Harum
Psychiatrists and lawyers destroying mankind
Drivin’ ’em crazy...and stealing ’em blind
Bankers and brokers ruling the world
Storing the silver and hoarding the gold
Ain’t no use in preachers preaching
When they don’t know what they’re teaching
The weakest man be strong as Samson
When you’re being held to ransom
Famine and hardship in true living colour
Constant reminders...the plight of our brother
Daily starvation our diet of news
Fed to the teeth with a barrage of views
Ain’t no use in preachers preaching
When they don’t know what they’re teaching
The weakest man be strong as Samson
When you’re being held to ransom
Black men and white men, and arabs and jews
Causing congestion and filling the queues
Fighting for freedom the truth and the word
Fighting the war for the end of the world
Ain’t no use in preachers preaching
When they don’t know what they’re teaching
Weakest man be strong as Samson
When you’re being held to ransom

(Loretta)
Hello
(Conway)
Hello Loretta
(Loretta)
Darlin' I knew it was you
Oh please tell me what to do
You gave me the will to go on
As soon as I picked up the phone
The talk, is around that we're through
Oh darlin', tell me what to do
I knew that you'd tell me, they where wrong
As soon as I picked up the phone
Oh no, oh no
I can't believe that it's true
Oh no, oh no
I can't believe that we're through
You tell me it's over and done
You say that you had all your fun
But I can't believe you'll be gone
As soon as I hang up the phone
As soon as I hang up the phone
(Conway)
Goodbye Loretta

Do The Walls Come Down


Do The Walls Come Down
Composer(s): Paul Samwell-Smith - Carly Simon
Performer(s): Carly Simon
Do the walls come down
When you think of me
Do your eyes grow dim
Do the walls come down
When you think of me
Do you let me in
When you think of me
Do your eyes grow dim
Do the wall come down
When you think of me
Do you let me in
Something in my pocket
That was written years ago
In faded ink it says "You are my fire"
Do you think so....
Is it easier for you to say
You never loved me anyway
Or do you hide me in your attic trunk
Like a stowaway…

As Safe As Yesterday Is


As Safe As Yesterday Is
Composer(s): Peter Frampton - Marriott
Performer(s): Humble Pie
Can I face tomorrow
With the, with the news you bring me
My soul feels cold like ice
A pinprick makes no pain
Oh, hear me, listen, help me
I felt our thing change
From love to something else
Well, how can it plague my mind
A pinprick makes no pain
Oh, hear me, listen, help me
I shall find myself
But I must have the time
To sow the seeds of something new
Farmer, farmer plough the field
Harvest, harvest all you can
A corn field smells so sweet
A pinprick makes no pain
Hear me, listen, help me
But to follow the weaver of dreams
Behind the sun that knows, it seems that
I'm foresworn--a naked troubadour
I sit at court and I sing
To the Princess of Beauty and Light
She favours me though I'm merely
A minstrel of the night
There on my right
Sits the King with his clowns
He pays to laugh
While his queen lives on downs
And the smile on his brow is the crown
Morning bird sing, fill my ears
With the joy of our sorrow unmasked
Lend me your wings for the sunrays of dawn
Are here to last
I take my leave, as I leave I must take
All I have seen in my dreams--then I wake
And it is as safe as yesterday is

Do The Strand


Do The Strand
Composer(s): Brian Ferry
First release by: Roxy Music - 1973
and multiple other artists
There's a new sensation a fabulous creation
A danceable solution to teenage revolution
Do the strand love when you feel love
It's the new way and that's why we say
Do the strand
Do it on the tables Quaglino's place or Mabel's
Slow and gentle sentimental
All styles served here
Louis Seize he prefer Laissez faire strand
Tired of the tango fed up with fandango
Dance on moonbeams slide on rainbows
In furs or blue jeans you know what I mean
Do the strand
Had your fill of quadrilles the madison and cheap thrills
Bored with the beguine the samba isn't your scene
They're playing our tune by the pale moon
We're incognito down the Lido
And we like the strand
Arabs at oases Eskimos and Chinese
If you feel blue look through who's who
See la goulue and Nijinsky
Do the strandsky
Weary of the waltz and mashed potato schmaltz
Rhododendron is a nice flower
Evergreen it last forever
But it can't beat strand power
The Sphynx and Mona Lisa
Lolita and Guernica

