Fidel Alejandro Castro Ruz (Spanish: [fiˈðel ˈkastro]; born August 13, 1926) is a Cuban revolutionary and politician, having held the position of Prime Minister of Cuba from 1959 to 1976, and then President from 1976 to 2008. He also served as the First Secretary of the Communist Party of Cuba from the party's foundation in 1961 until 2011. Politically a Marxist-Leninist, under his administration the Republic of Cuba was converted into a one-party socialist state, with industry and business being nationalized under state ownership and socialist reforms implemented in all areas of society. On the international stage, he also served as the Secretary-General of the Non-Aligned Movement from 1979 to 1983 and 2006 to 2008.
Margaret Hilda Thatcher, Baroness Thatcher, LG, OM, PC, FRS, née Roberts (born 13 October 1925) is a British politician and the longest-serving (1979–1990) British prime minister of the 20th century, and the only woman ever to have held the post. A Soviet journalist nicknamed her the "Iron Lady", which later became associated with her uncompromising politics and leadership style. As prime minister, she implemented conservative policies that have come to be known as Thatcherism.
Originally a research chemist before becoming a barrister, Thatcher was elected Member of Parliament (MP) for Finchley in 1959. Edward Heath appointed her Secretary of State for Education and Science in his 1970 government. In 1975 Thatcher defeated Heath in the Conservative Party leadership election and became Leader of the Opposition, as well as the first woman to lead a major political party in the United Kingdom. She became prime minister after winning the 1979 general election.
After entering 10 Downing Street, Thatcher introduced a series of political and economic initiatives to reverse what she perceived as Britain's precipitous national decline. Her political philosophy and economic policies emphasised deregulation (particularly of the financial sector), flexible labour markets, the privatisation of state-owned companies, and reducing the power and influence of trade unions. Thatcher's popularity during her first years in office waned amid recession and high unemployment, until economic recovery and the 1982 Falklands War brought a resurgence of support, resulting in her re-election in 1983. Thatcher was re-elected for a third term in 1987, but her Community Charge (popularly referred to as "poll tax") was widely unpopular and her views on the European Community were not shared by others in her Cabinet. She resigned as Prime Minister and party leader in November 1990, after Michael Heseltine launched a challenge to her leadership.
Catherine "Kate" Bush (born 30 July 1958) is an English singer-songwriter, musician and record producer. Her eclectic musical style and idiosyncratic vocal style have made her one of the United Kingdom's most successful solo female performers of the past 30 years.
In 1978, at the age of 19, Bush topped the UK Singles Chart for four weeks with her debut single "Wuthering Heights", becoming the first woman to have a UK number one with a self-written song. She has since released ten albums, three of which topped the UK Albums Chart, and has had 25 UK Top 40 hit singles including the Top 10 hits "Wuthering Heights", "Running Up that Hill", "King of the Mountain", "Babooshka", "The Man with the Child in His Eyes", and "Don't Give Up".
In 1987, she won a Brit Award for Best British Female Solo Artist, and in 2002, her songwriting ability was recognised with an Ivor Novello Award for Outstanding Contribution to British Music. During the course of her career, she has also been nominated for three Grammy Awards. After her 1979 tour – the only concert tour of her career – Bush released the 1980 album Never for Ever, which made her the first British solo female artist to top the UK album charts and the first female artist ever to enter the album chart at Number 1. She is also the first (and to date only) female artist to have Top 5 albums in the UK charts in 5 successive decades.
Christmas time is comin' Santa's not far away
Things are gonna be hummin' here at home on Christmas day
Well mama's in the kitchen a cookin' daddy's docoratin' the tree
Big sister's hangin' the mistletoe little brother's jumpin' with glee
Yes now Christmas time is a comin' Santa's not far away
Things are gonna be hummin' here at home on Christmas day
[ steel ]
Well Johnny's comin' home from the army yes and Susie's comin' home from school
Uncle Bill's a comin' up the hill with the gift for me and you
Oh Christmas time is a comin'...
They say that too much water has run under the bridge
That we never can live down the past
That once your love has ended it never can return
But that's not so for we both know that our love will last
High as the mountain deep as the sea tall as the talest talest tree
That's how much I love you that's how much you love me
High as the mountains deep as the sea
[ steel ]
It might be they're just jealous and don't want to understand
That our love will pass the test with room to spare
But it's just their conscience talkin' of their broken dreams and plans
For it shows and we both know that our love is fair
Hello happiness, goodbye loneliness
Farewell heartaches and so long strife
No more sadness, only gladness
My little darling's coming home tonight
Well, now she called me today
Said, she's on her way that she'd be in on the 6 0 10
Said, we had a date, warned me, "Don't be late"
Promised she never ever leave again
Hello happiness, goodbye loneliness
Farewell heartaches and so long strife
No more sadness, only gladness
My little darling's coming home tonight
Well, we'll take in the town to turn it upside down
New Year is easy comin' early this year
Bad times are a gonna go and the good times are a gonna roll
My little darling's gonna soon be here
Hello happiness, goodbye loneliness
Farewell heartaches and so long strife
No more sadness, only gladness
My little darling's coming home tonight
[ Ira Alen ]
In the silence of this darken room my mind reels with a fragnance of your perfume
In your mind stormy thoughts are growing
Mhm I feel a cold cold wind a blowing woman I feel a cold cold wind a blowing
It's been a lifetime since I been close to you still no one really knows you like I do
With clouds in your mind and ray in your eyes a showing
Mhm I feel a cold cold wind a blowing woman I feel a cold cold wind a blowing
With my arms around you I hold you tight
Though you do the same to me girl you don't feel right
You've got a way of leavin' without going
When you're weary feeling small when tears are in your eyes I will dry them all
I'm on your side oh when times get rough and friends just can't be found
Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down
When you're down and out when you're on the street
When evening falls so hard I will comfort you
I'll take your part oh when darkness comes and pain is all around
Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down
Sail on silver girl sail on by your time has come to shine
All your dreams are on their way
See how they shine oh if you need a friend I'm sailing right behind
Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down
(Excuse me Miss but do you have any)
Blue Christmas lights for my Christmas tree
I want some blue Christmas lights just as blue as me
The one I love has set me free but I still got her memory
Give me blue Christmas lights for my Christmas tree
(Pardon me but do you have any)
Blue Christmas lights blue they've gotta be
Blue Christmas lights for that's how you left me
Although sweetheart you're far away I'll kiss your picture Christmas Day
Under blue Christmas lights on my Christmas tree
[ steel ]
The one I love has set me free but I still got her memory
Give me blue Christmas lights for my Christmas tree
[ Don Rich ]
Wham bam thank you ma'm I'll be on my way thank you but no thank you not today
First thing is matrimony next thing is alimony
Wham bam thank you ma'm I'll be on my way
I'm just too young to get married you see there's too many places that I'd rather be
There's a lotta other fishes in the deep blue sea
So wham bam thank you ma'm that's not for me
Wham bam thank you ma'm...
[ guitar ]
I'm not the kinda guy to buy a ring I'm afraid of weddin' bells and rice and things
I'm just too restless I'll never settle down
So wham bam thank you ma'm I'll see you around
Back in my arms again back in my dreams again back to this lonely world of mine
No need to call for me just come on home to me you know you're welcome anytime
I guess it wasn't in the cards where our love to go on
I found you had another on your mind
But if your deal don't work out the way you think it should
Come on home you're welcome anytime
Back in my arms again...
[ steel ]
Well I've heard that your new love is not the love you've planned
You call me to say you change your mind
If you were just another girl I wouldn't care at all
But I love you so you're welcome anytime
There are lots of hard times Christians living round us every day
Six days for earthly pleasure leaving one day off to pray
But they're standin' face to Saviour if it was a judgement day
Would they be ready if Jesus came today
Would you be ready if Jesus came today would you be ready to follow in his way
Would he take you by the hand or would he have you turn away
Would you be ready if Jesus came today
[ guitar ]
Well he tells us in the Bible just exactly what to do
You'd better read it brother it's meant for me and you
Better have your answer ready if today should be the day
Would you be ready if Jesus came today
If the windows need washin' if the grass needs mowin'
If the paint on the shutters is gone
If the kitchen seems so leakin' if the backdoor's a squeakin'
You've left her lonely too long
You've left her lonely, too long, too long, too many nights
You left her all alone
So if you started hurtin' then there's one thing for certain
You've left her lonely too long
If there's no curtains on the windows no clothes in the closet
If the clock on the mantel run down
If the floor you've started walkin' and if the neighbors have started talkin'
You've left her lonely too long
You've left her lonely, too long, too long, too many nights
You left her all alone
So if you started hurtin' then there's one thing for certain
You've left her lonely too long
[ The Hagers ]
She looked at me then laughed at me then turned around and walked away
Leaving me another day another day with lonely
It seems like all my trouble starts and ends in the same old way
Being without you uh huh being without you
Looking around while I'm walking downtown tryin' to get rid of lonely
Caring about you thinking about you has turned me upside down
Your love was something to lean on you've taken it away
I come back to your house at night to sit on your steps and pray
Now I'm alone with lonely all alone with lonely
Being alone with lonely is being lonely alone
Your love was something...
Today I started loving you again I'm right back where I've really always been
I got over you just long enough to let my heartache mend
Then today I started loving you again
What a fool I was to think I could get by with only these few million tears I've cried
(I should have known the worst was yet to come
And the crying time for me had just begun)
Today I started loving you...
We're gonna get together we're gonna get together
We're gonna get together today
Well I'm a gonna hug and kiss ye (well honey I can't resist ye)
We're gonna get together today
Well now I come from the country (and I come from the city)
We're gonna get together today
Well I like fried potatoes (and I like slice tomatoes) we're gonna get together today
We're gonna get together...
[ dobro ]
(Now I come from the city) well I come from the country
We're gonna get together today
(Well I like Johnny Carson) well let's go see the Parson we're gonna get together today
We're gonna get together...
Well now honey I'm gonna get ye (hmm well baby I'm gonna let ye)
We were made for each other I'm for you (you're for me)
There will never be another I'll be yours eternaly
For as long as the world turns and the leaves of autumn fall
Long as there's a star in heaven I'll be waitin' for your call
We were made for each other...
[ piano - steel ]
(For as long as the wind blows long as summer follows spring
Long as winter brings the snowflakes I will love you constantly)
We were made for each other...
You've got me under your spell again
Sayin' those things again
Makin' me believe that you're just mine
You've got dreamin' those dreams again
Makin' those things again
I've gotta take you back just one more time
I swore the last time that you let me down
That I wouldn't see you if you came around
But I can't tell my heart what's right or wrong
And I've been so lonely since you've been gone
You've got me under your spell again
Sayin' those things again
Makin' me believe that you're just mine
You've got dreamin' those dreams again
Makin' those things again
I've gotta take you back just one more time
Well, everybody tells me that I'm a fool
That I never should have put my faith in you
And way down deep inside I guess I know it's true
But no one else can make me feel the way you do
You've got me under your spell again
Sayin' those things again
Makin' me believe that you're just mine
You've got dreamin' those dreams again
Makin' those things again

