Crying And Laughing
Crying And Laughing
Composer(s): Chris de Burgh
Performer(s): Chris de Burgh
Searchlights, rain on the road
Waiting for the airport limousine
Your time in this foreign land
Is nearly over, I'll never forget how
Last night, after he called
You held me like you'd never let me go
But your eyes are happy now
And you are beautiful, you're ready to leave me
Homeward, back to your world
Back to the one who is there
Go now, but go in love
For it's the only way
And you'll be crying, laughing
Half a world away
You'll be crying, laughing
For the love we have
When you go away...
Long ride, holding her hand
Looking all the words we cannot speak
One mile to the boulevard
And the aeroplane that's waiting to take you
Homeward, back to your land
Back to the one who is there
Go now, but go in love
For it's the only way
And you'll be crying, laughing
Half a world away
You'll be crying, laughing
For the love we have
But you must go
Crying, laughing
Half a world away
You'll be crying, laughing
Don't forget me love
When you go away...

A stick a stone
It's the end of the road
It's the rest of the stump
It's a little alone
It's a sliver of glass
It is life, it's the sun
It is night, it is death
It's a trap, it's a gun
The oak when it blooms
A fox in the brush
The knot in the wood
The song of the thrush
The wood of the wind
A cliff, a fall
A scratch, a lump
It is nothing at all
It's the wind blowing free
It's the end of a slope
It's a beam, it's a void
It's a hunch, it's a hope
And the riverbank talks
Of the water of March
It's the end of the strain
It's the joy in your heart
The foot, the ground
The flesh, the bone
The beat of the road
A slingshot stone
A fish, a flash
A silvery glow
A fight, a bet
The range of the bow
The bed of the well
The end of the line
The dismay in the face
It's a loss, it's a find
A spear, a spike
A point, a nail
A drip, a drop
The end of the tale
A truckload of bricks
In the soft morning light
The shot of a gun
In the dead of the night
A mile, a must
A thrust, a bump
It's a girl, it's a rhyme
It's the cold, it's the mumps
The plan of the house
The body in bed
The car that got stuck
It's the mud, it's the mud

Landlord, fill the flowing bowl until it doth run over
Landlord, fill the flowing bowl until it doth run over
For tonight we merr-I be

Here's to the man who drinks dark ale and goes to bed quite mellow!
Here's to the man who drinks dark ale and goes to bed quite mellow!
He lives as he ought to live

He'll die a jolly good fellow! (Ha! Ha! Ha!)
Here's to the man who drinks water pure and goes to bed quite sober

He falls as the leaves do fall

He'll die before October! (Ho! Ho! Ho!)
Here's to the maid who steals a kiss and runs to tell her mother
Here's to the maid who steals a kiss and runs to tell her mother
She's a foolish, foolish thing
She's a foolish, foolish thing
She's a foolish, foolish thing
For she'll not get another (Pity!)
Here's to the maid who steals a kiss and stays to steal another
Here's to the maid who steals a kiss and stays to steal another
She's a boon to all man kind
She's a boon to all man kind
She's a boon to all man kind
For soon she'll be a mother!

First release by: Roy Orbison - 1961
Covered by multiple other artists
I was all right for a while
I could smile for a while
But I saw you last night
You held my hand so tight
As you stopped to say hello
Oh you wished me well, you couldn't tell
That I'd been...
Crying over you
Crying over you
Then you said so long
Left me standing all alone
Alone and crying, crying, crying, crying
It's hard to understand
But the touch of your hand
Can start me crying
I thought that I was over you
But it's true, so true
I love you even more
Than I did before
But darling, what can I do
Now you don't love me
And I'll always be
Crying over you
Crying over you
Yes, now you're gone
And from this moment on
I'll be crying, crying, crying, crying
I'm crying, crying
Oooover you

(I Ain't Hep To That Step But I'll) Dig It
(I Ain't Hep To That Step But I'll) Dig It
From the film "Second Chorus"
Composer(s): Hal Bourne; Johnny Mercer
Performer(s): Fred Astaire; Doris Day
(Dig it, dig it, dig that Doris
on the vocal chorus)
I never could do the Conga
Could never get through the Conga
But if you say "do the Conga"
I ain't hep to that step, but I'll dig it
I never could see Mazurka
They're poison to me, Mazurkas
But if it's to be Mazurka
I ain't hep to that step, but I'll dig it
When they invented the Charleston
I was a total flop
But, say, if you want a Charleston
I'll never stop, I'll dance till I drop
I never could dig the Polka
The corniest jig, the Polka
But if you say dig the Polka
I ain't hep to that step, but I'll dig it
(Orchestral Interlude)
I ain't hep, but I'll dig it

