Centerfield
Centerfield
((Finnish Version: Vasen Pakki (Moogetmoogs) - 1993))
Composer(s): John Fogerty
First release by: John Fogerty - 1985
Well, beat the drum and hold the phone
the sun came out today!
We're born again, there's new grass on the field
A-roundin' third and headed for home
it's a brown-eyed handsome man
Anyone can understand the way I feel
Oh, put me in, Coach ~ I'm ready to play today!
Put me in, Coach ~ I'm ready to play today
Look at me, I can be Centerfield
Well, I spent some time in the Mudville Nine
watchin' it from the bench
You know I took some lumps when the Mighty "Case" struck out
So, say Hey Willie, Tell Ty Cobb and Joe DiMaggio
Don't say "It ain't so", you know the time is now
Oh, put me in, Coach ~ I'm ready to play today!
Put me in, Coach ~ I'm ready to play today
Look at me, I can be Centerfield
Yeah! I got it! I got it!!
Got a beat-up glove, and a homemade bat
and a brand new pair of shoes
You know I think it's time to give this game a ride
Just to hit the ball and touch 'em all ~
a moment in the sun: {Pop!}
It's gone and you can tell that one good-bye!
Oh, put me in, Coach ~ I'm ready to play today!
Put me in, Coach ~ I'm ready to play today
Look at me, I can be Centerfield.
Oh, put me in, Coach ~ I'm ready to play today!
Put me in, Coach ~ I'm ready to play today
Look at me, I can be Centerfield
Yeah!

The Golden Road (To Unlimited Devotion)
Composer(s): Jerry Garcia - Bill Kreutzmann - Philip Lesh - Ron McKernan - Bob Weir
First release by: The Grateful Dead - 1967
See that girl barefooting along
Whistling and singing, she's a-carrying on
Got laughing in her eyes
Dancing in her feet
She's a neon diamond
She can live on the street
Hey, hey, come right away
Come and join the party
Every day
Hey, hey, come right away
Come and join the party every day
Well, everybody's dancing in a ring around the sun
Nobody's finished, we ain't even begun
So take off your shoes, child
And take off your hat
Try on your wings
And find out where it's at
Hey, hey, come right away
Come and join the party
Every day
Hey, hey, come right away
Come and join the party every day
Take a vacation, fall out for a while
Summer's coming in and it's going out in style
Well, lie down smoking, honey
Have yourself a ball
'Cause your mother's down in Memphis
Won't be back till the fall
Hey, hey, come right away
Come and join the party
Every day
Hey, hey, come right away
Come and join the party every day

Cent Ans De Plus
Cent Ans De Plus
Composer(s): Francis Cabrel
Performer(s): Francis Cabrel
Cent ans dans la peau de l'esclave
Et juste après cent ans de plus
Chercher des miettes sous les tables
Avant que les blancs ne marchent dessus
Dormir sur des paquets de planches
Chanter seulement le dimanche
Tu vois la femme noire
Dans le rôle de la bonne
Avec tout à côté
Tout tordu son bonhomme
Après ça faut pas que tu t'étonnes
C'est Eux qui ont fait
Eux qui ont fait
Son House et Charlie Patton
Howlin' Wolf et Blind Lemon
Bien rouge le sang de l'Afrique
Sur la jolie fleur du coton
La toute nouvelle Amérique
La belle démocratie "Welcome"
Bateaux déportant les villages
Au bout de l'immense voyage
Gravé dans la mémoire
Pour des années-lumière
Chaque larme d'ivoire
Chaque collier de fer
Après ça faut pas que tu t'étonnes
C'est Eux qui ont fait
Eux qui ont fait
Son House et Charlie Patton
Howlin' Wolf et Blind Lemon
Toujours plaire aux marchands de fantômes
Elle qu'on achète et lui que l'on donne
Naître avec la peine maximum
Toujours vivant dans ce que nous sommes
Peuple interdit du reste des hommes
Cherchant le bleu de l'ancien royaume
Eux qui ont fait faut pas que ça t'étonne
Son House et Charlie Patton
Blind Blake et Willie Dixon
Ma Rainey et Robert Johnson
Howlin' Wolf et Blind Lemon...
Son House et Charlie Patton

And when we see the landlord
We can look that guy right in the eye
We're in the money
Come, on my honey
Let's spend it, lend it, send it rolling along

Cenizas
Cenizas
Composer(s): Wello Rivas
Performer(s): Javier Solís
Después de tanto soportar la pena de sentir tu olvido
después que todo te lo dio mi pobre corazón herido
has vuelto a verme para que yo sepa de tu desventura
por la amargura de un amor igual al que me diste tú
Ya no podré ni perdonar ni darte lo que tú me diste
has de saber que de un cariño muerto no existe rencor
y si pretendes remover las ruinas que tú mismo hiciste
sólo cenizas hallarás de todo lo que fue mi amor

