Kiko and the lavender moon out playing
Makes believe nobody can see
And then he waits
And then he fakes
And then he bends
And then he shakes
He plays and plays
Still playing till he
Goes off to sleep
Kiko and the lavender moon
Out dancing making faces at
A big black cat and then he flies
Up to the wall
Stands on one foot
Doesn't even fall
Dance and dance
Still dancing till
He goes off to sleep
He always sleeps
'Til the sun goes down
He never wakes
Till no one's around
He never stops
Can't catch his breath
It's always there
Scares him to death
Kiko and the lavender moon
Out dreaming 'bout green shoes
Haircuts and cake
And then he wishes
The world away
And then he kneels
As if to pray
He dreams and dreams
Kiko and the lavender moon
A wise man was telling stories to me
About the places he had been to
And the things that he had seen
A quiet voice is singing something to me
An age old song about the home of the brave
In this land here of the free
One time one night in America
A lady dressed in white with the man she loved
Standing along the side of their pickup truck
A shot rang out in the night
Just when everything seemed right
Another headline written down in America
The guy that lived next door in #305
Took the kids to the park and disappeared
About half past nine
Who will ever know
How much she loved them so
That dark night alone in America
A quiet voice is singing something to me
An age old song about the home of the brave
In this land here of the free
One time one night in America
Four small boys playing ball in a parking lot
A preacher, a teacher, and the other became a cop
A car skidded into the rain
Making the last little one a saint
One more light goes out in America
A young girl tosses a coin in the wishing well
She hopes for a heaven while for her
There's just this hell
She gave away her life
To become somebody's wife
Another wish unanswered in America
People having so much faith
Die too soon while all the rest come late
We write a song that no one sings
On a cold black stone
Where a lasting peace will finally bring
The sunlight plays upon my windowpane
I wake up to a world that's still the same
My father said to be strong
And that a good man could never do wrong
In a dream I had last night in America
A wise man was telling storie to me
About the places he had been to
And the things that he had seen
A quiet voice is singing something to me
An age old song about the home of the brave
In this land here of the free
One time one night in America
Cuando te cases con el otro ire a tu boda
Cuando pregunten en seguida me opendre
Y si pregunta el jura que porque me opongo
Yo le dire que porque tu eres mi querer
Y si se enoja el que ira ser tu esposo
Saco mi cuete y me pongo a disparar
Al fin y al cabo yo no le tengo a la muerte
Y voy al bote porque soy la autoridad
Ay, Anselma, Anselma, Anselma
Chaparra de mis penares
O, dejas que te visite
O, te mando a los jendarmes
Y si te niegas a matrimoniar conmigo
Les quiteo el rancho y propiedad de tu papa
Les pongo ipuestos y hasta les quemo la casa
Porque por algo soy aqui la autoridad
Yo ordeno, y mando en todo este munisipio
Yo te lo digo por si quieres escapar
Aya en el otro el que manda es mi tio elijio
No mas le digo y te tiene que agarrar
Ay, Anselma, Anselma, Anselma
Chaparra de mis penares
O, dejas que te visite
O, te mando a los jendarmes
There's a tattoo heart
With an arrow through the middle
Of a name that looks like Joe
And a young girl's looking
At her makeup in the mirror
Puts a little gold ring on her toe
I gotta say one, two, three
More things before I go on
There's a sharp dressed man
Playing something on a fiddle
In the backyard right next door
And everybody's mother
Is cooking something in the kitchen
Got dishes stacked ceiling to floor
I gotta say one, two, three
More things before I go on
You can't run and try to hide away
Here it comes, here comes another day
A red rooster crows
A little Mexican tune
On the chain link fence by the gate
Somebody's daddy's out there
Honkin' on the horn
Hurry up, we're gonna make him late
I gotta say one, two, three
More things before I go on
You can't run and try to hide away
Here it comes, here comes another day
If you're long down that highway
No matter where you are
You're never really far
Good morning Aztlan
There's a big fat heart
With an arrow through the middle
Of this place that I call home
And when I get lost
And don't even got a nickel
There's a piece of dirt I call my own
I gotta say one, two, three
More things before I go on
You can't run and try to hide away
Here it comes, here comes another day
You can't run to try to hide away
Here it comes, here comes another day
Where you are, never really far away
Good morning Aztlan
Fifty traveling to work the fields
Toil the factories and sweat the steel
Set out to sail from Santa Rosalie
I've left you a note tacked to a tree
Adios querida
I'll return one day
Now I'm leaving on the Carlos Rey
Four cruel days under stormy skies
Not much bread to keep us alive
The wind kicked up and the rain came down
And then we all heard a terrible sound
Adios querida
Nothing more to say
I'm lost in the wreck of the Carlos Rey
I struggled against the pull of the tide
I clutched my bag with your picture inside
But my heart did break as it slipped away
Disappearing into the gray
Adios querida
I've gone to stay
Down in the wreck of the Carlos Rey
In the dark and cold I let you go
With the hunk of wood that I took hold
I sleep in a bed of salt and sand
And I dream sweet dreams of taking your hand
Adios querida
I'm gone away
El que no se arriesga nunca aprende nada
Quien no busca puerta no hallara la entrada
En amor se apuesta entregando el alma
Y como nos cuesta, cuando nos enganan
A veces resulta incuficiente la voluntad
Si de otro depende la realidad, por eso entiendo
Y explicaselo al corazon, que solo aprende
El que arriesga su razon
El que nada intenta nunca hara camino
Nuestras decisiones van creando sestino
Asi fue conmigo
Eterna amargura la que nos deja el amor que no madura
Que malo sabe el dolor
Ya se va, me deja en la soledad, sufriendo
Se va perdiendo la fe, quedas diciendo, amor pa que
Buscando el consuelo en el licor
Recordando lo que el tiempo se llevo
Sobre la ausencia
Queda el recuerdo
Y la sentencia
Del sufrimiento
Oye hermano, es que la vida es asi
Y hasta un lobo puede morir de amor
Me embarca y se aleja,me olvida y me deja
Como a sinbad el marino, en el mar de la ansiedad
Dentro de la carcel de la memoria voy repitiendo
La historia que me condena en la eternidad
Tristeza llega, me abraza y me aprieta y no se despega
Y no me deja contrar la felicidad
Ya no estas mas a mi lado corazon
That's why we wish, baby
'Cause forever is way too long
That's why we wish, baby, baby
'Cause it's here today, then it's gone
It's when a boy grows up into a man
And a seed turns into a tree
It's when two lovers kiss, forever it seems
And the blind man at last can see
That's why we wish, baby
'Cause forever is way too long
That's why we wish, baby
'Cause it's here today and then it's gone
How 'bout the girl that finds a dream come true
In the man that loves her so
Orphan cries forever it seems
Until at last he finds a home
That's why we wish, baby
'Cause forever is way too long
That's why we wish, baby, baby
'Cause it's here today and then it's gone
Once a poor poor soul found what looked like a stone
And held it up into the sun
Saw a diamond shining, forever it seemed
And his searchin', searchin' days were gone
That's why we wish, baby
'Cause forever is way too long
That's why we wish, baby, baby
'Cause it's here today and then it's gone
That's why we wish, baby
My legs are tired
My face feels hot
Wake up Dolores
Please try to walk
Oh, sacred night
Our light is dim
We have so far to go
The stones are hard
On this endless road
Oh, sacred night
On quetzal plumes
Of dying suns
And purple moons
Oh, sacred night
As an eagle soars
Our spirits fly
To our gentle rest
Under loving sky
Oh, sacred night
On quetzal plumes
Of dying suns
And purple moons
Oh, sacred night

The last time I seen viking
He was about this tall
With a tattoo
Where a smile should've been
Of his sweetheart's name
Of his sweetheart's name
Do you remember viking?
He was about you and me
With a big scar
Where his heart should've been
Inside his chest
Inside his chest
Do you, do you remember viking?
Do you remember viking?
The last time I saw viking
He was about so tall
With a tattoo
Where his heart should've been
He was about everything
He was about everything
Do you remember viking?
Do you remember viking?
Not 'bout winning or losing
Or being confident
Not for smiling, even crying
'Bout sentiment
Not 'bout richer or poorer
Or being affluent
Not 'bout sharp or even clever
Or intelligent, intelligent
Don't really matter at all
When a house of card's gonna fall
Before you try again
Turn around, turn around
Turn around, turn around
Never 'bout being wrong
Or ever right
Never a winner or a loser
Or acting outta sight, outta sight
Don't really matter at all
When a house of card's gonna fall
Before you try again
Turn around, turn around
Turn around
Before you try again
Turn around
Whether coming or going
Never know what to do
Never look for a reason
When you break the rules
Before you try again
Turn around, turn around
Turn around, turn around
Before you try again
Why do the days go by so fast
If only time was built to last
If it could learn to take it slow
Then maybe time at last would know
That if Monday, Tuesday should go away
It'll be Wednesday, Thursday then Saturday
And when Sunday comes
It's just too late, it's gotta be this time
How come the days do what they do
Maybe if time, time only knew
Could be that time don't really know
That it should try to take it slow
Then maybe Monday, Tuesday won't go away
Then maybe Thursday, Friday could be like Saturday
And when Sunday comes it's never too late
It'll be this time, it's gotta be this time, this time
How come the days do what they do
Maybe if time, time only knew
That if Monday, Tuesday should go away
It'll be Wednesday, Thursday then Saturday
And when Sunday comes it's just too late
It's gotta be this time, it's gotta be this time
That candy color clown they call the Sandman
Tip toes to my room, every night
Just to sprinkle stardust and to whisper
Go to sleep, everything will be alright
Every night I hope and pray
A dream lover will come my way
Someone to hold in my arms
And feel the magic of their charms
Because I want someone
To call my own
I wanna dream lover
So I don't have to dream alone
Dream lover, where are you?
