Well, the midnight headlight
Find you on a rainy night
Steep grade up ahead
Slow me down makin' no time
I gotta keep rollin'
Those windshield wipers
Slappin' out a tempo
Keepin' perfect rhythm
With the song on the radio
Gotta keep rollin'
Oooooooh, I'm driving my life away
Lookin' for a better way, for me
Oooooooh, I'm driving my life away
Lookin' for a sunny day
Well the truck stop cutie
Comin' on to me
Tried to talk me into a ride
Said I wouldnt be sorry
But she was just a baby
Ah, waitress pour me another cup of coffee
Pop me down jack me up
Shoot me out flyin' down the highway
Lookin' for the morning
Oooooooh, I'm driving my life away
Lookin' for a better way, for me
Oooooooh, I'm driving my life away
Lookin' for a sunny day
Well, the midnight headlight
Find you on a rainy night
Steep grade up ahead
Slow me down makin' no time
I gotta keep rollin'
Those windshield wipers
Slappin' out a tempo
Keepin' perfect rhythm
With the song on the radio
Gotta keep rollin'
Oooooooh, I'm driving my life away
Lookin' for a better way, for me
Oooooooh, I'm driving my life away
Lookin' for a sunny day
Oooooooh, I'm driving my life away
Lookin' for a better way, for me
Oooooooh, I'm driving my life away
Lookin' for a sunny day, yeah
Oooooooh, I'm driving my life away
Lookin' for a better way, for me

La Gota De Rocio
La Gota De Rocio
Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez
and multiple other artists
La gota de rocio
del cielo se cayo
y en ella el amor mio
la carita se lavo
pero era tan temprano
que n salia el sol
y se helaron las manos
y mejillas de mi amor
crei que las estrellas
la iban a buscar
y que en su cara bella
se ponian a jugar
me dijo: tengo frio
acercame calor
y fui con tanto brio
que encendi su corazon
y mientras la besaba
me dijo en un temblor
esto es lo que faltaba
para que saliera el sol
!oh! gota de rocio
no dejes de caer
para que el amor mio
siempre me quiera tener

Driving Me Mad
Driving Me Mad
Composer(s): Neil Finn
Performer(s): Neil Finn
Deadlines again
Feel like hiding out
No sign of comfort yet
Have a nap while no one's looking
Bring some inspiration to the man
In my head
A namesake out of reach
Strange days upon us now
We leave the dust of conversation
Hanging in the light above the bed
Leave me now
Cos tonight it's driving me mad
I guess I'll be all right
But tonight it's driving me mad
Year after year
Demons always come
Fail to materialise
Way beyond my understanding
Find my only comfort in your hands
Hold me now
Cos tonight it's driving me mad
This dream can fill you up
But tonight it's driving me mad
Hey diamond girl
Restless in my head
Say what lies between us
A host of everyday distractions
But most of all it's music taking me
It's driving me mad
Still I can't refuse
Even when it's driving me mad
I guess I'll be all right
When tomorrow brings some relief
This dream can fill you up
So put it out and find what's underneath

La Golondrina
La Golondrina
(English Version: The Swallow)
Composer(s): Narciso Serradel Sevilla - 1862
Aben Hamed al partir de Granada
Su corazón destrozado sintió
Y alla en la Vega al perderia de vista
Con débil voz so lamento expresó
Ay! cual te envidio al mirar
Que te alejas
Ave feliz de dicha y de placer
Mis ecos lleva a la pátria
A donde nunca jamás yo volvaré
A donde irá veloz y fatigada
La golondrina que de aquí se va
O si en el viento se hallará extraviada
Buscando abrigo y no lo encontrará
Junto a mi lecho le formaré su nido
En donde pueda la estación pasar
Tambien yo estoy en la región perdido
OH cielo santo y sin poder volar
Dejétambien mi patria idolatrada
Esa mansión que me miró nacer
Mi vida es hoy amante y angustiada
Y ya no puedo a mi mansión volver
Ave querida, amada peregrina
Mi corazón al tuyo estrecharé
Oiré tu canto tierna golondrina
Recordaré mi patria y lloraré

