The Ultimate Sin


The Ultimate Sin
Composer(s): Bob Daisley - J. Williams - Ozzy Osbourne
Performer(s): Ozzy Osbourne; Soulless



Overkill enough is enough
There's nothing left of me to devour
You've had your fill I'm all I have left
What can stop your hunger for power
'Cos you took advantage of things that I said
Now the feeling is dead

And that's the ultimate sin
And that's the ultimate sin

Anyway I look at it now
The doors are closed and cannot be opened
Bury your anger and bury your dead
Or you'll be left with nothing and no one
There's no point in screaming 'cos you won't be heard
Now that tables have turned

It was the ultimate sin
It was the ultimate sin
It was the ultimate sin
It was the ultimate sin

I warned you then and I'm warning you now
If you mess with me you're playing with fire
Winds of change that are fanning the flames
Will carry you to your funreal pyre
It's pulling you down
It's your final descent
It's too late to repent

When it's the ultimate sin
When it's the ultimate sin
When it's the ultimate sin
When it's the ultimate sin
When it's the ultimate sin

Comes The Flood


Comes The Flood
Composer(s): Tony Carey
Performer(s): Tony Carey



Let's talk it over
let's be blunt
I don't wanna say this more than once
But we've been fighting out on too many fronts
we got lost somewhere
You cut and run away wherever you can
You think what's wrong is something I won't understand
Well
here I am amd babe
I'm holding out my hand
And I really do care
There is only one way out of here
There is only one thing we must fear
Only one voice in my ear
So listen very well here wherever you are
Let the rain come washing over you
Comes the flood
I'll be right there next to you
Let the rain come washing you down
let it wash right over you
Comes the flood
comes the flood
I'll be right there next to you
It felt like heaven when we left that town
Seemed like salvation all the way around
I thought my feet would stay six inches off the ground
We had a love babe
I look you over
and I have to look away
I can't stand to see you hurting that way
Why won't you see that I am with you all the way?
You're my blood babe
There's only one way out of here

Let the rain come washing over you

Rock Me On The Water


Rock Me On The Water
Composer(s): Jackson Browne
Performer(s): Jackson Browne;
and various other artists



Oh people look around you
The signs are everywhere
You left him for somebody other than you
To be the one to care

You're lost inside your houses
There's no time to find you now
Oh your walls are burning
And your towers are turning
I've gotta leave you here
And try to get down to the sea somehow

Rock me on the water
Sister won't you soothe my fevered brow
O-oh rock me on the water
Gotta get down to the sea somehow

The road is filled with homeless souls
Every woman child and man
Who have no idea where they will go
But they'll help you if they can

Now everyone must have some thought
That's gonna pull them through somehow
Well the fires are raging hotter and hotter
But the sisters of the sun
Are gonna rock me on the water now

Rock me on the water
Sister won't you soothe my fevered brow
O-oh rock me on the water
I gotta get down to the sea somehow

Oh people look among you
It's there your hope must lie
There's a seabird above you gliding in one place
Like Jesus in the sky
We all must do the best we can
And then hang onto that gospel cloud
When my life is over
Gonna stand for the father
But the sisters of the sun
Are gonna rock me on the water now

Rock me on the water
Sister won't you soothe my fevered brow
O-oh rock me on the water
Then maybe I'll remember
Maybe I'll remember how

Rock me on the water
The wind is with me now
O-oh rock me on the water
Gotta get down to the sea somehow
I gotta get down to the sea somehow

The Ugly Duckling


The Ugly Duckling
Composer(s): Frank Loesser
Performer(s): Danny Kaye
and multiple other artists



There once was an ugly duckling
With feathers all stubby and brown
And the other birds said in so many words
Get out of town
Get out, get out, get out of town
And he went with a quack and a waddle and a quack
In a flurry of eiderdown
That poor little ugly duckling
Went wandering far and near
But at every place they said to his face
Now get out, get out, get out of here
And he went with a quack and a waddle and a quack
And a very unhappy tear
All through the wintertime he hid himself away
Ashamed to show his face, afraid of what others might say
All through the winter in his lonely clump of wheat
Till a flock of swans spied him there and very soon agreed
You’re a very fine swan indeed!
A swan? Me a swan? Ah, go on!
And he said yes, you’re a swan
Take a look at yourself in the lake and you’ll see
And he looked, and he saw, and he said
I am a swan! Wheeeeeeee!
I’m not such an ugly duckling
No feathers all stubby and brown
For in fact these birds in so many words said
The best in town, the best, the best
The best in town
Not a quack, not a quack, not a waddle or a quack
But a glide and a whistle and a snowy white back
And a head so noble and high
Say who’s an ugly duckling?
Not I!
Not I!