The Going Ups And The Coming Downs
The Going Ups And The Coming Downs
Composer(s): Jim Weatherly
First release by: Gladys Knight & The Pips - 1974
One day you say you love me
The next day it’s goodbye
The next you say you’re sorry
And you wanna give it one more try
Ooh, the way you change your mind
Time and time again
Well, I don’t know if I’m behind
Or just about to end, hey
Certain lies, smiles and frowns
The goin’ ups and the comin’ downs
Ooh, hoo
Ooh, hoo
One minute you’re warm and lovin’
The next your heart’s grown cold
The way you keep me guessin’
Is killin’ my soul
Ooh, just when my hopes run high
And I think I’ve got it made
Hey... hey... along comes a rainy day
To rain on my parade, hey, hey, hey
Certain lies, smiles and frowns
The goin’ ups and the comin’ downs
Oh... ho...
I don’t know just what it is about you
That keeps me from walkin’ out the door
Mmm... mmm... hmm...
Just when I think that I can get along without you
You just say something nice
And I come struttin’ back for more
One day our world’s a dream
Next it falls apart, mmm, hmm
And I don’t even think you know
What you’re doin’ to my heart
Mmm, I guess I’ll never learn
Some people never do
But when I feel like givin’ up
I just can’t give up on you, hey, hey, hey
Certain lies, smiles and frowns, huh
The goin’ ups and the comin’ downs, hey, hey, hey
Certain lies, smiles and frowns
The goin’ ups and the comin’ downs
Certain lies, smiles and frowns
The goin’ ups and the comin’ downs, hey, hey, hey, hey
Certain lies, smiles and frowns
The goin’ ups

Cemento Armato
Cemento Armato
Composer(s): Aldo Tagliapietra - Antonio Pagliuca
Performer(s): Le Orme
Cemento armato la grande città
senti la vita che se ne va
vicino a casa non si respira
è sempre buio ci si dispera
Ci son più sirene nell'aria che canti di usignoli
E meglio fuggire e non tornare più
Dolce risveglio il sole è con me
Nell'aria le note di una chitarra
la casa è lontana, gli amici di ieri
è tutto svanito , non li ricordo più
Cemento armato la grande città
senti la vita che se ne va

Forever Man
Composer(s): Jerry Lynn Williams
Performer(s): Eric Clapton; Beatchuggers
How many times must I tell you babe
How many bridges I’ve got to cross?
How many times must I explain myself
Before I can talk to the boss
’fore I can talk to the boss?
How many times must I say I love you
Before you finally understand?
Won’t you be my forever woman?
I’ll try to be your forever man
Try to be your forever man
Second verse
Forever man, forever man, forever man
Forever man, forever man, forever man
Try to be your forever man
Forever man, forever man, forever man
Forever man, forever man, forever man
Try to be your forever man

The Gnu Song
The Gnu Song
Composer(s): Michael Flanders - Donald Swann
Performer(s): Flanders & Swann; John Lithgow
A year ago, last Thursday
I was strolling in the zoo
when I met a man who though he knew the lot
He was laying down the law about the habits of baboons
And how many spines a porcupine has got
So I asked him
"What's that creature there?"
He answered, "Oh, it's a h'Elk"
I might of gone on thinking that was true
If the animal in question hadn't put that chap to shame
And remarked, "I h'aint a h'Elk, I'm a Gnu"
"I'm a Gnu
I'm a Gnu
The g-nicest work of g-nature in the zoo
I'm a Gnu
How do you do
You really ought to k-now w-ho's w-ho's
I'm a Gnu
Spelt G-n-u
I'm g-not a Camel or a Kangaroo
So let me introduce
I'm g-neither man or moose
Oh g-no g-no g-no I'm a Gnu"
I had taken furnished lodgings down at Rustington-on-Sea
Whence I travelled on to Ashton-under-Lyne it was actually
And the second night I stayed there I was woken from a dream
That I'll tell you all about some other time
Among the hunting trophies on the wall above my bed
Stuffed and mounted, was a face I thought I knew
A Bison? No, it's not a Bison.
An Okapi? Unlikely
Really
A Hartebeest?
When I though I heard a voice...
"I'm a Gnu
I'm a Gnu
A g-nother gnu
I wish I could g-nash my teeth at you
I'm a Gnu
How do you do
You really ought to k-now w-ho's w-ho's
I'm a Gnu
Spelt G-n-u
Call me Bison or Okapi and I'll sue
G-nor am I the least like that dreadful Hartebeest
Oh, g-no, g-no, g-no
G-no g-no g-no, I'm a Gnu
G-no g-no g-no, I'm a Gnu"

Money talks
But it don't sing and dance
And it don't walk
And long as I can have you here with me
I'd much rather be
Forever in blue jeans.
Honey's sweet
But it ain't nothin' next to baby's treat
And if you pardon me
I'd like to say
We'll do okay
Forever in blue jeans
Maybe tonight
Maybe tonight, you and I
All alone by the fire
Nothing around
But the sound of my heart
And your sighs.
Money talks
But it don't sing and dance
And it don't walk
And long as I can have you here with me
I'd much rather be
Forever in blue jeans, babe