All you girls think the days are gone
You don't have to worry, you can have your fun

If the little kids' happy then the old folk's mad

Composer(s): Joe Melson; Roy Orbison; Thania Sánz
Performer(s): Rebekah Del Rio - 2001
Yo estaba bien por un tiempo
volviendo a sonreír
Luego anoche te vi
tu mano me tocó
y el saludo de tu voz
Y hablé muy bien
y tú sin saber
que he estado
llorando por tu amor
llorando por tu amor
Luego de tu adiós
sentí todo mi dolor
Sola y llorando, llorando, llorando
No es fácil de entender
que al verte otra vez
yo esté llorando
Yo que pensé que te olvidé
pero es verdad, es la verdad
que te quiero aun más
mucho más que ayer
Dime tú que puedo hacer
¿No me quieres ya?
Y siempre estaré
llorando por tu amor
llorando por tu amor
Tu amor se llevó
todo mi corazón
Y quedo llorando, llorando, llorando, llorando
por tu amor

Je L'Aime
Je L'Aime
English Title: Girl
Composer(s): John Lennon; Paul McCartney;
Hugues Aufray; Vline Buggy
Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday
Mon histoire est une histoire
Comme on en voit tous les jours
On croit pouvoir s'aimer pour la vie
Ce que l'on a cru à jour
On veut y croire pour toujours
Mais déjà on se perd dans la nuit
Je l'aime
Je l'aime
Quand je lui disais qu'un jour
Il faudrait bien se quitter
Elle semblait se détourner de moi
Pourtant elle cachait ses yeux
Dans ses cheveux pour pleurer
Je cherche encore à savoir pourquoi
Je l'aime
Je l'aime
Je ne l'oublierai jamais
Je la cherche dans les rues
Comme un fou
Je crois entendre sa voix
Et il me semble la trouver partout
Partout
Je l'aime
Je l'aime
Ne lui a-t-on pas appris
Lorsqu'elle n'était qu'une enfant
Que le temps est souvent le plus fort
Les défaites de la vie
Marquent un garçon pour longtemps
Le saura-t-elle quand je serai mort
Je l'aime
Je l'aime
Je l'aime
Je l'aime...

Three Hundred Pounds Of Hongry
Three Hundred Pounds Of Hongry
Composer(s): Donnie Fritts - Eddie Hinton
Performer(s): Donnie Fritts; Eddie Hinton; Marcia Ball
Three hundred pounds of hongry
Down to her house every Sunday
Boil them taters and butter them buns
Lickin' that grease right off they thumbs
Three hundred pounds
Tall as she round
And every pound of that body so fine
I can hardly b'lieve that it's mine
Oooo, how that three hundred pounds amaze me
When she gets down in the gravy
God almighty, what a soulful groove
When she gets down in the barbecue
Three hundred pounds
Tall as she round
And every pound of that body so fine
I can hardly b'lieve that it's mine - oh man!
Everybody ax me why
Do you love a woman twice yo' size?
Well don't you know, the bigger the better
And that three hundred pounds sho'nuf got it all together
Lovin' that lard and gettin' them grits
Lovin' her mo' the bigger she gits
Now let yourself go
You big ol' thang, don't you know
I don't care if she weighs a ton
Long as I can butter yo' buns
Three hundred pounds
Tall as she round
You big ol' thang, don't you know
That, Lord, I love you so
(Fat!)
(Pounds!)

Cryin' To Be Heard
Cryin' To Be Heard
Composer(s): Dave Mason
Performer(s): Traffic
Somebody's cryin' to be heard
And there's also someone who hears every word
Sail across the ocean with your back against the wind
Listening to nothing save the calling of a bird
And when the rain begins to fall, don't you start to curse
It may be just the tears of someone that you never heard
Reflected in the water is a face that you don't know
And isn't it surprising when you find out it's your own?
And so you try to find out whether it is friend or foe
And what it wants to know, and what it wants to know
Well, you're wrapped up in your little world and no one can get in
You sit and think of everything, then you wonder where you've been
You put the blame on someone that you've hardly ever known
And then you realize too late the blame was all your own