As Rosas Não Falam (Ao Vivo)


As Rosas Não Falam (Ao Vivo)
Composer(s): Cartola
Performer(s): Beth Carvalho
Bate outra vez
Com esperanças o meu coração
Pois já vai terminando o verão enfim
Volto ao jardim
Com a certeza que devo chorar
Pois bem sei que não queres voltar para mim
Queixo-me às rosas, mas que bobagem
As rosas não falam
Simplesmente as rosas exalam
O perfume que roubam de ti
Devias vir
Para ver os meus olhos tristonhos
E, quem sabe sonhar com meus sonhos
Por fim

Do The Hula


Do The Hula
Composer(s): Don McDiarmid
Performer(s): Nã Leo Pilimehana
Way out there in mid-Pacific
They have some funny notions
One of them is most terrific
You have to talk with motions
Do the hula
If there's anything you'd like to say
It's the only way
You'll find that a trip around the island is fun
When once you`ve begun
Tell of the moon above so high
The humuhumunukunuku go swimming by
Talk about the boys all hurrying back
To the little brown gal in the little grass shack
Do the hula
If you`d like to whisper I love you
It's the thing to do
Picking flowers gets them everytime
In a tropic clime
When you walk on the silvery sands
You'll never have to talk
Simply use your hands
Do the hula
Go into your dance
Do the hula
Along the road to romance

As Old As You're Young


As Old As You're Young
Performer(s): Gentle Giant
Look at the mirror over there, what do you see?
Tell yourself a lie
Are you as old as you seem?
Feel something that you have to
Being open, an innocent, wise only when
Age can mellow the haste
New hopes, ambitions undone - you're only as old as you're young
Out of your youth and you'll find that the time goes
slipping away where no-one knows
Soon enough Winter is changing to Spring
always understand one life it goes
Never as old as you're young and everything still yet to find
Dreams not realized
Thoughts rising, duties and vows continue, can't wait for you
Now is the day, tomorrow comes without an end
Mark time follow the sun - you're only as old as you're young
Out of your youth and you'll find that the time goes
slipping away where no-one knows
Soon enough Winter is changing to Spring
always understand one life it goes
So as you look around, look at the things you knew
Never seeking the past
Forget all the things you have done - you're only as old as you're young
Still open eyed and promises never quite complete
Working head in the air
The coming of age never comes - You're only as old as you're young

Do The Funky Chicken


Do The Funky Chicken
Composer(s): Rufus Thomas
Performer(s): Rufus Thomas
Y'all come on in now
Come right on down front
I got something I want to show you
Now y'all heard of the Popcorn
Y'all heard of the Dog
You heard about all your other dances
But now there's a brand new dance
That's going around
I want to show you exactly what I'm talking about
I'm talking about the funky chicken, y'all ready?
You raise the left arm up
and your right arm too
Let me tell you just what to do
Start both of 'em to flapping
You start your feet to kicking
That's when you know
You doin' the funky chicken
You put both arms up across your face
You knees start wiggling all over the place
You flap your arms
and your feet start kicking
Then you know you doin' the funky chicken
Oh, I'm feeling it now
I feel so unnecessary
This is the kind
This is the kind of stuff
To make you feel like you
Want to do something nasty
Like waste some chicken gravy
On your white shirt
Right down front here we go y'all
You work both arms and you work both feet
Use a dab of gravy, you right on the beat
You flap your arms
And your feet start kicking
Then you know you doin' the funky chicken

As Much


As Much
Composer(s): Mel Tillis
Performer(s): Don Gibson
As much as the stars need the heaven
As much as the roses need dew
As much as the plea in a baby's cry
Well that's how much I need you
As much as the flowers need sunshine
As much as the sky needs the blue
As much as much as my love is true
Well that's how much I need you
I need you I need you to guide me this much I know it's true
You alone are my inspiration in everything I do
As much as the stars need the heaven...
Well that's how much I need you