The Gnome
The Gnome
Composer(s): Syd Barrett
First release by: Pink Floyd - 1967
I want to tell you a story
'Bout a little man
If I can
A gnome named Grimble Gromble
And little gnomes stay in their homes
Eating, sleeping, drinking their wine
He wore a scarlet tunic
A blue-green hood, it looked quite good
He had a big adventure
Amidst the grass, fresh air at last
Wining, dining, biding his time
And then one day
Hooray, another way for gnomes to say
Oooh, my...
Look at the sky
Look at the river
Isn't it good?
Look at the sky
Look at the river
Isn't it good?
Winding, finding places to go
And then one day
Hooray, another way for gnomes to say
Oooh, my...
Oooh, my...

Taka Takata (La Femme Du Toréro)
Composer(s): Claude Lemesle
Performer(s): Joe Dassin
Taka takata kata kata kata
J'entends mon cœur qui bat
Taka takata kata kata kata
Au rythme de ses pas
La sangria coulait
À la feria de Tolède
La fille qui dansait
M'était montée à la tête
Quand un banderillo
Me dit "l'ami, reste calme
Prends garde au torero
Si tu regardes sa femme"
Mais elle s'avance vers moi
Et laisse tomber sa rose
Avec un billet qui propose
Un rendez-vous à l'hacienda
On s'était enlacés sous l'oranger
Mais la dueña dont c'était le métier
Criait "vengeance, aux arènes!"
Le matador trompé
Surgit de l'ombre et s'avance
Moi, sur mon oranger
J'essaie de faire l'orange
Taka takata kata kata kata
J'entends mon cœur qui bat
Taka takata kata kata kata
Au rythme de ses pas
"L'homme, tu vas payer"
Dit-il, "voici l'estocade
Mes picadors sont prêts
Et mon œil noir te regarde"
Et c'est depuis ce jour
Qu'un toréro me condamme
A balayer sa cour
Pour l'avoir faite à sa femme
Taka takata kata kata kata
J'entends mon cœur qui bat
Taka takata kata kata kata
Au rythme de ses pas

Forever For You
Forever For You
Composer(s): Paul Barry;
John Oates; Mark Taylor; Steve Torch
Performer(s): Darryl Hall & John Oates
Does anyone know what love can cost
It'll take you so high then leave you lost
Is it a mystery
that runs too deep
for such a simple heart
Can anyone stop the hands of time
and put back the loving in your eyes
Though it's his name I hear when you are sleeping
I'll pretend it's mine
(chorus)
When they ask me how long I'm gonna love you
If the road to my heart will always stay true
I'll say forever
I'll say forever for you
When they ask will I stand right there beside you
and they don't see you and me the way that I do
I'll say forever
I'll say forever for you
A rose is a rose by any name
but a thorn will still cut you just the same
I'm losing your love I know
so sad the feeling
I can tell somebody's stealing
Stealing away your heart
When they ask me how long I'm gonna love you
If the road to my heart will always stay true
I'll say forever
I'll say forever for you
When they ask will I stand right there beside you
and they don't see you and me the way that I do
I'll say forever
I'll say forever for you
I don't know if I should tell you
how you live in my heart
There's no room for another
If you leave me now
my heart would not recover
When they ask me how long I'm gonna love you
If the road to my heart will always stay true
I'll say forever
I'll say forever for you
When they ask will I stand right there beside you
and they don't see you and me the way that I do
I'll say forever
I'll say forever for you

Performer(s): May Naudain - 1907
and multiple other artists
Shine little glow-worm, glimmer, glimmer
Shine little glow-worm, glimmer, glimmer
Lead us lest too far we wander
Love's sweet voice is calling yonder
Shine little glow-worm, glimmer, glimmer
Hey, there don't get dimmer, dimmer
Light the path below, above
And lead us on to love!
Glow little glow-worm, fly of fire
Glow like an incandescent wire
Glow for the female of the species
Turn on the AC and the DC
This night could use a little brightnin'
Light up you little ol' bug of lightnin'
When you gotta glow, you gotta glow
Glow little glow-worm, glow
Glow little glow-worm, glow and glimmer
Swim through the sea of night, little swimmer
Thou aeronautical boll weevil
Illuminate yon woods primeval
See how the shadows deep and darken
You and your chick should get to sparkin'
I got a gal that I love so
Glow little glow-worm, glow
Glow little glow-worm, turn the key on
You are equipped with taillight neon
You got a cute vest-pocket *Mazda*
Which you can make both slow and *fazda*
I don't know who you took a shine to
Or who you're out to make a sign to
I got a gal that I love so
Glow little glow-worm, glow
Glow little glow-worm, glow
Glow little glow-worm, glow
Glow little glow-worm, glow!!
