Camelot
Camelot
Composer(s): Silvio Rodríguez
Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez
Al borde de una laguna
tres brujas montan caldero
y baten un mundo espeso
Una le pone la luna
otra sangre de cordero
y otra los últimos besos
De Camelot vuelan señales
en los dragones y los cuernos
y hay un silencio de animales
mientras se anuncian los infiernos
El odio a otro es nuestra suerte
la sangre ajena es nuestra viña
Cuando profanen y den muerte
seremos aves de rapiña
Dos contrahechos del norte
y un enano de alcahuete
sádicos abominables
reclutan tribus y cortes
para gestión de grilletes
y corazones de sable
Y una vez más, como tragedia
ronda el olor a carne rota
de calabozo, de Edad Media
donde callaban al ilota
Y una vez más, contra el impulso
de besar y abrazar a gentes
ceder al último recurso
de ojo por ojo y diente a diente

Far Away In Honolulu (They've Got The Tango Craze)
Far Away In Honolulu (They've Got The Tango Craze)
Composer(s): Burt Leighton; Frank Leighton
Far away in Honolulu
Where the natives do the tango
Most every evening
You can see them dance
(See them dance, see them dance)
To the funny music playing
You can see them all a swaying
If you should go there
They would put you in a trance
Should you ever take a notion
That you want to cross the ocean
Just take a steamboat to Hawaii land
(To Hawaii, to Hawaii)
Travel into Honolulu
Where'll you see the Hula Hula
Just watch those maidens
And hear the Ukelele Band
In Honolulu where they used to dance the Hula
In native costumes and pretty lays
With the Ukeleles playing
They start a swinging and a swaying
Far away in Honolulu
They've got the tango craze

Ballad Of Dwight Fry
Ballad Of Dwight Fry
Composer(s): Alice Cooper - Michael Bruce
Performer(s): Alice Cooper; The Dream Syndicate; Loretta's Doll
I was gone for fourteen days
I could have been gone for more
Held up in the intensive care ward
Lying on the floor
I was gone for all those days, but
I was not all alone
I made friends with a lot of people
in the danger zone
See my lonely life unfold
I see it every day
See my lonely mind explode
Since I've gone away
I think I lost some weight there, and
I'm sure I need some rest
Sleeping don't come very easy
in a straight white vest
Sure like to see that little children
She's only four years old
I'd give her back all of her playthings
Even the ones I stole
See my lonley life unfold
I see it every day
See my lonely mind explode
When I've gone insane
I wanna get out of here
I wanna get out of here
I've gotta, I've gotta get out of here
You gotta let me outta here
You gotta let me outta here
You gotta let me outta here
You gotta let me outta here
I gotta get outta here
Let me outta here
See my lonely life unfold
I see it every day
See my lonely mind explode
Blow up in my face
I grabbed my hat and I got my coat, and I
I ran into the street
I saw a man who was choking there
I guess he couldn't breathe
Said to myself this is very strange
I'm glad it wasn't me
But now I hear those sirens calling
And so I am not free
See my lonely life unfold
I see it every day
See my lonely mind explode
When I've gone insane

Came To See Me Yesterday (In The Merry Month Of)
Came To See Me Yesterday (In The Merry Month Of)
Composer(s): Gilbert O'Sullivan
Performer(s): Gilbert O'Sullivan
If I ask you politely
What it is your going to be
When you grow up you tall me
A woman
Came to see me yesterday
In the merry month of September
I took a trip to see
All the things I was going to be
A famous movie star
With a two hundred foot car
That will only carry two people
Came to see me yesterday
In the merry month of July
I'll fly anywhere you want me to
Just tell me when and
You won't mind if I don't find
What I am looking for
What I am looking for
Is a bicycle made for one
Hundred people to sit on
Plus a carriage made for two people
Came to see me yesterday
In the merry month of July
I'll fly anywhere you want me to
Just tell me when and
You won't mind if I don't find
What I am looking for
What I am looking for
Is a bicycle made far one
Hundred people to sit on
Plus a carriage made for two people
Came to see me yesterday
In the merry month of marching
Side by side and back to back
I think it's fair to say that's that