Driving Me Crazy
Driving Me Crazy
Composer(s): Phil Collins
Performer(s): Phil Collins
No matter where you go I’ll be there
No matter where you hide I’ll find you
I’ll be there looking through the window watching everything you do
There’s no escaping me
I’ll be like your worst enemy
I’m right behind you every place you run to I’ll be there with you
Cos being without you is driving me crazy
Oh I just don’t know what to do
Yes being without you is driving me crazy
Cos all I want is you ….
And I like it
If all the world’s a stage and we are,
We’re only just two crazy players
Please understand why I just can’t go on without you anymore
There’s no escaping me
I want you back, can’t you see
I’m losing all control and cannot guarantee my sanity
Cos being without you is driving me crazy
And I don’t know what to do
Yes being without you is driving me crazy
Cos all I want is you
Being without you is driving me crazy
I don’t know how long I’ll last
Being without you is driving me crazy
Feel my pulse it’s going so fast
You, you’re driving me crazy
Me, I’m out of my mind
You, you’re making me crazy
Me, I’m running out of time
I am your conscience, I’m your guide
I know just what you feel inside
I share your darkest thoughts with you but share no consequences for them
There’s no escaping me
I’m with you while you sleep
I hear your lies, I hear your truth
I hear you speak before you do
But being without you is driving me crazy
And I don’t know what to do
Yes being without you is driving me crazy
Cos all I want is you
Being without you is driving me crazy
I don’t know how long I’ll last
Being without you is driving me crazy
Feel my pulse it’s going so fast

The Swallow
The Swallow
(Spanish Version: La Golondrina)
Composer(s): Thos. M. Westrup - Narciso Serradel Sevilla
Whither so swiftly the timid swallow?
What distant bourne seeks her untiring wing?
To reach it safe, what needle does she follow
When darkness wraps the poor wee storm tossed thing?
To build her nest near to my couch
I'll call her
Why go so far skies bright and warm to keep
Safe would she be
No evil should befall her
For I'm an exile sad, too sad to weep
My fatherland is dear but I too have left it
Far am I from the spot where I was born
Cheerless in life, fierce storms joy bereft it
Made me an exile life-long and forlorn
Come then to me, sweet feathered pilgrim stranger
Oh! let me clasp you to my loving breast
And lest your warbling safe from danger
Unwanted tears bring relief and rest

Driving Me Backwards
Driving Me Backwards
Composer(s): Brian Eno
Performer(s): Brian Eno
and multiple other artists
Ohohohohohohoh oh
Doo doo doo doo doo doo dah
I'll be there
Oh driving me backwards
Kids like me gotta be crazy
Moving me forwards
Perhaps you think that I'm lazy
Meet my relations
All of them grinning like facepacks
Such sweet inspiration
Curl me up, a flag in an icecap
Now I've found a sweetheart
Treats me good, just like an armchair
I try to think about nothing
Difficult, I'm most temperamental
I gave up my good living
Typical I'm most sentimental
Ah Luana's black reptiles
Sliding round make chemical choices
And she responds as expected
To the only sound, hysterical voices
And you are driving me backwards
Kids like me gotta be crazzzzzy i-i-i-i-i-i-i
doo doo doo dodoo dodah I'll be there

Composer(s): Ellstein - Manning
Performer(s): Dean Martin
(La giostra d'amore
La giostra d'amore
La giostra (?)
So, merry-go-round of love)
When I want your carress
And your eyes tell me yes
But your lips tell me no
Round in circles I go, on love's la giostra
(The merry-go-round)
With my feet off the ground
On that merry-go-round
I go nowhere, but fast
Oh, how long will I last, on love's la giostra ?
When my head's in a spin
You give out, you give in
And your kisses are sweet
Then my heart's at your feet, just as before
Being in love is like taking a ride on a giostra
La giostra (?)
So, merry-go-round of love
(La giostra d'amore
La giostra d'amore
La giostra (?)
So, merry-go-round of love)
When my head's in a spin
You give out, you give in
And your kisses are sweet
When my heart's at your feet, just as before
Being in love is like taking a ride on la giostra
La giostra (?)
So, merry-go-round of love
(La giostra d'amore