Comes Once In A Lifetime


Comes Once In A Lifetime
Composer(s): Jule Styne; Betty Comden; Adolph Green
Performer(s): Judy Garland
and various other artists



Every day, just go along dawn till sundown
Here's a rundown
Every day that comes, comes once in a lifetime

Take each day and gather the rosebuds in it
Fill each minute
Every day that comes, comes once in a lifetime

Think of now, tomorrow is waiting in the wings
Who knows what it brings
While the future waits, the present swings

Day to day, in Brooklyn or China 'cross the bay
Only once comes this particular sky
Only once these precious hours go by
Only once in a lifetime the day comes by
So live, live, live, live today

Think of now, tomorrow is waiting in the wings
Who knows what it brings
While the future waits, the present swings

From day to day, in Brooklyn or China 'cross the bay
Only once comes this particular sky
Only once these precious hours go by
Only once in a lifetime a day comes by
So live, live, live, come on and live today

Ain't it good
Ain't it right
That you are with me
Here tonight
The music playin'
Our bodies swayin' in time
(In time, in time, in time)

Touching you
So warm and tender

Beautiful is the dream that makes you mine

Mmm

Rock me slowly
Take it easy
Don't you know
That I have never been loved like this before

Baby baby!

Rock me gently
Rock me slowly
Take it easy
Don't you know
That I have never been loved like this before

Oh my darlin'
Oh my baby
You got the moves that drive me crazy
And on your face I see a trace of love
(Of love, of love, of love)
Come hold me close
Don't let me go
I need you, honey
I love you so
You were made for me by the stars above

Oooh
Rock me gently
Rock me slowly
Take it easy

Rock me slowly
Take it easy
Don't you know

Rock me slowly
Take it easy
Don't you know

The Ugly Bug Ball


The Ugly Bug Ball
Composer(s): Richard M. Sherman - Robert B. Sherman
Performer(s): Burl Ives
and multiple other artists



Once a lonely caterpillar sat and cried
To a sympathetic beetle by his side
"I've got nobody to hug
I'm such an ugly bug"

Then a spider and a dragon fly replied
"If you're serious and want to win a bride
Come along with us
To the glorious
Annual ugly bug ball"

Come on let's crawl
Gotta crawl, gotta crawl
To the ugly bug ball
To the ball, to the ball
And a happy time we'll have there
One and all
At the ugly bug ball

While the crickets clicked their tricky melodies
All the ants were fancy-dancing with the fleas
Then up from under the ground
The worms came squirming around

Everyone was glad! What a time they had!
They were so happy they came!

Come on let's crawl
Gotta crawl, gotta crawl
To the ugly bug ball
To the ball, to the ball
And a happy time we'll have there
One and all!
At the ugly bug ball

Then our caterpillar saw a pretty queen
She was beautiful in yellow, black and green
He said, "Would you care to dance?"
Their dancing led to romance

And she sat upon his caterpillar knees
And he gave his caterpillar queen a squeeze
Soon they'll honeymoon
Build a big cocoon
Thanks to the ugly bug ball

Come on let's crawl
Gotta crawl, gotta crawl
To the ugly bug ball
To the ball, to the ball
And a happy time we'll have there
One and all!
At the ugly bug ball!

Comes Love


Comes Love Composer(s): Charlie Tobias; Lew Brown; Sam H. Stept Originally performed by: Judy Canova Covered by various other artists



Come a rain storm put your rubbers on your feet Comes a snow storm you can get a little heat Comes love nothing can be done Comes a fire then you know just what to do Blow a tire You can buy another shoe Comes love nothing can be done Don’t try hidin' 'cause there isn’t any use You’ll start slidin' when your heart turns on the juice Comes a headache you can lose it in a day Comes a toothache see the dentist right away Comes love nothing can be done! Comes a heat wave you can hurry to the shore Comes a summons you can hide behind the door Comes love Nothing can be done Comes the measles you can quarantine the room Comes a mousie you can chase it with a broom Comes love nothing can be done That’s all brother If you’ve ever been in love That’s all brother, you know what I’m speaking of! Comes a nightmare you can always stay awake Comes depression you may get another break Comes love nothing can be done!