There's a lucky man who'll take you far away
far away, so very very far away

to another land he'll take you far away

Nobody knows, who will share

To another land he'll take you far away

The Ballad Of Curtis Loew
The Ballad Of Curtis Loew
Composer(s): Allen Collins - Ronnie Van Zant
Performer(s): Lynyrd Skynyrd
and multiple other artists
Well I used to wake the morning before the rooster crowed
Searching for soda bottles to get myself some dough
Brought 'em down to the corner, down to the country store
Cash 'em in and give my money to a man named Curtis Loew
Old Curt was a black man with white curly hair
When he had a fifth of wine he did not have a care
He used to own an old dobro, used to play it across his knee
I'd give old Curt my money, he'd play all day for me
Play me a song Curtis Loew, Curtis Loew
I got your drinking money, tune up your dobro
People said he was useless, them people are the fools
'Cause Curtis Loew was the finest picker to ever play the blues
He looked to be sixty, and maybe I was ten
Mama used to whip me but I'd go see him again
I'd clap my hands, stomp my feets, try to stay in time
He'd play me a song or two
Then take another drink of wine
Play me a song Curtis Loew, Curtis Loew
I got your drinking money, tune up your dobro
People said he was useless, them people are the fools
'Cause Curtis Loew was the finest picker to ever play the blues
Yes sir
On the day old Curtis died, nobody came to pray
Ol' preacher said some words, and they chunked him in the clay
But he lived a lifetime playin' the black man's blues
And on the day he lost his life, that's all he had to lose
Play me a song Curtis Loew, Hey Curtis Loew
I wish that you was here so everyone would know
People said he was useless, them people all are fools
'Cause Curtis you're the finest picker to ever play the blues

Cambodia
Cambodia
Composer(s): Ricky Wilde - Marty Wilde
First release by: Kim Wilde - 1981
Covered by multiple other artists
Well he was Thailand based
She was an airforce wife
He used to fly weekends
It was the easy life
But then it turned around
And he began to change
She didn't wonder then
She didn't think it strange
But then he got a call
He had to leave that night
He couldn't say too much
But it would be alright
He didn't need to pack
They'd meet the next night
He had a job to do
Flying to Cambodia
And as the nights passed by
She tried to trace the past
The way he used to look
The way he used to laugh
I guess she'll never know
What got inside his soul
She couldn't make it out
Just couldn't take it all
He had the saddest eyes
The girl had ever seen
He used to cry some nights
As though he lived a dream
Ans as she held him close
He used to search her face
As though she knew the truth
Lost inside Cambodia
But then a call came through
They said he'd soon be home
She had to pack a case
And they would make a rendez-vous
But now a year has passed
And not a single word
And all the love she knew
Has disappeared out in the haze
Cambodia - Don't cry now - No tears now
And now the years have passed
With not a single word
But there is only one thing left
I know for sure
She won't see his face again

Far Away (Astrud Gilberto)
Far Away
Composer(s): Astrud Gilberto; Hal Shaper
Performer(s): Astrud Gilberto
Far away you seem so far away
When it was only yesterday
That you were oh so close to me
So close that every sigh
Was like the whisper of a lover's lullaby
The way the ocean loves the edges of the sky
As close as we could be
But now you're far away
So far away you're like a distant star away
And even though your hands could touch me if they tried
When love has died what more is there to say
I only know you're so far away
You're long ago, so far away
Far away, so far away
But now you're far away
So far away you're like a distant star away
And even though your hands could touch me if they tried
When love has died what more is there to say
I only know you're oh so far away
You're long ago and oh so far away
Oh so far away
Far away, so far away

Performer(s): Nat King Cole
and multiple other artists
Well now friends just lend an ear
For you're now about to hear
The ballad of Cat Ballou
It's a song that's newly made
And Professus and The Shade
And the Sunrise Kid are singin' it for you
Cat Ballou, Cat Ballou
It's a hangin' day in Wolf City, Wyomin'
Wolf City, Wyomin', eighteen ninety four
They're gonna drop Cat Ballou
Through the gallows floor
She killed a man in Wolf City, Wyomin'
Wolf City, Wyomin', killed a man it's true
And that is why they're a-hangin'
Hangin' Cat Ballou
She has the smile of an angel
(Fights like the Devil)
The eyes of an angel
(Bites like the Devil)
The face of an angel
(I say she's the Devil)
(She's mean and evil through and through)
Cat Ballou, Cat Ball-ou-ou-ou
She's mean and evil through and through
With her outlaw band they're now tellin' a story
Now tellin' a story how she rode the plain
The wildest gal in the We-est
Since Calamity Jane
And today's the day that she's goin' to glory
She's goin' to glory for the way she sinned
They'll be a-speedin' her soul
On a wayward wind
She has the smile of an angel
(Fights like the Devil)
The eyes of an angel
(Bites like the Devil)
The face of an angel
(I say she's the Devil)
(She's mean and evil through and through)
Cat Ballou (Cat Ballou)
Cat Ball-ou-ou-ou (Cat Ballou)
She's mean and evil through and through
Cat Ballou, Cat Ball-ou-ou-ou
She's mean and evil through and through

