Company Man
Company Man
Composer(s): James Taylor
Performer(s): James Taylor
It seems you've been living on your own
Lonely and free
Looking to make yourself known
Same as me
Well I see you in the public eyes
I see you're looking fine
The boy would be a businessman
And he signs the bottom line
Singing company man, do what you can with my name
Rock'n'roll, man here I am
I'm stacking my claim to fame
He's got the smiling face of a friend
Still you're not quite certain you know him
The smile turns into a grin
What do you owe him
You know you owe him
So if there's something you do well
Something you're proud of
Better to save some for yourself
If that's allowed
The crowd will never know you
You'll hardly know yourself
They'll turn you 'round and blow you up
'Til you think you're someone else
Singing company man, do what you can with my name
Rock'n'roll, man here I am
I'm stacking my claim to fame
He can turn your time to gold
You better make as much as you can my friend
'Cause his money will turn you old
And they need a young man
The job takes a young man

Rosa Dos Ventos
Rosa Dos Ventos
Composer(s): Chico Buarque
Performer(s): Chico Buarque;
Maria Bethânia; Paulinho Nogueira
E do amor gritou-se o escândalo
Do medo criou-se o trágico
No rosto pintou-se o pálido
E não rolou uma lágrima
Nem uma lástima
Pra socorrer
E na gente deu o hábito
De caminhar pelas trevas
De murmurar entre as pregas
De tirar leite das pedras
De ver o tempo correr
Mas, sob o sono dos séculos
Amanheceu o espetáculo
Como uma chuva de pétalas
Como se o céu vendo as penas
Moresse de pena
E chovesse o perdão
E a prudência dos sábios
Nem ousou conter nos lábios
O sorriso e a paixão
Pois transbordando de flores
A calma dos lagos zangou-se
A rosa-dos-ventos danou-se
O leito dos rios fartou-se
E inundou de água-doce
A amargura do mar
Numa enchente amazônica
Numa explosão atlântica
E a multidão vendo em pânico
E a multidão vendo atônita
Ainda que tarde
O seu despertar

Aujourd'hui ton bateau revient
Trois ans, ce n'est pas rien
Es-tu fier de toi, Mr John B?
Mais qui cherches-tu sur le quai là-bas
On n'attend pas
Un garçon comme toi
Pour toi pas de carillonneurs
Pas de colliers de fleurs
Ici ce n'est pas Tahiti, hé, Mr John B
Mais qui cherches-tu sur le quai là-bas
On n'attend pas
Un garçon comme toi
Ton sac a l'air lourd à porter
Tu t'es bien débrouillé
Mais as-tu gardé les mains propres, dis, Mr John B?
Mais qui cherches-tu sur le quai là-bas
On n'attend pas
Un garçon comme toi
La rose de vents
(Tu l'as effleurée)
L'alcool a coulé
(L'argent a passé)
Tu dis "je t'aime" dans toutes les langues, Mr John B
Mais qui cherches-tu sur le quai là-bas
On n'attend pas
Un garçon comme toi
Aujourd'hui ton bateau revient
Alors tu te souviens
Qu'une fille t'attendait ici, Mr John B
Pourtant sur le quai
Regarde elle est là
Un garçon comme toi ne la mérite pas

Company
Company
Composer(s): Alfred "Snuff" Johnson - Rickie Lee Jones
Performer(s): Rickie Lee Jones
I'll remember you too clearly
But I'll survive another day
Conversations to share
When there's no one there
I'll imagine what you'd say
I'll see you in another life now, baby
I'll free you in my dreams
But when I reach across the galaxy
I will miss your company
Company
I'll be looking for company
Look and listen
Through the years
Someday you may hear me
Still crying for company
So now you're going off to live your life
You say we'll meet each other now and then
But we'll never be the same
And I know I'll never have this chance again
No, not like you
So, I'll see you in another life now baby,
I'll free you in my dreams
But when I reach across the galaxy
I will miss your company
Company
I'll be looking for company
Look and listen
Through the years
Someday you may hear me
Still crying for company

