Body And Soul (Pedro Aznar)
Body And Soul
Spanish Title: Cuerpo y Alma
Performer(s): Pedro Aznar
Soul in low flight wings that pass
Of the bird that soars in middair
Loves the soul in mantra
Soul of the place night and bonfire
Make yourself light and the fire flame
Call the soul and sing
Sing - sing and love live in body and soul
Sing - sun of nature calls
Soul that in weaving weaves in mantras
Make the light, birds, wings, ace
Save the body and soul
Soul name God or he who is a friend
Faithful in itself and to oneself
Voice of the body and soul
Sing - thought and love the soul in mantra
Sing - that in the body a temple keeps the soul

Along the coast you'll hear them boast
About a light they say that shines so clear
So raise your glass, we'll drink a toast
To the little man who sells you thrills along the pier
He'll take you up, he'll bring you down
He'll plant your feet back firmly on the ground
He flies so high, he swoops so low
He knows exactly which way he's gonna go

Body And Soul (Jack Hylton)
Body And Soul
Composer(s): Frank Eyton; Johnny Green;
Edward Heyman; Robert Sour
Originally performed by: Jack Hylton
Covered by various other artists
You're making me blue
All that you do
Seems unfair
You try not to hear
Turn a deaf ear
To my prayer
It seems you don't want to see
What you are doing to me
My arms are waiting to caress you
And to my heart they long to press you, sweet heart
My heart is sad and lonely
For you I cry
For you, dear, only
I tell you I mean it
I'm all for you
Body and soul
I spend my days in longing
And wondering it's me your'e wronging
Why haven't you seen it
I'm all for you
Body and soul
I can't believe it
It's hard to conceive it
That you'd turn away romance
Are you pretending
Don't say it's the ending
I wish I could have one more change to prove, dear
My life a hell you're making
You know I'm yours for just the taking
I'd gladly surrender
Myself to you
Body and soul
Life's dreary for me
Days seem to be long as years
I've looked for the sun
But can see none
Through my tears
Your heart must be like a stone
To leave me like this alone
When you could make my life worth living
By taking what I'm set on giving, sweetheart
My heart is sad and lonely
For you I cry
For you, dear, only
I tell you I mean it
I'm all for you
Body and soul

Body And Soul (Bill Monroe)
Body And Soul
Composer(s): Virginia Stauffer
Performer(s): Bill Monroe
See that train coming round the bend
Carrying the one that I love
Her beautiful body is still here on earth
But her soul has been called up above
Body and soul, body and soul
That's how she loved me, with body and soul
Her beautiful hair was the purest of gold
Her eyes were as blue as the sea
Her lips were the color of summer's red rose
And she promised she would always love me
Tomorrow as the sun sinks low
The shadows will cover her face
As her last sun goes down, she's laid beneath the ground
And my teardrops are falling like rain

Legacy
Legacy
Composer(s): Dennis Larden
First release by: Rick Nelson & The Stone Canyon Band - 1974
Go down to the sea
put your ears to the ground
and open your heart to the waves
and the sounds that they make
as they break along the shore
never more to pass this way again
open your eyes to the cries of the crane
and look to the skies
for a life that you won't see again
as the silence cuts the glen
never more to pass this way again
never coming through here, oh no
my time is through here - that, I know
and all that I leave I bequeth to my son
and beg his forgiveness, for all that I've done in his name
as the cycle comes to end
never more to pass this way again
never coming through here my friend
I know my road has reached the end
never more to pass this way again

Girl, I want your body
You know I love your body
Girl, I need your body
Why don't you come home with me now
Girl, I want your body
You know I love your body
Girl, I need your body
Why don't you come home
Never thought that I would hurt so bad
And ever since the day that I met you, all alone I sit 'cause I'm so sad
Don't you know this heart, it grieves for you?
There you were, holdin' back your love, tryin' to make me feel real bad
'cause your love I never had
I pray to her (He loves you)
I needed her (He needs you)
I told her that (He wants you)
I want her back (He loves you)
Girl, I want your body
you know I love your body
Girl, I need your body
Why don't you come home with me now
Girl, I want your body
You know I love your body

