Cosmik Debris
Cosmik Debris
Composer(s): Frank Zappa
Performer(s): Frank Zappa
and multiple other artists
The Mystery Man came over
An' he said: "I'm outa-site!"
He said, for a nominal service charge
I could reach nervonna t'nite
If I was ready, willing 'n able
To pay him his regular fee
He would drop all the rest of his pressing affairs
And devote His Attention to me
But I said . . .
Look here brother
Who you jivin' with that Cosmik Debris?
(Now who you jivin' with that Cosmik Debris?)
Look here brother
Don't you waste your time on me
The Mystery Man got nervous
An' he fidget around a bit
He reached in the pocket of his Mystery Robe
An' he whipped out a shaving kit
Now, I thought it was a razor
An' a can of foamin' goo
But he told me right then when the top popped open
There was nothin' his box won't do
With the oil of Afro-dytee
An' the dust of the Grand Wazoo
He said
"You might not believe this, little fella, but it'll cure your Asthma too!"
An' I said . . .
Look here brother
Who you jivin' with that Cosmik Debris?
(Now what kind of a geroo are you anyway?)
Look here brother,
Don't you waste your time on me
Don't waste yer time . . .
I've got troubles of my own, I said
An' you can't help me out
So take your meditations an' your preparations
An' ram it up yer snout
"But I Got A Kristl Bol!," he said
An' held it to the light
So I snatched it
All away from him
An' I showed him how to do it right
I wrapped a newspaper 'round my head
So I'd look like I was Deep
I said some Mumbo Jumbos then
An' told him he was goin' to sleep
I robbed his rings
An' pocket watch
An' everything else I found
I had that sucker hypnotized
He couldn't even make a sound
I proceeded to tell him his future then
As long as he was hanging around
I said
"The price of meat has just gone up
An' yer ol' lady has just gone down . . . "
Look here brother
Who you jivin' with that Cosmik Debris?
(Now is that a real poncho or is that a Sears poncho?)
Don't you know
You could make more money as a butcher
So don't you waste your time on me
(Don't waste it, don't waste your time on me . . . )

Little ditty about Jack and Diane
Two American kids growin up in the heartland
Jacky's gonna be a football star

Let me do what I please.
And Jacky Say
Oh yeah life goes on
Long after the thrill of livin is gone
Oh yeay say life goes on
Long after the thrill of livin is gone, they walk on

Scratches his head and does his best james dean.
Well you know diane, we oughtta run of the city
Diane says Baby, you aint missin' no-thing

There's Only Alice
There's Only Alice
Composer(s): Tom Waits - Kathleen Brennan
Performer(s): Tom Waits
It's dreamy weather
whe're on you waved your crooked wand
Along an icy pond
with a frozen moon
Murder of silhouette crows
I saw in the tears on my face
and the skates on the pond
they spelled Alice
I disappear in your name
but you must wait for me
Somewhere beneath the sea
there's a wreck of a ship
Your hair is like meadowgrass on the tide
and the raindrops on my window
and the ice in my drink
Baby all I can think of is Alice
Arithme-tic arithme-tock
turn the hands back on the clock
How does the ocean rock the boat?
How did the razor find my throat?
The only strings that hold me here
are tangled up around the pier
And so secret kiss
brings madness with the bliss
And I will think of this
when I'm dead in my grave
Set me adrift and I'm lost in your hair
and I must be insane
to go skating on your name
and by tracing it twice
I fell though the ice of Alice
There's only Alice

Cosmic Wheels
Cosmic Wheels
Composer(s): Donovan Leitch
Performer(s): Donovan; Dog Age
God is playing marbles
With his planets and his stars
Creating havoc through my life
Through his influence on Mars
I am stumbling down the highway
On my boots of steel
I should be rolling down the skyway
On my cosmic wheels
In the present position of the planets
It's impossible for me to say
Just when I'll find my course again
With these boulders in my way
I should be rolling down the skyway
On my cosmic wheels
Instead of stumbling down this highway
On my boots of steel

Jacinto Piedra
Jacinto Piedra (Chacarera)
Performer(s): Horacio Guarany
¡Canta mi chacarera!
la primavera llorando está
Nunca, yo se qué nunca
su voz de pájaro se callará
Porque esa voz no muere...
¡Nunca morirá! Vivirá en el rescoldo de la eternidad...
¡Canta mi chacarera! la primavera llorando está
¡Canta! Jacinto Piedra
todo Santiago llora por vos
¡Canta! Porque en tu canto
cantamos todos tu triste adiós...
No quise verlo muerto...
¡Nunca morirá! El seguirá cantando como el cardenal
¡Canta mi chacarera! ¡Jacinto Piedra no morirá!
Vivirá con su pueblo que no lo olvidó
Y en esta chacarera le dejo mi adiós...
Lo bauticé Jacinto
porque era una flor
Piedra, porque era un viento...
¡Duro p' al dolor!