Driving In My Car
Driving In My Car
Composer(s): Mike Barson
Performer(s): Madness
I’ve been driving in my car, it’s not quite a Jaguar
I bought it in Primrose Hill from a bloke from Brazil
It was made in Fifty-Nine in a factory by the Tyne
It says Morris on the door, the G.P.O. owned it before
I drive in it for my job, the Governor calls me a slob
But I don’t really care, give me some gas and the open air
It’s a bit old but it’s mine, I mend it in my spare time
Just last week I changed the oil, the rocker valves and the coil
Just last week I changed the oil
Last week it went round the clock, I also had a little knock
I dented somebody’s fender, he learnt not to park on a bender, ha ha ha
I’ve been driving in my car, it don’t look much but I’ve been far
I drive up to Muswell Hill, I’ve even been to Selsey Bill
I drove along the A45, I had her up to 58
This copper stopped me the other day, you’re mistaken what could I say
The tyres were a little worn, they were o.k., I could have sworn
I like driving in my car, I’m satisfied I’ve got this far
I like driving in my car, it don’t look much but I’ve been far
I like driving in my car, even with a flat tyre
I like driving in my car, it’s not quite a Jaguar
I like driving in my car, I’m satisfied I’ve got this far

La Gente
La Gente
Composer(s): Lucio Milena
Performer(s): Javier Solís
La gente, te encuentro solitaria entre la gente
perdida entre la burla que es hiriente
la gente, la gente que murmura y que no siente
lo intenso de mi amor apasionado
que es llama de dolor y no pecado
pues nace desde el propio corazón
La gente, y tú estás junto a mí frente a la gente
luchando ante la ley ardientemente
la gente, la gente que te arrastra nuevamente
tratando de arrancarte de mi lado
no entiende que yo estoy desesperado
no quiero perderte otra vez entre la gente
La gente, y tú estás junto a mí frente a la gente
luchando ante la ley ardientemente
la gente, la gente que te arrastra nuevamente
tratando de arrancarte de mi lado
no entiende que yo estoy desesperado
no quiero perderte otra vez entre la gente

First release by: T-Bone Burnett - 1980
Covered by multiple other artists
All I want is a love that's hot
Can't be sold and it can't be bought

Love that moves like a drivin' wheel
Well, all I want is a drivin' wheel
Well, all I want is a drivin' wheel
All round up, is my ideal
Jump!
All I want is a love that's right
To hold on to with all my might
Early in the morning and late at night
All I need is a love that's real
Love won't rob and love won't steal
Love that moves like a drivin' wheel
Well, all I want is a drivin' wheel
All I want is a drivin' wheel
All round up, is my ideal

La Génération Perdue
La Génération Perdue
Composer(s): Johnny Hallyday
Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday
Les mains tendues, tu réclames ta liberté
À ton père qui ne peut pas et ne veux pas comprendre
Il voudrait te voir derrière son établi
Un marteau en main toute ta vie
Samedi soir la sortie est obligatoire
Et s'arrête au cinéma
Et dans les froids moments de l'incertitude
Il y a au plus profond de ta solitude
Derrière les murs de l'incompréhension
Un espoir rempli de passion
Tu prendras l'avenir comme il te viendra
Si tu veux il sera pour toi
Et dans les rues mouillées aux couleurs de l'ennui
Et ce chien qui hurle au silence de la nuit
Ton cœur trop serré à envie d'exploser
À la face d'un monde résigné
Tes yeux aveuglés par l'enfance trompée
S'ouvriront sur la vérité
Ta génération en veux à la terre entière
Le long des routes il ne trouve que la misère
Mais tes doigts sont en or et sur ta guitare
Tu joueras pour sortir du noir
Devant les lumières de la célébrité
Tu pourras faire briller le nom
Que ton père t'as donné
Que ton père t'as donné
Ouais, que ton père t'as donné

Drivin' Nails In My Coffin
Composer(s): Jerry Irby
Performer(s): Ernest Tubb
and multiple other artists
My sweetheart has gone and I am so lonely
She said that she and I are through
So I started out drinking for past time
Driving nails in my coffin over you
I’m just driving nails in my coffin
Every time I drink a bottle of booze
I’m just driving nails in my coffin
Lord, drivin’ those nails over you
Now ever since the day that we parted
Well I’ve been so lonely and so blue
And I’m always thinking of you only
And I just can’t quit drinking that old booze
I’m just driving nails in my coffin
Every time I drink a bottle of booze
I’m just driving nails in my coffin
Lord, drivin’ those nails over you
Now you turned me down’ you don’t want me
There’s nothing now I can loose
I’m just driving those nails in my coffin
And worrying my darling over you
I’m just driving nails in my coffin
Every time I drink a bottle of booze
I’m just driving nails in my coffin
Lord, drivin’ those nails over you