Rosa
Rosa
Composer(s): Jacques Brel
Performer(s): Jacques Brel
C'est le plus vieux tango du monde
Celui que les têtes blondes
Ânonnent comme une ronde
En apprenant leur latin
C'est le tango du collège
Qui prend les rêves au piège
Et dont il est sacrilège
De ne pas sortir malin
C'est le tango des bons pères
Qui surveillent l'œil sévère
Les Jules et les Prosper
Qui seront la France de demain
Rosa rosa rosam
Rosae rosae rosa
Rosae rosae rosas
Rosarum rosis rosis
C'est le tango des forts en thème
Boutonneux jusqu'à l'extrême
Et qui recouvrent de laine
Leur cœur qui est déjà froid
C'est le tango des forts en rien
Qui déclinent de chagrin
Et qui seront pharmaciens
Parce que papa ne l'était pas
C'est le temps où j'étais dernier
Car ce tango rosa rosae
J'inclinais à lui préférer
Déjà ma cousine Rosa
Rosa rosa rosam
Rosae rosae rosa
Rosae rosae rosas
Rosarum rosis rosis
C'est le tango des promenades
Deux par seul sous les arcades
Cernés de corbeaux et d'alcades
Qui nous protégeaient des pourquoi
C'est le tango de la pluie sur la cour
Le miroir d'une flaque sans amour
Qui m'a fait comprendre un beau jour
Que je ne serais pas Vasco de Gama
Mais c'est le tango du temps béni
Où pour un baiser trop petit
Dans la clairière d'un jeudi
A rosi cousine Rosa
Rosa rosa rosam
Rosae rosae rosa
Rosae rosae rosas
Rosarum rosis rosis
C'est le tango du temps des zéros
J'en avais tant des minces des gros
Que j'en faisais des tunnels pour Charlot
Des auréoles pour saint François
C'est le tango des récompenses
Qui vont à ceux qui ont la chance
D'apprendre dès leur enfance
Tout ce qui ne leur servira pas
Mais c'est le tango que l'on regrette
Une fois que le temps s'achète
Et que l'on s'aperçoit tout bête
Qu'il y a des épines aux Rosa
Rosa rosa rosam
Rosae rosae rosa
Rosae rosae rosas
Rosarum rosis rosis

Compañeros De Mis Horas
Compañeros De Mis Horas
Composer(s): P. Matos
Performer(s): Raphael
Soy feliz con lo que tengo
Porque tengo a mis leales
Compañeros de mis horas
Son mis fieles animales
Ese caballo ya viejo
Presumiendo de ser joven
Quiere llevarme ligero
Para que yo no lo note
Y ese perro callejero
Que se vino un día conmigo
Diciéndome en su mirada
Que él quería ser mi amigo
Y esa paloma que juega
Repitiéndome en su vuelo
Que mire más hacia arriba
Y mire menos al suelo
Y esos gorriones que cantan
Por la mañana temprano
A saltitos me saludan
Acercándose a mi mano
Y ese toro ya caduco
Que perdonaron por casta
Tuvo sus días de triunfo
Y hoy conmigo ya le basta
Y tengo con mis amigos
Las horas llenas de calma
Cuando más cerca los tengo
Más libre me siento el alma

Rope Ladder To The Moon
Rope Ladder To The Moon
Composer(s): Jack Bruce; Pete Brown
Performer(s): Jack Bruce;
and various other artists
You asked me to a party
to a house just by the moon
You gave me silver loving
the end was all too soon
You asked me to the theatre
in a place quite near the sun
You gave me golden sunbeams
your act was all in fun
Rope ladder to the moon!
You asked me to a meeting
in a cottage in the snow
You gave me central heating
I can't forget the glow
You asked me to a weekend
down by the stormy sea
You took me to a ceremony
and the sacrifice - was me!
You asked me to a stormcloud
up near the rainbow's end
Then you threw away the ladder
and gave me to your friend
You took me to a prison
and you said it's chief was me
Then you locked me deep inside you
and threw away the key
Rope ladder to the moon