Cambios (Miguel Mateos)
Cambios
Composer(s): Miguel Mateos
Performer(s): Miguel Mateos
Ella hace mucho que
no duerme con él
y él le propone hacer las paces
le trajo un paquete
con comida y no sé qué
y un aire de perro apaleado
contó que lo hirieron
en el concierto de ayer
y que volvió decepcionado
Y no por la bala
sino por la ingenuidad
de 30.000 desocupados
aplaudiendo a un artista millonario
Cambios, cambios
que vengan los cambios
pasan los años, estamos igual
Cambios, cambios
empezar por adentro
no te hagas daño
sólo trata cambiar
Yo no tengo trabajo
pero ellos tampoco llegaron
nunca, jamás pisaron la Luna
y te regalan profilácticos
en el subte y en el tren
te dicen: -Jamás pierdas el control
que cuides los mares
y no envuelvas nada en celofán
y te prohiben usar el aerosol
Para que un hijo de puta
se cague en el ozono
fabrique aviones y entierre los
deshechos en el Sur
Y en un experimento
se escape un pobre mono
con el maldito virus
y nos apeste a todos... quiero
Cambios, cambios
que vengan los cambios
pasan los años, estamos igual
Cambios, cambios
empezar por adentro
no te hagas daño
sólo trata cambiar
Le regalo una foto
autografiada por el Che
y un video de Bugs Bunny
un banderín de River Plate
aunque el pibe nació en Avellaneda
donde el aire mata gente en las veredas
pero ella hace mucho
que no duerme con él...
pero esta noche, ja, ja, ja
Cambios, cambios
que vengan los cambios
pasan los años, estamos igual
Cambios, cambios
sólo trata, cambios...

Fany
Fany
Performer(s): Yves Duteil
Fany quand elle rêve
C'est que la nuit s'achève
Elle voit le monde à son réveil
Avec les yeux de son sommeil
A l'aube elle se lève
Un chevalier l'enlève
Pour l'emporter dans son château
Perché au sommet du hameau
Fany dans son île
Voudrait bien voir la ville
De l'autre côté des montagnes
Elle a quelqu'un qui l'accompagne
Elle part pour l'école
Et sa fusée décolle
Elle jette au passage un coup d'œil
Sur ses deux petits écureuils
Parfois quand elle berce
Sa petite princesse
Elle a les yeux d'une maman
Sur son visage de sept ans
Fany quand elle aime
C'est comme un long poème
Elle dit des mots qui n'ont plus cours
Que dans les vieux livres d'amour
Elle vit dans un songe
Le reste est un mensonge
Son cœur est clair comme un ruisseau
Mais la vie trouble un peu son eau
Alors elle résiste
Le soir quand elle est triste
Elle prie jusqu'à la nuit venue
Pour que son rêve continue
Et si par surprise
Ses vœux se réalisent
Elle dit "Je n'en crois pas mes yeux
Je dois rêver mais c'est tant mieux"
Que rien ne l'arrête
Ni chagrin ni défaite
Elle fait le monde à sa façon
Elle sait déjà qu'elle a raison
Fany, quand elle rêve
C'est un jour qui se lève...

Ballad Of Bonnie And Clyde
Ballad Of Bonnie And Clyde
Composer(s): Mitch Murray - Peter Callander
Performer(s): Georgie Fame
Bonnie and Clyde were pretty lookin' people
But I can tell you people they were the devil's children
Bonnie and Clyde began their evil doin'
One lazy afternoon down Savannah way
They robbed a store, and high-tailed outa that town
Got clean away in a stolen car
And waited till the heat died down
Bonnie and Clyde advanced their reputation
And made the graduation
Into the banking business
"Reach for the sky" sweet-talking Clyde would holler
As Bonnie loaded dollars in the dewlap bag
Now one brave man, he tried to take 'em alone
They left him Iyin' in a pool of blood
And laughed about it all the way home
Bonnie and Clyde got to be public enemy number one
Running and hiding from ev'ry American lawman's gun
They used to laugh about dyin'
But deep inside 'em they knew
That pretty soon they'd be lyin'
Beneath the ground together
Pushing up daisies to welcome the sun
And the morning dew
Acting upon reliable information
A fed'ral deputation laid a deadly ambush
When Bonnie and Clyde came walking in the sunshine
A half a dozen carbines opened up on them
Bonnie and Clyde, they lived a lot together
And finally together they died