With a love, oh, so true
And the hand that I can hold
To feel you near as I grow old
Because I want someone
To call my own
I wanna dream lover
So I don't have to dream alone
Someday, I don't know how
I hope you'll hear my plea
Someway, I don't know how
You'll bring your love to me
In dreams, in dreams
My love lies all in dreams
Dream lover, until then
I'll go to sleep and I'll dream again
That's the only thing to do
Till my lover's dreams come true
Because I want someone
To call my own
I wanna dream lover
So I don't have to dream alone
I wanna dream lover
So I don't have to dream alone
No, I wanna dream lover
So I don't have to dream alone
I wanna dream lover
Burn It Down- Los Lobos
When we were young, taking time to believe
Only to survive, what you gotta believe
Whatever we took to survive, survive in this world
In this crazy life, gotta give it a whirl
All my bridge are burning
Almost burning down
All my bridge are burning
Burning to the ground
Burning down
Burning down
Trying hard to believe
That there is something more then me
Something outside of myself
Wants me to be free
Said my bridge is falling lean
That I could not return
Gotta want to walk straight ahead
To learn what I need to learn
All my bridge are burning
Almost burning down
All my bridge are burning
Burning to the ground
Its Burning down
Burning down
Going where I belong
Hope there is time for love
Don’t care what time it is
Its just never enough
Just making music
keep my feet on the ground
Could not live without it
Help me to stick around
All my bridge are burning
Almost burning down
All my bridge are burning
Burning to the ground
Burning down
Burning down
All my bridge are burning
Almost burning down
All my bridge are burning
Burning to the ground
Burning down
Through the chill of winter
Running across the frozen lake
Hunters are out on his trail
All odds are against him
With a family to provide for
The one thing he must keep alive
Will the wolf survive
Drifting by the roadside
Climbs each storm and aging face
Wants to make some morning's fate
Losing to the range war
He's got two strong legs to guide him
Two strong arms keep him alive
Will the wolf survive
Standing in the pouring rain
All alone in a world that's changed
Running scared, now forced to hide
In a land where he once stood with pride
But he'll find his way by the morning light
Sounds across the nation
Coming from your hearts and minds
Battered drums and old guitars
Singing songs of passion
It's the truth that they all look for
The one thing they must keep alive
Will the wolf survive
Will the wolf survive
Looking out my window
I see my world has changed
The sun won't rise this mornin'
'Cause baby's gone away
Yesterday I could tell myself
That she'd be back for sure
But that train don't stop here
anymore
She used to go out with the girls
Every now and then
She always came home early
We'd jump in bed by ten
She'd tell me that she loved me
She would forevermore
But that train don't stop here
anymore
Nothin' changes faster than baby's
fickle mind
I know she' lovin' someone
Somewhere down the line
I know that she still has a key
I'm waiting by the door
But that train don't stop here
anymore
She ran out through the back door
Screamin' in the night
She said I was the devil
I didn't treat her right
The man down at the station
Said "That was her for sure"
Now that train don't stop here
anymore
Mustang Sally, think you better slow your mustang down.
Mustang Sally, think you better slow your mustang down.
You been running all over the town now.
Oh! I guess I'll have to put your flat feet on the ground.
All you want to do is ride around Sally, ride, Sally, ride.
All you want to do is ride around Sally, ride, Sally, ride.
All you want to do is ride around Sally, ride, Sally, ride.
One of these early mornings, oh, you gonna be wiping your weeping eyes.
I bought you a brand new mustang 'bout nineteen sixty five
Now you come around signifying a woman, you don't wanna let me ride.
Mustang Sally, think you better slow your mustang down.
You been running all over the town now.
Oh! I guess I'll have to put your flat feet on the ground.
All you want to do is ride around Sally, ride, Sally, ride.
All you want to do is ride around Sally, ride, Sally, ride.
All you want to do is ride around Sally, ride, Sally, ride.
Speak softly, don't wake the baby
Come and hold me once more
Before I have to leave
Because there's a lot of work out there
Everything will be fine
And I'll send for you baby
Just a matter of time
Our life, the only thing we know
Come and tell me once more
Before you have to go
That's there's a better world out there
Though it don't feel right
Will it be like I hope
Just a matter of time
And I hope it's all it seems
Not another empty dream
There's a time for you and me
In a place living happily
And I hope it's all it seems
Not another empty dream
There's a time for you and me
In a place living happily
Walk quietly, don't make a sound
Believe in what you're doing
I know we can't be wrong
Don't worry about us here
It will be alright
And we'll be there with you
Just a matter of time
And we'll all be together
Just a matter of time
A matter of time
We'll be together
In a matter of time
You and me, a matter of time
It will be like I hoped
A matter of time
If I say yes, I'm sure you'll say no
If I say stop I know you'll say go
What seems to be the problem here is you and me
'Cause we just can't agree
So let's just say goodnight and go home
You're always right, and I have never been wrong
The way we are it's getting harder to hang on
But who's to blame, when two things are
Never the same, it's not people that change
It's maybe living from day to day
What can I say, the Lord just made us this way
What can I do you know what I've been through
It's just this world, it makes it hard for a guy and girl
But we could give it a whirl
So let's just say goodnight and go home
No se como decirte
No se como explicarte
Que aqui no hay remedio
De lo que siento yo
De lo que siento yo
La luna me dice una cosa
Las estrellas me dicen otra
Y la luz del dia me canta
Esta triste cancion
Esta triste cancion
Los besos que me diste mi amor
Son los que me estan matando
Ya las lagrimas me estan secando
Con mi pistola y mi corazon
Y aqui siempre paso la vida con
La pistola y el corazon
No se como amarte
No se como abrasarte
Porque no se me deja
Dolor que tengo yo
El dolor que tengo yo
Esta noche tan oscura con sus
Sombras tan tranquilos
Y el viento me sige cantando
Este humilde cancion
Este humilde cancion
Los besos que me diste mi amor
Son los que me estan matando
Ya las lagrimas me estan secando
Con mi pistola y mi corazon
Y aqui siempre paso la vida con
La pistola y el corazon

Middle of July
Nineteen-eighty-two
Standing on a corner
With nothing much to do
Talking with Cecilia
In nineteen-eighty-five
Glad to still be breathing
Glad to be alive
Where's all the time
Nineteen-ninety-one?
Change on the dresser
Bed is still undone
What's a weary man to do
In nineteen-ninety-four?
Hear the front bell ringing
But no one's at the door
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Who's gonna know
When all is said and done
That a boy was born to Rita
In nineteen-sixty-one
And lived a hundred years
By nineteen-ninety-six
Who's ever gonna notice
That it all came down to this
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
I would've run away with you
If I hadn't asked what I should do
Believe me what I say is true
I would've run, run away with you
I would've known it from the start
If I hadn't listened to my heart
You'll never know but this is true
I would have run, run away with you, run away with you
I was afraid what they might say
When I could have turned the other way
You've got to know this love is true
I would've run, run away with you, run away with you
Run away with you
Run away with you
Run away with you
?Que hare lejos de ti prenda del alma?
?Sin verte, sin oirte y sin hablarte?
A cada instante intentare de ti acordarme
?Como quitar la esencia de las flores?
?Como quitarle al viento la armonia?
?Como negar que te amo, vida mia?
?Como borrar de mi alma esta pasion?
Al ver que el cruel destino nos condena
Mi bien de que me olvidez tengo miedo
Mi corazon me dice ya no puedo
No puedo mis angustias soportar
?Como quitar el brillo a las estrellas?
?Como impedir que corra el manso rio?
?Como negar que sufrir el pecho mio?
When love's in vain, love can be so strange
There ain't nothing I can take to kill this pain
Set me free
Why don't you, Rosa Lee?
She is a dream, but she's so hard to please
She moves around like an Egyptian queen
Set me free
Why don't you, Rosa Lee?
I'm so afraid of losing you
But there's only so much that a man can do
For Rosa Lee
Why don't you set me free?
When I hit the road the time goes slow
Think about the places I used to go
With Rosa Lee
Why don't you set me free?
They're trying to close the Tu Ye Yo
The Latin playboy and the sky room shows
Rosa Lee
Why don't they let them be?