As Minhas Meninas


As Minhas Meninas
Performer(s): Chico Buarque
Olha as minhas meninas
As minhas meninas
Pra onde é que elas vão
Se já saem sozinhas
As notas da minha canção
Vão as minhas meninas
Levando destinos
Tão iluminados de sim
Passam por mim
E embaraçam as linhas
Da minha mão
As meninas são minhas
Só minhas na minha ilusão
Na canção cristalina
Da mina da imaginação
Pode o tempo
Marcar seus caminhos
Nas faces
Com as linhas
Das noites de não
E a solidão
Maltratar as meninas
As minhas não
As meninas são minhas
Só minhas
As minhas meninas
Do meu coração

Hey everybody gather round
Listen to that bongo sound
Grab the first one in your reach
Now we're going to shake the beach

Dig right in and do the Clam
You can get your heart to spin
On the outside looking in
Moon ain't gonna last all night
Well let's work up an appetite
Do the Clam, do the Clam
Grab your barefoot baby by the hand
Turn and tease, hug and squeeze
Dig right in and do the Clam
Everybody's got that beat
Well listen to those happy feet
Ain't you glad that you found out
What the Clam is all about

Dig right in and do the Clam
Do the Clam, do the Clam

As Long As You Follow


As Long As You Follow
Composer(s): Christine McVie
Performer(s): Fleetwood Mac
I’ve been searching
For a pot of gold
Like the kind you find
At the end of the rainbow
I’ve been dreaming
Thought it was in vain
Ah but now you’re here
Can’t believe that you’re back again
Now I know I can’t lose
As long as you follow
I’m gonna win (I’m gonna win)
I’m gonna beg, steal, or borrow
As long as you follow
I’ve bee wandering
Gone away too far
But the road was rough
To get back where you are
And the sun went down
It never seemed to rise
Ah but now you’re here
With the light shining in your eyes
Now I know I can’t lose
As long as you follow
I’m gonna win (I’m gonna win)
I’m gonna beg, steal, or borrow
Yes I can live today
If you give me tomorrow
As long as you follow
Now I know I can’t lose
As long as you follow
I’m gonna win (I’m gonna win)
I’m gonna beg, steal, or borrow
Yes I can live today
If you give me tomorrow
As long as you follow
As long as you follow (as long as you follow)
As long as you follow (as long as you follow)
As long as you follow (as long as you follow)
As long as you follow (as long as you follow)

Do The Best You Can


Do The Best You Can
Composer(s): Allan Clarke - Tony Hicks - Graham Nash
Performer(s): The Hollies
When you come across
The guy who thinks he's boss
Yet never knows the reason why
He won't let you pass
Won't answer things you ask
He's got his orders do or die
Someone said to me
If you tip the doorman heavily
His doors will open wide for you
Goes to show what money can do
Win again lose again
Don't feel sad when things go bad
You just do the best you can
Do the best you can
Please be kind to those
Who fail to comprehend
And in time who knows
You'll maybe make a friend
If you leave your car
And you're not going far
Remember what time to be back
If it slips your mind
I'm sure in time you'll find
A Rita waiting in a mac
Someone said to me
If you tip the doorman heavily
His doors will open wide for you
Goes to show what money can do
Win again lose again
Don't feel sad when things go bad
You just do the best you can
Do the best you can
Win again lose again
Don't feel sad when things go bad
You just do the best you can
Do the best you can
Do the best you can

As Long As There's Music


As Long As There's Music
Composer(s): Sammy Cahn - Jule Styne
Performer(s): Frank Sinatra
and multiple other artists
As long as there's music and words of romance
The spell of a theme starts you to dream there's always a chance
As long as there's music, whatever the song
As long as there's music for sweethearts to sing
I'll sing you, my love, melodies of the birds on the wing
My loneliest days will never seem long
As long as there's music and you are the song
As long as there's music for sweethearts to sing
I'll sing you, my love, melodies of the birds on the wing
My loneliest days will never seem long
As long as there's music and you are the song
