Cold As Ice
Cold As Ice
Composer(s): Mick Jones; Lou Gramm
Performer(s): Foreigner
You're as cold as ice
You're willing to sacrifice our love
You never take advice
Someday you'll pay the price, I know
I've seen it before
It happens all the time
Closing the door
You leave the world behind
You're digging for gold
Yet throwing away
A fortune in feelings
But someday you'll pay
You're as cold as ice
You're willing to sacrifice our love
You want paradise
But someday you'll pay the price, I know
I've seen it before
It happens all the time
Closing the door
You leave the world behind
You're digging for gold
Yet throwing away
A fortune in feelings
But someday you'll pay
(Cold - as - ice)
You know that you are
(Cold-cold) - (as-as) - (ice)
As cold as ice to me
(Cold-cold-cold) - (as-as-as) - (ice)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, you're as cold as ice)
(You're as cold as icccce)
You're as cold as ice
(Cold as icccce)
Cold as ice I know
(You're as cold as icccce)
You're as cold as ice
(Cold as icccce)
Cold as ice I know
(You're as cold as icccce)
Oh, yes I know
(Cold as icccce)
(You're as cold as icccce)
You're as cold as ice
(Cold as icccce)
Cold as ice I know
(You're as cold as icccce)
Oh, yes I know

I Have Confidence
I Have Confidence
Composer(s): Richard Rodgers
First release by: Julie Andrews - 1965
What will this day be like? I wonder
What will my future be? I wonder
It could be so exciting to be out in the world, to be free
My heart should be wildly rejoicing
Oh, what's the matter with me?
I've always longed for adventure
To do the things I've never dared
And here I'm facing adventure
Then why am I so scared
A captain with seven children
What's so fearsome about that?
Oh, I must stop these doubts, all these worries
If I don't I just know I'll turn back
I must dream of the things I am seeking
I am seeking the courage I lack
The courage to serve them with reliance
Face my mistakes without defiance
Show them I'm worthy
And while I show them
I'll show me
So, let them bring on all their problems
I'll do better than my best
I have confidence they'll put me to the test
But I'll make them see I have confidence in me
Somehow I will impress them
I will be firm but kind
And all those children (Heaven bless them!)
They will look up to me
And mind me with each step I am more certain
Everything will turn out fine
I have confidence the world can all be mine
They'll have to agree I have confidence in me
I have confidence in sunshine
I have confidence in rain
I have confidence that spring will come again
Besides which you see I have confidence in me
Strength doesn't lie in numbers
Strength doesn't lie in wealth
Strength lies in nights of peaceful slumbers
When you wake up -- Wake Up!
It tells me all I trust I lead my heart to
All I trust becomes my own
I have confidence in confidence alone
(Oh help!)
I have confidence in confidence alone
Besides which you see I have confidence in me!

The Shut-In's Prayer
The Shut-In's Prayer
Composer(s): Jimmy Martin - Paul Williams
Performer(s): Jimmy Martin & The Sunny Mountain Boys
Last night as the moon pulled anchor
And sailed down the milky way
It peeked through an old front window
Where a lonely shut-in lay
The moon seemed to shine much brighter
Each star seemed to nod it's head
The night seemed so strangely peaceful
When they heard what the shut-in said
Dear God way up in heaven
I earnestly pray to thee
And my prayer, oh Lord, was thou answered
And lay a healing hand on me
This vain world seems to forget me, Lord
And I've been a shut-in so long
I'm needing thy love, dear Jesus
And still in my heart a song
Lord, I ask not for gold or silver
And no diamonds to call my own
Just give me that touch of healing
I'm so weak and all alone
I trust that I'm not asking too much
Of thy heavenly wealth
When humbly, dear Lord, I pray thee
Just give me back my health
Then off to dreamland the shut-in drifted
Yes, God heard what the shut-in said
The night seemed so strangely peaceful
When they heard what the shut-in said