There's Nobody Home On The Range Anymore
There's Nobody Home On The Range Anymore
Performer(s): Chris LeDoux
The old man used to dream of the fortunes he'd seek
now he lives in a room where you pay by the week
His hands are all battered, his pony's gone lame
and his bones always ache when the sky looks like rain
There's nobody home on the range anymore
they closed down the bunk-house and padlocked the door
Now there' s oil-wells and motels and folks by the score
but there's nobody home on the range anymore
Now the eagle stopped flying, the nightwind is still
and the last cow' s howling on some lonely hill
The old man is longing to take it all down
in his final box outside of town
There's nobody home on the range anymore
they closed down the bunk-house and padlocked the door
Now there' s oil-wells and motels and folks by the score
but there's nobody home on the range anymore
Because he knows his last mountai is two flights of stairs
and his saddle turned into an old rocking chair
Mornings he wakews up and wander what for
'cause there' s nobody home on the range anymore
There's nobody home on the range anymore
they closed down the bunk-house and padlocked the door
Now there' s oil-wells and motels and folks by the score
but there's nobody home on the range anymore

Cosmic Cowboy
Cosmic Cowboy
Composer(s): Michael Martin Murphy
Performer(s): Michael Martin Murphy
Merry-go-rounds and burial grounds
Are all the same to me
Horses on post and kids and ghosts
Are spirits that we ought to set free
Then city slicker pickers got a lot of
Slicker licks than me
But ridin' the range and acting strange
Is where I want to be
And I just wanna be a cosmic cowboy
I just wanna ride and rope and hoot (hoot!)
Well I just wanna be a cosmic cowboy
A supernatural country rockin' galoot
Well skinny dippin' and Lone Star sippin' and steel guitar
And are just as good as Hollywood and some boogie-woogie bars
I'm gonna buy me a vest and a head out west
My little woman and myself
And when we come to town the people gather around
And marvel at the little baby's health
And I just wanna be a cosmic cowboy
I just wanna ride and rope and hoot (hoot!)
Well I just wanna be a cosmic cowboy
A supernatural country rockin' galoot
A big raccoon and a harvest moon
Keep rolling through my mind
And a home on the range where the antelope play
Is sometimes hard to find
So don't bury me on the lone prairie
I'd rather play there alive
Well, I'm doing my best I keep my farm in the west
My little bronco in over-drive
And I just wanna be a cosmic cowboy
I just wanna ride and rope and hoot (hoot!)
Well I just wanna be a cosmic cowboy
A supernatural country rockin' galoot
And up is not the way I wanna shoot

Jabberwocky
Jabberwocky
Composer(s): Lewis Carroll
Performer(s): Donovan;
Radhika Miller; Kenneth Williams
'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe
All mimsy were the borogoves
And the mome raths outgrabe
"Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!"
He took his vorpal sword in hand
Long time the manxome foe he sought!
So rested he by the Tumtum tree
And stood awhile in thought
And, as in uffish thought he stood
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood
And burbled as it came!
One two! One two!
And through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back
"And hast thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!"
He chortled in his joy
'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe
All mimsy were the borogoves
And the mome raths outgrabe

No Way Out of Here
No Way Out of Here
Composer(s): Ken Baker
First release by: Unicorn - 1976
There's no way out of here, when you come in you're in for good
There was no promise made, the part you've played, the chance you took
There are no boundaries set, the time and yet you waste it still
So it slips through your hands like grains of sand, you watch it go
There's no time to be lost, you'll pay the cost so get it right
There's no way out of here, when you come in you're in for good
And never was there an answer, there an answer
Not without listening, without seeing
There are no answers here, when you look out you don't see in
There was no promise made, the part you've played, the chance you took
There's no way out of here, when you come in you're in for good

Cositas
Cositas
Performer(s): Fernando Ubiergo
Si usted viene p´acá
para poder hablar
para decirle que yo tengo
tanto miedo de perderla
o de perder...
Sabe que no puedo más
con el teléfono callado
sin hablar, para escuchar
el silencio del otro lado
Si usted viene p´acá
le haré yo un recital
solo, en mi pieza
de soltero
Y el público será
un cenicero, dos cigarrillos
y una ampolleta que pagada
nos alumbrará
Sabe que no puedo más
con el teléfono callado
sin hablar, para escuchar
el silencio del otro lado...