Je L'Aimais
Je L'Aimais
Composer(s): Michel Berger
Performer(s): France Gall
Toute seule devant la glace
Je comptais les secondes
Qui passaient comme des années
Mais que faire, quoi que je fasse
Une seule chose au monde
M'empêchait de respirer et d'exister
Je l'aimais je l'aimais
Je l'aimais je l'aimais
Je savais je savais
Que je l'aimais je l'aimais
Je l'aimais je l'aimais
Je savais que jamais
Jamais je ne pourrais
L'oublier tout à fait
Et je réalisais
Que je l'aimais je l'aimais
Je l'aimais je l'aimais
Objets inanimés, avez-vous donc une âme
Et peut-on vous oublier
J'aimais tant mon passé
Mais je me sentais femme
Et le futur me gagnait
Et je sentais
Que je l'aimais je l'aimais
Je l'aimais je l'aimais
Je savais je savais
Que je l'aimais je l'aimais
Je l'aimais je l'aimais
Je savais que jamais
Jamais je ne pourrais
L'oublier tout à fait
Et je réalisais
Que je l'aimais je l'aimais
Je l'aimais je l'aimais
Je l'aimais je l'aimais
Je l'aimais je l'aimais
Je savais je savais
Que je l'aimais je l'aimais
Je l'aimais je l'aimais
Je savais que jamais
Jamais je ne pourrais
L'oublier tout à fait
Et je réalisais
Que je l'aimais je l'aimais
Je l'aimais je l'aimais
Je l'aimais je l'aimais

Three Hours
Three Hours
Composer(s): Nick Drake
First release by: Nick Drake - 1969
Covered by multiple other artists
Three hours from sundown, Jeremy flies, hoping to keep the sun from his eyes
East from the city and down to the cave in search of a master, in search of a slave
Three hours from London, Jacomo's free, taking his woes down to the sea
In search of a lifetime to tell when he's home, in search of a story that's never been known
Three hours from speaking, everyone's flown, not wanting to be seen on their own
Three hours is needed to leave from them all, three hours to wonder and three hours to fall
Three hours from sundown, Jeremy flies, hoping to keep the sun from his eyes
East from the city and down to the cave in search of a master, in search of a slave

Composer(s): Burleigh Drummond
Performer(s): Ambrosia
Lookin' for affection
Look in my direction
Honey, don't you hesitate
You say you're such a young girl
Livin' in a rough world
Let me try and ease your pain
But someone's cryin' in the rain
Someone's cryin' out loud
Someone's callin' your name
Someone's callin' it now
It's madness
Baby Look into the madness
Girl, don't let your sadness
Keep your love away right now
How I'd like to hold you
Things I'd like to show you
Can I get to you somehow?
But someone's cryin' in the rain
Someone's cryin' out loud
Someone's callin' your name
Someone's callin' it now
It's madness
Baby, the rain it keeps on fallin'
Who in the world will stop the rain
Baby, the rain it keeps on fallin'
Who in the world will stop the rain
Lookin' for affection
Look in my direction
Honey, don't you hesitate
(Girl) You say you're such a young girl
Livin' in a rough world
Let me try and ease your pain
Someone's cryin' in the rain (Cryin' in the rain)
Someone's cryin' out loud
Someone's callin' your name (Callin' your name)
Someone's callin' it now
It's madness

Je La Connais Si Bien
Je La Connais Si Bien
Composer(s): Joe Dassin; Pierre Delanoë
Performer(s): Joe Dassin
À l'heure qu'il est
Je sais qu'elle se réveille
La tête pleine de petits soucis
Les enfants qu'on a puni la veille
Et qu'il va falloir sortir du lit
À l'heure qu'il est
Elle est devant sa glace
Elle passe la main sur son cou
Fait la grimace
Ne se plaît pas beaucoup
Je la connais si bien
Que même au bout du monde
Je peux suivre de loin
Son chemin quotidien
À l'heure qu'il est
Je sais qu'elle est plus belle
Que toutes les autres femmes de la ville
Tous les hommes se retournent sur elle
Et je suis le roi des imbéciles
De n'être pas ce soir devant l'école
Quêtant la sortie des enfants
Qui caracolent
Au-devant de leurs mamans
Je la connais si bien
Que même au bout du monde
Je peux suivre de loin
Son chemin quotidien
À l'heure qu'il est
Je sais qu'elle se demande
Comment me chasser de son souvenir
Avec ce gamin qui me ressemble
Dans chaque geste, chaque sourire
À l'heure qu'il est
Cette heure était la nôtre
Elle ne l'est plus, c'est du passé
Peut-être un autre
Saura-t-il mieux l'aimer
Je la connais si bien
Que même au bout du monde
Je peux suivre de loin
Son chemin quotidien