Cold
Cold
Composer(s): Robert Smith; Lol Tolhurst; Simon Johnathon Gallup
Originally performed by: The Cure
Scarred
Your back was turned
Curled like an embryo
Take another face
You will be kissed again
I was cold as I mouthed the words
And crawled across the mirror
I wait
Await the next breath
Your name
Like ice into my heart
A shallow grave
A monument to the ruined age
Ice in my eyes
And eyes like ice don't move
Screaming at the moon
Another past time
Your name
Like ice into my heart
Everything as cold as life
Can no one save you?
Everything
As cold as silence
And you never say a word
Your name
Like ice into my heart
Your name
Like ice into my heart

The Shrine Of St. Cecilia
The Shrine Of St. Cecilia
Composer(s): Pern Jokern - Carroll Loveday
Performer(s): The Andrews Sisters
and multiple other artists
Our home is a shambles, all I treasured has gone
The town seems deserted, everyone's so forlorn
A storm came from up above but somehow it missed
The shrine of Saint Cecilia
The bells in the chapel never ring anymore
The clock in the steeple can't tell time as before
But up on the hillside, stands a place heaven blest
The shrine of Saint Cecilia
Each day at eventide
When I seek haven from my daily care
You'll find me by her side
It seems so peaceful there
I kneel in my solitude and silently pray
That heaven will protect you, dear, and there'll come a day
The storm will be over and that we'll meet again
At the shrine of Saint Cecilia
Each day at eventide
When I seek haven from my daily care
You'll find me by her side
It seems so peaceful there
I kneel in my solitude and silently pray
That heaven will protect you, dear, and there'll come a day
The storm will be over and that we'll meet again
At the shrine of Saint Cecilia

Cola De Amor
Composer(s): León Gieco
Performer(s): León Gieco
No me queda bien estar fingiendo
aqui parado cualquier linea me deja bien
A veces sin rumbo cola de amor
voy a buscarte espero aqui o me voy
Miran otros ojos alrededor
no creo que alguien pueda robarme este amor
Mas de diez años mas que los vientos mas un dolor
no creo que alguien pueda robarme este amor
Para poder seguir tengo que empazar todo de nuevo
un canto libre para la luna y para vos
En una orilla todos los dias descansaran
y con un sueño en un lugar y con un sueño en un lugar
y con un sueño en un lugar te espero
No me queda bien estar fingiendo
aqui parado cualquier linea me deja bien
A veces sin rumbo cola de amor
voy a buscarte espero aqui o me voy
Para poder seguir tengo que empazar todo de nuevo
un canto libre para la luna y para vos
En una orilla todos los dias descansaran
y con un sueño en un lugar y con un sueño en un lugar
y con un sueño en un lugar te espero
No me queda bien estar fingiendo
aqui parado cualquier linea me deja bien
Mas de diez años mas que los vientos mas un dolor
no creo que alguien pueda robarme este amor

Ride The Wild Surf
Ride The Wild Surf
Composer(s): Jan Berry;
Roger Christian; Brian Wilson
Performer(s): Jan & Dean;
and various other artists
In Hawaii there's a place known as Waimea Bay
Where the best surfers in the world come to stay
And ride the wild surf, they come to try
To conquer those waves some thirty feet high
Ride, ride, ride the wild surf
Ride, ride, ride the wild surf
Ride, ride, ride the wild surf
Gotta take that one last ride
Surf fever brings 'em here to meet the test
And hangin' 'round the beach you'll see the best
They're waxed up and ready, just a-waitin' for
The surf to build up on the northern shore
Ride, ride, ride the wild surf
Ride, ride, ride the wild surf
Ride, ride, ride the wild surf
Gotta take that one last ride
Lined up and waitin' for that next big set outside
Nothin' can stop it 'cause you
Just gotta ride, ride, ride, ride, ride
The heavies at the Pipeline are OK
But they can't match the savage surf at Waimea Bay
It takes a lot of skill and courage unknown
To catch a last wave and ride it in alone
Ride, ride, ride the wild surf
Ride, ride, ride the wild surf
Ride, ride, ride the wild surf
Gotta take that one last
Gotta take that one last ride
Ride, ride, ride the wild surf
Ride, ride, ride the wild surf
Ride, ride, ride the wild surf
Gotta take that one last ri-i-i-i-i-i-ide