Ridin' Down The Canyon
Ridin' Down The Canyon
Composer(s): Gene Autry; Smiley Burnette
Performer(s): The Sons Of The Pioneers;
and various other artists
When evening chores are over
at our ranch house on the plain
And all I've got to do is lay around
I saddle up my pony and go ridin' down the trail
To watch the evenin' sun go down
Ridin' down the canyon to watch the sun go down
A picture that no artist 'ere could paint
White-faced cattle lowing, on the mountainside
I hear a coyote calling for its mate
Cactus plants are bloomin', sagebrush everywhere
Granite spires are standin' all around
I'll tell you folks it's heaven to be ridin' down the trail
When the evenin' sun goes down
Cactus plants are bloomin' sagebrush everywhere
Granite spires are standin' all around
I'll tell you folks it's heaven to be ridin' down the trail
When the evenin' sun goes down
To watch the evenin' sun go down

There's No Stopping Your Heart
There's No Stopping Your Heart
Composer(s): Michael Bonagura Jr. - Craig Karp
Performer(s): Marie Osmond; Donny Osmond
Woke up this morning with you by my side
Thought I was dreamin' with my eyes wide open
I had to touch you and feel you near
Are you really here?
I plan to be the one who sticks around
Ooh your love could lift me up above the clouds
I get so high when I'm with you
I may never come down
When forever starts
There's no stopping, no stopping, no stopping your heart
Like a river it just keeps on rolling
'Till it fills you up to overflow and
There's no stopping, no stopping, no stopping your heart
When you touch me it's like paradise
Tropical islands and soft moonlight all night
It's almost like fallin' in love
For the very first time
When forever starts
There's no stopping, no stopping, no stopping your heart
Like a river it just keeps on rollin'
'Till it fills you up to overflow and
There's no stopping, no stopping, no stopping your heart
When you really found it
There's no doubt about it
There's no stopping, no stopping, no stopping your heart
Like a river it just keeps on rollin'
'Till it fills you up to overflow and
There's no stopping, no stopping, no stopping your heart
Whoaoaoa
Like a river it just keeps on rollin'
'Till it fills you up to overflow and
There's no stopping no stopping no stopping your heart

Quando il sole
sorge su dal mar

Nel silenzio
sento il tuo respiro
confuso con il mio
e credo di sognare
così ti amo
così ti amo
Io vivrò qui con te
io vivrò qui con te
Ed ogni giorno
grideremo al mare
come ci amiamo
C'è la pace
che volevi tu
nessuno tra di noi
ed io mi sento ricco
e tu sei bella
come nessuna
Ed il tuo viso
che ho davanti a me
mi parla e mi sorride
e splende con il sole
così ti amo
così ti amo
Io vivrò qui con te
io vivrò qui con te
Ed ogni giorno
grideremo al mare
come ci amiamo

Ooh-ooo-ooo-oooh!

Mama, Mama, Mama
There's dancing in the street
Elana and Deborah
Have wings upon their feet
The town is filled with laughter
And all the people shout
Oh, Ma, Ma, Ma, Ma, Mama
We must hurry out
Oh where, where's a ribbon
To tie around my hair?
Mama!
They gather in the marketplace
From every distant land
Each dancer of the Hora knows
That love's a common band
And there is one among them
So winsome and so fair
Oh Ma, Ma, Ma, Ma, Mama
We must hurry there
I fear a pretty maiden
Will steal his heart away
Mama!

Ooh-ooo-ooo-oooh!
Mama!
There's danger in his flashing eyes
His laugh is wild and free (Hey!)
He's stronger than a dozen men
He's taller than a tree (Hey!)
And when I look into his eyes
I know he'll understand
Oh Ma, Ma, Ma, Ma, Mama
May I hold his hand?
And if he wants to marry me
And if you should agree
Oh, Mama, Mama, Mama
How happy I would be!
(Rutza, rutza, rutza, rutza)
Hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry
(Rutza, rutza, rutza, rutza
Hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry
Ooh-ooo-ooo-oooh!