I can't get used to losing you
But there's only so much that a man can do
For Rosa Lee
Why don't you set me free?
People say that you were made for me
I knocked my head [Incomprehensible]
But they'll never know the hurt it takes
To be Rosa Lee
When love's in vain, love can be so strange
But I never thought I'd wear a ball and chain
Set me free
Why don't you, Rosa Lee?
Set me free
Why don't you, Rosa Lee?
Why don't you set me free
Why don't you Rosa Lee, yeah
Why don't you set free, why don't you set free
You got to set me free
Hammer and a nail
Hammer and a nail
Saint behind the glass
Holds a hammer and a nail
Baby in his arms
Baby in his arms
Saint behind the glass
Has a baby in his arms
Watches me sleep
Watches me sleep
Saint behind the glass
Watches me while I sleep
Coffee in the air
Coffee in the air
Saint behind the glass
Smells coffee in the air
Curtains blowing 'round
Curtains blowing 'round
Saint behind the glass
Sees curtains blowing 'round
Night upon my head
Night upon my head
Saint behind the glass
Lays night upon my head
Mother don't cry
Mother don't cry
Saint behind the glass
The radio's on, the song they play
Can't make no sense of what they say
I couldn't tell you if I knew
Don't understand most things I see
In the blue light of the TV
I couldn't tell you what to do
Rita, it all just seems too much
And sometimes maybe not enough
My head is so, so filled up
And Rita, I guess I think too much
Or maybe sometimes not enough
My head is always so filled up
I hold the phone close to my ear
Can't recognize the voice I hear
Couldn't remember what they said
The newspaper stacks up on the step
I can't believe how long I slept
Now why should I get out of bed
Rita, it all just seems too much
And sometimes maybe not enough
My head is so, so filled up
And Rita, I guess I think too much
Or maybe sometimes not enough
My head is always so filled up
There was a thing floating way up there
Was it a wish or another prayer
All avenues lead to one
Baby you can walk or run
Get there first or next or last, it don't matter
Take it slow or take it fast
You cannot overtake your past
Can't hurry up tomorrow, let it come
Hurry up tomorrow, I don't know
Where love's gone or where it still may go
I can see the raindrops roll
Down my bedroom window slow
Like they're strumming, on the guitar of my soul
Hurry tomorrow
Hurry up
Hurry up another day
Let the guitar player play
Music makes it seem alright while it's playing
Should I stand or should I speak?
Hold me up my knees are weak
Dancing cheek to cheek with you
After midnight
Hurry up tomorrow, I don't know
Where love's gone or where it still may go
I can see the raindrops roll
Down my bedroom window slow
Like they're strumming, like they're strumming on my soul
On the heartstrings of my soul [unverified]
Hurry tomorrow
Hurry up
Hurry up tomorrow, I don't know
Where love's gone or where it still may go
I can see the raindrops [unverified] my bedroom window slow
Like they're strumming, like they're strumming, on my soul
Hurry tomorrow
Hurry it slow
The advantage of being in high places
Is that you never have to look up
The advantage of being in high places
Is that you never have to look up
And you feel like a big shot
It makes you feel like a big shot
It makes you feel like a big shot
Makes you feel like a real big shot
The advantage of being in high places
Is that people look so small
The advantage of being in high places
Is that people look so small
And you feel like a big shot
It makes you feel like a big shot
It makes you feel like a big shot
Makes you feel like a real big shot
The trouble with being in high places
When you fall it's a long way down
The trouble with being in high places
When you fall it's a long way down
The trouble with being in high places
The trouble with being in high places
The trouble with being in high places
The trouble with being in high places
When you're down nobody picks you up
The trouble with being in high places
When you're down nobody picks you up
'Cause you acted like a big shot
What happened to the big shot
So what happened to the big shot
You thunk you were a real big shot
The trouble with being in high places
The trouble with being in high places
The trouble with being in high places
On the day Manuel went and died
The men all laughed and the girls did cry
Now it's time to lay his soul to rest
Do him up in his Sunday best, oh my
Manny's dead and didn't leave me none
Went off to heaven, left his bed undone
Gone away, he didn't leave a cent
The dogs are all wonderin' where their daddy went, oh my
Don't go leave me here by myself
Won't hear me callin' when you've all done left
Guess I didn't make it out this time
But I'll be waitin' on the other side, bye bye
Way down in Manny's bones
A dry old river and a dusty soul
We'll take him down to the fishin' hole
And let the water take him to his home
Way down in Manny's bones
A dry old river and a dusty soul
We'll take him down to the fishin' hole
And let the water take him to his home
Way down in Manny's bones
I'm a prisoner here by your design
And the key to the door
Oh, I can't find
Closin' in here, baby, are these four walls
Not even a dime will you give me to make my one call
I don't know what a man's supposed to do
When the joy is gone
Gone away from you
Ain't no hammer, ain't no rock
Can break the lock on these chains
Chains of love
I drag down the boulevard, this ball of steel
And the ties that bind me, girl, are all too real
I gotta go free like a bird up in the air
Like a child in the schoolyard without a care
Ain't no hammer, ain't no rock
Can break the lock on these chains
Ain't no spell, none I can tell
Can take away these chains
Ain't no how to get out
Outta these chains of love
Chains of love
Look at the clock
So much time
I looked again and the hands are stopped
Ain't no hammer, ain't no rock
Can break the lock on these chains
Ain't no spell, none I can tell
Can take away these chains
Ain't no how to get out
Outta these chains of love
Chains of love
Outta these chains of love
What's the use in trying
She'll never compromise
She's putting out the fire
Heart's as cold as ice
I know she's out there running
With another man
That woman never learns
She'll never understand
I can't stop the rain
Can't stop the rain from falling down
She's got me in a trance
A mojo's in the work
A pitted little soul
I ain't nothin' but a jerk
I fell for her compassion
It hit me like a bomb
And now I'm counting pennies
I ain't nothin' but a bum
But I can't stop the rain
Can't stop the rain from falling down
Can't stop the rain
Can't stop the rain from falling down
Never stop the rain
So here I sit up crying
Ain't nothin' but the blues
Rememberin' sweet little nothings
She made me so amused
I can't stop the rain
Can't stop the rain from falling down
I can't stop the rain
Can't stop the rain from falling down
I can't stop the rain
Can't stop the rain
Can't stop the rain
What big eyes you have
What big lips you have
What a nice hat
I love you
What you said?
I can't hear you
What you said?
What you said?
Do the colossal head
What you said?
What you said?
Ay, ay, ay, ay
Canta y no llores,
Porque cantando se alegran,
Cielito lindo, los corazones.
De la sierra morena,
Cielito lindo, vienen bajando
Un par de ojitos negros,
Cielito lindo, de contrabando.
Ese lunar que tienes,
Cielito lindo, junto a la boca,
No se lo des a nadie,
Cielito lindo, que a mí me toca.
Ay, ay, ay, ay, ¡Tio Paco!
Canta y no llores,
Porque cantando se alegran,
Cielito lindo, los corazones.
Este cielito lindo
Lindo cielito que canto aquí
Viene de la huasteca cielito lindo
Solo por ti
Ay ay ay ay, sí ay ay ay ay
No los desprecies
Porque tendrás la culpa
Cielito lindo que se regrese
Para que ya no dudes
De mi pasión-a
Abre con un chuchillo
Mi corazón
Para que ya no dudes
De mi passión-a
Abre con un chuchillo
Mi corazón-a
Ay ay ay ay ay
Pero con tiento no
Te lastimes niño
Que tu estás dentro
Tierra de los aztecas
Cielito lindo, que Dios nos hizo
Son esas tres huastecas
Cielito lindo, un paraíso
Ay ay ay ay
Sí ay ay ay ay
Tierras hermanas
La huasteca hidalguense
My mouth is dry, my head is hot
Somebody tell me just what is this thing I've got
Doctor, doctor, help me please
This spell has got me dropped down to my knees
Talkin' 'bout charmed, baby
Talkin' 'bout charmed, baby
Talkin' 'bout charmed, baby
Talkin' 'bout charmed, baby
Must be a potion, gotta be a pill
Gotta be somethin' that can cure me of these chills
Doctor help me, what do you say?
"There ain't nothin' that can make this go away"
Talkin' 'bout charmed, baby
Talkin' 'bout charmed, baby
Talkin' 'bout charmed, baby
How could things be so easy some days
And so hard in times when I could use some help
Coming by my way
I just don't know why you won't take me for myself
You say that I should be somebody
Don't you think that I'd be funny in a suit and tie
Ol' mister nine-to-five
I just don't know why you won't take me for myself
I've been rackin' my brain
Tryin' to find a way to make ends meet
I've been making two bridges
Write you songs that you can sing
There ain't anybody else that I could be
Say, how long will it be now?
How long will it be now? How long will it be now?
How long will it take to make him see my side?