The Soul Is The Rock
The Soul Is The Rock
Composer(s): Gordon Lightfoot
Performer(s): Gordon Lightfoot
The soul is the rock and the rock will not be moved
Nothing is disputed, yet nothing is disproved
And the seeds of the earth that were planted long ago
Still yield a better harvest than the rock was prone to grow
Say what you like to do what you do
Everyone's sleeping now, two by two
Bats in the roof, cats in the hall
Dust on the stairway, gnats on the wall
Big rain comin'
Big rain comin' this way
Rain on the rock
Rain on the rock
Rain on the rock
The sea is the space which the rock has displaced
The mind is some stranger that the soul has embraced
And somewhere between, in a no-man's land of dreams
The heart becomes the soldier yet the rock is not redeemed
Say what you like to do what you can
Live like a sheep, die like a lamb
Bats in the roof, cats in the hall
Dust on the stairway, gnats on the wall
Big rain comin'
Big rain comin' this way
Rain on the rock
Rain on the rock
Rain on the rock
The soul is the rock and the rock will always roll
In circles 'round the sun doing rings around the pole
When the mind is not sure what the heart will do next
The rock becomes the master and the road becomes what's left
Late one night when the moon shone down
We went to the mill on the edge of the town
She wore white, I wore black
The town was sleeping when we got back
Big rain comin'
Big rain comin' this way
Rain on the rock
Rain on the rock
Rain on the rock
The soul is the rock and the rock will not be harmed
Though man must be cheated just as women must be charmed
And the mind is the light for the heart which cannot see
The soul becomes the stranger but the rock will always be
Say what you like to do what you do
Everyone's sleeping now two by two
Bats in the roof, cats in the hall
Dust on the stairway, gnats on the wall
Oh Big rain comin'
Big rain comin' this way
Rain on the rock
Rain on the rock
Rain on the rock
The soul is the rock and the rock will not be moved
Nothing is disputed yet nothing is disproved
And the seeds of the earth that were planted long ago
Still yield a better harvest than the rock was prone to grow
And the seeds of the earth that were planted long ago
Still yield a better harvest than the rock was prone to grow

The Shoemaker's Serenade
The Shoemaker's Serenade
Composer(s): Edward Lisbona - Joe Lubin
Performer(s): Lou Preager
and multiple other artists
He'll mend your shoes for you, he'll mend your blues for you
With clicks of the tricks of the trade
For as he taps away your heart will start to sway
To the shoemaker's serenade
Tick-a-tick-a-tee, tick-a-tick-a-tay
Tick-a-tick-a-tick tick tick tick tick tick tick-a-tick-a-tay
The things that gent can do to any bent old shoe
No matter how tattered and frayed
And as he sews your seams he mends your broken dreams
With his shoemaker's serenade
Tick-a-tick-a-tee, tick-a-tick-a-tay
Tick-a-tick-a-tick tick tick tick tick tick tick-a-tick-a-tay
I'd like to state his work is great
And if you wait he won't take long
And you can watch the children of the neighbourhood
Gaily dancing to his merry song
If you're along the street and hear a song that's sweet
It's not any penny arcade
It's just a cobbler gay who shoos your blues away
With the shoemaker serenade
Tick-a-tick-a-tee, tick-a-tick-a-tay
Tick-a-tick-a-tick tick tick tick tick tick tick-a-tick-a-tay