The Wreck Of The Antoinette
The Wreck Of The Antoinette
Composer(s): Alan Blaikley - Ken Howard
Performer(s): Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Tich
Full fathom five, on the seabed she lies - the Antoinette!
I sailed with the dawn and the wind blew free
'Cross the bright shining sea
And it filled the sails of my Antoinette
Goodbye home and the one I love
Put my faith in the sky and the stars above
'Cos there's nothing in this world I wouldn't bet
On my Antoinette
She carries your name and for you I'll try
To be strong or I'll die
And I'll find my grave in the rolling waves
Ride on baby don't you let me down
Ocean's big and you don't wanna see me drown
But a bitter rain begins to beat the deck
Of the Antoinette
See the rain come lashing
There's a sudden flash of lightning on the foam
(Hold on Antoinette!)
The ocean pounds in fury
On a man who fights against it all alone
(Keep on Antoinette!)
She goes down with a sigh
And with her hear that cry
Antoinette! Antoinette!
Dawn breaks on the sea and the long dark night
Now gives way to the light and no trace remains
Of the Antoinette
Deep she lies on the ocean floor
Far away from the girl who still waits by the shore
Does she know her love is buried in the wreck
Of the Antoinette
Deep she lies, deep she lies
Antoinette! Antoinette!

Compañera
Compañera
Composer(s): Silvio Rodríguez
Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez
La canción es la amiga
que me arropa
y después me desabriga
la más clara y obscura
la más verde y madura
la más íntima
la más indiscreta
La canción me da todo
aunqe no me respeta
se me entrega feliz
cuando me viola
La canción es la ola
que me eleva y me hunde
que me fragua
lo mismo que me funde
La canción compañera
virginal y ramera, la canción
Comenzamos un día
por los tiempos
de siempre y todavía
comenzamos felices
a juntar cicatrices
como buenas señales de los años
y, peldaño a peldaño
levantamos paisaje
sin excusa, sin ruego
y sin ultraje
¿Quién se atreve a decirme
que debo arrepentirme de la esperma quemante
que me trajo?
Porque sangra de abajo
yo no vendo ni rajo mi pasión
Entre drama y comedia
he llegado trovando
a la edad media
torpe, pero sincero
aún no soy caballero
(y que el cielo
me libre de cordura)
No me embriaga la altura
ni me aburren los sueños
no es por moda que estallo
y que me empeño
El amor sigue en brete
y el camino a machete
más no lloro por tal
ni me amilano
si conservo mis manos
mi sudor y el humano corazón

Debbie Davies; Stringbean & The Stalkers
Well it may seem peculiar
How I think of you
If you want me darlin'
Here's what you must do

Unless I got room to move
If you want me darlin'
Take me how you can
I'll be circulating
Cuz that's the way I am
You gotta free me
Cuz I can't give my best
Unless I got room to move

The Worst That Could Happen
Composer(s): Jimmy Webb
First release by: The 5th Dimension - 1967
Covered by multiple other artists
Girl, I heard you're getting married
Heard you're getting married, this time you're really sure
And this is the end, they say you really mean it
This guy's the one that makes you feel
So safe, so sane and so secure and
Baby, if he loves you more than me
Maybe it's the best thing
Maybe it's the best thing for you
But it's the worst that could happen to me
I'll never get married
Never get married, you know that's not my scene
But a girl like you, needs to be married
I've known all along you couldn't
Live forever in between and
Baby if he loves you more than me
Maybe it's the best thing
Maybe it's the best thing for you
But it's the worst that could happen to me
And girl I don't really blame you for having a dream of your own
Hey, girl, I don't really blame you
A woman like you needs a house and a home, baby
If he really loves you more than me
Maybe it's the best thing
Maybe it's the best thing for you
But it's the worst that could happen to me