The U.S.A. And You


The U.S.A. And You
Composer(s): Leo Robin - Ralph Rainger



The life I live
I would gladly give
For the U.S.A. and you
But I'd be sore
If a doggone war
Ever came between us two
I hope I stay in the U.S.A.
But if there comes a day
When I must go away
I'll still be true
To the U.S.A. and you

Comes And Goes


Comes And Goes
Composer(s): Dan Fogelberg
Performer(s): Dan Fogelberg



The woman's like the night
She comes and goes
She breaks my heart each day
And never knows
And the time I spend in sorrow
Will match the time I live
And the time that's left is
All I have to give

The woman's like an ivy on a pole
She wraps her twisted love around my soul
There will come a sudden winter
When she'll seek the warmth of day
And there'll come a time when she will come to stay

The woman's like the tide
She comes and goes
She knows the things that I can just suppose
And the time I spend in sorrow
Will match the time that she laughs
And the songs I sing cannot explain but half

Ey

Rock it up, Bob, to the top

Er war ein Punker und er lebte in der großen Stadt
Es war in Wien, war Vienna, wo er alles tat
Er hatte Schulden, denn er trank, doch ihn liebten alle Frauen
Und jede rief: Welcome and rock me Amadeus

Er war Superstar, er war populär
Er war so exaltiert, because er hatte Flair
Er war ein Virtuose, war ein Rockidol
Und alles rief: Welcome and rock me Amadeus

Amadeus, Amadeus

Es war um 1780 und es war in Wien
No plastic money anymore, die Banken gegen ihn
Woher die Schulden kamen, war wohl jedermann bekannt
Er war ein Mann der Frauen, Frauen liebten seinen Punk

Er war Superstar, er war so populär
Er war zu exaltiert, genau das war sein Flair
Er war ein Virtuose, war ein Rockidol
Und alles sucht noch heute: Come on, rock me Amadeus

Amadeus, Amadeus

Ce He Mise Le Ulaingt? (The Two Trees)


Ce He Mise Le Ulaingt? (The Two Trees)
Composer(s): William Butler Yeats - Loreena McKennitt
Performer(s): Loreena McKennitt



Beloved, gaze in thine own heart
The holy tree is growing there
From joy the holy branches start
And al the trembling flowers they bear
The changing colours of its fruit
Have dowered the stars with merry light
The surety of its hidden root
Has planted quiet in the night
The shaking of its leafy head
Has given the waves their melody
And made my lips and music wed
Murmuring a wizard song for thee

There the Loves a circle go
The flaming circle of our days
Gyring, spiring to and fro
In those great ignorant leafy ways
Remembering all that shaken hair
And how the winged sandals dart
Thine eyes grow full of tender care
Beloved, gaze in thine own heart

Gaze no more in the bitter glass
The demons, with their subtle guile
Lift up before us when they pass
Or only gaze a little while
For there a fatal image grows
That the stormy night receives
Roots half hidden under snows
Broken boughs and blackened leaves
For all things turn to barenness
In the dim glass the demons hold
The glass of outer weariness
Made when God slept in times of old
There, through the broken branches, go
The ravens of unresting thought
Flying, crying, to and fro
Cruel claw and hungry throat
Or else they stand and stiff the wind
And shake their ragged wings: alas!
Thy tender eyes grow all unkind
Gaze no more in the bitter glass

Beloved, gaze in thine own heart
The holy tree is growing there
From joy the holy branches start
And all the trembling flowers they bear
Remembering all that shaken hair
And how the winged sandals dart
Thine eyes grow full of tender care
Beloved, gaze in thine own heart

Comes A-Long A-Love
Composer(s): Al Sherman
Performer(s): Kay Starr; Harold Mooney



Comes along a love suddenly
Brother are you happy and excited
Comes along a love suddenly
Everywhere you go you feel invited
Comes along a love suddenly
Every dream you have becomes ignited
You just begin to live
Comes along love

Comes along a love suddenly
Though you never sang you're always singing
Comes along a love suddenly
Chimes you never heard begin a-ringing
Comes along a love suddenly
Night and day you're heart is highland flinging
You live and you love
Comes along love

I don't care how
Blue you're feeling now
You sparkle and you bubble
See each bluebird double

Comes along a love suddenly
Petty little things no longer phase you
Comes along a love suddenly
Everyone around you seems to praise you
Comes along a love suddenly
You discover things that just amaze you
You just begin to live
Comes along love

I don't care how
Blue you're feeling now
You sparkle yes you bubble
Look out you gotta whole lotta trouble

Comes along a love suddenly
Petty little things no longer phase you
Comes along a love suddenly
Everyone around you seems to praise you
Comes along a love suddenly
You discover things that just amaze you
You just begin to live
And really love
The day you live
Oh well you sparkle
You bubble
Well you're in trouble
Coz mister
You're really in love

Rock Me A Little While


Rock Me A Little While
Composer(s): Lamont Dozier; Brian Holland; Eddie Holland
Performer(s): Johnny Rivers



