Navajo Rug
Navajo Rug
Composer(s): Tom Russell; Ian Tyson
Performer(s): Ian Tyson;
Tom Russell; Jerry Jeff Walker
Well it's two eggs up on whiskey toast
Home fries on the side
Wash it down with roadhouse coffee
Burns up your inside
It's a canyon, Colorado diner
And a waitress I did love
I sat in the back 'neath an old stuffed bear
And a worn out Navajo rug
Now old Jack the boss, he left at six
And it's, 'Katie bar the door'
She'd pull down that Navajo rug
And she spread it on the floor
Hey, I saw lightning 'cross the sacred mountains
Saw woven turtle doves
When I was Iying next to Katie
On that old Navajo rug
Aye, aye, aye, Katie
Shades of red and blue
Aye, aye, aye, Katie
Whatever became of the Navajo rug and you?
I saw old Jack about a year ago
He said the place burned to the ground
And all I saued was this here old bear tooth
And Katie she's left town
But Katie, she got her souvenir too
Jack spit a tobacco plug
You shoulda seen her coming through the smoke
With that old Navajo rug
So every time I cross the sacred mountains
And lightning breaks above
It always takes me back in time
To my long lost Katie love
But everything keeps on a moving
And everyone's on the go
You don't find things that last anymore
Like an old woven Navajo
Aye, aye, aye, Katie
Shades of red and blue
Ayer aye, aye, Katie
Whatever became of the Navajo rug and you!

Composer(s): They Might Be Giants
Performer(s): They Might Be Giants
Don't cross the street in the middle
In the middle, in the middle, in the middle

Teach your eyes to look out
Teach your ears to hear
Walk up to the corner
Where the coast is clear
And wait...
And wait...
Until you see the light turn green

Naufragée Du Tendre
Naufragée Du Tendre
English Title: Shipwrecked
Composer(s): Philippe Tatartcheff; Anna McGarrigle
Performer(s): Kate & Anna McGarrigle
Dans une glace transparente
Un reflet ne reflètant rien
Lorsque je t'appelle
Tu ne réponds pas
Quand je suis arrivé
Tu n'étais déjà plus là
Je me suis écroulé en pleurant
C'était pas tellement çà
Qui m'avait chaviré
Mais pour la première fois tu me manquais
Quand j'étais avec toi
Que les jours étaient longs
Mais les nuits étaient trop courtes pour exprimer
La tendresse et le besoin
Que je ressentais parfois
De t'avoir auprès de moi te consoler
Que c'est bête de te parler
Quand t'es pas la pour m'écouter
Que c'est bête de te parler
Quand t'es pas là pour m'écouter
Que de fois j'ai supplié
Le destin de m'accorder
Un sourire, une parole, une attention
Combien de fois j'eus échangé
L'univers très volontiers
Pour un seul de tes regards si invitants
J'ai bien dû m'en aller
Je ne pouvais pas cèder
A la mélancolie m'enhavissant
Mais sans avoir d'autre intention
Que de partir tout bêtement
Et de masquer mon désarroi en me cachant
Que c'est bête de te parler...

In The Middle Of The House
In The Middle Of The House
Composer(s): Bob Hilliard
Performer(s): Vaughn Monroe
and multiple other artists
The railroad comes through the middle of the house
The railroad comes through the middle of the house
The trains all come through the middle of the house
Since the company bought the land
They let us live in the front of the house
They let us live in the back
But there ain't no living in the middle of the house
'Cause that's the railroad track
When a bill collector comes to the house
He knocks and bangs on the door
So we sit him right down in the middle of the house
And he never comes back no more
No, he never comes back no more
The railroad comes through the middle of the house
The railroad comes through the middle of the house
It comes and goes through the middle of the house
And the trains are all on time
And here comes the 5:09
The railroad comes through the middle of the house
The in and out of the middle of the house
Right smack dab through the middle of the house
Where the parlor used to be
There's a great big door in the front of the house
There's a little old door in the back
But we can't have doors in the middle of the house
'Cause that's the railroad track
A relative came to visit the house
He liked to scream and fuss
So we sat him right down in the middle of the house
And he never more bothered us
No, he never more bothered us
Oh, the railroad comes through the middle of the house
The railroad comes through the middle of the house
It comes and goes through the middle of the house
Since the trains are all on time
I'm singing this song in the middle of the house...
(Woooh-Woooh - sound of train rushing by)