Darlin', don't you want to have some fun?
Don't you know, baby, I'm the one?
Just come with me and I'll make you feel
Don't you know, babe, this love is real?
There you were, holdin' back your love
All alone, you lookin' sad, but I know you want it bad
Deceivin' me (He loves you)
What is the key? (He needs you)
Do you believe in me? (He wants you)
It's a disgrace, you see (He loves you)
Girl, I want your body
You know I love your body
Girl, I need your body
Why don't you come home with me now
Girl, I want your body
You know I love your body
Girl, I need your body
Why don't you come home with me now

Leftover Wine
Leftover Wine
Composer(s): Melanie Safka
Performer(s): Melanie
What do you do when the people go home
and what do you do when the show is all done
I know what I'll do in the alone of my time
but what will I do with the leftover wine
A line from a poem of my childhood has said
that visions of sugarplums were gonna dance in my head
I'll spend my whole life making the time rhyme
but I'll still have a bowl of leftover wine
I'll spend my whole life making the time rhyme
and then I'll sing them a song of mine
you know Ii'm gonna do anything - just to take up time
'cause I can't find a taker for the leftover wine
(and) what do you do when the people go home
and what do you do when the show is all done
I know what I'll do in the alone of my time
but what will I do with the leftover wine
I'm gonna spend my whole life making the time rhyme
and then i'm gonna run to the people
and I'll sing them a song of mine
you know I'm gonna do anything - just to take up time
'cause I can't find a taker for the leftover wine
I'll drink some of yours
If you'll drink all of mine
because I can't stand the taste of that leftover wine
and I'm gonna drink some of yours
If you'll drink all of mine
because I can't stand the taste of leftover wine
and I'll drink some of yours
If you'll drink all of mine
I can't stand the taste of leftover wine

Oh, I was left (Left)

Out of your charms
My heart said eyes right (Right)
Right from the start
Now I am left, right (Right, left)
Out of your heart
You said I was a cute Marine
And I was so impressed
You said of all the guys you knew
That you loved me the best
I gave you all my kisses
Surrendered my two arms
But time revealed you played the field
And darling I was left (Left)

Out of your arms
Oh, I was left (Left)

My heart said eyes right (Right)

Now I am left, right (Right, left)
Out of your heart
You said to look you up, up, up
When I got back to town
But when I hit the city
All you did was let me down
I caught you with a sailor
And, baby, though you said
I'm merely warmin' up for you
I figured I was left (Left)
Right (Right)
Out of your arms
Oh, I was left (Left)
Right (Right)
Out of your charms
My heart said eyes right (Right)
Right from the start
Now I am left, right (Right, left)
Out of your heart
I called you on the telephone
And you said, Billy dear
You're being' mighty silly
in believing all you hear
You know I love you only
So Billy save your breath
But, since my name is Jimmy
I knew that I was left (Left)
Right (Right)
Out of your arms
Oh, I was left (Left)
Right (Right)
Out of your charms
My heart said eyes right (Right)
Right from the start
Now I am left, right (Right, left)