Compagnon Disparu
Compagnon Disparu
Performer(s): Enrico Macias
Compagnon disparu
Compagnon de mon âge
On était tous les deux
Les deux yeux d'un visage
Et pourtant tu pars seul les nuits
Au pays des yeux perdus
Comme vient la vie
Comme vient la mort
Tu étais venu
Simplement, comme on vient au port
Plus fort que l'amour
Plus fort que la haine
Tu étais en moi
Compagnon, comme un autre moi-même
Mais on t'a trouvé
Mort, au coin d'une rue
Une nuit d'été
Qui criait jusqu'au nuit
Par ton corps troué
Ma peine vivante
À l'éternité
Qui reste indifférente
Compagnon de ma foi
Compagnon d'espérance
Rien ne tuera en moi
Ta secrète présence
Celle est là comme un démenti
À l'ouvrage des fusils
Une part de moi
Est sur l'autre rive
Et passe avec toi
Compagnon, l'heure décisive
Quand je pense à toi
Ma douleur a tort
Car tu vis en moi
Part de la, la mort

Room Full Of Roses
Room Full Of Roses
Composer(s): Tim Spencer
Performer(s): Sammy Kaye
If I sent a rose to you
For everytime you made me blue
You'd have a room full of roses
If I sent a rose of white
For every time I cried all night
You'd have a room full of roses
And if you took the petals
And you took them all apart
You'd be tearing at the roses
Just the way you tore my heart
If someday you're feeling blue
And you could send some roses too
Well I don't want a room full of roses
I just want my arms full of you
And if you took the petals
And you took them all apart
You'd be tearing at the roses
Just the way you tore my heart
If someday you're feeling blue
And you could send some roses too
Well I don't want a room full of roses
I just want my arms full of you

The Worm
The Worm
Composer(s): Harry Hemsley
Performer(s): Harry Hemsley
One day a worm came up to me
One little worm one only
It looked at me, and seemed to say
"There's no one here with me to play
Oh dear, I feel so lonely"
It made me feel so very sad
'Cos I'm an only daughter
And though Nurse said one afternoon
"You'll have a baby sister soon"
My Dad, he's never brought her
I looked around for quite a while
To try and find another
I couldn't think just what to do
And so I cut the worm in two
And gave the worm a brother

Welllll
Once is never enough
Never is never was uh-huh
Here and now is all that counts
Here and now in large amounts uh-huh
Be beautiful but shut up
The going can be real tough uh-huh
You can keep your fancy bars
Clubby friends and fast cars uh-huh
And when the going gets hard
You can eat your credit cards uh-huh
I really tried to fight it
But what the hell I like it uh-huh
Well..Ohhh...Yeah
There is always room at the top
Don't let them tell you there is not
Made in England born and bred
An eighteenth century brain
In a twenty first century head
If some of this fits some of you
Or like the things that you might do uh-huh
Well, it's the pleasure and the pain
That makes us do it all again uh-huh
They say
Be beautiful and shut up
The going can be real tough
Well..Ohhh...Yeah
There is always room at the top
Don't let them tell you there is not

Covered by multiple other artists
Versions In Other Languages:

Over and over I keep going over the world we knew
Once when you walked beside me
That inconceivable, that unbelievable world we knew
When we two were in love
And every bright neon sign turned into stars
And the sun and the moon seemed to be ours
Each road that we took turned into gold
But the dream was too much for you to hold
Now over and over I keep going over the world we knew
Days when you used to love me
And every bright neon sign turned into stars
And the sun and the moon seemed to be ours
Each road that we took, it turned into gold
But the dream was too much for you to hold
Now over and over I keep going over the world we knew
Days when you used to love me
Over and over I keep going over the world we knew

Como Una Triste Canción
Como Una Triste Canción
Performer(s): Fernando Ubiergo
Como una estrella perdida
Como tiempo de reloj
Como ilusión fugitiva
Como espejismo entre dos
Como promesas de arena
Como un ligero temblor
Como la inquieta marea
Como lluvia de neón
Así han sido nuestras vidas
Siempre escapando del sol...
Como esperanzas heridas
Como una triste canción
Como una luz que vacila
Como un sueño sin timón
Como un viaje a la deriva
Como una triste canción
Como caricia escondida
Como guitarra sin voz
Como fruta prohibida
Como un silencio entre dos
Como una hoja que cae
Sin entender su misión
Como sonidos en clave
Que huyen de una canción