Natureza Noturna
Natureza Noturna
Composer(s): Raimundo Fagner; Capinan
Performer(s): Raimundo Fagner
Eu tenho o mesmo segredo
Dos malditos solitários
Só a noite é minha amiga
A quem friamente confesso
A natureza noturna
Dos meus infernos diários
Nem a mulher que me ama
Se quer a moça de gênio
Nem a de riso argentino
Nem a de beijo flamengo
Nem a fã no seu afã
Nem as bonecas do tempo
Nem o poeta ordinário
Nem literato de prêmio
Eu tenho o mesmo segredo
Dos malditos solitários
Ninguém sabe a natureza
Dos meus infernos diários

In The Middle Of Nowhere
Composer(s): Buddy Kaye; Beatrice Verdi
Performer(s): Dusty Springfield
and multiple other artists
Where does our love lie?
In the middle of nowhere
Will it soon pass me by?
In the middle of nowhere
Baby, won't you tell me
What am I to do?
I'm in the middle of nowhere
Getting nowhere with you
Mmm, where did my heart land?
In the middle of nowhere
Where are the dreams I planned?
In the middle of nowhere
Listen to me baby
Listen to my plea
I'm in the middle of nowhere
And it's worrying me
Over and over again
You tell me you need my love
If what you say is true
Why can't we be together?
Over and over you tell me
I'm all that you're thinking of
Baby you know that I love you
But I can't wait forever
Where does our love lie?
In the middle of nowhere
How can you let it die?
In the middle of nowhere
Are you gonna leave me?
Leave my heart astray
I'm in the middle of nowhere
Come and show me the way
Over and over again
You tell me you need my love
Baby you know that I love you
But I can't wait forever
Where does our love lie?
In the middle of nowhere
How can you let it die?
In the middle of nowhere
Are you gonna leave me
And leave my heart astray
I'm in the middle of nowhere
Come and show me the way
Hey, where does our love lie?
Come on now
Where does our love lie?
Right slap in the middle of nowhere
Right slap in the middle of nowhere
Right slap in the middle of nowhere

In The Middle Of An Island
Composer(s): Nick Acquaviva; Ted Varnick
Performer(s): Tony Bennett
and multiple other artists
In the middle of an island
In the middle of the ocean
You and I beneath the moonlight
With just the monkeys and the palm trees
In the middle of an island
When it's time to do some kissin'
Plenty time for lotsa lovin'
And walkin' barefoot in the sand
Though there's no island at all
Just a picture on my wall
My darlin', how I wish we could be
(I wish that we could be)
In the middle of an island
In the middle of the ocean
You and I forever, darlin'
In a paradise for two (in a paradise for two)
Though there's no island at all
Just a picture on my wall
My darlin', how I wish we could be
(I wish that we could be)
In the middle of an island
In the middle of the ocean
You and I forever, darlin'
In a paradise for two
(In the middle of the ocean on an island kissin' you)

Nature Of The Game
Nature Of The Game
Composer(s): Christopher Cross
Performer(s): Christopher Cross
Taking my time
Walking the line
For someone who doesn't care
Taking my time
Just walking the line
For someone who's never there
It's a fool's game -- that I know
Nothing but a broken heart to show
And I know I'll never change
It's the nature of the game
She loves me -- she loves me not
Remember how your heart used to stop
As the petals would hit the floor
How you wished there could be just one more

In The Merry Merry Month Of May
In The Merry Merry Month Of May (aka Barbara Allen)
(Traditional)
Was in the merry month of May
When flowers were a bloomin'
Sweet William on his death-bed lay
For the love of Barbara Allen
Slowly, slowly she got up
And slowly she went nigh him
And all she said when she got there
"Young man, I think you're dying"
"O yes, I'm sick and very low
And death is on me dwellin'
No better shall I ever be
If I don't get Barbara Allen"
"Don't you remember the other day
When you were in the tavern
I toasted all the ladies there
And slighted Barbara Allen?"
"O yes, I remember the other day
When we were in the Tavern
I toasted all the ladies there
Gave my love to Barbara Allen"
He turned his pale face to the wall
And death was on him dwellin'
"Adieu, Adieu, my kind friends all
Be kind to Barbara Allen"
As she was walkin' through the fields
She heard the death bells knelling
And every toll they seemed to say
"Hard-hearted Barbara Allen"
She looked east, she looked west
She saw his corpse a-comin'
"Lay down, lay down the corpse" she said
"And let me gaze upon him"
"O mother, mother make my bed
O make it long and narrow
Sweet William died for me today
I'll die for him tomorrow"
Sweet William died on a Saturday night
And Barbara died on Sunday
Her mother died for the love of both
And was buried Easter Monday
They buried Willie in the old church yard
And Barbara there anigh him
And out of his grave grew a red, red rose
And out of hers, a briar
They grew and grew in the old churchyard
Till they couldn't grow no higher
They lapped and tied in a true love's knot
The rose ran around the briar