I ain't no nine-to-five
I just don't know why you won't take me for myself
If you could only own a mountain made of solid gold
What difference would it make, you'd just have more to break
And I don't know why you won't take me for myself
I just don't know why you won't take me for myself
I just don't know why you won't take me for myself
Standin' there by the window, starin' out at the night
You've got so many troubles on your nervous mind
But don't worry baby, it's gonna work out fine
You hear the sound of footsteps, stealing 'cross the floor
You picked up the receiver, you didn't know what for
Then you saw the shadow, steppin' through the door
Well don't worry baby, what the world may bring
Well don't worry baby, it won't change a thing
Life is a fly and then you die
Standin' near by the window, starin' out at the night
You see your lover leanin' against the old street light
But don't worry baby, it's gonna be alright
He was tossin' and turnin' and he couldn't sleep
It ain't sure to bother and it was just a dream
So where was he goin', headin' down the street
Well don't worry baby, what the world may bring
Well don't worry baby, it won't change a thing
Oh Donna, Oh Donna, Oh Donna, Oh Donna
I had a girl.
Donna was her name.
Since you left me, I've never been the same
Cause I love my girl.
Donna where can you be?
Where can you be?
Now that you're gone I'm left all alone
All by myself to wonder and yoam
Cause I love my girl
Donna where can you be?
Where can you be?
Well, Darling now that you're gone
I don't know what I'll do
Cause I had all my love for you
Oh Donna, Oh Donna, Oh Donna, Oh Donna
Rain, rain, rain, a wicked rain falling on the town
Down, down, down, pouring down upon the night
Well, there's just one chance in a million
That someday we'll make it out alive
Rain, rain, rain, an evil rain falling all the time
Sun, sun, sun, sun don't ever want to shine
Well, there'll be no light in the morning
Till some peace at last we find
Like travelers in the darkness can't see our way
Trying hard to make it through another day
Father, father, father, why do you let your sons go astray?
Brother, brother, brother, why must we go on this way?
Well, there's a storm off in the distance
And it looks like it's here to stay
Rain, rain, rain, an evil rain falling from the sky
Sun, sun, sun, sun don't ever want to shine
Rain, rain, rain, wicked rain
Rain, rain, rain, evil rain
Rain, rain, rain, sun, sun, sun
Rain, rain, rain, wicked rain
Wicked rain, wicked rain
Este amor apasionada anda todo aborotado por volver

Nos dejamos hace tiempo pero se que fue el momento de perder
Tu tenias mucah razon le ago caso al corazon y me muero por volver
Y volver, volver, volver
A tus brazos otra vez

Yo se perder yo se pereder
And so we've come a long way
Too, too long baby, I've got to say
And even though we had some fun
I'm tellin' you honey, I've got to run
Well it seems you had your time
Takin' everything from me you could find
But now the table's turned and this old heart you'll never burn
But this bird's got to fly, bird's got to fly
I'm tellin' you honey, this bird's got to fly, so long
Got to be on my way
You always seemed so clever
With your little books that you read forever
Always a-keepin' me down, but now I'm gonna come back around
A-tears a-burnin' me, a-pain a-burnin' me, can't you see?
And I'm tired of wasting precious time
To you my life ain't worth a single dime
But this bird's got to fly, bird's got to fly
I'm tellin' you honey, this bird's got to fly, so long
Got to be on my way
And so we've come a long way
Too, too long baby, I've got to say
I'm tired of wastin' precious time
'Cause to you my life ain't worth a single dime
So this bird's got to fly, bird's got to fly
I'm tellin' you honey, this bird's got to fly, so long
Got to be on my way, so so long
The wind blows through the valley, it's warm and hard and wild
It gets up all inside the trees and shakes the leaves all night
They shake up through the mountains, they shake up to the sky
They shake up to the moon above and then it starts to shine
And Lord it makes me tremble
And Lord it makes me tremble
Shakin' and shakin' and shakes
Shakin' and shakin' and shakes
Shakin' and shakin' and baby
They shakin' and shakin' and shakes
A fault runs through the valley as long as it is mean
It starts to tear into the earth and gets all in between
It shakes up through the mountains, it shakes down to the sea
It shakes up to the volcano and then it starts to scream
And Lord it makes me tremble
And Lord it makes me tremble
Shakin' and shakin' and shakes
Shakin' and shakin' and shakes
Shakin' and shakin' and baby
They shakin' and shakin' and shakes
There's a woman in this valley, she's sweet as she is rough
And when she starts to dance that way, she shakes the boys all up
She shakes it through the mountain, she shakes it through the night
She shakes it like a hurricane, she gives a blind man sight
And Lord it makes me tremble
And Lord it makes me tremble
Shakin' and shakin' and shakes
Shakin' and shakin' and shakes
Shakin' and shakin' and baby
They shakin' and shakin' and shakes
Shakin' and shakin' and shakes
Shakin' and shakin' and shakes
Shakin' and shakin' and baby
Oh, baby
Girl, don't pull the rug from under my feet
Don't do it baby
Don't leave, don't leave me so
I'm talking in my sleep
This could be the start of a nightmare
Waking up and not finding you there
It would be more than I could stand
Oh, baby
Girl, don't leave me so I'm pacing the floor
Don't do it baby
'Cause that's, that's what I'll do
If you close the door, yeah
Maybe I've been too hung up on myself
But don't change me by putting my heart on a shelf
It would be more than I could stand, listen baby
Why you wanna leave me? Why you wanna go?
I promise not to never hurt you, no more
Please don't leave me, please don't go
It's causin' my heart to ache, causin' it to break
We, we've still got a love
Got of love to give, yeah
So turn around, baby, turn around
While there's a lot of life to live
Leavin' me would ruin all of my plans
It would be like tying the both of my hands
And that is more baby than I could stand, yeah
Why you wanna leave me? Why you wanna go?
I promise not, never hurt you, no more
Please don't leave me, please don't go
I promise not, never, never hurt you, no more
Please don't leave me, please don't go
I promise not, never hurt you, no more
Please don't leave me, please don't go
I promise not, never hurt you, no more
Please don't go, baby, please don't leave
Alone at night with sleepless eyes
The starlit sky don't seem to mind
A candle's burnin' a hundred years
Like a baby cryin' a thousand tears
But it's been so long
And the days go on and on
A town is sleepin' across the sea
In a land that's only a memory
A red sun's risin' as if to say
"Don't ever leave me, don't go away"
But I gotta be strong
As time goes on and on
What can I do in dreams so blue
Where I see you
My little Japan, my little Japan
Morning's comin' through evening's rest
I've tried my hardest, I've done my best
Is it right to say to you
What my spirit's calling for me to do?
But I can't be wrong
I gotta go on and on
Along the way, I'll hope and pray
I can see the day
I could be with you, my little Japan

A long time down away on East side, South side
Los Angeles, Detroit, America, U.S.A.
Sittin' right about here watchin' high heels
And sneakers tread concrete platform headin' straight
For who knows where and why and how come
Clack, clack, clack
Goin' down the rails and comin' back
Train a comin' goin'
Clack, clack, clack
Clack, clack, clack
I'm thinkin' in sick brain
"Say man, where you goin' with all those stories
Wrapped up in suitcase and handbags and old rags?"
Says, "I can't say, but the 12:40's got my name"
Well, it goes without sayin', everybody loves a train
Steel whistle blowin' a crazy sound
Jump on a car when she comes around
Steel whistle blowin' a crazy sound
Jump on a car when she comes around
Clack, clack, clack
Goin' down the rails and comin' back
Train a comin' goin'
Clack, clack, clack
Clack, clack, clack
Just goes without saying
That everybody loves a train
Go ahead and call us insane
But we all just love a train
Evangeline is on the roam
Just barely seventeen
When she left home
Don't know where she is
Or where she's going
She is the queen of make believe, Evangeline
I can still remember this little girl
Black eyes just starin'
At this big old world
Ran off to find some American dream
Train ticket in one hand
In her new blue jeans
Evangeline is on the roam
Just barely seventeen
When she left home
Don't know where she is
Or where she's going
She is the queen of make believe, Evangeline
She went out dancin' on a Saturday night
Silk stockings and high heels
Blue liner on her eyes
But on Sunday mornin', she's all alone
Head lyin' on the nightstand
By the telephone
Evangeline is on the roam
Just barely seventeen
When she left home
Don't know where she is
Or where she's going
She is the queen of make believe, Evangeline

Cruella De Vil
in the sunlight of your smile
in the summer of our life
in the magic of love
storms above scattered away
lovers dreaming in the night
reaching for paradise
but as the dark shadows fade
love slips away
on an empty stretch of beach
in the pattern of the waves
drawing pictures with my hand
in the sand, I see your face
skipping pebbles on the sea
wishing for Paradise
sand castles crumble below
the restless tides ebb and flow
listening to a shell
hoping for your voice
beautiful Maria of my soul
though we'll always be apart
locked forever in a dream
if I ever love again
even then, nothing will change
and the taste of you remains
clinging to Paradise
but as the distance from you grows
all that my heart ever knows
hunger for your kiss
longing for your touch
beautiful Maria of my soul
filling all my nights
haunting all my days
Cuando you and me
We were just chiquillos
We would always run
Through the tall nopal
We would often say
Say to each other
There could be no fin
Siempre los dos
Luz de mi vida
Eres la voz de mi son
You are forever
Light of my corazon
It was en la manana
In our rinconcito
Was the time you played me
Sang me your cancion
Pues when I heard your voice
Y tu melodia
You so touched my heart
And so moved my soul
Luz de mi vida
Eres la voz de mi son
You are forever
Light of my corazon
I remember everything as you
And in all the things that I do
And en the calle y en el cuartel
Me recuerdo de tu querer
Luz de mi vida
Eres la voz de mi son
I remember everything as you
And in all the things that I do
And en the calle y en el cuartel
Vamos al dance a pachangear
Voy con los batos de mi clantón
Voy encontrar a mi querer
A tirar chancla, ay que sabrozón
Que suave está esta canción
Esta rola del corazón
Porque al bailar soy muy feliz
Ay chiquitita tu eres la razón
Que bonito suena
Esta cumbia cumbia
Los batos les gustan
Baila Chuco's cumbia
Vamos al club a pachangear
Voy con los bato de mi clantón
Voy encontrar a mi querer
A tirar chancla, ay que sabrozón
Que suave está esta canción
Esta rola del carazón
Porque al bailar soy muy feliz
If I could
Turn night into day
You know I would
If I could
Make stone into gold
You know I would
Look for why
Up in the sky
Where have you gone
Gone so soon?