Col Tempo
Col Tempo
((Adapted from: Avec Le Temps (by Léo Ferré) - 1970))
Composer(s): Léo Ferré - Enrico Medail
Performer(s): Patty Pravo - 1972
Col tempo sai
Col tempo tutto se ne va
Non ricordi più il viso
Non ricordi la voce
Quando il cuore ormai tace
A che serve cercare
Ti lasci andare e forse è meglio cosi
Col tempo sai
Col tempo tutto se ne va
L'altro che adoravi che cercavi nel buio
L'altro che indovinavi
In un batter di ciglia
Tra le frasi e le righe, in fondo di tinta
Di promesse agghindate
Per uscire a ballare
Col tempo sai
Tutto scompare
Col tempo sai
Col tempo tutto se ne va
Ogni cosa appassisce
Io mi scopro a frugare
In vetrine di morte
Quando il sabato sera
La tenerezza rimane senza compagnia
Col tempo sai
Col tempo tutto se ne va
L'altro a cui tu credevi
Anche a un colpo di tosse
L'altro che ricoprivi
Di gioielli e di vento
Ed avresti impegnato anche l'anima al monte
A cui ti trascinavi
Alla pari di un cane
Col tempo sai
Tutto va bene
Col tempo sai
Col tempo tutto se ne va
Non ricordi più il fuoco
Non ricordi le voci
E la gente da poco
E il loro sussurrare
Non ritardare copriti col freddo che fa
Col tempo sai
Col tempo tutto se ne va
E ti senti il biancore
Di un cavallo sfiancato
In un letto straniero
Ti senti gelato
Solitario ma in fondo in pace col mondo
E ti senti tradito dagli anni perduti
Col tempo sai
Allora tu
Non ami più

Ride The Tiger
Ride The Tiger
Composer(s): Byong Yu;
Grace Slick; Paul Kantner
Performer(s): Jefferson Starship
I want to ride the tiger
I want to ride the tiger
It will be black and white in the dead of night
Eyes flashing in the clear moonlight
I want to ride the tiger
It's like a tear in the hands of a western man
Tell you about salt, carbon and water
But a tear to a chinese man
He'll tell you about sadness and sorrow or the love of a man and a woman
I want to ride the tiger
I want to sail through the risin' sun for you and you
We got something to learn from the other side
Something to give, we got nothing to hide
I want to ride the tiger
Black wants out of the streets
Yellow wants the country
Red wants the country back
And white wants out of this world
Sing - sing to the sky
I want to ride the tiger
I want to ride the tiger
Look to the summer of seventy-five
All the world is gonna come alive
Do you want to ride the tiger?
It's like a tear in the hands of a western man
Tell you about salt, carbon and water
But a tear to an oriental man
He'll tell you about sadness and sorrow or the love of a man and a woman

The Sons Of Hercules
The Sons Of Hercules
The mighty Sons of Hercules
Once thundered through the years
These men of steel could never feel
The curse of a coward's fears
The Mighty Sons of Hercules
Were men as men should be
They burned with dreams
And turned their dreams into history
A hundred giants, brave and bold
They ruled the world in days of old
The Mighty Sons of Hercules
Were men as men should be
They took the world and shook the world
The Sons of Hercules
The Mighty Sons of Hercules
Once thundered through the years
These men of steel could never feel
The curse of a coward's fears
The Mighty Sons of Hercules
Were men as men should be
They burned with dreams
Then turned their dreams into history
They are there when the need arrives
There to show that might and right still survive!
On land or on the sea, as long as there is need
There'll be Sons of Hercules
There'll be Sons of Hercules!

Do you care? Is there a chance for me?
Do you care? I wish I knew
Won't you try to confess
That you find happiness
In the tender caress
The way I do
Do you care that I am so in love
Please be fair, you know it’s true
And just supposing I should say
That I’ve a heart to share
Would it matter at all, do you care?
Do you care that I am so in love
Please be fair, you know it’s true
And just supposing I should say
That I’ve a heart to share
Would it matter at all, do you care?

Coke, Suede And Waterbeds
Composer(s): Kraemer - MacNeil - Beard - Mayell
Performer(s): The Sopwith Camel
Coke, Suede and Waterbeds
They've all got bodies but they call them heads
And their friends in the legal trade
Got Oriental rugs and jade
Oh, Mama, please help them.
Now they've all got money down
House in the country, store in town
Baby looks fine in her platform shoes
Daddy's got a harp, trying to learn the blues
Oh, Mama, please need them
This scene is making me insane
Everybody seems the same
Secret pockets, poison rings
Everybody's hiding things
There's a girl with a tiger's claw
She says I'm made of ice but I love to thaw
Oh, Mama, please love her
Young cat, dressed in white
Feels un-bad cause he thinks he's light
Goes down town to the hot congo
Hopes to pass for a Chicano
Oh, Mama, please love him
No one here is to blame
Things have always been the same