Three Handed Woman
Composer(s): Ben Raleigh - Irv Taylor
Performer(s): Louis Jordan
and multiple other artists
She's a three handed woman, a three handed woman
She's right-handed, and left-handed, and under-handed too
She's a three handed woman and she knows just what to do
She's a three handed woman and she ain't no good for you
With her left hand she'll caress you while her right hand
straightens your tie
Then she'll pick up the telephone call up another guy
You could take her here and take her there, but you'll find before
you are through
You think you've been takin' her, but she's been takin' you
'Cause she's a three handed woman and she knows just what to do
She's a three handed woman and she ain't no good for you
Ev'ry time you take her dancin', while her arms hold you tight
'Cross your shoulder she's makin' eyes at ev'ry man in sight
When she says goodnight, she tells you you're the one she's crazy about
But you can bet that someone else walks in when you walk out
'Cause she's a three handed woman and she knows just what to do
She's a three handed woman and she ain't no good for you

Cry, Cry Again
Cry, Cry Again
Composer(s): Dick Land - Liz Anderson
Performer(s): Tammy Wynette; Lynn Anderson
I put my little girl to bed with teardrops in her eyes
All day I've tried to comfort her and louder were her cries
I left her there to say her prayers and stepped outside the door
The prayer I heard was one I knew I'd never heard before
Please have my mommy ask my daddy to come home
Sometimes I'll cry and get my way and mommy's so alone
She told me once that when I'm right, I never should give in
So if at first I don't succeed, I'll cry cry again
I know our little girl is right and we're both in the wrong
And so I've called you up tonight to ask you please come home
I can't go on or stand for long the way she cried today
And I can't go to sleep at night because I heard her pray
Please have my mommy ask my daddy to come home
Sometimes I'll cry and get my way and mommy's so alone
She told me once that when I'm right, I never should give in
So if at first I don't succeed, I'll cry cry again

Titles In Other Languages:

Tous les jours de la semaine
Sont vides et sonnent le creux
Bien pire que la semaine
Y a le dimanche prétentieux
Qui veut paraître rose
Et jouer les généreux
Le dimanche qui s'impose
Comme un jour bienheureux
Je hais les dimanches!
Je hais les dimanches!
Dans la rue y a la foule
Des millions de passants
Cette foule qui coule
D'un air indifférent
Cette foule qui marche
Comme à un enterrement
L'enterrement d'un dimanche
Qui est mort depuis longtemps
Je hais les dimanches!
Je hais les dimanches!
Tu travailles toute la semaine et le dimanche aussi
C'est peut-être pour ça que je suis de parti-pris
Chéri, si simplement tu étais près de moi
Je serais prête à aimer tout ce que je n'aime pas
Les dimanches de printemps
Tout flanqués de soleil
Qui effacent en brillant
Les soucis de la veille
Dimanche plein de ciel bleu
Et de rires d'enfants
De promenades d'amoureux
Aux timides serments
Et de fleurs aux branches
Et de fleurs aux branches
Et parmi la cohue
Des gens, qui, sans se presser
Vont à travers les rues
Nous irions nous glisser
Tous deux, main dans la main
Sans chercher à savoir
Ce qu'il y aura demain
N'ayant pour tout espoir
Que d'autres dimanches
Que d'autres dimanches
Et tous les honnêtes gens
Que l'on dit bien-pensants
Et ceux qui ne le sont pas
Et qui veulent qu'on le croie
Et qui vont à l'église
Parce que c'est la coutume
Qui changent de chemise
Et mettent un beau costume
Ceux qui dorment vingt heures
Car rien ne les en empêche
Ceux qui se lèvent de bonne heure
Pour aller à la pêche
Ceux pour qui c'est le jour
D'aller au cimetière
Et ceux qui font l'amour
Parce qu'ils n'ont rien à faire
Envieraient notre bonheur
Tout comme j'envie le leur
D'avoir des dimanches
De croire aux dimanches
D'aimer les dimanches
Quand je hais les dimanches ...

Are coming up in a beat up car
Spitting up a lift of candy bar
Talking on about how sharp they are

Three cool chicks
Are walking down the street
Swinging their hips
Splitting up a bag of potato chips
I think cool cats really did flip
Three cool chicks

Man, do you see what I see?"
"Well I want that middle chick"
"I want that little chick"
"Hey man save once chick for me"
Hey, well three cool chicks