Ask Jupiter or the moon
If I could
Move clouds from the blue
You know I would
If I could
Make this day last
You know I would
A quiet sigh
At morning light
Where did you go
Go so soon?
Wake Jupiter or the moon
Talk to me
Hear me please
How long is forever?
Tell me Jupiter or the moon
Gazing up
Into the dark
If you could
If you would
You should just
Talk to me
Hear me please
It was the third of September; that day I'll always
remember,
'Cause that was the day that my daddy died.
I never got a chance to see him; never heard nothin'
but bad things about him.
Mama I'm depending on you to tell me the truth.
Mama just looked at him and said, "Son,
Papa was a rollin' stone.
Wherever he laid his head was his home.
And when he died, all he left us was alone."
Papa was a rollin' stone.
Wherever he laid his head was his home.
And when he died, all he left us was alone."
Hey, Mama, is it true what the say, that Papa never
worked a day in his life?
And Mama, they talk all around town say that
Papa had three outside children and another wife
And that ain't right.
Heard them talkin' about Papa doing some storefront
preachin'
Talkin' about saving your souls and all the time weak,
dealin' in death
And stealin' in the name of the Lord
Mama just hung her head and said,
Papa was a rollin' stone.
Wherever he laid his head was his home.
And when he died, all he left us was alone."
Papa was a rollin' stone.
Wherever he laid his head was his home.
And when he died, all he left us was alone."
Hey, Mama, I heard Papa call himself a jack of all
trades.
Tell me, is that what sent Papa to an early grave?
Folks say Papa would beg; borrow or steal to pay his
bills.
Hey, Mama, folks say Papa was never much on thinkin';
Spend most of his time chasin' women and drinkin'!
Mama, I'm depending on you to tell me the truth.
Mama just hung her head and said, "Son,
Papa was a rollin' stone.
Wherever he laid his head was his home.
And when he died, all he left us was alone."
Papa was a rollin' stone.
Wherever he laid his head was his home.
And when he died, all he left us was alone."
Papa was a rollin' stone.
Wherever he laid his head was his home.
And when he died, all he left us was alone."
Papa was a rollin' stone.
Wherever he laid his head was his home.
My mama, she said
â� �½Leave well alone
And remember what I said
Even when you're grownâ� ¬Â
She said, â� �½You and your brother
Must learn to share
To do always what's right
And what's fairâ� ¬Â
â� �½And be slow what you take
'Cause you reap just what you make
And don't fight
Like two dogs and one boneâ� ¬Â
Said it's better to give
Than to receive
And to always tell the truth
And don't deceive
And make sure that you do
What your mama tells you to
And don't fight
Like two dogs and one bone
And be slow what you take
'Cause you reap just what you make
And don't fight
Out among the stars I sail
Way beyond the moon
In my silver ship I sail
A dream that ended too soon
Now I know exactly who I am
And what I'm here for
And I will go sailing no more
All the things I thought I'd be
All the brave things I've done
Vanished like a snowflake
With the rising of the sun
Never more to sail my ship
Where no man has gone before
And I will go sailing no more
No, it can't be true
I could fly if I wanted to
Like a bird in the sky I believe I can fly
Why I'd fly?
Oh, this is the night it's a beautiful night
And we call it bella notte
Look at the skies they have stars in their eyes
On this lovely bella notte
Side by side with your loved one
You'll find the enchantment here
The night will weave its magic spell
When the one you love is near
This is the night and the heavens are right
On this lovely bella notte
Side by side with your loved one
You'll find the enchantment here
The night will weave its magic spell
When the one you love is near
This is the night and the heavens are right
Better to walk down the boulevard
Feeling the sun on my face
Watching him banging . kiss
.got a real life
Got a dream life
No matter which way I go
Down on the main street
Down on . street
Is where I feel like home
Nothing better than . down the boulevard
With a little time on my side
All worries gone away to somewhere else
Down on the main street
Going home is the only place I know
Take me there with the slow
Nothing better than . down the boulevard
Get a little dirt on my shoes
With my brothers and sister . all around
got a real life
Got a dream life
No matter which way I go
Down on the main street
Down on . street

A sonar del bajo sexto
Al compár del contrabajo
Y al arrullo de acordeón
En esta noche cantada
Bajo al pie de tu ventana
Vengo entregarte mi amor
Hace tiempo que te quiero
Hace tiempo que te adoro
Con todo mi corazón
Y te juro que no miento
Pues jamás un buen norteño
Habla sin tener honor
Serenata norteña
Al estilo Nuevo León
Que también en Matamoros
Por Reynosa y Río Bravo
Son de pura tradición
Por estas que no le estrañe
Que no venga con mariachi
Que no venga con orquesta
O con cualquier otro son
Pero es que aquí en mi Norte
Pero es que aquí en mi Norte
Reina más el acordeón
Chaparrita de mi vida
Mi neñita consentida
Eres tambo y orejón
Y al perfume de tu encanto
Yo te adoro, te idolatro
Con todo mi corazón
Serenata norteña
Al estilo Nuevo León
Que también en Matamoros
Por Reynosa y Río Bravo
Look for the bare necessities
Simple bare necessities
Forget about your worries and your strife
I mean the bare necessities
Old Mother Nature's recipes
That bring the bare necessities of life
Wherever I wander, wherever I roam
Couldn't be fonder of my big home
The bees are buzzing in the tree
To make some honey just for me
When you look under the rocks and plants
And take a glance at the fancy ants
Then maybe try a few
The bare necessities of life will come to you
They'll come to you
Look for the bare necessities
The simple bare necessities
Forget about your worries and your strife
I mean the bare necessities
That's why a bear can rest at ease
With just the bare necessities of life
Now when you pick a pawpaw
Or a prickly pear
Or you prick a raw paw
Next time beware
Don't pick the prickly pear by the paw
When you pick the pear
Try to use a claw
But you don't need to use a claw
When you pick the pear of a big pawpaw
Have I given you a clue? Hmm?
The bare necessities of life will come to you
Will come to you
Don't spend your time looking around
For something you want that can't be found
When you find out you can live without it
And go along not thinking about it
I'll tell you something true
Just try and relax
Yeah, cool it
Fall apart in my backyard
Let me tell you something, little [?]
See that bee over there?