Touch me touch the hand of a man who once owned all the world
Touch me touch the arms that once held all the charms of the world's sweetest girl
Touch me maybe someday you may need to know how it feels when you lose
Touch me you'll know how you feel with the blues
Watch me watch the eyes that have seen all the heartache and pain in the land
And be thankful you're happy though standing so close to the world's bluest man
Don't forget me take a good look at someone who's lost everything he can lose
Touch me you'll know how you feel with the blues
[ steel ]
There's gotta be some changes made round here
I can't go on like this and that's for sure
Yes I've gotta know is it stop is it go should I leave or stay am I just in your way
There's gotta be some changes made round here
There's gotta be some changes made round here
For I can't stand another lonely night of fear
Don't be so unkind I'm almost out of my mind do I fit in your plans
Please tell me where I stay there's gotta be some changes made round here
[ ac.guitar ]
Yes I've gotta know...
There's a gonna come a day you're gonna sit and cry
There's a gonna come a day you're gonna sit and cry
When your new love leaves you and wanders far away
Remember what I'm a tellin' you there's a gonna come a day
There's a gonna come a time you're gonna be all alone
There's a gonna come a time you're gonna be all alone
You're gonna reach to touch me but I'll be far away
Remember what I'm a tellin' you there's a gonna come a day
There's a gonna come a day...
[ guitar ]
There's a gonna come a time you're gonna look around
There's a gonna come a time you're gonna look around
You're gonna open your big blue eyes but it's gonna be too late
Remember what I'm a sayin' now there's a gonna come a day
There's a gonna come a day...
There goes the girl I used to know there goes the girl that I love so
There goes the arms that used to hold me tight
There goes the reason that I sigh there goes the reason that I cry
There goes the lips I used to kiss goodnight there goes my love
Well you're the first love of my life and you might be my last
I don't want to be just another memory in your past
There goes the girl...
[ steel ]
I've got a feelin' for you yet that's with my night and day
Just because we're far apart don't make it go away
High as the sky is my love for you warm as the sun that comes shining through
Strong as a wave on the ocean blue that's how I measure my love for you
When I sleep all my dreams are just dreams of you
When I'm awake all my thoughts are of only you
I'd walk a mile just to see one little smile from you
That's how I measure my love for you
[ steel ]
When you're gone how I long for the sight of you
When you're near how I thrill to the touch of you
Right or wrong from now on I'll be a part of you
That's how I measure my love for you
High as the sky...
I had the key to heaven when we married and for a while I brought you happiness
But now your love for me is dead and buried
And every night you share another's kiss
And I'd rather be the one you slip around with
And be the one who's dream of love is gone
I'd rather be the one you spend your time with than be the one at home all alone
[ steel - fiddle ]
Deep down inside I know that I should leave you
How many tears was fallen before I learn
I think of many ways that I could grieve you and yet I'm always here when you return
And I'd rather be the one...
You walked in with me but you walked out with someone else
And left me sitting here alone all by myself
I thought you were over him but I was wrong
My world stopped but the band keeps playin' on
They just keep playin' they don't notice you were gone
You walked right out on me while they played our favorite song
And before you reached the door my teardrops hit the floor
My world stopped but the band keeps playin' on
[ steel - fiddle ]
Well you said you'd forgotten him and no more did you care
But when we walked in your eyes lit up as you saw him sitting there
Well he asked you to dance and just like that you were gone
And my world stopped but the band keeps playin' on
They just keep playin'..