Bocca Di Rosa
Bocca Di Rosa
French Title: Gueule De Rose
Composer(s): Fabrizio de André
Originally performed by: Fabrizio de André
Covered by various other artists
La chiamavano bocca di rosa
metteva l'amore metteva l'amore
la chiamavano bocca di rosa
metteva l'amore sopra ogni cosa
Appena scese alla stazione
del paesino di Sant'Ilario
tutti si accorsero con uno sguardo
che non si trattava di un missionario
C'e' chi l'amore lo fa per noia
chi se lo sceglie per professione
bocca di rosa ne' l'uno ne' l'altro
lei lo faceva per passione
Ma la passione spesso conduce
a soddisfare le proprie voglie
senza indagare se il concupito
ha il cuore libero oppure ha moglie
E fu così che da un giorno all'altro
bocca di rosa si tirò addosso
l'ira funesta delle cagnette
a cui aveva sottratto l'osso
Ma le comari di un paesino
non brillano certo d'iniziativa
le contromisure fino al quel punto
si limitavano all'invettiva
Si sa che la gente da' buoni consigli
sentendosi come Gesù nel tempio
si sa che la gente da' buoni consigli
se non può dare cattivo esempio
Così una vecchia mai stata moglie
senza mai figli, senza più voglie
si prese la briga e di certo il gusto
di dare a tutte il consiglio giusto
E rivolgendosi alle cornute
le apostrofò con parole acute:
"Il furto d'amore sarà punito -disse-
dall'ordine costituito"
E quelle andarono dal commissario
e dissero senza parafrasare
"Quella schifosa ha già troppi clienti
più di un consorzio alimentare"
E arrivarono quattro gendarmi
con i pennacchi con i pennacchi
e arrivarono quattro gendarmi
con i pennacchi e con le armi
Il cuore tenero non e' una dote
di cui sian colmi i carabinieri
ma quella volta a prendere il treno
l'accompagnarono malvolentieri
Alla stazione c'erano tutti dal
commissario al sagrestano
alla stazione c'erano tutti
con gli occhi rossi e il cappello in mano
A salutare chi per un poco
senza pretese, senza pretese
a salutare chi per un poco
portò l'amore nel paese
C'era un cartello giallo
con una scritta nera, diceva
"Addio bocca di rosa
con te se ne parte la primavera"
Ma una notizia un po' originale
non ha bisogno di alcun giornale
come una freccia dall'arco scocca
vola veloce di bocca in bocca
E alla stazione successiva
molta più gente di quando partiva
chi manda un bacio, chi getta un fiore
chi si prenota per due ore
Persino il parroco che non disprezza
fra un miserere e un'estrema unzione
il bene effimero della bellezza
la vuole accanto in processione
E con la Vergine in prima fila
e bocca di rosa poco lontano
si porta a spasso per il paese
l'amore sacro e l'amor profano

Left Over Biscuits
Left Over Biscuits
Performer(s): The Lost & Found
Left over biscuits, left over ham
Left over gravy in an old fryin' pan
Left over coffee, left over tea
Now I'm all alone 'cause she done left over me
Well I asked my wife if I could go out with the boys
Just a little party over at Jimmy Roy's
She said "yes honey, you know that I don't care"
But what I didn't tell her it was a three day afair
Left over biscuits, left over ham
Left over gravy in an old fryin' pan
Left over coffee, left over tea
Now I'm all alone 'cause she done left over me
Then we went to a party over at my neighbors' home
Me and my neighbor's wife in the kitchen all alone
She was makin' biscuits while I was makin' time
Caught in the act by that little old wife of mine
Left over biscuits, left over ham
Left over gravy in an old fryin' pan
Left over coffee, left over tea
Now I'm all alone 'cause she done left over me
Now I'm all alone, 'cause she done left over me

(You're not a kid anymore)
(You're not a kid anymore)
When people ask of me
What would you like to be
Now that you're not a kid anymore
(You're not a kid anymore)
I know just what to say
I answer right away
There's just one thing I've been wishing for...
I want to be Bobby's girl
I want to be Bobby's girl
That's the most important thing to me...
And if I was Bobby's girl
If I was Bobby's girl
What a faithful thankful girl I'd be
Each night I sit at home
Hoping that he will phone
But I know Bobby has someone else
Still in my heart I pray
There soon will come the day
That I will have him all to myself...
I want to be Bobby's girl
I want to be Bobby's girl
That's the most important thing to me...
And if I was Bobby's girl
If I was Bobby's girl
What a faithful thankful girl I'd be
What a faithful thankful girl I'd be