You're working too hard
The bare necessities of life will come to you
They'll come to you
They'll come to you
They'll come to you
Vamos a la playa
Con Rosita, Sandra y Juan
Vamos a la playa
Con Rosita, Sandra y Juan
Aunque la agua sera fria
Vamos a tener mucho fun
Vamos a tener mucho fun
Vamos a la playa
Vamos a la playa
Vamos a nadar hasta
La isla de la mujer
Vamos a nadar hasta
La isla de la mujer
Alli podemos correr desnudos
Porque nadie nos puede ver
Alli podemos correr desnudos
Porque nadie nos puede ver
Vamos a la playa
Hace algun tiempo
Me preguntaba un chiquillo
Por el significado
De la palabra patria
Me soprendio con su pregunta
Y con el alma en la garganta
Le dije asi
Flor de barrio, hermanito
Patria, son tantas cosas bellas
Como aquel viejo arbol
Que nos habla y renueva
Como el carino que guardas
Despues de muerta la abuela
Patria son tantas cosas bellas
Son las paredes de un barrio
De su esperanza morena
Es lo que lleva en el alma
Como aquel cuando se aleja
Son los martires que gritan
Bandera, bandera bandera bandera
No memorices lecciones
Dictaduras o encierros
La patria no la defines
Los que suprimen a un pueblo
La patria es un sentimiento
En la mirada de un viejo
Son la entera primavera brisa de hermanita nueva
It don't look
Don't look like I'm going nowhere
Five cents for a bottle
A quarter rolling down the stairs
All in all I ain't got
Ain't got much in a tin can trust
Don't know how
But it's gotta be going somewhere
A dime store shirt
And two bucks for a good pair
All in all it ain't much ain't got much in my tin can trust
Little darling
I can't buy you
Those gold rings and things
But honey
I can give you
One thing a man can bring
All in all I ain't got
Don't got much
All in all there ain't much
Just some love in a tin can trust
Oh darling
Can't buy you
All those pretty things
Big money can't give you
Fancy cars and diamond rings
Oh honey
Got nothin'
Hold on
Hold on to every breath
And if I make it to the sunrise
Just to do it all over again
Do it all over again
I'm killing myself just to keep alive
Killing myself to survive
Killing myself to survive
Every night I stare this thing down
Knowing that you'll win in the end
There's blood on the rag
And only dust in the bag
Thought you said that you were my friend
Hold on
Hold on to every breath
And if I make it to the sunrise
Just to do it all over again
Do it all over again
I'm killing myself just to keep alive
Killing myself to survive
Killing myself to survive
Every day I watch the sun go down
Telling myself a big lie
Can I say I'll go another day
Or will this be the time that I die
Hold on
Hold on to every breath
And if I make it to the sunrise
Just to do it all over again
Do it all over again
I'm killing myself just to keep alive
Killing myself to survive
Le canto a mi patria, le canto a mi gente*
Le canto a mi madre, le canto a mi padre
Y hasta el presidente.
Este ritmo suave, que me hace bailar
A todas las chicas, ay que bonitas
Las pongo a gozar
Que bonito baila, baila cumbia mi morena
Mueve la cintura, ella me hace que yo me muera.
Tambien a mis barrios, y a todos los vatos
Les tocamos rolas, este baile padre
Como el vallenato.
Muevete mi linda, mueve la cadera
Mira que tan lindo te vez bailando
Como una sirena.
Que bonito baila, baila cumbia mi morena
Mueve la cintura, ella me hace que you me muera.
Tambien a mis barrios, y a todos los vatos
Les tocamos rolas, este baile padre
Como el vallenato.
Muevete mi linda, mueve la cadera
Mira que tan lindo te vez bailando
Como una sirena.
Que bonito baila, baila cumbia mi morena
Twenty-seven spanishes
Arriving from the sea
Blades of steel flashing
Cutting down the eagle's tree
Came riding in on mountains
On red and silver steeds
Into the city of the serpent
Through the gates of the Otomi
A soldier dressed in iron asks
"Where do you all come from?"
"From the earth of four directions
From the purple clouds above"
Just then a rain came falling down
As the wind began to blow
The sky then turned to crimson
With a sound so deep and low
Said the brown prince to the spanishes
As he raised a mighty hand
"Don't come here bringing worries
To the people of this land"
Their swords then turned to deadly snakes
Like the ones found in the grass
"Get back into those silly ships
Before we kick your ass"
But the strangers made an offer
So the brown prince said "why not"
And ended up with empty plates
And boot soup in a pot
Later they became muy friendly
And their blood was often mixed
Now they all hang out together
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 dragonfly 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, crawl, crawl
To the ugly bug ball
A happy time we'll have
One and all at the ugly bug ball
While the crickets click their cricky melodies
And the ants were fancy dancing with the fleas
Then up from under the ground
Worms came squirming around
And they danced until their legs were nearly lame
Every little crawling creature you could name
Everyone was glad what a time they had
They were so happy they came
Come on let's crawl, crawl, crawl
Ugly bug ball
And a happy time we'll have
One and all, ugly bug ball
Then our caterpillar saw a pretty queen
She was beautiful, yellow black and green
He said, "Would you care to dance"
Their dancing lead to romance
Then she sat upon his caterpillar knee
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, crawl, crawl
To the ugly bug ball
And a happy time we'll have
One and all, the ugly bug ball
Come on let's crawl, crawl, crawl
To the ugly bug ball
And a happy time we'll have
I've scaled the highest mountain
Crossed the big blue sea
Chased that mighty, mighty dollar
Dreamed of the man that I could be
Little things all around me
Little things that I could never see
Like the love you tried to give me
And in the end, just threw it away
I stood atop the golden tower
Rode upon a silver steed
Piled the riches higher and higher
More then a man could ever need
Little things all around me
Little things that I could never see
Like the heart beating inside me
That I just threw it away
Like this heart beating inside me
That I just threw it away
Those little things all around me
Little things I never learned to see
Like the love you tried to give me
I went ahead and threw it away
Like the love you tried to give me
I just threw it away
Oh, threw it away
Little things all around me
Little things that I could never see
Like the heart breaking inside me
Zandu cracked the tile
With a pointed file
Could be heard for miles
Diamond cut the glass
Like a blade of grass
Nothing made to last
In the halls of Lu
In the new Zandu
In the halls of Lu
In the new Zandu
In the halls of Lu
In the new Zandu
In the halls of Lu
In the new Zandu
In the halls of Lu
[Chorus:]
She's got me walking, got me talking,
Talking to myself. And I've got no money,
Got no honey, trouble is all I have
It happened just the other night
I had been out drinking and I was
Feeling fine, but when I got home
She was at the door, she had fire
In her eyes.
So I tried to keep my cool, wasn't
Much more that I could do.
Then she let me have it right between
The eyes and I knew our love was thru
[Chorus]
Now what is a man to do
When a woman wants it all from you
Says if you want to be my man
Better quit that band and stop
Acting like a fool
I travel down this lonely road
To see if I can pick me a rose
But all I find is a handful of thorns
In a place where blossoms should grow
[Chorus:]
Some hearts are made of stone
Some are cold, made of ice
Some beat all alone
Then there's those made of steel
Ones that don't even feel
Where are those hearts
Those hearts made of gold
I wandered down this lonely trail
Some twenty seven hours a day
But all I see are prints in the dirt
Where others tried to find their way
[Chorus]
How far will I go
To leave these fears behind
Oh, let those tears go dry
Yeah, won't stop until I can find
Oh, that heart of gold
Could have had a chance to get out of this wreck
The time that you came and the day that you left
Could have had a chance
Could have had a chance
Never thought I could make it this far
With a dent in my soul and a hole in my heart
Never thought I could
Never thought I could
[Chorus:]
But when the lights are turning 'round
And wheels are rolling on the ground
That day I'll burn this whole place down
When the circus comes to town
You left your name carved on a tree
You scratched mine out right in front of me
Didn't mean that much
Didn't mean that much
[Chorus]
I'll scratch your name out on that tree
I'll chase your heart right out of me
Doesn't mean that much
Doesn't mean that much
Edna million in a drop dead suit
Dutch pink on a downtown train
Two-dollar pistol but the gun won't shoot
I'm in the corner on the pouring rain
Sixteen men on a dead man's chest
And I've been drinking from a broken cup
Two pairs of pants and a mohair vest
I'm full of bourbon, I can't stand up
Hey little bird, fly away home
Your house is on fire, children are alone
Hey little bird, fly away home
Your house is on fire, your children are alone
Schiffer broke a bottle on morgan's head
And I'm stepping on the devil's tail
Across the stripes of a full moon's head
And through the bars of a cuban jail
Bloody fingers on a purple knife
Flamingo drinking from a cocktail glass
I'm on the lawn with someone else's wife
Admire the view from up on top of the mast
Hey little bird, fly away home
House is on fire, children are alone
Hey little bird, fly away home
House is on fire, your children are alone
I said hey little bird, fly away home
Your house is on fire, your children are alone
Hey little bird, fly away home
House is on fire, your children are alone
Yellow sheets on a hong kong bed
Stazybo horn and a slingerland ride
To the carnival is what she said
A hundred dollars makes it dark inside
Edna million in a drop dead suit
Dutch pink on a downtown train
Two-dollar pistol but the gun won't shoot
I'm in the corner on the pouring rain
Hey little bird, fly away home
Your house is on fire, your children are alone
Hey little bird, fly away home
If Annie puts her hair up on her head
Paints them lips up bright bright red
Wears that dress that fits real tight
Starts stayin' out 'til the middle of the night
Says that a friend gave her a lift
Well Annie's been workin' on the midnight shift
If she acts a little funny, seems a little strange