Somebody put a quarter in the jukebox
Somebody play that certain hurtin song
That one about forever, that one about no never
That one about the good love thats gone wrong
I'd tell our friends I'm doin fine without you

But I'm afraid they'll know it.
Yes I'm afraid I'll show it
Cuz all I ever play's that same ole song
So, Somebody put a quarter in the jukebox
Somebody play that certain hurtin song
That one about forever, that one about no never
That one about the good love thats gone wrong
So I'm sittin here a staring at the jukebox
Hopin' that somebody comes along

Will have a pocket full of quarters
And who'll play that love gones wrong song all night long.
So, Somebody put a quarter in the jukebox
Somebody play that certain hurtin song

So hang on high let me live or die in San Francisco town

Last night I played the jukebox o'er and o'er
But it only made me miss you more and more
I cried with every sad song I heard play
And if it takes this to make you happy it's the price I'll have to pay.
I'll not stand in your way I'll go on along
So I'll have one more bottle and I'll play those sad sad songs
It will help me to get through another day
And if it takes this to make you happy it's the price I'll have to pay.

Hold you close and whisper I love you, nobody but you
And everytime I'm near you you make me think a lot
But I shouldn't think about what I'd do if I's alone with you.
Well, I'd squeeze your little neck until you came right into my wishes
And I would tell the whole world that we're gonna be Mr. and Mrs.
Promise I would never leave you or deceive you
And never do anything to grieve you
'Cause I love you true, no one else will do.

I guess I was born with bad luck
Never heard a good luck call
And if it wasn't for bad luck
I wouldn't have any luck at all.
Everybody's luck keeps changing
But my luck stays the same
I call and nobody listens
And no one remembers my name.
I'm a natural loser, loser
Walkin' down the loser's trail
I'm a natural loser, loser
All I'll ever do is fail.
Well, I drove over to Las Vegas
In my nine thousand dollar Cadillac
And before I could say Jack Robinson
I was a walkin' back.
And now it seemed boat sold for a nickel
It stayed on sail for a week
I'd have to run up and down the faint
Yellin' gee-whiz ain't that cheek.
I'm a natural loser, loser
Walkin' down the loser's trail
I'm a natural loser, loser
All I'll ever do is fail.
Walkin' down the loser's trail