Read about your band in some local page
Didn't mention your name, didn't mention your name
Sweet Georgia breezes, safe, cool and warm
I headed up north, you headed north
On and on and on and on
What side are you on?
On and on and on and on
What side are you on?
Weary voice that's laughin', on the radio once
We sounded drunk, never made it on
Passin' through and it's late, the station started to fade
Picked another one up in the very next state
On and on and on and on
What side are you on?
On and on and on and on and...
Pretty girl keep growin' up, playin' make-up, wearin' guitar
Growin' old in a bar, ya grow old in a bar
Headed out to San Francisco, definitely not L.A.
Didn't mention your name, didn't mention your name
And if I don't see ya, in a long, long while
I'll try to find you

Bobby Sox To Stockings
Composer(s): Dennis Di Cicco; Russ Faith; Clarence Kehner
Performer(s): Frankie Avalon; Boris Gardiner
When a girl changes from bobby sox to stockings
And she starts trading her baby toys for boys
When that once-shy little sleepyhead
Learns about love and its lilt
You can bet that the change
Is more than from cotton to silk
If a miss wants to be kissed instead of cuddled
And to this you are in doubt as what to say
When a girl changes from bobby sox to stockings
Then she's old enough to give her heart away
When a girl changes from bobby sox to stockings
And she starts trading her baby toys for boys
When that once-shy little sleepyhead
Learns about love and its lilt
You can bet that the change
Is more than from cotton to silk
If a miss wants to be kissed instead of cuddled
And to this you are in doubt as what to say
When a girl changes from bobby sox to stockings
Then she's old enough to give her heart away
Yes, she's old enough to give her heart away

L'effet Que Tu Me Fais
L'effet Que Tu Me Fais
Composer(s): Edith Piaf - Marc Heyral
Performer(s): Edith Piaf
Y a des gens qui savent exprimer
La grandeur de leurs sentiments
Moi je n'ai aucune facilité
C'est une question d' tempérament
Je n' peux pas dire l'effet qu' tu m' fais
Mais vrai: tu m' fais un drôle d'effet
Ça commence là, ça passe par là
Ça continue, et ça s'en va...
Je m'demande où, ça je n' sais pas
Mais ça revient, et ça remet ça
Il n'y a qu'un remède pour calmer ça
C'est quand tu me prends dans tes bras
T'as dans ta main ma ligne de chance
Et dans tes yeux, mes jours heureux
On peut bien dire que l'existence
A des moments si merveilleux
Que je m' demande si l' paradis
Quoi qu'on en dise, est mieux qu'ici
Si j' pouvais dire l'effet qu' tu m' fais
Mais vrai : tu m' fais un drôle d'effet
Si tu veux savoir mon impression
Notre amour c'est comme un peu d' blanc
C'est beau l' blanc, mais c'est salissant
Aussi j'y fais très attention
Je n' peux pas dire l'effet qu' tu m' fais
Mais vrai : tu m' fais un drôle d'effet
Ça commence là, ça passe par là
Ça continue, et ça s'en va...
Je m' demande où, ça je n' sais pas
Mais ça revient, et ça remet ça
Il n'y a qu'un remède pour calmer ça
C'est quand tu me prends dans tes bras
Crois-tu vraiment qu'on a d' la chance
De nous aimer et d'être heureux?
Y a tant de gens dans l'existence
Qui voudraient bien être amoureux
T'as des façons de m' regarder
Vraiment, t'as pas besoin d' parler
Et si j' te fais l'effet qu' tu m' fais
Ben vrai, on s' fait un drôle d'effet ...

En aquella esquina fina
orgullosamente stone
con el casco en una mano
y esa estúpida ambición
de ganar minas, con su motor
una mente congelada
todo es artificial
no le importa el folklore
ni la gente del metal
cuantos adornos por figurar
uh! uh!
Cuando llega a su casa
sin dinero, oliendo mal
una madre paranoica
lo quiere castigar
Donde estuviste nene?
Cuando estudias?
pero quedate tranquilo
no te van a condenar
mientras andes a 200
se que nunca pesarás
tu ideología es tan fugaz