Cambios (Juan Carlos Baglietto)
Cambios
Composer(s): Adrian Abonizio
Performer(s): Juan Carlos Baglietto
No hay un cambio si fueron disueltos
y dejaron los estados desiertos
la tecnologia europea
se rompe en la cordillera
y conejitos de indias somos
por suerte no hay otra vida
como nos promete el cura
No hay un mango en las arcas del cielo
se robaron los diez mandamientos
un video clip neoyorquino
vale menos que un vaso
ser de esta tierra es pecado
y ser fieles al pasado
nos convierte en esclavos
Cuanto duras, cuanto deseas
el deseo de desear
el deseo de cambiar
esta tierra colombina
te embriaga pero te quita
un poco de alegria
por que todavia te duelen las heridas
Disculpame no quiero cantarte mas
los soldados se pintan como tu mamá
y hay un señor elegido
que a todos pide permiso
Menos a vos que viste la vida
por una consigna
y hoy no vale cinco guitas
marihuana entre rejas
hoy corres la coneja
como el ciego del subte
que canta villancicos
aunque no sea navidad
Cuanto duras, cuanto …

The Ballad Of Billy The Kid
The Ballad Of Billy The Kid
Composer(s): Billy Joel
Performer(s): Billy Joel
From a town known as Wheeling West Virginia
Rode a boy with a six-gun in his hand
And his daring life of crime
Made him a legend in his time
East and West of the Rio Grande
Well he started with a bank in Colorado
In the pocket of hist vest a Colt he hid
And his age and his size
Took the teller by surprise
And the words spread of Billy the Kid
Well he never travelled heavy
Yes, he always rode alone
And he soon put many older guns to shame
Well he never had a sweetheart
And he never had a home
But the cowboys and the ranchers knew his name
Well he robbed his way from Utah to Oklahoma
And the law just couldn't seem to track him down
And it served his legend well
For the folks they love to tell
'Bout when Billy the Kid was in town
One cold day a posse captured Billy
And the judge said string 'im up for what he did
And the cowboys and their kin
Like the sea came pourin' in
To watch the hangin' of Billy the Kid
Well he never travelled heavy
Yes, he always rode alone
And he soon put many older guns to shame
Well he never had a sweetheart
Tho' he finally found a home
Underneath the Boot Hill grave that bears his name
From a town known as Oyster Bay, Long Island
Rode a boy with a six-pack in his hand
And his daring life of crime
Made him a legend in his time
East and West of the Rio Grande

Cambió
aquel destello en tu mirar
Tu risa ya no huele a mar
No puedo creer
cambió
Cambió
Tu beso ya no es de pasión
Tu boca canta otra canción
No puedo entender
cambió
Me encerraste junto a tus sombras
las que quisieras borrar
Tu estrella ya no me nombra
¿A quién le podrá importar?
Cambió
Se ha ido el ángel que había en ti
y aunque no atines a partir
ya no estás aquí
cambió

Fantasy Flight
Fantasy Flight
Composer(s): Michael Pinder
Performer(s): Michael Pinder
It's time to turn off the light
I'm half asleep and I keep on yawning
It's time to cuddle up tight
We'll see the dawn if we stay here talking
Let's dream the rest of the night
As dreamers do when they contemplating
We'll take a fantasy flight
The fare is free and the ship is waiting
All aboard, the silver chord
The tour's about to start
See the famous asteroids
And a thousand, million stars
See the planets as they fly
Never falling from their path
Through our solar system's sky
Rock of ages is their map
Rock of ages is their map
Universal delight
The air is clear and the view breath-taking
It's such a wonderful sight
A solar flare and a moonbeam mating
Let's dream the rest of the night
As dreamers do when they come to play
We'll take a fantasy flight
The fare is free and the ship is waiting
All aboard, the silver chord
The tour's about to start
See the famous asteroids
And a thousand, million stars
See the planets as they fly
Never falling from their path
Through our solar system's sky
Rock of ages is their map
Rock of ages is their map
It's time to turn off the light
I'm half asleep and I keep on yawning
It's time to cuddle up tight
We'll see the dawn if we stay here talking
Let's dream the rest of the night
As dreamers do when they contemplating
We'll take a fantasy flight
The fare is free and the ship is waiting
All aboard, the silver chord
The tour's about to start
See the famous asteroids
And a thousand, million stars
See the planets as they fly
Never falling from their path
Through our solar system's sky
Rock of ages is their map
Rock of ages is their map

The Balance Of Nature
The Balance Of Nature
Composer(s): Burt Bacharach - Hal David
Performer(s): Dionne Warwick; Burt Bacharach; Indian Creek Singers
Once to every bird there comes along
the one bird that sings her a sweeter song
and the balance of nature goes on
forever and ever with true love
Once to every deer there comes a deer
and from that first moment it's very clear that
the balance of nature goes on
forever and ever with true love
Day by day we search for love
the way we all were born to do
not one by one but two by two
So, as long as there's a you and me
together that's how it will always be
and the balance of nature goes on, on, and on
with true love