The flame of love was burning high we vowed to never let it die

It's gonna be a long cold winter just hope to God I don't freeze
It's gonna be a bad year for the roses and a long hot summer's for me
Well you say that you're leavin' and that you ain't comin' back
And the way things're looking I don't doubt it not one a little bit
But what I am you made me and that's all I'll ever be
And if you don't change your mind abour leavin'
It's gonna be a long hot summer for me
You gotta walk that lonesome valley you gotta go there by yourself
There's no one else gonna go there for you you gotta go there by yourself
Now my mama said when she was dying son oh son you've left alone
Yes put your trust alone in Jesus and he will lead you safely home
You gotta walk...

And the boss said son I'll have to let you go
And I've had about all I can stand.

I said they get the best of me
So just in case that you should see me ace
Kindly lay a little light on me.
Well, I said lay a little light on me
Lay a little light on me
Don't wanna hear no moanin', right banana growin'

It sure been an uphill fight.
But the life they say goes on day by day
And there's no use to sit here a cryin'
'Cause I can change the tide on the oceans wide
This old bad luck's gotta change sometime.
Yeah, lay a little light on me
Lay a little light on me.
Tell me all the good news, I don't wanna hear the bad news
Lay a little light on me.
Yeah, lay a little light on me...

There's a got cold cold rain a fallin' I hope to God that I don't drown
But I've got a sweet baby waitin' and it's a long way to London town
One day I packed up my belongings said I could make myself a name
I knew that somewhere away out yonder there was awaitin' me fortune and fame
But now my rainbow's end has vanished my pot of gold's gone up in smoke
And I'm just tryin' to get back to baby and Lord I hope my baby love me broke

But now my big dreams all have failed my big plan's gone with the wind
And if I ever get back to London town I'm never gonna leave again
It's a long long way to London it's a long way to London town
It was with love my Saviour do me to Him
It was with love He led me from the dark
He gave me perfect gentle understanding
It was with love that Jesus won my heart
It was with love He worked my transformation
Without His love, this wonder could not be
And understanding, well my every evening
It was with love He heard this sinner's plea
It was with love He spoke the invitation
?Come follow me, lay down your tools and gold?
I'll love and serve my dear Redeemer
In God I trust to always give me faith in God I trust to drive away my hate
To fill my heart with his forgiven love yes I believe in him In God I trust
In God I trust to make me understand in God I trust to always hold my hand
To lead me on and take me when he must yes I believe in him In God I trust
That he'll be there when darkness falls over me
To give me light and guide me through life's raging sea
And when this world becomes a worthless dust I'll be with him above in God I trust
Well if you got a Cadillac boy and a forty room shack boy
A bucket full of money and a tree full of honey
But if you gettin' no huggin' no smoochin' or muggin'
Well if you ain't lovin' then you ain't livin'
Well if you're ridin' on the gravy train instead of walkin' down lovers lane
You can't make hay boy you're goin' the wrong way boy
You gotta get a little honey for it's better than money
Well if you ain't lovin' then you ain't livin'
[ guitar ]
Well if they call you a big big man cause you got a lot of bottom land
If you're kin to the president and if you help run the government
But if you get no attention you better off on a pension
For if you ain't lovin' then you ain't livin'
Well if you got a string of long long cars and you're smokin' them fourbit cigars
Well you ain't so well to do unless you get a little coochy coo
It takes a little of smackin' or your life is a lackin'
If I had you back again I'll tell you what I'd do
I'd dance a little jig of joy and turn a flip or two
My blue days would be over my long nights at an end
My heartaches would all vanish if I had you back again
If I had you back again your sweet lips I would kiss
There'd never be a lonely moment only happiness
Hand in hand together we would find the rainbow's end
I'd walk the straight and narrow if I had you back again
If I'd just one life to live I wanna be with you
And find again the feeling of a love that's sweet and true
I'd turn my back on everything my wild life I would end
I'd change my ways tomorrow if I had you back again