Starts spending your money for brand new things
Tells you that she wants to use the car
And never explains what she wants it for
Brother, well there ain't no ifs
Annie's been workin' on the midnight shift
Well early in the morning when the sun comes up
You look at ol' Annie and she looka a little rough
You tell your honey "get outta that bed"
She says "leave me alone, I'm just about dead"
If you've got a good mama that's stayin' at home
You'd better enjoy it 'cause it won't last long
When you think everything's all right
She starts steppin' around in the middle of the night
Brother, there just ain't no ifs
Last night I got loaded
On a bottle of gin, on a bottle of gin
Last night I got loaded
On a Bottle of gin, on a bottle of gin
But I feel alright, I feel alright
I feel alright, I feel alright
Night before last I got loaded
On a bottle of whiskey, on a bottle of whiskey
Night before last I got loaded
On a bottle of whiskey, on a bottle of whiskey
But I feel alright, I feel alright
I feel alright, I feel alright
Feel alright
Tonight I might get loaded
On a bottle of wine, on a bottle of wine
Tonight I might get loaded
On a bottle of wine, on a bottle of wine
Gonna feel alright, gonna feel alright
I feel alright, I feel alright
Feel alright
Feel alright
Well, it's Saturday night and I just got paid
Fool about my money, don't try to save
My heart says "go go, have a time"
Cause it's Saturday night and I'm feelin' fine
I'm gonna rock it up, I'm gonna rip it up
I'm gonna shake it up, gonna ball it up
I'm gonna rock it up, and ball tonight
Got me a date and I won't be late
Picked her up in my 88
Shag on down by the union hall
When the joint starts jumpin' I'll have a ball
I'm gonna rock it up, I'm gonna rip it up
I'm gonna shake it up, gonna ball it up
I'm gonna rock it up, and ball tonight
'Long about ten I'll be flying high
Walk on out unto the sky
But I don't care if I spend my dough
'Cause tonight I'm gonna be one happy soul
I'm gonna rock it up, I'm gonna rip it up
I'm gonna shake it up, gonna ball it up
Way down south where I make my stop
They do a dance down there called the Georgia Slop
They all hang out at Peg Leg Lee's
And they don't give a hoot about no police
Peg Leg Lee's is where I'm talking about
They knocked down, kicked, and dragged 'em out
They get paid on Friday when their work's all done
And they all do it up 'til Monday comes
When they do the Slop they turn loose hands
And move like a chicken when he's scratching in the sand
Shuffle your feet and spin like a top
Shake shake shake the Georgia Slop
I stopped to get a soda and dig that jive
I met a chick, she weighed 385
I started lookin' and I couldn't stop
She and I got together and did the Georgia Slop
Peg Leg Lee's is where I'm talking about
They knocked down, kicked, and dragged 'em out
Do it baby, do it baby, do it baby, do it baby
To the right, to the left
You know I love you Baby
Every word is true
There ain't nothing in this world I
Would do for you to show my love is true
To show my love is true
To show I love you Honey
This is what I'll do
I'll stop chasing every pretty little
Girl in town to show my love is true
To show my love is true
To show I love you Sugar
Baby hear me through
I'll quit hanging around those topless bars
And stay right here with you
To show my love is true
To show how much I love you
What more can I do
I won't drink that premium T-bird wine
And stay right here with you
To show my love is true
To show I love you Darling
How much can I do
I'll give up my friends, that old
Juke box, hang up my rocking shoes
To show my love is true
Now wait a minute Baby
Let me think this thru
I can't see myself
Wasting all my time
Trying to prove my love for you
I had a hard run
Running from your window
I was all night running
I wonder if you care?
I had a run-in
Run around and run down
Run around a corner
Run smack into a tree
I had to move
Really had to move
That's why if you please
I am on my bended knees
Bertha don't you come around here anymore
Dressed myself in green
I went down to the sea
Try to see what's going down
Maybe read between the lines
Had a feeling I was falling
Turned around to see
Heard a voice calling
You was comin after me
I had to move
Really had to move
That's why if you please
I am on my bended knees
Bertha don't you come around here anymore
Ran into a rainstorm
Ducked into a bar door
It was all night pouring
But not a drop on me
Test me, test me
Why don't you arrest me?
Throw me in the jail house
Until the sun goes down
Till it go down
I had to move
Really had to move
That's why if you please
I am on my bended knees
Well, why do you do the things you do to me
Well, why do you do the things you do to me
Well, I will be peeping up, baby, can't you see
You got me jittery nervous all through the day
You got me jittery nervous all through the day
Well, brother you know that really doesn't pay
Well, how can you jive me and treat me this way
I'm getting sick and tired of bending your way
Please straighten out, baby, stop your game
Come on now, honey, don't give me more pain
Well, why, why do you do it on me, yeah
Well, why do you do it on me
Well, I'd rather be peeping up, baby, can't you see
Rock it
My friends all say that you're so doggone sweet
My friends all say that you're so doggone sweet
Well, what they don't see is someone not so neat
Well, how can you jive me and treat me this way
I'm getting sick and tired of bending your way
Please straighten out, baby, stop your game
Come on now, honey, don't give me more pain
Well, why, why do you do it on me, yeah
Well, why do you do it on me
Well, I'd rather be peeping up, baby, can't you see
Rock it one time, baby
My friends all say that you're so doggone sweet
My friends all say that you're so doggone sweet
Well, what they don't see is someone not so neat
Well, why, why do you do it to me, yeah
Well, why do you do it to me
I get happy 'cause my life is good
I get laughin' 'cause I know I should
I get all happy 'cause my life is good, so good
And I go
Ooh la la Mm
Ooh la la Mm
Ooh la la Mm
Ooh la la Mm
I get happy 'cause my life is good
Turnin' out just like I thought it would
I get all happy 'cause my life is so dang good
And I go
Ooh la la Mm
Ooh la la Mm
Ooh la la Mm
Ooh la la Mm
Ooh la la Mm
Ooh la la Mm
Ooh la la Mm
Ooh la la Mm
I get all happy 'cause my life is so damn good

And I go
Ooh la la Mm
Ooh la la Mm
Ooh la la Mm
Ooh la la Mm
Ooh la la Mm
Ooh la la Mm
Ooh la la Mm
Round and round and up and down and round and round and
Rollin', rollin' I don't know
Never ends and never ever wants to let me go
When over you comes waves of blue
Have no fear
'Cause I'll be right here beside you
Round and round and up and down and round and round and
Dizzy, dizzy 'till I can't see
Stumbling in the dark
Reaching out, reaching out
For someone to hold me
I'll be your eyes to give you sight
If you fall
If you do fall into that night
Round and round and up and down and round and round and
What will I do if I can't see you?
I can't touch you
I can't even hear you calling my name
Heart to heart
Soul to soul
Heart to heart we can't be wrong
Soul to soul in this small corner of the earth
We've got no money but we've got our lives
A voice that's louder than any picket sign
Don't take away what is ours to keep
This very land that lies beneath our feet
Don't know about this mess we're in
Bombs are bursting in a far off land
Fire's in the sky, soldier takes his stand
Who's to know about this rules that men make
For what honor and for who's sake
Don't know about this mess we're in
The smoke is clearing and we see a light
Coming together for a different fight
All of us looking, finding our way again
Out of this mess we're in
Walking the streets because she has no home
All she has hangs on her flesh and bones
Too many nights sleeping without a warm bed
She passes by but they just turn their heads
Don't know about this mess we're in
Old man dying from too much drink
Blood and glass in the bathroom sink
No one stopped to read the words that he wrote
Or are to hear to stories that he told
Don't know about this mess we're in
The smoke is clearing and we see a light
Coming together for a different fight
All of us looking, finding our way again
Out of this mess we're in
Finding our way again
Out of this mess we're in
Finding our way again
Wouldn't it be nice
To have a lemon 'n ice
And never say that you care for me
Wouldn't it be right
If we could have all night
And say that you'll never miss me
[Chorus:]
Like a lemon 'n ice
Wouldn't it be nice
To take the cool with the heat
Like a lemon 'n ice
Wouldn't it be right
And the sour with the sweet
Couldn't I just say
If you think it's okay
You never have to need me
I won't have to know
If late at night you go
And you can pretend you never know
Shake your shoes off and let loose your feet
Go on out and take it to the street
It don't matter, let 'em all come see
Just grab somebody, anyone you meet
They might be big
They might be small
Maybe brown or round or short or tall
Let's have us a real good time
Don't wait long
To get to this
Don't wait long
To get to this
Shake your head and let your hair fall down
It don't matter if anyone's around
Go outside and give 'em all a shout
Let 'em know what it's all about
We might be big
We might be small
We may be brown 'n round or six feet tall
Gonna have us a real good time
Don't be late
And get to this
Don't be late
And get to this
Don't be late
And get to this
Don't be late
And get to this
Shake your shoes off and let loose your feet
Go on out and take it to the street
It don't matter, let 'em all come see
Just grab somebody, anyone you meet
They might be big
They might be small
Maybe brown or round or short or tall
Let's have us a real good time
Don't wait long
And get to this
Don't wait long
And get to this
Don't wait long
And get to this
Don't wait long
And get to this
Don't wait long
And get to this
Don't wait long
And get to this
Don't wait long
And get to this
Don't wait long
And get to this
Don't wait long
And get to this
Don't you wait
Oo don't you wait
To get to this
Come on baby
Baby why don't we sit back,
Just take the time to relax,
Let's leave the worries behind,
I'll be yours, baby be mine,
It's time to get in the groove,
Of things, there's no need to prove,
Them all wrong,
We know we belong...