There's No Stopping Us Now
There's No Stopping Us Now
Composer(s): Brian Holland - Eddie Holland - Lamont Dozier
Performer(s): Diana Ross & The Supremes
There's no stopping us now
Now that we found our way
There's no stopping us now
Our love is here to stay
Foolishly we've been apart
Breaking each other's heart
Stubbornness and foolish pride
Caused us to push love aside
The loneliness from being apart
Opened up our eyes
To the love that was always there
Deep inside
Now that we've faced the unknown
And we can't make it alone
We're closer together more now then ever
For now that we've found love
We've got to hold on love
There's no stopping us now
This time love's here to stay
There's no stopping us now
Now we have found our way
The precious hours we have lost
We'll never regain
But together we'll fill the hours that remain
The loneliness we have known
We'll push behind
Together forever
We'll make up for all lost time
Now we're in each other's arms
Nothing can do us harm
Nothing can shake us
Nothing can break us
We'll be together
Forever and ever
There's no stopping us now
This time love's here to stay
There's no stopping us now
Together we've found the way
Never again shall foolish pride keep us apart
Never again shall stubbornness break our hearts
There's no stopping us now
Now that we've found our way
Would you believe?
There's no stopping us now
Now that love's here to stay
There's no stopping us now
Now that we've...

There's an old Italian phrase
It's an old Italian craze
Every little bambina
Says it her very first day
Every sweet signorina
Says it the very same way
These funny little words
Don't really mean a thing
It's just a phrase that nowadays
Italians love to sing
Cosi cosa!
It's a wonderful word, tra-la-la-la
If anyone asks you how you are
It's proper to say
Cosi Cosa!
Cosi Cosa!
If a lady should ask you if you care
You don't have to start a love affair
Say "Cosi Cosa!"
Does it mean yes? No!
Does it mean no?
Well, yes and no

Get together and sing, tra-la-la-la
It's easy this way, so start today

Rutina (Rotina)
Composer(s): Roberto Carlos; Erasmo Carlos
Performer(s): Roberto Carlos
O sol ainda não chegou
e o relógio há pouco despertou
Da porta do quarto ainda na penumbra eu olho outra vez
Seu corpo adormecido e mal coberto quase não me deixa ir
Fecho os olhos, viro as costas, num esforço eu tenho que sair
A mesma condução, à mesma hora, os mesmos pensamentos chegam
Meu corpo está comigo mas meu pensamento ainda está com ela
Agora eu imagino suas mãos buscando em vão minha presença
Em nossa cama
Eu gostaria de saber o que ela pensa
Estou chegando para mais um dia de trabalho que começa
Enquanto lá em casa ela desperta pra rotina do seu dia
Eu quase posso ver a água morna a deslizar no corpo dela
Em gotas coloridas pela luz que vem do vidro da janela
Um jeito nos cabelos colocando seu perfume preferido
Diante do espelho aquilo tudo ela esconde num vestido
Depois de um café o olhar distante ela se perde pensativa
Acende um cigarro, e olhando a fumaça pára e pensa em mim
O dia vai passando, a tarde vem e pela noite eu espero
Vou contando as horas que me separam de tudo aquilo que mais quero
Meu rosto se ilumina num sorriso no momento de ir embora
Não posso controlar minha vontande de sair correndo agora
O trânsito me faz perder a calma e o pensamento continua
Pensando em minha volta, muitas vezes ela vem olhar a rua
A porta se abre de repente e eu me envolvo inteiro nos seus braços
E o nosso amor começa
E só termina quando nasce mais um dia
Um dia de rotina
(O sol ainda não chegou)

There’s No Room In My Heart For The Blues
Composer(s): Zeb Turner - Fred Rose
Performer(s): Hank Williams
There's no room in my heart for the blues
Love is satisfied to either win or lose
Darling if our pathway parts
Let's that be no broken hearts
There's no room in my heart for the blues
There's no room in my mem'ry for tears
We left back on and be forgotten souvenirs
If your hungry heart forgets
Let there be no sad regrets
There's no room in my heart for the blues
There's no room in my life for a sigh
We'll be strong enough to face our last goodbye
Darling when our romance ends
Let us part as best of friends
There's no room in my heart for the blues
There's no room in my heart for the blues
Love is satisfied to either win or lose
Darling if our pathway parts
Let's that be no broken hearts
There's no room in my heart for the blues