I could make a sad man happy I could make the roses glow
I could even take a summer rain and turn it into snow
I could stop the moon from shining or change the ocean tide
If I had you if I had you by my side.
I could make a poor man wealthy make the river flow up stream
I could even turn a nightmare into a sweetest dream
I could change this blue and lonely man and fill his heart with pride
If I had you if I had you by my side.
I could change this smallest candle to a flame that burn so bright
I could make the last be first in line and all the wrong be right
I could scale the highest mountain or swim the oceans wide
If I had you if I had you by my side.
If I had you if I had you by my side...
I worship the ground that you walk on I breathe every breath for you
I live every day to make you happy yes I've got it bad for you
I hurt every time someone hurts you I cry every time they make you blue
I live every day to make you happy yes I've got it bad for you
I know I'd die if you ever should leave me for my whole world turns around you
I live every day to make you happy yes I've got it bad for you
You find the thrill each time you let me down you know if you need me I'll be around
And when all your love affairs come to an end you know you can fool me again
Fool me again make my heart believe that your sweet sweet love belongs to me
Yes play the part and let my heart pretend come back and fool me again
[ steel ]
The same old line that keeps me hanging on is all I think about when I'm alone
And though I know how our love affair will end come back and fool me again
I'll go to church again with momma someday in the sweet by and by
I'll go to church again with momma up there in the chapel in the skies
You know when I was just a little boy my momma used to take me to church
And we'd read the Bible together
And we'd sing those wonderful old hymns that just seemed to warm your heart all over
Yes I know those were the happiest days I've ever spent
When I went to church with momma
I'll go to church again with momma up there in the chapel in the skies
Now momma's gone to heaven to meet Jesus there
And I know she's happy there Lord
And I know someday I'll meet her up there and we'll sing and praise the Lord
When I get to church again in heaven with momma
I'll go to church again...
I was looking back to see if you were looking back to see
If I was looking back to see if you were looking back at me
You were cute as you could be standing looking back at me
And it was plain to see that I'd enjoy your company
One Sunday afternoon as I was ridin' down the street
I met a cute little girl all dressed up so neat
And the way that she was stacked I wish I'd've had a Cadillac
For who would notice me just drivin' this model T
I was looking back to see if you were looking back to see
If I was looking back to see if you were looking back at me
You were cute as you could be standing looking back at me
And it was plain to see that I'd enjoy your company
Now listen baby it don't matter to me
Even in your model T you're as cute as you can be
If you'll take me for a ride I will set close by your side
And I will guarantee that we'll have fun on man alive
I was looking back to see if you were looking back to see
If I was looking back to see if you were looking back at me
You were cute as you could be standing looking back at me
And it was plain to see that I'd enjoy your company
Oh gee oh me perhaps you'd notice me
If I wadn't drivin' this model T
I was looking back to see if you were looking back to see
If I was looking back to see if you were looking back at me
You were cute as you could be standing looking back at me
And it was plain to see that I'd enjoy your company
Oh the bells started ringing and the birds started singing
And the clock on the corner struck two
Thunder started crashing and the lightning started flashing
And I knew I was falling for you
I was standing on the corner when I knew that I's a goner
The first time you came into view
My head started rocking and my knees started knocking
And I knew I was falling for you
Oh the bells started...
[ steel ]
(Well you scared me half to death I could hardly catch my breath
Your smile made my heart go boom
And when I looked into your eyes I was almost paralyzed
And I knew I was falling for you)
Oh the bells started ringing...
Lips make a smile on my face eyes don't let her see you shed a tear
Heart don't let her hear you skip a beat
And pride don't let her know how much I care
Don't let her know don't let her know how much I care
[ steel ]
Laugh dance and sing so she won't notice the hurt that's still burning deep inside
And don't let her see the way I tremble don't let her know how much I cried
Everybody else is doing it so honey let's do it too
It's been going on since time began
They say that once you try it you'll never get enough
If everybody else is doing it honey let's fall in love
Adam and Eve both did it and honey don't you forget
Romeo also did it with Juliet
My mama and my daddy both did it and for me that's good enough
If everybody else is doing it honey let's fall in love
If everybody's falling in love then that's gotta be good
If everybody's doing it honey don't you think we should
The whole wide world is doing it it's kickin' up quite a poss
If everybody else is doing it honey let's fall in love
[ ac.guitar ]
(There's no respections on it there's no set time or place
For the young and old it's all the same
And once old Cupid shoo shoo he just can't get enough
If everybody else is doing it honey let's fall in love)
If everybody's falling in love...