(Together) you and I, we have got a love so strong,
And it's a mystery to you and me,
That they think we're so damn wrong,
(They think they're so clever)
When they don't even know what's going on,
Baby what they say don't mean a thing,
As long as we know we will be...
(Forever) we'll be together girl because we know,
That our love will last through good times or bad,
We know our love will always grow,
(Through any weather),
Let's stay together while they act like fools,
Baby they don't know, even this storm,
Can never get between me and you...
Baby why don't we sit back,
Just take the time to relax,
Let's leave the worries behind,
I'll be yours, baby be mine,
It's time to get in the groove,
Of things, there's no need to prove,
Them all wrong,
We know we belong...
(Together) let's take a trip far away from here,
To a world where we could be alone,
Because to me and you it's clear...
(That whatever)
We seem to do they'll always stop and stare,
Baby take my hand, they don't understand
That we don't even care about them baby...
We don't even care about them, baby, no
Keep it stronger, we can't go wrong
In the end they'll understand
And even it they don't, baby
It'll still be you and me, forever at last
Baby why don't we sit back,
Just take the time to relax,
Let's leave the worries behind,
I'll be yours, baby be mine,
It's time to get in the groove,
Of things, there's no need to prove,
Them all wrong,
We know we belong...
Together forever and ever (we'll be together, baby)
Together forever and ever (just you and me my lady)
Together forever and ever (we'll be together babe)
Together forever and ever (forever and ever)
Baby why don't we sit back,
Just take the time to relax,
Let's leave the worries behind,
I'll be yours, baby be mine,
It's time to get in the groove,
Of things, there's no need to prove,
Them all wrong,
I know you've come
To tell me that it's over
Oh, oh, well, all right
I'll let you go free
But, baby
Thought it may be over for you
It'll never be over for me
Made up my mind
Not to start crying, oh, oh
But there's more
Than the eye can see
'Cause, baby, inside
My heart is breaking apart
'Cause it'll never be over for me
I'll know every time
I look up at a star, yeah, yeah
Your face is gonna come in view
And every time
The wild wind touches my lip
I'll think of your kiss
And feel so blue
If ever you find
That you were mistaken, oh, oh
No matter how long
That my heart beats
Just come on back
Oh, forget about everything, yes
'Cause it may be
May be over for you, yeah
Maybe a moonbeam
To light the way when evening comes
Hasn't a worry
Don't care 'bout the cold outside
Only a glad wish
For a magic ride on wings of gold
Only a daydream
Maybe a moonbeam
Just a star bright
Forever nightshade Mary goodnight
She don't want money
Don't want rings or fancy things
Only a star bright
To shine behind big clouds of joy
Only a daydream
Maybe a moonbeam
Just a star bright
Forever nightshade Mary goodnight
Only a daydream
Maybe a moonbeam
Just a star bright
Blood and Chocolate
I hope you're satisfied what you have done
You think it's over now
But we've only just begun
I asked for water
And they gave me rose' wine
A horse that knows arithmetic
And a dog that tells your fortune
[Chorus:]
It's in your eyes
Uncomplicated
I want to buy you
A big blue Diamel
Cheap white plastic shoes
That don't walk out and don't let in
I want to show you
How I love you
When you're over me
There's no-one above you
[Chorus]
You think it's over now
But this is only the beginning
Now, I'm the king of the swingers world
The jungle be, I be
I reach the top and have to stop
And that's what's a bother to me
I wanna be a man, a man cub
And stroll right into town
And be just like the other men
I'm tired of humping around
So, ooh, I wanna be just like you
I wanna walk like you, talk like you too
You see it's true, an ape like me
Can learn to be human too
Now, don't try to kid me man cub
I made a deal with you
What I desire is man's red fire
To make my dream come true
Give me the secret man cub
Just clue me what to do
Give me the power of man's red flower
So I can be like you
So, ooh, I wanna be just like you
I wanna walk like you, talk like you too
You see it's true, an ape like me
Can learn to be human too
You see it's true, an ape like me
Tell me where
Where's the place that I once knew
Gone away
Disappeared into the blue
Asked the old gray dog
Left out in the cold
Asked the man next door
Left behind just 'cause he's old
They don't seem to know
Or just don't care to say
They just laughed out loud
And went along their way
Don't go, ask why
You hear no lie
Don't go, ask why
You hear no lie
Gone away
Disappeared into the blue
They just turned away
Wouldn't look me in the eye
Then I asked again
I swear to God, somebody cried
Don't go, ask why
You hear no lie
Don't go, ask why
You hear no lie
Gone away
Well, well, now, now baby
Let's just go all night long
Well, on, on, on, on, darlin
I just want you-to-go-on more
There won't be no tuttie fruiti
No lolly pop, cmon baby just

Well, now, now, now, now, honey

Well babe, babe, babe, babe, baby

Well on, on, on, on, darlin'

Well I just reelin' till it's over
Oh, just all night long
Well, now
Ooh my head!
Alright, WAIL...
Rock it out...
Come on...
In ancient times
To a place so far away
Across the land
Where the earth was
As tough as clay
Looked at their hands
Looked all around
And they seemed pleased
At what they had found
Here in the valley
Bread on the table
Work through the day
For as long as we are able
Green is the valley
Blue is the night
Out of the shadows
Into the light
They could have gone
But instead they chose to stay
To watch the clouds way up high
As they turned to gray
And through the dark
Broke a crimson sun
And at that moment
Knew their lives had just begun
Here in the valley
Bread on the table
Work through the day
For as long as we are able
Green is the valley
Blue is the night
Out of the darkness
Into the light
Here in the valley
Bread on the table
Work through the day
For as long as we are able
Green is the valley
Blue is the night
Out of the darkness
I met her down in tinsel town in a flood of lights
She came on like a limousine in the star struck night
And she promised me more then she had to give away
Now she says it's all wrong and I'm the one to blame
[Chorus:]
Was it heaven?
Can't tell
A little heaven
Big hell
Yesterday she was out in the car leaning on the horn
Telling me that she cursed the day when I was born
Hard work for a woman who used to love me so
It's kinda hard to believe but that's the way love goes
[Chorus]
I'm a fool and she let me prove it
I'm alone here missing her
Don't know when this ol' heart will ever learn
She made love like an angel does when I held her near
Now there's only a ghost in my heart 'cause she disappeared
My heart says go bring her back but my mind says no
She took me high as the sky and then she just let me go
Won't you come along with me
To a land I know
Just take Route 90
Down to Mexico
Fly over California
This land we love
Everything looks tiny
From so high above
Into Arizona
We'll float along
We'll cross the desert
To old Tucson
Then over the state line
To New Mexico
On our wooly bully
Yippee ay ay yo
We'll ride into Texas
The biggest state I know
See the cattle lolling
On the range below
To the gulf of Mexico
We're gonna go
Where the little shrimp boats
Look like toys below
Where the Rio Grande flows
To where I was born
Down below the border
One Christmas morn
Aren't you glad you came with me
So here we go
Flying over the border
Just a man - made of blood and bone
Thrown away - all that was once my own
Old and worn - and tired too
Of cold so cold - and blue so blue
Endless love - washed away in the sand
Too much to lose - for just a man
In my time - never had my fill
Of broken hearts - for just a thrill
Letting my love - run through my hands
Too much to lose - for just a man
Don't put too many
Cards on this hard-headed man
Take whatever is yours
And get as far away as you can
No gret clouds - lined with silver and gold
No little boy - to watch me grow old
I play the game - as I know I can
So much to lose - for just a man
So much to ache - so much to break
From out the dust
came a man true and bold
Champion of the fandango
By night he drank whiskey
by day killed bad man
And the townspeople knew him as rango
Comin'down the mountainside
the people hailed his name
And of his legend they sango
With iron in his heart
steel in his claw
He pumped their heads all full of lead and rango
Rango
Rango
Rango
Rango
Rango
A ladies man indeed from his head down to his knees
Rango was doing the tango
But in came bad bill from his hide out on the hill
With a notion to kill rango.
Rango
Rango
Rango
Rango
Rango
Rango
Rango
Rango
Rango
Rango
Now rango he is gone but his legend still lives on in the
Brothels and saloon of durango
He lived as he died
A six gun at his side
And all the ladies cried for rango
Rango
Rango
Rango
Rango
Rango
In the dark who can see his face?
In the dark, who can reach him?
He hides like a child
He hides like a child
Keeps his finger on the trigger
He can't stand the day
Shoot out the lights
Shoot out the lights
Keep the blind down on the window
Keep the pain on the inside
Just watching the dark
Just watching the dark
And he might laugh but you won't see him
As he thunders through the night
Shoot out the Lights
Shoot out the Lights
In the darkness the shadows move
In the darkness the game is real
Real as a gun
Real as a gun
As he watches the streets of the city
And he moves through the night
Shoot out the lights
Shoot out the lights