I know you're leavin'
Leavin' me behind
I'm seein' you darlin'
For the very last time
Show a little tenderness
Mama, before you go
Please let me feel
Your embrace once more
Take me in your arms
Rock me, rock me a little while
Oh, with you darlin'
Rock me, rock me a little while

We almost feel heartache sometime
Right now, right now
I'm feelin' mine

I tried my best to be strong
But I'm not able
I'm like a helpless child
Left in a cradle
Before you leave me mama

Leave me far behind
Please let me feel
Happy one more time

Take me in your arms
Rock me, rock me a little while
Oh, with you darlin'
Rock me, rock me a little while

I'm losin' you
And my happiness
My life is so dark
I must confess

I'll never, never see
your smilin' face no
more
I'll never, never
hear your knock upon
my door
Before you leave me
Leave me behind
Please let me feel
Happy one more time

Take me in your arms
Rock me, rock me a little while
Oh, with you darlin'

The Two Conneeleys


The Two Conneeleys
Composer(s): Christy Moore - W. Page
Performer(s): Christy Moore



Hear the Atlantic seethe and swell
And hear the lonely chapel bell
God save their souls and mind them well
Tomas and Sean Conneeley

Yesterday at half past four
They pushed their currach from the shore
One took the net while one took the oar
The two fisherman Conneeley

From Conor's fort and from Synge's chair
Towards Inis Mor and Inis Iarr
They scout the sea in silent prayer
As they go searching for their neighbours

Dia diob a beiir iascairi brea
nac mbeid ar ais ar barr an tra
Go mbeid sib sona sasta ar neam
Tomas agus Sean o' Congaile

Draw the seaweed up the hill
And sow potatoes in the drill
Try to understand God's will
And the loss of the two Conneeleys

Hear the Atlantic seethe and swell
And hear the lonely chapel bell
God save their souls and mind them well
Tomas and Sean Conneeley

Comenzar De Nuevo


Comenzar De Nuevo ((English Version: The Island (Ivan Lins)) Composer(s): Ivan Lins - Victor Martins - J.M. Gallardo - Chiquita Performer(s): Miguel Gallardo



Comenzar de nuevo, y no estar contigo
va, vale la pena, haber amanecido
haberme rebelado, haberme defendido
haberme desangrado, y haber sobrevivido
haber roto el silencio, haberme desprendido
haber girado el rumbo, haberme socorrido
Comenzar de nuevo, y no estar contigo
va, vale la pena, haber amanecido
sin sentir tus garras, siempre tan seguras
sin ver tu fantasma, sin ser tu moldura
sin tus emboscadas, sin que me fascines
sin encrucijadas, sin que me domines
Comenzar de nuevo, y no estar contigo
va, vale la pena, haber amanecido
verte en la distancia, lejos de mi vida
ver que la esperanza, llenará mi herida
sin sentir tus garras, sin que me fascines
sin ver tu fantasma, sin que me domines
Comenzar de nuevo, y no estar contigo
va, vale la pena, dejarte en el olvido
Comenzar de nuevo

Rock Me


Rock Me
Composer(s): John Kay
Performer(s): Steppenwolf



She asked me maybe
I would share her sorrow
About the men that tried to treat her wrong

Though just a baby
A waiting her tomorrow
It's rock me baby, rock me baby
All night long

She needs an answer to her confusion
someone to guide her with tenderness
But if she's asking for a solution
All that she gets
You know it's something like this

Don't know where we come from
Don't know where we're going to
But if all of this should have a reason
We would be the last to know

So let's just hope there is a promised land
Hang on till then as best you can
Everybody's ills you know it

Fills her with compassion
That's why she tries
To save the world alone

She helps the needy in her own fashion
And tries to give them all her own
Rock me baby, rock me baby
All night long

Come, Ye Thankful People, Come


Come, Ye Thankful People, Come
Performer(s): Tennessee Ernie Ford



Come, ye thankful people, come, raise the song of harvest home
All is safely gathered in, ere the winter storms begin
God our Maker doth provide for our wants to be supplied
Come to God's own temple, come, raise the song of harvest home

All the world is God's own field, fruit unto His praise to yield
Wheat and tares together sown unto joy or sorrow grown
First the blade and then the ear, then the full corn shall appear
Lord of harvest, grant that we wholesome grain and pure may be

For the Lord our God shall come, and shall take His harvest home
From His field shall in that day all offenses purge away
Giving angels charge at last in the fire the tares to cast
But the fruitful ears to store in His garner evermore

Even so, Lord, quickly come, bring Thy final harvest home
Gather Thou Thy people in, free from sorrow, free from sin
There, forever purified, in Thy garner to abide
Come, with all Thine angels come, raise the glorious harvest home