La Gelosia
La Gelosia
Composer(s): Gianni Bella - Mogol Audio 2
Performer(s): Adriano Celentano
Non ho nessuno a parte te
che mi ha tradito come sai
io mi sento un'auto che non ha
non ha più il motore
e mi sento un uomo che vivrà
nel suo dolore
nel dolore
solo nel suo dolore ormai
Eppur mi sento forte, sai
sarà perché non odio mai
di certo non dovrei soffrir così
così inutilmente
solamente perché hai detto un si
stupidamente
stupidamente
con il cervello assente
Amica mia
quanto costa una bugia
un dolore che dividiamo in due
tra noi la gelosia
quando arriva non va più via
col silenzio tu mi rispondi che
col tuo pianto tu mi rispondi che
coi tuoi occhi tu mi rispondi che lo sai
La gelosia più la scacci
e più l'avrai
tu eri mia
di chi sei più no lo sai
complicità
ma che gran valore ha
sincerità
che fortuna chi ce l'ha
E' qui il serpente
è arrivato
è qui seduto in mezzo a noi
lui ti mangia il cuore come fosse
un pomodoro
così diventi pazzo tu
o come un toro
come un toro
purtroppo non ragioni più
Amica mia
quanto costa una bugia
un dolore che dividiamo In due
tra noi la gelosia
quando arriva non va più via
col silenzio tu mi rispondi che
col tuo pianto tu mi rispondi che
coi tuoi occhi tu mi rispondi che lo sai
La gelosia più la scacci e più l'avrai
tu eri mia
di chi sei più non lo sai
complicità
ma che gran valore ha
sincerità
che fortuna chi ce l'ha

Drivin'
Drivin'
Composer(s): Ray Davies
Performer(s): The Kinks
It seems like all the world is fighting
They're even talking of a war
Let all the Russians and the Chinese
And the Spanish do their fighting
The sun is shining
We're going drivin', drivin'
Drop all your work
Leave it behind
Forget all your problems
And get in my car
And take a drive with me
The sandwiches are packed
The tea is in the flask
We've plenty of beer
And gooseberry tarts
So take a drive with me
We'll take your mother if you want to
We'll have a picnic on the grass
Forget your nephews
And your cousins and your brothers and your sisters
They'll never miss us
'Cos we'll be drivin', drivin', drivin', drivin'
Thousands of trees
Hundreds of fields
Millions of birds
So why don't you come
And take a drive with me
We'll talk to the cows
And laugh at the sheep
We'll lie in a field
And we'll have a sleep
So take a drive with me
And all the troubled world around us
Seems an eternity away
And all the debt collectors
Rent collectors
All will be behind us
But they'll never find us
'Cos we'll be drivin', drivin', drivin', drivin'
Passed Barnet Church
Up to Potters Bar
We won't be home late
It's not very far
So take a drive with me, take a drive with me
Drivin', drivin', drivin', drivin'

La Gaviota (Silvio Rodíguez)
La Gaviota
Composer(s): Silvio Rodríguez
Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez
Corrían los días de fines de guerra
y había un soldado regresando intacto
intacto del frío mortal de la tierra
intacto de flores de horror en su cuarto
Elevó los ojos, respiró profundo
la palabra cielo se hizo en su boca
y como si no hubiera más en el mundo
por el firmamento pasó una gaviota
Gaviota, gaviota, vals del equilibrio
cadencia increíble, llamada en el hombro
Gaviota, gaviota, blancura del lirio
aire y bailarina, gaviota de asombro
¿A dónde te marchas, canción de la brisa
tan rápida, tan detenida
disparo en la sien y metralla en la risa
gaviota que pasa y se lleva la vida?
Corrían los días de fines de guerra
pasó una gaviota volando, volando
lento, como un tiempo de amor que se cierra
imperio de ala, de cielo y de cuándo
Gaviota, gaviota, vals del equilibrio
cadencia increíble, llamada en el hombro
Gaviota, gaviota, blancura del lirio
aire y bailarina, gaviota de asombro
Corrían los días de fines de guerra
pasó una gaviota volando
y el que anduvo intacto rodó por la tierra
huérfano, desnudo, herido, sangrando

Que Vientos Desmemoriados
Vuelas Cruzando
Que Cielo Vas Persiguiendo
Gaviota Que Vas Llevando
Gaviota Sigue Volando

Y Mis Arenas Perdidas
Gaviota De Mis Mareas
Como Mi Sueño Dormida
Cuando Volaba A Tu Lado
Cuando Era Niño Y Soñaba