Nature Boy
Nature Boy
Composer(s): Eden Ahbez
Performer(s): Nat King Cole;
and various other artists
There was a boy
A very strange enchanted boy
They say he wandered very far, very far
Over land and sea
A little shy and sad of eye
But very wise was he
And then one day
A magic day he passed my way
And while we spoke of many things
Fools and kings
This he said to me
"The greatest thing you'll ever learn
Is just to love and be loved in return"
(instrumental break)
"The greatest thing you'll ever learn
Is just to love and be loved in return"

Some day baby, gonna hit on you
And together we will live life through

Oh pretty baby, I've always been like this hell

You have a hard time

Naturally Stoned
Naturally Stoned
Composer(s): Chuck Woolery
Performer(s): Avante Garde; Helmut Zacharias
It seems the days we spent together
All too quickly faded away
And even now my lonely mind
Is full of thoughts of yesterday
The say grow up
Put your mind on what you have to do
But I know I can never
Make it baby, without you
I can feel a good vibration
When I put my mind on you alone
I can get a good sensation
Feel like I'm naturally stoned
Naturally stoned
And now they say it's time for me
To face the troubled world alone
There's just one thing
They do not seem to understand
Why can't they get it through their heads
I need a helping hand
I can feel a good vibration
When I put my mind on you alone
I can get a good sensation
Feel like I'm naturally stoned
Naturally stoned

First release by: Led Zeppelin - 1975
And if you feel that you can't go on, and your will's sinkin' low
Just believe and you can't go wrong
In the light you will find the road, you will find the road
Oh, did you ever believe that I could leave you, standing out in the cold
I know how it feels 'cause I have slipped through to the very depths of my soul
I just wanna show what I'd give you it is from every bend in the road
Now listen to me
Oh, whoa-whoa, as I was and really would be for you, too, honey
As you would for me, oh, I would share your load
Let me share your load, ooh, let me share, share your load
And if you feel that you can't go on
In the light you will find the road
Though the winds of change may blow around you, but that will always be so
When love is pain it can devour you, if you are never alone
I would share your load. I would share your load
Baby, let me, oh, let me
In the light
Everybody needs the light
In the light, in the light, in the light

Said she came from Memphis
You can look but please don't touch
Didn't like rock and rollers
Seemed a bit much too much
Cause it's the natural thing, feelin' the star
The Natural blood starts to flow
Yeah, the natural thing, got up a star
Then she'll never let you go
Hey girl, now does it feel allright
Think I'm gettin' through
Don't you think the band's real tight
Wait till we start to move
May sound funny but you gave it to me
I didn't even like it
May sound funny but you gave it to me
And now I got to live without it
I been down to Atlanta
Got to move my feet
Gettin' down before the last call
With every star she meets

In The Land Of Beginning Again (Where Broken Dreams Come True)
Composer(s): Grant Clarke; George W. Meyer
Performer(s): Charles Harrison
and multiple other artists
There's a land of beginning again
Where skies are always blue
Though we've made mistakes, that's true
Let's forget the past and start life anew
Though we wandered by a river of tears
Where sunshine won't come through
Let's find that paradise where sorrow can't live
And learn the teachings of forget and forgive
In the land of beginning again
Where broken dreams come true
There's a land of beginning again
Where skies are always blue
Though we've made mistakes, that's true
Let's forget the past and start life anew
Though we wander by a river of tears
Where sunshine won't come through
Let's find that paradise where sorrow can't live
And learn the teachings of forget and forgive
In the land of beginning again
Where broken dreams come true
There's a land of beginning again
Sometimes there're tears behind a sunny smile
Some hearts hold sorrow for a long, long while
If we could only forget
Think how much further we'd get
And though our hearts are filled with sadness
We'll see the sunshine yet
Don't ever feel that ev'ry hope is gone
It's always darkest just before the dawn
Just try a smile through the tears
Some day you'll laugh at your fears
And though your life is filled with shadows
They'll fade through future years
There's a land of beginning again

Amen Corner; Andy Fairweather-Low
Na na na na ...
Sometimes I feel too old to work, too young to die
but I'll drink wine and whisky, I'll keep smoking 'till I die
I wear a suit of sadness made by experience
for I believe that in the end time will heal what men can’t mend
Chorus
I'm a natural sinner, born a sinner's son
Evil's been my motto, distrust everyone
I'm a natural sinner, born a sinner's son
Evil's been my motto, distrust everyone
Big men with small mind now, they're not hard to find
Now they ain’t got no good side, it plain greed that covers up what’s inside
Now ride the confusion, withhold your trust
Struck with your own hand when you think the cause is just
Chorus
Na na na na ...
